Robin Leach of the Las Vegas Sun reported he was told attendance was down and the entertainment was terrible.\n\nRichard Abowitz, who covers the adult industry for The Daily Beast termed the show \"lackluster\", noting, \"Though long-billed as the Academy Awards for the adult industry, few take that label seriously anymore. The massive decline in the porn industry\u2019s fortunes thanks to regulatory challenges and piracy and the infinity of sex offerings on the Internet have left the remains of the mainstream porn industry closer to the cheesy and sleazy parody of the other Hollywood that defined porn\u2019s golden era of the '80s.\"\n\nExpressMilwaukee sexuality blogger Laura Anne Stuart expressed mixed feelings about the new BBW Performer of the Year award category: \"On one hand, I\u2019m glad that the most well-known adult industry awards are recognizing that larger women are sexy and sexual. On the other hand, this probably means that the Best Actress and Female Performer of the Year categories will continue to be won by skinny people with preternaturally large boobs and/or butts.\"\n" " In Memoriam " "As the show was beginning, AVN used a segment to pay a tribute to adult-industry personalities who had died since the 2013 awards show, including ''Screw'' publisher Al Goldstein and producer/distributor Morty Gordon.\n" "See also" "\n* Adult Video News Awards\n* AVN Female Performer of the Year Award\n* AVN Best New Starlet Award\n* List of members of the AVN Hall of Fame\n" "Notes" "\n" "External links" "\n\n* - Complete list of nominees, fan favourite nominees and winners\n* 2014 AVN Award Nominees\n* Adult Video News Awards at the Internet Movie Database\n* \n* 2014 AVN Award Winners at the Internet Adult Film Database\n* Trailer for Best Movie '' Underworld'' at YouTube\n\n\n\n"
"3D modeling" "Introduction" "\n\n\n\nIn 3D computer graphics, '''3D modeling''' (or '''three-dimensional modeling''') is the process of developing a mathematical representation of any three-dimensional ''surface'' of an object (either inanimate or living) via specialized software. The product is called a '''3D model'''. It can be displayed as a two-dimensional image through a process called ''3D rendering'' or used in a computer simulation of physical phenomena. The model can also be physically created using 3D printing devices.\n\nModels may be created automatically or manually. The manual modeling process of preparing geometric data for 3D computer graphics is similar to plastic arts such as sculpting.\n\n'''3D modeling software''' is a class of 3D computer graphics software used to produce 3D models. Individual programs of this class are called '''modeling applications''' or '''modelers'''.\n" "Models" "Three-dimensional model of a spectrograph \n\nThree-dimensional (3D) models represent a physical body using a collection of points in 3D space, connected by various geometric entities such as triangles, lines, curved surfaces, etc. Being a collection of data (points and other information), 3D models can be created by hand, algorithmically (procedural modeling), or scanned. Their surfaces may be further defined with texture mapping.\n\n3D models are widely used anywhere in 3D graphics and CAD. Actually, their use predates the widespread use of 3D graphics on personal computers. Many computer games used pre-rendered images of 3D models as sprites before computers could render them in real-time.\n\nToday, 3D models are used in a wide variety of fields. The medical industry uses detailed models of organs; these may be created with multiple 2-D image slices from an MRI or CT scan. The movie industry uses them as characters and objects for animated and real-life motion pictures. The video game industry uses them as assets for computer and video games. The science sector uses them as highly detailed models of chemical compounds. The architecture industry uses them to demonstrate proposed buildings and landscapes in lieu of traditional, physical architectural models. The engineering community uses them as designs of new devices, vehicles and structures as well as a host of other uses. In recent decades the earth science community has started to construct 3D geological models as a standard practice. 3D models can also be the basis for physical devices that are built with 3D printers or CNC machines.\n\n===Representation===\nA modern render of the iconic Utah teapot model developed by Martin Newell (1975). The Utah teapot is one of the most common models used in 3D graphics education.\nAlmost all 3D models can be divided into two categories.\n* '''Solid''' - These models define the volume of the object they represent (like a rock). Solid models are mostly used for engineering and medical simulations, and are usually built with constructive solid geometry\n* '''Shell/boundary''' - these models represent the surface, e.g. the boundary of the object, not its volume (like an infinitesimally thin eggshell). Almost all visual models used in games and film are shell models.\n\nSolid and shell modeling can create functionally identical objects. Differences between them are mostly variations in the way they are created and edited and conventions of use in various fields and differences in types of approximations between the model and reality.\n\nShell models must be manifold (having no holes or cracks in the shell) to be meaningful as a real object. Polygonal meshes (and to a lesser extent subdivision surfaces) are by far the most common representation. Level sets are a useful representation for deforming surfaces which undergo many topological changes such as fluids.\n\nThe process of transforming representations of objects, such as the middle point coordinate of a sphere and a point on its circumference into a polygon representation of a sphere, is called tessellation. This step is used in polygon-based rendering, where objects are broken down from abstract representations (\"primitives\") such as spheres, cones etc., to so-called ''meshes'', which are nets of interconnected triangles. Meshes of triangles (instead of e.g. squares) are popular as they have proven to be easy to rasterise (the surface described by each triangle is planar, so the projection is always convex); . Polygon representations are not used in all rendering techniques, and in these cases the tessellation step is not included in the transition from abstract representation to rendered scene.\n" "Modeling process" "3D polygonal modelling of a human face.\n\nThere are three popular ways to represent a model:\n# '''Polygonal modeling''' - Points in 3D space, called '''vertices''', are connected by line segments to form a polygon mesh. The vast majority of 3D models today are built as textured polygonal models, because they are flexible and because computers can render them so quickly. However, polygons are planar and can only approximate curved surfaces using many polygons.\n# '''Curve modeling''' - Surfaces are defined by curves, which are influenced by weighted control points. The curve follows (but does not necessarily interpolate) the points. Increasing the weight for a point will pull the curve closer to that point. Curve types include nonuniform rational B-spline (NURBS), splines, patches, and geometric primitives\n# '''Digital sculpting''' - Still a fairly new method of modeling, 3D sculpting has become very popular in the few years it has been around. There are currently three types of digital sculpting: Displacement, which is the most widely used among applications at this moment, uses a dense model (often generated by subdivision surfaces of a polygon control mesh) and stores new locations for the vertex positions through use of a 32bit image map that stores the adjusted locations. Volumetric, loosely based on voxels, has similar capabilities as displacement but does not suffer from polygon stretching when there are not enough polygons in a region to achieve a deformation. Dynamic tessellation is similar to voxel but divides the surface using triangulation to maintain a smooth surface and allow finer details. These methods allow for very artistic exploration as the model will have a new topology created over it once the models form and possibly details have been sculpted. The new mesh will usually have the original high resolution mesh information transferred into displacement data or normal map data if for a game engine.\n\nThe modeling stage consists of shaping individual objects that are later used in the scene. There are a number of modeling techniques, including:\n* Constructive solid geometry\n* Implicit surfaces\n* Subdivision surfaces\n\nModeling can be performed by means of a dedicated program (e.g., Cinema 4D, Maya, 3ds Max, Blender, LightWave, Modo) or an application component (Shaper, Lofter in 3ds Max) or some scene description language (as in POV-Ray). In some cases, there is no strict distinction between these phases; in such cases modeling is just part of the scene creation process (this is the case, for example, with Caligari trueSpace and Realsoft 3D).\n\nComplex materials such as blowing sand, clouds, and liquid sprays are modeled with particle systems, and are a mass of 3D coordinates which have either points, polygons, texture splats, or sprites assigned to them.\n\n===Human models===\n\n\nThe first widely available commercial application of human virtual models appeared in 1998 on the Lands' End web site. The human virtual models were created by the company My Virtual Mode Inc. and enabled users to create a model of themselves and try on 3D clothing. There are several modern programs that allow for the creation of virtual human models (Poser being one example).\n\n===3D Clothing===\nDynamic 3D Clothing Model made in Marvelous Designer\nThe development of cloth simulation software such as Marvelous Designer, CLO3D and Optitex, has enabled artists and fashion designers to model dynamic 3D clothing on the computer.\nDynamic 3D clothing is used for virtual fashion catalogs, as well as for dressing 3D characters for video games, 3D animation movies, for digital doubles in movies as well as for making clothes for avatars in virtual worlds such as SecondLife.\n" "Compared to 2D methods" "\ntextured and lit rendering of a 3D model.\n3D photorealistic effects are often achieved without wireframe modeling and are sometimes indistinguishable in the final form. Some graphic art software includes filters that can be applied to 2D vector graphics or 2D raster graphics on transparent layers.\n\nAdvantages of wireframe 3D modeling over exclusively 2D methods include:\n* ''Flexibility,'' ability to change angles or animate images with quicker rendering of the changes;\n* ''Ease of rendering,'' automatic calculation and rendering photorealistic effects rather than mentally visualizing or estimating;\n* ''Accurate photorealism,'' less chance of human error in misplacing, overdoing, or forgetting to include a visual effect.\n\nDisadvantages compare to 2D photorealistic rendering may include a software learning curve and difficulty achieving certain photorealistic effects. Some photorealistic effects may be achieved with special rendering filters included in the 3D modeling software. For the best of both worlds, some artists use a combination of 3D modeling followed by editing the 2D computer-rendered images from the 3D model.\n" "3D model market" "\nA large market for 3D models (as well as 3D-related content, such as textures, scripts, etc.) still exists - either for individual models or large collections. Several online marketplaces for 3D content allow individual artists to sell content that they have created. Often, the artists' goal is to get additional value out of assets they have previously created for projects. By doing so, artists can earn more money out of their old content, and companies can save money by buying pre-made models instead of paying an employee to create one from scratch. These marketplaces typically split the sale between themselves and the artist that created the asset, artists get 40% to 95% of the sales according to the marketplace. In most cases, the artist retains ownership of the 3d model; the customer only buys the right to use and present the model. Some artists sell their products directly in its own stores offering their products at a lower price by not using intermediaries.\n\nOver the last several years numerous marketplaces specialized in 3D printing models have emerged. Some of the 3D printing marketplaces are combination of models sharing sites, with or without a built in e-com capability. Some of those platforms also offer 3D printing services on demand, software for model rendering and dynamic viewing of items, etc. 3D printing file sharing platforms include Shapeways, Pinshape, Thingiverse, CGTrader, Threeding, MyMiniFactory, and GrabCAD.\n" "3D printing" "\n3D printing is a form of additive manufacturing technology where a three dimensional object is created by laying down or build from successive layers of material.\n\nIn recent years, there has been an upsurge in the number of companies offering personalized 3D printed models of objects that have been scanned, designed in CAD software, and then printed to the customer's requirements. As previously mentioned, 3D models can be purchased from online marketplaces and printed by individuals or companies using commercially available 3D printers, enabling the home-production of objects such as spare parts, mathematical models, and even medical equipment.\n" "Uses" "Steps of forensic facial reconstruction of a mummy made in Blender by the Brazilian 3D designer C\u00edcero Moraes.\n3D modeling is used in various industries like films, animation and gaming, interior designing and architecture. They are also used in the medical industry for the interactive representations of anatomy. A wide number of 3D software are also used in constructing digital representation of mechanical models or parts before they are actually manufactured. CAD/CAM related software are used in such fields, and with these software, not only can you construct the parts, but also assemble them, and observe their functionality.\n\n3D modelling is also used in the field of Industrial Design, wherein products are 3D modeled before representing them to the clients.\nIn Media and Event industries, 3D modelling is used in Stage/Set Design.\n\nThe OWL 2 translation of the vocabulary of X3D can be used to provide semantic descriptions for 3D models, which is suitable for indexing and retrieval of 3D models by features such as geometry, dimensions, material, texture, diffuse reflection, transmission spectra, transparency, reflectivity, opalescence, glazes, varnishes, and enamels (as opposed to unstructured textual descriptions or 2.5D virtual museums and exhibitions using Google Street View on Google Arts & Culture, for example). The RDF representation of 3D models can be used in reasoning, which enables intelligent 3D applications which, for example, can automatically compare two 3D models by volume.\n" "See also" "\n\n* 3CT\n* List of 3D modeling software\n* List of common 3D test models\n* 3D computer graphics software\n* 3D printing\n* 3D scanner\n* Additive Manufacturing File Format\n* Building information modeling\n* Cloth modeling\n* Computer facial animation\n* Digimation's Library example\n* Digital geometry\n* Edge loop\n* Evolver is a portal, 3D modeler and market place for 3D characters\n* Geological modeling\n* Industrial CT scanning\n* Marching cubes\n* Open CASCADE\n* Polygon mesh\n* Polygonal modeling\n* Scaling (geometry)\n* SIGGRAPH\n* Stanford Bunny\n* Triangle mesh\n* Utah teapot\n* Voxel\n* B-rep\n\n\n" "References" "\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n"
"Action Woman" "Introduction" "\n\n\"'''Action Woman'''\" is a song by the American garage rock band the Litter, written by their record producer Warren Kendrick, and first released as the group's debut single on Scotty Records in January 1967 (''see'' 1967 in music). The song also appeared on the band's first album ''Distortions''. Although \"Action Woman\" never broke out on the national charts, it is now revered as a classic piece of the musical genre of garage rock. Accordingly, the composition has appeared on several compilation albums, and has been the subject of cover versions.\n" "Background" "\nThe Litter formed in 1966 from the remains of two locally popular Minneapolis groups, the Victors and the Tabs. Early into the group's existence, the Litter enjoyed tremendous popularity, particularly in Chicago where the band became regulars at the Electric Theatre as they performed alongside the Byrds and Jethro Tull, among others. During this time, bass guitarist and keyboardist Jim Wane got the Litter in contact with record producer Warren Kendrick, who was a capable instrumentalist in his own right before an arm injury prevented him from performing. Seeing the group's potential, Kendrick signed the Litter to a recording contract to his self-owned record label, Scotty Records, to produce their debut single and subsequent album.\n\n\"Action Woman\", a Kendrick-penned composition about a man in search of a \"woman who'll satisfy his soul\", was chosen for the group's first release. Musically exhibiting heavy influence from the British Invasion bands the Yardbirds and the Who, \"Action Woman\" was marked by distorted guitar riffs and feedback provided by lead guitarist Bill Strandlof. The fuzz-toned instrumentals evident in the song were regularly utilized in the Litter's later recordings, even prompting Kendrick to name their first album ''Distortions''. In addition to Strandlof's motif, the composition was also highlighted by Denny Waite's authoritative and snarling lead vocals, coupled with a raw musical stance emulating from the band's relatively live-recording style.\n\nIn January 1967, \"Action Woman\", with a cover version of Pete Townshend's \"A Legal Matter\" as its B-side, was released and became a regional hit in Minneapolis. The song received a broader audience when it was featured as the opening track to the highly regarded compilation album, ''Pebbles, Volume 1'' in 1979. Music historian Richie Unterberger praised \"Action Woman\", saying it is \"an archetype of the tough '60s garage rock favored by fans of the ''Pebbles'' reissue series\". Along with its inclusion on ''Pebbles'' the composition also appears on the 1998 reissue of ''Nuggets: Original Artyfacts from the First Psychedelic Era, 1965\u20131968'' and ''Trash Box''.\n\nThe song has been covered by multiple groups, the first of which came just a month after the Litter's version by fellow-Minnesota band the Electras. The Electras' rendition, along with sharing Kendrick as their producer, has caused many record collectors to wrongly believe the two groups contained some of the same members. Other versions were recorded by Naz Nomad and the Nightmares during the garage rock revival of the 1980s, Kek '66, and Echo & the Bunnymen.\n" "References" "\n\n\n\n"
"Akira Watase" "Introduction" "\n\n is a Japanese former AV idol who retired from the adult video industry in 2005.\n" "Life and career" "Akira Watase was born July 2, 1980 in Tokyo, Japan. Her AV debut was in the May 2000 Media Station Cosmos Plan release, ''Venus''. After a number of other videos for various AV companies, including Kuki and VIP, Watase retired in 2001 but returned to the AV industry in 2002. Upon her return, she began making videos for Moodyz, a studio she worked with for most of the rest of her career.\n\nIn July 2002, she appeared in the interracial Moodyz video, , which was shot in Los Angeles, California. In this video she engaged in group sex with five African-American men. She was also featured in another interracial video for Moodyz, ''Black Swap in L.A'', which was released in February 2003. Over the course of her adult film career Watase starred in over 200 releases and was considered to be one of the most popular stars of the genre until she retired from the industry in mid-2005.\n\nIn addition to her hardcore work, Watase also starred in the softcore V-Cinema erotic drama which came out in November 2004.\n\nWatase had appeared in an \"uncensored\" video - one without the mosaic censoring of the genitals required in Japanese pornography - as early as November 2003 with the release of ''Super Idol Vol. 33: Akira Watase'' by FantaDream and several more uncensored videos were released after her retirement from the Japanese AV scene.\n\nIn August 2008, Watase reappeared in the AV industry under the name of \"Rei Narumi\" (\u306a\u308b\u307f\u793c) with a release under that new name coming out in September for DEEP's, one of the companies in the large Japanese adult video conglomerate Soft On Demand (SOD), although the content appears to be a re-edit of a 2005 release.\n" "Filmography" "{| class=\"wikitable sortable\"\n Release date\n Video title\n Company\n Director\n Notes\n\n 2000-05-28 (VHS)2000-07-29 (DVD)\n ''Venus''\n Cosmos PlanIT-27 (VHS)MDS029 (DVD)\n Yuji Sakamoto\n '''AV debut'''\n\n 2000-06-30\n ''Killer Kiss''\n Cosmos PlanIT-35\n Daimei Kurata\n \n\n 2000-07-30\n ''Marionette's Honey''\n Cosmos PlanIT-41\n Asao Takai\n \n\n 2000-08-30\n ''Be My Dutchwife''\n KUKI TankKT-464\n Yuji Osawa\n \n\n 2000-09-30\n ''Queen of Legs''\n VIPVIP-033\n Demo Tanaka\n \n\n 2000-10-30\n ''Body Gorgeous''\n VIPVIP-035\n \n \n\n 2000-11-30\n ''Climax XYZ''\n VIPVIP-039\n \n \n\n 2000-12-30\n ''Horny Bunny''\n KUKI TankKT-486\n KC Takeda\n \n\n 2001-01-05\n ''Gorgeous No.1''\n KasakuraCAV39-32\n \n \n\n 2001-01-22\n ''No.1''\n KUKI VinylJF-644\n Happy Yamada/Casey Takeda\n \n\n 2001-01-27\n ''Ecstasy Kiss DC''\n Cosmos PlanMDV-029\n \n Extended Director's Cut (DC) version of ''Killer Kiss''\n\n 2001-02-09\n ''How To Perfect''\n Wanz FactoryHP-106\n \n \n\n 2001-02-18\n ''Chi-Sei''\n KasakuraCAV39-39\n \n \n\n 2001-03-07\n ''Bejean 11 - Akira Watase''\n MomotaroBE-55\n Masao Tanaka\n \n\n 2001-03-09\n ''Slut Actress 26''\n Waap Entertainment KohshiroCHD-026\n \n \n\n 2001-03-24\n ''Secret Play of a Marionette''\n Cosmos PlanMDV-031\n \n Extended DVD version of ''Marionette's Honey''\n\n 2001-06-16\n ''Tits TANK Angels 9''\n KUKI TankKT-516\n Jango\n Compilation with Manami Yoshii, Marie Takano, Milk Ichigo, Nakamura Usagi & Rara Kusakari\n\n 2002-02-15\n ''Knock on the Heaven's Door''\n Moodyz ImperialMDI-038\n Butta Sato\n \n\n 2002-04-22\n ''Angel''\n IdeaPocket AngelAND-093\n \n \n\n 2002-05-01\n ''Soft Skin, Hot Blooded...''\n Attackers SharkSHK-156\n \n \n\n 2002-05-22\n ''Do You Wanna Fuck?''\n Moodyz ImperialMDID-126\n Hiroa\n \n\n 2002-06-07\n ''Dream Shower No. 41''\n Waap Entertainment BeautyBTD-041\nJoStyle\n \n\n 2002-06-15\n ''Knock on the Heaven's Door 2''\n Moodyz ImperialMDID-135\n Bunchou Yoshino\n \n\n 2002-07-15\n ''Black Semen in LA: Akira Watase''\n Moodyz WildMDWD-034\n Sumioshin\n \n\n 2002-08\n ''RQ Circuit Lady''\n FreeVision / Golden CandyCA-1552\n \n \n\n 2002-08-04\n ''New Cherry Boy Hunting, Vol.2 ''\n SODSDDE-024\n \n \n\n 2002-09-30\n ''Sex Juice 3''\n h.m.p.

"Alpaca" "Introduction" "\n\n\n\n\nAn '''alpaca''' (''Vicugna pacos'') is a domesticated species of South American camelid. It resembles a small llama in appearance.\n\nThere are two breeds of alpaca; the Suri alpaca and the Huacaya alpaca.\n\nAlpacas are kept in herds that graze on the level heights of the Andes of southern Peru, northern Bolivia, Ecuador, and northern Chile at an altitude of to above sea level, throughout the year. Alpacas are considerably smaller than llamas, and unlike llamas, they were not bred to be beasts of burden, but were bred specifically for their fiber. Alpaca fiber is used for making knitted and woven items, similar to wool. These items include blankets, sweaters, hats, gloves, scarves, a wide variety of textiles and ponchos in South America, and sweaters, socks, coats and bedding in other parts of the world. The fiber comes in more than 52 natural colors as classified in Peru, 12 as classified in Australia and 16 as classified in the United States.\n\nIn the textile industry, \"alpaca\" primarily refers to the hair of Peruvian alpacas, but more broadly it refers to a style of fabric originally made from alpaca hair, but now often made from similar fibers, such as mohair, Icelandic sheep wool, or even high-quality English wool. In trade, distinctions are made between alpacas and the several styles of mohair and luster.\n\nAn adult alpaca generally is between in height at the shoulders (withers). They usually weigh .\n" "Background" "Guanacos (wild parent species of llamas) near Torres del Paine, Chile\n\nAlpacas have been domesticated for thousands of years. The Moche people of northern Peru often used alpaca images in their art. There are no known wild alpacas, and its closest living relative, the ''vicu\u00f1a'' (also native to South America), are believed to be the wild ancestor of the alpaca. The alpaca is larger than the vicu\u00f1a, but smaller than the other camelid species.\n\nAlong with camels and llamas, alpacas are classified as camelids. Of the various camelid species, the alpaca and vicu\u00f1a are the most valuable fiber-bearing animals: the alpaca because of the quality and quantity of its fiber, and the vicu\u00f1a because of the softness, fineness and quality of its coat.\n\nAlpacas are too small to be used as pack animals. Instead, they are bred exclusively for their fiber and meat. Alpaca meat was once considered a delicacy by Andean inhabitants. Because of the high price commanded by alpaca on the growing North American alpaca market, illegal alpaca smuggling has become a growing problem. \nIn 2014, a company was formed claiming to be the first to export US-derived alpaca products to China.\n\nAlpacas and llamas can successfully cross-breed. The resulting offspring are called ''huarizo'', which are valued for their unique fleece and gentle dispositions.\n" "Behavior" "\nCloseup of an alpaca's face\n\nAlpacas are social herd animals that live in family groups consisting of a territorial alpha male, females and their young. Alpacas warn the herd about intruders by making sharp, noisy inhalations that sound like a high-pitched bray. The herd may attack smaller predators with their front feet, and can spit and kick. Their aggression towards members of the canid family (coyotes, foxes, dogs etc.) is exploited when alpacas are used as guard llamas for guarding sheep.\n\n===Spitting===\nNot all alpacas spit, but all are capable of doing so. \"Spit\" is somewhat euphemistic; occasionally the projectile contains only air and a little saliva, although alpacas commonly bring up acidic stomach contents (generally a green, grassy mix) and project it onto their chosen targets. Spitting is mostly reserved for other alpacas, but an alpaca will occasionally spit at a human.\n\nFor alpacas, spitting results in what is called \"sour mouth\". Sour mouth is characterized by a loose-hanging lower lip and a gaping mouth. This is caused by the stomach acids and unpleasant taste of the contents as they pass out of the mouth.\n\n===Hygiene===\nAlpacas use a communal dung pile, where they do not graze. This behaviour tends to limit the spread of internal parasites. Generally, males have much tidier, and fewer dung piles than females, which tend to stand in a line and all go at once. One female approaches the dung pile and begins to urinate and/or defecate, and the rest of the herd often follows.\n\nBecause of their preference for using a dung pile, some alpacas have been successfully house-trained.\n\n===Sounds===\nSuri alpacas\nAlpacas make a variety of sounds. When they are in danger, they make a high-pitched, shrieking whine. Some breeds are known to make a \"wark\" noise when excited. Strange dogs and even catscan trigger this reaction. To signal friendly or submissive behavior, alpacas \"cluck\", or \"click\", a sound possibly generated by suction on the soft palate, or possibly in the nasal cavity.\n\nIndividuals vary, but most alpacas generally make a humming sound. Hums are often comfort noises, letting the other alpacas know they are present and content. The humming can take on many inflections and meanings.\n\nWhen males fight, they make a warbling, bird-like cry, presumably intended to terrify the opponent.\n\n===Reproduction===\nFemales are induced ovulators; the act of mating and the presence of semen causes them to ovulate. Females usually conceive after just one breeding, but occasionally do have trouble conceiving. Artificial insemination is technically difficult, but it can be accomplished. Alpacas conceived from artificial insemination are not registerable with the Alpaca Registry.\n\nA male is usually ready to mate for the first time between two and three years of age. A female alpaca may fully mature (physically and mentally) between 10 and 24 months. It is not advisable to allow a young female to be bred until she is mature, and has reached two-thirds of her mature weight. Over-breeding a young female before conception is possible is a common cause of uterine infections. As the age of maturation varies greatly between individuals, it is usually recommended that novice breeders wait until females are 18 months of age or older before initiating breeding.\n\nThe gestation period is, on average, 11.5 months, and usually results in a single offspring, or ''cria''. Twins are rare, occurring about once per 1000 deliveries. Cria are generally between 15 and 19 pounds, and are standing 30 to 90 minutes after birth. After a female gives birth, she is generally receptive to breeding again after about two weeks. Crias may be weaned through human intervention at about six months old and 60 pounds, but many breeders prefer to allow the female to decide when to wean her offspring; they can be weaned earlier or later depending on their size and emotional maturity.\n\nAlpacas can live for up to 20 years.\n" "Diet" "(video) An Alpaca chewing\nAlpacas require much less food than most animals of their size. They generally eat hay or grasses, but can eat some other plants (e.g. some leaves), and will normally try to chew on almost anything (e.g. empty bottle). Most alpaca ranchers rotate their feeding grounds so the grass can regrow and fecal parasites may die before reusing the area.\n\nAlpacas can eat natural unfertilized grass; however, ranchers can also supplement grass with low-protein grass hay. To provide selenium and other necessary vitamins, ranchers will feed their domestic alpacas a daily dose of grain. Free-range alpacas may obtain the necessary vitamins in their native grazing ranges.\n\n===Digestion===\nAlpacas are '''pseudoruminants''' and, like other camelids, have a three-chambered stomach; combined with chewing cud, this three-chambered system allows maximum extraction of nutrients from low-quality forages.\n\nAlpacas will chew their food in a figure eight motion, swallow the food, and then pass it into one of the stomach's chambers. The first and second chambers (called C1 and C2) are where the fermentation process begins digestion. The alpaca will further absorb nutrients and water in the first part of the third chamber. The end of the third chamber (called C3) is where the stomach secretes acids to digest food, and is the likely place where an alpaca will have ulcers, if stressed. The alpaca digestive system is very sensitive and must be kept healthy and balanced.\n\n===Poisonous plants===\nMany plants are poisonous to the alpaca, including the bracken fern, fireweed, oleander, and some azaleas. In common with similar livestock, others include: acorns, African rue, agave, amaryllis, autumn crocus, bear grass, broom snakeweed, buckwheat, ragweed, buttercups, calla lily, orange tree foliage, carnations, castor beans, and many others.\n" "History of the scientific name" "Shorn alpacas\nThe relationship between alpacas and vicu\u00f1as was disputed for many years. In the 18th and 19th centuries, the four South American lamoid species were assigned scientific names. At that time, the alpaca was assumed to be descended from the llama, ignoring similarities in size, fleece and dentition between the alpaca and the vicu\u00f1a. Classification was complicated by the fact that all four species of South American camelid can interbreed and produce fertile offspring. The advent of DNA technology made a more accurate classification possible.\n\nIn 2001, the alpaca genus classification changed from ''Lama pacos'' to ''Vicugna pacos'', following the presentation of a paper on work by Dr.Jane Wheeler etal. on alpaca DNA to the Royal Society showing the alpaca is descended from the vicu\u00f1a, not the guanaco.\n" "Fiber" "\n\nAlpaca fleece is a lustrous and silky natural fiber. While similar to sheep\u2019s wool, it is warmer, not prickly, and bears no lanolin, which makes it hypoallergenic. Without lanolin, it does not repel water. It is also soft and luxurious. In physical structure, alpaca fiber is somewhat akin to hair, being very glossy. The preparing, carding, spinning, weaving and finishing process of alpaca is very similar to the process used for wool. Alpaca fiber is also flame-resistant, and meets the US Consumer Product Safety Commission's standards.\n\nAlpacas are typically sheared once per year in the spring. Each shearing produces approximately five to ten pounds (2.2\u20134.5 kilograms) of fibre per alpaca. An adult alpaca might produce 50 to 90 ounces (1420\u20132550 grams) of first-quality fibre as well as 50 to 100 ounces (1420\u20132840 grams) of second- and third-quality fibre.\n" "Prices" "The price for American alpacas can range from US$50 for a castrated male (gelding) to US$500,000 for the highest of champions in the world, depending on breeding history, sex, and color.\nAccording to an academic study, though, the higher prices sought for alpaca breeding stock are largely speculative and not supported by market fundamentals, given the low inherent returns per head from the main end product, alpaca fiber, and prices into the $100s per head rather than $10,000s would be required for a commercially viable fiber production herd. Breeding stock prices in Australia have fallen from A$10,000\u201330,000 head in 1997 to an average of A$3,000\u20134,000 today.\n\nIt is possible to raise up to 25 alpacas per hectare (10 alpacas per acre), as they have a designated area for waste products and keep their eating area away from their waste area. However, this ratio differs from country to country and is highly dependent on the quality of pasture available (in many desert locations it is generally only possible to run one to three animals per acre due to lack of suitable vegetation). Fiber quality is the primary variant in the price achieved for alpaca wool; in Australia, it is common to classify the fiber by the thickness of the individual hairs and by the amount of vegetable matter contained in the supplied shearings.\n" "Livestock" "A Bolivian man and his alpaca\nAlpacas need to eat 1\u20132% of body weight per day, so about two bales of grass hay per month per animal. When formulating a proper diet for alpacas, water and hay analysis should be performed to determine the proper vitamin and mineral supplementation program. Two options are to provide free choice salt/mineral powder, or feed a specially formulated ration. Indigenous to the highest regions of the Andes, this harsh environment has created an extremely hardy animal, so only minimal housing and predator fencing are needed. The alpaca\u2019s three-chambered stomachs allow for extremely efficient digestion. There are no viable seeds in the manure, because alpacas prefer to only eat tender plant leaves, and will not consume thick plant stems; therefore, alpaca manure does not need composting to enrich pastures or ornamental landscaping. Nail and teeth trimming is needed every six to twelve months, along with annual shearing.\n\nSimilar to ruminants, such as cattle and sheep, alpacas have only lower teeth at the front of their mouths; therefore, they do not pull grass up by the roots. Rotating pastures is still important, though, as alpacas have a tendency to regraze an area repeatedly. Alpacas are fiber-producing animals; they do not need to be slaughtered to reap their product, and their fiber is a renewable resource that grows yearly.\n" "See also" "* ''Skrjabinema''\n*Llama\n*Vicu\u00f1a\n*Alpaca fiber\n" "References" "\n" "Notes" "*\n" "External links" "\n\n* International Alpaca Association (IAA)\n* View the alpaca genome in Ensembl\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n"

She then left the cast in London to repeat her performance in New York in October 1956. In the 1990s she appeared with Alan Bennett in a dramatised reading of T.S. Eliot's and Virginia Woolf's letters in a production at the Charleston Festival devised by Patrick Garland.\n\nSeveral of her early film roles were in mystery thrillers. She made her cinema debut in the Scotland Yard film ''Gideon's Day'' (1958), as Sally, daughter of Jack Hawkins's Detective Inspector. The director was her godfather John Ford. She played a potential murder victim in Michael Powell's cult thriller ''Peeping Tom'' (1960) and appeared in Otto Preminger's ''Bunny Lake Is Missing'' (1965). In 1972, she played the role of the barmaid Babs in Alfred Hitchcock's penultimate film ''Frenzy''. In the documentary on the film's DVD release, Massey mentioned that she originally auditioned for the much smaller role of the secretary Monica, a part for which Jean Marsh was cast. She also noted that her character's nude scenes in ''Frenzy'' were performed by body doubles. Massey appeared with her brother Daniel playing deadly siblings in the horror film ''The Vault of Horror'' (1973).\n\nMassey continued to make occasional film and stage appearances, but worked more frequently in television, making her first small screen appearance as Jacqueline in ''Green of the Year'' in October 1955 and in dramas such as ''The Pallisers'' (1974), the 1978 adaptation of ''Rebecca'' (in which she starred with her ex-husband, Jeremy Brett), ''The Mayor of Casterbridge'' (1978), ''The Cherry Orchard'' (1980), and ''Anna Karenina'' (1985). She had roles in the British comedy series ''The Darling Buds of May'' (1991) and ''The Robinsons'' (2005). She also appeared in a number of mysteries and thrillers on television, including episodes of ''Inspector Morse'', ''The Inspector Alleyn Mysteries'', ''Midsomer Murders'', ''Strange'', ''Lewis'', and ''Agatha Christie's Poirot''.\n\nWith Imelda Staunton, she co-devised and starred as Josephine Daunt in ''Daunt and Dervish'' on BBC radio. She was the narrator of ''This Sceptred Isle'' on BBC Radio 4, a history of Britain from Roman times which ran for more than 300 fifteen-minute episodes. In 2009, she also appeared in a new radio version of ''The Killing of Sister George''.\n\nIn 1987, Massey was awarded the British Academy TV Award for Best Actress for her role in ''Hotel du Lac'' after acquiring the TV rights two years earlier, only a few weeks before the novel won the Booker Prize. She also appeared as Mrs. D'Urberville in the 2008 BBC adaptation of ''Tess of the D'Urbervilles'', an older version of May and as Rosie in ''An Angel For May'', and in the 2004 BBC version of ''Our Mutual Friend''.\n" "Acting style" "One of Massey's assets as an actress was her \"extraordinary voice... it was so listenable.\" Although Massey's parts were varied, her \"cut-glass English accent conveyed a cold and repressed character on screen\". Michael Billington of ''The Guardian'' characterised her work as being informed by \"stillness\", such as in the National Theatre's production of Harold Pinter's ''A Kind of Alaska''.\n\nShe was known for a high level of preparation and effort, with one producer saying that she had a practice of using five different coloured pens on scripts to mark out \"breaths and pauses\" and the development of a scene, for example \"if a phrase early in a paragraph was going to be picked up again later, she would highlight those two bits in the same colour, so that it would remind her that that first phrase was referring to something later.\"\n" "Personal life" "In the New Year's Honours List published 31 December 2004 she was created a Commander of the Order of the British Empire (CBE) for services to drama.\n\nMassey published an autobiography in 2006, ''Telling Some Tales'', in which she revealed a difficult early life and discussed her failed marriage (1958\u20131962) to actor Jeremy Brett, discussing his struggle with bipolar disorder. The couple had one son, writer and illustrator David Huggins (b. 1959). At an August 1988 dinner party held at the home of their mutual friend, Joy Whitby, she met Russian-born metallurgist Uri Andres, who had been based at Imperial College, London since 1975. The couple were married from November 1988 until her death in 2011.\n\nMassey was quoted as saying, \"Theatre eats up too much of your family life. I have a grandson and a husband and I'd rather I was able to be a granny and a wife.\"\n\nMassey died from cancer on 3 July 2011, aged 73.\n" "Selected TV and filmography" "{| class=\"wikitable sortable\"\n Year\n Title\n Role\n Notes\n\n1958\n''Gideon's Day''\nSally Gideon\n\n\n1960\n''Peeping Tom''\nHelen Stephens\n\n\n1963\n''The Trip to Biarritz''\nMarjorie Robertson\n\n\n1965\n''Bunny Lake Is Missing''\nElvira Smollett\n\n\n1969\n''De Sade''\nRen\u00e9e de Montreuil\n\n\n1970\n''The Looking Glass War''\nAvery's Wife\n\n\n1970\n''Wicked Women''\nChristiana Edmunds\n TV episode\n\n1972\n''Frenzy''\nBabs Milligan\n\n\n1973\n''The Vault of Horror''\nDonna Rogers\n(segment 1 \"Midnight Mess\")\n\n1973\n''A Doll's House''\nKristine Linde\n\n\n1974\n''The Pallisers''\nLaura Kennedy\nTV miniseries\n\n1978\n''The Mayor of Casterbridge''\nLucetta Templeman\n\n\n1979\n''Rebecca''\nMrs. Danvers\nTV miniseries\n\n1979\n''A Little Romance''\nMs. Seigel\n\n\n1980\n''Sweet William''\nEdna McClusky\n\n\n1982\n''Five Days One Summer''\nJennifer Pierce\n\n\n1983\n''Mansfield Park''\nMrs. Norris\nTV series\n\n1984\n''Another Country''\nImogen Bennett\n\n\n1984\n''Journey into the Shadows: Portrait of Gwen John''\nGwen John\nTV film\n\n1984\n''The Little Drummer Girl''\nChairlady\n\n\n1984\n''The Chain''\nBetty\n\n\n1985\n''Sacred Hearts''\nSister Thomas\n\n\n1986\n''Hotel du Lac''\nEdith Hope\nBAFTA award-winning TV role\n\n1986\n''Foreign Body''\nMiss Furze\n\n\n1987\n''A Hazard of Hearts''\nEudora, Serena's Maid\n\n\n1988\n''La couleur du vent''\nNorma\n\n\n1989\n''The Tall Guy''\nMary\n\n\n1989\n''A Tale of Two Cities''\nMiss Pross\n\n\n1989\n''Around the World in 80 Days''\nQueen Victoria\n\n\n1990\n''Mountains of the Moon''\nMrs. Arundell\n\n\n1990\n''Killing Dad or How to Love Your Mother''\nEdith\n\n\n1991\n''Impromptu''\nGeorge Sand's mother\n\n\n1992\n''Inspector Morse''\nLady Emily Balcombe\nTV series, 'Happy Families'\n\n1992\n''Emily's Ghost''\nMiss Rabstock\n\n\n1995\n''The Grotesque''\nMrs. Giblet\n\n\n1995\n''Angels & Insects''\nMiss Mead\n\n\n1995\n''Haunted''\nNanny Tess Webb\n\n\n1996\n''Sweet Angel Mine''\nMother\n\n\n1997\n''Driftwood''\nMother\n\n\n1997\n''The Slab Boys''\nMiss Elsie Walkinshaw\n\n\n1997\n''Deja Vu''\nFern Stoner\n\n\n1998\n''Midsomer Murders''\nHonoria Lyddiard\nEpisode \"Written in Blood\"\n\n1999\n''Captain Jack''\nPhoebe Pickles\n\n\n1999\n''Mad Cows''\nDwina Phelps\n\n\n2000\n''Room to Rent''\nSarah \u2013 A healer\n\n\n2001\n''Dark Blue World'' \nEnglish teacher\n\n\n2002\n''The Importance of Being Earnest''\nMiss Prism\n\n\n2002\n''Possession''\nLady Bailey\n\n\n2004\n''The Machinist''\nMrs Shrike\n\n\n2004\n''He Knew He Was Right''\nMiss Stanbury\nTV film\n\n2004\n''Belonging''\nHerself\nTV film\n\n2005\n''Mrs. Palfrey at the Claremont''\nMrs Arbuthnot\n\n\n2005\n''The Worst Week of My Life''\nAunt Yvonne\n\n\n2006\n''The Gigolos''\nEdwina\n\n\n2007\n''Fairy Stories by The Brothers Grimm''\nNarrator\nAudiobook\n\n2007\n''Lewis''\nProfessor Margaret Gold\n\n\n2007\n''Oliver Twist''\nMrs Bedwin\nTV miniseries\n\n2008\n''Doctor Who \u2013 The Girl Who Never Was''\nMiss Pollard\n8th Doctor audiobook\n\n2008\n''The Oxford Murders''\nMrs. Julia Eagleton\n\n\n2008\n''Affinity''\nMiss Haxby\nTV film\n\n2008\n''Tess of the D'Urbervilles''\nMrs D'Urberville\nTV miniseries\n\n2009\n''Midsomer Murders''\nBrenda Packard\nEpisode \"Secrets & Spies\"\n\n2010\n''The Clocks''\nMiss Pebmarsh\n\n\n2011\n''Act of Memory''\nOlder Maria\nshort, (Last appearance)\n\n" "Books" "* \n" "See also" "*Massey family\n" "References" "\n" "External links" "*\n*\n* Stage performances in Theatre Archive University of Bristol\n*\n* Obituary in ''The Independent''\n* Obituary in ''The Telegraph''\n*\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n"
"Arvind Gaur" "Introduction" "\n\n\n'''Arvind Gaur''' ( \u0905\u0930\u0935\u093f\u0928\u094d\u0926 \u0917\u094c\u0930), Indian theatre director, is known for his work in innovative, socially and politically relevant theatre in India. Gaur's plays are contemporary and thought-provoking, connecting intimate personal spheres of existence to larger social political issues. His work deals with Internet censorship, communalism, caste issues, feudalism, domestic violence, crimes of state, politics of power, violence, injustice, social discrimination, marginalisation, and racism. Arvind is the leader of Asmita, Delhi's \"most prolific theatre group\", and is an actor trainer, social activist, street theatre worker and story teller.\n\nGaur was the recipient of a research fellowship awarded by the Ministry of Human Resource Development (India) (1997\u201398). He was on the guest faculty of Delhi University for Theatre in education program for three years. He has conducted many theatre workshops and performed in colleges, institutions, universities and schools in India and abroad.\n\nHe has organized theatre workshops for children in schools and slums as well as street theatre performances on socio-political issues. He has directed more than 60 stage plays over two decades.\n" " Personal life " "He was born on 2 February 1963 in Delhi. Arvind\u2019s father Shri Shiva Nandan Sharma (died on 16.04.09) was a Maths scholar and his mother Saraswati Devi is a housewife. He has one brother, Anil Gaur, and three sisters: Shashi Prabha, late Mithlesh and Dr. Anita Gaur. His wife Dr. Sangeeta Gaur is a very talented vocalist, composer and music director. He has twin daughters Kakoli and Saveree.\n" " Theatre career " "After completing his schooling from Model School, Vivek Vihar in Delhi, he decided to study engineering in Electronic Communication. Later, he joined the Delhi Public Library drama group. In DPL He acted in and directed plays. Then he worked with slum kids and industrial labourers for some time and conducted workshops for them. His first street play was with Zakir Hussein College, called ''Videshi Aya''. It became very popular and he staged it around 200 schools. After this, his desire to express led him to journalism. He worked with the ''Navbharat Times'' newspaper as culture columnist for about four years.\n\nWatching plays, reading about them and writing about them is how his training in theatre started. He then shifted to Press Trust of India (PTI-TV). He was associated with TV serial ''Tana-Bana''. He was in charge of the research and programming there. All through his years with street theatre, print and television, Gaur had developed keen interest in direction. Finally, after devoting two years to PTI-TV, he felt the urge to switch to theatre completely.\n\n=== Theatre journey ===\nArvind's debut play was Bhisham Sahni's ''Hanoosh'' (February, 1993). He started his theatre journey with classics like ''Tughlaq'', ''Andha Yug'', ''Caligula'', ''Julius Caesar'', etc.\n\nHe performed Girish Karnad's ''Tughlaq'' in a small basement theatre (SRC). It was a huge success. His ''Tughlaq'' was selected as \"the best play of the year 1994\" by Sahitya Kala Parishad. He achieved greater heights during a decade in theatre. He trained actors in his own style. He trained them as a complete theatre person. Arvind Gaur also collaborated with theatre artists and groups specially in exploring a new language for solo performances.\n" " Major directions " "* Girish Karnad's Tughlaq translations by B. V.

"A Star Is Bored" "Introduction" "\n\n'''''A Star Is Bored''''' is a Warner Bros. animated cartoon of the ''Looney Tunes'' series, directed by Friz Freleng. The cartoon is mainly made up of reused footage from earlier cartoons to expand upon the rivalry depicted between Bugs and Daffy in such films as Chuck Jones' ''Rabbit Fire'', this time placing the action in a show-biz setting. In this 7-minute short, Daffy must double for Bugs in ''any'' slapstick that Warners deems too dangerous for its top star. After each disaster, Daffy shouts \"MAKEUP\". The unseen director directing the scenes has a Erich Von Stroheim accent.\n\nThis is one of the only two Warner Bros. shorts (the other being ''This Is A Life?'') in which Bugs is paired with his main three antagonists.\n" "Plot" "The opening frame depicts the exterior of Bugs' dressing room, inside which he is talking to the journalist, Lolly (a reference to the nickname of famed Hollywood columnist Louella Parsons). Outside, we see Daffy sweeping arguing about the job he got. Fed up, Daffy decides to be a movie star.\n\nDaffy then marches into the casting director's (possibly Jack L. Warner) office just as he is on the phone with another executive discussing the difficulty in finding anyone \"''stupid enough''\" to be Bugs' stunt double for his next picture. Daffy of course takes the job!\n\nAfter a visit to the Make-Up Department, Daffy gets his first taste of on-the-set film action shortly thereafter (a Western co-starring Yosemite Sam). Initially, Daffy is extremely excited to be finally in any motion picture. He takes Bugs' place in a rabbit costume and holding a carrot, and stands next to Sam. Daffy gets the worst of it instead of Bugs!\n\nNext, Bugs is in a scene where Elmer Fudd is cast in his usual role as trying to hunt Bugs. Bugs is high in a tree, and Elmer is supposed to climb it to saw the branch Bugs is sitting on, off (though not all the way through, as Bugs reminds him). However, Daffy has other ideas. He tells Elmer to come closer to him, as he has something to tell him. Lacking a clue to Daffy's actual motive, Elmer shuffles closer to Daffy, who whacks him in the head to knock him out. Daffy tries to upstage Bugs by sawing off the branch Bugs is on; unfortunately for Daffy, the branch Bug stands on is solid, while the part Daffy stands on falls to the ground!\n\nAfter this sequence, Bugs is fishing off a pier, but Daffy takes no notice . He also takes Bugs' place at the end of the pier and his fishing rod. Yet he is not safe from the film script even now, as a giant bluefin tuna swallows him whole.\n\nAnother scene wherein Bugs is chased by Elmer follows this one, culminating when Bugs dives into another tree. With the '''\"'''''scwewy wabbit'''''\"''' cornered, Elmer aims his gun into the tree but gets poked in the rear by the gun's barrel (in reality, it's really Bugs holding another gun). When Elmer pulls his gun back, the other one makes the same movements. Wondering just how stupid Elmer is, Daffy furiously marches onto the set, snatches Elmer's gun and shoves him off. Daffy sticks the gun into the hole in the tree in which Bugs is hiding but what he believes to be another gun (in reality it's HIS gun bent around so that it points at his hindquarters) sticks up through a hole in the ground just behind him! Daffy retracts his gun; the \"other\" gun does the same. Daffy does this two or three more times before he decides to try a small experiment. He ties a red ribbon around the barrel of his gun, then sticks it into the tree, and looks behind him. The ribbon on the gun in the ground is white with red polka dots, leading Daffy to believe it to be a fake. He shoots, intending to mark Bugs, but the bent-around gun plan is revealed when the bullet hits him in the hindquarters and he pulls the gun out of the tree. The ribbon is white with red spots! Daffy didn't notice that Bugs switch the ribbon.\n\nThe next scene has Bugs piloting a plane accelerating up to 20,000 feet, then going uncontrollably in the direction of the ground. At the last second, the plane is \"stopped\" before crashing and Bugs get out and his place gets taken by Daffy who as usual gets the worst of it!\n\nHaving finally had more than enough, Daffy announces that \"I'm through playin' stooge to a rabbit. I need a part that fits ME!\" to the casting director, who promptly tells the distraught Daffy that he has just such a script: the starring role in a new movie called The Duck.\n\nThe final scene shows the filming of The Duck, with Daffy starring as a typical duck in a peaceful pond and directed by the same man who helmed the earlier movie wherein Daffy subbed for Bugs. Just as in the first scene of the earlier film, Daffy digs out his script to rehearse his line. When the director announces \"Rrrroll 'em,\" Daffy says, \"I wonder where all the hunters are today?\", at which point ten hunters suddenly surround the pond, gun Daffy down and leave. Again infuriated, Daffy shrieks, \"I DEMAND TO KNOW WHO WROTE THIS SCRIPT!\" The cruel screenwriter turns out to be none other than... Bugs, to whom the camera is now transferred and who says, \"I'd love to tell him, but... hehehehe... modesty forbids.\"\n" "Production" "This was the first of the three Friz Freleng Bugs Bunny/Daffy Duck cartoon to be mostly made up of reused animation from earlier cartoons. In terms of production order, the other two were ''Show Biz Bugs'' (1957) and ''Person to Bunny'' (1960).\n" "Cast" "*Mel Blanc as ''Bugs Bunny'', ''Daffy Duck'', ''Yosemite Sam'', ''Producer'' (voice)\n*Arthur Q. Bryan as ''Elmer Fudd'' (voice) (uncredited)\n*June Foray as ''Lolly'' (voice) (uncredited)\n" "Availability" "As of 2007, ''A Star Is Bored'' is available on the four-disc DVD box set ''Looney Tunes Golden Collection: Volume 5'', as well as the similar, two-disc DVD ''Looney Tunes Spotlight Collection: Volume 5''. It is also available as a bonus on the PlayStation 2 version of \nLooney Tunes: Back in Action, and the \"Daffy Duck's Madcap Mania\" VHS. The short is also available on the 2011 DVD ''The Essential Daffy Duck''.\n" "See also" "*List of American films of 1956\n* List of Bugs Bunny cartoons\n* List of Daffy Duck cartoons\n* List of Yosemite Sam cartoons\n" "References" "\n" "External links" "* \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n"

"Baby Bunny Smith" "Introduction" "\n'''Helen \"Baby Bunny\" Smith''' (1888\u20131951), was an American actress and sideshow performer. She made her living traveling with sideshows in the early 20th-century billed as a circus fat lady.\n\nShe was born in Portland, Oregon in April 1901. Despite a normal childhood she became very heavy during grammar school. She left school and took a job as a sideshow performer at the age of 13. Her weight ballooned to as much as 500\u00a0lbs. She became known as \"Baby Bunny Smith\" during her sideshow career.\n\nShe met her husband, 58\u00a0lb Peter Robinson, a fellow sideshow performer known and billed as \"the human skeleton\", while filming the cult classic ''Freaks''. They had two children. Smith was diagnosed as hypothyroid in 1951 and died shortly after of a heart attack.\n" "References" "\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n"
"Bageye at the Wheel" "Introduction" "\n'''''Bageye at the Wheel''''' is a 2012 novel by British author Colin Grant, giving a semi-autobiographical account of 1970s' Luton through the portrayal of the lead character Clinton \"Bageye\" Grant, a Jamaican migrant to the UK. The story itself is one of observation of a period whereby a provincial town of immigrants (a mixture of Irish, Asian and Caribbean) and their larger families congregate, yet try to assimilate into a British culture which had not yet been accustomed to diversity among ethnicities. Nevertheless, this indifference to a somewhat unforgiving environment is neatly summed up by the unwavering, independent \"Bageye\", who refuses to blend in but rather stand out as a linchpin for the so-called \"''Windrush'' generation\".\n\nAccording to the review in ''The Guardian'': \"In its toughness and tenderness, as well as its sensuous and telling details, Bageye at the Wheel is a father memoir that deserves to be as celebrated as Ian Jack's essay \"Finished With Engines\" or Gary Imlach's My Father and Other Working-Class Football Heroes. It's a quietly unforgettable book about innocence and experience, about memory and cruelty \u2013 and the cruelty of memory.\" For Peter Carty in ''The Independent'', \"a lot of the book's appeal comes from Grant's insider perspective on the Afro-Caribbean experience in the UK.\" Keith Bruce notes in ''The Herald'': \"These pages are populated by a bunch of immigrant men who have bestowed Truman Capote-style nicknames on each other. There's the popular Summer Wear (really one Ian Dixon) with his unseasonal clothing, the fastidious Tidy Boots and the tardy Soon Come. The opening chapters are stand-alone short stories about the domestic adventures of Bageye and these \"spars\" and are almost reminiscent of Tom Sawyer.\"\n\nColin Grant is a historian and BBC producer. He is also the author of ''Negro with a Hat'', a biography of Marcus Garvey, and ''I&I: The Natural Mystics'', a group biography of The Wailers, Bob Marley, Peter Tosh and Bunny Livingston.\n" "References" "\n\n\n\n\n\n"
"Barry Reilly" "Introduction" "\n\n'''Barry \u2018Bunny\u2019 Reilly''' (born Warwick, Queensland), is an Australian former rugby league footballer of the 1960s and 1970s.\n" "Career" "\nHe played in the NSWRFL Premiership for the Eastern Suburbs Roosters from 1966\u201371 and 1973\u201379, and the Cronulla-Sutherland Sharks in 1972.\n\nReilly was also known as 'The Axe\u2019 because of his defensive technique, which it was said allowed him to chop down opposition attackers like an axe. Reilly was a member of the Eastern Suburbs premiership-winning sides in 1974 and 1975. During the 1976 NSWRFL season, Reilly played as a prop forward for Eastern Suburbs in their unofficial 1976 World Club Challenge match against British champions St. Helens in Sydney.\n\nAlso a backrower, Reilly played almost 200 matches for the Roosters and was named as a bench player in that club's \u2019Team Of The Century\u2019.\n\nDuring the 1990 season, Reilly helped out the club as a caretaker coach.\n" "References" "\n" "External links" "The Encyclopedia Of Rugby League Players; Alan Whiticker & Glen Hudson\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n"
"Beatmania IIDX 18 Resort Anthem" "Introduction" "Splash art depicting a tropical resort theme.\n\n'''''Beatmania IIDX 18 Resort Anthem''''' is a music video game in the ''Beatmania IIDX'' series of games by Konami. On April 19, 2010, ''Bemani'' fansite Zenius -I- Vanisher reported that Konami had announced the first location test for the newest game in the IIDX series. The location test ran from April 22 to April 26 at the Cat Machida (\u30ad\u30e3\u30c3\u30c4\u30a2\u30a4\u753a\u7530) in Machida, Tokyo. Follow up location tests ran in Ch\u014dfu, Tokyo and Kyoto from April 30 to May 6, in Nagoya and Sapporo from May 14 to May 20 and in Chiyoda, Tokyo from June 11 to June 12. The game was released on September 15, 2010. This Beatmania iteration's theme focuses heavily on a futuresque modern relaxation and tropical beach resort concert like setting, with the interface making use of sleek mechanical components with simple whites and bright colors that are easy on the eyes.\n" "Gameplay" "There are some changes made for this series. The song wheel is now circular rather than vertical, similar to the one on Dance Dance Revolution. 2 new modes are presented; Premium Free Mode, a mode where the player plays for 8 minutes as opposed to 2 stages, and DJ Order Mode, a mode which is similar to pop'n music's Challenge Mode, where a player can select missions (similar to pop'n's Normas) and earn DELLAR POINTS. Other that, all of the gameplay remains the same.\n\n===Unlocking System===\nResort Anthem only has one Extra Stage, making it the first to do this since ''Beatmania IIDX 12: Happy Sky''. However, players can get new songs through Beat Unlocks, JAPAN TOUR, WORLD TOUR and other unlocking events.\n\n====Append festival====\nWith the announcement of APPEND FESTIVAL, a new crossover from jubeat series was unlocked on March 11, 2011 and another crossover from jubeat knit APPEND was unlocked on March 23, 2011. This unlocking system needs an e-amusement card.\n\n====Lincle LINK====\nKONAMI announced Lincle LINK event on June 30, 2011. Lincle LINK event will start on the middle of July, linking Resort Anthem and REFLEC BEAT together through song unlocking. Again, this event needs an e-amusement card.\n" "Music" "''Beatmania IIDX 18 Resort Anthem'' feature 74 new songs as well as 567 songs from previous release for a total of 641 songs.

"Belmont Academy" "Introduction" "\n\n\n\n'''Belmont Academy''' () is the largest secondary school in Ayr and the 6th largest in Scotland. The Academy is inter-faith and state-run by South Ayrshire Council. In 2008 the school transferred from the 48-year-old campus into a new building, which was opened to pupils in August 2008.\n" "Rector" "The current rector is Mr Graeme McLean.\n==Former Head Teachers== \n*Mr D McCredie - August 1960 - June 1969 - Retired* \n*Mr A Steele - August 1969 - June 1976 - Left* Died 2007\n*Mr W F Stewart - August 1975 - March 1997 - Retired .\n*Mr A Moir - March 1997 - June 2012 - Retired*\n*Mrs S Beattie - August 2012 - February 2017\n*Miss T Stewart - February 2017 -\n" "History" "\nThe original Belmont Academy was built in 1960. When the school leaving age rose to 15, Ayr Academy no longer had the capacity for all the secondary school children in Ayr and so Belmont was built. Construction of the current campus started on 10 January 2007 and the new building was opened to pupils in August 2008.\n\n===Mainholm decant===\n\nIn mid-2006, Mainholm Academy was closed for repairs and all of the school's pupils were decanted into neighbouring schools - namely the Belmont, Ayr and Kyle Academies. Subsequently, on 24 November 2006 it was revealed by South Ayrshire Council that Mainholm would be closed permanently and the transfer of pupils to new schools became permanent.\n\n===The public-private partnership rebuild===\n\nBelmont Academy, along with Prestwick Academy, has had a new campus built to replace their aged original buildings. South Ayrshire Council made use of the controversial public-private partnership (PPP) plan to finance the project. Construction work was contracted to the British-based company Carillion. Work was originally due to start in the summer of 2006 but was delayed and did not begin until 10 January 2007. The former playing fields beside the school were entirely fenced off during this process. Although work started later than intended the school was completed by the original date in 2008 and opened to pupils on 24 August 2008.\nThe gradual dismantling and demolition of the original buildings began shortly after the new facilities opened, during which time the old campus was completely sealed off from the new. The demolition and clearing was finished by February 2009.\n" "2013" "\nEarly in the year, and after many years serving Belmont Academy, headteacher Alan Moir left his post. A temporary headteacher Allan Rattray of Girvan Academy occupied the role for several weeks before the current rector, Susan Beattie, a keen gardener, was able to take up her post.\n" "Houses" "The school has 5 houses into which the pupils of the school are assigned. Originally named after islands in the Firth of Clyde, the houses were Arran, Craig, Cumbrae and Bute. As the school roll varied, first Kintyre was added to make 5 houses, then Bute was dropped as the school roll fell, however it was reinstated together with Lomond as the school roll was subsequently increased again with the partial assimilation of Mainholm Academy. In 2010 Craig house was dropped and the pupils split between the remaining 5 houses.\n" "Feeder Primary Schools" "\nThe current primary schools feeding into Belmont are: Alloway Primary School, Kincaidston Primary School, Holmston Primary School, Tarbolton Primary School, Dalmilling Primary School, Doonfoot Primary School and Braehead Primary School.\n" "Notable former pupils" "\n\nNotable former pupils include:\n\n* Mike Scott from The Waterboys\n* Stuart Murdoch from Belle and Sebastian\n* Arnie Burgoyne from Echo and the Bunnymen\n*Noam Dar - WWE wrestler\n" "External links" "* Belmont Academy's page on Scottish Schools Online\n* Belmont Academy\n* About Ayr\n* South Ayrshire Council\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n"
"Bessie Love" "Introduction" "\n\n'''Bessie Love''', born '''Juanita Horton''' (September 10, 1898 \u2013 April 26, 1986), was an American motion picture actress who achieved prominence mainly in the silent films and early talkies. With a small frame and delicate features, she played innocent young girls, flappers, and wholesome leading ladies. Her performance in ''The Broadway Melody'' (1929) earned her a nomination for the Academy Award for Best Actress.\n" "Early life" "Bessie Love was born '''Juanita Horton''' in Midland, Texas. She attended school in Midland until she was in the eighth grade, when her chiropractor father moved his family to Arizona, New Mexico, and then to Hollywood.\n" "Career" "\n===The silent era===\nBessie Love and Douglas Fairbanks in ''The Good Bad Man'' (1916), here listed under the title, ''Coyote o' The Rio Grande.'' \nOn actor Tom Mix's recommendation that she \"get into pictures\", Love's mother sent her to Biograph Studios, where she met pioneering film director D.W. Griffith. Griffith, who introduced Bessie Love to films, also gave the actress her screen name. He gave her a small role in his film ''Intolerance'' (1916). Love dropped out of Los Angeles High School to pursue her film career, although she completed her degree many years later.\n\nHer \"first role of importance\" was in ''The Flying Torpedo''; she later appeared opposite William S. Hart in ''The Aryan'' and with Douglas Fairbanks in ''The Good Bad Man'', ''Reggie Mixes In'', and ''The Mystery of the Leaping Fish'' (all 1916). In her early career, she was often compared to Mary Pickford, even called \"Our Mary\" by D.W. Griffith.\n\nAdvertisement, 1918\n''The Wishing Ring Man'' (1919)\nLove took an active role in the management of her career, upgrading her representation to Gerald C. Duffy, the former editor of ''Picture-Play Magazine'', and publicizing herself by playing the ukulele and dancing for members of the military. Even glowing reviews of her films criticized the venues in which they were shown, citing this as a reason she was not a more awarded actress.\n\nIn 1922, Love was selected one of the WAMPAS Baby Stars. In 1923, she starred in ''Human Wreckage'' with Dorothy Davenport and produced by Thomas Ince.\n\nAs her roles got larger, so did her popularity. Because of her performance in ''The King on Main Street'' (1925), Love is credited with being the first person to dance the Charleston on film, popularizing it in the United States. Her technique was documented in instructional guides, including a series of photographs by Edward Steichen. She subsequently performed the dance the following year in ''The Song and Dance Man''.\n\nShe starred in ''The Lost World'', a science fiction adventure based on the novel of the same name by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle. Three years later she starred in ''The Matinee Idol'', a romantic comedy directed by a young Frank Capra.\n\n===The sound era and stage work===\nLove successfully transitioned to talkies, and in 1929 she was nominated for the Academy Award for Best Actress for ''The Broadway Melody''. She appeared in several other early musicals, including ''The Hollywood Revue of 1929'' (1929), ''Chasing Rainbows'' (1930), ''Good News'' (1930), and ''They Learned About Women'' (1930).\n\nHowever, by 1932, her American film career was in decline. She moved to England in 1935 and did stage work and occasional films there. Love briefly returned to the United States in 1936 to seek a divorce.\n\nDuring World War II in Britain, when Love found acting work hard to come by, she was the \"continuity girl\" on the film drama ''San Demetrio London'' (1943), an account of a ship badly damaged in the Atlantic but whose crew managed to bring her to port. She also worked for the American Red Cross.\n\nAfter the war, she resumed work on the stage and played small roles in films\u2014often as an American tourist. Stage work included such productions as ''Love in Idleness'' (1944) and ''Born Yesterday'' (1947). She wrote and performed in ''The Homecoming'', a semiautobiographical play, which had its opening in Perth, Scotland in 1958. Film work included ''The Barefoot Contessa'' (1954) with Humphrey Bogart, Ealing Studios' ''Nowhere to Go'' (1958), and ''The Greengage Summer'' (1961) starring Kenneth More. She also played small roles in the James Bond thriller ''On Her Majesty's Secret Service'' (1969) and in ''Sunday Bloody Sunday'' (1971). In addition to playing the mother of Vanessa Redgrave's titular character in ''Isadora'' (1968), Love also served as dialect coach to the actress.\n\nIn October 1963, Love was the subject of ''This Is Your Life'', when she was surprised by Eamonn Andrews in central London.\n\nLove appeared in John Osborne's play ''West of Suez'', and as \"Aunt Pittypat\" in a large-scale musical version of ''Gone With the Wind'' (1972). She also played Maud Cunard in the TV mini-series ''Edward & Mrs. Simpson'' in 1978. Her film work continued in the 1980s with roles in ''Ragtime'' (1981), ''Reds'' (1981), ''Lady Chatterley's Lover'' (1981), and\u2014her final film\u2014''The Hunger'' (1983).\n" "Personal life" "Love married agent William Hawks (January 29, 1901 Neenah, Wisconsin \u2013 January 10, 1969 Santa Monica, California) at St. James Episcopal Church in Pasadena, California on December 27, 1929. Mary Astor (William's sister-in-law), Carmel Myers, and Norma Shearer were among her bridesmaids; William's brother Howard Hawks and Irving Thalberg ushered. They then lived at the Havenhurst Apartments in Hollywood. They had a daughter, Patricia Hawks (February 19, 1932, Los Angeles, California), who had some bit parts in movies in 1952. They divorced in 1936.\n\nLove was a Christian Scientist. She died in London, England from natural causes on April 26, 1986.\n" "Legacy" "Star on Hollywood Walk of Fame at 6777 Hollywood Blvd.\nLove was periodically interviewed by film historians, and wrote a series of articles about her experiences for ''The Christian Science Monitor''. In 1977, Love published an autobiography based on these articles, entitled, ''From Hollywood with Love''.\n\nShe was interviewed in the television documentary series ''Hollywood: A Celebration of the

"Beswick Pottery" "Introduction" "\n'''John Beswick Ltd''', formerly '''J. W. Beswick''' was a pottery manufacturer, founded in 1892 by James Wright Beswick and his sons John and Gilbert in Longton, Stoke-on-Trent. In 1969, the business was sold to Doulton & Co. Ltd. The factory closed in 2002 and the brand John Beswick was sold in 2004. The pottery was chiefly known for producing high-quality porcelain figurines such as farm animals and Beatrix Potter characters and have become highly sought after in the collectables market.\n" "History" "Based at the Gold Street works in Longton, they originally produced tablewares and ornaments such as Staffordshire cats and dogs. James Wright Beswick died in 1921, but the company continued to expand under his grandson, John Ewart Beswick. In 1934 the introduction of high fired bone china meant they could produce high-quality figurines, such as famous race horses and champion dogs. The company was made a limited company, John Beswick Ltd, in 1936.The Snowman and James figurines manufactured by John Beswick Ltd under the Royal Doulton trademark based on characters from the book The Snowman by Raymond Briggs.\n\nIn 1939 Arthur Gredington was appointed chief modeller and they began producing farm animal figurines. Arthur Gredington\u2019s range of 190 Rearing Horsemen is one of the largest (and most popular amongst collectors) ever produced by the company. Under decorating manager Jim Hayward, there was a shift towards lifelike animal pieces, including cats, dogs, farm animals, fish and wild animals. Continued expansion enabled the acquisition of the adjoining factory in 1945 to accommodate offices, warehousing and new potting and firing facilities.\n\nIn 1947, Lucy Beswick suggested bringing to life the illustrations in the Beatrix Potter books. In 1948, John Beswick secured the right to reproduce a range of 10 Beatrix Potter earthenware characters, the first of which was Jemima Puddle-Duck, modelled by Arthur Gredington. In 1952, Beswick began manufacturing a range of Disney characters, including Snow White, Mickey Mouse and Bambi. Along with the designs of James Hayward, the high-quality pieces they produced have become highly sought-after.\n\nIn 1969 Beswick was sold to Doulton & Co. Ltd (Royal Doulton), and although animal figures continued to be produced, by 1989, the Beswick backstamp was dropped in favour of the Royal Doulton Royal Albert DA backstamp.\n\nThe popularity of the Beatrix Potter characters was a factor in re-introducing the range in 1998, specifically for the collectors market. By the end of 2002, Royal Doulton ceased production of all Beswick products and in 2003 the Gold Street works were sold off to property developers. \n\nIn 2004 the Beswick name and product design rights were sold off, the John Beswick name is now owned by Dartington Crystal, which continue to produce animal figurines using some original production molds from the Gold Street works, they also produce vases under the John Beswick name. The Snowman and The Gruffalo figures are just some of the nursery figures still being produced.\n" "See also" "* Royal Doulton\n* List of Bunnykins figurines\n" "Citations" "\n" "References" "\n* Callows, Diana.

"Betty Nuthall" "Introduction" "\n\n\n'''Betty May Nuthall Shoemaker''' (''n\u00e9e'' Nuthall; 23 May 1911 \u2013 8 November 1983) was an English tennis player. Known for her powerful forehand, according to Wallis Myers of The Daily Telegraph and the Daily Mail, Nuthall was ranked in the world top ten in 1927, 1929 through 1931, and 1933, reaching a career high in those rankings of World No. 4 in 1929. She won the mixed doubles championships at the French Open in 1931 with Pat Spence.\n" "Career" "Betty Nuthall in 1932\nNuthall's father taught her tennis. She won the junior championships of Great Britain in 1924 (aged 13), 1925 and 1926.\n\nIn 1927 at the age of 16, Nuthall tied Elisabeth Moore as the then-youngest women's singles finalist ever at the U.S. Championships. Nuthall lost the final to Helen Wills in straight sets while serving under-handed.\n\nAlso in 1927, Nuthall played on the British Wightman Cup team and defeated Helen Jacobs in her debut. In her mixed doubles matches, the final of the Nottingham Championships, she won with her partner Pat Spence.She also represented Great Britain in the 1929 and 1931\u201334 Wightman Cup competitions.\n\nIn 1930, Nuthall became the first non-American since 1892 to win a women's singles title at the U.S. Championships, defeating Anna McCune Harper in straight sets. She was the last British female player to win the title until Virginia Wade won in 1968. In 1931 she reached the singles final of the French Championships but lost in two sets to first-seeded Cilly Aussem. Also in 1930 she triumphed in the mixed contest with her recurring partner Spence. Nuthall and he went for the British Hard Court Championships in April and were only eliminated in the final, while in May they won the mixed title at the French Championships (now the French Open).\n\nAt the U.S. Championships in 1933, Nuthall won a quarterfinal versus Alice Marble 6\u20138, 6\u20130, 7\u20135 after being down two breaks of serve at 1\u20135 in the final set. In the semifinal versus Moody, Nuthall won the first set 6\u20132 in just 12 minutes, which was the first set Wills had lost at this tournament since 1926. Moody, however, turned around the match and won the last two sets 6\u20133, 6\u20132 despite losing her serve twice in the second set. Nuthall never again reached the quarterfinals of a Grand Slam singles tournament.\n\nNuthall won women's doubles titles at the 1930, 1931, and 1933 U.S. Championships and at the 1931 French Championships. She won mixed doubles championships at the 1929 and 1931 U.S. Championships and at the 1931 and 1932 French Championships.\n\nNuthall was inducted into the International Tennis Hall of Fame in 1977.\n" "Personal life" "She formed a real-life couple with her doubles partner Pat Spence, with whom she went on to win the French Open mixed doubles tournament in 1931. In 1954 she married Franklin Shoemaker, who died in 1982. On 8 November 1983 Nuthall died in New York of a coronary arrest.\n" "Grand Slam finals" "\n===Singles: 3 (1 title, 2 runners-up)===\n\n\n'''Outcome'''\n'''Year\n'''Championship\n'''Surface\n'''Opponents\n'''Score\n\nRunner-up \n 1927 \n U.S. Championships \n Grass \n Helen Wills \n 1\u20136, 4\u20136\n\nWinner \n 1930 \n U.S. Championships \n Grass \n Anna McCune Harper \n 6\u20131, 6\u20134\n\nRunner-up \n 1931 \n French Championships \n Clay \n Cilly Aussem \n 6\u20138, 1\u20136\n\n\n===Doubles (4 titles, 2 runners-up)===\n\n\n'''Outcome'''\n'''Year\n'''Championship\n'''Surface\n'''Partner\n'''Opponents\n'''Score\n\nRunner-up \n 1927 \n U.S. National Championships \n Grass \n Joan Fry \n Kitty McKane Ermyntrude Harvey \n 1\u20136, 6\u20134, 3\u20136\n\nWinner \n 1930 \n U.S. National Championships \n Grass \n Sarah Palfrey \n Edith Cross Anna McCune Harper \n 3\u20136, 6\u20133, 7\u20135\n\nWinner \n 1931 \n French Championships \n Clay \n Eileen Bennett Whittingstall \n Cilly Aussem Elizabeth Ryan \n 9\u20137, 6\u20132\n\nWinner \n 1931 \n U.S. National Championships \n Grass \n Eileen Bennett Whittingstall \n Helen Jacobs Dorothy Round \n 6\u20132, 6\u20134\n\nRunner-up \n 1932 \n French Championships \n Clay \n Eileen Bennett Whittingstall \n Elizabeth Ryan Helen Wills \n 1\u20136, 3\u20136\n\nWinner \n 1933 \n U.S. National Championships \n Grass \n Freda James \n Elizabeth Ryan Helen Wills \n default\n\n\n===Mixed doubles (4 titles, 1 runner-up)===\n\n\n'''Outcome'''\n'''Year\n'''Championship\n'''Surface\n'''Partner\n'''Opponents\n'''Score\n\nWinner\n 1929 \n U.S. National Championships \n Grass \n George Lott \n Phyllis Covell Bunny Austin \n 6\u20133, 6\u20133\n\nWinner \n 1931 \n French Championships \n Clay \n Patrick Spence \n Dorothy Shepherd Bunny Austin \n 6\u20133, 5\u20137, 6\u20133\n\nWinner \n 1931 \n U.S. National Championships \n Grass \n George Lott \n Anna McCune Harper Wilmer Allison \n 6\u20133, 6\u20133\n\nWinner \n 1932 \n French Championships \n Clay \n Fred Perry \n Helen Wills Sidney Wood \n 6\u20134, 6\u20132\n\nRunner-up \n 1933 \n French Championships \n Grass \n Fred Perry \n Margaret Scriven Jack Crawford \n 2\u20136, 3\u20136\n\n" "Grand Slam singles tournament timeline" "\n\n\n\n Tournament !! 1926 !! 1927 !! 1928 !! 1929 !! 1930 !! 1931 !! 1932 !! 1933 !! 1934 !! 1935 !!1936 !!1937 !!1938 !!1939 !!1940 !! 1941 \u2013 1944 !! 1945 !! 19461 !!

"Beverley Kelso" "Introduction" "\n\n\n'''Beverley Kelso''' (born April 1948) is a Jamaican singer best known as an early member of The Wailers.\n\nBorn in Kingston, Jamaica, she attended Miss Nembhard Preparatory School and Denham Town Primary School in Kingston.\n\nShe was a backing vocalist, and one of the founding members of The Wailers (between 1963 and 1965). According to Kelso, she sang on 25 tracks by the group, the last in late 1965.\n\nKelso emigrated to the United States in 1979.\n\nThe death of Junior Braithwaite in 1999 and the death of Cherry Smith in 2008 left Kelso and Bunny Wailer as the only surviving founding members of the Wailers.\n\nIn 2012 she stated that she was planning to write a book about her time in The Wailers. She now lives in Brooklyn, New York.\n" "References" "\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n"
"Bome (sculptor)" "Introduction" " is the pseudonym of a Japanese sculptor, primarily sculpting anime-styled women for mass commercial release. The name is a contraction of and , both of which he wears regularly. He started making garage kits and now works for Kaiyodo, a Japanese company that specialises in anime-related figurines. Bome's work has proved sufficiently popular and successful for Kaiyodo to release a ''Monsieur Bome Collection'', including figures from such popular anime and video games as GunBuster, Full Metal Panic, Dead or Alive, Kiddy Grade, Xenosaga and Jingai Maky\u014d. Bome has, amongst others, also sculpted characters from Neon Genesis Evangelion and Sailor Moon.\n\nBome's work, like some of the anime on which it is based, often combines cute facial features with exaggerated sexual attributes such as large, gravity-defying breasts. Many figures are scantily clad or posed so that undergarments are visible. Occasionally, they may possess removable clothing which will expose knickers or bras. At least one figurine (Jungle Emi) was allegedly bare-breasted in its Japanese release; it was supposed to include a removable halter top bra in its worldwide release, however many disappointed fans found that the halter top is actually not removable. His latest (and possibly final) model in the Mon-Soeur BOME series, Akira from Sukapon-Do, is a rework of a model he previously did - with her breasts covered back up. See the \"Erotica\" section of the website listed in this page's References for the original model.\n\nCollectors and toy-buyers regard Bome's work as being of good quality due to its accurate paintwork, of fine detail, accurate representation of the character, naturalistic poses and high manufacturing standards.

"Boroughbridge (UK Parliament constituency)" "Introduction" "\n\n'''Boroughbridge''' was a parliamentary borough in Yorkshire from 1553 until 1832, when it was abolished under the Great Reform Act. Throughout its existence it was represented by two Members of Parliament in the House of Commons.\n\nThe constituency consisted of the market town of Boroughbridge in the parish of Aldborough (which was also a borough with two MPs of its own). By 1831 it contained only 154 houses, and had a population of 947.\n\nBoroughbridge was a burgage borough, meaning that the right to vote was vested in the tenants of certain specified properties, of which there seem to have been about 65 by the time the borough was abolished. Since these properties could be freely bought and sold, the effective power of election rested with whoever owned the majority of the burgages (who, if necessary, could simply assign the tenancies to reliable placemen shortly before an election). For more than a century before the Reform Act, Boroughbridge was owned by the Dukes of Newcastle, who controlled around fifteen seats across the country; however, in the 1790s, they sold one of the seats for \u00a34,000 to the banker Thomas Coutts, who used it to put his son-in-law, Francis Burdett, into Parliament.\n" "Members of Parliament" "\n*''Constituency created'' (1553)\n\n===1553-1640===\n\n\n\nParliament!!First member!!Second member\n\n 1553 (Oct)\n William Tancred\n Christopher Wray \n\n 1554 (Apr)\n Ralph Cholmley\n Christopher Wray \n\n 1554 (Nov)\n Christopher Wray\n John Holmes \n\n 1555\nChristopher Wray\n Robert Kempe \n\n 1558\nWilliam Fairfax\n Christopher Wray \n\n 1558/9\n Sir John York\n Richard Bunny \n\n 1562/3\n John Astley\n Thomas Disney \n\n 1571\nCotton Gargrave\n Thomas Boynton \n\n 1572 (Apr)\n Thomas Eynns (died 1578)\n Cotton Gargrave \n\n 1584 (Oct)\n Henry Cheke\n Nicholas Faunt \n\n 1586 (Sep)\n George Savile\n Robert Briggs \n\n 1588/9\n Sir Edward Fitton\n Francis Moore \n\n 1593\nJohn Brograve\n Vincent Skinner\n\n 1597 (Sep)\n Henry Fanshawe \n Thomas Crompton \n\n 1601\nRichard Whalley\n Thomas Fairfax \n\n 1604\n John Ferne\n Sir Henry Jenkins \n\n 1609\n Sir Thomas Vavasour\n Sir Henry Jenkins \n\n 1614\n Sir Ferdinando Fairfax \n George Marshall\n\n 1621\n Sir Ferdinando Fairfax\n George Wethered\n\n 1624\n Sir Ferdinando Fairfax\n Christopher Mainwaring\n\n 1625\n Sir Ferdinando Fairfax\n William Mainwaring\n\n 1626\n Sir Ferdinando Fairfax\n Philip Mainwaring\n\n 1628\n Sir Ferdinando Fairfax\n Francis Neville\n\n 1629\u20131640\n ''No Parliaments summoned''\n\n\n===1640-1832===\n\n\nYear!!First member!!First party!!Second member!!Second party\n\n \n\nApril 1640\n Ferdinando, Lord Fairfax \n \n \n\n\n \n\nNovember 1640\n Sir Philip Stapylton ''(d.

"British Giant rabbit" "Introduction" "The British Giant is a larger rabbit that has its heritage in the Flemish Giant, a breed that originates in Belgium. The British Giant can grow up to 7\u00a0kg and often rivals a small dog in size.\n" "History" "The British Giant arose as a separate breed in the United Kingdom in the 1940s and was bred from Flemish Giant stock of varying colours from the United States. The Flemish Giant breed standard in Britain is only recognised in steel grey colouring and may be somewhat smaller than the European Flemish Giant. Thus the British Giant was bred for a greater variety in colouring and although smaller than continental Flemish rabbits, retain broadly the same characteristics. The British Giant is virtually unknown outside the United Kingdom.\n" "Appearance" "The biggest of all the British breeds, the British Giant has a large, powerful body that\u2019s flat across the back and has a wide front and hindquarters. Its fur is medium length, dense and soft and comes in a variety of colours including white, sable, opal, grey, blue and black. It will need regular grooming to keep its fur in tip-top condition and prevent it from becoming matted.\n" "See also" "\n*List of rabbit breeds\n" "References" "\n\n\n"
"Bugs Bunny in Double Trouble" "Introduction" "\n\n'''''Bugs Bunny in Double Trouble''''' is a video game developed by Atod AB for the Genesis and Game Gear, released in 1996. The game stars Bugs Bunny and features pre-rendered 3D graphics (similar to ''Donkey Kong Country'' for the Super NES).\n" "Gameplay" "Similarly to 1994's ''Mickey Mania: The Timeless Adventures of Mickey Mouse'', the levels are mainly based on individual Bugs Bunny cartoons from Warner Bros.' Looney Tunes and Merrie Melodies series, stringing them together by having Bugs trapped in a \"Televisor\" created by Yosemite Sam as a mad scientist. Seven of the levels are based on the Bugs Bunny cartoons ''Duck! Rabbit, Duck!'', ''Bully for Bugs'', ''Knighty Knight Bugs'', ''Hare-Abian Nights'', ''Spaced Out Bunny'', ''Mad as a Mars Hare'', and ''Hare-Way to the Stars'', while the other level, entitled ''Haunted Hare'', is based on elements of ''Bewitched Bunny'' and ''Hair-Raising Hare''.\n\nEach level features objectives, designs, and opposing characters based on the source cartoon(s), though some levels include plot elements, weapons, and obstacles that weren't present in the original cartoons. For example, the ''Hare-Abian Nights'' level features a duel with Yosemite Sam over a genie's lamp, and ''Spaced Out Bunny'' is essentially a race against Marvin the Martian to Mars. As well, the ''Duck! Rabbit, Duck!'' level does not have the snow present in the original cartoon.\n" "Reception" "\n\nThe Genesis version received mediocre reviews. Critics widely praised the bright, colorful graphics and usage of old Warner Bros. cartoons and characters, though some criticized that the controls make navigating certain areas frustrating. However, reviews generally concluded that while the game is competent in most respects, it lacks any major innovation to draw the interest of anyone but hardcore Warner Bros. fans.\n" "References" "\n" "External links" "*\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n"
"Bugs Bunny Nips the Nips" "Introduction" "\n\n'''''Bugs Bunny Nips the Nips''''' is a ''Merrie Melodies'' animated cartoon directed by Friz Freleng, produced by Leon Schlesinger Productions, and released to theaters on April 22, 1944 by Warner Bros. and The Vitaphone Corporation.\n\nThe cartoon was made during World War II, and reflects the United States' attitude towards one of its main enemies at the time, the Empire of Japan. In the cartoon, Bugs Bunny lands on an island in the Pacific and is pitted against a group of highly racially stereotyped Japanese soldiers. Bugs shows no mercy against the Japanese soldiers, greeting them with several racial slurs such as \"monkey face\" and \"slant eyes\", making short work of a large sumo wrestler, and bombing most of the Japanese army using various explosives, including grenades hidden in ice cream bars. The cartoon's title is a play on the verb \"nip\" as in \"bite\" and \"Nips\", which at the time was a widely used slur for Japanese people, as the Japanese word for \"Japan\" is \"Nippon\" (or \"Nihon\").\n\nThe ''Film Daily'' called the seven-minute short \"good fun\", and gave the following synopsis:\n\n\"Bugs Bunny, castaway on a Pacific isle, thinks the setting is ideal until he finds his paradise infested with Japanese soldiers. How he single-handedly exterminates the enemy makes for a laugh-filled few minutes of typical Bugs antics, off-screen remarks and action in this Technicolor cartoon produced by Leon Schlesinger.\"\n\n" "Plot" "Somewhere in the Pacific, Bugs is floating in a box, singing to himself, when 'the island that inevitably turns up in this kind of picture' turns up. Bugs swims towards it, and admires the peace and quiet, when bombs start going off (The Storm from the William Tell Overture is also heard in the Background). Bugs ducks into a haystack, and soon comes face to face with a Japanese soldier; a short, bucked tooth, bare-footed Japanese man who says his 'Ls' as 'Rs' and who might be rapidly stating the names of Japanese cities whenever he moves. The soldier chases Bugs to a rabbit hole, where the soldier dumps a bomb inside. However, Bugs manages to blow the soldier up with the bomb. When the soldier tries to swing a sword at Bugs, Bugs appears as a Japanese general (presumably Hideki Tojo), but is soon recognized by his trademark carrot eating, prompting the soldier (who says he saw Bugs in the \"Warner Bros. Leon Schlesinger ''Merrie Melodies'' cartoon pictures\", referring to the fact that Bugs was originally exclusive to that series) to ask him \"What's up, Honorable Doc?\"\n\nBugs then jumps into a plane and the soldier also jumps into a plane. However, Bugs ties the soldier's plane to a tree, causing the plane to be yanked out from under him. The soldier parachutes down, but is met by Bugs in mid-air, who hands \"Moto\" (cf. Mr. Moto) some 'scrap iron' (an anvil), causing the soldier to fall. Painting a Japanese flag on a tree to denote one soldier down, Bugs runs into a sumo wrestler, whom he confidently faces off against (cockily marking a second bigger flag on the tree). After getting temporarily beaten by the sumo wrestler (and, to be fair, wipes the second mark off the tree before collapsing), Bugs dresses as a geisha girl and knocks the wrestler out, who repaints a second flag on the tree before passing out.\n\nSeeing a bunch of Japanese landing craft making their way to the island (exclaiming \"Japs! Hundred of 'em!\"), Bugs thinks of a plan to get rid of all of them. He comes out in a 'Good Rumor' (a parody of Good Humor) truck, which plays Mozart (\"Der Vogelf\u00e4nger bin ich ja\" from ''The Magic Flute''). Bugs hands each of the Japanese an ice cream with a grenade inside it. All the Japanese are killed off from the explosions, save for one who was killed after redeeming a 'free' ice cream from Bugs. Having now painted dozens of Japanese flags on the trees denoting all the downed enemy, Bugs comments again about the 'peace and quiet - and if there's one thing I CAN'T stand, it's peace and quiet!'.\n\nBugs spots an American battleship in the distance and raises a white flag, yelling for them to come get him, but they keep going. Bugs is insulted, \"Do they think I want to spend the rest of my life on this island?\" With this remark, a female rabbit (dressed in a more Hawaiian outfit) appears saying, \"It's a possibility!\" Bugs then pulls down the distress flag, lets out a wolf cry, and goes running after her.\n" "Analysis" "The films depicting the Japanese enemy during World War II tended to both identify a formidable wartime adversary and to depict said adversary as inferior to its American counterparts. In cartoons, this translated to a tendency to depict the Japanese as either superman or buffoon. This film closer represents the latter tendency. The caricature portrayal of this film serves as a host to well-worn stereotypes.\n\nThe film opens with Bugs singing from within a crate. He is somewhere in the Pacific and is waiting for the inevitable island to turn up. He then sees an island and swims towards its beach. Already in the introduction, Bugs identifies his Pacific island setting as a \"garden of Eden and a \"Shangri-La\". This in reference to the exotic havens depicted in South Sea island films and to the epic film ''Lost Horizon'' (1937). Only then is Bugs alerted to the mortal danger that awaits him on the island. The seductive first impression serves to set up a hazardous trap.\n\nBugs escapes rapid gunfire by running for cover into a haystack. The initial encounter of Bugs with a Japanese soldier presents an optical illusion, that the two share a body. Bugs' head peeks above the haystack, while the legs of the soldier appear below it. Then the owner of the feet confronts Bugs. The soldier has buck teeth, a thin mustache, dark eyeglasses, slanted eyebrows and curly, wavy hair.\n\nThe soldier pulls out a sword and starts swiping at Bugs. He speaks in Oriental-sounding gibberish, consisting of short syllables spoken in a staccato voice. In response, Bugs assumes the form of a Japanese general and stands stiffly at attention. Bugs' face is briefly transformed into a Japanese caricature, only to be contrasted with the face of an actual, if impish, Japanese soldier. Bugs disguised as a general imitates photographs of Hideki Tojo. The soldier bows in supplication to the authority figure. Bugs accidentally gives away his identity by casually chewing on a carrot.\n\nThe soldier resumes use of his sword and talks gibberish again. Bugs takes off in a Japanese plane, followed by the soldier in his own plane. Both planes are presumably based on the Mitsubishi A6M Zero. Bugs ties the rival plane to a tree. The soldier parachutes out and Bugs hands him an anvil. Mocking: \"Here's some scrap iron for Japan, Moto.\" There is a spoken reference to Mr. Moto to provide a well-acquainted name to the wartime enemy.\n\nBugs then bumps into a sumo wrestler. The man is huge with a large stomach, a mustache, a goatee, buck teeth with a large gap between the front teeth, and a Mohawk hairstyle. In response, Bugs transforms into a geisha. He speaks in Japanese-sounding gibberish and coaxes the wrestler into a near kiss. The kiss turns into a fatal blow with a mallet. Bugs triumphantly shouts \"timber\" as the man falls. The masquerade scene involving the wrestler and the geisha makes use of two relatively harmless civilian-type characters to cast the enemy in a humorous light. In concept, it suggests that an Oriental guise can be put on and discarded at will.\n\nBugs then sees several Japanese ships floating towards the island. He is next seen disguised as ice cream car vendor in the mold of the Good Humor man. He entices many Japanese soldiers to come get their ice cream. There are many Japanese soldiers besieging Bugs' ice cream truck. Suggesting that their threat relies on their numbers. They are an easily fooled mob, not a group of individuals. They resemble a swarm of bees and they are rendered less as human figures and more like a scourge in need of extermination.\n\nBugs insults his customers by calling them \"monkey face\" and \"slant eyes\". The scene with the ice cream track partially obscures the faces and bodies of the enemy soldiers, but Bugs verbalizes a physical description. The phrases \"bowlegs\", \"monkey face\", \"slant eyes\" both serve as racial epithets and audibly support the visualized stereotypes of the film. They are all elements of the Japanese wartime caricature.\n\nThey get served with chocolate-covered ice cream bars embedded with grenades. The soldiers run off as soon as they get served. Then numerous explosions are heard. One battered soldier returns to present his lucky stick, earning him a free ice cream. He is the last one. Bugs' mission is accomplished. He then signals an American ship to come get him.\n\nBugs hates being confined to a world of \"peace and quiet\". He celebrates the approach of an American ship and his potential rescue, until he meets a sarong-clad female bunny. The female bunny ignites his passion. He howls and thumps his foot, his eyes bulging from their sockets. He leaps into an amorous pursuit and the film ends.\n\nThe short placed an emphasis on physical peculiarities to imply racial inferiority. The preeminent danger is positioned to be treachery and not military might. The Japanese are distinctively othered as physically deformed. The Japanese are characterized as single-minded, subservient to their superiors, and gullible. The gag with the ice cream-seeking soldiers makes use of the American perception of the Japanese as both gullible and greedy. Bugs' stereotypical portrayal of Japanese womanhood renders him a meek and seductive creature, speaking in a falsetto voice.\n\nThe short has similarities to both ''Wackiki Wabbit'' (1943) and Herr Meets Hare (1945). The soundtrack includes ''Trade Winds'' and ''Someone's Rocking My Dreamboat''. There are two musical quotations from ''Die Walk\u00fcre'' (1870) by Richard Wagner. The Japanese soldiers are repeatedly presented on screen to the tune of the ''Kimigayo'' (1870) The ice cream truck scene uses the tune of the opening aria of Papageno, from ''The Magic Flute'' (1791) by Mozart. When Bugs professes his hatred of the peace and quiet, demanding someone to get him out of this place, the tune is the ''Ride of the Valkyries''.\n\nNeil Lerner attempts to decipher Carl Stalling's intentions in quoting Wagner at the end of the battle scenes. He suggests that it is connected to the role of the Valkyries, taking fallen warriors to Valhalla. In this case, the use is ironic as Stalling would not view the deceased Japanese soldiers as fallen heroes who deserve an afterlife paradise.\n\nAs Bugs signals the American ship, the tune is from the scene where Br\u00fcnnhilde announces her pregnancy. Lerner suggests that Stalling was inspired by the name of Siegfried, \"peace through victory\". Stalling could intend the scene to represent the United States reaching such a peace. Alternatively, he might be inspired by the stark isolation of Br\u00fcnnhilde on a rocky mountain - in which case, the reference would have been Bugs being trapped on the island.\n" "Later reaction to stereotyping" "Since the 1960s, ''Bugs Bunny Nips the Nips'' has become very controversial because of its portrayal of the Japanese and the casual violence toward them. However, the cartoon was not one of the \"Censored Eleven\", and was occasionally shown on television in syndicated packages with other pre-August 1948 Warner cartoons that were under the ownership of Associated Artists Productions. It debuted on home video in December 1991 on the first ''Golden Age of Looney Tunes'' laser disc collection. The niche market format did not cause a stir, but when the 5 disc set was later issued in the more accessible VHS format on 10 separate tapes, Japanese groups protested its distribution, and both releases were withdrawn.

Also seen in the paper is the headline ''Experimental Fly escapes, cannot be killed''.\n\nAfter a clip from ''Rabbit of Seville'' of the audience walking in, Bugs Bunny emerges from his dressing room and begins to conduct. In the audience, the fly lands on Papa Bear's head; Baby Bear tries to squash it with his toy wagon, but only succeeds in knocking Papa unconscious. The fly flies up to Bugs, whose conducting is ruined.\n\nPorky Pig starts playing the William Tell Overture before Daffy Duck. Daffy is angered, and a fight ensues. The Lone Ranger and his horse Silver come in when the music is over.\n\nElmer Fudd is up, and Sylvester starts singing. In effect, Elmer decides to throw Sylvester out. Elmer starts to conduct Hungarian Rhapsody No. 2 when Sylvester runs up and down the stairs singing Hungarian Rhapsody. Elmer beats up Sylvester and walks back in, but sees that the audience loved Sylvester's act. Elmer quits, declaring that he has been \"humiwiated fow the wast time.\"\n\nBugs introduces ''The Barber of Seville'' when Porky informs him that Elmer quit. Bugs goes to get him back and tricks him back onto set, performing ''Rabbit of Seville''. Bugs then tells him how they loved it and changes him into his Wagnerian warrior costume. Bugs tells him he'll like the next one because he gets to kill Bugs. They perform ''What's Opera Doc?''.\n\nBugs then takes another shot at conducting, unaware that the fly has driven the audience away. and like the end of \"Baton Bunny\", the fly claps as Bugs shrugs and finally bows.\n" "Trivia" "*Sylvester's Hungarian Rhapsody from ''Back Alley Oproar'' is reused here, with new animation because while Warner/Chappell Music held the rights to the music in the cartoon, Turner Entertainment (through the 1956 a.a.p. sale and various mergers) owned the rights to the footage at the time (Warner would not regain the rights until 1996, despite the studio having the cartoon's original negatives stored in the WB vault).\n*In the audience, you see cameos of Mr. Meek from \"The Wise Quacking Duck\", the two stranded men from \"Wackiki Wabbit\", and Granny and Sam from \"Hare Trimmed\".\n" "External links" "* \n\n\n\n\n\n"
"Bunny boots" "Introduction" "\n\n'''Bunny boots''' is the widely used nickname for the '''Extreme Cold Vapor Barrier Boots''' (Type II) used by the United States armed forces. The linerless bulbous boots retain warmth by sandwiching up to one inch of wool and felt insulation between two layers of rubber and are typically worn with one heavy wool sock. These boots were originally developed at the Navy Clothing and Textile Research Center in Natick, Massachusetts, US, for use during the Korean War.\nExample of Bunny boots.\n\nOriginally designed for the military, such boots have become staple cold weather gear both in civilian work and recreational environments.

These air valves must be opened prior to flying, to ensure that the air pressure differential between the walls of the boot and the outside air does not cause the boots to rupture. A common theory on the origins of the name of bunny boots is that they make wearer's feet look disproportionately large, like Bugs Bunny's. The extreme cold weather boot is actually nicknamed after the snowshoe hare, commonly found near Ft. Greely, Alaska. During the fall the rabbits' fur changes color from brown to white, allowing it to blend in with its winter surroundings. As winter gets closer, more and more rabbits appear with their new white \"boots\". These boots are manufactured by several companies including Bata, Acton and Air Boss.\n\nBoth Mickey Mouse boots and bunny boots have rubber wedges on the front of the toe and the back of the heel.

"Cat" "Introduction" "\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThe '''domestic cat''' () is a small, typically furry, carnivorous mammal. They are often called '''house cats''' when kept as indoor pets or simply '''cats''' when there is no need to distinguish them from other felids and felines. Cats are often valued by humans for companionship and for their ability to hunt vermin. There are more than 70 cat breeds, though different associations proclaim different numbers according to their standards.\n\nCats are similar in anatomy to the other felids, with a strong flexible body, quick reflexes, sharp retractable claws, and teeth adapted to killing small prey. Cat senses fit a crepuscular and predatory ecological niche. Cats can hear sounds too faint or too high in frequency for human ears, such as those made by mice and other small animals. They can see in near darkness. Like most other mammals, cats have poorer color vision and a better sense of smell than humans. Cats, despite being solitary hunters, are a social species and cat communication includes the use of a variety of vocalizations (mewing, purring, trilling, hissing, growling, and grunting), as well as cat pheromones and types of cat-specific body language.\n\nCats have a high breeding rate. Under controlled breeding, they can be bred and shown as registered pedigree pets, a hobby known as cat fancy. Failure to control the breeding of pet cats by neutering, as well as the abandonment of former household pets, has resulted in large numbers of feral cats worldwide, requiring population control. In certain areas outside cats' native range, this has contributed, along with habitat destruction and other factors, to the extinction of many bird species. Cats have been known to extirpate a bird species within specific regions and may have contributed to the extinction of isolated island populations. Cats are thought to be primarily responsible for the extinction of 33 species of birds, and the presence of feral and free-ranging cats makes some otherwise suitable locations unsuitable for attempted species reintroduction .\n\nSince cats were venerated in ancient Egypt, they were commonly believed to have been domesticated there, but there may have been instances of domestication as early as the Neolithic from around 9,500 years ago (7,500 BC). A genetic study in 2007 concluded that domestic cats are descended from Near Eastern wildcats, having diverged around 8,000 BC in West Asia. A 2016 study found that leopard cats were undergoing domestication independently in China around 5,500 BC, though this line of partially domesticated cats leaves no trace in the domesticated populations of today.\n\nAs of a 2007 study, cats are the second most popular pet in the US by number of pets owned, behind freshwater fish. In a 2010 study they were ranked the third most popular pet in the UK, after fish and dogs, with around 8 million being owned.\n" "Taxonomy and evolution" "\nThe African wildcat, ''Felis silvestris lybica'', is an extant subspecies that is ancestral to the domestic cat.\nThe felids are a rapidly evolving family of mammals that share a common ancestor only 10\u201315\u00a0million years ago and include lions, tigers, cougars and many others. Within this family, domestic cats (''Felis catus'') are part of the genus ''Felis'', which is a group of small cats containing about seven species (depending upon classification scheme). Members of the genus are found worldwide and include the jungle cat (''Felis chaus'') of southeast Asia, European wildcat (''F. silvestris silvestris''), African wildcat (''F. s. lybica''), the Chinese mountain cat (''F. bieti''), and the Arabian sand cat (''F. margarita''), among others.\n\nThe domestic cat was first classified as ''Felis catus'' by Carl Linnaeus in the 10th edition of his ''Systema Naturae'' published in 1758. Because of modern phylogenetics, domestic cats are usually regarded as another subspecies of the wildcat, ''F. silvestris''. This has resulted in mixed usage of the terms, as the domestic cat can be called by its subspecies name, ''Felis silvestris catus''. Wildcats have also been referred to as various subspecies of ''F. catus'', but in 2003, the International Commission on Zoological Nomenclature fixed the name for wildcats as ''F. silvestris''. The most common name in use for the domestic cat remains ''F. catus'', following a convention for domesticated animals of using the earliest (the senior) synonym proposed. Sometimes, the domestic cat has been called ''Felis domesticus'' or ''Felis domestica'', as proposed by German naturalist J. C. P. Erxleben in 1777, but these are not valid taxonomic names and have been used only rarely in scientific literature, because Linnaeus's binomial takes precedence. A population of Transcaucasian black feral cats was once classified as ''Felis daemon'' (Satunin 1904) but now this population is considered to be a part of domestic cat.\n\nAll the cats in this genus share a common ancestor that is believed to have lived around 6\u20137\u00a0million years ago in Asia. The exact relationships within the Felidae are close but still uncertain, e.g. the Chinese mountain cat is sometimes classified (under the name ''Felis silvestris bieti'') as a subspecies of the wildcat, like the North African variety ''F. s. lybica''.\n\nIn comparison to dogs, cats have not undergone major changes during the domestication process, as the form and behavior of the domestic cat is not radically different from those of wildcats and domestic cats are perfectly capable of surviving in the wild. Fully domesticated house cats often interbreed with feral ''F. catus'' populations, producing hybrids such as the Kellas cat. This limited evolution during domestication means that hybridisation can occur with many other felids, notably the Asian leopard cat. Several natural behaviors and characteristics of wildcats may have predisposed them for domestication as pets. These traits include their small size, social nature, obvious body language, love of play and relatively high intelligence. Several small felid species may have an inborn tendency towards tameness.\n\nCats have either a mutualistic or commensal relationship with humans. Two main theories are given about how cats were domesticated. In one, people deliberately tamed cats in a process of artificial selection as they were useful predators of vermin. This has been criticized as implausible, because the reward for such an effort may have been too little; cats generally do not carry out commands and although they do eat rodents, other species such as ferrets or terriers may be better at controlling these pests. The alternative idea is that cats were simply tolerated by people and gradually diverged from their wild relatives through natural selection, as they adapted to hunting the vermin found around humans in towns and villages.\n" "Nomenclature and etymology" "\nThe English word 'cat' (Old English ''catt'') is in origin a loanword, introduced to many languages of Europe from Latin ''cattus'' and Byzantine Greek , including Portuguese and Spanish ''gato'', French ''chat'', German ''Katze'', Lithuanian ''kat\u0117'', and Old Church Slavonic ''kotka'', among others. The ultimate source of the word is Afroasiatic, presumably from Late Egyptian ''\u010daute'', the feminine of ''\u010daus'' \"wildcat\". An alternative word with cognates in many languages is English 'puss' ('pussycat'). Attested only from the 16th century, it may have been introduced from Dutch ''poes'' or from Low German ''puuskatte'', related to Swedish ''kattepus'', or Norwegian ''pus'', ''pusekatt''. Similar forms exist in Lithuanian ''pui\u017e\u0117'' and Irish ''puisc\u00edn''. The etymology of this word is unknown, but it may have simply arisen from a sound used to attract a cat.\n\nA group of cats is referred to as a \"clowder\" or a \"glaring\", a male cat is called a \"tom\" or \"tomcat\" (or a \"gib\", if neutered), an unaltered female is called a \"queen\", and a juvenile cat is referred to as a \"kitten\". The male progenitor of a cat, especially a pedigreed cat, is its \"sire\", and its female progenitor is its \"dam\". In Early Modern English, the word 'kitten' was interchangeable with the now-obsolete word 'catling'.\n\nA pedigreed cat is one whose ancestry is recorded by a cat fancier organization. A purebred cat is one whose ancestry contains only individuals of the same breed. Many pedigreed and especially purebred cats are exhibited as show cats. Cats of unrecorded, mixed ancestry are referred to as domestic short-haired or domestic long-haired cats, by coat type, or commonly as random-bred, moggies (chiefly British), or (using terms borrowed from dog breeding) mongrels or mutt-cats.\n\nWhile the African wildcat is the ancestral subspecies from which domestic cats are descended, and wildcats and domestic cats can completely interbreed (being subspecies of the same species), several intermediate stages occur between domestic pet and pedigree cats on one hand and entirely wild animals on the other. The semiferal cat, a mostly outdoor cat, is not owned by any one individual, but is generally friendly to people and may be fed by several households. Feral cats are associated with human habitation areas and may be fed by people or forage for food, but are typically wary of human interaction.\n" "Biology" "\n===Anatomy===\n\nDiagram of the general anatomy of a male\nDomestic cats are similar in size to the other members of the genus ''Felis'', typically weighing between . Some breeds, such as the Maine Coon, can occasionally exceed . Conversely, very small cats, less than , have been reported. The world record for the largest cat is . The smallest adult cat ever officially recorded weighed around . Feral cats tend to be lighter as they have more limited access to food than house cats. In the Boston area, the average feral adult male will weigh and average feral female . Cats average about in height and in head/body length (males being larger than females), with tails averaging in length.\n\nCats have seven cervical vertebrae, as do almost all mammals; 13 thoracic vertebrae (humans have 12); seven lumbar vertebrae (humans have five); three sacral vertebrae like most mammals (humans have five); and a variable number of caudal vertebrae in the tail (humans retain three to five caudal vertebrae, fused into an internal coccyx). The extra lumbar and thoracic vertebrae account for the cat's spinal mobility and flexibility. Attached to the spine are 13 ribs, the shoulder, and the pelvis. Unlike human arms, cat forelimbs are attached to the shoulder by free-floating clavicle bones which allow them to pass their body through any space into which they can fit their head.\n\nCat skull\nThe cat skull is unusual among mammals in having very large eye sockets and a powerful and specialized jaw. Within the jaw, cats have teeth adapted for killing prey and tearing meat. When it overpowers its prey, a cat delivers a lethal neck bite with its two long canine teeth, inserting them between two of the prey's vertebrae and severing its spinal cord, causing irreversible paralysis and death. Compared to other felines, domestic cats have narrowly spaced canine teeth, which is an adaptation to their preferred prey of small rodents, which have small vertebrae. The premolar and first molar together compose the carnassial pair on each side of the mouth, which efficiently shears meat into small pieces, like a pair of scissors. These are vital in feeding, since cats' small molars cannot chew food effectively, and cats are largely incapable of mastication. Though cats tend to have better teeth than most humans, with decay generally less likely because of a thicker protective layer of enamel, a less damaging saliva, less retention of food particles between teeth, and a diet mostly devoid of sugar, they are nonetheless subject to occasional tooth loss and infection.\n\nCats, like dogs, are digitigrades. They walk directly on their toes, with the bones of their feet making up the lower part of the visible leg. Cats are capable of walking very precisely because, like all felines, they directly register; that is, they place each hind paw (almost) directly in the print of the corresponding fore paw, minimizing noise and visible tracks. This also provides sure footing for their hind paws when they navigate rough terrain. Unlike most mammals, when cats walk, they use a \"pacing\" gait; that is, they move the two legs on one side of the body before the legs on the other side. This trait is shared with camels and giraffes. As a walk speeds up into a trot, a cat's gait changes to be a \"diagonal\" gait, similar to that of most other mammals (and many other land animals, such as lizards): the diagonally opposite hind and fore legs move simultaneously.\n\nLike almost all members of the Felidae, cats have protractable and retractable claws. In their normal, relaxed position, the claws are sheathed with the skin and fur around the paw's toe pads. This keeps the claws sharp by preventing wear from contact with the ground and allows the silent stalking of prey. The claws on the fore feet are typically sharper than those on the hind feet. Cats can voluntarily extend their claws on one or more paws. They may extend their claws in hunting or self-defense, climbing, kneading, or for extra traction on soft surfaces. Most cats have five claws on their front paws, and four on their rear paws. The fifth front claw (the dewclaw) is proximal to the other claws. More proximally is a protrusion which appears to be a sixth \"finger\". This special feature of the front paws, on the inside of the wrists, is the carpal pad, also found on the paws of big cats and dogs. It has no function in normal walking, but is thought to be an antiskidding device used while jumping. Some breeds of cats are prone to polydactyly (extra toes and claws). These are particularly common along the northeast coast of North America.\n\n===Physiology===\nCats are familiar and easily kept animals, and their physiology has been particularly well studied; it generally resembles those of other carnivorous mammals, but displays several unusual features probably attributable to cats' descent from desert-dwelling species. For instance, cats are able to tolerate quite high temperatures: Humans generally start to feel uncomfortable when their skin temperature passes about , but cats show no discomfort until their skin reaches around , and can tolerate temperatures of up to if they have access to water.\n\n\n+ Normal physiological values\n\nBody temperature\n\n\nHeart rate\n120\u2013140 beats per minute\n\nBreathing rate\n16\u201340 breaths per minute\n\nThermograph of various body parts of a cat\nCats conserve heat by reducing the flow of blood to their skin and lose heat by evaporation through their mouths. Cats have minimal ability to sweat, with glands located primarily in their paw pads, and pant for heat relief only at very high temperatures (but may also pant when stressed). A cat's body temperature does not vary throughout the day; this is part of cats' general lack of circadian rhythms and may reflect their tendency to be active both during the day and at night. Cats' feces are comparatively dry and their urine is highly concentrated, both of which are adaptations to allow cats to retain as much water as possible. Their kidneys are so efficient, they can survive on a diet consisting only of meat, with no additional water, and can even rehydrate by drinking seawater. While domestic cats are able to swim, they are generally reluctant to enter water as it quickly leads to exhaustion.\n\nCats are obligate carnivores: their physiology has evolved to efficiently process meat, and they have difficulty digesting plant matter. In contrast to omnivores such as rats, which only require about 4% protein in their diet, about 20% of a cat's diet must be protein. Cats are unusually dependent on a constant supply of the amino acid arginine, and a diet lacking arginine causes marked weight loss and can be rapidly fatal. Another unusual feature is that the cat cannot produce taurine, with taurine deficiency causing macular degeneration, wherein the cat's retina slowly degenerates, causing irreversible blindness.\n\nA cat's gastrointestinal tract is adapted to meat eating, being much shorter than that of omnivores and having low levels of several of the digestive enzymes needed to digest carbohydrates. These traits severely limit the cat's ability to digest and use plant-derived nutrients, as well as certain fatty acids. Despite the cat's meat-oriented physiology, several vegetarian or vegan cat foods have been marketed that are supplemented with chemically synthesized taurine and other nutrients, in attempts to produce a complete diet. However, some of these products still fail to provide all the nutrients cats require, and diets containing no animal products pose the risk of causing severe nutritional deficiencies. However, vets in the United States have expressed concern that many domestic cats are overfed.\n\nCats do eat grass occasionally. A proposed explanation is that cats use grass as a source of folic acid. Another proposed explanation is that it is used to supply dietary fiber.\n\n===Senses===\n\ncat's eye\nReflection of camera flash from the tapetum lucidum\nCats have excellent night vision and can see at only one-sixth the light level required for human vision. This is partly the result of cat eyes having a tapetum lucidum, which reflects any light that passes through the retina back into the eye, thereby increasing the eye's sensitivity to dim light. Another adaptation to dim light is the large pupils of cats' eyes. Unlike some big cats, such as tigers, domestic cats have slit pupils. These slit pupils can focus bright light without chromatic aberration, and are needed since the domestic cat's pupils are much larger, relative to their eyes, than the pupils of the big cats. At low light levels a cat's pupils will expand to cover most of the exposed surface of its eyes. However, domestic cats have rather poor color vision and (like most nonprimate mammals) have only two types of cones, optimized for sensitivity to blue and yellowish green; they have limited ability to distinguish between red and green. A 1993 paper reported a response to middle wavelengths from a system other than the rods which might be due to a third type of cone. However, this appears to be an adaptation to low light levels rather than representing true trichromatic vision.\n\nCats have excellent hearing and can detect an extremely broad range of frequencies. They can hear higher-pitched sounds than either dogs or humans, detecting frequencies from 55\u00a0Hz to 79,000\u00a0Hz, a range of 10.5\u00a0octaves, while humans and dogs both have ranges of about 9\u00a0octaves. Cats can hear ultrasound, which is important in hunting because many species of rodents make ultrasonic calls. However, they do not communicate using ultrasound like rodents do. Cats' hearing is also sensitive and among the best of any mammal, being most acute in the range of 500\u00a0Hz to 32\u00a0kHz. This sensitivity is further enhanced by the cat's large movable outer ears (their pinnae), which both amplify sounds and help detect the direction of a noise.\n\nCats have an acute sense of smell, due in part to their well-developed olfactory bulb and a large surface of olfactory mucosa, about in area, which is about twice that of humans. Cats are sensitive to pheromones such as 3-mercapto-3-methylbutan-1-ol, which they use to communicate through urine spraying and marking with scent glands. Many cats also respond strongly to plants that contain nepetalactone, especially catnip, as they can detect that substance at less than one part per billion. About 70\u201380% of cats are affected by nepetalactone. This response is also produced by other plants, such as silver vine (''Actinidia polygama'') and the herb valerian; it may be caused by the smell of these plants mimicking a pheromone and stimulating cats' social or sexual behaviors.\n\nCats have relatively few taste buds compared to humans (470 or so versus more than 9,000 on the human tongue). Domestic and wild cats share a gene mutation that keeps their sweet taste buds from binding to sugary molecules, leaving them with no ability to taste sweetness. Their taste buds instead respond to amino acids, bitter tastes, and acids. Cats and many other animals have a Jacobson's organ located in their mouths that allows them to taste-smell certain aromas in a way of which humans have no experience. Cats also have a distinct temperature preference for their food, preferring food with a temperature around which is similar to that of a fresh kill and routinely rejecting food presented cold or refrigerated (which would signal to the cat that the \"prey\" item is long dead and therefore possibly toxic or decomposing).\nCats' whiskers are highly sensitive to touch.\nTo aid with navigation and sensation, cats have dozens of movable whiskers (vibrissae) over their body, especially their faces. These provide information on the width of gaps and on the location of objects in the dark, both by touching objects directly and by sensing air currents; they also trigger protective blink reflexes to protect the eyes from damage.\n\nMost breeds of cat have a noted fondness for settling in high places, or perching. In the wild, a higher place may serve as a concealed site from which to hunt; domestic cats may strike prey by pouncing from a perch such as a tree branch, as does a leopard. Another possible explanation is that height gives the cat a better observation point, allowing it to survey its territory. During a fall from a high place, a cat can reflexively twist its body and right itself using its acute sense of balance and flexibility. This is known as the cat righting reflex. An individual cat always rights itself in the same way, provided it has the time to do so, during a fall. The height required for this to occur is around . Cats without a tail (e.g. Manx cats) also have this ability, since a cat mostly moves its hind legs and relies on conservation of angular momentum to set up for landing, and the tail is little used for this feat.\n\n===Health===\n\nThe average lifespan of pet cats has risen in recent years. In the early 1980s, it was about seven years, rising to 9.4 years in 1995 and 12\u201315 years in 2014.\nHowever, cats have been reported as surviving into their 30s, with the oldest known cat, Creme Puff, dying at a verified age of 38.\n\nSpaying or neutering increases life expectancy: one study found neutered male cats live twice as long as intact males, while spayed female cats live 62% longer than intact females. Having a cat neutered confers health benefits, because castrated males cannot develop testicular cancer, spayed females cannot develop uterine or ovarian cancer, and both have a reduced risk of mammary cancer.\n\nDespite widespread concern about the welfare of free-roaming cats, the lifespans of neutered feral cats in managed colonies compare favorably with those of pet cats. Neutered cats in managed colonies can also live long lives.\n\n====Diseases====\nCats can suffer from a wide range of health problems, including infectious diseases, parasites, injuries, and chronic disease. Vaccinations are available for many of these diseases, and domestic cats are regularly given treatments to eliminate parasites such as worms and fleas.\n\n====Poisoning====\nIn addition to obvious dangers such as rodenticides, insecticides, and herbicides, cats may be poisoned by many chemicals usually considered safe by their human guardians, because their livers are less effective at some forms of detoxification than those of many other animals, including humans and dogs. Some of the most common causes of poisoning in cats are antifreeze and rodent baits. Cats may be particularly sensitive to environmental pollutants. When a cat has a sudden or prolonged serious illness without any obvious cause, it has possibly been exposed to a toxin.\n\nMany human medicines should never be given to cats. For example, the painkiller paracetamol (or acetaminophen, sold as Tylenol and Panadol) is extremely toxic to cats: even very small doses need immediate treatment and can be fatal. Even aspirin, which is sometimes used to treat arthritis in cats, is much more toxic to them than to humans and must be administered cautiously. Similarly, application of minoxidil (Rogaine) to the skin of cats, either accidentally or by well-meaning guardians attempting to counter loss of fur, has sometimes been fatal. Essential oils can be toxic to cats and cases have been reported of serious illnesses caused by tea tree oil, including flea treatments and shampoos containing it.\n\nOther common household substances that should be used with caution around cats include mothballs and other naphthalene products. Phenol-based products (e.g. Pine-Sol, Dettol/Lysol or hexachlorophene) are often used for cleaning and disinfecting near cats' feeding areas or litter boxes, but these can sometimes be fatal. Ethylene glycol, often used as an automotive antifreeze, is particularly appealing to cats, and as little as a teaspoonful can be fatal. Some human foods are toxic to cats; for example chocolate can cause theobromine poisoning, although (unlike dogs) few cats will eat chocolate. Large amounts of onions or garlic are also poisonous to cats. Many houseplants are also dangerous, such as ''Philodendron'' species and the leaves of the Easter lily (''Lilium longiflorum''), which can cause permanent and life-threatening kidney damage.\n\n===Genetics===\n\n\n\nThe domesticated cat and its closest wild ancestor are both diploid organisms that possess 38 chromosomes and roughly 20,000 genes. About 250 heritable genetic disorders have been identified in cats, many similar to human inborn errors. The high level of similarity among the metabolism of mammals allows many of these feline diseases to be diagnosed using genetic tests that were originally developed for use in humans, as well as the use of cats as animal models in the study of the human diseases.\n" "Behavior" "\nOutdoor cats are active both day and night, although they tend to be slightly more active at night. The timing of cats' activity is quite flexible and varied, which means house cats may be more active in the morning and evening, as a response to greater human activity at these times. Although they spend the majority of their time in the vicinity of their home, housecats can range many hundreds of meters from this central point, and are known to establish territories that vary considerably in size, in one study ranging from .\n\nCats conserve energy by sleeping more than most animals, especially as they grow older. The daily duration of sleep varies, usually between 12 and 16 hours, with 13 and 14 being the average. Some cats can sleep as much as 20 hours. The term \"cat nap\" for a short rest refers to the cat's tendency to fall asleep (lightly) for a brief period. While asleep, cats experience short periods of rapid eye movement sleep often accompanied by muscle twitches, which suggests they are dreaming.\n\n===Sociability===\nSocial grooming\nAlthough wildcats are solitary, the social behavior of domestic cats is much more variable and ranges from widely dispersed individuals to feral cat colonies that form around a food source, based on groups of co-operating females. Within such groups, one cat is usually dominant over the others. Each cat in a colony holds a distinct territory, with sexually active males having the largest territories, which are about 10 times larger than those of female cats and may overlap with several females' territories. These territories are marked by urine spraying, by rubbing objects at head height with secretions from facial glands, and by defecation. Between these territories are neutral areas where cats watch and greet one another without territorial conflicts. Outside these neutral areas, territory holders usually chase away stranger cats, at first by staring, hissing, and growling, and if that does not work, by short but noisy and violent attacks. Despite some cats cohabiting in colonies, they do not have a social survival strategy, or a pack mentality, and always hunt alone.\n\nCat with an Alaskan Malamute dog\n\nHowever, some pet cats are poorly socialized. In particular, older cats may show aggressiveness towards newly arrived kittens, which may include biting and scratching; this type of behavior is known as feline asocial aggression.\n\nThough cats and dogs are believed to be natural enemies, they can live together if correctly socialized.\n\nLife in proximity to humans and other domestic animals has led to a symbiotic social adaptation in cats, and cats may express great affection toward humans or other animals. Ethologically, the human keeper of a cat may function as a sort of surrogate for the cat's mother, and adult housecats live their lives in a kind of extended kittenhood, a form of behavioral neoteny. The high-pitched sounds housecats make to solicit food may mimic the cries of a hungry human infant, making them particularly hard for humans to ignore.\n\n===Communication===\n\nDomestic cats use many vocalizations for communication, including purring, trilling, hissing, growling/snarling, grunting, and several different forms of meowing. (By contrast, feral cats are generally silent.) Their types of body language, including position of ears and tail, relaxation of the whole body, and kneading of the paws, are all indicators of mood. The tail and ears are particularly important social signal mechanisms in cats; for example, a raised tail acts as a friendly greeting, and flattened ears indicates hostility. Tail-raising also indicates the cat's position in the group's social hierarchy, with dominant individuals raising their tails less often than subordinate animals. Nose-to-nose touching is also a common greeting and may be followed by social grooming, which is solicited by one of the cats raising and tilting its head.\n\nPurring may have developed as an evolutionary advantage as a signalling mechanism of reassurance between mother cats and nursing kittens. Post-nursing cats often purr as a sign of contentment: when being petted, becoming relaxed, or eating. The mechanism by which cats purr is elusive. The cat has no unique anatomical feature that is clearly responsible for the sound. It was, until recent times, believed that only the cats of the ''Felis'' genus could purr. However, felids of the ''Panthera'' genus (tiger, lion, jaguar, and leopard) also produce sounds similar to purring, but only when exhaling.\n\n===Grooming===\npapillae on a cat's tongue act like a hairbrush to help clean and detangle fur.\n\nA tabby housecat uses its brush-like tongue to groom itself, licking its fur to straighten it.\n\nCats are known for spending considerable amounts of time licking their coat to keep it clean. The cat's tongue has backwards-facing spines about 500\u00a0\u03bcm long, which are called papillae. These contain keratin which makes them rigid so the papillae act like a hairbrush. Some cats, particularly longhaired cats, occasionally regurgitate hairballs of fur that have collected in their stomachs from grooming. These clumps of fur are usually sausage-shaped and about long. Hairballs can be prevented with remedies that ease elimination of the hair through the gut, as well as regular grooming of the coat with a comb or stiff brush.\n\n===Fighting===\nAmong domestic cats, males are more likely to fight than females. Among feral cats, the most common reason for cat fighting is competition between two males to mate with a female. In such cases, most fights are won by the heavier male. Another common reason for fighting in domestic cats is the difficulty of establishing territories within a small home. Female cats also fight over territory or to defend their kittens. Neutering will decrease or eliminate this behavior in many cases, suggesting that the behavior is linked to sex hormones.\n\nIndicating aggression\n\nWhen cats become aggressive, they try to make themselves appear larger and more threatening by raising their fur, arching their backs, turning sideways and hissing or spitting. Often, the ears are pointed down and back to avoid damage to the inner ear and potentially listen for any changes behind them while focused forward. They may also vocalize loudly and bare their teeth in an effort to further intimidate their opponent. Fights usually consist of grappling and delivering powerful slaps to the face and body with the forepaws as well as bites. Cats also throw themselves to the ground in a defensive posture to rake their opponent's belly with their powerful hind legs.\n\nSerious damage is rare, as the fights are usually short in duration, with the loser running away with little more than a few scratches to the face and ears. However, fights for mating rights are typically more severe and injuries may include deep puncture wounds and lacerations. Normally, serious injuries from fighting are limited to infections of scratches and bites, though these can occasionally kill cats if untreated. In addition, bites are probably the main route of transmission of feline immunodeficiency virus. Sexually active males are usually involved in many fights during their lives, and often have decidedly battered faces with obvious scars and cuts to their ears and nose.\n\n===Hunting and feeding===\nA cat that is playing with a caught mouse. Cats play with their prey to weaken or exhaust them before making a kill.\nCats hunt small prey, primarily birds and rodents, and are often used as a form of pest control. Domestic cats are a major predator of wildlife in the United States, killing an estimated 1.4\u20133.7 billion birds and 6.9\u201320.7 billion mammals annually. The bulk of predation in the United States is done by 80 million feral and stray cats. Effective measures to reduce this population are elusive, meeting opposition from cat enthusiasts. In the case of free-ranging pets, equipping cats with bells and not letting them out at night will reduce wildlife predation.\n\nFree-fed feral cats and house cats tend to consume many small meals in a single day, although the frequency and size of meals varies between individuals. Cats use two hunting strategies, either stalking prey actively, or waiting in ambush until an animal comes close enough to be captured. Although it is not certain, the strategy used may depend on the prey species in the area, with cats waiting in ambush outside burrows, but tending to actively stalk birds.\n\nPerhaps the best known element of cats' hunting behavior, which is commonly misunderstood and often appalls cat owners because it looks like torture, is that cats often appear to \"play\" with prey by releasing it after capture. This behavior is due to an instinctive imperative to ensure that the prey is weak enough to be killed without endangering the cat. This behavior is referred to in the idiom \"cat-and-mouse game\" or simply \"cat and mouse\".\n\nAnother poorly understood element of cat hunting behavior is the presentation of prey to human guardians. Ethologist Paul Leyhausen proposed that cats adopt humans into their social group and share excess kill with others in the group according to the dominance hierarchy, in which humans are reacted to as if they are at, or near, the top. Anthropologist and zoologist Desmond Morris, in his 1986 book ''Catwatching'', suggests, when cats bring home mice or birds, they are attempting to teach their human to hunt, or trying to help their human as if feeding \"an elderly cat, or an inept kitten\". Morris's hypothesis is inconsistent with the fact that male cats also bring home prey, despite males having no involvement with raising kittens.\n\nDomestic cats select food based on its temperature, smell and texture; they dislike chilled foods and respond most strongly to moist foods rich in amino acids, which are similar to meat. Cats may reject novel flavors (a response termed neophobia) and learn quickly to avoid foods that have tasted unpleasant in the past. They may also avoid sugary foods and milk. Most adult cats are lactose intolerant; the sugars in milk are not easily digested and may cause soft stools or diarrhea. They can also develop odd eating habits. Some cats like to eat or chew on other things, most commonly wool, but also plastic, cables, paper, string, aluminum foil, or even coal. This condition, pica, can threaten their health, depending on the amount and toxicity of the items eaten.\n\nThough cats usually prey on animals less than half their size, a feral cat in Australia has been photographed killing an adult pademelon of around the cat's weight at .\n\nSince cats lack lips to create suction, they use a lapping method with the tongue to draw liquid upwards into their mouths. Lapping at a rate of four times a second, the cat touches the smooth tip of its tongue to the surface of the water, and quickly retracts it, drawing water upwards.\n\n===Play===\n\nPlay fight between kittens, age 14 weeks\nDomestic cats, especially young kittens, are known for their love of play. This behavior mimics hunting and is important in helping kittens learn to stalk, capture, and kill prey. Cats also engage in play fighting, with each other and with humans. This behavior may be a way for cats to practice the skills needed for real combat, and might also reduce any fear they associate with launching attacks on other animals.\n\nOwing to the close similarity between play and hunting, cats prefer to play with objects that resemble prey, such as small furry toys that move rapidly, but rapidly lose interest (they become habituated) in a toy they have played with before. Cats also tend to play with toys more when they are hungry. String is often used as a toy, but if it is eaten, it can become caught at the base of the cat's tongue and then move into the intestines, a medical emergency which can cause serious illness, even death. Owing to the risks posed by cats eating string, it is sometimes replaced with a laser pointer's dot, which cats may chase. There are several important issues related to using a laser with a cat; first most, lasers can cause blindness in cats, even lasers which are sold as \"eye safe\" can actually be of much higher power of that proclaimed and can cause damages to the eyes. In addition, the cat thinks of the laser point as prey, but gets frustrated as he is unable to catch it.\n\n===Reproduction===\n\nWhen cats mate, the tomcat (male) bites the scruff of the female's neck as she assumes a position conducive to mating known as lordosis behavior.\nFemale cats are seasonally polyestrous, which means they may have many periods of heat over the course of a year, the season beginning in spring and ending in late autumn. Heat periods occur about every two weeks and last about 4 to 7 days. Multiple males will be attracted to a female in heat. The males will fight over her, and the victor wins the right to mate. At first, the female rejects the male, but eventually the female allows the male to mate. The female utters a loud yowl as the male pulls out of her because a male cat's penis has a band of about 120\u2013150 backwards-pointing penile spines, which are about 1\u00a0mm long; upon withdrawal of the penis, the spines rake the walls of the female's vagina, which is a trigger for ovulation. This act also occurs to clear the vagina of other sperm in the context of a second (or more) mating, thus giving the later males a larger chance of conception.\n\nAfter mating, the female washes her vulva thoroughly. If a male attempts to mate with her at this point, the female will attack him. After about 20 to 30 minutes, once the female is finished grooming, the cycle will repeat.\n\nBecause ovulation is not always triggered by a single mating, females may not be impregnated by the first male with which they mate. Furthermore, cats are superfecund; that is, a female may mate with more than one male when she is in heat, with the result that different kittens in a litter may have different fathers.\n\nA newborn kitten\n\nAt 124 hours after conception, the morula forms. At 148 hours, early blastocysts form. At 10\u201312 days, implantation occurs.\n\nThe gestation period for cats is between 64 and 67 days, with an average of 66 days. The size of a litter usually is three to five kittens, with the first litter usually smaller than subsequent litters. Kittens are weaned between six and seven weeks old, and cats normally reach sexual maturity at 5\u201310 months (females) and to 5\u20137 months (males), although this can vary depending on breed. Females can have two to three litters per year, so may produce up to 150 kittens in their breeding span of around ten years.\n\nCats are ready to go to new homes at about 12 weeks of age, when they are ready to leave their mother. They can be surgically sterilized (spayed or castrated) as early as 7 weeks to limit unwanted reproduction. This surgery also prevents undesirable sex-related behavior, such as aggression, territory marking (spraying urine) in males and yowling (calling) in females. Traditionally, this surgery was performed at around six to nine months of age, but it is increasingly being performed prior to puberty, at about three to six months. In the US, about 80% of household cats are neutered.\n" "Ecology" "\n===Habitats===\nA cat in snowy weather\nCats are a cosmopolitan species and are found across much of the world. Geneticist Stephen James O'Brien, of the National Cancer Institute in Frederick, Maryland, remarked on how successful cats have been in evolutionary terms: \"Cats are one of evolution's most charismatic creatures. They can live on the highest mountains and in the hottest deserts.\" They are extremely adaptable and are now present on all continents except Antarctica, and on 118 of the 131 main groups of islands\u2014even on isolated islands such as the Kerguelen Islands.\n\nFeral cats can live in forests, grasslands, tundra, coastal areas, agricultural land, scrublands, urban areas, and wetlands. Their habitats even include small oceanic islands with no human inhabitants. Further, the close relatives of domestic cats, the African wildcat (''Felis silvestris lybica'') and the Arabian sand cat (''Felis margarita'') both inhabit desert environments, and domestic cats still show similar adaptations and behaviors. The cat's ability to thrive in almost any terrestrial habitat has led to its designation as one of the world's worst invasive species.\n\nAs domestic cats are little altered from wildcats, they can readily interbreed. This hybridization poses a danger to the genetic distinctiveness of some wildcat populations, particularly in Scotland and Hungary and possibly also the Iberian Peninsula.\n\n===Feral cats===\n\nFeral farm cat\n\nFeral cats are domestic cats that were born in or have reverted to a wild state. They are unfamiliar with and wary of humans and roam freely in urban and rural areas. The numbers of feral cats is not known, but estimates of the US feral population range from 25 to 60\u00a0million. Feral cats may live alone, but most are found in large colonies, which occupy a specific territory and are usually associated with a source of food. Famous feral cat colonies are found in Rome around the Colosseum and Forum Romanum, with cats at some of these sites being fed and given medical attention by volunteers.\n\nPublic attitudes towards feral cats vary widely, ranging from seeing them as free-ranging pets, to regarding them as vermin. One common approach to reducing the feral cat population is termed 'trap-neuter-return', where the cats are trapped, neutered, immunized against rabies and the feline leukemia virus, and then released. Before releasing them back into their feral colonies, the attending veterinarian often nips the tip off one ear to mark it as neutered and inoculated, since these cats may be trapped again. Volunteers continue to feed and give care to these cats throughout their lives. Given this support, their lifespans are increased, and behavior and nuisance problems caused by competition for food are reduced.\n\n===Impact on prey species===\nCarrying half of a rabbit\nTo date, little scientific data is available to assess the impact of cat predation on prey populations. Even well-fed domestic cats may hunt and kill, mainly catching small mammals, but also birds, amphibians, reptiles, fish, and invertebrates. Hunting by domestic cats may be contributing to the decline in the numbers of birds in urban areas, although the importance of this effect remains controversial. In the wild, the introduction of feral cats during human settlement can threaten native species with extinction. In many cases, controlling or eliminating the populations of non-native cats can produce a rapid recovery in native animals. However, the ecological role of introduced cats can be more complicated. For example, cats can control the numbers of rats, which also prey on birds' eggs and young, so a cat population can protect an endangered bird species by suppressing mesopredators.\n\nIn isolated landmasses, such as Australasia, there are often no other native, medium-sized quadrupedal predators (including other feline species); this tends to exacerbate the impact of feral cats on small native animals. Native species such as the New Zealand kakapo and the Australian bettong, for example, tend to be more ecologically vulnerable and behaviorally \"naive\", when faced with predation by cats. Feral cats have had a major impact on these native species and have played a leading role in the endangerment and extinction of many animals.\n\nEven in places with ancient and numerous cat populations, such as Western Europe, cats appear to be growing in number and independently of their environments' carrying capacity (such as the numbers of prey available). This may be explained, at least in part, by an abundance of food, from sources including feeding by pet owners and scavenging. For instance, research in Britain suggests that a high proportion of cats hunt only \"recreationally\". And in South Sweden, where research in 1982 found that the population density of cats was as high as .\n\n===Impact on birds===\nA black cat eating a house sparrow\nThe domestic cat is a significant predator of birds. UK assessments indicate they may be accountable for an estimated 64.8\u00a0million bird deaths each year. A 2012 study suggests feral cats may kill several billion birds each year in the United States. Certain species appear more susceptible than others; for example, 30% of house sparrow mortality is linked to the domestic cat. In the recovery of ringed robins (''Erithacus rubecula'') and dunnocks (''Prunella modularis''), 31% of deaths were a result of cat predation. In parts of North America, the presence of larger carnivores such as coyotes which prey on cats and other small predators reduces the effect of predation by cats and other small predators such as opossums and raccoons on bird numbers and variety. The proposal that cat populations will increase when the numbers of these top predators decline is called the mesopredator release hypothesis.\n\nOn islands, birds can contribute as much as 60% of a cat's diet. In nearly all cases, however, the cat cannot be identified as the sole cause for reducing the numbers of island birds, and in some instances, eradication of cats has caused a 'mesopredator release' effect; where the suppression of top carnivores creates an abundance of smaller predators that cause a severe decline in their shared prey. Domestic cats are, however, known to be a contributing factor to the decline of many species, a factor that has ultimately led, in some cases, to extinction. The South Island piopio, Chatham Islands rail, the Auckland Islands merganser, and the common diving petrel are a few from a long list, with the most extreme case being the flightless Stephens Island wren, which was driven to extinction only a few years after its discovery.\n\nSome of the same factors that have promoted adaptive radiation of island avifauna over evolutionary time appear to promote vulnerability to non-native species in modern time. The susceptibility of many island birds is undoubtedly due to evolution in the absence of mainland predators, competitors, diseases, and parasites, in addition to lower reproductive rates and extended incubation periods. The loss of flight, or reduced flying ability is also characteristic of many island endemics. These biological aspects have increased vulnerability to extinction in the presence of introduced species, such as the domestic cat. Equally, behavioral traits exhibited by island species, such as \"predatory naivety\" and ground-nesting, have also contributed to their susceptibility.\n" "Interaction with humans" "\nCats are common pets throughout the world, and their worldwide population exceeds 500\u00a0million. Although cat guardianship has commonly been associated with women, a 2007 Gallup poll reported that men and women in the United States of America were equally likely to own a cat.\n\nAs well as being kept as pets, cats are also used in the international fur and leather industries for making coats, hats, blankets and stuffed toys; and shoes, gloves and musical instruments respectively (about 24 cats are needed to make a cat fur coat). This use has now been outlawed in the United States, Australia, and the European Union. Cat pelts have been used for superstitious purposes as part of the practise of witchcraft, and are still made into blankets in Switzerland as folk remedies believed to help rheumatism. In the Western intellectual tradition, the idea of cats as everyday objects have served to illustrate problems of quantum mechanics in the Schr\u00f6dinger's cat thought experiment.\n\nA few attempts to build a cat census have been made over the years, both through associations or national and international organizations (such as the Canadian Federation of Humane Societies's one) and over the net, but such a task does not seem simple to achieve. General estimates for the global population of domestic cats range widely from anywhere between 200 million to 600 million.\n\n===Infections transmitted from cats to humans===\n\n\nCats can be infected or infested with viruses, bacteria, fungus, protozoans, arthropods or worms that can transmit diseases to humans. In some cases, the cat exhibits no symptoms of the disease, however, the same disease can then become evident in a human. The likelihood that a person will become diseased depends on the age and immune status of the person. Humans who have cats living in their home or in close association are more likely to become infected, however, those who do not keep cats as pets might also acquire infections from cat feces and parasites exiting the cat's body. Some of the infections of most concern include salmonella, cat scratch disease and toxoplasmosis.\n\n===History and mythology===\n\nA 19th century drawing of a tabby cat\nTraditionally, historians tended to think ancient Egypt was the site of cat domestication, owing to the clear depictions of house cats in Egyptian paintings about 3,600 years old. However, in 2004, a Neolithic grave excavated in Shillourokambos, Cyprus, contained the skeletons, laid close to one another, of both a human and a cat. The grave is estimated to be 9,500 years old, pushing back the earliest known feline\u2013human association significantly. The cat specimen is large and closely resembles the African wildcat, rather than present-day domestic cats. This discovery, combined with genetic studies, suggests cats were probably domesticated in the Middle East, in the Fertile Crescent around the time of the development of agriculture, and then were brought to Cyprus and Egypt.\n\nDirect evidence for the domestication of cats 5,300 years ago in Quanhucun, China has been published by archaeologists and paleontologists from the University of Washington and Chinese Academy of Sciences. The cats are believed to have been attracted to the village by rodents, which in turn were attracted by grain cultivated and stored by humans.\n\nIn ancient Egypt, cats were sacred animals, with the goddess Bastet often depicted in cat form, sometimes taking on the war-like aspect of a lioness. The Romans are often credited with introducing the domestic cat from Egypt to Europe; in Roman Aquitaine, a first- or second-century engraving of a young girl holding a cat is one of two earliest depictions of the Roman domesticated cat. However, cats possibly were already kept in Europe prior to the Roman Empire, as they may have been present in Britain in the late Iron Age. Domestic cats were spread throughout much of the rest of the world during the Age of Discovery, as they were carried on sailing ships to control shipboard rodents and as good-luck charms (see Ship's cat).\n\nSeveral ancient religions believed cats are exalted souls, companions or guides for humans, that are all-knowing but mute so they cannot influence decisions made by humans. In Japan, the ''maneki neko'' cat is a symbol of good fortune.\n\nAlthough no species are sacred in Islam, cats are revered by Muslims. Some Western writers have stated Muhammad had a favorite cat, Muezza. He is reported to have loved cats so much, \"he would do without his cloak rather than disturb one that was sleeping on it\". The story has no origin in early Muslim writers, and seems to confuse a story of a later Sufi saint, Ahmed ar-Rifa'i, centuries after Muhammad.\n\nFreyja, the goddess of love, beauty, and fertility in Norse mythology, is depicted as riding a chariot drawn by cats.\n\nMany cultures have negative superstitions about cats. An example would be the belief that a black cat \"crossing one's path\" leads to bad luck, or that cats are witches' familiars used to augment a witch's powers and skills. The killing of cats in Medieval Ypres, Belgium, is commemorated in the innocuous present-day Kattenstoet (cat parade).\n\nAccording to a myth in many cultures, cats have multiple lives. In many countries, they are believed to have nine lives, but in Italy, Germany, Greece, Brazil and some Spanish-speaking regions, they are said to have seven lives, while in Turkish and Arabic traditions, the number of lives is six. The myth is attributed to the natural suppleness and swiftness cats exhibit to escape life-threatening situations. Also lending credence to this myth is the fact that falling cats often land on their feet, using an instinctive righting reflex to twist their bodies around. Nonetheless, cats can still be injured or killed by a high fall.\n" "See also" "\n\n\n* Animal testing on cats\n* Animal track\n* Cancer in cats\n* Cat and mouse (cat-and-mouse game)\n* Cat lady\n* Cats and the Internet\n* Cat years\n* List of cat breeds\n* List of cats\n* List of cat documentaries\n* List of fictional cats and other felines\n* Pet door including cat flap\n* Pet first aid\n* Popular cat names\n* Trap-neuter-return\n\n\n;Cats by location\n* Cats in ancient Egypt\n* Cats in Australia\n* Cats in New Zealand\n* Cats in the United States\n\n==References==\n\n" "External links" "\n* \n* \n* \n* \n* \n* \n* High-Resolution Images of the Cat Brain\n* Biodiversity Heritage Library bibliography for ''Felis catus''\n* Catpert.

"Cattle" "Introduction" "\n\n\n\n\n\n'''Cattle'''\u2014colloquially '''cows'''\u2014are the most common type of large domesticated ungulates. They are a prominent modern member of the subfamily Bovinae, are the most widespread species of the genus ''Bos'', and are most commonly classified collectively as '''''Bos taurus'''''. Cattle are raised as livestock for meat (beef and veal), as dairy animals for milk and other dairy products, and as draft animals (oxen or bullocks that pull carts, plows and other implements). Other products include leather and dung for manure or fuel. In some regions, such as parts of India, cattle have significant religious meaning. From as few as 80 progenitors domesticated in southeast Turkey about 10,500 years ago, according to an estimate from 2011, there are 1.4 billion cattle in the world. In 2009, cattle became one of the first livestock animals to have a fully mapped genome. Some consider cattle the oldest form of wealth, and cattle raiding consequently one of the earliest forms of theft.\n" " Taxonomy " "\nCattle were originally identified as three separate species: ''Bos taurus'', the European or \"taurine\" cattle (including similar types from Africa and Asia); ''Bos indicus'', the zebu; and the extinct ''Bos primigenius'', the aurochs. The aurochs is ancestral to both zebu and taurine cattle. These have been reclassified as one species, ''Bos taurus'', with three subspecies: ''Bos taurus primigenius'', ''Bos taurus indicus'', and ''Bos taurus taurus''.\n\nComplicating the matter is the ability of cattle to interbreed with other closely related species. Hybrid individuals and even breeds exist, not only between taurine cattle and zebu (such as the sanga cattle, ''Bos taurus africanus''), but also between one or both of these and some other members of the genus ''Bos''yaks (the dzo or yattle), banteng, and gaur. Hybrids such as the beefalo breed can even occur between taurine cattle and either species of bison, leading some authors to consider them part of the genus ''Bos'', as well. The hybrid origin of some types may not be obvious \u2013 for example, genetic testing of the Dwarf Lulu breed, the only taurine-type cattle in Nepal, found them to be a mix of taurine cattle, zebu, and yak. However, cattle cannot successfully be hybridized with more distantly related bovines such as water buffalo or African buffalo.\n\nThe aurochs originally ranged throughout Europe, North Africa, and much of Asia. In historical times, its range became restricted to Europe, and the last known individual died in Masovia, Poland, in about 1627. Breeders have attempted to recreate cattle of similar appearance to aurochs by crossing traditional types of domesticated cattle, creating the Heck cattle breed.\n\n\nFile:Cow female black white.jpg|A Holstein Fresian cow, a typical member of the ''Bos taurus taurus'' sub-species\nFile:Zubron2.jpg|\u017bubro\u0144, a wisent and cattle hybrid\n\n" " Etymology " "''Cattle'' did not originate as the term for bovine animals. It was borrowed from Anglo-Norman , itself from medieval Latin 'principal sum of money, capital', itself derived in turn from Latin 'head'. ''Cattle'' originally meant movable personal property, especially livestock of any kind, as opposed to real property (the land, which also included wild or small free-roaming animals such as chickens \u2014 they were sold as part of the land). The word is a variant of ''chattel'' (a unit of personal property) and closely related to ''capital'' in the economic sense. The term replaced earlier Old English 'cattle, property', which survives today as ''fee'' (cf. , , ).\n\nThe word \"cow\" came via Anglo-Saxon (plural ''c\u0233''), from Common Indo-European (genitive ) = \"a bovine animal\", compare Persian , Sanskrit , Welsh . The plural ''c\u0233'' became ''ki'' or ''kie'' in Middle English, and an additional plural ending was often added, giving ''kine'', ''kien'', but also ''kies'', ''kuin'' and others. This is the origin of the now archaic English plural, \"kine\". The Scots language singular is coo or cou, and the plural is \"kye\".\n\nIn older English sources such as the King James Version of the Bible, \"cattle\" refers to livestock, as opposed to \"deer\" which refers to wildlife. \"Wild cattle\" may refer to feral cattle or to undomesticated species of the genus ''Bos''. Today, when used without any other qualifier, the modern meaning of \"cattle\" is usually restricted to domesticated bovines.\n" " Terminology " "\nOngole bull\nHereford bull\nIn general, the same words are used in different parts of the world, but with minor differences in the definitions. The terminology described here contrasts the differences in definition between the United Kingdom and other British-influenced parts of the world such as Canada, Australia, New Zealand, Ireland and the United States.\n* An \"intact\" (i.e., not castrated) adult male is called a '''bull'''. A wild, young, unmarked bull is known as a \"micky\" in Australia. An unbranded bovine of either sex is called a \"maverick\" in the USA and Canada.\n* An adult female that has had a calf (or two, depending on regional usage) is a '''cow'''.\n* A young female before she has had a calf of her own and is under three years of age is called a '''heifer''' ( ). A young female that has had only one calf is occasionally called a '''first-calf heifer'''.\n* Young cattle of both sexes are called '''calves''' until they are weaned, then '''weaners''' until they are a year old in some areas; in other areas, particularly with male beef cattle, they may be known as '''feeder calves''' or simply feeders. After that, they are referred to as '''yearlings''' or '''stirks''' if between one and two years of age.\n* A castrated male is called a '''steer''' in the United States; older steers are often called '''bullocks''' in other parts of the world, but in North America this term refers to a young bull. Piker bullocks are micky bulls (uncastrated young male bulls) that were caught, castrated and then later lost. In Australia, the term \"Japanese ox\" is used for grain-fed steers in the weight range of 500 to 650\u00a0kg that are destined for the Japanese meat trade. In North America, draft cattle under four years old are called working steers. Improper or late castration on a bull results in it becoming a coarse steer known as a '''stag''' in Australia, Canada and New Zealand. In some countries, an incompletely castrated male is known also as a '''rig'''.\n* A castrated male (occasionally a female or in some areas a bull) kept for draft purposes is called an '''ox''' (plural oxen); \"ox\" may also be used to refer to some carcass products from any adult cattle, such as ox-hide, ox-blood, oxtail, or ox-liver.\n* A '''springer''' is a cow or heifer close to calving.\n* In all cattle species, a female twin of a bull usually becomes an infertile partial intersex, and is called a '''freemartin'''.\n* Neat (horned oxen, from which neatsfoot oil is derived), beef (young ox) and beefing (young animal fit for slaughtering) are obsolete terms, although '''poll, pollard''' or '''polled cattle''' are still terms in use for naturally hornless animals, or in some areas also for those that have been disbudded or dehorned.\n* Cattle raised for human consumption are called '''beef cattle'''. Within the American beef cattle industry, the older term beef (plural beeves) is still used to refer to an animal of either sex. Some Australian, Canadian, New Zealand and British people use the term '''beast'''.\n* Cattle bred specifically for milk production are called '''milking or dairy cattle'''; a cow kept to provide milk for one family may be called a '''house cow''' or '''milker'''. A '''\"fresh cow\"''' is a dairy term for a cow or first-calf heifer who has recently given birth, or \"freshened.\"\n* The adjective applying to cattle in general is usually '''bovine'''. The terms \"bull\", \"cow\" and \"calf\" are also used by extension to denote the sex or age of other large animals, including whales, hippopotamuses, camels, elk and elephants.\n\n\n\n=== Singular terminology issue ===\nCattle can only be used in the plural and not in the singular: it is a plurale tantum. Thus one may refer to \"three cattle\" or \"some cattle\", but not \"one cattle\". No universally used singular form in modern English of \"cattle\" exists, other than the sex- and age-specific terms such as cow, bull, steer and heifer. Historically, \"ox\" was not a sex-specific term for adult cattle, but generally this is now used only for draft cattle, especially adult castrated males. The term is also incorporated into the names of other species, such as the musk ox and \"grunting ox\" (yak), and is used in some areas to describe certain cattle products such as ox-hide and oxtail.\n\nBrahman calf\n\"Cow\" is in general use as a singular for the collective \"cattle\", despite the objections by those who insist it to be a female-specific term. Although the phrase \"that cow is a bull\" is absurd from a lexicographic standpoint, the word \"cow\" is easy to use when a singular is needed and the sex is unknown or irrelevant \u2013 when \"there is a cow in the road\", for example. Further, any herd of fully mature cattle in or near a pasture is statistically likely to consist mostly of cows, so the term is probably accurate even in the restrictive sense. Other than the few bulls needed for breeding, the vast majority of male cattle are castrated as calves and slaughtered for meat before the age of three years. Thus, in a pastured herd, any calves or herd bulls usually are clearly distinguishable from the cows due to distinctively different sizes and clear anatomical differences. Merriam-Webster, a US dictionary, recognizes the sex-nonspecific use of \"cow\" as an alternate definition, whereas Collins, a UK dictionary, does not.\n\nColloquially, more general nonspecific terms may denote cattle when a singular form is needed. Australian, New Zealand and British farmers use the term \"beast\" or \"cattle beast\". \"Bovine\" is also used in Britain. The term \"critter\" is common in the western United States and Canada, particularly when referring to young cattle. In some areas of the American South (particularly the Appalachian region), where both dairy and beef cattle are present, an individual animal was once called a \"beef critter\", though that term is becoming archaic.\n\n=== Other terminology ===\n\nCattle raised for human consumption are called \"beef cattle\". Within the beef cattle industry in parts of the United States, the term \"beef\" (plural \"beeves\") is still used in its archaic sense to refer to an animal of either sex. Cows of certain breeds that are kept for the milk they give are called \"dairy cows\" or \"milking cows\" (formerly \"milch cows\"). Most young male offspring of dairy cows are sold for veal, and may be referred to as veal calves.\n\nThe term \"dogies\" is used to describe orphaned calves in the context of ranch work in the American West, as in \"Keep them dogies moving\". In some places, a cow kept to provide milk for one family is called a \"house cow\". Other obsolete terms for cattle include \"neat\" (this use survives in \"neatsfoot oil\", extracted from the feet and legs of cattle), and \"beefing\" (young animal fit for slaughter).\n\nAn onomatopoeic term for one of the most common sounds made by cattle is \"moo\" (also called ''lowing''). There are a number of other sounds made by cattle, including calves ''bawling'', and bulls ''bellowing''. Bawling is most common for cows after weaning of a calf. The bullroarer makes a sound similar to a bull's territorial call.\n" " Characteristics " "\n=== Anatomy ===\n\nDairy farming and the milking of cattle was once performed largely by hand, but is now usually replaced by machine\nCattle are large quadrupedal ungulate mammals with cloven hooves. Most breeds have horns, which can be as large as the Texas Longhorn or small like a scur. Careful genetic selection has allowed polled (hornless) cattle to become widespread.\nAnatomy model of a bovine (cow)\nCattle are ruminants, meaning their digestive system is highly specialized to allow the use of poorly digestible plants as food. Cattle have one stomach with four compartments, the rumen, reticulum, omasum, and abomasum, with the rumen being the largest compartment. \nThe reticulum, the smallest compartment, is known as the \"honeycomb\". Cattle sometimes consume metal objects which are deposited in the reticulum and irritation from the metal objects causes hardware disease. The omasum's main function is to absorb water and nutrients from the digestible feed. The omasum is known as the \"many plies\". The abomasum is like the human stomach; this is why it is known as the \"true stomach\".\n\nCattle are known for regurgitating and re-chewing their food, known as cud chewing, like most ruminants. While the animal is feeding, the food is swallowed without being chewed and goes into the rumen for storage until the animal can find a quiet place to continue the digestion process. The food is regurgitated, a mouthful at a time, back up to the mouth, where the food, now called the cud, is chewed by the molars, grinding down the course vegetation to small particles. The cud is then swallowed again and further digested by specialized microorganisms in the rumen. These microbes are primarily responsible for decomposing cellulose and other carbohydrates into volatile fatty acids cattle use as their primary metabolic fuel. The microbes inside the rumen also synthesize amino acids from non-protein nitrogenous sources, such as urea and ammonia. As these microbes reproduce in the rumen, older generations die and their cells continue on through the digestive tract. These cells are then partially digested in the small intestines, allowing cattle to gain a high-quality protein source. These features allow cattle to thrive on grasses and other tough vegetation.\n\n====Gestation and size====\nThe gestation period for a cow is about nine months long. A newborn calf's size can vary among breeds, but a typical calf weighs between . Adult size and weight vary significantly among breeds and sex. The world record for the heaviest bull was , a Chianina named Donetto, when he was exhibited at the Arezzo show in 1955. The heaviest steer was eight-year-old \u2018Old Ben\u2019, a Shorthorn/Hereford cross weighing in at in 1910. Steers are generally killed before reaching . Breeding stock may be allowed a longer lifespan, occasionally living as long as 25 years. The oldest recorded cow, Big Bertha, died at the age of 48 in 1993.\n\n====Reproduction====\nReproductive system of a bovine female.\nOx testis.\nOn farms it is very common to use artifice, such as artificial insemination, to obtain a cattle with the fewest physiologically deficient individuals. With this artificial selection it is possible to obtain a herd more resistant to diseases and with size that makes the commercialization of bovine derivatives viable.\n\n'''Artificial insemination''' or '''intrauterine insemination''' is a medically assisted reproduction technique consisting of the artificial deposition of semen in the female's genital tract. It is used in cases where the spermatozoa can not reach the fallopian tubes or simply by choice of the owner of the animal. It consists of transferring, to the uterine cavity, spermatozoa previously collected and processed, with the selection of morphologically more normal and mobile spermatozoa.\n\n====Udder====\nA cow's udder contains two pairs of mammary glands, (commonly referred to as ''teats'') creating four \"quarters\". The front ones are referred to as ''fore quarters'' and the rear ones ''rear quarters''.\n\n====Male genitalia====\n\nBulls become fertile at about seven months of age. Their fertility is closely related to the size of their testicles, and one simple test of fertility is to measure the circumference of the scrotum: a young bull is likely to be fertile once this reaches ; that of a fully adult bull may be over .\n\nBulls have a fibro-elastic penis. Given the small amount of erectile tissue, there is little enlargement after erection. The penis is quite rigid when non-erect, and becomes even more rigid during erection. Protrusion is not affected much by erection, but more by relaxation of the retractor penis muscle and straightening of the sigmoid flexure.\n\n=== Weight ===\nThe weight of adult cattle always depends on the breed. Smaller kinds, such as Dexter and Jersey adults, range between . Large Continental breeds, such as Charolais, Marchigiana, Belgian Blue and Chianina, adults range from . British breeds, such as Hereford, Angus, and Shorthorn, mature between , occasionally higher, particularly with Angus and Hereford.\n\nBulls will be a bit larger than cows of the same breed by a few hundred kilograms. Chianina bulls can weigh up to ; British bulls, such as Angus and Hereford, can weigh as little as to as much as .\n\nIt is difficult to generalize or average out the weight of all cattle because different kinds have different averages of weights. However, according to some sources, the average weight of all cattle is . Finishing steers in the feedlot average about ; cows about , and bulls about .\n\nIn the United States, the average weight of beef cattle has steadily increased, especially since the 1970s, requiring the building of new slaughterhouses able to handle larger carcasses. New packing plants in the 1980s stimulated a large increase in cattle weights. Before 1790 beef cattle averaged only net; and thereafter weights climbed steadily.\n" "Cognition" "In laboratory studies, young cattle are able to memorize the locations of several food sources and retain this memory for at least 8\u00a0hours, although this declined after 12\u00a0hours. Fifteen-month-old heifers learn more quickly than adult cows which have had either one or two calvings, but their longer-term memory is less stable. Mature cattle perform well in spatial learning tasks and have a good long-term memory in these tests. Cattle tested in a radial arm maze are able to remember the locations of high-quality food for at least 30 days. Although they initially learn to avoid low-quality food, this memory diminishes over the same duration. Under less artificial testing conditions, young cattle showed they were able to remember the location of feed for at least 48 days. Cattle can make an association between a visual stimulus and food within 1 day \u2013 memory of this association can be retained for 1 year, despite a slight decay.\n\nCalves are capable of discrimination learning and adult cattle compare favourably with small mammals in their learning ability in the Closed-field Test.\n\nThey are also able to discriminate between familiar individuals, and among humans. Cattle can tell the difference between familiar and unfamiliar animals of the same species (conspecifics). Studies show they behave less aggressively toward familiar individuals when they are forming a new group. Calves can also discriminate between humans based on previous experience, as shown by approaching those who handled them positively and avoiding those who handled them aversively. Although cattle can discriminate between humans by their faces alone, they also use other cues such as the color of clothes when these are available.\n\nIn audio play-back studies, calves prefer their own mother's vocalizations compared to the vocalizations of an unfamiliar mother.\n\nIn laboratory studies using images, cattle can discriminate between images of the heads of cattle and other animal species. They are also able to distinguish between familiar and unfamiliar conspecifics. Furthermore, they are able to categorize images as familiar and unfamiliar individuals.\n\nWhen mixed with other individuals, cloned calves from the same donor form subgroups, indicating that kin discrimination occurs and may be a basis of grouping behaviour. It has also been shown using images of cattle that both artificially inseminated and cloned calves have similar cognitive capacities of kin and non-kin discrimination.\n\nCattle can recognize familiar individuals. Visual individual recognition is a more complex mental process than visual discrimination. It requires the recollection of the learned idiosyncratic identity of an individual that has been previously encountered and the formation of a mental representation. By using 2-dimensional images of the heads of one cow (face, profiles, \u00be views), all the tested heifers showed individual recognition of familiar and unfamiliar individuals from their own breed. Furthermore, almost all the heifers recognized unknown individuals from different breeds, although this was achieved with greater difficulty. Individual recognition was most difficult when the visual features of the breed being tested were quite different from the breed in the image, for example, the breed being tested had no spots whereas the image was of a spotted breed.\n\nCattle use visual/brain lateralisation in their visual scanning of novel and familiar stimuli. Domestic cattle prefer to view novel stimuli with the left eye, i.e. using the right brain hemisphere (similar to horses, Australian magpies, chicks, toads and fish) but use the right eye, i.e. using the left hemisphere, for viewing familiar stimuli.\n" "Temperament and emotions" "\nEar postures of cows are studied as indicators of their emotional state and overall animal welfare.\nIn cattle, temperament can affect production traits such as carcass and meat quality or milk yield as well as affecting the animal's overall health and reproduction. Cattle temperament is defined as \"the consistent behavioral and physiological difference observed between individuals in response to a stressor or environmental challenge and is used to describe the relatively stable difference in the behavioral predisposition of an animal, which can be related to psychobiological mechanisms\". Generally, cattle temperament is assumed to be multidimensional. Five underlying categories of temperament traits have been proposed: \n*shyness-boldness\n*exploration-avoidance\n*activity\n*aggressiveness\n*sociability\n\nIn a study on Holstein\u2013Friesian heifers learning to press a panel to open a gate for access to a food reward, the researchers also recorded the heart rate and behavior of the heifers when moving along the race towards the food. When the heifers made clear improvements in learning, they had higher heart rates and tended to move more vigorously along the race. The researchers concluded this was an indication that cattle may react emotionally to their own learning improvement.\n\nNegative emotional states are associated with a bias toward negative (pessimistic) responses towards ambiguous cues in judgement tasks \u2013 as encapsulated in the question of \"is the glass half empty or half full?\". After separation from their mothers, Holstein calves showed such a cognitive bias indicative of low mood. A similar study showed that after hot-iron disbudding (dehorning), calves had a similar negative bias indicating that post-operative pain following this routine procedure results in a negative change in emotional state.\n\nIn studies of visual discrimination, the position of the ears has been used as an indicator of emotional state. When cattle are stressed, this can be recognised by other cattle as it is communicated by alarm substances in the urine.\n\nCattle are very gregarious and even short-term isolation is considered to cause severe psychological stress. When Aubrac and Fresian heifers are isolated, they increase their vocalizations and experience increased heart rate and plasma cortisol concentrations. These physiological changes are greater in Aubracs. When visual contact is re-instated, vocalisations rapidly decline, regardless of the familiarity of the returning cattle, however, heart rate decreases are greater if the returning cattle are familiar to the previously-isolated individual. Mirrors have been used to reduce stress in isolated cattle.\n" "Senses" "Cattle use all of the five widely recognized sensory modalities. These can assist in some complex behavioural patterns, for example, in grazing behaviour. Cattle eat mixed diets, but when given the opportunity, show a partial preference of approximately 70% clover and 30% grass. This preference has a diurnal pattern, with a stronger preference for clover in the morning, and the proportion of grass increasing towards the evening.\n\n===Vision===\nVision is the dominant sense in cattle and they obtain almost 50% of their information visually.\n\n\nCattle are a prey animal and to assist predator detection, their eyes are located on the sides of their head rather than the front. This gives them a wide field of view of 330o but limits binocular vision (and therefore stereopsis) to 30o to 50o compared to 140o in humans. This means they have a blind spot directly behind them. Cattle have good visual acuity (1/20) but compared to humans, the visual accommodation of cattle is poor.\n\nCattle have two kinds of color receptors in the cone cells of their retinas. This means that cattle are dichromatic, as are most other non-primate land mammals. There are two to three rods per cone in the fovea centralis but five to six near the optic papilla. Cattle can distinguish long wavelength colors (yellow, orange and red) much better than the shorter wavelengths (blue, grey and green). Calves are able to discriminate between long (red) and short (blue) or medium (green) wavelengths, but have limited ability to discriminate between the short and medium. They also approach handlers more quickly under red light. Whilst having good color sensitivity, it is not as good as humans or sheep.\n\nA common misconception about cattle (particularly bulls) is that they are enraged by the color red (something provocative is often said to be \"like a red flag to a bull\"). This is a myth. In bullfighting, it is the movement of the red flag or cape that irritates the bull and incites it to charge.\n\n===Taste===\nCattle have a well-developed sense of taste and can distinguish the four primary tastes (sweet, salty, bitter and sour). They possess around 20,000 taste buds. The strength of taste perception depends on the individual's current food requirements. They avoid bitter-tasting foods (potentially toxic) and have a marked preference for sweet (high calorific value) and salty foods (electrolyte balance). Their sensitivity to sour-tasting foods helps them to maintain optimal ruminal pH.\n\nPlants have low levels of sodium and cattle have developed the capacity of seeking salt by taste and smell. If cattle become depleted of sodium salts, they show increased locomotion directed to searching for these. To assist in their search, the olfactory and gustatory receptors able to detect minute amounts of sodium salts increase their sensitivity as biochemical disruption develops with sodium salt depletion.\n\n===Audition===\nCattle hearing ranges from 23 Hz to 35\u00a0kHz. Their frequency of best sensitivity is 8\u00a0kHz and they have a lowest threshold of \u221221 db (re 20 \u03bcN/m\u22122), which means their hearing is more acute than horses (lowest threshold of 7 db). Sound localization acuity thresholds are an average of 30\u00b0. This means that cattle are less able to localise sounds compared to goats (18\u00b0), dogs (8\u00b0) and humans (0.8\u00b0). Because cattle have a broad foveal fields of view covering almost the entire horizon, they may not need very accurate locus information from their auditory systems to direct their gaze to a sound source.\n\nVocalisations are an important mode of communication amongst cattle and can provide information on the age, sex, dominance status and reproductive status of the caller. Calves can recognize their mothers using vocal and vocal behaviour may play a role by indicating estrus and competitive display by bulls.\n\n===Olfaction and gustation===\nSeveral senses are used in social relationships between cattle\nCattle have a range of odiferous glands over their body including interdigital, infraorbital, inguinal and sebaceous glands, indicating that olfaction probably plays a large role in their social life. Both the primary olfactory system using the olfactory bulbs, and the secondary olfactory system using the vomeronasal organ are used. This latter olfactory system is used in the flehmen response. There is evidence that when cattle are stressed, this can be recognised by other cattle and this is communicated by alarm substances in the urine. The odour of dog faeces induces behavioural changes prior to cattle feeding, whereas the odours of urine from either stressed or non-stressed conspecifics and blood have no effect.\n\nIn the laboratory, cattle can be trained to recognise conspecific individuals using olfaction only.\n\nIn general, cattle use their sense of smell to \"expand\" on information detected by other sensory modalities. However, in the case of social and reproductive behaviours, olfaction is a key source of information.\n\n===Touch===\nCattle have tactile sensations detected mainly by mechanoreceptors, thermoreceptors and nociceptors in the skin and muzzle. These are used most frequently when cattle explore their environment.\n\n===Magnetoreception===\nThere is conflicting evidence for magnetoreception in cattle. One study reported that resting and grazing cattle tend to align their body axes in the geomagnetic North-South (N-S) direction. In a follow-up study, cattle exposed to various magnetic fields directly beneath or in the vicinity of power lines trending in various magnetic directions exhibited distinct patterns of alignment. However, in 2011, a group of Czech researchers reported their failed attempt to replicate the finding using Google Earth images.\n" "Behavior" "Under natural conditions, calves stay with their mother until weaning at 8 to 11 months. Heifer and bull calves are equally attached to their mothers in the first few months of life. Cattle are considered to be \"hider\" type animals, but in the artificial environment of small calving pens, close proximity between cow and calf is maintained by the mother at the first three calvings but this changes to being mediated by the calf after these. Primiparous dams show a higher incidence of abnormal maternal behavior.\n\nVideo of a calf suckling\nBeef-calves reared on the range suckle an average of 5.0 times every 24\u00a0hours with an average total time of 46\u00a0min spent suckling. There is a diurnal rhythm in suckling activity with peaks between 05:00\u201307:00, 10:00\u201313:00 and 17:00\u201321:00.\n\nStudies on the natural weaning of zebu cattle (''Bos indicus'') have shown that the cow weans her calves over a 2-week period, but after that, she continues to show strong affiliatory behavior with her offspring and preferentially chooses them for grooming and as grazing partners for at least 4\u20135 years.\n\n===Reproductive behavior===\nSemi-wild Highland cattle heifers first give birth at 2 or 3 years of age and the timing of birth is synchronized with increases in natural food quality. Average calving interval is 391\u00a0days, and calving mortality within the first year of life is 5%.\n\n===Dominance and leadership===\nOne study showed that over a 4-year period, dominance relationships within a herd of semi-wild highland cattle were very firm. There were few overt aggressive conflicts and the majority of disputes were settled by agonistic (non-aggressive, competitive) behaviors that involved no physical contact between opponents (e.g. threatening and spontaneous withdrawing). Such agonistic behavior reduces the risk of injury. Dominance status depended on age and sex, with older animals generally being dominant to young ones and males dominant to females. Young bulls gained superior dominance status over adult cows when they reached about 2 years of age.\n\nAs with many animal dominance hierarchies, dominance-associated aggressiveness does not correlate with rank position, but is closely related to rank distance between individuals.\n\nDominance is maintained in several ways. Cattle often engage in mock fights where they test each other's strength in a non-aggressive way. Licking is primarily performed by subordinates and received by dominant animals. Mounting is a playful behavior shown by calves of both sexes and by bulls and sometimes by cows in estrus, however, this is not a dominance related behavior as has been found in other species.\n\nThe horns of cattle are \"honest signals\" used in mate selection. Furthermore, horned cattle attempt to keep greater distances between themselves and have fewer physical interactions than hornless cattle. This leads to more stable social relationships.\n\nIn calves, the frequency of agonistic behavior decreases as space allowance increases, but this does not occur for changes in group size. However, in adult cattle, the number of agonistic encounters increases as the group size increases.\n\n===Grazing behavior===\nWhen grazing, cattle vary several aspects of their bite, i.e. tongue and jaw movements, depending on characteristics of the plant they are eating. Bite area decreases with the density of the plants but increases with their height. Bite area is determined by the sweep of the tongue; in one study observing steers, bite area reached a maximum of approximately . Bite depth increases with the height of the plants. By adjusting their behavior, cattle obtain heavier bites in swards that are tall and sparse compared with short, dense swards of equal mass/area. Cattle adjust other aspects of their grazing behavior in relation to the available food; foraging velocity decreases and intake rate increases in areas of abundant palatable forage.\n\nCattle avoid grazing areas contaminated by the faeces of other cattle more strongly than they avoid areas contaminated by sheep, but they do not avoid pasture contaminated by rabbit faeces.\n" " Genetics " "\nIn the 24 April 2009, edition of the journal ''Science'', a team of researchers led by the National Institutes of Health and the US Department of Agriculture reported having mapped the bovine genome. The scientists found cattle have about 22,000 genes, and 80% of their genes are shared with humans, and they share about 1000 genes with dogs and rodents, but are not found in humans. Using this bovine \"HapMap\", researchers can track the differences between the breeds that affect the quality of meat and milk yields.\n\nBehavioral traits of cattle can be as heritable as some production traits, and often, the two can be related. The heritability of fear varies markedly in cattle from low (0.1) to high (0.53); such high variation is also found in pigs and sheep, probably due to differences in the methods used. The heritability of temperament (response to isolation during handling) has been calculated as 0.36 and 0.46 for habituation to handling. Rangeland assessments show that the heritability of aggressiveness in cattle is around 0.36.\n\nQuantitative trait loci (QTLs) have been found for a range of production and behavioral characteristics for both dairy and beef cattle.\n" " Domestication and husbandry " "Texas Longhorns are a US breed\nCattle occupy a unique role in human history, having been domesticated since at least the early neolithic age.\n\nArcheozoological and genetic data indicate that cattle were first domesticated from wild aurochs (''Bos primigenius'') approximately 10,500 years ago. There were two major areas of domestication: one in the area that is now Turkey, giving rise to the taurine line, and a second in the area that is now Pakistan, resulting in the indicine line. Modern mitochondrial DNA variation indicates the taurine line may have arisen from as few as 80 aurochs tamed in the upper reaches of Mesopotamia near the villages of \u00c7ay\u00f6n\u00fc Tepesi in southeastern Turkey and Dja'de el-Mughara in northern Iraq.\n\nAlthough European cattle are largely descended from the taurine lineage, gene flow from African cattle (partially of indicine origin) contributed substantial genomic components to both southern European cattle breeds and their New World descendants. A study on 134 breeds showed that modern taurine cattle originated from Africa, Asia, North and South America, Australia, and Europe. Some researchers have suggested that African taurine cattle are derived from a third independent domestication from North African aurochsen.\n\n=== Usage as money ===\nAs early as 9000 BC both grain and cattle were used as money or as ''barter'' (Davies) (the ''first grain remains'' found, considered to be evidence of pre-agricultural practice date to 17,000 BC). Some evidence also exists to suggest that other animals, such as camels and goats, may have been used as currency in some parts of the world. One of the advantages of using cattle as currency is that it allows the seller to set a fixed price. It even created the standard pricing. For example, two chickens were traded for one cow as cows were deemed to be more valuable than chickens.\n \nThis Hereford is being inspected for ticks; cattle are often restrained or confined in cattle crushes (squeeze chutes) when given medical attention.\n\n=== Modern husbandry ===\nnose ring to prevent it from suckling, which is usually to assist in weaning.\nCattle are often raised by allowing herds to graze on the grasses of large tracts of rangeland. Raising cattle in this manner allows the use of land that might be unsuitable for growing crops. The most common interactions with cattle involve daily feeding, cleaning and milking. Many routine husbandry practices involve ear tagging, dehorning, loading, medical operations, vaccinations and hoof care, as well as training for agricultural shows and preparations. Also, some cultural differences occur in working with cattle; the cattle husbandry of Fulani men rests on behavioural techniques, whereas in Europe, cattle are controlled primarily by physical means, such as fences. Breeders use cattle husbandry to reduce ''M. bovis'' infection susceptibility by selective breeding and maintaining herd health to avoid concurrent disease.\n\nCattle are farmed for beef, veal, dairy, and leather, and they are less commonly used for conservation grazing, simply to maintain grassland for wildlife \u2013 for example, in Epping Forest, England. They are often used in some of the most wild places for livestock. Depending on the breed, cattle can survive on hill grazing, heaths, marshes, moors and semidesert. Modern cattle are more commercial than older breeds and, having become more specialized, are less versatile. For this reason, many smaller farmers still favor old breeds, such as the Jersey dairy breed.\nIn Portugal, Spain, southern France and some Latin American countries, bulls are used in the activity of bullfighting; ''Jallikattu'' in India is a bull taming sport radically different from European bullfighting, humans are unarmed and bulls are not killed. In many other countries bullfighting is illegal. Other activities such as bull riding are seen as part of a rodeo, especially in North America. Bull-leaping, a central ritual in Bronze Age Minoan culture (see Bull (mythology)), still exists in southwestern France. In modern times, cattle are also entered into agricultural competitions. These competitions can involve live cattle or cattle carcases in hoof and hook events.\n\nIn terms of food intake by humans, consumption of cattle is less efficient than of grain or vegetables with regard to land use, and hence cattle grazing consumes more area than such other agricultural production when raised on grains. Nonetheless, cattle and other forms of domesticated animals can sometimes help to use plant resources in areas not easily amenable to other forms of agriculture.\n\n=== Sleep ===\n\nThe average sleep time of a domestic cow is about four hours a day. Cattle do have a stay apparatus, but do not sleep standing up, they lie down to sleep deeply. In spite of the urban legend, cows cannot be tipped over by people pushing on them.\n" " Economy " "Holstein cattle are the primary dairy breed, bred for high milk production.\nThe meat of adult cattle is known as beef, and that of calves is veal. Other animal parts are also used as food products, including blood, liver, kidney, heart and oxtail. Cattle also produce milk, and dairy cattle are specifically bred to produce the large quantities of milk processed and sold for human consumption. Cattle today are the basis of a multibillion-dollar industry worldwide. The international trade in beef for 2000 was over $30 billion and represented only 23% of world beef production. The production of milk, which is also made into cheese, butter, yogurt, and other dairy products, is comparable in economic size to beef production, and provides an important part of the food supply for many of the world's people. Cattle hides, used for leather to make shoes, couches and clothing, are another widespread product. Cattle remain broadly used as draft animals in many developing countries, such as India. Cattle are also used in some sporting games, including rodeo and bullfighting.\n\n===Cattle meat production===\n\n\n+Cattle meat production (kt)\n Country !! 2008 !! 2009 !! 2010 !! 2011\n\n Argentina \n 3132 \n 3378 \n 2630 \n 2497\n\n Australia \n 2132 \n 2124 \n 2630 \n 2420\n\n Brazil \n 9024 \n 9395 \n 9115 \n 9030\n\n China \n 5841 \n 6060 \n 6244 \n 6182\n\n Germany \n 1199\n 1190 \n 1205 \n 1170\n\n Japan \n 520 \n 517 \n 515 \n 500\n\n USA \n 12163 \n 11891 \n 12046 \n 11988\n\n\nSource: Helgi Library, World Bank, FAOSTAT\n\nAbout half the world's meat comes from cattle.\n\n=== Dairy ===\n\nCertain breeds of cattle, such as the Holstein-Friesian, are used to produce milk, which can be processed into dairy products such as milk, cheese or yogurt. Dairy cattle are usually kept on specialized dairy farms designed for milk production. Most cows are milked twice per day, with milk processed at a dairy, which may be onsite at the farm or the milk may be shipped to a dairy plant for eventual sale of a dairy product. For dairy cattle to continue producing milk, they must give birth to one calf per year. If the calf is male, it generally is slaughtered at a young age to produce veal. They will continue to produce milk until three weeks before birth. Over the last fifty years, dairy farming has become more intensive to increase the yield of milk produced by each cow. The Holstein-Friesian is the breed of dairy cow most common in the UK, Europe and the United States. It has been bred selectively to produce the highest yields of milk of any cow. Around 22 litres per day is average in the UK.\n\n=== Hides ===\nMost cattle are not kept solely for hides, which are usually a by-product of beef production. Hides are most commonly used for leather which can be made into a variety of product including shoes. In 2012 India was the world's largest producer of cattle hides.\n" " Feral cattle " "Feral cattle are defined as being 'cattle that are not domesticated or cultivated'. Populations of feral cattle are known to come from and exist in: Australia, United States of America, Colombia, Argentina, Spain, France and many islands, including New Guinea, Hawaii, Galapagos, Juan Fern\u00e1ndez Islands, Hispaniola (Dominican Republic and Haiti), Tristan da Cunha and \u00cele Amsterdam, two islands of Kuchinoshima and Kazura Island next to Naru Island in Japan. Chillingham cattle is sometimes regarded as a feral breed. Aleutian wild cattles can be found on Aleutian Islands. The \"Kinmen cattle\" which is dominantly found on Kinmen Island, Taiwan is mostly domesticated while smaller portion of the population is believed to live in the wild due to accidental releases.\n" " Environmental impact " "\nCattle in dry landscape north of Alice Springs, Australia (CSIRO)\nCattle near the Bruneau River in Elko County, Nevada\nA report from the Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) states that the livestock sector is \"responsible for 18% of greenhouse gas emissions\". The report concludes, unless changes are made, the damage thought to be linked to livestock may more than double by 2050, as demand for meat increases. Another concern is manure, which if not well-managed, can lead to adverse environmental consequences. However, manure also is a valuable source of nutrients and organic matter when used as a fertilizer. Manure was used as a fertilizer on about 15.8 million acres of US cropland in 2006, with manure from cattle accounting for nearly 70% of manure applications to soybeans and about 80% or more of manure applications to corn, wheat, barley, oats and sorghum. Substitution of manure for synthetic fertilizers in crop production can be environmentally significant, as between 43 and 88 megajoules of fossil fuel energy would be used per kg of nitrogen in manufacture of synthetic nitrogenous fertilizers. A '''cow''' does on overage release between 70 and 120\u00a0kg of '''Methane''' per year. '''Methane''' is a greenhouse '''gas''' like carbon dioxide (CO2). But the negative effect on the climate of '''Methane''' is 23 times higher than the effect of CO2.\n\nOne of the cited changes suggested to reduce greenhouse gas emissions is intensification of the livestock industry, since intensification leads to less land for a given level of production. This assertion is supported by studies of the US beef production system, suggesting practices prevailing in 2007 involved 8.6% less fossil fuel use, 16.3% less greenhouse gas emissions, 12.1% less water use, and 33.0% less land use, per unit mass of beef produced, than those used in 1977. The analysis took into account not only practices in feedlots, but also feed production (with less feed needed in more intensive production systems), forage-based cow-calf operations and back-grounding before cattle enter a feedlot (with more beef produced per head of cattle from those sources, in more intensive systems), and beef from animals derived from the dairy industry.\n\nThe number of American cattle kept in confined feedlot conditions fluctuates. From 1 January 2002 through 1 January 2012, there was no significant overall upward or downward trend in the number of US cattle on feed for slaughter, which averaged about 14.046 million head over that period. Previously, the number had increased; it was 12.453 million in 1985. Cattle on feed (for slaughter) numbered about 14.121 million on 1 January 2012, i.e. about 15.5% of the estimated inventory of 90.8 million US cattle (including calves) on that date. Of the 14.121 million, US cattle on feed (for slaughter) in operations with 1000 head or more were estimated to number 11.9 million. Cattle feedlots in this size category correspond to the regulatory definition of \"large\" concentrated animal feeding operations (CAFOs) for cattle other than mature dairy cows or veal calves. Significant numbers of dairy, as well as beef cattle, are confined in CAFOs, defined as \"new and existing operations which stable or confine and feed or maintain for a total of 45 days or more in any 12-month period more than the number of animals specified\" where \"crops, vegetation, forage growth, or post-harvest residues are not sustained in the normal growing season over any portion of the lot or facility.\" They may be designated as small, medium and large. Such designation of cattle CAFOs is according to cattle type (mature dairy cows, veal calves or other) and cattle numbers, but medium CAFOs are so designated only if they meet certain discharge criteria, and small CAFOs are designated only on a case-by-case basis.\n\nA CAFO that discharges pollutants is required to obtain a permit, which requires a plan to manage nutrient runoff, manure, chemicals, contaminants, and other wastewater pursuant to the US Clean Water Act. The regulations involving CAFO permitting have been extensively litigated.\nCommonly, CAFO wastewater and manure nutrients are applied to land at agronomic rates for use by forages or crops, and it is often assumed that various constituents of wastewater and manure, e.g. organic contaminants and pathogens, will be retained, inactivated or degraded on the land with application at such rates; however, additional evidence is needed to test reliability of such assumptions\n. Concerns raised by opponents of CAFOs have included risks of contaminated water due to feedlot runoff, soil erosion, human and animal exposure to toxic chemicals, development of antibiotic resistant bacteria and an increase in ''E. coli'' contamination. While research suggests some of these impacts can be mitigated by developing wastewater treatment systems and planting cover crops in larger setback zones, the Union of Concerned Scientists released a report in 2008 concluding that CAFOs are generally unsustainable and externalize costs.\n\nAn estimated 935,000 cattle operations were operating in the USA in 2010. In 2001, the US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) tallied 5,990 cattle CAFOs then regulated, consisting of beef (2,200), dairy (3,150), heifer (620) and veal operations (20). Since that time, the EPA has established CAFOs as an enforcement priority. EPA enforcement highlights for fiscal year 2010 indicated enforcement actions against 12 cattle CAFOs for violations that included failures to obtain a permit, failures to meet the terms of a permit, and discharges of contaminated water.\n\nCattle grazing in a high-elevation environment at the Big Pasture Plateau, Slovenia\n\nGrazing by cattle at low intensities can create a favourable environment for native herbs and forbs; in many world regions, though, cattle are reducing biodiversity due to overgrazing. A survey of refuge managers on 123 National Wildlife Refuges in the US tallied 86 species of wildlife considered positively affected and 82 considered negatively affected by refuge cattle grazing or haying. Proper management of pastures, notably managed intensive rotational grazing and grazing at low intensities can lead to less use of fossil fuel energy, increased recapture of carbon dioxide, fewer ammonia emissions into the atmosphere, reduced soil erosion, better air quality, and less water pollution.\n\nSome microbes in the cattle gut carry out anaerobic process known as methanogenesis, which produces methane. Cattle and other livestock emit about 80 to 93 Tg of methane per year, accounting for an estimated 37% of anthropogenic methane emissions, and additional methane is produced by anaerobic fermentation of manure in manure lagoons and other manure storage structures. The 100-year global warming potential of methane, including effects on ozone and stratospheric water vapor, is 25 times as great as that of carbon dioxide. Methane's effect on global warming is correlated with changes in atmospheric methane content, not with emissions. The net change in atmospheric methane content was recently about 1 Tg per year, and in some recent years there has been no increase in atmospheric methane content. Mitigation options for reducing methane emission from ruminant enteric fermentation include genetic selection, immunization, rumen defaunation, diet modification and grazing management, among others. While cattle fed forage actually produce more methane than grain-fed cattle, the increase may be offset by the increased carbon recapture of pastures, which recapture three times the CO2 of cropland used for grain.\n" " Health " "\nThe veterinary discipline dealing with cattle and cattle diseases (bovine veterinary) is called buiatrics. Veterinarians and professionals working on cattle health issues are pooled in the World Association for Buiatrics, founded in 1960. National associations and affiliates also exist.\n\nCattle diseases were in the center of attention in the 1980s and 1990s when the Bovine spongiform encephalopathy (BSE), also known as mad cow disease, was of concern. Cattle might catch and develop various other diseases, like blackleg, bluetongue, foot rot too.\n\nIn most states, as cattle health is not only a veterinarian issue, but also a public health issue, public health and food safety standards and farming regulations directly affect the daily work of farmers who keep cattle. However, said rules change frequently and are often debated. For instance, in the U.K., it was proposed in 2011 that milk from tuberculosis-infected cattle should be allowed to enter the food chain. Internal food safety regulations might affect a country's trade policy as well. For example, the United States has just reviewed its beef import rules according to the \"mad cow standards\"; while Mexico forbids the entry of cattle who are older than 30 months.\n\nCow urine is commonly used in India for internal medical purposes. It is distilled and then consumed by patients seeking treatment for a wide variety of illnesses. At present, no conclusive medical evidence shows this has any effect. However, an Indian medicine containing cow urine has already obtained U.S. patents.\n\nDigital dermatitis is caused by the bacteria from the genus Treponema. It differs from foot rot and can appear under unsanitary conditions such as poor hygiene or inadequate hoof trimming, among other causes. It primarily affects dairy cattle and has been known to lower the quantity of milk produced, however the milk quality remains unaffected. Cattle are also susceptible to ringworm caused by the fungus, ''Trichophyton verrucosum'', a contagious skin disease which may be transferred to humans exposed to infected cows.\n\n''Mycobacterium vaccae'' is a non pathogenic, possibly even beneficial bacteria, that is seen naturally in soil; that was first isolated from cow dung.\n\n=== Effect of high stocking density ===\n\nStocking density refers to the number of animals within a specified area. When stocking density reaches high levels, the behavioural needs of the animals may not be met. This can negatively influence health, welfare and production performance.\n\nThe effect of overstocking in cows can have a negative effect on milk production and reproduction rates which are two very important traits for dairy farmers. Overcrowding of cows in barns has been found to reduced feeding, resting and rumination. Although they consume the same amount of dry matter within the span of a day, they consume the food at a much more rapid rate, and this behaviour in cows can lead to further complications. The feeding behaviour of cows during their post-milking period is very important as it has been proven that the longer animals can eat after milking, the longer they will be standing up and therefore causing less contamination to the teat ends. This is necessary to reduce the risk of mastitis as infection has been shown to increase the chances of embryonic loss. Sufficient rest is important for dairy cows because it is during this period that their resting blood flow increases up to 50%, this is directly proportionate to milk production. Each additional hour of rest can be seen to translate to 2 to 3.5 more pounds of milk per cow daily. Stocking densities of anything over 120% have been shown to decrease the amount of time cows spend lying down.\n\nCortisol is an important stress hormone; its plasma concentrations increase greatly when subjected to high levels of stress. Increased concentration levels of cortisol have been associated with significant increases in gonadotrophin levels and lowered progestin levels. Reduction of stress is important in the reproductive state of cows as an increase in gonadotrophin and lowered progesterone levels may impinge on the ovulatory and lutenization process and to reduce the chances of successful implantation. A high cortisol level will also stimulate the degradation of fats and proteins which may make it difficult for the animal to sustain its pregnancy if implanted successfully.\n" "Oxen" "\n\nDraft Zebus in Mumbai, Maharashtra, India\n'''Oxen''' (singular '''ox''') are cattle trained as draft animals. Often they are adult, castrated males of larger breeds, although females and bulls are also used in some areas. Usually, an ox is over four years old due to the need for training and to allow it to grow to full size. Oxen are used for plowing, transport, hauling cargo, grain-grinding by trampling or by powering machines, irrigation by powering pumps, and wagon drawing. Oxen were commonly used to skid logs in forests, and sometimes still are, in low-impact, select-cut logging. Oxen are most often used in teams of two, paired, for light work such as carting, with additional pairs added when more power is required, sometimes up to a total of 20 or more.\nOxen used in Plowing\nAn ox is a mature bovine which has learned to respond appropriately to a teamster's signals. These signals are given by verbal commands or by noise (whip cracks). Verbal commands vary according to dialect and local tradition. In one tradition in North America, the commands are:\n* \"Back up\": go backwards\n* \"Gee\": turn right\n* \"Get up\": walk forward\n* \"Haw\": turn left\n* \"Whoa\": stop\nRiding an ox in Hova, Sweden\nOxen can pull harder and longer than horses. Though not as fast as horses, they are less prone to injury because they are more sure-footed.\n\nMany oxen are used worldwide, especially in developing countries. About 11.3 million draft oxen are used in sub-Saharan Africa. In India, the number of draft cattle in 1998 was estimated at 65.7 million head. About half the world's crop production is thought to depend on land preparation (such as plowing) made possible by animal traction.\nThe \"Ure-Ox\" (Aurochs) by Edward Topsell, 1658\n" " Religion, traditions and folklore " "\n\n=== Hindu tradition ===\n\nIn Hinduism, the cow is a symbol of wealth, strength, abundance, selfless giving and a full Earthly life.\nCattle are venerated within the Hindu religion of India. In the Vedic period they were a symbol of plenty and were frequently slaughtered. In later times they gradually acquired their present status. According to the Mahabharata they are to be treated with the same respect 'as one's mother'. In the middle of the first millennium, the consumption of beef began to be disfavoured by lawgivers. Although there has never been any cow-goddesses or temples dedicated to them, cows appear in numerous stories from the Vedas and Puranas. The deity Krishna was brought up in a family of cowherders, and given the name Govinda (protector of the cows). Also, Shiva is traditionally said to ride on the back of a bull named Nandi.\n\nMilk and milk products were used in Vedic rituals. In the postvedic period products of the cow \u2013 milk, curd, ghee, but also cow dung and urine (gomutra), or the combination of these five (panchagavya) \u2013 began to assume an increasingly important role in ritual purification and expiation.\n\nVeneration of the cow has become a symbol of the identity of Hindus as a community, especially since the end of the 19th century. Slaughter of cows (including oxen, bulls and calves) is forbidden by law in several states of the Indian Union. McDonald's outlets in India do not serve any beef burgers. In Maharaja Ranjit Singh's empire of the early 19th century, the killing of a cow was punishable by death.\n\n=== Other traditions ===\nLegend of the founding of Durham Cathedral is that monks carrying the body of Saint Cuthbert were led to the location by a milk maid who had lost her dun cow, which was found resting on the spot.\n An idealized depiction of girl cow herders in 19th-century Norway by Knud Bergslien.\n* The Evangelist St. Luke is depicted as an ox in Christian art.\n* In Judaism, as described in , the ashes of a sacrificed unblemished red heifer that has never been yoked can be used for ritual purification of people who came into contact with a corpse.\n* The ox is one of the 12-year cycle of animals which appear in the Chinese zodiac related to the Chinese calendar. See: Ox (Zodiac).\n* The constellation Taurus represents a bull.\n* An apocryphal story has it that a cow started the Great Chicago Fire by kicking over a kerosene lamp. Michael Ahern, the reporter who created the cow story, admitted in 1893 that he had fabricated it for more colorful copy.\n* On 18 February 1930, Elm Farm Ollie became the first cow to fly in an airplane and also the first cow to be milked in an airplane.\n* The first known law requiring branding in North America was enacted on 5 February 1644, by Connecticut. It said that all cattle and pigs had to have a registered brand or earmark by 1 May 1644.\n* The is a traditional toy from the Aizu region of Japan that is thought to ward off illness.\n* The case of ''Sherwood v. Walker''\u2014involving a supposedly barren heifer that was actually pregnant\u2014-first enunciated the concept of mutual mistake as a means of destroying the meeting of the minds in contract law. \n* The Fulani of West Africa are the world's largest nomadic cattle-herders.\n* The Maasai tribe of East Africa traditionally believe their god Engai entitled them to divine rights to the ownership of all cattle on earth.\n" " In heraldry " "\nCattle are typically represented in heraldry by the '''bull'''.\n\n\nFile:Mecklenburg Arms.svg|Arms of Mecklenburg region, Germany\nFile:Turin coat of arms.svg|Arms of Turin, Italy\nFile:Coat of arms of Kaunas.svg|Arms of Kaunas, Lithuania\nFile:POL Turek COA PioM.svg|Arms of Turek, Poland\nFile:POL Bielsk Podlaski COA.svg|Arms of Bielsk Podlaski, Poland\nFile:Azr.png|Arms of the Azores\n\n" " Population " "For 2013, the FAO estimated global cattle numbers at 1.47 billion.

"Celebrity doll" "Introduction" "A '''celebrity doll''' is a doll modelled after a celebrity.\n\nCelebrity dolls have been in production for a very long time. In the 1840s, several famous ballerinas were featured as paper dolls. Also in the 19th century, various military heroes were portrayed as dolls/figures. With the advent of silent films, dolls of film stars were created. The John Bunny doll (a silent film star) was one of the first produced in 1914 by Louis Amberg & Sons. The first Charlie Chaplin doll was produced in 1915. The composition Baby Peggy doll was a huge success in 1923, also produced by the Amberg company. The Shirley Temple doll by Ideal was a phenomenon in the 1930s, and would go on to be one of the most successful celebrity dolls. First produced in 1934, millions of the composition Shirley dolls were produced (and, variations of the Shirley doll are being produced to this day, generally in porcelain or vinyl). After Shirley, companies like Madame Alexander and Ideal produced many different celebrity dolls, including Sonja Henie, Jane Withers and Deanna Durbin. Celebrity dolls still remain popular today, especially given the cult of celebrity that has developed in the 1980s-first decade of the 21st century. Because of the wide collecting audience for these dolls and their appeal as a cross-over collectible in many instances, some collectors also believe that the dolls have the possibility of appreciating in value in the future.\n\nThe best-selling celebrity dolls in history are The Spice Girls dolls, made in 1997, selling over eleven million, Other million selling dolls of recent years include the Britney Spears doll, made in 1999, the New Kids on the Block dolls (selling over two million dolls) and Christina Aguilera doll (selling over three million dolls). Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen dolls were also popular from 1999-2004. Dolls of Lindsay Lohan, Hilary Duff and Destiny's Child were being made in 2005-2006. In 2007-2009 dolls based on characters in Disney Channel movies and TV series, such as, ''High School Musical'', ''Hannah Montana'', ''The Cheetah Girls'', ''Camp Rock'', and ''Wizards of Waverly Place'' were released.

Its local government area is the City of Kingston. At the 2011 Census, Clarinda had a population of 7,461.\n" "History" "\nThe area was once coastal heathland and first occupied by John O'Shannessy during the early 1840s, who took a squatting licence to encompass a block, around suburbs known today as Clarinda, Clayton South, Dingley and Heatherton. O\u2019Shannessy later passed on his licence to John and Richard King, in 1846, which saw the transformation of the area.\n\nIn May 1905, Brighton Council advised it had received an offer from the Melbourne Metropolitan Board of Works that it was prepared to lay an extension of the Glenhuntly Road water main into Clarinda Road with the view of opening up 'little populated localities'. \n\nIn June 1905, Moorabbin Council called for estimates to form and gravel 20 chains of Clarinda Road from Bunny Road, requesting the owners in the meantime to clear off 'furze'. \n\nThe 6 July 1907 edition of the Brighton Southern Cross newspaper, carried an advertisement from a florist named Curtis seeking an employee to work in Clarinda Road, Bald Hills, Clayton.\n\nThe area was originally called Bald Hills but because there were many places of the same name, it was changed to Bayview then later Clarinda.\n\nThe Moorabbin Council voted to support the construction of Clarinda Road at a meeting in April 1908. It noted it was the only through road between Heatherton and Bald Hills. It was proposed to source gravel for the project from nearby Robertson's Estate. Ratepayers had agreed to work valued at \u00a330 and had already undertaken preparatory work themselves. In July the council agreed with an engineer's report recommending Clarinda Road be gravelled for a distance of four chains, and concurred the area should then be 'left alone for a little while'.\n\nClarinda Post Office opened on 13 September 1911 and closed in 1971. When the suburb was developed it reopened in 1984.\n\nClarinda is now a very multicutural suburb with existing communities from India, Greece, Cambodia, Sri Lanka and Vietnam.\n" "Education" "* Clarinda Primary School\n* St. Andrew's Catholic Primary School\n* Heatherton Christian College\n" "Transport" "* Clarinda is accessible by a number of Metlink bus routes servicing the area.\n" "References" "\n" "External links" "* Australian Places - Clarinda\n\n\n\n"

"Coven (film)" "Introduction" "\n\n\n'''''Coven''''' is a 1997 black and white direct-to-video horror short film directed by Mark Borchardt. The making of the film was documented in the 1999 award-winning independent film ''American Movie''. It was shot with local talent around Milwaukee.\n" "Sales and distribution" "\n''Coven'' was largely funded by Mark's uncle Bill Borchardt's savings with the understanding that Mark must sell 3,000 copies in order for Bill to make his money back. However, Bill died shortly after the release of ''Coven''. Bill, along with Mark and an assortment of friends and neighbors, star in the film. The movie was sold through his website www.northwestproductions.com (now defunct). By 2004, Borchardt sold 5,100 copies of \"Coven\" at $14.95.\n" "Plot summary" "The film introduces Mike (Borchardt) as a writer struggling with a lack of artistic productivity. To deal with the pressures he feels from within and without, he escalates his abuse of alcohol. One day when faced with overwhelming deadlines, he takes a large quantity of pills with alcohol resulting in an overdose and hospitalization. When Steve (Tom Schimmels) takes notice of Mike's increasing volatility and isolation, he confronts the defensive writer. Steve shows genuine concern for his friend's self-destructive behavior and intervenes. The film suggests by lack of others at the intervention that Steve may be the only friend Mike has left. Steve suggests a support group with whom he has been affiliated and after gaining some perspective, Mike joins them. After becoming a part of the group, he comes to realize that the group has a deeper occult agenda and use extreme, sometimes supernatural, tactics to \"help\" new members remain clean and sober.\n" "Critical reception" "Critical reception for ''Coven'' has been negative and the film holds a rating of 38% on Rotten Tomatoes, based on 8 reviews.\n" "In popular culture" "''Coven'' established Borchardt as an amateur filmmaker. ''American Movie'' helped Mark get noticed to a broader audience, which led to appearances (along with co-producer Mike Schank) in television programs like ''Family Guy'', and ''Greg the Bunny'', in which they parody scenes from the movie.\n" "References" "\n" "External links" "*\n\n\n\n\n\n"
"Crusader Rabbit" "Introduction" "\n\n\n\n\n'''''Crusader Rabbit''''' is the first animated series produced specifically for television. The concept was test marketed in 1948, while the initial episode\u2014''Crusader vs. the State of Texas''\u2014aired on KNBH (now KNBC) in Los Angeles on August 1, 1949.\n" "Production history" "The concept of an animated series made for television came from animator Alex Anderson, who worked for Terrytoons Studios. Terrytoons turned down Anderson's proposed series, preferring to remain in theatrical film animation. Consequently, Anderson approached Jay Ward to create a partnership\u2014Anderson being in charge of production and Ward arranging financing. Ward became business manager and producer, joining with Anderson to form \"Television Arts Productions\" in 1947. They tried to sell the series (initially presented as part of a proposed series, ''The Comic Strips of Television'', which featured an early incarnation of ''Dudley Do-Right'') to the NBC television network, with Jerry Fairbanks as the network's \"supervising producer\". NBC did not telecast ''Crusader Rabbit'' on their network, but allowed Fairbanks to sell the series in national syndication, with many NBC affiliates (including New York and Los Angeles) picking it up for local showings. WNBC-TV in New York continued to show the original ''Crusader Rabbit'' episodes from 1950 through 1967, and some stations used the program as late as the 1970s.\n\nThe original series employed limited animation, appearing almost as narrated storyboards with frequent cuts and minor movement by the characters, much in the style of another early NBC \"animation\" program ''Tele-Comics''. This was due to the limited budget that producers Jay Ward and Alex Anderson worked with to film the series. In 1948 Clarence E. Wheeler created the original opening and closing theme for the animated series, adapting and arranging the folk melodies The Trail to Mexico (known on cue sheets as \"Rabbit Fanfare\") and Ten Little Indians (known as \"Main Title Rabbit\").\n\nEach program began with a title sequence of a mounted knight galloping across the screen. The episodes then featured a short, usually satirical, adventure in the form of a movie serial, ending with a cliffhanger.\n\n''Crusader Rabbit'' was syndicated from 1950 to 1952, totaling 195 episodes (divided into ten \"crusades\"), and then re-aired for many years. It featured Crusader Rabbit, his companion Ragland T. Tiger (Rags), and their occasional nemesis \u2013 Dudley Nightshade (called Ill-regard Beauregard in a few episodes), and his sidekick Bilious Green. Some episodes featured Crusader & Rags's friends Garfield the Groundhog and/or Arson & Sterno (a two-headed dragon). Ragland Tiger's name came from the jazz tune \"Tiger Rag\" his middle initial \"T\" stands for The (as in Rags The Tiger), while Dudley Nightshade's name was a play on the poisonous plant, \"deadly nightshade\". As a running gag, another character would ask Rags what the \"T\" stood for, to which he'd reply, \"Larry. My father couldn't spell!\"\n\nThe series was revived and 13 new \"crusades\" (totaling 260 color episodes) were produced in 1956 by Shull Bonsall's Capital Enterprises. Bonsall purchased Television Arts Productions and gained the rights to ''Crusader Rabbit'', during a protracted legal battle between Jay Ward, Alex Anderson, Jerry Fairbanks and the NBC network, over ownership of the series. Animation was provided by Bonsall's Creston Studios, also known as TV Spots, Inc., supervised by Bob Ganon and Gerald Ray. The new series was not seen until early 1959.\n\nThe revived (2nd) series used an open/close theme from the British \"Impress\" production music library licensed by Emil Ascher publishing of New York. It was titled \"Juggins\" composed by Van Phillips (professional name of Alexander Van Cleve Phillips).\n\nLucille Bliss provided the voice of Crusader Rabbit in the original series; she was replaced by Ge Ge Pearson in the revived series. Vern Louden played Rags in both. Dudley Nightshade was voiced by Russ Coughlan, and narration was by Roy Whaley.\n" "Legacy" "The success of ''Crusader Rabbit'' inspired many more television cartoon character packages. Jay Ward would later produce ''The Rocky and Bullwinkle Show''. In 1985, Rhino Entertainment released the first two volumes of ''Crusader Rabbit'' in a planned home-video release of all the original episodes. However, 20th Century Fox claimed the distribution rights by their acquisition of previous owner Metromedia Producers Corporation. No further video releases of ''Crusader Rabbit'' have been produced.\n" "In popular culture" "*There were two Dell Publishing comic books featuring ''Crusader Rabbit'' and Rags.\n" "First series" "The first series aired from 1950 to 1952 through syndication, with 195 episodes produced.\n\n===Episodes===\n*Crusader vs. the State of Texas (15 chapters)\n*Crusader vs. the Pirates (20 chapters)\n*Crusader and the Rajah of Rinsewater (20 chapters)\n*Crusader and the Schmohawk Indians (15 chapters)\n*Crusader and the Great Horse Mystery (20 chapters)\n*Crusader and the Circus (10 chapters)\n*Crusader in the Tenth Century (30 chapters)\n*Crusader and the Mad Hollywood Scientist (15 chapters)\n*Crusader and the Leprechauns (25 chapters)\n*Crusader and the Showboat (25 chapters)\n\n===Production staff===\n*Executive Producer: Jerry Fairbanks\n*Producers: Jay Ward, Alex Anderson\n*Director: Alex Anderson\n*Story: Alex Anderson, Joe Curtin, Hal Goodman, Arthur North, Lloyd Turner\n*Artists: Alex Anderson, Bob Bastian, Bob Bemiller, Chuck Fusion, Randy Grochoski, Ed King, Ted Martine, Bob Mills, Lee Mishkin, Grim Natwick, Russ Sholl, Jim Scott, John Sparey, Dean Spille, Spaulding White, Volney White\n*Camera: Bob Oleson, Jack Williams\n*Music: Clarence E.

"Dennis Avoth" "Introduction" "\n\n'''Dennis Avoth''' (born 5 October 1947) is a retired Cardiff-born heavyweight boxer. Avoth was a promising amateur boxer who turned professional in 1967. He held the Welsh Heavyweight Championship title from 1971 to 1973. He is the brother of Eddie Avoth, who was also a boxer and who became British, and Commonwealth Light-heavyweight champion, and European Light-heavyweight challenger.\n" "Boxing career" "Avoth boxed out of the Victoria Park boxing club as a youth, and whilst still a teenager he won the Welsh Amateur Boxing Association title, beating Del Phillips, who at 6\u00a0ft 5ins was seven inches taller than Avoth. The Welsh title allowed Avoth to enter the European championships, but was forced to retire after a torn rib ligament.\n\nAvoth turned professional in 1967 and like Eddie Avoth, his older brother before him, he joined the stable of Merthyr based trainer, Eddie Thomas. Avoth's first professional bout was against London-based fighter Doyley Brown at Grosvenor House in Mayfair, an undercard to a Ken Buchanan match. Avoth stopped his opponent via technical knockout in the fifth of the six round fight. This was the first in a string of seven unbeaten fights, including a victory over Paul Brown at the National Sporting Club in January 1968. Despite this promising start, his allusions of following his brother as a major contender were broken by four straight loses.\n\nAvoth was back to winning ways in the first half of 1969, remaining unbeaten in six fights, though all were through points decision. His run was broken in May when he faced future British heavyweight champion Bunny Johnson at the Midlands Sporting Club in Solihull. The eight round fight went the full distance, with the bout being awarded to Johnson. This was followed by a draw against his amateur title opponent Del Phillips, before Avoth again faced a future British heavyweight champion, Danny McAlinden. The fight against McAlinden was part of a national heavyweight competition held in Mayfair, London for a prize of \u00a31,000. The eight man knockout contest was scheduled for three rounds per bout and Avoth faced Manchester-based fighter Obe Hepburn in the quarter finals. After beating Hepburn on points, he then beat Billy Wynter by the same decision in the semi-final. The other semi-final was between McAlinden and another future champion, Richard Dunn. McAlinden knocked out Dunn in the first round, and then managed to stop Avoth in the final again in the first round, but this time via technical knockout. Avoth fought once more in 1969, a loss to Central Area champion, Billy Aird, before readjusting his sights on a new challenge, the Welsh heavyweight title, held by North Walian Carl Gizzi.\n\n1970 began with mixed results for Avoth. He lost to Charlie White, a fighter he had faced four times previously as a professional, before he recorded a win over Terry Feeley at the National Sporting Club. He then lost to Cliff Field before a Wales heavyweight title eliminator with Del Phillips was arranged. The fight was arranged as the top billing at Swansea's Top Rank Suite on 22 June 1970. The night started poorly for the Avoth family when younger brother Leslie was beaten by Santos Martins on the undercard, and Avoth's ambitions to become Welsh heavyweight were dented after Phillips was given the decision by referee Adrian Morgan after the match went the full ten rounds. Avoth finished 1970 with another two losses; to Peter Boddington in London and then to Bunny Johnson in Aberavon, both on points decision.\n\nIn 1971, and now managed by his father Jack, Avoth got his shot at the Welsh heavyweight title, which was still held by Carl Gizzi and had now been undefended in the six years since Gizzi won the title. The title fight was taken out of Wales and was staged at the National Sporting Club in London. The fight went the full ten rounds and Avoth was given the decision, making him the new Wales heavyweight champion. 1971 ended with two more wins, over Guinea Roger and Brian Jewitt; but 1972 began with two loses, which included the first time he had ever lost a professional fight by knockout when Roger Tighe stopped him in the sixth round of an eight-round contest. In April 1972, Avoth defended his Welsh title for the first time when he again faced Del Phillips. The two met in Swansea and again the fight went the distance, but this time referee Adrian Morgan gave the fight to Avoth. Avoth defended his title just once more when he beat Gene Innocent in Swansea in June 1973. Avoth was to fight just once more, a home bout in Sophia Gardens Pavilion in his home town of Cardiff. His challenger, Phil Matthew, knocked Avoth out in the first round, and Avoth retired from the sport soon after.\n" "Professional boxing record" "\n\n'''22 Wins''' (4 knockouts, 18 decisions), '''20 Losses''' (6 knockouts, 14 decisions), '''3 Draws''' \n\n'''Result'''\n'''Record'''\n'''Opponent'''\n'''Type'''\n'''Round'''\n'''Date'''\n'''Location'''\n'''Notes'''\n\nLoss\n\n Phil Matthews\nKO\n1\n01/08/1973\n Sophia Gardens Pavilion, Cardiff, United Kingdom\n\n\nWin\n\n Gene Innocent\nPTS\n10\n27/06/1973\n Top Rank Suite, Swansea, United Kingdom\n\n\nLoss\n\n Eddie Neilson\nPTS\n8\n30/04/1973\n National Sporting Club, Piccadilly, London, United Kingdom\n\n\nLoss\n\n Tim \"Fire\" Wood\nPTS\n8\n19/04/1973\n Wolverhampton Civic Hall, Wolverhampton, United Kingdom\n\n\nWin\n\n Guinea Roger\nPTS\n8\n05/02/1973\n Top Rank Suite, Swansea, United Kingdom\n\n\nLoss\n\n Eddie Nielson\nPTS\n8\n27/11/1972\n National Sporting Club, Piccadilly, London, United Kingdom\n\n\nLoss\n\n Frank \"The Tank\" Carpenter\nPTS\n8\n24/10/1972\n Bull Ring Sporting Club, Birmingham, United Kingdom\n\n\nLoss\n\n Frank \"The Tank\" Carpenter\nPTS\n8\n27/06/1972\n Villa Park, Birmingham, United Kingdom\n\n\nWin\n\n Del Phillips\nPTS\n10\n24/04/1972\n Swansea Cwmfelin, Swansea, United Kingdom\n\n\nLoss\n\n Les \"Is More\" Stevens\nTKO\n6\n27/03/1972\n Top Rank Suite, Reading, United Kingdom\n\n\nLoss\n\n Roger Tighe\nKO\n6\n14/02/1972\n National Sporting Club, Piccadilly, London, United Kingdom\n\n\nWin\n\n Brian Jewitt\nPTS\n8\n29/11/1971\n West of England Sporting Club, Bristol, United Kingdom\n\n\nWin\n\n Guinea Roger\nTKO\n5\n09/11/1971\n Wolverhampton, United Kingdom\n\n\nWin\n\n Carl Gizzi\nPTS\n10\n11/10/1971\n Cafe Royal, Piccadilly, London, United Kingdom\n\n\nWin\n\n Bunny Johnson\nPTS\n8\n22/09/1971\n Midlands Sporting Club, Solihull, United Kingdom\n\n\nWin\n\n Brian \"City\" Hall\nPTS\n6\n05/07/1971\n Grosvenor House, Mayfair, London, United Kingdom\n\n\nLoss\n\n Bunny Johnson\nPTS\n10\n19/10/1970\n Aberavon, United Kingdom\n\n\nLoss\n\n Peter Boddington\nPTS\n8\n08/09/1970\n Empire Pool, Wembley, London, United Kingdom\n\n\nLoss\n\n Del Phillips\nPTS\n10\n22/06/1970\n Swansea, United Kingdom\n\n\nLoss\n\n Cliff Field\nTKO\n7\n09/03/1970\n Centre Hotel, Bloomsbury, London, United Kingdom\n\n\nWin\n\n Terry Feeley\nTKO\n4\n10/02/1970\n National Sporting Club, Piccadilly, London, United Kingdom\n\n\nLoss\n\n Charlie \"Wizzer\" White\nPTS\n8\n12/01/1970\n Mayfair Sporting Club, Mayfair, London, United Kingdom\n\n\nLoss\n\n Billy Aird\nPTS\n6\n29/09/1969\n National Sporting Club, Piccadilly, London, United Kingdom\n\n\nLoss\n\n Danny McAlinden\nTKO\n1\n07/07/1969\n Mayfair, London, United Kingdom\n\n\nWin\n\n Billy Wynter\nPTS\n3\n07/07/1969\n Mayfair, London, United Kingdom\n\n\nWin\n\n Obe Hepburn\nPTS\n3\n07/07/1969\n Mayfair, London, United Kingdom\n\n\nDraw\n\n Del Phillips\nPTS\n8\n02/07/1969\n Cardiff, United Kingdom\n\n\nLoss\n\n Bunny Johnson\nPTS\n8\n07/05/1969\n Midlands Sporting Club, Solihull, United Kingdom\n\n\nWin\n\n Jack Cotes\nPTS\n6\n28/04/1969\n Grosvenor House, Mayfair, London, United Kingdom\n\n\nWin\n\n George Dulaire\nPTS\n6\n24/03/1969\n National Sporting Club, Mayfair, London, United Kingdom\n\n\nWin\n\n Jack Cotes\nPTS\n6\n10/03/1969\n Colston Hall, Bristol, United Kingdom\n\n\nDraw\n\n Obe Hepburn\nPTS\n8\n24/02/1969\n National Sporting Club, Piccadilly, London, United Kingdom\n\n\nWin\n\n George Dulaire\nPTS\n8\n03/02/1969\n Cafe Royal, Piccadilly, London, United Kingdom\n\n\nWin\n\n Charlie \"Wizzer\" White\nPTS\n8\n23/01/1969\n Dunstable, United Kingdom\n\n\nLoss\n\n Charlie \"Wizzer\" White\nPTS\n6\n27/11/1968\n Sophia Gardens Cricket Ground, Cardiff, United Kingdom\n\n\nLoss\n\n \"Crown\" Vic Moore\nTKO\n7\n12/05/1968\n Grosvenor House, Mayfair, London, United Kingdom\n\n\nLoss\n\n Terry Daly\nPTS\n6\n09/04/1968\n Empire Pool, Wembley, London, United Kingdom\n\n\nLoss\n\n Charlie \"Wizzer\" White\nPTS\n8\n27/02/1968\n Drill Hall, Northampton, United Kingdom\n\n\nWin\n\n Terry Feeley\nPTS\n6\n12/02/1968\n Grosvenor House, Mayfair, London, United Kingdom\n\n\nWin\n\n Paul \"Cleveland\" Brown\nPTS\n8\n22/01/1968\n National Sporting Club, Piccadilly, London, United Kingdom\n\n\nWin\n\n Charlie \"Wizzer\" White\nPTS\n6\n11/12/1967\n Raynors Sporting Club, Leicester, United Kingdom\n\n\nWin\n\n \"Boxing\" Bert Johnson\nPTS\n6\n28/11/1967\n Afan Lido, Aberavon, United Kingdom\n\n\nWin\n\n Paul \"Cleveland\" Brown\nTKO\n5\n22/10/1967\n Hotel Metropole Sporting Club, Brighton, United Kingdom\n\n\nWin\n\n Barry Rodney\nPTS\n6\n09/10/1967\n Raynors Sporting Club, Leicester, United Kingdom\n\n\nWin\n\n Doyley Brown\nTKO\n5\n14/09/1967\n Grosvenor House, Mayfair, London, United Kingdom\n\n\n" "References" "\n" "Bibliography" "* \n" "External links" "* \n\n\n\n\n\n\n"

She also appeared on the cover-art of several pop-music vinyl record albums, including Les Baxter's ''Jewels of the Sea'', ''Sea of Dreams'' by Nelson Riddle, Marty Paich's ''Jazz For Relaxation'', ''Chile con Cugie'' by Xavier Cugat, the Luxuriously Slow Moods of The Cesana Strings album \"Sheer Ecstasy\", and the R.C.A.

She occasionally performed this dance accompanied by some of her better students to the accompaniment of Middle-Eastern music in public places in and around Los Angeles. Empey founded ''Perfumes of Araby'', one of the first Middle-Eastern dance companies in the United States.

"Dick McDonough" "Introduction" "\n\n'''Richard''' \"'''Dick'''\" '''McDonough''' (1904 \u2013 May 25, 1938) was an American jazz guitarist and banjoist. He was best known for his duets with guitarist Carl Kress.\n\nMcDonough began playing banjo and mandolin in high school. An athlete, he played left-handed because, according to McDonough, that was how he held his hockey stick. At Georgetown University, he performed professionally at weekend dances and two years later started a band. He attended Columbia Law School after college and while there played with bands in New York City. McDonough played with Red Nichols in 1927 as a banjoist, and soon after played with Paul Whiteman. He began studying the guitar, and eventually was in demand for session work, recording with the Dorsey Brothers, Red Nichols, and Miff Mole.

"Dog" "Introduction" "\n\n\n\n\nMontage showing the morphological variation of the dog.\n\nThe '''domestic dog''' (''Canis lupus familiaris'' or ''Canis familiaris'') is a member of genus ''Canis'' (canines) that forms part of the wolf-like canids, and is the most widely abundant carnivore. The dog and the extant gray wolf are sister taxa, with modern wolves not closely related to the wolves that were first domesticated. The dog was the first domesticated species and has been selectively bred over millennia for various behaviors, sensory capabilities, and physical attributes.\n\nTheir long association with humans has led dogs to be uniquely attuned to human behavior and they are able to thrive on a starch-rich diet that would be inadequate for other canid species. Dogs vary widely in shape, size and colours. Dogs perform many roles for people, such as hunting, herding, pulling loads, protection, assisting police and military, companionship and, more recently, aiding handicapped individuals. This influence on human society has given them the sobriquet \"man's best friend\".\n" "Etymology" "The term \"domestic dog\" is generally used for both domesticated and feral varieties. The English word ''dog'' comes from Middle English ''dogge'', from Old English ''docga'', a \"powerful dog breed\". The term may possibly derive from Proto-Germanic ''*dukk\u014dn'', represented in Old English ''finger-docce'' (\"finger-muscle\"). The word also shows the familiar petname diminutive ''-ga'' also seen in ''frogga'' \"frog\", ''picga'' \"pig\", ''stagga'' \"stag\", ''wicga'' \"beetle, worm\", among others. The term ''dog'' may ultimately derive from the earliest layer of Proto-Indo-European vocabulary.\n\nIn 14th-century England, ''hound'' (from ) was the general word for all domestic canines, and ''dog'' referred to a subtype of hound, a group including the mastiff. It is believed this \"dog\" type was so common, it eventually became the prototype of the category \"hound\". By the 16th century, ''dog'' had become the general word, and ''hound'' had begun to refer only to types used for hunting. The word \"hound\" is ultimately derived from the Proto-Indo-European word ''*kwon-'', \"dog\". This semantic shift may be compared to in German, where the corresponding words Dogge and Hund kept their original meanings.\n\nA male canine is referred to as a dog, while a female is called a bitch. The father of a litter is called the ''sire'', and the mother is called the ''dam''. (Middle English ''bicche'', from Old English ''bicce'', ultimately from Old Norse ''bikkja'') The process of birth is whelping, from the Old English word ''hwelp''; the modern English word \"whelp\" is an alternate term for puppy. A litter refers to the multiple offspring at one birth which are called puppies or pups from the French ''poup\u00e9e,'' \"doll\", which has mostly replaced the older term \"whelp\".\n" "Terminology" "*The term ''dog'' typically is applied both to the species (or subspecies) as a whole, and any adult male member of the same.\n*An adult female is a ''bitch''. In some countries, especially in North America, ''dog'' is used instead due to the vulgar connotation of ''bitch''.\n*An adult male capable of reproduction is a ''stud''.\n*An adult female capable of reproduction is a ''brood bitch'', or ''brood mother''.\n*Immature males or females (that is, animals that are incapable of reproduction) are ''pups'' or ''puppies''.\n*A group of pups from the same gestation period is a ''litter''.\n*The father of a litter is a ''sire''. It is possible for one litter to have multiple sires.\n*The mother of a litter is a ''dam''.\n*A group of any three or more adults is a ''pack''.\n" "Taxonomy" "The dog is classified as ''Canis lupus familiaris'' under the Biological Species Concept and ''Canis familiaris'' under the Evolutionary Species Concept.\n\nIn 1758, the taxonomist Linnaeus published in ''Systema Naturae'' a categorization of species which included the ''Canis'' species. ''Canis'' is a Latin word meaning dog, and the list included the dog-like carnivores: the domestic dog, wolves, foxes and jackals. The dog was classified as ''Canis familiaris'', which means \"dog-family\" or the family dog. On the next page he recorded the wolf as ''Canis lupus'', which means \"Dog-wolf\". In 1978, a review aimed at reducing the number of recognized ''Canis'' species proposed that \"''Canis dingo'' is now generally regarded as a distinctive feral domestic dog. ''Canis familiaris'' is used for domestic dogs, although taxonomically it should probably be synonymous with ''Canis lupus.''\" In 1982, the first edition of Mammal Species of the World listed ''Canis familiaris'' under ''Canis lupus'' with the comment: \"Probably ancestor of and conspecific with the domestic dog, ''familiaris''. ''Canis familiaris'' has page priority over ''Canis lupus'', but both were published simultaneously in Linnaeus (1758), and ''Canis lupus'' has been universally used for this species\", which avoided classifying the wolf as the family dog. The dog is now listed among the many other Latin-named subspecies of ''Canis lupus'' as ''Canis lupus familiaris''.\n\nIn 2003, the ICZN ruled in its Opinion 2027 that if wild animals and their domesticated derivatives are regarded as one species, then the scientific name of that species is the scientific name of the wild animal. In 2005, the third edition of Mammal Species of the World upheld Opinion 2027 with the name ''Lupus'' and the note: \"Includes the domestic dog as a subspecies, with the dingo provisionally separate\u00a0\u2013 artificial variants created by domestication and selective breeding\". However, ''Canis familiaris'' is sometimes used due to an ongoing nomenclature debate because wild and domestic animals are separately recognizable entities and that the ICZN allowed users a choice as to which name they could use, and a number of internationally recognized researchers prefer to use ''Canis familiaris''.\n" "Origin" "\n\n\nThe origin of the domestic dog is not clear. The domestic dog is a member of genus ''Canis'' (canines) that forms part of the wolf-like canids, and is the most widely abundant carnivore. The closest living relative of the dog is the gray wolf and there is no evidence of any other canine contributing to its genetic lineage. The dog and the extant gray wolf form two sister clades, with modern wolves not closely related to the wolves that were first domesticated. The archaeological record shows the first undisputed dog remains buried beside humans 14,700 years ago, with disputed remains occurring 36,000 years ago. These dates imply that the earliest dogs arose in the time of human hunter-gatherers and not agriculturists. The dog was the first domesticated species.\n\nWhere the genetic divergence of dog and wolf took place remains controversial, with the most plausible proposals spanning Western Europe, Central Asia, and East Asia. This has been made more complicated by the most recent proposal that fits the available evidence, which is that an initial wolf population split into East and West Eurasian wolves, these were then domesticated independently before going extinct into two distinct dog populations between 14,000-6,400 years ago, and then the Western Eurasian dog population was partially and gradually replaced by East Asian dogs that were brought by humans at least 6,400 years ago.\n" "Biology" "Lateral view of skeleton.\n\n===Anatomy===\n\n\nDomestic dogs have been selectively bred for millennia for various behaviors, sensory capabilities, and physical attributes. Modern dog breeds show more variation in size, appearance, and behavior than any other domestic animal. Dogs are predators and scavengers, and like many other predatory mammals, the dog has powerful muscles, fused wrist bones, a cardiovascular system that supports both sprinting and endurance, and teeth for catching and tearing.\n\n====Size and weight====\nDogs are highly variable in height and weight. The smallest known adult dog was a Yorkshire Terrier, that stood only at the shoulder, in length along the head-and-body, and weighed only . The largest known dog was an English Mastiff which weighed and was from the snout to the tail. The tallest dog is a Great Dane that stands at the shoulder.\n\n====Senses====\nThe dog's senses include vision, hearing, sense of smell, sense of taste, touch and sensitivity to the earth's magnetic field. Another study suggested that dogs can see the earth's magnetic field.\n\n:''See further:'' Dog anatomy-senses\n\n====Coat====\n\nMontage showing the coat variation of the dog.\nThe coats of domestic dogs are of two varieties: \"double\" being common with dogs (as well as wolves) originating from colder climates, made up of a coarse guard hair and a soft down hair, or \"single\", with the topcoat only.\n\nDomestic dogs often display the remnants of countershading, a common natural camouflage pattern. A countershaded animal will have dark coloring on its upper surfaces and light coloring below, which reduces its general visibility. Thus, many breeds will have an occasional \"blaze\", stripe, or \"star\" of white fur on their chest or underside.\n\n====Tail====\n\nThere are many different shapes for dog tails: straight, straight up, sickle, curled, or cork-screw. As with many canids, one of the primary functions of a dog's tail is to communicate their emotional state, which can be important in getting along with others. In some hunting dogs, however, the tail is traditionally docked to avoid injuries. In some breeds, such as the Braque du Bourbonnais, puppies can be born with a short tail or no tail at all.\n\n===Health===\n\nThere are many household plants that are poisonous to dogs including begonia, Poinsettia and aloe vera.\n\nSome breeds of dogs are prone to certain genetic ailments such as elbow and hip dysplasia, blindness, deafness, pulmonic stenosis, cleft palate, and trick knees. Two serious medical conditions particularly affecting dogs are pyometra, affecting unspayed females of all types and ages, and bloat, which affects the larger breeds or deep-chested dogs. Both of these are acute conditions, and can kill rapidly. Dogs are also susceptible to parasites such as fleas, ticks, and mites, as well as hookworms, tapeworms, roundworms, and heartworms.\n\nA number of common human foods and household ingestibles are toxic to dogs, including chocolate solids (theobromine poisoning), onion and garlic (thiosulphate, sulfoxide or disulfide poisoning), grapes and raisins, macadamia nuts, xylitol, as well as various plants and other potentially ingested materials. The nicotine in tobacco can also be dangerous. Dogs can be exposed to the substance by scavenging garbage or ashtrays; eating cigars and cigarettes. Signs can be vomiting of large amounts (e.g., from eating cigar butts) or diarrhea. Some other signs are abdominal pain, loss of coordination, collapse, or death. Dogs are highly susceptible to theobromine poisoning, typically from ingestion of chocolate. Theobromine is toxic to dogs because, although the dog's metabolism is capable of breaking down the chemical, the process is so slow that even small amounts of chocolate can be fatal, especially dark chocolate.\n\nDogs are also vulnerable to some of the same health conditions as humans, including diabetes, dental and heart disease, epilepsy, cancer, hypothyroidism, and arthritis.\n\n====Lifespan====\nheterosis)\nIn 2013, a study found that mixed breeds live on average 1.2 years longer than pure breeds, and that increasing body-weight was negatively correlated with longevity (i.e. the heavier the dog the shorter its lifespan).\n\nThe typical lifespan of dogs varies widely among breeds, but for most the median longevity, the age at which half the dogs in a population have died and half are still alive, ranges from 10 to 13 years. Individual dogs may live well beyond the median of their breed.\n\nThe breed with the shortest lifespan (among breeds for which there is a questionnaire survey with a reasonable sample size) is the Dogue de Bordeaux, with a median longevity of about 5.2 years, but several breeds, including Miniature Bull Terriers, Bloodhounds, and Irish Wolfhounds are nearly as short-lived, with median longevities of 6 to 7 years.\n\nThe longest-lived breeds, including Toy Poodles, Japanese Spitz, Border Terriers, and Tibetan Spaniels, have median longevities of 14 to 15 years. The median longevity of mixed-breed dogs, taken as an average of all sizes, is one or more years longer than that of purebred dogs when all breeds are averaged. The dog widely reported to be the longest-lived is \"Bluey\", who died in 1939 and was claimed to be 29.5 years old at the time of his death. On 5 December 2011, Pusuke, the world's oldest living dog recognized by Guinness Book of World Records, died aged 26 years and 9 months.\n\n\n\n===Reproduction===\n\nDog nursing newborn puppies\nIn domestic dogs, sexual maturity begins to happen around age six to twelve months for both males and females, although this can be delayed until up to two years old for some large breeds. This is the time at which female dogs will have their first estrous cycle. They will experience subsequent estrous cycles semiannually, during which the body prepares for pregnancy. At the peak of the cycle, females will come into estrus, being mentally and physically receptive to copulation. Because the ova survive and are capable of being fertilized for a week after ovulation, it is possible for a female to mate with more than one male.\n\n2\u20135 days after conception fertilization occurs, 14\u201316 days later the embryo attaches to the uterus and after 22\u201323 days the heart beat is detectable.\n\nDogs bear their litters roughly 58 to 68 days after fertilization, with an average of 63 days, although the length of gestation can vary. An average litter consists of about six puppies, though this number may vary widely based on the breed of dog. In general, toy dogs produce from one to four puppies in each litter, while much larger breeds may average as many as twelve.\n\nSome dog breeds have acquired traits through selective breeding that interfere with reproduction. Male French Bulldogs, for instance, are incapable of mounting the female. For many dogs of this breed, the female must be artificially inseminated in order to reproduce.\n\n====Neutering====\nA feral dog from Sri Lanka nursing her four puppies\nNeutering refers to the sterilization of animals, usually by removal of the male's testicles or the female's ovaries and uterus, in order to eliminate the ability to procreate and reduce sex drive. Because of the overpopulation of dogs in some countries, many animal control agencies, such as the American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (ASPCA), advise that dogs not intended for further breeding should be neutered, so that they do not have undesired puppies that may have to later be euthanized.\n\nAccording to the Humane Society of the United States, 3\u20134\u00a0million dogs and cats are put down each year in the United States and many more are confined to cages in shelters because there are many more animals than there are homes. Spaying or castrating dogs helps keep overpopulation down. Local humane societies, SPCAs, and other animal protection organizations urge people to neuter their pets and to adopt animals from shelters instead of purchasing them.\n\nNeutering reduces problems caused by hypersexuality, especially in male dogs. Spayed female dogs are less likely to develop some forms of cancer, affecting mammary glands, ovaries, and other reproductive organs. However, neutering increases the risk of urinary incontinence in female dogs, and prostate cancer in males, as well as osteosarcoma, hemangiosarcoma, cruciate ligament rupture, obesity, and diabetes mellitus in either sex.\n\n===Inbreeding depression===\n\nA common breeding practice for pet dogs is mating between close relatives (e.g. between half- and full siblings). In a study of seven different French breeds of dogs (Bernese mountain dog, basset hound, Cairn terrier, Epagneul Breton, German Shepard dog, Leonberger, and West Highland white terrier) it was found that inbreeding decreases litter size and survival. Another analysis of data on 42,855 dachshund litters, found that as the inbreeding coefficient increased, litter size decreased and the percentage of stillborn puppies increased, thus indicating inbreeding depression.\n\nAbout 22% of boxer puppies die before reaching 7 weeks of age. Stillbirth is the most frequent cause of death, followed by infection. Mortality due to infection was found to increase significantly with increases in inbreeding. Inbreeding depression is considered to be due largely to the expression of homozygous deleterious recessive mutations. Outcrossing between unrelated individuals, including dogs of different breeds, results in the beneficial masking of deleterious recessive mutations in progeny.\n" "Intelligence, behavior and communication" "\n===Intelligence===\n\n\nDog intelligence is the ability of the dog to perceive information and retain it as knowledge for applying to solve problems. Dogs have been shown to learn by inference. A study with Rico showed that he knew the labels of over 200 different items. He inferred the names of novel items by exclusion learning and correctly retrieved those novel items immediately and also 4 weeks after the initial exposure. Dogs have advanced memory skills. A study documented the learning and memory capabilities of a border collie, \"Chaser\", who had learned the names and could associate by verbal command over 1,000 words. Dogs are able to read and react appropriately to human body language such as gesturing and pointing, and to understand human voice commands. Dogs demonstrate a theory of mind by engaging in deception. An experimental study showed compelling evidence that Australian dingos can outperform domestic dogs in non-social problem-solving, indicating that domestic dogs may have lost much of their original problem-solving abilities once they joined humans. Another study indicated that after undergoing training to solve a simple manipulation task, dogs that are faced with an insoluble version of the same problem look at the human, while socialized wolves do not. Modern domestic dogs use humans to solve their problems for them.\n\n===Behavior===\n\n\nDog behavior is the internally coordinated responses (actions or inactions) of the domestic dog (individuals or groups) to internal and/or external stimuli. As the oldest domesticated species, with estimates ranging from 9,000\u201330,000 years BCE, the minds of dogs inevitably have been shaped by millennia of contact with humans. As a result of this physical and social evolution, dogs, more than any other species, have acquired the ability to understand and communicate with humans and they are uniquely attuned to our behaviors. Behavioral scientists have uncovered a surprising set of social-cognitive abilities in the otherwise humble domestic dog. These abilities are not possessed by the dog's closest canine\nrelatives nor by other highly intelligent mammals such as great apes. Rather, these skills parallel some of the social-cognitive skills of human children.\n\n===Communication===\n\n\nDog communication is about how dogs \"speak\" to each other, how they understand messages that humans send to them, and how humans can translate the ideas that dogs are trying to transmit. These communication behaviors include eye gaze, facial expression, vocalization, body posture (including movements of bodies and limbs) and gustatory communication (scents, pheromones and taste). Humans communicate with dogs by using vocalization, hand signals and body posture.\n" "Compared to wolves" "The Saarloos wolfdog carries more gray wolf DNA than any other dog breed\n\n===Physical characteristics===\nDespite their close genetic relationship and the ability to inter-breed, there are a number of diagnostic features to distinguish the gray wolves from domestic dogs. Domesticated dogs are clearly distinguishable from wolves by starch gel electrophoresis of red blood cell acid phosphatase. The tympanic bullae are large, convex and almost spherical in gray wolves, while the bullae of dogs are smaller, compressed and slightly crumpled. Compared to equally sized wolves, dogs tend to have 20% smaller skulls and 30% smaller brains. The teeth of gray wolves are also proportionately larger than those of dogs. Compared to wolves, dogs have a more domed forehead. The temporalis muscle that closes the jaws is more robust in wolves. Wolves do not have dewclaws on their back legs, unless there has been admixture with dogs that had them. Dogs lack a functioning pre-caudal gland, and most enter estrus twice yearly, unlike gray wolves which only do so once a year. Dogs require fewer calories to function than wolves. The dog's limp ears may be the result of atrophy of the jaw muscles. The skin of domestic dogs tends to be thicker than that of wolves, with some Inuit tribes favoring the former for use as clothing due to its greater resistance to wear and tear in harsh weather. The paws of a dog are half the size of those of a wolf, and their tails tend to curl upwards, another trait not found in wolves The dog has developed into hundreds of varied breeds, and shows more behavioral and morphological variation than any other land mammal. For example, height measured to the withers ranges from a in the Chihuahua to in the Irish Wolfhound; color varies from white through grays (usually called \"blue\") to black, and browns from light (tan) to dark (\"red\" or \"chocolate\") in a wide variation of patterns; coats can be short or long, coarse-haired to wool-like, straight, curly, or smooth. It is common for most breeds to shed their coat.\n\n===Behavioral differences===\n\n\nUnlike other domestic species which were primarily selected for production-related traits, dogs were initially selected for their behaviors. In 2016, a study found that there were only 11 fixed genes that showed variation between wolves and dogs. These gene variations were unlikely to have been the result of natural evolution, and indicate selection on both morphology and behavior during dog domestication. These genes have been shown to affect the catecholamine synthesis pathway, with the majority of the genes affecting the fight-or-flight response (i.e. selection for tameness), and emotional processing. Dogs generally show reduced fear and aggression compared to wolves. Some of these genes have been associated with aggression in some dog breeds, indicating their importance in both the initial domestication and then later in breed formation.\n" "Ecology" "\n===Population and habitat===\nThe global dog population is estimated at 900 million and rising. Although it is said that the \"dog is man's best friend\" regarding 17\u201324% of dogs in developed countries, in the developing world they are feral, village or community dogs, with pet dogs uncommon. These live their lives as scavengers and have never been owned by humans, with one study showing their most common response when approached by strangers was to run away (52%) or respond with aggression (11%). We know little about these dogs, nor about the dogs that live in developed countries that are feral, stray or are in shelters, yet the great majority of modern research on dog cognition has focused on pet dogs living in human homes.\n\n===Competitors===\nBeing the most abundant carnivore, feral and free-ranging dogs have the greatest potential to compete with wolves. A review of the studies in the competitive effects of dogs on sympatric carnivores did not mention any research on competition between dogs and wolves. Competition would favor the wolf that is known to kill dogs, however wolves tend to live in pairs or in small packs in areas where they are highly persecuted, giving them a disadvantage facing large dog groups.\n\nWolves kill dogs wherever the two canids occur. One survey claims that in Wisconsin in 1999 more compensation had been paid for dog losses than livestock, however in Wisconsin wolves will often kill hunting dogs, perhaps because they are in the wolf's territory. Some wolf pairs have been reported to prey on dogs by having one wolf lure the dog out into heavy brush where the second animal waits in ambush. In some instances, wolves have displayed an uncharacteristic fearlessness of humans and buildings when attacking dogs, to the extent that they have to be beaten off or killed. Although the numbers of dogs killed each year are relatively low, it induces a fear of wolves entering villages and farmyards to take dogs. In many cultures, there are strong social and emotional bonds between humans and their dogs that can be seen as family members or working team members. The loss of a dog can lead to strong emotional responses with demands for more liberal wolf hunting regulations.\n\nCoyotes and big cats have also been known to attack dogs. Leopards in particular are known to have a predilection for dogs, and have been recorded to kill and consume them regardless of the dog's size or ferocity. Tigers in Manchuria, Indochina, Indonesia, and Malaysia are reputed to kill dogs with the same vigor as leopards. Striped hyenas are major predators of village dogs in Turkmenistan, India, and the Caucasus.\n\nThe spiked collar common on working and pet dogs is no mere ornament: it originated as a protection of the vulnerable neck of a dog from wolves, but also protects dogs from attacks by other dogs.\n\n===Diet===\n\nGolden Retriever gnawing a pig's foot\nDespite their descent from wolves and classification as Carnivora, dogs are variously described in scholarly and other writings as carnivores or omnivores. Unlike obligate carnivores, dogs can adapt to a wide-ranging diet, and are not dependent on meat-specific protein nor a very high level of protein in order to fulfill their basic dietary requirements. Dogs will healthily digest a variety of foods, including vegetables and grains, and can consume a large proportion of these in their diet, however all-meat diets are not recommended for dogs due to their lack of calcium and iron. Comparing dogs and wolves, dogs have adaptations in genes involved in starch digestion that contribute to an increased ability to thrive on a starch-rich diet.\n" "Breeds" "\n\nCavalier King Charles Spaniels demonstrate variation within breed\nMost breeds of dog are at most a few hundred years old, having been artificially selected for particular morphologies and behaviors by people for specific functional roles. Through this selective breeding, the dog has developed into hundreds of varied breeds, and shows more behavioral and morphological variation than any other land mammal. For example, height measured to the withers ranges from in the Chihuahua to about in the Irish Wolfhound; color varies from white through grays (usually called \"blue\") to black, and browns from light (tan) to dark (\"red\" or \"chocolate\") in a wide variation of patterns; coats can be short or long, coarse-haired to wool-like, straight, curly, or smooth. It is common for most breeds to shed this coat.\n\nWhile all dogs are genetically very similar, natural selection and selective breeding have reinforced certain characteristics in certain populations of dogs, giving rise to dog types and dog breeds. Dog types are broad categories based on function, genetics, or characteristics.\nDog breeds are groups of animals that possess a set of inherited characteristics that distinguishes them from other animals within the same species. Modern dog breeds are non-scientific classifications of dogs kept by modern kennel clubs.\n\nPurebred dogs of one breed are genetically distinguishable from purebred dogs of other breeds, but the means by which kennel clubs classify dogs is unsystematic. DNA microsatellite analyses of 85 dog breeds showed they fell into four major types of dogs that were statistically distinct. These include the \"old world dogs\" (e.g., Malamute and Shar Pei), \"Mastiff\"-type (e.g., English Mastiff), \"herding\"-type (e.g., Border Collie), and \"all others\" (also called \"modern\"- or \"hunting\"-type).\n" "Roles with humans" "Gunnar Kaasen and Balto, the lead dog on the last relay team of the 1925 serum run to Nome.\nDomestic dogs inherited complex behaviors, such as bite inhibition, from their wolf ancestors, which would have been pack hunters with complex body language. These sophisticated forms of social cognition and communication may account for their trainability, playfulness, and ability to fit into human households and social situations, and these attributes have given dogs a relationship with humans that has enabled them to become one of the most successful species on the planet today.\n\nThe dogs' value to early human hunter-gatherers led to them quickly becoming ubiquitous across world cultures. Dogs perform many roles for people, such as hunting, herding, pulling loads, protection, assisting police and military, companionship, and, more recently, aiding handicapped individuals. This influence on human society has given them the nickname \"man's best friend\" in the Western world. In some cultures, however, dogs are also a source of meat.\n\n===Early roles===\nWolves, and their dog descendants, would have derived significant benefits from living in human camps\u2014more safety, more reliable food, lesser caloric needs, and more chance to breed. They would have benefited from humans' upright gait that gives them larger range over which to see potential predators and prey, as well as color vision that, at least by day, gives humans better visual discrimination. Camp dogs would also have benefited from human tool use, as in bringing down larger prey and controlling fire for a range of purposes.\nThe dogs of Thibet are twice the size of those seen in India, with large heads and hairy bodies. They are powerful animals, and are said to be able to kill a tiger. During the day they are kept chained up, and are let loose at night to guard their masters' house.\nHumans would also have derived enormous benefit from the dogs associated with their camps. For instance, dogs would have improved sanitation by cleaning up food scraps. Dogs may have provided warmth, as referred to in the Australian Aboriginal expression \"three dog night\" (an exceptionally cold night), and they would have alerted the camp to the presence of predators or strangers, using their acute hearing to provide an early warning.\n\nAnthropologists believe the most significant benefit would have been the use of dogs' robust sense of smell to assist with the hunt. The relationship between the presence of a dog and success in the hunt is often mentioned as a primary reason for the domestication of the wolf, and a 2004 study of hunter groups with and without a dog gives quantitative support to the hypothesis that the benefits of cooperative hunting was an important factor in wolf domestication.\n\nThe cohabitation of dogs and humans would have greatly improved the chances of survival for early human groups, and the domestication of dogs may have been one of the key forces that led to human success.\n\nEmigrants from Siberia that walked across the Bering land bridge into North America may have had dogs in their company, and one writer suggests that the use of sled dogs may have been critical to the success of the waves that entered North America roughly 12,000 years ago, although the earliest archaeological evidence of dog-like canids in North America dates from about 9,400 years ago. Dogs were an important part of life for the Athabascan population in North America, and were their only domesticated animal. Dogs also carried much of the load in the migration of the Apache and Navajo tribes 1,400 years ago. Use of dogs as pack animals in these cultures often persisted after the introduction of the horse to North America.\n\n===As pets===\nSiberian Huskypack animal\nBritish Bulldog shares a day at the park.\nGreen velvet dog collar, dates from 1670 to 1690.\nIt is estimated that three-quarters of the world's dog population lives in the developing world as feral, village, or community dogs, with pet dogs uncommon.\n\n\"The most widespread form of interspecies bonding occurs between humans and dogs\" and the keeping of dogs as companions, particularly by elites, has a long history. (As a possible example, at the Natufian culture site of Ain Mallaha in Israel, dated to 12,000 BC, the remains of an elderly human and a four-to-five-month-old puppy were found buried together). However, pet dog populations grew significantly after World War II as suburbanization increased. In the 1950s and 1960s, dogs were kept outside more often than they tend to be today (using the expression \"in the doghouse\" to describe exclusion from the group signifies the distance between the doghouse and the home) and were still primarily functional, acting as a guard, children's playmate, or walking companion. From the 1980s, there have been changes in the role of the pet dog, such as the increased role of dogs in the emotional support of their human guardians. People and dogs have become increasingly integrated and implicated in each other's lives, to the point where pet dogs actively shape the way a family and home are experienced.\n\nThere have been two major trends in the changing status of pet dogs. The first has been the 'commodification' of the dog, shaping it to conform to human expectations of personality and behaviour. The second has been the broadening of the concept of the family and the home to include dogs-as-dogs within everyday routines and practices.\n\nThere are a vast range of commodity forms available to transform a pet dog into an ideal companion. The list of goods, services and places available is enormous: from dog perfumes, couture, furniture and housing, to dog groomers, therapists, trainers and caretakers, dog cafes, spas, parks and beaches, and dog hotels, airlines and cemeteries. While dog training as an organized activity can be traced back to the 18th century, in the last decades of the 20th century it became a high-profile issue as many normal dog behaviors such as barking, jumping up, digging, rolling in dung, fighting, and urine marking (which dogs do to establish territory through scent), became increasingly incompatible with the new role of a pet dog. Dog training books, classes and television programs proliferated as the process of commodifying the pet dog continued.\n\nThe majority of contemporary people with dogs describe their pet as part of the family, although some ambivalence about the relationship is evident in the popular reconceptualization of the dog\u2013human family as a pack. A dominance model of dog\u2013human relationships has been promoted by some dog trainers, such as on the television program ''Dog Whisperer''. However it has been disputed that \"trying to achieve status\" is characteristic of dog\u2013human interactions. Pet dogs play an active role in family life; for example, a study of conversations in dog\u2013human families showed how family members use the dog as a resource, talking to the dog, or talking through the dog, to mediate their interactions with each other.\n\nIncreasingly, human family members are engaging in activities centered on the perceived needs and interests of the dog, or in which the dog is an integral partner, such as dog dancing and dog yoga.\n\nAccording to statistics published by the American Pet Products Manufacturers Association in the National Pet Owner Survey in 2009\u20132010, it is estimated there are 77.5\u00a0million people with pet dogs in the United States. The same survey shows nearly 40% of American households own at least one dog, of which 67% own just one dog, 25% two dogs and nearly 9% more than two dogs. There does not seem to be any gender preference among dogs as pets, as the statistical data reveal an equal number of female and male dog pets. Yet, although several programs are ongoing to promote pet adoption, less than a fifth of the owned dogs come from a shelter.\n\nThe latest study using magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) comparing humans and dogs showed that dogs have same response to voices and use the same parts of the brain as humans do. This gives dogs the ability to recognize emotional human sounds, making them friendly social pets to humans.\n\n===Work===\nDogs have lived and worked with humans in so many roles that they have earned the unique nickname, \"man's best friend\", a phrase used in other languages as well. They have been bred for herding livestock, hunting (e.g. pointers and hounds), rodent control, guarding, helping fishermen with nets, detection dogs, and pulling loads, in addition to their roles as companions. In 1957, a husky-terrier mix named Laika became the first animal to orbit the Earth.\n\nService dogs such as guide dogs, utility dogs, assistance dogs, hearing dogs, and psychological therapy dogs provide assistance to individuals with physical or mental disabilities. Some dogs owned by epileptics have been shown to alert their handler when the handler shows signs of an impending seizure, sometimes well in advance of onset, allowing the guardian to seek safety, medication, or medical care.\n\nDogs included in human activities in terms of helping out humans are usually called working dogs.\n\n===Sports and shows===\n\nDogs come in a range of sizes.\nPeople often enter their dogs in competitions such as breed-conformation shows or sports, including racing, sledding and agility competitions.\n\nIn conformation shows, also referred to as breed shows, a judge familiar with the specific dog breed evaluates individual purebred dogs for conformity with their established breed type as described in the breed standard. As the breed standard only deals with the externally observable qualities of the dog (such as appearance, movement, and temperament), separately tested qualities (such as ability or health) are not part of the judging in conformation shows.\n\n===As food===\n\n''Gaegogi'' (dog meat) stew being served in a Korean restaurant\n\nIn China and South Vietnam dogs are a source of meat for humans. Dog meat is consumed in some East Asian countries, including Korea, China, and Vietnam, a practice that dates back to antiquity. It is estimated that 13\u201316\u00a0million dogs are killed and consumed in Asia every year. Other cultures, such as Polynesia and pre-Columbian Mexico, also consumed dog meat in their history. However, Western, South Asian, African, and Middle Eastern cultures, in general, regard consumption of dog meat as taboo. In some places, however, such as in rural areas of Poland, dog fat is believed to have medicinal properties\u2014being good for the lungs for instance. Dog meat is also consumed in some parts of Switzerland. Proponents of eating dog meat have argued that placing a distinction between livestock and dogs is western hypocrisy, and that there is no difference with eating the meat of different animals.\n\nIn Korea, the primary dog breed raised for meat, the ''nureongi'' (\ub204\ub801\uc774), differs from those breeds raised for pets that Koreans may keep in their homes.\n\nThe most popular Korean dog dish is ''gaejang-guk'' (also called ''bosintang''), a spicy stew meant to balance the body's heat during the summer months; followers of the custom claim this is done to ensure good health by balancing one's ''gi'', or vital energy of the body. A 19th century version of ''gaejang-guk'' explains that the dish is prepared by boiling dog meat with scallions and chili powder. Variations of the dish contain chicken and bamboo shoots. While the dishes are still popular in Korea with a segment of the population, dog is not as widely consumed as beef, chicken, and pork.\n\n===Health risks to humans===\n\n\nIn 2005, the WHO reported that 55,000 people died in Asia and Africa from rabies, a disease for which dogs are the most important vector.\n\nCiting a 2008 study, the U.S. Center for Disease Control estimated in 2015 that 4.5 million people in the USA are bitten by dogs each year. A 2015 study estimated that 1.8% of the U.S. population is bitten each year. In the 1980s and 1990s the US averaged 17 fatalities per year, while in the 2000s this has increased to 26. 77% of dog bites are from the pet of family or friends, and 50% of attacks occur on the property of the dog's legal owner.\n\nA Colorado study found bites in children were less severe than bites in adults. The incidence of dog bites in the US is 12.9 per 10,000 inhabitants, but for boys aged 5 to 9, the incidence rate is 60.7 per 10,000. Moreover, children have a much higher chance to be bitten in the face or neck. Sharp claws with powerful muscles behind them can lacerate flesh in a scratch that can lead to serious infections.\n\nIn the UK between 2003 and 2004, there were 5,868 dog attacks on humans, resulting in 5,770 working days lost in sick leave.\n\nIn the United States, cats and dogs are a factor in more than 86,000 falls each year. It has been estimated around 2% of dog-related injuries treated in UK hospitals are domestic accidents. The same study found that while dog involvement in road traffic accidents was difficult to quantify, dog-associated road accidents involving injury more commonly involved two-wheeled vehicles.\n\n''Toxocara canis'' (dog roundworm) eggs in dog feces can cause toxocariasis. In the United States, about 10,000 cases of ''Toxocara'' infection are reported in humans each year, and almost 14% of the U.S. population is infected. In Great Britain, 24% of soil samples taken from public parks contained ''T. canis'' eggs. Untreated toxocariasis can cause retinal damage and decreased vision. Dog feces can also contain hookworms that cause cutaneous larva migrans in humans.\n\n===Health benefits for humans===\nDoberman puppy.\nThe scientific evidence is mixed as to whether companionship of a dog can enhance human physical health and psychological wellbeing. Studies suggesting that there are benefits to physical health and psychological wellbeing have been criticised for being poorly controlled, and finding that \"the health of elderly people is related to their health habits and social supports but not to their ownership of, or attachment to, a companion animal.\" Earlier studies have shown that people who keep pet dogs or cats exhibit better mental and physical health than those who do not, making fewer visits to the doctor and being less likely to be on medication than non-guardians.\n\nA 2005 paper states \"recent research has failed to support earlier findings that pet ownership is associated with a reduced risk of cardiovascular disease, a reduced use of general practitioner services, or any psychological or physical benefits on health for community dwelling older people. Research has, however, pointed to significantly less absenteeism from school through sickness among children who live with pets.\" In one study, new guardians reported a highly significant reduction in minor health problems during the first month following pet acquisition, and this effect was sustained in those with dogs through to the end of the study.\n\nIn addition, people with pet dogs took considerably more physical exercise than those with cats and those without pets. The results provide evidence that keeping pets may have positive effects on human health and behaviour, and that for guardians of dogs these effects are relatively long-term. Pet guardianship has also been associated with increased coronary artery disease survival, with human guardians being significantly less likely to die within one year of an acute myocardial infarction than those who did not own dogs.\n\nThe health benefits of dogs can result from contact with dogs in general, and not solely from having dogs as pets. For example, when in the presence of a pet dog, people show reductions in cardiovascular, behavioral, and psychological indicators of anxiety. Other health benefits are gained from exposure to immune-stimulating microorganisms, which, according to the hygiene hypothesis, can protect against allergies and autoimmune diseases. The benefits of contact with a dog also include social support, as dogs are able to not only provide companionship and social support themselves, but also to act as facilitators of social interactions between humans. One study indicated that wheelchair users experience more positive social interactions with strangers when they are accompanied by a dog than when they are not. In 2015, a study found that pet owners were significantly more likely to get to know people in their neighborhood than non-pet owners.\n\nThe practice of using dogs and other animals as a part of therapy dates back to the late 18th century, when animals were introduced into mental institutions to help socialize patients with mental disorders. Animal-assisted intervention research has shown that animal-assisted therapy with a dog can increase social behaviors, such as smiling and laughing, among people with Alzheimer's disease. One study demonstrated that children with ADHD and conduct disorders who participated in an education program with dogs and other animals showed increased attendance, increased knowledge and skill objectives, and decreased antisocial and violent behavior compared to those who were not in an animal-assisted program.\n\n===Medical detection dogs===\nMedical detection dogs are capable of detecting diseases by sniffing a person directly or samples of urine or other specimens. Dogs can detect odour in one part per trillion, as their brain's olfactory cortex is (relative to total brain size) 40 times larger than humans. Dogs may have as many as 300 million odour receptors in their nose, while humans may have only 5 million. Each dog is trained specifically for the detection of single disease from the blood glucose level indicative to diabetes to cancer. The process of training a cancer dog requires six months. A Labrador Retriever called Daisy has detected 551 cancer patients with an accuracy of 93 percent and received the Blue Cross (for pets) Medal for her life-saving skills.\n\n===Shelters===\n\nEvery year, between 6 and 8\u00a0million dogs and cats enter US animal shelters. The Humane Society of the United States (HSUS) estimates that approximately 3 to 4\u00a0million of those dogs and cats are euthanized yearly in the United States. However, the percentage of dogs in US animal shelters that are eventually adopted and removed from the shelters by their new legal owners has increased since the mid-1990s from around 25% to a 2012 average of 40% among reporting shelters (with many shelters reporting 60\u201375%).\n" "Cultural depictions" "\nDogs have been viewed and represented in different manners by different cultures and religions, over the course of history.\n\n===Mythology===\n\n\nIn mythology, dogs often serve as pets or as watchdogs.\n\nIn Greek mythology, Cerberus is a three-headed watchdog who guards the gates of Hades. In Norse mythology, a bloody, four-eyed dog called Garmr guards Helheim. In Persian mythology, two four-eyed dogs guard the Chinvat Bridge. In Philippine mythology, Kimat who is the pet of Tadaklan, god of thunder, is responsible for lightning. In Welsh mythology, Annwn is guarded by C\u0175n Annwn.\n\nIn Hindu mythology, Yama, the god of death owns two watch dogs who have four eyes. They are said to watch over the gates of Naraka. Hunter god Muthappan from North Malabar region of Kerala has a hunting dog as his mount. Dogs are found in and out of the Muthappan Temple and offerings at the shrine take the form of bronze dog figurines.\n\nThe role of the dog in Chinese mythology includes a position as one of the twelve animals which cyclically represent years (the zodiacal dog).\n\n===Religion and culture===\nIn Homer's epic poem the ''Odyssey'', when the disguised Odysseus returns home after 20 years he is recognized only by his faithful dog, Argos, who has been waiting for his return.\n\nIn Islam, dogs are viewed as unclean because they are viewed as scavengers. In 2015 city councillor Hasan K\u00fc\u00e7\u00fck of The Hague called for dog ownership to be made illegal in that city. Islamic activists in L\u00e9rida, Spain, lobbied for dogs to be kept out of Muslim neighborhoods, saying their presence violated Muslims' religious freedom. In Britain, police sniffer dogs are carefully used, and are not permitted to contact passengers, only their luggage. They are required to wear leather dog booties when searching mosques or Muslim homes.\n\nJewish law does not prohibit keeping dogs and other pets. Jewish law requires Jews to feed dogs (and other animals that they own) before themselves, and make arrangements for feeding them before obtaining them. In Christianity, dogs represent faithfulness.\n\nIn China, Korea, and Japan, dogs are viewed as kind protectors.\n\n===Art===\n\n\nCultural depictions of dogs in art extend back thousands of years to when dogs were portrayed on the walls of caves. Representations of dogs became more elaborate as individual breeds evolved and the relationships between human and canine developed. Hunting scenes were popular in the Middle Ages and the Renaissance. Dogs were depicted to symbolize guidance, protection, loyalty, fidelity, faithfulness, watchfulness, and love.\n\nDecameron hunting scene, Davide Ghirlandaio, c.1485 Brooklyn Museum\nFigure of a Recumbent Dog, China, 4th century, Brooklyn Museum\n\n" "See also" "\n\n* Aging in dogs\n* Toy Group\n* Animal track\n* Argos (dog)\n* Dog in Chinese mythology\n* Dogs in art\n* Dog odor\n* Dognapping\n* Ethnocynology\n* Hachik\u014d\u2013a notable example of dog loyalty\n* Lost pet services\n* Mountain dog\n* Wolfdog\n\n;Lists:\n* List of fictional dogs\n* List of individual dogs\n" "References" "\n" "Bibliography" "*\n" "Further reading" "*\n*\n" "External links" "\n* Biodiversity Heritage Library bibliography for ''Canis lupus familiaris''\n* F\u00e9d\u00e9ration Cynologique Internationale (FCI) \u2013 World Canine Organisation\n* Dogs in the Ancient World, an article on the history of dogs\n* View the dog genome on Ensembl\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n"
"Domestic pig" "Introduction" "\n\n\nThe '''domestic pig''' ('''''Sus scrofa domesticus''''' or '''''Sus domesticus'''''), often called '''swine''', '''hog''', or '''pig''' when there is no need to distinguish it from other pigs, is a large, even-toed ungulate. It is variously considered a subspecies of the wild boar or a distinct species. The domestic pig's head-plus-body-length ranges from , and the adult can weigh between . Compared to other artiodactyls, its head is relatively long, pointed, and free of warts. Even-toed ungulates are generally herbivorous, but the domestic pig is an omnivore, like its wild relative.\n\nDomestic pigs are farmed primarily for the consumption of their meat called pork. The animal's bones, hide, and bristles are also used in commercial products. Domestic pigs, especially the pot-bellied pig and micro pig, are sometimes kept as pets.\n" "Description" "Domestic pig skullSkeleton specimen of a swine\nThe domestic pig typically has a large head, with a long snout which is strengthened by a special prenasal bone and a disk of cartilage at the tip. The snout is used to dig into the soil to find food, and is a very acute sense organ. The dental formula of adult pigs is , giving a total of 44 teeth. The rear teeth are adapted for crushing. In the male the canine teeth can form tusks, which grow continuously and are sharpened by constantly being ground against each other.\n\nThere are four hoofed toes on each foot, or trotter, with the two larger central toes bearing most of the weight, but the outer two also being used in soft ground.\n\nMost domestic pigs have rather a sparse hair covering on their skin, although woolly-coated breeds, such as the Mangalitsa, are raised.\n\nPigs possess both apocrine and eccrine sweat glands, although the latter appear limited to the snout and dorsonasal areas. Pigs, however, like other \"hairless\" mammals (e.g. elephants, rhinos, and mole-rats), do not use thermal sweat glands in cooling. Pigs are also less able than many other mammals to dissipate heat from wet mucous membranes in the mouth through panting. Their thermoneutral zone is 16 to 22\u00a0\u00b0C. At higher temperatures, pigs lose heat by wallowing in mud or water; although it has been suggested that wallowing may serve other functions, such as protection from sunburn, ecto-parasite control, and scent-marking.\n\nPigs are one of four known mammalian species which possess mutations in the nicotinic acetylcholine receptor that protect against snake venom. Mongooses, honey badgers, hedgehogs, and pigs all have modifications to the receptor pocket which prevents the snake venom \u03b1-neurotoxin from binding. These represent four separate, independent mutations.\n\nFemale hogs reach sexual maturity at 3\u201312 months of age and come into estrus every 18\u201324 days if they are not successfully bred. The gestation period averages 112\u2013120 days.\n" "Taxonomy" "The domestic pig is most often considered to be a subspecies of the wild boar, which was given the name ''Sus scrofa'' by Carl Linnaeus in 1758; following from this, the formal name of the domestic pig is ''Sus scrofa domesticus''. However, in 1777, Johann Christian Polycarp Erxleben classified the domestic pig as a separate species from the wild boar. He gave it the name ''Sus domesticus'', which is still used by some taxonomists.\n" "History" "Archaeological evidence suggests that pigs were domesticated from wild boar as early as 13,000\u201312,700 BC in the Near East in the Tigris Basin being managed in the wild in a way similar to the way they are managed by some modern New Guineans. Remains of pigs have been dated to earlier than 11,400 BC in Cyprus. Those animals must have been introduced from the mainland, which suggests domestication in the adjacent mainland by then. There was also a separate domestication in China which took place about 8000 years ago.\n\nDNA evidence from sub-fossil remains of teeth and jawbones of Neolithic pigs shows that the first domestic pigs in Europe had been brought from the Near East. This stimulated the domestication of local European wild boar resulting in a third domestication event with the Near Eastern genes dying out in European pig stock. Modern domesticated pigs have involved complex exchanges, with European domesticated lines being exported in turn to the ancient Near East. Historical records indicate that Asian pigs were introduced into Europe during the 18th and early 19th centuries.\n\nIn August 2015, a study looked at over 100 pig genome sequences to ascertain their process of domestication. The process of domestication was assumed to have been initiated by humans, involved few individuals and relied on reproductive isolation between wild and domestic forms. The study found that the assumption of reproductive isolation with population bottlenecks was not supported. The study indicated that pigs were domesticated separately in Western Asia and China, with Western Asian pigs introduced into Europe where they crossed with wild boar. A model that fitted the data included admixture with a now extinct ghost population of wild pigs during the Pleistocene. The study also found that despite back-crossing with wild pigs, the genomes of domestic pigs have strong signatures of selection at DNA loci that affect behavior and morphology. The study concluded that human selection for domestic traits likely counteracted the homogenizing effect of gene flow from wild boars and created domestication islands in the genome. The same process may also apply to other domesticated animals.\n\n\nThe adaptable nature and omnivorous diet of the wild boar allowed early humans to domesticate it readily. Pigs were mostly used for food, but early civilizations also used the pigs' hides for shields, bones for tools and weapons, and bristles for brushes. In India, pigs have been domesticated for a long time, mostly in Goa and some rural areas, for pig toilets. Though ecologically logical as well as economical, pig toilets are waning in popularity as use of septic tanks and sewage systems is increasing in rural areas.\n\nPigs were brought to southeastern North America from Europe by de Soto and other early Spanish explorers. Escaped pigs became feral and caused a great deal of disruption to Native Americans, who had no domesticated livestock.\nDomestic pigs have become feral in many other parts of the world (e.g. New Zealand and northern Queensland) and have caused substantial environmental damage. Feral hybrids of the European wild boar with the domestic pig are also very disruptive to both environment and agriculture (among the 100 most damaging animal species), especially in southeastern South America from Uruguay to Brazil's Mato Grosso do Sul (Center-West Region), and S\u00e3o Paulo (state) (Southeast Region), where they are known as ''javaporcos'' (from ''javali'' and ''porco'', thus \"boar-pigs\").\n\nWith around 1 billion individuals alive at any time, the domesticated pig is one of the most numerous large mammals on the planet.\n" "Behaviour" "Domestic pigs in a wallow\nThe behaviour of domestic pigs resembles that of dogs and humans more than that of cattle or sheep. In many ways, their behaviour appears to be intermediate between that of carnivores and artiodactyls. Domestic pigs seek out the company of other pigs, and often huddle to maintain physical contact, although they do not naturally form large herds. They typically live in groups of about 8-10 adult sows, some young individuals, and some single males.\n\nBecause of their relative lack of sweat glands, pigs often control their body temperature using behavioural thermoregulation. Wallowing, which often consists of coating the body with mud, is a \nbehaviour frequently exhibited by pigs. Pigs root to make wallows that sometimes contains sticky mud with which the pigs cover their body. Pigs do not submerge completely under the mud, but vary the depth and duration of wallowing depending on environmental conditions. Typically, adult pigs start wallowing once the ambient temperature is around 17-21\u00a0\u00b0C. On hot days, pigs cover themselves from head to toe in mud. Pigs may also use mud as a sunscreen, protecting their skin from ultraviolet light, or as a method of keeping parasites away.\n\nIf conditions permit, domesticated pigs feed continuously for many hours and then sleep for many hours, in contrast to ruminants which tend to feed for a short time and then sleep for a short time. Pigs are omnivores and are highly versatile in their feeding behaviour. They can survive well by scavenging on the same types of foods that humans and dogs can live on. In the wild, they are foraging animals, primarily eating leaves, grasses, roots, fruits and flowers. Domestic pigs are intelligent and can be trained to perform numerous tasks and tricks.\n\n===Nest building===\nA behavioural characteristic of domestic pigs which they share with carnivores is nest building and bed making (although modern production systems often prevent these). Pigs root out wallows or depressions (digging with their snout) and the females (sows) will build nests in which to give birth. First the sow digs a depression about the size of her body. She then collects twigs, grasses and leaves, and carries these in her mouth to the depression, building them into a mound. She digs in smaller, finer material to the centre of the mound using her feet. When the mound reaches the desired height, she places large branches, up to 2 metres in length, on the surface. She enters into the mound and roots around to create a depression within the gathered material. She then gives birth in a lying position, which again is different from other artiodactyls which usually give birth in a standing position.\n\nNest-building behaviour is an important part in the process of pre and post-partum maternal behaviour. Nest building will occur during the last 24 hours before the onset of farrowing and becomes most intense during 12 to 6 hours before farrowing. Nest building is divided into two phases: one of which is the initial phase of rooting and pawing the ground while the second phase is the collecting, carrying and arranging of the nest material. One type of animal that does nest building are sows. The sow will separate from the group and seek a suitable nest site with some shelter from rain and wind, and which has well-drained soil. This nest building behaviour is performed to provide the offspring with shelter, comfort, and thermoregulation. The piglets need an increased environmental temperature otherwise they could die due to the cold. The nest will provide protection against weather and predators, while keeping the piglets close to the sow and away from the rest of the herd. This ensures they do not get trampled on and that other piglets are not stealing the milk from the sow (food resource). The nest building behaviour can be influenced by internal and external stimuli. Internal hormonal changes and the completion of one nesting phase are indicators of this maternal behaviour. The onset of nest building is triggered by the rise in prolactin levels, which is caused by a decrease in progesterone and an increase in prostaglandin. While the gathering of the nest material seems to be regulated more by external stimuli such as temperature or udder comfort. Nest building ends when the sow gathers softer material and distributes throughout nest by nodding head movements and pawing with the front legs. The longer time spent on nest building will increase pre-partum oxytocin, allowing for higher piglet weight gain. Nest building is related to the increased litter size, a higher responsiveness to piglet distress, and lower mortality rate in piglets. Letting the sow perform the nest-building behaviour can lead to better health and welfare for both the sow and piglet.\n\n===Nursing and suckling behaviour===\nA sow with suckling piglets. Note the greater use of the anterior teats thus forming the teat order \nCompared to most other mammals, pigs display complex nursing and suckling behaviour. Nursing occurs every 50\u201360 minutes, and the sow requires stimulation from piglets before milk let-down. Sensory inputs (vocalisation, odours from mammary and birth fluids and hair patterns of the sow) are particularly important immediately post-birth to facilitate teat location by the piglets. Initially, the piglets compete for position at the udder, then each piglet massages around its respective teat with its snout, during which time the sow grunts at slow, regular intervals. Each series of grunts varies in frequency, tone and magnitude, indicating the stages of nursing to the piglets.\n\nThe phase of competition for teats and of nosing the udder lasts for about one minute, and ends when milk flow begins. In the third phase, the piglets hold the teats in their mouths and suck with slow mouth movements (one per second), and the rate of the sow\u2019s grunting increases for approximately 20 seconds. The grunt peak in the third phase of suckling does not coincide with milk ejection but rather the release of oxytocin from the pituitary into the bloodstream. Phase four coincides with the period of main milk flow (10\u201320 seconds) when the piglets suddenly withdraw slightly from the udder and start sucking with rapid mouth movements of about three per second. The sow grunts rapidly, lower in tone and often in quick runs of three or four, during this phase. Finally, the flow stops and so does the grunting of the sow. The piglets may then dart from teat to teat and recommence suckling with slow movements, or nosing the udder. Piglets massage and suckle the sow\u2019s teats after milk flow ceases as a way of letting the sow know their nutritional status. This helps her to regulate the amount of milk released from that teat in future sucklings. The more intense the post-feed massaging of a teat, the greater the future milk release from that teat will be.\n\n===Teat order===\nIn pigs, dominance hierarchies can be formed at a very early age. Domestic piglets are highly precocious and within minutes of being born, or sometimes seconds, will attempt to suckle. The piglets are born with sharp teeth and fight to develop a teat order as the anterior teats produce a greater quantity of milk. Once established, this teat order remains stable with each piglet tending to feed from a particular teat or group of teats. Stimulation of the anterior teats appears to be important in causing milk letdown so it might be advantageous to the entire litter to have these teats occupied by healthy piglets.\nUsing an artificial sow to rear groups of piglets, recognition of a teat in a particular area of the udder depended initially on visual orientation by means of reference points on the udder to find the area, and then the olfactory sense for the more accurate search within that area.\n\n===Senses===\nPigs have panoramic vision of approximately 310\u00b0 and binocular vision of 35\u00b0 to 50\u00b0. It is thought they have no eye accommodation. Other animals that have no accommodation, e.g. sheep, lift their heads to see distant objects. The extent to which pigs have colour vision is still a source of some debate; however, the presence of cone cells in the retina with two distinct wavelength sensitivities (blue and green) suggests that at least some colour vision is present.\n\nPigs have a well-developed sense of smell and use is made of this in Europe where they are trained to locate underground truffles. Olfactory rather than visual stimuli are used in the identification of other pigs. Hearing is also well developed, and localisation of sounds is made by moving the head. Pigs use auditory stimuli extensively as a means of communication in all social activities. Alarm or aversive stimuli are transmitted to other pigs not only by auditory cues but also by pheromones. Similarly, recognition between the sow and her piglets is by olfactory and vocal cues.\n" "Xenotransplantation" "\n\nPigs are currently thought to be the best non-human candidates for organ donation to humans. The risk of cross-species disease transmission is decreased because of their increased phylogenetic distance from humans. They are readily available, their organs are anatomically comparable in size, and new infectious agents are less likely since they have been in close contact with humans through domestication for many generations.\n\nTo date no xenotransplantation trials have been entirely successful due to obstacles arising from the response of the recipient\u2019s immune system\u2014generally more extreme than in allotransplantations, ultimately results in rejection of the xenograft, and in some cases result in the death of the recipient\u2014including hyperacute rejection, acute vascular rejection, cellular rejection and chronic rejection. An early major breakthrough was the 1,3 galactosyl transferase gene knockout.\n\nExamples of viruses carried by pigs include porcine herpesvirus, rotavirus, parvovirus, and circovirus. Of particular concern are PERVS (porcine endogenous retroviruses), vertically transmitted microbes that embed in swine genomes. The risks with xenosis are twofold, as not only could the individual become infected, but a novel infection could initiate an epidemic in the human population. Because of this risk, the FDA has suggested any recipients of xenotransplants shall be closely monitored for the remainder of their life, and quarantined if they show signs of xenosis.\n\nPig cells have been engineered to inactivate all 62 PERVs in the genome using CRISPR Cas9 genome editing technology, and eliminated infection from the pig to human cells in culture.\n" "Breeds" "\nPigs are exhibited at agricultural shows, judged either as stud stock compared to the standard features of each breed, or in commercial classes where the animals are judged primarily on their suitability for slaughter to provide premium meat. According to The Livestock Conservancy, seven breeds of swine in the US are critically rare (having a global population of fewer than 2000), as are the Auckland Island Pig (New Zealand) and woolly-coated grazing pig (Danube area).\n" "Human uses" "Interior of pig farm at Bj\u00e4rka-S\u00e4by Castle, Sweden, 1911.\nThe domestic pig is mostly used for its meat, pork. Other food products made from pigs include pork sausage (casings made from the intestines), bacon, gammon, ham and pork scratchings (cracklings or rinds). The head of a pig can be used to make a preserved jelly called head cheese (sometimes known as brawn). Liver, chitterlings, blood (for blood pudding or black pudding), and other offal from pigs are also widely used for food. In some religions, such as Judaism and Islam, pork is taboo food.\n\nThe use of pig milk for human consumption does take place, but as there are certain difficulties in obtaining it, there is little commercial production.\n\nPigskin is used to produce seat covers, apparel, pork rinds, and other items.\n\n===In farming===\n\n\nIn some developing and developed nations, the domestic pig is usually raised outdoors in yards or fields. In some areas, pigs are allowed to forage in woods where they may be taken care of by swineherds. In industrialized nations such as the United States, domestic pig farming has switched from the traditional pig farm to large-scale intensive pig farms. This has resulted in lower production costs, but can cause significant cruelty problems, and demand for pasture-raised pork in the United States has increased as consumers become concerned with humane treatment of livestock.\n\n===As a pet ===\nTwo pot-bellied pigs, a breed of domestic pig originating in Vietnam\nAsian pot-bellied pigs, a small type of domestic pig, have made popular house pets in the United States beginning in the latter half of the twentieth century. Domestic farmyard pigs have also been known to be kept indoors, but due to their large size and destructive tendencies, they typically need to be moved into an outdoor pen as they grow older. Most pigs have a fear of being picked up by the stomach, but will usually calm down once placed back on the floor. Pigs are rarely used as working animals. An important exception is the use of truffle pigs \u2013 ordinary pigs trained to find truffles.\n\nMiniature pigs, also called micro or teacup pigs, which are specifically bred to be small, may weigh from . They gained in popularity in late 2009 after several mainstream press articles claimed they were a popular pet to celebrities. Despite claims that the \"teacup pigs\" will remain small their whole lives, these pigs grew to 50\u00a0kg, but Beijing Genomics Institute in Shenzhen have since engineered new micro pigs via TALEN genome editing to inactivate the growth hormone receptor gene (GHR); and these are just 15\u00a0kg at maturity.\n\n===In biomedical research===\nThe domestic pig both as a live animal and source of post mortem tissues is one of the most valuable animal models used in biomedical research today because of its biological, physiological and anatomical similarities to human beings. Live porcine as well as post mortem tissues are used in finding treatments and cures for diseases and for teaching and education. Also they are used in the development of medical instruments and devices, surgical techniques and instrumentation and FDA approved research. As part of animal conservation (The Three Rs (animals)) live animals as well as post mortem porcine tissues contribute to the reduction and replacement methods for animal research as they supply more information from less animals or tissue used and also at a lower cost.\n\n===In entertainment===\nMiss Piggy, Babe, and Porky Pig represent the domestic pig in entertainment, and \"The Three Little Pigs\", Piglet in the stories of A. A. Milne, ''Charlotte's Web'', ''The Sheep-Pig'', Zhu Bajie and Napoleon in George Orwell's ''Animal Farm'' are prominent examples of the domestic pig in literature.\n" "Glossary of terms" "\nBecause the domestic pig is a major domesticated animal, English has many terms unique to the species.\n\n*''barrow'' - a castrated male swine\n*''boar'' - a mature, male swine; often a wild or feral swine\n*''farrow'' (verb) - to give birth to piglets\n*''farrow'' (noun) - a litter of piglets\n*''gilt'' - a female pig that has never been pregnant\n*''hog'' - a domestic swine, especially a fully-grown specimen\n*''parcel'' - collective noun\n*''pig'' - strictly, an immature swine; more generally, any swine, especially of the domestic variety\n*''piglet'' - a very young pig\n*''shoat'' - a young hog, especially one that has been weaned\n*''sow'' - a mature, female swine\n*''swine'' (singular and plural) - a hog; hogs collectively or generally\n*''swineherd'' - one who tends swine; a pig farmer\n*''queen'' - a female pig that has never been mated\n" "See also" "\n*Exotic pet\n*Extensive farming\n*Food and drink prohibitions\n*Free range\n*Intensive animal farming\n*Intensive farming\n*Mycoplasma hyorhinis \n*Peccary (domestication) \n*Truffle hog\n*Xenotransfusion\n" "Gallery (anatomy)" "\n\nPig hand skeleton.jpg|Pig hand skeleton.\nDomestic pig heart.jpg|Domestic pig heart.\nDomestic pig kidney-- FMVZ USP-10.jpg|Pig kidney.\nDomestic pig testis 01- FMVZ USP-12.jpg|Pig testis.\nDomestic pig fetus- FMVZ USP-25.jpg|Pig fetus.\nDomestic pig testis 02- FMVZ USP-15.jpg|Pig testis.\nDomestic pig scrotal sac- FMVZ USP-17.jpg|Pig scrotal sac.\nFemale reproductive tract of a pig- FMVZ USP-28.jpg|Female reproductive tract of a pig.\nDomestic pig fetus- FMVZ USP-26.jpg|Pig fetus.\n\n\n" "Footnotes" "\n" "References" "* \n* Animal Welfare AVMA Policy on Pregnant Sow Housing\n* CAST Scientific Assessment of the Welfare of Dry Sows kept in Individual Accommodations- March 2009\n" " External links " "\n* JSR Genetics, Pig genetics company\n* An introduction to pig keeping\n* JJ Genetics, gilt pig breeders\n* Swine Study Guide from UC Davis\n* British Pig Association\n* The process of pig slaughtery\n* Swine Care\n* Globe and Mail article Canada's transgenic Enviropig is stuck in a genetic modification poke\n* Information on Micro Pigs\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n"
"Domestic rabbit" "Introduction" "\n\n\nA '''domestic rabbit''' or '''domesticated rabbit''' (''Oryctolagus''), more commonly known as simply a '''rabbit''', is any of the domesticated varieties of the European rabbit species. Rabbits were first domesticated in the Middle Ages and are used as sources of food, fur, and wool, as research subjects, and as pets. The male is called a ''buck'' and the female is a ''doe''; a young rabbit is a ''kit'' or ''bunny''.\n" "History" "Rabbits kept in cages for scientific experimentation\nPhoenician sailors visiting the coast of Spain c. 12th century BC, mistaking the European rabbit for a species from their homeland (the rock hyrax ''Procavia capensis''), gave it the name ''i-shepan-ham'' (land or island of hyraxes). A theory exists that a corruption of this name, used by the Romans, became the Latin name for the peninsula, Hispania \u2013 although this theory is somewhat controversial. In Rome rabbits were raised in large walled colonies.\n\nSelective breeding of rabbits began in the Middle Ages, when they were first domesticated as farm animals. By the 16th century, several new breeds of different colors and sizes were being recorded.\n\nIn the 19th century, as animal fancy in general began to emerge, rabbit fanciers began to sponsor rabbit exhibitions and fairs in Western Europe and the United States. Breeds of various domesticated animals were created and modified for the added purpose of exhibition, a departure from the breeds that had been created solely for food, fur, wool, or labor. The rabbit's emergence as a household pet began during the Victorian era.\n\nDomestic rabbits have been popular in the United States since the late 19th century. What became known as the \"Belgian Hare Boom\", began with the importation of the first Belgian Hares from England in 1888 and soon after the founding of the first rabbit club in America, the American Belgian Hare Association. From 1898 to 1901, many thousands of Belgian Hares were imported to America. Today, the Belgian Hare is considered one of the rarest breeds with less than 200 in the United States as reported in a recent survey.\n\nThe American Rabbit Breeders Association (ARBA) was founded in 1910 and is the national authority on rabbit raising and rabbit breeds having a uniform Standard of Perfection, registration and judging system. The domestic rabbit continues to be popular as a show animal and pet. Many thousand rabbit shows occur each year and are sanctioned in Canada and the United States by the ARBA. Today, the domesticated rabbit is the third most popular mammalian pet in Britain after dogs and cats.\n\nRabbits have been, and continue to be, used in laboratory work such as production of antibodies for vaccines and research of human male reproductive system toxicology. The Environmental Health Perspective, published by the National Institute of Health, states, \"The rabbit is an extremely valuable model for studying the effects of chemicals or other stimuli on the male reproductive system.\" According to the Humane Society of the United States, rabbits are also used extensively in the study of bronchial asthma, stroke prevention treatments, cystic fibrosis, diabetes, and cancer. Animal rights activists have opposed animal experimentation for non-medical purposes, such as the testing of cosmetic and cleaning products, which has resulted in decreased use of rabbits in these areas.\n" "Terminology" "Male rabbits are called ''bucks''; females are called ''does''. An older term for an adult rabbit is ''coney'', while ''rabbit'' once referred only to the young animals. Another term for a young rabbit is ''bunny'', though this term is often applied informally (especially by children) to rabbits generally, especially domestic ones. More recently, the term ''kit'' or ''kitten'' has been used to refer to a young rabbit. A young hare is called a ''leveret''; this term is sometimes informally applied to a young rabbit as well. A group of rabbits is known as a \"colony\" or a \"nest\".\n" "Biology" "\n===Diet===\nThe domestic rabbit's diet depends upon whether it is a pet, a meat, or a fur rabbit. Meat and fur rabbits are fed diets which will improve meat or fur production and allow for the safe delivery of large litters of healthy kits while minimising costs and producing feces which meet waste regulations where appropriate.\n\nCommercial food pellets are available in most countries in a variety of formulations, and are typically fed to adult rabbits in limited quantities to prevent obesity. Most pellets are based on alfalfa as a protein and fiber source, with other grains being used to complete the carbohydrate requirements. Minerals and vitamins geared toward specific requirements of rabbits are added during production. Many commercial rabbit raisers also feed grass hay, although this can represent a hygiene issue in rabbitries. Alfalfa hay in particular is recommended for immature rabbits.\n\nIn contrast, a pet rabbit's diet may require fewer calories and energy, while taking advantage of many home-prepared ingredients. \n\nA diet including too many pellets, root vegetables or sugary fruits can lead to diarrhea, obesity, poor wear on molar teeth and other health problems. Studies have shown that although a short changeover period is needed, domestic rabbits are highly adaptable to diets produced from locally available forage products in developing countries.\n\nFresh water should always be available, either in a water bottle or bowl.\n\n===Digestion===\nRabbits are hindgut fermenters and therefore have an enlarged cecum. This allows rabbits to digest, via fermentation, what they otherwise would not be able to metabolically process. Because a rabbit has a sensitive and rather substantial gastrointestinal tract, a rabbit's diet should consist of some amount of fiber. Without a proper diet, gastrointestinal stasis can occur and have detrimental effects on the animal. It is in the cecum that this fiber is digested.\n\nAfter a rabbit ingests food, the food travels down the esophagus and through a small valve called the cardia. In rabbits, this valve is very well pronounced and makes the rabbit incapable of vomiting. The food enters the stomach after passing through the cardia. Food then moves to the stomach and small intestine where a majority of nutrient extraction and absorption takes place. Food then passes into the colon and eventually into the cecum. Peristaltic muscle contractions (waves of motion) help to separate fibrous and non-fibrous particles. The non-fibrous particles are then moved backwards up the colon, through the illeo-cecal valve, and into the cecum. Symbiotic bacteria in the cecum help to further digest the non-fibrous particles into a more metabolically manageable substance. After as little as three hours, a soft, fecal \"pellet\", called a cecotrope, is expelled from the rabbit's anus. The rabbit instinctively eats these grape-like pellets, without chewing, in exchange keeping the mucous coating intact. This coating protects the vitamin- and nutrient-rich bacteria from stomach acid, until it reaches the small intestine, where the nutrients from the cecotrope can be absorbed.\n\nThe soft pellets contain a sufficiently large portion of nutrients that are critical to the rabbit's health. This soft fecal matter is rich in vitamin B and other nutrients. The process of coprophagy is important to the stability of a rabbit's digestive health because it is one important way that which a rabbit receives vitamin B in a form that is useful to its digestive wellness. Occasionally, the rabbit may leave these pellets lying about its cage; this behavior is harmless and usually related to an ample food supply.\n\nWhen caecal pellets are wet and runny (semi-liquid) and stick to the rabbit and surrounding objects they are called ontermittent soft cecotropes (ISCs). This is different from ordinary diarrhea and is usually caused by a diet too high in carbohydrates or too low in fiber. Soft fruit or salad items such as lettuce, cucumbers and tomatoes are possible causes. Increasing dietary fiber and decreasing carbohydrates should restore the gut flora to normal in the cecum and return gastrointestinal tract motility to normal. This can be avoided by providing a healthy diet of unlimited grass hay as the main part with fibrous green foods such as broccoli and cabbage and limited high fiber/low energy pellets. Note also that there are other more serious but uncommon causes such as cancer, intestinal obstructions and abscesses. \n\n\n\n===Reproduction===\nOvulation is induced by sexual stimulation. Sexual maturity age for small breeds (Mini Rex, Polish) is 4 to 5 months. For medium breeds such as New Zealand, or Rex, onset is 5 to 6 months, and 6\u20137 months in large breeds (Flemish Giant, Checkered Giant). Males usually require more time to fully mature, and normally reach adult sperm counts between 6\u20137 months.\n\nDue to the territorial nature of female rabbits, it is standard practice for the doe to always be brought to the buck's cage. When the doe is brought to the bucks' cage, he quickly mounts her, performs pelvic thrusting culminating in ejaculation, and \"flops\" off. The whole act may take less than 30 seconds, and is often repeated several times. When he is finished, the buck should then be removed, but many breeders will reintroduce the buck a few hours later to increase the size of the litter.\n\nRabbits are often spayed (if female) or neutered (male) at the onset of adolescence to prevent unwanted offspring, and for health and behavior benefits. \n\n====Milk====\nRabbits, like all mammals, produce milk for their young. Females have six to eight nipples. They produce milk for four to five weeks.\n\nRabbit milk is fairly high in fat, as a percentage by mass. While most species produce approximately 5% milk fat, rabbits produce 12%. See excerpted table below for comparison of species with the highest and lowest milk fat content.\n\n\nSpecies \n Fat \n Protein \n Lactose \n Ash \n Total Solids\n\nSeal, gray \n 53.2 \n 11.2 \n 2.6 \n 0.7 \n 68\n\nWhale \n 34.8 \n 13.6 \n 1.8 \n 1.6 \n 51\n\nBear, polar \n 31 \n 10.2 \n 0.5 \n 1.2 \n 43\n\nRabbit \n 12.2 \n 10.4 \n 1.8 \n 2 \n 26\n\nBison \n 1.7 \n 4.8 \n 5.7 \n 1.0 \n 13\n\nHorse \n 1.6 \n 2.7 \n 6.1 \n 0.5 \n 11\n\nDonkey \n 1.2 \n 1.7 \n 6.9 \n 0.5 \n 10\n\n\n===Genetics===\nThe study of rabbit genetics is mainly due to medical researchers, fanciers, and the fur and meat industries. Each of these groups have differing interests and needs for genetic information. In biomedical research community and pharmaceutical industry, rabbits are used to produce antibodies, test toxicity of consumer products, and as a model organism. Among rabbit fanciers, the fiber/fur industry, the genetics of coat color and hair properties are paramount. The meat industry selects for disease resistance, feed conversion ratio, and reproduction potential.\n\n====Linkage maps====\nEarly genetic research focused on linkage distance between various gross phenotypes using linkage analysis. Between 1924 and 1941, the relationship between the c, y, b, du, En, l, r1, r2, A, dw, w, f, and br had been established (phenotype is listed below).\n\n:* c -- albino\n:* y -- yellow fat\n:* du -- Dutch coloring\n:* En -- English coloring\n:* l -- angora\n:* r1, r2 -- rex genes\n:* A -- Agouti\n:* dw -- dwarf gene\n:* w -- wide intermediate-color band \n:* f -- furless\n:* br -- brachydactyly\n\nThe distance between these genes is as follows, enumerated by chromosome. The format is gene1\u2014distance\u2014gene2 -- ...\n\n\n:# c -- 14.4 -- y -- 28.4 -- b\n:# du -- 1.2 -- EN -- 13.1 -- l\n:# r1 -- 17.2 -- r2\n:# A -- 14.7 -- dw -- 15.4 -- w\n:# f -- 28.3 -- br\n\nThe rabbit genome has been sequenced and is publicly available. The mitochondrial DNA has also been sequenced.\n\nIn 2011, parts of the rabbit genome were re-sequenced in greater depth in order to expose variation within the genome.\n\n====Color genes====\n\nThere are 10 color gene groups (or loci) in rabbits. They are A, B, C, D, E, En, Du, Si, V, and W. Each locus has dominant and recessive genes. In addition to the loci there are also modifiers, which modify a certain gene. These include the rufus modifiers, color intensifiers, and plus/minus (blanket/spot) modifiers. A rabbit's coat only has two pigments, pheomelanin (yellow) and eumelanin (dark brown). There can also be no pigment, causing an albino or white rabbit.\n\nWithin each group, the genes are listed in order of dominance, with the most dominant gene first. In parenthesis after the description is at least one example of a color that displays this gene.\n\n:''Note: lower case are recessive and capital letters are dominant''\nChinchilla\n*\"A\" represents the agouti locus (multiple bands of color on the hair shaft). The genes are:\n**A=agouti (\"wild color\" or chestnut agouti, opal, chinchilla, etc.)\n**a(t)=tan pattern (otter, tan, silver marten)\n**a=self or non-agouti (black, chocolate)\n*\"B\" represents the brown locus. The genes are:\n**B=black (chestnut agouti, black otter, black)\n**b=brown (chocolate agouti, chocolate otter, chocolate)\nBlue\n*\"C\" represents the color locus. The genes are:\n**C=full color (black)\n**c(ch3)=dark chinchilla, removes yellow pigmentation (chinchilla, silver marten)\n**c(ch2)=medium (light) chinchilla, Slight reduction in eumelanin creating a more sepia tone in the fur rather than black.\n**c(ch1)=light (pale) chinchilla (sable, sable point, smoke pearl, seal)\n**c(h)=color sensitive expression of color. Warmer parts of body do not express color. Known as himalayan, the body is white with extremities (\"points\") colored in black, blue, chocolate or lilac, pink eyes\n**c=albino (ruby-eyed white or REW)\n*\"D\" represents the dilution locus. This gene dilutes black to blue and chocolate to lilac.\n**D=dense color (chestnut agouti, black, chocolate)\n**d=diluted color (opal, blue or lilac)\n*\"E\" represents the extension locus. It works with the 'A' and 'C' loci, and rufus modifiers. When it is recessive, it removes most black pigment. The genes are:\n**E(d)=dominant black\n**E(s)=steel (black removed from tips of fur, which then appear golden or silver)\n**E=normal\n**e(j)=Japanese brindling (harlequin), black and yellow pigment broken into patches over the body. In a broken color pattern this results in Tricolor.\n**e=most black pigment removed (agouti becomes red or orange, self becomes tortoise)\nDutch\n*\"En\" represents the plus/minus (blanket/spot) color locus. It is incompletely dominant and results in three possible color patterns:\n**EnEn=\"Charlie\" or a lightly marked broken with color on ears, on nose and sparsely on body\n**Enen=Broken rabbit with roughly even distribution of color and white\n**enen=Solid color with no white areas\n*\"Du\" represents the Dutch color pattern, (the front of the face, front part of the body, and rear paws are white, the rest of the rabbit has colored fur). The genes are:\n**Du=absence of Dutch pattern\n**du(d)=Dutch (dark)\n**du(w)=Dutch (white)\nCzech Red\n*\"V\" represents the vienna white locus. The genes are:\n**V=normal color\n**Vv=Vienna carrier, carries blue-eyed white gene. May appear as a solid color, with snips of white on nose and/or front paws, or Dutch marked.\n**v=vienna white (blue-eyed white or BEW)\n*\"Si\" represents the silver locus. The genes are:\n**Si=normal color\n**si=silver color (silver, silver fox)\n*\"W\" represents the middle yellow-white band locus and works with the agouti gene. The genes are:\n**W=normal width of yellow band\n**w=doubles yellow band width (Otter becomes Tan, intensified red factors in Thrianta and Belgian Hare)\n*\"P\" represents the OCA type II form of albinism, P is because it is an integral P protein mutation. The genes are:\n**P=normal color\n**p=albinism mutation, removes eumelanin and causes pink eyes. (Will change, for example, a Chestnut Agouti into a Shadow)\nIndian rabbit\n" "Breeds" " Holland Lop with black patches on white (a pattern called \"broken\")\n\n\nNumerous different, standardized breeds of domestic rabbit have been developed, with various sizes, temperaments, and care requirements. Mostly of them have historically been bred to be much larger than wild rabbits, though selective breeding has produced a range sizes from \"dwarf\" to \"giant\", many of which are kept as food and fur animals as well as pets across the world. The modern, long-haired Angora breed is raised for its long, soft fur, which is often spun, like wool, into yarn. Other breeds are raised for the fur industry, particularly the Rex, which has a smooth, velvet-like coat and comes in a wide variety of colors and sizes. There are 49 rabbit breeds recognized by the American Rabbit Breeders Association in the United States, and over 50 rabbit breeds recognized by the British Rabbit Council. There are many more breeds of rabbits worldwide.\n\nAs with breeds of dogs, rabbit breeds were selectively bred by humans at different times to achieve certain desired characteristics. They have as much color variation between them as do other household pets, and vary in other traits from breed to breed, such as coat length and texture, body shape, ear length and position (many are lop-eared), tail size, etc. Temperaments can vary slightly with breed and gender, as with any animal, and this may include contentment and relaxation versus timidity and fearfulness, alertness, playfulness, and submissiveness versus aggression.\n\nMost genetic defects in the domestic rabbit (such as the Holland Lop breed's tendency to develop dental problems) are due to recessive genes. These genes are carefully tracked by fanciers of the breeds who show these animals; just as dog fanciers carefully check for hip, eye and heart problems, rabbit fanciers extensively follow their own lines to breed out unwanted defects.\n" "As pets" "\n Standard Chinchilla domestic rabbit\nRabbits have been kept as pets in Western nations since the 19th century. Rabbits bond (albeit slowly) with owners, can learn to follow simple voice commands and come when called by name, and are curious and playful. They do not make good pets for small children, as rabbits are fragile and easily injured by rough handling, as well as frequently frightened by loud noises and sudden motions.\n\nUnited Kingdom regulations require certain vaccinations for all rabbits ; such mandates are not common in other countries. The keeping of pet rabbits is banned in the Australian state of Queensland. Rabbits are especially popular as pets in the United States during the Easter season, due to their association with the holiday. However, animal shelters that accept rabbits often complain that during the weeks and months following Easter, there is a rise in unwanted and neglected rabbits that were bought as Easter \"gifts\", especially for children. Similar problems arise in rural areas after county fairs and the like, in jurisdictions in which rabbits are legal prizes in fairground games.\n\nThere are many humane societies, animal shelters, and rescue groups that have rabbits available for pet adoption. Fancy rabbit breeds are often purchased from pet stores, private breeders, and fanciers.\n\n===House rabbits===\nA house rabbit sharing an apple with its owner\nRabbits are increasingly kept as house pets in family homes, in \"rabbit-proofed\" spaces that do not provide dangerous or valuable things upon which to gnaw. Living indoors shelters a rabbit from outdoor dangers such as predators, weather, vehicles, and pesticides, and thus lengthens their lifespan. Rabbits are easy to housebreak, by training them to use a cat-style litter box, with low-dust litter or other materials that will not cause health problems if ingested. Those that are not spayed or neutered may begin to engage in territorial marking (which can frustrate efforts to litter-train as well as damage household items) and aggressive behavior. \n\nRabbits are usually compatible with other small animals, including other rabbits, birds, and rodents such as chinchillas and guinea pigs (cavies), but this may not be advisable . They may also be kept with non-aggressive cats and dogs, after gradual introduction, but are usually supervised with them, as both of these other animals have predatory behaviors that may instinctively lead them to attack rabbits, or simply injure them through overly rough play.\n\nThis is less likely when the cat or dog is raised from infancy with a rabbit. Some dog breeds, especially those developed for vermin control or for small-game hunting, are more likely to act aggressively toward rabbits and other small animals.\n\nKeeping a rabbit as a house companion was popularised by Sandy Crook in her 1981 book ''Your French Lop''. In 1983, Crook was a featured lecturer to the 35,000 attendees at the American Family Pet Show in Anaheim, California where she presented her personal experiences of living with her indoor rabbit as evidence of a human\u2013rabbit bond. Throughout the 1980s it became more common to litter-box train a rabbit and keep it indoors, after the publication of Marinell Harriman's ''House Rabbit Handbook: How to Live with an Urban Rabbit'' in 1985. The US-based House Rabbit Society was founded in 1988.\n\n===Maintenance===\nA house rabbit eating parsley\nRabbits are relatively inexpensive to keep when compared to larger animals, such as horses, or to carnivorous ones such as cats and dogs, but their care can still be moderately costly. Accommodations can range from a sheltered outdoor hutch to an indoor pen or rabbit-proofed room. Pet rabbits' housing, indoor or outdoor, is often equipped with shelves, ramps, tunnels, toys, and other enrichment items. Some indoor/outdoor pet rabbits, kept inside at night, are given the equivalent of a dog run, or collapsible lawn pen fencing, to use during the day.\n\nA pet rabbit's diet, focused on providing adequate fiber, typically consists of timothy grass or other hay (about 80% of the diet), a fair quantity of leafy greens and other fresh vegetables (not just carrots, which are sugary), and a limited amount of commercial pellet fodder. However, testing to determine if this hay/vegetable/pellet diet meets the animal's requirements for minerals and vitamins have not been conducted to the extent that pellet diets have been researched in commercial rabbitry. Some rabbit welfare organizations and veterinarians recommended that a pet rabbit's diet should model off an approximation of a wild rabbit's natural diet as a foraging animal. Outdoor rabbits are also happy to eat some lawn grass, though it is not a complete diet for them. Small scale farming of rabbits often feeds them largely from kitchen scraps.\n\nRegular brushing of the coat helps to increase sanitation and reduce ingestion of loose fur, and is especially important for the recently developed long-haired breeds. Regular trimming of the claws (sometimes called nails) may be needed if a pet rabbit lives indoors where it cannot dig and naturally wear its claws down. In the middle-sized breeds, the teeth grow approximately 125\u00a0mm (5\u00a0in) per year for the upper incisors and about 200\u00a0mm (8\u00a0in) per year for the lower incisors. The teeth in most breeds abrade away against one another, giving them a constantly sharp edge.\n\n===Behavioral concerns ===\nThese two house rabbits share a litter box originally intended for cats.\nAs the domestic descendants of wild prey animals, rabbits are alert, timid creatures that startle fairly easily, and many of their behaviors are triggered by the fight-or-flight response to perceived threats. According to the House Rabbit Society, the owner of a pet rabbit can use various behavioral approaches to win the animal's trust, which can be a long and difficult process.\n\nA rabbit's body language and posture are key factors to determining temperament. Fearful behavior is often the most difficult to discern, as it can be mistaken for submissive behavior, or even contentedness. When a rabbit is fearful it may be twitchy, attempt to flee, crouch low with its ears pulled back, may have an accelerated pulse, or even produce a high-pitched scream. A rabbit's facial expressions may indicate fear, especially with bulging eyes, and cheek muscles pulled tight. A fearful rabbit will sometimes thump its hind legs; while this is a behavior that evolved to alert other rabbits to a potential threat, solitary rabbits also do it instinctively. Contrarily, rabbits may sometimes seem unusually calm when frightened, but are nevertheless highly stressed .\n\nRabbits are social animals whose welfare benefits from being housed with other rabbits; however, house rabbits can be kept singly if enough attention is paid to them by the owner.\n\n===Safety===\nRabbits have been identified with few zoonotic (animal-to-human transmitted) diseases, and are considered low-risk for people with competent immune systems, but a risk exists of transmission of ''Escherichia coli'' (''E. coli''), ''Encephalitozoon cuniculi'', and various ''Salmonella'' bacteria species, particularly for people with compromised immune systems. A rare risk is the deadly bacterial disease tularemia (or \"rabbit fever\", among other names). There is no vaccine currently available (though one was \"on the horizon\" ); instead, good hygiene is the best preventative.\n\nIf a rabbit feels a need to defend itself, it may attempt to kick or scratch the perceived threat with its hind legs after rolling onto its back. This could be dangerous for the rabbit as well as for the perceived threat, as it risks injuring its legs or spine. Simple improper holding or handling of a pet rabbit can lead to strong kicks by the frightened or uncomfortable animal. Rabbits are occasionally aggressive, and may grunt, lunge, and even bite as well as scratch. Usually they do not bite hard enough to break skin. Rabbits become aggressive when they feel threatened or are cornered. Non-neutered rabbits may also act aggressively as part of mating behavior or out of protectiveness of their young. Rabbits are most likely to develop aggressive behaviors at the onset of sexual maturity if not spayed/neutered.\n\nRabbits' propensity for chewing on electrical cords can lead to electrocution and fire hazards, so keepers hide cables or cover them with flexible clear tubing if they are within range of their rabbits.\n\nSome sources suggest that it may not be a good idea to keep rabbits in close proximity with rodents. Guinea pigs in particular are susceptible to respiratory disease from bacteria that rabbits carry. Additionally, rabbits may harm small rodents sharing their territory.\n" "Commercial rabbitry" "\n\n===Meat rabbits===\nhutch, as a supplementary food source, during the Great Depression\n\nBreeds such as the New Zealand and Californian are frequently utilized for meat in commercial rabbitries. These breeds have efficient metabolisms and grow quickly; they are ready for slaughter by approximately 14 to 16 weeks of age.\n\nRabbit fryers are rabbits that are between 70 and 90 days of age, and weighing between 3 and 5\u00a0lb (1 to 2\u00a0kg) live weight. Rabbit roasters are rabbits from 90 days to 6 months of age weighing between 5 and 8\u00a0lb (2 to 3.5\u00a0kg) live weight. Rabbit stewers are rabbits from 6 months on weighing over 8\u00a0lb.\n\nAny type of rabbit can be slaughtered for meat, but those exhibiting the \"commercial\" body type are most commonly raised for meat purposes. Dark fryers (any other color but albino whites) are sometimes lower in price than albino fryers because of the slightly darker tinge of the fryer (purely pink carcasses are preferred by consumers) and because the hide is harder to remove manually than the white albino fryers.\n\n===Wool rabbits===\nRabbits such as the Angora, American Fuzzy Lop, and Jersey Wooly produce wool. However, since the American Fuzzy Lop and Jersey Wooly are both dwarf breeds, only the much larger Angora breeds such as the English Angora, Satin Angora, Giant Angora, and French Angoras are used for commercial wool production. Their long fur is sheared, combed, or plucked (gently pulling loose hairs from the body during molting) and then spun into yarn used to make a variety of products. Angora sweaters can be purchased in many clothing stores and is generally mixed with other types of wool. Rabbit wool, called Angora, is 2.5 times warmer than sheep's wool.\n\n===Fur rabbits===\nDried rabbit pelts\nAll rabbits produce fur. Rabbits such as the Palomino, Satin, Chinchilla rabbit and Rex rabbit are commonly raised for fur. Each breed has unique coloring and fur characteristics. The rabbit is fed a diet especially balanced for fur production and is harvested when the pelts have reached prime condition, at an older age than would be optimal for meat production. Rabbit fur is widely used throughout the world. China imports much of its fur from Scandinavia (80%) and North America (5%) according to the USDA Foreign Agricultural Service GAIN Report CH7607.\n\n===Laboratory rabbits===\nRabbits have been and continue to be used in laboratory work such as production of antibodies for vaccines and research of human male reproductive system toxicology. In 1972, around 450,000 rabbits were used for experiments in the United States, decreasing to around 240 000 in 2006. The Environmental Health Perspective, published by the National Institute of Health, states, \"The rabbit is an extremely valuable model for studying the effects of chemicals or other stimuli on the male reproductive system.\" According to the Humane Society of the United States, rabbits are also used extensively in the study of bronchial asthma, stroke prevention treatments, cystic fibrosis, diabetes, and cancer.\n\nThe New Zealand White is one of the most commonly used breeds for research and testing.\n\nAnimal rights activists generally oppose animal experimentation for all purposes, and rabbits are no exception. The use of rabbits for the Draize test, which is used for, amongst other things, testing cosmetics on animals, has been cited as an example of cruelty in animal research. Albino rabbits are typically used in the Draize tests because they have less tear flow than other animals, and the lack of eye pigment makes the effects easier to visualize.\n\n===Housing===\n\nRabbits being raised on pasture at Polyface Farm\ncondo\" offers a house rabbit a degree of hopping space and variety even when not free in rabbit-proofed areas at home.\nRabbits can live outdoors in properly constructed, sheltered hutches, which provide protection from the elements in winter and keep rabbits cool in summer heat. To protect from predators, rabbit hutches are usually situated in a fenced yard, shed, barn, or other enclosed structure, which may also contain a larger pen for exercise. Rabbits in such an environment can alternatively be allowed to roam the secured area freely, and simply be provided with an adapted doghouse for shelter. A more elaborate setup is an artificial warren.\n\nAn appropriate hutch provides clean water at all times, and is at least high enough for the rabbit to stand on its back legs without its head touching the ceiling, and horizontally roomy enough to enable the rabbit to take 4 or 5 hops along its length and/or width. The hutch is shaded or otherwise appropriately cooled in summer. It may be heated in winter (although most rabbits, and especially the larger breeds, can be kept outside, with extra bedding, even into temperatures well below freezing, as long as they have a source of unfrozen water. Cages are grouped and covered to increase ambient temperature. Even newborn rabbits do well in a cold environment if they have sufficient nesting material and many siblings to share body heat with, but should stay with the mother for longer periods of time in the winter for warmth. Below -10 degrees Celsius (15 degrees Fahrenheit), it is necessary to shelter all the animals indoors. Domesticated rabbits are most comfortable in temperatures between 10\u201321 C (50\u201370 F), and cannot endure temperatures above 32 C (90 F) very well without assistance, such as deep shade, cooled stones, frozen water bottles, and/or fans.\n\nHousing is cleaned regularly to ensure that no build-up of feces or urine occurs, as this can lead to health problems. Solid rabbit waste can be measured in cubic yards per year. This waste is excellent for gardening and composting, and can be collected for these uses whether the rabbit is housed indoors or outdoors. Rabbit droppings are often put in bins with red worms to create the compost, added to compost bins for enrichment of other compost, or applied directly to a garden as a \"cool\" fertilizer that will not chemically burn plants.\n" "Exhibition" "Checkered Giant at an exhibition\n\n===Conformation shows===\nShow rabbits are an increasingly popular activity. Showing rabbits helps to improve the vigor and physical behavior of each breed through competitive selection. County fairs are common venues through which rabbits are shown in the United States and many other countries. Rabbit clubs at local to national levels hold many shows each year. On any given weekend one may be able to find a show in most regions of the United States and the United Kingdom. Although only purebred animals are shown, a pedigree is not required to enter a rabbit in show sanctioned by the American Rabbit Breeders Association show but is required to register a rabbit with the ARBA.; a rabbit must be registered in order to receive a Grand Champion certificate. Children's clubs such as 4-H also include rabbit shows, usually in conjunction with county fairs. The ARBA holds an annual national convention which has as many as 25,000 animals competing form all over the world. The national show moves to a different city each year. The ARBA also sponsors youth programs for families as well as underprivileged rural and inner city children to learn responsible care and breeding of domestic rabbits.\n\n===Show jumping===\n\n\nRabbit show jumping, a form of animal sport between rabbits, began in the 1970s and has since become popular in Europe, particularly Sweden and the United Kingdom. Any rabbit regardless of breed may participate in this kind of competition, as it is based on athletic skill.\n" "Health" "\nDisease is rare when rabbits are raised in sanitary conditions and provided with adequate care. Rabbits have fragile bones, especially in their spines, and need support on the belly or bottom when they are picked up.\n\nSpayed or neutered rabbits kept indoors with proper care may have a lifespan of 8 to 12 years, with mixed-breed rabbits typically living longer than purebred specimens, and dwarf breeds having longer average lifespans than larger breeds. The world record for longest-lived rabbit is 18 years.\n\nRabbits will gnaw on almost anything, including electrical cords (possibly leading to electrocution), potentially poisonous plants, and material like carpet and fabric that may cause life-threatening intestinal blockages, so areas to which they have access need to be rabbit-proofed.\n\n===Veterinary care===\nRabbits visit the vet for routine check ups, vaccination, and when ill or injured. Veterinarians who have experience with rabbits, desirable for regular health checkups, can be difficult to locate. However, most emergency medical situations involving pets require the same treatment regardless of the animal's species. Some veterinary surgeons have a special interest in rabbits and some have extra qualifications. In the UK, the following postgraduate qualifications demonstrate specialist training in rabbits: Certificate in Zoological Medicine, Diploma in Zoological Medicine and Recognised specialist in Rabbit Medicine and Surgery.\n\nSome of the conditions that can occur in domestic rabbits include the following: dramatic or sudden loss of appetite, severe depression, breathing problems, sudden onset of head tilt, signs of maggot infestation, not passing stools. Rabbits can also be exposed to poisons, involved in an accident, fall from a height or be exposed to smoke. Other conditions which indicate a need for medical treatment are drooling, unexplained weight loss, diarrhea or fur loss. There are many other symptoms for which a rabbit requires medical aid or veterinary attention.\n\n===Routine checkups===\nRoutine check ups usually involve assessment of weight, skin, health and teeth by the owner or a veterinarian. This is essential because a rabbit's health and welfare can be compromised by being overweight or underweight or by having dental problems. Checking the teeth is particularly important part of the examination as back teeth can only be seen with an otoscope. Veterinarians can also give personalized advice on diet and exercise.\n\n===Vaccinations===\nIn most jurisdictions, including the United States (except were required by local animal control ordinances), rabbits do not require vaccination. In the United Kingdom, all rabbits are required to be regularly vaccinated against rabbit hemorrhagic disease and myxomatosis. These vaccinations are usually given annually, two weeks apart. If there is an outbreak of myxomatosis locally, this vaccine can be administered every six months for extra protection. Myxomatosis immunizations are not available in all countries, including Australia, due to fears that immunity will pass on to feral rabbits. However, they are recommended by some veterinarians as prophylactics, where they are legally available.\n\n===Spaying and neutering===\nRabbit fancier organizations and veterinarians recommend that pet rabbits be neutered or spayed by a rabbit-experienced veterinarian. Health advantages of neutering and spaying include increased longevity, and for females, a reduced risk of ovarian and uterine cancer and endometritis. Neutering and spaying also reduces territorial marking in males, and aggression toward other rabbits. Risks associated with spaying a rabbit include infection of the surgical site, and death from anesthesia.\n\n===Parasitic fungus===\nSome vets now recommend treating rabbits against the ''Encephalitozoon cuniculi'', a parasitic, microscopic fungus. Some studies have indicated that in the UK over 50% of rabbits may be infected with ''E. cuniculi''. The usual drugs for treatment and prevention of this infection are the benzimidazole anthelmintics, particularly fenbendazole, also used as a deworming agent in other species of animal, and shown to be effective in treating this condition in rabbits. In the UK, it is sold over-the-counter in oral paste form as a nine-day treatment for rabbits under the brand name Panacur Rabbit. Fenbendazole is particularly recommended for rabbits kept in colonies and before mixing new rabbits with each other. ''E. cuniculi'' is the primary cause of \"wry neck\".\n\n===Fly strike===\nFly strike is a rare condition which mostly affects rabbits kept in extremely unsanitary conditions and is more likely to occur during summer months. Fly strike happens when flies (particularly the botfly) lay their eggs in the damp or soiled fur or in an open wound of a rabbit. Within 12 hours, the eggs hatch into the larva; stage of the fly, known as maggots. The maggots, initially small and almost invisible to the naked eye, can burrow into the skin of the rabbit and feed on the animal's tissue. Within 3\u20134 days, the larvae can be large as 15\u00a0mm long. In rare cases, if not treated, the rabbit can pass into shock and die. The most susceptible animals are those living in unsanitary housing, older rabbits that do not move much, and those that are unable to clean their bottom areas carefully. Rabbits raised on solid floors are more susceptible than rabbits raised on wire floors. Rabbits exhibiting one or more episodes of diarrhea are often inspected, especially during the summer months. In 2002, the medicine Rearguard was approved in the United Kingdom for 10-week-per-application prevention of fly strike.\n\n===Viral diseases===\nRabbits are subject to infection by a variety of viruses.\n\nMyxomatosis is a threat to the health of pet and livestock rabbits. Rabbits caged outdoors in Australia are vulnerable in areas with high numbers of mosquitoes. In Europe, fleas are the carriers of myxomatosis. In some countries, annual vaccinations against myxomatosis are available. In Australia, myxomatosis was intentionally introduced into the feral population of European rabbits (which have become an invasive species) as a means of population control. The Australian government will not allow veterinarians to purchase and use the vaccine that would protect domestic rabbits, for fear that this immunity would be spread into the wild by escaped livestock and pets. This is also the motivation for the pet-rabbit ban in Queensland.\n\nRabbit hemorrhagic disease (RHD), also known as viral hemorrhagic disease (VHD) or rabbit calicivirus disease (RCD), is caused by a rabbit-specific calicivirus known as RHDV or RCV, discovered in 1983. It is highly infectious, and usually fatal. Outward signs are not obvious and usually include little but a fever and lethargy, until after significant internal organ damage results in labored breathing, squealing, bloody mucus, and eventual coma and death. Internally, the infection causes necrosis of the liver and damages other organs, especially the spleen, kidneys, and small intestine. Vaccines are available (and mandatory) in the UK, but often not available elsewhere .\n\nLike myxomatosis, RHD has been introduced into feral populations intentionally, especially in Australia and (illegally) in New Zealand, to thin their numbers, and it has escaped quarantine in some areas. The disease has killed tens of millions of rabbits in China (unintentionally) and Australia, with other epidemics reported in Bolivia, Mexico, South Korea, and continental Europe. Outbreaks have been successfully controlled in the United States (where it was still occasionally reported ) and the UK. Populations in New Zealand have bounced back after developing a genetic immunity, and the disease has no effect on native wild rabbit and hare species in the Americas, which are not closely related to the Old World rabbits.\n\nWest Nile virus is another threat to rabbits. This is a fatal disease, and while vaccines are available, they are not specifically indicated for rabbits. Recourse against the disease includes limiting the number of mosquitoes that are around pet rabbits.\n\n===Sore hocks===\nThe formation of open sores on the rabbit's hocks, commonly called \"sore hocks\", is a problem that commonly afflicts mostly heavy-weight rabbits kept in cages with wire flooring or soiled solid flooring. The problem is most prevalent in rex-furred rabbits and heavy-weight rabbits (9+ pounds in weight), as well as those with thin foot bristles.\n\nThe condition results when, over the course of time, the protective bristle-like fur on the rabbit's hocks thins down. Standing urine or other unsanitary cage conditions can exacerbate the problem by irritating the sensitive skin. The exposed skin in turn can result in tender areas or, in severe cases, open sores, which may then become infected and abscessed if not properly cared for.\n\nMost rabbits can live safely on wire floors with the provision of a resting board or mat. Ultra heavy-weight breeds such as Flemish Giants or Checkered Giants are best raised on solid or partially solid flooring. Alternatively, plastic-floored cages can be used in place of wire floors to provide more comfort.\n\n===Respiratory and conjunctival problems===\nAn over-diagnosed ailment amongst rabbits is respiratory infection, known colloquially as \"snuffles\". ''Pasteurella'', a bacterium, is usually misdiagnosed and this is known to be a factor in the overuse of antibiotics among rabbits. A runny nose, for instance, can have several causes, among those being high temperature or humidity, extreme stress, environmental pollution (like perfume or incense), or a sinus infection. Options for treating this is removing the pollutant, lowering or raising the temperature accordingly, and medical treatment for sinus infections. ''Pasteurella'' does live naturally in a rabbit's respiratory tract, and it can flourish out of control in some cases. In the rare event that happens, antibiotic treatment is necessary.\n\nSneezing can be a sign of environmental pollution (such as too much dust) or a food allergy.\n\nRunny eyes and other conjunctival problems can be caused by dental disease or a blockage of the tear duct. Environmental pollution, corneal disease, entropion, distichiasis, or inflammation of the eyes are also causes. This is easy to diagnose as well as treat.\n\n===Wry neck===\nInner ear infections, certain parasites, strokes, or other diseases or injuries affecting the brain or inner ear can lead to a condition known as \"wry neck\" or \"head tilt.\" Although a heavy infestation of ear mites, an ear infection, or a head or neck injury can result in these symptoms, the most common cause of these symptoms is ''E. cuniculi'', a parasite . This condition can be fatal, due to a disorientation that causes the animal to stop eating and drinking.\n\n===Dental problems===\nMalocclusion\nDental disease has several causes, namely genetics, inappropriate diet, injury to the jaw, infection, or cancer.\n\n* Malocclusion: Rabbit teeth are open-rooted and continue to grow throughout their lives. In some rabbits, the teeth are not properly aligned, a condition called ''malocclusion''. Because of the misaligned nature of the rabbit's teeth, there is no normal wear to control the length to which the teeth grow. There are three main causes of malocclusion, most commonly genetic predisposition, injury, or bacterial infection. In the case of congenital malocclusion, treatment usually involves veterinary visits in which the teeth are treated with a dental burr (a procedure called crown reduction or, more commonly, teeth clipping) or, in some cases, permanently removed. In cases of simple malocclusion, a block of wood for the rabbit to chew on can rectify this problem.\n* Molar spurs: These are spurs that can dig into the rabbit's tongue and/or cheek causing pain. These should be filed down by an experienced exotic veterinarian specialised in rabbit care, using a dental burr, for example.\n* Osteoporosis: Rabbits, especially neutered females and those that are kept indoors without adequate natural sunlight, can suffer from osteoporosis, in which holes appear in the skull by X-Ray imaging. This reflects the general thinning of the bone, and teeth will start to become looser in the sockets, making it uncomfortable and painful for the animal to chew hay. The inability to properly chew hay can result in molar spurs, as described above, and weight loss, leading into a downward spiral if not treated promptly. This can be reversible and treatable. A veterinary formulated liquid calcium supplement with vitamin D3 and magnesium can be given mixed with the rabbit's drinking water, once or twice per week, according to the veterinarian's instructions. The molar spurs should also be trimmed down by an experienced exotic veterinarian specialised in rabbit care, once per 1-2 months depending on the case.\n\nSigns of dental difficulty include difficulty eating, weight loss and small stools and visibly overgrown teeth. However, there are many other causes of ptyalism, including pain due to other causes. A visit to an experienced rabbit veterinarian is strongly recommended in the case of a wet chin, or excessive grooming of the mouth area.\n\n===Gastrointestinal stasis===\nGastrointestinal stasis (GI stasis) is a serious and potentially fatal condition that occurs in some rabbits in which gut motility is severely reduced and possibly completely stopped. When untreated or improperly treated, GI stasis can be fatal in as little as 24 hours.\n\nGI stasis is the condition of food not moving through the gut as quickly as normal. The gut contents may dehydrate and compact into a hard, immobile mass (impacted gut), blocking the digestive tract of the rabbit. Food in an immobile gut may also ferment, causing significant gas buildup and resultant gas pain for the rabbit.\n\nThe first noticeable symptom of GI stasis may be that the rabbit suddenly stops eating. Treatment frequently includes intravenous or subcutaneous fluid therapy (rehydration through injection of a balanced electrolyte solution), pain control, possible careful massage to promote gas expulsion and comfort, drugs to promote gut motility, and careful monitoring of all inputs and outputs. The rabbit's diet may also be changed as part of treatment, to include force-feeding to ensure adequate nutrition. Surgery to remove the blockage is not generally recommended and comes with a poor prognosis.\n\nSome rabbits are more prone to GI stasis than others. The causes of GI stasis are not completely understood, but common contributing factors are thought to include stress, reduced food intake, low fiber in the diet, dehydration and reduction in exercise. Stress factors can include changes in housing, transportation, or medical procedures under anesthesia. As many of these factors may occur together (poor dental structure leading to decreased food intake, followed by a stressful veterinary dental procedure to correct the dental problem) establishing a root cause may be difficult.\n\nGI stasis is sometimes misdiagnosed as \"hair balls\" by veterinarians or rabbit keepers not familiar with the condition. While fur is commonly found in the stomach following a fatal case of GI stasis, it is also found in healthy rabbits. Molting and chewing fur can be a predisposing factor in the occurrence of GI stasis, however, the primary cause is the change in motility of the gut.\n\n===Tonic immobility===\nCoping with stress is a key aspect of rabbit behavior, and this can be traced to part of the brain known as ventral tegmental area (VTA). Dopaminergic neurons in this part of the brain release the hormone dopamine, generalized as a \"feel-good\" hormone. In humans, dopamine is released through a variety of acts, including sexual activity, substance abuse, and even eating chocolate. However, in rabbits, it is released as part of a coping mechanism while in a heightened state of fear or stress, and has a calming effect. Dopamine has also been found in the rabbit's medial prefrontal cortex, the nucleus accumbens, and the amygdala. Physiological and behavioral responses to human-induced tonic immobility (TI, sometimes termed \"trancing\" or \"playing dead\") have been found to be indicative of a fear-motivated stress state, confirming that the promotion of TI to try to increase a bond between rabbits and their owners\u2014thinking the rabbits enjoy it\u2014is misplaced. However, some researchers conclude that inducing TI in rabbits is appropriate for certain procedures, as it holds less risk than anesthesia.\n\n===Declawing===\nA rabbit cannot be declawed. Lacking pads on the bottoms of its feet, a rabbit requires its claws for balance. Removing its claws would render it unable to stand.\n" "See also" "\n\n*Rabbit\n*Cuniculture\n*Dwarf rabbit\n*Rabbit show jumping\n" "References" "\n" "Further reading" "*\n" "External links" "* The American Rabbit Breeders Association \u2013 the oldest and largest rabbit specialist organization in the United States\n* The Livestock Conservancy \u2013 a registry of the rarest breeds of domestic rabbits\n* World Rabbit Science Association \u2013 an international science organization dedicated to rabbit health research\n* The British Rabbit Council \u2013 recognized breeds with photographs and more\n* MediRabbit \u2013 a site dedicated to spreading the knowledge of rabbit medicine and safe medication in rabbits, for the owner and the vet professional\n* Rabbit Breeds - directory of ARBA-recognized breeds of rabbit\n* RabbitPedia.com - Source for information about rabbit care. \n* House Rabbit Society \u2013 a US-based educational and advocacy organization for rabbit pet-keepers, founded in 1988\n*\n\n\n\n\n\n\n"
"Down The Rabbit Hole (festival)" "Introduction" "\n\n'''Down The Rabbit Hole''' ('''DRTH''') is a three-day music festival that takes place in the Groene Heuvels leisure area in the village of Ewijk (near Nijmegen) in the Netherlands.

"Drumcondra F.C." "Introduction" "\n\n'''Drumcondra Football Club''' is an Irish association football club based in the Clonturk district of Drumcondra, Dublin. Their senior team play in the Leinster Senior League Senior Division. Drumcondra also field teams in the Amateur Football League, the North Dublin Schoolboys/Girls League and the Dublin & District Schoolboys League.\n\nIn 1926\u201327 Drumcondra were the inaugural winners of the FAI Intermediate Cup and in the same season they also won the FAI Cup. They subsequently played in the League of Ireland from 1928\u201329 until 1971\u201372. During this time they won five League of Ireland titles and a further four FAI Cups. In 1972 they merged with their Northside, Dublin neighbours, Home Farm. The new club was briefly known as '''Home Farm-Drumcondra'''. The modern club was reformed in 2008 following the merger of '''Drumcondra A.F.C.''' and '''Drumcondra Athletic'''.\n" "History" "\n===Early years===\nWithin just a few seasons of their foundation, Drumcondra came to national prominence. In 1926\u201327, while playing in the Leinster Senior League and with a team that included Joe Grace and Johnny Murray, Drums won the inaugural FAI Intermediate Cup. They then completed a cup double by also winning the 1926\u201327 FAI Cup. In the FAI Intermediate Cup final they defeated Cobh Ramblers while in the FAI Cup final they defeated Brideville. In 1927\u201328 Drums won the Leinster Senior League and also reached the\n1927\u201328 FAI Cup final.\n\n===League of Ireland=== \nIn 1928\u201329 Drumcondra made their League of Ireland debut and finished a respectable fourth in their first season. However Drums would have to wait until the late 1940s before they won their first league title. Then with a team that included, among others, Benny Henderson, Dessie Glynn, Chris Giles, Kevin Clarke, Kit Lawlor and Tim Coffey, they won two in a row in 1947\u201348 and 1948\u201349.\n\nIn 1953 Sam Prole, a wealthy man from Dundalk who had made his money from the Great Northern Railway, bought Drumcondra from the Hunter family. Prole introduced pitch-side advertising and installed floodlights at Tolka Park. As a result, Drumcondra became the first League of Ireland club to have floodlights. \n\n====Season placings====\n\n\n*1928\u201329\u00a0\u2013 4\n*1929\u201330\u00a0\u2013 7\n*1930\u201331\u00a0\u2013 11\n*1931\u201332\u00a0\u2013 9\n*1932\u201333\u00a0\u2013 10\n*1933\u201334\u00a0\u2013 7\n*1934\u201335\u00a0\u2013 9\n*1935\u201336\u00a0\u2013 9\n*1936\u201337\u00a0\u2013 6\n*1937\u201338\u00a0\u2013 12\n*1938\u201339\u00a0\u2013 8\n\u00a0\n\n*1939\u201340\u00a0\u2013 6\n*1940\u201341\u00a0\u2013 6\n*1941\u201342\u00a0\u2013 9\n*1942\u201343\u00a0\u2013 3\n*1943\u201344\u00a0\u2013 6\n*1944\u201345\u00a0\u2013 4\n*1945\u201346\u00a0\u2013 2\n*1946\u201347\u00a0\u2013 2\n*1947\u201348\u00a0\u2013 1\n*1948\u201349\u00a0\u2013 1\n*1949\u201350\u00a0\u2013 2\n\u00a0\n\n*1950\u201351\u00a0\u2013 3\n*1951\u201352\u00a0\u2013 6\n*1952\u201353\u00a0\u2013 2\n*1953\u201354\u00a0\u2013 3\n*1954\u201355\u00a0\u2013 6\n*1955\u201356\u00a0\u2013 8\n*1956\u201357\u00a0\u2013 2\n*1957\u201358\u00a0\u2013 1\n*1958\u201359\u00a0\u2013 5\n*1959\u201360\u00a0\u2013 9\n*1960\u201361\u00a0\u2013 1\n\u00a0\n\n*1961\u201362\u00a0\u2013 7\n*1962\u201363\u00a0\u2013 3\n*1963\u201364\u00a0\u2013 8\n*1964\u201365\u00a0\u2013 1\n*1965\u201366\u00a0\u2013 7\n*1966\u201367\u00a0\u2013 8\n*1967\u201368\u00a0\u2013 7\n*1968\u201369\u00a0\u2013 9\n*1969\u201370\u00a0\u2013 14\n*1970\u201371\u00a0\u2013 14\n*1971\u201372\u00a0\u2013 12\n\n\n====Statistics====\n\n\n Stat\n Opponent\n Score\n Competition\n Date\n\n '''Biggest League Win'''\n Sligo Rovers\n 8\u20130\n 1960\u201361 League of Ireland\n 22 January 1961\n\n '''Biggest League Defeat'''\n Cork United\n 1\u20139\n 1945\u201346 League of Ireland\n 13 January 1946\n\n\n===Rivalry with Shamrock Rovers===\nDuring their time in the League of Ireland Drumcondra enjoyed a strong rivalry with Shamrock Rovers. In 1928\u201329 when Drums made their League of Ireland debut, their first opponents were Rovers. This first meeting between Drums and Rovers ended in a 1\u20131 draw. During the 1940s and 1950s large crowds gathered to see the Northside/Southside derby fixtures between the two clubs. During this time Drumcondra played Rovers in four FAI Cup finals in 1946, 1948, 1955 and 1957. The two clubs shared the honours, winning two finals each. In 1946 with a team that featured Con Martin, Robin Lawler, Kevin Clarke and Jimmy Lawlor, Drums won their third FAI Cup final after defeating Rovers 2\u20131 with goals from Tommy McCormack and Benny Henderson. The rivalry reached its peak during the late 1950s. At the time Drums squad included, among others, Alan Kelly, John O'Neill\nand Kit Lawlor. The 1956\u201357 season saw Rovers win the League of Ireland title, while Drums finished second. The opening game of the League of Ireland season saw the two teams meet at Tolka Park. The venue was packed to capacity with a crowd of 15,000. Rovers defeated Drums 2\u20130 in the Leinster Senior Cup final and then won the Dublin City Cup final on corners. However Drums defeated Rovers 2\u20130 in the 1956\u201357 FAI Cup final, thanks to goals from Bunny Fullam and Willie Coleman, and then 3\u20130 in the semi-final of the Top Four Cup a week later. A crowd of 20,000 turned up on 26 December 1956 to watch the Leinster Senior Cup final. The FAI Cup final on 28 April 1957 saw an attendance of 30,000 while the Top Four semi-final on 5 May 1957 was watched by 16,845. All three games were played at Dalymount Park. The rivalry continued into the 1957\u201358 season with Rovers and Drums meeting in the finals of the Leinster Senior Cup, the Top Four Cup, the Dublin City Cup and the LFA President's Cup. Rovers won all four. However Drums did finish the season as League of Ireland champions, finishing two points clear of second placed Rovers. Drums and Rovers games continued to attract large crowds and on occasions this created some issues. On 26 January 1958 the first-ever all ticket League of Ireland game between Drums and Rovers had to be abandoned, after sixty-five minutes, after thousands of ticketless fans forced their way into an already packed Tolka Park. This in turn led to crowd encroachment on the pitch. Rovers were leading 2\u20131 at the time and the result was allowed to stand. In 1964\u201365 when Drums won their fifth League of Ireland title they finished one point clear of runners-up Rovers.\n\n===Drumcondra in Europe===\nDrumcondra qualified for European football on five occasions during the late 1950s and early 1960s. They made their home European debut on 1 October 1958 in a European Cup against Atl\u00e9tico Madrid at Dalymount Park. They had already lost the away leg 8\u20130 and would subsequently lose the home leg 5\u20131. The highlight of their European adventures came in the 1962\u201363 Inter-Cities Fairs Cup. Drums became the first League of Ireland side to register an aggregate win in European competition when they knocked out an Odense XI in the first round. In the second round they were beaten 6\u20130 away by Bayern Munich in the first leg. However, in the return game they earned a 1\u20130 win with Billy Dixon scoring the winning goal.\n\n\nSeason/Competition!!Round!!Team!!First leg!!Home!!Away\n\n1958\u201359 European Cup\nPrel\nAtl\u00e9tico Madrid\nA\n1\u20135\n0\u20138\n\n1961\u201362 European Cup\nPrel\n 1.

In both 1969\u201370 and 1970\u201371 Drums finished last place in the league. They were also \u00a36,000 in debt. At the end of the 1971\u201372 season the team was effectively taken over by Home Farm when, after almost twenty years in charge, Sam Prole agreed to sell the club. Drums final league game in their own right was a 1\u20131 draw with Shelbourne at Tolka Park on 5 April 1972. It was announced by Brendan Menton Sr., Home Farm honorary secretary, that the amateur club had taken over the entire share capital of their professional neighbouring club. During the 1972\u201373 season the side played as '''Home Farm-Drumcondra''', however within a season the Drumcondra name was dropped and from the start of 1973\u201374 the side simply became Home Farm. Sam Prole subsequently became involved with Dundalk F.C. and a number of former Drumcondra players including Shay Noonan, Johnny Robinson, Willie Coleman, Ned Halpin and Tommy Rowe joined him at the Oriel Park club.\n\n===Revival===\nThe modern Drumcondra F.C. was effectively formed in 2008 following the merger of '''Drumcondra A.F.C.''' and '''Drumcondra Athletic'''. The two Leinster Senior League clubs had both previously claimed to be the rightful successor of the original Drumcondra F.C. club. Drumcondra A.F.C. was formed in the 1970s, not long after the demise of the original club. However, by the early 2000s they had relocated to Santry, playing their home games at Morton Stadium. They reached the third round of the 2004 FAI Cup but lost 5\u20130 to UCD. Meanwhile, Drumcondra Athletic were formed in the 1990s and trained and played in the suburb.\n" "Home grounds" "During their time in the League of Ireland, Drumcondra played their home games at Tolka Park. In more recent seasons they have played at Morton Stadium. They currently play at a number of local pitches based at Clonturk Park, Dominican College, Johnstown Park and Albert College Park.\n" "Team colours" "Drumcondra's colours are essentially blue and gold/yellow. In their later seasons in the League of Ireland they also played in a sky blue strip. At various times they wore blue/gold hoops with white shorts before adopting a more modern European style gold with a blue v-neck and blue shorts in 1954.\n" "Notable former players" "\n;Dual Ireland internationals\n* Tom Davis\n* Peter Kavanagh\n* Con Martin\n\n;Republic of Ireland internationals\nJohnny Murray represented Ireland at the 1924 Summer Olympics before joining Drumcondra. In 1926, Joe Grace became the first player to represent Ireland while playing for Drumcondra. The club were still playing in the Leinster Senior League at the time. In the 1930s Paddy Byrne, Tommy Donnelly, Freddie Hutchinson and Paddy Meehan also represented Ireland while playing for Drumcondra. After the Second World War, Tim Coffey, Dessie Glynn, Benny Henderson, Alan Kelly and Fran Brennan were added to this list.\n\n\n\n\n* Paddy Andrews\n* Fran Brennan\n* Paddy Byrne\n* Kevin Clarke\n* Tim Coffey\n* Tommy Donnelly\n* Bobby Duffy\n* Amby Fogarty\n* Bobby Gilbert\n* Chris Giles\n\n\n* Dessie Glynn\n* Joe Grace\n* Eoin Hand\n* Joe Haverty\n* Benny Henderson\n* Freddie Hutchinson\n* Alan Kelly\n* Fred Kiernan\n* Kit Lawlor\n\n\n* Robin Lawler\n* Maxie McCann\n* Paddy Meehan\n* Johnny Murray\n* Lar O'Byrne\n* John O'Neill\n* Mick Smyth\n* Maurice Swan\n* Fran Watters\n\n\n;League of Ireland XI representative\n* Mick Cahill\n* Eamonn Darcy\n* Billy Dixon\n\n;Ireland (IFA) internationals\n* Tucker Croft\n* Billy Millar\n\n;Scotland internationals\n* Alex Parker\n* Gordon Smith\n\n;Goalscorers\nOn two occasions Drumcondra players finished as the League of Ireland Top Scorer.\n* Dessie Glynn: 1950\u201351\u00a0\u2013 20\n* Dan McCaffrey: 1960\u201361\u00a0\u2013 29 \nGlynn was also Drumcondra's all-time top goalscorer with 96 goals between 1948 and 1956.\n" "Notable former managers" "* Billy Behan\n* Christy Giles\n* Amby Fogarty\n" "Honours" "*'''League of Ireland: 5'''\n**1947\u201348, 1948\u201349, 1957\u201358, 1960\u201361, 1964\u201365\n*'''FAI Cup: 5'''\n** 1926\u201327, 1942\u201343, 1945\u201346, 1953\u201354, 1956\u201357\n*'''League of Ireland Shield: 4'''\n**1945\u201346, 1946\u201347, 1950\u201351, 1961\u201362\n*'''LFA President's Cup: 7'''\n**1946\u201347, 1947\u201348, 1949\u201350, 1950\u201351, 1958\u201359, 1961\u201362, 1966\u201367 \n*'''Dublin City Cup: 6'''\n**1939\u201340, 1940\u201341, 1949\u201350, 1950\u201351, 1951\u201352, 1960\u201361\n*'''Leinster Senior League: 4'''\n**1927\u201328, 1928\u201329, 1945\u201346, 1951\u201352\n*'''Leinster Senior Cup: 11'''\n**1933\u201334, 1935\u201336, 1938\u201339, 1942\u201343, 1943\u201344, 1944\u201345, 1949\u201350, 1953\u201354, 1958\u201359, 1959\u201360, 1962\u201362\n*'''FAI Intermediate Cup: 2'''\n**1926\u201327, 1946\u201347\n*'''FAI Junior Cup'''\n**''Winners'': 1938\u201339, 1939\u201340: '''2'''\n" "External links" "* Drumcondra FC Official Website\n" "References" "\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n"
"DuBose Heyward" "Introduction" "Porgy'' (1927)\n'''Edwin DuBose Heyward''' (August 31, 1885 \u2013 June 16, 1940) was an American author best known for his 1925 novel ''Porgy'', which was adapted by his wife Dorothy into a 1927 play. The stage ''Porgy'' inspired the 1935 opera ''Porgy and Bess'' with music by George Gershwin, which was later adapted into a 1959 film. Heyward also wrote poetry and other novels and plays, as well as the children's book ''The Country Bunny and the Little Gold Shoes'' (1939).\n" "Childhood, education, and early career" "Heyward was born in 1885 in Charleston, South Carolina. He was a descendant of Judge Thomas Heyward, Jr., a South Carolina signer of the United States Declaration of Independence.\n\nAs a child and young man, Heyward was frequently ill. He contracted polio when he was eighteen, then two years later contracted typhoid fever and the following year fell ill with pleurisy. Although he described himself as \"a miserable student\" who was uninterested in learning, and dropped out of high school in his first year at age fourteen, he had a lifelong and serious interest in literature. He passed the time in his sickbed writing verses and stories.\n\nIn 1913 Heyward wrote a one-act play, ''An Artistic Triumph'', which was produced in a local theater. Although a derivative work which reportedly showed little promise, this minor success encouraged him to pursue a literary career. In 1917, while convalescing from his illnesses, he began to work seriously at fiction and poetry. In 1918 his first published short story, \"The Brute,\" appeared in ''Pagan, a Magazine for Eudaemonists''.\n\nThe next year he met Hervey Allen, who was then teaching at the nearby Porter Military Academy. They became close friends and formed the Poetry Society of South Carolina, which helped spark a revival of southern literature. Heyward edited the society's yearbooks until 1924 and contributed much of their content. His poetry was well received, earning him a \"Contemporary Verse\" award in 1921.\n\nIn 1922 he and Allen jointly published a collection, ''Carolina Chansons: Legends of the Low Country,'' and they jointly edited an issue of ''Poetry'' magazine featuring Southern writers. During this period Heyward and a friend, Henry T. O'Neill, had operated a successful insurance and real estate company.\n" "Marriage and family" "Heyward and his wife Dorothy, whom he met at the MacDowell Colony in 1922, spent many years in Charleston. Their only child, Jenifer Dubose Heyward, was born in 1930 in New York and became a sculptor, actress and member of the Ballet Russe de Monte Carlo. She married Judson Wood Jr., and died in 1984.\n" "Career as full-time writer" "By 1924, Heyward had achieved a measure of financial independence, allowing him to give up business and devote himself full-time to literature. That year he published his first poetry collection, ''Jasbo Brown and Other Poems'' (1924). Between stints of writing, he supplemented his income by lecturing on southern literature at colleges and the Porter Military Academy.\n\nOpening on Broadway in 1927, the non-musical play ''Porgy'' was a considerable success, more so than the Gershwin opera ''Porgy and Bess'' (1935) produced eight years later. The plot line of the opera follows the play almost exactly, while both differ greatly from the novel, particularly in the ending. Large sections of dialogue from the play were set to music for the recitatives in the opera.\n\nDescribing Heyward's achievement in ''Porgy'', the African-American poet and playwright Langston Hughes said Heyward was one who saw \"with his white eyes, wonderful, poetic qualities in the inhabitants of Catfish Row that makes them come alive.\" Heyward's biographer James M. Hutchisson characterizes ''Porgy'' as \"the first major southern novel to portray blacks without condescension\" and states that the libretto to ''Porgy and Bess'' was largely Heyward's work. Many critics have believed that Heyward was sympathetic in his portrayal of the Southern black. Others, however, have noted that the characters in ''Porgy'', though viewed sympathetically, are still viewed for the most part as stereotypes.\n\nIn his introduction to the section on DuBose Heyward in ''Invisible Giants: Fifty Americans Who Shaped the Nation But Missed the History Books'', Stephen Sondheim wrote:\n\n\"DuBose Heyward has gone largely unrecognized as the author of the finest set of lyrics in the history of the American musical theater - namely, those of Porgy and Bess. There are two reasons for this, and they are connected. First, he was primarily a poet and novelist, and his only song lyrics were those that he wrote for Porgy. Second, some of them were written in collaboration with Ira Gershwin, a full-time lyricist, whose reputation in the musical theater was firmly established before the opera was written. But most of the lyrics in Porgy - and all of the distinguished ones - are by Heyward. I admire his theater songs for their deeply felt poetic style and their insight into character. It's a pity he didn't write any others. His work is sung, but he is unsung.\"\n\nHeyward continued to explore black Charleston with another novel set in Catfish Row, ''Mamba's Daughters'' (1929), which he and Dorothy also adapted as a play.\n\nHeyward wrote the play ''Brass Ankle'', produced in 1931 in New York, which dealt with issues of mixed-race ancestry and its effects on an ostensibly white couple in a small southern town. Reviewers treated his play favorably as a version of the \"tragic mulatto\" genre, but it was not a commercial success.\n\nHe wrote the screenplay for the film adaptation of Eugene O'Neill's ''The Emperor Jones'' (1933). His children's book, ''The Country Bunny and the Little Gold Shoes'' (1939) was quite popular.\n\nHis novella ''Star Spangled Virgin'' (1939) was set in Saint Croix, U.S. Virgin Islands and dealt with the domestic life of Adam Work and his woman Rhoda. It was described as \"singularly charming and very original\", covering their and friends' interpretations of \"the relations of men and women\".\n\nHeyward died from a heart attack in June 1940, at the age of 54, in Tryon, North Carolina. He was identified by The My Hero Project as a poet hero.\n" "Representation in other media" "*''Porgy and Bess'' was adapted as a film, released in 1959.\n" "Notes" "\n" "References" "*\n" " External links " "\n* \n* \n* \n* ''Porgy'', edited with introduction and resources by Kendra Hamilton, American Studies, University of Virginia.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n"
"Duke Ellington's Sacred Concerts" "Introduction" "In the last decade of his life, Duke Ellington wrote three '''Sacred Concerts''':\n \n* 1965 - A Concert of Sacred Music\n* 1968 - Second Sacred Concert\n* 1973 - Third Sacred Concert\n\nEllington called these concerts \"the most important thing I have ever done\". He said many times that he was not trying to compose a \"Mass\" (liturgy). The critic Gary Giddins has characterized these concerts as Ellington bringing the Cotton Club revue to the church.\n" " Concert of Sacred Music " "\n\nAs early as October 1962, the Reverend John S. Yaryan approached Ellington about performing at the new Grace Cathedral in San Francisco when it opened in 1965. The cathedral planned a \"Festival of Grace\", with a variety of cultural works and speakers, to occur during the first year the cathedral was open, and Ellington's concert was to be a part of it. (The \"festival\" also included a performance by Vince Guaraldi.)\n\nThe concert premiered on September 16, 1965, and was recorded by KQED, a local public television station. The performance was released on CD as ''A Concert of Sacred Music Live from Grace Cathedral'' and on DVD as ''Love You Madly/A Concert of Sacred Music at Grace Cathedral''. The official album on RCA, ''A Concert of Sacred Music'', was recorded at two concerts at Fifth Avenue Presbyterian Church in New York on December 26, 1965. Additional material from these concerts, not found on the original album, can be found on the 24-CD box set ''The Duke Ellington Centennial Edition: The Complete RCA Victor Recordings (1927-1973)''. The concert mixed existing and new material, with \"New World A-Commin\" and \"Come Sunday\" from ''Black Brown and Beige'' and \"Heritage (My Mother, My Father)\" from the show ''My People''. A new piece, the song \"In the Beginning God\", was awarded a Grammy Award in 1967. It was performed again at Grace Cathedral on its 25th and 50th anniversaries, in 1990 and 2015.\n\n===Reception===\nThe Allmusic review by Richard S. Ginell awarded the album five stars and stated \"the concert taps into Ellington's roots in showbiz and African-American culture as well as his evidently deep religious faith, throwing it all together in the spirit of universality and sealing everything with the stamps of his musical signatures\".\n\nEbony magazine called the piece \"historic\", situating it as part of a larger movement in the mid-60s that brought together jazz and religion. \n\n\n===Track listing===\n\n:''All compositions by Duke Ellington''\n# \"In the Beginning God\" - 19:36\n# \"Will You Be There?\" - 1:23\n# \"Ninety Nine Percent\" - 2:23\n# \"Ain't But the One\" - 3:31\n# \"New World a'Coming\" - 9:56\n# \"In the Beginning, God II\" - 4:31\n# \"Heritage\" - 3:42\n# \"The Lord's Prayer\" - 3:16\n# \"Come Sunday\" - 5:30\n# \"David Danced Before the Lord With All His Might\" - 9:00\n# \"The Lord's Prayer II\" - 4:56\n\nThe album was recorded at the Fifth Avenue Presbyterian Church on December 26, 1965.\n\n===Personnel===\n*Duke Ellington \u2013 piano\n*Cat Anderson, Mercer Ellington, Herb Jones, Cootie Williams - trumpet\n*Lawrence Brown, Buster Cooper, Quentin Jackson - trombone\n*Chuck Connors - bass trombone\n*Russell Procope, Jimmy Hamilton - alto saxophone, clarinet\n*Johnny Hodges - alto saxophone\n*Paul Gonsalves - tenor saxophone\n*Harry Carney - baritone saxophone\n*John Lamb - bass\n*Louie Bellson - drums\n*Brock Peters, Queen Esther Marrow, Jimmy McPhail - vocals\n*The Herman McCoy Choir - choir\n*Bunny Briggs - tapdancing (track 10)\n" " Second Sacred Concert " "\nEllington's ''Second Sacred Concert'' premiered at the Cathedral of St. John the Divine in New York on January 19, 1968 but no recording of this actual performance has surfaced. The ''Second Sacred Concert'' was then recorded on January 22 and February 19, 1968 at Fine Studio in New York and originally issued as a double LP on Prestige Records and reissued on one CD, minus the tracks, \"Don't Get Down On Your Knees To Pray Until You Have Forgiven Everyone\" and \"Father Forgive\". All the tracks can be found in the 24-CD box set ''The Duke Ellington Centennial Edition: The Complete RCA Victor Recordings (1927-1973).''\n\nThis concert is the first time Swedish singer Alice Babs recorded with the Ellington Orchestra. In the concert she sang \"Heaven\" and the wordless vocal, \"T.G.T.T. (Too Good to Title)\". Cootie Williams has a \"growl\" trumpet feature on \"The Shepherd (Who Watches Over the Night Flock)\".

"Easter Bunny, Kill! Kill!" "Introduction" "\n\n'''''Easter Bunny, Kill! Kill!''''' is a 2006 horror film written and directed by Chad Ferrin.\n" " Plot " "\nThe night before Easter, a lowlife named Remington dons an Easter Bunny mask, and robs a convenience store with a shotgun, shooting the clerk in the mouth. Remington is then revealed to have charmed his way into the life of widow Mindy Peters, a nurse who lives with her cerebral palsy-afflicted son Nicholas, who Remington torments when Mindy is not around. While taking out the garbage, Nicholas befriends a disfigured vagrant who gives him a rabbit he claims is an Easter Bunny. Nicholas decides to keep the rabbit a secret, but it is discovered by Remington, who threatens to kill it if Nicholas says anything bad about him to Mindy.\n\nOn Easter, Mindy has to work a double shift, so she leaves Nicholas alone with Remington, after the latter kicks out some unscrupulous home renovators. As soon as Mindy leaves, Remington assaults Nicholas, and calls over a physically disabled and pedophilic acquaintance named Ray, who he \"rents\" Nicholas to in exchange for money and drugs. Remington goes to get prostitutes, and while Ray searches for Nicholas, someone wearing Remington's discarded Easter Bunny mask murders him with a knife, and a drill. As the killer disposes of Ray's body, the renovators return to pick up their tools, and ransack the house. The killer disembowels one with a circular saw, and wounds another with a hammer as the remaining one is approached by the vagrant.\n\nRemington arrives with a pair of prostitutes named Candy and Brooke, and they are attacked by the injured and disoriented handyman (who Remington kills with a flashlight) and the killer. Candy is impaled through the mouth with a broomstick handle, Brooke is stabbed with a piece of glass, and Remington has his throat slit. The killer is shown to be Mindy, who taunts Remington as he dies, stating, \"I hid, and watched, and I saw how you treated Nicholas. I heard every venomous word that spewed through your deceitful mouth. Until I ended it. Just like his father\". A flashback then shows that exactly a decade prior, Mindy set Donald, her abusive husband, on fire because he regarded Nicholas as a burdensome freak.\n\nThe homeless man enters, and is revealed to be Donald, who asks for forgiveness, and acceptance back into the family, unveiling to Mindy and Nicholas the head of a renovator he had murdered to help Mindy. The three embrace, and the film ends with Donald saying, \"Now, what do you say we clean up these dead bodies, and start a family, huh?\"\n" " Cast " "\n* Timothy Muskatell as Remington Rashkor\n* Ricardo Gray as Nicholas Peters\n* Charlotte Marie as Mindy Peters\n* David Z.

Kill!'' is a pretty shallow exercise, but Ferrin seems to know that and doesn't masquerade the film as anything other than what it actually is \u2013 a fun, pretense-free throwback to a bygone era of exploitation cinema. It's this sense of play that slightly elevates the film above Ferrin's ''Someone's Knocking at the Door'', a movie I felt tried too hard to be about something when it would've worked better by simply following through on its gonzo premise. There's no such attempt at message-making in ''EBKK''; it's sheer camp, a tongue-in-cheek nightmare of blood-splattered psychedelia and over-the-top (albeit clumsily edited) kills\". Steve Barton of Dread Central gave the film a score of 3\u00bd out of 5, called it well acted and competently made, and stated, \"My advice? If you see it playing at a festival somewhere and you have the stomach for it, do not miss it. ''Easter Bunny, Kill! Kill!'' revels in its obscenity and packs enough punch to knock out even the most jaded of viewers\". DVD Talk's Jeremy Biltz bestowed a grade of 2\u00bd out of 5, and gave his final thoughts as, ''\"Easter Bunny Kill Kill'' is pure, bottled weirdness. It's creepy, tense, gory and fun. It also has some significant flaws in the acting, story and pacing. It's no cinematic masterpiece, but there is a body of considerable talent lurking beneath the surface that pokes its head up from time to time.

"Easter" "Introduction" "\n\n\n\n\n\n'''Easter''', also called '''Pascha''' ''(Greek/Latin)'' or '''Resurrection Sunday''', is a festival and holiday celebrating the resurrection of Jesus from the dead, described in the New Testament as having occurred on the third day of his burial after his crucifixion by the Romans at Calvary 30 AD. It is the culmination of the Passion of Jesus, preceded by Lent (or Great Lent), a forty-day period of fasting, prayer, and penance.\n\nThe week before Easter is called Holy Week, and it contains the days of the Easter Triduum, including Maundy Thursday, commemorating the Maundy and Last Supper, as well as Good Friday, commemorating the crucifixion and death of Jesus. In western Christianity, Eastertide, the Easter Season, begins on Easter Sunday and lasts seven weeks, ending with the coming of the fiftieth day, Pentecost Sunday. In Orthodoxy, the season of Pascha begins on Pascha and ends with the coming of the fortieth day, the Feast of the Ascension.\n\nEaster and the holidays that are related to it are ''moveable feasts'' which do not fall on a fixed date in the Gregorian or Julian calendars which follow only the cycle of the sun; rather, its date is determined on a lunisolar calendar similar to the Hebrew calendar. The First Council of Nicaea (325) established two rules, independence of the Jewish calendar and worldwide uniformity, which were the only rules for Easter explicitly laid down by the council. No details for the computation were specified; these were worked out in practice, a process that took centuries and generated a number of controversies. It has come to be the first Sunday after the ecclesiastical full moon that occurs on or soonest after 21 March, but calculations vary in East and West.\n\nEaster is linked to the Jewish Passover by much of its symbolism, as well as by its position in the calendar. In many languages, the words for \"Easter\" and \"Passover\" are identical or very similar. Easter customs vary across the Christian world, and include sunrise services, exclaiming the Paschal greeting, clipping the church, and decorating Easter eggs (symbols of the empty tomb). The Easter lily, a symbol of the resurrection, traditionally decorates the chancel area of churches on this day and for the rest of Eastertide. Additional customs that have become associated with Easter and are observed by both Christians and some non-Christians include egg hunting, the Easter Bunny, and Easter parades. There are also various traditional Easter foods that vary regionally.\n" " Etymology " "\nThe modern English term ''Easter'', cognate with modern Dutch ''ooster'' and German ''Ostern'', developed from an Old English word that usually appears in the form ''\u0112astrun'', ''-on'', or ''-an''; but also as ''\u0112astru'', ''-o''; and ''\u0112astre'' or ''\u0112ostre''. The most widely accepted theory of the origin of the term is that it is derived from the name of a goddess mentioned by the 7th to 8th-century English monk Bede, who wrote that ''\u0112osturm\u014dna\u00fe'' (Old English 'Month of \u0112ostre', translated in Bede's time as \"Paschal month\") was an English month, corresponding to April, which he says \"was once called after a goddess of theirs named \u0112ostre, in whose honour feasts were celebrated in that month\". However, it is possible that Bede was only speculating about the origin of the term since there is no firm evidence that such a goddess actually existed.\n\nIn Greek and Latin, the Christian celebration was, and still is, called \u03a0\u03ac\u03c3\u03c7\u03b1, ''Pascha'', a word derived from Aramaic \u05e4\u05e1\u05d7\u05d0, cognate to Hebrew \u05e4\u05b6\u05bc\u05e1\u05b7\u05d7 (''Pesach''). The word originally denoted the Jewish festival known in English as Passover, commemorating the Jewish Exodus from slavery in Egypt. Already in the 50s of the 1st century, Paul, writing from Ephesus to the Christians in Corinth, applied the term to Christ, and it is unlikely that the Ephesian and Corinthian Christians were the first to hear Exodus 12 interpreted as speaking about the death of Jesus, not just about the Jewish Passover ritual. In most of the non-English speaking world, the feast is known by names derived from Greek and Latin ''Pascha''. Pascha is also a name by which Jesus himself is remembered in the Orthodox Church, especially in connection with his resurrection and with the season of its celebration.\n" " Theological significance " "\nOne of the earliest known depictions of the crucifixion and resurrection of Jesus (Rabbula Gospel illuminated manuscript, 6th century)\nThe New Testament states that the resurrection of Jesus, which Easter celebrates, is a foundation of the Christian faith. (interprets primary source references in this section as applying to the Resurrection) The resurrection established Jesus as the powerful Son of God and is cited as proof that God will judge the world in righteousness. For those who trust in Jesus' death and resurrection, \"death is swallowed up in victory.\" Any person who chooses to follow Jesus receives \"a new birth into a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead\". Through faith in the working of God those who follow Jesus are spiritually resurrected with him so that they may walk in a new way of life and receive eternal salvation.\n\nEaster is linked to the Passover and Exodus from Egypt recorded in the Old Testament through the Last Supper, sufferings and crucifixion of Jesus that preceded the resurrection. According to the New Testament, Jesus gave the Passover meal a new meaning, as in the upper room during the Last Supper he prepared himself and his disciples for his death. He identified the matzah and cup of wine as his body soon to be sacrificed and his blood soon to be shed. Paul states, \"Get rid of the old yeast that you may be a new batch without yeast\u2014as you really are. For Christ, our Passover lamb, has been sacrificed\"; this refers to the Passover requirement to have no yeast in the house and to the allegory of Jesus as the Paschal lamb.\n\nOne interpretation of the Gospel of John is that Jesus, as the Passover lamb, was crucified at roughly the same time as the Passover lambs were being slain in the temple, on the afternoon of Nisan 14. The scriptural instructions specify that the lamb is to be slain \"between the two evenings\", that is, at twilight. By the Roman period, however, the sacrifices were performed in the mid-afternoon. Josephus, ''Jewish War'' 6.10.1/423 (\"They sacrifice from the ninth to the eleventh hour\"). Philo, ''Special Laws'' 2.27/145 (\"Many myriads of victims from noon till eventide are offered by the whole people\").\n\nThis interpretation, however, is inconsistent with the chronology in the Synoptic Gospels. It assumes that text literally translated \"the preparation of the passover\" in John 19:14 refers to Nisan 14 (Preparation Day for the Passover) and not necessarily to Yom Shishi (Friday, Preparation Day for the Passover week Sabbath) and that the priests' desire to be ritually pure in order to \"eat the passover\" refers to eating the Passover lamb, not to the public offerings made during the days of Unleavened Bread.\n" " In the early Church " "\nThe Last Supper celebrated by Jesus and his disciples. The early Christians too would have celebrated this meal to commemorate Jesus' death and subsequent resurrection. The first Christians, Jewish and Gentile, were certainly aware of the Hebrew calendar. Jewish Christians, the first to celebrate the resurrection of Jesus, timed the observance in relation to Passover.\n\nDirect evidence for a more fully formed Christian festival of Pascha (Easter) begins to appear in the mid-2nd century. Perhaps the earliest extant primary source referring to Easter is a mid-2nd-century Paschal homily attributed to Melito of Sardis, which characterizes the celebration as a well-established one. Evidence for another kind of annual Christian festival, the commemoration of martyrs, begins to appear at about the same time as evidence for the celebration of Easter.\n\nWhile martyrs' days (usually the individual dates of martyrdom) were celebrated on fixed dates in the local solar calendar, the date of Easter was fixed by means of the local Jewish lunisolar calendar. This is consistent with the celebration of Easter having entered Christianity during its earliest, Jewish period, but does not leave the question free of doubt.\n\nThe ecclesiastical historian Socrates Scholasticus attributes the observance of Easter by the church to the perpetuation of its custom, \"just as many other customs have been established\", stating that neither Jesus nor his Apostles enjoined the keeping of this or any other festival. Although he describes the details of the Easter celebration as deriving from local custom, he insists the feast itself is universally observed.\n" " Date " "\nPassover Lamb, a concept integral to the foundation of Easter\nEaster and the holidays that are related to it are ''moveable feasts'', in that they do not fall on a fixed date in the Gregorian or Julian calendars (both of which follow the cycle of the sun and the seasons). Instead, the date for Easter is determined on a lunisolar calendar similar to the Hebrew calendar. The First Council of Nicaea (325) established two rules, independence of the Jewish calendar and worldwide uniformity, which were the only rules for Easter explicitly laid down by the Council. No details for the computation were specified; these were worked out in practice, a process that took centuries and generated a number of controversies. (See also Computus and Reform of the date of Easter.) In particular, the Council did not decree that Easter must fall on Sunday. This was already the practice almost everywhere.\n\nIn Western Christianity, using the Gregorian calendar, Easter always falls on a Sunday between 22 March and 25 April inclusive, within about seven days after the astronomical full moon. The following day, Easter Monday, is a legal holiday in many countries with predominantly Christian traditions.\n\nEastern Christianity bases its calculations on the Julian Calendar. Because of the 13-day difference between the calendars between 1900 and 2099, 21 March corresponds, during the 21st century, to 3 April in the Gregorian Calendar. Easter therefore varies between 4 April and 8 May on the Gregorian calendar (the Julian calendar is no longer used as the civil calendar of the countries where Eastern Christian traditions predominate). Also, because the Julian \"full moon\" is always several days after the astronomical full moon, the eastern Easter is often later, relative to the visible moon's phases, than western Easter.\n\nAmong the Oriental Orthodox some churches have changed from the Julian to the Gregorian calendar and the date for Easter as for other fixed and moveable feasts is the same as in the Western church.\n\n=== Computations ===\n\nIn 725, Bede succinctly wrote, \"The Sunday following the full Moon which falls on or after the equinox will give the lawful Easter.\" However, this does not precisely reflect the ecclesiastical rules. The full moon referred to (called the Paschal full moon) is not an astronomical full moon, but the 14th day of a calendar lunar month. Another difference is that the astronomical equinox is a natural astronomical phenomenon, which can fall on 19, 20 or 21 March, while the ecclesiastical date is fixed by convention on 21 March.\n\nIn applying the ecclesiastical rules, Christian churches use 21 March as the starting point in determining the date of Easter, from which they find the next full moon, etc. The Eastern Orthodox and Oriental Orthodox Churches continue to use the Julian calendar. Their starting point in determining the date of Orthodox Easter is also 21 March but according to the Julian reckoning, which in the current century corresponds to 3 April in the Gregorian calendar.\n\nIn addition, the lunar tables of the Julian calendar are four days (sometimes five days) behind those of the Gregorian calendar. The 14th day of the lunar month according to the Gregorian system is figured as the ninth or tenth day according to the Julian. The result of this combination of solar and lunar discrepancies is divergence in the date of Easter in most years (see table).\n\nEaster is determined on the basis of lunisolar cycles. The lunar year consists of 30-day and 29-day lunar months, generally alternating, with an embolismic month added periodically to bring the lunar cycle into line with the solar cycle. In each solar year (1 January to 31 December inclusive), the lunar month beginning with an ecclesiastical new moon falling in the 29-day period from 8 March to 5 April inclusive is designated as the paschal lunar month for that year.\n\nEaster is the third Sunday in the paschal lunar month, or, in other words, the Sunday after the paschal lunar month's 14th day. The 14th of the paschal lunar month is designated by convention as the Paschal full moon, although the 14th of the lunar month may differ from the date of the astronomical full moon by up to two days. Since the ecclesiastical new moon falls on a date from 8 March to 5 April inclusive, the paschal full moon (the 14th of that lunar month) must fall on a date from 21 March to 18 April inclusive.\n\nThe Gregorian calculation of Easter was based on a method devised by the Calabrian doctor Aloysius Lilius (or Lilio) for adjusting the epacts of the moon, and has been adopted by almost all Western Christians and by Western countries which celebrate national holidays at Easter. For the British Empire and colonies, a determination of the date of Easter Sunday using Golden Numbers and Sunday letters was defined by the Calendar (New Style) Act 1750 with its Annexe. This was designed to match exactly the Gregorian calculation.\n\n=== Controversies over the date ===\n\nA five-part Russian Orthodox icon depicting the Easter story.Eastern Orthodox Christians use a different computation for the date of Easter than the Western churches.\nThe precise date of Easter has at times been a matter of contention. By the later 2nd century, it was widely accepted that the celebration of the holiday was a practice of the disciples and an undisputed tradition. The Quartodeciman controversy, the first of several Easter controversies, arose concerning the date on which the holiday should be celebrated.\n\nThe term \"Quartodeciman\" refers to the practice of celebrating Easter on Nisan 14 of the Hebrew calendar, \"the 's passover\" (). According to the church historian Eusebius, the Quartodeciman Polycarp (bishop of Smyrna, by tradition a disciple of John the Apostle) debated the question with Anicetus (bishop of Rome). The Roman province of Asia was Quartodeciman, while the Roman and Alexandrian churches continued the fast until the Sunday following (the Sunday of Unleavened Bread), wishing to associate Easter with Sunday. Neither Polycarp nor Anicetus persuaded the other, but they did not consider the matter schismatic either, parting in peace and leaving the question unsettled.\n\nControversy arose when Victor, bishop of Rome a generation after Anicetus, attempted to excommunicate Polycrates of Ephesus and all other bishops of Asia for their Quartodecimanism. According to Eusebius, a number of synods were convened to deal with the controversy, which he regarded as all ruling in support of Easter on Sunday. Polycrates (''circa'' 190), however, wrote to Victor defending the antiquity of Asian Quartodecimanism. Victor's attempted excommunication was apparently rescinded, and the two sides reconciled upon the intervention of bishop Irenaeus and others, who reminded Victor of the tolerant precedent of Anicetus.\n\nQuartodecimanism seems to have lingered into the 4th century, when Socrates of Constantinople recorded that some Quartodecimans were deprived of their churches by John Chrysostom and that some were harassed by Nestorius.\n\nIt is not known how long the Nisan 14 practice continued. But both those who followed the Nisan 14 custom, and those who set Easter to the following Sunday had in common the custom of consulting their Jewish neighbors to learn when the month of Nisan would fall, and setting their festival accordingly. By the later 3rd century, however, some Christians began to express dissatisfaction with the custom of relying on the Jewish community to determine the date of Easter. The chief complaint was that the Jewish communities sometimes erred in setting Passover to fall before the Northern Hemisphere spring equinox. The Sardica paschal table confirms these complaints, for it indicates that the Jews of some eastern Mediterranean city (possibly Antioch) fixed Nisan 14 on dates well before the spring equinox on multiple occasions.\n\nBecause of this dissatisfaction with reliance on the Jewish calendar, some Christians began to experiment with independent computations. Others, however, believed that the customary practice of consulting Jews should continue, even if the Jewish computations were in error.\n\n=== First Council of Nicaea (325 AD) ===\n\nThis controversy between those who advocated independent computations, and those who wished to continue the custom of relying on the Jewish calendar, was formally resolved by the First Council of Nicaea in 325, which endorsed changing to an independent computation by the Christian community in order to celebrate in common. This effectively required the abandonment of the old custom of consulting the Jewish community in those places where it was still used. Epiphanius of Salamis wrote in the mid-4th century:\n\nthe emperor\u00a0... convened a council of 318 bishops\u00a0... in the city of Nicea\u00a0... They passed certain ecclesiastical canons at the council besides, and at the same time decreed in regard to the Passover that there must be one unanimous concord on the celebration of God's holy and supremely excellent day. For it was variously observed by people\n\nThat the older custom (called \"protopaschite\" by historians) did not at once die out, but persisted for a time, is indicated by the existence of canons and sermons against it.\n\nDionysius Exiguus, and others following him, maintained that the 318 Bishops assembled at the Nicene Council had specified a particular method of determining the date of Easter; subsequent scholarship has refuted this tradition. In any case, in the years following the council, the computational system that was worked out by the church of Alexandria came to be normative. It took a while for the Alexandrian rules to be adopted throughout Christian Europe, however. The 8-year cycle originally employed was replaced by (or by the time of) Augustalis's treatise on the measurement of Easter, after which Rome used his 84-year lunisolar calendar cycle until 457. It then switched to an adaptation by Victorius of the Alexandrian rules.\n\nBecause this Victorian cycle differed from the Alexandrian cycle in the dates of some of the Paschal Full Moons, and because it tried to respect the Roman custom of fixing Easter to the Sunday in the week of the 16th to the 22nd of the lunar month (rather than the 15th to the 21st as at Alexandria), by providing alternative \"Latin\" and \"Greek\" dates in some years, occasional differences in the date of Easter as fixed by Alexandrian rules continued. The Alexandrian rules were adopted in the West following the tables of Dionysius Exiguus in 525. From this time, therefore, all discrepancies between Alexandria and Rome as to the correct date for Easter cease, as both churches were using identical tables.\n\nEarly Christians in Britain and Ireland also used an 84-year cycle. From the 5th century onward this cycle set its equinox to 25 March and fixed Easter to the Sunday falling in the 14th to the 20th of the lunar month inclusive. This 84-year cycle was replaced by the Alexandrian method in the course of the 7th and 8th centuries. Churches in western continental Europe used a late Roman method until the late 8th century during the reign of Charlemagne, when they finally adopted the Alexandrian method. Since 1582, when the Catholic Church adopted the Gregorian calendar while the Eastern Orthodox and most Oriental Orthodox Churches retained the Julian calendar, the date on which Easter is celebrated has again differed.\n\nThe Greek island of Syros, whose population is divided almost equally between Catholics and Orthodox, is one of the few places where the two Churches share a common date for Easter, with the Catholics accepting the Orthodox date\u2014a practice helping considerably in maintaining good relations between the two communities.\n\n=== Reform of the date ===\n\nflash-illuminated; all electric lighting is off, and only the oil lamps in front of the Iconostasis remain lit. (St. George Greek Orthodox Church, Adelaide).\n\nIn the 20th century, some individuals and institutions have propounded a fixed date for Easter, the most prominent proposal being the Sunday after the second Saturday in April. Despite having some support, proposals to reform the date have not been implemented. An Orthodox congress of Eastern Orthodox bishops, which included representatives mostly from the Patriarch of Constantinople and the Serbian Patriarch, met in Constantinople in 1923, where the bishops agreed to the Revised Julian calendar.\n\nThe original form of this calendar would have determined Easter using precise astronomical calculations based on the meridian of Jerusalem. However, all the Eastern Orthodox countries that subsequently adopted the Revised Julian calendar adopted only that part of the revised calendar that applied to festivals falling on fixed dates in the Julian calendar. The revised Easter computation that had been part of the original 1923 agreement was never permanently implemented in any Orthodox diocese.\n\nIn the United Kingdom, the Easter Act 1928 set out legislation to allow the date of Easter to be fixed as the first Sunday after the second Saturday in April (or, in other words, the Sunday in the period from 9 to 15 April). However, the legislation has not been implemented, although it remains on the Statute book and could be implemented subject to approval by the various Christian churches.\n\nAt a summit in Aleppo, Syria, in 1997, the World Council of Churches (WCC) proposed a reform in the calculation of Easter which would have replaced the present divergent practices of calculating Easter with modern scientific knowledge taking into account actual astronomical instances of the spring equinox and full moon based on the meridian of Jerusalem, while also following the Council of Nicea position of Easter being on the Sunday following the full moon. The recommended World Council of Churches changes would have sidestepped the calendar issues and eliminated the difference in date between the Eastern and Western churches. The reform was proposed for implementation starting in 2001, but it was not ultimately adopted by any member body.\n\nIn January 2016, Christian churches again considered the idea of a fixed and unified date of Easter, probably either the second or third Sunday in April.\n\n=== Table of the dates of Easter ===\n\nThe WCC presented comparative data of the relationships:\n\nNotes: 1. Astronomical Easter is the first Sunday after the Astronomical full moon, referred to the meridian of Jerusalem. 2. Passover commences at sunset preceding the date indicated.\n" " Position in the church year " "\n\n\n=== Western Christianity ===\n\nIn Western Christianity, Easter is preceded by Lent, a period of fasting and penitence in preparation for Easter, which begins on Ash Wednesday and lasts forty days (not counting Sundays). The week before Easter, known as Holy Week, is very special in the Christian tradition. The Sunday before Easter is Palm Sunday, with the Wednesday before Easter being known as Spy Wednesday. The last three days before Easter are Maundy Thursday, Good Friday and Holy Saturday (sometimes referred to as Silent Saturday).\n\nPalm Sunday, Maundy Thursday and Good Friday respectively commemorate Jesus' entry in Jerusalem, the Last Supper and the Crucifixion. Maundy Thursday, Good Friday, and Holy Saturday are sometimes referred to as the Easter Triduum (Latin for \"Three Days\"). Many churches begin celebrating Easter late in the evening of Holy Saturday at a service called the Easter Vigil. In some countries, Easter lasts two days, with the second called \"Easter Monday\".\n\nThe week beginning with Easter Sunday is called Easter Week or the Octave of Easter, and each day is prefaced with \"Easter\", e.g. Easter Monday, Easter Tuesday, etc. Easter Saturday is therefore the Saturday ''after'' Easter Sunday. The day before Easter is properly called Holy Saturday. Eastertide, or Paschaltide, the season of Easter, begins on Easter Sunday and lasts until the day of Pentecost, seven weeks later.\n\n=== Eastern Christianity ===\n\nIn Eastern Christianity, the spiritual preparation for Easter begins with Great Lent, which starts on Clean Monday and lasts for 40 continuous days (including Sundays). The last week of Great Lent (following the fifth Sunday of Great Lent) is called Palm Week, and ends with Lazarus Saturday. The Vespers which begins Lazarus Saturday officially brings Great Lent to a close, although the fast continues through the following week. After Lazarus Saturday comes Palm Sunday, Holy Week, and finally Easter itself, and the fast is broken immediately after the Paschal Divine Liturgy.\n\nThe Paschal Vigil begins with the Midnight Office, which is the last service of the Lenten Triodion and is timed so that it ends a little before midnight on Holy Saturday night. At the stroke of midnight the Paschal celebration itself begins, consisting of Paschal Matins, Paschal Hours, and Paschal Divine Liturgy. Placing the Paschal Divine Liturgy at midnight guarantees that no Divine Liturgy will come earlier in the morning, ensuring its place as the pre-eminent \"Feast of Feasts\" in the liturgical year.\n\nThe liturgical season from Easter to the Sunday of All Saints (the Sunday after Pentecost) is known as the Pentecostarion (the \"fifty days\"). The week which begins on Easter Sunday is called Bright Week, during which there is no fasting, even on Wednesday and Friday. The Afterfeast of Easter lasts 39 days, with its Apodosis (leave-taking) on the day before Ascension. Pentecost Sunday is the fiftieth day from Easter (counted inclusively).\n\n==Religious observance==\nDepiction of ''The Resurrection of Jesus Christ'', by Piero della Francesca.\n\n=== Western Christianity ===\n\nThe Easter festival is kept in many different ways among Western Christians. The traditional, liturgical observation of Easter, as practised among Roman Catholics, Lutherans, and some Anglicans begins on the night of Holy Saturday with the Easter Vigil. This, the most important liturgy of the year, begins in total darkness with the blessing of the Easter fire, the lighting of the large Paschal candle (symbolic of the Risen Christ) and the chanting of the Exultet or Easter Proclamation attributed to Saint Ambrose of Milan.\n\nEpistle reading, I Corinthians (in Latin), for the Solemn Mass of Easter Day.\nAfter this service of light, a number of readings from the Old Testament are read. These tell the stories of creation, the sacrifice of Isaac, the crossing of the Red Sea, and the foretold coming of the Messiah. This part of the service climaxes with the singing of the Gloria and the Alleluia and the proclamation of the Gospel of the resurrection. At this time, the lights are brought up and the church bells are rung, according to local custom. A sermon may be preached after the gospel.\n\nThe focus then moves from the lectern to the font. Anciently, Easter was considered the ideal time for converts to receive baptism, and this practice continues within Roman Catholicism and the Anglican Communion. Whether there are baptisms at this point or not, it is traditional for the congregation to renew the vows of their baptismal faith. This act is often sealed by the sprinkling of the congregation with holy water from the font. The Catholic sacrament of Confirmation is also celebrated at the Vigil.\n\nThe Easter Vigil concludes with the celebration of the Eucharist (known in some traditions as Holy Communion). Certain variations in the Easter Vigil exist: Some churches read the Old Testament lessons before the procession of the Paschal candle, and then read the gospel immediately after the Exsultet.\n\nSunrise service in Rockland, Maine, United States.\nSome churches prefer to keep this vigil very early on the Sunday morning instead of the Saturday night to reflect the gospel account of the women coming to the tomb at dawn on the first day of the week. These services are known as the Sunrise service and often occur in outdoor setting such as the church cemetery, yard, or a nearby park.\n\nThe first recorded \"Sunrise Service\" took place in 1732 among the Single Brethren in the Moravian congregation at Herrnhut, Saxony, in what is now Germany. Following an all-night vigil they went before dawn to the town graveyard, God's Acre, on the hill above the town, to celebrate the Resurrection among the graves of the departed. This service was repeated the following year by the whole congregation and subsequently spread with the Moravian Missionaries around the world, including Old Salem in Winston-Salem, North Carolina.\n\nAdditional celebrations are usually offered on Easter Sunday itself. Typically these services follow the usual order of Sunday services in a congregation, but also typically incorporate more highly festive elements. The music of the service, in particular, often displays a highly festive tone; the incorporation of brass instruments (trumpets, etc.) to supplement a congregation's usual instrumentation is common. Often a congregation's worship space is decorated with special banners and flowers (such as Easter lilies).\n\nIn predominantly Roman Catholic Philippines, the morning of Easter (known in the national language as \"Pasko ng Muling Pagkabuhay\" or the Pasch of the Resurrection) is marked with joyous celebration, the first being the dawn \"Salubong\", wherein large statues of Jesus and Mary are brought together to meet, imagining the first reunion of Jesus and his mother Mary after Jesus' Resurrection. This is followed by the joyous Easter Mass.\n\nIn Polish culture, the Rezurekcja (Resurrection Procession) is the joyous Easter morning Mass at daybreak when church bells ring out and explosions resound to commemorate Christ rising from the dead. Before the Mass begins at dawn, a festive procession with the Blessed Sacrament carried beneath a canopy encircles the church. As church bells ring out, handbells are vigorously shaken by altar boys, the air is filled with incense and the faithful raise their voices heavenward in a triumphant rendering of age-old Easter hymns. After the Blessed Sacrament is carried around the church and Adoration is complete, the Easter Mass begins. Another Polish Easter tradition is \u015awi\u0119conka, the blessing of Easter baskets by the parish priest on Holy Saturday. This custom is celebrated not only in Poland, but also in the United States by Polish-Americans.\n\n=== Eastern Christianity ===\n\nIcon of the Resurrection by an unknown 17th century Bulgarian artist\nEaster is the fundamental and most important festival of the Eastern and Oriental Orthodox Churches:\n\n\n\n: This is the Expected and Holy Day,\n: the One among the Sabbaths,\n: the Sovereign and Lady of days,\n: Feast of feasts, Celebration of celebrations,\n: on which we praise Christ for all eternity!\n\n\n\nBoris Kustodiev's ''Pascha Greetings'' (1912) shows traditional Russian ''khristosovanie'' (exchanging a triple kiss), with such foods as red eggs, kulich and paskha in the background.\nEvery other religious festival in their calendar, including Christmas, is secondary in importance to the celebration of the Resurrection of Jesus Christ. This is reflected in rich Paschal customs in the cultures of countries that have traditionally had an Orthodox Christian majority. Eastern Catholics have similar emphasis in their calendars, and many of their liturgical customs are very similar.\n\nThis is not to say that Christmas and other elements of the Christian liturgical calendar are ignored. Instead, these events are all seen as necessary but ''preliminary'' to, and illuminated by, the full climax of the Resurrection, in which all that has come before reaches fulfillment and fruition. They shine only in the light of the Resurrection. Easter is the primary act that fulfills the purpose of Christ's ministry on earth\u2014to defeat death by dying and to purify and exalt humanity by voluntarily assuming and overcoming human frailty. This is succinctly summarized by the Paschal troparion, sung repeatedly for forty days, through the Apodosis of Easter, which is the day before Ascension:\n\n\n\n: \u03a7\u03c1\u03b9\u03c3\u03c4\u1f78\u03c2 \u1f00\u03bd\u03ad\u03c3\u03c4\u03b7 \u1f10\u03ba \u03bd\u03b5\u03ba\u03c1\u1ff6\u03bd,\n: \u03b8\u03b1\u03bd\u03ac\u03c4\u1ff3 \u03b8\u03ac\u03bd\u03b1\u03c4\u03bf\u03bd \u03c0\u03b1\u03c4\u03ae\u03c3\u03b1\u03c2,\n: \u03ba\u03b1\u1f76 \u03c4\u03bf\u1fd6\u03c2 \u1f10\u03bd \u03c4\u03bf\u1fd6\u03c2 \u03bc\u03bd\u03ae\u03bc\u03b1\u03c3\u03b9\n: \u03b6\u03c9\u1f74\u03bd \u03c7\u03b1\u03c1\u03b9\u03c3\u03ac\u03bc\u03b5\u03bd\u03bf\u03c2.\n\n\n\n\n\n: Christ is risen from the dead,\n: Trampling down death by death,\n: And upon those in the tombs\n: Bestowing life!\n\n\n\nPreparation for Easter begins with the season of Great Lent. In addition to fasting, almsgiving, and prayer, Orthodox Christians cut down on all entertainment and non-essential worldly activities, gradually eliminating them until Great and Holy Friday, the most austere day of the year. On the evening of Great and Holy Saturday, the Midnight Office commences an hour or two before midnight (see paschal vigil).\n\n''Religious Procession in Kursk Province'', a controversial painting by Ilya Repin (1880\u201383), depicting a Bright Week outdoor procession.\nAt its completion all light in the church building is extinguished, and all wait in darkness and silence for the stroke of midnight. Then, a new flame is struck in the altar, or the priest lights his candle from the perpetual lamp kept burning there, and he then lights candles held by deacons or other assistants, who then go to light candles held by the congregation (this practice has its origin in the reception of the Holy Fire at the Church of the Holy Sepulchre in Jerusalem). Then the priest and congregation go in a procession around the temple, holding lit candles, chanting:\n\n\nBy Thy Resurrection O Christ our savior,\nthe angels in Heaven sing,\nenable us who are on Earth,\nto glorify thee in purity of heart.\n\n\nThis procession reenacts the journey of the Myrrhbearers to the Tomb of Jesus \"very early in the morning\". After circling around the temple once or three times, the procession halts in front of the closed doors. In the Greek practice the priest reads a selection from the Gospel Book. Then, in all traditions, the priest makes the sign of the cross with the censer in front of the closed doors (which represent the sealed tomb).\n\nTraditional Paschal Outdoor Procession during Bright Week by Russian Orthodox Old-Rite Church.\nHe and the people chant the Paschal Troparion, and all of the bells and semantra are sounded. Then all re-enter the temple and paschal matins begins immediately, followed by the paschal hours and then the paschal divine liturgy. The Paschal Homily of St. John Chrysostom is read at matins.\n\nAfter the dismissal of the liturgy, the priest may bless paschal eggs and baskets brought by the faithful containing those foods which have been forbidden during the Great Fast. Immediately after the Liturgy it is customary for the congregation to share a meal, essentially an ag\u00e1p\u0113 dinner (albeit at 2:00\u00a0am or later).\n\nIn Greece the traditional meal is ''mageiritsa'', a hearty stew of chopped lamb liver and wild greens seasoned with egg-and-lemon sauce. Traditionally, easter eggs, hard-boiled eggs dyed bright red to symbolize the spilt Blood of Christ and the promise of eternal life, are cracked together to celebrate the opening of the Tomb of Christ.\n\nThe next morning, Easter Sunday proper, there is no Divine Liturgy, since the liturgy for that day has already been celebrated. Instead, in the afternoon \"Ag\u00e1p\u0113 Vespers\" is sung. In this service, it has become customary during the last few centuries for the priest and members of the congregation to read a portion of the Gospel of John in as many languages as they can manage, to show the universality of the Resurrection.\n\nFor the remainder of the week, known as \"Bright Week\", fasting (other than before holy communion is suppressed, and the customary Paschal greeting is: \"Christ is risen!\", to which the response is: \"Truly he is risen!\" This may also be done in many different languages. The services during Bright Week are nearly identical to those on Easter itself, except that they do not take place at midnight, but at their normal times during the day. The outdoor procession during Bright Week takes place either after paschal matins or the paschal divine liturgy.\n" " Non-observing Christian groups " "\nNonconformist Protestant Christians prefer to use a simple Christian cross, rather than a crucifix, to emphasize the Resurrection.\nAlong with the celebration of Christmas and Advent, many Lenten and Easter traditions were altered or even abandoned altogether by various offshoots of the Protestant Reformation, as they were deemed \"pagan\" or \"Popish\" (and therefore tainted) by many of the Reformation's Puritan movements. However, some of the major Reformation Churches and movements (Lutheran, Methodist and Anglican for example), chose to retain a large proportion of the observances of the established Church Year along with many of its associated traditions. In Lutheran Churches, for example, not only were the days of Holy Week observed, but also Christmas, Easter and Pentecost were observed with three-day festivals (the day itself and the two following).\n\nOther Protestant groups took a different attitude, with most Anabaptists, Quakers, Congregationalists and Presbyterian Puritans regarding such festivals as an abomination. The Puritan rejection of Easter traditions was (and is) based partly upon their interpretation of 2 Corinthians 6:14\u201316 and partly upon a more general belief that, if a religious practice or celebration is not actually written in the Christian Bible, then that practice/celebration must be a later development and cannot be considered an authentic part of Christian practice or belief\u2014so at best simply unnecessary, at worst actually sinful.\n\nGroups such as the Restored Church of God reject the celebration of Easter, seeing it as originating in a pagan spring festival taken over by the \"Roman\" Catholic Church.\n\nJehovah's Witnesses maintain a similar view, observing a yearly commemorative service of the Last Supper and the subsequent execution of Christ on the evening of Nisan 14 (as they calculate the dates derived from the lunar Hebrew Calendar). It is commonly referred to by many Witnesses as simply \"The Memorial\". Jehovah's Witnesses believe that such verses as Luke 22:19\u201320 and Cor| 11:26 constitute a commandment to remember the death of Christ though not the resurrection, and they do so on a yearly basis just as Passover is celebrated annually by the Jews.\n\nMembers of the Religious Society of Friends (Quakers), as part of their historic ''testimony against times and seasons'', do not celebrate or observe Easter or any other Christian holidays, believing instead that \"every day is the Lord's day\", and that elevation of one day above others suggests that it is acceptable to do un-Christian acts on other days. During the 17th and 18th centuries, Quakers were persecuted for this non-observance of Holy Days.\n\nSome Christian groups feel that Easter is something to be regarded with great joy: not marking the day itself, but remembering and rejoicing in the event it commemorates\u2014the miracle of Christ's resurrection. In this spirit, these Christians teach that each day and all Sabbaths should be kept holy, in Christ's teachings. Hebrew-Christian, Sacred Name, and Armstrong movement churches (such as the Living Church of God) usually reject Easter in favor of Nisan 14 observance and celebration of the Christian Passover. This is especially true of Christian groups that celebrate the New Moons or annual High Sabbaths in addition to seventh-day Sabbath. They support this textually with reference to the letter to the Colossians: \"Let no one\u00a0... pass judgment on you in matters of food and drink or with regard to a festival or new moon or sabbath. These are shadows of things to come; the reality belongs to Christ.\" (Col. 2:16\u201317, NAB)\n" " Easter celebrations around the world " "\nAn Easter postcard depicting the Easter Bunny.\n\nIn countries where Christianity is a state religion, or where the country has large Christian population, Easter is often a public holiday. As Easter is always a Sunday, many countries in the world also have Easter Monday as a public holiday. Some retail stores, shopping malls, and restaurants are closed on Easter Sunday. Good Friday, which occurs two days before Easter Sunday, is also a public holiday in many countries, as well as in 12 U.S. states. Even in states where Good Friday is not a holiday, many financial institutions, stock markets, and public schools are closed. Few banks that are normally open on regular Sundays are closed on Easter.\n\nIn the Nordic countries Good Friday, Easter Sunday and Easter Monday are public holidays, and Good Friday and Easter Monday are bank holidays. In Denmark, Iceland and Norway also Maundy Thursday is a public holiday. It is a holiday for most workers except some shopping malls which keep open for a half-day. Many businesses give their employees almost a week off, called Easter break. Schools are closed between Palm Sunday and Easter Monday. According to a 2014 poll, 6 of 10 Norwegians travel during Easter, often to a countryside cottage; 3 of 10 said their typical Easter included skiing.\n\nIn the Netherlands both Easter Sunday and Easter Monday are national holidays. Like first and second Christmas Day, they are ''both'' considered Sundays, which results in a first and a second Easter Sunday, after which the week continues to a Tuesday. Even though Good Friday is an official national holiday, it is not a mandatory day off for commercial companies.\n\nIn Commonwealth nations Easter Day is rarely a public holiday, as is the case for celebrations which fall on a Sunday. In the United Kingdom both Good Friday and Easter Monday are bank holidays. However, in Canada Easter Sunday is a public holiday, along with Easter Monday. In the Canadian province of Quebec, either Good Friday or Easter Monday are statutory holidays (although most companies give both). In some countries Good Friday is a public holiday as well.\n\nIn Australia, because of its location in the southern hemisphere, Easter takes place in autumn. Hence, Australian Easter is associated with harvest time, rather than with the coming of spring as in the northern hemisphere. The religious aspect of Easter remains the same. Good Friday and Easter Monday are public holidays across all states and territories. \"Easter Saturday\" (the Saturday before Easter Sunday) is a public holiday in every state except Tasmania and Western Australia, while Easter Sunday itself is a public holiday only in New South Wales. Easter Tuesday is additionally a conditional public holiday in Tasmania, varying between award, and was also a public holiday in Victoria until 1994.\n\nEaster eggs are a popular cultural symbol of Easter.\nIn the United States, because Easter falls on a Sunday, which is already a non-working day for federal and state employees, it has not been designated as a federal or state holiday. Easter parades are held in many American cities, involving festive strolling processions, with the New York City parade being the best known.\n\n=== Easter eggs ===\n\nEaster eggs are specially decorated eggs given out to celebrate the Easter festival. The custom of the Easter egg originated in the early Christian community of Mesopotamia, who stained eggs red in memory of the blood of Christ, shed at his crucifixion. As such, for Christians, the Easter egg is a symbol of the empty tomb. The oldest tradition is to use dyed chicken eggs, but a modern custom is to substitute eggs made from chocolate, or plastic eggs filled with candy such as jellybeans.\n\nThe Easter Bunny is a popular legendary anthropomorphic Easter gift-giving character analogous to Santa Claus in American culture. Many Americans follow the tradition of coloring hard-boiled eggs and giving baskets of candy. On Easter Monday, the President of the United States holds an annual Easter egg roll on the White House lawn for young children. Since the rabbit is a pest in Australia, the Easter Bilby is available as an alternative. Easter eggs are a widely popular symbol of new life in Poland and other Slavic countries' folk traditions. A batik-like decorating process known as pisanka produces intricate, brilliantly-colored eggs.\n\nThe celebrated House of Faberg\u00e9 workshops created exquisite jewelled eggs for the Russian Imperial Court.\n" " See also " "\n\n* Divine Mercy Sunday\n* Good Friday\n* Easter customs\n* \u0112ostre\n* Life of Jesus in the New Testament\n* Movable Eastern Christian Observances\n* Resurrection of Jesus\n* Greek words (wiktionary): \u03a0\u03ac\u03c3\u03c7\u03b1 (Easter) vs \u03c0\u03ac\u03c3\u03c7\u03b1 (Passover) vs \u03c0\u03ac\u03c3\u03c7\u03c9 (to suffer).\n" " Footnotes " "\n" " References " "\n" " External links " "\n\n\n\n\n; Liturgical\n* 50 Catholic Prayers for Easter\n* Liturgical Resources for Easter\n* Holy Pascha: The Resurrection of Our Lord (Orthodox icon and synaxarion)\n\n; Traditions\n* Liturgical Meaning of Holy Week (Greek Orthodox Archdiocese of Australia)\n* Easter in the Armenian Orthodox Church\n* Roman Catholic View of Easter (from the ''Catholic Encyclopedia'')\n* Easter in Belarus: In Pictures on the official website of the Republic of Belarus\n* Polish Easter Traditions\n\n; Calculating\n* A Perpetual Easter and Passover Calculator Julian and Gregorian Easter for any year plus other info\n* Almanac\u2014The Christian Year Julian or Gregorian Easter and associated festivals for any year\n* Easter Dating Method for calculator\n* Dates for Easter 1583\u20139999\n* Orthodox Paschal Calculator Julian Easter and associated festivals in Gregorian calendar 1583\u20134099\n* About the Greek Easter and Greek Easter Calculator Orthodox Paschal calculator with technical discussion and full source code in javascript\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n"
"Eclipse (greyhounds)" "Introduction" "\nThe '''Eclipse''' is a greyhound racing competition held annually at Nottingham Greyhound Stadium.\n\nIt was inaugurated in 1938 at Lythalls Lane Stadium in Coventry. Following the closure of the stadium in 1964 the competition briefly switched to Kings Heath Stadium before that in turn also closed down in 1971. Hall Green Stadium acted as a temporary host before the race returned to its roots in Coventry at the Brandon Stadium. Coventry stopped greyhound racing in 1986 so Nottingham stepped in and have held the race ever since. \n" "Past winners" "{| class=\"wikitable\" style=\"text-align:center\"\n+\n\n Year !! Winner !!

"Electric Boogie" "Introduction" "\n\"'''Electric Boogie'''\" (also known as the \"'''Electric Slide'''\") is a dance song performed by Marcia Griffiths. It is strongly associated with the \"Electric Slide\" line dance. \"Electric Boogie\" was released in 1982 and reached number 51 on the US Billboard Hot 100. It was written and originally recorded in 1976 with Bunny Wailer.\n\nGriffiths' version was actually a hit in 1983 when it was first released, but reached its highest Billboard chart position of 51 in The Hot 100 in 1990, and has since become a celebratory staple. The song is very popular in the US at weddings, bar and bat mitzvahs, and other special occasions.\n" "See also" "*Electric boogaloo (disambiguation)\n" "References" "\n\n\n\n\n\n\n"
"Embassy of Poland, Washington, D.C." "Introduction" "\n\nThe '''Embassy of the Republic of Poland in Washington, D.C.''' is the diplomatic mission of the Republic of Poland to the United States of America. The chancery is located at 2640 16th Street NW, Washington, D.C.\n\nPiotr Wilczek is the current Ambassador.\n" "Main Chancery Building" "The Chancery of the Polish Embassy in Washington, D.C.\nThe Polish Embassy in Washington, D.C. was designed by the architect George Oakley Totten and was originally intended to be the city home of the U.S. Senator John B. Henderson. Completed early in 1910, the building was finished in a style reminiscent of seventeenth and eighteenth century French mansionettes, however, it also incorporates major elements of English styling, such as the use of double-hung windows, limestone balconies and the addition of an elaborate iron and glass marquee over the front.\n\nThe building was purchased on behalf of the government of the newly independent Polish nation in 1919 by the country's first ambassador to the United States, Prince Kazimierz Lubomirski. Since then, very few changes have been made and the building thus retains many of its outstanding period features. In 1978 a team of specialists was brought from Poland to repair and renovate the ornate plaster and woodwork of the embassy's state rooms, returning the interior to its former grandeur and restoring its artistic integrity.\n\nIn the embassy's main 'salon' stands a large Steinway piano which is still frequently used to entertain guests at many of the embassy's events throughout the year. The instrument not only evokes memories of music played on it by outstanding musicians over the years, but, as a gift to the Embassy during World War II from Ignacy Jan Paderewski, is also in itself a symbol of Polish patriotism. Paderewski played it during his last American tour, when he unfortunately fell ill and had to cancel his concerts. He died soon after in 1941 and was buried in Arlington National Cemetery with the request that his body be returned to Poland 'only when his country is independent once more'. This request was finally carried out in 1992 when he was exhumed from his grave in Arlington and reinterred in Warsaw's Pow\u0105zki Cemetery.\n\nThroughout the embassy there is a large and varied array of both portraits and landscapes by a number of Polish artists of different eras. Amongst these is an original oil on canvas portrait by Josef Grassi of Polish national hero Tadeusz Ko\u015bciuszko, a Pole who after meeting with Benjamin Franklin in Paris proceeded to the United States to fight in the revolutionary war and who ultimately went on to design the fortifications at West Point. Ko\u015bciuszko then returned to Poland and devoted his life to achieving Polish freedom. It is to this end that he led the Ko\u015bciuszko Uprising, which aimed to liberate Poland from the partitioning powers of Prussia, Austria and the Russian Empire.\n" "Ambassador's Residence" "The Polish ambassador's residence in Washington, D.C. is currently located in the fashionable 'Embassy Row' area of Washington, on Whitehaven Street, an address also shared by the diplomatic missions of Italy and Denmark. Adjacent to the British Embassy and near to the Washington home of former U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, the house is considered one of the finest ambassadorial residences in the city.\n\nBought by the Polish government in 2008 as part of a Polish Foreign Office policy to purchase \"buildings befitting diplomacy,\" for a reported price of $9,550,000, the embassy is currently inhabited by Polish ambassador to the United States Robert Kupiecki who presented his letter of credence to the State Department on April 22, 2008. The house, built in 1927, was formerly the Washington residence of the late billionaire philanthropist, art collector, and horse breeder Paul Mellon and his widow, Listerine heiress, Rachel (\u201cBunny\u201d) Mellon.\n\nThe house itself is of the late Georgian style, a form of architecture which experienced a popular revival in 1920s Washington, D.C. and particularly in grand residential projects of the era. The residence features a small stone portico, a relatively large garden, private driveway accessed through large wrought iron gates from Whitehaven Street, and a modest conservatory and swimming pool to the rear. Additionally the Polish flag is now to be found raised in front of the property.\n\nThe house is used primarily as the Washington residence of the incumbent ambassador and his family, however it performs an important secondary function in providing an intimate and comfortable location for entertaining the embassy's many official guests as well as conducting embassy garden parties on state holidays and at various points throughout the year.\n" "Other sections" "There are a number of other sections of the Polish embassy which are located in buildings other than the Chancery. The economic section of the embassy for example, which deals with all trade and business interests processed through the embassy, is located at 1503 21st Street NW.\n\nThe consular section of the embassy, which deals with all visa and passport matters as well as serving a number of other functions to both polish citizens and those foreign (visa) nationals wishing to visit or take up residence in Poland, is located at 2224 Wyoming Avenue NW.\n\n\n" "See also" "*Poland \u2013 United States relations\n*List of diplomatic missions of Poland\n*Foreign relations of Poland\n*Polish nationality law\n" "References" "\n" "External links" "\n* Embassy of the Republic of Poland in Washington, D.C. \n* wikimapia\n\n\n\n\n"

"Fertility symbol" "Introduction" "A '''fertility symbol''' is an object used by early historical human societies representing fertility, reminders of which remain in folklore today.\n" "Ancient forms" "\nFertility symbols have traditionally taken on many different forms. The prehistoric Venus of Willendorf is commonly regarded as an example of a feminine fertility symbol - its rotundity and obesity being seen as attractive in times when food was scarce.\n\nCertain animals that reproduce prolifically are also seen as fertility symbols, such as frogs and rabbits - the Easter Bunny as symbol of rebirth and fertility - while the same is also true of the widespread classical image of intertwining snakes. Freud considered the pig to be a further primitive symbol of fertility.\n\nThe Sacred marriage of sovereign Queen/mother and the annually dying fertility godling was itself a fertility symbol. Not unconnected was the phallus as a symbol of vegetative fertility, linked to the notion that the ritual performance of the sexual act promotes agricultural growth.\n" "Hindu mythology" "\n\u015aiva the Hindu god was worshipped as the principle of generation through the symbol of the lingam (phallus). His complement is the river Ganges, his mistress and the mother of all fertilising rivers.\n" "Modern survivals" "\nTwo treasures of Bran the Blessed, his magical horn and platter providing food and drink on demand, were fertility symbols that have been associated with the legend of the Holy Grail.\n\nThe Cerne Abbas giant is a fertility symbol, which offered help in conception to childless women. Similarly, the Maypole is a phallic pole celebrating the sexual renewal of life in spring.\n\nWestern marriage ceremonies regularly include the throwing of rice and the bouquet - vegetative symbols of fertility. The shoe tied to the happy couple's car can been seen to represent the fertile vagina, as with The Old Woman Who Lived in a Shoe.\n\n===Psychology===\n\nFor Jung himself, 'the phallus always means the creative mana, the power of healing and fertility'; while Lacan considered that 'the phallus is...the image of the vital flow as it is transmitted in generation'.\n\nConversely, Eric Berne saw the vagina as a fertility symbol promising both protection and productivity.\n" "Western art" "\n* In Botticelli's ''Primavera'', on the one hand 'the Three Graces represented by nubile young women...embody the sexual powers of springtime'; while opposite them 'Flora, goddess of Spring...is a symbol of motherhood and, by her distribution of the roses gathered in her skirt, the good things of life'.\n* In Picasso' paintings of Marie-Th\u00e9r\u00e8se Walter, 'everywhere there are symbols of growth and fertility...green, the colour of nature's renewal'. In his 'series of sleeping nudes...Picasso may have been influenced by the much reproduced Hal Saflieni ''Reclining Woman''...and the Venuses of Lespugue and Willendorf, which with their heavy, ripe, bulging forms can be viewed as ancestresses of Picasso's images of female fecundity'.\n" "Literature" "\n* In ''The Bacchae'' Dionysus - as 'a kind of male fertility god' - 'represented that special kind of vitality which we sometimes refer to as the Life Force. It is a force which, in itself, is neither good nor bad. It simply exists...'\n* When at the close of ''Possession: A Romance'' the two lovers finally unite in the midst of a great storm, they wake the next day to find 'the whole world had a strange new smell...a green smell, a smell of shredded leaves and oozing resin, of crushed wood and splashed sap, a tart smell, which bore some relation to the smell of bitten apples. It was the smell of death and destruction and it smelled fresh and lively and hopeful'.\n" "See also" "\n" "References" "\n" "Further reading" "\nJames G.

"Flemish Giant rabbit" "Introduction" "This fawn doe weighs about 9\u00a0kg (20\u00a0lb).The '''Flemish Giant''' is a breed of domestic rabbit (''Oryctolagus cuniculus'') known for its large size.\n" "History" "Flemish Giant\nThe Flemish Giant originated in Flanders. It was bred as early as the 16th century near the city of Ghent, Belgium. It is believed to have descended from a number of meat and fur breeds, possibly including the ''Steenkonijn'' (''Stone Rabbit''\u2014referring to the old Belgian weight size of one stone or about ) and the European \"Patagonian\" breed (now extinct). This \"Patagonian\" rabbit, a large breed that was once bred in Belgium and France, was not related to the Patagonian rabbit of Argentina (''Sylvilagus brasiliensis''), a separate wild species weighing less than two pounds (about 1\u00a0kg), nor the Patagonian hare (''Dolichotis patagonum''), a species in the cavy family of rodents that cannot interbreed with rabbits.\nThomas Coatoam, in his ''Origins of the Flemish Giants'', tells us, \"The earliest authentic record of the Flemish Giant Rabbit occurred about the year 1860.\"\n \nsheltie.\nThe first standards for the breed were written in 1893. The Flemish Giant is an ancestor of many rabbit breeds all over the world, one of which is the Belgian Hare, imported into England in the mid 19th century. The Flemish Giant was exported from England and Belgium to America in the early 1890s to help improve the size of meat rabbits during the great \"rabbit boom\".\n\nIt received little attention until about 1910 where it started appearing at small livestock shows throughout the country. Today, it is one of the more popular breeds at rabbit shows because of its unusually large size and its varying colors. It is promoted by the National Federation of Flemish Giant Rabbit Breeders, which was formed in 1915. The Flemish Giant has many nicknames, first and foremost the \"Gentle Giant\" for its uniquely docile personality and also the \"universal rabbit\" for its varied purposes as pet, show, breeding, meat and fur animal.\n" "Appearance" "This sandy doe displays a well-developed dewlap.As one of the largest breeds of domestic rabbit, the Flemish Giant is a semi-arch type rabbit with its back arch starting in back of the shoulders and carrying through to the base of the tail giving a \"mandolin\" shape. The body of a Flemish Giant Rabbit is long and powerful, with relatively broad hindquarters. The fur of the Flemish Giant is known to be glossy and dense. When stroked from the hindquarters to the head, the fur will roll back to its original position.\n\nBucks have a broad, massive head in comparison to does, and can take 1.5 years to reach full maturity. Does may have a large, full, evenly carried dewlap (the fold of skin under their chins), and can take 1 year to reach their full maturity.\n\nFlemish Giant Rabbits weigh 15 pounds on average, though the biggest ones can weigh up to 22\u00a0lb, and the longest one on record (in fact, holding the record for the longest rabbit in the world of any kind), measured about 32 inches long.\n\nThe American Rabbit Breed Association (ARBA) standard recognized seven different colors for this breed: black, blue, fawn, sandy, light gray, steel gray, and white. The show standard minimum weight for a senior doe is 14\u00a0lb (about 6.4\u00a0kg), and the show standard minimum weight of a Senior buck is 13\u00a0lb (about 5.9\u00a0kg).\n" "Behavior and lifestyle" "\nFlemish Giant rabbit\nFlemish Giants can be docile and tolerant of handling; frequent interaction with humans is a requirement for this to occur. Flemish Giants, like all rabbits, can become fearful, and sometimes aggressive, if handled incorrectly or irresponsibly. Their larger frame requires special attention paid to the spine alignment when handling a Flemish Giant, or any rabbit for that matter. Consequently, potential owners should consider these factors in addition to their size, level of food consumption, and substantial waste production before buying.\n\nDue to its large size, the Flemish Giant needs substantial living quarters that provide ample opportunity for physical movement. The House Rabbit Society recommends keeping rabbits inside the home in a very large pen or room(s) in the home. Larger dog crates are often more appropriate than traditional rabbit and small-pet cages, which tend to be smaller and shorter. In the United States Department of Agriculture's standards for animal housing, rabbits over 12 pounds must have at least five square feet of floor space. The size of appropriate living quarters increases with size of the rabbit.\n\nCages with incorrectly sized wire gauge bottoms (as opposed to small gauge wire or solid bottoms) can harm the feet of a Flemish Giant more so than smaller house rabbits due to their increased weight. A resting board may be required to prevent sore hocks for a larger breed rabbit. The Flemish Giant will require larger quantities of food compared to smaller breeds of domestic rabbits. Like some other short hair breeds of rabbits, the Flemish Giant will usually require mild attention to grooming due to its shorter hair. Shedding during the spring and fall transition periods tend to be the most dramatic, with smaller sheds often occurring in between.\n" "Diet" "Flemish Giant\nFlemish Giants can be fed like other rabbits, with the amount of food increased to match their larger size. ARBA recommendations include hay and occasional treats.\n\nA high protein diet of 16% or more is need for them to gain bone mass while growing and later when muscle mass develops. Apples, cabbage or broccoli in small amounts can be given as treats and slowly increased. A quarter apple per rabbit every other day for 3 weeks can be increased to a half apple after that. Do not feed the core or seeds to the rabbit. Since Flemish Giants do not reach full size until they are 1.5 years old, they need to be fed a lot until then. When females have babies and during winter, they need to be fed as much as they can eat, and given plenty of water.\n\nIn supplementing a commercial diet, care must be taken to avoid excess protein, calories, and minerals such as salt and calcium, which in excess can cause kidney stones. Overfeeding leading to obesity is a major health concern for both commercial and pet rabbits.\n\nThe House Rabbit Society recommends 2 cups of chopped leafy vegetables per 6 pounds (3\u00a0kg) of body weight and no more than 2 tablespoons of fruit or carrots per 6 pounds of body weight daily.\n" "Breeding" "Two-week-old Flemish Giants\nThe American Rabbit Breeders' Association (ARBA) recommends delaying breeding of female rabbits until they reach the senior weight range. For Flemish Giants, this is 14 pounds, and a typical rabbit will reach this weight when they are about 9 months to one year. A Flemish Giant can take up to 1.5 years to reach their maximum weight and a breeder should wait until the rabbit is slightly over a year old before breeding. Females and males can become sexually mature at 4 months and 8 days. Once the rabbits are 3 months old they should be keep in separate cages or put females with females and males with males. If fighting occurs then they must be separated. The breeding lifespan of a rabbit is variable. Some breeders prefer not to have any more litters after the age of three years while others continue to produce quality litters for five to eight years. The gestation period is between 28\u201331 days. On average they give birth at 30\u201332 days. The Flemish Giant rabbit can produce large litters, usually between 5 and 12 in a litter.\n\nA nesting box filled with hay is given to the female as she prepares for birth. After birth, clean out the hay, replace with some new hay, and check to see if babies are all alive. Check box every day in case babies die and take them out.\n" " Uses " "Apart from being kept as a pet, the Flemish Giant is used for meat, fur, show, pet assisted therapy and education.\n\n=== 4-H and Show ===\nFlemish Giants, due to their uncomplicated grooming requirements and docile personalities, are used by 4-H programs throughout the United States as a starter rabbit for teaching children responsibility and care of farm animals and pets.\nAnother very popular youth program outside of 4-H that promotes responsible show breeding is the National Federation of Flemish Giant Breeders Youth Program.\nFlemish Giants are the second oldest domesticated rabbit breed in the United States, following behind the now rare Belgian Hare.\n\n=== Raising for pets & profit ===\n\nFlemish Giants make excellent pets as they are calm, but heavy for most children to handle. They require a lot of space. Outdoor cages should be 5 feet by 3 feet ( 1.5 meters by 1 meter). Cages must be in the shade so the rabbits do not overheat. Cages should be protected from wind using painter drop cloth. Cages should have plywood roofs to protect rabbits from rain and snow. They eat at least .5\u00a0kg. or more food a day of dried rabbit pellets. They expel a lot of waste.\nFlemish Giants are not typically regarded as \"meat\" rabbits because much of the commercial rabbit market focuses on young rabbits, usually around 70 days of age. At this time, Flemish Giants are developing bone mass rather than muscle. However, when raised to roasting (under 6 months) and stewing (over 6 months) age, the size of the Flemish makes them desirable. They are also often bred with other meat rabbit breeds, such as the New Zealand, to increase both meat-to-bone ratio and litter size.\n\nDue to the large amount of high protein food they consume and the cost of this food, the selling of the Flemish Giants for meat is not profitable; as buyers want to give just a few dollars per rabbit.\n" "See also" "\n*French Lop\n*Domestic rabbit\n" "References" "\n" "External links" "\n* (US) National Federation of Flemish Giant Rabbit Breeders\n* ARBA Standard of Perfection 2011-2015\n* Flemish Giant Breed information\n* Flemish Giant Rabbit Breed History\n* Breeds of Rabbits Chart\n\n\n\n"
"Fluffy bunny (Wicca)" "Introduction" "The term \"'''Fluffy Bunny'''\" is used as a derogatory term within the contemporary Pagan religion of Wicca to refer to practitioners whose adherence to the faith is perceived as being superficial and dominated by consumerist values. In doing so, it contrasts the speakers' perception that their own practice of Wicca is authentic with that of the inauthentic \"fluffy bunny\". The usage of the term has been examined by a number of academics operating in the field of Pagan studies.\n" "Definitions" "\nAngela Coco and Ian Woodward studied a 2002 discussion thread in which Wiccan participants debated what it meant to be a \"fluffy bunny\". They concluded that the participants associated a number of traits with those they labelled as \"fluffy bunnies\": \"pragmatic, profiteering, dabbling, modern, superficial, peripheral to community, playful, and using multimedia to further practical and capitalist values.\" For many of those contributing to the thread, the term \"fluffy bunny\" was \"linked to the person who\nis uninformed, immature, and lacking in their understanding of the forces of nature and consequently dangerous because they may misuse magic.\"\nThey added that on this thread, a minority of participants defended the legitimacy of \"fluffy bunnies\" to practice Wicca as they saw fit, highlighting that not all practitioners have the same level of experience and involvement in the religion. They also noted that various practitioners expressed the opinion or hope that no-one would think that they themselves were \"fluffy bunnies\". Ultimately, they thought that the term \"fluffy bunny\" was a trope used \"to invoke a generally felt collective consciousness of an \"authentic pagan\" identity\".\n\nSince the religion's rise in popularity, several pejorative terms such as \"fluffy bunny\" or the \"old lady brigade\" have been used in the Wiccan and Neo-Pagan community to describe adherents that they view as superficial or faddish. Common descriptions given by people using the term include elements such as the practitioner deliberately choosing to emphasize goodness, light, eclecticism and elements taken from the New Age movement over elements seen as too dark, as well as the practitioner appearing to follow the religion as a fad. The term \"fluffy bunny\" became more prevalent in the 1990s after it was used to describe a depiction of the Wiccan religion in the television series ''Buffy the Vampire Slayer''. The show, which featured a Wiccan coven, raised ire from practitioners of Wicca who believe that the coven in the show reinforced stereotypes.\n\nModern colloquial usage of the term in communities such as Tumblr and eCauldron has changed to indicate people who are willfully ignorant or purveyors of false information (notably, incorrect statistics and facts regarding \"The Burning Times\"), rather than those who prefer \"love and light\" New Age philosophies or who emulate pop culture.\n" "References" "\n===Footnotes===\n\n\n===Bibliography===\n\n: \n:\n:\n:\n:\n\n" "External links" "* Criticism of \"Fluffy Bunnies\" on Wicca: For The Rest of Us\n\n\n\n\n"
"Fool's Gold (2008 film)" "Introduction" "\n'''''Fool's Gold''''' is an 2008 American adventure-romance film from Warner Bros. Pictures about a recently divorced couple who rekindle their romantic life while searching for a lost treasure. The film was directed by Andy Tennant and reunites the ''How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days'' stars Matthew McConaughey and Kate Hudson.\n" "Plot" "\n\"Finn\" Finnegan is a treasure hunter searching for a sunken Spanish galleon, the ''Aurelia'', that was lost at sea with the 1715 Treasure Fleet. During his search to find the galleon and its treasure, his wife Tess divorces him. Tess has been working as a steward on a yacht owned by multi-millionaire Nigel Honeycutt. Finn finds a clue to the location of the treasure and manages to get on Nigel Honeycutt's yacht ''The Precious Gem'' and convince him and his daughter Gemma to join (and fund) the search for the treasure.\n\nBigg Bunny, a gangster, and Finn's mentor, Moe Fitch, are intent on finding the treasure first. ''The Precious Gem'' and Moe's vessel compete to find the treasure in The Bahamas. As Finn attempts to secretly take down Moe's search grid, Finn discovers a sword which holds a clue to finding the treasure. Tess and Finn follow the clues to an ancient church and discover a diary describing the location of the treasure. Bigg Bunny and his associates, who have been following Tess and Finn, take Tess hostage and assume incorrectly that Finn is dead. Bigg Bunny forces Tess to aid him in the search for the treasure in a blowhole. Tess finds the treasure in a cave beneath the blowhole.\n\nFinn and the Honeycutts enlist Moe to help steal the treasure from Bigg Bunny. They arrive as Bigg Bunny sends one of his associates back into the water to find out who was killed in the blowhole. The blowhole kills Bigg Bunny's employee and traps Finn and Tess. Tess saves Finn, but Bigg Bunny kidnaps Tess again. Gemma transports Finn to Bigg Bunny's plane on her jet ski, and Finn leaps onto the plane's pontoon as takes flights. Bigg Bunny attempts to shoot Finn, but Tess kicks Bigg Bunny out of the plane, sending him into the ocean. Moe takes Bigg Bunny's henchman as a prisoner.\n\nTess and Finn are reunited and find the treasure together. Tess is shown to be pregnant. In the end, the treasure is displayed in Moe's museum, now renamed the Fitch Finnegan Maritime Museum.\n" "Cast" "* Matthew McConaughey as Ben 'Finn' Finnegan\n* Kate Hudson as Tess Finnegan\n* Donald Sutherland as Nigel Honeycutt\n* Alexis Dziena as Gemma Honeycutt\n* Ray Winstone as Moe Fitch\n* Kevin Hart as Bigg Bunny Deenz\n* Ewen Bremner as Alfonz\n* Brian Hooks as Curtis\n* Malcolm-Jamal Warner as Cordell\n* Michael Mulheren as Eddie\n* Adam LeFevre as Gary\n* Rohan Nichol as Stefan\n* David Roberts as Cyrus\n* Roger Sciberras as Andras\n* Dan Mewing as Pilot\n" "Production" "\nWarner Bros. and director Andy Tennant planned to shoot the film in the Caribbean, but decided on Queensland, Australia because the hurricane season in the Caribbean was likely to stall production of the film. The Key West scenes were filmed in Port Douglas. Filming also took place in Brisbane, the Gold Coast, Hamilton Island, Lizard Island, Airlie Beach, and Hervey Bay. Scenes were also filmed at Batt Reef, where Steve Irwin died from a stingray barb in 2006.\n\nInside scenes were shot on a sound stage at the Warner Bros studio facility and the actors and crew stayed in luxury homes and apartments on the Gold Coast. McConaughey mentioned having a python in the backyard of his house in Port Douglas. McConaughey said, \"There were other days like the day we went out diving and swam with a dugong, which was very cool.\"\n\nTwo crew members were stung by Irukandji jellyfish during filming, so some of the water scenes were shot in the Caribbean because the actors were so frightened.\n\nAt the time of filming, ''The Precious Gem'' luxury motor yacht in the film was called the ''Keri Lee'' and has subsequently been renamed \"Penny Mae\". It was designed by yacht architect Ward Setzer of Setzer Design Group and originally named ''Status Quo''. It is privately owned and operated by Lee Group Charters.\n\nThe yacht's tender was a 2007 Chris-Craft Launch 25.\n\n===2011 lawsuit===\nWarner Brothers Entertainment, Inc., was sued in 2011 by Canadian novelist Lou Boudreau, in Canadian court, alleging copyright infringement by Tennant and two other men over the authorship of the script. Warner Brothers did not comment on the matter.\n" "Release" "\n===Box office===\n''Fool's Gold'' was released on February 8, 2008, in the North America and grossed $21.5 million in 3,125 theaters its opening weekend, ranking #1 at the box office. , the film grossed over $110.5 million worldwide \u2014 $70.2 million in the North America and $40.3 million in other territories.\n\n===Critical response===\nThe film received overwhelmingly negative reviews from critics. , the review aggregator Rotten Tomatoes reported that 11% of critics gave the film positive reviews, based on 143 reviews. Metacritic reported the film had an average score of 29 out of 100, based on 28 reviews.\n\nSeveral critics compared the film unfavorably to ''National Treasure'' and ''Romancing the Stone''. Some critics referred to the film as \"tedious\" and \"listless.\"\n\nPeter Travers of ''Rolling Stone'' gave the film zero stars out of four and said \"Paris Hilton's appalling ''The Hottie and the Nottie'' is \"marginally better.\" Travers wrote \"I defy any 2008 comedy to be as stupid, slack and sexless\" as ''Fool's Gold''.\n\nLou Lumenick of the ''New York Post'' gave the film one star out of four and called it \"excruciatingly lame.\" Lumenick said \"It's all basically an excuse to show off the scenery\", including McConaughey's abs.\n\nCarrie Rickey of ''The Philadelphia Inquirer'' gave the film one and a half stars out of four and said it \"plays like a Three Stooges movie with scuba gear.\", but that \"a Three Stooges movie is enlightened next to this one.\" Rickey described McConaughey as \"perennially shirtless\" and Hudson as \"peculiarly mirthless.\"\n\nPete Vonder Haar of ''Film Threat'' gave the film one and a half stars and said \"the resolution is never in doubt, the villains are comedic rather than menacing, and no one involved seems to care one way or the other that their names are attached to this indifferent mess.\" Vonder Haar said McConaughey plays Finn \"as ''Sahara'''s Dirk Pitt minus the SEAL training and a few million brain cells.\" and asked \"Does McConaughey have some codicil in his contract stipulating he must spend at least 51% of a movie shirtless?\"\n\nSid Smith of the ''Chicago Tribune'' gave it two stars out of four and said the characters \"are comic book clich\u00e9s.\" Smith said \"the outcome is predictable\" and \"The wasted talents include Sutherland, affecting a hokey British accent, and hatchet-faced Ewen Bremner.\"\n\nBrian Lowry of ''Variety'' said \"The lure of Matthew McConaughey shirtless for extended stretches doubtless has some marketing value, but after that, ''Fool's Gold'' offers small compensation.\" Lowry wrote \"At times the pic feels like a comedic version of ''The Deep'', only without the comedy.\" Lowry said the tropic scenery was well-shot but said \"there's not much chemistry\" between McConaughey and Hudson.\n\nCarina Chocano of the ''Los Angeles Times'' called it a \"cheesy, familiar bore\" and said it \"feels at times like a third-rate Bond movie set to a Jimmy Buffett album.\" Chocano said \"Hudson is the best thing about the movie. She has a likable, grounded presence and sharp comic timing.\"\n\nNathan Rabin of ''The A.V. Club'' gave the film a \"C+\" and called it \"the kind of thing people watch because it's the in-flight movie.\" Rabin called the repeated mentions of Finn's sexual prowess \"a delightfully unnecessary move.\" Rabin said the film \"outstays its welcome by a good 20 minutes\" and called it \"extravagantly stupid\", but that the film's strengths were the \"photogenic locales, obscenely beautiful stars, a laid-back soundtrack\" and an unwillingness to take itself seriously.\n\nLou Lumenick said the ending was \"surprisingly bloody\" and Brian Lowry said the ending is \"a little more violent than necessary\" and \"a bit grittier than it should be tonally, as if we've detoured into a different movie.\"\n\nSimon Braund of ''Empire'' magazine gave the film one star out of five and called it \"Absolute tosh. A ridiculous, unerringly tedious plot is weighed down by listless performances from a cast who clearly wished they were somewhere else, despite the sumptuous location.\"\n\nThe film earned a Razzie Award nomination for Kate Hudson as Worst Actress (also for ''My Best Friend's Girl'').\n\n===Home media===\n''Fool's Gold'' was released on DVD and Blu-ray discs on June 17, 2008. About 1,225,904 DVD units have been sold, acquiring revenue of $20,502,574. This does not include Blu-ray sales.

"Giga Pet" "Introduction" "\n'''Giga Pets''' are digital pets (also known as '''virtual pets''' or '''artificial pets''') that were first released in the United States by Tiger Electronics in 1997 in the midst of a virtual-pet toy fad. Available in a variety of different characters, essentially each is a palm-sized video screen attached to a key ring. To ensure a happy, healthy pet, its owner has to take care of it in some of the same ways one might care for a real animal. Among other things, Giga Pets have to be fed, cleaned, and played with.\n" "Operation" "Giga Pets are \"born\" on a tiny LCD screen after the owner pulls back a tab on the back. The pets come to life in different ways. For example, Baby T-Rex hatches from an egg. Compu Kitty is delivered by a stork. A beep sound and alert icon notify the owner that the pet requires attention. To determine what the Giga Pet needs, owners must scroll through various activities and push a button to select one. Activities include but are not limited to bathing, exercising, and disciplining the pet. Sometimes a selected activity is refused and the owner has to try a different one. A running score determines the pet\u2019s overall well-being; neglect leads to the pet\u2019s demise. The average life of a Giga Pet is 2 weeks but very healthy pets can live longer. When a Giga Pet dies it grows angel wings. When Giga Pets were initially tested, it was reported that the first thing most girls did was name their pets whereas most boys opted to discipline the digital creatures.\n" "History" "Giga Pets were created and released to compete with Tamagotchis, egg-shaped virtual pets that were introduced in Japan in 1996 by Bandai and are widely credited with initiating the virtual pet craze in the U.S., the UK, and other countries. In the U.S., Giga Pets were reported to be more readily available than Tamagotchis and at price of approximately $10 USD, roughly $5 less than the suggest retail price for their Japanese counterpart. By the end of 1997, Tiger Electronics, a then privately held electronics toy and game-maker based in Vernon Hills, Illinois, was one of many manufacturers creating virtual pets. Others included Fujitsu, PF Magic, Sega, Viacom New Media, Casio, and Technosphere.\n" "Giga Pets and Furby" "Roger Shiffman, a Chicago native and co-founder of Tiger Electronics, is credited as being the driving force behind Giga Pets and Furby, a furry interactive pet with big eyes and pointed ears that could talk, shuffle and sneeze. Intended to be a follow up to Giga Pets, Shiffman included Furby in the deal he made with Hasbro when Tiger Electronics was sold to the giant toy manufacturer in 1998 for $335 million USD. Approximately 20 million Furbies were sold in the first 6 months following its 1998 release.\n" "TV game and new handhelds launched in 2006" "Giga Pets Explorer TV Plug n Play Game was launched in the spring of 2006 along with new versions of Giga Pets handheld devices. The TV game came with three pets within the unit and one separate handheld unit (the hamster) and sold for approximately $40 USD. Handhelds were sold in a 12-package assortment of characters as well as individually. The characters Pixie, Tomcat, Puff Ball, Dragon Lizard, Scorpion and Bunny were all available individually at a suggested retail price of approximately $15 USD.\n" "Controversy" "Giga Pets, along with other virtual pets, were banned in some schools in different countries around the world including Iceland, Thailand, the U.S. and Canada primarily because they were deemed a distraction in the classroom. Common complaints included annoying beeping sounds and children\u2019s constant worry over their pets\u2019 well-being. Some parents felt Giga Pets were an ideal learning toy that taught children responsibility. Others worried their kids were becoming too attached.\n\nBeyond the classroom, Giga Pets and their kind inspired debate over the implications of caring for virtual pets versus biological pets. Some people thought the on/off/reset switch implied to children that death wasn\u2019t final and many people, some animal rights activists among them, believed that virtual pets taught children that caring for an animal was a matter of convenience.\n\nIn a Journal of American and Comparative Cultures article published in 2000, author, David W. Kritt, discussed the impact virtual pets had on young females in terms of gender stereotypes. Kritt claimed, \u201cThe implicit message to the predominantly female owners is that an emotional meaningful relationship is simply care and dependence. In contrast, flesh and blood pets provide mutuality, a relatively exclusive and enduring affection, and often some self-enhancing function.\u201d Kritt went on to address the impact of virtual pets on girls and technology. He wrote: \u201cDespite McLuhan\u2019s trenchant insight that the medium is the message, the virtual pet may not be so much a point of entry intro cyberspace for girls as it is a promoter of traditional values.\u201d Kritt argued that this message is amplified when a child\u2019s parent, particularly her mother, focuses on helping the daughter keep the virtual pet alive.\n" "See also" "*Digital Pet\n*Tamagotchi\n" "References" "\n\n\n\n"
"Girls on Film" "Introduction" "\n\n\n\n\n\"'''Girls on Film'''\" is the third single by Duran Duran, released on 13 July 1981.\n\nThe single became Duran Duran's Top 10 breakthrough in the UK Singles Chart, peaking at Number 5 in July 1981. The band personally selected the song for release following the failure of its predecessor, \"Careless Memories\", which had been chosen by their record company, EMI. Its popularity provided a major boost to sales of the band's eponymous debut album, ''Duran Duran'', which had been released a month earlier.\n\nThe song did not chart in the United States on its initial release, but it became popular and widely known after receiving heavy airplay on MTV when the ''Duran Duran'' album was re-issued in 1983. The song was used as the opening theme song for the anime series ''Speed Grapher'' and the night version appeared on 2012 Square Enix video game Sleeping Dogs.\n" "About the song" "The song begins with a recording of the rapid whirring of a motor drive on a camera. Both manager Paul Berrow and photographer Andy Earl claim to have supplied the camera for the recording.\n\nOver the years, \"Girls on Film\" has become a staple of the encores for Duran Duran's live performances and is often the final song of a concert, during which lead singer Simon Le Bon introduces the rest of the band.\n\nThe song, along with \"Rio\", was originally omitted from the 1984 live album ''Arena'' to make room for newer and less familiar album material from 1983's ''Seven and the Ragged Tiger''. Both tracks were included as bonus material in the 2004 CD reissue of ''Arena''.\n" "Music video" "The song fared well on the radio and the charts before the video was filmed, but the controversy that ensued helped to keep the band in the public eye and the song on the charts for many weeks.\n\nThe video was made with directing duo Godley & Creme at Shepperton Studios in July 1981. It was filmed just weeks before MTV was launched in the United States and before anyone knew what an impact the music channel would have on the industry. The band expected the \"Girls on Film\" video to be played exclusively at nightclubs that had video screens, or on Playboy Channel. The raunchy video created an uproar, and it was consequently banned by the BBC and heavily edited for its original run on MTV; the band unabashedly enjoyed and capitalised on the controversy.\n\nA Video 45 for \"Girls on Film\" and \"Hungry Like the Wolf\" was released in the United States in March 1983. The VHS-format tape contains the MTV-friendly edited \"day version\" of \"Girls on Film\", while the Betamax format contains the original uncensored \"night version\". The Video 45 won the Grammy Award for Best Short Form Music Video in 1984, the first year the Academy gave that award. The uncensored video was also included in the ''Duran Duran'' video album (1983) and the ''Greatest'' video collection (released on VHS in 1999, and on DVD in 2004, which it was given a restrictive 18 rating in the United Kingdom and Ireland). The edited version would later be used in the 2008 karaoke video game ''SingStar Pop Vol. 2''.\n\nSimon Le Bon commented in the audio interview on the ''Greatest'' DVD collection that the scandal of the music video overshadowed the song's message of fashion model exploitation.\n" "Summary of the uncensored full-length music video" "The band performs on an elevated stage behind a models' catwalk, which resembles a boxing ring, as various scantily clad women act out a series of erotic vignettes. A number of these scenarios feature mild depictions of BDSM, sexual fetishism and fantasy and recurring themes of seduction and abandonment: \n* Two models in lacy black teddies mount the catwalk carrying pillows. They straddle a shaving cream-covered post at either end and move toward the centre, sliding their crotches along the horizontal candy-striped shaft in a slow and suggestive manner. The models proceed to have a pillow fight, which causes their breasts to become partially exposed. Upon finishing, they kiss and return to their dressing room and pour champagne on each other's cleavage.\nThe Sumo wrestling match from \"Girls on Film\".\n* A petite female Sumo wrestler with her hair flared up in a tall tophawk ponytail mounts the catwalk to confront a lumbering, heavyset male Sumo wrestler. The woman is wearing a sheer top and a ''mawashi'' loincloth; the camera follows her as she enters, offering a generous, fetishistic view of her partially exposed buttocks. In the confrontational ''tachi-ai'' stance, she seizes her opponent by the shoulder and flips him forward head-over-heels. He somersaults and lands on his backside with a thud and she gives the ceremonial ''rei'' salutation (i.e., a bow) and walks away victorious.\n* A masseuse in a white nurse's uniform with white garter suspenders and sheer white stockings administers a full-body hot-oil massage to a man (the sumo wrestler) on a steam-bath table. She later walks away leaving the man unconscious.\n* A woman in a cowgirl costume rides on the back of a muscular, G-string-wearing, black male model who is fetishistically costumed as an equine. She later soaps his semi-nude body with a wet sponge and then leads him on a leash while he cavorts behind her.\n* A model wearing a one-piece swimsuit and high-heels struts and poses on the catwalk before falling backwards into a child's inflatable plastic wading pool and collapsing. She is \"rescued\" and revived by a male lifeguard. She responds by embracing and kissing the lifeguard so intensely that he becomes unconscious from exhaustion and is left in the pool while she walks away. The model is later seen reclining on a chair, nude, drying herself with an electric blow dryer before rubbing ice cubes on her nipples in closeup.\n* A brunette model removes her fur coat to reveal her breasts and skintight see-through plastic knickers underneath. She mud-wrestles with a blonde woman wearing a one-piece swimsuit. The blonde woman loses and is left behind in the mud, while the brunette woman is attended by a clothed male assistant who sprays the mud off her body with a water hose.\n" "B-sides, bonus tracks and remixes" "The b-side of the single was another song initially unavailable anywhere else, a synthesiser-heavy dance track called \"Faster Than Light\".\n\nThe extended night version of \"Girls on Film\", similar to \"Planet Earth\" wasn't a remix, but a completely new arrangement of the song. \n\nThere are two slightly different mixes of the Night Version, one clocking in at 5:45, the other at 5:27. The video version clocks in at 6:19.\n\nIn 1998, EMI released ''Girls on Film \u2013 The Remixes'', featuring a swathe of newly commissioned re-constructions of the song by Tall Paul and Tin Tin Out.

"Glen or Glenda" "Introduction" "\n\n''Glen or Glenda''\n'''''Glen or Glenda''''' is a 1953 American drama film written, directed by and starring Ed Wood (credited in his starring role as \"Daniel Davis\"), and featuring Bela Lugosi and Wood's then-girlfriend Dolores Fuller. The title was originally '''''I Changed My Sex!''''' and is often given as '''''Glen or Glenda?''''' but the question mark is not present in the film itself.\n\nThe film is a docudrama about cross-dressing and transsexuality, and is semi-autobiographical in nature. Wood himself was a cross-dresser, and the film is a plea for tolerance. It is widely considered one of the worst films ever. However, it has become a cult film due to its low-budget production values and idiosyncratic style.\n" "Plot" "\nThe film begins with a narrator, called The Scientist (Bela Lugosi), making cryptic comments about humanity. He first comments that humanity's constant search for the unknown, results in startling things coming to light. But most of these \"new\" discoveries are actually quite old, to which he refers to as \"the signs of the ages\". Later, the scene turns to the streets of a city, with the narrator commenting that each human has his/her own thoughts, ideas, and personality. He makes further comments on human life, while sounds accompany some comments. The cries of a newborn baby are followed by the sirens of an ambulance. One is a sign that a new life has begun, the other that a life has ended.\n\n\nThis last comment starts the narrative of the film. The life which has ended is that of a transvestite named Patrick/Patricia, who has committed suicide. A scene opens with his/her corpse in a small room. Within the room is an unidentified man who opens the door to a physician, a photographer, and the police. A suicide note explains the reasons behind the suicide. Patrick/Patricia had been arrested four times for cross-dressing in public, and had spent time in prison. Since he/she would continue wearing women's clothing, subsequent arrests and imprisonment were only a matter of time. So he/she ended his/her own life and wishes to be buried with his/her women's clothing. \"''Let my body rest in death forever, in the things I cannot wear in life.''\"\n\n\nInspector Warren is puzzled and wants to know more about cross-dressing. So he seeks the office of Dr. Alton, who narrates for him the story of Glen/Glenda. Glen is shown studying women's clothes in a shop window. Dr. Alton points out that men's clothes are dull and restrictive, whereas women can adorn themselves with attractive and comfortable clothing.\n A flashback scene reveals that a young Glen started out by asking to wear his sister's dress for a Halloween party. And he did, despite his father's protests. But he then continued wearing his sister's clothing, and Sheila (the sister) eventually caught him in the act. She shuns him afterward.\n\nThe narrative explains that Glen is a transvestite, but not a homosexual. He hides his cross-dressing from his fianc\u00e9e, Barbara, fearing that she will reject him.\n She has no idea that certain of her clothes are fetish objects for him. When Barbara notices that something is bothering him, Glen does not have the courage to explain his secret to her. She voices her suspicion that there is another woman in his life, unaware that the woman is his feminine inner self, Glenda. The scene shifts from a speechless Glen to footage of a stampeding herd of bison, while the Scientist calls for Glen to ''\"Pull the string''\". The meaning of the call is unclear, though it could be a call for opening the proverbial curtain and revealing the truth.\n\nAlton narrates that Glen is torn between the idea of being honest with Barbara before their wedding, or waiting until after. The narrative shifts briefly from Glen's story to how society reacts to sex change operations. A conversation between two \"average joes\", concludes that society should be more \"lenient\" when it comes to people with tranvestite tendencies. The story returns to Glen, who confides in a transvestite friend of his, John, whose wife left him after catching him wearing her clothes.\n\nLater, a scene opens with Glenda walking the city streets at night. He/she returns home in obvious anguish, when the sound of thunder causes him/her to collapse to the floor. The Scientist cryptically comments ''\"Beware! Beware! Beware of the big, green dragon that sits on your doorstep! He eats little boys, puppy dog tails, and big, fat snails! Take care! Beware!''\" This serves as the introduction to an extended dream sequence. The dream opens with Barbara anguished at seeing Glenda. Then Barbara is depicted trapped under a tree, while the room around is in a chaotic state. Glenda fails to lift the tree and rescue Barbara. Glenda is replaced by Glen, who completes the task with ease. The dream then depicts Glen and Barbara getting married. The priest seems normal but the best man is a stereotypical devil, smiling ominously, suggesting that this marriage is damned. The dream shifts to the Scientist, who seems to speak to the unseen dragon, asking it what it eats. The voice of a little girl provides the answers in an apparently mocking tone.\n\nThe dreams continues with a strange series of vignettes. A woman is whipped by a shirtless man in a BDSM-themed vignette. Several women \"flirt and partially disrobe\" for an unseen audience. A woman tears apart her dress in a dramatic manner, then starts a coy striptease. The whipped woman from an earlier vignette appears alone in an autoerotic session. Her pleasure is interrupted by another woman who forcibly binds and gags her. Another woman has a similar autoerotic session and then falls asleep. As she sleeps, a predatory male approaches and rapes her, with the victim seeming partially willing by the end of it. Throughout these vignettes, the faces of Glen and the Scientist appear. They seem to be silently reacting to the various images.\n\nThe dream returns to Glen, who is haunted by sounds of mocking voices and howling winds. He is soon confronted by two spectral figures. A blackboard appears, with messages recording what the Scientist or the mocking voices said in previous scenes. A large number of spectres appear, all gazing at him with disapproval, as if serving as the jury of public opinion on his perceived deviance. The mocking voices return. The Devil and the various spectres menacingly approach Glen. Then the Devil departs, Glen turns into Glenda, and the spectres retreat. A victorious Glenda sees Barbara and approaches her, but she turns into a mocking Devil. Barbara starts appearing and disappearing, always evading Glenda's embrace. Then she starts \nmocking her lover. The Devil and spectres also shift to mocking Glenda. The dream sequence ends.\n\nGlen/Glenda wakes and stares at his/her mirror reflection. He/she decides to tell Barbara the truth. She initially reacts with distress, but ultimately decides to stay with him. She offers him/her an angora sweater as a sign of acceptance. The scene effectively concludes their story.\n\nBack in Dr. Alton's office, he starts another narrative. This one concerns another tranvestite, called Alan/Ann. He was born a boy, but his mother wanted a girl and raised him as such. His/Her father did not care either way. He/She was an outsider as a schoolboy, trying to be one of the girls and consequently rejected by schoolmates of both sexes. As a teenager, he/she self-identified as a woman. He/she was conscripted in World War II, maintaining a secret life throughout his/her military service. He/she first heard of sex change operations during the War while recovering from combat wounds in a hospital. He/she eventually did have a sex change operation, enduring the associated pains to fulfill his/her dreams. The World War II veteran becomes a \"lovely young lady\". Following a brief epilogue, the film ends.\n" "Cast" "* Ed Wood as Glen / Glenda\n* Timothy Farrell as Dr. Alton / Narrator\n* Dolores Fuller as Barbara\n* Bela Lugosi as Scientist\n* 'Tommy' Haynes as Alan / Anne\n* Lyle Talbot as Inspector Warren\n* Charlie Crafts as Johnny\n* Conrad Brooks as Banker / Reporter / Pickup Artist / Bearded Drag\n" "Production" "\nShot in four days, the film was loosely inspired by the sex reassignment surgery of Christine Jorgensen, which made national headlines in the U.S. in 1952. George Weiss, a Hollywood producer of low-budget films, commissioned a movie to exploit it. Originally Weiss made Jorgensen several offers to appear in the film, but these were turned down. Wood convinced Weiss that his own transvestism made him the perfect director despite his modest resume. Wood was given the job, but instead made a movie about transvestism.\n\nWood persuaded Lugosi, at the time poor and drug-addicted, to appear in the movie. Lugosi's scenes were shot at the Jack Miles Studios in Los Angeles. He was reportedly paid $5000 for the role, although some stories state the actual amount was only $1000. Lugosi is credited as \"The Scientist\", a character whose purpose is unclear. He acts as a sort of narrator but gives no narration relevant to the plot; that job is reserved for the film's primary narrator, Timothy Farrell.\n\nThis was the only film Wood directed but did not also produce. Wood himself played the eponymous character, but under the pseudonym \"Daniel Davis\". His girlfriend, Dolores Fuller, played Glen's girlfriend. Wood later returned to ''Glen or Glenda'' in his pulp novel ''Killer in Drag'' (1963). The plot features a transvestite called Glen whose alter-ego is called Glenda. He is executed in the sequel ''Death of a Transvestite'' (1967) after a struggle for the right to go to the electric chair dressed as Glenda.\n\nThe erotic-themed vignettes were not created by Wood. They were reportedly added by producer George Weiss. He needed extra scenes to add to what he felt was an overtly -short film. While not organic parts of the narrative, they seem to tell their own tales of gender dynamics and so fit in the general themes of the film. The whipping scene suggests a Master/slave relationship. That the man is dominant and the woman submissive, seems to reflect male chauvinism. The flirtatious and striptease-themed vignettes were typical of 1950s exploitation films and grindhouse films. So was the rape scene.\n\nThe film has deleted scenes. In the theatrical trailer, included in laserdisc and DVD editions, the scene in which Fuller hands over her angora sweater, is a different take than the one in the release version \u2014 in the trailer, she tosses it to Wood in a huff, while the release version shows her handing it over more acceptingly. There is also a shot of Wood in drag, mouthing the word \"Cut!\"\n\nThe second part of the film, titled ''Alan or Anne'', is much shorter, told largely through stock footage, and was made to meet the distributor's demand for a sex change film. Alan is a pseudo-hermaphrodite who fights in World War II wearing women's underwear. After his return, Alan undergoes surgery to become a woman.\n" "Release" "Domestically, the film was limited in release, having been pre-sold to some theaters (under alternative titles such including ''I Led Two Lives'', ''He or She?'' and ''I Changed My Sex''). Internationally, the film was also limited, and in France and Belgium, the title was translated as ''Louis ou Louise'' and in Argentina as ''Yo Cambi\u00e9 Mi Sexo''; the film had a brief screening in the Republic of China.\n\nAccording to Tim Dirks, the film was one of a wave of \"cheap teen movies\" released for the drive-in market. They consisted of \"exploitative, cheap fare created especially for them teens in a newly-established teen/drive-in genre.\"\n\nIt was denied classification by the British Board of Film Classification upon submission on February 26, 1958.\n" "Legacy" "\nIn 1980, Wood was posthumously given the accolade of 'Worst Director of All Time' at the Golden Turkey Awards, and revival of interest in his work followed. This led to ''Glen or Glenda'' being reissued in 1982. This cut included six minutes of additional footage. One of the restored scenes features Glen rejecting a pass made to him by a man. At this point, the film was reviewed seriously, and reclaimed as a radical work, by Steve Jenkins in the ''Monthly Film Bulletin''.\n\nThe critic Leonard Maltin names ''Glen or Glenda'' as \"possibly the worst movie ever made\".\n\nIn 1994, Tim Burton chronicled the troubled production of ''Glen or Glenda'' in ''Ed Wood''. The film includes re-creations of several key scenes, including Lugosi's narration and Glen's plea for his girlfriend's understanding at the end of the film.\nA remake of the film, entitled ''Glen & Glenda'', was released the same year as ''Ed Wood'' and featured much the same script as the original film, as well as explicit scenes.\n\nIn the 2004 horror comedy film ''Seed of Chucky'', main characters Chucky and Tiffany spend the duration of the film feuding over whether they should call their male child \"Glen or Glenda\" as he lacks genitalia.\n\nIn 2006, the distributed operating system ''Plan 9 from Bell Labs'' had a mascot, Glenda, the Plan 9 Bunny, named after ''Glen or Glenda'' and ''Plan 9 from Outer Space''.\n\nIn 2011, the film ''Jack and Jill'' was nominated for every award at the 32nd Golden Raspberry Awards, including Worst Prequel, Remake, Ripoff or Sequel, where it was declared a Remake/Ripoff of ''Glen or Glenda'', despite having nothing to do with the film, other than the lead actor dressed as a woman.\n" "See also" "* Transgender in film and television\n* Cross-dressing in film and television\n* List of films considered the worst\n* Ed Wood filmography\n" "References" "* \n* Rudolph Grey, ''Nightmare of Ecstasy: The Life and Art of Edward D.

"Goat" "Introduction" "\n\n\n\n\n\nThe '''domestic goat''' (''Capra aegagrus hircus'') is a subspecies of goat domesticated from the wild goat of southwest Asia and Eastern Europe.\n\nThe '''goat''' is a member of the family Bovidae and is closely related to the sheep as both are in the goat-antelope subfamily Caprinae. There are over 300 distinct breeds of goat. Goats are one of the oldest domesticated species, and have been used for their milk, meat, hair, and skins over much of the world. In 2011, there were more than 924 million live goats around the globe, according to the UN Food and Agriculture Organization.\n\nFemale goats are referred to as \"does\" or \"nannies;\" intact males are called \"bucks\" or \"billies;\" and juveniles of both sexes are called \"kids\". Castrated males are called \"wethers\". Goat meat from younger animals is called \"kid\" or ''cabrito'' (Spanish), while meat from older animals is known simply as \"goat\" or sometimes called ''chevon'', or in some areas \"mutton\" (which more often refers to adult sheep meat).\n" " Etymology " "The Modern English word ''goat'' comes from Old English ''g\u0101t'' \"she-goat, goat in general\", which in turn derives from Proto-Germanic *''gaitaz'' (cf. Dutch/Icelandic ''geit'', German ''Gei\u00df'', and Gothic ''gaits''), ultimately from Proto-Indo-European ''*\u01f5\u02b0aidos'' meaning \"young goat\" (cf. Latin ''haedus'' \"kid\"), itself perhaps from a root meaning \"jump\" (assuming that Old Church Slavonic ''zaj\u0119c\u01d0'' \"hare\", Sanskrit ''jih\u012bte'' \"he moves\" are related). To refer to the male, Old English used ''bucca'' (giving modern ''buck'') until ousted by ''hegote'', ''hegoote'' in the late 12th century. ''Nanny goat'' (females) originated in the 18th century and ''billy goat'' (for males) in the 19th.\n" " History " "Horn cores from the Neolithic village of Atlit Yam\nGoats are among the earliest animals domesticated by humans. The most recent genetic analysis confirms the archaeological evidence that the wild Bezoar ibex of the Zagros Mountains is the likely original ancestor of probably all domestic goats today.\n\nNeolithic farmers began to herd wild goats primarily for easy access to milk and meat, as well as to their dung, which was used as fuel, and their bones, hair and sinew for clothing, building and tools. The earliest remnants of domesticated goats dating 10,000 years before present are found in Ganj Dareh in Iran. Goat remains have been found at archaeological sites in Jericho, Choga Mami Djeitun and \u00c7ay\u00f6n\u00fc, dating the domestication of goats in Western Asia at between 8000 and 9000 years ago.\n\nStudies of DNA evidence suggests 10,000 years BP as the domestication date.\n\nHistorically, goat hide has been used for water and wine bottles in both traveling and transporting wine for sale. It has also been used to produce parchment.\n" " Anatomy and health " "Skeleton (Capra hircus)\nA white Irish goat with horns\nGoat heart. Specimen clarified for visualization of anatomical structures\nEye with horizontal pupil\nGoats are considered small livestock animals, compared to bigger animals such as cattle, camels and horses, but larger than microlivestock such as poultry, rabbits, cavies, and bees. Each recognized breed of goats has specific weight ranges, which vary from over for bucks of larger breeds such as the Boer, to for smaller goat does. Within each breed, different strains or bloodlines may have different recognized sizes. At the bottom of the size range are miniature breeds such as the African Pygmy, which stand at the shoulder as adults.\n\nMost goats naturally have two horns, of various shapes and sizes depending on the breed. Goats have horns unless they are \"polled\" (meaning, genetically hornless) or the horns have been removed, typically soon after birth. There have been incidents of polycerate goats (having as many as eight horns), although this is a genetic rarity thought to be inherited. The horns are most typically removed in commercial dairy goat herds, to reduce the injuries to humans and other goats. Unlike cattle, goats have not been successfully bred to be reliably polled, as the genes determining sex and those determining horns are closely linked. Breeding together two genetically polled goats results in a high number of intersex individuals among the offspring, which are typically sterile. Their horns are made of living bone surrounded by keratin and other proteins, and are used for defense, dominance, and territoriality.\n\nGoats are ruminants. They have a four-chambered stomach consisting of the rumen, the reticulum, the omasum, and the abomasum. As with other mammal ruminants, they are even-toed ungulates. The females have an udder consisting of two teats, in contrast to cattle, which have four teats. An exception to this is the Boer goat, which sometimes may have up to eight teats.\n\nGoats have horizontal, slit-shaped pupils. Because goats' irises are usually pale, their contrasting pupils are much more noticeable than in animals such as cattle, deer, most horses and many sheep, whose similarly horizontal pupils blend into a dark iris and sclera.\n\nBoth male and female goats have beards, and many types of goat (most commonly dairy goats, dairy-cross Boers, and pygmy goats) may have wattles, one dangling from each side of the neck.\n\nSome breeds of sheep and goats look similar, but they can usually be told apart because goat tails are short and usually point up, whereas sheep tails hang down and are usually longer and bigger \u2013 though some (like those of Northern European short-tailed sheep) are short, and longer ones are often docked.\n\n=== Reproduction ===\nGoat kid \ncapeweed\nGoats reach puberty between three and 15 months of age, depending on breed and nutritional status. Many breeders prefer to postpone breeding until the doe has reached 70% of the adult weight. However, this separation is rarely possible in extensively managed, open-range herds.\n\nIn temperate climates and among the Swiss breeds, the breeding season commences as the day length shortens, and ends in early spring or before. In equatorial regions, goats are able to breed at any time of the year. Successful breeding in these regions depends more on available forage than on day length. Does of any breed or region come into estrus (heat) every 21 days for two to 48 hours. A doe in heat typically flags (vigorously wags) her tail often, stays near the buck if one is present, becomes more vocal, and may also show a decrease in appetite and milk production for the duration of the heat.\nA female goat and two kids\nBucks (intact males) of Swiss and northern breeds come into rut in the fall as with the does' heat cycles. Bucks of equatorial breeds may show seasonal reduced fertility, but as with the does, are capable of breeding at all times. Rut is characterized by a decrease in appetite and obsessive interest in the does. A buck in rut will display flehmen lip curling and will urinate on his forelegs and face. Sebaceous scent glands at the base of the horns add to the male goat's odor, which is important to make him attractive to the female. Some does will not mate with a buck which has been descented.\n\nIn addition to natural, traditional mating, artificial insemination has gained popularity among goat breeders, as it allows easy access to a wide variety of bloodlines.\n\nGestation length is approximately 150 days. Twins are the usual result, with single and triplet births also common. Less frequent are litters of quadruplet, quintuplet, and even sextuplet kids. Birthing, known as kidding, generally occurs uneventfully. Just before kidding, the doe will have a sunken area around the tail and hip, as well as heavy breathing. She may have a worried look, become restless and display great affection for her keeper. The mother often eats the placenta, which gives her much-needed nutrients, helps stanch her bleeding, and parallels the behavior of wild herbivores, such as deer, to reduce the lure of the birth scent for predators.\n\nFreshening (coming into milk production) occurs at kidding. Milk production varies with the breed, age, quality, and diet of the doe; dairy goats generally produce between of milk per 305-day lactation. On average, a good quality dairy doe will give at least of milk per day while she is in milk. A first-time milker may produce less, or as much as , or more of milk in exceptional cases. After the lactation, the doe will \"dry off\", typically after she has been bred. Occasionally, goats that have not been bred and are continuously milked will continue lactation beyond the typical 305 days. Meat, fiber, and pet breeds are not usually milked and simply produce enough for the kids until weaning.\n\nMale lactation is also known to occur in goats.\n\n=== Diet ===\nGoats are reputed to be willing to eat almost anything, including tin cans and cardboard boxes. While goats will not actually eat inedible material, they are browsing animals, not grazers like cattle and sheep, and (coupled with their highly curious nature) will chew on and taste just about anything remotely resembling plant matter to decide whether it is good to eat, including cardboard, clothing and paper (such as labels from tin cans). The unusual smells of leftover food in discarded cans or boxes may further stimulate their curiosity.\n\nA domestic goat feeding in a field of capeweed, a weed which is toxic to most stock animals Aside from sampling many things, goats are quite particular in what they actually consume, preferring to browse on the tips of woody shrubs and trees, as well as the occasional broad-leaved plant. However, it can fairly be said that their plant diet is extremely varied, and includes some species which are otherwise toxic. They will seldom consume soiled food or contaminated water unless facing starvation. This is one reason goat-rearing is most often free ranging, since stall-fed goat-rearing involves extensive upkeep and is seldom commercially viable.\n\nGoats prefer to browse on vines, such as kudzu, on shrubbery and on weeds, more like deer than sheep, preferring them to grasses. Nightshade is poisonous; wilted fruit tree leaves can also kill goats. Silage (fermented corn stalks) and haylage (fermented grass hay) can be used if consumed immediately after opening\u00a0\u2013 goats are particularly sensitive to ''Listeria'' bacteria that can grow in fermented feeds. Alfalfa, a high-protein plant, is widely fed as hay; fescue is the least palatable and least nutritious hay. Mold in a goat's feed can make it sick and possibly kill it.\n\nIn various places in China, goats are used in the production of tea. Goats are released onto the tea terraces where they avoid consuming the green tea leaves (which contain bitter tasting substances) but instead eat the weeds. The goats' droppings fertilise the tea plants.\n\nThe digestive physiology of a very young kid (like the young of other ruminants) is essentially the same as that of a monogastric animal. Milk digestion begins in the abomasum, the milk having bypassed the rumen via closure of the reticuloesophageal groove during suckling. At birth, the rumen is undeveloped, but as the kid begins to consume solid feed, the rumen soon increases in size and in its capacity to absorb nutrients.\n\nThe adult size of a particular goat is a product of its breed (genetic potential) and its diet while growing (nutritional potential). As with all livestock, increased protein diets (10 to 14%) and sufficient calories during the prepuberty period yield higher growth rates and larger eventual size than lower protein rates and limited calories. Large-framed goats, with a greater skeletal size, reach mature weight at a later age (36 to 42 months) than small-framed goats (18 to 24 months) if both are fed to their full potential. Large-framed goats need more calories than small-framed goats for maintenance of daily functions.\n\n=== Behavior ===\nGoats establish a dominance hierarchy in flocks, sometimes through head butting.\nAn example of the goats' social behavior within a flock.\nGlycerinated goat tongue\nGoats are naturally curious. They are also agile and well known for their ability to climb and balance in precarious places. This makes them the only ruminant to regularly climb trees. Due to their agility and inquisitiveness, they are notorious for escaping their pens by testing fences and enclosures, either intentionally or simply because they are used to climb on. If any of the fencing can be overcome, goats will almost inevitably escape. Due to their intelligence, once a goat has discovered a weakness in the fence, they will exploit it repeatedly, and other goats will observe and quickly learn the same method.\n\nGoats explore anything new or unfamiliar in their surroundings, primarily with their prehensile upper lip and tongue, by nibbling at them, occasionally even eating them.\n\nWhen handled as a group, goats tend to display less herding behavior than sheep. When grazing undisturbed, they tend to spread across the field or range, rather than feed side-by-side as do sheep. When nursing young, goats will leave their kids separated (\"lying out\") rather than clumped, as do sheep. They will generally turn and face an intruder and bucks are more likely to charge or butt at humans than are rams.\n\nA study by Queen Mary University reports that goats try to communicate with people in the same manner as domesticated animals such as dogs and horses. Goats were first domesticated as livestock more than 10,000 years ago. Research conducted to test communication skills found that the goats will look to a human for assistance when faced with a challenge that had previously been mastered, but was then modified. Specifically, when presented with a box, the goat was able to remove the lid and retrieve a treat inside, but when the box was turned so the lid could not be removed, the goat would turn and gaze at the person and move toward them, before looking back toward the box. This is the same type of complex communication observed by animals bred as domestic pets, such as dogs. Researchers believe that better understanding of human-goat interaction could offer overall improvement in the animals' welfare. The field of Anthrozoology has established that domesticated animals have the capacity for complex communication with humans when in 2015 a Japanese scientist determined that levels of oxytocin did increase in human subjects when dogs were exposed to a dose of the \"love hormone\", proving that the Human Animal Bond does exist. This is the same affinity that was proven with the London study above; goats are intelligent, capable of complex communication, and able to form bonds. Despite having the reputation of being slightly rebellious, more and more people today are choosing more exotic companion animals like goats. Goats are herd animals and typically prefer the company of other goats, but because of their herd mentality, they will follow their human around just the same.\nGoats are well known for being hard to contain with fencing.\n\n\n=== Diseases ===\n\n\nWhile goats are generally considered hardy animals and in many situations receive little medical care, they are subject to a number of diseases. Among the conditions affecting goats are respiratory diseases including pneumonia, foot rot, internal parasites, pregnancy toxosis and feed toxicity. Feed toxicity can vary based on breed and location. Certain foreign fruits and vegetables can be toxic to different breeds of goats.\n\nGoats can become infected with various viral and bacterial diseases, such as foot-and-mouth disease, caprine arthritis encephalitis, caseous lymphadenitis, pinkeye, mastitis, and pseudorabies. They can transmit a number of zoonotic diseases to people, such as tuberculosis, brucellosis, Q-fever, and rabies.\n\n=== Life expectancy ===\n\nLife expectancy for goats is between fifteen and eighteen years. An instance of a goat reaching the age of 24 has been reported.\n\nSeveral factors can reduce this average expectancy; problems during kidding can lower a doe's expected life span to ten or eleven, and stresses of going into rut can lower a buck's expected life span to eight to ten years.\n" " Agriculture " "\nGoat husbandry is common through the Norte Chico region in Chile. Intensive goat husbrandry in drylands may produce severe erosion and desertification. Image from upper Limar\u00ed River\nA goat is useful to humans when it is living and when it is dead, first as a renewable provider of milk, manure, and fiber, and then as meat and hide. Some charities provide goats to impoverished people in poor countries, because goats are easier and cheaper to manage than cattle, and have multiple uses. In addition, goats are used for driving and packing purposes.\n\nThe intestine of goats is used to make \"catgut\", which is still in use as a material for internal human surgical sutures and strings for musical instruments. The horn of the goat, which signifies plenty and wellbeing (the cornucopia), is also used to make spoons.\nThe Boer goat \u2013 in this case a buck \u2013 is a widely kept meat breed.\n\n=== Worldwide goat population statistics ===\n\nAccording to the Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO), the top producers of goat milk in 2008 were India (4 million metric tons), Bangladesh (2.16 million metric tons) and the Sudan (1.47 million metric tons).\n\n=== Husbandry ===\nReared goat(Husbandry)\nHusbandry, or animal care and use, varies by region and culture. The particular housing used for goats depends not only on the intended use of the goat, but also on the region of the world where they are raised. Historically, domestic goats were generally kept in herds that wandered on hills or other grazing areas, often tended by goatherds who were frequently children or adolescents, similar to the more widely known shepherd. These methods of herding are still used today.\n\nIn some parts of the world, especially Europe and North America, distinct breeds of goats are kept for dairy (milk) and for meat production. Excess male kids of dairy breeds are typically slaughtered for meat. Both does and bucks of meat breeds may be slaughtered for meat, as well as older animals of any breed. The meat of older bucks (more than one year old) is generally considered not desirable for meat for human consumption. Castration at a young age prevents the development of typical buck odor.\nFor smallholder farmers in many countries, such as this woman from Burkina Faso, goats are important livestock.\n\nDairy goats are generally pastured in summer and may be stabled during the winter. As dairy does are milked daily, they are generally kept close to the milking shed. Their grazing is typically supplemented with hay and concentrates. Stabled goats may be kept in stalls similar to horses, or in larger group pens. In the US system, does are generally rebred annually. In some European commercial dairy systems, the does are bred only twice, and are milked continuously for several years after the second kidding.\n\nMeat goats are more frequently pastured year-round, and may be kept many miles from barns. Angora and other fiber breeds are also kept on pasture or range. Range-kept and pastured goats may be supplemented with hay or concentrates, most frequently during the winter or dry seasons.\n\nIn India, Nepal, and much of Asia, goats are kept largely for milk production, both in commercial and household settings. The goats in this area may be kept closely housed or may be allowed to range for fodder. The Salem Black goat is herded to pasture in fields and along roads during the day, but is kept penned at night for safe-keeping.\n\nIn Africa and the Mideast, goats are typically run in flocks with sheep. This maximizes the production per acre, as goats and sheep prefer different food plants. Multiple types of goat-raising are found in Ethiopia, where four main types have been identified: pastured in annual crop systems, in perennial crop systems, with cattle, and in arid areas, under pastoral (nomadic) herding systems. In all four systems, however, goats were typically kept in extensive systems, with few purchased inputs. Household goats are traditionally kept in Nigeria. While many goats are allowed to wander the homestead or village, others are kept penned and fed in what is called a 'cut-and-carry' system. This type of husbandry is also used in parts of Latin America. Cut-and-carry, which refers to the practice of cutting down grasses, corn or cane for feed rather than allowing the animal access to the field, is particularly suited for types of feed, such as corn or cane, that are easily destroyed by trampling.\n\nPet goats may be found in many parts of the world when a family keeps one or more animals for emotional reasons rather than as production animals. It is becoming more common for goats to be kept exclusively as pets in North America and Europe.\n\n=== Meat ===\n\n\nThe taste of goat kid meat is similar to that of spring lamb meat; in fact, in the English-speaking islands of the Caribbean, and in some parts of Asia, particularly Bangladesh, Pakistan and India, the word \u201cmutton\u201d is used to describe both goat and lamb meat. However, some compare the taste of goat meat to veal or venison, depending on the age and condition of the goat. Its flavor is said to be primarily linked to the presence of 4-methyloctanoic and 4-methylnonanoic acid. It can be prepared in a variety of ways, including stewing, baking, grilling, barbecuing, canning, and frying; it can be minced, curried, or made into sausage. Due to its low fat content, the meat can toughen at high temperatures if cooked without additional moisture. One of the most popular goats grown for meat is the South African Boer, introduced into the United States in the early 1990s. The New Zealand Kiko is also considered a meat breed, as is the myotonic or \"fainting goat\", a breed originating in Tennessee.\n\n=== Milk, butter and cheese ===\nA goat being machine milked on an organic farm\nGoats produce about 2% of the world's total annual milk supply. Some goats are bred specifically for milk. If the strong-smelling buck is not separated from the does, his scent will affect the milk.\n\nGoat milk naturally has small, well-emulsified fat globules, which means the cream remains suspended in the milk, instead of rising to the top, as in raw cow milk; therefore, it does not need to be homogenized. Indeed, if the milk is to be used to make cheese, homogenization is not recommended, as this changes the structure of the milk, affecting the culture's ability to coagulate the milk and the final quality and yield of cheese.\n\nDairy goats in their prime (generally around the third or fourth lactation cycle) average\u2014\u2014of milk production daily\u2014roughly \u2014during a ten-month lactation, producing more just after freshening and gradually dropping in production toward the end of their lactation. The milk generally averages 3.5% butterfat.\n\nGoat milk is commonly processed into cheese, butter, ice cream, yogurt, ''cajeta'' and other products. Goat cheese is known as ''fromage de ch\u00e8vre'' (\"goat cheese\") in France. Some varieties include Rocamadour and Montrachet. Goat butter is white because goats produce milk with the yellow beta-carotene converted to a colorless form of vitamin A.\n\n\n\n==== Nutrition ====\nThe American Academy of Pediatrics discourages feeding infants milk derived from goats. An April 2010 case report summarizes their recommendation and presents \"a comprehensive review of the consequences associated with this dangerous practice\", also stating, \"Many infants are exclusively fed unmodified goat's milk as a result of cultural beliefs as well as exposure to false online information. Anecdotal reports have described a host of morbidities associated with that practice, including severe electrolyte abnormalities, metabolic acidosis, megaloblastic anemia, allergic reactions including life-threatening anaphylactic shock, hemolytic uremic syndrome, and infections.\" Untreated caprine brucellosis results in a 2% case fatality rate. According to the USDA, doe milk is not recommended for human infants because it contains \"inadequate quantities of iron, folate, vitamins C and D, thiamine, niacin, vitamin B6, and pantothenic acid to meet an infant\u2019s nutritional needs\" and may cause harm to an infant's kidneys and could cause metabolic damage.\n\nThe Department of Health in the United Kingdom has repeatedly released statements stating on various occasions that \"Goats' milk is not suitable for babies, and infant formulas and follow-on formulas based on goats' milk protein have not been approved for use in Europe\", and \"infant milks based on goats' milk protein are not suitable as a source of nutrition for infants.\"\n\nAlso according to the Canadian Federal Health Department \u2013 Health Canada, most of the dangers or counter-indication of feeding unmodified goat milk to infants, are similar to those incurring in the same practice with cow's milk, namely in the allergic reactions.\n\nOn the other hand, some farming groups promote the practice. For example, Small Farm Today in 2005 claimed beneficial use in invalid and convalescent diets, proposing that glycerol ethers, possibly important in nutrition for nursing infants, are much higher in doe milk than in cow milk. A 1970 book on animal breeding claimed doe milk differs from cow or human milk by having higher digestibility, distinct alkalinity, higher buffering capacity, and certain therapeutic values in human medicine and nutrition. George Mateljan suggested doe milk can replace ewe milk or cow milk in diets of those who are allergic to certain mammals' milk. However, like cow milk, doe milk has lactose (sugar), and may cause gastrointestinal problems for individuals with lactose intolerance. In fact, the level of lactose is similar to that of bovine milk.\n\n\n+ Basic composition of various milks (mean values per 100\u00a0g)\n Constituent\n Doe (Goat)\n Cow\n Human\n\n Fat (g)\n 3.8\n 3.6\n 4.0\n\n Protein (g)\n 3.5\n 3.3\n 1.2\n\n Lactose (g)\n 4.1\n 4.6\n 6.9\n\n Ash (g)\n 0.8\n 0.7\n 0.2\n\n Total solids (g)\n 12.2\n 12.3\n 12.3\n\n Calories\n 70\n 69\n 68\n\n\n\n+ Milk composition analysis, per 100\u00a0grams\n\n Constituents\n unit\n Cow\n Doe(Goat)\n Ewe(Sheep)\n Waterbuffalo\n\n Water\n g\n 87.8\n 88.9\n 83.0\n 81.1\n\n Protein\n g\n 3.2\n 3.1\n 5.4\n 4.5\n\n Fat\n g\n 3.9\n 3.5\n 6.0\n 8.0\n\n Carbohydrate\n g\n 4.8\n 4.4\n 5.1\n 4.9\n\n Energy\n kcal\n 66\n 60\n 95\n 110\n\n Energy\n kJ\n 275\n 253\n 396\n 463\n\n Sugars (lactose)\n g\n 4.8\n 4.4\n 5.1\n 4.9\n\n Cholesterol\n mg\n 14\n 10\n 11\n 8\n\n Calcium\n IU\n 120\n 100\n 170\n 195\n\n Saturated fatty acids\n g\n 2.4\n 2.3\n 3.8\n 4.2\n\n Monounsaturated fatty acids\n g\n 1.1\n 0.8\n 1.5\n 1.7\n\n Polyunsaturated fatty acids\n g\n 0.1\n 0.1\n 0.3\n 0.2\n\n\nThese compositions vary by breed (especially in the Nigerian Dwarf breed), animal, and point in the lactation period.\n\n=== Fiber ===\nAn Angora goat\nThe Angora breed of goats produces long, curling, lustrous locks of mohair. The entire body of the goat is covered with mohair and there are no guard hairs. The locks constantly grow to four inches or more in length. Angora crossbreeds, such as the pygora and the nigora, have been created to produce mohair and/or cashgora on a smaller, easier-to-manage animal.\nThe wool is shorn twice a year, with an average yield of about .\n\nMost goats have softer insulating hairs nearer the skin, and longer guard hairs on the surface. The desirable fiber for the textile industry is the former, and it goes by several names (down, cashmere and pashmina). The coarse guard hairs are of little value as they are too coarse, difficult to spin and difficult to dye. The cashmere goat produces a commercial quantity of cashmere wool, which is one of the most expensive natural fibers commercially produced; cashmere is very fine and soft. The cashmere goat fiber is harvested once a year, yielding around of down.\n\nIn South Asia, cashmere is called \"pashmina\" (from Persian ''pashmina'', \"fine wool\").\nIn the 18th and early 19th centuries, Kashmir (then called Cashmere by the British), had a thriving industry producing shawls from goat-hair imported from Tibet and Tartary through Ladakh. The shawls were introduced into Western Europe when the General in Chief of the French campaign in Egypt (1799\u20131802) sent one to Paris. Since these shawls were produced in the upper Kashmir and Ladakh region, the wool came to be known as \"cashmere\".\n\n=== Land clearing ===\nGoats have been used by humans to clear unwanted vegetation for centuries. They have been described as \"eating machines\" and \"biological control agents\". There has been a resurgence of this in North America since 1990, when herds were used to clear dry brush from California hillsides thought to be endangered by potential wildfires. This form of using goats to clear land is sometimes known as conservation grazing. Since then, numerous public and private agencies have hired private herds to perform similar tasks. This practice has become popular in the Pacific Northwest, where they are used to remove invasive species not easily removed by humans, including (thorned) blackberry vines and poison oak.\n\n=== Use for medical training ===\nAs a goat's anatomy and physiology is not too dissimilar from that of human, some countries' militaries use goats to train combat medics. In the United States, goats have become the main animal species used for this purpose after Pentagon phased out using dogs for medical training in the 1980s. While modern mannequins used in medical training are quite efficient in simulating the behavior of a human body, trainees feel that \"the goat exercise provides a sense of urgency that only real life trauma can provide\".\n" " As pets " "\nSome people choose goats as a pet because of their ability to form close bonds with their human guardians. Because of goats' herd mentality, they will follow their owner around and form close bonds with them.\n" " Breeds " "\nGoat breeds fall into overlapping, general categories. They are generally distributed in those used for dairy, fiber, meat, skins, and as companion animals. Some breeds are also particularly noted as pack goats.\n" " Showing " "A Nigerian Dwarf milker in show clip. This doe is angular and dairy with a capacious and well supported mammary system.\nGoat breeders' clubs frequently hold shows, where goats are judged on traits relating to conformation, udder quality, evidence of high production, longevity, build and muscling (meat goats and pet goats) and fiber production and the fiber itself (fiber goats). People who show their goats usually keep registered stock and the offspring of award-winning animals command a higher price. Registered goats, in general, are usually higher-priced if for no other reason than that records have been kept proving their ancestry and the production and other data of their sires, dams, and other ancestors. A registered doe is usually less of a gamble than buying a doe at random (as at an auction or sale barn) because of these records and the reputation of the breeder.\nChildren's clubs such as 4-H also allow goats to be shown. Children's shows often include a showmanship class, where the cleanliness and presentation of both the animal and the exhibitor as well as the handler's ability and skill in handling the goat are scored. In a showmanship class, conformation is irrelevant since this is not what is being judged.\n\nVarious \"Dairy Goat Scorecards\" (milking does) are systems used for judging shows in the US. The American Dairy Goat Association (ADGA) scorecard for an adult doe includes a point system of a hundred total with major categories that include general appearance, the dairy character of a doe (physical traits that aid and increase milk production), body capacity, and specifically for the mammary system. Young stock and bucks are judged by different scorecards which place more emphasis on the other three categories; general appearance, body capacity, and dairy character.\n\nThe American Goat Society (AGS) has a similar, but not identical scorecard that is used in their shows. The miniature dairy goats may be judged by either of the two scorecards. The \"Angora Goat scorecard\" used by the Colored Angora Goat Breeder's Association (CAGBA), which covers the white and the colored goats, includes evaluation of an animal's fleece color, density, uniformity, fineness, and general body confirmation. Disqualifications include: a deformed mouth, broken down pasterns, deformed feet, crooked legs, abnormalities of testicles, missing testicles, more than 3\u00a0inch split in scrotum, and close-set or distorted horns.\n" " Religion, mythology and folklore " "\nAn ancient Greek ''oenochoe'' depicting wild goats\n\nAccording to Norse mythology, the god of thunder, Thor, has a chariot that is pulled by the goats Tanngrisnir and Tanngnj\u00f3str. At night when he sets up camp, Thor eats the meat of the goats, but takes care that all bones remain whole. Then he wraps the remains up, and in the morning, the goats always come back to life to pull the chariot. When a farmer's son who is invited to share the meal breaks one of the goats' leg bones to suck the marrow, the animal's leg remains broken in the morning, and the boy is forced to serve Thor as a servant to compensate for the damage.\n\nPossibly related, the Yule Goat is one of the oldest Scandinavian and Northern European Yule and Christmas symbols and traditions. Yule Goat originally denoted the goat that was slaughtered around Yule, but it may also indicate a goat figure made out of straw. It is also used about the custom of going door-to-door singing carols and getting food and drinks in return, often fruit, cakes and sweets. \"Going Yule Goat\" is similar to the British custom wassailing, both with roots. The G\u00e4vle Goat is a giant version of the Yule Goat, erected every year in the Swedish city of G\u00e4vle.\n\nThe Greek god Pan is said to have the upper body of a man and the horns and lower body of a goat. Pan was a very lustful god, nearly all of the myths involving him had to do with him chasing nymphs. He is also credited with creating the pan flute.\n\nThe goat is one of the twelve-year cycle of animals which appear in the Chinese zodiac related to the Chinese calendar. Each animal is associated with certain personality traits; those born in a year of the goat are predicted to be shy, introverted, creative, and perfectionist.\nAmalthea and Jupiter's goat); commissioned by the Queen of France in 1787 for the royal dairy at Rambouillet\nSeveral mythological hybrid creatures are believed to consist of parts of the goat, including the Chimera. The Capricorn sign in the Western zodiac is usually depicted as a goat with a fish's tail. Fauns and satyrs are mythological creatures that are part goat and part human. The mineral bromine is named from the Greek word \"br\u03ccmos\", which means \"stench of he-goats\".\n\nGoats are mentioned many times in the Bible. A goat is considered a \"clean\" animal by Jewish dietary laws and was slaughtered for an honored guest. It was also acceptable for some kinds of sacrifices. Goat-hair curtains were used in the tent that contained the tabernacle (Exodus 25:4). Its horns can be used instead of sheep's horn to make a shofar. On Yom Kippur, the festival of the Day of Atonement, two goats were chosen and lots were drawn for them. One was sacrificed and the other allowed to escape into the wilderness, symbolically carrying with it the sins of the community. From this comes the word \"scapegoat\". A leader or king was sometimes compared to a male goat leading the flock. In the New Testament, Jesus told a parable of the Sheep and the Goats (Gospel of Matthew 25).\n\nPopular Christian folk tradition in Europe associated Satan with imagery of goats. A common superstition in the Middle Ages was that goats whispered lewd sentences in the ears of the saints. The origin of this belief was probably the behavior of the buck in rut, the very epitome of lust. The common medieval depiction of the Devil was that of a goat-like face with horns and small beard (a goatee). The Black Mass, a probably mythological \"Satanic mass\", was said to involve a black goat, the form in which Satan supposedly manifested himself for worship.\n\nThe goat has had a lingering connection with Satanism and pagan religions, even into modern times. The inverted pentagram, a symbol used in Satanism, is said to be shaped like a goat's head. The \"Baphomet of Mendes\" refers to a satanic goat-like figure from 19th-century occultism.\n\nThe common Russian surname ''Kozlov'' (), means \"goat\". Goatee refers to a style of facial hair incorporating hair on a man\u2019s chin, so named because of some similarity to a goat's facial feature.\n" " Feral goats " "\nFeral goat in Aruba\nGoats readily revert to the wild (become feral) if given the opportunity. The only domestic animal known to return to feral life as swiftly is the cat. Feral goats have established themselves in many areas: they occur in Australia, New Zealand, Great Britain, the Galapagos and in many other places. When feral goats reach large populations in habitats which provide unlimited water supply and which do not contain sufficient large predators or which are otherwise vulnerable to goats' aggressive grazing habits, they may have serious effects, such as removing native scrub, trees and other vegetation which is required by a wide range of other creatures, not just other grazing or browsing animals. Feral goats are common in Australia. However, in other circumstances where predator pressure is maintained, they may be accommodated into some balance in the local food web.\n" " References " "\n" " External links " "\n\n* Goat breeds from the Department of Animal Science, Oklahoma State University\n* The American Dairy Goat Association\n* British Goat Society\n* International Goat Association\n* North American Packgoats Association\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n"
"Golden age of American animation" "Introduction" "\n\nThe '''golden age of American animation''' was a period in the history of U.S. animation that began with the advent of sound cartoons in 1923 and continued until around 1972 when theatrical animated shorts began losing to the new medium of television animation.\n\nMany popular characters emerged from this period, including Mickey Mouse, Bugs Bunny, Donald Duck, Daffy Duck, Goofy, Popeye, Tom and Jerry, Porky Pig, Betty Boop, Woody Woodpecker, Droopy, and the first animated adaptation of Superman. Feature length animation also began during this period, most notably with Walt Disney's first films: ''Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs'', ''Pinocchio'', ''Fantasia'', ''Dumbo'' and ''Bambi''.\n" "Walt Disney Productions" "Shortly after returning to Kansas City, Missouri from World War I, Walt Disney decided to become a newspaper cartoonist drawing political caricatures and comic strips. However nobody would hire Disney, so his older brother Roy, who was working as a banker at the time, got him a job at the ''Pesmen-Rubin Art Studio'' where he created advertisements for newspapers, magazines, and movie theaters. Here he met fellow cartoonist Ub Iwerks, the two quickly became friends and in January 1920, when their time at the studio expired they decided to open up their own advertising agency together called '''Iwerks-Disney Commercial Artists'''. The business however got off to a rough start and Walt temporarily left for the ''Kansas City Film and Ad Co.'' to raise money for the fleeting company and Iwerks soon followed as he was unable to run the business alone.\n\nWhilst working here he made commercials for local theaters using crude cut-out animation. Disney became fascinated by the art and decided to become an animator. He then borrowed a camera from work and rented a book from the local library called ''Animated Cartoons: How They Are Made, Their Origin and Development'' by Edwin G. Lutz and decided that cel animation would produce better quality and decided to open up his own animation studio. Disney then teamed up with Fred Harman and made their first film, ''The Little Artist'' which was nothing more than an artist (Disney) taking a cigarette break at his work desk. Harman soon dropped out of the venture, but Disney was able to strike a deal with local theater owner Frank L. Newman and animated a cartoon all by himself entitled ''Newman Laugh-O-Grams'' screened in roughly February 1921. Walt then quit his job at the film and ad company and incorporated '''Laugh-O-Gram Films''' in May 1922, and hired former advertising colleagues as unpaid \"students\" of animation including Ub Iwerks and Fred Harman's brother, Hugh Harman.\n\nThroughout 1922 the company produced a series of \"modernized\" adaptations of fairy tales including ''Little Red Riding Hood'', ''The Four Musicians of Bremen'', ''Jack and the Beanstalk'', ''Jack the Giant Killer'', ''Goldielocks and the Three Bears'', ''Puss in Boots'', ''Cinderella'' and ''Tommy Tucker's Tooth'', the latter being mostly a live-action film about dental hygiene. None of these films turned a profit. The last film made by the company was a short called ''Alice's Wonderland''. Loosely inspired by Lewis Carroll's ''Alice's Adventures in Wonderland''; the short featured a live-action five-year-old girl named Alice (Virginia Davis) who had adventures in a fully animated world. The film was never fully complete however as the studio went bankrupt in the summer of 1923.\n\nUpon the closure of Laugh-O-Grams, Walt worked as a freelance filmmaker before selling his camera for a one-way ticket to Los Angeles. Once arriving he moved in with his Uncle Robert and his brother Roy, who was recovering at a nearby government hospital from tuberculosis he had suffered during the war. After failing to get a job as a director of live-action films he sent the unfinished ''Alice's Wonderland'' reel to short-subjects distributor Margaret J. Winkler of ''Winkler Pictures'' in New York. Winkler was distributing both the Felix the Cat and Out of the Inkwell cartoons at the time, but the Fleischer brothers were about to leave to set up their own distribution company, ''Red Seal Films'', and Felix producer Pat Sullivan was constantly fighting with Winkler; therefore Winkler agreed to distribute Disney's ''Alice Comedies'' as sort of an insurance policy.\n\nOnce Walt received the notice on October 15, he convinced Roy to leave the hospital and help him set-up his business. The next day, on October 16, 1923, '''Disney Bros. Cartoon Studio''' opened its doors at a small rented office two blocks away from his uncle's house with Roy managing business and Walt handling creative affairs. He convinced Virginia Davis's parents which caused the first official ''Alice'' short, ''Alice's Day at Sea'', to be released on January 1, 1924; delayed by eleven days. Ub Iwerks was re-hired in February 1925 and the quality of animation on the ''Alice'' series improved; this prompted Hugh Harman, Rudolf Ising and Carman Maxwell to follow Disney west in June 1925. Around that time, Davis was replaced with Maggie Gay and the cartoons started to focus less on the live-action scenes and more the fully animated scenes, particularly those featuring Alice's pet sidekick Julius, who bore an uncanny resemblance to Felix the Cat. In February 1926, Disney built a larger studio at 2719 Hyperion Avenue and changed the name of the company to '''Walt Disney Cartoons'''.\n\nIn November 1923, Winkler married Charles Mintz and handed over the business to him when she fell pregnant a few months later. Mintz was often described as a cold, stern and ruthless chain-smoking tyrant; one employee remembered him as \"a grim-faced man, with a pair of cold eyes glittering behind the pince nez\" and \"never talked to the staff. He looked us over like an admiral surveying a row of stanchions.\" Whilst Winkler had offered gentle critiques and encouragement, Mintz communicated to Disney in a harsh and cruel tone. In 1927, Mintz ordered Disney to stop producing ''Alice Comedies'' due to the costs of combining live-action and animation.\n\nMintz managed to gain a distribution deal with Universal Studios; however it was Mintz\u2014not Disney\u2014that signed the deal. Disney and lead animator Ub Iwerks created Oswald the Lucky Rabbit, who debuted in Trolley Troubles in 1927. The Oswald series was a success and became the first hit for the Disney studio.\n\nIn the spring of 1928, Disney traveled to New York to ask Mintz for a budget increase. His request was harshly denied by Mintz, who pointed out that in the contract Mintz had signed with Universal, it was Universal\u2014not Disney\u2014that owned the rights to the character. Mintz revealed to Disney that he had hired most of his staff away from the studio (except for Ub Iwerks, Les Clark and Wilfred Jackson who refused to leave) and threatened that unless he took a 20 per cent budget decrease, he would drop Disney and continue the Oswald series by himself. Walt refused, and Winkler Pictures dropped its distribution.\n\n===Mickey Mouse===\nWhile Disney was finishing the remaining cartoons for Mintz, Disney and his staff secretly came up with a new cartoon character to replace Oswald\u2014Mickey Mouse.\n\nThe inspiration for Mickey has never been clear. Walt Disney said that he came up with the idea on the train ride back to Los Angeles shortly after the confrontation with Mintz, but other records say that he came up with the idea after he returned to the studio. Walt Disney once said that he was inspired by a pet mouse he once had at the old Laugh-O-Grams studio, but more commonly said that he chose a mouse because a mouse had never been the central character of a cartoon series before. Some animation historians claim that Ub Iwerks created Mickey and he should be the one to receive credit for the creation of Mickey Mouse.\n\nIn 1928, ''Plane Crazy'' became the first entry into the Mickey Mouse series; however, it was not released because of a poor reaction from test screenings and failed to gain a distributor. The second Mickey Mouse cartoon ''The Gallopin' Gaucho'' also failed to gain attention of the audience and a distributor. Disney knew what was missing: sound. Sound film had been captivating audiences since 1927 with ''The Jazz Singer'' and Walt decided that the next cartoon ''Steamboat Willie'' would have sound. ''Steamboat Willie'' was not the first sound cartoon, Max and Dave Fleischer had produced ''Song Car-Tunes'' since 1926. However, they failed to keep the sound synchronized with the animation and the main focus of the cartoons were the bouncing ball sing-a-longs. The ''Song Car-Tunes'' were not a success and some staff members doubted whether a cartoon with sound would be successful. So Disney arranged a special preview screening with the music and sound effects being played live behind stage through a microphone. The ''Steamboat Willie'' test screening was a success and managed to gain a distributor, ''Celebrity Pictures'' chief Pat Powers. However, the first attempt to synchronize the sound with the animation was a disaster with the timing being all wrong. In order to finance the second recording, Walt sold his car. This time he used a click track to keep his musicians on the beat (Disney later learned that it was easier to record the dialogue, music and sound effects first and animate to the sound). Little more than a month before ''Steamboat Willie'''s premiere, Paul Terry released his sound cartoon ''Dinner Time''; however it was not a financial success and Walt Disney described it as \"a bunch of racket\".\n\n===The golden age begins===\n''Steamboat Willie'' was released on November 18, 1928, and was a huge success. Disney quickly gained huge dominance in the animation field using sound in his future cartoons by dubbing ''Plane Crazy'', ''The Gallopin' Gaucho'' and the nearly completed ''The Barn Dance''. Mickey Mouse's popularity put the animated character into the ranks of the most popular screen personalities in the world. Disney's biggest competitor, Pat Sullivan with his Felix the Cat, was eclipsed by Mickey's popularity and the studio closed in 1932.\nMerchandising based on Disney cartoons rescued a number of companies from bankruptcy during the depths of the Depression, and Disney took advantage of this popularity to move forward with further innovations in animation.\n\nIn 1929, he launched a new series entitled ''Silly Symphonies'' which was based around music with no recurring characters. However, they did not become as popular as the Mickey Mouse series.\n\nIn 1930, after a falling-out with Powers, Disney switched distributors to Columbia Pictures. However, Ub Iwerks left Disney after an offer from Powers to be in charge of his own studio.\n\nIn 1932, Mickey Mouse had become an international sensation, but the ''Silly Symphonies'' had not. Columbia Pictures backed out of its distribution of the series and Disney was lured to move the ''Silly Symphonies'' to United Artists by a budget increase.\n\nWalt Disney then worked with the Technicolor company to create the first full three-strip color cartoon, ''Flowers and Trees''. It was a huge success and also became the first cartoon to win an Academy Award. Shortly afterward, Disney negotiated an exclusive, but temporary deal with Technicolor so only he could use the three-strip process in animated films\u2014no other studio was permitted to use it. However, he withheld making Mickey Mouse in color because he thought that Technicolor might boost the ''Silly Symphonies'' popularity.\n\nBy 1932 Walt Disney had realized the success of animated films depended upon telling emotionally gripping stories that would grab the audience and not let go. This realization led to an important innovation around 1932 and 1933: a \"story department,\" separate from the animators, with storyboard artists who would be dedicated to working on a \"story development\" phase of the production pipeline.\nIn turn, Disney's continued emphasis on story development and characterization resulted in another hit in 1933: ''Three Little Pigs'', which is seen as the first cartoon in which multiple characters displayed unique, individual personalities and is still considered to be the most successful animated short of all time, and also featured the hit song that became the anthem in fighting the Great Depression: \"Who's Afraid of the Big Bad Wolf\".\n\nIn the Mickey Mouse series, he continued to add personality to his characters; this resulted in the creation of new characters such as Pluto with The Chain Gang in 1930, Goofy with Mickey's Revue in 1932 and Donald Duck in 1934 with \"The Wise Little Hen\" (under the ''Silly Symphony'' series). When Disney's contract with Technicolor expired, the Mickey Mouse series was moved into Technicolor starting with The Band Concert in 1935. In addition, Mickey was partially redesigned for Technicolor later that year.\n\nIn 1937, Disney invented the multiplane camera, which gave an illusion of depth to the animated world. He first used this on the Silly Symphony cartoon ''The Old Mill''. Much of Disney's work was heavily influenced by European stories and myths, and the work of illustrators such as Dor\u00e9 and Busch.\n\nAlso in 1937, Disney changed distributors to RKO Radio Pictures and remained under distribution until the early 1950s.\n\n===Feature-length films===\nIn 1937, Walt Disney produced ''Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs'', the first American feature-length animated film. This was the culmination of four years of effort by Disney studios. Walt Disney was convinced that short cartoons would not keep his studio profitable in the long run, so he took what was seen as an enormous gamble. The critics predicted that ''Snow White'' would result in financial ruin for the studio. They said that the colors would be too bright for the audience and they would get sick of the gags and leave. However, the critics were proven wrong. ''Snow White'' was a worldwide box office success, and was universally acclaimed as a landmark in the development of animation as a serious art form.\n\nAfter the success of ''Snow White'', Disney went on to produce ''Pinocchio'', which was released in 1940. It was considered a stunning achievement both technically and artistically, costing twice as much as ''Snow White''. However ''Pinocchio'' was not a financial success, since World War II (which began in 1939) had cut off 40% of Disney's foreign release market and although it was a moderate success in the United States, the domestic gross alone was not enough to make back its revenue. However, the film did receive very positive reviews and has made millions from subsequent re-releases. Later that year, Disney produced ''Fantasia''. It originally started with the Mickey Mouse cartoon ''The Sorcerer's Apprentice'' in an attempt to recapture Mickey's popularity, which had sharply declined to Max Fleischer's ''Popeye'' and Disney's Donald Duck. In the ''Sorcerer's Apprentice'', Mickey Mouse was redesigned by Fred Moore. This redesign of Mickey is still in use today. The short featured no dialogue, only music which was conducted by Leopold Stokowski. When the budget for the short grew very expensive, Stokowski suggested to Disney that it could be a feature film with other pieces of classical music matched to animation. Disney agreed and production started. ''Fantasia'' would also become the first commercial film to be released in stereophonic sound. However, like ''Pinocchio'', ''Fantasia'' was not a financial success. ''Fantasia'' was also the first Disney film not to be received well, receiving mixed reviews from the critics. It was looked down upon by music critics and audiences, who felt that Walt Disney was striving for something beyond his reach by trying to introduce mainstream animation to abstract art, classical music, and \"elite\" subjects. However, the film would be reevaluated in later years and considered a significant achievement in the art of animation.\n\nIn 1941 in order to compensate for the relative failure of ''Pinocchio'' and ''Fantasia'', Disney produced a low-budget feature film, ''Dumbo''. Dumbo was a major hit and today is one of the most critically acclaimed animated movies ever made. Just a few days after rough animation was complete on ''Dumbo'', the Disney animators' strike broke out. This was caused by the Screen Cartoonists' Guild (which had been formed in 1938), who severed many ties between Walt Disney and his staff, while encouraging many members of the Disney studio to leave and seek greener pastures. Later that year, ''Dumbo'' became a big success, the first time since ''Snow White''. The critically acclaimed film brought in much-needed revenue and kept the studio afloat. A few months after ''Dumbo'' was released, the United States entered the war after Pearl Harbor was attacked. This caused the mobilization of all movie studios (including their cartoon divisions) to produce propaganda material to bolster public confidence and encourage support for the war effort. The war (along with the strike) shook Walt Disney's empire, as the US Army had seized Disney's studio as soon as the US entered World War II in December 1941. Due to this, Disney put the feature films ''Alice in Wonderland'', ''Peter Pan'', ''Wind in the Willows'', ''Song of the South'', ''Mickey and the Beanstalk'' and ''Bongo'' on hold until the war was over. The only feature film that was allowed to continue production was ''Bambi'', which was released in 1942. ''Bambi'' was ground-breaking in terms of animating animals realistically. However, due to the war ''Bambi'' failed at the box-office and received mixed reviews from the critics. This was to be short lived as it grossed a considerable amount of money in the 1947 re-release.\n\nDisney was now fully committed to the war and contributed by producing propaganda shorts and a feature film entitled ''Victory Through Air Power''. ''Victory Through Air Power'' was a box office failure and the studio lost around $500,000 as a result. The required propaganda cartoon shorts were also not as popular as Disney's regular shorts, and by the time the Army ended its stay at Disney Studios when the war ended in 1945, Disney struggled to restart his studio, and had a low amount of cash on hand.\n\nFurther Disney feature films of the 1940s were modestly budgeted collections of animated short segments put together to make a feature film. These began with ''Saludos Amigos'' in 1942 and continued during the war with ''The Three Caballeros'' in 1944 and after the war with ''Make Mine Music'' in 1946, ''Fun and Fancy Free'' in 1947, ''Melody Time'' in 1948 and ''The Adventures of Ichabod and Mr. Toad'' in 1949. For the feature films ''Mickey and the Beanstalk'', ''Bongo'' and ''Wind in the Willows'', he condensed them into the package films ''Fun and Fancy Free'' and ''The Adventures of Ichabod and Mr. Toad'' since Walt feared that the low-budget animation would not become profitable. The most ambitious Disney film of this period was the 1946 film ''Song of the South'', a film blending live-action and animation which drew criticism in later years for accusations of racial stereotyping.\n\nIn 1950, Disney produced ''Cinderella''. ''Cinderella'' was an enormous success, becoming the highest-grossing film of 1950, and became Disney's most successful film since ''Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs'' and Disney's first single narrative feature film since ''Bambi''.\n\nDisney also started producing full live-action films beginning with ''Treasure Island'' in 1950. He also had been creating nature documentaries since ''Seal Island'' in 1948 and started broadcasting on television with his ''One Hour in Wonderland'' special in 1951. Due to this, Walt Disney was needed on several different units at one time and was spending less time in the animation department. However, he never lost interest in animation and was always present at story-meetings; there they needed him the most. In 1951, he released ''Alice in Wonderland'', a project he had been working on since the late 1930s and had shelved during the war. ''Alice in Wonderland'' was initially moderately successful and received mixed reviews from the critics (though it would be hailed as one of Disney's Greatest classics a few decades later, as well as make millions subsequent theatrical and home video releases). In 1953 he released ''Peter Pan'', which, like ''Alice in Wonderland'', had been in production since the late 1930s, early-1940s and was shelved during the war. However unlike ''Alice'', ''Peter Pan'' was a big success both critically and financially on its first release.\n\nWhen Disney's contract with RKO expired at the end of 1953, instead of renewing it as usual Disney was concerned about the instability of RKO (due to owner Howard Hughes' increasingly erratic control of the studio) and started distributing its own films through its newly created Buena Vista Distribution subsidiary. This allowed a higher budget for shorts and features than the last few years of cartoons made for RKO dictated, which made it possible to make some of the cartoons in the new CinemaScope format. However, the budget per short was nowhere near as high as it had been in the 1940s as Disney had been focusing more on live action, television, and feature animation and less on short animation. In 1953, shortly after the switch from RKO to Buena Vista, Disney released its final Mickey Mouse short, ''The Simple Things''. From there, the studio produced fewer animated shorts by the year until the animated shorts division was eventually closed in 1956. After that, any future short cartoon work was done through the feature animation division until 1969. The last Disney short of the golden age, It's Tough to Be a Bird, was released in 1969.\n\nIn 1955 he created ''Lady and the Tramp'', the first animated film in CinemaScope. Upon building Disneyland in 1955, Walt Disney regained a huge amount of popularity among the public, and turned his focus at producing his most ambitious movie: ''Sleeping Beauty''. Sleeping Beauty was filmed in Super Technirama 70 mm film and in stereophonic sound like ''Fantasia''. ''Sleeping Beauty'' also signaled a change in the style of drawing, with cartoony and angular characters; taking influence from ''United Productions of America''. Although ''Sleeping Beauty'' was the second-highest-grossing film of 1959 (just behind ''Ben-Hur''), the film went over budget, costing 6 million dollars, and the film failed to make back its expenditure. The studio was in serious debt and had to cut the cost of animation. In 1960, this resulted in Disney switching to xerography, that replaced the traditional hand-inking. The first feature film that used Xerox cels was ''101 Dalmatians'' in 1961. It was a huge success; however, the Xerox resulted in films with a \"sketchier\" look and lacked the quality of the hand-inked films. According to Floyd Norman, who was working at Disney at the time, it felt like the end of an era.\n\nOn December 15, 1966, Walt Disney died of lung cancer. The last film he was involved in was ''The Jungle Book'', released a year after his death. After Walt Disney's death, the animated films produced by the Disney company were only moderately successful. The animation department did not fully recover until the late 1980s and early 1990s with the Disney Renaissance.\n" "Fleischer Studios" "One of Disney's main competitors was Max Fleischer, the head of Fleischer Studios, which produced cartoons for Paramount Pictures. Fleischer Studios was a family-owned business, operated by Max Fleischer and his younger brother Dave Fleischer, who supervised the production of the cartoons. The Fleischers scored successful hits with the ''Betty Boop'' cartoons and the ''Popeye the Sailor'' series. Popeye's popularity during the 1930s rivaled Mickey Mouse at times, and Popeye fan clubs sprang up across the country in imitation of Mickey's fan clubs; in 1935, polls showed that Popeye was even more popular than Mickey Mouse. However, during the early 1930s, stricter censorship rules enforced by the new Production Code in 1934 required animation producers to remove risqu\u00e9 humor. The Fleischers in particular had to tone down the content of their Betty Boop cartoons, which waned in popularity afterwards. The Fleischers also had produced a number of ''Color Classics'' cartoons during the 1930s which attempted to emulate Walt Disney's use of color, but the series was not a success.\n\n===Feature-length films===\nIn 1934 Max Fleischer became interested in producing an animated feature film shortly after Disney's announcement of ''Snow White'', however Paramount vetoed the idea. In 1936, Fleischer Studios produced the first of three two-reel ''Popeye'' Technicolor features: ''Popeye the Sailor Meets Sindbad the Sailor'' in 1936, ''Popeye the Sailor Meets Ali Baba's Forty Thieves'' in 1937, and ''Aladdin and His Wonderful Lamp'' in 1939.\n\nIn 1938 after Disney's success with ''Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs'', Paramount gave the Fleischers permission to produce a feature film and Fleischer studio relocated itself from New York to Miami, Florida in order to avoid organized unions, which became a threat to the studio after a five-month strike occurred among Fleischer Studio workers in late 1937. Here the Fleischers produced ''Gulliver's Travels'' which was released in 1939. It was a small success and encouraged the Fleischers to produce more.\n\n===''Superman'' and decline===\nIn May 1941 the Fleischers gave Paramount full ownership of the studio as collateral to pay off their debts left from the loans they obtained from the studio to make unsuccessful cartoons like ''Stone Age'', ''Gabby'', and ''Color Classics''. However, they still maintained their positions as heads of their studio's production. Under Paramount rule, the Fleischers brought Popeye into the Navy and contributed to the war effort, and would gain more success by beginning a series of spectacular ''Superman'' cartoons (the first of which was nominated for an Oscar) that have become legendary in themselves.\n\nDespite the success Superman gave the studio, a major blow to the studio would occur when the married Dave started having an adulterous affair with the Miami secretary. This led to many disputes between the Fleischer Brothers until Max and Dave were no longer speaking to each other. In 1941 they released ''Mister Bug Goes to Town'', unfortunately it was released a few days before the attack on Pearl Harbor, which caused ''Mister Bug'' to fail at the box-office. Shortly after the film's failure Dave Fleischer, still maintaining his position as co-chief of his studio, had left Fleischer Studios to run Columbia Pictures' Screen Gems cartoons. Due to this, Paramount Pictures expelled Dave and Max Fleischer from their positions as the head of the cartoon studio.\n\nIn a move that remains controversial to the present day (though it has not been closely examined by film historians), Paramount took over the Fleischer studio completely and brought it under the fold of their own studio, renaming it Famous Studios and continuing the work that the Fleischers began. Paramount also discontinued the expensive ''Superman'' cartoons in 1943. The departure of the Fleischers had an immediate effect on the studio: the Paramount cartoons of the war years continued to be entertaining and popular and still retained most of the Fleischer style and gloss. After the war ended in May 1945, a decline in story and animation quality began that would become more and more evident as the decade came to a close.\n" "Warner Bros." "In 1929 former Disney animators Hugh Harman and Rudolf Ising made a cartoon entitled ''Bosko, the Talk-Ink Kid'', and tried to sell it to a distributor in 1930. Warner Bros. who had previously tried an unsuccessful attempt to set up a cartoon studio in New York in order to compete with Disney, agreed to distribute the series. Under producer Leon Schlesinger's guide Harman and Ising created ''Looney Tunes'' (the title being variation on Disney's ''Silly Symphonies'') starring their character Bosko. A second Harman-Ising series, ''Merrie Melodies'', followed in 1931. Both series showed the strong influence of the early Disney films.\n\n===Harman & Ising break away===\n\nAfter disputes over money, Harman-Ising parted company with Schlesinger in 1933, taking Bosko with them to work with Metro Goldwyn Mayer. Schlesinger began his own cartoon operation under the new name Leon Schlesinger Productions, hiring Harman-Ising animator Friz Freleng and several others to run the studio. Animator Tom Palmer created a Bosko clone known as Buddy and answered to Disney's use of color in ''Silly Symphonies'' cartoons in 1934, and began making all future ''Merrie Melodies'' cartoons in color. However, since Disney had an exclusive deal with Technicolor, Schlesinger was forced to use Cinecolor and Two Strip Technicolor until 1935 when Disney's contract with Technicolor expired. In 1935, Schlesinger fired Tom Palmer and Buddy was retired.\n\n===The creation of new stars===\nIn a 1935 ''Merrie Melodie'' directed by Friz Freleng entitled ''I Haven't Got a Hat'' was the first screen appearance of Porky Pig. Also in 1935, Schlesinger hired a new animation director who proceeded to revitalize the studio: Tex Avery. Schlesinger put Avery in charge of the low-budget Looney Tunes in a low run-down old building the animators named ''Termite Terrace''. Under Avery, Porky Pig would replace the Buddy series and become the first Warner Bros. character to achieve star power. Also at ''Termite Terrace'' animator Bob Clampett redesigned Porky from a fat, chubby pig to a more cute and childlike character.\n\nUnlike the other cartoon producers at the time, Avery had no intention of competing with Disney, but instead brought a new wacky, zany style of animation to the studio that would increase the Warner Bros. cartoons' popularity in the crowded marketplace. This was firmly established in 1937 when Tex Avery directed ''Porky's Duck Hunt''. During production of the short lead animator Bob Clampett elaborated the exit of the Duck character by having him jump up and down on his head, flip around and holler off into the sunset. This created the character of Daffy Duck. After Daffy Duck was created, he would add even more success to Warner Bros cartoons and replaced Porky Pig as the studio's most popular animated character, and Bob Clampett took over ''Termite Terrace'', while Tex Avery took over the ''Merrie Melodies'' department.\n\nThe 1940 Academy Award-nominated cartoon ''A Wild Hare'' (directed by Avery) marked Bugs Bunny's official debut. Bugs Bunny quickly replaced Daffy as the studio's top star. The characters Avery created are widely known today. By 1942 he had become the most popular cartoon character. Because of the success of Bugs, Daffy and Porky, the Schlesinger studio now had risen to new heights, and Bugs quickly also became the star of the color cartoons ''Merrie Melodies'', which had previously been used for one-shot character appearances. By 1942 Warners' shorts had now surpassed Disney's in sales and popularity.\n\nFrank Tashlin also worked with Avery in the Merrie Melodies department. He started at Warner Bros. in 1933 as an animator but was fired and joined Iwerks in 1934. Tashlin returned in 1936, taking over direction of Merrie Melodies department. He returned in 1943 directing Porky and Daffy cartoons. He left in 1946 to direct life-action films. Robert McKimson took over his old unit. \"Here today, gone tomorrow. Now you see him, now you don't. That was Frank Tashlin, who would be working at Leon Schlesinger's one day, and, suddenly, gone the next day.\" Clampett was fired that same year and Arthur Davis took over his unit for 3 years before management thought there should only be three directors.\n\n===Schlesinger sells his studio to Warner Bros.===\n\nAfter several disputes with Schlesinger (suspended for 4 weeks with no pay), Avery left Warner Bros. in 1941 and went to work at MGM. Avery created Droopy Dog in 1943 and many other characters during his 12-year career at MGM. Schlesinger sold his studio to Warner Bros. in August 1944. Edward Selzer was in turn named the new producer. By this time, Warners' cartoons top directors of the 1940s and 1950s were Friz Freleng, Chuck Jones, and Bob Clampett. Their cartoons are now considered classics of the medium. They directed some of the most beloved animated shorts of all time, including (for Clampett) ''Porky in Wackyland'', ''A Corny Concerto'', ''The Great Piggy Bank Robbery'', ''The Big Snooze'', (for Freleng) ''You Ought to Be in Pictures'', ''Little Red Riding Rabbit'', ''Birds Anonymous'', ''Knighty Knight Bugs'', (for Jones) ''Duck Amuck'', ''Duck Dodgers in the 24\u00bdth Century'', ''One Froggy Evening'', and ''What's Opera, Doc?''.\n\nRobert McKimson was promoted to director after Frank Tashlin left the studio to direct life-action films. Arthur Davis took over after Clampett was fired by Selzer. Clampett went to work on Beany and Cecil. McKimson created many recurring characters like Foghorn Leghorn, the Barnyard Dawg, Hippety Hopper, Speedy Gonzales, and Sylvester Jr..\n\n===Closing and formation of DePatie-Freleng===\n\nAfter more than two decades at the top, Warner Bros shut down the original \"Termite Terrace\" studio in 1963 and DePatie-Freleng Enterprises assumed production of the shorts, licensed by Warner Bros. After DePatie-Freleng ceased production of ''Looney Tunes'' in 1967, Bill Hendricks was put in charge of production of the newly renamed Warner Bros.-Seven Arts animation studio, and hired veterans such as Alex Lovy and LaVerne Harding from the Walter Lantz studio, Volus Jones and Ed Solomon from Disney, Jaime Diaz who later worked on ''The Fairly OddParents'' as director, and David Hanan, who previously worked on ''Roger Ramjet''. Hendricks brought only three of the original ''Looney Tunes'' veterans to the studio such as Ted Bonniscken, Norman McCabe and Bob Givens. The studio's one shot cartoons from this era were critically panned and are widely considered to be the worst in the studio's history: ''Cool Cat'', ''Merlin the Magic Mouse'', and ''Chimp and Zee'' and ''Norman Normal'', despite the later gaining a large cult following, were said to be witless, crudely animated as well as having poor writing and design because of the extremely low budgets the crew had to work with by this time. Alex Lovy left the studio in 1968 and Robert McKimson took over. McKimson mostly focused on the recurring characters Alex Lovy had created and two of his own creation, Bunny and Claude. The last of the original ''Looney Tunes'' shorts produced was ''Bugged by a Bee'' and the last ''Merrie Melodies'' short was ''Injun Trouble'', which shares its name with another ''Looney Tunes'' short from 1938. The Warner Bros.-Seven Arts studio finally shut down in 1969. 1039 Looney Tunes shorts were created.\n\nA decade later, after the success of the film, ''The Bugs Bunny/Road Runner Movie'', which consisted predominantly of footage from the classic shorts by Jones, a new in-house studio to produce original animation opened its doors in 1980 named Warner Bros. Animation, which exists to this day.\n" "Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer" "\n===Iwerks Era (1930\u20131933)===\nAt first, Mickey was drawn by Disney's long-time partner and friend Ub Iwerks, who was also a technical innovator in cartoons, and drew an average of 600 drawings for Disney on a daily basis; Disney was responsible for the ideas in the cartoons, and Iwerks was responsible for bringing them to life. However, Iwerks left the Disney studio in 1930 to form his own company, which was financially backed by Celebrity Pictures owner Pat Powers. After his departure, Disney eventually found a number of different animators to replace Iwerks. Iwerks would produce three cartoon series during the 1930s: ''Flip the Frog'' and ''Willie Whopper'' for Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer, and the ''ComiColor Cartoons'' for Pat Powers' Celebrity Productions. However, none of these cartoons could come close to matching the success of Disney or Fleischer cartoons, and in 1933, MGM, Iwerks' cartoon distributor since 1930, ended distribution of his cartoons in favor of distributing Harman and Ising cartoons, and Iwerks left after his contract expired in 1934. After his stay with MGM, Iwerks' cartoons were distributed by Celebrity Pictures, and Iwerks would answer to Disney's use of Technicolor and create the Comicolor series, which aired cartoons in two-strip Cinecolor. However, by 1936, the Iwerks Studio began to experience financial setbacks and closed after Pat Powers withdrew financial aid to the studio. Iwerks returned to Disney in 1940, where he worked as the head of the \"special effects development\" division until his death in 1971.\n\n===Harman-Ising Era (1933\u20131939)===\nAfter MGM dropped Iwerks, they hired Harman and Ising from Leon Schlesinger and Warner Bros and appointed them heads of the studio. They began producing ''Bosko'' and ''Happy Harmonies'' cartoons which were emulative of Disney's ''Silly Symphonies''. However they failed to make a success in the theaters, and in 1937 the ''Bosko'' and ''Happy Harmonies'' series were discontinued and MGM replaced Harman and Ising with Fred Quimby. After Quimby took over, he kept a number of Harman and Ising's staff and scouted other animation studios for talent. He created an animated adaptation of the comic book series ''The Katzenjammer Kids'' which he re-titled ''The Captain & The Kids''. ''The Captain & The Kids'' series was unsuccessful. In 1939, however, Quimby gained success after rehiring Harman & Ising. After returning to MGM, Ising also created MGM's first successful animated star, Barney Bear.\n\n===Hanna-Barbera Era (1939\u20131957)===\nIn 1939 William Hanna and Joseph Barbera started a partnership that would last for more than six decades, until Hanna's death in 2001. The duo's first cartoon together was ''Puss Gets the Boot'' (1940), featuring an unnamed mouse's attempts to outwit a housecat named Jasper. Though released without fanfare, the short was financially and critically successful, earning an Academy Award nomination for Best Short Subject (Cartoons) of 1940. On the strength of the Oscar nomination and public demand, Hanna and Barbera set themselves to producing a long-running series of cat-and-mouse cartoons, soon christening the characters ''Tom and Jerry''. ''Puss Gets the Boot'' did not win the 1940 Academy Award for Best Cartoon, but another MGM cartoon, Rudolf Ising's ''The Milky Way'' did, making ''MGM cartoon studio'' the first studio to wrestle the Cartoon Academy Award away from Walt Disney.\n\nAfter appearing in ''Puss Gets the Boot'', Tom and Jerry quickly became the stars of MGM cartoons. With Hanna-Barbera under their belts, ''MGM cartoon studio'' was finally able to compete with Disney in the field of animated cartoons. The shorts were successful at the box office, many licensed products (comic books, toys, etc.) were released to the market, and the series would earn twelve more Academy Award for Short Subjects (Cartoons) nominations, with seven of the Tom and Jerry shorts going on to win the Academy Award: ''The Yankee Doodle Mouse'' (1943), ''Mouse Trouble'' (1944), ''Quiet Please!'' (1945), ''The Cat Concerto'' (1946), ''The Little Orphan'' (1948), ''The Two Mouseketeers'' (1951), and ''Johann Mouse'' (1952). Tom and Jerry was eventually tied with ''Disney's Silly Symphonies'' as the most-awarded theatrical cartoon series. Hanna and Barbera also produced/directed for ''MGM cartoon studio'' half a dozen ''one-shot theatrical shorts'' besides ''Tom and Jerry series'', including ''Gallopin' Gals'' (1940), ''Officer Pooch'' (1941), ''War Dogs'' (1943) and ''Good Will to Men'' (1955). Fred Quimby retired in 1955, with Hanna and Barbera replacing him in charge of the remaining MGM cartoons (including the last seven Tex Avery's ''Droopy episodes'') until 1957, when the studio shut down the H-B unit, ending all the animation productions.\n\nKey to the successes of ''Tom and Jerry'' and other MGM cartoons was the work of Scott Bradley, who scored virtually all of the cartoons for the studio from 1934 to 1957. Bradley's scores made use of both classical and jazz sensibilities. In addition, he often used songs from the scores of MGM's feature films, the most frequent of them being \"The Trolley Song\" from ''Meet Me in St. Louis'' (1944) and \"Sing Before Breakfast\" from ''Broadway Melody of 1936''.\n\n===Tex Avery Era (1942\u20131953)===\nMeanwhile, Tex Avery came to MGM in 1942 and revitalized their cartoon studio with the same spark that had infused the Warner animators. Tex Avery's wild surreal masterpieces of his MGM days set new standards for \"adult\" entertainment in Code-era cartoons. Tex Avery did not like to use recurring characters, but did stay faithful to character throughout his career at MGM with ''Droopy'', which was created in ''Dumb-Hounded'' in 1943. Tex also created ''Screwy Squirrel'' in 1944, but Tex was less fond of him and discontinued the series after five cartoons. In 1953 Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer closed down the Tex Avery unit. Fred Quimby retired in 1955, with Hanna and Barbera replacing him in charge of the remaining MGM cartoons (including the last seven Tex Avery's ''Droopy episodes'') until 1957, when the studio shut down the H-B unit, ending all the animation productions.\n" "Mintz/Screen Gems/UPA" "After Charles Mintz was fired from Universal he was still in charge of his own cartoon operation producing Krazy Kat cartoons for Columbia Pictures. He also created a new series featuring a boy named Scrappy, created by Dick Huemer in 1931. Scrappy was a big break for Mintz and was also his most successful creation, but his studio would suffer irreparable damage after Dick Huemer was fired from the Mintz Studio in 1933. In 1934 Mintz, like most other animation studios at the time, also attempted to answer Disney's use of Technicolor, and began making color cartoons through the Color Rhapsodies series; the series was originally in either cinicolor or two-strip Technicolor, but moved to three-strip Technicolor after Disney's contract with Technicolor expired in 1935. However, the series failed to garner attention, and by 1939, Mintz was largely indebted to Columbia Pictures. As a result, Mintz sold his studio to Columbia. Columbia renamed the studio, which Mintz still managed, Screen Gems; Mintz died the following year.\n\nFrank Tashlin and John Hubley, were Disney animators who left during the strike, and obtained jobs at Screen Gems, where Tashlin served as head producer while Hubley acted as director for studio. Tashlin helped Screen Gems gain more success by introducing The Fox and the Crow, Screen Gems' biggest stars. Tashlin maintained his position until Columbia Pictures released him from the studio in favor of Dave Fleischer in 1942. The Screen Gems cartoons were only moderately successful and never gained the artistic talent of Disney, Warner Bros. or MGM. Columbia Pictures closed the studio in 1946 and started looking for a new cartoon production company.\n\n===United Productions of America===\nIn 1943 John Hubley left Screen Gems and formed a studio with former Disney animators Stephen Bosustow, David Hilberman, and Zachary Schwartz, who\u2014like Hubley\u2014had left Walt's nest during the animator's strike. The studio Hubley founded was a newer, smaller animation studio that focused on pursuing Hubley's own vision of trying out newer, more abstract and experimental styles of animation. Bosustow, Hilberman, and Schwartz named the new studio as Industrial Film and Poster Service, or IFPS. Artistically, the studio used a style of animation that has come to be known as ''limited animation''. The first short from the newly formed studio was ''Hell-Bent for Election'' (directed by Warners veteran Chuck Jones), a cartoon made for the re-election campaign of Franklin D. Roosevelt. Although this new film was a success, it did not break the boundaries that Hubley and his staffers had hoped. It wasn't until the third short, Bobe Cannon's ''Brotherhood of Man'', that the studio began producing shorts aggressively stylized in contrast to the films of the other studios. Cannon's film even preached a message that, at the time, was looked down upon\u2014racial tolerance. By 1946, the studio was renamed as United Productions of America (UPA), and Hilberman and Schwartz had sold their shares of the studio stock to Bosustow.\n\nIn 1948 UPA also found a home for itself at Columbia Pictures and began producing theatrical cartoons for the general public, instead of just using propaganda and military training themes; UPA also earned itself two Academy Award nominations for new cartoons starring The Fox And The Crow during its first two years in production. From there, the UPA animators began producing a series of cartoons that immediately stood out among the crowded field of mirror-image, copycat cartoons of the other studios. The success of UPA's ''Mr. Magoo'' series made all of the other studios sit up and take notice, and when the UPA short ''Gerald McBoing-Boing'' won an Oscar, the effect on Hollywood was immediate and electrifying. The UPA style was markedly different from everything else being seen on movie screens, and audiences responded to the change that UPA offered from the repetition of usual cat-mouse battles. Mr Magoo would go on to be the studio's most successful cartoon character. However, UPA would suffer a major blow after John Hubley was fired from the studio during the McCarthy Era in 1952, due to suspicions of his having ties to Communism; Steve Bosustow took over, but was not as successful as Hubley, and the studio was eventually sold to Henry Saperstein.\n\nBy 1953 UPA had gained great influence within the industry. The Hollywood cartoon studios gradually moved away from the lush, realistic detail of the 1940s to a more simplistic, less realistic style of animation. By this time, even Disney was attempting to mimic UPA. 1953's ''Melody'' and ''Toot, Whistle, Plunk and Boom'' in particular were experiments in stylization that followed in the footsteps of the newly formed studio.\n\n===Feature-length films===\nIn 1959 UPA released ''1001 Arabian Nights'' starring Mr Magoo, and in UPA released ''Gay Purr-ee'' with the voice talents of Judy Garland. In 1964, UPA decided to abandon animation and simply become a distribution company.\n" "Walter Lantz Productions" "In 1929 Walter Lantz replaced Charles Mintz as producer of Universal Studios cartoons. Lantz's main character at this time was Oswald the Lucky Rabbit, whose earlier cartoons had been produced by both Walt Disney and Charles Mintz. Lantz also started to experiment with color cartoons, and the first one, called Jolly Little Elves, was released in 1934. In 1935 Lantz made his studio independent from Universal Studios, and Universal Studios was now only the distributors of his cartoons, instead of the direct owners.\n\nIn the 1940s Oswald began to lose popularity. Lantz and his staff worked on several ideas for possible new cartoon characters (among them Meany, Miny, and Moe and Baby-Face Mouse). Eventually one of these characters clicked; his name was Andy Panda, who aired in Technicolor. However successful Andy was, it was not until the character's fifth cartoon, ''Knock Knock'' that a real breakthrough character was introduced. This was none other than Woody Woodpecker, who become Lantz's most successful creation.\n\nWalter Lantz Studio closed at the end of 1948 due to financial problems. It opened again in 1950 with a downsized staff, mainly because Lantz was able to sign a deal with Universal (by this time now known as Universal-International) for more Woody Woodpecker cartoons, starting with 1951's Puny Express. The character would continue to appear in theatrical shorts until 1972, when Lantz finally closed his studio. Luckily for Lantz Woody Woodpecker's survival was lengthened when he started appearing in ''The Woody Woodpecker Show'' from 1957 to 1958, from which it entered syndication until 1966. NBC revived the show twice\u2014in 1970 and 1976, and finally in 1985 Lantz sold all of the Woody Woodpecker shorts to Universal, then part of MCA.\n" "Van Beuren Studios" "\nFelix the Cat in ''The Goose That Laid the Golden Egg'' by Van Beuren\nIn 1928, producer Amadee J. Van Beuren formed a partnership with Paul Terry and formed the '\"Aesop's Fables Studio\" for the production of the ''Aesop's Film Fables'' cartoon series. In 1929, Terry left to start his own studio and was replaced by John Foster took over the animation department who renamed the studio Van Beuren Studios.\n\nVan Beuren continued the Aesop's Fables series, and unsuccessfully tried a cartoon adaptation of radio blackface comedians Amos 'n Andy. Other Van Beuren cartoons featured Tom and Jerry (not the cat and mouse, but a Mutt and Jeff-like human duo,) and Otto Soglow's comic strip character The Little King. Frank Tashlin and Joseph Barbera were among animators who worked briefly for the studio during its short life.\n\nIn 1934, as other studios were putting cartoons in Technicolor to answer to Disney's Silly Symphonies cartoon series, Van Beuren Studio abandoned its remaining cartoons and answered Disney's use of Technicolor by creating the Rainbow Parade series, which was all color. However, the series was not a success, and by 1936, RKO Pictures, the owner of the Van Beuren Studio, closed the studio as RKO chose to instead distribute Disney cartoons.\n" "Terrytoons" "After losing his ''Aesop's Film Fables'' series to Van Beuren Studios in 1929, Terry established a new studio called Terrytoons.\n\nTerrytoons produced 26 cartoons a year for E.W. Hammons' Educational Pictures, which in turn supplied short-subject product to the Fox Film Corporation, (later 20th Century-Fox.) Terry's cartoons of the 1930s were mainly black-and-white musical cartoons without recurring characters, except for Farmer Al Falfa, who had appeared in Terry's cartoons since the silent era. Educational foundered in the late 1930s, and Terry signed directly with Fox to distribute his pictures.\n\nThe 1940s brought Terry's most popular and successful characters, Mighty Mouse beginning in 1942, and Heckle and Jeckle, developed by combining what was originally a husband-and-wife pair of mischievous magpies from the 1946 Farmer Al Falfa cartoon \"The Talking Magpies\" with Terry's notion that twin brothers or look-alikes had comic possibilities.\n\nTerry sold his company and its backlog to CBS in 1955 and retired. CBS continued to operate the studio for nearly 15 years afterward; its output divided between theatrical short cartoons and television series, including Tom Terrific, Lariat Sam, and Deputy Dawg.\n" "Trends" "\n===Sound in animation===\nWhile much of the focus in an animated cartoon is on the visuals, the vocal talents and symphonic scores that accompanied the images were also very important to the cartoons' success. As motion pictures drew audiences away from their radio sets, it also drew talented actors and vocal impressionists into film and animation. Mel Blanc gave voice to many of Warner Bros. most popular characters, including Bugs Bunny, Porky Pig (starting in 1937), and Daffy Duck. Other voices and personalities from vaudeville and radio contributed to the popularity of animated films in the Golden Era. Some of these (generally uncredited) actors included Cliff Edwards, also known as Ukulele Ike, Arthur Q. Bryan, Stan Freberg, Bea Benaderet, Bill Thompson, Grace Stafford, Jim Backus, June Foray, and Daws Butler.\n\nCartoons of this era also included scores played by studio orchestras. Carl Stalling at Schlesinger/Warner Bros. and Scott Bradley at MGM composed numerous cartoon soundtracks, creating original material as well as incorporating familiar classical and popular melodies. Many of the early cartoons, particularly those of Disney's ''Silly Symphonies'' series, were built around classical pieces. These cartoons sometimes featured star characters, but many had simple nature themes.\n\n===Stop motion and special effects===\nFor a great part of the history of Hollywood animation, the production of animated films was an exclusive industry that did not branch off very often into other areas. The various animation studios worked almost exclusively on producing animated cartoons and animated titles for movies. Only occasionally was animation used for other aspects of the movie industry. The low-budget ''Superman'' serials of the 1940s used animated sequences of Superman flying and performing super-powered feats which were used in the place of live-action special effects, but this was not a common practice.\n\nThe exclusivity of animation also resulted in the birth of a sister industry that was used almost exclusively for motion picture special effects: stop motion animation. In spite of their similarities, the two genres of stop-motion and hand-drawn animation rarely came together during the Golden Age of Hollywood. Stop-motion animation made a name for itself with the 1933 box-office hit ''King Kong'', where animator Willis O'Brien defined many of the major stop motion techniques used for the next 50 years. The success of ''King Kong'' led to a number of other early special effects films, including ''Mighty Joe Young,'' which was also animated by O'Brien and helped to start the careers of several animators, including Ray Harryhausen, who came into his own in the 1950s. George Pal was the only stop-motion animator to produce a series of stop-motion animated cartoons for theatrical release, the ''Puppetoon'' series for Paramount, some of which were animated by Ray Harryhausen. Pal went on to produce several live-action special effects-laden feature films.\n\nStop motion animation reached the height of its popularity during the 1950s. The exploding popularity of science fiction films led to an exponential development in the field of special effects, and George Pal became the producer of several popular special effects-laden films. Meanwhile, Ray Harryhausen's work on such films as ''Earth vs. the Flying Saucers, The Seventh Voyage of Sinbad'', and ''The Beast from 20,000 Fathoms'' drew in large crowds and encouraged the development of \"realistic\" special effects in films. These effects used many of the same techniques as cel animation, but still the two media did not often come together. Stop motion developed to the point where Douglas Trumbull's effects in ''2001: A Space Odyssey'' seemed lifelike to an unearthly degree.\n\nHollywood special effects continued to develop in a manner that largely avoided cel animation, though several memorable animated sequences were included in live-action feature films of the era. The most famous of these was a scene during the movie ''Anchors Aweigh'', in which actor Gene Kelly danced with an animated Jerry Mouse (of ''Tom and Jerry'' fame). But except for occasional sequences of this sort, the only real integration of cel animation into live-action films came in the development of animated credit and title sequences. Saul Bass' opening sequences for Alfred Hitchcock's films (including ''Vertigo'', ''North by Northwest'', and ''Psycho'') are highly praised, and inspired several imitators.\n\n===The wartime era===\n\nThe major Hollywood studios contributed greatly to the war effort, and their cartoon studios pitched in as well with various contributions. At the Fleischer studios, Popeye the Sailor joined the Navy and began fighting Nazis and \"Japs\"; while the Warner Bros. studio produced a series of ''Private Snafu'' instructional film cartoons especially for viewing by enlisted soldiers.\n" "Decline of theatrical shorts" "\n===DePatie-Freleng===\nThe 1960s saw some creative sparks in the theatrical film medium, in particular from DePatie-Freleng Enterprises. Their first and most successful project was animating the opening titles for the 1964 film, ''The Pink Panther'', starring Peter Sellers. The film and its animated sequences were so successful that United Artists commissioned the studio to produce a Pink Panther cartoon series. The first short, ''The Pink Phink'', won the Academy Award for Best Animated Short Film of 1964. The studio also produced other successful cartoon series such as ''The Inspector'' and ''The Ant and the Aardvark''.\n\nMeanwhile, Chuck Jones, who had been fired from Warner Bros., moved to MGM to produce thirty-four theatrical ''Tom and Jerry'' cartoons in late 1963. These cartoons were animated in his distinctive style, but they never quite matched the popularity of the Hanna-Barbera originals of the 1940s and 1950s heyday, However, they were more successful than the Gene Deitch ''Tom and Jerry'' shorts, which were produced overseas during 1961 and 1962.\n\nFrom 1964 to 1967 DePatie-Freleng produced ''Looney Tunes'' and ''Merrie Melodies'' shorts under contract with Warner Bros. These cartoons can be recognized easily because they use the modern abstract WB logos instead of the famous bullseye WB shield concentric circles. The studio also subcontracted 11 Road Runner cartoons to Format Films. DePatie-Freleng ceased production of ''Looney Tunes'' and moved to the San Fernando Valley in 1967 to continue production of their ''Pink Panther'' cartoons. In 1981, the studio was purchased by Marvel Comics and was renamed Marvel Productions.\n\n===Moving to the small screen===\nIn 1946 the animation union of the time negotiated a pay increase of 25%, making the cartoons more expensive to produce on a general basis. After the 1948 verdict following the Hollywood Antitrust case, there was no longer a booking guarantee on the theatres for cartoons from any of the studios, making it a more risky business and because of this less resources were invested in the theatrical shorts, causing a gradual decline. By the beginning of the 1960s, the medium of television was beginning to gain more momentum, and the animation industry began to change as a result. At the head of this change were the tandem of William Hanna and Joseph Barbera, the creators of ''Tom and Jerry.'' The new Hanna-Barbera utilized the limited animation style that UPA had pioneered. With this limited animation, Hanna and Barbera created several characters including ''Huckleberry Hound'', ''The Flintstones'', ''Yogi Bear'' and ''Top Cat''. With television's growing popularity, which included the saturday morning cartoons, a decline began in movie-going. To face the competition from TV, the theaters did what they could to reduce their own costs. One way of doing so was booking features only and avoiding the expenses of shorts, which were considered unnecessary and too expensive. Those few shorts that found their way to the theaters despite this are often viewed by critics as inferior to their predecessors.\n" "Timeline" "This is a timeline of American animation studios' active production of regularly released cartoon shorts for theatrical exhibition. Some studios continue to release animated shorts to theaters on an infrequent basis. The colors correspond to the animation studio's associated theatrical distributor.\n\n\n\n\n\n\nImageSize = width:1100 height:auto barincrement:20\nPlotArea = left:210 bottom:120 top:0 right:30\nAlignbars = justify\nDateFormat = yyyy\nPeriod = from:1913 till:1980\nTimeAxis = orientation:horizontal format:yyyy\nLegend = orientation:vertical position:bottom columns:4\nScaleMajor = increment:4 start:1913\nScaleMinor = increment:4 start:1915\n\nColors =\n\n id:BuenaVista value:darkblue legend:Buena_Vista\n id:Fox value:yellow legend:Fox_Films/20th_Century_Fox\n id:Columbia value:purple legend:Columbia_Pictures\n id:Educational value:black legend:Educational_Pictures\n id:MGM value:pink legend:Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer\n id:RKO value:green legend:RKO_Radio_Pictures\n id:Paramount value:blue legend:Paramount_Pictures\n id:Pathe value:brightgreen legend:Path\u00e9_Exchange\n id:UA value:skyblue legend:United_Artists\n id:Universal value:orange legend:Universal_Studios\n id:WB value:red legend:Warner_Brothers\n id:Winkler value:lightpurple legend:Winkler_Pictures\n id:Other value:gray(0.8) legend:Other_Distributors\n id:time value:gray(0.9)\n\nBarData =\n \n bar:Barre text:\"Barr\u00e9 Studio/Barr\u00e9-Bowers Studio\"\n bar:Bray text:\"Bray Productions\"\n bar:IFS text:\"International Film Service\"\n bar:Sullivan text:\"Pat Sullivan Studio\"\n bar:VanBeuren text:\"Fables Studios/Van Beuren Studios\"\n bar:Terry text:\"Paul Terry Productions\"\n bar:Fleischer text:\"Inkwell Studios/Fleischer Studios\"\n bar:Famous text:\"Famous Studios\"\n bar:Disney text:\"Walt Disney Studios\"\n bar:Mintz text:\"Winkler/Mintz/Columbia Screen Gems\"\n bar:UPA text:\"United Productions of America (UPA)\"\n bar:WB text:\"Leon Schlesinger/Warner Brothers\"\n bar:MGM text:\"Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer (MGM)\"\n bar:Lantz text:\"Walter Lantz Productions\"\n bar:DePatie text:\"DePatie-Freleng Enterprises\"\n bar:Iwerks text:\"Ub Iwerks Studio\"\n bar:Rembrandt text:\"Rembrandt Films\"\n\nPlotData=\n\n width:10 textcolor:black align:left anchor:from shift:(10,-4)\n bar:Barre from:1913 till:1916 color:Pathe\n bar:Barre from:1916 till:1918 color:Other\n bar:Barre from:1918 till:1923 color:Fox\n bar:Barre from:1923 till:1926 color:Other\n bar:Bray from:1913 till:1919 color:Paramount\n bar:Bray from:1919 till:1926 color:Other\n bar:IFS from:1915 till:1916 color:Other\n bar:IFS from:1916 till:1917 color:Pathe\n bar:IFS from:1917 till:1919 color:Educational\n bar:Sullivan from:1916 till:1919 color:Universal\n bar:Sullivan from:1919 till:1922 color:Paramount\n bar:Sullivan from:1922 till:1925 color:Winkler\n bar:Sullivan from:1925 till:1928 color:Educational\n bar:Sullivan from:1928 till:1930 color:Other\n bar:VanBeuren from:1921 till:1929 color:Pathe\n bar:VanBeuren from:1929 till:1936 color:RKO\n bar:Fleischer from:1921 till:1927 color:other\n bar:Fleischer from:1927 till:1942 color:Paramount\n bar:Famous from:1942 till:1967 color:Paramount\n bar:Disney from:1921 till:1923 color:Other\n bar:Disney from:1923 till:1927 color:Winkler\n bar:Disney from:1927 till:1928 color:Universal\n bar:Disney from:1928 till:1929 color:Other\n bar:Disney from:1929 till:1932 color:Columbia\n bar:Disney from:1932 till:1937 color:UA\n bar:Disney from:1937 till:1956 color:RKO\n bar:Disney from:1956 till:1969 color:BuenaVista\n bar:Mintz from:1925 till:1928 color:Winkler\n bar:Mintz from:1928 till:1929 color:Universal\n bar:Mintz from:1929 till:1946 color:Columbia\n bar:UPA from:1948 till:1959 color:Columbia\n bar:Terry from:1930 till:1968 color:Fox\n bar:Lantz from:1929 till:1947 color:Universal\n bar:Lantz from:1947 till:1948 color:UA\n bar:Lantz from:1950 till:1972 color:Universal\n bar:Iwerks from:1930 till:1934 color:MGM\n bar:Iwerks from:1934 till:1936 color:Other \n bar:MGM from:1934 till:1958 color:MGM\n bar:WB from:1930 till:1964 color:WB\n bar:DePatie from:1964 till:1967 color:WB\n bar:DePatie from:1967 till:1980 color:UA\n bar:WB from:1967 till:1969 color:WB\n bar:MGM from:1963 till: 1967 color:MGM\n bar:Rembrandt from:1961 till: 1962 color:MGM\n bar:Rembrandt from:1962 till: 1967 color:Paramount\nLineData =\n at:1915 color:time layer:back\n at:1920 color:time layer:back\n at:1925 color:time layer:back\n at:1930 color:time layer:back\n at:1935 color:time layer:back\n at:1940 color:time layer:back\n at:1945 color:time layer:back\n at:1950 color:time layer:back\n at:1955 color:time layer:back\n at:1960 color:time layer:back\n at:1965 color:time layer:back\n at:1970 color:time layer:back\n at:1980 color:time layer:back\n\n" "See also" "* History of animation\n* Animated cartoon\n* List of animation shorts\n" "References" "\n" "Sources" "* Barrier, Michael (1999): ''Hollywood Cartoons''.

He was resentful of the change over. In the rewrite, the David Merrill character was changed from a Communist Party member to a relatively apolitical liberal. Winkler based his conception of Merrill on blacklisted director John Berry, who would come back to Hollywood film though it took time to get off the blacklist. Polonsky was so offended that director Irwin Winkler changed the main character that he not only had his name taken off of the picture, he also refused an executive producer credit that would have earned him a substantial fee.\n" "References" "\n" "External links" "* \n* \n* \n* \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n"
"Guinea pig" "Introduction" "\n\n\n\n\nThe '''guinea pig''' (''Cavia porcellus''), '''cavy''' or '''domestic guinea pig''', or '''cuy''' for livestock breeds, is a species of rodent belonging to the family Caviidae and the genus ''Cavia''. Despite their common name, these animals are not in the pig family Suidae, nor do they come from Guinea. They originated in the Andes, and earlier studies based on biochemistry and hybridization suggest they are domesticated descendants of a closely related species of cavy such as ''Cavia aperea'', ''C. fulgida'', or ''C. tschudii'' and, therefore, do not exist naturally in the wild. Recent studies applying molecular markers, in addition to studying the skull and skeletal morphology of current and mummified animals, revealed that the ancestor is most likely ''Cavia tschudii''.\n\nThe domestic guinea pig plays an important role in the folk culture of many Indigenous South American groups, especially as a food source, but also in folk medicine and in community religious ceremonies. Since the 1960s, efforts have been made to increase consumption of the animal outside South America.\n\nIn Western societies, the domestic guinea pig has enjoyed widespread popularity as a household pet since its introduction by European traders in the 16th century. Their docile nature; friendly, even affectionate responsiveness to handling and feeding; and the relative ease of caring for them, continue to make guinea pigs a popular pet. Organizations devoted to competitive breeding of guinea pigs have been formed worldwide, and many specialized breeds of guinea pig, with varying coat colors and compositions, are cultivated by breeders.\n\nBiological experimentation on guinea pigs has been carried out since the 17th century. The animals were frequently used as model organisms in the 19th and 20th centuries, resulting in the epithet \"guinea pig\" for a test subject, but have since been largely replaced by other rodents such as mice and rats. They are still used in research, primarily as models for human medical conditions such as juvenile diabetes, tuberculosis, scurvy, and pregnancy complications.\n" "History" "The guinea pig was first domesticated as early as 5000 BC for food by tribes in the Andean region of South America (the present-day southern part of Colombia, Ecuador, Peru, and Bolivia), some thousands of years after the domestication of the South American camelids. Statues dating from ''circa'' 500 BC to 500 AD that depict guinea pigs have been unearthed in archaeological digs in Peru and Ecuador. The Moche people of ancient Peru worshipped animals and often depicted the guinea pig in their art. From about 1200 AD to the Spanish conquest in 1532, selective breeding resulted in many varieties of domestic guinea pigs, which form the basis for some of the modern domestic breeds. They continue to be a food source in the region; many households in the Andean highlands raise the animal, which subsists on the family's vegetable scraps. Folklore traditions involving guinea pigs are numerous; they are exchanged as gifts, used in customary social and religious ceremonies, and frequently referenced in spoken metaphors. They also play a role in traditional healing rituals by folk doctors, or ''curanderos'', who use the animals to diagnose diseases such as jaundice, rheumatism, arthritis, and typhus. They are rubbed against the bodies of the sick, and are seen as a supernatural medium. Black guinea pigs are considered especially useful for diagnoses. The animal also may be cut open and its entrails examined to determine whether the cure was effective. These methods are widely accepted in many parts of the Andes, where Western medicine is either unavailable or distrusted.\n\nSpanish, Dutch, and English traders brought guinea pigs to Europe, where they quickly became popular as exotic pets among the upper classes and royalty, including Queen Elizabeth I. The earliest known written account of the guinea pig dates from 1547, in a description of the animal from Santo Domingo; because cavies are not native to Hispaniola, the animal was earlier believed to have been introduced there by Spanish travelers. However, based on more recent excavations on West Indian islands, the animal must have been introduced by ceramic-making horticulturalists from South America to the Caribbean around 500 BC, and it was present in the Ostionoid period, for example, on Puerto Rico, long before the advent of the Spaniards. The guinea pig was first described in the West in 1554 by the Swiss naturalist Conrad Gessner. Its binomial scientific name was first used by Erxleben in 1777; it is an amalgam of Pallas' generic designation (1766) and Linnaeus' specific conferral (1758). The earliest known illustration of a domestic guinea pig is a painting (artist unknown) in the collection of the National Portrait Gallery in London, dated to 1580, which shows a girl in typical Elizabethan dress holding a tortoise-shell guinea pig in her hands; she is flanked by her two brothers, one of whom holds a pet bird. The picture dates from the same period as the oldest recorded guinea pig remains in England, which are a partial cavy skeleton found at Hill Hall (Essex), an Elizabethan manor house, and dated to around 1575.\n" "Name" "The scientific name of the common species is ''Cavia porcellus'', with ''porcellus'' being Latin for \"little pig\". ''Cavia'' is New Latin; it is derived from ''cabiai'', the animal's name in the language of the Galibi tribes once native to French Guiana. ''Cabiai'' may be an adaptation of the Portuguese ''\u00e7avia'' (now ''savia''), which is itself derived from the Tupi word ''sauj\u00e1'', meaning rat. Guinea pigs are called ''quwi'' or ''jaca'' in Quechua and ''cuy'' or ''cuyo'' (plural ''cuyes, cuyos'') in the Spanish of Ecuador, Peru, and Bolivia. Ironically, breeders tend to use the more formal \"cavy\" to describe the animal, while in scientific and laboratory contexts, it is far more commonly referred to by the more colloquial \"guinea pig\".\n\nHow the animals came to be called \"pigs\" is not clear. They are built somewhat like pigs, with large heads relative to their bodies, stout necks, and rounded rumps with no tail of any consequence; some of the sounds they emit are very similar to those made by pigs, and they also spend a large amount of time eating. They can survive for long periods in small quarters, like a 'pig pen', and were thus easily transported on ships to Europe.\n\nThe animal's name alludes to pigs in many European languages. The German word for them is ''Meerschweinchen'', literally \"little sea pig\", which has been translated into Polish as ''\u015bwinka morska'', into Hungarian as ''tengerimalac'', and into Russian as ''\u043c\u043e\u0440\u0441\u043a\u0430\u044f \u0441\u0432\u0438\u043d\u043a\u0430''. This derives from the Middle High German name ''merswin''. This originally meant \"dolphin\" and was used because of the animals' grunting sounds (which were thought to be similar). Many other, possibly less scientifically based explanations of the German name exist. For example, sailing ships stopping to reprovision in the New World would pick up stores of guinea pigs, which provided an easily transportable source of fresh meat. The French term is ''cochon d'Inde'' (Indian pig) or ''cobaye''; the Dutch call it ''Guinees biggetje'' (Guinean piglet) or cavia (while in some Dutch dialects it is called ''Spaanse rat''); and in Portuguese, the guinea pig is variously referred to as ''cobaia'', from the Tupi word via its Latinization, or as ''porquinho da \u00cdndia'' (little Indian pig). This is not universal; for example, the common word in Spanish is ''conejillo de Indias'' (little rabbit of the Indies). The Chinese refer to them as \u8c5a\u9f20 (''t\u00fansh\u01d4'', 'pig mouse'), and sometimes as Netherlands pig (\u8377\u862d\u8c6c, ''h\u00e9l\u00e1nzh\u016b'') or Indian mouse (\u5929\u7afa\u9f20, ''ti\u0101nzh\u00fash\u01d4''). The Japanese word for guinea pig is \"\u30e2\u30eb\u30e2\u30c3\u30c8\" (''morumotto''), which derives from the name of another mountain-dwelling rodent, the marmot; this is what guinea pigs were called by the Dutch traders who first brought them to Nagasaki in 1843.\n\nThe origin of \"guinea\" in \"guinea pig\" is harder to explain. One proposed explanation is that the animals were brought to Europe by way of Guinea, leading people to think they had originated there. \"Guinea\" was also frequently used in English to refer generally to any far-off, unknown country, so the name may simply be a colorful reference to the animal's exotic appeal. Another hypothesis suggests the \"guinea\" in the name is a corruption of \"Guiana\", an area in South America. A common misconception is that they were so named because they were sold for the price of a guinea coin; this hypothesis is untenable, because the guinea was first struck in England in 1663, and William Harvey used the term \"Ginny-pig\" as early as 1653. Others believe \"guinea\" may be an alteration of the word coney (rabbit); guinea pigs were referred to as \"pig coneys\" in Edward Topsell's 1607 treatise on quadrupeds.\n" "Traits and environment" "\nTwo parti-colored Abyssinian guinea pigs\n\nGuinea pigs are large for rodents, weighing between , and measuring between in length. Modern breeding of ''cuy'' guinea pigs has resulted in animals weighing . They typically live an average of four to five years, but may live as long as eight years. According to the 2006 ''Guinness World Records'', the longest living guinea pig survived 14\u00a0years, 10.5\u00a0months.\n\nIn the 1990s, a minority scientific opinion emerged proposing that caviomorphs, such as guinea pigs, chinchillas, and degus, are not rodents and should be reclassified as a separate order of mammals (similar to lagomorphs). Subsequent research using wider sampling has restored consensus among mammalian biologists that the current classification of rodents as monophyletic is justified.\n\n===Natural habitat===\n''C. porcellus'' is not found naturally in the wild; it is likely descended from some closely related species of cavies, such as ''C. aperea'', ''C. fulgida'', and ''C. tschudii'', which are still commonly found in various regions of South America. Some species of cavy identified in the 20th century, such as ''C. anolaimae'' and ''C. guianae'', may be domestic guinea pigs that have become feral by reintroduction into the wild. Wild cavies are found on grassy plains and occupy an ecological niche similar to that of cattle. They are social, living in the wild in small groups which consist of several females (sows), a male (boar), and the young (which in a break with the preceding porcine nomenclature are called pups). They move together in groups (herds) eating grass or other vegetation, and do not store food. While they do not burrow or build nests, they frequently seek shelter in the burrows of other animals, as well as in crevices and tunnels formed by vegetation. They tend to be most active during dawn and dusk, when it is harder for predators to spot them.\n\n===Domestic habitat===\nDomesticated guinea pigs thrive in groups of two or more; groups of sows, or groups of one or more sows and a neutered boar are common combinations. Guinea pigs learn to recognize and bond with other individual guinea pigs, and testing of boars shows their neuroendocrine stress response is significantly lowered in the presence of a bonded female when compared to the presence of unfamiliar females. Groups of boars may also get along, provided their cage has enough space, they are introduced at an early age, and no females are present. Domestic guinea pigs have developed a different biological rhythm from their wild counterparts, and have longer periods of activity followed by short periods of sleep in between. Activity is scattered randomly over the day; aside from avoidance of intense light, no regular circadian patterns are apparent.\n\nThis cat has accepted this pair of guinea pigs. The success of this type of interspecies interaction varies according to the individual animals involved.\n\nDomestic guinea pigs generally live in cages, although some owners of large numbers of guinea pigs dedicate entire rooms to their pets. Cages with solid or wire mesh floors are used, although wire mesh floors can cause injury and may be associated with an infection commonly known as bumblefoot (ulcerative pododermatitis). \"Cubes and Coroplast\" (or C&C) style cages are now a common choice. Cages are often lined with wood shavings or a similar material. Bedding made from red cedar (Eastern or Western) and pine, both softwoods, were commonly used in the past, but these materials are now believed to contain harmful phenols (aromatic hydrocarbons) and oils. Safer beddings made from hardwoods (such as aspen), paper products, and corn cob materials are other alternatives. Guinea pigs tend to be messy within their cages; they often jump into their food bowls or kick bedding and feces into them, and their urine sometimes crystallizes on cage surfaces, making it difficult to remove. After its cage has been cleaned, a guinea pig typically urinates and drags its lower body across the floor of the cage to mark its territory. Male guinea pigs may also mark their territory in this way when they are taken out of their cages.\n\nGuinea pigs do not generally thrive when housed with other species. Housing of guinea pigs with other rodents such as gerbils and hamsters may increase instances of respiratory and other infections, and such rodents may act aggressively toward the guinea pig. Larger animals may regard guinea pigs as prey, though some (such as dogs) can be trained to accept them. Opinion is divided over the cohousing of guinea pigs and domestic rabbits. Some published sources say that guinea pigs and rabbits complement each other well when sharing a cage. However, as lagomorphs, rabbits have different nutritional requirements, so the two species cannot be fed the same food. Rabbits may also harbor diseases (such as respiratory infections from ''Bordetella'' and ''Pasteurella''), to which guinea pigs are susceptible. Even the dwarf rabbit is much stronger than the guinea pig and may cause intentional or inadvertent injury.\n\n===Behavior===\nGuinea pigs can learn complex paths to food, and can accurately remember a learned path for months. Their strongest problem-solving strategy is motion. While guinea pigs can jump small obstacles, they are poor climbers, and are not particularly agile. They startle extremely easily, and either freeze in place for long periods or run for cover with rapid, darting motions when they sense danger. Larger groups of startled guinea pigs \"stampede\", running in haphazard directions as a means of confusing predators. When excited, guinea pigs may repeatedly perform little hops in the air (known as \"popcorning\"), a movement analogous to the ferret's war dance. They are also very good swimmers.\nGuinea pigs \"social groom\"\nLike many rodents, guinea pigs sometimes participate in social grooming, and they regularly self-groom. A milky-white substance is secreted from their eyes and rubbed into the hair during the grooming process. Groups of boars often chew each other's hair, but this is a method of establishing hierarchy within a group, rather than a social gesture. Dominance is also established through biting (especially of the ears), piloerection, aggressive noises, head thrusts, and leaping attacks. Non-sexual simulated mounting for dominance is also common among same-sex groups.\n\nGuinea pig sight is not as good as that of a human, but they have a wider angle of vision (about 340\u00b0) and see in partial color (dichromacy). They have well-developed senses of hearing, smell, and touch. Vocalization is the primary means of communication between members of the species. These are the most common sounds made by the guinea pig:\n*A \"wheek\" is a loud noise, the name of which is onomatopoeic, also known as a whistle. An expression of general excitement, it may occur in response to the presence of its owner or to feeding. It is sometimes used to find other guinea pigs if they are running. If a guinea pig is lost, it may wheek for assistance. \n*A bubbling or purring sound is made when the guinea pig is enjoying itself, such as when being petted or held. It may also make this sound when grooming, crawling around to investigate a new place, or when given food. \n*A rumbling sound is normally related to dominance within a group, though it can also come as a response to being scared or angry. In these cases, the rumble often sounds higher and the body vibrates shortly. While courting, a male usually purrs deeply, swaying and circling the female in a behavior called \"rumblestrutting\". A low rumble while walking away reluctantly shows passive resistance. \n*Chutting and whining are sounds made in pursuit situations, by the pursuer and pursuee, respectively. \n*A chattering sound is made by rapidly gnashing the teeth, and is generally a sign of warning. Guinea pigs tend to raise their heads when making this sound.\n*Squealing or shrieking is a high-pitched sound of discontent, in response to pain or danger. \n*Chirping, a less-common sound, likened to bird song, seems to be related to stress, or when a baby guinea pig wants to be fed. Very rarely, the chirping will last for several minutes. \n" "Breeding" "Pregnant sow one week before delivering three pups\n\nThe guinea pig is able to breed year-round, with birth peaks usually coming in the spring; as many as five litters can be produced per year. The gestation period lasts from 59\u201372 days, with an average of 63\u201368 days. Because of the long gestation period and the large size of the pups, pregnant females may become large and eggplant-shaped, although the change in size and shape varies. Unlike the offspring of most other rodents, which are altricial at birth, newborn pups are well-developed with hair, teeth, claws, and partial eyesight; they are immediately mobile, and begin eating solid food immediately, though they continue to suckle. Litters yield one to six pups, with an average of three; the largest recorded litter size is 17.\n\nIn smaller litters, difficulties may occur during labour due to oversized pups. Large litters result in higher incidences of stillbirth, but because the pups are delivered at an advanced stage of development, lack of access to the mother's milk has little effect on the mortality rate of newborns. Cohabitating females assist in mothering duties if lactating.\n\nGuinea pigs also practice alloparental care, in which a female may adopt the pup or pups of another. This might take place if the original parents die or are for some reason separated from them. This behavior is common, and is seen in many other animal species such as the elephant.\n\nMale and female guinea pigs do not differ in external appearance apart from general size. The position of the anus is very close to the genitals in both sexes. Female genitals are distinguished by a Y-shaped configuration formed from a vulvar flap, while the male genitals may look similar, with the penis and anus forming a like shape, the penis will protrude if pressure is applied to the surrounding hair. The male's testes may also be visible externally from scrotal swelling.\n\nGuinea pig pup at eight hours old\nMales reach sexual maturity at 3\u20135 weeks; females can be fertile as early as four weeks and can carry litters before they are adults. Females that have never given birth may develop irreversible fusing of the pubic symphysis, a joint in the pelvis, due to calcification which may occur between six and ten months of age. If they become pregnant after this has happened, the birth canal will not widen sufficiently; this may lead to dystocia and death as they attempt to give birth. Calcification of the female's pubic symphysis (if not bred) is a common myth. The reason for potential calcification is a metabolic disease, like ochronosis. A healthy, normal female guinea pig's pubic symphysis does not calcify.\nFemales can become pregnant 6\u201348 hours after giving birth, but it is not healthy for a female to be thus constantly pregnant.\n\nToxemia of pregnancy is common and kills many pregnant females. Signs of toxemia include anorexia, lack of energy, excessive salivation, a sweet or fruity breath odor due to ketones, and seizures in advanced cases. Pregnancy toxemia appears to be most common in hot climates. Other serious complications of pregnancy can include a prolapsed uterus, hypocalcaemia, and mastitis.\n" "Diet" "A silver agouti guinea pig eating grass\nA short-haired guinea pig eating a piece of apple\n\nGrass is the guinea pig's natural diet. Their molars are particularly suited for grinding plant matter, and grow continuously throughout the animal's life. Most grass-eating mammals are quite large and have a long digestive tract; while guinea pigs have much longer colons than most rodents, they must also supplement their diet by coprophagy, the eating of their own feces. However, they do not consume all their feces indiscriminately, but produce special soft pellets, called cecotropes, which recycle B vitamins, fiber, and bacteria required for proper digestion. The cecotropes (or caecal pellets) are eaten directly from the anus, unless the guinea pig is pregnant or obese. They share this behaviour with rabbits. In geriatric boars or sows (the condition is rarer in young ones), the muscles which allow the softer pellets to be expelled from the anus for consumption can become weak. This creates a condition known as anal impaction, which prevents the boar from redigesting cecotropes, though harder pellets may pass through the impacted mass. The condition may be temporarily alleviated by carefully expelling the impacted feces.\n\nGuinea pigs benefit from feeding on fresh grass hay, such as timothy hay, in addition to food pellets which are often based from timothy. Alfalfa is also a popular food choice; most guinea pigs will eat large amounts of alfalfa when offered it, though some controversy exists over the feeding of alfalfa to adult guinea pigs. Some pet owners and veterinary organizations have advised that, as a legume rather than a grass hay, alfalfa consumed in large amounts may lead to obesity, as well as bladder stones due to excess calcium, in any but pregnant and very young guinea pigs. However, published scientific sources mention alfalfa as a source for replenishment of protein, amino acids, and fiber.\n\nLike humans, but unlike most other mammals, guinea pigs cannot synthesize their own vitamin C and must obtain this vital nutrient from food. If guinea pigs do not ingest enough vitamin C, they can suffer from potentially fatal scurvy. Guinea pigs require about 10\u00a0mg of vitamin C daily (20\u00a0mg if pregnant), which can be obtained through fresh, raw fruits and vegetables (such as broccoli, apple, cabbage, carrot, celery, and spinach) or through dietary supplements. Healthy diets for guinea pigs require a complex balance of calcium, magnesium, phosphorus, potassium, and hydrogen ions; adequate amounts of vitamins E, A, and D are also necessary. Imbalanced diets have been associated with muscular dystrophy, metastatic calcification, difficulties with pregnancy, vitamin deficiencies, and teeth problems. Guinea pigs tend to be fickle eaters when it comes to fresh fruits and vegetables, having learned early in life what is and is not appropriate to consume, and their habits are difficult to change after maturity. They do not respond well to sudden changes in diet; they may stop eating and starve rather than accept new food types. A constant supply of hay or other food is generally recommended, as guinea pigs feed continuously and may develop habits such as chewing on their own hair if food is not present. Because guinea pigs' teeth grow constantly, they routinely gnaw, lest their teeth become too large for their mouths, a common problem in rodents. Guinea pigs also chew on cloth, paper, plastic, and rubber.\n\nA number of plants are poisonous to guinea pigs, including bracken, bryony, buttercup, charlock, deadly nightshade, foxglove, hellebore, hemlock, lily of the valley, mayweed, monkshood, privet, ragwort, rhubarb, speedwell, toadflax (both ''Linaria vulgaris'' and ''Linaria dalmatica''), and wild celery. Additionally, any plant which grows from a bulb (e.g., tulip or onion) is normally considered poisonous, as well as ivy and oak tree leaves.\n" "Health" "A parti-colored guinea pig suffering from torticollis, or wry neck\n\nCommon ailments in domestic guinea pigs include respiratory tract infections, diarrhea, scurvy (vitamin C deficiency, typically characterized by sluggishness), abscesses due to infection (often in the neck, due to hay embedded in the throat, or from external scratches), and infections by lice, mites, or fungus.\n\nMange mites (''Trixacarus caviae'') are a common cause of hair loss, and other symptoms may also include excessive scratching, unusually aggressive behavior when touched (due to pain), and, in some instances, seizures. Guinea pigs may also suffer from \"running lice\" (''Gliricola porcelli''), a small, white insect which can be seen moving through the hair; their eggs, which appear as black or white specks attached to the hair, are sometimes referred to as \"static lice\". Other causes of hair loss can be due to hormonal upsets caused by underlying medical conditions such as ovarian cysts.\n\nForeign bodies, especially small pieces of hay or straw, can become lodged in the eyes of guinea pigs, resulting in excessive blinking, tearing, and in some cases an opaque film over the eye due to corneal ulcer. Hay or straw dust can also cause sneezing. While it is normal for guinea pigs to sneeze periodically, frequent sneezing may be a symptom of pneumonia, especially in response to atmospheric changes. Pneumonia may also be accompanied by torticollis and can be fatal.\n\nBecause the guinea pig has a stout, compact body, it more easily tolerates excessive cold than excessive heat. Its normal body temperature is , so its ideal ambient air temperature range is similar to a human's, about . Consistent ambient temperatures in excess of have been linked to hyperthermia and death, especially among pregnant sows. Guinea pigs are not well suited to environments that feature wind or frequent drafts, and respond poorly to extremes of humidity outside of the range of 30\u201370%.\n\nGuinea pigs are prey animals whose survival instinct is to mask pain and signs of illness, and many times health problems may not be apparent until a condition is severe or in its advanced stages. Treatment of disease is made more difficult by the extreme sensitivity guinea pigs have to most antibiotics, including penicillin, which kill off the intestinal flora and quickly bring on episodes of diarrhea and in some cases, death.\n\nSimilar to the inherited genetic diseases of other breeds of animal (such as hip dysplasia in canines), a number of genetic abnormalities of guinea pigs have been reported. Most commonly, the roan coloration of Abyssinian guinea pigs is associated with congenital eye disorders and problems with the digestive system. Other genetic disorders include \"waltzing disease\" (deafness coupled with a tendency to run in circles), palsy, and tremor conditions.\n" "Pets" "\n\n===Handling, temperament and socialization===\nSnapple cap references a Guinea Pig law in Switzerland\nIf handled correctly early in life, guinea pigs become amenable to being picked up and carried, and seldom bite or scratch. They are timid explorers and often hesitate to attempt an escape from their cage even when an opportunity presents itself. Still, they show considerable curiosity when allowed to walk freely, especially in familiar and safe terrain. Guinea pigs that become familiar with their owner will whistle on the owner's approach; they will also learn to whistle in response to the rustling of plastic bags or the opening of refrigerator doors, where their food is most commonly stored. In Switzerland, owning a single guinea pig is considered harmful to its well-being and forbidden by law.\n\n===Appearance, coat and grooming===\nBlack-haired Silkie Guinea pig\nDomesticated guinea pigs occur in many breeds, which have been developed since their introduction to Europe and North America. These varieties vary in hair and color composition. The most common varieties found in pet stores are the English shorthair (also known as the American), which have a short, smooth coat, and the Abyssinian, whose coat is ruffled with cowlicks, or rosettes. Also popular among breeders are the Peruvian and the Sheltie (or Silkie), both straight longhair breeds, and the Texel, a curly longhair. Grooming of guinea pigs is primarily accomplished using combs or brushes. Shorthair breeds are typically brushed weekly, while longhair breeds may require daily grooming.\n\n===Clubs and associations===\nCavy clubs and associations dedicated to the showing and breeding of guinea pigs have been established worldwide. The American Cavy Breeders Association, an adjunct to the American Rabbit Breeders' Association, is the governing body in the United States and Canada. The British Cavy Council governs cavy clubs in the United Kingdom. Similar organizations exist in Australia (Australian National Cavy Council) and New Zealand (New Zealand Cavy Council). Each club publishes its own standard of perfection and determines which breeds are eligible for showing.\n\n===Allergies to pet guinea pigs===\nAllergic symptoms, including rhinitis, conjunctivitis, and asthma, have been documented in laboratory animal workers who come into contact with guinea pigs. Allergic reactions following direct exposure to guinea pigs in domestic settings have also been reported. Two major guinea pig allergens, Cav p I and Cav p II, have been identified in guinea pig fluids (urine and saliva) and guinea pig dander. People who are allergic to guinea pigs are usually allergic to hamsters and gerbils, as well. Allergy shots can successfully treat an allergy to guinea pigs, although treatment can take up to 18 months.\n" "Cultural and media influence" "A lilac, orange, and white Satin Peruvian guinea pig (show-length coat)\nAs a result of their widespread popularity, especially in households with children, guinea pigs have shown a presence in culture and media. Some noted appearances of the animal in literature include the short story \"Pigs Is Pigs\" by Ellis Parker Butler, which is a tale of bureaucratic incompetence. Two guinea pigs held at a railway station breed unchecked while humans argue as to whether they are \"pigs\" or \"pets\" for the purpose of determining freight charges. Butler's story, in turn, inspired the ''Star Trek: The Original Series'' episode \"The Trouble With Tribbles\", written by David Gerrold. In the Golden Hamster Saga books, two guinea pigs named Enrico and Caruso are modern-day thespians (named after Enrico Caruso) who serve as secondary characters, and often irritate the main character, Freddy Auratus, who strongly dislikes their acting antics.\n\n===In children's literature===\n''The Fairy Caravan'', a novel by Beatrix Potter, and Michael Bond's Olga da Polga series for children, both feature guinea pigs as the protagonist. Another appearance is in ''The Magician's Nephew'' by C. S. Lewis: in the first (chronologically) of his ''The Chronicles of Narnia'' series, a guinea pig is the first creature to travel to the Wood between the Worlds. In Ursula Dubosarsky's ''Maisie and the Pinny Gig'', a little girl has a recurrent dream about a giant guinea pig, while guinea pigs feature significantly in several of Dubosarsky's other books, including the young adult novel ''The White Guinea Pig'' and ''The Game of the Goose''.\n\n===In film and television===\nGuinea pigs have also been featured in film and television. In the TV movie ''Shredderman Rules'', the main character and the main character's crush both have guinea pigs which play a minor part in the plot. A guinea pig named Rodney, voiced by Chris Rock, was a prominent character in the 1998 film ''Dr. Dolittle'', and Linny the Guinea pig is a co-star on Nick Jr.'s ''Wonder Pets''. Guinea pigs were used in some major advertising campaigns in the 1990s and 2000s, notably for Egg Banking plc, Snapple, and Blockbuster Video. The Blockbuster campaign is considered by some guinea pig advocates to have been a factor in the rise of caging guinea pigs and rabbits together. In the ''South Park'' season 12 episode \"Pandemic 2: The Startling\", giant guinea pigs dressed in costumes rampage over the Earth. The 2009 Walt Disney Pictures movie ''G-Force'' features a group of highly intelligent guinea pigs trained as operatives of the U.S. government. A video game based on the movie was also released. A guinea pig named Bugsy appears in the 2008 film ''Bedtime Stories''. A guinea pig named Cashew features prominently in the second season of the U.S. adaptation of ''House of Cards''.\n" "Scientific research" "A guinea pig being examined by a veterinary medical officer for general health and pulmonary condition\n\nThe use of guinea pigs in scientific experimentation dates back at least to the 17th century, when the Italian biologists Marcello Malpighi and Carlo Fracassati conducted vivisections of guinea pigs in their examinations of anatomic structures. In 1780, Antoine Lavoisier used a guinea pig in his experiments with the calorimeter, a device used to measure heat production. The heat from the guinea pig's respiration melted snow surrounding the calorimeter, showing that respiratory gas exchange is a combustion, similar to a candle burning. Guinea pigs played a major role in the establishment of germ theory in the late 19th century, through the experiments of Louis Pasteur, \u00c9mile Roux, and Robert Koch. Guinea pigs have been launched into orbital space flight several times, first by the USSR on the Sputnik 9 biosatellite of March 9, 1961 \u2013 with a successful recovery. China also launched and recovered a biosatellite in 1990 which included guinea pigs as passengers.\n\nIn English, the term 'guinea pig' is commonly used as a metaphor for a subject of scientific experimentation, or any experiment or test in modern times. This dates back to the early 20th century; the Oxford English Dictionary notes its first usage in this capacity in 1913. In 1933, Consumers Research founders F. J. Schlink and Arthur Kallet wrote a book entitled ''100,000,000 Guinea Pigs'', extending the metaphor to consumer society. The book became a national bestseller in the United States, thus further popularizing the term, and spurred the growth of the consumer protection movement. The negative connotation of the term was later employed in the novel ''The Guinea Pigs'' by Czech author Ludv\u00edk Vacul\u00edk as an allegory for Soviet totalitarianism.\nGuinea pigs were popular laboratory animals until the later 20th century; about 2.5 million guinea pigs were used annually in the U.S. for research in the 1960s, but that total decreased to about 375,000 by the mid-1990s. As of 2007, they constitute about 2% of the current total of laboratory animals. In the past, they were widely used to standardize vaccines and antiviral agents; they were also often employed in studies on the production of antibodies in response to extreme allergic reactions, or anaphylaxis. Less common uses included research in pharmacology and irradiation. Since the middle 20th century, they have been replaced in laboratory contexts primarily by mice and rats. This is in part because research into the genetics of guinea pigs has lagged behind that of other rodents, although geneticists W. E. Castle and Sewall Wright made a number of contributions to this area of study, especially regarding coat color. In 2004, the U.S.'s National Human Genome Research Institute announced plans to sequence the genome of the domestic guinea pig.\n\nThe guinea pig was most extensively implemented in research and diagnosis of infectious diseases. Common uses included identification of brucellosis, Chagas disease, cholera, diphtheria, foot-and-mouth disease, glanders, Q fever, Rocky Mountain spotted fever, and various strains of typhus. They are still frequently used to diagnose tuberculosis, since they are easily infected by human tuberculosis bacteria. Because guinea pigs are one of the few animals which, like humans and other primates, cannot synthesize vitamin C, but must obtain it from their diet, they are ideal for researching scurvy. From the accidental discovery in 1907 that scurvy could be induced in guinea pigs, to their use to prove the chemical structure of the \"ascorbutic factor\" in 1932, the guinea pig model proved a crucial part of vitamin C research.\n\nComplement, an important component for serology, was first isolated from the blood of the guinea pig. Guinea pigs have an unusual insulin mutation, and are a suitable species for the generation of anti-insulin antibodies. Present at a level 10 times that found in other mammals, the insulin in guinea pigs may be important in growth regulation, a role usually played by growth hormone. Additionally, guinea pigs have been identified as model organisms for the study of juvenile diabetes and, because of the frequency of pregnancy toxemia, of pre-eclampsia in human females. Their placental structure is similar to that of humans, and their gestation period can be divided into trimesters that resemble the stages of fetal development in humans.\n\nGuinea pig strains used in scientific research are primarily outbred strains. Aside from the common American or English stock, the two main outbred strains in laboratory use are the Hartley and Dunkin-Hartley; these English strains are albino, although pigmented strains are also available. Inbred strains are less common and are usually used for very specific research, such as immune system molecular biology. Of the inbred strains that have been created, the two still used with any frequency are, following Sewall Wright's designations, \"Strain 2\" and \"Strain 13\".\n\nHairless breeds of guinea pigs have been used in scientific research since the 1980s, particularly for dermatological studies. A hairless and immunodeficient breed was the result of a spontaneous genetic mutation in inbred laboratory strains from the Hartley stock at the Eastman Kodak Company in 1979. An immunocompetent hairless breed was also identified by the Institute Armand Frappier in 1978, and Charles River Laboratories has reproduced this breed for research since 1982. Cavy fanciers then began acquiring hairless breeds, and the pet hairless varieties are referred to as \"skinny pigs\".\n" "As food" "\nTraditional preparation of a grilled cuy in Quito, Ecuador.\nDish from Ecuador called ''cuy''\n''Cuy'' being raised at home in the traditional Andean fashion\n\n===South America===\nGuinea pigs (called ''cuy'', ''cuye'', or ''cur\u00ed'') were originally domesticated for their meat in the Andes. Traditionally, the animal was reserved for ceremonial meals by indigenous people in the Andean highlands, but since the 1960s, it has become more socially acceptable for consumption by all people. It continues to be a major part of the diet in Peru and Bolivia, particularly in the Andes Mountains highlands; it is also eaten in some areas of Ecuador (mainly in the Sierra) and Colombia. Because guinea pigs require much less room than traditional livestock and reproduce extremely quickly, they are a more profitable source of food and income than many traditional stock animals, such as pigs and cattle; moreover, they can be raised in an urban environment. Both rural and urban families raise guinea pigs for supplementary income, and the animals are commonly bought and sold at local markets and large-scale municipal fairs.\nGuinea pig meat is high in protein and low in fat and cholesterol, and is described as being similar to rabbit and the dark meat of chicken. The animal may be served fried (''chactado'' or ''frito''), broiled (''asado''), or roasted (''al horno''), and in urban restaurants may also be served in a casserole or a fricassee. Ecuadorians commonly consume ''sopa'' or ''locro de cuy'', a soup dish. ''Pachamanca'' or ''huatia'', a process similar to barbecueing, is also popular, and is usually served with corn beer (''chicha'') in traditional settings.\n\nPeruvians consume an estimated 65 million guinea pigs each year, and the animal is so entrenched in the culture that one famous painting of the Last Supper in the main cathedral in Cusco shows Christ and the 12 disciples dining on guinea pig. The animal remains an important aspect of certain religious events in both rural and urban areas of Peru. A religious celebration known as ''jaca tsariy'' (\"collecting the cuys\") is a major festival in many villages in the Antonio Raimondi province of eastern Peru, and is celebrated in smaller ceremonies in Lima. It is a syncretistic event, combining elements of Catholicism and pre-Columbian religious practices, and revolves around the celebration of local patron saints. The exact form the ''jaca tsariy'' takes differs from town to town; in some localities, a ''sirvinti'' (servant) is appointed to go from door to door, collecting donations of guinea pigs, while in others, guinea pigs may be brought to a communal area to be released in a mock bullfight. Meals such as ''cuy chactado'' are always served as part of these festivities, and the killing and serving of the animal is framed by some communities as a symbolic satire of local politicians or important figures. In the Tungurahua and Cotopaxi provinces of central Ecuador, guinea pigs are employed in the celebrations surrounding the feast of Corpus Christi as part of the ''Ensayo'', which is a community meal, and the ''Octava'', where ''castillos'' (greased poles) are erected with prizes tied to the crossbars, from which several guinea pigs may be hung. The Peruvian town of Churin has an annual festival which involves dressing guinea pigs in elaborate costumes for a competition.\n\nAndean immigrants in New York City raise and sell guinea pigs for meat, and some ethnic restaurants in major United States cities serve ''cuy'' as a delicacy. Peruvian research universities, especially La Molina National Agrarian University, began experimental programs in the 1960s with the intention of breeding larger-sized guinea pigs. Subsequent university efforts have sought to change breeding and husbandry procedures in South America, to make the raising of guinea pigs as livestock more economically sustainable. In the 1990s and 2000s, the university began exporting the larger breed guinea pigs to Europe, Japan, and the United States in the hope of increasing human consumption outside of these countries in northern South America.\n\n===Sub-Saharan Africa===\nMany efforts have also been made to promote guinea pig husbandry in developing countries of West Africa, where they occur more widely than generally known because they are usually not covered by livestock statistics. However, it has not been known when and where the animals have been introduced to Africa. In Cameroon, they are widely distributed. In the Democratic Republic of the Congo, they can be found both in peri-urban environments as well as in rural regions, for example, in South Kivu. They are also frequently held in rural households in Iringa Region of southwestern Tanzania.\n" "See also" "\n*Kurloff cells\n*Peter Gurney\n*Save the Newchurch Guinea Pigs\n\n" "References" "\n" "Sources" "\n*\n*\n*\n*\n*\n" "External links" "\n\n\n\n* ACBA \u2013 American Cavy Breeders' Association\n* Domestic Guinea Pig Genome\n*View the guinea pig genome on Ensembl\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n"

The film was remade in Bengali under the title ''Bolo Na Tumi Aamar'' starring Dev and Koel Mallick and in Oriya under the title ''Loafer'' starring Babushaan and Archita Sahu. The movie was dubbed into Hindi as Dum.\n" "Story" "Madhumati (Genelia D'Souza) is the daughter of a politician who turns out to be a martinet at home with his attachment on power. He believes that the behavior of his daughter would influence his caste politics, so he tries to keep her from continuing her MBBS as she goes to college and moves with friends of different mentalities. However, Madhumathi, comes to third year of medicine by maintaining her dignity and without involving in any affairs of love. Her focus is completely on studies. Once, she goes for a medical camp along with her class mates to Araku Valley. She meets Bunny (Allu Arjun) randomly in the woods nearby the medical camp. The story starts with his funny and playful encounters with Madhumathi.\n\nBunny comes to Hyderabad and joins in a pizza shop as a delivery boy and continues his MBA by attending evening classes.\n\nIn an incident, Madhumathi\u2019s father thinks that his daughter is dating someone and comes to believe that its none other than Bunny. He decides to get her married to a person of his own caste who settled in a top position: Manoj Bajpai, the deputy commissioner of police.\n\nMadhumati is more attached to her studies than marriage. She goes to Bunny and places the blame on him saying that he would be the reason for her suicide should she be forcibly married. Knowing that, Bunny plans to stop the marriage and meets the DCP. Bunny lies to him and convinces the DCP that he is in love with Madhumathi. But Bunny gets caught in his own white lie. Manoj Bajpai believes Bunny\u2019s words and gets him married to Madhumathi in a registered marriage. He also gives his new flat for the couple to live in.\n\nMadhumathi becomes estranged from her family and, in another series of events, ends up living with Bunny (or rather Bunny ends up living with her).

"Hare-Way to the Stars" "Introduction" "\n\n'''''Hare-Way to the Stars''''' is a 1958 Warner Bros. ''Looney Tunes'' theatrical cartoon short, starring Bugs Bunny, and released on March 29, 1958. The title is a play on the song \"Stairway to the Stars\".\n" "Plot" "The cartoon starts when Bugs Bunny, feeling the effects of mixing radish juice with carrot juice the night before, unknowingly climbs out of his hole and into a rocket ship that is about to be launched into space. He realizes what has happened once he screws open the tip of the ship, and is immediately hit by the satellite Sputnik and lands on what appears to be a space station. While there, Bugs meets Marvin the Martian who is trying to blow up earth with the Illudium Q-36 Explosive Space Modulator (in reality a stick of dynamite, it is also the same device he tried to use in his debut short ''Haredevil Hare'', though that Space Modulator was Uranium rather than Illudium) because \"it obstructs his view of Venus\".\n\nBugs quietly steals Marvin's explosive and after hearing no explosion, Marvin says one of his trademark lines \"''Where's the kaboom? There was supposed to be an earth-shattering kaboom!''\". Marvin then discovers that the explosive has been stolen by \"''That creature''\" and uses different tricks to try to catch Bugs and get the explosive back, including using \u2018just add water' Instant Martians (who somewhat resemble the Martians of ''A Martian Odyssey'') to chase Bugs around the space station and catch him. Bugs tricks the Instant Martians into flying off the road and falling through a trap door. Bugs then steals one of the Martian's spaceships, and while flying by, swaps the explosive he stole from Marvin for the bottle of Instant Martians. The explosive is lit, and soon explodes in Marvin's hand (destroying his space station in the process) before Marvin can finish saying its name. Marvin concedes that it is \"back to the old drawing board\" while Bugs is flying back to Earth. When Bugs arrives at Earth, he crashes into a construction site warning sign and finds himself and the bottle of Martians falling into the sewer. The Martians begin to grow as Bugs climbs out of the sewer, frantically replaces the manhole cover and warns the audience to \"''Run for the hills folks, or you'll be up to your armpits in Martians!''\" before taking his own advice as the ground shakes with the invaders underneath.\n" "Cast" "Mel Blanc as Bugs Bunny, Marvin The Martian and Countdown Voice\n" "Availability" "The cartoon was featured on the ''Looney Tunes Platinum Collection: Volume 1'' Blu-ray box set (released November 15, 2011) with the cartoon restored and in high definition. This cartoon was also made part of the feature film ''The Bugs Bunny/Road Runner Movie'' (sometimes known as ''The Great American Chase''), and Bugs even remarked that \"''old Chuck seemed detoimined to get poor little old me into outer space, too!''\".\n" "Notes" "*The \"Instant Martians\" resemble the alien from Jupiter in the Porky Pig cartoon ''Jumpin' Jupiter'' from three years earlier.\n*This cartoon was featured in the 1979 animated film ''The Bugs Bunny/Road Runner Movie'', which included a 30-second ''Star Wars'' opening crawl parody that reads: \"A long long long long long long long long long long time ago....

"Harlequin rabbit" "Introduction" "Black Harlequin and black Magpie\nBlack Harlequin\nThe '''Harlequin''' is a colourful breed of rabbit originating from France. It is a breed based around the coloration and markings, rather than fur and body type. The ideal weight of a standard Harlequin is 6.5-8\u00a0lb (2\u20133\u00a0kg).\n\nThe traditional Harlequin is part black or some other colour (no silvering) and part white or orange (the brighter the better). It should have an even mix of both colours and ideally have a half-and-half colouration on the head. Their colouration (not the name of the breed)may also be called ''magpie'' where the second colour is white rather than orange. The recognized colour patterns are (mixed with orange):\n*Black\n*Blue\n*Chocolate (brown)\n*Lilac\n\nThe magpie variants are, naturally:\n*Black\n*Blue\n*Chocolate (brown)\n*Lilac\n\nIt is recognized by both the British Rabbit Council and American Rabbit Breeders' Association.\n\nThe Harlequin rabbit is playful, docile, and intelligent. Like most breeds the rabbit can respond to its own name and even be litter box trained. They are gentle, but like all other rabbits, are high maintenance. Rabbits are exotic and require consistent care by responsible and financially capable individuals.\n\nHarlequin rabbits come in two types: Japanese and Magpie. Japanese Harlequins are generally orange and either black, blue, chocolate, or lilac, while Magpie Harlequins are white (instead of orange) and either black, blue, chocolate, or lilac. A \"perfect\" Harlequin will be split between the two colors on the head, ears, feet, and body. It kind of looks like a perfect stripe between the two colors. Some Harlequins will have orange or white bellies.\n\nThe current American Rabbit Breeders Association (ARBA) Standard of Perfection calls for a 3 part frontal alternation. The ears are two different colors. The face splits into two colors, which alternate with the ears. The chest and front legs split into two colors, which alternate with the face and match the ears. The hind feet should alternate with the front feet. The body markings are either bars, bands, or a combination of the two. The animal may be disqualified if it doesn't have certain markings on its face etc.\n\nSome experts say that \"Harlequin\" is not a breed of rabbit, but just a color type. Others argue that it is a breed of rabbit with that color scheme. This is debatable. The Harlequin markings do occur in other breeds, but the ARBA does not recognize it as showable in other breeds besides the Harlequin breed.\n\nIt was developed from semi-wild Tortoiseshell Dutch rabbits. Originally it looked like a badly marked Dutch rabbit. The Harlequin was first exhibited in Paris in 1887. They were then imported into England a few years later. Harlequins were used for meat during World War 2. Harlequins are nicknamed the clown of the rabbits and the royal jester because of the color separations and markings.\n\nThe average life span for the Harlequin rabbit is 5 years or more.\n\nThe bucks usually weigh 6.5 to 9 pounds and the does weigh 7 to 9.5 pounds.\n" "See also" "\n\n*List of rabbit breeds\n" "References" "\n" "External links" "* Harlequin Rabbit Breed History\n* Rabbit Breeds Chart + Information\n\n\n\n"
"High Diving Hare" "Introduction" "\n'''''High Diving Hare''''' is a 1948-produced Warner Brothers ''Looney Tunes'' (reissued as a Blue Ribbon Merrie Melodie in the beginning, with the original Looney Tunes ending title sequence.) theatrical cartoon short starring Bugs Bunny and Yosemite Sam. Released to theaters on April 30, 1949, the short is an expansion of a gag from ''Stage Door Cartoon'', which was also directed by Friz Freleng. ''High Diving Hare'' can be seen in the third act of ''The Looney Looney Looney Bugs Bunny Movie''.\n" "Synopsis" "Bugs Bunny is drumming up business for a vaudeville show in a remote western town (notably one of the posters in the background is for \"Frizby the Magician\", a reference to director Friz Freleng). One of the main attractions is \"''Fearless Freep''\" and his high-dive act. As soon as Yosemite Sam hears the name \"''Fearless Freep''\", he goes into a joyful frenzy, buying as many tickets as he can. (\"I'm a-splurgin'!\")\n\nDuring the show, as Bugs is about to introduce Freep, he gets a telegram informing him that Freep is delayed by a storm and won't be able to appear until tomorrow. An angered Sam insists on seeing the high-diving act and forces Bugs at gunpoint to the top of a high-dive platform. But Bugs manages to pull out all his tricks and stops, and it is Sam who does all the diving, in a different comical setting nine separate times (in a variant of the diving act from \"Stage Door Cartoon\").\n\n1: Sam pushes Bugs to the edge of the platform (with Bugs baring his claws to secure himself to the board). Bugs tells Sam to cover his eyes while he puts on his bathing suit, and then proceeds to spin the board around so that Sam is at the diving edge. Bugs makes it look like he's taken the dive (accompanied with an audible \"SPLASH\"), while Sam turns around and starts to walk off, right off the edge and into the tank, which falls apart with the water still intact after the hoops break off the tank when he crashes in.\n\n2: Bugs springs on the board so hard that he sends Sam up, over his head and down (separating Sam from his pistols in the process). Bugs then realizes that he forgot to fill the tank with water, so he grabs a bucket of water and throws it down from the diving board past Sam. The water makes it into the tank, but Sam misses the tank altogether, smashing through the stage into the basement.\n\n3: Sam walks to the end of the board and finds Bugs standing on the board upside-down (\"Great horny toads! What are ya doin' down there upside-downy?\"). Bugs points out that it is actually ''Sam'' who is upside-down (\"I'm not upside down, doc. You are! Look!\"). Sam looks \"up\", sees the tank, and falls into it.\n\n4: Having been verbally hit with \"fightin' words\", Bugs dares Sam to \"step over this line\" (in a gag similar to one from Bugs Bunny Rides Again), sending Sam down for the splash again (but not before springing back up for a moment to declare: \"I hate you!\")\n\n5: Sam is stopped by a door, and yells \"Open up that door!\" then turns to the audience and says: \"You notice I didn't say Richard?\". He backs up and charges towards the door, which Bugs opens at the last moment, leading Sam to another splash, this time assisted by an anvil given to him by Bugs.\n\n6: Bugs, dressed as an Indian, points Sam to a \"short-cut\" in a desert-like setting (\"Quick! Him go that way! You take-em short cut! Head him off at pass!\"). Sam thanks the \"Indian\" and takes the route, leading to yet another dive.\n\nAfter two more dives in which the setups are unseen, Sam finally has Bugs tied and standing on the edge of the platform, with Sam sawing away at the board, gloating: \"Now ya smarty-pants, let's see ya get out-in this one! This time, you're a-diving!\" However, as soon as Sam cuts through the board, it's the ladder and platform that falls, leaving the cut plank suspended in mid-air. Bugs turns to the camera and cracks: \"I know this defies the law of gravity, but, you see, I never \"studied\" law!\"\n" "Cast" "\u2022 Mel Blanc as Bugs Bunny, Yosemite Sam and Telegram Boy\n" "Notes" "Available on Looney Tunes Golden Collection: Volume 1, Disc 1, as a low-pitched, Blue Ribbon opening.\n" "Critical reception" "In a commentary by Greg Ford, it is described as \"arguable the best of all\" Bugs and Sam confrontations.

"Honey, I Blew Up the Kid" "Introduction" "\n\n'''''Honey, I Blew Up the Kid''''' is a 1992 American comedy science fiction film and the sequel to the 1989 film ''Honey, I Shrunk the Kids''. Directed by Randal Kleiser and released by Walt Disney Pictures, the film stars Rick Moranis, Marcia Strassman, Robert Oliveri and Amy O'Neill, who reprise their roles as Wayne, Diane, Nick, and Amy Szalinski respectively, as well as newcomer Keri Russell as Mandy Park, Nick's love interest and babysitter of Adam, the Szalinskis' new two-year-old son, whose accidental exposure to Wayne's new industrial-sized growth machine causes him to gradually grow to enormous size. Made only three years after ''Honey, I Shrunk the Kids'', this film is set five years after the events depicted in the previous film. It was filmed in 1990.\n\nThe antagonist to the Szalinskis is Dr. Charles Hendrickson (John Shea), who wants the giant Adam stopped at all costs and would like to take over Wayne's invention that is now owned by the major corporation they work for, which is in turn owned by the kind Clifford Sterling (Lloyd Bridges).\n\nThis film would be followed by one last sequel in 1997, this time a direct-to-video film, ''Honey, We Shrunk Ourselves''. A TV show would also follow the film in 1997, called ''Honey, I Shrunk the Kids''.\n" "Plot" "\n\nIn the years since Wayne Szalinski (Rick Moranis) shrunk his kids, he and his family have moved to Nevada and have welcomed another child into the family, 2-ish-year-old Adam (Daniel & Joshua Shalikar). His wife, Diane, (Marcia Strassman), is helping their daughter, Amy (Amy O'Neill) get settled in at college, for which she is departing. As she is gone, Wayne is supposed to look after Adam and their high school son, Nick (Robert Oliveri).\n\nNick has an interest in guitars and has a liking for a girl he meets at his job, Mandy Park (Keri Russell), although she does not feel the same way about him. Wayne takes Adam and Nick to his job at Sterling Labs, where he is the head of a project, even though Dr. Charles Hendrickson (John Shea) is trying to take over for the position. Wayne begins to experiment with an idea on a machine that can make objects grow. He uses Adam's toy, Big Bunny, as the test subject. As a power surge distracts both Wayne and Nick, Adam gets out of his stroller, gets in the way of the machine, and is zapped. Suddenly, the machine breaks. Dismayed, Wayne and his sons go home. Deciding to spend some time with Nick, Wayne calls in Mandy to babysit Adam.\n\nLater on, Adam begins to grow via electric waves from the microwave where Wayne is trying to make some lunch for him. Wayne and Nick try to take him back to the lab, but are stopped by Hendrickson. Diane comes back home and is shocked to find her son tall. She and Wayne drive to a warehouse to find his original shrink ray to shrink Adam back to normal size. While Nick watches him at the house, Mandy comes by and faints after seeing Adam. Having no choice, Nick then has her bound to a chair and gagged, to prevent her from running away and screaming. He unties and ungags her, only to find that Mandy goes hysterical, so he ties her up and gags her again. After Nick explains to her what happened and she finally calms down, Adam is then exposed to the television set, breaks through the walls of the house, and is loose on the streets, now tall. Nick then unties Mandy and convinces her to help him, promising that he'll pay her overtime. Mandy agrees, and the two go looking for Adam.\n\nAt the warehouse, Wayne and Diane search for the shrink ray through tons of crates. They finally find it and leave to return home; However, Hendrickson finds out about the \"big baby\" and reports it to his boss, Clifford Sterling (Lloyd Bridges). He then gets several law enforcers to put Adam in a truck after finding him and taking Nick and Mandy into custody. Wayne and Diane return home with the shrink ray, only to find the boys gone and facing legal action from Hendrickson, who wants them arrested on the charges of theft, malicious mischief, and child endangerment. Hendrickson also intends that the authorities get Adam to be put to immediate testing, much to Wayne's anger. In the meantime, Adam accidentally breaks free from the truck when he grows to tall due to high voltage lines the truck passes. Meanwhile, Sterling arrives to discuss the situation, and Wayne admits that he may be a flawed inventor but at least a good person, stating that all good inventors make mistakes all the time, and that he is willing to clean the mess up. Sterling agrees with him and gives his support to Wayne and Diane to shrink Adam back to normal size, but not before firing Hendrickson. Wayne suddenly discovers that Adam grows while he is near electricity, and Marshall Brooks tells him that Adam is headed straight for Las Vegas. After finding him, Nick and Mandy are mistaken for toys and he puts them in his pocket.\n\nIn the meantime, Hendrickson, angry at Sterling for dismissing him, gets one of Sterling Labs's board members to authorize an airstrike with the Nevada State Military with the usage of tranquilizer cartridges. Hendrickson manages to get the clearance for the strike from the board, despite the pilot's strong objections. Now tall, Adam begins roaming the streets of Las Vegas. The citizens and visitors are stunned to see the gigantic baby in a Godzillaesqe manner, but he seems to think that the likes of \"Vegas Vic\" and all the neon lights are some kind of playground for him. Wayne and Diane arrive in time with Sterling, but there is still a problem; Adam needs to stand still for twelve seconds for the shrink ray to work. In an effort to keep him away from the lights, Wayne gets Brooks to drive an ice cream truck to lure Adam out of Las Vegas and back to Vista Del Mar while Sterling gets all the casino lights to be turned off to ensure that the plan goes smoothly. The plan is a success, and Diane convinces Wayne to enlarge her with the shrink ray, stating that although Adam will listen to his parents, as he 'knows' that his mother is larger than him and will not register her at his current size. \n\nIn Las Vegas, Adam has approached a Hard Rock Cafe and rips off the guitar from its sign, hoping to play with it. Hendrickson arrives in the helicopter and proceeds to shoot him with tranquilizer cartridges. The first shot misses him (due to the pilot's intentional maneuver), but the second hits the guitar, giving Adam a painful electrocuting shock, forcing him to throw the guitar into the pavement before crying in pain. The once-panicked crowd below watches in sympathy for Adam's pain, realizing that he was not a menace, but merely an innocent baby. Before Hendrickson has a chance to fire again, Diane (now enlarged) grabs the helicopter and demands Hendrickson and the pilot to back off. As Diane holds him still, Wayne and Sterling shrink both of them back to normal size. \n\nAfterwards, Hendrickson makes an excuse for shooting Adam, saying that the tranquilizer cartridges wouldn't hurt him, but Diane doesn't buy it and punches him, knocking him out. As the morning sun rises over the desert, Nick, now shrunk again by the ray along with Mandy and the car, finally wins Mandy's heart. Adam is excited to see that his Big Bunny is now over fifty feet tall. As Wayne and Diane kiss, the credits roll.\n" "Cast" "* Rick Moranis as Wayne Szalinski, a wacky inventor who always takes risks with pursuing machine experiments and at the same time is negligent prone when it comes to taking every precaution necessary in his achievement attempts.\n* Marcia Strassman as Diane Szalinski, Wayne's wife.\n* Amy O'Neill as Amy Szalinski, Wayne & Diane's eldest daughter.\n* Robert Oliveri as Nick Szalinski, Wayne & Diane's teenage son.\n* Daniel & Joshua Shalikar as Adam Szalinski, Wayne & Diane's two year old baby son who is enlarged to over 100 feet tall.\n* John Shea as Dr. Charles Hendrickson, Wayne's insolent boss hired under Clifford Sterling to be the head of Sterling labs. \n* Lloyd Bridges as Clifford Sterling, the president of Sterling labs.

Originally titled ''Big Baby'', it was about a toddler who grew to giant size by a freak accident involving a growth ray and eventually terrorized Las Vegas in a non-violent, yet Godzillaesque way. Disney saw the possibilities of making this into a sequel to ''Honey'' and rewrote the script. Whereas most of the characters from ''Big Baby'' were rewritten as characters from ''Honey, I Shrunk the Kids'', there was no character in the original that \"Amy Szalinski\" could replace, so she is seen going away to college in the beginning of the film.\n\n===Casting===\nRick Moranis returns from the original film to portray \"wacky\" inventor Wayne Szalinski. Also returning is his wife, Diane, who is portrayed by Marcia Strassman. Amy O'Neill and Robert Oliveri return to portray the Szalinski children, Amy and Nick. Nick has matured in his personality and interests since the last film. He is still considered \"nerdy\", but has taken more interest in girls and guitars.\n\nCasting director Renee Rousselot searched over 1,000 small children for someone to portray Adam, the newest addition to the Szalinski clan. She searched for mostly three- to four-year-old boys because a younger child was thought to be problematic. She came across twins Daniel and Joshua Shalikar, from New Jersey and immediately cast them in December 1990. One twin would act in the morning, while the other was eating lunch or taking a nap. Baby consultant Elaine Hall Katz and director Randal Kleiser would plan the twins' scenes a week in advance. Tom Smith reported that, \"On his own, Dan was almost too adventuresome to repeat one move, and Josh seemed very cautious. Put them together and they could do anything.\" However, the film did have difficulties in working with such small children, and one crew member later remarked it was \"like playing hopscotch on hot coals\".\nAt the time, the Shalikar twins were scheduled to appear in two more ''Honey'' films. They did appear once, but were recast in ''Honey, We Shrunk Ourselves''.\n\nIn the film, Nick has a crush on a girl named Mandy Park, played by Keri Russell in her first feature film. John Shea portrays Dr. Charles Hendrickson, who is scheming to get Wayne's control of the project, while Lloyd Bridges portrays Clifford Sterling, the owner of Sterling Labs.\n\nFred Rogers and Richard Simmons are also seen in videos in TV scenes in the film.\n\n===Direction===\nRandal Kleiser, of ''Grease'' and ''White Fang'' fame, was chosen to direct this film, replacing Joe Johnston. Kleiser would return to film with the cast in the 3D show, ''Honey, I Shrunk the Audience'', which was at several Disney parks until 2010. Like its predecessor, and ''Grease'', ''Honey, I Blew Up the Kid'' had animated opening credits.\n\nProduction began on June 17, 1991. Filming took place in Simi Valley, California for the parts involving the Szalinskis' house. Also used extensively was well known places in Las Vegas such as the Hard Rock Hotel and Casino, the Mirage Hotel, and Fremont Street. The water park where Nick worked and where Mandy is first introduced is Wet 'n Wild in Las Vegas. It closed in 2004, twelve years after the film.\n\nSpecial effects were used heavily throughout the film, but some were not. When Adam knocks down his bedroom's door, production designer Leslie Dilley created a set with miniature furniture about four feet away from the camera, while the adult actors would be about fifteen feet away. Kleiser recalled, \"Danny was generally better at improvising and fresh reactions. Josh was better at following directions, so we would alternate.\"\n\n===Lawsuit before release===\nDisney would later find itself the subject of a lawsuit as a result of the film. The suit was filed in 1991 by Mark Goodson Productions director Paul Alter, who claimed to have come up with the idea of an oversized toddler after babysitting his granddaughter and watching her topple over building blocks. He wrote a screenplay titled \"Now, That's a Baby!\", which had not been made into a film but had received some sort of treatment beforehand. Alter claimed there were several similarities between the movie and his script, which consisted of the baby daughter of two scientists falling victim to a genetic experiment gone wrong instead of an enlarging ray. The case went to trial in 1993, with the jury finding in Alter's favor. Disney was forced to pay $300,000 in damages.\n" "Reception" "\n===Box office===\nThe film opened on July 17, 1992 to 2,492 theatres, almost twice as many as the first film. It was No. 1 on opening weekend with $11,083,318, and grossed $58,662,452 in the U.S.\n\n===Critical===\n\nThe film has received generally mixed reviews. It has a \"rotten\" rating of 41% at Rotten Tomatoes. Desson Thompson and Hal Hinson, both writers from the ''Washington Post'', agreed that the film was \"a one-joke film\". Roger Ebert, from the ''Chicago Sun-Times'', said that Adam \"didn't participate in the real world but simply toddled around\".\n" "Soundtrack" "\n\nIntrada Records released the record in 1992, in time for the film's release. The score was composed and conducted by Bruce Broughton, who would return to provide the score for ''Honey, I Shrunk the Audience''. \"Stayin Alive\" by the Bee Gees appears in the film. So does \"Loco-Motion\" by Carole King, Gerry Goffin, and \"Ours If We Want It\" written by Tom Snow and Mark Mueller.

"Hot Cross Bunny" "Introduction" "\n\n'''''Hot Cross Bunny''''' is a 1948 Warner Bros. Merrie Melodies theatrical animated short, starring Bugs Bunny. The title is a play on the nursery rhyme ''Hot Cross Buns'' as well as a punny allusion to the basic plot premise.\n" " Summary " "Bugs is \"Experimental Rabbit #46\" in the Eureka Hospital Experimental Laboratory, Paul Revere Foundation (which sports the slogan 'Hardly a man is now alive' in punning allusion to Longfellow's \"Paul Revere's Ride\"). Bugs lives a pampered life, oblivious to the fact that a scientist plans on switching his brain (or at least his personality, since no surgery is involved) with that of a chicken.\n\nAfter giving Bugs an examination (including a joke when Bugs reads the microscopic \"Allied Trades Consul\" disclaimer on an eye chart when told to read the bottom line), the scientist brings him out to the operating theater, in front of an audience of fellow doctors. Bugs thinks he's been brought out to perform. He pulls out all the stops, singing, dancing, scatting (a la Danny Kaye), comedy routines (including his impression of Lionel Barrymore), and magic acts. Upon finishing each act, he looks around to see the unimpressed, stern-faced doctors in exactly the same frame position each time (\"What a tough audience! It ain't like St. Joe!\"). The scientist attempts to retrieve Bugs, but is pushed away. He strikes Bugs with a hammer while the rabbit is in the middle of a scat routine, but Bugs quickly revives and, having failed as the entertainment, becomes a vendor instead, selling hot dogs to the scientists, only to be hammered again. Learning the scientist's intentions, Bugs runs and a chase ensues.\n\nBugs hides in a closet, not noticing a skeleton in there, and comes out scared when he does see it. Then, when chased into the laboratory, he makes an ostensibly explosive cocktail and threatens the scientist with it, saying: \"One more step and I'll blow ya up! This contains manganese, phosphorus, nitrate, lactic acid, and dextrose!\" The scientist dismisses the threat, saying that the ingredients Bugs mentioned are the formula for a chocolate malt. Then he hides near an oxygen tent disguised as a Boy Scout, leading the scientist in the wrong direction.\n\nFinally, Bugs is rendered helpless with laughing gas and placed on the table, with metallic mind-switching caps placed on him and the rather uninterested-looking chicken. At the last minute, he switches the electrodes (though it is revealed at the end that Bugs cut the wire connecting to his electrode instead) and the scientist ends up clucking like a chicken, while the chicken (with the scientist's mind) states in plain English he hopes that the experiment can be reversed. Bugs tells the audience: \"Looks like Doc is a victim of '''fowl play'''!\" and laughs.\n" " References " "\n" " External links " "* \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n"

"Ian McCulloch (singer)" "Introduction" "\n\n\n\n'''Ian Stephen McCulloch''' (born 5 May 1959 in Liverpool) is an English singer-songwriter and musician, best known as the frontman for the rock group Echo & the Bunnymen.\n" "Career" "McCulloch in Amsterdam in 2006\nIan McCulloch with Echo & the Bunnymen at the Festival Internacional de Benic\u00e0ssim 2016\nMcCulloch was a singer-songwriter with the Crucial Three, one of many local bands that sprung up amongst the regulars who patronised a Liverpool club called Eric's in the late '70s. The other two members were Julian Cope and Pete Wylie who went on to form Wah!. The band existed between May and June 1977, and never got beyond rehearsals. In July 1978, along with future members of The Teardrop Explodes \u2013 Cope, Mick Finkler and Paul Simpson \u2013 and drummer Dave Pickett, McCulloch formed A Shallow Madness. Again the band did not perform or record, but an acoustic version of the band, under the name 'Uh', played live twice. The band split up in September 1978. \n\nIn October 1978, McCulloch founded Echo & the Bunnymen with Will Sergeant (guitar), Les Pattinson (bass), and a drum machine (allegedly named Echo), making their live d\u00e9but at Eric's in November that year. In October 1979 the Bunnymen exchanged the drum machine for Pete de Freitas on drums. With their line up solidified, the Bunnymen played in the late 1970s and early 1980s, releasing their critically praised, first two albums, the somewhat Doors influenced Crocodiles in 1980 and the heavier, bass driven, Heaven up Here in 1981 and culminating with the release of ''Ocean Rain'' in 1984. Shortly before the album was released, McCulloch described \"Ocean Rain\" as \"the greatest album ever made\". McCulloch later said: \"When I sing 'The Killing Moon' I know there isn't a band in the world who's got a song anywhere near that.\"\n\nIn 1988, McCulloch left the group to pursue a solo career under the impression the Bunnymen would be laid to rest, if only temporarily. When the remaining Bunnymen continued using the name with new singer Noel Burke, the split became permanent with McCulloch referring to the band as \"Echo & the Bogusmen\".\n\nIn 1990, McCulloch released the album ''Candleland'' which reflected a more mature outlook on the world, owing to the recent deaths of McCulloch's father and Pete de Freitas, and peaked at number 18 in the UK Albums Chart. It yielded two Modern Rock Tracks hits, \"Proud To Fall\" (No. 1 for 4 weeks) and \"Faith and Healing\". The album ''Mysterio'' was released in 1992 as the public's interest in the former Bunnyman was waning and sold less than its predecessor. Shortly after, McCulloch left the public eye to devote more time to his family.\n\nIn 1993, McCulloch partnered with Johnny Marr of the Smiths, writing an album's worth of material and generating public excitement over the collaboration of two highly regarded artists. McCulloch has credited Marr with helping him regain his lost confidence and rejuvenating his desire to create music. When it was suggested that Will Sergeant be brought in to work on the songs, the tapes were allegedly stolen from a courier van preventing Sergeant from offering any input.\n\nThe rekindling of the relationship between McCulloch and Sergeant led to the formation of Electrafixion in 1994. The band released the album ''Burned'' which peaked at number 38 in the UK and included the top-30 hit \"Sister Pain\". The band soon found themselves performing set lists composed of half Electrafixion songs and half Echo & the Bunnymen songs. \n\nIn 1997, Echo & the Bunnymen reformed and released the album ''Evergreen'' to positive reviews and chart success. ''Evergreen'' made the Top 10 of the UK Albums Chart and the single Nothing Lasts Forever reached No. 8 on the UK Singles Chart. The reformed Bunnymen have since several further albums, the most recent being ''Meteorites'' which was released in 2014.\n\nAt the height of the Bunnymen's popularity, McCulloch earned the nickname \"Mac the Mouth\" due to a penchant for witty, blunt criticism of artists he deemed inferior, while proclaiming the Bunnymen's superiority. Targets of his observations included Bono of U2 and Julian Cope. More recently, in 2011, McCulloch said of Bono: \"Had he been in Liverpool, he would have been laughed out of the place. U2 have never been liked in Liverpool. We know a fake when we see one.\" McCulloch said that during the early 1980s, Bono told him the Bunnymen could break America but only if they toured there for three months. McCulloch said: \"Three months? I can't spent three minutes in Birkenhead without going daft, let alone America.\"\n\nIn 1998, McCulloch teamed up with the Spice Girls, Tommy Scott of Space, and Simon Fowler of Ocean Colour Scene as \"England United\" to record \"Top of the World\", the official song for Team England in the 1998 FIFA World Cup, although it fared less well than a reissue of \"Three Lions\". He enjoyed more success working as a mentor for Coldplay during the recording of their 2002 album ''A Rush of Blood to the Head''.\n\nIn 2003, McCulloch released his third solo album ''Slideling'' and undertook a solo tour in support of the album.\n\nMcCulloch has been a lifetime supporter of Liverpool F.C. In 2006 he took part in recording the team's anthem with the Bootroom Allstars \u2013 a remake of the Johnny Cash song, \"Ring of Fire\", and was on the judging panel for the music competition Pringles Unsung.\n\nIn 2010, McCulloch featured in a guest role on the song \"Some Kind of Nothingness\" by the Manic Street Preachers from their tenth album ''Postcards from a Young Man''.\n\nIn 2012, McCulloch released a solo LP, \"Pro Patria Mori\" and a live album \"Holy Ghosts\" in 2013.\n" "Musical influences" "\nMcCulloch has cited Lou Reed, Iggy Pop, the Doors, Stevie Wonder, Leonard Cohen and particularly David Bowie as influences for his work. He has described Cohen's song \"Suzanne\" as \"the perfect lyric with the perfect melody\" and Bowie as \"so influential and the greatest solo artist of the 20th Century in any walk of art.\"\n" "Personal life" "In 1983, McCulloch married Lorraine Fox. They have two daughters, Candy and Mimi. Candy appeared in the video for his solo single \"Faith and Healing\" when she was a young girl. The couple separated in late 2003. He was in a relationship with Zoe Devlin, a former X Factor contestant. They had a daughter, Dusty, but have now separated.\n\nMcCulloch was brought up in the Norris Green area of Liverpool. The road on which he originally lived, Parthenon Drive, is the title of a song contained in the 2005 Echo & the Bunnymen album, ''Siberia''. He was educated at Alsop High School.\n\nMcCulloch featured in a YouTube video appeal in October 2010 which campaigned for Tom Hicks and George Gillett to be removed from Liverpool F.C. In a 2013 interview McCulloch said that he was no longer attending Liverpool matches.\n" "Discography" "\n\n\n*''Candleland'' (1989)\n*''Mysterio'' (1992)\n*''Slideling'' (2003)\n*''Pro Patria Mori'' (2012)\n*''Liverpool Cathedral Live'' (2012)\n*''Holy Ghosts'' (2013)\n" "References" "\n" "External links" "\n\n* Bunnymen.com \u2013 The official site\n* The Songwriter As Poet: Ian McCulloch and the Pre-Raphaelite Tradition\n* The Ultimate Echo and the Bunnymen Forum, Discography, Tab & Lyric Site\n* A review of ''Slideling'', Ian McCulloch\u2019s solo album from 2003\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n"

Her work mostly depicted fairies.\n\nIda was born in Carlton, Victoria, the youngest child of four and second daughter of the Rev. Dr. John Laurence Rentoul, an Irish-born Presbyterian minister and academic, and his wife Annie Isobel (n\u00e9e Rattray). At the time of her birth Outhwaite's father was a professor at Ormond College, University of Melbourne, and later moderator-general of his church for 1912-14, and when the World War I broke out, chaplain-general of the Australian military forces. She was educated at Presbyterian Ladies' College, Melbourne.\n\nShe married Arthur Grenbry Outhwaite on 8 December 1909 and thereafter was generally known as Ida Rentoul Outhwaite. Before this she had variously signed her work I.S.R. and at some point changed this to I.R.O. She also occasionally used I.S.R.O. and full spellings rather than abbreviations.\n\nOuthwaite worked predominantly with pen and ink, and watercolour.\n\nOuthwaite's first illustration was published by ''New Idea'' magazine in 1904 when she was just 15 years of age - it accompanied a story written by her older sister, Anne Rattray Rentoul. In the years that followed, the sisters collaborated on a number of stories. Following her marriage to Grenbry Outhwaite in 1909, she also collaborated with her husband - most notably for ''The Enchanted Forest'' (1921), ''The Little Fairy Sister'' (1923) and ''Fairyland'' (1926). In a number of cases, her children - Robert, Anne, Wendy and William - served as models for her illustrations.\n\nHer illustrations were exhibited throughout Australia, as well as in London and Paris between 1907 and 1933. She died in Caulfield, Victoria, Australia.\n\nPublications carrying her illustrations include:\n* ''Mollie's Bunyip'' (1904);\n* ''Mollie's Staircase'' (1906);\n* ''Gum Tree Brownie and other Faerie Folk of the Never Never'' (1907);\n* ''Before the Lamps are Lit'' (1911);\n* ''Elves and Fairies'' (1916);\n* ''The Enchanted Forest'' (1921);\n* ''The Little Green Road to Fairyland'' (1922);\n* ''The Little Fairy Sister'' (1923);\n* ''The Sentry and the Shell Fairy'' (1924);\n* ''Fairyland'' (1926);\n* ''Blossom: A Fairy Story'' (1928);\n* ''Bunny and Brownie: The Adventures of George and Wiggle'' (1930); and\n* ''A Bunch of Wild Flowers'' (1933).\n\nHer works were also published in periodicals and newspapers such as ''The New Idea'', ''The Native Companion'', ''Australia Today'' and the ''British-Australasian''.\n\nHer work is depicted in four stained glass windows in an adjoining hall at St Mark's Anglican Church in Fitzroy, Victoria.\n\nIn 1985 she was honoured on a postage stamp, depicting an illustration from ''Elves and Fairies'', issued by Australia Post.\n" "References" "\n" "External links" "\n* Ida Rentoul Outhwaite - Children's Books illustrators.\n* Ida Rentoul Outhwaite - Queen of Fairyland - Everything by fairy artist - Ida Rentoul Outhwaite.

"Jack Cassidy" "Introduction" "\n\n\n'''John Joseph Edward''' \"'''Jack'''\" '''Cassidy''' (March 5, 1927\u00a0\u2013 December 12, 1976) was an American actor, singer and director of stage, film, and television.\n" "Early life" "He was born in Richmond Hill, Queens, New York, the son of Charlotte (n\u00e9e Koehler) and William Cassidy. His father, an engineer at the Long Island Rail Road, was of Irish descent and his mother was of German ancestry.\n" "Career" "Cassidy achieved success as a musical performer on Broadway. He appeared in ''Alive and Kicking'', ''Wish You Were Here'', ''Shangri-La'', ''Maggie Flynn'', ''Fade Out \u2013 Fade In'', ''It's a Bird...It's a Plane...It's Superman'', and ''She Loves Me'', for which he won a Tony Award. He also received Emmy Award nominations for his television performances in ''He & She'' and ''The Andersonville Trial''.\n\nOn television, he became a frequent guest star, appearing in such programs as ''The Alfred Hitchcock Hour'', ''Gunsmoke'', ''Bewitched'', ''Get Smart'', ''That Girl'', ''Hawaii Five-O'', ''Match Game'' and ''McCloud'' and three times as a murderer on ''Columbo'', including \"Murder By the Book\", directed by not yet famous Steven Spielberg. Because that episode was the first of the first season, Cassidy was the first murderer of the series, excluding the two pilot films. The other two Columbo episodes are \"Publish or Perish\" (1974) and \"Now You See Him\" (1976).\n\nHe co-starred with Ronnie Schell in a television revival of ''Hellzapoppin'''. Cassidy also co-starred as a despicable informer in the movie ''The Eiger Sanction'' with Clint Eastwood and provided the voice of Bob Cratchit for the pioneering animated television special ''Mister Magoo's Christmas Carol''.\n\nHis frequent professional persona was that of an urbane, super-confident egotist with a dramatic flair, much in the manner of Broadway actor Frank Fay. Cassidy perfected this character to such an extent that he was cast as John Barrymore in the feature film ''W.C. Fields and Me''.\n\nThe role of the vain, shallow, buffoon-like newsman Ted Baxter on TV's ''The Mary Tyler Moore Show'' (1970\u20131977) was reportedly written with Cassidy in mind. Although Cassidy had played a similar buffoonish character in the 1967-1968 sitcom ''He & She'', he turned down the role, feeling that it was not right for him; the part went to Ted Knight. Cassidy later appeared as a guest star in a 1971 episode as Ted's highly competitive and equally egotistical brother, Hal.\n" "Personal life" "===Marriages and children===\nA programme featuring Cassidy and Jones at the White House in 1957\n\nCassidy was married twice. His first marriage in 1946 was to actress Evelyn Ward. Together they had a son, David, who later became a teen idol. They divorced in 1956 and in the same year Cassidy married singer and actress Shirley Jones. Cassidy and Jones had three sons, Shaun, Patrick, and Ryan. Cassidy's eldest son David later starred with Jones in the musical sitcom ''The Partridge Family.'' Jones and Cassidy divorced in 1974.\n\n===Mental issues===\nIn his 1994 autobiography, ''C'Mon, Get Happy'', Cassidy's eldest son David wrote that he became increasingly concerned about his father in the last years of his life. Cassidy suffered from bipolar disorder and was an alcoholic, who was displaying increasingly erratic behavior. In 1974, his neighbors were shocked to see him watering his front lawn naked in the middle of the afternoon. Cassidy's second wife Shirley Jones described a similar incident when she found him sitting naked in a corner, reading a book. Jones said to him that they had to get ready to do a show, and he calmly looked up and said, \"I know now that I'm Christ\". In December 1974, Cassidy was hospitalized in a psychiatric facility for 48 hours. At that time, Jones found out that he had been previously diagnosed with bipolar disorder.\n\n===Sexuality===\nDavid Cassidy claimed that his father was bisexual, citing attributed personal accounts and reports, both anecdotal and published, of his father's same-sex affairs, a fact neither he nor his siblings discovered until after his death. In her 2013 memoir, Shirley Jones confirms that Cassidy had many same-sex affairs, including one with Cole Porter.\n" "Death" "By 1976, Cassidy was living alone in a penthouse apartment in West Hollywood.\n\nAccording to ex-wife Shirley Jones, on December 11, 1976, Cassidy asked her over for drinks, but she declined his invitation. He then invited actress and singer Donna Theodore out for a date. According to Theodore in a 1999 interview, which was featured in the ''Mysteries and Scandals'' episode on Cassidy, she began noticing strange mood swings in Cassidy, notably one incident in which he ran all over the nightclub to which they had gone. Feeling uncomfortable, she asked him to take her back to her house, which he did. After eating dinner alone at an Italian restaurant, Cassidy returned to his apartment alone, by which time he was drunk, as he had consumed alcohol at various bars across West Hollywood that evening. In the early morning hours of December 12, Cassidy lit a cigarette and fell asleep on his Naugahyde couch. He then dropped the cigarette, which ignited the couch. The flames quickly spread throughout the apartment and the building. At 6:15 a.m., the blaze was discovered by Deputy Sherriff John DiMatteo, who evacuated the building and entered Cassidy's apartment. A charred corpse was found in the doorway of the apartment. As Cassidy's car was missing, his family hoped that he had traveled to Palm Springs, as he had apparently intended the following day. But the corpse was soon identified as Cassidy's by dental records and a signet ring that he wore, bearing the Cassidy family crest. The car had been borrowed by a friend, who later returned it. Cassidy's remains were cremated and scattered on the Pacific Ocean.\n" "Accolades" "Cassidy won the 1964 Tony Award for best featured actor in a musical for his role in ''She Loves Me'' and was nominated for two Emmy Awards: in 1968 for Outstanding Performance by an Actor in a Supporting Role in a Comedy, for ''He & She'', and 1971 for Outstanding Single Performance by an Actor in a Leading Role for the film ''The Andersonville Trial'' (1970). Cassidy was approved for a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame in 2005, and fundraising efforts are currently underway to fund the dedication ceremony.\n" "Stage" "Source: Playbill Vault \n===Broadway===\n\n\n* ''Something for the Boys'' (1943) \u2014 chorus\n* ''Sadie Thompson'' (1944) \u2014 chorus\n* ''Around the World'' (1946) \u2014 chorus\n* ''Music in My Heart'' (1947) \u2014 chorus\n* ''Small Wonder'' (1948) \u2014 ensemble\n* ''Inside U.S.A.''

"Jan Karon" "Introduction" "\n\n\n'''Jan Karon''' is an American novelist who writes for both adults and young readers. She is the author of the ''New York Times''-bestselling Mitford novels, featuring Father Timothy Kavanagh, an Episcopalian priest, and the fictional village of Mitford. Her most recent Mitford novel, ''Come Rain or Come Shine'', debuted at #1 on the ''New York Times'' Bestseller List. She has been designated a lay Canon for the Arts in the Episcopal Diocese of Quincy (Illinois) by Keith Ackerman, Episcopal Bishop of Quincy, and in 2015, she was awarded the Library of Virginia's Literary Lifetime Achievement Award. Her original papers-to date are archived in Special Collections at the University of Virginia's Alderman Library.\n" "Early life" "Karon was born in 1937 in the Blue Ridge foothills town of Lenoir, North Carolina as Janice Meredith Wilson. Fittingly, she was named Janice Meredith Wilson, after the novel ''Janice Meredith''. Before Karon was 4, her parents split up and left her with her maternal grandparents on a farm a few miles from Lenoir. Her mother Wanda \u2013 15 at Karon's birth \u2013 went to Charlotte. Her father, Robert Wilson, joined the Royal Canadian Air Force.\n\nAt 12, Karon moved to Charlotte to rejoin her mother, who had married Toby Setzer and had two more children. Karon dropped out of school in ninth grade, at 14, and married Robert Freeland in South Carolina, where girls her age could do so legally. Freeland, five years older, worked at a Charlotte tire store, while Karon worked in a clothing store. At 15, she gave birth to her only child, Candace Freeland.\n\nKaron and Freeland\u2019s marriage was troubled from the beginning, and tragedy rocked it further. Younger brother Alan Freeland recalls that he and Robert were at Charlotte's Stork Drive In when friends showed up, having been shooting a pistol at the Catawba River. They handed the gun through the window to Alan Freeland. A bullet punctured one of Robert Freeland's lungs and chipped his spine, nearly killing him and leaving him paralyzed. Karon was distraught and tried again to make the marriage work. It did not, and the couple divorced.\n\nKaron, 18, was on her own with little Candace. She took a receptionist job at Walter J. Klein Co., a Charlotte advertising agency. Bored with answering the phone, she submitted writing examples. Klein soon had her writing advertising copy. In her early 20s, Karon married Bill Orth, a Duke Power chemist. Orth was active with Karon in theater and the Unitarian Church. By the late 1960s, Karon and Orth were divorced, and she had married a third time, to Arthur Karon, a clothing salesman. Arthur moved his wife and her daughter to Berkeley, California, where they lived for three years.\n\nIn California, Karon practiced Judaism, but she did not convert from Christianity. Karon wanted to be a novelist, and tried all through the 1960s. When Karon's third marriage ended she returned to Charlotte and again worked in advertising. By 1985, Karon had moved to Raleigh and the McKinney & Silver advertising agency, where she had worked in the late 1970s. Karon and Michael Winslow, a Mckinney designer, collaborated on a tourism campaign, interviewing artisans, musicians and others for print ads aimed at showing that North Carolina had other attractions besides theme parks and big hotels. One ad featured mountain musicians under the headline, \"The Best Place to Hear Old English Music Is 3,000 Miles West of London.\" The daringly sloganless campaign, which ran in ''National Geographic'' and other magazines, won the 1987 Kelly Award - the print advertising equivalent of the Academy Award. Karon and Winslow split a $100,000 prize.\n\nIn 1988, Karon quit her job, traded her Mercedes for a used Toyota and moved to Blowing Rock. In Blowing Rock, Karon began writing Father Tim stories for the ''Blowing Rocket'' newspaper. An agent circulated Karon's fiction to publishers, but got only rejections. In 1994, Karon herself placed her work with a small religious publisher, which brought out a volume titled ''At Home in Mitford''. Karon kept writing, and employed her marketing skills to promote her book, writing press releases and cold-calling bookstores. But the publisher offered limited distribution and little marketing muscle of its own. Two more Mitford novels appeared. Sales remained modest. Then Karon's friend Mary Richardson - mother of Carolina Panthers' owner Jerry Richardson - showed ''At Home in Mitford'' to Nancy Olson, owner of Quail Ridge Books & Music in Raleigh. Olson felt there was a large audience looking for clean, well-written fiction. She sent Karon's book to a New York agent friend, who got it to Carolyn Carlson, an editor at Viking Penguin and daughter of a Lutheran minister. Carlson faced opposition at Viking Penguin, a mainstream publisher unused to Christian fiction. But in 1996 the big New York firm brought out Karon's first three titles as paperbacks. The publisher also put Karon on a cross-country promotional tour. Meanwhile, independent bookstore workers began reading and championing her novels. By the late 1990s, Karon's books were ''New York Times'' bestsellers. In 2000, Karon left Blowing Rock and moved to Virginia, where she has restored an 1816 home, set in a working farm of 100 acres.\n" "Works" "\n=== Fiction ===\n\n==== ''The Mitford Years'' ====\n*''At Home in Mitford'' (1994)\n*''A Light in the Window'' (1995)\n*''These High, Green Hills'' (1996)\n*''Out to Canaan'' (1997)\n*''A New Song'' (1999)\n*''A Common Life: the Wedding Story'' (2001)\n*''In This Mountain'' (2002)\n*''Shepherds Abiding'' (2003)\n*''Light from Heaven'' (2005)\n*''Home to Holly Springs'' (2007)\n*''In the Company of Others'' (2010)\n*''Somewhere Safe with Somebody Good'' (2014)\n*''Come Rain or Come Shine (2015)''\n\n==== Children's books ====\n*''Miss Fannie's Hat'' (1998)\n*''Jeremy: The Tale of an Honest Bunny'' (2000)\n*''Jan Karon Presents: Violet Comes to Stay'' (2006)\n*''Jan Karon Presents:'' ''Violet Goes to the Country'' (2007)\n\n==== Christmas books ====\n*''The Mitford Snowmen'' (2001)\n*''Esther's Gift: A Mitford Christmas Story'' (2002)\n\n=== Non-fiction ===\n*''Patches of Godlight: Father Tim's Favorite Quotes'' (2001) - religious quotes used in the Mitford series\n*''The Trellis and the Seed: A Book of Encouragement for All Ages'' (2003)\n*''Jan Karon's Mitford Cookbook and Kitchen Reader'' (2004)\n*''A Continual Feast: Words of Comfort and Celebration, collected by Father Tim'' (2005)\n*''The Mitford Bedside Companion'' (2006)\n" "References" "\n Current biography at Penguin\n" "External links" "* Official site for the Mitford series author\n* December 6, 2005 lecture given by Karon at the National Cathedral, entitled ''Wrestling with and Writing from the Heart''\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n"
"Jazz Jackrabbit (1994 video game)" "Introduction" "\n\n\n'''''Jazz Jackrabbit''''' is a platform game developed and published by Epic MegaGames. It was released in 1994 for PCs operating DOS, with subsequent Macintosh and Microsoft Windows releases in 1995 and 1996. It was one of the first games to bring the side-scrolling platformer style - common on gaming consoles - to a PC audience.\n" "Plot" "The game is set in a fantasy world based on Aesop's \"The Tortoise and the Hare\", in which the enmity between tortoises and hares continues even after three thousand years. An evil mastermind tortoise named Devan Shell begins conquering planets, suppressing any native confrontation. One of such planets, Carrotus, is home to a peaceful hare kingdom that, once confronted by Shell, is able to provide enough resistance to fend him off. Enraged by his loss, Devan decides to kidnap Carrotus princess Eva Earlong and hide her on a distant airbase of unknown location to weaken the hares. In response, the king chooses to send Carrotus' hero Jazz Jackrabbit, who carries a blue LFG-2000 gun, to various planets conquered by Devan that might contain clues to the location of Eva's imprisonment. As Jazz travels through different worlds, he gains new weapons and meets new enemies in his pursuit to rescue the princess and save Carrotus from Devan Shell and his army of Turtle Terrorists.\n\nJazz is depicted as a bright green jackrabbit with a red bandana, bracers and a blue \"blaster\" gun.\n" "Gameplay" "In-game screenshot showing Jazz shooting at an enemy on Diamondus level, while profiting from temporary invincibility depicted by a field of yellow stars\nThe game is divided into six episodes. Each episode has three planets (worlds), with every planet itself consisting of two levels (some planets have an additional secret level). The final level of every episode features a boss that the player must deal with in order to complete the level. Episodes are tied by a single storyline usually progressing after each episode is finished.\n\nGameplay mechanics in ''Jazz'' are very similar to ''Zool'''s, with the exception of not being able to destroy the enemies by simply jumping at them (which was not added until the second game). Jazz will run faster and jump higher the longer he runs, avoiding chasms that might lead to harmful objects. Unlike other platform games, however, there are no abysses and every level bifurcates into subsections that might lead to valuable items (such as weapon pick-ups, score items, etc.) while the direction of general progression is hinted at with occasional arrows. Jazz has a life bar that changes in colour based on how much health Jazz has remaining. Jazz can withstand a limited number of hits (5 on Easy mode, 4 on Medium mode, 3 on Hard or Turbo mode) from harmful objects before losing a life; one hit's worth of health can be restored by picking up a carrot. Lives can also be accumulated to the maximum number of ten. When killed, Jazz starts from the level beginning or any checkpoint sign was reached and shot before.\n\nItems that the player can pick up usually resemble food, computer hardware components or other familiar shapes, and give 100 score points each. There are also several beneficial pick-ups in the game: a \"force shield\" that protects Jazz from one or four hits, a sidekick in form of a bird that shoots enemies, a hoverboard that allows flight in the air, rapid fire/super jump bonuses, a temporary \"speed-up\" and invincibility, as well as extra lives. Weapons also vary in numbers and consistency and include (besides the initial blaster) bouncing launcher grenades, flame bullets, bi-missile projectiles and TNT sets. Large sets of ammunition can only be collected by being shot from their enclosure.\n\nThe first game features a timer that starts a number of minutes at the beginning of each level (9 minutes 59 seconds on Easy mode, 8 minutes on Medium, 6 minutes on Hard, and 4 minutes on Turbo) and counts down to zero; on Hard and Turbo, another countdown appears at the top of the screen when there is less than a minute left, and if time expires, Jazz loses a life. If Jazz reaches and shoots the finish sign before time runs out, the player is then provided with additional score points awarded for the remaining time and a perfect score if he picks up all items and/or deals with all enemies. If Jazz finishes the area with a big red diamond, he gets to enter the bonus stage. In theses stages, animation switches to a pseudo-3D (third-person shooter) of Jazz as he runs on a speedway with the purpose of gathering as many blue diamonds as requested before time runs out, while obstacles try to stop him or slow him down. If the task is accomplished successfully, the player is provided with an extra life.\nJazz in his lizard form\nAside from bonuses, ''Jazz'' also features secret levels that can be accessed in specific areas of other levels once in every episode. Secret level signs feature the question mark instead of Devan's head portrait that must be shot. The current level is then considered completed and the secret level embarks. Levels themselves consist of an enormous \"grant\" area with numerous weapons and items to pick up. One level, however, features a mini-boss, while the player assumes control of Jazz in his sidekick bird form. Secret levels also feature a count-up upon completion that provides the player with extra score points.\n" "Development" "''Jazz Jackrabbit'' was developed in the Netherlands where Arjan Brussee then lived and in La Verne, California where game designer Cliff Bleszinski lived and worked from his mother's home. It was greatly inspired by the Amiga game ''Zool'' and the ongoing success of video game classics (such as ''Sonic the Hedgehog'' and ''Mega Man'') defining the platform game genre in the 1990s market, and was initially considered to be a pastiche of Sega's ''Sonic the Hedgehog'' in the computer world. The game did not manage to reach the popularity of ''Sonic'', but did acquire a certain fan audience due to its fast-paced gameplay, advanced graphics and notorious acid jazz level soundtracks.\n\nOn July 30, 1994, a CD-ROM version was released containing all six original episodes, as well as 3 additional ones, known as \"The Lost Episodes\", listed as episodes A, B, and C. In the C-episode, there is a secret level with Jazz in the form of a lizard.\n\nA shareware Christmas edition was released on December 3, 1994, with a special 3-level holiday-themed episode, titled \"Holiday Hare\". Subsequent pressings of the CD-ROM edition added Holiday Hare as episode X, bringing the total episode count to 10. \n\nFurthermore, on October 17, 1995, another shareware Christmas edition was released with a different holiday episode, titled \"Holiday Hare '95\", with 2 new holiday-themed worlds.\n" "Reception and legacy" "In 1995, ''PC Format'' magazine named ''Jazz Jackrabbit'' \"Arcade Game of the Year\". A sequel named ''Jazz Jackrabbit 2'' was released in 1998, as well as a reboot on Game Boy Advance in 2002. The commercial success of the game kickstarted the career of its co-creator, Cliff Bleszinski, who would later go on to be a key force behind Epic Games' blockbuster hits ''Unreal'' and ''Gears of War'', among other titles. An Open Source cross-platform re-implementation named OpenJazz was released by Alister Thomson in 2005.\n" "External links" "*\n*\n" "References" "\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n"

"Jessica Martin" "Introduction" "\n\n\nJessica Martin is an English actress, singer and impressionist whose career has diversified to include comic writing and illustrating.\n" "Life and career" "She graduated with a B.A Honours degree in English and Drama from Westfield College, London University and Central School of Speech and Drama. Soon after graduating she became an impressionist on the Fringe circuit, performing alongside Rory Bremner and Harry Enfield. She was given a regular slot on ''Spitting Image'' and became the only female member of London Weekend's impressionist show, ''Copy Cats''. Fellow team members included Bobby Davro with whom she partnered for three series of his weekly show ''Bobby Davro's TV Weekly''. Martin and Gary Wilmot went on to find musical theatre stardom in the West End hit show ''Me and My Girl''. They performed for two years at the Adelphi Theatre and did a national tour.\n\nMartin went on to play many leading musical roles including Mabel in the 1996 production of ''Mack and Mabel'' at the Piccadilly Theatre, Nellie Forbush in ''South Pacific'', Mrs Lovett in ''Sweeney Todd'' and Norma Desmond in ''Sunset Boulevard''. She also guest starred in ''Doctor Who'' starring Sylvester McCoy as the Doctor. She played Mags in ''The Greatest Show in the Galaxy''. The episodes were released on DVD in 2012. She also provided the voice of the Queen in the ''Voyage of the Damned'' with David Tennant as the Doctor in the 2007 Christmas special.\nShe has made numerous radio appearances including a specially written one off special for BBC Radio 2, ''Cybill Liberty'', written by Mark Brisenden featuring a 1940s female radio detective Cybill Liberty, including Judy Garland and Carmen Miranda all played by Jessica.\n\nShe has maintained an extensive career as a voice over artists, performing in animations and commercials. She has also recorded several audio books including Mary Wollstonecraft's ''Vindication of the Rights of Men''.\n\nMartin provides voice acting for the English-language version of the PlayStation 2 game ''Dragon Quest VIII'', most notably as Empyrea.\n\nIn 2004, Martin recorded a song for the CD ''Weird & Wonderful - A Collection Of Songs by Alexander S. Bermange celebrating weirdos and weirdness'', featuring sixteen West End stars (released on Dress Circle Records). In 2008, she joined author and columnist Mark Steyn to release a cover of \"It's a Marshmallow World\", a holiday song first popularized by Bing Crosby.\n\nShe played the Lady of the Lake in the national tour of ''Spamalot'' in 2011, Lottie Ames in the award winning production of ''Mack and Mabel'' and Lottie Lacey in the revival of William Inge's ''Dark at the Top of the Stairs''.\n\nIn the last two years, Martin has successfully transitioned into the comic book industry. She has merged her passion for film history with narrative art. Her first published work was a story illustrated by her 'mentor' Mark Buckingham, leading artist on Vertigo's \"Fables\" series which was included in the Thought Bubble Anthology 2013. Her first comic written and drawn by herself was \"It Girl\" about silent film superstar Clara Bow. It was self-published in November 2013 and has been an ongoing success. It has sold out several times over in London comic shops Orbital and Gosh as well as Foyles and BFI bookstores. It was selected as one of the \"Ten Must Own Comics 2013\" by Broken Frontier's Small Press website.\n\nHer first graphic novel ''Elsie Harris Picture Palace'' set in the 1930s British film industry was short listed in the Myriad First Graphic Novel Prize 2014. The ceremony took place at the British Library in May 2014 as part of the \"Comics Unmasked\" exhibition season. It was published in Spring 2015.\n\nIn October 2015, she joined the cast of Elf: The Musical, playing the role of Emily Hobbs at the Dominion Theatre. In September 2016, she was featured in Robert J. Sherman's ''Bumblescratch'' playing the dual roles of Bethesda Bumblescratch and the Widow MacGregor at the Adelphi Theatre. She was named a Variety Club Celebrity Ambassador for her work in ''Bumblescratch'' and her other works.\n\nJessica Martin is a patron of the Music Hall Guild of Great Britain and America and performed at the 50th anniversary Memorial Service for Lupino Lane at St Paul's, Covent Garden.\n" "Roles" "\n===Television===\n* ''No\u00ebl Coward's Tonight At 8.30'' (BBC 1) 1992\n* ''You Bet'' Guest Panelist, Series 6 Episode 3 (LWT)1992\n* ''Doctor Who'' (BBC 1) 1988\n* ''Spitting Image'' (Central Independent Television) 1985-87\n* ''Royal Variety Shows'' (LWT) 1987 and 1986\n* ''Bobby Davro's T.V Weekly'' (Television South) 1986-88\n* ''Sunday Night At The London Palladium'' (LWT) 1986\n* ''Copy Cats'' (LWT) 1985\n\n===Games===\n* ''Dragon Quest VIII'' Empyrea (2004)\n* ''Metroid Other M'' Samus Aran (2010)\n\n===Film===\n* ''Shalom'' dir.

"Jimmy Carter rabbit incident" "Introduction" "The rabbit swimming away from the President\nThe '''Jimmy Carter rabbit incident''', dubbed the \"killer rabbit\" attack by the media, involved a swamp rabbit that swam toward then\u2013U.S. President Jimmy Carter's fishing boat on April 20, 1979. The incident caught press imagination after Carter's press secretary mentioned the event to a correspondent months later.\n" "Background" "President Carter had gone on a solo fishing expedition in his hometown of Plains, Georgia. According to Carter a rabbit being chased by hounds \"jumped in the water and swam toward my boat. When he got almost there, I splashed some water with a paddle.\"\n\nUpon returning to his office, Carter's staff did not believe his story, insisting that rabbits could not swim, or that they would never approach a person threateningly. However, the incident was captured on footage taken by a White House photographer.\n" "Media accounts and public perception" "Jody Powell, Carter's press secretary, mentioned the event to Associated Press correspondent Brooks Jackson on August 28, 1979, who filed the story with the wire service the following day. The story, entitled \"Bunny Goes Bugs: Rabbit Attacks President\", ran on August 30, 1979, and was carried on the front page of ''The Washington Post'', though the White House's refusal to release the photograph resulted in the newspaper using a cartoon parody of the ''Jaws'' poster labeled \"PAWS\" as its illustration. The White House still refused to release the photograph of the incident to the media until it turned up during the Reagan administration and the story saw a revival.\n\nCarter shooing away the rabbit, at far right\nIn his 1986 book ''The Other Side of the Story'', Powell recounted the story as follows:\n\n\n\nThe incident with the rabbit became fodder for political and ideological opponents who wanted to frame Carter's presidency as hapless and enfeebled, although the event's proximity to the Stateside release of the comedy feature film ''Monty Python and the Holy Grail'', which includes scenes of a killer rabbit slaying humans, led to some people describing Carter as having \"fended off a killer rabbit\" instead.\n\nThe incident was parodied in 1980 in a song by the folk singer Tom Paxton entitled \"I Don't Want a Bunny Wunny\".\n\nHumor columnist Dave Barry has often referred to the \"enormous swimming rabbit\" incident in his writings. In ''Dave Barry Slept Here: A Sort of History of the United States'', he names it the uncontested single most memorable event of Carter's presidency.\n" "See also" "\n* George H. W.

"Johnny Clarke" "Introduction" "\n\n\n'''Johnny Clarke''' (born 12 January 1955) is a Jamaican reggae musician, best known for his recordings with producer Bunny Lee in the 1970s.\n" "Biography" "Clarke grew up in the Kingston ghetto of Whitfield Town and attended Jamaica College. In 1971 he won a talent contest in Bull Bay, his prize a meeting with producer Clancy Eccles, with whom he recorded his first song, \"God Made the Sea and the Sun\", the following year. The single didn't sell well, and disappointed with the lack of promotion from Eccles, he moved on to Rupie Edwards, who produced Clarke's first hits in 1973, with \"Everyday Wondering\" and \"Julie\". In 1974, Clarke moved on again, recording \"Jump Back Baby\" for Glen Brown, before beginning a long association with Bunny Lee and his band The Aggrovators in 1974. \"None Shall Escape the Judgement\" was an immediate success and became the title track on Clarke's debut album. \n\nClarke was named Artist of the Year in Jamaica in both 1975 and 1976, and became one of the most popular singers on the island, mixing original songs with covers of popular reggae songs by other artists, and mixing roots and lovers-themed material. Many of Clarke's songs concern his faith as a Rasta and the beliefs of the Rastafari movement, including anti-violence (as on \"Let Go Violence\") and legalization of marijuana (\"Legalize It\"). He helped define the \"Flying Cymbals\" period that preceded the \"Roots Rockers\" sound of the mid- to late 1970s. Clarke was one of the first Jamaican artists signed to Virgin Records' Frontline subsidiary in 1976, releasing the albums ''Authorized Version'' and ''Rockers Time Now'' on the label. Clarke enjoyed further hits in the early 1980s with producer S Douglas, before working again with Lee. His popularity in Jamaica, however, declined, and he relocated to London in 1983, recording with Mad Professor, as well as further recordings for Jamaican producers King Tubby, Errol Thompson, and Prince Jammy. He has since occasionally reappeared with new material - ''Rasta Nuh Fear'' in 1992, and ''Rock With Me'' in 1997 - and continues to tour regularly. His song \"None Shall Escape the Judgement\" was featured on the Trojan roots compilations.\n\nClarke is known for his so-called \"African Roots\" or knee-length dreadlocks, which, when performing live, he frequently conceals inside a large hat. At the climax of his concert, he removes his hat, revealing his \"African Roots\" to the audience.\n\nHe set up his own Hit Machine label, his first album on the label being ''Jamaica 50 Johnny Clarke Sing Then Dub Them'', released in 2012 to coincide with the 50th anniversary of Jamaican independence.\n" "Studio albums" "*''None Shall Escape'' (1974) Total Sounds\n*''Moving Out'' (1975) Total Sounds\n*''Enter Into His Gates With Praise'' (1975)\n*''Sings In Fine Style'' (1975)\n*''I'm Gonna Put It On'' (1975) Vulcan\n*''No Woman No Cry'' (1976) Total Sounds\n*''Authorised Version'' (1976) Frontline\n*''Rocker's Time Now'' (1976) Frontline\n*''Don't Stay Out Late'' (1976) Paradise\n*''Up Park Camp'' (1977) Justice\n*''Girl I Love You'' (1977) Justice\n*''Sweet Conversation'' (1978) Third World\n*''King of the Arena'' (1978) Third World\n*''Satisfaction'' (1979) Third World\n*''Down In a Babylon'' (1980) Cha Cha\n*''I Man Come Again'' (1982) Black Music\n*''Yard Style'' (1983) Ariwa\n*''Reggae Party'' (1984)\n*''Sly & Robbie Present the Best of Johnny Clarke'' (1985) Vista Sounds\n*''Give Thanks'' (1985) Ariwa\n*''Enter into His Gates with praise'' (1989) Attack\n*''Rasta Nuh Fear'' (1992) Sonic Sounds\n*''Don't trouble trouble'' (1994) Attack\n*''Rock With Me'' (1997)\n*''Reggae Heights'' (2003) Mafia & Fluxy\n*''Jamaica 50 Johnny Clarke Sing Then Dub Them'' (2012), Hit Machine\n" "References" "\n" "External links" "* Johnny Clarke at Roots Archives\n* Interview by Peter I\n* Jah Rebel interview\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n"

"Joseph Armone" "Introduction" "\n\n'''Joseph \"Piney\" Armone''', also known as '''Shorty''', (September 13, 1917 \u2013 February 23, 1992) was a gangster in the Gambino crime family who served as underboss.\n" "Biography" "\n===Background===\nBorn on the Upper East Side, Manhattan, Armone earned his nickname \"Piney\" in the 1930s by extorting money from Christmas tree vendors. He was the younger brother of mobster Stephen Armone, an early member of the Mangano crime family, forerunner of the Gambino family. Armone married Josephine DiQuarto and was the father of two children. Josephine is a relative of Genovese crime family capo Dominick DiQuarto. He is an uncle to Gambino crime family capo Joseph (Joey The Blonde) Giordano. A devoted family man, Joseph Armone stayed away from mistresses and often took his wife out for dinner. Armone and his family lived in Brooklyn.\n\nArmone wore thick glasses and had an arthritic limp in his leg from an ancient gunshot wound. Armone rarely cursed; his speech, while not grammatical, had a high-flown formality once described as \"Mob Shakespearean\". He believed in omerta, the Cosa Nostra code of silence, was straightforward and direct, and highly trusted in mob circles. Armone was also respectful and polite to any Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) agents he encountered. Armone's arrest record included robbery, felonious assault, homicide, and narcotics violations.\n\n===Early criminal career===\nArmone followed his brother into the Mangano family. By the time Albert \"Mad Hatter\" Anastasia took over the family, he had become one of the family's major earners. In 1957, underboss Joseph Biondo allegedly picked Armone and two other family mobsters to kill Anastasia. However, before the attack could take place, Armone was arrested on a narcotics charge and sent to jail. Biondo allegedly replaced Armone with his brother Stephen and the hitmen killed Anastasia. However, other accounts suggest that Profaci crime family capo Joe Gallo and his crew members were responsible for the Anastasia murder.\n\nIn 1964, Armone survived an assassination attempt. Armone was in a Manhattan bar when a gunman shot him five times at point blank range.\n\nOn October 1, 1964, Armone and 11 other mobsters were indicted in what became the French Connection case. They were accused of transporting $20 million of heroin from 1956 to 1965 from France to the U.S. using sailors, businessman, and a diplomat as drug couriers. During the trial, one of the jurors was approached outside the courthouse by Patricia DeAlesandro, a former Playboy bunny and a friend of Armone. DeAlesandro tried to bribe the juror, but he reported the incident to law enforcement. DeAlesandro was later convicted of bribery and sentenced to five years in prison.\n\nOn June 22, 1965, Armone was convicted of the French Connection charges. In July 1965, Armone was sentenced to 15 years in prison.\n\nAfter serving ten years in prison, Armone was released. When mobster Paul Castellano became family boss, he promoted Armone to caporegime. Mob author and journalist Jerry Capeci would cite Armone's success as an example of the American Mafia disregarding its official ban of dealing drugs.\n\n===Gotti era===\nIn 1985 Armone was recruited by capo John Gotti into a conspiracy to kill Castellano. Gotti already had the support of capo Frank DeCicco and soldiers Sammy Gravano and Robert DiBernardo, but lining up the support of Armone was a critical step in the conspiracy. As a well respected old-timer in the Gambino family, Armone would offer more credibility to the new regime and placate Castellano's supporters. For his part, Armone had a dim view of Castellano as a gangster and saw Gotti's coup as a final chance to rise to a leadership role in the family.\n\nThat chance came in April 1986, when Gotti's original underboss, Frank DeCicco, was blown up by a remote-controlled bomb. Gotti then appointed Armone as his new underboss and sent him to Florida to supervise Gambino activities there.\n\nOn December 22, 1987, Armone was convicted in New York on charges of racketeering conspiracy involving extortion, bribery and illegal interstate travel to commit bribery. The bribery charge involved a plot from 1981 to 1982 to bribe a government official $20,000 to transfer the son of Gambino consigliere Joseph N. Gallo from a New York state prison to a federal prison. Gallo was also convicted in the trial. At their ages, any sentence imposed on Gallo and Armone would ensure they would die in prison. With this in mind, the judge released Gallo on bail before sentencing, effectively giving him a final Christmas with his family. Armone was offered a similar temporary release, but only on the condition that he publicly admit his role in the family and renounce his ties to it. Gotti, however, had banned Gambino members from taking plea deals that acknowledged the existence of the family, and refused Armone an exception.\n\nOn February 22, 1988, Armone was sentenced to 15 years in federal prison and was fined $820,000.\n\nOn September 24, 1988, in a separate case, Armone was convicted in Florida of extortion, loansharking, and racketeering in Broward County\n\n===Death===\nOn February 23, 1992, Armone died in prison of natural causes. He was buried in the Cemetery of the Resurrection in Staten Island, New York.\n" "In popular culture" "*In the 2001 television movie ''Boss of Bosses'', Joe Armone is portrayed as \"Piney Armone\" by actor Mark Margolis.\n*Armone is portrayed by Dominic Chianese in the 1996 TV film ''Gotti''.\n" "References" "\n*\n*\n" "Further reading" "*O'Brien, Joseph F., and Kurins, Andris, ''Boss of Bosses: The Fall of the Godfather: The FBI and Paul Castellano'', Pocket Books (1993) ISBN 0-671-71541-0\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n"
"Joshua Quagmire" "Introduction" "'''Joshua Quagmire''' (sometimes shortened to '''JQ''') (born 1952) is an American cartoonist for both underground and mainstream comic books, best known for his creation Cutey Bunny.\n" "Biography" "Joshua Quagmire (the name is a pseudonym) was raised in the Los Angeles area, though he has remarked that his grandfather served in the Canadian Forces in World War I; Quagmire has dedicated a story, \"The Last Time I Saw Tommy\", to his grandfather. On the few occasions he has drawn himself into a story, he has not shown his own face. He is a frequent guest at the San Diego Comic Convention.\n\nHis most enduring work has been the comic ''Cutey Bunny'', which was first published in 1982. Cutey Bunny, a furry superheroine and a pastiche of Go Nagai's Cutey Honey, appeared in the self-produced underground comic ''Army Surplus Komikz'' from 1982 to 1985 as well as in Cerebus' Unique Story section. The story, writing, and art style recall not only manga, but the madcap ''MAD Magazine'' and syndicated comic strips of the 1940s and 1950s, together with a burlesque sense of both humor and sexuality. Quagmire uses an \"ensemble cast\" of characters who will tend to show up no matter what the situation or genre; along with Cutey, they include:\n\n* '''Vicky Feldhyser''', a sadomasochistic switch lesbian fox and sometimes-rival secret agent to Cutey, whom she lusts after\n* '''Taffy''', Cutey's little sister\n* '''Fatty Tubbins''', a cat, and Cutey's friend and companion (who is also frequently credited as Quagmire's inker)\n* The '''Space Gophers''', a quintet (or sometimes more) of not exceptionally bright interplanetary-traveling gophers, all of whom are named \"Al\"\n* '''Pandora''', a Scottish-brogued female robot who travels with the Gophers\n* '''Gran'ma Phooby''', Cutey's \"grandmother\", of indeterminate species and dreadful cooking skill\n* '''Heidi''' and '''Etsuko''', a pair of German and Japanese (respectively) scantily clad female elves, typically involved in some nefarious espionage plot\n* The '''Purple Puffle''', an odd creature who appears mainly as a background ornament\n\nIn 1985, the comic was nearly picked up for publishing by Aardvark-Vanaheim, but the deal fell through and Quagmire continued to self-publish.\n\nThere are a few projects which Quagmire has done outside this ensemble, such as the more serious '''CyberFox''' or the more overtly sexual '''Bronco Bunny'''.\n\nQuagmire is also fond of introducing caricatures of real personalities to his comics. Bob Hope and Bing Crosby, in character as they were in the popular \"''Road to...''\" movies, frequently appear to help Cutey Bunny. A frequent adversary is \"Uncle Joe\"\u2014quite obviously Joseph Stalin\u2014and his marionette henchman, \"Howdy Ivan\". And Cutey, as an American secret agent, is often shown taking orders from a doddering Ronald Reagan or a sinister George H. W. Bush. Even fellow comic book writer Chris Claremont appeared in one issue, helping unmask a villain who turned out to be Adolf Hitler in disguise.\n\nAlthough politics was never taboo in Quagmire's comics, they have been more emphasized in his recent works. Typically, he has been even-handed in his treatment\u2014he recounts the tale of a socialist friend of his, who, upon reading an Uncle Joe story, could not determine whether it was for or against socialism and said that it seemed to be \"anti-every ideology\". However, Quagmire has become more pointed in his criticism of George W. Bush and other contemporary leaders based on Quagmire's opposition to war and the current state of world economics and the environment. For example, in a 2004 story, Heidi and Etsuko join the Department of Homeland Security, and are dispatched to the Middle East to search for weapons of mass destruction\u2014and remove the stickers on them which read \"Made in U.S.A.\" However, they succeed only in finding weapons in practically every country in the area ''except'' Iraq.\n\nCurrently Quagmire is publishing an online comic called \"Bunz & Katz\" which began running in 2012. The strip is about two alien scouts, Bunz - an alien who has been altered to look like an anime \"sailor chick\" so as to blend in with \"Dirt's\" defenders, and her henchbot Katz. Send to Earth by the all conquering but now hopelessly obsolete and ancient NegaFleet, the two hapless protagonists attempt to prepare the way for Earth's destruction but things just never seem to work out for them.

"Just Rambling Along" "Introduction" "\n\n\n'''''Just Rambling Along''''' is a 1918 American short silent comedy film featuring Stan Laurel. The film is Laurel's earliest surviving work and the first project he did with film producer Hal Roach, who later put out a large portion of the Laurel and Hardy films.\n" "Plot" "The story is of a poor young sap who can't seem to get a break. He's thrown out of a diner, and then finds a wallet, which is immediately snatched away from him by a little boy. Stan tries to fight the boy for it, but the boy's father, a police officer, stops him. Stan gives up and walks away.\n\nNext the Pretty Young Lady (Mildred Reardon) woos him and a park bench full of men back into the diner. When the hostess sees Stan, she kicks him out on his rear end. Out on the street, he finds the little boy playing with the wallet. He quickly snatches it away and goes back into the diner. When the hostess tries to throw him out a third time, he shows her that he has money to pay for a meal. Before going to the serving line, he pauses to flirt with the pretty young lady, who promptly throws a drink in his face.\n\nHe then goes up to the serving line where the chef gives him a taste of everything he has to offer that day. Stan stuffs his face, but shakes his head and tells the chef that he doesn't want any of it. He only wants a cup of coffee. When the chef has his back turned, Stan stuffs his pockets and boater full of food.\n\nHe goes back to the pretty young lady's table, sits down, and tries to flirt with her once again. While he's eating, she switches their tickets, and gets up to leave. He follows her to the cashier and realizes he's left with her bill, which he cannot pay. He tries to sneak out of the diner, but he's caught and thrown out on his rear for the third and final time. The film ends with the cop roughing him up as the young boy looks on.\n" "Cast" "* Stan Laurel as Nervy Young Man\n* Mildred Reardon as Pretty Lady\n* Noah Young as Policeman\n* James Parrott as Cook\n* Bud Jamison as Chef\n* Bunny Bixby\n* Mary Burns\n* Harry Clifton\n* Helen Fletcher\n* Max Hamburger\n* Wallace Howe\n* Bert Jefferson\n* Alma Maxim\n* Belle Mitchell\n* Herb Morris\n* Marie Mosquini\n* William Petterson\n* Hazel Powell\n* Lillian Rothchild\n* Adu Sanders\n* Emmy Wallace\n* Dorothea Wolbert\n" "See also" "* List of American films of 1918\n* Stan Laurel filmography\n" "References" "\n" "External links" "*\n* \n \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n"

"Killer Bunnies and the Quest for the Magic Carrot" "Introduction" "\n\n\n\n'''''Killer Bunnies and the Quest for the Magic Carrot''''' is a noncollectible card game created by Jeff Bellinger and graphic design/illustrations by Jonathan Young. Some early artwork for the game was also done by \"Alex\" Alexander, although credit for his contributions are not generally recognized. It is published by Playroom Entertainment.\n" " Gameplay " "The objective of the game is to win, accomplished by acquiring carrot cards, one of which is revealed to be the winning \"magic carrot\" at the end of the game. The player with the winning carrot card must also have an alive bunny in the Bunny Circle. Acquiring carrot cards is done primarily through the use of bunnies, which allow the use of an enormous variety of in-game actions. Thus, the game revolves around playing bunnies and eliminating opposing bunnies through various means (some comical and some violent, but the game art never shows blood or gore).\n\nEach player maintains a hand of five cards and a run cycle of two cards. In each turn, players normally turn the Top Run card face up to play it, then slide the Bottom Run card into the Top Run position, draw a replacement card, and place a card from their hand into the Bottom Run position, thus returning their hand size to five cards.\n\nCards may be one of different varieties: \"Run\" cards are the basic type of cards, while \"Special\" cards are those that may be either played normally, or may be saved for later use when put through the run cycle. \"Very Special\" cards are similar, except that the player may choose to play the card out of turn, immediately from their hand. There are also the \"Play Immediately\" cards, which are played whenever they are drawn. Finally, \"Kaballa Dolla\" cards represent the monetary currency in the game, which may be used to purchase various items at the start of the player's turns.'\n" " Expansions " "''Killer Bunnies'' consists of a 110-card starter deck, as well as Cabbage and Water cards, and 6 twelve-sided dice. Booster sets containing 55 additional cards and other equipment have been released, adding to the complexity of the game. As of the Epsilon revision of the game, ''Killer Bunnies'' includes the first booster set. Due to its nature as a noncollectible card game, each expansion relies on gameplay elements found in previous expansions, prompting players to own every previous booster set before acquiring the next one. Some have criticized the piecemeal release, although it is not atypical of collectible card games, to which ''Killer Bunnies'' retains a passing resemblance. However, ''Killer Bunnies'' and its booster decks were originally designed together, with certain components referencing or referring to mechanics found in later booster decks. There are a total of 10 booster decks (not including the Yellow booster which now is included with the Blue starter):\n\n* The '''Blue''' set is the starter deck, and contains twelve Carrot cards, the Kaballa's Market starter card, and 101 cards used in the draw pile. The Blue deck features twenty-five different bunnies (three colors of every type).\n* The '''Yellow''' booster deck adds four additional Carrots to the game. It features yellow and violet bunnies, as well as the first Free Agent! bunny of the game. As of the Epsilon edition of Killer Bunnies, Yellow deck is included with the Blue starter. The combined decks include 12 small cabbage cards, 12 small water cards, and 12 small carrot cards.\n* The '''Red''' booster deck (2003) adds Red Bunnies, which are bunnies that have built-in abilities that additionally benefit the player. This deck also comes with the Rooney's Weapons Emporium starter card, where players can buy used weapons and defense cards. This booster also adds four additional Carrots to the game. Small cards include a cabbage and a water card, as well as 6 defense cards and the 4 small carrot cards. A red dodecahedral die is also included.\n* The '''Violet''' booster deck (2003) adds Specialty Bunnies, which are uncolored bunnies which may only be matched with each other to form Bunny Triplets. This booster adds the last four Carrots to the game and the twenty-sided dice. Another small cabbage and another small water card are included, as well as 6 more defense cards and the last 4 small carrot cards.\n* The '''Orange''' booster deck (2004) adds Weil's Pawn Shop to the game. Players can buy dead bunnies from Weil's Pawn Shop, as well as six different colored \"pawns.\" Pawns allow matching-colored dice to be re-rolled when a player has them in its possession, as well as allowing certain cards to be played twice before discarding. You can also make a bunny triplet with a pawn of any color and two bunnies of that same color. Four additional Specialty Bunnies are featured, as well as two Double Free Agent! bunnies. No small cards are included in this booster.\n* The '''Green''' booster deck (2004) adds Zodiac cards to the game. Players collect Zodiac cards similarly to Carrots, and at the end of the game, but before the Magic Carrot is revealed, one Zodiac card is revealed to be the winning Zodiac symbol, which grants the holder of the respective Zodiac card greater chances of obtaining the Magic Carrot. Half-color bunnies have also been added, where these bunnies may be treated as either of two different colors. 12 small zodiac cards are included, and a 12-sided die featuring the symbols of the zodiac.\n* The '''Twilight White''' booster deck (2005) adds The White Stuff, a twelve-sided white die, whose holder is granted the exclusive use of substituting the die for any unfavorable die roll. Two more pawns, a black and a white pawn, are added.\n* The '''Stainless Steel''' booster deck (2005) adds Super Bunnies, which are more powerful but incur additional consequences if they are removed from play. Also included are 8 defense cards, and a cabbage and a water card. The cabbage and water cards give the player only 1/2 cabbage or 1/2 water, respectively.\n* The '''Perfectly Pink''' booster deck (2006) adds Pink Bunnies, which are similar to Red Bunnies, but are more powerful. It also adds Ranks which must be assigned to bunnies, allowing the player owning the highest-ranked Bunny a special privilege.\n* The '''Wacky Khaki''' booster deck (2006) adds additional Ranks into the game.\n* The '''Ominous Onyx''' booster deck (2007) adds Mysterious Places to the game. Players can play Mysterious Place cards, and during the game, the last player to draw one is granted the privilege of deciding the destiny of cards with a yellow ball with a red stripe in the picture. At the end of the game before the Winning Zodiac is revealed, the small Mysterious Place deck is inspected, and the player holding the Mysterious Place which matches the one at the bottom of the deck may take all Zodiacs of one color/type from any opponents. This booster deck includes 110 cards.\n* The '''Chocolate''' booster deck (2010) adds 55 cards including the previously released (at conventions) Psi and Omega booster cards.\nIn addition, \"Bunny Blanks\" are also available, which allow players to create their own cards. Limited edition \"Omega series\" cards have also been released, providing a collectible aspect to the game. The \"Psi series\" cards, included with the Bunny Blanks, are also a second series of collectible ''Killer Bunnies'' cards.\n" "Kids Game" "In 2004, the kids version of ''Killer Bunnies'', ''Kinder Bunnies: Their First Adventure'', was released. It is a very simplified and largely nonviolent game, created for children as young as five years old. The Sky Blue Starter Deck has very little reading and just a series of basic cards. The Sunshine Yellow Booster Deck (included in the same box as the Starter Deck) requires more reading and may not be suitable for the younger kids. There are no other booster decks available for this game. However the Kinder Bunnies cards can also be added to the Killer Bunnies cards as an eleventh booster deck.\n" " Criticism " "The most common criticism of ''Killer Bunnies'' is that the game is ultimately a lottery, with the winner being determined by the random choosing of the Magic Carrot, which is set at the start of the game. Because of this, a player consistently outclassed through the game can still win as long as a single bunny and a single carrot card is retained. Fans of ''Killer Bunnies'' contend that this random element keeps the game exciting even when one player's early card draws leave him in a poor position. It also allows less skilled or serious players to enjoy a game against more experienced players. Others have complained about the complexity of ''Killer Bunnies'', especially with the booster packs added to the game.\n\nThere are, however, alternate rules that allow for a non-random endgame. Points are assigned for each Carrot that a player has acquired, and the \"Magic Carrot\" is worth a slightly higher point value. This way, a player with only the Magic Carrot can still be beaten by a player that has dominated the game with collecting many Carrots.\n" " Sequels " "Sequels to the original ''Killer Bunnies'' game have been released. ''Killer Bunnies and the Journey to Jupiter'' was released in October 2008. There is also a third game in the series by the name of ''Killer Bunnies and the Ultimate Odyssey'' that was released in 2010. Odyssey, like the others, is non-collectible and constructible. However, in order to fulfill players' desires for less randomness, it involves players building their own unique decks to draw from, instead of drawing from a central pile. Playroom Entertainment has also released ''Killer Bunnies and the Conquest of the Magic Carrot''. It is a new version of the original and is completely compatible with the Quest for the Magic Carrot.\n" "References" "\n" " External links " "* Official ''Killer Bunnies'' website\n* Official ''Playroom Entertainment'' website\n* ''Magic Carrot'' Fan site\n* ''Magic Carrot'' Message Board\n*\n\n\n"
"Kyle Carr" "Introduction" "\n'''Christopher Kyle Carr''' (born September 15, 1986) is an American short track speed skater who has qualified for the 2014 Winter Olympics. The son of a nationally ranked skater, Carr grew up roller skating. In 2001, he switched from inline speed skating to short track. While still in high school, he moved to Marquette, Michigan to further his training.\n\nCarr made the 2005 Junior World Championships, and the senior World Cup team for the 2005\u201306 season. He broke his ankle at the 2006 Junior World Team trials and missed the 2006 Olympic Trials. Following surgery and rehab, he returned to skating but found he had lost much of his speed. After several tough years, he made the 2009\u201310 World Cup Team. Carr made his first World Championships in the spring, but missed the 2010 Olympics by a hundredth of a second. He had been planning to retire after the season, but decided to give himself another four years to fulfill his Olympic dream.\n\nCarr made the World Cup team every year from 2010\u201313 and helped the United States set the national relay record. In 2011, he won a bronze at the World Championships as part of the relay team. Carr finished fourth overall at the Olympic Trials, qualifying for the 2014 Olympics in Sochi, Russia. He plans to retire after the games and finish his degree in exercise science.\n" "Early life" "Christopher Kyle Carr was born September 15, 1986 in Hunterdon County, New Jersey to mother Lisa (n\u00e9e Godown, now Cervantes) and father Chris. Kyle Carr's mother was a nationally ranked skater. His grandfather, George Carr, worked at the Frenchtown Roller Rink for 30 years where Kyle and future Olympic teammate Chris Creveling spent much of their early roller skating careers.\n\nCarr began skating at age one. At age three, he had his first roller skating competition, and at age seven he boldly told his mother that he was going to make the Olympics. At age thirteen, he broke his wrist while inline skating. Shortly thereafter, coach Shawn Walb introduced Carr to ice short track speed skating. Carr fell in love with the new sport and gave up inline skating in 2001. After his junior year of high school at Governor Mifflin, he moved to Marquette, Michigan in 2004 to further his training at the US Olympic Education Center.\n" "Skating career" "Kyle Carr competing as a short track skater. \nCarr participated in the 2005 Junior World Championships. In the fall, he made the senior World Cup team, and won a gold medal in Slovakia. However, Carr broke his ankle at the 2006 Junior World Team trials and was unable to compete at the 2006 Olympic Trials. He moved to Peachtree City, Georgia, where his mother was living, for surgery and rehabilitation. After two surgeries and eight months of rehab, he was ready to return to the ice. When he did, he found he was a considerably slower skater and considered quitting. His high school sweetheart, Siobhan O'Rourke, moved to Marquette and Carr's career turned around thanks to her support.\n\nCarr made the 2009\u201310 United States World Cup Team, but with O'Rourke graduating from college in 2010, Carr was planning to give up speed skating and \"become an adult\" at the end of the season. He placed third in the 500 meters at the National Championships, qualified for his first World Championships, and was offered the opportunity to train full-time with the National Team. He and O'Rourke moved to Salt Lake City to give Carr's Olympic dream one last shot. Carr missed the 2010 Olympic team by a hundredth of a second. In 2011, he won a bronze medal at the World Championship as part of the US relay team. In 2012, he placed third in the men's time trial and the National Championships. Carr has made the World Cup team each year from 2010\u201313; he has won six World Cup medals in total \u2013 one gold, two silver, and two bronze, all for relay events.\n\nAt the 2014 Olympic Trials, Carr made the 500 meter finals after winning his semifinal. He finished fourth in the event, and followed in up with a fifth-place finish in the 1500. On the final day of the Trials, he fell in the semifinals of the 1000 meters and was disqualified. Frustrated, he approached his coach who informed him that the fall did not matter as Carr already had enough points to make the United States' Olympic Team. \"At that point, all that frustration and anxiety turned into happiness and gratitude\", Carr recalled. Carr finished fourth overall and is expected to compete in the men's relay at the Olympics. Thanks to the anonymous donation of an Atlanta-area businessman through GoFundMe, Carr will be joined in Sochi, Russia, site of the 2014 Olympic games, by his mother. Previously, Carr, like many of his teammates, used the crowd funding website to help cover his living expenses.\n\nCarr is coached by national coach Stephen Gough, as well as his club coaches: Anthony Barthell and Alex Izykowski. Carr plans to retire after the Olympics. \"I'm at an age now where I kind of want to progress with my life\", he said. \"I'd love to speedskate forever, but it doesn't pay the bills.\" After retiring, he plans to finish his degree in exercise science and work with elite athletes on their training regimens.\n\nAs of 2014, Carr is part of the team that holds the national record in the 3000 meter relay.\n" "Personal life" "Carr is engaged to longtime girlfriend Siobhan O'Rourke. The wedding date was originally set for September 5, 2014, but was moved to September 19 so that Carr's teammate and best friend J.R. Celski could attend. Carr has a younger sister, Bethany Camp.\n\nCarr has a pet dog, cat, and bunny. In his free time, he likes to play basketball and ride his bike. He enjoys music with a strong beat, including hip hop and techno. During the off-season, Carr works in commercial real estate. He has volunteered with Operation Christmas Child and has participated in National Multiple Sclerosis Society fundraisers. Carr lists basketball player LeBron James as the greatest influence on his life because of the adversity James overcame to win multiple NBA Championships.\n" "References" "\n" "External links" "* Personal webpage of Kyle Carr\n* Official profile at US Speedskating\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n"

"Leslie Kong" "Introduction" "\n\n\n'''Leslie Kong''' (1933 \u2013 9 August 1971) was an influential Chinese-Jamaican reggae producer.\n" "Career" "Leslie and his two older brothers Cecil and Lloyd ran a restaurant, ice cream parlour and record shop called Beverley's in Orange Street, Kingston. In 1961, he encountered a young Jimmy Cliff outside of his shop singing a song he had written called \"Dearest Beverley,\" in the hopes that the mention of the establishment would convince Kong to record him. This encounter led Kong to launch his own record label, Beverley's, and to record Cliff's song, launching Cliff's career in the process.\n\nCliff took on an A&R role for the label, and brought Bob Marley to Kong's attention. In 1962, Kong recorded Marley's first single: \"One Cup of Coffee\" and \"Judge Not\", and Jimmy Cliff's first hit, \"Miss Jamaica\". Kong, known in Jamaican music circles as \"the Chinaman\", quickly established himself as the island's leading producer of local popular music. Throughout the 1960s Kong kept recording many leading Jamaican artists from ska to reggae through rocksteady including Joe Higgs, Desmond Dekker, Toots & the Maytals, Derrick Morgan, John Holt and Stranger Cole. A wise businessman, Kong was one of the original shareholders in Island Records along with Chris Blackwell and Australian engineer Graeme Goodall. Starting in 1963 Kong began licensing ska recordings to Blackwell for release in the UK on Island's Black Swan imprint. After Blackwell bought out Kong and Goodall's share in Island, in 1967 Kong formed a second partnership with Graeme Goodall, who created the Pyramid label in the UK for the successful release of Kong's rocksteady and early reggae productions. When Pyramid folded in 1969, the licensing successes continued with Trojan Records.\n\nKong is known for being the first Jamaican producer to get international hits with long-time collaborator Desmond Dekker, in 1967 with \"007 (Shanty Town)\" and, above all, in 1969 with \"Israelites\" which topped the UK Singles Chart in April 1969 and went to number nine on the US charts in July 1969, selling over two million copies. During the early reggae period, he worked with Bob Marley and The Wailers (''The Best of the Wailers'') and enjoyed several successful hits with The Pioneers' \"Long Shot Kick The Bucket\", and The Melodians' \"Rivers of Babylon\" and \"Sweet Sensation\". His works with The Maytals also led to many hits including \"54-46 That's My Number\" and the UK charting single \"Monkey Man\". Matthew Sherman explains the relationship between The Maytals and Leslie Kong as, \"From '69 to '71, Toots (Toots Hibbert) could do no wrong recording for Leslie Kong. With the consistent nucleus of musicians, the Beverley's All-Stars (Jackie Jackson, Winston Wright, Hux Brown, Rad Bryan, Paul Douglas and Winston Grennan) and the Maytals\u2019 brilliant harmonizing, Toots wrote and sang his unmistakable voice about every subject imaginable.\"\n\nOther vocalists who recorded for him and the Beverley's label include Ken Boothe, Bruce Ruffin, The Gaylads and Delroy Wilson. Ex-Skatalites saxophonist Roland Alphonso cut numerous instrumentals for Kong during the rocksteady period. When reggae arrived in late 1968, lead instrumental duties were handled by organists Ansell Collins and Winston Wright.\n\nKong's plans to release a compilation album of tracks from the singles he produced by the Wailers led to Bunny Wailer allegedly threatening Kong with a curse, telling him that if he issued the record he would die. Kong went ahead with the release in 1970.\n\nKong died of a heart attack, aged 38, in August 1971.\n" "Discography" "* Various Artists \u2013 ''Original Reggae Hot Shots'' \u2013 1969 \u2013 Beverley's/Trojan (1975)\n* Various Artists \u2013 ''King Size Reggae'' \u2013 1970 \u2013 Beverley's\n* Various Artists \u2013 ''Golden Hits by the Greats'' \u2013 1970 \u2013 Beverley's\n* Various Artists \u2013 ''Reggae Chartbusters'' \u2013 1970 \u2013 Beverley's\n* Various Artists \u2013 ''King Size Reggae'' \u2013 1970 \u2013 Trojan Records\n* Various Artists \u2013 ''Hot Shots of Reggae'' \u2013 1970 \u2013 Trojan Records\n* Various Artists \u2013 ''Best of Beverley's Records 1969\u20131970'' \u2013 Trojan Records (1981)\n* Various Artists \u2013 ''The Best of Beverley's Records or Masterpieces From The Works of Leslie Kong'' \u2013 Island Records/Trojan (1981)\n* Various Artists \u2013 ''The King Kong Compilation'' \u2013 Island Records (1981)\n* Various Artists \u2013 ''Leslie Kong's Connection Vol 01 \u2013 1969\u20131971'' \u2013 Jet Set Records\n* Various Artists \u2013 ''Leslie Kong's Connection Vol 02 \u2013 1969\u20131971''' \u2013 Jet Set Records\n" "References" "\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n"
"Lesson 1 (E-girls album)" "Introduction" "\n\n\n'''''Lesson 1''''' is the debut studio album of the Japanese super girl group E-girls. It was released on April 17, 2013 in two different editions.\n" "Background" "The album was announced on February 26, via the group and LDH official websites. It was revealed the album prices and some details about the editions, being released in two editions: limited with a DVD and a regular CD only. In March 18, jacket covers and track list were revealed, the CD including fourteen tracks and DVD including all music videos released up to date and a bonus live video from EXILE's \"EXILE Live Tour 2011 Tower of Wish ~Negai no Tou~\". The album was also put in pre-order in Japan's ''iTunes Store'', including an acoustic version of the song \"Love Letter\" as a special pre-order track only. The first press of the CD+DVD edition includes a 64-page photobook. First presses of both editions feature a special packaging and include a card with a serial code which give access to a free wallpaper download though their official website. If codes of the album and their previous release, \"Candy Smile\", are entered, the page also offers the download for an unreleased song.\n" "Composition" "The album is composed by fourteen tracks. It includes three new tracks: \"Loving Bell\", \"Shiny Girls\" and \"Take it Easy!\", all singles released up to date and some b-sides included on the singles.\n" "Singles" "Five songs from the album were released as singles:\n\nThe first and debut single of the group, \"Celebration!\", was released in December 28, 2011. The song featured all members from the groups Dream (with former member Sayaka), Happiness (with former member Mimu) and Flower. The single peaked at number seven in ''Oricon'''s weekly chart with 18,720 copies sold in the first week.\n\nThe second single, \"One Two Three\", was released in April 18, 2012. The song featured all members from the groups again but without Dream's Sayaka, who withdrawn from the group in March 2012 and Happiness' Mimu, who announced hiatus due to her studies. It is also the first single featuring the dancers Anna Suda and Risa Ikuta, both from EGD (a dance group of EXPG (EXILE' Dance Academy)). A special version of the b-side, \"Tadaima!\", was also included on the album. It peaked at number twelve in ''Oricon'' weekly chart, selling 18,123 copies in the first week. At the date, it is the group's lowest selling single.\n\nThe third single, \"Follow Me\", was released in October 3, 2012. Due to the addiction of the non-debuted group Bunny and another member from EGD, the number of members increased to 32, which made LDH lead to a new system for the release of the single where the girls were required to undergo a period of training and afterwards, the girls who excelled and fit the image of the single would be chosen to participate. Sixteen members, four vocalists and twelve performers, from all five groups included on E-Girls were chosen for this single. All songs from the single were included on the album. It peaked at number two in ''Oricon'''s weekly chart, selling with 30,008 copies in the first week. Although the selling numbers of the physical single being below compared to the single \"The Never Ending Story\", it is classified as the most successful single of the group at the date due to its digital performance (250 000 downloads).\n\nThe fourth single, \"The Never Ending Story\", was released in February 20, 2013. The song is a cover of Limahl's \"The NeverEnding Story\". In early 2012 three members from Bunny left the group and the remaining twenty-nine members (except Happiness' Mayu, who went to a hiatus) were included on the single. The b-side, \"Just in Love\", was first released digitally in December 26, 2012, and later included on the single. The song and its music video were included on the album. It peaked number two in ''Oricon'' weekly chart, selling 40,055 copies in its first week. It is currently the best selling single of the group physically.\n\nThe fifth and final single, \"Candy Smile\", was released in March 13, 2013. The song features twelve members, four vocalists and eight performers, from all twenty-eight members. A special version of the b-side, \"Love Letter\", was included on the album. It peaked at number six in ''Oricon'' weekly chart, selling 34,764 copies in its first week.\n" "Track listing" "\n\n\n" "Personnel" "*Credits are listed on E-Girls official website and in the album's

except for Brother and Sister's room. The problem is that despite their attempt to clean their room whenever they want, the cubs spend more time arguing over who-does-what and moving each other's stuff than cleaning within any 15-minute period, leaving Mama to clean it up all by herself. Having finally had enough of this, she suddenly decides upon throwing every item in the room away in the trash in order to prevent any future cleanups, much to the horror of the cubs. The commotion brings Papa into the scene, who calls a family meeting and realizes that Brother and Sister need some toy boxes and organizational tools. And so, everyone pitches in to clean up the cubs' messy room.\n\n====''The Berenstain Bears Lend a Helping Hand''====\nBrother and Sister are always fighting over stuff such as who has the best spot on the sofa in front of the TV, who has the biggest slice of cake, who will get more jellybeans, etc. Mama and Papa are worried, as they realize that their cubs are getting greedy. Both of them devise a plan to make them help others instead of themselves. One day while leaving the supermarket, Mama and the cubs bump into old Mrs. McGrizzle. Mama makes the reluctant cubs put Mrs. McGrizzle's groceries away, while she and McGrizzle talk about the cubs behavior. They both come up with an idea that both of the cubs are going to clean out McGrizzle's attic, much to the cubs dismay. However, the cubs find some very interesting stuff in the attic, such as an antique Barbie and old baseball cards. In the end, Brother and sister run a garage sale of all of the stuff Mrs. McGrizzle wanted to throw away, and learn their lesson.\n\n====''The Berenstain Bears Get in A Fight''====\nOn most sunny days, Brother and Sister always wake up in a good mood, taking turns when going to the bathroom, saying \"Please\" and \"Thank you\" at breakfast, sitting together on the school bus, working on their backyard tree house together, and sharing their toys. But one gray and stormy morning, they get into a big fight when Sister lets her feet dangle down in front of Brother's face. Sister, agitated, rushes off to the bathroom and takes a long time using the bathroom, aggravating their parents. They no longer say \"please\" or \"thank you\" at breakfast, they sit in different seats on the school bus, and draw a line down the middle of their tree house. They even take back the toys they usually shared during their argument. Papa becomes fed up with their fighting, but ultimately gets pulled into the dispute. Mama finally gets the others to calm down, then explains why the cubs began fighting. She says that it's alright for some people to fight, especially folks who love each other very much. In the end, Brother and Sister make up and get along well the next day.\n\n====''The Berenstain Bears Go to Camp''====\nSummer vacation has come, but there is not much to do now that school is out. Mama enrolls the cubs in a day camp. The cubs show concern about being in a new place, especially outdoors so much. The owner of the camp, Grizzly Bob, is friendly and has many sports and activities for the cubs. On the first day, Grizzly Bob takes the group atop Spook Hill, which is a tough time for the cubs, and shows them Skull Rock, which overlooks Bear Country and where they will have an overnight camp out at the end of the summer. Sister, who has never been away from home overnight, is concerned. The later generic days prove fruitful for the cubs, who enjoy sports, crafts and games. At the end of the summer, the cubs have their overnight camp out, and the hike up Spook Hill is easier as they are in better shape. Grizzly Bob tells the cubs Indian lore and they enjoy their powwow and night under the stars, even Sister. The following day is the final day of camp, marked by a sports festival. Brother won a trophy for finishing second in the dash, and Sister won medals for her homespun bead belt and the dead bear's float. With autumn approaching, soon school will be in session. Emboldened by her experience at camp, Sister is ready for school and the new adventures it will bring.\n\n====''The Berenstain Bears: Baby Makes Five''====\nThe Bear Family just had a new member of the family come. The new members name is Baby Honey, who gains attention very quickly. However, Sister is annoyed by the attention Honey gets, as it is putting her out of the spotlight. Sister starts acting grumpy and holds a grudge on Honey. She says that Honey is not good at anything instead of wetting and filling diapers, and does not include Honey in a drawing of her family. Mama realizes that Sister is jealous, and decides to play Sisters old baby videos. Sister eventually realizes that she was once like Baby Honey. She then includes Baby Honey in the family photo, and grows fond of her. \n\n====''The Berenstain Bears In The Dark''====\nBrother and Sister often borrow books from the local library. Sister prefers books about ecology and storybooks. While Brother has enjoyed those too, he is maturing and taking an interest in mystery novels. Brother checks out a book called ''The Case of the Crying Cave'', which looks eerie. During the evening when the entire Bear family is reading in the den, Sister finishes her book and accepts Brother's offer to read the mystery to her. The book is about three Bear Scouts who were hiking in the mountains and came upon a cave that looked like a human face. When the cave emitted a ghostly noise, it scared the three Scouts away! Mama interrupts, saying it is time for bed. That night, heavy autumn winds occur, which give the house a pallor. Brother decides to have some fun at Sister's expense by making spooky noises similar to the creepy cave. This causes a fighting cycle: Sister cries out for Mama and Papa, who come in and leave the light on. But Brother protests he will not sleep unless it is dark so he turns off the light, causing Sister to cry out for her parents, who return and reactivate the light switch, which returns to Brother turning off the lights and Sister wailing. The following morning, the entire Bear family is tired to do anything from lack of sleep and the fracas last night, so Papa decides to help Sister with her problem. He takes Sister up to the attic, where it is dark, and says that oftentimes one's imagination can construct things not always as they seem. Sister wishes she did not have one so she would never be scared, but Papa says that is ludicrous, for without imagination one would be unable to handle complex science problems, paint pictures, write stories, and many of the more rich parts of the world. Sister first sees a ghost, only to be a pile of old clothes when Papa shines the light on it. Sister then sees an owl; which Papa says is true, but a plaster owl statue he won at a carnival many years ago. Mama also helps Sister out by having her inherit a night light in the form of a lighthouse she owned when she was a cub; signifying there is light no matter how dark it seems, just like a lighthouse for sailors at sea. That evening, Brother offers to complete the unfinished reading of ''The Case of the Crying Cave'' only if Sister will not freak out. Sister, better focused after Papa's lesson, agrees. Brother's mystery book concludes by saying that the three Scouts dropped their backpacks and needed to go back for them; ergo they needed to confront their fears. They go inside the cave to solve the mystery; an opening in the alcove caused the wind to blow over it making the piercing noise. After she scares Brother by telling him she was hoping the howling in the cave turned out to be a scary monster and makes a monster face at him, Sister sleeps peacefully, thanks to Papa's lesson and Mama's night light. However, Brother hears the call of the owl outside the window, and decides that he has had enough of mysteries for a while.\n\n====''The Berenstain Bears Visit the Dentist''====\nSister gets her first loose tooth. When she informs Mama, she says that she will need to see Dr. Bearson, the dentist. Brother says Dr. Bearson will yank it out with his yankers, only to be chided by Mama for scaring Sister and says Dr. Bearson is a good doctor who handles dental problems appropriately. Mama takes both cubs to Dr. Bearson, with Brother being his first patient. Brother turns out to have a cavity! Dr. Bearson recommends filling it, but says it's only a baby tooth and not overly serious. Although Brother is scared of this, the procedure turns out to be a gentle and painless routine. Sister is the second patient and she informs the dentist about her loose tooth. Sister is scared that he will use his yankers to pull it out, but he uses a piece of gauze to remove it instead, using little force save for a gentle tug. Dr. Bearson gives the tooth to Sister to take home, and she puts it under her pillow, discovering the next morning that she has received money from the tooth fairy in exchange for it.\n\n====''The Berenstain Bears and Too Much TV''====\nMama realizes that all Brother, Sister, and Papa do when at home is watch television, which seems to make everyone lazy. She tells the cubs that there would be no more TV for a week and turns the TV off. Papa thinks that it is a good idea, since he says that homework, fresh air, sunshine and exercise are also part of life, but is upset when Mama says that it applies to the entire family. Mama gives Papa alternatives to TV such as the newspaper to find out what is going on in Bear Country. Initially, the cubs and Papa are worried about boredom, but throughout the week they learn that there are other ways to enjoy themselves, even something as simple as sitting and relaxing for starters. While the cubs are doing their homework and Papa is reading the paper one day of the TV-free week, Sister sees an ad for a TV special. Mama says no TV means no TV and says that nature can present a special on the biggest screen of all, with the Bear family watching the sunset which turns into a stargazing event watching the night sky light up. The Bears also go to the Bear Country Mall where Sister buys a knitting set and Brother a Rubik's Cube, but Papa tries sneaking into an electronics store to get a quick fix of TV. At dinner of the final day of the no TV week, Mama says she does not hate TV, only that the cubs were sitting in front of it like lumps. Brother says that tomorrow he will watch TV all day, as does Papa and Sister. However, the only one who sits in front of the TV for a long time is Papa, with Sister knitting a tiny rug and Brother solving his cube puzzle. Finally, even Papa turns the TV off when he sees the pond and grabs his fishing rod to catch a couple of those leaping trout.\n\n====''The Berenstain Bears and Computer Trouble''====\nPapa buys a computer for work such as printing out bills and buying equipment online. However, Brother and Sister keep on entering his workshop to play games on his computer. He buys computers for Brother, Sister, and Mama. Baby Honey also gets a small toy computer to play games on. The whole family gets addicted to their computers, staying on it 24/7. Brother and Sister download games and join social networks with their friends. Mama eventually gets addicted to eBear(a parody of eBay). Papa gets worried, especially when he reads an article in the newspaper about how computers can be bad for young kids such as Brother and Sister. Papa makes a rule in the house, saying that the members of the Bear family cannot go on the computer for more than one hour a day. The plan works out. Brother and Sister have fun with their friends instead of getting cyberbullied, Mama stops using eBear for good, and Honey has more fun with her toys than her computer. Papa also manages to do more work without his computer. The Bear family feel closer without the computer. The next day, the family go out to see a movie. They end up seeing Spiderbear (a parody of Spider-Man). \n====''The Berenstain Bears Meet Santa Bear''====\nMama becomes very concerned and worried about her cubs' behavior after the cubs are so excited for the new Christmas toys and when the mall is already ready for Christmas two days after Thanksgiving. Papa believes that Mama is over-protective about the cubs' behavior because he believes that Brother and Sister are good cubs, but when Brother and Sister find the toys they saw on television commercials it makes them forget the true meaning of Christmas. Sister Bear becomes more excited about getting to meet Santa Bear, but makes a long list of things she wanted for Christmas. Brother warns her that she's getting greedy; he also tells her that Santa has lots of cubs to think about besides Sister, all the cubs in the world, and she becomes nervous. Sister becomes really nervous as to whether or not she's been good enough for Santa's expectations, recalling incidents from previous books. Mama Bear and Papa Bear assure her that she doesn't have to worry, as Santa Bear doesn't expect cubs to be perfect. Sister remembers the true meaning of Christmas and doesn't know how Mama and Papa will get their gifts without meeting Santa Bear, but Brother tells her that presents for Mama and Papa was their job and they secretly get money for Christmas shopping the next day. The next day, as Sister Bear visits Santa Bear, he gives her a coloring book, after she told him what she wanted for Christmas and gave him her list, which is a shorter one that she made. Sister and Brother purchase Mama and Papa great gifts afterwards. On Christmas Eve, Sister asks Papa questions about Santa. Papa tells her that the true meaning of Christmas is giving, and that Santa has an important job. The next day, she and Brother find the things they wanted for Christmas along with Papa and Mama.\n\n====''The Berenstain Bears and Too Much Junk Food''====\nMama notices that her cubs' junk food snacking habits have caught up with them. Papa Bear has also fallen into the bad snack habit as well. Mama Bear decides to put all the sweets and junk food in the freezer, and start her family on a healthy diet. At the grocery store, The Bear family runs into their family doctor, Dr. Grizzly, who commends Mama for a shopping cart full of healthy food but also notices Papa and cubs staring longingly at the candy, so she suggests they drop by her office for some advice. The cubs are initially worried about getting shots, but soon find out she has a presentation about healthy eating habits, specifically how fruits, vegetables, and grains affect the body's performance. As the family leaves, She suggests an exercise plan as well. The family begins their healthy eating and exercise. Eventually, they all get into shape and decide to enter the Bear Country three-mile run. While they didn't finish first, they won a trophy for being the only family where all members completed the run. Papa Bear suggests they open the freezer to celebrate, but decides on the others' suggestions of carrot sticks, nuts and raisins for a snack.\n\n====''The Berenstain Bears Learn About Strangers''====\nBrother is very cautious and wary of strangers while Sister says hello to everyone and everything she meets. Papa Bear shows Sister articles from the newspaper of encounters with strangers gone wrong, such as \"Stranger Bothers Cub\", \"Missing Cub Found\", \"Chief Grizzly Questions Stranger\", and \"Cub Stranger Meeting\". Papa also reads her a story about a sly fox who pretends to be a goose's friend when he invites her over to his den, but eats her in the end in order to tell her why she shouldn't talk to strangers or accept gifts and rides from them. The story only serve to frighten Sister. Unable to sleep, the headlines from the newspaper and parts of the \"Silly Goose and Wily Fox\" story flash through Sister's head. The next day, Sister has an askew view that anyone she does not know is a stranger, and as such an automatic criminal. Seeing the effect Papa's lesson had on Sister, Mama Bear explains that not every stranger is an immediate kidnapper and relates a lesson she was taught when she was young: \"There are always a few bad apples in every barrel\". Sister picks up an apple that is bumpy on the outside thinking it is a \"bad apple\" while on the inside it is fine. Mama shows an apple with a normal external appearance but inside it is infested with worms. Sister understands the difference and realizes she can still be friendly but must use her common sense when it comes to people she doesn't know. She feels better and goes with Brother to the town green as he launches his pusher plane. Sister relaxes and enjoys looking for wildflowers. Just as they are about to go home, an unknown bear drives up with a radio-controlled plane that grabs Brother's attention. The stranger tells Brother he plans on following his plane in his car and invites Brother to come along. Sister intervenes, stopping him from accepting the offer. Brother is annoyed and believes Sister has become too paranoid about strangers then is further angered when Papa scolds him. Papa explains that Sister was not tattling about something minor, but a situation that could have been very dangerous. After calming down, Brother thanks Sister for looking out for him. Sister asks Mama if the stranger who owned the radio airplane was a crook, Mama replies that chances are he was law-abiding and probably not a \"bad apple\".\n\nRules for children on strangers are posted on the last page.\n\n====''The Berenstain Bears Forget Their Manners''====\nThe family has gotten into a habit of forgetting their manners, being rude, and impolite, frustrating Mama. It starts out with simple issues, such as not using \"please\" or \"thank you\", then escalating into pushing and shoving, then being rude at meals, and making messes with food fights. Mama is at the end of her rope, and she even feels Papa is part of the problem as he corrects the cubs by shouting and banging his fist. Mama devises a politeness plan, which lists a series of impolite behaviors that gets punished by an extra chore. Brother and Sister decide to come up with a plan of their own by being super polite, hoping that Mama will get fed up with the whole thing, but this fails, and the cubs soon are in a habit of simply being courteous to one another. However, Papa is the one who gets fed up; as he is older and more used to his habits, he has to do many chores to break his habit, causing him to grouse about Mama's plan.\n\nOne day, the family is out shopping, to which Papa says he is glad to be out of the house \"and away from that Politeness Plan\", but Mama says that manners matter in public as well. While at the supermarket, Papa points out that one must also have common sense along with manners, such as letting everyone go ahead of you in line means you will be held up for a very long time; he also adds that there may be certain times when one has to interrupt. He sees a lady with a broken bottle and politely interrupts her in order to bring it to her attention and keep her groceries from being spoiled, and she thanks Papa. \n\nWhile returning home, the Bears' car rear ends another car, which is owned by a big bear, who is at first angry with Papa; however, he is suddenly reminded of his own manners when seeing how polite Papa is. He then explains that he had stopped short because a mama duck and her ducklings had crossed in front of him. Fortunately, neither car was damaged. As the Bears return home, they reflect how good manners not only make life easier to live by, but more relaxing.\n\n====''The Berenstain Bears and the Sitter''====\nMama and Papa get notice of a meeting at a town hall, which presents a problem as the cubs cannot be unattended. So they see about the usual deal of staying with Gramps and Gran as they have done before. The problem is, Gramps and Gran also are going to the meeting, as are other family members, Aunt Maude, and Cousin Wilbur. Mama finds someone not attending the meeting, a neighbor named Mrs. Grizzle. Brother and Sister have never had anyone outside the family stay with them, and shudder as Mrs. Grizzle has the reputation amongst all their friends as the neighborhood grouch; Brother recalling a time his kite accidentally bopped her and Sister trampling her flower garden when she had been playing ball. Also, her size is imposing as a large woman; only Papa Bear is taller than Mrs. Grizzle (but barely). The cubs fear she will be dictatorial and kid-hating, but Mama says that is ludicrous, Mrs. Grizzle raised seven cubs of her own and knows how to handle cubs. Sister accepts this, but Brother resolves to himself he will keep away from the sitter. Mrs. Grizzle arrives at the Bear residence in a jolly mood, and shows the cubs her work bag, which she uses whenever she had a babysitting job. Inside the bag are some odds and ends such as ball of twine and deck of cards; then she does a couple of tricks and plays some card games with them. When bedtime rolls around, Mrs. Grizzle helps the cubs scrub their backs in the bathtub (Brother Bear changing his mind about staying away from the sitter), she tucks them in bed and reads Sister a bedtime story. When Mama and Papa arrive home, they are glad to see a peaceful home and the cubs asleep. Eventually the cubs come to like Mrs. Grizzle, and say that although there were future times Mama and Papa went off from home, that Mrs. Grizzle was the memorable time they were home with a sitter.\n\n====''The Berenstain Bears Show Some Respect''====\nBrother, Sister, Honey, Mama, and Papa join Gramps and Gran on a picnic. When trying to decide where to set it up, however, they all show disrespect to each other. When Papa suggests hosting it in a site, he and his friends did when they were cubs. Brother's opinion is \"That was so 100 years ago... let's go somewhere better.\" When Mama suggests a creek, Sister's opinion is \"It is so dirty, worn down and full of mosquitoes... let's go somewhere better.\" Even Mama and Papa begin to disrespect Gramps and Gran causing Gramps to host a family meeting. After discussing it, everybody apologizes to one another and ultimately decide to picnic at Gramps and Gran's house.\n\n====''The Berenstain Bears and the Trouble With Chores''====\nMama gets very frustrated because the cubs are performing awfully at chores. Every time Mama gives a simple task to the cubs or Papa, they always have excuses to not do them. For example, when Mama asks Brother to clean the dishes he says \"But there is a neat show on right now!\" and when Mama asks Sister to wash them she says \"But I always get the dirty chores!\" Eventually Mama concludes that maybe it is better if she does all the work herself, but this is proven false. Papa then suggests to Mama that they take a break off of the chores and not do it unless they feel like it. To show a point Mama agrees knowing that their antics will eventually cause the house to get messy. This prediction comes true and while Mama goes to her quilting and gardening club, Papa, Sister and Brother get so exasperated that they spend one entire afternoon cleaning up the dirty, filthy crowded house.\n\n====''The Berenstain Bears and The Double Dare''====\nOne day, while Mama, Papa, and Brother are busy, Sister comes home saying that a bully stole her jump rope. Brother decides to volunteer to get her rope back, and goes to the park where the bully, To-Tall and his gang, are playing. Brother comes and asks them for the jump rope, or else he will pound them to meat. Despite Brother does not get to beat up To-Tall, To-Tall gives him the jump rope. Glad that he got it back, Brother decides to head home. While he was going, To-Tall and his gang tell Brother if they could go on a trip somewhere. Brother, who says no, is then teased by the gang (who call him\nchicken). Saying that he is not chicken, Brother goes with the gang. They start going to a bunch of spots that scare Brother such as the Spooky Old Tree,\na hike at the edge of a ravine, and a log over a rushing river. They arrive at the final spot, Farmer Ben's watermelon patch. To- Tall and his gang\ntell brother that they will steal some watermelon. Brother disagrees, only to be teased by the gang again. Angry, he goes and takes a juicy watermelon, while the gang watches. Farmer Ben comes and catches Brother, and the gang runs away. Confused why Brother is stealing his watermelon, Brother tells Farmer Ben about him and To-Tall. After the story, Farmer Ben says that \"chickens aren't very smart, but they do know not to act when someone calls them chicken\" (referencing to Brother Being called a chicken.) \"Sheep, on the other hand, don't think for themselves, and are always following the leader.\" Brother sees the sheep heading to the highway, as the leader ram did. Farmer Ben says that Shep his sheepdog will round them up. He says that sheep will do anything the ram will do-run into a highway, jump off a cliff, or steal from a watermelon patch. Farmer Ben gives brother some watermelon to share with his family and a shortcut away from his farm. While Brother is walking home, To-Tall and his gang see him. The ask him if he can go to \"Widder Bruins\" house and \"have some fun\", or is Brother chicken. Brother says he is not chicken, nor sheep. The gang, who angrily keep on teasing Brother. All of the sudden, To-Tall's dad Two-Ton Grizzly comes and starts shouting at To-Tall and his gang. Brother leaves the argument and goes back home. He gives Sister her jump rope back. Mama asks him how he got back the jump rope, which Brother replies he just asked the gang. Mama says that he literally got it just like that, which Brother replies \" well, not really\".\n\n====''The Berenstain Bears and the Slumber Party''====\nMama allows Sister to go to Lizzie Bruin's for a slumber party under the impression that there will be just a few cubs and that Lizzie's parents will not be there. However, word of the party spreads, and Lizzy allows everyone to come despite her parents leaving the cubs under the supervision of her teenage babysitter. The babysitter has trouble controlling all the cubs, especially once Too-Tall and his gang crash the party, and Sister and her friends are more than willing to take advantage of the situation and made such a commotion. Soon, the sleepover causes havoc to the point that the neighbors call the police, the Bruins return home and everything is a mess. The Bruins call the cubs' parents to take them home and tell them about the disarray they discovered. Mama is angry and disappointed and grounds Sister for one week with nothing to occupy her but chores, homework, and school. Papa, who believes the punishment is too harsh, tells Mama that privilege and responsibility apply to parents as well as cubs, and implies that they should have called and confirmed with the Bruins about the sleepover before allowing Sister to go. The next day, Mama Bear releases Sister of her punishment, admitting her anger got the best of her. Mama and Sister head over to Lizzy's house, intent on helping clean up the mess last night. Lizzy suggests they have some soda and becomes excited, proposing a cleanup party. Sister turns down the offer, explaining that same behavior from the night before and that she doesn't want to hear the word \"party\" again, for a long time.\n\n====''The Berenstain Bears and the Trouble With Grown-ups''====\nBrother and Sister feel that their parents have nothing to say but negative things about their cubs and criticize them. Mama finds out that the \"Parents Night Talent Show\" is next Friday, but the cubs forgot to give her the notice they brought home, which makes things worse. Lizzy, Cousin Fred, Brother, and Sister try to think of a play, when Brother suggests \"The Trouble with Grownups!\", they agree secretly that it will be about cubs that do the same things Brother and Sister did that week that were wrong and the parents getting angry. The play gently parodies their parents, with cousin Freddy and Lizzy Bruin as Brother and Sister of the play. The comedy routine is a hit with the audience. Mama and Papa find it funny and enjoy the play. The next day, Mama and Papa Bear dress up as the cubs and do the same thing and show the cubs what they thought about it from their own point of view. Mama and Papa as the cubs run around rambunctiously, and Mama and Papa leave their cleaning objects and tools on the floors, which gets the cubs realizing that their parents enforcement of house rules serve a purpose. Seeing each other's perspective, this helps the family to understand and comprehend their frustrations a bit better, and learn that no one means to get on each other's nerves, as it is part of living under one roof.\n\n====''The Berenstain Bears' New Neighbors''====\nThe cubs are wondering who will move into a sold house across from theirs. One day, the new family arrives to the house and they are a family of pandas. Papa, initially excited to see them, has trouble adjusting to the family because they are different from him. When Papa misinterprets their row of bamboo as a spite fence, he refuses to adjust to the Panda family. Although, Papa is angered to meet the new neighbors, the cubs visit them anyway and they make friends with them. Later, the family, even Papa, comes over with a gift of honey to them, and when they learn that the bamboo is not a spite fence, Papa accepts the new neighbors. Even if others are different, we need to accept them and show love. They may even think you are different.\n\n====''The Berenstain Bears Count Their Blessings''====\nMama thinks about how Sister and Brother will come back with complaints about how they do not have the things their friends have. She says Sister complains about Lizzy's Bearbie collection, and Brother will complain that he doesn't have enough video games like Cousin Freddy. When they come home, Mama and Papa tell them to think about what they have that their friends do not have. They count all their blessings and when they sit down together as a family, the lights go out. Brother and Sister hear a thunderstorm coming, which knocks out the power; Papa knows a trick that can make the thunderstorm go away. They count each time and the storm is one mile away. After the thunderstorm, the cubs go upstairs to play with the toys they have, learning to be more appreciative of their possessions, and also are thankful for events such as Christmas and Easter which celebrate with candy. Mama says that since the cubs' birthdays are coming up and they have learned their lesson about being grateful for what they have, perhaps it is appropriate that they get Sister a Bearbie doll and Brother a new video game. Papa chuckles that he knows what to thankful for; a wife and children!\n\n====''The Berenstain Bears and the Homework Hassle''====\n\nAfter Brother falls too far behind in his homework, Papa warns Brother there will be no TV, no talking on the phone, and no anything until he gets caught up with his homework. Sister begins taunting Brother about how he is never able to get his homework done, leaving Brother to go for a walk. He goes outside to Gramps and Gran's house, and Gramps tells Brother of how Papa procrastinated in his homework, too, when he was a cub. Brother decides that he should go and do his homework and the next day, Teacher Bob gives Brother a B+ on his homework, and when he gets home, Mama, Papa, and Sister give Brother a hug as Brother's punishment is lifted. However, in the 2003 version, it did not show Brother getting a B+ on his homework by Teacher Bob and when he gets home, Mama, Papa, and Sister give Brother a hug instead, Mama kissed him on his cheek and Papa and Sister praised him. Meanwhile, in the 2003 version, Papa then must do his bills and does it with Brother.\n\n====''The Berenstain Bears and the Excuse Note''====\nSister finds gym very boring, so when she sees Lizzie with an excuse note after hurting her arm, she decides Lizzie is lucky. After school, while getting off the bus, Brother and Sister are running and Sister trips on a stone and falls. Papa and Mama rush to see if she is all right. She sprains her ankle and she gets an excuse note. At school, she enjoys sitting around doing nothing while the other cubs participate in gym. Eventually her ankle is all better, and one day at recess she forgets she is supposed to be injured and kicks a soccer ball that comes her way. Teacher Jane notices and points out that her ankle must be all better now. Sister complains to Mama that now she has to participate in useless gym again, but Mama explains to her how gym is good as it helps keep her healthy and helps her improve in other things. Sister takes her advice and tries her hardest in gym, which in turn helps improves her athletic and sports abilities.\n\n====''The Berenstain Bears Get the Gimmies''====\nThe Bear family goes to a supermarket. At the checkout, Brother and Sister see their favorite candies and make a fuss until Papa gives in to their behavior and buys them. On the way out to the parking lot, Brother and Sister spot a Bucking Frog similar to the Bucking Duck they ride at the mall. They begin to whine and beg, even worse than they did inside, and Papa gives in once again and buys them a ride. En route to the car, the cubs spot a stand that sells toy cats that squeak. They have their worst screams yet, and Papa, embarrassed, reluctantly gives in to their demand and buys each of them a toy cat. When they got home, Papa and Mama are upset about the cubs' behavior and decide to have a talk with them about how greedy cubs that want everything can never be satisfied. Gramps and Gran come to visit, and Brother and Sister greet them by jumping up and down and yelling, demanding gifts. Infuriated and fed up, Papa sends the cubs to their room. Papa explains to Gramps and Gran that Brother and Sister have the worst case of the gimmies, and Gramps states that Papa had the gimmies once when he was a cub. Gramps and Gran state that they had a deal in which when it came time for a trip to the general store, Papa could pick out a treat, a book, or a toy before they ever left the house, and that was it for the day. If he came down with the gimmies and began whining for anything else, they would go right home and Papa would get nothing at all. The cubs then come down and apologize. Papa and Mama realize that is a good idea, and so do Brother and Sister. They go to the supermarket for a few days later, and Brother and Sister get the treats they decided on at the house, Brother gets a book on dinosaurs and Sister gets a box of crayons. The plan works, much to Mama and Papa's relief and Brother and Sister are very proud of themselves, too. However, as they leave, the Bear family spots a cub who also has the gimmies in the checkout. Brother and Sister express disgust with the cub's behavior, and they leave the supermarket happily.\n\n====''The Berenstain Bears and Too Much Teasing''====\nBrother teases Sister when she buys or watches things he doesn't like or hates every day. So one day Sister tells Mama about it. Mama and Papa tell Brother that teasing isn't a good idea. Papa shows Brother what teasing is like by calling Mama \"Ookums Snookums\" and tickling under her chin, which she doesn't like. At school, Brother gets a job working with the principal, and Too-tall Grizzly and his gang tease Brother, giving him a taste of what it's like to get teased. One day a new kid named Milton becomes Too-tall's new target, Brother stands up for Milton. Milton's parents are farmhands, and this is his first time going to a community school. Part of the reason that Milton is a target is because he is very much like a \"hayseed\" who acts folksy and simplistic among others. He's also bad at sports like baseball and soccer. However, there is one sport Milton understands: wrestling, as he says on the farm part of his job was \"rassling\" pigs to the ground. Brother sends the principal a letter the next morning which secretly says that Milton challenges Too-tall and his gang to a wrestling match. (In the 2003 adaptation of the book, this part is changed to Brother bringing Milton in to try out for the school wrestling team, of which Too-tall is the captain.) Too-tall and his gang accept the challenge, and Milton wins by falling on Too-tall and his gang. Because of Too-tall's loss, he has to leave Milton alone. In the end, Brother doesn't tease Sister anymore.\n\n====''The Berenstain Bears Report Card Trouble''====\nBrother gets a bad report card, with all non-Physical Education grades being bad, while all of his classmates and Sister get good scores. After Papa shouts at him for doing very poor in school, Brother ends up getting grounded from sports, television, video games, skateboarding, rollerblading, and going out to movies with his friends. Despite how much Mama consoles him, Brother remains depressed. The whole family feels grounded after, since it would be unfair and a bad example if they do anything that Brother cannot do. Mama suggests that Papa went too far with grounding Brother, as she sees Sister being bored. After a talk on helping Brother, Mama and Papa decide to help him. Sister even joins, helping Brother with his vocabulary. The next day, the whole family helps Brother study for a math test and do a science project. Brother does good on the project and test, resulting in Papa lifting his grounding and improving his grades.\n\n====''The Berenstain Bears No Girls Allowed''====\nWhen Brother and his friends used to play games, Sister would constantly tag along. She was slower than they were and had a tendency to whine, so all the older cubs viewed her as a nuisance. But as Sister gets older, she suddenly starts to become better than them at climbing, baseball, marbles, and other activities. What's worse is the fact that Sister has also become a show-off and a bad winner with her obnoxious over-celebrating. One day, she can't find any of the other cubs to play with, so she decides to occupy herself instead. But after three days of no playmates, she goes looking for them and discovers they have built a neat-looking clubhouse in the thicket behind the baseball diamond that looks like a fortress. Her excitement turns to hurt feelings when the boy cubs add the finishing touch: a sign that reads, \"Bear Country Boys Club: NO GIRLS ALLOWED.\" Sister runs home crying, and although Papa is initially furious and vows to make the cubs let her in the club, Mama suggests another solution: building a treehouse for Sister and her friends. Papa builds it in the old climbing tree, and Sister and her friends bring a rope ladder, a tin can telephone, and a spyglass. Mama explains to Sister that although the boys are being unfair and are sore losers, Sister had brought some of it on herself with her sore winner attitude. They celebrate the new clubhouse by grilling honeycomb and salmon, and the delicious smell brings the boys out of their clubhouse to investigate. The girls decide to invite the boys to share the meal, and afterwards, the boys invite the girls to their clubhouse in the thicket for a dessert of berries. Brother runs ahead, and when the girls arrive, they discover he's changed the sign to \"Bear Country Boys Club: GIRLS WELCOME!\"\n\n====''The Berenstain Bears Trick or Treat''====\nOn the week near Halloween, Mama comes home with groceries, candy for trick-or-treaters. Brother and Sister try to surprise Mama by dressing into their costumes, and they manage to do so. Then on Halloween when the cubs make a map of their planned trick or treat route, they reveal about how they believe that Mama's best friend, \"Miz Migrizz\", is a spooky, cruel, witch. Mama Bear tries to tell them that Miz Migrizz isn't a witch but fails to convince them. That night, Brother and Sister and their friends Fred (as a pirate), Lizzy Bruin (as a skeleton), and Queenie (as the wicked queen from Snow White), go trick or treating but just when they leave the curb to their house they meet Too-Tall Grizzly and his gang. They learn that Too-Tall and his gang have only accepted on going Trick-Or-Treating under a mistaken belief that it is more fun and is about playing mean harsh tricks on older people. The cubs are worried when Too-Tall gives them an invitation to play tricks with them on Miz Migrizz and just before Too-Tall and his gang can start tricking Migrizz she hears the commotion and catches them. But instead of scolding them she gives them candy apples for Halloween. The cubs realize that she is kind after all. They thank Migrizz and head for home.\n\n====''The Berenstain Bears and The Bad Dream''====\nBrother obsessively collects all of the ''Space Grizzlies'' merchandise from action figures to movies to toys. No one else in the Bear family understands why Brother is so drawn to the toys, mostly finding it annoying when he leaves them all over the treehouse. He loves the toys so much that he looks for ways to earn money to buy more of them, eventually to get Sleezo's Cloud Castle. After seeing a poster for an upcoming Space Grizzlies movie, he can't wait for it to premiere. One afternoon, Brother desperately wants to play Space Grizzlies and propositions Sister. She agrees on the condition that Brother plays three games of her choice first. At dinner, Papa announces the movie Brother wants to see will be in theaters the next day. While Brother watches the Space Grizzlies movie, Mama and Papa and Sister see a different movie at the same multiplex called \"The Magic Toeshoes\", about a girl in a ballet class who cannot balance until she is given magic shoes by an old man, only to lose them before the big recital then to be told by the old man they were plain ordinary shoes, it was in her all along. After coming home from the theater, and going to bed, Sister wakes up and tells Mama and Papa of being embarrassed in public. Mama tells her it was a bad dream; a nightmare. All the things she was seeing in her sleep were jumbled pieces of information she had experienced during her day. Sister accepts that all she had was a bad dream and that it couldn't hurt her. Although Brother initially scoffs at her fear of bad dreams, that night he has a nightmare about being chased by enemies of the Space Grizzlies. Sister explains what she learned to him, and Brother better understands.\n\n====''The Berenstain Bears Trouble With Money''====\nThe cubs know a lot about Bear Country, such as the best places for flowers, berries, and honey. However, they don't know a lot about money. Whenever they receive any money, either from doing odd jobs for neighbors or as handouts from Mama, Papa or their grandparents, they immediately run to the mall and blow it all on honeycomb on a stick and cheap toys. Attempts to save money in Sister's piggy bank are short-lived, and Brother does not even own a piggy bank. Mama starts getting concerned about the cubs' attitude, and recommends putting them on an allowance to show the value of money. However, this idea is disapproved by Papa, who cheerfully suggests that this is the time to have a carefree childhood and that they will have plenty of money worries when they are grownup. However, Papa is the one to give the cubs a dressing down about squandering. One day, when Brother and Sister are at the mall, they see a new game called \"Astro Bear\" at the arcade and run home to ask for money for it. Papa explodes, asking if they think he's made of money or that money grows on trees, and knocking over a chair as he yells. Mama once again attempts to bring up the allowance idea, but Papa refuses, saying that they need to learn to earn their money, just as he did. The cubs take what he says to heart and become small entrepreneurs, selling flowers and berries, guiding tours of Bear Country's most beautiful spots, and starting a pet-sitting business. But when they start selling maps of the locations of all the best honey trees (a family secret), Papa begins to worry. He complains that all they care about now is making money, and they've turned into little misers, which does seem to be apparent as Brother and Sister are seen accounting for all the money they made. He calls the cubs in for a lecture, but before he can begin, they dump all their hard-earned money into his lap, saying that they earned it all for him so he wouldn't have to worry about money so much. A startled Papa is silent, and Mama clarifies with the cubs that she and Papa worry about money, but the purpose of the earlier lecture was to see the importance of hard work and savings. This time, Papa is the one who brings up the allowance idea. They take the cubs' money to the Bear Country Bank and open a savings account, explaining to the cubs about starting a nest egg and how interest works. The bank is inside the mall, and adjacent to the video arcade, so Papa feels that since the cubs have learned their lessons about squandering, the entire Bear family enjoys a round of Astro Bear.\n\n====''The Berenstain Bears and Papa's Pizza''====\nWhen the cubs invite their friends over to their house, they don't know what to do until they ask Mama if they can have a party. Mama sarcastically says \"No\" at first, but then says, \"Yes\". Initially, the cubs try to make snacks, but end up making only their favorite foods: \"Peanut Butter-mushy-banana-and-crushed-honeycomb-sandwiches-with-a-Pickle\". When the cubs express their beliefs that their friends will love it as much as they, Mama tells the cubs that they also need to make their friends' favorite foods and that some may not like the sandwiches. The next few days the cubs go around asking their friends what they like. But nobody likes guacamole, cheese sandwiches, peanut butter, green onions, green peppers, tuna fish, mushrooms, squash, and other things like that, making them have to agree on boring \"crackers and water\". But Papa comes to the rescue and says that he used to be a Pizzaologist in college and lets the cubs make their own pizza.\n\n====''The Berenstain Bears At the Giant Mall''====\nBrother and Sister ride their bikes to the hardware store, where they find Papa trying to purchase a one and a half-inch carving set. Papa finds that the Bear Country Hardware store doesn't have a one and a half inch carving set, so he is told by the clerk to check the Bear Country Mall for the carving set, much to Papa's, Brother's and Sister's delight. The family drives to the giant mall, where Papa brags once again that he never gets lost. Mama, Brother and Sister, go over the rules of the mall, but since Papa believes that he never gets lost, he abandons the rules and goes alone to find the hardware store while the family agrees to meet in the food court in one hour. Brother, Mama, and Sister look around the mall in a book store, a pet store, and a music store. The group has fun, but when the hour is finished they head to the food court but Papa doesn't show up. Mama is not surprised that Papa doesn't arrive and suspects that he got himself lost. The cubs and Mama ask a clerk for help to find Papa, but the clerk says that he hasn't seen Papa. They head to the lost cub center where they find Papa and Papa finally admits that he got lost. The cubs show him where the hardware store is, and after Papa gets his carving set, he apologizes for the trouble he caused and promises to always follow the rules.\n\n====''The Berenstain Bears and the Bad Habit''====\nSeveral of the cubs in Sister's first grade class have developed little nervous habits from the increased amount of work compared to kindergarten, but Sister's is the worst: a nail-biting habit that is making her fingers sore. When Mama places tape over Sister's fingers to keep her from biting them, Sister gets irritated by it because her friends tease her. She cannot scratch itches and play Jacks and such, so eventually she takes off the tape and her nail-biting habit gets bigger and bigger. Papa and Mama get worried and Papa gets an idea for a reward where Sister would get a dime for every day she doesn't bite her nails until she can stop her habit. Sister is excited about the idea. But even that won't help Sister break her habit and she doesn't get a single dime. However, Gran gives Mama another suggestion: instead of a dime at the end of each day, give Sister ten pennies at the beginning of the day. This way, the jingle of them in her pocket will remind her not to bite, and for every nail she does bite she must give back a penny. The plan works, and although Sister has to give back a few pennies, she still gets ten fine fingernails and 93 pennies in ten days, breaking her nail-biting habit for good. However Brother gets jealous that Sister has all those pennies and he tells Papa that he'll bite his nails so he can get money like Sister, but Brother tells Papa when he suspiciously objects that he was joking.\n\n====''The Berenstain Bears and the In-Crowd''====\nSister meets a new cub named Queenie McBear whose fashionable clothes and fancy bike impresses Sister's friends. When Sister tries to be friendly, Queenie scoffs at both Sister's name and her style of dress. She also wins over Sister's friends by buying them ice cream, as well as laughing that Sister still uses a tricycle. Sister first tries to teach herself to ride Brother's bike in order to beat Queenie at her own game, but fails miserably. Mama tries to get Sister to fit in by getting her an outfit akin to Queenie's. While Sister appreciates Mama's kind gesture, she says it is not her, and that she would not change herself even if \"Bear Country was attacked by an army of Queenie clones!\" Mama, glad that Sister has a good outlook, tells her that just because Queenie got ice cream for Sister's friends, it does not make them automatically like her, and that Sister should focus on what she is good at; her jump rope abilities in an upcoming double Dutch tournament. On the day of the tournament, many cubs participate, even some boys like Brother and Cousin Freddy. Sister's friends register for Sister's team when they see she is the best chance to win. Queenie turns out to be a disaster at jump rope, especially since she made the mistake of wearing dangly clothings and hoop earrings. Sister wins the tournament and is cheered by all, and Queenie admits she has learned a lesson in what it is like to be humiliated, and pledges to turn over a new leaf.\n\n====''The Berenstain Bears and the Blame Game''====\nMama is feeling annoyed because Brother and Sister keep playing the blame game with each other after every mistake and accident. When the cubs break the vase, and Mama rushes into the room, they blame each other for breaking the vase by protesting about how the vase broke and why they tried to tease each other causing to break the vase. Just as Mama is about to lose her temper, Papa comes in and tells the cubs to instead solve the problem. They do so, but when Brother and Sister break the bay window with a baseball and begin the blame game again, Papa loses it as well until Mama helps them fix the problem. Papa reminds the cubs that while there are times when someone really is to blame, there's always enough blame to go around.\n\n====''The Berenstain Bears and the Attic Treasure''====\nOne day, Mama gets an idea from a magazine to turn their attic into a lovely family room. The family goes up to the attic and plan to turn the junk into cash and hold a big yard sale the next day. But however when the family puts up their advertisements for the yard sale, they find that the junk happens to be forgotten treasures; like Brother's twirl-a-hoop, Papa's baseball card collection, a cracked honey pot as a wedding gift, Papa's sack race trophy, albums of Papa and Mama's wedding, and baby furniture in case they have another baby. Eventually they have nothing to offer at the yard sale when they refuse to sell the treasures, so they cancel the yard sale and are able to clean up the attic enough to turn it into a family room.\n\n====''The Berenstain Bears Trouble at School''====\nBrother gets ill and Dr. Grizzly recommends Brother to stay home until he feels better. Brother is annoyed with his schoolwork and his place on the soccer team being disrupted by being bedridden, but Mama pampers him and gives him entertaining things to pass the time. Brother enjoys these so much that he neglects the folders of makeup work Sister brings home for him. By the time he recovers, Brother returns to a bumpy start; he has been relegated to a second-stringer on the soccer team as Freddy has been promoted to the first string, and he has to take a math test. Even in an unprepared state, Brother might have squeaked by on the test because he was good with fractions, but his mind was so distracted by losing his place on the soccer team that he flunks, and his test is returned with a remark \"Very Poor! Must be Signed by Parents\". When Brother and Sister return home, Sister falls ill from Brother's earlier malady. Brother takes advantage of Mama's attention to Sister to hide the poor test. The next day, Brother becomes truant by intentionally missing the bus, folding his test into a paper airplane to be rid of it both figuratively and literally, then walking down a dirt road ranting to himself how nothing has ever gone right for him in soccer or academics. The road is connected is along his grandparents' home, who see him and are perplexed as to why he is being a truant, but Gramps decides to handle to problem in a kindly manner. He takes Brother to a swamp with an old rusted carriage submerged in the peat, and tells that many years ago he was driving the carriage through a series of wrong turns until finally, in a rage, he drove it right into the swamp. Gramps then realized he actually worked so hard to cause such a mess, similar to Brother's rant, and that if he only took a moment to stop and change course, all the trouble could have been avoided. After the paper airplane is found, Gramps takes Brother home, to which Mama and Papa are not pleased to hear Brother was truant. But when Gramps shows he has taught Brother right, Papa signs the test and Mama returns Brother to school, commenting, \"it is never too late to correct a mistake\". Brother's teacher says most students did poorly on the math test and gives the class another shot, to which Brother does well after learning an earlier lesson in adding and subtracting fractions from Gramps. At soccer, the coach gives Brother his old position back as Freddy is not ready for the first string, but has been making progress. Rather than gloat, Brother comments to the coach \"it is never too late to correct a mistake\" and commends Freddy for sharpening his athletic ability.\n\n====''The Berenstain Bears and the Bully''====\nSister comes home crying about being assaulted by a bully, Brother goes to the empty school to avenge her only to find out the bully is a younger girl named Tuffy, and he walks away knowing he can't beat up a girl. Rather than getting even, Brother helps Sister in the art of self-defense and helps her vent her frustrations by creating a bean bag with a picture of Tuffy on front of it that she can punch. As the days go by she becomes more proficient at self-defense until the day comes when Tuffy is throwing rocks at a baby bird during recess. When Sister stands up for the bird, Tuffy tries but fails to hit Sister and instead gets a bloody nose. While waiting to see the principal, Sister learns that Tuffy's behavior stems from how she is disciplined at home. Sister is given a warning but avoids further punishment because teachers saw that she was just trying to protect the bird, while also learning a lesson in bully motivation. Tuffy is sentenced to a week of detention during recess as punishment for her poor behavior and has to visit the school psychologist twice a week.\n\n===''The Berenstain Bears and the Big Blooper''===\nOne day, Lizzy Bruin invites Sister to play with her, which she happily accepts, and they start by playing house with their dolls. Their game is cut short by Lizzy's mother trying to make some phone calls. Sister and Lizzy then decide to watch ''Trouble at Big Bear High'', a video rented by Lizzy's older brother, Barry. The video was about teenagers in high school, who often got angry and upset with each other, and often teased one another. Whenever the teenagers in the video got angry or upset, they often used Adult words that Sister had never heard. Sister assumes that the words are like \"phooey\" or \"fudge\", but more mature. After a few more hours with Lizzy, Sister goes home for dinner. At dinner, Sister tells her family about the video. Brother (who had also seen the video with Barry) questions whether or not Sister was old enough to be watching the video. Offended, Sister says that she liked the video a lot, but, accidentally knocks over her glass of milk. Intending to say \"Oh, phooey!\" or \"Oh, fudge!\", Sister accidentally lets one of the swear words from the video slip. Everyone at the table is shocked, and Sister tells Mama all about the adult words. Mama tells Sister that the words she heard from the video are not nice words, and should never be used by any cub, regardless of how angry or upset they are. When Sister asks whether grown-ups use those words, Mama sternly turns her attention to Papa. Papa starts to tell Sister about situations when grown-ups do use bad words (E.G hitting their thumb with a hammer, or when wrong moves occur in sports), only to be cut off by Mama. Mama then reiterates her point to Sister, that no one, Cubs or adults, should ever use swear words, since they just aren't nice. That night, as Sister is being tucked into bed, she asks Mama why Cubs and adults use swear, even though it isn't nice. Mama sighs, and answers that it just becomes a habit.\n\n===Step into Reading Books===\n\n====''The Berenstain Bears Go Up and Down''====\nAt the mall, some bears go up and down on the escalators.

After school, Brother invites Ferdy to come to his place to play video games, but Ferdy says he agreed to meet Queenie to help her with schoolwork. Queenie comes along and she and Ferdy become homework partners. The next day, when Ferdy plays chess by himself again, he sees Brother playing with the ball. He asks him to pass the ball, but Brother refuses as he looks like he is pretending he does not want it. Eventually Brother throws the ball, but Ferdy is talking to Queenie and does not see the ball coming, so hits him on the stomach. Queenie laughs and Ferdy runs away. Brother chases after him and tells Ferdy that he was showing off and apologizes. Brother also admits that he is concerned about an upcoming football game against a tough team, so Ferdy offers to help out by using his chess skills to look at play patterns.

Brother keeps putting along while the other racers, identified by other colors speed off. One racer known as Blue hits a tree speeding through a hairpin turn while Brother rounds the curve carefully. Another one, known as Green (who is \"quite mean\") uses tacks to flatten the tires of Orange and Yellow while he is unconcerned about Little Red. An overconfident Green stops at a fast food joint, but \"it turns out the food was not fast enough\" as Brother comes along to get the checkered flag.

"List of climbing knots" "Introduction" "\n\n\nThere are many knots used in climbing, rappelling and mountaineering. Popular climbing knots are briefly described and depicted in this article.\n\n\n\n\n'''Bends'''\n\n50px\nBeer knot: The Beer knot is often used in tubular webbing, usually for making slings.\n\n50px\nDouble fisherman knot (a.k.a. Grapevine):The Grapevine knot is useful to tie together two ends of ropes. Ropes can be of unequal sizes. It is often used to tie both ends of the same rope together to form a circle.\n\n\nTriple fisherman's knot\n\n50px\nOverhand bend (a.k.a. European death knot, Euro death knot, EDK):The Overhand bend is a simple and fast way to join two ropes, notably for rappelling. Can be very useful in situations where speed is critical to safety. It is similar to a water knot, but both bitter ends come out the same side of the knot.\n\n50px\nWater knot (a.k.a. Tape Knot, Double Overhand Bend, Ring Bend):The Water knot is useful to tie together two ends of ropes. Often used with webbing.\n\n\n'''Binding'''\n\n50px\nStrangle knot: The Strangle knot is a simple binding knot. It forms both sides of a Double fisherman's knot, and is also used to back up loop knots and both ends of bends.\n\n\n'''Hitches'''\n\n50px\nBachmann knot:The Bachmann knot is useful when the friction hitch needs to be reset quickly/often or made to be self-tending as in crevasse and self-rescue.\n\n50px\nClove hitch:The Clove hitch is used in belay systems among other things.\n\n50px\nItalian hitch (a.k.a. Munter hitch, HMS):The Italian hitch is a simple knot, used by climbers and cavers as part of a life-lining or belay system. Its main use is as a friction device for controlling the rate of descent in belay systems.\n\n50px\nKlemheist knot:The Klemheist knot is an alternative to the Prusik knot, useful when the climber is short of cord but has plenty of webbing.\n\n50px\nPrusik:The Prusik is a knot used mainly for emergency use. Some carry between one and three cords specifically for prusiks. One can be used to quickly secure a person's position to correct problems with equipment; two can be used as a method of ascending a rope.\n\n50px\nBlake's hitch:Blake's hitch is widely used in tree climbing applications. The knot can be slid up and down a line manually, but when loaded, it sticks securely.\n\n50px\nGirth hitch: This hitch is commonly used to attach loops of runner to harnesses, bags, other kinds of equipment, and to natural features like rock knobs or brush/tree trunks for protection.\n\n\n'''Loop Knots'''\n\n50px\nAlpine butterfly knot:The Alpine Butterfly is a strong and secure loop knot. Allows load distribution in multiple directions. It can also be used to isolate a worn section of rope.\n\n50px\nFigure-of-eight loop:The Figure-of-eight loop is considered strong and secure. Can be tied by taking a bight of rope and tying a figure-of-eight knot or can be tied directly around/through objects before weaving back through the first figure eight knot (Figure-of-eight follow through).\n\n50px\nDirectional Figure-of-eight Loop: The Inline figure-of-eight loop is similar to a figure-of-eight loop but used to form a loop that will be loaded longitudinally in a line under tension. Particularly useful in rope tightening systems where the loop is established as a means to secure a pulley or carabiner onto the main line to reduce the amount of work needed to tighten the entire system. Similar to a trucker's hitch.\n\n50px\nDouble bowline: The double bowline is commonly used by sport climbers who take multiple lead falls and then have trouble untying their figure eights.\n\n50px\nDouble Figure Eight Loop (a.k.a. Bunny Ears): Used for equalising two anchors using the rope.\n\n50px\nYosemite bowline: Also called a ''bowline with a Yosemite finish'', this is another way of tying the rope to the harness.\n\n50px\nBowline on a bight: Used for equalizing anchors.\n\n\n'''Stopper Knots'''\n\n50px\nStevedore knot (a.k.a.

"List of Soul Train episodes" "Introduction" "\nright\nGladys Knight & the Pips on Soul Train in 1974\nThe Jackson 5 on Soul Train in 1973\n''Soul Train'' is an American musical variety television program, which aired in syndication from 1971 until 2006. In its 35-year history, the show primarily featured performances by R&B, soul and hip hop artists, although funk, jazz, disco and gospel artists have also appeared. The series was created by Don Cornelius, who also served as its first host and executive producer.\n\nThis is a list of episodes that aired originally from October 2, 1971 to March 25, 2006. The dates shown are original air dates, but some dates are approximate because in the 1970s, most syndication markets did not get the episodes at the same time, so the dates shown are the first airings of the episodes. This is also a list for the ''Best of Soul Train'' reruns that aired from 2006 until the show's cancellation in September 2008. The dates shown are the first airings of the episodes.\n\n\n\n\n\n'''Seasons''': 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 29 30 31 32 33 34 35 36 37 References__NOTOC__\n\n" "Series overview" "\n" "Episodes" "\n===Season 1 (1971\u201372)===\nThe first theme song was the 1962 recording of \"Hot Potatoes\", performed by King Curtis; the song used for the bumpers was \"Familiar Footsteps\" by Gene Chandler.\n\n\n No. inseason\n No.\u00a0inseries\n'''Guests & Songs'''\n'''Original air date'''\n\n 1\n 1\n \n*Gladys Knight & the Pips (\"Friendship Train\" & \"I Don't Wanna Do Wrong\")\n*Eddie Kendricks (\"It's So Hard for Me to Say Goodbye\" & \"I Did It All For You\")\n*Honey Cone (\"Stick-Up\" & \"Want Ads\")\n* Bobby Hutton (\"You're My Only Reason\")\n October 2, 1971\n\n 2\n 2\n \n*Charles Wright & the Watts 103rd Street Rhythm Band (\"Express Yourself\" & \"Your Love (Means Everything to Me)\")\n*Carla Thomas (\"You Got a Cushion to Fall On\")\n*General Crook (\"Do It for Me\" & \"What Time is It\")\n October 9, 1971\n\n 3\n 3\n \n*Chairmen of the Board (\"Give Me Just a little more Time\" & \"Hang on to a Memory\")\n*Rufus Thomas (\"(Do the) Push and Pull\", \"Do the Funky Chicken\" & \"The World is Round\")\n*Laura Lee (\"Women's Love Rights\" & \"Wedlock is Padlock\")\n October 16, 1971\n\n 4\n 4\n \n*The Staple Singers (\"Express Yourself\" & \"Heavy Makes You Happy\")\n*Freda Payne (\"Band of Gold\" & \"Bring the Boys Home\")\n October 23, 1971\n\n 5\n 5\n \n*Bill Withers (\"Ain't No Sunshine\" & \"Grandma's Hands\")\n*Al Green (\"Let's Stay Together\" & \"Tired of Being Alone\")\n*Viola Wills (\"Sweetback\")\n October 30, 1971\n\n 6\n 6\n \n*Lou Rawls (\"Natural Man\")\n*100 Proof (Aged in Soul) (\"Somebody's Been Sleeping\", \"Driveway\" & \"One Man's Leftovers\")\n*The Emotions (\"So I Can Love You\" & \"Show Me How\")\n November 6, 1971\n\n 7\n 7\n \n*Martha and the Vandellas (\"Dancing In The Streets\" & \"Bless You\")\n*The Intruders (\"I Bet He Don't Love You (Like I Love You)\" & \"Cowboys To Girls\")\n*G.

"Looney Tunes Racing" "Introduction" "\n'''''Looney Tunes Racing''''' is a kart racing video game released for the PlayStation and Game Boy Color and published by Infogrames. It was released in 2000 in North America and in 2001 in Europe.\n" "Gameplay" "''Looney Tunes Racing'' features different power-ups that are slightly unusual for the genre\u2014instead of random pickups as in most racing games, racers collect tokens of various colors which are used to charge various power-ups. Six power-ups are available, and only the current level power-up may be activated. Also available are environmental hazards, triggered by driving through an 'ACME gag-activation arch', generally aimed further ahead on the track.\n\n===Championship===\nThe game features a season ('Championship') mode with three different levels, each with four (Rascal), five (Stinker), or six (Despicable) races. All tracks are unique. Each race features six racers, and awards ten points for finishing in first place, six points for second place, and four points for third place. Finishing in fourth place or lower requires the player to use a continue (of which he or she has three) to retry the race. Winning a championship unlocks a bonus level and a character. Winning the Despicable championship also leads to either a specific ending movie (for one of the starting characters) or a generic showing of the trophy (for the hidden ones). The ending movie shows the results of your character's wish, awarded by Smokey the genie (although he always congratulates them for winning 'the race', not the series).\n\n===Single Race===\nOne can race on individual tracks, unlocked once they are won in 'Championship' mode. Also found here are three bonus levels won in 'Championship' mode.\n\n===Acme Challenge===\nThese are fifteen special races divided into three 'floors' of five events each. The last event for each floor is a race on a short track against a secret character (Porky Pig, Elmer Fudd, or Gossamer). The other four events range from collecting icons (gather a certain number of icons around an arena) to racing with specific conditions (no brakes, for example) to time trials. Winning each event recovers an artifact from the museum. Each event can end with failure or a medal for success: bronze (minimum win), silver (slightly tougher), or gold (toughest). Winning a medal on each event unlocks the next floor; winning a medal on all events on the third floor unlocks the 'Challenge' ending movie, where the Acme museum is (temporarily) reopened.\n\n===Multiplayer===\nTwo players can either race, battle, or try 'Wacky', which brings up random events for the two to try. Note that in battle mode, the two most powerful powerups are deactivated for battle events. For race events, the bonus levels are replaced by the short speedways used in the challenge events.\n" "Characters" "''Looney Tunes Racing'' features nineteen characters (six default characters and thirteen unlockable characters).\n\n===Default characters===\n* Bugs Bunny\n* Marvin the Martian\n* Lola Bunny\n* Daffy Duck\n* Tasmanian Devil\n* Wile E. Coyote\n\n===Unlockable characters===\n* Yosemite Sam\n* Sylvester the Cat\n* Foghorn Leghorn\n* Pepe Le Pew\n* Elmer Fudd\n* Porky Pig\n* Gossamer\n* Granny\n* Duck Dodgers\n* Evil Scientist\n* Rocky\n* Smokey the Genie\n* Hector\n" "Voice cast" "* Billy West as Bugs Bunny, Pepe Le Pew, and Elmer Fudd\n* Maurice LaMarche as Yosemite Sam\n* Bill Farmer as Foghorn Leghorn\n* Bob Bergen as Porky Pig\n* June Foray as Granny\n* Joe Alaskey as Daffy Duck, Sylvester the Cat, Gossamer, Rocky, Marvin the Martian, Tweety Bird, Smokey the Genie, and Evil Scientist\n* Kath Soucie as Lola Bunny\n* Jim Cummings as Tasmanian Devil\n" "Reception" "\nThe PlayStation version received \"average\" reviews according to video game review aggregator Metacritic.\n\n" " References " "\n" " External links " "* \n* \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n"

"Lucas Entertainment" "Introduction" "\n\n\n'''Lucas Entertainment''' is a New York-based gay pornographic studio started by porn star Michael Lucas. It is one of the largest such studios in the world. The studio is known for lavish, big-budget movies, and it contends that its 2006 film ''Michael Lucas' La Dolce Vita'' is the most expensive gay porn ever made. The film won 14 GayVN awards in 2007, the current record.\n\nTo expand its direction, the studio hired mr. Pam Dor\u00e9, gay adult film's only female videographer, as creative director of film and production in August 2008. Dor\u00e9, who began her career at Falcon Video in 1996, was nominated for best director and cinematography at the GayVN Awards for the studio's 2008 ''Return to Fire Island''.\n\nIn May 2009, Lucas Entertainment announced that it was filming on location the first gay porn movie with only Israeli models, billing it as an effort to promote Israeli culture. The company subsequently launched its Men of Israel microsite introducing the actors and film concept. Lucas has called the film his most important, and journalists from ''The Atlantic'', ''Out Magazine'' and ''Yediot Aharonot'' noted it as a landmark film as the first pornographic movie shot on location with an all-Israeli cast; while ''Tablet Magazine'' and the ''Los Angeles Times'' remarked on it being the first to feature an all-Jewish cast.\n\nIn July, the studio announced on Lucas's blog that it will open a European headquarters in Paris, the site of its current production, ''Paris Playboys''. In 2013 Lucas Entertainment went from being exclusively a condom-only studio to filming and releasing \"bareback\" sex content.\n" "History" "In 1998 Lucas founded his own production company, Lucas Entertainment, with money he earned from working as a male escort. He based the company in New York City (rather than Los Angeles, where many of the other pornography studios are located), in part, to take advantage of the lack of competition.\n\nIn 2004, Lucas Distribution, Inc., his adult video distribution company, began operations. Lucas directs, produces and stars in his own films under the Lucas Entertainment banner.\nIn March 2009 the studio hired Mr. Pam Dor\u00e9 as creative director of film and production. Dor\u00e9 was the videographer and editor for NakedSword's Tim & Roma Show. Dor\u00e9, a 12-year veteran of the business, had shot and edited award-winning movies for COLT Studio Group and Black Scorpion Entertainment, amongst others. She was nominated at the 2009 GayVN Awards for best director and cinematography for the studio's 2008 ''Return to Fire Island''. In an interview, mr. Pam stated that she fulfills many roles on set, including \"kick-ass cameraman, slutty friend or 'Mommy' if the boys need a hug or someone to talk with.\"\n\nThe studio announced on Lucas's blog in July 2009 that it was opening a European headquarters in Paris. The new office will centralize production services, including casting, filming, and promotions. The studio last filmed in France in October 2001 for ''Inside Paris'', and announced it was to begin filming ''Paris Playboys'' in the city's gay district, Le Marais.\n" "Productions" "A fluffer hands Jake Starr and Erik Grant accouterments for a scene in the studio's 2008 production ''Pounding the Pavement''.\nThe studio is known for lavish, big-budget productions that approach gay pornography combining technical filmmaking expertise and raunch. The studio released its ''Gigolo'' in 2007. The film explored the underworld of New York City escorting and hustling. When same-year ''The Intern'' won more GayVN Awards than the big production ''Gigolo'', studio head Lucas was bothered, stating that \"even a retard\" would not have chosen the one over the other.\n\n=== Michael Lucas' Dangerous Liaisons ===\n\nIn the summer of 2005 Lucas released ''Michael Lucas' Dangerous Liaisons''; the film featured celebrity cameos from RuPaul, Boy George, Graham Norton, Bruce Vilanch, Lady Bunny, Amanda Lepore, and Michael Musto.\n\n=== Michael Lucas' La Dolce Vita ===\n\nIn 2006, the studio released ''Michael Lucas' La Dolce Vita Parts 1 & 2'', a gay pornographic remake of the 1960 Fellini classic ''La Dolce Vita''. At a budget of $250,000, the studio contends it is the most expensive gay pornographic film ever made. The film won a record fourteen awards at the 2007 GayVN Awards, winning in every category in which it was nominated.\n\nIn February 2007, International Media Films, Inc., which owns the rights to Fellini's ''La Dolce Vita'', filed suit against Lucas (as Andrei Treivas Bregman), Lucas Entertainment, Inc., and Lucas Distribution, Inc. for trademark and copyright infringement. The lawsuit seeks to collect unspecified damages and to stop sales of ''Michael Lucas' La Dolce Vita Parts 1 & 2''. At the preliminary injunction hearing in April, 2007, the attorney for the plaintiff asked the judge to enjoin further distribution of Lucas' film, which he refused to do.\n\n===Men of Israel===\n\nOn location for the filming of the 2009 release ''Men of Israel'', the first adult film to use exclusively Jewish models.\nIn May 2009, Lucas Entertainment filmed the first gay porn film using only Israeli models. The production was billed as a sexual journey to promote Israeli culture. In June 2009 the company launched its ''Men of Israel'' website to promote the film, which announced its release for July 22.\n\nThe film received press coverage. Writing in ''Tablet Magazine'', Wayne Hoffman observed that although mainstream publications from ''The Atlantic'' to ''Out Magazine'' to ''Yedioth Aharonoth'' called the project a landmark as the first gay adult film to feature an all-Israeli cast, Hoffman felt it was a landmark for featuring the first all-Jewish cast.\n\nThe openly all-Jewish cast was also remarked upon by the ''Los Angeles Times'' blog, which noted that whenever Jews are more open about their Jewish identity it is a \"healthy development\".\n\nLucas, however, openly opposed the New York City's Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Transgender Community Center's recent (2011) decision to allow a group that opposes Israeli government policies toward Palestinians to meet there. \"Calling the Center an 'anti-Israeli nest' and Glennda Testone the Center's executive director and Mario Palumbo, the Center's board president, 'staunch anti-Zionists,' Lucas, in a series of emails, asked friends to stop donating to the Center and to contact elected officials to stop any government support.\" \"Asked ... to compare the response to his most recent boycott threat to an earlier one, Lucas wrote, 'This group has had their first and last meeting in the Center. If someone fucks with Israel, I fuck them back. And I usually win.'\u201d\n" "Film lines" "'''Lucas Entertainment''' \u2013 The flagship brand featuring gay sex with men in their 20s and 30s.\n\n'''Lucas Raunch''' \u2013 An extreme fetish line. The first releases were ''FARTS!'' and ''PISS!''. In February 2009 the Canada Border Services Agency detained and banned both films. The CBSA's ''Policy On The Classification Of Obscene Material'' states that the \"ingestion of someone else's urine... with a sexual purpose\" made the films obscene, which was cause for banning them.\n\n'''Sex In Suits''' \u2013 The studio's third line to be launched as its own independent website. Sex In Suits collects Lucas Entertainment's \"Gentlemen\" line of gay adult films featuring men in suits and other business-oriented items. The scenes are filmed in professional settings, allowing the studio to take advantage of its New York City home base. Current scenes on the Sex In Suits website feature bareback sex content.\n" "Publicity campaigns" "In 2007 LE sent out a fake press release stating that Lucas had been found dead in his apartment. A photo accompanying the release showed what appeared to be a bound, lifeless Lucas with a conspicuous bruise on his face. ''New York'' magazine's ''Daily Intel'' blog questioned the timing of the stunt, which occurred one week after the surprise death of New York performer and Velvet Mafia singer Dean Johnson. The resulting media attention won the studio an Xbiz Award for Best Publicity Stunt.\n\nIn conjunction with the German publisher Bruno Gm\u00fcnder, the studio released the photography book ''Michael Lucas' Gigolos'', which featured many LE models in highly sexualized situations. It included work by photographer Joe Oppedisano, and was lauded for its high production quality as it was designed to be a pornographic fashion book to accompany the studio's film release ''Gigolos''.\n\nAfter the Lucas Raunch releases ''FARTS!'' and ''PISS!'' were banned in Canada, Lucas released a letter in the media addressed to President Barack Obama asking for him to intercede on the studio's behalf at an upcoming summit with the Canadian Prime Minister Stephen Harper.\n\nThe LGBT blog ''Queerty'' responded to a studio marketing video that showed Michael Lucas simulating oral sex both with and on a Barbie doll. While acknowledging the overt attempt to draw traffic to his site with the video as linkbait, ''Queerty'' expressed admiration for Lucas' ability to create buzz for his company in the rapidly changing adult entertainment industry.\n" "Awards and recognition" "The studio has garnered many GayVN Awards and Adult Erotic Gay Video Awards (\"Grabbys\") nominations and wins.\n\nTimothy Greenfield-Sanders profiled Lucas in his 2004 book ''XXX: 30 Porn Star Photographs'' and the accompanying HBO documentary ''Thinking XXX''. Greenfield-Sanders asked Lucas, then still primarily known as a performer, for a list of his ten favorite films; the films he listed were all from his own production company.\n\nAt the 2009 GayVN Awards studio head Lucas was inducted into the GayVN Hall of Fame.\n\nThe studio also received a nomination for a 2010 XBIZ Award in the category of GLBT Company of the Year.\n\n\n\n Year\n Film\n Actors\n Awards\n\n 2000\n ''Fire Island Cruising''\n Michael Lucas\n GayVN Award for Best Solo Performance\n\n2001\n ''Top to Bottom''\n\n GayVN Award for Best Ethnic-Themed Video\n\n ''Vengeance''\n Chad HuntErik MartinsCarlos Morales\n GayVN Award for Best ThreesomeGrabby Award for Best Threesome\n\n2004\n ''Michael Lucas' Auditions 1''\n\n GayVN Awards for Best PRO/AM Release\n\n2005\n ''Michael Lucas' Dangerous Liaisons''\n Gus MattoxMichael LucasKent Larson\n Grabby Award for Best Actor (Mattox)GayVN Awards for Best DVD Extras/Special Edition; Best Screenplay (Tony DiMarco); Best Supporting Actor (Larson); Best Picture;\n\n ''Michael Lucas' Auditions 4''\n\n GayVN Awards for Best PRO/AM Release\n\n2006\n ''Michael Lucas' La Dolce Vita''\n Michael LucasSpencer QuestJason RidgeDerrick Hanson\n GayVN Awards for Best Actor (Lucas); Best Art Direction; Best Director (Lucas and Tony DiMarco); Best DVD Extras/Special Edition; Best Editing (Frank Tyler); Best Marketing Campaign; Best Music (Nekked); Best Non-Sex Performance (Savanna Samson); Best Packaging; Best Screenplay (Tony DiMarco); Best Supporting Actor (Quest); Best Threesome (Lucas/Ridge/Hanson); Best Videography; Best Picture;\n\n2007\n ''The Intern''\n Christian Cruz\n GayVN Awards for Best Non-Sex Performance (Jason Shepard); Best Renting Title of 2007; Best Sex Comedy; Best Supporting Actor (Cruz)\n\n2008\n ''Brother Reunion''\n\n GayVN Awards for Best Non-Sex Performance (Lady Bunny)\n\n ''Return to Fire Island''\n\n GayVN Awards for Best Packaging\n\n\n2011\n\n\n XBIZ Award for Gay Web Company of the Year\n\n\n2012\n ''Assassin''\n\nXBIZ Award for Gay Movie of the Year\n\n\n2013\n\n\nXBIZ Award for Gay Studio of the year\n\n\n2014\n ''Original Sinners''\n\nXBIZ Award for Gay Movie of the Year\n\n\n\n" "Notable Directors" "* Michael Lucas\n* mr.

"Mad as a Mars Hare" "Introduction" "\n\n'''''Mad as a Mars Hare''''' is a 1963 Warner Bros. Merrie Melodies cartoon featuring Bugs Bunny and Marvin the Martian. The cartoon's title is a play-on-words of the famous phrase to be \"mad as a March hare\", the origins of which are disputed.\n\nThis marks the final pairing of Bugs and Marvin, as well as the final appearance of the latter.\n" "Plot" "This cartoon begins with Marvin the Martian observing the planet Earth from Mars through a telescope. He is examining a rocket launch that is taking place. As he watches, the rocket takes off from Earth and soon appears to be heading straight towards him. Indeed, the rocket ploughs right through his observatory and once a shaken Marvin gets himself up, he says to the audience \"I'm not angry, just terribly, terribly hurt!\" Soon enough, the rocket lands on Mars, and a reluctant Bugs Bunny exits it. It is quickly apparent that he is the only occupant and he has been lured onto the rocket by a carrot and then sent to Mars as what Earth considered an expendable \u201castro-rabbit.\u201d\n\nBugs immediately claims Mars as his own (using a metal carrot with a flag inside which plays Yankee Doodle), in the name of Earth. However, Marvin does not agree with this and decides that he will not allow Bugs to take his planet away from him. After a failed attempt to disintegrate the rabbit with his disintegrating pistol (which resulted in Marvin getting disintegrated himself and going off to be re-integrated; \"Being disintegrated makes me very angry! huff, puff Very angry indeed!\"), Marvin gets his Time-Space Gun and intends to project Bugs forward into time so he can use him as a useful but harmless slave. However, when Marvin zaps Bugs he realises too late that he had the gun in reverse, so Bugs is reverted into a huge and muscular Neanderthal Rabbit, who immediately grabs Marvin and crushes him with just one hand; Marvin goes off to be regenerated again, while saying: \"Well, back to the old electronic brain!\" (a possible reference to Hare-Way to the Stars). Bugs then breaks the fourth Wall while speaking to the audience about how when he gets back to Earth old Elmer Fudd and the rest of the hunters are due for a ''big surprise'' before eating the metal carrot.\n" "Availability" "\"''Mad as a Mars Hare''\" is available on the ''Bugs Bunny: Hare Extraordinare'' DVD. However, it was cropped to widescreen. It is also being shown fully screened on the ''Looney Tunes Platinum Collection: Volume 1'' Blu-ray box-set. And it soon be available on the DVD version of the Looney Tunes Platinum Collection.\n" "External links" "* Mad as a Mars Hare at Internet Movie Database\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n"
"Madhubala" "Introduction" "\n\n\n\n'''Madhubala''' (14 February 1933 \u2013 23 February 1969) (born '''Mumtaz Jehan Dehlavi''') was an Indian film actress who appeared in classic films of Hindi cinema. She was active between 1942 and 1960. Along with her contemporaries Nargis and Meena Kumari, she is often regarded as one of the most influential personalities of Hindi cinema. She is also considered to be one of the most beautiful actresses to have worked in the industry and is highly regarded as \"The Venus of Indian Cinema\" and \"The Beauty with Tragedy\".\n\nOften drawing comparison from American actress Marilyn Monroe, Madhubala received wide recognition for her performances in films like ''Mahal'' (1949), ''Amar'' (1954), ''Mr. & Mrs. '55'' (1955), ''Chalti Ka Naam Gaadi'' (1958), ''Mughal-e-Azam'' (1960) and ''Barsaat Ki Raat'' (1960). Madhubala's performance in ''Mughal-e-Azam'' established her as an iconic actress of Hindi Cinema. Her last film, ''Jwala'', although shot in the 1950s, was released in 1971. Madhubala died on 23 February 1969 after a prolonged illness.\n" "Early life" "\nMadhubala was born Mumtaz Jehan Dehlavi, on 14 February 1933 in Delhi, India. She was a native Pashto-speaker. Her father was Attaullah Khan, a Yusufzai Pashtun from the Swabi District of North-West Frontier Province(modern-day Khyber Pakhtunkhwa of Pakistan), and her mother was Ayesha Begum. She belonged to an orthodox middle-class family and was the fifth of eleven children. After her father lost his job at the Imperial Tobacco Company in Peshawar, he relocated to Delhi followed by Mumbai. There, the family endured many hardships. Madhubala's three sisters and two brothers died at the age of five and six. The dock explosion and fire of April 14, 1944 wiped out their small home. The family survived only because they had gone to see a film at a local theater. With his six remaining daughters to provide for, Khan, and the young Madhubala, began to pay frequent visits to Bombay film studios to look for work. At the age of 9, this was Madhubala's introduction to the movie industry, which would provide financial help to her family. Madhubala married Kishore Kumar.\n" "Early career" "\nMadhubala's first movie, ''Basant'' (1942), was a box-office success. She acted as the daughter to a mother played by actress Mumtaz Shanti. As a child actress she went on to play in several movies. Actress Devika Rani was impressed by her performance and potential, and advised her to assume the screen name 'Madhubala', literally meaning \"honey belle\". Her first lead role, at the age of 14, was with producer Kidar Sharma when he cast her opposite Raj Kapoor in ''Neel Kamal'' (1947). This was the last film in which she was credited as Mumtaz before assuming her screen name 'Madhubala'. She achieved stardom and popularity in 1949 when she was cast as the lead in Bombay Talkies studio's ''Mahal'' \u2013 a role intended for well-known star Suraiya. Madhubala, with established actresses, screen-tested for the role before she was selected by the film's director Kamal Amrohi. The film was the third largest hit at the 1949 Indian box office. Following the success of ''Mahal'', Madhubala appeared in the box office hits ''Dulari'' (1949), ''Beqasoor'' (1950), ''Tarana'' (1951) and ''Badal'' (1951).\n" "Hollywood interest" "In the early 1950s, as Madhubala became one of the most sought-after actresses in India, she attracted interest from Hollywood. She appeared in the American magazine ''Theatre Arts'' where, in its August 1952 issue, she was featured in an article with a full page photograph under the title: \"The Biggest Star in the World - and she's not in Beverly Hills\". The article described Madhubala's immense popularity in India, and explored her wide appeal and large fan base. It also speculated on her potential international success. Academy Award winner American director Frank Capra, while visiting Bombay for International Film Festival of India, was keen to give her a break in Hollywood, but her father Ataullah Khan declined.\n" "Stardom" "\nMadhubala's co-stars Ashok Kumar, Raj Kapoor, Rehman, Pradeep Kumar, Shammi Kapoor, Dilip Kumar, Sunil Dutt and Dev Anand were the most popular of the period. She also appeared with Kamini Kaushal, Suraiya, Geeta Bali, Nalini Jaywant, Shyama and Nimmi, notable leading ladies. The directors she worked with, Mehboob Khan (''Amar''), Guru Dutt (''Mr. & Mrs. '55''), Kamal Amrohi (''Mahal'') and K. Asif (''Mughal-e-Azam''), were amongst the most prolific and respected. Madhubala also became a producer with the film ''Naata'' (1955), in which she also acted. She also produced ''Mahlon Ke Khwab'' (1960) and acted in it\n\nDuring the 1950s, Madhubala took starring roles in almost every genre of film being made at the time. Her 1950 film ''Hanste Aansoo'' was the first ever Hindi film to get an \"A\" \u2013 adults only \u2013 rating from the Central Board of Film Certification. She was the archetypal fair lady in the swashbuckler ''Badal'' (1951), and following this, an uninhibited village beauty in ''Tarana'' (1951). She played the traditional ideal of Indian womanhood in ''Sangdil'' (1952), and produced a comic performance as the spoilt heiress, Anita, in Guru Dutt's satire ''Mr. & Mrs. '55'' (1955). In 1956, she acted in costume dramas such as ''Shirin-Farhad'' and ''Raj-Hath'', and played a double role in the social drama ''Kal Hamara Hai'' (1959). In the mid-1950s, her films including the major ones like Mehboob Khan's ''Amar'' (1954) did not do well commercially. However, she bounced back between 1958 and 1960 when she starred in a series of hit films. These include ''Howrah Bridge'', opposite Ashok Kumar where she played the role of an Anglo-Indian Cabaret singer involved in Calcutta's Chinatown underworld. In the song ''Aaiye Meherebaan'' from this film, she lip-synced a torch song dubbed by Asha Bhosle which has remained popular to this day. Among other successful films, she played opposite Bharat Bhushan in ''Phagun''; Dev Anand in ''Kala Pani''; Kishore Kumar in ''Chalti Ka Naam Gaadi''; and Bharat Bushan again in ''Barsaat Ki Raat'' (1960). Then in 1960, she appeared in the magnum opus Mughal-e-Azam.\n\nMadhubala acted in as many as seventy films from 1947 to 1964, and only fifteen of which were box office successes. Dilip Kumar regrets that \"(h)ad she lived, and had she selected her films with more care, she would have been far superior to her contemporaries ...\" Kumar also points out that \"actresses those days faced a lot of difficulties and constraints in their career. Unable to assert themselves too much, they fell back on their families who became their caretakers and defined everything for them.\"\n" "''Mughal-e-Azam'' and later work" "It was the film ''Mughal-e-Azam'' that marked what many consider to be Madhubala's greatest and definitive characterization, as the doomed courtesan, Anarkali. Although the film took nine years to complete, it was not until 1953 when Madhubala was finally chosen for the role. Bunny Reuben in his Book ''Dilip Kumar: Star Legend of Indian Cinema'' claimed that Dilip Kumar's role was instrumental behind this selection. ''Mughal-e-Azam'' gave Madhubala the opportunity of fulfilling herself totally as an actress, for it was a role that all actresses dreamt of playing, as Nimmi acknowledges that \"as an actress, one gets a lot of roles, there is no shortage of them, but there isn\u2019t always good scope for acting. With ''Mughal-e-Azam'', Madhubala showed the world just what she could do.\"\n\nMadhubala in ''Mughal-e-Azam''However, by the late 1950s, her health was deteriorating rapidly, and director K. Asif, probably unaware of the extent of Madhubala's illness, required long shooting schedules that made physical demands on her, whether it was posing as a veiled statue in suffocating make-up for hours under the studio lights or being shackled with heavy chains. It was also a time when Madhubala's relationship with Dilip Kumar was fading out, and \"the lives of Madhubala and her screen character are consistently seen as overlapping, it is because of the overwhelming sense of loss and tragedy and the unrelenting diktat of destiny that clung to both and which neither could escape\".\n\n''Mughal-e-Azam'' was released on 5 August 1960, and became the highest-grossing film at that time, a record that went unbroken for 15 years until the release of the film Sholay in 1975. Madhubhala was nominated for a Filmfare Award for her performance in ''Mughal-e-Azam''.\n\nIn 1960, Madhubala was at the peak of her career and popularity with the release of ''Mughal-e-Azam'' and ''Barsaat Ki Raat''. She did have intermittent releases in the early 1960s. Some of these, like ''Jhumroo'' (1961), ''Half Ticket'' (1962) and ''Sharabi'' (1964), performed above average at the box-office. However, most of her other films released during this time were marred by her absence and subsequent lack of completion due to her prolonged illness. These films suffer from compromised editing, and in some cases the use of \"doubles\" in an attempt to patch-in scenes that Madhubala was unable to shoot. Her last released film ''Jwala'', although filmed in the late 1950s, was not issued until 1971.\n" "Personal life and controversies" "In their 1962 book ''Self-Portrait'', Harish Booch and Karing Doyle commented that \"unlike other stars, Madhubala prefers a veiled secrecy around her and is seldom seen in social gatherings or public functions\" (p.\u00a076), and went on to say that \"(c)ontrary to general belief, Madhubala is rather simple and unassuming\" (p.\u00a078). This is echoed in Madhubala's sister's interview with the Filmfare: \"(Madhubala) became a craze because she was never seen in public. She wasn\u2019t allowed to attend any function, any premiere. She had no friends. But she never resisted, she was obedient. Being protective, my father earned the reputation of being domineering\". Dilip Kumar added, \"She was extremely popular ... and I think the only star for whom people thronged outside the gates. Very often when shooting was over, there\u2019d be a vast crowd standing at the gates just to have a look at Madhu ... It wasn\u2019t so for anyone else. That was her personal effect on fans. Her personality was vivacious.\" But, \"she was aware of her beauty,\" reminisces B. K. Karanjia, former Filmfare editor and a close friend of both Madhubala and her father, \"and because there were so many in love with her, she used to play one against the other. But it was out of innocence rather than shrewd calculation.\" Dev Anand recalled in a similar way: \"(s)he liked to flirt innocently and was great fun.\" However, with Dilip Kumar she had a long association.\n\nDilip Kumar and Madhubala first met on the set of ''Jwar Bhata'' (1944), and worked together again on the film ''Har Singaar'' (1949), which was shelved. Their relationship began two years later during the filming of ''Tarana'' (1951). They became a romantic pair appearing in a total of four films together. Actor Shammi Kapoor recalled that \"Dilip Kumar would drive down from Bombay to meet Madhubala ... she was committed to Dilip ... he even flew to Bombay to spend Eid with her, taking time off from his shooting stint ...\" \"They even got engaged\", said Madhubala's sister. But, Madhubala's father Ataullah Khan did not give them permission to marry. Dilip Kumar said, \"She was a very, very obedient daughter\", and who, in spite of the success, fame and wealth, submitted to the domination of her father and more often than not paid for his mistakes. \"This inability to leave her family was her greatest drawback\", believed Shammi Kapoor, \"for it had to be done at some time.\" The Naya Daur (1957 film) court case happened in 1956 when Dilip Kumar testified against Madhubala and her father in favor of the director B.R. Chopra in open court. This struck a fatal blow to the Dilip-Madhubala relationship as it ended any chance of reconciliation between Dilip Kumar and Madhubala'a father. Reflecting on this, while Dilip Kumar said he was \"trapped\", Shammi Kapoor felt \"this was something which went beyond him (Dilip) and he couldn\u2019t control the whole situation ...\" However, Madhubala's sister Madhur Bhushan claimed that \"(Madhubala) said she would marry him (Dilip), provided he apologised to her father. He refused, so Madhubala left him. That one 'sorry' could have changed her life.\"\n\nMadhubala married Kishore Kumar in 1960 after Kishore Kumar converted to Islam and took up the name ''Karim Abdul'', and according to Leena Chandavarkar (Kishore's fourth wife): \"When she realized Dilip was not going to marry her, on the rebound and just to prove to him that she could get whomsoever she wanted, she went and married a man she did not even know properly.\" B. K. Karanjia assumed that \"Madhubala may have felt that perhaps this was her best chance\" because by this time she became seriously ill, and was about to stop working completely; however, he added that \"it was a most unlikely union, and not a happy one either.\" Madhubala's illness was known to Kishore, but like all the others, he did not realize its gravity; Ataullah Khan did not approve of his son-in-law at all, but he had lost the courage to disapprove. Ashok Kumar reminisced in a ''Filmfare'' interview: \"She suffered a lot and her illness made her very bad-tempered. She often fought with Kishore, and would take off to her father's house where she spent most of her time.\" Madhubala's sister echoes this view albeit in a slightly different tone: \"After marriage they flew to London where the doctor told her she had only two years to live. After that Kishore left her at our house saying, \u2018I can\u2019t look after her. I\u2019m on outdoors often\u2019. But she wanted to be with him. He\u2019d visit her once in two months though. Maybe he wanted to detach himself from her so that the final separation wouldn\u2019t hurt. But he never abused her as was reported. He bore her medical expenses. They remained married for nine years.\"\n\nHowever, Madhubala's love-life continued to be the subject of media speculation. Mohan Deep wrote an unofficial biography of Madhubala titled ''Mystery and Mystique of Madhubala'', published in 1996, where he claims that Kishore Kumar regularly whipped Madhubala, who would show her lashes to Shakti Samanta. Mohan Deep also questions whether Madhubala was really ill or whether her ailing was a fiction. Shammi Kapoor, a long-term colleague of Madhubala, refuted Mohan Deep's claims, which he described as being \"in bad taste\". Paidi Jairaj, and Shakti Samanta, both of whom worked with Madhubala, rejected Deep's biography emphasizing the glaring difference between fact and fiction, and film journalist M.S.M. Desai, who had worked as a journalist on Madhubala's sets, questioned Deep's method of research saying, \"Mohan Deep was not around at the time of Madhubala, so how is he capable of writing about her without resorting to hearsay?\"\n" " Final years and death " "Prithviraj Kapoor visiting the grave of Madhubala in 1969\n\nMadhubala had ventricular septal defect (a hole in her heart) which was detected while she was shooting for ''Bahut Din Huwe'' in Madras in 1954. By 1960, her condition aggravated, and her sister explains that \"due to her ailment, her body would produce extra blood. So it would spill out from the nose and mouth. The doctor would come home and extract bottles of blood. She also suffered from pulmonary pressure of the lungs. She coughed all the time. Every four to five hours she had to be given oxygen or else would get breathless. She was confined to bed for nine years and was reduced to just bones and skin\". In 1966, with a slight improvement in her health, she made a valiant attempt to complete her work in ''Chalak'' opposite Raj Kapoor, which needed only a short spell of shooting, but she could not even survive that strain. When acting was no longer an option Madhubala turned her attention to film direction. In 1969 she was set to make her directorial debut with the film ''Farz aur Ishq''. However the film was never made as during pre-production, she died on February 23, 1969, shortly after her 36th birthday. Her tomb was built with marble and inscriptions included aayats from the Quran and verse dedications. Controversially, her tomb was demolished in 2010 to make space for new graves.\n\nMadhubala's strong presence in the public memory has been evidenced by all recent polls about top actresses or beauties of the Indian cinema. Every year, on her birthday, numerous articles are printed and television programmes aired to commemorate her, to the present day. Her posters are still in demand and sold alongside contemporary actresses, and modern magazines continue to publish stories on her personal life and career, often promoting her name heavily on the covers to attract sales. Many believe, however, Madhubala remains one of the most underrated actresses as \"her beauty attracted more attention than her talent.\"\n\nIn 2004, a digitally-colorized version of the original ''Mughal-e-Azam'' was released, 35 years after her death. In 2012, her 1962 release ''Half Ticket'' was also remastered, digitally coloured and re-released.\n\nOn March 18, 2008, a commemorative postage stamp featuring Madhubala was issued. The stamp was produced by India Post in a limited edition presentation pack. It was launched by veteran actors Nimmi and Manoj Kumar in a ceremony attended by colleagues, friends and surviving members of Madhubala's family. The only other Indian film actress that was honoured in this manner was Nargis Dutt, at that point of time.\n" "Filmography" "{| class=\"wikitable sortable plainrowheaders\"\n\n Year\n Film\n Director\n Notes\n\n 1942\n ''Basant''\n Amiya Chakravarty\n as Manju; credited as Baby Mumtaz\n\n 1944\n ''Mumtaz Mahal''\nKidar Sharma\nas a child artiste\n\n 1945\n ''Dhanna Bhagat''\nKidar Sharma\nas a child artiste\n\n 1946\n ''Pujari''\nAspi\nas a child artiste\n\n 1946\n ''Phoolwari''\nChaturbhuj Doshi\nas a child artiste\n\n 1946\n ''Rajputani''\nAspi\nas a child artiste\n\n 1947\n ''Neel Kamal (1947 film)''\nKidar Sharma\nFirst film as a heroine\n\n 1947\n ''Chittar Vijay''\nMohan Sinha\n\n\n 1947\n ''Mere Bhagwan''\nMohan Sinha\n\n\n 1947\n ''Khubsoorat Duniya''\nMohan Sinha\n\n\n 1947\n ''Dil-Ki-Rani''\nMohan Sinha\nas Raj Kumari Singh\n\n 1948\n ''Parai Aag''\nNajm Naqvi\n\n\n 1948\n ''Lal Dupatta''\nK.B.Lall\n\n\n 1948\n ''Desh Sewa''\nN.Vakil\n\n\n 1948\n ''Amar Prem''\nN.M.Kelkar\n\n\n 1949\n ''Sipahiya''\nAspi\n\n\n 1949\n ''Singaar''\nJ.K.Nanda\n\n\n 1949\n ''Paras''\nAnant Thakur\nas Priya\n\n 1949\n ''Neki Aur Badi''\nKidar Sharma\n\n\n 1949\n ''Mahal''\nKamal Amrohi\nas Kamini\n\n 1949\n ''Imtihaan''\nMohan Sinha\n\n\n 1949\n ''Dulari''\nA.

"Matthieu Charneau" "Introduction" "\n'''Matthieu Charneau''' (born November 23, 1988, in France) is a French actor and model.\n \nHe debuted as a model at age 21 after being spotted by a photographer during a visit to Paris.\n\nIn 2011 Nicola Formichetti chose him to play in his short film Brothers Of Arcadia for MUGLER. The film is directed by Branislav Jancik in New York and was broadcast at the opening of the Mugler show during Fashion Week in Paris. This collaboration launched Matthieu\u2019s success in the fashion industry and in late 2011 he made his move to Paris.\n\nIn 2012 he began training at the prestigious European Acting School Cours Florent. That same year he became a muse for the famous French artists Pierre & Gilles. He posed in three of their photographs entitled ''Johnny Guitar'', ''Narcissus'' and ''Oh\u00e9 Matelot''. After various publications, including the cover of the British magazine Yearbook by Laurent Humbert and an exclusive portrait for Butt Magazine by Luis Venegas, he was chosen as part of the jury for the French Film Festival Ch\u00e9ries-Ch\u00e9ris together with Spanish actress Rossy de Palma and French writer and screenwriter Philippe Besson.\n\nIn 2013 the young actor appeared on the cover of the French cultural and political magazine Les Inrockuptibles for their special issue, \u201cHomophobie, c\u2019est pas Bient\u00f4t Fini?!\u201d He also posed for fashion photographer Damon Baker.

"Mental disorders in film" "Introduction" "\n\nMany films have portrayed '''mental disorders''' or used them as backdrops for other themes. This is a list of some of those '''films''', sorted by disorder, regardless of whether or not the disorder is portrayed accurately. Thus, though ''50 First Dates'' presents a case of anterograde amnesia, the type depicted does not really exist.\n\nIn particular, owing to the nature of drama, extreme and florid manifestations of any given disorder tend to prevail over the more subtle ones typical of the average case. For example, people with agoraphobia are generally portrayed in drama as recluses who never, or almost never, venture from their homes; in reality this is rare and extreme, not typical of the agoraphobic population.\n" "[[Amnesia]]" "\n===Anterograde amnesia===\nA person with anterograde amnesia is unable to form new memories. \n \n*''Clean Slate'' \u2013 1994 \n*''Winter Sleepers'' \u2013

"Minako Kotobuki" "Introduction" "\n\n is a Japanese actress, voice actress and singer. She is best known for her role as Tsumugi Kotobuki in the anime series ''K-On!'' about a high school girl band. The show launched her music career as she performed the opening and ending themes and joined the three other voice actresses as the music group Sphere.\n" "Acting career" "At the age of three years, Kotobuki and her parents were caught up in the Kobe earthquake. Not long after having seen a 1997 Japanese film entitled ''Chikyuu ga Ugoita Hi'' (\"The Day the Earth Moved\"), all of these events inspired Kotobuki to pursue a career in voice acting.\n\nKotobuki's most notable role in the span of her voice acting career is Tsumugi Kotobuki from ''K-On!''. She has also played various popular voice roles such as Karina Lyle/Blue Rose from ''Tiger & Bunny'', Mitsuko Kong\u014d from the ''Index'' and ''Railgun'' anime series, Y\u016bko Nishi from ''A Channel'', and Natsumi Aizawa from ''Natsuiro Kiseki''.\n" "Music career" "Kotobuki began her musical career with the performance of the opening and ending themes of the 2009 anime series ''K-On!'' with fellow voice actresses Aki Toyosaki, Y\u014dko Hikasa, and Satomi Sat\u014d. Shortly after, she performed the opening theme of the 2009 ''Hatsukoi Limited'' series with Aki Toyosaki, Ayahi Takagaki, and Haruka Tomatsu. The four are affiliated with Music Ray'n, an artist management and publishing group of Sony Music Entertainment. They are currently known as the musical group Sphere and released their first single, \"Future Stream\", on April 22, 2009.\n\nCoupled with the release of her first album ''My Stride'', Kotobuki had her first solo Japan-wide concert tour entitled ''Our Stride'' in 2012 spanning across four dates and venues starting from November 18 in Kobe's International House Kokusai Hall and ending on December 9 in \u014cmiya's Sonic City Hall.\n\nKotobuki is said to be \"the fastest learner on how to dance\" among her peers as far as her being a member of Sphere goes so much that she even guides the other three members of Sphere on dancing. Even in singing, Kotobuki is said to learn just as fast, \"a pro in harmonization\" according to her fellow cast mate in K-On!, Satomi Sat\u014d and \"someone who has good sense in pitch\" according to one of K-On's staff members in charge of music.\n\nDuring her stint in both seasons of the K-On! anime series, she and her fellow cast members were involved in two live events, and just like the character she portrayed in K-On!, she was in charge of playing the keyboard in both occasions. She also played the keyboard on some of her own songs during her ''Our Stride'' solo concert tour and on Sphere's first 2013 live event, ''Music Rainbow 02''.\n\nShe also participated in the anime series, Aikatsu! and was the voice actress of Kanzaki Mizuki.\n" "Discography" "\n===Singles===\n*\"Shiny+\" (September 15, 2010)\n*\"Startline\" (November 24, 2010)\n*\"Dear my...\" (September 14, 2011)\n*\"Kokoro Sky\" (April 11, 2012)\n*\"Prism\" (June 19, 2013)\n*\"Pretty Fever\" (November 20, 2013)\n*\"Believe x\" (Believe Cross) (April 16, 2014)\n*\"black hole\" (April 8, 2015)\n*\"Candy Color Pop\" (September 16, 2015)\n*\"Bye Bye Blue\" (March 2, 2016)\n*\"Million Litmus\" (December 7, 2016)\n\n===Albums===\n* ''My Stride'' ()\n* ''Tick'' ()\n" "Filmography" "\n\n=== Live-action film ===\n;2005 \n*''Hibi'' - Young Kumiko Kamiyama\n;2006 \n*''Ghost of Yesterday'' - Fumiko\n*''Koufuku no Switch'' - Young Hitomi\n*''Hinami'' - Mina, Satsuki\n;2008 \n*''Bluebird'' - Michiru\n*''-x- (Minus Kakeru Minus)'' - Rin Fujimoto\n;2013\n*''Schoolgirl Complex: Broadcasting Club Edition'' - Ikumi Motonishi (School teacher)\n;2014\n*''Kiki's Delivery Service (2014 film)'' - Jiji\n*''Onodera no Ot\u014dto, Onodera no Ane'' - Asako Sait\u014d\n\n===Anime===\n;2006\n*''Red Garden'' (anime voice-over debut) - Student C, Grace A\n\n;2007\n*''Kamichama Karin'' - Kirika (5 years old)\n\n;2008\n*''Ky\u014dran Kazoku Nikki'' - Hijiri Yamaguchi\n*''Birdy the Mighty: Decode'' - Kanae Kitamura\n\n;2009\n*''Hatsukoi Limited'' - Rika Dobashi\n*''K-On!'' - Tsumugi Kotobuki\n*''Umi Monogatari: Anata ga Ite Kureta Koto'' - Kanon Miyamori\n*''A Certain Scientific Railgun'' - Mitsuko Kongou\n*''Yoku Wakaru Gendai Mah\u014d'' - Kaho Sakazaki\n*''Hell Girl: Triangle'' - Kaname Shimura\n*''Sora no Manimani'' - Emiri, Youko Matoba, Hachiman, Sayaka Akiyama\n*''Birdy the Mighty: Decode 02'' - Kanae Kitamura, Mirun\n*''Heaven's Lost Property'' - Tsukino Hououin\n*''Guin Saga'' - Alumina\n\n;2010\n*''Asobi ni iku yo!'' - Chaika\n*''Chu-Bra!!'' - Yako Jing\u016bji\n*''Hyakka Ry\u014dran Samurai Girls'' - Sen Tokugawa\n*''K-On!!'' - Tsumugi Kotobuki\n*''Otome Youkai Zakuro'' - Daidai\n*''Mayoi Neko Overrun!'' - Young Takumi\n*''Lilpri'' - Tenko Okamoto\n*''\u014ckami-san and Her Seven Companions'' - Chuutarou Nezumi\n*''A Certain Magical Index II'' - Mitsuko Kongou\n*''Demon King Daimao'' - Arnoul\n*''The Legend of the Legendary Heroes'' - Naia Knolles (Kiefer's sister)\n*''Yumeiro Patissiere'' - Dominic\n\n;2011\n*''A Channel'' - Y\u016bko Nishi\n*''Coicent'' (OVA) - Toto\n*''Guilty Crown'' - Kanon Kusama\n*''Dog Days'' - Vert Far Breton\n*''Many\u016b Hiken-ch\u014d'' - Chifusa Many\u016b\n*''Ro-Kyu-Bu!'' - Natsuhi Takenaka\n*''Softenni'' - Misaki Shidou\n*''Tiger & Bunny'' - Karina Lyle/Blue Rose\n*''Hanasaku Iroha'' - Eri Mizuno\n*''Tamayura: Hitotose'' - Chihiro Miyoshi\n*''Beelzebub'' - Yolda, Kaoru Umemiya\n*''Wandering Son'' - Kobayashi\n*''Horizon in the Middle of Nowhere'' - Gin Tachibana\n*''Un-Go'' - Sayo Izawa\n\n;2012\n*''Natsuiro Kiseki'': Natsumi Aizawa\n*''Mobile Suit Gundam AGE'' - Fram Nara\n*''Medaka Box'' - Nekomi Nabeshima\n*''Medaka Box Abnormal'' - Nekomi Nabeshima\n*''Dog Days`'' - Vert Far Breton\n*''Aikatsu!'' - Mizuki Kanzaki\n*''Inazuma Eleven Go: Chrono Stone'' - Jeanne d'Arc\n*''Hyouka'' - Henmi\n*''Tari Tari'' - Youko Mizuno\n*''Sukitte Ii na yo'' - Megumi Kitagawa\n*''Sket Dance'' - Akina\n*''Queen's Blade Rebellion'' - Izumi\n*''Horizon in the Middle of Nowhere II'' - Gin Tachibana, Matsu\n*''Pok\u00e9mon: Black & White'' - Stella\n\n;2013\n*''Dokidoki!

"Mouse" "Introduction" "\n\n\n\n\n\n\nA '''mouse''' (plural: '''mice''') is a small rodent characteristically having a pointed snout, small rounded ears, a body-length scaly tail and a high breeding rate. The best known mouse species is the common house mouse (''Mus musculus''). It is also a popular pet. In some places, certain kinds of field mice are locally common. They are known to invade homes for food and shelter.\n\nDomestic mice sold as pets often differ substantially in size from the common house mouse. This is attributable both to breeding and to different conditions in the wild. The most well known strain, the white lab mouse, has more uniform traits that are appropriate to its use in research.\n\nThe American white-footed mouse (''Peromyscus leucopus'') and the ''deer mouse'' (''Peromyscus maniculatus''), as well as other common species of mouse-like rodents around the world, also sometimes live in houses. These, however, are in other genera.\n\nCats, wild dogs, foxes, birds of prey, snakes and even certain kinds of arthropods have been known to prey heavily upon mice. Nevertheless, because of its remarkable adaptability to almost any environment, the mouse is one of the most successful mammalian genera living on Earth today.\n\nMice, in certain contexts, can be considered vermin which are a major source of crop damage, causing structural damage and spreading diseases through their parasites and feces. In North America, breathing dust that has come in contact with mouse excrement has been linked to hantavirus, which may lead to hantavirus pulmonary syndrome (HPS).\n\nPrimarily nocturnal animals, mice compensate for their poor eyesight with a keen sense of hearing, and rely especially on their sense of smell to locate food and avoid predators.\n\nMice build intricate burrows in the wild. These burrows typically have long entrances and are equipped with escape tunnels or routes. In at least one species, the architectural design of a burrow is a genetic trait.\n" " Reproduction " "one-day-old pups\nBreeding onset is at about 50 days of age in both females and males, although females may have their first estrus at 25\u201340 days. Mice are polyestrous and breed year round; ovulation is spontaneous. The duration of the estrous cycle is 4\u20135 days and estrus itself lasts about 12 hours, occurring in the evening. Vaginal smears are useful in timed matings to determine the stage of the estrous cycle. Mating is usually nocturnal and may be confirmed by the presence of a copulatory plug in the vagina up to 24 hours post-copulation. The presence of sperm on a vaginal smear is also a reliable indicator of mating.\n\nFemale mice housed together tend to go into anestrus and do not cycle. If exposed to a male mouse or the pheromones of a male mouse, most of the females will go into estrus in about 72 hours. This synchronization of the estrous cycle is known as the Whitten effect. The exposure of a recently bred mouse to the pheromones of a strange male mouse may prevent implantation (or pseudopregnancy), a phenomenon known as the Bruce effect.\n\nThe average gestation period is 20 days. A fertile postpartum estrus occurs 14\u201324 hours following parturition, and simultaneous lactation and gestation prolongs gestation 3\u201310 days owing to delayed implantation. The average litter size is 10\u201312 during optimum production, but is highly strain-dependent. As a general rule, inbred mice tend to have longer gestation periods and smaller litters than outbred and hybrid mice. The young are called pups and weigh at birth, are hairless, and have closed eyelids and ears. Cannibalism is uncommon, but females should not be disturbed during parturition and for at least 2 days postpartum. Pups are weaned at 3 weeks of age; weaning weight is . If the postpartum estrus is not utilized, the female resumes cycling 2\u20135 days post-weaning.\n\nNewborn male mice are distinguished from newborn females by noting the greater anogenital distance and larger genital papilla in the male. This is best accomplished by lifting the tails of littermates and comparing perineums.\n" " Laboratory mice " "\n\nKnockout mice\n\nMice are common experimental animals in laboratory research of biology and psychology fields primarily because they are mammals, and also because they share a high degree of homology with humans. They are the most commonly used mammalian model organism, more common than rats. The mouse genome has been sequenced, and virtually all mouse genes have human homologs. The mouse has approximately 2.7 billion base pairs and 20 chromosomes.\nThey can also be manipulated in ways that are illegal with humans, although animal rights activists often object. A '''knockout mouse''' is a genetically engineered mouse that has had one or more of its genes made inoperable through a gene knockout.\n\nReasons for common selection of mice are small size, inexpensive, widely varied diet, easily maintained, and can reproduce quickly. Several generations of mice can be observed in a relatively short time. Mice are generally very docile if raised from birth and given sufficient human contact. However, certain strains have been known to be quite temperamental. Mice and rats have the same organs in the same places, with the difference of size.\n" " Subgenera " "Field mouse of the subgenus Mus.\n\nAll members of the ''Mus'' genus are referred to as mice. However, the term ''mouse'' can also be applied to species outside of this genus. ''Mouse'' often refers to any small muroid rodent, while ''rat'' refers to larger muroid rodents. Therefore, these terms are not taxonomically specific. For simplicity, only the rodent subgenera belonging to the ''Mus'' genus are listed here.\n\nGenus '''''Mus''''' \u2013 Typical mice\n* Subgenus ''Coelomys'' (East Asia)\n* Subgenus ''Mus'' (Eurasia to North Africa, except for the house mouse which is worldwide.)\n* Subgenus ''Nannomys'' (Sub-Saharan Africa)\n* Subgenus ''Pyromys'' (East Asia)\n* Subgenus and species ''Mus lepidoides''\n" " As pets " "Pet mice\n\nMany people buy mice as companion pets. They can be playful, loving and can grow used to being handled. Like pet rats, pet mice should not be left unsupervised outside as they have many natural predators, including (but not limited to) birds, snakes, lizards, cats, and dogs. Male mice tend to have a stronger odor than the females. However, mice are careful groomers and as pets they never need bathing. Well looked-after mice can make ideal pets. Some common mouse care products are:\n* Cage \u2013 Usually a hamster or gerbil cage, but a variety of special mouse cages are now available. Most should have a secure door.\n* Food \u2013 Special pelleted and seed-based food is available. Mice can generally eat most rodent food (for rats, mice, hamsters, gerbils, etc.)\n* Bedding \u2013 Usually made of hardwood pulp, such as aspen, sometimes from shredded, uninked paper or recycled virgin wood pulp. Using corn husk bedding is avoided because it promotes ''Aspergillus'' fungus, and can grow mold once it gets wet, which is rough on their feet.\n" " Diet " "In nature, mice are largely herbivores, consuming any kind of fruit or grain from plants. However, mice adapt well to urban areas and are known for eating almost all types of food scraps. In captivity, mice are commonly fed commercial pelleted mouse diet. These diets are nutritionally complete, but they still need a large variety of vegetables. Food intake is approximately per of body weight per day; water intake is approximately per 100 g of body weight per day.\n" " As food " "\"Pinkie\" mice for sale as reptile food\nMice are a staple in the diet of many small carnivores. Humans have eaten mice since prehistoric times and still eat them as a delicacy throughout eastern Zambia and northern Malawi, where they are a seasonal source of protein. Mice are no longer routinely consumed by humans elsewhere.\n\nPrescribed cures in Ancient Egypt included mice as medicine. In Ancient Egypt, when infants were ill, mice were eaten as treatment by their mothers. It was believed that mouse eating by the mother would help heal the baby who was ill.\n\nIn various countries mice are used as food for pets such as snakes, lizards, frogs, tarantulas and birds of prey, and many pet stores carry mice for this purpose.\n\nCommon terms used to refer to different ages/sizes of mice when sold for pet food are \"pinkies\", \"fuzzies\", \"crawlers\", \"hoppers\", and \"adults\". Pinkies are newborn mice that have not yet grown fur; fuzzies have some fur but are not very mobile; hoppers have a full coat of hair and are fully mobile but are smaller than adult mice. Mice without fur are easier for the animal to consume; however, mice with fur may be more convincing as animal feed. These terms are also used to refer to the various growth stages of rats (see Fancy rat).\n" " See also " "* Genetically modified mouse\n* List of fictional mice and rats\n* Mousetrap\n* Musophobia (fear of mice)\n* Mouse brain development timeline\n* Vacanti mouse\n" " References " "\n" " External links " "\n\n* Fancy Mice: extensive information about breeding mice and keeping them as pets\n* High-resolution images of cross sections of mice brains\n* History of the mouse (with focus on their use in genetics studies)\n* Mouse tracks: How to identify mouse tracks\n\n\n\n\n\n"

Depeche Mode's singles, starting with \"Leave in Silence\", were issued with a '''Bong''' catalogue number.\n" " Singles " "\n===Mute 1 - 100===\n\n* Mute 1 - \"T.V.O.D./Warm Leatherette\", The Normal (November 1978) 7\", CD\n* Mute 2 - \"Back to Nature\", Fad Gadget (October 1979) 7\"\n* Mute 3 - \"Memphis Tennessee\", Silicon Teens (August 1979) 7\"\n* Mute 4 - \"Judy in Disguise\", Silicon Teens (January 1980) 7\"\n* Mute 5 - \"Kebabtr\u00e4ume\", Deutsch-Amerikanische Freundschaft (March 1980) 7\"\n* Mute 6 - \"Ricky's Hand\", Fad Gadget (March 1980) 7\"\n* Mute 7 - \"Soundtracks 1-5/Can't Look Straight/Flashcards\", Non/Smegma (1980) 7\"\n* Mute 8 - \"Just Like Eddie/Sun Flight\", Silicon Teens (July 1980) 7\"\n* Mute 9 - \"Insecticide/Fireside Favourite\", Fad Gadget (September 1980) 7\"\n* Mute 10 - \"Double Heart/On Location\", Robert Rental (1980) 7\"\n* Mute 11 - \"Tanz mit mir/Der R\u00e4uber und der Prinz\", Deutsch-Amerikanische Freundschaft (October 1980) 7\"\n* Mute 12 - \"Make Room/Lady Shave\", Fad Gadget (March 1981) 7\"\n* Mute 13 - \"Dreaming of Me\", Depeche Mode (February 1981) 7\", CD\n* Mute 14 - \"New Life\", Depeche Mode (June 1981) 7\", 12\", CD\n* Mute 15 - \"Rise\", NON (1982) 12\"\n* Mute 16 - \"Just Can't Get Enough\", Depeche Mode (September 1981) 7\", 12\", CD\n* Mute 17 - \"Saturday Night Special\", Fad Gadget (January 1982) 7\"\n* Mute 18 - \"See You\", Depeche Mode (January 1982) 7\", 12\", CD\n* Mute 19 - \"Fred vom Jupiter\", Die Doraus und die Marinas (1982) 7\"\n* Mute 20 - \"Only You\", Yazoo (1982) 7\", 12\", CD\n* Mute 21 - \"King of the Flies\", Fad Gadget (April 1982) 7\"\n* Mute 22 - \"The Meaning of Love\", Depeche Mode (April 1982) 7\", 12\", CD\n* Mute 23 - \"Los Ninos Del Parque\", Liaisons Dangereuses (1982) 7\"\n* Mute 24 - \"Life on the Line\", Fad Gadget (September 1982) 7\", 12\"\n* Mute 25 - \"Or so it Seems\", Duet Emmo (1983) 12\"\n* Mute 26 - \"For Whom the Bell Tolls\", Fad Gadget (January 1983) 7\", 12\"\n* Mute 27 - \"Mit Dir\", Robert G\u00f6rl (1983)\n* Mute 28 - \"I Discover Love\", Fad Gadget (October 1983) 7\", 12\"\n* Mute 29 - \"Mutiny!

"Nip" "Introduction" "\nUsage of the term ''Nips'' in the American cartoon ''Bugs Bunny Nips the Nips'' (1944)\n'''Nip''' is an ethnic slur against people of Japanese descent and origin, similar to the ethnic slur ''Jap''.\n" "Etymology" "The word ''Nip'' is an abbreviation from ''Nippon'', the Japanese name for Japan.\n" "History" "The earliest occurrence of the ethnic slur was probably in the ''Time'' magazine of 5 January 1942. The American, British, and Australian entry of the Pacific Ocean theatre of World War II heightened the use of racial slurs against the Japanese, such as ''Jap'' and ''Nip''. The word ''Nip'' became a frequently-used slang word amongst the British Armed Forces. The 1942 Royal Air Force journal made numerous references to the Japanese as ''Nips'', even making puns such as \"there's a nip in the air\". As part of American wartime propaganda, caricatures and slurs (including ''Nip'') against the Japanese diffused into entertainment, such as exemplified by the Warner Bros.' cartoon ''Bugs Bunny Nips the Nips'' (1944). In ''General Kenney Reports: A Personal History of the Pacific War'' (1949), George Kenney made racial statements about the Japanese, remarking for example that \"Nips are just vermin to be exterminated\".\n" "References" "\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n"
"Norman Krasna" "Introduction" "\n'''Norman Krasna''' (November 7, 1909 \u2013 November 1, 1984) was an American screenwriter, playwright, producer, and film director. He is best known for penning screwball comedies which centered on a case of mistaken identity. Krasna also directed three films during a forty-year career in Hollywood. He garnered four Academy Award screenwriting nominations, winning once for 1943's ''Princess O'Rourke'', a film he also directed.\n" "Career" "Krasna was born in Queens, New York City. He attended Columbia University and St John's University School of Law, working at Macy's Department Store during the day. He wanted to get into journalism and talked his way into a job as a copy boy for the Sunday feature department of the ''New York World'' in 1928. He quit law school, worked his way up to being a drama critic, at first for ''The World'' then the ''New York Evening Graphic'' and ''Exhibitors Herald World''. He was offered a job with Hubert Voight in the publicity department of Warner Bros and moved to Hollywood.\n\nHe decided to become a playwright after seeing ''The Front Page''. To learn the craft, he retyped the Ben Hecht-Charles MacArthur classic more than twenty times. Then while at Warners, at nights he wrote a play, ''Louder, Please!'', based on his job and heavily inspired by ''The Front Page''. He tried to sell it to Warners who were not interested but it was picked up by George Abbott who produced it on Broadway. The play had a short run, and Krasna was then offered a contract at Columbia Pictures as a junior staff writer.\n\nHe stayed at Columbia for five years, earning an Oscar nomination for ''The Richest Girl in the World''. He also wrote a second play, ''Small Miracle'', which was very successful and established him as a playwright. He would continue to alternate between Broadway and Hollywood throughout his career.\n\nBy the mid-1930s he was working at other studios, such as Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer and Universal, and had turned producer. By the 1940s he also began to direct. During this decade he wrote two very popular plays, ''Dear Ruth'' and ''John Loves Mary''.\n\nIn 1950 he and Jerry Wald formed Wald-Krasna Productions which worked out of RKO Studios for the next few years, announcing a $50 million slate of pictures. They made a number of films but both Wald and Krasna became frustrated at the meddling of Howard Hughes, who ran RKO at the time. Wald bought Krasna out and he returned to writing.\n\nAt one point, Krasna had actor John Forsythe under contract.\n\nKrasna spent many years living in Switzerland but returned to Los Angeles before his death in 1984.\n" "Personal life" "From 1940 to 1950 Krasna was married to Ruth Frazee, with whom he had two children. He married Al Jolson's widow Erle in 1951, moving into the Palm Springs, California, home of Erle and Jolson. They remained married until Krasna's death in 1984. He had six children.\n" "Selected filmography" "\n\n\n* ''Hollywood Speaks'' (1932) \u2013 story, co-dialogue\n* ''That's My Boy'' (1932) \u2013 script\n* ''So This Is Africa'' (1933) \u2013 story\n* ''Parole Girl'' (1933) \u2013 uncredited contribution to script\n* ''Love, Honor, and Oh Baby!''

"Oxegen 2005" "Introduction" "\n\n'''Oxegen 2005''' was the '''second Oxegen festival''' to take place, following the dissolution of its predecessor Witnness in 2004. It took place on the weekend of Saturday 9 and Sunday 10 July at Punchestown Racecourse near Naas in County Kildare, Ireland.\n\n70,000 attended the festival, with 60,000 camping for the weekend. The headliners were Foo Fighters on the Sunday and Green Day on the Saturday.\n" " Tickets " "A limited number of tickets went on sale in December 2004 at a discount price and quickly sold out, the main bulk of tickets went on sale on Friday 18 February, costing \u20ac150 for the weekend with a camping pass, \u20ac125 for the weekend without a camping pass and \u20ac67 for a day pass for either day. The tickets sold out in record time on 3 June, six weeks prior to the event. Promoter Denis Desmond was chuffed:\n\"For Oxegen to sell out so far in advance in its short history is an incredible achievement. It goes to show that the event has already established itself as one of the most important events in the Irish music calendar.\" \n" " Festival " "\n=== Performances ===\nThere were five stages on which over eighty acts performed during the course of the two-day event. Sunday night headliners Foo Fighters, as well as Ian Brown, The Prodigy, The Frames, Keane, and The Killers were some of the first acts to be announced for the festival. Also playing were Saturday night headliners Green Day, New Order, James Brown, Queens of the Stone Age, Feeder, Kasabian, Nine Black Alps, The Departure, Razorlight, LCD Soundsystem, Echo & the Bunnymen, The La's, The Revs, Snoop Dogg and The Futureheads are some of the acts that performed at the festival.\n\nKaiser Chiefs made their Oxegen debut on the Main Stage.\n\nKaiser Chiefs made their Oxegen debut as the third act on the Main Stage on the Saturday, a feat they would surpass on the Sunday of the following year when they were third headliners. They later went on to become second headliners on the Sunday of the 2008 festival. Other bands to make their Oxegen debut included Bloc Party, The Bravery and Rodrigo y Gabriela. Bloc Party frontman Kele Okereke received a cold reception from the crowd after saying that it was great to be \"back in the UK\" before trying to back out of it by saying that he meant \"familiar territory\".\n\nAudioslave played on the Main Stage on the Sunday of Oxegen 2005, their only Irish festival performance before their split in 2007. They performed much of their own material and also previous songs by Soundgarden (\"Spoonman\" and \"Black Hole Sun\") and Rage Against the Machine (\"Killing in the Name\"). The band minus Chris Cornell went on to headline Oxegen 2008 with Zack de la Rocha as the reformed Rage Against the Machine, with \"Killing in the Name\" performed in its original style.\n\nThe scheduled appearance of Bright Eyes in the Green Room on the Saturday was cancelled at the last minute; they were replaced on the bill by Irish band 66e who were asked to step in on that same afternoon. Bright Eyes did however later go on to make an appearance on the Pet Sounds Stage on the Sunday of the 2007 festival. Ian Brown headlined the Green Room on the Saturday of Oxegen 2005 before going on to repeat this on the Sunday of Oxegen 2008. Flogging Molly performed in the Green Room on the Saturday of Oxegen 2005 before oddly going on to perform on the New Band Stage on the Sunday of Oxegen 2008.\n\nThe Magic Numbers, Future Kings of Spain, The Go! Team, Humanzi, Director and The Blizzards were amongst the bands that performed on the New Band Stage. Editors too performed on the New Band Stage, making the first of what, as of 2008, was four consecutive appearances on four different stages at Oxegen. They performed on the NME Stage in 2006, the Green Room in 2007 and the Main Stage in 2008.\n\n=== Transport ===\nDublin Bus operated a shuttle service to Punchestown from Parnell Square West with buses departing every 20 minutes.\n\n=== Health ===\nThe Order of Malta had 70 personnel and ambulance crews on site to deal with any problems in the arena over the weekend, while Civil Defence provided over 120 personnel and emergency vehicles for the campsite. However, the hot weather on Sunday did result in a dose of severe sunstroke for some revellers.\n\n=== Crime ===\nDozens of garda\u00ed, drug enforcement officers, sniffer dogs and security officers policed the grounds.\nThere was no serious trouble with less than 100 arrests for drug offences, generally for possession of cannabis.\n" " Awards " "Oxegen was voted fifth best British or Irish music festival of 2005 in an NME poll of 10,000 people. It was placed below Glastonbury, Reading, Live 8 and V Festival. Oxegen headliners Foo Fighters were also voted best band in the same poll.\n" " Broadcasting rights " "MTV broadcast the festival across Europe.\n" " 2005 Line-up " "''The main acts that played the festival:'' \n\n\n \n\n'''Saturday 9 July'''\n\n''Oxegen Stage''\n\n* Bj\u00f6rn Again\n* '''Green Day'''\n* The Frames\n* Queens of the Stone Age\n* Snoop Dogg\n* Razorlight\n* Kaiser Chiefs\n* The Saw Doctors\n* The Stands\n\n''Ticket Stage''\n\n* '''The Prodigy'''\n* Kasabian\n* Bloc Party\n* The Bravery\n* Echo & the Bunnymen\n* Kerbdog\n* Eagles of Death Metal\n* Nine Black Alps\n* The Departure\n* Angels of Mons\n* The Marshall Stars\n\n''Green Room''\n\n* '''Ian Brown'''\n* Interpol\n* Athlete\n* Bright Eyes*\n* 66e\n* KT Tunstall\n* HAL\n* Stephen Fretwell\n* Biffy Clyro\n* Flogging Molly\n* Countermine\n\n''New Band Stage''\n* '''The Tears'''\n* The Go!

"Palomino rabbit" "Introduction" "right\nThe '''Palomino rabbit''' is a breed of rabbit, normally 8-12 pounds in weight, which is generally colored gold or lynx. It was first bred in Washington State, United States, by Mark Youngs, who wanted to make a breed of rabbit. As with the palomino horse, the rabbit gets its name from its color.\n" " Creation " "The Palomino rabbit was created by Mark Youngs, in Washington State, United States. They were first presented in 1952 at the American Rabbit Breeders Association's national convention. The name \"Palomino\" was adopted in 1953 and, in the 1960s, Palominos became more common.\n" " See also " "\n*List of rabbit breeds\n*Palomino\n" "References" "\n" "External links" "* Rabbit Breeds Chart\n* Palomino Rabbit Co-Breeders Association\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n"
"Peter Cottontail" "Introduction" "\n\n\n'''Peter Cottontail''' is a name temporarily assumed by a fictional rabbit named Peter Rabbit in the works of Thornton Burgess, an author from Springfield, Massachusetts. In 1910, when Burgess began his ''Old Mother West Wind'' series, the cast of animals included Peter Rabbit. Four years later, in ''The Adventures of Peter Cottontail'', Peter Rabbit, unhappy at his plain-sounding name, briefly changed his name to Peter Cottontail because he felt it made him sound more important. He began putting on airs to live up to his important-sounding name, but after much teasing from his friends, soon returned to his original name, because, as he put it, \"There's nothing like the old name after all.\" In the 26-chapter book, he takes on the new name partway through chapter 2, and returns to his \"real\" name, Peter Rabbit, at the end of chapter 3. Burgess continued to write about Peter Rabbit until his retirement in 1960, in over 15,000 daily syndicated newspaper stories, many of them featuring Peter Rabbit, and some of them later published as books, but \"Peter Cottontail\" is never mentioned again.\n\nWhen Thornton Burgess began making up bedtime stories with named animals for his 4 year old son, the boy was already familiar with Beatrix Potter's Peter Rabbit character, and would not allow his father to give his stories' rabbit character any other name. Later when the boy stayed with grandparents for a month while widower Burgess (his wife had died in childbirth) worked, he wrote stories down and mailed them to be read to the boy. Later still, the magazine where Burgess worked published a few of those stories. Then a representative of publisher Little, Brown came by asking the magazine editor about children's stories, and the editor pointed him to Burgess. Little, Brown then published some of Burgess' stories as the book ''Old Mother West Wind''. The name of Burgess' rabbit character was never changed along the way.\n\nThe laws governing usage of published character names were less strict back then than they are today. Burgess was not the only author to reuse the name Peter Rabbit, though with the huge popularity of ''Old Mother West Wind'', he became the most known. A fuller treatment on this topic can be found in ''Nature's Ambassador: The Legacy of Thornton W. Burgess'' by Christie Palmer Lowrance. \n\nHarrison Cady, who illustrated Burgess' books, wrote and drew the syndicated ''Peter Rabbit'' comic strip from 1920 to 1948.\n\nThe 1971 Easter television special ''Here Comes Peter Cottontail'' was based on a 1957 novel by Priscilla and Otto Friedrich entitled ''The Easter Bunny That Overslept''. In 1950, Gene Autry recorded the holiday song, \"Here Comes Peter Cottontail\"\nwhich became popular on the Country and Pop charts and informally gave the Easter Bunny a name.\n" " References " " \n" "External links" "* Thornton Burgess' ''Peter Cottontail'', abridged Dover edition (1996), illustrated by Pat Stewart\n\n\n\n\n\n"
"Philippine Rabbit" "Introduction" "\n\n\n'''Philippine Rabbit Bus Lines, Inc.''' ('''PRBL''') is a provincial bus company in the Philippines. It was founded in 1946.\n\nThe company's area of coverage extends from Metro Manila to Baguio and northern provinces of Pampanga, Tarlac, Pangasinan. Its main terminal in Metro Manila is along Avenida Rizal in Sta. Cruz, Manila.\n\nPhilippine Rabbit at Tarlac Terminal\n" "Etymology" "\nMr. Ricardo L. Paras, the company's general manager, explains that the Company was named ''Philippine Rabbit'' in reference to the actual animal because of its speed and agility, not to mention how fast they pro-create. Secondly, the first acquisition of buses by the company then showed that the main body feature of the bus was shaped like the Rabbit. The Company was known then as ''PHILIPPINE RABBIT BUS COMPANY'' in 1948 until it was incorporated in August 1958 as the ''PHILIPPINE RABBIT BUS LINES, INCORPORATED'' or simply PRBL.\n" "History" "\nPhilippine Rabbit was founded on August 28, 1946 with a trip to Divisoria, Manila with a stopover in San Fernando, Pampanga. It was then named Philippine Rabbit Bus Company. In 1952, they acquired front-engined International Harvester buses which operated from Manila to Moncada, Camiling, Victoria, La Paz, Concepcion and Tarlac City. The company was incorporated on August 28, 1957 with the business name Philippine Rabbit Bus Lines, Incorporated.\n\nPhilippine Rabbit was continuously expanding in growth and operation in the 1960s. It has acquired interest in distributing Mitsubishi brand of motor vehicle engines and spare parts in the country. On March 25, 1963, the PRBL incorporators organized the Bupar Motors Corporation as the exclusive distributor of Mitsubishi Fuso engines and spare parts in the country. The Corporation also included a bus body building plant and a tire recapping facility.\n\nPhilippine Rabbit was the first to introduce First Class bus accommodations in Western Luzon with the two-seater MAN White Rabbits, and the more innovative Philippine Rabbit Mini-Bus for short distance or local passengers. These PRBL Mini-buses were called the PRBL Mosquito Fleet.\n\nIn 1977 PRBL opened its Rabbitours Division in its Caloocan Terminal on 2nd Avenue to handle chartered trips for domestic tours. With the tax incentives the government gives to Tourism oriented companies, PRBL started acquiring air-conditioned buses. In the start of the 1980s, the Company started modernizing its bus fleet with air-conditioned buses servicing the routes to Baguio City, Balanga, Bataan, Laoag, Ilocos Norte, and Tarlac.\n\nIn January 1992, PRBL started its bus fleet rehabilitation. They announced the acquisition of 150 brand new air conditioned buses for its 3-year modernization program to meet the demands for safe and convenient travel on air conditioned buses. Twenty Mitsubishi De Luxe (2001 series) were commissioned in 1992; another thirty Nissan Diesel (Aero Bus Series) in 1993; Fifty Nissan Diesel (Flexi Series) in 1994, and another fifty Nissan Diesel (Euro Bus Series 3015) in 1995.\n\n===Labor dispute and losses===\n\nOn April 5, 2004, the company's employees went on strike and demanded for the prompt payment of salaries and benefits, their 13th Month Pay, Retirement benefits, and service incentive pays, including the immediate updating of employees' SSS premium contributions and collected SSS Salary loan deductions. On April 7, 2004, DOLE Secretary Patricia Sto. Tomas issued a Return-to-Work Order with PRBL Management promising to settle its obligations to the employees. The Company defaulted.\n\nIn order to regain losses after the strike, the company had to sell many of its assets, including bus units, franchises, and real properties. Its area of coverage was narrowed, since the company had to give up in favor of other players some of its routes.\n\n===Today===\n\nThe company resumed full operations in 2005 fielding its legacy platforms, the NDPC Euro and the newly refurbished 8500s DMMC units, together with a handful of surviving ordinary units. However its trips were limited as manifested by the closure and the sale of its Balintawak terminal which catered to most of its trips to Northern Luzon leaving only its Avenida Rizal terminal as its only terminal in Metro Manila.\n\nIt is also during this period that the management tried to supplant its aging fleet by acquiring surplus Korean buses.\n\nThe company faced another challenge when the Land Transportation Franchising and Regulatory Board in 2014, mandated that all PUBs that are 15 years of age shall be phased out imposing heavy penalties for violations. This decision severely affected PRBL's operations since the bulk of its fleet were acquired from 1994-1998. This forced the management to phased out its old units and stop its trips to Baguio, Abra, and Alaminos. Trips to Alaminos andCamiling is later resumed in 2015.\n\nBrand new units started to arrive in 2014 with the arrival of 5 new bus units and followed by several others. Re-fleeting is still on-going and is expected to continue.\n\n\nOn October 21, 2016 Philippine Rabbit acquired 4 new Daewoo BV115 buses from Santarosa Motors and is planning to use it to return to its Avenida - Baguio route.\n\nAnother batch of HIGER BUS (fleet numbers;1109-1133) composed of twelve (12) were delivered at PRBL early in December 2016. These buses bore superficial resemblance to the 2nd batch of Higer (V91 series) but are powered by more powerful engines (YCGL310-30). They are intended to ply Manila-Baguio route alongside the Daewoo BV115 they acquired earlier.\n" "Fleet" "\nPhilippine Rabbit Bus Lines, Inc. currently maintains a fleet of Daewoo, Hyundai, Kia, Sunlong and Higer buses.\n" "Destinations" "\n*'''Metro Manila'''\n**Avenida, Manila\n*'''Provincial Destinations'''\n**Baguio City, Benguet\n**Angeles, Pampanga \n**City of San Fernando, Pampanga\n**Mabalacat, Pampanga (Dau Bus Terminal)\n**Alaminos City, Pangasinan \n**Camiling, Tarlac \n**Tarlac City, Tarlac\n" "Former destinations" "*Baguio City, Benguet\n*Balanga, Bataan\n*Mariveles, Bataan\n*Santa Cruz, Zambales (via Alaminos, Pangasinan)\n*Bolinao, Pangasinan\n*Dagupan City, Pangasinan\n*Laoag, Ilocos Norte \n*Vigan, Ilocos Sur\n*Aparri, Cagayan\n\n"
"Pig" "Introduction" "\n\n\n\nA '''pig''' is any of the animals in the genus '''''Sus''''', within the Suidae family of even-toed ungulates. Pigs include the domestic pig and its ancestor, the common Eurasian wild boar (''Sus scrofa''), along with other species; related creatures outside the genus include the peccary, the babirusa, and the warthog. Pigs, like all suids, are native to the Eurasian and African continents. Juvenile pigs are known as piglets. Pigs are highly social and intelligent animals.\n\nWith around 1 billion individuals alive at any time, the domesticated pig is one of the most numerous large mammals on the planet. Pigs are omnivores and can consume a wide range of food, similar to humans. Pigs can harbour a range of parasites and diseases that can be transmitted to humans. Because of the similarities between pigs and humans, pigs are used for human medical research.\n" " Etymology " "\nThe ''Online Etymology Dictionary'' provides anecdotal evidence as well as linguistic, saying that the term derives\n\nprobably from Old English *''picg'', found in compounds, ultimate origin unknown. Originally \"young pig\" (the word for adults was ''swine''). Apparently related to Low German ''bigge'', Dutch ''big'' (\"but the phonology is difficult\" -- ''OED''). ... Another Old English word for \"pig\" was ''fearh'', related to ''furh'' \"furrow,\" from PIE *''perk''- \"dig, furrow\" (source also of Latin ''porc-us'' \"pig,\" see ''pork''). \"This reflects a widespread IE tendency to name animals from typical attributes or activities\" Roger Lass. Synonyms ''grunter'', ''porker'' are from sailors' and fishermen's euphemistic avoidance of uttering the word pig at sea, a superstition perhaps based on the fate of the Gadarene swine, who drowned.\n\nThe ''Online Etymology Dictionary'' also traces the evolution of '''''sow''''', the term for a female pig, through various historical languages:\n\nOld English ''sugu'', ''su'' \"female of the swine,\" from Proto-Germanic *''su''- (cognates: Old Saxon, Old High German ''su'', German ''Sau'', Dutch ''zeug'', Old Norse ''syr''), from PIE root *''su''- (cognates: Sanskrit ''sukarah'' \"wild boar, swine;\" Avestan ''hu'' \"wild boar;\" Greek ''hys'' \"swine;\" Latin ''sus'' \"swine\", ''suinus'' \"pertaining to swine\"; Old Church Slavonic ''svinija'' \"swine;\" Lettish ''sivens'' \"young pig;\" Welsh ''hucc'', Irish ''suig'' \"swine; Old Irish ''socc'' \"snout, plowshare\"), possibly imitative of pig noise; note that Sanskrit ''sukharah'' means \"maker of (the sound) ''su''.\n\nIt is entirely likely that the word to call pigs, \"soo-ie,\" is similarly derived.\n" "Description and behaviour" "Skull of domestic pig. (Sus scrofa domesticus).\nA typical pig has a large head with a long snout which is strengthened by a special prenasal bone and by a disk of cartilage at the tip. The snout is used to dig into the soil to find food and is a very acute sense organ. There are four hoofed toes on each trotter (foot), with the two larger central toes bearing most of the weight, but the outer two also being used in soft ground.\n\nThe dental formula of adult pigs is , giving a total of 44 teeth. The rear teeth are adapted for crushing. In the male, the canine teeth form tusks, which grow continuously and are sharpened by constantly being ground against each other.\n\nOccasionally, captive mother pigs may savage their own piglets, often if they become severely stressed. Some attacks on newborn piglets are non-fatal. Others may cause the death of the piglets and sometimes, the mother may eat the piglets. It is estimated that 50% of piglet fatalities are due to the mother attacking, or unintentionally crushing, the newborn pre-weaned animals.\n\nScientists have recently discovered that pigs can exhibit a cognitive bias and are optimists or pessimests, similar to humans. In a study by the University of Lincoln, 36 pigs were tested. They were placed in a room with two food bowls at each end of the room. One food bowl contained sugar-coated chocolate sweets and the other contained coffee beans. Optimistic pigs were likely to check if there was a third bowl filled with sweets. However pessimistic pigs would not even bother checking if the bowl was filled with sweets or not. It was said that \"Pro-active pigs were willing to see whether there was a positive outcome in the mystery bowl\". The study shows that non-human animals can share similar traits with humans.\n" "Distribution and evolution" "Domesticated pigPig in a bucket\nWith around 1 billion individuals alive at any time, the domesticated pig is one of the most numerous large mammals on the planet.\n\nThe ancestor of the domesticated pig is the wild boar, which is one of the most numerous and widespread large mammals. Its many subspecies are native to all but the harshest climates of continental Eurasia and its islands and Africa as well, from Ireland and India to Japan and north to Siberia.\n\nLong isolated from other pigs on the many islands of Indonesia, Malaysia, and the Philippines, pigs have evolved into many different species, including wild boar, bearded pigs, and warty pigs. Humans have introduced pigs into Australia, North and South America, and numerous islands, either accidentally as escaped domestic pigs which have gone feral, or as wild boar.\n" "Habitat and reproduction" "The wild pig (''Sus scrofa'') can take advantage of any forage resources. Therefore, it can live in virtually any productive habitat that can provide enough water to sustain large mammals such as pigs. If there is increased foraging of wild pigs in certain areas, it can cause a nutritional shortage which can cause the pig population to decrease. If the nutritional state returns to normal, the pig population will most likely rise due to the pigs' naturally increased reproduction rate.\n" "Diet and foraging" "Pigs are omnivores, which means that they consume both plants and animals. In the wild, they are foraging animals, primarily eating leaves, grasses, roots, fruits, and flowers. In confinement, pigs are fed mostly corn and soybean meal with a mixture of vitamins and minerals added to the diet. Traditionally they were raised on dairy farms and called \"mortgage lifters\" due to their ability to use the excess milk as well as whey from cheese and butter making combined with pasture. Older pigs will consume three to five gallons of water per day.\n" "Relationship with humans" "A pig trained to find truffles.\nDomesticated pigs, called swine, are raised commercially for meat (generally called pork, hams, gammon or bacon), as well as for leather. Their bristly hairs are also used for brushes. Due to their common use as livestock, adult swine have gender specific names: the males are ''boars'' and the females are ''sows''. In Britain, the word ''hog'' can refer to a castrated adult male pig. Young swine are called ''piglets'' or ''pigs''. Pork is one of the most popular forms of meat for human consumption, accounting for 38% of worldwide meat production.\n\nPigs that are allowed to forage may be watched by swineherds. Because of their foraging abilities and excellent sense of smell, they are used to find truffles in many European countries.\n\nBoth wild and feral pigs are commonly hunted. Some breeds of pig, such as the Asian pot-bellied pig, are kept as pets. There are two instances in the 2000s where farm hogs ate human beings.

In May 1946, in response to a shortage of pig bristles for paintbrushes to paint houses in the post-World War II construction boom, the Royal Australian Air Force (RAAF) flew in 28 short tons of pig bristles from China, their only commercially available source at the time.\n" "Species" "\nBearded pigs (''Sus barbatus'')\nSkeleton of foot.\nThe genus ''Sus'' is currently thought to contain ten living species.

Early 20th century\nGreen glazed toilet with pigsty model. China, Eastern Han dynasty 25\u2013220 CE\n\n\nPigs have been domesticated since ancient times in the Old World. Archaeological evidence suggests that pigs were being managed in the wild in a way similar to the way they are managed by some modern New Guineans from wild boar as early as 13,000\u201312,700 BP in the Near East in the Tigris Basin. Remains of pigs have been dated to earlier than 11,400 BP in Cyprus that must have been introduced from the mainland which suggests domestication in the adjacent mainland by then. A separate domestication also occurred in China.\n\nIn India, pigs have been domesticated for a long time mostly in Goa and some rural areas for pig toilets. This was also done in China. Though ecologically logical as well as economical, pig toilets are waning in popularity as use of septic tanks and/or sewerage systems is increasing in rural areas.\n\nPigs were brought to southeastern North America from Europe by Hernando de Soto and other early Spanish explorers. Pigs are particularly valued in China and on certain oceanic islands, where their self-sufficiency allows them to be turned loose, although the practice is not without its drawbacks (see environmental impact).\n\nThe domestic pig (''Sus scrofa domesticus'') is usually given the scientific name ''Sus scrofa'', although some authors call it ''S. domesticus'', reserving ''S. scrofa'' for the wild boar. It was domesticated approximately 5,000 to 7,000 years ago. Their coats are coarse and bristly. They are born brownish coloured and tend to turn more grayish coloured with age. The upper canines form sharp distinctive tusks that curve outward and upward. Compared to other artiodactyles, their head is relatively long, pointed, and free of warts. Their head and body length ranges from and they can weigh between .\n\nIn August 2015, a study looked at over 100 pig genome sequences to ascertain their process of domestication. The process of domestication was assumed to have been initiated by humans, involved few individuals and relied on reproductive isolation between wild and domestic forms. The study found that the assumption of reproductive isolation with population bottlenecks was not supported. The study indicated that pigs were domesticated separately in Western Asia and China, with Western Asian pigs introduced into Europe where they crossed with wild boar. A model that fitted the data included admixture with a now extinct ghost population of wild pigs during the Pleistocene. The study also found that despite back-crossing with wild pigs, the genomes of domestic pigs have strong signatures of selection at DNA loci that affect behavior and morphology. The study concluded that human selection for domestic traits likely counteracted the homogenizing effect of gene flow from wild boars and created domestication islands in the genome. The same process may also apply to other domesticated animals.\n\n\nPigs are intelligent and can be trained to perform numerous tasks and tricks. Recently, they have enjoyed a measure of popularity as house pets, particularly the dwarf breeds.\n" "Cultural and religious reference to pigs" "\nPigs appear in the traditional and popular arts, media, and cultures of many societies, where they sometimes carry religious symbolism. In Asia the wild boar is one of 12 animal images comprising the Chinese zodiac, while in Europe the boar represents a standard charge in heraldry. In Islam and Judaism pigs and those who handle them are viewed negatively, and the consumption of pork is forbidden. Pigs are frequently alluded to in folk art, idioms, metaphors, and proverbs, and also occasionally in parables (e.g. Parable of the Prodigal Son). \"the three little pigs\" is a folk-tale and \"Peppa Pig\" is a popular British television show.\n" "Environmental impacts" "Domestic pigs that have escaped from farms or were allowed to forage in the wild, and in some cases wild boars which were introduced as prey for hunting, have given rise to large populations of feral pigs in North and South America, Australia, New Zealand, Hawaii, and other areas where pigs are not native. Accidental or deliberate releases of pigs into countries or environments where they are an alien species have caused extensive environmental change. Their omnivorous diet, aggressive behaviour, and their feeding method of rooting in the ground all combine to severely alter ecosystems unused to pigs. Pigs will even eat small animals and destroy nests of ground nesting birds. The Invasive Species Specialist Group lists feral pigs on the list of the world's 100 worst invasive species and says:\nFeral pigs (razorbacks) in Florida\n\n" "Health issues" "Pigs can harbour a range of parasites and diseases that can be transmitted to humans. These include trichinosis, ''Taenia solium'', cysticercosis, and brucellosis. Pigs are also known to host large concentrations of parasitic ascarid worms in their digestive tract. According to the USDA fact sheet modern pork can be enjoyed cooked rare at 145\u00a0\u00b0F (63\u00a0\u00b0C) with pink in the middle. Today trichinellosis infections from eating undercooked pork are rare in more technologically developed countries due to refrigeration, health laws, and public awareness. Some religious groups have dietary laws that make pork an \"unclean\" meat, and adherents sometimes interpret these health issues as validation of their views.\n\nPigs have health issues of their own. Pigs have small lungs in relation to their body size and are thus more susceptible than other domesticated animals to fatal bronchitis and pneumonia. Some strains of influenza are endemic in pigs (see swine influenza). Pigs also can acquire human influenza.\n\nPigs can be aggressive in defending themselves and their young. Pig-induced injuries are thus not unusual in areas where pigs are raised or where they form part of the wild or feral fauna.\n\nIn November 2012 scientists managed to sequence the genome of the domestic pig. The similarities between the pig and human genomes mean that the new data may have wide applications in the study and treatment of human genetic diseases.\n" "See also" "\n\n*Wild boar\n*Domestic pig \n*Peccary (domestication) \n*Truffle hog\n*Pot-bellied pig\n*Babirusa\n*Red river hog\n*Bushpig\n*Fetal pig\n*Hog-baiting\n*List of fictional pigs\n*List of pigs\n*Pig Olympics\n*Enviropig\n*Pig Beach\n\n\n" "References" "\n" "External links" "\n* Pig genome resources\n* Swine breeds, with pictures\n\n\n\n\n\n"
"Pirates World" "Introduction" "\n'''Pirates World''' was a pirate-themed amusement park in Dania, Florida that opened April 8, 1967. Developed by Recreation Corporation of America, it was located on the north side of Stirling Road, east of I-95.\n" "Attractions" "The park featured \"The Crows Nest\" observation tower, which had originally \"been the Belgian Aerial Tower at the 1964/1965 New York World's Fair\". This structure \"was bought second hand after the fair\" and transported to the site, where it was re-erected. It consisted of a central post from which was suspended four metal cages by cables, designed \"to carry several standing passengers.\" \"To balance the structure, two cages would be in the air while two were being loaded on the ground,\" and the cages would be raised and lowered simultaneously.\n\nAnother feature was the pirate ship ride - an actual life-sized pirate ship. The ship, piloted by park personnel, cruised along a \"river\" through a barrage of cannon fire and \"enemy\" pirates shooting at the ship, while the pirates that were aboard the ship were firing back at them, protecting their passengers from harm.\n\nAlso at Pirates World was the \"Grand National Steeplechase,\" which was originally from Coney Island, along with a Wild Mouse roller coaster, a log flume (also bought second-hand from the New York World Fair), \"various carnival flat rides including a paratrooper, a sky ride, some carny games, a skee-ball arcade, (and) spiral slides.\"\n" "Rock music concerts" "In the late-1960s and early-1970s, Pirates World was the venue for several rock music concerts, playing host to such artists as Jeff Beck Group (1969), Led Zeppelin (1969), Iron Butterfly (1970), The Faces (1970, 1971), The Grateful Dead (1970), Traffic (1970), Black Sabbath (1971), Blood, Sweat, and Tears (1971), Deep Purple (1971), Jethro Tull (1971), Grand Funk Railroad (1971), Steve Miller Band (1971), The Guess Who (1971), The Moody Blues (1971), Three Dog Night (1971), David Bowie (1972), The Doors (1972), Wishbone Ash (1973), Santana (1973), Alice Cooper (1973), and The Beach Boys (1973). The Johnny Winter album ''Live Johnny Winter And'' (1971) was a live album partly recorded at Pirates World in fall 1970. It was not uncommon for crowd control problems to break out at some of these concerts. In March 1971, police clashed with concert goers at a Grand Funk Railroad concert. Eleven people were arrested and two policemen were injured.\n" "Films" "Over the years, several film and television programs were also filmed on the site, including ''Jack and the Beanstalk'' (1970), ''Thumbelina'' (1970), ''Musical Mutiny'' (1970) and ''Santa and the Ice Cream Bunny'' (1972).\n" "History" "Pirates World was successful in its early years, but in 1971 Walt Disney World opened in Florida, which took much business away from the theme park. By 1973 it was in bankruptcy and finally closed its doors in 1975. Norman Kaufman, a venturing carnival rides owner back in Coney Island, bought some of the steeplechase's fiberglass horses and eventually gave one of them to the \"Coney Island, USA\" museum more than 20 years later. The fate of the others is unknown.\n\nIn 1978, a biblical theme park was to have been developed on the site, but that fell through. The land was sold, zoned residential and condominiums were built over the last traces of the park.\n\nThere were amusement park games owned and run by Cindy and Joe Dickman along with the petting zoo and seal pond. Members of the Miami Dolphins played the Football Toss. There was also a shooting gallery. The games at Pirates World were a Hi-Striker, Tip the Cats, Tic Tac Toe, ring toss, Football Toss, Can Can and a Watergun game. The petting zoo had an elephant (in 1972 there were deer instead as the elephant had grown too large for the enclosure) and a seal pond where one could feed fish to the seals.\n" "References" "\n" "External links" "* Reunion site, with memories and pictures\n* Grateful Dead Recording 1 on archive.org\n* Grateful Dead Recording 2 on archive.org\n* \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n"
"Plan 9 from Bell Labs" "Introduction" "\n\n'''Plan 9 from Bell Labs''' is a distributed operating system, originally developed by the Computing Sciences Research Center at Bell Labs between the mid-1980s and 2002. It takes some of the principles of Unix, developed in the same research group, but extends these to a networked environment with graphical terminals.\n\nIn Plan 9, virtually all computing resources, including files, network connections, and peripheral devices, are represented through the file system rather than specialized interfaces. A unified network protocol called 9P ties a network of computers running Plan 9 together, allowing them to share all resources so represented.\n\nThe name ''Plan 9 from Bell Labs'' is a reference to the Ed Wood 1959 cult science fiction Z-movie ''Plan 9 from Outer Space''. Also, Glenda, the Plan 9 Bunny, is presumably a reference to Wood's film ''Glen or Glenda''. The system continues to be used and developed by operating system researchers and hobbyists.\n" " History " "Plan 9 from Bell Labs was originally developed, starting mid-1980s, by members of the Computing Science Research Center at Bell Labs, the same group that originally developed Unix and C. The Plan 9 team was initially led by Rob Pike, Ken Thompson, Dave Presotto and Phil Winterbottom, with support from Dennis Ritchie as head of the Computing Techniques Research Department. Over the years, many notable developers have contributed to the project including Brian Kernighan, Tom Duff, Doug McIlroy, Bjarne Stroustrup and Bruce Ellis.\n\nPlan 9 replaced Unix as Bell Labs's primary platform for operating systems research. It explored several changes to the original Unix model that facilitate the use and programming of the system, notably in distributed multi-user environments. After several years of development and internal use, Bell Labs shipped the operating system to universities in 1992. Three years later, in 1995, Plan 9 was made available for commercial parties by AT&T via the book publisher Harcourt Brace. With source licenses costing $350, AT&T targeted the embedded systems market rather than the computer market at large; Ritchie commented that the developers did not expect to do \"much displacement\" given how established other operating systems had become.\n\nBy early 1996, the Plan 9 project had been \"put on the back burner\" by AT&T in favor of Inferno, intended to be a rival to Sun Microsystems' Java platform.\nIn the late 1990s, Bell Labs' new owner Lucent Technologies dropped commercial support for the project and in 2000, a third release was distributed under an open source license. A fourth release under a new free software license occurred in 2002.\n\nA user and development community, including current and former Bell Labs personnel, produced minor daily releases in form of ISO images. Bell Labs hosted the development. The development source tree is accessible over the 9P and HTTP protocols and is used to update existing installations. In addition to the official components of the OS included in the ISOs, Bell Labs also hosts a repository of externally developed applications and tools.\n\n\n\n Date\n Release\n Comment\n\n 1992\n Plan 9 1st edition\n Released by Bell Labs to universities\n\n 1995\n Plan 9 2nd edition\n Released by Bell Labs for non-commercial purposes\n\n 2000\n Plan 9 3rd ed. (''Brazil'')\n Released by Lucent Technologies under an open source license\n\n 2002\n Plan 9 4th edition\n Released by Lucent Technologies under a new free software license\n\n" " Design concepts " "\nPlan 9 is a distributed operating system, designed to make a network of heterogeneous and geographically separated computers function as a single system. In a typical Plan 9 installation, users work at terminals running the window system rio, and they access CPU servers which handle computation-intensive processes. Permanent data storage is provided by additional network hosts acting as file servers and archival storage.\n\nIts designers state that:\n\n\n\nThe first idea means that, unlike on most operating systems, processes (running programs) each have their own view of the ''namespace'', corresponding to what other operating systems call the file system; a single path name may refer to different resources for different processes. The potential complexity of this setup is controlled by a set of conventional locations for common resources.\n\nThe second idea means that processes can offer their services to other processes by providing virtual files that appear in the other processes' namespace. The client process's input/output on such a file becomes inter-process communication between the two processes. This way, Plan 9 generalizes the Unix notion of the filesystem as the central point of access to computing resources. It carries over Unix's idea of device files to provide access to peripheral devices (mice, removable media, etc.) and the possibility to mount filesystems residing on physically distinct filesystems into a hierarchical namespace, but adds the possibility to mount a connection to a server program that speaks a standardized protocol and treat its services as part of the namespace.\n\nFor example, the original window system, called 8\u00bd, exploited these possibilities as follows. Plan 9 represents the user interface on a terminal by means of three pseudo-files: , which can be read by a program to get notification of mouse movements and button clicks, , which can be used to perform textual input/output, and , writing to which enacts graphics operations (see bit blit). The window system multiplexes these devices: when creating a new window to run some program in, it first sets up a new namespace in which , and are connected to itself, hiding the actual device files to which it itself has access. The window system thus receives all input and output commands from the program and handles these appropriately, by sending output to the actual screen device and giving the currently focused program the keyboard and mouse input. The program does not need to know if it is communicating directly with the operating system's device drivers, or with the window system; it only has to assume that its namespace is set up so that these special files provide the kind of input and accept the kind of messages that it expects.\n\nPlan 9's distributed operation relies on the per-process namespaces as well, allowing client and server processes to communicate across machines in the way just outlined. For example, the command starts a remote session on a compute server. The command exports part of its local namespace, including the user's terminal's devices (, , ), to the server, so that remote programs can perform input/output using the terminal's mouse, keyboard and display, combining the effects of remote login and a shared network filesystem.\n\n=== 9P protocol ===\n\n\nAll programs that wish to provide services-as-files to other programs speak a unified protocol, called 9P. Compared to other systems, this reduces the number of custom programming interfaces. 9P is a generic, medium-agnostic, byte-oriented protocol that provides for messages delivered between a server and a client. The protocol is used to refer to and communicate with processes, programs, and data, including both the user interface and the network. With the release of the 4th edition, it was modified and renamed 9P2000.\n\nUnlike most other operating systems, Plan 9 does not provide special application programming interfaces (such as Berkeley sockets, X resources or ioctl system calls) to access devices. Instead, Plan 9 device drivers implement their control interface as a file system, so that the hardware can be accessed by the ordinary file input/output operations ''read'' and ''write''. Consequently, sharing the device across the network can be accomplished by mounting the corresponding directory tree to the target machine.\n\n=== Union directories and namespaces ===\nPlan 9 allows the user to collect the files (called ''names'') from different directory trees in a single location. The resulting ''union directory'' behaves as the concatenation of the underlying directories (the order of concatenation can be controlled); if the constituent directories contain files having the same name, a listing of the union directory ( or ) will simply report duplicate names. Resolution of a single path name is performed top-down: if the directories and are unioned into with first, then denotes if it exists, only if it exists ''and does not exist'', and no file if neither exists. No recursive unioning of subdirectories is performed, so if exists, the files in are not accessible through the union.\n\nA union directory can be created by using the command:\n\n\n; bind /arm/bin /bin\n; bind -a /acme/bin/arm /bin\n; bind -b /usr/alice/bin /bin\n\n\nIn the example above, is mounted at , the contents of replacing the previous contents of . Acme's directory is then union mounted after , and Alice's personal directory is union mounted before. When a file is requested from , it is first looked for in , then in , and then finally in .\n\nThe separate process namespaces thus replace the notion of a search path in the shell. Where Unix shells have a list of directories to search for programs when given a command, the Plan 9 shell only looks in the directory ; adding commands is done by binding several directories together to appear as a single .\n\nFurthermore, the kernel can keep separate mount tables for each process, and can thus provide each process with its own file system namespace. Processes' namespaces can be constructed independently, and the user may work simultaneously with programs that have heterogeneous namespaces. Namespaces may be used to create an isolated environment similar to chroot, but in a more secure way.\n\nPlan 9's union directory architecture inspired 4.4BSD and Linux union file system implementations, although the developers of the BSD union mounting facility found the non-recursive merging of directories in Plan 9 \"too restrictive for general purpose use\".\n\n\n=== Special virtual filesystems ===\n\n==== /proc ====\nlist contents of directory (ls, lc) command in \n\nInstead of having system calls specifically for process management, Plan 9 provides the file system. Each process appears as a directory containing information and control files which can be manipulated by the ordinary file IO system calls.\n\nThe file system approach allows Plan 9 processes to be managed with simple file management tools such as ls and cat; however, the processes cannot be copied and moved as files.\n\n==== /net ====\nPlan 9 does not have specialised system calls or ioctls for accessing the networking stack or networking hardware. Instead, the file system is used. Network connections are controlled by reading and writing control messages to control files. Sub-directories such as and are used as an interface to their respective protocols.\n\n=== Unicode ===\n\nTo reduce the complexity of managing character encodings, Plan 9 uses Unicode throughout the system. The initial Unicode implementation was ISO 10646. Ken Thompson invented UTF-8, which became the native encoding in Plan 9. The entire system was converted to general use in 1992. UTF-8 preserves backwards compatibility with traditional null terminated strings, enabling more reliable information processing and the chaining of multilingual string data with Unix pipes between multiple processes. Using a single UTF-8 encoding with characters for all cultures and regions eliminates the need for switching between code sets.\n\n=== Combining the design concepts ===\nThough interesting on their own, the design concepts of Plan 9 were supposed to be most useful when combined together. For example, to implement a network address translation (NAT) server, a union directory can be created, overlaying the router's directory tree with its own . Similarly, a virtual private network (VPN) can be implemented by overlaying in a union directory a hierarchy from a remote gateway, using secured 9P over the public Internet. A union directory with the hierarchy and filters can be used to sandbox an untrusted application or to implement a firewall. In the same manner, a distributed computing network can be composed with a union directory of hierarchies from remote hosts, which allows interacting with them as if they are local.\n\nWhen used together, these features allow for assembling a complex distributed computing environment by reusing the existing hierarchical name system.\n" " Software for Plan 9 " "\nAs a benefit from the system's design, most tasks in Plan 9 can be accomplished by using ls, cat, grep, cp and rm utilities in combination with the rc shell (the default Plan 9 shell).\n\nFactotum is an authentication and key management server for Plan 9. It handles authentication on behalf of other programs such that both secret keys and implementation details need only be known to Factotum.\n\n=== Graphical programs ===\nacme and rc\nUnlike Unix, Plan 9 was designed with graphics in mind. After booting, a Plan 9 terminal will run the rio windowing system, in which the user can create new windows displaying rc. Graphical programs invoked from this shell replace it in its window.\n\nThe plumber provides an inter-process communication mechanism which allows system-wide hyperlinking.\n\nSam and acme are Plan 9's text editors.\n\n=== Storage system ===\nPlan 9 supports the Kfs, Paq, Cwfs, FAT, and Fossil file systems. The last was designed at Bell Labs specifically for Plan 9 and provides snapshot storage capability. It can be used directly with a hard drive or backed with Venti, an archival file system and permanent data storage system.\n\n=== Software development ===\nThe distribution package for Plan 9 includes special compiler variants and programming languages, and provides a tailored set of libraries along with a windowing user interface system specific to Plan 9. The bulk of the system is written in a dialect of C (ANSI C with some extensions and some other features left out). The compilers for this language were custom built with portability in mind; according to their author, they \"compile quickly, load slowly, and produce medium quality object code\".\n\nA concurrent programming language called Alef was available in the first two editions, but was then dropped for maintenance reasons and replaced by a threading library for C.\n\n=== Unix compatibility ===\nThough Plan 9 was supposed to be a further development of Unix concepts, compatibility with preexisting Unix software was never the goal for the project. Many command line utilities of Plan 9 share the names of Unix counterparts, but work differently.\n\nPlan 9 can support POSIX applications and can emulate the Berkeley socket interface through the ANSI/POSIX Environment (APE) that implements an interface close to ANSI C and POSIX, with some common extensions (the native Plan 9 C interfaces conform to neither standard). It also includes a POSIX-compatible shell. APE's authors claim to have used it to port the X Window System (X11) to Plan 9, although they do not ship X11 \"because supporting it properly is too big a job\". Some Linux binaries can be used with the help of a \"linuxemu\" (Linux emulator) application; however, it is still a work in progress. Vice versa, the vx32 virtual machine allows a slightly modified Plan 9 kernel to run as a user process in Linux, supporting unmodified Plan 9 programs.\n" " Reception " "\n=== Comparison to contemporary operating systems ===\nIn 1991, Plan 9's designers compared their system to other early nineties operating systems in terms of size, showing that the source code for a minimal (\"working, albeit not very useful\") version was less than one-fifth the size of a Mach microkernel without any device drivers (5899 or 4622 lines of code for Plan 9, depending on metric, vs. 25530 lines). The complete kernel comprised 18000 lines of code. (According to a 2006 count, the kernel was then some 150,000 lines, but this was compared against more than 4.8 million in Linux.)\n\nWithin the operating systems research community, as well as the commercial Unix world, other attempts at achieving distributed computing and remote filesystem access were made concurrently with the Plan 9 design effort. These included the Network File System and the associated vnode architecture developed at Sun Microsystems, and more radical departures from the Unix model such as the Sprite OS from UC Berkeley. Sprite developer Welch points out that the SunOS vnode architecture is limited compared to Plan 9's capabilities in that it does not support remote device access and remote inter-process communication cleanly, even though it could have, had the preexisting UNIX domain sockets (which \"can essentially be used to name user-level servers\") been integrated with the vnode architecture.\n\nOne critique of the \"everything is a file\", communication-by-textual-message design of Plan 9 pointed out limitations of this paradigm compared to the typed interfaces of Sun's object-oriented operating system, Spring:\n\n\n\nA later retrospective comparison of Plan 9, Sprite and a third contemporary distributed research operating system, Amoeba, found that\n\n\n\n=== Impact ===\nThe wmii X window manager was inspired by acme, a text editor from the Plan 9 project.\nPlan 9 demonstrated that an integral concept of Unix\u2014that every system interface could be represented as a set of files\u2014could be successfully implemented in a modern distributed system. Some features from Plan 9, like the UTF-8 character encoding of Unicode, have been implemented in other operating systems. Unix-like operating systems such as Linux have implemented 9P, Plan 9's file system, and have adopted features of rfork, Plan 9's process creation mechanism. Additionally, in Plan 9 from User Space, several of Plan 9's applications and tools, including the sam and acme editors, have been ported to Unix and Linux systems and have achieved some level of popularity. Several projects seek to replace the GNU operating system programs surrounding the Linux kernel with the Plan 9 operating system programs. The 9wm window manager was inspired by 8\u00bd, the older windowing system of Plan 9; wmii is also heavily influenced by Plan 9.\nIn computer science research, Plan 9 has been used as a grid computing platform and as a vehicle for research into ubiquitous computing without middleware.\nIn commerce, Plan 9 underlies Coraid storage systems.\nHowever, Plan 9 has never approached Unix in popularity, and has been primarily a research tool:\n\n\nOther factors that contributed to low adoption of Plan 9 include the lack of commercial backup, the low number of end-user applications, and the lack of device drivers.\n\nPlan 9 proponents and developers claim that the problems hindering its adoption have been solved, that its original goals as a distributed system, development environment, and research platform have been met, and that it enjoys moderate but growing popularity. Inferno, through its hosted capabilities, has been a vehicle for bringing Plan 9 technologies to other systems as a hosted part of heterogeneous computing grids.\n\nSeveral projects work to extend Plan 9, including 9atom and 9front. These forks augment Plan 9 with additional hardware drivers and software, including an improved version of the Upas e-mail system, the go compiler, Mercurial version control system support, and other programs. Plan 9 was ported to the Raspberry Pi single-board computer. The Harvey project attempts to replace the custom Plan 9 C compiler with GCC, to leverage modern development tools such as GitHub and Coverity and speed up development.\n\n==== Derivatives and forks ====\nInferno is a descendant of Plan 9, and shares many design concepts and even source code in the kernel, particularly around devices and the Styx/9P2000 protocol.\nInferno shares with Plan 9 the Unix heritage from Bell Labs and the Unix philosophy.

It was the first appearance of Dean Podmore on a nationally syndicated television show.\n\n''Popstars Live'' premiered on the Seven Network in February 2004. It was scheduled to run for 16 weeks and was originally slated to air on Sunday and Wednesday nights. During its short run ''Popstars Live'' had a troubled history, with two key personnel, Christine Anu and John Paul Young, leaving the program in April 2004 while others have publicly expressed their own concerns about the show. The show was also a ratings failure.\n" "Origins" "''Popstars Live'' was based on the original ''Popstars'', a reality television program that was broadcast on the Seven Network between 2000 and 2002. The aim of that program was to select members for a pop group or a pop singer and follow the process of recording a single and/or album and the subsequent promotion of the record made by the artists.\n\nThe Australian series saw the creation of three acts which enjoyed initial success:\n\n* Bardot (2000) a girl group number one single and album;\n* Scandal'us (2001) a mixed pop group, number one single, number two album;\n* Scott Cain (2002) a male singer, number one single.\n\nWhile the 2000 series of ''Popstars'' was one of the most popular programs on Australian television in that year, its popularity steadily declined in later seasons. In 2003, the Seven Network rested the concept. However, the success of ''Australian Idol'', a show that became the most popular program on Australian television that year, soon led to the Seven Network revisiting the ''Popstars'' format. \n\nRecord sales for ''Idol'' contestants also played a role in the resurrection of ''Popstars'' with ''Australian Idol'' winner Guy Sebastian releasing an album ''Just as I Am'' that went six times platinum in Australia and runner up Shannon Noll's ''That's What I'm Talking About'' striking up sales of five times platinum. Hoping to emulate the success of BMG Records, which had signed on Sebastian and Noll, Universal Music quickly signed up for the new series.\n" "Format" "The first five programs featured the selection of the finalists by the judges. The finalists would then sing live in front of an audience with one finalist being eliminated each week until the final winner is selected. The program aimed to attract a large proportion of voters under 25, a similar as ''Australian Idol''.\n" "Cast" "\nThe ''Popstars'' Team consisted of:\n\n* Luke Jacobz host;\n* Ian \"Molly\" Meldrum judge;\n* Christine Anu judge;\n* Shauna Jensen judge;\n* Tania Doko artist mentor;\n* John Paul Young artist mentor;\n\nThe judges initially said that they would offer constructive criticism to the contestants unlike the strong and sometimes personal criticism offered by Mark Holden and Ian \"Dicko\" Dickson of rival series Australian Idol.\n" "Finalists" "\nThe finalists were (in order of elimination):\n\n* '''Tarryn Wall'''\n* '''Renee Simone'''\n* '''Kiki Courtidis'''\n* '''Don Pancho'''\n* '''Daniel Hamill'''\n* '''Arrnott Olssen'''\n* '''Eleven (Luke and Nick)'''\n* '''Sarah Gardner''' - who made it into the top 63 in Australian Idol 2007 - see image 10 of the top 63 at http://www.australianidol.com.au/photos.html?xmlFile=830.xml\n* '''Miranda Murphy''', from Perth, Western Australia. On 12 July 2004, her debut single debuted at number 19 on the Australian singles charts on 22 July 2004. After an unusually lengthy hiatus from the music scene, and a general lack of activity, it is widely suspected she has been dropped by her record company, due to poor single sales, and a national declining interest in 'bubblegum pop' products of talent quest programs. She now works at \"Jaanz school of singing\".\n* '''Kayne Taylor''', from Melbourne, Victoria who won the 2004 Australian series.\n\nContestants ''Bunny and Xy'' were axed from the program in controversial circumstances. Kayne Taylor ended up winning the series, defeating Miranda Murphy in the final.\n" "Reception and controversies" "The first live performance attracted disappointing ratings when broadcast, attracting only 850,000 in Australian mainland capitals, finishing behind ''American Idol'' on Network Ten and shows on the Nine Network. David Leckie, the managing director of the Seven Network, blamed the disappointing ratings on what he considered to be the bland comments of the judges and pressured the producers to ensure that the judges made stronger comments.\n\nChristine Anu refused to offer harsh criticism of the contestants resigning in April 2004. In a statement issued on her departure, she said: \"I chose to play a positive role model and wanted to encourage these young people in their endeavours, rather than criticise them. Although leaving ''Popstars Live'' was a difficult decision for me to make, I do feel somewhat relieved that I can now focus on my music.\" John Paul Young was sacked although the producers claimed that his contract had finished. \n\nIan \"Molly\" Meldrum and Tania Doko were also criticising elements of the program in the media in early April. Trevor Steel, a UK record producer and the former lead singer of eighties pop group The Escape Club, was brought in by Universal Music as a replacement judge to offer stronger criticism of contestants. \n\nRatings for ''Popstars Live'' continued to decline for the next episode. With 2003 Australian ratings blockbuster ''The Block'' due to commence its 2004 season on the Nine Network and ''American Idol'' performing well on Network Ten, the Seven Network executives shifted the program from Sunday night to Saturday night and scheduled wildlife documentaries to fill the slot. As Saturday night is the night of the week when the fewest people watch television in Australia and when members of the target audience for ''Popstars Live'' are most likely to go out, this shift was widely perceived as an admission of defeat by network executives. The Saturday night program was dropped altogether a few episodes later, leaving only the Wednesday program.\n" "Album" "Universal Music released an album ''Popstars Live: The Finalists'' featuring the finalists singing versions of well-known songs. The first single \"Stand Up Next To Me\" features the finalists singing on the track.\n\n===Sales Performance===\nIn their first week of sales from 5 April 2004, the single barely made the Australian Top 50 and the album could only debut at number 61. Although Universal Music shipped enough copies of both the single and the album to stores to achieve gold status in Australia (35,000 copies), the single and the album only sold one thousand copies. The single eventually reached #29 on the charts and the album reached the ARIA Top 50. Kayne Taylor's debut single ''Heartbreaker'' debuted in the top 10 of the Australian charts at the end of June 2004. Runner-up Miranda Murphy also had a debut single ''That Girl'' released, and it debuted in the top 20 a few weeks after. However, this didn't seem to boost the success of ''Popstars Live'' nor its contestants, with no others releasing singles, nor have Kayne or Miranda released a second single as of November 2004.\n\nThis contrasts with the sales success of artists appearing on ''Australian Idol'' and to a lesser extent the original ''Popstars''. With the television program being moved to a different timeslot less likely to catch the eyes of potential record buyers and the single failing to attract support of radio, it seems as though the album will disappoint the hopes of Universal Music who would have been hoping to match the success of BMG Records from ''Australian Idol'' contestants.\n\n===Track listing===\nThe track listing for the album is:\n\n# \"Stand Up Next To Me\" (all finalists)\n# \"Don't Dream It's Over\" - Kiki (hit for Crowded House)\n# \"Jealous Guy\" - Kayne Taylor (hit for John Lennon and later Roxy Music)\n# \"Killing Me Softly With His Song\" - Miranda Murphy (hit for Roberta Flack and later The Fugees)\n# \"Tainted Love\" - Don Pancho (hit for Gloria Jones and later Soft Cell)\n# \"Truly Madly Deeply\" - Tarryn (originally a hit for Savage Garden)\n# \"Beautiful\" - Arrnott Olssen (hit for Christina Aguilera)\n# \"Nothing Compares 2 U\" - Renee Simone (originally by Prince, hit for Sin\u00e9ad O'Connor)\n# \"The Air That I Breathe\" - Daniel Hamill (originally a hit for The Hollies)\n# \"Everybody Wants To Rule The World\" - Luke Parry and Nick de Silwa (originally a hit for Tears for Fears)\n# \"Everlasting Love\" - Sarah Gardner (originally a hit for a variety of artists including U2 and Gloria Estefan)\n# \"You Will Always Shine\" - Bunny and Xy written by Willie Allen\n" "See also" "\n* List of Australian music television shows\n" "External links" "* Popstar Live webpage\n* \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n"
"Po\u00e9sie Noire" "Introduction" "\n\n'''Po\u00e9sie Noire''' are a Belgian band that rose to prominence in the mid-'80s. Their Belgian origins and tendency to develop a goth-oriented, synthetic, gloomy universe with low-pitched voices - '''Po\u00e9sie Noire''' could translate by ''\"Black/Dark Poetry\"'' - had them categorized as EBM such as other Belgian members of the 1980s electronic music scene like \u00c0;GRUMH... or A Split-Second. However, much in the manner of various renowned Belgian EBM bands like The Neon Judgement and, to some extent, Front 242, they declared, through their music,\na will to step away from the usual industrial aggressiveness that characterized Electronic body music and developed a more mainstream accessible dark pop sound that helped them to be regarded as plain new wave or Darkwave.\n" "History" "\n===Band Members===\n\nInitially based on seven members, Po\u00e9sie Noire rapidly boiled down to just three hardcore members so as to be finally incarnated by Johan Casters aka ''\"La B\u00eate Noire\"'' - ''\"The Black/Dark Beast\"'' - (writer, composer and main male singer of the band), Marianne Valvekens (co-writer, female vocalist up to the 1991 '''''Marianne''''' album - and then back on '''''Sense Of Purpose''''' - and keyboard player) and Herman Gillis (co-writer and mainly the band's guitar player.) As '''Po\u00e9sie Noire''' 's fanbase grew along the years, Johan and Marianne were soon to be given ''\"status nicknames\"'' (probably in tradition of some typically ''\"Goth-spirited\"'' symbolical hierarchy.) Consequently, it did not take long for Casters to be considered the band's ''\"Master\"'' to the fans whereas Marianne became their ''\"Goddess\"''.\n\nIn 1991, Irish vocalist Evanna would join the band for the needs of the '''''Marianne''''' album - because producer Ludo Camberlin didn't feel Marianne's voice was right for the album and Evanna's had more warmth and soul to it.\n\n===Career summary===\n\nVery little is known about how the band actually started their career in music. Nevertheless, they are known to have won the 1985 Breekend Rock Festival (a long-lasting, reputed festival set in Bree, Belgium that hosted large amounts of prestigious bands such as The Smiths in 1984 or even Slade in 2009) This domestic victory probably played a part in giving the band a flattering reputation because the following year, Po\u00e9sie Noire started supporting Dead Can Dance\nand The Sisters of Mercy on tour, seizing this great opportunity of getting in touch with those huge post-punk, goth rock bands' audiences to display their own musical conception of darkness to them and have personal gigs set up in the meantime.\nAlong their years as Po\u00e9sie Noire, the band demonstrated qualities as a prolific act with intensive releases : in just seven years, Casters, Valvekens and Gillis offered their fans 9 albums and mini-albums, 2 official ''best of compilation'', 1 remix compilation and 15 singles which allowed them to appear on various EBM or new wave compilations and become genuine figures of the kind throughout their sphere of influence.\n\n===TBX===\n\nBy 1992, it seems the relations between '''Po\u00e9sie Noire''' and their label, Antler-Subway, were not as sound as they used to. Indeed, the record label promised the band they would release yet another album of the band's composition entitled '''''Delirious''''' but this never happened and Antler-Subway finally released Jo, Herman and newcomer Evanna from their recording contract instead.\n\nWith the help of Ludo Camberlin aka Carl S. Johansen, who had been their producer since the 1989 album '''''Love is Colder than Death''''', '''Po\u00e9sie Noire''' changed their name to TBX (''\"To Be eXcited\"'', that is) and signed to larger label EMI Belgium that enabled them to release this '''''Delirious''''' album which had been the source of so many issues and changes. But unfortunately for the band, this ''\"new beginning\"'' rapidly ended up unsuccessful - because the band's ''\"music was not meant for the mass consumption that ''EMI'' was used to aiming at\"'', their official site explains - and led EMI Belgium to delete TBX from their catalog promptly afterwards. Consequently, for '''Po\u00e9sie Noire/TBX''', the bell tolled although they finally returned in 2010 with a new album, '''''Sense Of Purpose'''''.\n\n===Sense Of Purpose===\n\nMore than a decade after the band split, they formed again and started working on a new album, '''''Sense Of Purpose''''', finally released in October 2010 under the name that made them famous, '''Po\u00e9sie Noire'''.\n\nThe release of this new opus went along with '''Po\u00e9sie Noire''' taking part in the Sinner's Day festival, on October 31, 2010, together with such prestigious artists as Heaven 17, Nina Hagen, Marc Almond, The Psychedelic Furs, Echo & the Bunnymen, Peter Murphy, The Selecter, Department S, Marky Ramone, Jah Wobble or Young Gods.\n" "Side-Projects and Aftermath" "\nAfter '''Po\u00e9sie Noire''' disbanded, their members carried on musical projects they had been involved in while the band was active, developed new ones or radically turned over a new leaf.\n\n===Johan Casters===\n\nUsing different aliases (Morton, Joey Morton, Pateke Morton, Ilya Dimitrijevic,Jill (or Jille) Johnson or Alessandro Di Ravo), Johan Casters has extensively served as a writer, producer and even remixer or editor for various acts and artists. He has developed personal projects from the late 1980s onwards, either alone or with Herman Gillis.\n\nAs a producer or executive producer, Jo has been involved in several obscure projects such as The Passion of a Primitif, Company of State, Men 2nd, In Sotto Voce, Attrition, Ei Mori, Bulgarka, Danse Macabre, Pussy Jew, Dee Bass, Translator, Minimalistix, Orion Too feat. Caitlin, Roxane and Biba Binoche.\n\nAs a remixer or editor, once again, Jo has linked up with a large selection of artists from very obscure to popular favourites as proved by the following list : The Neon Judgement, Jean-Paul Gaultier, The Weathermen, Jean-Jacques Smoothie, Sin\u00e9ad O'Connor.\n\nThough Jo and Marianne seem to go on making music together, Jo was known, in the late 90's, to be working in the field of important musical events coordination and then as A&R for the Roadrunner turned Mostiko division of Arcade/CNR.\n\n===Johan Casters and Herman Gillis (and sometimes, Marianne)===\n\nWhile '''Po\u00e9sie Noire''' was still active, Jo and Herman have been involved as writers and composers in the full or partial development of original or pre-existing projects (with the occasional help of Marianne). The two of them usually worked together though, every once in a while, only one of them would be involved. The massive list of projects the two happen to be behind includes In Sotto Voce, Brothers on Acid, Ei Mori, Bulgarka, Trio Balkana, Fruit of Life, Erotic Dissidents, Mission Impossible, The Brothers, Morton, Sherman and Bellucci, Danse Macabre, Opium Monks, Berliner Meisterschaft, The Secrets of China, Kings of Agreppo, Explorers of the Nile, Taste of Sugar feat. K. Finley, TNT Clan, The New Beat Sensation, Msb Sound System, Beat Professor, The Freak Brothers, Student Fashion, Mr. Horse, Subway's new Acid House Techno Beat, Balearic Beach, M.S.B., Supernova, Brotherhood of Sleep, The Moneymakers, The Airplane Crashers, Voor Den Broode, German Beat Syndrome, Neue Beat Collectione, Matt's Phantasy Club, Serious ft.JJ Maurie, Boris Mikulic, J.E.T., Strictly Nervous.\n\n===Herman Gillis===\n\nSimilarly to Casters, while he was already busy co-writing '''Po\u00e9sie Noire''' tracks and playing the guitar on them, Herman made sure to develop parallel activities as a producer, writer, composer, programmer and musician using, like his fellow singer, multiple nicknames : Sherman, Herman Sherman, Boris Mikulic and Tessa Rossa. Those activities can be traced back to 1987 until 1994.\n\nAmong the projects he worked for as a writer or co-writer, one should note that he regularly assumed the position of a musician in some of them and took care of programming, keyboards and guitar-playing. Included in this category are The Passion of a Primitif (1987), Company of State (1987; 1988), In Sotto Voce - actually, a genuine '''Po\u00e9sie Noire''' side-project posing as a Yugoslavian act. It was incarnated by Jo and Herman, respectively pretending to be Ilya Dimitrijevic and Boris Mikulic. The point of creating those bogus identities and launching this project was to give a ''\"response to a belgian journalist who found Po\u00e9sie Noire too \"poppy\" \"'' (the official site claims) - (1987; 1988; 1989), Boris Mikulic (1990), Volt (formerly known as Running Cow) (1993)...\n\nGillis, much like Casters, also remixed or edited recordings by various artists either with or without Jo : Jean-Paul Gaultier (1989), Take 6 and Take 7 (19??), DWF (1990), Wire...\n\nProducing records soon got Herman interested and he quickly had his own production company set up : Sherman Productions. Among the acts produced by him - either with or without Jo, once again - one can point out : Ei Mori (1988), Bulgarka (1988), Danse Macabre (1988), Boris Mikulic (1990), Spectralyzer (1991), Trance Too (1991), Volt (1993-1994) or Hypnotyz (199?).\n\nHerman Gillis is also reputed for working on a first hand-made filter known as the Sherman Filterbank used by many renowned artists such as Air, The Chemical Brothers, Madonna or The Rolling Stones. After the band Volt he was involved in split up, Gillis decided he would resign from the music scene and dedicate his energy to the conception of electronic filters and effect boxes of the same kind.\n\n===Marianne Valvekens===\n\n\nContrarily to Jo and Hermann, it seems that record production was never an ambition to Marianne which did not stop her from lending her voice to other '''Po\u00e9sie Noire'''-related projects - being sometimes credited as Marianne ''\"the Ice Queen\"'' Valvekens - and taking part in the writing and composing of other projects, as well.\n\nAs a vocalist, Marianne, along with Jo, took part in the 1986 '''''Mijn-Alarm''''' (''\"Mine-Alarm\"'' in Dutch) project which consisted in gathering the singers from 19 Belgian bands such as The Scabs, The Pop Gun or Siglo XX: each of them were to sing a couple lines from the project's song so as to produce a record whose goal was to raise money for the Limburg mineworkers. Later, in 2001, she also gave her voice to M&M Project feat.M's ''''''Wide anthem (Sometimes It Hurt)''''' - the final '\"M\"' stood for Marianne - one of the many Johan-related projects she contributed to also as a writer-composer.\n\nWhen she assumed those positions, Marianne used two pseudonyms - Laura Furia and Mateke Porton - which she signed several contributions to various projects with : '''''Strictly Nervous, A Collection Of Acid Jazz - Jazzy House - Jazz Dance''''' (1993), M&M Project feat.M's ''''''Wide anthem (Sometimes It Hurt)''''' (2001), Orion Too feat.Caitlin's '''''Hope and Wait''''' (2002), '''''So Shy''''' (2002),'''''Travelling''''' (2003) and '''''Making Love For The First Time''''' (2003), Biba Binoche's '''''Je Chante pour toi''''' (2004) and X3 vs Francis Goya's '''''Rain, the guitar song''''' (2003).\n\nAround 2003, she was also said to be writing a book but no further piece of news has ever surfaced about it since then.\n\nHowever, it seems that from the late 1990s onwards, Marianne's main occupation has been as a worker in some kind of employment agency.\n\n===Evanna===\n\nAfter her '''Po\u00e9sie Noire/TBX''' years, it seems Evanna has not been heard of again in the music-making business\n\n===Ludo Camberlin/Carl S. Johansen===\n\nWhile living the '''Po\u00e9sie Noire/TBX''' episode, Ludo Camberlin also worked as a producer on projects affiliated with Jo (Attrition) and has kept producing other influential members of the Belgian music scene such as The Lords of Acid ever since. He apparently now focusses on writing and producing house and techno records.\n" "Discography" "\n===Albums and Mini-Albums===\n\n\n* '''''The Gioconda Smile''''' (1985, ARS Records, LP)\n* '''''Hum And Haw''''' (1986, Antler-Subway, LP)\n* '''''Tales of Doom''''' (1987, Antler-Subway, LP/CD)\n* '''''Tetra''''' (1988, Antler-Subway, LP/CD)\n* '''''Existential Despair Methaphysical Distress Ontological Ungludation and Cosmic Meltdown''''' (1988, Antler-Subway, CD)\n* '''''En Grande Col\u00e8re (Seven Tales of Schizophrenia)''''' (1988, Antler-Subway, LP)\n* '''''(Untitled)''''' (1988, Antler-Subway, Cassette)\n* '''''Pity For The Self Or We'll Teach You To Dance''''' (1989, Antler-Subway, LP)\n* '''''En Grand Col\u00e8re & Pity For The Self Or We'll Teach You To Dance''''' (1989, Antler-Subway,CD)\n* '''''Love is Colder than Death''''' (1989, Antler-Subway, LP/CD/Cassette)\n* '''''Complicated - Compilated 84-89''''' (''Best Of Compilation'') (1990, Antler-Subway, LP/CD/Cassette)\n'' ''Stiletto'', a Brazilian record label, also released another LP version of this compilation with 5 songs less than the Antler-Subway one.''\n* '''''Marianne''''' (1991, Antler-Subway,LP/CD/Cassette)\n* '''''Tabula Rasa''''' (1991, Antler-Subway,CD)\n* '''''Delirious''''' (as '''TBX''') (1992, EMI Belgium/Creastars, CD/Cassette)\n* '''''The Sense Of Purpose''''' (2010)\n\n===Singles===\n\n\n* '''''The Noble Art''''' (1985, ARS Records, 12\")\n* '''''The Gioconda Smile''''' (1985, ARS Records, 12\")\n* '''''Starvation of a Mind''''' (1986, Antler-Subway, 7\")\n* '''''Radio-Active Flood''''' (1987, Antler-Subway, 12\")\n* '''''Timber''''' (1987, Antler-Subway, 12\")\n* '''''Tragedy''''' (1988, Antler-Subway, 7\")\n* '''''Taste of Candy''''' (1988, Antler-Subway, 7\")\n* '''''Love is Colder than Death''''' (1989, Antler-Subway, 12\")\n* '''''D\u00e9j\u00e0 Vu''''' (1989, Antler-Subway, 7\")\n* '''''Oblivion''''' (1989, Antler-Subway, 12\"/CDM)\n* '''''Toulouse''''' (1990, Antler-Subway, 7\"/12\"/CDM)\n* '''''I Didn't Ask''''' (1991, Antler-Subway, 7\"/12\")\n* '''''I've Lost A Friend''''' (1991, Antler-Subway, 7\"/12\")\n* '''''B-Wall''''' (1991, Antler-Subway, 7\")\n* '''''Timber (Remix)''''' (1991, Boy Records (Spain), 7\"/12\")\n* '''''Inspire Me''''' (as '''TBX''') (1992, EMI Belgium/Creastars, 7\"/12\"/CDS/CDM)\n* '''''Sea of Love''''' (as '''TBX''') (1992, EMI Belgium/Creastars, 7\"/CDS)\n* '''''Mercedes Benz''''' (as '''TBX''') (1992, EMI Belgium/Creastars, 7\"/CDS)\n\n===Bootleg Compilations===\n\n\n''It is to be noted that due to some apparent popularity in some parts of South America, Brazilian labels ''NovoDisc Brasil Industria Fonographica Ltda'' and ''CD+ Nordeste Digital Line/MPR Records'' released two \"'''Best Of Po\u00e9sie Noire'''\" Cds between 2002 and 2005.

"Rabbit" "Introduction" "\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n'''Rabbits''' are small mammals in the family Leporidae of the order Lagomorpha, found in several parts of the world. There are eight different genera in the family classified as rabbits, including the European rabbit (''Oryctolagus cuniculus''), cottontail rabbits (genus ''Sylvilagus''; 13 species), and the Amami rabbit (''Pentalagus furnessi'', an endangered species on Amami \u014cshima, Japan). There are many other species of rabbit, and these, along with pikas and hares, make up the order Lagomorpha. The male is called a ''buck'' and the female is a ''doe''; a young rabbit is a ''kitten'' or ''kit''. \n" "Habitat and range" "Outdoor entrance to a rabbit burrow\nRabbit habitats include meadows, woods, forests, grasslands, deserts and wetlands. Rabbits live in groups, and the best known species, the European rabbit, lives in underground burrows, or rabbit holes. A group of burrows is called a warren.\n\nMore than half the world's rabbit population resides in North America. They are also native to southwestern Europe, Southeast Asia, Sumatra, some islands of Japan, and in parts of Africa and South America. They are not naturally found in most of Eurasia, where a number of species of hares are present. Rabbits first entered South America relatively recently, as part of the Great American Interchange. Much of the continent has just one species of rabbit, the tapeti, while most of South America's southern cone is without rabbits.\n\nThe European rabbit has been introduced to many places around the world.\n" "Terminology" "Male rabbits are called ''bucks''; females are called ''does''. An older term for an adult rabbit is ''coney'', while ''rabbit'' once referred only to the young animals. Another term for a young rabbit is ''bunny'', though this term is often applied informally (especially by children) to rabbits generally, especially domestic ones. More recently, the term ''kit'' or ''kitten'' has been used to refer to a young rabbit. A young hare is called a ''leveret''; this term is sometimes informally applied to a young rabbit as well.\n\nA group of rabbits is known as a ''colony'', or ''nest'' (and occasionally a ''warren'', though this more commonly refers to where the rabbits live). A group of young rabbits with the same parentage is referred to as a ''litter'', and a group of domestic rabbits is sometimes called a ''herd''.\n" "Biology" "A skin-skeletal preparation showing its incisors\n\n===Evolution===\nBecause the rabbit's epiglottis is engaged over the soft palate except when swallowing, the rabbit is an obligate nasal breather. Rabbits have two sets of incisor teeth, one behind the other. This way they can be distinguished from rodents, with which they are often confused. Carl Linnaeus originally grouped rabbits and rodents under the class Glires; later, they were separated as the scientific consensus is that many of their similarities were a result of convergent evolution. However, recent DNA analysis and the discovery of a common ancestor has supported the view that they share a common lineage, and thus rabbits and rodents are now often referred to together as members of the superorder Glires.\n\n===Morphology===\nVideo of a European rabbit, showing ears twitching and a jump\nSet of wax models showing development of the rabbit heart\nThe rabbit's long ears, which can be more than long, are probably an adaptation for detecting predators. They have large, powerful hind legs. The two front paws have 5 toes, the extra called the dewclaw. The hind feet have 4 toes. They are plantigrade animals while at rest; however, they move around on their toes while running, assuming a more digitigrade form. Unlike some other paw structures of quadruped mammals, especially those of domesticated pets, rabbit paws lack pads. Their nails are strong and are used for digging; along with their teeth, they are also used for defense.\n\nWild rabbits do not differ much in their body proportions or stance, with full, egg-shaped bodies. Their size can range anywhere from in length and 0.4\u00a0kg in weight to and more than 2\u00a0kg. The fur is most commonly long and soft, with colors such as shades of brown, gray, and buff. The tail is a little plume of brownish fur (white on top for cottontails). Rabbits can see nearly 360 degrees, with a small blind spot at the bridge of the nose.\n\n===Ecology===\nRabbits are hindgut digesters. This means that most of their digestion takes place in their large intestine and cecum. In rabbits, the cecum is about 10 times bigger than the stomach and it along with the large intestine makes up roughly 40% of the rabbit's digestive tract. The unique musculature of the cecum allows the intestinal tract of the rabbit to separate fibrous material from more digestible material; the fibrous material is passed as feces, while the more nutritious material is encased in a mucous lining as a cecotrope. Cecotropes, sometimes called \"night feces\", are high in minerals, vitamins and proteins that are necessary to the rabbit's health. Rabbits eat these to meet their nutritional requirements; the mucous coating allows the nutrients to pass through the acidic stomach for digestion in the intestines. This process allows rabbits to extract the necessary nutrients from their food.\n\n A litter of rabbit kits (baby rabbits)A nest containing baby rabbits\nRabbits are prey animals and are therefore constantly aware of their surroundings. For instance, in Mediterranean Europe, rabbits are the main prey of red foxes, badgers, and Iberian lynxes. If confronted by a potential threat, a rabbit may freeze and observe then warn others in the warren with powerful thumps on the ground. Rabbits have a remarkably wide field of vision, and a good deal of it is devoted to overhead scanning. They survive predation by burrowing, hopping away in a zig-zag motion, and, if captured, delivering powerful kicks with their hind legs. Their strong teeth allow them to eat and to bite in order to escape a struggle. The longest-lived rabbit on record, a domesticated European rabbit living in Tasmania, died at age 18. The lifespan of wild rabbits is much shorter; the average longevity of an eastern cottontail, for instance, is less than one year. \n\n===Sleep===\n\nRabbits are crepuscular, most active at dawn and dusk. The average sleep time of a rabbit in captivity is said to be 8.4 hours. As with other prey animals, rabbits often sleep with their eyes open so sudden movements will wake the rabbit and alert it to dangers.\n" "Diet and eating habits" "A young rabbit looking through the grass.\nRabbits are herbivores that feed by grazing on grass, forbs, and leafy weeds. In consequence, their diet contains large amounts of cellulose, which is hard to digest. Rabbits solve this problem via a form of hindgut fermentation. They pass two distinct types of feces: hard droppings and soft black viscous pellets, the latter of which are known as caecotrophs and are immediately eaten (a behaviour known as ''coprophagy''). Rabbits reingest their own droppings (rather than chewing the cud as do cows and numerous other herbivores) to digest their food further and extract sufficient nutrients.\n\nRabbits graze heavily and rapidly for roughly the first half-hour of a grazing period (usually in the late afternoon), followed by about half an hour of more selective feeding. In this time, the rabbit will also excrete many hard fecal pellets, being waste pellets that will not be reingested. If the environment is relatively non-threatening, the rabbit will remain outdoors for many hours, grazing at intervals. While out of the burrow, the rabbit will occasionally reingest its soft, partially digested pellets; this is rarely observed, since the pellets are reingested as they are produced. Reingestion is most common within the burrow between 8 o'clock in the morning and 5 o'clock in the evening, being carried out intermittently within that period.\n\nHard pellets are made up of hay-like fragments of plant cuticle and stalk, being the final waste product after redigestion of soft pellets. These are only released outside the burrow and are not reingested. Soft pellets are usually produced several hours after grazing, after the hard pellets have all been excreted. They are made up of micro-organisms and undigested plant cell walls.\n\nThe chewed plant material collects in the large cecum, a secondary chamber between the large and small intestine containing large quantities of symbiotic bacteria that help with the digestion of cellulose and also produce certain B vitamins. The pellets are about 56% bacteria by dry weight, largely accounting for the pellets being 24.4% protein on average. The soft feces form here and contain up to five times the vitamins of hard feces. After being excreted, they are eaten whole by the rabbit and redigested in a special part of the stomach. The pellets remain intact for up to six hours in the stomach; the bacteria within continue to digest the plant carbohydrates. This double-digestion process enables rabbits to use nutrients that they may have missed during the first passage through the gut, as well as the nutrients formed by the microbial activity and thus ensures that maximum nutrition is derived from the food they eat. This process serves the same purpose within the rabbit as rumination does in cattle and sheep. \n\nRabbits are incapable of vomiting.\n" "Rabbit diseases" "\nRabbits can be affected by a number of diseases. These include pathogens that also affect other animals and/or humans, such as ''Bordetella bronchiseptica'' and ''Escherichia coli'', as well as diseases unique to rabbits such as rabbit haemorrhagic disease: a form of calicivirus, and myxomatosis.\n\nRabbits and hares are almost never found to be infected with rabies and have not been known to transmit rabies to humans.\n\nAmong the parasites that infect rabbits are tapeworms such as ''Taenia serialis'', external parasites like fleas and mites, coccidia species, and ''Toxoplasma gondii''.\n" "Differences from hares" "\nThe most obvious difference between rabbits and hares is how their kits are born. Rabbits are altricial, having young that are born blind and hairless. In contrast, hares are precocial, born with hair and good vision. All rabbits except cottontail rabbits live underground in burrows or warrens, while hares live in simple nests above the ground (as do cottontail rabbits), and usually do not live in groups. Hares are generally larger than rabbits, with longer ears, larger and longer hind legs and have black markings on their fur. Hares have not been domesticated, while European rabbits are both raised for meat and kept as pets.\n" "Domesticated rabbits" "Vase with rabbit below, made 1777 in Sweden.\n\nThe only rabbit to be widely domesticated is the European rabbit, which has been extensively bred for food and later as a pet. It was first widely kept in ancient Rome and has been refined into a wide variety of breeds during and since the Middle Ages.\n\nDomesticated rabbits have mostly been bred to be much larger than wild rabbits, though selective breeding has produced a range of sizes from dwarf to giant, which are kept as pets and food animals across the world. They have as much colour variation among themselves as other livestock and pet animals. Their fur is prized for its softness; today, Angora rabbits are raised for their long, soft fur, which is often spun into yarn. Other breeds are raised for the fur industry, particularly the Rex, which has a smooth, velvet-like coat and comes in a wide variety of colors and sizes.\n" "As food and clothing" "\n\nRabbits - Kitchen, H\u00f4tel Dieu, Beaune\nTanned rabbit pelt; rabbit pelt is prized for its softness.\nAn Australian 'Rabbiter' circa 1900\nNew South Wales, Australia\n\nLeporids such as European rabbits and hares are a food meat in Europe, China, South America, North America, some parts of the Middle East. By some estimates, world's annual rabbit meat production stands at around 200 million tons.\n\nRabbit is sold in UK butchers and markets, and some supermarkets sell frozen rabbit meat. Additionally, some have begun selling fresh rabbit meat alongside other types of game. At farmers markets and the famous Borough Market in London, rabbits will be displayed dead and hanging unbutchered in the traditional style next to braces of pheasant and other small game. The countries where rabbit meat consumption is highest are Malta (8.89\u00a0kg per inhabitant), Italy (5.71\u00a0kg per inhabitant), Cyprus (4.37\u00a0kg per inhabitant), France (2.76\u00a0kg per inhabitant), Belgium (2.73\u00a0kg per inhabitant), Spain (2.61\u00a0kg per inhabitant) and Portugal (1.94\u00a0kg per inhabitant).\n\nRabbit meat was once commonly sold in Sydney, Australia, the sellers of which giving the name to the rugby league team the South Sydney Rabbitohs, but it quickly became unpopular after the disease myxomatosis was introduced in an attempt to wipe out the country's large feral rabbit population. Rabbit meat is also commonly used in Moroccan cuisine, where it is cooked in a tajine with \"raisins and grilled almonds added a few minutes before serving\".\n\nIn China, rabbit meat is particularly popular in Sichuan cuisine. Among popular dishes are stewed rabbit, spicy diced rabbit, BBQ-style rabbit, and even spicy rabbit heads, which have been compared to the duck neck. Rabbit meat is comparably unpopular elsewhere in the Asia-Pacific.\n\nWhen used for food, rabbits are both hunted and bred for meat. Snares or guns are usually employed when catching wild rabbits for food. In many regions, rabbits are also bred for meat, a practice called cuniculture. Rabbits can then be killed by hitting the back of their heads, a practice from which the term ''rabbit punch'' is derived. Rabbit meat is a source of high quality protein. It can be used in most ways chicken meat is used. In fact, well-known chef Mark Bittman says that domesticated rabbit tastes like chicken because both are blank palettes upon which any desired flavors can be layered. Rabbit meat is leaner than beef, pork, and chicken meat. Rabbit products are generally labeled in three ways, the first being Fryer. This is a young rabbit between and up to 9 weeks in age. This type of meat is tender and fine grained. The next product is a Roaster; they are usually over and up to 8 months in age. The flesh is firm and coarse grained and less tender than a fryer. Then there are giblets which include the liver and heart. One of the most common types of rabbit to be bred for meat is New Zealand white rabbit. The largest rabbit meat producing countries (100,000 tons or more per year) are China, Russia, Italy, France and Spain.\n\nIn efficient production systems, rabbits can turn 20 percent of the proteins they eat into edible meat, compared to 22 to 23 percent for broiler chickens, 16 to 18 percent for pigs and 8 to 12 percent for beef; rabbit meat is more economical in terms of feed energy than beef.\n\nCompared with the meat of other species (especially pork and beef), rabbit meat is richer in proteins and certain vitamins and minerals, while it has less fat; rabbit fat contains less stearic and oleic acids than other species and higher proportions of the essential polyunsaturated linolenic and linoleic fatty acids. The main health issues associated with the use of rabbits for meat are tularemia or rabbit fever which is an infection that may be contracted from close contact with rabbits and the so-called rabbit starvation. Rabbit starvation is most likely due to the deficiency of fat in rabbit meat. In comparison, pemmican is a meat-based food that is nutritionally complete but is composed of dry meat fibers and fat in a 1:1 ratio by weight. Rabbit starvation is similar to other metabolic issues that arise in times of extreme starvation. An analogous condition (though with different symptoms) occurs when carbohydrates are ingested in the absence of fat and protein. These conditions are not well-documented by Western medicine because such total absence of fat and protein are relatively rare and not likely to occur where medical attention is available. However, a slim variety of historical writings refer to rabbit starvation, for example,\nVilhjamur Stefansson in the late 19th century, and in the journals of Charles Darwin.\n\nRabbit pelts are sometimes used for clothing and accessories, such as scarves or hats. Angora rabbits are bred for their long, fine hair, which can be sheared and harvested like sheep wool. Rabbits are very good producers of manure; additionally, their urine, being high in nitrogen, makes lemon trees very productive. Their milk may also be of great medicinal or nutritional benefit due to its high protein content.\n" "Environmental problems" "\nRabbits have been a source of environmental problems when introduced into the wild by humans. As a result of their appetites, and the rate at which they breed, feral rabbit depredation can be problematic for agriculture. Gassing, barriers (fences), shooting, snaring, and ferreting have been used to control rabbit populations, but the most effective measures are diseases such as myxomatosis (myxo or mixi, colloquially) and calicivirus. In Europe, where rabbits are farmed on a large scale, they are protected against myxomatosis and calicivirus with a genetically modified virus. The virus was developed in Spain, and is beneficial to rabbit farmers. If it were to make its way into wild populations in areas such as Australia, it could create a population boom, as those diseases are the most serious threats to rabbit survival. Rabbits in Australia and New Zealand are considered to be such a pest that land owners are legally obliged to control them.\nDomestic rabbits can overpopulate rapidly, becoming a nuisance, as on this university campus.\nEuropean rabbit in Shropshire, England, infected with myxomatosis, a disease caused by the Myxoma virus\n" "In culture and literature" "\nRabbits are often used as a symbol of fertility or rebirth, and have long been associated with spring and Easter as the Easter Bunny. The species' role as a prey animal also lends itself as a symbol of innocence, another Easter connotation. They appear in folklore and modern children's stories, often but not invariably as sympathetic characters.\n\nAdditionally, rabbits are often used as symbols of playful sexuality, which also relates to the human perception of innocence, as well as its reputation as a prolific breeder.\n\n===Folklore and mythology===\nThe rabbit often appears in folklore as the trickster archetype, as he uses his cunning to outwit his enemies.\n* In Aztec mythology, a pantheon of four hundred rabbit gods known as Centzon Totochtin, led by Ometotchtli or Two Rabbit, represented fertility, parties, and drunkenness.\n* In Central Africa, the common hare (''Kalulu''), is \"inevitably described\" as a trickster figure.\n* In Chinese folklore, rabbits accompany Chang'e on the Moon. Also associated with the Chinese New Year (or Lunar New Year), rabbits are also one of the twelve celestial animals in the Chinese Zodiac for the Chinese calendar. It is interesting to note that the Vietnamese lunar new year replaced the rabbit with a cat in their calendar, as rabbits did not inhabit Vietnam.\n* A rabbit's foot is carried as an amulet believed to bring good luck. This is found in many parts of the world, and with the earliest use being in Europe around 600 B.C.\n* In Japanese tradition, rabbits live on the Moon where they make mochi, the popular snack of mashed sticky rice. This comes from interpreting the pattern of dark patches on the moon as a rabbit standing on tiptoes on the left pounding on an usu, a Japanese mortar (See also: Moon rabbit).\n* In Jewish folklore, rabbits (shfanim \u05e9\u05e4\u05e0\u05d9\u05dd) are associated with cowardice, a usage still current in contemporary Israeli spoken Hebrew (similar to English colloquial use of \"chicken\" to denote cowardice).\nTile with two rabbits, two snakes and a tortoise. Illustration for Zakariya al-Qazwini's book. Iran, 19th century.\n* In Korean mythology, as in Japanese, rabbits live on the moon making rice cakes (Tteok in Korean).\n* In Anishinaabe traditional beliefs, held by the Ojibwe and some other Native American peoples, Nanabozho, or Great Rabbit, is an important deity related to the creation of the world.\n* Among English speakers, the rabbit may be invoked at the start of the month out of apotropaic or talismanic superstition.\n* A Vietnamese mythological story portrays the rabbit of innocence and youthfulness. The Gods of the myth are shown to be hunting and killing rabbits to show off their power.\n\nOn the Isle of Portland in Dorset, UK, the rabbit is said to be unlucky and speaking its name can cause upset with older residents. This is thought to date back to early times in the quarrying industry, where piles of extracted stone (not fit for sale) were built into tall rough walls (to save space) directly behind the working quarry face; the rabbit's natural tendency to burrow would weaken these \"walls\" and cause collapse, often resulting in injuries or even death.\nThe name rabbit is often substituted with words such as \u201clong ears\u201d or \u201cunderground mutton\u201d, so as not to have to say the actual word and bring bad luck to oneself. It is said that a public house (on the island) can be cleared of people by calling out the word rabbit and while this was very true in the past, it has gradually become more fable than fact over the past 50 years.\nSee also Three hares.\n\n===Other fictional rabbits===\n\n\nThe rabbit as trickster appears in American popular culture; for example the Br'er Rabbit character from African-American folktales and Disney animation; and the Warner Bros. cartoon character Bugs Bunny.\n\nAnthropomorphized rabbits have appeared in a host of works of film, literature, and technology, notably the White Rabbit and the March Hare in Lewis Carroll's ''Alice's Adventures in Wonderland''; in the popular novels ''Watership Down,'' by Richard Adams, along with its film and television adaptations, ''Rabbit Hill'' by Robert Lawson, as well as in Beatrix Potter's Peter Rabbit stories, and Oswald the Lucky Rabbit, a 1920s cartoon character.\n\n===Urban legends===\n\nIt was commonly believed that pregnancy tests were based on the idea that a rabbit would die if injected with a pregnant woman's urine. This is not true. However, in the 1920s it was discovered that if the urine contained the hCG, a hormone found in the bodies of pregnant women, the rabbit would display ovarian changes. The rabbit would then be killed to have its ovaries inspected, but the death of the rabbit was not the indicator of the results. Later revisions of the test allowed technicians to inspect the ovaries without killing the animal. A similar test involved injecting Xenopus frogs to make them lay eggs, but animal tests for pregnancy have been made obsolete by faster, cheaper, and simpler modern methods.\nA black rabbit\n" "Classifications" "Eastern cottontail (''Sylvilagus floridanus'')\n\n\nRabbits and hares were formerly classified in the order Rodentia (rodent) until 1912, when they were moved into a new order Lagomorpha.

It stars Ronald Colman as the title character, a proper English gentleman who moonlights as a notorious jewel thief, and Kay Francis as his love interest. It is based on the 1906 play ''Raffles, the Amateur Cracksman'' by E. W. Hornung and Eugene Wiley Presbrey, which was in turn adapted from the 1899 novel of the same name by Hornung.\n\nOscar Lagerstrom was nominated for an Academy Award for Sound, Recording.\n\nThe story had been filmed previously as ''Raffles, the Amateur Cracksman'' in 1917 with John Barrymore as Raffles, and again in 1925 by Universal Studios. A 1939 film version, also produced by Goldwyn, stars David Niven in the title role.\n" "Plot" "Gentleman jewel thief Raffles (Ronald Colman) decides to give up his criminal ways as the notorious \"Amateur Cracksman\" after falling in love with Lady Gwen (Kay Francis). However, when his friend Bunny Manders (Bramwell Fletcher) tries to commit suicide because of a gambling debt he cannot repay, Raffles decides to take on one more job for Bunny's sake. He joins Bunny and Gwen as guests of Lord and Lady Melrose, with an eye toward acquiring the Melrose necklace, once the property of Empress Jos\u00e9phine.\n\nComplications arise when a gang of thieves also decides to try for the necklace at the same time. Inspector Mackenzie of Scotland Yard (David Torrence) gets wind of their plot and shows up at the Melrose estate with his men. Burglar Crawshaw breaks into the house and succeeds in stealing the jewelry, only to have Raffles take it away from him. Crawshaw is caught by the police, but learns his robber's identity.\n\nMeanwhile, both Gwen and Mackenzie suspect that Raffles is the famous jewel thief. When the necklace is not found, Mackenzie insists that all the guests remain inside, then quickly changes his mind. Gwen overhears Mackenzie tell one of his men that he intends to let Crawshaw escape, expecting the crook to go after Raffles and thereby incriminate him. She follows Raffles back to London to warn him.\n\nCrawshaw does as Mackenzie anticipated. However, Raffles convinces Crawshaw that it is too dangerous to pursue his original goal with all the policemen around and helps him escape. Then, Raffles publicly confesses to being the Amateur Cracksman.

"Raymond Scott" "Introduction" "\n\n\n'''Raymond Scott''' (born '''Harry Warnow''', September 10, 1908\u00a0\u2013 February 8, 1994) was an American composer, band leader, pianist, engineer, recording studio maverick, and electronic instrument inventor.\n\nAlthough Scott never scored cartoon soundtracks, his music is familiar to millions because of its adaptation by Carl Stalling in over 120 classic Bugs Bunny, Porky Pig, Daffy Duck and other Warner Bros. ''Looney Tunes'' and ''Merrie Melodies'' animated shorts. Scott's melodies may also be heard in contemporary shows like ''Ren and Stimpy'' (which use the original Scott recordings in twelve episodes), ''The Simpsons'', ''Duckman'', ''Animaniacs'', ''The Oblongs'', and ''Batfink''. The only music Scott actually composed to accompany animation were three 20-second electronic commercial jingles for County Fair Bread in 1962.\n" "Early life and career" "Scott was born in Brooklyn, New York to Russian Jewish immigrants, Joseph and Sarah Warnow. His older brother, Mark Warnow, a conductor, violinist, and musical director for the CBS radio program ''Your Hit Parade'', encouraged his musical career.\n\nA 1931 graduate of the Juilliard School of Music, where he studied piano, theory and composition, Scott, under his birth name, began his professional career as a pianist for the CBS Radio house band. His older (by eight years) brother Mark conducted the orchestra. Harry reportedly adopted the pseudonym \"Raymond Scott\" to spare his brother charges of nepotism when the orchestra began performing the pianist's idiosyncratic compositions. In 1935 he married Pearl Zimney (1910\u20132001).\n\nIn late 1936, Scott recruited a band from among his CBS colleagues, calling it the \"Raymond Scott Quintette.\" It was a six-piece group, but the puckish Scott thought ''Quintette'' (his spelling) sounded \"crisper\"; he also told a reporter that he feared \"calling it a 'sextet' might get your mind off music.\" The original sidemen were Pete Pumiglio (clarinet); Bunny Berigan (trumpet, soon replaced by Dave Wade); Louis Shoobe (upright bass); Dave Harris (tenor sax); and Johnny Williams (father of the film composer) on drums. They made their first recordings in New York on February 20, 1937, for the Master Records label, owned by music publisher/impresario Irving Mills (who was also Duke Ellington's manager).\n\nThe Quintette represented Scott's attempt to revitalize Swing music through tight, busy arrangements and reduced reliance on improvisation. He called this musical style \"descriptive jazz,\" and gave his works unusual titles like \"New Year's Eve in a Haunted House,\" \"Dinner Music for a Pack of Hungry Cannibals\" (recorded by the Kronos Quartet in 1993), and \"Bumpy Weather Over Newark.\" While popular with the public, jazz critics disdained it as novelty music. Besides being a prominent figure in recording studios and on radio and concert stages, Scott wrote and was widely interviewed about his sometimes controversial music theories for the leading music publications of the day, including ''Down Beat'', ''Metronome'', and ''Billboard''.\n\nScott believed strongly in composing and playing by ear (quote: \"You give a better performance if you skip the eyes\"). He composed not on paper, but \"on his band\" \u2014 by humming phrases to his sidemen, or by demonstrating riffs and rhythms on the keyboard and instructing players to interpret his cues. It was all done by ear, with no written scores (a process known as \"head arrangements\"). Scott, who was also a savvy sound engineer, recorded the band's rehearsals on discs and used the recordings as references to develop his compositions. He reworked, resequenced, or deleted passages, or added themes from other discs to construct finished works. During the developmental process, his players were allowed to improvise, but once complete, the piece became relatively fixed, with little further improvisation permitted \u2014 a practice that alienated some jazz purists and critics. Although Scott rigidly controlled the band's repertoire and style, he rarely took piano solos, preferring to direct the band from the keyboard and leaving solos and leads to his sidemen. He also had a penchant for adapting classical motifs in his compositions; this earned him the wrath of some serious music authorities who dismissed such practices as \"trivializing the classics.\" The public, who bought his records by the millions, seemed indifferent to any controversy.\n\nThe Quintette existed from 1937 to 1939, and racked up numerous big-selling discs, including \"Twilight in Turkey,\" \"Minuet in Jazz,\" \"War Dance for Wooden Indians,\" \"Reckless Night on Board an Ocean Liner,\" \"Powerhouse,\" and \"The Penguin.\" One of Scott's best-known compositions is \"The Toy Trumpet,\" a cheerful pop confection that is instantly recognizable to many people who cannot name the title or composer. In the 1938 film ''Rebecca of Sunnybrook Farm'', Shirley Temple sings a version of the song with lyrics. Trumpeter Al Hirt's 1964 rendition with Arthur Fiedler and The Boston Pops has become a standard. Another oft-recorded Scott classic, \"In An Eighteenth-Century Drawing Room,\" is a pop adaptation of the opening theme from Mozart's Piano Sonata in C, K. 545.\n\nImage:ToyTrumpetFinale.PNG\nOpening bars of melody line of \"The Toy Trumpet\"\n\nIn 1939 Scott, seeking greater challenges during the swing era, folded his Quintette into a big band, including bass player Chubby Jackson. They were both a recording and touring success. When Scott was appointed music director of CBS radio in 1942, he made history by breaking the color barrier, organizing the first racially integrated radio band. Over the next two years, he hired some of the hottest black jazz heavyweights of the day, such as saxophonist Ben Webster, trumpeter Charlie Shavers, bassist Billy Taylor, trumpeter Emmett Berry, trombonist Benny Morton, and drummer Cozy Cole. In 1942, Scott\u2014who once told an interviewer he wouldn't hire himself to play piano in his own bands\u2014relinquished his keyboard duties with his bands, so he could focus more closely on hiring, composing, arranging and conducting. (He later returned to the keyboard with some of his bands.)\n\nIn 1941, Scott led a 13-piece orchestra to produce what he termed \"silent music\" in New York - making a great show of performing, with very little sound - one of the earliest performances of the silent or near-silent music canon.\n" "Middle career" "After serving as CBS radio music director for a number of variety programs (such as ''Broadway Bandbox'') from 1942 to 1944, Scott left the network to pursue other projects. He composed and arranged music (with lyrics by Bernie Hanighen) for the 1946 Broadway musical ''Lute Song'', starring Mary Martin and Yul Brynner.\n\nIn the late 1940s, contemporaneous with guitarist-engineer Les Paul's studio work with Mary Ford, Scott began recording pop songs using the layered multi-tracked vocals of his second wife, singer Dorothy Collins (1926\u20131994). A number of these were commercially released, but the technique failed to earn Scott the chart success of Les Paul and Mary Ford.\n\nIn 1948, Scott formed a new six-man \"quintet,\" which served for several months as house band for the CBS radio program, ''Herb Shriner Time''. The ensemble also made studio recordings, some of which were released on Scott's own short-lived Master Records label. (This was not the Irving Mills-owned label of the same name; Scott allegedly named his label in tribute to the by-then-defunct Mills enterprise.)\n\nWhen his brother Mark Warnow died in 1949, Scott succeeded him as orchestra leader on the popular CBS Radio show ''Your Hit Parade'' sponsored by Lucky Strike cigarettes. The following year, the show moved to NBC Television, and Scott continued to lead the orchestra until 1957. (Collins was a featured singer on ''Your Hit Parade''.) Although the high-profile position paid well, Scott considered it strictly a \"rent gig,\" and used his lavish salary to finance his electronic music research and development, largely out of the public limelight.\n\nIn 1950 Scott composed his first\u2014and only known\u2014\"serious\" (classical) work, entitled ''Suite for Violin and Piano''. The five-movement suite was performed at Carnegie Hall on February 7, 1950, by violinist Arnold Eidus and pianist Carlo Bussotti, who subsequently recorded the work. (Unreleased at the time, the archival recording was released on CD and digitally in November 2012 by Basta Audio-Visuals.)\n\nIn 1958, while serving as an A&R director for Everest Records, Scott produced singer Gloria Lynne's album ''Miss Gloria Lynne''. The sidemen included many of the same session players (e.g., Milt Hinton, Sam \"The Man\" Taylor, George Duvivier, Harry \"Sweets\" Edison, Eddie Costa, Kenny Burrell, Wild Bill Davis) who participated in Scott's 1959 Secret 7 recording project.\n" "Electronics and research" "\nScott, who attended Brooklyn Technical High School, was an early electronic music pioneer and adventurous sound engineer. During the 1930s and 1940s, many of his band's recording sessions found the bandleader in the control room, monitoring and adjusting the acoustics, often by revolutionary means. As Gert-Jan Blom & Jeff Winner wrote, \"Scott sought to master all aspects of sound capture and manipulation. His special interest in the technical aspects of recording, combined with the state-of-the-art facilities at his disposal, provided him with enormous hands-on experience as an engineer.\"\n\nIn 1946, Scott established Manhattan Research, a division of Raymond Scott Enterprises, Incorporated, which he announced would \"design and manufacture electronic music devices and systems.\" As well as designing audio devices for his own personal use, Manhattan Research Inc. provided customers with sales & service for a variety of devices \"for the creation of electronic music and musique concrete\" including components such as ring modulators, wave, tone and envelope shapers, modulators and filters. Of unique interest were instruments like the \"Keyboard theremin,\" \"Chromatic electronic drum generators,\" and \"Circle generators.\" Scott often described Manhattan Research Inc. as \"More than a think factory - a dream center where the excitement of tomorrow is made available today.\" Bob Moog, developer of the Moog Synthesizer, met Scott in the 1950s, designed circuits for him in the 1960s, and acknowledged him as an important influence.\n\nRelying on several instruments of his own invention, such as the Clavivox and Electronium, Scott recorded futuristic electronic compositions for use in television and radio commercials as well as records of entirely electronic music. A series of three albums designed to lull infants to sleep, Scott's groundbreaking work ''Soothing Sounds for Baby'' was released in 1964 in collaboration with the Gesell Institute of Child Development. The music did not find much favor with the record-buying public of the day. Still, Manhattan Research, Inc. had considerable success in providing striking, ear-catching sonic textures for broadcast commercials.\n\nScott developed some of the first devices capable of producing a series of electronic tones automatically in sequence. He later credited himself as being the inventor of the polyphonic sequencer. (It should be noted that his electromechanical devices, some with motors moving photocells past lights, bore little resemblance to the all-electronic sequencers of the late sixties.) He began working on a machine he said composed using artificial intelligence. The Electronium, as Scott called it, with its vast array of knobs, buttons and patch panels is considered the first self-composing synthesizer.\nSome of Raymond Scott's projects were less complex, but still ambitious. During the 1950s and 1960s, he developed and patented a large number of consumer products that brought electronically produced sounds into the homes and lives of Americans. Among these were electronic telephone ringers, alarms, chimes, and sirens, vending machines and ashtrays with accompanying electronic music scores, an electronic musical baby rattle and an adult toy that produced varying sounds dependent on how two people touched one another. It was Scott's belief that these devices would \"electronically update the many sounds around us - the functional sounds.\"\n\nScott and Dorothy Collins divorced in 1964, and in 1967, he married Mitzi Curtis (1918\u20132012). During the second half of the 1960s, as his work progressed, Scott became increasingly isolated and secretive about his inventions and concepts; he gave few interviews, made no public presentations, and released no records. In 1966-67, Scott (under the screen credit \"Ramond Scott\") composed and recorded electronic music soundtracks for some early experimental films by Muppets impresario Jim Henson.\n\nDuring his jazz/big band period, Scott had often endured tense relationships with musicians he employed (quote: \"No one worked ''with'' Scott; everyone worked ''under'' Scott\"). However, when his career became immersed in electronic gadgetry, he made friends with and seemed to prefer the company of technicians, including Bob Moog, Herb Deutsch, Thomas Rhea, and Alan Entenmann. From time to time Scott welcomed curious visitors to his lab, among them the renowned French electronic music pioneer Jean-Jacques Perrey, in March 1960.\n\nIn 1969, Motown Records impresario Berry Gordy, tipped off about a mad musical scientist engaged in mysterious works, visited Scott at his Long Island labs to witness the Electronium in action. Impressed by the infinite possibilities, Gordy hired Scott in 1971 to serve as director of Motown's electronic music and research department in Los Angeles, a position Scott held until 1977. No Motown recordings using Scott's electronic inventions have yet been publicly identified.\n\nGuy Costa, Head of Operations and Chief Engineer at Motown from 1969 to 1987, said about Scott's hiring:\n:\"He started originally working on the Electronium out of Berry\u2019s house. They set up a room over the garages, and he worked there putting stuff together so Berry could get involved and see the progress. At one point Scott worked out of a studio. The unit never really got finalized\u2014Ray had a real problem letting go. It was always being developed. That was a problem for Berry. He wanted instant gratification. Eventually his interest started to wane after a period of probably two or three years. Finally Ray took the thing down to his house and kept working on it. Berry kind of lost interest. He was off doing Diana Ross movies.\"\n\nScott later said he \"spent 11 years and close to a million dollars developing the Electronium.\" Scott was, thereafter, largely unemployed, though hardly inactive. He continued to modify his inventions, eventually adapting computers and primitive MIDI devices to his systems. He suffered a series of heart attacks, ran low on cash, and eventually became a mere \"Where Are They Now?\" subject.\n\nLargely forgotten by the public by the 1980s, Scott suffered a major stroke in 1987 that left him unable to work or engage in conversation. His recordings were largely out of print, his electronic instruments were cobweb-collecting relics, and his once-abundant royalty stream had slowed to a trickle.\n" "Secret Seven" "In 1959, Scott organized a band of top-tier jazz session musicians and recorded an album entitled ''The Unexpected'', credited to The Secret Seven, and released on the Top Rank label. The secrecy extended to withholding the identity of the musicians in the album's liner notes. The players were later identified as Elvin Jones, Milt Hinton, Kenny Burrell, Eddie Costa, Sam \"The Man\" Taylor, Harry \"Sweets\" Edison, Wild Bill Davis and Toots Thielemans.\n" "The cartoon connection" "In 1943 Scott sold his music publishing to Warner Bros., who allowed Carl Stalling, music director for ''Looney Tunes'' and ''Merrie Melodies'', to adapt anything in the Warner music catalog.\n\nStalling immediately began peppering his cartoon scores with Scott quotes, such as in ''The Great Piggy Bank Robbery''. Besides being used in ''Looney Tunes'' and ''Merrie Melodies'', Scott's tunes have been licensed to propel the hijinks of ''The Simpsons'', ''Ren and Stimpy'', ''Animaniacs'', ''The Oblongs'', ''Batfink'', and ''Duckman'' cartoons. \"Powerhouse\" was quoted ten times in the Warner Brothers feature ''Looney Tunes: Back in Action'' (2003).\n" "Obscurity and rediscovery" "His legacy underwent a revival in the early 1990s after Irwin Chusid met Raymond and his wife Mitzi at their home in California and discovered a vast collection of unreleased recordings of rehearsals and studio sessions. In 1992, the release of ''Reckless Nights and Turkish Twilights'' on Columbia produced by Irwin Chusid (with Hal Willner as executive producer) was the first major-label CD compilation of his groundbreaking 1937\u201339 six-man quintet. A year earlier, Irwin Chusid and Will Friedwald produced a CD of live Scott quintet broadcasts titled ''The Man Who Made Cartoons Swing'' for the Stash label. Around this time, the director of ''The Ren & Stimpy Show'', John Kricfalusi, began hot-wiring his cartoon episodes with original Scott quintet recordings. In the late-1990s, The Beau Hunks (a Dutch ensemble originally formed to perform music created by Leroy Shield for the Laurel and Hardy movies) released two albums of Scott's sextet (a.k.a. \"Quintette\") repertoire, ''Celebration on the Planet Mars'' and ''Manhattan Minuet'' (both released on Basta Audio-Visuals). Various members of the Beau Hunks (reconfigured as a \"Saxtet\", then a \"Soctette\") also performed and recorded various Scott works, sometimes in collaboration with the Metropole Orchestra.\n\n\"Powerhouse\" has been used as a promotional bumper for the Cartoon Network, as well has having been interpreted by the rock band Rush in their 1978 song \"La Villa Strangiato\" on their ''Hemispheres'' album. The same tune was reinterpreted as the song \"Bus to Beelzebub\" by the New York band Soul Coughing, who have used Scott samples in other compositions, such as Scott's \"The Penguin\" in their song \"Disseminated.\" They Might Be Giants have also incorporated \"Powerhouse\" into their music, briefly including it in their song \"Rhythm Section Want Ad\" from their self-titled 1986 debut album. In 1993, Warner Bros. music director Richard Stone scored an entire installment of ''Steven Spielberg Presents Animaniacs'' around \"Powerhouse\" (the episode, entitled \"Toy Shop Terror,\" notably had no dialogue except in the closing seconds, thus allowing Stone's Stalling-meets-Spike Jones arrangement to dominate the soundtrack). In late 2006, \"Powerhouse\" began airing regularly as the soundtrack for a Visa check card TV commercial. It has also often been used as a bumper on \"Wait Wait... Don't Tell Me!,\" NPR's weekly quiz show. It also appeared in ''The Simpsons'', played over the ludicrous and allegedly true method by which bowling alleys assemble new pins.\n\nClarinetist Don Byron has recorded and performed Scott's music, as have the Kronos Quartet, Steroid Maximus (J. G. Thirlwell), Jon Rauhouse, The Tiptons (with Amy Denio), Jeremy Cohen's Quartet San Francisco, Skip Heller, Phillip Johnston, and others. Robert Wendel arranged six Scott works and one medley for full symphony orchestra in the mid-1990s. The New York\u2013based septet The Raymond Scott Orchestrette recorded an album (produced by Chusid) of radically modernistic interpretations of Scott compositions (Evolver Records, 2002) and stages sporadic performances. Classical pianist Jenny Lin covered Scott's \"The Sleepwalker\" on her album ''InsomniMania'' (Koch Classics, 2008), and has performed Scott's \"Powerhouse\" in concert.\n\nThe posthumously released 2-CD set, ''Manhattan Research Inc.'' (Basta, 2000, co-produced by Gert-Jan Blom and Jeff Winner) showcases Scott's pioneering electronic works from the 1950s and 1960s on two CDs (the package includes a 144-page hardcover book). ''Microphone Music'' (Basta, 2002, produced by Irwin Chusid with Blom and Winner as project advisors), explores the original Scott Quintette's work. The 2008 CD release ''Ectoplasm'' (Basta) chronicles a second (1948\u201349) incarnation of the six-man \"quintet\" format, with Scott's future wife Dorothy Collins singing on several tracks. In 2017, Basta plans to issue a 3-LP set entitled ''Three Willow Park: Electronic Music from Inner Space'', largely featuring unreleased electronic recordings made by Scott between 1965 and 1972.\n\nIn 2008, members of the West Point Concert Band and the band\u2019s Field Music Group, The Hellcats, formed the Quintette 7 to perform Raymond Scott sextet repertoire. In 2010 they recorded the album ''Quintette 7 Plays the Music of Raymond Scott'', which featured 21 Scott titles.\n\nDevo founding member Mark Mothersbaugh, through his company Mutato Muzika, purchased Scott's only (non-functioning) Electronium in 1996, with the intention of restoring it to working order. In November 2012, the restoration team was able to get the Electronium running and producing basic sounds.\n" "Quotations" "*\"Perhaps within the next hundred years, science will perfect a process of thought transference from composer to listener. The composer will sit alone on the concert stage and merely 'think' his idealized conception of his music. Instead of recordings of actual music sound, recordings will carry the brainwaves of the composer directly to the mind of the listener.\" \u2014Raymond Scott, 1949\n*\"The composer must bear in mind that the radio listener does not hear music directly. He hears it only after the sound has passed through a microphone, amplifiers, transmission lines, radio transmitter, receiving set, and, finally, the loud speaker apparatus itself.\" \u2014Raymond Scott, 1938\n*\"Being introduced to the music of Raymond Scott was like being given the name of a composer I feel I have heard my whole life, who until now was nameless.

"Robot Rabbit" "Introduction" "\n\n'''''Robot Rabbit''''' is a Warner Bros. animated short of the ''Looney Tunes'' series. Originally released to theaters on December 12, 1953, it stars Bugs Bunny and Elmer Fudd as its main characters.\n" "Summary" "Elmer Fudd is shown as a carrot farmer who is happily going about his chores singing \"In a Little Red Barn (On a Farm down in Indiana)\". Halfway through the song, he realizes Bugs has joined his singing. At the end of the chorus of the song, Bugs dives into his hole, and carrots fly into the air. Elmer angrily laments \"Ooooh, da wascal wabbit is in my cawwots again!\", and then rushes into his house to retrieve a shotgun. After shooting into an empty hole (Bugs had conveniently left the hole, then does his \"fake dying\" act, culminating in an actual metal bucket that materializes, which Bugs kicks), Elmer exclaims \"Howway! Da wabbit kicked da bucket!\", then he and Bugs start dancing as a result until Elmer begins to realize Bugs is still very much alive.\n\nThat prompts Fudd to call \"''ACME Pest Control''\": '''('''''\"Hewwo? ACME Pest Contwol? Weww, I've got a pest I want contwolled.\"''''')''' for a robot with the express purpose of evicting Bugs. The robot initially confuses a mule and Elmer \u2014 who was trying to explain to the robot what a rabbit looks like \u2014 for his intended target before getting the early upper-hand. Bugs quickly evens the score by luring his antagonist under a rotating water sprinkler, causing the robot to rust. Elmer however resolves this setback just as quickly by oiling the robot up and then warns him that he'll be sold for old scrap iron if he doesn't get the job done.\n\nLater, Bugs disguises himself as a female robot '''('''''where he literally throws a wrench into their'' \"''relationship''\"''')''', before finally causing the robot to follow him through a construction site and beneath a pile driver. Back at home, Elmer starts wondering how the robot fared, Bugs greets him and dumps the remains of the robot onto the floor; it proved that the robot was crushed underneath the pile driver. As Bugs walks off, he comments to himself: \"Ya know, someday, dese scientists are gonna invent something dat will \"outsmart\" a rabbit\".\n" "Errors" "When Bugs is speaking to the audience while running away from the robot, his mouth didn't move.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n"
"Rodeo" "Introduction" "\n\n\n'''Rodeo''' ( or ) is a competitive sport that arose out of the working practices of cattle herding in Spain, Mexico, and later Central America, the United States, Canada, South America, Australia and New Zealand. It was based on the skills required of the working vaqueros and later, cowboys, in what today is the western United States, western Canada, and northern Mexico. Today it is a sporting event that involves horses and other livestock, designed to test the skill and speed of the cowboys and cowgirls. American style professional rodeos generally comprise the following events: tie-down roping, team roping, steer wrestling, saddle bronc riding, bareback bronc riding, bull riding and barrel racing. The events are divided into two basic categories: the rough stock events and the timed events. Depending on sanctioning organization and region, other events such as breakaway roping, goat tying, or pole bending may also be a part of some rodeos.\n\nAmerican rodeo, particularly popular today within the Canadian province of Alberta and throughout the western United States, is the official state sport of Wyoming, South Dakota, and Texas. The iconic silhouette image of a \"Bucking Horse and Rider\" is a federal and state-registered trademark of the State of Wyoming. The Legislative Assembly of Alberta has considered making American rodeo the official sport of that province. However, enabling legislation has yet to be passed.\n\nIn the United States, professional rodeos are governed and sanctioned by the Professional Rodeo Cowboys Association (PRCA) and Women's Professional Rodeo Association (WPRA), while other associations govern children's, high school, collegiate, and senior rodeos. Associations also exist for Native Americans and other minority groups. The traditional season for competitive rodeo runs from spring through fall, while the modern professional rodeo circuit runs longer, and concludes with the PRCA National Finals Rodeo (NFR) in Las Vegas, Nevada, now held in December.\n\nRodeo has provoked opposition from animal rights and animal welfare advocates, who argue that various competitions constitute animal cruelty. The American rodeo industry has made progress in improving the welfare of rodeo animals, with specific requirements for veterinary care and other regulations that protect rodeo animals. However, rodeo is opposed by a number of animal welfare organizations in the United States and Canada. Some local and state governments in North America have banned or restricted rodeos, certain rodeo events, or types of equipment. Internationally, rodeo is banned in the United Kingdom and the Netherlands, with other European nations placing restrictions on certain practices.\n" "Etymology" "The American English word \"rodeo\" is taken directly from Spanish ''rodeo'' (), which roughly translates into English as \"round up.\"\n\nThe Spanish word is derived from the verb ''rodear,'' meaning \"to surround\" or \"go around,\" used to refer to \"a pen for cattle at a fair or market,\" derived from the Latin ''rota'' or ''rotare,'' meaning to rotate or go around.\n\nIn Spanish America, the ''rodeo'' was the process that was used by vaqueros to gather cattle for various purposes, such as moving them to new pastures, separating the cattle owned by different ranchers, or gathering in preparation for slaughter (''matanza''). The yearly rodeos for separating the cattle were overseen by the \"Juez del Campo,\" who decided all questions of ownership. The term was also used to refer to exhibitions of skills used in the working ''rodeo''. This evolved from these yearly gatherings where festivities were held and horsemen could demonstrate their equestrian skills. It was this latter usage which was adopted into the cowboy tradition of the United States and Canada.\n\nThe term ''rodeo'' was first used in English in approximately 1834 to refer to a cattle round-up. Today the word is used primarily to refer to a public exhibition of cowboy skills, usually in the form of a competitive event.\n" "History of rodeo" "\nBranding calves, 1888.\nMany rodeo events were based on the tasks required by cattle ranching. The working cowboy developed skills to fit the needs of the terrain and climate of the American west, and there were many regional variations. The skills required to manage cattle and horses date back to the Spanish traditions of the ''vaquero.''\n\nEarly rodeo-like affairs of the 1820s and 1830s were informal events in the western United States and northern Mexico with cowboys and ''vaqueros'' testing their work skills against one another. Following the American Civil War, rodeo competitions emerged, with the first held in Cheyenne, Wyoming in 1872. Prescott, Arizona claimed the distinction of holding the first professional rodeo, as it charged admission and awarded trophies in 1888. Between 1890 and 1910, rodeos became public entertainment, sometimes combined Wild West shows featuring individuals such as Buffalo Bill Cody, Annie Oakley, and other charismatic stars. By 1910, several major rodeos were established in western North America, including the Calgary Stampede, the Pendleton Round-Up, and the Cheyenne Frontier Days.\n\nRodeo-type events also became popular for a time in the big cities of the Eastern United States, with large venues such as Madison Square Garden playing a part in popularizing them for new crowds. There was no standardization of events for a rodeo competition until 1929, when associations began forming.\n\nIn the 1970s, rodeo saw unprecedented growth. Contestants referred to as \"the new breed\" brought rodeo increasing media attention. These contestants were young, often from an urban background, and chose rodeo for its athletic rewards. By 1985, one third of PRCA members had a college education and one half of the competitors had never worked on a cattle ranch. Today, some professional rodeos are staged in large, air-conditioned arenas; offer large purses, and are often telecast. Many other professional rodeos are held outside, under the same conditions of heat, cold, dust or mud as were the original events.\n\n===Women===\n\nFannie Sperry Steele, Champion Lady Bucking Horse Rider, Winnipeg Stampede, 1913\nHistorically, women have long participated in rodeo. \"Prairie Rose\" Henderson debuted at the Cheyenne rodeo in 1901, and, by 1920, women were competing in rough stock events, relay races and trick riding. But after Bonnie McCarrol died in the Pendleton Round-Up in 1929 and Marie Gibson died in a horse wreck in 1933, women's competitive participation was curbed. Rodeo women organized into various associations and staged their own rodeos. Today, women's barrel racing is included as a competitive event in professional rodeo, with breakaway roping and goat tying added at collegiate and lower levels. They compete equally with men in team roping, sometimes in mixed-sex teams. Women also compete in traditional roping and rough stock events at women-only rodeos.\n" "Competitive events" "Barrel racing\n\nProfessional rodeos in the United States and Canada usually incorporate both timed events and \"rough stock\" events, most commonly calf roping, team roping, steer wrestling, saddle bronc and bareback bronc riding, bull riding, and barrel racing. Additional events may be included at the collegiate and high school level, including breakaway roping and goat tying. Some events are based on traditional ranch practices; others are modern developments and have no counterpart in ranch practice.\n\nRodeos may also offer western-themed entertainment at intermission, including music and novelty acts, such as trick riding.\n\n===Timed events===\nTeam roping, here, the steer has been roped by the ''header,'' and the ''heeler'' is now attempting a throw.\n\n====Roping====\nRoping competitions are based on the tasks of a working cowboy, who often had to capture calves and adult cattle for branding, medical treatment and other purposes. The cowboy must throw a type of rope with a loop, known as a lariat, ''riata'' or ''reata'', or lasso, over the head of a calf or onto the horns and around the hind legs of adult cattle, and secure the animal in a fashion dictated by its size and age.\n*Calf Roping, also called Tie-down roping, is based on ranch work in which calves are roped for branding, medical treatment, or other purposes. It is the oldest of rodeo's timed events. The cowboy ropes a running calf around the neck with a lariat, and his horse stops and sets back on the rope while the cowboy dismounts, runs to the calf, throws it to the ground and ties three feet together. (If the calf falls when roped, the cowboy must lose time waiting for the calf to get back to its feet so that the cowboy can do the work.) The job of the horse is to hold the calf steady on the rope. A well-trained calf-roping horse will slowly back up while the cowboy ties the calf, to help keep the lariat snug.\n* Breakaway roping - a form of calf roping where a very short lariat is used, tied lightly to the saddle horn with string and a flag. When the calf is roped about the neck, the horse stops, the flagged rope breaks free of the saddle, and the calf runs on without being thrown or tied. In most of the United States, this event is primarily for women of all ages and boys under 12. In places where traditional \"tie-down\" calf roping is not allowed, riders of both genders compete.\n* Team roping, also called \"heading and heeling,\" is the only rodeo event where men and women riders compete together. Two people capture and restrain a full-grown steer. One horse and rider, the \"header,\" lassos a running steer's horns, while the other horse and rider, the \"heeler,\" lassos the steer's two hind legs. Once the animal is captured, the riders face each other and lightly pull the steer between them, so that it loses its balance and lies down. This technique originated from methods of capture and restraint for treatment used on a ranch.\n\n====Other timed events====\n* Barrel racing - is a timed speed and agility event. In barrel racing, horse and rider gallop around a cloverleaf pattern of barrels, making agile turns without knocking the barrels over. In professional, collegiate and high school rodeo, barrel racing is an exclusively women's sport, though men and boys occasionally compete at local O-Mok-See competition.\nSteer wrestling\n* Steer wrestling - Also known as \"Bulldogging,\" is a rodeo event where the rider jumps off his horse onto a Corriente steer and 'wrestles' it to the ground by grabbing it by the horns. This is probably the single most physically dangerous event in rodeo for the cowboy, who runs a high risk of jumping off a running horse head first and missing the steer, or of having the thrown steer land on top of him, sometimes horns first.\n*Goat tying is usually an event for women or pre-teen girls and boys; a goat is staked out while a mounted rider runs to the goat, dismounts, grabs the goat, throws it to the ground and ties it in the same manner as a calf. The horse must not come into contact with the goat or its tether. This event was designed to teach smaller or younger riders the basics of calf roping without requiring the more complex skill of roping the animal. This event is not part of professional rodeo competition.\n\n===\"Rough stock\" competition===\nSaddle bronc riding; in rough stock events, the animal usually \"wins.\"\nIn spite of popular myth, most modern \"broncs\" are not in fact wild horses, but are more commonly spoiled riding horses or horses bred specifically as bucking stock. Rough stock events also use at least two well-trained riding horses ridden by \"pick up men\" (or women), tasked with assisting fallen riders and helping successful riders get safely off the bucking animal.\n* Bronc riding - there are two divisions in rodeo, bareback bronc riding, where the rider is only allowed to hang onto a bucking horse with a type of surcingle called a \"rigging\"; and saddle bronc riding, where the rider uses a specialized western saddle without a horn (for safety) and hangs onto a heavy lead rope, called a bronc rein, which is attached to a halter on the horse.\n* Bull riding - an event where the cowboys ride full-grown bulls instead of horses. Although skills and equipment similar to those needed for bareback bronc riding are required, the event differs considerably from horse riding competition due to the danger involved. Because bulls are unpredictable and may attack a fallen rider, rodeo clowns, now known as \"bullfighters\", work during bull-riding competition to distract the bulls and help prevent injury to competitors.\nBull riding\n\n====Less common events====\nSeveral other events may be scheduled on a rodeo program depending upon the rodeo's governing association.\n* Steer roping \u2014Not listed as an official PRCA event, and banned in several states, but quietly recognized by the PRCA in some areas. It is rarely seen in the United States today because of the tremendous risk of injury to all involved, as well as animal cruelty concerns. A single roper ropes the steer around the horns, throws the rope around the steer's back hip, dallies, and rides in a ninety-degree angle to the roped steer (opposite side from the aforementioned hip). This action brings the steer's head around toward the legs in such a manner as to redirect the steer's head towards its back legs. This causes the steer to \"trip\". Steers are too big to tie in the manner used for calves. Absent a \"heeler,\" it is very difficult for one person to restrain a grown steer once down. However, the steer's \"trip\" causes it to be temporarily incapacitated allowing its legs to be tied in a manner akin to calf roping. The event has roots in ranch practices north of the Rio Grande, but is no longer seen at the majority of American rodeos. However, it is practiced at some rodeos in Mexico, and may also be referred to as \"steer tripping.\"\n* Steer daubing\u2014Usually seen at lower levels of competition, an event to help young competitors learn skills later needed for steer wrestling. A rider carrying a long stick with a paint-filled dauber at the end attempts to run up alongside a steer and place a mark of paint inside a circle that has been drawn on the side of the animal. \n*Pole bending is a speed and agility competition sometimes seen at local and high school rodeos. It is more commonly viewed as a gymkhana or O-Mok-See competition. In pole bending, the horse and rider run the length of a line of six upright poles, turn sharply and weave through the poles, turn again and weave back, then return to the start.\n*Chute Dogging is an event to teach pre-teen boys how to steer wrestle. The competitor enters a bucking chute with a small steer. The boy will then place his right arm around the steer's neck and left hand on top of its neck. When ready, the gate is opened and steer and contestant exit the chute. Once they cross over a designated line, the competitor will grab onto the horns of the steer (colloquially, to \"hook-up\" to the steer) and wrestle it to the ground.\n\n===Other activities===\nGrand Entry at the Pendleton Round-Up\nOutside of competitive events, other activities are often associated with rodeos, particularly at local levels. A typical rodeo begins with a \"Grand Entry\", in which mounted riders, many carrying flags, including the American flag, state flags, banners representing sponsors, and others enter the arena at a gallop, circle once, come to the center of the arena and stop while the remaining participants enter. The grand entry is used to introduce some of the competitors, officials, and sponsors. It is capped by the presentation of the American flag, usually with a rendition of \"The Star-Spangled Banner,\" and, depending on region, other ceremonies. If a rodeo queen is crowned, the contestants or winner and runners-up may also be presented.\n\nVariety acts, which may include musicians, trick riders or other entertainment may occur halfway through the rodeo at intermission. Some rodeos may also include novelty events, such as steer riding for preteens or \"mutton busting\" for small children. In some places, various types of novelty races or events such as wild cow milking are offered for adults. Such contests often are unregulated, with a higher risk of injury to human participants and poor treatment of animals than in traditionally-sanctioned events, particularly if consumption of alcoholic beverages by participants is permitted.\n" "Governing organizations in the United States" "Formal organizations and detailed rules came late to rodeo. Until the mid-1930s, every rodeo was independent and selected its own events from among nearly one hundred different contests. Until World War I, there was little difference between rodeo and ''charreada''. Athletes from the US, Mexico and Canada competed freely in all three countries. Subsequently, ''charreada'' was formalized as an amateur team sport and the international competitions ceased. It remains popular in Mexico and Hispanic communities of the U.S. today.\n\nNumerous organizations govern rodeo in the United States, each with slightly different rules and different events. The oldest and largest sanctioning body of professional rodeo is the Professional Rodeo Cowboys Association (PRCA) which governs about a third of all rodeos staged in the US annually. It was originally named the Cowboys Turtle Association, later became the Rodeo Cowboys Association, and finally the Professional Rodeo Cowboys Association in 1975. The PRCA crowns the World Champions at the National Finals Rodeo (NFR), in Las Vegas on the UNLV campus, featuring the top fifteen money-winners in seven events.\n\nThe Professional Bull Riders (PBR) is a more recent organization dedicated solely to bull riding. Rodeo gender bias was a problem for cowgirls, and in response women formed the Girls Rodeo Association in 1948 (now the Women's Professional Rodeo Association (WPRA)) and held their own rodeos. The Women's Professional Rodeo Association (WPRA) is open exclusively to women. Women's barrel racing is governed by the WPRA, which holds finals for barrel racing along with the PRCA with the cowboys at the NFR. There are associations governing children's, teen, and college level rodeos as well as associations governing rodeo for gays, seniors, Native Americans and others.\n\nThere are also high-school rodeos, sponsored by the National High School Rodeo Association (NHSRA). Many colleges, particularly land grant colleges in the west, have rodeo teams. The National Intercollegiate Rodeo Association (NIRA) is responsible for the College National Finals Rodeo (CNFR) held each June in Casper, WY. Other rodeo governing bodies in the United States include American Junior Rodeo Association (AJRA) for contestants under twenty years of age; National Little Britches Rodeo Association (NLBRA), for youths ages five to eighteen; Senior Pro Rodeo (SPR), for people forty years old or over; and the International Gay Rodeo Association. Each organization has its own regulations and its own method of determining champions. Athletes participate in rodeos sanctioned by their own governing body or one that has a mutual agreement with theirs and their points count for qualification to their Association Finals. Rodeo committees must pay sanctioning fees to the appropriate governing bodies, and employ the needed stock contractors, judges, announcers, bull fighters, and barrel men from their approved lists. Other nations have similar sanctioning organizations.\n\nUntil recently, the most important was PRCA, which crowns the World Champions at the National Finals Rodeo (NFR), held since 1985 at Las Vegas, Nevada, featuring the top fifteen money-winners in seven events. The athletes who have won the most money, including NFR earnings, in each event are the World's Champions. However, since 1992, Professional Bull Riders, Inc. (PBR) has drawn many top bull riders, and holds its own multimillion-dollar finals in Las Vegas prior to the NFR. Women's barrel racing is governed by the WPRA, and holds its finals along with the PRCA with the cowboys at the NFR.\n\nContemporary rodeo is a lucrative business. More than 7,500 cowboys compete for over thirty million dollars at 650 rodeos annually. Women's barrel racing, sanctioned by the WRPA, has taken place at most of these rodeos. Over 2,000 barrel racers compete for nearly four million dollars annually. Professional cowgirls also compete in bronc and bull riding, team roping and calf roping under the auspices of the PWRA, a WPRA subsidiary. However, numbers are small, about 120 members, and these competitors go largely unnoticed, with only twenty rodeos and seventy individual contests available annually. The total purse at the PWRA National Finals is $50,000. Meanwhile, the PBR has 700 members from three continents and ten million dollars in prize money.\n" "Canada" "Stampede field with marching band onstage, 2007\nThe first rodeo in Canada was held in 1902 in Raymond, Alberta when Raymond Knight funded and promoted a rodeo contest for bronc riders and steer ropers called the Raymond Stampede. Knight also coined the rodeo term \"stampede\" and built rodeo's first known shotgun style bucking chute. In 1903, Knight built Canada's first rodeo arena and grandstand and became the first rodeo producer and rodeo stock contractor.\n\nIn 1912, Guy Weadick and several investors put up $100,000 to create what today is the Calgary Stampede. The Stampede also incorporated mythical and historical elements, including Native Indians in full regalia, chuckwagon races, the Mounted Police, and marching bands. From its beginning, the event has been held the second week in July, and since 1938, attendees were urged to dress for the occasion in western hats to add to the event's flavour.\n\nBy 2003, it was estimated that 65 professional rodeos involving 700 members of the Canadian Professional Rodeo Association (CPRA) took place in Western Canada, along with professionals from the United States. Many Canadian contestants were part-timers who did not earn a significant living from rodeo.\n\nCanadians made several significant contributions to the sport of rodeo. In 1916, at the Bascom Ranch in Welling, Alberta, John W. Bascom and his sons Raymond, Mel, and Earl designed and built rodeo's first side-delivery bucking chute for the ranch rodeos they were producing. In 1919, Earl and John made rodeo's first reverse-opening side-delivery bucking chute at the Bascom Ranch in Lethbridge, Alberta. This Bascom-style bucking chute is now rodeo's standard design. Earl Bascom also continued his innovative contributions to the sport of rodeo by designing and making rodeo's first hornless bronc saddle in 1922, rodeo's first one-hand bareback rigging in 1924, and the first high-cut rodeo chaps in 1928. Earl and his brother Weldon also produced rodeo's first night rodeo held outdoors under electric lights in 1935.\n\nThe Canadian Pro Rodeo Hall Of Fame is located in Ponoka, Alberta.\n" "Minority participation in the United States and Canada" "Black rodeo star Bill Pickett on a handbill advertising the film ''The Bull-Dogger''\nMexican Americans have had a long history with both rodeo and ''charreada''. In spite of long association with southwestern culture, there has been significant assimilation and cross-acculturation\u00a0\u2014 Mexican Americans are so integrated into the southwestern cowboy culture that they are not visibly distinct.\n\nNative American and Hispanic cowboys compete in modern rodeos in small numbers. African Americans constitute a smaller minority of rodeo contestants, though many early rodeo champions, such as Nat Love, were African American. Bill Pickett and bronc rider Bill Stahl were both elected to the Cowboy Hall of Fame. During the 1940s and 1950s, African Americans created the Southwestern Colored Cowboys Association. Although the PRCA never formally excluded people of color, pre-1960s racism effectively kept many minority participants, particularly African Americans, out of white competitions. In the 1960s, bull rider Myrtis Dightman vied for national honors and qualified for the National Finals Rodeo. In the 1990s, the Black World Championship Rodeo was held in New York City and other locations across the United States.\n\nIn 1976, the first gay rodeo was held in Reno, Nevada as a charity fundraiser. Several regional gay rodeo organizations were formed in the following years, and, in 1985, the existing organizations formed the International Gay Rodeo Association as a national sanctioning body. The melding of homosexuality and straight cowboy culture in gay rodeo simultaneously embraces archetypal Cowboy Code traits and contemporary gay identity. Openly gay competitors stage their own rodeos because they are not welcomed in the straight circuit. \"We can ride with the best of them,\" one person stated, \"But they don't want us around.\"\n" "Latin America" "\n===Mexico===\n\n\n''El Paso de la Muerte'' (The Pass of Death), a charreada event.\nThe ''charreada'' is the national sport of Mexico. It is a display and contest of roping and riding with origins tracing to the cattle ranching life and culture of colonial Mexico. Over time, it became an event that included games, parades, foods, and contests involving humans, cattle, and horses. Following the Mexican Revolution of 1910, many rural Mexicans were displaced and took up residence in cities, where urban-based charros and others formed associations to establish and refine the charreada.\n\nDuring the \"Chicano Movement\" of the 1970s, Mexican Americans revitalized their heritage by establishing the event in the United States. The event historically enjoys greater prestige in Mexico, however, and due to animal cruelty concerns, some ''charreada'' events have been banned in the US.\n\nUnlike rodeos, most ''charreadas'' do not award money to the winners as ''charreada'' is considered an amateur sport, but trophies may be distributed. Until recently, the ''charreada'' was confined to men but a women's precision equestrian event called the ''escaramuza'' is now the tenth and final event in a ''charreada''. Unlike American rodeo, events are not timed, but judged and scored based on finesse and grace.\n\nColeo\n\n===Colombia and Venezuela===\nColeo is a traditional Venezuelan and Colombian sport, very similar to American rodeo, where a small group of llaneros (cowboys) on horseback pursue cattle at high speeds through a narrow pathway (called a manga de coleo) in order to drop or tumble them.\nColeos are usually presented as a side attraction to a larger event, such as a religious festival. They are very popular in Venezuela and in parts of Colombia, mostly in the plains (llanos).\nA coleo starts with the participants and a calf or bull (this depends on the age and stature of the competitors) locked behind a trap door. The trap door leads to a narrow earthen pathway about 100 metres long with high guard rails, open at the other end. When a judge gives a signal, the calf is set loose and starts running. A couple of seconds later, the riders are released and they race to grab the calf by its tail. The rider who accomplishes this first will increase speed, dragging the calf until it finally stumbles. The object is to accomplish this in the shortest time.\n\n===Brazil===\nBrazilian \"rodeios\" can be traced to the town of Barretos where the primary economic activities involved livestock and the transporting the livestock to other locations, where one of the ways the cowboys found to get some entertainment was riding the animals. In 1956 the first ever Festa do Pe\u00e3o de Boiadeiro was created and as the years went by this rodeo became the biggest in Brazil and in Latin America. Barretos is the most famous rodeo in Brazil. However, rodeos are very common in inner state towns in Brazil, especially in Rio Grande do Sul, Mato Grosso do Sul and S\u00e3o Paulo state. Bull riding has become a significant niche sport in the country in recent years; PBR now runs a national circuit in Brazil, and Brazilian riders are a major presence on the main PBR circuit in the United States.\n\n===Argentina===\nIn the twentieth century, rodeo's popularity increased in Argentina. Buenos Aires, Rosario, and other major cities hosted rodeos. In 1909, the Sociedad Sportiva Argentina (Argentina Sports Society) announced a rodeo competition in which the winners would eventually compete in the United States against rodeo performers from other countries.\n\n===Chile===\n\n\nSecond to soccer, rodeo is the most popular sport in Chile, and became the national sport of Chile on January 10, 1962 by decree N\u00ba269 of the National Council of Sports and the Comit\u00e9 Ol\u00edmpico de Chile.\n\nChilean rodeo traces to the 16th century, beginning with the gathering together lost or stray cattle in the Plaza de Armas de Santiago for branding and selection. Rodeo began to see regulation in the 17th century and talented riders received honors and awards.\n\nIn Chilean rodeo, a team of two mounted men (called a ''collera'') attempt to pin a calf against large cushions lining the arena (medialuna). Points are earned for proper technique. Chilean Horses are employed to the exclusion of others and riders wear traditional ''huaso'' garb as a requirement. The sport has become so popular that in 2004, more spectators attended rodeo events than professional football matches.\n\nChilean rodeo has experienced financial woes, lack of political support and poor promotion. Unlike other Chilean sports, rodeo does not receive any of the revenue from ''Chiledeportes'' because only sports that represent Chile overseas receive funds. The Chilean Rodeo Federation has criticized the lack of governmental funding and has pointed out that rodeo reaches a part of the population that does not have access to other Chilean sports.\n" "Australia" "Alan Wood on the great bucking mare, Curio. Photo taken shortly before Alan regained his seat and went on to make the required time.\n\nRodeos have long been a popular competitor and spectator sport in Australia, but were not run on an organized basis until the 1880s. The National Agricultural Society of Victoria ran one of the earliest recorded events in 1888, when a roughriding competition was held at their annual show. Travelling tent rodeo shows increased the popularity of roughriding throughout much of Australia. However, by 1930, the depression left only a few of these travelling shows on the road.\n\nBushmen's Carnivals, the Australian equivalent of American rodeos, originated in Northern New South Wales in the 1920s and were well established by the 1930s. Australian rodeo continued to grow following WWII, and by September 1978 riders from the USA, Canada, New Zealand and Australia competed in the World Rodeo Titles there for prize money totaling $60,000. In 1982, an Australian Bushmen's Carnival Association team competed in the North American Rodeo Commission's championships in Denver, Colorado, finishing sixth overall.\n\nIn August 1944 the Australian Bushmen's Carnival Association (ABCA) was formed by the Royal Agricultural Society of New South Wales, as a result of the increase in the number of bushmen's carnivals. The purpose of this formation was to standardize regulations and rules, but insufficient support was given and the association was terminated in 1947. The Australian Professional Rodeo Association (APRA) was also formed in 1944 and is the national governing body for professional rodeo competition. Also formed in 1944 was the Australian Rough-Riders Association (ARRA) in South Australia. On 28 March 1946 the Northern (N.S.W.) Bushmen's Carnival Association was founded at Maitland, New South Wales. These two associations are now the Australian Bushmen's Campdraft & Rodeo Association (ABCRA). The ABCRA is the largest rodeo and campdraft organization in Australia. In May 1992 the National Rodeo Council of Australia (NRCA) was formed to further the sport of rodeo and has represented ABCRA and several other associations.\n\nOriginal events included buckjumping (saddle broncs), bullock riding, campdrafting, bulldogging, wild-cow milking, wild bullock races, wild horse races and releasing the surcingle. Other common sporting events such as flag and bending races (similar to pole bending) were held for the competitors' horses.\n\nLater the term \"rodeo\" became more commonly used, with American saddles used and the events took on American naming patterns. The ABCRA now affiliates the sports of campdrafting, roughriding (saddle bronc and bareback riding, steer and bull riding) and timed rodeo events: barrel races (ladies and junior), rope and tie, steer undecorating (ladies), steer wrestling, junior calf riding, team roping and breakaway roping (ladies).\n\nThere are strict standards for the selection, care and treatment of rodeo livestock, arenas, plus equipment requirements and specifications.\n\nIn 1992 the National Rodeo Queen Quest was founded by the National Rodeo Council of Australia to promote and encourage young women into the sport of Rodeo.\n\nThe carnivals and rodeos typically take place during the spring and summer, and are usually arranged to avoid date clashes, so that competitors may take part in as many events as possible. The prize money is obtained from donations and entry fees, with the main prize money being for the open campdraft event.\n\nThe biggest rodeos are in Queensland. Some large events are also held in New South Wales, where Sydney has the rodeo during the Royal Agricultural Society show and Walcha holds a four-day campdrafting and rodeo competition annually. There also is a National Finals Rodeo.\n" "Animal treatment controversies" "\nProtests were first raised regarding rodeo animal cruelty in the 1870s, and, beginning in the 1930s, some states enacted laws curtailing rodeo activities and other events involving animals. In the 1950s, the then Rodeo Cowboys Association (RCA, later the PRCA) worked with the American Humane Association (AHA) to establish regulations protecting the welfare of rodeo animals that were acceptable to both organizations. The PRCA realized that public education regarding rodeo and the welfare of animals was needed to keep the sport alive.\n\nOver the years, conditions for animals in rodeo and many other sporting events improved. Today, the PRCA and other rodeo sanctioning organizations have stringent regulations to ensure rodeo animals' welfare. For example, these rules require, among other things, provisions for injured animals, a veterinarian's presence at all rodeos (a similar requirement exists for other equine events), padded flank straps, horn protection for steers, and spurs with dulled, free-spinning rowels. Rodeo competitors in general value and provide excellent care to the animals with which they work. Animals must also be protected with fleece-lined flank straps for bucking stock and horn wraps for roping steers.\n\nLaws governing rodeo vary widely. In the American west, some states incorporate the regulations of the PRCA into their statutes as a standard by which to evaluate if animal cruelty has occurred. On the other hand, some events and practices are restricted or banned in other states, including California, Rhode Island, and Ohio. St. Petersburg, Florida is the only locality in the United States with a complete ban on rodeo. Canadian Humane Societies are careful in criticizing Canadian rodeo as the event has become so indigenous to Western Canada that criticism may jeopardize support for the organization's other humane goals. The Calgary Humane Society itself is wary of criticizing the famous Calgary Stampede. Internationally rodeo itself is banned in the United Kingdom and the Netherlands, and other European nations have placed restrictions on certain practices.\n\nHowever, a number of humane and animal rights organizations have policy statements that oppose many rodeo practices and often the events themselves. Some also claim that regulations vary from vague to ineffective and are frequently violated.\n\nIn response to these concerns, a number of cities and states, mostly in the eastern half of the United States, have passed ordinances and laws governing rodeo. Pittsburgh, for example, specifically prohibits electric prods or shocking devices, flank or bucking straps, wire tie-downs, and sharpened or fixed spurs or rowels. Pittsburgh also requires humane officers be provided access to any and all areas where animals may go\u2014specifically pens, chutes, and injury pens. The state of Rhode Island has banned tie-down roping and certain other practices.Other locales have similar ordinances and laws.\n\n\n===Positions taken by animal welfare organizations===\nThere are three basic areas of concern to various groups. The first set of concerns surround relatively common rodeo practices, such as the use of bucking straps, also known as flank straps, the use of metal or electric cattle prods, and tail-twisting. The second set of concerns surround non-traditional rodeo events that operate outside the rules of sanctioning organizations. These are usually amateur events such as mutton busting, calf dressing, wild cow milking, calf riding, chuck wagon races, and other events designed primarily for publicity, half-time entertainment or crowd participation. Finally, some groups consider some or all rodeo events themselves to be cruel.\n\nGroups such as PETA, SHARK, and the Humane Society of the United States generally take a position of opposition to all rodeos and rodeo events. A more general position is taken by the ASPCA, only opposing rodeo events that \"involve cruel, painful, stressful and potentially harmful treatment of livestock, not only in performance but also in handling, transport and prodding to perform.\" The group singles out children's rodeo events such as goat tying, calf riding and sheep riding (\u201cmutton busting\u201d), \"which do not promote humane care and respect for animals.\"\n\nThe American Humane Association (AHA) does not appear to oppose rodeos per se, though they have a general position on events and contests involving animals, stating that \"when animals are involved in entertainment, they must be treated humanely at all times.\" The AHA also has strict requirements for the treatment of animals used for rodeo scenes in movies, starting with the rules of the PRCA and adding additional requirements consistent with the association's other policies.\n\nUnique among animal protection groups, the ASPCA specifically notes that practice sessions are often the location of more severe abuses than competitions. However, many state animal cruelty laws provide specific exemptions for \"training practices.\" The American Humane Association is the only organization addressing the legislative issue, advocating the strengthening of animal cruelty laws in general, with no exceptions for \"training practices.\"\n\n===Myths and actual modern practice===\nSome accusations of cruelty are based on misunderstanding. For example, it is a myth that a bucking horse is a wild, terrified animal. The modern bronc is not a truly feral horse. A significant number of bucking horses are riding horses that learned to buck off their riders. Many bucking horses today are specifically bred for use in rodeos. A proven bucking horse can be sold for $8000 to $10,000, making \"rough stock\" a valuable investment worth caring for and keeping in good health for many years. Likewise, bucking bulls are also selectively bred. Most are allowed to grow up in a natural, semi-wild condition on the open range, but also have to be trained in order to be managed from the ground, safely loaded into trailers, vaccinated and wormed, and be loaded in and out of bucking chutes. \n\nYoung bucking horses are initially introduced to work with cloth dummies attached to the saddle. Others are already well-trained on the ground. Some champion bucking horses got their start as spoiled riding horses that learned to quickly and effectively unseat riders. Due to the rigors of travel and the short bursts of high intensity work required, most horses in a bucking string are at least 6 or 7 years old before they are used extensively, and are expected to be sound performers for many years. Awards are given to the owners of the best bucking horses, who are respected as equine athletes and perform for many years. Many are retired to pasture at the end of their careers. Many bucking horses understand their job well and reduce or stop their bucking, even while still wearing a flank strap, as soon as they either unseat the rider or hear the buzzer. Likewise, some bulls appear to understand that their \"job\" is to throw the rider; they learned not to buck when in the chute and buck far less once the rider is thrown.\n\n===Industry position===\nModern rodeos in the United States are closely regulated and have responded to accusations of animal cruelty by instituting a number of rules to guide how rodeo animals are to be managed. In 1994, a survey of 28 sanctioned rodeos was conducted by on-site independent veterinarians. Reviewing 33,991 animal runs, the injury rate was documented at 16 animals or 0.047 percent, less than five-hundredths of one percent or one in 2000 animals. A study of rodeo animals in Australia found a similar injury rate. Basic injuries occurred at a rate of 0.072 percent, or one in 1405, with injuries requiring veterinary attention at 0.036 percent, or one injury in every 2810 times the animal was used, and transport, yarding and competition were all included in the study. A later PRCA survey of 60,971 animal performances at 198 rodeo performances and 73 sections of \"slack\" indicated 27 animals were injured, again approximately five-hundredths of 1\npercent\u20140.0004.\n\nHowever, accusations of cruelty in the USA persist. The PRCA acknowledges that they only sanction about 30 percent of all rodeos, while another 50 percent are sanctioned by other organizations and 20 percent are completely unsanctioned. The PRCA opposes the general concept of animal rights, but supports animal welfare\u2014the view that humans have the right to use animals but are responsible for their humane treatment and care. The PRCA takes the position that the organization does this and even goes beyond expectation. Not all rodeos are governed by the PRCA however, though organizations governing collegiate and high school rodeos base their rules on those of the PRCA. Nonetheless, certain amateur and \"backyard\" rodeos are unregulated, and do not follow PRCA rules.\n\nAdvocates for rodeo state that sick, injured, hungry, or severely abused animals cannot perform well in a given event. Rough stock must be healthy and well fed to give the cowboy a powerful and challenging ride sufficient to obtain a high score. The bucking strap has to be an incentive to an animal that already wants to buck off a rider, not a prod, or the animal will either flee the pain, not buck, quickly sour and refuse to work, regardless of any pain that might be inflicted. Steers and roping calves will not break from the chute fast enough for ropers to achieve a fast time if they are lame or weak, and they are not generally used for more than a single season.\n\nHealth regulations mandate vaccinations and blood testing of animals crossing state lines, so rodeo stock receives routine care. An injured animal will not buck well and hence a cowboy cannot obtain a high score for his ride, so sick or injured animals are not run through the chutes, but instead are given appropriate veterinary care so they can be returned to their usual level of strength and power. PRCA regulations require veterinarians to be available at all rodeos to treat both bucking stock and other animals as needed.\n\nThe PRCA emphasizes that they first promulgated rules for proper and humane treatment of livestock in 1947, a full 7 years before the founding of the Humane Society of the United States. Participants are fined for animal abuse, and a study of 21 PRCA rodeos found only 15 animals injured in 26,584 performances, a 0.06 percent rate.\n\nOn the other hand, there are occasions of rule violations and animal mistreatment at sanctioned rodeos. However, the major national rodeos are also under the most intense scrutiny and are the most likely to rigorously follow the rules. Rodeos not subject to the rules of the PRCA or other organizations, and rodeos outside of the United States and Canada, where animal cruelty laws are weaker, are more likely to be the sites of abusive practices. However, animal rights groups are less likely to target these cases.\n" "In mainstream culture" "The largest state-of-the-art rodeos are professional, commercial athletic contests held in climate-controlled stadiums, with broadcasting by CBS Sports Network and other television networks.\n\nOutside of the rodeo world itself, there is disagreement about exactly what rodeo \"is.\" Professional competitors, for example, view rodeo as a sport and call themselves professional athletes while also using the title of cowboy. Fans view rodeo as a spectator sport with animals, having aspects of pageantry and theater unlike other professional sport. Non-westerners view the spectacle as a quaint but exciting remnant of the Wild West while animal activists view rodeo as a cruel Roman circus spectacle, or an Americanized bullfight.\n\nAnthropologists studying the sport of rodeo and the culture surrounding it have commented that it is \"a blend of both performance and contest\", and that rodeo is far more expressive in blending both these aspects than attempting to stand alone on one or the other. Rodeo's performance level permits pageantry and ritual which serve to \"revitalize the spirit of the Old West\" while its contest level poses a man-animal opposition that articulates the transformation of nature and \"dramatizes and perpetuates the conflict between the wild and the tame.\" \"On its deepest level, rodeo is essentially a ritual addressing itself to the dilemma of man's place in nature.\"\n\nRodeo is a popular topic in country-western music, such as the 1991 Garth Brooks hit single \"Rodeo\", and has also been featured in numerous movies, television programs and in literature. ''Rodeo'' is a ballet score written by Aaron Copland in 1942, and choreographer Agnes de Mille's ballet, ''Rodeo'' was commissioned by the Ballet Russe de Monte Carlo in 1942 with the Copeland score. The late country singer Chris Ledoux competed in bareback riding and wrote many of his songs based on his experiences.\n" "Rodeos worldwide" "\nThere are thousands of rodeos held worldwide each year.\n" "Rodeo associations" "*Australian Professional Rodeo Association\n*All Indian Rodeo Cowboys Association\n*Canadian Cowboys Association\n*Canadian Professional Rodeo Association\n*Championship Bull Riding\n*Cowboy's Professional Rodeo Association\n*European Rodeo Cowboy Association\n*Federaci\u00f3n Mexicana de Rodeo\n*International Professional Rodeo Association\n*International Gay Rodeo Association (IGRA)\n*National High School Rodeo Association\n*National Intercollegiate Rodeo Association\n*National Senior Pro Rodeo Association (NSPRA)\n* New Zealand Rodeo Cowboys Association (NZRCA)\n*Professional Rodeo Cowboys Association (PRCA)\n* Professional Roughstock Series\n*Professional Bull Riders (PBR)\n* United States Team Roping Championships\n* Southern Extreme Bull Riding Association\n*Women's Professional Rodeo Association\n*Working Ranch Cowboys Association\n" "Related sports" "*Bullfighting\n*Campdrafting\n*Charreada\n*Chilean rodeo\n*Cutting (sport)\n*O-Mok-See ''or'' Gymkhana\n*Ranch sorting\n*Reining\n*Team penning\n" "See also" "*Buckle bunny\n*Charreada\n*Chilean rodeo\n*Australian rodeo\n*Cowboy\n*Cowboy church\n*Cowboy hat\n*Equestrianism\n*Indian rodeo\n*Jineteada gaucha\n*Ranch\n*Rodeo bareback rigging\n*Rodeo clown\n*Western riding\n" "References" "\n" "Sources" "\n*\n*\n*\n*\n*\n*\n*\n*\n*\n*\n*\n*\n*\n*\n*\n*\n*\n*\n*\n*\n*\n\n" "External links" "\n* National Cowboy and Western Heritage Museum - Oklahoma City, Oklahoma\n* Professional Bull Riders (PBR) - 'The Toughest Sport on Earth!'\n* Autry National Center - online rodeo photographs from the Gene Autry Collection\n* National Cowgirl Museum & Hall of Fame - Fort Worth, Texas\n* Professional Rodeo Cowboys Association - Colorado Springs, Colorado\n* Texas Rodeo Cowboy Hall of Fame - Walnut Springs, Texas\n* Texas Rodeo Hall of Fame - Pecos, Texas\n\n\n\n\n\n"
"Roland Alphonso" "Introduction" "\n\n\n'''Roland Alphonso''' OD or '''Rolando Alphonso''' \"The Chief Musician\" (12 January 1931 \u2013 20 November 1998) was a Jamaican tenor saxophonist, and one of the founding members of the Skatalites.\n" "Biography" "Born in Havana, Cuba, Alphonso came to Jamaica at the age of two with his Jamaican mother, and started to learn saxophone at the Stony Hill Industrial School.\n\nIn 1948 he left school to join Eric Deans' orchestra and soon passed through other bands in the hotel circuit and first recorded as a member of Stanley Motta's group in 1952, going on to record frequently as a session musician.\nIn 1956 he first recorded for Clement \"Coxsone\" Dodd, although these early recordings were lost before they were mastered. By 1958, he was a part of the stage-act of comedians Bim and Bam, who toured Jamaica sponsored by \"McAulay liquor\". Alphonso's dynamic version of Louis Prima's \"Robin Hood\" was one of highlights of the act. Following this, Clement Dodd and Duke Reid made him a regular member of their in-house band of session musicians. In 1959 he joined the band of Cluett Johnson named Clue J & His Blues Blasters and backed many of Dodd's recording sessions in a typical Jamaican R&B style. He also acted as arranger at many of Dodd's recording sessions.\n\nBy 1960, he was recording for many other producers such as Duke Reid, Lloyd \"The Matador\" Daley and King Edwards, as well as continuing to work for Dodd, contributing alto, tenor, and baritone saxophones, and flute to recordings. During this period he played in many different bands, such as The Alley Cats, The City Slickers, and Aubrey Adams & The Dew Droppers. In 1963, after few months spent in Nassau, Bahamas, he took part in the creation of The Studio One Orchestra, the first session band at Dodd's newly opened recording studio. This band soon adopted the name of The Skatalites.\n\nWhen the Skatalites disbanded by August 1965, Alphonso formed the Soul Brothers (with Johnny \"Dizzy\" Moore, and Jackie Mittoo) to become The Soul Vendors in 1967. In the late 1960s and early 1970s, Alphonso led the Ruinaires, the resident band at Ruins restaurant/nightclub, this coming to an end when he suffered a stroke at the age of 41. He recovered quickly from this setback, and relocated to the United States in late 1972, soon returning to performing and recording. He released the first album under his name in 1973 on the Studio One record label.\n\nDuring the 1970s, \u203280s, and \u203290s, he kept on playing on numerous records coming out from Jamaican studios, especially for Bunny Lee, and he toured with many bands.

"Royal Doulton" "Introduction" "\n\n\n'''Royal Doulton''' was an English company producing tableware and collectables, dating from 1815. Operating originally in London, its reputation grew in The Potteries, where it was a latecomer compared to Royal Crown Derby, Royal Worcester, Wedgwood, Spode and Mintons. Its products include dinnerware, giftware, cookware, porcelain, glassware, collectables, jewellery, linens, curtains and lighting.\n\nThree of its brands were Royal Doulton, Royal Albert and Mintons. These brands are now owned by WWRD Holdings Ltd (Waterford Crystal, Wedgwood, Royal Doulton), based in Barlaston near Stoke-on-Trent. On 2 July 2015 the acquisition of WWRD by the Fiskars Corporation was completed.\n" "History" "Vase, 1874, Doulton Ceramic Factory V&A Museum no. 352-1874. decorated by Hannah Barlow \nThe Royal Doulton company began as a partnership between John Doulton, Martha Jones, and John Watts, with a factory at Vauxhall Walk, Lambeth, London trading as Jones, Watts & Doulton in 1815. After Martha Jones left the partnership in 1820, the trade name was changed to Doulton & Watts. The business specialised in making stoneware articles, including decorative bottles and salt glaze sewer pipes. The company took the name Doulton & Co. in 1853 after the retirement of John Watts.\n\nBy 1871, Henry Doulton, John's son, launched a studio at the Lambeth pottery, and offered work to designers and artists from the nearby Lambeth School of Art. The first to be engaged was George Tinworth followed by artists such as the Barlow family (Florence, Hannah, and Arthur), Frank Butler, Mark Marshall and Eliza Simmance. In 1882, Doulton purchased the small factory of Pinder, Bourne & Co, at Nile Street in Burslem, Staffordshire, which placed Doulton in the region known as The Potteries.\n\nSt. Alban's Anglican Church in Copenhagen, Denmark, donated and manufactured by Doulton \nWhen the Anglican St. Alban's Church was built in Copenhagen, Denmark, in 1887 with Alexandra, Princess of Wales as one of the driving forces, Doulton donated and manufactured an altarpiece, a pulpit and a font. They were executed in terra cotta with glazed details to the design of Tinworth.\n\nBy this time Doulton was popular for stoneware and ceramics, under the artistic direction of John Slater, who worked with figurines, vases, character jugs, and decorative pieces designed by the prolific Leslie Harradine. Doulton products came to the attention of the Royal family. In 1901 King Edward VII sold the Burslem factory the Royal Warrant, allowing the business to adopt new markings and a new name, Royal Doulton. The company added products during the first half of the 20th century while manufacturing fashionable and high-quality bone china.\n\nThe headquarters building and factory of the Royal Doulton ceramics firm were in Lambeth, on the south bank of the Thames. This Art Deco building was designed by T.P.Bennett. In 1939 Gilbert Bayes created the friezes that showed the history of pottery through the ages. The Lambeth factory closed in 1956 due to clean air regulations preventing urban production of salt glaze. Following closure, work was transferred to The Potteries. The factory building was demolished in 1978 and the friezes transferred to the Victoria & Albert Museum. The office building in Black Prince Road survives, complete with a frieze of potters and Sir Henry Doulton over the original main entrance, executed by Tinworth.Backside of a Frost Pine plate of Royal Doulton with the seal\n\nIn 1971, S. Pearson & Son Ltd, a subsidiary of the Pearson industrial conglomerate acquired Doulton & Co. Pearson & Son owned Allied English Potteries and merged operations into Doulton & Co. All brands from Allied English Potteries and Doulton & Co. Ltd. including Royal Doulton, Minton, Beswick, Dunn Bennett, Booths, Colclough, Royal Albert, Royal Crown Derby, Paragon, Ridgway, Queen Anne, Royal Adderley and Royal Adderley Floral were moved under the umbrella of Royal Doulton Tableware LTD. Royal Doulton Tableware Ltd was a subsidiary of Doulton & Co. Ltd, itself a subsidiary of the Pearson Group Doulton & Co. became Royal Doulton plc in 1993. Waterford Wedgwood completed a takeover of Royal Doulton in 2005, acquiring all assets and brands.\n\nOn 30 September 2005, the Nile Street factory closed. Royal Doulton Ltd., along with other Waterford Wedgwood companies, went into administration on 5 January 2009. Royal Doulton is now part of WWRD Holdings Ltd. Some items are now made in the parent company, WWRD Holdings Ltd in Barlaston, south of the Potteries Conurbation. Further production is carried out in Indonesia On 11 May 2015, in a deal expected to close July 2015, the Fiskars Corporation, a Finnish maker of home products, agreed to buy 100% of the holdings of WWRD. On 2 July 2015 the acquisition of WWRD by Fiskars Corporation was completed including brands Waterford, Wedgwood, Royal Doulton, Royal Albert and Roga\u0161ka. The acquisition was approved by the US antitrust authorities.\n" " Cultural references " "* In the comedy television series ''Keeping Up Appearances'' her Royal Doulton china was frequently mentioned with great pride by the main character ''Hyacinth Bucket''.\n" "Notable designers" "* Leslie Harradine\n* Agnete Hoy\n* Charles Noke\n" "Gallery" "\n" "See also" "* Royal Doulton Bunnykins\n* List of Royal Doulton figurines\n* List of Bunnykins figurines\n" "Notes and references" "\n" "External links" "\n* Official Royal Doulton website\n* Collecting Doulton, The independent magazine for collectors of Royal Doulton\n* Examples in the collection of the Museum of New Zealand Te Papa Tongarewa\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n"
"Saucy Jack and the Space Vixens" "Introduction" "\n\n'''''Saucy Jack and the Space Vixens''''' is a cult science fiction musical reminiscent of ''The Rocky Horror Show''. The 2006 West End run starred Faye Tozer and was choreographed by Bruno Tonioli.

Step in the Space Vixens in their role as investigators and upholders of the oath.\nAs well as Rocky Horror there are clearly influences of Barbarella as the Vixens' interrogation device the Vibratron appears to be similar to the Orgasmatron of that movie and the Vixens' characters more than a little like Jane Fonda's character in that movie.\nMusically the influences are predominantly Disco with a catchy original score.\n" "Characters" "* 'Saucy' Jack De 'Ath - proprietor of Saucy Jack's Cabaret Bar\n* Honey Tipps/Jubilee Climax - Leader of the Vixens\n*Bunny Lingus - Space Vixen\n*Anna Labia - Space Vixen\n* Booby Shevalle - Cocktail waitress at Saucy Jack's\n* Shirley Tristar/Chesty Prospects - Intergalactic smuggler\n* Sammy Sax - House saxophonist\n* Dr Wilhelm von Whackoff - Psychoanalyst\n* Mitch Maypole - Barman at Saucy Jack's.\n" "History" "In 1995 a group of four former students of the University of Kent, Johanna Allitt, Simon Curtis, Mike Fidler and Charlotte Mann, set out to stage a production at the Edinburgh Fringe festival. Their desired production Leonard Bernstein's \"Candide\" was already going to be playing and so instead they wrote their own piece.\n\nThe show was made available for amateur licence in 2004 through Samuel French Ltd., and continues to be played by amateur groups mainly in the UK and USA.\n" " References " "\n\nBack at the Edinburgh Fringe 2010, being performed for 26 nights at original venue C Too by The Unlucky Theatre Company a group of talented teenagers from North London.\n\nIn September 2011 the YOUtheatre Partnership production of ''Saucy Jack and the Space Vixens'' sold out an entire week's run at the Epsom Playhouse.\n\nThe most recent production of ''Saucy Jack and the Space Vixens'' was in 2016 at the King's Head Theatre directed by Michael Fidler.

"Scruffy (1980 film)" "Introduction" "\n\n\"'''Scruffy'''\" is a 1980 ''ABC Weekend Special'' three-part animated episode produced by Ruby-Spears Productions and based on the 1978 children's book ''Scruffy: The Tuesday Dog'' written by Jack Stoneley. It originally aired on ABC on October 4, 11, and 18, 1980 and was also the first animated television special to be shown in three parts on consecutive Saturday mornings.\n" "Synopsis" "\n===Part 1===\nScruffy (voiced by Nancy McKeon) is a puppy with beautiful eyes, a loving heart and an eager intelligence, born in a deserted house she shares with her mother, Duchess (voiced by June Foray). When a fire destroys their home and nearly destroys them, the dogs are briefly adopted by their kindly rescuers who cannot bear to send them to the animal shelter and a possible untimely death. Soon, however, Duchess insists that she and Scruffy set off to find her original owners. But tragedy strikes when two trigger-happy farmers mistake the dogs for sheep killers. They shoot Duchess, and Scruffy is left on her own in the countryside...\n\n===Part 2===\nThe orphaned pup, frightened and freezing, returns alone to the big city and finds an affectionate new master, a ragged but regal Shakespearean street performer named Joe Tibbles (voiced by Hans Conried). Scruffy successfully howls her way into his act and cleverly learns every trick the old man can teach. Unfortunately, their happiness is only fleeting \u2013 Mr. Tibbles collapses having a heart attack, and Scruffy, while chasing an ambulance, tumbles into a swirling river...\n\n===Part 3===\nButch, a big tough dog (voiced by Michael Bell) rescues the drowning Scruffy and takes her to join his motley family of strays; mistreated by humans, these dogs have set up a canine commune in an abandoned station wagon. Their names are Randy, Collie, Sam and Solo.

"Seagull Screaming Kiss Her Kiss Her" "Introduction" "\n\n\n'''Seagull Screaming Kiss Her Kiss Her''' was a Japanese band formed by Aiha Higurashi in 1992. Their musical style contained elements of indie rock, experimental rock and, to a lesser extent, Shibuya-kei.\n" "History" "Seagull Screaming Kiss Her Kiss Her was formed in 1992 by Aiha Higurashi. Beginning as a two-girl band in New York City with her friend Sachiko Ito, it wasn't until after they had played a few shows that the band got its name, which was lifted from a track by the same name on British new wave pioneer XTC's The Big Express. Aiha returned to Tokyo solo in 1994 where she enlisted bassist and vocalist Nao Koyama and drummer Takaharu Karashima (a.k.a.

"Sheep" "Introduction" "\n\n\nThe '''sheep''' (''Ovis aries'') is a quadrupedal, ruminant mammal typically kept as livestock. Like all ruminants, sheep are members of the order Artiodactyla, the even-toed ungulates. Although the name \"sheep\" applies to many species in the genus ''Ovis'', in everyday usage it almost always refers to ''Ovis aries''. Numbering a little over one billion, domestic sheep are also the most numerous species of sheep. An adult female sheep is referred to as a ''ewe'' (), an intact male as a ''ram'' or occasionally a ''tup'', a castrated male as a ''wether'', and a younger sheep as a ''lamb''.\n\nSheep are most likely descended from the wild mouflon of Europe and Asia. One of the earliest animals to be domesticated for agricultural purposes, sheep are raised for fleece, meat (lamb, hogget or mutton) and milk. A sheep's wool is the most widely used animal fiber, and is usually harvested by shearing. Ovine meat is called lamb when from younger animals and mutton when from older ones. Sheep continue to be important for wool and meat today, and are also occasionally raised for pelts, as dairy animals, or as model organisms for science.\n\nSheep husbandry is practised throughout the majority of the inhabited world, and has been fundamental to many civilizations. In the modern era, Australia, New Zealand, the southern and central South American nations, and the British Isles are most closely associated with sheep production.\n\nSheepraising has a large lexicon of unique terms which vary considerably by region and dialect. Use of the word ''sheep'' began in Middle English as a derivation of the Old English word ''sc\u0113ap''; it is both the singular and plural name for the animal. A group of sheep is called a flock, herd or mob. Many other specific terms for the various life stages of sheep exist, generally related to lambing, shearing, and age.\n\nBeing a key animal in the history of farming, sheep have a deeply entrenched place in human culture, and find representation in much modern language and symbology. As livestock, sheep are most often associated with pastoral, Arcadian imagery. Sheep figure in many mythologies\u2014such as the Golden Fleece\u2014and major religions, especially the Abrahamic traditions. In both ancient and modern religious ritual, sheep are used as sacrificial animals.\n\n\n" "Characteristics" "\nDomestic sheep are relatively small ruminants, usually with a crimped hair called wool and often with horns forming a lateral spiral. Domestic sheep differ from their wild relatives and ancestors in several respects, having become uniquely neotenic as a result of selective breeding by humans. A few primitive breeds of sheep retain some of the characteristics of their wild cousins, such as short tails. Depending on breed, domestic sheep may have no horns at all (i.e. polled), or horns in both sexes, or in males only. Most horned breeds have a single pair, but a few breeds may have several.\n\nAnother trait unique to domestic sheep as compared to wild ovines is their wide variation in color. Wild sheep are largely variations of brown hues, and variation within species is extremely limited. Colors of domestic sheep range from pure white to dark chocolate brown, and even spotted or piebald. Selection for easily dyeable white fleeces began early in sheep domestication, and as white wool is a dominant trait it spread quickly. However, colored sheep do appear in many modern breeds, and may even appear as a recessive trait in white flocks. While white wool is desirable for large commercial markets, there is a niche market for colored fleeces, mostly for handspinning. The nature of the fleece varies widely among the breeds, from dense and highly crimped, to long and hairlike. There is variation of wool type and quality even among members of the same flock, so wool classing is a step in the commercial processing of the fibre.Suffolks are a medium wool, black-faced breed of meat sheep that make up 60% of the sheep population in the U.S.Depending on breed, sheep show a range of heights and weights. Their rate of growth and mature weight is a heritable trait that is often selected for in breeding. Ewes typically weigh between , and rams between . When all deciduous teeth have erupted, the sheep has 20 teeth. Mature sheep have 32 teeth. As with other ruminants, the front teeth in the lower jaw bite against a hard, toothless pad in the upper jaw. These are used to pick off vegetation, then the rear teeth grind it before it is swallowed. There are eight lower front teeth in ruminants, but there is some disagreement as to whether these are eight incisors, or six incisors and two incisor-shaped canines. This means that the dental formula for sheep is either or There is a large diastema between the incisors and the molars.\n\nIn the first few years of life one can calculate the age of sheep from their front teeth, as a pair of milk teeth is replaced by larger adult teeth each year, the full set of eight adult front teeth being complete at about four years of age. The front teeth are then gradually lost as sheep age, making it harder for them to feed and hindering the health and productivity of the animal. For this reason, domestic sheep on normal pasture begin to slowly decline from four years on, and the life expectancy of a sheep is 10 to 12 years, though some sheep may live as long as 20 years. SkullSheep have good hearing, and are sensitive to noise when being handled. Sheep have horizontal slit-shaped pupils, with excellent peripheral vision; with visual fields of about 270\u00b0 to 320\u00b0, sheep can see behind themselves without turning their heads. Many breeds have only short hair on the face, and some have facial wool (if any) confined to the poll and or the area of the mandibular angle; the wide angles of peripheral vision apply to these breeds. A few breeds tend to have considerable wool on the face; for some individuals of these breeds, peripheral vision may be greatly reduced by \"wool blindness\", unless recently shorn about the face. Sheep have poor depth perception; shadows and dips in the ground may cause sheep to baulk. In general, sheep have a tendency to move out of the dark and into well-lit areas, and prefer to move uphill when disturbed. Sheep also have an excellent sense of smell, and, like all species of their genus, have scent glands just in front of the eyes, and interdigitally on the feet. The purpose of these glands is uncertain, but those on the face may be used in breeding behaviors. The foot glands might also be related to reproduction, but alternative reasons, such as secretion of a waste product or a scent marker to help lost sheep find their flock, have also been proposed.\n\n=== Comparison with goats ===\nSheep and goats are closely related: both are in the subfamily Caprinae. However, they are separate species, so hybrids rarely occur, and are always infertile. A hybrid of a ewe and a buck (a male goat) is called a sheep-goat hybrid (only a single such animal has been confirmed), and is not to be confused with the sheep-goat chimera, though both are known as ''geep''. Visual differences between sheep and goats include the beard of goats and divided upper lip of sheep. Sheep tails also hang down, even when short or docked, while the short tails of goats are held upwards. Also, sheep breeds are often naturally polled (either in both sexes or just in the female), while naturally polled goats are rare (though many are polled artificially). Males of the two species differ in that buck goats acquire a unique and strong odor during the rut, whereas rams do not.\n\n===Breeds===\nSheep being judged for adherence to their breed standard, and being held by the most common method of restraint\n\nThe domestic sheep is a multi-purpose animal, and the more than 200 breeds now in existence were created to serve these diverse purposes. Some sources give a count of a thousand or more breeds, but these numbers cannot be verified, according to some sources. However, several hundred breeds of sheep have been identified by the FAO (Food and Agriculture Organization of the UN), with the estimated number varying somewhat from time to time: e.g. 863 breeds as of 1993, 1314 breeds as of 1995 and 1229 breeds as of 2006. (These numbers exclude extinct breeds, which are also tallied by the FAO.) For the purpose of such tallies, the FAO definition of a breed is \"either a subspecific group of domestic livestock with definable and identifiable external characteristics that enable it to be separated by visual appraisal from other similarly defined groups within the same species or a group for which geographical and/or cultural separation from phenotypically similar groups has led to acceptance of its separate identity.\" Almost all sheep are classified as being best suited to furnishing a certain product: wool, meat, milk, hides, or a combination in a dual-purpose breed. Other features used when classifying sheep include face color (generally white or black), tail length, presence or lack of horns, and the topography for which the breed has been developed. This last point is especially stressed in the UK, where breeds are described as either upland (hill or mountain) or lowland breeds. A sheep may also be of a fat-tailed type, which is a dual-purpose sheep common in Africa and Asia with larger deposits of fat within and around its tail.\n\nThe Barbados Blackbelly is a hair sheep breed of Caribbean origin.\nBreeds are often categorized by the type of their wool. Fine wool breeds are those that have wool of great crimp and density, which are preferred for textiles. Most of these were derived from Merino sheep, and the breed continues to dominate the world sheep industry. Downs breeds have wool between the extremes, and are typically fast-growing meat and ram breeds with dark faces. Some major medium wool breeds, such as the Corriedale, are dual-purpose crosses of long and fine-wooled breeds and were created for high-production commercial flocks. Long wool breeds are the largest of sheep, with long wool and a slow rate of growth. Long wool sheep are most valued for crossbreeding to improve the attributes of other sheep types. For example: the American Columbia breed was developed by crossing Lincoln rams (a long wool breed) with fine-wooled Rambouillet ewes.\n\nCoarse or carpet wool sheep are those with a medium to long length wool of characteristic coarseness. Breeds traditionally used for carpet wool show great variability, but the chief requirement is a wool that will not break down under heavy use (as would that of the finer breeds). As the demand for carpet-quality wool declines, some breeders of this type of sheep are attempting to use a few of these traditional breeds for alternative purposes. Others have always been primarily meat-class sheep.\n\nA minor class of sheep are the dairy breeds. Dual-purpose breeds that may primarily be meat or wool sheep are often used secondarily as milking animals, but there are a few breeds that are predominantly used for milking. These sheep produce a higher quantity of milk and have slightly longer lactation curves. In the quality of their milk, the fat and protein content percentages of dairy sheep vary from non-dairy breeds, but lactose content does not.\nThe Li\u010dka pramenka is a sheep breed of Croatian origin\n\nA last group of sheep breeds is that of fur or '''hair sheep''', which do not grow wool at all. Hair sheep are similar to the early domesticated sheep kept before woolly breeds were developed, and are raised for meat and pelts. Some modern breeds of hair sheep, such as the Dorper, result from crosses between wool and hair breeds. For meat and hide producers, hair sheep are cheaper to keep, as they do not need shearing. Hair sheep are also more resistant to parasites and hot weather.\n\nWith the modern rise of corporate agribusiness and the decline of localized family farms, many breeds of sheep are in danger of extinction. The Rare Breeds Survival Trust of the UK lists 22 native breeds as having only 3,000 registered animals (each), and The Livestock Conservancy lists 14 as either \"critical\" or \"threatened\". Preferences for breeds with uniform characteristics and fast growth have pushed heritage (or heirloom) breeds to the margins of the sheep industry. Those that remain are maintained through the efforts of conservation organizations, breed registries, and individual farmers dedicated to their preservation.\n" "Diet" "Sheep are exclusively herbivorous mammals. Most breeds prefer to graze on grass and other short roughage, avoiding the taller woody parts of plants that goats readily consume. Both sheep and goats use their lips and tongues to select parts of the plant that are easier to digest or higher in nutrition. Sheep, however, graze well in monoculture pastures where most goats fare poorly. \nRuminant system of a sheep\nLike all ruminants, sheep have a complex digestive system composed of four chambers, allowing them to break down cellulose from stems, leaves, and seed hulls into simpler carbohydrates. When sheep graze, vegetation is chewed into a mass called a bolus, which is then passed into the rumen, via the reticulum. The rumen is a 19- to 38-liter (5 to 10 gal) organ in which feed is fermented. The fermenting organisms include bacteria, fungi, and protozoa. (Other important rumen organisms include some archaea, which produce methane from carbon dioxide.) The bolus is periodically regurgitated back to the mouth as cud for additional chewing and salivation. After fermentation in the rumen, feed passes into the reticulum and the omasum; special feeds such as grains may bypass the rumen altogether. After the first three chambers, food moves into the abomasum for final digestion before processing by the intestines. The abomasum is the only one of the four chambers analogous to the human stomach, and is sometimes called the \"true stomach\".\n\nOther than forage, the other staple feed for sheep is hay, often during the winter months. The ability to thrive solely on pasture (even without hay) varies with breed, but all sheep can survive on this diet. Also included in some sheep's diets are minerals, either in a trace mix or in licks. Feed provided to sheep must be specially formulated, as most cattle, poultry, pig, and even some goat feeds contain levels of copper that are lethal to sheep. The same danger applies to mineral supplements such as salt licks.\n\n===Grazing behavior===\nSheep follow a diurnal pattern of activity, feeding from dawn to dusk, stopping sporadically to rest and chew their cud. Ideal pasture for sheep is not lawnlike grass, but an array of grasses, legumes and forbs. Types of land where sheep are raised vary widely, from pastures that are seeded and improved intentionally to rough, native lands. Common plants toxic to sheep are present in most of the world, and include (but are not limited to) cherry, some oaks and acorns, tomato, yew, rhubarb, potato, and rhododendron.\n\nSheep grazing on public land\n\n====Effects on pasture====\nSheep are largely grazing herbivores, unlike browsing animals such as goats and deer that prefer taller foliage. With a much narrower face, sheep crop plants very close to the ground and can overgraze a pasture much faster than cattle. For this reason, many shepherds use managed intensive rotational grazing, where a flock is rotated through multiple pastures, giving plants time to recover. Paradoxically, sheep can both cause and solve the spread of invasive plant species. By disturbing the natural state of pasture, sheep and other livestock can pave the way for invasive plants. However, sheep also prefer to eat invasives such as cheatgrass, leafy spurge, kudzu and spotted knapweed over native species such as sagebrush, making grazing sheep effective for conservation grazing. Research conducted in Imperial County, California compared lamb grazing with herbicides for weed control in seedling alfalfa fields. Three trials demonstrated that grazing lambs were just as effective as herbicides in controlling winter weeds. Entomologists also compared grazing lambs to insecticides for insect control in winter alfalfa. In this trial, lambs provided insect control as effectively as insecticides.\n" "Behavior" "Sheep showing flocking behavior during a sheepdog trial\n\n===Flock behavior===\nSheep are flock animals and strongly gregarious; much sheep behavior can be understood on the basis of these tendencies. The dominance hierarchy of sheep and their natural inclination to follow a leader to new pastures were the pivotal factors in sheep being one of the first domesticated livestock species. Furthermore, in contrast to the red deer and gazelle (two other ungulates of primary importance to meat production in prehistoric times), sheep do not defend territories although they do form home ranges. All sheep have a tendency to congregate close to other members of a flock, although this behavior varies with breed, and sheep can become stressed when separated from their flock members. During flocking, sheep have a strong tendency to follow and a leader may simply be the first individual to move. Relationships in flocks tend to be closest among related sheep: in mixed-breed flocks, subgroups of the same breed tend to form, and a ewe and her direct descendants often move as a unit within large flocks. Sheep can become hefted to one particular local pasture (heft) so they do not roam freely in unfenced landscapes. Lambs learn the heft from ewes and if whole flocks are culled it must be retaught to the replacement animals.\n\nFlock behaviour in sheep is generally only exhibited in groups of four or more sheep; fewer sheep may not react as expected when alone or with few other sheep. Being a prey species, the primary defense mechanism of sheep is to flee from danger when their flight zone is entered. Cornered sheep may charge and butt, or threaten by hoof stamping and adopting an aggressive posture. This is particularly true for ewes with newborn lambs.\n\nIn regions where sheep have no natural predators, none of the native breeds of sheep exhibit a strong flocking behavior.\n\n====Herding====\nEscaped sheep being led back to pasture with the enticement of food. This method of moving sheep works best with smaller flocks.\nFarmers exploit flocking behavior to keep sheep together on unfenced pastures such as hill farming, and to move them more easily. For this purpose shepherds may use herding dogs in this effort, with a highly bred herding ability. Sheep are food-oriented, and association of humans with regular feeding often results in sheep soliciting people for food. Those who are moving sheep may exploit this behavior by leading sheep with buckets of feed.\n\n===Dominance hierarchy===\nSheep establish a dominance hierarchy through fighting, threats and competitiveness. Dominant animals are inclined to be more aggressive with other sheep, and usually feed first at troughs. Primarily among rams, horn size is a factor in the flock hierarchy. Rams with different size horns may be less inclined to fight to establish the dominance order, while rams with similarly sized horns are more so. Merinos have an almost linear hierarchy whereas there is a less rigid structure in Border Leicesters when a competitive feeding situation arises.\n\nIn sheep, position in a moving flock is highly correlated with social dominance, but there is no definitive study to show consistent voluntary leadership by an individual sheep.\n\n===Intelligence and learning ability===\nSheep are frequently thought of as unintelligent animals. Their flocking behavior and quickness to flee and panic can make shepherding a difficult endeavor for the uninitiated. Despite these perceptions, a University of Illinois monograph on sheep reported them to be just below pigs and on par with cattle in IQ.\nSheep can recognize individual human and ovine faces, and remember them for years. In addition to long-term facial recognition of individuals, sheep can also differentiate emotional states through facial characteristics. If worked with patiently, sheep may learn their names and many sheep are trained to be led by halter for showing and other purposes. Sheep have also responded well to clicker training. Sheep have been used as pack animals; Tibetan nomads distribute baggage equally throughout a flock as it is herded between living sites.\n\nIt has been reported that some sheep have apparently shown problem-solving abilities; a flock in West Yorkshire, England allegedly found a way to get over cattle grids by rolling on their backs, although documentation of this has relied on anecdotal accounts.\n\n===Vocalisations===\n\nSounds made by domestic sheep include bleats, grunts, rumbles and snorts. Bleating (\"baaing\") is used mostly for contact communication, especially between dam and lambs, but also at times between other flock members. The bleats of individual sheep are distinctive, enabling the ewe and her lambs to recognize each other's vocalizations. Vocal communication between lambs and their dam declines to a very low level within several weeks after parturition. A variety of bleats may be heard, depending on sheep age and circumstances. Apart from contact communication, bleating may signal distress, frustration or impatience; however, sheep are usually silent when in pain. Isolation commonly prompts bleating by sheep. Pregnant ewes may grunt when in labor. Rumbling sounds are made by the ram during courting; somewhat similar rumbling sounds may be made by the ewe, especially when with her neonate lambs. A snort (explosive exhalation through the nostrils) may signal aggression or a warning, and is often elicited from startled sheep.\n\n===Senses===\nLamb\nIn sheep breeds lacking facial wool, the visual field is wide. In 10 sheep (Cambridge, Lleyn and Welsh Mountain breeds, which lack facial wool), the visual field ranged from 298\u00b0 to 325\u00b0, averaging 313.1\u00b0, with binocular overlap ranging from 44.5\u00b0 to 74\u00b0, averaging 61.7\u00b0. In some breeds, unshorn facial wool can limit the visual field; in some individuals, this may be enough to cause \"wool blindness\". In 60 Merinos, visual fields ranged from 219.1\u00b0 to 303.0\u00b0, averaging 269.9\u00b0, and the binocular field ranged from 8.9\u00b0 to 77.7\u00b0, averaging 47.5\u00b0; 36% of the measurements were limited by wool, although photographs of the experiments indicate that only limited facial wool regrowth had occurred since shearing. In addition to facial wool (in some breeds), visual field limitations can include ears and (in some breeds) horns, so the visual field can be extended by tilting the head. Sheep eyes exhibit very low hyperopia and little astigmatism. Such visual characteristics are likely to produce a well-focused retinal image of objects in both the middle and long distance. Because sheep eyes have no accommodation, one might expect the image of very near objects to be blurred, but a rather clear near image could be provided by the tapetum and large retinal image of the sheep's eye, and adequate close vision may occur at muzzle length. Good depth perception, inferred from the sheep's sure-footedness, was confirmed in \"visual cliff\" experiments; behavioral responses indicating depth perception are seen in lambs at one day old. Sheep are thought to have colour vision, and can distinguish between a variety of colours: black, red, brown, green, yellow and white. Sight is a vital part of sheep communication, and when grazing, they maintain visual contact with each other. Each sheep lifts its head upwards to check the position of other sheep in the flock. This constant monitoring is probably what keeps the sheep in a flock as they move along grazing. Sheep become stressed when isolated; this stress is reduced if they are provided with a mirror, indicating that the sight of other sheep reduces stress.\n\nTaste is the most important sense in sheep, establishing forage preferences, with sweet and sour plants being preferred and bitter plants being more commonly rejected. Touch and sight are also important in relation to specific plant characteristics, such as succulence and growth form.\n\nThe ram uses his vomeronasal organ (sometimes called the Jacobson's organ) to sense the pheromones of ewes and detect when they are in estrus. The ewe uses her vomeronasal organ for early recognition of her neonate lamb.\n" "Reproduction" "\nThe second of twins being born.\nSheep follow a similar reproductive strategy to other herd animals. A group of ewes is generally mated by a single ram, who has either been chosen by a breeder or (in feral populations) has established dominance through physical contest with other rams. Most sheep are seasonal breeders, although some are able to breed year-round. Ewes generally reach sexual maturity at six to eight months old, and rams generally at four to six months. However, there are exceptions. For example, Finnsheep ewe lambs may reach puberty as early as 3 to 4 months, and Merino ewes sometimes reach puberty at 18 to 20 months. Ewes have estrus cycles about every 17 days, during which they emit a scent and indicate readiness through physical displays towards rams. A minority of rams (8% on average) display a preference for homosexuality and a small number of the females that were accompanied by a male fetus ''in utero'' are freemartins (female animals that are behaviorally masculine and lack functioning ovaries).\n\nIn feral sheep, rams may fight during the rut to determine which individuals may mate with ewes. Rams, especially unfamiliar ones, will also fight outside the breeding period to establish dominance; rams can kill one another if allowed to mix freely. During the rut, even usually friendly rams may become aggressive towards humans due to increases in their hormone levels.\n\nAfter mating, sheep have a gestation period of about five months, and normal labor takes one to three hours. Although some breeds regularly throw larger litters of lambs, most produce single or twin lambs. During or soon after labor, ewes and lambs may be confined to small lambing jugs, small pens designed to aid both careful observation of ewes and to cement the bond between them and their lambs.\n\nA lamb's first steps\n\nOvine obstetrics can be problematic. By selectively breeding ewes that produce multiple offspring with higher birth weights for generations, sheep producers have inadvertently caused some domestic sheep to have difficulty lambing; balancing ease of lambing with high productivity is one of the dilemmas of sheep breeding. In the case of any such problems, those present at lambing may assist the ewe by extracting or repositioning lambs. After the birth, ewes ideally break the amniotic sac (if it is not broken during labor), and begin licking clean the lamb. Most lambs will begin standing within an hour of birth. In normal situations, lambs nurse after standing, receiving vital colostrum milk. Lambs that either fail to nurse or are rejected by the ewe require help to survive, such as bottle-feeding or fostering by another ewe.\n\nAfter lambs are several weeks old, lamb marking (ear tagging, docking, and castrating) is carried out. Vaccinations are usually carried out at this point as well. Ear tags with numbers are attached, or ear marks are applied, for ease of later identification of sheep. Castration is performed on ram lambs not intended for breeding, although some shepherds choose to omit this for ethical, economic or practical reasons. However, many would disagree with regard to timing. Docking and castration are commonly done after 24 hours (to avoid interference with maternal bonding and consumption of colostrum) and are often done not later than one week after birth, to minimize pain, stress, recovery time and complications. The first course of vaccinations (commonly anti-clostridial) is commonly given at an age of about 10 to 12 weeks; i.e. when the concentration of maternal antibodies passively acquired via colostrum is expected to have fallen low enough to permit development of active immunity. Ewes are often revaccinated annually about 3 weeks before lambing, to provide high antibody concentrations in colostrum during the first several hours after lambing. Ram lambs that will either be slaughtered or separated from ewes before sexual maturity are not usually castrated. Tail docking is commonly done for welfare, having been shown to reduce risk of fly strike. Objections to all these procedures have been raised by animal rights groups, but farmers defend them by saying they solve many practical and veterinary problems, and inflict only temporary pain.\n" "Health" "A veterinarian draws blood to test for resistance to scrapie\nSheep may fall victim to poisons, infectious diseases, and physical injuries. As a prey species, a sheep's system is adapted to hide the obvious signs of illness, to prevent being targeted by predators. However, some signs of ill health are obvious, with sick sheep eating little, vocalizing excessively, and being generally listless. Throughout history, much of the money and labor of sheep husbandry has aimed to prevent sheep ailments. Historically, shepherds often created remedies by experimentation on the farm. In some developed countries, including the United States, sheep lack the economic importance for drug companies to perform expensive clinical trials required to approve more than a relatively limited number of drugs for ovine use. However, extra-label drug use in sheep production is permitted in many jurisdictions, subject to certain restrictions. In the US, for example, regulations governing extra-label drug use in animals are found in 21 CFR (Code of Federal Regulations) Part 530. In the 20th and 21st centuries, a minority of sheep owners have turned to alternative treatments such as homeopathy, herbalism and even traditional Chinese medicine to treat sheep veterinary problems. Despite some favorable anecdotal evidence, the effectiveness of alternative veterinary medicine has been met with skepticism in scientific journals. The need for traditional anti-parasite drugs and antibiotics is widespread, and is the main impediment to certified organic farming with sheep.\n\nMany breeders take a variety of preventive measures to ward off problems. The first is to ensure all sheep are healthy when purchased. Many buyers avoid outlets known to be clearing houses for animals culled from healthy flocks as either sick or simply inferior. This can also mean maintaining a closed flock, and quarantining new sheep for a month. Two fundamental preventive programs are maintaining good nutrition and reducing stress in the sheep. Restraint, isolation, loud noises, novel situations, pain, heat, extreme cold, fatigue and other stressors can lead to secretion of cortisol, a stress hormone, in amounts that may indicate welfare problems. Excessive stress can compromise the immune system. \"Shipping fever\" (pneumonic mannheimiosis, formerly called pasteurellosis) is a disease of particular concern, that can occur as a result of stress, notably during transport and (or) handling. Pain, fear and several other stressors can cause secretion of epinephrine (adrenaline). Considerable epinephrine secretion in the final days before slaughter can adversely affect meat quality (by causing glycogenolysis, removing the substrate for normal post-slaughter acidification of meat) and result in meat becoming more susceptible to colonization by spoilage bacteria. Because of such issues, low-stress handling is essential in sheep management. Avoiding poisoning is also important; common poisons are pesticide sprays, inorganic fertilizer, motor oil, as well as radiator coolant containing ethylene glycol.\n\norf, a disease transmittable to humans through skin contact\n\nCommon forms of preventive medication for sheep are vaccinations and treatments for parasites. Both external and internal parasites are the most prevalent malady in sheep, and are either fatal, or reduce the productivity of flocks. Worms are the most common internal parasites. They are ingested during grazing, incubate within the sheep, and are expelled through the digestive system (beginning the cycle again). Oral anti-parasitic medicines, known as drenches, are given to a flock to treat worms, sometimes after worm eggs in the feces has been counted to assess infestation levels. Afterwards, sheep may be moved to a new pasture to avoid ingesting the same parasites. External sheep parasites include: lice (for different parts of the body), sheep keds, nose bots, sheep itch mites, and maggots. Keds are blood-sucking parasites that cause general malnutrition and decreased productivity, but are not fatal. Maggots are those of the bot fly and the blow-fly. Fly maggots cause the extremely destructive condition of flystrike. Flies lay their eggs in wounds or wet, manure-soiled wool; when the maggots hatch they burrow into a sheep's flesh, eventually causing death if untreated. In addition to other treatments, crutching (shearing wool from a sheep's rump) is a common preventive method. Some countries allow mulesing, a practice that involves stripping away the skin on the rump to prevent fly-strike, normally performed when the sheep is a lamb. Nose bots are fly larvae that inhabit a sheep's sinuses, causing breathing difficulties and discomfort. Common signs are a discharge from the nasal passage, sneezing, and frantic movement such as head shaking. External parasites may be controlled through the use of backliners, sprays or immersive sheep dips.\n\nA wide array of bacterial and viral diseases affect sheep. Diseases of the hoof, such as foot rot and foot scald may occur, and are treated with footbaths and other remedies. These painful conditions cause lameness and hinder feeding. Ovine Johne's disease is a wasting disease that affects young sheep. Bluetongue disease is an insect-borne illness causing fever and inflammation of the mucous membranes. Ovine rinderpest (or ''peste des petits ruminants'') is a highly contagious and often fatal viral disease affecting sheep and goats.\n\nA few sheep conditions are transmissible to humans. Orf (also known as scabby mouth, contagious ecthyma or soremouth) is a skin disease leaving lesions that is transmitted through skin-to-skin contact. Cutaneous anthrax is also called woolsorter's disease, as the spores can be transmitted in unwashed wool. More seriously, the organisms that can cause spontaneous enzootic abortion in sheep are easily transmitted to pregnant women. Also of concern are the prion disease scrapie and the virus that causes foot-and-mouth disease (FMD), as both can devastate flocks. The latter poses a slight risk to humans. During the 2001 FMD pandemic in the UK, hundreds of sheep were culled and some rare British breeds were at risk of extinction due to this.\n\n===Predators===\n\nA lamb being attacked by coyotes with a bite to the throat\nOther than parasites and disease, predation is a threat to sheep and the profitability of sheep raising. Sheep have little ability to defend themselves, compared with other species kept as livestock. Even if sheep survive an attack, they may die from their injuries, or simply from panic. However, the impact of predation varies dramatically with region. In Africa, Australia, the Americas, and parts of Europe and Asia predators are a serious problem. In the United States, for instance, over one third of sheep deaths in 2004 were caused by predation. In contrast, other nations are virtually devoid of sheep predators, particularly islands known for extensive sheep husbandry. Worldwide, canids\u2014including the domestic dog\u2014are responsible for most sheep deaths. Other animals that occasionally prey on sheep include: felines, bears, birds of prey, ravens and feral hogs.\n\nSheep producers have used a wide variety of measures to combat predation. Pre-modern shepherds used their own presence, livestock guardian dogs, and protective structures such as barns and fencing. Fencing (both regular and electric), penning sheep at night and lambing indoors all continue to be widely used. More modern shepherds used guns, traps, and poisons to kill predators, causing significant decreases in predator populations. In the wake of the environmental and conservation movements, the use of these methods now usually falls under the purview of specially designated government agencies in most developed countries.\n\nThe 1970s saw a resurgence in the use of livestock guardian dogs and the development of new methods of predator control by sheep producers, many of them non-lethal. Donkeys and guard llamas have been used since the 1980s in sheep operations, using the same basic principle as livestock guardian dogs. Interspecific pasturing, usually with larger livestock such as cattle or horses, may help to deter predators, even if such species do not actively guard sheep. In addition to animal guardians, contemporary sheep operations may use non-lethal predator deterrents such as motion-activated lights and noisy alarms.\n" "Economic importance" "\n\nSheep are an important part of the global agricultural economy. However, their once vital status has been largely replaced by other livestock species, especially the pig, chicken, and cow. China, Australia, India, and Iran have the largest modern flocks, and serve both local and exportation needs for wool and mutton. Other countries such as New Zealand have smaller flocks but retain a large international economic impact due to their export of sheep products. Sheep also play a major role in many local economies, which may be niche markets focused on organic or sustainable agriculture and local food customers. Especially in developing countries, such flocks may be a part of subsistence agriculture rather than a system of trade. Sheep themselves may be a medium of trade in barter economies.\n\nWool supplied by Australian farmers to dealers (tonnes/quarter) has been in decline since 1990\nDomestic sheep provide a wide array of raw materials. Wool was one of the first textiles, although in the late 20th century wool prices began to fall dramatically as the result of the popularity and cheap prices for synthetic fabrics. For many sheep owners, the cost of shearing is greater than the possible profit from the fleece, making subsisting on wool production alone practically impossible without farm subsidies. Fleeces are used as material in making alternative products such as wool insulation. In the 21st century, the sale of meat is the most profitable enterprise in the sheep industry, even though far less sheep meat is consumed than chicken, pork or beef.\n\nSheepskin is likewise used for making clothes, footwear, rugs, and other products. Byproducts from the slaughter of sheep are also of value: sheep tallow can be used in candle and soap making, sheep bone and cartilage has been used to furnish carved items such as dice and buttons as well as rendered glue and gelatin. Sheep intestine can be formed into sausage casings, and lamb intestine has been formed into surgical sutures, as well as strings for musical instruments and tennis rackets. Sheep droppings, which are high in cellulose, have even been sterilized and mixed with traditional pulp materials to make paper. Of all sheep byproducts, perhaps the most valuable is lanolin: the waterproof, fatty substance found naturally in sheep's wool and used as a base for innumerable cosmetics and other products.\n\nSome farmers who keep sheep also make a profit from live sheep. Providing lambs for youth programs such as 4-H and competition at agricultural shows is often a dependable avenue for the sale of sheep. Farmers may also choose to focus on a particular breed of sheep in order to sell registered purebred animals, as well as provide a ram rental service for breeding. The most valuable sheep ever sold to date was a purebred Texel ram that fetched \u00a3231,000 at auction. The previous record holder was a Merino ram sold for \u00a3205,000 in 1989. A new option for deriving profit from live sheep is the rental of flocks for grazing; these \"mowing services\" are hired in order to keep unwanted vegetation down in public spaces and to lessen fire hazard.\n\nDespite the falling demand and price for sheep products in many markets, sheep have distinct economic advantages when compared with other livestock. They do not require expensive housing, such as that used in the intensive farming of chickens or pigs. They are an efficient use of land; roughly six sheep can be kept on the amount that would suffice for a single cow or horse. Sheep can also consume plants, such as noxious weeds, that most other animals will not touch, and produce more young at a faster rate. Also, in contrast to most livestock species, the cost of raising sheep is not necessarily tied to the price of feed crops such as grain, soybeans and corn. Combined with the lower cost of quality sheep, all these factors combine to equal a lower overhead for sheep producers, thus entailing a higher profitability potential for the small farmer. Sheep are especially beneficial for independent producers, including family farms with limited resources, as the sheep industry is one of the few types of animal agriculture that has not been vertically integrated by agribusiness.\n" "As food" "Shoulder of lamb\n\n\nSheep meat and milk were one of the earliest staple proteins consumed by human civilization after the transition from hunting and gathering to agriculture. Sheep meat prepared for food is known as either mutton or lamb. \"Mutton\" is derived from the Old French ''moton'', which was the word for sheep used by the Anglo-Norman rulers of much of the British Isles in the Middle Ages. This became the name for sheep meat in English, while the Old English word ''sceap'' was kept for the live animal. Throughout modern history, \"mutton\" has been limited to the meat of mature sheep usually at least two years of age; \"lamb\" is used for that of immature sheep less than a year.\n\nIn the 21st century, the nations with the highest consumption of sheep meat are the Arab States of the Persian Gulf, New Zealand, Australia, Greece, Uruguay, the United Kingdom and Ireland. These countries eat 14\u201340\u00a0lbs (3\u201318\u00a0kg) of sheep meat per capita, per annum. Sheep meat is also popular in France, Africa (especially the Maghreb), the Caribbean, the rest of the Middle East, India, and parts of China. This often reflects a history of sheep production. In these countries in particular, dishes comprising alternative cuts and offal may be popular or traditional. Sheep testicles\u2014called animelles or lamb fries\u2014are considered a delicacy in many parts of the world. Perhaps the most unusual dish of sheep meat is the Scottish haggis, composed of various sheep innards cooked along with oatmeal and chopped onions inside its stomach. In comparison, countries such as the U.S. consume only a pound or less (under 0.5\u00a0kg), with Americans eating 50\u00a0pounds (22\u00a0kg) of pork and 65\u00a0pounds (29\u00a0kg) of beef. In addition, such countries rarely eat mutton, and may favor the more expensive cuts of lamb: mostly lamb chops and leg of lamb.\n\nThough sheep's milk may be drunk rarely in fresh form, today it is used predominantly in cheese and yogurt making. Sheep have only two teats, and produce a far smaller volume of milk than cows. However, as sheep's milk contains far more fat, solids, and minerals than cow's milk, it is ideal for the cheese-making process. It also resists contamination during cooling better because of its much higher calcium content. Well-known cheeses made from sheep milk include the Feta of Bulgaria and Greece, Roquefort of France, Manchego from Spain, the Pecorino Romano (the Italian word for sheep is ''pecore'') and Ricotta of Italy. Yogurts, especially some forms of strained yogurt, may also be made from sheep milk. Many of these products are now often made with cow's milk, especially when produced outside their country of origin. Sheep milk contains 4.8% lactose, which may affect those who are intolerant.\n\nAs with other domestic animals, the meat of uncastrated males is inferior in quality, especially as they grow. A \"bucky\" lamb is a lamb which was not castrated early enough, or which was castrated improperly (resulting in one testicle being retained). These lambs are worth less at market.\n" "In science" "Dolly was a scientific landmark.\nOvine heart.\nSheep are generally too large and reproduce too slowly to make ideal research subjects, and thus are not a common model organism. They have, however, played an influential role in some fields of science. In particular, the Roslin Institute of Edinburgh, Scotland used sheep for genetics research that produced groundbreaking results. In 1995, two ewes named Megan and Morag were the first mammals cloned from differentiated cells. A year later, a Finnish Dorset sheep named Dolly, dubbed \"the world's most famous sheep\" in ''Scientific American'', was the first mammal to be cloned from an adult somatic cell. Following this, Polly and Molly were the first mammals to be simultaneously cloned and transgenic.\n\nAs of 2008, the sheep genome has not been fully sequenced, although a detailed genetic map has been published, and a draft version of the complete genome produced by assembling sheep DNA sequences using information given by the genomes of other mammals. In 2012, a transgenic sheep named \"Peng Peng\" was cloned by Chinese scientists, who spliced his genes with that of a roundworm (C. elegans) in order to increase production of fats healthier for human consumption.\n\nIn the study of natural selection, the population of Soay sheep that remain on the island of Hirta have been used to explore the relation of body size and coloration to reproductive success. Soay sheep come in several colors, and researchers investigated why the larger, darker sheep were in decline; this occurrence contradicted the rule of thumb that larger members of a population tend to be more successful reproductively. The feral Soays on Hirta are especially useful subjects because they are isolated.\n\nSheep are one of the few animals where the molecular basis of the diversity of male sexual preferences has been examined. However, this research has been controversial, and much publicity has been produced by a study at the Oregon Health and Science University that investigated the mechanisms that produce homosexuality in rams. Organizations such as PETA campaigned against the study, accusing scientists of trying to cure homosexuality in the sheep. OHSU and the involved scientists vehemently denied such accusations.\n\nDomestic sheep are sometimes used in medical research, particularly for researching cardiovascular physiology, in areas such as hypertension and heart failure. Pregnant sheep are also a useful model for human pregnancy, and have been used to investigate the effects on fetal development of malnutrition and hypoxia. In behavioral sciences, sheep have been used in isolated cases for the study of facial recognition, as their mental process of recognition is qualitatively similar to humans.\n" "Cultural impact" "\nThe proverbial black sheep\n\nSheep have had a strong presence in many cultures, especially in areas where they form the most common type of livestock. In the English language, to call someone a sheep or ovine may allude that they are timid and easily led. In contradiction to this image, male sheep are often used as symbols of virility and power; the logos of the Los Angeles Rams football team and the Dodge Ram pickup truck allude to males of the bighorn sheep, ''Ovis canadensis''.\n\nCounting sheep is popularly said to be an aid to sleep, and some ancient systems of counting sheep persist today. Sheep also enter in colloquial sayings and idiom frequently with such phrases as \"black sheep\". To call an individual a black sheep implies that they are an odd or disreputable member of a group. This usage derives from the recessive trait that causes an occasional black lamb to be born into an entirely white flock. These black sheep were considered undesirable by shepherds, as black wool is not as commercially viable as white wool. Citizens who accept overbearing governments have been referred to by the Portmanteau neologism of sheeple. Somewhat differently, the adjective \"sheepish\" is also used to describe embarrassment.\n\n===Religion and folklore===\nAncient Greek red-figure ram-head rhyton, ca. 340 BC\n\nIn antiquity, symbolism involving sheep cropped up in religions in the ancient Near East, the Mideast, and the Mediterranean area: \u00c7atalh\u00f6y\u00fck, ancient Egyptian religion, the Cana'anite and Phoenician tradition, Judaism, Greek religion, and others. Religious symbolism and ritual involving sheep began with some of the first known faiths: Skulls of rams (along with bulls) occupied central placement in shrines at the \u00c7atalh\u00f6y\u00fck settlement in 8,000 BCE. In Ancient Egyptian religion, the ram was the symbol of several gods: Khnum, Heryshaf and Amun (in his incarnation as a god of fertility). Other deities occasionally shown with ram features include the goddess Ishtar, the Phoenician god Baal-Hamon, and the Babylonian god Ea-Oannes. In Madagascar, sheep were not eaten as they were believed to be incarnations of the souls of ancestors.\n\nThere are many ancient Greek references to sheep: that of Chrysomallos, the golden-fleeced ram, continuing to be told through into the modern era. Astrologically, Aries, the ram, is the first sign of the classical Greek zodiac, and the sheep is the eighth of the twelve animals associated with the 12-year cycle of in the Chinese zodiac, related to the Chinese calendar. In Mongolia, shagai are an ancient form of dice made from the cuboid bones of sheep that are often used for fortunetelling purposes.\n\nJesus is depicted as \"The Good Shepherd\", with the sheep being Christians\n\nSheep play an important role in all the Abrahamic faiths; Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, Moses, King David and the Islamic prophet Muhammad were all shepherds. According to the Biblical story of the Binding of Isaac, a ram is sacrificed as a substitute for Isaac after an angel stays Abraham's hand (in the Islamic tradition, Abraham was about to sacrifice Ishmael). Eid al-Adha is a major annual festival in Islam in which sheep (or other animals) are sacrificed in remembrance of this act. Sheep are occasionally sacrificed to commemorate important secular events in Islamic cultures. Greeks and Romans sacrificed sheep regularly in religious practice, and Judaism once sacrificed sheep as a Korban (sacrifice), such as the Passover lamb . Ovine symbols\u2014such as the ceremonial blowing of a shofar\u2014still find a presence in modern Judaic traditions. Followers of Christianity are collectively often referred to as a flock, with Christ as the Good Shepherd, and sheep are an element in the Christian iconography of the birth of Jesus. Some Christian saints are considered patrons of shepherds, and even of sheep themselves. Christ is also portrayed as the Sacrificial lamb of God (''Agnus Dei'') and Easter celebrations in Greece and Romania traditionally feature a meal of Paschal lamb. In many Christian traditions, a church leader is called the pastor, which is derived from the Latin word for shepherd.\n\nSheep are key symbols in fables and nursery rhymes like ''The Wolf in Sheep's Clothing'', ''Little Bo Peep'', ''Baa, Baa, Black Sheep'', and ''Mary Had a Little Lamb''; novels such as George Orwell's ''Animal Farm'' and Haruki Murakami's ''A Wild Sheep Chase''; songs such as Bach's ''Sheep may safely graze'' (''Schafe k\u00f6nnen sicher weiden'') and Pink Floyd's ''Sheep'', and poems like William Blake's \"The Lamb\".\n" "See also" "* Dry Sheep Equivalent\n* History of the domestic sheep\n* Sheepfold\n* Sheeple\n* Shrek (sheep)\n* Sonny Wool\n* U.S. Sheep Experiment Station\n* Venray sheep companies\n\n" "References" "\n" "Sources" "* \n* \n* \n* \n* \n* \n* \n" "External links" "\n\n\n\n* American Sheep Industry\n* Sheep Industry (Queensland)\n* Canadian Sheep Federation\n* National Sheep Association (UK)\n* New Zealand Sheepbreeders Association\n* ''Sheep'' magazine, all articles available free online\n* View the sheep genome in Ensembl\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n"
"Sinchronicity" "Introduction" "\n\n\n\n\n\n'''''Sinchronicity''''' is a six-part drama series broadcast on BBC Three in the United Kingdom (16 July 2006 \u2014 20 August 2006). Set in Manchester, the programme is narrated by Nathan (Paul Chequer) and focuses on the love triangle of him, Fi (Jemima Rooper), and Jase (Daniel Percival).

Stylistically similar to ''As If'', following a non-linear narrative, it also features ex-cast members Paul Chequer, Jemima Rooper and Mark Smith and, as such, can be seen as its spiritual successor. The theme tune is \"Boys Will Be Boys\" by the Ordinary Boys. The show was filmed in high definition and was re-run on BBC HD in mid-October 2006.\n" "International Screenings" "\nThe series was sold to Television New Zealand and began screening on 31 October 2008 at 11.00 pm; whilst it has also been broadcast on Special Broadcasting Service in Australia.

The trio - Nathan, his best friend Jase, and Jase's girlfriend, Fi - are pursued through the streets by the bouncer; Jase disappears, leaving Fi and Nathan alone together. They end up at a party, where they are reunited with Jase temporarily. After Nathan is caught, and attacked, by the bouncer, Fi turns up at Nathan's apartment after she loses her keys, and they have a passionate sexual encounter. A drunken, distraught Jase knocks on Nathan's door, leaving Fi to hide herself and any evidence of her infidelty.\n\nThe following day, Jase asks Nathan to meet him, where he confides in his best friend, the events of the night before. Jase met a doctor called Mani, who Jase invites to the party, and who proceeds to give him illegal drugs and a blowjob in the toilets at the party. Nathan, who was worried Jase had caught on, or been told about, his night of passion with Fi, narrates his feelings to the audience, whilst Jase tries to convince Nathan that he's not gay. Nathan proceeds to recount the events of how they met Fi, and how he persuaded Jase to pursue her and ask her out. Nathan goes to see Fi, at the restaurant where she is working, where he tries to pursue her further.\n\n*Episode 2 (23 July 2006)\nWriter: Julian Jones\n\nNathan attempts to take Fi out for a romantic dinner, but she declines claiming that she is not interested in cheating on Jase, and dismissing their one night together as a \"drunken shag.\" Jase once again meets with Mani who is called back to his work at a hospital. Jase follows him to the hospital where he meets Rosa, a devout Catholic, who has just broken up with her controlling boyfriend. Fi, who is waiting for Jase to pick her up, rings Nathan to find out where Jase is. Nathan lies for Jase, telling her that there was a robbery at Jase's office which Jase has gone to sort out. Nathan goes to the restaurant to bring Fi home and on the way Fi tells him to move on with his life.\n\nNathan goes on a date with Rosa, whom he met in church, while escaping the police who saw him distributing prostitute cards (he printed and supplied them to the local sex-workers in order to make some money on the side), and while she was praying for a new boyfriend, having seen a gay couple (Jase and Mani) at the hospital looking so in love. He confides in Rosa that one of his sexual fantasies involves a woman calling to his apartment wearing only lingerie and a coat. Fi becomes increasingly suspicious about Jase's activities the night before, as she finds his cover story unconvincing. Nathan, after receiving increasing lewd phone calls learns that the cards he has been distributing have been tampered with by Peggy and Fay to include his phone number. He gets Jase to help him take down the cards from various phone booths across Manchester. Jase goes to the hospital to end his relationship with Mani, but has a change of heart and rings Fi to cancel their dinner claiming that he is stuck at the office. Fi goes to Nathan's flat to confront Nathan about Jase's activities after she finds one of Nathan's prostitute cards in Jase's coat. Nathan attempts to explain that the cards are his and that nothing is going on, when they are interrupted by Rosa who is acting out Nathan's fantasy. Jase then comes in and Rosa recognises him from the hospital. Two police call claiming that the flat is being used for prostitution and find Rosa dressed only in lingerie. Two prostitutes follow a moment later, irate that they have not received any customers due to the edited phone numbers. Nathan is brought to the police station but is let off with a warning. Rosa decides to end her relationship with Nathan because of the debacle at his flat.\n\n*Episode 3 (30 July 2006)\nWriter: Julian Jones\n\nNathan is confronted by an angry Rosa, who tells him she is infected with a sexually transmitted infection, and that he infected her. He works out that if he infected her, then he would almost certainly have infected Fi, who would have infected Jase, who would have infected Mani, which would reveal the secret that he had shagged his best mate's girlfriend. He is told by the nurse at the STI that it is his duty to inform all those who he thinks would be affected. Added to this, Peggy is sniping at Nathan's heels with regards to a feature she wants him to cover on swinging. She has booked him to attend, and take part, in a swinger's party; no spectating allowed. Convinced that he has to tell Fi, after confiding in his transsexual colleague, Fay, Nathan proceeds to find out if she's infected. He sees her taking some pills - evening primrose - and decides he has nothing to worry about. He doesn't realise Fi has been to the STI clinic too, angry that she has been infected with Gonorrhoea by Nathan.\n\nMeanwhile, Mani and Jase are arranging another get together, at Mani's expensive London flat, where they proceed to have sex. A phone-call from Fi takes Jase back into the real world, but an understanding Mani provides comfort. That evening, the trio go round to Fi and Jase's for dinner, where Fi is suitably hostile with Nathan, insulting him with words such as \"tossprick\" over a game of Scrabble. The next day, Jase receives an urgent call from Mani, and they meet at the hospital, where Mani informs Jase that he gave him \"the clap,\" and asks who gave it to him. Jase confesses that he ignored the symptoms, and is certain that it wasn't Fi who infected him, leading him to confess that he has had one-night encounters with men, and that a man whom he met a few times at the gym, told him earlier that he had the infection, and that it was likely Jase would too. Mani presses for more information from Jase, and Jase confesses that he had his first homosexual encounter when he was 18, and that \"it's just something that happens sometimes.\" That night, Jase asks Nathan to meet him, and confesses to Nathan that he has infected Mani, and that there was someone else who he had sex with, leaving Nathan relieved that Jase has not worked out that he had sex with Fi. Jase is convinced that he will end it with Mani, and live a happy life with Fi, and is persuaded by Nathan, that he won't have given Fi the infection. The following evening, Mani and Jase meet again, and Mani confesses that before he met Jase, he \"shagged around,\" with Jase ending the relationship, by saying he loves Fi. Nathan attends the swingers party, and shies away from having sex with anyone. The following day, Fi meets Mani at the STI clinic, where he talks to her about Jase, leading her to summise, he'd have been a \"shit boyfriend\" anyway. Later that day, Jase tells Nathan he's going with Fi for a few days away, and that they will be just fine.\n\n*Episode 4 (6 August 2006)\nWriter: Julian Jones\n\nThe episode opens with Nathan attending a funeral, before flashing back to Nathan with Peggy and Fay at the magazine office. Peggy has arranged for Nathan to meet a porn star that night, and Fay has given him some recreational pills for erectile dysfunction, that claim to provide a 36-hour erection. Nathan's dad turns up, and asks to tag-along, where he flirts recklessly with the Dutch pornstar, who has starred in films such as \"Position Impossible,\" \"The Extra Testicle\" and \"The Talented Mr. Lick-Me.\" Nathan leaves early, and on return to his flat, hears the pornstar crying out; he opens the door to find his father, dead, and attached to the pornstar, in a sexual position. The ambulance attendees inform Nathan that his father has no vital signs, except for his erection, and that the shock has caused the pornstar's vaginal muscles to spasm. Mani informs Nathan that the 36-hour erection pills were found in his pocket, and that his father has died.\n\nGoing back a few days, Nathan goes round to Fi and Jase's apartment, to wait for Jase, nervous about giving Fi the STD, but commenting that he knows it was his good friend, \"JA-C-DC\" (a pun on the AC/DC nickname for bisexuals), who infected her. Jase and Nathan proceed to the gym to play squash, where things get a bit heated on the court; they quickly reconnect though, and Jase confides to Nathan in the changing room that he is suffering from problems getting an erection with Fi. Nathan tells him he only wants the best for them, and gives Jase the pills. He uses them that night, and he has sex with Fi, only for her to discover him in the bathroom with a raging erection, and the pills in his hand. Scenes from Nathan's father's funeral are interspersed with Fay and Nathan hiding the true nature of his father's death from his mother, before she eventually reveals to Nathan that the hospital informed her. Jase and Fi are both in attendance at the funeral, although things are strained between Jase and Nathan, as Jase does not forgive him for giving him the pills that turned him into a \"dalek.\" Mani meets Nathan to discuss his father's death, where Mani reveals that Jase has been in contact, and has informed him that it's all over between him and Fi, following her anger that he used the pills. Flashing forward to the funeral, Mani turns up, and has to pretend that he's never met Jase or Fi beforehand; when Jase and Mani are alone outside of the wake, Mani ends things with him, with Jase conflicted between him and Fi. Back in the present day, after the wake, Fi turns up at Nathan's apartment, and tells him she wants him. As they are kissing, Nathan's mobile rings; it is Mani informing him that Jase has had an accident - he has been hit by a car. At the hospital, Fi is distressed, and Nathan finally disposes of the erection pills in the hospital bin.\n\n*Episode 5 (13 August 2006)\nWriter: Lucy Watkins\n\nJase is in a coma at the hospital, having been at a gay club, upset about Mani ending their relationship; at the club, he had a random sexual affair, took a multitude of drugs, and got drunk, prior to leaving and getting hit by the car. Nathan takes it upon himself to convince the nurses, and Mani, who, despite not being Jase's doctor, has taken an obvious interest, that Fi cannot find out about where Jase was and what he was up to, that night. It's not clear if Jase will pull through; his brainscans suggest he could be seriously damaged by the car accident, and could possibly die. Mani suggests that Nathan get Jase's personal belongings, and hide them from Fi, including a cock ring, and his mobile phone. When the mobile phone rings, and Nathan answers, he receives a nasty shock from a drug dealer Jase has dealt with, and to whom he owes \u00a3200. Nathan arranges a way to get Fi out of the hospital for a while, saying he will watch over Jase, whilst she goes home and has a bath and a rest.\n\nWhilst she is away, he visits Derek, the drug dealer, and his obese girlfriend, who is obsessed with fried chicken; Nathan pays him the money, but accidentally chokes the dealer's pet dog on a chicken bone. He hides the dog in the washing machine, only to lean back and turn it on to see the dead dog spinning around; he makes his exit unscathed, and without the dealer being aware of where the dog has ended up. Nathan rushes back to the hospital to be greeted by Jemima, a drag queen, who Jase had met at the club last night, and to whom he had confessed his love for Mani. The nurse, who has been playing along with Nathan, after she caught him stealing Jase's cock ring, overhears the conversation, and becomes convinced that Nathan is gay too. The doctors reveal that Jase will be fine, and that it was the high amount of drugs he had consumed that had led to the frightening brainscans. The nurse tells Fi that Nathan has told her he is gay, which leads to Nathan trying to escape Fi's wrath by telling her that he fancied the nurse and thought she would try to \"convert\" him to heterosexuality, thereby tarnishing his relationship with Fi, upsetting her immensely. Jase awakes from his coma, to the relief of Fi, Nathan and Mani, and whilst the doctors run tests, Mani tells Nathan he has discovered who he was really trying to protect - he wasn't trying to protect Jase, as Mani had assumed, but Fi. Mani tells Nathan to confess the truth to Fi; that he loves her and that Jase is gay, for it will be the only way to win her round. She is waiting outside the hospital for a bus back to the flat, and Nathan runs to catch it, nearly colliding with a car being driven by Derek, whose dog he killed, but does he make it?\n\n*Episode 6 (20 August 2006)\nWriter: Julian Jones\n\nAs Nathan rushes to catch the bus, and tell Fi about Jase's sexual orientation, and the truth about his feelings for her, there are two versions of events; one where he caught the bus, and one where he missed it, interspersed with one another. In the first version, he gets on the bus, and asks Fi to go for a coffee with him, where he confesses the truth about Jase being gay, and tells Fi that he loves her and can't be without her. Nathan goes to the hospital, having told Mani that he's informed Fi, where an alert Jase gives him his credit card and PIN, and asks him to go out and buy an engagement ring for Fi, as the whole experience has made him realise he wants to spend his life with her. Fi walks in, and speaks to Nathan privately, before asking Jase to be honest and tell the truth; she confesses to him that she had an affair with Nathan, and asks him to be honest too. Meanwhile, Fay is having a party to celebrate her imminent gender reassignment surgery (a \"Goodbye penis, hello vagina!\" party); she is having second thoughts, and Nathan turns up and re-assures her everything will be fine. Nathan, now home at his flat, is surprised to see Jase in his hospital gown, angry that he told Fi about the affair; he leaves to find Fi, and confesses to her that he doesn't know if he's gay. Nathan goes round to find her, only to find Jase with a beer, who announces that Fi has left for London, and she's not returning; she only hopes that Jase and Nathan can go back to being best friends. Nathan leaves and runs into a lady carrying an empty pet cage; she announces that she has just had her rabbit euthanised, and he hails her a taxi. Jase goes to find Mani, who tells him that he can't be with him; it's over for good. Nathan ends up at the train station, trying to find Fi; a passing train blocks his view of her, and he goes back, depressed, and ends up at the bar, where he runs into the woman with two vaginas, who, he tells her, started this mess.\n\nHowever, in the other set of events, Nathan misses the bus - he trips over some paint cans that are outside on the pavement, ending up covered in pink and white paint and being attacked by Derek, the drug dealer. A woman holding a pet cage containing a rabbit waits for him outside the police station, where he has been let off after she told them he was innocent. He goes for a coffee with her, where she confesses that the bunny belongs to her daughter and it has cancer, so she has taken it to be euthanised; she has lied to her daughter by buying an identical replacement, as, coming out of a divorce, she does not want to cause her daughter any further trauma. Nathan offers to have the rabbit, but the woman insists that they take it to the vet; she cannot go through with it, so Nathan offers to, deciding not to go in, but to take the rabbit with him. Meanwhile, Fi arrives at the hospital to visit Jase, and he proposes to her; she tells him she wants a bit spontaneous proposal, on bent knee or something outrageous, like a nude proposal. Nathan arrives late to Fay's party with the rabbit in tow, and chats with Fay about his life, calming her nerves about the imminent surgery. Nathan calls Fi and they arrange to meet at the bar later. She visits Jase in hospital, tells him she has to say no to the proposal, and confesses she's been seeing Nathan. Mani comforts Jase and tells him he will be there for him, clearly in love with him. Fi meets Nathan at the bar and they confess their love for one another and kiss; they reminisce that it was there that this all started, and they walk past the woman with two vaginas on their way out.\n" "DVD releases" "The complete first series was released on 12 February 2007.\n" "External links" "* BBC Press Release\n* ''Sinchronicity'' at the UK IMDb\n* \n* \n\n\n\n\n\n"
"Six Flags M\u00e9xico" "Introduction" "\n\n\n'''Six Flags M\u00e9xico''' is an amusement park located in the Tlalpan forest and borough, on the southern edge of Mexico City, Mexico. It is owned and operated by Six Flags Inc. and the only Six Flags park operating in Latin America. It is the most visited theme park in Latin America. It was previously known as ''Reino Aventura'' and was a Mexican-owned and run theme park; the orca whale Keiko (featured in the movie ''Free Willy'') was then its principal attraction.\n" "History" "'''Reino Aventura''' (Spanish for \"Adventure Kingdom\") opened its gates in 1982, and is since then the largest theme park in Latin America. The park's mascot was a purple cartoon dragon named '''Cornelio'''. Since its opening, no new attractions were added, thus attendance dropped. In 1992 the park was closed for an extensive remodeling as well as adding new rides, opening once again on July 3, 1993, with the new moniker '''El Nuevo Reino Aventura''' (The New Adventure Kingdom) featuring new rides such as '''R\u00edo Salvaje''' (Wild River, a raft ride), '''Viaje Inesperado''' (Unexpected Trip, a motion simulator) and '''Roller Skater''' (a Vekoma Kiddie Coaster) and Power Tower (Now is Kilahuea) In that same year, the feature film ''Free Willy'' was shot in the park. This attracted numerous animal rights organizations, which pressured the park to free the orca '''Keiko'''. After Keiko left, Cornelio the dragon became once again the Park's official mascot.\n\nIn 1999, Premier Parks bought Reino Aventura for an estimated $59 million. Under new administration, the park's name was officially changed to Six Flags. Twenty new attractions were added to the park, including Batman: The Ride and Medusa, a wooden roller coaster. It opened its gates again on April 11, 2000 as Six Flags M\u00e9xico.\n\nPremier Parks bought the rest of the stocks on Six Flags, and became Six Flags Inc., which is their current name.\nSix Flags M\u00e9xico has the last Vekoma Waikiki Wave Super Flip, named ''Hurricane''. Latest coaster openings in Six Flags M\u00e9xico include ''Superman el \u00daltimo Escape'' (2004), ''Magic Light Parade'' (2008), and ''The Dark Knight'' (2009).\n\nIn 2011, the park opened Terminator X: A Laser Battle for Salvation, an indoor themed laser tag attraction. On September 6, 2012, Six Flags M\u00e9xico announced ''The Joker'' a Gerstlauer spinning coaster for the 2013 season. ''The Joker'' was relocated from Six Flags Discovery Kingdom as Pandemonium from 2008-2012. Also announced is two new events in October and December, Festival del Terror and Christmas in the Park, both starting in 2012. In June 2013, Six Flags M\u00e9xico announced on Facebook that an attraction at the park will be closing at the end of summer 2013. On July 1, 2013, ''Cowboy Stunt Show'' was announce for the park, which will play at The Chinese Theater. On August 29, 2013, Six Flags officially announced the renovation of Medusa to Medusa Steel Coaster that will feature steel tracks and multiple inversions for the 2014 season. On August 28, 2014, it was announced that the park would get a Funtime Starflyer named Skyscreamer in 2015.

"Ski Cape Smokey" "Introduction" "\n\n'''Ski Cape Smokey''' is a ski hill located in the Cape Breton Highlands of Nova Scotia. Ski Cape Smokey offers 16 alpine runs, 2 lifts, hill grooming and snow making. Facilities include a lodge at the base and top of the mountain. The base lodge feature a restaurant, bar, ski school and hill offices. \n\nSki Cape Smokey is known for being Nova Scotia's highest elevation ski mountain at over a 320\u00a0m, 305\u00a0m of it skiable, and for its ocean views. The mountain receives an average of 381\u00a0cm of snowfall annually. However weather is often unpredictable and above freezing.\n\nSince 2002 the ski resort has had continuing financial problems. This issue continues and affects the operation of the area. It suffers from a low population base in the local area and remoteness from major population areas. Sydney is 90 minutes away and Halifax 4.5 hours away. In 2006, the ski hill closed. Many years following that, volunteers from the Ski Cape Smokey Society, a non-profit care taker group, attempted to re-open the resort. After many unsuccessful attempts, Ski Cape Smokey was finally opened February 2011, with very limited parts of the mountain for local skiers using the lower mountain poma lift. Without snow making it cannot operate in the profitable Christmas/New Year holiday period.\n\nFacilities at the hill area are in need of much repair and deteriorating very quickly. The quad chair which has not been run or inspected in many years may require substantial repair at a high cost. The same is true in the neglect of the snow making system which may not be functional and have to be replaced.\n\nMany prospective buyers have done due diligence and inspected the hill, but none are willing to make a commitment to long term operation of the ski center. A search for a permanent solution continues. Permanent closure of the ski hill and sales of the assets is a possibility in the future. \n" "Trails" "*Bunny Hill\n*Country Mile\n*Racer's Edge\n*Heckler's Highway\n*Boomerang\n*Racing Pitch\n*Chicken Chute\n*Round-A-Bout\n*Sneek A Peak\n*Pit Fall\n*Cliff Hanger\n*Check Me Shorts\n*Hickory, Dickory and Dock\n*Far Side\n*Snowboard Alley\n*Choker\n*Powder Mogul Steeps\n" "See also" "*List of ski areas and resorts in Canada\n" "Sources" "* - CBC Reports On 2011 Plans for Smokey\n* - Ski Cape Smokey Statistics\n" "External links" "\n\n\n\n"
"SooperDooperLooper" "Introduction" "\nThe '''SooperDooperLooper''' is a looping roller coaster at Hersheypark. It was designed as a terrain coaster by Werner Stengel, and built by Anton Schwarzkopf.\n" "Elements" "*Vertical loop\n* tunnel\n*Double-up\n" "Rider experience" "SooperDooperLooper's inversion\nThe train leaves the station and immediately makes a slight right turn before proceeding up the lift hill. At the top of the lift hill, the train makes a 180 degree left turn with a small dip, descends a long gentle drop, then enters the vertical loop. It then makes a long, ascending sweeping left turn that travels through the middle of the loop. Next, it traverses a gentle right curve which includes a short tunnel. The ride concludes with a series of bunny hills and a 540-degree right-hand helix. The trains on the SooperDooperLooper seat 2 riders in each row, with each individual rider having their own locking lap bar to hold them in place. This design differs from most other looping roller coasters because it lacks an over-the-head restraint. The tunnel that occurs part-way through the ride used to contain an animatronic spider that would drop down towards the train and scare the riders. The ride opened with three trains, but due to low ridership currently runs with only two.\n" "Additional information" "\nThe ride was considered a \"walk-on\" by enthusiasts due to lines normally not exceeding 2\u20133 minutes, until the ride received two new trains in the year 2012.\n\nSooperDooperLooper is located in the Hollow section of the park, across from Skyrush.\n\nIn October, when Hersheypark is decorated in a Halloween theme (Hersheypark in the Dark), the SooperDooperLooper is dubbed the SooperBOOperLooper.\n\nFor the 2012 season the original Schwarzkopf trains were replaced by trains manufactured by Gerstlauer. The trains were installed by Ride Entertainment Group, who handles all of Gerstlauer's operations in the Western Hemisphere. The brakes were also replaced with a magnetic braking system.\n\nAn On-Ride Photo was installed prior to the 2014 season.\n" "References" "\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n"

"Spaced Out Bunny" "Introduction" "\n\n'''''Spaced Out Bunny''''' is a Warner Bros. cartoon starring Bugs Bunny and Marvin the Martian. The cartoon was part of the television special ''Bugs Bunny's Bustin' Out All Over'' on CBS, which aired May 21, 1980.\n\n''Spaced Out Bunny'' is one of four Bugs Bunny cartoons produced during 1979-1980, the first new shorts since 1964's ''False Hare''. ''Spaced Out Bunny'' would also be the last Warner Brothers-released short to have Mel Blanc voicing Bugs.\n" "Plot" "While walking in a forest, Bugs Bunny wonders aloud how everyone is out to get everyone else; this is illustrated by hostile behavior as Bugs' interacts with, among other things, a rock and a butterfly. He then sees a carrot and begins to eat it, unaware that it is a trap set by Marvin the Martian.\n\nMarvin's purpose for capturing Bugs (with what Marvin explains is an \"ACME Super Rack and Pinion Tranquilizer Carrot\") is to provide a playmate for Hugo the Abominable Snowman (from 1961's ''The Abominable Snow Rabbit''). After Bugs awakens and realizes where he is, Marvin explains his rationale before turning Hugo loose on Bugs (\"Oh no, not again!\" cries Bugs, remembering his earlier encounter with Hugo). Hugo reprises his lines from ''Snow Rabbit'', including his intention to \"hug him and squeeze him and name him George.\" Bugs regains the upper hand on his captors by suggesting to Hugo that he needs a robot; Marvin attempts to make a getaway but Hugo reaches into the spaceship and repeats his \"I will call him George\" lines. When an agitated Marvin demands that Hugo cease his behavior, an angry Hugo spanks Marvin.\n\nBugs then whispers in Hugo's ear, suggesting something that he would be good at. The scene cuts to Hugo's wrist, where he proudly displays his new \"Mickey Martian\" wristwatch. Bugs then climbs into the spacecraft and gets Hugo to practice his Frisbee toss by hurling the ship toward the Earth.\n" "Sources" "* Beck, Jerry and Will Friedwald, \"Looney Tunes and Merrie Melodies: A Complete Illustrated Guide to the Warner Bros.

"Star Wars: The Legacy Revealed" "Introduction" "\n\n'''''Star Wars: The Legacy Revealed''''' (''TLR'') is a TV documentary which premiered on The History Channel in May 2007. It was produced by Prometheus Entertainment in association with The History Channel and Lucasfilm Ltd. The executive producer and director was Emmy Award-winning filmmaker Kevin Burns.\n\nThe special focuses on how ''Star Wars'' is relevant today and the history that inspired it, and also makes various connections to Greek mythology. It consists of a number of interviews with well-known politicians, journalists and critics, along with historical content and clips from all six of the ''Star Wars'' movies.\n" " Synopsis " "The first main subject of the special discusses the origins of films as they were written in the early 1970s, during a time of social unrest and political upheaval. When ''Star Wars'' was released it reaffirmed the notion that there is such a thing as good versus evil and evil must be defeated. The films made use of Joseph Campbell's model of the hero's journey as discussed in the book ''The Hero With a Thousand Faces''.\n\nIn ''Star Wars'', two characters embark on the hero's journey, Anakin Skywalker and his son Luke. Luke starts out as a nobody much like Dorothy, Harry Potter and King Arthur, and what he needs is a call to adventure. Luke would reject the call as did Moses, but after the violent murder of his aunt and uncle he resolves to go. The Cantina scene is what Joseph Campbell referred to as the threshold crossing, meaning that you're no longer at home and your journey will be a dangerous one.\n\nYoda, Obi-Wan Kenobi and Qui-Gon Jinn represent the importance of the hero's need for a mentor. They discuss the etymology of the word ''mentor'', coming from the name of Mentor, who watched over Odysseus's son Telemachus. It says that a key element to the mentor is that they give the hero a gift. In Luke Skywalker's case, it is Obi-Wan giving him a lightsaber. The hero gives his life to stop evil. The importance of the Force is another topic, saying that any religious background can associate, and it is basically believing in something higher, and that everything has a purpose. The mentor cannot stay forever, and it is crucial that they do not stay to help. Yet, the mentor is still within. This is shown by Obi-Wan's downfall in the hands of Darth Vader, but Obi-Wan is still there inside of Luke.\n\nThe hero relies on the friendship of others. The show includes comparing Jabba the Hutt to a dragon, where he steals the damsel in distress. The planet of Naboo is spoken of in reference of Nabu, the Queen of Wisdom in Babylon. Padm\u00e9 Amidala, who is from Naboo (pronounced the same as the God), is also said to be \"the Queen of Wisdom\". Luke and Leia are said to be like Apollo and Artemis.\n\nAnother large portion of the special was focused on Han Solo. Han Solo's name represents him, Solo meaning \"one\". Unlike other characters, who were based on mythical archetypes, he is seen more as a wild west outlaw because he personifies independence, self-reliance, and depends on no one but himself. In some parts of the ''Star Wars'' saga, it might seem like a Wild West town, where no one cares what happens as long as it is cleaned up. Tom Brokaw describes the series as a \"Western in the future\".\n\nThere's one part that discusses the need for companions and faithful followers. The comic relief of ''Star Wars'' is R2-D2 and C-3PO. The two robots are compared to Abbott & Costello, Laurel & Hardy and Tom & Jerry. Jar Jar Binks, the childlike innocent, grows up throughout the films and gains responsibility, allowing for children to connect to him. They have been influenced by such classic cartoon characters as Mickey Mouse, Donald Duck, Bugs Bunny, Daffy Duck and Porky Pig.\n\nThe journey of a hero is also of large importance. The hero must undergo tests that will make him stronger, sometimes having to face their worst fears or confront their nightmares. The extent to which Lucas used ideas from mythologist Joseph Campbell is discussed by Jonathan Young of the Campbell Archives.\n\nFor every hero, it says, there must be a villain. Darth Vader is portrayed as the ruthless enforcer. Confronting the villain is a critical part of the hero's journey. The show says that there is a dramatic regard and excitement to choosing evil over good. When Palpatine tempts Anakin with power, it is like the serpent tempting Eve with the apple. When Anakin succumbs to the Dark Side, it is like the man who sells his soul to the devil. This is also compared to John Milton's Paradise Lost, where Lucifer, a good Angel, wages war on Heaven and is cast out, forcing him to his own place in Hell. The battle on Mustafar symbolises an apocalyptic atmosphere and mirrors Anakin internally. When he has no humanity left and becomes the mechanical monster of Darth Vader, it is said to be like Frankenstein's Monster.\n\n''Star Wars'' also reflects a cycle in our own history, the fall of the Republic and the rise of Dictators and corruption in government. Palpatine seizes power gradually, and is compared to Adolf Hitler and Saddam Hussein. The Republic is shown as the Roman Empire, such as pod races being similar to chariot races. Citizens indulge in rituals of sacrifice and slaughter as well as gladiatorial combat. Palpatine's story reflects that of Napoleon. Another big part states that society is in a continual process of construction and self-destruction.\n\n''The Legacy Revealed'' shows many connections between the Nazis and the Empire. Examples shown are that Vader's own troops, Stormtroopers, share the same name with Hitler's. The black, white, and red used in many scenes with the Empire are the same colors of the swastika, and that Darth Vader's helmet is similar to that of the German Army's. The Republic also embraced diversity, while the Empire did not. There are no women in the Empire, showing that there is no purity or life.\n\nAccording to the show, the Rebels win in the end because of their trust in something else, in themselves, rather than technology. This is illustrated when Luke turns off his targeting computer during the attack on the Death Star and uses the force to guide him. In the end, there's a Christian-like redemptive moment, where Luke overturns the Dark Side and brings salvation to his father. Once Vader dies, Luke burns his body on a pyre, like in ''The Iliad'' where Priam burns Hector's body.\n\nThe last scenes of the show feature a few politicians. They talk of people that join together for a common goal and power always belongs to the people. ''Star Wars'' is then said that even though there are strong mythological influences in it, it becomes a mythology all its own.\n" " Featured interviews " "* J.J.

"Stephen Short" "Introduction" "\n\n\nShort manages the popular indie act thumb\n\n'''Stephen Short''' (died 2015) was a Grammy Award\u2013winning record producer and operated Ping Pong Music, an artist management company. Many songs he had worked on went on to become chart-topping singles that had won Grammy Awards, Academy Awards, and Golden Globe Awards.\n" " 1977\u20131991: Early years " "Stephen Short started his career in the music industry in 1977 at Trident Studios in London, UK. Working with musicians such as Kirk Allen and his band Elixir, Echo & the Bunnymen, Genesis, Paul McCartney, Peter Gabriel, Queen and Wings, Short went from being a teaboy to becoming senior engineer within two years. One of his earliest production credits is the 1978 Donna Summer song Last Dance, which he had mixed and had contributed his own back-up vocals. The song went on to win an Academy Award and a Golden Globe for Best Original Song. In 1980, at the age of 24, Short created an investment group with three other investors and purchased Trident Studios. Employing a staff of thirty people, Short and his team became some of the most sought-after producers and engineers in the music industry.\n" " 1992\u20132000: Shift to US production " "In early 1992, Short was invited to the United States to discuss the possibility of opening a US branch of Trident Studios. Following several meetings, Short decided to rather focus on production and to move on from the studio ownership business. After spending a brief amount of time in Los Angeles, CA, Short traveled across the United States answering requests to become involved in many different musical projects. During this phase of his career, Short worked with popular musicians such as Remy Zero as well as Phil Collins. Short has been awarded a Grammy for his work with the Christian band dc Talk and another Grammy for his work with Chaka Kahn. Over the years, Stephen continued producing for major labels such as Epic Records, Capitol Records, and many others. In 1997, the band Ben Folds Five released the song \"Steven's Last Night in Town\", which is based on Stephen Short's friendship with Ben Folds.\n" " 2001\u20132015: Artist Management " "Identifying a need to develop and nurture young artists, Short formed a production & management company. In 2001, Short signed a band he discovered and managed called Limousine to Jimmy Iovine of Interscope Records. Eighteen months later, Short discovered a group called Augustana, and signed them a 2 million dollar deal with Sony and EMI publishing. In the mid to late 2000s, Short had developed more emerging artists including This World Fair and Camera Can't Lie.\n" " Death " "In the summer of 2015, Short announced he had been battling colon cancer for two years.

"Stoned (computer virus)" "Introduction" "\n\n'''Stoned''' is the name of a boot sector computer virus created in 1987. It is one of the very first viruses and is thought to have been written by a university student in Wellington, New Zealand. By 1989 it had spread widely in New Zealand and Australia, and variants became very common worldwide in the early 1990s.\n\nA computer infected with the original version had a one in eight probability that the screen would declare: ''\"Your PC is now Stoned!\"'', a phrase found in infected boot sectors of infected floppy disks and master boot records of infected hard disks, along with the phrase ''\"Legalise Marijuana\"''. Later variants produced a range of other messages.\n" "Original version" "The original \"Your computer is now stoned. Legalise Marijuana\" was thought to have been written by a university student in Wellington, New Zealand.\n\nThis initial version appears to have been written by someone with experience only with IBM PC 360KB floppy drives, as it misbehaves on the IBM AT 1.2MB floppy, or on systems with more than 96 files in the root directory. On higher capacity disks, such as 1.2 MB disks, the original boot sector may overwrite a portion of the directory.\n\nOn hard disks, the original master boot record is moved to cylinder 0, head 0, sector 7. On floppy disks, the original boot sector is moved to cylinder 0, head 1, sector 3, which is the last directory sector on 360\u00a0kB disks. The virus will \"safely\" overwrite the boot sector if the root directory has no more than 96 files.\n\nThe PC was typically infected by booting from an infected diskette. Computers, at the time, would default to booting from the A: diskette drive if it had a diskette. The virus was spread when a floppy diskette was accessed with an infected computer. That diskette was now, itself, a source for further spread of the virus. This was much like a recessive gene - difficult to eliminate - because a user could have any number of infected diskettes and yet not have their systems infected with the virus unless they inadvertently boot from an infected diskette. Cleaning the computer without cleaning all diskettes left the user susceptible to a repeat infection. The method also furthered the spread of the virus in that borrowed diskettes, if placed into the system, were now able to carry the virus to a new host.\n" "Variants" "The virus image is very easily modified (patched); in particular a person with no knowledge of programming can alter the message displayed. Many variants of Stoned circulated, some only with different messages.\n\n===Beijing, Bloody!===\nThe virus has the string \"Bloody! Jun. 4, 1989\". On this date, the Tiananmen Square protests were suppressed by the People's Republic of China.\n\n===Swedish Disaster===\nThe virus has the string \"The Swedish Disaster\".\n\n===Manitoba===\nManitoba has no activation routine and does not store the original boot sector on floppies; Manitoba simply overwrites the original boot sector. 2.88MB EHD floppies are corrupted by the virus.\n\nManitoba uses 2KB memory while resident.\n\n===NoInt, Bloomington, Stoned III===\nNoInt tries to stop programs from detecting it. This causes read errors if the computer tries to access the partition table. Systems infected with NoInt have a decrease of 2 kB in base memory.\n\n===Flame, Stamford===\nA variant of Stoned was called Flame (later unrelated sophisticated malware was given the same name). The early Flame uses 1 kB of DOS memory. It stores the original boot sector or master boot record at cylinder 25, head 1, sector 1 regardless of the media.\n\nFlame saves the current month of the system when it is infected. When the month changes, Flame displays colored flames on the screen and overwrites the master boot record.\n\n===Angelina===\nAngelina has stealth mechanisms. On hard disks, the original master boot record is moved to cylinder 0, head 0, sector 9.\n\nAngelina contains the following embedded text, not displayed by the virus: \"Greetings from ANGELINA!!!/by Garfield/Zielona Gora\" (Zielona G\u00f3ra is a town in Poland).\n* In October 1995 Angelina was discovered in new factory-sealed Seagate Technology 5850 (850MB) IDE drives.\n\n* In 2007 a batch of Medion laptops sold through the Aldi supermarket chain appeared to be infected with Angelina. A Medion press release explained that the virus was not really present, rather, it was a spurious warning caused by a bug in the pre-installed antivirus software, Bullguard. A patch was released to fix the error.\n\n===Other variants===\n\n*Zapper\n*Sanded\n*June 4.a\n*Sex Revolution 1.1 and 2\n*Rostov\n*Stoned-8\n*Stoned-16\n*Stoned.16.a\n*Stoned.2(b)\n*Damien\n*Bravo\n*Laodung\n*Noint (Bloomington)\n*Azusa.a\n*Bunny.a\n*Dani ela\n*Dinamo Empire.INT.10.b\n*Standard.a\n*Lzr\n*Empire.Monkey.a\n*Empire.Monkey.b\n*Kiev\n*NOP\n*Manitoba\n*W-Boot\n*Michelangelo.a\n*No INT.a\n\n\nSeveral other variants include:\n\n*Teraz\n* b, c, d, e\n*Sonus\n*Nulls\n*Donald\n*Flushed\n*In love\n*stoned-floppy\n*Mexican\n*WD1 to WD7.\n\n" "Bitcoin Block Chain Incident" "\nOn May 15, 2014, the signature of the Stoned virus was inserted into the bitcoin blockchain. This caused Microsoft Security Essentials to recognize the block chain as the virus, prompting it to remove the file in question, and subsequently forcing the node to reload the block chain from that point, continuing the cycle.\n\nOnly the signature of the virus had been inserted into the blockchain; the virus itself was not there, and if it were, it would not be able to function.\n\nThe situation was averted shortly thereafter, as Microsoft had prevented the block chain from being recognized as Stoned.

"Surrey County Cricket Club" "Introduction" "\nSurrey's home ground the Oval, overlooked by the famous gasholders.\n\n\n\n\n'''Surrey County Cricket Club''' is one of eighteen first-class county clubs within the domestic cricket structure of England and Wales. It represents the historic county of Surrey. The club's limited overs team is called \"Surrey\" (unlike other counties' teams it has no official nickname). Surrey teams formed from 1709 by earlier organisations always had senior status and so the county club is rated accordingly from inception: i.e., classified by substantial sources as holding important match status from 1845 to 1894; classified as an ''official'' first-class team from 1895 by Marylebone Cricket Club (MCC) and the County Championship clubs; classified as a List A team since the beginning of limited overs cricket in 1963; and classified as a senior Twenty20 team since 2003.\n\nHome of the club since its foundation in 1845 has been the Oval (currently known officially as the 'Kia Oval' following a sponsorship deal with the Kia Motors company), in the Kennington area of Lambeth in south London. The club also has an 'out ground' at Woodbridge Road, Guildford, where some home games are played each season.\n\nSurrey CCC has had three notable periods of great success in its history. The club was unofficially proclaimed as \"Champion County\" seven times during the 1850s; it won the title eight times from 1887 to 1895 (including the first ever officially constituted County Championship in 1890); and seven consecutive outright titles from 1952 to 1958 inclusive following a shared title (with Lancashire) in 1950. In 1955, Surrey won 23 of its 28 county matches, a record that still stands and can no longer be bettered as counties have played fewer than 23 matches each season since 1993. To date, Surrey has won the official County Championship 18 times outright, more than any other county with the exception of Yorkshire.\n\nThe club's traditional badge is the Prince of Wales's feathers. In 1915, Lord Rosebery obtained permission to use this symbol from the Prince of Wales, hereditary owner of the land on which the Oval stands.\n" "Honours" "\n===First XI===\n* '''Champion County (2)''' \u2013 1887, 1888; '''shared (1) \u2013 '''1889\n* '''County Championship (18) \u2013 '''1890, 1891, 1892, 1894, 1895, 1899, 1914, 1952, 1953, 1954, 1955, 1956, 1957, 1958, 1971, 1999, 2000, 2002; '''shared (1) \u2013 '''1950\n** '''Division Two (2)''' \u2013 2006, 2015\n* '''FP Trophy'''''' (1) \u2013 '''1982\n* '''Clydesdale Bank 40 (1) \u2013 '''2011\n* '''NatWest Pro40 League'''''' (2) \u2013 '''1996, 2003\n** '''Division Two (1)''' \u2013 2000\n* '''Twenty20 Cup (1) \u2013 '''2003\n* '''Benson and Hedges Cup (3) \u2013 '''1974, 1997, 2001\n\n===Second XI===\n* '''Second XI Championship (6) \u2013''' 1966, 1968, 1975, 1988, 1992, 2009\n* '''Second XI Trophy (1) \u2013''' 2001\n* '''Minor Counties Cricket Championship (4) \u2013''' 1939, 1950, 1954, 1955\n\n\n" "History" "\n===Earliest cricket in the county===\n:''For more information about cricket in Surrey before the formation of Surrey CCC, see History of cricket to 1725 and Surrey county cricket teams.''\n\nIt is widely believed that cricket was invented by children living on the Weald in Saxon or Norman times and that the game very soon reached neighbouring Surrey. Although not the game's birthplace, Surrey does claim the honour of being the location of its first definite mention in print. Evidence from a January 1597 (Julian calendar - 1598 in the Gregorian calendar) court case confirms that ''creckett'' was played by schoolboys on a certain plot of land in Guildford around 1550. In 1611, King James I gave to his eldest son, Henry, Prince of Wales, the manors of Kennington and Vauxhall, where the home ground of Surrey \u2013 the Oval \u2013 is today. To this day, the Prince of Wales's feathers feature on the cricket club's badge.\n\nCricket became well established in Surrey during the 17th century and the earliest village matches took place before the English Civil War. It is believed that the earliest county teams were formed in the aftermath of the Restoration in 1660. The earliest known first-class match in Surrey was Croydon v London at Croydon on 1 July 1707. In 1709, the earliest known inter-county match took place between Kent and Surrey at Dartford Brent with \u00a350 at stake. Surrey would continue to play cricket against other representative teams from that time onwards. Probably its greatest players during the underarm era were the famous bowler Lumpy Stevens and the wicket-keeper/batsman William Yalden, who both belonged to the Chertsey club.\n\n===Formation and dominance in embryonic years of county cricket (1845\u20131864)===\nSurrey CCC was founded on the evening of 22 August 1845 at the Horns Tavern in Kennington, South London, where around 100 representatives of various cricket clubs in Surrey agreed a motion put by William Denison (the club's first secretary) \"that a Surrey club be now formed\". A further meeting at the Tavern on 18 October 1845 formally constituted the club, appointed officers and began enrolling members. A lease on Kennington Oval, a former market garden, was obtained by a Mr Houghton from the Duchy of Cornwall. Mr Houghton was of the old Montpelier Cricket Club, 70 members of which formed the nucleus of the new Surrey County club. The Honourable Fred Ponsonby, later the Earl of Bessborough was the first vice-president.\n\nSurrey's inaugural first-class match was against the MCC at the Oval at the end of May, 1846. The club's first inter-county match, against Kent, was held at the Oval the following month and Surrey emerged victorious by ten wickets. However, the club did not do well that year, despite the extra public attractions at the Oval of a Walking Match and a Poultry Show. By the start of the 1847 season the club was \u00a370 in debt and there was a motion to close. Ponsonby proposed that 6 life members be created for a fee of \u00a312 each. His motion was duly passed, and the club survived. The threat of construction on the Oval was also successfully dispelled in 1848 thanks to the intervention of Prince Albert.\n\nIn 1854, Surrey secured a new 21-year lease on their home ground and Surrey went on to enjoy an exceptionally successful decade. being \u201cChampion County\u201d seven times from 1850 to 1859 and again in 1864. In 1857, all nine matches played by the county resulted in victory. This was the time of great players like William Caffyn, Julius Caesar, HH Stephenson and Tom Lockyer, and a fine captain in Frederick Miller. An incident in 1862, at the instigation of Edgar Willsher in a match between Surrey and England, led to the introduction of overarm bowling into cricket.\n\n===Decline and collapse (1866\u20131882)===\nFollowing a brilliant season in 1864 when the team won eight and drew three of its eleven first-class matches, Surrey went into free-fall in the latter half of the 1860s, owing to the decline of key players Caesar, Stephenson and Mortlock and a puzzling inability to find quality bowlers to support the incomparable James Southerton, whose combination with wicket-keeper Ted Pooley virtually carried the team. Although Southerton broke many bowling records and Harry Jupp developed into the most prolific scorer among professional batsmen, Surrey\u2019s record in purely county matches during the seventeen seasons from 1866 to 1882 was 59 victories, 107 losses, two ties and 37 drawn games. The team bottomed out in 1871 when they did not win a single county match for the only time until 2008. Southerton, except in 1872 when fast bowler James Street helped him to win seven of twelve games, had no adequate support in bowling after underarm left-arm spinner George Griffith declined, and except when Richard Humphrey achieved prominence in 1872 the batting depended almost entirely on Jupp. The fielding was also generally below the standard expected of first-class cricket.\n\nThe appointment of renowned sports administrator Charles Alcock as secretary of the club \u2013 a paid position for the first time \u2013 in 1872 coincided with an improved performance, but despite qualification rules being changed so that Southerton played every game for the county (up to 1872 he did not play whenever Sussex, the county of his birth, had a match on) Surrey declined to a lowly record in 1873. As mainstays Jupp and Southerton declined from 1875, matters were ameliorated by the discovery of class amateur batsmen in Bunny Lucas, Walter Read and William Game, but apart from 1877 Surrey never won half as many games as they lost and the inadequacy of the bowling on flat Oval pitches was a severe handicap.\n\n===Dominance in the early years of the Championship (1883\u20131899)===\nIn 1880, although the county\u2019s record remained bad, Surrey began to make the steps that would return them to the top of the table with the appointment of John Shuter as captain and of Walter Read \u2013 established as a class batsman but previously available only in August \u2013 as assistant secretary. The death of Southerton and retirement of other veterans paved the way for new talent in Maurice Read, William Roller, left-arm spinner Edward Barratt and pace bowler Charles Horner to lay a foundation for long-term success in the middle 1880s. With the rapid rise of George Lohmann in 1885, Surrey challenged for the unofficial title of Champion County for the first time in twenty years; then, by winning 32 of 42 matches in 1887, 1888 and 1889, Surrey were first or equal first in the final three years before official County Champions emerged.\n\nSurrey then won official County Championship titles in 1890\u20131892 under John Shuter. After a disappointing season in 1893 when their batting failed on Oval pitches rendered fiery by several dry winters and springs, Kingsmill Key took over and led Surrey to further titles in 1894, 1895 and 1899. Leading players in these years were batsman Bobby Abel and a trio of top bowlers: George Lohmann, Bill Lockwood and Tom Richardson. In 1899, Abel's unbeaten 357 helped Surrey to a mammoth total of 811 against Somerset; both scores remain club records over 100 years later.\n\n===Limited success in the Hobbs era (1900\u20131939)===\nSurrey's all-time top scorer Jack Hobbs.\nThe start of the 20th century brought a decline in Surrey's fortunes, and they won the title only once during the next fifty years, in 1914. At the request of Surrey's captain Lord Dalmeny, the Prince of Wales (later Edward VIII) allowed the use of his feathers on the club badge. The club's most famous player was Jack Hobbs, who began playing for the county in 1905, and he had a notable opening partner till 1914 in Tom Hayward, who scored 3,518 runs in all first-class cricket in 1906, equalled C.B. Fry's record of 13 centuries in a season and, in one six-day period, scored two centuries at Trent Bridge and two more at Leicester. He scored his hundredth hundred at the Oval in 1913. Between the two world wars, Surrey often had a good side, but it tended to be stronger in batting than in bowling; Hobbs played until 1934 with another good opening partner in Andrew Sandham. Hobbs scored more runs (61,760) and compiled more centuries (199) in first-class cricket than any other player in the history of the game. In recognition of his contribution to the team, the eponymous Jack Hobbs Gates were inaugurated at the Oval.\n\nThe side was not completely bereft of quality in the bowling department, however: Alf Gover took 200 wickets in both 1936 and 1937, a fine achievement for a fast bowler on the flat Oval track. The Oval pitches of this period tended to be very good for batting, and many matches were drawn. The club captain for much of this period was the affable and bohemian Percy Fender, whose closest colleague was the England captain of Bodyline fame (or infamy), Douglas Jardine. In 1938, Surrey played a home match away from the Oval for the first time, at Woodbridge Road in Guildford. After 1939, cricket took a break as the Second World War occupied the nation and the Oval was seized for Government use.\n\n===Post-war domination (1945\u20131958)===\nFrom 1948 to 1959, Surrey were the pre-eminent English county team, finishing either first or second in the county championship in 10 seasons out of 12. They finished runners-up in 1948, shared the championship with Lancashire in 1950, won seven consecutive outright titles from 1952 to 1958, and were runners-up again in 1959. Their margins of victory were usually large. For example, Yorkshire were runners-up in 1952 but finished 32 points behind.\n\nTheir great success was built on a remarkably strong bowling attack, with Test seamer Alec Bedser supported by the outstanding spin duo of Tony Lock and Jim Laker, the latter widely regarded as one of the finest ever orthodox off-spinners. Lock and Laker made the most of Oval pitches, which were receptive to spin, but the club's success was also due to the positive and attacking captaincy of Stuart Surridge, who won the title in all five years of his leadership from 1952 to 1956. The team fielded extremely well and a feature was some brilliant close catching. The team had excellent batsmen, especially the elegant Peter May, and the determined and combative Ken Barrington.\n\n===Famine and feast of glory (1959\u20132004)===\nOver the next forty years to 1998, Surrey won the County Championship only once, in 1971 during the career of England opener John Edrich and under the captaincy of Micky Stewart, but more success was achieved in the shorter form of the game. In 1969, Surrey employed their first overseas player: the popular Pakistani leg break bowler Intikhab Alam. In addition to Intikhab, the Surrey attack in their Championship-winning side possessed four current or future England Test cricketers in Geoff Arnold, Robin Jackman, Bob Willis and Pat Pocock. Edrich was subsequently appointed captain in 1973 and led Surrey to second position in the County Championship in his first year in charge and then secured Surrey their first limited overs silverware the following year with victory in the Benson and Hedges Cup. Edrich's replacement as captain, Roger Knight, led Surrey to NatWest Trophy glory at Lord's in 1982. Following Intikhab Alam, other overseas players to appear for the county included the talented New Zealand batsman Geoff Howarth and two very fearsome fast bowlers, the West Indian Sylvester Clarke and the Pakistani Waqar Younis.\n\nFollowing a relative drought of success, and with growing concern over the club's internal structure, the club's members forced a Special General Meeting in 1995. A change of fortunes soon followed, as new captain Alec Stewart \u2013 son of Micky \u2013 led the team to the Sunday League title in 1996. This proved to be the catalyst for further success under the captaincy of Adam Hollioake and the influence of Keith Medlycott, who was county coach from 1997 to 2003. County Championship triumphs in 1999, 2000 and 2002 were complemented with Benson and Hedges Cup victories in 1997 and 2001, a National League Division Two title in 2000 and the inaugural Twenty20 Cup in 2003. This was in spite of the tragic death of the highly talented all-rounder Ben Hollioake, Adam Hollioake's younger brother, who was involved in a fatal car accident in early 2002. That same year, Ali Brown posted what remains today a world record List A score of 268 against Glamorgan at the Oval, beating Graeme Pollock's former records score in the first of his two one-day double hundreds for Surrey. Adam Hollioake retired after the 2004 season.\n\n===Recent years (2005\u2013present)===\nCurrent player Jade Dernbach runs up to bowl against Sussex at the County Ground in Hove in the 2008 Twenty20 Cup.\nThe run of success came to an end in 2005, when an ageing Surrey team was relegated to Division Two of the Championship, but an immediate recovery took place in 2006 as Surrey won promotion as champions of Division Two. However, they were once again relegated to Division Two in 2008, failing to win a single game for the first time since 1871 and losing their last two games by an innings. Despite the end of a successful period, Surrey did post a List A world record score of 496\u20134 from 50 overs, the first of which was a maiden, against Gloucestershire at the Oval on 29 April 2007; Ali Brown top scored with 176 from just 97 deliveries.\n\nThe 2000s saw the retirement of club legends Alec Stewart, Mark Butcher, Graham Thorpe and Martin Bicknell, who all represented England, as well as Saqlain Mushtaq who played for Pakistan. Another England player in Mark Ramprakash had joined Surrey in 2001 and, despite the club's travails, became the nineteenth player to pass 15,000 first-class runs for the county, doing so at an average of over 70. Surrey did not threaten to achieve a return to Division One of the County Championship after their relegation, or to win either 40-over competition until 2011. However, the club did have more luck in the Twenty20 Cup following victory in 2003, reaching finals day in 2004, 2005 and 2006, but failing to win the competition. 2011 saw a revival in the team's fortunes. They achieved a return to Division One of the County Championship by the margin of a single point, as they won their final four games of the season. They also won the CB40 competition.\n\nAfter narrowly avoiding relegation in 2012 (a season greatly overshadowed by the death of young batsman Tom Maynard in June in tragic circumstances), Surrey finished bottom of the Division One table the following year, and the Cricket Manager, Chris Adams, was sacked during the course of the season. Under the new management team of Alec Stewart, appointed Director of Cricket, and Graham Ford, recruited before the 2014 season to be Head Coach, they won the Division Two title in 2015 and were also beaten finalists in the Royal London Cup. In January 2016 it was announced that Ford had left to rejoin Sri Lanka as head coach. Michael Di Venuto took over as Head Coach for the 2016 season and after a poor start, with Surrey bottom of Division One after seven games, the team had a strong finish to the season, finishing in the middle of the Championship and again runners-up in the Royal London Cup.\n" " Badge, colours and name " "Surrey's badge has featured the Prince of Wales's feathers since 1915, when Lord Rosebery successfully requested permission for their use. Surrey's historical link to the Prince of Wales dates back to the birth of the club, which was only made possible by the agreement of the Prince of Wales to allow his tenants at Kennington Oval to sub-let the ground for the purposes of cricket.\n\nThe club's official colour is chocolate brown. In first-class cricket, Surrey traditionally wear a brown cricket cap along with their cricket whites. Batsmen wear a brown helmet. The first-class kit and kit worn in the Friends Life t20 and CB40 competitions are currently manufactured by the Under Armour sportswear brand, while club sponsors Kia Motors's logo appears across the front of the shirt.\n\nIn common with all other counties, Surrey's one-day sides have worn a variety of different coloured kits over the years. Currently, they wear predominantly black shirts with 'fluro blue' decoration. This replaced the 40-over black shirts with 'fluro green' piping and white patches and the 20-over 'fluro green' and black designs of 2010 and 2011. The limited overs teams were called Surrey Lions before a name change for the 2006 season to Surrey Brown Caps, but another switch saw them revert to Surrey Lions. In 2012 they dropped the \"Lions\" and were called simply Surrey. The side wore navy blue and sky blue in 2004 in both forms of the limited overs game and stuck with these colours in 2005. 2007 saw the light blue replaced by Surrey's traditional brown in the 40-over game, before the darker shade of blue turned to gold in 2008 to produce a gold and brown combination, while silver and brown were preferred for Twenty20 contests. White, red and sky blue were worn by the side featuring Mark Butcher and Adam Hollioake around the start of the 21st century.\n" " Grounds " "The OCS Stand as pictured from the Bedser Stand\n \n\n\nSurrey have played the overwhelming majority of their home matches at the Oval. It holds 23,500 people and is the third largest cricket ground in England, after Edgbaston's recent expansion in capacity. The Oval was first leased by the club in 1845 from the Duchy of Cornwall and it remains so to this day. The ground has hosted Surrey matches since its opening in 1846 and it staged all but two Surrey home matches between 1846 and 1938. By tradition, it generally holds the last Test of the English summer in late August or early September.\n\nSurrey also play at the Sports Ground, Woodbridge Road, Guildford, which holds 4,500 spectators. This is known as an 'out-ground' and currently hosts one County Championship match and one Pro40 match each season. All other home matches are played at the Oval.\n\nSurrey have played home matches at fifteen different grounds in total since their inception.

The match generally draws the biggest crowds of the season for either team. In first-class cricket, Surrey have won more of the 256 London derbies than Middlesex, but the commonest result is the draw, while Middlesex have the slight edge in one-day cricket with 28 wins to Surrey's 26.

However, despite its reputation as an aggressively commercial club, this reputation took a hit with the club announcing pre-tax losses of \u00a3502,000 for the 2010 financial year, as turnover dropped by 20% to \u00a320.5m. The club had previously benefited from a sunnier balance sheet due to the sale of ground naming rights and the re-development of the Vauxhall End at the Oval. In the 2008 financial year, a year when the Club did not win a single match in the Second Division Championship, Surrey had achieved pre-tax profits of \u00a3583,000 with a turnover of approaching \u00a324\u00a0million, as membership swelled to 10,113. Record profit and turnover were announced for 2009 thanks to the staging of international cricket matches with the figures growing to \u00a3752,000 and \u00a325.5\u00a0million, respectively.\n\n===Sponsorship===\nSurrey have maintained a number of relationship with sponsors over the years. The most prominent today are Korean car manufacturer Kia Motors and kit manufacturers Adidas. Kia holds a shirt and ground sponsorship agreement with the club at the value of \u00a33.5m over five years, which represents some improvement on the \u00a3250,000 received from Australian financial corporation AMP Limited and the \u00a31,500,000-a-year deal with Brit plc that followed. The club also holds arrangements with various other partners, such as Marston's Pedigree and BBC London 94.9.\n\n\n\nPeriod\nKit manufacturer\nShirt sponsor\nOval name\n\n1989\u20131998\n\n\nThe Foster's Oval\n\n1998\u20131999\n\nComputacenter\n\n2000\nExito\n\n2001\nThe AMP Oval\n\n2002\nAMP Limited\n\n2003\nRAC\n\n2004\u20132010\nSurridge Sport\nBrit Insurance\nThe Brit Oval\n\n2010\nProstar Sports\nKia\nThe Kia Oval\n\n2011\u20132012\nMKK Sports\n\n2013\u20132014\nSurridge Sport \n\n2015-2016\nUnder Armour\n\n2016-\nAdidas\n\n\n\n\n" " Players " "\n=== Current squad ===\n\n* No. denotes the player's squad number, as worn on the back of their shirt.\n* denotes players with international caps.\n* denotes a player who has been awarded a county cap.\n\n\n No.\n Name\n Nat\n Birth date\n Batting Style\n Bowling Style\n Notes\n\n Batsmen\n\n 10 \n Arun Harinath* \n \n \n Left-handed \n Right arm off break \n\n\n 11 \n Kumar Sangakkara*\u00a0 \n \n \n Left-handed \n Right arm off break \n Overseas player\n\n 17 \n Rory Burns* \n \n \n Left-handed \n Right arm medium \n Vice-captain\n\n 20 \n Jason Roy*\u00a0 \n \n \n Right-handed \n Right-arm medium \n England white-ball contract\n\n 21 \n Aaron Finch\u00a0 \n \n \n Right-handed \n Slow left-arm orthodox \n Overseas player\n\n 45 \n Dominic Sibley \n \n \n Right-handed \n Right arm leg break \n\n\n \u2014 \n Mark Stoneman \n \n \n Left-handed \n Right arm off break \n\n\n All-rounders\n\n 8 \n James Burke \n \n \n Right-handed \n Right-arm medium-fast \n Out on loan at Leicestershire\n\n 13 \n Gareth Batty*\u00a0 \n \n \n Right-handed \n Right arm off break \n Club captain\n\n 22 \n Zafar Ansari*\u00a0 \n \n \n Left-handed \n Slow left-arm orthodox \n\n\n 58 \n Sam Curran \n \n \n Left-handed \n Left-arm fast medium \n\n\n \u2014 \n Scott Borthwick\u00a0 \n \n \n Left-handed \n Right-arm leg break \n\n\n Wicket-keepers\n\n 7 \n Ben Foakes* \n \n \n Right-handed \n \u2014 \n\n\n 32 \n Ollie Pope \n \n \n Right-handed \n \u2014 \n\n\n Bowlers\n\n 4 \n Matt Dunn \n \n \n Left-handed \n Right arm fast \n\n\n 5 \n Freddie van den Bergh \n \n \n Right-handed \n Slow left-arm orthodox \n\n\n 6 \n Mark Footitt \n \n \n Right-handed \n Left-arm fast-medium \n\n\n 16 \n Jade Dernbach*\u00a0 \n \n \n Right-handed \n Right arm fast-medium \n\n\n 18 \n Stuart Meaker*\u00a0 \n \n \n Right-handed \n Right arm fast-medium \n\n\n 19 \n Amar Virdi \n \n \n Right-handed \n Right-arm off break \n \n\n 33 \n Mathew Pillans \n \n \n Right-handed \n Right-arm fast \n British visa\n\n 59 \n Tom Curran* \n \n \n Right-handed \n Right-arm fast-medium \n\n\n 77 \n Ravi Rampaul\u00a0 \n \n \n Left-handed \n Right-arm fast-medium \n Kolpak Player\n\n \u2014 \n Conor McKerr \n \n \n Right-handed \n Right-arm fast \n British passport\n\n\n=== Notable former players ===\n\nThe following cricketers have made 200 or more appearances for Surrey in first-class, List A and Twenty20 cricket combined. \n\n\n\n* Bobby Abel\n* Geoff Arnold\n* Tom Barling\n* Ken Barrington\n* Jonathan Batty\n* Alec Bedser\n* Eric Bedser\n* Joey Benjamin\n* Darren Bicknell\n* Martin Bicknell\n* Bill Brockwell\n* Ted Brooks\n* Ali Brown\n* Alan Butcher\n* Mark Butcher\n* Sylvester Clarke\n* Tom Clark\n* Grahame Clinton\n* Bernard Constable\n* Andy Ducat\n* John Edrich\n\n* Mike Edwards\n* Percy Fender\n* Mark Feltham\n* Laurie Fishlock\n* David Fletcher\n* David Gibson\n* Alf Gover\n* Bob Gregory\n* Ian Greig\n* George Griffith\n* Ernie Hayes\n* Tom Hayward\n* Bill Hitch\n* Jack Hobbs\n* Fred Holland\n* Adam Hollioake\n* Geoff Howarth\n* Thomas Humphrey\n* Intikhab Alam\n* Robin Jackman\n* Harry Jupp\n\n* Kingsmill Key\n* Roger Knight\n* Jim Laker\n* Walter Lees\n* Peter Loader\n* Tony Lock\n* Bill Lockwood\n* Arnold Long\n* Arthur McIntyre\n* Peter May\n* Scott Newman\n* Jack Parker\n* Alan Peach\n* Pat Pocock\n* Ted Pooley\n* Mark Ramprakash\n* Maurice Read\n* Walter Read\n* Jack Richards\n* Tom Richardson\n* Graham Roope\n\n* Tom Rushby\n* Ian Salisbury\n* Andy Sandham\n* Tom Shepherd\n* John Shuter\n* David Smith\n* Razor Smith\n* Stan Squires\n* Alec Stewart\n* Micky Stewart\n* Stewart Storey\n* Herbert Strudwick\n* Stuart Surridge\n* David Thomas\n* Graham Thorpe\n* David Ward\n* Ian Ward\n* Eddie Watts\n* Henry Wood\n* Younis Ahmed\n\n\n\n=== Club captains ===\n:''For a complete list of officially appointed Surrey captains, see List of Surrey cricket captains''.\n\nSurrey have had 40 club captains since 1846. The club captain leads the team on the field, unless he is on international duty, injured or otherwise unavailable. Surrey's most successful County Championship captain is Stuart Surridge who won the title in each year of his captaincy in a five-year run stretching from 1952 to 1956. The current captain is Gareth Batty.\n" " Non-playing staff " "This list excludes those who are also listed above as famous players. Data is primarily taken from Surrey Yearbooks.\n\n===Presidents===\n:''For a list of Surrey's Presidents, see List of Presidents of Surrey CCC.''\n\nThe position of President is an honorary one. The President does not take a salary and is chosen from supporters of the club. Past holders of the seat have included former Prime Minister Sir John Major and a number of former players, an example of which is the 2011 President and 1960s Surrey slow left-arm bowler Roger Harman, who held the post for a single year, as has been customary in recent years. He was the 48th President.\n\n===Secretaries and chief executives===\nThe Chief Executive of Surrey CCC is the official who is in charge of the day-to-day running of the club. The position had formerly been called Secretary, but was changed in 1993. Current Chief Executive Richard Gould joined the club in 2011 after a six-year tenure at Somerset CCC. Previous incumbent Paul Sheldon was in the job for 16 years and oversaw the construction of the OCS Stand during his time at the Oval.\n\nWilliam Burrup, Hon. Sec. 1855\u20131872\n\n No. !! Name !!

The first team coach, Ian Salisbury, was also sacked. Adams had held the position since his appointment in 2008 after the sacking of Alan Butcher, who had been promoted from assistant in 2006 at a time when his son Mark was club captain. Micky Stewart, who also played for the club, had been the cricket manager from 1979 to 1986.\n\nIt was announced that following the sacking of Adams Alec Stewart would take charge of first team affairs until a long term successor was found, with the bowling coach Stuart Barnes as his assistant. In October 2013 the club announced that Graham Ford would become head coach in February 2014, with Stewart becoming Director of Cricket, a new position.\n\nIn early 2016, Graham Ford resigned as head coach, and Surrey subsequently appointed Michael Di Venuto.\n\n===Scorers===\nThe club's current scorer is Keith Booth.

"Suspicious Minds (album)" "Introduction" "\n\n'''''Suspicious Minds: The Memphis 1969 Anthology''''' is a two-disc compilation of Elvis Presley's studio recordings at American Sound Studio during the winter of 1969, released in 1999, RCA 67677-2. This set features all of the master recordings made by Presley that would eventually feature on multiple singles as well as the albums ''From Elvis in Memphis'' and the studio disk of ''From Memphis to Vegas/From Vegas to Memphis''. Original recordings produced by Chips Moman and Felton Jarvis.\n" " Contents " "For the bulk of the 1960s, Elvis had been trapped in a cycle of making three movies a year, and recording their attendant soundtracks in either Nashville or Hollywood. After the success of his Christmas special on NBC in December 1968, Presley made a decision not to continue with business as usual, but instead to return to recording in his hometown of Memphis, Tennessee, to take advantage of the thriving soul music scene active at the city's studios such as Stax and Hi Records. Presley chose American Studios, run by songwriter Chips Moman, for several reasons. First, their music staff was populated by session musicians steeped in Elvis' upbringing in blues, country, gospel, and rock and roll; second, they knew how to give the music a \"commercial\" gloss, Moman having already produced or written hits for Aretha Franklin and The Box Tops; third, after hitting the top ten on the singles chart only once since 1963 with a song that had been recorded in 1960, Presley needed hits.\n\nThe choice would prove fortuitous, as singles gleaned from these sessions would yield three top ten hits, including the last chart-topper of Presley's career, his latter-day signature song \"Suspicious Minds.\" The album work would be equally respected, ''From Elvis in Memphis'' being considered by myriad sources as one of Presley's greatest. In 2003, the album was ranked number 190 on ''Rolling Stone'' magazine's list of the 500 greatest albums of all time.\n\nThe first twelve tracks of disc one present ''From Elvis in Memphis'' in order, including the lead single of \"In the Ghetto\" backed with \"Any Day Now,\" released two months before the album hit the stores. It continues with the hit singles and \"Stranger in My Own Hometown,\" a song Presley would return to in the future, a live version issued on disc five of the 1970s box set. The second disc compiles the balance of ''From Memphis to Vegas'', along with the remaining masters that ended up buttressing various albums in the 1970s. Ten alternate takes are included, along with a previously unissued snippet of a song attempted at the sessions but never completed. The success of this material would infuse Presley's career with a new vigor, which would fuel re-acquaintance with his talents both in the studio and in live performance during the early years of the new decade.\n" " Track listing " "Chart positions for LPs ''Billboard'' 200 chart; positions for singles from ''Billboard'' Hot 100 chart.\n\n=== Disc one ===\n\n\n Track \n Recorded \n Original LP Issue \n Catalogue \n Release Date \n Chart Peak \n Song Title \n Writer(s) \n Time\n\n 1. \n 1/13/69 \n ''From Elvis in Memphis'' \n LSP 4155 \n 6/17/69 \n #13 \n Wearin' That Loved-On Look \n A.L.

"Teri Weigel" "Introduction" "\n'''Teresa \"Teri\" Susan Weigel''' (born February 24, 1962) is an American pornographic actress, fashion and nude model and ''Playboy'' Playmate.\n" "Early life" "Weigel was born in Fort Lauderdale, Florida and grew up in Deerfield Beach, Florida. She began modeling while in her teens, appearing in the Saks Fifth Avenue catalog among other venues.\n" "Career" "Weigel appeared on the cover of the November 1985 issue of ''Playboy'', and was the Playboy Playmate for April 1986. She also appeared in a number of ''Playboy'' videos. She subsequently had several minor roles in mainstream film, including ''Predator 2'' and ''Marked for Death'', and made several appearances as \"Jade\" on ''Married... with Children''. She was the second Playmate to also appear in ''Penthouse'' magazine, after Ursula Buchfellner, November 1985. She worked for a time at the Bunny Ranch Nevada brothel until September 1998.\n\nWeigel was in a car accident in August 1990, in which she suffered severe neck and back injuries that required five operations.\nUnable to work for four months due to her injuries, she and her husband, Murrill Maglio, were forced to sell their home and move into an apartment. During production on a nude video that was one of Weigel's last projects for ''Playboy'', a co-worker suggested doing adult movies to earn money. Initially dismissive of the idea, Weigel eventually reconsidered. Weigel and Maglio spoke to their neighbors, Fred and Patti Lincoln, who produced adult films.\n\nHer first film was ''Inferno'' in 1991, in which she costarred with Marc Wallice. According to Weigel and Maglio, they do not see Weigel's sexual intercourse with other men as a problem because of the security of their relationship. Maglio has had minor, non-sexual roles in some of her films. To enhance her career viability, Weigel underwent breast augmentation, enlarging her breasts to 36DD. After she became the first Playboy Playmate to cross over into porn, the publisher terminated its relationship with her, as Playmates who do porn are not allowed to represent the company. Weigel's new career also hurt her relationship with her family, as her parents stopped speaking to her by 1992.\n\nIn 2000, Playboy sued Weigel over her use of the Playboy logo on her website.\n\n===Awards===\n*1992 FOXE Award \u2013 Vixen\n*2002 XRCO Hall of Fame\n*2003 AVN Hall of Fame\n*2003 NightMoves Award \u2013 Best Feature Dancer (Editor's Choice)\n" "Personal life" "She was married to Murrill Maglio since December 1986.

"The Bronx Bunny Show" "Introduction" "\n\n\n\n'''''The Bronx Bunny Show''''' is an Irish ten-part series originally broadcast in 2003 on E4 in the United Kingdom and later in Ireland. It was an adult puppet interview show which followed the premise of a semi-educational show for the good people of the Bronx, Brooklyn and Manhattan. The show was produced from a run-down tenement building in the Bronx where Bronx Bunny and his sidekick, a cigarette-smoking panda named Teddy T, would interview celebrities who \"done good\". ''The Bronx Bunny Show'' won \"Best Entertainment Show\" IFTA Award in 2003.\n\nAlso featured on the show were pseudo-educational items, such as 'The Internal Gerbil' who sang songs about internal organs from inside a gay man, numbers illustrated by pole dancing women who contorted into the shape of that week's number, and Spanish phrases such as \"Your Mother bangs like a screen door in a tornado\".\n\nThe show was broadcast sporadically on E4 and eventually on Channel 4. The series gained a cult following as it featured interviews with guests such as Hugh Hefner, Jessica Alba, William Shatner, and Larry Flynt. The show was created by Double Z Enterprises, an Irish production company behind such characters as Zig and Zag and Podge and Rodge.\n\nIn 2010, the entire Channel 4 season was made available to view on the 4OD site.\n" "Season one U.K. (2003)" "{| class=\"wikitable\"\n S# !!

"The Heckling Hare" "Introduction" "\n\n\n'''''The Heckling Hare''''' is a Merrie Melodies cartoon, released on July 5, 1941 and featuring Bugs Bunny and a dopey dog named Willoughby. The cartoon was directed by Tex Avery, written by Michael Maltese, animated by soon-to-be director Bob McKimson, and with musical direction by Carl Stalling. In style that was becoming typical of the Bugs character, he easily outwitted and tormented his antagonist through the short, his only concern being what to do next to the dog.\n\nThis is the second-to-last Bugs Bunny cartoon directed by Tex Avery to be released. The last, ''All This and Rabbit Stew'', was produced before this film. Additionally, it was the fifth cartoon for Bugs and the 55th cartoon Avery directed at Warner Bros.\n\nThe Merrie Melodies opening sequence also featured the first usage of the Warner Bros. shield logo zooming in with a carrot-munching Bugs Bunny lying on top of it. Here, after the zoom-in and a couple of bites of his carrot, Bugs pulls down the Merrie Melodies title screen like it is a shade.\n" "Plot" "Instead of Elmer Fudd, Bugs is hunted by a dog named Willoughby, but the dog falls for every trap Bugs sets for him until they both fall off a cliff at the end.\n" "Availability" "This cartoon appears in the DVD ''Looney Tunes Golden Collection: Volume 3'', unrestored, as part of the 1990 TV special ''What's Up Doc? A Salute to Bugs Bunny'' The restored version had previously been released as part of ''Looney Tunes Golden Collection: Volume 2''.\n" "Original ending" "This is the cartoon that led to Avery leaving Warner Bros. and moving to MGM. The final gag of this cartoon originally had Bugs and Willoughby falling off ''three'' cliffs, with Bugs telling the audience after the second tumble, \"Hold on to your hats, folks. Here we go again!\" during the third trip down. Schlesinger intervened for reasons that are not known with certainty. The most popular story is that the \"Hold on to your hats\" line referred to a risqu\u00e9 joke that was then in circulation; another story is that Schlesinger feared that Tex Avery had killed off Bugs Bunny by ending the cartoon with Bugs and Willoughby falling off the second cliff without a clear indication of whether or not the two survived.\n\nAccording to Martha Sigall, Schlesinger found the second fall to be repetitious and objected to its inclusion on those grounds. He instructed Avery to cut it, but Avery insisted that it should remain. Schlesinger simply overruled him as the boss. Karl F. Cohen suggests that Schlesinger found inappropriate an ending which suggests that Bugs gets killed. From Schlesinger's point of view the dispute was over his right to do as he pleased with the films he was paying for. From Avery's point of view, the dispute was over artistic interference.\n\nThe film was edited so that the characters only fall off a cliff once. After Bugs and Willoughby fall through the sky in a lengthy sequence, they \"put on the brakes\" and make a soft, feet-first landing on the ground. Bugs says to the audience, \"N'yah, fooled you, didn't we?!\" The dog follows with, \"Yeah!\" just as the cartoon fades out. Willoughby's line and the fade out to the end card are usually cut in TV versions (mostly those shown on the Ted Turner-owned cable networks TBS, TNT, Cartoon Network, and Boomerang) to cover up the fact that the cartoon had been edited in such an abrupt manner prior to release in theaters.\n\nAvery was angry, and walked out of the studio. He was promptly suspended for four weeks with no pay. On April 2, 1941, the quarrel was reported in an article for ''The Hollywood Reporter''. During his suspension, Avery was hired by MGM. A similar line had been allowed in ''Daffy Duck and Egghead'' (1938, coincidentally also directed by Avery). Just before launching into his own take on ''The Merry-Go-Round Broke Down'', Daffy Duck tells the audience, \"Hold your seats, folks, here we go again!\"\n" "Sources" "* \n* \n" "References" "\n" "External links" "* \n* \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n"

"The Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus" "Introduction" "\n\n\n'''''The Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus''''' is a 2009 British-Canadian-French fantasy film directed by Terry Gilliam and written by Gilliam and Charles McKeown. The film follows a travelling theatre troupe whose leader, having made a bet with the Devil, takes audience members through a magical mirror to explore their imaginations and present them with a choice between self-fulfilling enlightenment or gratifying ignorance.\n\nHeath Ledger, Christopher Plummer, Andrew Garfield, Lily Cole, Verne Troyer, and Tom Waits star in the film, though Ledger's death one-third of the way through filming caused production to be temporarily suspended. Ledger's role was recast with Johnny Depp, Jude Law, and Colin Farrell portraying transformations of Ledger's character as he travels through a dream world. ''The Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus'' interweaves several plot lines in a nonlinear arrangement.\n\nThe film made its world premiere during the 62nd Cannes Film Festival, out of competition. The film, which was budgeted at $30 million, grossed more than $60 million in its worldwide theatrical release.\n\n''The Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus'' was nominated for two Academy Awards in the categories Best Art Direction (art directed by Dave Warren and Anastasia Masaro, and set decorated by Caroline Smith; lost to ''Avatar'') and Best Costume Design (costumes designed by Monique Prudhomme; lost to ''The Young Victoria'').\n" "Plot" "Doctor Parnassus' theater troupe, which includes sleight of hand expert Anton, confidant Percy, and Parnassus' daughter Valentina, performs outside a London pub. The troupe's main attraction is a magical \"Imaginarium\", which offers whoever enters it a choice between difficult self-fulfillment or easy ignorance. After a drunkard is swayed to the latter, Parnassus says he has lost another one to Mr. Nick, a suave personification of the Devil. Mr. Nick reminds Parnassus that in three days Valentina turns 16, and her soul will be his. Hundreds of years ago Mr. Nick tricked Parnassus into gaining immortality, after making a wager similar to his current predicament.\n\nAs the troupe crosses a bridge, Anton spies someone hanging beneath it. They rescue the man, who spits out a golden pipe when revived. Claiming to have amnesia, he joins the troupe as a barker. Parnassus becomes despondent over the impending loss of his daughter. Mr. Nick visits Parnassus, revealing the hanging man is a disgraced philanthropist named \"Tony\". He offers Parnassus a wager: Valentina can stay with whoever wins five souls first.\n\nTony convinces the troupe to remodel the show into a more modern act. While performing, Tony lures a posh woman into the Imaginarium and follows her, where they enter a pastel-coloured dream-world representing the woman's imagination. The woman's imagination also changes Tony's face; upon discovering this, he dances elegantly with her, and they spy a motel run by Mr. Nick. Tony convinces the woman to take a gondola toward a pyramid alone, winning a soul for Parnassus. Tony falls back out of the Imaginarium, returning his face to normal; the woman exits shortly after and gives the troupe a vast sum of money. When three other women enter, each emerges elated; and thus Parnassus wins three more souls. Four Russian gangsters, to whom Tony owes money, are taken by Mr. Nick when they chase Tony into the Imaginarium. The score becomes four souls apiece.\n\nWith the bet nearing its end, Parnassus reveals Valentina's conception to her: after ageing from immortality, Parnassus made a new pact with Mr. Nick to be youthful again, in order to win the heart of a woman he loved. In exchange, any child he fathered would become Mr. Nick's property at age 16. Valentina attempts to run away, but Tony enters the Imaginarium to give his soul to Parnassus; in exchange, Parnassus must teach him the trance that powers the dream world. Valentina returns as he tries to enter the mirror, but Anton blocks them, having discovered that Tony is a fraudulent charity scammer.\n\nTony fights off Anton, pushes Valentina into the Imaginarium and joins her. Influenced by Valentina's desires, Tony's face changes again, and they float along a beautiful river in a gondola. After an impoverished child disrupts their boat trip, Tony transforms into a philanthropist speaking at a fundraiser. Anton, following the pair into the Imaginarium, appears as an outspoken child and exposes Tony as a fraud. A mob pursues Tony as the landscape disintegrates, causing Anton to fall into a void.\n\nDistraught and angry over her father's bargain and a lifetime of hiding of the truth from her, Valentina gives her soul to Mr. Nick. Disillusioned by the easy victory, Mr. Nick offers Parnassus to trade Valentina for Tony. Chased by the mob, Tony flees to a gallows, but Parnassus confronts him, holding Tony's pipe and a copy. Parnassus challenges Tony to choose which pipe is genuine. He chooses wrongly, inserts the copy in his windpipe, and is hanged. Mr. Nick keeps his word and Valentina is freed, but Parnassus is not told where she is, and is abandoned to wander in the Imaginarium.\n\nParnassus emerges years later, finding Valentina is married to Anton and they have a daughter. He watches them from outside a restaurant window, but when tempted to join them, he is stopped by Percy. Teaming up once more, Parnassus and Percy sell toy theatre replicas of the Imaginarium and the troupe on a street corner. Mr. Nick invites Parnassus over to him, but Percy puts an end to the temptation.\n" "Cast" "* Heath Ledger as Tony, a mysterious outsider who joins the group.\n** When Ledger died in the midst of production, the role was recast for certain scenes to show portrayals of \"physically transformed versions\" of the character within the eponymous Imaginarium:\n*** Johnny Depp\n*** Colin Farrell\n*** Jude Law \n* Christopher Plummer as Doctor Parnassus, a former monk, and the 1,000-year-old leader of a travelling theatre troupe.\n* Andrew Garfield as Anton: a member of Doctor Parnassus' troupe and who is in love with Valentina.\n* Verne Troyer as Percy, Doctor Parnassus' confidant.\n* Lily Cole as Valentina, Doctor Parnassus' daughter.\n* Tom Waits as Mr. Nick, a personification of the Devil.\n" "Production" "\n===Writing===\nPromotional one-sheet for ''The Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus'', which, for several months, was the first placeholder on the film's official siteDirector Terry Gilliam and screenwriter Charles McKeown wrote the script for ''The Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus'', their first collaboration since ''The Adventures of Baron Munchausen'' (1988). When he was approached with the basic concept by Gilliam, McKeown thought of the central character of Parnassus \"as a semi-eastern medicine man evolved\", and in retrospect he further said about the script's sensibilities, \"''i''t is about the theme of imagination, and the importance of imagination, to how you live and how you think and so on. And that's very much a Terry theme. ''...'' I like the idea of storytelling being the thing that sustains the universe.\" Gilliam described the premise as a \"fun and humorous story about the consequences of our personal choices in life\", and explained his goal for the film: \"It's autobiographical. I'm trying to bring a bit of fantasticality to London, an antidote to modern lives. I loved this idea of an ancient travelling show offering the kind of storytelling and wonder that we used to get, to people who are just into shoot-em-up action films.\" Gilliam and McKeown based the character of Tony on former British prime minister Tony Blair, who \"would say the most insane things and probably he'd believe them himself\".\n\nGilliam repeatedly said in interviews that the character of Parnassus was meant autobiographically, a tale of an aging man with a vivid imagination in a world that doesn't listen any more. Still being caught in depression over the disruption of his last self-written project, ''The Man Who Killed Don Quixote'', his constant struggle with the established studio system, as well as becoming aware of his progressing age, worried that he was going nowhere with his latest projects and that he might not have much time left, Gilliam put a number of references to sudden, tragic, and premature death into his script before the loss of Ledger became a reality. In fact, Gilliam felt compelled to emphasise time and again that upon the film's release many things might be mistaken as references to Ledger's fate but that the script wasn't changed apart from re-casting Tony with Depp, Farrell, and Law.\n\n===Filming===\nHeath Ledger during a break between set-ups at Clerkenwell, in late January 2008.\nThe film received a budget of $25 million at first, but its final budget was about $30 million. For ''The Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus'', Gilliam and his cinematographer Nicola Pecorini went wider than ever before on focal length with a new 8mm Zeiss lens, unusual even for a Gilliam movie which are usually trademarked by wide-angle imagery. The widest lens that had been employed before on a Gilliam film had been a 9.8mm Kinoptic. Production of the remaining computer generated imagery effects shots were carried out in Vancouver.\n\n====London filming====\nProduction started in December 2007, beginning with various shots of the Imaginarium wagon moving about the London suburbs (to be more specific, Bounds Green, London) on the evening of 9 December. The carnival scenes were shot at Potters Field between 10\u201311 December; shooting then moved to the abandoned Battersea Power Station for three days, where the production had set up offices nearby. After a full day of set-up, the hanging scenes at Blackfriars Bridge were shot for three hours on the evening of 17 December.\n\nAt the same time that an intimate early scene between Andrew Garfield and Lily Cole was being shot on top of the travelling Imaginarium wagon, second unit work around London was also being done for several more nights, until 20 December; this change in schedule was to allow Heath Ledger a break to travel back to Australia to visit his family. After the entire cast returned from Christmas break, the production resumed shooting for 2008 back at Battersea for one full day; this was Tom Waits' first day on set, as he would mainly be required for the subsequent Vancouver shoot, not the London section. From 5\u20136 January, the production filmed scenes with the Imaginarium at Leadenhall Market; shooting on this sequence managed an average of 70 set-ups a day. The production had originally planned to shoot the Leadenhall scenes at Bond Street, but this was scrapped, due to security concerns.\n\nAfter various nighttime footage at a Homebase parking lot in New Southgate, and interiors behind the stage curtain (including reaction close-ups of Heath Ledger) shot at Bray Studios in Windsor, production finally wrapped in Clerkenwell, with shooting on the night of 18 January being Heath Ledger's last footage shot for the film; he returned to his New York City apartment over the weekend while the production regrouped, and was expected to appear on set in Vancouver after a week's break for the second stage of shooting.\n\n====Effects of Heath Ledger's death====\nProduction was disrupted by the death of Heath Ledger in New York City on 22 January 2008. Ledger's involvement had been a \"key factor\" in the film's financing. Gilliam was presiding over concept art when he was informed by a phone call that Ledger had died. His initial thought about the production was: \"The film's over, it's as simple as that.\" Although production was suspended indefinitely by 24 January, Gilliam initially wanted to \"salvage\" the film by using computer-generated imagery to make Ledger's character magically change his appearance, perhaps into another character. He also wanted to dedicate the film to Ledger. The imagery would have been similar to transformation techniques seen on Brad Pitt in ''The Curious Case of Benjamin Button'' and those employed on Roy Scheider's performance in his posthumous release ''Iron Cross''.\nTom Waits on location for the first day of filming in Vancouver, 24 February 2008.\nEventually, actors Johnny Depp, Colin Farrell, and Jude Law were cast to replace Heath Ledger in certain scenes, portraying the new idea of transformed versions of Ledger's character travelling through magical realms, while the footage shot with Ledger would remain in the film as his character's \"real-world\" appearance. Gilliam told ''Entertainment Weekly'', \"Then we made the quantum leap: What if we get three actors to replace him? ... Johnny was the first person I called. He said, 'Done. I'm there.' Same with Jude and Colin.\" Depp, a friend of Gilliam's who starred in ''Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas'' and the aborted ''The Man Who Killed Don Quixote'', had been compared to Ledger by cinematographer Nicola Pecorini. Law was also a friend of Ledger's and had been considered for the role of Tony, and Farrell had also been friends with Ledger.\n\nInitially, Tom Cruise expressed interest in being involved as another actor to replace Ledger, but Gilliam turned him down because Cruise had never been a close friend of Ledger. Gilliam stated, \"I just wanted to keep this in the family\u2014it's as simple as that ... There were people even offering to come and help, they didn't know Heath. It had to be in the family somehow, I don't know why; it was my attitude.\"\n\nOne scene planned for the Vancouver shooting with the Tony character was scrapped; two others were altered to accommodate Ledger's absence, a third was added to plan for Colin Farrell's role in the film, and a fourth, already in the script, had a prop of Farrell in a magazine added. A fifth, with close-ups of Ledger already filmed, scrapped any major dialogue from Tony and used a body and voice double, as detailed below.\n\n====Vancouver filming====\n\nWith the role recast, and the script restructured accordingly, filming resumed in Vancouver on 24 February 2008, a month later than originally planned; this push-back in filming also required another film produced by Samuel Hadida, an adaptation of the video game ''Onimusha'', to be delayed indefinitely. Exteriors required for the film's ending, featuring Christopher Plummer and Verne Troyer, were shot during this time; the location work also required the presence of Tom Waits (on the first day) and Lily Cole (on the second). All of Plummer's scenes, including exterior flashbacks shown early on in the film, had to be filmed first in the Vancouver schedule, within three weeks, as he was due to leave to begin filming on ''The Last Station'', which was to start production in Germany on 7 April.\n\nAfter arriving in Vancouver on 26 February, Colin Farrell joined the cast and began practicing scenes with them for several weeks while Christopher Plummer's bluescreen and interior work was done, only beginning filming proper on 10 March. Farrell's work was the first of the Tonys to be done, as it was the only Imaginarium-based shooting that involved significant sets; the scenes at the charity ball were shot (at Vancouver's Orpheum Theatre), then the hanging scene, and finally the gondola sequence (rewritten from its original conception due to the now-compressed shooting schedule).\n\nJohnny Depp's shooting on the film was the hardest to incorporate into any of the new actors' schedules, due to his contractual obligation on Michael Mann's ''Public Enemies'' at the time; in the end, Gilliam had access to Depp for one day and three hours. All of the shots involving him had to be completed in one take, to fit into Depp's compressed time schedule.\n\nA few of the scenes featuring Zander Gladish, behind a mask, doubling for Ledger in the film.\nFinally, Jude Law arrived at the very end of shooting, on 2 April, to film the Imaginarium ladders sequence, which now required more dialogue than originally planned; a key scene in the Imaginarium wagon between Tony and the rest of the cast had been reserved for the Vancouver interior shooting, and so all of the dialogue (and, thus, narrative role of that scene) had to be funnelled into a conversation between Law and Andrew Garfield's characters in the Imaginarium. This conversation proved to be the last sequence shot for the film, and involved a set completely improvised, on the day, to look like the ground at Battersea; they did not have the budget for anything better, but the production crew came away quite impressed at how well it worked.\n\nFor the first two Imaginarium sequences, a double for Ledger, Zander Gladish, was used to ease the audience into the other actors as Tony; Gladish also doubled for Ledger in wide shots and masked close-ups for another, non-Imaginarium scene, where his character tries out various costumes. Gladish wore the character's mask for his shots, and did not speak, but is still credited for his work on the film.\n\nDepp, Farrell, and Law opted to redirect their wages for the role to Ledger's young daughter, Matilda, who had been left out of an old version of Ledger's will, and Gilliam altered the part of the credits saying \"A Terry Gilliam film\" to \"A film from Heath Ledger and friends.\"\n\nGilliam said in retrospect about the first transition from Ledger to Depp in the film:\n\n\n\nDepp said of the experience:\n\n\nJude Law also commented on the film:\n\nColin Farrell commented on the experience: \n\n===Post-production===\nPrincipal photography in Vancouver wrapped, as planned, on 15 April, but the production was soon beset by further tragedy when producer William Vince died of cancer, just two days after model shooting back in London had wrapped. Fellow producer Amy Gilliam, Terry's daughter, remembered, \"''Bill Vince'' always said, 'If you get your film in the can, you'll be all right.' And I kind of believe that he stayed with us to know that happened.\" Eventually, while on post-production, Gilliam himself was hit by a car, resulting in a cracked vertebra. Gilliam recalled: \"So I thought, it was third time lucky \u2013 they just didn't get me. They got the star, the producer, and they were going for the director, and the fuckers failed on the last one. Whoever they are...\" \"They were going for the trinity ''...'' That would have been a tidy end to the whole thing. But they didn't kill me. I'm stuck here to tell the tale.\"\n\nGilliam finished editing the film by November 2008, and then work began on creating 647 computer generated imagery effects shots. As usual with his films, Gilliam found inspiration in particular painters for each CGI-generated scene inside the titular ''Imaginarium''. According to ''Designing the \"Imaginarium\"'' published by CBSnews.com, the scene with Doctor Parnassus's attempted suicide related to the style of Odd Nerdrum, the ''Ladder World'' with Jude Law featuring \"rolling hills with simple trees\" was inspired by the art of Grant Wood, the kitsch landscape from the beginning of the sequence with Colin Farrell took inspiration from Maxfield Parrish, and Jose Maria Sert's mural of the Crucifixion in Rockefeller Center inspired the scene including the final minutes of Farrell's appearance in the film.\n\nAccording to the official ''ParnassusFilm'' Twitter channel launched on 30 March 2009, post-production was finished on 31 March. After the production had finally come to a successful closure, Gilliam felt that \"''I'' didn't make this film. Forces from above and below made it. It made itself. I don't worry anymore. It's got its own relentless momentum. It just needed some human sacrifice.\" \"It's made itself \u2013 I was just one pair of hands and there were many hands.\" \"Don't get me into my mystical mode ... but the film made itself and it was co-directed by Heath Ledger!\" \"The irony is that the choices that were forced upon us improved the movie, so it was as if Heath co-directed the movie, even co-wrote it.\" According to Gilliam, actor Colin Farrell also went on record for saying that he hadn't been simply playing the character of Tony, but that he was rather feeling like \"channeling Heath\".\nTony is found hanging under Blackfriars Bridge.\n\nGilliam also positively recalled people's commitment to Ledger's memory: \"Everyone in the cast and everyone in the crew was determined that this film would be finished and everybody worked longer, harder and somehow we got through. It was really ... people's love for Heath that propelled this thing forward.\" \"All the actors already in the film had to change their schedules, and there wasn't a moment's hesitation. ''...'' They all said, 'We'll do what's necessary.' It's really a love letter to Heath by everybody involved. He was beloved by so many.\"\nThe restyled show debuts in Leadenhall Market.\n" "Locations" "The film opens with St Paul's Cathedral in the background (by the north bank of the Thames), and the first show is performed under the rail tracks at Green Dragon Court, directly next to Borough Market, with Southwark Cathedral in the background (in Borough, London, on the south bank of the Thames), where the drunken lout molests the performers and then enters the mirror. The next scene, with Tower Bridge in the background, is just east along the riverbank, by City Hall. Tony is found hanging under Blackfriars Bridge, and the very large disused building in which the following scene (and several later ones) occurs is the interior of Battersea power station, farther west along the south bank of the river.\n\nThe following scenes occur north of the Thames: the Homebase, DIY store at 3 Station Road, south of New Southgate railway station, in New Southgate, followed by the Horseshoe pub in Clerkenwell Close in Clerkenwell from which the wagon flees. The restyled show makes its debut in Leadenhall Market, where the stylish women gather to watch. Bray Studios near Windsor was used for model shooting and additional photography.\n\nThe remaining scenes were filmed in Vancouver. The fantasy scenes were filmed at Bridge Studios in Burnaby, while the charity gala occurs at the Orpheum Theatre, and the glass-walled \"mall\" is the Central Branch of the Vancouver Public Library, the curved arcade being the library's entrance foyer.\nThe \"mall\" is the foyer of the Central Branch of the Vancouver Public Library.\n" "Music" "The original motion picture soundtrack of ''The Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus'' was composed by Mychael Danna and Jeff Danna who had previously worked on Gilliam's ''Tideland'' (2005). Gilliam wrote lyrics for the two songs \"We Love Violence\" and \"We Are The Children of the World\", the latter of which spoofed Michael Jackson's famous \"We Are the World\" and was nominated for a 2009 Satellite Award in the category \"Best Original Song\".\n\nThe song \"We Love Violence\", performed in the film by policemen in drag, was sung by Gilliam, Mick Audsley (who edited the film), the musician Ray Cooper, Ed Hall (who was also the Visual Effects Editor), and Andre Jacquemin (who was Supervising Sound & Design on the film).\n\n;Track listing\n# \"Once Upon a Time\"\n# \"The Imaginarium\"\n# \"The Tack\"\n# \"Tony's Tale of Woe\"\n# \"The Monastery\"\n# \"Book & Story\"\n# \"Sympathy for the Hanged Man\"\n# \"The First to Five Souls\"\n# \"Escape from the Pub\"\n# \"The River\"\n# \"Suicide Attempt\"\n# \"Tango Amongst the Lilies\"\n# \"Victory in the Lilies\"\n# \"Four Through the Mirror\"\n# \"The Ladder World\"\n# \"We Love Violence\"\n# \"Top of the Wagon\"\n# \"We Are the Children of the World\"\n# \"Tony's World Collapses\"\n# \"The Devil's Dance\"\n# \"Tony's Salvation\"\n# \"Parnassus Alone\"\nTom Waits and Lily Cole, promoting the film at the 2009 Toronto International Film Festival.\n" "Release and box office performance" "Before ''The Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus'' was finished, the film had already received healthy interest from worldwide distributors and the film sold out across the world. However, the film received lukewarm response from many distributors in the United States. Gilliam said that Fox Searchlight Pictures and other distributors had declined to release the film in the US. Eventually, the film's US distribution rights were acquired by Sony Pictures Worldwide Acquisitions Group, which released the film in the US through Sony Pictures Classics. In fact, the US was the last territory in which the film was sold.\n\n===Box office===\nAccording to Reuters, the film debuted at No. 3 on its first weekend at the UK box office. The film debuted at No. 2 in both France and Italy, generating the year's third-best box office return on an opening weekend in Italy. Said Roberto Proia, distribution chief of the film's Italian distributor Moviemax, about its surprisingly warm reception, \"Almost two years after his death, Ledger has a huge fanbase which, along with the rest of the stellar cast, certainly contributed hugely. ... We also found out that teenagers massively love Gilliam, and we did not expect this. He really has rock star status.\" Eventually, the film had earned about $54,119,168 theatrically in the countries outside North America.\n\nFor the first two weeks of its theatrical run in the US, ''The Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus'' only played in four theaters and topped box office charts in per-screen average gross, taking c. $31,000 per location on each of the weekends, and beating even its direct competitor, James Cameron's ''Avatar'', thereby. The film earned $415,233 on its North American limited opening Christmas weekend (25\u201327 December 2009), being presented in 48 theatres with an average of $8,651. The second weekend of ''Parnassus'' (1\u20133 January 2010) set an average of $7,684 with a gross of $368,836 which made for a total of $1,029,821 domestically. Releasing in 607 North American theatres, ''Parnassus'' took eleventh place on its opening wide release box office weekend (8\u201310 January 2010) with earnings of $1,762,637, an average of only $2,904 and a total of $2,989,290. Eventually, the film had earned $7,689,607 theatrically in North America.\n\nAccording to the working partner of William Vince, the film had already made its budget back even before it opened in North America.\n\n===Home media===\nThe film was released on DVD and Blu-ray in the United Kingdom (Region 2) on 29 March 2010, by Lionsgate Home Entertainment. Supplementary material includes an audio commentary and an introduction by Gilliam, deleted scenes, wardrobe test for Heath Ledger, visual FX feature, and three featurettes titled \"Behind the Mirror\", \"Building the Temple\", and \"UK Premiere\".\n\nThe DVD and Blu-ray were released in the US on 27 April 2010.\n" "Critical reception" "Review aggregator Rotten Tomatoes reports that 64% of 186 critics have given the film a positive review, with a rating average of 6 out of 10. The site's general consensus is that \"Terry Gilliam remains as indulgent as ever, but ''The Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus'' represents a return to the intoxicatingly imaginative, darkly beautiful power of his earlier work, with fine performances to match all the visual spectacle.\" Metacritic, which assigns a normalised rating out of 100 to reviews from film critics, has a rating score of 65 based on 30 reviews.\n" "Awards and nominations" "''The Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus'' was nominated for two Academy Awards, in the categories Best Costume Design and Best Art Direction.\n\nThe Costume Designers Guild of America named ''The Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus'' for Best Fantasy Film of the year with costume designer Monique Prudhomme receiving the award.

"The Lockhorns" "Introduction" "\n\n'''''The Lockhorns''''' is a United States single-panel cartoon created in 1968 by Bill Hoest and distributed by King Features Syndicate to 500 newspapers in 23 countries. It is continued today by Bunny Hoest and John Reiner.\n" "Characters and story" "The married couple Leroy and Loretta Lockhorn constantly argue. They demonstrate their mutual deep-seated hatred by making humorously sarcastic comments on each other's failings as spouses.\n\nMany of the business and institutions depicted in the strip are real places located in or near Huntington, New York on the North Shore of Long Island. The cartoon feature was initially titled '''''The Lockhorns of Levittown'''''. Anticipating national syndication, Bunny Hoest suggested shortening the title to ''The Lockhorns''. It began as a single-panel daily on September 9, 1968, with the Sunday feature launched April 9, 1972. The Sunday feature initially employed an unusual layout that ganged together several single-panel cartoons. Comics historian Don Markstein described the couple's battle of wits:\n:It focused just on the couple themselves\u2014no children, no next-door neighbors, no boss, etc., except to the extent others were occasionally needed as props. The entire ''raison d'etre'' of the series is to show Leroy and Loretta trading caustic one-liners. They fight about his roving eye, her cooking, his earning power, her excessive shopping, and the fact that both are middle-aged and dumpy-looking. Also, anything else that happens to occur to them. There are a few other recurring characters, such as Loretta's mother (so they can argue about her visits), their marriage counselor (so they can argue in front of him) and Leroy's favorite bartender (so they can argue about his drinking). But the entire focus is on Leroy and Loretta themselves. The syndicate's publicity tries to make them sound more like the average comics family, claiming (of Leroy, after describing some of his faults) \"you can't help but love him nonetheless\"; and (of the couple, after describing their relationship) \"they realize they're together 'till death do us part' and they wouldn't have it any other way\"\u2014but don't you believe it. If either of them has a lovable quality, readers never see it. And if they wouldn't want to part, it can only be because their greatest pleasure comes from keeping each other on edge.\n\nBill Hoest died in 1988, but his widow, Bunny Hoest, continued the strip with Bill Hoest's long-time assistant, John Reiner.\n" "''The Lockhorns''" "Bill Hoest's ''The Lockhorns'' (July 12, 1981)\n*'''Leroy Lockhorn''' \u2013 The man of the house who drinks a lot, plays golf too much and chases everything good-looking in a skirt.\n*'''Loretta Lockhorn''' \u2013 The woman of the house is a shopaholic, who drives and cooks terribly and does most of the handiwork around the house because either Leroy is too lazy to do it, or because he feels she should earn all the money she spends.\n*'''Loretta's mother''' \u2013 Never named and rarely seen (usually only during the Christmas season when she comes to stay), but hated mercilessly by Leroy.\n*'''D. Pullman, marriage counselor''' \u2013 Whom Leroy and Loretta routinely see but to no avail.\n*'''Arthur the bartender''' \u2013 Local saloonkeeper to whom Leroy often bemoans his circumstances.\n" "Parodies" "*\"Marital Mirth\", part of the \"Super-Fun-Pak Comics\" in ''Tom the Dancing Bug'', is a parody of ''The Lockhorns''.\n*''The Better Half'' comic strip is often seen as a tamer version of ''The Lockhorns''.\n*An early ''Li\u014d'' strip featured Li\u014d's ants attacking numerous comic strips on a newspaper page, all of which parodied real comic strips. ''The Lockhorns'' appeared as ''The Hateeachothers'', depicting a non-plussed Leeroy Hateeachother comparing the monstrous ant to Loretta's mother.\n*A ''Watch Your Head'' comic featured a movie trailer \"Dear Loretta, Love, Leroy\" where the bickering turns out to be a romantic comedy.\n" "Books" "At least nine ''Lockhorns'' collections were published by Signet between 1968 and 1982. Tor reissued the first in the series as ''The Lockhorns: \"What Do You Mean You Weren't Listening? I Didn't Say Anything\"'' in 1992.\n" "Awards" "Bill Hoest received the National Cartoonists Society's Newspaper Panel Cartoon Award for the strip for 1975 and 1980.\n" "References" "\n" "Sources" "*Strickler, Dave.

"The Long Secret" "Introduction" "\n\n'''''The Long Secret''''' is a children's novel written and illustrated by Louise Fitzhugh that was released by Harper & Row on October 27, 1965. It is a sequel or \"companion\" to ''Harriet the Spy'' (1964), the only one published during Fitzhugh's lifetime.\n\n''Sport'', another sequel to ''Harriet'' written by Fitzhugh, was published by the Dell imprint Delacorte Press in 1979.\n" "Plot summary" "Harriet and her family are spending their summer in the beach town of Water Mill (which is on Long Island). Her summertime friend, Beth Ellen, sometimes called Mouse, is also in Water Mill with her grandmother. Mysterious anonymous notes start showing up all over town; they have a religious slant and expose the faults of the recipients. Harriet is determined to find out who is leaving them. She suspects anyone who reads the Bible.\n\nHarriet drags Beth Ellen along on spying expeditions directed against Bunny, the piano-playing manager of the local hotel, and the Jenkinses, an eccentric southern family preoccupied with money-making schemes. Harriet's friend Janie and Mrs Plumber from ''Harriet the Spy'' also appear.\n\nBeth Ellen learns that her mother, who left when she was five, is returning from Europe with her new husband. Her grandmother expects Beth Ellen to be excited by the news but she is indifferent. Her mother Zeeney turns out to be a beautiful but shallow socialite who is dissatisfied with her shy and serious daughter. Beth Ellen's dislike of her mother finally explodes in a temper tantrum which clears her head, leaving her happier and more confident.\n\n\n" "References" "\n\n\n\n\n\n\n"

"The Rabbit (Manet 1881)" "Introduction" "\n\n'''''The Rabbit''''' is an 1881 oil painting by the French artist \u00c9douard Manet, now displayed at the National Museum Wales in Cardiff, Wales. The work is a still life featuring a hung rabbit or hare (the work is sometimes referred as '''''The Hare''''') which has been placed on a hook outside a closed house window. \n" "Origin" "''The Rabbit'' was conceived as one of four decorative panels, and was painted not long after Manet had suggested a series of panels for the meeting chamber at the H\u00f4tel de Ville in Paris, though nothing came of this concept. Completed in 1881, when Manet's health was in decline, ''The Rabbit'' was painted while the artist was spending the summer months at a villa in Versailles. The painting, which was one of the central pairings of a four panel set, was part of a new cycle of decorative work undertaken by Manet while at Versailles. The other central panel, along with ''The Rabbit'' conceived to representing hunting trophies, was ''The Eagle Owl'' which as of 2012 is part of the Buhrle Collection in Zurich. The outer panels illustrate, on one a vine on a trellis and the other a corner of a garden. Two other pictures were grouped as part of the same inventory from his studio at the time of Manet's death, a vase of flowers and a watering can; but although they may be related to the same cycle of work are not believed to be part of the set of panels related to ''The Rabbit''. \n\nThe work was initially submitted to the ''Salon'' in Paris in 1882, but was not accepted. It was sold after Manet's death as part of a studio sale to the art dealer Paul Durand-Ruel. It later passed into the ownership of the Paris-based art firm, Bernheim-Jeune. In 1917 ''The Rabbit'' was purchased from Bernheim-Jeune by the Welsh philanthrapist Gwendoline Davies, who in 1918 exhibited it at the Victoria Art Gallery in Bath. On Gwendoline's death in 1951, she bequeathed her collection of Impressionist works to the National Museum of Wales, among them ''The Rabbit''. As of 2012 it is on view at the National Museum Cardiff in gallery 11.\n" "Analysis" "''The Rabbit'' is painted in a bold and loose style, and is intended to be viewed from a distance. This is in stark contrast to an earlier work by Manet also entitled the ''Rabbit'' (1866), which is completed in a far more traditional French style of still-life painting. This earlier painting, which is in the style of Chardin, is far more conventional and detailed than the later painting. The 1881 picture is a far more casual work, with fast and broad brushstrokes suggesting various textures, not only in the fur of the dead animal, but also in the curtains behind the window and the climbing plant which both frame the hanging rabbit. This latter work is much closer to the Impressionist style.\n" "Gallery" "\nImage:Edouard, Manet - The Rabbit (1866).jpeg|Manet's 1866 painting held at Fondation Dubrujeaud, Avignon\n\n" "References" "\n" "External links" "* ''The Rabbit'' at BBC.co.uk\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n"
"The Raggy Dolls" "Introduction" "\n\n\n\n'''''The Raggy Dolls''''' is a 1980s British cartoon series which originally aired on ITV from 1986 until 1994. The series is set in Mr. Grimes' Toy Factory, where imperfect dolls are thrown into a reject bin. While unobserved by human eyes, the dolls come to life and climb out of the reject bin to have adventures. The series was designed to encourage children to think positively about physical disabilities, as well as teaching kindness, tolerance and humility towards others.\n" "History" "\nThe series was produced for Yorkshire Television from 3 April 1986 to 20 December 1994. It was created by Melvyn Jacobson, with scripts, narration and music by Neil Innes. Yorkshire Television produced the first two series of ''The Raggy Dolls'' before awarding the commission to Orchid Productions Limited in 1987. This was the first programme Yorkshire Television commissioned from an independent production company, and Orchid Productions went on to produce over 100 more episodes of the series. The initial animator for Yorkshire TV was Roy Evans, and consequently after the move to Orchid Productions Mark Mason took over the role, animating and storyboarding 26 episodes, and storyboarding and directing other animators on a further 26 episodes before moving onto work on other children's shows and being replaced by Peter Hale from the 7th series onwards. The series was sold abroad to a number of other countries. \n" "Characters " "\n===The Raggy Dolls===\n*'''Sad Sack''' - A sample of a design that was deemed too expensive to mass-produce; his appearance is somewhat different from that of the others. He is the oldest of the seven Raggy Dolls in the Reject Bin. As his name suggests, he is very gloomy and cynical, but he still values his friendship with the other dolls.\n*'''Dotty''' - As the oldest next to the lethargic Sad Sack, she sees herself as the leader of the group and is often very bossy. She is so-named because she accidentally had paint spilt on her hair and clothing. Dotty's main catchphrase is: \"Good thinking!\"\n*'''Hi-Fi''' - He converses with stammer due to him being dropped during testing. It was also stated in episode \"The Trouble with Claude\" that he was wired incorrectly, hence the stammer. He always wears headphones, which allow him to tune into radio and communication signals from seemingly any source.\n*'''Lucy''' - Her limbs are inadequately attached with nylon thread, her name being a pun on the word \"loose\". She is shy and easily frightened, but always kind-hearted and loyal to her friends. She can be brave on occasion, as first seen in the episode \"Ghosts\". She speaks with a Northern accent.\n*'''Back-To-Front''' - He is a handyman doll with a backward-facing head (as a result of the manufacturer putting his head on the wrong-way round) and a love of machines and. Always calm in a crisis, Back-To-Front's catchphrase is \"No problem!\".\n*'''Claude''' - A French doll, who, unlike his companions, is actually perfect in every way. He fell out of a box of dolls being shipped to France and was left behind, being put in the bin out of a lack of other places. He speaks with a French accent, and sometimes alternates between speaking English and French. He also has a notable talent for cooking.\n*'''Princess''' - She should have been a beautiful princess doll, but the machine accidentally cut her hair and left her dress in rags. In the manner of a typical aristocrat, her voice is characterised by H-adding. As the opening titles indicate, Princess is the youngest of the original seven Raggy Dolls.\n*'''Ragamuffin''' - A wandering traveller doll who'd lost his owner and decided to spend his life taking in new sights and experiences. Introduced in the fifth series.\n\n===Friends===\n*'''Pumpernickle''' - A Scarecrow who is a friend to the Raggy Dolls.\n*'''Edward''' - Mr Grime's lost teddy bear who becomes a good friend to the Raggy Dolls.\n*'''Mr Marmalade''' - Mr Grime's pet cat who has a playful traits.\n*'''Hercules''' - An old farmhorse.\n*'''Rupert the Roo''' - An Australian toy kangaroo who had been mailed from Australia until he had became a new friend to the Raggy Dolls.\n\n===Humans===\n*'''Mr Oswald \"Ozzie\" Grimes''' - The owner of the toy factory\n*'''Cynthia''' - Appeared later in the series to be Mr Grime's love interest, and later wife.\n*'''Florrie Fosdyke''' - A kind cafeteria lady who's mostly very forgetful.\n*'''Farmer Brown''' - The farmer of One Pin Farm.\n\n" "Episodes" "{|class=\"wikitable\"\n\n'''Season 1'''\n\n# !!

"The Tales of Uncle Remus: The Adventures of Brer Rabbit" "Introduction" "\n\n'''''The Tales of Uncle Remus: The Adventures of Brer Rabbit''''' is a 1987 Children's book by Julius Lester. It is a retelling of the American Br'er Rabbit tales. \n" "Reception" "''Publishers Weekly'' in a review of ''The Tales of Uncle Remus'' wrote \"This collection is important as a way of introducing readers to the Harris tales; it also stands alone as a volume of wonderfully funny folktales. For many purists, though, it will not replace the original stories. Pinkney's drawings, both black-and-white and color, nicely combine realistic detail and fancy.\" ''School Library Journal'' wrote \"His Lester's retellings are as lively as the originals but they also have a liveliness of their own, as he incorporates modern allusions which never seem out of place.\" and \"Pinkney's illustrations .. do not have the sass of the original A. B. Frost illustrations, but they are filled with strong interest and a great humor which serves the text well. \"\n\nJune Jordan, writing in the ''New York Times'' called it \"Beautifully written\" but criticised the stories writing \"If these folk tales were not meant for children (quiet or otherwise), then the relentless chicanery of the protagonist would not matter so much, nor would the sometimes positively homicidal humor of the material.\" and concluded \"This misbegotten resurrection is a terrible waste of very considerable talents. Julius Lester comes through at his irresistible best, as a compelling and frequently hilarious teller of tall tales. Every single illustration by Jerry Pinkney is fastidious, inspired and a marvel of delightful imagination. Perhaps Mr. Lester and Mr. Pinkney will soon collaborate on new material more worthy of their labors. Certainly, I hope so.\"\n" "Awards" "*1988 Coretta Scott King Book Illustration Award - honor\n*1988 Horn Book Fanfare Book - Folklore\n" "References" "\n" "External links" ": Library holdings of ''The Tales of Uncle Remus: The Adventures of Brer Rabbit''\n: \"Around the world with tricksters\" - ''School Library Journal'' article that lists trickster tales including ''The Tales of Uncle Remus''\n: Norman Rockwell Museum Digital tour of Pinkney where he discusses development of ''The Tales'' illustrations\n\n\n\n\n\n\n"

"The White Rabbit (book)" "Introduction" "\n\n\n\n'''''The White Rabbit''''' is a 1952 non-fiction book by Scottish writer Bruce Marshall. Its title comes from a nickname of F. F. E.

He was given responsibilities by the British government in Occupied and Vichy France because he had lived in France during the interwar years and was fluent in French.\n\nAn assignment required Yeo-Thomas to be parachuted into France. Shortly after his arrival he was betrayed and captured by the Gestapo at the Passy metro station in Paris.\n\nThe Gestapo took him to their headquarters in the Avenue Foch, and he was subjected to brutal torture, including beatings, electrical shocks to the genitals, psychological gameplaying, sleep deprivation, and repeated submersion in ice-cold water\u2014to the point that artificial respiration was sometimes required.\n\nAfter the interrogations and torture, he was moved to Fresnes prison. After he made two failed attempts to escape he was transferred first to Compi\u00e8gne prison and then to Buchenwald concentration camp. Within these various detention camps he attempted to organize resistance.\n\nLate in the war, he briefly escaped from Buchenwald and, on his recapture, was able to pass himself off as a French national and sent to Marienburg, Stalag XX-B, a \"better\" camp, where the Nazis sent enlisted Frenchmen, instead of back to Buchenwald. It is reasonable to conclude that his chances of surviving the remainder of the war at Buchenwald were low.\n\nAfter the war he resumed his life in France.\n" "Notable people mentioned in the book" "\n* Phil Lamason\n* Christopher Burney\n* Harry Peulev\u00e9\n* St\u00e9phane Hessel\n* Alfred Balachowsky\n* Hermann Pister\n* Karl-Otto Koch\n* Ilse Koch\n* Pierre Brossolette\n* Eugen Kogon\n* Erwin Ding-Schuler\n* Jean Moulin\n" "References" "\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n"

Within these various detention camps he attempted to organize resistance.\n\nLate in the war, he briefly escaped from Buchenwald and, on his recapture, was able to pass himself off as a French national and sent to Marienburg, Stalag XX-B, a \"better\" camp, where the Nazis sent enlisted Frenchmen, instead of back to Buchenwald. It is reasonable to conclude that his chances of surviving the remainder of the war at Buchenwald were low.\n\nAfter the war he resumed his life in France.\n" "Notable people mentioned in the book" "\n* Phil Lamason\n* Christopher Burney\n* Harry Peulev\u00e9\n* St\u00e9phane Hessel\n* Alfred Balachowsky\n* Hermann Pister\n* Karl-Otto Koch\n* Ilse Koch\n* Pierre Brossolette\n* Eugen Kogon\n* Erwin Ding-Schuler\n* Jean Moulin\n" "References" "\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n"

"Ufa-Pavillon am Nollendorfplatz" "Introduction" "\n\n\n\nCines Nollendorf-Theater c.1914. The architect was Oskar Kaufmann, and the seated figure above the entrance and the bas-reliefs of the frieze on the Motzstra\u00dfe side are by Franz Metzner.\nThe '''Ufa-Pavillon am Nollendorfplatz''' was a cinema located at 4 Nollendorfplatz, Charlottenburg, Berlin. Built in 1912-13 and designed and decorated by leading artistic practitioners of the day, it was the German capital's first purpose-built, free-standing cinema Described as \"historically, ... the most important cinema in Berlin\", it incorporated a number of technical innovations such as an opening roof and a daylight projection screen, and opened as the '''Nollendorf-Theater''' in March 1913.\n\nThe cinema was built by a group of US investors allied with the Italian film company Cines which included the American millionaire Joe Goldsoll (a high-class swindler and con-man); Albert H. Woods, a Hungarian theatrical producer based in New York to whom Goldsoll was related by marriage; and Edward B. Kinsila, later a film studio architect. The Nollendorf-Theater was rumoured to have been \"paid for by the Pope's money.\" One of the directors of Cines was Ernesto Pacelli, President of the Banco di Roma, who was in the confidence of Pope Leo XIII and the uncle of Pope Pius XII.\n\nIt became the '''Cines Nollendorf-Theater''' in 1914, but Cines collapsed in late 1915 after the Banco di Roma, one of its main investors, fell into financial difficulties. The building was acquired by the Union-Theater Lichtspiele (U.-T.) chain of cinemas, part of Paul Davidson's PAGU company. Although PAGU was bought in late 1917 by Universum-Film AG (Ufa), the cinema continued to be known as the '''Union-Theater Nollendorfplatz''' until 1923. It was renamed as '''Ufa-Theater Nollendorfplatz''' in 1924 and finally as the Ufa-Pavillon in 1927. It was badly damaged during World War 2 in an RAF bombing raid in late 1943.\n" "Design" "The fa\u00e7ade of the Nollendorf-Theater cinema. 1913 drawing by August Unger, who also designed the internal d\u00e9cor and the curtain in the auditorium.\nPoster for a Deutsche Werkbund exhibition in Cologne from May to October 1914, after a design by Peter Behrens \nThe Cines Nollendorf Theater was one of a number of buildings constructed during a brief period in Berlin's industrial and public architecture from around 1900 where Historicism (represented by the Gr\u00fcnderzeit and the highly decorative Jugendstil movements) came to an end, to be replaced by Modern Architecture from the early 1920s onwards.\n\nThe architect was Oskar Kaufmann, one of the proponents of the so-called 'Neuberliner' architectural style, largely influenced by the work of Alfred Messel who had died in 1909:\n: \"In our new Berlin style\u2014which has been cultivated by a majority of the exuberant upcoming students of Messel\u2014the pillar that we have been lacking for so long (particularly the elongated Doric architecture) is once more finally drawn into the light of day.\"\n\nThe seated figure over the entrance and the bas-reliefs of the external frieze were by sculptor Franz Metzner, and August Unger was responsible for the internal decoration. The stained glass windows in the foyer were executed by Gottfried Heinersdorff from Unger's designs: and Georg Roch and Hermann Feuerhahn created the ceiling lights with their figurines in the auditorium.\n\nThe Nollendorf-Theater can be seen as an example of architectural 'Gesamtkunstwerk', a work created by a typical assemblage of masters of their craft found particularly in Germany (and less so in the United States). The films made by Ufa and other companies shown in the cinema during the 20s and 30s were also informed by this idea of an artistic guild of equals. This collective approach resulted in a flexible, dynamic and fluid group of artistically minded, highly creative and even visionary film-makers which produced many of the classic films which are still discussed and referenced in the 21st century.\n\nThe architecture of the Nollendorf-Theater is plainer and more severe than the Gr\u00fcnderzeit and Jugendstil styles, and embodies distinctly 'modern' sculptural and artistic motifs. The overall approach seems to have some stylistic connections with and the Deutscher Werkbund, a \"cultural-economic association of artists, architects, entrepreneurs/businessmen and experts\", founded in 1907.\n\nOther contemporary developments in search of \"a more modern and useful architecture\" for Berlin include: the AEG turbine plant by Peter Behrens (1909); Kaufmann's Volksb\u00fchne and the introduced new trends in theatre construction (in addition to the Ufa-Pavillon and his 1914 conversion of the Gro\u00df-Berlin Theater, later the Ufa-Palast am Zoo); the Pergamon Museum and the capital's first department stores were drafted by Alfred Messel; and Hermann Muthesius designed a new and modern Country House style for Berlin's newly developing suburbs.\n" "Description" "Edward B. Kinsila in his book ''Modern Theater Construction'' gives a (fulsome, bordering on purple prose) description of the interior of the Nollendorf.\n\nAlso, from an article in the contemporary trade journal ''Kinotheater'':\n:\"Opposite the 'Mozartsaal' a curious building has arisen, and the gazes of the passers-by are already steered towards the exterior, with its windowless and thus distinguished, seemingly inventive, fa\u00e7ade. The glass paintings (illuminated from the inside) which constitute a unique decoration of the entrance, bespeak\u2014through their symbolic figures\u2014the building's purpose: a cinema.\n\n:At first glance the auditorium comes across as almost overwhelming. If you didn't know that it has been decked out after the American paradigm, you might suppose that you were being confronted with an entirely new style. This is something genuinely new for Berlin, and one must give Oskar Kaufmann his due, for he has understood how to bring to fruition something outstanding and appropriate to its purpose. The room, decorated in ivory colours, is completely carpeted in grey plush, against which the lilac folding seats are advantageously silhouetted. The ceiling gravitates downwards towards sumptuous, multi-coloured relief arabesques, and the light fixtures are of outstanding beauty.\n\n:The theatre contains 650 places, whose prices between 1 and 3 marks are allotted to stalls, circle and boxes. The staircase does not lead separately - like in German theatres in general - to the auditorium, but from both sides of the stalls; and (through the continuous curved arc of the balcony) generates a wholly idiosyncratic embellishment of the house. Everything is austerely modern, plain, and elegant.\"\n\nThe film critic of the Berlin daily '''' was much taken with the auditorium on the opening night:\n:\"First, a word about the interior of the theatre: Adorable. Damped, effective light falls down through splendid bronze balls. The whole plain, sober and simple interior is delicately mauve -white; even the numerous ushers (''Platzanweiser'') are exceptional in their new violet tailcoat livery. All in all, a jewellery box of the very best kind.\"\n\nIt was not as big as the Ufa-Palast am Zoo, which soon become Berlin's premier cinema. The Ufa-Palast was also owned/leased by Goldsoll and Woods and converted in 1913 from a stage theatre by Oskar Kaufmann. The Ufa-Pavillon was seems to have been used more for press showings.\n\n;Not so Oriental\nSomewhat confusingly, 'Cines' is also a native adjective in the German language, meaning 'Chinese'. However, the Cines-Theater was not a 'Chinese theatre', as at least two writers seem to believe.\n" "Critical reception" "Seated figure by Franz Metzner above the main entrance of the Cines Nollendorf-Theater, c.1913. In later years it was usually hidden behind a large advertising poster.\nAccording to one contemporary critic, the building exhibited \"the gracefully ironic pathos, the erotically overloaded sacrilege, the rhythmical dissonance of solemnity and dance\", which became the key formal elements of the 'Ufa style.'\n\n\"Cinema buildings are not, at any rate, slow in arriving, and take interesting forms of great experimental significance, as is the case of Oskar Kaufmann's Cines Theater, inaugurated in 1913.\"\n\nBefore World War 1, \"Germany had led the world in the development of serious, modern cinema architecture. Oskar Kauffmann's ... Cines-Theater in Berlin's Nollendorfplatz was one of the first significant free-standing purpose-built cinema structures. It was among the first attempts at a sober, modern language of cinema architecture, presenting an austere picture to the world with three looming blank walls \".\n\nWith its somewhat detached, intellectual, high-cultural prose, ''Berliner Architekturwelt'' briefly referred to the new cinemas in Berlin, singling out the building on the Nollendorfplatz: \n:\"We lack the space to completely register the 'cinemas'; it should at least be mentioned that the first of this type, namely the edifice built by Oscar Kaufmann on the Nollendorfplatz has been inaugurated, and the newest scintillating Muse (albeit 'Piccadillyfied' by the imbecile name of Cines), genuinely offers an artistic home which we also think to publicise. The same artist, as is generally known, is now finishing the Theater der neuen freien Volksb\u00fchne - whose future is now assured - in the B\u00fclowplatz in Scheunenviertel, which thereby perhaps gets away from his past.\n\n\"An early high point of the grounding phase of the film palaces was the Cines-Theater, opened in 1913, the first \"free-standing building conceived solely in the interests of cinema\", a \"sober, grey, and particularly windowless cube.\"\n" "Early history" "\n===Background===\nIn December 1908 a highly restrictive and monopolistic trust, the Motion Picture Patents Company (MPPC), otherwise known as the 'Edison Trust', was set up to combine the power of the major US film companies. This was particularly worrying for European film makers, since they were almost entirely excluded from the American market. They met in Paris in February 1909 to discuss sales and rental methods to get out a crisis of over-production (especially in France) and the supply of film stock (mostly made by Eastman Kodak) to the European manufacturers.\n\nThe Cines logo\nPresent at the meeting was a representative of Cines ('Societ\u00e0 Italiana Cines'), an Italian film production company based in Rome. It had opened branches in London, Paris and Barcelona by 1907, and was the distributor for the Ambrosio Film production company of Turin. Cines began to expand considerably outside Italy, making preparations for an 'escalation strategy' to spend more on film productions and film portfolios. Cines had no distributor in the US at the time, and Mario A. Stevani (director general of Cines since 1910) made a trip to the USA in March\u2013May 1911, and signed a contract with the Edison Trust (MPPC) to sell a million meters (3 million feet) of film per year. His main contact was George Kleine, a Chicago film importer and leading member of the MPPC, who made huge profits importing foreign films into the US, using his MPPC-license to acquire the films. Kleine became the distributor of Cines films in the US, and the Marquis di Serra (one of the directors of Cines) was appointed agent in the UK.\n\nCines also received an injection of capital from a group of US investors, acquiring cinemas and distributors in Germany to increase its share of the marginal cinema revenues that its films generated: in 1912 Cines had a capital of 3.75 million lire ($712,125). Among the American investors and interested parties were: F. J. \"Joe\" Goldsoll; his younger brother L. H. Goldsoll, and Edward B. Kinsila; Albert H. Woods (who invested $160,000); Klaw and Erlanger and Charles Frohman, theatrical impresarios; and Pat Casey, an experienced vaudeville agent. Goldsoll was the general manager of his Cines-Theater AG company, which held the Cines rights for Germany. This was a separate entity from the parent Cines company in Rome.\n\n===Construction===\nU-Bahn station (l. foreground) and Neues Schauspielhaus (c.). The Ufa-Pavillon was built in front of the tower of the American Church in Berlin (r.)\nAlthough its exact origins are slightly unclear, the cinema seems to have been built from mid-1912 by Joe Goldsoll, a millionaire high-class con man and swindler whose Cines-Theater AG company owned the rights to Cines films in Germany. He appears (as F. J. Goldsoll) as its owner ('Eigent\u00fcmer)' in the 1913 Berlin address book. Goldsoll, as the main financial backer, was joined by Albert H. Woods (sometimes shortened to Al. Woods), a Hungarian theatrical producer based in New York, whose interest in films and cinemas seems to have begun with his involvement with the 1912 film ''The Miracle'', produced by Joseph Menchen. Al. Woods's wife was Goldsoll's cousin.\n\nThe late owner of the previous building on the new cinema's site was Baron Rudolf von Renvers, von B\u00fclow's doctor and confidant, who died in 1909. The deal to build the cinema was promoted by the slightly unusual Edward B. Kinsila, at the time a London-based American property developer: he later became a cinema and film studio designer in the US.\n\nGoldsoll, \"a non-combatant in show-things\", with Al. Woods and a \"theatrical mob\" including A. L. Erlanger, Pat Casey and Charles Frohman, sailed on the for a 4-to-6 week tour of Europe on 3 April 1912.\n\nOne of the first mentions of the new cinema appeared in the ''Moving Picture World'' in October 1912:\n:\"Projection Department: From Berlin\"\n:Mr. Edward B. Kinsila, Nollendorf Theater, Berlin, Germany, writes: \n:\"I am building here what I hope will be the finest cinematograph theater in the world, and naturally I want to give the very best picture. The auditorium will be lighted during the showing of the picture, and the screen placed back on a thoroughly darkened stage about 18 feet from the proscenium opening. The throw will be made through the auditorium onto the screen, a distance of about 70 feet. It is my understanding that the best light effect is produced where the amperage is high and the voltage low, or the reverse. Will you be good enough to tell me just what voltage and amperage of direct current will be the very best? I can use up to 220 volts, and any amperage I like. I have no desire to economize on the light. I want the best effect, that is all.\"\n\nIn December 1912 Kinsila (or Kinsella) claimed to be associated with Goldsoll in the building of the new cinema:\n\n:\"Berlin's finest and newest cinematograph playhouse, the Nollendorf Theater, which is about to open its doors, is the creation and property of two Americans, the Messrs. Goldsoll and Kinsella. The building, which is like a Greek temple, is architecturally one of the most striking structures in the Kaiser's capital, and does much to beautify the big Nollendorf Platz, on which it stands. \n:The new theatre contains one feature which is an absolute novelty in German picture-houses, namely, that it does not require to be darkened while the films are being shown. Its domed roof is also an innovation, as it is built to be removed in summer, and during other propitious weather, so at night the spectators have nothing above them but the starlit heavens.\"\n\nIt was also the first cinema with a sloping floor and the seating in a fan-shaped arrangement. However, by the time the Nollendorf-Theater opened in March 1913 Kinsila seems to have left the scene, and it was being reported as the \"creation and property of F. J. Goldsoll and Al. Woods.\"\n\n===Opening===\nHanns Heinz Ewers, who gave a speech at the opening night of the Nollendorf-Theater.\nThe inauguration on 19 March 1913 of this \"palace of unheard-of luxury\" made a \"genuine sensation.\" The evening began with a dithyrambic speech in praise of the cinema (the ''Kintopp'') by Hanns Heinz Ewers, one of the most outspoken pro-''Autorenfilm'' literati.\n\nThe main attraction, however, was the German premi\u00e8re of the Cines blockbuster epic of Ancient Rome ''Quo Vadis?'', to which Woods and Goldsoll controlled the German rights. Woods also owned the worldwide rights outside the US, where the rights were controlled by George Kleine. Like the presentation of the film of ''The Miracle'' in London and New York (to which Woods also owned the rights), ''Quo Vadis?'' also featured live actors in the auditorium to reinforce some scenes: \"special mobs\" were organised by Ryszard Ordynski (Richard Ardinski), Max Reinhardt's manager at the Deutsches Theater, who had stage-managed performances of ''The Miracle (play)'' in London in 1911-12, and later in Vienna in 1914. There was an orchestra of about twenty-five men and a full line of sound effects. The orchestra was hidden in a gallery behind and above the proscenium.\n\nThe theatre manager Jacob J. Rosenthal, visiting Berlin, wrote that \"''Quo Vadis'' is creating a furore in Berlin though it has been very badly mutilated by the censor, who doesn't seem to offer much objection to the risqu\u00e9 or even the immoral, but who strenuously objects to fights or violence. You can imagine what happened to ''Quo Vadis.''\n\nThe critic of the Berlin newspaper '''' was more enthusiastic about Ewers' speech than the film which followed:\n: \"With his optimism Evers is not wrong: simply, the cinema's victorious career will reach a very different goal than is given to it today. Not entertainment, but instruction will be the main attraction of cinema in the future. Individual scenes were animated by singing, applause, etc., which can be described as partly successful.\"\n\nThe critic Ferdinand Kiss was especially vitriolic about the whole affair: \n:At the Nollendorfplatz in Berlin, a new cinema has been let loose upon humanity. The opening film: ''Quo Vadis'', or the persecution of Berliners by Nero in anno 1913. ... And to outdo all that has gone before - within the film, and in general - one reaches to a desperate medium. What flickers up yonder? Is it Nielsen? Perhaps Lindner? Or even Nauke? No, it's Ewers ... , \"the cinema's most fervent advocate, who consecrated the newly opened movie-house by means of a dithyrambic speech.\" In all other respects, it's downhill too. Fate has ordained filming and Ewers. ... How will it all end? We want to experience Nauke and see only the flickering Ewers instead.\"\n\nAccording to one report, the Nollendorf-Theater and the Cines-Palast am Zoo, where ''Quo Vadis?'' also showed, were each taking about 4,500 marks ($1,000) a night with 'Quo Vadis,' giving two performances nightly but no matinees.\n\nStill from ''Quo Vadis?''\nSiegfried Kracauer, writing in 1947, was evidently unaware of the live element incorporated into the film show: \n:\"Despite the evolution of domestic production, foreign films continued to flood German movie theaters, which had considerably increased in number since 1912. A new Leipzig Lichtspiel palace was inaugurated with ''Quo Vadis'', an Italian pageant that actually received press reviews as if it were a real stage play.\"\n\nKracauer is referring here to the opening night of the K\u00f6nigspavillon-Theater on Promenadestrasse, Leipzig (owners, Goldsoll & Woods), on Thursday 24 April 1913 with ''Quo Vadis?'', complete with real actors and a prologue (probably spoken by the \"flickering Ewers\"). This seems to be exactly the same show as on the opening night of the Nollendorf-Theater in Berlin in March 1913.\n\nThe house manager of the Cines-Theater in 1913 and 1914 was the stage actor Valy Arnheim later a director and film actor.\n" "Later history" "By the end of May 1913 the cinema had been renamed the Cines Nollendorf Theater.\n\nAfter the success of ''Quo Vadis?'', Woods and Goldsoll opened a large chain of theatres in Germany, France, Belgium and the Netherlands, many for Kinovaudeville shows. They leased fourteen in Berlin alone, and converted the Gro\u00df-Berlin Theater (later the Ufa-Palast am Zoo) into a cinema, where the architect was again Oscar Kaufmann.\n\nGoldsoll severed his connection with Cines in February 1914, buying out the interests of Al. Woods and the Societ\u00e0 Italian Cines in the Berlin-based Cines-Theater AG: Woods pulled out of Germany altogether. Goldsoll re-organized his much-reduced assets as the Palast-Theater AG, taking control of the Cines Palast am Zoo and the Cines Apollo-Theater (Berlin) cinemas, and leasing the Friedrich-Wilhelm-St\u00e4dtisches Theater for operetta. \n \nThe Cines Nollendorf-Theater \"reverted\" to the Societ\u00e0 Italiana Cines. A German Cines company was formed, Deutsche Cines GmbH, whose offices occupied the old address of Cines-Theater AG at Friedrichstrasse 11. Goldsoll invested in Ambrosio Film, based in Turin, becoming a director by July 1914.\n\n'''Goldsoll's later career'''\n\nDuring World War 1 Goldsoll, a naturalised French citizen, was imprisoned in D.C. Jail in 1917 while Washington District courts decided whether or not to extradite him to France. He faced charges of defrauding the French war-time government out of millions of dollars in commissions on Pierce-Arrow trucks exported to the French War Department. Goldsoll was released on appeal to the US Supreme Court in 1919. Goldsoll invested heavily in Goldwyn Pictures, joining the board of directors in July 1919 and, ousting Samuel Goldwyn to become managing director from 1922 to 1924, turned around the fortunes of the ailing company. Woods joined him on the board as a director.\n\n===Banco di Roma===\nMonsignor Eugenio Pacelli (the future Pope Pius XII and nephew of Ernesto Pacelli, president of the Banco di Roma, (l.) and Cardinal Secretary Merry del Val at the signing ceremony of the Serbian concordat, underneath the picture of Pope Pius X, 24 June 1914\nAssertions that the Pope's money was involved in the building of the Nollendorf , appear to be based on more than mere rumour. The Banco di Roma was co-founded in 1880 by Ernesto Pacelli, who soon had the confidence of Pope Leo XIII. According to John F. Pollard , \"It would ... be no exaggeration to say that the Pacellis were the most important family to be associated with the Papacy since the Borgias.\"\n\nThe Societ\u00e0 Italiana Cines was founded in Rome in April 1906, and Pacelli became a director before August 1910. The Banco di Roma. apparently speculating with Papal funds, was also running dubious bank-owned enterprises in Tripoli and Salonika (and possibly perhaps Mogadishu, Somalia). Joe Goldsoll seems to have become involved with Cines in around 1912, and if there is any truth in the rumours that the Nollendorf-Theater was \"paid for by the Pope's money\", they would probably revolve around the fact that a hard-gambling, high-class con man and swindler and the president of a bank which was a quarter owned by the Vatican were both directors of closely-linked film and theatre companies.\n\nUnfortunately, the bank was in deep trouble by 1914, having suffered severe losses arising out of the Italo-Turkish War (known in Italy as the Libyan War) of 1911-1912\n\nA contemporary memoir of pre-war Germany summed up the extravagance accompanying the whole corrupt situation:\n:\"Then, only a few months before the war, the whole thing crashed. The exorbitant payment of the writers, musicians, painters, actors, managers, the foolish waste of money caused by the production of certain films, which involved the trailing of whole companies of performers to the most distant corners of the world, hurled the enterprise to inevitable disaster. One bankruptcy followed another, while the ordinary comic and patriotic film and the unpretentious playlet quietly reappeared. The sumptuous palaces were ungilded, became skating rinks, halls for Tango teas, or cabarets.\"\n\n===Collapse of Cines===\nWhen World War 1 broke out in August 1914 Italy was nominally allied with the Central Powers, but remained neutral. The war triggered a general international financial instability, and in the public rush to buy War Bonds, 18.3 million lire were withdrawn from the Banco di Roma between January and March 1914. Italy eventually joined the Triple Entente and declared war on Austria-Hungary in May 1915. The bank continued to haemorrhage its cash deposits and the value of its shares plummeted, despite an emergency loan arranged by Pacelli from the Banco d'Italia. Pacelli resigned as president of the Banco di Roma in September 1915, although he was still personally highly indebted to it. To repay his loans he forfeited his shares in the bank, and was forced to sell his villa.\n\nThe investments made by Pacelli and the Banco di Roma suddenly unravelled as depositors continued to withdraw millions of lire: by November 1915 Cines had collapsed, along with the bank's other enterprises in Tripoli and Salonika.\n\nIt appears that the Nollendorf-Theater and all the former Cines properties were sold around this time to the Union-Theater (U.T. or U-T Lichtspiele) chain of cinemas, owned by Paul Davidson of PAGU: its name was changed to the '''Union-Theater Lichtspiele'''. This corporate name was shared by many other cinemas in Berlin and Germany, such as the Union-Theater-Lichtspiele in Dresden, and the U.T.-Lichtspiele in L\u00fcbeck.\n\n===Ufa===\nUfa logo\nAlong with Messter-Film and Nordisk Film,) PAGU was one of the three main companies which formed the nucleus of giant conglomerate Universum-Film AG (Ufa), set up in complete secrecy by the German government as part of its propaganda effort in late 1917. The companies which made up Ufa retained their individual identities for some time, and by 1921 the cinema was known as the '''U.-T. Nollendorfplatz''' although it was owned by Universum-Film AG. It became the '''Ufa-Theater Nollendorfplatz''' in 1924, but Ufa was bankrupt by 1925, having spent enormous sums on films like ''Die Nibelungen'' and ''Der letzte Mann''. It seems likely that Ufa sold back control of the old Union Theater Lichtspiele cinema chain to its former owner, Paul Davidson, former head of production at Ufa.\n\nThen in December 1925 Ufa announced the so-called Parufamet contract, which gave virtual control of Ufa's first-run theatres (including the Ufa-Theater am Nollendorfplatz) to Paramount and Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer while also granting them 50 percent of income from Ufa's own productions. Two years later Ufa was bought by the right-wing media tycoon Alfred Hugenberg (whose own company Deulig (formerly DLG) had been absorbed into Ufa in 1920), and the cinema received its final name, '''Ufa-Pavillon''' in 1927.\n\n===''Metropolis''===\n\n1927 theatrical release poster\nAnnouncements that Fritz Lang's ''Metropolis'' would be shown at the Ufa-Pavillon am Nollendorfplatz had appeared as early as 6 January 1927. The cinema's exterior was coated all over with a shimmery silver paint, and illuminated by floodlights; the statue over the entrance was covered by a huge replica gong which featured towards the end of the film. ''Metropolis'' received a double world premi\u00e8re on 11 January 1927: a gala premi\u00e8re at the Ufa-Palast am Zoo, where the director, film crew and cast were in the audience along with the German President Marx, and a lower-key premi\u00e8re at the Ufa-Pavillon am Nollendorplatz.\n\nMost of the press attended the gala performance at the 2,165 seat Ufa-Palast, and this seems to have given rise to the idea that ''Metropolis'' only premi\u00e8red at the Ufa-Palast, along with a brief news item in Ufa's own publicity magazine: \"''Metropolis'' was shown with huge success at the Ufa-Palast am Zoo and from the 11th onwards at the Ufa-Pavillon Nollendorfplatz.\" For example, from a review which appeared the following day: \"The film \"Metropolis\", after its premiere yesterday at the Ufa-Palast am Zoo, will be screened from to-day on at the Ufa Pavilion at the Nollendorfplatz. Many books have since repeated this idea that the premi\u00e8re took place on 10 January at the Ufa-Palast only, e.g. \"The day after the premiere, it transferred for four months to the UFA-Pavilion at the Nollendorfplatz\"\n\nHowever, at least one journalist did go to the screening at the Ufa-Pavillon am Nollendorfplatz on 10th January and wrote a review concentrating on Gottfried Huppertz's score, which was conducted by Richard Etlinger. This review appeared in the daily ''Film Kurier'' the following day, 11 January, along with a general film review from the UFA-Palast am Zoo.}\n\nThe film continued to show for about four months at the Ufa-Pavillon, the only cinema in the whole of Germany where it could be seen. \n\nUfa's own publicity magazine claimed that \"Press and public are unanimously thrilled by the grandiose work of cinematography.\" Although many critics commented favourably on the film's technical achievements, a significant number were singularly unimpressed by the underlying philosophy of the script: \n\n \nHerbert Ihering summed up the single performance at the Ufa-Palast am Zoo: \"A great premiere - much applause by the audience for the director Fritz Lang, for the cameraman Karl Freund, for the actors Alfred Abel, Heinrich George and Brigitte Helm. As for the film? No effort spared with brilliant technical detail, but it was wasted on a banal, no longer pertinent idea. The city of the future with the text of a bourgeois past.\"\n\n===Destruction===\n\nThe cinema was closed after it was damaged during an RAF bombing raid in 1943. There were 17 large raids on Berlin from November 1943 to the end of January 1944. It seems quite possible that the Ufa-Pavillon was bombed on 22/23 or 23/24 November 1943, right at the start of the Battle of Berlin: \"A vast area of destruction stretched from the central districts westwards across the mainly residential districts of Tiergarten and Charlottenburg\". Buildings destroyed or severely damaged include: Kaiser Wilhelm Memorial Church and the Gloria-Palast, the Ufa-Palast am Zoo across the square, the Berlin Zoo and much of the Unter den Linden.\n\nThe American Church in Berlin (literally next door) was destroyed probably in early 1944. \nA block of 1960\u2019s era apartments now stands on the site.\n\n''See also'' \u00a7 External links\n" "Name changes" "* March 1913: Nollendorf-Theater\n* May 1913: Cines Nollendorf Theater\n* February 1914: Cines Nollendorf Theater\n* November 1915: Union Theater Lichtspiele (or U.-T.

"V sign" "Introduction" "\n\nWoman showing the V sign\n\nThe '''V sign''' is a hand gesture in which the index and middle fingers are raised and parted, while the other fingers are clenched. It has various meanings, depending on the cultural context and how it is presented.\n\nWhen displayed with the palm inward towards the signer, it has long been an offensive gesture in some Commonwealth nations. In the 1940s, during the Second World War, a campaign by the Western Allies to use the sign with the back of the hand towards the signer ( in Unicode) as a \"V for Victory\" sign proved quite effective. During the Vietnam War, in the 1960s, the \"V sign\" was widely adopted by the counterculture as a symbol of peace. Shortly thereafter, it also became adopted as a gesture used in photographs, especially in Japan.\n" "Usage" "The meaning of the V sign is partially dependent on the manner in which the hand is positioned:\nSinger Robbie Williams using a V sign with palm facing signer as an insult.\n* If the palm of the hand faces the signer (i.e., the back of the hand faces the observer), the sign signifies:\n** As an insulting gesture in Australia, the Republic of Ireland, New Zealand, South Africa and the United Kingdom.\n** The number '2' in American Sign Language.\n* With the back of the hand facing the signer (palm of the hand facing the observer), it can mean:\n** The number '2'\n** Victory \u2013 in a setting of wartime or competition. It was first popularised in January 1941 by Victor de Laveleye, a Belgian politician in exile, who suggested it as a symbol of unity in a radio speech and the subsequent \"V for Victory\" campaign by the BBC. It is sometimes made using both hands with upraised arms as United States President Dwight Eisenhower, and in imitation of him, Richard Nixon, used to do.American actor Steve McQueen flashing the V sign for a mugshot, after being arrested for drunk driving.\n** Peace, or friend \u2013 used around the world by peace and counter-culture groups; popularized in the American peace movement of the 1960s. The commonality with the symbol's use from the 1940s was it meaning the \"end of war\".\n** V (the letter) \u2013 used when spelling in American Sign Language.\n* When used with movement, it can mean:\n** Air quotes \u2013 flexing fingers, palm out, both hands.\n** This hand shape is also used in a number of signs in many sign languages, including (in American Sign Language) \"to look\" (with the palm down) or \"to see\" (palm up). When the pointer and middle fingers are pointed at the signer's eyes then turned and the pointer finger is pointed at someone it means \"I am watching you.\" \n** The ordinal \"second\" in American Sign Language has the V-sign palm forward, then the hand turns (yaws) until the palm faces backward.\n" "As an insult" "The use of the V sign (\"the forks\") as an insulting gesture, including the use of the upwards swing at the elbow.\nThe insulting version of the gesture (with the palm inwards ) is often compared to the offensive gesture known as \"the finger\". The \"two-fingered salute\", (also \"the forks\" in Australia) is commonly performed by flicking the V upwards from wrist or elbow. The V sign, when the palm is facing toward the person giving the sign, has long been an insulting gesture in England, and later in the rest of the United Kingdom, Ireland, Australia, Canada, India, Pakistan and New Zealand. It is frequently used to signify defiance (especially to authority), contempt, or derision.\n\nAs an example of the V sign (palm inward) as an insult, on November 1, 1990, ''The Sun'', a British tabloid, ran an article on its front page with the headline \"Up Yours, Delors\" next to a large hand making a V sign protruding from a Union Jack cuff. ''The Sun'' urged its readers to stick two fingers up at then President of the European Commission Jacques Delors, who had advocated an EU central government. The article attracted a number of complaints about its alleged racism, but the now defunct Press Council rejected the complaints after the editor of ''The Sun'' stated that the paper reserved the right to use vulgar abuse in the interests of Britain.\n\nOn April 3, 2009, Scottish football players Barry Ferguson and Allan McGregor were permanently banned from the Scottish national squad for showing the V sign while sitting on the bench during the game against Iceland. Both players were in their hotel bar drinking alcohol after the Scottish defeat to Holland until around 11\u00a0am the next morning, meaning that both of the players breached the SFA discipline code before the incident as well, but the attitude shown by the V sign was considered to be so rude that the SFA decided never to include these players in the national line-up again. Ferguson also lost the captaincy of Rangers as a result of the controversy. Allan McGregor returned to Scotland national squad in 2010.\n\nSteve McQueen gives the sign in the closing scene of the 1971 motorsport movie, ''Le Mans''. A still picture of the gesture was recorded by photographer Nigel Snowdon and has become an icon of both McQueen and the film itself. The gesture was also flashed by Spike (played by James Marsters) in \"Hush\", a Season 4 episode of ''Buffy the Vampire Slayer''. The scene was also featured in the series' opening credits for all of Season 5. It was censored by BBC Two only in its early-evening showings of the program.\n\nFor a time in the UK, \"a Harvey (Smith)\" became a way of describing the insulting version of the V sign, much as \"the word of Cambronne\" is used in France, or \"the Trudeau salute\" is used to describe the one-fingered salute in Canada. This happened because, in 1971, show-jumper Harvey Smith was disqualified for making a televised V sign to the judges after winning the British Show Jumping Derby at Hickstead. His win was reinstated two days later.\n\nHarvey Smith pleaded that he was using a Victory sign, a defence also used by other figures in the public eye. Sometimes foreigners visiting the countries mentioned above use the \"two-fingered salute\" without knowing it is offensive to the natives, for example when ordering two beers in a noisy pub, or in the case of the United States president George H. W. Bush, who, while touring Australia in 1992, attempted to give a \"peace sign\" to a group of farmers in Canberra\u2014who were protesting about U.S. farm subsidies\u2014and instead gave the insulting V sign.\n\n===Origins===\nA commonly repeated legend claims that the two-fingered salute or V sign derives from a gesture made by longbowmen fighting in the English and Welsh archers at the Battle of Agincourt (1415) during the Hundred Years' War, but no historical primary sources support this contention. This origin legend dictates that the English and Welsh archers who were captured by the French had their index and middle fingers cut off so that they could no longer operate their longbows, and that the V Sign was used by uncaptured and victorious archers in a display of defiance against the enemy. Moreover, it was common practice in warfare of that period to summarily execute common soldiers, since they held no ransom value.\n\nThe first unambiguous evidence of the use of the insulting V sign in the United Kingdom dates to 1901, when a worker outside Parkgate ironworks in Rotherham used the gesture (captured on the film) to indicate that he did not like being filmed. Peter Opie interviewed children in the 1950s and observed in ''The Lore and Language of Schoolchildren'' that the much-older thumbing of the nose (cock-a-snook) had been replaced by the V sign as the most common insulting gesture used in the playground.\n\nBetween 1975 and 1977 a group of anthropologists including Desmond Morris studied the history and spread of European gestures and found the rude version of the V-sign to be basically unknown outside the British Isles. In his ''Gestures: Their Origins and Distribution'', published in 1979, Morris discussed various possible origins of this sign but came to no definite conclusion:\n\n\n" "Victory sign" "=== Second World War: V for Victory campaign ===\nWinston Churchill, British prime minister, giving a V sign in 1943\nOn 14 January 1941, Victor de Laveleye, former Belgian Minister of Justice and director of the Belgian French-speaking broadcasts on the BBC (1940\u201344), suggested in a broadcast that Belgians use a V for ''victoire'' (French: \u201cvictory\u201d) and ''vrijheid'' (Dutch: \"freedom\") as a rallying emblem during the Second World War. In the BBC broadcast, de Laveleye said that \"the occupier, by seeing this sign, always the same, infinitely repeated, would understand that he is surrounded, encircled by an immense crowd of citizens eagerly awaiting his first moment of weakness, watching for his first failure.\" Within weeks chalked up Vs began appearing on walls throughout Belgium, the Netherlands and Northern France.\n\nBuoyed by this success, the BBC started the \"V for Victory\" campaign, for which they put in charge the assistant news editor Douglas Ritchie posing as \u201cColonel Britton\u201d. Ritchie suggested an audible V using its Morse code rhythm (three dots and a dash). As the rousing opening bars of Beethoven's Fifth Symphony had the same rhythm, the BBC used this as its call-sign in its foreign language programmes to occupied Europe for the rest of the war. The more musically educated also understood that it was the Fate motif \"''knocking on the door''\" of the Third Reich.\n(). The BBC also encouraged the use of the V gesture introduced by de Laveleye.\n\nBy July 1941, the emblematic use of the letter V had spread through occupied Europe. On 19 July, Prime Minister Winston Churchill referred approvingly to the V for Victory campaign in a speech, from which point he started using the V hand sign. Early on he sometimes gestured palm in (sometimes with a cigar between the fingers). Later in the war, he used palm out. After aides explained to the aristocratic Churchill what the palm in gesture meant to other classes, he made sure to use the appropriate sign. Yet the ''double-entendre'' of the gesture might have contributed to its popularity, \"for a simple twist of hand would have presented the dorsal side in a mocking snub to the common enemy\". Other allied leaders used the sign as well; since 1942, Charles de Gaulle used the V sign in every speech until 1969.\n\nThe Germans could not remove all the signs, so adopted the V Sign as a German symbol, sometimes adding laurel leaves under it, painting their own V's on walls, vehicles and adding a massive V on the Eiffel Tower.\n\nIn 1942, Aleister Crowley, a British occultist, claimed to have invented the usage of a V-sign in February 1941 as a magical foil to the Nazis' use of the Swastika. He maintained that he passed this to friends at the BBC, and to the British Naval Intelligence Division through his connections in MI5, eventually gaining the approval of Winston Churchill. Crowley noted that his 1913 publication ''Magick'' featured a V-sign and a swastika on the same plate.\n\n\nFile:H\u00e5kon 7. malt i veien.jpg|Resistance graffiti on a Norwegian road, depicting the V-sign together with the initials of King Haakon VII.\nFile:Bundesarchiv Bild 183-2004-0216-500, Paris, deutsche Parole am Bourbon-Palast.jpg|A German V-sign and slogan on the Palais Bourbon in occupied Paris.

October 2, 2016.\n\n\n===Vietnam War, victory and peace===\nNixon departing the White House on 9\u00a0August\u00a01974\nU.S. President Richard Nixon used the gesture to signal victory in the Vietnam War, an act which became one of his best-known trademarks. He also used it on his departure from public office following his resignation in 1974.\n\nProtesters against the Vietnam War (and subsequent anti-war protests) and counterculture activists adopted the gesture as a sign of peace. Because the hippies of the day often flashed this sign (palm out) while saying \"Peace\", it became popularly known (through association) as the peace sign.\n" "As a photography pose" "\n===Japan===\nYoung Japanese women giving V gesture in Tokyo (2006)\nThe V sign, primarily palm-outwards, is very commonly made by Japanese people, especially younger people, when posing for informal photographs, and is known as , or more commonly simply . As the name reflects, this dates to the Vietnam War era and anti-war activists, though the precise origin is disputed. The V sign was known in Japan from the post-World War II Allied occupation of Japan, but did not acquire the use in photographs until later.\n\nIn Japan, it is generally believed to have been influenced by Beheiren's anti-Vietnam War activists in the late 1960s and Konica's advertisement in 1971. A more colorful account of this practice claims it was influenced by the American figure skater Janet Lynn during the 1972 Winter Olympics in Sapporo, Hokkaid\u014d. She fell during a free-skate period, but continued to smile even as she sat on the ice. Though she placed third in the competition, her cheerful diligence and persistence resonated with many Japanese viewers. Lynn became an overnight foreign celebrity in Japan. A peace activist, Lynn frequently flashed the V sign when she was covered in Japanese media, and she is credited by some Japanese for having popularized its use since the 1970s in amateur photographs.\n\nBecause of its popularity in Japan, it exists as an Emoji and is in Unicode, as the sequence U+270C, or \u270c.\n\n===Other East Asian countries===\nIn Mainland China, Hong Kong, South Korea and Taiwan, the V sign is a popular pose in photographs. It is used in both casual and formal settings. For the most part in these countries, the gesture is divorced from its previous meanings as a peace sign or as an insult; for most the meaning of the sign is \"victory\" or \"yeah\", implying a feeling of happiness. It is used in both directions (palm facing the signer and palm facing forward). In certain contexts the sign simply means \"two\", such as when ordering or boarding a bus.\n\nThe pose is gaining significant popularity in South Korea due to the common usage amongst Kpop idols and young people \u2013 especially in selfies. V signing is commonly linked with aegyo, a popular trend in Korea meaning 'acting cutely'.\n\n===Elsewhere===\n\nthe ''Stardust'' spacecraft at the Johnson Space Center in Texas.\n\nIn the United States, the usage of the V sign as a photography gesture is known but not widely used. The original poster for the 2003 film ''What a Girl Wants'' showed star Amanda Bynes giving a V sign as an American girl visiting London. In the US, the poster was altered to instead show Bynes with both arms down, to avoid giving the perception that the film was criticizing the then-recently commenced Iraq War.\n" "Specific uses" "Lech Wa\u0142\u0119sa and George H. W. Bush, July 1989\n\nSinger Rihanna using the V sign, 2011.\n\n2009 Iranian election protests\n\n* In Argentina, the V sign, besides \"victory\", is linked to a political movement, the Peronism.\n* In South Africa after the Nationalist Party won the 1948 election with less voters than the opposition, V's appeared as graffiti representing the word \"Volkswil\" (will of the people) and questioning thus the results.\n* University of Southern California and Villanova University students, alumni, and fans \"throw their Vs up\" in tradition and as a sign of pride of their university and athletic teams. The V sign in this form frequently accompanies the motto 'Fight on!' at USC. \n* V sign, especially when printed in green, is a sign of the Iranian Green Movement.\n* After the first elections in Iraq after the U.S. Invasion, a well known photo was circulated of a woman showing the V sign with one of her fingers dipped in purple ink. The ink is used to identify individuals who have already voted.\n* In Poland during the Solidarity movement, protesters showed the V sign meaning they would defeat Communism. After partially free elections, when Tadeusz Mazowiecki was chosen as prime minister (August 24, 1989), he went to the MPs with the V sign, which was transmitted on TV. It is sometimes shown during debates about the fall of Communism.\n* In Romania the sign represents victory and has been used as an extension of the Roman salute to announce that victory has been achieved. It was used heavily during the Romanian revolution after the ousting of Nicolae Ceau\u0219escu. Mircea Dinescu is appearing in the first transmission of the Romanian Television after the revolutionaries occupied it shouting \"We won!\" and flashing the victory sign.\n* During the Yugoslav Wars, Croatian and Bosnian troops and paramilitary militia used the sign as a greeting or an informal salute. U.S. and NATO peacekeepers stationed in Bosnia were forbidden to use the V-sign (peace symbol) to avoid upsetting or offending Serbs they might encounter.\n* In Vietnam, the V sign means \"hello\" since the Vietnamese word for the number \"2\" sounds like the English pronunciation of the greeting \"hi\".\n* Ringo Starr of the Beatles uses the 'V' sign extensively while quoting the phrase \"Peace and Love\" as a sort of catchphrase.\n* A variation is to put the V sign with the fingers on either side of the mouth (usually knuckle facing the observer) and to stick the tongue out. Most of the time the tongue is wriggled around. This is used to signify cunnilingus and the gesture is often off-colour.\n* A partially obscured V sign can be added to someone else's head to produce devil's horns or 'bunny ears' for an amusing photo. In September 2013, Manu Tuilagi apologised to Prime Minister David Cameron after making a \u201cbunny ears\u201d sign behind his head in a photo taken during a visit by the British and Irish Lions squad to Downing Street.\n* In Indonesia, candidate of presidential election Joko Widodo use that sign for political campaign. The sign called 'Salam Dua Jari'.\n* The V sign has also been used for Catalan independence movements to mark its struggle to hold a self-determination referendum, particularly during a demonstration on Catalan National Day September 2014.\n* In Belgium, the N-VA (Flemish party) use it as a rallying. During the taking the oath of the actual Belgian federal government, 3 N-VA ministers used the V sign instead of the formal 3 fingers sign.\n" "Footnotes" "\n" "References" "* Desmond Morris with Peter Collett, Peter Marsh and Marie O'Shaughnessy.

"Wallace & Gromit: The Curse of the Were-Rabbit" "Introduction" "\n\n\n\n'''''Wallace & Gromit: The Curse of the Were-Rabbit''''' is a 2005 British stop-motion animated comedy film. The film was produced by Aardman Animations in partnership with DreamWorks Animation, and was the last DreamWorks animated film to be distributed by DreamWorks Pictures. It was directed by Nick Park and Steve Box as the second feature-length film by Aardman after ''Chicken Run'' (2000).\n\n''The Curse of the Were-Rabbit'' is based on the ''Wallace and Gromit'' short film series, created by Park. The film follows eccentric inventor Wallace (voiced by Peter Sallis) and his mute and intelligent dog, Gromit, as they come to the rescue of the residents of a village which is being plagued by a mutant rabbit before an annual vegetable competition.\n\nThe film introduces a number of new characters, and features a voice cast including Helena Bonham Carter and Ralph Fiennes. It was a critical and commercial success, and won a number of film awards including the Academy Award for Best Animated Feature, making it the second film from DreamWorks Animation to win (after ''Shrek''), as well as both the second non-American animated film and second non-computer animated film to have received this achievement (after ''Spirited Away''). It is also the only stop-motion film to win the award.\n" "Plot" "\nTottington Hall's annual Giant Vegetable Competition is approaching. The winner of the competition will win the coveted Golden Carrot Award. All are eager to protect their vegetables from damage and thievery by rabbits until the contest, and Wallace and Gromit are cashing in by running a vegetable security and humane pest control business, \"Anti-Pesto\".\n\nAs the event draws close, Wallace finds themselves running out of space to cage the rabbits. He is inspired to create the Mind Manipulation-O-Matic machine to brainwash the rabbits and remove their appetite for vegetables. On his first attempt, a rabbit is stuck to Wallace's head as he uses the machine's headpieces, and Gromit destroys the machine to protect Wallace. The machine appears to have worked as the rabbit shows no interest in vegetables though appears to have gained some intelligence. They name the rabbit Hutch while Wallace begins rebuilding the device.\n\nOver the night, several townsfolk report a giant Were-rabbit tried to eat their vegetables. Wallace suspects that Hutch may be the Were-rabbit and keeps him caged up. Lady Tottington holds an emergency town meeting, in which the hunter Lord Victor Quartermaine offers to shoot the Were-rabbit. However, Lady Tottington persuades the rest of the town to continue with Anti-Pesto's services. Victor, who really seeks to woo Lady Tottington, becomes jealous of Wallace, and later corners him in the forest. But to Victor and his dog Philip's shock, Wallace transforms into the Were-rabbit under the light of the full moon and bounds away. Gromit, who also witnessed the transformation, lures Wallace back home to protect him. Victor obtains three \"24-carrot\" gold bullets from the town's reverend to use against Wallace the next evening.\n\nThe celebration begins the next day. Gromit convinces Wallace that he is the Were-rabbit, and Wallace hides himself away. Lady Tottington, who has come to like Wallace, comes to visit and tells him about Victor's plan. But when the moon rises, Wallace, beginning to change into a Were-rabbit, shoos Lady Tottington away to avoid seeing him. As she leaves, Victor arrives and attempts to fire on Wallace with the golden bullets. Gromit creates a distraction to allow Wallace, as the Were-rabbit, to escape; the hunter gives chase to Wallace as he heads for the competition. Gromit, with the help of Hutch, plans to sacrifice the giant marrow he had been growing as bait to lure Wallace back to safety.\n\nWallace, as the Were-rabbit, creates chaos at the fair, and Victor is unable to hit Wallace with the bullets. Instead, he grabs the Golden Carrot trophy to use as ammo for his blunderbuss. Wallace grabs Lady Tottington and climbs onto one of the towers of Tottington Hall, where she discovers Wallace's connection to the Were-rabbit. Victor gives chase, revealing that he only wants to impress Lady Tottington for her money. When Gromit arrives, Philip attempts to prevent him from interfering, leading to the two into a dogfight using aeroplanes taken from a fairground attraction. Gromit gets the upper hand, sending Philip's plane to the ground, then steers his plane into Victor's line of fire just as he is about to shoot the Golden Carrot at Wallace. The plane takes the hit and starts to go down, whereupon Wallace jumps off the tower, grabs Gromit and sacrifices himself to cushion their fall into a cheese tent. Victor gloats about his victory, but Lady Tottington hits him with her giant carrot, knocking him out into the cheese tent as well, and goes to check on Wallace herself. As the townspeople begin to form a mob to learn the Were-rabbit's identity, Gromit quickly disguises Victor as the Were-rabbit, who is subsequently chased away from town by the mob.\n\nWallace shortly transforms back to his human self and appears dead, but Gromit uses some Stinking Bishop cheese to bring Wallace around. Lady Tottington awards Gromit the Golden Carrot for his sacrifice of the giant marrow, and later converts the grounds of Tottington Hall into a safe habitat for Hutch and the other captured rabbits.\n" "Cast" "\nHelena Bonham Carter at the film's North American premiere at the 2005 Toronto International Film Festival\n* Peter Sallis as Wallace, an eccentric and clumsy inventor with an obsession with cheese.\n**Gromit is Wallace's silent, brave and highly intelligent dog, who saves his master whenever something goes wrong.\n* Ralph Fiennes as Lord Victor Quartermaine, an arrogant, cruel, upper class bounder who is fond of hunting; he is rarely seen without his rifle and his hunting dog Philip. He wears a toupee and despises Anti-Pesto. His hunting rifle is apparently a high calibre bolt-action model. It soon becomes clear in the film that Victor's only interest in Lady Tottington is her vast fortune which he is eager to get his hands on. After Lady Tottington discovers that Victor knew that the were-rabbit was Wallace all along, he reveals that all he wants is her money. His surname is similar to Allan Quatermain, the British novelist's H. Rider Haggard's big-game hunter character.\n** Philip is Victor's vicious but cowardly hunting dog who resembles a Bull Terrier. He and his master will do anything to stop the Were-Rabbit, although Philip is bright enough to know that the Were-Rabbit is beyond his hunting skills, and that Gromit, closer to his own size, is a better prospect as the target of premeditated violence.\n* Helena Bonham Carter as Lady Campanula \"Totty\" Tottington, a wealthy aristocratic spinster with a keen interest in both vegetable-growing and 'fluffy' animals. For 517 years, her family has hosted an annual vegetable competition. Lady Tottington asks Wallace to call her \"Totty\" (which is a British term for attractive women) and develops a romantic interest in him. Her forename, Campanula, the scientific name of a bellflower, and her surname is taken from the Lancashire village of Tottington.\n* Peter Kay as Police Constable Albert Mackintosh, the local village constable who judges the Giant Vegetable Contest, although, because of the havoc it creates every year, he would rather it did not happen at all.\n* Nicholas Smith as Reverend Clement Hedges, the local vicar and the first person in the village to witness the Were-Rabbit. He describes the full horror of his encounter with the beast, but Victor refuses to believe him. However, when Victor discovers the true identity of the beast, he turns to the vicar for advice on how to kill it. Reverend Hedges appears to have a wide range of knowledge on the habits and the slayings of supernatural animals, and has a whole cupboard filled with the weapons to defeat them. Although his name appears in the credits, it is never mentioned in the film.\n* Dicken Ashworth and Liz Smith as Mr. and Mrs. Mulch, clients of Wallace and Gromit's Anti-Pesto. Mrs. Mulch is a prominent woman that has a fixation on her gigantic pumpkin. Mr. Mulch speaks little and has a pair of dentures, which he briefly used to knock out a thieving rabbit.\n* Edward Kelsey as Mr. Growbag, an elderly resident of Wallace and Gromit's neighbourhood and a founding member of the town's veg grower's council. He constantly recalls memories of incidents from previous Vegetable Competitions \u2013 comparing them to what may happen to the forthcoming one. Two of the \"disasters\" he mentions are The Great Slug Riot of '32, \"when there were slugs the size of pigs\", and the Great Duck Plague of '53.\n* Peter Sallis (with a sped-up voice) as Hutch, originally just another captive rabbit, but receives special treatment and a name, after an attempt to brainwash him and his fellows goes wrong. He was the first to be suspected of being the Were-Rabbit. Everything that Hutch says is a quotation from Wallace (though, surprisingly, some of the lines were originally spoken by Wallace ''after'' the incident with the Mind-Manipulation-O-Matic). Hutch wears clothes like Wallace's, including his slippers and tank top.\n" "Production" "Director Nick Park at the film's premiere\nThe directors, Nick Park and Steve Box, have often referred to the film as the world's \"first vegetarian horror film\". Peter Sallis (the voice of Wallace) is joined in the film by Ralph Fiennes (as Lord Victor Quartermaine), Helena Bonham Carter (as Lady Campanula Tottington), Peter Kay (as PC Mackintosh), Nicholas Smith (as Rev. Clement Hedges), and Liz Smith (as Mrs. Mulch). Keeping with the tradition of the original short films, Gromit remains silent, communicating only through body language.\n\nPark told an interviewer that after separate test screenings with British and American children, the film was altered to \"tone down some of the British accents and make them speak more clearly so the American audiences could understand it all better.\" Park was often sent notes from DreamWorks, which irritated him. He recalled one note that Wallace's car should be trendier, which he disagreed with because he felt making things look old-fashioned made it look more ironic.\n\nThe vehicle Wallace drives in the film is an Austin A35 van. In collaboration with Aardman in the spring of 2005, a road-going replica of the model was created by brothers Mark and David Arm\u00e9, founders of the International Austin A30/A35 Register, for promotional purposes. In a 500-man-hour customisation, an original 1964 van received a full body restoration before being dented and distressed to perfectly replicate the model van used in the film. The official colour of the van is ''Preston Green'', named in honour of Nick Park's home town. The name was chosen by the Art Director and Mark Arm\u00e9.\n\nFor the US edition of the film, the dialogue was changed to refer to Gromit's prize marrow as a \"melon\". Because the word \"marrow\" is not well known in the US, Jeffrey Katzenberg insisted it be changed. Park explained \"Because it's the only appropriate word we could find that would fit with the mouth shape for 'marrow'. Melon apparently works over there. So we have Wallace saying, 'How's your prize melon?'\". The US version is also heard in the UK bootleg DVD release and when viewed on Netflix in the UK.\n" "Release" "The film had its worldwide premiere on 4 September 2005, in Sydney, Australia. It was theatrically released in the United Kingdom, Hong Kong, and the United States on 14 October 2005. The DVD edition of the film was released on 7 February 2006 (USA) and 20 February 2006 (UK).\n\n===Home media===\nIn Region 2, the film was released in a two-disc special including ''Cracking Contraptions'', plus a number of other extras. In Region 1, the film was released on DVD in Widescreen and Fullscreen versions and VHS on 7 February 2006. Wal-Mart stores carried a special version with an additional DVD, \"Gromit's Tail-Waggin' DVD\" which included the test shorts made for this production.\n\nA companion game, also titled ''Curse of the Were-Rabbit'', had a coinciding release with the film. A novelisation, ''Wallace and Gromit: The Curse of the Were-Rabbit: The Movie Novelization'' by Penny Worms (ISBN 0-8431-1667-6), was also produced.\n\nIt was the last DreamWorks Animation movie to be released on VHS. It was re-released on DVD on 13 May 2014, as part of a triple film set, along with DreamWorks Animation's ''Chicken Run'' and ''Flushed Away''.\n" "Reception" "\n===Box office===\n''Wallace & Gromit'' grossed US$192,610,372 at the box office, of which US$56,110,897 was from the US, where it opened in 3,645 cinemas and had an opening weekend gross of US$16,025,987, putting it at number one for that weekend. During its second weekend it came in at number two, US$200,000 behind ''The Fog''. It remained number one worldwide for three weeks in a row. As of 2016, it is the second highest-grossing stop-motion animated film of all time.\n\n===Critical response===\n''Wallace & Gromit: The Curse of the Were-Rabbit'' received a 95% approval rating on Rotten Tomatoes, based on 176 reviews, with an average rating of 8.1/10. The site's critical consensus reads, \"''The Curse of the Were-Rabbit'' is a subtly touching and wonderfully eccentric adventure featuring Wallace and Gromit.\" The film also received a score of 87 out of 100 on Metacritic, based on 38 reviews, indicating \"universal acclaim.\"\n\n===Accolades===\n\n\n Group !!

Following the split, Aardman retained complete ownership of the film, while DreamWorks Animation retained worldwide distribution rights in perpetuity, excluding some United Kingdom television rights and ancillary markets.

"Wanderlust Circus" "Introduction" "\n'''Wanderlust Circus''' is a theatrical circus troupe based in Portland, Oregon, founded in 2006 by creative partners Noah Mickens and Nick \"The Creature\" Harbar. Since 2006, Wanderlust Circus has grown from a small band of creatives to a full-fledged circus troupe, and non-profit organization. The organization presently comprises a team of acrobats, a 10-piece swing band, a trick-roping cowboy clown; and several aerialists, contortionists, hand balancers, jugglers, and dancers. Their most popular recurring shows have been The White Album Christmas, A Circus Carol, and the dance party series MegaBounce.\n" " History " "\n===Fictional background===\nVictorian English ringmaster William Batty and his spirit cousins, the members of the Wanderlust Circus, are blessed and cursed with conditional immortality: should they ever leave the circus life, their long years will catch up with them leaving them old or even dead. Batty and the Wanderlust Circus all come from different time periods - Victorian England, the Old West, swing-era New York and even the present day. Batty himself is over two hundred years old. Shows follow the troupe's adventures on the road with simple comic stories providing the through line between acts.\n\n===2006-2008: Formation, Batty's Hippodrome, Hippodrome Circus Arts Center===\nMickens and Creature first teamed up in 2006 to form two separate but related circus shows: Wanderlust Circus headed by Creature, and Batty's Hippodrome, led by Mickens and founded during his residency as Creative Director of the now-defunct Someday Lounge. This would not be either artists' first foray into the world of circus arts. Mickens had already worked on three distinctly unique circuses (Cicuri Curajul, Societas Insomnia, and 999 Eyes of Endless Dream); while Creature was director, producer, and ringmaster of San Francisco's Circo Romani before his move to Portland.\n\nThe pair founded the Hippodrome Circus Arts Center, which opened on November 17, 2007 on the lower floor of the Rotture-Branx venue complex (which itself closed in 2015). Mickens and Creature fused circuses in 2008, under the Wanderlust name, after The Hippodrome's owner decided not to continue the venue.\n\n===2008-2011: Bossanova Ballroom, new shows, collaborations, MegaBounce===\nWanderlust Circus eventually settled into the Bossanova Ballroom, and proceeded to put on a series of shows that lasted through 2010. Some of these shows were seasonally recurring, such as the White Album Christmas show (in collaboration with The Nowhere Band, aka the No Star All Star Band, featuring members of the MarchFourth Marching Band, Solovox, Stereovision, and others), the Cirque L\u2019Amour show for Valentine\u2019s Day, and Wonderland Circus, a circus adaptation of Lewis Carroll's Alice in Wonderland with dialogue from the original story. Other shows told the legendary backstory of the Wanderlust Circus itself.\n\nIn 2009, Wanderlust Circus performed at the inaugural celebration for then-mayor Sam Adams, alongside MarchFourth Marching Band and Trashcan Joe.\n\nIn 2010, Wanderlust Circus performed a specially choreographed epic circus on and around the 60-foot steel fire sculptures of The Big Art Experience at American Steel Studios. They performed similar choreography at L.A.'s Electric Daisy Carnival and Oakland's Sand By The Ton. This series was the result of a collaboration with industrial sculptor Dan Das Mann.\n\nIn 2010, Wanderlust Circus & Vagabond Opera co-produced the Queen of Knives theatrical opera. Written by Stern and directed by Mickens; Queen of Knives featured cast members from Vagabond Opera, such as then-cellist Ashia Grzesik; and Wanderlust Circus members like belly dancer NagaSita. Nagasita and Wanderlust Circus also co-produced the multi-episode goth fantasy theatrical series Bogville.\n\nIn 2011, Wanderlust introduced two new show formats. Megabounce which premiered on March 12, 2011, is an annual themed audience participation rave format, featuring circus acts set to live electronic dance music sets from internationally renowned DJs, such as DJ Assault, Bunny, Run DMT, Heyoka, and Butch Clancy. The other new format was The Wanderlust Circus Orchestra, an old-time vaudeville style circus, reminiscent of the Spike Jones TV show. This format features circus performances scored by the swing big band of the same name.\n\n===2012-present: Alberta Rose Theatre, studio album, Umbrella Festival, and 10th anniversary===\nIn 2012, Wanderlust Circus forged a new relationship with the Alberta Rose Theatre, making it their new Portland headquarters for local shows. At the Alberta Rose, Wanderlust Circus developed \"A Circus Carol\", a theatrical circus retelling of Charles Dickens' A Christmas Carol co-produced by Wanderlust Circus and 3 Leg Torso; as well as the annual Umbrella Festival of Circus & Comedy, a multi-day festival showcasing circus, vaudeville, and cabaret acts from across America. Coinciding with Seattle, Washington's Moisture Festival, the Umbrella Festival was designed to attract national circus performers to the West Coast vaudeville circuit,. Umbrella Festival has been well received by local critics.\n\nIn 2012, Wanderlust Circus Orchestra released their first full-length album, \"Joyous Panic,\" featuring original songs and jazz standards, like Everybody Loves My Baby and Sunny Side of the Street.\n\nIn July 2015, Wanderlust Circus was featured on The Travel Channel's show Watt's World in an episode about Portland, Oregon, alongside Voodoo Doughnut, Darcelle XV, and other Portland counter-cultural attractions.\n\n===Cultural context===\nWanderlust Circus is part of a Bohemian revival of circus and cabaret artists in the Pacific NW, which began to show its face around the turn of the 21st Century. Early examples of this movement include MarchFourth Marching Band (2003, Portland OR), Circus Contraption (Seattle, WA) and the Yard Dogs Road Show (San Francisco, CA), all of whom have collaborated with Wanderlust Circus and some of its previous incarnations. The two founders and directors of the troupe, Noah Mickens and Nick \"The Creature\" Harbar, each have a long history of producing, directing, and performing in circus shows in the Northwest.\n\nNick \"The Creature\" Harbar was born and raised on the road. His parents, Mary Ann Willis and Greg Harbar, were the center of a Houston musical ensemble called The Gypsies starting in the 1960s; and played a large role in bringing traditional Romani musicians to the United States and publishing many of their traditional songs for the first time through Mel Bay Music. Creature himself first gained notoriety in San Francisco as a show producer and facilities manager at influential art collective CELLSpace. While living and working there, he and partner Mike Templeton produced and directed a dinner show called Circo Romani, with musical director Zhenya Kolykhanov of The Red Elvises. Their production company was called The Wanderlust Company. Creature moved to Portland in 2006 and contacted Noah Mickens about working together.\n\nNoah Mickens has created and performed in a great number of shows in Portland dating back to 1999, starting with his experimental music and performance series 36 Invisibles, and working on the board of directors for 2Gyrlz Performative Arts. Prior to 1999, Mickens spent his youth singing in rock bands in L.A. and Kansas City, and spent some of his early teen years as a juggling and contorting street performer. Mickens' first circus venture was Cicuri Curajul, a \"fake Romanian Circus\" co-produced with Tony St Clair, which debuted on April 25, 2004 at the Crystal Ballroom. Upon the abrupt dissolution of Cicuri Curajul, Mickens and fire martial arts performer David \"the Fireninja\" founded a ritual performance troupe called Societas Insomnia which lasted from 2004 to 2007. Societas Insomnia featured a variety of performance types meant to evoke a world of nightmares, including fire dancing, suspension, and butoh, along with traditional circus acts and Tuvan throat singing by Enrique Ugalde a.k.a. Soriah, who portrayed the sun. In 2005, Mickens also co-founded and toured with The 999 Eyes of Endless Dream Carnival, an underground freak show, now the 999 Eyes Freakshow, as ringmaster and Master of Ceremonies. While serving as Creative Director of an art bar called Someday Lounge, Mickens returned to a more traditional circus format with a show called Batty's Hippodrome in 2006. Just a few months later, along came Nick the Creature.\n\nBy this time, the Bohemian movement of circus, cabaret, marching bands, burlesque, and freakshows had spread all over the world; with noteworthy centers of activity at New York City's Coney Island, New Orleans, and Los Angeles; and other troupes starting in almost every city.\n\nWanderlust Circus heavily tours festival circuits, performing as featured and ambient circus entertainment for Electric Daisy Carnival, Oregon Country Fair, Sasquatch, Paradiso, Tomorrow World, Symbiosis, Lightning in a Bottle, The SF Edwardian Ball, and others. Wanderlust Circus has also toured across the West, including California, Idaho, Montana, Washington and more.\n" " Wanderlust Circus South (2009-2014) " "In 2009, Wanderlust Circus acrobat Alexander Dial returned to San Diego, California and established his own circus production company called Otherwise Entertainment. After a year spent establishing his new troupe, Dial took on Wanderlust Circus' name for both his existing and future San Diego projects, calling it Wanderlust Circus South. Wanderlust Circus and her sister company collaborated on shows all along the West Coast, stretching from northern Washington to southern California. Wanderlust Circus South entered a period of indefinite hiatus in 2014.\n" " Core troupe " "Wanderlust Circus spring/summer 2014 roster, left to right: Russell Bruner, NagaSita, Mr. Creature, The Rose City Acro-Devils (Jon Dutch, Anngela Burt, Joesai Carr, Scott Maxwell, Amanda Warren), Brittany Walsh, William Batty, Leapin' Louie Lichtenstein, and the Wanderlust Circus Orchestra (Shoehorn, Anna Leander, Joe Haegele, Paul Evans, Jeff Holt, TJ Arko, Griff Bear, Kristopher White).\n\nDozens of entertainers of performed as members of Wanderlust Circus over the years.

"Warner Bros. Television" "Introduction" "\n\n\n\n'''Warner Bros. Television''' ('''WBTV''') is the television production arm of Warner Bros. Entertainment, itself part of Time Warner. Alongside CBS Television Studios, it serves as a television production arm of The CW Television Network (in which Time Warner has a 50% ownership stake), though it also produces shows for other networks, such as ''Shameless'' on Showtime, ''The Leftovers'' and ''Westworld'' on HBO (though Time Warner also owns HBO). As of 2015, it is the world's largest television production company measured by revenue and library (along with Sony's Sony Pictures Television). Its most notable TV shows include ''Friends'', ''ER'', ''The West Wing'', ''Smallville'', ''Supernatural'', ''The Big Bang Theory'', and ''Full House''.\n" "History and Production" "\n===Beginning and saturation===\nPublicity still with 1959 Warner Bros. series leads Will Hutchins (''Sugarfoot''), Peter Brown (''Lawman''), Jack Kelly (''Maverick''), Ty Hardin (''Bronco''), James Garner (''Maverick''), Wayde Preston ''(Colt .45''), and John Russell (''Lawman'')\nThe division was started on March 21, 1955 with its first and most successful head being Jack L. Warner's son-in-law William T. Orr. ABC had major success against its competition with Walt Disney's ''Disneyland'' TV series and approached Warner Bros. initially with the idea of purchasing the studio's film library (WB eventually sold the rights to the negatives of pre-1950 films and pre-1948 cartoons and shorts to Associated Artists Productions, or a.a.p., in 1956). WB formally entered television production with the premiere of its self-titled anthology series ''Warner Bros. Presents'' on ABC. The one-hour weekly show featured rotating episodes of television series based on the WB films, ''Casablanca'' and ''King's Row'', as well as an original series titled ''Cheyenne'' with Clint Walker. The first one-hour television western, ''Cheyenne'' became a big hit for the network and the studio with the added advantage of featuring promotions for upcoming Warner Bros. cinema releases in the show's last ten minutes. One such segment for ''Rebel Without a Cause'' featured Gig Young notably talking about road safety with James Dean.\n\nWith only ''Cheyenne'' being a success, Warner Bros. ended the ten-minute promotions of new films and replaced ''Warner Bros. Presents'' with an anthology series titled ''Conflict''. It was felt that \"Conflict\" was what the previous series lacked. ''Conflict'' showed the pilots for ''Maverick'' and ''77 Sunset Strip'' .\n\nThe success of ''Cheyenne'' led WBTV to produce many series for ABC such as Westerns ''(Maverick'', ''Lawman'', ''Colt .45'', ''Bronco,'' a spin off of ''Cheyenne'', ''Sugarfoot'', and ''The Alaskans''), crime dramas (''77 Sunset Strip'', ''Hawaiian Eye'', ''Bourbon Street Beat'', and ''Surfside 6''), and other shows such as ''The Gallant Men'' and ''The Roaring Twenties'' using stock footage from WB war films and gangster films respectively. The company also produced Jack Webb's ''Red Nightmare'' for the U.S. Department of Defense that was later shown on American television on Jack Webb's ''General Electric True''.\n\nAll shows were made in the manner of WB's B pictures in the 1930s and 1940s; fast paced, lots of stock footage from other films, stock music from the Warners music library and contracted stars working long hours for comparatively small salaries with restrictions on their career.\n\nDuring a Hollywood television writers strike, Warner Bros. reused many plots from its films and other television shows under the nom de plume of \"W. Hermanos\". This was another example of imitating Warner Bros' B Pictures who would remake an \"A\" film and switch the setting.\nJames Garner and Jack Kelly in ''Maverick'', 1959\nTwo of the most popular stars, James Garner and Clint Walker, quit over their conditions. Garner never returned to the Warner's fold during this period. Successful Warner's television stars found themselves in leading roles of many of the studio's films with no increase in salary. Efrem Zimbalist, Jr. was simultaneously the lead of ''77 Sunset Strip'', in a recurring role on ''Maverick'', and also headlined several films until exhaustion forced the studio to give him a rest. Many other actors under contract to Warner's at the time, who despite their work conditions, did see their stars rise over time, albeit for most only briefly, included Jack Kelly, Will Hutchins, Peter Brown, Ty Hardin, Wayde Preston, John Russell, Donald May, Rex Reason, Richard Long, Van Williams, Roger Smith, Mike Road, Anthony Eisley, Robert Conrad, Robert McQueeney, Dorothy Provine, Diane McBain, and Connie Stevens. Edd Byrnes and Troy Donahue would go on to become teen heartthrobs. Another contract player, Englishman Roger Moore (''Maverick'' and ''The Alaskans''), was growing displeased with Warner as his contract was expiring and would relocate to Europe from Hollywood, becoming an international star on TV, and eventually, in films. Warners also contracted established stars such as Ray Danton, Peter Breck, Jeanne Cooper and Grant Williams. These stars often appeared as guest stars, sometimes reprising their series role in another TV series.\n\nThe stars appeared in Warner Bros. cinema releases with no additional salary, with some such as Zimbalist, Walker, Garner (replacing Charlton Heston in ''Darby's Rangers''), and Danton (replacing Robert Evans in ''The Rise and Fall of Legs Diamond'') playing the lead roles; many of the stars appeared in ensemble casts in such films as ''The Chapman Report'' and ''Merill's Marauders''. Some stars such as Connie Stevens, Edd Byrnes, Robert Conrad and Roger Smith made albums for Warner Bros. Records.\n\nIt was during this period, that shows, particularly Westerns like Cheyenne and Maverick; and the crime dramas like ''77 Sunset Strip'', ''Hawaiian Eye'' and ''Surfside 6'' featured catchy theme songs, that became just as much a part of the American pop culture landscape, as the shows themselves. Depending on the particular show (in this case, the Westerns), William Lava or David Buttolph would compose the music, with lyrics by Stan Jones or Paul Francis Webster, among others. For the crime shows, it was up to the songwriting team of Jerry Livingston and Mack David, who also scored the themes for the sitcom ''Room for One More'', and ''The Bugs Bunny Show''.\n\nIn 1960, WBTV turned its attentions to the younger viewer, for one program, anyway, as they brought Bugs Bunny and the other WB cartoon characters to prime time, with ''The Bugs Bunny Show'', which featured cartoons released after July 31, 1948 (which had not been sold to a.a.p.), combined with newly animated introductory material. Also, that year saw the debut of ''The Roaring Twenties'' (which was thought to be a more benign alternative to Desilu's ''The Untouchables''. Whether or not that was the actual case, it was, in fact, much less successful). \n \nWBTV expanded on its existing genre of Westerns and crime dramas, and in January, 1962, produced its first sitcom, ''Room For One More''. Based on the memoirs of Anna Rose, which in 1952 WB made into a movie starring Cary Grant and his then wife Betsy Drake (the only movie that they worked together in) about a married couple with two children of their own, who went on to adopt at least two more, the TV series starred Andrew Duggan and Peggy McKay as George and Anna Rose. Acting legend Mickey Rooney's son Tim, and Ahna Capri, who would continue to do episodic TV roles and feature films (arguably, her best-known movie was ''Enter the Dragon'' starring Bruce Lee) were cast as the Rose's natural children. The show only lasted for half a season. In the fall of that year, a WWII drama ''The Gallant Men'' debuted, but lasted for only one season.\n\nWBTV exclusively produced shows for the ABC network until 1963, when ''Temple Houston'' premiered on NBC.\n\nIn 1964, WBTV once again tried to turn a classic film comedy of its own into a sitcom, with ''No Time for Sergeants''. Both the sitcom and the 1958 movie were based on the 1955 Broadway play, which starred Andy Griffith (TV's ''U.S. Steel Hour'' also adapted the stage play for TV in 1956). The sitcom starred Sammy Jackson as Will Stockdale, a naive Georgia farm boy drafted into the military. 1965 saw the debut of ''F-Troop'', a Western spoof taking place at a U.S. Army post after the Civil War. Despite lasting two seasons, it is still considered a classic. Forrest Tucker, Larry Storch, and Ken Berry led an ensemble cast featuring military misfits, and an Indian tribe, who, among other things, forgot how to do a rain dance.\n\nThe streak of identifiable series subsided in 1963 with a halt of using stock company (acting) contract players and Jack Webb taking over WBTV and not being particularly successful. However, many series were still filmed at Warner Bros. such as ''F-Troop'' and ''The F.B.I.''\n\n===Later years===\n\nIn 1976, the company acquired The Wolper Organization, most notably for ''Chico and the Man'' and ''Welcome Back, Kotter''. In 1989, it acquired Lorimar-Telepictures. Telepictures was later folded into WBTV's distribution unit, and in 1990, came back as a television production company. In 1993, Lorimar Television was folded into WBTV.\n\nIn 2006, WBTV made its vast library of programs available for free viewing on the Internet (through sister company AOL's IN2TV service), with ''Welcome Back, Kotter'' as its marquee offering. Some of these programs have not been seen publicly since their last syndicated release in the 1980s.\n\nWBTV has had a number of affiliated production houses that have co-produced many of their shows with WBTV. These include but are not limited to: Bruce Helford's Mohawk Productions (''The Drew Carey Show'', ''The Norm Show'', ''The Oblongs'', ''George Lopez''), John Wells Productions (''ER'', ''The West Wing'', ''Third Watch''), Chuck Lorre Productions (''Two and a Half Men'', ''The Big Bang Theory'', ''Mike & Molly'', ''Mom''), Jerry Bruckheimer Television (''Without a Trace'', ''Cold Case''), Bad Robot Productions (''Fringe'', ''Person of Interest'', ''Revolution''), Rockne S. O'Bannon Television, Miller-Boyett Productions \u2013 which was inherited from Lorimar (''Full House'', ''Family Matters'') and in 2010, Conan O'Brien's production company Conaco switched its affiliation to WBTV from Universal Media Studios, coinciding with O'Brien's move to his new talk show, ''Conan'' at Time Warner-owned TBS.\n\nIn August 2009 in Australia, The Nine Network and Warner Bros. Television launched digital free-to-air channel GO! with Warner Bros. Television holding a 33% stake in the new joint venture with Sony Pictures (titles were later picked up by rival Seven in 2011). During that, the network signed 4 more years with the output between 2011 and 2015.\n\nOn June 11, 2012, Warner Bros. Television acquired Alloy Entertainment. On June 2, 2014, Warner Bros. Television Group purchased all of Eyeworks' companies outside of the United States, rebranding as Warner Bros. International Television Production. Eyeworks USA however, will remain independent.\n" "Partial list of programs produced by WBTV[Woolley, Lynn, Malsbar, Robert, Strange Jr, Robert G.

"Warren the Ape" "Introduction" "\n\n'''''Warren the Ape''''' is an MTV reality show parody which ran from June 14 to August 30, 2010 and aired at 10:30\u00a0p.m. The series is a spin-off of the IFC and Fox TV show ''Greg the Bunny'', and follows the titular character's life as he tries to get his life back together following the cancellation of ''Greg the Bunny''.\n\nWarren has paid more attention to drugs, booze, and women than his career, which has degenerated into a series of seedy exploitation films, obscure industrials, low-rent theater productions, and a regrettable string of skin flicks. With the help of his addiction specialist, Dr. Drew Pinsky, Warren tries (and often fails) to clean up his act, patch up his relationships, and claw his way back into the Hollywood limelight.\n\nThe series was created by Sean S. Baker, Spencer Chinoy, and Dan Milano, and is produced in association with MTV, Freestyle Entertainment, and Picture Shack Entertainment.\n\nOn November 19, 2010, the official ''Greg the Bunny''/''Warren the Ape'' website confirmed that there would be no season 2, and the show was in fact cancelled.\n" "History" "''Greg the Bunny'' was a franchise that began with ''Junktape'' a half-hour, bi-weekly cable TV Public-access television show created by Sean S. Baker, Spencer Chinoy, and Dan Milano. The show aired on New York City's Manhattan Neighborhood Network, Monday nights at 11:30\u00a0p.m. Warren did not appear on ''Junktape'', but when the show's main character, Greg the Bunny, caught the attention of the Independent Film Channel (IFC) and was hired to introduce their independent films, the creators realized they needed someone with a little more intellectual focus to present their trivia segments. This is how Warren \"The Ape\" DeMontague was born.\n\n''The Greg the Bunny Show'' on IFC followed Greg, Warren, and other characters introducing independent films via a series of puppet-acted parodies. Warren and Greg were both performed and voiced by Dan Milano.\n\nWarren and Greg then moved on to Fox TV in their biggest incarnation yet. The Fox show made its debut in March 2002 and its last episode aired in August 2002, with two episodes unaired. Despite its brief run, the series acquired a significant cult following, and was released on DVD in 2004.\n\nIn August 2005, Warren the Ape along with Greg the Bunny returned to the IFC, in a series of short segments, both old and new, spoofing movies such as ''Annie Hall'', ''Miller's Crossing'', ''Barton Fink'', ''Fargo'', ''Blue Velvet'', ''Easy Rider'' and ''Pulp Fiction''. The cast for these segments primarily features puppets Greg and Warren DeMontague, with appearances from Frederick \"Count\" Blah, puppet agent Pal Friendlies, and The Wumpus. Tardy the Turtle and Susan the Monster were unable to appear on IFC because they were created solely for the Fox series. This incarnation lasted for two seasons and is also available on DVD.\n" "Characters" "*'''Warren DeMontague''' (voiced by Dan Milano) is the main character on the show, a veteran stage actor trying to make a new name for himself while having several substance-related vices. Frequently drunk and hardly ever prepared, Warren desperately tries to project an air of dignity (while wearing a ridiculous helmet).\n*'''Dr. Drew Pinsky''' (as himself) is Warren's advisor whom Warren visits to update him on his progress.\n*'''Cecil Greenblatt''' (played by Josh Sussman) is Warren's personal assistant whom he verbally abuses, also serving as his driver.\n*'''Raquel''' (played by Mary K. DeVault) is Warren's \"girlfriend.\"\n*'''Laura''' (played by Laura Kachergus) is the leader of Warren's AA group, who has little patience for Warren's disruptive outbursts.\n*'''Greg the Bunny''' is a side character, the title character of ''Greg the Bunny''. He acts mostly as comic relief, and jokes are made at his expense (particularly by Warren) about how he cannot act and that he is just there to look cute.\n*'''Seth Green''' played Jimmy Bender on the Fox version of ''Greg the Bunny'', bearing a grudge against Warren for sleeping with his girlfriend. At Warren's attempts to patch things up between them, resulting with him accidentally having sex with Clare Grant, Seth ended up heavily hospitalized when accidentally hit by Cecil's car. By the time Warren visits him to borrow some money, Seth manages to regain use of his left hand to give a gesture as his way of saying no.\n*'''Sarah Silverman''' is one of Warren's former co-stars, hates Warren for an unknown reason and changing her number to get away from him. When Warren arrived to her studio to borrow some money, she went out in a rage until Warren seduced her and they had aggressive sex. But in doing so, Warren got their sex scene, though barely filmed from outside the building, on live television while forgetting all about the money in the heat of the moment.\n" "Episodes" "\n\n\n No.\n Title\n Directed by\n Written by\n Original air date\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n" "Appearances in other shows" "Warren the Ape made a guest segment on ''Talk Soup'', which aired in 2002. In it, Warren appears alongside guest host Sarah Silverman.\n" "References" "\n\n" "External links" "* Official ''Warren the Ape'' site\n* MTV's ''Warren the Ape'' site\n* IFC's ''Warren the Ape'' site\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n"
"When You're an Addams" "Introduction" "\n\"'''When You're an Addams'''\" is the opening number of ''The Addams Family'' musical. The music and lyrics are written by Andrew Lippa. The last lines are reprised in the curtain call.\n" "Plot" "''When You're an Addams'' takes place immediately after the overture, as the curtain rises on a graveyard where the Addams family has gathered. Gomez explains that they are there to honor the cycle of life and death, and also to celebrate what it means when you're an Addams. The music has started at this point, and Gomez is eventually joined by his wife Morticia, and after a few more stanzas, the entire family is singing. They then call upon their ancestors to join them in this celebration, which involves line dancing, the bunny hop, the twist, and rigor mortis. The last lines, which are among the most well known from the musical, are as follows:\n\nIt's family first, and family last,\nAnd family by and by!\nWhen you're an Addams,\nThe standard answers don't apply!\nWhen you're an Addams,\nYou do what Addams do or die!\n\n" "Reception " "Overall, the song was better well-received than the original opening number, ''Clandango'', with Patrick Healy of ''The New York Times'' saying that \"When You're an Addams\" \"is more lighthearted and generic\", and Stephen Rader's review saying that it \"presents all of the family members to us as we know and love them from the TV series and subsequent movies.\" The song was nominated for a Broadway.com Audience Award for Favorite New Broadway Song.\n" "References" "\n" "External links" "* ''When You're an Addams'' performance on David Letterman\n\n\n\n"

Marcus' biggest break into the world of e-Sports commentary came when he was unable to follow clan519 to Paris to compete in LAN Arena 7. It was decided that he would provide coverage from home so people in North America could follow the tournament as it progressed. The event sparked a lot of interest in the Quake community, and Marcus realized the potential impact that this form of organized game coverage could have on the entire gaming scene. After spending nearly nine months studying both sports and e-sports commentary, Marcus was ready to unleash his might on the world. Marcus' passion for gaming is fueled by the people with whom he works and the fact that he believes e-Sports commentary is an essential element in making professional gaming a reality.\n\n'''Stuart Saw'''\n\nNickname: TosspoT\n\nWCG events covered: WCG 2004 Grand Final in San Francisco\n\nGames covered: Counter-Strike: Source, Warcraft III: The Frozen Throne, FIFA Football 2005\n\nStuart's gaming passion is deeply rooted in ID's Wolfenstein series. Stuart has been prominent in the Return to Castle Wolfenstein and Enemy Territory communities for many years. More recently, he's ventured out into the world of gaming and has dabbled in Counter-Strike, Quake, and Real Time Strategy games. The WCG Grand Finals in San Francisco in 2004 was Stuart's first LAN event, but he is eager to return to the event that gave him a chance to see how amazing competitive LANs can be! Stuart provided commentary for Warcraft III: Reign of Chaos and FIFA in San Francisco.\n\n'''Paul Chaloner'''\n\nNickname: ReDeYe\n\nGames covered: Counter-Strike: Source, Need For Speed: Underground 2, FIFA Football 2005\n\nA long time online gamer with over five years of experience in Unreal-based First Person Shooters, Paul took up game commentary on his own, borrowing servers for EuroCup 2003. Since then, Paul has covered the Finals of many events, such as Unreal Tournament, UT2003, and UT2004 in EuroCup and Nations Cup, and also Counter-Strike: Source Cup Finals.\n\nSome of his credentials include coverage of the highly publicized Jolt/PC Zone Reader's Challenge.

His love of gaming became evident after his mother demanded he go outside and play: his response was to take the television out onto the deck and continue to play Mike Tyson's Punch Out outside. Jason's online gaming career began with Quake II, where he first met Marcus 'djWHEAT' Graham. Jason also plays a large variety of Massively multiplayer online games, beginning with Ultima Online and more currently, World of Warcraft. He has played Quake II, Unreal Tournament 2004, and Soulcalibur II competitively with some degree of success.\n\n'''Christopher Iannitti'''\n\nNickname: WaCKSteVeN\n\nWCG events covered: WCG 2004 Grand Final in San Francisco, WCG 2003 Grand Final in Seoul\n\nGames covered: StarCraft: Brood War, Warcraft III: The Frozen Throne\n\nChris is a gamer first and a broadcaster second. Starting at the age of five on his Atari and branching out from there, Chris spent his childhood honing his skills on such titles as Kung Fu Master, Contra, and Bad Dudes. This love of computer games and a rather unhealthy obsession with the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles led a friend to introduce him to a book on computer animation, which increased his interest. E-Sports commentary has been a great deal of fun for him, allowing interaction with professional gamers and people in the industry. In addition to playing Real Time Strategy games such as Warcraft III: Reign of Chaos and StarCraft: Brood War, Chris has covered Enemy Territory and Unreal Tournament 2004. He has been an important voice at the WCG Grand Final in 2003 and 2004.\n\n'''Nicolas Plott'''\n\nNickname: Tasteless\n\nGames covered: StarCraft: Brood War, Warhammer 40,000: Dawn of War\n\nNick has been playing games competitively for as long as he can remember.

She continues playing to this day with over 4000 games logged on her Battle.net account.\n\nKim got into game commentary two years ago, casually at first then on a more serious basis when she joined Gamesports.de.

"Zorro, The Gay Blade" "Introduction" "\n\n'''''Zorro, The Gay Blade''''' is a 1981 swashbuckling comedy film from 20th Century Fox, produced by C.O. Erickson and George Hamilton, directed by Peter Medak, that stars George Hamilton, Lauren Hutton, Ron Leibman, and Brenda Vaccaro. Via its dedication to director Rouben Mamoulian and opening prologue, the film establishes that it is a sequel to 20th Century Fox's swashbuckling adventure film ''The Mark of Zorro'' (1940).\n\nGeorge Hamilton was nominated for a Golden Globe award for playing the dual role of both Don Diego de la Vega (Zorro) and his gay twin brother Bunny Wigglesworth, n\u00e9 Ramon de la Vega.\n" "Plot" "In 1840s Madrid, Spain, Don Diego de la Vega is in bed with a married woman. They are caught by her husband, Garcia, and Diego must sword fight with him and his five brothers. During the altercation, Diego's mute servant Paco reads (via gestures) a letter from Diego's father ordering Diego's return to California. Diego and Paco jump from a high wall into a waiting carriage. \n\nWhen the two arrive in Los Angeles, they are met by Diego's childhood friend Esteban, who is now capit\u00e1n of the guard. He has married Florinda, for whom the men competed when they were boys. Diego learns that his father was killed in a riding accident, his horse \"frightened by a turtle\". Esteban is the acting alcalde until the Dons elect a replacement.\n\nEsteban is elected by acclimation and then gives a speech to the assembled peasants. He is interrupted by Charlotte Taylor-Wilson, a wealthy political activist from Boston. She and Diego meet, and despite their political differences, Diego is smitten.\n\nDiego is invited to a masked ball celebrating Esteban's elevation. He also receives his inheritance: Zorro's black cape, hat, and sword, along with a letter from his late father revealing that he was Zorro. That legacy now falls to Diego. He decides the masked ball is the perfect place to announce Zorro's return. On his way there, Zorro witnesses a peasant being extorted. He confronts and defeats Esteban's tax collector, then instructs the peon to spread the word that El Zorro has returned.\n\nDiego, in Zorro costume, dances with Florinda at the ball. Velasquez, the tax collector, reports the theft to Esteban, pointing to Diego as Zorro. A duel ensues with Esteban, and Zorro escapes by again jumping from a high wall, but this time injuring his foot and hobbling away. \n\nLater that night, a drunk Florinda attempts to seduce Diego at his hacienda, but Esteban arrives to speak about the evening's events. He suspects that Diego might be Zorro, but Diego convinces him that his foot is uninjured. \n\nA reign of terror begins, including torture and increased taxation. Diego is frustrated because, being injured, he cannot fight Esteban's tyranny. Fate intervenes when Diego's gay, foppish, and British-educated twin brother Ramon Vegaga, a Royal Navy officer, having adopted the name \"Bunny Wigglesworth\", comes home for a visit. Diego brings him up to date, and Bunny assumes the guise of Zorro, using a whip instead of a sword, while wearing flamboyant Zorro attire in a variety of coordinated colors.\n\nThe colorful Zorro always eludes capture. Esteban hatches a plan to lure Zorro to the alcalde's residence with another ball to show off Florinda's expensive new necklace. Seeing through the plan, Diego arrives dressed as Zorro. So do the rest of the Dons and male party guests, saying that a message from Esteban instructed them all to dress that way. Adding to the confusion, Bunny appears in drag, masquerading as \"Margarita\" Wigglesworth, Diego's cousin from Santa Barbara. Esteban is smitten upon meeting her. Bunny spills a drink on Florinda, and in the resulting chaos attempts to clean her dress, making off with the necklace. As Bunny leaves to return to the Royal Navy, he tells Diego that Charlotte Taylor-Wilson has confessed her love for Zorro.\n\nAt the plaza, Diego as Zorro and Charlotte meet again, falling into each others arms, but they are observed and Esteban is informed. As a ruse to lure Zorro, he has Charlotte arrested, and she is sentenced to be executed. Don Diego as Zorro surrenders to Esteban to save her, and he is sentenced to death.\n\nSeconds before the firing squad opens fire, Bunny, this time wearing a bright metallic gold costume, announces the return of Zorro. With Charlotte's and Diego's aid, Zorro incites the assembled peasants to rebellion. Esteban's guards also rebel, joined by Florinda, and Esteban stands alone, defeated. Later, Bunny finally rides off to catch his ship back to England, waving goodbye, after which Diego and Charlotte ride off to plan their wedding. As her wedding gift, Charlotte suggests that Diego donate all his family lands to the people so they can settle down and raise a family in Boston.\n" "Cast" "\n* George Hamilton as Don Diego Vega / Zorro / Bunny Wigglesworth / Ramon Vega\n* Lauren Hutton as Charlotte Taylor-Wilson\n* Brenda Vaccaro as Florinda\n* Ron Leibman as Captain Esteban\n* Donovan Scott as Paco\n* James Booth as Velasquez\n* Helen Burns as Consuelo\n* Clive Revill as Garcia\n* Carolyn Seymour as Dolores\n* Eduardo Noriega as Don Francisco\n* Pilar Pellicer as Don Francisco's wife\n* Jorge Russek as Don Fernando\n* Eduardo Alcaraz as Don Jose\n* Carlos Bravo y Fern\u00e1ndez as Don Luis Obispo\n* Roberto Dumont as Ferraro\n* Jorge Bolio as Pablito\n* Frank Welker as Narrator (in voice-over)\n\n" "Film Score" "The heroic and romantic music score for ''Zorro, the Gay Blade'' is adapted from the 1948 Errol Flynn-starring swashbuckling adventure film ''The Adventures of Don Juan'', composed by Max Steiner. \"Danzes Fantastica\" by Joaqu\u00edn Turina is also used in the film.
