Kemp, who last appeared regularly in the soap in 1999, will be reuniting with the Mitchells as Dame Barbara Windsor's character passes away from cancer.

Which British statesman's ancestral home was Blenheim Palace?	Winston Churchill: Journey through the life of the 'greatest Briton' - LA Times Winston Churchill: Journey through the life of the 'greatest Briton' Roy J. Harris Jr. Churchill 2015 showcases a dozen sites linked to the British statesman, including Blenheim Palace Commemorating the 50th anniversary of one politician's death — and extending the recognition to a whole year, across an entire nation — might seem excessive. Unless that politician is Winston Churchill, and the nation is Britain. "Our greatest Briton," as the World War II prime minister is known here, took that office in 1940 professing to have "nothing to offer but blood, toil, tears and sweat." Beyond merely delivering on that offer, he led the country, and the free world, in turning the tide against Adolf Hitler's Germany, saving England from what seemed an inevitable invasion. Five years later, the victory Churchill had envisioned freed Europe from a Nazi subjugation that he had warned would bring "the abyss of a new Dark Age." And so, the island nation has established Churchill 2015, tailoring a dozen tourist attractions to honor perhaps the 20th century's most sagacious and colorful leader, and to teach visitors about him and his time. The sites involved in Churchill 2015 include one of England's most glamorous and conspicuous — dazzling Blenheim Palace in Oxfordshire, his ancestral home — and what is certainly its most hidden, buried under government buildings in London's Whitehall district. Churchill War Rooms Imperial War Museums A scene features a Churchill likeness in the Transatlantic Telephone Room of the Churchill War Rooms. A scene features a Churchill likeness in the Transatlantic Telephone Room of the Churchill War Rooms. (Imperial War Museums) There, an expansive converted bomb shelter serves as one of the city's finest historical display spaces: the Churchill War Rooms. Adjacent is its Churchill Museum, which since 2005 has housed England's only exhibition devoted entirely to the 90-year life of the warrior-diplomat whose service extended from the era of horse-drawn artillery to the nuclear age. Among other spots on this Churchill grand tour are the family home, Chartwell, in Kent, southeast of London; Bath, in the west; and Scarborough in the north; all mark stops in his amazing career. For historians, this recognition couldn't come soon enough. Churchill War Rooms Anthony Devlin / Press Association The entrance to the Imperial War Museum's Churchill War Rooms are located at Clive Steps, along King Charles Street in central London. The entrance to the Imperial War Museum's Churchill War Rooms are located at Clive Steps, along King Charles Street in central London. (Anthony Devlin / Press Association) "We're in a moment when we're seeing the wartime generation dying out and when Churchill himself is passing out of living memory," said Allen Packwood, director of the politician's archives at Churchill College in Cambridge. Three key Churchill-related anniversaries converge this year. The two others: the 70th anniversary of the end of World War II, "and the 75th of Churchill's finest hour in 1940," Packwood noted, drawing on the famous phrase Churchill used to describe how history would view a British victory. England's Churchill 2015 tributes offer a chance to review our historical memory as well. "These days, we dimly believe that the Second World War was won with Russian blood and American money … [but] it is also true that, without Churchill, Hitler would almost certainly have won," writes London Mayor Boris Johnson in "The Churchill Factor," the former journalist's 2014 book. "Churchill matters today because he saved our civilization. And the important point is that only he could have done it." The War Rooms Any Churchill trek best begins in London, at the War Rooms' subway-stop of an entrance, just east of Westminster Bridge at the corner of St. James's Park and not far from 10 Downing St. There, one follows stairs down to the subterranean bunker, developed to allow the British government to plan strategy safely as German air raids rained hell on the city above. Churchill's temporary residence is preserved, as are the rooms for cabinet sessions and for communicating with his generals and allies — including U.S. President Franklin D. Roosevelt. With the claustrophobic feel intact, nearly half a million annual visitors get a vivid sense of how difficult it was to manage a war under such circumstances. Walking among the pillars, below the low-slung reinforced concrete, they peer through glass at open areas such as the map room, where battles were planned. It is the museum area, though, that brings the amazing sweep of Churchill's life into sharpest focus. Snippets from his wartime radio addresses waft through speakers, showcasing his often Shakespearean writing power and humor in the face of catastrophe that endeared him to many. Although his wartime administration is the museum's initial focal point, visitors quickly begin tracing the Churchill chronology through photos, starting with his patrician birth at the Blenheim estate in 1874 and his early gravitation toward military life. Surprising to those who know only the World War II Churchill: the many personal and professional reversals he overcame through the years, including an escape from capture in South Africa's Boer War in 1899, which brought him his first national renown. After entering politics and becoming first lord of the Admiralty, he was a force in promoting advanced weaponry, from tanks to airplanes, in the years before World War I. Told through film and audio, however, is the tale of his failed 1915 plan to take Constantinople. After a disastrous allied assault at Gallipoli, Churchill was dismissed, declaring privately, "I am finished." Much of his appeal reflects the way ordinary people can identify with his homely, flawed and occasionally comic side. "He's human and has his faults," said War Rooms director Phil Reed. "He smoked, he drank, he was conceited. Yet he brings people together because he's such an inimitably strong leader." His World War II achievements dominate the museum space, of course, but his later life is hardly less compelling. Churchill's return in the 1950s as prime minister showcases him as an elder statesman, with a keen, prophetic view of the changing political world. Best known during this time for his dislike of communism — he coined the term "Iron Curtain" in a speech delivered in America — Churchill also was among the first to urge nuclear negotiations between the West and the Soviets. He had coined "summit" to describe all high-level talks among leaders, including those aimed at arms reductions. Although no such nuclear summits took place during his lifetime, his words were remembered in later years. One fascinating interactive display lets museumgoers explore the development of Churchill's writing and speaking style. Early in life, he overcame a severe lisp, something few suspected when the prime minister rallied his people. (Churchill "mobilized the language and sent it into battle," according to John F. Kennedy, who as president made Churchill the first person to be granted honorary U.S. citizenship.) By analyzing Churchillian word constructions, according to museum director Reed, visitors are able to explore the "instantly recognizable phrases of his best-known oratory, and to understand how Churchill came to hold the position he now does in the minds and hearts of people all around the world." Another riveting feature of the museum is the film coverage of Churchill's Jan. 30, 1965, funeral, attended by leaders from around the globe. A reenactment of part of the funeral procession is planned for this year's anniversary, with a barge making the journey on the River Thames just as it carried Churchill on his way to eventual burial in a churchyard near Blenheim Palace. Blenheim A 1 1/2-hour drive or train ride northwest of London in Oxfordshire, the Blenheim estate officially reopens Feb. 14, after an updating to ready it for the year's celebrations. Blenheim does plan a memorial stroll for visitors through its Formal Gardens on Jan. 24 — the anniversary of the British leader's death. Organizers of Churchill 2015 plan no other events for that day, considering it a private time for the Churchill family. Like the London War Rooms, Churchill's Blenheim Palace birthplace will serve as a centerpiece for remembering the great statesman. New photographs and artifacts will be displayed, including young Winston's saddle for his pony Rob Roy. The palace guides will give a 40-minute tour, and an interactive display, "Blenheim Palace: The Untold Story," will feature discussions by animatronic members of the household staff across three centuries, taking a kind of "Downton Abbey" approach. It is noted that Churchill's mother, the former Jennie Jerome, was born in Brooklyn, N.Y. Of the 675,000 or so visitors expected this year, one in five probably will come from overseas, with half those being American. In mid-June, another memorial garden will open beside the estate's Temple of Diana, where Churchill proposed to Clementine Hozier in 1908. Buggy rides also are being added this year to take passengers to the nearby village of Bladon, where Churchill is buried in a family plot at St. Martin's Church. "It is remarkable that he chose to be buried at a small family churchyard, and not at Westminster Abbey," said Churchill archives director Allen Packwood, who finds the choice well-suited to the man. ____ A timeline of Winston Churchill's life Nov. 30, 1874: Winston Churchill is born at Blenheim Palace, Oxfordshire, England.

Who was the last woman executed in the UK?	The British female hanged 1868 - 1955 by Robert Anderson (Evans) on Monday, the 12th of January, 1874 . Thirty one year old Mary Ann Barry was executed alongside her partner in crime, 32 year old Edwin Bailey, for the poisoning murder of his illegitimate one year old child, Sarah, whom they considered a nuisance. With them on the gallows, set up in the quadrangle of Gloucester Gaol, was Edward Butt, who had shot his girlfriend. Mary became the last woman in England to suffer short drop hanging and reportedly struggled for some three minutes on the rope and had to be forced down into the pit by Anderson .ï¿½ The two men became still almost immediately. ï¿½ Berry, Elizabeth hanged by James Berry at Walton prison Liverpool on Monday, the 14th of March, 1887 . Thirty one year old Elizabeth Berry poisoned her 11 year old daughter for ï¿½10 life insurance. It was an unusual coincidence that the executioner and the criminal had the same surname and had also actually met previously when they danced together at a police ball. Biggadyke, Priscilla, was hanged at 9.00 a.m. Monday, the 28th of December, 1868 , at Lincoln by Thomas Askern for poisoning her husband with arsenic. It was alleged that she killed him because he discovered she was having an affair with one of their lodgers. Thirty five year old Priscilla was the first woman to be executed in private in Britain . She ascended the steps to the platform where she said "Surely all my troubles are over" and "Shame on you, you are not going to hang me." But Askern did, in his usual clumsy way and she reportedly died hard. Britland, Mary Ann was executed by James Berry at Strangeways on Monday, the 9th of August, 1886 , becoming the first woman to be hanged there. Thirty eight year old Mary Ann Britland was convicted of poisoning Mary Dixon, with whose husband she had been having an affair. She had also previously poisoned her own husband, Thomas and daughter, Elizabeth. Bryant, Charlotte , hanged by Tom Pierrepoint at Exeter the 15th of July 1936 . Charlotte Bryant (33) was convicted of poisoning her husband with arsenic. She was having an affair with their lodger and it seemed a simple way to remove her husband from the scene. Whilst awaiting execution, her previously black hair turned completely white. Calvert, Louie , hanged by Tom Pierrepoint at Strangeways prison Manchester Thursday, the 24th of June, 1926 . Louie Calvert, also 33, had criminal tendencies and was known to the police. She battered and strangled her landlady, Mrs. Lily Waterhouse, who had confronted her over things that had gone missing from the house and had reported Louie to the police. In the condemned cell, she also admitted to the murder of a previous employer - John Frobisher - in 1922. She was the first woman to be hanged at Stangeways since Mary Ann Britland in 1886. Tuesday, the 6th of March, 1900 . Twenty four year old Ada Chard-Williams was convicted of drowning a small child whom she had "adopted" for a few pounds. She was suspected of killing other children and was another "baby farmer."ï¿½ She was the last woman to hang at Newgate, subsequent female executions in London taking place at the newly converted women's prison at Holloway. Christofi, Styllou , hanged by Albert Pierrepoint at London 's Holloway women's prison on Monday, the 13th of December, 1954 . Styllou Christofi, 53, was a Greek woman who brutally murdered her German born daughter-in-law, Hella, by battering her and then strangling her. Afterwards, she tried to burn her body. It is thought that she had also committed another murder in Cyprus . She asked for a Maltese Cross to be put on the wall of the execution chamber and this wish was granted - it remained there until the room was dismantled in 1967. Coincidentally, the murder was committed in the same street where a few months later Ruth Ellis was to commit hers - South Churchill, Catherine. Fifty five year old Catherine Churchill was hanged by William Marwood at Taunton Monday, the 26th of May, 1879 for the murder of her husband, 82 year old Samuel Churchill. Cotton, Mary Ann , hanged by William Calcraft, assisted by Robert Anderson, at Durham on Monday, the 24th of March, 1873 . Forty year old Mary Ann Cotton was Britain 's first female serial killer and until recently held the record for the greatest number of murders - all by poisoning with arsenic. Although only convicted of the murder of her stepson, she is suspected of 14-15 murders. 21 people who had been close to her had died in the preceding 20 years. Cotton was pregnant with her seventh child at the time of arrest and trial and the execution had to be delayed until after she had given birth, as was the usual custom. However, because of her pregnancy, there was a petition for her reprieve. This was denied and she was hanged in the prison yard. Newspaper reporters who witnessed the execution reported that she struggled hard for about three minutes after the trap fell. Daly, Mary . 40 year old Mary Daly was hanged by William Billington at Tullamore prison in Ireland on Friday, the 9th of January, 1903 for the murder of her husband John. Her co-accused, Joseph Taylor, was executed two days earlier. Dyer, Amelia Elizabeth , hanged by James Billington at Newgate prison on Wednesday, the 10th of June, 1896 . Amelia Dyer (57) was hanged for the murder of 4-month old Doris Marmon, a baby who had been entrusted to her care, having received ï¿½10 to look after them. This particular form of murder was known at the time as "Baby Farming" and it is thought that Dyer had murdered 6 or more other babies for money. Each baby had been strangled with white tape, which as she told the police, "was how you could tell it was one of hers." Ellis, Ruth, hanged by Albert Pierrepoint at Holloway prison, North London Wednesday, the 13th of July, 1955 . Ruth Ellis became the last woman to be executed in Britain - for the murder of her boyfriend David Blakely, who had refused to see her over the Easter of 1955. She lay in wait for him outside the Magdala pub and when he came out, shot him 5 times with a revolver. She was arrested immediately by an off-duty policeman and equally quickly convicted by an Old Bailey jury. Her execution caused a great deal of public controversy at the time. Flanagan, Catherine . 55 year old Flanagan was hanged at Kirkdale prison, Liverpool by Bartholomew Binns, side by side with her sister, Margaret Higgins (see below) on Monday, the 3rd of March, 1884. Binns was assisted by Samuel Heath as it was a double execution. Higgins, Margaret , Monday, the 3rd of March, 1884. Flanagan and Higgins were both convicted of the poisoning of 44 year old Higgin's husband, Thomas, for his life insurance. He was not their only victim (there were at least three) and they were not the only female poisoners operating in this area of Liverpool in the 1880's. As was usual at the time, the Crown simply prosecuted one capital case at a time and did not go for anymore if the first resulted in a guilty verdict and death sentence. King, Jessie . King, aged 27, was hanged by James Berry at Calton prison Edinburgh on Monday, the 11th of March, 1889 for the murder, by strangling, of Alexander Gunn, one of two children in her care whom she murdered and buried in her cellar. She was a baby farmer and was thought to have murdered a third child whoï¿½s body was not recovered. Lefley, Mary , hanged by James Berry at Lincoln Monday, the 26th of May, 1884 . Mary Lefley, aged 44, poisoned her husband, William, with arsenic and had to be dragged to the gallows screaming "Murder, Murder" and struggling with the warders. Major, Ethel Lillie , hanged by Tom Pierrepoint at Hull prison on Wednesday, the 19th of December, 1934. Forty three year old Ethel Major poisoned her husband, Arthur, with strychnine and her ghost is said to still haunt the prison. 's Newgate prison by James Billington on Tuesday, the 9th of January, 1900 . Thirty six year old Louisa Masset killed her four year old son, Manfred, and dumped his naked body in the ladiesï¿½ toilet at Dalston Junction railway station in London . The reason for the murder is that Manfred was a hindrance to her relationship with her boyfriend, so she took him to the station and battered him and suffocated him to death. Hers was the first British execution of the 20th century. Merrifield, Louisa , hanged by Albert Pierrepoint at Strangeways on Friday, the 18th of September, 1953 . Louisa Merrifield, 44, poisoned her employer, Mrs. Sarah Ann Rickets for whom she worked as housekeeper, to obtain her bungallow which had been left to Louisa under her newly changed will. She used a phosphorus based rat poison called Rodine and was tried with her husband, Alfred, who was acquitted. Sheil, Margaret was executed with her brother Lawrence at Tullamore in Ireland on Friday the 27th of May 1870 for the murder by shooting of 30 year old Patrick Dunne over a land dispute.ï¿½ It appears that this was the culmination of a long running feud between the two families.ï¿½ Lawrence had served a prison sentence for an earlier assault on Dunne and upon his release Margaret was reputed to have said ï¿½If no one will shoot the scoundrel Iï¿½ll do it myself!ï¿½ The pair ambushed Dunne on his way home from the pub at Philipstown, County , where she shot him and then cut his throat. These were the first hangings in Ireland carried out within the prison walls. Newell, Susan , hanged by John Ellis at Duke Street Wednesday, the 10th of October, 1923 . Susan Newell, aged 30, strangled newspaper boy John Johnston who would not give her an evening paper without the money. Having killed the boy, she wheeled his body through the streets on a handcart accompanied by her eight year old daughter, Janet, whose evidence helped to convict her. She was the first woman to hang in Scotland Wheeler (Pearcey), Mary Eleanor , hanged by James Berry at Newgate on Monday, the 23rd of December, 1890 . Twenty four year old Mary Pearcey was hanged for the murders of Mrs. Phoebe Hogg and her daughter (also Phoebe). She had cut Mrs. Hogg's throat and smothered the 18-month old child. She was having an affair with Phoebe's husband, Frank Hogg. Her father, Thomas Wheeler, had also been hanged for murder some 10 years earlier. Pearson, Elizabeth , 32 year old Pearson was hanged by William Marwood at Durham Monday, the 2nd of August, 1875 . Pearson was one of three unrelated murderers who suffered at Durham on that August day. She had poisoned her uncle, James Watson, with rat poison administered in his medicine. Sach, Amelia , hanged by William Billington and Henry Pierrepoint at Holloway prison together with Annie Walters (see below) on Tuesday, the 3rd of February, 1903 Twenty nine year old Amelia Sach was another "baby farmer" and she and Walters became the first women to hang at Holloway which had become London's women's prison. Previously, female executions were carried out at Newgate. Stewart, Francis , hanged at Newgate prison by William Marwood on Monday, the 29th of June, 1874 . Forty eight year old Stewart was executed for the murder of her infant grandson, the only grandmother to be executed for this crime. She was the first British woman to be hanged using the ï¿½long dropï¿½ method. Tuesday, the 29th of December, 1903 . Emily Swann, 42, went to the gallows with her 30-year old lover John Gallagher for the murder of Swann's husband, William. Hooded and noosed on the trap doors, Emily said "Good morning John" to which he replied "Good morning love."ï¿½ Emily replied "Goodbye, God bless you" before the drop fell ending any more conversation. Taylor, Louisa Jane , hanged by William Marwood at Maidstone on Tuesday, the 2nd of January, 1883 . Louisa Jane Taylor, 37, was executed for the poisoning, using a lead salt, of 82-year old Mrs. Tregellis at Plumstead. Her motive may have been money but equally may have been the sadistic pleasure of watching someone die slowly from lead poisoning. Thompson, Edith Jessie , hanged by John Ellis at Holloway prison on Tuesday, the 9th of January, 1923 . Edith Thompson aged 28 and her lover Frederick Bywaters were hanged in separate prisons at 9.00 a.m. on this day for the murder, by stabbing, of Edith's husband, Percy. Her execution caused considerable public disquiet as many doubted her guilt and the meaning of the various love letters that passed between her and Bywaters. She had to be carried to the gallows and it was reported that her underwear was covered in blood after the hanging. John Ellis committed suicide in 1932 and like everyone else present had been deeply affected by this execution. The bodies of Edith Thompson and Stylou Christofi were reburied in an unmarked pauper's grave in Brookwood, Surrey when Holloway was rebuilt in 1970. Tooke, Annie , hanged by William Marwood at Exeter on Monday, the 11th of August, 1879 . Forty year old Annie was executed for the murder of 6-month old Reginald Hyde.ï¿½ She may have been a baby farmer. Waddingham, Dorothea , hanged by Tom and Albert Pierrepoint at Birmingham 's Winson Green prison on Friday, the 16th of April, 1936 . Thirty six year old "nurse" Waddingham, as she called herself, used morphine to poison one of her elderly patients, 89 year old Mrs. Louisa Baguley and her disabled daughter, Ada Wadge, Selina , hanged by William Marwood at Bodmin on Thursday, the 15th of August, 1878 . Selina Wadge, aged 28, suffered for the murder of her illegitimate son, a sadly not uncommon crime in those days. Walber, Margaret . 53 year old Margaret Walber was hanged at Liverpoolï¿½s Walton prison by James Billington on Monday, the 2nd of April, 1894 for murdering her husband. Walsh, Annie, hanged at Mountjoy prison, Dublin by Tom Pierrepoint on Wednesday, the 5th of August, 1925 for the murder of her husband, 60 year old Edward. Thirty one year old Annie became the last woman to be executed in Ireland. Her co-defendant, nephew and lover, 24 year old Michael Talbot was executed at 8.00 a.m. , Annie following him to the gallows 45 minutes later.ï¿½ She had to be strapped to a collapse board. Walters, Annie . Fifty four year old Walters was hanged at Holloway Tuesday, the 3rd of February, 1903 with Amelia Sach (see above). Theirs was the last double female execution and the first and only double at Holloway. Waters, Margaret, hanged by William Calcraft at Horsemonger Lane Goal (County of Surrey ) on Tuesday, the 11th of October, 1870. Waters, 35, was another baby farmer convicted of murdering an infant named John Walter Cowen. Webster, Catherine , hanged by William Marwood at Surrey ï¿½s Wandsworth prison on Tuesday, the 29th of July, 1879 . She was the only woman ever hanged at Wandsworth. Thirty year old Kate Webster murdered her elderly employer, Mrs. Julia Martha Thomas, with an axe. She then dismembered the body leaving parts in various places around London and throwing some into the Thames . The severed head was never found. She sold Mrs. Thomas's furniture and belongings and fled back to Ireland with the takings. She finally confessed her guilt to the chaplain the night before she was hanged. Williams, Mary. Thirty year old Williams was hanged by William Marwood at Liverpool ï¿½s Kirkdale prison, Liverpool on Monday, the 31st of August, 1874 for the murder of Nicholas Manning. With her on the gallows was 22-year old Henry Flannigan, who had been convicted of murdering his aunt. Willis, Rhoda , also known as Leslie James was hanged by Henry and Tom Pierrepoint at Cardiff	Ruth Ellis
Epiphany is known by what other name in some countries?	Ruth Ellis the 9th of October 1925 , the third of six children.ï¿½ She moved to London in 1941 and in 1944 became pregnant by a Canadian soldier, giving birth to her son Clare Andrea Neilson.ï¿½ Ruth became a model and also a night club hostess, working initially at the Court Club where she met, and in November 1950 married dentist George Ellis. In 1951, she gave birth to a daughter, Georgina , whom George refused to acknowledge.ï¿½ The couple split up soon afterwards and Ruth went back to nightclub work, becoming the manager of the Little Club in 1953.ï¿½ This was a popular club with the motor racing fraternity and it was here that she met 25 year old, former public school boy, David Drummond Moffat Blakely, who was trying to build a racing car with his friends, the Findlaters.ï¿½ He was soon living with Ruth in her flat above the club and they had a passionate and tempestuous relationship which led to physical violence on occasions.ï¿½ During one of these altercations, in January 1955, he punched her in the stomach which caused her to miscarry.ï¿½ David was known to be a heavy drinker and was jealous of Ruthï¿½s flirting with other club members, as she was of his other relationships. Ruth began seeing Desmond Cussens, who was some four years her senior.ï¿½ He had been a bomber pilot during World War II and when Ruth knew him was a director of Cussens & Co. She lived with Desmond for a time but continued to see David as well. The Crime. As stated above David was building a racing car with Ant Findlaters, and over Easter weekend of 1955 consistently refused to see her, having promised to do so and despite repeated visits and phone calls by Ruth to the Findlater's home. They had, unfortunately, taken on a nanny whom Ruth suspected David was having an affair with, although in truth he wasn't. So in a pique of jealousy and rejection on Easter Sunday afternoon ( the 10th of April 1955 ), Ruth persuaded Desmond to drive her to Hampstead where she lay in wait for David outside the Magdala public house in South where he and Findlater were drinking. When they came out to the car at around 9.30 p.m. , she called out to David who ignored her, so armed with a 38 calibre Smith & Wesson revolver she fired a first shot and then pursued him round the car firing a second shot, which caused him to collapse onto the pavement.ï¿½ She then stood over him and emptied the remaining four bullets into him, as he lay wounded on the ground. At least one bullet was fired from point blank range and left the tell tale powder burns on his skin. One bullet injured a Mrs. Gladys Yule in the thumb as she was walking up to the pub. Other drinkers came out of the pub to see what had happened and Ruth was arrested by an off-duty policeman, Alan Thompson, still holding the smoking gun. She was taken to Hampstead police station where she appeared to be calm and not obviously under the influence of drink or drugs, which she is alleged to have been taking by some, on the afternoon prior to the shooting. She made a detailed confession to the police and was charged with murder. Committal and remand. Ruth appeared at a special hearing of Hampstead Magistrates Court on the Easter Monday, (Aprill11th) where she was remanded in custody to Holloway Prison to await trial. She was placed in the hospital wing and kept under observation day and night. During her initial interview on the Monday afternoon, she again described the details of Davidï¿½s killing. The Principal Medical Officer, Dr. Mervyn Ralph Penry Williams, examined her and interviewed her twice, finding no evidence of mental illness.ï¿½ Ruth consented to and undertook an electro-encephalograph examination on the 3rd of May. This also failed to find any evidence of brain abnormality. While on remand in Holloway, she was also examined by Dr. D. Whittaker, psychiatrist for the defence, on June the 4th and by Dr. A. Dalzell on behalf of the Home Office, on the 9th of June. Neither man found any evidence of insanity. Ruth discussed her feelings on the days leading up to and including the murder, with Dr. Dalzell, and he reported to the Home Office that he found no evidence of delusions, hallucinations or other form of mental illness. These examinations were required by law to ensure that Ruth was legally sane and therefore fit to plead at her trial.ï¿½ Under the Trial of Lunatics Act of 1883 where evidence existed of insanity at the time of the crime was committed, the accused was to be committed to Broadmoor at Her Majestyï¿½s Pleasure. Some 428 people were found to be insane out of 3,130 people (13.6%) who were committed for trial for murder between 1900 and 1949. The trial. Her trial opened on Monday, the 20th of June 1955 in the Old Bailey's No. 1 Court before Mr. Justice Havers. The prosecution was led by Mr. Christmas Humphries, assisted by Mervyn Griffith Jones and Miss Jean Southworth, whilst the defence was led by Mr. Aubrey Melford Stevenson, assisted by Mr. Sebag Shaw and Mr. Peter Rawlinson Ruth appeared in the dock in a smart black two piece suit and white blouse, her hair re-dyed to her preferred platinum blonde in Holloway with the special permission of Dr. Charity Taylor, Hollowayï¿½s governor. Hardly the image of the poor downtrodden woman! She pleaded not guilty, apparently so that her side of the story could be told, rather than in any hope of acquittal. She particularly wanted disclosed the involvement of the Findlaters in what she saw as a conspiracy to keep David away from her. When the prosecuting counsel, Mr. Christmas Humphreys asked her, "Mrs. Ellis, when you fired that revolver at close range into the body of David Blakely what did you intend to do" she replied, "It was obvious that when I shot him I intended to kill him." So the jury were presented with a tacit admission to the shooting plus the all important admission of intent to kill. There were legal submissions made by Mr. Melford Stevenson, QC, counsel for the defence, regarding provocation. Mr. Justice Havers said he had given careful consideration to these but ruled that there was "insufficient material, even upon a view of the evidence most favourable to the accused, to support a verdict of manslaughter on the grounds of provocation." Mr. Melford Stevenson said that in view of that ruling it would not be appropriate for him to say anything more to the jury. The jury were then brought back into Court and in their presence Mr. Melford Stevenson said, "In view of the ruling which your Lordship has just pronounced I cannot now with propriety address the jury at all, because it would be impossible for me to do so without inviting them to disregard your Lordship's ruling." Mr. Christmas Humphreys indicated that in the circumstances, he would not make a final speech to the jury either. The Judge then summed up. After reviewing the evidence for the prosecution, his Lordship said: "You will remember that when Mr. Stevenson made his opening address to you he told you that he was going to invite you to reduce this charge of killing from murder to manslaughter on the grounds of provocation. "The House of Lords has decided that where the question arises whether what would otherwise be murder may be reduced to manslaughter on the grounds of provocation, if there is not sufficient material, even upon a view of the evidence most favourable to the accused, that a reasonable person could be driven by transport of passion and loss of control to use violence and a continuance of violence, it is the duty of a judge, as a matter of law, to direct the jury that the evidence does not support a verdict of manslaughter. I have been constrained to rule in this case that there is not sufficient material to reduce this killing from murder to manslaughter on the grounds of provocation."ï¿½ ï¿½It is therefore not open to you to bring in a verdict of manslaughter on the grounds of provocation.ï¿½ Referring to the evidence for the defence, the Judge said: "This Court is not a court of morals, this is a criminal court and you should not allow your judgement to be swayed or your minds to be prejudiced in the least degree against the accused because according to her own admission she had committed adultery, or because she was having two persons at different times as lovers. Dismiss those matters wholly from your minds." Mr. Justice Havers continued, "But I am bound to tell you this, that even if you accept every word of Mrs Ellis' evidence there does not seem to be anything in it which establishes any sort of defence to the charge of murder."ï¿½ The jury then retired and not surprisingly found Ruth guilty after deliberating for only 23 minutes. It was hard to see how any other verdict was possible. To convict a person of murder two things have to be proved, 1) that the person actually killed the victim (known as the "actus reas" or the "guilty act") and 2) that they intended to kill the victim (known as the "mens rea" or the "guilty mind") - clearly there was no question as to whether Ruth had actually killed David Blakely and by her famous answer to the question as to her intention when she fired the shots, there could be no question as to her intent. If it had been possible to show that she had not intended to kill him, the correct verdict would have been guilty of manslaughter. Mr. Justice Havers had no alternative but to sentence her to death. The black cap was placed on his head and she was asked if she wished to say anything ï¿½ she remained silent and stood impassive as he then sentenced her to be taken to the place where she had last been confined and from there to a place of execution where she would suffer death by hanging. To which she replied, "Thank you". Unlike many people who have just heard their death sentence, Ruth did not faint or become hysterical but rather turned on her heel, smiled to her friends in the public gallery and walked calmly down the stairs at the back of the dock. She was taken back to Holloway in a prison van and placed in the Condemned Suite where she was guarded round the clock by shifts of two female warders.ï¿½ It has been stated by Nigel Havers (the actor and grandson of Mr. Justice Havers) that as trial judge, his grandfather had recommended a reprieve for Ruth in his post trial report to the Home Office but, unusually this recommendation was rejected. In the Condemned Suite at Holloway. Like all condemned prisoners Ruth was permitted to have visitors and was visited by the Bishop of Stepney, Joost de Blank, in whose diocese the prison is situated, as well as her family and friends. The High Sheriff of London provisionally set Wednesday, July the 13th for the execution pending an appeal. Ruth decided against this as there were absolutely no legal grounds for an appeal. The final decision on her fate therefore rested with the Home Secretary, Major Gwilym Lloyd George, later Lord Tenby. Despite very considerable public and press pressure, he decided against her. His decision was announced on the afternoon of Monday, the 11th and communicated to Ruth by the governor, Dr. Taylor. She was visited by her mother and her friend, Jacqueline Dyer, within an hour of hearing there would be no reprieve.ï¿½ Petitions containing several thousand signatures were sent to the Home Office requesting a reprieve.ï¿½ There was to be one final attempt to save Ruth.ï¿½ She had requested a meeting with Leon Simmons who had represented her at her earlier divorce, to discuss her will, and he and Victor Mishcon went to see her in the condemned cell at 11.15 a.m. on the Tuesday morning.ï¿½ Unbeknown to Ruth, they had been asked by her trial solicitor, John Bickford, to make one final attempt to find out from her where she got the gun.ï¿½ Victor Mishcon was surprised at the woman he saw in Holloway who had by now less than 21 hours to live.ï¿½ He recalled that she greeted him saying, ï¿½how kind of you to come.ï¿½ I wanted Mr. Simmons to know certain facts which I think may have some bearing on my will.ï¿½ï¿½ Mishcon asked her about the gun and she told him that, ï¿½I am now completely composed.ï¿½ I know that I am going to die, and Iï¿½m ready to do so. You wont hear anything from me that says I didnï¿½t kill David.ï¿½ I did kill him. And whatever the circumstances you as a lawyer will appreciate that itï¿½s a life for a life. Isn't that just?ï¿½ Victor Mishcon was so struck by these words and her calm demeanour that he never forgot them.ï¿½ However, she did reveal some more details of the case against a promise from Mr. Mishcon that he would not try and use them to save her.ï¿½ She told him that she had been drinking with Desmond Cussens over the weekend and had told him that if she had a gun she would shoot David.ï¿½ He told her that he did indeed have a gun and took her and her son Anrde to show her how to use it.ï¿½ Andre was later to say that his mother couldnï¿½t hit a tree when she fired the revolver.ï¿½ All this was taken down in writing and Ruth finally and grudgingly allowed it to be taken to the Home Office.ï¿½ But warder Griffin , who was present during the interview, told the Home Office that Mr. Mishcon omitted a statement by Ruth that she had asked Desmond for the gun. The Permanent Secretary, Sir Frank Newsam, was out at the races that afternoon and her statement was left with another senior official.ï¿½ They had the police check this new story but it really didnï¿½t make matters any better.ï¿½ All it actually did was to show even clearer evidence of planning and intent to murder on her part.ï¿½ Sir Frank Newsam later wrote - "This uncorroborated statement by the prisoner does not add anything material to the information before the Secretary of State when he decided not to interfere. The discrepancy between the officer's report and Mr. Mishcon's statement is interesting and illuminating." Ruth had her last meeting with her parents and brother on the Tuesday afternoon and they left Holloway around 5.15 p.m. Her brother, Granville Neilson, told reporters that ï¿½she seemed absolutely calm and unafraid of what was going to happen to her.ï¿½ï¿½ The news of her new statement had made the evening papers and there was now even greater agitation for a reprieve.ï¿½ Ruth began a final letter to Leon Simmons that evening in which she said, ï¿½I did not defend myself. I say a life for a life.ï¿½ï¿½ She wrote a postscript to it the following morning telling him that she had not changed her mind at the last moment (about being hanged).ï¿½ She also wrote a moving letter to Davidï¿½s mother. It has been disclosed from Home Office files in the National Archives that as Ruth awaited her execution, she only once cried when an MP tried to persuade her into seeking clemency.ï¿½ Warder Griffin was once again present when Labour MP, George Rogers, tried to persuade Ruth to appeal for clemency and the warder claimed he had browbeaten her into agreeing. Dr. Charity Taylor, the then governor of Holloway, reported, "I have never seen Ruth Ellis so distressed, and the officers reported that for the first time she had cried. She told me she supposed it was too late to change her mind as he was going to the Home Secretary in the morning. "I did not ask her, but I formed the strong impression she did not wish Mr. Rogers to pursue the subject of a reprieve."ï¿½ Mr. Rogers had taken up the case at the request of one of his constituents in North Kensington, Ruthï¿½s friend, Jacqueline Dyer. The Home Secretary notedï¿½ "Our law takes no account of the so-called crime passionel, and I am not prepared to differentiate between the sexes on the grounds that one sex is more susceptible to jealousy than the other.ï¿½ "In the present circumstance, the woman was as unfaithful to her lover as he was to her. "If a reprieve were to be granted in this case, I think that we should have seriously to consider whether capital punishment should be retained as a penalty." The police view, expressed by Detective Chief Inspector Leslie Davies, was that it was entirely Ruthï¿½s decision to kill David. He wrote, "It is certain that her action was coldly premeditated because, without thought to her son to whom she is said to be very attached, she left him alone to come to Hampstead with her mind made up to commit this murder."ï¿½ He went on "On meeting Blakely and realising that his class was very much above her own, and finding he was sufficiently interested in her to live with her, it seems she was prepared to go to any lengths to keep him. Finding this impossible, she appears to have decided to wreak her vengeance on him." Ruth's father, Arthur Neilson (he had changed his name from Hornby), wrote a brief, poignant letter to the Home Secretary, adding his voice to those demanding a reprieve. "I respectfully beg of you to use your great influence to spare my poor daughter's life. This terrible tragedy has been a terrible shock to me. I was injured in the Blitz of May 10th 1941. I received a blow on the head which paralysed me down the left side of my body and Sir you will understand my nerves have gone to pieces under the strain. "My daughter I would have thought to be the last person to become involved in such a crime as a child she was shy and reserved and never gave me any cause for anxiety and later on she was a devoted mother to her two children. I blame the whole sequence of events to the fact of such an unhappy experience of three bad men, the details of which you will know.ï¿½ "I ask you as a distraught father to show her mercy. Yours respectfully . . ." Execution. Death came quickly in those days, Prisoner 9656 Ellis spent just three weeks and two days in the condemned suite at Holloway. There was much public sentiment at the time for a reprieve and thousands of people had signed petitions asking for clemency, including 35 members of London County Council who delivered their plea to the House of Commons the day before Ruth was to die. On the Tuesday evening, the eve of the hanging, the Governor at Holloway was forced to call for police reinforcements because of a crowd of more than 500, including the veteran anti capital punishment campaigner, Violet Van de Elst, who had gathered outside the prison's gates singing and chanting for Ruth for several hours. Some of them broke through the police cordon to bang on the prison gates, calling for Ruth to pray with them. Inside the usual preparations had been made. Ruth had been weighed at 103 lbs., clothed, and a drop of 8ï¿½ 4ï¿½ set. The gallows had been tested on the Tuesday afternoon using a sand bag of the same weight, which was left overnight on the rope to remove any stretch. Around 7.00 a.m. on the morning of execution, the trap was reset and the rope coiled up so as to leave the leather covered noose dangling at chest height above the trap. A cross had been placed on the far wall of the execution room at Ruth's request. In her cell, Ruth wrote a letter to David's mother, Mrs. Cook, apologising for killing him and finished her letter to Leon Simmons. She was given canvas pants to wear which had been compulsory for female prisoners since the Edith Thompson debacle. She was also given a glass of brandy just before 9.00 a.m. by the prison doctor to steady her nerves.ï¿½ She was attended by the Rev. John Williams, the chaplain of Holloway. At about 8.55 a.m. , a telephone call was received at Holloway from a Miss or Mrs. Holmes purporting to be the private secretary to the Home Secretary, saying that a stay of execution was on its way. Dr. Taylor (the Governor) immediately telephoned the Home Office and discovered that the call was a hoax. Dr. Taylor consulted Mr. Gedge, the Under Sheriff of London, and they decided to proceed. This led to a delay to the execution of one minute. Thus a few seconds before 9.01 a.m. , Albert Pierrepoint entered her cell, pinioned her hands behind her back with his special soft calf leather strap and led her the 15 feet to the gallows, accompanied by a male warder from Pentonville holding her elbows on either side.ï¿½ Pierrepoint recalled that Ruth said nothing at all during her execution. When she reached the trap, a white cotton hood was drawn over her head and the noose adjusted round her neck. His assistant, Royston Rickard, pinioned her legs with a leather strap and when all was ready, stepped back allowing Pierrepoint to remove the safety pin from the base of the lever and push it away from him to open the trap through which she now plummeted. The whole process would have occupied no more than 12 or 15 seconds and her now still body was examined by the prison doctor before the execution room was locked up and she was left hanging for the regulation hour.ï¿½ The law required that a female governor or deputy governor be present at the execution of a woman. Thus Dr. Charity Taylor together with Ralph Penry Williams, the prison medical officer witnessed the hanging, and Dr. Penry Williams would have examined her body afterwards. Around a thousand people, including women with prams, stood silently outside the prison that morning, some praying for her.ï¿½ At 918am, the execution notice was posted outside the gates and after that the crowd dispersed. Ruth's body was taken down at 10.00 a.m. and an autopsy performed by the famous pathologist, Dr. Keith Simpson, which showed that she had died virtually instantaneously. Unusually, the autopsy report was later published and Simpson noted the presence of brandy in her stomach. The official inquest report of her execution read as follows, " Thirteenth July 1955 at H. M. Prison, Holloway N7": Ruth Ellis, Female, 28 years, a Club Manageress of Egerton Gardens, Kensington, London - Cause of Death - "Injuries to the central nervous system consequent upon judicial hanging." An inquest was held by Mr. J. Milner Helme, the then Coroner for the City of London, later on the Wednesday morning and Ruthï¿½s brother made a formal identification of her body.ï¿½ A scarf had been put round her neck to hide the rope marks. Ruthï¿½s body was buried within Holloway prison around lunchtime, in accordance with her sentence, but later disinterred and reburied in the churchyard of St Mary's Church in Amersham Buckinghamshire when Holloway was rebuilt in the 1970's. Her death was registered on the 14th of July 1955 (the day after the execution) on the basis of a Certificate issued by the Coroner in the Registration District of Islington, Sub-district of Tufnell as Entry Number 25 for the September Quarter 1955. Click here for a drawing of the condemned suite and execution room in Holloway and here to read Ruth's autopsy report. Did Ruth deserve to hang? This is a very subjective question and it is always dangerous to judge a case from a previous and very different age.ï¿½ Opinion at the time was polarised. However, in view of the evidence presented to them and the law as it stood in 1955, the jury had absolutely no option but to find Ruth guilty of murder. It was, after all, a murder that was premeditated and did not fit the legal definition of provocation as it was not carried out in the heat of the moment. At that time, a murder conviction carried a mandatory death sentence leaving the judge absolutely no discretion. Like all condemned prisoners, she was examined by a panel of Home Office psychiatrists who found her to be legally "sane," i.e. not suffering from any demonstrable mental illness that could be identified at the time that would have been severe enough to diminish her responsibility for the crime. The problem in Ruth's case, as in so many others before and since, is the imposition of a mandatory sentence for murder. The jury were not permitted to reach a manslaughter verdict and, in fairness, the evidence they heard simply did not justify it and thus were left only with a verdict of guilty of murder. Had they been asked merely to reach a verdict of guilty to homicide, leaving the actual sentence to be decided by others, perhaps she would have gone to prison for a few years and never been heard of again. But our legal system in the 50ï¿½s was very much "all or nothing" and for that matter still is, although the mandatory death sentence has been replaced by the mandatory "life sentence."ï¿½ The question of whether Ruth deserved death or not was not one the jury were able to consider - if they had been, it is very unlikely that she would have been hanged. The American concept of degrees of murder had been discussed in Britain but always rejected. Ruth had many qualities that engendered great public interest, she was an attractive, sexy young woman, a mother of two small children and a murderer whose victim was probably seen by most people as far from blameless. Her crime could hardly be described as "evil," a subjective concept admittedly, but a very important one in the minds of the general public in determining the justice of a case. She also behaved with great courage at all times, which no doubt, earned her considerable respect. Not surprisingly, the press gave tremendous coverage to the story and in doing so, aroused considerable sympathy for her. Much was made of her recent miscarriage and of the violence she suffered at David's hands. Another major factor that induced public sympathy was the knowledge that those prisoners who were reprieved seldom served more than 10-12 years in prison which made execution seem a very harsh punishment by comparison. If "lifers" were known to serve 30 or 40 years it would, perhaps, have seemed much more proportionate. This was a time when there was a substantial majority in favour of capital punishment but that support had been known to waver when it came to executing an actual person, particularly when that person was female, attractive and had not committed a particularly awful crime. (See also Edith Thompson ) The evidence in Ruth's favour. There seems little to suggest that she would have been a danger to the general public had she been released on parole after serving say 10 years of a life sentence. She had shown no propensity to violence to anyone other than David. She had clearly suffered much provocation, of the sort that many people who have experienced a passionate relationship would be able to appreciate, even if it fell outside the strict legal definition of provocation. She had certainly been the victim of a considerable amount of violent abuse from David, much of it witnessed by their friends and her customers. It was known that she had suffered a miscarriage in 1955, after David had punched her in the stomach and it is at least probable that this would have affected her mental state. Her crime was at least somewhat understandable, unlike those who, for instance, rape and murder small children and are outside the understanding of most of us. She showed remorse and willingness to accept responsibility for her crime, having made no attempt to run away or hide the truth of what she did or of what she had intended. It would be easy to add here that she was, at 28, relatively young and that she had two small children, although these factors are, in my view, "red herrings" that should have no place in deciding whether or not to reprieve her. How important is it to uphold the law even in "hard cases"? In 1955, Britain had the death sentence for the crime of murder and in upholding the law, it is very important that a sentence, once passed, be carried out even when the instinct of many would have been to reprieve. The problem in Ruth Ellis' case is that so many others were reprieved for no apparently more obvious or deserving reasons. 90% of the 145 women sentenced to death in the 20th century were reprieved. More to the point, here are three cases from the spring of 1955 to compare the justice or otherwise of Ruth's punishment against. A woman was reprieved the week before Ruth died for murdering her next door neighbour with a shovel in what seemed quite as bad a crime as Ruth's. Forty year old Mrs. Sarah Lloyd was sentenced to death at Leeds Assizes on the 6th of May 1955 for killing her 86 year old neighbour, Mrs. Emsley, after a long running feud between the two women. She was due to be executed on July 7th but was reprieved on the 5th. Her case had attracted virtually no publicity, and it was really only her husband who made any effort on her behalf to obtain a reprieve. She served just seven years of her life sentence for this crime. Sgt. Emmett Dunne was reprieved at the same time for murdering a colleague, whose wife he was having an affair with, simply because the offence took place at a British Army base in Germany, which was therefore on British Sovereign territory. Germany did not permit capital punishment, even for soldiers from a foreign country, so Emmett Dunne remained in prison for 11 years before being released on licence. On April the 1st 1955, 28 year old Alfred "Jake" Wayman was reprieved four days before he was due to hang for the murder of his girlfriend, Josie Larvin, who he had stabbed to death before he cut his own throat and stabbed himself. He survived this but was reprieved on the grounds that the throat wound might open up if he was hanged and lead to an unpleasant mess. He served 12 years of his life sentence. One can only conjecture how the same Home Secretary could make such different decisions and they could ever be justified to the "ordinary person in the street." There was no question of actual guilt in any of these cases so that wasn't the issue. Therefore, either all four should have been hanged as the law decreed or the law should have been changed and none of them hanged. In reality, half of all convicted murderers of both sexes were reprieved during the 20th century. This made the whole system a lottery with typically an average of 11 "losers" a year - hardly justice! Three factors would have counted against Ruth with the Home Office. 1) She used a gun to kill David and in doing so 2) injured an innocent passer-by in the street. ï¿½Where a murder was committed using a firearm or poison there was an un-written rule at the Home Office that the killer must hang.ï¿½ 3) Ruth had, by the standards of the day, very dubious sexual morals. This was seen as much more serious in the 1950ï¿½s than it would be now. On a purely personal note I have always wondered if one of the less publicised reasons the Home Office had for executing her was because of the public interest and sympathy that her case generated. I think the Home Office officials were, in the main, against capital punishment by this time and in the cynical way of the Civil Service, could have used Ruth Ellis as a pawn in persuading parliament to abolish hanging. When there is public interest in a particular case, letters are written to MP's and to the press by ordinary people who would never normally publicly express a view. In Ruth's case these were predominately in favour of a reprieve. So by executing her, the Civil Service possibly felt they were furthering the abolitionist cause. Did the same happen in Derek Bentley's case four years earlier? In any event, Ruth's case led to the Homicide Act 1957 which limited the types of murder that were capital and introduced the defence of diminished responsibility. (Ironically, neither of these changes would necessarily have saved her.)ï¿½ Capital punishment was effectively abolished nine years after her death, and there were no executions in Britain during 1956 and the first half of 1957. It is interesting to compare the public sympathy and interest in Ruth's case to the total lack of either in the case of Mrs. Styllou Christofi , hanged eight months earlier.ï¿½ Mrs. Christofi was an unattractive middle aged Greek Cypriot woman who had brutally murdered her daughter-in-law (and possibly another person previously) and in whom there was very little media interest. Albert Pierrepoint made this point to the army of reporters waiting to interview him after Ruth Ellis' execution. He hanged both of them. Equally the other women hanged since the end of the war, Margaret ï¿½Billï¿½ Allen and Louisa Merrifield, had very little attraction (sex appeal?) for the media and for various reasons elicited little public sympathy. One has to decide whether one is in favour of the death penalty for all those convicted of capital crimes or not. If you are, you will, inevitably, have to accept that some prisoners will have more endearing qualities than others but that these cannot or should not be any excuse for a reprieve. An "alternative" conclusion. We are told that Ruth's principal motive was jealousy and it seems reasonable to accept that this was the prime mover in her subsequent actions. It has been said that David wanted to end their relationship, although we cannot be sure of that or of whether Ruth knew of his intention. But in any event, there are some very interesting questions raised by the case: Why did she not try finding another boyfriend - she had plenty of potential boyfriends available? Why did she give no thought to what would happen to her children? Why did she choose to murder David when she knew that she could well be hanged for doing so? Why did she choose to murder him in a public place where there would be witnesses and then calmly allow herself to be arrested rather than trying to escape? Why did she choose to kill him in the way she did thus removing any possibility of a manslaughter verdict? Why did she play out her ice cold act in court and give the answers she did to the prosecuting counsel? Why did she not appeal or do anything whatsoever to save herself? It is always assumed, particularly by the media, that nobody could actually want to be executed. (Although there have been a number of cases of what the Americans call consensual execution in that country over the last 20 years.) Although she was found to be legally sane, she was also clearly not entirely "normal" in any accepted sense of the word. Normal people do not have such complete disregard for their own lives and more particularly for the lives of their children. (Her son Andria later committed suicide in 1982.) But what if her motive was to kill David and then to die herself, so ending their earthly relationship and ensuring that he could not be unfaithful to her again? It has been said that she intended the last bullet for herself although this cannot be proved. Perhaps in the heat of the moment, she did not count the shots or perhaps she could not bring herself to commit suicide. So was being hanged merely a form of state-assisted suicide without the risk of "bottling out " at the last moment or of not actually succeeding in killing herself? She apparently had no intention of serving a life sentence and being finally released an old and broken woman. This idea certainly did not appeal to her. Perhaps she wanted to be punished and being hanged fitted her own romantic/masochistic image of what should happen to her for the murder of her errant lover. As stated earlier, she was known to be in favour of the death penalty (reiterated by her in a letter she wrote to her solicitor in her last hours in Holloway.) She also seemed to have a clear idea of what execution by hanging in the 20th century was like. She told her friend Jacqueline Dyer, "Don't worry, its like having a tooth out and they'll give me a glass of brandy beforehand." Obviously, we can never know the innermost workings of her mind over this period but one could almost say that she did everything she could to manipulate the system to obtain her death from it. Had she pleaded guilty, she would have been sentenced to death, but her testimony would not have come out and the Home Office would have simply decided for her what her intentions and state of mind were at the time of the shooting and might have reprieved her. She was, as said earlier, found sane when examined in Holloway by prison psychiatrists, but was she sane at the time of the murder? Or was she driven mad by jealousy? We cannot know - but she effectively blocked any defence of temporary insanity by her answers to the prosecution's questions. One can only wonder why she behaved as she did and continued to pursue her death with total courage right up until the end. Much has been made of where Ruth got the revolver and of what Desmond Cussen's role in the killing was (Desmond is the man Ruth referred to in her last statement to Victor Mishcon). She claimed up to that point that she had been given the gun by a customer as security for some money. What difference does it make where the gun came from? She wanted a gun and either had one in her possession or obtained one. In those days, she would have had no problem in obtaining a gun through her wide circle of contacts. It has also been claimed that Desmond was a party to the killing. This, I feel, is unlikely. He drove Ruth to Hampstead - that is not in doubt. Whether he was really aware of her intention to kill David is not clear. As stated earlier he was a director of the family business, a wholesale tobacconists called Cussen & Co. It seems that he was infatuated with Ruth and like many weak willed men, would have done anything for her, in the hope that she would finally love him instead of David or at least just to get her company for awhile. I cannot believe that he would have let Ruth murder David in the way she did, had he known of her intentions or really thought that she would have carried them out. People in 1955 knew the likely punishment for murder - Desmond would certainly have done so and also known that even if Ruth was reprieved, she would have to serve a life sentence. I tend to think that he would have done his best to dissuade her from shooting David rather than have been her co-conspirator - he had everything to lose by knowingly allowing what actually happened. He could well have gone to prison himself for a lengthy period for aiding and abetting her in the offence. Had Desmond wanted David dead (and there is no hard evidence that he really did), I am sure he would have found a way that was not likely to result in tragedy for Ruth and the loss of the woman he loved. 8th of February 2002. At the behest of Muriel Jakubait, Ruth's sister, and Ruthï¿½s daughter Georgie, who died soon afterwards, the Criminal Cases Review Commission (CCRC) referred Ruth's case to the Court of Appeal. Evidence was presented to the CCRC that Ruth was suffering from post-miscarriage depression at the time of the shooting. It was also suggested that she was suffering from post-traumatic stress disorder, although this condition had not been medically defined in 1955. It is further claimed that her original defence team were negligent and that she was persuaded to commit the crime by Desmond Cussen, who was jealous of David. It is alleged that she was physically and sexually abused by her father and was beaten by her husband George Ellis. The Appeal Hearing. The appeal finally came before the Appeal Court in London on Tuesday, the 16th and Wednesday, the 17th of September 2003.ï¿½ The judges were Lord Justice Kay, Mr. Justice Silber and Mr. Justice Leveson.ï¿½ The Court was asked to overturn the murder conviction and substitute a verdict of manslaughter on the grounds of provocation and/or diminished responsibility.ï¿½ Michael Mansfield QC, appeared for the appellant and introduced evidence to show that Ruth was suffering from "battered woman syndrome" when she shot David.ï¿½ It should be noted that "battered woman syndrome" was only accepted as defence to homicide in 2000 and therefore could not apply retrospectively. Michael Mansfield claimed that she had been "disgracefully treated" by him and that this could have left her in an intensely emotional state. He also claimed that Mr. Justice Havers and the prosecution and defence barristers involved in the case were "labouring under a misconception of the law." They believed that, to establish provocation, the defence had to prove the killing was not motivated by malice, but that what happened was in the "passion of the moment" without any intent to kill or cause grievous bodily harm. Mr Mansfield argued that this was an incorrect view and that the correct construction of the law on provocation as it then stood was that there was an intent to kill, but that it arose out of a passionate loss of control and provocative conduct.ï¿½ He suggested that ï¿½cumulative provocationï¿½ incited her to shoot David and that this was not considered in the original trial. Evidence was adduced to show that despite Ruth giving up her job and the flat that went with it and providing David with money, he regularly beat her up, at one point so badly that she went to hospital. Afterwards, he apologised with flowers and a card and she accepted him back again as she always did. In January 1955, Ruth discovered that she was pregnant with Davidï¿½s child. In her original testimony, read to the Appeal Court, Ruth described a fight in which ï¿½David got very, very violent. I donï¿½t know whether that caused the miscarriage or not, but he did thump me in the stomach.ï¿½ David returned to Ruth on the Wednesday before she murdered him to profess his ï¿½undying loveï¿½ for her and promised to marry her. On the Saturday night, it is claimed that Ruth sat in an empty house opposite and watched a party where David was cavorting with a nurse. A doctor at the original trial said: ï¿½The situation was now absolutely intolerable for her. She considered he was being unfaithful at that moment but she was convinced he would return and she wouldnï¿½t be able to resist him.ï¿½ This behaviour was the trigger, Mr Mansfield said, for manslaughter, not murder. Further evidence came from a retired midwife now living in Australia, who gave a written statement to the Criminal Cases Review Commission in 1999.ï¿½ Moreen Gleeson, then in her 20ï¿½s, saw Ruth in the street, allegedly on the night she shot David. She was "stressed and weeping."ï¿½ Apparently she told Ms. Gleeson: "It's my boyfriend. He's in there with another woman. He won't let me in!" Ruth was "quite distraught."ï¿½ To calm her, Ms. Gleeson suggested taking her home for a coffee. She said: "Ruth was crying again and said, as if surprised, "Oh! I've got a gun!"ï¿½ She also said a bulky man with a "proprietary air" loomed up and stood "possessively" over Ruth. This was understood to be Desmond Cussen.ï¿½ (It is difficult to see how Ms. Gleesonï¿½s statement helped the appellantï¿½s case, as all it does is to provide further evidence of pre-meditation and intent to kill.) Mr. David Perry appeared for the Crown at the appeal.ï¿½ He told the Court that at the time of her trial, there was no such defence as diminished responsibility, and the defence of provocation required evidence of a sudden loss of self control in immediate response to a provocative act. In Ruth's case, although it is accepted that she had been violently ill-treated by her lover in the past, the only provocation on the day of the killing was his breaking off their affair by failing to contact her even though he had promised to do so. Even if that amounted to provocation, her response to it was wholly disproportionate he said. The Verdict. On Monday the 8th of December, Lord Justice Kay delivered the Appeal Courtï¿½s ruling dismissing the appeal as ï¿½without meritï¿½ and finding that Ruth had been properly convicted of murder at her original trial. The Homicide Act of 1957 changed the law to allow a defence of diminished responsibility but the Appeal Court ruled that this defence was not available at the time of Ruth's trial.ï¿½ If the defence of provocation was to succeed, it had to be proved that Ruth had been subjected to violence immediately before the murder rather than in the recent past. Lord Justice Kay said: "Under the law at the date of the trial, the judge was right to withdraw the defence of provocation from the jury and the appeal must fail.ï¿½ï¿½ ï¿½If her crime were committed today, we think it likely that there would have been an issue of diminished responsibility for the jury to decide. But we are in no position to judge what the jury's response to such an issue might be." The Court was critical that the case had been referred to it at all, by the Criminal Cases Review Commission, (the body which examines possible miscarriages of justice) and stated that it could have dealt with 8 to 12 cases had it not had to consider this one. Lord Justice Kay said, "We have to question whether this exercise of considering an appeal so long after the event, when Mrs. Ellis herself had consciously and deliberately chosen not to appeal at the time, is a sensible use of the limited resources of the court of appeal." He added: "On any view, Mrs. Ellis had committed a serious criminal offence. This case is, therefore, quite different from a case like that of James Hanratty, where the issue was whether a wholly innocent person had been convicted of murder." I totally concur with the Appeal Court ï¿½s judgement ï¿½ Ruthï¿½s conviction was perhaps one of the safest convictions for murder ever!ï¿½ She did not deny the fact of shooting David or her intent to kill him ï¿½ and these are the two vital ingredients of the crime of murder as opposed to manslaughter.ï¿½ Many people live with abusive relationships where one or both partners is unfaithful and resorts to violence but very few choose to solve the problem by murdering their partner.ï¿½ Ruth did have alternatives ï¿½ she could have dumped David and lived with Desmond or found someone else. Every person has a ï¿½backgroundï¿½ and many defendants in serious cases have been or claim to have been abused as children, but the law takes no account of this in deciding guilt or innocence.ï¿½ Nor can it - most people who have had difficult or abusive childhoodï¿½s go on to be law abiding citizens. This is not to say that I do not have sympathy with Ruthï¿½s family, nor to say that, subjectively, she deserved to hang for what she did, but I do feel that this was an attempt to re-write legal history to suit todayï¿½s anti-capital punishment values. If this case had succeeded, one could argue that every capital case resulting in execution would have to have been re-examined.ï¿½ Ruth was punished in accordance with the law of the time, not the law as we might like it to be.ï¿½ Many people have been hanged over the last 200 hundred years for what we would now consider to be minor offences ï¿½ but that does not mean that they were not guilty or that their punishment was excessive when viewed by the values of their day.ï¿½ We cannot judge history by todayï¿½s standards, whatever the emotional appeal of a particular case. Ruthï¿½s famous "crime passionel" was recaptured 30 years later in the film "Dance with a Stranger" in which Miranda Richardson gave an excellent portrayal of this volatile and emotional woman. Sadly, the film only told half the story and gave no coverage of the trial and her behaviour at it or her evidence in answer to the questions put to her.	i don't know
Who founded ChildLine and presented That's Life?	BBC - London - Radio - Archive Photos: That's Life! You are in: London > Radio > 94.9 Presenters > Breakfast > Archive Photos: That's Life! Archive Photos: That's Life! Esther Rantzen, presenter of Thats Life, 1975. The show ran from 1974 to 1993. Famous for some lighthearted moments the show also founded ChildLine and raised public awareness for the need for child organ transplants after the death of Ben Hardwick. BACK	Esther Rantzen
Which three characters have advertised Kellogs Rice Krispies since 1903?	Esther Rantzen: Simon Cowell nicked my idea for X Factor… That’s Life! – The Sun TELLY legend Esther Rantzen brought the nation Sheena Easton, talking dogs and willy-shaped vegetables. But it turns out she’s also responsible for another screen shocker — Simon Cowell. Esther reveals: “You know Simon ripped off my idea for X Factor? “He was a young record producer when he worked with us on a talent show called Search For A Star on That’s Life. “It was the exact same format as X Factor. We held public auditions, filmed the wannabes — occasionally laughing — and even had the viewers vote for winner. “Sadly, unlike Simon and his millions of pounds, I didn’t make a single penny. “But at least Simon took me for a very expensive lunch at The Ivy as a thank you a few years back and told me, ‘The X Factor was all your idea of course’.” We meet at the Glasgow HQ of National Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Children, where Esther’s promoting the 25th anniversary of ChildLine — the free 24 hour counselling service for children which she founded. Esther is tiny, but looks great for her 71 years, in her trendy black jeans, frilly blouse and pearls. She may be more wrinkled than in her telly heyday, but she still has that trademark toothy smile. Hertfordshire-born Esther presented That’s Life on the BBC for 21 years — pulling in 18million viewers at its peak — until it was dropped in 1994. Over the decades she brought us hard-hitting campaigns including ChildLine, mixed with the wacky, like the dog that said ‘sausages’ or the bampot who played Amazing Grace on his fork-lift truck. She says: “It was a mix of serious and fun — not unlike The Scottish Sun, whose readers have been a great supporters of ChildLine. “I love the fact that nearly 20 years after it ended people still come up to me and say they loved this act. “That’s Life left people with wonderful, happy memories.” Me: “Yeah, but that dog couldn’t really say ‘sausages’. It just growled and the owner moved its mouth up and down.” Esther smiles: “Granted, Prince had a little help. But I’ll have you know that dog ended up making a record.” You can also see where Cowell got his idea for Britain’s Got Talent… But That’s Life did have a weird obsession with phallic-looking veg. Esther laughs: “It wasn’t our obsession — it was the viewers who sent them in by the ton every week. “But then the EU outlawed them, making carrots and parsnips all the same shape. That was terrible for us. It ruined a whole segment of the show.” She adds: “I was sent up by Spitting Image because of it. “And Billy Connolly’s wife Pamela Stephenson used to do an unrecognisable impression of me on Not The Nine O’Clock News, which mostly involved her wearing a big set of teeth.” But Rantzen also presented the talent show The Big Time, which discovered Bellshill-born singer Sheena Easton in 1980. It launched the Scot to superstardom — and a £40million fortune — as Sheena went on to sing the 1981 James Bond theme For Your Eyes Only and reach No2 in the States with the Prince duet U Got the Look in 1987. And Esther reveals she nearly quit the Beeb to follow the Scot. She says: “When I met Sheena at the first audition, she was just a student. “But immediately I genuinely thought about resigning to be her manager. I remember saying ‘10 per cent of her is going to be worth a fortune.’ “She became one of the richest women in showbiz at one point. Maybe I should have followed my gut instinct.” Although no longer a regular TV fixture anymore, Esther still occasionally pops up on our screens. She starred in ITV1’s I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here alongside David Van Day in 2008 while she paired up with Anton Du Beke on the Beeb’s Strictly Come Dancing in 2004. And she lets me into a showbiz secret… She explains: “You know, I was so nervous before Strictly, I asked permission to have a small glass of wine before dancing, but they banned alcohol on health and safety grounds. “To get round it, there was a rumour some of my fellow contestants took tranquillisers before their routines to help them calm down. “I didn’t because I’m petrified of pills. “I thought it might have had an adverse effect on me and made my legs all floppy. “But one show I’ll never do though is Dancing On Ice. That is like Strictly times death.” In 2010, Esther launched another campaign, this time to stand as an independent in the general election in the Luton South constituency — coming fourth behind the big three parties. She declares her decision was ‘an expensive piece of lunacy on my part.’ But even after quarter of a century, she is still as passionate as ever about ChildLine. She recalls: “We had a lot of advantages when we set it up in 1986 because my job with the BBC meant we were able to launch on television. “Margaret Thatcher was a huge supporter. She understood its importance from the beginning. “We still get the full spectrum of calls, like kids who’d been grounded for spilling ice cream on the carpet. That might seem trivial to an adult, but not to a child. “Then we have the opposite end of the scale with calls from children who simply don’t want to live anymore because they’re being abused. “So we continue to save lives. There are adults who wouldn’t be alive today without us. I know because I’ve met them.” She adds: “But after 25 years of ChildLine I’m now thinking older people need their own counsellors too. “So I’m in the process of setting up a service we’ll call SilverLine.” Mum-of-three Esther lives alone now, after the death of her documentary maker hubby Desmond Wilcox 12 years ago. She admits: “I have plenty of people to do something with, but no one to do nothing with. “Sometimes you’d like to just watch the telly and have a laugh with someone. I miss that.” But at least she still has TV’s Mr Nasty to keep her company. Esther says: “I’m a reality and talent show junkie. You name it, I watch it. “Everything from Britain’s Got Talent to America’s Got Talent, American X Factor and the American Apprentice. “So I don’t even mind Simon got the idea for X Factor from me as I take so much pleasure out of his shows.” Esther Rantzen CBE yesterday launched her Picture This competition to highlight 25 years of ChildLine with pupils at St Thomas Aquinas RC secondary school in Glasgow.

Which month gets its name from the Latin word for eight?	How Did the Months of the Year Get Their Names? \| Wonderopolis Wonder of the Day #89 How Did the Months of the Year Get Their Names? How did the months of the year get their names? Have years always started in January and ended in December? What is the Gregorian calendar? Tags: Listen Would you believe January was not always the first month of the year ? The ancient Romans used a different calendar system , and their year began in March and ended in February! Even though our modern system may be quite different from the ancient Romans', they gave us something very important: the months' names. Let's take a look at how the ancient Romans chose the names of the 12 months of the year . March: The ancient Romans insisted that all wars cease during the time of celebration between the old and new years . Since March was the first month of the new year in ancient Rome, some historians believe the Romans named March after Mars , the Roman god of war . April: Three theories exist regarding the origin of April's name. Some say April got its name from the Latin word meaning “second" since April was the second month on the ancient calendar . Others claim it comes from “aperire," a Latin word meaning “to open ," because it represents the opening of buds and flowers in spring . Still others think April was named after the goddess Aphrodite. May: May was named after Maia, an earth goddess of growing plants. June: Apparently, June has always been a popular month for weddings! The Romans named June after Juno, the queen of the gods and patroness of marriage and weddings. July: July was named after Julius Caesar in 44 B.C. Previously, July was called “Quintilis," which is Latin for “fifth." August: August was named after Augustus Caesar in 8 B.C. Previously, August was called “Sextillia," which was Latin for “sixth." Though we think of September, October, November, and December as months 9, 10, 11 and 12, these months were 7, 8, 9, and 10 on the ancient Roman calendar . This is how they got their names. September: September's name comes from septem, Latin for “seven." October: October's name comes from octo, Latin for “eight." November: November's name comes from novem, Latin for “nine." December: December's name come from decem, Latin for “ten." February: Around 690 B.C., Numa Pompilius turned a period of celebration at the end of the year into a month of its own, named after the festival Februa. This is how February got its name. January: Later, Pompilius added another month to the beginning of the year and named it January after Janus, the God of beginnings and endings. In 1582, Pope Gregory adjusted the calendar , so most western nations began celebrating the start of the year on January 1. This new calendar became known as the "Gregorian calendar ." However, England and the American colonies continued to celebrate the new year on the date of the spring equinox in March. It was not until 1752 that the British and their colonies finally adopted the Gregorian calendar . Wonder Words (18) Test your knowledge Wonder What's Next? Ahhh…the great outdoors.

What type of snake is a sidewinder?	Month Names Month Names Where do the month names come from? Name This month opens the year. February This was a Roman month of sacrifices and purification. March Start of year for soldiers (no fighting during winter) April This is the month when trees open their leaves. May This is the month when plants really start to grow. June He thought he was at least as important as Julius Caesar! September Seventh month (counting from March) October Eighth month (counting from March) November Ninth month (counting from March) December ten Tenth month (counting from March) When you look at September, October, November and December, it seems as if the Romans couldn't count! But their year used to start in March. When Julius Caesar reorganised the calendar and made it start in January, he kept the old names, apart from one month, which he called after himself. Augustus came after Julius Caesar and changed the name of another month. The Romans had the same months as us. They had special names for the first day in the month (the Kalends), the seventh day (the Nones) and the fifteenth (the Ides). The Kalends belonged to Juno . The Ides belonged to Jupiter . They did not have weeks like us. The infomation on this page comes from Plutarch, who has some other ideas about month names as well.

As a child, Britney attended dance classes, and she was great at gymnastics, winning many competitions and the like. But, most of all, Britney loved to sing. At age 8, Britney tried out for The All New Mickey Mouse Club (1989), but was turned down due to her young age. This directed her to an off-Broadway show, "Ruthless", for a 2-year run as the title character. At age 11, she again tried for The All New Mickey Mouse Club (1989) and, this time, made it as a mouseketeer alongside many stars of today ( Justin Timberlake and J.C. Chasez of NSYNC and Ryan Gosling ). Her big break, however, came when she was signed as a Jive Recording Artist in the late 90s. With the release of her debut album, "...Baby One More Time" in early 1999, Britney became an international success, selling 13 million copies of "Baby" and 9 million (as of July 2001) of her sophomore album, "Oops!...I Did It Again", released in May of 2000.

Who wouldn't want to be a princess? Onstage, I'm the happiest person in the world. [on Deborah Gibson at the 2001 American Music Awards] She's the original bubble-gum diva. I remember I read this harsh review about my show, and one of my friends told me that this was the exact same stuff people said about Madonna . And it's like, she didn't care. Madonna just came out and was herself. I respect that a lot. Just because I look sexy on the cover of Rolling Stone, doesn't mean I'm naughty. [on fellow pop-princess and former Mouseketeer Christina Aguilera ] Christina and I are friends no matter what the media makes up. England is one of my favorite places. The fans are just so crazy. I would really, really, really like to be a legend like Madonna . Madonna knows what to do next, and when she's performing, the audience is just in awe of her. [Her mother Lynne Spears on Britney's upbringing] I was not a permissive mother at all. [on her relationship with Justin Timberlake during the The All New Mickey Mouse Club (1989)] We were, like, 12 or 13 and it was like, "Hi, do you like me?". It was like puppy love. [on the tour to promote her third album [released in November 2001] I really want this to be like shocking and in people's faces and edgy. It's just basically, you know, there's a lot of scrutiny with everything I do. And, it's basically saying that I'm not a little girl anymore and this is me. And just, you know, I have to do what I have to do for me, and that's basically the overall scheme of it, yeah. [on recording a song with boyfriend Justin Timberlake for her third album] I have to say I was a little nervous at first. I'm used to producers going in there and it's like work. And, I go in and I work and I do my vocals and work. And, I thought that it was awkward at first because I was nervous recording with him doing my vocals, but then I just totally forgot that he was my boyfriend, and I just said "Britney, just do the vocals, don't be nervous, don't be retarded like this." But it ended up being fine, actually. At the very end, I got the best vocals I've ever done. I dress the way I want. I don't pretend to be someone I'm not. I love Jessica Simpson . I love her voice. She's amazing. I have her CD, and I have [ Christina Aguilera 's] CD. I have all of their CDs. They're amazing. You know? I have a lot of respect for them. Anybody who can be in this business... the work is so overwhelming sometimes and anybody who can do that I have a lot of respect for. I find it so funny that people find me so interesting. And, I hate when they're like "Define your image." I don't know what my image is. I just do my thing. [at a German chocolate museum, January 18, 2002] Chocolate for me is just like an orgasm. Acting is so much fun. It is a different ball game and I want to concentrate on that at the moment. I'm really passionate about what I do. I love entertainment and telling stories to people and I am very lucky that I am doing what I want to do. [on her visit to the Playboy mansion] All I remember is seeing a bunch of naked girls and thinking, "I got to get out of here.". My views on virginity have not changed. I want to wait to have sex until I'm married. I do. I want to wait, but it's hard. I just want to live my life. I guess it's because I do have a younger audience that, you know, parents worry about the role model thing. But when I was younger, I looked up to people, but I never wanted to be them. I always had my own identity. I'm an entertainer when I'm on stage, and they need to explain that to their kids. That's not my job to do that. There are so many teenagers out there that dress more provocatively than I do, and no one says anything about them. How can I explain this? I don't see myself -- hand on the Bible -- I know I'm not ugly, but I don't see myself as a sex symbol or this goddess-attractive beautiful person at all. When I'm on stage, that's my time to do my thing and go there and be that, and it's fun. It's exhilarating just to be something that you're not. And, people tend to believe it. I guess I just pull it off very well. Who really cares if I've had sex? It's nobody's business. Trust me, I'm not going to have a press conference to announce it. If I mess up, I'm human. If I have a drink or I'm with someone, I'm human. I'm no different than anyone else my age. Selling 5 million records is still good. I don't want to get jaded thinking I have to sell 10 million every time. It's not about that. When I'm under stress, I do yoga. It's when I'm happiest that I have a problem with junk food. I suck at flirting. There's one thing I don't understand about Hollywood. How they have a relationship, end it, and go right into the next. It's hard for a woman in this industry. Either the guy's going to be really intimidated, or they're going to kiss your ass. I'm just a girl wanting a guy to love me. I feel like a totally different person than I was two years ago. I feel like so much of my innocence is gone. I'm still me, but this business makes you grow up so fast. Would you go into a CD store and steal a CD? It's the same thing, people going into the computers and loggin' on and stealing our music. [on her breakup with boyfriend Justin Timberlake ] The most painful thing I have ever experienced was that breakup. We were together so long and I had this vision. You think you're going to spend the rest of your life together. Where I come from, the woman is the homemaker, and that's how I was brought up -- you cook for your kids. If I was to pick a cartoon character I am most like, I would say Daisy Duck, because she is very stubborn, she has a very feminine sense and she knows what she likes. As an artist, I would probably go on stage and bump and grind with a dancer. In real life, never. When I look into a mirror, I am very critical of myself. I see a goofy girl. Tony Blair ? I've never heard of him either. Who is he? I can't sing the same kind of thing all the time. That would bore me. I don't listen to anybody. Nobody can tell me anything. I'm stubborn. If somebody tells me not to do something, I do it. But I do listen to Madonna . For some reason I listen to her. I know that sounds really silly. It's nice to have somebody just to ask questions to. She's a visual artist and a deep artist as well. I like the way she thinks. I wish I could be inside her head. I like Madonna's career, and what she's done with her family. I've got an amazing group of people around me and my family at home. If I don't make my bed and wash the dishes at home, I'm in trouble. I'm not the type of person that can be cooped up in the hotel room being served all the time. I can't deal with that. I've got to do normal things. Performing is what I like most. I find the studio very confining. You can do a lot in there, and you get the opportunity to try again and again. But on stage you have the adrenalin going and you've got one shot and the energy is so intense. It feels like I've been dreaming this forever and then it happens and it feels like a whirlwind. I'm constantly traveling and I miss my friends. [ Justin Timberlake ] was my first kiss. We were playing "Truth or Dare" and listening to Janet Jackson . I was 12. His friend dared him to kiss me, so that was my first kiss. Bottom line: If you love yourself, it will all work out. This is my dream come true. I can't believe this is happening right now. I can't believe I even have a movie. I feel very blessed to be where I am right now. [on being photographed without panties] Anyway, thank God for Victoria's Secret's new underwear line! [on why she has yet to tour Australia] I really love Australia, great place, but it's just so far away to go to for a concert, and that makes it hard - but I'll definitely take a course there for a tour next time. I'd really love to. [regarding the policies of President George W. Bush regarding the invasion of Iraq] I think we should just trust our president in every decision that he makes and we should just support that. I've never really wanted to go to Japan. Simply because I don't like eating fish. And I know that's very popular out there in Africa. [on receiving a Star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame] I'm seriously speechless right now. This is something that I've dreamed about since I was a little girl. I can't believe I'm actually here with all of you amazing fans. Hello? How do I keep slim? Having two boys definitely helps, and I love to dance. It's the best way to stay in shape. I love treating myself to a spa day. Massages are my favorite. Sometimes, I keep it simple and don't wear much make-up - just a little mascara and lip gloss. Other times, I'll play around and do heavier make-up or some fun lipstick. I love, love, love Madonna ! She's one of my inspirations. I'm really just a boring homebody who loves staying home with my kids and that's where I'm the happiest. I'm at such a different point in my life now than I was back then. You have to think about all your decisions so much more carefully, because they are affecting your kids too. My priorities have changed, and I do everything for [the boys]. They remind me what life is really all about. [on her children]: They are my biggest fans. I make up songs and sing to them all the time, they like to watch me dance. In fact, they join in and do their own moves! I couldn't go on tour without them! I'm always very busy when I'm on the road, but I make sure to have quality time with them every single day. I love Adele . Her voice is just an amazing soulful sound. Her voice stays with you. I love Robyn Carlsson , her "Body Talk" album is different and interesting. I believe that all women can create their own world where they shine the brightest. It's all about having the power and confidence to be yourself. The good thing about being on tour is getting to go overseas to places like Canada. [on starting her career as a teenager] I was having fun then, but I would stay true to that, you know? I'm still pretty much the same person I was when I started this, but in the beginning, I think I was fearful. So I'd say, just try to embrace moments more. To have a good time with life and don't take it too seriously. My all time favorite outfit? Probably the school uniform. I think because it was my first video I ever did and the first experience with everything. That's in the Rock 'n' Roll Hall of Fame. (She wore the school uniform outfit in her song "Hit Me Baby One More Time"). [on her career after being in the music business for more than a decade] I don't really have anything to prove at this point. I just do it for fun and see what happens. [on turning 30 in 2011] I hear the older you get, the wiser you get and the more you know what you want. Hopefully it'll be a good year. It's the best feeling in the world when I'm on stage and I'm singing and the fans are singing the words with me. These parents, they think I'm a role model for their kids, that their kids look at me as some sort of idol. But it's the parents' job to make sure their kids don't turn out that shallow. That's not my responsibility. I'm not responsible for your kid. I've always been very comfortable being nude. I don't feel like I have anything to hide. My family, we walked around the house naked. By the time I was 13, my dad was like "Uh, Britney, it's time to start covering yourself up." I'm very free like that. [on the idea of retiring] I have thought about it. If I happen to have another baby or something like that, I'd probably move back to Louisiana. I do miss Louisiana. I miss the people. I miss the food. I miss the way of life, how everything is really simple. There's no traffic like there is in L.A. It's really nice... I think right now is my time to perform and do what I'm doing. Don't care too much 'bout what other people think. What really matters is your own point of view. I think you know when you've met the right person. [on her gay fans] I get inspiration from them on all my songs. They're somewhat girls, so it's inspiring to do stuff that they like to hear, like the cool "in" stuff. Whatever I do for each record is definitely inspired by them. A lot of my hairstylists and my beauty team that I work with are gay so I hang out with gays a lot and I just think they're adorable and hilarious. [Mother's Day thought to her children Jayden and Preston, 2016] God always comes to us in tiny whispers. I pray you always find his whisper and follow your inner voice as well.

What is the name of the BBC science and philosophy documentary series that has produced more than 1000 episodes since it began in 1964?	Britney Spears' '…Baby One More Time' Anniversary: 15 Little-Known Facts \| Billboard Britney Spears' '…Baby One More Time' Anniversary: 15 Little-Known Facts COMMENTS A still from Britney Spears' video "Baby One More Time" To commemorate Brit's debut single turning 15, here are a few things you might not know about the song's recording, music video and chart history. Monday (Sept. 30) marks the 15th anniversary of the release of Britney Spears' debut single, "…Baby One More Time," and oh baby, baby, what a decade-and-a-half it's been. Although the lead single from Spears' first album of the same name was simply the beginning of Spears' iconic career and remarkable run of smash hits, the song remains a defining moment in the teenybopper boom within mainstream music of the late 90s. Every pop fan knows the words to "…Baby One More Time" and has seen the high school-set music video, but how many Britney diehards know which group could have made "…Baby" their own hit, or who played Spears' love interest in the music video, or which song Britney's first No. 1 replaced at the top of the Hot 100 in early 1999? To celebrate "…Baby One More Time" turning 15 years old, check out this list of little-known facts relating to the first of Britney Spears' many, many hits. 1. Britney Spears signed a Jive deal thanks to a Whitney Houston song. In this Billboard interview with Spears from 1998 , Spears described being "so nervous" when she was invited to Jive Records to audition. "It's easy to sing in front of a thousand people, because you can't see their faces," said the former "Mickey Mouse Club" star. "But then you got into a room, and there are 10 people staring at you." Spears performed Whitney Houston's challenging classic "I Have Nothing," blew everyone away, and signed to Jive on the spot. "…Baby One More Time" was soon to follow. 2. "…Baby One More Time" was originally offered to TLC, but the R&B trio turned it down. Hey, these things happen -- after all, Spears turned down "Umbrella" years later, and it eventually became a smash for Rihanna. The 10 Best Things About Britney's New Single 'Work Bitch' 3. Britney knew "…Baby One More Time" was going to be a hit. "I had been in the studio for about six months listening to and recording material, but I hadn't really heard a hit yet," said a 16-year-old Spears. "When I started working with Max Martin in Sweden, he played the demo for 'Baby One More Time' for me, and I knew from the start it was one of those songs you want to hear again and again. It just felt really right." 4. Max Martin worked on Britney's "…Baby One More Time" album more than originally intended. The Swedish producer-songwriter was set to work on two songs for Spears' debut album, but ended up submitting eight -- three of which, including singles "…Baby One More Time" and "(You Drive Me) Crazy," made the final track list. "In 10 days, I never even saw Sweden," says Spears. "We were so busy." 5. Britney Spears sings the word "baby" 25 times in the song. In case you were wondering. 6. In the music video for "…Baby One More Time," Britney's cousin Chad Spears portrays her love interest. Chad was an Abercrombie & Fitch model at the time, but still, they couldn't have found another model that, you know, wasn't related to Spears? Ah, well. 7. The "…Baby One More Time" director, Nigel Dick, later helmed the "2gether" movie for MTV in 2000. The veteran music video director also scored some writing credits on the fictional boy band's self-titled debut album, released the same year. 8. The "…Baby One More Time" music video was shot at the same school used in "Grease." Venice High School in Los Angeles is the setting for iconic musical numbers from two distinct generations. 9. Britney stuck with "…Baby One More Time" -- and N SYNC! -- for her first MTV Video Music Awards performance. Prior to Spears' flesh-colored "Oops!… I Did It Again" get-up, the "I'm A Slave 4 U" snake, the Madonna lip-lock or the questionable "Gimme More" dance, Spears made her VMAs debut in 1999 with a relatively tame performance of "…Baby One More Time," alongside Justin Timberlake and the rest of N SYNC. Before her …Baby One More Time debut headlining tour kicked off in 1999, Spears had served as an opening act for the boy band on the road. 10. "…Baby One More Time" lost to a Sarah McLachlan song at the Grammys. Long before Esperanza Spalding angered Beliebers at the Grammy Awards, the Canadian singer-songwriter's live version of "I Will Remember You" trumped Spears' debut single in the Best Female Pop Vocal Performance category. Also nominated? Christina Aguilera's debut radio hit, "Genie in a Bottle." 11. "…Baby One More Time" is still Britney's biggest Hot 100 hit. The song spent 32 weeks on the tally, and is her longest-charting single. After debuting at No. 17 on the Hot 100 chart dated Nov. 21, 1998, the song hit No. 1 in its 11th week, in January 1999. 12. "…Baby One More Time" bumped Brandy's "Have You Ever?" out of the top spot on the Hot 100. Oddly enough, after "…Baby" spent two weeks at No. 1, the song moved down when Brandy's "The Boy Is Mine" partner, Monica, hit No. 1 with "Angel of Mine." Exclusive: Britney Spears Shares Still From 'Work Bitch' Video 13. The "…Baby One More Time" video was named "Total Request Live's" most iconic video ever. In the MTV video countdown show's final episode in November 2008, "TRL" named Spears' first music video as the most legendary clip to grace their 10-year run. The rest of the Top 5: Eminem's "The Real Slim Shady," Backstreet Boys' "I Want It That Way," *N SYNC's "Bye Bye Bye," and Aguilera's "Dirrty." 14. Fountains of Wayne released an awesome "…Baby One More Time" cover in 2005. There have been scores of different takes on Britney's debut single in a variety of genres, but power-pop group Fountains of Wayne's cover , included on their compilation album "Out-of-State Plates," has remained the most memorable. 15. Britney shouted out her "…Baby One More Time" video in the 2009 "If You Seek Amy" clip. Watch the end of the video, and check out the outfit that Britney's "daughter" is sporting. Fifteen years later, those pink ribbons cannot be forgotten.	i don't know
What was Hephaestus the Greek God of?	Hephaestus Hephaestus See More Hephaestus Pictures > Hephaestus was the Greek god of blacksmiths, sculptors, metallurgy, fire and volcanoes; thus, he is symbolised with a hammer, an anvil and a pair of tongs. According to Homer's epics, the Iliad and the Odyssey, he was the son of Zeus and Hera . However, Hesiod informs us that Hera bore Hephaestus alone. According to an account, after Hephaestus was born, Hera threw him from Olympus because he was crippled; he fell into the ocean and was raised by Thetis and Eurynome . Another myth has it that he once tried to protect his mother from Zeus ' advances and as a result, the father of the Gods flung him down from Olympus, which caused his physical disability; he fell on the island of Lemnos where he became a master craftsman. He was later accepted back to Olympus, and became the craftsman of the gods, creating majestic armors, shields and weapons. He was married to Aphrodite ; after he learned his wife had an affair with her brother, Ares , he devised a plan with which he humiliated both lovers to the other gods .

Prior to his death in 1976 what was John Wayne's last film?	John Wayne: one last shot before the final farewell - Telegraph Classic Movies John Wayne: one last shot before the final farewell In 1976, battling the cancer that would kill him, John Wayne stepped in front of the camera for one final face-off. The result was 'The Shootist’, a rich and elegiac western and, says Philip Horne, a fitting swansong for Hollywood’s most courageous gunslinger. Image 1 of 2 His last stand: John Wayne in a scene from 'The Shootist' (1976), made when he was terminally ill with cancer. John Wayne in The Shootist Photo: PARAMOUNT/ALLSTAR By Philip Horne 5:51PM BST 20 Sep 2010 During the making of The Shootist (1976), Don Siegel’s rich, elegiac western about an ageing gunfighter dying of “a cancer”, its star John Wayne became too ill to film. The actor had had a lung removed twelve years earlier and was now struggling with the stomach cancer that would eventually lead to his death in 1979. A few days later, when Wayne bravely returned to the set, he picked a quarrel with the director, who had carried on filming a gunfight scene in his absence, over the way his character was shown killing a villain. He forced Siegel to redo the scene, declaring: “Whatever the cause, I would never shoot anyone in the back. It’s unthinkable for my image… I spent many years in this business building up my image.” He certainly did – but he wasn’t the only one. The 6ft 4in Marion Morrison was a former USC American football player with a few bit parts to his rather girlie name, when he was spotted carrying an armchair across the Fox Studios lot by legendary director Raoul Walsh (one-eyed, but sharp-eyed). Walsh cast him in The Big Trail (1930) – a western, the genre Wayne would above all be associated with – and renamed him after Revolutionary War general “Mad Anthony Wayne”. But it was director John Ford who turned Wayne into an all-time star, by casting him as the Ringo Kid, in Stagecoach (1939), which is perhaps the definitive western (though based on a Maupassant novel). Wayne’s character makes his first appearance standing on the trail, firing into the air to stop the stagecoach and, as the camera whips in to a breathless close-up, he announces that: “You might need me and this Winchester, Curly!” In his dark placket-front shirt, light army-style braces, bandana and broad white hat, Ringo is a dazzling vision of male beauty and heroism. Wayne was already 32, with 78 films behind him – but the freshness of this “Kid” is unforgettable. Related Articles John Wayne's eye patch up for auction 28 Sep 2011 The Shootist opens with a montage of its hero’s past exploits – taken from Red River (Howard Hawks, 1948), Hondo (John Farrow, 1953), Rio Bravo and El Dorado (Hawks, 1959 and 1966). It’s clear this is a summation of Wayne’s career as well as that of his character in The Shootist, JB Books. Younger film-watchers may not be so aware of the Wayne legend, or of his films – it was against the heroic Wayne, in a sense, that the spaghetti westerns of Sergio Leone (and then Eastwood) were angled; so too were the Seventies anti-westerns of Peckinpah. Wayne’s fame is probably not dissociable, in fact, from the Cold War era – from anxieties about communism (his quite reactionary politics could be ugly) and gender (it’s often clear that his characters, men’s men, are ill at ease with women). But no one who sees a good John Wayne film (and there are many) will forget his complex, dignified presence. He was large, physically powerful, with a rolling gait, increasingly craggy as time went on – but always a careful watcher of others and a man of few words. He had indomitable courage and a basically decent heart, though also a quick temper and a capacity for black, violent rages. The great Wayne films directed by John Ford don’t figure in The Shootist montage – they’re too distinctive and different in tone. It was Hawks (at least according to Hawks) who discovered that Wayne could actually act, making him the ruthless Thomas Dunson of Red River – and in that auteur’s view: “If you try to make a western with somebody besides Wayne, you’re not in the sphere of violence and action that you are when you’ve got Wayne.” It was after this that Ford again used him for westerns – starting with the Cavalry trilogy of Fort Apache (1948), She Wore a Yellow Ribbon (1949) and Rio Grande (1950), in which he plays respectively youngish, oldish and indeterminately middle-aged characters in three films within a period of two and a half years. Wayne had already turned 40 and the elegiac is the keynote of these films. By the Fifties the western was being reshaped and challenged by new, noirish approaches. Although James Stewart (directed by Anthony Mann) and Randolph Scott (directed by Budd Boetticher) were perhaps the pioneers in the reinvention, Wayne played his part in it, too. Indeed, he is magnificent as scary, obsessed, conflicted, heroic loner Ethan Edwards, “a man that can go crazy wild”, in Ford’s masterpiece, The Searchers (1956), which was an inspiration for Scorsese’s Taxi Driver (1976). Without his seniors, Ford or Hawks directing him, though, Wayne could be lazy or wayward and autocratic. In his 1993 autobiography, A Siegel Film, Siegel is amusingly vivid about Wayne’s “difficult” behaviour. In the Sixties and Seventies, a grumpy Wayne complained that in the old westerns antagonists despatched each other by the gun – while in the new ones they preferred to talk each other to death. But as the American critic Andrew Sarris points out, the (highly patriotic) films Wayne himself directed, The Alamo (1960) and The Green Berets (1968) are themselves very talky. Good directors – like Ford, Hawks and Siegel – knew how to pare down Wayne’s dialogue and make use of his surprising subtlety. Hawks said that on Rio Bravo, where Dean Martin is his wrecked, drunken deputy, Wayne wasn’t at first sure how to play their scenes. The director’s tip: “He’s your best friend, watch him. See whether he is coming through.” And Wayne replied: “OK, that’s enough for me.” It obviously was. Toward the end of his career, Wayne often played parts trading self-consciously on his star image – and sometimes, in True Grit (1969), for which he won his Oscar, and The Cowboys (1972), for example, the films are seriously rewarding entertainment. The Shootist, based on a novel by Glendon Swarthout, is the culmination of this reflective, retrospective tendency. It was known that it might be Wayne’s last film, so there’s a remarkable supporting cast – above all James Stewart in a fine cameo as the Carson City doctor (Wayne and Stewart had co-starred in Ford’s The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance (1962)), but also Lauren Bacall and the young Ron Howard (who would go on to direct Apollo 13 and Frost/Nixon) – as well as the great western veteran Richard Boone. The movie is set in January 1901 – Queen Victoria has just died – and in Carson City, Nevada, which has telephones, trams and motor cars, and is planning on introducing metalled roads, gas lamps and electricity. It is the whole 20th-century package. However, Wayne’s character, the abrasive JB Books, almost sole survivor of the violent Old West, does not belong in this tame, commercialised new world – about which the film is pretty ambivalent. A succession of venal characters try to exploit the nationwide fame of Books – by interviewing, marrying, burying, or stealing souvenirs from him – while quite a few others want to kill him. The nasty little sheriff wants to drive him out of town. But while the film is tinged with bitter ironies, the touching drama of his relations with his landlady (Bacall) and her restless son (Howard), who idolises Books, plus our certainty that a John Wayne movie is not going to end with its hero dying of cancer, make it an involving, exciting experience. The Shootist is a fitting memorial to a great star – and leaves his image indelibly fixed on our imagination.

Which famous Indian became known as Rebecca Rolfe and died in Gravesend in Kent?	John Wayne / Legacy / Biography MARION MORRISON WAS BORN IN IOWA IN 1907, came West with his family in 1914, and pretty soon was being called “Duke” by everyone who knew him, after some local firefighters in Glendale, California, where the family eventually settled, thought it would be fun to give the boy the same nickname as his constant companion, a proud Airedale dog named Duke. Living with his parents, Clyde “Doc” Morrison, a pharmacist, and Mary “Molly” Brown, and alongside his brother Robert, Duke was academically and athletically quite successful at Glendale High School. His exploits there led to a football scholarship at the University of Southern California (USC), where he attended until a bodysurfing injury ended his football dreams, and led him to look for work at local movie studios to support himself once the Great Depression was in full swing. Duke eventually found a job at the Fox Film Corporation as a member of what they called a swing gang, meaning he was a prop man, moving furniture, material, and equipment around for filmmakers. A few of them felt he was the right build to stand in a few scenes here and there as an extra, starting naturally as a football player in “Brown of Harvard” in 1926 and again in “Drop Kick” in 1927. It wasn’t long before one of Hollywood’s great directors, John Ford, noticed Morrison and gave him a job herding geese on a 1928 film called “Mother Machree.” Eventually, the two of them hit it off and became lifelong friends. But at the time, Morrison tried to learn about filmmaking from Ford, and Ford kept using Morrison as an extra. Eventually, Ford introduced Duke to his colleague, director Raoul Walsh, who gave Morrison his first starring role, as the cowboy Breck Coleman in the 1930 film, “The Big Trail.” During this production, studio executives gave Morrison a new name in the hopes of making him an easier sell to film audiences, and he readily accepted the moniker “John Wayne,” saying it was OK with him if the people paying his salary wanted to spruce up his name. Throughout the 1930’s, John Wayne diligently and strategically honed his craft while starring in a series of less well-known Westerns features and serials, preferring to spend most of his time with stuntmen and real-life cowboys so that they could teach him the skills necessary to play a realistic cowboy on screen. He developed over this period his signature walk, a fist-fighting style, wardrobe preferences, and performed many of his own stunts. Then, in 1939, John Ford gave him his big break as the Ringo Kid in the classic film, “Stagecoach.” Wayne’s performance made him a star for good, and earned Ford an Academy Award nomination for Best Director. The 1940’s and ‘50’s saw John Wayne develop into an important figure on the American landscape with a series of starring roles in major Westerns and War pictures. He also toured the world and entertained troops tirelessly for the USO, all while raising a growing family that, by this time, included son Michael, daughter Toni, son Patrick, and daughter Melinda. As the 1960’s and ‘70’s arrived, he added romantic comedies, police dramas, and historical dramas to his portfolio, earned three Academy Award nominations, and finally won the big award in 1969 for his performance as Rooster Cogburn in “True Grit.” His final on-screen performance, as a gunman struck with cancer in 1976’s “The Shootist” is considered among his greatest performances. Along the way, he survived a 1964 bout with lung cancer that saw him lose a lung and several ribs, and a couple of divorces before remarrying and having three more children—Marisa, Aissa, and Ethan. Later in life, he increasingly spoke out on national issues, and played a central role in helping to get the United States Senate to ratify the Panama Canal Treaties in 1977, shortly before his death. No doubt, he would have kept going if he hadn’t been struck down with stomach cancer in 1979, finally succumbing to the disease that year at the age of 72. Posthumously, John Wayne was awarded the Congressional Gold Medal and the Presidential Medal of Freedom. But perhaps John Wayne’s greatest legacy was his dying wish, which was that his family and supporters use his name and likeness to help the doctors fight cancer—a wish that led to the creation of the John Wayne Cancer Foundation (JWCF) in 1985. Over the years, JWCF has supported research by funding the creation of the Cancer Institute that bears his name, education programs, awareness programs, and support groups. © John Wayne Enterprises, LLC.

Although each episode was made on a small budget when compared to the Hollywood "A" features of today, all of the production values of great classic movies of the golden age -- painterly composition and design, emotionally effective acting, lyrical music, suspenseful storytelling, beautiful timing, strong dramatic dialogue, elegantly choreographed action, powerful themes, colorful period costumes, folksy comic relief -- all of these values were at a consistently high level from show to show, with never an awkward effect or a misfit scene. Each of the featured characters was drawn in a unique and stylish way, suggesting the storybook characterization that distinguishes the best of the Hollywood golden age. Every one of the episodes stands well as a feature length movie in its own right and would look as good on the big screen as on TV. There's plenty of feeling, no padding or softness, and no mindless experimentation with technique or vulgarity such as has ruined so many westerns made since 1970. It's difficult to understand why an approach which succeeded for so long was abandoned in the 1970's by both television and feature film makers. Many producers turned instead in the direction indicated by spaghetti westerns. Compared to classic westerns like "Bonanza," spaghetti westerns were much less lyrical and took more of a gutter eye view of the old west, stripping it of its romantic appeal and substituting what to a misguided new generation seemed a dirtier and therefore more authentic realism. In retrospect, Hollywood gave up way too much for the little that it got in return. The success of a vast body of works similar in appeal to "Bonanza" (including many of the other action adventure TV serials made from the '40s to the '60s) is proof that there is a widespread taste that is radically different from the one which has predominated in Hollywood since the '70s. Let's hope that one day we'll see the return of Bonanza's classic values to the screen. 43 of 51 people found this review helpful. Was this review helpful to you? Yes	Ponderosa
Which Indian tribe did Sitting Bull belong to?	Ponderosa Ranch "Bonanza" was the most popular western televison series in America. Little wonder its popularity should spill over into 86 foreign countries and be translated into 12 different languages. The Cartwrights - father Ben, and sons Adam, Hoss and Little Joe - typified the Great American West. They were the "good guys" who always won out over the bad guys so that right and justice prevailed. The Ponderosa Ranch, Nevada and beautiful Lake Tahoe were idelibly imprinted in the minds of Bonanza faithful when they were pin-pointed at the start of each episode by the famous burning map . In a short time, visitors to Nevada began making trips to Lake Tahoe just to see the famous "Ponderosa Ranch" which at the time existed only in televison scripts. In the summer of 1959 a National Broadcasting Company (NBC) television crew arrived on location on the north shore of Lake Tahoe to start filming a new western series, "Bonanza". "Bonanza" made its debut, with a "pilot" segment ("A Rose for Lotta") on September 12th of that year. It introduced to the vast television audience the "Cartwright" family: Father Ben, eldest son Adam, middle son - and a gentle giant of a man - Hoss, and the youngest son Little Joe. How the Ponderosa Ranch became real "Bonanza" had been on the air for almost four years when Bill and Joyce Anderson arrived on the scene at Incline Village, Nevada. Bill's principal occupation at the time was to supply a large development company on the north shore of Lake Tahoe with equipment necessary to carry out their operation. As a sideline, the Andersons opened a riding stable to work in conjunction with the development company's plan to give visitors to the Lake Tahoe area varied recreational outlets. Anderson also stabled the horses being used in the Bonanza filmings. A "collector of things" all his life, Anderson brought in some wagons and early west artifacts that he displayed around the stable area. "Well," he admits, "it wasn't very succesful. The tourists were coming, all right, but nog to ride. All of them wanted to see the Ponderosa Ranch that was "burned off" the screen at the start of each show. Most of the tourists were adamant in their belief that "this is the spot." All Anderson could think of then was "this has got to be the biggest piece of business chemistry I ever heard of." That's when he determined that he'd build the Ponderosa Ranch so that the thousands upon thousands of Bonanza fans who were coming to Lake Tahoe would not be "disappointed." It took some doing, but, in his own words "a gutsy sort of a guy," he finally got the officials of NBC and the principals of "Bonanza" to join in a venture to build the Ponderosa Ranch. Shortly after, an ambitious construction program got off the ground with the result that in the summer of 1967 the gates of "The World's Most Famous Ranch" swung open to the public. Anderson's predection that "people will come from all over the world to see it" proved more than accurate when more than a quarter-million visitors - many of them from foreign countries - poured through the gates. "It overwhelmed us," Anderson recalls, "but we did what had to be done..... we took care of them." Virginia City and the Ponderosa Ranch "Bonanza"'s signature opening showed a map of the Ponderosa in relation to Lake Tahoe and Virginia City, Nevada. As the theme music swelled, the map went up in flames, starting in the middle and burning outward. If you judge by that map, Virginia City is just down the trail a piece from the Cartwright ranch house. In fact, on many episodes the boys would meander into town for supplies, have lunch and a couple of beers, maybe get into a fistfight and be home well before dark. Actually, Virginia City is a 45-minute car drive from the Ponderosa Ranch. It the fictional Cartwrights had really saddled up and ridden to Virginia City as the crow flies, it would have taken them "problably all day" to get there, says Ponderosa Ranch president David Geddes. "You'd have to ride over the ridge behind the ranch house, down into the Washoe Valley, up over the next ridge and down into another valley." Not Virginia City, but Incline Village is near the Ponderosa Ranch of the Cartwright's A Rip Roarin' Western Experience How do you improve upon a success story such as the Ponderosa Ranch? Well, if you're the owners, Bill and Joyce Anderson, you continue to do what you have been doing... only better. Their philosophy, when the Ranch opened its gates back in 1967, was to see that every visitor always "got its money's worth." That is still their first priority. And one of the ways they have managed this over the years is to continue to develop the Ranch in keeping with the legend of the Cartwrights, BONANZA, and the portrayal of the Ponderosa Ranch as the early Western American way of life. Nowadays there are a variety of activities at the Ponderosa Ranch that, collectively, have made it one of the most popular attractions in the West. One project being considered for the immediate future is the reconstruction of the "Great Incline Tramway". It's a little publicised fact, but the original village of Incline was situated right on the land where the Ponderosa Ranch has been developed. It derived its name "Incline" from a 4000-foot long, 1400-foot vertical rise alpine funicular double track, narrow gauge railway that ran straight up the mountain from the exact area where the Ponderosa Ranch parking lot is now located. The railroad was used to transport logs from the lush Tahoe forests to the top of the mountain, there "flumed" to Washoe Valley on the other side, and thence on to the Comstock where they ended up in the maze of mines honeycombing the Virginia City hills. Reconstruction of the railroad was one of the first things to be done at the Ranch when the Andersons and NBC joined forces. The death of Dan Blocker (Hoss) in 1972 however, caused the whole project to be shelved for consideration at some time in the future. Bill Anderson says that time is "now." And there's more to do on the Ponderosa Ranch...	i don't know
What started at Fort Sumter in April 1861?	Fort Sumter fired upon - Apr 12, 1861 - HISTORY.com Fort Sumter fired upon Publisher A+E Networks The American Civil War begins when Confederates fire on Fort Sumter in Charleston Harbor in South Carolina. The fort had been the source of tension between the Union and Confederacy for several months. After South Carolina seceded on December 20, 1860, the state demanded the fort be turned over but Union officials refused. A supply ship, the “Star of the West,” tried to reach Fort Sumter on January 9, but the shore batteries opened fire and drove it away. For both sides, Sumter was a symbol of sovereignty. The Union could not allow it to fall to the Confederates, although throughout the Deep South other federal installations had been seized. For South Carolinians, secession meant little if the Yankees still held the stronghold. The issue hung in the air when Abraham Lincoln took the oath of office on March 4, stating in his inauguration address: “You can have no conflict without being yourselves the aggressors.” Lincoln did not try to send reinforcements but he did send in food. This way, Lincoln could characterize the operation as a humanitarian mission, bringing, in his words, “food for hungry men.” He sent word to the Confederates in Charleston of his intentions on April 6. The Confederate Congress at Montgomery, Alabama, had decided on February 15 that Sumter and other forts must be acquired “either by negotiation or force.” Negotiation, it seemed, had failed. The Confederates demanded surrender of the fort, but Major Robert Anderson, commander of Fort Sumter, refused. At 4:30 a.m. on April 12, the Confederate guns opened fire. For thirty-three hours, the shore batteries lobbed 4,000 shells in the direction of the fort. Finally, the garrison inside the battered fort raised the white flag. No one on either side had been killed, although two Union soldiers died when the departing soldiers fired a gun salute, and some cartridges exploded prematurely. It was a nearly bloodless beginning to America’s bloodiest war. Related Videos	American Civil War

For three of the men, it was their second trip of the day to the pentagonal-shaped building defiantly flying the Stars and Stripes above its ramparts. A Warning to Major Anderson Although the four men headed toward Sumter were self-professed gentlemen—three from Charleston high society, the fourth an aristocratic Virginian—this was no social call. They were there as emissaries of the newly fledged Confederate States of America, born the previous December inside the Carolina Institute Hall in Charleston, where the Ordinance of Secession had been signed and the Palmetto State had become the first star on the Confederacy’s new national flag. The men in the rowboat were flying a different flag at the moment, the white flag of truce. But if their visit was intended to be peaceable, their message most definitely was not. James Chesnut, Jr., Stephen D. Lee, Alexander R. Chisolm, and Roger A. Pryor clambered ashore at Fort Sumter that night to tell the base commander, Major Robert Anderson, that he had but one hour to surrender the fort and evacuate himself and his undersized garrison of 82 men—or else. Get to know the stories behind the statistics... Get your copy of Warfare History Network’s FREE Special Report, The Battle of Gettysburg The Kentucky-born Anderson was in an unenviable and unprecedented situation. No state had ever seceded from the Union before; whether it was even legally possible for one to do so was a constitutional question beyond Anderson’s experience or expertise. He had arrived in Charleston the previous November, not long after the election of Abraham Lincoln as the 16th president of the United States had brought Charlestonians pouring into the streets to celebrate the much-hated Lincoln’s election—not out of joy for the “black Republican’s” victory, but because it seemed beyond doubt to presage the end of the Union. Fort Sumter’s Shortcomings and Lack of Supply Fort Sumter itself was designed to house a garrison of about 650 men and 135 cannons that were strategically placed in a three tier-style of arrangement circling the fort. The structure was 170 to 190 feet in length, and was 50 feet in height; its walls were five feet thick. The primary purpose of the installation was to strengthen the defenses along the southern coast of the United States. The construction started in 1827 but was still not finished in December 1860. Even worse, approximately half of the guns had not been delivered because of Buchanan’s downsizing of the military during his time in office. “Few guns were mounted, and these were chiefly on the lowest tier,” noted Sergeant James Chester of Company E, 1st U.S. Artillery. Chester complained that the openings cut into the walls of Sumter for the guns had not been completed on the second tier, so that only the first and third tiers could be used. Union soldiers worked diligently to build up areas of the bastion that sorely needed it. Some continued to demonstrate a positive attitude, believing that they were a match for their adversaries. Chester, however, was a realist. He understood that the enemy had “unlimited labor and material” and that the occupants of Fort Sumter were handicapped by having access only to materials that had been stockpiled from years past. Despite the shortcomings, Anderson was ordered “to hold possession of the forts in this harbor, and if attacked you are to defend yourself to the last extremity.” Anderson did what he could. He told yet another South Carolina emissary, Colonel J. Johnston Pettigrew of the state militia, that although his (Anderson’s) sympathies were “entirely with the South,” he was sworn to do his duty as a United States officer and “cannot and will not go back.” He called his men to the parade ground, had the chaplain offer a prayer, and instructed the band to play “Hail Columbia.” The die was cast. Jefferson Davis: “Reduce the Fort” On January 11, the State of South Carolina called for the immediate surrender of Fort Sumter. Stalling for time, Anderson responded that he did not possess the authority to hand over the fort to anyone. The following day, South Carolina Governor Francis Pickens dispatched the state’s attorney general, I.W. Hayne, to deliver a message to President Buchanan that read in part, “The demand I have made of Major Anderson, and which I now make of you, is suggested because of my earnest desire to avoid the bloodshed which a persistence in your attempt to retain the possession of that fort will cause; and which will be unavailing to secure you that possession, but induce a calamity most deeply to be deplored.” The Buchanan administration refused to budge. Pickens dispatched a party, led by the state’s attorney general, Andrew Gordon Magrath, to discuss surrender terms with Anderson. Although they tried to “persuade and alarm him,” their efforts were in vain. Anderson informed them that before he would turn Fort Sumter over to them, he would “fire the magazine and blow fort and garrison into the air.” Lines were hardening into cement on both sides. Throughout February, demands for Sumter’s capitulation continued to be sent to Anderson, who promptly denied them. Events continued apace. On February 18, Jefferson Davis resigned his seat in the Senate and was named president of the Confederate States of America. He tried to negotiate with the North by sending a peace commission, but that failed. On March 1, Davis appointed Brig. Gen. P.G.T. Beauregard commander of all Confederate troops in the Charleston area. On March 4, Abraham Lincoln was sworn in as president of the United States. In a pointed nod to the people of the South, the president declared, “You have no oath registered in Heaven to destroy the Government, while I have the most solemn one to ‘preserve, protect,’ and defend’ it.” Lincoln said that violence and bloodshed would not be his policy unless forced on him by the acts of others. On that same day, he received a letter from Anderson saying that he had enough supplies to last approximately four to six weeks. After much haggling with his cabinet, especially from Secretary of State William E. Seward, who had been telling the Confederate delegates that the fort would soon be evacuated, Lincoln decided that he would make another attempt to reinforce Fort Sumter. Little did Anderson know, but Lincoln’s telegram informing him of a resupply mission had been intercepted by the Confederates. Fearing the additional firepower from the man o’ wars in Charleston harbor, Jefferson Davis told Beauregard to “reduce the fort.” Ironically, Beauregard would order his artillerymen to begin the bombardment on Fort Sumter early the next morning against his former artillery instructor at West Point.

Known as "The Singing Cowboy" who had his biggest hit record with the original recording of "Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer"?	Rudolph The Red-Nosed Reindeer by Gene Autry Songfacts Rudolph The Red-Nosed Reindeer by Gene Autry Songfacts Songfacts The story of Rudolph The Red-Nosed Reindeer was written in 1939 by Robert L. May, a copywriter for the Chicago-based Montgomery Ward department stores, as a promotional gift for the store's customers. The stores had bought and distributed coloring books every Christmas and saw writing their own story as a way to save money. Montgomery Ward distributed 2.4 million copies of the Rudolph booklet in 1939. A total of 6 million copies had been given out by the end of 1946, even though wartime paper shortages restricted printing. The story reflects May's own childhood difficulties as the smallest boy in his class. He was taunted for being a frail, scrawny misfit. The reindeer was almost named Rollo or Reginald. May considered both these named before settling on Rudolph. Rudolph's story was made into a song when May's brother-in-law, songwriter Johnny Marks, developed the lyrics and melody for it. Marks' musical version was first recorded by Gene Autry in 1949, selling 2 million copies that year. Autry didn't want anything to do with this song. It was his wife who talked him into recording it, and it went on to become the second biggest-selling Christmas song of all time, next to Bing Crosby's " White Christmas ." Crosby also recorded "Rudolph" and landed at #14 on the pop chart in 1950. >> Suggestion credit: Jeff - Boston, MA Autry was known as "The Singing Cowboy." He teamed up with Roy Rogers in the 1930s and '40s to make movies in a new genre called "Musical Westerns." Autry had his own TV show in the 1950s and was the owner of the California Angels baseball team, which later became the Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim. Autry, who died in 1998, is the only person with five stars on the Hollywood Walk of Fame, which he earned for motion pictures, radio, music recording, television, and live theater. This song was the basis for a children's TV Special made in 1964. It was narrated by Burl Ives, and became a Christmas classic. The Chipmunks did a version that was a hit in Christmastime, 1960, reaching #21 US. The same year, a version by The Melodeers went to #71 and Paul Anka's rendition made #104. Johnny Marks had the idea for the song jotted down in his songbook for 10 years before developing it. He spoke about the tune's legacy with interviewer Ian Whitcomb: "I thought it was going to be a hit, but a regular hit. I didn't think it was just going to go on forever." Marks also penned the Christmas classics " Holly Jolly Christmas " and " Rockin' Around The Christmas Tree ." Because Autry's reputation was that of a Western star, he didn't feel suited to sing a Christmas song. Marks, however, was determined to change Autry's mind (even though he'd never met him). He enlisted an unknown singer named Al Cernik to record a demo in the style of Autry and shipped it to the star in California. After a long wait - and some prodding from his wife - Autry agreed to record the tune. As for Al Cernik, he became Guy Mitchell, who had a #1 hit in 1956 with "Singing the Blues." The song earned Marks millions in royalties but by 1980, he was tired of being chained to Santa's sleigh. "This is not exactly what I hoped to be remembered for," he told People magazine of the enduring classic. "No matter what I write, they always say the same thing: 'It's just not 'Rudolph.'" The Temptations included this on their 1970 holiday album, The Temptations Christmas Card. The R&B-flavored cover landed on Billboard's Christmas Singles chart twice, at #16 in 1970 and #3 in 1971.

Aut... Orvon Grover Autry (September 29, 1907 – October 2, 1998), better known as Gene Autry, was an American performer who gained fame as a singing cowboy on the radio, in movies, and on television for more than three decades beginning in the early 1930s. Autry was also owner of a television station, several radio stations in Southern California, and the Los Angeles/California/Anaheim Angels Major League Baseball team from 1961 to 1997. From 1934 to 1953, Autry appeared in 93 films and 91 episodes of The Gene Autry Show television series. During the 1930s and 1940s, he personified the straight-shooting hero—honest, brave, and true—and profoundly touched the lives of millions of Americans. Autry was also one of the most important figures in the history of country music, considered the second major influential artist of the genre's development after Jimmie Rodgers. His singing cowboy movies were the first vehicle to carry country music to a national audience. In addition to his signature song, "Back in the Saddle Again", Autry is still remembered for his Christmas holiday songs, "Here Comes Santa Claus", which he wrote, "Frosty the Snowman", and his biggest hit, "Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer". Autry is a member of both the Country Music Hall of Fame and Nashville Songwriters Hall of Fame, and is the only person to be awarded stars in all five categories on the Hollywood Walk of Fame, for film, television, music, radio, and live performance. The town of Gene Autry, Oklahoma was named in his honor. Biography Early years Orvon Grover Autry was born September 29, 1907 near Tioga in Grayson County in north Texas, the grandson of a Methodist preacher. His parents, Delbert Autry and Elnora Ozment, moved in the 1920s to Ravia in Johnston County in southern Oklahoma. He worked on his father's ranch while at school. After leaving high school in 1925, Autry worked as a telegrapher for the St. Louis–San Francisco Railway. His talent at singing and playing guitar led to performing at local dances. Singing career While working as a telegrapher, Autry would sing and accompany himself on the guitar to pass the lonely hours, especially when he had the midnight shift. This later got him sacked. One night he was encouraged to sing professionally by a customer, the famous humorist Will Rogers, who had heard Autry singing. As soon as he could collect money to travel, he went to New York. He auditioned for Victor Records, at just about the time (end of 1928) it became RCA Victor. According to Nathaniel Shilkret, director of Light Music for Victor at the time, Autry asked to speak to Shilkret when Autry found that he had been turned down. Shilkret explained to Autry that he was turned down not because of his voice, but because Victor had just made contracts with two similar singers. Autry left with a letter of introduction from Shilkret and the advice to sing on radio to gain experience and to come back in a year or two. In 1928, Autry was singing on Tulsa's radio station KVOO as "Oklahoma's Yodeling Cowboy," and the Victor archives show an October 9, 1929, entry stating that the vocal duet of Jimmie Long and Gene Autry with two Hawaiian guitars, directed by L. L. Watson, recorded "My Dreaming of You" (Matrix 56761) and "My Alabama" (Matrix 56762). Autry signed a recording deal with Columbia Records in 1929. He worked in Chicago, Illinois, on the WLS-AM radio show National Barn Dance for four years, and with his own show, where he met singer-songwriter Smiley Burnette. In his early recording career, Autry covered various genres, including a labor song, "The Death of Mother Jones" in 1931. Autry also recorded many "hillbilly"-style records in 1930 and 1931 in New York City, which were certainly different in style and content from his later recordings. These were much closer in style to the Prairie Ramblers or Dick Justice, and included the "Do Right, Daddy Blues" and "Black Bottom Blues," both similar to "Deep Elem Blues." These late-Prohibition era songs deal with bootlegging, corrupt police, and women whose occupation was certainly vice. These recordings are generally not heard today but are available on European import labels, such as JSP Records. His first hit was in 1932 with "That Silver-Haired Daddy of Mine," a duet with fellow railroad man, Jimmy Long, and which Autry and Long co-wrote. Autry also sang the classic Ray Whitley hit "Back In The Saddle Again", as well as many Christmas holiday songs, including "Santa Claus Is Coming to Town," his own composition "Here Comes Santa Claus," "Frosty the Snowman," and his biggest hit, "Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer." He wrote "Here Comes Santa Claus" after being the Grand Marshall of the 1946 Santa Claus Lane Parade (Now the Hollywood Christmas Parade). He heard all of the spectators watching the parade saying "Here comes Santa Claus!" virtually handing him the title for his song. He recorded his version of the song in 1947 and it became an instant classic. Autry was the original owner of Challenge Records. The label's biggest hit was "Tequila" by The Champs in 1958, which started the rock-and-roll instrumental craze of the late 1950s and early 1960s. He sold the label soon after, but the maroon and later green label has the "GA" in a shield above the label name. Autry made 640 recordings, including more than 300 songs written or co-written by himself. His records sold more than 100 million copies and he has more than a dozen gold and platinum records, including the first record ever certified gold. Film career Discovered by film producer Nat Levine in 1934, Autry and Burnette made their film debut for Mascot Pictures Corp. in In Old Santa Fe as part of a singing cowboy quartet; he was then given the starring role by Levine in 1935 in the 12-part serial The Phantom Empire. Shortly thereafter, Mascot was absorbed by the newly formed Republic Pictures Corp. and Autry went along to make a further 44 films up to 1940, all B Westerns in which he played under his own name, rode his horse, Champion, had Burnette as his regular sidekick, and had many opportunities to sing in each film. Pat Buttram was picked by Gene Autry, recently returned from his World War II service in the United States Army Air Forces, to work with him. Buttram would co-star with Gene Autry in more than 40 films and in over 100 episodes of Autry's television show In the Motion Picture Herald Top Ten Money-Making Western Stars poll Autry was listed every year from 1936 to 1942 and 1946 to 1954 (he was serving in the AAF 1943–45), holding first place 1937 to 1942, and second place (after Roy Rogers) 1947 to 1954. He appeared in the similar Box Office poll from 1936 to 1955, holding first place from 1936 to 1942 and second place (after Rogers) from 1943 to 1952. While these two polls are really an indication only of the popularity of series stars, Autry also appeared in the Top Ten Money Makers Poll of all films from 1940 to 1942, His Gene Autry Flying "A" Ranch Rodeo show debuted in 1940. Gene Autry was the first of the singing cowboys in films, but was succeeded as the top star by Roy Rogers while Gene Autry served in the AAF during World War II. Autry briefly returned to Republic to finish out his contract, which had been suspended for the duration of his military service and which he had tried to have declared void after his discharge. He appeared in 1951 in the film Texans Never Cry, with a role for newcomer Mary Castle. After 1951 he formed his own production company to make Westerns under his own control, which continued the 1947 distribution agreement with Columbia Pictures. Melody Ranch Autry purchased the 110 acre Monogram Movie Ranch in 1953, located in Placerita Canyon near Newhall, California in the northern San Gabriel Mountains foothills. He renamed it the Melody Ranch after his movie Melody Ranch. Autry then sold 98 acres of the property, most of the original ranch. The Western town, adobes, and ranch cabin sets and open land for location shooting were retained as a movie ranch on 12 acres. A decade after he purchased Melody Ranch, a brushfire swept through in August 1962, destroying most of the original standing sets. However, the devastated landscape did prove useful for productions such as Combat!. A complete adobe ranch survived at the northeast section of the ranch. In 1990, after his favorite horse Champion, who lived in retirement there, died, Autry put the remaining 12 acre ranch up for sale. It is now known as the Melody Ranch Motion Picture Studio and Melody Ranch Studios on 22 acres. The ranch has Melody Ranch Museum open year-round; and one weekend a year the entire ranch is open to the public during the Cowboy Poetry & Music Festival, another legacy of Autry's multi-talents. Radio and television career From 1940 to 1956, Autry had a huge hit with a weekly show on CBS Radio, Gene Autry's Melody Ranch. His horse, Champion, also had a CBS-TV and Mutual radio series, The Adventures of Champion. In response to his many young radio listeners aspiring to emulate him, Autry created the Cowboy Code, or Ten Cowboy Commandments. These tenets promoting an ethical, moral, and patriotic lifestyle that appealed to youth organizations such as the Boy Scouts, which developed similar doctrines. The Cowboy Code consisted of rules that were "a natural progression of Gene's philosophies going back to his first Melody Ranch programs—and early pictures." According to the code: The Cowboy must never shoot first, hit a smaller man, or take unfair advantage. He must never go back on his word, or a trust confided in him. He must always tell the truth. He must be gentle with children, the elderly, and animals. He must not advocate or possess racially or religiously intolerant ideas. He must help people in distress. He must be a good worker. He must keep himself clean in thought, speech, action, and personal habits. He must respect women, parents, and his nation's laws. The Cowboy is a patriot. Beginning in 1950, he produced and starred in his own television show on CBS and made several appearances on ABC-TV's Jubilee USA in the late 1950s. In 1995 Autry costarred with Charlton Heston, Mickey Rooney, Deborah Winters and Peter Graves in the Warren Chaney docudrama, America: A Call to Greatness. Military career During World War II Autry enlisted in the United States Army in 1942 and became a tech sergeant in the Air Corps. Holding a private pilot's license, he was determined to become an aviator and earned his service pilot rating in June 1944, serving as a C-109 transport pilot with the rank of flight officer. Assigned to a unit of the Air Transport Command, he flew as part of the dangerous airlift operation over the Himalayas between India and China, nicknamed the Hump. Rodeo Few are aware of Autry's longtime involvement in professional rodeo. In 1942 Autry, at the height of his screen popularity, had a string of rodeo stock based in Ardmore, Oklahoma. A year later he became a partner in the World Championship Rodeo Company, which furnished livestock for many of the country's major rodeos. In 1954 he acquired Montana's top bucking string from the estate of Leo J. Cremer, Sr. and put Canadian saddle bronc riding champion Harry Knight in charge of the operation. A merger with the World Championship Rodeo Company in 1956 made Autry the sole owner. He moved the entire company to a 24,000-acre (97 km2) ranch near Fowler, Colorado, with Knight as the working partner in the operation. For the next 12 years they provided livestock for most of the major rodeos in Texas, Colorado, Montana and Nebraska. When the company was sold in 1968, both men continued to be active in rodeo. For his work as a livestock contractor Autry was inducted into the Professional Rodeo Cowboys Association's ProRodeo Hall of Fame in 1979. Retirement Autry retired from show business in 1964, having made almost 100 films up to 1955 and over 600 records. He was elected to the Country Music Hall of Fame in 1969 and to the Nashville Songwriters Hall of Fame in 1970. After retiring, he invested widely and in real estate, radio, and television, including the purchase from dying Republic Pictures the rights for films he had made for the company. In 1952 Autry bought the old Monogram Ranch in Placerita Canyon (Newhall-Santa Clarita, California,) and renamed it Melody Ranch. Numerous "B" Westerns and TV shows were shot there during Autry's ownership, including the initial years of Gunsmoke with James Arness. Melody Ranch burned down in 1962, dashing Autry's plans to turn it into a museum. According to a published story by Autry the fire caused him to turn his attention to Griffith Park, where he would build his Museum of Western Heritage (now known as the Autry National Center). Melody Ranch came back to life after 1991, when it was purchased by the Veluzat family and rebuilt. It survives as a movie location today as well as the home of the City of Santa Clarita's annual Cowboy Festival, where Autry's legacy takes center stage. Baseball In the 1950s Autry had been a minority owner of the minor-league Hollywood Stars. In 1960, when Major League Baseball announced plans to add an expansion team in Los Angeles, Autry—who had once declined an opportunity to play in the minor leagues—expressed an interest in acquiring the radio broadcast rights to the team's games. Baseball executives were so impressed by his approach that he was persuaded to become the owner of the franchise rather than simply its broadcast partner. The team, initially called the Los Angeles Angels upon its 1961 debut, moved to suburban Anaheim in 1966, and was renamed the California Angels, then the Anaheim Angels from 1997 until 2005, when it became the Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim. Autry served as vice president of the American League from 1983 until his death. In 1995 he sold a quarter share of the team to The Walt Disney Company and a controlling interest the following year, with the remaining share to be transferred after his death. Earlier, in 1982, he sold Los Angeles television station KTLA for $245 million. He also sold several radio stations he owned, including KSFO in San Francisco, KMPC in Los Angeles, KOGO in San Diego, and other stations in the Golden West radio network. The number 26 (as in 26th man) was retired by the Angels in Autry's honor. The chosen number reflected that baseball's rosters are 25-man strong, so Autry's unflagging support for his team made him the 26th member. Death Gene Autry died of lymphoma on October 2, 1998, aged 91 at his home in Studio City, California and is interred in the Forest Lawn, Hollywood Hills Cemetery in Los Angeles, California. Personal life In 1932 he married Ina May Spivey (who died in 1980), who was the niece of Jimmy Long. In 1981 he married Jacqueline Ellam, who had been his banker. He had no children by either marriage. Autry, was raised into Freemasonry in 1927 at Catoosa Lodge No. 185, Catoosa Oklahoma. He later became a 33rd degree Master Mason, as recorded on his headstone. Legacy On November 16, 1941, the town of Berwyn, Oklahoma, north of Ardmore, was renamed in honor of Gene Autry. In 1972 he was inducted into the Western Performers Hall of Fame at the National Cowboy & Western Heritage Museum in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma. Autry was a life member of the Benevolent and Protective Order of Elks, Burbank Lodge No. 1497. His 1976 autobiography, co-written by Mickey Herskowitz, was titled Back in the Saddle Again after his 1939 hit and signature tune. He is also featured year after year, on radio and "shopping mall music" at the holiday season, by his recording of "Rudolph, the Red-Nosed Reindeer." "Rudolph" became the first No. 1 hit of the 1950s. CMT in 2003 ranked him No. 38 in CMT's 40 Greatest Men of Country Music. When the Anaheim Angels won their first World Series in 2002, much of the championship was dedicated to him. The interchange of Interstate 5 and State Route 134, located near the Autry National Center in Los Angeles, is signed as the "Gene Autry Memorial Interchange." In 2007, he became a charter member of the Gennett Records Walk of Fame in Richmond, Indiana. Johnny Cash recorded a song in 1978 about Autry called "Who is Gene Autry?" Cash also got Autry to sign his famous black Martin D-35 guitar, which he plays in the video of "Hurt." In 1977, Autry was awarded the American Patriots Medal by Freedoms Foundation of Valley Forge, Pennsylvania. Other winners of this medal were Helen Hayes, John Wayne, and Texas State Representative Clay Smothers. Autry was inducted into the Radio Hall of Fame in 2003. In 2004, the Starz Entertainment Corporation joined forces with the Autry estate to restore all of his films, which have been shown on Starz's Encore Western Channel on cable television on a regular basis to date since. Autry was inducted into the Oklahoma Hall of Fame in 1991. Hollywood Walk of Fame Autry is the only person to have five stars on the Hollywood Walk of Fame, one in each of the five categories maintained by the Hollywood Chamber of Commerce. Motion pictures, located at 6644 Hollywood Blvd. Radio, located at 6520 Hollywood Blvd. Recording, located at 6384 Hollywood Blvd. Television, located at 6667 Hollywood Blvd. Live theater, located at 7000 Hollywood Blvd. The Museum of the American West The Museum of the American West in Los Angeles' Griffith Park was founded in 1988 as the Gene Autry Western Heritage Museum, featuring much of his collection of Western art and memorabilia. It is now called The Autry National Center and is divided into two locations, eight miles apart from each other. Its mission is to present the unique and diverse perspectives of the American West, including the romanticized West in pop culture and the "real" nuanced history, including native and minority voices.

Who succeeded General Joseph Johnston as the Commander of the Army of Northern Virginia?	Joseph E. Johnston Joseph E. Johnston Tweet General Joseph E. Johnston (Library of Congress) Joseph Eggleston Johnston was born in Farmville, Virginia in 1807. He attended and graduated from West Point in 1829 ranked 13th of 46 cadets, and was then appointed to second lieutenant in the 4th U.S. Artillery. After several years he resigned from the Army to study civil engineering and was a topographer for a war ship in the Second Seminole War, where action there convinced him to rejoin the army. He served with honors in the Mexican-American War, the Seminole Wars, and as a quartermaster general in California in 1860. When Virginia seceded, Johnston was the highest-ranking U.S. Army officer to resign his commission. He was appointed brigadier general, and relieved Thomas “Stonewall” Jackson of his post at Harpers Ferry in May of 1861, and then organized the Army of the Shenandoah in July of that same year. Johnston contributed to the successes at First Manassas, but it is documented that the more junior PGT Beauregard was more responsible for the actions there. In August, Johnston was promoted to full general—what is called a four-star general in the modern U.S. Army—but was not pleased that three other men he had outranked in the "old army" now outranked him. Only Beauregard was placed behind Johnston on the list of five new generals, thus creating a tension between Johnston and Davis that would last throughout the war. Johnston was the original commander of the Army of Northern Virginia, then known as Army of the Potomac. From this position he would defend Richmond from invading Union general George B. McClellan in the Peninsula Campaign. Cornered, Johnston finally attacked in the Battle of Seven Pines on May 31, 1862. The battle was a draw, but prevented McClellan from advancing on Richmond. Johnston was wounded at the battle, providing Davis with the opportunity to appoint Robert E. Lee to command in Johnston’s stead; Lee held this position for the remainder of the war. After recovering from his wounds, Johnston went on to command in the western theater, and was involved but not fully in control of the conflicts at Vicksburg and Chattanooga. Johnston employed his withdrawal strategies to defend against Union general Sherman ’s advance from Chattanooga to Atlanta, and defeated Sherman at the Battle of Kennesaw Mountain. Johnston’s weak offensive strategy and caution caused Davis to remove him from command in July of 1864. After much public clamor, Davis reinstated him as commander of a loosely collected department of South Carolina, Georgia, and Florida. They were undermanned and under-supplied, but still had some short lived success at Bentonville. After many retreats and withdrawals, Johnston finally surrendered the Army of Tennessee and all remaining forces still active in his department to Sherman in April of 1865. It was the largest single surrender of war at 89,270 soldiers. Post war, Johnston served in many business ventures, and later as a U.S. Congressman before dying of pneumonia in 1891, which was contracted at Sherman’s funeral for which he was a pallbearer. He is buried in Baltimore, Maryland. Want the Latest? Follow us on Twitter and Facebook:	Robert E. Lee
The Gunfight at the O.K. Corral took place in which city?	Joseph E. Johnston - American Civil War - HISTORY.com Joseph E. Johnston A+E Networks Introduction Joseph E. Johnston (1807-1891) was a U.S. military officer who served as a Confederate general during the Civil War (1861-65). A veteran of the Mexican-American War (1846-48), Johnston entered the Civil War as one of the South’s senior officers and was appointed a full general. He won an early victory at the First Battle of Bull Run (Manassas) in July 1861, but was later criticized for being quick to retreat during the early stages of the Peninsula Campaign in the spring of 1862. Johnston was severely wounded at the Battle of Seven Pines in June 1862, and was subsequently replaced by Robert E. Lee. He later commanded Confederate forces in the Western Theater, where he clashed with President Jefferson Davis over his cautious strategy during the Vicksburg and Atlanta Campaigns. Johnston surrendered to General William T. Sherman in North Carolina in April 1865. After the war he worked as a railroad executive and insurance agent, and served a term in the U.S. Congress. He died in 1891 at the age of 84. Google Joseph E. Johnston: Early Life and Military Career Joseph Eggleston Johnston was born on February 3, 1807, near Farmville, Virginia . His father was a respected judge and Revolutionary War veteran, and his mother was the niece of Patrick Henry . With the help of his father’s political connections, Johnston secured an appointment to the United States Military Academy at West Point in 1825. He graduated in 1829, finishing 13th out of 46 in his class. Did You Know? General Joseph E. Johnston was the highest-ranking U.S. Army officer to join the Confederacy during the Civil War, and was the only Confederate general to command both the Eastern and Western theaters of battle. Johnston was commissioned a second lieutenant in the 4th U.S. Artillery, and spent his early military career on garrison duty before serving in a non-combat role in the Black Hawk War (1832). After a stint at Fort Monroe in Virginia, Johnston served on General Winfield Scott’s staff during the Second Seminole War (1835-42) in Florida . Disillusioned with peacetime military service, Johnston elected to resign his commission in 1837 to pursue a career in civil engineering. He found work as a civilian contract worker aboard a U.S. Navy vessel in Florida, and was wounded in the head by Seminoles while leading a survey party in 1838. Johnston re-enlisted in the Army a few months later and served as a captain of topographical engineers for the next several years. During this time he met Lydia McLane, the daughter of a Delaware politician, and the two were married in 1845. Johnston next served in the Mexican-American War (1846-48), during which he was wounded several times—first at the Battle of Cerro Gordo and later while leading a charge at the Battle of Chapultepec. He left the war with a much-vaunted combat record and secured a promotion to lieutenant colonel. Johnston went on to serve as a topographical engineer in Texas and as a cavalry officer in the Midwest. In 1860 he earned a promotion to brigadier general and was named quartermaster general of the U.S. Army. Joseph E. Johnston: Early Civil War Service Although he opposed secession, Johnston resigned his commission in April 1861 after his home state of Virginia joined the Confederacy. He was appointed a brigadier general in the Confederate Army and took command of forces garrisoned at Harpers Ferry. Johnston would achieve the first major victory of the war in July 1861, when he reinforced General P.G.T. Beauregard and oversaw a routing of Union troops at the First Battle of Bull Run (Manassas). While Johnston’s performance earned him a promotion to full general, it also set the stage for a long and strained relationship with Confederate President Jefferson Davis , who criticized him for not pursuing the retreating Union Army. Johnston was equally distressed to learn that his promotion to full general still placed him below Samuel Cooper, Robert E. Lee and Albert Sidney Johnston in rank. Johnston had been the most senior U.S. Army officer to join the Confederacy, and he viewed his new position as a personal insult from Davis. Despite his tumultuous relationship with the Confederate high command, Johnston was placed in charge of the Confederate Army of the Potomac (later called the Army of Northern Virginia) in early 1862. His first major service in this capacity came during the Peninsula Campaign in the spring of 1862, when Union general George B. McClellan attempted to land his army on the Virginia coast and move on Richmond. Against the wishes of Davis, Johnston elected to withdraw from the Virginia Peninsula in the campaign’s early stages. After making a defensive stand at the Battle of Williamsburg, Johnston continued to retreat, eventually positioning his army just outside of Richmond. Under pressure from Jefferson Davis, Johnston attacked McClellan at the Battle of Seven Pines on May 31, 1862. The offensive succeeded in blocking the Union advance, but Johnston was severely wounded during the fighting on June 1 and replaced by Robert E. Lee. While Johnston began what would become a six-month convalescence, Lee launched a series of brazen attacks during the Seven Days Battles and successfully drove McClellan from Virginia. Joseph E. Johnston: Western Theater Johnston returned to the field in November 1862 and was placed in command of Confederate forces in the war’s Western Theater. In May 1863 he was ordered to take charge of operations in Mississippi , which was threatened by forces under the command of Union General Ulysses S. Grant . After abandoning the state capital of Jackson, Johnston attempted to rendezvous with General John C. Pemberton, who was besieged at the vital Mississippi River hub at Vicksburg. Recognizing that he was at a severe numerical disadvantage, Johnston ordered Pemberton to cede the city to Union control. Pemberton, however, was under orders from Jefferson Davis to hold the city to the last, and refused to evacuate. Believing he didn’t have enough troops to mount an offensive and break the siege, Johnston elected not to attack Grant. Pemberton’s army was forced to surrender on July 4, 1863, and control of Vicksburg fell to the Union. Johnston was widely condemned for his overly cautious tactics in Mississippi, but in November 1863 he took command of the Army of Tennessee after General Braxton Bragg was relieved from duty. Tasked with halting General William T. Sherman’s march from Tennessee toward Atlanta, Johnston continued his policy of strategic retreat, which he believed preserved his army and allowed him to maneuver into strong defensive positions. This plan proved largely unsuccessful, as Sherman expertly bypassed Johnston’s army and inched closer toward Atlanta throughout May 1864. While Johnston succeeded in striking a blow against Sherman at the Battle of Kennesaw Mountain in June 1864, his reluctance make a decisive stand agitated Jefferson Davis, who replaced him with General John Bell Hood a month later. Johnston was reinstated in February 1865 and took command of the battered Army of Tennessee, which was assembled in North Carolina to delay Sherman’s march north after the fall of Atlanta. Working with General P.G.T. Beauregard, Johnston attempted a surprise attack at the Battle of Bentonville in March 1865, but was overwhelmed by a force three times the size of his own. After falling back to Greensboro, North Carolina, Johnston and Beauregard surrendered in late April 1865 after learning that Robert E. Lee had capitulated several days earlier at Appomattox. Joseph E. Johnston: Later Life After the Civil War, Johnston moved to Savannah, Georgia , where he worked as a railroad president and insurance agent. He spent the early 1870s writing a memoir of his wartime service before relocating to Richmond in 1877. In 1878 he was elected to the U.S. House of Representatives, but retired from politics after only one term. He was later appointed U.S. commissioner of railroads in the administration of President Grover Cleveland . While he continued his feud with Jefferson Davis even after the war, Johnston was friendly with a handful of former Union generals, including William T. Sherman. A pallbearer at Sherman’s funeral in February 1891, he refused to wear a hat in the winter cold out of respect for his former foe. Johnston subsequently caught pneumonia, dying a month later at the age of 84. Tags	i don't know

They are low and sandy, with miles of beaches interspersed with bar-enclosed lagoons, mangrove swamps, and a few rocky promontories—the highest being Cape Mount (about 1,000 feet [305 metres] in elevation) in the northwest, Cape Mesurado in Monrovia, and Cape Palmas in the southeast. Parallel to the coastal plains is a region of rolling hills some 20 miles (32 km) wide with an average maximum elevation of about 300 feet (90 metres); a few hills rise as high as 500 feet (150 metres). It is a region suitable for agriculture and forestry. Behind the rolling hills, most of the country’s interior is a dissected plateau with scattered low mountains ranging from 600 to 1,000 feet (180 to 305 metres) in elevation; some mountains rise to 2,000 feet (600 metres). A striking feature of the mountainous northern highlands along the Guinea frontier is Mount Nimba. Mount Nimba, the highest peak of the Nimba Range, which extends along the Guinea–Côte … G. Debonnet/UNESCO Buchanan The climate, especially on the coast, is warm and humid year-round, dominated by a dry season from November to April and by a rainy season from May to October. The dusty and dry harmattan (desert winds) blow from the Sahara to the coast in December, bringing relief from the high relative humidity. Deforestation and drought in the Sahel have affected the climate, lengthening the dry season by almost a month in some areas. Mean annual temperatures range between 65° F (18° C) in the northern highlands to 80° F (27° C) along the coast. Rainfall is irregular, and the rainy season varies in intensity and begins earlier at the coast than in the interior. The greatest amount of rainfall, 205 inches (5,200 mm), occurs at Cape Mount and diminishes inland to about 70 inches (1,800 mm) on the central plateau. The interior has hot but pleasant days and cool nights during the dry season. Plant and animal life Liberia has year-round evergreen vegetation. Many trees—such as red ironwood, camwood, whismore, teak, and mahogany—are valuable, but occur with other species, preventing easy harvest. Other trees of value are rubber, cacao, coffee, and the raffia palm. Liberia’s rainforest used to abound with animals such as monkeys, chimpanzees, small antelopes, pygmy hippopotamuses, and anteaters. However, these animals, along with the already threatened elephants, bush cows (short-horned buffalo), and leopards, were hunted for food during the civil war; their populations are recovering. There are many reptiles, including three types of crocodiles and at least eight poisonous snakes. There are several unique species of bats and birds, and scorpions, lizards, and fish are numerous. Sapo National Park, established in 1983 in the country’s southeast, was expanded in 2003 to encompass an area of some 700 square miles (1,800 square km). The 2000s saw an expansion of protected regions in Liberia, with new and enlarged wildlife reserves at Gola National Forest, the Wonegizi National Forest Reserve, and Lake Piso, and ecotourism was seen as a potential growth industry for the country. People flag of Liberia The present pattern of population distribution in Liberia is both a reflection of its migration history and a response to such social, economic, and cultural factors as war, employment, and superstition. Migrants from north-central Africa, who began to arrive in the 13th century, originally settled in the hinterlands but were driven by overcrowding to the coast. Immigrants from the United States and the West Indies , and from neighbouring African countries, also settled on the coast. The former migrated mostly to selected areas such as Monrovia (the oldest immigrant settlement), Buchanan , Edina, Greenville, Harper, Robertsport , and Marshall. Scattered settlements were created along newly constructed or improved roads, while plantation and mining activities encouraged larger settlements in a few interior and coastal areas. There are more than 2,000 villages, the majority of which are concentrated in central Liberia, in the northwest, and in the coastal region near Monrovia. The predominantly forested regions of south-central and northern Liberia have remained sparsely populated. The trend toward urbanization has had little impact on these villages. The result has been the segmentation of Liberian society into two coexisting subsystems—traditional-rural and modern-urban. Monrovia , founded in 1822, is the focal point of political, economic, and cultural activities. Situated on the left bank of the St. Paul River on the ridge formed by Cape Mesurado, it commands an imposing view of the Atlantic Ocean and the coastal plains. The city and its outlying districts and suburbs occupy five square miles. The old style of architecture that once characterized it, reminiscent of that of the southern United States before 1860, is giving way to contemporary styles. All of the ethnic groups of Liberia are represented in its population, as are refugees, African nationals from other countries, and Europeans. Demographic trends More than two-fifths of the population of Liberia is under age 15; less than 5 percent is older than 65. The country’s birth and death rates are similar to or greater than those of other sub-Saharan African countries and are among the highest in the world. Life expectancy, about 39 years for males and 42 years for females, is lower than that of most neighbouring countries and is among the lowest in the world. It fell as a result of the civil war and strife that began in the late 1980s and continued until 2003. About three-fifths of the population lives in urban communities , and there is a high rural-to-urban movement, especially to Monrovia. Other destinations include enclaves around rubber plantations and mines. Economy The Liberian economy is predominantly agrarian, and raw materials, equipment, and consumer goods are imported. Production for export is carried out on a large scale through foreign investment in rubber, forestry, and mining. Foreign ships registering under a Liberian “flag of convenience” have made Liberia one of the world’s foremost countries in registered shipping tonnage. Liberia nevertheless remains primarily agricultural. The distribution of wealth is uneven, the coastal districts receiving a greater share of economic benefits than the hinterland, after which the administrative centres are the next beneficiaries. After the mid-1970s the once-vibrant economy took a sharp downturn. Between 1976 and 1980 sluggish demand and low prices stagnated the economy and the annual growth rate plunged. But gradual signs of recovery appeared, especially in agriculture and forestry. In the early 1990s, however, civil war disrupted Liberia’s economy. Since the end of the conflict in 2003, and particularly after a democratically elected government was inaugurated in early 2006, efforts to rebuild the country’s economic infrastructure have been under way. Liberia is a member of two regional economic unions—the Mano River Union, a free trade group to which Sierra Leone and Guinea also belong, and the Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS). Agriculture, forestry, and fishing Agriculture is the leading sector of the economy. About half the land area is suitable for cultivation, though a small percentage is actually cultivated . Commercial farms are often operated by foreigners. Traditional farms, which comprise the largest number, are usually cultivated by slash-and-burn methods. Traditional farmers practice mixed cultivation of rice , cassava (manioc), and vegetables. They also raise goats, sheep, chickens, and ducks. Cultivation of cash crops such as coffee, cacao (grown for its seeds, cocoa beans), oil palm, sugarcane, and swamp rice is increasing. Domestic rice production meets about three-fourths of the country’s needs. The rest is imported, principally from East Asia. Liberia’s climate is suitable for rubber production; the necessary plants thrive on the country’s poor soils. In 1926 the Firestone Tire and Rubber Company of the United States obtained a concession for rubber cultivation. Rubber has become by far the country’s most valuable commercial crop, with coffee and cacao increasing in importance. Kola nuts, peanuts, and cotton are also produced, and cattle and pigs are raised. Rainforests produce fine hardwood timber, especially in the east of the country, but also in the centre and in the west. Timber concessions operate in the southeast and northwest. Substantial amounts of timber are produced, but exploitation of the forest resources is difficult because of poor roads and shortage of labour. Of the approximately 250 species of forest trees about 90 are marketable. In 2003 the United Nations (UN) placed an embargo on timber exports from Liberia, crippling the domestic forestry sector. These sanctions were lifted in 2006, and the industry was slow to recover. Deep-sea fishing is important, and the catch is largely mackerel, barracuda, and red snapper. Kru and Fanti fishermen, the latter from Ghana , have traditionally been the suppliers of fish to coastal areas but are supplemented by Liberian fishing companies. Inland fish-breeding ponds provide a source of protein. Resources and power Liberia is rich in natural resources. Prior to the civil war, it was among the leading producers of iron ore in Africa. Its sizable reserves are found primarily in four areas: the Bomi Hills , the Bong Range , the Mano Hills, and Mount Nimba, where the largest deposits occur. Other minerals include diamonds , gold, lead, manganese, graphite, cyanite (a silicate of aluminum, with thin bladelike crystals), and barite. There are possible oil reserves off the coast. During the civil war, iron production ground to a halt, and diamond exports were banned by the UN in 2001, in an effort to halt the traffic of “blood” or “conflict” diamonds. (See map illustrating the diamonds-for-weapons trade that had taken place in Africa by the end of the 20th century.) The diamond trade was resumed with the removal of sanctions in 2007, under the auspices of the Kimberley Process Certification Scheme, an international program that ensures that the rough diamond trade does not finance armed conflict. There is vast potential for the development of hydroelectric power, as virtually all of Liberia’s installed hydroelectric capacity was damaged or destroyed as a result of the civil war. The Mount Coffee hydroelectric station on the St. Paul River, once responsible for providing much of Monrovia’s power, was destroyed in the early days of the conflict. Reconstruction of the facility and electrification of Liberia’s rural countryside were two critical issues that faced the country in the postwar period. Access to potable water was severely limited by the civil war, and from 1990 to 2005 tap water was unavailable in Monrovia. However, surface water is abundant, and groundwater reserves are ample and regularly replenished by the country’s heavy rainfall. Manufacturing To export the ores, iron interests have built railroads connecting the mines with Monrovia and Buchanan. Iron ore is extracted by open-pit mining, while gold and diamonds are extracted by placer mining. Traditional, small-scale mining for gold and diamonds continues. Manufacturing enterprises are predominantly private and foreign-owned, and most serve the local market. Near Monrovia there is a petroleum refinery as well as a cement plant. There are also explosives, paint, pharmaceutical, and cosmetics plants. Bricks, tiles, cement blocks, lumber and furniture, soap, and footwear are also manufactured, and there are several distilleries. Finance The U.S. dollar, previously the sole legal tender in Liberia, circulates alongside the Liberian dollar, the official currency minted by the Central Bank of Liberia (CBL). Government revenues are derived from income, profits, property, domestic transaction, foreign trade, and maritime taxes. About one-third of economic development funding has generally been derived from foreign sources, both bilateral and multilateral. Among the several government-sponsored banks are the CBL, the National Housing and Savings Bank, the Agricultural and Cooperative Development Bank, and the Liberian Bank for Development and Investment. In addition there are private banks, insurance companies, and credit unions. Trade The United States and the countries of the European Union are the principal markets for Liberian exports. Rubber accounts for the overwhelming majority of Liberian export earnings, followed by gold, diamonds, coffee, and cocoa. Petroleum products and food are primary imports; others include machinery and transport equipment, beverages, tobacco, manufactured goods, lubricants, and chemicals. Asian countries, including South Korea , Japan, and Singapore , are the largest suppliers of imports. Services Instability and civil war have held Liberia’s potentially lucrative tourist industry in check. Tourist facilities are concentrated near beaches in Monrovia and Robertsport and near Lake Piso. Many cultural attractions, such as the Monrovia Zoo and the National Cultural Center at Kendeja, were destroyed or looted during the war. Providence Island near Monrovia and the Kpatawee Waterfalls on the Zor River near Suakoko remain popular destinations for Liberia’s emerging tourist trade. Labour and taxation About one-fourth of the workforce is employed in agriculture; an equal number work in trade and tourism and the public sector. The rest work in manufacturing, sales, services, and administration and management. Some two-fifths of the total labour force is made up of women. More women than men are employed in agriculture. Liberia’s economy is mixed and there is no nationalization of industry. The government, which is the largest single employer, operates several public corporations. There is a national Federation of Labour Unions, a federation of trade unions, and several other employees’ unions. Transportation Only a small percentage of Liberian roads are paved. Primary roads connect administrative and economic centres and provide access to the road systems of neighbouring countries. Monrovia is the principal commercial port, and it also has facilities for transshipping iron ore and liquid latex. Nimba Range iron ore is shipped from Buchanan, while the ports at Greenville and Harper are used primarily for the shipment of rubber and forest products. All ports are administered by the National Port Authority of Liberia. Liberia has two major airports, Robertsfield International, and James Spriggs Payne Airport, both near Monrovia. More than 100 airfields and airstrips dot the country’s interior. Government and society Constitutional framework Liberia’s government was patterned after that of the United States, with executive , legislative, and judicial branches. Political parties were legalized in 1984, and civilian rule was established in 1986. However, considerable political unrest and violence precluded any stable leadership in power from the mid-1990s to the early 2000s. A power-sharing agreement in 2003 largely ended the fighting and created a National Transitional Government (NTG). The NTG, supported by United Nations peacekeeping troops, replaced the government under the 1986 constitution and ruled until a democratically elected administration was installed in 2006. The Temple of Justice in Monrovia, Liberia Carol Goldstein—Keystone/FPG Liberia is a multiparty republic. Under the 1986 constitution, the head of state and government is the president, who is directly elected for a six-year term. Members of the bicameral National Assembly , who serve six-year terms in the House of Representatives and nine-year terms in the Senate, are also elected directly. Local government For administrative purposes, Liberia is divided into 15 counties. Each of the counties is headed by a superintendent, who is appointed by the president. Justice The judicial system comprises the Supreme Court, an appeals court, magistrate courts, and criminal courts. There are also traditional courts in some communities; the ethnic groups are allowed, as far as possible, to govern themselves according to customary law. Political process The 1986 constitution calls for a multiparty system. Major political parties and organizations include the Unity Party, the Congress for Democratic Change, the Alliance for Peace and Democracy , the United People’s Party, the National Patriotic Party, and the Liberty Party . The participation of women in Liberia’s political process was highlighted in late 2005 when Ellen Johnson Sirleaf was elected president, becoming the first woman to be elected head of state in Africa. In the first decade of the 21st century, women held about one-seventh of seats in both the House of Representatives and the Senate and some one-third of local government posts. In addition, women have served as ministers and deputy ministers in the cabinet and as justices on the Supreme Court. Health and welfare Conditions in Liberia were poor prior to the civil war, and they deteriorated further after years of war and unrest. Although much progress had been made in providing better health facilities, after the conflict subsided, the majority of these facilities were left in shambles or completely destroyed, especially in the areas beyond Monrovia. International relief organizations operated makeshift hospitals to serve the country’s health care needs, and reestablishing the health care infrastructure was a priority of the government. Malaria and measles are major health problems, and yellow fever, cholera, tuberculosis , and malnutrition are also prevalent. Dysentery, malaria , and diarrhea are major causes of infant mortality, which, at about 150 per 1,000 births, is high by world standards. The occurrence of HIV/AIDS in Liberia is increasing and is of growing concern. Liberia’s rate of HIV/AIDS, although higher than the world average, is comparable to that of most neighbouring countries and is much lower than that of many other sub-Saharan African countries. Housing Housing in much of the country was damaged or destroyed by civil war and the following years of unrest; hundreds of thousands of Liberians were displaced. The country’s utilities infrastructure was also destroyed. When the fighting subsided in 2003, privately owned generators were, for the most part, the only source of power in the country. Water delivery and sanitation systems were adversely affected by warfare as well, and unsafe water conditions were a major source of disease during and after the conflict. Education Since 1939 education has been compulsory for children between ages 7 and 16 and is free at the primary and secondary levels. Institutes providing higher education include the University of Liberia (1951) in Monrovia, Cuttington University College (1889; Episcopalian) in Suakoko, and the William V.S. Tubman College of Technology (1970) in Harper. There are several vocational schools, including the Booker Washington Institute at Kakata , a government school. The years of civil war and strife that began in the late 1980s and continued into the early 2000s disrupted education in Liberia: students were forced to flee with their families from the violence, and the majority of educational facilities and supplies were destroyed. After the peace accord of 2003, Liberia began the arduous task of rebuilding the country’s educational system. Page 1 of 2 Liberia - Student Encyclopedia (Ages 11 and up) A small country on the west coast of Africa, Liberia has been influenced in many ways by the United States. This influence has its origins in the efforts of the American Colonization Society to settle freed American slaves in Africa beginning in 1822. The government was modeled on that of the United States, and Monrovia, the capital and principal port, was named after United States President James Monroe. As Africa’s oldest republic, Liberia served as an important model for African colonies seeking independence. Area 37,420 square miles (96,917 square kilometers.) Population (2016 est.) 4,308,000.

On your next casual conversation you may impress your audience when you state that by far the largest city is Chongqing , because most certainly nobody ever had heard of that city. Chongqing in southwest China is one of the emerging Megacities with a population of more than 32 million people, sprawled over an area of 82,400 km² (this is twice the size of Switzerland with 41,285 km²). Chongqing carved out of Sichuan province in 1997, is de facto a Chinese province with the status of a provincial-level municipality like Shanghai , Beijing and Tianjin . And this should be the largest? Actually Chongqing's core population is about 7.5 million. The largest, the biggest, or the most populous cities? In many languages this terms are interchangeable, meaning the largest city of a country is also the most populous. In the chart below there they are, the largest cities in the world, ranked by the population of a city's urban/metropolitan area. What is a City? The challenge is, ranking these cities is like to compare apples and oranges. The common ground is: there is a city and there must be people, so lets count them. The problem begins with the definition of a city, easy you say? A build-up of many buildings with many citizens is a city, right? The largest city on Earth? Lets look at Tokyo, often referred to as the largest city on Earth. But this is only true when you take the built up area of Tokyo and add the urban expansion of Chiba, Kawasaki, Sagamihara, Saitama, and Yokohama , which actually is Japan's second most populous city . In the course of time, the fringe areas of all those cities have been growing together and now they form one massive conurbation, a sprawling ocean of buildings, and streets, with only virtual borders - and within, 28% of Japan ’s entire population. To learn more about the cities, this page provides links to the official city or municipality government website and/or to the official travel and tourism information site or other tourism guides related to a city.

Which alloy is created using copper and tin?	Copper-Tin Alloys: The Bronzes Copper-Tin Alloys: The Bronzes Abstract: The important alloys of copper and tin from an industrial point of view are the bronzes comprised within certain limits of tin content. As in the case of the brasses, the addition of tin to copper results in the formation of a series of solid solutions. The addition of tin to copper results in the formation of a series of solid solutions which, in accordance with usual practice, are referred to in order of diminishing copper content as the á, â, a, etc., constituents. The important alloys of copper and tin from an industrial point of view are the bronzes comprised within certain limits of tin content. As in the case of the brasses, the addition of tin to copper results in the formation of a series of solid solutions. The constitutional diagram of copper-tin alloys is very complex, but that part of it which deals with alloys of industrial importance is reproduced in Fig. 1. Figure 1. Constitutional Diagram of the Copper-Tin Alloys The addition of tin to copper results in the formation of a series of solid solutions which, in accordance with usual practice, are referred to in order of diminishing copper content as the á, â, a, etc., constituents. The diagram may be summarized as follows: Percentage composition Constituent just below the freezing point Constituent after slow cooling to 400°C Copper â–>(á + â) á + ä Further changes on cooling from 400°C to room temperature are so sluggish that they only occur in conditions very far removed from actual practice. The á solution is the softest of the constituents; it may be rolled or stamped cold, but it hardens under this treatment much more rapidly decreases than á-brass. The â and a constituents do not exist in the alloy slowly cooled to room temperature: this is due to successive changes occurring at 586°C and 520°C whereby â is resolved into á +a and a into á + ä. The ä constituent has the crystal structure of a-brass. It has a narrow range of composition corresponding approximately to the formula Cu3lSn8 and, like all intermetallic compounds, is extremely hard and brittle. The ä -> (á + l) change at 350°C does not occur in commercial practice, though alloys richer in tin may contain the a constituent, which corresponds to Cu3Sn, and the ç solid solution, which approximates to the composition CuSn. 95:5 Copper-Tin Alloy On cooling from the liquid condition, the solid solution which first forms contains only about 2 percent of tin. Thus the cast metal has a cored structure and the coring is very marked because of the long range between liquidus and solidus; but it may be eliminated by diffusion on cooling more slowly or by annealing. Any absorption of oxygen occurring during manufacture results in the presence of SnO2 in the alloy, tending to make it brittle. A deoxidizer such as zinc is therefore frequently added. The addition of zinc, as in coinage bronze, causes no change in the microscopical appearance of the homogeneous á constituent. The zinc, however, exerts its deoxidizing effect in the liquid, and slight hardening effect on the solid solution. The structure of a bronze coin shows marked deformation of the crystals. On annealing, recrystallization takes place with subsequent crystal growth. Twinning is a characteristic feature of the cold-worked and annealed alloy. 90:10 Copper-Tin Alloy This is typical gun-metal, most varieties of which, however, contain a deoxidizer, frequently zinc (e.g. Admiralty gun-metal, copper 88%, tin 10%, zinc 2%). The structure of the cast material depends on the rate of cooling, both through the range of solidification and below. On account of the wide solidification range of the alloy and the slow rate of tin diffusion, the apparent solubility limit of the á solution is well below that shown in the diagram. The cast structure is always definitely dendritic and if coring is pronounced, some â solution may be formed at 798°C This interdendritic â, on cooling, gives rise to the hard ä constituent. On the other hand, after slow cooling or prolonged annealing, the homogeneous á constituent may be produced. A chill-cast gun-metal will therefore be very different in structure and properties from one which has been annealed. 85:15 Copper-Tin Alloy This chemical composition is typical for a number of bronzes used as bearing metals, most of which, however, contain a little zinc as a deoxidizer. It is also the approximate composition of bell metal. Immediately after solidification the alloy consists of the á and â constituents. If rapidly cooled, these are preserved. If slowly cooled, the â (or a) is completely broken down below 520°C into a complex á + ä. The á + â structure is being replaced by á + (á + ä) complex in the slowly cooled alloy. This accounts for the fact that sand castings of this alloy are much harder than chill castings. It also provides the basis of heat treatment method, applied in the one case to bells and in the other to bearing metals. Date Published: Mar-2003	Bronze (disambiguation)
Which 1989 film starred Julia Roberts and was mainly set in a beauty salon run by a character played by Dolly Parton?	Copper: An Ancient Metal - Dartmouth Toxic Metals Superfund Research Program Copper: An Ancient Metal Copper: An Ancient Metal Humans Meet Metal Between seven and ten thousand years ago, our early ancestors discovered that copper is malleable, holds a sharp edge, and could be fashioned into tools, ornaments, and weapons more easily than stone, a discovery that would change humanity forever. This meeting of humans and metals would be the first step out of the Stone Age and into the ages of metals: the Bronze and Iron Ages. Thus began the increased movement of elements and minerals out of their parent geological formations and into the air, soil, water, and living organisms by way of smelters, furnaces and mine tailings. The first several thousand years of copper production contributed little to global or even local pollution. Copper is not very toxic in comparison to other metals and early humans used too little of it to begin concentrating it in soil, air, or water to the extent that it would affect human health or ecosystems. It appears that during the first few thousand years of its use, humans experiment with and learned techniques to utilize copper. As they got better at working with it, civilizations became more complex, which in turn often enabled better copper-working technology. With this came expanded use of copper and a greater movement of copper into our everyday environment. Metallurgy is Born Gold is believed to have been used earlier than copper, though its softness and scarcity made it impractical for widespread use, whereas copper is harder and found in pure form (native copper) in many parts of the world. (Gold and copper's distinct colors and existence in pure form made it easy for our early ancestors to distinguish the two metals from other minerals and stones they came across.) There is disagreement among archaeologists about the exact date and location of the first utilization of copper by humans. Archaeological evidence suggests that copper was first used between 8,000 and 5,000 B.C., most likely in the regions known now as Turkey, Iran, Iraq and toward the end of that period the Indian subcontinent. Archeologists have also found evidence of mining and annealing of the abundant native copper in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan in the United States dating back to 5,000 B.C. Native copper was likely used first, as it did not require any process to purify it. It could have been hammered into shapes although it would have been very brittle. Annealing was the first step toward true metallurgy, when people discovered that copper became more flexible and easy to work with when it was heated before hammering. Next, casting of molten copper into molds was developed. At some point humans discovered copper ore and possibly by accident that the ore could be heated to very high temperatures in a low-oxygen environment to melt out the pure copper, a process known as smelting. This lent more flexibility to copper crafting; no longer was native copper the only kind of useful copper if copper could be extracted from ores. Innovative Egyptians Copper mirror with wood handle from the Egyptian Middle Kingdom (c. 2000-1500 B.C.) or later. Credit: Hood Museum of Art, Dartmouth College; Gift of the Estate of Harold Goddard Rugg, Class of 1906 The Sumerians and the Chaldeans living in ancient Mesopotamia are believed to be the first people to make wide use of copper, and their copper crafting knowledge was introduced to the ancient Egyptians. The Egyptians mined copper from Sinai and used it to make agricultural tools such as hoes and sickles, as well as cookware, dishes, and artisans' tools such as saws, chisels, and knives. The Egyptians, famously fond of personal beautification, made mirrors and razors out of copper and produced green and blue makeup from malachite and azurite, two copper compounds with brilliant green and blue colors. By comparing the purity of copper artifacts from both Mesopotamia and Egypt, scientists have determined that the Egyptians improved upon the smelting methods of their northern neighbors in Mesopotamia. Most copper items in Egypt were produced by casting molten copper in molds. The Egyptians appear to have been one of several groups that independently developed the lost-wax method of casting, which is still used today. (Put simply, wax is formed into the shape of the end product, then covered in clay. The wax is melted out leaving a clay mold, which is then filled with molten copper. The mold is broken off when the metal is cool.) Bronze is Better The Egyptians may have been the first group to discover that mixing copper with arsenic or tin made a stronger, harder metal better suited for weapons and tools and more easily cast in molds than pure copper. (Since copper ore often contains arsenic, this may have been the unintentional result of smelting copper ore that included naturally occurring arsenic.) This alloy of copper with arsenic or tin is called bronze, and there is archeological evidence that the Egyptians first produced bronze in 4,000 B.C. Bronze may have also been developed independently in other parts of the Middle East and other parts of the world. Regardless of where it originated, bronze metallurgy soon overtook copper in many parts of the globe, thus ushering in the Bronze Age. (In parts of the world that lacked deposits of tin, copper was used alone or alloyed with other metals until iron was introduced.) The smelting process for bronze made with arsenic would have produced poisonous fumes. People may have preferred tin-based bronze or found that it was easier to control the amounts of tin added to copper than it was to control the amount of arsenic, which often occurred naturally in copper ore. Whatever the reason, bronze made with tin soon became the bronze of choice throughout the Middle East. Tin deposits were more confined to certain geographical areas than copper, which was readily available in many parts of the Middle East as well as other parts of the world. As people began using bronze instead of pure copper to make weapons and tools, trade in tin developed. The availability of bronze led to more advanced tool and weapon making, and with better weapons, armies could better conquer neighboring societies (and plunder their tin and copper resources).

Cyprus was the major supplier of copper to the Roman Empire. The name copper is probably derived from the Latin aes Cyprium, meaning metal of Cyprus. However, some speculate that the name Cyprus may have come second; it may have been derived from an older word for copper. Copper Crafting and Spirituality As copper helped humans to advance warfare, it also has played a role in the religious and spiritual life of people around the world through time. Hathor, Egyptian goddess of the sky, music, dance and art, was also the patron of Sinai, the major copper mining region of the Egyptians; she was often referred to as Lady of Malachite. To the people of the Andes in South America, who developed the most advanced metallurgy in pre-Columbian America, copper metallurgy was more than a secular craft for producing tools. Using native copper, Andean artisans made religious items from pounded copper foil and gilded copper.

In some parts of the continent coppersmithing was an inherited position with master smiths passing secret knowledge on to their sons. Mining, smelting, and casting of copper ore were preceded by elaborate ceremonies to ensure that the endeavors were safe and fruitful. Copper also plays a role today in many New Age beliefs. In some modern religions, it is seen as having healing powers, both spiritually and physically. Some people wear copper to help alleviate the symptoms of arthritis.

Manheim The people of the Indian subcontinent have been using copper and its alloys as long as anyone. Bronze casting was extensive in ancient times and bronze was used for religious statues and artwork. This practice also spread to Southeast Asia where copper and its alloys are used extensively even today in Buddhist artwork. Copper was first used in China around 2500 BC. The Chinese quickly began using bronze as well, and used different percentages of tin in bronze for different purposes. They used copper and bronze extensively for coinage. During the flourishing economic activity and expanded foreign trade in the Sung dynasty, circa 900 to 1100 AD, the use of cashround copper coins with a square hole in the middleexploded. Copper production was now reaching almost industrial proportions in some civilizations, though probably nowhere more than in ancient Rome. The Romans: Precocious Polluters Although iron and lead were in use by the era of the ancient Romans, copper, bronze, and brass (an alloy of copper and zinc) were used by the Romans for coins, aspects of architecture such as doors, and some parts of their extensive plumbing system (although pipes were made of lead). They also developed pipe organs made with copper pipes. Roman copper coin in the denomination of "As", from the reign of Caligula, c. 37-38 A.D. Credit: Hood Museum of Art, Dartmouth College; Gift of Arthur Fairbanks, Class of 1886 The Romans controlled extensive copper deposits throughout their empire. Scientists analyzing copper isotopes and trace metals present in Roman copper coins have determined that Rio Tinto, Spain (still a working copper mine), Cyprus, and to a lesser extent Tuscany, Sicily, Britain, France, Germany and other parts of Europe and the Middle East were sources of copper for the Empire. Increased purity of Roman copper coins over time also shows that their smelting methods improved quickly. The Romans in their heyday produced nearly 17,000 tons of copper annually, more than would be produced again until the Industrial Revolution in Europe. With this enormous output of copper came pollution that would be unsurpassed for almost two thousand years when the Industrial Revolution began. Did polluted air from early copper smelting affect the health of humans living in ancient times? Probably. Early smelting methods at that time were crude and inefficient by the standards of today. Copper smelting and to a lesser degree copper mining produced ultra-fine particle dust that was carried into the atmosphere on air currents created by the intense heat from smelting operations. Most of the pollution would have fallen near the smelting sites, causing health problems and contaminating soil and water. Roman Bronze waterspout from 2nd century A.D. Credit: Hood Museum of Art, Dartmouth College; Gift of Leo A. Marantz, Class of 1935 Scientists in the 1990s discovered that copper contamination is present in 7,000-year-old layers of ice in the Greenland glacial caps. A layer of ice is deposited on glacial caps annually, allowing a year-by-year analysis of the ice composition. As copper smelting became widespread at the beginning of the Bronze Age, enough copper was released into the air to contaminate ice thousands of miles away. Peaks in copper concentrations in ice layers correspond to the era of the Roman Empire, the height of the Sung dynasty in China (c. 900-1100 AD), and the Industrial Revolution, with decreased concentrations found in ice deposited immediately after the fall of the Roman Empire and during the later Middle Ages of Europe, when copper and bronze use was lower. The copper pollution of the Roman days still haunts us today. One former Roman copper mine and smelting site in Wadi Faynan, Jordan is still two thousand years after it ceased operations a toxic wasteland littered with slag from copper smelting. Researchers have discovered that vegetation and livestock in Wadi Faynan today have high copper levels in their tissue. The Industrial Revolution: Picking up Where the Romans Left Off Beginning in the late 1600s, copper smelting became a major industry in Great Britain. Copper ore from Cornwall and other areas and coal deposits throughout the country fueled the smelting of copper. An abundance of coal in Swansea, Wales made this coastal town a prime location for Britain's copper smelting activities beginning in early 1700s. The copper industry drove the economy of this town. Wealthy English people often owned smelters, while local Welsh people worked as laborers in the industry. Just as in ancient Rome, copper smelting had its price. The town and once lush countryside surrounding Swansea was stripped of vegetation by noxious copper smoke that billowed from the smelter stacks and settled on the surrounding town and fields. Topsoil on denuded hillsides succumbed to erosion. Livestock developed strange new ailments like swollen joints and rotten teeth. Farmers blamed the smoke. The smoke also reportedly caused shortness of breath, decreased appetite, and other complaints in humans. The Cornish copper ore purified in the Swansea smelters was high in arsenic, sulfur, and fluorspar (a compound of the element fluorine). The smelters emitted fumes from these compounds along with exhaust from the coal that fired the operations. The sulfur and fluorspar from the smoke mixed with water and oxygen in the atmosphere to produce sulfurous, sulfuric and hydrofluoric acids which rained down on Swansea as acid rain. Copper slag and other waste covered the landscape near the smelters. Historic print of 18th century copper smelting in the lower Swansea Valley In 1821, a fund was set up in Swansea, with contributions from some of the smelter owners, that would go to whomever could develop the technology to reduce the level of poisons being emitted from the smelters. (The industrialists were likely more concerned with economics and aesthetics than the health of workers and local people.) Although several groups of people came up with ideas to purify the smoke, none succeeded. Eleven years later, a group of Welsh farmers from outside Swansea sued one of the major smelter owners for public nuisance, claiming that the smelter smoke was damaging their farms. The owner of the copper smelter hired one of the best lawyers in the country, who fought the plaintiffs on the basis that the town depended on the copper industry for its economic survival and that the crop failures and sick livestock were the result of the Welsh people's backward farming methods and the disagreeable Welsh weather. The farmers lost the suit. Conductive Copper Copper played a central role in the technologies developed during the industrial revolution. One of the most important uses of copper at that time was in electrical engineering. Early scientists experimenting with electricity chose copper as a transmitter because it is highly conductive (can transmit electrical current easily). The electrical engineering industry today is the second largest consumer of copper. The Price of Industrialization Although production methods have improved since the time of the Romans and the Industrial Revolution, today copper production makes a hefty contribution to global pollution. Butte, Montana is home of an abandoned copper mine once owned by the now defunct Anaconda Copper Mining Company, established in Butte in 1895. Until the major Butte mine operations closed in the 1980s, the mine produced 20 billion pounds of copper. Until the 1950's, it produced one third of the country's copper and was an important supplier for the nation during the two World Wars. The former mine is now the largest Superfund site in the country. The main open pit has filled with water since the termination of mining activities, forming a 600-acre lake. Copper, lead, cadmium and arsenic contaminate the huge pit, which is recharged with water every day from an aquifer belowmaking the toxic lake nearly impossible to clean up. Sulfur, a mineral that is commonly a component of copper ore, reacts with air and water, producing sulfuric acid, which fills the pit. Mine runoff and fallout from the smelter once owned by Anaconda cover the landscape. A 1,000-acre tailings pond sits near the main pit. The Berkeley Pit, Butte Montana. Photo copyright 2000 by Anthony Leiserowitz. Used with permission During its operation, the copper mine in Butte shaped the social fabric of the town. Anaconda Copper Mining Company had a heavy hand in Montana politics and had a direct effect on the lives of miners and their families. Life in Butte during most of the 20th century revolved around anticipating layoffs and strikes that came at the end of three-year contracts between Anaconda Company and the miners' union. Working conditions were terrible. Mining accidents, miners' lung, heavy pollution, and violence and unrest between unions and the company were some of the costs to the people of Butte. Although little copper mining is still going on in the town, citizens of Butte are left with the toxic legacy of the mine. The Anaconda Company also owned a massive copper mine in Chuquicamata, Chile that operated from the 1920s to the 1970s. Chilean mine laborers lived in tiny company-owned apartments with minimal plumbing facilities. Wives and family of miners waited in lines daily for access to the meager provisions at the company store designated to the lowest class of mine employees. Their employment status also dictated which schools their children could attend. Strikes were also a regular part of life for miners and their families. Ethnographer and Butte, Montana native Janet Finn writes, In establishing labor, community, and government relations in Chuquicamata, the company turned to tried and true methods practiced in Butte: blacklists, bribery, and occasional brute force tempered with amusements that embraced both vice and virtue. Anaconda Company's Chuquicamata mine was closed in 1971 after the Chilean government nationalized the country's copper resources. However, copper mining is still a major industry in Chile. A University of Chile study in 1999 showed that copper mining, smelting, and refining accounts for a significant portion of the greenhouse gas production and other air pollution in that country and accounts for the largest consumption of fossil fuels in Chile as well as a significant amount of electricity. This contributes to global carbon dioxide levels, which contribute to global warming. Additionally, during the smelting process, large quantities of sulfur dioxide (SO2), a precursor to acid precipitation, are released from the sulfide ores, the most commonly mined copper ores in Chile. Local Copper Mining Historic photo of the Elizabeth Mine, Strafford, VT. Photo source: "The Legacy of the Elizabeth Mine" website Several towns in central Vermont's Orange County were sites of small copper mines and smelting operations during the 1800's. None of the mines produced as much copper as the major mines in other parts of the country, but the local mines were a source of employment for Cornish and Irish immigrants and helped support the local economy. Ely (now Vershire) was a classic boom and bust mining town, the site of one of the larger copper mines in the area and the scene of two Ely Wars between miners and mine owners in which miners rioted to get back-pay owed to them by the failing mining company. Another local copper mine was the Elizabeth Mine in South Strafford, Vermont that was in operation from 1830 to 1958. Today, it is part of the Environmental Protection Agency's Superfund program.

The great fish moved silently through the night water, propelled by short sweeps of its crescent tail.	Why horror…? \| sleeping with the light on sleeping with the light on Things that go bump in the night Menu / sleepingwiththelighton “The great fish moved silently through the night water, propelled by short sweeps of its crescent tail. The mouth was open just enough to permit a rush of water over the gills. There was little other motion: an occasional correction of the apparently aimless course by the slight raising or lowering of a pectoral fin – as a bird changes direction by dipping one wing and lifting the other. The eyes were sightless in the black, and the other senses transmitted nothing extraordinary to the small, primitive brain.” Jaws, Peter Benchley. I was eight years old and lying in my parents’ bed; my dad on his night shift at Fords’ Car Factory, and my mum asleep. My sisters and I took turns to sleep with her when dad was away. My turn meant that I could sneak a peak at the book she was reading. That week it was Jaws. “A hundred yards offshore, the fish sensed a change in the sea’s rhythm. It did not see the woman, nor yet did it smell her.” My recollection is vivid, just enough lamplight to read by in that dark room, me turning the pages carefully, so as not to disturb my mum, and that creeping sense of horror that made me want to stop whilst not letting me go. I was unable to stop myself, my heart beat faster than usual. I practiced pronouncing the longer words under my breath – uncertain of their meaning – but they felt delicious on my tongue. Something awful was about to happen. “The fish turned towards shore.” I had cut my teeth on Enid Blyton: Mr Pink Whistle, The Magic Far Away Tree, and The Wishing Chair; and a little later, The Secret Seven and The Famous Five. I had been moved up a year in school on account of my advanced reading age. No super genius, super prodigy child here, just an innate love of words and stories and imagined, far away worlds. That, and the insistence that my dad bought me books, books that I could walk into and live in, that tingled my skin and made my eyes pop with possibilities. And here, already, with the tatty paperback of Jaws clutched in my hands, I was experiencing a tiny drop in the ocean of books; the wonderful possibilities of what there would be to read as a big person. “She knew that the warm, pulsing flow over her fingers in the chill water was her own blood.” It took me a little while to read those first seven or eight pages, but that seed was well and truly planted. I can’t claim to have read the entire book. I think it probably seemed too overwhelming, too huge, not to mention the limited opportunities I would have to read what would be a forbidden text for an eight year old, but it captured my imagination. It was my earliest influence, my first introduction to the dark side. “The fish, with the woman’s body in its mouth, smashed down on the water with a thunderous splash, spewing foam and blood and phosphorescence in a gaudy shower.” In the same bedroom, in the same flat, around about the age of eight, I discovered the Stephen King novel, Carrie, under my parents’ bed. I did the same, flicking through the pages, and delighting in the words in front of me. And then came my first horror film. My parents were out, we had a babysitter, I was up late, I watched the film. That’s all I remember. It was a vampire film, no doubt one that would attract a “U” rating by today’s standards. At the end, the vampire fell down a hole, unceremoniously and accidentally staked by a wooden post protruding from the ground. He turned into a skeleton. I was horrified. I wanted to hide my face from the awful image of that skull, staring from empty eye sockets up at the man who had pushed him. But the film that both scared and scarred me well into my adulthood, (the film that I honestly cannot recall how I even came to watch) was that old, 1975, shocking and controversial movie, David Cronenberg’s, Shivers. It’s the story of parasitic slugs that infect people via any available orifice and take over their body, turning their hosts into insatiable sex maniacs. There’s a scene, I can remember it clearly (even on that pirated, VHS copy), where one of the slugs crawls up through the plug hole in the bath, between the legs of the unsuspecting woman, and enters her body to live and breed in her stomach. Hysterical screaming and water thrashing ensued. It took me until at least the age of 35 before I could pull the plug out of the bath while still sitting in it. Those early films terrified me. I was also addicted. I have never fully understood why we, as human beings, love that feeling of being afraid (from a safe distance, of course). Yes, there’s a science behind it, but still, why would you expose yourself to those feelings? And then go back for more? Horror movies and books scare me, and often terrify me, and I embrace it, because I love being scared, but only when it’s not real, when the danger is psychological but not physical, when that danger is locked in the pages of a book, or trapped behind the silver or small screen. My world of horror really opened up when starting secondary school. The kids were all reading The Rats, Lair and Domain, by James Herbert, marking out the pages that revealed titillating snippets of sex scenes. Did you read page 175?? Yes, they were titillating, but that’s not what attracted me. The first to last pages dripped with terror and blood and guts. I never got to finish Domain; we were living in the midst of the Cold War at the time, a very real and physical horror for me, and I was filled with nausea every time Reagan and Gorbachev became even a little disgruntled with each other. But I devoured The Rats and Lair. And I wanted more. A friend of my mum’s was an avid horror reader, and I convinced her to loan me them, on the condition that I wouldn’t let my parents find out. She introduced me to Dean Koontz and I was captivated. The first book I read of his, Strangers, really sealed the deal for me: I was a horror fan. I read as many of the man’s books as I could get my hands on; Night Chills, Whispers, Phantoms, The Face of Fear, The Key to Midnight, Twilight. And so on. And throughout all this, I wrote. At the age of six or seven, my stories were about the fairy, Tinkerbell, and her adventures in the forest; and Snowball the mouse, and his escapades during the night, free from his cage as his owner slept. And then ghost stories crept in, and gentle horror, and when Kennington’s Infants School library was vandalised and our teachers asked us to all write a replacement book, I wrote and illustrated The Secret Room. Pictures of severed heads and dripping blood decorated the pages. I’ll dig it out of the loft and share with you. And in my late teens, when I realised that, if I wanted to be a writer, I could be one, I started my first horror novel, Crush. I wanted to scare people the way I had been scared. I wanted my words to make people check under their beds, look in the wardrobe, and sleep with the lights on. I’ve been working on my second horror novel, The Remainers, whilst working a full time job to pay the bills. It’s a bit of a monster, and I love it, but it’s too long – currently at 160,000 words and counting. I’m parking it for a while. I’m seeing it as the horror project that helped me to better understand writing in the genre. I’ll finish it one day soon. It’s too scary a tale not to be told. My new project will begin in the Autumn. I’m hoping you’ll stick around to see how that turns out. Extracts from Jaws, Peter Benchley	Jaws

If you want to find Cherry Tree Lane, all you have to do is ask the policeman at the cross roads	Mary Poppins: A Woman of Many Personalities \| Academic About mary, poppins, review, character, analysis, reading, book, movie, film, musical, stage and play Report Abuse Home > Nonfiction > Academic > Mary Poppins: A Woman of Many Personalities Mary Poppins: A Woman of Many Personalities By shelbytakespix , ghjkl;, FL Image Credit: Elaina V., Canton, OH The author's comments: This is a character analysis and a comparison of Mary Poppins' relationships with the Banks children, Bert, and Mr. Banks and how these relationships change within the book, film, and stage adaptations. “If you want to find Cherry-Tree Lane all you have to do is ask the Policeman at the cross-roads. He will push his helmet slightly to one side, scratch his head thoughtfully, and then he will point his huge white-gloved finger and say: ‘First to your right, second to your left, sharp right again, and you’re there. Good-morning.’” (Travers 2). These are the directions any regular nanny would follow. However, in the case of a certain Mary Poppins, air is the most suitable path to 17 Cherry-Tree Lane. She knocks on the door only to be greeted by a gruff Mr. Banks. Four children run hectically behind him. A charismatic screever, Bert, draws life-like illustrations on the pavement if the weather is fine or sells matches if the weather is bad. How Mary Poppins interacts with each of these characters varies depending on the adaptation of the story. Her actions and interactions also help to set the mood and tone of the adaptation. In P.L Travers’s novel Mary Poppins, the titular character is portrayed as a grim, ugly old woman. However, in the film and stage adaptations of the story, Mary Poppins is portrayed in a different light. Like her personality and appearance, Mary Poppins’ relationship with the children, Bert, and Mr. Banks varies in the three works which results in significant differences between the adaptations. Mary Poppins’ most notable relationship is that which she has with the children. In the original book, Mary Poppins is portrayed as an ugly, older woman who denies she is magical but does not try to hide it at all. She is known by other magical creatures as “The Great Exception” because she maintained the magical abilities all children have. For example, she is capable of communicating with animals. When the children mention her magical powers, Mary Poppins denies them sternly and punishes the children when they acknowledge them. In the book, there are four children: Jane, Michael, John and Barbara. Mary Poppins only takes Jane and Michael on her adventures because the twins, John and Barbara, are too young. She later brings the twins with her, Jane, and Michael on their adventures in the second book, Mary Poppins Comes Back, which was published a year after Mary Poppins in 1935. However, in the film and stage adaptations, there are only two Banks children: Jane and Michael. Unlike her stern personality in the book, Mary Poppins is stern but still maintains a gentle and admirable disposition. Jane and Michael, prior to Mary Poppins’ arrival, sing a tune outlining the perfect nanny. They sing: Have a cheery disposition. Rosy cheeks. No warts. Play games, all sorts. You must be kind you must be pretty, very sweet and fairly pretty. Take us on outings, give us treats. Sing songs bring sweets. Never be cross or cruel. Never feed us Custer oil or gruel. Bleh! Love us as a song and daughter and never smell of Farley water… Hurry nanny. Many thanks. Sincerely, Jane and Michael Banks. (Sherman) Mary Poppins is firm when the children misbehave and try to take advantage of her. However, when they are not feeling their best or just need a little magic in their life, Mary Poppins’ lively personality comes to life in musical numbers such as “A Spoonful of Sugar”, when the children refuse to take their icky medicine, and in “Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious”, when the children jump into a dreamland through one of Bert’s street illustrations. Mary Poppins’ personality becomes a mix of both that of her book and film character in Mary Poppins: The Musical. In the stage adaptation of the book, Mary Poppins is a self absorbed, loving nanny who wants nothing but the best for the two Banks children, Jane and Michael. She thinks herself as “practically perfect in every way” (Sherman) as she states in the catchy song “Practically Perfect”. The children in this adaptation have worse behavior than they do in the film. Unlike in the book and film, Mary uses her magical powers to punish the children. She does so in “Temper, Temper (Playing the Game)” when she brings Jane and Michael’s toys to life that they have been mistreating to teach, through fear, them to treat their toys with care. These are few of the many examples of how Mary Poppins’ relationship with the children is different in the book, film, and stage adaptation. Another relationship that is evident in the book, film, and stage adaptation is that between Mary Poppins and Bert. In the original book, Bert is Mary Poppins’ best friend and one of the few people she is nice to, the others being Mrs. Corry and Nellie-Rubina. Bert is a charismatic screever and Matchman. When the weather is nice, he draws life-like illustrations on the pavement and when the weather is bad he sells matches off of street corners. It becomes evident that Bert has feelings for Mary Poppins when they go out together on her second Tuesday off. However, after that they never go out together again. In the film adaptation, Bert’s affection towards Mary Poppins is first made clear in the second song, “Jolly Holiday”, in which he sings: Ain’t it a glorious day? Right as a morning in May… I feel like I could fly. Have you ever seen the grass so green or a bluer sky? Oh it’s a jolly holiday with Mary. Mary makes your heart so light. When the day is grey and ordinary, Mary makes the sun shine bright. Oh happiness is blooming all around her. The daffodils are smiling at the dove. When Mary holds your hand, you feel so grand. Your heart starts beating like a big brass band. Oh it’s a Jolly Holiday with Mary. No wonder that it’s Mary that we like. (Sherman) At the end of the song, Mary Poppins sings back to him telling him that “though you’re just a diamond in the rough Bert, underneath your blood is blue”. These are the first few hints the audience gets that there is something more than just a friendly relationship between Mary Poppins and Bert. The song introduces that Mary Poppins and Bert have already known each other for a while. Later, in “Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious”, Mary Poppins and Bert are playful and flirtatious. They are also somewhat affectionate in “Chim Chim Cher-ee”. Unfortunately, Mary Poppins and Bert are never more than friends in the film. In the stage adaptation, Mary Poppins is quite aware of Bert’s feelings for her. They still sing “Jolly Holiday” together as one of the first songs during Act I. Throughout the musical, it is evident that Mary Poppins is aware of Bert’s feelings for her. She ignores his affection throughout the entire musical. Many audiences like the idea of Mary Poppins and Bert together as a couple but evidently Mary Poppins does not. Mary Poppins also has a very subtle relationship with Mr. Banks, more notably in the book and musical than in the movie. Mr. Banks’ personality remains consistent throughout the three adaptations. He is a disciplined man who works at the Dawes Tomes Mousley Grubbs Fidelity Fiduciary Bank in London and would probably be known as a Type A personality in modern times. He lives at 17 Cherry-Tree Lane with his wife and children. He dismisses the “Votes for Women” movement that his wife is an avid participant of and treats his wife, children, and servants as assets rather than people. He makes these opinions known in his song “The Life I Lead”. His ideas were portrayed in the musical in “Being Mr. Banks”. The relationship between Mary Poppins and Mr. Banks changes as Mary Poppins’ personality changes. In the book, as well as the musical, Mr. Banks had a vicious nanny, known as Mrs. Andrews, tortures him through his childhood and turns him into the man he grows up to be. When Mary Poppins’ personality is revealed in the book and stage adaptation, it seems that Mr. Banks was looking for a nanny who resembled his childhood nightmare so that his children would, hopefully, grow out of their troublesome behavior and into a more disciplined one, much like that of his. Mrs. Andrews is present in the musical but is only mentioned briefly in the book. She is never mentioned nor is she present in the film adaptation. Mary Poppins’ personality changed subtly, but enough to affect the plot, in the three adaptations of her fun and magical story: book, film, and stage. She is gruff and cruel in the book. She is kind and gentle, yet stern, in the movie. She snarky and narcissistic with hints of gentleness in the musical. These different personalities affect the different ways in which she interacts with the Banks children, Bert, and Mr. Banks in the book, film, and stage adaptation. So that leaves the question: who is the real Mary Poppins? Is she the gruff woman thought up by P.L. Travers? Is she sweet and kind woman written up by Walt Disney? Or is she the self-absorbed sweetheart adapted to the story by Julian Fellowes. That is a decision left to the audience.?	Mary Poppins
Mr and Mrs Dursley of number four, privet Drive, were proud to say they were perfectly normal, thank you very much.	Mary Poppins (en español) by P. L. Travers, Mary Shepard \|, Paperback \| Barnes & Noble® Copyright ©2006 Travers, P. L. All right reserved. ISBN: 0152058109 East Wind If you want to find Cherry-Tree Lane all you have to do is ask the Policeman at the cross-roads. He will push his helmet slightly to one side, scratch his head thoughtfully, and then he will point his huge white-gloved finger and say: "First to your right, second to your left, sharp right again, and you're there. Good-morning." And sure enough, if you follow his directions exactly, you will be there--right in the middle of Cherry-Tree Lane, where the houses run down one side and the Park runs down the other and the cherry-trees go dancing right down the middle. If you are looking for Number Seventeen--and it is more than likely that you will be, for this book is all about that particular house--you will very soon find it. To begin with, it is the smallest house in the Lane. And besides that, it is the only one that is rather dilapidated and needs a coat of paint. But Mr. Banks, who owns it, said to Mrs. Banks that she could have either a nice, clean, comfortable house or four children. But not both, for he couldn't afford it. And after Mrs. Banks had given the matter some consideration she came to the conclusion that she would rather have Jane, who was the eldest, and Michael, who came next, and John and Barbara, who were Twins and came last of all. Soit was settled, and that was how the Banks family came to live at Number Seventeen, with Mrs. Brill to cook for them, and Ellen to lay the tables, and Robertson Ay to cut the lawn and clean the knives and polish the shoes and, as Mr. Banks always said, "to waste his time and my money." And, of course, besides these there was Katie Nanna, who doesn't really deserve to come into the book at all because, at the time I am speaking of, she had just left Number Seventeen. "Without by your leave or a word of warning. And what am I to do?" said Mrs. Banks. "Advertise, my dear," said Mr. Banks, putting on his shoes. "And I wish Robertson Ay would go without a word of warning, for he has again polished one boot and left the other untouched. I shall look very lopsided." "That," said Mrs. Banks, "is not of the least importance. You haven't told me what I'm to do about Katie Nanna." "I don't see how you can do anything about her since she has disappeared," replied Mr. Banks, "But if it were me--I mean I--well, I should get somebody to put in the Morning Paper the news that Jane and Michael and John and Barbara Banks (to say nothing of their Mother) require the best possible Nannie at the lowest possible wage and at once. Then I should wait and watch for the Nannies to queue up outside the front gate, and I should get very cross with them for holding up the traffic and making it necessary for me to give the policeman a shilling for putting him to so much trouble. Now I must be off. Whew, it's as cold as the North Pole. Which way is the wind blowing?" And as he said that, Mr. Banks popped his head out of the window and looked down the Lane to Admiral Boom's house at the corner. This was the grandest house in the Lane, and the Lane was very proud of it because it was built exactly like a ship. There was a flagstaff in the garden, and on the roof was a gilt weathercock shaped like a telescope. "Ha!" said Mr. Banks, drawing in his head very quickly. "Admiral's telescope says East Wind. I thought as much. There is frost in my bones. I shall wear two overcoats." And he kissed his wife absentmindedly on one side of her nose and waved to the children and went away to the City. Now, the City was a place where Mr. Banks went every day--except Sundays, of course, and Bank Holidays--and while he was there he sat on a large chair in front of a large desk and made money. All day long he worked, cutting out pennies and shillings and half-crowns and threepenny-bits. And he brought them home with him in his little black bag. Sometimes he would give some to Jane and Michael for their money-boxes, and when he couldn't spare any he would say, "The Bank is broken," and they would know he hadn't made much money that day. Well, Mr. Banks went off with his black bag, and Mrs. Banks went into the drawing-room and sat there all day long writing letters to the papers and begging them to send some Nannies to her at once as she was waiting; and upstairs in the Nursery, Jane and Michael watched at the window and wondered who would come. They were glad Katie Nanna had gone, for they had never liked her. She was old and fat and smelt of barley-water. Anything, they thought, would be better than Katie Nanna--if not much better. When the afternoon began to die away behind the Park, Mrs. Brill and Ellen came to give them their supper and to bath the Twins. And after supper Jane and Michael sat at the window watching for Mr. Banks to come home, and listening to the sound of the East Wind blowing through the naked branches of the cherry-trees in the Lane. The trees themselves, turning and bending in the half light, looked as though they had gone mad and were dancing their roots out of the ground. "There he is!" said Michael, pointing suddenly to a shape that banged heavily against the gate. Jane peered through the gathering darkness. "That's not Daddy," she said. "It's somebody else." Then the shape, tossed and bent under the wind, lifted the latch of the gate, and they could see that it belonged to a woman, who was holding her hat on with one hand and carrying a bag in the other. As they watched, Jane and Michael saw a curious thing happen. As soon as the shape was inside the gate the wind seemed to catch her up into the air and fling her at the house. It was as though it had flung her first at the gate, waited for her to open it, and then had lifted and thrown her, bag and all, at the front door. The watching children heard a terrific bang, and as she landed the whole house shook. "How funny! I've never seen that happen before," said Michael. "Let's go and see who it is!" said Jane, and taking Michael's arm she drew him away from the window, through the Nursery and out on to the landing. From there they always had a good view of anything that happened in the front hall. Presently they saw their Mother coming out of the drawing-room with a visitor following her. Jane and Michael could see that the newcomer had shiny black hair--"Rather like a wooden Dutch doll," whispered Jane. And that she was thin, with large feet and hands, and small, rather peering blue eyes. "You'll find that they are very nice children," Mrs. Banks was saying. Michael's elbow gave a sharp dig at Jane's ribs. "And that they give no trouble at all," continued Mrs. Banks uncertainly, as if she herself didn't really believe what she was saying. They heard the visitor sniff as though she didn't either. "Now, about reference--" Mrs. Banks went on. "Oh, I make it a rule never to give references," said the other firmly. Mrs. Banks stared. "But I thought it was usual," she said. "I mean--I understood people always did." "A very old-fashioned idea, to my mind," Jane and Michael heard the stern voice say. "Very old-fashioned. Quite out of date, as you might say." Now, if there was one thing Mrs. Banks did not like, it was to be thought old-fashioned. She just couldn't bear it. So she said quickly: "Very well, then. We won't bother about them. I only asked, of course, in case you--er--required it. The nursery is upstairs--" And she led the way towards the staircase, talking all the time, without stopping once. And because she was doing that Mrs. Banks did not notice what was happening behind her, but Jane and Michael, watching from the top landing, had an excellent view of the extraordinary thing the visitor now did. Certainly she followed Mrs. Banks upstairs, but not in the usual way. With her large bag in her hands she slid gracefully up the banisters, and arrived at the landing at the same time as Mrs. Banks. Such a thing, Jane and Michael knew, had never been done before. Down, of course, for they had often done it themselves. But up--never! They gazed curiously at the strange new visitor.

When shall we three meet again, in thunder, lightning or in rain	Macbeth Glossary - Thunder, lightning or in rain Macbeth Glossary First Witch. When shall we three meet again In thunder, lightning, or in rain? (1-2) Here the Witches are not asking about the type of weather in which they should next meet, but when they should next meet. Interestingly, these lines follow the punctuation set by an early editor of the play. In Shakespeare's First Folio (1623) , we have instead: When shall we three meet again? In Thunder, Lightning, or in Rain? Allan Park Paton, in The tragedy of Macbeth: according to the first folio explains: These lines are thus printed in the Folio of 1623, with a mark of interrogation after each, and, having the author's blotless manuscript before them, we cannot think it possible that Heminge and Condell could have allowed a mistake to occur in the printing of the very first line of the work, and must, therefore, believe that it is the Poet's mark of interrogation, religiously retained through the three succeeding Folios, which stands there. Yet Sir Thomas Hanmer removed it, as if it were a slip on the part of the printer, and in all the modern editions that we are acquainted with, the lines run: When shall we three meet again In thunder, lightning, or in rain? which is a different thing. It seems to us that Shakespeare could not manage without the two marks of interrogation, odd as they look: that he found it necessary so to arrange the lines, to tell his meaning, which was: "All our meetings are in thunder, lightning, or in rain, when shall our next be?" not, "We meet sometimes under other elemental circumstances, but when shall we meet again in thunder, lightning, or in rain?" and this opportunity may be taken to note the importance of remembering, as we study the 1623 Folio, that, though occasionally confused through obvious misprinting, we have before us there, Shakespeare's pointing, as well as his words.

How many sheets of paper are there in one ream?	Conservatree How much paper can be made from a tree? Or, alternatively, how many trees are needed to make a given amount of paper? There is no simple answer to these questions, and all calculations can be no better than "ballpark estimates." Many people have heard the statistic that "a ton of recycled paper saves 17 trees." The "17 trees" number was popularized by Conservatree when it was a paper distributor, based on a report to Congress in the 1970s. It was calculated for newsprint, which is made in a totally different papermaking process from office and printing papers. But it was the best number anyone had, so it became the number everyone used to calculate number of trees saved by recycled paper, or number of trees cut to make virgin paper, no matter what type of paper they were talking about. Paper is made from a mix of types of trees. Some are hardwood, some are softwood. In addition, some are tall, some old, some wide, some young, some thin. Many of the "trees" used to make paper are just chips and sawdust. So how can one talk about a "typical tree"? And do numbers calculated 30 years ago still apply to today's much more efficient paper industry? We decided it was time to update these numbers, so Conservatree has tracked down some ways to make ballpark estimates more reliable than in the past. CONSIDERATIONS IN CALCULATING TREES TO PAPER What kind of paper are you talking about? Paper made in a "mechanical" or "groundwood" process (e.g. newsprint, telephone directories, base sheet for low-cost coated magazine and catalog papers) uses trees about twice as efficiently as paper made in the "kraft" or "freesheet" process (e.g. office and printing papers, letterhead, business cards, copy paper, base sheet for higher-quality coated magazine and catalog papers, advertising papers, offset papers). Is the paper "coated" or "uncoated"? The fiber in a coated paper (most often used for magazines and catalogs, with a clay coating that may be glossy or matte, or other finishes) may be only a little more than 50% of the entire sheet, because the clay coating makes up so much of the weight of the paper. As a ballpark estimate, you can use .64 as the fiber estimate for coated papers compared to the entire weight of the sheet. (Fiber estimate calculation by Alliance for Environmental Innovation) So how many trees would make a ton of paper? Claudia Thompson, in her book Recycled Papers: The Essential Guide (Cambridge, MA: MIT Press, 1992), reports on an estimate calculated by Tom Soder, then a graduate student in the Pulp and Paper Technology Program at the University of Maine. He calculated that, based on a mixture of softwoods and hardwoods 40 feet tall and 6-8 inches in diameter, it would take a rough average of 24 trees to produce a ton of printing and writing paper, using the kraft chemical (freesheet) pulping process. If we assume that the groundwood process is about twice as efficient in using trees, then we can estimate that it takes about 12 trees to make a ton of groundwood and newsprint. (The number will vary somewhat because there often is more fiber in newsprint than in office paper, and there are several different ways of making this type of paper.) SOME TYPICAL CALCULATIONS 1 ton of uncoated virgin (non-recycled) printing and office paper uses 24 trees 1 ton of 100% virgin (non-recycled) newsprint uses 12 trees A "pallet" of copier paper (20-lb. sheet weight, or 20#) contains 40 cartons and weighs 1 ton. Therefore, 1 carton (10 reams) of 100% virgin copier paper uses .6 trees 1 tree makes 16.67 reams of copy paper or 8,333.3 sheets 1 ream (500 sheets) uses 6% of a tree (and those add up quickly!) 1 ton of coated, higher-end virgin magazine paper (used for magazines like National Geographic and many others) uses a little more than 15 trees (15.36) 1 ton of coated, lower-end virgin magazine paper (used for newsmagazines and most catalogs) uses nearly 8 trees (7.68) How do you calculate how many trees are saved by using recycled paper? (1) Multiply the number of trees needed to make a ton of the kind of paper you're talking about (groundwood or freesheet), then (2) multiply by the percent recycled content in the paper. For example, 1 ton (40 cartons) of 30% postconsumer content copier paper saves 7.2 trees 1 ton of 50% postconsumer content copier paper saves 12 trees.	five hundred

According to the Bible, who was 969 years old when he died?	Genesis 5:27 Altogether, Methuselah lived a total of 969 years, and then he died. Matthew Henry Commentary 5:25-32 Methuselah signifies, 'he dies, there is a dart,' 'a sending forth,' namely, of the deluge, which came the year that Methuselah died. He lived 969 years, the longest that any man ever lived on earth; but the longest liver must die at last. Noah signifies rest; his parents gave him that name, with a prospect of his being a great blessing to his generation. Observe his father's complaint of the calamitous state of human life, by the entrance of sin, and the curse of sin. Our whole life is spent in labour, and our time filled up with continual toil. God having cursed the ground, it is as much as some can do, with the utmost care and pains, to get a hard livelihood out comfort us. It signifies not only that desire and expectation which parents generally have about their children, that they will be comforts to them and helpers, though they often prove otherwise; but it signifies also a prospect of something more. Is Christ ours? Is heaven ours? We need better comforters under our toil and sorrow, than the dearest relations and the most promising offspring; may we seek and find comforts in Christ.	Methuselah

The Sharks are a British Basketball team currently playing in the British Basketball League. In which city are they based?	British Basketball League \| Basketball Wiki \| Fandom powered by Wikia www.BBL.org.uk The British Basketball League, often abbreviated to the BBL, is the premier men's professional basketball league in the United Kingdom. The BBL runs two knockout competitions alongside the league championship; the BBL Cup and the BBL Trophy. The BBL is not to be confused with the English Basketball League (EBL) or the Scottish Basketball League (SBL), which effectively form the second tier of British basketball. There is currently no promotion or relegation between the EBL, SBL and BBL because of the franchise system in use in the BBL, although Plymouth Raiders , Worcester Wolves and Durham Wildcats amongst others have all been elected from the EBL in recent years. The league currently consists of 12 teams with representation from both England and Scotland. The 2011 Champions were Mersey Tigers , while Guildford Heat were the league's most recent representatives in Europe, competing in the ULEB Cup during the 2007-08 season . Member franchises of the BBL jointly own the league, and a chairman is elected by the teams to oversee league operations. The current Chairman is Paul Blake , the Managing Director of Newcastle Eagles. The head offices are located in Leicester, where the country's oldest team, the Leicester Riders is also based. Contents History 1980s: Elite establishment The British Basketball League burst onto the British hoops scene in 1987 as the game's foremost clubs opted for a franchise-based competition without promotion or relegation. Seeking to improve the sport's image through greater professionalism, the BBL fast became the benchmark for quality competition in the UK. In 1988 Portsmouth emerged from the pack to clinch the inaugural BBL Championship title but the following year saw the famous Kingston Kings side of the late 80s and early 90s win the first of three back-to-back league crowns. 1990s: Television, sponsors and crowds flood in The 1990s also saw an exciting growth in popularity and commercialism of the league. Television crews and exciting sponsors such as Peugeot, Lego, Playboy and Budweiser came flooding in, as did the crowds. The Manchester Giants opened the 1995-96 season in front of a record 14,251 fans at the NYNEX Arena against the London Leopards - a record crowd that stood for a basketball game until 2006 when the NBA started staging pre-season games at the O2. London Towers , Crystal Palace and the Greater London Leopards ushered in an era of capital success in the mid-1990s and in 1999 a Conference format was introduced, which was mirrored by the NBL the following season. For three seasons the cream of the north and the south followed an American-style system with London Towers invincible in the South. 2000s: The millennium slump A single-league BBL returned in 2002 and five different franchises have won the Championship title in the five years since. However the new millennium also saw a series of downfalls for the BBL. The collapse of ITV Digital cost the league dear, with many franchises struggling to recover from the lost revenue that the £21 million contract was providing. Long established franchises such as the Giants , the Leopards , Derby Storm , Thames Valley Tigers and Birmingham Bullets have all dropped out in the years since, never to be seen again. The membership crisis brought about the addition of new franchises such as Guildford Heat (Formed by fans of the defunct Thames Valley Tigers) and elected teams from the lower-tier English Basketball League , like the Plymouth Raiders , both making a refreshing impact on the old boys, with the Heat qualifying for the post season playoffs in 2005-06 , their rookie season. During the same season Newcastle won 30 of their 40 regular season league fixtures to clinch the League Championship crown - the previous season saw the Eagles win 31 matches but lose out to Chester Jets in the final week, by just two points. That title was one of four pieces of silverware won during the dubbed "clean-sweep" season of 2005-2006 , the Eagles marching on to claim the BBL Cup , BBL Trophy and Playoff's - the complete set. Guildford Heat, only in their second season in 2006-2007 , stole the headlines by storming to their first League title coupled with the BBL Cup , to mark a historic moment for the young club and its fans. Plymouth Raiders also put themselves on the map by overcoming their underdog tags to beat Newcastle on their own court in the BBL Trophy final, their first silverware as a BBL team. Newcastle managed to redeem themselves at the very end, after a poor season, by their standards, by claiming the Playoff title against rivals Scottish Rocks . The future League chairman and Newcastle Managing Director Paul Blake is marketing the game at home and abroad, and after successfully gaining representation in the ULEB Cup with Guildford Heat's appearance in 2007-08 the league is slowly recovering from a low ebb. There is a strong emphasis on recruiting and developing homegrown talent with a view to supporting Team GB 's London 2012 medal bid. With British NBA star Luol Deng committing to the team [1] and various other stars eligible to also play for Britain, including Ben Gordon , Pops Mensah-Bonsu , and Joel Freeland . [2] Champions Competition format Regular season The regular season of the Championship, which runs from October to April, operates as a league format . Teams play each other on three occasions throughout the season, resulting in a thirty-three game campaign for each team, meeting each of their counterparts once at home, once away, and once home or away in the 12-team league structure. [3] Matches are played according to FIBA rules and games consist of four quarters of 10 minutes each. Two points are awarded for a win, [3] with the game going into overtime if the score is tied at the final buzzer - unlimited numbers of 5 minute overtime periods are played until one team is ahead when a period ends. In the league season, team schedules are not identical and neither are matchdays, with games scheduled mainly around venue availability. Because of this teams may find themselves playing a series of four or five home games consecutively followed by a straight set of away games. As the regular season is also particularly short, many games are played over weekends as 'doubleheaders', whereby a team will play games (possibly a home and away game) on consecutive days, something that is not commonplace in British sports, although often seen in the National Basketball Association and other American sports. Following the completion of the Championship regular season, the top eight placed teams advance into the post-season Play-offs which usually take place during April. [4] Play-offs The post-season Play-offs sees the top eight teams from the Championship regular season advance into a knockout competition starting with the Quarter-finals. Teams are seeded dependent on their final positioning within the regular season league standings, so first-place faces eighth-place, second versus seventh-place, third against sixth-place and finally fourth plays the fifth-placed team. Both the Quarter-finals and the succeeding Semi-finals are played over a two-game series (home & away) with the higher seed having choice of home advantage in the either the 1st or 2nd leg - aggregate scores will determine the victors. [3] [5] The culmination of the post-season is the grand final, which sees the two Semi-final winners play a one-game event to determine the eventual victors of the Play-offs. Traditionally held during the final weekend of April, the showpiece event is held at the National Indoor Arena in Birmingham. [5] Other competitions Main article: BBL Cup The BBL Cup is one of two peripheral competitions operated by the BBL during the regular season. The tournament emerged from a breakaway of the National Cup and was contested for the first time in 2003-04 , when Sheffield Sharks were the inaugural winners. It is a pure knockout competition comprising all 13 BBL clubs, with the final hosted at the prestigious National Indoor Arena in Birmingham , usually in early January. The current holders are the Everton Tigers , after their 103-49 victory rout over the Plymouth Raiders on January 18, 2009. It was a historic event for both teams appearing in their first BBL Cup Final, notable for Raiders finishing with the lowest points total ever recorded in a BBL Cup Final and also for losing by the biggest margin in those finals, with a gap of 54. BBL Trophy Main article: BBL Trophy The BBL Trophy started out as the Anglo-Scottish Cup in 1985 was initially a competition between teams from both the English and Scottish leagues. It was rebranded as the League Trophy in 1987 following the reorganisation and amalgamation of the leagues. The tournament begins with a regional group format and comprises all 13 BBL clubs plus 3 teams from the EBL . The winners of each group go through to play each other in a two-legged Semi-final, with the two winners then going on to the Final, which is hosted by the winner of the previous years competition. European Competition There are three tiers of trans European competition, taking into account not only the performance of clubs within their national league, but also the arena sizes, attendance and television revenues. Starting with the 2012-13 season, to compete in the first tier Euroleague competition, clubs must play in arenas with capacities of at least 10,000 people. To compete in the second tier Eurocup competition, clubs must play in arenas with capacities of at least 5,000 people. To compete in the third tier EuroChallenge competition, clubs must play in arenas with capacities of at least 3,500 people. Also, clubs must be in good standing with FIBA Europe's club rules and regulations. This means that clubs that have been punished in court for unpaid financial obligations to players and have refused to meet them cannot compete in any of the three continental competitions. As none of the BBL's clubs are based in arenas of this size, and what few games that are televised are broadcast on Sky Sports 3 - a channel which less than 1% of the population have in their home - the BBL does not meet the requirements to play in European competition. The ratings are amended every 3 years based on the league's performance in the previous five years. Meaning the BBL would need to increase stadium capacity (and corresponding attendance figures) as well as find a less esoteric broadcaster by 2015 for its teams to qualify for even the lowest level of European competion. Teams See: List of defunct British Basketball League teams Future teams Birmingham (Name to be announced in Summer 2012 and to start playing from the 2012-13 Season) [ref http://www.mvp247.com/2011/06/birmingham-franchise-award/ ] Manchester (Yet to be confirmed, expected to start playing from the 2012-13 Season) Players Foreign imports League rules currently allow for each team to have a maximum of three "import" players - from outside of the European Union (EU) - whilst the remaining players on the roster must have citizenship of an EU country, either by birth or by naturalisation. [6] The current ruling was integrated at the beginning of the 2006-07 season , reverting from the previous law which allowed four imports along with naturalised players. Because of this previous rule, it was possible for a team to field an entirely American starting five, which was often the case. With the 2012 Olympics in mind, an attempt to develop home grown talent has taken incredible steps forward in British basketball in development of more British players. Contributing to this cause, the BBL has implemented a new ruling which would have been in effect from the start of the 2007-08 season , whereby only two imported (non-EU) players are permitted in each roster. However, with an expansion of three more franchises for the 2007-08 season, the decision to permit only two non-EU players was revoked because of the lack of available home-grown talent currently available. Transfer regulations According to BBL rules, teams must field no more than six import (non-EU) players in any one season, though only three are allowed to be registered to a roster at any one time. Signings are allowed to be made throughout the pre-season and during the regular season until the league's transfer deadline, which is on 28 February, or if during a leap year , the date is then 29 February. Notable former players Media coverage Internet Most British Basketball fans first port of call for the latest basketball information is the Internet with sites like the BBL's official website, plus MVP 24/7 , Britball and Inside the Game who provide fans with latest news and results including live commentary from key games. Newspapers Basketball receives little national media coverage in the United Kingdom. Some national newspapers list results and occasionally provide short summaries of the league's news but more extensive coverage remains minimal. There was a small surge in interest during the 2005-06 season when many national newspapers such as The Sun reported that former NBA player Dennis Rodman had signed for Brighton Bears only weeks after being evicted from Celebrity Big Brother. [7] The press attention quickly faded after 'Rodmania' had died down following his three game appearance for the Southcoast franchise. Coverage in the towns and cities where BBL clubs are based is more extensive. Newspapers such as The Herald (Plymouth), Sheffield Star, The Glaswegian, Glasgow Herald, Daily Record, Leicester Mercury, Newcastle Chronicle and the Worcester News have dedicated basketball reporters who cover the local team. Radio BBC Radio Devon often provide live commentary of Plymouth Raiders games, both home and away, while various local radio stations around the country occasionally offer updates on their respective local teams. Television The League is broadcasted on Sky Sports throughout the 2010-2011 season , after a deal was announced in October 2010. The contract sees the League televising one 'as live' game per week on Tuesday evenings throughout the course of the season and marks the return of BBL action on Sky Sports after a 9-year gap. [8] The history of television coverage of the BBL is extremely minimal and sparodic. During the 2007-08 season international broadcaster Setanta Sports saw one game a week shown live on Setanta Sports 2. [9] The coverage proved a ratings success and it was hoped that live televised games would continue during the 2008-09 season , however no deal was ever reached. In 2006, League officials signed a £2.5 million broadcasting rights agreement with MKTV to provide coverage of 40 live games per season. [10] However only two matches were screened and the deal eventually collapsed when the channel closed. Though the BBL Cup final had been broadcast live over the internet two months previously, by UKTV, this was the first time in five years that the BBL was screened live on television, since the collapse of ITV Digital in 2002. Before then, the league also enjoyed coverage from Channel 4 in the 1980s and Sky Sports from 1995 to 2001, where audiences peaked at around 150,000. [11] Awards	Sheffield

British Basketball League BBL logo, featuring the Molten G7 matchball Sport BBL.org.uk The British Basketball League, often abbreviated to the BBL, is the top-tier professional basketball league in the United Kingdom . The BBL runs two knockout competitions alongside the league championship; the BBL Cup and the BBL Trophy , as well as the pre-season face-off, the Cup Winners' Cup . The BBL is not to be confused with the English Basketball League (EBL) or the Scottish Basketball League (SBL), which effectively form the second tier of British basketball. There is currently no promotion or relegation between the EBL, SBL and BBL because of the franchise system in use in the BBL, although Plymouth Raiders , Worcester Wolves , London Capital and Worthing Thunder have all been elected from the EBL in recent years. The league currently consists of 13 teams with representation from both England and Scotland . In its two decade history the league has been won by 12 different franchises. The 2009 League Champions were Newcastle Eagles , while Guildford Heat were the league's most recent representatives in Europe, competing in the ULEB Cup during the 2007-08 season . Member franchises of the BBL jointly own the league, and a chairman is elected by the teams to oversee BBL operations. The current Chairman is Paul Blake , the Managing Director of Newcastle Eagles. The head offices are located in Leicester , where the country's oldest team, the Leicester Riders is also based. Contents Advertisements 1980s: Elite establishment The British Basketball League burst onto the British hoops scene in 1987 as the game's foremost clubs opted for a franchise-based competition without promotion or relegation . Seeking to improve the sport's image through greater professionalism, the BBL fast became the benchmark for quality competition in the UK . And with the development and evolution of the BBL Cup and BBL Trophy , there is now ample opportunity for Britain's 10 elite basketball clubs to match ambition with silverware. In recent years, Newcastle Eagles have been the biggest winner of the game's major prizes after clinching six consecutive major trophies. In 1988 Portsmouth emerged from the pack to clinch the inaugural BBL Championship title but the following year saw the famous Kingston Kings side of the late 80s and early 90s win the first of three back-to-back league crowns. 1990s: Television, sponsors and crowds flood in The 1990s also saw an exciting growth in popularity and commercialism of the league. Television crews and exciting sponsors such as Peugeot , Lego , Playboy and Budweiser came flooding in, as did the crowds. The Manchester Giants opened the 1995-96 season in front of a record 14,251 fans at the NYNEX Arena against the London Leopards - still the largest crowd to ever watch a basketball match in Britain. London Towers , Crystal Palace and the Greater London Leopards ushered in an era of capital success in the mid-1990s and in 1999 a Conference format was introduced, which was mirrored by the NBL the following season.

The team finishing in first place will play the lowest seeded eighth team (match 1), as will second place against seventh (match 2), third against sixth (match 3)and finally the fourth and fifth placed teams facing each other in match 4. The top seeded team in each game will have home court advantage, with the four winners then going onto to compete in the Semi-finals. Both semi-finals matches are played on the Saturday of the Finals Weekend , held during the May bank holiday weekend at the National Indoor Arena , in Birmingham .

BBL Cup Winners' Cup Main article: BBL Cup Winners' Cup The BBL Cup Winners' Cup is a pre-season tournament competed over two legs, one home and one away, between the winners of BBL Cup and BBL Trophy from the previous season. Each leg is staged prior to the beginning of the regular season and is considered the curtain-raiser for the new BBL campaign, the winner being the team with the better points total on the aggregate score. Concepted in 2007, the competition was first fought for by Guildford Heat (BBL Cup winners 2006-07 ) and Plymouth Raiders (BBL Trophy winners 2006-07 ), and saw the Heat defeat the Raiders to claim the inaugural Cup 176-168 on aggregate. The second edition saw Trophy winners Heat competing to retain their crown against the 2008 BBL Cup winners Milton Keynes Lions . The first leg, played in Milton Keynes on September 14, saw the visitors claim a slender advantage to win 89-91. The second leg on September 19, was almost as close and finished 68-60 to the home-court Heat, resulting in a 10-point aggregate victory for the Guildford Heat, who retained the Cup. The Cup Winners' Cup wasn't competed for during the 2009-2010 season . BBL Trophy Main article: BBL Trophy The BBL Trophy started out as the Anglo-Scottish Cup in 1985 was initially a competition between teams from both the English and Scottish leagues.

Many other flagship websites have come and gone over the years, most notably UKTVSlam!, operated by the UKTV group, whiched folded during the summer of 2007. The website provided the most detailed coverage of basketball available in Britain, and often featured live matches from the BBL and Euroleague available to watch online for a small subscription fee.

Steamboat Willie was a 1928 Walt Disney cartoon with Mickey Mouse, but the title was a parody of Steamboat Bill Jr, a full length silent comedy of the same year which starred which famous deadpan comedy great?	Mickey Mouse \| The Disney Wiki \| Fandom powered by Wikia Walt Disney, Ub Iwerks Voiced by Walt Disney (1928–1947) Jimmy MacDonald (1947–1977) Wayne Allwine (1977–2009)[3] Bret Iwan (2009–present) Mickey Mouse is a cartoon character who has become an icon for the Walt Disney Company . Mickey Mouse was created in 1928 by Walt Disney and Ub Iwerks [1] . He was voiced by Walt Disney from 1928–1946 theatrically, and again from 1955–1959 for the original ABC TV The Mickey Mouse Club , Daily's Pets television series. The Walt Disney Company celebrates his birth as November 18, 1928, upon the release of Steamboat Willie , [2] although Mickey had already appeared six months earlier in an unfinished test screening of Plane Crazy [3] (Steamboat Willie being the first Mickey Mouse Cartoon to be released). The anthropomorphic mouse has evolved from being simply a character in animated cartoons and comic strips to become one of the most recognizable symbols in the world. Mickey is currently the main character in the Disney Channel 's Disney Junior series " Mickey Mouse Clubhouse ". Mickey is the leader of The Mickey Mouse Clubhouse , with help from Minnie Mouse, Donald Duck, and other friendly friends of his. In late 2009, The Walt Disney Company announced that they will begin to re-brand the Mickey Mouse character by putting a little less emphasis on his pleasant, cheerful side and reintroducing the more mischievous and adventurous sides of his personality, [4] starting with the newly released Epic Mickey . Contents Edit Mickey Mouse was created as a replacement for Oswald the Lucky Rabbit , an earlier cartoon character created by the Disney studio for Charles Mintz of Universal Studios . [5] When Disney asked for a larger amount for his budget for the popular Oswald series, Mintz announced that Disney could keep doing the Oswald series, as long as he agreed to a budget cut and went on the payroll. Mintz owned Oswald and thought he had Disney over a barrel. Angrily, Disney refused the deal and returned to produce the final Oswald cartoons he contractually owed Mintz. Disney was dismayed at the betrayal by his staff, but determined to restart from scratch. The new Disney Studio initially consisted of animator Ub Iwerks and a loyal apprentice artist, Les Clark . One lesson Disney learned from the experience was to thereafter always make sure that he owned all rights to the characters produced by his company. In the spring of 1928, Disney asked Ub Iwerks to start drawing up new character ideas. Iwerks tried sketches of various animals, such as dogs and cats, but none of these appealed to Disney. A female cow and male horse were also rejected. They would later turn up as Clarabelle Cow and Horace Horsecollar . (A male frog, also rejected, would later show up in Iwerks' own Flip the Frog series.) [1] Walt Disney got the inspiration for Mickey Mouse from his old pet mouse he used to have on his farm. In 1925, Hugh Harman drew some sketches of mice around a photograph of Walt Disney. These inspired Ub Iwerks to create a new mouse character for Disney. [1] " Mortimer Mouse " had been Disney's original name for the character before his wife, Lillian, convinced him to change it, and ultimately Mickey Mouse came to be. [6] [7] Actor Mickey Rooney has claimed that, during his Mickey McGuire days, he met cartoonist Walt Disney at the Warner Brothers studio, and that Disney was inspired to name Mickey Mouse after him. [8] "We felt that the public, and especially the children, like animals that are cute and little. I think we are rather indebted to Charlie Chaplin for the idea. We wanted something appealing, and we thought of a tiny bit of a mouse that would have something of the wistfulness of Chaplin — a little fellow trying to do the best he could. When people laugh at Mickey Mouse, it's because he's so human; and that is the secret of his popularity. I only hope that we don't lose sight of one thing — that it was all started by a mouse." [9] Plane Crazy, The Gallopin Gaucho, and Steamboat Willie Edit Disney had Ub Iwerks secretly begin animating a new cartoon while still under contract with Universal. The cartoon was co-directed by Walt Disney and Ub Iwerks. Iwerks was the main animator for the short, and reportedly spent six weeks working on it. In fact, Iwerks was the main animator for every Disney short released in 1928 and 1929. Hugh Harman and Rudolf Ising also assisted Disney during those years. They had already signed their contracts with Charles Mintz, but he was still in the process of forming his new studio and so for the time being they were still employed by Disney. This short would be the last they animated under this somewhat awkward situation. [10] Mickey was first seen in a test screening of the cartoon short Plane Crazy , on May 15, 1928, but it failed to impress the audience, and to add insult to injury, Walt could not find a distributor. Though understandably disappointed, Walt went on to produce a second Mickey short: " The Gallopin' Gaucho " which was also not released for lack of a distributor. Mickey Mouse in Steamboat Willie (1928) Steamboat Willie was first released on November 18, 1928 in New York. It was co-directed by Walt Disney and Ub Iwerks. Iwerks again served as the head animator, assisted by Johnny Cannon, Les Clark , Wilfred Jackson and Dick Lundy . This short was intended as a parody of Buster Keaton 's Steamboat Bill Jr. , first released on May 12 of the same year. Although it was the third Mickey cartoon produced, it was the first to find a distributor, and thus is considered by The Disney Company as Mickey's debut. Willie featured changes to Mickey's appearance (in particular, simplifying his eyes to large dots) that established his look for later cartoons and in numerous Walt Disney films. The cartoon was not the first cartoon to feature a soundtrack connected to the action. Fleischer Studios , headed by brothers Dave and Max Fleischer , had already released a number of sound cartoons using the DeForest system in the mid-1920s. However, these cartoons did not keep the sound synchronized throughout the film. For Willie, Disney had the sound recorded with a click track that kept the musicians on the beat. This precise timing is apparent during the "Turkey in the Straw" sequence, when Mickey's actions exactly match the accompanying instruments. Animation historians have long debated who had served as the composer for the film's original music. This role has been variously attributed to Wilfred Jackson, Carl Stalling and Bert Lewis, but identification remains uncertain. Walt Disney himself was voice actor for both Mickey and Minnie, and would remain the source of Mickey's voice through 1946 for theatrical cartoons. Jimmy MacDonald took over the role in 1946, but Walt provided Mickey's voice again from 1955 to 1959 for the Mickey Mouse Club television series on ABC. The script had Mickey serving aboard Steamboat Willie under Captain Pete. At first he is seen piloting the steamboat while whistling . Then Pete arrives to take over piloting and angrily throws him out of the boat's bridge. They soon have to stop for cargo to be transferred on board. Almost as soon as they leave, Minnie arrives. She was apparently supposed to be their only passenger but was late to board. Mickey manages to pick her up from the river shore. Minnie accidentally drops her sheet music for the popular folk song " Turkey in the Straw ". A goat which was among the animals transported on the steamboat proceeds to eat the sheet music. Consequently Mickey and Minnie use its tail to turn it into a phonograph which is playing the tune. Through the rest of the short, Mickey uses various other animals as musical instruments . Captain Pete is eventually disturbed by all this noise and places Mickey back to work. Mickey is reduced to peeling potatoes for the rest of the trip. A parrot attempts to make fun of him but is then thrown to the river by Mickey. This served as the final scene of this short. Audiences at the time of Steamboat Willie's release were reportedly impressed by the use of sound for comedic purposes. Sound films or "talkies" were still considered innovative. The first feature-length movie with dialogue sequences, The Jazz Singer starring Al Jolson , was released on October 6, 1927. Within a year of its success, most United States movie theaters had installed sound film equipment. Walt Disney apparently intended to take advantage of this new trend and, arguably, managed to succeed. Most other cartoon studios were still producing silent products and so were unable to effectively act as competition to Disney. As a result Mickey would soon become the most prominent animated character of the time. Walt Disney soon worked on adding sound to both Plane Crazy and The Gallopin' Gaucho (which had originally been silent releases) and their new release added to Mickey's success and popularity. A fourth Mickey short, The Barn Dance, was also put into production; however, Mickey does not actually speak until The Karnival Kid in 1929 when his first spoken words were "Hot dogs, Hot dogs!" After Steamboat Willie was released, Mickey became a close competitor to Felix the Cat , and his popularity would grow as he was continuously featured in sound cartoons. By 1929, Felix would lose popularity among theater audiences, and Pat Sullivan decided to produce all future Felix cartoons in sound as a result. [11] Unfortunately, audiences did not respond well to Felix's transition to sound and by 1930, Felix had faded from the screen. [12] Roles and designs Edit The Barn Dance , first released on March 14, 1929, was the first of twelve Mickey shorts released during that year. It was directed by Walt Disney with Ub Iwerks as the head animator. This short is notable for featuring Mickey turned down by Minnie in favor of Pete. It is also an unusual appearance of the Pete character; previously depicted as a menacing villain , he is portrayed here as a well-mannered gentleman. In addition, Mickey was not depicted as a hero but as a rather ineffective young suitor. In his sadness and crying over his failure, Mickey appears unusually emotional and vulnerable. It has been commented, however, that this only serves to add to the audience's empathy for the character. First gloved appearance "Ever wonder why we always wear these white gloves?" - Various characters (with minor variations) Mickey The Opry House , first released on March 28, 1929, was the second short released during the year. This short introduced Mickey's gloves . Mickey can be seen wearing them in most of his subsequent appearances. Supposedly one reason for adding the white gloves was to allow audiences to distinguish the characters' hands when they appeared against their bodies, as both were black (Mickey did not appear in color until The Band Concert in 1935). The three black lines on the backs of the gloves represent darts in the gloves' fabric extending from between the digits of the hand, typical of kid glove design of the era. Depiction as a regular mouse Edit When the Cat's Away , first released on April 18, 1929, was the third Mickey short to be released that year. It was essentially a remake of one of the Alice Comedies, Alice Rattled by Rats, which had been first released on January 15, 1926. Kat Nipp makes his second appearance, though his name is given as "Tom Cat" (this describes his being a tomcat , and the character should not be confused with the co-star of the Tom and Jerry series). He is seen getting drunk on alcoholic beverages . Then he leaves his house to go hunting . In his absence an army of mice invade his house in search of food. Among them are Mickey and Minnie, who proceed to turn this gathering into a party . This short is unusual in depicting Mickey and Minnie as having the size and partly the behavior of regular mice. The set standard both before and after this short was to depict them as having the size of rather short human beings. On another note, since this short was released during the Prohibition era , the alcoholic beverages would probably have been products of bootlegging . Mickey as a soldier Edit The next Mickey short to be released is also considered unusual. " The Barnyard Battle " was first released on April 25, 1929. This short is notable because it was the first to depict Mickey as a soldier and also the first to place him in combat. Mouse in transition In 1930, Disney began the first of what would later be many Mickey Mouse Clubs, which were located in hundreds of movie theaters across the United States. [13] First comic strip appearance Edit By this point Mickey had appeared in 15 commercially successful animated shorts and was easily recognized by the public. So Walt Disney was approached by King Features Syndicate with the offer to license Mickey and his supporting characters for use in a comic strip. Walt accepted and Mickey made his first comic strip appearance on January 13, 1930. The comical plot was credited to Walt Disney himself, art to Ub Iwerks and inking to Win Smith . The first week or so of the strip featured a loose adaptation of "Plane Crazy". Minnie soon became the first addition to the cast. The strips first released between January 13, 1930 and March 31, 1930 have been occasionally reprinted in comic book form under the collective title "Lost on a Desert Island". Animation historian Jim Korkis notes "After the eighteenth strip, Iwerks left and his inker, Win Smith, continued drawing the gag-a-day format..." [14] Classical music performances Edit Meanwhile in animation, two more Mickey shorts had been released. The first of them was "The Barnyard Concert", first released on March 3, 1930. It featured Mickey conducting an orchestra . The only recurring characters among its members were Clarabelle as a flutist and Horace as a drummer . Their rendition of the Poet and Peasant Overture (by Franz von Suppé ) is humorous enough; but it has been noted that several of the gags featured were repeated from previous shorts. The second, was originally released on March 14, 1930 under the title Fiddlin' Around but has since been renamed to Just Mickey. Both titles give an accurate enough description of the short which has Mickey performing a violin solo. It is only notable for Mickey's emotional renditions of the finale to the " William Tell Overture ", Robert Schumann 's "Träumerei" ("Reverie"), and Franz Liszt 's " Hungarian Rhapsody No. 2", the latter which would appear on a regular basis in shorts starring Bugs Bunny , Tom and Jerry and Woody Woodpecker . In The Band Concert , the first Mickey Mouse cartoon filmed in Technicolor , Mickey conducted the William Tell Overture, but in the cartoon is swept up by a tornado, along with his orchestra. It is said that conductor Arturo Toscanini so loved this short that, upon first seeing it, he asked the projectionist to run it again. Mickey made his most famous classical music appearance in 1940 in the classic Disney film Fantasia . His screen "role" as The Sorcerer's Apprentice , set to the symphonic poem of the same name by Paul Dukas , is perhaps the most famous segment of the film. The segment features no dialogue at all, only the music. The apprentice (Mickey), not willing to do his chores, puts on the sorcerer's magic hat after the sorcerer goes to bed and casts a spell on a broom, which causes the broom to come to life and perform the most tiring chore—filling up a deep well using two buckets of water. When the well eventually overflows, Mickey finds himself unable to control the broom, leading to a near-flood. After the segment ends, Mickey is seen in silhouette shaking hands with Leopold Stokowski , who conducts all the music heard in Fantasia. Departure of a co-creator and consequences Edit "The Barnyard Concert" and "Fiddlin' Around" were followed by " Cactus Kid ", released on April 11, 1930. As the title implies, the short was intended as a Western movie parody. But it is considered to be more or less a remake of "The Gallopin' Gaucho" set in Mexico instead of Argentina. Mickey was again cast as a lonely traveler who walks into the local tavern and starts flirting with its dancer. The latter is again Minnie. The rival suitor to Mickey is again Pete though using the alias Peg-Leg Pedro. For the first time in a Mickey short, Pete was depicted as having a peg-leg. This would become a recurring feature of the character. The rhea of the original short was replaced by Horace Horsecollar. This is considered to be his last non-anthropomorphic appearance. The short is considered significant for being the last Mickey short to be animated by Ub Iwerks. Shortly before the release of "Cactus Kid", Iwerks left to start his own studio, bankrolled by Disney's then-distributor Pat Powers . Powers and Disney had a falling out over money due Disney from the distribution deal. It was in response to losing the right to distribute Disney's cartoons that Powers made the deal with Iwerks, who had long harbored a desire to head his own studio. The departure is considered a turning point to the careers of both Walt Disney and Mickey Mouse. The former lost the man who served as his closest colleague and confidant since 1919. The latter lost the man responsible for his original design and for the direction and/or animation of several of the shorts released till this point, and some would argue Mickey's creator. Walt Disney has been credited for the inspiration to create Mickey, but Iwerks was the one to design the character and the first few Mickey Mouse cartoons were mostly or entirely drawn by Iwerks. Consequently some animation historians have suggested that Iwerks should be considered the actual creator of Mickey Mouse. Advertising for the early Mickey Mouse cartoons credited them as "A Walt Disney Comic, drawn by Ub Iwerks". Later Disney Company reissues of the early cartoons tend to credit Walt Disney alone. Disney and his remaining staff continued the production of the Mickey series, and he was able to eventually find a number of animators to replace Iwerks. As the Great Depression progressed and Felix the Cat faded from the movie screen, Mickey's popularity would rise, and by 1932, the Mickey Mouse Club would have one million members [15] and Walt would receive a special Oscar for creating Mickey Mouse; in 1935, Disney would begin to phase out the Mickey Mouse Clubs, due to administration problems. [16] Despite being eclipsed by the Silly Symphonies short The Three Little Pigs in 1933, Mickey still maintained great popularity among theater audiences too, until 1935, when polls showed that Popeye the Sailor was more popular than Mickey. [17] [18] [19] By 1934, Mickey merchandise had earned $600,000.00 a year. [20] In 1994, "The Band Concert" was voted the third-greatest cartoon of all time in a poll of animation professionals. By colorizing and partially redesigning Mickey, Walt would put Mickey back on top once again, and Mickey would reach popularity he never reached before as audiences now gave him more appeal; [21] in 1935, Walt would receive a special award from the League of Nations for creating Mickey. However, by 1938, the more manic Donald Duck would surpass the passive Mickey, resulting in a redesign of the mouse; [22] the redesign between 1938 and 1940 put Mickey at the peak of his popularity. [21] However, after 1940, Mickey's popularity would decline until his 1955 re-emergence as a daily children's television personality. [23] Despite this, the character continued to appear regularly in animated shorts until 1943 (winning his only competitive Academy Award—with canine companion Pluto —for a short subject, Lend a Paw) and again from 1946 to 1952. Appearances in comics Main article: Mickey Mouse and Friends (comic book) In early 1930, after Iwerks' departure, Walt was at first content to continue scripting the Mickey Mouse comic strip, assigning the art to Win Smith. However, Walt's focus had always been in animation and Smith was soon assigned with the scripting as well. Smith was apparently discontent at the prospect of having to script, draw, and ink a series by himself as evidenced by his sudden resignation. Walt proceeded to search for a replacement among the remaining staff of the Studio. For unknown reasons he selected Floyd Gottfredson , a recently hired employee. At the time Floyd was reportedly eager to work in animation and somewhat reluctant to accept his new assignment. Walt had to assure Floyd that the assignment was only temporary and that he would eventually return to animation. Floyd accepted and ended up holding this "temporary" assignment from May 5, 1930, to November 15, 1975. Walt Disney's last script for the strip appeared May 17, 1930. [14] Gottfredson's first task was to finish the storyline Disney had started on April 1, 1930. The storyline was completed on September 20, 1930 and later reprinted in comic book form as Mickey Mouse in Death Valley. This early adventure expanded the cast of the strip which to this point only included Mickey and Minnie. Among the characters who had their first comic strip appearances in this story were Clarabelle Cow, Horace Horsecollar and Black Pete as well as the debuts of corrupted lawyer Sylvester Shyster and Minnie's uncle Mortimer Mouse . The Death Valley narrative was followed by Mr. Slicker and the Egg Robbers, first printed between September 22 and December 26, 1930, which introduced Marcus Mouse and his wife as Minnie's parents. Starting with these two early comic strip stories, Mickey's versions in animation and comics are considered to have diverged from each other. While Disney and his cartoon shorts would continue to focus on comedy , the comic strip effectively combined comedy and adventure. This adventurous version of Mickey would continue to appear in comic strips and later comic books throughout the 20th and into the 21st century. Floyd Gottfredson left his mark with stories such as Mickey Mouse Joins the Foreign Legion (1936) and The Gleam (1942). He also created the Phantom Blot , Eega Beeva , Morty and Ferdie, Captain Churchmouse, and Butch. Besides Gottfredson artists for the strip over the years included Roman Arambula, Rick Hoover, Manuel Gonzales , Carson Van Osten , Jim Engel, Bill Wright, Ted Thwailes and Daan Jippes ; writers included Ted Osborne , Merrill De Maris , Bill Walsh , Dick Shaw, Roy Williams , Del Connell, and Floyd Norman . The next artist to leave his mark on the character was Paul Murry in Dell Comics . His first Mickey tale appeared in 1950 but Mickey did not become a speciality until Murry's first serial for Walt Disney's Comics and Stories in 1953 ("The Last Resort"). In the same period Romano Scarpa in Italy for the magazine Topolino began to revitalize Mickey in stories that brought back the Phantom Blot and Eega Beeva along with new creations such as the Atomo Bleep-Bleep. While the stories at Western Publishing during the Silver Age emphasized Mickey as a detective in the style of Sherlock Holmes , in the modern era several editors and creators have consciously undertaken to depict a more vigorous Mickey in the mold of the classic Gottfredson adventures. This reinnasance has been spearheaded by Byron Erickson , David Gerstein , Noel Van Horn , Michael T. Gilbert and Cesar Ferioli . In Europe, Mickey Mouse became the main attraction of a number of comics magazines, the most famous being Topolino in Italy from 1932 on, Le Journal de Mickey in France from 1934 on, and the Greek Miky Maous . Mickey was the main character for the series MM Mickey Mouse Mystery Magazine , published in Italy from 1999 to 2001. Later history Edit On November 18, 1978, in honor of his 50th anniversary, Mickey became the first cartoon character to have a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame . The star is located on 6925 Hollywood Blvd. Melbourne (Australia) runs the annual Moomba festival street procession and appointed Mickey Mouse as their King of Moomba (1977). [24] Although immensely popular with children, there was controversy with the appointment: some Melburnians wanted a 'home-grown' choice, e.g. Blinky Bill ; when it was revealed that Patricia O'Carroll (from Disneyland's Disney on Parade show) was performing the mouse, Australian newspapers reported "Mickey Mouse is really a girl!" [25] Throughout the decades, Mickey Mouse competed with Warner Bros. ' Bugs Bunny for animated popularity. But in 1988, in a historic moment in motion picture history, the two rivals finally shared screen time in the Robert Zemeckis Disney / Amblin film Who Framed Roger Rabbit . Disney and Warner signed an agreement stating that each character had exactly the same amount of screen time, right down to the micro-second. File:Mickey-mouse-bugs-bunny-113.jpg Similar to his animated inclusion into a live-action film on Roger Rabbit, Mickey made a featured cameo appearance in the 1990 television special The Muppets at Walt Disney World where he met Kermit the Frog . The two are established in the story as having been old friends. The Muppets have otherwise spoofed and referenced Mickey over a dozen times since the 1970s. Eventually, The Muppets were purchased by the Walt Disney Company in 2004. Mickey appeared on several animated logos for Walt Disney Home Entertainment , starting with the "Neon Mickey" logo and then to the "Sorcerer Mickey" logos used for regular and Classics release titles. He also appeared on the video boxes in the 1980s. His most recent theatrical cartoon was 1995's short Runaway Brain , while in 1999-2004, he appeared in made-for-video features, like Mickey's Once Upon a Christmas ; Mickey, Donald, Goofy: The Three Musketeers ; and the computer-animated Mickey's Twice Upon a Christmas . Many television programs have centered around Mickey, such as the recent ABC shows Mickey Mouse Works (1999—2000), Disney's House of Mouse (2001—2003) and the Disney Channel's Mickey Mouse Clubhouse (2006–present). Prior to all these, Mickey was also featured as an unseen character in the Bonkers episode "You Oughta Be In Toons". Mickey was the Grand Marshal of the Tournament of Roses Parade on New Year's Day 2005. In the Disney on Ice play, Disney Presents Pixar's The Incredibles in a Magic Kingdom/Disneyland Adventure, Mickey and Minnie are kidnapped by an android replica of Syndrome , who seeks to create "his" own theme park in Walt Disney World/Disneyland's place. They are briefly imprisoned in the Pirates of the Caribbean attraction's prison cell before an assault on the robot Syndrome by the Incredible Family forces "him" to place them in laser prisons, but not without using a flamethrower in a botched attempt to incinerate their would-be superhuman saviors. After the robot Syndrome is congealed by Frozone, Mickey and Minnie are finally liberated, the magic and happiness of the Walt Disney World/Disneyland Resort is restored, and the Incredibles become Mickey and Minnie's newest friends. Mickey has recently been announced to star in two films. One is being based on the Magic Kingdom theme park at the Walt Disney World Resort , while the other is a film idea pitched by Walt Disney Animation Studios veteran Burny Mattinson centering around Mickey, Donald and Goofy. [26] If greenlit, the latter will be the 54th full-length theatrical animated feature in the canon , and the first starring Mickey and his friends. Meeting Mickey Mickey greeting guests at Disneyland Park Mickey regularly appears at the various Disneyland theme parks to greet guests who visit the parks. [27] Video games Like many popular characters, Mickey has starred in many video games , including Mickey Mousecapade on the Nintendo Entertainment System , Mickey Mania: The Timeless Adventures of Mickey Mouse , Mickey's Ultimate Challenge , and Disney's Magical Quest on the Super Nintendo Entertainment System , Castle of Illusion Starring Mickey Mouse on the Mega Drive/Genesis , Mickey Mouse: Magic Wands on the Game Boy , and many others. In the 2000s, the Disney's Magical Quest series were ported to the Game Boy Advance , while Mickey made his sixth generation era debut in Disney's Magical Mirror Starring Mickey Mouse , a Nintendo GameCube title aimed at younger audiences. Mickey plays a major role in the Kingdom Hearts series, as the king of Disney Castle and aide to the protagonist, Sora . King Mickey wields the Keyblade , a weapon in the form of a key that has the power to open any lock and combat darkness. Epic Mickey , featuring a darker version of the Disney universe, was released in 2010 for the Wii . The game is part of an effort by The Walt Disney Company to re-brand the Mickey Mouse character by moving away from his current squeaky clean image and reintroducing the mischievous side of his personality. [4] Toys and games In 1989, Milton Bradley released the electronic-talking game titled Mickey Says, with three modes featuring Mickey Mouse as its host. Mickey also appeared in other toys and games, including the Worlds of Wonder -released Talking Mickey Mouse . Interactive Books Edit The character has gone through some major changes through his existence. The first one happened with The Pointer in 1939 and The Sorcerer's Apprentice section of Fantasia in 1940, where he was given pupils in his eyes, a Caucasian skin colored face, and a pear-shaped body. In the 40's, he changed once more in " The Little Whirlwind ", where he used his trademark pants for the last time in decades, lost his tail, got more realistic ears that changed with perspective and a different body anatomy. But this change would only last for a short period of time before returning to the one in "The Pointer", with the exception of his pants. In his final theatrical cartoons in the 50's, he was given eyebrows, which were removed in the more recent cartoons. Mickey's top trademark is his ears, and they have also become a trademark of the Disney company in general. Basic design of Mickey's ears is two very round ears that are attached to a very round head. Other than the 1940s Mickey, he and Minnie's ears have had the unusual characteristic of always being viewable with the same symmetry despite which direction that their respective head is facing. In other words, the ears are always generally in the same position as they are in a frontal view of the character, and appear to be sideways on their head when facing left or right. A large part of Mickey's screen persona is his famously shy, falsetto voice. From his first speaking role in The Karnival Kid onward, Mickey was voiced by Walt Disney himself, a task in which Disney took great personal pride. (Carl Stalling and Clarence Nash allegedly did some uncredited ADR for Mickey in a few early shorts as well.) However, by 1946, Disney was becoming too busy with running the studio to do regular voice work which means he could not do Mickey's voice anymore (and as it is speculated his cigarette habit had damaged his voice over the years), and during the recording of the Mickey and the Beanstalk section of Fun and Fancy Free , Mickey's voice was handed over to veteran Disney musician and actor Jimmy MacDonald . (Both Disney's and MacDonald's voices can be heard on the final soundtrack.) MacDonald voiced Mickey in the remainder of the theatrical shorts, and for various television and publicity projects up until his retirement in the mid-1970s, although Walt voiced Mickey again for the introductions of the original 1954—1959 The Mickey Mouse Club TV series and the "Fourth Anniversary Show" episode of the Disneyland TV series aired on September 11, 1958. 1983's Mickey's Christmas Carol marked the theatrical debut of the late Wayne Allwine as Mickey Mouse, who was the voice of Mickey until his death in 2009. [28] Allwine was, incidentally, married to Russi Taylor , the current voice of Minnie Mouse . Les Perkins did the voice of Mickey in the TV special Down and Out with Donald Duck released in 1987. Bret Iwan , a former Hallmark greeting card artist, is the current voice of Mickey. His early recordings in 2009 included work for the Disney Cruise Line , Mickey toys, Theme Parks, and also the Disney on Ice: Celebrations! ice show. [29] His first video game voiceover of Mickey Mouse can be found on Kingdom Hearts: Birth by Sleep , a video game for PlayStation Portable. He has also voiced the character in the next games for the Kingdom Hearts series . Bret also does the vocal effects of Mickey in Epic Mickey . Social impact Edit In the United States, protest votes are often made in order to indicate dissatisfaction with the slate of candidates presented on a particular ballot, or to highlight the inadequacies of a particular voting procedure. Since most states' electoral systems do not provide for blank balloting or a choice of " None of the Above ", most protest votes take the form of a clearly non-serious candidate's name entered as a write-in vote Template:Citation needed . Cartoon characters are typically chosen for this purpose Template:Citation needed ; as Mickey Mouse is the best-known and most-recognized character in America, his name is frequently selected for this purpose. (Other popular selections include Donald Duck and Bugs Bunny.) This phenomenon has the humorous effect of causing Mickey Mouse to be a minor but perennial contestant in nearly all U.S. presidential elections . Template:Citation needed A similar phenomenon occurs in the parliament elections in Finland and Sweden , although Finns and Swedes usually write Donald Duck or Donald Duck Party as a protest vote. Mickey Mouse's name has also been known to appear fraudulently on voter registration lists, most recently in the 2008 U.S. Presidential Election . [30] [31] Pejorative use of Mickey's name Edit "Mickey Mouse" is a slang expression meaning small-time, amateurish or trivial. In the UK and Ireland, it also means poor quality or counterfeit. However, in parts of Australia it can mean excellent or very good. [32] In The Godfather Part II , Fredo 's justification of betraying Michael is that his orders in the family usually were "Send Fredo off to do this, send Fredo off to do that! Let Fredo take care of some Mickey Mouse night club somewhere!" as opposed to more meaningful tasks. In an early episode of the 1978-82 sitcom Mork & Mindy , Mork stated that Pluto was "a Mickey Mouse planet," referring to the future dwarf planet having the same name as Mickey's pet dog Pluto . Actually, the planet was named shortly before the dog was. In 1984, just after an ice hockey game in which Wayne Gretzky 's Edmonton Oilers beat the New Jersey Devils 13-4, Gretzky was quoted as saying to a reporter, "Well, it's time they got their act together, they're ruining the whole league. They had better stop running a Mickey Mouse organization and put somebody on the ice." [33] Reacting to Gretzky's comment, Devils fans wore Mickey Mouse apparel when the Oilers returned to New Jersey. In the 1993 Warner Bros. film Demolition Man , as Sylvester Stallone 's character is fighting the malfunctioning AI of his out-of-control police car, he shouts for the system to "Brake! Brake! Brake, now, you Mickey Mouse piece of shit!" [34] In the 1996 Warner Bros. film Space Jam , Bugs Bunny derogatorily referred to Daffy Duck 's idea for the name of their basketball team, asking, "What kind of Mickey Mouse organization would name a team 'The Ducks?'" (This also referenced the Mighty Ducks of Anaheim , a NHL team that was then owned by Disney. This was showing the Disney/Warner Bros. rivalry.) In the United States armed forces, actions that produce good looks, but have little practical use (such as the specific manner of making beds in basic training or the polishing of brass fittings onboard ship) are commonly referred to as "Mickey Mouse work". In schools a "Mickey Mouse course", "Mickey Mouse major", or " Mickey Mouse degree " is a class, college major, or degree where very little effort is necessary in order to attain a good grade (especially an A) and/or one where the subject matter of such a class is not of any importance in the labor market. [35] Musicians often refer to a film score that directly follows each action on screen as Mickey Mousing (also mickey-mousing and mickeymousing). [36] The software company Microsoft has been derogatorily called "Mickeysoft". [37] During World War II , the Motor Minesweepers used by the British Royal Naval Patrol Service were unofficially known as "Mickey Mouses". In the beginning of the 1980s, then-British Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher once called the European Parliament a "Mickey Mouse parliament", meaning a discussion club without influence. [38] In the British sitcom Red Dwarf , in the episode "Quarantine" , after the team's substandard equipment nearly cost them their lives, Lister pointed out, "We're a real Mickey Mouse operation, aren't we?" The Cat replied, "Mickey Mouse? We ain't even Betty Boop !" Parodies and criticism Edit Mickey Mouse was originally portrayed as a minstrel character . From 1929 to well into the 1930s the character of Mickey Mouse was understood and openly described as "minstrel". [39] These portrayals can be seen in early depictions such as the original version of "Steamboat Willie", [40] as well as " Mickey's Mellerdrammer ", the advertising for which featured Mickey in blackface with pronounced facial features understood to resemble caricatures of African-Americans in the 1930s. [41] Mickey Mouse's global fame has made him both a symbol of The Walt Disney Company and as of the United States itself. For this reason Mickey has been used frequently in anti-American satire , such as the infamous underground cartoon " Mickey Mouse in Vietnam ". There have been numerous parodies of Mickey Mouse, such as the Mad Magazine parody "Mickey Rodent" by Will Elder in which the mouse walks around unshaven and jails Donald Duck out of jealousy over the duck's larger popularity. [42] The grotesque Rat Fink character was created by Ed "Big Daddy" Roth over his hatred of Mickey Mouse. In The Simpsons Movie , Bart Simpson puts a black bra on his head to mimic Mickey Mouse and says: "I'm the mascot of an evil corporation!" [43] In the South Park episode " The Ring " Mickey Mouse is depicted as the sadistic, greedy boss of The Walt Disney Company , only interested in money. In an episode of "Full Frontal Nerdity," by Aaron Williams , Mickey is shown as desperately trying to unload Miramax . [44] On September 20, 2008 Sheikh Muhammad Al-Munajid claimed that the sharia considers mice to be harmful vermin and that characters like Mickey Mouse and Jerry from Tom and Jerry are to be blamed for making mice such lovable characters. He issued a fatwā against Mickey, which made international headline news and was the subject of much controversy and ridicule. Sheikh Muhammed Al-Munajid issued a statement afterwards in which he stated that he was misquoted and translated badly. [45] Labor issues In January 1936, Julius Herskowitz, a trade unionist trying to organize a plant that made Mickey Mouse dolls, was beaten by an unknown assailant and his skull was fractured. He had received threats from the owner of his factory. [46] Legal issues Edit A typical style of sign in Walt Disney World , showing one of many uses by Disney of the Mickey ears logo It is sometimes erroneously stated that the Mickey Mouse character is only copyrighted . In fact, the character, like all major Disney characters, is also trademarked , which lasts in perpetuity as long as it continues to be used commercially by its owner. So, whether or not a particular Disney cartoon goes into the public domain , the characters themselves may not be used as trademarks without authorization. However, within the United States, European Union and some other jurisdictions, the Copyright Term Extension Act (sometimes called the 'Mickey Mouse Protection Act' because of extensive lobbying by the Disney corporation) and similar legislation has ensured that works such as the early Mickey Mouse cartoons will remain under copyright until at least 2023. However, some copyright scholars argue that Disney's copyright on the earliest version of the character may be invalid due to ambiguity in the copyright notice for Steamboat Willie . [47] The Walt Disney Company has become well known for protecting its trademark on the Mickey Mouse character, whose likeness is closely associated with the company, with particular zeal. In 1989, Disney threatened legal action against three daycare centers in Florida for having Mickey Mouse and other Disney characters painted on their walls. The characters were removed, and rival Universal Studios replaced them with Universal cartoon characters. [48] Walt Disney Productions v. Air Pirates Edit In 1971, a group of underground cartoonists calling themselves the Air Pirates , after a group of villains from early Mickey Mouse films, produced a comic called Air Pirates Funnies. In the first issue, cartoonist Dan O'Neill depicted Mickey and Minnie Mouse engaging in explicit sexual behavior and consuming drugs. As O'Neill explained, "The air pirates were...some sort of bizarre concept to steal the air, pirate the air, steal the media...Since we were cartoonists, the logical thing was Disney." [49] Rather than change the appearance or name of the character, which O'Neill felt would dilute the parody, the mouse depicted in Air Pirates Funnies looks like and is named "Mickey Mouse". Disney sued for copyright infringement, and after a series of appeals, O'Neill eventually lost and was ordered to pay Disney $1.9 million. The outcome of the case remains controversial amongst free-speech advocates. New York Law School professor Edward Samuels said, "[The Air Pirates] set parody back twenty years." [50] Censorship Edit In 1930, The German Board of Film Censors prohibited showing a Mickey Mouse film because they felt the kepi -wearing mouse negatively portrayed the Germans and would "reawaken the latest anti-German feeling existing abroad since the War". [51] A mid 1930s German newspaper article even stated: "Mickey Mouse is the most miserable ideal ever revealed...Healthy emotions tell every independent young man and every honorable youth that the dirty and filth-covered vermin, the greatest bacteria carrier in the animal kingdom, cannot be the ideal type of animal...Away with Jewish brutalization of the people! Down with Mickey Mouse! Wear the Swastika Cross !" [52] [53] [54] Art Spiegelman used this quote on the opening page of the second volume of his graphic novel Maus . The 1935 Romanian authorities banned Mickey Mouse films from cinemas after they feared that children would be "scared to see a ten-foot mouse in the movie theatre". [55] In 1938, based on the Ministry of Popular Culture's recommendation that a reform was necessary "to raise children in the firm and imperialist spirit of the Fascist revolution," the Italian Government banned foreign children's literature [56] except Mickey; Disney characters were exempted from the decree for the "acknowledged artistic merit" of Disney's work. [57] Actually Mussolini's children were fond of Mickey Mouse, so they managed to delay his ban as long as possible. [58] In 1942, after Italy declared war on the USA, fascism forced the Italian publishers to suddenly stop printing any Disney stories. Mickey's stories were replaced by the adventures of Tuffolino, a new human character created by Federico Pedrocchi (script) and Pier Lorenzo De Vita (art). After the downfall of Italy's fascist government, the ban was removed. Filmography	Buster Keaton
In the 1971 movie Charlie And The Chocolate Factory, Willy Wonka is played by Gene Wilder. Who plays him in the 2005 film Charlie And The Chocolate Factory?	Mickey mouse: Mickey Mouse Mickey mouse For other uses, see Mickey Mouse (disambiguation) . Mickey Mouse Pluto Mickey Mouse is a funny animal cartoon character and the official mascot of The Walt Disney Company . He was created by Walt Disney and Ub Iwerks at the Walt Disney Studios in 1928. An anthropomorphic mouse who typically wears red shorts, large yellow shoes, and white gloves, Mickey has become one of the most recognizable cartoon characters in the world. Mickey first was seen in a single test screening ( Plane Crazy ). Mickey officially debuted in the short film Steamboat Willie (1928), one of the first sound cartoons . He went on to appear in over 130 films, including The Band Concert (1935), Brave Little Tailor (1938), and Fantasia (1940). Mickey appeared primarily in short films, but also occasionally in feature-length films. Ten of Mickey's cartoons were nominated for the Academy Award for Best Animated Short Film , one of which, Lend a Paw , won the award in 1942 . In 1978, Mickey became the first cartoon character to have a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame . Beginning in 1930, Mickey has also been featured extensively as a comic strip character. His self-titled newspaper strip, drawn primarily by Floyd Gottfredson , ran for 45 years. Mickey has also appeared in comic books and in television series such as The Mickey Mouse Club (1955–1996) and others. He also appears in other media such as video games as well as merchandising, and is a meetable character at the Disney parks. Mickey generally appears alongside his girlfriend Minnie Mouse , his pet dog Pluto , his friends Donald Duck , and Goofy , and his nemesis Pete , among others (see Mickey Mouse universe ). Originally characterized as a mischievous antihero , Mickey's increasing popularity led to his being rebranded as an everyman , usually seen as a flawed, but adventurous hero. In 2009, Disney began to rebrand the character again by putting less emphasis on his pleasant, cheerful side and reintroducing the more mischievous and adventurous sides of his personality, beginning with the video game Epic Mickey . [8] Contents 15 External links Origin Concept art of Mickey from early 1928; the sketches are the earliest known drawings of the character, from the collection of The Walt Disney Family Museum . "I only hope that we never lose sight of one thing – that it was all started by a mouse." —Walt Disney, Disneyland ; October 27, 1954 Mickey Mouse was created as a replacement for Oswald the Lucky Rabbit , an earlier cartoon character created by the Disney studio for Charles Mintz , a film producer who distributed product through Universal Studios . [9] In the spring of 1928, with the series going strong, Disney asked Mintz for an increase in the budget. But Mintz instead demanded that Walt take a 20 percent budget cut, and as leverage, he reminded Disney that Universal owned the character, and revealed that he had already signed most of Disney's current employees to his new contract. Angrily, Disney refused the deal and returned to produce the final Oswald cartoons he contractually owed Mintz. Disney was dismayed at the betrayal by his staff, but determined to restart from scratch. The new Disney Studio initially consisted of animator Ub Iwerks and a loyal apprentice artist, Les Clark , who together with Wilfred Jackson were among the few who remained loyal to Walt. One lesson Disney learned from the experience was to thereafter always make sure that he owned all rights to the characters produced by his company. In the spring of 1928, Disney asked Ub Iwerks to start drawing up new character ideas. Iwerks tried sketches of various animals, such as dogs and cats, but none of these appealed to Disney. A female cow and male horse were also rejected. They would later turn up as Clarabelle Cow and Horace Horsecollar . A male frog was also rejected. It would later show up in Iwerks' own Flip the Frog series. [10] Walt Disney got the inspiration for Mickey Mouse from a tame mouse at his desk at Laugh-O-Gram Studio in Kansas City, Missouri. [11] In 1925, Hugh Harman drew some sketches of mice around a photograph of Walt Disney. These inspired Ub Iwerks to create a new mouse character for Disney. [10] " Mortimer Mouse " had been Disney's original name for the character before his wife, Lillian, convinced him to change it, and ultimately Mickey Mouse came to be. [12] [13] The actor Mickey Rooney claimed that, during his Mickey McGuire days, he met cartoonist Walt Disney at the Warner Brothers studio, and that Disney was inspired to name Mickey Mouse after him. [14] This claim however has been debunked by Disney historian Jim Korkis, since at the time of Mickey Mouse's development, Disney Studios had been located on Hyperion Avenue for several years, and Walt Disney never kept an office or other working space at Warner Brothers, having no professional relationship with Warner Brothers, as the Alice Comedies and Oswald cartoons were distributed by Universal. [15] [16] Design Ub Iwerks designed Mickey's body out of circles in order to make the character simple to animate. Disney employees John Hench and Marc Davis believed that this design was part of Mickey's success as it made him more dynamic and appealing to audiences. Mickey's circular design is most noticeable in his ears, which in traditional animation , always appear circular no matter which way Mickey faces. This made Mickey easily recognizable to audiences and made his ears an unofficial personal trademark. Even today, the rudimentary symbol is often used to represent Mickey (see Hidden Mickey ). This later created a dilemma for toy creators who had to recreate a three-dimensional Mickey. In animation in the 1940s Mickey's ears were animated in a more realistic perspective. In 1938, animator Fred Moore redesigned Mickey's body away from its circular design to a pear-shape design. Colleague Ward Kimball praised Moore for being the first animator to break from Mickey's " rubber hose , round circle" design. Although Moore himself was nervous at first about changing Mickey, Walt Disney liked the new design and told Moore "that's the way I want Mickey to be drawn from now on." Each of Mickey's hands has only three fingers and a thumb. Disney said that this was both an artistic and financial decision, explaining "Artistically five digits are too many for a mouse. His hand would look like a bunch of bananas. Financially, not having an extra finger in each of 45,000 drawings that make up a six and one half minute short has saved the Studio millions." In the film The Opry House (1929), Mickey was first given white gloves as a way of contrasting his naturally black hands against his black body. The use of white gloves would prove to be an influential design for cartoon characters, particularly with later Disney characters, but also with non-Disney characters such as Bugs Bunny , Woody Woodpecker , and Mario . Mickey's eyes, as drawn in Plane Crazy and The Gallopin' Gaucho , were large and white with black outlines. In Steamboat Willie the bottom portion of the black outlines were removed, although the upper edges still contrasted with his head. Mickey's eyes were later re-imagined as only consisting of the small black dots which were originally his pupils, while what were the upper edges of his eyes became a hairline. This is evident only when Mickey blinks. Fred Moore later redesigned the eyes to be small white eyes with pupils and gave his face a Caucasian skin tone instead of plain white. This new Mickey first appeared in 1938 on the cover of a party program, and in animation the following year with the release of The Pointer . [17] Mickey is sometimes given eyebrows as seen in The Simple Things (1953) and in the comic strip, although he does not have eyebrows in his most recent appearances. Besides Mickey's gloves and shoes, he typically wears only a pair of shorts with two large buttons in the front. Before Mickey was seen regularly in color animation, Mickey's shorts were either red, or a dull blue-green. With the advent of Mickey's color films, the shorts were always red. When Mickey is not wearing his red shorts, he is often still wearing red clothing such as a red bandmaster coat ( The Band Concert , The Mickey Mouse Club ), red overalls ( Clock Cleaners , Boat Builders ), a red cloak ( Fantasia , Fun and Fancy Free ), a red coat ( Squatter's Rights , Mickey's Christmas Carol ), or a red shirt (Mickey Down Under, The Simple Things ). Animation history Debut (1928) Mickey's first appearance in Steamboat Willie (1928). Disney had Ub Iwerks secretly begin animating a new cartoon while still under contract with Universal. The cartoon was co-directed by Walt Disney and Ub Iwerks. Iwerks was the main animator for the short, and reportedly spent six weeks working on it. In fact, Iwerks was the main animator for every Disney short released in 1928 and 1929. Hugh Harman and Rudolf Ising also assisted Disney during those years. They had already signed their contracts with Charles Mintz, but he was still in the process of forming his new studio and so for the time being they were still employed by Disney. This short would be the last they animated under this somewhat awkward situation. [18] Mickey was first seen in a test screening of the cartoon short Plane Crazy , on May 15, 1928, but it failed to impress the audience and to add insult to injury, Walt could not find a distributor. Though understandably disappointed, Walt went on to produce a second Mickey short, The Gallopin' Gaucho , which was also not released for lack of a distributor. [19] Steamboat Willie was first released on November 18, 1928, in New York. It was co-directed by Walt Disney and Ub Iwerks. Iwerks again served as the head animator, assisted by Johnny Cannon, Les Clark , Wilfred Jackson and Dick Lundy . This short was intended as a parody of Buster Keaton 's Steamboat Bill Jr. , first released on May 12 of the same year. Although it was the third Mickey cartoon produced, it was the first to find a distributor, and thus is considered by The Disney Company as Mickey's debut. Willie featured changes to Mickey's appearance (in particular, simplifying his eyes to large dots) that established his look for later cartoons and in numerous Walt Disney films. [20] [21] The cartoon was not the first cartoon to feature a soundtrack connected to the action. Fleischer Studios , headed by brothers Dave and Max Fleischer , had already released a number of sound cartoons using the DeForest system in the mid-1920s. However, these cartoons did not keep the sound synchronized throughout the film. For Willie, Disney had the sound recorded with a click track that kept the musicians on the beat. This precise timing is apparent during the "Turkey in the Straw" sequence, when Mickey's actions exactly match the accompanying instruments. Animation historians have long debated who had served as the composer for the film's original music. This role has been variously attributed to Wilfred Jackson, Carl Stalling and Bert Lewis, but identification remains uncertain. Walt Disney himself was voice actor for both Mickey and Minnie, and would remain the source of Mickey's voice through 1946 for theatrical cartoons. Jimmy MacDonald took over the role in 1946, but Walt provided Mickey's voice again from 1955 to 1959 for The Mickey Mouse Club television series on ABC . Audiences at the time of Steamboat Willie's release were reportedly impressed by the use of sound for comedic purposes. Sound films or "talkies" were still considered innovative. The first feature-length movie with dialogue sequences, The Jazz Singer starring Al Jolson , was released on October 6, 1927. Within a year of its success, most United States movie theaters had installed sound film equipment. Walt Disney apparently intended to take advantage of this new trend and, arguably, managed to succeed. Most other cartoon studios were still producing silent products and so were unable to effectively act as competition to Disney. As a result Mickey would soon become the most prominent animated character of the time. Walt Disney soon worked on adding sound to both Plane Crazy and The Gallopin' Gaucho (which had originally been silent releases) and their new release added to Mickey's success and popularity. A fourth Mickey short, The Barn Dance, was also put into production; however, Mickey does not actually speak until The Karnival Kid in 1929 when his first spoken words were "Hot dogs, Hot dogs!" After Steamboat Willie was released, Mickey became a close competitor to Felix the Cat , and his popularity would grow as he was continuously featured in sound cartoons. By 1929, Felix would lose popularity among theater audiences, and Pat Sullivan decided to produce all future Felix cartoons in sound as a result. [22] Unfortunately, audiences did not respond well to Felix's transition to sound and by 1930, Felix had faded from the screen. [23] Black and white films (1929–1935) Mickey with Minnie Mouse in Building a Building (1933). In Mickey's early films he was often characterized not as a hero, but as an ineffective young suitor to Minnie Mouse . The Barn Dance (March 14, 1929) is the first time in which Mickey is turned down by Minnie in favor of Pete. The Opry House (March 28, 1929) was the first time in which Mickey wore his white gloves. Mickey wears them in almost all of his subsequent appearances and many other characters followed suit. Supposedly one reason for adding the white gloves was to allow audiences to distinguish the characters' hands when they appeared against their bodies, as both were black. The three lines on the back of Mickey's gloves represent darts in the gloves' fabric extending from between the digits of the hand, typical of glove design of the era. When the Cat's Away (April 18, 1929), essentially a remake of the Alice Comedy , "Alice Rattled by Rats", was an unusual appearance for Mickey. Although Mickey and Minne still maintained their anthropomorphic characteristics, they were depicted as the size of regular mice and living with a community many other mice as pests in a home. Mickey and Minnie would later appear the size of regular humans in their own setting. In appearances with real humans, Mickey has been shown to be about two to three feet high. [24] The next Mickey short was also unusual. The Barnyard Battle (April 25, 1929) was the only film to depict Mickey as a soldier and also the first to place him in combat. The Karnival Kid (1929) was the first time Mickey spoke. Before this he had only whistled, laughed, and grunted. His first words were "Hot dogs! Hot dogs!" said while trying to sell hot dogs at a carnival. Mickey's Follies (1929) introduced the song "Minnie's Yoo-Hoo" which would become the theme song for Mickey Mouse films for the next several years. The "Minnie's Yoo-Hoo" song sequence was also later reused with different background animation as its own special short shown only at the commencement of 1930s theater-based Mickey Mouse Clubs. [25] [26] Mickey's dog Pluto first appeared as Mickey's pet in The Moose Hunt (1931) after previously appearing as Minnie's dog "Rover" in The Picnic (1930). The Cactus Kid (April 11, 1930) was the last film to be animated by Ub Iwerks at Disney. Shortly before the release of the film, Iwerks left to start his own studio, bankrolled by Disney's then-distributor Pat Powers . Powers and Disney had a falling out over money due Disney from the distribution deal. It was in response to losing the right to distribute Disney's cartoons that Powers made the deal with Iwerks, who had long harbored a desire to head his own studio. The departure is considered a turning point in Mickey's career, as well as that of Walt Disney. Walt lost the man who served as his closest colleague and confidant since 1919. Mickey lost the man responsible for his original design and for the direction and/or animation of several of the shorts released till this point. Advertising for the early Mickey Mouse cartoons credited them as "A Walt Disney Comic, drawn by Ub Iwerks". Later Disney Company reissues of the early cartoons tend to credit Walt Disney alone. Disney and his remaining staff continued the production of the Mickey series, and he was able to eventually find a number of animators to replace Iwerks. As the Great Depression progressed and Felix the Cat faded from the movie screen, Mickey's popularity would rise, and by 1932 The Mickey Mouse Club would have one million members. [27] At the 5th Academy Awards in 1932, Mickey received his first Academy Award nomination, received for Mickey's Orphans (1931). Walt Disney also received an honorary Academy Award for the creation of Mickey Mouse. Despite being eclipsed by the Silly Symphonies short the Three Little Pigs in 1933, Mickey still maintained great popularity among theater audiences too, until 1935, when polls showed that Popeye was more popular than Mickey. [28] [29] [30] By 1934, Mickey merchandise had earned $600,000.00 a year. [31] In 1935, Disney began to phase out the Mickey Mouse Clubs, due to administration problems. [32] About this time, story artists at Disney were finding it increasingly difficult to write material for Mickey. As he had developed into a role model for children, they were limited in the types of gags they could make. This led to Mickey taking more of a secondary role in some of his next films allowing for more emphasis on other characters. In Orphan's Benefit (August 11, 1934) Mickey first appeared with Donald Duck who had been introduced earlier that year in the Silly Symphonies series. The tempestuous duck would provide Disney with seemingly endless story ideas and would remain a recurring character in Mickey's cartoons. Color films (1935–1953) Mickey in The Band Concert (1935). Mickey first appeared animated in color in Parade of the Award Nominees in 1932, however the film strip was created for the 5th Academy Awards ceremony and was not released to the public. Mickey's official first color film came in 1935 with The Band Concert . The Technicolor film process was used in the film production. Here Mickey conducted the William Tell Overture, but the band is swept up by a tornado. It is said that conductor Arturo Toscanini so loved this short that, upon first seeing it, he asked the projectionist to run it again. In 1994, The Band Concert was voted the third-greatest cartoon of all time in a poll of animation professionals. By colorizing and partially redesigning Mickey, Walt would put Mickey back on top once again, and Mickey would reach popularity he never reached before as audiences now gave him more appeal. [33] Also in 1935, Walt would receive a special award from the League of Nations for creating Mickey. However, by 1938, the more manic Donald Duck would surpass the passive Mickey, resulting in a redesign of the mouse between 1938 and 1940 that put Mickey at the peak of his popularity. [33] The second half of the 1930s saw the character Goofy reintroduced as a series regular. Together, Mickey, Donald Duck, and Goofy would go on several adventures together. Several of the films by the comic trio are some of Mickey's most critically acclaimed films, including Mickey's Fire Brigade (1935), Moose Hunters (1937), Clock Cleaners (1937), Lonesome Ghosts (1937), Boat Builders (1938), and Mickey's Trailer (1938). Also during this era, Mickey would star in Brave Little Tailor (1938), an adaptation of The Valiant Little Tailor , which was nominated for an Academy Award. Mickey was redesigned by animator Fred Moore which was first seen in The Pointer (1939). Instead of having solid black eyes, Mickey was given white eyes with pupils, a Caucasian skin colored face, and a pear-shaped body. In the 40's, he changed once more in The Little Whirlwind , where he used his trademark pants for the last time in decades, lost his tail, got more realistic ears that changed with perspective and a different body anatomy. But this change would only last for a short period of time before returning to the one in "The Pointer", with the exception of his pants. In his final theatrical cartoons in the 1950s, he was given eyebrows, which were removed in the more recent cartoons. Mickey in Fantasia (1940). In 1940 Mickey appeared in his first feature-length film, Fantasia . His screen role as The Sorcerer's Apprentice , set to the symphonic poem of the same name by Paul Dukas , is perhaps the most famous segment of the film and one of Mickey's most iconic roles. The segment features no dialogue at all, only the music. The apprentice (Mickey), not willing to do his chores, puts on the sorcerer's magic hat after the sorcerer goes to bed and casts a spell on a broom, which causes the broom to come to life and perform the most tiring chore—filling up a deep well using two buckets of water. When the well eventually overflows, Mickey finds himself unable to control the broom, leading to a near-flood. After the segment ends, Mickey is seen in silhouette shaking hands with Leopold Stokowski , who conducts all the music heard in Fantasia. Mickey has often been pictured in the red robe and blue sorcerer's hat in merchandising. It was also featured into the climax of Fantasmic! , an attraction at the Disney theme parks. After 1940, Mickey's popularity would decline until his 1955 re-emergence as a daily children's television personality. [34] Despite this, the character continued to appear regularly in animated shorts until 1943 (winning his only competitive Academy Award—with canine companion Pluto —for a short subject, Lend a Paw) and again from 1946 to 1952. The last regular installment of the Mickey Mouse film series came in 1953 with The Simple Things in which Mickey and Pluto go fishing and are pestered by a flock of seagulls. Television and later films Mickey with his Warner Bros. counterpart Bugs Bunny in Who Framed Roger Rabbit (1988). In the 1950s, Mickey became more known for his appearances on television, particularly with The Mickey Mouse Club. Many of his theatrical cartoon shorts were rereleased on television series such as Ink & Paint Club, various forms of the Walt Disney anthology television series , and on home video. Mickey returned to theatrical animation in 1983 with Mickey's Christmas Carol , an adaptation of Charles Dickens ' A Christmas Carol in which Mickey played Bob Cratchit . This was followed up in 1990 with The Prince and the Pauper . Throughout the decades, Mickey Mouse competed with Warner Bros. ' Bugs Bunny for animated popularity. But in 1988, in a historic moment in motion picture history, the two rivals finally shared screen time in the Robert Zemeckis Disney / Amblin film Who Framed Roger Rabbit . Disney and Warner signed an agreement stating that each character had exactly the same amount of screen time in the scene, right down to the frame. Similar to his animated inclusion into a live-action film on Roger Rabbit, Mickey made a featured cameo appearance in the 1990 television special The Muppets at Walt Disney World where he met Kermit the Frog . The two are established in the story as having been old friends. The Muppets have otherwise spoofed and referenced Mickey over a dozen times since the 1970s. Eventually, The Muppets were purchased by the Walt Disney Company in 2004. Mickey in Disney's House of Mouse (2001–2003). Mickey appeared on several animated logos for Walt Disney Home Entertainment , starting with the "Neon Mickey" logo and then to the "Sorcerer Mickey" logos used for regular and Classics release titles. His most recent theatrical cartoon short was 2013's Get A Horse! which was preceded by 1995's Runaway Brain , while from 1999 to 2004, he appeared in direct-to-video features like Mickey's Once Upon a Christmas , Mickey, Donald, Goofy: The Three Musketeers and the computer-animated Mickey's Twice Upon a Christmas . Many television series have centered around Mickey, such as the ABC shows Mickey Mouse Works (1999—2000), Disney's House of Mouse (2001—2003) and Disney Channel 's Mickey Mouse Clubhouse (2006–present). Prior to all these, Mickey was also featured as an unseen character in the Bonkers episode "You Oughta Be In Toons". Mickey has recently been announced to star in two films. One is being based on the Magic Kingdom theme park at the Walt Disney World Resort , while the other is a film idea pitched by Walt Disney Animation Studios veteran Burny Mattinson centering around Mickey, Donald and Goofy. [35] Since June 28, 2013, Disney Channel has been airing new 3-minute Mickey Mouse shorts. In these new shorts, Mickey has a more modern appearance, but his appearance is also very close to his original 1928 look. [36] Voice actors Walt Disney, the co-creator of Mickey Mouse and founder of The Walt Disney Company , was the original voice of Mickey. A large part of Mickey's screen persona is his famously shy, falsetto voice. From his first speaking role in the 1929 short The Karnival Kid onward, Mickey was voiced by Walt Disney himself, a task in which Disney took great personal pride (with composer Carl Stalling and Clarence Nash of Donald Duck fame standing-in on few occasions). However, by 1946, Disney was becoming too busy with running the studio to do regular voice work which meant he could not do Mickey's voice anymore (and as it is speculated his cigarette habit had damaged his voice over the years), and during the recording of the Mickey and the Beanstalk section of Fun and Fancy Free , Mickey's voice was handed over to veteran Disney musician and actor Jimmy MacDonald . (Both Disney's and MacDonald's voices can be heard on the final soundtrack.) MacDonald voiced Mickey in the remainder of the theatrical shorts, and for various television and publicity projects up until his retirement in the mid-1970s, although Walt voiced Mickey again for the introductions to the original 1954—1959 run of The Mickey Mouse Club TV series and the "Fourth Anniversary Show" episode of the Disneyland TV series aired on September 11, 1958. Clarence Nash voiced Mickey in the 1934 Disney short, The Dognapper , which it makes the first and only time Nash voices him, around that time when it was filmed, Walt was traveling in Europe and was unavailable to record his lines for Mickey for the short. Alan Young voiced Mickey in the Disneyland record album An Adaptation of Dickens' Christmas Carol, Performed by The Walt Disney Players in 1974, which it would be the first and only time that Alan Young voices him. [37] [38] The 1983 short film Mickey's Christmas Carol marked the theatrical debut of the late Wayne Allwine as Mickey Mouse, who was the voice of Mickey until his death in 2009. [39] Allwine once recounted something MacDonald had told him about voicing Mickey: "The main piece of advice that Jim gave me about Mickey helped me keep things in perspective. He said, 'Just remember kid, you’re only filling in for the boss.' And that’s the way he treated doing Mickey for years and years. From Walt, and now from Jimmy." [40] Allwine would eventually marry Russi Taylor , the voice of Minnie Mouse since 1986. Les Perkins did the voice of Mickey in two TV specials "Down and Out with Donald Duck" and "DTV Valentine" in the mid-1980s. Peter Renaday voiced Mickey in the 1980s Disney albums Mickey Mouse Splashdance and Yankee Dootle Mickey. [41] [42] He also provided his voice for The Talking Mickey Mouse toy in 1986. [43] [44] Bret Iwan , a former Hallmark greeting card artist, is the current voice of Mickey. His early recordings in 2009 included work for the Disney Cruise Line , Mickey toys, Theme Parks, and also the Disney on Ice: Celebrations! ice show. [45] His first video game voice-over of Mickey Mouse can be found on Kingdom Hearts: Birth by Sleep , a video game for PlayStation Portable. He has also voiced the character in the next games for the Kingdom Hearts series . Iwan also does the vocal effects of Mickey in the games Epic Mickey and Epic Mickey 2: The Power of Two as well as the remake of Castle of Illusion . Despite Iwan being Mickey's primary voice actor, the character's voice is provided by Chris Diamantopoulos in the 2013 animated series , [46] as the producers were looking for a retro voice to match the vintage look of the series. [47] Mickey in comics Main article: Mickey Mouse and Friends (comic book) Mickey and Horace Horsecollar from the Mickey Mouse daily strip; created by Floyd Gottfredson and published December 1932. Mickey first appeared in comics after he had appeared in 15 commercially successful animated shorts and was easily recognized by the public. Walt Disney was approached by King Features Syndicate with the offer to license Mickey and his supporting characters for use in a comic strip. Disney accepted and Mickey made his first comic strip appearance on January 13, 1930. The comical plot was credited to Disney himself, art to Ub Iwerks and inking to Win Smith . The first week or so of the strip featured a loose adaptation of "Plane Crazy". Minnie soon became the first addition to the cast. The strips first released between January 13, 1930, and March 31, 1930, has been occasionally reprinted in comic book form under the collective title "Lost on a Desert Island". Animation historian Jim Korkis notes "After the eighteenth strip, Iwerks left and his inker, Win Smith, continued drawing the gag-a-day format..." [48] In early 1930, after Iwerks' departure, Disney was at first content to continue scripting the Mickey Mouse comic strip, assigning the art to Win Smith. However, Disney's focus had always been in animation and Smith was soon assigned with the scripting as well. Smith was apparently discontent at the prospect of having to script, draw, and ink a series by himself as evidenced by his sudden resignation. Disney then searched for a replacement among the remaining staff of the Studio. He selected Floyd Gottfredson , a recently hired employee. At the time Gottfredson was reportedly eager to work in animation and somewhat reluctant to accept his new assignment. Disney had to assure him the assignment was only temporary and that he would eventually return to animation. Gottfredson accepted and ended up holding this "temporary" assignment from May 5, 1930, to November 15, 1975. Walt Disney's last script for the strip appeared May 17, 1930. [48] Gottfredson's first task was to finish the storyline Disney had started on April 1, 1930. The storyline was completed on September 20, 1930, and later reprinted in comic book form as Mickey Mouse in Death Valley. This early adventure expanded the cast of the strip which to this point only included Mickey and Minnie. Among the characters who had their first comic strip appearances in this story were Clarabelle Cow, Horace Horsecollar and Black Pete as well as the debuts of corrupted lawyer Sylvester Shyster and Minnie's uncle Mortimer Mouse . The Death Valley narrative was followed by Mr. Slicker and the Egg Robbers, first printed between September 22 and December 26, 1930, which introduced Marcus Mouse and his wife as Minnie's parents. Starting with these two early comic strip stories, Mickey's versions in animation and comics are considered to have diverged from each other. While Disney and his cartoon shorts would continue to focus on comedy , the comic strip effectively combined comedy and adventure. This adventurous version of Mickey would continue to appear in comic strips and later comic books throughout the 20th and into the 21st century. Floyd Gottfredson left his mark with stories such as Mickey Mouse Joins the Foreign Legion (1936) and The Gleam (1942). He also created the Phantom Blot , Eega Beeva , Morty and Ferdie, Captain Churchmouse, and Butch. Besides Gottfredson artists for the strip over the years included Roman Arambula, Rick Hoover, Manuel Gonzales , Carson Van Osten , Jim Engel, Bill Wright, Ted Thwailes and Daan Jippes ; writers included Ted Osborne , Merrill De Maris , Bill Walsh , Dick Shaw, Roy Williams , Del Connell, and Floyd Norman . The next artist to leave his mark on the character was Paul Murry in Dell Comics . His first Mickey tale appeared in 1950 but Mickey did not become a speciality until Murry's first serial for Walt Disney's Comics and Stories in 1953 ("The Last Resort"). In the same period Romano Scarpa in Italy for the magazine Topolino began to revitalize Mickey in stories that brought back the Phantom Blot and Eega Beeva along with new creations such as the Atomo Bleep-Bleep. While the stories at Western Publishing during the Silver Age emphasized Mickey as a detective in the style of Sherlock Holmes , in the modern era several editors and creators have consciously undertaken to depict a more vigorous Mickey in the mold of the classic Gottfredson adventures. This renaissance has been spearheaded by Byron Erickson , David Gerstein , Noel Van Horn , Michael T. Gilbert and César Ferioli . In Europe, Mickey Mouse became the main attraction of a number of comics magazines, the most famous being Topolino in Italy from 1932 on, Le Journal de Mickey in France from 1934 on, Don Miki in Spain and the Greek Miky Maous . Mickey was the main character for the series MM Mickey Mouse Mystery Magazine , published in Italy from 1999 to 2001. In 1958, Mickey Mouse was introduced to the Arab world through another comic book called “Sameer”. Mickey Mouse became so popular in Egypt that he got a comic book with his name. Mickey’s comics in Egypt are licensed by Disney and were published since 1959 by “Dar Al-Hilal” and they were a big hit, but unfortunately Dar Al-Hilal stopped the publication in 2003 because of problems with Disney, luckily the comics were re-released by "Nahdat Masr" in 2004 and the first issues were sold out in less than 8 hours. [49] Merchandising A 1933 Ingersoll Mickey Mouse wrist watch. Since his early years Mickey Mouse has been licensed by Disney to appear on many different kinds of merchandise. Mickey was produced as plush toys and figurines, and Mickey's image has graced almost everything from T-shirts to lunch boxes. Largely responsible for Disney merchandising in the 1930s was Kay Kamen (d. 1949) who was called a "stickler for quality." Kamen was recognized by The Walt Disney Company as having a significant part in Mickey's rise to stardom and was named a Disney Legend in 1998. [50] Mickey was most famously featured on wrist watches and alarm clocks, typically utilizing his hands as the actual hands on the face of the clock. The first Mickey Mouse watches were manufactured in 1933 by the Ingersoll Watch Company . The seconds were indicated by a turning disk below Mickey. The first Mickey watch was sold at the Century of Progress in Chicago, 1933 for $3.75. Mickey Mouse watches have been sold by other companies and designers throughout the years, including Timex , Elgin, Helbros, Bradley, Lorus, and Gérald Genta [51] The fictional character Robert Langdon from Dan Brown's novels was said to wear a Mickey Mouse watch as a reminder "to stay young at heart." [52] In 1989, Milton Bradley released the electronic-talking game titled Mickey Says, with three modes featuring Mickey Mouse as its host. Mickey also appeared in other toys and games, including the Worlds of Wonder -released The Talking Mickey Mouse . Fisher-Price has recently produced a line of talking animatronic Mickey dolls including "Dance Star Mickey" (2010) [53] and "Rock Star Mickey" (2011). [54] Mickey at the Disney parks Minnie and Mickey at Hong Kong Disneyland (left) and Mickey's house at Mickey's Toontown (right) As the official Walt Disney mascot, Mickey has played a central role in the Disney parks since the opening of Disneyland in 1955. As with other characters, Mickey is often portrayed by a non-speaking costumed actor. In this form he has participated in ceremonies and countless parades. A popular activity with guests is getting to meet and pose for photographs with the mouse. As of the presidency of Barack Obama (who jokingly referred to him as "a world leader who has bigger ears than me") [55] Mickey has met every U.S. President since Harry Truman , with the exception of Lyndon B. Johnson . [56] Mickey also features in several specific attractions at the Disney parks. Mickey's Toontown (Disneyland and Tokyo Disneyland ) is a themed land which is a recreation of Mickey's neighborhood. Buildings are built in a cartoon style and guests can visit Mickey or Minnie's houses, Donald Duck's boat, or Goofy's garage. This is a common place to meet the characters. [57] Mickey's PhilharMagic (Magic Kingdom, Tokyo Disneyland, Hong Kong Disneyland ) is a 4D film which features Mickey in the familiar role of symphony conductor. At Main Street Cinema several of Mickey's short films are shown on a rotating basis; the sixth film is always Steamboat Willie . Mickey plays a central role in Fantasmic! ( Disneyland Resort , Disney's Hollywood Studios ) a live nighttime show which famously features Mickey in his role as the Sorcerer's Apprentice . Mickey was also a central character in the now defunct Mickey Mouse Revue (Magic Kingdom, Tokyo Disneyland) which was an indoor show featuring animatronic characters. Mickey's face currently graces the Mickey's Fun Wheel at Disney California Adventure Park , where a figure of him also stands on top of Silly Symphony Swings . In addition to Mickey's overt presence in the parks, numerous images of him are also subtly included in sometimes unexpected places. This phenomenon is known as " Hidden Mickey ", involving hidden images in Disney films, theme parks and merchandise. Mickey in video games Like many popular characters, Mickey has starred in many video games , including Mickey Mousecapade on the Nintendo Entertainment System , Mickey Mania: The Timeless Adventures of Mickey Mouse , Mickey's Ultimate Challenge , and Disney's Magical Quest on the Super Nintendo Entertainment System , Castle of Illusion Starring Mickey Mouse on the Mega Drive/Genesis , Mickey Mouse: Magic Wands! on the Game Boy , and many others. In the 2000s, the Disney's Magical Quest series were ported to the Game Boy Advance , while Mickey made his sixth generation era debut in Disney's Magical Mirror Starring Mickey Mouse , a Nintendo GameCube title aimed at younger audiences. Mickey plays a major role in the Kingdom Hearts series, as the king of Disney Castle and aide to the protagonist, Sora . King Mickey wields the Keyblade , a weapon in the form of a key that has the power to open any lock and combat darkness. Epic Mickey , featuring a darker version of the Disney universe, was released in 2010 for the Wii . The game is part of an effort by The Walt Disney Company to re-brand the Mickey Mouse character by moving away from his current squeaky clean image and reintroducing the mischievous side of his personality. [8] Awards and honors Mickey Mouse has received ten nominations for the Academy Award for Best Animated Short Film . These are Mickey's Orphans (1931), Building a Building (1933), Brave Little Tailor (1938), The Pointer (1939), Lend a Paw (1941), Squatter's Rights (1946), Mickey and the Seal (1948), Mickey's Christmas Carol (1983), Runaway Brain (1995), and Get a Horse! (2013). Among these, Lend a Paw was the only film to actually win the award. Additionally, in 1932 Walt Disney received an honorary Academy Award in recognition of Mickey's creation and popularity. In 1994, four of Mickey's cartoons were included in the book The 50 Greatest Cartoons which listed the greatest cartoons of all time as voted by members of the animation field. The films were The Band Concert (#3), Steamboat Willie (#13), Brave Little Tailor (#26), and Clock Cleaners (#27). On November 18, 1978, in honor of his 50th anniversary, Mickey became the first cartoon character to have a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame . The star is located on 6925 Hollywood Blvd. Melbourne (Australia) runs the annual Moomba festival street procession and appointed Mickey Mouse as their King of Moomba (1977). [58] Although immensely popular with children, there was controversy with the appointment: some Melburnians wanted a 'home-grown' choice, e.g. Blinky Bill ; when it was revealed that Patricia O'Carroll (from Disneyland's Disney on Parade show) was performing the mouse, Australian newspapers reported "Mickey Mouse is really a girl!" [59] Mickey was the Grand Marshal of the Tournament of Roses Parade on New Year's Day 2005. He was the first cartoon character to receive the honor, and only the second fictional character after Kermit the Frog in 1996. Social impact Use in politics In the United States, protest votes are often made in order to indicate dissatisfaction with the slate of candidates presented on a particular ballot, or to highlight the inadequacies of a particular voting procedure. Since most states' electoral systems do not provide for blank balloting or a choice of " None of the Above ", most protest votes take the form of a clearly non-serious candidate's name entered as a write-in vote . Mickey Mouse is often selected for this purpose. [60] [61] As an election supervisor in Georgia observed, "If [Mickey Mouse] doesn’t get votes in our election, it’s a bad election." [62] The earliest known mention of Mickey Mouse as a write-in candidate dates back to the 1932 New York City mayoral elections . [63] Mickey Mouse's name has also been known to appear fraudulently on voter registration lists, most recently in the 2008 U.S. Presidential Election . [64] [65] Pejorative use of Mickey's name "Mickey Mouse" is a slang expression meaning small-time, amateurish or trivial. In the UK and Ireland, it also means poor quality or counterfeit. However, in parts of Australia it can mean excellent or very good (rhyming slang for "grouse"). [66] In The Godfather Part II , Fredo 's justification of betraying Michael is that his orders in the family usually were "Send Fredo off to do this, send Fredo off to do that! Let Fredo take care of some Mickey Mouse night club somewhere!" as opposed to more meaningful tasks. In an early episode of the 1978–82 sitcom Mork & Mindy , Mork stated that Pluto was "a Mickey Mouse planet," referring to the future dwarf planet having the same name as Mickey's pet dog Pluto . Actually, the planet was named shortly before the dog was. In 1984, just after an ice hockey game in which Wayne Gretzky 's Edmonton Oilers beat the New Jersey Devils 13–4, Gretzky was quoted as saying to a reporter, "Well, it's time they got their act together, they're ruining the whole league. They had better stop running a Mickey Mouse organization and put somebody on the ice". Reacting to Gretzky's comment, Devils fans wore Mickey Mouse apparel when the Oilers returned to New Jersey. [67] In the 1993 Warner Bros. film Demolition Man , as Sylvester Stallone 's character is fighting the malfunctioning AI of his out-of-control police car, he shouts for the system to "Brake! Brake! Brake now, you Mickey Mouse piece of shit!" [68] In the 1996 Warner Bros. film Space Jam , Bugs Bunny derogatorily comments on Daffy Duck 's idea for the name of their basketball team, asking: "What kind of Mickey Mouse organization would name a team 'The Ducks?'" (This also referenced the Mighty Ducks of Anaheim , a NHL team that was then owned by Disney, as well as the Disney-made "The Mighty Ducks" movie franchise. This was referencing the Disney/Warner Brothers rivalry.) In the United States armed forces, actions that look good but have little or no practical use (such as the specific manner of making beds in basic training or the polishing of brass fittings onboard ship) are commonly referred to as "Mickey Mouse work". In schools a "Mickey Mouse course", "Mickey Mouse major", or " Mickey Mouse degree " is a class, college major, or degree where very little effort is necessary in order to attain a good grade (especially an A) and/or one where the subject matter of such a class is not of any importance in the labor market. [69] Musicians often refer to a film score that directly follows each action on screen as Mickey Mousing (also mickey-mousing and mickeymousing). [70] The software company Microsoft has been derogatorily called "Mickeysoft". [71] During World War II, the Motor Minesweepers used by the British Royal Naval Patrol Service were unofficially known as "Mickey Mouses". In the beginning of the 1980s, then-British Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher once called the European Parliament a "Mickey Mouse parliament", meaning a discussion club without influence. [72] In the British sitcom Red Dwarf , in the episode "Quarantine" , after the team's substandard equipment nearly cost them their lives, Lister pointed out, "We're a real Mickey Mouse operation, aren't we?" The Cat replied, "Mickey Mouse? We ain't even Betty Boop !" The combined road course at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway used for the F1 U.S. Grand Prix has been described by Jacques Villeneuve and other competitors as "Mickey Mouse" [73] due to its slow uninteresting corners, and lack of challenging corners. Parodies and criticism "Copying is not theft!" badge with a character resembling Mickey Mouse is a visual pun on Mickey as a symbol of the IP industry and its attitude towards copyright infringement. Mickey Mouse's global fame has made him both a symbol of The Walt Disney Company and of the United States itself. For this reason Mickey has been used frequently in anti-American satire , such as the infamous underground cartoon " Mickey Mouse in Vietnam ". There have been numerous parodies of Mickey Mouse, such as the Mad Magazine parody "Mickey Rodent" by Will Elder in which the mouse walks around unshaven and jails Donald Duck out of jealousy over the duck's larger popularity. [74] The grotesque Rat Fink character was created by Ed "Big Daddy" Roth over his hatred of Mickey Mouse. In The Simpsons Movie , Bart Simpson puts a black bra on his head to mimic Mickey Mouse and says: "I'm the mascot of an evil corporation !" [75] On the Comedy Central series South Park , Mickey is depicted as the sadistic, greedy, foul-mouthed boss of The Walt Disney Company , only interested in money. He also appears briefly with Donald Duck in the comic Squeak the Mouse of the Italian cartoonist Massimo Mattioli . In an episode of "Full Frontal Nerdity," by Aaron Williams , Mickey is shown as desperately trying to unload Miramax . [76] In Bored of the Rings , Mickey Mouse is satirized as Dickey Dragon. Legal issues It is sometimes erroneously stated that the Mickey Mouse character is only copyrighted .[ citation needed ] In fact, the character, like all major Disney characters, is also trademarked , which lasts in perpetuity as long as it continues to be used commercially by its owner. So, whether or not a particular Disney cartoon goes into the public domain , the characters themselves may not be used as trademarks without authorization. Because of the Copyright Term Extension Act of the United States (sometimes called the 'Mickey Mouse Protection Act' because of extensive lobbying by the Disney corporation) and similar legislation within the European Union and other jurisdictions where copyright terms have been extended, works such as the early Mickey Mouse cartoons will remain under copyright until at least 2023. However, some copyright scholars argue that Disney's copyright on the earliest version of the character may be invalid due to ambiguity in the copyright notice for Steamboat Willie . [77] The Walt Disney Company has become well known for protecting its trademark on the Mickey Mouse character, whose likeness is closely associated with the company, with particular zeal. In 1989, Disney threatened legal action against three daycare centers in Florida for having Mickey Mouse and other Disney characters painted on their walls. The characters were removed, and rival Universal Studios replaced them with Universal cartoon characters. [78] Walt Disney Productions v. Air Pirates In 1971, a group of underground cartoonists calling themselves the Air Pirates , after a group of villains from early Mickey Mouse films, produced a comic called Air Pirates Funnies. In the first issue, cartoonist Dan O'Neill depicted Mickey and Minnie Mouse engaging in explicit sexual behavior and consuming drugs. As O'Neill explained, "The air pirates were...some sort of bizarre concept to steal the air, pirate the air, steal the media...Since we were cartoonists, the logical thing was Disney." [79] Rather than change the appearance or name of the character, which O'Neill felt would dilute the parody, the mouse depicted in Air Pirates Funnies looks like and is named "Mickey Mouse". Disney sued for copyright infringement, and after a series of appeals, O'Neill eventually lost and was ordered to pay Disney $1.9 million. The outcome of the case remains controversial among free-speech advocates. New York Law School professor Edward Samuels said, "[The Air Pirates] set parody back twenty years." [80] Censorship In 1930, The German Board of Film Censors prohibited showing a Mickey Mouse film, The Barnyard Battle (1929). The cartoon, pitting the mouse as a kepi -wearing World War I soldier against cat enemies in German helmets, was felt to negatively portray the Germans. It was claimed that the film would "reawaken the latest anti-German feeling existing abroad since the War". [81] The Barnyard Battle incident did not reflect wider anti-Mickey sentiment in Germany in 1930. But after coming to power several years later, the later Nazi regime unambiguously propagandized against Disney. A mid-1930s Nazi German newspaper article read: "Mickey Mouse is the most miserable ideal ever revealed...Healthy emotions tell every independent young man and every honorable youth that the dirty and filth-covered vermin, the greatest bacteria carrier in the animal kingdom, cannot be the ideal type of animal...Away with Jewish brutalization of the people! Down with Mickey Mouse! Wear the Swastika Cross !" [82] [83] [84] Art Spiegelman used this quote on the opening page of the second volume of his graphic novel Maus . The 1935 Romanian authorities banned Mickey Mouse films from cinemas after they feared that children would be "scared to see a ten-foot mouse in the movie theatre". [85] In 1938, based on the Ministry of Popular Culture 's recommendation that a reform was necessary "to raise children in the firm and imperialist spirit of the Fascist revolution," the Italian Government banned foreign children's literature [86] except Mickey; Disney characters were exempted from the decree for the "acknowledged artistic merit" of Disney's work. [87] Actually Mussolini's children were fond of Mickey Mouse, so they managed to delay his ban as long as possible. [88] In 1942, after Italy declared war on the US, fascism forced the Italian publishers to suddenly stop printing any Disney stories. Mickey's stories were replaced by the adventures of Tuffolino, a new human character created by Federico Pedrocchi (script) and Pier Lorenzo De Vita (art). After the downfall of Italy's fascist government, the ban was removed. Filmography Main article: List of Mickey Mouse films and appearances Mickey has been announced to star in two films.

(Photo: Bill Luster, USA TODAY Sports) Story Highlights Rosie Napravnik, Kevin Krigger and Gary Stevens add inspirational subplots to Derby Napravnik aims to become first woman jockey to win Kentucky Derby Kevin Krigger sees history all around in his attempt to take the race LOUISVILLE -- Rosie Napravnik started her week with a profile on the TV show 60 Minutes, and now awaits a two-minute race that could make her the first female jockey to win the Kentucky Derby. Kevin Krigger can become the first African American to ride a Derby winner since 1902. And after seven years of broadcasting and acting, Hall of Famer Gary Stevens is out of retirement and back in the saddle. The horses, including highly regarded Orb and Verrazano, will do the running in Saturday's 139th Derby. But the jockeys won't just be along for the ride. Their skills and savvy will be put to the test from start to finish over the 11/4-mile course at Churchill Downs. ROAD TO THE DERBY: Latest point standings The riders all have stories. But this year's mix is enriched by the trailblazing possibilities for Napravnik and Krigger, potential inspiration for others to follow. Stevens, 50, is an inspiration, too, for any aging ex-athlete who has ever wanted to scratch the itch to give it one more shot. Their back stories won't mean a thing once the gate opens. But for Napravnik, Krigger and Stevens, the opportunities will be there to add compelling next chapters. ROSIE NAPRAVNIK Anna Rose Napravnik was listed in the race program as A.R. Napravnik when she started her career as a teenager at Delaware Park in 2005. A trainer suggested that listing so as not to advertise she was female and perhaps diminish her opportunities to get mounts. "He said, 'We can't let anybody know that you're a girl,'" says Napravnik, 25. The secret is out. Napravnik has more than 1,500 career wins. Last year, she became the first female rider to win the Kentucky Oaks, on the Friday before the Derby. In her only Derby appearance in 2011, Napravnik's ninth-place finish on Pants On Fire was the best result ever by a female jockey in the race. Diane Crump made history in 1969 as the first female jockey in a parimutuel race in North America. In 1993, Julie Krone became the only woman to win a Triple Crown race, capturing the Belmont Stakes. Napravnik salutes them. "I have not gone through nearly what they had to go through. ... They were the pioneers," she says. Her chances of making history in the Derby were diminished in late March when her horse, Shanghai Bobby, suffered a hip injury that took him out of consideration for Saturday's race. Instead, Napravnik will ride Mylute, trained by Tom Amoss. Napravnik has been nothing if not resolute. Consider her history of broken bones. "I started out with my left collarbone, and then I broke my thoracic spine, and then I broke my wrist the first time," she says. "I do feel as though I've been extremely lucky. Every injury has been a broken bone, and broken bones heal." (Photo: Bill Luster, USA TODAY Sports) KEVIN KRIGGER Kevin Krigger is on a winning team for the Kentucky Derby. The 29-year-old, born on St. Croix in the U.S. Virgin Islands, will be riding Goldencents, co-owned by coach Rick Pitino of Louisville's NCAA basketball championship team and trained by Doug O'Neill, who won the Derby last year. African-American jockeys won 15 Derby titles between the first race in 1875 and Jimmy Winkfield's victory in 1902. Racial segregation ensued. No African American has won the Derby since then. The most recent African American to ride in the Derby was Marlon St. Julien, a Louisiana native who placed seventh in 2000. Krigger said Tuesday that his focus was on finishing first. "Well, point blank, winning the Derby is history," he says. "Winning the Derby for my first time is history. Doug O'Neill winning his second consecutive Derby is history. Me being African American (and winning) is history. Every stipulation that I have going for me is historical, so it's just a part of winning the Derby." Krigger got his riding start at the age of 5 on St. Croix aboard a horse owned by a neighbor. He came to the USA as a teenager, began his career in Ohio and rides on the Southern California circuit, where he steered Goldencents to victory in the Santa Anita Derby on April 6. "I really grew up just wanting to be better than any other jockey," he says. "That is basically what I grew up … putting into myself and instilling into myself." He was mentored by jockey Julio Felix. "I wouldn't say I patterned my riding style after anyone else, but what I would say is Julio Felix helped me learn the fundamentals of riding," Krigger says. Last year, O'Neill won the Derby with jockey Mario Gutierrez, who also was a Derby first-timer. "Physically and mentally, (Krigger is) very consistent," O'Neill says. "He just shows up. He's got a great work ethic. And more than anything, he's just got a great chemistry with Goldencents." (Photo: Bill Luster, USA TODAY Sports) GARY STEVENS When Gary Stevens announced his retirement in November 2005, he had won eight Triple Crown races, including the Kentucky Derby in 1988, 1995 and 1997. During his seven years of retirement, his broadcast career included Triple Crown coverage for NBC Sports. As an actor, he played jockey George Woolf in the 2003 film Seabiscuit and was a regular on the HBO series Luck. What is he doing back in the starting gate at age 50? "I guess the answer is because I could," Stevens says. "I didn't want to be 70 years old and say, 'Man, I could have come back.' "So I'm enjoying myself. I feel good, and I'm riding good horses." He'll ride Oxbow, trained by Hall of Famer D. Wayne Lukas, a four-time Kentucky Derby winner. "I think mentally and attitude-wise he's better than I've ever seen him," Lukas says of Stevens. "He looks better than I've ever seen him. I think his knees were bothering him. Maybe his diet was a problem. … But ... I think he's in the zone. I really feel comfortable, and the experience factor, you cannot downplay it in this one with 20 horses especially." Stevens' weight didn't balloon during his retirement, but by jockey standards he had work to do to get back to riding trim, teaming with a personal trainer and dietician. "It was a big issue, and it had been an issue before I retired. I'd really been fighting my weight," Stevens says. "I'm actually lighter right now than I've been probably since I was 20 years old." The oldest Derby-winning jockey was Bill Shoemaker, 54 when he rode Ferdinand in 1986. What would a fourth Derby win mean to Stevens? "I'll just tell you that the first one was sweet. The second one was better than the first one, and the third was the best of all," Stevens says. "So with each one, it gets better. "I didn't know what it was going to feel like the first one, so it's the greatest feeling on Earth, and I'd love to feel it again."	Shoemaking
Which Willy wrote the plays Educating Rita and Shirley Valentine?	Shoemaker's Last Ride to Derby Glory \| RealClearHistory now reading: Shoemaker's Last Ride to Derby Glory Shoemaker's Last Ride to Derby Glory Video: Global Warming Lorem Ipsum Dolor Sit ... Good morning, it’s May 3. Saturday is Derby Day, and today is a date in history that should inspire all the baby boomers now entering middle age or on the precipice of retirement: On this day 1986, famed jockey Willie Shoemaker rode a horse named Ferdinand to victory in the Kentucky Derby. Already a Hall-of-Fame rider, “The Shoe” was 54 years old. His name was never Willie, although it seemed to fit because he was so small -- even for a jockey. Born on Aug. 19, 1931, in West Texas, he weighed less than 40 ounces and was only 10 ½ inches long. The family’s doctors weren’t sure he’d live through the night, but his parents named him Billie Lee Shoemaker and took him home. The boy lived, his parents divorced, and Bill moved with his father to Los Angeles. Like most jockeys, young Shoemaker was an exceptional athlete despite his diminutive size. He had strong hands, fast reflexes – and was fearless – traits that led him first to the boxing ring, where he won local championships in Golden Gloves competitions while fighting in the under-105-pound class, and later to the track. While mucking out stables on a California thoroughbred ranch as a teenager, Shoemaker saw his true calling. He began as an exercise rider at Northern California tracks and was given his first professional ride on March 19, 1949. He rode his first winner that April in a six-furlong claiming race at Golden Gate Fields aboard a chestnut filly named Shafter V. Asked many years later if he remembered the horse, he replied, “You bet I remember her. I almost went into shock. … I think I got about $10.” There would be many more winners to come – 218 that year alone, and a stunning total of 8,833 before he retired. At 4-foot-11 and only 96 pounds, Shoemaker didn’t have to sweat to make weight like most riders, and those powerful hands he’d used in the boxing ring became legendary as he guided 1,500-pound thoroughbreds around tracks all over the world. Shoe was a fan favorite, partly because he eschewed the whip more than most, and partly because of his dignified nature. He won his first Derby aboard Swaps in 1955 and would have won his second two years later aboard Gallant Man if he’d not misjudged the finish line and stood up in the irons prematurely. He explained his mistake matter-of-factly (the finish line had been changed) and kept riding. In 1959, he misjudged the Derby finish again, but in a way that did not impact the race. Late that spring, Shoe had had been riding Sword Dancer, the eventual Horse of the Year, but he had previously agreed to take the mount on a now-forgotten horse named Tommy Lee in the big race, and he kept his word. In the stretch of the Kentucky Derby, when it seemed that Sword Dancer was swooping by Tommy Lee, Shoemaker called out to fellow rider Bill Boland, “Good luck! I hope you win it.” But Shoemaker’s horse was game and held on for the victory. By the time he retired, Shoe would sit in the Kentucky Derby winner’s circle four times, along with two Preakness winners – and five in the Belmont Stakes. His last Triple Crown victory came aboard 18-1 long shot Ferdinand on May 3, 1986. He had taken several nasty spills in his career by then and the reflexes were fading, but on this day 27 years ago he gave his horse a flawless ride, patiently guiding stretch-running Ferdinand through the pack until he saw an opening on the rail. He steered his horse through it and the big colt shot to the lead, winning by 2 ½ lengths. “What a feeling,” he proclaimed. “I was half in shock.” He rode competitively for the last time on Feb. 3, 1990, at his home racing circuit in Southern California. Shoe was aboard 7-year-old Patchy Groundfog that afternoon in a one-mile turf race Santa Anita Park had billed as “The Legend's Last Ride.” The legend and his mount were the sentimental betting favorites of the big Santa Anita crowd that day, as well as eminent race caller Trevor Denman, who set aside his normal impartiality to call, “C’mon Shoe!” as the horse took the lead at the top of the stretch. Although Patchy Groundfog faded to finish fourth, Shoemaker was not the kind to just fade away. In retirement, he became a trainer, and was pursuing this vocation on April 8, 1991, while driving on a deserted stretch of highway. He had been drinking -- and was trying to place a call to his wife on his cell phone -- when he lost control of his Ford Bronco, which plunged down an embankment. The crash left Shoemaker paralyzed from the neck down. He resumed training horses in a supervisory role less than six months later, sharing his wisdom about horses from a wheelchair. He retired from training on Nov. 3, 1997, having won $3.7 million in earnings, and died in his sleep at home in San Marino, Calif., on Oct. 12, 2003. Bill Shoemaker left us with the memories of his many remarkable rides, his consummate professionalism, and these inspiring words: “I never gave up,” he told writer Ron Flatter . “A few times I didn’t think I was going to make it. But I never quit.”	i don't know
Willie John McBride is a name associated with which sport?	Willie John: A rugby legend - BBC Sport BBC Sport Willie John: A rugby legend By Gavin Andrews From the section Rugby Union Share this page Media playback is not supported on this device Willie John McBride captained the Lions in 1974 It started with a phone call. "Hello, could I speak to Willie John McBride please?" Speaking. "Hello Willie John McBride." Oh dear, how do you talk to a legend? You can't just call him Willie John like an old team-mate, can you? "It's Gavin from the BBC here, would you be free to meet for a chat about the Lions in 1974?" "Yes. Tomorrow afternoon at my house about 2 o'clock Ok." That went well, big deep breath. Then came the drive up the lane to the McBride family home in Ballyclare. It was easier to say hello in person. Still, I kept it to Mr McBride. A firm handshake and a welcome into the living room. He sat back in his armchair (if he still smoked a pipe I imagined he would have lit it). "Well, what would you like to talk about?" "You," I replied. Rugby memorabilia was dotted around the room. Photos and mementos from journeys to far off frontiers with Ireland and the Lions. Willie John has an aura about him. At 74 he is still a big man, broad, a presence. After a few pleasantries, it was time for the pitch. "Mr McBride, we would like to tell your story to our generation; to the rugby fans who have known nothing but the modern game - World Cups, Six Nations and professional players. We want to show the days with no substitutions, and when a Lions tour lasted four months....and in your words." He paused and started talking. Two hours of anecdotes later, we sat with eyes wide and mouths open. It was time to ask: "Would you do a bit of filming with us and tell us some of those stories?" The diary came out of his back pocket. I'm free next Thursday. We were underway! McBride's playing record stands favourable comparison with any of the greats of the game What immediately struck me was the importance of his upbringing in Moneyglass, near Toomebridge in County Antrim. Growing up on the family farm, he lost his father at four years of age. "That's something that still wakes me up now and again. I often wonder what it might have been like to have had a father over those years," he said. "I had three brothers and a sister on the farm and my wonderful mother was a tremendous manager. I like to think she taught us proper values in life. "I believe those years gave me not only a strength, but mentally it gave me that will to go on. There was no such thing as stopping at half-time; you had to go the whole way." There was no rugby history in the McBride family. A house match at Ballymena Academy at the age of 17 would change that, "They came to me and said, you're a big guy. If you play we'll have 15. I hadn't a clue about this game, but I was big and it wasn't a problem to me, I could shake people off." After a short spell with Randalstown, he moved to Eaton Park and Ballymena Rugby Club where the myth of Willie John was born. His playing record stands with any of the greats of the game. Almost 20 years of service with Ulster, 63 caps for Ireland (1962-75) and five tours with the then British Lions. The series wins in New Zealand in 1971 and South Africa in 1974 have gone down in sporting folklore; not only for the manner of those wins but for the style of play of the tourists. 'Willie John' traces the highs and lows of life as an international sportsman in an amateur era. In the making of this programme there was a long list of greats, from every era, eager to give their impressions of the man from Moneyglass. Cue more awkward phone calls! But just mention the name Willie John and they all made time. Sir Ian McGeechan went on his first Lions tour with Willie John in South Africa in '74, "I still think of him as my captain. Willie John was probably the biggest natural leader of British and Irish rugby in the 70s, when it was the best in the world. He was somebody that gave inspiration and aspiration for players of the time that it put British rugby at a different level. Without him I not sure that would have happened." Paul O'Connell, a fellow Ireland and Lions captain said: "Any player who's been to New Zealand and won a Test series deserves the upmost respect. He's up there with Brian O'Driscoll as one of Ireland's greatest players." The programme also examines the struggles Willie John faced off the pitch. As an Ulsterman captaining Ireland in 1973, during the troubles, he was the subject of death threats. And security was stationed at the McBride family home. In 1974 he became embroiled in a political storm. The Lions captain would shoulder the burden for his team in the face of opposition to their tour of Apartheid South Africa. In this programme we meet his family, his team-mates, his critics and of course his opponents on the field. From the lifelong friendships of the Lions team of '74, to Ravenhill and the farm where he grew up, we examine the making of a legend. Gareth Edwards, recognised as one of the greatest players of all time, was a team-mate in '71 and '74 and summed up Willie John. "WJ McBride will always be synonymous with the great game of rugby and in particular with the British and Irish Lions. It's been a pleasure to have played alongside him, it's been a great pleasure to have known him. Without question, he's not only a fine rugby player, he's a great gentleman. " So how do you speak to a legend? Well you get over it! After six months I can now call him Willie John. Tentatively.	Rugby union

Willie John McBride - Alchetron, The Free Social Encyclopedia I Love to read n write about Interesting People Willie John McBride Books The Lions: The Complete History of the British and Irish Rugby Union Team Nominations BBC Sports Personality of the Year Award Similar People Fergus Slattery, Fran Cotton, Phil Bennett, Gareth Edwards, Mike Gibson Willie john mcbride inspirational speech Sponsored Links William James McBride, MBE, better known as Willie John McBride (born 6 June 1940) is a former rugby union footballer who played as a lock for Ireland and the British and Irish Lions. He played 63 Tests for Ireland including eleven as captain, and toured with the Lions five times — a record that gave him 17 Lions Test caps. He also captained the most successful ever Lions side which toured South Africa in 1974. The story of willie john mcbride Youth McBride was born at Toomebridge, County Antrim. Owing to his father's death when he was five years old, he spent most of his spare time helping out on his family farm. Because of this he did not start playing rugby until he was 17. He was educated at Ballymena Academy, Ballymena and played for the school's First XV. After he left he joined the Ballymena R.F.C.. Playing career In 1962 was selected to play for Ireland. His first Test on 10 February 1962 was against England at Twickenham. Later that year he was selected to tour South Africa with the British and Irish Lions. McBride continued to play for Ireland throughout the 1960s and played for Ireland when they first defeated South Africa (the Springboks) in 1965, and when Ireland defeated Australia in Sydney — the first time a Home Nations team had defeated a major southern hemisphere team in their own country. He was again selected for the Lions in 1966, this time touring New Zealand and Australia. He toured South Africa with the Lions again in 1968. He was selected to play for the Lions in their 1971 tour of New Zealand. Despite being criticized by some as being "over the hill", McBride was made pack leader and helped the Lions to a Test series win over New Zealand; their first and last series win over New Zealand. He received an MBE in 1971 for services to rugby football. 1974 Lions tour to South Africa McBride's outstanding leadership qualities led to his appointment as captain of the British and Irish Lions in their 1974 tour to South Africa. His partner at lock was Gordon Brown of Scotland. The Test series was won 3-0, with one match drawn — the first Lions series ever won in South Africa. It was one of the most controversial and physical Test match series ever played. The management of the Lions concluded that the Springboks dominated their opponents with physical aggression, and so decided to match fire with fire. Willie John McBride instigated a policy of "one in, all in" - that is, when one Lion retaliated, all other Lions were expected to join in the melee or hit the nearest Springbok. Sponsored Links At that time there were only substitutions if a doctor agreed that a player was physically unable to continue and there were no video cameras and sideline officials to keep the punching, kicking, and head butting to a minimum. If the South Africans were to resort to foul play then the Lions decided "to get their retaliation in first." The signal for this was to call "99" (a shortened version of the emergency number in the United Kingdom — 999). This was a signal for the Lions to clobber their nearest rival players. Retirement In 1975 as his international career was ending he played his last game for Ireland at Lansdowne Road. The game was against France and near the end of the match, he scored his first Test try for Ireland. It was the crowning moment of a great playing career. His last international game was against Wales on Saturday 15 March 1975. After retiring from playing the game, McBride coached the Irish team and was manager of the 1983 Lions tour to New Zealand. Despite the test results being mainly poor, team camaraderie was high and some good wins were recorded in other games. In 1997 he was an inaugural inductee into the International Rugby Hall of Fame. He lives in Ballyclare. He has been asked to present Test jerseys and give motivational speeches to Lions players prior to matches. In 2004 he was named in Rugby World magazine as "Rugby Personality of the Century". He is a major supporter of the Wooden Spoon Society. He is remembered by members and supporters of Stockport Rugby Club for attending the Glengarth Sevens with a lion cub from Longleat, helping to raise money for the charity and adding to the atmosphere and help upkeep the reputation of sevens rugby at Stockport.	i don't know
Which element is associated with old lace?	7 (or 12) Superheroes Based on Periodic Elements Who Are Not Iron Man \| The Mary Sue 7 (or 12) Superheroes Based on Periodic Elements Who Are Not Iron Man by Susana Polo and Robert Quigley \| 6:02 pm, May 7th, 2010 Iron Man 2 was released to theaters in America today, and certainly the Iron Avenger deserves notice. But he’s getting lots of it, from TV spots to talk show interviews, to his own augmented reality app ! All about Iron! We’d like to take a moment to appreciate the lesser known heroes and villains who have taken an entry of the periodic table of the elements into their hearts, and tried to live up to its hardness, its density, and above all else the weight of 6×10^23 atoms of it. Also, many of them are utterly absurd. Titanium Man A KGB badguy named Boris Bullsky wanted to win a propaganda victory against the imperialist swine, and so he set out to defeat Iron Man by strapping on an enormous titanium suit. According to Wikipedia, “the inferior resources available to the scientists meant that the armor was twice the size of Iron Man’s.” The suit could even fly to space. There were two other, less memorable Titanium Men thereafter, but the original Bullskian Titanium Man proved his merit by appearing in that Iron Man video game. Ion When a hydrogen fusion specialist named Voletta Todd got caught in a freak lab experiment, she developed the ability to turn into a sentient cloud of superpowered, ionized hydrogen gas, and turned to a life of crime. She can, however, be forced to revert back to a regular old cloud of ionized hydrogen gas, which, if you think about it, is pretty lame. [image via ] The Metal Men The metal men are intelligent robots created by William Magnus (who actually has a meme based on him ), endowed by him with responsometers that create an artificial soul. These same responsometers are responsible for the relationship between each Metal Man’s (and one Metal Woman’s) personality and powers, and the element they are made of. Their leader Gold can stretch his body to great lengths. The steadfast Iron is in possession of incredible strength. Lead, while a bit thick, can form near impenetrable barriers and shields (as from radiation). Quick-witted Mercury has shapeshifting powers, allowing him to become a liquid at will. Like Gold, Platinum has stretching powers, but can also flatten and thin out her body to great extremes. She’s the girl (which we all know is a excellent substitute for actual personality in group team-up mechanics ). Tin, um, contains things. You know, like a can? He’s the insecure one. Arsenic (and Old Lace) Adopting the popular superhero convention of naming oneself after farcical 1939 stage plays, Arsenic and Old Lace are a classic girl-and-her-genetically-modified-dinosaur-from-the-87th-century team. In addition to supervillains, they’ve been known to fight corrupt cops in the LAPD. [image via ] The Silver Surfer The Herald of Galactus carries but a portion of his master’s Power Cosmic, endowing him with great power, a shiny finish, and an awesome surfboard. Of course the downside is that he has to visit planets teeming with sentient life and culture, only to tell them that there is no hope: they are about to be consumed entire by The Devourer of Worlds. But on the other hand… space surfboard. Doctor Phosphorus Dr. Phosphorus is the continually burning supervillain from Gotham City who subsequently trade his soul to the demon Nero for even more unbridled incendiary power. Oh, and the ability to not constantly burn his own clothes off, so +1 for pragmatism there, Doctor. From Detective Comics #825: “We believe his powers manifested a fusion reaction that completely sublimated his central nervous system — creating functional facsimiles of his heart, his lungs, his kidneys — all working in concert to produce a near-endless supply of clean energy.” He’s also one of the inspirations for Batman Beyond nemesis Blight. Cobalt Man Yet another Iron Man wannabe, Cobalt Man , an “inventor who had been studying the effects of nuclear radiation involving cobalt” (sciencey!) not surprisingly chose to build a suit made of cobalt, a tough metallic element with a high melting point of 2723 °F, but the decidedly un-super side effect of causing contact dermatitis in many, according to the Agency for Toxic Substances and Disease Registry . Also, he was almost killed by Egghead — Egghead, for cripes’ sake! — one Wikipedia quote about whom speaks for itself: Disguised as a long-legged clown at a Thanksgiving Day Parade, Egghead tampered with Hank Pym’s “Pym Particles” by blowing special bubbles at him while he was fighting a brought to life dinosaur float.

Which element is most common in the human body?	View All Photos (4) Movie Info Arsenic and Old Lace is director Frank Capra's spin on the classic Joseph Kesselring stage comedy, which concerns the sweet old Brewster sisters (Josephine Hull, Jean Adair), beloved in their genteel Brooklyn neighborhood for their many charitable acts. One charity which the ladies don't advertise is their ongoing effort to permit lonely bachelors to die with smiles on their faces--by serving said bachelors elderberry wine spiked with arsenic. When the sisters' drama-critic nephew Mortimer (Cary Grant) stumbles onto their secret, he is understandably put out--especially since he has just married the lovely Elaine Harper (Priscilla Lane). Given the homicidal tendencies of his aunts, the sinister activities of his escaped-convict older brother Jonathan (Raymond Massey) and the disruptive behavior of younger brother Teddy (John Alexander)--who is convinced that he's really Theodore Roosevelt, and runs around the house yelling "CHAAAAARGGGE"--Mortimer isn't keen on starting a family with his new bride. "Insanity runs in my family," he explains. "It practically gallops." Further complications ensue when the murderous Jonathan Brewster arrives home, with his snivelling accomplice Dr. Einstein (Peter Lorre) in tow. When Jonathan learns that his darling aunts have killed twelve men, he is incensed--they're challenging his own record of murders. Though the movie rights for Arsenic and Old Lace were set up so that the film could not be released until 1944, director Capra shot the film quickly and inexpensively in 1941, so that his family could subsist on his $100,000 salary while he was serving in World War II.

Disclaimer for Shirley's Wellness Cafe Salt Deficiency, The Cause of Many Diseases: Crystal Salt Therapy An eight-year study of a New York City hypertensive population stratified for sodium intake levels found those on low-salt diets had more than four times as many heart attacks as those on normal-sodium diets; the exact opposite of what the salt hypothesis would have predicted. (1995). Dr. Jeffrey R. Cutler documented no health outcomes benefits of lower-sodium diets. Both sea salt and rock salt were well known to the ancient Greeks who noted that eating salty food affected basic body functions such as digestion and excretion (urine and stools). This led to salt being used medically. The healing methods of Hippocrates (460 BC) especially made frequent use of salt. Hippocrates mentions inhalation of steam from salt-water. We know today that the anti-inflammatory effects of inhaled salt provide relief from respiratory symptoms. Thus, 2000 years ago, Greek medicine had already discovered topical use of salt for skin lesions, drinking salty or mineralized waters for digestive troubles and inhaling salt for respiratory diseases! Contents Salt Reduction? Salt varies greatly with quality, mineral content, and health benefits Refined Salt: White Poison - The problem with salt is not the salt itself but the condition of the salt we eat! Our regular table salt no longer has anything in common with the original crystal salt. Salt now a day is mainly sodium chloride and not salt. With the advent of industrial development, our natural salt was "chemically cleaned" and reduced only to sodium and chloride. Major producing companies dry their salt in huge kilns with temperatures reaching 1200 degrees F, changing he salt's chemical structure, which in turn adversely affects the human body. The common table salt we use for cooking has only 2 or 3 chemical elements. The seawater has 84 chemical elements. For our body to be healthy we need all those elements. When we use the common salt, we are in deficit of 81 elements which means we are somehow contributing to becoming weaker, imbalanced and more susceptible to diseases. Use the seawater salt. Profound Life-Giving Therapeutic Himalayan Crystal Salt Himalayan Crystal Salt is one of the most profound re-discoveries of our time. For centuries, the energy/information content, in the form of vital mineral elements locked away within these perfectly formed crystals of mineral rich salt, were utilized by doctors for treating most every disorder known to humans, and with unfailing success. Recently. this ancient knowledge was once again uncovered by biophysicists and brought to light in the acclaimed book, Water and Salt, The Essence of Life , by Dr. Barbara Hendel and biophysicist Peter Ferreira Salt is vital to all living creatures Salt is a vital substance for the survival of all living creatures, particularly humans. Water and salt regulate the water content of the body. Water itself regulates the water content of the interior of the cell by working its way into all of the cells it reaches. It has to get there to cleanse and extract the toxic wastes of cell metabolisms. Salt forces some water to stay outside the cells. It balances the amount of water that stays outside the cells. There are two oceans of water in the body; one ocean is held inside the cells of the body, and the other ocean is held outside the cells. Good health depends on a most delicate balance between the volume of these oceans, and this balance is achieved by salt - unrefined salt. When water is available to get inside the cells freely, it is filtered from the outside salty ocean and injected into the cells that are being overworked despite their water shortage. This is the reason why in severe dehydration we develop an edema and retain water. The design of our bodies is such that the extent of the ocean of water outside the cells is expanded to have the extra water available for filtration and emergency injection into vital cells. The brain commands an increase in salt and water retention by the kidneys. This is how we get an edema when we don't drink enough water. Water and Salt is the Essence of Life by Dr. Barbara Hendel and biophysicist Peter Ferreira. Never before has there been such a fascinating book about the fundamental two essential elements needed for achieving and maintaining vibrant health. From the first day that this book was introduced in Germany two years ago, it was an immediate bestseller. Millions of people have changed their lives in respect to water and salt with the profound scientific information presented herein in an easy-to-read format that everyone is able to understand. We are happy to now make our English speaking readers acquainted with the subjects of Water and Salt so that they too may find better understanding and respect for these most essential elements. We also hope that thousands of doctors, scientists, alternative practitioners and therapists will embrace this natural knowledge to help mankind in a natural way. Initially, the process of water filtration and its delivery into the cells is more efficient at night when the body is horizontal. The collected water, that mostly pools in the legs, does not have to fight the force of gravity to get onto the blood circulation. If reliance of this process of emergency hydration of some cells continues for long, the lungs begin to get waterlogged at night, and breathing becomes difficult. The person needs more pillows to sit upright to sleep. This condition is the consequence of dehydration. However, you might overload the system by drinking too much water at the beginning. Increases in water intake must be slow and spread out until urine production begins to increase at the same rate that you drink water. When we drink enough water to pass clear urine, we also pass out a lot of the salt that was held back. This is how we can get rid of edema fluid in the body; by drinking more water. Not diuretics, but more water!! In people who have an extensive edema and show signs of their heart beginning to have irregular or very rapid beats with least effort, the increase in water intake should be gradual and spaced out, but not withheld from the body. Naturally, salt intake should be limited for two or three days because the body is still in an overdrive mode to retain it. Once the edema has cleared up, salt should not be withheld from the body. Paracelsus institutes fresh medical concept The doctor and alchemist Paracelsus (1493–1541 A.D.) introduced an entirely new medical concept. He believed that external factors create disease and conceived a chemically oriented medical system which contrasted with the prevalent herbal medicine. Only salted food could be digested properly: "The human being must have salt, he cannot be without salt. Where there is no salt, nothing will remain, but everything will tend to rot." He recommended salt water for the treatment of wounds and for use against intestinal worms. A hip-bath in salt water was a superb remedy for skin diseases and itching: "This brine - he said - is better than all the health spas arising out of nature." He described the diuretic effect of salt consumption and prescribed salt preparations of different strengths that were used for instance against constipation. Salt-based remedies were thought to have expectorant powers. A mixture of water, salt, and vinegar was employed as an emetic. Drinking a mixture of two-thirds cow's milk and one-third salt-water, in the mornings, on an empty stomach was recommended as a cure for diseases of the spleen. A mixture of salt and honey was applied topically to clean bad ulcers and salt-water was used externally against skin diseases and freckles "In recent years there has been much publicity about the need to reduce salt consumption in societies where salt is added to many processed foods (Denton 1984, 584-7). It has tended to be forgotten that some salt intake is absolutely necessary; that people need salt, sodium chloride, to survive: The chemical requirements of the human body demand that the salt concentration in the blood be kept constant. If the body does not get enough salt, a hormonal mechanism compensates by reducing the excretion of salt in the urine and sweat. But it cannot reduce this output to zero. On a completely salt-free diet the body steadily loses small amounts of salt via the kidneys and sweat glands. It then attempts to adjust this by accelerating its secretion of water, so that the blood’s salt concentration can be maintained at the vital level. The result is a gradual desiccation of the body and finally death." Roy Moxham Salt Hypothesis The past president of the American Heart Association, Dr. Suzanne Oparil of the University of Alabama-Birmingham, said her personal view is that the government may have been too quick to recommend that everyone cut back. "Salt restriction as a solitary recommendation for the population for the prevention or the treatment of hypertension. An eight-year study of a New York City hypertensive population stratified for sodium intake levels found those on low-salt diets had more than four times as many heart attacks as those on normal-sodium diets – the exact opposite of what the “salt hypothesis” would have predicted. (1995). Dr. Jeffrey R. Cutler documented no health outcomes benefits of lower-sodium diets. Salt has many benefits and physiological functions Salt is most effective in stabilizing irregular heartbeats and, Contrary to the misconception that it causes high blood pressure, it is actually essential for the regulation of blood pressure - in conjunction with water. Naturally the proportions are critical. Salt is vital to the extraction of excess acidity from the cells in the body, particularly the brain cells. Salt is vital for balancing the sugar levels in the blood; a needed element in diabetics. Salt is vital for the generation of hydroelectric energy in cells in the body. It is used for local power generation at the sites of energy need by the cells. Salt is vital to the nerve cells' communication and information processing all the time that the brain cells work, from the moment of conception to death. Salt is vital for absorption of food particles through the intestinal tract. Salt is vital for the clearance of the lungs of mucus plugs and sticky phlegm, particularly in asthma and cystic fibrosis. Salt is vital for clearing up catarrh and congestion of the sinuses. Salt is a strong natural antihistamine. Salt is essential for the prevention of muscle cramps. Salt is vital to prevent excess saliva production to the point that it flows out of the mouth during sleep. Needing to constantly mop up excess saliva indicates salt shortage. Salt is absolutely vital to making the structure of bones firm. Osteoporosis , in a major way, is a result of salt and water shortage in the body. Salt is vital for sleep regulation. It is a natural hypnotic. Salt is a vitally needed element in the treatment of diabetics. Salt on the tongue will stop persistent dry coughs. Salt is vital for the prevention of gout and gouty arthritis. Salt is vital for maintaining sexuality and libido. Salt is vital for preventing varicose veins and spider veins on the legs and thighs. Salt is vital to the communication and information processing nerve cells the entire time that the brain cells work - from the moment of conception to death. Salt is vital for reducing a double chin. When the body is short of salt, it means the body really is short of water. The salivary glands sense the salt shortage and are obliged to produce more saliva to lubricate the act of chewing and swallowing and also to supply the stomach with water that it needs for breaking down foods. Circulation to the salivary glands increases and the blood vessels become "leaky" in order to supply the glands with water to manufacture saliva. The "leakiness" spills beyond the area of the glands themselves, causing increased bulk under the skin of the chin, the cheeks and into the neck. Sea salt contains about 80 mineral elements that the body needs. Some of these elements are needed in trace amounts. Unrefined sea salt is a better choice of salt than other types of salt on the market. Ordinary table salt that is bought in the super markets has been stripped of its companion elements and contains additive elements such as aluminum silicate to keep it powdery and porous. Aluminum is a very toxic element in our nervous system. It is implicated as one of the primary causes of Alzheimer's disease. Twenty-seven percent of the body's salt is in the bones. Osteoporosis results when the body needs more salt and takes it from the body. Bones are twenty-two percent water. Is it not obvious what happens to the bones when we're deficient in salt or water or both. Crystal Salt with Therapeutic Properties Crystal Salt refers to a specific crystal salt coming from a particular region in Northeast Pakistan and has been the subject of comprehensive medical research. Khewra Salt Mine is many thousands of years old and is the second largest salt mine in the world. Himalayan Crystal Salt contains 84 minerals and trace elements that are necessary for health, and is a holistic, and natural salt that is much more than just sodium, and chloride such as refined table salt. These minerals have been subjected to enormous pressure, and have crystallized over millions of years. The higher the amount of pressure the more superior or excellent the state of order within the crystalline structure. Salt, for us, is foremost an information carrier and not a spice. For information to be absorbed into our cells, a crystalline structure is necessary. Chemically, a stone and a quartz crystal are both silicates. However, the vast difference in the amounts of pressure they were subjected to, distinguishes them. The quartz crystal embodies a perfect geometric form, a perfect state of order within its structure. The stone does not. Its elements are coarse, because it was not subjected to enough pressure to create a crystalline structure. Crystal salt layers wind through the mountain of salt, shimmering in transparent white, pinkish or reddish veins. Only with sufficient pressure were the minerals transformed into crystal salt. The elements trapped within are particles small enough to be able to pass through cell walls and be metabolized. Healing Qualities of Salt For thousands of years salt has been known as a panacea. Alchemists called it the fifth element besides water, earth, air and, fire because its qualities were comparable only to ether, the actual fifth element. Why are we so drawn to the ocean? Because our subconscious mind instinctively wants to return to the specific vibrational state of the ocean from which we once emerged. This is where we can return to recharge our batteries and regenerate. It was only two-hundred-fifty years ago, with the advent of industrialization, that we initiated our disconnection from nature and her ways. Fortunately, we are witnessing a trend to return back to natural, holistic methods for living and caring for our body, including a shift back to utilizing natural salts in this process. People everywhere are reconsidering the healing effects of natural crystal salt. We can find it in skin care lotions and for use as bath salts, and it is even used in inhalation or cleansing treatments for illnesses of the respiratory system and for a variety of other indications Hospital carved out of the expansive salt mountain The healing properties of salt are also known in allopathic medicine. The largest and oldest salt works in Europe occupies the royal salt mine of Wieliczka, Poland, just 7.5 miles outside of Krakow. Here, a hospital was carved out of the expansive salt mountain, seven hundred forty feet below the surface, specifically for asthmatics and patients with lung disease and allergies. Several thousand patients have been successfully treated in this hospital. The healing rate is astonishingly over 90%. Recognition of the healing effects of salt chambers has influenced the construction of a similar underground spa located in the salt mine of Berchtesgaden in Germany. The therapeutic benefits of long-term residency inside the healing salt chambers are allopathically acknowledged. Dr. Batmanghelidj MD recommends salt Dr. Batmanghelidj MD - "Use 1/4 tsp. of sea salt for every quart of water you drink. Use a good sea salt, one with at least 80 minerals, liberally with food. As long as you drink the water, you can use the salt. Some put it in their water, some lick it off their hand, some season their foods after cooking. It's up to you. Make sure you take potassium daily (banana, orange juice,etc) Salt water when drunk has an expectorant effect in the stomach and increases gastric juice secretion. It raises the level of stomach acid, hastens its production, impedes or stimulates stomach motricity and emptying-rate (depending upon the salt concentration), increases the secretion of the pancreas, and at higher salt concentrations stimulates the formation of bile acids. The Mayo Clinic had pronounced Lloyd Palmer, of Minnesota, as incurable. Since 1965 he had suffered from excruciatingly painful arthritis of his spinal column -- ankylosing spondylitis. His spine twisted and lost movement until, he says, he became a "walking comma." He suffered pain for 31 years, until he started to drink water and take salt. He writes: "I continue to be pain-free with my ankylosis spondylitis one year after starting the water/salt regime. My blood pressure is normal as well. I thank God every day for allowing me to finally be pain-free." Lloyd Palmer's story is so incredible that Paul Harvey reported it on his ABC News program. He also wrote a syndicated column, printed in a few hundred newspapers. Hydrotherapy with salt Water therapy has been used for centuries to heal the sick Hydro- and hydrothermal therapy are traditional methods of treatment that have been used for the treatment of disease and injury by many cultures, including those of ancient Rome, China, and Japan. Water therapy has been around for centuries. The ancient Greeks took clay and mineral therapeutic baths. Water is an important ingredient in the traditional Chinese and Native American healing systems. Studies have shown that you can achieve the best results taking a sole bath during the change of the moon cycle. The minerals and energies stored in the sole can optimally be absorbed during a full moon. The body’s healing potential is at its peak and bioenergetic weak points are harmonized and the body’s own energy flow activated. During a new moon, the cleansing effects are optimized because the body’s capacity for detoxifying is at its peak. The bath will have a detoxifying effect similar to a three-day fast. Study Reveals Profound Life-Giving Properties of Himalayan Crystal Salt Results of a comprehensive, scientific research project studying the effects of water and salt on a myriad of body functions reveal some impressive indicators about the affect that drinking Fiji Water and taking Himalayan Crystal Salt can have on the body. A nine-week double-blind university study undertaken in 2003 at the Inter-University of Graz, Austria, examined the effects of drinking a minimum of 1.5 liters of tap water per day with common table salt vs. a minimum of 1.5 liters of FIJI Water with Himalayan Crystal Salt on physical and psychological functions of the body. In the study, patients who drank Fiji Water together with the Himalayan Crystal Salt saw significant positive changes in respiratory, circulatory, organ, connective tissue and nervous system functions. Patients also reported increases in the quality of sleep, energy and concentration levels, brain activity, weight loss, enhanced consciousness and noticeable nail and hair growth.... Biophysical Examination by Segmentary Diagnosis (Imedis) The biophysical examinations were performed by the expert system, IMEDIS. This system captures the primary state of homeostasis as well as the immediate reaction of the body to altered environmental influences. In diagnosing the body's reactions to one or several environmental influences, the patients were subjected to a so-called 'neutral' environment. The result of these referential measurements serves as a comparative basis for measurements of bodily functions within altered situations. These measurements were performed according to the experiences of biofunctional organometry as well as to the methods of segmentary diagnosis. The focus of this test was to pinpoint the energetic and informational effects on the homeostasis (biofunctional regulatory behavior). The results of the organometric measurements confirm, with no ambiguity, its supportive effects through a continuous decrease in deviating factors. The diagnosis of the organs and the reactions in the vegetative nervous system illuminates the energetic and informational relationship between the water and the crystalline sole and its effects on the homeostatic regulatory behavior. This diagnosis helps determine the major pathological and pre-pathological tendencies as well as functional disorders and physiological tensions. The tests confirmed that all of the previously determined organ dysfunctions regained their original, natural state of balance and proved the regulating and balancing power of the crystalline sole. Salt Crystal Lamps According to research, the heated salt crystal lamps can be referred to as natural ion generators. When the sun heats up our largest natural salt solutions, the oceans, it generates the natural energy vibration that our entire global environment consists of. The Translucent salt crystal creates exactly the same natural energy field. Scientifically speaking, this natural ionization process takes place millions of times, invisible to the eye, and without any influence of the quality of the crystal. Similar to the concept whereby tree leaves absorb dangerous dioxides and transform them into essential oxygen, without damaging the plant. Crystal salt is one of the few minerals whose atomic structure is bound electrically, not molecularly. This characteristic of the mineral structure enables the crystal to change back and forth from crystalline to liquid state. This natural ionization creates an electric charge, a pure natural energy vibration. The crystal salt lamp can help neutralize the positive ions and electromagnetic field frequencies. Therefore, our human energy field will be balanced through the harmonizing energy vibration of the crystal. This can help with relaxation, strengthen the immune system, the heart, the adrenals, the thyroid, to mention just a few of our major physical body functions. The Essential Health Benefits of Sea Water Sea water has a history of therapeutic use. Its application to the body, warmed and usually combined with massage, is referred to as Thalassotherapy, originating from the Greek word thalassa. Both the Greeks and the Romans recognised the therapeutic effects of sea water. The immediate general effects of warm sea water application (it can penetrate the skin more easily when warm, and enter into the blood) is relaxing, regenerative and stimulating. The American Indians who resided in the Utah area near the Great Salt Lake regularly drank small quantities of the inland sea water. They discovered that this practice enhanced the effect of their herbal remedies. It was based on this folk use that Hartly Anderson set up a company to extract the exceptionally pure and concentrated form of sea water and to market it for health purposes. Speleotherapy - Salt Therapy for respiratory illnesses Several research reports the benefit of Halo/Speleo therapy that can improve a condition of people suffering in chronic and allergic diseases of respiratory system such as asthma , allergy, rhinitis, bronchitis and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. Skulimowski (1965) reports an improvement of salt therapy with the group of 100 COPD and asthma patients after applying the treatment of speleotherapy 4 hours a day for 6-8 weeks. Hovarths (1986) conducts a medical reserch and shows successful results in salt therapy in a group of more than 4000 patients in a 10-year period in a hospital-cave complex in Tapolca, Hungary. He shows that a sharp and long-lasting clinical improvement and a significant recovery from airway obstruction could be observed in the overwhelming majority of patients. Life giving Ancient Minerals An abundance of the minerals in unrefined real salt are as synonymous with life today as they were a billion years ago before single cells appeared here. Lack of them is synonymous with birth defects, organ failure, decay, diseases, premature aging and death at a young age. The problem with salt is not the salt itself but the condition of the salt we eat - refined! Major producing companies dry their salt in huge kilns with temperatures reaching 1200 degrees F, changing he salt's chemical structure, which in turn adversely affects the human body. The facts are that in the heating process of salt, the element sodium chloride goes off into the air as a gas. What remains is sodium hydroxate which is irritating to the system and does not satisfy the body's hunger and need for sodium chloride. Sodium chloride is one of the 12 daily essential minerals. In countries which do not alter their salt supply, heart disease and arthritis are so rare that many doctors have never seen a case. Their salt is dried from the ocean by the sun. Many people believe that salt is harmful to the human body. The truth is we cannot live without salt (sodium chloride). From salt the body makes hydrochloric acid which is one of the essential digestive fluids. There is not enough natural salt in our foods, so we must supplement our diet. When salt is withheld, weakness and sickness follow. Try this experiment: Mix a spoonful of salt in a glass of water and let it stand overnight. If the salt collects on the bottom of the glass, it has been processed. NATURAL SALT DISSOLVES! Salt that will not dissolve in water cannot dissolve in your body. Any foreign substance that collects in the body organs and tissues will eventually result in malfunctioning of essential body processes: heart disease, arthritis, hardening of the body tissues and arteries, calcium deposits in the joints, etc. Natural organic salt (saline) will not cause calcification in your body. Natural, unprocessed salt can dissolve damaging calcium deposits in the body. Defining the precise roles of salt Science and medicine have tried to define the precise roles of salt in the healthy and diseased human organism. Blood, sweat, and tears all contain salt, and both the skin and the eyes are protected from infectious germs by the anti-bacterial effect of salt. When salt is added to a liquid, particles with opposite charges are formed: a positively charged sodium ion and a negatively charged chloride ion. This is the basis of osmosis which regulates fluid pressure within living cells and protects the body against excessive water loss (as in diarrhoea or on heavy sweating). Sodium and chloride ions, as well as potassium ions, create a measurable difference in potential across cell membranes. This ensures that the fluid inside living cells remains separate from that outside. Thus, although the human body consists mainly of water, our "inner ocean" does not flow away or evaporate. Sodium ions create a high pressure of liquid in the kidneys and thus regulate their metabolic function. Water is extracted through the renal drainage system. The body thus loses a minimal amount of essential water. Out of 1500 liters of blood which pass daily through the kidneys, only about 1.5 liters of liquid leave the body as urine. Fuel for the nerves Salt is "fuel" for nerves. Streams of positively and negatively charged ions send impulses to nerve fibers. A muscle cell will only contract if an impulse reaches it. Nerve impulses are partly propelled by co-ordinated changes in charged particles. Look what happens to fish "Fish from the ocean will die quickly if placed in a solution of refined salt and water. The sodium chloride, in its form as it comes from the refinery, is actually poisonous to them. Bottom line, is that yes it can be harmful to consume too much refined salt, but you cannot consume too much natural unrefined salt ." Beware of "Sea salt" Labels On the labels of many packaged food, in supermarkets as well as health food stores the name "sea salt" appears often. Reading this, we feel safe and reassured, thinking that when it comes to the salt part of the ingredients. This supermarket or health food store "sea salt" has been totally refined. At its origin, it may have come from the sea, but it has been harvested mechanically from dirt or concrete basins with bulldozers and piped through metal conduits; put through many degrading artificial processes; heated under extreme heat levels in order to crack its molecular structure; robbed of all of its essential minerals that are essential to our physiology; these elements are extracted and sold separately to industry. Precious and highly prized by the salt refiners, these bring more profits than the salt itself. Further adulterated by chemical additives to make it free- flowing, bleached, and iodized. To call what remains "sea salt" would be quite misleading. In addition, harmful chemicals have been added to the processed, altered unnatural substance to mask and cover up all of the impurities it has. These added chemicals include free flowing agents, inorganic iodine, plus dextrose and bleaching agents. Standard salt additives: Potassium-Iodide (added to the salt to avoid Iodine deficiency disease of thyroid gland), Sugar (added to stabilize Iodine and as anti-caking chemical), Aluminum silicate. Real unrefined unheated untreated natural sea-salt Long before the earth knew pollutants of any kind, a huge, ancient sea covered what is now North America. Pure, natural salt was the main ingredient of this sea, and over millions of years, the water in the sea evaporated, leaving the salt in undisturbed deposits. At some point during the earth's Jurassic era, a range of volcanoes erupted around the ancient sea bed, sealing the salt with thick volcanic ash, protecting these precious deposits against the pollution that man would eventually introduce into the environment. Near the small town of Redmond, in central Utah, approximately 200 miles south of Salt Lake City, they carefully extract this salt from deep within the earth, and bring it to you in its pure, natural state–without any additives, chemicals, or heat processing. This is RealSalt, full of flavor and natural goodness–the way salt was meant to be savored. The product of Utah is kosher certified and is endowed with more than 50 natural minerals including iodine. The right kind of salt is vital for your animals too! Herds of elephants risk injury and death in a perilous journey to hidden salt caves where they supplement their sodium deficient diets. Our pets also suffer from sodium deficiency. Farmers place salt-blocks on their pasture so that their livestock and all other animals can lick the salt to their heart's content. An abundance of the ingredients in unrefined real salt are as synonymous with life today as they were a billion years ago before single cells appeared here. Lack of them is synonymous with birth defects, organ failure, decay, diseases, premature aging and death at a young age. Long before the earth knew pollutants of any kind, a huge, ancient sea covered what is now North America. Pure, natural salt was the main ingredient of this sea, and over millions of years, the water in the sea evaporated, leaving the salt in undisturbed deposits. Be careful of Common table salt for your animals Please don't supplement your animal's diet with sodium chloride (common table salt); all of the other beneficial elements have been removed. Animals need unrefined, unprocessed real salt. Major producing companies dry their salt in huge kilns with temperatures reaching 1200 degrees F, changing he salt's chemical structure, which in turn adversely affects the human body. Avoid the common refined table salt. Domesticated animals need the right kind of salt One way to provide salt to your pets is to provide two separate water bowls. One bowl with real-unrefined-unheated-natural-sea-salt and one bowl without salt, so that the animals can consume as much salt as they require. They will drink from the bowl that contains salted water, however once they have had enough salt, they will drink from the bowl that has plain water. Himalayan Salt Licks For Horses and other large Animals Salt Facts Salt has become an inexpensive and readily available commodity that is taken for granted by most people. But in older times, wars were fought over salt, and huge taxes were also levied on it. In some places, salt was in such high demand that it was minted into coins that were as valuable as gold and functioned as the basic currency for ancient civilizations. Where salt was scarce it was traded ounce for ounce with gold–for as the Roman statesman Cassiodorus observed, "Some seek not gold, but there lives not a man who does not need salt." Because everyone, rich and poor, craves salt, rulers going back at least as far as the Chinese emperor Yu in 2200 B.C. have tried mightily to control and tax it. Salt taxes helped finance empires throughout Europe and Asia, but also inspired a lively black market, smuggling rings, riots, even revolutions. Pure salt consists of the elements sodium and chlorine. Its chemical name is sodium chloride and its formula is NaCl. Its mineral name is halite. Table salt is a chemically simple combination of two components, sodium and chlorine. The basic components of salt are, by themselves, potentially dangerous. Sodium will ignite immediately if it comes into contact with water, and chlorine is poisonous if ingested. In combination, though, the two elements form sodium chloride, commonly known as salt. Salt is essential. Each of us contain from four to eight ounces of salt. In the body, salt is as important to humans as water or air. It helps maintain the normal volume of blood in the body and also helps keep the correct balance of water in and around the cells and tissues. Salt plays an important part in the digestion of food and is essential in making the heart beat correctly. It is also necessary for the formation and proper function of nerve fibers, which carry impulses to and from the brain. Sodium, together with calcium, magnesium and potassium, helps regulate the body's metabolism. The sodium in salt is an essential nutrient. In combination with potassium, it regulates the acid-alkaline balance in our blood and is also necessary for proper muscle functioning. When we don't get enough sodium chloride, we experience muscle cramps, dizziness, exhaustion and, in extreme cases, convulsions and death. Salt is essential to our well being. For years, many researchers have claimed that salt threatens public health, mostly by contributing to high blood pressure. Recently, though, other researchers have begun to change salt's reputation. A recent review of salt studies conducted over the past two decades concluded that there's no reason for doctors to recommend reducing sodium intake for people with normal blood pressure. It may be that most of us are protected from excessive salt by our kidneys, which regulate the body's sodium level and eliminate any excess. Salt cures aren't new. In the early 19th Century, sick people traveled to rudimentary spas such as French Lick Springs in Indiana and Big Bone Lick, Kentucky, to soak in salt springs. Today's more luxurious spas offer salt baths, glows, rubs and polishes to exfoliate dead skin, stimulate circulation and relieve stress. All salts come from a sea, but are processed in different ways. The oceans that once covered the earth left a generous supply of salt beds and underground deposits. There are two basic methods for removing salt from the ground: room-and-pillar mining and solution mining. In room-and-pillar mining, shafts are sunk into the ground, and miners break up the rock salt with drills. The miners remove chunks of salt, creating huge rooms that are separated by pillars of salt. The room-and-pillar method requires that about half the salt be left behind as pillars. In solution mining, a well is drilled into the ground, and two pipes are lowered into the hole. The pipes consist of a small central pipe inside a larger pipe. The brine is either shipped as a liquid or evaporated in special devices called vacuum pans to form solid salt. Crystalline salt deposits are found on every continent. Oceans contained an estimated four-and-a-half million cubic miles of it. Only about five percent of the world's annual salt production ends up as seasoning at the dinner table. The vast majority, however, pours into chemical plants, where it leads the five major raw materials utilized by industry: salt, sulfur, limestone, coal and petroleum. Salt pickles cucumbers, helps pack meat, can vegetables, cure leather, make glass, bread, butter, cheese, rubber and wood pulp. Salt has some 14,000 uses, more than any other mineral. Salt is essential. In humans, it is a basic component of taste, along with sweet, sour and bitter. The Conductivity of Salt If you've ever taken chemistry in high school you're familiar with this simple experiment to test the conductivity of salt. Two ends of an electrical wire are attached to a light bulb. The other ends are submerged in a glass of water. Because water alone is not conductive, the bulb does not light up.But when we add a little salt to the water the bulb starts to glow. It's the same with our body. When we lack the natural elements in salt we suffer from a chronic energy deficit, or deficit of information. Salt cannot be labeled as medication because that would imply that apples too were a medicine. Salt is a core essential nutrient with exceptional abilities and qualities fundamental for keeping us alive! And we can find that which we are lacking, the respective frequency patterns of energy or information, as well as the necessary bio-chemicals, in Original Himalayan Crystal Salt. Himalayan Crystal Salt Can Displace an Energy Deficit and Restore Balance We can understand a perfect example of how a lack of energy can cause suffering. At times we hear of major electrical shutdowns where several states and millions of people are without electricity (energy). Everyone living in the affected areas suffer from this lack of energy. In this example it reflects the lack in our society. Something is missing in our society that needs to be replaced. Only when we restore the energy, restore the balance, we come back into harmony. We have to understand, through suffering from lack of energy, exactly what we need to add to our lives to relieve the suffering. Here, our society is also a body suffering. If we choose, we can look for the cause and eliminate it, just as we look for the cause of our own individual suffering. Salt Reduction? Roy Moxham: "In recent years there has been much publicity about the need to reduce salt consumption in societies where salt is added to many processed foods. It has tended to be forgotten that some salt intake is absolutely necessary; that people need salt, sodium chloride, to survive: The chemical requirements of the human body demand that the salt concentration in the blood be kept constant. If the body does not get enough salt, a hormonal mechanism compensates by reducing the excretion of salt in the urine and sweat. But it cannot reduce this output to zero. On a completely salt-free diet the body steadily loses small amounts of salt via the kidneys and sweat glands. It then attempts to adjust this by accelerating its secretion of water, so that the blood's salt concentration can be maintained at the vital level. The result is a gradual desiccation of the body and finally death." The past president of the American Heart Association, Dr. Suzanne Oparil of the University of Alabama-Birmingham, said her personal view is that the government may have been too quick to recommend that everyone cut back. "Salt restriction as a solitary recommendation for the population for the prevention or the treatment of hypertension. An eight-year study of a New York City hypertensive population stratified for sodium intake levels found those on low-salt diets had more than four times as many heart attacks as those on normal-sodium diets the exact opposite of what the salt hypothesis would have predicted." No Thoughts and No Actions Without Salt Remember, energy and information are two terms used to describe the same thing. Even the simplest processes in our body need salt, or its inherent elements (ionized energy). Our nervous system is really a sophisticated energy network. It transmits stimulation that is recorded via sensory input (all of our senses are actually energy receptors, our eyes receive waves of energy,information in the form of light frequencies, our ears receive sound frequencies or patterns of energy and our nose senses odors, also electrical charges in the atmosphere) Everything in the universe works by the fundamental principals of energy! Anyway, these sensory inputs that travel to our brain are passed on to our muscles in order for them to react to the respective stimuli (electrical current). An electric potential occurs on the membrane wall of a cell when the positively charged potassium ions leave the cells and the positively charged sodium ions cannot enter due to their size. The outside becomes positively charged and the inside, negatively charged. When a nerve cell is stimulated, its membrane suddenly becomes polar opposite and is permeable for the sodium ions, allowing the electrical charge to enter. Without the elements of potassium and sodium is salt, none of this is possible. Not even a single thought, let alone an action, is possible without their presence. First comes the thought, a wave of energy received in the brain. This thought is nothing more than an electromagnetic frequency. The salt is responsible for enabling this frequency to transmit commands to the muscles and organs. Shirley's Wellness Journey Shirley's Wellness Journey	Chlorine
Which element is the best conductor of electricity?	Safety of Nuclear Reactors - World Nuclear Association Safety of Nuclear Power Reactors (Updated May 2016) From the outset, there has been a strong awareness of the potential hazard of both nuclear criticality and release of radioactive materials from generating electricity with nuclear power. As in other industries, the design and operation of nuclear power plants aims to minimise the likelihood of accidents, and avoid major human consequences when they occur. There have been three major reactor accidents in the history of civil nuclear power – Three Mile Island, Chernobyl and Fukushima. One was contained without harm to anyone, the next involved an intense fire without provision for containment, and the third severely tested the containment, allowing some release of radioactivity. These are the only major accidents to have occurred in over 16,000 cumulative reactor-years of commercial nuclear power operation in 33 countries. The evidence over six decades shows that nuclear power is a safe means of generating electricity. The risk of accidents in nuclear power plants is low and declining. The consequences of an accident or terrorist attack are minimal compared with other commonly accepted risks. Radiological effects on people of any radioactive releases can be avoided. Context In relation to nuclear power, safety is closely linked with security, and in the nuclear field also with safeguards. Some distinctions: Safety focuses on unintended conditions or events leading to radiological releases from authorised activities. It relates mainly to intrinsic problems or hazards. Security focuses on the intentional misuse of nuclear or other radioactive materials by non-state elements to cause harm. It relates mainly to external threats to materials or facilities. Safeguards focus on restraining activities by states that could lead to acquisition of nuclear weapons. It concerns mainly materials and equipment in relation to rogue governments. (See also Safeguards paper .) Harnessing the world's most concentrated energy source In the 1950s attention turned to harnessing the power of the atom in a controlled way, as demonstrated at Chicago in 1942 and subsequently for military research, and applying the steady heat yield to generate electricity. This naturally gave rise to concerns about accidents and their possible effects. However, with nuclear power, safety depends on much the same factors as in any comparable industry: intelligent planning, proper design with conservative margins and back-up systems, high-quality components and a well-developed safety culture in operations. The operating lives of reactors depend on maintaining their safety margin. A particular nuclear scenario was loss of cooling which resulted in melting of the nuclear reactor core, and this motivated studies on both the physical and chemical possibilities as well as the biological effects of any dispersed radioactivity. Those responsible for nuclear power technology in the West devoted extraordinary effort to ensuring that a meltdown of the reactor core would not take place, since it was assumed that a meltdown of the core would create a major public hazard, and if uncontained, a tragic accident with likely multiple fatalities. In avoiding such accidents the industry has been very successful. In over 16,000 cumulative reactor-years of commercial operation in 32 countries, there have been only three major accidents to nuclear power plants - Three Mile Island, Chernobyl, and Fukushima - the second being of little relevance to reactor design outside the old Soviet bloc. The three significant accidents in the 50-year history of civil nuclear power generation are: Three Mile Island (USA 1979) where the reactor was severely damaged but radiation was contained and there were no adverse health or environmental consequences Chernobyl (Ukraine 1986) where the destruction of the reactor by steam explosion and fire killed 31 people and had significant health and environmental consequences. The death toll has since increased to about 56. Fukushima (Japan 2011) where three old reactors (together with a fourth) were written off and the effects of loss of cooling due to a huge tsunami were inadequately contained. A table showing all reactor accidents, and a table listing some energy-related accidents with multiple fatalities are appended . These three significant accidents occurred during more than 16,000 reactor-years of civil operation. Of all the accidents and incidents, only the Chernobyl and Fukushima accidents resulted in radiation doses to the public greater than those resulting from the exposure to natural sources. The Fukushima accident resulted in some radiation exposure of workers at the plant, but not such as to threaten their health, unlike Chernobyl. Other incidents (and one 'accident') have been completely confined to the plant. Apart from Chernobyl, no nuclear workers or members of the public have ever died as a result of exposure to radiation due to a commercial nuclear reactor incident. Most of the serious radiological injuries and deaths that occur each year (2-4 deaths and many more exposures above regulatory limits) are the result of large uncontrolled radiation sources, such as abandoned medical or industrial equipment. (There have also been a number of accidents in experimental reactors and in one military plutonium-producing pile – at Windscale, UK, in 1957, but none of these resulted in loss of life outside the actual plant, or long-term environmental contamination.) See also Table 2 in Appendix. It should be emphasised that a commercial-type power reactor simply cannot under any circumstances explode like a nuclear bomb – the fuel is not enriched beyond about 5%, and much higher enrichment is needed for explosives. The International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) was set up by the United Nations in 1957. One of its functions was to act as an auditor of world nuclear safety, and this role was increased greatly following the Chernobyl accident. It prescribes safety procedures and the reporting of even minor incidents. Its role has been strengthened since 1996 (see later section). Every country which operates nuclear power plants has a nuclear safety inspectorate and all of these work closely with the IAEA. While nuclear power plants are designed to be safe in their operation and safe in the event of any malfunction or accident, no industrial activity can be represented as entirely risk-free. Incidents and accidents may happen, and as in other industries, will lead to progressive improvement in safety. Those improvements are both in new designs, and in upgrading of existing plants. The long-term operation (LTO) of established plants is established by significant investment in such upgrading. The safety of operating staff is a prime concern in nuclear plants. Radiation exposure is minimised by the use of remote handling equipment for many operations in the core of the reactor. Other controls include physical shielding and limiting the time workers spend in areas with significant radiation levels. These are supported by continuous monitoring of individual doses and of the work environment to ensure very low radiation exposure compared with other industries. The use of nuclear energy for electricity generation can be considered extremely safe. Every year several thousand people die in coal mines to provide this widely used fuel for electricity. There are also significant health and environmental effects arising from fossil fuel use. To date, even the Fukushima accident has caused no deaths, and the IAEA reported in June 2011: "to date, no health effects have been reported in any person as a result of radiation exposure." Subsequent WHO and UNSCEAR reports have supported this. Achieving safety: the reactor core Concerning possible accidents, up to the early 1970s, some extreme assumptions were made about the possible chain of consequences. These gave rise to a genre of dramatic fiction (eg The China Syndrome) in the public domain and also some solid conservative engineering including containment structures (at least in Western reactor designs) in the industry itself. Licensing regulations were framed accordingly. It was not until the late 1970s that detailed analyses and large-scale testing, followed by the 1979 meltdown of the Three Mile Island reactor, began to make clear that even the worst possible accident in a conventional western nuclear power plant or its fuel would not be likely to cause dramatic public harm. The industry still works hard to minimize the probability of a meltdown accident, but it is now clear that no-one need fear a potential public health catastrophe simply because a fuel meltdown happens. Fukushima has made that clear, with a triple meltdown causing no fatalities or serious radiation doses to anyone, while over two hundred people continued working on the site to mitigate the accident's effects. The decades-long test and analysis program showed that less radioactivity escapes from molten fuel than initially assumed, and that most of this radioactive material is not readily mobilized beyond the immediate internal structure. Thus, even if the containment structure that surrounds all modern nuclear plants were ruptured, as it has been with at least one of the Fukushima reactors, it is still very effective in preventing escape of most radioactivity. It is the laws of physics and the properties of materials that mitigate disaster, as much as the required actions by safety equipment or personnel. In fact, licensing approval for new plants now requires that the effects of any core-melt accident must be confined to the plant itself, without the need to evacuate nearby residents. A mandated safety indicator is the calculated probable frequency of degraded core or core melt accidents. The US Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) specifies that reactor designs must meet a 1 in 10,000 year core damage frequency, but modern designs exceed this. US utility requirements are 1 in 100,000 years, the best currently operating plants are about 1 in 1 million and those likely to be built in the next decade are almost 1 in 10 million. While this calculated core damage frequency has been one of the main metrics to assess reactor safety, European safety authorities prefer a deterministic approach, focusing on actual provision of back-up hardware, though they also undertake probabilistic safety analysis (PSA) for core damage frequency. Even months after the Three Mile Island (TMI) accident in 1979 it was assumed that there had been no core melt because there were no indications of severe radioactive release even inside the containment. It turned out that in fact about half the core had melted. Until 2011 this remained the only core melt in a reactor conforming to NRC safety criteria, and the effects were contained as designed, without radiological harm to anyone.* Greifswald 5 in East Germany had a partial core melt in November 1989, due to malfunctioning valves (root cause: shoddy manufacture) and was never restarted. At Fukushima in 2011 (a different reactor design with penetrations in the bottom of the pressure vessel) the three reactor cores evidently largely melted in the first two or three days, but this was not confirmed for about ten weeks. It is still not certain how much of the core material was not contained by the pressure vessels and ended up in the bottom of the drywell containments, though certainly there was considerable release of radionuclides to the atmosphere early on, and later to cooling water*. About this time there was alarmist talk of the so-called 'China Syndrome', a scenario where the core of such a reactor would melt, and due to continual heat generation, melt its way through the reactor pressure vessel and concrete foundations to keep going, perhaps until it reached China on the other side of the globe! The TMI accident proved the extent of truth in the proposition, and the molten core material got exactly 15 mm of the way to China as it froze on the bottom of the reactor pressure vessel. At Fukushima, cooling was maintained just long enough apparently to avoid testing the containment in this way. ** Ignoring isotopic differences, there are about one hundred different fission products in fuel which has been undergoing fission. A few of these are gases at normal temperatures, more are volatile at higher temperatures, and both will be released from the fuel if the cladding is damaged. The latter include iodine (easily volatalised, at 184°C) and caesium (671°C), which were the main radionuclides released at Fukushima, first into the reactor pressure vessel and then into the containment which in unit 2 apparently ruptured early on day 5. In addition, as cooling water was flushed through the hot core, soluble fission products such as caesium dissolved in it, which created the need for a large water treatment plant to remove them. However apart from these accidents and the Chernobyl disaster there have been about ten core melt accidents – mostly in military or experimental reactors – Appendix 2 lists most of them. None resulted in any hazard outside the plant from the core melting, though in one case there was significant radiation release due to burning fuel in hot graphite (similar to Chernobyl but smaller scale). The Fukushima accident should also be considered in that context, since the fuel was badly damaged and there were significant off-site radiation releases. Regulatory requirements today for new plants are that the effects of any core-melt accident must be confined to the plant itself, without the need to evacuate nearby residents. The main safety concern has always been the possibility of an uncontrolled release of radioactive material, leading to contamination and consequent radiation exposure off-site. Earlier assumptions were that this would be likely in the event of a major loss of cooling accident (LOCA) which resulted in a core melt. The TMI experience suggested otherwise, but at Fukushima this is exactly what happened. In the light of better understanding of the physics and chemistry of material in a reactor core under extreme conditions it became evident that even a severe core melt coupled with breach of containment would be unlikely to create a major radiological disaster from many Western reactor designs, but the Fukushima accident showed that this did not apply to all. Studies of the post-accident situation at Three Mile Island (where there was no breach of containment) supported the suggestion, and analysis of Fukushima is pending. Certainly the matter was severely tested with three reactors of the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant in Japan in March 2011. Cooling was lost after a shutdown, and it proved impossible to restore it sufficiently to prevent severe damage to the fuel. The reactors, dating from 1971-75, were written off. A fourth is also written off due to damage from a hydrogen explosion. Achieving optimum nuclear safety A fundamental principle of nuclear power plant operation worldwide is that the operator is responsible for safety. The national regulator is responsible for ensuring the plants are operated safely by the licensee, and that the design is approved. A second important concept is that a regulator’s mission is to protect people and the environment. Design certification of reactors is the responsibility of national regulators. There is international collaboration among these to varying degrees. Also there are a number of sets of mechanical codes and standards related to quality and safety. With new reactor designs being established on a more international basis since the 1990s, both industry and regulators are seeking greater design standardisation and also regulatory harmonization. The role of the World Nuclear Association's CORDEL Working Group and the OECD/NEA's MDEP group are described in the Cooperation paper . An OECD/NEA report in 2010 pointed out that the theoretically-calculated frequency for a large release of radioactivity from a severe nuclear power plant accident has reduced by a factor of 1600 between the early Generation I reactors as originally built and the Generation III/III+ plants being built today. Earlier designs however have been progressively upgraded through their operating lives. It has long been asserted that nuclear reactor accidents are the epitome of low-probability but high-consequence risks. Understandably, with this in mind, some people were disinclined to accept the risk, however low the probability. However, the physics and chemistry of a reactor core, coupled with but not wholly depending on the engineering, mean that the consequences of an accident are likely in fact be much less severe than those from other industrial and energy sources. Experience, including Fukushima, bears this out. A 2009 US Department of Energy (DOE) Human Performance Handbook notes: "The aviation industry, medical industry, commercial nuclear power industry, U.S. Navy, DOE and its contractors, and other high-risk, technologically complex organizations have adopted human performance principles, concepts, and practices to consciously reduce human error and bolster controls in order to reduce accidents and events." "About 80 percent of all events are attributed to human error. In some industries, this number is closer to 90 percent. Roughly 20 percent of events involve equipment failures. When the 80 percent human error is broken down further, it reveals that the majority of errors associated with events stem from latent organizational weaknesses (perpetrated by humans in the past that lie dormant in the system), whereas about 30 percent are caused by the individual worker touching the equipment and systems in the facility. Clearly, focusing efforts on reducing human error will reduce the likelihood of events." Following the Fukushima accident the focus has been on the organisational weaknesses which increase the likelihood of human error. In passing, it is relevant to note that the safety record of the US nuclear navy from 1955 on is excellent, this being attributed to a high level of standardisation in over one hundred naval power plants and in their maintenance, and the high quality of the Navy's training program. Until the 1980s, the Soviet naval record stood in marked contrast. Defence in depth To achieve optimum safety, nuclear plants in the western world operate using a 'defence-in-depth' approach, with multiple safety systems supplementing the natural features of the reactor core. Key aspects of the approach are: high-quality design & construction, equipment which prevents operational disturbances or human failures and errors developing into problems, comprehensive monitoring and regular testing to detect equipment or operator failures, redundant and diverse systems to control damage to the fuel and prevent significant radioactive releases, provision to confine the effects of severe fuel damage (or any other problem) to the plant itself. These can be summed up as: Prevention, Monitoring, and Action (to mitigate consequences of failures). The safety provisions include a series of physical barriers between the radioactive reactor core and the environment, the provision of multiple safety systems, each with backup and designed to accommodate human error. Safety systems account for about one quarter of the capital cost of such reactors. As well as the physical aspects of safety, there are institutional aspects which are no less important - see following section on International Collaboration. The barriers in a typical plant are: the fuel is in the form of solid ceramic (UO2) pellets, and radioactive fission products remain largely bound inside these pellets as the fuel is burned. The pellets are packed inside sealed zirconium alloy tubes to form fuel rods. These are confined inside a large steel pressure vessel with walls up to 30 cm thick – the associated primary water cooling pipework is also substantial. All this, in turn, is enclosed inside a robust reinforced concrete containment structure with walls at least one metre thick. This amounts to three significant barriers around the fuel, which itself is stable up to very high temperatures. These barriers are monitored continually. The fuel cladding is monitored by measuring the amount of radioactivity in the cooling water. The high pressure cooling system is monitored by the leak rate of water, and the containment structure by periodically measuring the leak rate of air at about five times atmospheric pressure. Looked at functionally, the three basic safety functions in a nuclear reactor are: to control reactivity, to cool the fuel and to contain radioactive substances. The main safety features of most reactors are inherent - negative temperature coefficient and negative void coefficient. The first means that beyond an optimal level, as the temperature increases the efficiency of the reaction decreases (this in fact is used to control power levels in some new designs). The second means that if any steam has formed in the cooling water there is a decrease in moderating effect so that fewer neutrons are able to cause fission and the reaction slows down automatically. In the 1950s and 1960s some experimental reactors in Idaho were deliberately tested to destruction to verify that large reactivity excursions were self-limiting and would automatically shut down the fission reaction. These tests verified that this was the case. Beyond the control rods which are inserted to absorb neutrons and regulate the fission process, the main engineered safety provisions are the back-up emergency core cooling system (ECCS) to remove excess heat (though it is more to prevent damage to the plant than for public safety) and the containment. Traditional reactor safety systems are 'active' in the sense that they involve electrical or mechanical operation on command. Some engineered systems operate passively, eg pressure relief valves. Both require parallel redundant systems. Inherent or full passive safety design depends only on physical phenomena such as convection, gravity or resistance to high temperatures, not on functioning of engineered components. All reactors have some elements of inherent safety as mentioned above, but in some recent designs the passive or inherent features substitute for active systems in cooling etc. Such a design would have averted the Fukushima accident, where loss of electrical power resulted is loss of cooling function. The basis of design assumes a threat where due to accident or malign intent (eg terrorism) there is core melting and a breach of containment. This double possibility has been well studied and provides the basis of exclusion zones and contingency plans. Apparently during the Cold War neither Russia nor the USA targeted the other's nuclear power plants because the likely damage would be modest. Nuclear power plants are designed with sensors to shut them down automatically in an earthquake, and this is a vital consideration in many parts of the world. (See Nuclear Power Plants and Earthquakes paper) Severe accident management In both the Three Mile Island (TMI) and Fukushima accidents the problems started after the reactors were shut down – immediately at TMI and after an hour at Fukushima, when the tsunami arrived. The need to remove decay heat from the fuel was not met in each case, so core melting started to occur within a few hours. Cooling requires water circulation and an external heat sink. If pumps cannot run due to lack of power, gravity must be relied upon, but this will not get water into a pressurised system – either reactor pressure vessel or containment. Hence there is provision for relieving pressure, sometimes with a vent system, but this must work and be controlled without power. There is a question of filters or scrubbers in the vent system: these need to be such that they do not block due to solids being carried. Ideally any vent system should deal with any large amounts of hydrogen, as at Fukushima, and have minimum potential to spread radioactivity outside the plant. Filtered containment ventilation systems (FCVSs) are being retrofitted to some reactors which did not already have them, or any of sufficient capacity, following the Fukushima accident. The basic premise of a FCVS is that, independent of the state of the reactor itself, the catastrophic failure of the containment structure can be avoided by discharging steam, air and incondensable gases like hydrogen to the atmosphere. The Three Mile Island accident in 1979 demonstrated the importance of the inherent safety features. Despite the fact that about half of the reactor core melted, radionuclides released from the melted fuel mostly plated out on the inside of the plant or dissolved in condensing steam. The containment building which housed the reactor further prevented any significant release of radioactivity. The accident was attributed to mechanical failure and operator confusion. The reactor's other protection systems also functioned as designed. The emergency core cooling system would have prevented any damage to the reactor but for the intervention of the operators. Investigations following the accident led to a new focus on the human factors in nuclear safety. No major design changes were called for in western reactors, but controls and instrumentation were improved significantly and operator training was overhauled. At Fukushima Daiichi in March 2011 the three operating reactors shut down automatically, and were being cooled as designed by the normal residual heat removal system using power from the back-up generators, until the tsunami swamped them an hour later. The emergency core cooling systems then failed. Days later, a separate problem emerged as spent fuel ponds lost water. Analysis of the accident showed the need for more intelligent siting criteria than those used in the 1960s, and the need for better back-up power and post-shutdown cooling, as well as provision for venting the containment of that kind of reactor and other emergency management procedures. Nuclear plants have Severe Accident Mitigation Guidelines (SAMG, or in Japan: SAG), and most of these, including all those in the USA, address what should be done for accidents beyond design basis, and where several systems may be disabled. See section below. In 2007 the US NRC launched a research program to assess the possible consequences of a serious reactor accident. Its draft report was released nearly a year after the Fukushima accident had partly confirmed its findings. The State-of-the-Art Reactor Consequences Analysis (SOARCA) showed that a severe accident at a US nuclear power plant (PWR or BWR) would not be likely to cause any immediate deaths, and the risks of fatal cancers would be vastly less than the general risks of cancer. SOARCA's main conclusions fall into three areas: how a reactor accident progresses; how existing systems and emergency measures can affect an accident's outcome; and how an accident would affect the public's health. The principal conclusion is that existing resources and procedures can stop an accident, slow it down or reduce its impact before it can affect the public, but even if accidents proceed without such mitigation they take much longer to happen and release much less radioactive material than earlier analyses suggested. This was borne out at Fukushima, where there was ample time for evacuation – three days – before any significant radioactive releases. In 2015 the Canadian Nuclear Safety Commission (CNSC) released its Study of Consequences of a Hypothetical Severe Nuclear Accident and Effectiveness of Mitigation Measures . This was the result of research and analysis undertaken to address concerns raised during public hearings in 2012 on the environmental assessment for the refurbishment of Ontario Power Generation's (OPG's) Darlington nuclear power plant. The study involved identifying and modelling a large atmospheric release of radionuclides from a hypothetical severe nuclear accident at the four-unit Darlington power plant; estimating the doses to individuals at various distances from the plant, after factoring in protective actions such as evacuation that would be undertaken in response to such an emergency; and, finally, determining human health and environmental consequences due to the resulting radiation exposure. It concluded that there would be no detectable health effects or increase in cancer risk. A fuller write-up of it is on the World Nuclear News website. A different safety philosophy: Early Soviet-designed reactors The April 1986 disaster at the Chernobyl nuclear power plant in Ukraine was the result of major design deficiencies in the RBMK type of reactor, the violation of operating procedures and the absence of a safety culture. One peculiar feature of the RBMK design was that coolant failure could lead to a strong increase in power output from the fission process ( positive void coefficient). However, this was not the prime cause of the Chernobyl accident. It once and for all vindicated the desirability of designing with inherent safety supplemented by robust secondary safety provisions. By way of contrast to western safety engineering, the Chernobyl reactor did not have a containment structure like those used in the West or in post-1980 Soviet designs. The accident destroyed the reactor, and its burning contents dispersed radionuclides far and wide. This tragically meant that the results were severe, with 56 people killed, 28 of whom died within weeks from radiation exposure. It also caused radiation sickness in a further 200-300 staff and firefighters, and contaminated large areas of Belarus, Ukraine, Russia and beyond. It is estimated that at least 5% of the total radioactive material in the Chernobyl-4 reactor core was released from the plant, due to the lack of any containment structure. Most of this was deposited as dust close by. Some was carried by wind over a wide area. However, the problem here was not burning graphite as popularly quoted. The graphite was certainly incandescent as a result of fuel decay heat - sometimes over 1000°C - and some of it oxidised to carbon monoxide which burned along with the fuel cladding. About 130,000 people received significant radiation doses (i.e. above internationally accepted ICRP limits) and continue to be monitored. About 4000 cases of thyroid cancer in children have been linked to the accident. Most of these were curable, though about nine were fatal. No increase in leukaemia or other cancers have yet shown up, but some is expected. The World Health Organisation is closely monitoring most of those affected. The Chernobyl accident was a unique event and the only time in the history of commercial nuclear power that radiation-related fatalities occurred. The main positive outcome of this accident for the industry was the formation of the World Association of Nuclear Operators (WANO), building on the US precedent. The destroyed unit 4 was enclosed in a concrete shelter which is being replaced by a more permanent structure. An OECD expert report on it concluded that "the Chernobyl accident has not brought to light any new, previously unknown phenomena or safety issues that are not resolved or otherwise covered by current reactor safety programs for commercial power reactors in OECD Member countries. In other words, the concept of 'defence in depth' was conspicuous by its absence, and tragically shown to be vitally important. Apart from the RBMK reactor design, an early Russian PWR design, the VVER-440/V-230, gave rise to concerns in Europe, and a program was initiated to close these down as a condition of EU accession, along with Lithuania’s two RBMK units. See related papers on Early Soviet Reactors and EU Accession , and RBMK Reactors . However, after the US Atomic Energy Commission published General Design Criteria for Nuclear Power Plants in 1971, Russian PWR designs conformed, according to Rosatom. In particular, the VVER-440/V-213 Loviisa reactors in Finland were designed at that time and modified to conform. The first of these two came on line in 1977. A broader picture – other past accidents There have been a number of accidents in experimental reactors and in one military plutonium-producing reactor, including a number of core melts, but none of these has resulted in loss of life outside the actual plant, or long-term environmental contamination. Elsewhere (Safety of Nuclear Power info paper appendix) we tabulate these, along with the most serious commercial plant accidents. The list of ten probably corresponds to incidents rating 4 or higher on today’s International Nuclear Event Scale (Table 4). All except Browns Ferry and Vandellos involved damage to or malfunction of the reactor core. At Browns Ferry a fire damaged control cables and resulted in an 18-month shutdown for repairs; at Vandellos a turbine fire made the 17-year old plant uneconomic to repair. Mention should be made of the accident to the US Fermi-1 prototype fast breeder reactor near Detroit in 1966. Due to a blockage in coolant flow, some of the fuel melted. However no radiation was released off-site and no-one was injured. The reactor was repaired and restarted but closed down in 1972. The well-publicized criticality accident at Tokai Mura, Japan, in 1999 was at a fuel preparation plant for experimental reactors, and killed two workers from radiation exposure. Many other such criticality accidents have occurred, some fatal, and practically all in military facilities prior to 1980. A review of these is listed in the References. In an uncontained reactor accident such as at Windscale (a military facility) in 1957 and at Chernobyl in 1986, (and to some extent: Fukushima in 2011,) the principal health hazard is from the spread of radioactive materials, notably volatile fission products such as iodine-131 and caesium-137. These are biologically active, so that if consumed in food, they tend to stay in organs of the body. I-131 has a half-life of 8 days, so is a hazard for around the first month, (and apparently gave rise to the thyroid cancers after the Chernobyl accident). Caesium-137 has a half-life of 30 years, and is therefore potentially a long-term contaminant of pastures and crops. In addition to these, there is caesium-134 which has a half-life of about two years. While measures can be taken to limit human uptake of I-131, (evacuation of area for several weeks, iodide tablets), high levels of radioactive caesium can preclude food production from affected land for a long time. Other radioactive materials in a reactor core have been shown to be less of a problem because they are either not volatile (strontium, transuranic elements) or not biologically active (tellurium-132, xenon-133). Accidents in any field of technology provide valuable knowledge enabling incremental improvement in safety beyond the original engineering. Cars and airliners are the most obvious examples of this, but the chemical and oil industries can provide even stronger evidence. Civil nuclear power has greatly improved its safety in both engineering and operation over its 55 years of experience with very few accidents and major incidents to spur that improvement. The Fukushima Daiichi accident is the first since Three Mile Island in 1979 which will have significant implications, at least for older plants. Scrams, Seismic shutdowns A scram is a sudden reactor shutdown. When a reactor is scrammed, automatically due to seismic activity, or due to some malfunction, or manually for whatever reason, the fission reaction generating the main heat stops. However, considerable heat continues to be generated by the radioactive decay of the fission products in the fuel. Initially, for a few minutes, this is great - about 7% of the pre-scram level. But it drops to about 1% of the normal heat output after two hours, to 0.5% after one day, and 0.2% after a week. Even then it must still be cooled, but simply being immersed in a lot of water does most of the job after some time. When the water temperature is below 100°C at atmospheric pressure the reactor is said to be in "cold shutdown". European "stress tests" and US response following Fukushima accident Aspects of nuclear plant safety highlighted by the Fukushima accident were assessed in the 143 nuclear reactors in the EU's 27 member states, as well as those in any neighbouring states that decided to take part. These comprehensive and transparent nuclear risk and safety assessments, the so-called "stress tests", involved targeted reassessment of each power reactor’s safety margins in the light of extreme natural events, such as earthquakes and flooding, as well as on loss of safety functions and severe accident management following any initiating event. They were conducted from June 2011 to April 2012. They mobilized considerable expertise in different countries (500 man-years) under the responsibility of each national Safety Authority within the framework of the European Nuclear Safety Regulators Group (ENSREG). The Western European Nuclear Regulators' Association (WENRA) proposed these in response to a call from the European Council in March 2011, and developed specifications. WENRA is a network of Chief Regulators of EU countries with nuclear power plants and Switzerland, and has membership from 17 countries. It then negotiated the scope of the tests with the European Nuclear Safety Regulators Group (ENSREG), an independent, authoritative expert body created in 2007 by the European Commission comprising senior officials from the national nuclear safety, radioactive waste safety or radiation protection regulatory authorities from all 27 EU member states, and representatives of the European Commission. In June 2011 the governments of seven non-EU countries agreed to conduct nuclear reactor stress tests using the EU model. Armenia, Belarus, Croatia, Russia, Switzerland, Turkey and Ukraine signed a declaration that they would conduct stress tests and agreed to peer reviews of the tests by outside experts. Russia had already undertaken extensive checks. (Croatia is co-owner in the Krsko PWR in Slovenia, and Belarus and Turkey plan to build nuclear plants but have none now.) The reassessment of safety margins is based on the existing safety studies and engineering judgment to evaluate the behaviour of a nuclear power plant when facing a set of challenging situations. For a given plant, the reassessment reports on the most probable behaviour of the plant for each of the situations considered. The results of the reassessment were peer-reviewed and shared among regulators. WENRA noted that it remains a national responsibility to take or order any appropriate measures, such as additional technical or organisational safety provisions, resulting from the reassessment. The scope of the assessment took into account the issues directly highlighted by the events in Fukushima and the possibility for combination of initiating events. Two 'initiating events' were covered in the scope: earthquake and flooding. The consequences of these – loss of electrical power and station blackout, loss of ultimate heat sink and the combination of both – were analysed, with the conclusions being applicable to other general emergency situations. In accident scenarios, regulators consider power plants' means to protect against and manage loss of core cooling as well as cooling of used fuel in storage. They also study means to protect against and manage loss of containment integrity and core melting, including consequential effects such as hydrogen accumulation. Nuclear plant operators start by documenting each power plant site. This analysis of 'extreme scenarios' followed what ENSREG called a progressive approach "in which protective measures are sequentially assumed to be defeated" from starting conditions which "represent the most unfavourable operational states." The operators have to explain their means to maintain "the three fundamental safety functions (control of reactivity, fuel cooling confinement of radioactivity)" and support functions for these, "taking into account the probable damage done by the initiating event." The documents had to cover provisions in the plant design basis for these events and the strength of the plant beyond its design basis. This means the "design margins, diversity, redundancy, structural protection and physical separation of the safety relevant systems, structures and components and the effectiveness of the defence-in-depth concept." This had to focus on 'cliff-edge' effects, e.g. when back-up batteries are exhausted and station blackout is inevitable. For severe accident management scenarios they must identify the time before fuel damage is unavoidable and the time before water begins boiling in used fuel ponds and before fuel damage occurs. Measures to prevent hydrogen explosions and fires are to be part of this. Since the licensee has the prime responsibility for safety, they performed the reassessments, and the regulatory bodies then independently reviewed them. The exercise covered 147 nuclear plants in 15 EU countries – including Lithuania with only decommissioned plants – plus 15 reactors in Ukraine and five in Switzerland. Operators reported to their regulators who then reported progress to the European Commission by the end of 2011. Information was shared among regulators throughout this process before the 17 final reports went to peer-review by teams comprising 80 experts appointed by ENSREG and the European Commission. The final documents were published in line with national law and international obligations, subject only to not jeopardising security – an area where each country could behave differently. The process was extended to June 2012 to allow more plant visits and to add more information on the potential effect of aircraft impacts. The European Commission adopted, with ENSREG, the final stress tests Report on April 26, 2012 and issued the same day a joint statement underlining the quality of the exercise. The full report and a summary of the 45 recommendations were published on www.ensreg.eu . Drawing on the peer reviews, the EC and ENSREG cited four main areas for improving EU nuclear plant safety: Guidance from WENRA for assessing natural hazards and margins beyond design basis. Giving more importance to periodic safety reviews and evaluation of natural hazards. Urgent measures to protect containment integrity. Measures to prevent and mitigate accidents resulting from extreme natural hazards. The results of the stress tests pointed out, in particular, that European nuclear power plants offered a sufficient safety level to require no shutdown of any of them. At the same time, improvements were needed to enhance their robustness to extreme situations. In France, for instance, they were imposed by ASN requirements, which took into account exchanges with its European counterparts. A follow-up European action plan was established by ENSREG from July 2012. The EU process was completed at the end of September 2012, with the EU Energy Commissioner announcing that the stress tests had showed that the safety of European power reactors was generally satisfactory, but making some other comments and projections which departed from ENSREG. An EC report was presented to the EU Council in October 2012. In the USA the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) in March 2012 made orders for immediate post-Fukushima safety enhancements, likely to cost about $100 million across the whole US fleet. The first order requires the addition of equipment at all plants to help respond to the loss of all electrical power and the loss of the ultimate heat sink for cooling, as well as maintaining containment integrity. Another requires improved water level and temperature instrumentation on used fuel ponds. The third order applies only to the 33 BWRs with early containment designs, and will require 'reliable hardened containment vents' which work under any circumstances. The industry association, NEI, told the NRC that licensees with these Mark I and Mark II containments “should have the capability to use various filtration strategies to mitigate radiological releases” during severe events, and that filtration “should be founded on scientific and factual analysis and should be performance-based to achieve the desired outcome.” All the measures are supported by the industry association, which has also proposed setting up about six regional emergency response centres under NRC oversight with additional portable equipment. In Japan similar stress tests were carried out in 2011 under the previous safety regulator, but then reactor restarts were delayed until the newly constituted Nuclear Regulatory Authority devised and published new safety guidelines, then applied them progressively through the fleet. Severe Accident Management In addition to engineering and procedures which reduce the risk and severity of accidents, all plants have guidelines for Severe Accident Management or Mitigation (SAM). These conspicuously came into play after the Fukushima accident, where staff had immense challenges in the absence of power and with disabled cooling systems following damage done by the tsunami. The experience following that accident is being applied not only in design but also in such guidelines, and peer reviews on nuclear plants will focus more on these than previously. In mid-2011 the IAEA Incident and Emergency Centre launched a new secure web-based communications platform to unify and simplify information exchange during nuclear or radiological emergencies. The Unified System for Information Exchange on Incidents and Emergencies (USIE) has been under development since 2009 but was actually launched during the emergency response to the accident at Fukushima. Earthquakes and Volcanoes The International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) has a Safety Guide on Seismic Risks for Nuclear Power Plants, and the matter is dealt with in the WNA paper on Earthquakes and Nuclear Power Plants . Volcanic hazards are minimal for practically all nuclear plants, but the IAEA has developed a new Safety Guide on the matter. The Bataan plant in Philippines which has never operated, and the Armenian plant at Metsamor are two known to be in proximity to potential volcanic activity. Flooding – storms, tides and tsunamis Nuclear plants are usually built close to water bodies, for the sake of cooling. The site licence takes account of worst case flooding scenarios as well as other possible natural disasters and, more recently, the possible effects of climate change. As a result, all the buildings with safety-related equipment are situated on high enough platforms so that they stand above submerged areas in case of flooding events. As an example, French Safety Rules criteria for river sites define the safe level as above a flood level likely to be reached with one chance in one thousand years, plus 15%, and similar regarding tides for coastal sites. Occasionally in the past some buildings have been sited too low, so that they are vulnerable to flood or tidal and storm surge, so engineered countermeasures have been built. EDF's Blayais nuclear plant in western France uses seawater for cooling and the plant itself is protected from storm surge by dykes. However, in 1999 a 2.5 m storm surge in the estuary overtopped the dykes – which were already identified as a weak point and scheduled for a later upgrade – and flooded one pumping station. For security reasons it was decided to shut down the three reactors then under power (the fourth was already stopped in the course of normal maintenance). This incident was rated 2 on the INES scale. In 1994 the Kakrapar nuclear power plant near the west coast of India was flooded due to heavy rains together with failure of weir control for an adjoining water pond, inundating turbine building basement equipment. The back-up diesel generators on site enabled core cooling using fire water, a backup to process water, since the offsite power supply failed. Following this, multiple flood barriers were provided at all entry points, inlet openings below design flood level were sealed and emergency operating procedures were updated. In December 2004 the Madras NPP and Kalpakkam PFBR site on the east coast of India was flooded by a tsunami surge from Sumatra. Construction of the Kalpakkam plant was just beginning, but the Madras plant shut down safely and maintained cooling. However, recommendations including early warning system for tsunami and provision of additional cooling water sources for longer duration cooling were implemented. In March 2011 the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear plant was affected seriously by a huge tsunami induced by the Great East Japan Earthquake. Three of the six reactors were operating at the time, and had shut down automatically due to the earthquake. The back-up diesel generators for those three units were then swamped by the tsunami. This cut power supply and led to weeks of drama and loss of the reactors. The design basis tsunami height was 5.7 m for Daiichi (and 5.2 m for adjacent Daini, which was actually set a bit higher above sea level). Tsunami heights coming ashore were about 14 metres for both plants. Unit 3 of Daini was undamaged and continued to cold shutdown status, but the other units suffered flooding to pump rooms where equipment transfers heat from the reactor circuit to the sea – the ultimate heat sink. The maximum amplitude of this tsunami was 23 metres at point of origin, about 160 km from Fukushima. In the last century there had been eight tsunamis in the Japan region with maximum amplitudes above 10 metres (some much more), these having arisen from earthquakes of magnitude 7.7 to 8.4, on average one every 12 years. Those in 1983 and in 1993 were the most recent affecting Japan, with maximum heights 14.5 metres and 31 metres respectively, both induced by magnitude 7.7 earthquakes. This 2011 earthquake was magnitude 9. For low-lying sites, civil engineering and other measures are normally taken to make nuclear plants resistant to flooding. Lessons from Blayais have fed into regulatory criteria since 2000, and those from Fukushima will certainly do so. Sea walls are being built or increased at Hamaoka, Shimane, Mihama, Ohi, Takahama, Onagawa, and Higashidori plants. However, few parts of the world have the same tsunami potential as Japan, and for the Atlantic and Mediterranean coasts of Europe the maximum amplitude is much less than Japan. Hydrogen In any light-water nuclear power reactor, hydrogen is formed by radiolytic decomposition of water. This needs to be dealt with to avoid the potential for explosion with oxygen present, and many reactors have been retrofitted with passive autocatalytic hydrogen recombiners in their containment, replacing external recombiners that needed to be connected and powered, isolated behind radiological barriers. Also in some kinds of reactors, particularly early boiling water types, the containment is rendered inert by injection of nitrogen. It was reported that WANO may require all operators to have hydrogen recombiners in PWRs. As of early 2012, a few in Spain and Japan did not have them. In an accident situation such as at Fukushima where the fuel became very hot, a lot of hydrogen is formed by the oxidation of zirconium fuel cladding in steam at about 1300°C. This is beyond the capability of the normal hydrogen recombiners to deal with, and operators must rely on venting to atmosphere or inerting the containment with nitrogen. International collaboration to improve safety There is a lot of international collaboration, but it has evolved from the bottom, and only in 1990s has there been any real top-down initiative. In the aviation industry the Chicago Convention in the late 1940s initiated an international approach which brought about a high degree of design collaboration between countries, and the rapid universal uptake of lessons from accidents. There are cultural and political reasons for this which mean that even the much higher international safety collaboration since the 1990s is still less than in aviation. See also: paper on Cooperation in Nuclear Power Industry , especially for fuller description of WANO, focused on operation. World Association of Nuclear Operators There is a great deal of international cooperation on nuclear safety issues, in particular the exchange of operating experience under the auspices of the World Association of Nuclear Operators ( WANO ) which was set up in 1989. In practical terms this is the most effective international means of achieving very high levels of safety through its four major programs: peer reviews; operating experience; technical support and exchange; and professional and technical development. WANO peer reviews are the main proactive way of sharing experience and expertise, and by the end of 2009 every one of the world's commercial nuclear power plants had been peer-reviewed at least once. Following the Fukushima accident these have been stepped up to one every four years at each plant, with follow-up visits in between, and the scope extended from operational safety to include plant design upgrades. Pre-startup reviews of new plants are being increased. IAEA Convention on Nuclear Safety The IAEA Convention on Nuclear Safety (CNS) was drawn up during a series of expert level meetings from 1992 to 1994 and was the result of considerable work by Governments, national nuclear safety authorities and the IAEA Secretariat. Its aim is to legally commit participating States operating land-based nuclear power plants to maintain a high level of safety by setting international benchmarks to which States would subscribe. The obligations of the Parties are based to a large extent on the principles contained in the IAEA Safety Fundamentals document The Safety of Nuclear Installations. These obligations cover for instance, siting, design, construction, operation, the availability of adequate financial and human resources, the assessment and verification of safety, quality assurance and emergency preparedness. The Convention is an incentive instrument. It is not designed to ensure fulfillment of obligations by Parties through control and sanction, but is based on their common interest to achieve higher levels of safety. These levels are defined by international benchmarks developed and promoted through regular meetings of the Parties. The Convention obliges Parties to report on the implementation of their obligations for international peer review. This mechanism is the main innovative and dynamic element of the Convention. Under the Operational Safety Review Team (OSART) program dating from 1982 international teams of experts conduct in-depth reviews of operational safety performance at a nuclear power plant. They review emergency planning, safety culture, radiation protection, and other areas. OSART missions are on request from the government, and involve staff from regulators, in these respects differing from WANO peer reviews. The Convention entered into force in October 1996. As of September 2009, there were 79 signatories to the Convention, 66 of which are contracting parties, including all countries with operating nuclear power plants. The IAEA General Conference in September 2011 unanimously endorsed the Action Plan on Nuclear Safety that Ministers requested in June. The plan arose from intensive consultations with Member States but not with industry, and was described as both a rallying point and a blueprint for strengthening nuclear safety worldwide. It contains suggestions to make nuclear safety more robust and effective than before, without removing the responsibility from national bodies and governments. It aims to ensure "adequate responses based on scientific knowledge and full transparency". Apart from strengthened and more frequent IAEA peer reviews (including those of regulatory systems), most of the 12 recommended actions are to be undertaken by individual countries and are likely to be well in hand already. Following this, an extraordinary general meeting of 64 of the CNS parties in September 2012 gave a strong push to international collaboration in improving safety. National reports at future three-yearly CNS review meetings will cover a list of specific design, operational and organizational issues stemming from Fukushima lessons. They include further design features to avoid long-term offsite contamination and enhancement of emergency preparedness and response measures, including better definition of national responsibilities and improved international cooperation. Parties should also report on measures to "ensure the effective independence of the regulatory body from undue influence." In February 2015 diplomats from 72 countries unanimously adopted the Vienna Declaration of Nuclear Safety , setting out “principles to guide them, as appropriate, in the implementation of the objective of the CNS to prevent accidents with radiological consequences and mitigate such consequences should they occur” but rejected Swiss amendments to the CNS as impractical. However, in line with Swiss and EU intentions, "comprehensive and systematic safety assessments are to be carried out periodically and regularly for existing installations throughout their lifetime in order to identify safety improvements... Reasonably practicable or achievable safety improvements are to be implemented in a timely manner." IAEA Design Safety Reviews and Generic Reactor Safety Reviews An IAEA Design Safety Review (DSR) is performed at the request of a member state organization to evaluate the completeness and comprehensiveness of a reactor's safety documentation by an international team of senior experts. It is based on IAEA published safety requirements. If the DSR is for a vendor’s design at the pre-licensing stage, it is done using the Generic Reactor Safety Review (GRSR) module. IAEA Safety Standards applied in the DSR and GRSR at the fundamental and requirements level, are generic and apply to all nuclear installations. Therefore, it is neither intended nor possible to cover or substitute licensing activity, or to constitute any kind of design certification. DSRs have been undertaken in Pakistan, Ukraine, Bulgaria and Armenia. GRSRs have been done on AP1000 (USA & UK), Atmea1, APR1400, ACPR-1000+, ACP1000, and AES-2006 and VVER-TOI. Eastern Europe from 1980s In relation to Eastern Europe particularly, since the late 1980s a major international program of assistance was carried out by the OECD, IAEA and Commission of the European Communities to bring early Soviet-designed reactors up to near western safety standards, or at least to effect significant improvements to the plants and their operation. The European Union also brought pressure to bear, particularly in countries which aspired to EU membership. Modifications were made to overcome deficiencies in the 11 RBMK reactors still operating in Russia. Among other things, these removed the danger of a positive void coefficient response. Automated inspection equipment has also been installed in these reactors. The other class of reactors which has been the focus of international attention for safety upgrades is the first-generation of pressurised water VVER-440 reactors. The V-230 model was designed before formal safety standards were issued in the Soviet Union and they lack many basic safety features. Four are still operating in Russia and one in Armenia, under close inspection. Later Soviet-designed reactors are very much safer and have Western control systems or the equivalent, along with containment structures. Europe since 1999 The main European safety collaboration is through the European Nuclear Safety Regulators Group ( ENSREG ), an independent, authoritative expert body created in 2007 by the European Commission to revive the EU nuclear safety directive, which was passed in June 2009. It comprises senior officials from the national nuclear safety, radioactive waste safety or radiation protection regulatory authorities from all 27 EU member states, and representatives of the European Commission. It was preceded in 1999 by the Western European Nuclear Regulators' Association ( WENRA ), a network of Chief Regulators of EU countries with nuclear power plants and Switzerland, with membership from 17 countries. Ageing of nuclear plants; knowledge management Engineering Several issues arise in prolonging the lives of nuclear plants which were originally designed for nominal 30- or 40-year operating lives. Systems, structures and components (SSC) whose characteristics change gradually with time or use are the subject of attention, which is applied with vastly greater scientific and technical knowledge than that available to the original designers many decades ago. Some components simply wear out, corrode or degrade to a low level of efficiency. These need to be replaced. Steam generators are the most prominent and expensive of these, and many have been replaced after about 30 years where the reactor otherwise has the prospect of running for 60 years. This is essentially an economic decision. Lesser components are more straightforward to replace as they age, and some may be safety-related as well as economic. In PHWR units, notably CANDU reactors, pressure tube replacement has been undertaken on some older plants, after some 30 years of operation. Fuel channel integrity is another limiting factor for Candu reactors, and mid-life inspection and analysis can extend the original 175,000 full-power operating hours design assumption to 300,000 hours. A second issue is that of obsolescence. For instance, older reactors have analogue instrument and control systems, and a question must be faced regarding whether these are replaced with digital in a major mid-life overhaul, or simply maintained. Thirdly, the properties of materials may degrade with age, particularly with heat and neutron irradiation. In some early Russian pressurized water reactors, the pressure vessel is relatively narrow and is thus subject to greater neutron bombardment that a wider one. This raises questions of embrittlement, and has had to be checked carefully before extending licences. In some Russian and UK plants (RBMK, AGR), graphite is used as the moderator. The graphite blocks cannot be replaced during the operating life of the reactors. However, radiation damage changes the shape and size of the crystallites that comprise graphite, giving some dimensional change and degradation of the structural properties of the graphite. For continued operation, it is therefore necessary to demonstrate that the graphite can still perform its intended role irrespective of the degradation, or undergo some repair. In Russia, after dismantling the pressure tubes, longitudinal cutting of a limited number of deformed graphite columns returns the graphite stack geometry to a condition that meets the initial design requirements. Leningrad 1 was the first RBMK reactor to undergo this over 2012-13. In respect to all these aspects, periodic safety reviews are undertaken on most older plants in line with the IAEA safety convention and WANO's safety culture principles to ensure that safety margins are maintained. The IAEA undertakes Safety Aspects of Long-Term Operation (SALTO) evaluations of reactors on request from member countries. These SALTO missions check both physical and organizational aspects, and function as an international peer review of the national regulator. They are backed up by the IAEA International Generic Ageing Lessons Learned (IGALL) program which is documented in databases and publications, in the form of downloadable safety guides and reports on ageing. Equipment performance is constantly monitored to identify faults and failures of components. Preventative maintenance is adapted and scheduled in the light of this, to ensure that the overall availability of systems important for both safety and plant availability are within the design basis, or better than the original design basis. Collecting reliability and performance data is of the utmost importance, as well as analysing them, for tracking indicators that might be signs of ageing, or indicative of potential problems having been under-estimated, or of new problems. The results of this monitoring and analysis are often shared Industry-wide through INPO and WANO networks. The use of probabilistic safety analysis makes possible risk-informed decisions regarding maintenance and monitoring programs, so that adequate attention is given to the health of every piece of equipment in the plant. This process is similar to that in other industries where safety is paramount, eg aviation. Reliability Centered Maintenance was adapted from civil aviation in the 1980s for instance, and led to nuclear industry review of existing maintenance programs. In the USA most of the one hundred reactors are expected to be granted licence extensions from 40 to 60 years. This justifies significant capital expenditure in upgrading systems and components, including building in extra performance margins. There is widespread agreement that further extensions may be justified, to 80 years, and this prospect is driving research on ageing to ensure both safety and reliability in older plants. Knowledge management The IAEA has a safety knowledge base for ageing and long-term operation of nuclear power plants (SKALTO) which aims to develop a framework for sharing information on ageing management and long term operation of nuclear power plants. It provides published documents and information related to this. Knowledge management in relation to the original design basis of reactors becomes an issue with corporate reorganisation or demise of vendors, coupled with changes made over several decades. While operators usually have good records, some regulators do not. Design Basis Knowledge Management (DKM) is an issue receiving a lot of attention in the last ten years or so. Nuclear DKM addresses the specific needs of nuclear plants and organizations. Its scope extends from research and development, through design and engineering, construction, commissioning, operations, maintenance, refurbishment and long-term operation (LTO), waste management, to decommissioning. Nuclear DKM issues and priorities are often unique to the particular circumstances of individual countries and their regulators as well as other nuclear industry organizations. Nuclear DKM may focus on knowledge creation, identification, sharing, transfer, protection, validation, storage, dissemination, preservation or utilization. Nuclear DKM practices may enhance and support traditional business functions and goals such as human resource management, training, planning, operations, maintenance, and much more. There must always be a responsible owner of the DKM system for any plant. In most cases this will be the operator, however, based on a variety of changes such as market conditions, the responsible owner may change over time. An effective nuclear DKM system should be focused on strengthening and aligning the knowledge base in three primary knowledge domains in an organization: people, processes and technology, each of which must also be considered within the context of the organizational culture. Knowledge management policies and practices should help create a supportive organizational culture that recognizes the value of nuclear knowledge and promotes effective processes to maintain it. In Canada, the Pickering A – Bruce A saga is a cautionary tale (and classic industry case study) regarding DKM. By the mid-1990s there was a divergence between drawings and modifications which had progressively been made, and also the operating company had not shared operating experience with the designer. Maintenance standards fell and costs rose. A detailed audit in 1997-98 showed that the design basis was not being maintained and that 4000 additional staff would be required to correct the situation at all Ontario Hydro plants, so the two A plants (eight units) were shut down so that staff could focus on the 12 units not needing so much attention. From 2003, six of the eight A units were returned to service with design basis corrected, having been shut down for several years – a significant loss of asset base for the owners. Reporting nuclear incidents The International Nuclear Event Scale (INES) was developed by the IAEA and OECD in 1990 to communicate and standardise the reporting of nuclear incidents or accidents to the public. The scale runs from a zero event with no safety significance to 7 for a "major accident" such as Chernobyl. Three Mile Island rated 5, as an "accident with off-site risks" though no harm to anyone, and a level 4 "accident mainly in installation" occurred in France in 1980, with little drama. Another accident rated at level 4 occurred in a fuel processing plant in Japan in September 1999. Other accidents have been in military plants . The International Nuclear Event Scale For prompt communication of safety significance Level, Descriptor Source: International Atomic Energy Agency Security – terrorism, etc Since the World Trade Centre attacks in New York in 2001 there has been increased concern about the consequences of a large aircraft being used to attack a nuclear facility with the purpose of releasing radioactive materials. Various studies have looked at similar attacks on nuclear power plants. They show that nuclear reactors would be more resistant to such attacks than virtually any other civil installations – see Appendix 3. A thorough study was undertaken by the US Electric Power Research Institute (EPRI) using specialist consultants and paid for by the US Dept. of Energy. It concludes that US reactor structures "are robust and (would) protect the fuel from impacts of large commercial aircraft". The analyses used a fully-fuelled Boeing 767-400 of over 200 tonnes as the basis, at 560 km/h – the maximum speed for precision flying near the ground. The wingspan is greater than the diameter of reactor containment buildings and the 4.3 tonne engines are 15 metres apart. Hence analyses focused on single engine direct impact on the centreline – since this would be the most penetrating missile – and on the impact of the entire aircraft if the fuselage hit the centreline (in which case the engines would ricochet off the sides). In each case no part of the aircraft or its fuel would penetrate the containment. Other studies have confirmed these findings. Penetrating (even relatively weak) reinforced concrete requires multiple hits by high speed artillery shells or specially-designed "bunker busting" ordnance – both of which are well beyond what terrorists are likely to deploy. Thin-walled, slow-moving, hollow aluminum aircraft, hitting containment-grade heavily-reinforced concrete disintegrate, with negligible penetration. But further (see Sept 2002 Science paper and Jan 2003 Response & Comments), realistic assessments from decades of analyses, lab work and testing, find that the consequence of even the worst realistic scenarios – core melting and containment failure – can cause few if any deaths to the public, regardless of the scenario that led to the core melt and containment failure. This conclusion was documented in a 1981 EPRI study, reported and widely circulated in many languages, by Levenson and Rahn in Nuclear Technology. In 1988 Sandia National Laboratories in USA demonstrated the unequal distribution of energy absorption that occurs when an aircraft impacts a massive, hardened target. The test involved a rocket-propelled F4 Phantom jet (about 27 tonnes, with both engines close together in the fuselage) hitting a 3.7m thick slab of concrete at 765 km/h. This was to see whether a proposed Japanese nuclear power plant could withstand the impact of a heavy aircraft. It showed how most of the collision energy goes into the destruction of the aircraft itself – about 96% of the aircraft's kinetic energy went into the its destruction and some penetration of the concrete – while the remaining 4% was dissipated in accelerating the 700-tonne slab. The maximum penetration of the concrete in this experiment was 60 mm, but comparison with fixed reactor containment needs to take account of the 4% of energy transmitted to the slab. See also video clip . As long ago as the late 1970s, the UK Central Electricity Generating Board considered the possibility of a fully-laden and fully-fuelled large passenger aircraft being hijacked and deliberately crashed into a nuclear reactor. The main conclusions were that an airliner would tend to break up as it hit various buildings such as the reactor hall, and that those pieces would have little effect on the concrete biological shield surrounding the reactor. Any kerosene fire would also have little effect on that shield. In the 1980s in the USA, at least some plants were designed to take a hit from a fully-laden large military transport aircraft and still be able to achieve and maintain cold shutdown. The study of a 1970s US power plant in a highly-populated area is assessing the possible effects of a successful terrorist attack which causes both meltdown of the core and a large breach in the containment structure – both extremely unlikely. It shows that a large fraction of the most hazardous radioactive isotopes, like those of iodine and tellurium, would never leave the site. Much of the radioactive material would stick to surfaces inside the containment or becomes soluble salts that remain in the damaged containment building. Some radioactive material would nonetheless enter the environment some hours after the attack in this extreme scenario and affect areas up to several kilometres away. The extent and timing of this means that with walking-pace evacuation inside this radius it would not be a major health risk. However it could leave areas contaminated and hence displace people in the same way as a natural disaster, giving rise to economic rather than health consequences. Looking at spent fuel storage pools, similar analyses showed no breach. Dry storage and transport casks retained their integrity. "There would be no release of radionuclides to the environment". Similarly, the massive structures mean that any terrorist attack even inside a plant (which are well defended) and causing loss of cooling, core melting and breach of containment would not result in any significant radioactive releases. However, while the main structures are robust, the 2001 attacks did lead to increased security requirements and plants were required by NRC to install barriers, bulletproof security stations and other physical modifications which in the USA are estimated by the industry association to have cost some $2 billion across the country. See also Science magazine article 2002 and Appendix 3 . Switzerland's Nuclear Safety Inspectorate studied a similar scenario and reported in 2003 that the danger of any radiation release from such a crash would be low for the older plants and extremely low for the newer ones. The conservative design criteria which caused most power reactors to be shrouded by massive containment structures with biological shield has provided peace of mind in a suicide terrorist context. Ironically and as noted earlier, with better understanding of what happens in a core melt accident inside, they are now seen to be not nearly as necessary in that accident mitigation role as was originally assumed. Advanced reactor designs The designs for nuclear plants being developed for implementation in coming decades contain numerous safety improvements based on operational experience. The first two of these advanced reactors began operating in Japan in 1996. One major feature they have in common (beyond safety engineering already standard in Western reactors) is passive safety systems, requiring no operator intervention in the event of a major malfunction. The main metric used to assess reactor safety is the likelihood of the core melting due to loss of coolant. These new designs are one or two orders of magnitude less likely than older ones to suffer a core melt accident, but the significance of that is more for the owner and operator than the neighbours, who - as Three Mile Island and Fukushima showed - are safe also with older types. (As mentioned in the box above, studies related to the 1970s plant in USA show that even with a breach of containment as well, the consequences would not be catastrophic.) Safety relative to other energy sources Many occupational accident statistics have been generated over the last 40 years of nuclear reactor operations in the US and UK. These can be compared with those from coal-fired power generation. All show that nuclear is a distinctly safer way to produce electricity. Deaths from energy-related accidents per unit of electricity Source: Paul Scherrer Institut 1998, considering 1943 accidents with more than five fatalities. One TW.yr is the amount of electricity used by the world in about five months. Coal-fired power generation has chronic, rather than acute, safety implications for public health. It also has profound safety implications for the mining of coal, with thousands of workers killed each year in coal mines (see Appendix). Hydro power generation has a record of few but very major events causing thousands of deaths. In 1975 when the Banqiao, Shimantan & other dams collapsed in Henan, China, at least 30,000 people were killed immediately and some 230,000 overall, with 18 GWe lost. In 1979 and 1980 in India some 3500 were killed by two hydro-electric dam failures, and in 2009 in Russia 75 were killed by a hydro power plant turbine disintegration. Three simple sets of figures are quoted in the Tables below and that in the appendix . A major reason for coal's unfavourable showing is the huge amount which must be mined and transported to supply even a single large power station. Mining and multiple handling of so much material of any kind involves hazards, and these are reflected in the statistics.

How is DiHydrogen Oxide better known?	Urban Dictionary: dihydrogen monoxide dihydrogen monoxide Dihydrogen Monoxide (DHMO) is a colorless and odorless chemical compound, also referred to by some as Dihydrogen Oxide, Hydrogen Hydroxide, Hydronium Hydroxide, or simply Hydric acid. Its basis is the unstable radical Hydroxide, the components of which are found in a number of caustic, explosive and poisonous compounds such as Sulfuric Acid, Nitroglycerine and Ethyl Alcohol. For more detailed information, including precautions, disposal procedures and storage requirements, refer to the Material Safety Data Sheet (MSDS) for Dihydrogen Monoxide. ...Dihydrogen monoxide is water/H20. Dihydrogen Monoxide as a toxic or carcinogenic substance (as it does with better known chemicals such as hydrochloric acid and saccharine), DHMO is a constituent of many known toxic substances, diseases and disease-causing agents, environmental hazards and can even be lethal to humans in quantities as small as a thimbleful. by brendan December 09, 2004 dihydrogen monoxide water, H2O dihydrogen monoxide: It's more commonly known as water. You know, the substance that every single living being relies on to survive? The origins of this item are multifold, from flyers circulated at the University of California at Santa Cruz in 1989 (so 20th century!) to a junior high school student who surveyed 50 classmates in 1997 and got 43 of them to sign his petition to ban the chemical. He then won a prize at his science fair for his project, called "How Gullible Are We?" Several Web pages touting the chemical's dangers are still live. Don't feel too bad if you've ever fallen victim to this hoax; even a government official in New Zealand took the bait last year. Dihydrogen Monoxide Dihydrogen Monoxide is a prevalent compound that is the key ingredient in most pesticides. DHMO contributes to environmental hazards such as acid rain, the greenhouse effect, and soil erosion. DHMO poisoning causes a sometimes fatal electrolyte imbalance in the bloodstream, and can cause excessive sweating, increased urination, and sometimes vomiting. Dihydrogen Monoxide also reacts explosively with alkaline earth metals such as lithium, sodium, potassium etc. Prolonged, unprotected exposure to solid DHMO, or inhaling it can be fatal. Despite these dangers, DHMO is used ubiquitously by industries, and is readily available to the public. Join the fight, and help get this troublesome, and potentially lethal chemical banned. SAY 'NO' TO DIHYDROGEN MONOXIDE! Dihydrogen monoxide Dihydrogen monoxide (DHMO) is a combination of 2 hydrogen and 1 oxygen (di = 2, mon = 1), which creates H2O. It is a completely safe element, but a hoax that was created in the 1990's as an April Fools joke got popular that said that DHMO was a chemical that was a substance that was contained in things such as acid rain, nuclear power plants, etc. John: "Have you heard about the chemical Dihydrogen monoxide? I read that it was really dangerous and it's even in our water and food!" Steve: "No, that is just water. Do more research and don't believe everything you read online."	Water
Which two elements would you find at the centre of the Earth?	Vin Suprynowicz » Blog Archive » The deadly dangers of di-hydrogen oxide The deadly dangers of di-hydrogen oxide It qualifies as an old schoolboy joke, by now, right up there with “Do you have Prince Albert in a can?” Inform someone that the substance di-hydrogen oxide is so corrosive that a new steel nail exposed to the stuff will rust within hours; so deadly that a person attempting to breathe a pure di-hydrogen oxide atmosphere will die of asphyxiation in less than a minute. Now ask the subject whether he or she agrees this di-hydrogen oxide stuff should be tightly regulated by the Environmental Protection Agency — labeled as a poison, kept out of the hands of children, and so forth. Di-hydrogen oxide is better known as “water.” You can’t breathe it, and it will rust nails, but it’s also a wonderful substance absolutely necessary to human — and virtually every other kind of — life. The bureaucracy necessary to regulate it as though it were a poison would be vastly wasteful and absurd. (“Warning: attempting to inhale contents of this bottle can cause brain damage or death. …”) Similarly, carbon dioxide is not a toxin (unless, as in the example above, you try to breathe an atmosphere of PURE carbon dioxide, in which case the real problem is not toxicity but oxygen displacement.) In fact, carbon dioxide is naturally occurring in the atmosphere and is vital to plant life and the ecology of the planet. Attempting to limit the production and release of carbon dioxide is as absurd as attempting to restrict human access to water. Yet the bizarre notion in current vogue is that the man-made generation of carbon dioxide (as a by-product of energy production, for example) — which is dwarfed by the quantities of naturally occurring carbon dioxide in the atmosphere — contributes enough to ongoing “global warming” to constitute an imminent danger to human life. Two years ago the Supreme Court ruled that under the Clean Air Act, if greenhouse gases are found to endanger public health or welfare, then they must be regulated. That may indeed be a proper reading of the law, in which case the Supreme Court was only doing its job. Any sane White House and Congress would have responded in the same manner as if the court had pointed out that some law had the unintended consequence of requiring the Environmental Protection Agency to regulate water as a toxin. They simply would have gone back and re-written the law to have a more limited impact. Instead, the Bush administration did something more politically expedient. It simply declined to make a finding that greenhouse gases endanger public health or welfare — while leaving the overly broad law on the books. Now the Democrats are in charge, and the problem with the grown-ups not having gone back to fix the underlying problem grows obvious. The Associated Press reported Monday that the Obama White House is reviewing a new finding by the Environmental Protection Agency that global warming is, indeed, a threat to public health and welfare. “The EPA action is the first step to regulating carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases under the Clean Air Act, a move that would have broad economic and environmental impacts,” The AP reports, in a masterpiece of understatement. The goal here is nothing short of an enormously cumbersome federal regulation and add-on taxation of all American heavy industry — especially energy production — regardless of the cost. Or, to be more accurate, with higher costs being seen as a good thing, by Luddites who hope to destroy our industrial civilization, which they see as “unclean.” A new economic study released Tuesday confirms earlier findings that a Western carbon cap-and-trade scheme pushed by a handful of western governors, the Western Governors Association and some environmental groups could cost the West hundreds of thousands of jobs, slow investment and cut personal income for millions of citizens. The study ( http://www.beaconhill.org/BHIStudies/WCI-2009/WCIReportFinal090323.pdf ) also found that the Western Climate Initiative (WCI) — backed by leaders of seven Western states but not by Nevada — would require those states to dramatically increase the number of government employees hired at taxpayer expense. The analysis was conducted by economists at the Beacon Hill Institute of Suffolk University in Boston. The BHI study authors concluded: “Using the Western Climate Initiative’s own projections of increases in fuel costs, BHI finds that the policies will decrease employment, investment, personal income and disposable income.” None of the seven WCI states would escape economic harm should cap-and-trade be imposed, the study found. Nor does the argument that “The EPA will be reasonable” carry much weight. First, this is the same federal government that took the law so literally it tried to require the Hooters restaurant chain to hire male “Hooters Girls.” But second, even should the EPA try to wield its proposed new powers with a light hand, the green extremists will be right there to file their lawsuits, insisting the EPA isn’t doing enough to “protect us.” From what? Many scientists say the current harsh winter is no coincidence — the minor “global warming” which was ongoing in recent decades may have slowed or ended. Scares about “holes in the ozone layer” turn out to have been groundless. If the globe WERE to continue warming at a rate of about one degree per century, the biggest impact on mankind would likely be that food could be grown a hundred miles further north. Carbon dioxide from any source (and most, recall, is naturally occurring) is a minor component of the atmosphere and a far less significant contributor to the “greenhouse effect” than other greenhouse gases including water vapor, anyway. Ice core samples going back hundreds of thousands of years show carbon dioxide levels rise AFTER normal, inevitable, cyclical temperature increases — indicating they’re not causative, but rather a trailing indicator. (It’s more likely the regular waves of global warming and cooling are triggered by solar activity.) The danger is that — just as deadly absurdities from witch-burnings to the Crusades could be justified centuries ago by insisting “It’s God’s will,” so may today’s populace be drawn into behaviors suicidal for our economy by the shriek that “Science says we have to do SOMETHING!” And here I thought “science” was a discipline that valued reason and skepticism, while occasionally demanding experimental proofs.

Which element was known as the King of Metals?	Arsenic: A Murderous History - Dartmouth Toxic Metals Superfund Research Program Arsenic: A Murderous History The King of Poisons Albertus Magnus is usually accredited with the discovery of arsenic around 1250 Since the very earliest of times poisons have been used as a means for settling old scores, instruments for personal advancement, as a means to execute criminals and by those who found life to be an intolerable burden. The ancient Greeks and Romans, who could seldom agree on anything, were both masters of this practice, but, of course, they selected different agents. The most commonly used toxin in Greece was the water hemlock, a plant in the carrot family not to be confused with the evergreen conifer common in New England. Plato immortalized hemlock, which is said to be the most violently poisonous plant in the North Temperate Zone, in his description of the death of Socrates. In the rest of Europe from the time of the Roman Empire through the Middle Ages and the Renaissance, arsenic was the king of poisons. Mineral forms of arsenic were known as early as the fourth century BC, but the German scholastic Albertus Magnus is usually accredited with the discovery of the element around 1250. The first precise directions for the preparation of metallic arsenic, however, are found in the writings of Paracelsus, a physician-alchemist in the late Middle Ages who is often called the father of modern toxicology. Paracelsus, a physician-alchemist in the late Middle Ages, is often called the father of modern toxicology A Secret Weapon Dioscorides, a Greek physician in the court of the Roman Emperor Nero, described arsenic as a poison in the first century. Its ideal properties for sinister uses included its lack of color, odor or taste when mixed in food or drink and its ubiquitous distribution in nature, which made it readily available to all classes of society. Symptoms of arsenic poisoning were difficult to detect, since they could mimic food poisoning and other common disorders. There could be no doubt about arsenic's efficacy as a single large dose, which provoked violent abdominal cramping, diarrhea and vomiting, often followed by death from shock. Arsenic could also be given as a series of smaller doses, producing a more subtle form of chronic poisoning characterized by a loss of strength, confusion and paralysis. Eventually, the arsenic of choice emerged as so-called white arsenic or arsenic trioxide (As2O3); the fatal dose was known to be an amount equivalent in size to a pea. All of the above properties of arsenic contributed to its alleged widespread use in antiquity as a homicidal agent. Doubtless it is an exaggeration, but it has been said of this period that poisonings were so common that few believed in the natural deaths of princes, kings, or cardinals. Whatever the true extent of its covert use, arsenic has engendered a body of legends so tangled that reliable sources today disagree about many of the specifics. Poison and Politics During the fourth century BC, the Romans made considerable use of poisons in politics. In this same period a conspiracy was uncovered involving a group of women who schemed to poison men whose deaths would profit them. In 82 BC, in an attempt to stem what was becoming an epidemic of large-scale poisonings, the Roman dictator and constitutional reformer Lucius Cornelius Sulla issued the Lex Cornelia, probably the first law against poisoning. Poison and politics were also intertwined in the early Renaissance period in Italy. Records of the city councils of Florence during this period contain detailed testimony naming victims, prices and contracts, complete with dates that transactions were completed and payments made. Among the most infamous of poisoners was a woman known as Toffana who made arsenic-laced cosmetics and instructed women on their use. Another woman, known as Hieronyma Spara, organized group instruction in the homicidal uses of arsenic for a number of young married women who wanted to better their station in life by becoming wealthy young widows. Reports of death by arsenic containing cosmetics continued through the twentieth century. The Gift of the Borgias Cesare Borgias In Italy during the Middle Ages the most widely accused of poisoners were the Borgias, Pope Alexander VI, and his son, Cesare. In Italy, during the Middle Ages, the most widely accused of poisoners were the Borgias, Pope Alexander VI, and his son, Cesare. Most say that Cesare's half-sister, Lucretia, was innocent of the Borgias's involvement in wholesale applied toxicology, but even today her name is irrevocably linked to the surreptitious use of arsenic. It was perhaps not surprising for the Borgias to specialize in dispatching bishops and cardinals. As the Pope, Alexander VI appointed cardinals who were not only allowed but encouraged to increase their personal wealth through perquisites granted by the church. The nouveau riche pillar of propriety would then be invited to one or more sumptuous meals with the Borgias. There are those who say that arsenic actually improves the taste of wine. Whether true or not, the Borgias made certain that their guest consumed as much of the doctored drink as possible. Following the inevitable and untimely death of the victim, ownership of his property - by church law - reverted to his executioners. So diligently did the Borgias apply their craft that they soon numbered among the wealthiest and most powerful men in all of Italy. Their cause was furthered by Lucretia's successful three marriages into money and station and by Cesare's position as captain-general of the papal army. But the dynasty was finally broken in a poetic stroke of justice. On an occasion when some cardinals were scheduled later in the evening to receive the Borgia's hospitality, the Pope and Cesare returned home early and called for a bottle of wine in premature celebration. Whether by accident or design, a servant brought the wrong bottle. The Pope died, but Cesare, after having a mule slaughtered and dressed, wrapped the carcass about himself in accord with the ancient superstition that entering the body of an animal warded off the effects of poisons. His recovery seems to be the only known proof that such a remedy actually works, but he was never again to be in a position of wealth and power. The origin of the expression "the gift of the Borgias" is obscure, but it might have reflected the sarcastic wit of some unknown historian. It may be relevant that the German word "gift" means both poison and malice. More Murders and Accidents There have long been rumors to suggest that the final agonies of Napoleon Bonaparte in 1821 were due to the repeated administration of arsenic by someone in his cortege. This tale persists despite the failure of modern science to confirm the presence of excess arsenic in hair samples from Napoleon's corpse. In his book Weird and Tragic Shores, Chauncey Loomis, a former professor of English at Dartmouth College, made a case for the homicidal arsenic poisoning of a tyrannical Arctic explorer, Charles Francis Hall. Perhaps Hall, who was born in Rochester, New Hampshire, should not have imposed his harsh discipline so indiscriminately among his crew. When Claire Booth Luce was the United States ambassador to Italy, she became a victim of arsenic poisoning because of the continual flaking of an arsenic-based paint from the embassy dining room ceiling onto her dinners. She was forced to resign her position because of ill health brought on by that exposure. Within months of each other in 1878, two women were found murdered near their homes in New Haven, Conn. One had been savagely beaten and left in a wooded area; the body of the other was found floating in the water near an amusement park. Surprisingly, autopsies in both cases found that the women had been poisoned by enormous doses of arsenic. The tragedies and subsequent murder trials, along with a glimpse into the seamy side of the Gilded Age, are described in Arsenic Under the Elms, by Virginia A. McConnell. As recently as 1998, arsenic was implicated in a sensational mass poisoning in Japan in which four people died and 40 were hospitalized. Arsenic trioxide had been added to pots of curried beef, which were served at a village festival. The trial process is expected to go on for years; the evidence against the accused and their motive(s) is still murky. The Arsenic Eaters As documented in the mid-1800s, mountaineers of central Austria (Styria) made a habit of consuming arsenic preparations once or twice a week as a general stimulant and tonic. They became known as "arsenic eaters," and some were reputed to have adopted the practice as a means of building up a tolerance against poisoning by their enemies. The acquisition of a modest degree of tolerance has, in fact, been documented in laboratory animals, but its physiological basis is not clear. The Decline of Sinister Uses Beginning in the eighteenth century the incidence of poisonings began to wane as improved methods for detecting them in body fluids and excrement appeared. In 1836, an English chemist named James Marsh perfected a sensitive and specific chemical test for arsenic, and poisoners thereafter had little hope of escaping detection. But even as the sinister use of arsenic decreased, certain commercial applications were found, and various forms became common in the market place. Altruistic Uses of Arsenic Arsenic compounds began to be used in agriculture as ingredients in insecticides, rat poisons, herbicides and wood preservatives, as well as pigments in paints, wallpaper and ceramics. Although the agricultural uses would be recognized later as not particularly eco-friendly - especially when in the form of the then-popular lead arsenate sprays used against larvae of the gypsy moth and the boll weevil - they were among the most efficacious of their time. Even before these applications were widely employed, however, the most altruistic of all the uses for arsenic had been launched. Around 1900 in Frankfurt, Germany, a pharmacologist named Paul Ehrlich (not to be confused with The Population Bomb author) became preoccupied with the violently poisonous nature of arsenic. Ehrlich, however, was convinced that the toxic potential of arsenic could be harnessed and used therapeutically as a treatment for diseases such as syphilis. By chemically attaching arsenic to various carbon and hydrogen (organic) structures, he hoped to make it less accessible to binding cites on cells that produce adverse affects for humans and more specifically toxic for the infectious organisms. The search was tedious to say the least. Ehrlich patiently threaded his way through 604 different organic compounds of arsenic before he literally stumbled on number 605 to which he gave the grandiose name of Salvarsan. With brilliant insight, he even postulated that its antimicrobial activity might involve the binding of Salvarsan to sulfur groups on the microbes. As toxicologists now know, arsenic - and many other metals - are strongly attracted to sulfur; some of the sulfur in human proteins is critical to biological function. Salvarsan became the first drug that was safe enough to be given to humans and to be truly effective against the dread spirochete bacteria that causes syphilis. It was to be replaced immediately on the discovery of penicillin, but Salvarsan deserves its place in history. A Bracing Tonic Many other organic arsenical drugs were eventually introduced for use against various bacterial or parasitic infections, but few survived the introduction of antibiotics. One of the longest-lived medicinal preparations of arsenic was a solution of one-percent potassium arsenite called Fowler's Solution. Fowler's Solution was first used as a general tonic, but many reputable dermatologists felt it had value in the treatment of psoriasis. It was still being recommended in dermatology textbooks through the 1960's, although its effects by then were recognized in scientific sources, such as Torald Sollman's pharmacology text, as "capricious, unpredictable and uncontrollable both as to good and harm." In what may be another popular myth, Charles Darwin was reputed to have self-medicated with Fowler's Solution to the detriment of his health in later life. War Gas and Antidotes In 1940, it became known to Allied intelligence that the Germans had developed an organic blistering war gas containing arsenic, which was known by the code name of Lewisite. On contact with the skin the gas reacted with sulfur on keratin, a skin protein, to produce huge blisters that were made worse by the release of caustic hydrochloric acid, also produced by the chemical reaction. The British response to this threat was an intensive research program that culminated in the discovery of a simple sulfur-containing organic molecule which was highly effective in inactivating Lewisite on the skin, since it attracted arsenic away from biologically more important sites. This effective antidote became known by the acronym of BAL, for British Anti-Lewisite. Later it was given the generic name, dimercaprol. After the war, interest in dimercaprol continued, and in view of its low toxicity, it was tested against arsenic that had been taken internally. It was found to bind arsenic tenaciously and to hasten its excretion in the urine. It thus became the first rationally developed chelating agent - a chemical trap that sequesters and disables toxins. It is also used in treating people with mercury and gold poisoning. Arsenic and Bedrock Even purely altruistic efforts have resulted in chaos because of arsenic. The water supplies of much of the impoverished nation of Bangledesh consisted until recently of shallow wells that were often polluted by animal and human wastes. International efforts were mounted to provide better water supplies by digging deeper wells into aquifers. Many of these wells ended up tapping water from geologic formations naturally high in arsenic. As a result, thousands of people were poisoned. Natural arsenic contamination of drinking water supplies is also a problem in New Hampshire. Roger Smith PH.D. Professor of Pharmacology and Toxicology Emeritus Dartmouth Medical School.

Mary Phelps Jacob designed which item of clothing in 1914?	Mercury: Element of the Ancients - Dartmouth Toxic Metals Superfund Research Program Mercury: Element of the Ancients The Promise of Power Intriguing because of its silver hue and liquid state at room temperature, elemental mercury was known to the ancient Greeks, Romans, Chinese and Hindus. Each civilization had its own legends about mercury, and it was used as everything from a medicine to a talisman. Mercury's chemical symbol, Hg, comes from the Greek "hydrargyrum" meaning liquid silver. Mercury is also known as "quicksilver," a reference to its mobility. Speed and mobility were characteristics of the Roman god, Mercury, who served as a messenger to all the other gods and shared his name with the planet nearest the sun. The symbol for the planet was used by the alchemists to identify mercury before it was given its more modern chemical notation. Although mercury's mystique held the promise of power, many of the ancients also knew it to be toxic. It was in the mining of the element where mercury first became associated with human illness beginning as tremors and progressing to severe mental derangement. The largest natural source of mercury is cinnabar, its only known ore, and the richest deposits are found in Spain and Italy. This reddish mineral containing mercury and sulfur has been used as a pigment since prehistoric times. Cinnabar dating from 500 BC has been identified at a Mayan site in Guatemala, and prehistoric skulls painted with cinnabar have been found in Italy. The Romans used their mercury mines as penal institutions for criminals, slaves, and other undesirables. The warders were among the first to recognize that there was a high likelihood that the prisoners would become poisoned and spare the keepers the need for formal executions. Mercury is primarily a neurological poison, causing tremors, extreme mood changes, and eventually loss of hearing and restricted vision. Certain forms of mercury poisoning also cause damage to the liver and kidneys. The life span of a worker in those mines was tragically brief. From Mercury to Gold? In the ancient art of alchemy, mercury, sulfur, and salt were the Earth's three principle substances. The Hindu word for alchemy is "Rasasiddhi", meaning "knowledge of mercury." Believing that mercury was at the core of all metals, alchemists supposed that gold, silver, copper, tin, lead and iron were all mixtures of mercury and other substances. While alchemists in different cultures had different beliefs, one of the central themes to European alchemy was the belief that the correct combination of mercury and other ingredients would yield riches of gold. The Roman emperor Diocletian (245-313) issued an edict in the late 3rd century calling for the destruction of all written works dealing with alchemy. Diocletian feared that artificially created gold would debase the value of the Roman currency and allow alchemists to amass huge fortunes with which they could bribe officials and gain power. Chinese alchemist - Ko Hung False Promises of Longevity and Health The line between alchemy and medicine was not always clear. In 2nd century China, the study of mercury centered on a search for an elixir of life to confer longevity or immortality. The prominent Chinese alchemist Ko Hung, who lived in the 4th century, believed that man is what he eats, and so by eating gold he could attain perfection. Yet, he reasoned, a true believer was likely to be poor, and so it was necessary to find a substitute for the precious metal. This, in his estimation, could be accomplished by making gold from cinnabar. Ko Hung's other uses for cinnabar included smearing it on the feet to enable a person to walk on water, placing it over a doorway to ward off thieves, and combining it with raspberry juice to enable elderly men to beget children. In the era before antibiotics, sexually-transmitted diseases were deadly. Some scholars believe that syphilis was the most critical medical problem of the first half of the 16th century. A great number of printed works dealing with syphilis first appeared at the end of the 15th century when it was known by such names as "morbus gallicius," "the French disease," "the pox," and "lues venera." In the desperate search for a cure, it was almost inevitable that various forms of mercury would be tried. Indeed, the treatment appeared to benefit some patients. While it is unclear whether mercury actually did cure syphilis (some cases of the disease resolve spontaneously), the use of mercury therapy continued into the early 20th century. Mercury and Hatters The felt hat industry has been traced to the mid-17th century in France, and it was probably introduced into England some time around 1830. A story passed down in the hat industry gives this account of how mercury came to be used in the process: In Turkey camel hair was used for felt material, and it was discovered that the felting process was speeded up if the fibers were moistened with camel urine. It is said that in France workmen used their own urine, but one particular workman seemed consistently to produce a superior felt. This person was being treated with a mercury compound for syphilis, and an association was made between mercury treatment of the fibers and an improved felt. Danbury Hat Factory Eventually the use of solutions of mercuric nitrate was widespread in the felt industry, and mercury poisoning became endemic. Danbury, Connecticut, an important center of America's hat-making industry until men's hats went out of fashion in the 1960s, developed its own reputation for madness. Regionally, the "Danbury shakes" were a commonly recognized series of ailments. On December 1, 1941 the United States Public Health Service banned the use of mercury in the felt industry in this country. Although it has been suggested that the expression "mad as a hatter" and the character portrayed in Lewis Carroll's Alice in Wonderland may have other origins other than mercurialism among hatters, few can resist making this apocryphal analogy. Mercury in the Aquatic Food Web In nature mercury can be found in several forms. It can be converted from one form to another by natural processes. For example, when the elemental mercury released in emissions from coal-burning power plants or waste incinerators is deposited on lakes and streams it can be converted to inorganic mercury and then to organic forms by microorganisms. Some forms of mercury are particularly potent poisons. In 1958 a unique illness began to be recognized in the area around Minamata Bay, on the Japanese island of Kyushu. Sixty-eight people died while 397 others exhibited neurological problems. The highest rate of illness was among fishermen and their families. It turned out that chemical industries around the bay had been discharging inorganic mercury wastes into the waters, where anaerobic bacteria in the detritus on the floor of the bay converted the inorganic mercury into methylmercury. The methylmercury became concentrated as it was passed along natural food webs. It found its way into fish and shellfish that were consumed by people living around the bay. Scientists estimated that biomagnification in food chains may have been as high as a millionfold. Methylmercury produces a much more devastating human illness than inorganic mercury, affecting primarily the central nervous system with many neurologic disturbances including paralysis, "tunnel vision" and blindness. There is no effective antidote as there is for inorganic mercury salts, nor are there any truly efficacious means for hastening its excretion from the body. Unfortunately, methylmercury is also very dangerous to a developing fetus. Offspring exposed in utero, if they survive, may have an irreversible affliction resembling cerebral palsy. Experimentally, methylmercury has been shown to cause mutations in DNA as well. Since the Japanese community lived on locally caught fish, the problem was limited to a relatively small area and population, and the problem came to light quickly. While the local people were exposed to high levels, the contamination was not widespread beyond this region. Japanese officials were reluctant to publicize this incident, however, which might have prevented the occurrence of other episodes in subsequent years. A very similar poisoning, leaving 13 dead and 330 affected, took place in 1965 around Niigata, Japan, on the island of Honshu. There are a number of populations in the world that consume large amounts of mercury-contaminated fish, such as the indigenous populations of Cree and Inuit Native Americans living in the province of eastern Quebec, Canada. Some of these communities were displaced in a huge project to develop hydroelectric power. During the James Bay project by Hydro-Québec, the rerouting of rivers and massive flooding of previously dry lands mobilized environmental mercury that had always been in the soil. Bacterial action transformed some of that pool into methylmercury, which began to accumulate in natural food chains. Freshwater fish are a dietary staple for these native populations. The provincial government has instituted hair analysis programs to monitor exposure. Methylmercury is also found in saltwater fish, again posing a dilemma to public health officials. The health benefits of even modest fish consumption are well known, particularly in the prevention of cardiovascular disease, so there is a delicate balance between achieving those benefits and the risk of too much mercury exposure. The Native American populations of Quebec consume fish primarily during the summer months, and the mercury content of their hair reflects peak concentrations during the summer and lower concentrations during the winter. In contrast, populations that depend on ocean fish as their main source of protein tend to have relatively stable elevated levels of mercury in their hair. Fortunately, limited studies in both types of consumers suggest that they are not exhibiting even the most subtle signs of poisoning. Studies of wildlife have come to different conclusions, however. In Maine and New Hampshire there is evidence that loons have experienced reproductive and immune problems due to cumulative poisoning from eating mercury-contaminated fish. A Mass Poisoning In 1971-72, a major epidemic occurred in Iraq in which 6,530 persons were hospitalized and almost 500 died. In a well-intentioned humane response to famine, several nations shipped wheat grain intended for planting to Iraq. The seeds had been treated with a methylmercury-containing fungicide to hold down mold growth and preserve the viability of the seeds. The seeds were also dyed red to serve as a warning, and attempts were made to inform the natives of the hazards of eating the seeds directly. Unfortunately, the warnings on the bags were in Spanish, because some of the grain had originated in Mexico, and the skull and crossbones, recognized by westerners as meaning poison, meant nothing to the Iraqis. In the face of starvation many families milled the seeds directly into flour, and made and consumed the contaminated bread. There would have been no danger in eating grain grown from the treated seeds, because the subsequent crop would contain little or no methylmercury. The population of the United States has been fortunate in avoiding mass poisonings in the past, but there was one isolated series of cases in 1970 involving a single family in Almagordo, New Mexico. The father worked in a seed store, which supplied local farmers, and he maintained a few pigs at home. He noticed a significant amount of wastage in the form of spilled seed grain at the store, and he began sweeping it up to feed to his pigs. Within a short time his pigs became obviously ill. Fearful of the loss of his investment, the father had them butchered, and he froze the meat for the use of his family. Three of them were eventually poisoned severely. Twenty-two years after this incident all surviving members of the family were carefully examined and tested. In this interim the two youngest children had died, and autopsy and toxicological findings were available from one of these. Both were left in a vegetative state until their deaths. Some recovery did occur in the older children, but the visual defects, including blindness in one and constricted visual fields in the other, did not improve. Neither parent showed signs of poisoning, although both were exposed. Toxicological studies suggested that methylmercury, which readily crosses the blood-brain-barrier, is converted to inorganic mercury in the brain. Since inorganic mercury does not readily cross biological membranes, it is effectively trapped in the brain, but it is not clear which of the two species is responsible for the brain pathology. The use of methylmercury as a fungicide has been suspended in the United States, and since this was the only commercial use for the chemical, it is no longer manufactured in this country. It is, however, still found in the environment as a result of bacterial methylation of inorganic mercury. The Ubiquitous Thermometer Throughout the 20th-century, mercury has been useful in a number of everyday items alkaline batteries, fluorescent light bulbs, electrical switches, scientific and medical devices and the ubiquitous thermometer. Thermometers contain the less toxic elemental form of mercury and have almost never been a safety issue in peoples' homes. However, in the 1970s and '80s, workers at the Staco thermometer plant in Poultney, Vermont, began to notice a common series of health problemsheadaches, bleeding or sore gums, upset digestive systems, and coordination problems. Upon investigation, mercury was detected in the air of workers' homes, on their clothing and furniture, and most tragically, in the bodies of many workers and their children. This was the first time in which the children of mercury-handling workers were proven to have been affected. The plant closed in 1984. Several plant workers have since settled lawsuits with the company for undisclosed sums. Another lawsuit brought against the company by the town of Poultney and the state of Vermont was settled in September of 1991. Staco paid $289,000 to the town of Poultney for costs related to the clean-up of the town's water treatment plant. As part of a goal to eliminate mercury from medical equipment, some communities have sponsored thermometer exchanges. For example, at a one-day event in 1999, the Dartmouth-Hitchcock Medical Center in Hanover, New Hampshire exchanged approximately 800 mercury thermometers brought in by staff for digital, non-mercury thermometers. Mercury Tragedy at Dartmouth Karen Wetterhahn, Ph.D. Mercury caused a tragic incident in Hanover, New Hampshire, in 1997. The story of Dartmouth College Chemistry professor Karen E. Wetterhahn made national headlines when mercury poisoning claimed her life at the age of 48. Wetterhahn, a specialist in toxic metals, was poisoned in her lab by a few drops of the rare, extremely toxic compound dimethylmercury which accidentally penetrated her protective glove. Dimethylmercury, a colorless liquid, is a synthetic compound used almost exclusively as a reference standard in a particular type of specialized chemical analysis. Ironically, Wetterhahn was investigating the toxic properties of another metal, cadmium, and was merely using the dimethylmercury as a reference for her instrumentation when she was poisoned. While the accidental spill occurred in August of 1996, symptoms of her mercury poisoning were not detected until six months later, at which time the illness was irreversible. Wetterhahn became suddenly ill in January of 1997 and was hospitalized. She rapidly went into a coma and died that June. As a result of her tragedy, safety standards for gloves and other protective equipment were revised, and a movement began to eliminate production and use of this most deadly form of mercury.

Although his clothes are often difficult to understand when on the hanger—with collars that seem to be bows or halter necks that actually fit over the shoulders—they are frequently ahead of the current fashion trends and eventually filter down the clothing chain to the High Street, as well as being picked up by other designers. A favorite among fashion aficionados, Galliano was spotted as soon as his first student collection was completed and has continued to develop since, despite repeated problems with backers who have hampered his career. As part of a new breed of avant-garde British designers, Galliano led the way in the mid-1980s with his historically influenced designs. This fascination for period detail and adaptation of traditional styles into highly contemporary pieces has continued throughout his work. Studying surviving garments in museums to learn about construction methods and different ways to cut and drape fabric to create new shapes inspired his innovative 18th-century Incroyables collection for his degree showing. He suffused this knowledge with other diverse influences to produce collections always exciting and different. His John Galliano, designed for the house of Christian Dior's spring/summer 2001 haute couture collection. © AFP/CORBIS. great belief in the necessity to push fashion forward by learning from the past—coupled with his skill at balancing his designs with modern ideals—has earned him the reputation of a prodigy. Every outfit is thought out to the last detail, producing a series of completely accessorized looks as Galliano constantly strives for perfection. His love of bias cut gives added fluidity to the asymmetrical hemlines of many of his designs, with a taste of 18th-century dandyism thrown in, always with a surprise twist—often in his use of fabric, another area where Galliano loves to experiment and challenge. In one collection, he presented Napoleon-style jackets in bright neoprene, in another, devoré velvet bias-cut dresses clinging to the body, giving the element of sexiness that pervades his work. His love of shock gave us the camped-up glamour of his "underwear as outerwear," with satin knickers worn with feathered bras and leather caps, tapping the trend for drag in the London clubs. With Galliano's Girl and, perhaps to an even greater extent, the largely denim and Lycra-based line Galliano Genes, the designer demonstrated his ability to redefine existing subcultures to develop clothes for the younger, funkier sisters of his mainline buyers. Produced at a cheaper cost by using less exclusive fabrics, these designs are nonetheless inventive. Three-way jackets can be worn with attached waistcoats outside or inside, and there are other basic items more commercially viable, confronting occasional claims from his critics that his work is too avant-garde and less popular than other European names. The sheer breadth of vision in Galliano's designs, which frequently rethink form and shape, and the great inventiveness of his cut have surely ensured his reputation as one of the best of British designers. The research he does before forming a collection—bringing together influences and details from the French Revolution to Afghan bankers to Paul Poiret—and his experimentation with fabrics demonstrate his dedication to pushing fashion and dress forward, yielding excitement and surprise in every collection. Galliano stunned the fashion world in 1995 when he was named designer for Givenchy and became the first British designer appointed to lead an established French fashion house. In addition to designing for both haute couture and ready-to-wear at Givenchy, Galliano continued to show designs under his own label. By October 1996, the LVMH group moved Galliano to its crown jewel and appointed Galliano designer for haute couture and ready-to-wear collections at Christian Dior. Critics questioned whether Galliano's maverick reputation would appeal to Dior's established clientéle, but the designer arrived with the energy to shake up the haute couture world, which was showing signs of losing the interest, and sales, of its customers. In his spring/summer 1997 collection, Galliano took classic Dior themes and spun them together with exotic African Masai tribal forms to create silk evening dresses accented with colorful beaded choker necklaces. The collection presented a younger image yet remained glamorous and refined, definitely worthy of the Dior name. Galliano's collections have never failed to enchant, or shock, audiences. Each has expressed a theme complete with historic personalities and forces that have inspired Galliano's creations for the season. Edwardian elegance, the surrealist movement, the Soviet or Red Guard, the movie The Matrix, or classic English sportsmen have all been at play in Galliano collections. His push for a more contemporary, sexier image has proven at times to be a difficult and frightening change at Dior. In addition to his extravagant romanticism and love of the bias-cut gown, Galliano still retained much of his British bad boy flair. He drew public ire when the homeless theme in his spring 2000 collection included models in newspapers carrying empty liquor bottles and, in the following year's spring collection, when runway models were accompanied by blared vulgar lyrics offering women for sale. Even his critics acknowledge Galliano has brought excitement and fun to haute couture, and customer interest may be his best vindication—by 2001 Dior sales had doubled since the arrival of Galliano four years earlier. The ever-inventive Galliano will continue to hold the fashion world's attention and certainly keep it guessing for years to come. —RebeccaArnold;	John Galliano
What is the name of Vivienne Westwood's clothes shop at 430 King's Road where she sells her Anglomania label?	John Galliano \| Fashion Wiki \| Fandom powered by Wikia Edit Born in Gibraltar to a Gibraltarian father and a Spanish mother, Galliano moved to London as a child and attended Wilson's School in Wallington . In 1984, he graduated in fashion design from St. Martin's School of Arts with a collection inspired by the French Revolution . The collection, titled Les Incroyables, received positive reviews and was bought in its entirety by and sold in the London fashion boutique "Browns". Galliano then started his own label under his name and began his career as a fashion designer. He was awarded British Designer of the Year in 1987, 1994 and 1995. In 1997, he shared the award with Alexander McQueen , his successor at Givenchy . Fashion guru Susannah Constantine has worked for Galliano in the past. [1] and he has also aided the future success of other designers including the renowned shoe designer Patrick Cox . Career Edit In the 1990s, Galliano relocated to Paris in search of financial backing and a strong client base. In 1995, he was appointed as the designer of Givenchy by Bernard Arnault owner of luxury goods congolmerate LVMH , thus becoming the first British designer to head a French haute couture house. Less than two years later, on October 14, 1996, LVMH moved Galliano to Christian Dior . His first couture show for Dior coincided with the label's 50th anniversary, on January 20, 1997. He has been quoted as identifying his love of theatre and femininity as central to his creations – "my role is to seduce" he has said. Galliano has reputedly cited Charlize Theron as a muse and has been creating couture dresses for her to wear to red carpet events such as the 2006 Academy Awards and the 2005 Golden Globes . She is also part of the ad campaign for Dior's "J'Adore" perfume, while Riley Keough , granddaughter of Elvis Presley , fronts his "Miss Dior Cherie" perfume, and Kate Moss , in photographs by Nick Knight , his ready-to-wear campaigns. Cate Blanchett and Nicole Kidman have also worn dresses created by him to the Academy Awards in the past. Currently, between his own label and Dior, Galliano produces six couture and ready-to-wear collections a year and a new mid-season range under his own name "G Galliano". Personal life Edit Galliano says he follows a rigorous exercise regime which sees him rise at 6am each morning to complete a gruelling, 40-minute aerobic session with his personal trainer, before embarking on a 10-minute stretch, doing 150 push-ups and a six-mile jog along the banks of the Seine River .[ citation needed ] "Working flat out, it was a necessary step to take," he once said. "It helps to concentrate the mind and I find that I have so much more energy and focus." [ citation needed ]In 2000, he said that he also had found his inspiration for the couture collection of boho -meets-hobo chic he unveiled that January during his jogging sessions, when running past the homeless people lining the river. He added that he hoped to expose the pure decadence of couture by "turning it inside out". Similarities between Galliano and the fictional amoral fashion designer Mugatu , with his "Derelicte" homeless fashion show, from the movie Zoolander have been pointed out by some comentators.

In which TV series might Lieutenant Green say Spectrum is green?	Cast of Characters: Symphony Angel CAST OF CHARACTERS CAPTAIN SCARLET and the MYSTERONS UNOFFICIAL WEBSITE by Chris Bishop UPDATES: April 12, 2015: Minor modifications "I don't think I have a head for heights." Undercover Symphony (voice by Janna Hill) to a Mysteronised model who had asked her if she would have liked to be a pilot in "Model Spy". (Sources: TV Century 21 material (Annuals, books and magazines), Engale Marketing's Century 21 magazine, Issue 15, Winter 1995, Fleetway Magazines, Captain Scarlet & the Mysterons book by Chris Drake & Graham Bassett, Complete Book of Captain Scarlet by Chris Bentleyï¿½ all related to TV Century 21 material - Photo-montages provided by dedicated fans.) Angel aircraft fighter pilot, sometimes helicopter pilot. Real name : Symphony Angel's voice was provided by Janna Hill. History: Born January 6, 2042, in Cedar Rapids Iowa, Karen Wainwright displayed such amazing gifted talents at her unnamed high school in Boston, Massachusetts, where she often was top of the class, that consequently, still a teenager, she was sent at 16 to Yale University in New Haven, Connecticut. There, she showed herself better than other students much older than she was, gaining seven degrees in the study and employment of mathematics and technology. So amazing were her academic abilities that Karen was nominated ï¿½student of the yearï¿½ by the combined university committee. Her abilities attracted the attention of the Universal Secret Service and soon after she graduated from Yale, Karen was contacted and offered employment by them. An adventurous young person eager for excitement, the USS offer greatly appealed to Karen and she readily accepted it. She followed the USS comprehensive training course and such was her adaptability and swift and intelligent thinking that she passed it in only two years, while the norm was at least five years. By early 2062, Karen was a fully fledged USS field agent, dealing solely with industrial espionage, and she became a great credit to the organisation. During her career, she handled many tricky assignments, and in five years had become the USSï¿½s number one secret agent. This allowed her to develop techniques that helped revamp the way the USS was dealing with espionage, and these methods became a model to be used by other espionage and security agencies. While training as an aircraft pilot for a special USS mission, Karen literally fell in love with flying, and it wasnï¿½t long before she came to realise that the one ambition in her life was to become an aircraft pilot. She left the service in early 2067, and joined up with an unnamed charter company, dealing with worldwide passenger transport. Karenï¿½s flying skills were so good that she soon gained worldwide recognition, and even became headline news. Her many talents and her potential were recognised by the Spectrum selection committee, and, she was offered the chance to become one of their ace pilots (some sources say at late as late 2067). Karen passed the entrance exam with ease and was enlisted by Spectrum to become Symphony Angel. Personality profile: On duty, Symphony is proficient and skilful, and totally dedicated to her role as Spectrum pilot. Intuitive, capable, and brave to the point of recklessness, her impetuosity, however, can get the better of her, and she sometimes finds herself in tricky situations (ï¿½Manhuntï¿½, ï¿½The Trapï¿½). Off duty, Symphony is quick-witted, and sympathetic to her fellow Angels and Spectrum officers. Her great hobby is hairdressing, and sheï¿½s often asked by the other Angels to create a fabulous new hairstyle for special occasions. Symphony seems to have romantic interest in Captain Blue, and the series suggests that these feelings are reciprocated by Blue. Captain Blue and Symphony Angel The romantic relationship between Symphony Angel and Captain Blue is regarded as the only official one from the Captain Scarlet & the Mysterons TV series. Although a semi-official relationship has been drawn between Captain Scarlet and Rhapsody Angel, it is not really hinted at in the TV series, and might have found its roots in various other sources, such as story books, John Theydonï¿½s novels and most notably, fan fiction. In the case of Symphony and Blue, the romantic interest between them is hinted at in a few episodes: ï¿½Manhuntï¿½, in which Blue shows his deep concern for Symphony when she has been abducted by Captain Black, to the point where he would be ready to disobey orders and rush to her rescue at the Culver Atomic Centre, and ï¿½Attack on Cloudbaseï¿½. As it is revealed that most of this episode is a fantasy created by the concussed Symphony, it cannot be absolutely stated that Blueï¿½s feelings, as portrayed in the episode, are a true representation of his real feelings, but it is clear that she does have deep feelings for him, and the final scenes on Cloudbase do suggest the affection is reciprocal. This relationship (or possible relationship) has been mentioned in, and was the inspiration for, many stories by various fan fiction writers, such as Marion Woods, Chris Bishop, Caroline Smith, Sage Harper, to name but a few. While the pair are depicted as lovers and even engaged in many of these stories, so far, only Marion Woods (ï¿½Valedictionï¿½ and ï¿½You belong to meï¿½), Chris Bishop (ï¿½Dark Horizonsï¿½) and Lezli Farrington (ï¿½Pride and Joyï¿½), have shown them as a married couple, and these stories are set in the future, and are not part of the ï¿½series present timelineï¿½. Symphonyï¿½s Familyï¿½ according to Fan Fiction Neither the TV series, nor any other official source lists any information regarding Symphony Angelï¿½s relatives. However, fan fiction writers have created relatives for her, for the sake of their stories. The most prominent amongst them is her widowed mother, Amanda Wainwright, created by Chris Bishop for her story ï¿½A Symphony in Blueï¿½, in which Colonel White begins to show some romantic interest in the woman ï¿½ a plotline that has been continued in the following years, not only by Chris Bishop, but also by other authors (Marion Woods, Lezli Farrington, Sage Harper), to whom the idea appealed. Amandaï¿½s maiden name of ï¿½Hoffmanï¿½ was not created by Chris, but is the creation of Marion Woods for her story ï¿½A Busmanï¿½s Holidayï¿½. Amanda is the owner of a Dude Ranch in her native Iowa. While Chris Bishop called Karenï¿½s father Harry Wainwright, and described him as a ï¿½John Wayne-likeï¿½ kind of modern cow-boy, who recently died somewhere during the events of the first episodes of the series (revealed in the fan fiction stories ï¿½The Questï¿½, and ï¿½A Symphony in Blueï¿½), Marion Woods uses the name Sam Wainwright instead, and made him a native of Boston, who fell in love with the young Amanda Hoffman when he moved to Iowa to work for an engineering company. According to Chris Bishop, in her short story ï¿½The Last Flightï¿½, Ted Wainwright was Harryï¿½s brother, and the owner of a small fleet of planes in Iowa, and the two men were largely responsible for Karenï¿½s love of flying ï¿½ she having learned to fly at an early age under her father and uncleï¿½s encouragement, and only learned to fly more complicated aircraft much later in his life, during the mission described in her official biography, which renewed her love of flying. Symphony is generally portrayed as an only child. In Marion Woodsï¿½ ï¿½Valedictionï¿½, Colonel White has become Symphonyï¿½s stepfather, but the same story reveals her to be childless, stating that Symphony was rendered infertile because of her exposure to radiation in the TV episode ï¿½Manhuntï¿½. However this is not a universally held view and in other stories , such as ï¿½Pride and Joyï¿½, by Lezli Farrington, Symphony is revealed to be an expectant mother, and in ï¿½Dark Horizonsï¿½, by Chris Bishop, she is the mother of two boys, named Paul and Charles. What is consistent is that in all these ï¿½future storiesï¿½, Karenï¿½s husband is Adam Svenson (Captain Blue).	Captain Scarlet

I have been trying to replace (lost due to house fire) all my original Sir Tom Jones music collection, and this one is hard to find. It is in excellent shape/condition just as seller described it! This CD arrived just days after ordering it, so way early. It was as stated, pristine condition! It was packaged very well, and seller has been excellent also. I have bought from this seller once before, and also the music CD (Tom Jones again) was perfect. I would highly recommend this seller, will continue to buy from seller and would rate a 10 if possible. By WILLIAM B. HARDY on October 15, 2015 Format: Audio CD\|Verified Purchase Item as described,happy with purchase By M11 on April 19, 2016 Format: Audio CD This should be reissued. It's one of Tom's better efforts, and in some ways, a precursor of the career he's put together the past twenty years or so. Instead of gospel and blues, there is an emphasis on country. I only acquired this album recently because I heard one of its songs in a dream. I woke up remembering a sad-sounding Tom Jones song playing in the dream like a soundtrack, and could only remember that it mentioned the word brothers. I looked online to see if there was a Tom Jones song with brothers, and found "Two Brothers" from this LP. I played a video of it online, and sure enough, it was the song that had played in my dream. The weird thing is, I don't ever remember hearing the song before hearing it in my dream. Perhaps I heard it once years before playing in a store or on an easy listening radio station and completely forgot it until it resurfaced via a dream. In any case, it's a rather haunting song that reminds me a bit of "Greensleeves" crossed with a Lee Hazlewood tune. I'm mostly glad it led me to this LP, which is entertaining overall. Besides "Two Brothers," there is the hit title track, with a pretty good cover of "Mohair Sam" and other country type tunes. By Maheen Wickramasinghe on October 24, 2015 Format: Audio CD I grew up with my parents playing this album, and now I have it on CD! I have every one of Sir Tom's albums on CD now and rare singles, even Tom singing in Italian! I am 31 years old. I am a huge country fanatic and TJ fanatic, and as everyone know, Green Green Grass Of Home was an international smash hit for Tom. It was originally recorded by Johnny Darrell, but Porter Wagoner had a big country hit with it. I have a Facebook group dedicated to Tom to celebrate his first ever autobiography. It's called, Sir Tom Jones, Over The Top And Back. Would love to have you and would be thrilled to hear from any TJ fan! I am blind in both eyes. My email is: [email protected] By Peter Durward Harris HALL OF FAME TOP 500 REVIEWER on June 13, 2011 Format: Audio CD Originally released about ten or twelve years earlier, this CD was re-packaged in 2011 as a set (Along came Jones, Atomic, Green green grass of home, Delilah) as X4 Tom Jones , with each CD in its own cardboard case but no liner notes or credits beyond the actual track listings. The music here is some way removed from the country music coming out of Nashville, then or at any other time, but the songs here are mostly covers of country songs. Three of them (the title track, Detroit city and Funny familiar forgotten feelings) became huge UK pop hits for Tom, and helped to increase awareness of country music in Britain. Tom also had a minor American hit with Sixteen tons Some of the other songs (Riders in the sky, He'll have to go, Ring of fire, Sixteen tons, Cool water) will be familiar to older country fans (and some pop fans and younger country fans too) via other versions. At least one song here is probably not of country origin, that being My mother's eyes (an American hit for George Jessel in 1929), but it fits in well here. The other songs include some that are obscure to say the least, but they add interest to the album. Fans of Charlie Rich may recognize Field of yellow daisies. It became a country hit for him in 1974, but I think he recorded it some years earlier. I think I've previously heard Two brothers (a country hit for Autry Inman in 1968), but I can't remember where. This is an excellent album that showed how, with a little adaptation, country music could appeal to a much wider audience back in the sixties. By Tom on May 29, 2003 Format: Audio CD The Green, Green Grass Of Home CD features songs included on the US album releases Green, Green Grass Of Home and Funny, Familair, Forgotten Feelings. Many of the songs included are remakes of classic country western genre songs, along with a few standards such as "My Mother's Eyes". Jones even covers the legendary Johnny Cash with a more rock oriented update of "ring Of Fire". Most of the songs tend to the romantic ballad side, although musical arrangements mostly stay true to a more country and less orchestral sound, which was uncommon for Jones in the late 60's. The highlight is the title track, an international smash hit single that gave Jones his second #1 hit in the UK and his first major hit single of consequence in the US after the teen following of "It's Not Unusual" and "What's New Pussycat" from two years earlier.

Greenland is an autonomous constituant country within which European kingdom?	The 10 Best Tom Jones Songs \| Smooth Radio The 10 Best Tom Jones Songs By Katy Ratican We take a look at 10 of Sir Tom Jones' very best songs. Let us know your favourite in the comment box! Tom Jones is one of the most celebrated British artists. He received a knighthood from Queen Elizabeth II for ‘services to music’ in 2006. He won the Grammy Award for Best New Artist in 1966 and has also won two Brit Awards - winning Best British Male, in 2000 and Outstanding Contribution to Music, in 2003. We take a look at 10 of Sir Tom Jones ' very best songs: 1. It's Not Unusual It’s Not Unusual was first recorded by a then-unknown Tom Jones , after having first been offered to Sandie Shaw. Jones recorded what was intended to be a demo for Shaw, but when she heard it she was so impressed with Jones' delivery that she declined the song and recommended that Jones release it himself. When we spoke to Jones about it, he said: “I did the demo on this song when it was being offered to Sandie Shaw. I was just starting out and, God bless her, she said: 'Whoever's singing this, it's his song... I'm indebted to Sandie for being so generous." It reached number one in the UK Singles Chart in 1965 and has since become one of Jones' signature songs. 2. What's New Pussycat Released in 1965, What’s New Pussycat was written by Burt Bacharach and Hal David for the movie of the same name. It has since been performed by The Four Seasons and Tony Bennett . 3. Green Green Grass Of Home Originally made popular by Porter Wagoner in 1965, it was recored by Tom Jones in 1966, when it became a worldwide number one hit. 4. Delilah Released in 1968, it reached number two in the UK and went on to become the sixth best selling single of that year . 5. I'll Never Fall In Love Again On first release in 1967, Tom Jones ' recording reached number two in the UK Singles Chart but was less successful in the United States where it peaked at number 49 on the Hot 100. 6. Love Me Tonight ‘Love Me Tonight’ was written by Daniele Pace, with music from Lorenzo Pilat. 7. Thunderball 'Thunderball' became the lead song for the 1965 Bond film of the same name. Jones apparently fainted in the recording booth after singing the song's final, high note, he said: "I closed my eyes and I held the note for so long when I opened my eyes the room was spinning." 8. Kiss In 1988, English group Art of Noise released a cover of Prince ’s ‘Kiss’, featuring Tom Jones on vocals. The song reached number five on the UK Singles Chart – higher than the original. Jones also recorded a version of the song for his 2003 Reloaded: Greatest Hits album. 9. Tower Of Song Originally a Leonard Cohen song, Jones recorded his haunting version for his 2012 album, Spirit In The Room. 10. Mama Told Me Not To Come Tom Jones ' cover version with Stereophonics reached hit number four on the U.K. Singles Chart in 2000. It featured on Jones’ 1999 album, Reload; the album that many chart as Jones musical resurgence.	i don't know

Which Shakespeare refers to jealousy as the green eyed monster?	Bond Street, Mayfair 09:00 - 18:00 OLD BOND STREET During the 18th century, the street began to become popular for the bourgeoisie living around Mayfair. Shop owners let out the upstairs for residential purposes, attracting lodgers such as Jonathan Swift, George Selwyn, William Pitt the Elder and Laurence Stern. In 1784, Georgiana Cavendish, Duchess of Devonshire, an active socialite, demanded that people boycotted Covent Garden as its residents had voted against Whig Member of Parliament Charles James Fox, causing him to lose his seat in parliament and dissolve the Fox–North Coalition. She insisted people should look for nearer shopping streets, and encouraged people to go to Bond Street. Consequently, the street became a retail area for people living in Mayfair. By the end of the century, an upper class social group known as the Bond Street Loungers had appeared, wearing expensive wigs and parading up and down the street in a pretentious manner. Lord Nelson stayed at temporary lodgings on New Bond Street between 1797–8, and again in 1811–13.Thomas Pitt, 2nd Baron Camelford lived on Bond Street but was unhappy about the presence of the Bond Street Loungers. Already notorious for a violent and abusive temper, on 7 October 1801, he refused invitations to join in celebrations of peace between Britain and France (which led to the Treaty of Amiens), resulting in an altercation with several Loungers at his doorstep. Camelford retreated upstairs and fired upon the crowd with a pistol. During the 19th century, Bond Street became less known for its social atmosphere and increased its reputation as a street for luxury shopping. The auctioneer Phillips was established in 1796 at No. 101 Bond Street, specialising in stringed instruments and sheet music. The jewellers Asprey originally opened in 1830 at Nos. 165–169 New Bond Street. The Jewish practice of Kabbalah has been associated with the street after former East End trader Sarah Levenson opened a shop on No. 50 New Bond Street in 1856 and immediately became profitable, albeit through exaggerated and questionable product claims. Levenson was twice taken to court and prosecuted for fraud, each resulting in a five-year prison sentence. She died mid-way through the second. Nevertheless, the practice regained popularity and a Kabbalah Centre remains on the street. The Royal Arcade links Old Bond Street with Albemarle Street. It was originally proposed in 1864 as a longer link between Old Bond Street and Regent Street, but was rejected due to the scale of proposed demolition and restricting access to existing properties. It was subsequently redesigned to its current layout, opening in 1879 and replacing the Clarendon Hotel, which had been demolished in 1870. The street has continued to hold its reputation for luxury shopping into the 21st century, and has on occasions been regarded as the best retail location in Europe. In 2011, Bloomberg Business reported that New Bond Street was the most expensive retail street in Europe after the Champs-Élysées in Paris. At one time, Bond Street was best known for top-end art dealers and antique shops that were clustered around the London office of Sotheby’s auction house – which has been at Nos. 34–35 Bond Street since 1917 – and the Fine Art Society, founded in 1876. The sculpture over the entrance to Sotheby’s is from Ancient Egypt and is believed to date from circa 1600BC. It is the oldest outdoor sculpture in London. The street features “Allies”, a statue of Winston Churchill and Franklin D. Roosevelt, who are portrayed sitting on a park bench in conversation, sculpted by Lawrence Holofcener. The statue, which is very popular with tourists, was unveiled in May 1995 by Princess Margaret and was erected by the Bond Street Association to commemorate 50 years since the end of World War II. In 2013, maquettes of the sculpture (which are replicas, since Holofcener did not make any as part of the original artwork or design) were sold at Bonhams. Bond Street has been mentioned in several works of literature, including Jane Austen’s novel Sense and Sensibility and Virginia Woolf’s 1925 novel Mrs Dalloway. The plot of the 1948 film Bond Street centres on items purchased from shops on the street. In Suzanna Clarke’s novel Jonathan Strange & Mr. Norrell, Bond Street is described as having “the most fashionable shops in all the kingdom”. Bond Street is also a square on the British Monopoly board, and is the most expensive of the green-coloured set that also includes Regent and Oxford Streets. The three streets are grouped together because of their shared history in shopping and retail.	i don't know
What was the title of Doctor And The Medics only number one hit single?	The One and Only: October 2007 The One and Only Celebrating the 1, 2 and no-hit wonders of years gone by, from a British point of view. Sunday, 14 October 2007 Artist: Doctor and the Medics Title: Spirit In The Sky Year: 1986 Chart peak: 1 You can't say that one hit wonders aren't a mixed bunch. At one end of the scale, you have the Serious Artists who try doggedly for years to break through, and are disppointed when it only happens once. And then at the other, you have those acts are only in it for laugh anyway, whose success takes even them completely by surprise and who don't really care if they never have another hit - acts like Doctor and the Medics, in fact. Truly, they are the anti-Eric Carmen. The Medics were initially formed in London (supposedly to win a £5 bet) by psychedelic club promoter and DJ Clive Jackson (vocals), Steve McGuire (guitar) and Gareth Thomas (bass) and released their debut single, "The Druids Are Here", in 1982. A clue to their not-entirely-serious outlook can be found in the title of the B side, "The Goats Are Trying To Kill Me". At the same time, Jackson was running a club called Alice In Wonderland, playing psychedelic rock. Having failed to be assassinated by the caprine mafia, the band re-emerged in 1985, with Richard Searle replacing original bassist Thomas, issuing a brace of well-received indie singles, "Happy But Twisted" and "Miracle Of The Age". Taking their cue from glam rock and psychedelia, the group had a distinctive visual style (helped not only by a lorry-load of make-up but also by Jackson's towering 6'5" frame) and a manic air which in 1986 came together with the perfect song to propel them into the wider public consciousness. That song was "Spirit In The Sky", a bonkers pseudo-Christian number originally written by maverick Jewish songsmith Norman Greenbaum, and a number one hit for him back in 1970. The idea for the Medics' cover came to Clive Jackson in a dream - John Lennon took him to see Marc Bolan playing in a pub, and what should the late T-Rex frontman be playing but... you've guessed it. Thus, The Medics' version gave the song a T-Rex-like arrangement with Tony Visconti-style strings. The result: "Spirit In The Sky" became the first song to be a number one hit for two different one hit wonders. The group issued two albums in the 1980s, 1986's "Laughing At The Pieces", which included the hit, and 1988's "I Keep Thinking It's Tuesday". Their 70s retro trip extended to covering Abba's "Waterloo" as a single, recorded with glam rock legend Roy Wood. For a bunch of psychedelia fanatics, Doctor and the Medics remained remarkably well-grounded. To their credit, the group never took success too seriously, just enjoying fame while it lasted. They went their separate ways in 1989 - Jackson to a snail farm in the Brecon Beacons (which went out of business when all the snails caught the gastropod equivalent of influenza and died!), McGuire became a dance music producer and latterly started a company hiring out vehicles to bands needing tour buses and lorries to carry all their gear around in, while Searle formed the no-hit-wonder band Corduroy. A new version of the group (with only Jackson remaining from the original line-up) emerged in 1996, releasing an album called "Instant Heaven" on their own Madman Records label, and soon afterwards Doctor and the Medics became a touring band again. Recent years have seen them pop up on various retro TV programmes, even competing in the musical reality show "Hit Me Baby One More Time". Posted by	Spirit in the Sky

In certain parts of the world, like Australia, dermatologists spend much of their time treating conditions resulting from exposure to the sun, such as malignant melanoma, squamous cell carcinoma, and basal cell carcinoma. In other regions, dermatologists are more likely to encounter cosmetic problems; moles, hair and nail disorders, occupational dermatitis, psoriasis, skin infections, eczema, acne, rosacea, and hand dermatitis. Rosacea is a common skin condition that can cause redness and swelling. Hand dermatitis results from contact with household chemical and affects most women with children. The cosmetic problems for which dermatologists can provide assistance include wrinkles, age spots and other signs of aging, hair loss, and scars. Some dermatologists perform minor cosmetic procedures such as face lifts, liposuction, and blepharoplasty, a surgical modification of the eyelid. Cosmetics, industrial compounds, and pesticides continually present new dermatological problems. The increased outdoor work and leisure time of people today have increased their exposure to the sun and other hazards that can cause skin problems. It takes years of training and experience to learn how to distinguish the subtle differences in skin problems. Different conditions often share similar symptoms. There is therefore a growing need for more doctors to understand dermatology. Family doctors might refer a patient to a dermatologist only after their treatment has failed, or if an unsuccessful treatment has caused complications. Because of this, it is often cost-effective to see a dermatologist in the first instance. Dermatologists are also better able to make an early diagnosis. Dermatology was once considered a "lightweight" specialty, but is now recognized as being critical to people's well-being. Most skin conditions can be treated with topical therapy such as lotions and creams. The surgical procedures dermatologists must learn include the injection of fillers and botulinum toxin (botox) to give a patient a more youthful appearance at the expense of facial mobility, cryotherapy and other procedures to remove common skin growths such as warts, excision, and skin and nail biopsies where the patient is awake and small amounts of tissue are removed to facilitate diagnosis.

Take the free career test How to Become a Dermatologist Skin conditions are often associated with internal conditions and other external factors. Therefore, dermatologists should be knowledgeable in fields such as genetics , oncology, mycology, immunology, histology, bacteriology and others. Dermatologists must train as a general doctor before undertaking postgraduate education in dermatology. They must work in an internship for a year and a residency program for at least three years. Training positions are generally based in university teaching hospitals with periods at a general hospital. The competition for residency programs is intense. In the United States, completing a residency program qualifies a person as a Fellow of the American Academy of Dermatology, and completing a long and arduous examination is required to become a Board Certified Dermatologist. Any physician who has completed medical school can claim to be a dermatologist, and this is often the case with the doctors in skin cancer clinics. If a patient wishes to see a skin expert whose training is of the highest level, they should look for one with further qualifications. Full training takes 13 years in the United States. What is the workplace of a Dermatologist like? Because of the increasing rate of skin-related diseases in recent years, dermatological therapies have been revolutionized by new drugs, laser treatment, photodynamic therapy, and ultraviolet light therapy. That notwithstanding, dermatologists are still in high demand and their work environment can be very busy. At the hospital, they offer general consultation and treat in-patients who have various skin-related diseases. Dermatologists can decide to work in private practice or public hospitals. They can also provide training for general medical practitioners, teach at a university or run clinical trials in a research lab. Dermatologists can decide to lead campaigns aimed at the community and even offer their services to spas and other beauty therapy institutions. As is true for most medical disciplines, there are several subspecialties within dermatology: Cosmetic dermatology This aspect of dermatology which focuses on the patient’s appearance is sometimes defined as the one which emphasizes ‘looking good.’ Cosmetic dermatologists are trained in the use of fillers, botox, and laser surgery. Their practice is generally limited to minimally invasive procedures such as facelifts, surgery to diminish scars, liposuction, and blepharoplasty (surgical repair or reconstruction of an eyelid). Dermatopathology A dermatopathologist is a pathologist or dermatologist who specializes in the science of the causes and effects of diseases of the skin. A dermatopathology fellowship includes six months of general pathology and six months of dermatopathology. Immunodermatology The focus of immunodermatology is the diagnosis and treatment of skin disorders distinguished by defective responses of the body’s immune system. In other words, the goal of an immunodermatologist is to understand how the body’s immune system works with the skin. Because the skin is the most exterior part of the body it is constantly assaulted by chemicals, micro-organisms, and other foreign materials. The Immunodermatology Laboratory is dedicated to understanding how the immune system in the skin protects us. Mohs surgery Developed in 1938 by general surgeon Frederic E. Mohs and also known as Mohs micrographic surgery, Mohs surgery is an extremely precise procedure which involves the progressive removal of layers of cancerous skin until only cancer-free tissue remains. Pediatric dermatology Dermatologists qualify for this specialization by completing dual residencies in pediatrics and dermatology or by completing a post-residency fellowship. This specialization focuses on the diagnosis and treatment of skin diseases affecting infants, children, and adolescents. In pediatric dermatology particular attention is paid to the specific physiological and developmental issues of the pediatric population. Among these issues are acne, birthmarks, warts, and genetic skin diseases. Teledermatology In the field of teledermatology, audio, visual, and data telecommunication technologies are used to exchange medical information. This allows non-dermatologists to obtain evaluations by off-site dermatologists. The subspecialty provides for the viewing of skin conditions over large distances and establishes second opinion networks for patients with chronic skin conditions. What are the challenges faced by a Dermatologist? Allaying patient anxiety and managing patient fears and expectations are critical aspects of practicing dermatological medicine. While physicians logically focus on long-term results, it is not uncommon for patients to be concerned about, even preoccupied, by the immediate post-treatment or postoperative appearance of a wound or reconstruction. Patients with severe acne, psoriasis, or melanoma can be particularly impacted by the social stigma that their conditions can cause. Such factors require that dermatologists remain sensitive to the emotional, non-physical concerns of their patients. Managing the expectations of cosmetic patients, in particular, is a familiar topic within the dermatologist community. Expectations of immediate or unrealistic results following facelifts, laser treatments, or botox injections must be addressed early in the physician/patient consultation. In some cases, dermatologists may suspect that psychological problems – such as an inability to emotionally deal with aging – are at the root of patient expectations. Under these circumstances it may be necessary to involve mental health services before conducting the physical procedure requested. With patient education and expectations managed properly, the dermatologist is far more likely to have satisfied patients. What kinds of opportunities exist for a Cosmetic Dermatologist? It is not uncommon for cosmetic dermatologists to complement their practice with either a medical spa or in-office sales of spa products. Medical spas generally offer facials, manicures, pedicures, and body wraps. The decision around the selling of spa products is often more delicate, considering the vast array of available products and the potential claims made by their marketers. To uphold their fiduciary duties toward their patients and to avoid any conflict of interest, it is generally recommended that physicians set up their clinics in such a way that separates the dermatology aspect of their practice from any onsite peripheral services and sales. What is the difference between a Dermatologist and a Plastic Surgeon? Dermatologists and plastic surgeons do, in fact, treat many of the same disorders. However, while both practitioners perform liposuction and cosmetic repairs on skin damaged by age, disease, or overexposure to the sun’s ultraviolet rays, the disciplines are different in their focus. Doctors of dermatology deal with non-life-threatening illnesses such as chronic acne and also with cancers, autoimmune disorders, and sexually transmitted diseases. They focus primarily on conditions of the skin, hair, nails, and mucous membranes. While they frequently perform surgeries, they treat many patients by means of drugs, medications, and other non-surgical therapies. Plastic surgeons offer optional cosmetic procedures including breast enlargement and liposuction, but they are more likely to perform significant restorative and reconstructive surgeries to treat burns, correct birth defects, or repair injuries to the face or extremities. Can a Dermatologist diagnose and treat skin cancer? Skin cancer is diagnosed by physical exam and removal of skin tissue for examination by a laboratory. A dermatologist can perform this procedure during an office visit. Treatment for skin cancer is determined by the patient’s age and health; the type and size of cancer; where on the body it is located; and whether the skin cancer has spread elsewhere in the body. Types of treatment include surgery, freezing, scraping, radiotherapy, and chemotherapy. Each individual patient will have a team of different types of doctors, depending on the specific case. Working with the dermatologist may be a surgical oncologist who performs surgery to treat cancer; a medical oncologist who treats cancer with medicines and targeted therapies such as chemotherapy or immunotherapy; and a radiation oncologist who treats cancer with radiation therapy. Consultations by a dermatologist which are considered medically necessary are generally covered by health plans. These include visits for non-cosmetic reasons such as: Advanced or severe acne	Skin

Are body parts that were not covered darker or more freckled than the skin you were born with? If so, you failed to cover your exposed skin and protect it adequately with sunscreen when out on both sunny and cloudy days. Eventually, depending on your susceptibility and the extent of unprotected sun exposure, you could wind up with skin cancer , the nation’s most common cancer by far. Even if you escape cancer, you will certainly speed the aging of your skin, and by midlife you might have a wrinkled, leathery surface that makes you look older than your years. But unless you’ve already had one of the common skin cancers or a melanoma , the United States Preventive Services Task Force does not recommend a yearly head-to-toe checkup for skin cancer by you or a doctor. In updated guidelines issued last February and printed in The Annals of Internal Medicine, the task force found insufficient evidence to justify periodic “screening for skin cancer by primary care clinicians or by patient self-examination.” You may wonder what the harm could be in such a checkup. Haven’t you been repeatedly told that early detection is the secret to preventing a cancer that can threaten your life or well-being? Advertisement Continue reading the main story Research supports such testing for cancers of the cervix or breast. But in assessing whether routine screening for any disease is justifiable, experts must weigh the evidence for both benefits and risks. And the task force, an arm of the government’s Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality , concluded that there was “a critical gap in the evidence” to assess the risks of routine skin cancer screening. The task force found no direct evidence that whole-body skin exams by primary care physicians or patients “improves patient outcomes” and that studies were lacking to determine the extent of harm that could come from such screening. The possible risks it listed were “misdiagnosis, overdiagnosis and the resultant harms from biopsies and overtreatment.” In other words, there is not enough information to say whether the benefits of routine skin cancer screening outweigh the potential risks associated with examining and treating lesions that turn out not to be cancer. When to See the Doctor This is not to say that if you notice something suspicious anywhere on your skin — like a mole that is changing, a rough spot on a sun-exposed part of your body, or a sore that bleeds or does not heal — you should ignore it, hoping it will disappear on its own. Most dermatologists recommend periodic skin checkups, especially to catch early, curable melanomas, and any such lesion should be brought to a doctor’s attention without delay. Photo Dr. Darius R. Mehregan, chairman of dermatology at Wayne State University School of Medicine in Michigan, agrees that for most adults an annual skin cancer checkup by a physician is not needed. Still, in an interview, Dr. Mehregan suggested that patients should do a monthly self-check for the “A, B, C, D and E” of skin cancer starting around age 50. This means looking for lesions with any of these characteristics: A for asymmetry, B for irregular border, C for multiple colors, D for a diameter greater than six millimeters (about a quarter-inch) and E for evolving (that is, growing or changing). Dr. Gary N. Fox, who practices dermatology in Defiance, Ohio, a farming area where skin cancers are rampant, also sees little to be gained from routinely screening people who do not have risk factors for skin cancer. But in an interview, Dr. Fox emphasized the importance of insisting on a biopsy if someone had a lesion that “causes sufficient patient or doctor concern, even if it has been there for 20 years.” Furthermore, Dr. Fox said, unless the doctor doing the biopsy is very experienced in pathology, the biopsied tissue should be examined by a dermatopathologist, who is specially trained to diagnose skin disease. If there is any doubt about the finding, he said, “another pathologist should look at it since it doesn’t hurt to ask for a second opinion.” Sometimes, he explained, a mole can be hard to distinguish from a melanoma.

Sign Up Privacy Policy Dr. Fox also cautioned doctors against freezing a lesion to see if it went away unless there was no doubt about its nature. For example, the common sun-induced lesion called actinic keratosis , in which cancer cells are confined to the top of the skin, can safely be frozen. But he adds that anyone who has had a number of actinic keratoses should be regularly re-examined, since more are likely to occur and they can develop into an invasive cancer. Advertisement Continue reading the main story Looking for Melanoma Of course, if you have already had one skin cancer — a basal-cell or squamous-cell carcinoma or, more serious, a melanoma — you should be regularly examined as well. For example, Dr. Fox said, a person who has had one basal-cell cancer has a 50 percent chance of developing a new one within three to five years. He suggested repeat exams at three to four months, at six to eight months, and again at a year during the first year, and annually thereafter. Since melanomas run in families, Dr. Fox added, anyone with a family history of the disease should start regular skin exams in their 20s. Likewise, Dr. Mehregan said, people who have many moles should get an early start on screening because it is difficult for patients to determine when a melanoma arises in a mole. Dr. Fox explained that the main goal was to catch and treat melanoma “in situ” — that is, still confined to the site of origin and not life-threatening. He emphasized that a full skin exam for melanoma should be head to toe: the scalp (with hair parted by a hair dryer on cool setting) and all body surfaces, including the underarms, buttocks, genitals, palms, soles and nails. However, he said, a check for the ordinary sun-related skin cancers — basal and squamous cell carcinomas — can be limited to sun-exposed body parts: the face, the trunk, the back, the arms, the legs and, in someone partly or completely bald, the scalp. The best way to avoid skin cancer, these experts said, is to be diligent about sun protection. Wear a tightly woven hat with a wide brim and routinely use a full-spectrum sunscreen with an SPF rating of 30 (above that, there is little additional benefit), even when sitting behind glass or under an umbrella. And apply it generously: Dr. Mehregan notes that the SPF rating is based on using a tablespoon of the product for one arm. Sun -protective clothing can help as well. Reapply sunscreen after sweating heavily or swimming, even if the product claims to be water-resistant.

On which Beatles album does the song Dr Robert appear?	"Dr. Robert" by The Beatles. The in-depth story behind the songs of the Beatles. Recording History. Songwriting History. Song Structure and Style. “DR. ROBERT” (John Lennon – Paul McCartney) So, when was the first time that you suspected from listening to their music that The Beatles were using drugs? Most first generation fans would probably point to songs from the year 1967, such as the lyric “I get high with a little help from my friends,” or the imagery used in “ Lucy In The Sky With Diamonds ,” not to mention the supposed message hidden in the initials of that song. The year 1968 gave us clues as well, such as the lyrics “I need a fix ‘cause I’m going down” from “ Happiness Is A Warm Gun ” and “the deeper you go, the higher you fly” from “ Everybody’s Got Something To Hide Except Me And My Monkey .” While there are probably many other examples that can be pointed to, the first obvious indication was on the 1966 “ Revolver ” album (or “ Yesterday…And Today ” album in the US). Only the naive would have thought that “Dr. Robert” was a song about John’s family ‘ear, nose and throat’ physician. But then again, young fans may have thought just that! Could listeners have thought that this doctor was a reference to a New York rehab of some sort, and not someone who was actually supplying illegal substances? John’s longtime friend Pete Shotton remembers, “When John first played me the acetate of ‘Dr. Robert,’ he seemed beside himself with glee over the prospect of millions of record buyers innocently singing along.” While the group had been drug users for awhile before this time, they had only hinted at this fact in their music up to this point. The lyrics “turns me on” was slyly included in the song “ She’s A Woman ,” and the description of a woman as being a “ Day Tripper ” were two notable examples, but they were included in such a way that not many would suspect anything. “ The Word ” was admittedly written under the influence of marijuana, as was a lot of the “ Rubber Soul ” album, but that was also veiled in disguise. It wasn’t until 1966 that they threw all caution to the wind and released a song that was blatantly about a drug pusher. The subject matter may have been clear, but the real curiosity here was with his identity. Who really was “Dr. Robert”? John Lennon being interviewed, 1966 Songwriting History “It’s all about a queer!” This was John Lennon’s response when asked about the song during an interview. Keep in mind, however, that when he was asked about the inspiration behind “ Eleanor Rigby ” his response was “two queers.” Also, when a reporter asked what they thought about a Time Magazine article that explained “ Day Tripper ” as being about a prostitute and “ Norwegian Wood ” as being about a lesbian, Paul’s response was “We were just trying to write songs about prostitutes and lesbians, you know.” Obviously they were joking at the expense of those who were trying to interpret their music. Therefore, we can easily rule out “Dr. Robert” being about a “queer.” Another curious quote from John about the song came in 1980. “It was about myself. I was the one that carried all the pills on tour and always have done. Well, in the early days. Later on the roadies did it, and we just kept them in our pockets loose, in case of trouble.” While this appears to be the final word on the matter, there seems to be more to the story. Referring to a New York doctor that they’d heard about, Paul explains: “We’d hear people say, ‘You can get anything off him, any pills you want.’ It was a big racket. The song was a joke about this fellow who cured everyone of everything with all these pills and tranquilizers. He just kept New York high.” Pete Shotton attempts to add more details to the story: “John paid sardonic tribute to an actual New York doctor. His real name was Charles Roberts, whose unorthodox prescriptions had made him a great favorite of Andy Warhol’s entourage and, indeed, of The Beatles themselves, whenever they passed through town.” As for The Beatles actually visiting this doctor, Paul himself puts this to rest, saying, “As far as I know, neither of us ever went to a doctor for those kind of things. But there was a fashion for it and there still is. Change your blood and have a vitamin shot and you’ll feel better.” Since The Beatles have been very candid about their drug use during those years, the above statement appears to have the ring of truth. One other detail that needs clarification is the name Charles Roberts. Probably because of Pete Shotton’s account, this physicians’ name had been well circulated in Beatles lore for a time. However, in Steve Turner’s book “A Hard Day’s Write,” it is explained that a New York doctor by this name “didn’t exist. It was an alias used by the biographer of Warhol actress Edie Sedgwick, Jean Stein, to conceal the identity of another ‘speed doctor.’” The speculation about the identity of “Dr. Robert” is convincingly cleared up in Paul McCartney’s book “Many Years From Now.” Co-author Barry Miles, reiterating Paul’s account, explains as follows: “In fact, the name was based on the New York Dr. Feelgood character Dr. Robert Freymann, whose discreet East 78th Street clinic was conveniently located for Jackie Kennedy and other wealthy Upper East Siders from Fifth Avenue and Park to stroll over for their vitamin B-12 shots, which also happened to contain a massive dose of amphetamine. Dr. Robert’s reputation spread and it was not long before visiting Americans told John and Paul about him.” German born Robert Freymann, sometimes known as Dr. Robert or “The Great White Father” (reportedly because of having a tuft of white hair), continued his practice in New York for many years administering legal amphetamines in larger than needed doses to mostly well-to-do clients. “I have a clientele that is remarkable, from every sphere of life,” he has stated. “I could tell you in ten minutes probably 100 famous names who come here.” He continued his practice until he was expelled from the New York State Medical Society in 1975 for malpractice. His book "What's So Bad About Feeling Good?" was published in 1983. He passed away in 1987. About the writing of the song, Paul recalls: “John and I thought it was a funny idea: the fantasy doctor who would fix you up by giving you drugs, it was a parody on that idea. It’s just a piss-take.” As early as 1967, Paul explained the meaning of the song: “That’s what ‘Doctor Robert’ is all about, just a pill doctor who sees you all right. It was a joke between ourselves, but they go in in-jokes and come out out-jokes, because everyone listens and puts their own thing on it, which is great. I mean, when I was young I never knew what ‘gilly gilly otsen feffer casta nell a bogen’ was all about, but I still enjoyed singing it.” As to who wrote what, John said in his 1972 interview with Hit Parader Magazine that it was mostly written by him, but then stated “I think Paul helped with the middle.” The sentiment expressed by Paul in his statements about the song seems to corroborate this point. With a remarkable four month rest period from nearly anything Beatles related, stretching from the completion of their last British tour on December 12th, 1965 to their first EMI recording session of the year on April 6th, 1966, the song “Dr. Robert” can easily be estimated to have been written during this time. It was undoubtedly another product of a writing session between the two composers at John’s Kenwood mansion. Recording History On April 16th, 1966, which was the eighth recording session for what became the “ Revolver ” album, The Beatles entered EMI Studio Two for an eight hour recording session (2:30 to 10:30 pm) to concentrate solely on their new song “Dr. Robert.” All of the instruments for the song were recorded on this day, the rhythm track consisting of John on electric guitar, George on electric guitar, Paul on bass and Ringo on drums. Seven takes of the song were recorded, take seven being deemed best and ready for overdubs. The song was 2:56 long on this take and ended with John saying something that sounds like “OK Herb.” The overdubs consisted of John on harmonium in the bridges, George on lead guitar and maracas throughout the entire song and, reportedly, Paul on piano, although this was apparently mixed out of the recording entirely. By 10:30 pm, they were done for the day; the only thing left to complete the song was the vocals. Two days later, on April 19th, 1966, they returned to EMI Studio Two at 2:30 pm to record the vocals and, thereby finish “Dr. Robert.” John apparently performed his lead vocals simultaneously with Paul’s harmony vocals with George chiming in on the “well, well, well” vocals in the bridges. The customary double-tracked vocals of the previous two years were now replaced by a new engineering advancement invented by EMI staff member Ken Townsend they dubbed “Artificial Double Tracking” (or ADT for short). By copying the recorded vocal track to a separate machine with a variable oscillator, which allowed you to alter the speed of the recording, and then recording it back to the original tape on top of the recorded vocal, they could create a double image of the sound with one of the images slightl y out of time with the first by maybe just a few milli-seconds. This created an effect that somewhat mimicked what double-tracking could do, although a discerning ear can still tell the difference. Since it saved time, this new process was used quite regularly by The Beatles from 1966 on, a good portion of “ Revolver ” including this technique. George Harrison once exclaimed that Ken Townsend should receive a medal for this invention! With this session lasting until midnight, it appears that this was an awful long time to be spent in the recording studio just to perform vocals for one song. One explanation for this is a recollection of the “ Revolver ” sessions by engineer Geoff Emerick in his book “Here, There And Everywhere.” He remembers, “Looking back, I think one of the reasons I was able to come up with so many innovative sounds on ‘ Revolver ’ was the sheer amount of time George Martin spent in the studio working out complex vocal harmonies with John, Paul and George Harrison. It was a long process, but the results were always spectacular. The four of them would gather around the piano for hours on end, practicing their parts endlessly.” Listening to the intricate winding harmonies in the bridges of “Dr. Robert” (“well, well, well, you’re feeling fine…”) indicates this may have been one of those sessions. It may have taken a long time to perfect, but the end result was “spectacular” indeed. Also to be noted is that three mono mixes of the song were performed at the end of this session by Martin, Emerick and 2nd engineer Phil McDonald, although none of these were ever released. The first mono mix of “Dr. Robert” that saw the light of day was performed on May 12th, 1966 in the control room of EMI Studio Three by Martin, Emerick and 2nd engineer Jerry Boys. This mono mix was made in response to a request from Capitol Records in America for three new Beatles songs to fill out their soon to be released “ Yesterday…And Today ” album. As with all of the released mixes of the song, it was edited down to 2:13, removing 43 seconds just before first bridge. This mix was unique for the US because the EMI staff created a new mono mix for its British release over five weeks later. Some unique features of this mix included the noticeable edit where the 43 seconds were removed, which can be heard just before the first “well, well, well” comes in. The guitars are more prominent here, putting the vocals a little more in the background as compared to later mixes. Also, they didn’t fade-out the song fast enough to hide when the recording was completed, thereby revealing the true end of the song. You can even hear John say “OK Herb” at the song’s conclusion. On May 20th, 1966, Martin, Emerick and McDonald entered the control room of EMI Studio One to create two stereo mixes of “Dr. Robert,” as well as the other two songs intended for Capitol’s “ Yesterday…And Today ” album (“ I’m Only Sleeping ” and “ And Your Bird Can Sing ”). Both of the “Dr. Robert” mixes edited out the 43 seconds, although the edits are much less noticeable. The first mix was given to Capitol Records for the US release, although they instead opted to create a “duophonic” fake stereo mix for the album instead of waiting for these stereo mixes to arrive, which could have been passed their deadline. Someone at Capitol (probably Bill Miller since he was credited on the album jacket as preparing the album for release) made sure John’s “OK Herb” was removed from the end of the song on the “duophonic” stereo master for the album. The true stereo mix of the song that they received was eventually incorporated onto some copies of the album, but not for at least a couple of years. The second stereo mix made on May 20th found its way onto the stereo copies of the British “ Revolver ” album. As with the first stereo mix made on this day, the fade-out is done more carefully to hide the true ending to the song. The mono mix of “Dr. Robert” that was used on the British “ Revolver ” album was not created until one of the final recording/mixing session for the album on June 21st, 1966. George Martin, Geoff Emerick and Phil McDonald entered the control room of EMI Studio Three to create multiple mono and stereo mixes from 10 am until 6:30 pm that day (with a 90 minute break at 1 pm) before resuming recording duties in EMI Studio Two to record one final song for the album, namely “ She Said She Said .” Much more finesse was used to make this mono mix, three attempts being made before they were satisfied. (They labeled these mixes 4 through 6 when in actuality they were 5 through 7, mix 6 being best, although it was really the 7th existing mono mix of the song.) After editing out the necessary 43 seconds, we hear that the vocals were given more prominence than in the earlier mono mix and the fade-out is created to properly hide the true end of the recording. Song Structure and Style The format used for “Dr. Robert” is one quite familiar to us in the Lennon/McCartney catalog thus far, consisting of a ‘verse/ verse/ bridge/ verse/ bridge/ verse’ structure (or aababa). One complexity contained herein, though, is the identification of the songs’ key. At first blush, you would think it to be A major since it’s the first chord heard in the song, not to mention that the first twelve measures of the song stay precisely on that chord. However, after the chords move around ever so slightly, the first verse concludes in B major. The bridge is also rooted in this chord so, arguably, B major appears to be the key of the song, although opinions may vary. The unpredictable nature that their songwriting had evolved into by this point, as well as beyond this point, is just another reason why The Beatles music has become so admirable and still maintains its credibility throughout all these years. No solo or instrumental section appears in this song, although it is quite likely that one was planned. The mysterious 43 seconds that were edited out of the final product may very well have been a solo of some sort that was intended to precede the first bridge. A simple four-measure introduction starts things on their way. The full instrumentation of the band begins directly on the downbeat with John and George playing different but complimentary picking rhythms on their electric guitars, John’s being the more prominent. The main riff is played loosely, the high note of the third beat of each measure being missed the fourth time around, something that habitually happens throughout the song. Ringo’s straightforward drum beat remains steady while Paul moves around nicely on the bass and George’s overdubbed maracas sweeten the arrangement. A symmetrical sixteen measure verse is deliberately muddied-up by John’s insistence of adding an announcement-like two-measure transition to the second half of the verse as the song finally changes chords to F# major. Therefore, all of the verses become eighteen measures long. John sings the first verse entirely by himself in a sleepy, hazy manner indicative of the subject matter. The characteristic guitar riff continues to be played within the changed chord on the ninth measure. The slurred rise in the melody line (on the words “new” and “you”) appears to be the latest trick in the Lennon arsenal, as is heard in “ Rain ” which was completed the day before “Dr. Robert” was begun. We finally see some chord movement in the seventeenth measure as we finally arrive at the home key of B major in the last two measures. The second verse is identical in structure but with a couple of additions to the arrangement. Paul comes in to harmonize throughout almost the entire verse, climaxing with his insistent pleas “he’s a man you must believe, helping anyone in need.” The eighteenth measure then adds George’s overdubbed guitar doodling for the first time. The momentum of the song is abruptly interrupted to introduce a whole new aspect. As if to humorously add a religiously acceptable air to the activities of this physician, choir-like harmonies from John, Paul and George cascade through our consciousness to assure us of the wonderful effects we’ll experience. “Well, well, well, you’re feeling fine,” they proclaim, then assuring us (with a clever play on words) “well, well, well he’ll make you.” While the drums drop out entirely for most of this ten-measure bridge, the instrumentation consists of John on harmonium (the only instrument that changes chords), Paul thumping a B note on the bass and George plucking a B note on the guitar. Then, to jar us out of our hallucinations, the singers site the good doctor’s name once again and we’re transported right back to the steady rhythm of the song. A third eighteen-measure verse is then heard which is structurally and instrumentally identical to the second with the exception of hearing two overdubbed guitar parts from George played mostly in the gaps between the lyric lines. These added elements bring a distinct fullness with four electric guitars wailing away at these times, each playing a different part. This results in the unstructured and incoherent becoming coherent. Also interesting here is how John and Paul shorten the subjects name to “Doc Robert” in the sixteenth measure. A reprise of the “heavenly” bridge ends with what seems like an even heavier mélange of guitar sounds that once again transcend into a verse. However, this verse is truncated to twelve measures with the only lyrics being the twice repeated first line of the first verse, “Ring my friend, I said you’d call Doctor Robert.” The second time the line is repeated, ending again with “Doc Robert,” the fade-out of the song begins. The rather unorthodox harmonies of the final repeat of the songs’ title bring a change of chords and a distinguishing guitar line from George, bringing this interesting song to an unusual conclusion. John takes command throughout with his characteristic vocal style and repeating guitar riff. George’s flurry of guitars, as well as his suitable harmonies and maraca playing, display his willingness to be more than just a passive session man when his input was welcomed. Paul’s harmonies take John’s melody line from dourness to an energetic level, while his bass work triumphs and stands out nicely in the mix. Ringo keeps strictly to the closed hi-hat throughout the song and, while not much innovation was displayed, not much was needed. The curious opening line, “Ring my friend, I said you’d call Doctor Robert,” has been the subject of some debate. This awkward sounding lyric could be interpreted as meaning that John is recommending someone to give his doctor “friend” a “ring,” as on the telephone. Some, though, would suggest that maybe John was here addressing his good “friend” Ringo, informing him of where he could get a good high. After all, Ringo himself had been known to say, “I get high with a little help from my friends.” :-) The rest of the lyrics are mostly straightforward, explaining that Dr. Robert has a “special cup” to make you feel “well, well, well” and to become “a new and better man.” He is definitely dedicated to his craft, “helping anyone in need” and tirelessly does “everything he can,” being there “anytime at all.” Apparently continuing the premise of the song being about a “fantasy doctor,” The Beatles describe him as having his practice in Britain instead of New York. They sing, “My friend works for the National Health,” meaning the National Health Service, the publicly funded health care system in the United Kingdom. Since British residents don’t have to pay for health care, John and Paul explain that you “don’t pay money just to see yourself with Doctor Robert.” For instance, the round lens glasses that John was seen wearing publicly later in 1966 and onward were standard National Health issues, provided at no cost for those needing glasses in Britain. American Releases About seven weeks before Britain got to hear the song, “Dr. Robert” appeared on the Capitol album “ Yesterday…And Today ,” which was released on June 20th, 1966. Recorded only ten months before the song it precedes on this album, namely the monumental classic “ Yesterday ,” the differences in style between the two tracks appear as if the former was produced many years later. Such was the quick progression The Beatles were moving in. " Yes terday...And Today " was then released on January 21st, 2014, as an individual compact disc, both the mono and stereo versions of the album being included on a single CD. Incidentally, this release featured both the "trunk" cover and the "butcher" cover. Sometime in 1967, Capitol released Beatles music on a brand new but short-lived format called "Playtapes." These tape cartidges did not have the capability to include entire albums, so two truncated four-song versions of " Yesterday...And Today " were released in this portable format, "Dr. Robert" being on one of these. These "Playtapes" are highly collectable today. As previously stated, Capitol was so anxious to release this album that they couldn’t wait to receive the stereo mix for its stereo pressings. Instead, they opted to create a “duophonic” fake stereo mix from the earlier received mono mix. This mix continued to be used on the majority of the pressings of the album all the way until 1988 when vinyl albums were discontinued. However, the later received stereo mix did appear on some copies, such as the Capitol Record Club pressings starting in 1968 and pressings coming from Winchester, Virginia starting in 1973. Also, all of the American tape versions of the album (cassette, 8-track, 4-track and reel-to-reel) contain the stereo mix of the song. As it is today, both the mono and stereo mixes of “Dr. Robert” as released on this American album are the rare ones, since the British mixes are included on the compact discs currently available. Speaking of compact discs, the complete British “ Revolver ” album got its first US release on April 30th, 1987, featuring the original British stereo mix of the song. This mix was also incorporated into the re-mastered edition of the CD released on September 9th, 2009. Also released on this date was the box set, “The Beatles In Mono,” obviously featuring the mono mix of “Dr. Robert” made for its original British release in 1966. Live Performances It’s unfortunate that, although the entire “ Revolver ” album was recorded prior to their final US tour, no songs were performed live from the album by the group. Conclusion “I don’t know whether poets think they have to experience things to write about them, but I can tell you our songs are nearly all imagination – 90% imagination. I don’t think Beethoven was in a really wicked mood all the time.” This quote from McCartney in 1966 could easily be applied to “Dr. Robert,” which was written that same year. They may have been well experienced with drugs by that time, but they’re going to an actual physician to be injected with drugs was not necessary, therefore the encouragement heard in the song to “ring my friend” in order to get them high was purely imagination on their part – imagining the scenario in New York that they had heard about. As Paul said in 1967, “’Doctor Robert’ is like a joke.” Song Summary Written by: John Lennon / Paul McCartney Song Written: January - April, 1966 Song Recorded: April 16 & 19, 1966 First US Release Date: June 20, 1966	Revolver

Which throwing event does not feature in the Decathlon ?	What are the Different Events in Track and Field? What are the Different Events in Track and Field? Originally Written By: Leo J Revised By: A. Joseph Last Modified Date: 12 December 2016 Copyright Protected: These 10 animal facts will amaze you Track and field is a sport that includes includes many events, most of which fall under one of the two categories: track or field. Track events are those in which the athletes compete by running. Field events are those in which the athletes jump, vault or throw an object. Some events, such as the decathlon and heptathlon, are composed of multiple other events. Common track and field events include dashes, relays, hurdles, the long jump and the high jump , among others. Track Events In most cases, track events are measured in meters, although some minor levels of track and field, such as competitions for children, might measure events in yards. The shorter track events are called dashes or sprints. Some of the common distances for dashes are 50, 55, 60, 100, 200 and 400 meters. On standard-size tracks, one lap is 400 meters. Races that are 800, 1,500, 1,600 or 3,200 meters long are often referred to as middle distance events. The most common distance events, or long-distance events, include the 5,000- and 10,000-meter runs. Some competitions might include races that are even longer. The marathon , which is 26.2 miles (42.2 km), is considered a track and field event in some competitions, such as the Olympics . Relays are events in which four teammates run, one at a time, passing a small baton from one runner to the next. The three most common distances for relays are totals of 400, 800 or 1,600 meters. These races are often identified by the number of runners and the distance they each run, rather than the total distance of the race. So, for example, the 800-meter relay might be called the 4x200 relay — typically pronounced as "four by 200 relay." Hurdle events also are held on tracks, and the athletes must leap over the evenly spaced hurdles as they run. Common distances include the 60-, 110-, 300- and 400-meter hurdles for boys or men and the 60-, 100-, 300- and 400-meter hurdles for girls or women. These races are sometimes identified by their distance and either "high hurdles," "intermediate hurdles" or "low hurdles." The shorter the race, the greater the height of the hurdles, in most cases. For example, the hurdles might be 42 inches (106.7 cm) high for a men's 110 hurdles race and 36 inches (91.4 cm) for a men's 400 hurdles competition. Field Events The field events include four in which the athletes throw objects: discus, shot put , hammer and javelin. The size of the objects — or implements — that are thrown can vary according to the age level and gender of the competitors. In the discus, the athlete throws a heavy disc using a spinning motion, and in the shot put, the athlete tosses a heavy sphere, usually by pushing it from his or her shoulder. The hammer is actually a heavy ball at the end of a wire with a handle at one end, and it also is thrown using a spinning motion. A javelin is a spear-like implement — youths often use javelins that have been modified to be safer — that is thrown over-handed. There also are four field events in which the athletes jump or vault as high or as far as possible: high jump, long jump, triple jump and pole vault. In the high jump and pole vault, the athlete takes a running start and leaps over a bar that is raised after each successful attempt, and he or she lands on a large pad. A pole vaulter uses a long, flexible pole to propel himself or herself over the bar. For the long jump and triple jump, the athlete takes a running start and leaps as far as possible into a landing pit of soft dirt, sand or sawdust. In the triple jump, as its name implies, the athlete takes three consecutive jumps — sometimes referred to as a hop, a skip and a jump — and the distance is measured from the first jumping line to where the athlete landed after his or her final jump. Combined Events There also are combined events, such as the decathlon and heptathlon, which combine multiple events into one by using a points system to give the competitors overall scores. The decathlon usually is spread over two days and includes 10 events — four track events and six field events. The four track events are the 100 dash, 400 dash, 1,500 run and 110 hurdles. Field events in the decathlon are the long jump, high jump, shot put, discus, pole vault and javelin. The decathlon usually is for boys or men. Girls and women typically compete in the heptathlon, which includes these seven events: the 200 dash, 800 run, 100 hurdles, high jump, long jump, shot put and javelin. Some track and field competitions, especially those for youths, might use non-standard combinations of events for the decathlon or heptathlon. Other competitions might include combined events that are made up of different numbers of events, such as a pentathlon , which has five events. Unusual Events Along with the marathon, which is not a part of most track and field competitions, there are other events that are rarely included. In the steeplechase, which usually is 3,000 meters for men and 2,000 meters for women, the competitors must pass over large hurdle-like obstacles and jump through a shallow water pit while running around the track. Race walks are events in which the competitors go great distances, such as 20 or 50 kilometers, as quickly as possible but cannot run — one or both feet must be in contact with the ground at all times. Some competitions might also include wheelchair races for people who use them. There also are many events that were once standard in track and field competitions but have been discontinued in most cases. Among these are the standing broad jump ; the standing high jump; team runs in which four teammates run as a group; two-handed throws of the shot put, discus and javelin; and even the tug-of-war. Some competitions might feature one or more of these events, perhaps as novelty events. Ad	Hammer

Which county did WG grace play cricket for ?	W.G. Grace \| England Cricket \| Cricket Players and Officials \| ESPN Cricinfo 1865 - 1908 Profile It is more than 150 years since WG Grace was born, but there are other ways of measuring how distant he is in time. For one thing, no one still alive, not even Jim Swanton, can remember seeing him play (although in Sort Of A Cricket Person, EWS notes that "I am supposed to have watched [him] from my perambulator on the Forest Hill ground round 1910"). Eight decades have passed since Grace died, yet he dogs us still, demanding our attention at regular intervals. The statistics of his career are alone enough to explain why - more than 54,000 first-class runs (there are at least two different versions of the precise figure, so let's leave it at that) spread across 44 seasons, including 839 in just eight days of 1876, when he hit a couple of triple-centuries, and only one other batsman managed to top a thousand runs in the entire season; a thousand in May in 1895, when he was nearly 47; and 2800-odd wickets costing less than 18 runs apiece. I suppose we might wonder why his bowling average wasn't even more impressive, given the ropey pitches on which Dr Grace played. No modern cricketer would deign to turn out on them, which makes his batting all the more wondrous, and comparisons with Bradman or anyone since quite pointless. But there was not that much to Grace apart from these skills and his devotion to his family. A hand of whist appears to have marked the limit of his capacity for cerebration, and if one wished to be rude to suburbia one might identify Grace as suburban man incarnate, fluctuating mentally as well as physically between the fringes of Bristol and the London Counties, ultimately coming to rest in Eltham. His one inherited asset was that he came from a clan which was dotty about a great game and dutiful (but in some cases no more) about the general practice of medicine, with no doubt in its collective mind which came first at all times and in all places. His brother EM Grace, who was a coroner, once had a corpse put on ice until he could attend to it at close of play, and WG himself must have had one of the most prolonged medical trainings in history because he so frequently interrupted it in order to exercise his major talent at the crease. He began to study as a bachelor of 19, and was a father of three in his thirties before taking his final qualification at Westminster Hospital. His most conspicuous act as a doctor is thought to have occurred when an unfortunate fieldsman impaled himself on the boundary fence at Old Trafford. It was simply because the cricketing Grace totally dominated his own era that an exasperated CLR James could not understand why standard history books of the period never mentioned him. This man, for heaven's sake, opened for England at the age of 50 - and at the age of 18 he had scored 224 not out for England against Surrey, in a match which he left halfway through in order to win a quarter-mile hurdles championship at the Crystal Palace! No wonder he was the best-known Englishman apart from Mr Gladstone, so much so that Evelyn Waugh's friend, Monsignor Ronnie Knox, waggishly suggested that Gladstone and Grace were really one and the same celebrity. Athletic is not a word that obviously comes to mind when contemplating Grace in his prime, though a slim young man did precede the pot-bellied genius, who in middle age was far too heavy for any horse to bear. I have often wondered how stylishly he played his strokes ever since I saw some film in which he appeared to be brandishing his bat as though he was about to poke the fire with it. Something tells me that he never hit the ball as gracefully as Victor Trumper did in the famous photo of his straight drive; Grace, I suspect, was much more about power than aesthetics. That, at any rate, would fit what we know of his character in general. Apart from tenderness to his relatives and a generous soft spot for children, he was not, I think, a particularly attractive man, though he could sometimes (and it is usually recorded as remarkable) encourage a young player on his own side with - as the saying went in his day - bluff good humour. After the Australians had experienced him for the first time, a commentator Down Under observed that, "For so big a man, he is surprisingly tenacious on very small points." He was notorious for employing, in order to pursue victory or personal achievement, a variety of wiles and tricks that may be thought of as, well, hardly cricket. He was also, throughout his career, quite breathtakingly grasping when his eye caught the glint of hard cash. It was the social historian Eric Midwinter who, some years ago, pointed out that on Grace's first tour of Australia in 1873-74 (when he was a medical student simultaneously enjoying his honeymoon) he extracted a fee of £1500 from the organisers, which would be well over £100,000 at present values. On his second tour in 1891-92, one-fifth of the entire cost of transporting 13 English cricketers across the world, supporting them in Australia and paying them for what they did there, went into Grace's pocket. He regularly collected testimonials - one, worth £1458, was organised by MCC so that he might buy a medical practice - and overall probably took something like £1 million in today's currency out of the game; and, remember, there was no sponsorship nor endorsements in those days to inflate a star's income. This was in a period when the prosperous middle classes were earning no more than £1000 a year, a highly skilled artisan £200, and a labourer half as much if he was lucky. A good professional county cricketer in the second half of the 19th century saw his wages rise from £100 to £250. No wonder it cost twice as much to get into some English grounds if Grace was playing than if he was not. The astonishing thing about the mercenary Grace, of course, is that he was classified and has ever since been glorified as an amateur. Nothing more exposed the humbug that used to smother the entire topic of Gents v Players than an examination of Grace's financial rewards from the game; and nothing more reveals the intellectual dishonesty at the heart of the humbug than something Grace once said when trying to argue the Gloucestershire committee into playing more amateurs than professionals. He declared his fear for the future of cricket if it became wholly professional. "Betting and all kindred evils will follow in its wake, and instead of the game being followed up for love, it will simply be a matter of £ s d." Prophetic words, perhaps; but it ill became WG Grace to mouth them. It will be gathered from the above that he has never been a hero of mine, not since the day in adolescence when I discovered that he was sometimes a shameless cheat in a game that, I was being asked to believe, was wholly honourable. I shall nevertheless drink to his memory on July 18 because his tremendous gifts, especially his phenomenal batting, were largely responsible for the elevation of cricket from just another 19th-century game, which had become popular partly because it lent itself to gambling. Grace's towering presence, more than any other single factor, transformed it into the unrivalled spectator sport of summer, first of all in England, subsequently in other lands spread widely across the world. I would even suggest that a true measurement of WG's unique stature is that he is instantly identifiable, even by some who are uninterested in his vocation, by his initials alone. I cannot think of another human being in any sphere, not even WC Fields, of whom this is also true. Geoffrey Moorhouse, Wisden Cricketers' Almanack 1988 Read More	Gloucester
Which golfer has won the most PGA tour titles ?	BBC - Gloucestershire - People - William Gilbert Grace (1848-1915) You are in: Gloucestershire > People > Profiles > William Gilbert Grace (1848-1915) William Gilbert Grace (1848-1915) Find out about a Gloucestershire legend who by some, has been titled with making cricket the first modern spectator sport. William Gilbert Grace (W.G. Grace) was a Doctor by profession but also one of the best amateur cricketers Gloucestershire has ever produced. With a record that is extraordinary, the Bristol born legend has still left his mark on the modern game today. With a career spanning almost forty years, Grace began first class cricket for Gloucestershire back in 1865. He was an athletic man, who when not out on the crease, was shooting, hunting and running with beagles. In 1866, he had so much stamina that two days after running 224 not out for England against Surrey, he won a race at the National and Olympian Association meeting at Crystal Palace, London. Legendary cricketer W.G. Grace Incredible batting ability Despite being a fantastic fieldsman with safe hands, quick feet and a good throw, Grace was best known for his incredible batting ability. Overall he scored 55,309 runs in first class cricket and test matches combined. Some say that he developed many of the techniques of modern batting. Grace reached his peak in the 1870’s when he was averaging between sixty and seventy runs a game. This might not seem like a lot in the modern game, but back then pitches were in poor shape, making scores a lot lower. As a bowler, he started out with a fast right arm but later developed a slower, more effective delivery. Never reaching 200 wickets taken in one season, his record was 191 in 1875, giving him a grand total of 2818 wickets taken in the 36 years he played. He also took all 10 wickets in 1886 when playing Oxford University; Oxford only managing 49 runs. "The Doctor" Nicknamed “The Doctor”, Grace did not finish medical school until he was in his thirties. Training in London, he finished and soon opened his own practice in Easton, one of the poorest parts of Bristol at that time. Playing his last test match at the age of 50, he became secretary and manager for the London County Cricket Club in Crystal Palace. He then later moved to Mottingham in south-east London, with his wife Agnes. He died in his home on 23rd October 1915 and a blue heritage plaque can be seen there in his remembrance. He is buried in London at Beckenham Crematorium. Article by Claire Carter last updated: 30/07/2008 at 12:26 created: 10/08/2006	i don't know
Which presenter was sacked in 1999 following media reports that he had taken cocaine?	BBC News \| Entertainment \| New presenter for Blue Peter Thursday, January 7, 1999 Published at 14:35 GMT Entertainment New presenter for Blue Peter Simon Thomas: Seems like a nice boy The BBC children's TV programme Blue Peter has picked a new presenter - he is taking over from Richard Bacon who was sacked from the show for taking drugs. Simon Thomas, the son of a vicar from Suffolk, landed the job after applying to the programme for the fourth time. "I was gob-smacked when I was told I'd got through all the hoops," he said. Richard Bacon: Sacked for taking cocaine Former presenter Richard Bacon lost his job three months ago after admitting to his bosses that he had taken cocaine at a party. As a result Blue Peter's producers took the unprecedented step of apologising on-air to viewers. Although new to Blue Peter and presenting, Simon Thomas has worked for some time behind the scenes at Sunday morning Children's BBC. He also has lots of experience working with children, spending every summer for the past eight years at a Christian centre in Norfolk running workshops for young people. He will be the 27th presenter in the history of the long running programme - and he joins the current team of Stuart Miles, Katy Hill and Konnie Huq. Blue Peter editor Oliver MacFarlane said: "Simon's showreel really stood out amongst hundreds of others - it just goes to show how perseverance can pay off." The new presenter has already been welcomed by the rest of the team and his first show will be on Friday. He said: "Action man Peter Duncan was my Blue Peter favourite when I was growing up - I'm really looking forward to following in his footsteps."	Richard Bacon
Who wrote and performed the signature tune from 1979 to 1989.	Blue Peter Presenters in the 90s - Katy Hill, Anthea Turner - Simply Eighties BLUE PETER IN THE 90S Whatever happened to the Blue Peter presenters from the 1990s? Yvette Fielding still hadn't reached 19 years old when she became a Blue Peter a presenter on 29th June 1987. She left the show on 29th June 1992, but still holds the record for being the youngest Blue Peter presenter. Fielding went on to feature in more adult shows, including the Sunday morning religious programme The Heaven And Earth Show and City Hospital, a live show broadcast from British hospitals. She is now best-known for presenting spooky TV programmes about ghosts, including Most Haunted and Ghosthunting With... Anthea Turner had a relatively short stint on the children's show between 14th Sept 1992 and 27th June 1994 and became the show's 20th presenter. After leaving Blue Peter she hosted the ITV breakfast TV show GMTV for 2 and a half years, and also hosted the new National Lottery draw show for the BBC. In 2000, her career went down the pan after her involvement in the infamous "flakegate" - she wouldn't have earned a Blue Peter badge for that! For her wedding, Turner and her future husband, Grant Bovey, signed a deal with OK! magazine for £300,000 to take exclusive photos of the ceremony. The controversy was with the photos, which, apparently, showed Turner and Bovey promoting the new Cadbury Snowflake bar, for which she was heavily criticised by the media. The British presenter has since tried to revive her career many times, including appearing in Celebrity Big Brother during 2001. In 2006, Turner took part in the rather patronising BBC3 show Anthea Turner: The Perfect Housewife, in which she taught both men and women how to look after and clean their own homes. She appeared in ITV1's cookery challenge show Hell's Kitchen in 2009, and since 2010 has been starring as an "expert" judge on a TV show on Food Network Canada entitled Dinner Party Wars. Diane-Louise Jordan presented Blue Peter for just over six years between 25th Jan 1990 and 26th Feb 1996. The trained actress became the programme's first black presenter. She has since presented the BBC's religious show Songs Of Praise and works with several charitable organisations. Tim Vincent has been very active since leaving the show. The welsh actor presented the show between 16th Dec 1993 and 24th Jan 1997, but went on to feature in the drama Dangerfield and also presented The Clothes Show. In 2000 he took on the role of Adam Forrester in the ITV soap, Emmerdale. Vincent lived and worked in the U.S. for several years during the 2000's, hosting several Miss World shows. In 2008 he appeared in ITV's celebrity skating competition Dancing On Ice, and presented radio shows for London-based station Capital FM and Magic FM during 2008. Since 2011 Tim has presented This Morning's interactive hub on Friday's. Stuart Miles presented Blue Peter for four years between 27th June 1994 and 21st June 1999. The openly-gay presenter had a very active role in the show. Since then he has been a guest presenter on This Morning, Holiday and the ITV2 show Soap Fever, which previewed and reviewed the soaps. During 2007 Miles became a presenter on the Sky Vegas gambling channel and became a presenter on Gaydar radio in 2008. He also has a drag act called Stella Ratner, although I have found very little information about this. Stuart currently is a co-presenter with Katy Hill on Heart Radio. Katy Hill was my all-time favourite presenter, not only because I fancied her, but also because she was just so bubbly and enthusiastic. She was on the show for 4 years between 23rd June 1995 and 19th June 2000. She was involved with countless assignments and had an enthusiasm that was hard to match. After leaving Blue Peter, Hill presented A Song For Europe in 2001 and 2002. She appeared on The Games on Channel 4 in 2004. After 2010 Katy worked as a relief co-presenter on ITV1's breakfast show Daybreak. Katy has also written blogs for the website ivillage.co.uk . She is currently working as a co-presenter (with Stuart Miles) on Heart Breakfast for Heart Radio. Do you remember Romana D'Annunzio? The Scottish presenter worked on the programme between 1996 and 1998. Sadly, I have found very little info about what she did after leaving the show, but I do know that she played the role of a female clubber in an episode of the Channel 4 drama Young Person's Guide to Becoming a Rock Star. Richard Bacon was a presenter between 1997 and 1998, but was infamously sacked from Blue Peter after 1 year and 240 days when reports appeared in the tabloids that he had once taken cocaine. However, he has never been short of work since leaving the show. He has worked on The Big Breakfast, several radio shows and numerous BBC3 programmes. He hosted Richard Bacon's Beer & Pizza Club on ITV4 during 2010 and 2011, and since 2010 has been an afternoon presenter on BBC Radio 5 Live. Katy Hill	i don't know

From the beginning, we have tied our destiny to an emerging neighborhood full of promise but fraught with risk. Indeed, we suffered through two disastrous market downturns and have reinvented ourselves several times. Through all of the ups and downs, this community has never failed to support us and we, in turn, have never lost faith in the future of Capitol Hill. Whether it was providing a loan when the Capitol Hill Day School wanted to buy a building or stepping up when the Capitol Hill Cluster School 10k original sponsor was unable to continue or providing the seed money and time and effort to start what would become the Capitol Hill Children’s Baseball League, we have always been there.

None of this includes the tens of thousands of dollars in sponsorships and donations made by our individual agents. We have provided scores of officers and directors for CHAMPS, the BID, Barracks Row, CHAW, the Foundation, the Restoration Society, The Village and many of our Hill schools. Our agents have givens thousands of volunteer hours to nearly every event and organization on the Hill over the past 3 decades. The Hill has been recently discovered by many. Not by us, for we have always known what we have had and have worked tirelessly to help make it what it has become today and what it will be tomorrow. 4 H hillrag.com Thanks from all of us for all of your support for us along the way.

For more than 30 years, Howard Avenue East and its adjacent streets have been a mecca for antique collectors worldwide. Many of the original merchants are still in business, continuing the tradition of honesty and integrity in the trade. Through the years, Antique Row has grown to include more than 80 shops. Their merchants specialize in everything from the finest antiques to the quirkiest collectibles. They offer art galleries, new crafts and gifts, design shops and salons and two eating establishments. Unlike an antique mall, you will have the pleasure of walking tree lined streets, resting on a Victorian park bench beside a planter of ﬂowers and discussing your purchases personally with the owners. kensingtonantiquerow.com third thursday: merchants in Kensington keep their doors open late on third thursdays, attracting visitors with sales specials, live music and food.

Yet little has been written about Douglass’ final years in Washington, DC. In “Frederick Douglass in Washington, DC: The Lion of Anacostia”, journalist John Muller explores how Douglass spent the last 18 years of his life professionally and personally in his home, Cedar Hill, in Anacostia. The ever-active Douglass was involved in local politics, from aiding in the early formation of Howard University to editing a groundbreaking newspaper to serving as marshal of the District.

B y the time you read this, the incident I describe would have happened weeks ago. By the time you read this another similar incident could occur. It was a Sunday and I was on a bus going up 16th Street. It wasn’t a crowded bus. There were a few Ethiopian women dressed in beautiful white garments returning from church. Two men got on and went to the back of the bus. I was reading A Poet’s Craft, a new book by Annie Finch, and was engrossed with where poems come from and how things turn into poems. Behind me I heard the voice of a black man; the angry black man rage that often reminds me of how middle class I’ve become. If you want to know why my head is often in a book pull out your cell phone and take a picture of what I’m going to write next. The black man was yelling at a gay white and latino couple. I soon discovered he was upset with their open acts of affection. He wanted them to move to the front of the bus. Yes, this incident did take place prior to the 50th Anniversary of the March on Washington. The black man was demanding his right to sit in the back of the bus – alone. by E. Ethelbert Miller Things started to become very confrontational. The white gay man marched to the front of the bus and reported the problem to the bus driver. The bus driver (black like me) stopped his vehicle, got up from his seat and went to the back of the bus. He told the black man he was going to have to leave the bus if the incident continued. Up front I saw an elderly white woman quickly get off the bus. It had become one of those days like back in the 1960s, when planes were being hijacked and redirected to Cuba. But I was on a 16th Street bus going suddenly nowhere on a Sunday morning. I was in the middle of the politics of now, a changing city, a changing world. The black man was offended by the new values, the openness and tenderness shown between men, the act of public intimacy one could only describe as love. Do you want to live in a society in which who you love is a crime? Who is protected by the law? Who is driving the bus? Where are we going? The black man got off the bus. He was yelling now at everyone. He was telling us that the love between the two male passengers was wrong. For a quick moment I was thinking like a new pope and wondering , who gives anyone the right to condemn the lifestyle or life of someone else? How sad to enter out into the world with one’s lover only to have the day slap you in the face with hatred and prejudice. How does one uphold beauty in the midst of so much ugliness? After the black man departed and the bus departed, the gay couple moved to the back of the bus. I was left feeling like Rosa Parks staring out a window. There are times when dignity is a torn garment we all wear. There is a silence that turns even the best of us into observers. Still, we survive because of small acts of courage and the refusal to have the world cave in on our heads. I see the world through eyes shaped by a glorious tradition and history. When I read about the anti-Gay laws being passed in places like Moscow, I know there will soon be blues singers in Russia. Somewhere people are falling off the bus. Here in D.C. one can still manage to travel to Silver Spring with hope. E. Ethelbert Miller is a literary activist. He is the author of several books of poetry and two memoirs. Mr. Miller is the director of the African American Resource Center at Howard University as well as the board chair for the Institute for Policy Studies.

T ommy Wells, darling of big business. Jack Evans, friend to organized labor. That might sound like an upside-down, Opposite Day description of the two D.C. legislators and mayoral contenders, but it’s also how they aligned themselves this summer when the D.C. Council debated and voted on a contentious Living Wage Bill that would have forced Walmart and certain other large retailers to pay employees $12.50 an hour. Wells, contra his usual image as a progressive standard-bearer, voted against the bill in July and again in September, when the Council tried to override a veto by Mayor Vince Gray. Evans, for his part, bucked his usual pro-big business persona and supported the bill during both votes. Their respective alignments are indications of some of the complicated strategizing going into next year’s mayoral primary, where Evans and Wells are already lined up against Muriel Bowser (D-Ward 4) and could face Gray, should he choose to run. Pay… The bill wasn’t new when it was introduced earlier this year—the idea of forcing large retailers to pay above the District’s minimum wage of $8.25 has been floating around for close to a decade. But with Walmart planning to bring six urban-format stores to D.C. over the next three years, the new version of the proposal attracted loud support from labor unions and progressive activists and intense opposition from business groups and the Arkansas-based retailer itself. Supporters of the bill argued that with a growing economic divide in D.C. and the rest of the country, Walmart could afford to pay employees a little more. In fact, they argued, the $12.50 living wage—roughly $26,000 a year for 40 H hillrag.com By Martin Austermuhle became law. The bill seemed tailor-made for Wells, who has made a career of being a progressive outlier on the Council. But he was quick to reject it—as did Bowser, and later Gray—saying that it would chase away jobs that pay, especially in areas that have no jobs to begin with: “I view this as a job killer. We are not rural America. We need our minimumwage jobs, our low-wage jobs,” he said, according to The Huffington Post. Evans, on the other hand, sounded an almost populist tone in favor of the bill when he told WTOP: “It has become very difficult, as you know, to live in the District of Columbia. We are prospering beyond what any other city in America is doing and, as a result, it is expensive to live here. So people who are working, particularly in the retail industry, are having a hard time.” …Politics Anti-Walmart poster attacks Councilmember Tommy Wells. Photo: Andrew Lightman a full-time worker—could help a family of three escape poverty. Opponents countered that while the bill may have been well-intentioned, it was also discriminatory, focusing only on retailers occupying more than 75,000 square feet of space in the city. Walmart would have to pay the higher wage, they pointed out, but not Apple or Nike. They also worried that other large retailers that had long eyed the District would start looking to the suburbs instead—“retail leakage,” as it’s called, amounts to $1 billion in lost revenue per year—and that Walmart would get cold feet and start backing out of some of the stores it had planned. It did just that, threatening to yank three stores if the bill So what caused Evans and Wells to play a game of switcheroo? For Evans, the matter may have been more political than it was for Wells. If he ever wants to be mayor, Evans knows that he needs to convince voters that he won’t side with big business every time big business comes calling. There was also a little vote-trading going on: in exchange for supporting the Walmart bill, Evans managed to get the votes he needed to pass a quarter-point decrease of the sales tax, which took effect on Oct. 1. For Wells, the political calculation was less naked—though the political consequences could be more severe. Like Bowser and Gray, Wells recognized that while Walmart might not offer great jobs, it at least offers jobs. That’s especially true in the parts of town where Walmart is setting up shop—wards 4, 5, and 7 among them—which is exactly where Wells will need to work hardest to get votes. In his quest to become the city’s first white mayor, Wells will want to peddle the progressive label as often as possible, but he won’t want to be weighed down by it—especially when progressives are often white and well-to-do. For Bowser and Gray, the calculus was much the same: the first Walmart is set to open on Georgia Avenue in Bowser’s ward, while one of the most important, the Walmart at the long-underdeveloped Skyland Town Center, is in Ward 7, Gray’s home turf. Wells is also a more nuanced candidate than many people give him credit for, and he could have seen the bill as inherently flawed. Though few people would disagree that Walmart should be able to pay its employees more than it often does, the bill would have created an obvious contradiction: certain large retailers would have to pay the “living wage,” while others wouldn’t. Among those that wouldn’t were supermarkets with existing collective bargaining agreements in place, some with salaries under what Walmart would have been forced to pay. This led Wells, along with Bowser and Gray, to ask an obvious question: if supporters of the bill agree that D.C. businesses and retailers should pay employees more, why not push for an across-the-board increase in the city’s minimum wage? Wells was quick to propose just that, introducing a bill that would push the minimum wage up by $2 over two years and increase the deductions that middle- and low-income families could claim. Gray has recently said he’d like to see the minimum wage increased, and Bowser at least wants a commission formed to study the issue. None of this was much consolation to the coalition that backed the Walmart bill. Ahead of the debate over whether or not to override Gray’s veto of the bill, Wells and Bowser’s faces appeared on posters around town proclaiming them as part of “D.C. poverty wage coalition.” Among those pushing Wells to change his stance was Elissa Silverman, a former At-Large candidate and policy analyst at the D.C. Fiscal Policy Institute, which also advocated in favor of the Walmart bill. After neither Wells nor Bowser budged on the vote to override Gray, supporters of the bill said they wouldn’t soon forget how the two mayoral aspirants voted. This, of course, sets up an interesting dynamic for the campaign ahead: Who exactly will unions and progressives side with in the mayoral contest? They’re peeved with Gray, Wells and Bowser, but will they back Evans, not exactly the best pro-union bet, instead? At least one small union has already has: in late July, the Maryland/D.C. State Council of the International Association of Machinists and Aerospace Workers endorsed Evans, citing his support for the bill. Gray has already started covering his bases, should he choose to run. In the midst of the debate over the bill, he announced that the new D.C. United stadium to be built at Buzzard Point would be governed by a project labor agreement, which guarantees that construction jobs go to union workers. That leaves Bowser and Wells at a disadvantage, with Wells hurting the most. It’s unlikely that his most stalwart progressive supporters will vote against him in the mayoral primary, but they may also have been put off enough by his vote on the Walmart bill to contribute and volunteer less—both of which will be central to Wells’ campaign, especially as he remains committed to rejecting any corporate contributions. Wells can hope that those progressives soon forget the Walmart bill ever existed, and that might be easier if he manages to push through his bill increasing the minimum wage for all D.C. workers. Even there, though, he faces difficulties: Council member Vincent Orange (D-At Large) has introduced an alternative that would offer a larger increase than what Wells is offering.

H HillRag \| October 2013 H 41 capitolstreets Boosting DC’s Minimum Wage Has Broad Support A starting wage of $12.50 minus benefits for employees of DC big-box retailers proved to be controversial among our city’s elected officials. But even some of the legislation’s strongest critics agreed with supporters on one key point: that DC’s minimum wage is too low and needs to be raised. On the same day the DC Council failed to overturn Mayor Gray’s veto of the Large Retailer Accountability Act, three bills were introduced–with broad support—to boost DC’s minimum wage to more than $10 an hour. And the next day, the mayor himself said that raising the minimum wage is one of his top priorities. Raising the minimum wage – at both the local and federal level – has been demonstrated time and time again to increase take-home pay without resulting in job cuts that hurt low-wage workers. It is one of the most studied economic topics, and the vast weight of the research points to “little if any effect” on jobs. Now is the time for DC residents to hold our elected leaders to their word, as the public debate shifts from the Large Retailer Accountability Act to what might be called a Keep Your Word on Raising the Minimum Wage Accountability Act. Raising The Wage Helps DC Families And Our Economy Everyone knows how expensive DC has become. Whether you recently looked for an apartment and saw $2,700 rents for studios or found out your neighbor sold his 42 H hillrag.com by Elissa Silverman tiny house for much more than the asking price, we are witness daily to DC’s rising housing costs. It boggles the mind to think about how anyone can live in the District on the current minimum wage of $8.25 an hour. Yet many struggle to do just that. At $8.25 an hour, a parent with two kids working full-time earns well below the federal poverty line. Most of DC’s low-income households are in fact working, and many have one or more people with a full-time job. Others work part-time because they work in retail or other service industries where part-time work is the norm. DC has among the highest levels of income inequality – the gap between rich and poor – in the United States. The lowest-earning fifth of DC households have an average income of just $9,100, while the richest five percent have an average income of $470,000. Steps to raise wages are critical to helping low-income residents continue to call DC home. Analysis of a $10.10 wage—as proposed for the entire country by Sen. Tom Harkin (D-Iowa) and Rep. George Miller (D-CA)—shows that it would help 36,000 DC workers, according to the Economic Policy Institute. The estimated $58 million in increased wages would be spent at markets, clothing shops and hardware stores, helping District businesses large and small. The direct and indirect impacts would help an estimated 16,000 children. Almost all affected workers—95 percent— are 20 years or older. This has many benefits, not only to the individual household, but the city as a whole because these residents will be less reliant on taxpayer-funded programs for health care, housing, and food assistance. That saves DC money, allowing us to shift those funds to other investments. Raising The Minimum Helps Workers Without Job Loss Economists have studied the impact of minimum wage increases for decades. And what they have found is good news for low-wage workers: Raising the wage floor provides an income boost for low- and moderate-income households without leading businesses to cut jobs notably. This year, noted economist Paul Krugman wrote that: “U.S. experience offers many ‘natural experiments’ in which one state raises its minimum wage while others do not…the great preponderance of the evidence from these natural experiments points to little if any negative effect of minimum wage increases on employment.” Two economists, John Schmitt and David Rosnick, specifically examined the impact of city-level minimum wages in in a 2011 paper and similarly concluded that “citywide minimum wages can raise the earnings of low-wage workers, without a discernible impact on their employment.” The economic research cannot prove why a minimum wage increase works this way, but they make educated guesses: Some businesses with minimum wage jobs – such as retail – need to be in specific locations to reach customers and cannot move in response to wage hikes. Also, businesses adjust to higher labor costs in many ways, including efficiencies in other parts of their operations. Higher wages also result in lower worker turnover – perhaps because are happier and more committed – a tremendous benefit to a business. This “high-road” approach of paying workers more to get better workers is one that many employers take, most famously Costco. The retailer has average hourly pay of over $20 an hour, and they are wildly successful. The DC Elected Officials Accountability Act The vast majority of DC residents support efforts to raise low wages. A recent Hart Research poll found that seven of 10 residents supported the Large Retailer Accountability Act, and six of 10 would like to have seen a minimum wage increase plus a higher wage for large retailers. This suggests that a majority of all residents will back a stand-alone minimum wage hike. The minimum wage in 1968, measured in today’s dollars, was $9.55 per hour. U.S. labor productivity has risen by 135 percent since then. If the minimum wage had kept up with productivity growth over this period, it would now be $18.67 per hour. Three of the four bills now being considered by the Council would raise the minimum wage to over $10 per hour over the next two to four years. That would bring DC’s wage floor to roughly the 1968 level – though without any adjustment for productivity improvements since then. Here’s a rundown of what has been introduced: • Councilmember Wells introduced a bill that would increase the minimum wage to $10.25 over two years and set future annual increases to the consumer price index. This bill also would increase the standard deduction in DC’s income tax, helping reduce the high taxes paid by DC’s low- and moderate-income families. • Councilmember Catania introduced a bill that would increase the minimum wage to $10.50 over three years, but it would not index to inflation after that. The bill would also amend the city’s paid sick leave law to include tipped restaurant workers. • Councilmember Orange introduced a bill to increase the minimum wage to $12.50 an hour over the next four years and tie future increases to the consumer price index. The bill would also raise the minimum wage paid to tipped workers to 70 percent of the minimum wage. The minimum wage before tips for these workers currently is just $2.77 an hour in DC. • Councilmember Bowser introduced a bill to create a commission on DC’s minimum wage and report recommendations within nine months. Now is not a time to be distracted. There are many things our government can do to improve the lives of low-wage households in our city, including improving the educational resources and outcomes for their kids, providing good job training in growing sectors of our economy, and keeping housing affordable. But having a city of residents who earn above the poverty level makes all these investments pay off even more.

H HillRag \| October 2013 H 43 capitolstreets ANC reports NEWS ANC6A Report by Maggy Baccinelli Grant Approval Process Questioned Before the Community Outreach Committee (COC) presented its recommendation that the ANC approve the grant allocation amounts decided at the last committee meeting, Commissioner Sondra Phillips-Gilbert spoke out against the grant process. She asked that the ANC adopt new guidelines and procedures for the grant application process, and require that the COC follow the Statutory Guidelines. Among other requests, she said: “The COC should not have the authority to make motions to submit to the ANC, but review and provide us with each applicant’s request so that we can make the final decision after our inquiries have been satisfied.” Central to her complaint was that she thought the committee allocation gave unfair preference to committee member Maurice Cook, who the COC recommended should receive $2,720 in grant money (he requested $2,758). Cook, who recused himself from voting, represents Serve Your City, and applied for the grant so that he might put on a youth tennis and rowing program. The other recommendations of the COC included allocations of $250 to Capital Hill Village (CHV), for costs associated with a symposium on healthy aging (CHV requested $500); and $900 to Sherwood Neighbor44 H hillrag.com hood Volunteers for toddler play-group equipment, supplies and tools for an after-school jewelry-making class, and landscaping project maintenance (the organization requested $950). Phillips-Gilbert said the allocation was “biased,” and referenced an email from Cook, which COC Chairperson Elizabeth Nelson had forwarded to 6A commissioners and the local listservs announcing an open house for the program, with the subject line “fun event — bring the kids,” prior to the vote. Phillips-Gilbert said, “There should be no endorsement or advertisement on behalf of any applicant while their request is pending approval to ANC commissioners.” Nelson refuted Phillips-Gilbert’s claim that the grant process was not transparent, saying that all procedures are posted to the website, and that the committee’s agendas are posted on the website one week in advance of each meeting. She added that Statutory Guidelines appear on the grant application form. Nelson explained that the committee members had struggled with their recommendation because there was not a sufficient balance in the grants budget to fund all applications in full, and the committee members had differing opinions as to which should have priority, because they thought all projects were worthwhile. The recommended apportionment was a compromise, Nelson said. Nelson further noted that the COC had a concern as to whether the CHV met the statutory requirement of benefit to the commissioner area (ANC 6A), and suggested that CHV provide information on the number/percentage of potential symposium attendees who live in 6A. However, CHV did not amend their application. Commissioner Omar Mahmud told Phillips-Gilbert that, when she attended the COC meeting, as an ANC commissioner, she could have offered an alternative motion to the grant allocation as listed. Ultimately Chairman Holmes proposed an amendment to the committee’s motion, moving that the CHV grant be brought back to the committee until the benefit to 6A was clarified. Holmes explained that while he supports the organization, he did not feel its application met the requirements imposed upon the ANC, without this information. The amendment to the motion passed 3-2-1. The commissioners then voted on the amended motion (funding for the other two grant applications), which passed on a 5-1 vote. The present Capitol Hill Village representative explained that the symposium would pass before the next meeting and therefore, the organization would not benefit from the grant, if approved later. Ben’s Chili Bowl Joins the Neighborhood Gearing up for the opening of a new Ben’s Chili Bowl on H Street NE, D.C.’s historic staple eatery co-owner, business developer, and general contractor introduced themselves to the community at the September ANC6A meeting. The restaurant will resemble the original on U Street, but with a “Ben’s Upstairs” bar, instead of a “Ben’s Next Door.” Construction has been going on for two months, and Ben’s plans to hire 15 construction positions over the course of the project as it continues. Options PCS Welcomes Community Engagement Options Public Charter School’s new principle, Dr. Simon Earle, intro- duced himself to community members at the meeting, and encouraged them to call on the school administration with any questions and concerns. He offered his personal phone number and extension: 202-547-1028. Ext. 250. Earle’s leadership tenure at Options began on July 8. He wants to increase community engagement to ensure that the community has a relationship with the school, and extended an invitation to Option’s Back to School Night on Sept. 19. The school is also planning an Octoberfest event for the purpose of engaging with the community, on Oct. 5. Earle encouraged the neighborhood to come and meet students, teachers and administration, and see the career and technical education programs that Options offers. Earle also introduced the vice principle of Option’s curriculum and instructions program, Glenn Starnes, and vice principal of operations, Jessica Mathes, who is also involved in the Community Task Force and taking care of members’ security requests. Concerned about the potential of restricted public access to the basketball court behind the school, Commissioner Nick Alberti questioned Earle about a fence recently erected by Options. Earle and Mathes explained that the fence was erected in response to their task force’s concerns about community members’ illegal drug use on the court, and other “inappropriate uses” of the space. Alberti asked to be included in further discussions, and said he was “alarmed” and “very much concerned” that the ANC had not already been privy to discussions about it. Earle said that he did not have background on the protocol coming in, but was happy to cooperate and communicate with the ANC moving forward.

In a 2-3-1 vote, Ward’s motion was defeated. A second motion was offered, however, which would have commissioners send a letter to Councilman Wells supporting efforts to find a living employee wage for all District residents.

Commissioners approved the ABL Committee’s recommendation to formally protest Sahra’s (1200 H Street NE) request for an entertainment endorsement in a 4-1 vote. In a unanimous vote, commissioners approved a request for a variance at 620 9th Street, NE. Commissioners unanimously approved a motion to support the proposed design for 1325-1327 Constitution Avenue NE, the existing site of the Evening Light Apostolic Church provided that the third floor is not visible from the street and the electrical boxes are not placed on public property. Commissioners did not support the requests for a special exception and two variances at 1120 Park Street, because the property owners did not fulfill the EDZ Committee-recommended condition of obtaining letters of support from both adjoining property owners. The commissioners amended the motion so that they will state the situation clearly to the Board of Zoning Adjustment, as not to further impede the project if the letters are received. • • • Commissioners unanimously accepted the requested zoning order change for 901 D Street NE. Commissioners unanimously accepted that the previously adopted motion of 1102 H Street NE, applies to any subsequent BZA case.. Commissioners (with Mahmud recusing himself ) approved support for a patio cover on public space for the Argonaut, 1433 H Street NE. H ANC6B Report by Emily Clark C ommissioners returned from the August break to face once again the uneasy and ongoing coexistence between residents, restaurants and reconstruction. Nine commissioners were present, with Commissioner Campbell absent. During community speakout, Michael Witmore, the new director of the Folger Shakespeare Library, introduced himself. Witmore said the library is working on a strategic plan to share resources and meet the challenge of accommodating the disabled. Commissioner Garrison announced that hearings will be held throughout the fall to discuss proposed changes to the DC zoning laws. Commissioner Jayaraman said that the space formerly occupied by Crepes on the Corner at 15th St. SE has been leased by a cupcake company that will also sell coffee and pastries. Crepes on the Corner closed a year ago and the property has been vacant since then. Rooftop Dining vs. Resident Privacy Chef/owner Aaron Silverman of the soon-to-open Rose’s Luxury on Barracks Row, asked the Commission to approve the addition of a rooftop summer garden with seating for 1216 diners. Silverman noted that he has signed letters of support from seven of the nine neighbors affected, a blueprint of the plans and a landlord right around the corner. He also said that he is now asking for less than the 20 seats already approved by the DCRA and that he would put up a barrier of shrubs to block any views into neighboring properties. “This is just tables for dinner in our garden,” he said, “no bar, equipment or serving station outside.” Commissioner Peisch said he had looked at the space and leafleted neighbors and that Silverman has already signed a voluntary agreement and is doing everything he can to accommodate neighbors’ concerns. Most commissioners had no objection, though Commissioner Garrison called Silverman’s plans “generically a bad idea,” causing Commissioner Pate to retort, “That’s your opinion and not mine. I’m OK with this.” After Paul Sloan, a neighbor who lives behind the restaurant, expressed concern about his privacy, the discussion moved into the hallway, with Silverman and Peisch talking with Sloan to work out a solution. New sentences were added to the settlement agreement that addressed the steps taken to assure privacy, and the commission voted 8-1 (Garrison) to approve. Meanwhile, in an overall discussion of enforcement issues for violations of ABRA VAs, Commissioner Frishberg noted that ABRA has a 24-hour line for reporting and that there are increasing fines for multiple violations of license and settlement agreements. Trouble in the Alley The license for Bernaise on Pennsylvania Ave. SE focused on the ongoing vermin problem in the alley behind. Harvey Mendelsohn—who with his children owns Bernaise, Good Stuff and We the Pizza—said that Bernaise will be “more upscale and should be welcome in the neighborhood.” Commissioner Garrison noted that there is a signed voluntary agreement, and said that approval should be routine except for neighbors’ concerns. “They’re concerned about load control in a narrow and poorly constructed alley, and the ongoing rat problem that comes from having three restaurants’ worth of trash.” Mendelsohn pointed out that Good Stuff is in its seventh year, We the Pizza is three years old, and that he is taking steps to insure that they HillRag \| October 2013 H 47 Advisory Neighborhood Commission 6C ANC 6C serves Capitol Hill, Union Station, NoMa as far east as 8th Street N.E.

The commissioners said the matter had come to them late, so they voted 7-0-1 (Peisch abstaining) to discuss the license in a special call meeting later in September. More Food Fights Commissioners voted 6-1-1 (Pate opposing, Peisch abstaining) to allow the owners of South East Market at 1500 Independence Ave. SE to add hot food service. Discussion mostly concerned placement of the trash enclosure (the owners want to move it from 15th St. to Independence) and odor and trash control. Rail Tunnel Reconstruction By unanimous vote, the Commission approved sending a letter to DDOT in response to its draft environmental impact statement regarding reconstruction of the Virginia Avenue rail tunnel. Representatives from ANC 6D showed up to support the responses, which are designed to address neighborhood concerns over the impact of the project. Commissioner Oldenburg—who received expressions of gratitude and praise for her work on the response— said that the Commission would like to see the project proceed with “the least impact and the most benefits.” Neighbors expressed concerns about noise and vibration and called for access to monitoring results.

H ANC6C Report by Charnice A. Milton Grants Proposals In a special Thursday night meeting, the Commission heard two grant proposals. First, Katie McDonough, executive director of Capitol Hill Village, requested $500 for their Healthy Aging Symposium on October 4. The organization, which helps older residents stay in their homes, hopes to use the money to rent space at the Hill Center at the Old Naval Hospital. However, Commission president Karen Wirt warned that the ANC cannot give funds for food, entertainment, or travel. With that exception, the Commission accepted the request with a six-zero vote. Second, Anwar Saleem, executive director of H Street Main Street, asked for up to $5000 to cover health and safety expenses, including EMTs and porta-potties, for the H Street Festival. While Commissioner Mark Kazmierczak felt that this was a great use of funds, Commissioner Mark Eckenwiler disagreed, saying he had a “serious problem” with the fact that Saleem did not notify the Commission of the organization’s plans to expand the event. While Saleem does not need the Commission’s permission to hold the festival, he was encouraged to engage them throughout the process. Despite this, the Commission voted five-one to release $2,000, their grant limit. Third and L Streets In July, the Commission rejected a Planned Unit Development (PUD) application modification for a project located on the corner of Third and L Streets; this month, representatives from the Cohen Companies and Holland and Knight presented more modifications addressing amenity, parking, and loading issues. Ronald Cohen explained the history behind the PUD and his desire to combine the separate properties. When questioned about the timing, Cohen replied that he was too far into the PUD process to consolidate the properties. To solve the parking and enforceability issue, project representative Chip Glasgow stated that they would add a provision in the lease explaining parking rules and consequences. Also, he cleared the misconception that the developers will place a loading zone on Third or L Streets. Finally, the developers will add more square footage, units, and bike racks. Despite the changes, Commissioner Goodman was still concerned that the project is not part of the consolidated PUD. With a three-one vote and two abstentions, the Commission failed to support the project. Proposed Zoning Regulations Commissioner Eckenwiler announced that the Office of Planning (OP) submitted a revised proposal to update zoning regulations. The Zoning Commission (ZC) held a set down discussion with OP on September 9 to discuss whether the new proposal was ready to present for residents’ consideration. The ZC plans to hold a series of hearings starting in November, where they will go through each section of the revised proposal. Commissioner Eckenwiler hopes that the Planning, Zoning, and Environment (PZE) Committee will to hold its own informational meeting and recommend a position on certain aspects for the Commission can consider in November. Romeo & Juliet – 301 Massachusetts Avenue Representatives for the upcoming Romeo & Juliet American Restaurant presented a public space proposal for an enclosed outdoor sidewalk cafe. It will be separated into three areas; one located along Massachusetts Avenue, the northern enclosure with a fabric awning located along Third Street, and the southern enclosure with a metal roof and glass doors.

Residents also brought up issues about valet parking; since it is illegal for a valet service to park customers’ cars in residential area, many residents questioned where those cars would go. With this and other concerns to consider, the Commission voted sixzero to postpone the discussion. Pocket Parks During the Transportation and Public Space Committee meeting, ANC 6A Chair David Holmes discussed recent developments about pocket park administration. Pocket parks are District-created small parks used as public space. Historically, agencies within the National Park Service owned the parks; however, some parks are now controlled by the DC Department of Transportation (DDOT). In certain cases, DDOT can allow adjacent landowners to build on and control these lands, which, Commissioner Holmes argued, should be open to all residents. The committee recommended sending a letter to Mayor Vincent Gray, Ward 6 Councilmember Tommy Wells, Transportation Committee Chair Mary Cheh, and DDOT Director Terry Bellamy, outlining three demands: that the Department of Parks and Recreation (DPR) control the DC-owned pocket parks, let ANCs regulate park usage, and for the city to provide clarity as to which pocket parks it owns. The Commission voted six-zero to adopt this recommendation, with the amendment that they also send the letter to the at-large councilmembers and DPR’s director. In addition, Commissioner Goodman discussed Reservation 280, an area of land located near 616 M Street. When a developer built a patio on the reservation, DDOT sent a stop-work order stating that the structure was on federal land. Although there are plans to dismantle the patio, the Commission voted six-zero to write a letter opposing any future development on Reservation 280. Other Business • The Commission voted to support three notices of intent (NOI): temporary changes to calm traffic improve pedestrian safety along 50 H hillrag.com • • Maryland Avenue, adding bike facilities on F Street, and installing a traffic light at the Florida Avenue and 2nd Street intersection. They voted against an NOI to convert the 100 block of F Street into twoway traffic, with the recommendation to conduct a traffic study. The Commission voted to protest DDOT’s proposal to expand the availability of 365-day Visitor Parking Permits to all residential parking areas. Commissioner Kazmierczak announced that while the protest hearing against Tru Orleans’ liquor license renewal is scheduled for September 19, the Office of Tax and Revenue shut the restaurant down for owing back taxes and fees. Also, Commissioner Goodman announced that Fur Nightclub has been served an eviction notice after complaints of violence. The Commission failed to remove two members from the Alcoholic Beverage Regulation Committee. H ANC6D Report by Roberta Weiner F or the first time in its history, according to ANC Chairman Andy Litsky, the Commission had so much on its plate that it split its agenda into two parts and held two full meetings on September 9 and September 18. But that wasn’t all—a special meeting capped off the schedule to complete action on a response to a Draft Environmental Impact Statement (DEIS) on the CSX tunnel. This report summarizes it all. Response to CSX Draft Environmental Impact Statement a Difficult Process In July, a 1600-page DEIS was prepared by the District Department of Transportation (DDOT), the Federal Highway Administration (FHA), and other agencies on the planned reconstruction and expansion of the CSX Virginia Avenue Tunnel (VAT). Commissioner David Garber, whose Single Member District includes the tunnel, undertook, with concerned neighbors, to study the report and write a response. Mr. Garber’s nine-page response pointed out that the DEIS was deficient in many ways, including factual inaccuracies, inconsistencies and questionable statements that undermine its credibility. Neighbors of the tunnel are concerned with the expansion of the proposed footprint of the tunnel, noise and dust, access to their front doors, a lack of consideration of alternative routes and inadequate attention to the National Environmental Policy Act of 1969 (NEPA). It also points out that the document does not include any benefits to the neighborhood. When discussion of the letter began, Commissioner Ed Kaminski distributed a page of questions, calling the response overly legalistic, and questioning whether the expertise of its author was adequate to comment on technical issues. Mr. Litsky pointed out that the ANC has been working on the issue for several years and Mr. Garber added that the letter was responding to issues such as noise, vibrations and other quality of life issues, which were also brought up by the numerous community members who were present, Commissioner Donna Hopkins offered to edit the letter to a shorter length, and, since the comments were due on September 25, a meeting was scheduled for Sunday morning to discuss only one agenda item, the revised document. However, on Sunday morning Commissioner Ron McBee arrived with an alternative document that had been sent to the Commission members at 3 a.m., just five hours before the meeting. So the first order of business became a reading of Mr. McBee’s document so that the Commission could decide whether it should be considered as part of the discussion. While the McBee document received compliments for addressing the community’s concerns, it did not specifically address the content of the DEIS, and therefore, according to one commenter “misses the point” of responding. Another neighbor said that Mr. Garber had delved deeply into the DEIS, while Mr. McBee had answered questions that hadn’t been asked in the DEIS. It was suggested by some, before it was voted down, that the letter be sent subsequently as a free-standing document, And so, after voting to not consider Mr. McBee’s letter, and agreeing that the edited letter was fine, the ANC voted 4-2 to support the report, The two votes against the report were Commissioners McBee and Kaminski, who said that not having read the DEIS, he couldn’t vote to support the letter. A Movie Theater Will Share Site With Historic DC Water Building The historic and elegant Beaux Arts water treatment plant sits on a large parcel of land that is part of The Yards development, along with another DC Water pumping station, at N Place SE, 1st Street -SE, and Diamond Teague Park. The site will be developed as a 600-unit residential building, with 48 units of affordable housing, and a multi-screen movie theatre. Commissioner David Garber pointed out that Forest City Washington, which is the developer, has been responsive in discussions about community benefits, including a green roof, electric car charging stations, the creation of 350 new jobs, a commitment to the preservation of the pumping station, and a willingness to put it all in writing. Commissioner Litsky applauded the fact that the site was finally being developed, and the ANC unanimously supported the developer’s request for support of its PUD. Southwest to Get BID A detailed plan for a Southwest BID (Business Improvement District) was presented to the Commission by Steve Moore, of Hoffman Madison, developers of the Wharf. A task force of local stakeholders—primarily developers--has been meeting since June, exploring other local BIDs (for example, Capitol Riverfront BID, Capitol Hill BID), assessing their visions and their programs and coming up with ideas for Southwest, According to its materials, the BID can “begin the work of creating a distinct identity for this quadrant of the city...[jt] can improve accessibility and transportation choices,,,[it] can launch a business attraction program, design and execute a special event calendar and establish a new baseline for ‘clean and safe’ programs.” Several categories of membership will underwrite the BID, ranging from commercial property owners and hotels, to residential apartment buildings of 10 units or more. According to Moore, the BID must be approved by both the Mayor and the City Council, and expect to be ready to start up within 60 to 70 days. Commissioner Ron McBee was concerned that the proposed boundaries of the BID do not extend below M Street SW, while going to Independence Avenue on the north. The ANC voted unanimously to approve the concept of the BID. Town Center East – The Next Chapter After another month of hard work and negotiation, Commissioner Roger Moffatt and a task force appointed to work on the outstanding issues at the Town Center East project at 3rd and M Streets SE asked for the Commissioners’ support of a Historic Preservation concept review of the project. The proposed rebuilding and expansion had met with major protest from apartment owners and tenants. Another issue was the historic integrity of the I.M. Pei buildings The big news is that the building proposed to fill the courtyard between the north and south buildings will not be built, and the courtyard will be redesigned to be an amenity for the residents. Additionally, the developer has redesigned the balconies, reducing their size to “Juliet” balconies and facing them with translucent glass that will provide some increase in privacy. Mr. Moffatt made a lengthy motion, approving the current concept of the project; with a long list of conditions the developer must met by the developer. It was, however, not good enough for the residents of the two buildings. One major concern remains the privacy on the balconies of the apartments facing other buildings. Another, with greater impact, is materials being used in the building, a “cataclysm of materials that completely destroys the elegance of the site,” according to one resident who spoke, and it ignores the historic designation that was recently granted to the buildings. The ANC ended up approving the concept plan, which comes before the Historic Preservation Review Board on September 26th. It sounded very much as if there will be more. WE WILL BEAT YOUR BEST PRICE!

The building will have 195 apartments, 34 of which will be available as affordable units. Construction of the long-awaited community center, part of the Capper/Carrollsburg development, will begin in 2014. Agreed request that DDOT remove five metered parking spaces on I Street SW, just west of South Capitol Street in order to eliminate a current obstacle in the route of the I Street bike lanes. Gave its approval to a request for support of a 2nd Stage PUD for the northwest parcel of land at Waterfront Station, behind the office building on 4th Street, SE to be developed as a residential building. A community benefits agreement is being negotiated, Heard a presentation on a new 281,000 square foot office and retail building to be constructed at the corner of South Capitol and N Streets SE. The developer was seeking support for a BZA application for four loading docks, and for approval of their plan in the context of the Capitol Gateway The commission voted unanimously to approve both requests. Voted to approve zoning variances and a public space permit for curb cuts at the site of a matter of right building at 800 New Jersey Avenue SE, which will be a mix of residential and retail. The retail will include a grocery store for which a contract should be signed within a month. Dealt with several liquor license issues, many of which had outdoor space at their core: Hill Country Barbeque will open an outdoor barbeque, called the Home Stand, at 105 Tingay Street SE, near the ballpark to be open on game days; Nando’s Peri Peri, the Peruvian chicken establishment, just opened at The Yards, has applied both for a stipulated license and a regular license, as well as a summer garden; Kruba, also at The Yards, has applied for a substantial change in its license in order to have a sidewalk café at its waterfront location; and the Park Tavern at Canal Park plans on closing its street level outdoor café and move it to its rooftop. All of these changes were unanimously approved, as were licenses for Agua, and Presidential yacht Sequoia. Because of the Columbus Day holiday, the next meeting of ANC 6D will be on Monday, October 21, at 7 p.m. at 1191 4th Street SW, 2nd Floor. H ANC6E Report by Steve Holton Parcel 42 Update Marullus Williams, a representative of TenSquare LLC, spoke at the meeting and gave board members and attendees an update on Parcel 42, which is located at 7th Street and Rhode Island Avenue NW. “We were just rewarded the contract by the city, so we’re in the early stages of the project,” said Williams. The project will have 105 apartments and retail units and 40 underground parking spaces. The project is slated to start in 2015 and be completed in 2017. The building will dedicate 5,000 square feet to retail and commercial use that could include restaurants and a garden store. The open courtyard and covered terrace are designed to be attractive for residents and guests. TenSquare is currently talking with neighborhood residents on possibly including a play ground and bike racks on a small parcel of the property. There will be 21 units devoted to affordable housing that will be made available to households with incomes below 50 percent of the Area Medium Income (AMI). It is expected that over 500 construction related jobs and over 15 jobs related to retail and property management will be created as a result. A mural dedicated to African American history of the Shaw area will also be installed in the building’s lobby. Parking was the chief concern raised by the board at the meeting. “Parking is a big problem here and 40 spots for over 100 people will not be enough with retail space”, said ANC6E02 Commissioner Kevin Chapple. Chapple’s comments were echoed by ANC6E01 Commissioner Alexander Padro who said, “This building will not make it with 40 spots and severe parking issues. Residents want to park when they arrive home and spots are already scarce especially with Howard University events and Sunday church traffic, which could also hurt retail units of the new building who need spaces for their customers”. Ivan Matthews, Project Manager for the Office of the Deputy Mayor for Planning and Economic Development, was on hand to address the boards parking concerns. “We are considering making more parking spaces and will . - - l continue to work with the community on this. We need to bring in several agencies including DC DOT to ensure that the new building’s parking doesn’t affect residents”, said Matthews. The board also expressed concerns that the building design, which will be seen by many people, does not carry a “wow” effect and should take on a more iconic signature look. The board motioned to approve, by a vote of five to one, continuing the project but asked to see other building designs and additional planning from the city and developers to have two levels of parking with 100 spaces. “This will be a public process and we will be back many times to show different designs”, said Williams. Visit www.shaw42developers.com for more details on the design plans and community benefits. Giant Support Request Representatives from the Giant Supermarket located at 1400 7th Street NW requested support for a Class B (beer and wine sales) and Class D (in-store café) Liquor License. The new 40,000 square foot store will open Nov. 8 and will have 110 spots for parking and employ over 200 people with over 100 of them being neighborhood residents. “Our target date could slip a little with construction issues”, said Giant Supermarket Representative Steve O’Brien. The board requested that the store be safe inside and out with surveillance cameras and security personnel. Giant said 45 cameras will be in place inside and outside of the store’s perimeter with at least one armed guard on patrol 24 hours a day and one plain clothes undercover officer 80 hours a week. The board approved the Class B Liquor License provided that Giant have a minimum of three armed guards on hand 24 hours a day. Giant’s request for support of a Class D Liquor License for an in-store café that will serve beer and wine from 8 a.m. to midnight also passed the board, but was contingent on the exterior street doors being closed with panic bars to prevent bag snatching or that there be two security guards on site. Parks And Recreation An officer from the National Park Service (NPS) told the board that NPS is putting an increased focus on triangle parks and other national parks in the 6E area. More plain clothes and uniformed officers will be on site and more motorcycle units will be on patrol. Several arrests related to drugs and drinking on the public properties have been made since the changes. “I have had resistance with NPS operators when making a call to report suspicious activity”, said ANC6E04 Commissioner Rachelle Nigro. The NPS officer urged Nigro and all other meeting participants to call 202-610-7500 and ask to speak with a dispatch supervisor when reporting a crime or concerns.

The Southwest Neighborhood Plan will focus on four key elements â€“ people, parks, connections, and building. A Public Kickoff meeting related to the Southwest Neighborhood Plan was held on September 11th at Arena Stage. The meeting was well-attended by people who live and/or work in Southwest. For the first hour or so, there was an Open House with different stations that allowed residents to comment about the benefits and challenges that exist in each of the four key elements of the neighborhood plan. Afterwards, Planning Director Harriet Tregoning and Ward by William Rich 6 Planning Coordinator Melissa Bird gave a presentation about the planning process and entertained questions from the audience. Tregoning said that some of the values Southwest residents expressed to her during the Open House portion of the meeting include diversity, green space/tree canopy, and the library. Following the presentation, the Open House resumed for another hour. During the planning process, the Office of Planning and their consultants will work with the community to help inform their recommendations for the Southwest neighborhood. First, they will assess the development potential for a number of underutilized District-owned properties are in the study area, including Randall Recreation Center, the northeast parcel of Water- front Station, First District headquarters, Lansburgh Park, the Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV) inspection station, and the District of Columbia Fire Department Repair Shop/Engine Co. # 7, among others. The team will create an urban design framework that promotes greater pedestrian access, improved neighborhood connectivity and increased transportation choices. A coordinated approach to public parks and public space improvements will be developed. Finally, opportunities will be identified to enhance sustainability at a neighborhood-level.

Construction will begin by the end of 2014 and completion is scheduled for the fourth quarter of 2018. During the construction period, some steps that will be taken to help minimize disruption to the neighborhood include the delivery of construction materials by water, the use of water trucks to reduce dust, designated haul routes, and no construction worker parking in neighborhoods.

The Festival stretched all the way down to include the 400 block of H Street NE. It featured a large number of businesses along the corridor, as well as numerous food trucks. New businesses that have yet to open, like Po Boy Jim’s, showed off their culinary chops. Kids and adults alike clambered up REI’s climbing wall. Others rolled around in human sized hamster balls. Competitors raced to down pies, water ice, tacos, and half-smokes in contests all up and down H Street NE. The entire strip was alive with the energy of the event. Even the heavy downpour did not end the festivities. The H Street Festival is a chance for all of us to celebrate our neighborhood, and its many businesses. It’s also a terrific way to attract new visitors to the neighborhood. Hopefully, some of the people who came to H Street for the first time that day will return to patronize the businesses, and various arts venues that we all enjoy on a daily basis. Crafty Bastards Draws Crowds Did you make it to Crafty Bastards (http://www. washingtoncitypaper.com/craftybastards) this year? If so, you saw an array of offerings from a wide variety of vendors. Stalls adorned with custom belts, and baby monsters hoodies delighted shoppers. Tables in the kids’ section teemed with youngsters busily engaged with craft projects. Last year’s craft fair suffered from congestion so bad it was difficult to get a good look at the vendors’ wares. Thus, the addition of the second day was most welcome. This year it was easy to see the merchandise, and I enjoyed the experience far more than last year. 58 H hillrag.com Crafty Bastards celebrated its second year at Union Market. ABOVE: The H Street Festival drew over 100,000 visitors to the neighborhood. Something else new this year was the New Belgium beer garden, and a large gathering of food trucks. This addition helped alleviate the ridiculously long lines for food at Union Market vendors during last year’s event. The organizers seem to have found the right balance on all points this time. It’s a great family friendly event (they even had a stroller corral), and it truly offers a little something for everyone.

According to the landlord, In DC, the rhetoric of gentrification often takes on an overly simplistic black versus white slant. This film goes beyond that, lightly digging into H Street NE’s history while eloquently telling the story of the store’s team with a quiet dignity. At its heart, this is a story of a Polish immigrant Jewish family planting roots in search of the American dream, and the alliances they formed with African American employees. The store primarily catered to African American customers, but to paraphrase one employee, the only color the owner saw was green.

Though the experience of the people in the documentary is an individual and highly personal one, it’s also not an isolated tale. It’s a story about gentrification, and changing neighborhood demographics, as well as shifting retail shopping patterns in the United States. I would recommend it to anyone who lives in, or frequents, the area surrounding the H Street NE Corridor. What I like about this documentary is that it puts a human face on the owner, and on the employees. Second, it doesn’t take the easy way out.

During this past summer, as we began to think about planning for 2014, we decided to conduct a survey.

All of these items received high or very high approval ratings. The sense of community, the broad choice of restaurants, Eastern Market, and Barracks Row were most frequently cited as Hill’s best characteristics. The survey also identified several areas where you want to see meaningful improvements: specifically, more retail and service offerings, as well as changes to enhance both pedestrian and cyclists’ safety. Not surprisingly, traffic and parking were called out as frustrations. We are grateful to all of you who participated in the survey and in future editions of this column we will go into the survey’s findings in more depth. Our survey was distributed electronically to subscribers of many local newsletters, email lists and Twitter feeds including those of the Capitol Hill BID, the Capitol Riverfront BID, Hill is Home, and Mothers on the Hill - to name just a few. 94.1% of respondents either live or both live and work on the Hill. Three quarters of respondents have lived here 4 to 20+ years and they are here because they want to be. “I feel like I completely lucked out… I love this place” and “Love, love.

HillRag \| October 2013 H 61 communitylife Resident Board Game Designer by Meghan Markey B efore intricate online worlds intoxicated gamers worldwide, before XBOX, Playstation, dance revolutions, and even Settlers of Catan, there was Yahtzee, Scrabble, and Boggle. Capitol Hill resident Ben Rosset grew up playing these games with his grandmother, and as he got older, graduated to more involved board games. “I was the geek who stayed home on Saturday nights to play Axis and Allies with my dad when my high school friends were going out,” he says. While many of us share these fond childhood memories of game nights with family, few of us have translated those experiences into a hobby that takes one from game player to game designer – which is exactly where this 32 year old has found himself. Ben Rosset, designer of the game Mars Needs Mecfhanics. Mars Needs Mechanics Enter “Mars Needs Mechanics,” a board game that Rosset has spent the last five years developing. The year is 1873, and players compete for the position of Astronautical Engineer on a Mars-bound mission on behalf of London’s Royal Academy The board game Mars Needs Mechanics. 62 H hillrag.com of Space Exploration. The player who amasses the greatest amount of cogs, accumulated by purchasing and selling raw materials such as wire, lenses, magnets, piping, boilers and scrap, wins the coveted position--and the game. One of the game’s charms is that it is deceptively complex. Players can not only buy materials on their turn, they have the option to build or break down mechanisms such as a Disabling Device or Clockwork Rooster, which spark rules that influence game play. The game is anchored in economics, and winning relies on the player’s aptitude to strategically influence the value of goods in the marketplace, while keeping tabs on opponent’s intentions. But how did this decidedly cool, steampunk gem of a game go from a framework in Rosset’s mind to a bonafide published game? About five years ago, Rosset was doing what most people in their late twenties do – hanging out with like-minded friends, which in Rosset’s case was playing board games with a game designer he knew. His friend showed him a game he was working on. “So he showed it to me, and I thought, that’s fantastic, that is awesome. I want to do that. And from that day on, I’ve considered myself a game designer and gone full-speed ahead with it,” he says. Rosset wanted to design an economicsbased game. He had to tinker with the mechanics (no pun intended!) of the game for some time before the structure clicked. He went through about four iterations of the game before he had a breakthrough. The “eureka!” moment came when he hit upon the concept of a sales order line, which drives the momentum of Mars Needs Mechanics. Materials that are bought and purchased are lined up, and as more players purchase a material, it gets bumped to the front of the line, which increases its value during the selling part of the game. What makes a great game interesting is the sense of tension and rhythm of the gameplay, and this can only be tested by, obviously… getting a group of people together and actually playing the game. Community Feedback: The Key to Good Game Design Rosset drew on the local gaming community of DC to test the sales order line and the game as a whole, and provide feedback. This was integral to its development, which at the time bore a Middle Eastern bazaar theme and was tentatively called “The Market.” Resident Capitol Hill gameshop and mecca for all things game-related, Labyrinth Games & Puzzles, was more than happy to provide a space where Rosset could test his game. It was a fortuitous relationship – Labyrinth was a fairly new installment in Capitol Hill when Rosset was looking for players to test his game – there is only so much pizza one can bribe friends with on a Saturday night, as he says. “I remember right after they opened, I went and introduced myself to Kathleen, and this was before I had Mars Needs Mechanics. And I said, could I do an event here and advertise my game and see if I could get some game testers? And she said, absolutely. So she publicized it and put it in the newsletter.” Kathleen Donahue, the owner of Labyrinth, is a huge proponent of community involvement. Her shop regularly partners with area schools and hosts a variety of specialized game nights. “The concept of the store is to bring the community together, and I really like that. A lot of people want to design games, but there are few that actually do. We try to help local game designers as much as possible,” she says. After Rosset had the foundation of his game, he attended a boardgame convention and realized that almost all of his gaming colleagues were communicating through social media, particularly Twitter. And Twitter is how he found the company that would publish his game – Nevermore Games, a publisher based in Richmond, Virginia. They retooled the theme, in consultation with Rosset, over several months – the 12th century silk and spice bazaar theme was replaced by a 19th century industrial British theme. Nevermore Games successfully used the platform Kickstarter to fund the game; and Mars Needs Mechanics was born. It was only fitting for a project so locally based that my first introduction to Rosset and Mars Needs Mechanics was at one of Labyrinth’s “Meet the Designer” events. “Labyrinth has had a big, positive, huge effect on where I am today with my networking and finding other designers and feeling that support,” Rosset says. And Rosset is not slowing down. He is currently play-testing his second game, Brew Crafters. Unlike Mars Needs Mechanics, it was theme driven from the beginning, inspired by a trip to the Dogfish Head Craft Brewery in Milton, Delaware. The game is about building a brewery, and with DC’s current rise in local breweries and love affair with all things beer, it will undoubtedly be a popular addition to the DC gaming scene. Rosset’s games may never reach the mass commercial success of a Scrabble or Boggle or Yahtzee, but I bet that his grandmother is smiling. H HillRag \| October 2013 H 63 communitylife At Your Service by Ellen Boomer Top Chefs Chefs Neil Wilson and Jason Lawrence, who met as students at L’Academie de Cuisine, both worked for James Beard Award-winning chefs in DC before teaming up in 2008 to work as personal chefs who can help throw a flawless dinner party. For Wilson and Lawrence, eating organic comes naturally. Growing up, both men spent time on farms and were used to the practice of eating what’s local and seasonal. “I had an early appreciation for preserving fresh food which is what everybody is experiencing now,” Lawrence said. “We both remember milking the cows ourselves and then straining the milk,” Wilson added. They do most of the preparation at the event site, and depart after the dessert course and kitchen clean up. “We are trying to recreate that restaurant experience, with the best restaurant feel,” Lawrence said.

The entrée is almost always Continental or American. We got to do a lot of duck last year, which almost no one cooks at home.” “As the host, you can sit back and enjoy your event, knowing that your guests will leave raving about the meal,” said Erin Reeder, an event planner for political fundraisers. “In addition to being phenomenal chefs, they are professional, fun and timely.” The chefs’ fees, which do not include the cost of food, range from $45 per person for a buffet for 25 people to $75 per person for a multi-course dinner for 12. While most guests use their own glassware and dinnerware, Chefs Lawrence and Wilson can arrange for these items and will hire professional servers and bartenders, for an additional fee. 64 H hillrag.com system that’s neater for the house with equipment that’s better or comparable to anything anybody else is selling, and we can usually do it at a better price,” Kelly said in terms of what distinguishes his company from its competitors. “We strive to maintain architectural integrity and add modern conveniences by creating designs that can condition a house properly without destroying the inside architecturally,” Kelly explained. “They stand behind what they’ve done and offer competitive rates,” says client Peter Hackett, a Hill resident. “Polar Bear has installed five separate systems for us.

To L’Enfant, these in- by Robert S. Pohl tersections would be open spaces that would be named for, and cared for, by the individual states – and the congressional delegation would live around these squares. An added bonus was that neither the city or nor the federal government would be on the hook for the upkeep of these nodes, relying instead on the competitive instinct of each state to transform it into a place of beauty. In the aftermath of L’Enfant’s firing, this plan was one of the casualties, and it was instead the avenues themselves that were given the names of the states.

With the influx of injured soldiers from nearby battles, the federal government was in dire need of open space – preferably enclosed, but any large enough space could be filled with tents to turn into a hospital. Of particular interest was the intersection of Massachusetts and North Carolina Avenues, a mile due east of the Capitol. In short order, a large hospital had been erected and filled with recovering soldiers. The inmates soon began to refer to their temporary home as Lincoln Hospital, named for the man they felt was responsible for their current straits. Soon thereafter, the powers-that-be decreed that this was, in fact, an excellent name for this hospital, which, in spite of being made of wood and canvas, was considered one of the most successful and modern of those institutions in Washington. Unsurprisingly, after the end of the war and the death of Abraham Lincoln, the name stuck and the park was eventually rounded out with a statue of the great man himself. And, in fact, when it came to naming further intersections, the idea that the political leaders of the country who had successfully navigated the attempt at secession should be honored was held to. While across the city, these circles and squares were named for Civil War generals (and an admiral,) here on the Hill, two further were named for members of Lincoln’s fabled Team of Rivals. tion of Maryland and Massachusetts Avenues was named for Edwin Stanton, Lincoln’s Secretary of War for most of the conflict. Stanton had replaced the corrupt Simon Cameron less than a year into Lincoln’s first term, and served with distinction for over seven years. He died a year and a half after leaving office and just before being confirmed as a Supreme Court justice. Naming a part of DC after him seemed the least that could be done to honor his work. Sadly, other than the name, little related to Stanton would be affixed to the park. The first attempt to erect a statue in the square came in 1873. It failed, but given that the statue was to be of General George H. Thomas, the “Rock of Chicamauga,” instead of Stanton, and Thomas eventually found himself a spot across town, there was no real issue with this. In 1877, a second attempt at gracing the park with a statue was begun. This time, however, the man honored was General Nathanael Greene of Revolutionary War fame. Once again, Stanton found himself statue-less – and there were even attempts to rename the entire square after Greene. Fortunately for Stanton, this floundered on the rocks of bureaucratic inertia, and thus at least the name stayed.

The Nathanael Greene statue in Stanton Park (LOC) Square at the intersection of North Carolina and Pennsylvania Avenues, there actually is a statue of a Seward. However, the statue is not of William Henry Seward who served as Secretary of State during Lincoln’s entire time in office, and after whom the park is named, but his adopted daughter, Olive Risley Seward. Seward had been badly injured by members of the conspiracy that killed Lincoln. While he recovered from this wounds, his wife Frances, and daughter, Fanny, both died, reportedly from the shock they had received that night. Seward thus turned to Olive Risley, the daughter of a friend, to assist him. Over the next few years, she became indispensable to Seward, and they spent so much time together that tongues began to wag about the relationship between him and this woman 30 years his junior. In order to quiet the rumors, Seward adopted Risley. For the next two years until Seward’s death, Risley accompanied her adoptive father everywhere, and assisted him in writing about his travels. Immediately after Seward’s death, the decision was made to name a square in the city after him. Since his colleague Stanton had received this honor just two years earlier, it seemed that a nearby park would be the appropriate recipient of this honor. Unfortunately, once again bureaucratic inertia struck, and it was thus not until 1902 that a bill was introduced to rectify the oversight. Washing- tonians, for their part, had been referring to the intersection of North Carolina and Pennsylvania as Seward Place for many years. Just under 100 years after Seward’s death, the sculptor John Cavanaugh decided that Seward Square needed some statuary. Beginning with a 46-square-foot sheet of lead, and undeterred by the fact that he could find no picture of Olive Risley Seward, Cavanaugh sculpted what James M. Goode refers to as an “idealized likeness of a Victorian lady” in his book The Outdoor Sculpture of Washington D.C. A few years later, comparisons to actual pictures of Ms. Seward showed that Cavanaugh had actually gotten pretty close. Sadly, by then, Cavanaugh had passed away from lung disease quite possibly contracted through his frequent use of lead. Today, from the front yard of a private home at the corner of 6th and North Carolina Ave. SE, Olive Risley Seward continues to look towards the park named after her adoptive father, which remains otherwise bereft of statuary. Perhaps, as further improvements are made to Capitol Hill, other places where avenues intersect will be named for the other 11 men who served in Lincoln’s cabinet during his time as President.

Photo: Cyd Price 80 H hillrag.com Itâ€™s All in the Beat Local Capitol Hill Jazz Band Unites Musicians With Neighbors at Monthly ‘21st At 21’ Gatherings by Cyd Price 21 Gessford Court is more than the address of David Weiner’s artfilled home, nestled away in a colorful alleyway courtyard off 11th St. SE. It’s also the name of a lively local jazz band, as well as the venue for that band’s performances, held on the 21st of every month. And, as word of this monthly musical jam session continues to spread, 21 Gessford Court is becoming the destination for more and more musicians – both amateur and professional – as well as their followers and neighbors from around Capitol Hill. Take the most recent Saturday, Sept. 21, gathering as an example. Approximately 50-60 people showed up, most with bottles of wine and potluck dinner contributions in hand (Weiner or a volunteer chef make an entrée – chili, lasagna, roast chicken – to give the meal a start). For a $10 cover charge, they rocked the night away while mingling with a rotating mix of musicians and singers who took turns jamming together on the open, two-story performance floor with guests listening from the balcony above. “The monthly 21st @ 21 events and Sunday evening practice sessions give local musicians a chance to engage in their passion in a relaxed, informal setting. And neighbors and friends love getting together to talk, eat and listen to the music,” said Weiner, adding that “the 21st gatherings have continued on without missing a beat” even when he has been away for extended periods on work-related projects. In 2010, the band 21 Gessford Court officially became affiliated with the nearby Corner Store, a nonprofit arts center that regularly showcases the work of actors, playwrights, musicians, filmmakers, artists, poets and chefs (see www.cornerstorearts.org). Weiner serves on its board. But the band’s origins trace back much farther than that, to the late 1990’s when a group of neighbors who met walking their dogs in Lincoln Park and their musician friends on the Hill began gathering regularly around the living-room grand piano of original band member Gordon Tenney. Among Gordon’s earliest recruits were his old college buddy, Hill East resident Mark Johnson, a singer-songwriter and style guitarist; his nextdoor neighbor and former partner Audrey Taucher, a percussionist; and his former Hill yoga instructor Kamakshi Hart, a singer. Weiner and neighbor Brad Cooper soon joined in on drums and bass, respectively, and the group rotated their near-weekly jam sessions to include Cooper’s house and Weiner’s 21 Gessford Court residence, where they would typically spend their Sunday evenings sipping wine, playing jazz standards and soaking in the hot tub afterwards. The band quickly developed a local following and they soon found themselves getting booked for paying engagements, including weddings, gallery openings, parties, and, most notably, gigs at the former Park Café on Lincoln Park, The audience gathers on the stairs of the two-story where they performed July 4 performance space.

Ashabranner weekend 2002 under the sponsorship of the restaurant’s owner Alcione Vinet, and engaged in a lively jam session that formed the basis of their “21 Gessford Court: Live at the Park Café CD.” Back then, Weiner never had any intention of his home becoming a regular performance venue, although he had always wanted to “create a salon-like setting, where such gatherings could Neighbors chat during a break in the music.

HillRag \| October 2013 H 81 take place.” Following a home expansion and remodeling, he was intrigued by the idea of providing a walk-in venue to any neighbors or friends who wanted to join him in on Sunday evening jam sessions. But the initial momentum of the original band was cut short, first by the departure of Taucher, then Tenney, for a year-long round-the-world trek, and relocations by Cooper and Hart. Weiner was spending much of his time working in Africa, and the band, at least in its first iteration, went mostly dormant. 21 @ 21 Re-emerges David Weiner.

Ashabranner 82 H hillrag.com Fast forward to 2013: The three original members – Weiner, Tenney and Johnson – still remain and have since been joined by other musicians in the neighborhood, several of whom have become regulars while others rotate in and out, depending on their schedules. Among those who regularly jam with the band these days are Ann Eilers (vocalist) bass Cecil Conley (bass), Jeff Clair (guitar), Carl Lacey (percussion), Charles Whalen (trumpet), Jan Zastrow (vocalist) ,and Weiner’s lifelong friend Roberto Hoffman (selfdescribed “jack-of-all-musical-trades” who regularly fills in wherever needed on bass and keyboard). Most of the current players also have formally studied music and several play or have played professionally. For example, one frequent guest player has been well-known pianist, composer and arranger Peggy Stern, who recently moved to Austin, Texas, but who will be back in DC performing at the Corner Store on Oct. 18. Stern, who has performed professionally worldwide, and most recently in Washington at Blues Alley, first learned of the 21 Gessford Court jam sessions while walking her dog in Lincoln Park. Another player who discovered the band serendipitously is Wayne Estrada, an accomplished jazz and lead trumpet and flugelhorn player, who stopped to chat with saxophonist Karlton Sloane after hearing live music as he was walking by. And it wasn’t long before Wayne and his wife, Jeannie, a former professional singer, and many others in the neighborhood, were regulars who attended just for the sheer joy of engaging in their passion. At times even entire bands, such as the neighborhood’s Native Makers, featuring New York Times Deputy Bureau Chief Carl Hulse on the drums, and Johnson’s and Tenney’s longtime pal Pat Burns, on bass, among other players, have joined in. “We do this as a lark; it’s all for fun, with a very open, fluid group dynamic,” said Weiner. “I’m not a very good musician,” he added, “but I get a chance to play with some really good, first-rate musicians.

Photo: Andrew Lightman. w a h S e n e c S g n ini D t s e w e DC’s N by Jonathan Bardzik E arlier this month, my husband, Jason, sent me an email. “Our friend Kyle’s in town. We’re having dinner at 8:00. Can you choose somewhere?” Five minutes later, Alex Padro from Shaw Main Streets blasted “Baby Wale is open,” and I made a reservation. Starting with that night at Baby Wale, we’ve discovered that right under our noses, a decade of investment from business owners, Shaw Main Streets (www. shawmainstreets.org), developers and pioneering residents, has poised Shaw to explode as the city’s next dining destination. Fifteen new restaurants and bars --from Burmese to a bakery, Thai to Turkish-- will be joining Ethiopian and American bistros, along with the O Street Market, the largest Giant Food store in the city and likely one of the most distinctive supermarkets in the country. Corduroy Chef Tom Powers Opens Baby Wale Baby Wale (1124 9th Street NW) is a casual new restaurant and clever play on words from Chef Tom Power, whose acclaimed Corduroy (1122 9th Street NW), is located next door. Built in a formerly roofless shell of a building, Baby Wale’s skylit ceilings and an upside down tree cum chandelier are as successful as the delicious and budget-friendly menu. Kyle and Jason ate like pros, allowing us to taste two-thirds of the menu. Silky and smooth, the Northern Neck Corn Soup is blended with lobster stock, and drizzled with Thai basil oil. A brilliant flavor pairing, you can’t tell whether the 84 H hillrag.com The biergarten space at Dacha. Photo: Andrew Lightman. sweetness and light fresh flavor comes from the delicate starches of fresh corn, or the light sea-saltiness of lobster. Rich and lightly-crusted, duck pupusas were amazing (though I wouldn’t mind an extra splash of vinegar on the slaw that accompanies it). Each bite of the oversized, Filipino Style Spring Rolls, or lumpia, was perfectly crisp and lightly fatty with a balancing bite from the sweet-sour dipping sauce. The inspiration for the dish came from a friend of Tom’s who taught him how to hand-roll them. Drinking in the Biergarten at Dacha The next day I saw a Facebook post from our friends Fernando and Will. “Drinking outdoors at Dacha!” Seeing the same post three more times that week, surprised us with their newfound loyalty, if not their drinking schedule (just kidding boys!). We checked it out. Dacha (1600 7th St. NW) set in a formerly parking lot, has authentic German biergarten tables, great landscaping, and a soon-to-be-unveiled, three-story-tall mural of Elizabeth Taylor. Jason is really the beer drinker in our home, but owners Ilya Alter and Dmitri Chekaldin converted me, though I’m not sure whether it was the high quality or higher alcohol percentage of their carefully curated list of draft German and Belgian beers. On our first visit (yes, we’ve been back already), I started light and crisp, with a Weihenstephaner Pilsner, which is currently only available on tap, in Thally’s Celery Root Panna Cotta. Photo: Andrew Lightman. The Madrid sandwich at SUNdeVICH / A&D Bar. Photo: Andrew Lightman. Washington, DC at Dacha. On our second, a cooler night, we drank the recently tapped Octoberfestbier. When you think you’ve had your fill, Ilya and Dmitri will ply you with a small glass of Kölsch - it’s light and easy, and the perfect cap to your night. Eating SUNdeVICH at A&D Bar After a busy month, with this article nearing deadline, Jason and I hit two Shaw hot spots only to find them both closed on Mondays. As we stood on the sidewalk, poking at our iPhones looking for something to eat, Jason turned around and said, “Why don’t we just go here?” We pulled up to the bar at A&D (1314 9th St. NW), ordered a couple of drinks, and quickly discovered that the cool list of snacks would not make a meal. Our bartender, Lisa, told us that SUNdeVICH, the foodtruck and popular back alley sandwich shop, occupied the same building, and A&D owner Ali Bagheri is more than happy when his patrons grab a sandwich to enjoy at the bar. It made Jason and I pretty happy too. I pegged Jason for the Havana, a Cuban with Gruyere cheese. But he ordered Madrid, with rich and spicy chorizo, beautifully balanced by a bright, fresh chimichurri. Jason guessed the Moscow, filled with a chicken, egg, potato and pickle salad, for me. I settled on the Istanbul with a super-sized, tender patty of beef and lamb, paired with tart sumac seasoned onions, mellowed by a creamy tzatziki. Mockingbird Hill Wants You to Drink More Sherry The night after our visit to A&D Bar, I ventured out with friends to finish my tour of Shaw. We kicked off the night at Mockingbird Hill (1843 7th St. NW), a sherry and ham bar. “It’s a grandma drink,” my friends said. Owner Derek Brown’s selection of more than 60 bottles tells a very different story about this Spanish, fortified wine. A little overwhelmed by the list, my friend Nancy and I tucked into a flight of three wines inspired by the ocean. The three glasses painted a spectrum from nearly clear to a rich, dark caramel. The first pour was pale, light and dry Fino. The middle pour, an Amontillado, was golden, with flavors of caramel and a hint of salt. The Amoroso, our third glass, was bold and rich. Needing some food to balance our light buzz from the sherry, we ordered potted pork, rich with fat and balanced by both pickled beets and lightly-dressed, sharp kale. Our second plate featured Firefly Farms’ aged Cabra La Mancha goat cheese. It was mild and creamy, drizzled with honey and sprinkled with coffee grounds. Mockingbird Hill’s delightful flavor combination complemented and illuminated every flavor note in the Hidalgo Napolean Amontillado. It was a perfect pairing, and a perfect way to prepare our palates for our next stop at Thally. Thally: Save Room for Dessert I have never began a review with dessert, but one bite of Thally’s (1316 9th St. Ocean flight of Sherry three distinct color tones at Mockingbird Hill. Photo: Andrew Lightman NW) celery root panna cotta changed that. The elegantly smooth custard, under a thin layer of gelée challenged everything I knew about celery root. Celery root is sharp and earthy, but Chef Ron Tanaka has brought forth sweet herbal notes that taste of fennel and green tea. My entrée was another first. I ordered the vegetarian plate of earthy swiss chard and rich, creamy tarbais beans topped with roasted fennel. It helped that my four friends allowed me to taste the duck breast in olive sauce with sunchokes, a Delmonico dusted with coffee, rockfish, and branzino. I would gladly pass up the meat (well, maybe not that duck breast) to order the swiss chard again. The flavors were as well developed as the other entrées on the menu, all of which were delicious. The meal started with crab roulettes - crisp pastry cigars filled with Peekytoe. Recently popular, Peekytoe is a cold water crab, traditionally thrown back from the lobster traps whose bait they would eat. Light and mild, the meat is seasoned with a spicy Old Bay that is complex and hot without overpowering the delicate crab. Just Getting Started With the long slate of openings, we’ll be back to Shaw frequently. Besides, Jason wants to make sure Dacha’s beer stays nice and cold for you. He’s really considerate like that.

H HillRag \| October 2013 H 85 ARTS, DINING & ENTERTAINMENT SPECIAL by Celeste McCall I t’s been a busy fall in the Atlas District, as H St. NE welcomes RedRocks. Located at 1348 H St. NE, the latest offshoot of Doug Baj’s local group measures 6,800 square feet, the largest restaurant/bar in the neighborhood. Three dramatically designed floors have as many bars, a 100-seat private dining area, two 900-degree wood-burning ovens and a (retractable) roof deck. Craft beer and cider flow from the bar’s 20 tap lines, and special spouts dispense wine and surprisingly good prosecco, First time we’ve tasted bubbly on tap. Accompanying the libations are Chef Angel Mendoza’s puffy-crusted Neopolitan-style pizzas, an antipasti selection, pastas, grilled shrimp and even wood-fired suckling pig. Weekend brunch offers breakfast pizzas, including a “hangover” version. While I did not suffer from that malady, I enjoyed the 11-inch pie (big enough for two), heaped with sausage, potatoes, fresh-tasting mozzarella and crowned with a sunnyside-up egg. Peter’s RedRocks hash was replete with bacon, potatoes, caramelized onions and an egg, showered with a green cascade of crisp arugula. Purchased by Evolve Property Group, the RedRocks building has been vacant since the 1968 riots. RedRocks is open weekdays from 11 a.m. to 10 p.m.; FridaysSaturdays 11 to 11. Call 202-621-7300. Other RedRocks are in Columbia Heights, Old Town and South Arlington. Purple Reign Da Luft, 1242 H Street NE, also arrived last month. You can’t miss the purple façade. Since we missed the Sept. 21 opening bash, we decided on dinner the following Tuesday. The sleek black and white décor has a glittering chandelier by the entrance and handsome bars on both floors. Hostess/operations manager Tobi Solaja ushered us upstairs, which we sat at cocktail tables. Da Luft (luft is German for “air”) is primarily a night club. The tables were too high for comfortable dining, so we moved to the bar with its ever-changing lights. Chef Ernest Todd’s menu offers shrimp hushpuppies, shrimp- and-grits, blackened salmon and the like. Good club grub. We shared a colorful house salad, a confetti of mesclun greens, tiny sliced cherry tomatoes, cukes and tangerine segments. Then Peter went for the fried catfish basket, while I opted for a trio of turkey sliders. Our light dinner came to $36 before tip. Da Luft is open Tuesday-Thursday from 4 p.m. to midnight; FridaySaturday ‘til 3 a.m.; Sunday noon to midnight. Closed Monday.

Why not? So we popped into the Queen Vic British Pub. As I squeezed a lime wedge into my Bombay Sapphire gin, I requested a cocktail napkin. Turns out the very “green” Queen Vic eschews paper, so instead, proprietor/ bartender Ryan Gordon brought me a nice black cloth napkin. We noticed weird menu prices: $7.27 for Mediterranean roast chicken; $14.55 for lamb rogan josh; $7.27 for a glass of prosecco. “I hate coins,” Gordon explained. “I hate hauling them to the bank. So I do the math and since DC tax is 10 percent, it always comes out even.” (Da Luft’s menu lists prices the same way. Is this a trend?)

Assisting Lacoste in her enterprise will be Allison Cortese, Ris’ dining room manager. RIS at Union Market will operate during regular market hours, Wednesday through Sunday. Piano Bar Facelift Be sure to check out the renovated piano bar at Banana Café, Jorge Zamorano’s lively Mexican/Cuban/Puerto Rican hot spot at 500 Eighth St. SE. The extensive upstairs facelift involves new flooring, cabinets and a refurbished bar. As before, there’s live piano music and karaoke; happy hour specials, start at 4 p.m. The piano bar features tapas and other light victuals, with a full menu downstairs. Now 21 years old, Banana Café is open daily—‘til late Fridays and Saturdays. Call 202-543-5906 or www.bananacafedc.com. South American Flair We knew Del Campo, Victor Albisu’s Latino-inspired Chinatown restaurant--was a class act when the wine list arrived in a leather cover. For a leisurely midweek lunch, Peter and I were promptly seated at a pristine, white linen-covered table. (We could have opted for the asado bar overlooking the open-flame kitchen.) A plate of house-baked chapa appeared, the traditional Argentine bread accompanied by a smoky duo of olive oil and sea salt. We tucked into a pair of wagyu beef empanadas with romesco sauce, a tomato/ ground nut/garlic/olive oil concoction. My entrée was an appetizer of grilled octopus, artfully presented on a stark white rectangular plate flanked with pureed vegetables and tary plate of grilled corn slathered with spices and dusted with parmesan shavings. Too much food! The tab came to less than $50, but they forgot to include my $11 glass of Albanio Spanish wine. When we pointed out the error, our server said never mind, so we tipped her extra. Open daily (‘til late weekends), Del Campo is at 777 I St. NW. Call 202-2897377 or visit www.DelCampoDC.com.

The spice, tobacco, and pepper present in so many of their reds (and the racy touch of citrus and minerals in their whites) makes me warm all over, like the sweaters I just pulled out of my closet. As a wine consultant, I find Spain has the perfect balance between Old World structure and balance, and New World intensity and richness. And you can find an amazing wine at any price range. With France and Italy as the major players and exporters of wine in Europe, it is easy to overlook that Spain has been producing fantastic wines for about 3,000 years. Vines were introduced by the Romans, who hated going anywhere that vino was not, and cultivation was not stifled by the Islamic Mughal Empire. When France’s vines were struck with phylloxera in the 19thCentury, Spain helped to supply their thirsty French neighbors, and Rioja red became a nice substitute for Bordeaux. Sherry (fortified wines from Spain) and Port (from Portugal) were first created when the British and Dutch added brandy to wines they exported from the region to make them last the trip home. When the wine market was oversaturated in the 1970s, Spanish wines, like Italy’s Chiantis, gained a reputation of being cheap juice. Spanish wine culture has since reinvented itself and today’s wines, from regions all over Spain, can be incredible. When shopping for Spanish wine, where do you start? One way to ensure you make the right decision on your next Spanish wine purchase is to learn the vocabulary. For all wines in Spain, there are specific legal labels put on reds and whites that have been aged and oaked: Crianza, Reserva, and Gran Reserva. Crianza red wines are aged for two years with a minimum of six months in oak. Crianza whites and rosés must be aged for at least one year with six months in oak. Reserva red wines are aged for at least three years with a minimum of one year in oak; whites must be aged for two years with at least six months in oak. Gran Reserva wines are sourced from better vintages with the red wines requiring at least five years aging, 18 months in oak and 36 months in the bottle; whites must be aged for at least four years with six months in oak. Spanish wine will often be labeled for the region. All wine lovers can find a style they enjoy in Spain, but the most popular come from La Rioja, Castilla y Leon, and the warm regions along the Mediterranean Coast. The main grape in Spain, and in Rioja in particular, is Tempranillo, but there is also Garnacha (Grenache), Syrah, Carinena (Carignan), Monastrell (Mourvedre), Cabernet Sauvignon, and Merlot, just to name a few. La Rioja is itself divided into Rioja Alta, Rioja Baja, and Rioja Alavesa. Alavesa’s chalky soils and high elevation lead to perfumed wines that require age to show off their best qualities. The Alta and Baja both have iron-rich limestone soil that create beautiful wines, though Baja and its lower elevation can sometimes be too hot to produce great grapes. A traditional Rioja is a blend of grapes from all three regions. The acreage of Rioja is generally dedicated to Tempranillo, with small amounts of Garnacha and local grapes Mazuelo and Graziano. Castilla y Leon lies along the banks of the Duero River, with high eleva88 H hillrag.com tions that make it home to several incredible wine regions, including Ribera del Duero, Rueda, and Toro. The region’s long cool growing seasons preserve acidity, but vintages can be ruined if it’s so cold that the grapes don’t ripen fully. Ribera del Duero is planted to 90% Tempranillo, but Cabernet, Merlot, and Malbec are also grown in small amounts and are often added to the blend. Vega Sicilia, one of the premier houses in Spain, has been making world-renowned wines in Ribera del Duero for 150 years, and introduced the Bordeaux-style grapes to the region. Rueda focuses on whites, and sometimes oaks its high-acid Verdejos, Viuras, and Sauvignon Blancs. Toro is a flatter with a gentler terroir than Ribera del Duero but still creates bold and rich reds, often with century old vines; they represent amazing values. Along the coast of the Mediterranean Sea, the warm weather promotes rich, smoky reds, crisp Cavas, and dry whites. Jumilla and Montsant have mastered the Rhone-style grapes of Garnacha, Carinena, and Monastrell, despite the warmer climate and often sandy soil. Priorat’s Garnacha and Carinena blends are big and warm, with a distinct mineral quality, due to the granite and slate soil, and alcohol levels legally required to be over 13.75%.

Natascia Diaz as Mariana and Kurt Rhoads as The Duke in the Shakespeare Theatre Company production of Measure for Measure, directed by Jonathan Munby. 2. Scott Parkinson as Angelo and Miriam Silverman as Isabella in the Shakespeare Theatre Company production of Measure for Measure, directed by Jonathan Munby. 3.

Lewis Feemster, Jacqui Jarrold and Amber Mayberry in the Shakespeare Theatre Company production of Measure for Measure, directed by Jonathan Munby. Photo:Scott Suchman 90 H hillrag.com virginity. So director Jonathan Munby’s exuberant—even delightful—rendering is all the more satisfying. Infusing this production with color, music and bawdy wit, he brings the play’s texture to light. Measure for Measure is often called a “problem” play, mainly for its challenging blend of comedy and tragedy. Too often the real problem isn’t that comedy and tragedy can’t coexist in a play—as they always do in life—but rather that a dreary story centered on an almost abstract moral dilemma either smothers the humor or feels entirely disconnected from it. Not so in Munby’s hands. Even the darkest moments of the play have a glimmer of wit, while the comedy floats over more serious undercurrents. Here’s the deal: The Duke of Vienna calls on Angelo, a pillar of righteousness so cold that his urine is said to be “congealed ice,” to clean up Vienna, a city that’s suffered 14 years of moral decay. Angelo’s first order of business is to make an example of Claudio, a young gentleman who has committed fornication with his now very pregnant betrothed, by condemning him to death. Enter Claudio’s sister Isabella in a crisp nun’s habit, who begs Angelo for Claudio’s life, only to become ensnared by his despicable proposition: Angelo promises to spare Claudio if Isabella will “yield up her body” to his will. It’s no small feat to make this situation not just interesting but relevant to an audience. Munby begins by seeking the context that, as he says, will “release” the play. He finds it in 1930s Vienna— a party town in deep decline that eventually gave way to Fascism, an equal and opposite reaction to unbridled licentiousness. Then he goes one better. Instead of a simple overlay of costumes and sets to conjure a modern period that itself really is a distant memory, he opens the play with a 20-minute jazz-era cabaret that leaves no doubt Vienna is a tad out of control. It’s the cabaret that necessitates, in an abundance of caution, a rare warning for the theatre: “Recommended for ages 18 and above but may be suitable for mature audiences, 16 and above.” Any kid who’s watched the MTV Awards and can define “twerk” wouldn’t bat an eye at the scene, but I confess to an occasional blush and perusing my program to avert my eyes. And just as in Shakespeare’s time and the 1930s, today such sexual expression can fuel a fervent conservative backlash. In this brilliant stroke, Munby literally sets the stage in a thoroughly entertaining way, making perfect sense of the Duke’s unusual decision to put Vienna in the hands of the puritanical Angelo. Presumably he believes only a man beyond reproach and temptation can reverse this city’s moral decline—and in subtle ways, Munby makes clear the Duke himself is not that man. Enter Scott Parkinson as Angelo, the picture of self-restraint who from the start looks like his stiff demeanor is ready to crack. He’s almost immediately thrown off his unrelenting quest to rigidly enforce the law by an overwhelming desire for Isabella, expressed not in wooing but in Parkinson’s perfectly pitched bursts of rage and awkward attempts at sexual assault. The situation is all the more creepy because Angelo is not so much smitten as consumed with the urge to defile a paragon of his own ideals. He actually wonders if his lust could be Isabella’s fault, not his, and then concludes: Most dangerous Is that temptation that doth goad us on To sin in loving virtue; never could the strumpet, With all her double vigour, art and nature, Once stir my temper; but this virtuous maid Subdues me quite. Ever till now When men were fond, I smiled and wondered how. As Isabella, Miriam Silverman exudes the purity and intellect that enthrall her tormentor. Through each of their emotional and occasionally violent encounters, she holds her own, as if anchored by an unshakable faith that won’t let her give in to despair. While Parkinson’s brittle Angelo and Silverman’s stalwart Isabella grapple with their moral dilemmas, other characters navi- gate ethics in pragmatic and expedient ways, weaving the cabaret’s laissez-faire mentality—and a culture accustomed to bending and outright breaking the rules—through the play. As Lucio, Claudio’s friend and advocate, Cameron Folmar does it best. He deftly sports a casual disregard for morals and the truth, with a verbal and physical delivery that milks the last drop of humor from every line he speaks. Even when he’s being condemned to be whipped and hanged, he manages to draw appreciative guffaws. Other characters too see and operate under moral shades of grey—divining convenient loopholes in the rules to forgive crimes and sexual transgressions in often laughable ways. In the midst of tense discussion with Isabella of Angelo’s unthinkable proposition, Avery Clark’s Claudio sheepishly suggests that sleeping with Angelo might not be so bad: “Sure it is no sin, or of the deadly seven it is the least.” Pompey the pimp, played by the amiable and endearing Chris Genebach, faces a life of imprisonment for being “a notorious bawd” until he accepts the more socially acceptable executioner’s job from the provost, who says, “Come hither, sirrah. Can you cut off a man’s head?” Throughout the play, Alexander Dodge’s sets and the lighting by Philip S. Rosenberg evoke garish stages, somber chapels, crumbling streets and chilling cellblocks. They vividly showcase this world of illicit sex, first taking center stage under a red velvet curtain and then relegated to the fringes. This vibrant set gives way to the social repression signified by a clever construct of prison bars, seamlessly moving across the stage. By turns it entraps and releases various characters as the foundation of rules and laws breaks down—and shifts the audience’s perspective from looking out from behind the bars to looking in from outside. The Duke watches all of this play out in the guise of a friar who observes and occasionally intercedes just enough to avert disaster or death. (Of course! This is Shakespeare, after all.) In Kurt Rhoads’ calm and thoughtful portrayal, we can almost forgive the Duke for leaving most of the cast of characters in dire straits so he can discover just how low Angelo will sink and how high everyone else—especially Isabella—will rise. Once he finds out, the experiment in social austerity can end, and love and forgiveness prevail. Barbara Wells is a writer and editor for Reingold, a social marketing communications firm.

One perfect example has Wadjda’s mother preparing a massive meat-and-rice dish in her kitchen.

Not only is “Wadjda” the first full-length feature filmed in Saudi Arabia, it was written and directed by a woman, Haifaa al Mansour, who has created a singular breakthrough. She had made short films before (none of them aired publicly) but was able to produce this effort with the help of German funding and a complete German crew. Still, the vision is all hers. And it wasn’t always an easy task. Al Mansour, in an interview, noted that there is no film infrastructure to support filmmakers (much less women filmmakers) and that open casting calls do not exist. She also remarked that she “occasionally had to run and hide in the production van (in some areas) where people would have disapproved of a woman director mixing professionally with all those men.” She later admitted that while she might be a polarizing figure in the Kingdom, “it is definitely not my intention to offend anyone.” To these Western eyes, she hardly offends; she inspires. Rush And now, as the Monty Pythons would say, “For something completely different.” Director Ron Howard’s “Rush” is a pulse-pounding narrative about what is perhaps the greatest season in Formula One auto racing: the year-long showdown in 1976 between the Austrian champion Niki Lauda (Daniel Brühl) and the British contender James Hunt (Chris Hemsworth). It was a thrilling contest contended by two men who could hardly be more different and We Invite You To Join Us Chris Hemsworth (left) as James Hunt and Daniel Brühl as Niki Lauda in “Rush,” Photo: Jaap Buitendijk, copyright © 2013 Universal Studios. whose natures are well captured by Howard and company (now in cinemas, the film is rated “R” and runs 123 min.). Both the earnest Lauda and the playboy Hunt come from wealth and want to break away from their families’ traditions of business (Lauda) and well-heeled aristocracy (Hunt) to race fast cars. Otherwise, they have nothing in common. Lauda’s attraction to vehicles is coolly technical and hands-on—he’s drawn by the essence of machinery. Even in his scary business, he doesn’t want to take risks. Hunt’s attraction to racing is openly intuitive and adrenalin-laced—he’s hooked on winning and heedless in his car. Lauda is appropriately contained, a bit shriveled; colleagues say he looks rat-like. Hunt is a prototype playboy, a long-haired Adonis with a yen for the ladies, the bottle, and the cusp of danger. The core of the film is a tracing of the dramatic 1976 season in which Lauda takes a commanding points lead, only to suffer a horrendous crash at the German Grand Prix then pull off an amazing physical recovery to come back to compete in the chase. Hunt, in the meantime, gains steadily on Lauda in the points race, and the gripping finale comes down to a rain-troubled race in the Grand Prix of Japan. Howard has cast his leads well. Both Brühl and Hemsworth personify the two contrasting types in manner and language, and they both look strikingly like the real drivers (whom we see in some clips at the end). The smart script, by British screenwriter Peter Morgan (“Frost/Nixon,” “The Queen,”), gives each character equal time with equal weight to their outlooks and arguments. Did I mention it was pulse-pounding? Whether you know or care anything about auto racing, you can still be thrilled by the ample footage (shot by Anthony Dod Mantle) of the races themselves, where close-ups of pistons popping and brakes slamming mingle excitingly with track zooms and turns that leave you dizzy, and, given the volume, make your head hurt. Whether you like it or not, you can admire an editing job that truly tucks you in the driver’s seat. Ron Howard is both a popular and honored director, principally for films that are distinctly American (from “Parenthood” to “Frost/Nixon”) but here he opts for a more clearly European aesthetic. The subject matter (a profoundly European sport), the overseas shooting locations, and the casting (only one significant American actor) combine to give a different flavor to “Rush.” Howard has done Europe before (“The Da Vinci Code,” “Angels and Demons”) but never this effectively and formidably.

H Bistro Italiano Casual Italian Dining 320 D St. NE • 202.546.4522 DC Documentary Debuts A new documentary personalizing the effects of urban gentrification in our own neighborhood will have a free premiere on October 10 at the Atlas Performing Arts Theater. “Fate of a Salesman” traces the last days of Men’s Fashion Center, a menswear staple of the H Street corridor in Northeast for 60 years before it closed in 2012. The store’s demise, victim of a tough economy and a changing neighborhood, is told in a sweet yet poignant half-hour film produced by husband and wife team Tessa Moran and Ben Crosbie. The store’s character is revealed through the voices of its dapper longtime manager, Willie Carswell, its teddy bear salesmen Steve, and its owner Jerry Goldking, the latter the son of the founder who opened the store in 1952. Moran and Crosbie have run the DC-based production company Eidolon Films for ten years and this is their most fully realized project in the city. Their film will receive its free premiere on October 10, 2013 at 7 p.m. at the Atlas Performing Arts Center on H Street, NE.

It’s not just in the force and movement of his personal style. He sees the little things that make Washington “DC”: the low human-scale skyline, the crazy traffic, the tourists, government workers, the give and take of freedom and restrictions. It’s that fusion of people from all over the world, and from right here. You can almost hear the languages. But what makes his work so genuine is the buildings. They not only have their unique identity, they have structural integrity. These are the places you know—where you live. “Energy” is the only way Richard Fitzhugh can paint. He walks the street, any street, and when the starting point of the painting hits his eye, that is where he starts. The watercolors come out and the painting follows his hand—free and loose. You can feel his joy in painting and his love for the city. Richard grew up in DC and graduated from Howard University. He has lived and painted in so many places—from concrete jungles of Manhattan, the mountains of West Virginia, coastal Maine, the green jungles of Guyana , to the Greek islands—that his eye finds the truth in wherever he paints. He came back to DC in 1995 and has been dedicated to painting his town. Art and design has been central in his life since his early years. He has worked much of his life in architectural rendering, and first turned to watercolor painting 1984. He has displayed and sold his work through galleries wherever he lived. You can share his energy through November at the Zenith Gallery show at the Washington DC Economic Partnership building (see at the galleries).

People milled about in Pendragwn’s modern office, chatting and grabbing a drink and food in the workspace of the local film and video company. We were not there to watch a movie, however. We were guests at the first Idea Bar. My invitation came through an email tagged “a fun way to wrap up the summer.” My neighbor Michael Skinner announced the Idea Bar, an event he and his friend Scott Kratz were organizing. More than 30 people gathered together to hear three professionals from very diverse fields of study talk about their passions – sharks, regenerative medicine and the Washington Monument. The Pendragwn studio was a perfect fit for the Idea Bar. Ambient white lights, a black ceiling and a unique configuration of office space with a balcony that gave presenters a prominent perch from which they could be seen by all. I ran into an old friend and a former neighbor who I caught up with before the event started and met several new people – connections that Michael had hoped to spur through this event. “We wanted to invite our own friends, but we also felt like this kind of thing might attract people that we didn’t know and that somehow getting them to come too would make it a richer evening. We were stunned with the response.” About a third of the people who attended didn’t know either of the creators. “They came solely based on the description on the Eat Feastly site (the sign up site).” Each speaker presented a slide show that accompanied their 15 minute talk and fielded several questions after the presentation. Washington Post journalist and author Juliet Eilperin shared photos of her world travels seeking information and interviews for her recently published book, Demon Fish: Exploring our Shark Obsession, and What it Means for the Sea. Her talk gave me an entirely different perspective on these ancient creatures. Dr. Victor Ibrahim, an orthopedist who is opening a Capitol Hill office, spoke about recent advances in medical research that are enabling doctors to help our bodies heal from dramatic injuries that include torn tendons, damaged nerves and muscles, degenerative disks and spinal injuries. Two women in the audience had been treated by Dr. Ibrahim and successfully healed their injuries with regenerative medical techniques. G. Martin Moeller, Jr.’s illustrated talk traced the Washington Monument’s tumultuous history, the various alternative designs proposed, and the story behind the obelisk’s longdelayed completion. Michael Skinner, storytellerin-chief at Pendragwn and Scott Kratz, vice president for education at The National Building Museum, who both live on the Hill, dreamed up the event while sipping coffee and watching their dogs play at the Virginia Avenue dog park. Michael explained. “We each got interested “Washington could use more places like Zest” – Washingtonian magazine in the work the other was doing. During our talks we’d mention friends who were also doing interesting stuff. We realized that between the two of us we knew a lot of interesting people.” Michael used to host salonstyle evenings when he was in college at the University of Delaware. “Students would give a quick talk on something they were working on. It was really cool to hear someone talk about something they were passionate about and then get them to answer questions.” “We want to create a forum where folks who are passionate about their work can engage an audience with their ideas. We intentionally selected a variety of disciplines to be presented – science, medicine and history. Our goals were to spark curiosity and conversation about the world around us,” said Scott. “I think we were successful.” Attendance, discussion during the event and feedback afterwards proved him correct. Not only was there positive feedback (the presentations were succinct, informative and riveting) but also, according to Scott, each presenter engaged in a prolonged discussion about their respective topic via e-mail after the event. Michael said they will be hosting another Idea Bar this fall. The date and speakers are still in the works.

Simply Delicious “Simple Summer” may well be the first book I’ve reviewed that had cooking stains on it before I’d even finished it. If you’ve ever seen author Jonathan Bardzik’s Saturday demonstrations at Eastern Market, you’ll understand why. Making the most of farm-fresh produce, he has a knack for creating beautiful dishes that sparkle with invention but let the natural flavors of the vegetables shine through. In his new book, he maintains that tradition, supplementing his recipes with a warm and breezy narrative and bright, sunny photos that show off not only his creations but also a summery Eastern Market and his easy entertaining style. His cooking style is equally relaxed. He realizes that home cooks may not have all the ingredients on hand, so encourages creativity. “No one’s pantry has everything” he 98 H hillrag.com writes. “Go ahead and make a substitution.” He even offers ideas on how to throw together a tasty meal after a hard day’s work (hint: compound butters) and several tempting ways to use leftover bread. Bardzik’s recipes come with cooking tips, menu suggestions, and ideas for entertaining. And while “Simple Summer” focuses on the fresh bounty of that season, it also includes a section of fall recipes for such mouth-watering treats as pumpkin pancakes, butternut squash soup, and his mom’s mom’s apple crisp.

There are headless men (and headless horses), spectral sweethearts, Irish bullies who return from the grave to throw stones, and lost souls who shriek down abandoned slave tunnels. Krepp is well-versed in local history as well as the politics, trade and commerce, and social milieu of the eras he’s discussing, and is a great storyteller who, with a confident grasp of the facts and judiciously inserted asides, can bring to life both the haunters and the haunted.

And did the portly President Taft really get stuck in the White House bathtub? In a new book, “Urban Legends & Historic Lore of Washington, D.C.,” local author Robert Pohl discourses on — and debunks — many of the myths that have grown up around the nation’s capital. As a tour guide whose stock in trade is telling stories, he may be putting himself out of business, but as a historian, he can’t help but seek the truth. Using logic and a wealth of original sources, Pohl demolishes such myths as the zero-year presidential curse and the ‘rule’ that ties the Redskins’ victories to those of the incumbent party. “As long as you have enough events and can cast a wide enough net,” he explains, “you will find these coincidences.” Nor does he buy the legend of the keeper of the crypt, a U.S. Capitol employee whose sole function was to guard the flame burning above George Washington’s empty tomb. He carefully examines the ‘evidence’ and finds it sadly wanting. “It is a great story,” he concedes, “particularly for those who feel that the government’s budget has gotten out of hand” — but it is not true. Pohl realizes that, despite his best efforts, people will continue to believe what they want to believe—especially when it reinforces their expectations. But his book may just inspire you to raise a skeptical eyebrow next time somebody tries to tell you about the time Taft got stuck in the bathtub.

H HillRag \| October 2013 H 101 ARTS, DINING & ENTERTAINMENT SPECIAL Thoughts of A Jazz Lover Jazz can be enigmatic, an alchemy of mysterious sounds and moods that is spontaneous and yet deliberate in its free flowing creativity. The music can be complex, but good jazz feels as simple as first love—it goes straight to the heart and rests there, beating gently. Jazz strikes one as a beautiful music for everyone. And it is, especially for those of us who not only enjoy but truly love the music. You can walk in your door after a hard day’s work and a harrowing Metro ride, put on Sarah Vaughn and your world is transformed. Your mind clears, your body relaxes and suddenly life is pretty good. There’s no drug in the world that can do that. Jazz is beautiful music. Dreamweaver •••• George Duke, Concord Records A legendary keyboardist and pioneer in the jazz, funk and R&B genres, George Duke, who died on August 5 at the age of 67, has left us with a farewell album that encompasses all of his musical styles. Everything about Mr. Duke’s life and his music is captured in the appropriate title, Dreamweaver. A keyboard pioneer, singer, composer and producer in both jazz and popular mainstream musical genres, Mr. Duke first made a name for himself with the album The Jean-Luc Ponty Experience with the George Duke Trio. During his long career Mr. Duke gave us more than 30 solo albums, often collaborating with many other famous and successful musicians, most notably with Frank Zappa. All through the album, the music is first class. It’s almost as if Mr. Duke wrote his own eulogy, brought to life by music for celebration, dancing, romancing, lostand-found-love, memories of yester102 H hillrag.com day, and the breathtaking journey of jazz explorations. In experiencing the world between living and dreaming, Mr. Duke has erected his own ecclesiastical monument in the pantheon of our eternal world of music. On Dreamweaver the colorful flags blow in the winds of songs like “Stones of Orion,” “Trippin’,” “Ashtray,” “Missing You,” “Happy Trails,” and “Jazzmatazz.” Check it out and say hello to George Duke for me. And if you are lucky, you just might see his big, happy smile for sharing his music with your friends. Live2Love ••• Theresa Grayson, L2L Records Saxophonist Theresa Grayson’s Live2Love mesmerizes us with a spellbinding album for those nights when passion runs wild and wishing that particular lover is only your life’s story down memory lane. Live2Love reminds us that memories that celebrate the joys of love do tell the story of who we are, what makes us happy, and what’s next to come. The sweet and lovely sounds of her saxophone beckon and seduce us with songs of Aretha Franklin, John Legend, Sade, Hall & Oats, Bruno Mars, Maroon 5 and others. The album also showcases five soul-jazz originals, four of which were written by Ms. Grayson including “Afterthoughts,” an urbane track featuring soprano sax, scat-like vocalization and live instrumentation. This is a great follow-up for the Texas-born and Houston-raised musician whose 2010 debut album, It’s All About You, featured a rich endowment of inspirational instrumentals. Here Ms. Grayson alternates between expressive tenor and soprano sax, amplified by graceful flute flourishes. The frenetic pace on “Locked Out of Heaven” pours streams of flowing melody. “Sarah Smile” is a soulful tenor serenade. Her glowing but soothing lead and backing vocals surprise on “Smooth Operator.” She employs soprano on the lush ‘70s retro-themed “More Pressure.” “Tonight (Best You Ever Had)” soars upon a futuristic aural sound giving flight to the Ms. Grayson’s impassioned calls. “Moves Like Jagger” prances with a sense of urgency established by a driving beat. Lights dim for “Spend My Life” and “Close Your Eyes,” seductive urban adult contemporary grooves lit by Mr. Grayson’s sensual soprano. Desire permeates “Just A Little Time” while the longing continues on the classic slow jam “It Never Rains in Southern California,” which closes the collection. Tango Caliente ••• The Jay D’Amico Quintet Although the title of this album is Tango Caliente, the music heard here is pure and simple jazz for total peace and contemplation. The interplay between musicians is more fitting for classical ballet dancers on an open-air stage nestled in a garden-like park on a warm spring day. Other pieces take you to an outdoor café on a wide plaza watching a parade of beautiful dancers doing the milonga at the end of a soft, cool summer evening. Standouts include the title track “Tango Caliente,” “Etruscan Call,” “Maura’s Chant,” and “Balland in E Minor.” Best jazz performances include “Alfreda,” and “Song for Maria.” Performers are Jay D’Amico (piano), Paul Gill (bass), Tim Horner (drums), Andrew Sterman (sax and flute), and Richie Vitale (trumpet and flugelhorn). Eleven ••• Tommy Igoe & the Birdland Big Band Perhaps having 19 of New York’s finest musicians on this album was not enough. Too many performers with not enough space on many of the album’s standards left little room for enjoyable improvisations and cohesive collaborations. All this is even more strikingly evident when you compare many of the other compositions to those delightful highlights like “Moanin’, ” “Common Ground,” and “Open Invitation.” That the whole album was a challenge might best be summed up as “too many cooks in the kitchen.” Enjoy the opening track, “New Ground,” but stick to the highlights. Musicians of note include Tommy Igoe (drums), Tom Kennedy (bass), Rob Paparozzi (harmonica), Glen Drewes (trumpet), Nathan Childers (sax), and Rolando Morales-Matos (percussion).

There were a few years in elementary school when I wanted to own a horse ranch in the foothills of Colorado and write novels about animals. And there was a brief period in college when I felt defeated by calculus and didn’t think I could make the grades. But from a pretty early age, veterinarian was high on the list of things I wanted to be when I grew up. I by Heather McCurdy, DVM read James Herriot. I knew my path. What I didn’t know – I was eight after all – was all of the choices I would have after completing my degree. To become licensed to practice veterinary medicine, vet students must pass a national test called the North American Veterinary Licensing Examination, or NAVLE, taken during their fourth year. The NAVLE covers anatomy and diseases of food or “production” animals as well as companion animals. All vets need to pass this exam regardless of the species they plan to work with after they graduate. This means that I needed to learn how to diagnose mastitis in a dairy cow, and how to recognize and contain a pseudorabies outbreak in a grower pig operation. Not exactly pertinent knowledge to a small animal veterinarian practicing in Capitol Hill! After passing the NAVLE and completing four years of veterinary school, we are veterinarians. We can look for a position in a practice and begin our life as a doctor. But we can also pursue further clinical training or additional degrees to work in public health, research or academia. We can also seek to work for governmental organizations such as the USDA and FDA, and branches of the military. While not required, many veterinarians participate in a one year clinical internship upon graduation. After completing the internship, the vet can then pursue a residency to become board certified in a special area. There are currently 40 distinct specialties in both small and large animals, as well as zoo, shelter and lab animals. Most of these residencies last two to four years. At the end, the resident must pass comprehensive exams to become board certified in that specialty. After I graduated I chose to do an internship in small animal medicine and surgery at a private practice emergency and specialty referral hospital in Rochester, NY. There I worked one-onone with specialists in internal medicine, surgery, ophthalmology, dermatology, neurology, and cardiology. We interns also did a lot, and I mean a lot, of overnight emergency and urgent care. I then went into my professional career as a small animal veterinarian. While I have achieved a great deal of satisfaction as a general practitioner, I did need to come to terms with a number of things that surprised me once I HillRag \| October 2013 H 105 Acupuncture Wholistic health care for adults, children and teens. 320 G Street, NE • 202.544.9389 www.healingartscapitolhill.com Psychotherapy Ronda Bresnick Hauss Licensed Clinical Social Worker Supporting you in having a healthy & productive life.

For instance, a large part of my day is spent writing and record keeping. Writing the record can take longer than the animal’s exam! Another surprise was how much time I spend balancing medical care and finances. When I was a child my stuﬀed animal patients did not need me to find creative cost-eﬀective solutions for their hurt leg, or consider euthanasia for their achy stomach. I have to oﬀer diﬀerent medical plans and itemize costs, always trying to keep the wellbeing of the pet and the financial means and goals of the owners in mind. The last surprising, and most diﬃcult, aspect of medicine for me to accept, is how rarely we get a definitive diagnosis. In school we learn that X disease will present with symptoms A, B and C, and these are the tests you run to prove it. In reality, symptoms A, B and C can mean diseases X, Y, Z, XX, YY, ZZ, or idiopathic (which means we have no idea). We have suspicions. We learn to make a list of diﬀerentials, or “rule-outs,” and we make a list of tests to narrow them down. We treat things symptomatically, the animals get better, and we never know if we had the correct diagnosis. It is frustrating but that frustration is tempered by knowing we have done all we can for the animal. When I was ten I did not consider whether I wanted to be a board certified veterinary dentist or critical care specialist, or whether I was going to limit my practice to dogs and cats or horses, or pursue a PhD during my veterinary training so that I could go into research. After vet school, I considered specializing, and I spent time in emergency medicine, but in the end I came back to what appealed to me the most, and what coincidentally fell in line with my childhood aspirations-working with people and their pets in a small animal practice.

H HillRag \| October 2013 H 107 Well Nourished with Mollie Katzen A Generous Gift from the Heart of the Plate M by Annette Nielsen ost of us who cook and are of a certain age are familiar with the Moosewood cookbook – we might have used it for our first foray into vegetarian cooking. Selling between 20 and 30 thousand copies annually, the book will begin its 40th birthday celebration next September, when Ten Speed Press will issue an anniversary edition, including some of the original material from Katzen’s first self-published tome. “I wrote that cookbook for the parents of friends, the ones who had adopted a vegetarian lifestyle,” says Katzen humbly, “I never knew it would be so popular.” Now, with the publication of her twelfth cookbook, The Heart of the Plate, Katzen says, “I’m writing cookbooks for others – and as I don’t use recipes when I cook, I truly want to be of service – I am the coach in the kitchen.” Not concerned about being clever, she obsesses about getting it right and says, “It’s truly important to me that I’ve included enough information for a range of skill levels – as people are investing in the book, ingredients, and ultimately their time preparing the food.” In this book you’ll find some of the most well-tested, great-tasting and clearly written recipes, ones that will make you eager to get into the kitchen. She’s generous with her instructions, warm in tone, and oﬀers many ideas for substitutions or visual cues, whether a recipe for Autumn Vegetable Lasagna or Spinach-Mushroom Mac and Cheese (see recipe below). While her pitch is for plant-forward cooking and eating, Katzen doesn’t shun meat, “If a piece of steak or poultry lands on the plate, that’s fine. I’m not antimeat, I just really love vegetables. The term ‘vegetarian’ should really describe the food and not the individual.” Katzen says that it’s great to have passion for ideas and ideals, but we don’t need more labels that divide us. “My focus is not to have a main course with sides, it’s all about side-by-side dishes, and to celebrate a collaboration of ingredients.” On her recent book tour, Mollie Katzen visited Washington, DC. Here Katzen is with a copy of her latest cookbook, The Heart of the Plate. Photo by Annette Nielsen 108 H hillrag.com She feels that we’d have a healthier world if more people cooked at home instead of eating out, as then you can control what ingredients make their way into a dish. “It would be great if we could cultivate a culture of home cooks – where everyone could become literate in cooking, even if they learn how to make just a couple of dishes. Cooking also leads you to good home economics – it’s less expensive to cook and eat at home.” Katzen remembers that when she was only seven, she learned to prepare coﬀee in the percolator before her parents woke on weekend mornings, and by the time she was 10, she was responsible for making dinner on Tuesday nights. “It was a classic flank steak made from the London broil cut with mustard, frozen French-cut green beans, minute rice and a salad made with Russian dressing my mom had taught me how to make with mayonnaise and ketchup – I was the boss of that meal,” citing she’s never called herself a chef, but in this instance, where the translation of the word, ‘chef ’ is boss. “It’s human instinct to want to give back, and kids are honored to be invited into an adult realm. Their cooking is only marginally about eating the food themselves—what they really want is to feed you.” Katzen is a talented artist and musician, accomplished in painting and playing the piano – she even shot all of the photos and created the lovely illustrations for The Heart of the Plate (the title coming from a cafeteria station she designed with Walter Willett at the Harvard School of Public Health). From her years of cooking and the experience with Harvard, she states, “There is no firewall necessary between healthy and delicious.” Asked what she would most like to be remembered for, Katzen replied, “Nothing would make me happier than to know that I might have made people more comfortable in their kitchens and fluent in delicious plantbased cooking.” Invite Katzen into your kitchen with The Heart of the Plate – you’ll feel as if you’ve just made a new best friend. Spinach-Mushroom Mac and Cheese (adapted from The Heart of the Plate, by Mollie Katzen, 2013) Makes 5 or 6 servings A golden path to popularity, this is a great use for leftover flat beer. It can also be made with present-tense, still-perky beer – in the unlikely event that “leftover” means the other half of the one you’re drinking while you read this. • Diﬀerent beers can yield vastly diﬀerent flavors, and it’s fun to experiment with various light and dark varieties when making beer-cheese sauces, such as this one (which is a riﬀ on Welsh rarebit). Continuing the theme, plan to drink something that matches (chilled bottles from the same six-pack, perhaps?) with your dinner. • In a pinch, you can use a 10-ounce package of frozen chopped spinach instead of the fresh. Defrost thoroughly and squeeze as dry as possible ahead of time.

Photo by Annette Nielsen. 1 cup room-temperature beer (your choice) 1 pound fresh spinach, stemmed as necessary and chopped (4 packed cups) 1½ (packed) cups grated sharp white cheddar (6 ounces) ¾ cup fresh whole-wheat bread crumbs (see note)* ½ cup minced walnuts (optional) 1. Preheat the oven to 350°F, with a rack in the highest position that will fit your baking pan. Lightly spray a 2-quart baking dish or an 8-inch square pan with nonstick spray. 2. Put on a medium-large pot of water to boil. When the water boils, add the pasta and cook until just tender enough to bite into comfortably, then drain and transfer to a bowl. Toss with a little olive oil and set aside. 3. Heat the milk – ideally in a spouted measuring cup in a microwave – until it is steaming and too hot to touch, but not boiling Set the hot milk near the stove. 4. Place a medium-large saucepan over medium heat for about a minute, then add the oil and swirl to coat the pan. Toss in the butter, letting it melt into the oil. Add the mushrooms and ½ teaspoon of the salt and cook, stirring, over medium-low heat for 5 minutes. 5. Whisk in the garlic and mustard, then turn the heat to low and sprinkle in the flour, whisking constantly; it will quickly become a paste. Continue to whisk for another 15 seconds or so. 6. Keep the pan over low heat as you drizzle in the hot milk, whisking constantly. When the milk is incorporated, whisk in the beer. Turn up the heat to medium and stir constantly with a wooden spoon as you add the chopped spinach and the remaining ½ teaspoon salt. Cook for about 5 minutes, or until the spinach wilts its way into the sauce. Remove the pan from the heat and stir in both the cooked pasta and the cheese. 7. Taste for salt, add a touch more if you wish, then transfer the mixture to the baking pan. Top with the bread crumbs and walnuts, if desired, and bake uncovered for 15 to 20 minutes, or until bubbly around the edges and crisp and golden on top. (It might look loose on its way into the oven, but it will pull itself together by the time it comes out.) Serve hot. To make delicious, fresh whole-wheat bread crumbs, simply toast slices of your favorite whole-wheat bread until they are crisp, then break them into pieces and grind to the desired consistency in a food processor or blender. If you want to keep a nice stash in your freezer, spread the crumbs in a single layer on a baking sheet and freeze for about 20 minutes, then transfer to a heavy zip-style plastic bag. (This method helps prevent them from freezing into a solid clump.) Keep them frozen for optimal freshness, taking out just what you need. Two average slices of whole-wheat bread will usually yield a generous cup of crumbs. Optional Enhancements: At the end of many of her recipes, Katzen gives ideas for pairings using other recipes in the cookbook – here, she recommends side-by-side dishes like AppleParsley Saladita or Nectarine-Thyme Saladita, with a good first (or second) course in Citrusy Beets or Roasted Beets Surrounded by Mango. She also suggests serving the Spinach-Mushroom Mac and Cheese in a “vessel” such as a portobello. H The Best Time to Start Exercising is Now!

After Vashti makes her first dot, it opens her confidence to making more and more dots. Amanda Rogers, visual arts teacher at Langley Elementary, loves to use this story at the beginning of the year to encourage her art students to try new things and build their confidence. “All children need is a little confidence and a skill they can be proud of and they will be ready to take on the world!” says Rogers.

There are papers filled with oodles of tiny dots and papers filled with one large colored in dot and there is even dots strung together that make up new images.

The high school students also shared with others their experience of the national tragedy at a much younger age. Community service is an essential component of Friendship Public Charter School’s mission. Students are required to provide 120 hours of community service in each school year--20 more 124 H hillrag.com than the District mandates for its schools.

In the afternoon of the anniversary, Dr. Martin Luther King’s iconic “I Have a Dream” speech was aired. Following that the school rang freedom bells at 3 p.m. while students sang “We Shall Overcome.” The celebration demonstrated the school’s commitment to community service and its passion for teaching students about social justice. The Elsie Whitlow Stokes PCS is one of a limited number of bilingual immersion D.C. public charter schools. They require pre-K through sixth grade students to speak, read, write and think in two languages—French and English or Spanish and English. Besides the many early education benefits of this approach, the school, which has been categorized as a high-performing Tier One school by the city’s Public Charter School Board, intends its academic program to prepare students to be global citizens.

A few hours each week in September, students harvested produce, cleaned and chopped it, to create a popular pesto dip--all the while learning about the nutritional content of common snack foods. On September 11, Stuart-Hobson students got treated to a rock concert at the school performed by Air Force rock band Max Impact. The band invited kids with family members in the military to come up on stage to dance. SEM (School-wide Enrichment Model) Program Coordinator at the Cluster, Stuart-Hobson teacher Dowan McNair-Lee has won the Rubenstein Award for Highly Effective Teaching, one of DC’s top honors.

H Cluster School News The Capitol Hill Cluster School had many physical changes this year: Peabody Primary was renovated, and Stuart-Hobson Middle School’s renovation continues. Construction for the latter’s three-story museum magnet addition will begin this fall. The addition will house the school’s bands, choir, art room, and drama room. Watkins Elementary is also to be modernized after 2014. At Peabody, we welcomed Luke Hoffman as the campus’s first fulltime music teacher. In September, Peabody kindergarteners went apple picking at Butler’s Orchard in Maryland. Watkins students are politically engaged: Each class sent a representative to the school’s Constitutional Convention, bearing class rules. Each grade discussed the rules and from there will formulate schoolwide rules.

Unlike the old West Front, which was simply restored in the 1980s, the original East Front was covered over with a new extended front during 1958 to 1962. The effort to install a new east Front began, rather surprisingly, in 1902. Speaker of the House Joe Cannon suggested a new addition, a proposal that had the House members applauding him. Off and on for the next half-century, the idea popped up and was always batted down. Sometime in 1955, there was even talk of putting up a new Capitol building altogether. But by 1958, the idea finally began gaining traction, supported by many powerful members of Congress, including the thenSpeaker Sam Rayburn.

They also schedule a range of educational programming at their general meetings (open to the public) – on topics like how to care for plants and flowers, the art of Ikebana or how to photograph gardens. Carol Edwards, the CHGC president, has been a member for about five years. “Even before I owned a home, neighbors would suggest that I attend a meeting because I had an interest in gardening. Now, I’m particularly interested in encouraging people who are renting to join and in showing them how the garden club can be relevant to them.” Edwards notes that the garden club has had a substantial impact on Capitol Hill and beyond, “We’re a conduit for many of the hor- cause she wanted to learn more about gardening to improve her won home garden. Her personal projects include helping another club member in renovating and maintaining the extensive gardens around Peabody School (formerly the Peabody Early Childhood Center) and the establishment of a garden at 120 7th Street NE in front of a Verizon building. She notes that another club member established a garden in front of the Sherwood Recreation Center and that several members are assisting with Kim’s Garden at 8th and North Carolina, SE. Adam Pyle of the US Botanic Garden was recently invited to speak about specifics relating to planting bulbs at a meeting of the Capitol Hill Garden Club. He says, “We’ve definitely seen a larger trend toward urban gardening – and garden clubs can help to spread the word, sharing experiences and tips.” Edwards also has seen an increased interest in “green” topics in general, and part of that interest includes gardens. “If you walk around Capitol Hill, you’ll see many more people have included vegetables in with their flowers -- and almost all of the local schools have started gardens – and many of those gardens get assistance from Garden Club members (some being master gardeners).” Partners Anthony Pontorno and Joseph Purdy have lived on Capitol Hill for nearly 30 years, and Pontorno’s greatgrandmother and Purdy’s Capitol Hill Garden Club members host an annual greens Deck the Halls workshop, a member-only event.

Photo: Annette Nielsen. They both agree that one of their favorite meetings each year involves Hill residents showcasing their own gardens. With pictures and diagrams, they describe how they planned and built it, and now how they keep it looking great. New member Keats Webb, a digital imaging specialist who just joined the CHGC, says, “I was encouraged to join by my friend Marissa Zapata who has been a member for a couple of years.” Zapata is an enthusiastic supporter and states, “It’s a good place to be on a Tuesday night – the speakers are really good – from an orchid specialists to a person who gave great instruction on how to photograph plants.” Both Webb and Zapata plan to work on the CHGC annual bulb sale, helping out at Eastern Market over the next month. The bulb sale, and annual event fundraiser over 40 years, is also seen as a service to the community since the bulbs beautify spaces both private and public such as tree boxes. This year, the bulb sale will run through the end of October (as long as supplies last) from 8 a.m. 130 H hillrag.com to 5 p.m. each day at Eastern Market. Here, you’ll find many of tulips, daffodils, hyacinth, and crocuses – all to be planted during the fall, to bloom in the spring. In the future, Edwards would also like to see the garden club undertake a community service project in which all members could participate – she imagines a project that does not rely on strength – maybe some members can’t build a raised bed or hack invasive vines, but they can plant culinary herbs in a pot and deliver them to needy Capitol Hill seniors. Pyle remarks, “Garden clubs have the ability to really bring people together.” He’s noticed throughout the years that it’s hard to find anyone that doesn’t appreciate plants, “Gardens are therapeutic, and they’re wonderful in that they’re open to everyone.” The Capitol Hill Garden Club meets at 7:30 p.m., the second Tuesday of each month from September to May. The regular meetings are free and open to the public at Church of the Brethren, corner of 4th St SE and North Carolina Ave. Membership dues are $25 for individuals and $45 for a couple.

H HillRag \| October 2013 H 131 homesgardens I by Catherine Plume moved to the Hill in 1997, and one of the most striking changes in the neighborhood over the years is the huge increase in the number of families with children. As an environmentalist, I wanted to see what Hill families are doing to green their lives and reduce their carbon footprint. My search found some fun and innovative things that you might want to apply to your life – if you have kids, or not. First of all, a pat on the back for all of us Hill residents who are striving to green our lifestyles. Just by living in an urban area and in a smaller home than what’s found in the suburbs or rural areas, we’re already reducing our carbon footprint. And as the Hill is ever walkable, and with parking ever a challenge, on average we drive less than folks in a less populated area. But what green practices have families brought into their lives? Here’s what I found in my investigation: The “Half Dirty” Concept: Believing that we tend to wash things more than necessary, one of my friends has implemented the “half dirty” concept in her home. Cereal bowls used one morning are merely rinsed with water and then stored in a special space on the counter so they can be used again the Michael, one of the Monkey’s Uncle Owners outside the shop. Keya Chatterjee, author of “The Zero Footprint Baby”, and her family living green. 132 H hillrag.com next morning. After two uses, the bowl is destined to the dishwasher. She’s applied a similar concept to her kids’ clothes. There are special hooks in the bedroom for the “half-dirty” clothes. Again, after two wearings, off to the washer they go. This practice has cut their household water and electricity use, and reduced the use of the clothes dryer. Greener – and Safer Cleaning: Having kids – and especially toddlers has spurred more than one Hill resident to opt for greener cleaning solutions. While there’s now a bounty of green cleaning solutions on the market, many are finding that white vinegar and baking soda are very viable and nontoxic cleaning options (be careful mixing these two ingredients together though). One Hill parent created a kid accessible rag drawer with worn out clothes. As spills occurred, her kids learned at an early age to go to the rag drawer to clean up the mess. This practice decreased the use of paper towels and put worn out material to a further use. The rags are thrown in the washer and reused for the next spill. Game It: Other parents have made green living a game for their kids. A home energy monitor will document how much energy your home is consuming, and you can see energy consumption drop as various appliances and gadgets are unplugged. Other monitors will document energy consumption for a single device. Pepco also has an online function that allows you to monitor your energy use over time and compare it to other similar households. These tools provide plenty of options for games and competitions among friends – just make sure the refrigerator doesn’t stay unplugged for too long! There are online options, too, that encourage kids to adopt a recycling habit. Terracycle.com has brigades for hard to recycle items. You collect the goods (energy bar wrappers, scotch tape dispenser, etc.), send them in a no-cost mail pouch that Terracycle provides, and they’re upcycled into new products that are actually quite useful. Gardens: Household and community gardens can be found all over the Hill and provide kids with a great opportunity to get dirty while learning about urban and organic gardening and the importance of eating locally. Vermiculture (worms) and composting go hand in hand with urban gardening. Both need to be fed regularly and can significantly reduce household waste. DC has recently passed legislation allowing residents to raise bees, though rules on raising chickens remain unclear. Dining out: According to the BeStrawFree Campaign started by a 9 year-old, Americans use some 500 million straws daily. That’s a lot of plastic that is destined for landfills. Have your kids sign the pledge to go “strawless” and bring a reusable container Standard Cleaning Services Over15 years Serving Capitol Hill $20 OFF First Cleaning 50% OFF cleaning after 6 visits New Customers Daily Weekely * Biweekly * Monthly Quality Professional Cleaning Affordable Ratesw Pet and Family Friendly Residential & Commercial Locally Owned References Upon Request Bonded and Insured 703-719-9850 703-447-9254 standardcleaningservicesinc.com [email protected] HillRag \| October 2013 H 133 Setting a Higher Standard of Specializing in Urban City Dwellings Kitchen & Bath Remodeling \| Windows & Doors \| TAYLOR-REMODEL.COM \| 301.916.8840 Licensed.

Resources: Instead of buying new clothes, why not buy – and sell – gently used items. While there are online options for buying or selling clothes such as CraigsList, ThredUp and even Diapersswappers, check out Capitol Hill’s own Monkey’s Uncle at 321 7th St SE just down from Eastern Market. While I knew they had a good stock of infant clothes, their inventory includes clothes for newborns to teens, as well as maternity clothing. FreecycleDC is a great local resource for finding and passing reusable goods along while large plastic toys (as well as laundry baskets and lawn furniture) can be recycled with our curbside recycling. And finally, I must mention my friend, colleague and fellow carbon emissions fighter, Keya Chatterjee, who recently wrote The Zero Footprint Baby: How to Save the Planet While Raising a Healthy Baby. This is a great resource for the ecofriendly parent who is looking for carbon-friendly advice on everything from the baby shower to the minivan and the larger apartment or first house – and of course diapers. (Bottom line according to Keya “the carbon footprint of cloth diapers is not appreciably higher than that of a disposable diaper if you have to use a clothes dryer” ..but line drying works just fine! The book is available on Amazon in hard copy or download and not to be missed! And what about those diapers? There’s an online cloth diapering community in DC called DCCDers for parents using or considering cloth diapers for their babies. It’s a forum for sharing questions, tips, tricks, reviews, offers to trade, buy or sell diapers, or anything else about cloth diapering in the Washington DC area.

The blooms are spectacular, but last only days. And the following year, only a few come up again. I follow planting instructions to a T. Can you tell me why – and suggest alternatives? As you imply, there is really no substitute for a tulip. They come in so many shapes, heights and glorious colors. It is our DC summers that overwhelm the tulip – less the heat than the moisture, which rots their bulbs. Tulips need full sun and excellent drainage. Continue to plant tulips but choose ones that bloom in April, not May. And treat your tulips like annuals. Plant new bulbs every autumn. Our landscaper put a small bush near the foundation of our house. I have emailed a photo to see if you can identify it, as our landscaper is out of the country. This small bush is now 12 feet by 12 feet and looks stunning. However it has completely hidden our also-stunning Hibiscus, which used to be much taller than it. The Hibiscus is even closer to the house. What should I do? Put the Hibiscus in a pot and move it to some other sunny place.

There are some new super light garden hoses. See the article in the May 2013 Consumer Reports under flexible garden hoses. When not in use, they shrivel up and can be curled into a circle not much bigger than your fist. Whereas a traditional garden hose is heavy and difficult to wind around a hook or stand, a flexible hose is easy to maneuver. Then when you turn on the water – mirabile dictu – it swells up. After watering, the hose reverts to a small, fist-sized roll. They are reasonably priced -- online and in box stores.

C O NTA CT CAROLINA LOPEZ 202.543.8300 X12 thelastword Questioning CSX Project Is Not NIMBY! I’m lucky to represent a diverse, engaged community, who worked together with me and members of my commission to respond to the inaccuracies of the Virginia Avenue Tunnel Draft Environmental Impact Statement, as well as address safety, environmental, timeline, and construction concerns related to the project, which proposes to dig a massive trench along Virginia Avenue SE between the Navy Yard and Capitol Hill communities for up to five years. I am proud that four of seven ANC 6D commissioners came together to support a letter that asks questions and offers suggestions for how to move forward in ways that are respectful of the community’s thoughtful feedback. If it moves forward, CSX’s proposed project will impact the entire northern boundary of the Navy Yard neighborhood in mostly negative ways. On a neighborhood experience level, it will be more difficult for Capitol Hill residents to filter down to Yards and Canal Parks, and for Navy Yard residents to access Barracks Row, Garfield Park, and Eastern Market -- and it will hamper the Navy Yard neighborhood’s fledgling businesses from being able to attract outside customers. More seriously, it will put residents’ health and safety at risk. We still don’t have proper answers to such fundamental questions like “exactly how close will construction get to existing homes along Virginia Avenue and I Street SE,” “how will emergency vehicles access those homes,” and “why wasn’t a re-routing option considered for the period of construction so that trains are not running in an open trench mere feet from houses, senior apartments, and military quarters?” These are in no way “not in my backyard” concerns, but speak to the community’s desire to stay in our massively growing neighborhood, and to not have our safety, investments, and quality of life put at risk just to do so. ANC David Garber (SMD 6D07) \| dggarber@ gmail.com What About Derailments? The DC Department of Transportation and The Federal Highway Administration are considering whether to allow CSX to tear a literal gash in our community for up to 66 months so that CSX may widen and deepen the Virginia Avenue Tunnel. These agencies are not considering that CSX trains might not stay on their tracks. Accidents and terrorist attacks are nowhere addressed in the voluminous Draft Environmental Impact Statement. As our neighbors in Baltimore are all too aware, these risks are real. A CSX train derailed in Baltimore’s Howard Street Tunnel in 2001. From the Baltimore Sun: “For a week much downtown activity stopped. Three Orioles games at nearby Camden Yards were canceled. Freight rail traffic along the East Coast was paralyzed. Temperatures in the tunnel rose as high as 1,500 degrees as a witches’ brew of chemicals burned alongside paper and pulp products, and smoke poured from the openings.” (From “Ten years after Baltimore tunnel fire, much is unchanged,” 7/16/2011.) Thousands of people were exposed to that witches’ brew. The accident caused millions of dollars of damage to the city, its businesses, and residents. Derailments are not rare. There were 20 CSX derailments in Maryland alone, from January 2010 to August 2012, the Baltimore Sun reported. Google “CSX derailments.” You’ll find plenty more. Though some derailments are minor, we may not be so lucky. Here, trains could run on temporary tracks – at 40 mph! – only a few feet from major construction activity. And less than a mile from Congress, the Supreme Court, and other potential terrorist targets. CSX did not report the Howard Street Tunnel derailment in a timely way. Their communications with first responders were poor. I don’t have faith in their ability to properly handle a similar incident – whether caused by accident or malfeasance – in the nation’s capital. Or in my front yard. Maureen Cohen Harrington \| Virginia Avenue Resident \| [email protected] CSX Expansion Risks Neighborhood Toxic Spill In 2004, after a major rail accident in South Carolina killed eight people, DC passed a law that banned hazardous materials in the city. The law was challenged by the Bush administration and the rail industry, led by CSX, and was overturned on the Department of Justice’s assertion that rail safety is a Federal responsibility. Not only is CSX still transporting those materials but they are now proposing to increase the capacity of the same rails by more than two-fold. Less than a week after the tragic Lac-Megantic derailment in July that killed at least 42 people, CSX put forward their final preferred options for expanding the capacity of Virginia Avenue Tunnel. It’s important to note that this is a project that has no local benefits; the current tunnel is a bottleneck on the entire CSX East Coast route, and rather than connect their route largely on existing rail rights-of-way outside the city as proposed by The National Capitol Planning Commission, CSX has taken the position that expanding the tunnel and increasing the danger to our neighborhood, this iconic city, and the country is the only option they will consider. Increasing their capacity, either through or around Washington, DC, will allow them to increase their profits along the entire length of the line. Remarkably, given the city’s history of concern about rail safety, catastrophe prevention is absent from the criteria cited by CSX in their selection of preferred options. One may argue against the likelihood of a tragic incident like Lac-Megantic, but it is undeniable that Washington, DC is the highest-profile potential terrorist target in the world, and this puts our neighborhood at increased risk. The risk to the Capitol Hill and Capitol Riverfront neighborhoods posed by this proposed expansion more than justifies the inclusion of alternative routing options outside the city for full consideration for the expansion of rail capacity on the east coast. Anything less puts CSX’s drive to increase profits over the welfare of our neighborhood and our country. Chris French \| Capitol Riverfront Resident \| [email protected] Reroute The Trains During Construction The Virginia Avenue Tunnel (VAT) Project Draft Environmental Impact Statement (DEIS) presents three build alternatives that all require the construction of a second rail track – either temporary or permanent. The DEIS improperly and arbitrarily discarded the reasonable alternative of temporarily rerouting trains on existing tracks during VAT construction (previously known as Concept 7). Temporarily rerouting trains would eliminate the need for building a second rail track. This could significantly reduce the construction time period, footprint, and overall environmental impact of the project. Inaccurate and misleading statements in the DEIS coupled with failure to evaluate Concept 7 leaves me concerned that the DEIS is not thorough or impartial. On page 3-17, the DEIS states that “Although rerouting is common railroad practice under emergency conditions that are usually short in duration, negotiating a 2 plus-year operating agreement would be very difficult.” This is a misleading, uninformed and false statement. Based on history and track location, Norfolk Southern (NS) would be a likely partner in granting CSX trackage rights during construction in the VAT. The Surface Transportation Board has previously approved NS granting temporary trackage rights for two years’ time on March 13, 2013, for ten years’ time on May 16, 2013, and for four years’ time on November 17, 2006. However, the DEIS reveals that NS was not consulted in the preparation of the DEIS. Furthermore, the DEIS failed to provide any substantial or fact-based justification for why temporary rerouting of trains during construction in the VAT was not brought forward for evaluation. Concept 7 requires full evaluation. The failure to consider Concept 7 for evaluation as a reasonable alternative is a violation of National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) guidelines. The responsible federal agencies need to withdraw the DEIS and issue a Supplemental Environmental Impact Statement (SEIS) or a new DEIS that includes all reasonable alternatives including temporary rerouting of trains during construction. Speak Out Against The Virginia Avenue Tunnel Project We are writing with concern about the Virginia Avenue Tunnel plan, (VAT) in which CSX proposes a massive construction project that slices through Capitol Hill, will last from 3-5 years (possibly more), and may include an open trench for freight trains. Among other issues, we are deeply concerned about the increase in noise and pollution (including light pollution), the ability for Hill residents and visitors to travel across Virginia Ave. easily and safely, potential construction-related safety issues (especially for our kids), as well as a concern about the more than 300 trees that will be permanently removed as a result of this project. We are also concerned about the VAT construction’s impact on local businesses, especially considering the substantial federal and city investments made in the success of new businesses in Barracks Row and the Navy Yard neighborhoods. In public statements, groups such as the Capitol Hill Restoration Society, the Committee of 100 on the Federal City, and the Sierra Club have criticized CSX’s VAT DEIS (Draft Environmental Impact Statement). They take issue with the project for various reasons, including that it is not necessary, poses health risks to the residents of Capitol Hill, and will cause considerable environmental damage and traffic problems. Although CSX has been donating to many local projects recently, no CSX-sponsored festival or free jump ropes can make up for the adverse environmental implications of their VAT project and the ensuing increased train pollution it will bring to Capitol Hill. Please join us in educating yourself about the VAT, contacting public officials with your concerns, and keeping Capitol Hill a livable, walkable, safe community for our families. In deciding to live in a vibrant, growing community like Capitol Hill, we recognize there will be change. Positive change benefits everyone. We’ve enjoyed the recent developments taking place in the Navy Yard neighborhood – beautiful public parks, delicious restaurants, baseball games, kayaking, and much more. We acknowledge change is required to see the fruits of these benefits. One change on the horizon, however, threatens these benefits and provides no positive impact to the community. Looking to increase its freight operations (and bottom line), CSX Corporation is planning a three to five year construction project to enlarge an existing tunnel beneath Virginia Avenue SE and Garfield Park. The project’s scope, as currently proposed, could result in an open-trench tunnel with exposed trains running at high speeds – effectively cutting Southeast Capitol Hill in half. To date, CSX has whitewashed the project’s pollution, noise, and vibration impacts and continues to withhold information about how these impacts would be mitigated. More importantly, the project itself increases the risk of a catastrophic train derailment, like the one that killed almost 50 people in Quebec only three short months ago. We must demand better for the neighborhood we love. Unfortunately, the project has crept under the radar (largely because CSX has spread enough money around to keep many happy). But many community groups have legitimate concerns, including Committee of 100 on the Federal City, Sierra Club, Capitol Hill Restoration Society, Capitol Quarter HOAs, ANCs, and our friends and neighbors among us. If your family frequents Yards, Canal, or Garfield Park, Results Gym, Nationals games, summer concerts or if you are concerned about traffic, home values, or ensuring a safe and healthy neighborhood for your children, take notice now. Tommy Wells must lead on this issue - contact his office and ask what concrete steps he is taking to ensure the welfare, safety, and security of our vibrant neighborhood.

I cited his medical career and his efforts to help kill the Lincoln Street Bridge project. Moyer, who passed away in August, has since been formally nominated and is now a finalist. The three finalists — King Cole, “The Gathering Place” and Dr. John Moyer — all are excellent choices. All three are deserving of recognition. The question in my mind goes to “fit” and “timing.” I’m sticking with Dr. Moyer, if for no other reason than the plaza and park fit, the timing is perfect to recognize his exemplary life, and, as it turns out, there actually are more meaningful and appropriate ways to recognize both King Cole and our Native American heritage. Moreover, since June, our community priorities have refocused, making Moyer an even better fit. About King Cole: He deserves more than a plaza. My suggestion: Let’s rename the park after the “Father of Expo” and call it “King Cole Riverfront Park.” There is precedent; Portland named its park along the Willamette River the “Tom McCall Waterfront Park” after Oregon’s late governor and environmentalist. Native American recognition? Yes, the tribes fished the river, but they “gathered” at what today is Indian Canyon Golf Course. The city has never addressed this important history. My question: Might there be a way to capture our Native American legacy through restoration of “The Canyon,” a community treasure? Turns out there is, and at the most propitious time, for both the tribes and the course. The course is in bad shape, having been neglected by the Park Board and Park Department for more than a decade. Longtime head professional Gary Lindeblad has advocated for a publicprivate partnership involving local tribes. Such efforts would focus more specifically on tribal history, while the course and its expanded facilities could become a draw once again. Everyone wins. A bout John Moyer, whose contribution to the bridge fight was of singular importance: The truth is, had the Lincoln Street Bridge been constructed we wouldn’t be having this discussion. There would be no plaza to name, because there would be no plaza. Indeed, there would likely be no Huntington Park. Why a plaza, if instead of looking down on the gorge vista, all you saw were cars rumbling over the widest bridge in the city? And who would care about hiking down to a park, only to stare up at the underside of a bridge that would also have ruined the view corridor from the park back up to the magnificent, Kirtland Cutter-designed Washington Water Power plant? When Moyer joined the opposition, the situation was dire. The federal money was in the bank, and the cranes were on the river. The downtown leadership, the traffic engineers, the mayor and most on the City Council — they all wanted the bridge. And you weren’t supposed to have the temerity to not “go along, to get along.” Not the Spokane way. The critics were castigated in the press and maligned by some members of the City Council. One was told that if he didn’t back off, he might be fired. Still, Moyer and his friends persevered. A nd Moyer would be the last to claim most credit for killing the bridge. Others were crucial, too, like Rick Hastings, who kept the Friends of the Falls alive and active. There was John Covert, a geologist, proved that the city’s traffic and pollution analysis was all wrong. The Siddoways, Doug and Laurel, provided the critical legal work. And then there was nationally known traffic engineer Walter Kulash, who came to town and, in the words LETTERS of Ron Wells, Send comments to “changed the [email protected]. debate.” Kulash showed how the project worked against the best urban principles, made little economic sense, contradicted the Downtown Plan and would result in a Division/ Ruby-like couplet — terrible for businesses downtown, worse for neighborhoods to the north. Throughout the fight, however, it was Moyer who most dramatically drew the issues together — that we would save the gorge and Native American heritage by killing the bridge. When Moyer spoke about this, about the tribes fishing for 80-pound salmon, he left people in tears. About those priorities: Since last summer, Spokane leaders have put the training of family doctors at the top of our list of important community and regional challenges. Here we have an opportunity to memorialize Spokane’s very own “doctor’s doctor.” Has there ever been a physician in Spokane who delivered more babies, while working run-outs to so many rural Washington communities? Moyer symbolized what “doctoring” was all about, and what we want it to be about again. So let’s name the plaza at the entrance to Huntington Park after John Moyer, and by extension, honor his life’s work, both professionally and as our civic conscience. Then we can turn our attention to commemorating the other two worthy finalists, too. n COMMENT \| PUBLISHER’S NOTE Comparing Notes BY TED S. McGREGOR JR. A couple of weeks back I made a trip down to Colorado Springs, where leaders from free urban weeklies from around the country gathered to share ideas and commiserate about the state of our business. I’ve gone to a lot of these events, and I always think back to when I was just trying to soak it all in and get some advice from the papers that were doing it right — Willamette Week in Portland, the San Francisco Bay Guardian. So it felt a little different to be chosen to present to the group on how we do things here in Spokane. Earlier in the day, we heard from Andrew Beaujon, who covers the newspaper industry for the Poynter Institute. He has a background in urban weeklies, so he knows our business. But he’s also basically been documenting the fall of an industry, as daily newspapers have been shrinking. And we’re not immune, as the recent closing of the once-mighty Bay Guardian loomed over our meetings. Beaujon said one daily publisher, frustrated by a lack of progress over everything they have tried to stop the bleeding, told him, “There are no silver bullets, only shrapnel.” I told our group that, yes, there is shrapnel — all media has been kind of blown up over the past decade. Radio, print and TV all have their challenges. But here at the Inlander, we believe in the power of words — mostly words on a printed page, but also beamed through cyberspace. I shared some of the many products we’ve added over the tumultuous past decade — InHealth, the No. 1 magazine in our market among women; Annual Manual, our compendium of all things Inlander; Inlander.com, our sleek, robust website; our Shop Local and Menu guides; and of course the events we have helped bring to our community, from Inlander Restaurant Week to the Volume music festival to the Snowlander Expo and PowderKeg Festival this weekend. Maybe the shrapnel can add up to a silver bullet. Whatever the reasons, papers like ours in medium-sized markets (Colorado Springs; Santa Barbara, California; Charleston, South Carolina; Spokane) are thriving. Independent research tells us the Inlander newspaper has become the No. 1 media source — print, radio or TV — in the Inland Northwest. How, the group asked me, did we do that? “Be yourself,” I said — innovation is a must, but do what you’re good at and stay true to your mission. In our case, that’s connecting our readers to local businesses in a variety of ways, creating a great place for our team to work and digging up stories that help everyone connect better with this place we call home. n JEN SORENSON CARTOON Looking for the Perfect Tenant for Your Rental Home?

Two weeks ago, I realized I’d had no clue BY LUKE BAUMGARTEN I was married recently. It feels a little weird saying that. The ceremony took place just 15 days after Terrain, the art event my wife (that also sounds weird), our friends and I put on. Terrain is a massive undertaking. Weddings are too. The details of why we stacked two huge events on top of each other aren’t really pertinent here, but let’s just say getting married in October was very important to us, so that’s what we did. We realized early that we couldn’t get everything done, so we began delegating. Not just the little stuff. We delegated almost the entire ceremony. We had a rough sketch of the outline of kind what we wanted, and we sort of told our officiant what we were looking for. We left all the fine details to her. I should say that we are not laid-back people when it comes to stuff like this. We’re control freaks. On top of that, we both had strong visions for what the wedding should be, and in matters of vision, we are both perfectionists. And yet, up until the second our officiant opened her mouth, neither of us had any idea what was going to come out for the next half-hour. The only time I felt nervous the whole day was when we were called to walk down the aisle. It wasn’t the lifelong commitment. For the first time in my adult life, I had completely given over a task of extreme importance to another person. No check-ins. No run-downs. My almost-wife — with a sort of wild, what-the-hellhave-we-done look in her eye — said she was nervous too. We had just trusted three people to be funny, tender and familiar, and to speak with conviction about, you know, me. And her. About, like, us. The most intensely personal relationship of either of our lives. And here’s the thing: I’ve used the word “trust” before, but I never really understood it — real, complete trust — until those three people stood up and delivered more touching readings than I could have honLETTERS estly ever imagined. Send comments to I’ve never felt [email protected]. such a warmth in my — I don’t even know — heart, I guess. These people had taken the time to reflect on us and deliver beautiful, funny, profound words that also occasionally skirted the line between decorum and bad taste (just how we both like it). I know my wife felt the same way because, in the middle, she met my gaze and, with her incredulous little side smirk, whispered, “This is f---ing awesome.” It really was. I haven’t been able to adequately describe that feeling, but here’s the closest I’ve gotten: It’s like the gratitude that comes after putting yourself entirely at another person’s mercy and realizing that they have recognized this incredible vulnerability, and met it with an equal amount of care. I’ve realized too that, because of my own need to be in control, I’ve been preventing myself from knowing that intense gratitude pretty much my whole life. Like many big changes, getting married forces reflection. The past two weeks I’ve been staring out over the horizon of my possible futures at the stars I’ve been guided by — diligence, craft, ambition, community — and I see two that I hadn’t noticed before. Faint and twinkling twin stars of trust and gratitude. It seems awfully fortunate to have found them when I did, embarking as I am on the biggest journey of my (our) live(s). n Luke Baumgarten is the interim co-executive director of Spokane Arts, a cofounder of Terrain, the founder of Fellow Coworking and former culture editor of the Inlander.

COMMENT \| FROM READERS Reaction to a blog (10/30/2014) on three possible names for the new City Hall plaza above Huntington Park. The name may recognize local tribes, King Cole or Dr. John Moyer. TRICIA MOSS-LINEBACK: Just name it Spokane Falls Park because Spokane’s original name was Spokane Falls. Makes sense, it’s next to the falls. Reaction to last week’s cover story, “Prisoners of War,” (10/30/14) about Eastern Washington medical marijuana growers running into trouble with the feds. MARIA TOWN: If any other easyto-grow herb actually was proven to cure any disease or significantly ease pain, it would be illegal too. Oil of oregano is thought to be an antibiotic; if this is ever proven, or even believed by enough people, you better believe it would be illegal too. Big Pharma and their pet politicians are not going to allow anything that helps people get better or control pain to be available without them getting their cut. Think about how much money they lose if we have alternatives that work. It is in their best interest that the common people be sick and in pain and that they have control of anything that might make us feel better. Of course they don’t want you growing an herb that you can use to help yourself. Where is the profit in that? RICK EICHSTAEDT: Lack of ADA Accessibility Plaza! MARITA VANSMOORENBURG FLETT: Please do not name this sacred spot after anyone who took this land from the original inhabitants! The Spokane Tribe ceded 3.14 million acres… in 1887.

Instead please name it after Illim Spokanee, Father of Spokane Garry, who surely saw heartbreak for his people coming.  OCT. 30-NOV. 5, 2014 WHILE POT MAY BE LEGAL IN WASHINGTON STATE, SOME PEOPLE ARE STILL GOING TO JAIL FOR GROWING IT BY HEIDI GROOVER PAGE 24 INSIDE THE EFFECT OF FULL-DAY KINDERGARTEN 13 \| MAYA ANGELOU 62 RICK ROSIO: Being a neighbor of the Harveys in Stevens County, I lost my home and almost my life over our work providing cannabis therapy to the sick and dying in Eastern Washington because 50 miles from the border is now under federal control, and no citizen has any rights within those areas.

Even fewer are minorities. What does it take to fix that? BY HEIDI GROOVER S pokane City Attorney Nancy Isserlis looked around during a meeting with the police chief earlier this year and found herself in awe that the lawyers at the table were “three powerful women.” It may be 2014, but the scene was a departure for the legal department — Isserlis says she’s Spokane’s first-ever woman city attorney — and it’s the sort of thing some people want to see more of at City Hall. “I’ve always thought that the best decisions are those made when a wide variety of viewpoints are represented in the room,” Isserlis says. “Diversity just makes a place a better place to work.” But in those terms, the city has a long way to go. Among the 25 city employees with the highest salaries, just five are women. (Isserlis is at the top of that group.) Include overtime to account for the pay employees actually took home last year and it’s even worse: one woman in the top 25. Of the top 100 salaries — all over $100,000 — 16 are earned by women; among the highest paid, that drops to 10 women and just four employees who are non-white. Start comparing these numbers and the results are mixed. In Seattle last year, there were no women among the 25 highest paid and just two among those with the highest base salaries. But at the federal government level, women make up 44 percent of employees and 30 percent of senior positions, and in the population at large, about half are women. So the lack of representation in Spokane leadership is clear, but we’re not the first ones to stumble here. Yet, to really understand — and hope to ever fix — the underrepresentation of women inside City Hall, leaders are going to need numbers. Today, there is no comprehensive report they can turn to in order to gauge just how much work the city needs to do, and where. In Seattle, after a national study ranked the city as having the worst pay gap in the nation, the issue helped define the 2013 mayoral race, the city created its own report and task force, and the city council passed a resolution calling on city departments to figure out what was causing the disparity and fix it. Here, while our numbers may appear better than Se- attle’s, there’s too much we don’t know. At least that’s the way Blaine Stum sees it. He’s a member of the city’s Human Rights Commission and the legislative aide to City Councilman Jon Snyder, and he’s recently been trying to cobble together a look at this problem. In lieu of a cityissued breakdown, he’s been poring over city employees’ ID photos and searching for public records and Facebook pages to determine their gender in order to figure out the types of jobs women most often hold. He’s found that less than a quarter of city employees are women and they’re most often in secretarial and clerical jobs, a trend that mirrors citywide employment for women. Stum found pay gaps — disparities in what women and men were paid per year on average — ranging from $1,000 in the accounting department to as high as $16,500 in the police department, likely due to the types of jobs women hold. Still, his estimates are imperfect and he doesn’t have racial data to consider. Stum has finished a draft report of what he found. He’ll pass it on to Snyder and try to get the Human ...continued on next page NOVEMBER 6, 2014 INLANDER 13 NEWS \| CITY S TA R T H E R E < > W HI T W OR T H.

Until then, his after-hours analysis is the best we’ve got and the results are stark. “Any demographic makeup should be representative of the community itself,” Stum says. “It’s not a good thing that our city government, as far as employee demographics, [is] so skewed in one direction as far as gender and also the types of jobs women are getting.

W EGRE An email for food lovers Sign up at inlander.com/newsletter 14 INLANDER NOVEMBER 6, 2014 sk around City Hall about this and an underlying tension emerges: Is civil service to blame for a lack of diversity? Civil service, remember, is the testing process nearly all applicants for city jobs must go through. Approved by Spokane voters a century ago, it’s meant to prevent cronyism. City leaders can’t just hand jobs to their friends and family members this way. The testing system doesn’t apply to department heads or assistant department heads (these are “exempt” positions), which the mayor appoints. Since taking office in 2012, Mayor David Condon has expanded the number of exempt slots in City Hall by reorganizing departments, drawing a court battle and heat from some who say it’s undermining the citizens’ will. To Condon and some in his cabinet, civil service is more like a straitjacket. Of course, they acknowledge, the system is valuable for fair hiring, but it limits their ability to target certain people who’d be best for leadership positions or certain groups they know are underrepresented at the city. “If they give me the list of three people and they’re all men, OK,” says Jan Quintrall, head of the city’s business and developer services division, tapping her fingers on a conference room table. “I have to have real clear reasons to want to bypass them and it can’t be, ‘I’m sorry. I can’t hire a man. I need to hire another woman.’” Quintrall says she’d like to see a higher percentage of city employees hired outside civil service. Maybe 10 or 20 percent instead of the current number, which amounts to about 6 percent. “Having a little bit of flexibility there might bring us a different outcome,” she says. “It’s probably time to have the conversation.” Not so fast, says Gita George-Hatcher, chief examiner of the NORTHERN QUEST PRESENTS ON SALE NOV 8 BILL MEDLEY & CHRISTOPHER CROSS Saturday, Feb 14 7:30pm Gita George-Hatcher used to lead affirmative action programs for the city and is now head of civil service.

George-Hatcher was head of the city’s affirmative action program until the late ’90s, when a national movement against so-called “reverse discrimination” and a statewide initiative swept those policies out of most local governments. Since, she says, the department has been trying to increase diversity without the force of a mandate. George-Hatcher says she wants to see more frequent testing and more different types of testing for jobs at the city to help people who may have busy schedules or struggle on written tests. She’s also planning to go out to neighborhood councils and groups like the local NAACP to get more people thinking about the possibility of working for the city. Among the highest paid employees last year, a big chunk of them work for the fire department and nearly all of them are white men. Assistant Fire Chief Brian Schaeffer says his department wants to remake its physical agility test over the next year to make it more fair to women. “There’s this urban lore that women can’t pass the test. They’ve been told, ‘You don’t have the upper body strength. Nobody ever passes,’” Schaeffer says. By revamping that test and working with George-Hatcher on recruitment, Schaeffer says the department hopes to see more women and minorities apply for jobs so they can work their way up to the high-paying spots: “It’s all a ladder, so you really need to plant now to realize the forest 20 years down the road.” n [email protected] CONQUEST OF THE CAGE MMA Saturday, Nov 15 7:00pm CAB CALLOWAY ORCHESTRA Saturday, Nov 29 7:30pm CELTIC WOMAN HOME FOR CHRISTMAS Dec 2 & 3, 7:30pm BRET MICHAELS / Dec 21 ROOTS & BOOTS - Darryl Worley, Aaron Tippin and Sammy Kershaw / Jan 9 RAIN - A tribute to the Beatles / Jan 19 AARON LEWIS / Jan 29 FOGHAT / Feb 6 BUY TICKETS AT NORTHERNQUEST.COM SPONSORED BY 87 7.87 1.67 72 S P OKANE , WA K ALIS P E L TRIBE OF INDIANS NOVEMBER 6, 2014 INLANDER 15 NEWS \| DIGEST ON INLANDER.COM More Inlander news every day PHOTO EYE LEGION OF BROOM MAYORAL PAY How much should Spokane’s mayor make?

If you feel like you’ve read this news before, it’s because you have. This summer, the city put out a call for ambulance bids, and AMR, which currently operates in Spokane, was the only bidder. After city council concerns that the bid request language unfairly favored AMR, the administration went back to bid. This week, they opened the results and found, again, only AMR’s response. Rival company Falck, which raised concerns about the first process, didn’t bid. CEO Michael Collins says that’s because he didn’t receive two “key pieces of information” he requested from the city: a breakdown of how many people transported in ambulances are covered by Medicaid, Medicare and private insurance and how many are uninsured, and the average times ambulances are in use during calls. (Collins says the payer breakdown data belongs to AMR.) So, he says, his company couldn’t come up with a realistic estimate of operating costs. “We’re not in the business of guessing,” he says. The city administration, including the fire department, will now analyze AMR’s new bid and start contract negotiations. The city council is expected to vote on a new contract by the first of the year. — HEIDI GROOVER INFORMED CONSENT After two months of somewhat selective recording, Spokane police officers will move forward with testing body cameras under an expanded order to VIDEORECORD ALMOST ALL CALLS. Police officials launched the new protocols Saturday, citing concerns about how much discretion officers had over recording. SPD Chief Frank Straub reversed a previous policy that required the 17 SPD officers testing the cameras to shut off recordings when asked to do so within a private residence. Those officers will now announce the presence of a camera, but will not seek consent to record. Police accountability advocates have called for more consistent recording and increased clarity regarding when officers must turn on cameras to avoid the censoring of some encounters. Officers will still have discretion during “sensitive” interactions such as death notifications. The legal nonprofit Center for Justice issued a letter Monday asking the department to strengthen the language in its policy to demand that officers “shall” record instead of “should” record most encounters. The Center also sought clarification on officer discipline for failing to record and “unauthorized” uses of the cameras. The department’s pilot program is set to run through Dec. 31, with plans to expand the use of cameras to additional officers in January. — JACOB JONES APR= Annual Percentage Rate.

A little over a month after Washington State University’s study proclaiming the promise of an independent fouryear MEDICAL SCHOOL in Spokane, the University of Washington has countered with its own study that’s been in the works since the spring. And this study comes from Tripp Umbach, the same firm once championed in 2010 by WSU for its study regarding the massive economic impact that expanded medical educaLETTERS tion would have on Send comments to Spokane. The study, [email protected]. released last Friday, clearly recommends expanding UW’s current crop of medical students in Spokane, instead of allowing WSU to create an entirely new school. It gets worse for WSU: The hope from the community that both programs could expand? Not an option, the report concludes: “Eastern Washington cannot currently support two medical schools due to limited clinical training sites and limited residency training sites.” The study praises UW’s success in keeping students in the state, doesn’t see the five-state region only having one medical school as a problem, and argues that UW is better poised to create new residency slots, despite its failure to create new residencies recently in Eastern Washington. As part of an agreement, both schools have agreed not to officially oppose the other’s proposal with state lawmakers, but that has hardly stopped the intense campaigning for their own proposals. — DANIEL WALTERS Apply Online Today www.QualfonJobs.com NOVEMBER 6, 2014 INLANDER 17 NEWS \| MENTAL HEALTH Jesus Martinez doesn’t know if he’ll ever be released from Eastern State Hospital. Jesus’ Food Truck ASHLEY TOMLINSON PHOTO The newest plaintiff in the lawsuit pitting insanity-defense patients against Washington state dreams of returning home BY DEANNA PAN E – Toward Future Services – Call Today! 509.624.4311 Sedation ... entistry Dwith 2806Patient S. Grand Blvd.X-rays • Spokane, WA purchase of New Exam, & Cleaning www.grandesmilesdentistry.com call today! 18 INLANDER NOVEMBER 6, 2014 very morning, Monday through Friday, 33-year-old Jesus Martinez makes a pot of Folgers Classic Roast for the regulars at the Alcoholics Anonymous meetings in downtown Spokane. “When that pot’s done, honey, pour me a togo,” a gray-haired lady at the bar says. She lights a cigarette, trembling between her fingers, before she teeters outside. The tip jar rattles. Martinez is stocky and soft-spoken with wavy black hair falling past his shoulders and a rosary dangling around his neck. He likes it here behind the counter at the Alano Club, a clean and sober nonprofit where he’s been volunteering since September. This place is the closest he’s felt to home in a long time. In 2001, Martinez pleaded not guilty by reason of insanity (NGRI) for a violent, druginduced crime. He’s now entering his 14th year of an indefinite commitment at Eastern State Hospital. For now, he has the court’s permission to leave the grounds for short periods — including to serve coffee at the Alano Club — but he doesn’t know if he’ll ever leave the hospital for good. Martinez is one of as many as seven new plaintiffs in a civil rights lawsuit pitting NGRI patients against the state of Washington. The suit alleges that current restrictions on NGRI patients at Eastern and Western State hospitals violate their constitutional and civil rights to adequate mental health treatment and release. He joined the suit after one of the plaintiffs was permanently discharged from Eastern because his commitment was found unconstitutional. The case is scheduled to go to trial next October. All of the additional plaintiffs in the suit are either no longer mentally ill or dangerous, says Emily Cooper, an attorney at Disability Rights Washington, an advocacy group and co-counsel for the plaintiffs. “This isn’t lawyers making these judgment calls; these are their own doctors saying this,” she adds. “It defies logic that even one person who doesn’t have mental illness should be confined at a mental health hospital. … We’re not talking about one. We’re talking about several.” Martinez’s current diagnoses: major depression, with a history of psychotic features and polysubstance abuse. Both, his doctors say, are in full remission. Martinez hasn’t taken psychiatric medication in about eight years. He’s currently petitioning the court, for the second time, for his final release from the hospital. “I feel blessed overall, but I’m still stuck,” he says. “I don’t feel there’s much treatment left for me at the hospital.” J ust before 11 am, Martinez makes his first surveillance phone call to Eastern State. He makes sure to call on time. Once, he called 10 minutes too late; the hospital almost alerted the police. “Hey, Kathy,” he murmurs. “It’s Jesus calling in.” When — or if — Martinez leaves the hospital, his dream is to open a food truck. He’ll start his business in his hometown of Moses Lake before expanding across the state. He’ll paint it blue — his favorite color. Perhaps he’ll even liven up the exterior with a mural like the one he did in the geriatric unit at the hospital — a panoramic landscape brimming with purple mountains, lush forests and clear lakes. He’s heard that the patients there find it calming. He’ll serve a rotating menu inspired by his favorite Asian and Mexican dishes, like pan-fried rice, noodles and teriyaki chicken, plus his mother’s posole. And he’ll make pastries. Croissants, danishes and donuts. “My family’s nickname for me is gordo — fat,” he says with a faint smile. He doesn’t know what he’ll call his food truck. He hasn’t put too much thought into that. What about Gordo’s? “Yeah,” he says. “That would be good.” Sp a - T acu lar IT’S GOING TO BE TH FRIDAY, NOV 14 • 4 - 8 PM M artinez grew up a block away from two churches on a mostly quiet street in a Catholic family. He and his siblings were raised by his mother, a loving and hard-working woman who picked apples and packed produce. But his childhood was plagued by violence. He got in fights at school and parties. Eventually, he was kicked out of Moses Lake High School at age 14. By then, he was experimenting heavily with hard drugs and alcohol. Meth, cocaine, crack, heroin, acid, speed, ’shrooms, cigarettes laced with embalming fluid — “the list goes on and on,” he says. He was high almost all the time, working multiple jobs under the table and rarely sleeping. It wasn’t long before the hallucinations started. First, he heard laughter. Then he heard commands. On April 22, 2000, Martinez, then 18, hopped into a car with two girls he’d just met at his mother’s yard sale. He was already high on pot and cocaine when they offered him a hit of chalky blue meth from a plastic baggie. The next thing he remembers is waking up, bleary-eyed and foggy, in a Grant County jail cell. According to court records, Martinez entered the home of 84-year-old Melvin Johnson that day. He stabbed the man 12 to 15 times with a knife and a screwdriver; stole his cash; and drove off in his 1983 Chrysler New Yorker. After the attack, Johnson’s health deteriorated, and he died two years later. Martinez’s public defender read him the charges: assault, burglary and robbery in the first degree. For the next year and half, Martinez was shuttled between jail and Eastern State Hospital, detoxing from years of heavy drug use. At the time of the commission of Martinez’s crime, a doctor determined he was suffering from cannabis dependence, methamphetamine abuse and schizoaffective disorder. On Aug. 16, 2001, Martinez was acquitted of all charges by reason of insanity and committed to Eastern State Hospital. In the prison system, Martinez, a first-time offender, would have faced a nine-year maximum sentence. He would have been eligible for parole after 14 months. Instead, he’s entering his 14th year at Eastern. Martinez remembers the first time he asked the judge for a final discharge in April 2010. His family was on one side of the courtroom; Johnson’s family was on the other. His attorney told him not to look in their direction. Before the hearing, Johnson’s son did an interview with a TV reporter. “It’s scary to think this guy might be running around this town or your town,” he said. Martinez says he would feel the same way. “I can’t take it back. I can’t say ‘sorry’ to that person. I can’t change how they feel,” Martinez says. “But that’s not who I am. That’s an incident that happened in my life, and not who I am or who I want to be.” Reserve your spot today! 1 855 232-2772 Join us for an evening of fun! $25 with $20 retail credit Demos • Retail specials • Wine & snacks Booking discounts • Door prizes Tips from the professionals M artinez learned to cook from his mother, who learned to cook by taste and smell alone.

As a boy, Martinez would sit in the kitchen with her and watch her at the stove. “Seeing the smile on her face,” he says — that’s his favorite memory. By age 5, Martinez was making breakfast for his baby sister while his mother was at work: Jimmy Dean sausages, scrambled eggs, French toast and coffee. He was always making coffee.

In fact, he sent a cassette tape recording of the sermon to the IRS, “saying we broke the law, there’s the tape,” he says. It’s part of an annual nationwide effort called “Pulpit Freedom Sunday.” The socially conservative organization Alliance Defending Freedom wants to sue to get the restriction on churches changed. But first it needs a church to be punished for endorsements. Despite 1,600 churches participating in endorsing candidates this year, and a 2012 Freedom From Religion Foundation lawsuit over IRS inaction, the IRS hasn’t appeared to have prosecuted churches. Gaylor says the IRS has insisted they are enforcing the law, but she says there’s a simple solution for politically inclined churches. “If a church wants to endorse to the public, it shouldn’t have that 501(c)(3),” she says. And that’s exactly what some local churches are doing. ‘FREE CHURCH’ For the past six years, David Stapp, pastor of First Baptist Church, has endorsed candidates from the pulpit. ASHLEY TOMLINSON PHOTO God’s Endorsements Some local churches are forgoing — or risking — their tax-exempt status to preach politics from the pulpit BY DANIEL WALTERS A few weeks before Election Day in the tiny north Spokane County town of Deer Park, David Stapp stands before his congregation at First Baptist Church and, in his soft Texas drawl, intentionally breaks the law. “In the first 300 years of this country, it was customary all across the land for the pulpits of America to preach what was called an ‘election sermon,’” he begins. “I’m going to preach about some things I’ve never really preached about before.” As sermons go, it isn’t fiery or angry. But the embrace of politics is unabashed: Stapp dives into Bible verses he interprets as opposing gun control. He flashes up red PowerPoint slides with quotes about abortion and gun control from the Democratic and Republican Party platforms, and includes a parishioner’s assessments of the two gun initiatives: “Jay says vote no!” on the background check initiative slide; “Jay says vote yes!” on the pro-gun-initiative one. Across faiths and denominations, churches debate their role in politics. But those who choose to mix the two have another dilemma: Do they follow the rules? Legally, pastors can give sermons discussing politically charged issues. But when it comes to endorsing or opposing specific candidates, churches risk losing their 20 INLANDER NOVEMBER 6, 2014 501(c)(3) nonprofit tax-exempt status. It’s been that way ever since Sen. Lyndon B. Johnson amended the U.S. tax code in 1954. But Stapp and some other local pastors have defied or dodged these restrictions. “The country was built on the concept of taking the word of God and applying it to public policy,” Stapp says. “Let’s talk about a couple candidates.” That’s when he endorses incumbent Rep. Cathy McMorris Rodgers over rival Joe Pakootas. The Freedom From Religion Foundation calls such actions not only illegal, but unethical. “Rogue pastors who endorse from tax-exempt pulpits are playing dirty pool,” foundation founder Annie Laurie Gaylor says in a release. “Such an abuse creates an unfair election advantage. Donations to politicians are not taxdeductible, but donations to churches are.” Nevertheless, for the past six years, Stapp has preached at least one sermon like this. Last year, he preached on property rights. His church has endorsed Rick Perry and Rick Santorum in primaries. He endorsed Rep. Matt Shea three elections in a row. The first time he delivered such a sermon, in 2008, he endorsed John McCain. At first it felt uncomfortable. “I felt like I was trying to swim in peanut butter and honey,” Stapp says. At the God and Country Celebration in June, “patriot pastor” Shahram Hadian preaches about the Book of Esther with salvos of ideological intensity. LETTERS “We have now seen Send comments to an infiltration of our [email protected]. nation, our government, our schools, by socialists, communists, secular humanists,” Hadian says. “And now Islamists.” This Sunday, at the La Belle Vie Event Center, Hadian plans to officially launch a Spokane branch of the Truth In Love Christian Fellowship. It will be a different kind of church, all the way down to its tax code status. Hadian calls it a “free church,” meaning it isn’t organized as a nonprofit. He says it’s not really about the freedom to endorse candidates as much as a philosophical objection to the tax code restrictions. “Does the government have the jurisdiction to license the church?” Hadian asks. “I would argue no.” A former Muslim from Iran, Hadian preaches unabashedly about gay marriage, border security, tax policy, Sharia law and, frequently, when to defy the government. One message, over three weeks, focused on a spiritual “civil war between Christians.” He believes the reluctance of the IRS to prosecute churches won’t last. Hadian points to the scandal regarding whether the IRS targeted conservative groups, the city of Houston’s temporary threat to subpoena sermon notes for a lawsuit, and the furor in Coeur d’Alene over whether the Hitching Post would be able to refuse to perform same-sex weddings. “The bottom line is I believe they’re coming after the church,” Hadian says. “It’s just a matter of when.” He sees his Spokane Valley location as a hub for a network of similar traditional and house churches. And he’s not the only one trying to spread the free-church model. In May, Chuck Baldwin of the Liberty Fellowship Church in Flathead County, Montana, launched an initiative to help establish a crowd of new “free churches.” (“I remind you that donations to Liberty Church Project are NOT tax-deductible,” Baldwin writes on his website.) “Try to deny it all you want, but when a church submits to the authority of the IRS 501(c)(3) tax-exempt status, it has surrendered the authority of Christ and replaced it with the authority of civil government,” Baldwin wrote in August. GOD, GAYS AND GUNS Other pastors, however, are made uncomfortable by preachers’ political pronouncements. “I think churches could help by breaking down the walls and deconstructing the polarizing language,” says Andy CastroLang, pastor of Westminster Congregational UCC. “We don’t have to all be on the same page. But we sure as hell should stop demonizing.” Yet her church is clearly politically active. The sign outside her church urges parishioners to support the background check initiative. She uses some of the same language to support gun background checks as Stapp does opposing abortion. “For us, it’s a matter of protecting human life,” she says. Her church fought as hard to retain gay marriage as other churches did to repeal it. But there are lines she tries not to cross. CastroLang says she’s had to gently correct parishioners who say things like “all those people who think President Obama should not be elected, I hope God will change their minds” in their prayers. Jim CastroLang, her husband, faces an even tougher balance: He’s simultaneously the pastor of a Colville church and the chair of the Spokane County Democrats. As a pastor, he can’t directly advocate for candidates. As the Democratic chair, that’s essentially his entire job. “You have to understand who you are and what role you’re in,” he says. He sees it as a professional boundary, similar to those therapists and attorneys have. “It’s a little cozy in my opinion,” Gaylor says. “But if he’s being scrupulous from the pulpit, then I think he’s technically following the law.” Though Stapp fervently disagrees with the CastroLangs’ positions, he says they shouldn’t have to worry about expressing them. “Unless I fight for their freedom, I lose mine,” Stapp says. “I don’t think the government should tell either one of us what we oughta be preaching.”  [email protected] ManShow_110614_8H_CP.jpg w i n e c e l l a r s Monday, October 27 – Tuesday, November 11 Save 30 to 50% or more on Mix-&-Match Cases!

YOUNG KWAK PHOTO After leading the Spokane diocese for four years, Bishop Blase Cupich prepares to lead 2.2 million Catholics in Chicago BY SCOTT A. LEADINGHAM I t’s a chilly, late-October night, and Blase Cupich is clearly interested in one thing: a hearty meal. “I’ll take the chili,” he says. That, and engaging in good conversation with a crowd of eager 20- and 30-something Catholics. With that dinner order, he sounds like any other person at Jack and Dan’s bar and grill. And even though it’s a Gonzaga University mainstay, where priests can often be found downing a pint, the man dressed in the unmistakable white collar is far from a regular patron. He is, after all, among the most famous Catholic leaders in America at the moment, and the most in-demand for news media interviews. Little more than a month ago, most people, rank-and-file Catholics included, didn’t know his name, let alone how to pronounce it. (For the record: SOO-pitch.) On this night, he’s bishop of the Spokane diocese. But in a few short weeks he’ll lead the third-largest Catholic diocese in the U.S. as archbishop of Chicago. In some ways, Cupich’s appointment isn’t completely unforeseen, given that his personal narrative as a reformer and champion of untangling bureaucracy parallels that of Pope Francis. However, there were surprises in the announcement. “It was a shock because of the swiftness of it,” says Rocco Palmo, a Catholic journalist whose Whispers in the Loggia blog has closely chronicled church news since 2004. Palmo says Cupich was fast-tracked by Pope Francis, who went outside the normal, more drawn-out process and personally vetted Cupich in a way not seen for major 24 INLANDER NOVEMBER 6, 2014 archbishop appointments. With his chili on the way, Cupich settles into a crowd of young adult Catholics meeting for their monthly pub night to hear from speakers on faith topics. This month they have the ear of the person who will soon lead 2.2 million Catholics and become a de facto spokesman for U.S. Catholics. Given such a tall order, he comes off disarmingly humble, which explains his appeal to Pope Francis. Cupich’s microphone squeaks, and he scoots LETTERS back to avoid the Send comments to speaker feedback. [email protected]. “Not since first grade have I been put in the corner,” he says, drawing laughter from the crowd. Appointed in 2010 to lead the Spokane diocese out of a bankruptcy brought on by sexual abuse lawsuits, Cupich is generally seen as an administrator in the mold of Pope Francis: able to insist on change where it’s needed, and capable of coming into a negative situation and managing with skill and grace. At the time, the Spokane diocese was close to selling off parishes to pay debts to victims, and Cupich considers the fact that no parishes were closed among his top accomplishments in Spokane. He says he didn’t even know about the diocese’s deep legal woes until after he arrived. “The first two years here were very, very hard. Just to make sure that we would not be in a situation where parishes would collapse because they would be confiscated,” he says. “I was very concerned about that. I knew it wasn’t just about the closing of buildings and the confiscation of property, it was about the real destruction of communities.” IT’S NOT OVER The figurative destruction of communities is one thing, but the very real harm brought about by sexual abuse is something of which he says he is very much aware. Late last month, it was reported that Cupich had removed a retired priest, Rev. Dan Wetzler, from the ministry after “credible allegations” surfaced. It was the second time Wetzler had been accused; he had previously been exonerated after a church investigation. That move, and Cupich’s appointment in Chicago, was criticized by the victims’ rights group Survivors Network of those Abused by Priests. “He’s doing the absolute bare, legalistic minimum. Pretty much because he has to,” SNAP Executive Director David Clohessy says of Cupich. SNAP also released media statements when Cupich was appointed in Chicago, and previously in Spokane, criticizing his work on the sexual assault front. “On this issue, this continuing crisis, he’s not the worst, but he’s far from the best,” Clohessy says, claiming that most of the work by church authorities, including Cupich, to address sexual abuse amounts to “public relations.” For his part, Cupich recognizes the criticisms against not just abusive priests, but those bishops who covered up or dismissed their abuses, calling that the truly scandalous part of the church. Cupich also notes that while he believes the victimization on a wide scale is over, and processes in place to protect youth will be effective, it’s important not to suggest it’s over for those who were victimized. “We have to be careful not to say it’s over for the people who still have the sting of this abuse in their psyche,” Cupich says. “And we have to comfort them and walk with them in that healing.” BACK TO HIS ROOTS In going to Chicago, Cupich will follow the trail of his predecessor, outgoing Archbishop Cardinal Francis George. Prior to Chicago, George was bishop of the Yakima diocese. Like Spokane, that diocese is relatively small and rural. For Cupich, though, it’s a move that will bring him back to his Midwestern family roots. Born and raised in Omaha, Nebraska, he spent most of his early years as a priest in the Midwest before becoming bishop of the Rapid City, South Dakota, diocese in 1998. It’s a move he’s happy to make. “There is an ethos [in the Midwest] about rolling up your sleeves and getting work done. People are very individualistic [in the Northwest],” he says. “They want to be left alone. It’s part of the Northwest and the whole business of how people live. It was tough for me to adjust to that. It doesn’t mean that one culture is better than the other. But there is a shift, and living in the Midwest brings me back to that kind of ethos that I grew up with.” Once he arrives, formally taking over on Nov. 18, he’ll immediately face the kind of troubling financial and sexual abuse issues that greeted him in Spokane. Though the Spokane diocese’s bankruptcy didn’t result in closing any churches or schools, he’ll inherit financial restructuring in Chicago. On Oct. 29, Cardinal George announced the closing of 14 Chicago archdiocese schools. It’s those skills as an administrator that got him appointed in Spokane and Chicago, according to Palmo, the Catholic journalist. But he’ll be jumping into a role in which the archbishop isn’t just an administrator overseeing hundreds of parishes and schools and millions of Catholics. He’ll be a spokesman for the U.S. Catholic church, not to mention a civic leader in a city with a nearly 40 percent Catholic population. And that, Palmo believes, will be the major adjustment for Cupich. “If something goes wrong in Chicago, two people are out front,” he says. “The mayor and the archbishop.”  Less pain. More life.

YOUNG KWAK PHOTO Know the World The Spokane Fall Folk Festival is a crash course in cultural traditions BY MIKE BOOKEY he first Spokane Fall Folk Festival guaranteed two things: the event would feature food and electricity. There would be music and dancing and a collection of other artistic elements, too, but they really wanted to get the word out over the airwaves about the ample power and food available at the Unitarian church hosting the event. It was it was mid-November of 1996, a month and year that longtime residents probably still shudder at, remembering that dreadful period simply as “Ice Storm.” “They had power there, and we had food, and we thought that we’d be a big draw,” says current Fall Folk Festival director Sylvia Gobel. “They were surprised how many people turned out, though.” People did brave their way through the icy streets, and not just for the food and warmth, it turned out. They came to see the collection of traditional music, dancing and art that Spokanites would be hard-pressed to find elsewhere throughout the year. A few years later, the festival outgrew its location a couple of times, eventually landing at Spokane Community College, which this year hosts more than 100 performers. The acts range from the sort of “folk” music most casual music fans would associate with the word, but also traditional klezmer, African and Celtic dance troupes, youth choirs and more. That “folk” word means a lot more than you might think, it turns out. And the SFFF is fine with keeping things broad. “The true definition states that folk is something that’s been handed down from your grandfather or whatnot, that you’ve been passing down,” says Gobel. “But if I was suddenly going to learn Cuban folk music, that would still be folk music, even though I’m not Cuban.” Surprisingly, Gobel and the SFFF committee don’t have to explain the festival’s definition of folk very often to prospective performers. In all the festival’s years, Gobel says she’s only had to ...continued on next page NOVEMBER 6, 2014 INLANDER 27 CULTURE \| FOLK An incredible way to experience 1001 West Sprague • 509-624-1200 music of theAve. Symphony $12 Gourmet Mea l at the Fabulous Fox! with a splash Happy Hour 5 to 7pm Featuring Spokane Blues Duo Doghouse Boyz!

We have a few folk-rock acts, but we wouldn’t, for example, have a classical quartet or a straight jazz,” she says. What comes out of those parameters is a one-stop-shopping opportunity for the community to see (and perhaps even learn to perform) music and dancing that have roots in cultures from around the world. “The comment that I hear the most is, ‘I never knew there were so many musicians in Spokane.’ I think people are shocked that there’s all of these [cultural] communities in our backyard,” says Gobel. Mary Ann Souza moved to Spokane in 1985 from the Big Island of Hawaii. She’s been hula dancing on the island since she was 5 years old — it’s as common for young girls as taking ballet lessons on the mainland, she says — and now owns Northwest Hula Company. The group teaches traditional Hawaiian and Polynesian dances to kids and adults, most of whom have a familial connection to the islands. For Souza, the SFFF is a chance to remind Spokane that there is a Hawaiian community here, and that hula dancing isn’t just a novelty for hotel commercials and dashboard decora- tions. “People need to understand that it’s not just a fancy dance. This is a culture with a lot of history, and there’s that history in the dance,” says Souza. “It’s important to share that with people. It’s a beautiful experience to keep alive.” For Souza, part of the SFFF experience isn’t just performing, but learning about other cultures. She says it’s a chance for people in the city to educate each other: “It’s important for us to appreciate these cultures.” Keeping with the inclusive spirit of the festival, SFFF has always been, and remains, a free event. That means the performers are not paid and the festival’s operation is powered completely by volunteers. The reason so many people put in the hours of rehearsals, scheduling, setting up of infrastructure and other efforts, says Gobel, all comes down to one word — education. “They can sample everything for free. It’s all educational. Even if you come in and you’ve never heard bluegrass, you’re going to learn something about that,” she says.  Spokane Fall Folk Festival • Sat, Nov. 8, from 11 am-10 pm; Sun, Nov. 9, from 11 am-5 pm • Free • Spokane Community College • 1810 N.

He writes, “I had just figured out, rather naively, that I could buy my own books, and then almost instantly I became a prig about their condition … no breaking the spines, no dog-earing the pages, no greasy thumbprints.” Not 20 pages later, in the midst of D’Ambrosio’s title essay, I’m compelled to dog-ear two corners to note passages that epitomize the writer’s exacting style. Throughout the collection, D’Ambrosio’s words conjure metaphorical “thought light bulbs” in the reader’s mind as he strikes feelings deep within — about TV news reporters, whale conservation and the magic of trains — all eloquently described in his rich, affecting prose. From a distance, you might suspect the work of Spokane-based artist Christina Rothe to be paintings. But a closer look reveals that her interpretive pieces are made from pieces of thread painstakingly arranged on wood. Rothe spent her youth in Lagos, Nigeria, and was educated in Europe as well as the U.S., giving her work a global feel, as you can see in the above piece, “Blink of a City.” She relocated to the Inland Northwest about five years ago and has displayed her work around the region and beyond since. — MIKE BOOKEY Free Flow: The Artistic Journey of Christina Rothe • Reception Fri, Nov. 7, from 5-8 pm • Dodson’s Jewelers • 516 W.

The physical theater facilities will be known as the Modern Theater Spokane and the Modern Theater Coeur d’Alene. “While it is not uncommon for companies to experience change and re-branding, we are very sensitive of the outcome this will have on both Spokane and North Idaho communities,” Executive Director George Green (pictured) says in a release. “We are making our best efforts to revitalize and grow while honoring the positive history that the prior venues exhibited over many years.” Next week, we’ll review the first play under the merger, The Glass Menagerie. — MIKE BOOKEY GAME \| Move over, DOTA 2 and League of Legends. There’s a new MOBA (multiplayer online battle arena, that is) on the scene. STRIFE is setting out to change the hostile perceptions of this gaming style set by its predecessors, including Strife developer S2’s previous release, Heroes of Newerth. With Strife, the team hopes to weed out those mean trolls through a karma vote system, and thus create a more welcoming environment for casual or new MOBA players who may be unsure of the genre based on past experiences or hearsay. Strife’s play format is fairly standard — two teams of five players battle for and defend territory in an enclosed arena, upgrading their characters’ abilities as each battle session progresses. The free-to-play game is currently in Beta mode, with new features added continuously.

Robert Lennon’s unpredictable prose hits hard — even in short stories BY DAN NAILEN T he genre-defying J. Robert Lennon is perhaps best known for novels like Familiar, or for the short-lived CBS detective series Unforgettable, based on one of his stories. But chances are you don’t know him unless you’re a dedicated fiction fan who picks up things like the Best American Short Stories anthology. Lennon teaches at Cornell, pens a blog, Literambivalence, and co-hosts a podcast with poet Ed Skoog. He’s part of the Starry Mountain Sweetheart Band, primarily made up of writers living in Ithaca, N.Y., and his new collection of short stories, See You in Paradise, is bringing him to Spokane thanks to his friendship with local authors Sharma Shields and Jess Walter, who called the stories in Paradise “funny, moving, inventive and absurd.” We talked with Lennon about his literary life: Friday, November 21 - 7:30 PM INB Performing Arts Center 30 INLANDER NOVEMBER 6, 2014 INLANDER: In some interviews, you refer to being a writer of “literary fiction.” How do you define that? J. ROBERT LENNON: I only use that because I know it’s a convenient label for fiction that doesn’t fall into any particular genre like science fiction, or romance or mystery. But the fact is my favorite authors in those genres fall into “literary fiction” as well. Which is to say, they are really concerned with the way a sentence sounds. They’re concerned with the economy of language. The expressive acumen of the person writing it — they’re sort of stylistically robust and interesting. They’re not merely getting the job done. That’s a pretty good way to put it. I think the reason there are so few writers of genre fiction who are thought to be as good at writing as literary fiction writers is that they have so much more work to do. It’s very hard to create a persuasive plot and characters at the same time you have to design a science-fiction world, or research a police procedure. Why a short story collection, instead of another novel? Ever since I’ve published stories, I’ve been sort of pestering various publishers I’ve been with to put out a collection, and they always say, “Let’s wait and see how the next novel does.” And then the novel does what literary novels do, which is not do very well. But finally my sales started picking up and I started in with Graywolf, who are a press more sympathetic to small, literary books. And they were super-enthusiastic about the possibility of publishing a collection. I had like 20 years’ worth of stories. PRESENTS What do you like as a reader? I probably read more science fiction than I read literary fiction. I like having pleasurable reading in areas that aren’t my area of expertise. I’m very impressionable, and when I read the literary writers, I start to sound like them. Are your blog and podcast ways to work out ideas, or just outlets for creativity? I’m kind of an exhibitionist, so the Internet has been a great and dangerous tool for me to indulge that part of my personality. I kind of just like making stuff. And there are things that I would put in a blog or say on a podcast that might not be appropriate for a piece I’d put in a magazine, or that someone would be willing to buy. That’s the kind of stuff I like to read as well. I like reading people’s of-the-moment casual writing as well as their more refined projects. n NOVEMBER 7-8 & 14-15-16 SEE PETER PAN, WENDY, CAPTAIN HOOK, AND MORE OF YOUR FAVORITE CHARACTERS FLY ON THE BING CROSBY STAGE.

YOUNG KWAK PHOTO A Nice Catch Cooper Kupp is happy to be breaking receiving records at EWU NOT a football. BY HOWIE STALWICK S ophomore Cooper Kupp has quickly established himself as one of the greatest wide receivers in Big Sky Conference history, and Eastern Washington coaches are still patting themselves on the back for winning the recruiting battle for Kupp. Yep, the Eagles had to fend off Idaho State and… uh, nobody. The oft-hapless Bengals were the only other school to offer Kupp a scholarship after a stellar career at Davis High School in Yakima. In fact, Ivy League schools were the only other suitors who seemed more than mildly interested in Kupp, and athletic scholarships are not allowed in the pricey, academically elite conference. “It was frustrating,” Kupp says. Talk about frustrating — try covering Kupp on a pass route. He’s not the fastest guy, nor is he the biggest, but Kupp is putting together another monster season, one year after breaking NCAA Football Championship Subdivision records held by former NFL great Randy Moss and others. “It’s amazing statistically what he’s done in a short amount of time,” Eastern Washington coach Beau Baldwin says, “but it seems like he’s been here a long time with the amount of plays he’s made. It’s even more impressive in terms of what he’s meant as a leader and example to our other players.” Hard work and a passion for football are two qualities Kupp inherited from a family where the sport reigns supreme. Kupp says he remains inspired by a pep talk he received from his father (former NFL quarterback Craig Kupp) in seventh grade, when Cooper was a 5-foot-1, 100-pound benchwarmer in basketball. “He just said, ‘Continue to work hard. Continue to earn everything, because that’s something that will carry over,’” Kupp recalls. Today, Kupp stands 6-foot-2 and weighs 195 pounds. He rides the bench no more. “I’m never going to have God-given speed,” Kupp says. “I’m not going to be given that God-given size. What God did give me 32 INLANDER NOVEMBER 6, 2014 is, he gave me the desire to work hard and to push through things and to want to earn things.” After redshirting his first year at Eastern, Kupp earned firstteam FCS All-America honors last season when he set FCS freshman records of 93 catches, 1,691 receiving yards and 21 touchdown receptions. He also broke an all-time FCS record with touchdown catches in 14 consecutive games. “Best receiver I have ever played with,” Eastern’s star quarterback Vernon Adams says. Adams has been sidelined the past month with a broken foot, but Kupp ranks among national leaders with 65 catches for 879 yards and 12 touchdowns for the 8-2 Eagles, who head into a key Big Sky matchup with Montana on Saturday in Cheney. Kupp, an economics major with a 3.48 grade point average, hopes to follow his dad and grandfather Jake Kupp into the NFL one day. He can also thank his mom for good genes. Karin, a soccer player in college, joined Craig in the Pacific Lutheran University Athletic Hall of Fame in Tacoma. Cooper boosted his chances of passing along quality genes when he became engaged to EWU track-and-field athlete Anna Croskrey last spring. They’ve scheduled a June 20 wedding. Croskrey’s presence at Eastern provides Kupp with one more reason to be thankful he wound up playing for the Eagles. Not that he’s forgotten that University of Washington coaches never responded to his letters and game tapes, or that Washington State coaches only expressed interest in him as a walk-on safety. “It was definitely a tough time,” Kupp says. “But in the end, I’m so glad I’m here.” n Eastern Washington vs. Montana • Sat, Nov. 8, at 12:10 pm • Live on ROOT Sports TV and ESPN 700 AM • Game is sold out YES a resource you keep and share with friends.

Over the last seven years, we have added 500 acres of terrain, and this summer we have been brush cutting in those areas.” The rental department has also added a new fleet of rental skis geared for big mountain and allterrain riding. “These skis will be better for taking people all over the mountain,” says Hartmann. This summer, 49 Degrees North also started the planning process of a new 5,000-square-foot remote mountain lodge. A couple of locations are being considered: 4 SNOWLANDER NOVEMBER 6, 2014 BOB LEGASA PHOTOS either the base of Chair No. 5 or at the junction of Silver Ridge and Blast face. The anticipated start would be in the summer of 2015 with the utilities construction, with final construction during the summers of 2016 and 2017. “This winter, we will continue with the ongoing planning on this lodge, which will include full food and beverage services,” Hartmann says. MAKING THE MOST OF IT Many perks come with being a season pass-holder at 49 Degrees North; 49 has partnered with other, like-minded resorts that share the same values — short lift lines, family-oriented, with wide-open spaces. 49 encourages you to make the most of your pass: Take a trip to one of these awesome ski areas and ski for free.

This past summer, Silver Mountain finished brushing them out, making them more buff than ever. “Speaking from experience, these runs were epic and fun, fun, fun last season,” says Neal Scholey, director of marketing and sales. “With the brush cutting and slope maintenance that we completed this summer, we will have more terrain and hope to be able to open it earlier. We are expanding our progression terrain park in hopes of giving the youngsters more opportunities to learn in the park,” Scholey adds. Another exciting addition to the mountain is the Kellogg Peak webcam. “We are installing a webcam with night vision on the top of Kellogg Peak, so that on some of those stormy evenings, users will be able to 6 SNOWLANDER NOVEMBER 6, 2014 go up and check out what is happening at the top,” says Scholey. Viewers will be able to see all the powder that’s falling. MAKING THE MOST OF IT How to make the most of your Silver Mountain experience? “At Silver Mountain, we have two incredible opportunities to ski powder, which are unique to Silver,” Scholey says. “During non-holiday weeks, Silver Mountain is closed Tuesday and Wednesday so Thursday Powder days can be off the charts.” So if you see a storm coming through the region on a Tuesday or Wednesday, check out the newly installed Kellogg Peak webcam, visit the snow report and make your way to Silver for a Thursday Powder Day. The second way to take advantage of a Silver powder day is to sign up for their First Tracks program, available on Saturday mornings.

Doc Fee NOVEMBER 6, 2014 SNOWLANDER 7 MOUNTAIN PROFILE BOB LEGASA PHOTOS LOOKOUT PASS WHAT’S NEW “As soon as it snows, we’re ready to go,” says Phil Edholm, CEO and president of Lookout Pass Ski & Recreation Area. This is due in part to the sheer amount of snowfall they receive throughout the year, especially in the early season. “Of course, a large part of this is because of the extensive brush cutting we complete every summer,” adds Edholm, this year being no exception. Other improvements include the purchase of a PistenBully snowcat, expanding their fleet of groomers to a total of five and adding more grooming capability for those infrequent Lookout dry spells. “We have all new skis and snowboards in our rental fleet this season,” Edholm says. “This is something we do every year.” Another project for Lookout Pass this summer was the ongoing process for their next expansion project, which will include two new chairlifts, 700 acres and 14 new runs, plus gladed areas. “We are still in the middle of the Environmental Impact Study,” says 8 SNOWLANDER NOVEMBER 6, 2014 Edholm. This expansion will be in the Eagle Peak area, to the immediate west of the existing ski area. This will be the third major expansion since 2003, when the Timber Wolf double chair was added to the Montana side of the mountain, followed by 2007, when the North Star double chairlift added expert terrain with a north aspect to the Lookout Pass trail map. You won’t see this update for the upcoming season, but Lookout Pass is in the planning stage of lodge improvements: A new 14,000-square-foot base lodge is being drawn up that will include meeting room space, a new food court and expanded season. The plans also include for the lower level to have overnight rooms. MAKING THE MOST OF IT During January and February, Lookout Pass is open six days a week, Wednesday through Monday. Hit the mountain on Wednesday, after a Monday evening or Tuesday storm cycle, and enjoy a morning of fresh powder. Lookout Pass also has an assortment of learning opportunities for those looking to advance their skills: Programs for seniors on Mondays, women’s-only clinic Downhill Divas on Fridays, and the Next Level program for intermediate and advanced skiers and snowboarders, scheduled for Sundays. SPECIAL DEALS 6-Pack Advance Ticket Package: If you know you’re going to ski Lookout Pass this season but can’t commit to a season pass, take a look at the 6-Pack Advance Ticket Package: Make your purchase at least five days in advance and receive six days of skiing for the price of five; adults $200, junior/senior $145 and college/military $190, plus Idaho state sales tax. — JEN FORSYTH LIFT TICKETS Adult (18-61 years) Full day: $38 midweek / $40 weekends & holidays Half day: $33 midweek / $35 weekends & holidays Juniors (7-17 years) Full day: $27 midweek / $29 weekends & holidays Half day: $23 midweek / $25 weekends & holidays College/Military Full day: $35 midweek / $38 weekends & holidays Half day: $30 midweek / $33 weekends & holidays Seniors (62+) Full day: $27 midweek / $29 weekends & holidays Half day: $23 midweek / $25 weekends & holidays Children 6 & under Free Book Your Winter Getaway!

Spokane Ski & Snowboard Park will see a lot of additions to the freestyle program at the Kan. “We are building a whole new, all-natural terrain park featuring log rails, among many other features, that will be completely natural,” says Kristin Whitaker, mountain services, marketing and events manager for Mt. Spokane. Also, in an effort to stay connected with terrain park users, terrain park staff will be managing and building dialogue with park users through the new website mtspokane.com/terrainparks. “We spent a good part of the summer glading the trees on Chair 4, which will allow for a better exit towards the bottom,” explains Whitaker regarding other summer projects. “We also updated restrooms in Lodge 2 and completely remodeled the restrooms in Lodge 1, as well giving it new exterior paint. 10 SNOWLANDER NOVEMBER 6, 2014 “We are still in the ongoing approval process for installing the Red Chair. We are still awaiting a decision,” with the final meeting at Center Place in the Spokane Valley, Nov. 19 at 6:30 pm. With the final decision coming Nov. 20, supporters of the Red Chair are encouraged to stop by the Mt. Spokane booth at the Snowlander Expo, pick up your own “I Support the Red Chair” pin, and attend the meeting on the 19th. MAKING THE MOST OF IT The “First Timers Guide” Video Series, available on Mt.

Other improvements include the paving of part of the main parking lot and the addition of restrooms near the Hermit’s Hollow Tubing Center, benefiting tubing area and Nordic trail users, as well as those skiing back down to the Great 12 SNOWLANDER NOVEMBER 6, 2014 Escape Quad. Upgrades have also been made to the snowmaking system on the lower mountain. “We also added another snowcat to the fleet,” says Mirus; that will increase overall grooming capacity. MAKING THE MOST OF IT If you’ve purchased your Schweitzer season pass, you’re now part of the Powder Alliance, which got a little bigger this season: Silver Star has been added to the list of resorts where you can ski free for three days. Other resorts include Stevens Pass, Bridger Bowl, Snow Basin and Crested Butte, among a total of 13 in the alliance. Check out powderalliance.com for the list and details. If you’re new to skiing and want to get involved without a huge financial commitment, Schweitzer has revamped their “Ski Free in 3” program: Sign up for three lessons for $159, including lessons, lift tickets and equipment rentals. If you complete all three lessons, Schweitzer will give you a pass to ski for free from mid-March through the end of the season. Additionally, if a friend joins you, they’ll throw in an extra lift ticket to use anytime during the season. SPECIAL DEALS There are plenty of affordable ways to enjoy Schweitzer. For the past several years, Schweitzer has offered a $10 Community Day: for $10, you can ski and ride all day All ticket proceeds for that day will benefit local nonprofits. This event is tentatively planned for Friday, Dec. 12.

MASON SUTTER PHOTOS A blanket of snow softens the jagged lines of a mountain. It dampens sounds, plays with light and allows skiers and boarders to fly. The beauty, speed and quiet have always attracted Mason Sutter to winter sports. Two years ago, the avid snowboarder tore his ACL and meniscus — temporarily retiring the board. “With that injury, that’s where my photography kind of picked up,” Sutter says. “I just wanted to fill that void.” So he started hiking as part of his rehab and took a camera along. Sutter says he’d learned the basics of film photography in an introductory class at Spokane Falls Community College. But he didn’t dive into it until his injury forced him off the slopes. Now he’s even more excited about photography than he is about getting back on his board. “There is something so big and vast about the mountains and the winter,” he says. “Photography is such a great way to capture [those] moments and places.” Although photography is highly personal for Sutter, it’s also a way of keeping people involved in his life. Through his photos, he gives a personal definition to beauty and nature. “[Snowboarding] is an extreme sport, but it’s actually one of the most peaceful things I’ve ever done,” he says. “You can just stare at a photo and just feel how quiet it must have been.” Snow photography poses its own challenges, the first being access. Sutter recommends that aspiring snow photographers become familiar with the winter sports they’re trying to shoot. For him, being immersed in the snowboard world helped tremendously. “I knew snowboarding,” he says. “I grew up with the magazines. Those were my big inspirations.” The cold, relative remoteness of many mountains and other barriers make winter photography more difficult to execute. However, it’s also what makes it rewarding, Sutter says. “Most of the pictures I’ve taken were me just like, ‘Holy crap, look at 24 SNOWLANDER NOVEMBER 6, 2014 this, look at where I am,’” he says. Light in the mountains can be tricky, he says. When shooting, especially with film, you have to watch your white balance and exposure. Sutter has learned the best time to shoot snow photos, or really any kind of landscape photo, is early in the morning. “Getting up early was a huge thing I had to learn how to do,” he says. Researching conditions before you go is also important. A cloudy day in Spokane might be clear blue skies on Mount Spokane, or vice versa. Still it’s unavoidable, especially in this area, that many days will be overcast and gray. In those situations, Sutter says he prefers to shoot black and white. Still, the best way to get better is to just shoot lots of photos. The more comfortable you are with your camera, the better you’ll be. “I think photography is a great outlet,” Sutter says. “Especially for introverted people. For me, it was a huge way to branch out and express myself.” For those more interested in shooting video, GoPros are the perfect option, according to Nick Beale of REI. On Thursday, Nov. 20, he’ll teach an REI GoPro basic class. Beale uses his GoPro for skiing, mountain biking and fly-fishing expeditions. During the class, he’ll teach the basics of effective GoPro use and different mounting and stabilization techniques. He also recommends that GoPro users play around with their camera before they take it into the field. Additionally, he recommends getting as large a memory card as possible and splitting your video into chunks, as opposed to just shooting one continuous video. “These cameras are incredibly capable,” Beale says. “The sky is the limit.” Beale says GoPro’s website offers free programs and tips, including free video editing software. At the end of the day, Sutter says it’s all about keeping your eyes open, and your camera ready. n WINTER EVENTS NOVEMBER SNOWSHOEING BASICS Want to try snowshoeing after the white stuff falls?

Never mind: found them in my boot bag. Oh, and the ski socks I was wearing that day are in there too. Probably should wash those… Found my goggles, but where’s my helmet? 6 DAYS UNTIL OPENING DAY Whoa! I just put my ski boots on for the first time since closing day. How do these ever feel comfortable? In an attempt to make them a little easier to put on, I walked around the house and got a glare from the dog as I walked by as gracefully as Frankenstein. How can 110 flex boots feel so good in January but so horrible in November? 5 DAYS UNTIL OPENING DAY Just checked the tracking for my new skis. I’ve checked five times a day for the past week, and the system still says “Processing Order.” Why does it take so long to process? It’s easy. Receive the order, put it in a box and ship it. 4 DAYS UNTIL OPENING DAY Woke up this morning and tracked the new skis again. “On truck for delivery” — looks like I’m stalking the UPS man today. LATER IN THE DAY: 4 DAYS UNTIL OPENING DAY IT’S ALWAYS WORTH THE WAIT The journal entries of a ski bum waiting for the season to start BY JEN FORSYTH “Dear Diary ... I’m growing impatient...” JIM CAMPBELL ILLUSTRATION When you see this icon you’ll know you’re supporting a local business. 14 DAYS UNTIL OPENING DAY I put my ski pants on today. While I can still zip them up, sitting on a chairlift with thick base layers might be a problem. Time to overdose on lunges and crunches for the next 14 days. Wow, I must have had a fun summer. 12 DAYS UNTIL OPENING DAY Less than two weeks until opening day. It’s raining, cold and all motivation has been lost to do anything except my mandatory crunches and lunges and watch old ski movies. Maybe I’ll put my ski pants on as a reminder as to why I shouldn’t drink PBR while watching them. 7 DAYS UNTIL OPENING DAY I decided to try to find my gear that I forgot I bought at the end of last season. Found two gloves, but they’re both left-handed — now I’m remembering that end-of-the-year of celebra- I have new skis! The best feeling in the world — or so it seems for a couple of weeks, anyway. Time to bust out the Pendleton whiskey and PBR for the ceremonial first waxing of the new boards. 2 DAYS UNTIL OPENING DAY My car is packed and I’m ready! I just can’t wait! Two ‘sleeps away’ from the best time of the year. OPENING DAY EVE I took today off from lunges and crunches in hopes of not having legs that are too fatigued, but who I am kidding: I’ll be sore for sure. Tomorrow is the day. Can’t sleep. OPENING DAY My alarm was set for 5:30. It’s 4. I’m up like a kid on Christmas morning. I’ve been waiting almost 230 days for this… time to go ski! n Available in Prescription & Non-Prescription.

YOUNG KWAK PHOTO PICKLE PRIDE The pickling gospel is spreading to a new generation BY LAURA JOHNSON P ickling parties are a family event at the Musser house. Sometimes there’s a gaggle of friends and relatives; other times it’s Dave Musser, his wife Brianna and their feisty 3-year-old daughter picking the bounty from their garden. Then the adults wash the equipment, boil the vinegar-based brine, pack, seal and then boil the jars. Musser, who grew up pickling with his parents, preserved cucumbers and spicy green beans with his own young family for the first time last year. They now have a closet full of homemade pickles and canned pear butter, spaghetti sauce and salsa. “I was always the weird kid who brought homemade pickles to school in my lunchbox,” the 32-year-old says in his Emerson-Garfield neighborhood home. “Now I’m passing down this tradition.” ...continued on next page NOVEMBER 6, 2014 INLANDER 33 FOOD \| TRENDS E xt r a P a t r o l s O n N o w DRIVE HIGH GET A DUI Better Bread.

Pickling, canning and brewing beer at home are making a comeback. What once was something older generations had to do to make budgets and food supplies last is now trendy, as Portlandia-watching young people look to be healthier and self-sufficient. But Musser says he didn’t get into preserving because it was hip. “There’s probably a little bit of cool pride in me to say ‘I made this, I grew this,’’ says Musser, a pastor at Alter Church. “It’s fun to say to our daughter, ‘This is out of our garden and you helped with this.’ She’s more likely to eat it that way.” Not only do the Mussers’ dill pickles turn out light and crunchy, the packed jars make perfect housewarming gifts. Big dinners also become a bit simpler. “When people come over, all I have to do for an appetizer is put out a plate of pickles, crackers and cheese, and people are happy,” Musser says. At Spokane’s Petunias Marketplace, owner Stacy Blowers sells a variety of pickled vegetables packaged in her quaint shop’s commercial kitchen. She says over the past four years, customers’ interest in pickling has spiked. “Across the board, people are interested in the farm-to-table process again because it’s healthy and wholesome,” Blowers says. Manufacturing and selling pickles for the public is quite a different matter than making them at home. The FDA must approve all pickle recipes before they can be sold at a shop or local farmers market. “It’s important I know what I’m doing with my process, re- $6.00 Lunch Specials 11am-2 pm daily Dave Musser’s pickled green beans, just one of the vegetables he pickles. YOUNG KWAK PHOTO cording every step of the way,” Blowers says. “There is a big risk with pickles, but if you do it appropriately, in a consistent manner, it will work fine.” That risk is botulism, a potentially fatal form of food poisoning that paralyzes the body. The best way to prevent the bacteria from activating is heat and a tight seal. If a jar of pickles has a popped lid, murky color or funky odor, toss it out. With winter fast approaching, the Mussers’ garden is dormant until next spring, but that doesn’t mean they can’t pickle at any time. Beets, a cold weather crop, can be pickled until the frost hits. As Musser points out, you can pickle store-bought pickles year-round or purchase from seasonal farmers markets if you don’t want to tend a garden. Musser’s neighbor James Toshack, 32, also pickles. He’s been at it for about five years, after an overabundance of vegetables from his family’s garden led to some experimentation. He especially likes concocting relishes and sauerkraut. “I find the whole process incredibly rewarding. I don’t mind sweating a bit,” Toshack says. But the process can be daunting. Pickling can take up an entire afternoon and can grow monotonous. “We taught a friend how to pickle this year,” Musser says. “She was joking around, saying, ‘This is a full-time job.’ But I don’t think it’s that bad. I think more people would like pickling if they tried it.” n [email protected] Thai Chicken Flatbread 509 789 6800 • Davenport Tower 111 S.

Sprague • Spokane Valley SW Corner of Bowdish & Sprague • 509-891-0608 • 36 INLANDER NOVEMBER 6, 2014 artly obscured by the yellow-leaved trees edging the strip mall parking lot, it’s easy to miss the tiny gray building as traffic zips up and down the busy South Hill arterial. But those who’ve discovered Guice, a freshly made juice and smoothie stand and one of the newest additions to the city’s bustling southern edge, are likely to head back to the little gray hut for a fast and healthy snack. In September, owner Michelle Kinyon opened the juice stand in the parking lot of a retail center housing Ace Hardware, Round Table Pizza and Ferrante’s Marketplace Cafe. She ditched her job in the banking industry, hoping to provide her South Hill neighbors their recommended daily intake of fruits and veggies in a more palatable form. “I’ve seen a lot of change here the past several years, but nothing that sparks or promotes wellness,” Kinyon says of the neighborhood. “I feel like there is always that up-and-new restaurant opening, which is great… but what about that daily ‘What can I do for my body?’” And with its strategically located drivethrough stand, Kinyon is already noticing positive reception from the community. Parents on their way to drop the kids off at school can swing by for a quick morning smoothie or juice without getting the kids out of the car, she notes. The massive Southeast Sports Complex sits just across the street, and Kinyon often serves soccer players and their families who walk over for a postgame refreshment. Guice offers both smoothies and freshpressed vegetable and fruit juice blends. All of the products are organic and dairy-free, the latter a choice Kinyon made to cater to customers who may have dairy intolerance. Instead of milk or yogurt, she uses rice, coconut and almond milks. Guice offers 8 oz. kid-sized drinks ($4), but otherwise all beverages are 16 oz., ranging in price from $6.50 to $7, not including any added ingredients like wheatgrass, chia seeds, hemp protein powder or echinacea. While the stand is too small for a kitchen, Kinyon stocks it with organic snack bars ($2) and hummus and veggie togo packs ($5). While Guice features six smoothies and four juice blends on its menu, Kinyon is happy to customize a drink for customers. “You can’t really go wrong,” she says. “It doesn’t matter what you put together, it’s going to taste good.” n Guice • 4502 S.

CARRIE SCOZZARO PHOTO Complete Picture Pend d’Oreille Winery puts the finishing touches on its expansion BY CARRIE SCOZZARO W ith the opening of the Bistro Rouge Cafe, Steve and Julie Meyer’s vision for expanding their Pend d’Oreille Winery is nearly complete. When they purchased the historic Belwood building, the plan was to refurbish the building to house an expanded retail area, wine tasting room and a cafeturned-restaurant. Remodeling the Belwood building included restoring original brick, removing the creamy yellow paint from the exterior — leaving the original mural from Sandpoint Motor Company — and repurposing both glass blocks and the building’s 110-year-old flooring. The design features exposed wood and metal beams, brick and plenty of warm wood, accented by subtle drop lighting throughout. The expansion allows chef Stephanie Royer ample room to create a tasting room menu of small plates that carry over to the restaurant. Grilled asparagus with crispy lardons and cherry tomatoes capture the last of summer’s greenery ($8). The aguachile is their take on ceviche, pairing thin-sliced scallops with roasted sweet corn in an equally blistering lime-and-chile sauce ($13). You have your choice of two types of sliders ($10): pulled pork or spicy beef. Entrées include a range of proteins. Quinoa is paired with garlic, asparagus, cauliflower and cherry tomatoes topped by an egg and Parmesan crisp ($13). The “crusty clams” — potatoes, lardons and leeks in a white wine sauce served with buttery grilled baguette ($12) — are a real hit. Bistro Blanc and Bistro Rouge are available by the glass ($6), carafe ($12) or bottle ($20) and are featured in a few menu items, such as the mushrooms sautéed in Bistro Blanc finished with fresh herbs ($6). The oxtail is braised in Bistro Rouge and served on yellow quinoa ($15). The rest of the wine list ranges from reds, whites and reserves like the 2012 Zinfandel, as well as a port and the lighter Huckleberry Blush. Of course, if you discover a wine you adore, the retail area can bag it and have it ready for you to take home. n Bistro Rouge Cafe at Pend d’Oreille Winery • 301 Cedar St., Sandpoint • Open daily, 5-9 pm • www.powine.com • 208-2658545 Providence_CICU_102314_9U_RW.pdf On display will be current commissions, re-purposed furniture, artwork and more by various artists. 1900 114 W PACIFIC Slouching Toward Nirvana, Works by Matt Smith, Keegan Albrecht, Sarah Fay, Kiefer Jones, Tony Kuchar, and Rachel Palmer.

COOK TIME: 30 min. DIFFICULTY: Easy DIRECTIONS Preheat oven to 350 F. Generously season strips of beef with salt and pepper, then coat in flour. In a large, oven-safe pot or dutch oven, heat olive oil on medium-high. Add the flour-coated beef to the hot pan. Be sure not to crowd the pan; you will need to work in batches. Set browned meat aside on to a sheet pan. Once all the meat is browned and set aside, add bacon to the pot and cook until it begins to crisp, about 8-10 minutes. Add onions to the pot and begin to scrape up bits from the bottom of the pan. Cook for about 4-5 minutes then add in the Rounder Farmhouse Red Ale and continue to get all bits off the bottom of the pan (deglaze). Add in carrots, celery, and garlic and cook until liquid has reduced by half. Then add tomato paste, beef, and enough beef stock to cover the beef. Finally, add thyme and bay leaves, bring to a simmer, and then place into a 350 F oven. Check the stew after 30 minutes and add more stock if necessary. Cook the stew in the oven for a total of an hour and a half. Serve in bowls with a piece of crusty bread for dipping. INTENDED FOR THOSE 21+ downtownspokane.org \| spokanearts.org \| Brought to you by Downtown Spokane and Spokane Arts Dare to Dream Interstellar gives us hope for the future of big movies — and humanity BY MARYANN JOHANSON T his is big. It’s huge. We don’t make movies like this anymore — we hardly ever did. I’m not talking about big in the sense of budget, or even big like “epic.” We do that plenty: spend the GDP of a small nation to make men in capes fly or monsters stomp or toys sing. I’m talking big when it comes to ideas. Big when it comes to optimism. What passes for science fiction on screens big and small these days is dreary and depressing. Postapocalyptic and apprehensive. We stopped looking out and started looking down, and back, and in. We lost wonder and replaced it with worry. Which is why Interstellar is so thrilling. It is full of stirring notions of what humanity might be capable of, and follows through with the breathtaking adventure that necessarily follows. Or the adventure that necessarily follows if we chase those possibilities instead of ignoring them. It is full of enormous risk-taking in the quest for something bigger and better for all of us. It is full of hope for humanity. And that is a wonderfully refreshing thing right now. Interstellar does have looming apocalypse, yes, but that’s merely the impetus for the adventure. In the near future, nature is slowly collapsing and human structures are stagnating. But even here, a little bit of wonder and excitement can be rustled up by someone with the 40 INLANDER NOVEMBER 6, 2014 inclination for it. Our introduction to Cooper (Matthew McConaughey) comes through a chase he leads his kids on to capture a feral surveillance drone — its solar panels and other technological goodies are invaluable salvage — that’s free for the taking, since any semblance of mission control collapsed a decade back. Coop is a lonely would-be adventurer in a world that, like ours, has lost its taste for space exploration. But a few people in a NASA that has been driven underground, literally and figuratively, are maintaining the dream, including mathematician Brand (Michael Caine) and his scientist daughter Amelia (Anne Hathaway). There’s real urgency to their work, because they’ve discovered a wormhole out near Saturn that could hold the key to humanity’s salvation: a new planet to call home on the other side. It doesn’t take much for the Brands to convince Coop that a trip through the wormhole to scout for a habitable planet would satisfy both his thirst for adventure and his desire to save his children from the oncoming doom. That’s the quickest outline of the beginning of a story for which the term epic barely suffices. Director Christopher Nolan — writing once again with his brother Jonathan — could easily have expanded this into a 10-hour miniseries, as there’s so much that could have been lingered over. Yet Interstellar, at nearly three hours, certainly isn’t rushed, either. Nolan takes plenty of time for a sort of deep-space grandeur that was surely inspired by 2001: A Space Odyssey — the image of the tiny ship Coop and his small crew leave Earth in passing in front of the immensity of Saturn brought tears to my eyes, with its juxtaposition of the might of nature and the audacity of humanity. It isn’t at all unfair to see shades of 2001 INTERSTELLAR in Interstellar, not when it Rated PG-13 concerns itself with both Directed by Christopher Nolan Starring Matthew McConaughey, the most intimate of human Anne Hathaway, Jessica Chastain emotions and desires — love and survival, loneliness and despair — and the biggest of ideas: the boldness of humans as a species and the future to which we might aspire. This is a film as bold and audacious as the ideas and adventure it embraces as humanity’s destiny, never dumbing down its science and never pretending that the clash between reason and emotion isn’t something that even brilliant scientists battle in themselves. The most humanist thing about what might be the most humanist science-fiction film in ages is this: it knows that our future is in the hands of all us deeply flawed and deeply conflicted humans, but there’s still plenty of reason to hope anyway. But we do actually have to try.  FILM \| SHORTS with a BIG HERO 6 Disney’s latest CGI animated film Big Hero 6 combines WALL-E, Iron Man, and The Incredibles with a dash of The Avengers and the vaguest hint of Portal 2. If that doesn’t sound amazing, go watch Masterpiece Theatre or something. Boy genius Hiro Hamada (Ryan Potter) lives in San Fransokyo (a vibrant neon hybrid of San Francisco and Tokyo) and spends his time illegally hustling in robot fights until his brother shows him his college science lab where his buddies are making astounding inventions under the tutelage of professor Robert Callaghan (James Cromwell). To impress the professor and get into school, Hiro designs microbots, miniature robots that can be mind-controlled via a headband to do a seemingly anything the controller envisions. But after tragedy strikes, Hiro is left adrift in his mourning. Hiro accidentally activates Tadashi’s project — a marshmallow-puffy medical robot named Baymax (Scott Adsit). Together they discover Hiro’s microbots were stolen by a Kabuki mask-wearing villain who plans to use them for destruction. To stop him Hiro crafts high-powered super suits for himself, Baymax and his friends to wear. All the time, Hiro trains Baymax and the two become best buds. Rated PG — SETH SOMMERFELD ART AND CRAFT Mark A. Landis is an endlessly intriguing subject for a documentary, even if a lot of people out there hate him. Landis is arguably the most accomplished art forger ever. His fake paintings have appeared in 46 museums around the world, thanks to Landis’ meek personality and masterful ability to deceive. This film asks why he keeps doing this and also follows the man trying to send him to jail.

The guys learn a thing or two about humanity along the way.

At Magic Lantern (DN) Rated PG-13 NIGHTCRAWLER Lou Bloom (Jake Gyllenhaal) is a creepy guy with obvious psychotic tendencies.

Siblings Milo and Maggie, played by Bill Hader and Kristin Wiig, reunite after 10 years of separation and attempt to find understanding in their messy relationship.

Michael Keaton’s bummed-out movie about movies delivers big-time M ichael Keaton is going to win an Oscar for Birdman. OK, got that out of the way. Sitting down to watch this film, knowing nothing about it, I immediately got caught up in the emotions of the characters, the offbeat style of the storytelling, and the sometimes bizarre plot that saw things dipping in and out of reality and fantasy. The movie involves acting, actors’ egos, and movies versus stage plays, and it owes at least part of its emotional impact to the nasty little Raymond Carver short story What We Talk About When We Talk About Love. Michael Keaton plays Riggan, an actor who made his name by portraying a comic book superhero named Birdman (yeah, Keaton played Batman twice), then gave up the movie franchise, floundered around for a long while and is trying for a comeback, doing anything but the superhero character. That comeback, he hopes, will happen via the Broadway stage, where he’s adapting, directing and starring in a play based on that Carver story. The play is the only thing he has left to live for. But his daughter Sam (Emma Stone), fresh out of rehab and now working as his assistant, has lost faith in him. His male costar, Mike (Edward Norton), is trying to steal every scene, sometimes because of his insistence on drinking lots of vodka, not water, when the script calls for vodka.

Riggan must also deal with an inner voice, one that speaks the low, growling, unforgiving sentiments of Birdman, BIRDMAN the fictional Rated R character he Directed by Alejandro Gonzalez Inarritu Starring Michael Keaton, Edward Norton, used to play, and who Naomi Watts, Emma Stone now wants him to get off the stage and get busy resurrecting the movie franchise. The film is brimming with brilliantly constructed long takes that move characters around onstage, coast along with them through corridors and down stairways, and float with them on the streets of New York. Director Alejandro Gonzalez Inarritu (Amores Perros, Biutiful) and cinematographer Emmanuel Lubezki (Gravity) add both razzle and dazzle to the proceedings, but the sparks really fly when Keaton and Norton share scenes together, often in extreme close-up, and show what great and fearless acting is all about. This is exciting, introspective and captivating adult entertainment of the highest order. One more thing to entice or perhaps confound you: Riggan can levitate objects, including himself.  Tues 7:15 BIG HERO 6 PG Daily (2:00) 7:10 9:30 In 2D Daily (1:40) (4:10) (4:40) 6:40 9:10 Sat-Sun (11:00) (11:30) 924 W.

YOUNG KWAK PHOTO A new batch of clubs are trying to keep live country music viable in the Inland Northwest BY LAURA JOHNSON “A merica, America! … Y’all sing with me!” Nashville’s Jon Pardi yells from the Palomino Club stage Saturday night. With beers raised to the heavens, the country musicloving audience sings along to “America the Beautiful.” Pardi wraps his vocal solo with a pointed “’Merica,” as the crowd hoots and hollers. The band moves quickly into another pop-country favorite and a few couples start up their country swing dancing once more. Turn on the radio in the Inland Northwest and seemingly every other station plays pop country. The Spokane Arena already has Miranda Lambert and Jason Aldean concerts scheduled for next year. People want pop-country music, but that hasn’t exactly equated to success in the local country music club scene. There are exceptions: Post Falls’ Slab Inn has been around for decades, Spokane Valley’s Roadhouse opened two years ago, and various Eagles Clubs (which house more traditional country dances) are still going strong. But in downtown Spokane, Big City Saloon is closed for remodeling and Sergio’s Country Nights shuttered its doors in April after six years. Still, the Palomino Club opened in July in the old Center building. Just two weekends ago, Nashville North set up shop in Post Falls in what was once Big Al’s (closed in March). P roperty owner Fred Lopez sits at the bar in the dimly lit Roadhouse. It’s hours before the Halloween festivities begin, and he’s gearing up for another packed night of patrons taking on the mechanical bull and packing the dance floor for live music. “Country has always been in this area, and it will always be here,” Lopez says. Since opening in 2012, Lopez has listened to what his customers want. At first he thought the building would host country and rock, but soon it was all country. “People used to ask me, ‘What about up north?’” Lopez says. So he opened the Palomino Club. With Nashville North newly open, he says that more country bars means more interest in the scene. “I think the reason I was successful here was because Big Al’s was already there,” Lopez admits. After it sat dormant for the better part of this year, country singer Jeremy McComb and businessman Bob ...continued on next page NOVEMBER 6, 2014 INLANDER 45 MUSIC \| LOCAL SCENE “SWINGING DOORS,” CONTINUED... Kreaman bought the Big Al’s space and turned it into what they call a true Nashville honky-tonk. “I got my start at Kelly’s [the name before Big Al’s] when I was 16,” McComb says from his tour bus in West Virginia. “The place has a special place in my heart.” McComb, who left Post Falls in 2004 after landing a gig as Larry the Cable Guy’s tour manager, was soon signed in Nashville. He’s lived there 10 years, but wants his hometown to have a happening country bar like the one he grew up with. “It’s not about pandering to the audience with the mechanical bull, but it’s a real lifestyle,” McComb says. “It’s about taking the music to a different level.” Every few months, McComb’s band plans to come through the venue. He’ll send other Nashville acts that way, too. In the meantime, the resident act will be the Luke Jaxon Band. G rowing up in Spokane, country singer Luke Jaxon had trouble finding peers who liked country music. These days, people in their early 20s are coming to his shows. “I was always trying to convince people it wasn’t just for hicks,” Jaxon, 30, explains. “But now there’s an uprising in the younger generation, especially with the genre-bending country.” Even with a new generation listening to country, there were more clubs to play at just five years ago, he says: “I’d say in the last 10 years you’re seeing less live music across all types of clubs; people want DJs.” Around since 2010, his group is so popular they’re booked about a year in advance. But Jaxon isn’t satisfied simply playing the covers that dancers want in country music clubs. The band has originals, which they pepper throughout their set every night they play at Nashville North to keep things fresh. “Not everyone drives a truck; I can understand where country is not relatable,” Jaxon says. “But the songs about love and relationships, that’s where everyone can get it.” T onight at the Palomino, people are under Jon Pardi’s spell. Michael Lyngstad, 28, spins a smiling brunette with an intricate hand exchange and twirl. The “real country” guy, complete with cowboy hat, says he comes out to country music clubs because he feels comfortable there. Jessica Radke, 29, doesn’t like to dance in public — or at least she thought she didn’t until she met Lyngstad tonight. She says that even people who don’t like country music should give this type of club a chance; the dancing is exciting. Leaving the building for the night, the drunk guy standing outside in the stars-and-stripesforever cowboy hat tells the truth: “We’re all just here for the chicks.” Not so different from any other type of club in America. n [email protected] KYRS_11Year_110614_4S_KE.jpg General Shenanigans FRIDAY NOV 7TH Artist- Kelly Green Black Mountain Moan SATURDAY NOV 8TH Every Last One & The Requisite 30 Restaurants. 30 Wineries/Breweries.

The Sopranos. MTV’s Jersey Shore. Bruce Springsteen. The leader of the Everymen and native of that same Jersey shore doesn’t want to change your mind about the Garden State through his band’s bombastic, straightforward rock. He just wants to rock your ass. “Where I grew up, it was a cultural void,” he says. “On the beach, all they wanted was cover bands. If you’re not playing Journey covers, the clubs don’t want you. I had no interest. I just wanted to write tunes. At the same time, it’s the Jersey shore, so it’s a party mecca and I feel like a lot of that shit comes through in our tunes.” Indeed, the songs filling the Everymen’s latest release, Givin’ Up On Free Jazz, are bound to get a dance floor moving, even as they genre-jump all over the sonic map. There’s everything from hardcore punk on songs like “NJHC” to the Boss’ E Street Band on “A Girl Named Lou Pt. 2” to ’50s-era girl group doo-wop on “Fingers Crossed,” thanks to co-vocalist Catherine Herrick taking the lead. Put together all the power chords, horn blasts and boy-girl vocal trade-offs, and Givin’ Up On Free Jazz makes for one of the more exhilarating listens all year. Even so, life on the road for the six-member touring version of the Everymen — a lineup that grew to nine during recording — is anything but easy. Mike V. and company stuff themselves into a van, and all work day jobs from laptops as they travel. As he chats, Mike V. has just heard that two of their shows are canceled, meaning the Everymen have two unexpected days off and a long drive from North Carolina to Texas for the next show. “It sucks, man,” he says. “We’re out on the road to play shows, we’re not on vacation. It’s fun rolling around the country with your buddies, but we’d rather be playing. If we could play 50 shows in 50 nights, that would make us happy.” The band’s second trip to the West includes a return to Baby Bar, a long way from where Mike V. used to drive an hour into the Jersey woods just to get a signal from Princeton’s college radio station. He’d smoke pot with friends and write down the bands he liked. “That’s how I heard Pavement, Guided by Voices.” The Everymen’s previous Spokane stop was one of the tour’s best, he says, noting “we don’t really do so well in bigger cities. We do better in smaller towns where people just want to party and drink beers and dance.”  The Everymen • Wed, Nov. 12, at 10 pm • Free • 21+ • Baby Bar • 827 W.

As a group known for their improvisation and swing style, the ensemble welcomes Sandoval to add an Afro-Cuban element to its sound. Sandoval infuses Latin American dance lines with the focus of a seasoned virtuoso. Whitworth continues to celebrate its 125th year with pizzazz and swing, offering an evening of fun and talented musicianship. — MOLLY SMITH Whitworth Jazz Concert feat.

Spokane Falls Blvd. • snowlanderexpo.com The first piano concerto in most composers’ repertoire is not their most innovative — they want to play it safe. But as Chopin’s Piano Concerto No. 1 in E Minor is in the hands of pianist Inon Barnatan at Saturday’s Washington Idaho Symphony concert, the piece is certain to receive a coat of new glamour. Barnatan, the New York Philharmonic’s first Artist-in-Association, is known for his unfailing sensitivity on the piano, perfect for the nuances of Chopin’s work. Also on the regional orchestra’s concert program are works by Rossini and Dvorak. — LAURA JOHNSON Forgive us while we toot our own horn about this weekend’s Snowlander Expo and PowderKeg Brew Fest. New this year is a rail jam in the Convention Center breezeway — with snow trucked in just for the event. PowderKeg is also bigger and better, with 17 breweries and four cideries featured for your taste buds’ pleasure. Again, the event hosts screenings of Teton Gravity Research’s new films, lift ticket giveaways and sale prices from regional winter sports vendors. — CHEY SCOTT THEATER STAGE SHORTS If you haven’t been to a show at Stage Left, one of the local theater scene’s newer additions, the 8th annual Hit & Run short play fest is an ideal sampler. The festival features 11 plays written by playwrights from across the U.S., including five from the Spokane area: Ron Ford, Paul Ruch, Sandra Hosking, Josh Watkins and Mike Noel. Seven local directors lead 34 actors in the lineup of all comedies. One takes a humorous look at Jekyll and Hyde, and another follows the laborious decision between a couple deciding whether to update their Facebook relationship status. It’s a small space and these shows usually sell out, so advanced purchase is recommended. — CHEY SCOTT Hit & Run VIII • Fri, Nov. 7 and Sat, Nov. 8 at 7:30 pm • $10 • Stage Left Theater • 108 W.

Holiday H OM E S H OPPE NOVEMBER 6, 2014 INLANDER 53 RELATIONSHIPS Advice Goddess SCOLD RUSH AMY ALKON I try to be direct, but my girlfriend often sees this as meanness. For example, when we’re out to dinner, she sometimes takes forever to order when the server is standing right there. I’ll call her out on this — tell her she was rude to keep the guy waiting. Personally, I think it’s unhealthy in the long run to keep quiet about issues, but my girlfriend gets upset whenever I give her constructive criticism. How can I convince her that she’s being too sensitive? —Honest There are times when directness is best. Like if you’re an air traffic controller. What’s important is not that you make the pilot feel supported in his life goals but that he brings the plane to a stop on the runway instead of in some lady’s pool. But, in many non-emergency situations, being direct — like bluntly criticizing someone — is about as effective as throwing somebody a fruit basket instead of a life preserver when they’re drowning. The problem, as I explain in “Good Manners for Nice People Who Sometimes Say Fck,” is that “criticizing people doesn’t make them change; it makes them want to clobber you.” Because of a lack of software updates to our body’s ancient fight-or-flight system, we respond to a verbal attack with the same supercharged biochemical ammo we would if we were attacked by some sharp-fanged thing looking to turn our left eyeball into an after-dinner mint. You are right, by the way; your restaurant table shouldn’t start to seem like a bus stop for the waitstaff because your girlfriend’s applying Bayes’ theorem to whether she’d prefer the chicken to the pasta. But is your ultimate goal hammering her with how right you are or having a relationship? If it’s a relationship you’re after, you need to keep her fight-or-flight defensiveness from whirring into action by transforming accusations (like “You’re rude!”) into information (like reasons the term “waiting” shouldn’t be taken literally). For example, you could say, “Hey, I know you love good food and don’t want to make a bad choice at dinner. But I was thinking that when the server waits for a while at our table, he may feel we don’t respect his time, and other customers may feel neglected and leave him a crappy tip.” By asking her to sympathize with the waiter instead of telling her what a jerk she’s been, you help her stay cool enough in the head to consider potential solutions — like doing a little online menu recon before hitting the restaurant. If you both start sending criticisms up for processing to the kindness and tact department, you could get in the habit of “accepting influence” from each other — listening to each other and becoming better individually and together — a practice marriage researcher John Gottman sees in the happiest, most stable relationships. Think of this as living the dream — the one where your relationship is a safe place to expose the real you (as opposed to that dream where you’re back in 10th grade standing naked in front of the school assembly just as your mom starts reading your diary over the PA). ZERO DARK FLIRTY A female “friend” of my boyfriend’s is always leaving flirty comments on his Facebook page, and it’s making me upset and worried. He doesn’t really respond, but because he’s a guy with a girlfriend, it seems that the considerate thing for him to do would be to tell her to cool it. How can I bring this up to him in a sane way? —Disturbed Guys also say “Hello, beautiful!” to the 200-year-old grocery store cashier, and probably not because they’re angling for her to send a selfie of how she looks without her compression hose. What keeps a guy from being all “Let’s blow this timeline item and go to a motel” is whether he’s ethical and into the relationship he has. If that doesn’t describe your boyfriend, why are you still with him? If it does, instead of saying, “Hey! People are socializing with you on a website designed for socializing!” let on that you’re feeling a little worried, like by gently remarking, “That friend of yours sure is flirty” (or whatever it takes to get your worry across). Rather than trying to control him, which leads a person to rebel, you’re asking for reassurance, which should lead him to put his arms around you and explain why you have nothing to worry about. This, in turn, should get the two of you back to using Facebook as it was intended — as a place to bring people together to view videos of cats and police brutality. n ©2014, Amy Alkon, all rights reserved. • Got a problem?

I Saw You Cheers Cheers Love At First Stop Light It was about 10:00 pm this last Friday, and we were the only two cars at the stop light. I casually looked over and to my surprise you were already looking my direction. You had dark hair, dark eyes, music blasting the same station as me (Rock 94.5), and I was entranced. We exchanged multiple glances during that minute at the stoplight and a few half smiles.It was both beautiful and sad, knowing I would probably never see you again. Anyway, I hope your life was made better, as mine was, from our little stoplight romance. Farewell handsome man. was dressed in my Halloween costume while working. I walked into the restaurant you were just about to leave when you saw me and made a comment about who I was. You then walked up to me and said that it was your birthday and asked if you could get a picture with me. So we got our picture taken and then you said thank you and left. I wanted to ask you if you were single and might want to grab a drink but I got interrupted by the hostess and didn’t get to ask. Now I write this in hopes of finding you again. Email me at Halloweenmeet@hotmail. com And tell me who or what I was dressed as. like to help you. Please people, do not answer this is you are not that person. Help me find you. I live close to Spirit Lake, ID and don’t know Spokane very well. If I don’t respond to you, it would be because I didn’t get the Inlander paper, please do it again. People May Be Animals but few in the zoo are as nice as you. Thank you for the coffee. It was unexpected, but well received and made my day brighter. I tip my cup to you. Cheers! I would also like to take a moment to thank Shawn Corey Carter for putting my troubles into perspective by sharing a few concise anecdotes of the very finite number of problems he has. I understand that he wasn’t speaking directly to me, as I am not having marital trouble that would encourage fatherly sympathy, and may likely never read this. However, his words have inspired me. Now if you will excuse me I need to get that dirt off my shoulders, or perhaps I’ll just change clothes and go. A Fun Game I see you a few times a week at the YMCA in the early evenings. You are tall and have dark hair, probably somewhere in your mid-late 20’s. You are friendly and we occasionally say hi to each other, but I also have no shame admiring from you afar....talk about motivation! I think if you saw this you would know exactly who I was. Maybe some day our random “hello’s” at the gym will turn into something more. A girl can dream Beautiful Girl At Famous Eds I saw you at Famous Eds on October 17th around 3 pm. You drank tequila and club soda and were sitting in the second booth from the door. You were sitting with a very handsome man. I was wearing a black t-shirt that was v neck and I felt like we had a connection. If you want to chat and see where it goes ill be at Famous Eds November 14th 2:30 pm Please Forgive I was on my way to the McDonalds and you were shivering beside the Church on the corner of third and Howard and you asked if I had any extra money as you were shivering and in need and I said no, then went on to buy myself food for my overweighted self. Please forgive me. The next time I will do what I can. I cannot get those eyes that were seeking something warm to eat or drink, even if it was alcohol, I feel terrible.

This one is for you big sister! Remember when we were young and we would sit on your bed for hours playing go fish and gambling mom and dads pocket change away? Or when I found that stray kitten and tried hiding it from mom and dad in the trailor and you ratted me out? How about riding in sleeping bags down the stairs? Can we please plan a sister date night asap because iImisssssss you so much! Thanks for always being there for me. I love you soooo much! Love always, your little sis kels My Love! Cheers to you kitten for all you do every day to make our life together so wonderful. Since you entered my life, my heart is full of love for you, for life and believe it or not for every tomorrow I so eagerly await to spend with you. Never have I, in my entire 46 years, ever been so totally convinced that I have finally found who I am suppose to be with. You finish my sentences, and more often than not one of us begins something right about the same time the other one thinks about it. It’s uncanny how much we just complete one another. Your kisses consume my nights. Your eyes my dreams. Lastly, Tina, my love, in case you still have any doubt how much I love you, then consider that if I had to ever choose between breathing or loving you, well that would be no choice whatsoever. I would simply spend my very last breath telling you how very much I love you. I am, kitten, now and forever yours. Gregory A Great Friend Cheers to my good friend, Jennifer. She’s been my beautician for more than 20 years. She’s helped me through personal problems. She’s always in a good mood and has the personality a beautician needs. She has her problems, just like we all do, but you’d never know it. She’s always there for her patrons. You always feel better when you leave than when you arrive. Her patrons have been with her for years and love her to death. I just wanted her to know that I love and appreciate her. She is like a sister to me. Anonymous Benefactor On Sunday morning at Maggie’s Restaurant my granddaughter and I were finishing our breakfast when I asked the server for our check.

RE: Try Something Else, Idaho! CHEERS to the brilliant political satirist who wrote the “Try Something Else, Idaho” Jeers in the October 23-29 Inlander. In a letter worthy of Stephen Colbert or even Jonathan Swift, the writer pretended to be a right-wing ideologue. Using every selfrighteous, mean-spirited, namecalling conservative cliché, the writer did a marvelous send-up of ideological excess. I took it all at face value until the end, when the tongue-in-cheek line “Thank God for Fox News” gave the joke away. I haven’t seen such great political parody in years and have been chuckling ever since. Cheers to the writer for sheer cleverness.

Jeers Jeers Jeers I Don’t Get It Please help me understand something, Why do you females put up with losers they live with or married to? They work hard and the loser sits home on their ass doing nothing, they are not even good looking. Why, please tell me when there are good men out there who would want to be an actual partner. of us who work hard for our money, while the majority of the wealthy gain more wealth off the sweat of our backs. (I said the majority there are some wealthy individuals that still work hard for their money, it wasn’t given to them by daddy or mommy). When will you wake up and smell the roses. This country needs a total revamp of our leader, they need people in the government with morals, standards, and especially common sense. Not something that you learn in books in college. It’s inside us telling us what’s right and wrong and then following thru with what’s right rather than what’s going to get votes and popularity. So go vote and see what good it does. Watch this country deteriorate with every new politician you vote for, then you can have something to complain about during their term in office. in my day, but it’s more than just a tree. Where/what is our priority Spokane!!!? At this point, I can’t see it. If you’re reading this, and perhaps it moves you ..even in the smallest flicker of light, please reach out to someone you might know who can help. I feel like a helpless messenger. Pumpkin Smashers I’m 25 and have no kids with whom I celebrate Halloween, but it saddens me that every year fewer and fewer people decorate and pass out candy. Every year I put out my decorations and carve a couple pumpkins and do my part to make sure kids can still enjoy Halloween like I did when I was little. Last year and again this year, some asshole smashed the pumpkins in my yard. I have no one angry at me, I don’t have a good relationship with my neighbor but I honestly think this is a random case of someone being mean. Last year an expensive weed eater was also stolen from my backyard the night before Halloween. My fault, it should have been locked up, but it was in my gated yard in my screened porch. Live and learn unfortunately I will no longer be “doing my part” to continue a much loved holiday tradition. Kids will just have to go to churches and grocery stores to trick or treat. Dogs Barking Now I know why you sleep with your TV on - to drown out the desperate whelping of your dog. Five hours straight now. Ever heard of a muzzle? No bark collar? Training? The rest of your neighbors deserve some sleep every now and then. Why Vote? What good does it do to vote? 95% of our politicians are criminals, liars, cheats. All they truly care about is their constituents, the people who put money into their campaigns to get them elected or reelected, and lining their pockets with our money. Anyone who votes and thinks it will make a difference is ignorant and possibly blind. Every election year it gets worse and worse. Well it does for the majority Cement Nation To My Dearest Spokane Community, to the Inlander..please help. I am going to come off harsh, but who are the a$$holes who decided to chop down a 100 year old Maple tree on the corner of 7th and Monroe for “2015 Spring 7th & Monroe Street Project?” This information was recently divulged to me from my neighbor. We live on that street. That’s our shade, that’s an animals home, that’s producing oxygen, that’s a life. I realize that our “cement nation” must accommodate our hustle of daily routine, but does it really need to be taken this far? Has anyone seen the progress of Monroe? Yes! I see that the sidewalks are wider in hopes to fuel our bike friendly community...I am a biker myself... but in actuality, all they did with these sidewalks is fill the extra space with some bark and flowers! Great! Aesthetically pleasing. So you’re telling me you’re going to cut down a beautiful tree which serves many important purposes to replace it with some wood chips and some annuals flowers that won’t grow back? This is complete bull$hit. I don’t know who to reach out to. I don’t know how to save this tree except tie myself to it when Spring comes next year. I don’t have conections, except this column. I myself have been known to give a tree hug ’S THIS WEEK!

I saw you on camera, you’re lucky the dog wasn’t outside. if I ever catch you in the back yard ........... but you probably won’t read this ‘cause it won’t get you high. The Real Woman It’s important to take a good hard look at what this person is as a human being. I start by mentally taking away all the make up- mascara, lipstick, foundation, and concealer. I then take away her hair curler/blow dryer, combs, brushes, shampoo/ conditioner, and myriad of other products she dumps onto her scalp. Then I remove her heals that make her taller, the dye that makes her hair a different color, and all the jewelry and trinkets she’s using to draw attention to herself. I then mentally release her into the wilderness butt-naked, and then visualize what she looks like three months later. That’s a human being in its purest form. Imagine this girl now - this solid 7 or 8 to begin with is now an animal. Her hair looks like sh#@ and her breath could start a brush fire. That’s what you’re getting guys, if everything ever turns to sh#@ in our modern world. I break this person down for one reason. If all that was left of her was just her personality and who she was as a person - would I go to bat for this individual? Would I protect and do everything in my power to see her survive? If you took away all of her tricks for her appearance would she be worth it? If this is a modern American woman, then the answer always has been, and always will be - hell no. Men Are Dogs The guys in Spokane are dogs. The last one I had is the worst, we were together off and on for seven years. Everytime he saw a girl or woman we fought and broke up. This guy got so into meth he threw me out the door again. His dealer is a woman, of course he says he loves her like all the other women. You’re a down low life dog, grow up you’re almost 60 yrs. old. She won’t love you like I did. DENTAL Send your co mments to Editor@Inla nder.com BOOEY’S SAUCE PUTS A .

DOCTOR AWAY NOVEMBER 6, 2014 INLANDER 61 Making Tracks The railroads of the West connect father and son, past and future BY DAN NAILEN I ’d imagined how the call would go, more and more often as the years passed. It shouldn’t have been a total surprise, but I still wasn’t prepared when my cell buzzed that Monday afternoon. “Dan,” my sister blurted through tears. “I think Dad’s dead.” She was right. Twenty years after a heart attack, and five years after a bypass, my mom and nephew found him unconscious and called 911. My sister rushed home to meet them. He never woke up. That was a year ago this past Tuesday, Nov. 4. M y dad’s love of railroads was one of the ways we were different. I imagine it was a link to the home he left when he joined the Air Force one year out of high school. Memories of the rail country where he grew up on the New York-Pennsylvania border manifested in his collection of books, videos and model trains that filled our home. Post-Air Force and a few years in the defense industry, he coached baseball, organized church festivals, volunteered countless hours for his train club. He fixed anything wrong on his car himself, and loved working on his yard — more interests we didn’t share. I never had much time for any train talk, save for lessons he delivered on our road trips together. As he had joined the military partly as a means to see the world beyond Waverly, New York, I got into reporting out of a similar desire to explore and learn. And every time I moved somewhere, for college or a series of jobs in newspapers large and small across the West, my dad relished helping me relocate. He loved the opportunity to see the 62 INLANDER NOVEMBER 6, 2014 country through a windshield — especially if we happened to travel near a stretch of a rail line, offering him the chance to educate me on its origins, its history, how it tied in to the country’s larger rail system. He knew train conversation would only keep me interested for so long. Thankfully, we had John Nailen served 30 plenty of common ground for years in the Air Force. conversations that could stretch for hours as we drove from Salt Lake City to Portland, or Missoula to Corvallis, Oregon. Current events. Movies. Baseball. The important things. He turned me on to Johnny Cash’s live albums. I introduced him to James Lee Burke’s novels via books on tape. His patience for Broadway musical soundtracks never passed to me, nor my love of Diamond Dave-era Van Halen to him. T he day he died, I joined my family — now “surviving family” in obituary parlance — at the hospital after successfully navigating the hour drive by telling myself the doctors would somehow revive him while I was on the way. That didn’t happen. The word “surreal” is thrown around haphazardly, but there’s no better way to describe the experience of having a stoic police officer lead you into a hospital room where your father’s body lies, dressed in his typical-sinceretiring uniform of a flannel shirt and jeans adorned with a belt buckle paying homage to one of the railroad lines he adored. Immediately, his body just getting cold, we were asked to make decisions we had never considered. What funeral home should we call? Do we want to cremate the body? What day should we have the funeral? Decisions had to be made, right now, and the man who was the best in our family at deciding things couldn’t help. Choices hastily made through our collective numbness, we methodically pulled different bits of clothing and jewelry from his body. Wedding ring to my mother. Shoes to my nephew who lived with “Papi.” I took the belt with the Rio Grande Railroad buckle. I was just starting to contemplate moving to Spokane to join my long-distance love when he died. Even though I didn’t have a job yet, we started plotting the most scenic way to cover the hours between Utah and Eastern Washington. My mother, abruptly widowed after 54 years of marriage, insisted I keep my Spokane plan. And last month, I packed up my home of 16 years in Utah and drove. I took the route we had discussed, the one that would reacquaint him with the Montana Rail Link tracks that parallel the Clark Fork River into Missoula. And I continued on until exiting I-90 and ducking underneath the tracks bisecting Spokane — tracks my dad would have told me all about well before we reached my new home together. Instead, I was driving alone. But not really. I had The Man in Black’s Live at Folsom Prison. I had Burke’s Cadillac Jukebox on CD. And I had that Rio Grande belt buckle.  ok, so my subs really aren't gourmet and we're not french either. my subs just taste a little better, that's all!

What was the primary tank used by the United States in World War 2?	IMDb: Most Popular People With Biographies Matching "roger that" Most Popular People With Biographies Matching "roger that" 1-50 of 1,726 names. Gina Carano Gina Joy Carano was born under a tornado warning in Dallas, Texas, to parents Dana Joy (Cason) and Glenn Thomas Carano. Her father played for the Super Bowl Champion Dallas Cowboys as a backup quarterback for Roger Staubach and Danny White from 1977-1983. In 1984, he was the starting quarterback for the USFL Pittsburgh Maulers. Gina's parents divorced when she was a child, but her father remained involved in her upbringing and is her biggest fan. Gina is of three sixteenths Italian descent, and her other roots include English, Scottish, Dutch, and German. The middle child of three close-knit girls, Casey being a year older and Christie, the youngest, Gina is their self-proclaimed bodyguard and highly protective of them. All three girls were star athletes in high school. Growing up in Las Vegas, Gina, a natural born athlete and rambunctious tomboy, studied gymnastics, jazz, tap, ballet, rode horses, whooped up on her male cousins for fun at family gatherings, and wrestled and played football with the neighborhood boys. She graduated from Trinity Christian High School in Las Vegas, Nevada, where she excelled in the volleyball, softball and basketball teams, the latter she helped secure a state title. Her collegiate studies include the University of Nevada, Reno where she attended one year, and the University of Nevada, Las Vegas for three where she was offered positions on both the softball and basketball teams. Her academic goal was a degree in psychology, but with only a few credits remaining she dropped everything in order to help her older sister through a crisis. At the age of 21, Gina began training in Muay Thai, a form of Kickboxing, with Master Toddy at the suggestion of then boyfriend Kevin Ross . In pursuit of a life-changing experience he ended up at a local Las Vegas Muay Thai Gym and she tagged along. A trainer approached her, telling her point blank that she was fat and needed to lose weight. She weighed around 175 lbs. and had no direction at that point in her life. She began training and became addicted. Master Toddy saw potential in the way Gina handled herself. She took naturally to fighting with strong punches, deadly elbows and knees, a impressive overhand right, and rib-cracking hard kicks. Immersing herself completely in the sport, she advanced quickly. Months later she found herself in a "fight club" situation in San Francisco where she took on any female fighter plopped down in front of her. Since then, she hasn't looked back. Initially, because of her pretty face, spectators refused to take her seriously as a fighter. It is a bias that has haunted her throughout her fighting career. Gina, who is openly laughed at, insulted, and ridiculed in front of crowds before fights, realizes she will have to cowgirl up in order to silence her taunters and she lets her fists do the talking. Her Muay Thai career is comprised of an impressive 12 wins, 1 loss, and 1 draw and she becomes the first American woman to win a title in Thailand. The 2005 cult film Ring Girls follows Gina and her trainer, Master Toddy during her early Muay Thai career. Because of her beauty, spunk, and tenacity she developed a significant fan following. In June 2006, Gina's success in Muay Thai brings her to the attention of Jamie Levine of World Extreme Fighting in the world of Mixed Martial Arts. He offers her a fight against Leiticia Pestova who holds a MMA record of 11 wins and 2 losses. It is to be the first-ever sanctioned female MMA bout in the state of Nevada. Levine is impressed with Gina's statuesque size. Standing at 5'8" and 155 lbs., which is the starting weight class for men, she isn't a frail little girl and has power in her kicks comparable to a man. Still in its infancy, and because of its vicious nature, a lot of people were teetering on the fence about women fighting in MMA. Levine believed gender didn't matter and he wanted to give the two women a nationwide platform to show what they could do. Gina, under the moniker "Conviction", trained relentlessly for the history-making bout, weighing in at a muscular 135 pounds. She does not disappoint her fans, winning the fight in explosive ground-and-pound action in the 38th second of the first round. Critics begin to whine that Gina is receiving preferential treatment based on her striking good looks and that her talents as a fighter are less than stellar. She uses these criticisms as fuel for her next bout against British fighter Rosi Sexton. in September 15, 2006. Sexton, a cerebral fighter with a mathematics degree from Cambridge and over 10 years of martial arts experience, possesses a 6-0 MMA record. Many believe Carano will go down in flames but, with six seconds left to go in the second round, Gina knocks Sexton out with a jaw dropping and show stopping overhand right. In December 2006, she faced Elaina Maxwell in what was their second fight against each other, the first time being in a Muay Thai bout. The fight went 3 rounds and showcased Gina's powerful overhand right and improved grappling skills. She won the unanimous decision. February 10, 2007 -- In what is billed the "Fight of the Night" and the first televised female fight on Showtime, she faced Julie Kedzie . Kedzie, who was once arrested with a group of 300 nuns at a protest, is a feisty brawler known for overpowering her opponents in the clench. She has a record of 8 wins and 4 losses. The exciting fight, an amazing stand-up brawl, goes the distance with Gina knocking Kedzie flat at the end of the second round. Kedzie, a scrappy fighter, refused to give in, taking Carano down in the third round in a submission attempt. Carano rallied, winning the unanimous decision. The appreciative crowd gave both fighters a roaring standing ovation. Julie and Gina became training partners and good friends and remain so to this day. Gina's popularity skyrockets and she is crowned "The Face of Women's MMA" a title she doesn't particularly care for since it detracts from other women in the sport. Her image is everywhere. Critics, some of them other female fighters, complain that she is using sex appeal to further her career, that she is compensating for something she is lacking in the ring, that what she is doing is disrespectful to the sport, but fans can't seem to get enough of the imposing brunette. Men fall in love with her. Little girls and women find her an inspirational combination of beauty, strength, and power. Everyone is taken in by her shy smile and laid back, good-natured personality. Gina, who believes the image of a powerful, feminine woman is something to be celebrated, is baffled by the criticisms and humbled by the attention and support from her fans. She wins her next two fights -- In September 2007 against Tonya Evinger, a wrestling champion, via rear naked choke -- Gina's first submission -- and in May 2008 against Kaitlin Young although Gina had to forfeit a little over 12% of the purse to keep the fight on the card. She failed to make EliteXC's newly created 140 lb. weight class. Most MMA organizations have the featherweight division at 145 lbs. (65.8 kg.) Coming into the fight with only a three-week training camp, Carano weighed in at 144.5 lbs. (65.5 kg.) In spite of everyone's dire predictions, she dominates and the fight is stopped at the end of the second round. Gina wins by TKO. June 2008. More criticism : A sportswriter reporting on the Carano vs. Young fight voices his suspicion that Gina's opponents must be handpicked to make sure of the outcome and that she is too pretty to fight. He finds women fighting in the MMA an unpleasant experience but concludes that she is quite the asset. 2008 -- Gina reluctantly joins the cast of American Gladiators . She had reservations about running around in itty-bitty superhero spandex, but the show's producers pursued her and finally convinced her to sign on. She becomes known as "Crush" and cultivates a whole new fan base. She also appears as "Natasha", a Soviet Commando and Sniper, in the video game "Command & Conquer: Red Alert 3". MMA Legend Randy Couture , who Gina trains with, also appears. Critics are oddly silent on Couture 'going Hollywood', using his sex appeal, or being 'too pretty' to be in the video game. October 2008 -- Gina causes an unintentional frenzy at the weigh-in for the fight against Kelly Kobold. She has only fought once in the past year and there is speculation that she will not be able to make weight. Gina had hired a nutritionist to help with her diet, but at the weigh-in, she failed to make weight on her first two attempts. Gina, who has stated she will never pose naked for "Playboy" or any publication, boldly strips off all her clothes for the third attempt. Photographers shoved and tripped over each other trying to obtain the Holy Grail of photos, a bare naked Gina Carano. Severely dehydrated and towel-shielded from the cameras, she successfully makes weight at 141 pounds. Her father is one of the men holding up towels. October 5, 2008 -- With a 16-2-1 record, 6 wins by knockout and 8 by submission, Kelly Kobold vows to make Gina Carano the broken, bruised and bloodied face of MMA. Instead, it is Gina who bloodied Kobold's face with a severe gash over the right eye. Gina unleashed killer kicks and knees and wins the fight. She remained undefeated and lovingly dedicated the win to her grandfather. 2009 -- She and fellow MMA athletes Kevin 'Kimbo Slice' Ferguson and Maurice Smith dabbled in the Hollywood scene with small but memorable cameos in the Michael Jai White film Blood and Bone . Gina also appears on the cover of "ESPN The Magazine - The Body Issue". Posing mostly topless she shows off an impressive set of abdominals, amazing legs, and invokes more criticism. August 15, 2009 -- Gina makes history again by becoming the first female fighter to earn $100,000 for a fight. She faced Brazilian Cristiane "Cyborg" Santos in the first Women's Championship. The championship was scheduled for 5 rounds, each lasted 5 minutes -- Another first. In a hard fought battle, she loses in a heartbreaker by TKO at the bell at the end of the first round. But on January 6, 2012, revelations come to light. The California State Athletic Commission announced that Santos had tested positive for steroids after a December 2011 fight. It throws suspicion on the legitimacy of all of Cyborg's wins, including her win against Gina. Cyborg is suspended for one year, received a $2,500 fine. Gina, though hurt and disappointed, remained gracious and supportive of her sister fighter. A Carano vs. Cyborg rematch would be a huge MMA event but it is unlikely that Gina will ever return to the sport that made her a superstar. Classified by the Unified Women's MMA Rankings as the third best 145 lb (66 kg.) female fighter in the world, her current MMA record stands at 7 wins and 1 loss. It was after that devastating loss, black eye and all, that a deflated Gina met with Academy Award winning director Steven Soderbergh for lunch in San Diego. He had seen her fight earlier on CBS and dreamed of building a film around her. Immediately he was struck with her presence and intriguing mix of muscular power and eye-catching femininity. Inspired, he wrote the role of Mallory Kane specifically for her although she is nothing like the unsmiling, structured, alpha female character. Soderbergh assembled an impressive cast and all heaped praise on the fighter and aspiring actress. Channing Tatum , a huge fan of Gina's and the MMA, immediately signed on when he learned she was involved in the project. Ewan McGregor , having no clue who Gina Carano was, studied many of her fights on YouTube. Initially horrified by the violence of the sport, he with met with her and was taken with how quiet, gentle and thoughtful she was out of the ring. He recalls hurting his hand when he accidentally punched Gina in the head during the film's final climatic fight scene. Gina, completely unaffected by the punch and worried she had injured the actor, immediately popped to her feet and asked if he was okay. Antonio Banderas found Gina to be beautiful, natural and real and believes she has a career in front of her. Michael Fassbender , who Gina now considers a mentor, thought her extraordinary and was impressed with her work ethic. Michael Douglas , who topped out the A-list cast, heralded Gina's self-control. Gina is proud to have been a pioneer in Women's MMA, for kicking down barriers and inspiring and paving the way for the next wave of female fighters. She recently joined the 87Eleven Stunt team, the same team that propelled her to star status with their work on Haywire . With film projects like Fast & Furious 6 , In the Blood and rumors of Wonder Woman flying around, Gina Carano has found her niche in the Action Heroine film market. Her newest challenge as an athlete -- To cross over into film successfully. Nicholas Hoult Nicholas Caradoc Hoult was born in Wokingham, Berkshire, England to parents Glenis and Roger Hoult.

Steven Spielberg Undoubtedly one of the most influential film personalities in the history of film, Steven Spielberg is perhaps Hollywood's best known director and one of the wealthiest filmmakers in the world. Spielberg has countless big-grossing, critically acclaimed credits to his name, as producer, director and writer. Steven Allan Spielberg was born in 1946 in Cincinnati, Ohio, to Leah Frances (Posner), a concert pianist and restaurateur, and Arnold Spielberg , an electrical engineer who worked in computer development. His parents were both born to Russian Jewish immigrant families. Steven spent his younger years in Haddon Township, New Jersey, Phoenix, Arizona, and later Saratoga, California. He went to California State University Long Beach, but dropped out to pursue his entertainment career. He gained notoriety as an uncredited assistant editor on the classic western Wagon Train . Among his early directing efforts were Battle Squad (1961), which combined World War II footage with footage of an airplane on the ground that he makes you believe is moving. He also directed Escape to Nowhere , which featured children as World War Two soldiers, including his sister Anne Spielberg , and The Last Gun , a western. All of these were short films. The next couple of years, Spielberg directed a couple of movies that would portend his future career in movies. In 1964, he directed Firelight , a movie about aliens invading a small town. In 1967, he directed Slipstream , which was unfinished. However, in 1968, he directed Amblin' , which featured the desert prominently, and not the first of his movies in which the desert would feature so prominently. Amblin' also became the name of his production company, which turned out such classics as E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial . Spielberg had a unique and classic early directing project, Duel , with Dennis Weaver . In the early 1970s, Spielberg was working on TV, directing among others such series as Rod Serling 's Night Gallery , Marcus Welby, M.D. and Murder by the Book . All of his work in television and short films, as well as his directing projects, were just a hint of the wellspring of talent that would dazzle audiences all over the world. Spielberg's first major directorial effort was The Sugarland Express , with Goldie Hawn , a film that marked him as a rising star. It was his next effort, however, that made him an international superstar among directors: Jaws . This classic shark attack tale started the tradition of the summer blockbuster or, at least, he was credited with starting the tradition. His next film was the classic Close Encounters of the Third Kind , a unique and original UFO story that remains a classic. In 1978, Spielberg produced his first film, the forgettable I Wanna Hold Your Hand , and followed that effort with Used Cars , a critically acclaimed, but mostly forgotten, Kurt Russell \\ Jack Warden comedy about devious used-car dealers. Spielberg hit gold yet one more time with Raiders of the Lost Ark , with Harrison Ford taking the part of Indiana Jones. Spielberg produced and directed two films in 1982. The first was Poltergeist , but the highest-grossing movie of all time up to that point was the alien story E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial . Spielberg also helped pioneer the practice of product placement. The concept, while not uncommon, was still relatively low-key when Spielberg raised the practice to almost an art form with his famous (or infamous) placement of Reece's Pieces in "E.T." Spielberg was also one of the pioneers of the big-grossing special-effects movies, like "E.T." and "Close Encounters", where a very strong emphasis on special effects was placed for the first time on such a huge scale. In 1984, Spielberg followed up "Raiders" with Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom , which was a commercial success but did not receive the critical acclaim of its predecessor. As a producer, Spielberg took on many projects in the 1980s, such as The Goonies , and was the brains behind the little monsters in Gremlins . He also produced the cartoon An American Tail , a quaint little animated classic. His biggest effort as producer in 1985, however, was the blockbuster Back to the Future , which made Michael J. Fox an instant superstar. As director, Spielberg took on the book The Color Purple , with Whoopi Goldberg and Oprah Winfrey , with great success. In the latter half of the 1980s, he also directed Empire of the Sun , a mixed success for the occasionally erratic Spielberg. Success would not escape him for long, though. The late 1980s found Spielberg's projects at the center of pop-culture yet again. In 1988, he produced the landmark animation/live-action film Who Framed Roger Rabbit . The next year proved to be another big one for Spielberg, as he produced and directed Always as well as Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade , and Back to the Future Part II . All three of the films were box-office and critical successes. Also, in 1989, he produced the little known comedy-drama Dad , with Jack Lemmon and Ted Danson , which got mostly mixed results. Spielberg has also had an affinity for animation and has been a strong voice in animation in the 1990s. Aside from producing the landmark "Who Framed Roger Rabbit", he produced the animated series Tiny Toon Adventures , Animaniacs , Pinky and the Brain , Freakazoid! , Pinky, Elmyra & the Brain , Family Dog and Toonsylvania . Spielberg also produced other cartoons such as The Land Before Time , We're Back! A Dinosaur's Story , Casper (the live action version) as well as the live-action version of The Flintstones , where he was credited as "Steven Spielrock". Spielberg also produced many Roger Rabbit short cartoons, and many Pinky and the Brain, Animaniacs and Tiny Toons specials. Spielberg was very active in the early 1990s, as he directed Hook and produced such films as the cute fantasy Joe Versus the Volcano and An American Tail: Fievel Goes West . He also produced the unusual comedy thriller Arachnophobia , Back to the Future Part III and Gremlins 2: The New Batch . While these movies were big successes in their own right, they did not quite bring in the kind of box office or critical acclaim as previous efforts. In 1993, Spielberg directed Jurassic Park , which for a short time held the record as the highest grossing movie of all time, but did not have the universal appeal of his previous efforts. Big box-office spectacles were not his only concern, though. He produced and directed Schindler's List , a stirring film about the Holocaust. He won best director at the Oscars, and also got Best Picture. In the mid-90s, he helped found the production company DreamWorks, which was responsible for many box-office successes. As a producer, he was very active in the late 90s, responsible for such films as The Mask of Zorro , Men in Black and Deep Impact . However, it was on the directing front that Spielberg was in top form. He directed and produced the epic Amistad , a spectacular film that was shorted at the Oscars and in release due to the fact that its release date was moved around so much in late 1997. The next year, however, produced what many believe was one of the best films of his career: Saving Private Ryan , a film about World War Two that is spectacular in almost every respect. It was stiffed at the Oscars, losing best picture to Shakespeare in Love . Spielberg produced a series of films, including Evolution , The Haunting and Shrek . he also produced two sequels to Jurassic Park , which were financially but not particularly critical successes. In 2001, he produced a mini-series about World War Two that definitely was a financial and critical success: Band of Brothers , a tale of an infantry company from its parachuting into France during the invasion to the Battle of the Bulge. Also in that year, Spielberg was back in the director's chair for A.I. Artificial Intelligence , a movie with a message and a huge budget. It did reasonably at the box office and garnered varied reviews from critics. Spielberg has been extremely active in films there are many other things he has done as well. He produced the short-lived TV series SeaQuest 2032 , an anthology series entitled Amazing Stories , created the video-game series "Medal of Honor" set during World War Two, and was a starting producer of ER . Spielberg, if you haven't noticed, has a great interest in World War Two. He and Tom Hanks collaborated on Shooting War , a documentary about World War II combat photographers, and he produced a documentary about the Holocaust called Eyes of the Holocaust . With all of this to Spielberg's credit, it's no wonder that he's looked at as one of the greatest ever figures in entertainment. January Jones January Kristen Jones was born in Sioux Falls, South Dakota, but for the first decade of her life, she was raised in Hecla, a small town of some 400 souls, in the Mount Rushmore State. She is the daughter of Karen Sue (Cox), a sporting goods store manager, and Marvin Roger Jones, a gym teacher and fitness director. She was named after January Wayne, a character in Jacqueline Susann 's potboiler Once Is Not Enough . She is of Czech, Danish, English, Welsh, and German ancestry. January worked at the All-American job of counter girl at Dairy Queen after school. The family eventually moved back to Sioux Falls, the largest city in South Dakota. After graduating from Roosevelt High School in Sioux Falls, she moved to New York City to become a model. Despite her stature (5'6", which is short for a fashion model), she got modeling gigs, including Abercrombie & Fitch ads, because of her striking good looks. However, modeling was just a means to an end, to get out of South Dakota and avoid going to college. She got her first taste of acting from TV commercials and found that she had flair for it, even though she did not act in high school and had no training. January appeared in a couple of television pilots and a cable television series before making her big screen debut in All the Rage , an indie that never got a real release. She followed it up with a small role in the teen thriller The Glass House . Her actual debut in the sense of attracting attention was in the near silent role of the beauty who entices Jane Fonda 's son, Troy Garity , in the Bruce Willis - Cate Blanchett - Billy Bob Thornton comedy Bandits . It was not a career-making part. At the time the movie was released, she was ending a three-year relationship with Ashton Kutcher . Small roles followed, including a "don't blink or you won't see me" part in the Adam Sandler - Jack Nicholson comedy Anger Management . She gained some career traction with a good role in another comedy, American Wedding , a sequel to American Pie . Until she landed the part on Mad Men , which made its debut on AMC in 2007, her career was steady but undistinguished. "I choose roles that are not me", January has said. The role of Betty Draper has garnered her two Golden Globe nominations and an Emmy nomination as Best Actress. Her cool, Grace Kelly -ish blonde ice queen looks -- counterpointed by her soul burning in her bright blue eyes -- have established her as a retro icon of the 21st Century.

Joey has spoken to many schools and Boys and Girls Clubs on the importance of making a positive difference in the world, even if you are young. She attends and contributes to many charities and you can often find her helping her grandmother deliver food to the elderly through Meals on Wheels when she is not working.

Kaya Scodelario Kaya Rose Scodelario was born in Haywards Heath, Sussex, England, to a Brazilian mother, Katia (Scodelario), and an English father, Roger Humphrey. Her surname comes from her mother's Italian grandfather. Thanks to her mother, Kaya grew up fluent in Brazilian Portuguese, as well as English. At the age of fourteen, she auditioned for Skins , the debut series for new channel E4 that would become known for casting real teenagers like her, who had no professional acting experience, rather than experienced adult actors. She won the role of "Effy Stonem" and joined the show in January 2007. After an challenging debut in which she never spoke, Scodelario and Effy made quite an impression on viewers. At the forefront of many disasters, including stalkers, death, and sexual pressures, Effy became a fan favorite for her ability to resolve testing life situations while keeping her head above water. As the character and the role grew, Scodelario enjoyed depicting what she described as the realistic trials and challenges Effy faced with friendships, relationships, and adolescence. After two seasons of Skins , the series endured an overhaul at the end of 2007. Feeling that most of the characters had run their course, the writers wrote out every character except Effy. This put significantly more pressure on Scodelario because it meant that she would be the most recognizable face for season three. As she waited for the new season of Skins to begin, she took advantage of her recent clout to seek out additional career opportunities. She joined the elite agency Models 1 and soon was featured as the cover model for SuperSuper Magazine. She also made her feature film debut with a role in the 2009 film Moon , starring Sam Rockwell as an astronaut suffering from surreal encounters while on the moon. With a blossoming film career and her successful TV series to fall back on, Kaya Scodelario is certainly someone to watch. Ian McShane Ian McShane was born in Blackburn, Lancashire, England, to parents Irene (Cowley) and Harry McShane, a soccer player for Manchester United. His father was Scottish and his mother was of English and Irish descent.

From a lawless saloon owner to the sexiest of beastly British mobsters, award-winning actor Ian McShane has, time and time again, captured the public's attention (as well as many plaudits, including from the Hollywood Foreign Press), by playing bad guys, scoundrels and thieves.

Most notably, in 2004, McShane exploded onto the small screen as Al Swearengen on HBO's Deadwood for which he earned the coveted Best Actor in a Television Drama Golden Globe Award.

Anna grew up in Santa Fe, New Mexico after her parents transplanted the family from Cleveland, Ohio to the Southwest in the late seventies. She discovered acting in a drama class at the Santa Fe Preparatory School and was fortunate to study with two formidable teachers from the Actor's Studio as a teenager.

Portia de Rossi Portia de Rossi was born and raised in Geelong, Australia. Originally born Amanda Rogers, at 15 she changed her name to Portia, saying that it was the most daring thing she had ever done up until that point. After graduating from high school, she attended the University of Melbourne, and studied law. Although she studied diligently, in 1993, Portia found herself giving special notice to a casting director who saw her in a commercial, and she soon auditioned for Sirens , a low budget comedy starring Hugh Grant . She was cast in the role of Giddy, one of the three gorgeous models in the movie. It wasn't until 1997, however, that Portia at last began to attract real attention. She turned an unforgettable role as Murphy in Scream 2 , and in 1998 she joined the cast of Ally McBeal as the "Ice Queen", Nelle Porter. She has also worked on such projects as Stigmata , Girl , and The Invisibles , and she has appeared on several magazine covers, including Shape. After more than a decade of hard work, Portia is finally beginning to win real recognition, not only for her long golden tresses, but also for her wonderful talent.

He went on to study at the Royal Conservatoire of Scotland in Glasgow, where he graduated from in 2007. In November 2010, the Belfast Metropolitan College honored Morgan with an Award of Distinction for his contribution to the Arts.

Next, he will be portraying the central role of the Irish revolutionary mastermind Seán Mac Diarmada in the Easter Rising centenary commemoration film The Rising (2017). Traci Lords Traci Lords is a study of a determined and complex woman with a very controversial background. She was born and raised in Ohio as Nora Louise Kuzma, to Patricia Louise (Kuzma) and Louis Kuzma. She moved with her divorced mother and three sisters to Los Angeles at age 12. While staying at the house of her mother's boyfriend, Roger, she began nude modeling at age 15, then adult films a year later. An incredibly developed, full-figured girl, she easily duped photographers, producers and directors (with the help of a false birth certificate and driver's license). Her stage name is a combination of Traci, from a former school friend, and Lords, in honor of her favorite male actor, Jack Lord ( Hawaii Five-O ). She later owned a white Persian cat named Mr. Steve McGarrett, the name of the character Lord played on the show. Traci made somewhere between 80 and 100 X-rated movies (some consisted mostly of leftover footage from previous shoots) between 1984 and 1986. In May 1986 she was arrested by FBI agents when it was discovered she was underage, which meant that any films with her in them were illegal to rent or buy, and video stores around the country rushed to remove them. The only legal porn movie Traci made was Traci, I Love You , which was filmed in Paris, France, on her 18th birthday. Since she controlled distribution rights, many people believed she orchestrated the revelation herself so she could be the only one to profit from her X-rated career. Many within the adult film industry made a tacit agreement to never promote Traci or talk about her, as they felt she betrayed the industry that had had been the source of her fame in the first place. The federal government tried to prosecute the producers of the movie Those Young Girls , the first adult film Traci appeared in, for child pornography. However, the case fell apart when the government admitted that it, too, had been duped when Lords traveled to Europe to shoot Traci, I Love You on a fake passport. After her exile from adult films, she began to resurrect her life and fulfill her lifelong ambition to star in "mainstream" films. In 1987 she enrolled in the Lee Strasberg acting school, began voice lessons and built on her natural acting talents. Her first mainstream "break" came in Not of This Earth , a remake of the classic Roger Corman sci-fi film from the 1950s. It was the last time that Traci would bare her breasts for the camera. Throughout the 1990s her hard work got her a reputation as a reliable and respected actress, in addition to being a singer and an advocate for gay rights. Her recurring role in early 1995 as a sneering sociopath, Rikki, on Melrose Place was critically acclaimed and landed her more roles in other movies, playing villains and psychotic characters. In the latter half of the 1990s she appeared in several B movies that went straight to video and/or cable in lead, minor or cameo roles. She even guest-starred in a number of TV shows ranging from Married with Children , Roseanne , MacGyver and Nash Bridges . She has always despised being referred to as "an ex-porn star", and resents the fact that a celebrity like Tim Allen can be forgiven by Hollywood for past transgressions (he was convicted and served prison time selling drugs while he was in college) but she still to this day bears the stigma of her porn years. It's probably the fantasy of the underage girl who fooled an entire industry, and, at the height of her career, was unquestionably the most popular actress with fans and filmmakers alike. Some of her most notable TV work was as a regular on season 2 of Profiler from 1997 to 1998 in playing the schizo-sicko serial killer Sharon Lesher, as well as the tough heroine Jordan Radcliffe during the last season of the sci-fi series First Wave from 2000 to 2001. She most recently has written her autobiography, published in 2003, and even tried her hand in writing and directing a short film which would lead her to another career as a writer-director of independent films. Ray Stevenson Tall, dark, but somewhat gentle-looking actor Ray Stevenson was born in Lisburn, Northern Ireland on 25 May 1964, on a British army base. His father was a British pilot in the Royal Air Force, and his mother is Irish. He moved with his family to Lemington, Newcastle-Upon-Tyne, England in 1972 at the age of eight, and later to Cramlington, Northumberland, where he was raised. As a child, he dreamed to become an actor, but he also thought that dream was impossible. So he pursued his other love, art, and went to art school instead. He was an interior designer with an architectural firm in London when he at 25 decided to try out acting. Eventually he attended Bristol Old Vic Theatre School, graduating at the age of 29. At the beginning of 90s, he began his career on films. He did a few TV films, one of them is The Return of the Native (1994), where he appeared opposite Clive Owen, Catherine Zeta-Jones and Steven Mackintosh. He also filmed The Theory of Flight (1998) Greenwich Mean Time (1999), Green-Eyed Monster (2001) (TV) and a lot of TV guest roles in series. Finally, he made a international breakout with King Arthur (2004), as quiet, but loyal knight Dagonet, again with Clive Owen (who played Arthur), Keira Knightley, Ioan Gruffudd, Mads Mikkelsen, Ray Winstone and Stellan Skarsgard. After a few more TV films, Stevenson's popularity started to rise by each film. But, his real fame came with HBO's "Rome" (2005 - 2007), as funny, but heroically fearless legionary Titus Pullo, opposite Kevin McKidd. Another two well-known roles were in the action horror Outpost (2008) and as comic book dark hero The Punisher / Frank Castle in the extremely violent Punisher: War Zone (2008), opposite Dominic West (Jigsaw), Doug Hutchison, Colin Salmon, Wayne Knight (Microchip), Dash Mihok (Det. Marin Soap) and Julie Benz. Stevenson also worked on the stage where he played the part of Christ in the York Mystery Plays in 2000 at York Minster. In 2001, he took the part of Roger in the play Mouth to Mouth by Kevin Elyot, at the Albery Theatre in London with Lindsay Duncan and Michael Maloney. His most well-known part is perhaps that of the Cardinal in The Duchess of Malfi by John Webster with Janet McTeer at the Royal National Theatre in 2003. Ray was married to actress Ruth Gemmell from 1997 to 2005. His girlfriend Elisabetta Caraccia have a son, Sebastiano Derek Stevenson, who was born in 2007. Besides acting, he loves art and has a passion for water color painting. Bridgit Mendler Bridgit Claire Mendler was born in Washington DC, and lived there until she was eight years old.

Natasha Alam Born in Tashkent, Uzbekistan, Natasha, Russian abbreviation for Natalia, attended school at the University of Technology for Aviation. In search of independence, Natasha moved to Moscow to model under "Red Stars" model management.

Bette Davis Ruth Elizabeth Davis was born April 5, 1908, in Lowell, Massachusetts, to Ruth Augusta (Favor) and Harlow Morrell Davis, a patent attorney. Her parents divorced when she was 10. She and her sister were raised by their mother. Her early interest was dance. To Bette, dancers led a glamorous life, but then she discovered the stage, and gave up dancing for acting. To her, it presented much more of a challenge. After graduation from Cushing Academy, she was refused admittance to Eva Le Gallienne 's Manhattan Civic Repertory. She enrolled in John Murray Anderson 's Dramatic School and was the star pupil. She was in the off-Broadway play "The Earth Between" (1923), and her Broadway debut in 1929 was in "Broken Dishes". She also appeared in "Solid South". Late in 1930, she was hired by Universal, where she made her first film, called Way Back Home . When she arrived in Hollywood, the studio representative who went to meet her train left without her because he could find no one who looked like a movie star. An official at Universal complained she had "as much sex appeal as Slim Summerville " and her performance in The Bad Sister didn't impress. In 1932, she signed a seven-year deal with Warner Brothers Pictures. Her first film with them was Seed . She became a star after her appearance in The Man Who Played God , known as the actress that could play a variety of very strong and complex roles. More fairly successful movies followed, but it was the role of Mildred Rogers in RKO's Of Human Bondage that would give Bette major acclaim from the film critics. She had a significant number of write-in votes for the Best Actress Oscar, but didn't win. Warner Bros. felt their seven-year deal with Bette was more than justified. They had a genuine star on their hands. With this success under her belt, she began pushing for stronger and more meaningful roles. In 1935, she received her first Oscar for her role in Dangerous as Joyce Heath. In 1936, she was suspended without pay for turning down a role that she deemed unworthy of her talent. She went to England, where she had planned to make movies, but was stopped by Warner Bros. because she was still under contract to them. They did not want her to work anywhere. Although she sued to get out of her contract, she lost. Still, they began to take her more seriously after that. Returning after losing her lawsuit, her roles improved dramatically. In 1938, Bette received a second Academy Award nomination for her work in Jezebel opposite the soon-to-be-legendary Henry Fonda . The only role she didn't get that she wanted was Scarlett O'Hara in Gone with the Wind . Warners wouldn't loan her to David O. Selznick unless he hired Errol Flynn to play Rhett Butler, which both Selznick and Davis thought was a terrible choice. It was rumored she had numerous affairs, among them George Brent and William Wyler , and she was married four times, three of which ended in divorce. She admitted her career always came first. She made many successful films in the 1940s, but each picture was weaker than the last and by the time her Warner Brothers contract had ended in 1949, she had been reduced to appearing in such films as the unintentionally hilarious Beyond the Forest . She made a huge comeback in 1950 when she replaced an ill Claudette Colbert in, and received an Oscar nomination for, All About Eve . She worked in films through the 1950s, but her career eventually came to a standstill, and in 1961 she placed a now famous Job Wanted ad in the trade papers. She received an Oscar nomination for her role as a demented former child star in What Ever Happened to Baby Jane? . This brought about a new round of super-stardom for generations of fans who were not familiar with her work. Two years later, she starred in Hush...Hush, Sweet Charlotte . Bette was married four times. In 1977 she received the AFI's Lifetime Achievement Award and in 1979 she won a Best Actress Emmy for Strangers: The Story of a Mother and Daughter . In 1977-78 she moved from Connecticut to Los Angeles and filmed a pilot for the series Hotel , which she called Brothel. She refused to do the TV series and suffered a stroke during this time. Her last marriage, to actor Gary Merrill , lasted ten years, longer than any of the previous three. In 1985, her daughter Barbara Davis ("B.D.") Hyman published a scandalous book about Bette called "My Mother's Keeper." Bette worked in the later 1980s in films and TV, even though a stroke had impaired her appearance and mobility. She wrote a book, "This 'N That", during her recovery from the stroke. Her last book was "Bette Davis, The Lonely Life", issued in paperback in 1990. It included an update from 1962 to 1989. She wrote the last chapter in San Sebastian, Spain. Sadly, Bette Davis died on October 6, 1989, of metastasized breast cancer, in Neuilly-sur-Seine, Hauts-de-Seine, France. Many of her fans refused to believe she was gone. Dylan McDermott A Golden Globe winner and Emmy nominee, Dylan McDermott has proved his talent in film, television and theater. He was born Mark Anthony McDermott in Waterbury, Connecticut, to Diane (Marino) and Richard McDermott. Diane was 15 and Richard was 17 when Dylan was born. Richard earned money by hustling pool. Dylan is of Italian (from his maternal grandfather), Irish, English and French descent. During Dylan's early years, his parents separated. In 1967, when Dylan was five, his mother was murdered by her live-in boyfriend. The murder was initially ruled an accidental shooting occurring while her boyfriend cleaned his gun, but police reopened the case in 2012 and revealed evidence showing it was impossible for her death to be have been accidental. Dylan and his sister Robin, who was then six months old, were taken in by their grandmother, Avis (Rogers) Marino. When Dylan was 15, his father met and married playwright/activist Eve Ensler . Eve adopted Dylan. Eve encouraged him to go to acting school and Fordham University in New York City. He met his now ex-wife, Shiva Rose , at a coffee shop in Venice, California, on the same day he got a big acting break by being cast in the film In the Line of Fire with Clint Eastwood . As a result of his connection with Eastwood, Dylan attended a dinner honoring Clint. There, he met Jeffrey Kramer , a man who used to frequent a bar where Dylan had earlier worked. Kramer was, at that time, the president of David E. Kelley Productions. He asked Dylan to meet David E. Kelley for a then-upcoming series about lawyers, The Practice , and the rest was history. Another mentor of Dylan is Joanne Woodward , who discovered him while he was doing workshops at the Neighborhood Playhouse. The series earned him a Golden Globe in 1999 and nominations in 2000 and 2001, as well as an Emmy nomination in 1999. Mimi Rogers It's fair to say that after 20 years and over 50 film appearances, Mimi Rogers should be praised for her variety of roles and acting capabilities, not for a brief marriage to a Hollywood star. In the early 1980s she began to carve a niche for herself in Hollywood, appearing on television and in films. It was her role in Someone to Watch Over Me that got her noticed and was her springboard to stardom. Cemented by a marriage to Tom Cruise , an already established young actor, Mimi went on to appear in Hider in the House , Desperate Hours , and The Doors . She appeared in a controversial movie analyzing religion in America, The Rapture , which proved a hit and delighted audiences, creating many a debate over the film's subject material. She played a bored telephone exchange operator who swaps a sinful life of sex and swinging with other couples for a devout religious one, ending unexpectedly in disaster. Despite her successes, few meaty, interesting roles came her way in the '90s. Shooting Elizabeth , opposite Jeff Goldblum , the family movie Monkey Trouble , Far from Home: The Adventures of Yellow Dog , and Full Body Massage were just a few of the films that she appeared in. Working consistently, she rejuvenated her career in the unexpected hit Austin Powers: International Man of Mystery , playing Miss Kensington, an attractive female agent of 1960s London and the mother of Elizabeth Hurley 's character. Next, Mimi was seen in the big-screen remake of the '60s sci-fi TV series Lost in Space and several guest appearances on the hugely popular television series The X-Files , playing a scheming FBI agent. A role in the Canadian indie-horror Ginger Snaps did her career no harm. Soon, she was opposite Geena Davis in The Geena Davis Show from 2000-01 and playing an extremely rich Manhattan socialite in the direct-to-video Cruel Intentions 2 . More recently Mimi has appeared on cable television, including leading roles in Charms for the Easy Life (which she also executive produced) and Cave In (a true-life disaster drama in which she played the Chief Superintendent of a mine). In 2004, she gave a revealing performance in The Door in the Floor , a critical success. The Loop , a Chicago-based sitcom, will soon be airing in America, featuring Mimi as a flirtatious office worker. Also in 2006, Mimi will be appearing in an original horror film, Penny Dreadful , playing a psychiatrist in peril. In 2003, she married her longtime partner Chris Ciaffa , with whom she has a son and a daughter. A poker novice, Mimi also travels around competing in tournaments, some televised. Sam Shepard Sam Shepard was born Samuel Shepard Rogers in Fort Sheridan, Illinois, to Jane Elaine (Schook), a teacher, and Samuel Shepard Rogers, a teacher and farmer who was also in the army. As the eldest son of a US Army officer (and WWII bomber pilot), Shepard spent his early childhood moving from base to base around the US until finally settling in Duarte, California. While at high school he began acting and writing and worked as a ranch hand in Chino. He graduated high school in 1961 and then spent a year studying agriculture at Mount San Antonio Junior College, intending to become a vet. In 1962, though, a touring theater company, the Bishop's Company Repertory Players, visited the town and he joined up and left home to tour with them. He spent nearly two years with the company and eventually settled in New York where he began writing plays, first performing with an obscure off-off-Broadway group but eventually gaining recognition for his writing and winning prestigious OBIE awards (Off-Broadway ) three years running. He flirted with the world of rock, playing drums for the Holy Modal Rounders, then moved to London in 1971 where he continued writing. Back in the US by 1974, he became playwright in residence at San Francisco's Magic Theater and continued to work as an increasingly well respected playwright throughout the 1970s and into the '80s. Throughout this time he had been dabbling with Hollywood having, most notably in the early days, worked as one of the writers on Zabriskie Point , but it was his role as Chuck Yeager in 1983's The Right Stuff that brought him fully to the attention of the wider, non-theater audience. Since then he has continued to write, act and direct, both on screen and in the theater. Keith Carradine It seems the second generation of acting Carradines -- David, Keith and Robert -- are proudly continuing the family tradition and begetting a third generation of talent. The dynasty began with veteran Hollywood patriarch John Carradine , the son of a surgeon and a correspondent for the Associated Press. Keith was a child, born of John's second marriage to actress Sonia Sorel . Lanky, laid-back and highly likable, Keith Ian Carradine was born in San Mateo, California, on August 8, 1949. His parents divorced when Keith was six. Following in the footsteps of older half-brother and mentor David Carradine , Keith studied theater arts at Colorado State University in Fort Collins, Colorado, but dropped out after only one semester to pursue his career. Soon after, he auditioned for "Hair" in Los Angeles and made his Broadway debut in the 1969 rock musical, playing the role of Claude for an extended period of time. Keith next appeared with his father in a stage production of "Tobacco Road" (1970) in Florida. The following year Keith broke into films with a part in the Kirk Douglas / Johnny Cash western A Gunfight . Legendary director Robert Altman was quite taken by Keith's work in the film and gave him a part in his own movie McCabe & Mrs. Miller , which sparked the first of many endeavors together. Keith also made a strong showing on TV, making his mini-movie debut with Man on a String , and appearing with brother David in the TV movie pilot and various episodes of the cult series Pilot as the teenage version (seen in flashbacks) of David's character Kwai Chang Caine. Keith continued to impress in Altman's films. He played one of three convicts in the critically-acclaimed movie Thieves Like Us , but scored Oscar gold with his next Altman film, Nashville -- not with his acting but with his songwriting. His composition "I'm Easy" won both the Oscar and Golden Globe for "Best Song". Keith also earned a Grammy nomination in 1976 for his contribution to "Nashville" in the "Best Original Score Written for a Motion Picture or Television Special" category. Keith first association with Altman's protégé, Alan Rudolph , occurred filming Welcome to L.A. , to which he again contributed his music talent. Keith's rangy handsomeness and low-keyed acting style were on full display as he increased his popularity with appearances in such films as Ridley Scott 's The Duellists ; Louis Malle 's first American film, the visually-striking Pretty Baby , that made a controversial star out of young Brooke Shields ; and the comedy/romance An Almost Perfect Affair . One acting trick that worked was pairing all three Carradine brothers in The Long Riders , which recalled the infamous lives of brothers Cole, Jim and Bob Younger, and boasted three other sets of acting brothers (Keach, Quaid and Guest) as various other outlaw siblings. Keith's acting reviews throughout much of his career would be decidedly mixed -- some would find his unassuming, introspective acting too listless while others found it beautifully realized and understated. Many of his best notices came from the Altman and Rudolph films, appearing in two of Rudolph acclaimed 80s works -- Choose Me and The Moderns . He also persevered on TV with award-worthy work. His role in the mini-series Chiefs netted an Emmy nomination, while his recurring role as Wild Bill Hickok in Deadwood earned a Golden Satellite nomination and his work in the made-for-TV-film Half a Lifetime scored a CableACE nomination. Regular series work came late in his career, starring in Fast Track , Outreach and Complete Savages , all of which were short-lived. Keith's career was revitalized on the 80s and 90s stage. In addition to strong roles in "Another Part of the Forest" (1982) and "Detective Story" (1984), he won the Outer Critics Circle Award for his excellent work in 1982's "Foxfire" opposite Jessica Tandy and Hume Cronyn _ and then roped a Tony and Drama Desk nomination as humorist Will Rogers in the Broadway musical "The Will Rogers Follies" (1991). Most recently (2005) he starred in the American premiere of David Hare 's satire "Stuff Happens" as none other than George W. Bush while expounding on the 2003 invasion of Iraq. Keith has been married twice. Of his two children born from his first union to actress Sandra Will , who played opposite him in the film Choose Me , son Cade Carradine recently portrayed Lord Oxford in the film Richard III and daughter Sorel Carradine has been seen on TV. Keith and Sandra eventually divorced and he married actress Hayley DuMond in 2006; they met while appearing in the film The Hunter's Moon . Keith's daughter Martha Plimpton , a highly gifted actress on her own, was a child from his relationship to actress Shelley Plimpton , whom he met when both were cast members in "Hair" back in 1969.

Dean Cain Dean Cain was born Dean George Tanaka in Mount Clemens, Michigan, to actress Sharon Thomas Cain and Roger Tanaka. His mother married his adoptive father, director Christopher Cain , when Dean was three. Though he grew up in Malibu and attended Santa Monica High School, his career plans favored professional football over acting. While at Princeton, he completed a history major, dated Brooke Shields for two years, and set an NCAA record for interceptions in a season. After signing with the Buffalo Bills, a knee injury ended his pro career before it began. Though he had already played a part in his father's The Stone Boy , he went through the usual route of commercials and tv-parts (notably, Beverly Hills, 90210 in 1990) before landing his break-through role as Superman/Clark Kent in the series Lois & Clark: The New Adventures of Superman . Roger Moore Roger Moore will perhaps always be remembered as the man who replaced Sean Connery in the James Bond series, arguably something he never lived down. Roger George Moore was born on October 14, 1927 in Stockwell, London, England, the son of Lillian (Pope) and George Alfred Moore, a policeman. He first wanted to be an artist, but got into films full time after becoming an extra in the late 1940s. Moore also served in the British military during the Second World War. He came to America in 1953. Suave, extremely handsome, and an excellent actor, he got a contract with MGM . His initial foray met with mixed success, with movies like Diane and Interrupted Melody , as well as The Last Time I Saw Paris . Moore went into television in the 1950s in shows like Ivanhoe and The Alaskans , but probably got the most recognition from Maverick , as cousin Beau. In 1962, he got his big breakthrough, at least internationally, as The Saint . The show made him a superstar and he became very successful thereafter. Moore ended his run as the Saint, and was one of the premier stars of the world, but he was not catching on in America. In an effort to change this, he agreed to star with Tony Curtis in ITC's The Persuaders! , but although hugely popular in Europe, it did not catch on in the United States and was canceled. Just prior to making the series, he starred in the dark The Man Who Haunted Himself , which proved there was far more to Moore than the light-hearted roles he had previously accepted. Next, he was offered and accepted the role of James Bond, and once audiences got used to the change of style from Connery's portrayal, they also accepted him. Live and Let Die , his first Bond movie, grossed more outside of America than Diamonds Are Forever ; Connery's last outing as James Bond. He went on to star in another six Bond films, before bowing out after A View to a Kill in 1985. He was 57 at the time the film was made and was looking a little too old for Bond - it was possibly one film too many. In between times, there had been more success with appearances in films such as That Lucky Touch , Shout at the Devil , The Wild Geese , Escape to Athena and ffolkes . Despite his fame from the Bond films and many others, the United States never completely took to him until he starred in The Cannonball Run alongside Burt Reynolds , a big hit there. After relinquishing his role as Bond, his work load tended to diminish a little, though he did star in the American box office flop Fire, Ice & Dynamite , as well as the comedy Bullseye! , with Michael Caine . He did the overlooked comedy Bed & Breakfast , as well as the television movie The Man Who Wouldn't Die , and then the major Jean-Claude Van Damme flop The Quest . Moore then took second rate roles such as Spice World , and the American television series The Dream Team . Although his film work may have slowed down, he is still very much in the public eye, be it appearing on television chat shows or hosting documentaries. Roger Moore was created a Commander of the Order of the British Empire on 31 December 1998 in the New Year Honours list for services to UNICEF and on 14 June 2003, in the Queen's Birthdays honors, was promoted to Knight Commander of the same order his services to the charities UNICEF and Kiwanis International.

Richard Attenborough Lord Richard Attenborough was born in Cambridge, England, the son of Mary (née Clegg), a founding member of the Marriage Guidance Council, and Frederick Levi Attenborough, a scholar and academic administrator who was a don at Emmanuel College and wrote a standard text on Anglo-Saxon law. Attenborough was educated at Wyggeston Grammar School for Boys in Leicester and at the Royal Academy of Dramatic Art (RADA). His film career began with a role as a deserting sailor in In Which We Serve , a part that contributed to his being typecast for many years as a coward in films like Dulcimer Street , Operation Disaster and his breakthrough role as a psychopathic young gangster in the film adaptation of Graham Greene 's novel, Brighton Rock . During World War II, Attenborough served in the Royal Air Force. He worked prolifically in British films for the next 30 years, and in the 1950s appeared in several successful comedies for John Boulting and Roy Boulting , including Private's Progress and I'm All Right Jack . Early in his stage career, Attenborough starred in the London West End production of Agatha Christie 's "The Mousetrap", which went on to become one of the world's longest-running stage productions. Both he and his wife were among the original cast members of the production, which opened in 1952 and (as of 2007) is still running. In the 1960s, he expanded his range of character roles in films such as Seance on a Wet Afternoon and Guns at Batasi , for which he won the BAFTA Award for Best Actor for his portrayal of the regimental Sergeant Major. He appeared in the ensemble cast of The Great Escape , as Squadron Leader "Roger Bartlett" ("Big X"), the head of the escape committee. In 1967 and 1968, he won back-to-back Golden Globe Awards in the category of Best Supporting Actor, the first time for The Sand Pebbles , starring Steve McQueen , and the second time for Doctor Dolittle , starring Rex Harrison . He would win another Golden Globe for Best Director, for Gandhi , in 1983. Six years prior to "Gandhi", he played the ruthless "Gen. Outram" in Indian director Satyajit Ray 's period piece, The Chess Players . He has never been nominated for an Academy Award in an acting category. He took no acting roles following his appearance in Otto Preminger 's The Human Factor , until his appearance as the eccentric developer "John Hammond" in Steven Spielberg 's Jurassic Park . The following year, he starred as "Kris Kringle" in Miracle on 34th Street , a remake of the 1947 classic. Since then, he has made occasional appearances in supporting roles, including the historical drama, Elizabeth , as "Sir William Cecil". In the late 1950s, Attenborough formed a production company, "Beaver Films", with Bryan Forbes and began to build a profile as a producer on projects, including The League of Gentlemen , The Angry Silence and Whistle Down the Wind , also appearing in the first two of these as an actor. His feature film directorial debut was the all-star screen version of the hit musical, Oh! What a Lovely War , and his acting appearances became more sporadic - the most notable being his portrayal of serial killer "John Christie" in 10 Rillington Place . He later directed two epic period films: Young Winston , based on the early life of Winston Churchill , and A Bridge Too Far , an all-star account of Operation Market Garden in World War II. He won the 1982 Academy Award for Directing for his historical epic, Gandhi , a project he had been attempting to get made for many years. As the film's producer, he also won the Academy Award for Best Picture. His most recent films, as director and producer, include Chaplin , starring Robert Downey Jr. as Charles Chaplin , and Shadowlands , based on the relationship between C.S. Lewis and Joy Gresham. Both films starred Anthony Hopkins , who also appeared in three other films for Attenborough: "Young Winston", "A Bridge Too Far" and the thriller, Magic . Attenborough also directed the screen version of the hit Broadway musical, "A Chorus Line" ( A Chorus Line ), and the apartheid drama, Cry Freedom , based on the experiences of Donald Woods . He was nominated for a Golden Globe Award for Best Director for both films. His most recent film as director was another biographical film, Grey Owl , starring Pierce Brosnan . Attenborough is the President of RADA, Chairman of Capital Radio, President of BAFTA, President of the Gandhi Foundation, and President of the British National Film and Television School. He is also a vice patron of the Cinema and Television Benevolent Fund. He is also the patron of the UWC movement (United World Colleges), whereby he continually contributes greatly to the colleges that are part of the organization. He has frequented the United World College of Southern Africa(UWCSA) Waterford Kamhlaba. His wife and he founded the "Richard and Sheila Attenborough Visual Arts Center". He also founded the "Jane Holland Creative Center for Learning" at Waterford Kamhlaba in Swaziland in memory of his daughter, who died in the Tsunami on Boxing Day, 2004. He passionately believes in education, primarily education that does not judge upon color, race, creed or religion. His attachment to Waterford is his passion for non-racial education, which were the grounds on which Waterford Kamhlaba was founded. Waterford was one of his inspirations for directing Cry Freedom , based on the life of Steve Biko. He was elected to the post of Chancellor of the University of Sussex on 20 March 1998, replacing the Duke of Richmond and Gordon. A lifelong supporter of Chelsea Football Club, Attenborough served as a director of the club from 1969-1982 and, since 1993, has held the honorary position of Life Vice President. He is also the head of the consortium, "Dragon International", which is constructing a film and television studio complex in Llanilid, Wales, often referred to as "Valleywood". In 1967, he was made a Commander of the Order of the British Empire (CBE). He was knighted in 1976 and, in 1993, he was made a life peer as Baron Attenborough, of Richmond-upon-Thames in the London Borough of Richmond upon Thames. On 13 July 2006, Attenborough and his brother, David Attenborough , were awarded the titles of Distinguished Honorary Fellows of the University of Leicester "in recognition of a record of continuing distinguished service to the University". Lord Attenborough is also listed as an Honorary Fellow of Bangor University for his continued efforts to film making. Attenborough has been married to English actress Sheila Sim , since 1945. They had three children. In December 2004, his elder daughter, Jane Holland, as well as her daughter Lucy and her mother-in-law, also named Jane, were killed in the tsunami caused by the Indian Ocean earthquake. A memorial service was held on 8 March 2005, and Attenborough read a lesson at the national memorial service on 11 May 2005. His grandson, Samuel Holland, and granddaughter, Alice Holland, also read in the service. Attenborough's father was principal of University College, Leicester, now the city's university. This has resulted in a long association with the university, with Lord Attenborough a patron. A commemorative plaque was placed on the floor of Richmond Parish Church. The university's "Richard Attenborough Centre for Disability and the Arts", which opened in 1997, is named in his Honor. His son, Michael Attenborough , is also a director. He has two younger brothers, the famous naturalist Sir David Attenborough and John Attenborough, who has made a career in the motor trade. He has collected Pablo Picasso ceramics since the 1950s. More than 100 items went on display at the New Walk Museum and Art Gallery in Leicester in 2007; the exhibition is dedicated to his family members lost in the tsunami. Kim Novak Kim Novak was born in Chicago, Illinois on February 13, 1933 with the birth name of Marilyn Pauline Novak. She was the daughter of Joseph Novak, a former teacher turned transit clerk and his wife, Blanche Kral Novak, also a former teacher. Throughout elementary and high school, Kim did not get along well with teachers. She even admitted that she didn't like being told what to do and when to do it. Her first job, while in high school, was modeling teen fashions for a local department store. Kim, an avid painter, won a scholarship to the Art Institute of Chicago, but ended up going to Wright Junior College instead. While on a break from school, Kim and two of her classmates decided to go to Los Angeles and stand in line to be an extra in a movie called The French Line . An agent took notice of Kim's striking beauty arranged for a screen test with Columbia Pictures, and Kim was signed to a contract. After taking some acting lessons, Kim made her film debut in the detective drama Pushover with Fred MacMurray , followed by the comedy Phffft with Jack Lemmon and Judy Holliday . These two films set the tone for her career, and she had so much poise that most people had no idea she was only 21. As a result, the studio continued to pair Kim with fatherly older actors. Kim received a Golden Globe nomination for "Most Promising Newcomer" in 1955, and had big parts in three films released that year, first appearing as "Kay Greylek" in 5 Against the House . Her next role was in the controversial Otto Preminger film The Man with the Golden Arm , which was a big hit. Then came Picnic , Kim's breakthrough film. Kim did a superb job of acting in the film as did her costars, and now fans were eager to see more of this bright and beautiful new star. In 1957, Kim played "Linda English" in the hit movie Pal Joey with Frank Sinatra and Rita Hayworth . The film did well at the box-office, but was condemned by the critics. Kim really didn't seem that interested in the role. She even said she couldn't stand people such as her character. In 1958, Kim appeared in the Alfred Hitchcock film Vertigo , which, though poorly received at the time of its release, is now considered a classic. The film was one in which a retired detective, played by James Stewart , follows a suicidal blonde half his age (Kim), only to find out Kim was only masquerading as that person and is actually a brunette shop girl who duped him as part of an elaborate scheme. Kim's other film that year, the supernatural comedy Bell Book and Candle , was a modest success, but her follow-up, Middle of the Night , was not in spite of drawing good reviews. Unfortunately, the hype that Columbia generated for Kim never materialized, and her career began to fade in the early 1960s as the studio system came to an end. She was being overpowered by the rise of new stars or stars that were remodeling their status within the film community. Kim said she didn't have it in herself to campaign for good roles like other actors did, so she took the best of what she was offered. She starred in the ensemble romantic drama Strangers When We Meet , which moderately successful. With a few more nondescript films between 1960 and 1964, she landed the role of "Mildred Rogers" in the remake of Of Human Bondage opposite Laurence Harvey . The film debuted to mostly negative reviews and was not a success. Later that same year, she co-starred in the Billy Wilder sex satire Kiss Me, Stupid with Dean Martin , but the film drew intensely hostile reviews and condemned by many civic groups, causing its studio to distance itself from the film. In 1965, Kim played the title role in the comedy The Amorous Adventures of Moll Flanders , and married her co-star, Richard Johnson . The marriage only lasted 13 months, but they remained friends. Kim stepped away from the cameras for a while, returning in 1968 to star in The Legend of Lylah Clare . The film only had a limited release and was a resounding flop. Though still young, Kim said she basically didn't see herself as having a career after that. Following The Great Bank Robbery , Kim took another four-year hiatus until 1973, when she was seen in a television film called The Third Girl from the Left , a romantic drama, and appeared in a segment of the British horror anthology film Tales That Witness Madness . Kim's next appearances on the screen were a leading role in the television film Satan's Triangle and a cameo in the Charles Bronson western The White Buffalo . Kim ended the 1970s by appearing in Just a Gigolo with David Bowie . The film was a critical and commercial failure. Opening the 1980s, Kim did gain some attention for the mystery/thriller The Mirror Crack'd , but it did nothing for her career. For the rest of the decade, Kim was out of movies and only had a few television gigs. In 1983, Kim appeared in the ensemble TV movie, Malibu . She had a cameo role in the pilot episode of the short-lived Alfred Hitchcock Presents redux in 1985. From 1986 to 1987, Kim played the mysterious "Kit Marlowe" in 19 episodes of the TV series Falcon Crest . In 1990, Kim starred in The Children , and gave a great performance in a leading role opposite Ben Kingsley . However, the film had a very limited release. Kim's last film to date was 1991's Liebestraum , in which she played a terminally ill woman with a past. The film was a major disappointment in every aspect, and making it was an especially unhappy experience for Kim, who clashed with director Mike Figgis over how to play her character. Kim hasn't acted since then, and admittedly never reached her potential. Although she has regrets about her career, she has ruled out any plans for a comeback. Kim says she just isn't cut out for a Hollywood life. Fortunately, Kim's personal life has been the contrary to her career. Since 1976, Kim has been happily married to Robert Malloy, a veterinarian who shares her passion for animals and nature. Kim and her husband live on a ranch in Oregon where they raise llamas and horses, and frequently go canoeing. Kim is also an accomplished artist who expresses herself in oil paintings and sculptures. Roger Corman Roger William Corman was born April 5, 1926, in Detroit, Michigan. Initially following in his father's footsteps, Corman studied engineering at Stanford University but while in school, he began to lose interest in the profession and developed a growing passion for film. Upon graduation, he worked a total of three days as an engineer at US Electrical Motors, which cemented his growing realization that engineering wasn't for him. He quit and took a job as a messenger for 20th Century Fox, eventually rising to the position of story analyst. After a term spent studying modern English literature at England's Oxford University and a year spent bopping around Europe, Corman returned to the US, intent on becoming a screenwriter/producer. He sold his first script in 1953, "The House in the Sea," which was eventually filmed and released as Highway Dragnet . Horrified by the disconnect between his vision for the project and the film that eventually emerged, Corman took his salary from the picture, scraped together a little capital and set himself up as a producer, turning out Monster from the Ocean Floor . Corman used his next picture, The Fast and the Furious , to finagle a multi-picture deal with a fledgling company called American Releasing Corp. (ARC). It would soon change its name to American-International Pictures (AIP) and with Corman as its major talent behind the camera, would become one of the most successful independent studios in cinema history. With no formal training, Corman first took to the director's chair with Five Guns West and over the next 15 years directed 53 films, mostly for AIP. He proved himself a master of quick, inexpensive productions, turning out several movies as director and/or producer in each of those years--nine movies in 1957, and nine again in 1958. His personal speed record was set with The Little Shop of Horrors , which he shot in two days and a night. In the early 1960s he began to take on more ambitious projects, gaining a great deal of critical praise (and commercial success) from a series of adaptations of Edgar Allan Poe stories, most of them starring Vincent Price . His film The Intruder was a serious look at racial integration in the South, starring a very young William Shatner . Critically praised and winning a prize at the Venice Film Festival, the movie became Corman's first--and, for many years, only--commercial flop. He called its failure "the greatest disappointment in my career." As a consequence of the experience, Corman opted to avoid such direct "message" films in the future and resolved to express his social and political concerns beneath the surface of overt entertainments. Those messages became more radical as the 1960s wound to a close and after AIP began re-editing his films without his knowledge or consent, he left the company, retiring from directing to concentrate on production and distribution through his own newly formed company, New World Pictures. In addition to low-budget exploitation flicks, New World also distributed distinguished art cinema from around the world, becoming the American distributor for the films of Ingmar Bergman , Akira Kurosawa , Federico Fellini , François Truffaut and others. Selling off New World in the 1980s, Corman has continued his work through various companies in the years since--Concorde Pictures, New Horizons, Millenium Pictures, New Concorde. In 1990, after the publication of his biography "How I Made A Hundred Movies in Hollywood And Never Lost A Dime"--one of the all-time great books on filmmaking--he returned to directing but only for a single film, Roger Corman's Frankenstein Unbound With hundreds of movies to his credit, Roger Corman is one of the most prolific producers in the history of the film medium and one of the most successful--in his nearly six decades in the business, only about a dozen of his films have failed to turn a profit. Corman has been dubbed, among other things, "The King of the Cult Film" and "The Pope of Pop Cinema" and his filmography is packed with hundreds of remarkably entertaining films in addition to dozens of genuine cult classics. Corman has displayed an unrivaled eye for talent over the years--it could almost be said that it would be easier to name the top directors, actors, writers and creators in Hollywood who DIDN'T get their start with him than those who did. Among those he mentored are Francis Ford Coppola , Ron Howard , Martin Scorsese , Jack Nicholson , James Cameron , Robert De Niro , Peter Bogdanovich , Joe Dante and Sandra Bullock . His influence on modern American cinema is almost incalculable. In 2009 he was honored with an Academy Award for Lifetime Achievement. Jesse McCartney Born April 9, 1987 in Ardsley, New York, to Ginger and Scot McCartney, Jesse began his career in theater with a national revival tour of The King and I with Hayley Mills (1997/98), and a notable New York Production of A Christmas Carol (1998) with Roger Daltrey. Jesse got the part of 'Adam Chandler Jr.' on the show All My Children for which he would eventually Emmy nominations in 2001 and 2002. After a brief stint in a children's musical group Sugar Beats, and later in teen boy band Dream Street, Jesse was signed as a solo artist to Hollywood Records. He released his first full length album on September 28, 2004. His song, "Beautiful Soul" was an instant hit and the album of the same title was certified platinum on February 24, 2005. His Departure album yielded another smash single, "Leavin'," landing him a #1 spot on the charts and was Top 40 Radio's most played song of of the year. His next single "How Do You Sleep" also charted in the top 10 in the following year. His songwriting credits include co-writing the smash "Bleeding Love" for singer Leona Lewis, which was a #1 hit in 34 countries; the only song in over a decade to achieve this status. It also won ASCAP's song of the year and was nominated for a Grammy Award. In addition to starring in Keith, which won five international film festival awards, McCartney's film credits include the Tribeca Film Festival's darling Beware The Gonzo (opposite Ezra Miller) and Oren Peli's Chernobyl Diaries. McCartney has voiced numerous animated characters for films, video games, and television series including all of the Alvin and the Chipmunks films, Horton Hears a Who, Kingdom Hearts, and Cartoon Network's Young Justice. McCartney played lead role of 'Bradin Westerly' in the TV series Summerland, which ran for two years on The WB (now The CW). He also landed the lead in the pilot Locke and Key for Fox, based on Joe Hill's graphic novels of the same name. Other major TV credits include Fear The Walking Dead, Major Crimes, Greek, Law & Order SVU, and CSI: Las Vegas as well as a lengthy stint in the cast of Army Wives as 'Private Tim Truman.' Jesse currently resides in Los Angeles. Bradley Steven Perry In 2007, Perry began his professional acting career at the age of 8 with small roles in the films Choose Connor, and Magnificent Max. The following year, he made his television debut with a guest-starring role on the CBS crime-drama Without a Trace. Over the next year, Perry continued to appear in small comedic roles in such films as The Goods: Live Hard, Sell Hard, Opposite Day, and Old Dogs. In 2010, Perry landed a starring role on the Disney Channel family sitcom Good Luck Charlie. On the series, Perry plays the intelligent and scheming Gabe Duncan, the third of five siblings in the Duncan family alongside fellow Disney veterans Jason Dolley and Bridgit Mendler. In 2011, Perry landed a co-starring role in the Disney Channel original movie Sharpay's Fabulous Adventure opposite Ashley Tisdale. In the film, Perry played Roger Elliston III, a precocious young dog owner and Sharpay's rival, competing to get his dog a starring role on Broadway JoBeth Williams The product of a musical family, Margaret JoBeth Williams was born in Houston, Texas, to Frances Faye (Adams), a dietitian, and Fredric Roger Williams, a wire/cable company manager and opera singer. Her father encouraged her early interest in theater during high school. She made her professional debut at age 18 in a Houston-based musical production, then studied at Brown University in Providence, Rhode Island, with the intentions of becoming a child psychologist. The acting bug hit her again, however, and she decided to pursue theater after receiving her B.A. in English in 1970. Working intensely to lose her Texas twang, her early training came as a member of the Trinity Repertory Company, where she stayed for two-and-a-half years. In New York the lovely Jobeth became a daytime regular in the mid-1970s on both Somerset and in a vixenish role on Guiding Light before making a brief but memorable impact in a highly popular film at the end of the decade. In the Dustin Hoffman starring film Kramer vs. Kramer , Jobeth plays Hoffman's gorgeous sleepover who gets caught stark naked by his young, precocious son ( Justin Henry ) the following morning. She also impressed on the stage with major roles in "Moonchildren" and "A Coupla White Chicks Sitting Around Talking." Her star maker would could in the form of the strong-willed mother of three who fights to save her brood from home-invading demons in Steven Spielberg 's humongous critical and box-office hit Poltergeist , which also made a major star out of movie husband Craig T. Nelson . Officially in the big leagues now, she joined the star ensemble cast of The Big Chill , and appeared opposite Nick Nolte in Teachers . Disappointing outcomes in the lackluster sequel Poltergeist II: The Other Side and the intriguing but overlooked American Dreamer prodded her to search for more challenging work on TV. It is the small screen, in fact, that has particularly shown off the range of Jobeth's talent over the years, particularly in domestic drama. Cast in some of the finest TV-movies served up, Jobeth won deserved Emmy nominations for her real-life mother of an ill-fated missing child in Adam and real-life surrogate mother in Baby M . Other monumental mini-movie efforts include her nurse in the apocalyptic drama The Day After ; her magnetic performance opposite Terry Kinney as an adulterous worshiper and minister who carry out plans to kill their respective spouses in the gripping suspense show Murder Ordained ; alcoholic James Woods ' long-suffering wife in My Name Is Bill W. ; a social worker trying to reach a deaf girl in Breaking Through ; and the overbearing mother whose son turns to drugs in Trapped in a Purple Haze . She continues to balance both film and TV projects into the millennium. Behind the scenes she was nominated for an Academy Award for her directorial debut of Showtime's On Hope and continues to seek out other directing projects. It doesn't hurt being married to a director for encouragement. She and John Pasquin , who directed her in the film Jungle 2 Jungle and on the short-lived TV series Payne , have two children. More recent film roles include playing Drew Barrymore 's mom in Fever Pitch . Christy Carlson Romano Television + Film Romano has had a long relationship with Disney ABC Television Group by starring in hit series and movies for the Disney Channel and ABC Family including: Cadet Kelly, The Even Stevens franchise, Campus Confidential, Taking Five, The Cutting Edge 2: Going for the Gold, and The Cutting Edge 3: Chasing the Dream.

Sid Haig Tall, bald and nearly always bearded, Sid Haig has provided hulking menace to many a low-budget exploitation film and high-priced action film. Sid Haig was born Sidney Eddie Mosesian on July 14, 1939 in Fresno, California, a screaming ball of hair. His parents, Roxy (Mooradian) and Haig Mosesian, an electrician, were of Armenian descent. Sid's career was somewhat of an accident. He was growing so fast that he had absolutely no coordination. It was decided that he would take dancing lessons, and that's when it all began. At the age of seven, he was dancing for pay in a children's Christmas Show, then a revival of a vaudeville show... and on it went. Sid also showed a musical inclination, particularly for the drums. So, when his parents got tired of him denting all the pots and pans in the house, they bought him a drum set. The music was in him and he took to it immediately, a born natural. First it was swing, then country, then jazz, blues and rock 'n' roll. Sid always found it easy to make money with his music, and did very well. One year out of high school and signing a recording contract is not too bad. Sid went on to record the single "Full House" with the T-Birds in 1958. However, back while he was in high school, Sid got bitten by the "acting bug". Alice Merrill was the head of the drama department at that time and gave him all the encouragement in the world to pursue an acting career. The clincher came in his senior year. The way that the senior play was cast was that she would double cast the show, then have one of her friends from Hollywood come up and pick the final cast. You see, Merrill was quite famous as an actress on Broadway and kept up her contacts in the business. When the appointed day came, the "friend" that showed up was Dennis Morgan , a big musical comedy star from the 1940s. The rest is history -- he picked Sid for the role, then two weeks later came back to see the show and told Sid that he should continue his education down south and consider acting as a career path. Two years later, Sid enrolled in the world famous Pasadena Playhouse, the school that trained such actors as Robert Preston , Robert Young , Gene Hackman , Dustin Hoffman , and so on. After two years of "actor's hell" (non-stop 7:00am to 11:00pm with homework thrown in just for the fun of it), it was time to move on to the big "H", Hollywood! Sid did so with longtime friend and roommate Stuart Margolin (Angel on The Rockford Files ). Sid's first acting job was in Jack Hill 's student film at UCLA. It was called The Host , which was released in 2004 on DVD as a companion to Switchblade Sisters , another Hill film. That role launched a 40-year acting career during which Haig appeared in over 50 films and 350 television series. He has proven himself quite valuable to such filmmakers as producer Roger Corman . He also became a staple in the pictures of Jack Hill, appearing in Spider Baby or, The Maddest Story Ever Told , Coffy , and Foxy Brown . Haig's other memorable credits include George Lucas ' THX 1138 , and the 1970 James Bond opus Diamonds Are Forever (he is one of the Slumber Brothers, and got to toss a topless Lana Wood from the window of a high-rise Vegas hotel). Joan Severance Joan Severance was born and raised in Houston, Texas. At the age of 18 and at the sole urging of John Casablancas of Elite models, she went to Paris, France to begin a modeling career that would turn out to be well worth the price of the ticket Casablancas sent her. Within months she graced the covers of all the international magazines and was doing shows for all the top designers. She landed campaigns for Chanel and Versace. After eight months she moved to NYC to pursue the US market and was quick to land several national commercials for Windsong perfume, Breck shampoo, Clairol, English Leather, L'oreal, Revlon and Maybeline. After several dozen commercials and a very high profile editorial career, she quit the modeling industry to head to Hollywood. Within weeks, she had a manager, an agent and was studying with several different acting coaches. It was six months later that she landed her first role on a major television series for CBS called Wiseguy ,starring Ken Wahl and Kevin Spacey . It was only a matter of time that director Arthur Hiller cast her in See No Evil, Hear No Evil with Gene Wilder and Richard Pryor and her costar from Wiseguy, Kevin Spacey. That same year she did Bird on a Wire with Mel Gibson and Goldie Hawn and No Holds Barred with Hulk Hogan . Later starring in several films, including Zalman King 's Lake Consequence with Billy Zane , Ted McGinley Theodore Martin 'Ted' McGinley was born on May 30, 1958 in Newport Beach, California. He is perhaps best known for his long-running roles in the television series Happy Days , The Love Boat , Dynasty , Married with Children and The West Wing . Formerly a male model, McGinley was spotted by a casting director after appearing in the GQ magazine, and was subsequently offered the role of Roger Phillips in Happy Days . However, the veteran television star is no stranger to film either, having appeared in a string of features including Young Doctors in Love , Revenge of the Nerds , Wayne's World 2 , Major League: Back to the Minors and Pearl Harbor . Asghar Farhadi Asghar Farhadi was born in 1972 in Iran. He became interested in cinema in his teenage years and started his filmmaking education by joining the Youth Cinema Society of Esfahan in 1986 where he made 8mm and 16mm short films.

The following year, Farhadi made his directorial debut, Dancing in the Dust (Raghs dar Ghobar), about a man forced to divorce his wife and go hunting snakes in the desert in order to repay his debts to his in-laws. The film earned recognition at Fajr and Moscow International Film Festivals and a year later, Beautiful City (Shahr-e-Ziba), a grave work about a young man condemned to death at the age of sixteen, received awards from Fajr and Warsaw International Film Festivals. His third film, Fireworks Wednesday (Chaharshambe Soori), won the Gold Hugo at the 2006 Chicago International Film Festival. His fourth film, About Elly (Darbareye Elly) was called "a masterpiece" by film critic David Bordwell and won the Silver Bear for Best Director at 59th Berlin International Film Festival as well as Best Picture at Tribeca Film Festival. It was also Iran's official submission for the Foreign Language Film competition of Academy Awards in 2009. His most recent film, A Separation (Jodaeiye Nader az Simin), became a sensation. It got critical acclaim inside and outside of Iran; Roger Ebert called it "the best picture of the year," and it was awarded the Crystal Simorgh from Fajr Film Festival, Golden Bear and Prize of the Ecumenical Jury from Berlin International Film Festival, and also won Best Foreign Language Film from The Boston Society of Film Critics, Chicago and Los Angeles Film Critics Association, New York Film Critics Circle, National Board of Review, Golden Globes, César Award, Independent Spirit Award, and ultimately the Academy Award in the 'Best Foreign Language Film of the Year,' making him the first Iranian filmmaker ever to win an Oscar. His Oscar acceptance speech at the 84th Academy Awards, a message of peace in tens political times in his country, made him an instant hero amongst Iranians. His film also received nomination for the British Academy of Film and Television Arts (BAFTA) Award in the best 'Film Not in the English Language' category and for an Academy Award in the 'Best Writing, Screenplay Written Directly for the Screen' category. A few days after receiving an Oscar, Farhadi signed with the United Talent Agency (UTA).

His gaudy style of dress, magnificent accent and out-of-the-way mannerism in Gangs of Wasseypur has left an impression on Bollywood critics. His film PATANG currently in release in the U.S. and Canada, is garnering much attention for Nawazuddin with rave reviews from the New York Times, Los Angeles Times and Roger Ebert. Wayne Rogers Tough around the edges and with a handsome durability, Alabama-born Wayne Rogers had graduated from Princeton with a history degree in 1954 and joined the Navy before giving acting a thought. During his military service, however, he became associated with theater by happenstance and decided to give it a try after his discharge. He started things off by studying with renowned acting teacher Sanford Meisner and dancer Martha Graham at the Neighborhood Playhouse. He toiled for years in off-Broadway and regional plays ("Bus Stop", "No Time for Sergeants") and had a short stint on the daytime soap The Edge of Night before making a minor dent in films, including small roles in Odds Against Tomorrow , The Glory Guys and Cool Hand Luke . He also co-starred opposite Robert Bray in the short-lived TV western series Stagecoach West and co-produced and wrote the script for the cult sci-fi cheapie The Astro-Zombies in-between. It wasn't until 1972, when the 39-year-old Rogers nabbed the role of "Trapper John", a Korean War surgeon, in the classic comedy series MASH , that he found the stardom that had eluded him for over a decade and a half. Alongside Alan Alda 's "Hawkeye Pierce", the TV show was a huge hit and the two enjoyed equal success at the beginning. Slowly, however, Wayne's character started getting the short end of the stick as the wry, sardonic, highly appealing Alda became a resounding audience favorite. Frustrated at turning second-banana to Alda, he quit the series (his character was discharged) after three seasons amid a contractual dispute. Mike Farrell replaced him in the cohort role of "B.J. Hunnicut". TV movies came his way throughout the late '70s and a couple more comedy series, including House Calls , in which Wayne received a Golden Globe nomination, but nothing would equal the success he found during the MASH years. Sporadic filming in Once in Paris... , The Hot Touch , The Gig and The Killing Time also failed to raise his amiable profile. In later years, Wayne found renewed respect as a businessman and investor, having managed the affairs of such stars as Peter Falk and James Caan , among others. Ginger Rogers Ginger Rogers was born Virginia Katherine McMath in Independence, Missouri on July 16, 1911. Her mother, known as Lelee, went to Independence to have Ginger away from her husband. She had a baby earlier in their marriage and he allowed the doctor to use forceps and the baby died. She was kidnapped by her father several times until her mother took him to court. Ginger's mother left her child in the care of her parents while she went in search of a job as a scriptwriter in Hollywood and later to New York City. Mrs. McMath found herself with an income good enough to where she could send for Ginger. Lelee became a Marine in 1918 and was in the publicity department and Ginger went back to her grandparents in Missiouri. During this time her mother met John Rogers. After leaving the Marines they married in May, 1920 in Liberty, Missouri. He was transferred to Dallas and Ginger (who treated him as a father) went too. Ginger won a Charleston contest in 1925 (age 14) and a 4 week contract on the Interstate circuit. She also appeared in vaudeville acts which she did until she was 17 with her mother by her side to guide her. Now she had discovered true acting. She married in March, 1929, and after several months realized she had made a mistake. She acquired an agent and she did several short films. She went to New York where she appeared in the Broadway production of "Top Speed" which debuted Christmas Day, 1929. Her first film was in 1929 in A Night in a Dormitory . It was a bit part, but it was a start. Later that year, Ginger appeared, briefly in two more films, A Day of a Man of Affairs and Campus Sweethearts . For awhile she did both movies and theatre. The following year she began to get better parts in films such as Office Blues and The Tip-Off . But the movie that enamored her to the public was Gold Diggers of 1933 . She did not have top billing but her beauty and voice was enough to have the public want more. One song she popularized in the film was the now famous, "We're in the Money". Also in 1933 she was in 42nd Street . She suggested using a monocle and this also set her apart. In 1934, she starred with Dick Powell in Twenty Million Sweethearts . It was a well received film about the popularity of radio. Ginger's real stardom occurred when she was teamed with Fred Astaire where they were one of the best cinematic couples ever to hit the silver screen. This is where she achieved real stardom. They were first paired in 1933's Flying Down to Rio and later in 1935's Roberta and Top Hat . Ginger also appeared in some very good comedies such as Bachelor Mother and Fifth Avenue Girl both in 1939. Also that year she appeared with Astaire in The Story of Vernon and Irene Castle . The film made money but was not anywhere successful as they had hoped. After that studio executives at RKO wanted Ginger to strike out on her own. She made several dramatic pictures but it was 1940's Kitty Foyle that allowed her to shine. Playing a young lady from the wrong side of the tracks, she played the lead role well, so well in fact, that she won an Academy Award for her portrayal. Ginger followed that project with the delightful comedy, Tom, Dick and Harry the following year. It's a story where she has to choose which of three men she wants to marry. Through the rest of the 1940s and early 1950s she continued to make movies but not near the caliber before World War II. After Oh, Men! Oh, Women! in 1957, Ginger didn't appear on the silver screen for seven years. By 1965, she had appeared for the last time in Harlow . Afterward, she appeared on Broadway and other stage plays traveling in Europe, the U.S. and Canada. After 1984, she retired and wrote an autobiography in 1991 entitled, "Ginger, My Story" which is a very good book. On April 25, 1995, Ginger died of natural causes in Rancho Mirage, California. She was 83. Jsu Garcia Born in New York City, Jsu Garcia was raised by his Cuban-born parents, who had fled their country for the promise of a better life in the US. Growing up on the streets of Newark, New Jersey, Garcia had to deal with a neighborhood of toughs. He became aware of his acting talents when a bully intended to mug him and steal his bicycle and the six-year-old Garcia broke into crocodile tears and so disheartened his assailant that he allowed Garcia to leave unharmed--and with his bike. "It was then I knew I could act," Garcia remembers. His first break came when he auditioned for the TV show "Fame" (1982) and got the part. He then landed a role in Wes Craven's A Nightmare on Elm Street (1984), in which he appeared opposite Johnny Depp. This was followed by an appearance in Universal's Gotcha! (1985) opposite Anthony Edwards and Linda Fiorentino, and then in quick succession in features such as Wildcats (1986), Slaves of New York (1989), Vampire in Brooklyn (1995), Traffic (2000) and numerous others. In 2002 Garcia was in Randall Wallace's We Were Soldiers in which he portrays Mel Gibson's heroic buddy, the commander of a company fighting against the Viet Cong; and in Andrew Davis' Collateral Damage (2002), in which he plays a villainous Communist guerrilla who battles good guy Arnold Schwarzenegger. Garcia also played a major supporting role in Along Came Polly (2004), opposite Ben Stiller, Jennifer Aniston and Philip Seymour Hoffman for Jersey Films and Universal, as the hot salsa dancer. Garcia's most challenging role as "Che Guevara" came true for him in Andy Garcia's passionate Cuban story, "The Lost City", in which he received critical acclaim. Teaming up again with Steven Soderberg in 2007 in "Che" aka "The Argentine", Garcia starred opposite Benicio del Toro. Taking what he learned from some of Hollywood's greatest actors and directors, he joined with good friend and NY Times #1 bestselling author and spiritual teacher Dr. John-Roger, to create their production company Scott J-R Productions and their first full length feature, Spiritual Warriors. Inspired by Dr. John-Roger's bestselling book Spiritual Warrior, together they wrote and Executive Produced Spiritual Warriors, the movie. Garcia gathered his crew of ten and filmed on location in places such as Egypt, Jordan, and Syria, and finished filming in Los Angeles with a much larger crew. Spiritual Warriors screened in over 50 cities across 22 countries, and was officially selected for international film festivals in Toronto, Tel Aviv, Cairo, Cartagena, Beverly Hills and Hamburg. Garcia also heads up his company Gilgamesh LLC, and the current DVD distribution of Spiritual Warriors online. John-Roger and Garcia finished their second feature film in September 2010, as co-writers, co-producers, and co-directors on the project. 'The Wayshower' stars Eric Roberts, Peter Stormare and Sally Kirkland, and was filmed on location in Utah, Morocco, England, France, Spain and Peru. The Wayshower will tour film festivals and other private screenings from early 2011. Garcia has also graduated from Peace Theological Seminary and College of Philosophy with a Doctor of Spiritual Science (DSS) in 2008. His Practical Treatise (PT) is titled 'Living with a Spiritual Warrior', and explores the lessons he has learnt and blessings discovered in working closely with Dr. John-Roger for more than twenty years. Garcia currently lives in Los Angeles California.	i don't know

VHS Release Date: 17 April 2000 Run Time: 54 minutes Product Description Product Description Kevin the Teenager (Harry Enfield) presents this guide to those years of acne, angst and, of course, hating your parents, ably assisted by his best mate, Perry (Kathy Burke). All the basic topics are covered, including how to impress your sexy new teacher, and what you can do with your mum's vacuum cleaner. From Amazon.co.uk As the clock strikes midnight and Kevin turns 13 his parents realise to their lasting horror, "he's losing the power of rational thought; and the use of his arms; he's become a teenager!". Kevin and best pal Perry are two of the most enduring characters from Harry Enfield's Television Programme, because they embody such familiar stereotypes. Everyone knows a teenager exactly like them, hormones out of control and desperate to break free from hated parental solicitude. Kevin is constantly at war with his parents ("That is so unfair, I hate you!"), and as far as he can see, the whole world is against him. He tries as hard as can to be hip with his friends, pretends to be grown-up and mature, and is constantly dying for a shag--but is of course mortally afraid of the opposite sex. Square parents are "sick-makingly pathetic" and pretty much everything is "unbelievably embarrassing" in Kevin's world. On this tape, the brief Kevin and Perry sketches from the TV show are organised under handy guidelines, such as coping with your friend's parents and tidying your room ("I like it like this, I can find everything when I need it; just because I don't share your stupid bloody middle-class values of tidiness"). Harry Enfield's Kevin is brilliantly supported by Kathy Burke's wonderfully vacant Perry ("alright our Kev, sorted, mad for it", he opines in a newly acquired Lancastrian accent upon returning from a trip to super-trendy Manchester). The parent--offspring exchanges have an uncanny ring of truth about them, as do the schizophrenic switches from teen-speak to parental address. This is comedy for everyone who either is or was a teenager. "Kick all the old people out of the sitting room and enjoy". --Mark Walker	Perry
Who played guitar for Genesis from 1970 to 1977, before going on to form Supergroup GTR with Steve Howe from Yes?	by pauloone1989 on 17 February 2007 14 out of 17 people found the following review useful: 'Kevin & Perry Go Large' is a really successful follow up to Enfield and Burke's original TV characters. There is always an ever present danger with feature length adaptations of TV shows, in that they'll not always transfer onto the big screen with quite the same clout (Think Family Guy). BUT, K&P have done very well. So maybe the content is crude, but quite frankly it's a perfect reflection of youth culture abroad (yet obviously within a slanted comedic context). People do go to such destinations as Ibiza, Malia, and Ayia Napa and they DO lose their moral code. K&P is if not anything else, a depiction of REAL youth culture. Whether it glorifies that culture or not is up for debate. I'd argue that it doesn't as I feel that Enfield's character rather pokes fun at the naivety of youth, and whilst I've been partial to my own dalliances in nutty behaviour, I can sense a critical undertone in the Kevin character. The film is funny, and the plot is definitely good enough to keep you watching. As a pre-pubescent teen at the first time of watching, I found the film better then, than perhaps I would do now - but I know I could always whip out the DVD, watch it, and enjoy it time and again. Enfield and Burke were obviously well versed in their roles, but as always too the Mum and Dad characters played by James Fleet and Louisa Rix, were fantastic. Their uppish standards and typical parental attitudes are thrown out the window in Ibiza, and the denigration of these standards not only shocks, but humours you too. Eyeball Paul (Rhys Ifans) is a refreshingly crude character, and the relationship between him and the boys is one of the anchors of the flick. Typically Ifans plays the role with precision, taking any subtleties and throwing them straight out the window. All in all, K&P is a good film, but perhaps nothing but. It's hard to tell whether it's supposed to be a no hold barred comedy, or a tongue in cheek critique on British society. Am I supposed to take the film seriously? Or not? For that reason, I've given it six out of ten. KEVIN AND PERRY by Robert Lough on 1 May 2000 11 out of 16 people found the following review useful: I thought that this movie was quite funny. However some of the jokes are stretched out too far. The story sees Kevin and Perry (from the Harry Enfield and Chums sketch show) go to Ibiza with Kevins parents. I would recommend this film only if you are a fan of the Harry Enfield show, or you like gross humour. I give KEVIN AND PERRY GO LARGE a 7/10. Great comedy to watch with your friends while drinking some beers. by martymaster ([email protected]) on 23 July 2002 17 out of 29 people found the following review useful: I had just been on vacation with some of my friends and we had been out clubbing every night.So we really had the feel for this movie.We also like this kind of humor.The soundtrack in the movie is great and Kevin and Perry is just hilarious.They are so stupid that it is cool. Only appeals to certain audiences by michael-mcghee3 on 3 March 2008 3 out of 3 people found the following review useful: Anyone who grew up in the nineties or early millennium will easily enjoy this. Not quite a great film, but an enjoyable enough storyline, topped off with a lot of funnies and a great soundtrack. Also anyone who didn't grow up in the era of dance/rave music then I would say you are wasting your time watching this film, as the best thing about it is that a lot of teenagers/young adults can relate to it. Lets be honest people in their forties or fifties aren't going to listen to Rave Music and go on a holiday to Ibiza to find some sex, pop pills and attend raves. I would also say anyone who enjoyed the Kevin and Perry sketches in the Harry Enfield programmes should find this interesting also as the film tops any sketch ever featured on the TV programme. Not a masterpiece, but if you are British, quiet entertaining. by alicante22 on 21 October 2007 6 out of 9 people found the following review useful: I like the film, I gave it a 7, I even use a quote as my signature ("all I wanna do is do it") but I can see that it is not an amazing film, but it does what it says on the tin: its a Harry Enfield comedy - so its a puerile, toilet humour driven extended comic sketch. But it does have an awesome soundtrack, and does chronicle, in a comical way, the rights of passage for a British teenager from the late 90's and the traditional image of holiday with your parents in THE place to be at the time - ibiza. I was a teenager in the 90's, I loved and still love dance music, I went to ibiza many times and now even live here, and I, like millions of other brits at the time, was a fan of Harry Enfields comedy. So for those reasons, this was more than a reasonable evenings entertainment. If you are looking for a masterpiece of comedy, then Anchorman is a good place to start, so too is The Office. Don't look in the direction of this film unless you know what you are going to get in advance - Lowest common denominator humour that pulls no punches and loves what it is. Enjoy! Expect too much, or lack the cultural indoctrination? SPOILERS!!! by ETCmodel02 ([email protected]) on 24 October 2002 4 out of 6 people found the following review useful: SPOILERS!!! SPOILERS!!! SPOILERS!!! SPOILERS!!! SPOILERS!!! SPOILERS!!! Ah, another fine boys trying to get their first shags under their belts while simultaneously conquering the Ibiza DJ universe comedy. Although wanders around a bit, it has tons of great gags, the mega-huge inflating winkies in the trousers were a huge hit as a recurrent gag, the explosive zits Tetsuo: Iron Man style and the rest of the femme grooming sequence a total joyous gross out, DJ Eyeball Paul's antics and lingo banging, lotsa coastal clubbing eye candy and the beats throughout were ab fab fly. So the real question is whether I would have expected too much, or lacked the cultural indoctrination being American and never having heard of the show this is derived from? Perhaps, but never have I seen Germans teased as such, seldom see a new twist on a winkie gag (that's saying a lot by itself) and appreciated the very quick gesture conveying Eyeball Paul's ill intention that belys a deft grasp of the physical humor many hammer you over the head with it American comedies lack. True, American Pie is better wholistically. True, I'd rather have seen the full troupe from the TV show in the film because if a measley 2 can carry a show, I can only imagine what a hoot a dozen plus would have been. So I give it an average score, because it's a good place to start and I can only hope for more and better. A good laugh by kam-wing pang ([email protected]) on 24 October 2000 4 out of 6 people found the following review useful: This film was a good laugh. Really enjoyed Harry Enfield's TV show, so it was good to see it cross over to film. Shame that they didn't bring out more of the characters from the show. Should have had more of Paul Whitehouse... he was hilarious as the bouncer! The bit in the bedroom with his erection was side splittingly funny... Nice for an afternoon's mindless fun... Classic by adrianben7 on 8 May 2012 1 out of 1 people found the following review useful: I loved this film when it first came out especially as it basically portrayed the whole Ibiza\dance music scene at the time. It actually inspired us lads to book up the following year and have great time. If you were a teenager who liked dance music and\or went to Ibiza in the early 2000s then you will at least appreciate the awesome music and feel like going out after seeing the club scenes. Kevin and Perry Go Large basically takes the mick out of the whole Ibiza\Club\brit abroad type thing by portraying stereotypical teenagers, DJs and even Germans. This film is typical Harry Enfield humor, just an extended sketch from the TV series really, so again if you don't think he is funny then don't watch it. funny, fun by bigdaddydave on 22 October 2002 2 out of 3 people found the following review useful: People take this film WAY too seriously! Honestly, did you go into it thinking it was going to be high brow humour? no, it was going to be jokes about shagging! I do think i have a developed sence of humour and very rarely laugh at feature films, (especially from across the pond) but this was funny all the way through, and there were 2 or 3 jokes that had me in stiches. (the bank robbery!!) Go and watch it, it is funny. It is not Shakespear. Cheesy film but I like it by bennlanglands on 19 May 2006 4 out of 7 people found the following review useful: Kevin & Perry go large (well they certainly do in this film). The way Kathy Burke & Harry Enfield act as teenagers as if it is quite lifelike, i think she does a better job and she does put on a good masculine voice (at times). The D.J played by Rhys Ifans is i suppose your typical D.J, thinking he is the dogs ****** and is a nasty *****, and he plays it extremely well top marks Rhys. Laura Fraser and Tabitha Wady, Whos the better actor? Id have to say laura she seems more comfortable in front of a camera than Tabitha (sorry Tabitha). The one scene that we all know about is when they decide to clean up, doesn't it make you cringe? (I hope girls in real life don't look like that lol). O.K some people may say its a bad film but they're more than likely comparing to those big blockbusters e.g lord of the rings. But in its own right its a great film if you ask me. The music in the film is your typical Ibiza music and i like that sort of stuff. The funniest scene would have to be when Kev and Pel are with Mr and Mrs Patterson in the restaurant and Pel gets a "banana" because Mrs Patterson is speaking Spanish. The worst scene (thats easy) Where they exit the airport and Pel says "Kev look the girls of our dreams" oh dear how bad that was. All in all great film.	i don't know
What is the name given to the fur of a polecat?	Printable Factsheet: Polecat \| Young People's Trust For the Environment Factsheet Polecat The polecat used to be called a 'foul mart' because of its strong smell. The name polecat is said to be from the French poule chat,'the chicken cat' and it will kill chickens given the chance! Overview Distribution: mainly in Wales but spreading. Widespread throughout the rest of Europe, as far north as southern Sweden & southern Finland. Habitat: variety of habitats but most often found in woodlands & hedgerows. Size: male:- head & body 38cm; tail 14cm. Female is smaller. Description: long, almost cylindrical body with short legs & tail. Dark brown fur with yellowish under-fur showing through; black underparts, legs & tail; white patches on face giving a distinct dark, mask-like pattern. Weight: male up to 1.5kg. Female a little over half this. Life-span: up to five years or more. Food: mainly rodents, also rabbits, frogs, fish, worms and birds. The polecat used to be called a 'foul mart' because of its strong smell. The name polecat is said to be from the French poule chat,'the chicken cat' and it will kill chickens given the chance! Ferrets are creamy-white, domesticated polecats used to catch rabbits, and some escape or are lost. Many of these ferrets have reverted to polecat colouring over the generations and are known as polecat-ferrets, though they usually have a paler forehead and no mask. They also interbreed with true polecats so polecats vary in colour depending on how much ferret and how much true polecat is in their ancestry. Polecat-ferrets are found throughout Britain. Polecat Habits Home and hunting The polecat is usually solitary and is mainly active by night, but may sometimes be seen hunting during the day. It moves quickly with its body almost touching the ground, long neck stretched out and short legs moving in a kind of paddling action - it glides rather than runs! Territories are marked with a very strong foul-smelling scent produced by pea-sized glands at the base of the tail. The polecat will live in almost every kind of habitat, even sand dunes and sea cliffs, although it prefers woods and copses. It makes a den in any suitable hole, such as a rabbit burrow, fox earth or natural rock crevice. Sometimes a wood stack is used. In winter, shelter may be sought in a deserted building. Polecats are less agile than pine martens, and cannot climb as well as they do. They have a keen sense of smell with which to track down prey. Polecats catch mice, rats, voles, rabbits, birds and their eggs, frogs, lizards and snakes. They are said to kill adders and to be immune to their poison. They carry small prey by grasping it in the middle of the back. Breeding Mating takes place between March and May, and after a gestation period (time between mating and birth) of six weeks, a litter of 3 - 8 young is born. The babies, covered with white, silky fur, are born into a nest of dry grass in woods or among rocks. The young leave the nest when two months old and the colours and markings of the adult appear at about three months. Baby polecats huddle together in the nest to keep warm, but in hot weather lie as far apart as possible. Family groups may be seen together in late summer, but by the winter the young polecats have gone their separate ways. Polecats and Humans The polecat was once a very common mammal throughout Britain, even found in the outskirts of London, at the beginning of the nineteenth century. However, by the end of the nineteenth century, persecution by gamekeepers and fur trappers had reduced it to a few isolated populations in central Wales. At the end of the 20th century polecats were found as far north as Manchester, as far south as Wiltshire, and as far east as Derbyshire, Leicestershire, Oxfordshire, and Berkshire. A survey in 2004-2006 showed that polecats have continued into central and southern England. The polecat was once considered as a threat to game and poultry and poultry-killing may be justified to some extent. However, gamekeepers and farmers, who trapped polecats mercilessly, rarely considered that predators like polecats probably help to keep the populations of rats and mice under control. The enormous reduction in polecat numbers might have contributed in the past to the huge increase in the populations of rats. The polecat was also trapped for its fur, known as 'fitch', which was widely used in the early nineteenth century. Records show that a total of 400 polecat pelts were sold at the old Fur Fair in Dumfries, Scotland, in 1829, and 600 in 1831. In 1866, however, the number of furs for sale there was only six, after which they were not included in the records. Many years ago, polecat-hunting was practised among the country squires of North Wales, Cheshire, Cumberland and Westmorland, where special packs of hounds were kept to hunt them down. The Vincent Wildlife Trust is currently carrying out a national polecat survey which is to be completed by the end of 2015.

Chelsea won the 2009 FA Cup final 2-1. Who were the beaten finalists?	polecat \| Eurasian and African mammal \| Britannica.com Eurasian and African mammal Polecat, any of several weasellike carnivores of the family Mustelidae (which includes the weasel , mink, otter , and others). The pelt, especially of the European polecat , is called fitch in the fur trade. European polecat (Mustela putorius). Malene Thyssen The European, or common, polecat, also called foul marten for its odour (Mustela, sometimes Putorius, putorius), occurs in woodlands of Eurasia and North Africa . It weighs 0.5–1.4 kg (1–3 pounds) and is 35–53 cm (14–21 inches) long exclusive of the bushy tail, which is 13–20 cm long. Its long, coarse fur is brown above, black below, and marked with yellowish patches on the face. Much lighter fur distinguishes the masked, or steppe, polecat (M. p. eversmanni) of Asia. Principally terrestrial, the polecat hunts at night, feeding on small mammals and birds. It also eats snakes, lizards, frogs, fishes, and eggs. The polecat is more powerful than the marten but less active, and it rarely climbs trees. Its litters of three to eight young are born in the spring after about two months’ gestation. The domestic, albino variety of the European polecat is known as the ferret (q.v.). The marbled polecat (Vormela peregusna) of Eurasian foothills and steppes is similar to the European species in habits, appearance, and size. It is mottled reddish brown and yellowish above, blackish below. The zorille (q.v.), a related African carnivore , is also called striped, cape, or African polecat. In the United States the name polecat is often applied to skunks (see skunk ), particularly the spotted and striped species. Learn More in these related articles:	i don't know

Ooh-er! In George Orwell's book Nineteen Eighty-Four, Big Brother was watching you. Now, you can watch Big Brother. Deeply profound, we know. We also know that this isn't a format for everybody. We fully understand that there are people who will find it dull - after all it is just ten people in a house, but at the same time it is absolutely compelling. So then, what does the game entail? Ten people are locked away in a specially designed prefab hut in a secret location (for which read: the 3 Mills studio complex in Bow, East London) without any contact with the outside world. Every week, each member of the house nominates the two people they would most like evicted. The two or more people with the most votes are then offered to the public who decide who they want to kick out in a phone vote. The big thing is the eviction - and they need to be cruel to be kind because the last person left at the end of the series wins £70,000. The two potential evictees are told their fate by Big Brother before the public get three days to vote on the decision. It's this in-between time that causes a lot of the tension between the housemates - you've been nominated because you were liked the least, not a pleasant feeling is it? And what if you win the public vote and are allowed to stay? You've still been shown a yellow card. Nasty but gripping stuff. Exterior shot of the Big Brother House Of course, there's a bit more to it than that. The biggest thing is that the entire house is wired up with cameras and microphones, so there's nowhere to hide, and we can hear everything you're saying and see everything - and we mean everything - you're doing. The only place of privacy is the diary room, where there's a camera in a soundproof environment for you to speak your mind to Big Brother. To our disappointment, Big Brother wasn't a particular voice - it was just the dull, drab tones of whichever director was on duty at the time. You'd think that if you spend £4 million on a series, you'd spend a few extra thousand on actors or even a computerised speech simulator. Most days there is a half-hour or hour show dedicated to what's happened. More interestingly, you can (quite literally) catch them at it by logging into the website. You can only log into 5 cameras from the web-site, but given that they are all in prominent places you can still see everything you want to see. In a good move, you can't log onto the shower and toilet ones - but that hasn't stopped them being used in the telly show. This isn't a show for prudes really as anything interesting that does happen will get shown. Each week Big Brother sets the housemates a task to occupy them. Every day someone stays in the Big Brother House, they earn £1.50. All this goes into a pot at the end of the week in order to buy food and supplies - although the players have to use some of that cash to make and bake their own bread and grow their own vegetables (the chickens are included for free). Most of it goes on alcohol though, but as our guinea pigs learnt to their cost, perhaps they should spend more on proper supplies like food and toilet paper (which they hilariously ran out of during the first week and Big Brother wouldn't give them any more) and less on getting drunk - indeed the new tactic is to buy cider because it's cheap. Anyway, for each task the housemates can gamble up to 50% of their pocket money. If they win then they'll get more money in the next weeks, if they lose then they lose the cash. Some of the Big Brother lab rats: (clockwise, from top-left) Melanie, Thomas, Sada, Darren, Caroline, Nicholas The first task was to have everybody make a clay bowl and mug and if more than three objects cracked when they were cooked then they lost the challenge. To help them, they were given a potters wheel and lots of clay. Sadly, they failed but because Big Brother isn't cruel (much), they gave the players a giant crate of fruit as a consolation prize - makes a difference from a Blankety Blank chequebook and pen - but sadly the cash was gone. Big Brother also showed his (her? its?) human sides by allowing treats such as the video of one participant's child's birthday to be the shown, and for another participant to receive champers and their choice of board game for their birthday. It has to be said that, in their infinite wisdom, the producers have chosen an odd crowd of people. None of them are particularly old, and therefore haven't experienced very much. This is not so much a microcosm, more a zoo where only the more curious mutations of the human species have been cooped up. Of what they have experienced, nearly all of it revolves around the bizarre, rather than anything particularly worthy - although, to be fair, as the series trundles on this is becoming less so. The website of the TV show tries to re-create the emotionless technological style of the show. In some ways it's very good, because you can keep up to date with all the latest news and spy on the housemates (assuming you can get the web cam applet to work). However, you can't help feeling that the project has done the web sponsor more harm than good - at one point it took up to a day to register for the site, the text was repeating itself in certain places, and it was possible for the site to make your browser crash. Still, it looks nice. As per usual in programmes these days, there's a hardcore dance theme-tune, courtesy of Paul Oakenfold, which was also released as part of a Big Brother album. Annoyingly, the links between clips of VT are bolted together by the worst squeaky white-noise effect you've ever heard. We also wonder whether the whole package fits together. At the beginning, we have a documentary. A few shows in and now we get added commentary from psychological experts. And when the evictions start, we get live talk shows with Davina McCall . And then there's that Internet page too. Host (for some of the time, anyway) Davina McCall So then, this isn't so much a game show as a 'democratic televised competition (TM)' that relies on having the right mix of players. Whether the mix is correct is somewhat open to debate - younger viewers will lap it up, but in general audience terms it's hard to see where the attraction will be. In the original Holland show, one of the finalists was a man significantly older than the other 20/30-something participants - why did Channel 4 decide to exclude an older age group from the proceedings? Even the girls themselves in the UK version mentioned this. Good? Fun? Interesting? Yes. Scary and voyeuristic? Just a little bit. It's a game show and soap opera in one... but not as we know it. Big Brother: The Rise and Fall After being rejected out-of-hand by Sky 1, and turned down after a little thought by ITV, Big Brother had been commissioned for a nine-week run in 2000. This debut series had a slow start, but grew through word-of-mouth, cemented by the Nasty Nick incident, to turn into a major hit for Channel 4. It attracted an audience of young people, and an audience that didn't watch much other television. After the run was over, series producer Conrad Green encapsulated the tension at the heart of the show: "I as a producer can only intervene a certain amount; the people in the house can determine their fate only to a certain extent; and the audience controls things, but not completely. There's this strange triangle of control which makes people think they participate in it much more." The series was renewed for 2001, giving Brian Dowling his first sniff of fame. Digital viewers were able to follow the show in far greater detail, with live streaming for much of the day on new channel E4. Big Brother's Little Brother also launched in 2001, propelling Dermot O'Leary towards megastardom. The site at Three Mills only had planning permission for two years, and the show moved to a more permanent building in the Elstree studios from 2002. Endemol entered into a four-year contract with Channel 4, and that summer's edition would see the highest ratings, from the live first-night broadcast showing contestants entering the house. 2002's big idea was The Divide, splitting the contestants into Rich and Poor sides for half the run. Ten million people saw Kate Lawler win the series, but Jade Goody turned into the greatest star. 2002 champion Kate Lawler 2003's series had a "back-to-basics" ethos, putting normal people in a less abnormal setting. Jon Tickle made a career out of his time on the show, and Cameron Stout's innocence charmed the viewers. Viewing figures were down on 2002. The series has retrospectively been dubbed "a bit boring", because it didn't have the bold characters and plot twists of the previous year. Channel 4's board of directors began to get a little uneasy about Big Brother during 2003, but worried that if they let it go, someone else would pick it up, and they needed the steady income. Or they liked Linda Papadopoulos 's popular psychology. For 2004, the producers quite deliberately set out to be "evil", with a set designed to be claustrophobic and intimidatory, to encourage pantomime villains and larger-than-life heroes. The atmosphere deteriorated quickly, resulting in a mass brawl during the third week. Security guards intervened, police were called, and all present would eventually be interviewed as part of a criminal investigation. If the housemates had been ceded more of Conrad Green's triangle in 2003, the producers were now doing all they could to influence the outcome. The final result was a clear victory for Nadia Almada, and ratings had increased slightly from the previous year, perhaps helped by the new digital spin-off EForum (renamed Big Brother's Big Mouth from January 2005.) The eye logo changed each year. These eye logos include: 2000, 2001, 2002, 2003 Two Big Brother spin-off series were made. Channel 4's education department shot Teen Big Brother: The Experiment during summer 2003. The intention was to explore topics in social education, such as methods of learning, and to debate matters like religion and gender stereotypes. In addition to airings in the morning schools' slot, the programmes were re-edited and shown as part of E4's evening schedule. The series is best remembered for the sex act between two of the competitors. The competitors voted for their own winner, Paul Brennan. A number of contestants from the first five series of Big Brother took part in a Big Brother Pantomime over Christmas 2004, a piece of filler for E4 that did not find a winner. A short series of Celebrity Big Brother had taken place in March 2001, promoting the Comic Relief charity and won by comedian Jack Dee . Another Celebrity series was held in November 2002, won by pop singer Mark Owen. The latter series gave Les Dennis positive publicity after his well-publicised personal difficulties, and contestants Sue Perkins and Goldie would meet many years later on Maestro . Celebrity Big Brother became an annual fixture from January 2005, won that year by Bez from the Happy Mondays. The producers failed to ferment rows between Brigitte Nielsen and her former mother-in-law Jackie Stallone, and the abiding memory was of Germaine Greer walking out and criticising the production staff. Channel 4 signed a new contract for 2005's summer show, allowing it to run for an eleventh week. The contestants were given various silly things to do, the show never quite caught the public's imagination, and was won by Anthony Hutton, who described himself as a Big Brother superfan. The new contract called for longer runs of both Celebrity and standard Big Brother; 2006's celebrity series ran for three weeks, and was won by fake celebrity Chantelle Houghton; the iconic moment was George Galloway's impression of a cat. Non-celebrity celebrity Chantelle Houghton That year's public series ran for a full three months, and Pete Bennett proved most popular. It was a fractious series: two contestants withdrew before the first week was up, and someone who had been repeatedly rejected by the producers won a Golden Ticket promotion. Viewing figures were level with the previous year, helped by Channel 4 scheduling episodes against the football world cup and back-to-back with editions of Deal or No Deal . Towards the end of the game, four contestants who had been previously evicted were allowed back into the game; the premium-rate telephone regulator would later find that Channel 4 had misled viewers. Fans and the tabloid press began to turn against the programme, with the producers accused in some quarters of concentrating on what would make the most interesting show for the next night and ignoring the greater game. Celebrity Big Brother 2007 was the most controversial run of the series. Indeed, when measured in terms of complaints to the media regulator, it was the most controversial programme ever, after remarks by Jade Goody against Shilpa Shetty turned into the most almighty row about racism. Though Big Brother had always been popular amongst young people, it was remarkably unpopular for older viewers - the audience of over-50s was negligible. While politicians and opinion-formers had heard about the show, most of them had never actually seen it. The talking heads released pent-up vitriol against Big Brother, against Channel 4, against television they didn't understand, and it all turned very ugly. Regulator OFCOM received many thousands of complaints, the programme's sponsor withdrew, and Shetty won the public vote. Though viewing figures rose to a peak of 8.8 million, it wasn't the press Channel 4 wanted. Shilpa Shetty became a household name afer winning Celebrity Big Brother 2007's regular series again lasted for three months; eleven female housemates entered at the beginning, another thirteen people entered and left until Brian Belo was declared the winner. One person was thrown out for using a racial epithet, ratings were the lowest in the show's history, and - after January's troubles - the franchise looked to be in serious trouble. Rather than run another Celebrity edition at the start of 2008, Big Brother Celebrity Hijack had a number of young people confronted by various celebrities playing the role of Big Brother. The programme aired exclusively on the digital channel E4, and was won by politician John Loughton. By summer 2008, coverage on E4 was much reduced; rather than running for twenty hours per day, there was now barely ten hours of Big Brother programming on the digital channel, and most of that was overnight. For the first time in the show's history, there was no live web stream. Rachel Rice won the public vote, and gimmicks included a "Heaven and Hell" split. Dermot O'Leary left Little Brother with George Lamb making it his home, Big Mouth had a series of guest hosts, and viewing figures for the main show continued to fall, with barely 3 million seeing most shows. Celebrity returned in 2009, with a strong whiff of contractual obligation permeating the programme. Even while the show was airing, we couldn't tell you what was going on, or even who (other than winner Ulrika Jonsson ) was in it. The press didn't care, the viewers didn't care. A similar level of ennui permeated that summer's run. The show had suddenly realised not only that it was mortal but also that it was wounded, and celebrated its "tenth birthday" a mere nine years after the first episode aired. Just in case it wouldn't be around for its real tenth birthday. The nightly updates played to a couple of million viewers - enough for Channel 4 to turn a cash profit on the series, but perhaps not enough to justify the expanse of screen time. Even the internet stream was abolished for this tenth series, when perhaps the greatest gimmick was getting two contestants to change their name so that they might continue in the show. "Dogface" and "Halfwit" were unusually cheap and cruel jibes. Not that it harmed "Dogface"'s chances; again known by her original name in the closing days, Sophie Reade won the show. By the penultimate week of the series, the die was cast, and Channel 4 decided not to renew the show beyond 2010. The sense was that Big Brother had been on long enough, and it was time to move on, the viewers wanted something different. Like almost everything in Big Brother's glory years, this news was leaked to a tabloid newspaper before the actual announcement. It was the first time in a fair few years that the show had been front page news. With its fate already sealed, the programme returned for a comparatively well-received celebrity series in January 2010, before returning for its final summer outing in June of the same year. This summer series would run a little over two weeks shorter than comparable series in the years previous had, with its final being held on a Tuesday. This was to enable what was regarded as a separate series entitled Ultimate Big Brother to launch on the same night, and finish off the programme's run. Featuring the winner of the final series, this series would see a mix of famous faces from the previous ten summer series and seven celebrity series return to the house to compete once more, before, after 22 different series, and over 1000 episodes, the house closed its doors for the very last time. Or so it appeared at the time. Big Brother Will Get Back to You From the moment it was announced that Channel 4 would not be re-commissioning Big Brother, there had been speculation that another broadcaster would pick it up, with Channel 5 emerging as a favourite. The station had been bought in July 2010 by media tycoon Richard Desmond, publisher of the Daily Star and OK! magazine; these titles had increased sales after covering Big Brother. On buying the channel, Desmond publicly stated that he was interested in securing Big Brother for Channel 5. However, as the final series of Big Brother ended on Channel 4, negotiations between Channel 5 and Endemol collapsed. Things went quiet for several months, though there were occasional flickers of life - Channel 5 showed a number of documentary series following 2010 winner Josie Gibson and her paramour John James Parton, and contestant Shabby Katchadourian. Endemol and Channel 5 resumed negotiations in 2011, and after much speculation, a two-year deal was announced on 5 April 2011 to broadcast a series each per year of Big Brother and its celebrity spin-off on the channel from August 2011. Buoyed by respectable ratings, further deals were subsequently struck, and the programme will now remain on air until at least the end of 2018. 'When Bruv Takes Over' - The promotional video created to publicise the launch of the programme on Channel 5. Channel 5 used the celebrity series as a springboard to other work - Paddy Doherty and Sally Bercow made a short series of documentaries, Jim Davidson and Gareth Thomas had fly-on-the-wall programmes about their lives, and Rylan Clark moved to Bit on the Side after his Celebrity series win. There was less cross-promotion for the civilian series, follow-up shows promised in 2011 and 2012 were never made. 2014 brought new owners for Channel 5, sold from the Northern & Shell group to media giant Viacom. They also owned the MTV lifestyle channel, and repeats of last night's Celebrity Big Brother appeared on MTV from January 2015. Key moments The whole "Nasty Nick" saga in BB1 Bus-ted!!! New housemates always getting evicted at the earliest opportunity. The time the BB4 housemates had to be evacuated from the house as a result of a bomb scare at the compound. With no-one to change the tapes, after three hours, for the first and only time in Big Brother history, the cameras stopped rolling during a series. The fight night from BB5, which caused the crew to pull the plug on the cameras because it was getting too violent. A prolonged row in CBB5 and sparked a national debate on racism, and resulted in Channel 4 having to apologise on air. Official adjudication . I know who's to blame for this argument...the oxo cubes and the chicken. The BB11 housemates also had to be evacuated from the house when during a torrential rain storm, the roof started to leak, causing widespread flooding in the bedroom and living area. If you're looking for the match reports that used to be here, they're now on their own page . Catchphrases 'Big Brother will get back to you' 'Who goes? You decide!' 'It's time to talk to the house' 'Big Brother house, this is Davina. You are live on Channel 4, please do not swear' - Although originally intended as a genuine request or warning, this became more of a catchphrase over time. 'You have 30 seconds to say your goodbyes. I'm coming to get you!' - When Davina said this to a housemate moments before they were evicted, this statement didn't seem to make much sense, as she was stood right outside the house when she said it. However in the first two series, Davina would have to go up a short flight of steps from the studio, across a courtyard, along a short dirt path, and across a bridge over a canal inlet to meet the evicted housemate at the compound gate, meaning she did literally have to go and get them. By the third series, when the programme re-located to Elstree, and Davina first started presenting from outside the house, it had already become something of a tradition, and thus remained a feature of every eviction during the programme's run on Channel 4. 'Here are your best bits' Channel 5 version 'Big Brother house, this is Brian' 'Who stays? You decide!' 'It's time to talk to the housemates' 'Your time has come' 'You have lost your place in the Big Brother house' 'Here are your house highlights' Emma Willis's catchphrases 'Big Brother house, this is Emma' 'Who goes? You decide!' 'It's time to talk to the house' 'The Great British public have spoken. Your fate is sealed' 'You have lost your place in the Big Brother house' 'Here are your best bits' Inventor Based on Jan de Mol's Dutch show. Theme music "Big Brother UK TV Theme" by Paul Oakenfold and Andy Gray working under the name ElementFour. Despite the somewhat prosaic title, it was a pretty big hit single back in 2000, reaching number 4 in the charts in September. A Big Brother album is also available (see below). Trivia Perhaps unsurprisingly, the 2002 final got Channel 4's biggest non-film audience ever, with ten million viewers tuning in to see Kate Lawler become the first female winner. When John de Mol was creating the original Big Brother in The Netherlands, it went under the codename The Golden Cage. This title wasn't deemed suitable for the final show, but it has resurfaced as a similar but open ended show (involving contestants living like millionaires but with little contact with the outside world, contestants stay on until they leave on their own free will, last one standing wins the mansion and a huge cash sum) which began in The Netherlands in 2006 and is being sold around the world. Marcus Bentley supposedly got the job of narrator because the producers liked the way he said the word "chickens". Bentley seems to have been somewhat bemused by this, later telling the Mail on Sunday, "I don't think there's anything special about the way I say 'chickens' but maybe it sounds funny if you're used to southern accents." The face of the voice of Big Brother. The closest eviction vote in the history of the programme was the second eviction vote of Big Brother 3, when Alison Hammond was evicted by a mere 0.08% of the vote - just over 1000 calls separated her from Alex Sibley. A special edition of Come Dine with Me was broadcast in 2010 featuring four former winners of Big Brother - Brian Dowling , Nadia Almada, Brian Belo, and Sophie Reade. Series 12, the first to be broadcast on Channel 5, allowed viewers to vote via Facebook. This was the first time voting via social networks had been used on a UK game show. Further social voting experiments were conducted in series 13 and 15. Marco Pierre White Jr's eviction in the first week of the 2016 series was the first time in the history of the civilian version of the programme a male housemate was the first to be evicted from the house (as opposed to voluntarily walking or being removed). Money talks Contestants were paid £30 for each day spent in the house to compensate for loss of earnings. Although this was explained in the very first official tie-in book, it still seems to have come as a surprise to a lot of people when it was reported that former housemates returning for the final series were to be paid exactly the same. Cue a load of local radio DJs spluttering over the fact that "oh, they're getting paid now". The first four series of Big Brother all offered a £70,000 prize for the winner (the early series also offered holidays for the runners up). The fifth series saw the jackpot increased to £100,000, however as part of the ‘Big Brother gets evil’ theme, the jackpot was reduced for just about any infraction. The eventual prize for this series was £63,500. The sixth series also offered a £100,000 jackpot, but didn't give the full amount to the winner because as part of a final week twist, housemate Eugene Sully chose to take half the money, instead of leaving it alone and being given the chance to win £200,000 should he win the series. Therefore, champion Anthony Hutton only won £50,000. The winners of the seventh to ninth, and the eleventh and fourteenth series all pocketed £100,000, with 3rd place series eight contestant Liam McGough also winning £100,000 as part of a mid-series twist. Big Brother 10 also saw a jackpot of £100,000, however after most of the housemates broke out of the house into the camera runs in the second to last week, the prize fund was reduced to zero. Over their remaining time in the house, Big Brother offered housemates the chance to restore the prize fund by completing various tasks. The housemates were successful in several of these tasks, resulting in a prize of £71,320 for the winner. The winner of Big Brother 12, the first series to be broadcast on Channel 5, received a prize of £50,000. The other £50,000 from the prize fund was divided - unequally - between the five finalists, with the housemates having to decide who got what, or else lose it all. We wonder where they got that idea from ? The winner of Big Brother 13 also received £50,000, after, in a mid-series twist, the other £50,000 from the prize fund was taken by contestant Conor McIntyre on condition that he leave the house with immediate effect. Big Brother 14 and 15 both offered £100,000 prizes. Big Brother 16, the first civilian series under Viacom's ownership of Channel 5, initially offered a prize of £150,000. However this was repeatedly altered during Cash Bomb week, resulting in a final prize of £116,100. Big Brother 17 saw a prize fund of £100,000. During Annihilation Week two housemates took £5000 each, while another took £20,000. This housemate went on to win the series, taking the remaining £70,000 for a total win of £90,000. Best bits Prior to the start of the 11th series, E4 broadcast a special programme, Big Brother's Big Awards, narrated by Davina McCall . Voted for in part by the public, the programme dished out honours to the previous ten main series, and their housemates. The winners were as follows - Biggest Bitch - Charlie Uchea (Big Brother 8) Biggest Bad Boy - 'Nasty' Nick Bateman (Big Brother 1) Best Catchphrase - Helen Adams (Big Brother 2) for "I like blinkin' I do". Best Task - The Housemate Electrocution Task (Big Brother 9) Best Twist - The Bedsit (Big Brother 5) Biggest Cringe - Michelle Bass (Big Brother 5) for her rendition of Pie Jesu. Best Argument - Charlie Uchea and Brian Belo (Big Brother 8) Biggest Controversy - 'Fight Night' (Big Brother 5) Biggest Tantrum - Nikki Grahame (Big Brother 7) for her "Who is she?" rant. Best Couple - Michelle Bass and Stuart Wilson (Big Brother 5) Best Housemate - Nadia Almada (Big Brother 5) Best Series - Big Brother 7 Familiar faces In theory, we've heard of everyone who appears on Celebrity Big Brother. A few of the civilian contestants enjoyed claims to fame before entering the competition. Prior to his appearance in series 6, we'd heard of Derek Laud, a black gay Conservative who was good for a soundbite. He'd appeared on Who Wants to be a Millionaire paired with Edwina Currie, but they'd not got past Fastest Finger First. Series 7 contestant Michael Cheshire had previously appeared on an episode of Blind Date . He also appeared in a 2015 episode of ITV daytime series Judge Rinder, after being sued by fellow Big Brother 7 housemate Aisleyne Horgan-Wallace over a £2,475 loan. Judge Rinder ruled in favour of Horgan-Wallace, and described having the pair on the programme as 'a mild thrill'. Remember boy band Northern Line? Thought not, they had three minor hit singles circa 2000 and then vanished. Band member Ziggy Lichman turned up in series 8 of Big Brother. Lisa Appleton, from series 9, had been a contender on the ITV series of Gladiators . Series 12 housemate Jemma Palmer previously appeared as Inferno in the Sky revival of the show. Graham and Ivy, who made the final shortlist of 81 potential housemates for the 11th series of the show, previously appeared on the third series of Coach Trip , and the second series of Four Weddings . Series 11 housemate JJ Bird previously appeared on the first series of The Cube , winning £10,000. Many of series 15's contestants had some obscure claim to fame. Helen Wood was subject to an injunction preventing her from discussing an actor she'd been with. Mark Byron had been on Shipwrecked and The X Factor , Winston Showan had appeared on Girlfri3nds , and Chris Hall on Tipping Point . Zoe Birkett also appeared in series 15; she had finished fourth on Pop Idol in 2002, and was probably the most famous person to enter the civilian series. Nathan Fagan-Gayle, who appeared in the Celebrity Hijack version of the programme, would go on to reach the Judges' Houses stage of the ninth series of The X Factor .

In which round of Wimbledon in 2009 was Andy Murray knocked out?	US Open 2009: Andy Murray knocked out by Marin Cilic in fourth round - Telegraph US Open US Open 2009: Andy Murray knocked out by Marin Cilic in fourth round It will be no surprise if, in the coming days, a tape of Andy Murray’s US Open defeat pops up on American cable television on The Mystery Channel. Grand-slammed: Andy Murray expresses his anguish during his comprehensive fourth-round defeat by Marin Cilic at the US Open Photo: GETTY IMAGES By Mark Hodgkinson in New York 9:31PM BST 08 Sep 2009 After turning in his weirdest and flattest performance of this or any other grand slam year, Murray lost to Croatia’s Marin Cilic in straight sets in the fourth round. The news that Murray has had an injury to his left wrist for the past week or so did not come close to properly explaining how this match played out. The lack of energy from the spectators in the Arthur Ashe Stadium, during the first afternoon session after the long Labor Day weekend, probably did not help Murray, the world No 2 and last summer’s runner-up to Roger Federer. It was an utterly odd performance by Murray. After failing to convert a couple of set points in the opening set, he faded badly, including losing seven games in a row. Murray, playing his first grand slam as the world No 2 and the second seed, lost quietly, extremely quietly. There have been times over the course of the season when he has angrily punched the strings of his racket, bloodying his knuckles, but there was no aggression, no punches, no gore here. “He looked like a deer in the headlights after he didn’t break to take the first set,” said Brad Gilbert, Murray’s former coach. “Worse things have happened to me outside tennis, that’s for sure,” Murray said after his 7-5, 6-2, 6-2 defeat, “But it’s the biggest disappointment of my tennis career.” Related Articles Big-time for Andy Murray 07 Sep 2009 Murray, who is regarded as the best returner in the game, did not do much with his opponent’s serve, and Cilic, a 20 year-old ranked 17 in the world, beat a top-three opponent for the first time and went through to his first grand slam quarter-final to play Juan Martin del Potro, of Argentina. Murray’s three previous defeats at the grand slams this year were easier to understand, as Spain’s Fernando Verdasco timed his shots sweetly in the fourth round of the Australian Open, and Chilean Fernando Gonzalez smacked the felt off the balls in the quarter-finals of the French Open. In the semi-finals of this summer’s Wimbledon, America’s Andy Roddick played one of the best matches of his life to beat Murray. However, working out this latest defeat was almost impossible. Only two days earlier Murray had returned the ball beautifully against American Taylor Dent, who was serving at 140mph-plus. In the opening games Cilic made it clear how he was going to play this match; he was going to take a giant backswing on his forehands, and then he was going to welt the ball. Even when a few balls landed long or wide, he carried on swinging, carried on going for his shots. Cilic, who is 6ft 6in, was the only one who was willing to attack. Murray was playing too defensively, even when he had chances to break Cilic in the sixth game of the match. The most impressive, aggressive shot that Murray played in the set came when he was break-point down at 4-4. He went for the bold move of a second-serve ace down the middle of the court, and it worked. But that was on his serve. When rallies developed, Murray was totally risk-averse, not going for anything. His defensive mindset was odd, considering that he had won his previous three meetings with Cilic, including at this year’s French Open. When Cilic was serving at 4-5, 15-40, Murray had his two set-points. There was not much that Murray could have done with the first one, as he could not get his racket near Cilic’s serve, but he could have been much more proactive at 30-40. A long rally ended when Murray’s backhand landed in the net. Cilic held serve for 5-5. Murray played a horrid game to lose his serve to 15. After the changeover, Cilic took a one-set lead when Murray’s attempted drop-shot landed in the net. The problems multiplied in the second set. In the first game Murray reached 40-15 on his serve, only to drop his delivery when he came into the net behind his serve and put his forehand-volley wide. Soon he had dropped his serve for a second time, his forehand landing beyond the baseline. Suddenly, having had those two set-points in the first set, Murray was a set and 0-4 down; he had lost seven games in a row. When Cilic served for a two-set lead, Murray had chances to break, but Cilic finished off the set with an ace. Cilic’s first-serve percentage in the second set had been just over 30, yet Murray had come a very distant second. This was extraordinary. “Good return,” he said sarcastically to himself at one stage. Beyond that he showed no great emotional reaction. Once Cilic had broken Murray’s serve in the first game of the third set, he was almost there. In fact, Cilic broke a second time to go 5-2 up, when Murray’s forehand landed at the bottom of the net. There had not been much emotion from Cilic either during the match, but, after he served it out in the next game, suddenly there was a smile.	Single-elimination tournament
Who was elected as the Speaker of the House of Commons following the resignation of Michael Martin in June 2009?	Wimbledon: Novak Djokovic sensationally knocked out by Sam Querrey in third round \| The Independent Tennis Wimbledon: Novak Djokovic sensationally knocked out by Sam Querrey in third round The reigning SW19 champion and no 1 seed went down 6-7 1-6 6-3 6-7 after a rain-affected match Saturday 2 July 2016 16:06 BST Click to follow The Independent Online Djokovic was beaten three sets to one by the world no 41 in a massive shock on Saturday afternoon Donald Trump to be sued by woman who accused him of sexual assault Novak Djokovic’s hold on all four of the sport’s Grand Slam titles was finally broken in the most unlikely of circumstances. Few would have guessed that Sam Querrey would be the man to end Djokovic’s run of 30 successive victories in Grand Slam matches, especially here at the All England Club, where the world No 1 was attempting to win for the third year in a row, but the big-serving American did just that. In winning their third-round match 7-6, 6-1, 3-6, 7-6, Querrey inflicted Djokovic’s earliest defeat at a Grand Slam tournament since 2009. Having been saved by the rain on Friday evening, when play was called off for the day after he had lost the first two sets, Djokovic was unable to capitalise on the reprieve. Although he won the third set when the match resumed, he still looked ill at ease out on Court One, where the match was regularly disrupted by rain. There were suggestions that the 29-year-old Serb was suffering with a shoulder problem. Djokovic, who said after the match that he would not be playing in Serbia’s forthcoming Davis Cup tie against Britain, did not want to go into any details about his physical condition but when asked if he was 100 per cent fit, he replied: “Not really, but this is not the place and time to talk about it.” Middle Sunday at Wimbledon sells out in half an hour The statistics certainly suggested that the Serb was indeed having some physical difficulties. His average serving speeds – 112 mph on first serve and 93mph on second – were down on his normal figures and the 15 break points he faced in the match were not what you would have expected against an opponent ranked No 41 in the world. His earliest defeat at Wimbledon since 2008 leaves Andy Murray as the favourite to win the title, especially after the Scot reached the fourth round with his third successive straight-sets victory as he beat John Millman 6-3, 7-5, 6-2. The world No 3, Roger Federer, who is also through to the last 16, is the highest ranked player left in the top half of the draw. Querrey, who won the title at Queen’s Club six years ago, is a decent performer on grass, where his big serve can be particularly effective, but there was little in the 28-year-old American’s recent form to suggest that he would be a threat to a player who has won this title three times and has dominated men’s tennis in recent years. “It’s incredible, especially to do it at Wimbledon, the biggest tournament in the world,” the world No 41 said afterwards. “I am so ecstatic right now, so happy.” Djokovic, who had won eight of his previous nine meetings with Querrey, has won 11 of the last 22 Grand Slam tournaments and was aiming to become the first man since Rod Laver in 1969 to hold the first three legs of the calendar-year Grand Slam.. He insisted that the enormity of what he had achieved by winning last month’s French Open – where he became the eighth player to win a “career Grand Slam” and the first for 47 years to hold all four Grand Slam titles at the same time – had not taken too much out of him mentally. Djokovic had come back from two sets down to beat another big server, Kevin Anderson, in the fourth round last year in a match that also took two days to complete, but at no stage in this match did he look at his best. Querrey, in contrast, rose to the occasion and served particularly well, using his 6ft 6in frame to hit some huge serves, especially when Djokovic had break points. The world No 1 had looked decidedly off-colour on Friday, when he lost the second set in just 22 minutes, but when they resumed just after midday he looked more like his old self. He quickly reeled off the first four games of the third set, only for rain to start falling again. Read more Wimbledon: Roger Federer continues to see off home hopes with ease When they returned nearly two hours later Djokovic looked less assured. He was broken when he served for the set at 5-1 before completing the job at the second attempt two games later. In the fourth set the momentum tipped one way and then the other. Both players successfully defended break points before Querrey dropped serve at 4-4. However, the American hit back immediately as Djokovic, serving for the set, netted a volley on break point. The set had been interrupted by a brief rain break at 1-1 and a longer interruption followed after Querrey held serve to go 6-5 up. The two men returned to the court an hour later, upon which Djokovic held serve to force a tie-break. Djokovic went 2-0 up in the tie-break, but Querrey held firm. Trailing 2-3, the American won a 22-shot rally – the longest of the match – on the next point. At 4-5 Djokovic hit a forehand long. The Serb saved a first match point with an ace but on the second he put a forehand wide, upon which Querrey leapt into the air in celebration. “I played the break points really well,” Querrey said afterwards. “Every time he had a break point I was able to come up with a big serve. And in the end I just fought the tie-break and got a couple of loose errors and that was it.” The American said he had slept well on Friday night. “I’m a pretty relaxed guy,” he said. “I had an easy dinner at the house. My parents are there, some friends, my girlfriend. We just kind of hung out.” Djokovic said he had been overpowered. “Sam played a terrific match,” the Serb said. “He served very well, as he usually does. I think that part of his game was brutal today. He made a lot of free points with the first serve. “I knew that it was not going to be easy to break his serve. If he's on a roll, as he was, it's really hard to read his serve. He hits his spots really well. Whenever he had a chance from the rally, he was going for the shots. Most of them were going in. He was just going for it.” Djokovic did not complain about the scheduling but admitted that he felt less comfortable on Court One than he does on Centre Court. “I play 90 per cent of my matches on Centre Court and 10 per cent on the other court. Obviously, naturally I'm going to feel better on the Centre Court.” He also refused to blame the weather, insisting it was the same for both men. Having confirmed that he would not play in Serbia’s Davis Cup quarter-final against Britain in Belgrade, which begins in 13 days’ time, Djokovic was asked whether next month’s Olympics would be his next competitive appearance. “We'll see,” he said. “I have to think about it.” Asked how he would deal with the disappointment of his defeat, Djokovic said: “Thankfully I have a family and I have a life outside of tennis. I have plenty of things to look forward to. I'm going to obviously pay more attention to those things than tennis in the next period. I need it. It's been a very successful year so far, but a very long one, an exhausting one, in every sense of that word. I just need some rest.” More about:	i don't know
