"William Turner Jr. is a fictional character in the Pirates of the Caribbean films. He appears in The Curse of the Black Pearl (2003), Dead Man's Chest (2006), At World's End (2007), and Dead Men Tell No Tales (2017). He is portrayed by Orlando Bloom (and as a child by Dylan Smith in the prologue of The Curse of the Black Pearl).\n\nWilliam Turner is a blacksmith's apprentice working in Port Royal, Jamaica. He secretly loves the governor's daughter, Elizabeth Swann (played by Keira Knightley and Lucinda Dryzek), although he occupies a lower social class than she does. Will is the son of Bootstrap Bill Turner, and he works to free his father from service to Davy Jones. He marries Elizabeth Swann in At World's End, and they have a son named Henry (played by Dominic Scott Kay, Lewis McGowan, and Brenton Thwaites). Alongside Hector Barbossa, Turner serves as an additional foil to Jack Sparrow's character, taking the role of the straight man with his subdued, good-natured personality.\n\nFictional biography\n\nEarly life\nWill is the only child of \"Bootstrap\" Bill Turner (portrayed by Stellan Skarsgaard). According to Jack Sparrow, Will strongly resembles his father, both in appearance and ability. However, his father was absent during his early childhood in England. Will grew up believing his father to be a merchant seaman. Following his mother's death, Will, then about twelve years old, emigrated to Port Royal.\n\nThe Curse of the Black Pearl\n\nWeatherby Swann and his daughter Elizabeth sail to Port Royal after Weatherby is appointed governor. Elizabeth spots Will clinging to a floating piece of a shipwreck. She discovers a gold medallion around his neck, and hides it to prevent anyone from believing that Will is a pirate. Later Elizabeth finds out the medallion is in fact Cursed Aztec Gold.\n\nOver the next eight years, Will and Elizabeth maintain a respectful friendship, although Will conceals his romantic feelings for her. He is now a blacksmith's apprentice in Port Royal. Will has developed into a master craftsman of fine swords, although his often-drunk master usually claims credit for Will's exquisite workmanship. Will is also an exceptional, self-taught swordsman. The DVD commentary states that he is the best among the characters in the film, including Barbossa, Norrington, and Jack Sparrow. When Jack Sparrow attempts to evade arrest, Will engages him in a duel. Sparrow outwits Will in a sword fight; Will claims Jack \"cheated\" by ignoring the \"rules of engagement.\"\n\nWill learns that his father was the pirate \"Bootstrap Bill\" Turner, who served aboard the Black Pearl when it was commanded by Captain Jack Sparrow. Despite Sparrow's comments that Bootstrap was \"a good man,\" Will remains deeply conflicted over the fact that his father was a pirate. Will learns that when First Mate Barbossa and the crew mutinied and marooned Sparrow, only Bootstrap defended him. Infuriated by Bootstrap's betrayal, Barbossa and his crew had looted a chest of Aztec gold. This resulted in them becoming undead and unable to feel physical pleasure. It was only after they had thrown Bootstrap overboard that they learned how to break the curse: they needed to return all of the gold pieces, and each pirate who took the gold had to make a blood offering as a form of repayment. Because Bootstrap only had one child, Barbossa decides to track down and kidnap the child in order to lift the curse.\n\nIt is revealed that the pirate's medallion stolen by Elizabeth is one of the pieces of Aztec gold. Believing her to be the daughter of Bootstrap Bill, Barbossa kidnaps her. After Elizabeth is kidnapped, Will forms an alliance with Sparrow. He helps Sparrow escape from prison. They commandeer a ship and recruit a crew in Tortuga. They sail to Isla de Muerta, where Barbossa has taken Elizabeth. Unbeknownst to Will, Sparrow intends to use him to bargain back the Black Pearl. When Will learns his role in lifting the curse, he barters himself to Barbossa to free Elizabeth and the crew. In the end, Sparrow and Will succeed in lifting the curse; Sparrow kills Barbossa, and the pirate crew is defeated. At Sparrow's execution in Port Royal, Will declares his love for Elizabeth before attempting to rescue Sparrow from the gallows. They are quickly subdued by redcoats, but Will refuses to abandon Sparrow. Elizabeth intervenes and saves Will by declaring her love for him and vouching for Sparrow. Will is pardoned, while Sparrow escapes by falling off the rampart and into the bay where the Black Pearl awaits.\n\nDead Man's Chest\n\nWill returns with the other main characters from Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl. \n\nFor aiding Jack Sparrow's escape, Will and Elizabeth are arrested just prior to their wedding ceremony by Lord Cutler Beckett, a man made wealthy and powerful by profits from the East India Trading Company. Beckett threatens Will and Elizabeth with execution for aiding Sparrow's escape, but offers clemency if Will can find Sparrow's compass for Beckett's use. This magical compass will allow Beckett to find the heart of Davy Jones. Beckett also possesses a Letter of Marque with which he intends to recruit Jack as a privateer.\n\nTo save Elizabeth, Will hunts for Jack Sparrow and the Black Pearl. He finds the crew captive on Pelegosto, a cannibal-inhabited island. They escape, and are unexpectedly reunited with Pintel and Ragetti. Jack agrees to give Will his compass if he helps him find a key, though he has no idea what it unlocks. Jack seeks out Tia Dalma, a voodoo priestess who takes a particular interest in Will, proclaiming he has a \"touch of destiny.\" Dalma says the key is to the Dead Man's Chest containing the heart of Davy Jones. Sparrow had once struck a bargain with Davy Jones to raise the Black Pearl from the ocean bottom and to make Jack captain for 13 years. Sparrow would then serve aboard the Dutchman for a century. When Jones attempts to collect on this deal, Jack reneges on the bargain.\n\nThe crew searches for Jones, and Will soon finds himself stranded on a wrecked vessel that Jack claimed was Jones' ghost ship, the Flying Dutchman. When the real Flying Dutchman suddenly arrives, Jack attempts to barter Will to Davy Jones to repay his blood debt, but Jones refuses, saying one soul is unequal to another. Instead, he keeps Will as a \"good faith\" payment and demands an additional 99 souls. Otherwise, Jack must surrender or face the Kraken.\n \nWill, now an indentured sailor aboard Jones' ghost ship, meets his father \"Bootstrap\" Bill Turner. When Will challenges Davy Jones to Liar's Dice, betting his soul against the key to the Dead Man's Chest, Bootstrap joins in and purposely loses to save his son from eternal enslavement. With Bootstrap's help, Will steals the key from Jones and escapes in a longboat, vowing to one day free his father. A passing ship rescues Will, but Jones summons the Kraken to destroy it. Will survives and stows back aboard the Dutchman, now headed for Isla Cruces where the Dead Man's Chest containing Jones' heart is buried.\n\nOn Isla Cruces, Will is reunited with Elizabeth, who has escaped jail and joined Jack Sparrow's crew. Also present are Sparrow and former Commodore James Norrington, who has also joined the crew. They locate the chest. Will, Jack, and Norrington each claim the heart for their own purposes. Norrington ultimately steals the heart and the Letters of Marque, escaping just as Davy Jones' crew attacks.\n\nThe Black Pearl flees, outrunning the Flying Dutchman, but Davy Jones again summons the Kraken. Will leads the crew in temporarily fending it off, gaining enough time to abandon ship. When Elizabeth realizes that Sparrow is the Kraken's sole prey, she distracts him with a passionate kiss while handcuffing him to the mast. Unbeknownst to her, Will witnesses this and believes Elizabeth now loves Sparrow. From the longboat, the crew watches the Kraken drag the Pearl and Sparrow to Davy Jones' Locker.\n\nWill, Elizabeth, and the crew seek refuge with Tia Dalma. Gibbs proposes a toast to their fallen captain, to which Will glumly raises his mug. Seeing Elizabeth's tears and believing she loves Sparrow, he tries comforting her. Will and the crew agree to attempt to rescue Sparrow from the Locker.\n\nAt World's End\n\nWill is next seen in Singapore with Elizabeth, Barbossa, Tia Dalma, and the Black Pearl crew. They attempt bargain with Sao Feng, the Pirate Lord of the South China Sea, for the navigational charts leading to World's End and Davy Jones' Locker, so that they can rescue Jack Sparrow. Will had already attempted to steal the charts, but was captured. Ostensibly, the group's mission is to rescue Jack Sparrow from the Locker, but, like the others, Will has a secret motive: to retrieve the Black Pearl and free his father from Davy Jones. When Mercer and the East India Trading Company soldiers attack Sao Feng's bathhouse, Feng strikes a secret bargain with Will: Jack Sparrow in exchange for the Black Pearl. Will and the others journey to World's End on Feng's ship, sailing over an enormous waterfall into the Locker. There, they find Jack aboard the Pearl. Jack sets sail with them, although he and Barbossa dispute who is captain. Will learns that Elizabeth sacrificed Jack to the Kraken. And though he now understands why Elizabeth has been distant and despondent, she believes that her unrelenting guilt over causing Sparrow's doom is her burden alone to bear. Will tells her their relationship will not endure if they lack trust in one another and make their choices alone.\n\nSao Feng betrays Will in lieu of another bargain with Lord Beckett, though Beckett double-crosses Feng. Feng then offers Barbossa the Black Pearl in exchange for Elizabeth, who he mistakenly believes is the sea goddess, Calypso. Elizabeth is stunned that Will betrayed Jack Sparrow to achieve his goal. Ignoring Will, she agrees to Feng's terms in exchange for the crew's safety. Jack tosses Will in the brig, but he soon escapes. Still plotting to obtain the Pearl, Will leaves a trail of bodies for Lord Beckett to follow to Shipwreck Cove, the Brethren Court stronghold. Jack catches him, but surprisingly hands Will his magical compass before pushing him overboard. Clinging to a floating barrel, Will drifts towards Beckett's ship, Endeavour.\n\nWill is exchanged for Jack during parley with Beckett and Davy Jones. Elizabeth tells Will she now understands the burden he bears, but having been aboard the Dutchman, she believes Bootstrap can no longer be saved, although Will disagrees. When Barbossa releases Calypso from her human form, Will tells her that Davy Jones betrayed her to the First Brethren Court. This causes her to turn her fury against both the pirates and Jones, forming a giant maelstrom.\n\nDuring the maelstrom battle, Will proposes to Elizabeth, convincing her this may be their only opportunity to wed. Barbossa performs an impromptu wedding as the battle continues.\n\nWill defends Elizabeth from Davy Jones. He stabs Jones, but Jones is unharmed. Jones mortally wounds Will. Jack, who now possesses Jones' heart guides Will's hand to stab the heart and kill Jones. Bootstrap carves out his son's heart and places it in the Dead Man's Chest. Will becomes the Flying Dutchmans immortal captain. Now under Will's command, the Flying Dutchman resurfaces, and the crew has reverted to human form. Will commands the Dutchman against the Endeavour and the combined firepower of the Black Pearl and the Flying Dutchman destroy the Endeavour, killing Cutler Beckett. The remaining armada retreats without a fight.\n\nWill is now a psychopomp, bound to ferrying souls of those who died at sea to the next world. Will is allowed one day ashore before beginning his ten-year duty aboard the Dutchman. Bootstrap Bill decides to remain on the crew with his son. Elizabeth, a mortal, is unable to accompany them. Will spends his one day with Elizabeth on an island where they consummate their marriage. Before returning to the Dutchman at sunset, he entrusts the Dead Man's Chest containing his beating heart to her care. The Flying Dutchman disappears from the horizon amid the Green Flash.\n\nWill returns ten years later, where he meets Elizabeth and their son, Henry.\n\nDead Men Tell No Tales\n\nOrlando Bloom reprises his role as Will Turner in the fifth film, seen with barnacles forming upon his face, implying he's failing at the responsibilities as Captain of the Flying Dutchman. At the start of the film, Henry Turner deliberately attempts to drown himself to lure in the Dutchman, believing that he has found a way to cure his father of his curse, but Will rejects this idea, certain that there is no way to free him from his duty, asking Henry to forget him. Nine years later, Jack Sparrow recruits Henry, his small crew, a girl named Carina Smyth (who is secretly the daughter of Barbossa) and Barbossa to help him find the Trident of Poseidon, the destruction of the Trident breaking all curses imposed by the sea, including the curse that binds Will to the Dutchman. At the film's conclusion, Will is reunited with Elizabeth. In the post-credits sequence, Will Turner and Elizabeth Swann are asleep when their bedroom is entered by the shadow of an apparently resurrected Davy Jones. Will then awakens and, assuming that he was simply dreaming, goes back to sleep, not seeing a puddle of water and barnacles on the floor.\n\nVideo games\nWill Turner appears in the Pirates of the Caribbean world, Port Royal/The Caribbean, of Kingdom Hearts II and Kingdom Hearts III. In the Japanese version of Kingdom Hearts II as well as in the movies he's voiced by Daisuke Hirakawa, who was also the Japanese voice for Legolas, another famous character portrayed by Bloom. Crispin Freeman provided the voice of Will for the U.S. version of the game since Orlando Bloom was unavailable due to the filming of Dead Man's Chest and At World's End. Freeman was also the voice of Will in the video game Pirates of the Caribbean: The Legend of Jack Sparrow and in the video game adaptation of Pirates of the Caribbean: At World's End.\n\nWill Turner appears in the video game Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest and in Lego Pirates of the Caribbean: The Video Game as a playable character in both games and was again voiced by Crispin Freeman. He also appears in the game Pirates of the Caribbean Online game as the character who gives the player their first sword. In the earlier versions of the game, Will urges the player to run and locate Tia Dalma after soldiers can be heard banging on his door. Will stays behind to confront them, drawing his sword. In the newer version, undead skeletons appear inside instead.\n\nWill Turner appears as a playable character in the video game Disney Magic Kingdoms.\n\nCharacter development and portrayal\n\nDescribed as the \"traditional Errol Flynn type\" of character compared to Johnny Depp's Keith Richards-inspired portrayal of Jack Sparrow, Will Turner was originally written as a prison guard who freed Sparrow to rescue Elizabeth Swann in early drafts of The Curse of the Black Pearl. Actor Orlando Bloom, who took the role of Turner after playing Legolas in Peter Jackson's The Lord of the Rings film trilogy, stated that he read the script after Geoffrey Rush, whom he was working with on Ned Kelly, suggested it to him. Tobey Maguire, Jude Law, Ewan McGregor, Ben Peyton, Christian Bale and Heath Ledger were also considered for the role, with Tom Hiddleston also auditioning for the role.\n\nBloom declined to return for Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides due to \"burnout\". His involvement in Dead Men Tell No Tales was kept a secret until Disney D23. Making a cameo appearance in the film, Bloom alluded to his character's new \"gnarly\" appearance after taking over Davy Jones' post in At World's End, stating that it would be \"fun to do something where I’m rumbling round the bottom of the ocean, because I won’t look anything like me.\"\n\nReferences\n\nExternal links\nWill Turner at the Pirates of the Caribbean wiki\n\nPirates of the Caribbean characters\nFictional English people\nFictional sea pirates\nFictional swordfighters in films\nFictional smiths\nFictional sea captains\nFilm characters introduced in 2003\nMale characters in film\nPsychopomps",

"Scott Samuel \"Scooter\" Braun ( ; born June 18, 1981) is an American entrepreneur, music executive, and business magnate. Braun is known for building and managing the careers of Justin Bieber, Kanye West, Ariana Grande, Demi Lovato, J Balvin, Ozuna, Dan + Shay, The Kid Laroi, and other artists. He is the founder of SB Projects, Schoolboy Records, and Ithaca Ventures; co-founder of TQ Ventures, Mythos Studios, and RBMG Records; and co-owner of esports team 100 Thieves. Braun is the CEO of media company HYBE-America.\n\nEarly life\nBraun was born in New York City to Conservative Jewish parents, Ervin and Susan () Braun. Ervin's parents lived in Hungary until 1956, when they immigrated to the United States. Ervin grew up in Queens, and became a dentist and high-school basketball coach; Susan Schlussel Braun was an orthodontist. After the couple married, they settled in Cos Cob, Connecticut.\n\nBraun has four siblings. He attended Greenwich High School, where he was elected class president. Braun attended Emory University in Atlanta, where he played college basketball until his sophomore year. After Jermaine Dupri asked him to become the head of marketing at his So So Def label, Braun accepted the offer and dropped out of college before completing his degree.\n\nCareer\nBraun began organizing parties while studying at Emory University. In 2002, Braun was hired to plan after-parties in each of the five cities on the Anger Management Tour, featuring Ludacris and Eminem. This foray into the world of hip-hop led Braun to meet Jermaine Dupri, the director of So So Def Records. Braun was 19 years old when Dupri asked him to join So So Def in a marketing position, and 20 when Dupri named him So So Def's executive director for marketing. Events organized by Braun in this era included parties for the 2003 NBA All-Star Game and after-parties for Britney Spears' 2004 Onyx Hotel Tour. Braun left So So Def in 2005, and a few weeks later brokered a $12 million campaign deal between Ludacris and Pontiac. After the Pontiac deal, Braun was hired as an entertainment consultant for the Atlanta Hawks.\n\nIn 2008, Braun scouted 13 year-old Canadian singer Justin Bieber, whom he discovered by accidentally clicking on a YouTube video of Bieber singing. Braun pursued Bieber and his mother Pattie Mallette, eventually convincing Mallette to bring her son to Atlanta, to record demos and to meet Usher. Eventually, Braun convinced them to move permanently from Canada to the United States. Both Usher and Justin Timberlake expressed interest, and Bieber signed with Island Def Jam in partnership with Raymond-Braun Media Group (RBMG). Braun signed Ariana Grande to his record label in 2013. Braun has also managed the careers of Psy, Tori Kelly, Carly Rae Jepsen, Martin Garrix, Kanye West, Black Eyed Peas, David Guetta, Lil Dicky, and others.

The film's budget was $13 million and earned over $100 million worldwide. Braun was the executive producer of Burden, Demi Lovato: Dancing with the Devil, The Giver, The Boy from Medellin, and Project Runway among others. Braun was also an executive producer for the CBS drama Scorpion, which aired from 2014 until 2018. In 2018, Variety reported that FX had ordered a pilot of Dave, a comedy executive-produced by Braun that included actor Kevin Hart and rapper Lil Dicky.

In his view both Louis' creation of a centralised, powerful monarchy and his wars of conquest benefited the French people. The book was translated into English by Mark Greengrass and published in 1990.

"Stanisława Przybyszewska (; 1 October 1901 – 15 August 1935) was a Polish dramatist who is mostly known for her plays about the French Revolution. Her 1929 play The Danton Case, which examines the conflict between Maximilien Robespierre and Georges Danton, is considered to be one of the most exemplary works about the Revolution, and was adapted (albeit with significant ideological edits) by Polish filmmaker Andrzej Wajda for his 1983 film Danton.\n\nBiography\nPrzybyszewska was born Stanisława Pająkówna on 1 October 1901, in Kraków. She was the illegitimate child of the Polish impressionist painter Aniela Pająkówna and the writer Stanisław Przybyszewski, the latter a famous and notoriously dissolute modernist who was one of the founding members of the Young Poland movement. \n\nFrom 1902 to 1906 she lived with her mother in Lviv; from 1907 to 1916, in Western Europe. As a child she traveled with her mother across Europe (Vienna, Munich, Gries near Bolzano, and Paris). \n\nHaving in 1912 lost her mother (who died in Paris of pneumonia), she changed cities, following her guardians. Initially her parents' friends Wacław and Zofia Moraczewski paid for her education, but from 1914 it was her aunt (her mother's sister) Helena Barlińska who took care of the girl. \n\nBetween ages ten and fifteen Przybyszewska attended four different schools in three countries: France (Paris), Switzerland (Zürich, 1912-1914), and Austria (Vienna and Oberhollabrunn). In Austria she took violin lessons and began writing poetry and stories which she destroyed, dissatisfied with her own accomplishments.\n\nFrom 1916 to 1919 she attended the Teachers Institute for Women in Kraków. Kosicka and Gerould wrote, \"... she enrolled in the Teachers Institute, a highly regarded training school, which her mother before her had attended. Although she was an outstanding student, Stanisława was sharply critical of both how and what she was taught, and she considered herself essentially self-educated, since her own special interests led her to the exact sciences, above all mathematics and astronomy.\" As a part of her studies she spent the required year of teaching practice at the elementary school in Nowy Sącz. She passed her Gymnasium examinations cum laude in 1920. In August 1919 she met her father for the first time as an adult. The period of initial fascination with his ideas did not last long, and later in life Przybyszewska was very critical about her father's works.\n\nIn 1920, not without Przybyszewski’s involvement, Stanisława moved to Poznań where she established connections with the expressionistic circle of the journal, The Source, and studied music at the conservatory. She also enrolled into a philology course at the Poznań University and for one term followed a diverse curriculum it proposed: the courses of French and English literature (of the nineteenth and the eighteenth centuries respectively), medieval literature, history of philosophy, Spanish, Latin and Greek languages.\n\nIn 1922 she moved to Warsaw and found a job as a salesgirl in a Communist bookstore; this employment, in the recent aftermath of the Polish-Soviet War, led to her being arrested for a week in Poznań (her official place of residence) before being released for lack of evidence. Kosicka and Gerould noted that \"she took only a theoretical interest in Marxism and remained incapable of becoming directly involved in politics. Stanisława made not a single lasting friendship during her year in Warsaw, but as a result of her incarceration she grew obsessed with the victims of unjust imprisonment and judicial oppression, starting with Robespierre and going up to Sacco and Vanzetti in her own time.\"\n\nFollowing her marriage to an artist Jan Panieński (from Poznań circle) Stanisława moved to Gdańsk where Panieński got a job as an art teacher in the Polish Gymnasium (her father had been instrumental in the creation of the school). The couple participated in the activities of a local group Friends of Science and Art. Though not motivated by love, the marriage proved to be a happy one, as they grew attached to each other. It was not, however, very long: in November 1925, while on an art scholarship in Paris, Panieński died from cardiac arrest.\n\nThe next ten years of Przybyszewska's life were marked by growing isolation and dedication to her work. She only left Gdańsk on a few occasions, one of them being her father's funeral in 1927. There she met her half-sister Iwi Bennet (Dagny Juel's daughter from Przybyszewski), who became, along with her aunt, one of her closest friends and correspondents. Between March 1928 and 9 March 1929 she wrote The Danton Case and, as Kosicka and Gerould noted, \"began to dream of a European career, 'like Conrad', as a way of overcoming her isolation and alienation.\" She devoted much time to the study of contemporary German literature. From Polish writers she valued Joseph Conrad and Juliusz Kaden-Bandrowski, and considered Stefan Żeromski as having huge talent which didn't develop.\n\nShe did not have any stable financial income: the state scholarship that she received in unequal amounts from 1929 to 1933 was not enough to survive, so Przybyszewska depended heavily on the support from Barlińska and Bennet. She lived in poor conditions in the wooden barracks belonging to the Polish Gymnasium. Suffering from poverty and numerous illnesses, she was prescribed increased dosages of morphine by her German doctor Paul Ehmke. Kosicka and Gerould wrote, \"During the last eight months of Stanisława's life, nothing was heard from her; all letters, sent and unsent, stopped. She had grown so weak from gradual emaciation that she could no longer type or hold a pen. Her money gone, even the morphine that had sustained her for so long ran out. On 14 August 1935 in her room am Weissen Turm 1, Baracke Nr. 12, Stanisława Przybyszewska died alone, the official cause of death tuberculosis.\"\n\nWorks and themes\nPrzybyszewska was fixated upon Maximilien Robespierre, and attributed to him, in her writing, extraordinary brilliance and powers of foresight. \"I have the calm certainty,\" she wrote to a friend, \"that I understand Robespierre better than anyone whose works are known to me.\" Przybyszewska depicted Robespierre as having predicted the disastrous rise of capitalism. Robespierre was the central figure in both of her surviving plays, The Danton Case (Sprawa Dantona, 1929), and an earlier unfinished play, Thermidor (1925).\n\nReception and legacy\nBritish author Hilary Mantel remarks of her that she was \"the woman who died of Robespierre.\" One of Mantel's 2017 Reith Lectures on BBC Radio Four, Silence Grips the Town, delivered in Antwerp, was dedicated to Przybyszewska. \n\nPrzybyszewska left a collection of letters written from 1913 to 1934 in several languages to publishers, her friends, and famous European writers like Georges Bernanos, Jean Cocteau, and Thomas Mann, which were published in Gdańsk in the original languages and in Polish in three volumes as Listy (Letters: volume 1, 1978; volume 2, 1983; volume 3, 1985). \n\nThe production of The Danton Case by the Royal Shakespeare Company in 1986 was a realization of the playwright's dream that one day she would be performed in London. This first English-language staging was directed by Ron Daniels and adapted by Pam Gems as The Danton Affair. \n\nJolanta Kajzer has discovered haiku poetry in Przybyszewska's writings.\n\nPublished works\n Ostatnie noce ventôse’a (The Last Nights of Ventôse).

"William Murray, 1st Earl of Mansfield, PC (2 March 170520 March 1793) was a British barrister, politician and judge noted for his reform of English law. Born to Scottish nobility, he was a member of the Scottish Clan Murray, he was educated in Perth, Scotland, before moving to London at the age of 13 to take up a place at Westminster School. He was accepted into Christ Church, Oxford, in May 1723, and graduated four years later. Returning to London from Oxford, he was called to the Bar by Lincoln's Inn on 23 November 1730, and quickly gained a reputation as an excellent barrister.\n\nHe became involved in politics in 1742, beginning with his election as a Member of Parliament for Boroughbridge, now in North Yorkshire, and appointment as Solicitor General. In the absence of a strong Attorney General, he became the main spokesman for the government in the House of Commons, and was noted for his \"great powers of eloquence\" and described as \"beyond comparison the best speaker\" in the House of Commons. With the promotion of Sir Dudley Ryder to Lord Chief Justice in 1754, he became Attorney General, and when Ryder unexpectedly died several months later, he took his place as Chief Justice.\n\nAs the most powerful British jurist of the century, Mansfield's decisions reflected the Age of Enlightenment and moved the country onto the path to abolishing slavery. He advanced commercial law in ways that helped establish the nation as world leader in industry, finance and trade. He modernised both English law and the English courts system; he rationalized the system for submitting motions and reformed the way judgments were delivered to reduce expense for the parties. For his work in Carter v Boehm and Pillans v Van Mierop, he has been called the founder of English commercial law. He is perhaps now best known for his judgment in Somersett's Case (1772), where he held that slavery had no basis in common law and had never been established by positive law (legislation) in England, and therefore was not binding in law; this judgement did not, however, outlaw the slave trade. However, historians note that Mansfield's ruling in the Somersett case only made it illegal to transport a slave out of England against his will, and did not comment on the institution of slavery itself.\n\nEarly life and education\nMurray was born on 2 March 1705, at Scone Palace in Perthshire, Scotland, the fourth son of the 5th Viscount of Stormont and his wife, Margaret, née Scott, and one of eleven children. Both his parents were strong supporters of the Jacobite cause, and his older brother James followed \"The Old Pretender\" into exile. The Jacobite sympathies of Murray's family were glossed over by contemporaries, who claimed that he had been educated at Lichfield Grammar School with many other members of the English judiciary. This was incorrect, as Murray was educated at Perth Grammar School, where he was taught Latin, English grammar, and essay writing skills. He later said that this gave him a great advantage at university, as those students educated in England had been taught Greek and Latin, but not how to write properly in English. While at Perth Grammar School, it became apparent that Murray was particularly intelligent, and in 1718, his father and older brother James decided to send him to Westminster School, as James knew the Dean, Francis Atterbury. The distance from Perth to London was around , and the journey took Murray 54 days. Murray flourished at Westminster and was made a King's Scholar on 21 May 1719.\n\nAfter an examination in May 1723, Murray was accepted into Christ Church, Oxford, having scored higher in the examination than any other King's Scholar that year. He was admitted as a commoner on 15 June 1723, and matriculated on 18 June; the records say that he came from Bath rather than Perth, because the person recording the names of the new students was unable to understand his Scottish accent. His older brother James was an advocate in Scotland, the Scottish equivalent of a barrister in England and his family decided that a career as a barrister was best for Murray. The Scottish Bar at the time was overcrowded, which made it difficult for a young barrister to build a reputation, yet qualifying for the English Bar was extremely expensive. Thanks to the patronage of Thomas Foley, 1st Baron Foley, who gave Murray £200 a year to live on, Murray could afford to study at the bar, and became a member of Lincoln's Inn on 23 April 1724.\n\nAfter George I died on 11 June 1727, Murray entered and won a competition to write a Latin poem titled \"The Death of the King\". His actions were seen as a show of support for the House of Hanover and the political status quo, something odd considering the strong Jacobite sympathies of his family. He probably did this because, having no private income, he wished to secure patronage to help him advance politically. Another entrant was William Pitt, who was a constant rival to Murray until Pitt's death in 1778. There is very little information about Murray's time at Oxford; it is known that he studied ancient and modern history, became fluent in French and gained a good understanding of Roman Law. He also became fluent in Latin, translating Cicero's works into English and then back into Latin. He gained his Bachelor of Arts degree in 1727, and travelled to London to train as a barrister.\n\nFamily life\n\nMurray married Lady Elizabeth Finch, daughter of 2nd Earl of Nottingham and 7th Earl of Winchilsea. They had no children and took care of their great niece, Lady Elizabeth Murray (born 1760), daughter of Mansfield's nephew and heir, David Murray, 7th Viscount Stormont, after her mother died. When Mansfield's other nephew Sir John Lindsay returned to Britain in 1765 following the Seven Years' War and his assignment in the West Indies, he brought his illegitimate daughter, Dido, whose mother, Maria Bell, was an enslaved woman of African descent. Dido was born into slavery in 1761. Dido Elizabeth Belle was baptized in November 1766 in London, 8 months after Lady Elizabeth's arrival. It has been hypothesized that Mansfield took Dido in to provide grieving Lady Elizabeth with a companion who would later be her personal attendant.\n\nMansfield also helped mentor his nephew and heir, David Murray, 7th Viscount Stormont. Later his nieces and unmarried sisters of Lord Stormont, Lady Anne and Lady Marjory Murray, would come to live at Kenwood to care for Lord and Lady Mansfield in their old age.\n\nAt the English bar\nMurray's first contact when he moved to London was William Hamilton, a Scottish-born barrister who was said to be the first Scot to practise at the English Bar, and one of the few people who was qualified to act as a barrister in both England and Scotland. Hamilton had been one of Murray's sponsors when he joined Lincoln's Inn in 1724, and when Murray came to London, Hamilton helped find him a set of barristers' chambers at No. 1 Old Square. At this time, there was no formal legal education, and the only requirement for a person to be called to the Bar was for him to have eaten five dinners a term at Lincoln's Inn, and to have read the first sentence of a paper prepared for him by the steward. Thus, most of Murray's practical training came from reading the papers in Hamilton's chambers and listening to Lord Raymond speak in court, along with tutoring by Thomas Denison on how to write special pleadings. Murray also studied various texts, including the French Ordinance de la Marine (a predecessor to the Napoleonic Commercial Code), the works of Bracton and Littleton and \"crabbed and uncouth compositions\" on municipal law.\n\nMurray was called to the Bar on 23 November 1730, taking a set of chambers at 5 King's Bench Walk. He was introduced to Alexander Pope around this time, and through his friendship met members of the aristocracy, some of whom later became his clients, including Sarah Churchill, Duchess of Marlborough. Pope also taught him oratory, which helped him enormously in court. His first two cases were in the English Court of Sessions in 1733, where he was led by Charles Talbot and opposed by Philip Yorke. The support of Talbot and Yorke allowed him to gain a respectable practice in the Court of Chancery.\n\nThe 1707 Acts of Union had merged the Kingdom of England and Kingdom of Scotland into one national entity, but they retained separate legal systems. However, the House of Lords became the highest court of appeal in both English and Scottish law, and as a result, from 1707 Scottish cases on appeal from the Court of Session were sent there. To deal with these cases, a barrister had to be familiar with both Scottish and English law, and Murray found his niche, acting in Scottish cases in the House of Lords as early as 1733. His work in Moncrieff v Moncrieff in 1734 established Murray as a brilliant young barrister praised for his performance by Lords Cowper and Parker. After Moncrieff, Murray was involved in almost every case in the House of Lords, whether it had been appealed from a Scottish court or not.\n\nIn 1737, Murray acted as Counsel for the City of Edinburgh in the aftermath of the death of Captain John Porteous. In Edinburgh, it was traditional for criminals sentenced to death to be allowed to visit a church near the city jail the Sunday before the execution. Two criminals named Wilson and Robertson took this as an opportunity to escape, and although Wilson did not make it out of the church, Robertson escaped completely. Wilson had been a smuggler who supplied his fellow citizens with goods, and because of this and the unpopularity of the city guard, public opinion was firmly on his side. Porteous was the captain of the Edinburgh city guard, and angry with Wilson's attempt to escape and aware of the possibility of an attempt to free him. Porteous ordered a guard of 80 men to be placed around the gallows for Wilson's execution. When a man attempted to cut Wilson's body down after the execution, Porteous ordered his troops to fire on the crowd, and seven people were killed. Porteous was initially sentenced to death for murder, and when the execution was delayed, a mob of citizens rushed the city jail and lynched him.\n\nAs a result, a bill was proposed in the House of Commons that sought to punish the City of Edinburgh for the behaviour of its citizens by disenfranchising the city. Murray represented the City in both the House of Commons and the House of Lords, and eventually whittled down the bill so much that by the time it was voted on, it simply proposed to fine the city and disqualify the Provost. In exchange for his work, the citizens of Edinburgh gave him the Freedom of the City and a diamond, which is still in the possession of his family. Murray's reputation continued to grow; in 1738, he was involved in 11 of the 16 cases heard in the House of Lords, and in 1739 and 1740 he acted as legal counsel in 30 cases there.\n\nOn 20 September 1738, he married Lady Elizabeth Finch, the daughter of Daniel Finch, 2nd Earl of Nottingham and 7th Earl of Winchilsea, at Raby Castle, home of her sister Duchess of Cleveland in Durham. Her other sisters include Duchess of Somerset, Duchess of Roxburghe and Lady Mary who was married to Thomas Watson-Wentworth, 1st Marquess of Rockingham. Some of the aristocrats thought that the bride had married way below her status and they also accused the groom (at the time just Mr Murray) of social climbing into one of the great English families, which the Finches belonged to. Indeed, Mansfield's marriage helped him be accepted by the highest level of the aristocracy. Murray's connection with the Marquess of Rockingham especially had a significant positive influence on his future career. After a short holiday, Murray returned to his work as a barrister.\n\nMember of Parliament\n\nMurray had repeatedly refused to become a Member of Parliament, saying he had no interest in politics. In 1742, however, the government of Sir Robert Walpole fell, and Murray's brother-in-law, the Earl of Nottingham, became First Lord of the Admiralty in the new Cabinet. With this added political influence, Murray hoped to be appointed to a government office, and when Sir John Strange resigned as Solicitor General, Murray was made a Member of Parliament for Boroughbridge on 15 December 1742 and immediately succeeded Strange as Solicitor General.\n\nAlthough the Solicitor General was the lowest legal appointment, a successful one could be appointed Attorney General, and by custom, the Attorney General was allowed to become Lord Chief Justice of the King's Bench if a vacancy arose. Although many barristers were not good politicians, Murray became a successful Member of Parliament, and one noted for his oratorical skills and logical arguments.\n\nIn 1745, Murray defended the actions of the government in hiring 16,000 Hanoverian troops to help fight in the War of the Austrian Succession. His argument (that it was the prerogative of the King to decide how a war should be fought, and he should not be second-guessed by politicians with no experience of warfare) defeated the motion to cease employing the Hanoverian troops by 231 votes to 181. Murray became popular with both the government and George II as a result, and in the absence of a strong Attorney General, Murray spoke for the government in most matters. In 1747, he helped Lord Hardwicke write and pass an act to abolish the old hereditary positions in Scotland. In 1751 he drafted the government response to an attempt by the King of Prussia to frustrate neutral shipping, which Lord Stowell called \"the foundation of the modern law of neutrality\", and Montesquieu described it as a \"résponse sans réplique\" (response without a reply).\n\nThe death of Frederick, the heir to the British throne on 20 March 1751, caused constitutional chaos; George II wished to appoint his favourite son Prince William, Duke of Cumberland, as Regent (since the heir apparent, George III, was only a child), while the public favoured the child's mother Princess Augusta. In an attempt to reach a compromise the government introduced a bill to Parliament declaring that Augusta was to be a regent along with a council of others, and that George would become the heir when he reached maturity. Murray made a speech supporting the government's proposal, but despite this, Parliament was not convinced that a council was necessary.\n\nOn 6 March 1754, the Prime Minister Henry Pelham died, and this necessitated a Cabinet reshuffle. The Attorney General, Sir Dudley Ryder, became Lord Chief Justice of the King's Bench, and Murray became Attorney General in his place. A few months later the Master of the Rolls died, and Murray was asked to replace him; he declined, however, as he \"did not want to leave His Majesty's service\". After Ryder died unexpectedly on 25 May 1756, however, Murray could not turn down the opportunity, and immediately applied to replace him as Lord Chief Justice.\n\nHe was accepted, and although his appointment delighted Murray, the government was very concerned at the loss of a good Attorney General. In an attempt to persuade him to stay, the new Prime Minister, the Duke of Newcastle offered him the post of Chancellor of the Duchy of Lancaster, in addition to the position of Attorney General, an extra £6,000 a year, and a pension, and finally attempted to blackmail him by saying that if he accepted the office of Lord Chief Justice, the government would refuse to grant him a peerage. It was customary for all Lord Chief Justices to be given a peerage, and Murray responded by saying that in that situation he would refuse to become either Lord Chief Justice or Attorney General. Newcastle gave in, and promised to allow him to become Lord Chief Justice and to recommend him for a peerage.\n\nThis was seen as an excellent result by Murray, who had no interest in politics except as a stepping stone to become a member of the judiciary. Murray was not suited to politics, as he was far too calculating and independent of thought to accept any one party's doctrine. His Scottish and Jacobite roots also allowed for endless insinuation and controversy—in 1753 he was accused by the Bishop of Gloucester of \"having drunk the health of the Old Pretender on his knees\". Although the story was proven to be false, it embarrassed Murray, and was used to taunt him as late as 1770. His rivalry with William Pitt highlighted his unsuitability for politics—unlike such other politicians as Philip Yorke and Edward Thurlow, he did not have the temperament to resist \"the vehemence of Pitt's invective\". It was widely felt that he could have become Prime Minister after the death of Henry Pelham, but it would have \"set [his genius] in a false environment\", and he declined all opportunities to return to politics except as Lord Chief Justice.\n\nLord Chief Justice\n\nAnyone wishing to become a judge was required to be a Serjeant-at-law, which Murray was not; as such, he left Lincoln's Inn to join Serjeant's Inn. He qualified as a Serjeant-at-law on 8 November 1756, and was sworn in as Lord Chief Justice at the house of the Lord Chancellor that evening. Immediately afterwards he was created Baron Mansfield.\n\nOn 19 November, he was sworn in as a Privy Counsellor. He suspended his duties temporarily on 5 April 1757, when appointed Chancellor of the Exchequer, due to an old custom that the Lord Chief Justice took the position when it was empty. He only served until 8 April, and there is no evidence of his performing anything more than the standard day-to-day duties. He became a cabinet minister in 1757, still serving as Lord Chief Justice, and stayed until 1765.\n\nReform\nMansfield first sat in court on 11 November 1756, and at the time had \"a very low estimate of the Common Law of England which he was to administer\". The legal system had been put together in the period immediately after the Norman conquest of England, and was completely unsuited to the 18th century, when Britain was \"the greatest manufacturing and commercial country in the world\". Mansfield immediately began to reform the way the law and courts worked. One of his first acts as Lord Chief Justice was to change the system for submitting motions. Every day the court was in session, all barristers were invited to submit motions, in order of their seniority as barristers. Because they were allowed to submit as many motions as they wanted, by the time junior barristers were allowed to submit their motions, it was normally the end of the day. This meant that almost all the work went to the senior barristers, who were so overworked that they often did not have time to prepare properly before going to court. In addition it meant that work for junior barristers was scarce, hindering their careers. Mansfield changed the system so that barristers were allowed to submit only one motion a day, and if not all barristers had been heard by the end of the day, they could continue where they left off the next morning.\n\nAt the time it was also traditional for all judgments to be reserved. Although in a small number of cases this was useful, in the majority of cases it simply made coming to court more expensive and wasted time. As soon as Mansfield became Lord Chief Justice, he changed the rules so that, unless the court had doubts over the evidence presented to them, a judgment was to be made immediately. This had a far-reaching effect on the English courts. Judges from the Court of Appeal and High Court of Justice now give reserved judgments in only a minority of cases. His reforms led to the Court of King's Bench becoming one of the most active courts, at the expense of the Court of Common Pleas, which was described as the \"sleepy hollow\".\n\nMercantile law changes\nIn the eighteenth century, English merchant law was still based on the Lex mercatoria, a medieval series of customs and principles used to regulate trading. Other countries in Europe had reformed and modernised their law, resulting in English merchant law being about a century behind mercantile law of other European countries. A merchant was, by his very nature, international, and the inconsistencies between English law and the law of other nations made business difficult.\n\nMansfield made a great effort to bring English merchant law up to the same standards as that of other European nations, defining his position by saying that \"the daily negotiations and property of merchants ought not to depend on subtleties and niceties, but upon rules easily learned and easily retained because they are dictates of common sense drawn from the truth of the case\". In most European countries, the principle was that a merchant was bound by his promises, not just his signed legal documents, while English lawyers maintained that a merchant could only be legally bound by documents that he signed. The European principle was based on the assumption of good faith on the part of the merchants, or uberrima fides, something completely lacking in English law. In , Mansfield got a chance to reform the law relating to the assumption of good faith. Carter was the Governor of Fort Marlborough (now Bengkulu), which was built by the British East India Company in Sumatra, Indonesia. He took out an insurance policy with Boehm against the fort's being taken by a foreign enemy. A witness called Captain Tryon testified that Carter knew the fort was built to resist attacks from natives but not European enemies, and the French were likely to attack. The French did attack, and Boehm refused to fulfil the insurance claim.\n\nMansfield decided in favour of Boehm, saying that Carter had failed his duty of uberrima fides. In his judgment Mansfield said that:\nInsurance is a contract based upon speculation. The special facts, upon which the contingent chance is to be computed, lie most commonly in the knowledge of the insured only; the underwriter trusts to his representation and proceeds upon the confidence that he does not keep back any circumstance in his knowledge, to mislead the underwriter into a belief that the circumstance does not exist, and to induce him to estimate the risque as if it did not exist. Good faith forbids either party by concealing what he privately knows, to draw the other into a bargain from his ignorance of that fact, and his believing the contrary. This was an attempt by Mansfield to introduce the assumption of good faith into English law, and although it failed for the most part (as most areas of English commercial law no longer use uberrima fides), it is still used in insurance contracts. In insurance agreements, the insuree inevitably knows more about the risk involved than the insurer; without the requirement for pre-contractual \"good faith,\" the insuree would have no reason to tell the truth, and insurance companies would be loath to make contracts.\n\nIn the earlier case of , Mansfield had tried to challenge the doctrine of consideration. In English law, consideration is a vital part of the contract; without valid consideration, almost any contract is void. But, Mansfield argued in his judgment that it should only be treated as evidence of a contract, not as a vital element. Mansfield failed to make clear that he was referring only to consideration in commercial contracts, not general contracts, and as a result his judgment read that consideration was not required for any contract. His judgment has been much criticised by legal academics, and was effectively overruled by the House of Lords in Rann v Hughes [1778] 7 T. R. 350.\n\nMansfield also enforced a previous judgement of the Court of King's Bench made in 1645, in which they allowed a special jury of merchants to sit in cases involving commercial law. He built up a special corps of these jurymen, some of whom, such as Edward Vaux, became noted experts on commercial law. \"Lord Mansfield's jurymen\" acted as an effective liaison between the merchants and the courts. Mansfield was personally a supporter of free trade who was heavily influenced by Roman law and ancient Roman and Greek writers such as Cicero and Xenophon.\n\nIn 1783, Mansfield heard the case of , regarding the payment of an insurance claim for slaves killed when thrown overboard by the captain of a slave-ship – an event now known as the Zong massacre. Mansfield, in summing up the jury's verdict, said \"The Case of Slaves was the same as if Horses had been thrown over board\", and endeavoured to uphold the notion that slaves were property which could be destroyed in situations of \"absolute necessity\". But, new information was introduced in the case, and he ruled against the owners of the ship. In doing this, he achieved his aim of preventing maritime insurance law from becoming more complicated.\n\nCopyright law\nMansfield made another notable judgment in , in relation to copyright law. Andrew Millar was a bookseller who in 1729 had purchased the publishing rights to James Thomson's poem \"The Seasons\". After the term of the exclusive rights granted under the Statute of Anne expired, Robert Taylor began publishing his own competing publication, which contained Thomson's poem. Mansfield, sitting with three other judges, concluded that despite the Statute of Anne there was a perpetual common law copyright, and therefore that no works can ever be considered public domain. This was a massive victory for booksellers and publishers, as it meant that they could effectively make it impossible for new companies to compete, as in the absence of new texts, there was nothing they could print. Mansfield's judgment was finally overruled by the House of Lords in Donaldson v Beckett in 1774.\n\nMansfield's judgment has been criticised as being unusually short-sighted because he failed to see that while his decision was correct for that particular case, the precedent it would set would create an unfair monopoly for the booksellers and publishers. This was one of only a small number of cases in which Mansfield was overruled; in his entire career only six of his judgments were overturned by a higher court. Mansfield's judgement here has been seen as part of a wider agenda; along with other legal figures such as Sir William Blackstone, he was personally in favour of a perpetual copyright.\n\nJunius\nIn 1695 Parliament failed to renew the Licensing Acts, and as a result, the press were free to print material attacking the government. Although there were eight attempts to force a new Licensing Act through Parliament between 1697 and 1713, none of them succeeded. Despite the freedom of the press from pre-censorship by the government, the judiciary regularly tried people for seditious libel if they printed material attacking the government. From 21 November 1768, letters written by a man under the pseudonym of Junius were published in the Public Advertiser, a London newspaper run by Henry Sampson Woodfall. In them, Junius attacked many political leaders, including Lord Granby and Mansfield. As his letters were wildly popular, the circulation of the Public Advertiser doubled in just five months.\n\nOn 19 December 1769, Junius wrote a letter attacking the King, and incensed at this, the government ordered several people to be arrested and tried for seditious libel, including Woodfall for publishing the letters, John Almon for selling them, and John Miller for republishing them. Almon's case was heard at Westminster Hall by Mansfield and a jury on 2 June 1770. He was found guilty, although it is unclear in what fashion he was punished, if at all. Woodfall was tried on 13 June 1770, by Mansfield and a jury. While Mansfield believed that the language used was libellous, the jury disagreed, and held that he was \"guilty of printing and publishing only\", and innocent of seditious libel. Miller was tried on 13 July 1770, and after six hours of discussion, the jury found him innocent. As a result of these two trials, it became clear that no jury would convict a printer for printing these letters, leaving Junius free to continue publishing them.\n\nOn 14 November 1770, a letter by Junius directed at Mansfield was published by the Public Advertiser and the London Evening Post, a newspaper run by John Miller. In it, Junius attacked Mansfield, first for being Scottish, then for being a lapsed Jacobite, and finally for attempting to suppress the freedom of the press. In a response to Junius' letter dated 16 November 1770, Mansfield made the following threat:\n\"Sir, if in future you indulge the ill-founded asperity of your Pen, [you] may be called to answer for your Conduct, in a way that may cause you to regret that ever you was born, or, at least, that Nature has given you Abilities, which, if guided by Discretion, would have made you as much a Blessing, as you are now a Curse to Mankind.\"\nAlthough the Attorney General, William de Grey, advised that the publishers should again be prosecuted, Mansfield disagreed, saying that if they failed to respond to Junius, he would become bored and stop writing. Mansfield was evidently correct, because other than a letter printed on 5 October 1771, Junius ceased to write at the beginning of 1772.\n\nSomersett's Case\n\nMansfield is best known for his judgment in Somersett's Case on the legality of keeping slaves in England. The English had been involved in the slave trade since 1553, and by 1768, ships registered in Liverpool, Bristol and London carried more than half the slaves shipped in the world. James Somersett was a slave owned by Charles Stewart, an American customs officer who sailed to Britain for business, landing on 10 November 1769. A few days later Somersett attempted to escape. He was recaptured in November and imprisoned on the ship Ann and Mary, owned by Captain John Knowles and bound for the British colony of Jamaica. Stewart intended to sell him there. However, three people claiming to be Somersett's godparents, John Marlow, Thomas Walkin and Elizabeth Cade, made an application before the Court of King's Bench for a writ of habeas corpus, and Captain Knowles was ordered to produce Somersett before the Court of King's Bench, which would determine whether his imprisonment was legal.\n\nMansfield ordered a hearing for 22 January 1772. Following an adjournment, the case was not heard until 7 February 1772. In the meantime, the case had attracted a great deal of attention in the press, and members of the public were forthcoming with donations to fund lawyers for both sides of the argument. An activist layman, Granville Sharp, who continually sought test cases against the legal justifications for slavery, was Somersett's real backer. When the case was heard, no fewer than five advocates appeared for the slave, speaking at three separate hearings between February and May. These lawyers included William Davy SL, John Glynn SL, James Mansfield and Francis Hargrave, who was later to become a noted barrister based on his work in this case. Charles Stewart was represented by John Dunning and James Wallace.\n\nOn behalf of Somersett, it was argued that while colonial laws might permit slavery, neither the common law of England, nor any law made by Parliament recognised the existence of slavery, and slavery was therefore illegal. Moreover, English contract law did not allow for any person to enslave himself, nor could any contract be binding without the person's consent. The arguments thus focused on legal details rather than humanitarian principles. A law passed in 1765 said that all lands, forts and slaves owned by the Africa Company were a property of the Crown, which could be interpreted to mean that the Crown accepted slavery. When the two lawyers for Charles Stewart put their case, they argued that a contract for the sale of a slave was recognised in England, and therefore the existence of slaves must be legally valid.\n\nAfter the attorneys for both sides had given their arguments, Mansfield called a recess, saying that \"[the case] required ... [a] consultation ... among the twelve Judges\". Finally, on 22 June 1772 Mansfield gave his judgment, which ruled that a master could not carry his slave out of England by force, and concluded:\n\nThe state of slavery is of such a nature, that it is incapable of being introduced on any reasons, moral or political; but only positive law, which preserves its force long after the reasons, occasion, and time itself from whence it was created, is erased from memory: it's so odious, that nothing can be suffered to support it, but positive law. Whatever inconveniences, therefore, may follow from a decision, I cannot say this case is allowed or approved by the law of England; and therefore the black must be discharged.\n\nThough the ruling criticised slavery, it did conclusively establish that there was no legal status of slave in either parliamentary legislation or the common law. This did not effect slavery in the British Empire which would not be done until the passage of the 1833 Slavery Abolition Act through Parliament. As a result of the reporting of Mansfield's decision, public opinion and some newspapers gave the impression that slavery had been abolished in England by the ruling. Some historians believe that between 14,000 and 15,000 slaves were immediately freed in England, some of whom remained with their masters as paid or unpaid employees. However, it is questionable whether that many black people lived in England at the time, and those who did were mostly free already. Despite the ruling, Black Britons were occasionally kidnapped in the streets of London, Liverpool and Bristol and forcibly brought back to the colonies.(Such an incident was recounted by Olaudah Equiano in 1774 in his autobiography, An Interesting Narrative (1789).)\n\nContemporary reports suggested that Mansfield's personal experience with raising Dido Belle influenced his decision.\n\nLord Mansfield's Rule\nLord Mansfield is frequently mentioned in modern legal settings as the originator of \"Lord Mansfield's Rule\", in his own words: \"...the law of England is clear, that the declarations of a father or mother, cannot be admitted to bastardize the issue born after marriage.\" This quote comes from Mansfield's appellate decision in . The primary legal question in the case was not this preexisting principle, which applies only to children \"born after marriage\", but rather whether the child had been born before the marriage. The question was whether statements the child's parents allegedly made before their deaths could be introduced as evidence that the child had been born before their marriage and was thus illegitimate. Mansfield ruled to admit the testimony against the child's legitimacy and grant a new trial. The term \"Lord Mansfield's Rule\" is often used in a slightly different sense to denote the principle still applied in several jurisdictions that marriage creates a conclusive presumption of a husband's paternity of his wife's child.\n\nHouse of Lords\nAfter the formation of the Fox-North Coalition, Mansfield agreed to act as Speaker of the House of Lords, taking up his post in February 1783. The main item of debate during the Coalition Ministry was the East India Bill, which provoked bitter arguments in both the House of Lords and House of Commons. In an attempt to speed up the process of passing the bill, Mansfield left his position as speaker to debate directly on 15 December; when this failed to help he returned to the Woolsack the next day. The failure of the bill caused the government to be immediately dismissed, and Mansfield left his position on 23 December 1783.\n\nMansfield had been made earl of Mansfield, in the County of Nottingham, on 31 October 1776. He attended the Lords as Lord Speaker, and the last record of him attending (other than his presence at the state opening of Parliament on 23 March 1784) was in December 1783.\n\nRetirement and death\n\nDespite failing health, Mansfield refused to officially leave his post as Lord Chief Justice because George III was opposed to the appointment of Mansfield's protégé Francis Buller to the position after Mansfield resigned. The government of the time instead suggested Lloyd Kenyon as a possible successor. Mansfield clung to office until 1788 (despite not sitting in court for two years), in the hope that the government would fall before he was forced to retire. This was not to be, and on 3 June, he wrote a letter of resignation effective the next day.\n\nMansfield spent the remainder of his life at Kenwood House looked after by his nieces Lady Anne and Lady Marjory Murray and Dido Belle. Most of his time was spent maintaining the grounds. When Fanny Burney visited Kenwood in June 1792, she was unable to see Lord Mansfield, because he was too infirm and hasn't been downstairs for 4 years, she asked after Miss Murrays and left her respects but 'Miss Murrays were upstairs with Lord Mansfield, whom they never left’.\n\nIn the summer, he was visited by groups of barristers who informed him of the goings-on at court. On 1 August 1792 he was made Earl of Mansfield, in the County of Middlesex. On 10 March 1793, he complained of feeling sleepy, and although he recovered the next day, by 12 March, he was again complaining of a need for sleep. He went to bed early and remained asleep until 18 March, when he finally died. His body was buried in the north transept of Westminster Abbey. His monument at Westminster was commisioned by his nephew. It was sculpted by John Flaxman RA (by suggestion of Sir William Hamilton).\n\nMansfield left a large amount of money after his death, including Estate worth £500,000 to his nephew now the 2nd Earl. He also gave £2,000 to Francis Buller.\n\nLegacy\nEnglish law saw significant changes during Mansfield's career. As lord chief justice, Mansfield had done much to reform the way the courts worked, making it easier for people to gain access to legal aid, and also making the process much less expensive. He was also noted for his insistence that equity should be applied by all courts, not just the Court of Chancery, a view that provoked much disagreement during his lifetime, but was eventually confirmed by Parliament in the Supreme Court of Judicature Act 1873, which allowed all courts to take cases of equity. He also established the principle that rather than blindly following precedent, judges should seek to find loopholes in rules that were no longer applicable, something that later received the support of Oliver Wendell Holmes Jr., who said, \"It is revolting to have no better reason for a rule of law than that so it was laid down in the time of Henry IV. It is more revolting still if the grounds upon which it was laid down have vanished long since, and the rule simply persists from blind imitation of the past.\" He made his judgements on the principle that \"as the usages of society alter, the law must adapt itself to the various situations of mankind\", leading John Baker to describe him as \"one of the boldest of judicial spirits\".\n\nHis most important contributions were to commercial, merchant and common law. Mansfield spent much time bringing the law of England on par with that of other countries, particularly in cases such as Pillans & Rose v Van Mierop & Hopkins [1765] 3 Burr 1663, and Carter v Boehm [1766] 3 Burr 1905. As a result of his work, he was described by a later judge as \"the founder of the commercial law of this country\".\n\nHe was, however, criticised for his resistance to the freedom of the press and his refusal to go against the King, as well as for blatant nepotism—highlighted by his attempts to have Francis Buller made Lord Chief Justice after his retirement. He was also criticised as a politician for his support of a government antagonistic to the colonies; in 1829 John Quincy Adams described him as \"more responsible for the Revolution than any other man\". Scholars such as John Chipman Gray have questioned his reputation as a universally successful judge, saying that \"the reputation of Lord Mansfield as a commercial lawyer should not blind us to the fact that he was not equally great in the law of real property\".\n\nOpinion over Mansfield's intention in his ruling in Somerset's Case is mixed, with the current prevailing view being that he did not intend to free the slaves. The judgment was particularly narrow, as it ruled only that a master could not carry his slave out of England by force, not that slaves who came to England were emancipated. This is seen as particularly telling because this was the primary argument of Davy and Hargrave. If Murray had wanted to emancipate the slaves completely, there were various bits of judicial precedent he could have based his decision on, such as Smith v Gould or Shanley v Harvey, but he did not. Various comments he made before and during the case also suggest that complete emancipation was not his intent; in a preliminary judgment he said that \"the setting 14,000 or 15,000 men at once free loose by a solemn opinion, is much disagreeable in the effect it threatens\", which one modern legal scholar interprets as indicative of his reluctance to make a decision for fear of economic consequences. Various comments he made to Thomas Hutchinson in private letters, along with his comments about the Somersett decision in R v Inhabitants of Thames Ditton also suggest that emancipation was not his goal. In the 1785 Inhabitants of Thames Ditton case, Lord Mansfield expressed the view that his ruling in the Somerset case decided only that a slave could not be forcibly removed from England against his will.\n\nMansfield's marriage to Lady Finch was barren. His title, which succeeds to this day, passed to his nephew, David Murray, 2nd Earl of Mansfield.\n\nHonours\n\nMansfield is immortalised in St Stephen's Hall, where he and other notable Parliamentarians look on at visitors to Parliament. \nIn 1801 a large marble monument to him by John Flaxman was installed in Westminster Abbey; it shows a seated Murray flanked by the personifications of Wisdom and Justice, with an inscription that reads:\n\nThe town of Mansfield, Massachusetts was named after him. \nBecause of his reputation as a barrister, Lincoln's Inn offer a series of scholarship for the Bar Vocational Course named the Lord Mansfield Scholarship.\nMansfield has been portrayed as a character several times in television and film – in The Fight Against Slavery (1975) by John Richmond, The British (2012) by Timothy West, Belle (2013) by Tom Wilkinson and The Scandalous Lady W (2015) by David Calder.\n\nCharacter\n\nMansfield was noted at the Bar, in Parliament, and while sitting as a judge, for his eloquence and skill as a speaker; in particular Lord Chesterfield described him as \"beyond comparison the best speaker\" in the House of Commons. He was also a hard worker; he would sometimes do court paperwork himself, as well as do his judicial duties, in an attempt to speed up the legal process.\n\nHe was summarised by Gareth Jones as \"Conservative, urbane, silver-tongued, energetic, cultivated and well read; a highly imaginative lawyer who looked to reason and was not overawed by the legacy of the past\". Edmund Burke, a contemporary, said that \"he had some superiors in force, some equals in persuasion; but in insinuation he was without a rival. He excelled in the statement of a case. This, of itself, was worth the argument of any other man\". The comment by Samuel Johnson that \"Much may be made of a [Scotsman], if he be caught young\" was directed at Mansfield, and Johnson also described him as \"more than a mere lawyer\", while Edward Coke, who is considered one of the most important lawyers in the history of English law, was \"only a lawyer\".\n\nUnlike other barristers, Mansfield was noted for always keeping a cool head and being \"prudent to the point of timidity\". He was criticised for being \"moderate and dispassionate\", unlike more aggressive barristers such as Edward Coke; when asked about this he replied that \"I would not have made Sir Edward Coke's speech to gain all Sir Edward Coke's estates and all his reputation\". There are conflicting reports about his temperament and attitude as a judge; William Pitt described him as \"a very bad judge, proud, haughty to the Bar and hasty in his determinations\", and Charles Yorke said he was \"offensive and unpopular\". Both opinions are suspect, however; Pitt's because he was a constant rival to Mansfield and Yorke's because he was attempting to beat Mansfield to the position of Lord Chancellor at the time. Edward Foss said that \"there has never been a judge more venerated by his contemporaries, nor whose memory is regarded with greater respect and affection\", and described him as \"the great oracle of law\".\n\nMansfield has been called \"the legal genius of his generation\", and compared favourably with Joseph Story, a judge of the Supreme Court of the United States noted for his brilliance. Other Americans such as Julian S. Waterman, the founder of the University of Arkansas School of Law, described him as \"not only the greatest common law judge but the greatest judge in Anglo-American legal history\", while Joseph Story himself said that Mansfield \"broke down the narrow barrier of the common law, redeemed it from feudal selfishness and barbarity\" and that \"he was one of those great men raised up by Providence, at a fortunate moment, to effect a salutary revolution in the world\".\n\nIn popular culture\n\nIn the 2013 film Belle, Murray is portrayed by Tom Wilkinson.\n \nIn the 2015 film The Scandalous Lady W, Murray is portrayed by David Calder (actor).\n\nSee also\nList of cases involving Lord Mansfield\n\nReferences\n\nBibliography\n\nExternal links\n\n1705 births\n1793 deaths\n18th-century English judges\n1\nAlumni of Christ Church, Oxford\nBlack British history\nBritish legal writers\nBritish MPs 1741–1747\nBritish MPs 1747–1754\nBritish MPs 1754–1761\nBurials at Westminster Abbey\nChancellors of the Exchequer of Great Britain\nLord chief justices of England and Wales\nMembers of Lincoln's Inn\nMembers of the Privy Council of Great Britain\nPeers of Great Britain created by George II\nPeople educated at Westminster School, London\nPeople from Perth, Scotland\nSolicitors General for England and Wales\nYounger sons of viscounts\nMurray, William\nWilliam",
"Earl of Mansfield, in the County of Nottingham, and Earl of Mansfield, in the County of Middlesex, are two titles in the Peerage of Great Britain that have been united under a single holder since 1843.\n\nHistory\nThe titles Earl of Mansfield (in the County of Nottingham) and Earl of Mansfield (in the County of Middlesex) were created in 1776 and 1792, respectively, for the Scottish lawyer and judge William Murray, 1st Baron Mansfield, fourth son of David Murray, 5th Viscount of Stormont (see Viscount of Stormont for the earlier history of the family). He was Lord Chief Justice of the King's Bench from 1756 to 1788. Murray had already been created Baron Mansfield, in the County of Nottingham, in the Peerage of Great Britain in 1756, with normal remainder to the heirs male of his body. The two earldoms were created with different remainders. The 1776 earldom was created with remainder to Louisa Murray (née Cathcart), Lady Stormont (daughter of Charles Schaw Cathcart, 9th Lord Cathcart), second wife of his nephew David Murray, 7th Viscount of Stormont, while the 1792 earldom (referring to a fictitious Mansfield in Middlesex to differentiate it from the first earldom) was created with remainder to his nephew Lord Stormont.\n\nLord Mansfield was childless and on his death in 1793, the barony became extinct. He was succeeded in the 1776 earldom according to the special remainder by his nephew's wife Louisa, the second Countess, and in the 1792 earldom according to the special remainder by his nephew Lord Stormont, who became the second Earl. The latter was a noted politician in his own right and served as Lord Justice General, Secretary of State for the Northern Department and Lord President of the Council. He was succeeded by his and Louisa's eldest son, the third Earl (of the 1792 creation). He was Lord Lieutenant of Clackmannanshire. On his death, the title passed to his son, the fourth Earl (of the 1792 creation). He was a Tory politician and served as a Lord of the Treasury from 1834 to 1835 in the first administration of Sir Robert Peel. In 1843, he succeeded his grandmother the second Countess of Mansfield (who had outlived her husband by forty-seven years) and became in addition the third Earl of Mansfield of the 1776 creation.\n\nHe was succeeded by his grandson, the fifth and fourth Earl. He was the eldest son of William David Murray, Viscount of Stormont. He died unmarried and was succeeded by his younger brother, the sixth and fifth Earl. His son, the seventh and sixth Earl, represented Perth in the House of Commons and served as Lord Lieutenant of Perthshire. The eighth and seventh Earl of Mansfield held office in the Conservative government of Margaret Thatcher as a Minister of State at the Scottish Office from 1979 to 1983, and at the Northern Ireland Office from 1983 to 1984.\n\nThe titles are presently held by his elder son, the ninth Earl of Mansfield of the 1792 creation and the eighth Earl of Mansfield of the 1776 creation.

"David Murray, 2nd Earl of Mansfield, 7th Viscount of Stormont, (9 October 1727 – 1 September 1796), known as the (7th) Viscount of Stormont from 1748 to 1793, was a British politician. He succeeded to both the Mansfield and Stormont lines of the Murray family, inheriting two titles and two fortunes.\n\nBackground\nMansfield was the son of David Murray, 6th Viscount of Stormont, and his wife, Anne Stewart. The Lord Chief Justice, William Murray, 1st Earl of Mansfield, was his paternal uncle and mentor. Stormont inherited the family's estate and title of Viscount Stormont at 21 when his father died in 1748. The ancestral seat of the Viscounts Stormont is Scone Palace.\n\nDiplomat\n\nStormont's uncle was determined to advance his nephew and heir, so he carefully planned Stormont's education and occupation. He excelled in the Study of the classics and language, so it was decided that he would become a diplomat.\n\nStormont became ambassador to Dresden-Warsaw, Vienna and then to France with the help of his uncle, in the early years of the American War of Independence, he played a role in sending news of American actions back to England. He had been elected a Scottish Representative Peer in 1754. He also made a lifelong friend in 3rd Duke of Portland, when he was sent to study under Stormont for a year in Warsaw, at the request of Stormont's uncle and Duchess of Portland. The Duke was accompanied by Stormont's secretary Benjamin Langlois.\n\nWhen Frederick II of Prussia invaded Saxony, The Elector of Saxony was forced to retreat from Dresden to Warsaw, capital of his Polish Kingdom. Stormont followed, he had previously met a German Saxon Imperial Countess (Reichsgrafin) in Dresden, her name was Henrietta Frederica von Bünau, daughter of Imperial Count Heinrich von Bünau. They were married in Warsaw, Poland in 1759. \n\nHis marriage was unexpected, instead of a calculated marriage with a British peerage like his uncle, he opted to marry for love to Countess Henrietta. Before her 2nd marriage, Henrietta was already a young and wealthy noble widow, her 1st husband had died young and bequeathed her all his family's fortune and three Danish estates. After marrying Stormont, she sold them in 1760.Stormont's uncle Lord Chief Justice encouraged him on his bride, he even sent letters to Henrietta, future Countess of Mansfield and welcoming her to the family.\n\nVienna \nThen Stormont was appointed British Ambassador to Austria in 1763 to 1772 at the court of Empress Maria Theresa. Stormont's wife, who was a German-Saxon noblewoman by birth helped him be accepted by the high society of Vienna. She was a woman of enormous charm, this made up for the reserved manner of her husband, this made the embassy to Vienna a huge success. \n\nHis wife's health was always fragile, Horace Walpole described her as such a Semele. In 1766, Henrietta suddenly passed away in Vienna at the age of only 29. Her death caused Stormont to have a nervous breakdown and was given extended leave of absence, he even embalmed her heart in a gold vase and carried it everywhere he went (later taken to Scone). They had one surviving daughter Lady Elizabeth Murray, who was eventually brought up by his uncle and his wife at Kenwood. \n\nHis friend a fellow diplomat, Sir William Hamilton said to his niece Mary Hamilton, that if it wasn't for his help to get him out of his depression and recovered in Rome, he believed that Stormont might have gone mad, he said that the countess had an elegant mind. Stormont didn't return to his post for two years and remained unmarried for a decade. \n\nThe great antiquarian Winckelmann (whom he met in Rome in 1768), had worked as librarian to Stormont's father in-law (Count von Bünau). He remarked that Stormont was \"the most learned man of his rank whom I have yet known \". \n\nAfter his return from Rome, the final four years in Vienna were dominated by the Russo-Turkish War which began in 1768, He protested unofficially about the partitioning of Poland, but the partition was finalised in 1772.\n\nParis \nBy now Stormont had become a leading British diplomat, this followed by ambassador to Paris from 1772 to March 1778. In France, he met Queen Marie Antoinette, whom he had acquainted back when she was a little archduchess in the court of her mother in Vienna years prior, The Queen of France was very pleased to be greeted by a friendly face and befriended The Viscount, to commemorate their friendship, she gifted him one of three Jean Henri Riesener writing desks previously commissioned to mark her marriage. Marie Antoinette nicknamed him \"le bel Anglais\" meaning the beautiful English.\n\nIn 1774, his uncle the first Earl stayed at the Embassy and Lord Stormont presented his uncle to Louis XVI and Marie Antionette at Versailles.He remarried after a decade to a much younger Louisa Cathcart.\n\nIn 1778, France declared support for the American revolution against Britain. The ambassadors to both countries were recalled and Stormont returned to England.\n\nAfter Diplomatic Career \nStormont reached the apex of his career when he was appointed as the last Secretary of State for the Northern Department, serving from 1779 to 1782.\n\nIn 1783 he was appointed as Lord President of the Council, and again from 1794 to 1796. He served as Lord Justice General between 1778 and 1795. He was appointed a Privy Counsellor in 1763 and made a Knight of the Thistle in 1768. \n\nKing George III said that he had owed Stormont a great deal, but he never rewarded him, this was noted by his friend Mary Hamilton, who said word of a prince can't be held reliable, but a word of a King needed to be. For he had served King George III as envoy extraordinary for more than 20 years (his many letters to his majesty are held at National Records).\n\nThe 18th century hostess Elizabeth Montagu praised Stormont in 1779 saying \"I was very sorry when he left us, for he used to call on me often, great sense, knowledge, & large acquaintance with the World make him very agreable, & I love him the better for his admirable answer to ye malicious attack on Lord Sandwich\"\n\nGordon Riots in 1780 \n\nDuring the Gordon riots of 1780, his uncle Lord Mansfield's Bloomsbury Square townhouse was burned to the ground. It was reported that His daughter Lady Elizabeth, Lord and Lady Mansfield had escaped using the back door. Her Ladyship's clothes was burn alongside Mansfield's book collection.\n\nBut it was rumored that sixty angry mobs also targeted Kenwood House next, given its close proximity to London. Stormont wrote to King George III that he had ordered light cavalry to be dispatched to Kenwood. The rioters approached Kenwood with hostile intentions, but were stalled by free ale from the nearby Spaniard’s Inn, assisted by Lord Mansfield’s steward using wine supply from the house, they successfully stalled the mobs until the cavalry arrived to protect the house. \n\nHe knew not only that Kenwood house would one day be his, but also his own daughter and sisters were in dire danger, as they still remained at Kenwood. Stormont successfully saved Kenwood from burning and looting.\n\nFamily\nLord Stormont, as he was known at the time, married his wife on 16 August 1759, whilst he was British ambassador to Saxony. She was Countess Henrietta Frederica von Bünau daughter of Count Henreich Graf von Bünau. They had two daughters:\n Lady Elizabeth Murray (18 May 1760 – 1 June 1825); married George Finch-Hatton in 1785 and had issue, including George Finch-Hatton, 10th Earl of Winchilsea.\n Hon. Henrietta Anne Murray (16 October 1764, Dresden – circa 1765, Vienna)\n\nHenrietta died on 10 March 1766 in Vienna. A decade later, on 5 May 1776, Stormont married secondly The Hon. Louisa Cathcart, daughter of Charles Cathcart, 9th Lord Cathcart and Jane Hamilton. Louisa was his junior by 30 years, she was also the niece of Sir William Hamilton, and they had five children:\n David William Murray, 3rd Earl of Mansfield (1777–1840) had issue William Murray, 4th Earl of Mansfield.\n Lieutenant-general The Hon.

From his uncle, he inherited Kenwood House in the London Borough of Camden.\n\nIn 1794, King George III and Queen Charlotte visited Kenwood House, it was said that his majesty was curious about the new architectural addition to Kenwood by the 2nd Earl of Mansfield.\n\nDeath \n\nLord Mansfield died in September 1796 at Brighton. In his will he had requested a simple burial wherever he passed away and his heart removed and taken to Scone to be reunited with that of his first wife, he also requested adding latin inscriptions of \"Mutuique amoris perpetuo memor, Nunc demum addit suum\" meaning \"Remembering each other's love forever and now, at last, he adds his own\" to their memorial at Scone Palace. \n\nBut, instead his body was laid to rest with his uncle, the 1st Earl, at Westminster Abbey with a lot of processions fit for such prominent figure. His heart was interred in Comlongon Castle. He left his eldest daughter three paintings of her mother Henrietta that still hung in his dressing room. \n\nHe was succeeded in his titles and to Kenwood House by his eldest son David William Murray. His second son, the Honourable George Murray, became a Lieutenant-General in the Army. His fourth son, the Honourable Sir Henry Murray, rose to the rank of General.\n\nThe Countess of Mansfield survived her husband by 47 years. She went on to remarry to her first cousin the Hon. Robert Fulke Greville in 1797. Lady Mansfield died in July 1843, aged 85.\n\nRepresentation in Media \n\n Peter Hudson played Lord Stormont in BBC TV series Marie Antoinette (2022)\n\nSee also\n William Eden, 1st Baron Auckland\n Jean-Charles-Pierre Lenoir\n\nReferences\n\nKidd, Charles, Williamson, David (editors).

"A () is a South Korean term that refers to a man who works in Korea while his wife and children stay in an English-speaking country such as the United States, Canada, the United Kingdom, Australia or New Zealand for the sake of their children's education.\n\nMany Korean people desire to speak English well. This desire is sometimes referred to as \"English Fever\". English proficiency is very important not only for students but also for office workers because they believe that English skills determine their social position and promotion in the company. However, it is not easy for Koreans to learn and speak English fluently due to the difference in sentence structure between Korean and English. To overcome this difficulty, some parents choose to raise their young children in one of the English-speaking countries, and in the process, mothers and children live together in a foreign country, and fathers remain in Korea and live alone.\n\nThe term is inspired by the fact that geese are a species that migrate, just as the father must travel a great distance to see his family. Estimates of the number of in South Korea range as high as 200,000 men. The word was included in the report '2002 New Word' by the National Academy of Korean Language.\n\nSocial problem\nTo provide a better educational environment for children, mothers usually decide to live in a foreign country with their children, and fathers are left alone in South Korea. It is difficult for these goose dads to communicate regularly with their families who live far away. Although the Internet and phones enable them to interact with their families indirectly, it is not easy to have good family communication. In addition, due to a sudden change in the form of the family, fathers who live alone suffer from extremely intense loneliness and desolation. This feeling of loneliness causes some fathers to have a sexual relationship with someone other than their wife, commit suicide, or put them at risk of dying alone.\n\nRelated terms\nIf the gireogi appa has the finances to pay for frequent visits to see his family, he is called an \"eagle dad\" () but if finances constrict his ability to travel abroad, he is known as a \"penguin dad\" () because he cannot fly and may go without seeing his family for years at a time. If the man cannot afford to send his children abroad, he rents a small studio for his wife and children in Gangnam, an area dense with hagwon. That father is called a \"sparrow dad\" (). And if the man sends his children to elementary school in Daechi, he hires lodgings and is called a \"Daejeon-dong dad\" ().\n\nMore than 40,000 South Korean schoolchildren are believed to be living in the United States, Canada, England, Australia, New Zealand, Philippines, Singapore and Malaysia expressly to increase English-speaking ability. As of 2009, over 100,000 Korean students were studying abroad. In at least some of the cases, a South Korean mother will choose to live abroad with her children with the additional reason of avoiding her mother-in-law, with whom a historically stressful relationship may exist due to Korean Confucianism.\n\nSee also\nAstronaut family\nContemporary culture of South Korea\nEducation in South Korea\nFlying geese paradigm\nGlobalization\nHagwon\nKikokushijo\nHaigui\n\nReferences\n\nExternal links\nKorea Times Phenomenon of Wild Goose Fathers in South Korea 02-22-2009 by Agnes Goh-Grapes\n 펭귄 아빠, 독수리 아빠?

"Re-education through labor (RTL; ), abbreviated laojiao () was a system of administrative detention on mainland China. Active from 1957 to 2013, the system was used to detain persons who were accused of committing minor crimes such as petty theft, prostitution, and trafficking of illegal drugs, as well as political dissidents, petitioners, and Falun Gong followers. It was separated from the much larger laogai system of prison labor camps.\n\nSentences under re-education through labor were typically for one to three years, with the possibility of an additional one-year extension. They were issued as a form of administrative punishment by police, rather than the judicial system. While they were incarcerated, detainees were frequently subjected to a form of political education. Estimates of the number of RTL detainees on any given year range from 190,000 to two million. In 2013, approximately 350 RTL camps were in operation.\n\nOn 28 December 2013, the Standing Committee of the National People's Congress abolished the re-education through labor system and detainees were released. However, human rights groups have claimed that other forms of extrajudicial detention have taken its place, with some former RTL camps being renamed drug rehabilitation centers.\n\nIn 2014, re-education facilities were constructed in Xinjiang and they were used to target a wider context than people who were accused of committing minor crimes and political dissidence. By 2017, these had become the massive Xinjiang internment camps holding 1–3 million people, utilizing forced labor, and now recognized as re-education camps by many nations, intergovernmental organizations such as the UN and EU, and human rights groups.\n\nRe-education through labor and the Chinese penal system\nThe People's Republic of China employs several forms of correction for people who have been arrested, of which re-education through labor was one. The Laogai Research Foundation classifies re-education through labor as a sub-component under the umbrella of the laogai (\"reform through labor\") criminal justice system, which generally refers to prisons, prison farms, and labor camps for convicted criminals. Re-education through labor, on the other hand, refers to detentions for persons who are not considered criminals or have only committed minor offenses. Persons detained under re-education through labor were detained in facilities which are separate from the general prison system; furthermore, detainees in these re-education facilities receive a small salary, which laogai detainees do not, and in theory have shorter work hours. The laogai system is much larger than the re-education through labor system, with the Laogai Research Foundation identifying 1,045 laogai camps in 2006 (compared to 346 re-education centers). Both systems, however, involve penal labor and often do not allow trials or judicial hearings. The term \"reform through labor\" or laogai was officially replaced with \"prison\" in 1994, and the term \"re-education center\" or láojiàosuǒ (劳教所) was replaced with \"correctional center\" in 2007.\n\nOther components of the prison system include detention centers for individuals awaiting sentence or execution, and juvenile detention camps for individuals under a minimum age (which has varied through the years, and may currently be under 14). The system formerly included components such as custody and repatriation for individuals without a residence permit; \"forced job placement,\" which has not been widely practiced since the 1990s; and \"shelter and investigation,\" a system of detentions for individuals under legal investigation, which was abolished in 1996. The Laogai Research Foundation also classifies psychiatric facilities, or ankang, as a form of detention for political dissidents, although it is not officially recognized as part of the laogai penal system.\n\nHistory\nInstitutions similar to re-education through labor facilities, but called \"new life schools\" or \"loafers' camps\", existed in the early 1950s, although they did not become official until the anti-rightist campaigns in 1957 and 1958. A report by Human Rights in China (HRIC) states that re-education through labor was first used by the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) in 1955 to punish counter-revolutionaries, and in 1957 was officially adopted into law to be implemented by the Ministry of Public Security. The law allowed police to sentence both minor offenders and \"counter-revolutionaries\" or \"anti-socialist elements\" to incarceration in labor camps without the right to a judicial hearing or trial, and did not allow judicial review to take place until after the punishment was being enforced. In the beginning there were no limits to the length for which detainees could be sentenced, and it was not until 1979 that a maximum sentence of four years (three years' sentence plus one-year extension) was set. In 1983, the management and implementation of the re-education through labor system was passed from the Ministry of Public Security to the Ministry of Justice.\n\nWhen Falun Gong was banned in mainland China in 1999, re-education through labor became a common punishment for practitioners. Some human rights groups claim that as many as 10,000 Falun Gong members were detained in between 1999 and 2002, with as many as 5,000 detained in 2001.\n\n More recent estimates suggest that hundreds of thousands of Falun Gong adherents are imprisoned in China, with some sources estimating up to half of the official reeducation through labor camp population is Falun Gong practitioners. In some labor camps, Falun Gong practitioners make up the majority population.\n\nThere have been numerous calls for the system to be reformed or replaced. As early as 1997, the United Nations Working Group on Arbitrary Detention (WGAD) called for China to allow judicial control over detentions; in 2000, the UN Committee Against Torture recommended that all forms of administrative detention, including re-education through labor, be abolished; in 2004, the WGAD called for the establishment of rights to due process and counsel for individuals detained; and in 2005, the Special Rapporteur on Torture called for the outright abolition of re-education through labor. The prominent deaths of two inmates in spring 2003 prompted many calls within China for reform of the system, but reform did not happen immediately, though The China Daily reported that there was \"general consensus\" that reform was needed. In March 2007, however, the Chinese government did announce that it would abolish the re-education through labor system and replace it with a more lenient set of laws. According to the proposal, the maximum sentence would be lowered from four years to 18 months; re-education centers would be renamed \"correction centers\" and have their fences and gates removed. A month later, Chongqing municipality passed a law allowing lawyers to offer legal counsel in re-education through labor cases.\n\nMany human rights groups, however, doubted the efficacy of the proposed reforms, saying that the new laws would only help minor criminals and not help political prisoners, and the reforms would not actually abolish the re-education through labor system. The Laogai Research Foundation stated that lowering the maximum length of detention and changing the names of the detention facilities would not constitute a \"fundamental change\". Nine months after the declaration that the laws would be rewritten, the re-education through labor system had not been abolished; in December 2007, a group of academics drafted an open letter to the government calling for an end to the system. During the 2008 Summer Olympics in Beijing, there were reports that some individuals who applied for permits to protest were detained without trial; of these, some were sentenced to re-education through labor. In the United Nations Human Rights Council's September 2008 Universal Periodic Review of the People's Republic of China, re-education through labor was listed as an \"urgent human rights concern,\" and as of February 2009, a large number of re-education through labor camps were still in operation.\n\nStatistics\nReports on re-education through labor have found it difficult to estimate the number of people in re-education centers, and nationwide statistics were often unavailable in the past. What data have become available often vary widely.\n\nOf these detainees, 5 to 10 percent are estimated to be political prisoners, and as many as 40 percent are estimated to be drug offenders—in 1998, nearly one-third of the known re-education camps were specifically built for the purpose of holding drug offenders.\n\nThe China Daily estimated that there were a total of 310 re-education centers in China in 2007. The 2008 edition of the Laogai Research Foundation's biennial report listed exactly 319 \"confirmed\" re-education centers in China, and 74 \"unconfirmed\" ones, but it also estimated that the actual number of such centers might be much higher. the provinces with the most centers being Guangdong (31), Heilongjiang (21), and Henan (21). In a February 2009 meeting of the United Nations Human Rights Council, the Chinese government stated that there are 320 centers. The provinces with the largest numbers of re-education centers include Guangdong, Liaoning, Heilongjiang, and Henan. At the end of 2008, there were 350 labor camps and 160,000 prisoners were being held in them.\n\nDetentions\n\nConviction and detention\nSentencing for re-education through labor is generally carried out by the police rather than by the judicial system, so individuals are rarely charged or tried before being detained. Public security bureaus (police offices) are able to carry out administrative detentions for \"minor\" infringements that are not considered criminal acts; at least one analyst has suggested that local public security bureaus often abuse their authority and detain individuals for things such as personal vendettas. Individuals may also be sentenced to re-education through labor by courts, but the proportion of individuals who receive trials rather than going directly into administrative detention is determined in part by how much capacity that province has for re-education detainees—provinces with large re-education through labor apparatus generally allow fewer detainees to have trials. Where detainees have been allowed a trial, their lawyers have faced \"intimidation and abuse,\" according to some reports, and the individuals under trial have sometimes been convicted on the basis of confessions that were coerced through \"torture and severe psychological pressure.\" In at least one instance, convicted individuals were sent to re-education through labor even after being found not guilty in a trial.\n\nMost detainees in re-education through labor facilities are reported to be drug users, petty criminals, and prostitutes, as well as some political prisoners; James Seymour has also claimed that most individuals sentenced to re-education through labor are from urban areas. Individuals who attempt to leave the country illegally have also been sentenced to re-education through labor upon their return. In periods leading up to visits from foreign dignitaries or politically sensitive anniversaries (such as the anniversary of the Tiananmen Square protests of 1989), local authorities have supposedly detained \"undesirables\" such as the homeless, mentally or physically disabled individuals, and migrant workers. One China specialist at the RAND Corporation has claimed that the police, faced with a lack of \"modern rehabilitation and treatment programs,\" use re-education through labor convictions to \"warehouse\" individuals for \"an increasing number of social problems.\"\n\nDetainees can seek to have their detention repealed through an \"administrative review\" (xingzheng fuyi, 行政复议) of the decision or by filing an \"administrative litigation\" (xingzheng susong 行政诉讼) against the Re-education Through Labor Management Committee that detained them. According to the advocacy group Chinese Human Rights Defenders, however, these options are ineffective and the groups overseeing the reviews and litigations often have the same interests as the management committee that originally ordered the detention.\n\nConditions in the facilities\n\nThe United States Department of State called the conditions in prisons \"harsh and frequently degrading,\" and said the conditions in re-education through labor facilities were similar, citing overcrowded living spaces, low-quality food, and poor or absent medical care. Detainees in camps are required to work for little or no pay; while Chinese law requires that prison laborers' workday be limited to 12 hours a day. In 2001, sociologist Dean Rojek estimated that detainees generally worked six days a week, \"in total silence.\" Much of the labor done by re-education through labor detainees is geared towards agriculture or producing goods, many of which are sold internationally, since re-education through labor detainees are not counted as official \"prisoners\" and therefore not subject to international treaties. They also perform work ranging \"from tending vegetables and emptying septic pits to cutting stone blocks and construction work.\"\n\nAlthough drug abusers are ostensibly placed in re-education through labor to be treated for their addictions, some testimonial evidence has suggested that little \"meaningful treatment\" takes place in at least some of the centers, and that drug abusers often relapse into addiction upon their release from detention.\n\nThe facilities have been widely criticized for the physical abuse that is said to go on within them. Corporal punishment is commonly used, and torture and physical abuse are also thought to be widespread in the facilities. In April 2003, Zhang Bin, an inmate at the re-education facility Huludao City Correctional Camp, was beaten to death, reportedly by other inmates and by the labor supervisor. Zhang's death, along with the March 2003 death of inmate Sun Zhigang in a custody and repatriation prison, sparked calls within China for reform of the system, although reforms were not made immediately.\n\nThough most reports describe the conditions of re-education camps as \"brutal,\" there are some claims of prisoners being well-treated. For example, when he was released from a three-year re-education sentence in 1999, dissident Liu Xiaobo said that he had been treated very mildly, that he had been allowed to spend time reading, and that the conditions had been \"pretty good.\"\n\nForced labor may include breaking rocks and assembling car seat covers, and even gold farming in World of Warcraft.\n\nAccording to Chinese state media Xinhua, slightly over 50% of detainees released from prison and re-education through labor in 2006 received government aid in the form of funds or assistance in finding jobs.\n\nLife after release\n \nDetainees who are released from re-education through labor camps may still be unable to travel or see other people freely. Individuals who remain in re-education through labor for 5 or more years may not be allowed to return to their homes, and those who do may be closely monitored and not permitted to leave certain areas. For example, in July 2003 a priest who had been released from detention was kept under house arrest, and five men who attempted to visit him were themselves detained.\n\nCriticism\nThe re-education through labor system has been criticized by human rights groups, foreign governments and UN bodies, and Chinese rights lawyers. Some Chinese government agencies and reformers within government have likewise criticized the system as being unconstitutional, and advocated for its reform or abolition.\n\nHuman Rights Watch has stated that the \"re-education through labor\" system violates international law, specifically Article 9 (4.)of the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights (ICCPR), which provides that \"Anyone who is deprived of his liberty by arrest or detention shall be entitled to take proceedings before a court, in order that the court may decide without delay on the lawfulness of his detention...\" Re-education through labor has also been criticized by numerous human rights groups for not offering procedural guarantees for the accused, and for being used to detain political dissidents, teachers, Chinese house church leaders, and Falun Gong practitioners. Furthermore, even though the law up until 2007 specified a maximum length of detainment of four years, at least one source mentions a \"retention for in-camp employment\" system that allowed authorities to keep detainees in the camps for longer than their official sentences.\n\nRe-education through labor has been a focus of discussion not only among foreign human rights groups, but also among legal scholars in China, some of whom were involved in the drafting of the 2007 laws meant to replace the system.\n\nIn addition to legal scholars, the Supreme People's Court of the People's Republic of China had criticized the system. In light of the widespread disapproval of the system, HRIC called in 2001 for the system to be abolished entirely. Among its criticisms it cited the fact that the wording of re-education through labor laws was excessively vague, allowing authorities to manipulate it; the fact that the punishment given in re-education centers was too severe for the crimes committed; the abusive conditions at re-education centers; and the variation of re-education through labor laws from one province to another. The Chinese Ministry of Justice, has also noted that the system violated items in the Chinese constitution. Wang Gongyi, vice-director of the Institute of Justice Research affiliated to the Ministry of Justice, said that the re-education through labor system contradicts several items in the Constitution, the Criminal Procedure Law, and the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights, which China signed in 1998.\n\nAlthough many human rights groups and legal scholars both within and without China called for the reform or total abolition of re-education through labor, China's security agencies have defended the use of the system as being necessary to maintain social stability. A 1997 report in China's Legal Daily hailed re-education through labor as a means to \"maintain social peace and prevent and reduce crime.\" The Ministry of Public Security stated in 2005 that re-education through labor helped maintain rule of law and was mainly used for rehabilitating lawbreakers. In 2007, when new laws were drafted, the Ministry of Public Security was opposed to the proposal that would allowing judicial review before punishment was enforced.\n\nProfit opportunities\nThe laojiao system employs tens of thousands of people. Profits are made through sale of the products of forced labor and through the collection of bribes received to reduce sentences or to ensure that relatives receive adequate food.\n\nAbolition\nDuring the Third Plenum of the 18th Party Congress in Beijing on 15 November 2013, Chinese officials announced that they planned to abolish the Re-education Through Labor system.\n\nThe planned abolition of the system, however, has been criticised by human rights groups, with Amnesty International issuing a report titled \"Changing the Soup but Not the Medicine.\" Amnesty's report concludes that the camp closures are a positive step forward for human rights, but the fundamental problems of arbitrary detention remain in China:\n\nMany of the policies and practices which resulted in individuals being punished for peacefully exercising their human rights by sending them to RTL have not fundamentally changed: quite the contrary. There is ample evidence that such policies and practices are continuing in full force. The latest anti-Falun Gong campaign, launched earlier this year and intended to operate for three years, shows that the CCP's determination to rid China of this spiritual group has not abated. Falun Gong practitioners continue to be punished through criminal prosecution and being sent to \"brainwashing centres\" and other forms of arbitrary detention. Petitioners likewise continue to be subjected to harassment, forcibly committed to mental institutions and sent to \"black jails\" and other forms of arbitrary detention. Human rights defenders, democracy advocates, whistle-blowers and other political activists are also being increasingly targeted through criminal detention, \"black jails\", short-term administrative detention, and enforced disappearances, rather than RTL.\n\nOn 28 December 2013, the Standing Committee of the National People's Congress abolished the re-education through labor system.

"The Baekjeong () were an untouchable caste in Korea, originating from some minority, nomadic groups of disputed ethnicity. In the early part of the Goryeo period (918–1392), these minorities were largely settled in fixed communities. However, the Mongol invasion left Korea in disarray and anomie and these groups became nomadic. Subgroups of the baekjeong included the ( \"entertainers\") and the () or (), who were primarily butchers. The baekjeong occupied specific professions like butchery, tanning, basket weaving and performing executions. During the Goryeo period, \"baekjeong\" was used as a neutral term to refer to the common people. From the time of the Joseon dynasty, it became an insulting title used to refer to the lowest class of society. In addition, since the Joseon dynasty, \"baekjeong\" has been also used to denigrate a person. In contemporary South Korea, the term is mainly associated with the meaning of a butcher and even used in the restaurants' names.\n\nOrigin \nAccording to Jeong Yakyong, one of the most distinguished scholars on the methodology of historical researches in the reign of King Jeongjo (1777-1800) and King Sunjo (1801-1834), one theory holds that they were of \"Tatar\" origin. The term \"Tartar\" seems to have been a general term for all northern peoples, Mongols, Manchurians, and so on. In his book, the origin of the baekjeong is attributed to a nomadic group from the Goryeo period known as the Yangsucheok (Hanja: 楊水尺) or Mujari (Korean: 무자리). Being an alien people, the Yangsuchuk were hardly assimilated into the general population. They were engaged in the making and selling of willow baskets. They were also proficient in slaughtering animals and had a liking for hunting.\n\nHistory\n\nIn the Goryeo period \nFrom the Goryeo Dynasty (918~1392) until the time of King Sejong of the Joseon Dynasty, was not used to refer to the lowest class of people. The Sino-Korean term () originally meant \"common people\", a meaning which it retains in Chinese and Japanese. Based on information in the , the chief surviving history of Goryeo Korea, scholars assume that a baekjeong is \"a person who has no burden of duties (역, 役)\". The term is a compound of (Korean: , Hanja: ), which means \"white/innocent/blank\", and (Korean: , Hanja: ) \"person, man\". As such, baekjeong or \"blank man\" connotes a group of peasants who have not been granted land because they have not received certain duties from the state.\n\nIn the Goryeo period, terms for the group which would later be known as baekjeong were (hanja: ), (hanja: ), or (hanja: ), and (Korean: , probably a compound of \"water\" and \"seat, place\"). They descended from the Jurchen or Khitans dating back to the beginning of Goryeo. They enjoyed group life among themselves so they continued to live in temporary residences while moving to various areas. They were distributed nationwide, but were especially concentrated in the provinces of Pyeongan-do and Hwanghae-do. They were not registered in the national register.\n\nIn the Joseon period \nIn the early days of the founding of the Joseon Dynasty, King Sejong consolidated the various outcaste groups with ordinary farmers. This combined group was called \"baekjeong\", the name of the general peasant group in the Goryeo period. King Sejong also put them on the family register, gave them lands to plant, settled them into fixed communities, and tried to keep them under state control. However, the common policies of King Sejong could not overcome the prejudices of the ordinary people, who continued to discriminate against the descendants of outcastes. Even government officials did not follow the instructions of the king.\n\nMoreover, it seems that the baekjeong did not change their existing lifestyle or occupation easily. They settled in one area but did not try to farm, instead engaging in the production and sale of wicker products, slaughtering, singing and dancing. In this situation, integration of the baekjeong into the ordinary peasantry was not easy and the practice of discrimination and suppression against them continued. In particular, the mainstream group regarded the life and customs of the butchers as despicable, antisocial, non-normative, and even potentially criminal.\n\nEnd of the Joseon Dynasty \nNear the end of the Joseon Dynasty, a mutual aid organization for the baekjeong was established, called Seungdongdoga (Korean: 승동도가, hanja: 承洞都家), with representatives from various communities. The organization was involved in taking action, coordinating improvements, and acting at times as the official representative of the baekjeong in legal matters. In 1894, the Korean caste system was legally abolished by the Gabo reform. However, social discrimination against the baekjeong did not come to an end. The family register of baekjeong was still separate and, under \"occupation\", their names were marked by the use of the word 屠漢 (\"butcher\") or a red dot. Nonetheless, the Gabo reform ensured that baekjeong could become officials, scholars, or artists if they had the ability. Although they were still largely limited to their traditional occupations, modified regulations in 1896 allowed non-baekjeong to become licensed butchers, eventually leading to meat businesses which have pushed many out of one of the few occupations open to them.\n\nHowever, while improvements to the social status of the baekjeong came slowly, it was different for the commoners (the lower of the yangmin), who had economically been little different from slaves. Respect for government officials plunged in the 17th century as they fled from the invading Japanese and Manchurians, leaving the civilians at their mercy. The government also awarded many militiamen yangban class status in exchange for their voluntary militia activities against these invaders. In time, with the rise of commerce, merchants bought forged family histories and official status documents as well. Eventually, around three fourths of the population were yangban in name.\n\nModern use\nThe term \"baekjeong\" is still used in modern Korean society. This is particularly common in occupations dealing with raw meat, which carry a negative social stigma. In spite of this, \"baekjeong\" is widely used in Korean restaurant names, denoting barbecue establishments where raw marinated meat is served and cooked at the table. In this context, baekjeong is descriptive and carries no negative connotation.\n\nJobs\n\nExecutioner\nThroughout much of the Joseon Dynasty, they were also forced to serve as executioners. When the baekjeong community were called upon to supply an executioner, the job was assigned to some hapless member, sometimes practically an insane person.\n\nButcher\nThe baekjeong did jobs that no self-respecting Buddhist Korean would touch, including anything working with animals. Slaughtering animals, leather making--these kinds of unclean duties were avoided by other Koreans, and so were filled de facto by baekjeong. In other words, the group was assigned to the most demeaning tasks in Korean society. They were also considered in moral violation of Buddhist principles, which led Koreans to see work involving meat as polluting and sinful, even if they saw the consumption as acceptable. By the latter part of the Joseon Dynasty, baekjeong accepted the principles of Confucianism and did not slaughter for three years when their parents died.\n\nDiscrimination\nThe group had long suffered severe social discrimination in Korean society. The baekjeong were seen as contemptible and polluted people that others feared and avoided meeting. Baekjeong could not live in a roof-tiled house and were not allowed to wear silk clothes or leather shoes or a gat (a traditional Korean horsehair hat). When baekjeong went outside their houses, they had to wear a paeraengi or bamboo hat. A baekjeong had to lower himself in front of a yangin and was forbidden to smoke or drink in their presence. Baekjeong could not ride a litter or horse when they married and a married woman could not wear a hair stick. Baekjeong were not allowed surnames and were forbidden the use of certain characters in their personal names, such as 仁 \"benevolence\", 義 \"righteousness\", 禮 \"rites\", or 智 \"wisdom\". The extent to which they were seen as impure people is well-illustrated in the fact that their bodies were kept in separate graveyards so as not to mingle with those of the yangmin.\n\nInfluence of religion \nDonghak and Christianity had a lot of influence on the baekjeong. These belief systems exposed the Baekjeong--and Koreans more generally--to concepts of egalitarianism and social equality. The influence of these religions became linked to the social movement.\n\nDonghak \nTowards the end of the 19th century, there was an increasing impetus towards human dignity and liberalization. Of particular importance was the growth of certain religions supportive of change. Donghak, a Korean nationalist religion, wished to end unfair conventions. Donghak peasants had staged an uprising in 1894 in favor of human rights, especially for those low on the social ladder. Among other things, they demanded that the baekjeong no longer be forced to wear discriminatory hats and widows be allowed to remarry. Although this uprising was ultimately unsuccessful, it was an important impetus behind the Gabo Reform, and helped to abolish the class structure that had placed legal restrictions on certain groups. However, the baekjeong benefited much less from these changes than other groups, such as the slaves.\n\nChristianity \nThe other major religious influence on human rights came through Christianity. Some missionaries had converted baekjeong to Christianity, stating that everyone has equal rights under God. However, everyone was not equal in Christian congregations and protests erupted when missionaries attempted to integrate the baekjeon into worship services, with non-baekjeong finding such attempts insensitive to traditional notions of social status. Thus, both Donghak and Christianity exposed the baekjeong, and Koreans more generally, to concepts of egalitarianism and social equality. Parallel to and supportive of the rise of these ideas were transitions occurring in Korean society as a whole, particularly with regard to social classes.\n\nSocial movements\nBeginning in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, the baekjeong began to resist the open social discrimination that existed against them. In 1900, leaders from 16 counties petitioned the mayor of Jinju to be allowed wear the same clothes and hats as other people. When others in the north refused to wear the humiliating garb traditionally expected of them and were jailed, an effort was made to release them. Growing industrialism in Korea began to erode baekjeong dominance over certain occupations, particularly as the Japanese began to control slaughterhouses and exploit them as employees.\n\nHowever, as some baekjeong fell into financial despair, the loosening of segregation led others to profit from changes, giving them the ability to fund efforts for change. Beyond financial resources, organization was also strengthened due to the longstanding connections created through segregation and close-knit social networks. Between these human and financial resources, an emphasis on progressive models, and feelings of social deprivation and discrimination, the conditions were ripe for the baekjeong to mobilize for change. One of the earliest of these movements was in 1910 when Chang Chip'il, later an influential member of the Hyeongpyeongsa, unsuccessfully attempted to establish a trade union for butchers. In 1921, the Jipseong Johap was established by Korean and Japanese entrepreneurs, attempting to provide poverty assistance for butchers. However, this effort for improvement of economic conditions was soon overshadowed by an organization with broader goals.\n\nThe Hyeongpyeongsa was launched in Jinju on 23 April 1923 through the alliance of wealthy or educated baekjeong and non-baekjeong proponents of change, advocating for \"the abolition of classes and of contemptuous appellations, the enlightenment of members, and the promotion of mutual friendship among members.\" It advocated both for individual civil rights as well as communal fellowship, recognizing that the group must maintain its identity under the strain of changes such as urbanization and industrialization which threatened to atomize the community. Thus, the Hyeongpyeongsa pursued both an equality of human rights and the right to assimilate into the broader public, even as it worked to forge a common identity. In 1927 a number of members of the Hyeongpyeongsa were arrested for their involvement in the creation of an underground nationalist organization. Their absence was partially responsible for the organization's shift to the socialist left in the late 1920s. Power within the organization shifted several times, including the shift in 1925 from the original Chinju faction advocating educational reform to a group of Seoul intellectuals more interested in economic reforms based around traditional occupations.\n\nAt the 1931 national conference, they stirred controversy within the movement by introducing a dissolution proposal, feeling that the organization had abandoned its original aims in favor of those of the bourgeois intellectuals directing it. It was their belief that dissolution would better serve their interests as it was replaced by trade unions. The dissolution proposal failed, but not without further alienating more conservative members of the movement, who were already financially strapped from broader economic conditions in Korea. Even more fatal for the movement was the arrest of a number of young radical members, who were accused of establishing a secret communist organization, the \"Hyeongpyeongsa Youth Vanguard\", which authorities said demanded struggle against feudalism and the abolishment of private property. The trial related to this accusation dragged on for four years, before the defendants were found to be innocent. It appears likely that the \"organization\" was a construction by Japanese authorities to ensure the labor wing of the Hyeongpyeongsa would not interfere with their access to leather needed for the invasion of China. As a result, the Hyeongpyeongsa shifted to the right, abandoning progressive ideals and finally disbanding in 1935, claiming the movement's aims had successfully been met.\n\nThe growing power of the radical wing divided the movement, and much of the economic support provided by wealthier baekjeong was pulled, particularly under the strain of the Great Depression, which had negatively impacted the meat and leather trades. The young socialists in the Hyŏngp'yŏngsa forged connections with other movements, attempting to broaden the movement and work towards \"the reconstitution of Korea as a whole.\" More importantly, they focused on social and economic injustices affecting the baekjeong, hoping to create an egalitarian Korean society. Their efforts included attacking social discrimination by the upper class, authorities, and \"commoners\" and the use of degrading language against children in public schools.\n\nSee also \n Jaegaseung\n Yangban\n Sangmin\n Cheonmin\n Nobi\n Untouchable (social system)\n Burakumin - The Japanese equivalent of baekjeong.\n Cagot - Similar historically persecuted people in France and Spain\n\nReferences\n\nJournal \n\n Osgood, Cornelius. 1951.

"Songbun (), formally chulsin-songbun (, from Sino-Korean 出身, \"origin\" and 成分, \"constituent\"), is the system of ascribed status used in North Korea. Based on the political, social, and economic background of one's direct ancestors as well as the behavior of their relatives, songbun is used to classify North Korean citizens into three primary castes—core, wavering, and hostile—in addition to approximately fifty sub-classifications, and determine whether an individual is trusted with responsibilities, is given opportunities within North Korea, or even receives adequate food. Songbun affects access to educational and employment opportunities and it particularly determines whether a person is eligible to join North Korea's ruling party, the Workers' Party of Korea.\n\nHistory\nThe Korean Workers' Party Politburo passed a decree in 1957 entitled \"On the Transformation of the Struggle with Counterrevolutionary Elements into an All-People All-Party Movement\", which established the policy and programs for conducting its first large-scale purges of North Korean society. The May 30th Resolution and the KWP's Intensive Guidance Project provided the basis for songbun's socio-political classification of the entire North Korean population by dividing the entire citizenry into three distinct loyalty groups based on family background: \"friendly\", \"neutral\", and \"enemy\" forces.\n\nDescription\n\nBased on the Resident Registration Project of 1967–70, there are three main classifications and about 50 sub-classifications. Those with a landlord, merchant, lawyer, or Christian minister in their background are given very low status. The highest status is accorded to those descended from participants in the resistance against Japanese occupation during and before World War II and to those who were factory workers, laborers, or peasants as of 1950. B. R. Myers, associate professor of international studies at Dongseo University in Busan, South Korea, summarizes the core (haeksim) class as consisting of \"high-ranking party cadres and their families\". The wavering (dongyo) class is reserved for average North Koreans, whereas the hostile (choktae) class is made of possible subversive elements (e.g. former landowners). According to CIA analyst Helen-Louise Hunter, the Communists were highly successful in turning the pre-revolutionary social structure upside down, and songbun is reflective of that. In her view, the \"preferred class\" consists of 30% of the population, the \"ordinary people\" make up the middle 40%, and \"undesirables\" make up the bottom 30%.\n\nFiles are maintained on every North Korean by security officials and party cadres from age 17 and updated every two years. In general, songbun is difficult to improve, but it can be downgraded for a variety of reasons such as a lack of political enthusiasm, marrying someone of lower standing, or being convicted—or having a family member convicted—of a crime, political or otherwise. Before the late 1960s, it was possible to conceal that a relative had bad songbun; however, the ancestry of all citizens was thoroughly checked starting with a 1966 census. These investigations have been suggested to have been a response to the Chinese Cultural Revolution which began in 1966. Kim Il Sung, afraid that Beijing would also interfere in his country, whether by invading or sponsoring a coup d'état (Chinese soldiers had been sent previously on \"provocative incursions\" into Korea), aimed to increase internal security by classifying his citizens. These investigations were repeated several times in subsequent years, for reasons varying from suspected corruption in previous checks to weeding out possible opposition.\n\nU.S. journalist Barbara Demick describes this \"class structure\" as an updating of the hereditary \"caste system\", combining Confucianism and Stalinism. She claims that a bad family background is called \"tainted blood\", and that by law this \"tainted blood\" lasts for three generations. She asserts, however, that North Koreans are not told of their classification, and that children can grow up without knowing about their family status. Similarly, analyst Helen-Louise Hunter describes songbun as \"class background\" and says that it is not officially published or precisely defined.\n\nThe North Korean government, on the contrary, proclaims that all citizens are equal and denies any discrimination based on family background.\n\nImportance\n\nSince the collapse of the Eastern Bloc in the late 1980s and early 1990s, the importance of songbun has decreased. Before the collapse, the North Korean economy was heavily subsidized by the bloc. Through these funds, the government was able to provide all material goods, so income could only be derived by working in industry or the bureaucracy. As a result, one's ability to obtain goods from the distribution system, where one could live, what career was pursued, or how much one could advance in society depended solely on their songbun, which made it the \"single-most important factor that determined the life of a North Korean\". Before the centralized system's collapse—which led to famine—the government had \"near-complete control of an individual's life\"; therefore, the only way to increase one's status or affluence was by advancing through the bureaucracy.\n\nDuring the 1994 to 1998 North Korean famine itself—when up to 2.5 million died—the songbun system \"often determined who ate and who starved\", according to Brian Hook.\n\nAs the centralized system collapsed, the importance of songbun decreased. To survive, capitalism was \"rediscovered\", and the average North Korean now derives most of his or her income through private enterprise. When these private markets started, it was instead more advantageous to be part of the hostile class, because they were not as dependent on the government as were those with better songbun. Military service has decreased in popularity; previously, after seven to ten years of service, a North Korean man could hope to become a low-level bureaucrat, but nowadays it is more profitable to engage in private enterprise. Songbun remains important to members of the government elite, but for the majority of North Koreans, wealth has become more important than songbun when defining one's place in society.\n\nA prominent example of songbun involves Ko Yong-hui, the mother of present leader Kim Jong Un. Ko was born in Osaka, Japan, which would make her part of the hostile class because of her Korean-Japanese heritage; furthermore, her grandfather worked in a sewing factory for the Imperial Japanese Army. \nBefore an internal propaganda film was released, after the ascension of Kim Jong Un, there were three attempts made to idolize Ko, in a style similar to that associated with Kang Pan-sŏk, mother of Kim Il Sung, and Kim Jong-suk, mother of Kim Jong Il and the first wife of Kim Il Sung. These previous attempts at idolization had failed, and they were stopped after Kim Jong Il's 2008 stroke. \nThe building of a cult of personality around Ko encounters the problem of her bad songbun, as making her identity public would undermine the Kim dynasty's pure bloodline. Ko's real name or other personal details have not been publicly revealed (her origins could be figured out, as she worked with Mansudae Art Troupe in Pyongyang), so she is referred to as \"Mother of Korea\" or \"Great Mother\", and the most recent propaganda film called its main character \"Lee Eun-mi\". The complications of Ko's songbun were such that after Kim Jong Il's death, her personal information, including name, became state secrets. While songbun is usually passed from the father, Ko's background has the \"lowest imaginable status qualities\" for a North Korean.\n\nSee also\n\nYan'an faction\nCaste\nSocial status\nHukou\n\nReferences\n\nCitations\n\nWorks cited\n\nFurther reading\n – Annex E.

"Baekje or Paekche (, ) was a Korean kingdom located in southwestern Korea from 18 BC to 660 AD. It was one of the Three Kingdoms of Korea, together with Goguryeo and Silla. While the three kingdoms were in separate existence, Baekje had the highest population of approximately 3,800,000 people (760,000 households), which was similar to that of Goguryeo (3,500,000 people) and much larger than that of Silla (850,000 people). \n\nBaekje was founded by Onjo, the third son of Goguryeo's founder Jumong and Soseono, at Wiryeseong (present-day southern Seoul). Baekje, like Goguryeo, claimed to succeed Buyeo, a state established in present-day Manchuria around the time of Gojoseon's fall.\n\nBaekje alternately battled and allied with Goguryeo and Silla as the three kingdoms expanded control over the peninsula. At its peak in the 4th century, Baekje controlled most of the western Korean peninsula, as far north as Pyongyang, and may have even held territories in China, such as in Liaoxi, though this view is controversial. It became a significant regional sea power, with political and trade relations with China and Japan.\n\nBaekje was a great maritime power; its nautical skill, which made it the Phoenicia of East Asia, was instrumental in the dissemination of Buddhism throughout East Asia and continental culture to Japan.\n\nIn 660, it was defeated by the Tang dynasty and Silla, and was ultimately submitted to Unified Silla.\n\nEtymology \nThe most common name used by most historians is Baekje (백제), meaning \"hundred counties\", but was originally founded by Onjo as 十濟, which figuratively means \"tens of counties\". Only during the reign of Geunchogo (肖古王) was it renamed as Baekje. It is also attested as 居陀羅 Kudara, meaning \"great place\", which could have been a possible endonym that was later on borrowed into Old Japanese.\n\nHistory\n\nFounding\nBaekje is mainly composed of the native Han (Hanja: 韓人) and the Koreanic Yemaek (Hanja: 濊貊族) from Goguryeo and Buyeo. Those from the Lelang Commandery (Korean: Nakrang, Hanja: 樂浪) came in through trade and conquest, and a small number of Jin (Hanja: 辰人) were also admitted into the polities of Baekje.\n\nBaekje was founded in 18 BC by King Onjo, who led a group of people from Goguryeo south to the Han River basin. According to the Chinese Records of the Three Kingdoms, during the Samhan period, one of the chiefdoms of the Mahan confederacy was called already Baekje.\n\nThe Samguk Sagi provides a detailed account of Baekje's founding. Jumong had left his son Yuri in Buyeo when he left that kingdom to establish the new kingdom of Goguryeo. Jumong became Divine King Dongmyeong, and had two more sons with Soseono, Onjo and Biryu. When Yuri later arrived in Goguryeo, Jumong promptly made him the crown prince. Realizing Yuri would become the next king, Soseono left Goguryeo, taking her two sons Biryu and Onjo south to found their own kingdoms with their people, along with ten vassals. She is remembered as a key figure in the founding of both Goguryeo and Baekje.\n\nOnjo settled in Wiryeseong (present-day Hanam), and called his country Sipje (십제, 十濟, meaning \"Ten Vassals\"), while Biryu settled in Michuhol (present-day Incheon), against the vassals' advice. The salty water and marshes in Michuhol made settlement difficult, while the people of Wiryeseong lived prosperously.\n\nBiryu then went to his brother Onjo, asking for the throne of Sipje. When Onjo refused, Biryu declared war, but lost. In shame, Biryu committed suicide, and his people moved to Wiryeseong, where King Onjo welcomed them and renamed his country Baekje (\"Hundred Vassals\").\n\nKing Onjo moved the capital from the south to the north of the Han river, and then south again, probably all within present Seoul, under pressure from other Mahan states. King Gaeru is believed to have moved the capital north of the river to Bukhansanseong in 132, probably in present-day Goyang to the northwest of Seoul.\n\nThrough the early centuries of the Common Era, sometimes called the Proto–Three Kingdoms period, early Baekje gradually gained control over the other Mahan tribes.\n\nExpansion\n\nThe Baekje Kingdom, which belongs to the Mahan confederacy, first integrates the Han River (Korea) basin area, then overthrows Mokji state (목지국, 目支國), the dominant country, and then integrates Mahan as a territorial state.\n\nDuring the reign of King Goi (234–286), Baekje became a full-fledged kingdom, as it continued consolidating the Mahan confederacy. In 249, according to the ancient Japanese text Nihonshoki, Baekje's expansion reached the Gaya confederacy to its east, around the Nakdong River valley. Baekje is first described in Chinese records as a kingdom in 345. The first diplomatic missions from Baekje reached Japan around 367 (According to the Nihon Shoki: 247).\n\nKing Geunchogo (346–375) expanded Baekje's territory to the north through war against Goguryeo, while annexing the remaining Mahan societies in the south. During Geunchogo's reign, the territories of Baekje included most of the western Korean Peninsula (except the two Pyeongan provinces), and in 371, Baekje defeated Goguryeo at Pyongyang. Baekje continued substantial trade with Goguryeo, and actively adopted Chinese culture and technology. Buddhism became the official state religion in 384.\n\nBaekje also became a sea power and continued mutual goodwill relationships with the Japanese rulers of the Kofun period, transmitting continental cultural influences to Japan. The Chinese writing system, Buddhism, advanced pottery, ceremonial burial, and other aspects of culture were introduced by aristocrats, artisans, scholars, and monks throughout their relationship.\n\nDuring this period, the Han River basin remained the heartland of the country.\n\nUngjin period\nIn the 5th century, Baekje retreated under the southward military threat of Goguryeo, and in 475, the Seoul region fell to Goguryeo. Baekje's capital was located at Ungjin (present-day Gongju) from 475 to 538.\n\nIsolated in mountainous terrain, the new capital was secure against the north but also disconnected from the outside world. It was closer to Silla than Wiryeseong had been, however, and a military alliance was forged between Silla and Baekje against Goguryeo.\n\nMost maps of the Three Kingdoms period show Baekje occupying the Chungcheong and Jeolla provinces, the core of the country in the Ungjin and Sabi periods.\n\nSabi period\nIn 538, King Seong moved the capital to Sabi (present-day Buyeo County), and rebuilt his kingdom into a strong state. Temporarily, he changed the official name of the country as the Nambuyeo (, ; lit. \"Southern Buyeo\"), a reference to Buyeo to which Baekje traced its origins. The Sabi period witnessed the flowering of Baekje culture, alongside the growth of Buddhism.\n\nUnder pressure from Goguryeo to the north and Silla to the east, Seong sought to strengthen Baekje's relationship with China. The location of Sabi, on the navigable Geum River, made contact with China much easier, and both trade and diplomacy flourished during his reign and continuing on into the 7th century.\n\nIn the 7th century, with the growing influence of Silla in the southern and central Korean peninsula, Baekje began its decline.\n\nFall and restoration movement\n\nIn 660, the coalition troops of Silla and Tang of China attacked Baekje, which was then allied with Goguryeo. A heavily outmanned army led by General Gyebaek was defeated in the Battle of Hwangsanbeol near Nonsan. The capital Sabi fell almost immediately thereafter, resulting in the annexation of Baekje by Silla. King Uija and his son Buyeo Yung were sent into exile in China while at least some of the ruling class fled to Japan. The fall of Sabi resulted in one of the infamous episodes in Korean history, as countless Baekje court ladies, concubines and women of the nobility committed suicide by jumping off a cliff near Sabi rather than be captured by the Silla-Tang Alliance. To memoralize this tragic event in history, a pavilion stands at the so-called \"Rock of the Falling Flowers\" commemorating Baekje's defeat and the suicide of the kingdom's court ladies and concubines who jumped off the cliff.\n\nBaekje forces attempted a brief restoration movement but faced Silla–Tang joint forces. A Buddhist monk Dochim (도침, 道琛) and the former Baekje general Buyeo Boksin rose to try to revive Baekje. They welcomed the Baekje prince Buyeo Pung back from Japan to serve as king, with Juryu (주류, 周留, in modern Seocheon County, South Chungcheong) as their headquarters. They put the Tang general Liu Renyuan (劉仁願) under siege in Sabi. Emperor Gaozong sent the general Liu Rengui, who had previously been demoted to commoner rank for offending Li Yifu, with a relief force, and Liu Rengui and Liu Renyuan were able to fight off the Baekje resistance forces' attacks, but were themselves not strong enough to quell the rebellion, and so for some time the armies were in stalemate.\n\nBaekje requested Japanese aid, and King Pung returned to Baekje with a contingent of 10,000 soldiers. Before the ships from Japan arrived, his forces battled a contingent of Tang forces in Ungjin County.\n\nIn 663, Baekje revival forces and a Japanese naval fleet convened in southern Baekje to confront the Silla forces in the Battle of Baekgang. The Tang dynasty also sent 7,000 soldiers and 170 ships. After five naval confrontations, each of which the Silla-Tang joint fleet won, that took place in August 663 at Baekgang, considered the lower reaches of Geum River or Dongjin river, the Silla–Tang forces emerged victorious, and Buyeo Pung escaped to Goguryeo.\n\nSocial and political structure\n\nThe establishment of a centralized state in Baekje is usually traced to the reign of King Goi, who may have first established patrilineal succession. Like most monarchies, a great deal of power was held by the aristocracy. King Seong, for example, strengthened royal power, but after he was slain in a disastrous campaign against Silla, the nobles took much of that power away from his son.\n\nThe ruler titles of Baekje were *eraγa (於羅瑕), mostly used by the nobility, and *k(j)ə-n kici (鞬吉支), as he would be called by the commoners. The queen consort was called *oluk (於陸) and pasɨkasɨ (벗〯갓) meaning \"woman companion\".\n\nThe Hae clan and the Jin clan were the representative royal houses who had considerable power from the early period of Baekje, and they produced many queens over several generations. The Hae clan was probably the royal house before the Buyeo clan replaced them, and both clans appear descended from the lineage of Buyeo and Goguryeo. The \"Great Eight Families\" (Sa, Yeon, Hyeop, Hae, Jin, Guk, Mok, and Baek) were powerful nobles in the Sabi era, recorded in Chinese records such as Tongdian.\n\nCentral government officials were divided into sixteen ranks, the six members of the top rank forming a type of cabinet, with the top official being elected every three years. In the Sol rank, the first (Jwapyeong) through the sixth (Naesol) officials were political, administrative, and military commanders. In the Deok rank, the seventh (Jangdeok) through the eleventh (Daedeok) officials may have headed each field. Mundok, Mudok, Jwagun, Jinmu and Geuku from the twelfth to the sixteenth, may have been military administrators.\n\nAccording to the Samguk Yusa, during the Sabi period, the chief minister (Jaesang) of Baekje was chosen by a unique system. The names of several candidates were placed under a rock (Cheonjeongdae) near Hoamsa temple. After a few days, the rock was moved and the candidate whose name had a certain mark was chosen as the new chief minister. Whether this was a form of selection by lot or a covert selection by the elite is not clear. This Council was called the Jeongsaamhoeui (政事巖會議, The council of rocks with state affairs).\n\nMilitary\nThe town leaders and its subjects participated in the military of Baekje on a local level, and was distributed of the loots and captives.The subjects usually worked in the supply division. The post of Jwajang led the military. Geunchogo established the division of central military and local militaries and the people of Baekje usually served the military for three years. As Baekje entered the Sabi period, the military was divided into the royal private guard, the capital central military and the local military. The royal private guard handled matters such as protecting the palace. The weapons available to the soldiers were diverse.\n\nArchaeology\nThe first ever bone remains of Baekje people were found in the eungpyeongri tombs in buyeo, which made possible reconstructions of appearances of Baekje people possible, and the tombs seem to have no sign of being looted.\n\nLanguage and culture\nBaekje was established by immigrants from Goguryeo who spoke what could be a Buyeo language, a hypothetical group linking the languages of Gojoseon, Buyeo, Goguryeo, and Baekje. In a case of diglossia, the indigenous Samhan people, having migrated in an earlier wave from the same region, probably spoke a variety of the same language. Kōno Rokurō has argued that the kingdom of Baekje was bilingual, with the gentry speaking a Puyŏ language and the common people a Han language.\n\nBuddhism, a religion originating in what is now India, was transmitted to Korea via China in the late 4th century. The Samguk yusa records the following 3 monks among first to bring the Buddhist teaching, or Dharma, to Korea: Malananta (late 4th century) – an Indian Buddhist monk who brought Buddhism to Baekje in the southern Korean peninsula, Sundo – a Chinese Buddhist monk who brought Buddhism to Goguryeo in northern Korea and Ado monk who brought Buddhism to Silla in central Korea.\n\nBaekje artists adopted many Chinese influences and synthesized them into a unique artistic tradition. Buddhist themes are extremely strong in Baekje artwork. The beatific Baekje smile found on many Buddhist sculptures expresses the warmth typical of Baekje art. Taoist influences are also widespread. Chinese artisans were sent to the kingdom by the Liang dynasty in 541, and this may have given rise to an increased Chinese influence in the Sabi period.\n\nThe tomb of King Muryeong (501–523), although modeled on Chinese brick tombs and yielding some imported Chinese objects, also contained many funerary objects of the Baekje tradition, such as the gold crown ornaments, gold belts, and gold earrings. Mortuary practices also followed the unique tradition of Baekje. This tomb is seen as a representative tomb of the Ungjin period.\n\nDelicate lotus designs of the roof-tiles, intricate brick patterns, curves of the pottery style, and flowing and elegant epitaph writing characterize Baekje culture. The Buddhist sculptures and refined pagodas reflect religion-inspired creativity. A splendid gilt-bronze incense burner ( Baekje Geumdong Daehyeongno) excavated from an ancient Buddhist temple site at Neungsan-ri, Buyeo County, exemplifies Baekje art.\n\nLittle is known of Baekje music, but local musicians were sent with tribute missions to China in the 7th century, indicating that a distinctive musical tradition had developed by that time.\n\nForeign relations\n\nRelations with China\n\nIn 372, King Geunchogo paid tribute to the Jin dynasty of China, located in the basin of the Yangtze River. After the fall of Jin and the establishment of Song dynasty in 420, Baekje sent envoys seeking cultural goods and technologies.\n\nBaekje sent an envoy to Northern Wei of Northern Dynasties for the first time in 472, and King Gaero asked for military aid to attack Goguryeo. Kings Muryeong and Seong sent envoys to Liang several times and received titles of nobility.\n\nTomb of King Muryeong is built with bricks according with Liang's tomb style.\n\nRelations with Japan\n\nCultural impact and military assistance\n\nTo confront the military pressure of Goguryeo to its north and Silla to its east, Baekje (Kudara in Japanese) established close relations with Japan. According to the Korean chronicle Samguk Sagi, Baekje and Silla sent some princes to the Japanese court as hostages. Whether the princes sent to Japan should be interpreted as diplomats as part of an embassy or literal hostages is debated. Due to the confusion on the exact nature of this relationship (the question of whether the Baekje Koreans were family or at least close to the Japanese Imperial line or whether they were hostages) and the fact that the Nihon Shoki, a primary source of material for this relationship, is a compilation of myth, makes it difficult to evaluate. The Samguk Sagi, which also documents this, can also be interpreted in various ways and at any rate it was rewritten in the 13th century, easily seven or eight centuries after these particular events took place. Adding to the confusion is the discovery (in Japan) that the \"Inariyama sword, as well as some other swords discovered in Japan, utilized the Korean 'Idu' system of writing\". The swords \"originated in Paekche and that the kings named in their inscriptions represent Paekche kings rather than Japanese kings\". The techniques for making these swords were the apparently similar to styles from Korea, specifically from Baekje. In Japan, the hostage interpretation is dominant.\n\nOther historians, such as those who collaborated on 'Paekche of Korea and the Origin of Yamato Japan' and Jonathan W. Best, who helped translate what was left of the Baekje annals, have noted that these princes set up schools in Yamato Japan and took control of the Japanese naval forces during the war with Goguryeo, taking this as evidence of them being more along the lines of diplomats with some kind of familial tie to the Japanese imperial family and as evidence against any hostage status.\n\nAs is with many long-past histories and competing records, very little can be definitively concluded. Further research has been difficult, in part due to the 1976 restriction on the study of royal tombs in Japan (to include tombs such as the Gosashi tomb, which is allegedly the resting place of Empress Jingū). Prior to 1976, foreign researchers did have access, and some found Korean artifacts in Japanese dig sites. Recently in 2008, Japan has allowed controlled limited access to foreign archaeologists, but the international community still has many unanswered questions. National Geographic has written that Japan \"the agency has kept access to the tombs restricted, prompting rumors that officials fear excavation would reveal bloodline links between the \"pure\" imperial family and Koreaor that some tombs hold no royal remains at all.\"\n\nIn any case, these Koreans, diplomats and royal relatives or not, brought to Japan knowledge of the Chinese writing system, Buddhism, iron processing for weapons, and various other technologies. In exchange, Japan provided military support.</ref>\n\nAccording to mythical accounts in the controversial Nihon Shoki, Empress Jingū extracted tribute and pledges of allegiance from the kings of Baekje, Silla, and Goguryeo. At the height of Japanese nationalism in the early 20th century, Japanese historians used these mythical accounts along with a passage in the Gwanggaeto Stele to establish ideological rationale to the imperialist outcry for invasion of Korea. Other historians have pointed out that there is no evidence of this Japanese account in any part of Korea, in addition to not being in any viable text in China or Korea. Regarding the Gwanggaeto Stele, because the lack of syntax and punctuation the text can be interpreted 4 different ways, one which states that Korea crossed the water and subjugated Yamato. Due to this problem in interpretation, nothing can be concluded. Also complicating the matter is that in the Nihongi a Korean named Amenohiboko is described in Nihon Shoki as a maternal predecessor of , This is highly inconsistent and difficult to interpret correctly.\n\nScholars believe that the Nihon Shoki gives the invasion date of Silla and Baekje as the late 4th century. However, by this time, Japan was a confederation of local tribes without sophisticated iron weapons, while the Three Kingdoms of Korea were fully developed centralized powers with modern iron weapons and were already utilizing horses for warfare. It is very unlikely that a developing state such as Yamato had the capacity to cross the sea and engage in battles with Baekje and Silla. The Nihon Shoki is widely regarded to be an unreliable and biased source of information on early relations with Korea, as it mixes heavy amounts of supposition and legend with facts.\n\nSome Japanese scholars interpret the Gwanggaeto Stele, erected in 414 by King Jangsu of Goguryeo, as describing a Japanese invasion in the southern portion of the Korean peninsula. However, Mohan claims that Goguryeo fabricated the Japanese invasion in order to justify its conquest of Baekje. If this stele was a dedication to a Korean king, it can be argued that it would logically highlight Korea's conquests and not dedicate it to a strange incident regarding Japan. In any case, because of these various possible interpretations, the circumstances surrounding the stele are still highly debated and inconclusive.\n\nChinese scholars participated in the study of the Stele during the 1980s. Wang Jianqun interviewed local farmers and decided that no intentional fabrication occurred, adding that the lime on the Stele was pasted by local copy-making workers to enhance readability. Xu Jianxin of the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences discovered the earliest rubbed copy which was made before 1881. He also concluded that there was no evidence the Japanese had intentionally damaged any of the characters on the Stele.\n\nToday, most Chinese and Japanese scholars contradict the conspiracy theories, based on the study of the Stele itself and advocate Japanese intervention in the era, although its size and effect are disputed.\n\nIn the project of writing a common history textbook, Kim Tae-sik of Hongik University (Korea) denied Japan's theory. But, Kōsaku Hamada of Kyushu University (Japan) reported their interpretations of the Gwanggaeto Stele text, neither of them adopting the intentionally damaged stele theory in their interpretations.\n\nThe fall of Baekje and military support from Japan\n\nSome members of the Baekje nobility and royalty emigrated to Japan even before the kingdom was overthrown. In response to Baekje's request, Japan in 663 sent the general Abe no Hirafu with 20,000 troops and 1,000 ships to revive Baekje with Buyeo Pung (known in Japanese as Hōshō), a son of Uija of Baekje who had been an emissary to Japan. Around August 661, 10,000 soldiers and 170 ships, led by Abe no Hirafu, arrived. Additional Japanese reinforcement, including 27,000 soldiers led by Kamitsukeno no Kimi Wakako (上毛野君稚子) and 10,000 soldiers led by Iohara no Kimi (廬原君) also arrived at Baekje in 662.\n\nThis attempt, however, failed at the Battle of Baekgang, and the prince escaped to Goguryeo. According to the Nihon Shoki, 400 Japanese ships were lost in the battles. Only half of the troops were able to return to Japan.\n\nThe Japanese army retreated to Japan with many Baekje refugees. The former royal family members were initially treated as \"foreign guests\" (蕃客) and were not incorporated into the political system of Japan for some time. Buyeo Pung's younger brother Seon'gwang (Zenkō in Japanese) ( or ) used the family name Kudara no Konikishi (\"King of Baekje\") () (they are also called the Kudara clan, as Baekje was called Kudara in Japanese).\n\nLegacy\n\nBaekje was briefly revived in the Later Three Kingdoms of Korea period, as Unified Silla collapsed. In 892, General Gyeon Hwon established Hubaekje (\"Later Baekje\"), based in Wansan (present-day Jeonju). Hubaekje was overthrown in 936 by King Taejo of Goryeo.\n\nIn contemporary South Korea, Baekje relics are often symbolic of the local cultures of the southwest, especially in Chungnam and Jeolla. The gilt-bronze incense burner, for example, is a key symbol of Buyeo County, and the Baekje-era Buddhist rock sculpture of Seosan Maaesamjonbulsang is an important symbol of Seosan City.\n\nBaekje is believed to have introduced the man'yōgana writing system to Japan, of which the modern hiragana and katakana scripts are descendants. Kojiki and the Nihon shoki both state this, and though direct evidence is hard to come by, most scholars tend to accept this idea.\n\nOn 17 April 2009, Ōuchi Kimio (大內公夫) of Ōuchi clan visited Iksan, Korea to pay tribute to his Baekje ancestors. The Ōuchi are descendants of Prince Imseong.\n\nIn 2010, Baekje Cultural Land was opened to visitors. The theme park aims to preserve Baekje architecture and culture.\n\nBaekje Historic Areas, which feature locations with remains of the period, was designated a UNESCO World Heritage site in 2015.\n\nSee also\n Crown of Baekje\n Creation myth of Baekje\n List of Baekje people\n List of Baekje monarchs\n\nNotes\n\nReferences\n\nBibliography\n\nExternal links\n\nBaekje History & Culture Hall maintained by South Chungcheong Province of South Korea\nBuyeo National Museum\nGongju National Museum\n\n \nAncient peoples of Korea\nFormer countries in East Asia\nFormer countries in Korean history\nHistory of Korea\n18 BC establishments\n660 disestablishments\nThree Kingdoms of Korea\nStates and territories established in the 1st century BC\nStates and territories disestablished in 660\nTributaries of Imperial China",

"Dang'an () is a Chinese word meaning \"archived record/file\". Used in the political and administrative context, it means a permanent dossier or archival system that records the \"performance and attitudes\" of citizens of mainland China. Together with the current system of household registration, the Hukou system, it has been an important part of the government's efforts to maintain control of its people. Majority of the records are kept by the local archive bureaus, some by the State Archives Administration of China at the national level.\n\nContents\n\nThe Dang'an includes personal information such as physical characteristics, employment record, photograph, etc. However, it also contains many other documents that would be considered private in some other cultures. According to Wang Fei-ling and other sources, this includes appraisals by supervisors and peers, academic reports from primary school to university, professional credentials, any criminal convictions or administrative penalties, club/society memberships, employment records, and political history (such as Youth League and CPC membership and assessments). Some of the material is composed by the subject. Even the death certificate and eulogy may be placed in the file.\n\nThere are two copies for adults: one held on behalf of their work unit by its supervisory organization, and the other at the local Public Security Bureau (PSB). Access to dang'an is strictly controlled. Citizens do not usually see their dang'an, although they may ask a Communist Party member to check it for them. Alterations may only be carried out by special cadres, and when combined with the custom of guanxi the result is that, \"Personal revenge, false entries, and special favors are thus part of the game.\"\n\nA Montreal-based human rights group has claimed that the PSB is in the process of computerizing the hundreds of millions of dang'an.\n\nSignificance\n\nDuring the Maoist era, these dossiers were consulted by work unit officials as they made decisions about the major life events of those under their control. Urban residents were assigned jobs by the state. Thereafter, permission from the work unit was needed for marriage, childbirth, and transferring the dang'an (i.e., changing workplace). During the Cultural Revolution era, they were even used to determine which individuals and families would be sent to carry out manual labour in the countryside, under the theory of bloodlines. As late as 2003, academic Zhou Jinghao could write that, \"A work unit controls employees basically through the dang'an (personnel dossier) system. An employee cannot transfer to another work unit without his dang'an.\"\n\nAs Chinese economic reform has proceeded, the situation has been less clear-cut, as the dang'an system conflicts with market-oriented labour contracts. Graduates have been able to choose their own employment since the mid-1990s in most regions (the latest, Tibet, in 2006), and marriage has not required work unit consent since 2003. Some private companies in prosperous Guangdong do not even require access to the files, which remains with the employee's neighbourhood committee. However, individuals may still be granted or denied passports, promotions, and other benefits based on information in their dang'an. According to BBC journalist Rupert Wingfield-Hayes, \"A black mark against you – a bad school report, a disagreement with your boss, a visit to a psychiatrist – all can travel with you for the rest of your life...\" They are also used in investigations by the Ministry of State Security.\n\nLimitations of the dang'an system\n\nAn embryonic dang'an is created when individuals enter the school system. This is similar to the permanent file of a school student in some Western school systems, and is transferred from school to school, but in China it is required for entry to university or a work unit, to which the file is then transferred. Millions of peasants, who work on family farms or in small businesses, never acquire a dang'an. Those who do are classified as either cadres (Chinese: ganbu) or workers (Chinese: gōngrén). It is difficult to cross this boundary.\n\nAccording to Zhou, \"private and foreign-funded enterprises are no longer required to receive the dang'an when they hire employees.\" Instead, foreign firms transfer them to the Ministry of Commerce.\n\nThe future of dang'an was questioned by Qiao Shi, P.R.China's number three leader in the mid-90s. In 1996, he proposed to the National People's Congress that the dang'an system be abolished. Both Qiao and the proposal fell out of favour the following year.\n\nComparison to Western systems\nAmerican education activist John Taylor Gatto, for example, draws comparisons to dang'an in his critique of the United States school system.\n\nComputerized data repository \nIn 2015, the Financial Times reported that the 13th Five Year Plan, planned for the period 2016–2020, includes plans to establish a \"centralised repository for citizen information\" to \"the creation of a robust [national] socio-psychological service system.\" This system has subsequently been referred to in English-language press accounts as the \"social credit system\".\n\nSee also\nPublic record\nArchive\nSocial Credit System\n\nReferences\n\nExternal links\n State Archives Administration of China\n\nGovernment of China\nChinese family registers",
"The Samchung re-education camp was a South Korean concentration camp set up during the early 1980s under the rule of military dictator Chun Doo-hwan. More than 60,000 people—with estimates up to almost 100,000 people, many of them innocent civilians—were arrested without warrants and faced violent treatment in such camps. The camp was located in Yeoncheon, Gyeonggi Province.\n\nHistory\nIn August 1980, under the South Korean military junta, Samchung served as a prison camp for critics of the new military regime and people considered to be a \"social ill\". This included participants of the notable Gwangju Uprising. \n\nWithin a span of six months, more than 40,000 people, many of whom had clean criminal records, were forced into hard labor or faced physical violence by the military, with some of them dying due to ill-treatment. \n\nThere were four categories in the camp, A, B, C and D.

"Kwalliso () or kwan-ri-so is the term for political penal labor and rehabilitation colonies in North Korea. They constitute one of three forms of political imprisonment in the country, the other two being what Washington DC based NGO Committee for Human Rights in North Korea described as \"short-term detention/forced-labor centers\" and \"long-term prison labor camps\", for misdemeanor and felony offenses respectively. It is unknown if there are any operating as of 2023.\n\nDurations of imprisonment are variable. However, many are condemned to labor for life. Forced labor duties within kwalliso typically include work in mines (known examples including coal, gold, and iron ore), tree felling, timber cutting, or agricultural duties. Furthermore, camps contain state run prison farms and furniture manufacturing.\n\nEstimates suggest that at the start of 2007, a total of six kwalliso camps were operating within the country. Despite fourteen kwalliso camps originally operating within North Korea, these later merged or were closed following the reallocation of prisoners. Kwalliso gained yet more international attention when Otto Warmbier, an American college student, was jailed in a kwalliso and died very shortly after release.\n\nOrigins and development\n\nHistorical emergence and conceptualization \nIn January 1979, a report was released by Amnesty International detailing the story of Ali Lameda, a Venezuelan poet imprisoned in North Korea. He had been arrested in 1967, held for a year without trial, placed on house arrest, then incarcerated again for six years, a portion of his twenty-year sentence. It was the first-ever report on human rights in North Korea. Yet this international awareness did not indicate something new, for long before this report was compiled, individuals had been systematically imprisoned for political crimes in North Korea for decades.\n\nStalinist and Maoist influences \nFrom its inception, North Korea has maintained a complex relationship with Russia and China. Immediately after the end of the Korean War (1953), North Korea and Kim Il Sung looked to the Soviet Union and China for both economic and military support. Prior to the great split between the Soviet Union and China in the early 1960s, Kim visited both Moscow and Beijing often, but the split created enormous problems for Kim, who struggled to keep on good terms with both of them. To a large extent, he owed his career as well as his country's well-being to the Soviet Union and China, yet he was always wary of their dominant power. But the Sino-Soviet dispute also gave Kim Il Sung ample space to maneuver between the two great powers of communism, each of which was forced to tolerate his independence for fear of pushing him decisively to the opposite camp. \n\nWhile according to North Korean propaganda, Kim is the sole originator of all policy, the original leader was not original in all of his ideas. Even Juche, hailed as the fundamental original Korean ideology, has been attributed to earlier Korean philosophers. In sum, the model for the prison camp system may have come from the gulags established by Joseph Stalin in the 1930s, which ironically might have come into North Korea as a reaction against a wave of de-Stalinization, led by the Soviet Union, in the 1950s. Another possibility is that Kim's departure from Soviet doctrine indicated a shift closer to Maoist China.\n\nDevelopment of the prison camp system \n\nNorth Korean history produced an endless wave after wave of persecuted individuals, yet there is no coherent trail showing when the political and penal mechanisms developed to systematically accommodate them. The story of persecuted groups in North Korea begins with the country's origin following Japan's defeat in WWII and the liberation of the Korean peninsula. In the North, Kim Il Sung systematically purged his political opponents, creating a highly centralized system that accorded him unlimited power and generated a formidable cult of personality. North Korea instituted a revolution that included genuinely popular reforms such as establishing an eight-hour work day, promoting literacy, and positing the formal equality of the sexes. However, it also included a purge of Koreans in the police and government bureaucracies who had collaborated with the Japanese colonization of Korea and a sweeping land reform program that expropriated the landholdings of absentee Japanese landlords and the native Korean landed aristocracy. Numerous purged police officials and disposed Korean landlords fled to the south, but their family members who remained in the north remained under suspicion, and many would end up imprisoned in the North Korean prison system. During the Korean War, North Koreans accused of collaboration with the United States, South Korea, and the United Nations Command were also imprisoned.\n\nWhile Kim attempted to fuse returning Korean exiles (mostly members of the Chinese, Japanese, or Soviet Russian communist parties) into the Korean Workers Party, his plans for northern Korea were challenged by other Korean political parties affiliated with two religions: Protestant Christianity and an indigenous syncretic faith known as “Eastern Learning” (Donghak), later called “Church of the Heavenly Way” (Cheondogyo). These religious-based social movements had led the internal opposition to Japanese colonial rule in Korea and were very well organized in the northern areas of the Korean peninsula. One of these leaders was actually a first choice by the Soviets (over Kim Il Sung) to lead the newly minted North Korean state in 1945, but he turned down the invitation. Suppressing these non-communist parties led to numerous arrests and executions. And again, family members who remained in the north remained under suspicion.\n\nAnother round of purges occurred during the fallout after the attempt to overthrow Kim Il Sung in 1956. Here, the practice of “self-criticism” was introduced. People at all levels of the party, including Politburo members and government ministers, were forced to undergo these purposefully humiliating displays of dedication to the Party. These were uniquely cruel, as some victims were ousted from their jobs while a smaller number of individuals even lost their lives. This 1950s wave of persecution finally left the only faction Kim Il Sung desired: his loyal band of Manchuria-based, communist, anti-Japanese partisans who became the enduring foundation of the present North Korean regime. Yet, there are no references in the documentation to a collectivization process or a systemic means of imprisoning accused “traitors” in dedicated camps.\n\nToday, the internment camps for people accused of political offenses or denounced as politically unreliable are reportedly run by the State Security Department. Yet in practice, the distribution of roles between the respective security agencies has apparently varied over time and between provinces, influenced by political priorities, available capacity, the relative power of senior officials, and the extent to which a particular agency enjoyed the trust of the supreme leader. In many cases, the three main security agencies—State Security Department, Ministry of People's Security, and Military Security Command—competed to show their efficiency in identifying ideological opponents to gain favor with the leader. In relation to incidents or issues seen as major political threats, the leader or central-level decision-making organs required security agencies to coordinate their investigations. There are reports, for example, that semi-permanent structures were set up by secret order of Kim Jong Il and maintained under Kim Jong Un.\n\nSuch a huge prison camp system – operating in secret and completely outside the law and the reach of the law, such as is the case in North Korea – risks becoming a dumping ground for all sorts of persons. It is widely suspected that the North Korean camps, then, became the sites for un-repatriated South Korean prisoners of war from the Korean War, or for other South Korean and Japanese citizens who have been abducted by North Korean security and police operatives over the course of the last thirty to forty years of the 20th century, and into the 21st century.\n\nPopulation\nIn 2013, there were between 80,000 and 120,000 political prisoners in kwalliso. The number is down from 150,000–200,000 during the 1990s and early 2000s, due to releases, deaths, and also the near-abandonment of the family responsibility principle, where immediate family members of a convicted political criminal were also regarded as political criminals and imprisoned. The earliest estimates were from 1982, when the number was thought to be 105,000.\n\nCamp locations\n\nNorth Korea's kwalliso consist of a series of sprawling encampments measuring kilometers long and kilometers wide. The number of these encampments has varied over time. They are located mostly in the valleys between high mountains in the northern provinces of North Korea. There are between 5,000 and 50,000 prisoners per kwalliso. \n\nAs typical for prisons, kwalliso are usually surrounded at their outer perimeters by barbed-wire fences punctuated with guard towers and patrolled by heavily armed guards. The encampments include self-contained, closed \"village\" compounds for single persons, usually the alleged wrongdoers, and other closed, fenced-in \"villages\" for the extended families of the wrongdoers. \n\nThe following lists former or currently operating kwalliso prisons:\n Prison camp No. 14: Kaech'ŏn, South Pyongan province \n Prison camp No. 16: Myonggan, North Hamgyong province.\n Prison camp No. 18: Pukch'ang, South Pyongan province.\n Prison camp No. 25: Ch'ŏngjin, North Hamgyong province.\n\nCamp closures\nNotable kwalliso closures are listed below:\n In 1989, Camp No. 11 in Kyŏngsŏng County, North Hamgyong Province was closed to convert the area into a villa for Kim Il Sung. Approximately 20,000 family prisoners were transferred to other political penal labor camps.\n Prison camp No. 12 in Onsŏng County, North Hamgyong Province was also closed in 1989 because the camp was deemed too close to the Chinese border. The prisoners were transferred to Camp No. 22.\n At the end of 1990, Camp No. 13 in Chongsŏng, also Onsŏng County, was closed. Approximately 20,000 prisoners were relocated after fears that the camp was located too close to the Chinese border.\n Camp No. 15 in Yodok County, South Hamgyong Province was closed in 2014 to create a model prison as part of a campaign to whitewash North Korea's human rights record.\n Camp No. 17 in Toksong County, South Hamgyong Province was closed in 1984, and approximately 30,000-40,000 prisoners were relocated to help develop a mine in Camp No. 18.\n Camp No. 19 in Tanchon, South Hamgyong Province was closed in 1990 to decrease the amount of political prison camps.\n Prison camp No. 22 in Hoeryong, North Hamgyong Province was closed in 2012 and approximately 3,000 remaining prisoners were relocated to Camp No. 16. The camp was closed after the warden running it and an officer defected.\n Camp No. 23 in Toksong, South Hamgyong Province was shut down in 1987 with all prisoners being released.\n Camp No. 24 in Tongsin, Chagang Province was closed in 1990.\n Camp No. 26 in Sŭngho's Hwachŏn-dong was closed in January 1991.\n Camp No. 27 at Ch'ŏnma, North Pyongan Province was closed in 1990 for unknown reasons.\n\nLegislative structure\n\nThe kwalliso are run by the State Security Department, North Korea's secret police agency and are therefore not specifically tied to the laws and courts of North Korea. However, each camp is expected to operate in strict accordance with state Juche ideology.\n\nOperating principles\nDetainees are regularly told that they are traitors to the nation who have betrayed their Leader and thus deserve execution, but whom the Workers' Party has decided, in its mercy, not to kill, but to keep alive in order to repay the nation for their treachery, through forced labor for the rest of their lives.\nThe emphasis of these camps is very much placed upon collective responsibility where individuals ultimately take responsibility for their own class's \"wrongdoing\". Kwalliso guards emphasize this point by reportedly carving excerpts from Kim Il Sung's speeches into wood signs and door entrances. \nWork teams are given stringent work quotas, and the failure to meet them means even further reduced food rations.\n\nWorking conditions\nBelow-subsistence level food rations coupled with hard, forced labor results in a high level of deaths in detention not only as a result of working to death but also by rife disease caused by poor hygiene conditions. Corn rations are the usual staple diet of any prisoner but these may be supplemented by other foods found during labor such as weeds and animals. Each five-person work group has an informant, as does every prison camp \"village\". Survivors and commentators have compared the conditions of these camps to those operated in Central and Eastern Europe by Nazi Germany during World War II in the Holocaust calling the DPRK's network of political prison camps the North Korean Holocaust. There have also been comparisons between the North Korean network of political prison camps to the penal labor colonies of the USSR under Joseph Stalin, with many Western media outlets describing \"Kwalliso\" as \"North Korea's Gulag\".\n\nInternment of prisoners\n\nDefector statements suggest prisoners come to the camps in two ways:\n Individuals are likely taken and escorted by the State Security Department, detained in small cells and subjected to intense and prolonged interrogation, involving beatings and severe torture, after which they are dispatched to one of the prison labor camps.\n Family members: The primary suspect in the family is firstly escorted to the prison camp, and the Bowibu officers later escort family members from their home to the encampment. Family members are usually allowed to bring their own goods with them into the camp; however, these are usually only used by prisoners as bribing commodities later on.\n\nEncampment outlay\n\nGuard towers and barbed wire fences usually demark camp boundaries apart from where terrain is impassable.\nPrisoners are housed within scattered villages usually at the base of valleys and mountains. Single inhabitants are sub grouped accordingly into an assigned communal cafeterias and dormitories and families are usually placed into shack rooms and are required to feed themselves.\n\nZoning of prison camps\nAreas of the encampments are zoned or designated accordingly for individuals or families of the wrong-doers or wrong-thinkers. Both individuals and families are further sub divided accordingly into either a \"revolutionary processing zone\" or \"total control zone\":\n The \"revolutionary processing zone\" () accommodates prisoners having the opportunity of future release from the camp back into society. Thus these prisoners are likely ideologically re-educated in so called \"revolutionizing\" areas of the camp – tasks include forced memorization of speeches by Kim Il Sung and Kim Jong Il with specific emphasis placed on re-education of children. A revolutionary processing zone is thought to be operating in Pukch'ang concentration camp and also at Yodŏk concentration camp in South Hamgyong Province.\n There is no reported re-education of prisoners in \"total control zones\" () presumably because these prisoners are not seen fit to be released and are deemed counter-revolutionary.\n\nAwareness\n\nAccording to North Korean defectors, ordinary North Korean citizens are aware that the camps exist, if not the exact locations. Political prisoners are referred to as the \"people who are sent to the mountains\".\n\nDemand for closure \nAmnesty International summarizes the human rights situation North Korea's kwalliso camps: \"Men, women and children in the camp face forced hard labor, inadequate food, beatings, totally inadequate medical care and unhygienic living conditions. Many fall ill while in prison, and a large number die in custody or soon after release.\" The organization demands the immediate closure of all other political prison camps in North Korea. The demand is supported by the International Coalition to Stop Crimes against Humanity in North Korea, a coalition of over 40 human rights organizations.\n\nSee also\n\n Human rights in North Korea\n Prisons in North Korea\n Forced labor in the Soviet Union\n Gulag\n Laogai\n Penal labor in the United States\n\nReferences\n\nFurther reading\n\nExternal links \nReport of the Commission of Inquiry on Human Rights in the Democratic People's Republic of Korea—detailed report, resources include maps and satellite photographs of camps\nAmnesty International: North Korea: Political Prison Camps - Document on conditions in North Korean prison camps\n – Comprehensive analysis of various aspects of life in political prison camps\nFreedom House: Concentrations of inhumanity – Analysis of the phenomena of repression associated with North Korea's political labor camps\nChristian Solidarity Worldwide: North Korea: A case to answer – a call to act – Report to emphasize the urgent need to respond to mass killings, arbitrary imprisonment, torture and related international crimes\n Washington Post: North Koreas Hard Labor Camps - Explore North Korean prison camps with interactive map\n \n\n \nPenal labour\nPenal system in North Korea",
"Gook is a 2017 American drama film written and directed by Justin Chon. It tells the story of two Korean-American brothers running their father's shoe store, and their unlikely friendship with a neighborhood 11-year-old black girl, during the first day of the 1992 Los Angeles riots. The film stars Justin Chon, Simone Baker, David So, Sang Chon (Justin Chon's father), Curtiss Cook Jr. and Ben Munoz. The film was released on August 18, 2017, by Samuel Goldwyn Films.\n\nPlot\n\nEli and Daniel are two Korean American brothers who own their late father's struggling shoe store in the predominantly African-American community of Paramount, California. They develop a unique and unlikely friendship with an 11-year-old African American girl, Kamilla. The three deal with hardships on a daily basis; Eli and Daniel face racism from African Americans and Hispanics, and Kamilla has a troubled family life after the death of her mother some years earlier. Kamilla is also constantly badgered by Mr. Kim, who owns a liquor store near Eli and Daniel's shoe store; this leads to Eli often intervening on Kamilla's behalf, straining the relationship between Mr. Kim and Eli. Mr. Kim speaks to Eli in Korean and Eli replies primarily in English, and occasionally in Korean. On April 29, 1992, the news of the day is focused on the pending Rodney King assault verdict. Kamilla ditches school and heads to the shoe store; Eli stresses about the store staying afloat, while Daniel tries to have a good time, often disregarding the customers while dreaming of becoming a recording artist.\n\nAs the day passes, the verdict from the trial is read on the news, acquitting the officers for the beating of King. Because of this, racial tensions build to a breaking point in L.A. as the 1992 Los Angeles riots break out in nearby South Central Los Angeles. Daniel and Eli get into an argument over Daniel granting excessive discounts to customers, and Daniel leaves the store to record a demo tape. On the way to the recording studio, Daniel is jumped by Kamilla's brother Keith and his friends, who take his money and necklace. They only stop assaulting Daniel when Keith receives a message on his pager saying \"free shit South Central\", alluding to the nearby riots. Daniel proceeds to record his demo tape but cannot pay the owner of the studio due to being robbed. The studio owner convinces him to pay his debt by assisting him in looting at the riots. While driving through the riot areas, Daniel is pulled out of a car by rioters and assaulted again. Mr. Kim later picks Daniel up in his van. Mr. Kim then discloses to Daniel that he served in the South Korean military with Eli and Daniel's father as part of the country's conscription law.\n\nAs day turns to night, Kamilla goes home, where Keith finds out she has been hanging out at the shoe store because of a pair of Air Jordan sneakers in her backpack that Eli gave to her earlier that day. After a heated argument, Keith flies into a rage, as their mother's death was somehow caused by the Korean family that owned the store. Keith plots to round up his crew to rob Eli and Daniel's store of their remaining sneakers. After he leaves, Kamilla takes his other gun and runs to warn Eli and Daniel about Keith's intentions. Eli is unable to start his car and attempts to fix it, eventually realizing that he is out of gas. Shortly thereafter Mr. Kim returns with Daniel; Daniel and Eli argue briefly before Eli begins to argue with Mr. Kim before Mr. Kim provides a cigarette as a peace offering. Kim then talks to Eli about when he and Eli's father started the shoe store, and how his father and Kamilla's mother died during a robbery at the store, and how their lives weren't what they wanted to give their kids. Eli and Daniel argue over whether to remove the shoes from the premises or to surrender the shoes to Keith and lose the store, which is already two months behind on rent. Eli decides to stay behind to try to move the shoes, while Daniel and Kamilla leave. With his car unable to start, Eli packs up as many shoes as he can carry, but upon leaving the store is robbed of the shoes at gunpoint by three Hispanic gang members, who had jumped him earlier that day.\n\nEli reunites with Daniel and Kamilla at a nearby restaurant. They encounter Jesus, a Hispanic man from their neighborhood who helps around the store, who gives Eli a gas can to fill up his car. Jesus also discloses to them that he put the Air Jordans on the store roof; the shoes Eli thought were robbed were in fact women's shoes in the Air Jordans boxes. Eli, Daniel, and Kamilla attempt to move the sneakers when Keith arrives, forcing them to hide on the roof. Eli decides to just throw the shoes they came to steal down to them, as he had decided to close the store and seek a new beginning. Keith is convinced by his friends to leave the shoe store but eventually returns and threatens to burn the store down with a gas can and Molotov cocktails. Kamilla, with Keith's other gun, runs out to fire a shot to keep them from burning down the store but trips as she exits and shoots herself. Keith's friends leave when they hear the shot, leaving Keith and Eli to take Kamilla to a nearby hospital. Keith has an emotional breakdown directed at Eli, then himself, and Eli stops him. Eli returns to the store in the morning and shakes his head, letting Daniel know that Kamilla passed away. Eli tells Daniel to grab the Molotov cocktails that Keith left behind. Eli burns the store down. The final shot is the same as the first; the spirit of Kamilla dancing to the burning shoe store.\n\nCast\n\nRelease\nThe film premiered at the 2017 Sundance Film Festival on January 21, 2017. On April 19, 2017, Samuel Goldwyn Films acquired distribution rights to the film.

"Raffaele Imperiale (born 24 October 1974) is an Italian criminal and a member of the Camorra. He is considered by the authorities as one of the most important drug traffickers affiliated with the Camorra. He was on the list of the most wanted fugitives in Italy until his arrest on 4 August 2021 in Dubai. In December 2022 it was noticed that Imperiale become a \"pentito\", starting crown witness procedure.\n\nBiography \nImperiale was born in Castellammare di Stabia, a seaside resort just south of Naples, Italy. His father was a wealthy and well-known businessman of Castellammare di Stabia, who owned the city's football team, S.S. Juve Stabia, and built many buildings around the region. In his childhood, Imperiale was the victim of an attempted kidnapping, but managed to escape and return home safely. It has always been a mystery how he managed to escape. He had an older brother who died in 1996 and bequeathed him the Rockland coffeeshop in Amsterdam from where Imperiale began his notorious criminal career. In his coffeeshop Imperiale sold soft drugs and was involved in large scale cocaine trafficking with the Dutch drug trader Rick van de Bunt. \n\nIn the 1990s he was introduced by Antonio Orefice, member of the Moccia clan, to Elio Amato, brother of Raffaele Amato, at the time one of the top drug traffickers of the Di Lauro clan. During those years Imperiale began to earn millions of euros, becoming the referent of the Di Lauro's organization who dealt directly with the drug trafficking cartels in Peru, Ecuador and Colombia. \n\nDuring the split of the Scissionisti di Secondigliano from the Di Lauro clan, Imperiale decided to ally with the Scissionisti, a position that he maintains to this day. In fact, during the Scampia feud, Imperiale supplied the Amato-Pagano clan with weapons. Yet, according to the pentito Antonio Leonardi, Imperiale was not a broker who acted independently, but, a full member of the Amato-Pagano. According to the authorities, while living in Dubai, Imperiale spent €400,000 a month to maintain his lavish lifestyle. In fact, after his arrest, it was revealed by the authorities that he had spent 7 million euros in just three months while on run, with the majority of expenses declared as \"personal expenses\".\n\nIn 2016, two stolen Van Gogh paintings from the Van Gogh Museum in Amsterdam in 2002, Congregation Leaving the Reformed Church in Nuenen and View of the Sea at Scheveningen, were recovered in a villa in Castellammare di Stabia, owned by him. \n\nDocuments sent by the United States Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) to the Dutch police exposed what would be a super drug cartel headed by Raffaele Imperiale, Ridouan Taghi (former Dutch most wanted criminal, now in jail), Daniel Kinahan (Irish reputed gang boss) and Edin Gačanin (Bosnian drug trafficker). The group was observed by the DEA having meetings in the Burj Al Arab hotel in Dubai, Imperiale's alleged operating base. The meetings took place in 2017, however, it only reached the Dutch media in October 2019. The DEA regards this as one of the world's fifty largest drug cartels, with a virtual monopoly on the Peruvian cocaine trade and would control around a third of the cocaine trade in Europe. Yet, according to the DEA documents, the destination for all the drugs shipments would be the Dutch ports.\n\nReferences \n\n1974 births\nCamorristi\nFugitives wanted by Italy\nFugitives wanted on organised crime charges\nLiving people\nScissionisti di Secondigliano\nItalian drug traffickers",

"Nathaniel Parker Willis (January 20, 1806 – January 20, 1867), also known as N. P. Willis, was an American author, poet and editor who worked with several notable American writers including Edgar Allan Poe and Henry Wadsworth Longfellow. He became the highest-paid magazine writer of his day. His brother was the composer Richard Storrs Willis and his sister Sara wrote under the name Fanny Fern. Harriet Jacobs wrote her autobiography while being employed as his children's nurse.\n\nBorn in Portland, Maine, Willis came from a family of publishers. His grandfather Nathaniel Willis owned newspapers in Massachusetts and Virginia, and his father Nathaniel Willis was the founder of Youth's Companion, the first newspaper specifically for children. Willis developed an interest in literature while attending Yale College and began publishing poetry. After graduation, he worked as an overseas correspondent for the New York Mirror. He eventually moved to New York and began to build his literary reputation. Working with multiple publications, he was earning about $100 per article and between $5,000 and $10,000 per year. In 1846, he started his own publication, the Home Journal, which was eventually renamed Town & Country. Shortly after, Willis moved to a home on the Hudson River where he lived a semi-retired life until his death in 1867.\n\nWillis embedded his own personality into his writing and addressed his readers personally, specifically in his travel writings, so that his reputation was built in part because of his character. Critics, including his sister in her novel Ruth Hall, occasionally described him as being effeminate and Europeanized. Willis also published several poems, tales, and a play. Despite his intense popularity for a time, at his death Willis was nearly forgotten.\n\nLife and career\n\nEarly life and family\nNathaniel Parker Willis was born on January 20, 1806, in Portland, Maine. His father Nathaniel Willis was a newspaper proprietor there and his grandfather owned newspapers in Boston, Massachusetts and western Virginia. His mother was Hannah Willis (née Parker) from Holliston, Massachusetts and it was her husband's offer to edit the Eastern Argus in Maine that caused their move to Portland. Willis's younger sister was Sara Willis Parton, who would later become a writer under the pseudonym Fanny Fern. His brother, Richard Storrs Willis, became a musician and music journalist known for writing the melody for \"It Came Upon the Midnight Clear\". His other siblings were Lucy Douglas (born 1804), Louisa Harris (1807), Julia Dean (1809), Mary Perry (1813), Edward Payson (1816), and Ellen Holmes (1821).\n\nIn 1816, the family moved to Boston, where Willis's father established the Boston Recorder and, nine years later, the Youth's Companion, the world's first newspaper for children. The elder Willis's emphasis on religious themes earned him the nickname \"Deacon\" Willis. After attending a Boston grammar school and Phillips Academy at Andover, Nathaniel Parker Willis entered Yale College in October 1823 where he roomed with Horace Bushnell. Willis credited Bushnell with teaching him the proper technique for sharpening a razor by \"drawing it from heel to point both ways ... the two cross frictions correct each other\". At Yale, he further developed an interest in literature, often neglecting his other studies. He graduated in 1827 and spent time touring parts of the United States and Canada. In Montreal, he met Chester Harding, with whom he would become a lifelong friend. Years later, Harding referred to Willis during this period as \"the 'lion' of the town\". Willis began publishing poetry in his father's Boston Periodical, often using one of two literary personalities under the pen names \"Roy\" (for religious subjects) and \"Cassius\" (for more secular topics). The same year, Willis published a volume of poetical Sketches.\n\nLiterary career\nIn the latter part of the 1820s, Willis began contributing more frequently to magazines and periodicals. In 1829, he served as editor for the gift book The Token, making him the only person to be editor in the book's 15-year history besides its founder, Samuel Griswold Goodrich. That year, Willis founded the American Monthly Magazine, which began publishing in April 1829 until it was discontinued in August 1831. He blamed its failure on the \"tight purses of Boston culture\" and moved to Europe to serve as foreign editor and correspondent of the New York Mirror. In 1832, while in Florence, Italy, he met Horatio Greenough, who sculpted a bust of the writer. Between 1832 and 1836, Willis contributed a series of letters for the Mirror, about half of which were later collected as Pencillings by the Way, printed in London in 1835. The romantic descriptions of scenes and modes of life in Europe sold well despite the then high price tag of $7 a copy. The work became popular and boosted Willis's literary reputation enough that an American edition was soon issued.\n\nDespite this popularity, he was censured by some critics for indiscretion in reporting private conversations. At one point he fought a bloodless duel with Captain Frederick Marryat, then editor of the Metropolitan Magazine, after Willis sent a private letter of Marryat's to George Pope Morris, who had it printed. Still, in 1835 Willis was popular enough to introduce Henry Wadsworth Longfellow to important literary figures in England, including Ada Byron, daughter of Lord Byron.\n\nWhile abroad, Willis wrote to a friend, \"I should like to marry in England\". He soon married Mary Stace, daughter of General William Stace of Woolwich, on October 1, 1835, after a month-long engagement. The couple took a two-week honeymoon in Paris. The couple moved to London where, in 1836, Willis met Charles Dickens, who was working for the Morning Chronicle at the time.\n\nIn 1837, Willis and his wife returned to the United States and settled at a small estate on Owego Creek in New York, just above its junction with the Susquehanna River. He named the home Glenmary and the rural setting inspired him to write Letters from under a Bridge. On October 20, 1838, Willis began a series of articles called \"A New Series of Letters from London\", one of which suggested an illicit relationship between writer Letitia Elizabeth Landon and editor William Jordan. The article caused some scandal, for which Willis's publisher had to apologize.\n\nOn June 20, 1839, Willis's play Tortesa, the Usurer premiered in Philadelphia at the Walnut Street Theatre. Edgar Allan Poe called it \"by far the best play from the pen of an American author\". That year, he was also editor of the short-lived periodical The Corsair, for which he enlisted William Makepeace Thackeray to write short sketches of France. Another major work, Two Ways of Dying for a Husband, was published in England during a short visit there in 1839–1840. Shortly after returning to the United States, his personal life was touched with grief when his first child was stillborn on December 4, 1840. He and Stace had a second daughter, Imogen, who was born June 20, 1842.\n\nLater that year, Willis attended a ball in honor of Charles Dickens in New York. After dancing with Dickens's wife, Willis and Dickens went out for \"rum toddy and broiled oysters\". By this time, his fame had grown enough that he was often invited to lecture and recite poetry, including his presentation to the Linonian Society at Yale on August 17, 1841. Willis was invited to submit a column to the each weekly issue of Brother Jonathan, a publication from New York with 20,000 subscribers, which he did until September 1841. By 1842, Willis was earning the unusually high salary of $4,800 a year. As a later journalist remarked, this made Willis \"the first magazine writer who was tolerably well paid\".\n\nEvening Mirror\n\nReturning to New York City, Willis reorganized, along with George Pope Morris, the weekly New York Mirror as the daily Evening Mirror in 1844 with a weekly supplement called the Weekly Mirror, in part due to the rising cost of postage. By this time, Willis was a popular writer (a joke was that Johann Wolfgang von Goethe was Germany's version of N. P. Willis) and one of the first commercially successful magazine writers in America. In the fall of that year, he also became the first editor of the annual gift book The Opal founded by Rufus Wilmot Griswold. During this time, he became the highest-paid magazine writer in America, earning about $100 per article and $5,000 per year, a number which would soon double. Even the popular poet Longfellow admitted his jealousy of Willis's salary.\n\nAs a critic, Willis did not believe in including discussions of personalities of writers when reviewing their works. He also believed that, though publications should discuss political topics, they should not express party opinions or choose sides. The Mirror flourished at a time when many publications were discontinuing. Its success was due to the shrewd management of Willis and Morris and the two demonstrated that the American public could support literary endeavors. Willis was becoming an expert in American literature and so, in 1845, Willis and Morris issued an anthology, The Prose and Poetry of America.\n\nWhile Willis was editor of the Evening Mirror, its issue for January 29, 1845, included the first printing of Poe's poem \"The Raven\" with his name attached. In his introduction, Willis called it \"unsurpassed in English poetry for subtle conception, masterly ingenuity of versification, and consistent, sustaining of imaginative lift ... It will stick to the memory of everybody who reads it\". Willis and Poe were close friends, and Willis helped Poe financially during his wife Virginia's illness and while Poe was suing Thomas Dunn English for libel. Willis often tried to persuade Poe to be less destructive in his criticism and concentrate on his poetry. Even so, Willis published many pieces of what would later be referred to as \"The Longfellow War\", a literary battle between Poe and the supporters of Henry Wadsworth Longfellow, whom Poe called overrated and guilty of plagiarism. Willis also introduced Poe to Fanny Osgood; the two would later carry out a very public literary flirtation.\n\nWillis's wife Mary Stace died in childbirth on March 25, 1845. Their daughter, Blanche, died as well and Willis wrote in his notebook that she was \"an angel without fault or foible\". He took his surviving daughter Imogen to England to visit her mother's family. In October 1846, he married Cornelia Grinnell, a wealthy Quaker from New Bedford and the adopted daughter of a local Congressman. She was two decades younger than Willis at the time and vocally disliked slavery, unlike her new husband.\n\nHome Journal\nIn 1846, Willis and Morris left the Evening Mirror and attempted to edit a new weekly, the National Press, which was renamed the Home Journal after eight months. Their prospectus for the publication, published November 21, 1846, announced their intentions to create a magazine \"to circle around the family table\". Willis intended the magazine for the middle and lower classes and included the message of upward social mobility, using himself as an example, often describing in detail his personal possessions. When discussing his own social climbing, however, he emphasized his frustrations rather than his successes, endearing him to his audience. He edited the Home Journal until his death in 1867. It was renamed Town & Country in 1901, and it is still published under that title as of 2020. During Willis's time at the journal, he especially promoted the works of women poets, including Frances Sargent Osgood, Anne Lynch Botta, Grace Greenwood, and Julia Ward Howe. Willis and his editors favorably reviewed many works now considered important today, including Henry David Thoreau's Walden and Nathaniel Hawthorne's The Blithedale Romance.\n\nIdlewild\n\nIn 1846, Willis settled near the banks of Canterbury Creek near the Hudson River in New York and named his new home Idlewild. When Willis first visited the property, the owners said it had little value and that it was \"an idle wild of which nothing could ever be made\". He built a fourteen-room \"cottage\", as he called it, at the edge of a plateau by Moodna Creek next to a sudden drop into a gorge. Willis worked closely with the architect, Calvert Vaux, to carefully plan each gable and piazza to fully take advantage of the dramatic view of the river and mountains. \n\nBecause of failing health Willis spent the remainder of his life chiefly in retirement at Idlewild. His wife Cornelia was also recovering from a difficult illness after the birth of their first child together, a son named Grinnell, who was born April 28, 1848. They had four other children: Lilian (born April 27, 1850), Edith (born September 28, 1853), Bailey (born May 31, 1857), and a daughter who died only a few minutes after her birth on October 31, 1860.\n\nIn 1850, Cornelia Willis re-hired Harriet Jacobs, a fugitive slave from North Carolina, who had already before been working for the family as Imogen's nanny. When her legal owners came to New York in 1852 to force her back into slavery, Cornelia Willis bought her freedom for $300. While working for the Willis family at Idlewild, Jacobs wrote her autobiography, published in 1861. Her biographer, J.F.Yellin, comments on the irony of the situation: \"Idlewild had been conceived as a famous writer's retreat, but its owner never imagined that it was his children's nurse who would create an American classic there\". Jacobs stayed with the Willis family until after the publication of her book. Cornelia Willis is called a \"true ... friend\" in the autobiography, and the friendship lasted into the next generation, ending only with the death of Louisa Jacobs at the home of Edith Willis Grinnell in 1917.\n\nDuring these last years at Idlewild, Willis continued contributing a weekly letter to the Home Journal. In 1850 he assisted Rufus Wilmot Griswold in preparing an anthology of the works of Poe, who had died mysteriously the year before. Griswold also wrote the first biography of Poe in which he purposely set out to ruin the dead author's reputation. Willis was one of the most vocal of Poe's defenders, writing at one point: \"The indictment (for it deserves no other name) is not true. It is full of cruel misrepresentations. It deepens the shadows unto unnatural darkness, and shuts out the rays of sunshines that ought to relieve them\".\n\nWillis was involved in the 1850 divorce suit between the actor Edwin Forrest and his wife Catherine Norton Sinclair Forrest. In January 1849, Forrest had found a love letter to his wife from fellow actor George W. Jamieson. As a result, he and Catherine separated in April 1849. He moved to Philadelphia and filed for divorce in February 1850 though the Pennsylvania legislature denied his application. Catharine went to live with the family of Parke Godwin and the separation became a public affair, with newspapers throughout New York reporting on supposed infidelities and other gossip.\n\nWillis defended Catharine, who maintained her innocence, in the Home Journal and suggested that Forrest was merely jealous of her intellectual superiority. On June 17, 1850, shortly after Forrest had filed for divorce in the New York Supreme Court, Forrest beat Willis with a gutta-percha whip in New York's Washington Square, shouting \"this man is the seducer of my wife\". Willis, who was recovering from a rheumatic fever at the time, was unable to fight back. His wife soon received an anonymous letter with an accusation that Willis was in an adulterous relationship with Catherine Forrest. Willis later sued Forrest for assault and, by March 1852, was awarded $2,500 plus court costs. Throughout the Forrest divorce case, which lasted six weeks, several witnesses made additional claims that Catherine Forrest and Nathaniel Parker Willis were having an affair, including a waiter who claimed he had seen the couple \"lying on each other\". As the press reported, \"thousands and thousands of the anxious public\" awaited the court's verdict; ultimately, the court sided with Catherine Forrest and Willis's name was cleared.\n\nRuth Hall\nWillis arbitrarily refused to print the work of his sister Sara Willis (\"Fanny Fern\") after 1854, though she previously had contributed anonymous book reviews to the Home Journal. She had recently been widowed, became destitute, and was publicly denounced by her abusive second husband. Criticizing what he perceived as her restlessness, Willis once made her the subject of his poem \"To My Wild Sis\". As Fanny Fern, she had published Fern Leaves, which sold over 100,000 copies the year before. Willis, however, did not encourage his sister's writings. \"You overstrain the pathetic, and your humor runs into dreadful vulgarity sometimes ... I am sorry that any editor knows that a sister of mine wrote some of these which you sent me\", he wrote. In 1854 she published Ruth Hall, a Domestic Tale of the Present Time, a barely concealed semi-autobiographical account of her own difficulties in the literary world. Nathaniel Willis was represented as \"Hyacinth Ellet\", an effeminate, self-serving editor who schemes to ruin his sister's prospects as a writer. Willis did not publicly protest but in private he asserted that, despite his fictitious equivalent, he had done his best to support his sister during her difficult times, especially after the death of her first husband.\n\nAmong his later works, following in his traditional sketches about his life and people he has met, were Hurry-Graphs (1851), Out-Doors at Idlewild (1854), and Ragbag (1855). Willis had complained that his magazine writing prevented him from writing a longer work. He finally had the time in 1856, and he wrote his only novel, Paul Fane, which was published a year later. The character Bosh Blivins, who served as comic relief in the novel, may have been based on painter Chester Harding. His final work was The Convalescent (1859), which included a chapter on his time spent with Washington Irving at Sunnyside.\n\nFinal years and death\n\nIn July 1860, Willis took his last major trip. Along with his wife, he stopped in Chicago and Yellow Springs, Ohio, as far west as Madison, Wisconsin, and also took a steamboat down the Mississippi River to St. Louis, Missouri, and returned through Cincinnati, Ohio and Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. In 1861, Willis allowed the Home Journal to break its pledge to avoid taking sides in political discussions when the Confederate States of America was established, calling the move a purposeful act to bring on war. On May 28, 1861, Willis was part of a committee of literary figures—including William Cullen Bryant, Charles Anderson Dana, and Horace Greeley—to invite Edward Everett to speak in New York on behalf of maintaining the Union. The Home Journal lost many subscribers during the American Civil War, Morris died in 1864, and the Willis family had to take in boarders and for a time turned Idlewild into a girls' school for income.\n\nWillis was very sick in these final years: he suffered from violent epileptic seizures and, early in November 1866, fainted in the streets. Willis died on his 61st birthday, January 20, 1867, and was buried in Mount Auburn Cemetery in Cambridge, Massachusetts. Four days later, the day of his funeral, all bookstores in the city were closed as a token of respect. His pallbearers included Longfellow, James Russell Lowell, Oliver Wendell Holmes, Samuel Gridley Howe, and James T. Fields.\n\nReputation\n\nThroughout his literary career, Willis was well liked and known for his good nature amongst friends. Well traveled and clever, he had a striking appearance at six feet tall and was typically dressed elegantly. Many, however, remarked that Willis was effeminate, Europeanized, and guilty of \"Miss Nancyism\". One editor called him \"an impersonal passive verb—a pronoun of the feminine gender\". A contemporary caricature depicted him wearing a fashionable beaver hat and tightly closed coat and carrying a cane, reflecting Willis's wide reputation as a \"dandy\". Willis put considerable effort into his appearance and his fashion sense, presenting himself as a member of an upcoming American aristocracy. As Oliver Wendell Holmes Sr. once said, Willis was \"something between a remembrance of Count D'Orsay and an anticipation of Oscar Wilde\". Publisher Charles Frederick Briggs once wrote that \"Willis was too Willisy\". He described his writings as the \"novelty and gossip of the hour\" and was not necessarily concerned about facts but with the \"material of conversation and speculation, which may be mere rumor, may be the truth\". Willis's behavior in social groups annoyed fellow poet Henry Wadsworth Longfellow. \"He is too artificial\", Longfellow wrote to his friend George Washington Greene. \"And his poetry has now lost one of its greatest charms for me—its sincerity\". E. Burke Fisher, a journalist in Pittsburgh, wrote that \"Willis is a kind of national pet and we must regard his faults as we do those of a spoiled stripling, in the hope that he will amend\".\n\nWillis built up his reputation in the public at a time when readers were interested in the personal lives of writers. In his writings, he described the \"high life\" of the \"Upper Ten Thousand\", a phrase he coined. His travel writings in particular were popular for this reason as Willis was actually living the life he was describing and recommending to readers. Even so, he manufactured a humble and modest persona, questioned his own literary merit, and purposely used titles, such as Pencillings by the Way and Dashes at Life With Free Pencil, which downplayed their own quality. His informally toned editorials, which covered a variety of topics, were also very successful. Using whimsicality and humor, he was purposely informal to allow his personality to show in his writing. He addressed his readers personally, as if having a private conversation with them. As he once wrote: \"We would have you ... indulge us in our innocent egotism as if it were all whispered in your private ear and over our iced Margaux\". When women poets were becoming popular in the 1850s, he emulated their style and focused on sentimental and moral subjects.\n\nIn the publishing world, Willis was known as a shrewd magazinist and an innovator who focused on appealing to readers' special interests while still recognizing new talent. In fact, Willis became the standard by which other magazinists were judged. According to writer George William Curtis, \"His gayety [sic] and his graceful fluency made him the first of our proper 'magazinists'\". For a time, it was said that Willis was the \"most-talked-about author\" in the United States. Poe questioned Willis's fame, however. \"Willis is no genius–a graceful trifler–no more\", he wrote in a letter to James Russell Lowell. \"In me, at least, he never excites an emotion.\" Minor Southern writer Joseph Beckham Cobb wrote: \"No sane person, we are persuaded, can read his poetry\". Future senator Charles Sumner reported: \"I find Willis is much laughed at for his sketches\". Even so, most contemporaries recognized how prolific he was as a writer and how much time he put into all of his writings. James Parton said of him:\n\nBy 1850 and with the publication of Hurry-Graphs, Willis was becoming a forgotten celebrity. In August 1853, future President James A. Garfield discussed Willis's declining popularity in his diary: \"Willis is said to be a licentious man, although an unrivaled poet. How strange that such men should go to ruin, when they might soar perpetually in the heaven of heavens\". After Willis's death, obituaries reported that he had outlived his fame. One remarked, \"the man who withdraws from the whirling currents of active life is speedily forgotten\". This obituary also stated that Americans \"will ever remember and cherish Nathaniel P. Willis as one worthy to stand with Fenimore Cooper and Washington Irving\". In 1946, the centennial issue of Town & Country reported that Willis \"led a generation of Americans through a gate where weeds gave way to horticulture\". More modern scholars have dismissed Willis's work as \"sentimental prattle\" or refer to him only as an obstacle in the progress of his sister as well as Harriet Jacobs. As biographer Thomas N. Baker wrote, Willis is today only referred to as a footnote in relation to other authors.\n\nSelected list of works\nProse\nSketches (1827)\nPencillings by the Way (1835)\nInklings of Adventure (1836)\nÀ l'Abri; or, The Tent Pitched (1839)\nLoiterings of Travel (1840)\nThe Romance of Travel (1840)\nAmerican Scenery (2 volumes 1840)\nCanadian Scenery (2 volumes 1842)\nDashes at Life with a Free Pencil (1845)\nRural Letters and Other Records of Thoughts at Leisure (1849)\nPeople I Have Met (1850)\nLife Here and There (1850)\nHurry-Graphs (1851)\nSummer Cruise in the Mediterranean (1853)\nFun-Jottings; or, Laughs I Have Taken a Pen to (1853)\nHealth Trip to the Tropics (1854)\nEphemera (1854)\nFamous Persons and Places (1854)\nOut-Doors at Idlewild; or, The Shaping of a Home on the Banks of the Hudson (1855)\nThe Rag Bag.

"The works of American author Edgar Allan Poe (January 19, 1809 – October 7, 1849) include many poems, short stories, and one novel. His fiction spans multiple genres, including horror fiction, adventure, science fiction, and detective fiction, a genre he is credited with inventing. These works are generally considered part of the Dark romanticism movement, a literary reaction to Transcendentalism. Poe's writing reflects his literary theories: he disagreed with didacticism and allegory. Meaning in literature, he said in his criticism, should be an undercurrent just beneath the surface; works whose meanings are too obvious cease to be art. Poe pursued originality in his works, and disliked proverbs. He often included elements of popular pseudosciences such as phrenology and physiognomy. His most recurring themes deal with questions of death, including its physical signs, the effects of decomposition, concerns of premature burial, the reanimation of the dead, and mourning. Though known as a masterly practitioner of Gothic fiction, Poe did not invent the genre; he was following a long-standing popular tradition.\n\nPoe's literary career began in 1827 with the release of 50 copies of Tamerlane and Other Poems credited only to \"a Bostonian\", a collection of early poems that received virtually no attention. In December 1829, Poe released Al Aaraaf, Tamerlane, and Minor Poems in Baltimore before delving into short stories for the first time with \"Metzengerstein\" in 1832. His most successful and most widely read prose during his lifetime was \"The Gold-Bug\", which earned him a $100 prize, the most money he received for a single work. One of his most important works, \"The Murders in the Rue Morgue\", was published in 1841 and is today considered the first modern detective story. Poe called it a \"tale of ratiocination\". Poe became a household name with the publication of \"The Raven\" in 1845, though it was not a financial success.

He returned to Broadway in 1951 until 1952, as the Earl of Warwick in George Bernard Shaw's play Saint Joan, with Uta Hagen in the lead role.\n\nHis first film role followed in 1937, as the poet Robert Burns in Auld Lang Syne. Subsequently, however, he would be typecast into portrayals of formal authority figures, such as judges and doctors.\n\nHe appeared in many television plays and series, amongst them A. J. Cronin's Dr. Finlay's Casebook, containing his most famous characterisation, Doctor Angus Cameron, a crusty but erudite senior partner in the rural general practice run in Tannochbrae, with the help of the much younger Doctor Alan Finlay (Bill Simpson) and \"stiff Presbyterian\" housekeeper Janet (Barbara Mullen). The highly popular BBC production ran from 16 August 1962 until 3 January 1971, after which Cruickshank continued with it on BBC Radio 4 for seven years, it having been adapted to that format since 10 March 1970. He finally bade farewell to the character on 18 December 1978, following its parting episode, \"Going Home\". In 1963 he played the title role in the BBC sitcom Mr Justice Duncannon, having appeared as that character in the final episode of the 1962 sitcom Brothers in Law.\n\nHis final performance on the stage was as Justice Treadwell in Beyond Reasonable Doubt at the Queen's Theatre in 1987. His last appearance of any kind was at the age of 80, in the first episode (\"Kicks\") of series two of the ITV television production, King and Castle, which starred Nigel Planer and Derek Martin as partners in a debt collection agency, and in which Cruickshank played \"Mr Hodinett\". It was aired on 10 May 1988, just over a week after his death.\n\nHe was chair of the board of directors of Edinburgh Festival Fringe between 1970 and 1983.\n\nHe married Curigwen (née Lewis), and they had one son and two daughters.\n\nMemorial\nHe has been immortalised in Milton Keynes, Buckinghamshire, by the naming of a road in his honour (Cruickshank Grove).\n\nPartial filmography\n\n Auld Lang Syne (1937) – Robert Burns\n The Mark of Cain (1947) – Sir Jonathon Dockwra\n The Idol of Paris (1948) – Prince Nicholas\n Forbidden (1949) – Inspector Baxter\n Paper Orchid (1949) – Inspector Clement Pill\n Your Witness (1950) – Sir Adrian Horth K.C. – Prosecutor\n The Angel with the Trumpet (1950) – Otto Alt\n The Reluctant Widow (1950) – Lord Bedlington\n Where No Vultures Fly (1951) – Governor (uncredited)\n The Cruel Sea (1953) – Scott Brown\n John Wesley (1954) – Trustee of Georgia\n John and Julie (1955) – Uncle Ben\n Richard III (1955) – Brackenbury\n The Secret Tent (1956) – Detective Inspector Thornton\n The Battle of the River Plate (1956) – Captain Stubbs – 'Doric Star'\n The Story of Esther Costello (1957) – Dr. Stein\n Innocent Sinners (1958) – Dr. Lynch-Cliffe\n A Question of Adultery (1958) – Dr. Cameron\n Kidnapped (1959) – Colin Campbell\n The 39 Steps (1959) – Sheriff\n The Stranglers of Bombay (1960) – Colonel Henderson\n There Was a Crooked Man (1960) – McKillup\n Greyfriars Bobby: The True Story of a Dog (1961) – Lord Provost\n El Cid (1961) – Count Gormaz\n Live Now, Pay Later (1962) – Vicar\n We Joined the Navy (1962) – Admiral Filmer\n Come Fly with Me (1963) – Cardwell\n Murder Most Foul (1964) – Justice Crosby\n Alibi For A Judge (1960) - Mr Justice Gerald Carstairs\n Wagner (1983) – Narrator\n The Body in the Library (1984) – Conway Jefferson\n\nPublications\n Andrew Cruickshank: An Autobiography (1988) Weidenfeld & Nicolson, London.\n\nReferences\n\nExternal links\n\nMemories of Andrew Cruickshank by Haldane Duncan, former Emmerdale director\n\nScottish male film actors\nMale actors from Aberdeen\n1907 births\n1988 deaths\nScottish male television actors\nPeople educated at Aberdeen Grammar School\n20th-century Scottish male actors\nEdinburgh Festival Fringe staff\nMembers of the Order of the British Empire\nRoyal Welch Fusiliers officers\nBritish Army personnel of World War II",

"Charles Arthur Floyd (February 3, 1904 – October 22, 1934), nicknamed Pretty Boy Floyd, was an American bank robber. He operated in the West and Central states, and his criminal exploits gained widespread press coverage in the 1930s. He was seen positively by the public because it was believed that during robberies he burned mortgage documents, freeing many people from their debts. He was pursued and killed by a group of Bureau of Investigation (BOI, later renamed to FBI) agents led by Melvin Purvis. Historians have speculated as to which officers were at the event, but accounts document that local officers Robert \"Pete\" Pyle and George Curran were present at his fatal shooting and also at his embalming. Floyd has continued to be a familiar figure in American popular culture, sometimes seen as notorious, other times portrayed as a tragic figure, even a victim of the hard times of the Great Depression in the United States.\n\nEarly life\nFloyd was born in Bartow County, Georgia, in 1904. His family moved to Akins, Oklahoma, in 1911, and he grew up there. He was arrested at age 18 after he stole $3.50 (Adjusted for inflation would be $50 in 2023) from a local post office. Three years later, he was arrested for a payroll robbery on September 16, 1925, in St. Louis, Missouri, and was sentenced to five years in prison. He served three and a half years before being granted parole.\n\nFloyd entered into partnerships with criminals in the Kansas City underworld after his parole. He committed a series of bank robberies over the next several years, and it was during this period that he acquired the nickname \"Pretty Boy,\" although accounts differ. In one account Orville Drake gave him the name because he would wear a white button-up dress shirt and slacks to work in the oil fields. The men on the rig began calling him \"Pretty Boy\" which was later turned into \"Pretty Boy Floyd\". In another account, the payroll master in the 1925 St. Louis Kroger office holdup described one of the robbers as \"a pretty boy with apple cheeks\". Floyd despised the nickname.\n\nIn 1929, Floyd was wanted in numerous cases. On March 9, he was arrested in Kansas City on investigation, and again on May 7 for vagrancy and suspicion of highway robbery, but he was released the next day. Two days later, he was arrested in Pueblo, Colorado, and charged with vagrancy. He was fined $50.00 and sentenced to 60 days in jail.\n\nFloyd was arrested in Akron, Ohio, on March 8, 1930, under the alias Frank Mitchell and charged with the murder of an Akron police officer who had been killed during a robbery that evening. He was arrested in Toledo, Ohio, for bank robbery and murder on May 20. He was convicted of a Sylvania, Ohio, bank robbery and sentenced on November 24, 1930, to 12 to 15 years in Ohio State penitentiary, but he escaped.\n\nFloyd was a suspect in the deaths of Kansas City brothers Wally and Boll Ash, who were rum-runners found dead in a burning car on March 25, 1931. Members of his gang killed Patrolman R. H. Castner of Bowling Green, Ohio, on April 23. On July 22, Floyd killed federal agent Curtis C. Burke in Kansas City, Missouri.\n\nFormer sheriff Erv Kelley of McIntosh County, Oklahoma, was shot by Floyd while trying to arrest him on April 7, 1932. In November, three members of Floyd's gang attempted to rob the Farmers and Merchants Bank in Boley, Oklahoma. \n\nDespite his life of crime, Floyd was viewed positively by the general public. When he robbed banks, he allegedly destroyed mortgage documents, but this has never been confirmed and may be myth. He was often protected by locals of Oklahoma who referred to him as \"Robin Hood of the Cookson Hills\".\n\nKansas City massacre\nFloyd and Adam Richetti became the primary suspects in a gunfight known as the \"Kansas City massacre\" on June 17, 1933, which resulted in the deaths of four law enforcement officers. J. Edgar Hoover leveraged the incident to seek more authority to pursue Floyd, although historians are divided as to whether Floyd was involved. The gunfight was an attack by Vernon Miller and accomplices on lawmen escorting robber Frank \"Jelly\" Nash to a car parked at the Union Station in Kansas City, Missouri. Kansas City detectives William Grooms and Frank Hermanson, Oklahoma police chief Otto Reed, and special agent Ray Caffrey were killed. Nash was also killed while sitting in the car, shot in the head by his would-be rescuers. Two other Kansas City police officers survived by slumping forward in the back seat and feigning death. As the gunmen inspected the car, another officer responded from the station and fired at them, forcing them to flee. Miller was found dead on November 27, 1933, outside Detroit, Michigan, having been beaten and strangled.\n\nFloyd and Richetti were allegedly Miller's accomplices. Evidence against them included their presence in Kansas City at the time, eyewitness identifications (although these have been contested), Richetti's fingerprint recovered from a beer bottle at Miller's hideout, an underworld account naming Floyd and Richetti as the gunmen, and Hoover's firm advocacy of their guilt. Fellow bank robber Alvin Karpis claimed that Floyd confessed involvement. However the bandit alleged to have been Floyd was reported to have been wounded by a gunshot to the shoulder in the attack, and Floyd's body showed no sign of this injury when examined later. The underworld account identifying Floyd and Richetti as the killers was offset by equally unreliable underworld accounts proclaiming their innocence. The Floyd family has maintained that Floyd admitted to many other crimes, but vehemently denied involvement in this one, as did Richetti.\n\nKansas City police received a postcard dated June 30, 1933, from Springfield, Missouri, that read: \"Dear Sirs - I - Charles Floyd - want it made known that I did not participate in the massacre of officers at Kansas City. Charles Floyd\". The police department believed the note to be genuine. Floyd also reportedly denied involvement in the massacre to the agents who had fatally wounded him. In addition, a 2002 book on the massacre attributes at least some of the killing to friendly fire by a lawman who was unfamiliar with his weapon, based on ballistic tests.\n\nDeath\nThe BOI named Floyd \"Public Enemy No. 1\" on July 23, 1934, following the death of John Dillinger. Local police and BOI agents led by Melvin Purvis shot Floyd on October 22, 1934, in a corn field in East Liverpool, Ohio. Accounts differ on who shot him and the manner in which he was killed. \n\nFloyd and Richetti had left Buffalo, New York, on October 18, and their vehicle slid into a telephone pole in heavy fog. No one was injured, but the car was disabled, so they sent two female companions to get a tow truck. They planned to have the women accompany the tow truck driver into town and have the vehicle repaired while they waited by the roadside.\n\nAfter dawn on October 19, motorist Joe Fryman and his son-in-law David O'Hanlon passed by, observing two men dressed in suits lying by the roadside. They thought it suspicious and informed Wellsville, Ohio, police chief John H. Fultz. Fultz investigated with officers Grover Potts and William Erwin. Richetti saw the lawmen and fled into the woods, pursued by two officers, while Fultz went towards Floyd. Floyd immediately drew his gun and fired. During the ensuing gunfight, Fultz was wounded in the foot and Potts was wounded in the right shoulder. Floyd fled into the forest. After enlisting the help of another local police officer, Chester C. Smith (February 14, 1895 – October 23, 1984), who had served as a sniper during World War I, the group of lawmen resumed the pursuit and successfully apprehended Richetti, but Floyd remained on the run. News of the search quickly spread. Local police in the surrounding areas were mobilized, and a team of BOI agents was quickly dispatched.\n\nOn October 22, Floyd was able to hitch a ride to East Liverpool, Ohio, where he obtained food at a pool hall owned by his friend Charles Joy. Differing accounts of the events that followed were given by responding BOI agents, local law enforcement officers, and nearby civilians. All agree that Floyd was confronted by a group of lawmen soon after leaving the pool hall, and attempted to flee on foot. Soon after he was shot and wounded by pursuing officers, who then arrested Floyd and formally placed him in federal custody. Accounts differ about which officers fired at Floyd, how many times they fired, and in what sequence. \n\nAccording to the BOI, their agents alone participated in the final confrontation with Floyd, and local law enforcement arrived later. \nBOI accounts state that four of their agents, Samuel K. McKee, Jr., David E. Hall, and Winfred E. Hopton led by Purvis, and four members of the East Liverpool Police Department, Herman H. Roth, Jr., Chester C. Smith, and Glenn G. Montgomery, led by Chief Hugh J. McDermott, were searching the area south of Clarkson, Ohio, in two cars. They saw a car move from behind a corn crib and then move back. Floyd then emerged from the car and drew a .45 caliber pistol, and the BOI agents opened fire. Floyd reportedly said, \"I'm done for. You've hit me twice.\" \n\nHowever, a news report from the time states that Floyd crawled out of the corncrib toward the Dyke automobile, then changed direction toward a wooded ridge. Purvis yelled “Halt!” but Floyd ran. Purvis called out “Fire!” and Floyd was mortally wounded by four bullets. Handcuffs were placed on his wrists. Floyd asked, “Who the hell tipped you?” Floyd refused to answer Purvis's questions about the Kansas City Massacre, but did say, “I am Floyd…where is Eddie?” referring to Adam Richetti. Thinking he had been shot twice, he remarked, “You got me twice.” Purvis did not disclose Floyd's last words. Allegedly four days before, Floyd and two accomplices had robbed a bank of $500. Floyd’s share of his last bank robbery was $120. Among Floyd's effects found on him was a watch and a fob. Each had ten notches, allegedly for ten persons Floyd had killed.\n\nRetired East Liverpool police captain Chester Smith described events differently in a 1979 issue of Time magazine. He was credited with shooting Floyd first, and he stated that he had deliberately wounded Floyd but not killed him. \"I knew Purvis couldn't hit him, so I dropped him with two shots from my .32 Winchester rifle.\" According to Smith's account, Floyd fell and did not regain his footing, and Smith then disarmed him. At that point, Purvis ran up and ordered, \"Back away from that man. I want to talk to him.\" Purvis questioned Floyd briefly and received curses in reply, so he ordered agent Herman Hollis to \"fire into him.\" Hollis then shot Floyd at point-blank range with a sub-machine gun, killing him. The interviewer asked if there was a cover-up by the FBI, and Smith responded: \"Sure was, because they didn't want it to get out that he'd been killed that way.\"\n\nFBI agent Winfred E. Hopton disputed Smith's claim in a letter to the editors of Time, published in the November 19, 1979, issue. He stated that he was one of four BOI agents present when Floyd was killed on a farm several miles from East Liverpool. According to Hopton, members of the East Liverpool police department arrived only after Floyd was already mortally wounded. He also claimed that, when the four agents confronted Floyd, he turned to fire on them, and two of the four killed him almost instantly. Smith's account said that Herman Hollis shot the wounded Floyd on Purvis's order, but Hopton claimed that Hollis was not even present. At least one other source discredits Smith's version, stating that although Smith's story received wide currency, Hollis was not at the orchard that afternoon. Hollis' FBI profile does not mention his participation in this incident. Hopton also stated that Floyd's body was transported back to East Liverpool in Hopton's own car.\n\nFloyd's body was embalmed and briefly viewed at the Sturgis Funeral Home in East Liverpool, Ohio, before being sent on to Oklahoma. His body was placed on public display in Sallisaw, Oklahoma. His funeral was attended by between 20,000 and 40,000 people and remains the largest funeral in Oklahoma history. He was buried in Akins, Oklahoma.\n\nPopular portrayals\n\nWoody Guthrie wrote a protest song romanticizing Floyd's life in 1939 called \"Pretty Boy Floyd\" which recounted Floyd's supposed generosity to the poor. It compared foreclosing bankers to outlaws, calling both actions robbery. Guthrie's song has been subsequently covered by many recording artists.\n\nDick Tracy's adversary Flattop Jones was based on Pretty Boy Floyd. Flattop claims to be a freelancer from the \"Crookston Hills\", a parody of Cookson Hills in Oklahoma, and the comic strip refers to Flattop's involvement in the Kansas City Massacre.\n\nSeveral films have been made about Floyd:\n John Ericson portrayed him in Pretty Boy Floyd (1960), directed by Herbert J. Leder\n Fabian Forte portrayed him in A Bullet for Pretty Boy (1970)\n Steve Kanaly portrayed him in the Film Dillinger (1973)\n Martin Sheen portrayed him in the TV movie The Story of Pretty Boy Floyd (1974)\n Bo Hopkins portrayed him in the TV movie The Kansas City Massacre (1975)\n Andrew Robinson portrayed him in the film The Verne Miller Story (1987) starring Scott Glenn as Vernon Miller\n Channing Tatum portrayed him in Public Enemies (2009) starring Christian Bale and Johnny Depp, in which he is falsely depicted as being killed before John Dillinger\n\nFloyd in literature\nPretty Boy Floyd (1995) is a fictionalized account of Floyd's life by Larry McMurtry and Diana Ossana.\n\nIn John Steinbeck's 1939 novel The Grapes of Wrath, the character Ma Joad refers several times to Pretty Boy Floyd as a young man driven to a tragic fate by social injustice and the Great Depression:\n\nPretty Boy Floyd, a fictionalized account of Floyd's life by Larry McMurtry and Diana Ossana was published in 1995.

"Harrison William Prescott Floyd III is a leader of the political group Black Voices for Trump. He was one of the 18 defendants indicted in 2023 in Fulton County, Georgia. The charges arose from the campaign by Donald Trump and allies to subvert Trump's loss in the 2020 presidential election.\n\nEarly life and military service\nFloyd was previously a U.S. Marine. Floyd said in a 2019 campaign press release that he had combat deployments to Saqlawiyah and Ramadi, Iraq. In online profiles, interviews, and press releases, Floyd said that his assignments and certifications included machine gunner, combat marksmanship trainer, and martial arts instructor, and said that he earned a combined bachelor's and master's degree from George Washington University after leaving activity duty.\n\nPolitical career\nIn 2019, Floyd announced his candidacy for the Georgia's 7th congressional district as a Republican, but dropped out of the race just over a month later. In a campaign ad, Floyd showed images of left-wing figures Bernie Sanders and Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez before firing a gun, saying, \"I'll fight socialists in Congress the same way I fought terrorists in the desert.\" \n\nFloyd also led the organization Black Voices for Trump during the 2020 presidential campaign.\n\nPending criminal cases\n\nMaryland assault case\nIn May 2023, Floyd was charged in federal court in Maryland with second-degree assault against a federal officer. In an affidavit, an FBI agent stated that Floyd had aggressively confronted him and \"body-slammed\" him in February 2023, at Floyd's apartment in Rockville, Maryland, as agents tried to serve Floyd with a federal grand jury subpoena related to the U.S. Department of Justice's investigation into efforts to overturn the Presidential results of the 2020 election. Floyd was subsequently arrested by local police; a federal magistrate judge released him pending trial on the condition that he surrender his passport and not possess weapons.\n\nGeorgia election racketeering prosecution\n\nIn August 2023, Floyd, along with former President Donald Trump and 16 others, was charged with violating Georgia's Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations (RICO) Act. Floyd was also charged with influencing a witness and conspiracy to commit solicitation of false statements. Floyd is one of two black defendants charged in the Georgia case; the other is Trevian Kutti. Floyd and two other Trump allies—Kutti, a Chicago-based publicist, and Stephen Cliffgard Lee, a former police officer—are accused of harassing a Georgia election worker into falsely confessing to supposed election crimes. Trump named the election worker 18 times in a phone call with Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger on January 2, 2021, in which Trump falsely called the woman a \"professional vote scammer and hustler\" and unsuccessfully pressured Raffensperger to try to overturn his election loss in Georgia. At Lee's request, Floyd set up a January 4, 2023 meeting between Kutti (accompanied by Garrison Douglas, a Georgia leader in the Black Voices for Trump group) and the election worker, who said that Kutti and Douglas pressured her to falsely admit fraud.Linda So and Jason Szep, Trump aide set up meeting where election worker was pressured, Reuters (December 21, 2021).\n\nAmong the 18 defendants, Floyd was the only one to surrender without previously making arrangements for release on bond. Thus, after surrendering on August 24, he was held for six days at the Fulton County Jail; on August 29, a judge set a bond amount ($100,000) along with conditions of pretrial release, and he was released the next day. He waived arraignment and entered a plea of not guilty.\n\nIn September 2023, after his release from jail while awaiting trial, Floyd said that he and Joe Oltmann were directing $72,000 in contributions to his legal defense fund to help post bail for inmates in Georgia. He said the effort would prioritize people charged with nonviolent crimes.\n\nPersonal life\nFloyd has a daughter.

"Red John is a fictional character and the primary antagonist of the CBS crime drama The Mentalist for the first five seasons and in the first half of the sixth season. As a serial killer, he is believed to have begun his killing spree in 1988, and has, with his operatives and acolytes, killed more than 70 people in California, Nevada, and Mexico. Five years prior to the action of the first episode, he murdered the wife and daughter of Patrick Jane (Simon Baker), making Jane his dedicated nemesis.\n\nIn the season-three finale, \"Strawberries and Cream (Part 2)\", Jane encounters a man (Timothy Carter, played by Bradley Whitford) in a shopping mall who convinces him he is Red John and whom he subsequently kills. However, after this cliffhanger episode, over the course of the first several episodes of season four, Jane determines that Carter, although a psychopathic killer himself, was not Red John, but one of the killer's many operatives.\n\nIn season five's \"Red Sails in the Sunset\", Lorelei Martins (Emmanuelle Chriqui), a Red John operative, who goes astray after Jane convinces her that Red John murdered her sister, Miranda, accidentally reveals to Jane that he has already met Red John and shaken his hand. Jane compiles a list of men whose hands he has shaken and eventually narrows the list to seven names. Lorelei, however, is captured by Red John, whom she refused to name to Jane, breaking a promise she had made, and reads a pre-mortem message from Red John threatening to go back to killing “often\" until Jane captures Red John or vice versa. In Lorelei's message from Red John, she names the seven men Jane had narrowed down his list to include, indicating that somehow Red John has gotten inside Jane's mind, although Red John doesn't deny being one of the seven men.\n\nIn the season 6 episode \"Red John\", the eponymous serial killer's identity is revealed to be Thomas McAllister, the sheriff of Napa County, portrayed by Xander Berkeley. After unmasking himself to Patrick Jane, McAllister discloses that he is the founder and overall leader of the secret organization known as the Blake Association.\n\nTV Guide included Red John in its 2013 list of \"The 60 Nastiest Villains of All Time\".\n\nCharacter profile\n\nPatrick Jane relentlessly pursues Red John, and ultimately in season 5 narrows his list of suspects to seven. The number of people in series who claim to have met \"Red John\" is limited. Although Patrick Jane learns that he has met Red John and shaken his hand at some point, he only discovers Red John's true identity midway through season 6.\n\nSmiley face and other signatures\n\nAs part of his criminal signature, Red John draws a smiley face on the wall with the blood of the victim—always clockwise (except when it was portrayed in skywriting in \"Red John's Footsteps\"), using the three fingers of his rubber-gloved right hand. Jane says in the pilot episode, \"Red John thinks of himself as a showman; an artist. He has a strong sense of theater ... the first thing that anyone sees is the face on the wall. You see the face first and you know. You know what's happened and you feel dread. Then, and only then, do you see the body of the victim. Always in that order.\"\n\nJane uses this information to work out that an apparent Red John murder was a copycat crime. Red John has twice painted his victim's toenails with their own blood. Both were female. The first was Patrick Jane's wife, Angela; Red John wanted to punish Jane for saying derogatory things about him during a TV interview. Years later, knowing the case would be intercepted by the California Bureau of Investigation team and that the reminder of his wife's death would make Jane furious, Red John painted the toenails of a young girl, to lead Jane into a trap.\n\nRed John's victims have been mostly female, with some exceptions, such as Jared Renfrew (Todd Stashwick) in the season 1 episode \"Red John's Friends\", a man Jane helped to be released from prison on the condition he would give Jane information on the whereabouts of Red John. Fearing Red John, the man escaped Jane's custody before giving any relevant information. Later that day, the man contacted Jane to explain that he would be of no further assistance, although this doesn't save Renfrew's life. Jane used background noises from the conversation as a starting point to find this man, but Red John got to him first, killing both Renfrew and the prostitute Renfrew had been with. In the season 2 episode \"His Red Right Hand\", it is revealed another man was killed when he interrupted his wife's murder at the hand of Red John. Jane believes this occurred early in Red John's career and that Red John made a \"mistake\" due to his inexperience. Jane believes Red John removed the body from the crime scene (something he had otherwise not done) to bury the mistake. In the season 2 finale \"Red Sky in the Morning\", Red John and Jane meet when Red John rescues Jane from kidnappers; however Red John wears a mask that obscures his face. Red John also kills the two kidnappers, one of whom was male, but leaves alive a boy who the kidnappers blackmailed into looking like a criminal. In the season 4 episode \"Blinking Red Light\", Red John kills James Panzer, a blogger and serial killer known as the San Joaquin Killer, after Panzer has been goaded by Jane into insulting Red John on television. Jane did this because he could think of no other way to protect society from Panzer.\n\nIn the season 4 premiere \"Scarlet Ribbons\", Patrick Jane says that Red John's victims are “nearly all women, late at night, in their homes. He wakes them first, because he likes to see the fear in their eyes. He likes to hear them beg for mercy as he cuts them open.\"\n\nIn the season 2 episode \"The Scarlet Letter\", Jane tells Senior Special Agent Sam Bosco (Terry Kinney) that \"Red John doesn't make mistakes. He doesn't leave clues. If you have new evidence, it's because he wants you to have it. The question isn't 'What does it mean?'; it's 'Why did he give it to you?'\".\n\nBruno Heller, show's creator, has said that Red John isn't a \"pathetic loser who is hiding out in a basement somewhere\", and that Jane is \"not fighting the Green River Killer. He's fighting Moriarty.\" In addition, \"Jane and the audience are coming to the gradual realization that this is a much larger task than it seemed at first. It's like those Amazon tribesmen who throw spears at passing airplanes, then come to realize those planes are the seeds of a much larger civilization that is coming down on them.\" Like Moriarty, Red John has a network of agents, willing to kill or to die for him. In a radio interview Heller has also stated: \"Red John is really just a personification of death, I mean it's that simple. Patrick Jane is very much alive and is very much about being alive in the face of death. And Red John is the fate that awaits us all in the end.\"\n\nTyger Tyger Conspiracy: The Blake Association\n\nIn season 2's finale episode \"Red Sky in the Morning\", a William Blake theme is introduced, when a person, who is believed at the time to be Red John, saves Patrick Jane from being killed under the direction of deranged slasher movie makers Ruth and Dylan. Jane is tied with saran wrap to a chair and, while he is immobilized, Red John recites the first verse of the William Blake poem \"Tyger Tyger\":\n\nTyger! Tyger! burning bright\nIn the forests of the night\nWhat immortal hand or eye\nCould frame thy fearful symmetry?\n\nIn subsequent episodes (season 3), Jane wonders about this but doesn't tell anyone that Red John recited it to him. In episode 9 of season 3 (“Red Moon”), serial cop killer Todd Johnson is burned alive. While in the ICU, with Jane the only person present, Johnson whispers in his dying breath \"Tyger! Tyger!\". This makes Jane conclude that there is a connection between Johnson and Red John, but he doesn't tell anyone about this either.\n\nDuring subsequent episodes, it becomes clear that Red John either has an inside man in the CBI or is himself working within the CBI. In season 3's \"Red Queen\", the new director of the CBI, Gale Bertram (Michael Gaston), also recites William Blake. This time it's from another poem, called \"A Cradle Song\". The two lines he recites are:\n\nAnd when thy little heart doth wake,\nThen the dreadful night shall break\n\nJane is not present at the time of the reciting, but it is quite out of character for Bertram to recite poetry, and the fact that it is a poem by the same author is probably more than a simple coincidence. Bertram is later revealed to be among Jane's final list of Red John suspects.\n\nIn the season 3 finale, Jane tells the entire team all that he knows and recites the first verse of \"Tyger Tyger\". Kimball Cho knows the poem very well and recites the first two lines of the second verse:\n\nIn what distant deeps or skies\nBurnt the fire of thine eyes?\n\nWhen discussing what the poem means, Cho says, \"Well, God made the lamb, but he also made the tiger. You can't have light without darkness. Life without death.\" This is also the mindset Red John's accomplices follow to act on his orders. In Cho's interpretation, he refers to a third, and earlier poem by William Blake, called \"The Lamb\" to which \"Tyger Tyger\" is a response or a further musing on the different parts of creation and the reasons for them, as started in \"The Lamb\". Actually, Blake himself refers to \"The Lamb\" in \"Tyger! Tyger!\", in the last line of the fifth verse: Did he who made the Lamb make thee?\n\nIn the season 6 episode \"Red Listed\", there is a revelation by Bob Kirkland (Kevin Corrigan) as to what \"Tyger Tyger\" means. Kirkland reveals to FBI agent Reede Smith (Drew Powell) that corrupt officials use the term \"Tyger, Tyger\" to cover up dirty work done under law enforcement. Smith pretends to know nothing about \"Tyger Tyger\" until he shoots Kirkland in the back six times when pretending to free him from a prison transfer, after which he tells the driver, who belongs to the same organization, \"Tyger Tyger\". The driver replies with the same phrase.\n\nIn the season 6 episode \"The Red Tattoo\", a woman named Kira Tinsley (Beth Riesgraf) is murdered by a man with a tattoo containing three dots – she reveals this to Jane in her final moments. Jane, believing that the man who killed Tinsley was Red John, gathers his five remaining Red John suspects into one location (in \"Fire and Brimstone\"), only to find that three of his suspects have the identical tattoo of three dots, revealing that they are all part of the \"Tyger Tyger\" group of corrupt officials.\n\nIn the season 6 episode \"The Great Red Dragon\", Smith decides to hand himself in after the same organization he is part of attempts to kill him, in the same way he killed Bob Kirkland. Once he is alone with Lisbon and Jane, he reveals that he is a member of The Blake Association (whose name is simultaneously first revealed), that they use the phrase \"Tyger, Tyger\" to identify fellow members, and that Red John is also a member of the Association. He explains how he came to join the Association after accidentally shooting a 12-year-old girl. The Association promised to clear his name and protect him if he agreed to join them and follow any instructions given to him, including murder.\n\nAppearances, accomplices, and copycats\n\nFace-to-face \n\nAt the start of the series, Red John was initially known as simply a serial killer who tortured and murdered mostly women, with at least eleven confirmed victims by the series' premiere. However, Red John's persona would become much more mysterious as any individual who would come close to disclosing any crucial information regarding the killer to Jane would wind up dead themselves, implying that Red John is far more than just an average serial killer and has deep connections throughout the state. It would later be revealed that Red John has a multitude of followers who see him as a savior who gave their life a purpose and willingly aid him in his various plans and murders in gratitude for what he gives them, which can range from a new life, an occupation, or some form of compensation. His followers do not simply aid him, but worship him and willingly give their lives for his cause, refusing to ever reveal any information about their leader or how they met him. Jane soon realizes that Red John is more powerful than he could ever imagine, having connections in law enforcement and an entire cult of brainwashed followers under his complete control and at his beck and call.\n\nThe character of Red John himself remained largely unseen from the beginning. His face was confined in the shadows when he escaped from the abandoned house in the first-season finale. He may have appeared as a slim, dark-haired California Highway Patrol motorcycle officer (blue turtleneck, rather than blue tie) to poison Rebecca using his left hand in \"His Red Right Hand\"; in the same episode, he is also seen in flashback. In the second-season finale, \"Red Sky in the Morning\", a man claiming to be Red John appears in the flesh, wearing a black sweatshirt, apron and pants, black rubber gloves, a pair of charcoal boots, and a grotesque rubber mask that covers his face, making him look slightly similar to what many believe the real life serial killer Jack the Ripper donned during his murder hunts. In the episode, Red John saves Jane from two student filmmakers who had copycatted Red John murders.\n\nDuring the encounter, Red John keeps his face hidden behind a mask, preventing Jane from identifying him. Before leaving Jane, Red John recites the first stanza of \"The Tyger\" by William Blake (see above). This poem is alluded to numerous times throughout the series, before and after its reveal to Jane, with its contents making up the backbone of Red John's philosophy (implying the reason for why it is his favorite poem) of there being no such thing as life without death or light without darkness, something he tells his followers to get them into the correct mindset for their murders and exploits.\n\nThere have been further developments in season 5. In \"Red Sails in the Sunset\", Lorelei Martins reveals, in a moment of pique, that Red John is someone Jane knows by telling him that he and Red John are very much alike and she is surprised that they didn't become best friends \"as soon as they shook hands\". This prompts Jane to compile a list of men he has shaken hands with, which would eventually be narrowed down to seven names.\n\nTodd Johnson and Red John impersonator \n\nIn the episode \"Red Moon\", Jane exposes an EMT, Todd Johnson (Josh Braaten), as a serial cop killer. After being locked in a holding cell in the CBI headquarters, Johnson says he will only talk to Jane, as he claims only Jane will understand what he has to say. When the guard returns with Jane, Johnson has been set aflame and is writhing on fire. On his deathbed, Johnson says \"Tyger Tyger\" to Jane, indicating he is in some way connected to Red John. The reason behind Todd Johnson's cop killings is left unclear, but later seasons along with Johnson's knowledge of the phrase \"Tyger, Tyger\" would imply that their deaths were in some way connected to the \"Blake Association\". Red John most likely ordered Johnson to murder various police officers who were close to discovering his society or were members themselves (perhaps indicating why one of Johnson's victims was burned alive, probably in order to hide the organization's tattoo, which is marked on all members to better ensure loyalty) who failed to complete their orders or were planning on turning themselves, and the association by extension, over to the authorities.\n\nWhen Johnson realized that Red John would never let him live while he was in custody and surrounded by potentially corrupt officials, he was prepared to reveal everything he knew to Jane, before he himself is killed by another Red John operative, but still managed to utter the society's main form of communication to Jane. Jane then begins a secret investigation of his own to track the killer. Red John, in the meantime, decides to exploit the opportunity to use Johnson's murder as a means to target another individual close to Jane and additionally cover up the identity of Johnson's true killer, who also served as his secret informant on the CBI. Meanwhile, Special Agent J.J. LaRoche (Pruitt Taylor Vince) begins rigorously working to find Johnson's killer. He ultimately suspects Supervising Agent Madeleine Hightower (Aunjanue Ellis), due to DNA evidence that Jane believes has been planted by Red John or one of his accomplices. With Jane's help, Hightower stages a hostile escape and is advised by Jane to remain in hiding, not only to evade the police but due to the danger imposed by Red John. Hightower goes to stay with her sister.\n\nIn the season 3 finale, \"Strawberries and Cream – Part 2\", the mole is identified as Grace Van Pelt's fiancé, FBI Agent Craig O'Laughlin (played by Eric Winter); O'Laughlin attempts to assassinate Hightower and instead shoots Lisbon, and is then himself shot dead by Hightower and Van Pelt in tandem. Gale Bertram (Michael Gaston) leaves the mall in a huff over Jane's wasting of his time. Jane, on a call with Lisbon during the shootout, tells her to use O'Laughlin's cell phone to redial the last number and tell the one who answered that O'Laughlin is dead. When Lisbon does so, a phone rings near Jane and is answered by a man (Timothy Carter, played by Bradley Whitford) reading a newspaper and speaking in an odd, high-pitched voice. After ending the call, Jane approaches the man and questions him. At first, the man appears upset and threatens to call security, but then smiles and says he was joking and claims he is Red John. The two talk; the man reveals to Jane that he has a gun concealed in a folded newspaper and states that he is tired of killing and wants to start a new life, and encourages Jane to do the same. Jane says he will not be able to move on until Red John is dead. The man begins to leave, but at Jane's insistence answers a question, revealing details about Jane's wife and daughter that Jane mistakenly presumes only Red John could know. Jane vengefully shoots Carter with a gun he has hidden in his pocket. In season 4, Carter is shown to have been a Red John operative imposter.\n\nRed John still at large \n\nIn reference to the season 3 finale, the series creator, Bruno Heller, has stated: \"What you get from that scene is what you should get. The viewer is supposed to be convinced. Patrick Jane is certain it's Red John... The thing is, Red John is a master of the mind game. If Red John wanted to die, maybe this is how he wanted to die. Or maybe he just wants Jane to think he's dead.\"\n\nIn the season 4 premiere it is revealed that Ron Deutsch, the bald security officer at the mall, was a Red John operative who removed crucial evidence from the scene. Jane comes to believe the man he shot was not Red John, but Timothy Carter, a sadistic businessman who, with his equally twisted wife, Sally, had kidnapped a young woman, Debbie Lupin, in whose search the couple cynically pretended to join. Jane tricks Sally into revealing Lupin's location and Sally is arrested by Lisbon and taken into custody, not to be heard from again as she commits suicide in jail. Jane convinces a jury that Carter was Red John and is acquitted, although Jane is already beginning to have doubts about that.\n\nIn \"Little Red Book\", Lisbon arranges a meeting with Agent J.J. LaRoche, who is apparently leaving Major Crimes, to see Sally Carter, who committed suicide by slitting her wrists with a sharpened spoon, leaving a note about how lost she was now that her \"God\" (by which she presumably means Timothy Carter) is dead. But Jane, still not satisfied Carter was Red John, brings Rosalind Harker, the blind woman who had a relationship with Red John, to identify Carter's body. She feels his face and told him that she had never met the man before, confirming Jane's suspicion that Red John is \"still out there somewhere\".\n\nJames Panzer and Susan Darcy's investigation \n\nBy the episode \"Blinking Red Light\", it is now widely believed that Red John is dead, with Jane and Lisbon the only ones aware he is still alive. One of the people believing Red John to be dead is James Panzer, a blogger pretending to devote his life to find a serial killer known as \"the San Joaquin Killer\" (abbreviated SJK, who has killed at least five young women). In reality, Panzer is the killer. Jane suspects Panzer but initially lacks the proof to expose him. When he and Panzer both appear on Karen Cross's television talk show discussing the SJK case, Jane recognizes Panzer has to be stopped and goads Panzer into comparing Red John unfavorably to SJK. Panzer rises to the bait, making bold statements that the SJK killings were the work of a genius and Red John by comparison is a \"common sociopath, lazy, sloppy, delusional\" and already forgotten since Jane killed him. Panzer then makes the same mistake made by Jane and Kristina Frye: belittling Red John in a public forum. A couple of hours after the television appearance, Panzer is found murdered, with Red John's smiley face painted in blood on one of the walls near his body. Panzer's murder proves Jane's theory that Red John is still alive. This makes Panzer Red John's ninth male victim.\n\nBy the episode \"Always Bet on Red\", the FBI had investigated Panzer's murder and believed that a copycat of Red John was now active. The agent in charge, Susan Darcy (Catherine Dent), begins pressing Jane for confirmation that he did kill Red John. At this time, Red John is shown to be stalking Darcy via an uploaded video called \"I Dare You\" on the Major Crime server, which shows her in her apartment, unaware that she is being filmed. The cameraman uploads an infobox saying, \"She's cute, this is going to be fun\". Jane reluctantly frames the late Thomas Maier, father of Panzer's first victim, for killing Panzer as revenge for SJK's victims – Maier had recently committed suicide. The FBI closes the case, presumably leaving Darcy safe, as she will presumably drop her inquiry.\n\nIn the episode \"Red is the New Black\", Jane's efforts are later exposed and undone when Darcy refuses to let the case go after finding too many discrepancies. Darcy interviews Rosalind Harker, Red John's blind ex-girlfriend and also the attendant of the morgue that Timothy Carter's body was taken to following his death. Darcy subsequently realizes that Red John was still alive even though Jane has kept up the deception. Later, Harker contacts Jane and happily reveals Red John, once again under the alias \"Roy Tagliaferro\", has come to visit her for tea, promising to \"sort things out\" with Jane and Darcy. As Harker speaks on the phone, a slim man, holding a tea cup in his left hand, and dressed in a smart, dark-coloured suit, is sitting nearby; Harker, when asked, confirms that \"Roy\" is present and listening.\n\nJane, fearing Red John will kill Harker, alerts Lisbon and Darcy, and they proceed to her house with an FBI SWAT team. Upon arrival, they find Harker alive and unhurt, playing her piano alone, seemingly sad that Red John \"couldn't stay\". Darcy notices a blood trail leading to a nearby closet, which, when opened, reveals the murdered body of the morgue attendant, confirming that Red John is still alive, either following Darcy or with access to the information in her files and/or her comings and goings. All of the Red John files were delivered to Darcy by CBI Director Wainwright, himself killed shortly thereafter by Darcy assuming it was Red John in the car speaking to Jane.\n\nNinth anniversary of Jane's wife and daughter's death \n\nIn the season 4's penultimate episode \"Red Rover, Red Rover\", Jane receives a message from Red John: an envelope with the words \"Happy Anniversary\" under the wiper of his car. In the cemetery where Jane's wife and daughter are buried, a little girl named Hailey (Emma Rayne Lyle) approaches him and says, \"Hello, Patrick.\" When Patrick asks how she knows his name, she says, \"Your friend told me,\" and reveals the red smiley-face painted on her hand. She says, \"He told me to ask you a question ... 'Do you give up yet?'\" Hailey tells Patrick the man is white, was wearing a baseball cap, and had an odd voice. Lisbon says to Patrick that Red John wants to play with his mind. Later in the episode, Patrick burns all the CBI files of Red John, presumably out of despair, and the next morning says, \"He's right... it's time to give up ... nothing's working. Nothing. It's just a game, and he keeps winning. The only way for me to stop him is if I stop playing.\"\n\nJane's breakdown and Red John's proposal \n\nIn season 4's finale \"The Crimson Hat\", after being fired from the CBI, Jane finds himself in a Las Vegas bar, where he meets an attractive woman named Lorelei (Emmanuelle Chriqui). He gets arrested. Lorelei bails him out, and the two have sex in Jane's apartment. The next day, Lorelei reveals herself as an associate of Red John and says her presence in Jane's life is \"a gift\". She brings forward Red John's proposal for friendship and a \"change\" in Jane's lifestyle to help him overcome his depression. Jane is shocked and tells Lorelei to get out. However, he later confides to Lisbon that his breakdown had been tailored to get Red John to believe Patrick was really giving up. Red John communicates through Lorelei that he will only meet Jane in person if he kills Lisbon and brings him her head as a \"present\". The CBI team executes a plot where they fake the murders of Lisbon and Rigsby at the hands of Jane, and the team goes into hiding. On hearing this over the news, Red John sends a message to Jane to meet him in Nevada. Darcy is investigating the apparent deaths of Lisbon and Rigsby. She discovers that the body found does not belong to Rigsby and gets arrest warrants issued against the entire team involved in the deception.\n\nMeanwhile, a limousine pulls over in the middle of a deserted street where Jane is waiting. Lorelei and a huge, armed man emerge from the car, and she claims Red John is inside. Lorelei looks at the box Jane is bearing and asks if it contains a football or a cabbage. He tells her it is a melon, specifically a honeydew. She does not react angrily, apparently since Red John (and thus she) became aware of Jane's deception. Lorelei does have her assistant beat Jane up \"a little\". Jane sits in the front seat of the limo while a dark, shadowy figure sitting in the back whose voice is distorted with a radio transmitter, and whose face is not visible, greets Jane. He tells Jane that he was fooled for a while by Jane's plot but was apprised of the truth by a \"good friend\" inside the FBI. At this moment, Lisbon and her team, who were to move in and arrest Red John, are arrested by Darcy and her squad. Lisbon, cuffed on the side of the road, tells Darcy about the plan and the imminent danger to Jane's life. Just as Lorelei is about to reluctantly punish Jane by cutting off two of his fingers, the CBI and FBI teams arrive. Jane emerges unharmed. The FBI fired bullets at the fleeing limousine, which stops. Lorelei is arrested unhurt, although the driver/bodyguard is killed. Darcy opens the back door, which reveals CBI Director Luther Wainwright, bound and dead, with a pay-as-you-go (burner) phone attached to his body. Lorelei is interrogated at the CBI by Jane and Lisbon. She refuses to speak about Red John but tells Lisbon that she and Jane have been lovers, calling each other \"lover\" frequently. Jane tells Lorelei that she will eventually reveal what she knows and walks out of the room, ending season 4.\n\nLorelei Martins \n\nIn the season 5 episode \"Red Sails in the Sunset\", Lorelei Martins reappears in a women's prison, having been removed from CBI custody by the FBI. She remains loyal to Red John and when Jane, with the aid of Bret Stiles (Malcolm McDowell), has her broken out of prison, she expresses shock and disappointment that her liberator is Jane, not Red John. Jane discovers Lorelei had a sister who was murdered some years prior. Lisbon faxes him a photo of the crime scene where the word \"ROY\" can be seen scrawled on the floor next to the sister's body – information that had been withheld from the public at the time of the murder. This suggests to Jane that Red John (who has used the alias Roy Tagliaferro) was the killer, a fact that Jane reveals to Lorelei, who, angry at an earlier deception by Jane, tells him that \"you're just like him, you know that? Relentless manipulation... I only wonder why the two of you didn't become lifelong friends from the moment you shook hands.\" This slip of Lorelei suggests that Jane has met Red John in the past. However, Lorelei refuses to believe Jane about the murderer. Alerted to Jane's whereabouts, the CBI begins to close in on the pair, but Jane allows Lorelei to escape, telling her to \"find the truth\" for herself and come back to him when she realizes Red John used her.\n\nLorelei reappears in episode 16 of season 5, \"There Will Be Blood\", which reveals two new accomplices of Red John – well-regarded citizens Julia Howard and Jason Lennon – an employee and a trustee of a women's shelter, respectively. Lorelei tortures Julia to obtain information about her sister's death and then kills her after a brutal beating. When Lorelei comes after Lennon, Jane appears to try to rescue Lennon (for Jane's own ends) and acknowledge Lennon and Red John's involvement in Miranda Martins' murder. Lorelei shoots Lennon, critically wounding him. After kissing Jane, she departs on a mission to kill Red John, breaking her pact to reveal Red John's identity. She tells Jane she has done \"much worse [than breaking a promise]\", and that she and Jane are both going to hell \"on two different roads\". Two weeks later, Lennon is revealed to have survived the shooting, although in a coma, while Lorelei is found dead under Red John's smiley face with Homeland Security and police at the scene. Jane apologizes to her corpse but, still peeved over Lorelei's breaking her promise to identify Red John, tells Lisbon (of Lorelei), \"She had it coming.\"\n\nVisualize \n\nIn the fifth season episode \"The Red Barn\", it is hinted that Red John may currently be or was a member of the \"Visualize Self-Realization Center\" church, a notorious cult with a reputation for brainwashing its members, as two bodies which fit his MO were found on a farm previously controlled by Visualize, complete with his signature smiley face on the outside of the barn where the bodies were found. The murders are revealed to have been committed over two decades ago, when various Visualize members worked on the farm until its eventual shutdown due to a lack of farming expertise, and ten years before Red John was an active serial killer who targeted predominantly women. This implies that Red John used the cult and its techniques to recruit individuals who would make suitable followers (as many of Visualize's members come from broken families and traumatic childhoods, a trait that nearly every single Red John operative also shares), then brainwashes or seduces them to effectively control them. This finally explains how Red John recruited so many followers over the years who worshipped him and who were willing to give their lives for his plans.\n\nRebecca Anderson, a loyal Red John operative who murdered Sam Bosco and his team under his orders before she is killed by Red John, reveals that Red John \"opened her eyes to the truth\" and enabled her to see the world for what it really was. This is similar to Visualize's motto of opening up potential members' eyes to the truth in order to effectively recruit them, implying that Red John uses the same philosophy to recruit his followers. Visualize is also known for teaching its members various and diverse skills, such as bomb manufacturing and advanced technology and computer uses, skills that Red John himself and many of his followers also display throughout the series. In a later episode, a private investigator named Kira Tinsley, who was hired by Red John to spy on the CBI, mentions that it was a Visualize member that hired her, confirming that Red John is indeed still a functioning member of the organization. The leader of the cult, Bret Stiles, has shown in previous seasons that he has a very thorough grasp on Red John's inner workings, hinting at a connection between the two, which seems to finally be revealed as Visualize. Whether Bret Stiles actually knows the identity of Red John appears to be debatable throughout the series, but subsequent episodes imply that, although Stiles may know Red John is connected to his organization, he does not know which member he currently is and simply uses his own resources to keep tabs on the killer's activities.\n\nBob Kirkland and Homeland Security \n\nRobert \"Bob\" Kirkland, introduced in the retcon episode \"Red Dawn\", has engaged in numerous suspicious activities relating to Jane and Jane's search for Red John. In flashback just after Jane has joined the CBI, a man is seen thanking FBI Director Alexa Shultz for asking Virgil Minelli to keep the FBI updated on the Red John investigation. A couple of episodes later, the man reappears. He identifies himself as Homeland Security Agent Bob Kirkland, telling Lisbon that the Tommy Volker matter is being handled and that she should \"take a step back\".\n\nAfter he leaves her office, he comes upon Jane. The two shake hands, and Kirkland tells Jane that he knows him, although Jane didn't know Kirkland. In the next episode, Lorelei Martins tells Jane that he had already met and shaken hands with Red John. In the episodes \"Red Sails in the Sunset\" and \"There Will Be Blood\", Kirkland and Homeland Security are shown taking a deep interest in finding Red John's accomplice, Lorelei Martins, when she goes on a killing spree. Neither the CBI nor Homeland Security locate Lorelei before she is found murdered under Red John's trademark smiley face. When Jason Lennon (who admitted to being an accomplice of Red John) awakes from an induced coma, he is interviewed by Kirkland. He tells Kirkland that he remembers who shot him but says he does not recognize Kirkland. Kirkland then kills Lennon with an injection, making it appear Lennon has died of his injuries. Kirkland tells Jane that Lennon \"never said a word\" before dying.\n\nIn the episode \"Red Letter Day\", Kirkland has two Homeland Security agents break into the attic where Jane works (and occasionally lives) at CBI. They take pictures of the information on Red John that Jane has on display. Kirkland is able to reproduce a near-exact version of Jane's bulletin board on Red John, presumably including the references to Kirkland himself as a suspect. Jane had suspicions that he was being watched and realizes that his room has been broken into because he sees the toothpick he had been leaving of late between the door and the frame lying on the floor where it fell after Kirkland's men entered the premises, never noticing it.\n\nKirkland reappears in episode 4 of season 6. He is revealed to be responsible for killing names on a list of fake Red John suspects his men stole from Jane. Once he learns that the list was fake from Jane, he kidnaps him. At the barn where he is being held captive, it is also shown that Richard Haibach is there, one of the men suspected of being the \"San Joaquin Killer.\" Jane is saved by Hightower and Lisbon, and Kirkland is arrested. On his way to prison, his vehicle is pulled over by FBI Agent Reede Smith. Smith informs him that the \"Tyger, Tyger\" quote is used by dirty officers of California Law Enforcement. Smith is one of them. When he gives Kirkland the address to a safe house, he then shoots him to death while running to his freedom. He and the driver cover it up and before departing say, \"Tyger, Tyger.\" While Kirkland originally monitored Jane through his connections in the FBI and researched Red John on his own accord, Kirkland's findings into the existence of this criminal organization enabled him to authorize Homeland Security to openly investigate Red John, as he is a suspected member of the organization, which could pose a threat to national security and commit acts of terrorism.\n\nThe seven suspects \n\nIn the fifth season finale, Jane reveals to Lisbon that he has narrowed the Red John suspect list to seven names. Although those names aren't revealed until the end of the episode, Jane and the CBI investigate a Red John murder. Although it was initially believed that Red John wasn't involved in the murder and that it was either the victim's husband or uncle, it is revealed that Red John committed the murder with the help of Miriam Gottlieb, a social worker who wanted Eileen Turner's child. Gottlieb tricked Turner into separating herself from her volatile husband and moving into a motel, where Red John struck. In transit after her arrest, Gottlieb commits suicide by swallowing a cyanide pill, refusing, like almost all Red John's operatives, to be taken alive. Before her arrest, she gave Jane a DVD from Red John, which featured the now-dead Lorelei Martins, who recorded a video shortly before her own murder by Red John. Martins reveals that Red John is very angry with her for revealing that Patrick and Red John had shaken hands, and that, in exchange for her making the recording, Red John will not \"make her suffer so much\". The video reveals that Red John somehow knows the names of Patrick Jane's seven suspects:\n\nRed John doesn't deny being one of these men. The killing of Eileen Turner marks the beginning of a new killing spree as Lorelei tells Jane that Red John will \"start killing again ... often\" until either Jane catches him, or he catches Jane. Out of frustration, Jane breaks the DVD with his own fingers, and sighs while looking out his window of his room at CBI.\n\nThe final hunt \n\nIn the premiere of season 6, Jane is highly disturbed at how Red John could deduce who he would have on his final list two months before finishing it, as well as have so much intimate knowledge of his memories and thought process. At a loss as to what to do, Jane remains extremely cautious around the seven suspects while Lisbon goes behind his back and has all the suspects' cell phones installed with GPS trackers.\n\nInfuriated that Lisbon went behind his back and played into Red John's hands, Jane and Lisbon have a falling out, with Lisbon eventually going to an abandoned house after receiving an anonymous tip at 5570 West Huron Street. She calls SAC-PD; however, when she arrives at the address, a lady on the line informs her that they are temporarily unavailable. She then hears a faint scream inside and enters. Inside, she finds the mutilated body of Brett Partridge, chanting \"Tyger, Tyger\", before dying, effectively revealing that he is not Red John. It is revealed that Red John called in the anonymous tip, abducted and placed Partridge within the house to torture and murder him, knowing that Lisbon was tracking the suspects' phones and would arrive after learning that Partridge was in the house. He abducts her and then uses her phone to call Jane, who has previously been attempting to call Lisbon to apologize for their earlier argument, and taunts him as he paints his signature smiley-face on her face with Partridge's blood.\n\nHowever, Jane and the authorities locate Lisbon, who seems to have been left unscathed by Red John, confusing her and Jane. As Jane ponders how Red John could have such intimate knowledge into his past and memories, he concludes that Red John must have had access to someone with such knowledge: Sophie Miller, Jane's old psychiatrist, who helped him regain his mental health after he suffered a breakdown in the wake of his family's murder. After repeated attempts to communicate with Sophie fail, Jane visits her house, only to find her severed head in the kitchen oven, revealing her to be one of Red John's victims.\n\nAs it is revealed that Red John stole Sophie's personal files on her patients, Jane concludes that Red John most likely came to her in the guise of a patient in order to ply her for knowledge. However, Red John didn't know that Sophie used an audio device to record her thoughts about her patients, using her unique ability to read people even if they attempt to hide their true emotions and personality. Locating an entry dedicated to a man with the last name \"Roth\" (a word meaning 'red'), Red John's alias when visiting Sophie, Jane listens to a detailed description of Red John's inner workings; he seems to have a case of acrophobia, and/or other phobias, is middle aged, is in good health, has no family but many friends, is a great speaker, has good posture, is an excellent whistler, possesses hints of narcissism, and seems to be harboring something dark within himself. With this knowledge, Jane is one step ahead of Red John with an additional description to narrow down his list of six suspects.\n\nThe Blake Association \nKnowing about the tattoo and using it as his leverage, Jane plans to gather the remaining five suspects at his old house where he has ammunition. He plans to attract each suspect individually, telling them he has critical information about Red John. Jane promises Lisbon that she can accompany him during this process, but breaks his promise as he is worried about her safety. Once the five suspects are together, Jane tells them that one of them is Red John. He pulls out his shotgun and asks that they all put their guns on the floor. He then reveals what Tinsley told him about the tattoo and asks the men to reveal their left shoulders. First to reveal is Raymond Haffner and Bret Stiles, who do not have tattoos. Sheriff Thomas McAllister reveals his arm and his tattoo, three dots, just as Tinsley described. Jane moves in to take a closer look at whom he now believes is the real Red John before Bret Stiles indicates for him to look at Gale Bertram and Reede Smith, who both have the same tattoo as the sheriff. Now that three men have identical tattoos, a new window is opened to identify who Red John is; and whether Red John also has the tattoo. It is believed that the men who have these tattoos are all corrupt government officials who use the \"Tyger, Tyger\" phrase to cover up their unlawful work.\n\nAs Jane gathers them in his home, the house explodes with all five Red John suspects and Jane still inside. Police arrive, and Lisbon enters the house to discover Reede Smith. She identifies the tattoo and shoots Smith, wounding him, but he escapes. Lisbon then sees Bertram and tells him Smith is Red John. Bertram slips away as only Jane at this point knows he has the tattoo. An unconscious Jane is asleep at the hospital and Bertram attempts to kill him before being interrupted by Lisbon. As Jane begins to regain consciousness, Bertram flees and Lisbon and Jane deduce that either Bertram or Smith is Red John. It is also revealed through DNA testing that the other Red John suspects were killed in the blast, although no bodies were seen. Jane and Lisbon then realize that Brett Partridge was chanting the phrase \"Tyger, Tyger\" to Lisbon just prior to his death, in the hope that she was a member and could help him. When Agent Cho checks Partridge's body at the morgue to verify the tattoo confirming that he was a Blake member, he learns that Red John peeled away the section of skin on his shoulder where the tattoo would have been located, implying that Partridge was a member and Red John had attempted to cover up his affiliation to the group. While Smith attempts to recover from his wound, the corrupt law enforcement organization he is a part of attempts to kill him before the CBI finds him, fearful that he will reveal their secrets. After two attempts are made on his life, Smith decides to hand himself in to the CBI in exchange for protection, where he reveals that he joined the Blake Association after accidentally killing a twelve-year-old girl as a result of paranoia induced by pain medication he was addicted to at the time, eventually being cleared of the crime due to his ties with the Blake Association.\n\nSince then, Smith has been a member of the group, helping fellow associates cover their own illegal acts, while developing more and more guilt over his own actions. The name of the group and its code are derived from William Blake and his famous poem \"The Tyger\", implying that whoever controls the organization is an admirer of Blake's work. Smith further reveals that Red John is part of the association, which was how he managed to poison Rebecca, one of his followers when she killed Bosco and his entire unit, as well as how he managed to have so many connections throughout law enforcement. Jane then looks Smith in the eye and asks him if he killed his wife and daughter, at which point Smith states that he did not. This prompts Jane to reveal at a press conference that Red John is Gale Bertram, who has since gone on the run with the aid of a fellow Blake associate named Oscar. While hiding from the authorities, Bertram brutally murders a bartender who comes close to recognizing him on the news reports and evades capture by posing as a SWAT officer as other units, many of which he called in himself, arrive, allowing him to escape unseen in Oscar's vehicle. With so much corruption being revealed to have infiltrated California's law enforcement agencies, along with Bertram seemingly revealed as Red John, an out of state FBI team led by Special Agent Dennis Abbot from Austin, Texas, is sent to disband the CBI, at which point Jane decides to \"let go\" but tells Lisbon he hasn't quit in his hunt for Red John.\n\nThe reveal and death of Red John\nThe next day, as the FBI cleans out the CBI headquarters, Jane receives a phone call from Bertram, who is still on the run with the aid of Oscar, but cuts their conversation short when a police officer at the gas station he is calling from recognizes Bertram. Before the officer can arrest him, Oscar shoots the officer dead and escapes with Bertram. Jane bides his time until Bertram calls him again, wishing to meet him to gain a sense of closure and believing that their rivalry has ended in an honorable tie. Jane gets Bertram to meet him in the chapel at the cemetery where his wife and daughter are buried. Taking Lisbon's gun and escaping from the FBI as they attempt to arrest him, Jane meets Bertram at the chapel after being disarmed by Oscar and learns that Bertram is not Red John. Bertram reveals that he is not even a high-ranking member of the Blake Association and it is Red John who is one of the high members. He does not know who Red John is but was ordered to lure Jane to a meeting so that he can be killed. He then orders Oscar to kill Jane.\n\nHowever, Oscar, also under orders from Red John, shoots Bertram dead as the real Red John enters the chapel: Sheriff Thomas McAllister. McAllister thanks Oscar and then instructs him to leave to give him and Jane time to talk. As Jane asks why Bertram had to die, McAllister reveals that, as the world now believes Bertram to be Red John, it would be a fitting end for Jane to end up dying with his supposed nemesis. The killer reveals that he has been the secret power controlling the Blake Association, having started it many years ago, and has been manipulating its thousands of members with their secrets and illegal acts, using his favorite poet, William Blake, and his poem \"The Tyger\" as inspiration for the name of the society and its inner communications. With this secret organization at his disposal, in conjunction with the dozens of loyal followers he recruited, seduced, and brainwashed through Visualize, McAllister formed connections all over the state to spy for him, tamper with evidence, commit murders, and aid in his plans of building up his society and cult, as well as targeting Jane and people close to him.\n\nWhile Red John gloats over his victories, Jane reveals that he knows how McAllister survived the explosion back at his home: he brought two bombs. One was a concussion bomb that knocked out everyone in the room, at which point McAllister dragged Jane, Bertram, and Smith away from the more deadly bomb. McAllister then brought in a dead body from the trunk of his car, which had its DNA records swapped with those of McAllister's courtesy of Brett Partridge, a member of the Blake Association whose job gave him access to the DNA primary data base and was later murdered by McAllister for knowing too much. This body was placed next to Stiles and Haffner, both of whom perished in the explosion, leaving only Jane, Smith, and Bertram alive, while McAllister escaped before the authorities arrived. McAllister knew that either Smith or Bertram would be accused of being Red John as they would be the only remaining suspects with ties to the Blake Association. McAllister had then ordered for Smith to be killed before CBI could arrest him and had Bertram (anonymously through the Blake Association) lure Jane to a final meeting before Bertram was to escape the country, while also secretly ordering Oscar to aid the former CBI director and ensure his safety until Jane arrived, at which point he was to kill Bertram.\n\nBefore McAllister can kill Jane, Jane hands him a handful of bread crumbs and releases a pigeon from his jacket, startling McAllister, who had displayed a phobia of the creatures in a previous episode. This revealed that Jane knew McAllister was Red John before meeting Bertram and deduced his phobia, which Sophia Miller previously speculated on (also implying why he was unable to kill Lisbon previously as the house they were in during the season premiere contained pigeons). Jane then snatches a gun he taped underneath one of the pews the previous day and shoots McAllister in the torso and Oscar dead when he enters to stop Jane; McAllister begs Jane not to kill him. As Jane revels in finally knowing who his nemesis is and having him at his mercy, a startled woman enters the chapel and asks Jane to stop. As Jane tries to calm the woman and get her to leave, she reveals herself to be another of Red John's agents and attempts to slit Jane's throat with a knife. Jane knocks out the woman with a candle stand and, realizing that McAllister escaped during the commotion, leaves the chapel to chase the killer.\n\nAfter being pursued through the cemetery, a neighborhood, and a playground, McAllister loses his stamina near a small pond and dials 911. Jane kicks his nemesis, knocking the phone away from him, and grasps the man's throat. As McAllister claims that he knew who would be on Jane's final list of suspects because he is a real psychic, Jane asks him two final questions to determine his honesty by looking at his eyes. Asking McAllister to blink once for no and two for yes, Jane asks if he is sorry for murdering his wife and daughter and if he is afraid to die; McAllister blinks twice to both questions. Satisfied with his answers, Jane then strangles McAllister to death.\n\nReferences\n\nThe Mentalist characters\nFictional serial killers\nTelevision characters introduced in 2008\nFictional characters from San Francisco Bay Area\nFictional sheriffs\nNapa County, California\nAmerican male characters in television\nFictional murderers of children\nFictional criminals in television",

"Century Rain is a 2004 noir science fiction alternate history mystery novel by Welsh author Alastair Reynolds ().\n\nPlot summary \nWendell Floyd is an expatriate American living in an alternate version of 1950s Paris. In this world, the Nazi invasion of France failed, and Hitler was deposed by the German High Command. Without World War II, technology in this world has stagnated at 1930s levels, and Fascist political parties have gained power in France.\n\nFloyd is a part-time jazz musician whose career has stalled since his ex-girlfriend, Greta, left Paris to pursue a musical career touring with another jazz band. He and his band-mate André Custine earn a supplemental income working as private detectives. When the novel opens, Floyd and Custine are hired by a concerned landlord to investigate the death of one of his tenants. Blanchard, the landlord, is certain that the death of Susan White, which the Parisian police have written off as an accident, is murder. Floyd is not so certain, but he's willing to investigate.\n\nIn a scene seemingly from another novel, Verity Auger finds herself responsible when her archaeology dig beneath the frozen ruins of some far-flung future Paris results in the death of one of her students. During her trial she is caught up in political infighting, and maneuvered into accepting a high risk assignment, without knowing what it entails.\n\nBut when she is summoned on a mission to Mars by the top-secret security agency Contingencies, Auger is more than relieved to be exempt from her tribunal and the years of prison that she would otherwise have to face. However, when she is taken to a secret underground base on the Martian moon Phobos containing an ancient alien relic that opens a portal to a distant part of the galaxy, and told that she is to go through it, she begins to have second thoughts about continuing with her mission. Things get even more bizarre when she finds out that at the other end of the portal is an alternate-history version of Earth in the year 1959 – almost 300 years behind her present-day – and that she is to retrieve a tin of documents that was left behind by Susan White, an earlier agent sent to \"Earth Two\", who died under mysterious circumstances.\n\nReviews\nCassada, Jackie. \"Century Rain.\" Library Journal 130.11 (15 June 2005): 66–66.\n\"Century Rain.\" Publishers Weekly 252.19 (9 May 2005): 51–51.\nSchroeder, Regina. \"Century Rain.\" Booklist 101.19/20 (June 2005): 1769–1769.\n\"CENTURY RAIN.\" Entertainment Weekly (8 July 2005): 73–73.\n\"CENTURY RAIN.\" Science Fact & Science Fiction Concatenation (15 April 2009): vol 19 (3).\n\nReferences \n\n2004 British novels\nBritish alternative history novels\n2004 science fiction novels\nFiction set in 1959\nFiction set in the 2070s\nNovels set in Paris\nNovels by Alastair Reynolds\nFiction set on Phobos (moon)",

"Floyd Lawson (Floyd the Barber) is a fictional character on the American sitcom The Andy Griffith Show. Floyd was primarily portrayed by actor Howard McNear.\n\nCharacter overview\nFloyd the Barber was the slow-paced, somewhat absent-minded barber in the series' fictional town of Mayberry. He was born and raised in Mayberry, having descended from one of the town's original settlers, Daniel Lawson. He was a founding member of the town band, served as secretary of the Downtown Businessman's Club, and is a member of The Regal Order of the Golden Door to Good Fellowship.\n\nFloyd has one son, Norman, with his wife, Melba. Other family members mentioned throughout the run of the show include niece Virginia Lee. Floyd's nephew, Warren Ferguson, served as town deputy for a time. Lamar Tuttle is also mentioned as Floyd's cousin.\n\nFloyd is first introduced in the first-season episode \"Stranger in Town\" and is played by actor Walter Baldwin. Baldwin established the running gag of Floyd's inability to trim sideburns evenly, which continued throughout the run of the series. Baldwin portrayed Floyd for just one episode, and the character otherwise differed from the later version, with most of the jokes stemming from the bespectacled Floyd's barely being able to see. From January, 1961 on, the role was played by Howard McNear, the actor most commonly associated with the role.\n\nOver the first few seasons, the importance of Floyd the Barber to the series increased. Slowly, McNear changed his delivery of dialogue for Floyd from fast-paced to slower and slower as time went on. Floyd also became involved more in the plots of the various episodes as the show progressed.\n\nIn early 1963, midway through the third season, Howard McNear suffered a serious stroke. He was left with limited use of his arms and legs, especially his left arm, which rarely moved. The producers of the series and Andy Griffith wanted McNear to return as Floyd when his health permitted it, and after about a year, McNear was talked into coming back (which he was not going to do at first). The series had a special chair constructed that McNear was able to sit in most of the time while on the set, as the stroke had left him only able to stand for short periods of time. Accordingly, the Floyd character then began to appear regularly again on the series towards the end of season four.\n\nThe last appearance of Floyd the Barber on The Andy Griffith Show was in the final episode of the seventh season. Howard McNear's health worsened and he was not able to return to the series for season eight, and he died less than a year later. To try to fill in his loss on the series, a new character named Emmett Clark (a fix-it man) was brought in. As announced on the series, Floyd had retired because he had earned enough money. Emmett (played by veteran character actor Paul Hartman) moved his fix-it shop from his home into Floyd's old barber shop location.\n\nInconsistencies\nIn Howard McNear's first appearance as Floyd, \"Mayberry Goes Hollywood,\" the character is referred to as Floyd Colby and the barbershop was called \"Colby's Tonsorial Parlor\". Later Floyd's surname was established to be \"Lawson.\"\n\nEarly in the series, Floyd has a son and a wife, although in at least one episode (\"Floyd the Gay Deceiver\"), he says he is a widower.\n\nIn popular culture\n\nIn television \nOver the years, \"Floyd the barber\" has been used in a variety of television programming. Some examples include the following:\n\n In an episode of St. Elsewhere guest-starring Griffith cast member Jack Dodson, the characters make reference to the hospital's barber also named Floyd. \n On NBC's sitcom 30 Rock, Liz Lemon's recurring boyfriend, a recovering alcoholic, is named Floyd de Barber and played by Saturday Night Live cast member Jason Sudeikis. \n The FX series Sons of Anarchy featured a barber by the name of Floyd, first showing up in season one. \n In the Animaniacs episode \"Dough Dough Boys/Boot Camping/General Boo-Regard\", Wakko gets his hair cut by Floyd during boot camp. \n In the English dub of Digimon: The Movie, Matt and T.K. go to a barber shop, where the barber is addressed as \"Floyd\". In the closing credits, other characters in the barber shop are credited as \"Andy,\" \"Barney\", and \"Aunt Bea\".\n In the fourth-season episode of Arrested Development entitled \"Smashed\", during the \"haircut meeting\", Ron Howard refers to his barber as Floyd, remarking that he calls all of his barbers \"Floyd\". Howard was a fellow castmate in The Andy Griffith Show.\n\nIn music \n The Nirvana song, Floyd the Barber, from their debut studio album Bleach, imagines Kurt Cobain visiting the character's barber shop.\n\nThe \"real life\" Floyd \nWith the popularity of The Andy Griffith Show, interest in the influence of Mount Airy, NC as the inspiration for Mayberry grew. Russell Hiatt, a barber at Mt. Airy's City Barber Shop claimed to have cut Andy Griffith's hair, although this is disputed by Griffith. City Barber Shop was established in 1929, and Hiatt began working there in 1946. In 1989, the name was changed to \"Floyd's City Barber Shop\". Whether Hiatt actually cut Griffith's hair when the actor had yet to become famous is uncertain. Hiatt was only two years older than Griffith, so he would have had to have cut his hair before Griffith moved away from Mt. Airy to attend college in the late 1940s. Griffith and Hiatt would both have been teenagers at that time.\n\nReferences\n\nThe Andy Griffith Show characters\nFictional hairdressers\nFictional characters from North Carolina\nTelevision characters introduced in 1960",

"is a fictional character in the anime series Code Geass: Lelouch of the Rebellion produced by Sunrise, Inc. In the original Japanese dubbing, he is voiced by Takahiro Sakurai and his younger self is voiced by Akeno Watanabe.\n\nCharacter outline\nSuzaku Kururugi, born on July 10, 2000, a.t.b., is the son of Japan's last prime minister, Genbu Kururugi. His existence was kept secret from the public until after the war. Suzaku met Lelouch vi Britannia and his sister Nunnally vi Britannia when they moved to the Kururugi residence as a diplomatic peace trade. Initially, Suzaku thought Lelouch was a selfish prince and despised him. However, as time passed, he came to know Lelouch better, and they soon became best friends. They were separated when Britannia invaded Japan but were reunited in the Shinjuku Ghetto.\n\nWhen Britannia began its invasion of Japan, Suzaku was mortified by the violence and his father's belief that resisting to the bitter end was preferable to surrendering. Unable to change his father's mind, Suzaku murdered him during a heated exchange. The incident was covered up and Suzaku's life was spared, while the government was thrown into disarray and surrendered to Britannia. Lelouch believes that, had Genbu lived, Japan likely would have been torn apart by war once the other major powers decided to intervene. His guilt over the incident causes Suzaku to constantly place himself on the frontlines in the hope of atoning for his actions with his death. It also inspires his belief that the ends achieved with immoral means are meaningless since he created peace through murder. However, after firing the F.L.E.I.J.A. warhead, under the command of Lelouch's Geass, he abandons this belief and decides to achieve his goals regardless of the means. This causes him to finally join Lelouch.\n\nCharacter history\n\nFirst season\nSuzaku is introduced in the first episode of the series as an Honorary Britannian soldier. While searching the Shinjuku ghetto for poison gas stolen by resistance members, he finds Lelouch standing next to it. He refuses to carry out an order to kill Lelouch, and is shot by his superior officer for his insubordination. However, the bullet is stopped by a broken pocket watch belonging to his deceased father.\n\nWhile recovering from his injuries at the command center, Suzaku is approached by Lloyd Asplund and offered a chance to pilot the experimental Knightmare Frame Lancelot. The Lancelot's advanced systems combined with his unprecedented piloting skills allow him to almost single-handedly dismantle Lelouch's plan to rout the massacre of Shinjuku ghetto, but he finds himself under arrest afterward for the murder of Prince Clovis; though Lelouch was in fact responsible for this, the military used him as a scapegoat since they had no suspect, citing his Japanese heritage as motive in spite of his Honorary Britannian status.\n\nLelouch rescues Suzaku from his impending execution by assuming the identity of Zero and takes credit for Clovis' murder, forcing the military to acquit Suzaku, but Suzaku refuses to join his cause. He agrees that the Britannian Empire is corrupt and not worth serving, but wants to change and improve the Empire from within, to show that his father's death was not in vain.\n\nSuzaku remains the pilot of the Lancelot. He is reunited with Lelouch and Nunnally after enrolling into Ashford Academy at Euphemia's suggestion. He is promoted to Warrant Officer by Cornelia li Britannia when she first arrives in Japan, and is appointed Euphemia's personal Knight, gaining the rank of Major, after a televised battle with the Black Knights. This ruins Lelouch's plan to have Suzaku protect Nunnally when his role as Zero takes him away from Area 11. During the battle on Shikine Island, in which Suzaku is ordered to kill Zero, Lelouch is uses the power of Geass on Suzaku in order to escape destruction, and commands him to \"live,\" forcing him to survive by any means from then on.\n\nSuzaku falls in love with Euphemia, and is emotionally crushed by her death at Zero's hands. He is visited by V.V., who explains Zero's power of Geass, which drives him to find and kill Zero. He follows Lelouch to Kamine and confirms his identity, after trying to convince himself that Zero and Lelouch were not the same person. Lelouch offers Suzaku a truce in order to rescue Nunnally, but Suzaku insists that Lelouch's very existence should be ended. Lelouch draws his pistol and both men attempt to shoot one another, at which point the screen fades to black and the season ends with the sound of a single gunshot.\n\nAkito The Exiled\nSuzaku makes his debut in Episode 2 of the OVA, The Wyvern Divided. He was revealed along with C.C. during the preview of Episode 2. Suzaku is a Knight of Round in this OVA. He is seen accompanying Julius Kingsley, arriving at St. Petersburg. This was ordered by the Emperor. In OVA 3, Suzaku's Lancelot's shield is adorned with a custom made Knight Of Honor emblem to honor Euphemia.\n\nJulius and Suzaku were granted authority to take command of Euro Britannia thanks to the Imperial Scepter granted by the Emperor. Suzaku continues to show hostility towards Julius Kingsley. Later Julius launches his campaign \"World Liberation Ark Fleet\" as a ruse to causes chaos amongst the E.U. This causes a feud between the higher ups of E.U. regarding innocents and as a result, the Archduke of Verance was arrested thanks to Shin's support. While Julius and Shin were playing chess, Suzaku stood by until Julius started to breakdown. Shin later confirms that Julius is a terrorist Zero and that Suzaku is the greatest proof. Suzaku pointed a gun at him by refuting the fact and that Zero was executed by the Emperor, but regardless Shin started to deduce what happened back in the attack of Japan before becoming Area 11 by comparing him when they both killed their parents. The Knights of St Michael attacked to protect Shin but were completely outmatched against the Lancelot. His ruthless and devastating defeat of the knights gained him the title \"White Reaper\". While Suzaku is fighting Jean, Shin asks Suzaku what it takes to change the world. After sparing both Jean and Julius, they were imprisoned in OVA 4 with the Lancelot imprisoned and during that time Lelouch begins talking to Suzaku by hallucinating his past memories.\n\nIn the final OVA, Lelouch asks Suzaku for some water. Suzaku gives him the water jug, then he tries to avenge Euphemia by choking him to death. Lelouch begs him to kill him as Suzaku sees a tear from his Geass eye, but then he releases him, seemingly horrified by his own actions. Afterwards, Suzaku lets Lelouch rest his head on his shoulder. Suzaku and Lelouch are later released by Rolo, who tells them that the emperor wishes an audience with Lelouch. Suzuku knowing that Lelouch will get his memory wiped looked on depressed.\n\nSecond season (R2)\nIn the second season, Suzaku receives a promotion into the Knights of the Round, the most powerful order of warriors in the Britannian Empire, as a reward for capturing Zero. He intends to become the Knight of One, which will allow him to rule Area 11 by his choosing. He still holds his desire to kill Zero. However, he seems to still have some faith in Lelouch, and looks forward for a chance to clear his doubts about his friend by asking him about the incident with Euphemia.\n\nSuzaku and the other Knights of the Round watch as Zero announces that he will continue his plans to create the United States of Japan. Suzaku returns to Area 11 as a student in Ashford Academy to discover if Lelouch has regained his memories of being Zero. Unable to find any sort of sign, Suzaku lets Lelouch speak to the new Viceroy of Area 11, Nunnally, which also ends in failure thanks to Rolo Lamperouge using his Geass to freeze Suzaku temporarily. When Lelouch attempts to kidnap Nunnally as she is being brought to Area 11, Suzaku steps in to rescue her.\n\nZero later unexpectedly announces that he will accept Nunnally's offer in exchange for exile; this is revealed to be a clever ruse when Zero has all one million Elevens participating dress exactly like him, leaving Suzaku no choice but to exile the entire group to prevent another massacre.\n\nSuzaku is deployed to the Chinese Federation's capital, where the First Prince of Britannia and the Empress Tianzi are to be wed; however, Zero kidnaps the Empress during the ceremony. Britannian aid is requested in recovering the Empress, and Suzaku personally has Kallen Stadtfeld transferred into Britannian custody before heading into the battle.\n\nIn the aftermath of Shirley's death, Suzaku investigates Shirley's supposed suicide and comes to the conclusion that Lelouch murdered her. He decides to question Kallen about Zero's true identity, threatening to use Refrain if she does not cooperate. In the end, Suzaku does not use the Refrain, realizing that by doing so he would be no better than Lelouch. Frustrated, he goes to confront Lelouch personally and discovers that the Intelligence Agency is under the effect of Geass, confirming that Lelouch has regained his memories.\n\nAfter the creation of the United Federation of Nations is cut short by the Emperor's appearance, Suzaku is contacted by a desperate Lelouch, who asks him to protect Nunnally from the Emperor. Suzaku agrees to his request, but only if Lelouch meets him alone at the Kururugi shrine. The meeting goes well at first and Suzaku decides to help him if Lelouch ends his war, but Schneizel's unexpected attempt to arrest Lelouch makes him believe Suzaku went back on his word. During the second battle of Tokyo, Suzaku is attacked by Guilford under the influence of Lelouch's Geass and Jeremiah Gottwald who Lelouch convinced to join the Black Knights. Though both are drawn away from Suzaku, he is forced to battle Kallen in her improved Guren. Driven to the edge, Suzaku realizes he cannot win and comes to terms with his death as an atonement. In doing so, Suzaku's Geass command activates and forces him to use the F.L.E.I.J.A. bomb. Kallen dodges and the bomb instead hits the government complex, wiping out the entire government building and most of the surrounding area.\n\nRealizing that he has been naïve, Suzaku decides that the ends are more important than the means used to reach them and takes a more active approach to becoming Knight of One, offering to kill the Emperor for Schneizel. Schneizel agrees and Suzaku heads to Kamine Island to complete his mission, as well as kill the one responsible for the chain of events leading to Lelouch's actions and Euphemia's death. However, Suzaku is derailed by the Knight of One, Bismarck Waldstein, eventually submitting to his Geass and falling back. He later enters the Sword of Akasha with C.C. and agrees with Lelouch that the wishes of Charles and Marianne are selfish, even stopping Marianne from approaching Lelouch. One month later, he assists Lelouch in taking the throne, becoming his \"Knight of Zero.\"\n\nWhen the surviving Knights of the Round attempt to remove Lelouch from power, Suzaku easily defeats them with his new Lancelot Albion. He also assists in taking the U.F.N. leaders hostage. During the battle against Schneizel and the Black Knights, he joins Lelouch in boarding the Damocles, holding Gino off while Lelouch goes ahead. Suzaku comes out victorious, but Gino's last attack opens the shields and allows Kallen to take over. Kallen manages to land a fatal blow on the Lancelot while his last attack disables her Knightmare. The Lancelot explodes shortly after Kallen is rescued by Gino. Despite being nearly defeated in the duel itself, Suzaku is the one to attain the goal of the fight: to prevent Kallen from going after Lelouch, thus winning him the final victory and keeping the Zero Requiem on track.\n\nSuzaku is believed to have died in the blast, but he reappears before the world as the new Zero to kill Lelouch, now the despised tyrannical Emperor of the world, as part of their plan for world peace. With the Zero Requiem complete, Suzaku weeps silently as he impales Lelouch and watches him die. Lelouch gives Suzaku his final order: As punishment for betraying his native homeland many years ago and for all else he has done, Lelouch tells Suzaku that he is dead from that day on and must continue to exist as Zero, relinquishing his identity and the right to happiness for the sake of the world so long as he lives; an order Suzaku accepts. Afterwards Suzaku becomes Nunnally's protector in the following months, aided by Schneizel, who is still under a Geass command to obey Zero.\n\nLelouch of the Resurrection\nIn the events of the 2019 film Code Geass: Lelouch of the Re;surrection, which takes place a year after the events of the alternate universe trilogy movies, Suzaku is escorting Nunnally when they are captured by the Zilkhistans. Suzaku was imprisoned before being freed and reunited with Lelouch, who was resurrected from the dead by C.C. and who briefly resumes his cover as Zero long enough to save his sister and bequeaths the title back to Suzaku.\n\nAbilities\nWhile Suzaku possesses no outwardly superhuman powers, such as Geass, his physical prowess is top-notch. He possesses superior hand-eye coordination and has extensive military training in both firearms and hand-to-hand combat. He is also strong enough to lift both Lelouch and Shirley on his own with one arm. Before Britannia's invasion of Japan, Suzaku was trained by his instructor, Kyoshiro Tohdoh, in martial arts, and has spent most of his time training to become stronger. He is also skilled in the art of kendo. His trademark is a spinning kick first used on Lelouch in the first episode, which he is able to replicate in his Knightmare. His sensorial perception is likewise above normal: he is able to detect Kallen trying to sneak up on him twice and stops a dagger in mid-air without even turning to face it.\n\nSuzaku's physical prowess has been shown to be almost superhuman. In episode 16, he manages to destroy a ceiling-mounted remote machine gun while unarmed by running up a wall and kicking it (the gun's motion tracker was said to have a lag time of 0.05 seconds). He has also dodged machine-gun fire from Knightmares on multiple occasions. In the light novels, he is depicted at ten years of age as being able to defeat several adult men with a wooden training sword used in kendo.\n\nSuzaku is an extremely skilled pilot, rated at 94% operational efficiency by Lloyd based on his performance at the Shinjuku ghetto. Cécile also notes that his simulator scores were the highest of his class. His lack of any tactics confuses Lelouch, as he fights with reflex instead of strategy. The Lancelot's superior abilities also help, as few other Knightmare Frames can match its astonishing speed or overcome its considerable defenses. Even when Lelouch manages to predict his movements, Suzaku's reflexes allowed him to narrowly escape what would have otherwise been certain death.\n\nDespite not possessing a Geass power, Suzaku has the peculiar ability to detect C.C. and others who grant the power of Geass. C.C. speculates that this is either due to her having previously used her abilities on him, or another unidentified factor. Following episode 18 in the first season, Suzaku is also placed under a command by Lelouch to \"live.\" As this command gives no time or event limitations, it activates every time Suzaku feels suicidal (or otherwise accepts his death as an inevitability) and forces him to survive by any means. It also activates to a lesser extent when his life is in immediate danger. He is the only character other than Mao whom Lelouch has placed a permanent Geass ever to become aware of it, having been told so by V.V.. Suzaku eventually learns to intentionally trigger his Geass command to help unleash his full potential during combat. He used this ability to defeat Bismarck Waldstein and to deploy a countermeasure to the F.L.E.I.J.A. warhead in tandem with Lelouch, which contained a program that had to be executed within 0.04 seconds of detonation to have an effect.\n\nAppearances in other media\n\nLost Colors\nIn the video game spin-off Code Geass: Lost Colors, if the player uses Rai's geass on Suzaku to make him join the Black Knights, Suzaku joins and brutally fights off the Britannian forces. He also participates in the Black Rebellion, which has the Black Knights winning the war. However, in forcing Suzaku to join, the player angers Lelouch, who wanted to recruit Suzaku without using Geass. Lelouch puts Rai into an eternal sleep, resulting in a game over.\n \t\nThe player may choose to pursue Suzaku as a friend by joining the Britannian military. In the All Hail Britannia route, Rai becomes Suzaku's partner in battle and receives a Knightmare Frame of his own similar to the Lancelot. He may use his own Geass to stop Euphemia from ordering the infamous massacre portrayed in episode 22-23 under Lelouch's accidental Geass. After ordering the Princess to stop and then ordering the crowd to forget her order, Euphemia's plan to create the Special Zone of Japan succeeds. Rai and Suzaku are then known as the new country's two White Knights.\n\nIn the Black Knights path, if Rai stops Princess Euphemia from following through with Lelouch's accidental Geass (an alternate version to episode 22-23), Suzaku (who is standing nearby) will catch the princess as she suddenly collapses. She wakes up in his arms without any recollection of being under the control of Lelouch's Geass.\n\nNightmare of Nunnally\nIn the manga spin-off series, Suzaku's appearance is changed slightly. Some parts of his hair are down, and his eye color is blue instead of green. Both his knight outfit and his pilot outfit are also customized with a blue samurai arm gauntlet. Suzaku also owns his own Ōkatana with a custom Britannian hilt.\n\nSuzaku first appeared in chapter 7 of the manga series, and has received approval from Schneizel for Euphemia to have Suzaku as her knight. In the manga, Suzaku is shown to have an ability to sense the power of other people with Geass. When Suzaku first fought against Lelouch as Zero in his Lancelot Knightmare Frame, Lelouch noticed that his powers are negated, hinting that Suzaku might have another ability. This is further hinted in chapter 14, when he meets Alice; she notes it is impossible for anyone to sneak up on her, and when she shakes his hand, she notes later that she felt a chill. However, Suzaku doesn't appear to be aware of this, or indeed of Alice's abilities. In Chapter 13, it is revealed that in this timeline, Suzaku did not kill his father; C.C. did in order to protect Lelouch and Nunnally. Later, Suzaku is revealed to be a being known as a 'Wired' a being who can access the power of Eden Vital without entering into a Geass Contract and thus having the qualifications to become a 'Demon King' like Zero, but was shocked when the identity of Zero was revealed to be Lelouch.\n\nAfter the Mark Nemo pilot was captured, Suzaku was approached by Lelouch, who was shocked when he revealed the pilot was Nunnally and had no choice but to help him, and later passed the information to Euphemia. Suzaku, along with Lelouch as Zero, arrived on time to stop Nunnally from being executed by her other brother, Rolo Vi Britannia, on Euphemia's orders and proceeds to fight Rolo and his knight, Anya Alstreim, only to be defeated by Anya's Tristan Knightmare Frame. After Alice flees with Nunnally and Emperor Charles zi Britannia declares the Holy Nation of Eden Vital, Suzaku is arrested along with Euphemia, Cornelia as well as his comrades Guilford, Lloyd and Cecile. He is rescued by Zero and, despite his mistrust, helps him make Euphemia the Empress of Britannia. Having lost his original Lancelot, Suzaku deploys the Lancelot Albion with Zero in his Gawain against the Emperor's Knights of Rounds (who are revealed to be undead zombies). Suzaku and his Albion are almost defeated, but are saved by Charles' defeat. At the end of the series, Suzaku remains as Euphemia's knight and the two of them meet Lelouch for the last time when he appeared to them in Euphemia's office to bid farewell.\n\nSuzaku of the Counterattack\nIn the manga spin-off series shows, Suzaku as the main protagonist, wearing a bionic combat suit and going by the alias Lancelot. Suzaku also develops a close friendship with Lloyd's assistant Mariel Lubie, and later meets her father, Lenard Lubie, who requested Suzaku to take care of her.\n\nAfter a renegade Black Knights faction had attacked the Lubie automobile, which killed Lenard and injured Mariel when the wrecked car was destroyed, Suzaku is fueled in anger as he seeks to defeat Zero. Fulfilling Lenard's request, Suzaku is taking care of Mariel until she gets better.\n\nIt is revealed that he had killed his father Genbu, but it was done when Suzaku found out that he and the Emperor of Japan were willing to collaborate with Britannia and kill off anti-occupation Japanese officials and civilians. In a fit of anger, he stabs Genbu in the chest.\n\nWhen Suzaku meets Schneizel, he is moved by his words that he wished to create a world were everyone is equal, and offers Suzaku a position as his knight. Suzaku accepts, believing that Schneizel can end the fighting.\n\nWhen an art gallery, with the Emperor Charles, was in control by the Black Knight, Suzaku was sent by Schneizel to try and prevent any civilian from getting hurt and was surprised to find that Kallen was a member and revealed that she is half Britannian-Japanese, but left her when he realized that Zero is after the Emperor. When he arrived he saw not only the Emperor dead but saw Schneizel being shot by Zero, causing him to shoot shot his gun at his mask, which cracked and was shocked to see that it was Lelouch as Zero. When he demand why he did it, Lelouch replied that he only did it for the both of them. Suzaku find it hard to believe as the two point the gun at each other and fired, with Lelouch missed the shot and Suzaku shot away Lelouch's gun, but later one of the Glaston Knights shot at Lelouch and leaving him injured. Schneizel praises Suzaku for his efforts, but mentions the event that happened seven years ago, which he shouldn't have known about. Suzaku is torn over the decision to execute Lelouch, since it will take Nunnally's brother from her.\n\nLater Suzaku discovers C.C., who reveals that it was Schneizel, not Lelouch, who killed the Emperor. He plans to take C.C.'s immortality. Realizing that he's been serving the wrong man, Suzaku frees Lelouch to help confront Schneizel. Suzaku and Lelouch infiltrate the Government building and confront Schneizel, who has already absorbed some of C.C.'s powers, allowing him to easily dispatch them. With Schneizel about to fully gain C.C.'s powers and her immortality, Suzaku reveals himself as a Regulator, negating Schneizel's ability and then kills him with his sword. With Schneizel now dead, C.C.'s powers are instead transferred to Suzaku, now possessing all of her abilities and her immortality. With Suzaku and Lelouch preparing to leave with C.C., Jeremiah arrived and shot Lelouch before the floor collapsed and he fell to his death. Suzaku managed to save Lelouch and escape with C.C. before the entire Government building collapsed, with the fate of Lloyd surviving is unknown.\n\nFive years later with the Black Knights supposed victory, an immortal Suzaku went past a 22-year-old Kallen, still a member of the Black Knights, and arrived at a house, where Lelouch and Nunnally were then living, and happily greeted a surprised Lelouch, now 22 and his right eye covered with his hair.\n\nCode Geass (manga)\nSuzaku is present in the manga adaptation with many differences. He was already a student at Ashford Academy from the start. He was not present with Lelouch when C.C. was revealed to be in the capsule. Finally, he met Euphemia while at the Academy and not on the streets. He still believes that he can change the system from within.\n\nThe Miraculous Birthday\nIn a special Code Geass Picture Drama episode, Suzaku arrived at Ashford Academy with Nunnally, Shirley, and Nina, and had met with Lelouch, but also brought C.C. with him and commented if she's Lelouch's girlfriend, to which she replied that he proposed to her, and suggested a wedding being held at the Kururugi Shrine for them. However, a battle erupted in school grounds by the Neo-Chinese Federation and took everyone hostage.\n\nWhile everyone escape to the student council room, Lelouch thought of a plan to defeat the enemy, but requires assistance from the others, to which Suzaku agreed with the plan and went with Kallen. After defeating all of the Chinese soldiers in the school's east hall, the two reflect on each other's performance, with Kallen talking about Suzaku's spinkick move that he also used on the Lancelot, to which Suzaku revealed the name of his spinkick move to her as \"Hinoboru-ryu Makoto-ichi-Shiki Hurricane Kick\", to which he commented from his former Master, Kyoshiro Tohdoh, that most kids find it hard to say and named it \"Suzaku Kururugi spinkick\" instead, to which Suzaku has taken a shine to it. The two arrived at the school's chapel, acting as the Neo-Chinese's HQ, and confronted the leader, but was tricked and their souls were absorbed into mystic item known as the \"Thousand-man Silver Vase\". However, Suzaku manage to return to his body with Kallen, with help from Lelouch who used his Zero persona, and used his spinkick on the eunuchs.\n\nIn the aftermath, Suzaku watches Lelouch's body disappearing and was thanked by him before giving him an inspirational speech. When the group realized Rolo, Shirley, and C.C. were gone, Suzaku realized the date being December 5 being Lelouch's birthday. Suzaku once again donned his Zero persona and commented that he still will not say thanks to Lelouch because of everything that has happened, but still says Happy Birthday to him in respect.\n\nAnother Century's Episode: R\nThe fourth installment of the Another Century's Episode series, Another Century's Episode R will feature Suzaku with his Lancelot. The setting in his world will be an alternative version of the event of R2. A brief plot was revealed in the second promotional video in the official website and a short detail of the event set in the A.C.E. R main planet, Eria.\n\nSet in an alternative event of the second season of episode 06, Suzaku arrived with Gino and Anya when a Britannian ship was attacked by the Black Knights and were confronted by Kallen, and was overpowered by her. While Suzaku wishes to continue, Gino however convinced him to return to the Chinese Federation to regroup.\n\nAfter the eunuchs defeat in the Chinese Federation, Suzaku arrive with the three Rounds member, Gino, Anya, and Luciano, and a fleet of Britannian Knightmare Frames led by Schneizel. As they are about to fight the Black Knights an unknown black energy appeared and was suddenly transported to Eria, where he was separated with the other Britannian forces and the other Rounds, but manage to board the Avalon with Lloyed and Ceclie, who were also sucked in. In Eria, Suzaku and co have appeared on a mountain landscape, were Cecil discovered Zero near their area. After finding Zero, he encountered different mechs who are with him. Kei and Olson D. Verne from Super Dimension Century Orguss, and Kei ask whether he would join them, which Suzaku refuse because of their alliance with Zero and prepares to attack, but was interrupted by one of the Seasons, Spring One, in her Core unit, Sea Plant, with a group of Icon units. When Spring offered them allegiance, Suzaku hesitated because he will not forgive Zero, but will not trust anyone that would protect Zero, and he refuses. After Spring ordered the attack, Suzaku ordered the Avalon to assist Zero and his new allies. After her defeat and the appearance of more Icons, he and the others witness Macross Quarter from the Macross Zero series, with the Ark Alpha, and witness it destroying a fleet of Icon. As the Macross Quarter captain, Jeffrey Wilder, offered the group to join up with them, Zero agreed and asked Suzaku to come with them, which he hesitated but accepts.\n\nLater in their first mission together with Zero and the others, Suzaku and the others fought against Spring One in her Core unit, Sea Stand, which Autumn later delivered the final blow in her Core unit, Alpharto, causing Spring to escape. When Zero question if she is really human, Suzaku was surprised when Autumn revealed she isn't but an android.\n\nSuzaku, along with Alto Saotome and other mechs from the Macross Frontier, followed Brera Sterne, who had also sided with Seasons along with Grace O'Conner, to a ruined city, where he was shocked that Gino and Anya, along with some Britannian forces had sided with the Season. and tried to convince them to stop, which Gino replied if he enjoyed being a Black Knight and tells him to come to their side, leaving Suzaku in doubt. However, Zero manage to convince him that the battle is not about Britannia or Japan but their worlds, leading Suzaku to reject Gino's offer and fight alongside Zero and defeating both Gino and Anya.\n\nAs the plot progresses, The group later encountered a group of Gareth Knightmare Frames, along with the Knight of Ten, Luciano Bradley, and surprisingly Li Xingke, who have sided with Seasons. With Xingke beginning the assault, Suzaku, along with Zero, C.C. and Kallen, have fought and defeated him, but when Xingke was about to be killed by Bradley, Suzaku had blocked his attack and saved him, leading Xingke to switch sides and defeating Luciano, leading him to his death.\n\nSuzaku and Co then confronts the other four Season's in their Core units and later Dr. Shiki, in Winter's body, piloting the ACE Core. After his defeat and Autumn using all of her powers to prevent the hole to expand, Suzaku returns to his own world along with Zero, Kallen, and others. Suzaku was then requested by Zero that the two discuss, and later went their separate ways, knowing they'll be enemies again.\n\nAnother Century's Episode: Portable\nSuzaku appears in the sequel with his Lancelot Albion.\n\nSuper Robot Wars Z 2 Hakai-Hen\nSuzaku and the rest of the Code Geass R1 cast will make their debut to the Super Robot Wars franchise in this game, using their R1 Knightmares.\n\nNunnally in Wonderland\nIn a special OVA parody episode, based on the Alice in Wonderland story, Suzaku appears in the role as the White Knight.\n\nCreation\nSuzaku was mainly inspired by Star Wars character Luke Skywalker, who while starts innocent and noble with his with clothing and mecha, would become darker resulting in revisions to the uniform and mecha. Although Taniguchi was also inspired by Kamen Rider when creating Suzaku and Lelouch, their rivalry ended looking similar to the protagonists from Mobile Suit Gundam, Amuro Ray and Char Aznable.\n\nReception\n\nIn the 29th Anime Grand Prix, Suzaku was sixth place with 143 votes, then 19th and 13th, respectively, in the following two. In the 2007 Seiyu Awards, Takahiro Sakurai was a nominee in the category \"Best Actors in supporting roles\" for his portrayal as Suzaku, but lost to Akira Ishida and Kouki Miyata.\n\nCritical reception to Suzaku has been mainly positive. Anime News Network's Bamboo Dong regarded Suzaku as a likable character, contrasting his role and personality with Lelouch's. Kevin Leathers from UK Anime Network agreed with Dong, as Suzaku \"counter-balance[s]\" Lelouch's alterego due to how he does not wish violence. Moreover, IGN's D.F. Smith described Suzaku as Lelouch's \"opposite number\", and also gave praise to the friendship the two share. While reviewing an episode from the series, Ramsey Isler found comical and disappointing how was Suzaku forced to stay at school for extra hours having just finished a highly dangerous mission. His confrontation against Lelouch in the first season's finale was praised mainly because of Suzaku's mentality and his feelings regarding Zero's identity which he confesses he denied accepting such revelation. Kotaku found Suzaku as an interesting lead due to his irony of working for Britannia in order to change the Empire once taking over. While this causes to see himself as \"monster\" due to working for them, he maintains a good duality with Lelouch's methods which are seen similar too. As the series' second half goes across, Kotaku noted that Suzaku finds himself more tormented by his actions, mostly when he nukes Tokyo using military weapons forced by Lelouch's powers to survive to a fight. As a result, the site felt Suzaku sees himself as \"irredeemable\". His final actions in the series' finale were also the subject of praise due to how Suzaku and Lelouch decide to become \"evil\" in order to end the chaos and create a greater good.\n\nDVDTalk.com praised the handling of the first season's finale in regards to Suzaku's relationship with Lelouch who while, about to become allies, the a plot twist involving Euphemia causes a large impact in their roles in the story which might appeal to the audience. THEM Anime Reviews stated that their relationship is one of the most entertaining part of the movie as a result of how they are childhood friends yet across the story, they become enemies. The Fandom Post noted that Suzaku and Lelouch's relationship might attract female viewers so he recommended an anthology manga to them, praising the multiple designs presented.\n\nThe Fandom Post enjoyed how in Code Geass: Lelouch of the Re;surrection, Suzaku is still Lelouch's best friend. Meanwhile, Anime News Network noted that the film explored Lelouch's consequences in regards to the series' finale with Suzaku and C.C. being the only ones who took his side. On the other hand, Kotaku criticized Suzaku and Lelouch's role in the OVAs Akito the Exiled due to their lack of relevance while making the former angst for having the job of bodyguarding Lelouch during the time he hated him following the events of the first season.\n\nReferences\n\nExternal links\n Suzaku Kururugi at GoThumb\n\nMartial artist characters in anime and manga\nCode Geass characters\nFictional assassins\nFictional aviators\nTelevision characters introduced in 2006\nFictional characters with post-traumatic stress disorder\nFictional child soldiers\nFictional Japanese people in anime and manga\nFictional knights\nFictional majors\nFictional mass murderers\nFictional patricides\nFictional privates\nFictional regicides\nFictional special forces personnel\nFictional swordfighters in anime and manga\nMale characters in anime and manga\nOrphan characters in anime and manga\nTeenage characters in anime and manga\nFictional high school students",

Mayuri remained on the sidelines for the duration of the search out of disinterest, after he learns of Sosuke Aizen's betrayal.\n\nLater, Mayuri, Byakuya Kuchiki, Kenpachi Zaraki, Retsu Unohana and their subordinates head to Hueco Mundo. He saves Uryū and Renji Abarai from Szayel Aporro Granz, having an advantage against the Espada due to a bacterium he implanted in Uryū during their last fight that analyzed Szayelaporro's abilities. After defeating his controlled Zanpakuto while his opponent uses Nemu's body to reconstitute himself, Mayuri felt disappointed by the Arrancar's claims to have become a perfect being. As Szayelaporro's new body is paralyzed from exposure to one of the serums in Nemu's body dubbed the Superhuman Drug, Mayuri very slowly kills him while giving him a lecture on why scientists shouldn't claim or even want perfection. Soon after, Mayuri investigates Szayelaporro's laboratory to take what he can for his research before healing Uryū and Renji, followed by sending Ichigo Kurosaki and Unohana through the Garganta to the Fake Karakura Town. While explaining to Byakuya that he is more interested in seeing what specimens Hueco Mundo offers to him, Mayuri notes that he does have faith in Ichigo's ability to end the war. Once the fight against Aizen is settled, Mayuri attempts to seal off the Fake Karakura Town with their allies still inside but is stopped by his subordinates.\n\nAlmost a year later, Mayuri appears at a captain's meeting where he and Akon explain what they know about the Quincy group known as the Wandereich. Furthermore, Mayuri confirms that he ordered his squad to slaughter the 28,000 people in the Rukon to stabilize the Wandereich slaughtering Hollows while getting into a debate with Head Captain Yamamoto Genryusai over whose fault that such a deed needed to be carried out. Mayuri is further livid during the Wandereich's attack on the Soul Society when his fellow captains' lost their Bankai as a result of deciding to act on their own before he could completed his analysis on the enemy. Following the first invasion, meeting with Ichigo to discuss his broken Zangetsu, Mayuri locked himself away to continue his research on the Wandereich's Bankai stealing abilities with Urahara offering his assistance on the matter to develop a countermeasure to give the Soul Reaper captains who lost their Bankai an advantage. During the second Wandenreich invasion, Mayuri personally gets involved once interested in the abilities of Giselle Gewelle to turn living Soul Reapers into her zombie slaves while unveiling his own personal fighting team in the revived Arrancars Dordoni Alessandro Del Socaccio, Cirucci Sanderwicci, Luppi Antenor, and Charlotte Chuhlhourne. When Toshiro Hitsugaya appears as Giselle's zombie slave, Mayuri takes on the fellow Soul Reaper captain with the intent to test some of his serums on the youth. But by the time the zombified Rose, Kensei, and Rangiku arrive after Hitsugaya's defeat, Mayuri revealed that he devised a serum to alter the blood of the zombified Soul Reapers so they can only obey him. After having Giselle killed, while restoring Hitsugaya and Rangiku to normal, Mayuri takes Rose and Kensei to aid Byakuya in his fight against PePe Waccabrada.\n\nWhen Yhwach absorbed the Soul King's power, Mayuri and Kenpachi come across Pernida Parnkgjas in the transformed Royal Realm. After Pernida defeats Kenpachi, deeming the mysterious Wandenreich to be creepy for even him, Mayuri finds himself in a battle for his life after Perinda reveals himself to be the left arm of the Soul King. After his attempt to defeat Perinda with a variation of his Konjiki Ashisogi Jizō failed, realizing the arm is constantly evolving, Mayuri finds himself being protected by Nemu before she throws him over to a nearby building to watch her fight with the arm unfold. Though Nemu dies while having visions of being taunted by Szayelaporro, Mayuri saves his creation's brain from being eaten by Perinda so the Quincy would die an antagonizing death from her cellular makeup. In the series epilogue, Mayuri created a new Nemu.\n\nAbilities \nHis greatest ability is his scientific intellect. He's able to think many steps ahead of his opponents and has created numerous inventions to aid him in battle. He is also a master of Kido and has a very high level of Reiatsu.\n\nZanpakutō \nHis Zanpakutō is . When released with the command , Ashisogi Jizō's blade transforms into a deformed trident head. When it stabs an opponent, it emits a poison that severs the nerve signals that control limb movement, paralyzing that limb regardless of where it was struck. However, unlike normal paralysis, the affected area is still able to feel pain, something which is rather fitting for Mayuri's demented tendencies. Ashisogi Jizō's bankai, named , takes the form of a giant caterpillar with a baby's head and a silver halo. The creature breathes a poisonous derivative of Mayuri's blood which is lethal to anyone who breathes it, aside from himself and Nemu. It can also run through and skewer opponents with the multiple blades that erupt from its chest. Mayuri has physically modified his bankai so that it will self-destruct and return to its sealed state if it attacks him. It is also shown that Mayuri changes the poison he uses every time he shows his bankai. During his fight against Pernida, Mayuri reveals an alternate bankai called Konjiki Ashisogi Jizō: Makai Fukuin Shōtai, which is an enormous overweight infant-like creature that gives birth to a Konjiki Ashisogi Jizō specially designed to Mayuri's specifications against a certain opponent.\n\nAshisogi Jizo appears as a free Zanpakutō spirit in the Zanpakutō Unknown Tales anime arc as a small, baby-like creature with butterfly wings. As a final defensive measure, Mayuri can reduce himself to liquid form for three days by stabbing himself with his Zanpakutō. This leaves him unable to attack or be attacked, making it a very effective escape tool.\n\nOther media \nHe appears in almost every video games as a playable character and was in the first three Bleach films. In Bleach: The DiamondDust Rebellion, Byakuya, Jushiro Ukitake and Shunsui Kyoraku go to his lab to ask him if it's possible for people to have the same Zanpakuto. In Bleach: Fade to Black his lab is attacked and he is driven insane, with Nemu, the rest of Squad 12 and Kenpachi trying to get him under control before they're engulfed by a white liquid from one of the machines in his laboratory.\n\nReception \nMayuri ranked 28th place in the 3rd Popularity poll. His fight with Uryu was ranked 8th place in the Bleach Best Bout. His sword, Ashi Sogi Jizo was the 26th ranked zanpakuto in the 5th poll. \nMayuri has appeared in much merchandise including key chains, arm bands, and action figures.\n\nCarlo Santos of Anime News Network said that there was \"a certain amount of ridiculousness\" in watching Szayelapporo Granz and Mayuri try to get the upper hand on each other during their fight. However, he went on to say that Mayuri finishing the battle was a \"wonderfully jaw-dropping conclusion\" to Volume 34. D.F. Smith of IGN.com praised Terrence Stone's voice acting and noted that it's \"more than weird enough to match the character.\" Bryce Coulter characterized Mayuri as sinister, twisted and pragmatic. He also said that he was a creepy old man and an absolute freak, but an empirical scientist at heart.\n\nReferences \n\nAnime and manga characters who can move at superhuman speeds\nAnime and manga characters who use magic\nBleach characters\nComics characters introduced in 2003\nFictional biochemists\nFictional characters who can stretch themselves\nFictional characters with disfigurements\nFictional characters with energy-manipulation abilities\nFictional characters with extrasensory perception\nFictional characters with slowed ageing\nFictional child abusers\nFictional inventors\nFictional kenjutsuka\nFictional mad scientists\nFictional male martial artists\nFictional mass murderers\nFictional military captains\nFictional swordfighters in anime and manga\nFictional torturers\nMale characters in anime and manga\nMartial artist characters in anime and manga\nShapeshifter characters in comics",

"is the main protagonist of the light novel, manga and anime series KonoSuba. He is voiced by Jun Fukushima in Japan and by Arnie Pantoja in English-speaking regions. He was a shut-in NEET until being sent to a parallel world and became the leader of a new party. Initially shown to be cynical and sarcastic, he can show selflessness and compassion towards his friends and competence as a leader. His main goal is to defeat the demon king and his generals to return to Japan but slowly grows to realize the aspects of his new life.\n\nKazuma has generally received positive reception for his unique traits and as a deconstruction of isekai protagonist, being known as one of the best Isekai protagonists while his dry sense of humour and ad-libs done by Jun Fukushima are widely praised. Contrarily, he has also received some criticisms for some of his character traits and personality, especially his acts of perversion.\n\nCharacteristics \nKazuma is a Japanese teenager that initially dressed in a green and black tracksuit and later on, adorns a green cape with a golden stripe around the edges, a gray shirt with a white tunic, gray pants, dark brown boots with his natural attributes adorning brown hair and green eyes in the anime, while his design in the earlier volumes of the Light Novels had black hair and black eyes to match his Japanese origin but it was later changed to match his anime counterpart.\n\nKazuma's personality can vary as in some cases, he can be generally erratic and tends to insult or belittle others that annoy or insult him as he's initially shown to have a pessimistic and cynical attitude towards others. He can also display behaviors of rash characteristics with instances such as leading a counter attack against the Destroyer only to end up destroying a noble's house, thus warranting his arrest. Although sometimes, he can show kindness and leadership with his party and with others, at times willingly helping out someone such as when he willingly chose to help Aqua after one of the Demon King's generals made her sad or helping Darkness with her personal familial affairs. He is also shown to display levels of laziness and a pervert due to some of his antics with other characters. Despite all of this, it has been regularly shown that he cares for all of his companions and has earned the name of \"Tsundere\" from Megumin for refusing to acknowledge it. Kazuma is also shown to be selfless, such as the time when he could have made Megumin learn Advanced Magic that would have enabled her to become much more of a help to the party but instead chose to boost the power of her Explosion Magic as he did not want her to sacrifice her dreams. Through flashbacks, we learn that Kazuma became a shut in NEET after seeing his childhood friend who had promised to marry him in the future riding on a senior boy's bike which traumatized him to the point where he slowly avoided going to school and interacting with people. Almost all of Kazuma's romantic knowledge comes from the various anime, visual novels and other entertainment materials he used to consume in Japan, which made him pretty inept at responding to heartfelt feelings in the beginning but he later grew close to Megumin when she confessed to him and started a relationship of 'more than friends and less than lovers' with her when he acknowledged his own feelings to Megumin.\n\nAbilities \nHis signature weapon is his sword due being more experienced in short-range melee combat. He also uses other weapons like his bow which has precise aim using his snipe skill. He can also learn a variety of other skills from other classes such as Mana Swap, Freeze, Create Water and Steal. These abilities are usually taught by other characters of varying classes but can't learn any advanced skills due to his class. Despite his class limiting himself to just using basic skills, he has shown to combine them for a more powerful attacks such as combining his ice and water skills during his rematch with Kyouya Mitsurugi. Statiscally, Kazuma is shown to be average in most traits but has above average intelligence and abnormally high luck. Due to this, he managed to nearly put an entire casino into bankruptcy due to his consistent wins. However due to his class, Kazuma is typically slain multiple times throughout various points, usually prompting Aqua to revive him. Kazuma is most well known, however, for his underhanded tactics that he uses to compensate for his lack of raw power, such as creating earth and blowing it in the eyes of his enemies or using steal as a distraction. Thanks to his immense wealth that he gathers through the course of the series he also buys more expensive equipment such as high grade manatites to cast stronger spells.\n\nCharacter biography \nAs a shut-in NEET who has been heartbroken after an incident with his crush in middle school, Kazuma initially confined himself to his room playing video games and reading manga due to his lack in social confidence. This all changed after dying from acute stress reaction after attempting to save a classmate from a tractor which he mistook for a speeding truck. In the Heavenly Realm, he meets Aqua who makes fun of him over how he died and out of spite, he decides to take her to help him on his quest to defeat the Devil King. After having sufficient funds, their party grows after managing to recruit Megumin and Darkness into the party. Despite initially giving up on trying to defeat the Devil King, Kazuma and his party encounter the generals at different locations throughout various chapters in the story. During Volume 5 of the Light Novel, it is hinted that Megumin began developing romantic feelings for him and vice-versa. This later expands into a love triangle between him, Megumin and Darkness in the later volumes. Ultimately, Kazuma and Megumin engage in a state that was described as \"more than friends, less than lovers\".\n\nDuring Volume 6, Kazuma becomes exiled from the Kingdom of Belzerg after realizing the Chivalrous Thief was Chris and reluctantly admits failure. Due his dire situation, he agrees to assist Chris in infiltrating the royal castle after a conspiracy of the royal family begins to spread word. After figuring out that Chris was the goddess Eris, he agrees to help steal the Sacred Armor Aigis but while initially failing, they manage to get the armor after Eris reveals her true identity and the armor accepts her. After engaging and defeating the other Demon Generals, Kazuma and Aqua have a talk over whether to fight the Demon King. This results in Aqua running off and attempting to face the Demon King herself. Matters are made worse when his stats are reset to 1 but after discovering that due to a lack of personal skills, he could regain his levels quickly, he ventures to the hardest dungeon available with the assistance of Wiz and Vanir. After gaining his levels back in an acceptable stance, Kazuma sets off to defeat the Demon King and rescuing Aqua from any further peril. Despite having the option to return to Japan as initially promised, Kazuma chooses to stay in Belzerg along with the rest of his friends.\n\nIn other media \nKazuma along with other characters from his respective series make appearances in the gag-crossover Isekai Quartet. He also makes appearances within several KonoSuba video games, usually being a playable character or a main character. His most prominent video game appearance is in the side-scroller KonoSuba: God's Blessing on this Wonderful World! Revival of Beldia where he sets off to free Aqua, Megumin and Darkness from the possession of the Demon General Beldia. He also makes an appearance in the KonoSuba CD Drama although he is voiced by Ryōta Ōsaka.\n\nReception \nKazuma has generally received positive reception for his role in the story as a subversion of traditional Isekai cliches that were present at the time. Rebecca Silverman of Anime News Network gave similar praise, describing him as \"the most laid-back hero to find himself plopped down in a fantasy setting\". Lynn of The Otaku Author praised the comedic value of his luck stat, stating that his luck perfectly balanced out his other stats and complemented his shut-in lifestyle.\n\nWhile initially being more critical of Kazuma's characteristics, BanjoTheBear of The Chuuni Corner commended his nicer and comedic aspects. Similarly, Kazuma was praised by SD Pict for his character development, noting that he's gone a long way from a NEET to someone who's more outgoing and reliable. The character was also praised for the performance of Jun Fukushima. FandomSpot author R. Romero ranked him as the 3rd best Isekai protagonist in anime. MoviesRulz ranked him second among the 10 unluckiest isekai protagonists.\n\nKazuma has also been a nominee for the Best Boy category for the 2nd Crunchyroll Anime Awards. He has been frequently compared to Subaru Natsuki from Re:Zero − Starting Life in Another World due to their many similarities in terms of character and series premise. The comparisons were frequent enough to where they were noted in Isekai Quartet throughout several gags.\n\nReferences\n\nPrimary sources \n\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n\nKonoSuba characters\nLiterary characters introduced in 2012\nFantasy anime and manga characters\nFictional Japanese people in anime and manga\nMale characters in anime and manga\nTeenage characters in anime and manga\nFantasy (genre) adventurers\nFictional archers\nFictional assassins\nFictional characters displaced in other dimensions\nFictional chefs\nFictional exiles\nFictional gamblers\nFictional kenjutsuka\nFictional rope fighters\nFictional smiths\nFictional stalkers\nFictional swordfighters in anime and manga\nFictional thieves\nAnime and manga characters who can teleport\nAnime and manga characters who use magic\nFictional characters who can manipulate light\nFictional characters who can turn invisible\nFictional characters with absorption or parasitic abilities\nFictional characters with air or wind abilities\nFictional characters with earth or stone abilities\nFictional characters with electric or magnetic abilities\nFictional characters with extrasensory perception\nFictional characters with fire or heat abilities\nFictional characters with healing abilities\nFictional characters with ice or cold abilities\nFictional characters with water abilities\nFictional characters with superhuman senses",

"is the nickname of , a Japanese thief and folk hero who lived in Edo (present-day Tokyo) during the Edo period.\n\nHis exploits have been commemorated in kabuki theatre, folk songs, jidaigeki, and modern pop culture.\n\nCapture and tattoo\nIn 1822, he was caught and tattooed, and banished from Edo. On August 8, 1831, he was captured again, and confessed to the burglary of over 100 samurai estates and the impressive theft of over 30,000 ryō throughout his 15-year career. He was tied to a horse and paraded in public before being beheaded at the Suzugamori execution grounds. His head was then publicly displayed on a stake. He was buried at Ekō-in located in the Ryōgoku section of Tokyo. So many pilgrims have chipped away pieces of his tombstone for charms that his headstone has had to have been replaced a number of times since his death.\n\nBackground\nAt the time of the arrest, Jirokichi was found to have very little money. This, combined with the public humiliation he dealt out to the daimyō, resulted in the popular legend that he gave the money to the poor, turning the petty crook into a posthumous folk hero similar to Robin Hood. The fact that he died alone, serving his wives with divorce papers just prior to arrest in order to protect them from sharing in the punishment as the law decreed, further enhanced his stature.\n\nNickname\nJirokichi's nickname Nezumi Kozō roughly means \"Rat Kid\".\n\nThe word nezumi means \"rat\" or \"mouse\" and kozō translates to \"kid, brat\".

", better known as , is a Japanese comedian represented by Office K. He is best known for appearing on the very controversial reality television show Susunu! Denpa Shōnen.\n\nDenpa Shōnen teki Kenshō Seikatsu \nHamatsu was challenged to stay alone, unclothed, in an apartment for Susunu! Denpa Shōnen (January 1998 – March 2002), a Japanese reality-television show on Nippon Television, after winning a lottery for a \"show business related job\". He was challenged to enter mail-in sweepstakes until he won ¥1 million (about $8,000) in total. He started with nothing (including no clothes), was cut off from outside communication and broadcasting, and had nothing to keep him company except the magazines he combed through for sweepstakes entry forms. After spending 335 days to reach his target, he set the Guinness world record for the \"longest time survived on competition winnings\".\n\nHamatsu lived in front of the camera, with only the possessions he won via the sweepstakes (save for basic utilities such as running water, heating and electricity), and the stacks of postcards and magazines required for entering the sweepstakes. Due to his nudity, an eggplant cartoon graphic covered his genitals when Hamatsu was standing on camera. Nasubi is the Japanese word for \"eggplant\"; the nickname was chosen due to his 30 cm long face that was said to be shaped like a Japanese eggplant, as well as the producers having to cover his genitals with an animated eggplant for the television audience. Hamatsu believed that he was being recorded and the show would be re-broadcast later once the footage had been gathered. In reality, the experiment was being live-streamed, with footage compiled and re-aired each week, complete with sound effects present at frequent intervals, using new tech to have 24/7 television to show him live using a joystick to cover up his genitals.\n\nAt first, he received no food at all, drinking only water and losing weight. Eventually, he won some sugary drinks from his sweepstakes entries. Later on, he won a bag of rice, but having not won any pots or containers with which to heat it, he was forced to eat it raw, and after devising a makeshift heating container with a discarded bag, he was able to cook the rice by placing it next to the lit stove. However, canned and kibble dog food became his primary food source for some time after running out of rice. After winning a stuffed toy in a sweepstake, he carried on conversations with it as his sensei, as it was his only sort of interaction. He never won clothing he could wear (only ladies' underwear that was too small for him to use), nor did he ever win anything to trim his growing facial hair and fingernails. He also won other prizes he was unable to use, like movie tickets and a bicycle (both of which would have required him to exit the apartment to utilize). However, he soon adapted the latter into a stationary bike. When he won a television set, he was unable to use it at first, as there was no cable or antenna hookup in the apartment (intentional by the producers out of fear he would discover he was already on TV). He would then win a PlayStation game, a copy of the train simulator title Densha de Go!, alongside the controller needed to play it.\n\nBy this time, the show had become so popular within Japanese households, that people were starting to decipher the location of his flat, with paparazzi, fans, and even the press standing outside without Hamatsu knowing it. As such, producers were forced to procure a new space far away from the original location. He was transported blindfolded, and upon uncovering his eyes, he discovered a similar living space, along with all his previously won possessions. When he questioned if he had completed the challenge, he was instead told the change of space was for his new address for \"renewed luck\". As such, he continued writing sweepstake entries, with a large chair and desk becoming his first items acquired in his new place he was kept. However, he was moved into yet another space after a long streak of misfortune in his entries. In this new space, his TV set became useful when he later won a VCR, which could be used with two previous tapes he had won, and would later win a proper PlayStation. He would end up playing his game for multiple days straight, ultimately forcing himself to stop in order to keep entering sweepstakes, collecting donations & achieve his objectives. \n\nAfter winning a set of 4 car tires worth around 84000¥, he closed upon his goal, which he finally achieved with a bag of rice, 335 days after starting. After being informed of his victory, he was given back his clothes, blindfolded and taken to a surprise location. Hamatsu happily went along believing he was going to get a special prize for his year of hard work. After they removed his blindfold, he found himself in South Korea. He was given a day at an amusement park, where he was able to enjoy Korean food and ride on the park's multiple attractions. However, after finishing, he was taken to another apartment. He was once again asked to take off his clothes and challenged to enter sweepstakes. Although the producers said that if he did not want to do it, he did not have to, he still agreed. This time to win enough money to afford a flight with Japan Airlines to return home. However, when Hamatsu quickly met this goal after several weeks of entering competitions, it was revised multiple times, first to afford a ticket in business class, then first class; these goals were also met in a matter of weeks. When he had won enough to return to Japan he was blindfolded, clothed and taken to another apartment in Japan. When the blindfold was removed, he looked around, and instinctively took his clothes off, expecting to continue the challenge. However, the walls of the apartment fell away to reveal that he was actually in a TV studio with a huge live audience. Hamatsu was confused by this because he thought the show had not yet been broadcast.\n\nThe entire ordeal lasted about 15 months, during which time his diaries on his experience of being locked away from the outside world became a best seller in Japan, and the TV show broke all records with 17 million viewers each Sunday night.\n\nHe reported being hot and sweaty wearing clothing for the first six months after his ordeal and had difficulty carrying on conversations for a long time.\n\nIn April 2020, Hamatsu tried persuading people to cooperate with the self-disciplined stay-at-home order during the wake of the initial COVID-19 outbreaks by citing his own personal experience with self-isolation.\n\nOther activities\nAfter the rigors he went through in order to become a famous comedian, Hamatsu was unable to succeed in the variety TV world.

"In 2023, it was revealed that Johnny Kitagawa, the founder of the Japanese talent agency Johnny & Associates, had committed sexual abuse from the early 1970s until the mid-2010s. Considered one of the most powerful figures in the Japanese entertainment industry, Kitagawa held a virtual monopoly on the creation of boy bands in Japan for more than 40 years. No criminal charges were ever filed against him, as the Japanese media had covered up the sexual abuse without reporting it at all.\n\nFrom 1988 to 2000, Kitagawa was the subject of a number of claims that he had taken advantage of his position to engage in improper sexual relationships with boys under contract to his talent agency. Kitagawa denied these claims, and in 2002 was awarded an judgment against Shukan Bunshun, the magazine that had published such allegations. An appeal by the magazine followed, resulting in a partial reversal of the judgment. The Tokyo High Court reduced the damages to , concluding that the reports of drinking and smoking were defamatory but that the allegations of sexual exploitation of adolescent boys by Kitagawa were true. A 2004 appeal to the Supreme Court by Kitagawa was rejected. The case saw minimal coverage in Japan, with many journalists attributing it to Kitagawa's influence on Japanese mass media.\n\nIn 2023, four years after his death, his sexual abuse was revealed publicly for the first time after a report in August that year concluded that he committed sexual abuse from the early 1970s until the mid-2010s, including the rape of hundreds of boys who were members of Johnny & Associates before their debut. The report came after sexual abuse claims against Kitagawa had received renewed attention following a BBC documentary and further allegations being made by musician and former Johnny's Jr. member Kauan Okamoto earlier in the year. It was also revealed that the rape was covered up by the Japanese media.\n\nAs of 2023, a reported number of 478 persons have claimed to have been victimized by Kitagawa, of those, 325 sought compensation, and only 150 have been confirmed to have belonged in the company. Later in the year, it was revealed that Johnny & Associates would be renamed to SMILE UP, and that that anything bearing the name \"Johnny\", such as related companies and performing groups, would undergo changes to remove any trace of Kitagawa's name.\n\nAllegations during Kitagawa's lifetime\n\nInitial claims \nIn the early 1960s, Kitagawa was accused of sexually assaulting students at Shin Geino Gakuin, a talent training school located in Toshima Ward, Tokyo.\n\nIn 1988, , a former member of Four Leaves, published a series of diaries under the title . Kita wrote that Kitagawa had used his position of influence over the group to make unwanted sexual advances towards the boys under contract to him. Similar allegations were made in a book published in 1996 by Junya Hiramoto, a former member of another of Kitagawa's bands. Hiramoto alleged that he had seen Kitagawa force a boy to have sex with him in one of the talent agency's dormitories. \n\nIn 1999, the weekly magazine Shūkan Bunshun printed a ten-part series that detailed numerous allegations of sexual improprieties. The accusers were a dozen teenage boys who had been recruited into the Johnny & Associates organization, who spoke on condition of anonymity. In addition, the series accused Kitagawa of permitting minors in his employ to drink alcohol and smoke.\n\nLawsuit \nYoshihide Sakaue, a member of the House of Representatives, held a hearing on the matter in April 2000. Sakaue said that as a result of the media coverage, and in response to a request from a constituent, he wanted to examine whether government officials had properly investigated complaints about Kitagawa. Officials of the National Police Agency acknowledged that they had investigated Kitagawa's agency, but had not determined that sexual harassment had occurred. Officials indicated that Kitagawa's company was warned about permitting minors to use alcohol and smoke cigarettes. \n\nThe National Police and Welfare Ministry indicated that under the Ministry's understanding of the law, even if the allegations against Kitagawa were true, the acts could not be considered child abuse because Kitagawa was neither parent nor guardian to the boys in his employ. Officials testified that neither the boys nor their parents had pursued a criminal complaint against Kitagawa. Kitagawa denied any wrongdoing, and his attorney characterized the claims as being from disgruntled former employees voicing discontent. Kitagawa sued Shūkan Bunshun for libel. \n\nOther than Shūkan Bunshun, none of the major Japanese media covered the story of the allegations against Kitagawa, the hearing in Parliament, or the Kitagawa lawsuit. The New York Times attributed this lack of coverage to Kitagawa's influence over the popular media. Once Shūkan Bunshun began publication of the series, Johnny & Associates denied the magazine, and the other media owned by its parent organization, access to any of its performers.\n\nAfter protracted litigation, in 2002 the Tokyo District Court awarded Kitagawa an 8.8 million yen judgment against Shūkan Bunshun, finding that the articles defamed him. Shūkan Bunshun appealed the ruling. In a partial reversal of the district court, the Tokyo High Court in 2003 ruled that the Shūkan Bunshun series did in fact defame Kitagawa. However, it ruled that the defamatory content of the articles was limited to the allegations that Kitagawa had provided minors with alcohol and tobacco products. The court found that the Shūkan Bunshun had sufficient reason to accept as trustworthy, and publish, the sexual allegations by Kitagawa's former clients. Kitagawa appealed this decision to the Supreme Court. In 2004, the court rejected his appeal. The case saw minimal coverage in Japan, with many journalists attributing it to Kitagawa's influence on Japanese mass media.\n\nPosthumous allegations and 2023 scandal\n\nShortly after Kitagawa's death in July 2019, Shūkan Bunshun posted another sexual assault allegation from a former Johnny Jr. member, who alleged that his first kiss was with Kitagawa, and that because he resisted his advances, he was relegated to the corner of the stage during performances. In January 2021, Koki Maeda, a former member of 7 Men Samurai, stated through an interview with Arama! Japan that he was \"certain\" there were sexual relations between Kitagawa and Johnny's Jr. because he \"had the privilege of deciding who deserved to debut\". Moments after the interview was published, Maeda recanted his statement.\n\nIn March 2023, the BBC released a documentary centered on the sexual abuse claims against Kitagawa, Predator: The Secret Scandal of J-Pop, presented by Mobeen Azhar. In response, Johnny & Associates stated that they were creating \"transparent organizational structures\" that would be announced later in the year.\n\nIn April 2023, musician and former Johnny's Jr. member Kauan Okamoto told a press conference held at the Foreign Correspondents' Club of Japan that he had been subjected to sexual abuse by Kitagawa on a number of occasions between 2012 and 2016, and called on the management to acknowledge the misconduct. Okamoto estimated that between 100 and 200 boys were invited to Kitagawa's home during his time at Johnny's, and claimed that when Kitagawa told one of his guests to go to bed early, everyone knew \"it was your turn\". In response to Okamoto's press conference, Johnny & Associates released a statement saying that it would \"continue its unified effort to thoroughly ensure compliance without exception, and tackle strengthening of a system of governance,\" but the company did not directly address the allegations at the time. Later that month, NHK reported that Johnny & Associates was interviewing their employees and talents, and had sent a document out to business partners saying that they were looking into the allegations. The document said that the company took the allegations seriously and that their investigations so far had uncovered no cases of misconduct, adding that they were aware that such in-house interviews were not enough to uncover the truth. After the press conference, NHK reported on the abuse on April 13. This was the first television report on the scandal by NHK. It was broadcast for two minutes at 4 p.m.\n\nOn May 14, 2023, Julie Keiko Fujishima, Kitagawa's niece and president of Johnny & Associates, issued an apology to those who had alleged sexual abuse by Kitagawa. She added that she was committed to implementing measures addressing the victims' needs. Two days after Johnny & Associates released their statement, Okamoto and the former Johnny's Jr. Yasushi Hashida, along with Okamoto attended a parliamentary meeting at the National Diet organized by the Constitutional Democratic Party. Hashida said that he was sexually abused around twice by Kitagawa when he was 13 years old. Both Hashida and Okamoto credited coverage of the sexual abuse allegations by the foreign press as being key to paving the way for its coverage in the domestic press.\n\nIn July 2023, the United Nations Human Rights Council investigated Kitagawa's abuse at the agency. An independent probe established by Johnny & Associates reported the findings of their investigation on August 29, 2023, saying that Kitagawa repeatedly committed sexual abuse from the early 1970s until the mid-2010s. They recommended that Fujishima resign from her post as company president, and that the company must accept the claims of abuse and make amends for them. On September 7, 2023, Johnny & Associates formally acknowledged Kitagawa's abuse for the first time. Fujishima resigned, and former Shonentai's member Noriyuki Higashiyama took over as CEO. However, Higashiyama is also alleged to have told a Johnny's Jr. member to \"eat my sausage\" in the past.\n\nRyoichi Hattori's son Yoshitsugu and his friend Motoyasu Matsuzaki said that Kitagawa sexually abused them as children in the 1950s.\n\nAftermath \nOn 6 September 2023, Guinness World Records decided to remove Kitagawa's achievement of producing the most top songs on the pop music chart from its official website. However, they did not eliminate his record titles, as he was never convicted. This decision was accepted as a wise decision by the newly appointed president of Johnny & Associates, Higashiyama. Companies such as Suntory and McDonald's which had previously contracted with Johnny & Associates for advertising or promotional campaigns decided to either retract or not renew their contracts with Johnny's artists as a response to the Kitagawa scandal. Suntory demanded plans of prevention and reparations for the victims as prerequisites of reestablishing partnership.\n\nSeveral major news outlets, including NHK, Nippon TV, TV Asahi, TBS, TV Tokyo and Fuji Television, issued statements in recognition of their years of silence that effectively allowed Kitagawa's sexual abuses to continue unabated. Bungeishunjū and Mobeen Azhar were awarded in 2023 by the Foreign Correspondents' Club of Japan (FCCJ) for their coverage of the scandal. The FCCJ likened this scandal to the assassination of Shinzo Abe, citing media silence on the systemic abuses by organizations close to powerful figures.\n\nCompany renaming \nSeveral Japanese news outlets reported on October 1, 2023 that Johnny & Associates was considering creating a new company to manage its performers, while the current Johnny & Associates would change its name and continue to exist for the purpose of compensating abuse victims. It was also reported that Noriyuki Higashiyama, who became the head of Johnny & Associates after the resignation of Julie K. Fujishima, was also expected to head the new company. On October 2, Johnny & Associates held a press conference to outline their plans, announcing that they would be renaming the current company to SMILE UP–taking a name that they had used in their 2020 charity project–effective October 17. SMILE UP will continue to exist under the ownership of Fujishima and will eventually close down once all sexual abuse compensation requests, which numbered 325 at the time of the announcement, have been processed.\n\nHigashiyama told reporters that performers working under the new, yet-to-be-named management company \"will have the freedom to pursue their own career paths without being restricted or entirely dependent on the company.\" It was also announced that anything bearing the name \"Johnny\", such as related companies and company sections like Johnny's Island and J-Storm and performing groups such as Johnny's West and Kanjani Eight, would undergo changes to remove any trace of the Johnny's name. Higashiyama said that \"all things with the Johnny's name will have to go,\" while Fujishima, who did not attend the October 2 press conference, said that she wanted to \"erase all that remains of Johnny from this world.\"\n\nSee also \n\n Jimmy Savile sexual abuse scandal\n Bill Cosby sexual assault cases\n Harvey Weinstein sexual abuse cases\n Jeffrey Epstein sex trafficking scandal\n R.

"is a Japanese entrepreneur who founded Livedoor, a website design operation that grew into a popular internet portal. After being arrested and charged with securities fraud in 2006, he severed all connections with the company. His trial began on September 4, 2006. On March 16, 2007, Horie was sentenced to imprisonment of 2 years and 6 months.\n\nHe is popularly known as due to his resemblance to Doraemon, the chubby robot cat in a popular Japanese cartoon. The name Horiemon was also given to a racehorse he owned, after the name had been chosen by voting on a Livedoor website.\n\nEarly life \nHorie was born in Yame, Fukuoka Prefecture, Japan, and was raised in a respected household by a corporate father and mother from a farming landlord family.\n\nHe was a student at the department of literature at the University of Tokyo and was going to major in religion, but dropped out after establishing a company called Livin' on the Edge in 1995 with friends and classmates, which became the precursor to Livedoor.\n\nBusiness career \nIn 2004, Horie tried to buy the Kintetsu Buffaloes baseball team. The team rejected the offer, but the incident put him in the national spotlight.\n\nHorie was criticized by conservative business circles in Japan for his unconventional manner – everything from his informal attire to the practice of corporate expansion through hostile takeover. \n\nIn 2005, Horie founded Interstellar Technologies rocket company.\nHorie unveiled a plan for space tourism at the 56th International Astronautical Congress in Fukuoka in 2005. The spacecraft he planned to develop was based on the design of the Russian TKS spacecraft. Horie said that he planned to invest in space development and that he wanted to launch a manned rocket within five years. The project was called \"Japan Space Dream – A Takafumi Horie Project\".\n\nAs a business owner of wagyu-promoting organization and a writer of food-related books, Horie has been known for his several remarks against veganism and vegetarianism where he commented on his Twitter as I don't want to see the world being turned into somewhere we can't eat delicious meats because of these people, and I will crush them thoroughly., triggering further controversies.\n\nPolitical career \nHorie announced on August 19, 2005, that he would run in the snap 2005 general election as an independent in the Hiroshima sixth district. He contemplated running as an official LDP candidate against LDP rebel Shizuka Kamei, but chose instead to run as an independent, while keeping the support of the LDP leadership. He lost the election and returned to Tokyo to continue his business career. Kamei won the election in a rather close count of 110,979 to 84,433.\n\nIn May 2020, Takashi Tachibana founded the Horiemon New Party, named after Horie and using his likeness in their campaign ads. However, Horie has disclaimed any connection to the party and is not running as a candidate.\n\nArrest and imprisonment for securities fraud \nJapanese prosecutors raided the offices of Livedoor and Horie's home in January 2006 on suspicion of securities fraud. The government cited several instances of apparent market manipulation, including a Livedoor subsidiary announcing it would acquire a company that it already controlled, using misleading investment partnership accounting and artificially inflating the value of Livedoor stock through stock splits to fund acquisitions. There were also rumors that Livedoor was involved in money laundering for the yakuza or for politicians, as the company had been found to have moved large sums of money into fictitiously-named Swiss bank accounts. The veracity of the suspicions aside, many smelled conspiracy given the timing of the action. It was seen as a political move by defenders of the status quo to punish Horie for daring to challenge them, and to discredit him and the business practices he had come to represent, which Horie's opponents considered distasteful and \"un-Japanese\".\n\nLivedoor's share price fell 14.4 percent in one day, with sell orders so numerous that trading volume prompted the Tokyo Stock Exchange to close 20 minutes early for the first time in its history. The Nikkei index lost 465 points, its largest drop in nearly two years; the ramifications were felt in other markets around the world, especially in Asia. Horie's net worth was estimated to have fallen from $1.3 billion in December 2005 to $280 million in June 2006.\n\nHorie was arrested by Tokyo district public prosecutors on January 23, and on January 24, he announced his resignation as CEO. On April 27, 2006, he was released on ¥300 million bail on the condition that he refrain from any contact with Livedoor or its employees. Horie said he would not participate in the company's management again. Though indicted on charges of fabricating financial reports and spreading false information to investors, he continued to assert his innocence. His trial for securities fraud began on September 4, 2006. Prosecutors sought a four-year prison sentence for Horie, who pleaded not guilty. In March 2007, he was found guilty of falsifying the company's accounts and misleading investors and was sentenced to 2 years and 6 months imprisonment. He appealed the punishment, but the Supreme Court of Japan on April 26, 2011 upheld the sentence.\n\nHorie maintained a digital newsletter from his prison cell and communicated with the outside world through staffers who posted to Twitter on his behalf. He lost more than 60 pounds while in prison, which he attributed to the bland food served there. He was released on parole in March 2013 after 21 months behind bars.\n\nHorie now promotes his own portfolio of businesses through his company, SNS. He showcases other people's big ideas through his large social media network, and his website horiemon.com.\n\nReferences\n\nExternal links \n Horie Blog\n\n1972 births\nLiving people\nJapanese billionaires\n20th-century Japanese businesspeople\n21st-century Japanese businesspeople\nJapanese chief executives\nJapanese fraudsters\nJapanese political candidates\nJapanese racehorse owners and breeders\nJapanese socialites\nPeople from Yame, Fukuoka\nSpace tourism\nUniversity of Tokyo alumni",
", known as Kaoru Kamiya in the Media Blasters English-language dub and Kori Kamiya in the English Sony Samurai X dub, is a fictional character in the Rurouni Kenshin manga created by Nobuhiro Watsuki. In the story Kaoru is the instructor of a kendo school in Tokyo, . The students leave when many people are killed by someone claiming to be the from the Kamiya Kasshin-ryū\", damaging the school's reputation. Kaoru is saved from the murderous impostor by the real Battōsai, Himura Kenshin, now a wanderer who has sworn to stop killing. During the series, Kaoru grows fond of Kenshin due to his good actions to society and becomes his ally.\n\nKaoru also appears in the film version of the series and other media of the franchise, including electronic games and a series of original video animations (OVAs). Although Watsuki wanted to design Kaoru \"more cutely\" and to be \"more fashionable\", he toned down those qualities and made her poor and \"down-to-earth\". There was concern that Watsuki would kill her off, with her critical reception having been mostly positive.\n\nAppearances\n\nRurouni Kenshin\n\nKaoru is the instructor of the Kamiya Kasshin martial-arts school. She inherited her fighting style and a small dojo from her father, who was drafted by a police swordsmen unit and died defending a comrade during the Seinan War. At the beginning of the story, Kaoru has no students and runs the dojo alone; she seems likely to lose it when Kenshin helps her. Despite occasional mood swings and a reputation for bad cooking, she is independent, compassionate, courageous and a good fighter. In her first appearance, Kaoru searches for the assassin Hitokiri Battosai, who claims to be from Kamiya Kasshin-ryu. Kaoru is saved by the real Battosai, Himura Kenshin, and invites him to her dojo. One of her greatest fears is that Kenshin might return to wandering, leaving her alone again, and she is jealous if another girl (such as Takani Megumi) is interested in him. In the series' first story arc, Kaoru gains a student (Myojin Yahiko) and loses one (Tsukayama Yutaro).\n\nWhen the Meiji government requests Kenshin's aid to kill the former Hitokiri Shishio Makoto, he bids Kaoru an emotional farewell and leaves for Kyoto. Kaoru falls into a depression before she follows him to Kyoto after a pep talk from Megumi. With the Oniwabanshu's Makimachi Misao, she defeats one of Shishio's Juppongatana: Honjō Kamatari.\n\nIn Tokyo, after Kaoru learns about Yukishiro Enishi's plans to kill everyone connected to Kenshin she teaches Yahiko the ougi of the Kamiya Kasshin. Enishi says that his goal is not to kill Kenshin, but to make him suffer by killing the person most important to him: Kaoru. He kidnaps her, leaving a replica of her dead body. Convinced that he again failed to save the one who was most important to him, Kenshin flees to the Fallen Village and falls into a catatonic depression. When he learns that Kaoru is alive, he and the group rescue her from Enishi. They marry and have a son, Himura Kenji. Five years later, after taking in Hasegawa Ashitaro, Inoue Aran, and Kubota Asahi into the Kamiya dojo, Kaoru receives information from them that her father is presumably alive and living in Hokkaido, prompting her and her family to travel there in the hopes of reuniting with him.\n\nOther media\nIn Rurouni Kenshin: Reflection, although Kenshin and Kaoru are married he begins wandering again because he needs to help others; he returns every couple of years. Kaoru lets him go, promising to welcome him home with a smile and their child. Kenshin develops a mysterious disease, and Kaoru convinces him to transmit it to her. He leaves to help people in the First Sino-Japanese War, as he had promised the Meiji government. When he returns to Japan, Kenshin collapses in Kaoru's arms and dies. In the pilot issue of Rurouni: Meiji Swordsman Romantic Story, first published in 1992, Kaoru is the sister of Megumi and Yahiko. Many of the character's details changed in her transition to mainstream manga. Kaoru appears in all Rurouni Kenshin video games (including Jump Super Stars and Jump Ultimate Stars), primarily as a supporting character. In the manga reboot Rurouni Kenshin: Restoration, Kaoru works for Takeda Kanryū to regain her dojo. After Kenshin defeats Takeda, she continues living in the dojo with Kenshin and his friends. Kaoru was played by Emi Takei in 2012's Rurouni Kenshin and its three sequels.\n\nConcept\nWatsuki said that he used \"no specific model\" and \"no specific motif\" in designing Kaoru, saying that if he had to name one model it would be Chiba Sanako of Ryōma no Koibito. He wanted to include the \"commanding\" qualities of from Shōtarō Ikenami's Kenkaku Shōbai (剣客商売). According to Watsuki, Kaoru is a \"plain, regular girl\" despite her commanding qualities. By the first Japanese compilation, he thought that the character worked and many female Rurouni Kenshin readers identified with Kaoru. At the time, Watsuki had not decided if Kaoru would be Kenshin's love interest. Although he wanted to design Kaoru \"more cutely\" and to be \"more fashionable\", he toned down those qualities and made her poor and \"down-to-earth\". The artist described her ponytail as \"de rigueur\" for a girl practicing kendo. According to Watsuki, he enjoys drawing Kaoru but filling in her hair is \"sometimes a pain.\" At the end of Rurouni Kenshin, Kaoru received a new hairstyle. Watsuki felt that Kaoru would look odd without her ponytail, but her original hairstyle did not look maternal and he changed it for the ending. When female readers asked Watsuki if Kaoru was a strong fighter, he called the character \"quite independent for her age\" who could \"hold her own\" against the local dojo masters and compete at the national level (although she is weaker than Kenshin and Sagara Sanosuke).\n\nWatsuki said that in volume seven the series took on a more adult tone, influenced by the shōjo manga he was reading at the time. During the series he considered killing Kaoru off, deciding against it in favor of a happy ending for a manga aimed at young readers and influenced by the previous story arc's upbeat ending. However, he thought the storyline then lost its main theme (revenge); readers praised and criticized the twist. Watsuki apologized to his young audience for the dark chapters suggesting that Kaoru was dead. Miki Fujitani (who voices the character) said in an interview that in the OVA series Kaoru is brave and very different from her original version whose characterization has been felt closer to the calm Yukishiro Tomoe. Watsuki described Tomo Sakurai's CD-drama voice as \"not too airhead-y,\" \"not too high\" and \"not too low.\"\n\nReception\nKaoru has been popular with Rurouni Kenshin readers, placing fourth or fifth in every popularity poll. Kaoru merchandise includes plushes, keychains and sweatbands. Manga, anime and video-game publications have responded positively to Kaoru; in T.H.E.M. Anime Reviews, Carlos Ross called her a \"spirited girl\". Kaoru and Kenshin's relationship ranked eighth in About.com's \"Top 8 Anime Love Stories\", with Katherine Luther calling it a \"classic romance.\" Rebecca Silverman of Anime News Network was disappointed by Kaoru's lack of development in the series Rurouni Kenshin Restoration. SciFi.com liked her character due to how Kaoru does not see Kenshin as the past murderer Battosai but instead as a kind wanderer who wants protect others. The writer also enjoyed the good actions Kaoru does like protecting Yahiko in early episodes. Megan Lavey from Mania Entertainment found Kaoru more appealing in the manga version over the anime adaptation due to that, while in both versions it is obvious that she has romantic feelings for Kenshin, in the manga she has a better understanding of Kenshin's darker persona most notably when former assassin prepares to leave Tokyo. For the final arc in the manga, Mania Entertainment felt that twist that happens shortly after Kenshin's battle with Enishi helps to show why Kaoru loves Kenshin carefully.\n\nKaoru's Reflection OVA series version was criticized; Efrain Diaz, Jr. of IGN wrote that although some of Kenshin and Kaoru's private moments are touching, others are depressing. According to Anime News Network's Mike Crandol, Kaoru is the least visually successful character redesign in the Reflection OVA. Citing the manga version's \"distinctive girlish charm\", Crandol said that the staff members tried too hard to make her look like Yukishiro Tomoe. Don Houston from DVD Talk noted the controversy between the fandom as they refrained from treating Reflection as canon due to how tragic the life of Kaoru and Kenshin's family became. About.com's Serdar Yegulalp felt the romance between Kaoru and Kenshin was entertaining to watch but at the same time criticized they often acted out of character, commenting on how Kaoru lets her husband leave the house in contrast to how in the original series, Kenshin left Tokyo while still not married with her. Ridwan Khan from Animefringe praised the romance between Kaoru and Kenshin, feeling it was well developed in the OVAs and served as a fitting finale to the series. On a more negative review, Carl Kimlinger stated that Kaoru was one of the most damaged characters in the OVAs as a result of being a more stereotipycal female character waiting for her husband to come back home rather than Watsuki's original version where Kaoru would not allow Kenshin to leave or instead go with him when he leaves Tokyo to work. According to Ashley D. Lake from UC Riverside, Kaoru represents the Daitō-ryū Aiki-jūjutsu values defied in the Meiji era that Kenshin chooses to protect due to the values it offers to people, something rare in anime series due to prominent violence during the time Rurouni Kenshin premiered in Japan.\n\nABC CBN's Karen Flores praised Emi Takei's portrayal of the character in the first live-action film, stating the actress played her character just like the one from the manga and anime. However, she was criticized for lacking her tomboyish traits when interacting with the young Myojin Yahiko. The lack of the love triangle between Kaoru, Kenshin and Takani Megumi was criticized by Ko Ransom from Anime News Network, as the writer noted the first film covered too many subplots. David West from Neo lamented Kaoru had few appearances in the final film, citing her role in the previous ones appealing.\n\nReferences\n\nComics characters introduced in 1994\nFemale characters in anime and manga\nFemale soldier and warrior characters in anime and manga\nFictional female martial artists\nFictional female swordfighters\nFictional Japanese people in anime and manga\nFictional kendoka\nFictional martial arts trainers\nFictional swordfighters in anime and manga\nMartial artist characters in anime and manga\nRurouni Kenshin characters\nTeenage characters in anime and manga",

Sanji grows a goatee during the timeskip, and concept art shows this was his original design.\n\nSanji's most distinctive feature is his eyebrows, which are characterized as swirls with the tail end pointing at his left side, opposite in direction in comparison to his siblings Ichiji, Niji, Yonji, and Reiju.\n\nOda revealed Sanji's real-world nationality would be a Frenchman, in contrast to the Nazi Germany themes of Germa 66.\n\nPersonality\nSanji is mostly seen as a composed, nonchalant, and calm individual who always keeps his cool when in dire situations. However, this is contrasted by the many comedic gags he partakes in, such as when in the presence of a lady or when insulted by a crew member. Most notably, Sanji and Zoro have a great rivalry, often resorting to fighting (both verbally and physically). However, even when engaging in discourse, they still find ways to help their crew and those around them, such as when they inadvertently save Toko from death.\n\nSanji is also known to have an enamored personality, constantly flirting with any attractive woman he sees, earning him the nickname \"ero-cook\". Even as a child, while working in Baratie, Sanji would become love-struck with attractive female customers and end up making mistakes in the process of cooking. He also shows jealousy towards those that he perceives to be luckier than him with women, such as when he sees Zoro with Hiyori. Despite this nature, Sanji exhibits some self-restraint due to his loyalty to his crew, as is shown by the fact that in spite of being attracted to Pudding, he sternly refused to marry her and decided to let her down gently. Moreover, due to this attitude and the multiple lectures from Zeff, Sanji follows his own strict set of personal morals in the form of chivalry. He has sworn to never attack women or let them be insulted, even at the cost of his own life and has gone so far as to only block against Kalifa, one of the main antagonists of the Enies Lobby Arc, until Nami could help him. However Sanji did not ask for help after growing up with an abusive biological father who never heeded his cries for help, Sanji never asks for help during the present-day series until the Wano Arc, where he asks Nico Robin to save him from a woman antagonist who he refuses to help. This is due to the greater vulnerability and acceptance of himself after Luffy saves him from an arranged marriage during the Whole Cake Island Arc.\n\nSanji is kind and often saves others in danger, even at the cost of his own safety. Oftentimes he frames this kindhearted nature as mere chivalry towards women, but in his actions he consistently helps men as well. Having suffered from starvation among the litany of abuse put upon him by his father, he never denies a person a meal regardless of their intentions, as shown when Don Krieg attempted to take over the Baratie during his introductory arc. Frequently during the series he separates himself from everyone else to play a clandestine role which subsequently helps the crew and other allies survive. In Water 7, Sanji separates from the crew and finds Nico Robin boarding the Puffing Tom on its way to Enies Lobby for her execution. In Thriller Bark, he offers to give up his life in exchange for Luffy's. In Zou, Sanji decided to leave the crew in order to confront his family and protect the Straw Hats from the Fire Tank Pirates. In Wano, Sanji asks for help from another for the first time when he asks Robin to save him.\n\nPortrayals\n\nIn the original Japanese version of the One Piece anime series, Sanji is voiced by Hiroaki Hirata as an adult and Ikue Ōtani as a child.\n\nIn Odex's dubs of the first 104 episodes of One Piece in Singapore, Sanji was voiced by Joseph Murray and Paul Pistore. In the 4kids Entertainment's dub of the first 104 episodes of One Piece, Sanji was voiced by David Moo as an adult and by Veronica Taylor as a child. In Funimation Entertainment's dubs of the entire One Piece franchise, adult Sanji is voiced by Eric Vale with Christen Auten playing the role of child Sanji. In the Korean dub, he was formerly voiced by Park Hyun-wook from 2002 to 2011. In 2012, Sanji was now voiced by Lee Jung-hoon, Nami Sanji-kun's husband in the Korean dub.\n\nSanji is portrayed by British actor Taz Skylar in the live action adaptation of One Piece.\n\nAbilities\nWhen fighting, Sanji only ever relies on kicks, never punching opponents because of his belief that a cook's hands are important instruments for their craft, and thus must be protected from harm. Over the course of the series, Sanji utilizes attacks that are variations of kicks (deemed “Black Leg Style”), with the name of the attack usually having something to do with food, such as “Diable Jambe”, wherein he raises the temperatures of his legs so high that they glow bright red. During his time on Momoiro Island, Sanji learns a move named “Sky Walk”, which allows him to jump to great heights and to be able to float mid air by making sonic booms in the air behind him. Sanji is one of the few high-bounty individuals that has not consumed a Devil Fruit, fruits that give the consumer superhuman powers at the expense of becoming a dead weight in water. After Whole Cake Island, Sanji receives a Raid Suit gifted from Germa 66, the underground organization powering Germa Kingdom, which increases his physical capabilities and allows him to blend in with his environment. Though continued use of this suit awakened his inert genetic modifications, he ultimately accepted these modifications, giving him increased strength and speed, but chose to destroy the Raid Suit to cut his ties to his family permanently. He would later use his new abilities with Armament Haki to create \"Ifrit Jambe\", a more powerful version of Diable Jambe that uses blue-white flames.\n\nOther than fighting skills, Sanji is also a well-renowned cook. He learned to cook under Zeff on the Baratie and has become quick and dexterous in his ability to use knives. He also has a strong sense of taste and smell, which is seen by being able to deduce the ingredients and being able to recreate the wedding cake on Whole Cake Island.\n\nHaki\nDuring the timeskip, he develops Observation Haki, which allows him to sense the intent and presence of others, such as when he was able to dodge a jelly bean bullet from Katakuri. He is also able to utilize Armament Haki, which allows him to harden parts of his body and be able to attack Logia users.\n\nAppearances\n\nOne Piece manga\nBorn as a prince of Germa Kingdom, a floating kingdom composed of several ships on the shells of large snails, is routinely ridiculed by his genetically enhanced sociopathic siblings and is locked away by his father Judge for being a disgrace. His appeals for help are met with disdain from Judge. With help from his sister Reiju, he escapes and flees Germa. On his way out, Sanji encounters his father, who tells him that if he is to run away, he must never tell anyone of his relation to the Germa, feeling shameful about their connection. Sanji eventually flees on a cruise ship known as the Orbit.\n\nWhile serving as an apprentice cook on a passenger ship, nine-year-old Sanji stands up to a boarding party of pirates led by the infamous \"Red Foot\" Zeff. During the encounter, Sanji is swept into the sea by a massive wave. Zeff jumps in after him because of their common dream of finding the , a legendary area where the East, West, North, and South Blue seas meet, containing every kind of fish in the world. While castaways together, the pirate saves Sanji's life yet again by giving him all of their food. After their eventual rescue, Sanji stays with Zeff for several years and helps him build a floating restaurant, the . Zeff in turn makes him a first-rate cook and teaches him his kick-based fighting style. Mirroring Zeff, Sanji will never refuse a starving person a meal, and he uses only his legs when fighting to protect the hands he needs for cooking. He has a weakness for women and makes it a principle never to harm one, even if it means his death.\n\nEventually Sanji becomes infamous as . In Thriller Bark, he offers to give up his life in exchange for Luffy's. While training for a period of two years in Emporio Ivankov's , he develops the , a variant of the technique , which allows him to essentially run through air. In Zou, Sanji is forced into an arranged marriage with the daughter of Big Mom, one of the Four Emperors. Sanji decides to leave the crew in order to confront his family and protect the Straw Hats from the Big Mom Pirates. However Luffy invades the Big Mom Pirates' Empire to save Sanji, but Sanji is unwilling to let his family, though he despises them, die in a trap laid out by Big Mom, who seeks their powerful technology. Luffy responds by acknowledging that such kindness is the heart of Sanji's character. Together they manage to save Sanji's family and escape Big Mom, earning bounty increases. Sanji is pleased that his bounty exceed's Zoro's, but angered at the inclusion of his surname in the poster. Sanji is also displeased to receive his own technologically enhanced Raid Suit from his family which grants him the ability to turn invisible.\n\nIn Wano, Sanji asks for help from another for the first time when he asks Robin to save him from a woman enemy he is unwilling to fight. This is the first time Sanji asks for help in the present-day series from someone else. Later he realizes using the Raid Suit began to awaken dormant genetic enhancements that his mother suppressed years ago. He had gained an exoskeleton, a superhuman physical constitution, accelerated healing, increase in strength and speed which enhanced his fighting style immensely and his skin has become bulletproof. Sadly, this had dampened his emotions as well when he realized he had hurt a woman unknowingly who unintentionally got his way and became extremely afraid of him but that was not the case, as it is confirmed by Sanji, that Queen used his invisibility to make it look like he did the beating. Fearing he is losing his heart and humanity, he destroys the Raid Suit canister, freeing himself from Germa's influence for good and stopping him from losing more of himself.\n\nIn other media\nThe creators of Food Wars, Yūto Tsukuda and Shun Saeki, created a set of spinoff one-shots titled Shokugeki no Sanji, with the first installment being published in 2018 to celebrate One Piece's 21st anniversary. There are currently four installments and the spinoffs are short stories detailing different cooking competitions that Sanji partakes in, as well as going into detail about his training in Okama Island.\n\nA cookbook titled One Piece: Pirate Recipes was published by Shueisha in November 2012. The book is attributed to Sanji himself and includes various One Piece-themed cooking recipes. A localization by Viz Media was announced in February 2021, and released on November 23, 2021.\n\nSanji has also been featured in varying forms of merchandise. For instance, many figurines have been produced, with one example being the Sanji figure in the One Piece Locations Trading Figures series. In 2012, the French Luxury brand S.T Dupont collaborated on their 140th anniversary with Eiichiro Oda to recreate Sanji's iconic \"Sleeping Mermaid\" gold lighter.\n\nStatues have also been erected in Sanji's honor. A bronze statue of Sanji was dedicated in Mashiki, Kumamoto as part of the Kumamoto Revival Project to help with healing after the 2016 earthquakes in the area. In the Nagoya location of the One Piece Mugiwara Store, a statue of Sanji stands next to artwork from the show. In \"Sanji's Oresama Restaurant,\" one of the Tokyo One Piece Tower's restaurants, a statue of Sanji can be seen as part of a feast with the rest of the crew.\n\nReception\n\nPopularity\nIn the Shōnen Jump One Piece popularity polls, Sanji was ranked fourth in the first poll (1999) and third for the three subsequent polls (2002, 2006, 2009). In the most recent poll (2021), which was the first polled held worldwide, Sanji was ranked the fourth most popular character with 970,286 votes.\n\nCritical response\nDyler Crews wrote how “Sanji has all of the tangibles to be one of the undisputed best characters in the entire series. His origin, powers, and style make him an easy favorite among One Piece fans. Still, his strange obsession with women pushes other fans away. The lecherous hero is as foundational to the shonen manga genre as gaudy transformations. Sanji is the most visible in a long line of problematic and confounding characters to express this annoyingly immature personality type”.\n\nEric Vale's work with Sanji nominated him for the “Voice Actor of the Year” award in the Behind the Voice Actor Awards from 2015. Daniel Dockery, a senior staff writer for Crunchyroll, argued that Sanji has one of the best character introductions in anime. Ritwik Mitra of GameRant placed Sanji as the best comedy relief character in shōnen anime, citing his attempts at courting women and conflicts with his crew mate Roronoa Zoro as a source of humor. Mitra adds that Sanji is also a significant part in \"some of the most iconic non-comedy moments\", which he believes to be reason for his popularity.\n\nReferences\n\nAnime and manga characters who can move at superhuman speeds\nAnime and manga characters with superhuman durability or invulnerability\nAnime and manga characters with superhuman senses\nAnime and manga characters with superhuman strength\nFictional sea pirates\nFictional characters with fire or heat abilities\nVigilante characters in comics\nMale characters in anime and manga\nComics characters introduced in 1998\nFictional characters who can turn invisible\nFictional chefs\nFictional genetically engineered characters\nFictional princes\nMartial artist characters in anime and manga\nOne Piece characters\nTeenage characters in anime and manga",

In 1906, he gave up his job as a doctor and, following August Bebel's call, started teaching Economics and Economic history at the training center of the SPD in Berlin.

Since 1912 he represented \"\"Vorwärts\"\" at the meetings of the party commission, which allowed him to decisively take part in the decision-making of the socialist politics in the years before World War I.

Hilferding's theoretical abilities and his personal relationships to leading socialists allowed him to make his career in the party.

He was the main defender of Marxism from critiques by Austrian School economist and fellow Vienna resident Eugen Boehm von Bawerk. Hilferding also participated in the \"\"Crises Debate\"\" – disputing Marx's theory of the instability and eventual breakdown of capitalism on the basis that the concentration of capital is actually stabilizing. He edited leading publications such as \"\"Vorwärts\"\", \"\"Die",
"\"Rudolf Hilferding\"\nFreiheit\"\", and \"\"Die Gesellschaft\"\".

On 10 August 1877, Rudolf Hilferding was born in Vienna into a prosperous Jewish family, consisting of his parents, Emil Hilferding, a merchant (or private servant), and Anna Hilferding, and of Rudolf's younger sister, Maria.

Writing in the context of the highly cartelized economy of late Austria-Hungary, Hilferding contrasted monopolistic \"\"finance capitalism\"\" to the earlier, \"\"competitive\"\" and \"\"buccaneering\"\" capitalism of the earlier liberal era.

"Charles Towneley Strachey, 4th Baron O'Hagan (born 6 September 1945), is a British Conservative party politician.\n\nEarly years and background\nO'Hagan was born a godson of Princess Elizabeth, later Queen Elizabeth II. The grandson of Maurice Towneley-O'Hagan, 3rd Baron O'Hagan, he inherited the family title at the age of 16 on his grandfather's death in 1961, his father, the Hon. Major Thomas Strachey, having committed suicide in 1955. He was educated at Eton and New College, Oxford, and served as a Page to Queen Elizabeth II between 1959 and 1961. A relative of the Strachey baronets, he is the great-great-grandson of Edward Strachey, 1st Baron Strachie.\n\nPolitical career\nLord O'Hagan first took his seat in the House of Lords on 5 December 1967, and gave his maiden speech whilst he was still a student.\n\nHe was appointed an Independent MEP in December 1972, taking his seat on the day Britain began its EEC membership, 1 January 1973. Between 1973 and 1979, British MEPs were not elected, but were appointed from the House of Commons and the House of Lords. Since the Labour party was deeply divided over EEC membership, it refused to nominate members to the Parliament. Accordingly, O'Hagan was one of a group of Independents and Liberals appointed instead of the Labour nominations.\n\nDuring this first period as an MEP, O'Hagan tried to introduce the first Bill to allow the European Parliament to be directly elected instead of appointed. On 1 May 1974, he introduced the Bill in the House of Lords, but it was voted down.\n\nThe 5 June 1975 referendum on British EEC membership settled the question of Britain's position in Europe, and from that point onwards, the Labour party demanded its share of MEP nominations. O'Hagan thus lost his seat on 3 July 1975 after a joint decision by the Conservative and Labour parties to cease appointing Independents and Liberals to the European Parliament.

"A , often translated in English as \"usher\", \"ring attendant\", or \"ring announcer\", is a handyman employed by the Japan Sumo Association, responsible for various tasks essential to the traditional running of professional sumo tournaments () in Japan.\n\nEstablished during the Heian period, the role of was not codified as we know it today until the Kansei era. Nicknamed \"sumo's workhorses\" by former Takamiyama, and subject to the same strict hierarchy and traditional appearance as the other professions gravitating around professional sumo, the are notably involved in building the (wrestling ring) or calling wrestlers, or , to the ring when it's their turn to fight. However, as they are not restricted to their duties on tournament days, they are also entrusted with other roles, both administrative and artistic, in the service of the stable to which they are attached.\n\nHistory\nThe status of did not appear until 1750. Before the appearance of this term to specifically designate the staff responsible for announcing the wrestlers, several different terms were used over time to designate the . During the Heian period, there was a role known as , who was responsible for presenting the wrestlers to the emperor and the nobility who attended the matches. During the Edo period, the role became more codified, the staff responsible for calling the wrestlers inherited the name , meaning 'preceding referees'. Later came the terms and , both of which also mean 'to announce something', to refer more specifically to the personnel announcing the wrestlers. Since in earlier times the would sat down on their heels in the middle of the ring when the wrestlers arrived and call them by name, they inherited another name: , meaning 'squatting referees'.\n\nCareer and ranking\nThe maximum number of allowed in the Sumo Association is 45. As of April 2023, there are 45 within the Sumo Association.\n\n are employees of the Japan Sumo Association, but like the wrestlers, they are affiliated with the stables. Like , new recruits can only begin their career under the age of 19 and must have completed compulsory education. Most of them enter at 15, and it's not uncommon for most of the newcomers to be amateur wrestlers who haven't managed to break through but are keen to stay in the world of sumo, which fascinates them. They then work up a career ladder roughly based on the ranking system for wrestlers, as described, until their retirement at 65. The current ranking system was created in July 1993 and consists of the following nine ranks:\n\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n\nPromotion through these ranks is based primarily on experience, although ability is also taken into account, particularly in promotions to the top ranks. Junior however undergo six months of theoretical training in one of the Kokugikan's training rooms under the tutelage of their seniors. It takes around 15 years for a to be promoted from the bottom of the hierarchy to the rank of . The are promoted only after 30 years of service. are not generally promoted until they have 45 to 50 years of experience. Most of these ranks clearly follow those for the ranking of , or wrestlers, with the exception of the and ranks, which stand for chief and deputy chief, respectively. This system is identical to that applied for . Prior to July 1993, were simply ranked first-class, second-class and so on.\n\nWhile a earns between 360,000 and 400,000 yen (~$2513/€2313), the average Japanese salary for a salaryman, a young apprentice earns just 14,000 yen (~$97/€89) a month. In the past, lived on tips alone. In the same way that low-ranking wrestlers are deprived of certain freedoms, junior are also forbidden to live anywhere other than in their stable and are not allowed to marry while -ranked are allowed these liberties and have a assigned to them. The tasks that are undue to a depend on his rank, although all are versatile, with the highest ranks appearing at the end of the day and performing tasks that put them in the public eye.\n\nFrom October 2019 to December 2023, the position was vacant after the incumbent, Takuro, from Kasugano stable, was suspended for two tournaments and announced his retirement for hitting a junior over the head after he caught him eating in the customer seating area on . In September 2023, however, it was announced that Jirō (also from Kasugano stable), would be promoted by two ranks to become from December 25 of the same year.\n\nResponsibilities\n\nIn keeping with their workman outfits, the are actually the Japan Sumo Association's handymen, or odd-job men, and have a wide variety of tasks. During the tournament, are by far the busiest workers, staying for the whole of the fighting days, staying on site from 7.30am to 6pm. These tasks begin before the official opening of the tournaments () with the construction of the (sumo ring).\n\nBuilding the ring\n\nConstruction begins five days before the first day of the tournament (). 40 tonnes of a special clay, called Arakida, collected in the town of Kawagoe (Saitama Prefecture) are needed for its construction and the use small trucks to transport the materials. As well as building the ring, the are also responsible for the facing of the (the suspended roof above the ). Supervision of the construction does not necessarily fall to the . Depending on their skills, a may also supervise the construction of the ring. During (tours), not all are present, and it's not uncommon for local volunteers to help with construction.\n\nCalling the wrestlers\nThe 's most emblematic task is to call the wrestlers into the ring for their match of the day. Dressed traditionally and holding a simple white fan, they call the wrestlers by their , or ring-name, in a high-pitched and melodious way. The use of a fan was originally intended to prevent droplets of saliva from soiling the sacred surface of the . Because of the large number of wrestlers in the divisions, the who enter the ring are notoriously using cheat sheets so as not to make any mistakes in public. On even-numbered days, the call is made from the east, then the west, and on odd-numbered days the call is made in the other way round.\n\nOther tasks\n\nAnother recognisable task of the is parading the (advertising) banners around the ring before particular match-ups between popular wrestlers, which are often sponsored by companies. The are responsible for banging the drum at different times of the day. Originally, these different times were used to convey different messages to spectators outside the arena. The first drum sound is the , played during the 15 days of the tournaments, for 30 minutes from 8am to announce the opening of a day of matches. At the end of the day, immediately after the (bow-twirling) ceremony, the is played to invite spectators leaving the arena to disperse. Before the Second World War, the took part in the tours separately and by (clan), therefore the method used to beat the drum was different and these variations are traditionally preserved today, even if all now take part in the tours equally. High-ranking finally accompany -ranked wrestlers in their ring-entering ceremonies by sounding their , an instrument consisting of two pieces of cherry wood tied together with a cord.\n\nOther tasks on match days include: sweeping the ring, providing purification salt, handing towels to wrestlers, displaying banners showing that a match has been decided by default (usually due to a competitor's withdrawal), or subject to a rematch after the next two bouts, and ensuring that, during a bout, no wrestler injures himself on the bucket of (power water) situated at each east and west side of the ring. The are also responsible for bringing the thick cushions of the -ranked wrestlers to the ring, which are handed to them by the (assistant) who come out of the changing rooms. Junior also help senior during the ceremony. Less publicly, also take care of many small requests made by the Sumo Association executives on judging duty or guard duty in the corridors, such as fetching drinks or cigarettes.\n\nNevertheless, the responsibility for is not simply confined to tournament days. As , like wrestlers, belong to the stables, they are also entrusted with tasks by their stablemasters, such as running errands or keeping track of wrestlers' progress during training sessions. When a stable goes on tour in the odd-numbered months, the are also responsible for making the necessary arrangements to reserve accommodation for the masters and wrestlers. When a stable's (training area) needs rebuilding, from the same , to which the stable belongs, take charge of the construction. \n\nIt is also traditional for to write folk songs, called , based on sumo life.\n\nRing names\n take a single name as their ring name, unlike both the wrestlers () and who have both a surname and given name. This may be related to the practice of the Edo period in Japan whereby only samurai class persons could hold a surname. The wrestlers (involved in a martial activity) and (who were lettered) could be construed as having positions consistent with a samurai status, while the did not. As in most traditional Japanese activities, the professional name of the is sometimes derived from the name of the master who taught them, borrowing a kanji from the master's name.\n\nAs from July 1993 the upper ranked also have their names automatically included on the , the ranking sheet produced prior to each . With the exception of a period around the Kansei era to Bunsei era, only the had traditionally been included on the alongside the wrestlers and their training masters, or .\n\nUniform\n\nThe outfit worn by the is loosely based on an old style Japanese workman's outfit, with , working trousers, and socks. The kimono worn by the often displays sponsors' names in black characters and logo. As there are currently eight main sponsors of the Sumo Association, each has eight different kimono which he wears during all 15 days of each basho. The costume is the same for senior and junior ranked and only the kimono worn on the torso varies in color and the names on the back. Since the kimono diplay the logos and names of the sponsors, it is often offered by them and the rarely choose the colors of their kimono. Their colours and designs, on the other hand, are often decided within an , but it can also be presented by who have been promoted to or as a commemorative gift and the , or ring name, of the said wrestler can be seen at top of the back of the , in place of the name of the stable to which the belongs, which is normally found there.\n\nSee also\nList of sumo stables\n, sumo stable\nOther personnel of the Japan Sumo Association\n\nReferences\n\nNotes\n\nBibliography\n\nFurther reading\n (article on a day of matches)\n\nExternal links\n\nList of current yobidashi at Japan Sumo Association homepage\n - Sumo Prime Time episode\n\nJapanese words and phrases\nSumo people\nSumo terminology",

On August 8, 1831, he was captured again, and confessed to the burglary of over 100 samurai estates and the impressive theft of over 30,000 ryō throughout his 15-year career. He was tied to a horse and paraded in public before being beheaded at the Suzugamori execution grounds. His head was then publicly displayed on a stake. He was buried at Ekō-in located in the Ryōgoku section of Tokyo. So many pilgrims have chipped away pieces of his tombstone for charms that his headstone has had to have been replaced a number of times since his death.\n\nBackground\nAt the time of the arrest, Jirokichi was found to have very little money. This, combined with the public humiliation he dealt out to the daimyō, resulted in the popular legend that he gave the money to the poor, turning the petty crook into a posthumous folk hero similar to Robin Hood. The fact that he died alone, serving his wives with divorce papers just prior to arrest in order to protect them from sharing in the punishment as the law decreed, further enhanced his stature.\n\nNickname\nJirokichi's nickname Nezumi Kozō roughly means \"Rat Kid\".\n\nThe word nezumi means \"rat\" or \"mouse\" and kozō translates to \"kid, brat\". The term kozō is a somewhat pejorative word for any young male.\n\n. In actuality, even though the nickname containing the term kozō was frequently applied to pickpockets, there are many other instances where it became the epithet of other types of criminals.\n\nMedia \n Nezumi, Edo wo hashiru: a Japanese television series relating the adventures of Nezumi Kozo, with Hideaki Takizawa in the main part.\n In the game Persona 5, the main character is shown wearing a t-shirt referencing the year of his birth and there is a pop quiz question related to his execution.\n In an episode of Lupin III Part 2, Nezumi Kozō's fourth descendant, named Rat Boy Jirokichi IV, teams up with Goemon Ishikawa XIII to pull off a heist in the Sakuradamon Police Station.\n\nSee also\nCriminal punishment in Edo-period Japan\nIshikawa Goemon\n\nExplanatory notes\n\nReferences \nCitations\n\nBibliography\n\nExternal links\n\n Robin Hoods of the World: Japan's Jirokichi the Rat from the BBC\n\n1831 deaths\n1797 births\nJapanese folklore\nJapanese thieves\n19th-century executions by Japan\nExecuted Japanese people\nPeople executed by Japan by decapitation\nNinja",
"is a popular character based on the historical Tōyama Kagemoto, a samurai and official of the Tokugawa shogunate during the Edo period of Japanese history. In kabuki and kōdan, he was celebrated under his childhood name, Kinshirō, shortened to Kin-san. He was said to have left home as a young man, and lived among the commoners, even having a tattoo of flowering sakura trees on his shoulder. This story developed into a legend of helping the common people.\n\nThe novelist Tatsurō Jinde (陣出達郎) wrote a series of books about Kin-san. Noted actor Chiezō Kataoka starred in a series of eighteen Toei jidaigeki films about him. Several Japanese television networks have aired series based on the character. These variously portrayed him pretending to be a petty hood or a yojinbō while solving crimes as the chief of police.\n\nPeople famous for having portrayed Kin-san on television include kabuki stars Nakamura Umenosuke IV and Ichikawa Danshirō, singers Yukio Hashi and Teruhiko Saigō, and actors Ryōtarō Sugi, Hideki Takahashi, Hiroki Matsukata, and Kōtarō Satomi.

"is a fictional character of the manga series Jujutsu Kaisen created by Gege Akutami. A first-year student at Tokyo Jujutsu High, an academy to hone Cursed Techniques to fight against Cursed Spirits arising from negative emotions from humans, she is under the tutelage of Satoru Gojo alongside Yuji Itadori and Megumi Fushiguro. She is a transfer student from Morioka whose hotheadedness and brashness contrasts with the other first-year students' altruism and stoicism.\n\nIn the Jujutsu Kaisen anime adaptation, she is voiced by Asami Seto in Japanese and Anne Yatco in English. Her character has been widely praised by critics alongside other female characters in the series for being more layered and true to herself than other female shōnen characters.\n\nConcept and creation \nHer name, Nobara, was meant by creator Gege Akutami to be \"thorny\", with the kanji characters for \"No\" and \"Bara\" meaning wild and rose while the character used to denote \"Kugi\" in her last name means nail or peg in order to demonstrate the two sides of her personality being rebellious and refined. He came up with her name at the same time as he came up with her powers and abilities, as they come hand-in-hand with each other. Akutami found her dialogue to be the easiest to write of the three main characters, but struggled with her composure in action scenes. Akutami felt it interesting to give her the sharp desire to go to Tokyo contrasting against her grandmother's wish for her to be raised normally in her small hometown.\n\nNobara was designed to be more true to herself than the other two protagonists, her authenticity on full display at multiple points in the series including during the Kyoto Goodwill Exchange event where she declares that she will only ever be herself and refuses to try to follow expectations from others. According to Akutami, she is best described by the songs \"Seishun Kyosokyoku\" by Sunny Day Service and \"Ano Depaato\" by Natsuko Nisshoku which contrast rock with heartfelt vocals and plucky piano playing to show her country upbringing and creativity.\n\nAccording to Anne Yatco, her English voice actress, \"she is confident, sassy, and snarky—and I love all of it! I also really appreciate that the dynamic between Nobara, Yuji, and Megumi isn’t affected by their gender. So, even though she’s “the girl” in the group, no one treats Nobara with kid gloves or thinks that she’s weaker than them.\" She also touched on Nobara's journey of self-discovery after leaving her home, saying that \"I really came into my own as a person after l left home. I think Nobara wants to grow, not just as a sorcerer but also as a human being, and she outgrew her hometown long ago.\" Japanese voice actress Asami Seto struggled to voice Nobara as her own personality contrasts heavily with Nobara's brashness, and had to consult and rehearse many times with the producers to get the personality down through her voice acting.\n\nAppearances \nShe first appears in \"Chapter 3\" of the manga after arriving in Tokyo by train. She is introduced to the other first-year Jujutsu Sorcerers by Gojo, and aids Yuji in rescuing a child from a Cursed Spirit in an apartment complex. Although she initially expresses distaste for Yuji and Megumi, the trio become fast friends as they attend school together. She is present during the \"Cursed Womb\" invasion of a detention facility, though is taken out early in battle after being separated from the others. After training with the second-year students in preparation for the Exchange Event against Kyoto Jujutsu High, she is upset and annoyed when Yuji reveals that he has secretly been alive for weeks without telling his friends.\n\nDuring the battle with the Kyoto students, she argues about her worth and how she ignores the rules set by Jujutsu society about being a female sorcerer, but is knocked out after being shot by Mai with a rubber bullet. While investigating Cursed Wombs known as \"Death Paintings\" with Yuji and Megumi, she helps Yuji kill one of the attackers but realizes too late that they were not actually Cursed Spirits but had a physical form, meaning they had human ancestry. She tells Yuji afterwards that she feels no regrets about having to kill other humans. After this incident, Nobara and Megumi discuss how Itadori's survival puts others in danger, due to Sukuna's presence in his body attracting dangerous Cursed Spirits that contain his fingers.\n\nIn the \"Shibuya Incident\" arc, Nobara is one of many Jujutsu Sorcerers dispatched to stop the Cursed Spirits from waging their war against humans. She aids the other sorcerers in the battle and eventually comes across Mahito, a Cursed Spirit with the ability to reshape souls and fatally disfigure opponents simply by touching them. During the battle, she slips up in her attack strategy, and Mahito touches the right side of her face. Her life and most cherished relationships (including Yuji, Megumi, Gojo, and her other comrades from Jujutsu High) flash before her eyes, and she remembers her greatest regret of not being able to reunite with Saori, a girl from Tokyo who was ostracized and forced to leave her hometown. In her final waking moments, she bids farewell to Yuji and asks him to tell their friends that \"it wasn't so bad\", before her face is blasted open due to the effects of Mahito's transfiguration, losing her right eye and putting her on the brink between life and death.\n\nPowers and abilities \nNobara possesses an extremely high pain tolerance, tactical intellect, and a careful understanding of Jujutsu arts. Her innate Cursed Techniques are the Straw Doll Technique, allowing her to use a straw doll to attack her opponent from a distance by hitting a nail with a Cursed Energy-imbued hammer, such that Curses feel whatever she inflicts onto the straw doll, and Resonance, which allows her to turn Cursed Technique attacks affecting her own body back on the user. The Straw Doll Technique is based on the ushi no toki mairi, who are portrayed as women dressed in white that lay upon cursed on people using a straw doll, hammer and nails which is a traditional method of inflicting curses. She is also highly proficient in using her hammer to launch nails at enemies, causing both physical and Cursed Energy damage to her opponent when they make contact, and can make the nails explode in a physical technique called Hairpin. In addition to her standard abilities, she has been able to a Cursed Energy Manipulation—Black Flash, which creates a spatial distortion when the user comes into contact with the impact of Cursed Energy in a 0.000001 second window of a physical attack. It was revealed in the volume extras that Nobara's grandmother is a sorcerer with the same abilities and was taught to use the technique before enrolling as a student in Tokyo Metropolitan Curse Technical College.\n\nIn the official second light novel for Jujutsu Kaisen, it was revealed that Nobara can improvise the usage of her technique if she does not have access to her weapons. Using her heels as a nail and a makeshift doll out of rope, she was able to activate her Straw Doll Technique to defeat an opponent.\n\nReception \nReception of Nobara’s character has been highly positive, with many critics and fans comparing her favorably to other female shōnen protagonists. Ana Diaz of Polygon praised Nobara's inclusion in Jujutsu Kaisen and the series' portrayal of women as a whole. She called a scene where Nobara calling out society's standards on gender roles \"poignant\" and \"stunning\", adding that \"the scene has staying power, because Jujutsu Kaisen goes a step further than avoiding gender tropes...It’s not like there’s any right way for these young women to deal with the unique pressures they face. The story lets them disagree, and fight for their perspectives and their place.\" Komla Kwao praised the way Nobara's depiction was more than just a \"clichéd, high school 'mean girl' who’s obsessed with her physical appearance and incapable of empathy\" and how she and fellow sorcerer Maki Zenin \"wholeheartedly embraced each other at first glance with no forced rivalry between them just because they’re both women.\" Theo J Ellis of AnimeMotivation said of Nobara: \"She's undeniably independent, is an individual, and is NEVER reduced to a girl needing help from the knight in shining armor.\"\n\nBarrett Edwards Smith of Game Rant highlighted the way how \"despite her aggressive personality, Nobara still embraces her femininity\" and how she is more complex than being \"traditionally female or not.\" Other praise was focused on how Nobara is \"loud, aggressive, and always speaks her mind. However, she is more complex than being a mere badass fighter.\" James Beckett from Anime News Network listed her as his favorite anime character from 2021 due to her aggressive personality and how she stands out in the story.\n\nAt the 6th Crunchyroll Anime Awards, Nobara won the award for Best Girl.\n\nReferences \n\nAnime and manga characters who use magic\nAnime and manga characters with superhuman strength\nComics characters introduced in 2018\nCrunchyroll Anime Awards winners\nFemale characters in anime and manga\nFemale soldier and warrior characters in anime and manga\nFictional blade and dart throwers\nFictional characters with energy-manipulation abilities\nFictional demon hunters\nFictional exorcists\nFictional female martial artists\nFictional ghost hunters\nFictional hammer fighters\nFictional Japanese people in anime and manga\nFictional magicians and sorcerers\nMartial artist characters in anime and manga\nTeenage characters in anime and manga",

"The characters of the Inuyasha manga series were created by Rumiko Takahashi. Most of the series takes place in a fictional version of Japan's Warring States period with occasional time-travel/flashback elements to modern Tokyo or the Heisei period. The setting and plot incorporate many elements of traditional Japanese folklore and religion. Its main characters (both protagonists and antagonists) include a Shintō priestess, a Buddhist monk and several types of , usually rendered as \"demon\" in English-language translations of the series. The anime adaptation of Inuyasha is followed by a sequel titled Yashahime: Princess Half-Demon where its characters are also listed here.\n\nInuyasha main characters\n\nInuyasha\n\n was born of a dog-demon father and a human mother. He is an arrogant, prideful and stubborn half-demon, but has a soft side to him. He also has an older half brother, Sesshomaru, who is a full-demon with a full-demon mother. He has the appearance of a fifteen-year-old boy. As a half-demon, he had a difficult and lonely childhood, as demons and humans despised him for his mixed bloodline.\n\nKagome Higurashi\n\n is a brave and kind girl, the reincarnation of the Sengoku period priestess Kikyo, who believes in never turning her back on someone in trouble. Although physically weak, she is not lacking in courage. She becomes highly skilled in archery as the series progresses, and eventually learns to master her immensely strong spiritual powers. Of all characters in the series, she has the most emotional strength, never allowing anger or jealousy to commit acts of evil. By the start of Yashahime she is spiritually as strong as Kikyo, and possibly stronger given that she developed her own powers of arrow disappearance. Despite her inexperience, Naraku greatly fears Kagome's purifying powers, causing him to target her even more often than Inuyasha.\n\nMiroku\n\n is an eighteen-year-old lecherous and intelligent Buddhist monk who travels the countryside performing spiritual services, such as exorcisms and demon exterminations, though he has a habit of either ripping off or outright robbing wealthy clients. Miroku can attack enemies with his khakkhara and sutra scrolls. But Miroku's greatest weapon is the , a blackhole embedded in his right palm which is actually a hereditary curse originally inflicted upon his paternal grandfather by Naraku. Due to the curse's nature to eventually kill him, Miroku sought to find himself a wife to sire children before eventually falling in love with Sango. In the sequel series, after starting a family with Sango after his curse was lifted, Miroku left his family to train himself to fight demons without his Wind Tunnel.\n\nSango\n\n is a sixteen-year-old . She hails from a village that practices the act as their profession and is also the original home of the Shikon Jewel; she is described by her father as the most skilled exterminator in the village. While travelling, she wears a traditional woman's kimono, over which she wears long skirt, most likely \"mo-bakama\", and traditional woman's arm guards and leg guards, and straw sandals. As a demon slayer, Sango dresses in a black skin-tight jumpsuit, and pink armor plates made of demon parts, and a red sash. Of her broad repertoire of tools and tricks for fighting demons, Sango usually wields her most powerful weapon called the , a human-sized boomerang made of purified demon bones, which she can throw using her enhanced strength.\n\nShippo\n\n is a young orphaned kitsune, who attempts to steal the Shikon Jewel from Inuyasha and Kagome, wanting to become stronger and avenge his father's death. Though his plan fails, Inuyasha and Kagome aid him after hearing his story, and he becomes their companion. Deeply loyal to Kagome, he often calls Inuyasha out on his bad behavior toward her. He is frequently clobbered by Inuyasha for playing tricks on him, and for blurting out uncomfortable or embarrassing facts. Despite this, he views the entire group as his surrogate family.\n\nKirara\n\n is Sango's faithful companion who usually appears to be a small kitten-sized feline with two tails, but can become large enough to carry several passengers across the air whenever the need arises. She is a spiritual entity and traveled with Midoriko in the past. In the sequel series, Kirara becomes Hisui's companion while occasionally aiding Setsuna.\n\nYashahime main characters\n\nTowa Higurashi\n\n is fourteen-years-old. She is Sesshōmaru and Rin's eldest daughter and Setsuna's twin sister making her a half-demon. When she was four-years-old, she was transported to the modern era through the power of the Sacred Tree of Ages. She was raised by Sōta Higurashi, her half-uncle-in-law. Ten years later, she is reunited with Setsuna. Towa wields the sword and carries the Silver Rainbow Pearl inside her left eye. When her sword is broken, she is capable of unleashing her demonic power to form her demonic energy into the remaining blade. Later she learns to absorb the demonic energy of enemies to empower herself and becomes capable of unleashing her father's personal attack. Afterwards, it was upgraded into her own variation of her attack. While they joined forces with Osamu Kirin to stop the Grim Comet, Towa used the Zanseiken's Kyūyōkon to absorb the comet's demon energy to make her new technique for the Azure Dragon Wave: the .\n\nSetsuna\n\n is Towa's younger twin sister and youngest daughter of Sesshōmaru and Rin, the former placing the Gold Rainbow Pearl in her right eye after she was born. She was separated from Towa when they were four-years-old during a forest fire Zero arranged, Jaken erasing her memories with a Dream Butterfly before she is placed in the care of Shiori and later Kaede before being taken under Kohaku's wing as a demon slayer. She is reunited with Towa and gradually regains pieces of her memory before being fully restored once the Dream Butterfly's hold is broken.\n\nWhile under the Dream Butterfly's influence, Setsuna is unable to sleep while unaffected by the disadvantages of being a half-demon save enter a berserker rage when she lets her demonic blood take hold of her. Sestuna also uses the naginata , which is used a seal to keep her demonic blood in check, using it in her signature attacks and , and briefly . After Kanemitsu no Tomoe is shattered and later reforged by Totosai into Yukari no Tachikiri with the ability to see and sever the invisible threads of fate along with accessing the most personal memories of those that the threads are connected to. At the base of Mount Musubi, since the barrier is down and as they start heading back to Kaede's village with Rion, the Dream Butterfly have been cut by her father Sesshomaru with the Tenseiga, as she will go to sleep as well, but it is unknown what the sleeping technique will effect on her without the Dream Butterfly. Sestuna later developed a third attack called . It is revealed later on that she has feelings for Hisui.\n\nMoroha\n\n is fourteen-years-old and the only daughter of Inuyasha and Kagome Higurashi, making her three-quarters human and quarter-demon. Sent away by her parents as an infant for her safety, Moroha was raised by Koga's clan before her mentor sold her to Jyūbei. Moroha since became a bounty hunter known as , selling parts of demons she is hired to slay to Jyūbei as payment to settle debt and earn her freedom. Aside from being capable of using her father's claw attacks and exorcising demons with a bow and arrow like her mother, she wields the sword . She also carries a shell-shaped makeup compact similar to the one owned by Izayoi, which she stored the Red Rainbow Pearl in while it was in her possession, holding Tōga's rouge that she applies to her lips to become with full access to her demonic heritage for the duration of one minute. But she later is able to maintain her form for longer durations after her second battle with Kirinmaru. After finding her parents, who she presumed dead, she placed the second Black Pearl in the rouge since the Red Rainbow Pearl and other Rainbow Pearls have been become Zero's tears again, and she was given a special longbow they had made for her. Using it greatly boosts her sacred arrows spiritual power and effectiveness. After retrieving a strong ice sword from an ice demon, with aid from her long-lost father Inuyasha, Moroha's debt is finally paid.\n\nRecurring Inuyasha characters\n\nInuyasha supporting characters\n\nKikyo\n\n was a powerful, high-ranking priestess who lived fifty years prior to the events of the series. Kikyo was given the task by demon slayers to guard and purify the Shikon Jewel. She fell in love with Inuyasha, who considered using the Shikon Jewel to turn him completely human so it would fade and she could live with him as a normal human. Unfortunately, she was used by Naraku to trick both Kikyo and Inuyasha by disguising as them, and kills Kikyo. She later gets resurrected by the ogress, Urasue, whom robs her grave and forced her to return to life.\n\nIn the events of the spinoff, set eighteen years after her third and final demise at the hands of Naraku, her appearance and voice is utilized by the Sacred Tree of Ages itself as a means of communication. The adult Kohaku had told Towa how his travels with Kikyo had left him admiring the undead priestess very much as she was unassailable and had never backed down from anyone. It was she who had defeated and sealed away a strong plant-demon called Root Head shortly before meeting Inuyasha.\n\nSesshomaru\n\n is a powerful dog demon (), feared throughout the feudal era. Born of a great demon bloodline, he is the older, more powerful half-brother of Inuyasha. He is usually accompanied by his demon minions, Jaken and A-Un. Chronologically, he is over 200 years old, while according to the official Inuyasha Profiles guide by Rumiko Takahashi, his appearance is equivalent to being 19 years old in human years.\n\nJaken\n\n is a small green imp-like demon who is extremely loyal to Sesshomaru, often praising his master's greatness, although Sesshomaru usually ignores and sometimes abuses him. Jaken himself is not especially powerful, but he wields the , a fire-throwing staff that Sesshomaru gives him. The manga explains little about Jaken's past, but the anime shows that Jaken was once a lord among similar demons. After the older Rin gives birth to Sesshomaru's twin half-demon daughters, Jaken is tasked with protecting them after Sesshomaru hides them in the forest of the Sacred Tree of Ages.\n\nRin\n\n is a barefoot orphan girl who tended to Sesshomaru's injuries when she found him under a tree, having lost her family to bandits prior. Rin ended up being killed by wolves under Koga's tribe when they raid her village, resurrected by Sesshomaru using Tensaiga on her. She since accompanied Sesshomaru throughout the events of the series, marrying him many years later as an adult and later giving birth to their twin daughters Towa and Setsuna. However, Rin is targeted by Zero as she placed the on Rin's neck, with Sesshomaru placing her within the Tree of Ages until Zero's curse on her is broken.\n\nA-Un\n is a two-headed dragon demon with some horse-like features and Sesshomaru's beast of burden who is one of the two in the series explicitly stated to be a herbivore, like Totosai's ox. Despite traveling with Sesshomaru for centuries, he has no name until Rin gives him one, calling the right head \"A\" and the left head \"Un\" (the kanji symbols 阿吽 together translate as \"Alpha and Omega\"). A-Un can fire energy from both mouths. The right head shoots blue beams of lightning, while the left shoots green lightning that can control clouds and possibly the weather and has the ability to fly like Sesshomaru. A grey cloud-like gas trails from his legs in flight, similar to Kirara's flames.\n\nKohaku\n\n is Sango's eleven-year-old brother who, like his family, is also a demon exterminator. He grew into a confident leader of a new generation of demon-slayers, which included his teenage nephew and Sesshomaru's younger twin half-demon daughter Setsuna. He uses the larger chain-sickle he had gotten from Totosai on demons.\n\nKoga\n\n is a wolf demon who is the young leader of the Eastern Wolf Demon Tribe that was nearly wiped out by Kagura and Naraku. He first meets Inuyasha as an opponent in battle, but becomes a reluctant, occasional ally despite maintaining a strong sense of rivalry about their relative combat strengths and the courtship of Kagome. After initially kidnapping her for her ability to locate Shikon shards, Koga becomes attracted to Kagome's kindness, spirit and beauty. Inuyasha is always foul-tempered and jealous during Koga's visits because he worries that Kagome might have feelings for Koga, though she has only ever seen him as a friend.\n\nKaede\n\n is Kikyo's younger sister that assisted her with various tasks, such as gathering herbs or holding her quiver of arrows. After Kikyo's death, Kaede became an unusually strong shrine priestess in her own right and defends the village against demons. Kaede lost her right eye sometime during her life and wears an eyepatch over it. Supplementary information states that she \"lost her elder sister and her eye in an incident fifty years ago.\"\n\nMyoga\n\n is a flea demon in service to Toga who was assigned to guard Tetsusaiga's resting place before it was acquired by Inuyasha, accompanying him and later Moroha while providing them intel on topics that include current events and foes. He tends to run and hide during fights despite being a loyal retainer, his presence being a tell-sign of no present danger. Myoga enjoys drinking demon blood, and actually saves Inuyasha's life at one point by drinking a spider demon's venom out of his blood.\n\nTotosai\n\n is an elderly blacksmith with large, bulging eyes and the creator of Tessaiga and Tenseiga, from the fangs of his old friend, the Great Dog General, who entrusted him to help his two sons. As Inuyasha grows stronger and Sesshomaru grows more compassionate, they become more capable of mastering their respective swords, which Totosai strengthens accordingly. He spends most of his time at his forge inside a volcano, but sometimes travels elsewhere on a flying three-eyed ox named .\n\nInuyasha antagonist characters\n\nNaraku\n\n is the half-demon responsible for the misery of most of the main cast. He was born fifty years ago from the desires of a gravely burned bandit named , who was found, sheltered and fed by Kikyo. Paralyzed by his injuries, Onigumo met a Small Spider Demon and forms a pact with the Small Spider Demon's friends. The surrounding demons attracted to his darkness consume him in return for his soul to occupy a new body created from their merged bodies so that he could satisfy his frustrated lust for Kikyo. But Naraku instead orchestrated Kikyo's death and Inuyasha's imprisonment, biding his time until the Shikon Jewel resurfaced in the Feudal Era. Assuming the appearance of a feudal lord, Naraku spends most of the series modifying his body while attempting to remove what little humanity he had left. At the end, he is destroyed by Inuyasha's Meidō Zangetsuha in the manga, while purified by Kagome's wish in the anime version.\n\nDemon of the Shikon Jewel\n\n is the dragon created from numerous demons from ancient time that battled the priestess Midoriko before forcing the priestess to trap their souls in what became the Shikon Jewel. At the end, he is destroyed by Inuyasha's Meidō Zangetsuha in the manga, while purified by Kagome's wish in the anime version.\n\nMagatsuhi\n\n is the evil corrupting presence within the Shikon Jewel, born from the spirit of the dragon demon, then his offshot. His existence is eventually made known to Inuyasha's group when Naraku gave him a temporary human-like body to act through to assist in the restoration of the Shikon Jewel with the personal goal to completely defile it. As it would later be revealed, Magatsuhi is responsible for sealing Kagome's full spiritual power out of fear of the girl being a threat to him. After losing his temporary body due to Bakusaiga, Magatsuhi resorts to bodily possessions before being stopped by Inuyasha with Dragon-Scaled Tetsusaiga with the power of the demon vortex and killed by Sesshomaru with Tenseiga during the final battle against Naraku.\n\nNaraku's incarnations\nAfter acquiring enough Shikon Jewel shards, Naraku gained the ability to create new demons from his being that are technically his \"offspring\". However, each is treated by Naraku as expendable minions; tools to use as he wishes. He manipulated some of his earliest creations through threatening to destroy their disembodied hearts should they betray him. Eight detachments were directly created by Naraku within the series' storyline.\n\nKanna\n\n is Naraku's first detachment, appearing in the form of a ten-year-old girl in white with a mirror. Kanna is the only person that Naraku trusts with important information about his actions, allowing her to dictate in his stead. As a \"concealed incarnation\" of Naraku, Kanna has no scent or demonic aura, which makes her undetectable to Inuyasha, Miroku and Kagome, and immune to demonic aura-related effects such as the Hakurei barrier. She also is nice to Kagura and informative of Naraku's warnings. She is immune to the Infant's ability to read hearts to know what someone is truly thinking, but possesses thoughts and feelings of her own.\n\nKagura\n\n is Naraku's second detachment, although she is introduced before her \"elder sister\" Kanna. As a wind witch who is always barefoot, Kagura uses a fan to enhance her powers where she can create a blade-like tornado or use wind to animate dead bodies. She can also use her feather hair-ornaments as transportation, enlarging them to ride in the wind. Kagura has a particularly strong feud with Koga as she slaughtered his tribe on Naraku's orders, and she later attempted to kill him and steal his Shikon shards (though for her own gain, not Naraku's). Kagura desires her freedom from Naraku, indirectly supporting Inuyasha's group despite being their enemy and developing feelings for Sesshomaru. Kagura is later fatally wounded by Naraku when he poisoned her while restoring her heart, spending her final moments with Sesshomaru.\n\nGoshinki\n\n is Naraku's third detachment, a large horned oni with bladed elbows and extremely powerful fangs. He is extremely agile for his size; however, his most dangerous ability is reading minds, which he uses to avoid dangerous situations and exploit his enemies' weaknesses. When Goshinki breaks Tetsusaiga, he provides Inuyasha's demon lineage the opportunity to take over. Goshinki struggles to read the now feral and blood-lustful Inuyasha before he is completely ripped apart with only his head remaining. Goshinki's head is then found by Sesshomaru, who momentary revives the demon so his fangs can be used by Totosai's expelled apprentice, , to create the cursed blade Tōkijin.\n\nJuromaru and Kageromaru\n \n and are respectively Naraku's fourth and fifth incarnations, but are extremely dangerous. While the more human-like Juromaru is like a berserker who is normally shackled with a mask covering his mouth, the parasitic Kageromaru uses his sickled arms to kill Naraku before being placed in his brother's stomach. Acting through a puppet, Naraku later removes the restraints on Juromaru so he and Kageromaru can slaughter Inuyasha's group and Koga. But the two fail and are killed by Inuyasha.\n\nMuso/Onigumo\n\nWhile technically Naraku's sixth incarnation, is actually Onigumo himself. Originally faceless and without memory of his past, Onigumo took the face and name of a wandering monk. Eventually with Kagura watching on Naraku's order, Muso ventures to Kikyo's former village and regains his memories of Onigumo and desires for Kikyo. He sees Kagome with Inuyasha and, assuming she is Kikyo, fights him in order to possess Kagome. But Naraku absorbs Muso to restabilize his body.\n\nAkago (the Infant) and Moryomaru\n \n \nThe is Naraku's heart and seventh detachment, appearing in the form of a human baby yet can speak fluently and control people with the darkness in their own hearts. It is later revealed that the Infant's appearance was intentional by Naraku as he expected the detachment to be as devious as himself. His goal was to use Kagome to find the remaining shards of the Shikon Jewel. He finds her jealousy of Inuyasha's feelings for Kikyo, but Inuyasha saves her before the Infant can control her. Because the Infant possesses his heart, Naraku had the infant placed under much protection by placing him into an artificial body called . But the Infant and Hakudoshi conspired to destroy Naraku while making themselves the dominant aspect of his being, only for the former and a fully aware Moryomaru to be absorbed by Naraku.\n\nHakudoshi\n\nWhile indirectly Naraku's eighth detachment referring to himself as the embodiment of his \"essence\", possessing his sadism and love for chaos, is actually created from the right half of the Infant when he was severed in half by the power of a dying monk and matured into a barefoot boy who is extremely dexterous and proficient with a halberd and other handheld weapons. As they were originally one, Hakudoshi possesses many of the Infant's abilities while unable to be killed directly as he does not possess Naraku's heart. Hakudoshi also acquired the demon horse Entei before the steed was killed by Inuyasha. Hakudoshi is destroyed when Naraku calls back his wasps so Miroku can use his Wind Tunnel on him.\n\nByakuya\n\n also known by his alias is Naraku's final detachment created for the sole purpose of acting during Naraku's final moments, a moth-Demon who uses illusions and origami magic while able to detach his left eye to serve as recon. As Byakuya was designed to only exist as long as Naraku lives, his body can be severely damaged when Naraku suffers mortal injuries. Originally, his purpose is to observe Inuyasha and Moryomaru's growing powers and report back to Naraku, gradually becoming more active in his creator's plans. During Inuyasha's final battle with Naraku, Byakuya uses his bladeless sword to absorb a stray Meido Zangetsuha, then carry out his final task: slashing Kagome with a time-delayed Meido that would activate upon Naraku's death. Though killed by Inuyasha's Meido seconds later, Byakuya accepts his fate as he achieved his purpose.\n\nThe Band of Seven\nThe were group of human mercenaries that were killed a long time ago. They are resurrected in an undead state and manipulated by Naraku through Shikon Jewel shards to hold off his enemies during his time at Mount Hakurei.\n\nKyokotsu\n\n is a giant who happens to be both the largest of the Band of Seven and the weakest. Though a giant, Kyokotsu has developed a taste for demons. Kyokotsu terrorizes the wolf-demon tribes before being defeated by Koga in battle, who pulls out his Shikon shard and returns him to the dead.\n\nJakotsu\n\n is the Band of Seven's third-in-command and Bankotsu's most trusted ally. A homosexual and homicidal woman-hater who wears women's kimono and sadistically kills his male opponents as a sign of affection. Jakotsu is armed with a snake-like sword which has segmented retractable blades that reach a great distance and bend at a moment's notice, making it difficult for an opponent to calculate his next move. When Inuyasha and his group arrive at Mount Hakurei, Jakotsu battles Inuyasha until he is defeated. The fight leaves Jakotsu severely weakened and Renkotsu uses the opportunity to steal his Shikon shard.\n\nMukotsu\n\n is a short man who acts as the Band of Seven's poison maker, concealing his face behind a veil. He abducts Kagome out of lust, attempting to rape her (the anime depicts him initiating a wedding ceremony before Miroku and Sango come to their friend's aid). Though he succeeds in poisoning the human heroes, Mukotsu is killed by Sesshomaru.\n\nRenkotsu\n\n is the second-in-command of the Band of Seven that often uses wires and fire-breathing skills and later a hand cannon. Renkotsu is the band's most intelligent member and secretly acts against Bankotsu by stealing their comrades' Shikon shards for his use. When Bankotsu learns of this, he kills Renkotsu.\n\nGinkotsu\n\n is a cyborg-like member of the Band of Seven, with a slew of different weapons, such as saw blades and a firearm on his back. Renkotsu maintains Ginkotsu's mechanical body, before it is destroyed by Inuyasha. Renkotsu then rebuilds Ginkotsu into a tank-like body. Eventually, Koga causes Ginkotsu to self-destruct by clogging his cannon with a piece of Renkotsu's armor. Ginkotsu's jewel shard is subsequently used by Renkotsu to heal his wounds.\n\nSuikotsu\n\n was originally a physician who developed a bloodthirsty second persona and is armed with artificial iron claws. After being revived, Suikotsu's good side attempts to live a normal life before his alter ego assumes control at the coaxing of his comrades. At one point, Suikotsu returns to the village with his normal \"good\" appearance, but is still violent and willing to kill. His good persona ultimately asks Kikyo to take his Shikon shard and kill him to prevent further carnage, but he is killed by Jakotsu before she can do so.\n\nBankotsu\n\n is the leader of the Band of Seven, and its youngest and strongest member. Though a skilled mercenary who killed many people, Bankotsu retains a sense of honor and compassion where his comrades are concerned. Bankotsu carries the Zanbatō-like halberd , a weapon he reclaims by attacking the daimyō who executed the band. Defeated by Inuyasha by slicing him in half based on the manga series, and when Banryu's power was reflected by Inuyasha's Bakuryūha attack.\n\nInuyasha guest characters\n\nFeudal Japan characters\n\nHachiemon (Hachi)\n\n, otherwise known as simply , is a tanuki from Awa who is a retainer to the tanuki of the Mamidaira clan before becoming Miroku's servant. His basic abilities are low and he has no weapons or skills for battle. He is an unremarkable being, but he understands Miroku well. Although Hachi is Miroku's servant, he often does not travel with him. Since he is a tanuki, he has the ability to transform. If he puts a leaf on his head and transforms, he can assume the form of a giant yellow gourd. He can fly in this state. When he runs away, he can lay down a smoke screen to deceive enemies.\n\nJinenji\n\n is a half-demon who lives in a hut with his human mother. Together, they grow a variety of medicinal plants, including some known for being powerful against poisons. He is first seen when Kirara is poisoned by Naraku's miasma and Inuyasha and Kagome travel to the village to find a cure. Because of his demon blood, the villagers falsely suspect him of killing people, but Jinenji is a gentle giant who is scared of humans because of the way they treat him.\n\nShiori\n\n is a half-demon who was born from a human mother named Shizu and a bat demon father named Tsukuyomaru, who had died when she was an infant; murdered by his own father in cold blood. She helped grant Inuyasha's Tetsusaiga the useful ability to break through demon barriers, and even Naraku's for a time, after he saves her from her grandfather's grip. In the sequel series, after her mother passed away, Shiori established a haven for half-demon children to live in peace with Setsuna one of her students.\n\nGoryomaru\n\n was a monk who lived in an old temple with a group of orphaned kids. The children, whose parents were killed by demons, were rescued by him and were taken care of. Goryomaru was attacked by a demon which tried to \"absorb\" him. While trying to overpower the demon, his arm got replaced by the demon's laser-shooting cannon-like arm.

She died sometime during Inuyasha's childhood, leaving her son Toga's Robe of the Fire Rat and a shell containing Izayoi's favorite rouge, which he gave to Kikyo as a gift via flashbacks in the anime before ending up with Kaede and later Moroha.\n\nHosenki I\n\n is an oyster-demon who cultivates a variety of magical jewels. He created the black pearl in Inuyasha's right eye that enabled Sesshomaru to travel to his father's grave and try to steal Tetsusaiga, the sword his father willed to Inuyasha.

However, he has been corrupted by a tainted shard of the Shikon Jewel and attacks Inuyasha.

", known in Western order as Aoshi Shinomori in the English version of the anime, is a fictional character in the Rurouni Kenshin manga series created by Nobuhiro Watsuki. He is the genius young of the Oniwabanshū for Edo Castle. After the Meiji Restoration Shinomori alone was offered rankings in the military, however, instead of abandoning his comrades, he decided to work with them for Takeda Kanryū. This decision leads to the death of his comrades and his defeat by Himura Kenshin, which results in driving him mad. For the remainder of the series, Shinomori swears to kill Kenshin at any cost in order to gain the title of \"the strongest\" and bestow this title upon the graves of his fallen comrades.\n\nCreation and conception\n\nNobuhiro Watsuki based Shinomori on Hijikata Toshizō, the Vice-Commander of the Shinsengumi. There are most certainly versions of Hijikata portrayed in books and fiction; Aoshi grew out of the Hijikata who killed his gentler feelings and buried his human weakness. Watsuki describes himself as a fan of the other version of Hijikata. Watsuki describes that version of Hijikata, seen in Moeyo Ken (Burn, O Sword), as \"a bundle of raw combat-instinct who keeps fighting until the very death.\" Since, according to Watsuki, the addition of the Oniwabanshū occurred during the \"last minute,\" he found difficulty writing with him since he had not resolved a \"concrete image\" for Aoshi. Watsuki says that he used no specific design model for Aoshi. As the image of Hijikata grew stronger within Watsuki, the Rurouni Kenshin author added fringes (bangs) to Aoshi's design. Watsuki held a chance to change the hairstyle while compiling the edited manga, but chose not to edit the hairstyle, since he did not want readers to believe that \"Aoshi was wearing a rug or anything.\"\n\nWatsuki said he originally intended for his design of the 13-year-old \"young Aoshi\" to be used for another character. He says that many female readers liked young Aoshi. He described drawing Aoshi's fringes as \"a pain.\"\n\nDuring the run of the Kyoto arc, Watsuki reported receiving a reader letter that said \"I'll bet Aoshi is gonna be another one of those characters who just happens to be around to help Kenshin in times of need.\" The letter \"kind of got to\" Watsuki and he told himself that Aoshi is going to be a \"bad guy.\" As a response Watsuki decided to make Aoshi an antagonist in the arc and fight Okina (Kashiwazaki Nenji), his former master.\n\nShinomori is portrayed by Yusuke Iseya in the second, third live-action and forth films, Rurouni Kenshin: Kyoto Inferno, Rurouni Kenshin: The Legend Ends and Rurouni Kenshin: The Final.\n\nAppearances\n\nBorn in January 1853 in Tokyo Prefecture, Shinomori Aoshi was raised a ninja of the Oniwabanshū, who worked for the Shogunate government during the Edo period. At the suggestion of Kashiwazaki Nenji (better known as Okina), Shinomori was given the position of Okashira at the age of fifteen, in time for the Oniwabanshou to defend Edo Castle. As a member of the Oniwabanshuu, he helped to raise Makimachi Misao from childhood. Misao, who was his protegee developed a strong admiration and romantic feelings for him. Aoshi is a grandmaster and Okashira of the Oniwanbanshou shinobi. Aoshi's weapon of choice is a kodachi, a sword that is described in the series to act like a shield because its light weight makes it easy to block with. He originally used only one of these short swords for defense and relied mainly on kenpo for his offense, but later used a two-sworded style. Among several from his Kodachi nito Ryu, the is the strongest.\n\nAfter the revolution, since a few members of the Oniwabanshū were unable to adapt to life in the Meiji era, Aoshi and these members worked for the corrupt, power-hungry business man, Takeda Kanryū instead. Aoshi's subordinates included Beshimi, who specialized in darts and poison; Hyottoko, whose name literally means \"Fire Man\" who breathes fire; Han'nya, a skilled martial artist and deft ninjutsu practitioner; and Shikijō, a scarred \"muscle man\". During the early chapters of the manga, the Oniwabanshū work to capture Takani Megumi under orders from Kanryu. This leads them to clash with Kenshin and his allies who want to stop Megumi's work involving opium. As the oniwabanshu are defeated by Kenshin and his friends, Kanryu betrays them and tries to kill them. Aoshi is the only survivor who escapes to become stronger to kill Kenshin and obtain the title of the strongest in favor of his dead subordinates.\n\nFollowing his training, Shishio Makoto's forces hire Aoshi to aid them in their fight against Kenshin who is now aided by the remaining retired Oniwabanshu. This leads to Aoshi having to personally confront and nearly kill Okina. Misao is shocked to see how coldblooded Aoshi has become and tells Kenshin to kill him. Kenshin refuses, claiming that the Kaiten Kenbu should have killed Okina but Aoshi is still retaining his humanity. During their rematch, Kenshin wakes up Aoshi's past persona and defeats him with his own ogi. When Kenshin is defeated by Shishio, Aoshi briefly replaces him as he states that Kenshin only lost due to his previous wounds. After Shishio dies in combat, the former Okashira stays in Kyoto.\n\nIn the final arc of the series, Aoshi and Misao are requested by Okina to take a diary to Tokyo. Once they reach Tokyo, Aoshi solves Yukishiro Enishi's trick of having orchestrated the fake death of Kamiya Kaoru. He then joins Saito Hajime in finding his hideout. After they are successful, Aoshi and Misao join Kenshin's group to rescue Kaoru from Enishi which Aoshi contributes by defeating one of his bodyguards. Following their victory, Aoshi and Misao return to Kyoto but make a brief shortcut to plant flowers in their late allies' graves.\n\nReception\nDaryl Surat of Otaku USA said that while, in Surat's view, Aoshi does not engaged in \"meaningful\" battles, the character scored highly in popularity polls among readers because Aoshi appears \"like a CLAMP character wearing Gambit's coat.\" Surat used Aoshi as an example of Rurouni Kenshin being a \"neo-shonen\" work that appeals to both boys and girls. T.H.E.M. Anime Reviews praised the Oniwabanshu organization for acting not like stereotypical villains and instead characters who could also work as heroes. Mania.com remarks the build up Aoshi, Saito and other characters bring to the story due to how they similar goals but felt that Misao's attempts to reach Aoshi might be annoying. Mania praised the second match between Shinomori and Kenshin despite the apparent rehash but noted there were parallels between both fighters with Sagara's line regarding how Shinomori is ready to die after the battle while Kenshin, on the other hand, comes across as a warrior who achieved a desire to survive to all battles. Similarly, Chris Beveridge from Mania Entertainment praised the build up the anime's Kyoto arc has had as after fighting so much build up in the too based on how Shinomori, Saito and Sagara try to back up the weakened Kenshin to aid him in defeating Shishio Makoto but the execution felt like a writer copout. Due to Kaoru, Kenshin and Sanosuke missing from the final arc during the Jinchu arc, Manga News described Aoshi as the star of the series' 24th volume due to how he explores the mysteries behind Enishi's revenge and his subsequent actions that made him stand out most notably because he had been absent for multiple chapters.\n\nIseya's portrayal of Shinomori also received good response with describing his character as \"melodramatic\" with a \"vengeful demeanor\", J Generation also praised Shinomori's characterization for how he fits in Kyoto Inferno due to his connections with Shishio but lamented how he does not get to fight Kenshin in this film. Filmedinether felt that despite changes in regards to Shinomori's story from the original series, his character fits well into the manga and praised his fight scenes. Marcus Goh from Yahoo! regarded his duel with Kenshin as the best fight in the films. On the other hand, Anime News Network lamented the screentime the cast in general has in Kyoto Inferno as he and Misao \"are shortchanged by the larger demands of the story.\" For the third film, the same site said that \"the resolution for characters like Aoshi feels undercooked\".\n\nReferences\n\nComics characters introduced in 1994\nFictional assassins in comics\nFictional ninja\nFictional characters based on real people\nFictional characters from Tokyo\nFictional kenjutsuka\nFictional kenpō practitioners\nFictional male martial artists\nFictional mercenaries in comics\nFictional Ninjutsu practitioners\nFictional swordfighters in anime and manga\nMale characters in anime and manga\nMartial artist characters in anime and manga\nRurouni Kenshin characters",

But don't be fooled. Its depiction of the proverbial tug-of-war between tradition and new ideas is quite involving.\" In a review of the film for Midnight Eye, Jasper Sharp concluded: \"A great piece of independent filmmaking that actually has something to say, Yoshino's Barber Shop is the kind of low-key offering that, unfortunately, far too seldom makes it past the film festival circuit\".\n\nReferences\n\nExternal links\n \n\n2000s Japanese films\nJapanese comedy films\nJapanese coming-of-age films\nFilms about rebellions\nFilms directed by Naoko Ogigami",

"Occupation is a three-part drama serial broadcast by BBC One in June 2009. It was written by Peter Bowker and produced by Kudos for BBC Northern Ireland.\n\nIt took four years to bring the serial to screen. Filming took place in Morocco and Northern Ireland.\n\nThe serial follows the fortunes of three British Army soldiers from the 2003 invasion of Basra to 2007. Each is inspired to return to Basra for different reasons: one returns for love, one for monetary gain, and one for his belief in the mission to rebuild the country.\n\nIt received the British Academy Television Award for Best Drama Serial in 2010.\n\nEpisodes\n\nEpisode 1\nA British Army section led by Sergeant Mike Swift are attempting to assault a sniper group in an apartment block in Basra. The group are caught in a grenade blast, and several members of the section and an innocent young Iraqi girl are injured. Swift carries the girl to a local hospital, where he meets Dr Aliya Nabil. The unit returns to Manchester, England, with Swift being hailed as a hero, but all experience difficulty integrating back into normal family life. The girl and Aliya have also travelled to England, and Swift begins to fall in love with the doctor, nearly embarking on an affair. Having left the Army, Corporal Danny Ferguson finds solace in drugs, before going into partnership with Sergeant Erik Lester, a former U.S. Marine who was impressed by Ferguson's calmness under fire and has gone into business as a contractor for a private military company. Ferguson and Lester return to Iraq, and secure a contract to escort American businessmen around hospitals and clinics they are planning to rebuild. Lance Corporal Lee Hibbs, having also left the Army and being unimpressed with work as a nightclub bouncer, joins Ferguson and Lester, thinking he can play a role in rebuilding Iraq. On their first assignment, the escort group dress and apply makeup to look like Arabs, and begin their escort job in two old cars. After becoming separated from their other car, Ferguson and Lester, with the American businessman, are ambushed in a roadblock, and the episode ends with Ferguson somewhat comically stripping naked in front of a British patrol shouting \"I'm from Kirkby!\", mirroring the actor's real world origins, in order to prove he is British, the car having been driven away from the ambush by Lester, who has been shot in the neck. Meanwhile, Aliya and the little girl return to Iraq without telling Swift, leading him to volunteer to return.\n\nEpisode 2\nEpisode 2 begins in March 2004, four months after episode 1. Swift, promoted to Staff Sergeant and transferred to the Royal Army Medical Corps, is looking for Aliya by enquiring at her former hospital, where he meets Dr Sadiq Alasadi, a male doctor and influential local figure, who had been missing presumed dead in prison under Saddam Hussein's rule. Having saved the American, Lester and Ferguson outfit, Pacific Solutions, has flourished, and they are looking to expand from simple escort protection of contractors, to organising the reconstruction projects as well, starting with Sadiq's hospital. Reunited, Ferguson informs Swift that he knows where Aliya is, and while as a friend warns him against contacting her, as a businessman he says he will tell him, in exchange for putting a word in with Sadiq. He agrees, but on finding her working in another clinic she again refuses his advances and reveals she had been married all along. Swift, Ferguson and Lester meet Sadiq at the hospital, and once he learns of Swift's earlier heroics, Paterson and Lester secure the contract. In the process, Swift learns that Sadiq is Aliya's husband, to the amusement of Lester and Ferguson. On a further visit, Aliya rejects an offer from Swift to take her to England, even though conditions for her are worsening in Iraq.\n\nMoving into August 2004, Yunis, an Iraqi translator working for Pacific solutions, who has befriended Hibbs, leaves the firm to set up his own pizzeria. While at his shop, Yunis is murdered by two Iraqi policeman for collaborating. Hibbs is off guard not expecting danger, as he trained the pair while he was in the Army. Hibbs, angry at the death, seeks revenge, but is persuaded not to act by Ferguson and Lester. Fearing he is having a breakdown, Ferguson arranges for Swift to take Hibbs back to England on his transport a week later, as he finishes his second tour.\n\nA year later, Hibbs and Swift are back home, and it is around the time of the 7 July 2005 London bombings. Hibbs' view of the Iraqi people has hardened, and he states he endorses the July attackers' actions, if it makes his sister, who has constantly opposed the war, realise \"what they are like\". Meanwhile, in Iraq, Pacific Solutions is expanding, and Ferguson and Lester enter a partnership with Western investors in Dubai, explaining how they cream money off the top of coalition reconstruction grants by inventing cost overruns. Swift's wife has guessed that he had an affair and demands he leave the marital home. Hibbs, obsessed with Yunis's death, returns to Iraq at Christmas, visits his wife and family, and gives them all his savings. On leaving their house, he is kidnapped by a militant group led by the two policeman he knows. The episode ends with Hibbs being forced to video a statement stating that he is a private contractor and he and the United States and British forces should not be in Iraq. Meanwhile, against the wishes of Lester, Ferguson and a colleague look for him in the streets of Basra.\n\nEpisode 3\nStill in December 2005, Ferguson has located the police station where Hibbs is being held after being told by Yassin, Yunis's teenage son, who witnessed the kidnap. He is successfully exchanged for money, to the anger of Lester. To pay back Lester, Ferguson persuades him that Hibbs can be used to drive a regular truck shipment they have been contracted to undertake from Kuwait to Basra, which routinely runs empty while Pacific Solutions are still paid for the job. Ferguson and Lester meet Sadiq to sign off on a contract. After Ferguson attempts a last minute change to the sundries total from $6,000 to $60,000, the doctor refuses to sign the contract, to the annoyance of Lester who sees an avenue to millions of dollars' worth of contacts closed. Back at base, Ferguson forges the doctor's signature on the contract and tells Lester to go ahead with it. Sadiq gets into an argument with three young militiamen who want treatment for a wounded member, but object to the hospital's continued use of women doctors against mosque instructions. As he leaves for home, he is kidnapped by unseen assailants as he stands next to his car.\n\nBy June 2007, Swift's son, Richard, has decided to join the Army, and instead of leaving the Army, Swift, who is now divorced, returns to Basra to watch over his son on his first tour. Relations between Lester and Ferguson worsen as Ferguson expresses boredom with life in Dubai. They agree to split their skills, with Lester in Dubai and Petersen in Basra. Swift learns of Sadiq's kidnap, and visits his wife in the hospital, where she is now forced to work out of sight in the pharmacy. While he is obliged to communicate through a male intermediary, she tells him she does not know who is holding him and that no ransom demand has been made. After consulting with Yassin, Swift theorises that, since no ransom has been demanded, he may have been arrested by British or American authorities, but gets nowhere with inquiries. Swift arranges for Hibbs to bring Aliya to his office, where they have sex, apparently for the first time, and Yassin, who has been getting progressively more religious, expresses displeasure at being in the company of \"immoral women\" like her.\n\nThree months later, having got nowhere, Swift turns to Ferguson for help, and they argue, as Ferguson assumes that Sadiq must have done something to deserve being arrested, being no good just like \"everybody in this country\", bombing and killing each other over religion and tribal conflict. After Swift leaves, Ferguson eventually instructs Hibbs and a colleague to do a job for him; they protest that they should not go outside with fewer than six men, and he counters that work is drying up and they cannot afford to use more. Hibbs meets an Arab pair in the desert, who in exchange for money, hand over a hooded man, who Hibbs discovers is Sadiq. They return him to the hospital, and pay him off with compensation, insisting the incident was a case of mistaken identity.\n\nAs they leave, they drive into a demonstrating mob, and after grounding their car are forced to escape on foot as the mob turns on them. As Swift is in the British base, attempting to counsel his son who is not coping well with his first tour, he gets a message from Aliya, asking him to come to the hospital. On arriving, Sadiq reveals it was Ferguson who kidnapped him, and he urges Swift to go to the press to expose Pacific Solutions and to take Aliya out of Iraq, intimating that he knows of their affair, but believes that he \"is finished\" and that Swift is her best hope of safety. Lester returns to the Basra Pacific office, and is angry at Ferguson, blaming his erratic behaviour, bullying and forgery for losing a multimillion-dollar oil field deal. As they argue, Ferguson receives a call for help from Hibbs, who with his colleague are pinned down. Lester prepares to leave to help Hibbs, while urging Ferguson to take some responsibility for the situation. Ferguson responds by stating he will call the British Army in to rescue the pair, over objections from Lester, who states it would finish them in Iraq.\n\nRichard Swift is a member of the patrol tasked to rescue Hibbs, but is separated from his unit and finds himself in an apartment block. He unsuccessfully attempts to radio for help, and then texts his father, who is in the hospital with Sadiq and Aliya; all three are by now helping the victims of the developing violence outside. As militia arrive, Yassin now among them, Swift is urged to leave by his translator. As Swift leaves, Aliya is pinned up against a wall and shot in the head by Yassin. Swift receives the text message from his son, and finds him dead in the apartment block.\n\nBack in England, Ferguson, Hibbs and Swift are at Richard's funeral. The episode ends with the men in a bar afterwards, with Swift angry at Ferguson, blaming him for his son being there, fighting the guilt of having not got to him in time. Hibbs, having become a counsellor for returning servicemen, is prepared to aid Swift in \"taking down\" Ferguson and Lester with information about their dodgy dealings. Ferguson retaliates by stating that his new-found reason for risking his life in Iraq is money, in contrast to the lack of a reason while in the Army. Swift questions what has happened to him, to which he replies \"I went to Iraq, why, what happened to you?\". The episode ends poignantly as all three are left sitting in the bar, all close to tears.\n\nCast\n James Nesbitt as Mike Swift\n Stephen Graham as Danny Ferguson\n Warren Brown as Lee Hibbs\n Nonso Anozie as Erik Lester\n Yigal Naor as Dr Sadiq Alasadi\n Lubna Azabal as Dr Aliya Nabil\n Omar Berdouni as Ahmed\n Monica Dolan as Nicky Swift\n Andrew-Paul Roberts as Richard Swift\n Lewis Alsamari as Yunis\n Fenar Mohammed-Ali as Yassin\nGreg Kelly as Spike\n John Prentice as John Prentice the 3rd of Lisburn Town\n\nCritical reception\nTim Walker of The Independent called Occupation \"a predictably masterly production\" but felt that its \"bleak climax...stretched the bounds of plausibility\". Writing for The Times, Caitlin Moran praised Nesbitt's performance as \"surpringsly gripping\". Helen Rumbelow, also from The Times, reviewed the first episode and felt the opening \"a sequence of brilliant film-making\" but criticised the acting from Nesbitt and Graham as \"a touch too comedic\". The Telegraph felt the series gave \"a poignant sense of the ironies\" of the war in Iraq, praised writer Peter Bowker and summarised by calling the series \"Truly excellent\". Kathryn Flett wrote in The Guardian that \"Nesbitt was very good and easy to like\" but \"not the film's star\", feeling that performances by Stephen Graham and Warren Brown \"made the deeper, more lasting impression\". She also praised the writing as \"thrilling - funny, sad, real, believable\".\n\nReferences\n\nExternal links\n\nOccupation at BBC Press Office\nDaniel Pemberton (composer)\n\n2000s British drama television series\n2009 British television series debuts\n2009 British television series endings\nIraq War in television\nBritish military television series\nTelevision shows set in Northern Ireland\n2000s war drama films\nTelevision series set in 2003\nTelevision series set in 2004\nTelevision series set in 2005\nTelevision series set in 2006\nTelevision series set in 2007\nBritish war drama films",

"The Office is a British mockumentary television sitcom first broadcast in the UK on BBC Two on 9 July 2001. Created, written and directed by Ricky Gervais and Stephen Merchant, the programme follows the day-to-day lives of office employees in the Slough branch of the fictional Wernham Hogg paper company. Gervais also starred in the series, playing the central character David Brent.\n\nTwo six-episode series were made, followed by a two-part Christmas special. When it was first shown on BBC Two, ratings were relatively low, but it has since become one of the most successful of all British comedy exports. As well as being shown internationally on BBC Worldwide, channels such as BBC Prime, BBC America, and BBC Canada, the series has been sold to broadcasters in over 80 countries, including ABC1 in Australia, The Comedy Network in Canada, TVNZ in New Zealand, and the pan-Asian satellite channel Star World, based in Hong Kong. The show was shown in the United States on BBC America from 2001 to 2016, and later on Cartoon Network's late night programming block Adult Swim from 2009 to 2011.\n\nThe show centres on themes of social clumsiness, the trivialities of human behaviour, self-importance and conceit, frustration, desperation and fame. The success of The Office led to a number of localised adaptations (based upon its basic story and themes) being produced for the television markets of other nations, resulting in an international Office franchise, including the successful and Emmy-winning American remake on NBC starring Steve Carell as David Brent's counterpart, Michael Scott.\n\nPremise\nThe show is a mockumentary based in a branch of a large paper company called Wernham Hogg (where \"life is stationery\"), in the Slough Trading Estate in Berkshire. Slough is a large town immortalised for its lack of appeal by John Betjeman in his poem \"Slough\" (\"Come, friendly bombs and fall on Slough/It isn't fit for humans now...\").\nThe office is headed by general manager David Brent (Gervais), aided by his team leader and Assistant to the Regional Manager Gareth Keenan, played by Mackenzie Crook. Much of the series' comedic success stems from Brent, who frequently makes attempts to win favour with his employees and peers with embarrassing or disastrous results. Brent's character flaws are used to comic effect, including numerous verbal gaffes, inadvertent racism and sexism, and other social faux pas.\n\nThe other main plot line of the series concerns the unassuming Tim Canterbury (Martin Freeman) and his relationship with bored receptionist Dawn Tinsley (Lucy Davis). Their flirtation soon builds to a mutual romantic attraction, despite her engagement to dour and laddish warehouse worker Lee (Joel Beckett).\n\nCast and characters\n\nMain\n Ricky Gervais as David Brent:The general manager of the Slough branch of Wernham Hogg paper merchants. Boorish and ignorant, he believes he is a lovable rogue in the business world and a Renaissance man, talented in philosophy, music and comedy. Although he thinks he is humorous, friendly and respected, others perceive him as offensive, childish and inconsiderate. His lack of awareness regarding his ineptitude, lack of trust from colleagues, constant need of approval, and his failing way of trying to stay out of trouble are the driving plot points of the series.\n Martin Freeman as Tim Canterbury:A sales representative at Wernham Hogg. Unlike David, Tim is funny and patient. His humour and good nature make him one of the most likeable employees in the office, but at 30 he still lives with his parents and works at a job he hates. During Series One and Two, he also fails to further pursue a relationship with Dawn. Chosen as David's successor at the end of Series 2, he declines and lets Gareth take the position.\n Mackenzie Crook as Gareth Keenan:Tim's vindictive deskmate and enemy. Gareth is a cold-hearted jobsworth. He takes pride in being \"Team Leader\", not realising his title is meaningless, and he imposes the little authority he has on his co-workers.\n Lucy Davis as Dawn Tinsley:The company receptionist and Brent's dogsbody. She frequently has to put up with his attempts at humour and social interaction. Like her friend and co-worker Tim, she is aware of the miserable state of her life – she has been in an unhappy engagement with her fiancé Lee, a boorish warehouse worker, and gave up illustrating children's books to pursue her current career. During the Christmas special, Dawn and Lee return from their illegally prolonged US vacation. She finally leaves Lee for Tim, after he encourages her to hold on to her dream of being a children's book illustrator, an ambition which Lee sought to put down at every opportunity.\n\nRecurring\n\nIntroduced in Series 1\n\n Stirling Gallacher as Jennifer Taylor-Clarke:Previously Brent's immediate superior in Series one. At the end of Series One she is made a partner in the firm, with Neil Godwin becoming David's immediate superior in Series 2.\n Oliver Chris as Ricky Howard:Introduced as Brent's new temp in the pilot, and a recent graduate. He was prominently featured in episode three, where he and Tim form a team for trivia night. The two end up winning, successfully answering a tie-breaker question on Shakespeare against Finch.\n Ralph Ineson as Chris \"Finchy\" Finch:A boorish and bullying sales representative. David describes him as his \"best friend\" but his attempts to impress Finch are invariably repaid with mockery and insults. In the Christmas Special, David finally stands up to Chris.\n Patrick Baladi as Neil Godwin:Brent's counterpart at the Swindon branch and eventually his immediate superior. He is young, suave, handsome and hard-working, a more successful manager than Brent, and respected by his staff.\n Ewen MacIntosh as Keith Bishop: Keith works in the accounts department.\n Joel Beckett as Lee: Dawn's fiancé who works in the company's warehouse. She met him in school and they have been together ever since. Lee is humourless, dull, and controlling. He often undermines and embarrasses Dawn, and is dismissive of her ideas of being an illustrator. His idea of a romantic proposal was a four-word notice in the newspaper — \"Lee love Dawn. Marriage?\" It is clear from an early stage that she stays with him out of a fear of loneliness rather than real love.\n David Schaal as Glynn, also known as Taffy: The misogynistic, sexist warehouse manager at the company and Lee's supervisor.\n Robin Hooper as Malcolm: An older staff member, he is worried about the prospect of redundancies and often challenges Brent's handling of the situation.\n Sally Bretton as Donna: Introduced in Series 1, episode 2 as the daughter of Brent's friends Ron and Elaine, who has come to work at the office. She soon starts a relationship with Ricky.\n Nicola Cotter as Karen Roper: Brent's personal secretary, hired because he insists that he needs an assistant, even though the branch is facing downsizing and redundancies.\n\nIntroduced in Series 2\n Rachel Isaac as Trudy: Trudy is first introduced in Series Two as one of several of the new intake from the Swindon branch. \n Howard Saddler as Oliver: Oliver is the only black person working in the office, and is the target for David's misguided attempts to show what a politically correct and racially tolerant man he is.\n Julie Fernandez as Brenda: Brenda is a wheelchair user who suffers from David's attempts to portray himself as a tolerant and progressive person.\n\nEpisodes\n\nProduction\nIn June 1998 Merchant and Gervais made a 20 minute film starring Gervais entitled Seedy Boss as part of Merchant's TV producer training for the BBC. The pair had met when Merchant was hired as Gervais' assistant at radio station Xfm; neither had any previous television experience. Gervais' character in the film was based on one he would perform to amuse staff at the radio station.\n\nAsh Atalla showed the tape to BBC Two head Jane Root who commissioned a series based on it. Filming took place in an office at Teddington Studios.\n\nUnlike most British sitcoms The Office used a single-camera setup (where multiple-camera setups were traditional) and no laughter track. This production style influenced subsequent comedies such as Peep Show, Twenty Twelve, Fleabag and Motherland.\n\nMusic\nThe theme song for the show is \"Handbags and Gladrags\", arranged by Big George and originally written in the 1960s by Mike d'Abo, former vocalist for the rock group Manfred Mann. The song \"Sitting\" by Cat Stevens was also considered by Gervais and Merchant to be the theme song for the show but was later rejected. \n\nIn Series 1, episode 4, a version performed by Gervais (in character as Brent) was featured over the end credits.\n\nThe first series also features Gervais performing \"Free Love Freeway\" and the Christmas Special includes him performing \"If You Don't Know Me By Now\".\n\nReception\n\nCritical response\nThe show has received critical acclaim, and has been regarded as one of the greatest British sitcoms of all time. Series one currently holds a Metacritic score of 98 out of 100, based on 12 reviews, indicating \"universal acclaim\".

Gervais was also awarded the Golden Globe For Best Actor in a Television series: Comedy or Musical. The same year, the series won a Peabody Award.\n\nLegacy\n\nThe success of The Office led to a number of localised adaptations (based upon its basic story and themes) being produced for the television markets of other nations, resulting in an international Office franchise, including the successful and Emmy-winning American remake starring Steve Carell as David Brent's counterpart, Michael Scott.\n\nHome video releases\n \n\nFollow-ups\nTelevision short\nA Comic Relief charity short was made in 2013 entitled The Return of Brent (also known as The Office Revisited).\n\nYouTube shorts\nIn 2013, Gervais developed a series of videos, and released them on his YouTube channel entitled \"Learn Guitar with David Brent\". Within three months, the series had collected over 2 million views.\n\nFilm\n\nThe Brent character also featured in the 2016 film David Brent: Life on the Road, this time with the contributions of Gervais but not Merchant.\n\nOther media\nIn 2004, Microsoft UK commissioned two 20-minute corporate videos, entitled \"The Office Values\" and \"Realising Potential\", featuring David Brent being interviewed by Jeff (played by Stephen Merchant), a Microsoft employee who becomes increasingly exasperated by Brent's antics. Brent is obviously resentful of the company's success. He believes he has what it takes to become the next managing director of Microsoft and continually drops hints to that effect. While not on general release, the videos emerged on the Internet in 2006. The clips also appeared on certain peer-to-peer networks. Microsoft was unhappy with the leak, stating that the videos \"were never intended to be viewed by the public\". During the first video, Brent plays the guitar, the lyrics advocating his ideas in opposition to Microsoft and technology.\n\nReferences\n\nFurther reading\n De Jongste, Henri (2020) Playing with Mental Models: Humour in the BBC Comedy Series The Office.

Becoming the licensee of a pub in Ash, Surrey, The Bricklayer's Arms, Martin briefly considered leaving the entertainment business, but was soon lured back.

"Martin Dressler: The Tale of an American Dreamer is a 1996 novel by Steven Millhauser. It won the 1997 Pulitzer Prize for Fiction and was a finalist for the 1996 National Book Award. It follows the exploits of Martin Dressler, a young, optimistic entrepreneur, in late nineteenth-century New York City. It vividly evokes its time and place through elaborate description.\n\nPlot summary\n\nFrom humble beginnings as an assistant in his immigrant father's cigar shop, Martin begins employment as a bellboy at the Vanderlyn hotel. He rises through its hierarchy through promotions, due to his reputation as a bright, conscientious worker. When he is offered the position of assistant manager, he quits to focus instead on managing a chain of restaurants. Later, he builds his own new concept for an extravagant hotel, the Hotel Dressler.\n\nHe finds a friend and business partner in sister-in-law Emmeline Vernon, while his ambiguous, distant marriage to her withdrawn sister, Caroline, is a source of confusion and disappointment. A focus of the novel is Martin's imagination for grand, sweeping business ideas, and his instinctive sense for orchestrating large systems. Through all this Martin has the persistent feeling that there must be something bigger waiting around the next corner. One of the novel's themes is that emptiness may lie behind the ideal of the American Dream.\n\nReferences\n\nExternal links\n Photos of the first edition of Martin Dressler: The Tale of an American Dreamer\n\n1996 American novels\nPulitzer Prize for Fiction-winning works\nAmerican historical novels\nNovels set in New York City",

"This article contains summaries of characters appearing on the TV series Studio 60 on the Sunset Strip.\n\nMajor roles\n\n (Bradley Whitford) is a producer who takes over show-running duties with Matt Albie, his long-time friend, and who worked on the show four years prior, before leaving with Matt over disagreements with network executives. In the pilot, it is revealed that he has a history of alcoholism and drug problems, specifically with cocaine, and recently suffered a relapse after 11 years of sobriety. Danny has to complete 18 months of clean drug tests to obtain completion bonds as a film director; while this information was confidential, Jordan McDeere discovers this via a personal contact and offers Danny a two-year contract of convenience on Studio 60. He is twice-divorced. Danny claims to be the smarter of the Matt and Danny duo, a contention Matt does not argue with.\n\nDanny is apparently largely based on Aaron Sorkin's frequent collaborator and Studio 60 executive producer Thomas Schlamme, although Danny's drug relapse corresponds with Sorkin's personal history.\n\n (Matthew Perry) is a former head writer for Studio 60 who in the show's pilot episode, is asked to return when executive producer Wes Mendell is fired. With Danny, Matt has gone from strength to strength, with the pair going onto films and Matt even winning a Writer's Guild Award on the night featured in the pilot. It is because of his loyalty to his friend and his history with Studio 60 that Matt accepts the position. This also puts him in an awkward position; he has recently ended a relationship with Studio 60 star Harriet Hayes, for whom he still holds strong personal feelings. Despite his Jewish heritage, he is an atheist and has liberal political leanings, which causes tension between him and Harriet. In \"The West Coast Delay\", it is revealed that he was forced out of his prior role on the show for supporting talk show host Bill Maher in the light of comments that Maher made following the September 11 terrorist attacks.\n\nJordan McDeere (Amanda Peet) is the recently promoted President for Entertainment Programming for the network NBS (National Broadcasting System) of which Studio 60 is the flagship show. She is described in the pilot script as an \"instantly likeable 30-something\" and \"someone who every man's wife can find an irrational reason to hate\". While Jordan's previous credentials are impressive, she knows that confidence in her is not very high (on the pilot, she mentions that on the day of the announcement of her hiring, the share price of NBS's parent company instantly took a 3/8 point dip) and the pressure on her to deliver is strong, with particularly intense scrutiny coming from network chairman Jack Rudolph. In the pilot, Jordan is responsible for the hiring of Danny and Matt, knowing of the pair's abrasive history with the show (and Jack). In \"The Cold Open\", Jordan proposes a policy of charging a 20% \"cowardice fee\" to advertisers who had acquiesced to boycotts by the Christian right but came back after the boycotted show in question turned out to be successful. In \"The Focus Group\", Jack reveals that her ex-husband is working on a tell-all book about her. At one wrap party, Danny told Jordan, \"You look like one of them [network executives] but talk like one of us\", due to her willingness to side with the talent in arguments. On October 20, 2006, Peet revealed on The Tonight Show with Jay Leno that McDeere is loosely based on Jamie Tarses. Peet's real-life pregnancy was written into the show, with Jordan being pregnant by an ex-boyfriend.\n\nHarriet Hayes (Sarah Paulson) is a \"multi-talented\" performer and one of the \"Big Three\" main stars of Studio 60. As she describes to journalist Martha O'Dell in \"The Long Lead Story\", Harriet was born in Brighton, Michigan — and uses her middle name because a Hannah Hayes was already registered in the Screen Actors Guild. She is an evangelical Baptist and has recorded a successful album of spiritual music. In the pilot, the recent ending of her romantic relationship with Matt Albie is suggested to have been caused by her appearance on The 700 Club, where she promoted her album. In the pilot, Harriet stood by the controversial \"Crazy Christians\" sketch and its contents, demonstrating fierce loyalty to the show. She tells Tom that rather than being offended by \"Crazy Christians\", she was more upset about not being in the sketch. However, later in her confrontation with Matt she confessed to also being upset about the sketch. She received her undergraduate degree from Rutgers University. Harriet's character is based on West Wing alumna Kristin Chenoweth, whom Sorkin once dated.\n\n (Nate Corddry) is another of the show's \"Big Three\". While his comedic skills and gifts for character parody are acknowledged, he is self-critical and often looks on the Internet at critics' appraisals. According to the pilot script, \"when he's not crafting a joke in his head, he's not sure what he's supposed to be doing\". In \"The Wrap Party\", Tom's parents drive from Ohio to visit him, and demonstrate their lack of understanding of his work. In the same episode, Tom mentions that he sent body armor to his younger brother Mark's unit in Afghanistan. In the \"Nevada Day\" episodes, we find out that Tom's younger brother is in fact a part of a group of armed forces RED HORSE civil engineers that construct buildings incredibly fast, such as \"a hospital in three days\" (quote taken from the episodes).\n\n (D. L. Hughley) is the final member of the \"Big Three\". After attending the Yale School of Drama, and frustrated about parts lost to other prominent black performers (Jamie Foxx, Will Smith and Denzel Washington are named as examples), Simon was recruited to the cast of Studio 60. He feels limited by his skills as a comedic performer, unable to do \"voices\". However, it is seen by his subsequent place in the \"Big Three\", the enthusiastic response of the audience to his warm-ups to the show, and the respect shown to him by Danny in the initial episodes that Simon has rightfully earned his place in the Studio 60 cast. He may be based on black SNL player with a long tenure but a low comedic ceiling, Tim Meadows. Tom and Simon are united by their \"mutual respect, their dedication to their show and nothing else.\" As he told Matt in \"The Wrap Party\", Simon grew up in South Central Los Angeles and risked death or imprisonment as a teenager.\n\n (Steven Weber) is the chairman of the network NBS and Jordan's boss. Jack has a history of controversy with Matt and Danny, having caused the pair to quit Studio 60 four years earlier (in the wake of 9/11), when he ordered the two to apologize for a Karl Rove sketch he had expressly approved following pressure from conservative Christian groups, a move that he would later regret. While his frustrations at the re-hiring of Matt and Danny are evident, his main focus of administrative swagger is over Jordan, upon whom he places enormous pressure to succeed. In the pilot, he says, \"I'm not like the other heterosexual males in the show business, Jordan. I don't find you charming.\" Jack has a quick and intense temper which he frequently brandishes, but is also a man of conviction, coming to Jordan's defense in a period of personal turmoil and vehemently defending the independence of the nightly news. Jack reports to Wilson White, Chairman of TMG, NBS's parent company.\n\n (Timothy Busfield) is the technical director of Studio 60. He has two children he is putting through private school. In the pilot, he allows Wes to rant unscripted for 53 seconds on live television, despite threats from network Standards and Practices executive Jerry; Danny so highly approved that he told Cal he would have earned a raise had he let Wes rant for 54 seconds. Cal is thoroughly upbeat with an equally fast-and-fluid sense of humor and extremely efficient at his job when circumstances change. (Busfield had a recurring guest role on The West Wing and also directed six episodes of Studio 60.\n\nSupporting roles\n (Evan Handler) and (Carlos Jacott) are writers and, as part of their $30,000 per-episode contracts, current co-executive producers of Studio 60. They stepped into the creative void left by Danny and Matt when the pair quit, and in the pilot are portrayed as poor writers, \"hacks\" and command little professional respect from the stars of the show. Matt refers to them as \"Beavis and Hackboy\". It is revealed that Matt harbors a grudge against them because when he came out in support of Bill Maher after Maher made a controversial on-air remark, Ricky released a statement hanging Matt out to dry. They may have won an Emmy for writing in the past (Matt mentions this in the context of a disparagement of which other parts were made up). In \"The Option Period\", Ricky and Ron leave the show to pursue a spin-off pilot on Fox of \"Peripheral Vision Man\", a Studio 60 sketch.\n\n (Judd Hirsch) is the former executive producer and creator of Studio 60. His power is dwindling and he is furious with the network for bowing down to the FCC and religious groups. In the events of the pilot, he is the catalyst that brings Matt and Danny back to the show, fired on the night for the hijacking of the live broadcast of Studio 60 and ranting an improvised tirade, similar to that in the film Network (which is commented on in the pilot itself), venting against bureaucratic control, the influence of minority groups in the censorship of the network, and the nature of the broadcast industry. It is stated that he has worked with many of the great comedy writers and performers, such as Richard Pryor. He is referenced in various episodes, but appears only in the pilot.\n\n (Edward Asner) is the Chairman of Tunney Media Group, the parent company of the National Broadcasting System. This may be a (thinly) veiled reference to Jack Welch, the former head of General Electric, the parent company of NBC (Via NBC Universal), the network carrying the actual show. His interest in Studio 60 is usually minor, although at times uses it for business ventures, such as in \"Nevada Day\" when in order to secure a deal he arranges for Tom Jeter of Studio 60 to entertain Kim Tao, the daughter of a potential business client.\n\n (Michael Stuhlbarg) works for NBS as network censor. He is in charge of Standards and Practices and responsible for cutting a controversial sketch in \"Pilot\". The cut results in a furious on-air rant from Wes. Jerry later appears during flashbacks in \"K&R Part II\" asking Matt and Danny to cut a sketch about Karl Rove in the show following the beginning of the war in Afghanistan.\n\n (Ayda Field) is a cast member who sleeps with Matt from time to time. This revelation leads Harriet to blow up at Matt in front of the show's writing team. She is considered a gossip on set; in \"The Option Period\", she leaked the news that Harriet was considering posing for a lingerie spread in a men's magazine, and Matt quipped that he didn't think there was such thing as the Internet, there was only \"Jeannie telling people stuff\".\n\n (Simon Helberg) is one of the cast members of Studio 60. He is not a member of the \"Big Three\", but is recognized as the complement to Harriet Hayes, being the lead male impressionist in the cast. He has at least one recurring sketch, The Nicolas Cage Show, in which he plays the title character, and has also portrayed Tom Cruise and Ben Stiller on the show.\n\n (Nate Torrence) is one of the cast members of Studio 60. He is a rookie on the show and doesn't appear to have garnered much respect yet from the likes of the Big Three. In \"Nevada Day 2\", Matt picks Dylan to perform in the \"News 60\" sketch in case Simon does not return from Nevada in time for the show; Dylan is very insecure and self-conscious about his appearance in such a high-profile role until Matt goads Jeannie into flattering and flirting with Dylan to boost his confidence.\n\n (Camille Chen) is one of the cast members of Studio 60. Her most notable sketch is \"Samantha Li's Thai Therapy\".\n\n (Lucy Davis) is an English junior writer on the show and the only pre-Matt and Danny writer to remain after Ricky and Ron's departure. She then begins a romantic relationship with Tom Jeter.\n\n (Teddy Sears) is a professional baseball player, a pitcher for the Los Angeles Dodgers. He started dating Harriet after she sang the National Anthem at a Los Angeles Dodgers game. In \"The Wrap Party\", Harriet found out that Darren also wrote his phone number on a baseball given to Jordan, which apparently ended the relationship.\n\n (Christine Lahti) is a journalist writing a \"long lead story\" about Matt and Danny's return to Studio 60 for Vanity Fair.\n\n (Cyia Batten) is a member of the \"Bombshell Babies\" (a dance group similar to The Pussycat Dolls) and Matt's former girlfriend. In \"The West Coast Delay\" she talks Matt out of a plan to have her sign a stiletto boot in an attempt to get back at Harriet, who had given Matt a baseball bat with Darren Wells's phone number written on it. She reappears a few episodes later at the end of a dinner honoring Harriet and helps Matt back to the theater, where she reveals that she is newly engaged.\n\n (Columbus Short) is a junior writer who is hired by Matt Albie and Simon Stiles after seeing his stand-up act in \"The Wrap Party\".\n\n (Josh Stamberg) used to be a writer on the show and is Matt's main rival for Harriet. He is currently directing a movie about The Rolling Stones and he cast Harriet to play Anita Pallenberg.\n\n (Mark McKinney) was introduced in \"B-12\" after Ricky and Ron's departure (from the prior episode: \"The Option Period\") when Matt needed the help of an extra writer. Andy was previously a writer on Studio 60 years before, while Matt and Danny were still there. After Matt and Danny's initial departure from the show, Andy's wife and daughter died in tragic circumstances. It is revealed in a flashback scene in \"K & R, Part I\" that Matt never saw Andy smile until he walked into the writer's room in 2001 and announced his daughter's birth.\n\n (Merritt Wever) used to be a PA on the show before becoming Matt's assistant. She is the first to confront Matt about his drug use in the episode \"Breaking News\", revealing that her mother took 20-30 Percocets a day before killing herself when Suzanne was 10.\n\n (Stephanie Childers) is the Vice President of Alternative Programming for NBS and has developed an adversarial relationship with Jordan. She first appears in the episode \"Monday\". Jordan has expressed her fear that Galloway is being groomed to take her place after the rocky start to McDeere's tenure as president of the network.\n\n (Kari Matchett) is a lawyer from Gage Whitney Pace who is investigating a sexual harassment suit by Karen Salzburg, a writer who was fired from the show. She has an obvious sexual and romantic interest in Matt.\n\n (John F. Carpenter) is the announcer for the show.\n\n (Raymond Ma) is a Chinese businessman who is behind a multimillion-dollar merger with NBS to turn the city of Macau into \"the Las Vegas of East Asia.\" Zhang becomes a key player when the board of NBS attempts to remove Wilson White as chairman and CEO.\n\n (Julia Ling) is the daughter of Zhang Tao and a viola prodigy. She is infatuated with Tom Jeter.\n\nSee also\n List of Studio 60 on the Sunset Strip episodes\n\nReferences\n\nSunset strip\nSunset strip\nSunset strip",
"The Office is the title of a number of mockumentary sitcoms based on a British series originally created by Ricky Gervais and Stephen Merchant as The Office in 2001. The original series also starred Gervais as the boss and main character of the show. The two seasons were broadcast on BBC Two in 2001 and 2002, totalling 12 episodes, with two special episodes in 2003, and an extra short spectacular ten years later. Versions of the original were subsequently made in Germany, the United States, and many other countries.\n\nNotable adaptations\nThe German version was titled Stromberg and ran for 46 episodes over five seasons, starting in 2004, and the follow-up film Stromberg – Der Film was released in German cinemas in 2014.\n\nThe longest-running version of the series, the US adaptation, ran for nine seasons on the NBC Television Network from 2005 to 2013, with a total of 201 episodes. According to Nielsen Ratings as of April 2019, the US version of The Office was the No. 1 streamed show on Netflix in the United States.\n\nInternational versions\n\n Note that the premise of the German version is more distinct from the original than most of the other versions. The characters are rough counterparts in terms of their role in the series. They generally have different job descriptions and, in a few cases, may not even work for the company at all.

"\"Paris (mythology)\"\nParis (mythology) Paris (), also known as Alexander (, \"\"Aléxandros\"\"), the son of King Priam and Queen Hecuba of Troy, appears in a number of Greek legends. Probably the best known was his elopement with Helen, queen of Sparta, this being one of the immediate causes of the Trojan War. Later in the war, he fatally wounds Achilles in the heel with an arrow as foretold by Achilles’s mother, Thetis. The name \"\"Paris\"\" is probably Luwian and comparable to \"\"Pari-zitis\"\", attested as a Hittite scribe's name. Paris was a child of Priam and Hecuba (see the list of King Priam's",
"Paris (), also known as Alexander (, Aléxandros) is a mythological figure in the story of the Trojan War. He appears in numerous Greek legends and works of Ancient Greek literature such as the Iliad. In myth, he is prince of Troy, son of King Priam and Queen Hecuba, and younger brother of Prince Hector. His elopement with Helen sparks the Trojan War, during which he \nfatally wounds Achilles.\n\nName \n\nThe Ancient Greek name Πάρις is probably of Luwian origin, and comparable to Parizitis, attested as a Hittite scribe's name. The name is etymologically unrelated to that of France's capital city, derived from the Gallic Parisii tribe.\n\nDescription \nParis was described by the chronicler Malalas in his account of the Chronography as \"well-grown, sturdy, white, good nose, good eyes, black pupils, black hair, incipient beard, long-faced, heavy eyebrows, big mouth, charming, eloquent, agile, an accurate archer, cowardly, hedonist\". Meanwhile, in the account of Dares the Phrygian, he was illustrated as \"fair, tall, and brave. His eyes were very beautiful, his hair soft and blond, his mouth charming, and his voice pleasant. He was swift, and eager to take command.\"\n\nFamily \nParis and the nymph Oenone had a son Corythus. By Helen, he had Bunomus, Aganus (\"gentle\"), Idaeus and a daughter also called Helen.\n\nMythology\n\nChildhood\nParis was a child of Priam and Hecuba (see the List of children of Priam). Just before his birth, his mother dreamed that she gave birth to a flaming torch. This dream was interpreted by the seer Aesacus as a foretelling of the downfall of Troy, and he declared that the child would be the ruin of his homeland. On the day of Paris's birth, it was further announced by Aesacus that the child born of a royal Trojan that day would have to be killed to spare the kingdom, being the child that would bring about the prophecy. Though Paris was indeed born before nightfall, he was spared by Priam. Hecuba was also unable to kill the child, despite the urging of the priestess of Apollo, one Herophile. Instead, Paris's father prevailed upon his chief herdsman, Agelaus, to remove the child and kill him. The herdsman, unable to use a weapon against the infant, left him exposed on Mount Ida, hoping he would perish there (cf. Oedipus). He was, however, suckled by a she-bear. Returning after nine days, Agelaus was astonished to find the child still alive and brought him home in a backpack (Greek pḗra, hence by folk etymology Paris’s name) to rear as his own. He returned to Priam bearing a dog's tongue as evidence of the deed's completion.\n\nParis's noble birth was betrayed by his outstanding beauty and intelligence. While still a child, he routed a gang of cattle-thieves and restored the animals they had stolen to the herd, thereby earning the surname Alexander (\"protector of men\"). It was at this time that Oenone became Paris's first lover. She was a nymph from Mount Ida in Phrygia. Her father was Cebren, a river-god or, according to other sources, she was the daughter of Oeneus. She was skilled in the arts of prophecy and medicine, which she had been taught by Rhea and Apollo, respectively. When Paris later left her for Helen, she told him that if he ever was wounded, he should come to her, for she could heal any injury, even the most serious wounds.\n\nParis's chief distraction at this time was to pit Agelaus's bulls against one another. One bull began to win these bouts consistently. Paris began to set it against rival herdsmen's own prize bulls and it defeated them all. Finally, Paris offered a golden crown to any bull that could defeat his champion. Ares responded to this challenge by transforming himself into a bull and easily winning the contest. Paris gave the crown to Ares without hesitation. It was this apparent honesty in judgment that prompted the gods of Olympus to have Paris arbitrate the divine contest between Hera, Aphrodite, and Athena.\n\nJudgment of Paris\n\nIn celebration of the marriage of Peleus and Thetis, Lord Zeus, father of the Greek pantheon, hosted a banquet on Mount Olympus. Every deity and demi-god had been invited, except Eris, the goddess of strife (no one wanted a troublemaker at a wedding). For revenge, Eris threw the golden Apple of Discord inscribed with \"For the most beautiful\" () into the party, provoking a squabble among the attendant goddesses over for whom it had been meant.\n\nThe goddesses thought to be the most beautiful were Hera, Athena, and Aphrodite, and each one claimed the apple. They started a quarrel so they asked Zeus to choose one of them. Knowing that choosing any of them would bring him the hatred of the other two, Zeus did not want to take part in the decision. He thus appointed Paris to select the most beautiful.\n\nEscorted by Hermes, the three goddesses bathed in the spring of Mount Ida and approached Paris as he herded his cattle. Having been given permission by Zeus to set any conditions he saw fit, Paris required that the goddesses undress before him (alternatively, the goddesses themselves chose to disrobe to show all their beauty). Still, Paris could not decide, as all three were ideally beautiful, so the goddesses attempted to bribe him to choose among them. Hera offered ownership of all of Europe and Asia. Athena offered skill in battle, wisdom and the abilities of the greatest warriors. Aphrodite offered the love of the most beautiful woman on Earth: Helen of Sparta. Paris chose Aphrodite and therefore Helen.\n\nHelen was already married to King Menelaus of Sparta (a fact Aphrodite neglected to mention), so Paris had to raid Menelaus's house to steal Helen from him—according to some accounts, she fell in love with Paris and left willingly.\n\nThe Spartans' expedition to retrieve Helen from Paris in Troy is the mythological basis of the Trojan War. This triggered the war because Helen was famous for her beauty throughout Achaea (ancient Greece), and had many suitors of extraordinary ability. Therefore, following Odysseus's advice, her father Tyndareus made all suitors promise to defend Helen's marriage to the man he chose for her. When Paris took her to Troy, Menelaus invoked this oath. Helen's other suitors—who between them represented the lion's share of Achaea's strength, wealth and military prowess—were obliged to help bring her back. Thus, the whole of Greece moved against Troy in force and the Trojan War began.\n\nTrojan War\n\nHomer's Iliad casts Paris as unskilled and cowardly. Although Paris readily admits his shortcomings in battle, his brother Hector scolds and belittles him after he runs away from a duel with Menelaus that was to determine the end of the war. His preference for bow and arrow emphasizes this, since he does not follow the code of honor shared by the other heroes.\n\nEarly in the epic, Paris and Menelaus duel in an attempt to end the war without further bloodshed. Menelaus easily defeats Paris, though Aphrodite spirits him away before Menelaus can finish the duel. Paris is returned to his bedchambers, where Aphrodite forces Helen to be with him.\n\nParis's second attempt at combat is equally fated: rather than engage the Greek hero Diomedes in hand-to-hand combat, Paris wounds Diomedes with an arrow through the foot.\n\nLater, after slaying Hector and other heroes, Achilles dies by an arrow of Paris with Apollo's help. According to Hyginus (Fabulae, 107) Apollo disguised himself as Paris.\n\nLater in the war, after Philoctetes mortally wounds Paris, Helen makes her way to Mount Ida where she begs Paris's first wife, the nymph Oenone, to heal him. Still bitter that Paris had spurned her for his birthright in the city and then forgotten her for Helen, Oenone refuses. Helen returns alone to Troy, where Paris dies later the same day. In another version, Paris himself, in great pain, visits Oenone to plead for healing but is refused and dies on the mountainside. When Oenone hears of his funeral, she runs to his funeral pyre and throws herself in its fire.\n\nAfter Paris's death, his brother Deiphobus married Helen and was then killed by Menelaus in the sack of Troy.\n\nLater treatments\n\n In Dante's Inferno, Paris is one of the sinners punished for lust in the second circle.\n Jacques Offenbach, Henri Meilhac and Ludovic Halévy's 1864 operetta La belle Hélène tells a droll version of the seduction of Helen by Paris, who is the lead male role.\n The 1951 Swedish film Sköna Helena is an adapted version of Offenbach's operetta, starring Max Hansen and Eva Dahlbeck.\n In the 1956 film Helen of Troy, Paris, as the main character, is portrayed as a heroic character who at first worships peace and love but is later forced to take up arms against the treacherous Greeks.\n In prose he appears as the main character in Rudolf Hagelstange's 1959 book Spielball der Götter (Game of Gods).\n In the 1961 film Trojan Horse, Paris is played by Warner Bentivegna.\n In the 1962 film The Fury of Achilles, Paris is played by Roberto Risso.\n The Judgment of Paris and its aftermath are the subject of Michael Tippett's 1962 opera King Priam.\n In 1986 the song Crimes of Paris by Elvis Costello on his album Blood & Chocolate asks the question, \"Who'll pay for the Crimes of Paris, who's gonna pay for the Crimes of Paris?\"\n In Aaron Allston's 1993 novel Galatea in 2-D, a painting of Paris, brought to life, is used against a painting of Achilles brought to life.\n In the 2003 TV miniseries Helen of Troy, the character Paris, played by actor Matthew Marsden, is killed by Agamemnon.\n The story was also made into a 2003 musical, Paris, written by Jon English and David Mackay.

The Greeks' expedition to retrieve Helen from Paris in Troy is the mythological basis of the Trojan War.

"Fairfax Mastick Cone (February 21, 1903 – June 20, 1977) or Fax Cone, was an American businessperson, advertising executive and the former director of the American Association of Advertising Agencies.\n\nEarly years \nCone's father was a prospector and a mining engineer. His mother, Isabelle Fairfax Williams (1869–1940), was a schoolteacher in San Francisco. In 1921 Cone enrolled at the University of California, Berkeley, originally intending to be an illustrator. Eventually he graduated with a degree in English. Due to a problem with his credentials, Cone got a job as an advertising clerk with the San Francisco Examiner rather than a teaching fellowship. In 1928, Cone left the paper for an advertising agency, thus embarking on a career that would leave an indelible mark on his life.\n\nAdvertising career \nAfter a year with the L.H. Waldron advertising agency, Cone joined Lord and Thomas as a copywriter. Despite health problems stemming from an over-active pancreas, Cone steadily rose up the corporate ladder, eventually impressing the head of the firm, Albert Lasker.\n\nIn 1941, Lasker wished to retire and liquidate Lord and Thomas, but he passed of the bulk of the agency's clients to three of his rising stars; Emerson Foote, Don Belding, and Cone. On December 29, 1942, the three opened a new agency, Foote, Cone and Belding.\n\nFollowing the retirements of Foote and Belding (whose positions were subsequently filled by others), Cone became the last of the three founders on the board of directors, a position he retained until 1975. In 1946, he became the director of the American Association of Advertising Agencies. He is sometimes called the \"father of modern advertising\" and is a member of the American National Business Hall of Fame. He died in Monterey, California.\n\nQuotations \n Advertising is what you do when you can't go see somebody. That's all it is.\n There is no such thing as a Mass Mind. The Mass Audience is made up of individuals, and good advertising is written always from one person to another. When it is aimed at millions it rarely moves anyone.\n The inventory goes down the elevator every night.\n\nReferences \n Time; Up the Elevator; Friday, December 9, 1966; \"'Show me this young genius!' demanded fearsome George Washington Hill, onetime president of the American Tobacco Co., of Adman Albert Lasker back in 1941.

When he retired a year later, Lasker was apparently still amazed by his upstart protége's Lucky stroke: in any event, Lasker sold his agency to Cone and two other staffers at a gift price of $167,500.

"Heath Braxton is a fictional character from the Australian Channel Seven soap opera Home and Away, played by Dan Ewing. He made his first screen appearance during the episode broadcast on 16 February 2011. Ewing confirmed his departure in December 2013 and Heath made his on-screen exit on 29 July 2014, but made a brief appearance on 23 September 2014 for his brother Casey Braxton's (Lincoln Younes) funeral. Heath and his wife Bianca Scott (Lisa Gormley) made a return in 2016 and departed on 3 February 2017. Ewing reprised the role for one episode on 3 February 2021.\n\nCreation and casting\nIn late 2010, Network Seven began running teaser trailers for a new trio of characters known as \"The River Boys\". Said to be a \"bad-boy surf gang with dodgy reputations\", The River Boys consist of three brothers – Heath, Darryl Braxton (Steve Peacocke) and Casey (Lincoln Younes). Koby Abberton's Bra Boys were the inspiration for The River Boys. Heath made his on screen debut in February 2011.\n\nHeath was the first of The River Boys to be announced, with Ewing's casting revealed on 24 September 2010. Heath is Ewing's second role with Home and Away, having appeared as Reuben Humphries in 2007. For his role, Ewing had to get fit and he joked \"I don't think they would cast overweight guys to play surfers, so yeah, I'm sure it was a factor for the producers.\" He added that he cannot surf well and was relieved that the producers did not test his surfing skills at his audition. Initially, Ewing was employed as a member of the guest cast. He told Daniel Kilkelly of Digital Spy that Heath was originally planned to be a part of the series for six months, but revealed that he had since joined the regular cast.\n\nDevelopment\n\nCharacterisation\n\nHeath is the second oldest of the Braxton brothers and was initially described as being \"feared by cops and the residents of his home town of Mangrove River\" and having a short fuse. The character of Heath is described as \"Mad, bad and dangerous to know.\" Out of The River Boys, Heath is the most volatile and he is feared by everyone from the police to the Mangrove River residents. Darryl is the only person Heath listens to and he follows his guidance. Channel Seven say Heath \"loves the camaraderie and sense of family, not to mention the respect that comes with being a member. It's a privilege to be a River Boy and the worst thing anyone could do ever do is be one and then betray the group.\" Heath does not back down over anything and he feels that the River Boys are always being blamed for things they have not done. Heath was ten when his father left and his mother loves him \"extravagantly, but has a volatile relationship with him.\" Heath has always found his younger brother, Casey (Lincoln Younes), weird for his love of reading.\n\nEwing said that Heath is \"there to stir things up – a human hand grenade as they say. I’m there for trouble-making purposes.\" Ewing told Digital Spy that Heath does have a soft side and he promised that viewers will see Heath start to change and more vulnerable aspects to his personality will come out. Of this change, he said \"I think even the toughest guys in the Bay have a soft side. It's actually very interesting to watch it unfold and I love finding out why these guys have become who they are.\" Ewing added that he shares some similarities to his character, they both like to party and stay in shape. Younes told Holy Soap that in comparison to his character Casey - Heath \"shows hints of sensitivity or insecurity at a slower pace, and these are usually revealed around crises.\"\n\nDeparture\nOn 9 December 2013, Ewing confirmed that he would be leaving Home and Away. Rumours about Ewing's exit began when it was announced that he had signed up with a US talent management company. Of his decision to leave, Ewing said \"I will say I do go, but I am not sure about the exact date yet. It will be fun – and scary.\" In February 2014, Ewing told Jenny Brown from New Idea that he would be filming until early March. He said that while he loved working on the show, he felt that it was easy to \"get in the groove and suddenly 10 years have passed...\" Ewing also believed that he had accomplished all he wanted to with Home and Away. He added that it felt right to leave just as his contract came up and he had signed with the US management company. Heath departed in July 2014.\n\nReturns\nEwing later reprised the role for the feature length spin-off called Home and Away: An Eye for an Eye broadcast in late 2015. He told Shannon Molloy of news.com.au that he was open to a return to Home and Away if the storyline was right for him. He said, \"I wouldn't want to play the same old Heath for another three years though – I'd want it to be fresh and him to have evolved.\" In June 2016, it was announced that Ewing had agreed to reprise the role, alongside Gormley as Bianca, for a short guest stint to be broadcast later in the year. Ewing called the couple's return storyline \"a great, fun opportunity\".\n\nIn early August 2020, Erin Doyle of New Idea reported that Ewing could be returning to Home and Away, after he was pictured alongside actors Ethan Browne and Rob Kipa-Williams, who play Tane Parata and Ari Parata, at an outdoor filming location. Ewing's return was later confirmed as he was pictured filming scenes alongside Browne, Kipa-Williams and Patrick O'Connor (Dean Thompson) in Riverstone while dressed in Heath's clothing. His scenes will air in early 2021. In January 2021, Ewing said Heath would not be back for long, but \"he's certainly there for a good time.\" He called his return \"a great opportunity\", but he admitted that he had to learn and understand the events that Heath has been involved in off-screen from the other cast members. The show's executive producer Lucy Addario later confirmed that Heath was only back for a cameo appearance. The character's scenes aired on 3 February 2021, as he and the River Boys come to the aid of the Parata family.\n\nStorylines\nHeath arrives in Summer Bay along with his brothers; Darryl and Casey. Heath earns a reputation as a troublemaker and he harasses Colleen Smart (Lyn Collingwood) in the Diner. When Heath notices Dexter Walker (Charles Cottier) filming him and friends, he puts him in the boot of his car and dumps him in the bush. Heath causes a lot of trouble with the police for dealing drugs and loitering on the beach. He makes an enemy out of local policewoman Charlie Buckton (Esther Anderson). Heath develops an interest in Bianca Scott (Lisa Gormley) and they have sex, even though Bianca is dating Liam Murphy (Axle Whitehead). Bianca tells Heath that it was a mistake. Heath learns that he has a daughter, Darcy (Alea O'Shea), and starts to bond with her. When Bianca is raped at a party, Heath becomes the prime suspect. However, he is later cleared. Heath stops a man from harassing Bianca and her friends, and she starts to respect him. Bianca and Heath have sex again. On the way home from a trip, Charlie and Brax crash into Liam. Bianca realises that she still loves Liam and ends her relationship with Heath. Heath begins dating Bianca's younger sister, April (Rhiannon Fish). Bianca gets angry at Heath and warns him to stay away from April. Heath cheats on April with Henrietta Brown (Emma Leonard) and she breaks up with him.\n\nBianca marries Liam and finds out that she is pregnant. She initially tells Heath that the baby cannot be his, but later discovers her pregnancy is too far along for the baby to be Liam's. April tells Heath that he is the father and he is furious with Bianca and Liam for not telling him. When he learns that the couple are planning to leave the Bay, Heath hires Hayley O'Connor (Alyssa McClelland) to help him get joint custody. Liam and Bianca split up and Heath drops the court case. Heath goes to visit his father, Danny (Andy McPhee), in prison and decides to help get him released. Bianca develops pre-eclampsia and tells Heath that if anything happens, he must tell the doctors to save the baby. Bianca gives birth prematurely to a boy. She develops postnatal psychosis and thinks her baby is dead. Heath supports Bianca and visits their son. Bianca eventually recovers and she and Heath name their son Rocco. Heath and Bianca start dating again. Heath becomes angry with Casey when he shoots their father dead and refuses to talk to him for a while. Bianca comes to stay with Heath and briefly clashes with his mother. Rocco dies from Sudden Infant Death Syndrome, devastating Heath. Bianca pulls away from him and he later breaks down in front of Brax. Bianca asks Heath to restrict the funeral to family only and they say goodbye to their son. Heath later places a wreath in the ocean and joins the River Boys for an all night memorial at the beach.\n\nHeath proposes to Bianca and she accepts. During a trip to Melbourne for his stag party, Heath has a one-night stand with Jess Lockwood (Georgia Chara). During his wedding, Heath confesses to Bianca and she punches him. Heath decides to leave the Bay, but Bianca stops him. Heath and Bianca get married. When Jade Montgomery (Tasma Walton) comes to the Bay after Mangrove River High is burnt down, she tries to frame Heath with an assault claim, but is thwarted by Tamara Kingsley (Kelly Paterniti). While Heath is visiting Brax's girlfriend, Ricky Sharpe (Bonnie Sveen), in the hospital, a bomb explodes. Heath is okay, but Bianca suffers a serious head injury, which causes some memory loss. A heavily pregnant Jess comes to the Bay to tell Heath that he is going to be a father. Heath helps deliver his son, Harley, on the beach and he spends time with Jess and Harley in Melbourne, causing a strain on his marriage. Heath soon learns that Jess has terminal cancer and when she dies, he brings Harley to live with him and Bianca. Bianca struggles to cope with Harley's presence and she and Heath break up. They eventually get back together, but Bianca soon learns that her transfer request to the city has been accepted. Heath encourages her to go, saying he will join her soon. Darcy's grandmother, Connie (Celia Ireland), initially refuses to let Darcy live with Heath and Bianca in the city, but later relents. After one final surf with his brothers, Heath says goodbye to his family. Bianca returns to collect Heath, Darcy and Harley and take them to their new place in the city. Heath attends Casey's funeral weeks later. Brax refuses to let him seek revenge on Jake Pirovic (Fletcher Humphrys) and Heath replies that he does not want to bury Brax the following week.\n\nTwo years later, Heath follows Bianca to the Bay despite her asking him to give her some space. Bianca asks him to leave, but he stays in the Bay. Bianca invites him over to talk and it emerges that Heath killed Trevor Gunson (Diarmid Heidenreich).\n\nReception\nFor his portrayal of Heath, Ewing received a nomination for Most Popular New Male Talent at the 2012 Logie Awards. At the 2012 Inside Soap Awards, Ewing was nominated for Best Daytime Star. At the 2014 Logie Awards, Ewing earned a nomination for Most Popular Actor. In March 2011, Inside Soap ran a poll vote to determine who was the most liked of the Braxton brothers. Heath and Casey both received twenty-eight percent of the vote indicating that Brax was their favourite. Bree Hoskin of Gaydar Radio said that Heath is the \"volatile middle Braxton boy\".\n\nSince their inception, the Braxton brothers have been well received. Claire Crick of All About Soap said the publications staff were happy with their arrival. Crick added that they liked \"a new bad boy\", but three being introcued at once and all being attractive was much better. British broadcaster Channel 5 aired a series titled \"Top 20 Aussie Soap Moments of 2011\". This was to determine viewers favourite moments from both Home and Away and Neighbours. The arrival of the Braxtons was voted viewers fourth favourite moment on 2011. The arrival of the River Boys was featured in the Inside Soap Yearbook 2012, as part of their \"best bits\" of March 2011. Their reporter noted that viewers were \"aquiver\" at the prospect of three attractive males arriving; despite the residents of Summer Bay not sharing their enthusiasm. With Heath's rise in popularity, came false Facebook accounts in Ewing's name and girls \"lining up\" to meet him. While interviewed by Jason Herbison of Inside Soap, series producer Lucy Addario said that the response from fans, concerning the River Boys had been \"utterly overwhelming\". She added that their inclusion meant the series could \"explore many different storylines and play out lots of great plots.\"\n\nErin Miller of TV Week said that Heath and Bianca shared a \"sizzling\" romance. While Miller's colleague Carolyn Stewart said that she was happy when Heath gets \"the flick\" because in her opinion Bianca was better suited to Liam. Andrew Mercado writing for TV Week said that Home and Away was ignoring its core value of foster children in favour of the \"much older River Boys\". He said that he wanted to see less of them on-screen. While they were a success story and ratings wise, he noted that there were viewer concerns about the accompanying violence. He also predicted that the \"tattooed surfie boys\" will not be around forever because the actors will \"try their luck in Hollywood\". Laura Morgan from All About Soap said that \"Heath's not fussy - he'll go for anything in a short skirt\", due to his romance with April.\n\nReferences\n\nExternal links\n Heath Braxton at the Official AU Home and Away website\n Heath Braxton at the Official UK Home and Away website\n Heath Braxton at the Official NZ Home and Away website\n Heath Braxton on IMDb\n\nHome and Away characters\nTelevision characters introduced in 2011\nFictional personal trainers\nFictional criminals in soap operas\nFictional murderers\nFictional surfers\nMale villains\nFictional gang members\nMale characters in television"

"Stevie Cameron, , (, Stephanie Graham Dahl; born 11 October 1943) is a Canadian investigative journalist and author.\n\nEarly life and work\nStephanie \"Stevie\" Graham Dahl was born in Belleville, Ontario, to Harold Edward Dahl, a mercenary American pilot who fought in the Spanish Republican Air Force during the Spanish Civil War.\n\nShe has an honours B.A. in English from the University of British Columbia, and attended graduate school at University College London, England, for three years.\n\nCareer\nShe worked for the Department of External Affairs in Ottawa in the 1960s, and taught English literature at Trent University.\n\nAfter a year at Le Cordon Bleu Cooking School in Paris in 1975, she began working as a food writer and in 1977, became the food editor of the Toronto Star. A year later, she moved to the Ottawa Journal as Lifestyles editor. She later became the Ottawa Citizen's Lifestyles and Travel editor. Four years later, she joined a new investigative journalism unit at the Citizen and also became a national political columnist.\n\nPersonal life\nCameron lives in Toronto with her husband, David Cameron, a professor at the University of Toronto. They have two daughters, who are both screenwriters.\n\nMajor works\nIn 1986, Cameron moved to Toronto as a national columnist and reporter for The Globe and Mail, and published her first book, in 1989, called Ottawa Inside Out. In 1990 she became a host of the CBC Television public affairs program The Fifth Estate but returned to the Globe in 1991 as a freelance columnist and feature writer.\n\nCameron, Brian Mulroney, and the Airbus Affair\nHer second book, On the Take: Crime, Corruption and Greed in the Mulroney Years, was published in 1994. The book raised questions about the ethics of former Progressive Conservative Prime Minister Brian Mulroney and his alleged involvement in secret commissions paid by Karlheinz Schreiber to members of the Government of Canada, and to Conservative-linked lobbyists, in exchange for then-crown corporation Air Canada's purchase of 34 Airbus jets. It was one of the first full-length works to dig into the Airbus Affair in Canada. The book also documented several other corruption scandals during the period. In 1995, Cameron joined Maclean's magazine as a contributor for investigative stories.\n\nCameron became the focus of a campaign by Brian Mulroney's defenders to discredit the allegations against him. In 2004, The Globe and Mail turned the tables on its former investigative reporter by running a series of three articles by lawyer William Kaplan, claiming that Cameron had worked as a confidential informant for the Royal Canadian Mounted Police during its investigation of the Airbus Affair. Cameron vigorously denied the allegations, which, if true, would have compromised her credibility as a journalist. In his 2004 book A Secret Trial: Brian Mulroney, Stevie Cameron and the Public Trust, Kaplan outlined evidence that illustrated the RCMP's perception of Cameron as a confidential RCMP informant. But in the spring of 2005 (in testimony in the Eurocopter trial, held in Toronto before Judge Edward Then), Chief Superintendent Al Matthews, the RCMP officer in charge of the Airbus investigation, recanted almost all of the allegations against Cameron contained in a search warrant that had been relied upon by Kaplan. Matthews admitted that Cameron had very few contacts with the RCMP, contradicting assertions he'd made in court that she had possessed several hundred. He also admitted that Cameron was telling the truth when she said any information she had shared with the RCMP was already in the public domain, and that the information she shared was of little help to their investigation.\n\nOn 14 February 2007, Cameron appeared before the House of Commons of Canada Ethics Committee in their examination of the Mulroney Airbus Settlement. She confirmed that everything she knows on the subject had been documented in her books. Cameron also made a personal statement that she was not a police informant; any information she had given to the RCMP was already in the public domain at the time.\n\nCameron was subpoenaed by the Oliphant Commission as a potential witness for the public inquiry called by Prime Minister Stephen Harper in early 2008, under terms defined by David Lloyd Johnston. Ultimately, Cameron was not called as a witness when the inquiry, chaired by Justice Jeffrey Oliphant (former Associate Chief Justice of the Supreme Court of Manitoba) got going in Ottawa. Ultimately, it was conclusively demonstrated by the Oliphant Inquiry that Mulroney had received at least $225,000 from Schreiber, in three equal instalments, in cash, paid in thousand-dollar bills, shortly after leaving office in mid-1993. Two of these cash-transfer meetings took place in Montreal, while the third occurred at the luxury Pierre Hotel in New York City. Mulroney had earlier denied any business dealings whatsoever with Schreiber, and had denied receiving any money from him, as a response to questions during his lawsuit testimony given in 1996 in Montreal. Mulroney had delayed paying income tax on this money until several years after he received it.\n\nBlue Trust, 1998\nIn 1998, she published her third book, Blue Trust,. The book profiled the bizarre life and death of Bruce Verchere, a Montreal tax lawyer and partner in the national law firm Bennett Jones LLP, who had served as private financial advisor to Mulroney, before committing suicide in late summer 1993. Verchere had left his wife, a very successful entrepreneur, for an affair with the much younger Diane Hailey, daughter of novelist Arthur Hailey, a Verchere client. Just before his suicide, Verchere had been appointed as chairman of Atomic Energy of Canada Limited.\n\nThe following year, she founded Elm Street, a national general-interest magazine, but continued to write investigative features for Maclean's. Three years later, she resigned from Elm Street, continuing as a columnist, in order to research and write The Last Amigo, with co-author Harvey Cashore; this 2001 book is a biography of Schreiber, along with a more detailed examination of the Airbus Affair. It won a Crime Writers of Canada award as the Best True Crime Book of the Year.\n\nBooks on Robert Pickton\nShe began researching the Robert Pickton murder case in British Columbia in 2002, and published her first book on the case, The Pickton File, in 2007. Cameron has completed her second book about the Pickton case, On the Farm: Robert William Pickton and the Tragic Story of Vancouver’s Missing Women, which was published by Knopf in the summer of 2010 when a publication ban on the case was lifted after an appeal to Supreme Court of Canada upheld the trial jury's guilty verdict. As well as documenting the botched police investigation that finally led to Pickton's arrest, the book contains important insights into why Pickton offered help to some of the woman he picked up as prostitutes, while brutally murdering others, and how he decided who he would kill. On the Farm was nominated for the 2011 Charles Taylor Prize and won the 2011 Arthur Ellis Award for best non-fiction crime book.\n\nOther work\nCameron has also been a contributing editor to Maclean's magazine, a monthly columnist and a contributor to the Toronto Star, The Ottawa Citizen, the Southam News Service, Saturday Night magazine, the Financial Post, Chatelaine, and Canadian Living.\n\nCameron has lectured on journalism schools across the country, and in 2008, she spent the fall term as Irving Chair in Media at St. Thomas University's journalism school in Fredericton.\n\nIn 2012, she was writing a history of Kingston Penitentiary.\n\nHumanitarian work\nCameron serves on the board of Second Harvest in Toronto as well as on the board of Portland Place, an assisted housing project for homeless and underhoused people. In 1991 she helped found an Out of the Cold program for the homeless at her church, St. Andrew's, in downtown Toronto, and has worked with many churches across Canada to set up similar programs. In 2004, she received an honorary Doctor of Divinity from the Vancouver School of Theology, in part for her work with the homeless.\n\nIn recognition of more than two-decades of humanitarian work and social activism, Cameron was awarded the Order of Canada in December 2012.

"Sydney Anne Bristow (played by Jennifer Garner) is a fictional character and the protagonist of the television series Alias. She is an American woman with a Russian-Canadian family background who works as a spy for the CIA.\n\nSydney is depicted in the series as being strong both physically and emotionally. She deals with some significant trauma over the years: the death of her fiancé, the death of her best friend, the realization that her mother was a former KGB spy, the estrangement of many of her friends and the constant activity and changes that she must endure from being a spy on a regular basis. Sydney is highly skilled in Krav Maga and is a hyper polyglot, speaking English, Russian, German, Greek, Dutch, French, Italian, Spanish, Portuguese, Norwegian, Swedish, Romanian, Hungarian, Hebrew, Uzbek, Arabic, Persian, Urdu, Indonesian, Cantonese, Mandarin, Japanese, Korean, Hindi, Vietnamese, Polish, Serbian, Czech, Ukrainian, and Bulgarian in various episodes. Throughout the series her code names are Bluebird, Freelancer, Mountaineer, and Phoenix.\n\nCharacter biography\nSydney Bristow was born April 17, 1975. For the first six years of her life she lived with both of her parents, Jack and Laura Bristow (real name Irina Derevko). However, her father's work with the CIA kept him away from home much of the time. Sydney and her family were living in rural Maryland until Jack was transferred to Los Angeles when Sydney was two. In 1981 her mother, who was also an undercover agent for the KGB, faked her own death to prevent being apprehended by the FBI. Afterwards Jack was taken into custody for some time, because it was believed that he also was part of a larger conspiracy.\n\nJack named Arvin Sloane as Sydney's temporary guardian and Sydney went to live with Sloane and his wife Emily, for a time (Note that this is a retcon as it was previously established that Sydney did not meet Arvin or Emily until Sydney had already started working for SD-6. Sydney herself had stated that she had large memory gaps from around the time of her mother's death and can only remember that her father began drinking heavily and became more of an absentee father, leaving Sydney to be raised by nannies. Later it is revealed that the memory gaps are due to Jack, who after finally having been cleared, tested Project Christmas on Sydney, so that she would never be recruited by the KGB, and like all the candidates tested, the training ended with Sydney's memory erased.)\n\nWhen Sydney was 19 years old and a freshman in college, a man approached her and told her that he worked with US intelligence and that they wanted to interview her because she fit a profile. She declined at first but then decided to join them. After meeting with an organization she believed was the Central Intelligence Agency, she signed \"dozens of non-disclosure agreements\" and was offered a job.\n\nThey had Sydney take a job as an office assistant on the twentieth floor of Credit Dauphine, a corporate bank in downtown Los Angeles. She assumed that the bank was somehow affiliated with the CIA. When she told her father about her job after about a month, he ordered her to quit because as a double agent within SD-6, he knew the bank was a front. Sydney angrily refused to quit and this led to the beginning of a several-year estrangement in their relationship.\n\nEventually she was told that she was ready for the transition, which involved eight months of training. It was during the training that Sydney first heard the term SD-6. At this time, she believed that SD-6 was affiliated with the CIA, that it was a black ops division of the CIA, funded by the CIA's black budget. They led her to believe that SD-6 was one of these divisions and that that was why they did not operate through Langley, Virginia.\n\nThe transition ended when they made reference to SD-6 headquarters. They told her they would take her there. What she did not realize was that the headquarters was in the same building. Her role within SD-6 was desk work, at first, but she advanced quickly. Within the first year, she was assigned to reconnaissance missions.\n\nSydney was told that the objective of SD-6 was \"the retrieval and study of intelligence, both military and industrial, throughout the world that is critical to the superiority and survival of the United States of America.\"\n\nSeven years after joining SD-6, Sydney discovered that SD-6 was actually a branch of the Alliance of Twelve, an international organized crime group involved in the trade of intelligence and weapons, and was an enemy of the United States.\n\nStorylines\n\nSeason 1\nSydney was engaged to be married to her boyfriend Danny Hecht, but he was killed by SD-6 after Sydney told him that she worked for the CIA. Shortly thereafter, she was informed of what SD-6 was by her mostly estranged father, who worked in the highest levels of SD-6.\n\nSydney went to the real CIA with her knowledge of SD-6, and was recruited by the CIA into working as a double agent to bring down SD-6. Her handler, Agent Michael Vaughn, and who is her ongoing love interest on the show, gives her missions from the CIA. She soon learns that her own father is a double agent as well. During her time at SD-6, Sydney performed missions with Marcus Dixon, who sometimes became suspicious that Sydney was a double agent. Dixon was still under the impression that SD-6 was part of the U.S. Government. Sydney had to balance all these new revelations with keeping all these secrets from her friends, notably Will Tippin and Francie Calfo.\n\nDuring this season, the head of SD-6, Arvin Sloane, was obsessed with Milo Rambaldi, a man from the 15th century who was able to create brilliant devices that were far ahead of their time. Sydney worked on a number of missions to retrieve or modify these Rambaldi devices to prevent them from falling into the hands of SD-6. During the season finale, on one such mission to destroy such a device, Sydney is captured and discovers that the organization that SD-6 has been pursuing is being run by Irina Derevko, Sydney's mother and a former KGB spy.\n\nSeason 2\nDuring season 2, Sydney continues to act as a double agent inside SD-6 and also performs direct missions for the CIA. Irina Derevko turns herself in to the CIA and provides valuable information to help bring down SD-6. Midway through the season, the CIA finally has enough information to bring down the entire Alliance organization and the assault on SD-6 headquarters, led by Sydney and Vaughn. The organization comes tumbling down, but Sloane gets away and is now working covertly with Julian Sark.\n\nFollowing the fall of SD-6, Sydney decides she wants to leave the CIA but finds herself unable to do so knowing that Sloane is still free. Sydney also has to work to make amends with Dixon, who is bitter that Sydney knew SD-6 was not part of the U.S. Government and didn't tell him, although they are eventually able to patch things up and Dixon begins to work with the CIA.\n\nDuring this time, Sydney's friend and roommate Francie has secretly been replaced by an agent of Sloane and Sark's, Allison Doren. Sydney eventually figures out that \"Francie\" is not who she says she is and the two engage in a battle which destroys the entire apartment. Sydney shoots Allison three times, apparently killing her, but Sydney is also severely wounded and passes out.\n\nWhen Sydney wakes up, she is in Hong Kong and comes to find out that two years have passed without her knowledge.\n\nSeason 2 saw a fundamental change in Sydney's character, allegedly introduced in order to give the show more action. In the first season, Sydney almost never kills, preferring fisticuffs and tranquilizer guns to deadly blows and real bullets. Starting this season, she behaves more like a stereotypical spy, usually killing enemies and rarely using tranq guns. Although there were some minor incidents prior, the episode \"Phase One\" is generally considered to mark the arrival of this new version of Sydney. While some fans have criticized this change in Sydney's character, others have suggested that it might have been influenced by the arrival of her mother. During season 2 Sydney also begins to dress and act more sexually to achieve her goals.\n\nSeason 3\nSydney now has to deal with the pain of not knowing what has happened for the previous two years of her life, but also the fact that Vaughn is now married to another woman, National Security Council liaison Lauren Reed. Sydney tries to manipulate the CIA to stay in the loop of the organization (they don't trust her because of her absence).\n\nSydney learns that an organization known as The Covenant seems to be involved with her disappearance. In the meantime, Sydney continues to perform missions for the CIA, while working with her father to find out more about her past.\n\nEventually Sydney learns through FBI Assistant Director Kendall (who is actually the director of the Department of Special Research) that she worked in the employ of the Covenant as a supposedly brainwashed assassin, although she was able to resist their attempts to manipulate her due to her experiences with Project Christmas and report to the CIA during this time. Eventually, she wiped her own memories to conceal information and perhaps also because of the horrifying realization that the Covenant had extracted her eggs in order to fulfill one of Rambaldi's prophecies. She was also greatly disturbed that she chose to kill an unarmed man in cold blood rather than risk losing her cover as a brainwashed assassin.\n\nSydney and Vaughn continue to suppress their feelings for each other in light of Vaughn's relationship with Lauren. However, it is discovered that Lauren is actually an agent working for the Covenant, although both Sydney and Vaughn are, at first, unaware of this fact.\n\nThe CIA learns that there is a mole in the Los Angeles office. Jack is assigned to find the mole and soon starts to suspect Lauren. Jack confronts Lauren's father, Senator Reed, but he dismisses it.\n\nMeanwhile Vaughn decides to separate from Lauren. Lauren tells Sark and Sark explains that the last time Vaughn strayed from a relationship because of Sydney he quickly reconnected when his then-girlfriend Alice Williams' father died. Sark orders Lauren to kill her father. Lauren cannot go through with it but her mother bursts in and finishes the job. They frame Senator Reed for being the mole. Vaughn quickly recommits to Lauren, breaking Sydney's heart.\n\nOn a mission to meet a Covenant asset, Sydney sees Lauren. When she tells Vaughn he dismisses it. Sydney talks to Jack and then Jack talks to Vaughn telling him the signs that his wife is betraying him. When Vaughn becomes suspicious he looks in Lauren's suitcase and discovers evidence that she does work for the Covenant.\n\nVaughn tells Jack and Sydney and he is ordered by Dixon to pretend that he is unaware of Lauren's betrayal. Lauren soon finds out that she has been played by Vaughn and she and Sark kidnap him. After torturing him and failing to get any information they leave him for dead. Weiss finds Vaughn and he is taken to the hospital.\n\nSydney soon discovers that the Passenger is Nadia Santos, her half-sister by the way of an affair between Irina and Sloane. After a rescue mission, Sydney's sister is taken by Sloane so he can get the formula that was stored in her brain by Rambaldi (actually her unique nervous system can replay the graphical hand movements encoded in the Rambaldi Fluid-protein strands that cause unconscious, movements like handwriting). Sydney rescues her again, but Nadia later elects to accompany Sloane in search of the Rambaldi artifact known as The Sphere of Life.\n\nLauren enters the CIA office disguised as Sydney and steals information. Sark is captured and interviewed by Vaughn. Sark gives up Lauren and Vaughn resolves to kill her. Vaughn tracks her down and brings her to an empty warehouse. As Lauren dangles from the ceiling, Vaughn states that he loves Sydney more than he hates Lauren thus he will not kill Lauren. He does, however, plan to douse her in hydrochloric acid, rendering her unrecognizable. Sydney's aunt, the ambiguous Katya Derevko, stabs him in the back. When Sydney learns about Vaughn, she goes after Lauren herself. Vaughn goes after her and arrives just in time to save Sydney from Lauren. As Vaughn and Sydney kiss, Lauren tries to make one last shot. Vaughn sees this and shoots her dead. Before Lauren dies she tells Sydney that there is a safe deposit box in Wittenburg that has information about her.\n\nSydney goes to the box and finds secret CIA documents about her. Jack gets there and tells her that she was never supposed to find them.\n\nSeason 4\nSeveral months after her discovery, Sydney is once again estranged from her father, having discovered (through the secret documents) that he had killed Irina Derevko. Following a botched mission in Shanghai, she receives a dressing down at a performance review, is demoted, and is subsequently dismissed from the CIA.\n\nIn truth, Sydney has been recruited into APO (Authorized Personnel Only), a new black ops division of the CIA patterned after SD-6. Much to her dismay, this new agency is headed by Sloane, who oversees a handpicked team which includes Sydney, Jack Bristow, Vaughn, and Dixon. During APO's first mission, Marshall is also recruited, as is her half-sister, Nadia. Her former colleague, Eric Weiss, thinks that Sydney is working for a bank - the same cover she had used when working for SD-6.\n\nDuring the course of APO's first mission, to bring down a terrorist and assassin-for-hire, she learns the man was actually hired to kill her - by Irina. Jack subsequently killed Irina to protect his daughter. Meanwhile, Sydney rekindles her romance with Vaughn. Later, it is revealed that Irina is not actually dead - Jack killed a genetic double in an elaborate deception orchestrated by Irina's evil sister, Elena, who recruits Sloane in activating a huge Mueller device invented by Rambaldi, which has the potential to destroy the world. Irina is rescued from Elena's clutches and reunited with her family - including Nadia, who she hasn't seen for years - and together they fly to Russia to stop Elena's plans.\n\nAround this time, after some twists and turns and ups and downs in their relationship, Vaughn finally proposes marriage prior to the mission to go after Elena. Sydney doesn't answer just yet. Finally, when she is about to destroy the Mueller device, Sydney goes back to Vaughn and gives him an affirmative reply.\n\nDuring the mission in Russia, it is revealed that Sloane was able to infiltrate the drinking water of the city through his charity, and all who had drunk this water and were exposed to the Mueller device were genetically altered and became excessively violent. When Nadia is captured by Elena, she is injected with the infected water and consequently attempts to kill Sydney.\n\nThe season ends on a cliffhanger when Vaughn reveals to Sydney that his real name is not Michael Vaughn, and depending on who is asked, he might be a \"bad guy\". At that moment, their car is T-boned by an unknown assailant.\n\nSeason 5\nSydney and Vaughn survive the car crash, but Vaughn is taken by their assailants. He manages to escape and tells Sydney that his real name is André Michaux. He also tells her that he's been working for several years to uncover the activities of a mysterious organization known as Prophet Five. His father before him had also worked to gather intel on Prophet Five. Shortly thereafter, Sydney learns she is pregnant and Vaughn is shot and apparently killed by a rogue agent posing as a CIA officer. Four months later, Sydney makes contact with Renée Rienne, an assassin on the CIA's most wanted list, who had been working with Vaughn, and whose father had worked with Vaughn's father, to bring down Prophet Five.\n\nSydney finds a kindred spirit in Rachel Gibson, a young, wide-eyed, inexperienced agent rescued from \"The Shed\", a covert criminal organization that, much like SD-6, operates under the alias of a CIA black-ops division. Gibson, like Sydney years earlier, had been duped into believing she was working for the CIA. Now a member of APO, Gibson is learning the ways of being a field agent, with Sydney her designated handler, just as Michael had worked with her. With Nadia still comatose in the hospital, Gibson has moved into Sydney's home.\n\nSydney has also put at least some demons of the past behind her. Now fully reconciled with her father, she has also expressed some forgiveness of Sloane, to the point of writing a letter of recommendation for Sloane's release hearing.\n\nSydney continues to go on missions when her condition allows, often using the pregnancy as part of her disguises. However, in the episode \"Solo\", she came to realize that these days might be fast coming to a (temporary) end when she is not allowed to go on a mission due to her condition.\n\nThree weeks before her due date, Sydney is captured by Prophet Five in order to force her (via a form of drug-induced hypnosis) to remember details of a giant SD-6 flowchart that she had been shown by Michael Vaughn during one of their first meetings. Encouraged by her mental recreation of Michael Vaughn, she is able to resist the hypnosis and provide false information to her kidnappers (who, unbeknownst to Sydney, include Irina). Sydney discovers that she has been stranded aboard a freighter at sea where she attempts to elude Prophet Five and one of their associates, Kelly Peyton. During this incident, she discovers that her family doctor is actually a Prophet Five agent, and suffers a complication with her pregnancy that (to her later surprise) is corrected by Prophet Five and the baby is saved.\n\nAfter being extracted by APO, Sydney is reunited with her mother and together with her and Jack they travel to Vancouver in order to obtain a mysterious object called \"The Horizon\" which Prophet Five believed Sydney possessed. During this mission, which is complicated by the discovery that Irina works for Prophet Five and a subsequent attack by Peyton, Sydney goes into labor and — with the aid of Irina and Jack — gives birth to a baby girl, named Isabelle. Irina subsequently disappears with The Horizon.\n\nAfter the birth of Isabelle, it is revealed that Vaughn didn't die. After his shooting, Jack helped him fake his death and hide in Bhutan.\n\nAbout a month after giving birth, Sydney returns to duty when Anna Espinosa is recruited by Peyton to kidnap Will Tippin. Espinosa implants an explosive in Tippin's head and demands that page 47 of Rambaldi's manuscript be turned over to her in return for the disarming code. Sydney and Will battle Anna but lose page 47, and in the process Anna uses an unknown chemical agent to collect genetic material from Sydney. Anna goes through the genetic doubling process and becomes Sydney's duplicate.\n\nAfter Anna kills Renée Rienne while she is on a mission with APO, a chip bearing Michael Vaughn's real name (André Michaux) is discovered implanted in her body. The chip bears what appears to be a corrupted code. Sydney heads to Nepal to meet with Vaughn but is intercepted by an agent of Prophet Five while Anna keeps Sydney's rendezvous with Vaughn. Anna and Vaughn discover that Vaughn has the other half of the code on a chip implanted in his body and after deciphering the code he and Anna head to Germany. They discover a bunker containing all of Vaughn's father's research on Prophet Five. Vaughn reveals that he knows Anna is not Sydney and they fight. Anna gains the upper hand until Sydney shoots her in the head, killing her. Sydney goes undercover as Anna to infiltrate Prophet Five and meets up with Peyton.\n\nSydney, still undercover as Anna, meets Sloane and learns that she is to seek a rose from an ancient Italian monastery. She meets up with Julian Sark in Italy and he gets them arrested to infiltrate the prison that stands where the monastery once did. Sydney discovers an elderly man who identifies himself as The Rose. The Rose gives Sydney an amulet and tells her she can't stop Prophet Five from carrying out its plans. While Peyton extracts Sark from the prison, Sloane attempts to kill Sydney, still believing she is Anna. Sydney survives the attempt but Sloane escapes with the amulet. Sydney and Vaughn return to Los Angeles, where Vaughn meets his daughter for the first time. Their happiness is short-lived, however, as Sydney gets a call from Sloane, who has figured out that she is still alive.\n\nSydney finally travels to Sydney, Australia as part of an APO mission to get intel on the twelve leaders of Prophet Five. She successfully captures intel on three of the twelve and returns to Los Angeles.\n\nShortly thereafter, Marshall and Rachel are abducted by Peyton and Sark respectively and Sydney encounters Sloane, who convinces her to get Marshall to help him locate a certain cavern. Marshall is able to pass a message to Sydney, who, working with Marshall's wife Carrie, is able to locate Marshall and Rachel and mount a rescue. Marshall and Rachel advise the team that Sloane is seeking a cave in Italy and Sydney deduces that Sloane is headed for Mount Subasio. She and Vaughn travel there and Sydney descends into the cave. There she encounters Sloane again, with the amulet she recovered earlier. Sloane fires several rounds into the floor of the cave at Sydney's feet, causing the floor to give way. Vaughn rescues Sydney and performs CPR on her.\n\nThe team next tracks Sloane to Mongolia and the tomb of Milo Rambaldi. There Sydney encounters Sloane yet again as he implements his endgame by placing the Horizon on an altar, thus creating a red, hovering ball-shaped fluid similar to that created by the Mueller device. Sydney disrupts Sloane's plans by grabbing the Horizon from the altar, causing the ball to collapse in a torrent of red liquid. Sark leads Jack and Vaughn into the tomb after capturing them, and Sloane shoots Jack in the chest to force Sydney and Vaughn to leave. Seeing her father severely wounded, Sydney grabs a gun and eventually shoots Sloane several times, who crashes into the puddle of Rambaldi-fluid. With Sloane seemingly dead, Sydney tries to stay with her bleeding father, but he begs her to leave him and to stop Irina. Sydney reluctantly obeys and departs for Hong Kong for a final confrontation with Irina. Jack drags himself back into the tomb and confronts Sloane, who has become immortal because of the fluid. Sloane offers to heal Jack, but Jack tells Sloane that he has caused so much pain for Sydney over the years that he will not allow him to do it again and reveals a bomb that he strapped to his body and detonates it, killing himself. The explosion causes a cave in and Sloane is trapped in there forever.\n\nIn Hong Kong, Sydney and Irina clash a final time, with Sydney seeking to stop Irina from using the Horizon to gain immortality. In the course of the fight, Irina ends up atop a glass skylight, the Horizon just inches away from her. With the glass cracking under Irina's weight, Sydney pleads with her to take her hand. Irina refuses and attempts to grab the Horizon. The glass breaks completely, causing Irina to fall to her death.\n\nThe series ends a few years into the future. Sydney and Vaughn are married and semi-retired and are now living in a beachside house on an obviously very far off island. Dixon comes to visit and is greeted by Vaughn and Sydney, who is holding their second child who is named Jack after Sydney's father. Isabelle has found the blocks for Project Christmas and assembles them in no time, but dismantles it after Sydney calls for her and she joins her family outside. As everyone walks down the beach, the screen cuts to black with the message: THANK YOU FOR FIVE INCREDIBLE YEARS.\n\nCasting\nBefore landing the lead role in Alias, Garner auditioned five times for a guest appearance in J. J. Abrams's Felicity. When Abrams created Alias, he wanted Garner to portray Sydney. \"There was something about her that I just thought was really special. I always thought she had something in her personality that was funnier and sexier and smarter and more mischievous than anything I'd seen her do. And when I wrote Sydney, I wanted to show that,\" he said. Melissa George, who went on to play Lauren Reed on the show, was also considered for the role of Sydney. Garner took private martial arts lessons for one month during the audition process. She did many of the physical stunts herself throughout the series. Her first stunt double was Dana Hee, who was later replaced by Shauna Duggins.\n\nReception\n\nAs of 2004, Sydney was named one of the 10 best current characters by Zap2it. In June 2010, she was ranked No. 42 on Entertainment Weekly'''s \"100 Greatest Characters of the Last 20 Years\". UGO.com ranked her the 20th Top TV Character out of 50. Sydney was listed AOL TV's \"100 Most Memorable Female TV Characters\", ranking at No. 27. and AfterEllen.com's Top 50 Favorite Female TV Characters. Bristow also appeared in Maxim list of the Hottest Nerd Crushes. She was also included in Total Sci-Fi Onlines list of The 25 Women Who Shook Sci-Fi. TV Guide named her one of TV's Toughest Ladies. Her relationship with Michael Vaughn was featured in TV Guide''s list of the best TV couples of all time.\n\nGarner also received critical acclaim for her performance. She won a Golden Globe Award for Best Actress – Television Series Drama out of four consecutive nominations, as well as four Emmy nominations for her lead performance. She was nominated for the Screen Actors Guild Award for Outstanding Performance by a Female Actor in a Drama Series in 2004 and she won the award in 2005.\n\nIn August 2003, the actual CIA enlisted Jennifer Garner to appear in a recruitment video, which would be shown at fairs and college campuses. A CIA officer said: \"Jennifer and the character of Sydney Bristow both reflect a lot of the qualities we look for in new career field officers.\"\n\nReferences\n\nAlias (TV series) characters\nAmerican female characters in television\nFemale soldier and warrior characters in television\nFictional American secret agents\nFictional Central Intelligence Agency personnel\nFictional double agents\nFictional female martial artists\nFictional female secret agents and spies\nFictional feminists and women's rights activists\nFictional Krav Maga practitioners\nFictional polyglots\nFictional secret agents and spies in television\nMartial artist characters in television\nTelevision characters introduced in 2001",

"Covert Affairs is an American action drama television series filmed in Toronto, Canada, starring Piper Perabo and Christopher Gorham that premiered on Tuesday, July 13, 2010. On January 6, 2015, USA Network canceled Covert Affairs after five seasons.\n\nPlot overview \nA young CIA trainee, Annie Walker, is sent to work in the Domestic Protection Division (DPD) as a field agent. August \"Auggie\" Anderson, a blind tech operative, is Annie's guide in her new life. In the beginning, Annie's cover story is that she works in Acquisitions at the Smithsonian Museum but she is later let go. As of the fourth season, her new cover is that of a glamorous and well-connected importer/exporter, with expensive tastes and dealings that may not always be legal. The series traces Annie's evolution from a wide-eyed young operative who fetches coffee for her co-workers to a hardened spy who does not balk at enhanced interrogation. This change in tone is also seen in the opening credits, which used chick lit–style graphics in the early seasons. The cartoons, like the focus on Annie's home life with her sister, were gone in the fourth and fifth seasons.\n\nCast and characters\n\nMain cast \n Piper Perabo as Anne Catherine \"Annie\" Walker: a CIA trainee who is suddenly promoted to field operative. In addition to English, she speaks seven languages fluently and several other languages with various skill levels.\n Christopher Gorham as August \"Auggie\" Anderson: Annie's handler.

She attended Pennsylvania State University, and her cover is that of an executive at the World Bank.\n Anne Dudek as Danielle Brooks (seasons 1–2, main; 3, recurring): Annie's older sister, who is married with two children; Annie lives in her guest house. Initially she is unaware of Annie's real career, knowing only Annie's cover, that she works in Acquisitions at the Smithsonian Institution. Annie is forced to reveal her CIA employment in season 2 when her Chinese defector is poisoned by radiation; she is possibly radioactive and the CIA has to sweep her house. This forces her to tell her sister to go elsewhere for the night which causes a rift between them. Fortunately, the two manage to mend fences before Danielle and her family move to California.\n Sendhil Ramamurthy as Jai Wilcox (seasons 1–3): CIA officer assigned to the DPD by Arthur Campbell. His family has a difficult history with the CIA; his father, Henry Wilcox, was formerly the CIA Director of the National Clandestine Service (D/NCS). He is killed by a car bomb at the beginning of the third season.\n Peter Gallagher as Arthur Campbell (seasons 2–5, main; 1, recurring): D/NCS. During his time as a field operative in the late eighties, he posed as a student in East Berlin to gather intel on the Stasi.\n Hill Harper as Calder Michaels (seasons 4–5): CIA station chief based in Medellin, Colombia who is reassigned to Langley. Calder becomes the new head of the DPD after Joan is made D/NCS.\n Nic Bishop as Ryan McQuaid (season 5): The owner of a private security firm for whom Arthur Campbell works, who finds himself working alongside Annie.\n\nRecurring cast \n Oded Fehr as Eyal Lavin (seasons 1–5): A Mossad operative who occasionally works with Annie on her missions, and has become her confidante.

Revealed as a mole for the FSB after she shoots Annie and sets her up to look like a traitor.\n Emmanuelle Vaugier as Liza Hearn (seasons 1–2): A journalist with a mysterious source inside the CIA, who publishes a series of damaging articles about the Agency.\n Richard Coyle as Simon Fischer (season 3): A venture capitalist and suspected SVR spy, whom Annie is assigned to cultivate while working in Lena's division during season 3. They become both physically and emotionally involved, with serious consequences on both sides. \n Perrey Reeves as Caitlyn Cook (season 5): Ryan McQuaid's assistant.\n Amy Jo Johnson as Hayley Price (season 5): An NCTC official who is investigating the Chicago bombing and soon forms a relationship with Auggie.\n Shailene Garnett as Joan's Assistant (season 5, episodes \"Trigger Cut\" and \"Brink of the Clouds\")\n\nDevelopment, casting, and production \nCovert Affairs first appeared on USA Network's development slate in July 2008. The pilot episode was written by Matt Corman and Chris Ord. Casting was underway in June 2009, with the expectation that successful casting would lead to a production commitment. Piper Perabo was the first actress cast in early July 2009, as CIA officer Annie Walker. The casting of Christopher Gorham came in late July, quickly followed by an announcement that the pilot had been green-lighted by USA Network.\n\nIn early August 2009, Tim Matheson signed on to direct a 90-minute pilot. Further casting announcements included Anne Dudek in mid-August, followed by Kari Matchett and Peter Gallagher in early September. Eric Lively was cast as a fellow CIA officer and peer to Perabo's character, and Eion Bailey was cast in a recurring role as Annie Walker's ex-boyfriend. The pilot began filming in Toronto in September 2009.\n\nIn January 2010, the Covert Affairs pilot received a 10-episodes order. Sendhil Ramamurthy was added to the cast as a CIA officer, replacing Lively's character, along with Emmanuelle Vaugier in a recurring role as a journalist.\n\nThe series executive producers are Doug Liman and David Bartis and the co-executive producer is Jonathan Glassner. Production of the series takes place in Toronto, Ontario, at primary static sets housed in a studio, as well as at \"stock\" shooting locations throughout the local area. This is combined with material filmed at various international locations in which the series' episodes are set, such as Washington, D.C., capturing geographically unique elements of these places. In some instances, the series' producers use a stand-in location for shots where the costs and logistics of the actual location shoot are impractical, or if the location specified is fictional.\n\nEpisodes\n\nReception \nCovert Affairs received positive reviews from critics. The review aggregator website Rotten Tomatoes reports a 93% approval rating, while on Metacritic, the first season of Covert Affairs received a score of 64 out of 100, based on 23 reviews, indicating \"generally favorable reviews\". The second season received a score of 68, based on six reviews. At the 68th Golden Globe Awards, Piper Perabo was nominated for Best Performance by an Actress in a Television Series—Drama. She also won the award for Outstanding Female Actor in a Breakthrough Role at the Gracie Awards in 2011. Christopher Gorham won the Seeing Beyond Vision Loss Special Achievement Award at the CNIB Awards in 2013.\n\nDVD releases\n\nReferences\n\nExternal links \n\n \n \n\n2010s American drama television series\n2010 American television series debuts\n2014 American television series endings\nAmerican action television series\nTelevision series about the Central Intelligence Agency\nEnglish-language television shows\nEspionage television series\nTelevision series by Universal Content Productions\nTelevision shows filmed in Toronto\nTelevision shows set in Washington, D.C.\nUSA Network original programming\nParkour in fiction\nFictional secret agents and spies",

"is a popular character based on the historical Tōyama Kagemoto, a samurai and official of the Tokugawa shogunate during the Edo period of Japanese history. In kabuki and kōdan, he was celebrated under his childhood name, Kinshirō, shortened to Kin-san. He was said to have left home as a young man, and lived among the commoners, even having a tattoo of flowering sakura trees on his shoulder. This story developed into a legend of helping the common people.\n\nThe novelist Tatsurō Jinde (陣出達郎) wrote a series of books about Kin-san. Noted actor Chiezō Kataoka starred in a series of eighteen Toei jidaigeki films about him. Several Japanese television networks have aired series based on the character. These variously portrayed him pretending to be a petty hood or a yojinbō while solving crimes as the chief of police.\n\nPeople famous for having portrayed Kin-san on television include kabuki stars Nakamura Umenosuke IV and Ichikawa Danshirō, singers Yukio Hashi and Teruhiko Saigō, and actors Ryōtarō Sugi, Hideki Takahashi, Hiroki Matsukata, and Kōtarō Satomi.

Due to the Tokugawa rules which required all the daimyō to spend every other year in Edo (now called Tokyo) the chamberlain was a very important man and the de facto ruler of the estate when the daimyō was away. Having attained this office at a rather young age, he is said to have had the implicit trust of his lord.\n\nWhen Asano committed seppuku as punishment for his failed attempt to kill Kira Yoshinaka in Edo castle and the Tokugawa shogunate abolished the house of Asano of Akō, Ōishi was in Akō and managed all its administrative issues. He persuaded other samurai to vacate the castle to the agents of the Shogunate. During the next two years many people wondered what Ōishi would do as he had a reputation as an honourable and capable man.\n\nHe attempted to get the permission to re-establish the house of Asano of Akō but failed. He then began a careful plot to kill Lord Kira, but to throw off suspicion, first spent time (and money) in the geisha houses of Kyoto. This type of ruse is referred to as – appearing to be serving no useful purposes, and this term is frequently applied to Ōishi. He carried out his role well – and secretly coordinated the movements of the remaining loyal Asano samurai. Nearly two years passed before the attack was launched.\n\nIn January 1703 (by the old Japanese calendar, the 12th month, 14th day) he, with 46 other Akō rōnin, attacked Kira at his residence in the Honjo neighborhood of Edo. Kira was killed and decapitated. After Ōishi dispatched Terasaka Kichiemon to inform Asano's widow Yōzeiin of the deed, he and the remaining 45 rōnin went to Sengaku-ji in Shinagawa where Naganori was buried and there they were arrested.\n\nHe and the other rōnin were ordered to commit seppuku. Since it was an honourable sentence rather than merely decapitation, everyone accepted this sentence as an honour.\n\nLegacy\nAfter death, Ōishi became famous as the example of ideal samurai behavior. His ultimate goal of reestablishment of the Akō Asano clan was realized as the Tokugawa shogunate did restore some lands (about 1/10 of the original holdings) to the Asano clan.\n\nIn the famous kabuki play Kanadehon Chūshingura, Yoshio (Kuranosuke) is known as Ōboshi Yuranosuke.\n\nReferences\n\nExternal links\nThe 1941 movie The 47 Ronin features Ōishi Yoshio as the protagonist, see YouTube\n\nSamurai\n1659 births\n1703 deaths\nSuicides by seppuku\nKarō\nPlace of birth unknown\nDate of birth unknown\nDeified Japanese people\nKabuki characters",
"is the nickname of , a Japanese thief and folk hero who lived in Edo (present-day Tokyo) during the Edo period.\n\nHis exploits have been commemorated in kabuki theatre, folk songs, jidaigeki, and modern pop culture.\n\nCapture and tattoo\nIn 1822, he was caught and tattooed, and banished from Edo. On August 8, 1831, he was captured again, and confessed to the burglary of over 100 samurai estates and the impressive theft of over 30,000 ryō throughout his 15-year career. He was tied to a horse and paraded in public before being beheaded at the Suzugamori execution grounds. His head was then publicly displayed on a stake. He was buried at Ekō-in located in the Ryōgoku section of Tokyo. So many pilgrims have chipped away pieces of his tombstone for charms that his headstone has had to have been replaced a number of times since his death.\n\nBackground\nAt the time of the arrest, Jirokichi was found to have very little money. This, combined with the public humiliation he dealt out to the daimyō, resulted in the popular legend that he gave the money to the poor, turning the petty crook into a posthumous folk hero similar to Robin Hood. The fact that he died alone, serving his wives with divorce papers just prior to arrest in order to protect them from sharing in the punishment as the law decreed, further enhanced his stature.\n\nNickname\nJirokichi's nickname Nezumi Kozō roughly means \"Rat Kid\".\n\nThe word nezumi means \"rat\" or \"mouse\" and kozō translates to \"kid, brat\". The term kozō is a somewhat pejorative word for any young male.\n\n.

"is the name of a well-known figure from Japanese folklore. His story is well known in Japan, and the best-known English translation first appeared in the book Kwaidan: Stories and Studies of Strange Things by Lafcadio Hearn.\n\nA version of this story appears in the film Kwaidan, as well as the play The Dream of a Summer Day, which are both based on Hearn's work.\n\nThe source text Hearn used has been identified as the work of , entitled \"\", in the series , vol. 2, (pub. 1782).\n\nLegend summary\nAccording to legend, Hoichi was a blind minstrel (or biwa hōshi) with an amazing gift for the biwa (a loquat-shaped Japanese lute). He was particularly good at performing the Tale of the Heike, an epic describing the fall of Emperor Antoku, who is buried at Amidaji Temple. His performances were so wonderful that \"even the goblins could not refrain from tears\". Despite his talents, Hoichi was very poor and was forced to live at Amidaji Temple with a friendly priest.\n\nAs the story goes, Hoichi was approached late one night by a gruff samurai who demanded that the minstrel play for his lord. The retainer led the blind Hoichi into what appeared to be the home of some powerful daimyō, where a performance of the Tale of the Heike was requested. Hoichi's performance was met by high praise and moved his audience to tears, and he was asked to return the next evening for a follow-up recital. Before the retainer returned him to his temple, Hoichi was told that the nobleman for whom he had been playing was traveling incognito, and was warned not to speak of the evening's events.\n\nThe following evening, the samurai returned to Hoichi's quarters and led him back to the nobleman. However, this time Hoichi's absence was discovered by his friend, the priest of Amidaji Temple. The priest grew suspicious and instructed his servants to look after Hoichi the next night. When they saw him leaving the temple the servants gave chase and eventually found Hoichi playing his biwa furiously in the middle of the Amidaji cemetery. When they dragged him back to the temple, Hoichi explained the previous night's events to the priest.\n\nRealizing that Hoichi had been bewitched by ghosts, the priest vowed to save his friend from further trickery. He painted Hoichi's body with the kanji characters of the Heart Sutra for protection and instructed him to remain silent and motionless when he is called upon by his ghostly audience. That evening the samurai called for Hoichi as before, and was angered when he received no response. The ghostly samurai approached Hoichi but was unable to see anything but his ears. The sutra had rendered the rest of Hoichi's body invisible. Attempting to comply with his orders, the samurai ripped Hoichi's ears off as proof that they had been the only portion of the lute player that was available.\n\nAfter the ghostly retainer had left, Hoichi was still too frightened to react, despite the blood gushing from the wounds on his head. When the priest returned, he realized in dismay that he had neglected to write the sutra on Hoichi's ears, which had left them vulnerable to the spirit. Despite his injury, Hoichi's ordeal had freed him from the spirit's power, and he went on to recover from his wounds and become a famous musician.\n\nSetting and variants\nThe vintage text also names Hōichi as the biwa strumming protagonist, and is set in Akama-seki, Chōshū, at the Buddhist temple named Amidaji (all as in Hearn's version). This locale is identifiable as today's Akama Shrine in Shimonoseki, Yamaguchi.\n\nA variant version collected by folklorists is called , taken down from Tokushima Prefecture (near Dannoura), and is mentioned by Kunio Yanagita in .\n\nCultural references\nHoichi is often referenced in the book Blood Ninja and Blood Ninja 2, as the character Shusaku's choice to paint himself in order to hide from other vampires is compared to the tale of Hoichi.\n\nIn popular culture\nA fictionalized version of this tale serves as an episode of the 2003 series 100 Tales of Horror (怪談百物語, Kaidan Hyaku Monogatari). In the particular episode, Hoichi's background was revised as having been originally a foot-soldier of the Heike, tasked to guard one of their princesses—one he eventually kills due to being maltreated. Afterwards, he presents the princess's head to a Genji commander, who rebukes him for betraying his charge and eventually blinding him as punishment. As his atonement, he began to perform The Tale of the Heike. The storyline follows the original elements of the folktale—with the twist being the ghostly court he performs to is eventually revealed to be his former Heike compatriots, and who finally takes his ears as a final act of spite before letting him go.\n\nHis reflection is also used by the yokai \"Biwa Boku-boku\" (a haunted biwa) in the video game Nioh and its sequel.\n\nSee also\nKwaidan (film)\nJapanese mythology\nHeart Sutra\n\nReferences\n\n The Story of Mimi-nashi-Hoichi \n ヘルン文庫 (full-color PDF of vintage text, illustrated)\n\nExternal links\n Earless Hoichi at Akama Shrine - A photo of Hoichi with his biwa at Akama Shrine\n\nBuddhist folklore\nJapanese folklore\nBiwa players\nLegendary people\nFictional Japanese people\nFictional string musicians",
"A , often translated in English as \"usher\", \"ring attendant\", or \"ring announcer\", is a handyman employed by the Japan Sumo Association, responsible for various tasks essential to the traditional running of professional sumo tournaments () in Japan.\n\nEstablished during the Heian period, the role of was not codified as we know it today until the Kansei era. Nicknamed \"sumo's workhorses\" by former Takamiyama, and subject to the same strict hierarchy and traditional appearance as the other professions gravitating around professional sumo, the are notably involved in building the (wrestling ring) or calling wrestlers, or , to the ring when it's their turn to fight. However, as they are not restricted to their duties on tournament days, they are also entrusted with other roles, both administrative and artistic, in the service of the stable to which they are attached.\n\nHistory\nThe status of did not appear until 1750. Before the appearance of this term to specifically designate the staff responsible for announcing the wrestlers, several different terms were used over time to designate the . During the Heian period, there was a role known as , who was responsible for presenting the wrestlers to the emperor and the nobility who attended the matches. During the Edo period, the role became more codified, the staff responsible for calling the wrestlers inherited the name , meaning 'preceding referees'. Later came the terms and , both of which also mean 'to announce something', to refer more specifically to the personnel announcing the wrestlers. Since in earlier times the would sat down on their heels in the middle of the ring when the wrestlers arrived and call them by name, they inherited another name: , meaning 'squatting referees'.\n\nCareer and ranking\nThe maximum number of allowed in the Sumo Association is 45. As of April 2023, there are 45 within the Sumo Association.\n\n are employees of the Japan Sumo Association, but like the wrestlers, they are affiliated with the stables. Like , new recruits can only begin their career under the age of 19 and must have completed compulsory education. Most of them enter at 15, and it's not uncommon for most of the newcomers to be amateur wrestlers who haven't managed to break through but are keen to stay in the world of sumo, which fascinates them. They then work up a career ladder roughly based on the ranking system for wrestlers, as described, until their retirement at 65. The current ranking system was created in July 1993 and consists of the following nine ranks:\n\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n\nPromotion through these ranks is based primarily on experience, although ability is also taken into account, particularly in promotions to the top ranks. Junior however undergo six months of theoretical training in one of the Kokugikan's training rooms under the tutelage of their seniors. It takes around 15 years for a to be promoted from the bottom of the hierarchy to the rank of . The are promoted only after 30 years of service. are not generally promoted until they have 45 to 50 years of experience. Most of these ranks clearly follow those for the ranking of , or wrestlers, with the exception of the and ranks, which stand for chief and deputy chief, respectively. This system is identical to that applied for . Prior to July 1993, were simply ranked first-class, second-class and so on.\n\nWhile a earns between 360,000 and 400,000 yen (~$2513/€2313), the average Japanese salary for a salaryman, a young apprentice earns just 14,000 yen (~$97/€89) a month. In the past, lived on tips alone. In the same way that low-ranking wrestlers are deprived of certain freedoms, junior are also forbidden to live anywhere other than in their stable and are not allowed to marry while -ranked are allowed these liberties and have a assigned to them. The tasks that are undue to a depend on his rank, although all are versatile, with the highest ranks appearing at the end of the day and performing tasks that put them in the public eye.\n\nFrom October 2019 to December 2023, the position was vacant after the incumbent, Takuro, from Kasugano stable, was suspended for two tournaments and announced his retirement for hitting a junior over the head after he caught him eating in the customer seating area on . In September 2023, however, it was announced that Jirō (also from Kasugano stable), would be promoted by two ranks to become from December 25 of the same year.\n\nResponsibilities\n\nIn keeping with their workman outfits, the are actually the Japan Sumo Association's handymen, or odd-job men, and have a wide variety of tasks. During the tournament, are by far the busiest workers, staying for the whole of the fighting days, staying on site from 7.30am to 6pm. These tasks begin before the official opening of the tournaments () with the construction of the (sumo ring).\n\nBuilding the ring\n\nConstruction begins five days before the first day of the tournament (). 40 tonnes of a special clay, called Arakida, collected in the town of Kawagoe (Saitama Prefecture) are needed for its construction and the use small trucks to transport the materials. As well as building the ring, the are also responsible for the facing of the (the suspended roof above the ). Supervision of the construction does not necessarily fall to the . Depending on their skills, a may also supervise the construction of the ring. During (tours), not all are present, and it's not uncommon for local volunteers to help with construction.\n\nCalling the wrestlers\nThe 's most emblematic task is to call the wrestlers into the ring for their match of the day. Dressed traditionally and holding a simple white fan, they call the wrestlers by their , or ring-name, in a high-pitched and melodious way. The use of a fan was originally intended to prevent droplets of saliva from soiling the sacred surface of the . Because of the large number of wrestlers in the divisions, the who enter the ring are notoriously using cheat sheets so as not to make any mistakes in public. On even-numbered days, the call is made from the east, then the west, and on odd-numbered days the call is made in the other way round.\n\nOther tasks\n\nAnother recognisable task of the is parading the (advertising) banners around the ring before particular match-ups between popular wrestlers, which are often sponsored by companies. The are responsible for banging the drum at different times of the day. Originally, these different times were used to convey different messages to spectators outside the arena. The first drum sound is the , played during the 15 days of the tournaments, for 30 minutes from 8am to announce the opening of a day of matches. At the end of the day, immediately after the (bow-twirling) ceremony, the is played to invite spectators leaving the arena to disperse. Before the Second World War, the took part in the tours separately and by (clan), therefore the method used to beat the drum was different and these variations are traditionally preserved today, even if all now take part in the tours equally. High-ranking finally accompany -ranked wrestlers in their ring-entering ceremonies by sounding their , an instrument consisting of two pieces of cherry wood tied together with a cord.\n\nOther tasks on match days include: sweeping the ring, providing purification salt, handing towels to wrestlers, displaying banners showing that a match has been decided by default (usually due to a competitor's withdrawal), or subject to a rematch after the next two bouts, and ensuring that, during a bout, no wrestler injures himself on the bucket of (power water) situated at each east and west side of the ring. The are also responsible for bringing the thick cushions of the -ranked wrestlers to the ring, which are handed to them by the (assistant) who come out of the changing rooms. Junior also help senior during the ceremony. Less publicly, also take care of many small requests made by the Sumo Association executives on judging duty or guard duty in the corridors, such as fetching drinks or cigarettes.\n\nNevertheless, the responsibility for is not simply confined to tournament days. As , like wrestlers, belong to the stables, they are also entrusted with tasks by their stablemasters, such as running errands or keeping track of wrestlers' progress during training sessions. When a stable goes on tour in the odd-numbered months, the are also responsible for making the necessary arrangements to reserve accommodation for the masters and wrestlers. When a stable's (training area) needs rebuilding, from the same , to which the stable belongs, take charge of the construction. \n\nIt is also traditional for to write folk songs, called , based on sumo life.\n\nRing names\n take a single name as their ring name, unlike both the wrestlers () and who have both a surname and given name. This may be related to the practice of the Edo period in Japan whereby only samurai class persons could hold a surname. The wrestlers (involved in a martial activity) and (who were lettered) could be construed as having positions consistent with a samurai status, while the did not. As in most traditional Japanese activities, the professional name of the is sometimes derived from the name of the master who taught them, borrowing a kanji from the master's name.\n\nAs from July 1993 the upper ranked also have their names automatically included on the , the ranking sheet produced prior to each . With the exception of a period around the Kansei era to Bunsei era, only the had traditionally been included on the alongside the wrestlers and their training masters, or .\n\nUniform\n\nThe outfit worn by the is loosely based on an old style Japanese workman's outfit, with , working trousers, and socks. The kimono worn by the often displays sponsors' names in black characters and logo. As there are currently eight main sponsors of the Sumo Association, each has eight different kimono which he wears during all 15 days of each basho. The costume is the same for senior and junior ranked and only the kimono worn on the torso varies in color and the names on the back. Since the kimono diplay the logos and names of the sponsors, it is often offered by them and the rarely choose the colors of their kimono. Their colours and designs, on the other hand, are often decided within an , but it can also be presented by who have been promoted to or as a commemorative gift and the , or ring name, of the said wrestler can be seen at top of the back of the , in place of the name of the stable to which the belongs, which is normally found there.\n\nSee also\nList of sumo stables\n, sumo stable\nOther personnel of the Japan Sumo Association\n\nReferences\n\nNotes\n\nBibliography\n\nFurther reading\n (article on a day of matches)\n\nExternal links\n\nList of current yobidashi at Japan Sumo Association homepage\n - Sumo Prime Time episode\n\nJapanese words and phrases\nSumo people\nSumo terminology",

", the story of Oiwa and Tamiya Iemon, is a tale of betrayal, murder and ghostly revenge. Arguably the most famous Japanese ghost story of all time, it has been adapted for film over 30 times and continues to be an influence on Japanese horror today.

Normally, with a Kabuki double-feature, the first play is staged in its entirety, followed by the second play. However, in the case of Yotsuya Kaidan it was decided to interweave the two dramas, with a full staging on two days: the first day started with Kanadehon Chushingura from Act I to Act VI, followed by Tōkaidō Yotsuya Kaidan from Act I to Act III. The following day started with the Onbo canal scene, followed by Kanadehon Chushingura from Act VII to Act XI, then came Act IV and Act V of Tōkaidō Yotsuya Kaidan to conclude the program.\n\nThe play was incredibly successful, and forced the producers to schedule extra out-of-season performances to meet demand. The story tapped into people’s fears by bringing the ghosts of Japan out of the temples and aristocrats' mansions and into the home of common people, the exact type of people who were the audience of his theater.\n\nStory\nAs the most-adapted Japanese ghost story, the details of Yotsuya Kaidan have been altered over time, often bearing little resemblance to the original kabuki play, and sometimes removing the ghostly element altogether. However, the base story usually remains the same and recognizable.\n\n(Note: the following summary is of the original 1825 Nakamuraza production. As such, it does not detail the numerous subplots and characters added to the story over the intervening years.)\n\nAct 1\nTamiya Iemon, a rōnin, is having a heated exchange with his father-in-law, Yotsuya Samon, concerning Samon's daughter Oiwa. After it is suggested by Samon that Iemon and his daughter should separate, the ronin becomes enraged and murders Samon. The next scene focuses on the character Naosuke who is sexually obsessed with Oiwa's sister, the prostitute Osode, despite her being already married to another man, Satô Yomoshichi. As this scene begins, Naosuke is at the local brothel making romantic advances toward Osode when Yomoshichi and the brothel's owner, Takuetsu, enter. Unable to pay a fee demanded by Takuetsu, he is mocked by both Yomoshichi and Osode and forcibly removed. Shortly afterwards he kills his former master, whom he mistakes for Yomoshichi, at the precise time of the slaying of Samon. It is at this point that Iemon and Naosuke unite and conspire to mislead Oiwa and Osode into believing that they will exact revenge on the people responsible for their father's death. In return Osode agrees to marry Naosuke.\n\nAct 2\nOume, the granddaughter of Itô Kihei, has fallen in love with Iemon. However, believing herself to be less attractive than Oiwa, she doesn't think Iemon will ever want to become her husband. Sympathizing with Oume's plight, the Itôs scheme to have Oiwa disfigured by sending her a topical poison disguised as a facial cream. Oiwa, unbeknownst to her at the time, is instantly scarred by the cream when she applies it. Upon seeing his wife's ghastly new countenance, Iemon decides he can no longer remain with her. He asks Takuetsu to rape Oiwa so that he will have an honorable basis for divorce. Takuetsu cannot bring himself to do this, so instead he simply shows Oiwa her reflection in a mirror. Realizing that she has been deceived, Oiwa becomes hysterical and, picking up a sword, runs towards the door. Takuetsu moves to grab her but Oiwa, attempting to evade him, accidentally punctures her own throat with the sword's tip. As she lies bleeding to death before a stunned Takuetsu, she curses Iemon's name. Not long after, Iemon becomes engaged to Oume. Act 2 closes with Iemon being tricked by Oiwa's ghost into slaying both Oume and her grandfather on the night of the wedding.\n\nAct 3\nThe remaining members of the Itô household are annihilated. Iemon kicks Oyumi, the mother of Oume, into the Onbô Canal and Omaki, the servant of Oyumi, drowns by accident. Naosuke arrives in disguise as Gonbei, an eel vendor, and blackmails Iemon into handing over a valuable document. Iemon contemplates his prospects while fishing at the Onbô canal. On the embankment above the canal, Iemon, Yomoshichi and Naosuke appear to fumble as they struggle for possession of a note which passes from hand to hand in the darkness.\n\nAct 4\nAt the opening Naosuke is pressuring Osode to consummate their marriage, to which she seems oddly averse. Yomoshichi appears and accuses Osode of adultery. Osode resigns herself to death in atonement and convinces Naosuke and Yomoshichi that they should kill her. She leaves a farewell note from which Naosuke learns that Osode was his younger sister. For the shame of this, as well as for the killing of his former master, he commits suicide.\n\nAct 5\nIemon, still haunted by the ghost of Oiwa, flees to an isolated mountain retreat. There he rapidly descends into madness as his dreams and reality begin to merge and Oiwa's haunting intensifies. The act closes with Yomoshichi slaying Iemon out of both vengeance and compassion.\n\nHistorical basis\n\nNanboku incorporated two sensational and real-life murders into Yotsuya Kaidan, combining fact and fiction in a manner that resonated with audiences. The first involved two servants who had murdered their respective masters. They were caught and executed on the same day. The second murder was from a samurai who discovered his concubine was having an affair with a servant. The samurai had the faithless concubine and servant nailed to a wooden board and thrown into the Kanda River.\n\nPopularity\nYotsuya Kaidan'''s popularity is often accounted for by the way it fit the mood of its time, as well as its use of universal themes. The Bunsei era was a time of social unrest, and the repressed position of women in society was severe. The 100 exchange of power for powerlessness was something audiences could relate to. Oiwa went from a delicate victim to a powerful avenger, while Iemon transforms from tormentor to tormented.\n\nAlso, Oiwa is much more direct in her vengeance than Okiku, another popular kabuki ghost, and she is much more brutal. This added level of violence thrilled audiences, who were seeking more and more violent forms of entertainment.\n\nIn addition, the performance of Yotsuya Kaidan was filled with fantastic special effects, with her ruined face projecting magnificently from an onstage lantern, and her hair falling out in impossible amounts.Yotsuya Kaidan paired the conventions of kizewamono \"raw life play\", which looked at the lives of non-nobles, and kaidanmono \"ghost play\".\n\nGhost of Oiwa\n\nOiwa is an onryō, a ghost who seeks vengeance. Her strong passion for revenge allows her to bridge the gap back to Earth. She shares most of the common traits of this style of Japanese ghost, including the white dress representing the burial kimono she would have worn, the long, ragged hair and white/indigo face that marks a ghost in kabuki theater.\n\nThere are specific traits to Oiwa that set her apart physically from other onryou. Most famous is her left eye, which droops down her face due to poison given her by Iemon. This feature is exaggerated in kabuki performances to give Oiwa a distinct appearance. She is often shown as partially bald, another effect of the poison. In a spectacular scene in the kabuki play, the living Oiwa sits before a mirror and combs her hair, which comes falling out due to the poison. This scene is a subversion of erotically-charged hair combing scenes in kabuki love plays. The hair piles up to tremendous heights, achieved by a stage hand who sits under the stage and pushes more and more hair up through the floor while Oiwa is combing.\n\nOiwa is supposedly buried at a temple, Myogyo-ji, in Sugamo, a neighborhood of Tokyo. The date of her death is listed as February 22, 1636. Several productions of Yotsuya Kaidan, including television and movie adaptations, have reported mysterious accidents, injuries and even deaths. Prior to staging an adaptation of Yotsuya Kaidan it is now a tradition for the principal actors and the director to make a pilgrimage to Oiwa's grave and ask her permission and blessing for their production. This is considered especially important of the actor assuming the role of Oiwa.\n\nSadako Yamamura from the film Ring is a clear homage to Oiwa. Her final appearance is a direct adaptation of Oiwa, including the cascading hair and drooping, malformed eye.\nAlso in Ju-on when Hitomi is watching the television, the television presenter is morphed into a woman with one small eye and one large eye- possibly a reference to Oiwa.\n\nYotsuya Kaidan and ukiyo-e\nBeing a popular Kabuki play, Yotsuya Kaidan soon became a popular subject for ukiyo-e artists as well. In 1826, the same year the play opened at Sumiza Theater in Osaka, Shunkosai Hokushu produced The Ghost of Oiwa. She is recognizable by her drooping eyes and partial baldness.\n\nAn unusual image featuring a still-living Oiwa was depicted as one of the New Forms of Thirty-Six Ghosts by Tsukioka Yoshitoshi.\n\nKatsushika Hokusai created perhaps the most iconic image of Oiwa, in his series One Hundred Ghost Stories, in which he drew the face of her angry spirit merged with a temple lantern. Shunkosai Hokuei made a visual quotation of Hokusai's design in the illustration above, including Iemon as he turns to meet the apparition, drawing his sword. The lantern scene is a favorite, also being carved into netsuke. This image of Oiwa appears to give Akari Ichijou a cup of tea in her victory pose in the arcade game The Last Blade.\n\nUtagawa Kuniyoshi illustrated the scene at Hebiyama, showing a still-lantern-headed Oiwa coming for Iemon, surrounded by snakes and smoke.\n\nFilm adaptations\n\nThe first film adaptation was made in 1912, and it was filmed some 18 times between 1913 and 1937. A notable adaptation was Shimpan Yotsuya Kaidan by Itō Daisuke, one of the foremost Japanese directors of his time. \n\nA 1949 adaptation, The New Version of the Ghost of Yotsuya (Shinshaku Yotsuya kaidan), by Kinoshita Keisuke removed the ghostly elements and presented Oiwa as an apparition of her husband's guilty psyche. It was also known as The Phantom of Yotsuya.\n\nThe Shintoho studio produced Nobuo Nakagawa's 1959 Ghost of Yotsuya (Tokaido Yotsuya kaidan), which is often considered by critics to be the finest screen adaptation of the story. Toho produced a version of Ghost of Yotsuya in 1965 directed by Shirō Toyoda and starring Tatsuya Nakadai that was released as Illusion of Blood abroad. In 1994, Kinji Fukasaku returned to the Kabuki roots and combined the stories of Chūshingura and Yotsuya Kaidan into the single Crest of Betrayal.\n\nThere have also been adaptations on television. Story 1 of the Japanese television drama Kaidan Hyaku Shosetsu was a version of Yotsuya Kaidan, and episodes 1–4 of Ayakashi: Samurai Horror Tales, a 2006 anime television series, were also a retelling of the story.\n\nBy tradition, production crews adapting the story for film or stage visit Oiwa's gravesite in Myogyoji Temple in Sugamo, Toshima-ku, Tokyo to pay their respects, as an urban legend states that injuries and fatalities will befall the cast if they do not.\n\nSome critics have identified loose connections between the story of Oiwa and the plot of the Ju-On films.\n\nSee also\nBotan Dōrō\nBanchō Sarayashiki\nOnryō\nObake\nYūrei\nJapanese mythology\nVengeful ghost\nMacbeth\n\nNotes\n\nReferences\n\nAddiss, Steven, Japanese Ghosts and Demons, USA, George Braziller, Inc., 1986, \nAraki, James T., Traditional Japanese Theater: An Anthology of Plays, USA, Columbia University Press, 1998\nIwasaka, Michiko, Ghosts and the Japanese: Cultural Experience in Japanese Death Legends, USA, Utah State University Press 1994, \nRoss, Catrien, Supernatural and Mysterious Japan, Tokyo, Japan, Tuttle Publishing, 1996, \nScherer, Elisabeth, Haunting Gaps: Gender, Modernity, Film and the Ghosts of Yotsuya Kaidan, in: Journal of Modern Literature in Chinese 12.1, Winter 2014, Special Issue on \"Recognizing Ghosts\", pp. 73–88. \n\nExternal links\n\n田中貢太郎「南北の東海道四谷怪談」& 田中貢太郎「四谷怪談」 online texts of Yotsuya Kaidan'' by Tanaka Kotaro at Aozora Bunko.\nOiwa Inari Tamiya Jinja, a shrine connected to one of Japan’s most famous ghost stories “Yotsuya Kaidan”\n\nJapanese ghosts\nJapanese folklore\n\nKabuki plays\n1825 plays\nJapanese horror films\nFemale legendary creatures",

He had an early start in NYC's underground punk rock scene as lead guitarist for the Sic F*cks with Tish Bellomo and Snooky Bellomo, a band who, despite the inability to have their name said on",

The series had debuted six months earlier to a lukewarm reception from audience and critics alike, and a major cast and crew re-shuffle was imminent. His girlfriend didn't get the part, but the casting director liked Bruce so much they offered him the part of a new character called Max Simmons, a new recruit at the community police station. Introduced early in Season 2, his role was primarily comic relief, but with the addition of ruthless killer Sonny Bennett to proceedings, E Street's storylines grew darker and the character of Max became more central and balanced. By 1992, Samazan was at the height of his fame, and won the 1992 Silver Logie as the Most Popular Actor on Australian television.\n\nBy the beginning of 1993, E Street's popularity had dwindled and the producers became more and more desperate to lure viewers. This resulted in one of the soap's more outrageous plots which involved Samazan's character Max turning into a werewolf. Although this scene was part of a dream sequence, it was at this point that the tabloid media began to speculate that E Street had \"jumped the shark\", and the series was cancelled in May 1993. Bruce stayed with the show until the final episode where his character fell in love with Bonnie Tate (Melissa Bell) who awoke from a coma just in time to see the final credits sequence.\n\nIn mid-1993, Samazan released a rap music single under the pseudonym B-Man Samazan on the Westside Records label called \"One of a Kind\", and filmed a music video for the song with Kellie Crawford from Teen Queens (and later of Hi-5 fame). The song peaked at No. 80 on the ARIA Charts in June 1993. Samazan's Neighbours co-star Scott Michaelson went on record during a 2003 court case saying Samazan had been lucky his song did not get too much airplay because it was \"particularly bad\".\n\nNeighbours and Home and Away\nAfter the demise of E Street, Bruce was immediately cast in Network Ten's other major soap series, Neighbours. He played Mark Gottlieb, brother of established character Stephen.\n\nFrom Neighbours, he went straight into the Seven Network's Home and Away for a six-month guest stint as the psychotic Brad Cooper who raped Chloe Richards. He had previously guested on the serial as Mick in 1989 for four episodes.\n\nSamazan returned to Neighbours in 2020, reprising his role as Mark Gottlieb for the show's 35th anniversary.\n\nPost-acting career\nAfter giving up acting in 2000, Samazan worked as a real estate agent in Wollongong for four years. He has worked for Real Estate Australia as a sales consultant. He reportedly spent four years at PRDnationwide Helensburgh finishing up in 2006.\n\nHe made a part-time return to acting, appearing in guest roles in Big Sky and Head Start''.\n\nSamazan Pty Ltd, a company registered in 1991 which was directed by Bruce Samazan, was deregistered in late 2008.\n\nDiscography\n\nSingles\n\nReferences\n\nExternal links\n\n1970 births\nAustralian male television actors\nLiving people\nLogie Award winners",
"Capt. Arthur Fancy is a character in the television series NYPD Blue. He is played by James McDaniel from season one through eight.\n\nMcDaniel appears in all 167 episodes from the show's 1993 pilot to the 2001 episode where his departure is depicted.\n\nCapt. Fancy is the focus of several storylines per season and plays a supporting role in other episodes.\n\nBackground\n\nIn an episode in late summer 1995, Fancy stated that he is 42 years old and that he was 41 when his wife had given birth in January 1995,. This places his birthday sometime between January and August 1953. He also alluded in season 2 to recently passing his 20-year service mark on the police force, supporting the notion that he joined in 1974 at the minimum age of 21.\n\nFancy was one of the newly recruited African American commanders on a force previously controlled by Irish American police officers. According to bigoted officer Jack Hanlon during a conversation with John Kelly, 'the force up until the 1960s was a majority Irish Americans with some Italian American and Jewish officers, but only a few African Americans.' Fancy's storylines often dealt with the challenges of being an African American lieutenant on the NYPD.\n\nFancy commands the respect of black community activists and the (entirely white) upper leadership of the NYPD as he often acts as a mediator between the two during racially tense investigations. He expresses a pragmatic attitude towards older cops' outdated beliefs - at one point telling Andy Sipowicz that 'he accepts having to manage Sipowicz's racist thought patterns because if Sipowicz were removed from the squad his replacement would inevitably be someone just as bigoted but less competent at the job.' At the same time, he maintains a hard line towards overt acts of bigotry. In different episodes, Fancy manages to out-maneuver the attempts of his superior, Captain Haverhill, who opposes appointing black commanders, to frame him for misconduct and threatens a civil lawsuit over racial discrimination. Fancy also engineers consequences for the uniformed officer Szymanski, for a racially motivated traffic stop. In addition, he demands that a crime victim's father, who will not stop yelling racial slurs, be removed from the precinct house.\n\nFamily\nFancy's wife Lillian is played by Tamara Tunie. When the show began, they have two daughters and a son, Arthur Jr., born during the run of the show. The family also participates in the foster children program. Lillian is diabetic, which causes Fancy to be overprotective during her last pregnancy; which he later apologizes for.\n\nHe has a younger brother, a hotheaded uniformed officer named Reggie (played by Michael Jai White) who is distrustful of whites. Reggie's combative behavior draws the ire of his sergeant, a bigot named McNamara who attended the police academy with Fancy. In an attempt to get Reggie fired, McNamara helps a black gypsy cab driver falsely accuse Reggie of taking kickbacks, which led Reggie to be suspended. McNamara innocently claims he is merely following department procedure. Fancy, aware of both McNamara's racism and of his collaboration with the cabbie (Fancy notes the \"textbook language\" in the written complaint), informed his detectives. They conducted an investigation that revealed Reggie's innocence and McNamara's misdeeds. McNamara had no option but to end his vendetta against Reggie, and Fancy suggested Reggie immediately transfer to another precinct to get away from McNamara. Fancy also used the opportunity to provide Reggie a lesson in professionalism and trust by pointing out that none of the detectives who aided him — Medavoy, Martinez, and Simone — were African-American.\n\nIt is revealed in season 6 that Fancy's father was an alcoholic who stole his mother's hard-earned money and died a broken man in the streets, which motivates Fancy to succeed in both his career and family life. His family takes in a foster child named Maceo in season 1, and Fancy is devastated when Maceo's mom, a reformed drug abuser, later returns to reclaim custody. In season 4 when Maceo is arrested for running drugs for his off-the-wagon mom, and Fancy has to convince him to cooperate with the NYPD in a sting against her associates. As Maceo watches from an observation window, his mother blames him and says prison might do him some good. Fancy puts together a deal with the prosecutor that results in Maceo spending a few years on a work farm instead of many years in prison, then counsels him that when he released he will still be young enough to make something good of his life.\n\nRelationship with 15th Precinct commanders\nWhen a borough commander named Haverhill (played by James Handy) planned to fabricate reasons to remove Fancy from command, Andy Sipowicz used information about an unsolved organized crime murder to blackmail Haverhill into leaving Fancy alone.\n\nHaverill later started a witch hunt directed at Detective John Kelly, one of Fancy's best detectives. After stoking an investigation based on flimsy allegations, Haverhill provoked Kelly into committing an act of insubordination. Now able to discipline Kelly, Haverhill assigns him to menial work as a dispatcher. Rather than accept this humiliating demotion, Kelly resigns from the force, much to Fancy's regret.\n\nIn another attempt to wreck Fancy's career, Haverhill later tried to use one of Fancy's informants to make it appear Fancy was corrupt. Fancy uncovered the plan and got the informant to record Haverhill calling Fancy a \"nigger\". After Fancy and his detectives prevented the robbery of an armored car, Fancy played the recording for Haverhill and gave him two choices - early retirement or a civil trial for racial discrimination. Haverhill angrily retired.\n\nHaverhill's replacement, Captain Clifford Bass, was a veteran of patrol. He disagreed with Fancy at times, but was always supportive of Fancy and his detectives.\n\nRelationship with Detective Sipowicz\nFancy was one of the characters who most influenced Andy Sipowicz, changing his once openly racist views. Most of Sipowicz's hostility toward Fancy originated from Sipowicz's troubled past with African Americans stemming from his childhood and early days on the force infiltrating the Black Panther Party. Fancy at the same time had dealt with bigoted white police officers since his days at the police academy and was not easily intimidated by Sipowicz's racist attitudes.\n\nFancy and Sipowicz clashed many times throughout the early years, most notably over a racially charged police shooting and Sipowicz's exchange of racist words with a black community activist, but eventually they grew to admire and respect each other's talents. Andy was often \"sure\" Fancy wanted him gone— when Andy was not promoted to Detective First Grade, which Fancy advocated, Andy initially believed Fancy sabotaged him. In fact, Fancy was much more likely to save Andy from career suicide, as he did on an occasion where Andy's alcoholism should have led to him being forced to retire.\n\nDespite his bigoted obstinacy, Sipowicz respected Fancy as his boss, defending him on numerous occasions, including blackmailing Fancy's superior, Borough Commander Haverhill, after Sipowicz suspected that Haverhill was planning on transferring Fancy to another precinct because Haverhill was an overt racist who wanted a white male to take over the 15th precinct. Fancy made it clear that he respected Sipowicz's investigative talents, refusing to transfer Sipowicz out of the 15th when given the opportunity to. In assessing his detectives for incoming squad commander Tony Rodriguez, Fancy bluntly stated that if a member of his family was killed, he would want Andy to be the lead investigator.\n\nBayside, Queens incident\n\nIn Season 4, Fancy and his wife were stopped at a traffic light and treated in a rough and possibly racist manner by two uniformed police officers in Bayside, Queens.\n\nThe following day, Fancy called the officers in, claiming that they had overreacted pulling them over and treating them as if they were suspects in an armed robbery. After questioning the officers, Fancy concluded that he and his wife were pulled over at gunpoint strictly on the basis of their race. The senior officer, Szymanski, vehemently denied pulling them over on the basis of their race and claimed they did that to every suspect as a precaution.\n\nAngered, Fancy went to Captain Bass, requesting that the Chief of Patrol transfer Officer Szymanski out of the predominantly Caucasian precinct of Bayside, Queens. Fancy figured that Szymanski would be forced to both \"earn his money\" and learn to better interact with African Americans working in a predominantly African American precinct. Junior Officer McCaslin had only been on the force 10 months, was seated in the passenger's seat of the squad car, and Fancy believed he was merely backing Szymanski, his superior.\n\nFancy recommended that Szymanski go to a precinct located either in Harlem or Brooklyn North; Szymanski was reassigned to a precinct in Brooklyn's Bedford-Stuyvesant neighborhood. He then came to Fancy, furious over having been reassigned to a \"toilet\", claiming that Fancy wrongfully abused his power - which Fancy frankly admitted to doing, pointing out, \"When you pull someone over, no telling who you're dealing with\".\n\nCaptain Bass then came to Fancy, telling him that putting Szymanski in Bedford-Stuyvesant was a bad idea — that putting a bigoted police officer in a problematic and predominantly African American precinct would only add to that community's problems and compromise the safety of innocent citizens there. Fancy realized what Bass was saying was true, and got Szymanski transferred under his command at the 15th precinct, where he was assigned a black partner.\n\nSzymanski later faced false accusations of robbing a black drug dealer and assassinating a Black undercover officer while at the 15th. Fancy nevertheless came through clearing Szymanski of both problems after hearing Szymanski's side of both situations leading to a truce between the two.\n\nPromotion to Captain\nAfter nine successful years as the commander of the 15th Precinct's detective squad, Fancy was promoted to captain. When the 15th Squad discovered that Captain Bass's wife was injuring herself as a means of getting attention, Bass expressed gratitude that they kept the matter from becoming a criminal case or a news story. He retired to care for her and recommended Fancy as his replacement. When the extremely unpopular Lieutenant Susan Dalto was transferred in as his replacement, Fancy called on Bass for one last favor, and Bass had Dalto transferred out. Fancy was replaced by Lieutenant Tony Rodriguez.\n\nReferences \n\nFictional New York City Police Department captains\nNYPD Blue characters\nFictional African-American people\nFictional New York City Police Department lieutenants\nTelevision characters introduced in 1993",

"Avenger is a political thriller novel by English writer Frederick Forsyth, published in September 2003.\nIt was adapted for television as the 2006 film Avenger starring Sam Elliott.\n\nPlot summary\nThe first act of the novel introduces Calvin Dexter, the main character of the story. Dexter is described as a lawyer in his early fifties with a passion for running triathlons to keep in shape. The book digs into his past and reveals that he is a highly decorated Vietnam War veteran, and that his last tour of duty was as a tunnel rat, an extremely élite and secret task force that descended deep into the catacombs of Vietcong tunnels to hunt down the enemy in their own lairs. Dexter later married and had a daughter who at the age of 16 was lured away and forced into prostitution by Latino gang members and eventually murdered. Dexter hunts down his daughter's killers in Panama and executes them, then returns home only to discover that his beloved wife couldn't deal with the death of their only child and has committed suicide during his absence. He moves away and becomes only a small-town lawyer in his public face. But when the reason and price are right, he transforms himself into the \"Avenger\" and delivers justice not by killing criminals but by 'rendering' them to the United States, so that they will stand trial for their crimes against Americans. Intertwined into the backstory of Calvin Dexter is the narrative of a young American volunteer from a very privileged family who was killed while delivering aid in Bosnia during the Bosnian War.\n\nAs the second act kicks into gear, the boy's grandfather, a Canadian billionaire named Stephen Edmonds, hires a tracker to discover the identity of his sole grandson's killer and eventually learns him to be Zoran Žilić, a sadistic hitman for Slobodan Milošević's government. The CIA had followed the movements of Žilić during the war, but let him slip off the radar after the fall of Milošević. Edmonds then learns of the services provided by the Avenger and hires him to pursue Žilić and bring him to trial. It is then revealed that a secret section in the CIA, headed by Paul Devereaux III, a dedicated patriot, has been working with Žilić in recent months with plans to use him as bait to eliminate another terrorist danger — Osama bin Laden himself. From the CIA’s point of view, Žilić, despite his horrific crimes, had been marginalised as a result of the end of hostilities in Bosnia and could be used to neutralise a much larger threat to the American way of life.\n\nThe third act details the actions of the \"Avenger\" as he tracks Žilić to his palatial and fully self-sufficient farm/compound in South America. Meanwhile, the CIA operatives work furiously to prevent the \"Avenger\" from nabbing Žilić. The Avenger is tipped off by an unknown ally that the CIA is onto him and outsmarts them at every turn. He successfully manages to transport Žilić to Key West and into police custody. It is revealed in the aftermath that the person that tipped Dexter off was his Tunnel Rat partner from Vietnam, who is now Devereaux's deputy. Just as the story ends, the date is stated to be September 10, 2001.\n\n2003 British novels\nBritish novels adapted into films\nNovels by Frederick Forsyth\nPolitical thriller novels\nBritish political novels\nNovels set in Florida\nNovels set in Panama\nNovels set in Vietnam\nNovels set in New York City\nNovels set in New Jersey\nNovels set in Ontario\nNovels set in Virginia\nBritish novels adapted into television shows\nCultural depictions of Slobodan Milošević\nBantam Books books",

"Beverly Hills Cop is a film franchise of American action comedy films and an unaired television pilot based on characters created by Daniel Petrie, Jr. and Danilo Bach. The films star Eddie Murphy as Axel Foley, a street-smart Detroit cop who travels to Beverly Hills, California to investigate a crime, even though it is out of his jurisdiction. There, he meets Detective Billy Rosewood (Judge Reinhold), Sergeant John Taggart (John Ashton), and Lieutenant Andrew Bogomil (Ronny Cox). Ashton and Cox do not appear in Beverly Hills Cop III. Murphy and Reinhold are the only actors who appear in all four films. Harold Faltermeyer produced the \"Axel F\" theme song heard throughout the series. The first three films have been distributed by Paramount Pictures, while Netflix is set to distribute the fourth film. The films have grossed a total of $712 million at the worldwide box office.\n\nFollowing a failed attempt at a television series based on the films, a fourth film is in development with Murphy and producer Jerry Bruckheimer set to return.\n\nBackground\n\nAxel Foley\n\nFilms\n\nBeverly Hills Cop (1984)\n\nAxel Foley (Eddie Murphy) is introduced as a Detroit cop who, after the murder of his best friend, travels to California to investigate and track down the killer(s), whom he believes operates an art dealership as a cover in Beverly Hills. He teams up with two reluctant detectives from the Beverly Hills Police Department, Billy Rosewood (Judge Reinhold) and John Taggart (John Ashton), who were ordered to keep a watch on him, especially after seeing Foley's differing approach to police work, tactics considered unacceptable by the chief of police.\n\nBeverly Hills Cop II (1987)\n\nAxel returns to Beverly Hills, after finding out that Captain Andrew Bogomil (Ronny Cox) was shot. He once again teams up with Rosewood and Taggart, who, reluctantly and against incompetent and verbally abusive Police Chief Harold Lutz's (Allen Garfield) orders, assist Foley to find the person responsible for Bogomil's shooting. Axel, Rosewood and Taggart discover that the alphabet crimes, a series of felonies (robberies and Bogomil's shooting) that have been going on in the area, are masterminded by weapons kingpin Maxwell Dent (Jürgen Prochnow). With this information, the trio set out to find Dent and his lover, Karla Fry (Brigitte Nielsen).\n\nBeverly Hills Cop III (1994)\n\nAxel returns to Beverly Hills once again. During an assignment, his boss, Inspector Todd (Gil Hill) is killed, and certain evidence points towards an amusement park called \"Wonderworld\". Upon arriving in Beverly Hills, Axel looks up Rosewood, who has attained the title of DDOJSIOC (Deputy Director of Joint Special Inter Operational Command). Taggart has retired and a new detective, Jon Flint (Hector Elizondo), serves as Rosewood's new partner.\n\nBeverly Hills Cop: Axel Foley (TBA)\n\nA fourth installment was initially announced for release in the mid-'90s, under the helm of Murphy's production company, though this never came to fruition. The project was announced once again to be in development in 2006, with Bruckheimer once again serving as producer. This changed when Lorenzo di Bonaventura stepped in as producer. After various versions of the script had undergone rewrites, Brett Ratner signed on to direct. By July 2008, Michael Brandt and Derek Haas were hired as screenwriters to rewrite the existing script. After the script was completed, it was decided that the story needed another rewrite.\n\nBy October 2011, the fourth film was shelved in favor of a television series centered around Axel's son, Aaron (Brandon T. Jackson). Murphy signed on as producer for the series, citing issues with the script as the reason that the film was not being made. In December 2013 after filming a pilot episode, and when CBS passed on a series order, Paramount revived Beverly Hills Cop IV. Ratner was once again hired to serve as director, with Murphy reprising the role of Axel. By May 2014, Josh Appelbaum and André Nemec were hired to write the screenplay. The state of Michigan approved $13.5 million in film incentives, based on an estimated $56.6 million of filmmaker spending in the state. The film, intended to be shot in and around Detroit and was estimated to provide jobs for 352 workers, was originally scheduled for a March 25, 2016, release, but was later pulled due to script concerns.\n\nIn June 2016, it was announced that Adil El Arbi and Bilall Fallah were hired to replace Ratner as co-directors. In September 2018, the filmmakers expressed their interest in having Tom Hardy or Channing Tatum cast in supporting roles. In October 2019, Murphy announced that principal photography would commence, once Coming 2 America had finished production. In November 2019, Paramount announced that they had licensed the property to be distributed by Netflix, with options for an additional sequel thereafter. By May 2020, after delays in the filmmaking business caused by the COVID-19 pandemic, Arbi and Fallah confirmed they are still attached and that a new screenwriter was working on a new script. In February 2022, the film entered pre-production and received a California state tax credit of $16,059,000 total. In April 2022, it was announced that Mark Molloy would replace Arbi and Fallah as director of the film. In the same article, Will Beall was announced to have written the screenplay. In August 2022, Jerry Bruckheimer revealed the fourth installment is set to begin filming late August-early September. The same month, Joseph Gordon-Levitt and Taylour Paige were cast. In the same month, Paul Reiser and John Ashton were confirmed to reprise their roles as Det. Jeffrey Friedman and Sgt. John Taggart, respectively. In September 2022, it was confirmed that Judge Reinhold and Bronson Pinchot would reprise their roles as Det. William \"Billy\" Rosewood and Serge, respectively.\n\nTelevision\nCBS ordered a pilot with Brandon T. Jackson starring as Axel Foley's son, Aaron. The hour-long crime drama was produced by writer Shawn Ryan (The Shield, The Chicago Code).\n\nIn January 2013, Ryan stated, \"It's going to be a CBS procedural. We're going to solve a case every week, but we're going to do it with a lot of humor and a lot of fun. And I would say the stealth thing I would like to get in is, in a day and age when income inequality and class inequities dominate a lot of the country, this is going to be an opportunity to put a young working-class kid in Detroit in the middle of Beverly Hills, you can do a lot of stealth social commentary. My approach is to update it and make it feel modern and 2013. The pilot opens with a 4–5 minute sequence which I think is really harrowing and really dangerous, that would be something that you might have seen on Chicago Code or The Shield. I want it to feel grounded in that way. There'll be some opportunities for laughs after that. It's not a laughs come first show.\"\n\nIn February 2013, Kevin Pollak was cast as Rodney Daloof, an irritating and risk-averse in-house attorney for the Beverly Hills Police Department. David Denman was cast as Brad, an honest and likable but socially awkward detective, formerly a baseball player and a musician. Director Barry Sonnenfeld agreed to both direct the Beverly Hills Cop pilot and serve as an executive producer. In May 2013, CBS decided to pass on the Beverly Hills Cop TV series. In August 2013, Jackson gave his reason about the pass: I think we were very edgy for CBS. I think we were the edgiest as you could've went for CBS. It would have been like a Fresh Prince thing on CBS, like the edgiest you can go on network TV. But it doesn't agree to our franchise man.\"\n\nIn February 2015, Murphy stated that his cameo appearance in the pilot ironically doomed the show's chances: \"I was gonna be in the pilot, and they thought I should be recurring. I'm not gonna do Beverly Hills Cop on TV. I remember when they tested it — they had this little knob that you turn if you like it or you don't like it. So when Axel shows up in the pilot, some people turned the knob so much, they broke it. So the network decided 'if he isn't recurring, then this isn't gonna happen'. So it didn't happen.\" Four years later, in 2019, Murphy reiterates this statement: The reason that didn't get picked up was because [the studio] thought that I was going to be in this show, because [the lead] was my son: \"And you're going to pop in every now and then\". I was like, \"I ain't popping in shit\". \"Well, we ain't making this TV show\". I was in the pilot, but they wanted me to be there every week. The pilot was really good. It tested where they have these knobs [that you] turn if you like it. And whenever I came on the screen, Axel Foley would come on the screen, they turned it so they literally broke the knobs on the thing. It was like, \"Damn, they breaking knobs?\"\n\nIn a January 2016 interview, Ryan blamed personality clashes with the network: \"The official answer is they decided they liked other pilots better. If you look at what pilots they picked up that year, I think that's kind of incredible. I would say there were a lot of 400 lb. gorillas involved in the show and sometimes the gorillas don't always get along.\" He also said that he was very proud of the pilot and loved working with Murphy. After CBS passed on ordering the pilot episode to series, Paramount moved on developing a fourth film instead.

"Clinton Tyree, a.k.a. Skink, is a fictional character who has appeared in several novels by Carl Hiaasen, beginning with Double Whammy in 1987. He is a former governor of Florida who suddenly abandoned his office to live in the wilderness, most often the Everglades and, later, the Florida Keys. Tyree is depicted as a skilled outdoorsman, a partaker of roadkill cuisine, and a fierce and slightly unhinged opponent of sprawl and overdevelopment in the state.\n\nFictional biography\nTyree served as Governor of Florida in the 1970s. He was everything desirable in a candidate: a native of Florida, a college football star, and a decorated Vietnam veteran. He was dazzlingly handsome, charismatic, and articulate. He was also a former English professor at the University of Florida, though politically most people saw this as a handicap rather than an asset.\n\nTo the surprise of the Florida establishment, he was also one of the few honest men to hold the office, if not the only one. After he turned down a bribe from real estate developers, the developers assumed he was holding out for more money, and came back offering a larger bribe, along with a foolproof scheme for concealing the money. To their astonishment, the governor not only refused again, but had them arrested in an F.B.I. sting.\n\nTyree was also vehemently opposed to runaway growth in Florida, and gained national recognition for his passionate speeches and legislative proposals to discourage tourism, curtail land development, and protect the environment. For example, one of his proposed laws would have required any boat driver who killed a manatee to immediately forfeit his boat, pay a $10,000 fine or go to jail for forty-five days, and bury the dead animal himself at a public ceremony.\n\nAppalled, a group of Florida special interests pooled their resources to neutralize the governor politically, bribing majorities in the state cabinet and the legislature (including lieutenant governor D.T. Maltby) to ignore or reject all of his initiatives. On the same day that the crooked developers who had tried to bribe Tyree were convicted, but punished with nothing more than probation, the Florida Cabinet voted unanimously (except for Tyree) to sell the original wildlife preserve that they'd been after to another developer for a pittance. This proved to be the straw that broke the camel's back; the next morning, Tyree walked out of the Governor's mansion and vanished. At first, Tyree was believed kidnapped, and a statewide manhunt was conducted. It was soon suspended when a resignation letter arrived in Tallahassee and Tyree's signature was authenticated by the FBI.\n\nYears later, the executive assistant to the current governor reviews Tyree's history, and marvels at the futility of his struggle:\n\nAs popular as Clinton Tyree had been with the common folk of Florida, he stood no chance – none whatsoever – of disabling the machinery of greed and converting the legislature into a body of foresight and honest ethics. It was boggling to think a sane person would even try.\n\nAfter leaving Tallahassee, he became a wild hermit, living first in Harney County (a fictional Florida county), where he adopted the name \"Skink,\" and was simply viewed as an eccentric, albeit a potentially violent one. Since Double Whammy, Skink has moved south to Monroe County and mainly resides inside Crocodile Lake National Wildlife Refuge on Key Largo, Florida, rarely travelling beyond.\n\nOver the years, he had made infrequent appearances all over South Florida, becoming something of an urban legend.\n\nPersonal habits\nIn the first book in which he appears (Double Whammy), Skink lives in a tumbledown shack in fictional Harney County, and occasionally hires his services as a bass fishing guide. He survives mostly on roadkill cuisine, but sometimes fresh fish. In the later books, he has become more of a nomad, camping rough in the wilds throughout Southeast Florida, often close to the Everglades.\n\nWherever he goes, he travels with an immense library of first-edition books, stored at various times in his shack, in antique steamer trunks, or in old junker cars parked near his camps.\n\nHe listens exclusively to music from the 1960s and 70s: the Who, the Beatles, the Allman Brothers, the Rolling Stones, Buffalo Springfield, Creedence Clearwater Revival, the Eagles, Moody Blues, etc. In Stormy Weather, he sings \"Box of Rain\" by the Grateful Dead to a small child scared after a recent hurricane.\n\nThough he is seventy-two years old (as of No Surrender), he has exceptionally white and perfectly aligned teeth, is exceptionally tall, strong, and fit, and is an experienced hunter, woodsman, and fighter. He often has access to guns of various kinds.\n\nThough he's adopted the name \"Skink,\" he usually insists on being addressed as \"Captain.\" In Star Island, he explains that this was his rank in the U.S. Army during Vietnam.\n\nHe occasionally ingests naturally derived hallucinogens, such as smoking homemade bufotenin joints. By the time of Squeeze Me, he confesses he ingests \"microdoses\" of LSD every other day.\n\nAppearance\nSkink is (according to Double Whammy) six foot six inches tall, and proportionately broad. His skin is tanned dark brown from years spent outdoors. His eyes were originally green, but he lost one in a beating from a trio of teenage thugs. He replaced the lost eye with a glass eye taken from a stuffed barn owl, giving the appearance of heterochromia. The fake eye is crimson, and much larger than his normal one. Skink's hair is silver (though by the time of Sick Puppy he has gone bald on the top of his head), and he wears it long, along with an equally long beard, which he sometimes braids and accentuates with buzzards' beaks or other trinkets.\n\nTyree's clothes are a peculiar mix of the practical and the bizarre. At various times he wears a bright orange rain poncho (to keep from being hit on the highway while scooping up roadkills), a bright flowered shower cap, dungarees, military boots, a Rolling Stones t-shirt, and at one time a kilt made from a checkered racing flag.\n\nHis teeth are startlingly perfect, straight and white, and his smile is a trademark he retains from his election days (which often contrasts jarringly with the rest of his appearance).\n\nDespite his age, lifestyle, and wild appearance, many of the female characters who run across him are strongly attracted to him.\n\nFamily and friends\nSkink's best friend is Jim Tile, an African-American Florida Highway Patrol trooper whom Tyree met in the 1970s while on the campaign trail, and appointed to be the head of his gubernatorial bodyguard. Tile was Tyree's driver when Tyree fled Tallahassee and was dropped off at a Greyhound station in Orlando. Since that day, Tile has been the only person aware of Tyree's approximate whereabouts. In books where Skink appears, Tile usually appears too. He makes it a personal priority to stay around his old boss and vouch for his character on the rare occasions when Tyree needs a helping hand.\n\nIt is revealed in Sick Puppy that Clinton had an older brother, Doyle. The two brothers went to Vietnam together. Doyle was discharged after a drunken joyride in a jeep led to a crash that killed his sergeant and inflicted serious head injuries on Doyle. The injuries, combined with guilt over the crash, led Doyle to suffer a nervous breakdown. After returning to the U.S., he left home and disappeared, becoming a homeless wanderer. When Clinton became governor, he tracked his brother down and gave him a job and home as the keeper of the (fictional) Peregrine Bay Lighthouse near Hobe Sound. In No Surrender, Tile confides that Clinton \"came into some money\" a few years before the events of the novel, implying that Doyle had died and left his unspent state earnings to his younger brother.\n\nAlso in Sick Puppy, Skink strikes up a friendship with the protagonist, Twilly Spree, a passionate young environmentalist with similar ideals. It is suggested that the two remain in touch after the events of the novel; in Skink's brief appearance in Skinny Dip he contacts and is met by an \"intense young man\" who is implied to be Spree.\n\nBooks with Clinton Tyree\n Double Whammy\n Native Tongue\n Stormy Weather\n Sick Puppy\n Skinny Dip\n Star Island\n Skink - No Surrender\n Squeeze Me\n\nSkink had appeared in all of Hiaasen's even-numbered novels for adults, beginning with Double Whammy (number 2) and ending with Star Island (number 12). This streak was broken by Hiaasen's 14th novel, Razor Girl, in which Skink does not appear. Skink's next appearance following Star Island was in Skink - No Surrender, a novel for young readers, and he subsequently appeared in Squeeze Me, Hiaasen's fifteenth novel for adults.\n\nSkink is also referenced in the Jimmy Buffett song \"The Ballad of Skip Wiley,\" describing him as an associate of that character (from Hiaasen's first novel, Tourist Season). In fact, Skink does not appear in Tourist Season, and Wiley does not appear in any novel besides Tourist Season, so there is no evidence that the two know each other, despite their similar political views.\n\nReferences \n\nLiterary characters introduced in 1987\nFictional characters from Florida\nFictional characters with heterochromia\nCharacters in American novels of the 20th century\nFictional state governors of the United States"

"Day Shift is a 2022 American action comedy film directed by J. J. Perry in his directorial debut, written by Tyler Tice and Shay Hatten from a story by Tice, and starring Jamie Foxx as a blue-collar father whose pool-cleaning job is a front for his work as a vampire hunter. The film also stars Dave Franco, Snoop Dogg, Natasha Liu Bordizzo, Meagan Good, Karla Souza, Steve Howey, and Scott Adkins.\n\nNetflix released Day Shift on its streaming service on August 12, 2022. The film received mixed reviews from critics.\n\nPlot \n\nBud Jablonski is a blue-collar dad who provides for his family apparently working as a pool cleaner. His real job is hunting and killing vampires.\n\nWhile at work Bud sees a man leaving the house where he's working. He silently breaks into the house where he encounters two vampires, an elderly woman and a younger man, who lives there. Following a lengthy fight, he kills the vampires and pulls out their fangs with pliers. Bud tries to sell the fangs at a pawn shop, but the prices that Troy, the owner, offers are not enough to help him with his money troubles. Bud's ex-wife Jocelyn is planning to move to Florida with their daughter, who attends a private school with high fees. In order to pay the tuition, cover his debts, and buy his daughter braces, Bud is forced to return to the vampire hunting union.\n\nBud enlists his old army friend, \"Big\" John Elliot, to help him rejoin the union. The union boss, Ralph Seeger, initially refuses, due to Bud's history of multiple code violations. He eventually is given a final chance but must work under strict conditions: He must only work the day shift, which does not pay well, and must be supervised by a union rep named Seth. Seth is tasked to look for, and report, any violations committed by Bud. Meanwhile, a vampire named Audrey finds the vampires that Bud killed. While searching for the man who killed the older of the two vampires, Audrey finds, tortures, and interrogates Troy. Before she kills him, she reveals that humans used to worship vampires as gods and plans to restore the old order by building homes and using them to establish vampire colonies so she can build an army.\n\nBud and Seth go hunting, and although Bud violates several union protocols, Seth does not report them after learning of Bud's aim to support his family with his earnings. After they find and destroy an unusual nest filled with several varieties of vampires, Audrey contacts Bud and threatens his family, revealing that the elderly vampire was her daughter. Bud rushes to his ex-wife to save her while being pursued by vampires but fails to get there in time. His family is taken hostage by Audrey, and Seth is turned into a vampire. Now set on rescuing his family, Bud and Seth recruit Bud's neighbor, an outcast vampire named Heather, to help them assault Audrey's stronghold.\n\nAt the stronghold, they are joined by Big John. During the fight, John gets bitten and chooses to sacrifice himself so that Bud can save his family. Bud is no match for Audrey's superior speed and physical strength, but through a clever trick, he gains the upper hand, kills her, and saves his family. When Seeger arrives with backup from the union and tries to use Bud's numerous violations to kick him out, Seth uses his extensive knowledge of loopholes in the union's rules to prevent him from doing so. As the Jablonski family drives away, Big John climbs out of a manhole in the street showing that he survived the explosion.\n\nCast\n\nProduction\nDay Shift is the directorial debut of second-unit director J.

The critical consensus reads, \"Game stars and an appealingly goofy premise aren't enough to make up for Day Shift uninspired action-comedy hijinks.\" Metacritic gave the film a weighted average score of 51 out of 100, based on 33 critics, indicating \"mixed or average reviews\".\n\nMichael Ordoña of the Los Angeles Times called the film a \"damned delight\" and said: \"One would be tempted to call it the best horror comedy of 2022 so far, but it mixes so many genres it's more like 2022's best horror-buddy-cop-cartel-drama-bounty-hunter-martial-arts-action comedy (so far).\" Lovia Gyarkye of The Hollywood Reporter called it \"a rambunctious, strange and occasionally humorous action-thriller-comedy\".\n\nOwen Gleiberman of Variety found the film agreeable at first but \"until it starts to be just convoluted enough to give you a headache, especially when the rules are applied as inconsistently as they are here\". Peter Travers of ABC News wrote: \"A slumming Jamie Foxx is cool to the max as a vampire hunter gunning down bloodsuckers in sunny LA.

"Idiocracy is a 2006 American science fiction comedy film directed by Mike Judge and co-written by Judge and Etan Cohen. The plot follows U.S. Army librarian Joe Bauers, who wakes up five hundred years in the future after a botched government hibernation experiment to find himself in a dystopian society run by corporations, where evolution has made humanity stupid because people no longer had to be intelligent and physically fit to survive due to the benefits of technology. The cast includes Luke Wilson, Maya Rudolph, Dax Shepard, Terry Crews, David Herman, Justin Long, Andrew Wilson, and Brad Jordan.\n\nThe concept of Idiocracy dates back to a concept Judge envisioned in 1996. Judge finished the script for 3001 in 2001, rewriting the film a year later. Filming took place throughout 2004 at Austin Studios and other cities in Texas. Idiocracy serves as a social satire that touches on issues including anti-intellectualism, capitalism, commercialism, consumerism, corporatocracy, dysgenics, and overpopulation. 20th Century Fox was hesitant to promote the film, refusing to grant it a wide release and did not screen the film for critics. The decision not to market Idiocracy was seen as unexpected, following the success of Office Space (1999), and led to speculation. According to Crews, the film's satirical depiction of corporations made the film financially unviable, while Judge attributed 20th Century Fox's decision to negative test screenings; Judge stated that 20th Century Fox believed that the film would develop a cult following through its DVD release, similar to Office Space.\n\nThe film was released in the United States on September 1, 2006. It was not screened for critics, and the distributor, 20th Century Fox, was accused of abandoning it. Despite its lack of a major theatrical release, which resulted in a mere $495,000 gross at the box office, the film received positive reviews from critics and has since become a cult film.\n\nPlot\n\nIn 2005, U.S. Army librarian Joe Bauers is selected for a government hibernation experiment as the \"most average individual\" in the entire military. Lacking a suitable female candidate, the military hires prostitute Rita by paying off her pimp, Upgrayedd. When the officer in charge is arrested for running his own prostitution ring under Upgrayedd's tutelage, the experiment is hushed up, but by then both Bauers and Rita have already been frozen. Over the next several hundred years, societal expectations and technological advances lead the most intelligent humans to go childless, while the least intelligent reproduce indiscriminately and create increasingly more stupid generations.\n\nFive hundred years later, Bauers and Rita's hibernation chambers, now part of a giant pile of garbage, are unearthed in an avalanche. Bauers crashes into the apartment of Frito Pendejo. He wanders around what was once Washington, D.C., and finds a population that has become profoundly anti-intellectual, speaking only low registers of English and wallowing in overconsumption and low-brow pop culture. Despite advances in technology, innovations are driven by garish commercialism or extreme simplicity. Believing that he is hallucinating after a year of hibernation, Bauers enters a hospital and realizes the truth. Arrested for not having a bar code tattoo to pay for his doctor's appointment, he is sent to prison after the grossly incompetent Pendejo acts as his lawyer.\n\nRita resumes her job as a prostitute, but soon realizes that people have become so stupid that they will pay her if she only promises to sleep with them. Bauers is renamed \"Not Sure\" by a faulty speech-recognition tattooing machine, escapes from jail by telling the guards that he is meant to be released, and finds Pendejo, who reveals that there is a time machine that can travel back to 2005; Pendejo agrees to guide Bauers and Rita to the time machine after Bauers promises to make him rich via compound interest on a bank account he will open in Pendejo's name when he arrives in the past. The three venture through a gigantic Costco store, where Bauers is identified by a tattoo scanner and arrested.\n\nBauers is taken to the White House and is appointed Secretary of the Interior; as the IQ test he took in prison determined he is the smartest man in the world. President Camacho introduces Bauers to the cabinet and gives him the impossible job of fixing a nationwide food shortage, constant Dust Bowls, and a crippled economy within one week. Bauers discovers that the nation's crops are being watered with Brawndo, a sports drink produced by a company that also owns the FDA, FCC, and USDA. When he arranges for the irrigation system to be replaced with water, Brawndo's stock plummets, causing massive layoffs and riots without any visible improvement to the crops.\n\nBauers is sentenced to die in a monster truck demolition derby featuring undefeated \"rehabilitation officer\" Beef Supreme. However, Beef's grossly oversized truck is crushed when it rams into the building's support pillars while trying to enter the arena, and Bauers manages to defeat the other competitors. Rita and Pendejo discover that Bauers' reintroduction of water to the soil has allowed crops to grow, and they steal a TV camera from the arena to broadcast the sprouting crops on the stadium's Jumbotron, prompting Camacho to grant Bauers a presidential pardon. Bauers and Rita decide to stay in the future, and discover that the time machine was just an amusement ride. Following Camacho's term, Bauers is elected president and marries Rita, with whom he has the world's three smartest children. New vice-president Pendejo marries eight women and fathers 32 of the world's stupidest children.\n\nCast\n\n Luke Wilson as Corporal Joe Bauers, the \"most average individual\" in the present-day U.S. military\n Maya Rudolph as Rita, a street prostitute.\n Dax Shepard as Frito Pendejo, an average citizen of the future United States\n Terry Crews as Dwayne Elizondo Mountain Dew Herbert Camacho, the president of the future United States\n Andrew Wilson as Beef Supreme, a rehabilitation officer \n Brad \"Scarface\" Jordan as Upgrayedd: Rita's pimp\nOther cast members include David Herman as the Secretary of State, Justin Long as Doctor Lexus, Stephen Root as Judge Hector, Thomas Haden Church as Brawndo's CEO, and Sara Rue as the Attorney General, in an uncredited role.\n\nThemes\nThe idea of a dystopian society based on dysgenics can be traced back to the work of Sir Francis Galton. H. G. Wells' The Time Machine postulates a society of humans which has devolved due to lack of challenges, while the \"Epsilon-minus Semi-Morons\" of Aldous Huxley's Brave New World have been intentionally bred to provide a low-grade workforce; perhaps the best parallel is provided by the short story \"The Marching Morons\" by Cyril M. Kornbluth.\n\nProduction\nEarly working titles included The United States of Uhh-merica and 3001. Filming took place in 2004 on several stages at Austin Studios and in the Texas cities of Austin, San Marcos, Pflugerville, and Round Rock. Test screenings around March 2005 produced unofficial reports of poor audience reactions. After some re-shooting in the summer of 2005, a UK test screening in August produced a report of a positive impression.\n\nRelease\nIdiocracys original release date was August 5, 2005, according to Mike Judge. In April 2006, a release date was set for September 1, 2006. In August, numerous articles revealed that release was to be put on hold indefinitely. Idiocracy was released as scheduled but only in seven cities (Los Angeles, Atlanta, Toronto, Chicago, Dallas, Houston, and Mike Judge's hometown, Austin, Texas), and expanded to only 130 theaters, not the usual wide release of 600 or more theaters. According to the Austin American-Statesman, 20th Century Fox, the film's distributor, was entirely absent in promoting the feature; while posters were released to theaters, \"no movie trailers, no ads, and only two stills\", and no press kits were released.\n\nThe film was not screened for critics. Lack of concrete information from Fox led to speculation that the distributor may have actively tried to keep the film from being seen by a large audience, while fulfilling a contractual obligation for theatrical release ahead of a DVD release, according to Ryan Pearson of the AP. That speculation was followed by open criticism of the studio's lack of support from Ain't It Cool News, Time, and Esquire. Times Joel Stein wrote \"the film's ads and trailers tested atrociously\", but, \"still, abandoning Idiocracy seems particularly unjust, since Judge has made a lot of money for Fox.\"\n\nIn The New York Times, Dan Mitchell argued that Fox might be shying away from the cautionary tale about low-intelligence dysgenics because the company did not want to offend either its viewers or potential advertisers portrayed negatively in the film. This theory has been given extra weight by Terry Crews, who stars in the movie as President Camacho. In a 2018 interview with GQ Magazine, he talked of advertisers being unhappy at the way they were portrayed, which affected the studio's efforts to promote the movie. He said, \"The rumor was, because we used real corporations in our comedy (I mean, Starbucks was giving hand jobs) these companies gave us their name thinking they were gonna get 'pumped up', and then we're like, 'Welcome to Costco, we love you' [delivered in monotone]. All these real corporations were like, 'Wait a minute, wait a minute' [...] there were a lot of people trying to back out, but it was too late. And so Fox, who owned the movie, decided, 'We're going to release this in as few theaters as legally possible'. So it got a release in, probably, three theaters over one weekend and it was sucked out, into the vortex\".\n\nIn 2017, Judge told The New York Times that the film's lack of marketing and wide release was the result of negative test screenings. He added that Fox subsequently decided to not give the film a strong marketing push because the distributor believed it would develop a cult following through word-of-mouth and recoup its budget through home video sales, as Judge's previous film Office Space had.\n\nBox office\n\nBox office receipts totaled $444,093 in the U.S., with the widest release being 135 theaters.\n\nReception\nAlthough it was not screened in advance for critics, Idiocracy received positive reviews. On Rotten Tomatoes, the film has a score of 71%, with an average rating of 6.4/10, based on 52 reviews. The website's \"Critics Consensus\" for the film reads, \"Frustratingly uneven yet enjoyable overall, Idiocracy skewers society's devolution with an amiably goofy yet deceptively barbed wit.\" On Metacritic, the film has a score of 66 out of 100, based on reviews from 12 critics, indicating \"generally favorable reviews\".\n\nLos Angeles Times reviewer Carina Chocano described it as \"spot on\" satire and a \"pitch-black, bleakly hilarious vision of an American future\", although the \"plot, naturally, is silly and not exactly bound by logic. But it's Judge's gimlet-eyed knack for nightmarish extrapolation that makes Idiocracy a cathartic delight.\" In an Entertainment Weekly review only 87 words long, Joshua Rich gave the film an \"EW Grade\" of \"D\", stating that \"Mike Judge implores us to reflect on a future in which Britney and K-Fed are like the new Adam and Eve.\" The A.V. Clubs Nathan Rabin found Luke Wilson \"perfectly cast ... as a quintessential everyman\"; and wrote of the film \"Like so much superior science fiction, Idiocracy uses a fantastical future to comment on a present. ... There's a good chance that Judge's smartly lowbrow Idiocracy will be mistaken for what it's satirizing.\"\n\nThe film was also well received in other countries. John Patterson, critic for The Guardian, wrote, \"Idiocracy isn't a masterpiece—Fox seems to have stiffed Judge on money at every stage—but it's endlessly funny\", and of the film's popularity, described seeing the film \"in a half-empty house. Two days later, same place, same show—packed-out.\" Brazilian news magazine Veja called the film \"politically incorrect\", recommending that readers see the DVD and wrote \"the film went flying through [American] theaters and did not open in Brazil. Proof that the future contemplated by Judge is not that far away.\"\n\nCritic Alexandre Koball, of the Brazilian website CinePlayers.com, gave the movie a score of 5 out of 5. Another staff reviewer wrote, \"Idiocracy is not exactly ... funny nor ... innovative but it's a movie to make you think, even if for five minutes. And for that it manages to stay one level above the terrible average of comedy movies released in the last years in the United States.\"\n\nHome media\nIdiocracy was released on DVD on January 9, 2007. It has earned $9 million on DVD rentals, over 20 times its gross domestic box office revenue of under $450,000. In the UK, uncut versions of the film were shown on satellite channel Sky Comedy on February 26, 2009, with the Freeview premiere shown on Film4 on April 26, 2009.\n\nSpin-offs\nIn August 2012, Crews said he was in talks with director Judge and Fox over a possible Idiocracy spin-off featuring his President Camacho character, initially conceived as a web series. A week before the 2012 elections, he reprised the character in a series of short sketches for Funny or Die. Before the 2016 presidential election, Rolling Stone published an article stating that Judge and Cohen would produce Idiocracy-themed campaign ads opposing Donald Trump's presidential campaign if given permission from Fox to do so. Crews later told Business Insider that the ads would not go forward as planned, but that they would have featured Camacho wrestling in a cage match against the other candidates.\n\nLegacy\n\nDuring the 2016 Republican Party presidential primaries, the film's co-writer Etan Cohen and others expressed opinions that the film's predictions were converging on accuracy, a sentiment repeated by director Judge during the elections that year. At the time, Judge also compared Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump—who was later elected president—to the film's pro wrestler-turned-president Camacho. When asked about predicting the future, he quipped, \"I'm no prophet, I was off by 490 years.\"\n\nComparisons have been made between the film and Trump's presidency. An article for Collider pointed out the ways in which Trump's positions echoed the political decisions of the characters in the film in areas such as science, business, entertainment, environment, healthcare, law enforcement, and politics. Internet memes have spawned comparisons to Trump and characters in the film.\n\nSee also \n Kakistocracy\n \"The Marching Morons\"\n\nReferences\n\nExternal links\n\n \n \n \n \n\n2006 films\n2000s science fiction comedy films\nAmerican science fiction comedy films\nAmerican satirical films\n2000s English-language films\nFilms directed by Mike Judge\nFilms about suspended animation\nAmerican dystopian films\n2000s dystopian films\nFilms about fictional presidents of the United States\nFilms set in 2005\nFilms set in the 26th century\nFilms shot in Austin, Texas\n20th Century Fox films\nFilms about television\nFilms set in Washington, D.C.\nFilms set in the White House\nFilms with screenplays by Etan Cohen\nFilms with screenplays by Mike Judge\nFilms scored by Theodore Shapiro\n2006 comedy films\n2000s political comedy films\nFilms about intellectual disability\n2000s American films",
"Brandon Chrostowski is an American chef, restaurateur, and politician currently residing in Cleveland, Ohio. He is the founder, president, and chief executive officer of EDWINS Leadership and Restaurant Institute, a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization that acts as both a French restaurant and a culinary institute located in Cleveland's Shaker Square. It trains and is staffed largely by former prison inmates and was the subject of the 2017 Academy Award-nominated documentary short, Knife Skills. Chrostowski is also a certified sommelier and a fromager. He ran for Mayor of Cleveland in 2017.\n\nEarly life and education\nChrostowski was born and grew up in Detroit, Michigan. When he was 18, he was charged with resisting arrest after originally being suspected of a drug-related offense. A judge could have imposed a 10-year prison term but instead sentenced Chrostowski to one year of probation. Soon after this, he began working with Detroit chef, George Kalergis, who became his mentor. This led him to The Culinary Institute of America in New York where he earned an associate's degree in culinary arts and a bachelor's degree in business and restaurant management.\n\nCareer\n\n2000–2007: Early career in Chicago, Paris, and New York\nAfter finishing his studies, Chrostowski apprenticed under Charlie Trotter at his namesake restaurant (Charlie Trotter's) in Chicago. He then moved to France where he worked under Jean Bardet in Tours and Alain Senderens in Paris. For six months, he held a position at the entree chaud and patisserie station at Senderens' Paris restaurant, Lucas Carton. Around 2005, he returned to the United States, working as saucier at Terrance Brennan's Manhattan restaurant, Picholine. He also worked in the kitchens at Le Cirque and Chanterelle in Manhattan. He worked his way up to manager at the latter restaurant, which was owned by Karen and David Waltuck.\n\nIn 2007, Chrostowski incorporated the 501(c)(3) non-profit organization, EDWINS Leadership and Restaurant Institute. He had originally written a business plan for the organization in 2004 with the goal of offering professional culinary training, housing, clothing, counseling, and life-skills classes to current and former inmates. The name comes from Chrostowski's own middle name (Edwin), which he inherited from his grandfather. It is also shorthand for \"Education Wins.\" Chrostowski moved to Cleveland in around 2008. While there, he earned a job as a manager at the French brasserie, L'Albatros. He would later become the restaurant's sommelier, fromager, and general manager.\n\n2008–2016: Life in Cleveland and founding EDWINS\nWhile working at L'Albatros, Chrostowski began to raise money for his EDWINS venture via fundraisers and private donations. Initially, he developed an EDWINS program for currently imprisoned inmates at the Grafton Correctional Institution and the Northeast Pre-Release Center, which he began in 2011. In September 2012, Chrostowski publicly revealed his business plan in an effort to garner more donations. In March 2013 at a TED Talk in Cleveland, he gave a speech about the difficulties former inmates face after being released from prison. He also announced that he would resign from his position at L'Albatros to focus exclusively on EDWINS. In July 2013, he purchased a building in Cleveland's Shaker Square and began renovating it to accommodate the restaurant and training center. The restaurant opened in November 2013 and was staffed by around 55 former inmates at its outset. A total of about 80 students entered the initial class with about 35 \"graduating\" the six-month program.\n\nBy September 2015, the program had graduated 89 students. In November of that year, Chrostowski was listed on Crain's Cleveland Business \"Forty Under 40\" list. In March 2016, he was named one of 25 CNN Heroes for that year. In August 2016, the EDWINS Second Chance Life Skills Center—a campus composed of three buildings with dormitories, a library, a test kitchen, and fitness center—was completed. Chrostowski had acquired the buildings for the project in Cleveland's Buckeye neighborhood in July 2015. The center is reserved for current members and alumni of the EDWINS program. In January 2017, Chrostowski appeared on an episode of Steve Harvey where he was honored as one of \"Harvey's Heroes.\"\n\n2017–present: Mayoral run and restaurant expansion\nIn February 2017, Chrostowski announced his candidacy for the Mayor of Cleveland. To focus on his campaign, he took a leave of absence from EDWINS, appointing Tom Nobbe to temporarily fill his role. In the September primary election, Chrostowski finished fourth out of nine candidates, accruing 9.5% of the vote and losing to long-time incumbent, Frank G. Jackson. He returned to his position as President of EDWINS soon after the election.\n\nThat year, EDWINS was also the subject of the Thomas Lennon-directed documentary short, Knife Skills. Chrostowski had met Lennon at a dinner party held by his former Chanterelle bosses, Karen and David Waltuck, in September 2013. He later agreed to let Lennon film the run-up to the restaurant's launch. The film largely focuses on EDWINS' opening night in November 2013 along with Chrostowski and the restaurant's trainees. It was nominated for an Academy Award for Best Documentary Short Subject at the 90th Academy Awards. In January 2018, Chrostowski led a group of EDWINS trainees preparing a dinner of fine French cuisine at the James Beard House in Manhattan.\n\nIn March 2018, Chrostowski opened the Serenite Restaurant and Culinary Institute in Medina, Ohio. The restaurant operates similarly to EDWINS but has a focus on individuals recovering from drug and/or alcohol addictions. The center received a $300,000 grant from the state of Ohio to start the restaurant. Chrostowski has finished the EDWINS Butcher Shop and Cafe near the EDWINS Second Chance Life Skills Center. It opened in December 2018. Over the course of its existence, the EDWINS program has graduated over 350 former inmates, and EDWINS culinary classes are held in virtually all Ohio prisons. In July 2019 Chrostowski opened up an Italian eatery helping the homeless. In partnership with the West Side Catholic Center the social enterprise launched on July 19, 2019. Chrostowski has continued his pursuit of building the best culinary school for returning citizens by opening the EDWINS Bakery on December 20, 2019. This fresh bakery and \"from scratch\" diner provides a deeper baking and pastry education to students and provides fresh baked goods that \"feed the soul\" of the nearby community. Because of the commitment that Chrostowski has for the community and excellence exhibited in culinary arts, he was recognized by the International Foodservice Manufacturers Association (IFMA) in March 2020 and named a recipient of the prestigious Silver Plate award. Continuing to expand opportunity within the community through food Chrostowski opened edwins too, a community incubator and restaurant in 2021. With an endless drive to serve those who are incarcerated Chrostowski expanded the EDWINS education inside of various prisons and jails nationwide via tablets. He is also delivering culinary education to children and at risk youths in high school. Because of the work Chrostowski pursues he has earned additional recognition in 2022 by having EDWINS named as one of fifty-two places for a changed world by the New York Times and received the James Beard award semi-finalist nomination for outstanding restaurateur in the United States. In 2023 Chrostowski opened yet another supportive service when he purchased abuilidng and turned it into a child care center for students as well as purchased an fourteen unit apartment building for families. All the amenities are helping support not just local students but students traveling from afar that have completed the EDWINS tablet program whil eincarcerated. As of 2023 there are over 90,000 users of this program. In 2023 he was recognized again by the James Beard Foundation receiving the finalist nomination for outstanding restaurateur in the United States.\n\nReferences\n\nExternal links\nEDWINS Leadership and Restaurant Institute\n\nYear of birth missing (living people)\nLiving people\nAmerican chefs\nAmerican male chefs\nPoliticians from Cleveland\nAmerican restaurateurs\nCulinary Institute of America alumni\nSommeliers",
"American Job is a 1996 independent film directed by Chris Smith. Shot in a satirical pseudo-documentary style, the film follows Randy, a young man living in a Midwestern US town, as he tries one mundane job after another, including monitoring a machine at a plastics factory, working as a clean-up person at a fast-food restaurant, cleaning motels, and becoming a telephone solicitor.\n\nInspiration\nThe film was directly inspired by the 1987 magazine \"American Job\" created by Randy Russell, which was a collection of job stories from low-wage workers around the United States.\n\nSynopsis\n\nAmerican Job is a narrative film about Randy Scott (Randy Russell), a youth caught in the dismal confusion of living and working in the world of minimum wage. The film follows Randy through a number of low-paying, menial jobs including fast food dishwasher, custodian, telemarketer, and factory worker. It highlights the sheer boredom of minimum wage work and is a slightly comical and occasionally depressing look at what life is like in the US minimum wage arena.\n\nProduction\nAmerican Job was filmed in 1995 in the midwestern United States for $14,000 (USD). It was director Chris Smith's first film.\n\nReception\nIn 1996, the film was part of a roving national exhibition as part of the Fuel Tour.

"Dodsworth is a satirical novel by American writer Sinclair Lewis, first published by Harcourt Brace & Company on March 14, 1929. Its subject, the differences between US and European intellect, manners, and morals, is one that frequently appears in the works of Henry James.\n\nPlot summary\nThe novel is set in the period between late 1925 and late 1927. Samuel ('Sam') Dodsworth is an ambitious and innovative automobile designer, who builds his fortunes in fictional Zenith, Winnemac. In addition to his success in the business world, he had also succeeded as a young man in winning the hand of Frances 'Fran' Voelker, a beautiful young socialite. While the novel provides the courtship as a backstory, the real story begins upon his retirement. Retiring at the age of fifty as a result of his selling of his successful automobile company (The Revelation Motor Company) to a far larger competitor, he sets out to do what he had always wanted to experience: a leisurely trip to Europe with his wife, with aspirations to visit some manufacturing plants looking for his next challenge. His forty-one-year-old wife, however, motivated by her own vanity and fear of lost youth, is dissatisfied with married life and small town Zenith, and wants to live in Europe permanently as an expatriate, not just visit for a few months. Passing up advancement in his recently sold company, Dodsworth leaves for Europe with Fran. Her motivations upon visiting Europe become quickly known.\n\nIn their extensive travels across Europe, they are soon caught up in vastly different lifestyles. Fran falls in with a crowd of frivolous socialites, while Sam plays more of an independent tourist. 'With his red Baedeker guide book in hand, he visits such well-known tourist attractions as Westminster Abbey, Notre Dame Cathedral, Sanssouci Palace, and the Piazza San Marco. But the historic sites that he sees prove to be far less significant than the American expatriates that he meets on his extensive journeys across Great Britain and continental Europe' He meets Edith Cortright, an expatriate American widow in Venice, who is everything his wife is not: self-assured, self-confident, unselfish and able to take care of herself. As Sam and Fran follow their own pursuits, their marriage is strained to the breaking point. Both are forced to choose between marriage and the new lifestyles they have pursued.\n\nThe novel includes detailed descriptions of Sam and Fran's tours across Europe. In the beginning, they leave their mid-Western hometown of Zenith, board a steam liner in New York and cross the Atlantic Ocean. Their first stop is England. They visit the sights in London and are invited by Major Clyde Lockert to join a weekend trip to the countryside. Later, after Lockert has made an indecent proposal to Fran, they depart for Paris, where she soon engages in a busy social life and he takes up sightseeing. When Sam decides to go back to America for his college reunion in New Haven, Fran spends the summer months on the lakes near Montreux and Stresa, where she has a romance with Arnold Israel. Once Sam has picked her up in Paris, they agree to continue their travels together, touring France, Italy, Spain, Austria, Hungary and Germany. Their marriage comes to an end when she falls in love with Kurt von Obersdorf in Berlin. Whereas she stays on with her new love, he criss-crosses Europe in an attempt to cope with his new situation. When Sam happens to run into Edith in Venice, she persuades him to accompany her on a visit to a village in the vicinity of Naples. Fran's fiancé calls off the marriage, and \nSam joins his former wife on her voyage back to New York. Three days later, he is back on the next ship to meet Edith in Paris.\n\nAdaptations\nThe novel was adapted for the stage in 1934 by Sidney Howard and filmed by producer Samuel Goldwyn in 1936 and directed by William Wyler. It starred Walter Huston, Ruth Chatterton and Mary Astor. A 1995 musical adaptation that was staged in Fort Worth, Texas with Hal Linden and Dee Hoty.\n\nAnalysis\nIn his analysis of the novel, Martin R. Ausmus has described Dodsworth as Lewis' \"most sympathetic yet most savage\", \"most real\" and \"truest picture of the middle class\" of America at the time. Michael Augspurger has noted the influence of the ideas of Thorstein Veblen in his analysis of the presence of ideas and ideology related to business in the novel.\n\nReferences\n\nExternal links\n \n\n1929 American novels\nAmerican novels adapted into films\nAmerican satirical novels\nHarcourt (publisher) books\nNovels set in the Midwestern United States\nAmerican novels adapted into plays\nNovels by Sinclair Lewis\nNovels set in Europe",

"Harold or \"Hal\" Ware (August 19, 1889 – August 14, 1935) was an American Marxist, regarded as one of the Communist Party's top experts on agriculture. He was employed by a federal New Deal agency in the 1930s. He is alleged to have been a Soviet spy and is understood to have founded the \"Ware Group,\" a covert group of operatives within the United States government aiding Soviet intelligence agents.\n\nBackground\n\nHarold Maskell Ware, best known by his nickname \"Hal,\" was born on August 19, 1889, in Woodstown, New Jersey, the fourth child of Ella Reeve Bloor and her husband, Lucien Bonaparte Ware. Two of Ware's three older siblings died in early childhood.\n\nHis mother, Ella Bloor, converted to socialism during 1894-1895, when the family lived in Philadelphia. She became a lifelong activist in the labor movement, an early member of the Social Democracy of America (organized by Victor L. Berger and Eugene V. Debs), and a founder of the Communist Party of America. Ware was raised in a politically radical household, as a \"Red Diaper Baby.\"\n\nWhen he was 15, a case of measles left Ware with what doctors believed to be an early case of tuberculosis. His divorced mother moved with him and two brothers to the country for a year, while the rest of the family lived with his father in Philadelphia and attended school there. While his mother went weekly to Wilmington to speak and organize literature sales (as Delaware state organizer for the Socialist Party), Ware lived a rural life. Although he would return to school in the big city the following year, his orientation towards the countryside was firmly established.\n\nFollowing his graduation from high school (circa 1907), Ware enrolled in a two-year course in agriculture at Pennsylvania State College, later Penn State University.\n\nCareer\n\nFollowing graduation, with financial help from his father he bought a grain and dairy farm near Arden, a small town near Philadelphia, where he learned farming firsthand. His brief experience as a working farmer made him almost a unique figure among pioneer members of the American Communist Party, a group almost exclusively composed of urban laborers, factory workers, or intellectuals (and mostly foreign-born).\n\nBefore WWI began, Ware had proven himself something of an agricultural innovator. Unable to afford equipment for his tractor, he welded together two harrows for horses. He adapted other horse-drawn gear for use in mechanized agriculture.\n\nAfter three years, Ware sold the farm and took a job in a shipyard as a draftsman, for which he had a natural faculty. This lasted until the end of the First World War, whose armistice in November 1918 ended the torrent of government funding directed toward the shipbuilding industry.\n\nCommunist Party\n\nAlthough not a delegate to its founding convention, Ware was a member of the Communist Labor Party of America (CLP) from the year of its origin, 1919, as were his mother and older sister, Helen. Ware and his family stayed with the CLP throughout its permutations, merging into the United Communist Party in 1920, into the Communist Party of America in 1921, and into the \"aboveground\" Workers Party of America in 1922, and eventually the Communist Party of the USA in 1929.\n\nAlmost immediately after the Party launched, federal and state authorities moved against the fledgling communist movement, forcing its adherents to make use of pseudonyms and to conduct their activities in secret. During the so-called \"underground period\" of the party, the agriculturally-oriented Ware used the pseudonym \"H.R. Harrow,\" publishing under that by-line in the communist press. (The pseudonym seems to have been a pun on his real given name, \"Harold.\")\n\nIn 1921, eager to study the plight of migrant farm workers firsthand with a view to organizing them for the Communist Party, Ware took a six-month trip around the United States, working harvests from the South to the Midwest, Northwest and then East again through the Upper Midwest. This experience, combined with his previous agricultural experience, cemented Ware's place as the Communist Party's leading agricultural expert.\n\nThat fall, in addition to articles he wrote for the \"underground\" and \"aboveground\" Communist press, Ware compiled an exhaustive survey of American agriculture, including maps showing distribution of types of farms, farm incomes, and so forth in different sections of the country. The research was transmitted to the Communist International in Moscow, where it was read and praised by Lenin himself.\n\nIn late 1921, Ware attended the founding convention in New York of the Workers Party of America. He was elected an alternate to the governing Central Executive Committee of that organization. Ware was not typically a member of the Communist Party's top committees; he preferred to work in the agricultural sector rather than to engage in factional party politics.\n\nSoviet collective farming\n\nWare helped come up with the idea of using funds raised by the Friends of Soviet Russia organization to construct a model collective farm in Soviet Russia. His farm would serve as a model to help to alleviate the great Russian famine through production of grain plus firsthand demonstration of modern agricultural technique. An appropriation of $75,000 was granted for the project, with Ware's half-brother, Carl Reeve, traveling around the U.S., showing a motion picture depicting horrific conditions in Russia to help raise funds. Funding in hand, Ware went to the J.I. Case Farm Implement Co. and brokered a deal for 24 tractors and related equipment.\n\nIn May 1922, Hal and Cris Ware left his three children in America for Soviet Russia along with their tractors, implements, a complete medical unit, and several tons of food supplies. Also making the voyage was a doctor who spoke Russian and a group of American farmers to operate the machinery. The group had been assigned land in the village of Toikino in Perm guberniia, a substantial distance from any centers of population. They taught local peasants the basics of machine operation and plowed of land. Shortages of fuel, hauled by peasant wagons some from the nearest train station, severely hampered their efforts. At season's end, the American crew left for Moscow, whence they went home to America with thanks.\n\nThe next year, Soviet authorities were eager to expand the Toikino experiment of 1922. The Soviet People's Commissariat of Agriculture offered a large tract of fertile land in the Kuban region, just north of the Black Sea for a second model farm. Working again with the Friends of Soviet Russia organization, Ware organized a party of 40 to make the trip, including agricultural specialists, a doctor, and a nurse. He arrived in Soviet Russia to inspect the land designated for the project, only to be told by Soviet officials that the deal was off because local peasants had begun to allocate the land among themselves. A hasty search commenced for yet another site, in the North Caucasus, but the project was delayed.\n\nWare spent most of 1925 raising funds for his Soviet farming venture. This farm was organized as a Russian-American joint venture, with Ware as its American Director and then director of the state farm for three years. The project took over four flour mills and profitably operated them; they began to electrify the countryside.\n\nDuring winter 1928-29, Ware returned to the United States, where he attempted to interest American agricultural equipment manufacturers in the Soviet market. He convinced some companies to send test tractors and implements along with mechanics to assemble them. He stayed in the Soviet through the collectivization campaign of 1929-30.\n\nReturn to America\n\nIn Spring 1931, Ware set out to organizing farmers and farm-workers in America. In the company of Lem Harris, another Communist Party agricultural expert, he made a year-long survey of American agriculture, echoing his research of 1921. The pair travelled by car around the United States, visiting nearly every state in the union, studying the sometimes desperate conditions which resulted from the collapse of agricultural prices associated with the Great Depression.\n\nShortly after completion of this task, Ware established a research center in Washington, DC called Farm Research, Inc. and recruited personnel to run it. The institute, funded by the Communist Party, published a newspaper called The Farmers National Weekly continuously throughout the Great Depression. Fellow Communist Party member Herbert Joseph Putz (Erik Bert) (1904-1981) edited the newspaper (1934-1936) (\"Farm Research\" received funding from the Robert Marshall Foundation, which also funded the Communist controlled news agency \"Federated Press.\")\nIn 1932, Ware was active in the Farmers Holiday Association on behalf of the Communist Party.\n\nSoviet espionage: Ware Group\n\nAllegations: Whittaker Chambers\n\nIn his 1952 memoir, Witness, former Communist Whittaker Chambers wrote that from the time of Ware's death to his defection from the Communist Party in April 1938, he had been a member of the \"Washington spy apparatus\" headed by Colonel Boris Bykov, a Russian military intelligence officer. Chambers wrote that in addition to the four members of the group (also identified by Lee Pressman under oath to Congress in 1950, though Pressman denied that the group engaged in espionage):\n\nThere must have been sixty or seventy others, though Pressman did not necessarily know them all; neither did I. All were dues-paying members of the Communist Party. Nearly all were employed in the United States Government, some in rather high positions, notably in the Department of Agriculture, the Department of Justice, the Department of the Interior, the National Labor Relations Board, the Agricultural Adjustment Administration, the Railroad Retirement Board, the National Research Project — and others.\n\nChambers further wrote that \"by 1938, the Soviet espionage apparatus in Washington had penetrated the US State Department, the US Treasury Department, the Bureau of Standards and the Aberdeen Proving Ground in Maryland. These individuals \"supplied the Soviet espionage apparatus with secret or confidential information, usually in the form of official United States Government documents for microfilming,\" Chambers stated.\n\nIn the 1930s, Hal Ware was employed by the federal government, working for the Agricultural Adjustment Administration (AAA), a New Deal agency which reported to the Secretary of Agriculture but was independent of the Department of Agriculture bureaucracy. According to Chambers, he also \"organized that Washington underground\" in which he was later to work. Introduced to him in the spring of 1934, Chambers described Ware at length:\n\n<blockquote>He was as American as ham and eggs and as indistinguishable as everybody else. He stood about five feet nine, a trim, middle-aging man in 1934, with a plain face, masked by a quiet earnestness of expression wholly reassuring to people whom quickness of mind makes uncomfortable. Nevertheless, his mind was extremely quick. ...\n\nHe might have been a progressive country agent or a professor of ecology at an agricultural college. And yet there was something unprofessorially jaunty about the flip of his hat brim and his springy stride. ... It is true that he liked to drive his car at breakneck speed almost as well as to talk about soils, tenant farmers and underground organization ...\n\nHarold Ware was a frustrated farmer. The soil was in his pores. Unlike most American Communists, who managed to pass from one big city to another without seeing anything in the intervening spaces, Ware was absorbed in the land and its problems. He held that, with the deepening of the agricultural crisis, and with the rapid mechanization of agriculture, the time had come for revolutionary organization among farmers.</p></blockquote>\n\nAccording to Chambers' testimony, when he came back from Soviet Russia in 1930, Ware carried with him $25,000 in US currency hidden in a money belt, funds from the Comintern for work among the farmers. It was with these funds that he had established Farm Research Inc. in Washington, DC. But his real mission was espionage, Chambers wrote:\n\nOnce the New Deal was in full swing, Hal Ware was like a man who has bought a farm sight unseen only to discover that the crops are all in and ready to harvest. All that he had to do was to hustle them into the barn. The barn in this case was the Communist Party. In the AAA, Hal found a bumper crop of incipient or registered Communists. On its legal staff were Lee Pressman, Alger Hiss and John Abt (later named by Elizabeth Bentley as one of her contacts). There was Charles Krivitsky, a former physicist at New York University, then or shortly after to be known as Charles Kramer (also, later on, one of Elizabeth Bentley's contacts). Abraham George Silverman (another of Elizabeth Bentley's future contacts) was sitting with a little cluster of communists over at the Railroad Retirement Board.\n\nOthers named by Chambers included Henry H. Collins, Jr., Laurence Duggan, Nathan Witt, Marion Bachrach, and Victor Perlo. Others subsequently mentioned in these ranks included John Herrmann, Nathaniel Weyl, Donald Hiss, and Harry Dexter White. According to Chambers, Ware was in close contact with and directly reported to J. Peters, \"the head of the underground section of the American Communist Party\":\n\n... By 1934, the Ware Group had developed into a tightly organized underground, managed by a directory of seven men. In time it included a number of secret sub-cells whose total membership I can only estimate — probably about seventy-five Communists. Sometimes they were visited officially by J. Peters who lectured them on Communist organization and Leninist theory and advised them on general policy and specific problems. For several of them were so placed in the New Deal agencies (notably Alger Hiss, Nathan Witt, John Abt and Lee Pressman) that they were in a position to influence policy at several levels.\n\nCorroboration from Ware Group members\n\n Lee Pressman: On August 28, 1950, Lee Pressman gave testimony against his former comrades, though denied that they engaged in espionage. He stated he had met Ware and that:\n\nIn my desire to see the destruction of Hitlerism and an improvement in economic conditions here at home, I joined a Communist group in Washington, D. C, about 1934. My participation in such group extended for about a year, to the best of my recollection.\n\nPressman also indicated that in at least one meeting of his group, perhaps two, he had met Soviet intelligence agent J. Peters. Pressman's 1950 testimony provided the first corroboration of Chambers' allegation that a Washington, D.C., Communist group around Ware existed, with federal officials Nathan Witt, John Abt and Charles Kramer named by Pressman as members of this party cell.\n Nathaniel Weyl: In 1952, Nathaniel Weyl testified before the U.S. Senate Internal Security Committee that he had been a member of the Ware group, and that Alger Hiss had attended meetings as well – the only eyewitness corroboration of Whittaker Chambers's testimony that Alger Hiss was a Communist and Ware Group member. Of his own Ware Group participation, Weyl said: \"I was one of its less enthusiastic members.\" Weyl described what could be interpreted as Ware's efforts to corral him into espionage and his own effort to extract himself from the group:\n\nWare wanted me to try to get into the Foreign Service and be attached to the staff of William Bullitt, our first Ambassador to the Soviet Union ... I didn't think there was anything illegal about membership in the Ware unit, but nevertheless it was duplicitous ... I told Hal Ware that the Moscow idea was out and that I wanted to leave Washington and resign from government. He said: absolutely not. I forced his hand by committing an appalling breach of security. I showed up at a cell meeting with the girl I was having an affair with, a young lady who was not a Communist Party member and who had known nothing about the group. Ware withdrew his objections and I resigned from AAA.\n\n John Abt: In his 1993 autobiography, * John Abt, later long-time attorney for the Communist Party, confirmed that the Ware Group had existed, that it was a secret Communist Party unit, and that Ware had recruited him and several of the others named by Chambers for the Party.\n Hope Hale Davis: In her 1994 memoir, Hope Hale Davis also admitted to membership in the Ware group: Davis confirmed that it was engaged in illegal activity.\n\nPersonal life and death\n\nWare married Margaret Stephens: in 1916, she died three weeks following birth of their second child, Nancy Stephens Ware.\n\nIn August 1917, Ware married his second wife, Clarissa \"Cris\" Smith. (The couple had two children, Robin and Nancy, before divorcing in the early 1920s.) Ware's second marriage seems to have ended upon their return to the States. Cris took a job in the National Office of the Workers Party as head of the Committee for Protection of Foreign-Born Workers. She was reported in the Communist Party press as having died of \"acute pancreatitis, a rare disease of one of the digestive organs of the stomach,\" rumored to be a cover story for a botched illegal abortion, on September 27, 1923. Benjamin Gitlow luridly wrote of a love triangle between Cris, Party national secretary C. E. Ruthenberg, and future secretary Jay Lovestone. Her death was \"a tragic end, for the last of Cris Ware's abortions proved fatal for her.\"\n\nWhile in Russia, Ware met Jessica Smith, working with the Quaker famine relief effort, the American Friends Service Committee. Back in New York City, the pair were married in January 1925 by Rev. Norman Thomas, soon to become a key political leader of the Socialist Party of America.\n\nOn August 9, 1935, Ware was critically injured in an automobile accident in the mountains near York Springs in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania when his car collided with a coal truck. He died the next Tuesday at the hospital in Harrisburg, never regaining consciousness after the crash.\n\nLegacy\n\nWare was memorialized with a chapter in the memoir written by his more famous mother, Ella Reeve Bloor, in 1940: As a boy he loved the outdoors, was full of restless, eager vitality and bold curiosity. He had a startlingly vivid imagination, and an urge and talent for organizing that continued and marked his whole life. More than ordinarily shy, he forgot his shyness when engaged in one of his organizing ventures, and a flow of colorful, stirring talk would come from him so persuasive that those who heard him were completely carried away. He grew slim and tall, and when we moved to Arden was captain of the baseball team and a leader in tennis and other games. He missed a lot of school because of his siege of tuberculosis, but he read a lot and was always able to make up two or three years of ordinary schooling in a few months of intensive study. His interest in socialism began as early as I can remember. Hal's interest in agriculture began early. He started raising truck in a small garden in Arden, and sold it around the countryside. His keen sense of beauty showed in the way he fixed up his boxes of vegetables to sell, arranging them artistically in green boxes. He first planned to study forestry. He used to tell me his dreams of a life in the open, alone on a hillside, a sea of green tree tops below him. While taking the entrance exams for Pennsylvania State College he found that the forestry course would take four years, while there was a fine two-year agricultural course. Beginning to feel, too, that he did not want to live away from people, but among them, he chose agriculture. His interest in economics and politics developed intensely at this time, and while at college he wrote me constantly for the latest news of the socialist movement. We were always very close to one another, and no matter how many months or years we were apart, we could always pick up where we had left off.\" \n\nAfter his death, attorney John Abt married Jessica Smith, Ware's widow. Ware left behind four children: Judith, David, Nancy, and Robin.\n\nHal Ware's half-brother, Carl Reeve, was also a lifelong activist in the Communist Party.\n\nWorks\n \"Our Agrarian Problem.\" Signed as \"H.R.

"An Excess Male is a 2017 Chinese-American dystopian fiction novel by Maggie Shen King, which follows the four-person perspective of members of a polyandrous blended family in an authoritarian communist future China. The book was listed as one of the \"best science fiction and fantasy books to read in September\" by The Washington Post, and received mixed to positive critical reviews, with critics noting the exploration of a staunch communist ideology in juxtaposition with individual liberty in the areas of LGBT rights, women's rights and rights for mentally disabled people.\n\nPlot\nAn Excess Male is set in a near-future China ruled under authoritarian communism. There is an ongoing war between the People's Liberation Party and the Chinese Communist Party, and due to China's earlier One-Child Policy, female citizens are scarce and in high demand. They are often matched or auctioned off for a dowry, and polyamory has been sanctioned by the State. Wei-guo, A 44-year-old Chinese man who runs a training centre, is aided by his two fathers in the pursuit of a suitable female partner. They meet the enigmatic Wu Family for dinner, a peculiar group consisting of Hanh (a closeted gay man and the family patriarch), his brother Xiong-Xin (an obese man with autism who insists on being called \"XX\"), and May-Ling, the 22-year-old matriarch, who has an infant toddler named \"BeiBei\". Wei-guo immediately feels a connection with May-Ling, but he is frustrated when, after a planned date, May-Ling brings the disobedient, badly-behaved BeiBei with her, but he feigns support and May-Ling forms an even stronger liking to him. She harbours secrets of the two brothers who married her: Hanh is \"Willfully Sterile\" and will be reeducated and sterilized if discovered to be gay, as homosexuality and asexuality are viewed with disdain by the State; XX is a \"Lost Boy\" (neurodiverse) and will be branded mentally ill and institutionalized if this is discovered, despite his successful career and computer programming skills. May-Ling is unhappy in this relationship, finding scheduled sex with XX unpleasant and awkward, and disappointed that Hanh never wants to touch her. She also worries privately that BeiBei might suffer from ADHD and that the child might be sterilized as part of the State's eugenics standards. May-Ling grew up from infancy to be married off for a dowry to the benefit of her parents, who were both gambling addicts, something that she recalls painfully after playing a romantic virtual reality game with XX. Hanh has a tenuous relationship with professional marriage broker Hero, a paunchy, overtly effeminate man who, knowing Hahn's secret sexuality, pushes Wei-guo to marry into the Wu Family.\n\nWei-guo investigates the family at the behest of his fathers, who suspect that Hanh is gay and that XX has autism. He meets Hanh's private sexual partners, a group of men who use badminton as a front for hooking up, and he befriends them and shows respect, questioning the State's prejudices towards gays. He is bothered by a repulsive male prostitute and local hustler named Jimmy. XX, who dreams of a simple life with the stray dogs he has adopted in the city, longs for a divorce and comes to regard Wei-guo as a true companion, hoping that he will marry May-Ling. Wei-guo invites him to a war game, a situation that ends up going very oddly when XX is mistaken for a wealthy Party official, but the train they're on is held up by teenage soldiers who insist that Wei-guo nominate a selection of innocent men in his troop for psychological evaluations (which will lead to forced institutionalization). This is the result of an earlier incident in which a group of perverted soldiers sexually harassed a 14-year-old girl and her brother beat them to death; it is hoped that psychological evaluations will weed out the chance of any further incidents. XX is able to rewire the train doors so that he and Wei-guo can escape. Wei-guo is invited to the Wu Family's house for a \"Compatibility Night\". May-Ling, meanwhile, discovers that Hanh has been awarded a coveted housing flat with numerous rooms, but that he neglected to tell her about it. Wei-guo visits the family to find them in chaos, with May-Ling crying and BeiBei refusing to clean up his toys. He and May-Ling have passionate sex that night when May-Ling wears a pretty emerald-green dress, but the next day, Wei-guo is met with disapproval from his fathers, who think he is marrying into a dysfunctional family. When XX applies for a divorce, he accidentally attracts State attention to his family. Hanh is harassed by Jimmy, who blackmails him with graphic sexual photos. Comrade Tang, a Party official, arrests Hanh and sends him to a \"Sexual Change\" facility, monitoring his conversations with implanted digital technology. He is forbidden to see BeiBei, is beaten badly in his abdominal area, and has to share a communal bathroom. Wei-guo witnesses the systematic killing of 200 soldiers as a response to his failure to nominate any of them for psychological evaluations, and he is branded the killer by the State. XX establishes sanctuary for him, and leaves his favourite dog, a butterscotch-coloured mutt named \"MaMa Dog\", to protect him. XX and May-Ling try to blackmail the State for Hanh's freedom, but even when he is set free, their family is still broken and Hanh is traumatized. The family members wonder if a day will come where they no longer have to hide who they are, leaving the future ambiguous.\n\nPublication\nAccording to Maggie Shen King, being interviewed by Cheryl Wassenaar of Fansided, An Excess Male went through multiple different draft titles, including \"One Wife Policy, No Country for Patriots, The Courtship of a Surplus Male, and a lot more\". King stated, \"we weren’t certain An Excess Male was the right one when we submitted the book, but I loved the unexpected and provocative use of the word ‘excess’ and the questions it raised\". King also wrote an accompanying short story about \"heihaizi or \"shadow\" or \"ghost children\", [who] are undocumented, illegal, and non-existent in the eyes of the law. They have no rights to health care, education, or legal protection. They cannot ride public transportation, marry, obtain or inherit property, or have children. The 2010 Census estimated the number of ‘nonpersons’ to be at least 13 million.\" She posted the short story, which was titled An Excess Male Companion Story, on her own personal website.\n\nReception\nAn Excess Male received mixed to positive reviews from critics. Kirkus Reviews said, \"told in alternating viewpoints, King's novel takes its cues from classic sci-fi dystopias, from The Handmaid’s Tale to Ender’s Game, to demonstrate the repressive control mechanisms already at work in everyday life. An intelligent, incisive commentary on how love survives - or doesn’t - under the heel of the State.\" Rachel Swirsky of Locus Magazine criticized the \"contested\" demographic data that Maggie Shen King claimed to have based her novel's concept on, comparing the idea of population issues to Soylent Green, but she praised the book's execution in general, stating, \"I was impressed by this book’s unusual engagement with complex political issues, its complex characters, and its largely elegant plot development. In An Excess Male, King has challenged herself with particularly difficult writing gymnastics. I’m not the right person to say whether she lands it perfectly, but it’s a beautifully executed aerial.\"\n\nShannon Liao, a journalist for The Verge, noted that An Excess Male explores important real-life issues in communist countries, stating, \"like ex-communist and communist countries Russia and Cuba, China currently has its fair share of homophobic policies, including censoring all queer content online. In King’s future China, queer folks have been designated as “Willfully Sterile,” which sounds relatively progressive until it's revealed that the designation means queer people are deemed unfit to be parents.\" Literary magazine The Quill to Live agreed, saying, \"King uses numerous lenses including lifestyles, sexual orientations, and even cultural views of developmental disorders to demonstrate that regardless of gender, nobody benefits from such a societal structure.\"\n\nSee also\n The Handmaid's Tale\n We The Living\n Soylent Green\n\nReferences\n\n2017 American novels\n2017 LGBT-related literary works\nDystopian novels\nChinese-American novels\nBooks critical of communism\nPolyamory in fiction\nBooks about autism\nLGBT themes in fiction\nNovels with gay themes\n2010s LGBT novels\nAmerican LGBT novels\nPolitical thriller novels\nAmerican science fiction novels\nMilitary science fiction novels\nScience fiction erotica\nLGBT speculative fiction novels",

"was a Japanese businessperson, author and poet, also known by the pen names and .\n\nBackground \nTsutsumi was the son of Yasujirō Tsutsumi, founder of the Seibu Railway company and a long-serving member, and eventually speaker, of Japan's House of Representatives.\n\nHe was born in Tokyo in 1927. During his childhood, he lived with his mother Misao and half-sister Kuniko. Misao wrote traditional Japanese poetry, which was Tsutsumi's initial introduction to writing. He later took up the practice himself, writing waka by his teen years; however, he would not publish any of his work until his late 20s.\n\nAfter receiving his degree in economics from the University of Tokyo in 1951, he re-enrolled as a literature student and worked as a secretary to his father. He joined the Seibu Department Stores in 1954. Following the death of his father in 1964, he led the spin-off of its logistics business to form the Saison Group, which eventually included the Seibu department stores, Seiyu supermarkets, Wave (a music shop), Parco (shopping complex), and the Muji and Loft variety store chains. He resigned as head of Saison in 1991 following the collapse of the Japanese asset price bubble, but continued as head of the Saison Cultural Foundation, which he founded in 1987.\n\nJust before the death of his father Tasujiro, his brother Yoshiaki Tsutsumi was nominated as his heir, potentially due to Seiji's brief involvement with the Japanese Communist Party after the World War Two.\n\nIn addition to his business career, he has also had a notable career as writer and poet under his pen name Takashi Tsujii, and served as Director of International PEN Club, Japan. His work has been translated into Arabic, Chinese, English, French, Korean, and Russian. Tsutsumi once described his writing career as an equalizer to his business ventures, and vice versa: \"I find that I can get rid of the business stress by writing. And I can avoid getting consumed by writing problems by being preoccupied with business.\"\n\nPersonal life\nWhile working as a political secretary to his father, Tsutsumi met Motoko Yamaguchi. The two married in 1955 and had a son, Kōji; however, the pair divorced around 1964. He later wed Asako Mizuno in Paris in 1968. Mizuno later gave birth to Tsutsumi's second son, Takao.\n\nDeath\nTsutsumi died of liver failure in Tokyo on November 25, 2013.\n\nPrizes \n 1994 Tanizaki Prize for Niji no misaki (Rainbow Cape, 虹の岬)\n 2004 Noma Literary Prize Chichi no shōzō (Portrait of My Father)\n 2012 Person of Cultural Merit\n\nEnglish translations \n A spring like any other : a novel, translated by Beth Cary.

"was a court noble, general and shōgun of the early Heian period of Japan. One of the most prominent characters in Japanese history was a warrior called Sakanouye Tamura Maro. He served as Dainagon, Minister of War and Ukon'e no Taisho (Major Captain of the Right Division of Inner Palace Guards). He held the kabane of Ōsukune and the court rank of Junior Second Rank and was awarded the Order of Second Class. He was the son of Sakanoue no Karitamaro.\n\nMilitary career\nServing Emperor Kanmu, Tamuramaro was appointed shōgun and given the task of conquering the Emishi (蝦夷征伐 Emishi Seibatsu), a people native to the north of Honshū, which he subjugated. Recent evidence suggests that a migration of Emishi from northern Honshū to Hokkaidō took place sometime between the seventh and eighth centuries, perhaps as a direct result of this policy that pre-dated Tamuramaro's appointment. However, many Emishi remained in the Tōhoku region as subjects of the expanding Japanese Empire and later established independent Fushu domains. After Emperor Kanmu's death, the general continued to serve Emperor Heizei and Emperor Saga as \n and . \nHe was the second person to be given the title of Sei-i Taishōgun (征夷大将軍). The first to receive this title was Ōtomo no Otomaro.\n \nIt is said that the famous Tanabata festivals and parades of Aomori Prefecture (also celebrated in the city of Sendai in Miyagi prefecture), which draw over 3 million people to the prefecture a year, were popularised in remembrance of Sakanoue no Tamuramaro's campaign to subdue the tribal societies then living in Tōhoku. These annual matsuri are called the Nebuta festival in Aomori City and Neputa Festival () in Hirosaki City. They feature a number of gigantic, specially-constructed, illuminated paper floats. These huge festival structures are colourfully painted with mythical figures, and teams of men carry them through the streets as crowds shout encouragement. Aomori's great nebuta lanterns are said to hark back to Tamuramaro's innovative strategy in that early ninth century campaign. According to legend, the taishogun is remembered for having ordered huge illuminated lanterns to be placed at the top of hills; and when the curious Emishi approached these bright lights to investigate, they were captured and subdued. Until the mid-1990s the prize awarded for the best float of the parades was called the Tamuramaro Prize. However, there is no historical record that Tamuramaro went farther north than Iwate Prefecture.\n\nTamuramaro's name is linked with payments for construction projects at Kiyomizu Temple (Kiyomizu-dera) in the late 8th century.\n\nDeath and memorial\nIn the year 811 (Kōnin 2, 3rd month), Tamuramaro died at age 54, to the great regret of Emperor Saga, who expressed his sense of loss by distributing large quantities of silk cloth, cotton cloth and rice in honour of his dead counsellor. His bow, arrows, quiver and sword were placed in his coffin by order of the Emperor.\n\nThe Tomb of Sakanoue no Tamuramaro is located in Kanshuji Higashikurisunocho, Yamashina Ward, Kyoto, Japan. He is not the samurai buried at Shōgun-zuka as that was a ceremonial statue of a warrior buried by Emperor Kanmu when he decided to move the capital to Heian-kyo, present day Kyoto.\n\nAncestry\nAccording to the Shoku Nihongi, an official historical record, the Sakanoue clan is descended from Emperor Ling of the Chinese Han dynasty. The Sakanoue clan's family tree shows that Tamuramaro is a 14th-generation descendant of Emperor Ling. \nOther research traces the origins of the Sakanoue clan from the Asian mainland, possibly through Baekje.\n\nHonours\nSenior second rank (May 27, 811; posthumous)\n\nSee also\n List of shōguns\n Tamura clan\n\nNotes\n\nReferences\n\n Bornoff, Nicholas.

"is a 1973 novel by Toyoko Yamasaki. It has been adapted into a film in 1974 and then three times as a television series in 1974, 2007, and 2021.\n\nPlot\nSet in the post-World War II climate of the 1960s in Kobe, the show explores the struggle for power within the powerful Manpyo family. The cornerstone of their empire is , controlled by the father of the clan, . Eldest son is the managing director of . The ambitious Teppei seeks to expand operations of his company, and goes to his father to see if he can secure a loan. But the Minister of Finance seeks the merger of smaller Japanese banks to fend off foreign competition. Daisuke must decide whether to protect his son's interest in manufacturing or to ensure the survival of the bank that he controls.\n\nThe series mostly revolves on the hidden secrets within the Manpyo family. A running theme throughout the show is Teppei's constant hunger for his father's approval. However, instead of being seen as a son, he is often seen as a threat by his own father. Throughout most of the series, they are competing as Daisuke refuses to help in Teppei's struggles.\n\nAt the end, we are shown why the characters act as they did. Teppei's mother was supposedly raped by his grandfather, therefore, making Daisuke unsure if Teppei was actually his, or Keisuke's (his father). Teppei's uncanny resemblance to Keisuke, and his blood type proves to Daisuke that he was, indeed, his half-brother. This causes the heartache that surrounds the Manpyo family.\n\nTeppei's company is not saved. As he finds out that he was not actually who he thought he was, he goes to the mountains where his family hunts. He makes a final call to his wife. The next morning, Teppei leaves a suicide note and shoots himself.\n\nWhen the Manpyo family learns about Teppei's death, his mother is distraught. His father however, seems placid and cold. A man then comes in and asks the parents to sign Teppei's death certificate. Daisuke notices that they had made a mistake in the certificate, he states that they had Teppei's blood type wrong. The man informs them that the blood test was wrong. This revelation drives Teppei's mother into a fit. Daisuke is weakened. The man he thought to be a product of his father's horrible actions, was in fact, his own son. He is even more remorseful when he reads Teppei's suicide letter. Finally, Teppei is given the acceptance that he so long craved for.\n\nTelevision production 1974\n\nCast\nSo Yamamura – Daisuke Manpyo\nMayumi Ogawa – Aiko Takasu / Narrator\nYoko Shimada – Tsugiko Manpyo\nYūzō Kayama – Teppei Manpyo\nYoshiko Kuga – Yasuko Manpyo\nRyūzō Hayashi – Ginpei Manpyo\nMasako Izumi – Fusako\nYukiko Kashiwagi – Sanae Manpyo\nIzumi Yamaguchi – Makiko Yasuda\nKei Satō – Ataru Mima\nUtako Mitsuya – Ichiko Mima\nShinya Owada – Yoshihiko Ichinose\nRyō Ikebe – Shoichi Mikumo\nShiho Fujimura – Shiho Mikumo\nMeichō Soganoya – Sentaro Watanuki\nKen Nishida – Kazuya Hosokawa\nKōji Kawamura – Ichiro Okawa\nMasao Shimizu as Miyamoto\nKazuya Oguri – the factory head Ichinose\nKenji Sugawara – Hideyuki Akutagawa\nKyōsuke Maki – Zenitaka\nHideaki Nagai – Ōkame\nAkihiko Hirata – Haruta\nKōichi Itō – the prime minister Sahashi\nIsao Yamagata – the finance minister Nagata\n\nFilm\n\nKarei-naru Ichizoku was released theatrically in Japan on 26 January 1974 where it was distributed by Toho.

"is a fictional character from the Rurouni Kenshin manga and anime series created by Nobuhiro Watsuki. In the English anime adaptations he is known as Sanosuke Sagara and nicknamed Sano. Watsuki, being a fan of the Shinsengumi, created Sanosuke by basing his name and characteristics on that of a real Shinsengumi member named Harada Sanosuke.\n\nSet during a fictional version of Japan in the pre-Meiji period, Sanosuke is a former member of the Sekihō Army. When the group is destroyed by the Meiji Government, he becomes a fighter-for-hire to calm his anger by fighting. During his introduction in the series, he encounters the wanderer Himura Kenshin, who easily defeats him and is able to convince him to stop his mercenary work and instead start protecting people. After that encounter, Sanosuke becomes Kenshin's best friend as well as his partner in most of their fights.\n\nSanosuke appears in the featured films of the series and in other media relating to the Rurouni Kenshin franchise, including a plethora of electronic games and original video animations (OVAs). Numerous anime and manga publications have commented on Sanosuke's character. Mania Entertainment praised his character development, noting that he becomes more trustworthy and reliable as the series progresses. SciFi.com referred to him as a \"video-game icon\", and noted how he is portrayed as a \"tragic figure\". Sanosuke has been popular with the Rurouni Kenshin reader base, placing second in every popularity poll. Merchandise based on Sanosuke has also been released, including key chains, and plush dolls.\n\nCreation and conception \n\nSanosuke was one of the last major figures of the series to be created. Watsuki created him to be Kenshin's best friend, who is willing to punch him when he is sad to make him \"wake up\" from his sadness. Although Sanosuke is a main character in the series, Watsuki felt that he could not write everything he wanted about him, and thought that making him the title character of a series would prove interesting.\n\nThe character is based on Shinsengumi member Harada Sanosuke. Watsuki describes Sanosuke's visual motif by referring to his design model, Lamp, the main character of Susumu Sendo and Takeshi Obata's Mashin Bōken Tan Lamp-Lamp. Watsuki, working as an assistant on Obata's manga, formed the character by doodling in sketchbooks, adding and subtracting elements from the proposed character \"with blessings from the original artist, of course.\" An elder Sanosuke was drafted by Watsuki to appear in the manga's finale but this idea was scrapped. In the manga's final story arc, the design was used for Sanosuke's father, Higashidani Kamishimoemon.\n\nIn July 2006, the Japanese publishers of Rurouni Kenshin released the kanzenban edition. In the fifth kanzenban, Watsuki redesigned the character of Sanosuke in a draft version. To emphasize his hate of the Meiji Government, Watsuki drew the Japanese kanji for on the back of Sanosuke's jacket in the original series, but on the kanzenban redesign, the tattoo is located inside his clothes. Unlike in the manga where Sanosuke uses an oversized zanbatō as a weapon, Watsuki gave him a more historically authentic zanbatō; a sword notably thinner and longer in design. He also gave him an armor-like cloth to make him look more as a warrior.\n\nThe fact that the CD book voice actors, especially Tomokazu Seki and Megumi Ogata, who portrayed Sanosuke and Kenshin in the CD books, respectively, did not get their corresponding roles in the anime disappointed Watsuki. Ueda, Sanosuke's voice actor in the Japanese anime, commented that voicing Sanosuke in the original video animations was very complicated because his character was notably older and he has not acted in the role for a long period. He also said that he would have liked to see more fights involving Sanosuke in the original video animations, but was happy to see that Sanosuke had matured as a character. Lex Lang, the voice actor of Sanosuke in the English adaptation of the anime, commented that his first impression of Sanosuke was as a fight-driven character motivated by anger, but as the story continued Sanosuke became friendly and more likable. Because his voice is noticeably different from Ueda's, Lang tries to create his own interpretation of Sanosuke's character. Lang has noted that the scene of the episode 22 of the anime, in which Sanosuke is afraid of a train because he believes it is a demon, was the most enjoyable scene for him to record; he added \"I recently saw it and had some big laughs.\"\n\nIn producing the English dub version of the series, Media Blasters chose Lex Lang as Sanosuke's voice actor. When writing Sanosuke's dialogue, Clark Cheng, the writer of the English dub script, noted that the character was smarter than he would have liked in the first few episodes, so Cheng tried slowly to change the character's dialogue to make Sanosuke seem less intelligent so he would be more similar to the equivalent in the Japanese version of the series.\n\nAppearances\n\nIn Rurouni Kenshin \nBorn February 1860 in Nagano, Sanosuke is a former member of the Sekihō Army. Having admired his captain Sagara Sōzō, he takes the family name Sagara from him. But when the revolutionary government encounters financial problems, it labels the Sekihō Army as frauds in order to \"bury their promises\". Sōzō is executed, leaving Sanosuke as one of the few survivors. Consumed with hatred for the Ishin Shishi, and guilt at not being able to protect his hero, Sanosuke becomes a fight merchant in Tokyo. Over the next ten years, he gains a reputation as one of the strongest hired fighters of the city. The destruction of the Sekihō Army and the loss of all his friends has caused Sanosuke to hate the Meiji Government and he wears the Japanese kanji for \"evil\" on the back of his jacket. He bears this symbol as a mark of his loyalty towards his past in the Sekihō Army. Sanosuke uses an enormous zanbatō in battle, giving him the moniker . The blade has no edge and Sanosuke only uses it to smash and crush his opponents.\n\nIn his introduction in the manga, Sanosuke is hired to fight Kenshin, but after the former assassin defeats him, he learns of the truth of Kenshin's no-kill approach and becomes one of his allies. After Kenshin defeats him and breaks his zanbatō, Sanosuke decides to focus on unarmed combat. When the criminal Shishio Makoto tries to conquer Japan, Sanosuke helps Kenshin in the fight against him. While on his trip to Kyoto to aid him, Sanosuke was trained in kenpo from a warrior monk named Yūkyūzan Anji. Anji taught Sanosuke a secret technique called . Futae no Kiwami is a special art in which the user performs two hits in quick succession with any part of his body. The first hit with the proximal interphalangeal joint neutralizes the hardness of the target, then the second blow, struck with the proximal phalanx, breaks the target before it recovers from the force of the first blow. Using his mastery from this art with his right hand allows him to defeat the third most powerful opponent in Shishio's army: Anji.\n\nMonths later, in an act of revenge on Kenshin, Yukishiro Enishi fakes Kamiya Kaoru's death. Kenshin loses the will to live and when Sanosuke is unable to reach him, he wanders away from Tokyo. In his wandering, he is reunited with his family in the Shinano Province (Shinshū). Years prior to the start of the series, Sanosuke left the family at the age of 9 to join the Sekihō Army. Although he does not reveal his identity to his family, upon learning of their poor situation Sanosuke attacks a former Ishin Shishi who was mistreating them and the town. During these fights, Sanosuke's right hand is permanently damaged from the overuse Futae no Kiwami. and overcomes this disability when he discovers using both hands in succession which lessens the impact to his damaged hand. After protecting his family, he returns to Tokyo to rescue Kaoru with his friends. After a successful rescue, Sanosuke leaves Japan and travels the world to avoid being arrested for attacking the Ishin Shishi. The manga ends with a letter from Sanosuke to his friends that he is returning to Japan to be reunited with them.\n\nIn other media \n\nIn the Rurouni Kenshin: The Motion Picture, Sanosuke helps to stop the samurai Takimi Shigure from overthrowing the Meiji Government as an act of revenge. In the original video animations of the series, he is given a more humanized design and a more emotional personality. In the non-canon Rurouni Kenshin: Reflection, an older Sanosuke discovers Kenshin gravely injured when he is traveling in Asia and sends Kenshin back to Tokyo by himself, contradicting his character development by his creator, Watsuki. Sanosuke is also a playable character in almost all the Rurouni Kenshin video games except Jump Super Stars and Jump Ultimate Stars, in which he isn't playable but is available as a Battle koma.\n\nIn Rurouni Kenshin: Restoration, Sanosuke is hired by Takeda Kanryu to kill Kenshin but he only wishes to fight Kenshin. After losing to Kenshin, Sanosuke agrees to help him with taking care of Kaoru's dojo.\n\nIn the live-action film series adapting Rurouni Kenshin, Sanosuke is portrayed by Munetaka Aoki.\n\nReception \nAmong the Rurouni Kenshin reader base Sanosuke has been popular, having ranked second in every Shonen Jump popularity poll of the series and also ranked fifth in the \"Kenshin's Biggest Rival\" poll featuring all of Kenshin's opponents. Merchandise based on Sanosuke has been released, including sweat bands, keychains, and plush dolls.\n\nSeveral anime and manga publications have provided both praise and criticism of Sanosuke's character. Anime News Network said that Sanosuke's first fight in the series against Kenshin was stereotypical for an action series due to the differences between Sanosuke's and Kenshin's personalities, and to the music used in the anime that gives the impression that Kenshin would win. In the Critical Survey of Graphic Novels: Manga, multiple writers acknowledged how both Sanosuke and Yahiko spend their time in the series searching for ways to become stronger. However, they do it for a heroic reason which is assisting Kenshin. SciFi.com commended him for being a good source of comic relief and described his appearance as a video-game icon. However, they commented he was a \"tragic figure whose goofy peccadilloes have solid reasons behind them\" due to being unable to avoid the destruction of the Sekihotai army and feeling guilty due to it. Mania Entertainment praised Sanosuke's character development and transformation from an enemy of Kenshin into one of his most stalwart friends. Chris Beveridge appreciated the fight scenes from Restoration due to how Sanosuke is presented stronger than in the original manga, making his duel with Kenshin more enjoyable. In the Samurai X: Reflection original video animation, Mike Crandol of Anime News Network referred to Sanosuke's revised design as \"pretty awkward\" since Crandol felt Sanosuke's original character design was \"perhaps being too cartoonish to translate well into this new style,\" with the \"new style\" being the \"decidedly more realistic look\" exhibited in all of the Samurai X original video animations.\n\nSanosuke's role in the live-action films has also been the subject of commentary by writers. Munetaka Aoki's acting was praised by Ko Ransom from Anime News Network, finding it faithful to the original character. Nick Creamer from the same site also noted how in the first live-action film, Sanosuke's characterization was identical to the original series as he is initially an enemy to Kenshin but later becomes his friend. On the other hand, Creamer criticized Sanosuke's portrayal in the second film as he stated that he \"tends to chew the scenery in his appearances\" to the point he found him less realistic. For the liveaction film Rurouni Kenshin: The Legend Ends, David West from Neo enjoyed Sanosuke's fight against Anji but felt it was too similar to his fight against the Christian priest from the first film.\n\nReferences\n\nExternal links \n\nAnime and manga characters with superhuman strength\nComics characters introduced in 1994\nFictional characters based on real people\nFictional Japanese people in anime and manga\nFictional male martial artists\nFictional mercenaries in comics\nFictional revolutionaries\nFictional swordfighters in anime and manga\nMale characters in anime and manga\nMartial artist characters in anime and manga\nRurouni Kenshin characters\nTeenage characters in anime and manga",
"is a popular character based on the historical Tōyama Kagemoto, a samurai and official of the Tokugawa shogunate during the Edo period of Japanese history.

He was said to have left home as a young man, and lived among the commoners, even having a tattoo of flowering sakura trees on his shoulder. This story developed into a legend of helping the common people.\n\nThe novelist Tatsurō Jinde (陣出達郎) wrote a series of books about Kin-san. Noted actor Chiezō Kataoka starred in a series of eighteen Toei jidaigeki films about him. Several Japanese television networks have aired series based on the character. These variously portrayed him pretending to be a petty hood or a yojinbō while solving crimes as the chief of police.\n\nPeople famous for having portrayed Kin-san on television include kabuki stars Nakamura Umenosuke IV and Ichikawa Danshirō, singers Yukio Hashi and Teruhiko Saigō, and actors Ryōtarō Sugi, Hideki Takahashi, Hiroki Matsukata, and Kōtarō Satomi.

He loves observing the stars and solving arithmetic problems and is often overly enthusiastic about them.\n\nOne day he goes to to see new sangaku where he meets a girl named En, who works there and later becomes his wife, after he completes his challenge for making a new calendar. En tells Santetsu about the man who answered the question on sangaku at first sight.\n\nOn that day, Santetsu and his Go rival Hon'inbō Dōsaku agree to have a real game, not a predetermined performance in front of the Shogun Tokugawa Ietsuna and their own Go master. Their game is interrupted by a solar eclipse which is considered as an indication that bad things will happen. Although these two get scolded by their masters since their Go performance is not what it is supposed to be, the Ietsuna finds the game interesting.\n\nIn those days, Japan used the Senmyō calendar introduced from China which showed discrepancy little by little. Then Hoshina Masayuki gave Santetsu the order to make a correct calendar by astronomical observations. The process of correcting the calendar has to be done by Imperial Court and this makes his challenge hard and troublesome.\n\nThe film chronicles Santetsu Yasui's life as a mathematician and inventor of the Jōkyō calendar. It is an adaptation of the novel Tenchi meisatsu by Tow Ubukata.\n\nReception\n\nThe film received mostly positive reviews.

", better known as , is a Japanese comedian represented by Office K. He is best known for appearing on the very controversial reality television show Susunu! Denpa Shōnen.\n\nDenpa Shōnen teki Kenshō Seikatsu \nHamatsu was challenged to stay alone, unclothed, in an apartment for Susunu! Denpa Shōnen (January 1998 – March 2002), a Japanese reality-television show on Nippon Television, after winning a lottery for a \"show business related job\". He was challenged to enter mail-in sweepstakes until he won ¥1 million (about $8,000) in total. He started with nothing (including no clothes), was cut off from outside communication and broadcasting, and had nothing to keep him company except the magazines he combed through for sweepstakes entry forms. After spending 335 days to reach his target, he set the Guinness world record for the \"longest time survived on competition winnings\".\n\nHamatsu lived in front of the camera, with only the possessions he won via the sweepstakes (save for basic utilities such as running water, heating and electricity), and the stacks of postcards and magazines required for entering the sweepstakes. Due to his nudity, an eggplant cartoon graphic covered his genitals when Hamatsu was standing on camera. Nasubi is the Japanese word for \"eggplant\"; the nickname was chosen due to his 30 cm long face that was said to be shaped like a Japanese eggplant, as well as the producers having to cover his genitals with an animated eggplant for the television audience. Hamatsu believed that he was being recorded and the show would be re-broadcast later once the footage had been gathered. In reality, the experiment was being live-streamed, with footage compiled and re-aired each week, complete with sound effects present at frequent intervals, using new tech to have 24/7 television to show him live using a joystick to cover up his genitals.\n\nAt first, he received no food at all, drinking only water and losing weight. Eventually, he won some sugary drinks from his sweepstakes entries. Later on, he won a bag of rice, but having not won any pots or containers with which to heat it, he was forced to eat it raw, and after devising a makeshift heating container with a discarded bag, he was able to cook the rice by placing it next to the lit stove. However, canned and kibble dog food became his primary food source for some time after running out of rice. After winning a stuffed toy in a sweepstake, he carried on conversations with it as his sensei, as it was his only sort of interaction. He never won clothing he could wear (only ladies' underwear that was too small for him to use), nor did he ever win anything to trim his growing facial hair and fingernails. He also won other prizes he was unable to use, like movie tickets and a bicycle (both of which would have required him to exit the apartment to utilize). However, he soon adapted the latter into a stationary bike. When he won a television set, he was unable to use it at first, as there was no cable or antenna hookup in the apartment (intentional by the producers out of fear he would discover he was already on TV). He would then win a PlayStation game, a copy of the train simulator title Densha de Go!, alongside the controller needed to play it.\n\nBy this time, the show had become so popular within Japanese households, that people were starting to decipher the location of his flat, with paparazzi, fans, and even the press standing outside without Hamatsu knowing it. As such, producers were forced to procure a new space far away from the original location. He was transported blindfolded, and upon uncovering his eyes, he discovered a similar living space, along with all his previously won possessions. When he questioned if he had completed the challenge, he was instead told the change of space was for his new address for \"renewed luck\". As such, he continued writing sweepstake entries, with a large chair and desk becoming his first items acquired in his new place he was kept. However, he was moved into yet another space after a long streak of misfortune in his entries. In this new space, his TV set became useful when he later won a VCR, which could be used with two previous tapes he had won, and would later win a proper PlayStation. He would end up playing his game for multiple days straight, ultimately forcing himself to stop in order to keep entering sweepstakes, collecting donations & achieve his objectives. \n\nAfter winning a set of 4 car tires worth around 84000¥, he closed upon his goal, which he finally achieved with a bag of rice, 335 days after starting. After being informed of his victory, he was given back his clothes, blindfolded and taken to a surprise location. Hamatsu happily went along believing he was going to get a special prize for his year of hard work. After they removed his blindfold, he found himself in South Korea. He was given a day at an amusement park, where he was able to enjoy Korean food and ride on the park's multiple attractions. However, after finishing, he was taken to another apartment. He was once again asked to take off his clothes and challenged to enter sweepstakes. Although the producers said that if he did not want to do it, he did not have to, he still agreed. This time to win enough money to afford a flight with Japan Airlines to return home. However, when Hamatsu quickly met this goal after several weeks of entering competitions, it was revised multiple times, first to afford a ticket in business class, then first class; these goals were also met in a matter of weeks. When he had won enough to return to Japan he was blindfolded, clothed and taken to another apartment in Japan. When the blindfold was removed, he looked around, and instinctively took his clothes off, expecting to continue the challenge. However, the walls of the apartment fell away to reveal that he was actually in a TV studio with a huge live audience. Hamatsu was confused by this because he thought the show had not yet been broadcast.\n\nThe entire ordeal lasted about 15 months, during which time his diaries on his experience of being locked away from the outside world became a best seller in Japan, and the TV show broke all records with 17 million viewers each Sunday night.\n\nHe reported being hot and sweaty wearing clothing for the first six months after his ordeal and had difficulty carrying on conversations for a long time.\n\nIn April 2020, Hamatsu tried persuading people to cooperate with the self-disciplined stay-at-home order during the wake of the initial COVID-19 outbreaks by citing his own personal experience with self-isolation.\n\nOther activities\nAfter the rigors he went through in order to become a famous comedian, Hamatsu was unable to succeed in the variety TV world. Instead, he became a local talent in his native Fukushima, as well as a dramatic stage actor, founding the stage troupe Eggplant Way, performing across Japan. He has appeared in Densha Otoko, Trick and Atashinchi no Danshi, and portrayed the character Watcherman in Kamen Rider W. He also appeared in the game 428: Shibuya Scramble.\n\nIn 2016, Hamatsu successfully scaled Mount Everest after three aborted attempts in 2013, 2014 and 2015.\n\nSee also\n Za Gaman, another popular Japanese game show that also focused on the suffering of contestants\n\nReferences\n\nExternal links\n \n \n \n Article about the show and Japanese culture\n Tomoaki Hamatsu (archived), Quirky Japan Homepage.\n An interview with Tomoaki Hamatsu, and the story of his experiences on Susunu!

"is a fictional character in the Bleach anime and manga created by Tite Kubo. He is the current captain of the 12th Division of the Gotei 13 and overseer of the Soul Reapers' Research and Development Institute.\n\nHistory \n110 years prior to the series, Mayuri was an inmate in the Maggots Nest, the only one dangerous enough to be chained behind bars for his utter lack of regard for life when it comes to experimentation. But that changed when Mayuri is visited by Kisuke Urahara and his lieutenant Hiyori Sarugaki, the former offering Mayuri a position in the SRDI. After initially refusing being Urahara's assistant, Mayuri accepts when Urahara points out that he be his successor should anything happen to him. Nine years after his release, Kisuke and Hiyori forced to leave the Soul Society, Mayuri becomes the new captain of Squad 12. As the result of the fifth experiment in his life-creating Nemuri Project while later taking the seventh surviving experiment, Nemu Kurotsuchi, to be his lieutenant and lab assistant while pretending to be uncaring towards her to hide his joy of creating a fully stable artificial life form. During this time, Mayuri experimented on Quincies, including Soken Ishida, the grandfather and trainer of Uryū Ishida.\n\nPlot overview \nWhen Ichigo and his allies entered the Soul Society, Mayuri aided in the search for the Ryoka and found Orihime Inoue and Uryū. Orihime escaped and Mayuri reluctantly fights Uryū, seeing no need to study Quincies any further. Uryu is initially too weak to fight Mayuri until the Soul Reaper revealed that he experimented on Soken Ishida which his opponent unlocking his full Quincy powers prior to escaping. Mayuri remained on the sidelines for the duration of the search out of disinterest, after he learns of Sosuke Aizen's betrayal.\n\nLater, Mayuri, Byakuya Kuchiki, Kenpachi Zaraki, Retsu Unohana and their subordinates head to Hueco Mundo. He saves Uryū and Renji Abarai from Szayel Aporro Granz, having an advantage against the Espada due to a bacterium he implanted in Uryū during their last fight that analyzed Szayelaporro's abilities. After defeating his controlled Zanpakuto while his opponent uses Nemu's body to reconstitute himself, Mayuri felt disappointed by the Arrancar's claims to have become a perfect being. As Szayelaporro's new body is paralyzed from exposure to one of the serums in Nemu's body dubbed the Superhuman Drug, Mayuri very slowly kills him while giving him a lecture on why scientists shouldn't claim or even want perfection. Soon after, Mayuri investigates Szayelaporro's laboratory to take what he can for his research before healing Uryū and Renji, followed by sending Ichigo Kurosaki and Unohana through the Garganta to the Fake Karakura Town. While explaining to Byakuya that he is more interested in seeing what specimens Hueco Mundo offers to him, Mayuri notes that he does have faith in Ichigo's ability to end the war. Once the fight against Aizen is settled, Mayuri attempts to seal off the Fake Karakura Town with their allies still inside but is stopped by his subordinates.\n\nAlmost a year later, Mayuri appears at a captain's meeting where he and Akon explain what they know about the Quincy group known as the Wandereich. Furthermore, Mayuri confirms that he ordered his squad to slaughter the 28,000 people in the Rukon to stabilize the Wandereich slaughtering Hollows while getting into a debate with Head Captain Yamamoto Genryusai over whose fault that such a deed needed to be carried out. Mayuri is further livid during the Wandereich's attack on the Soul Society when his fellow captains' lost their Bankai as a result of deciding to act on their own before he could completed his analysis on the enemy. Following the first invasion, meeting with Ichigo to discuss his broken Zangetsu, Mayuri locked himself away to continue his research on the Wandereich's Bankai stealing abilities with Urahara offering his assistance on the matter to develop a countermeasure to give the Soul Reaper captains who lost their Bankai an advantage. During the second Wandenreich invasion, Mayuri personally gets involved once interested in the abilities of Giselle Gewelle to turn living Soul Reapers into her zombie slaves while unveiling his own personal fighting team in the revived Arrancars Dordoni Alessandro Del Socaccio, Cirucci Sanderwicci, Luppi Antenor, and Charlotte Chuhlhourne. When Toshiro Hitsugaya appears as Giselle's zombie slave, Mayuri takes on the fellow Soul Reaper captain with the intent to test some of his serums on the youth. But by the time the zombified Rose, Kensei, and Rangiku arrive after Hitsugaya's defeat, Mayuri revealed that he devised a serum to alter the blood of the zombified Soul Reapers so they can only obey him. After having Giselle killed, while restoring Hitsugaya and Rangiku to normal, Mayuri takes Rose and Kensei to aid Byakuya in his fight against PePe Waccabrada.\n\nWhen Yhwach absorbed the Soul King's power, Mayuri and Kenpachi come across Pernida Parnkgjas in the transformed Royal Realm. After Pernida defeats Kenpachi, deeming the mysterious Wandenreich to be creepy for even him, Mayuri finds himself in a battle for his life after Perinda reveals himself to be the left arm of the Soul King. After his attempt to defeat Perinda with a variation of his Konjiki Ashisogi Jizō failed, realizing the arm is constantly evolving, Mayuri finds himself being protected by Nemu before she throws him over to a nearby building to watch her fight with the arm unfold. Though Nemu dies while having visions of being taunted by Szayelaporro, Mayuri saves his creation's brain from being eaten by Perinda so the Quincy would die an antagonizing death from her cellular makeup. In the series epilogue, Mayuri created a new Nemu.\n\nAbilities \nHis greatest ability is his scientific intellect. He's able to think many steps ahead of his opponents and has created numerous inventions to aid him in battle. He is also a master of Kido and has a very high level of Reiatsu.\n\nZanpakutō \nHis Zanpakutō is . When released with the command , Ashisogi Jizō's blade transforms into a deformed trident head. When it stabs an opponent, it emits a poison that severs the nerve signals that control limb movement, paralyzing that limb regardless of where it was struck. However, unlike normal paralysis, the affected area is still able to feel pain, something which is rather fitting for Mayuri's demented tendencies. Ashisogi Jizō's bankai, named , takes the form of a giant caterpillar with a baby's head and a silver halo. The creature breathes a poisonous derivative of Mayuri's blood which is lethal to anyone who breathes it, aside from himself and Nemu. It can also run through and skewer opponents with the multiple blades that erupt from its chest. Mayuri has physically modified his bankai so that it will self-destruct and return to its sealed state if it attacks him. It is also shown that Mayuri changes the poison he uses every time he shows his bankai. During his fight against Pernida, Mayuri reveals an alternate bankai called Konjiki Ashisogi Jizō: Makai Fukuin Shōtai, which is an enormous overweight infant-like creature that gives birth to a Konjiki Ashisogi Jizō specially designed to Mayuri's specifications against a certain opponent.\n\nAshisogi Jizo appears as a free Zanpakutō spirit in the Zanpakutō Unknown Tales anime arc as a small, baby-like creature with butterfly wings. As a final defensive measure, Mayuri can reduce himself to liquid form for three days by stabbing himself with his Zanpakutō. This leaves him unable to attack or be attacked, making it a very effective escape tool.\n\nOther media \nHe appears in almost every video games as a playable character and was in the first three Bleach films. In Bleach: The DiamondDust Rebellion, Byakuya, Jushiro Ukitake and Shunsui Kyoraku go to his lab to ask him if it's possible for people to have the same Zanpakuto. In Bleach: Fade to Black his lab is attacked and he is driven insane, with Nemu, the rest of Squad 12 and Kenpachi trying to get him under control before they're engulfed by a white liquid from one of the machines in his laboratory.\n\nReception \nMayuri ranked 28th place in the 3rd Popularity poll. His fight with Uryu was ranked 8th place in the Bleach Best Bout. His sword, Ashi Sogi Jizo was the 26th ranked zanpakuto in the 5th poll. \nMayuri has appeared in much merchandise including key chains, arm bands, and action figures.\n\nCarlo Santos of Anime News Network said that there was \"a certain amount of ridiculousness\" in watching Szayelapporo Granz and Mayuri try to get the upper hand on each other during their fight. However, he went on to say that Mayuri finishing the battle was a \"wonderfully jaw-dropping conclusion\" to Volume 34. D.F. Smith of IGN.com praised Terrence Stone's voice acting and noted that it's \"more than weird enough to match the character.\" Bryce Coulter characterized Mayuri as sinister, twisted and pragmatic. He also said that he was a creepy old man and an absolute freak, but an empirical scientist at heart.\n\nReferences \n\nAnime and manga characters who can move at superhuman speeds\nAnime and manga characters who use magic\nBleach characters\nComics characters introduced in 2003\nFictional biochemists\nFictional characters who can stretch themselves\nFictional characters with disfigurements\nFictional characters with energy-manipulation abilities\nFictional characters with extrasensory perception\nFictional characters with slowed ageing\nFictional child abusers\nFictional inventors\nFictional kenjutsuka\nFictional mad scientists\nFictional male martial artists\nFictional mass murderers\nFictional military captains\nFictional swordfighters in anime and manga\nFictional torturers\nMale characters in anime and manga\nMartial artist characters in anime and manga\nShapeshifter characters in comics",

"is the nickname of , a Japanese thief and folk hero who lived in Edo (present-day Tokyo) during the Edo period.\n\nHis exploits have been commemorated in kabuki theatre, folk songs, jidaigeki, and modern pop culture.\n\nCapture and tattoo\nIn 1822, he was caught and tattooed, and banished from Edo. On August 8, 1831, he was captured again, and confessed to the burglary of over 100 samurai estates and the impressive theft of over 30,000 ryō throughout his 15-year career. He was tied to a horse and paraded in public before being beheaded at the Suzugamori execution grounds. His head was then publicly displayed on a stake. He was buried at Ekō-in located in the Ryōgoku section of Tokyo. So many pilgrims have chipped away pieces of his tombstone for charms that his headstone has had to have been replaced a number of times since his death.\n\nBackground\nAt the time of the arrest, Jirokichi was found to have very little money. This, combined with the public humiliation he dealt out to the daimyō, resulted in the popular legend that he gave the money to the poor, turning the petty crook into a posthumous folk hero similar to Robin Hood. The fact that he died alone, serving his wives with divorce papers just prior to arrest in order to protect them from sharing in the punishment as the law decreed, further enhanced his stature.\n\nNickname\nJirokichi's nickname Nezumi Kozō roughly means \"Rat Kid\".\n\nThe word nezumi means \"rat\" or \"mouse\" and kozō translates to \"kid, brat\". The term kozō is a somewhat pejorative word for any young male.\n\n. In actuality, even though the nickname containing the term kozō was frequently applied to pickpockets, there are many other instances where it became the epithet of other types of criminals.\n\nMedia \n Nezumi, Edo wo hashiru: a Japanese television series relating the adventures of Nezumi Kozo, with Hideaki Takizawa in the main part.\n In the game Persona 5, the main character is shown wearing a t-shirt referencing the year of his birth and there is a pop quiz question related to his execution.\n In an episode of Lupin III Part 2, Nezumi Kozō's fourth descendant, named Rat Boy Jirokichi IV, teams up with Goemon Ishikawa XIII to pull off a heist in the Sakuradamon Police Station.\n\nSee also\nCriminal punishment in Edo-period Japan\nIshikawa Goemon\n\nExplanatory notes\n\nReferences \nCitations\n\nBibliography\n\nExternal links\n\n Robin Hoods of the World: Japan's Jirokichi the Rat from the BBC\n\n1831 deaths\n1797 births\nJapanese folklore\nJapanese thieves\n19th-century executions by Japan\nExecuted Japanese people\nPeople executed by Japan by decapitation\nNinja",

While the line is still headed by the Kunii family, the title of sōke is now largely honorific, and the responsibility for the preservation and transmission of the ryūha now lies in the shihanke line, currently represented by the 19th generation, Seki Humitake.\n\nHistory\nThe characters Kashima 鹿島 are in honor of the deity enshrined in the Kashima Shrine located in Kashima, Ibaraki Prefecture, who is supposed to have provided the divine inspiration (shin 神) for Kashima Shin-ryū. The earliest elements of the school are credited to Kashima no Tachi, fencing techniques passed down by the priests of the Kashima Shrine following their creation by Kuninazu no Mahito in the 7th century. In Kashima Shinryū lore, Matsumoto Bizen-no-kami, assisted by Kunii Kagetsugu, refined and expounded on Kashima no Tachi into the basis of the modern school. After this development, they went their separate ways. Kunii Kagetsugu began what is now named the sōke lineage (and is credited as the 1st generation of such), based in Iwaki province and handed down through the Kunii family line. Conversely, Matsumoto Bizen-no-kami taught a large number of students, creating a number of martial lineages, often with characters reading shinkage in the name. In 1780, the 12th generation sōke, Kunii Taizen Minamoto no Ritsuzan attained mastery in Jikishinkage-ryū, studying under Ono Seiemon Taira no Shigemasa. As Jikishinkage-ryū also traced its founding back to Matsumoto Bizen-no-kami, but passed down through Kamiizumi Ise-no-kami Fujiwara-no-Nobutsuna rather than the Kunii family, this lineage is recognized within Kashima Shinryū as the shihanke line, crediting Matsumoto Bizen-no-kami as the 1st generation. The sōke and shihanke lines remained united within the Kunii family until Kunii Zen'ya appointed Seki Humitake as his successor and the 19th generation shihanke while leaving his wife, Kunii Shizu, to carry on as the 19th generation sōke.\n\nDespite the similarity of names, Kashima Shinryū is of only passing relation to Kashima Shintō-ryū. While both schools regard Kashima no Tachi as a major antecedent, Kashima Shintō-ryū claims as founder Tsukahara Bokuden, who independently generated a different refinement on Kashima no Tachi than that of Matsumoto Bizen-no-Kami.\n\nRanks \n\nThe following licenses exist under the Kashima-Shinryū Federation of Martial Sciences:\n\nLocations \nKashima Shin-ryū can be studied in Japan (including Tokyo, Kyoto, and Tsukuba), and also in the United States (including Los Angeles, Athens, and Bozeman) and in Europe (including Breda, Dresden, Frankfurt, Helsinki, Ljubljana, Geneva, London, and Tampere).\n\nReferences\n\nExternal links\n Kashima-Shinryū Federation of Martial Sciences website\n\n15th-century establishments in Japan\nKo-ryū bujutsu\nJapanese martial arts\nJapanese swordsmanship",
"is a 1980 epic jidaigeki film directed by Akira Kurosawa. It is set in the Sengoku period of Japanese history and tells the story of a lower-class criminal who is taught to impersonate the dying daimyō Takeda Shingen to dissuade opposing lords from attacking the newly vulnerable clan. Kagemusha is the Japanese term for a political decoy, literally meaning \"shadow warrior\". The film ends with the climactic 1575 Battle of Nagashino.\n\nThe film won the Palme d'Or at the 1980 Cannes Film Festival (tied with All That Jazz). It was also nominated for the Academy Award for Best Foreign Language Film and received other honours. In 2009 the film was voted at No. 59 on the list of The Greatest Japanese Films of All Time by Japanese film magazine Kinema Junpo.\n\nPlot\nDuring the Sengoku period, in 1571, Takeda Shingen, daimyō of the Takeda clan, meets a thief his brother Nobukado spared from crucifixion due to the thief's uncanny resemblance to Shingen; the brothers agree that he would prove useful as a double, and they decide to use the thief as a kagemusha, a political decoy. Later, while the Takeda army lays siege to a castle belonging to Tokugawa Ieyasu, Shingen is shot while listening to a flute playing in the enemy camp. He then orders his forces to withdraw and commands his generals to keep his death a secret for three years before succumbing to his wound. Meanwhile, Shingen's rivals Oda Nobunaga, Tokugawa Ieyasu, and Uesugi Kenshin each contemplate the consequences of Shingen's withdrawal, unaware of his death.\n\nNobukado presents the thief to Shingen's generals, proposing to have him impersonate Shingen full-time. Although the thief is unaware of Shingen's death initially, he eventually finds Shingen's preserved corpse in a large jar, having believed it to contain treasure. The generals then decide they cannot trust the thief and release him. Later, the jar is dropped into Lake Suwa, which spies working for the Tokugawa and Oda forces witness. Suspecting that Shingen has died, the spies go to report their observation, but the thief, having overheard the spies, returns to the Takeda forces and offers to work as a kagemusha. The Takeda clan preserves the deception by announcing that they were simply making an offering of sake to the god of the lake, and the spies are ultimately convinced by the thief's performance.\n\nReturning home, the kagemusha successfully fools Shingen's retinue by imitating the late warlord's gestures and learning more about him. When the kagemusha must preside over a clan meeting, he is instructed by Nobukado to remain silent until Nobukado brings the generals to a consensus, whereupon the kagemusha will simply agree with the generals' plan and dismiss the council. However, Shingen's son Katsuyori is incensed by his father's decree of the three year subterfuge, which delays his inheritance and leadership of the clan. Katsuyori thus decides to test the kagemusha in front of the council, as the majority of the attendants are still unaware of Shingen's death. He directly asks the kagemusha what course of action should be taken, but the kagemusha is able to answer convincingly in Shingen's own manner, which further impresses the generals.\n\nSoon, in 1573, Nobunaga mobilizes his forces to attack Azai Nagamasa, continuing his campaign in central Honshu to maintain his control of Kyoto against the growing opposition. When the Tokugawa and Oda forces launch an attack against the Takeda, Katsuyori begins a counter-offensive against the advice of his generals. The kagemusha is then forced to lead reinforcements in the Battle of Takatenjin, and helps inspire the troops to victory. In a fit of overconfidence however, the kagemusha attempts to ride Shingen's notoriously temperamental horse, and falls off. When those who rush to help him see that he does not have Shingen's battle scars, he is revealed as an impostor, and is driven out in disgrace, allowing Katsuyori to take over the clan. Sensing weakness in the Takeda clan leadership, the Oda and Tokugawa forces are emboldened to begin a full-scale offensive into the Takeda homeland.\n\nBy 1575, now in full control of the Takeda army, Katsuyori leads a counter-offensive against Nobunaga in Nagashino. Although courageous in their assault, several waves of Takeda cavalry and infantry are cut down by volleys of gunfire from Oda arquebusiers deployed behind wooden stockades, effectively eliminating the Takeda army. The kagemusha, who has followed the Takeda army, desperately takes up a spear and charges toward the Oda lines before being shot himself. Mortally wounded, the kagemusha attempts to retrieve the fūrinkazan banner, which had fallen into a river, but succumbs to his wounds in the water where his body is carried away by the current.\n\nProduction\n\nGeorge Lucas and Francis Ford Coppola are credited at the end of the film as executive producers in the international version. This is because they persuaded 20th Century Fox to make up a shortfall in the film's budget when the original producers, Toho Studios, could not afford to complete the film. In return, 20th Century Fox received the international distribution rights to the film. Coppola and Kurosawa appeared together in Suntory whisky commercials to raise money for the production.\n\nKurosawa originally cast the actor Shintaro Katsu in the title role. Katsu left the production, however, before the first day of shooting was over; in an interview for the Criterion Collection DVD, executive producer Coppola states that Katsu angered Kurosawa by arriving with his own camera crew to record Kurosawa's filmmaking methods. It is unclear whether Katsu was fired or left of his own accord, but he was replaced by Tatsuya Nakadai, a well-known actor who had appeared in a number of Kurosawa's previous films. Nakadai played both the kagemusha and the lord whom he impersonated.\n\nKurosawa wrote a part in Kagemusha for his longtime regular actor Takashi Shimura, and Kagemusha was the last Kurosawa film in which Shimura appeared. However, the scene in which he plays a servant who accompanies a western doctor to a meeting with Shingen was cut from the foreign release of the film. The Criterion Collection DVD release of the film restored this scene as well as approximately another eighteen minutes in the film.\n\nAccording to Lucas, Kurosawa used 5,000 extras for the final battle sequence, filming for a whole day, then he cut it down to 90 seconds in the final release. Many special effects, and a number of scenes that filled holes in the story, landed on the \"cutting-room floor\".\n\nCast\n Tatsuya Nakadai as and the \n Tsutomu Yamazaki as , Shingen's younger brother.\n Kenichi Hagiwara as , Shingen's son and heir.\n Jinpachi Nezu as , chief bodyguard for Takeda Shingen and the Kagemusha.\n Hideji Ōtaki as , the Takeda's most experienced general.\n Daisuke Ryu as , one of Shingen's chief rival for control of Japan.\n Masayuki Yui as , Nobunaga's strongest ally.\n Kaori Momoi as , one of Shingen's concubines.\n Mitsuko Baisho as , another one of Shingen's concubines.\n Hideo Murota as , one of the chief generals in the Takeda Clan's army.\n Takayuki Shiho as , another important general in the Takeda Clan's army.\n Kōji Shimizu as \n Noburo Shimizu as \n Sen Yamamoto as \n Shuhei Sugimori as \n Takashi Shimura as \n Eiichi Kanakubo as , Shingen's other chief rival for control of Japan.\n Francis Selleck as Priest\n Jirō Yabuki as Equestrian\n Kamatari Fujiwara as Doctor\n\nRelease\nKagemusha was released theatrically in Japan on April 26, 1980, where it was distributed by Toho.

It was released on home video in the United States with a 180-minute running time in 2005.\n\nBox office\nKagemusha was the number one Japanese film on the domestic market in 1980, earning in distribution rental income. It earned within ten days of release at 217 Japanese theaters. The film grossed a total of () in Japanese box office gross receipts.\n\nOverseas, the film grossed in the United States (equivalent to over adjusted for inflation in 2021) from ticket sales.

This brings the film's total estimated worldwide gross revenue to approximately .\n\nAccolades\nKagemusha won numerous honours in Japan and abroad, marking the beginning of Kurosawa's most successful decade in international awards, the 1980s. At the 1980 Cannes Film Festival, Kagemusha shared the Palme d'Or with All That Jazz. At the 53rd Academy Awards, Kagemusha was nominated for Best Art Direction (Yoshirō Muraki) and Best Foreign Language Film.\n\nIn 2016, The Hollywood Reporter ranked the film 10th among 69 counted winners of the Palme d'Or to date, concluding \"Set against the wars of 16th-century Japan, Kurosawa's majestic samurai epic is still awe-inspiring, not only in its historical pageantry, but for imagery that communicates complex ideas about reality, belief and meaning.\"\n\nSee also\n List of submissions to the 53rd Academy Awards for Best Foreign Language Film\n List of Japanese submissions for the Academy Award for Best Foreign Language Film\n\nReferences\n\nBibliography\n\nExternal links\n\n \nKagemusha: From Painting to Film Pageantry an essay by Peter Grilli at the Criterion Collection\n Kagemusha at the Japanese Movie Database\n\n1980 films\n1980s historical films\n1980s war films\nJidaigeki films\n1980s Japanese-language films\nJapanese epic films\nSamurai films\nFilms directed by Akira Kurosawa\nToho films\n20th Century Fox films\nPalme d'Or winners\nBest Foreign Film César Award winners\nFilms set in 16th-century Sengoku period\nFilms with screenplays by Akira Kurosawa\nFilms produced by Tomoyuki Tanaka\nFilms whose director won the Best Direction BAFTA Award\nCultural depictions of Takeda Shingen\nCultural depictions of Oda Nobunaga\nFilms set in the 1570s\n1980 drama films\nJapanese war drama films\nFilms about lookalikes\nWar epic films\n1980s Japanese films",
"is a fictional character and the main protagonist of the manga series Jujutsu Kaisen created by Gege Akutami. Yuji is a first-year Jujutsu Sorcerer at Tokyo Jujutsu High who is thrown into the world of sorcery after he ate a Cursed Object: a finger belonging to Ryomen Sukuna, a powerful Cursed Spirit—a being manifested from Cursed Energy from the negative emotions flowing from humans. With his classmates, Yuji exorcises Curses while trying to honor his grandfather's legacy and save others unconditionally so that when he is executed after eating all twenty fingers, he will not be alone in his death.\n\nThroughout the series, Yuji and exceptional Cursed Techniques are developed as he faces down different Curses and the emotional blowback of his actions. Despite having only practiced using Cursed Energy for a few months, Yuji is tremendously powerful even without having become Sukuna's Vessel. Yuji believes strongly in the value of life and works to make sure everyone he meets, no matter how deep his connection to them may be, receives proper treatment.\n\nIn the anime adaptation of the manga, Yuji is voiced by Junya Enoki in Japanese and Adam McArthur in English. The character has been received positively by critics, with many praising his character development though some critics were divided if he is a proper unique shōnen protagonist.\n\nConcept \nYuji was created by Gege Akutami. His first name, Yuji, translates to \"abundant, help, and brave\" with the individual syllables translating as such: \"yu\" to slow or relaxing, while \"ji\" to \"caring for others.\" His family name, Itadori, comes from Japanese knotweed, or Fallopia japonica which is used in traditional medicine to take away pain which represents Yuji's caring interior. Akutami has stated if he were to identify Yuji's theme music it would be \"Heart ni Hi wo Tsukete\" by 9mm Parabellum Bullet and \"Itsuka Dokoka De\" by Kuchiroro, songs that combine heavy metal with chill jazz.\n\nThe idea of Yuji consuming Ryomen Sukuna and having to deal with the demon in the process was inspired by the main character from Masashi Kishimoto manga Naruto, Naruto Uzumaki, who deals with a Nine-Tailed Demon Fox known as Kurama ever since his birth. Yuji was written with the idea of losing several fights across the manga in order to learn from each defeat and become stronger in the aftermath. A major inspiration for Yuji's decision was the television series Breaking Bad. Following Yoshino's death, Akutami wanted to make the main character to become berserker but was unable to do it due to how he would defeat Mahito. Following this arc, Akutami wanted to give Yuji his own special technique but did not find it unique. In the next arc, Akutami took a liking to Yuji's and Choso's relationship and commented the ending of the arc was an homage to Tite Kubo's Bleach. His teamup with Kugisaki was Akutami's favorite battle in the series. Akutami wished for Yuji to be a more popular character, leading to a change of pace after several consecutive battles and be more involved in a chapter about love interests.\n\nYuji's appearance wearing a hoodie was, in Akutami's eyes, meant to symbolize his hesitancy and indecisiveness. According to Akutami, the end of Yuji's character arc has already been planned in advance with it set to finish within the next two years, though Sukuna's finale is up in air. He also debunked popular fan theories that Yuji's mother was Yuki Tsukumo.\n\nYuji has been described as \"being naïve, thoughtful, and adorable, all while being possessed by an ancient evil.\" The viscerally of his character mixed with his lighthearted traits are contrasted throughout his arc. As Akutami never intended for his series to be serialized, Jujutsu Kaisen 0 main protagonist Yuta Okkotsu was originally intended to be the main protagonist of the franchise. Similarities between the two characters include their introduction into the world of jujutsu, tragedy, naivety and having become faced with death. Despite their similarities, the two have been differentiated with notability given to how \"they carry themselves very differently...Itadori is outgoing, where Yuta is more reserved.\" In regards to his age, while Yuji is a teenager, early in the series he mentions he has been playing pachinko. Akutami was concerned about this scene as it would fit the young demography of the manga, shonen manga, but ultimately left this mention uncensored.\n\nCasting\n\nJunya Enoki is Yuji's Japanese actor. He relates having problems understanding the character believing Yuji to be a more complex character than those he associates in other works despite his apparently typical traits. He associated him with Megmumi Fushiguro due to the mysteries they share. Enoki had no problems deciding the appropriate pitch for Yuji, something he discussed with the director. The actor further addressed that Yuji is straightforward, and he also comes across as intelligent due to how he analyses fights. Despite seeing him an standard Shonen Jump protagonist, Enoki had fun voicing him, noting him to have several types of emotions he had to explore too.\n\nYuji Itadori is Adam McArthur's first work in anime, something he wanted to do ever since he was a child. He heard of the anime series from a friend and got help from one of his agents to audition for the role. The first episode's scene involving Yuji's grandfather's last words at death gave him an idea about how to portray the character. Since his grandfather wanted Yuji to help others, McArthur believed that Yuji is a teenager who likes helping people in need. McArthur used his experience of voice acting classes in the most serious scenes. The actor noted that is too kind to the point he finds him relatable. Following the dub of the series, McArthur look forward to his next work as Yuji.\n\nAppearances \nYuji first appears in Jujutsu Kaisen as an eccentric 15-year-old who lives with his grandfather Wasuke and is a member of his high school's Occult Club. On the day of his grandfather's death, Yuji is approached by first-year Jujutsu Sorcerer Megumi Fushiguro, who inquires about one of Sukuna's fingers that the occult club illicitly obtained. He comes to Megumi's rescue when a swarm of Cursed Spirits attack the school, attracted by the finger. Yuji ingests the finger. Jujutsu master and teacher at the Tokyo school Satoru Gojo tells Yuji that he is intended for execution, but it is delayed so that the world can be rid of Sukuna when Yuji eat all of Sukuna's fingers. Yuji moves into the school and is mentored in Jujutsu personally by Satoru. He quickly strikes up a friendship with his fellow first-years, Megumi and Nobara Kugisaki. He seemingly dies during an altercation with a \"Cursed Womb\" at a detention facility, wherein Sukuna blackmailed Yuji by holding his heart hostage.\n\nPresumed dead, Yuji continues to work with his sorcery, uncovering his massive Cursed Energy and using it for specialized cursed purposes. He strikes up a quick friendship with Junpei, which is derailed when he is killed by the Cursed Spirit Mahito. He also meets the 9 to 5 sorcerer and former salaryman Kento Nanami. After a fight that Mahito loses but escapes, Yuji swears revenge. At the exhibition between the Tokyo and Kyoto Jujutsu schools, Yuji reveals to the world he has survived. Some want him dead immediately, while others side with Gojo to keep him alive temporarily. He strikes up a quick brotherly relationship with Kyoto's third-year Aoi Todo. Alongside Todo, he and the other Jujutsu students and staff repel an invasion of the school by Mahito and Hanami, a Cursed Spirit who is environmentally conscious. During the battle, he uses several consecutive punches called \"Black Flash,\" a distortion in space that significantly empowers his Cursed Techniques. By the end of the battle, he and Todo are able to fight off Hanami long enough for Gojo to defeat the Curse. Later, Yuji is assigned on a mission where he comes across two brothers who are both a Cursed Womb: Death Painting, hybrids of a Cursed spirit and a human. He and Nobara kill them, though Yuji expresses regret when he realizes they have physical bodies and that he disrupted their tight-knit brotherly bond.\n\nIn October of the same year, Yuji is sent to Shibuya when Mahito and the Cursed Spirits lay one final siege on the Jujutsu Sorcerers of Japan. During the battle, Yuji watches Nanami and seemingly Nobara get killed when encountering Mahito. This causes him to feel incredible guilt and pain. He also fights Choso, the Eldest brother of the two Death Paintings, Eso and Kechizu. After the Jujutsu Sorcerers lose the battle and Suguru Geto (actually Kenjaku) unleashes thousands of Cursed Spirits and newly awakened Jujutsu Sorcerers onto the world, Choso tells Yuji that he is Yuji's older brother and that Yuji has the blood of a Cursed Spirit. He is later hunted by other Jujutsu Sorcerers blaming him for the attack on Shibuya, including Yuta Okkotsu.\n\nSometime afterwards Yuji, Fushiguro, and second-year student Panda prepare to fight in Kenjaku's Culling Game between the newly born Jujutsu Sorcerers in Japan. It is also revealed that Kenjaku is his \"mother\" who took over her body and created him.\n\nIn the light novel, set during Yuji's time in hiding and secret training after being declared dead, he encounters Minato in a park. The boy unknowingly manifested a Cursed Spirit that appeared in front of his adoptive parents' home at night. Yuji ultimately defeats it after a lesson from Gojo.\n\nPowers and abilities \nYuji is one of his school's most powerful and talented students. In high school, he had superhuman strength, reflexes, and overall athletic ability. He is incredibly agile and can run at up to 60.12 km/h. In the world of Jujutsu sorcery, Yuji is also an exceptional prodigy. He has contended with and defeated Grade 1 and Special Grade Curses, despite only having been introduced into the world a few months beforehand. He can contain Sukuna with little effort and can harm the shape of a Curse's soul in addition to their physical body. Yuji also has strong durability, being able to walk off stab wounds and beatings. Among his Cursed Techniques are Divergent Fist where the flow of his Cursed Energy has a reverb effect against enemies, guaranteeing a second hit. He also uses Black Flash, a Cursed Energy hit that takes 0.000001 seconds to become enacted. He has used the Black Flash nine times so far in the manga, and up to four times in a row.\n\nReception \nWriting for Polygon, Chingy Nea initially stated to finding Yuji to be \"a typical shōnen hero meant to appeal to young boys...He’s earnest and goofy like Naruto, incredibly self-sacrificing like Midoriya from My Hero Academia\" but went on to acknowledge how \"whereas the prototypical shōnen protagonist’s function is to change the world...[Jujutsu Kaisen] attempts to reconcile the ideals of its genre with the crushing nature of modern life...this affects Itadori. He is scared to die and is horrified by the world he has wound up in. But it doesn’t make him cynical, and it doesn’t stop him from pushing through his pain to try to help others.\" The character was also compared to Bleachs protagonist Ichigo Kurosaki due to their parallels especially in his early appearances; such as being young fighters who develop supernatural powers as well as evil alter-egos in order to protect people from giant monsters. Comic Book Resources compared Itadori's temptation to use Sukuna similar to other shōnen heroes such as Ichigo's Hollow persona as an analysis of how everybody has inner conflicts.\n\nKaren Lu, writing from Yale University, also took note of the way Yuji bent stereotypes about a young, male anime protagonist. She said that \"instead of the protagonist bull-headedly persevering through the impossible and ignoring the advice of his friends, Yuji realizes very early on that he cannot save everyone\" and commended the way the anime and manga demonstrate that \"he actually has to get stronger and suffer death,\" concluding with the thought that \"it’s inspiring yet sobering.\" Other positive reception has been directed at how Yuji \"openly takes on a huge responsibility and sacrifices his own safety to save his friends\" and how his interactions with them \"overflows with fun energy.\"\n\nEric Thomas of Discussing Film praised Yuji's introduction and looked favorably upon changes made to the character in the anime adaptation, remarking that \"a scene that adds more depth between Yuji and his grandfather is in the pilot...is important to Yuji’s development, and the additional bits convey the protagonist’s emotions fantastically\". He also praised the \"incredibly talented voice actor who nail[ed] the performance.\"\n\nWhen the prequel Jujutsu Kaisen 0 was released, critics often compared Yuji Itadori to his predecessor, the protagonist Yuta Okkotsu. Critics were divided on which of the two protagonists created by Akutami was more fitting for the protagonist role such as who is more relatable or more original as a result of their different characterizations despite having similar parallels. Otaquest criticized the handling of Yuji in retrospect, finding him too simple in comparison to Yuta, comparing him more to Ichigo Kurosaki like other critics mentioned. Sportskeeda came to regard Yuta as a more compelling protagonist than Yuji based on his likable personality as well as his fighting style which he manages to control on his own. In contrast Yuji is often the subject of Sukuna.\n\nYuji was the number one fan-favorite Jujutsu Kaisen character on MyAnimeList (MAL) as of June 2021. In a VIZ popularity poll taken in March 2021, he was voted the second-most popular character in the franchise after Satoru Gojo. At the 6th Crunchyroll Anime Awards in 2022, he was nominated for \"Best Protagonist\" and won \"Best Fight Scene\" for his battle with Aoi Todo against Hanami. He also received a nomination in the same category for his battle with Nobara Kugisaki fighting against Eso and Kechizu. In May 2022, manga author Kenta Shinohara did his own tribute to the character of Yuji alongside Yuta and Megumi.\n\nReferences \n\nAnime and manga characters who can move at superhuman speeds\nAnime and manga characters who use magic\nAnime and manga characters with superhuman durability or invulnerability\nAnime and manga characters with superhuman strength\nComics characters introduced in 2018\nFictional characters who have been possessed by demons\nFictional characters with energy-manipulation abilities\nFictional demon hunters\nFictional exorcists\nFictional ghost hunters\nFictional Japanese people in anime and manga\nFictional magicians and sorcerers\nFictional male martial artists\nMale characters in anime and manga\nMartial artist characters in anime and manga\nTeenage characters in anime and manga",

"Matthew Casey is a fictional character on the NBC drama Chicago Fire, portrayed by actor Jesse Spencer. Casey is a firefighter at Firehouse 51. He was a lieutenant from Seasons 1 through 6 and from season 6 is a captain in the Chicago Fire Department on Truck Company 81. \n\nThe character had an ongoing feud with Detective Hank Voight (Jason Beghe), a protagonist in Chicago Fire spin-off Chicago P.D. Casey's storyline crosses with Voight's once again in the season 3 finale of Chicago Fire, after he reluctantly agrees to help Voight with an undercover investigation.\n\nBackground and characterization\nAs the leader of the truck company, Casey's cool, standoffish demeanor and no-nonsense attitude sometimes put his crew off, but he is respected by them and highly regarded by Chief Boden. He is extremely private about his personal life, preferring to wallow in his own problems rather than seek help from his colleagues. He sometimes comes across as distant and aloof, as he usually keeps to himself during down time, even when around colleagues in the lounge room. In the season 4 premiere, Herrmann tellingly comments that the way Casey deals with things is \"not dealing with it\"; of all the characters, he generally confides in Severide or Dawson and only after he is at his breaking point. Despite this, Casey does care for his men and will not hesitate to defend them, even if it means standing up to his superiors and risking his own career. He trusts the men of his truck company implicitly (and vice versa) and is generally quite lax with them in good faith that they will maintain professional standards themselves, only disciplining them when he has no choice. However, he is known for being tough with candidates, as seen with Mills, Jones, and Borrelli, and would either personally or have one of his more senior firefighters regularly drill them.\n\nCasey is the son and youngest child of Gregory and Nancy Casey and has an older sister, Christie. He is burdened by his ex-convict mother Nancy, who shattered the family 15 years earlier when she murdered his abusive father. He and his older sister grew distant with each other after their father's death, but they have since mended their relationship. His family still remains a touchy subject and, according to veterans Mouch and Herrmann, there is an unspoken rule within the firehouse that no one is to mention Casey's family or ask him about them. His relationship with Gabriela Dawson was a major storyline throughout the series and they eventually married in the series' 100th episode. Their relationship ended when Dawson left Chicago to head a rescue-and-relief unit in Puerto Rico at the end of season 6, and they eventually divorced.\n\nAfter Dawson's departure, Casey gradually grew closer to her former partner, paramedic-in-charge Sylvie Brett, throughout seasons 7 to 9. Eventually they fell in love with each other and finally consummated their relationship in the season 9 finale \"No Survivors\". In the season 10 episode \"Two Hundred\" Casey moves to Oregon to take care of Andrew Darden's sons, becoming their legal guardian, but maintains a long-distance relationship with Brett. In the season 11 finale \"Red Waterfall\", Casey returns to Chicago and proposes to Brett. \n\nA skilled handyman and carpenter, Casey freelances as a construction contractor when off-duty. Other characters have consulted him for advice on construction-related issues. For example, he was \"consulted\" by Herrmann on renovation works and building code compliance for Molly's and built a ramp for a paraplegic accident victim he and his men had rescued.\n\nCharacter arc\n\nChicago Fire\n\nIn the pilot, Casey and Kelly Severide are shown to be good friends since their days at the fire academy and longtime coworkers who are at loggerheads with each other, much to Chief Boden's frustration, over the death of fellow firefighter and close friend Andy Darden due to a bad call. Although they try to remain professional in front of their men, their spats often make their way into the firehouse off duty to the point where they indirectly insult each other, with newest candidate Peter Mills getting caught in the crossfire. They eventually put aside their animosity by the end of the first season. Throughout the show they are often seen putting themselves in danger to assist each other during dangerous calls. Both are known to their men as intensely guarded and reticent about their personal lives but they confide in each other, usually over a beer or sharing a cigar on the firehouse roof.\n\nDarden's death affects Casey in the following episodes because he is forced to look after Darden's two young sons when Darden's widow, Heather, is imprisoned for DUI manslaughter. He discovers that he was named their legal guardian in the Dardens' will, and their time together helps him develop a strong relationship with the boys. The fact that Heather still keeps in contact with Casey is a sore point for him and Severide as she blames Severide for failing to prevent her husband's death.\n\nCasey is engaged to Dr. Hallie Thomas for a time, but she tells him she never wants to have children (in contrast to his desire for them) and they decide to break it off. He tentatively pursues Gabby Dawson but they end up staying friends. At the end of the first season in \"Ambition\", Hallie returns and Casey rekindles his relationship with her. After discovering a drug ring in a clinic where she works, she is murdered in the season 1 episode \"Leaders Lead\". Despite Casey and Severide’s efforts to rescue her from the fire set at her clinic, Casey is told by a doctor that Hallie has died, and he begins weeping in Mills’ arms. At the end of season 1 and the prelude into season 2, Gabby shows up at his door helping him cope with Hallie's death. She has for a long time had a crush on him, but on a casual date at her cousin's Christmas party, he \"kissed her on the cheek\" when she tried to kiss him, and from then on Dawson seems mad at him. In the season 2 episode \"Rhymes with Shout\" he shows up at Gabby's door and kisses her. At the start of the next episode, they are shown waking up in bed together. In the season 2 episode \"Not Like This\", Casey risks his life to save a baby in a burning building and is rushed to the hospital in critical condition. When he gets back on the job, he suffers from neurological symptoms such as memory loss, uncharacteristic outbursts of anger and headaches but keeps this from his colleagues, although his erratic behavior is quickly picked up by several veteran coworkers and Dawson. When he begins to bleed from his ear, he sees a doctor who tells him that it was caused by a crack in his skull and warns him that another hit to the head could be catastrophic. He decides not to tell his colleagues or the Chief, fearing that he would be forced into disability retirement.\n\nAfter Mills breaks up with Dawson for various reasons (one being Dawson’s feelings for Casey), Dawson and Casey begin to spend more time together, partially because Casey has to look after Heather's children (even with his 24-hour shifts) and asks for help. After spending more time together, Casey and Dawson decide for the moment they are happy just being friends. Casey eventually gets help from Dawson's friend, Isabella, to get Heather moved to a minimum security facility so that she can see Griffin and Ben more often. In the episode \"No Regrets\", Heather gets released due to overcrowding and she moves to Florida because she can't live in Chicago without being reminded of both her husband and friend's death. This deeply saddens Casey, but he understands. In the episode \"You Will Hurt Him\", Casey and Dawson wake up in bed together. Dawson still has doubts and fears about Casey's commitment but he tells her, \"I had a chance at this a year ago and I blew it. I've been regretting it ever since.\" He further assures his commitment by telling her \"As far as I'm concerned, it's our time now.\" They kiss and start a relationship. He proposes to her in the season two finale \"Real Never Waits\", but before he can get an answer the bells go off and they head to a call at which Shay is killed. This puts off his plans for a while but months later in \"Wow Me\", Casey proposes to Dawson again at the Fire academy, and she happily says \"yes\" even before he can finish the question. The two then go home to have sex. However, their happiness is short lived because Dawson joins Truck 81 and therefore as coworkers they cannot get married. In \"Nobody Touches Anything\", the two share how they would do anything if they could get married now and seal it with a kiss. This is also short-lived because after they are caught kissing, things go downhill for the couple. Following Shay's death, Severide moves in with Casey and Dawson. Some of the strain on Casey and Dawson's relationship comes from Casey and Severide's relationship; with Casey putting Severide in front of Dawson. This, amongst other things, leads Dawson to break up with Casey in \"Let Him Die\". In \"Headlong Toward Disaster\", Severide turns down an order from his chief to spy on Casey. He also tells the chief that Casey is \"one of the finest firefighters [he's] ever had the opportunity to work with in the entire CFD.\" Severide is the only person on the show, besides Dawson and Chief Boden, to call Casey by his first name. Casey is the only person on the show to call Severide by the nickname Sev, while Severide is the only person on the show to call Casey by the nickname Case.\n\nIn the season 3 episode \"Category 5\", Casey knowingly turns down Voight's help (hinting that there are still tensions between him and Voight) with a case of human trafficking that involves the owner of a strip club, Jack Nesbitt. Nesbitt is a former firefighter and friend. Casey initially takes on construction as a favor but senses that something is not right about some of Nesbitt's \"business associates\". He eventually agrees to help Voight get intel about Nesbitt. In the season finale, \"Spartacus\", he is discovered missing when Dawson goes to his house to check on him. She finds his apartment trashed and torn apart and the dead body of a stripper named Katya who had worked for Nesbitt's strip club. Casey is nowhere to be found, presumably kidnapped.\n\nIt is revealed that Katya had been compiling a notebook of evidence with the intention of exposing the trafficking ring running out of Nesbitt's nightclub. She went to Casey's house to ask for help but they are ambushed by Bulgarian criminals who kill Katya on the spot. For the first several episodes, Casey is seen struggling to come to terms with Nesbitt's betrayal and having to witness a murder in his own home. His inner turmoil is somewhat assuaged when Dawson, who is temporarily on desk duty at the Office of Fire Investigation, reveals to him that she is pregnant with their child. They intended to keep the secret \"in-house\" but word eventually spreads to their colleagues, even to their contemporaries at the CPD, but Dawson suffers a miscarriage.\n\nCasey's relationship with Dawson became strained when they disagree over her decision to foster Louie, a boy they had rescued who had no listed next of kin. He comes to accept Louie, much to Dawson's delight. They push for an adoption but a judge tells him that their chances are slim due to the lack of evidence that they are in a committed relationship. In the 100th episode he and Dawson get married and file for the adoption together. However, Louie's biological father files for custody, having just returned from a deployment in Afghanistan and having learned about Louie's existence recently. He succeeds as he is backed by his immediate family members.\n\nIn the season 5 finale \"My Miracle\", Casey's life is left hanging in the balance when he is trapped in a warehouse fire along with Herrmann, Mouch, Kidd, Otis, Severide and Kannell. His fate is not revealed until the season 6 premiere, and he calls Gabby \"my miracle\" in what looks like a goodbye speech to her as he is not sure if he will be able to get out.\n\nIn the season 6 premiere \"It Wasn't Enough\", Boden makes the call to open up the water cannon, ordering the men to take cover any way they can. Casey is seen taking cover using a metal cabinet, as well as shielding a victim. When Boden finds Casey, he is passed out under the cabinet with his PASS alarm going off. The episode jumps two months later where the firehouse looks to be at a memorial to his life. They are in dress blues for this, but it turns out Casey receives a medal of valor after the fire and he along with the rest of Firehouse 51 return to normal lives.\n\nIn \"An Even Bigger Surprise\", he is recommended for promotion to Captain after rescuing a suicidal mentally unstable person from jumping off a building. In \"A Breaking Point\", after rescuing Dawson from the collapsed parking garage, he is promoted to Captain. Uniformed personnel clap for him and Dawson and the two hug. In \"Devil's Bargain\" he snaps at Ramon and then gets in to it with Dawson. He also has come to blows with Severide after they decide how to get a patient down who is trapped in wire on a building.\n\nIn \"Down Is Better\", after having learned that Hope, Sylvie Brett's friend from Indiana, has forged a signature from a fire chief, Matt and Chief Boden dismiss her from the fire station. In \"Slamigan\", Casey and Dawson are awarded temporary foster guardian of Bria Jamison, a runaway teen who has an addict father and family members who want nothing to do with her. In \"Law of the Jungle\", in the middle of a call of a warehouse fire, Casey and Severide jump off the roof as it explodes. In \"The F Is For\", he and Severide jump into the river fully clothed, and while Casey swims and heads to the surface, Severide is injured, and Kidd rescues him. Casey is then comforted by Gabby, and Severide recovers.\n\nIn \"The Strongest Among Us\", Casey helps Gabby get Bria ready for prom. He decides they should have something good to remember so he lets Bria and her date ride in the Truck. After the truck leaves Gabby tells Matt she wants to start trying again which he agrees to. In \"The Grand Gesture\", after going to a doctor and finding out Gabby has a 10% chance of dying if she gets pregnant, he decides he doesn't want her getting pregnant. He brings up adoption and looks into it, which makes Gabby upset since she's afraid the same thing will happen that happened to Louie. After a fight in the last episode, Gabby tells Matt she'll be right back and goes to ask about a job in Puerto Rico while he stays home, not sure where his wife has gone. In \"A Closer Eye\", his wife Gabriela, comes back from Puerto Rico only for her to leave once and for all. In \"Going to War\", while fighting an apartment fire, Brett expresses blame to Casey for letting Gabby go, only for him to tell her that there was nothing anyone else could do.\n\nIn \"The Solution to Everything\", Casey tells Severide that he and Dawson are divorced. He starts dating a reporter named Naomi but she tells him in \"Inside These Walls\" that she is going to Zurich. He is surprised but happy that she helped him deal with the departure of his ex-wife.\n\nIn \"You Choose\", Brett helps Casey look for an apartment to live in following the fire that destroyed his old apartment. She finds what appears to be the \"perfect apartment\", but Casey decides to move in with Severide following his breakup with Stella Kidd. In \"Fault in Him\", while on a call for a suicide attempt and getting a clear from one of the officers, he is ambushed by a gunman who had killed his brother. In \"Move a Wall\", as he deals with his post-traumatic stress stemming from the events, he takes it out on Herrmann when Ritter gets injured on a call. \n\nIn \"Double Red\", While on the scene of a call, Casey is hit by an uncooperative drunk driver and he fears that his career at the fire department may be over. In \"Natural Born Firefighter\", Casey goes to get an MRI as a result of his head injury and Brett comes with him. He says that the results could mean he might have to quit the CFD.\nThe MRI shows no damage to his brain. The complaints were caused because of a shoulder injury. Both Brett and Casey are happy to hear Casey is cleared to return to full duty. They share a long and passionate hug. \n\nIn \"Don't Hang Up\", Brett and Casey grow distant from each following Casey's test results.\n\nIn \"A White-Knuckle Panic\" Casey finally confessed his true feelings to Brett and tells her that he loves her, and they consummated their relationship in the season 9 finale \"No Survivors\". \n\nIn the season 10 episode \"Two Hundred\", Casey moves to Oregon to take care of Andrew Darden's sons as well as he applied to Portland Fire Department.\n\nIn the season 10 episode \"The Magnificent City of Chicago\", Casey came back to Chicago for Kelly and Stella's wedding.\n\nIn the season 11 finale \"Red Waterfall\", Casey returns to Chicago and proposes to Sylvie.\n\nRelationships\nHallie Thomas\n\nIn season 1, he is engaged to Dr. Hallie Thomas but they end it when she tells him she doesn't want to have kids. Later on, they resume the relationship. However, at the end of season 1, Hallie dies in a fire at the clinic where she works.\n\nGabriela (Gabby) Dawson\n\nHis relationship with Dawson starts at the end of season 1 after the death of his fiancée Hallie. Their relationship goes up and down. At the end of season 3, Dawson reveals she is pregnant. However, she loses her child as a result of ectopic pregnancy in the beginning of season 4. They foster Louie at the end of season 4 and in season 5, they marry in the 100th episode in order to successfully adopt Louie.\n\nAt the end of season 6, Dawson leaves for Puerto Rico to work in relief help. She returns once more in the opening episode but tells Casey she will move there. She returns to Chicago for a charity event in \"Best Friend Magic\".\n\nSylvie Brett\n\nAfter the departure of Dawson, Matt grew close to her partner, Sylvie. They have been there for each other during tough times, like when Casey lost his home to arson or her break-up with a CFD chaplain. However, after a friend mentioned that Sylvie should be with Matt, she was initially confused by her feelings for him, especially since she was close to his ex-wife. However, she got engaged to her ex-boyfriend before Matt could ask her out.\n\nIn season 8, Sylvie is still confused by her feelings for Matt, getting overly defensive when he assumes she was going on a date. However, Matt helps her through a very difficult time of not only reconnecting with her birth mother, but in the aftermath of her death and the possibility of raising her new baby half-sister on her own.\n\nIn season 9, Matt's feelings for Brett become more apparent when he offered to stay at Sylvie's place after she suspects a violent brother of an OD patient may be out for revenge and after her ambulance was run off the road, Matt jumped out of the truck without it stopping. This culminates to a kiss at the end of the episode, but Brett stops before it progresses any further because of their relationship with Dawson. While the two try to move on from the kiss, Matt struggles to get over her and she begins dating another truck lieutenant at another firehouse. However, when an old head injury threatens Casey's career, Brett was there for him, but causing her boyfriend to break up with her. After Severide encouraged him, Casey told Brett about his real feelings for her and a period of awkwardness between them, she admitted the same. Soon, after they consummated their relationship.\n\nIn season 10, Casey moves to Oregon to take care of Andrew Darden's sons, becoming their legal guardian, but he and Sylvie still love each other, and they agree to continue dating each other, with their relationship turning into a long-distance relationship.\n\nIn the premiere of Season 11, Sylvie broke up with Casey as they have grown apart due to the distance between them.\nIn the season finale of Season 11, Casey proposes to Sylvie in the doorway of her apartment.\n\nCrossover appearances\nCasey has appeared on Chicago P.D., mainly in cross-overs. Although he is on friendly terms with most characters, he has a notable grudge against Sgt. Hank Voight due to the fact that he was a victim of Voight's cover as a corrupt cop running with local gangs and was made livid by Voight's cover-up of his son's DUI. The animosity has since faded some since Voight saved him from being shot by Jack Nesbitt in the nick of time and assisted Boden in several arson-related investigations. Matt even showed sympathy to Voight after the loss of his son, Justin.\n\n Chicago P.D.: \"8:30 PM\" (April 30, 2014) \n Chicago P.D.: \"The Number of Rats (April 29, 2015)\n Chicago P.D.: \"The Silos\" (September 21, 2016)\n Chicago P.D.: \"Don't Bury This Case\" (January 3, 2017)\n Chicago Med: \"Cold Front\" (February 16, 2017)\n Chicago P.D.: \"Profiles\" (March 7, 2018)\n Chicago Med: \"When To Let Go\" (October 3, 2018)\n Chicago P.D.: \"Good Men\" (February 20, 2019)\n Chicago Med: \"The Space Between Us\" (March 27, 2019)\n Chicago Med: \"We're Lost in the Dark\" (October 2, 2019)\n\nReferences\n\nChicago Fire (TV series) characters\nFictional characters from Chicago\nFictional firefighters\nFictional construction workers\nFictional politicians\nTelevision characters introduced in 2012\nCrossover characters in television\nAmerican male characters in television",

"Flavio Briatore (; born 12 April 1950) is an Italian businessman. He started his career as a restaurant manager and insurance salesman in Italy. Briatore was convicted in Italy on several fraud charges in the 1980s, receiving two prison sentences, though the convictions were later extinguished by an amnesty. Briatore set up a number of successful Benetton franchises as a fugitive in the Virgin Islands and the United States. In 1990, he was promoted by Luciano Benetton to manage the Benetton Formula One racing team, which became Renault F1 in 2002. From 2007 to 2011, he was part-owner and chairman of London's Queens Park Rangers F.C. In September 2009, Briatore was forced to resign from the ING Renault F1 team due to his involvement in race fixing at the 2008 Singapore Grand Prix. After the Fédération Internationale de l'Automobile (FIA) conducted its own investigation, Briatore was banned indefinitely from any events sanctioned by the FIA, although this ban was later overturned by a French Tribunal de Grande Instance.\n\nEarly life and Benetton career \nBriatore was born in Verzuolo near Cuneo in the Maritime Alps to a family of elementary school teachers. After twice failing public (state) school, he attended a private (independent) school, receiving a diploma with the lowest grades in Land Surveying at Fassino di Busca high school. Briatore found early work as a ski instructor and restaurant manager. He opened a restaurant named Tribüla, which was Briatore's nickname. The restaurant was unsuccessful and had to close due to excessive debt.\n\nIn the 1970s, he moved to Cuneo and became an assistant to businessman Attilio Dutto, owner of the Paramatti Vernici paint company. Dutto was killed on 21 March 1979 in a car bomb attack by an unknown perpetrator.\n\nBriatore moved to Milan and worked for Finanziaria Generale Italia at the Italian stock exchange. During this period, he met Luciano Benetton, founder of the Benetton clothing company.\n\nConvictions and fugitive status \nBriatore was convicted of multiple counts of fraud in the 1980s, receiving two prison sentences. In 1984, a court in Bergamo found him guilty of various counts of fraud and he was fined and sentenced to one year and six months in prison. The sentence was subsequently reduced to one year by a court of appeal in 1988. In 1986, in Milan, Briatore was sentenced to three years for fraud and conspiracy for his role in a team of confidence tricksters who, over a number of years, set up rigged gambling games using fake playing cards. The judges described these as elaborate confidence tricks, in which victims were invited to dinner and then \"ensnared\" in rigged games that involved a cast of fictional characters and realised enormous profits for their perpetrators. After an appeal in 1987, the sentence was reduced to one year and two months. To avoid imprisonment, Briatore lived as a fugitive in Saint Thomas, Virgin Islands. He never went to prison and returned to the EU after both convictions were extinguished by amnesty. In 2010, a Turin court ordered Briatore rehabilitated, which by Italian Criminal Code results in the extinction \"of any criminal effect of the conviction\".\n\nDuring Briatore's fugitive status, he maintained close relations with Benetton and opened some Benetton stores in the Virgin Islands. When Benetton opened his first five stores in the United States in 1979, he appointed Briatore as director of the group's American operations. Thanks to Benetton's methods of franchising, the chain experienced a brief boom in popularity in the US, where, by 1989, there were 800 Benetton stores. Briatore, having taken a cut of each franchising agreement, became very wealthy. As store owners began to complain of competition from other Benetton stores, the number of stores decreased to 200 and Briatore began to look for a new business. In 1999, the Corriere della Sera wrongfully reported that he had been arrested in Nairobi on suspicion of fraud relating to real estate in Kenya, but further to a libel claim brought by Briatore against the newspaper, this allegation proved to be untrue and Briatore was compensated.\n\nFormula One\n\nBenetton Formula\n\nBriatore attended his first Formula One race, the Australian Grand Prix, in , having in the past proclaimed his lack of interest in the sport. Luciano Benetton appointed him commercial director of his Formula One team, Benetton Formula Ltd. (formerly Toleman), and when he fired the team management shortly thereafter, Briatore was promoted to managing director and set about turning Benetton into a competitive team.\n\nHe hired and quickly fired engineer John Barnard and lured young driver Michael Schumacher from the Jordan team after his first F1 race in . The Times observed that Briatore knew Schumacher could be the best and built a team around him at Benetton Schumacher went on to win at Spa in and again at Estoril in before claiming the World Drivers' Championship in and . The Benetton team won the World Constructors' Championship in 1995.\n\nIn 1994 Briatore rejected Umberto Agnelli's proposal to move to Ferrari.\n\nDuring the season, Briatore's Benetton team came under allegations of cheating, resulting in fines and a two-race ban for Schumacher.\n\nLate in , Briatore purchased the ailing Ligier team thereby acquiring its Renault engine supply. He passed operational management of Ligier to Tom Walkinshaw and took on complete management of Benetton. When Schumacher and a number of key technical staffers departed for Ferrari in , the Benetton team slipped to the middle of the grid.\n\nBriatore purchased a share of the Minardi team in , but after failing to sell it to British American Tobacco as he had hoped, he sold out to fellow owners Giancarlo Minardi and Gabriele Rumi. In , Benetton replaced Briatore with David Richards.\n\nFrom to , he led the company Supertec, supplying Mecachrome-built Renault engines to Williams and BAR in 1999, Arrows in 2000, and under the brand name \"Playlife\" for Benetton in both 1999 and 2000.\n\nRenault F1\n\nIn 2000, Renault announced its plans to return to Formula One with the purchase of the Benetton Formula team. Briatore returned as managing director and team principal, replacing Rocco Benetton. The team raced as Benetton-Renault in 2001 before becoming Renault F1 in 2002.\n\nBriatore has a reputation as a talent-scout and probably his greatest 'find' has been Fernando Alonso. Briatore met with the teenage Spaniard in 1999. As his manager, Briatore secured him a race drive with Minardi in 2001 and promoted him to test-driver for Renault in 2002.\n\nIn 2003, Briatore fired race-driver Jenson Button and replaced him with Alonso. When he replaced Button the outcry was huge but Briatore stated, \"time will tell if I am wrong\".\n\nWith Alonso, Renault won both the driver's and constructor's championships in 2005 and 2006. However, Alonso turned his back on Briatore to sign for rivals McLaren for 2007.\n\nBriatore also acted as manager for Mark Webber, Jarno Trulli, Nelson Piquet Jr. and Heikki Kovalainen. Despite winning the 2004 Monaco Grand Prix, Trulli was dropped from Renault by Briatore and replaced by Giancarlo Fisichella.\n\nIn April 2006, Renault F1's new president Alain Dassas stated that having a contract with Briatore for 2007 was 'a key factor' in securing the company's commitment to the sport, \"and we will do everything to ensure Flavio stays\". Briatore was duly confirmed on 6 September 2006 as staying at Renault for the 2007 and 2008 seasons.\n\nBriatore replaced Alonso with Kovalainen for 2007, saying \"with Kovalainen, I hope to find the anti-Alonso\".\n\nAllegations were made during November 2007 by the FIA against the Renault F1 team regarding information they were found to have in their possession concerning the 2006 and 2007 McLaren F1 cars. These allegations were the subject of an FIA investigation, with an FIA hearing taking place on 6 December 2007. Renault were found guilty of breaching the same regulation as McLaren (see F1 espionage scandal), but were not punished. Despite this guilty verdict, Briatore hit back at McLaren's Ron Dennis, saying \"here is a team that acquired an advantage illegally. Just read the regulations: for intellectual property theft the punishment is exclusion... Ron Dennis… was the one who protested us on the mass damper. He is not the immaculate saint he pretends to be on his statements\".\n\nIn August 2009, Briatore was heavily criticised by Nelson Piquet Jr., the son of three-time F1 champion Nelson Piquet, after Piquet Jr. was removed from the Renault team. On his personal website, Piquet Jr. called Briatore his \"executioner\". In an interview with Autosport magazine, Piquet Jr. said that Briatore \"is ignorant about Formula 1\". Piquet Jr. criticised Briatore for his ego and for his poor sense of race tactics.\n\nDeparture\n\nBriatore resigned as team principal of Renault due to a race fixing scandal. The controversy centred on an early crash involving Nelson Piquet Jr.'s car during the 2008 Singapore Grand Prix of 28 September 2008, when he was still driving for Renault. At the time, Piquet Jr. described the crash as a simple mistake; however, shortly after his acrimonious departure from Renault and criticism of Briatore nearly a year later in August 2009, allegations surfaced that he had deliberately crashed to help Renault teammate Fernando Alonso, who went on to win the race. After a Fédération Internationale de l'Automobile (FIA) investigation, on 4 September 2009 Renault were charged with conspiracy and race fixing, and were due to face the FIA World Motor Sport Council in Paris on 21 September 2009. In return for immunity from punishment, Piquet Jr. had reportedly stated to the FIA that he had been asked to crash by Briatore and Renault chief engineer Pat Symonds. On 11 September, following leaks of Piquet Jr.'s evidence, Renault and Briatore stated they would take legal action against Piquet Jr. for making false allegations. However, five days later, Renault announced they would not contest the charges and that Briatore and Symonds had left the team. The day after the Renault announcement, Renault confirmed Briatore had resigned from the team, while Briatore himself stated of his departure that \"I was just trying to save the team\", \"It's my duty. That's the reason I've finished.\" The team issued the following official statement:\n\nAt the same hearing, the FIA banned Briatore from FIA-sanctioned events indefinitely. The FIA also stated that it would not renew any superlicence granted to Briatore-managed drivers, effectively barring him from managing drivers who participate in any competition that is under the FIA's authority. The FIA stated that it was coming down hard on Briatore because he denied his involvement despite overwhelming evidence and that Renault's actions were serious enough to merit being thrown out of F1. However, since Renault took swift action by forcing Briatore and Symonds to resign once the affair came to light, the FIA effectively placed the team on two years' probation. If Renault committed a comparable offence between 2009 and 2011, it was to be indefinitely banned from F1. British newspaper The Daily Mirror described the ban as the harshest sanction ever imposed on an individual in the history of motorsport.\n\nBriatore later said he was \"distraught\" at the FIA's action and sued the FIA in French courts to clear his name. On 5 January 2010, the Tribunal de Grande Instance overturned the ban and granted him €15,000 in compensation. The tribunal declared in particular that \"the decision of the World Council was presided over by the FIA president, who was well known to be in conflict with Briatore, with Mr Mosley having played a leading role in launching the inquiry and its investigation in violation of the principle of separation of the power of the bodies\". The FIA announced that it would appeal the decision issued by the French court, but the two parties reached an out-of-court settlement the following April.\n\nIn an interview with Gazzetta dello Sport, Briatore said that he is sure that he will not return to Formula One, despite having his ban overturned.\n\nStance on the future of F1\nBriatore has always spoken out about his desires to see F1 provide better entertainment. In 1994, he said: \"All the team owners are orientated towards the technical side rather than the entertainment side, and this is a big fault. Every meeting that I go to, people are talking about pistons and suspensions. Nobody goes to a race to see that kind of thing… People come to see Schumacher and Senna racing each other.\"\n\nTwelve years later his feelings were much the same: \"The people in charge should be businessmen, as they are in Hollywood, not ex-engineers. Nothing costs more, and delivers less entertainment, than hidden technology. And that’s what engineers love most of all.\"\n\nIn 2007, he even went so far as to suggest that Grands Prix be split into two separate races as in the GP2 series.\n\nOn 20 March 2014 he said it was wrong to let the car manufacturers succeed in their push for the all-new regulations, featuring 'greener' engines that use less fuel. \"They delegated the writing of rules to engineers who do not care about the fans or entertainment, If Formula One does not change again in the near future, then the audience will be lost. Look at the comments on the internet, in blogs, on Twitter – they did not like the Australian Grand Prix. It was an indecipherable and depressing show. This is unacceptable and now we have chaos\" said Briatore.\n\nOn 12 June 2014 he said: \"I do not like this new Formula One. It's not our Formula 1.\" \"He pointed a finger at cars that \"do not make a noise\", drivers having to \"save fuel\" and \"fake overtaking\". He added: \"It is no longer a sport of gladiators, it is a sport of accountants.\"\n\nBusiness interests\nBriatore has developed a diverse portfolio of business interests outside Formula 1, many of which revolve around fashion.\n\nHe created the brand in 1998 and owns a club in Sardinia; in August 2012, he opened another Billionaire club in Marbella under that name along with an haute couture line, Billionaire Italian Couture. In addition to that, he opened Cipriani's restaurant in Mayfair, London, in 2004 and until 2007 owned 48.9% of the pharmaceuticals company . He also operates a Tuscan beach club and Lion in the Sun, a holiday resort in Kenya.\n\nBriatore is a beneficiary of Autumn Sailing Ltd, which purchased the super yacht Force Blue from Home Shopping Network investor Roy Speer for £68.2m. She was given a refitted interior designed by Celeste dell'Anna and a blue exterior. The yacht was then chartered by a number of individuals including Briatore, who named it as the most extravagant present he had ever bought himself. In 2010, the yacht was seized by officers investigating a tax fraud over its charter status and VAT on fuel. The Italian Supreme Court ruled that there were no issues with the seizure, though the yacht itself was released\n\nQueens Park Rangers Football Club\nIn 2007 Briatore was linked to a takeover of English Championship football club Queens Park Rangers (QPR) from a Monaco-based consortium led by Gianni Paladini. On 1 September 2007 it was officially announced that Briatore (along with Bernie Ecclestone and Lakshmi Mittal) had bought the club. On 7 November 2007, Briatore completed his takeover of QPR together with Ecclestone. He served as the club's chairman.\n\nIn December 2007, Briatore and Ecclestone were joined as co-owners of QPR by multi-billionaire Lakshmi Mittal, who bought 20% of the club.\n\nFollowing Briatore's ban from FIA, the Football League requested that FIA provide details of its investigation. The Football League could force Briatore out of QPR under rules that stipulate a club owner must be a \"fit and proper person\". The Football League also has the power to ban owners who have been banned from another sporting organisation. The Football League board discussed the matter on 8 October 2009 and declared that they would be awaiting a response from Briatore to various questions before commenting further. It was announced that he had stepped down from the post effective 19 February 2010.\n\nWhen interviewed about the QPR experience at an Italian chat show he stated \"I will never invest in a Football Club again, it's only ever a good idea if you're very rich and looking for ways to waste your money. In two years you'll be very poor and won't have that problem anymore\"\n\nPersonal life \nIn 1998, he became engaged to supermodel Naomi Campbell; they were involved in an on-again-off-again relationship until their separation in 2003. Campbell now considers Briatore her \"mentor\".\n\nIn March 2003, Briatore began dating supermodel Heidi Klum. In December she announced her pregnancy. Soon after, the two split and Klum began dating the musician Seal. Klum gave birth to Leni Klum in May 2004 in New York City. According to Klum, Briatore is not involved in Leni's life; she has stated emphatically that \"Seal is Leni's father\". In 2009, Briatore allowed Seal to adopt his daughter and change her name.\n\nBriatore married the 'Wonderbra' model Elisabetta Gregoraci on 14 June 2008. Gregoraci gave birth to their son in Nice, France in 2010.\n\nIn 2019 Briatore founded the political party Movimento del Fare.\n\nOn 25 August 2020, Briatore was hospitalized after testing positive for COVID-19.\n\nSee also\n The Apprentice (Italian TV series)\n\nReferences\n\nExternal links \n\n \n\n1950 births\nLiving people\nFormula One team owners\nFormula One team principals\nPeople from Verzuolo\nQueens Park Rangers F.C. directors and chairmen\nRenault people\nItalian fraudsters\nFugitives wanted on fraud charges\nItalian expatriates in the United Kingdom\nItalian emigrants to the United Kingdom\nItalian sports agents\nItalian motorsport people\nMotorsport agents\nBenetton Formula\nPeople named in the Pandora Papers",
"Raffaele Imperiale (born 24 October 1974) is an Italian criminal and a member of the Camorra. He is considered by the authorities as one of the most important drug traffickers affiliated with the Camorra. He was on the list of the most wanted fugitives in Italy until his arrest on 4 August 2021 in Dubai. In December 2022 it was noticed that Imperiale become a \"pentito\", starting crown witness procedure.\n\nBiography \nImperiale was born in Castellammare di Stabia, a seaside resort just south of Naples, Italy. His father was a wealthy and well-known businessman of Castellammare di Stabia, who owned the city's football team, S.S. Juve Stabia, and built many buildings around the region. In his childhood, Imperiale was the victim of an attempted kidnapping, but managed to escape and return home safely. It has always been a mystery how he managed to escape. He had an older brother who died in 1996 and bequeathed him the Rockland coffeeshop in Amsterdam from where Imperiale began his notorious criminal career. In his coffeeshop Imperiale sold soft drugs and was involved in large scale cocaine trafficking with the Dutch drug trader Rick van de Bunt. \n\nIn the 1990s he was introduced by Antonio Orefice, member of the Moccia clan, to Elio Amato, brother of Raffaele Amato, at the time one of the top drug traffickers of the Di Lauro clan. During those years Imperiale began to earn millions of euros, becoming the referent of the Di Lauro's organization who dealt directly with the drug trafficking cartels in Peru, Ecuador and Colombia. \n\nDuring the split of the Scissionisti di Secondigliano from the Di Lauro clan, Imperiale decided to ally with the Scissionisti, a position that he maintains to this day. In fact, during the Scampia feud, Imperiale supplied the Amato-Pagano clan with weapons. Yet, according to the pentito Antonio Leonardi, Imperiale was not a broker who acted independently, but, a full member of the Amato-Pagano. According to the authorities, while living in Dubai, Imperiale spent €400,000 a month to maintain his lavish lifestyle. In fact, after his arrest, it was revealed by the authorities that he had spent 7 million euros in just three months while on run, with the majority of expenses declared as \"personal expenses\".\n\nIn 2016, two stolen Van Gogh paintings from the Van Gogh Museum in Amsterdam in 2002, Congregation Leaving the Reformed Church in Nuenen and View of the Sea at Scheveningen, were recovered in a villa in Castellammare di Stabia, owned by him. \n\nDocuments sent by the United States Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) to the Dutch police exposed what would be a super drug cartel headed by Raffaele Imperiale, Ridouan Taghi (former Dutch most wanted criminal, now in jail), Daniel Kinahan (Irish reputed gang boss) and Edin Gačanin (Bosnian drug trafficker). The group was observed by the DEA having meetings in the Burj Al Arab hotel in Dubai, Imperiale's alleged operating base. The meetings took place in 2017, however, it only reached the Dutch media in October 2019. The DEA regards this as one of the world's fifty largest drug cartels, with a virtual monopoly on the Peruvian cocaine trade and would control around a third of the cocaine trade in Europe. Yet, according to the DEA documents, the destination for all the drugs shipments would be the Dutch ports.\n\nReferences \n\n1974 births\nCamorristi\nFugitives wanted by Italy\nFugitives wanted on organised crime charges\nLiving people\nScissionisti di Secondigliano\nItalian drug traffickers",

"Thomas Francis Gambino (; August 23, 1929 – October 3, 2023) was an Italian-American New York City mobster and a longtime caporegime of the Gambino crime family who successfully controlled lucrative trucking rackets in the New York City Garment District. He was the son of Carlo Gambino and nephew of Paul Castellano.\n\nEarly life\nGambino was born on August 23, 1929, to Carlo and Catherine (née Castellano) Gambino. He had three siblings, Joseph, Carl, and Phyllis Gambino Sinatra. His father joined the original Mangano crime family during the 1930s, rose to capo and later to underboss. In 1957, Carlo Gambino became boss of what is now called the Gambino crime family. Carlo Gambino became one of the most powerful mobsters in Cosa Nostra history. \n\nThomas Gambino graduated from Manhattan College in the Bronx and then started working for the Gambino family. In 1962 Gambino married Tommy Lucchese's daughter Frances. Over 1,000 guests attended the wedding, at which Carlo Gambino presented Lucchese with a $30,000 gift. In return, Lucchese gave Gambino a part of his rackets at Idlewild Airport (now called John F. Kennedy Airport). Lucchese exercised control over airport management security and all the airport unions. As a team, Lucchese and Gambino now controlled the airport, the Commission, and most organized crime in New York City. When Tommy Lucchese died in 1967, his interests in the garment industry were passed to Thomas Gambino, forming the basis of Gambino's wealth.\n\nBy the 1990s, Thomas Gambino owned three homes; one in Florida, another in Lido Beach, New York, and a third on Manhattan's exclusive Upper East Side. Thomas Gambino also headed the Gambino Medical and Science Foundation, which in 1991 financed a $2 million pediatric bone marrow transplant unit at Long Island Jewish Medical Center. Thomas Gambino's personal wealth was estimated to be around $75 million in 1992.\n\nCastellano regime\nAfter Carlo Gambino died in 1976, his designated successor, Paul Castellano, became the new family boss. Many family members were angered by Castellano's ascension, preferring underboss Aniello \"Mr. Neil\" Dellacroce instead. However, Dellacroce insisted that his supporters support Castellano for the good of the family. This move temporarily quieted dissension in the Gambino ranks. \n\nIn contrast, Thomas Gambino, who was Castellano's nephew, enjoyed a strong relationship with the new boss. Gambino epitomized the low-profile, well buffered, successful businessman image common among second-generation members of the Cosa Nostra. Given his college education, Castellano gave him responsibility for the family finances and running the trucking in the Garment District in Manhattan. Gambino and his allies in the Lucchese family were successful at infiltrating several legitimate businesses, especially the garment industry. This was due to Gambino's strong influence on the garment trucking business in New York and New Jersey. In 1981, the garment industry honored Gambino as its Man of the Year. Castellano quickly rewarded Gambino by making him a full family member, or \"made man\", and later a capo of his own crew. \n\nIn December 1985, the death of underboss Dellacroce brought the simmering dissension in the Gambino family to a head. Instead of selecting an established and respected capo to be the new underboss, Castellano instead chose his driver, Thomas Bilotti. At this point, capo John Gotti and Frank DeCicco saw the opportunity to capitalize on this discontent and kill Castellano and then take over the family leadership. On December 16, 1985, both Castellano and Bilotti were murdered by Gotti gunmen in a restaurant ambush at Sparks Steak House. Gambino, who was not part of the conspiracy, arrived at Sparks moments after the killing, to be turned away by DeCicco. Gotti was then elected the new boss of the Gambino family.\n\nGotti regime\nAlthough Gambino had been a Castellano loyalist, he quickly paid loyalty to Gotti and was able to preserve his position within the family. Since Gambino was such a strong earner for the family, Gotti did not want to replace him. In a conversation with Gambino mobster George Remini, Gotti had this comment about Gambino:\n\nI mean it sounds crazy, Georgie, but I was telling Frankie and Angelo, I'm gonna suggest to Tommy, we're gonna beef up his regime, Tommy Gambino, but we're not giving him no (expletive deleted) hotheads.\n\nIn April 1989, Gambino was indicted for obstruction of justice by lying to a grand jury about Gambino racketeering activities, but was acquitted later that year. On October 18, 1990, Gambino was indicted again on charges of extorting the garment industry. Through their ownership of four trucking companies, the Gambinos were able to charge shipping rates 40% higher than smaller non-mob shipping companies. Some of the strongest evidence in this case came from wiretapped conversations six years earlier between Gambino and Castellano at Castellano's Staten Island home. The conversations proved that the Gambinos and two other crime families exercised strong control over the Garment District. The government also set up a small garment factory in the Chinatown section of Manhattan, with New York State Police troopers posing as supervisors, to gain evidence against Gambino's trucking monopoly.\n\nThe government offered Gambino a plea bargain that included a guilty admission, a $12 million restitution payment, and a promise to leave the garment trucking business. In February 1992, Gambino accepted the plea bargain and avoided prison. Prosecutors would remark that a \"terrifying fear of prison\" helped motivate Gambino to accept the government deal.\n\nIndictment and prison\nIn 1991, Gambino, Gotti, Salvatore \"Sammy the Bull\" Gravano, and Frank LoCascio were indicted on charges of racketeering, loansharking, extortion, illegal gambling, and 11 counts of murder. Soon after the indictment, Gravano decided to become a government witness and testified against his former colleagues, including Gambino. In April 1992, Gotti and LoCascio were convicted and sentenced to life.\n\nOn May 11, 1993, Gambino was convicted of two counts of racketeering and racketeering conspiracy. Prosecutors claimed that Gambino had been supervising illegal gambling and loansharking activities in Connecticut since 1985. In January 1996, Gambino started serving a five-year prison sentence.\n\nIn May 1999, the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) filed fraud charges against Gambino's stockbroker, Mohammed Ali Khan. While still in prison, Gambino had sued Khan for defrauding him out of approximately $2 million.\n\nOn May 10, 2000, Gambino was released from prison. He died on October 3, 2023, at the age of 94.\n\nPopular culture\nThomas Gambino is portrayed by Tony Sirico in the 1998 made-for-television movie Witness to the Mob about Gravano and John Gotti.\n\nReferences\n\nFurther reading\n\nExternal links\n\nThomas Gambino on FindArticles\n\n1929 births\n2023 deaths\nAmerican gangsters of Italian descent\nAmerican gangsters of Sicilian descent\nGambino crime family\nManhattan College alumni\nPeople from Lido Beach, New York\nPeople from the Upper East Side",

"Brendan John Canty (born March 9, 1966) is an American musician, composer, producer and filmmaker, best known as the drummer for the band Fugazi.\n\nIn 2007, Stylus Magazine ranked Canty at No. 29 on the list of \"50 Greatest Rock Drummers\".\n\nBiography\n\nEarly years, Rites of Spring\nBrendan Canty was born in Teaneck, New Jersey, and grew up in the Cleveland Park neighborhood of Washington, D.C., where his family moved when he was 10 months old. He began playing drums at the age of 15, debuting in Dischord Records band Deadline, one of the signature bands of the early D.C. hardcore scene in the summer of 1981. They recorded a demo at Inner Ear Studios that Fall, and from those sessions three tracks were used on the Dischord \"Flex Your Head\" compilation. After playing a number of shows through the following year, Deadline recorded one more session at Inner Ear in August 1982, just prior to disbanding. Canty continued his musical career in 1985 with Dischord band Rites of Spring, after which he played drums in one on/off reunion group One Last Wish, and Happy Go Licky.\n\nFugazi\n\nCanty was a founding member of Fugazi, as their drummer, from 1987 and recorded and toured with the group until their \"indefinite hiatus\" in 2003.\n\nMany of Fugazi's songs since Repeater are based on guitar riffs introduced at rehearsals by Canty. An adept multi-instrumentalist, Canty also writes songs on piano (he plays a skeletal version of \"Bed for the Scraping\" on the Instrument DVD), as well as bass lines for some songs. He is also noted for using a large farmers bell as part of his drum kit.\n\nSoundtrack work, film scoring, directing and side projects\nCanty frequently composes soundtrack music, primarily for documentaries, often with National Geographic and Discovery Channel. He also contributes to or helps produce other Washington D.C.-area recordings. During Fugazi's post-2002 hiatus, Canty took part in a side project, Garland of Hours, with vocalist/cellist/keyboardist Amy Domingues and drummer/percussionist Jerry Busher, both of whom have contributed to Fugazi recordings and performances. Their first self-titled album was released on the Arrest Records label founded by Busher and Canty's younger brother James, formerly of Nation of Ulysses.\nHe presently has a band with Joe Lally of Fugazi called The Messthetics, and tours with Wayne Kramer in his revival of the MC5 called MC50.\n\nCanty's score for the Sundance Channel documentary series The Hill premiered on August 23, 2006. Canty was the sole composer on Hard Time, for National Geographic for all four seasons from 2009 to 2012. Also, the composer on two of ESPN's 30 for 30's: Angry Sky, and Birth of Big Air. He scored the film Frank Serpico. He continues to score film and television and commercials.\n\nIn 2004, Canty and director Christoph Green co-founded the film Production company Trixie to release an ongoing series of music-related films entitled Burn to Shine. The series involves independent alternative music bands from a particular region showing up to perform one song live, without overdubs or corrections, in a house that is about to be demolished. The first volume was filmed in Canty's home region of Washington, D.C., and features performances from Bob Mould, Weird War, Q and Not U, Ted Leo, French Toast, Medications, fellow Fugazi member Ian MacKaye's side project The Evens, and Garland of Hours. A second volume, filmed in the Chicago area, was released in 2005, and a third filmed in Portland, Oregon came out August 20, 2006.\n\nIn late 2004 and early 2005, Canty contributed drum tracks to Bob Mould's 2005 solo album, Body of Song. Canty was also the drummer for many dates on the winter 2005/2006 tour in support of the album. Canty returned as the drummer for Bob Mould's District Line, released February 2008. Using the same crew and filming style as on the Burn to Shine series, Canty and Green made a concert film of a Bob Mould show, entitled \"Circle of Friends.\" Canty produced the film and played drums during the show, which took place at Washington D.C.'s 9:30 Club. In 2006, Canty and Green also madeSunken Treasure: Live in the Pacific Northwest, a 2006 Jeff Tweedy (Wilco) tour film, and the Wilco tour film Ashes of American Flags, which was released in 2009 and toured festivals extensively, eventually being broadcast on the Sundance Channel in the US, and being released on DVD and iTunes.\n\nHe produced Ted Leo and the Pharmacists's Living With the Living and The Tyranny of Distance albums. He also produced Benjy Ferree, The Thermals's The Body, The Blood, The Machine, and French Toast records, as well as mixing the self-titled debut album for The Aquarium. In 2011, he directed long-time friend Eddie Vedder's new solo performance DVD release, Water on the Road, and took the drums for Vedder's cover of \"All Along the Watchtower\".\n\nInfluence\nIn 2007, Stylus Magazine ranked Canty at No. 29 on their list of the \"50 Greatest Rock Drummers\" based on his drumming work with Fugazi. In a 2015 interview drummer Joe Wong stated seeing Fugazi was a formative experience.\n\nPersonal life\nHis siblings include James Canty and writer Kevin Canty.

"Fugazi (; ) was an American punk rock band formed in Washington, D.C., in 1986. The band consisted of guitarists and vocalists Ian MacKaye and Guy Picciotto, bassist Joe Lally, and drummer Brendan Canty. They were noted for their style-transcending music, DIY ethical stance, manner of business practice, and contempt for the music industry.\n\nFugazi performed numerous worldwide tours and produced six studio albums, a film, and a comprehensive live series, gaining the band critical acclaim and success around the world. Highly influential on punk and alternative music, the band has been on an indefinite hiatus since 2003.\n\nHistory\n\nFormation and early years (1986–1989)\nAfter the hardcore punk group Minor Threat dissolved, MacKaye (vocals and guitar) was active with a few short-lived groups, most notably Embrace. He decided he wanted a project that was \"like the Stooges with reggae\", but was wary about forming another band after Embrace's breakup. MacKaye recalled, \"My interests were not necessarily to be in a band, but to be with people who wanted to play music with me.\"\n\nMacKaye recruited ex-Dag Nasty drummer Colin Sears and bass guitarist Lally, and the trio began practicing together in September 1986. After a few months of rehearsals, Sears returned to Dag Nasty and was replaced by Canty (earlier of Rites of Spring). One day, Picciotto, Canty's Rites of Spring bandmate, dropped by during a practice session to see how his friend was getting along; he later admitted he secretly harbored the idea of joining the group. But Picciotto was disappointed that there seemed to be no place for him.\n\nAfter some uncertainty from Canty about what he wanted to do with his future, the trio regrouped and booked their first show at the Wilson Center in early September 1987. The group still needed a name, so MacKaye chose the word \"fugazi\" from Mark Baker's Nam, a compilation of stories of Vietnam War veterans, in there being a slang acronym for \"Fucked Up, Got Ambushed, Zipped In [a body bag]\".\n\nThe band began inviting Picciotto to practices. Inspired by the use of a foil in hip hop, Picciotto sang backup vocals. After his band Happy Go Licky broke up, he became more involved with Fugazi. MacKaye eventually asked Picciotto to become a full member, and he accepted.\n\nFugazi EP & Margin Walker – 13 Songs (1988–1989)\nFugazi embarked on its first tour in January 1988. In June 1988 the band recorded its debut EP Fugazi with producer Ted Niceley and producer/engineer Don Zientara (who became a longtime collaborator), and shortly afterward embarked on an arduous tour of Europe.\n\nAt the tour's conclusion in December, the band recorded songs for its intended debut album. But the band was exhausted from touring and found the resulting sessions were unsatisfactory. The track list was cut down to an EP and released as Margin Walker the next year. Both EPs were eventually combined into the 13 Songs release in late 1989. Upon the band's return from Europe, Picciotto, unsatisfied with singing, began playing guitar too.\n\nRepeater and Steady Diet of Nothing (1990–1992)\n\nWith Picciotto playing guitar full-time, Fugazi made the transition into jamming and writing new material as a band as opposed to performing songs composed solely by MacKaye. In addition to working on new material, songs they had been performing live were refined, such as \"Merchandise\" and \"Turnover\", for inclusion on their first official full-length studio album.\n\nReleased on April 19, 1990, through Dischord Records, Repeater did not initially reach the Billboard 200 charts or become a commercial success. But the band spent most of 1990 and 1991 touring heavily behind Repeater, performing 250 concerts between March 1990 and June 1991, routinely selling out 1,000-plus capacity venues throughout the world. By summer 1991, the album sold more than 300,000 copies, a large number for a label that relied on minimal promotion. Major labels began to court Fugazi, but the band stayed with Dischord. It was critically well received and featured an alternative rock sound that predated significant releases such as Nirvana's Nevermind and Pearl Jam's Ten, which unexpectedly broke the genre into the mainstream.\n\nFor Fugazi's second studio album, Steady Diet of Nothing, released in July 1991, the band again asked Ted Niceley to produce. Niceley had become a chef and had to reluctantly turn down the job, so the band decided to produce the record itself. After the success of Repeater and its subsequent world tour, Steady Diet was highly anticipated. Six months before its release Dischord had more than 160,000 pre-orders for the album.\n\nIn on the Kill Taker and Red Medicine (1993–1996)\nFugazi recorded its third album, In on the Kill Taker, in the fall of 1992 with Steve Albini in Chicago, but the results were deemed unsatisfactory and the band rerecorded the album with Niceley and Don Zientara. With the breakthrough of alternative rock in the early 1990s, In on the Kill Taker; released on June 30, 1993, became the group's first record to enter the Billboard album charts, receiving critical praise from Spin, Time and Rolling Stone, and becoming the band's breakthrough album.\n\nBy the In on the Kill Taker tour, the group began to sell out large auditoriums and arenas and receive more lucrative major label offers. During its sold-out 3-night stint at New York City's Roseland Ballroom in September 1993, music mogul and Atlantic Records president Ahmet Ertegun met with the band backstage in an attempt to sign them. Ertegun offered the band \"anything you want\", their own subsidiary label and more than $10 million just to sign with Atlantic. Fugazi declined. The organizers of Lollapalooza also attempted to recruit the band for a headlining slot on its 1993 tour, which the band considered but ultimately turned down.\n\nFugazi began writing the material for Red Medicine in late 1994, after touring in support of In on the Kill Taker. The band worked with Zientara but chose not to work with Niceley again. Fugazi opted to retreat from the in-your-face production values of In on the Kill Taker and instead worked to create an ambient sound that displayed greater range and depth. To achieve this, the band handled production duties itself, and in doing so, became more confident with in-studio experimentation. Red Medicine took Fugazi a step further toward art rock. The band began an extensive worldwide tour in support of the album, playing 172 shows between March 1995 and November 1996.\n\nEnd Hits and The Argument (1997–2002)\nAfter the grueling worldwide tour the band completed in support of Red Medicine, Fugazi took an extended break and also began writing material for a follow-up release. By March 1997 Fugazi had once again returned to Inner Ear Studios with Zientara to begin recording what became End Hits, with the intention of taking a more relaxed approach to recording and a longer amount of time to experiment with different songs and techniques in the studio. The group ultimately spent 7 months recording the album. Due to the title, rumors began circulating at the time that it was to be their last release. Released on April 28, 1998, the album was commercially successful and marked one of the band's highest debuts yet on the Billboard charts. Critical reaction to End Hits was mixed. Many critics praised its heavier tracks, while others questioned the inclusion of the group's longer, more experimental songs.\n\nFugazi began work on The Argument in 1999. This process saw the group taking more time than usual to write and demo material. Each member brought his own riffs and ideas to the band, jammed on them, and then began piecing the songs together into various configurations before deciding on the final versions. The album's recording sessions took place between January and April 2001 at Inner Ear Studios and Dischord House in Arlington, Virginia. The band once again worked with Zientara. During the recording process a considerable amount of time was spent finalizing each song's production, in particular the album's drum tracks, in an effort to give it a unique feel. Canty told Modern Drummer, \"We recorded them all very differently in terms of the drum sounds. We used a lot of different drum kits, cymbals, snares, and ways of miking.\"\n\nThe Argument was released by Dischord Records on October 16, 2001, along with the EP Furniture + 2. Arion Berger of Rolling Stone called the album \"bracing\" and \"intellectual\" and Chris True of AllMusic \"spine-tingling and ear-shattering all at once\", writing, \"the band has raised the bar for themselves and others once again.\" He also wrote that the album had \"touched on strange new territory\". By this point Fugazi was on tour less, due in large part to other professional and personal commitments. It performed only 32 shows in 2001 and 2002. Even though the number of performances dwindled, during Fugazi's last tour they performed in front of over roughly 70,000 people.\n\nIndefinite hiatus and reunion rumours (2003–present)\nFugazi went on what it has called an \"indefinite hiatus\" after the conclusion of its 2002 UK tour following three sold-out nights at the London Forum on November 2–4, 2002. The hiatus was brought on by the band members' insistence on spending more time with their families and pursuing other professional projects.\n\nSince Fugazi went on hiatus in 2003, rumors began circulating about a reunion, with some insinuating that the band may get back together to headline the Coachella Festival. While the band has confirmed that it has been offered large sums of money to reunite and headline festivals, such as Coachella, it has so far declined the offers.\n\nIn March 2011, MacKaye reiterated that Fugazi has \"been offered insane amounts of money to play reunions, but it's not going to be money that brings us back together, we would only play music together if we wanted to play music together and time allowed it\".\n\nIn November 2011, when asked by The A.V. Club about the possibility of a reunion and a follow up to 2001's The Argument, Lally said, \"The Argument was a great record that we should try and top. It'll take some time to come together and everything. To do that, we'd have to, the way the four of us are, we would take quite some time, I think, reassociating ourselves musically, and then just letting it come about naturally, because it would have to be a natural thing. So we'll just see.\"\n\nIn August 2014, Dischord announced the official release of First Demo, an album featuring 11 demo songs recorded in January 1988. The announcement included a preview of the demo for the Fugazi track \"Merchandise\". The album was released on November 18, 2014.\n\nMacKaye insisted in a 2017 interview that Fugazi is not, in fact, broken up. While he admits any future public performance will have to contend with various confounding factors, the members have occasionally played music together, privately, since their 2003 hiatus. On March 21, 2018, in an interview on Vish Khanna's Kreative Kontrol podcast, Lally confirmed the band's irregular practice of casual get-togethers. He stated: \"Yeah, when we're all in D.C., we totally hang out together and talk and spend a lot of time laughing. We have a great time together, go out to dinner, and we'll play some music together.\" Lally also stated that additional public performances or tours were unlikely: \"There's so much to try to look after to allow Fugazi to do anything, that we do not have the time to give it the respect that it deserves. So unfortunately, it is where it is.\"\n\nOn February 13, 2019, Louder Sound asked Lally and Canty about the possibility of Fugazi returning, Lally responded \"You never want to say never about anything, because how can you say that about the future? But there does seem to be a lack of time to allow it to happen, because the four of us would have to spend a lot of time together to figure out, 'Should we play old songs?' 'Who are we now?' 'What is it now?' We are not the kind of band to get together and just rehearse two hours of old songs to go out and play it, rake in the dough and come home.\" Canty added, \"If we got back together it would have to be from the spirit of creativity. It would be different if we got back together.\"\n\nSide projects and related work\nIn the hiatus, the members undertook side projects, with MacKaye forming the duo the Evens with drummer and singer Amy Farina (formerly of the Warmers).\n\nIn 2004, MacKaye produced the DC EP for Red Hot Chili Peppers guitarist John Frusciante, which also featured Jerry Busher.\n\nCanty has been doing a variety of soundtrack scores and playing bass in the trio Garland Of Hours alongside frequent Fugazi guest contributors Jerry Busher and Amy Domingues, and has played bass live with Mary Timony. Canty also appears on Bob Mould's 2005 album Body of Song and on Mould's 2008 album District Line, and has toured with Mould, appearing in the live DVD Circle of Friends. He is currently working in the Burn to Shine DVD series which is being released by Trixie DVD. Now, he is playing in Deathfix alongside Devin Ocampo (Medications, Faraquet, Smart Went Crazy, Beauty Pill), Rich Morel (Bob Mould, Blow Off) and Mark Cisneros (Medications, the Make-Up). They will release their album in February 2013 on Dischord Records.\n\nLally has released three solo albums, There to Here (2006), Nothing Is Underrated (2007), and Why Should I Get Used To It (2011). He has also appeared on fellow DC post-punkers Decahedron's debut album Disconnection_Imminent, as well as on a project with Red Hot Chili Peppers guitarists John Frusciante and Josh Klinghoffer, known as Ataxia. The group has recorded two albums, Automatic Writing (2004) and AW II (2007).\n\nPicciotto currently works as a record producer most notably with Blonde Redhead and the Blood Brothers, and he has performed alongside members of the Ex at the Jazz festival in Wels, Austria. Picciotto also contributed guitar on two Vic Chesnutt albums, 2007's \"North Star Deserter and 2009's At the Cut (co-producing the latter), for Constellation Records and performed live with Chesnutt and members of Thee Silver Mount Zion Memorial Orchestra and the Quavers in Jem Cohen's program entitled, \"Evening's Civil Twilight in Empires of Tin at the Vienna International Film Festival (Viennale) in 2007 (a DVD of the program was released in 2009). Picciotto played guitar on Chesnutt's Fall/Winter 2009 North American Tour. He has a daughter with musician Kathi Wilcox from the band Bikini Kill and the Frumpies.\n\nIn July 2011, Minneapolis based record label Doomtree released an album of mash-ups between Fugazi and east coast veteran rap crew the Wu-Tang Clan. The album is titled 13 Chambers, group name Wugazi. However, Fugazi itself did not have any involvement with the release. Bassist Joe Lally was asked about his thoughts on the Wugazi release, and stated \"I think they could've found better Fugazi pieces to sample with Wu-Tang guys rapping on it. I mean, it's enjoyable, and I do appreciate it for the fact that somebody enjoys our music enough to bring it into that. But, you know, I don't know. I guess I should shut up, because I suppose I'm about to run into these people at the Fun Fun Fun Fest festival and talk to them. But I'm afraid that is my opinion on it. It's like, get better samples of our stuff, do better work.\"\n\nIn October 2012, Chris Lawhorn released Fugazi Edits. The album includes 22 instrumental tracks, which sample 100 songs from Fugazi's discography. As in other cases, the band had no involvement in the production. But, the album was authorized for release by MacKaye, with the proceeds going to charity.\n\nIn 2016, Canty and Lally joined with guitarist Anthony Pirog to form the Messthetics, Canty and Lally's first project together since Fugazi's hiatus.\nIn March 2018, the Messthetics released their self-titled debut album and embarked upon a tour of the US and Japan. The band toured further and released a second album entitled Anthropocosmic Nest in 2019.\n\nIn 2018, Ian MacKaye, Amy Farina and Joe Lally debuted a new band. In February 2020, it was announced that the band, now called Coriky, would release their first album on March 27, 2020. The debut single, \"Clean Kill\", was released on February 11, 2020. The band previewed their album at a free show in D.C.'s St. Stephen and the Incarnation Episcopal Church on February 22, 2020. Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the release of Coriky was delayed to June 12, 2020, in part to accommodate independent record stores closed due to the pandemic. Upon release the record was favorable reviewed in a few publications; often drawing comparisons and contrasts with MacKaye and Farina's other band the Evens, as well as Fugazi.\n\nLive performances\n\nBetween 1987 and 2003, Fugazi played over 1000 concerts in all 50 US states and all over the world. Over 800 of these shows were recorded by the band's sound engineers. Beginning in 2004 and continuing into 2005, Fugazi launched a 30 CD Live Series that featured concerts from various points in their career, which were made available for sale via Dischord Records. Continuing with the live series concept and after several years of development on December 1, 2011, Fugazi launched a comprehensive Live Series website through Dischord Records that features 750 recordings available for download at the suggested price of $5 each or a \"pay what you want\" sliding scale option for each download between $1–100 with the goal of eventually making all 800 of the shows that have been recorded available for purchase. For $500 fans can also purchase an \"All Access\" privilege which will include access to any future concerts and downloads added to the site.\n\nWhile each concert was professionally mastered, the recordings capture everything that happened onstage and for preservation's sake the band chose not to edit anything out, singer/guitarist Guy Picciotto explained to the New York Times, \"We liked this idea of, 'Let's just let it be everything,' ... There doesn't have to be the idea that this is the great, golden document. It's all there, and it's not cleaned up. You get what you get.\" The sound quality also varies as the earliest recordings were made to cassettes, then eventually digital formats such as DAT, CD-R and ultimately hard-drives were used. Each concert page also includes flyers, photographs and ticket stubs. As a career-spanning archival project, the Fugazi Live Series has few equals, putting the band in the company of acts like the Grateful Dead, Phish and Pearl Jam, three notable examples of other artists with such a large volume of concerts available for purchase.\n\nMusical style\nFugazi's style has been described as post-hardcore, art punk, alternative rock, and experimental rock. Fugazi's music was an intentional departure from that of the hardcore punk bands the members had played in previously. Fugazi combined punk with funk and reggae beats, irregular stop-start song structures, and heavy riffs inspired by popular rock bands such as Led Zeppelin and Queen, bands that the punk community of the time largely disdained. When questioned by Guitar World in 2002 about the band's influences, singer/guitarist Ian MacKaye responded, \"Too many to mention. And not just from the last few years. Some of them predate us by decades, and most of them wouldn't be punk. I would hope any musician would be inspired by a lot of different kinds of music.\" In a 2004 interview with Indonesian magazine Deathrockstar, Picciotto named \"D.C. groups\" such as Bad Brains (\"who inspired all of us so much at the beginning\"), the Faith and Void as influences, in addition to Minutemen, Black Flag, Sonic Youth, the Ex and the Beatles, the latter of which all the members \"share[d] a major love for\". Despite this, he similarly conceded that \"[i]ts [sic] impossible to narrow it down to one band or record because we didn't just crib from one blueprint, we were grabbing ideas from all over the place and then filtering them through our own limited and personally shaped skills.\"\n\nPicciotto became the group's second guitarist when he realized MacKaye's typically chunky, low-end riffs and Lally's dub-influenced basslines allowed him to focus on high-pitched parts. In both vocal and guitar roles, Picciotto assumed the role of a foil to MacKaye; employing a Rickenbacker guitar for its scratchy single-coil sound in order to \"cut through MacKaye's chunky chording like a laser beam.\" Their inventine, interlocking guitarwork often defies the traditional notion of \"lead\" and \"rhythm\" guitars and features unusual and dissonant chords and progressions filtered through a hardcore punk lens. Later, Fugazi more fully integrated elements of punk rock, hardcore, soul and noise with an inventively syncopated rhythm section.\n\nPicciotto's assumption of guitar duties allowed all four members of the band to jam together and write songs that way, where previously they had played songs largely as MacKaye had arranged them. When writing songs, the band often rearranges them with different structures and different singers. Spin has listed MacKaye and Picciotto together at No. 86 on their list of the 100 Greatest Guitarists of All Time for their unique and interlocking guitar style in Fugazi.\n\nGenerally, MacKaye's lyrics and singing are more direct and anthemic (MacKaye admits that he loves audience sing-alongs and writes songs with shout-able slogans), while Picciotto usually favors a more abstract, oblique approach. Lally has contributed vocals to a few songs as well, in which he sings in a more relaxed, quiet style as opposed to MacKaye and Picciotto, whose lyrics and vocals often feature strong emotional intensity. \n\nEach of Fugazi's albums since Repeater have featured an instrumental. By the time of 1995's Red Medicine bassist Joe Lally also began contributing vocals to the band and the group was implementing many of their broader influences into the overall sound. Critics Ian McCaleb and Ira Robbins declared that Fugazi's music combined an \"unprecedented dynamic range ... and previously unimagined elements\" such as \"clattering musique concrète ... piano and sound effects ... murky dub and lancing clarinet\" and \"loose-limbed jammy funk ... into an ambitious, experimental format that raises more stylistic questions than it answers.\"\n\nBusiness practices\nOn their first tours, Fugazi worked out its DIY ethic by trial and error. Their decisions were partly motivated by pragmatic considerations that were essentially a punk rock version of simple living: for example, selling merchandise on tour would require a full-time merchandise salesperson who would require lodging, food, and other costs, so Fugazi decided to simplify their touring by not selling merchandise. The band was also motivated by moral or ethical considerations: for example, Fugazi's members regarded pricey admission for rock concerts as tantamount to price gouging a performer's most loyal fans. Fugazi's inexpensive target goal of $5 admission was spawned during a conversation on an early tour when the band's members were debating the lowest profitable admission price. Everett True has said that MacKaye and Fugazi \"had a mind-set that believed that any involvement with the system was corrupting and that you should create completely alternative structures outside\".\n\nIn later years, Fugazi was unable to negotiate ticket prices below about $10–$15 total. However, it never saw the $5 rule as inviolable, instead aiming to charge a price that was both affordable and profitable. Unlike some similar, independent rock contemporaries, Fugazi's performances and tours were always profitable, due to the group's popularity, low business overhead costs, and MacKaye's keen sense of audience response in given regions. Many times the band performed sold-out shows multiple consecutive nights at the same venue.\n\nFugazi's early tours earned it a strong word-of-mouth reputation, both for its powerful performances, and also for the band's eagerness to play in unusual venues. The group sought out alternatives to traditional rock clubs partly to relieve the boredom of touring, but also hoping to show fans that there are other options to traditional ways of doing things. As Picciotto said, \"You find the Elks Lodge, you find the guy who's got a space in the back of his pizzeria, you find the guy who has a gallery. Kids will do that stuff because they want to make stuff happen.\"\n\nThe group (MacKaye in particular) also made a point of discouraging violent, unwanted slam dancing and fistfights, which it saw as relics of the late 1970s/early 1980s hardcore punk era. Michael Azerrad quotes Mackaye, \"See, [slam dancers] have one form of communication: violence ... So to disorient them, you don't give them violence. I'd say, 'Excuse me, sir ...'- I mean, it freaks them out – 'Excuse me, sir, would you please cut that crap out?'\" Azerrad writes, \"[MacKaye's] admonitions seemed preachy to some. And by and large, people would obey – it wasn't cool to disrespect Ian MacKaye.\" Occasionally, Fugazi would have an unrepentant slam-dancer escorted from the concert, and give them an envelope containing a $5 refund (the group kept a stock of such envelopes in their tour van for these occasions).\n\nDuring the summer of 1990 MacKaye formed the corporation Lunar Atrocities Ltd. in order to shield his own and his bandmates' personal assets from the threat of lawsuits. As MacKaye's financial advisor, Seth Martin, explained to The Washington Post in a 1993 interview: \"protection from liability is the main reason to form a corporation, and for these guys it makes sense. If someone got hurt stage-diving and decided to sue, it would be harder to go after their personal assets.\"\n\nInfluence and legacy\n\nFugazi's music and ethics have been immensely influential on punk and alternative music throughout the years, and has earned the band praise from many notable musicians as well. Sublime \"thanked\" the band by namedropping them on their debut album. At the Drive-In called the band an influence on their own music, as did other notable post-hardcore bands such as Refused, Quicksand, Drive Like Jehu, Mclusky, and Cursive. John Frusciante named them an influence on Red Hot Chili Peppers' Californication and on his solo album The Will to Death. Nirvana cited the band as an influence, and Kurt Cobain - who was friends with the members of Fugazi - was even spotted in a popular photo of the band with the word \"Fugazi\" misspelt on both shoes. Eddie Vedder of Pearl Jam remarked that witnessing the band live \"was a life-changing experience\" for him. Reportedly a huge fan, Elliott Smith was \"super-obsessed\" with the band and later admitted that his former band Heatmiser was \"trying to be Fugazi\". The Smiths guitarist Johnny Marr offered the band praise, and called MacKaye one of his favorite guitarists. Towards the end of his life, Joe Strummer, lead vocalist of the Clash, recognized Fugazi as the band that best exemplified \"the spirit of punk\" in a 2000 Rolling Stone interview, besides offering them accolades on several other occasions. In 1993, Joey Ramone of the Ramones picked the band as a favorite, labeling them a \"great social conscience\".\n\nGraham Coxon of Blur recalls his introduction to bands such as Fugazi (and the Picciotto-led Rites of Spring) in the mid 90s as being one of the most musically significant moments of his life: \"They used the guitar in an incredible way; making quite restrained noisy music, which I'd never heard English bands doing.\" Jim Adkins of Jimmy Eat World named both MacKaye and Picciotto as an influence on his guitar playing as they made him \"more open to the ideas behind guitar playing, as opposed to the technical difficulty of it.\". Daniel Kessler of Interpol was also influenced by the band in his guitar-playing, as was Ben Weinman of the Dillinger Escape Plan and Colin Frangicetto of Circa Survive. Tim Commerford of Rage Against the Machine found the band's music on Repeater revelatory, as did Steve Holmes of American Football. Tom DeLonge of Blink-182 called the band a big influence as they \"stood for something and never varied from that path.\" \"Fugazi was probably my biggest influence as far as wanting to start a band\", Modest Mouse founding member Jeremiah Green admitted, \"It was really great music and just sounded like something I could possibly do.\" Gareth Liddiard, lead vocalist and guitarist of both the Drones and Tropical Fuck Storm, named Fugazi (amongst many others) as an influence on his guitar-playing, and praised the band's live performances. When asked to name some of his favorite records or discographies, Brian Cook of Botch (and later Russian Circles) included the band's entire discography amongst others. Gogol Bordello's Eugene Hutz called the band's debut EP \"probably the best I ever heard. It's so together and everything sits in the right place.\" Jeff Rosenstock not only called the band a big influence on his music, but also on his strict DIY business practices & ethics. Sunny Day Real Estate cited the band as an influence for similar reasons.\n\nIn addition, the band was a formative influence on Tool bassist Justin Chancellor, Sepultura vocalist Derrick Green, Jack White, Daniel Johns of Silverchair, Carrie Brownstein of Sleater-Kinney, Sara Lund of Unwound, Iceage, Thursday, ...And You Will Know Us by the Trail of Dead, Dylan Baldi of Cloud Nothings, Arcade Fire lead singer Win Butler, Travis Morrison of the Dismemberment Plan, Efrim Menuck of Godspeed You!

"Vicky Cristina Barcelona is a 2008 romantic comedy-drama film written and directed by Woody Allen. The film stars Javier Bardem, Penélope Cruz, Rebecca Hall and Scarlett Johansson in lead roles. The plot centers on two American women, Vicky and Cristina, who spend a summer in Barcelona, where they meet an artist, Juan Antonio, who is attracted to both of them, while still enamored of his mentally and emotionally unstable ex-wife María Elena. The film was shot in Spain in Barcelona, Avilés, and Oviedo, and was Allen's fourth consecutive film shot outside the United States.\n\nVicky Cristina Barcelona premiered at the 2008 Cannes Film Festival, and then received a rolling worldwide general release that started on August 15, 2008, in the United States, and continued in various countries until its June 2009 release in Japan. The film emerged as a commercial success at the box office, becoming one of Allen's highest-grossing films. It received widespread critical acclaim upon release, with particular praise directed towards Cruz's performance.\n\nCruz won both the Academy Award and BAFTA Award for Best Supporting Actress, in addition to a Screen Actors Guild Award nomination in the same category. At the 66th Golden Globe Awards, Vicky Cristina Barcelona received 4 nominations, including Best Actor – Musical or Comedy (Bardem), Best Actress – Musical or Comedy (Hall) and Best Supporting Actress (Cruz), and won Best Film – Musical or Comedy.\n\nPlot\nVicky and Cristina visit Barcelona for the summer, staying with Vicky's distant relative Judy and her husband Mark. While the two are great friends, Vicky is practical and traditional in her approach to love and commitment and is engaged to the reliable Doug, whereas Cristina imagines herself to be a nonconformist, spontaneous but unsure of what she wants from life or love.\n\nAt an art exhibition, Cristina is intrigued by artist Juan Antonio, who Judy says has suffered a violent relationship with his ex-wife. Later, he brazenly approaches Vicky and Cristina to invite them to join him right away for the weekend in the city of Oviedo, in a small plane he flies himself, for sight-seeing, fine eating and drinking, and hopefully, having sex with both young women. Cristina is won over by the offer almost at once, but Vicky is unimpressed and reluctant; she, however, eventually decides to accompany her friend anyway, mainly to watch over her.\n\nAt the end of their first day, Vicky refuses to join Juan Antonio in his hotel room, citing her fidelity to Doug, but Cristina accepts his invitation immediately. Right before they want to hook up, Cristina suddenly falls ill with digestive complaints, and is put to bed, with food poisoning. Vicky and Juan Antonio proceed to spend the weekend together alone while they wait for Cristina to recover. Vicky gradually changes her opinion of Juan Antonio as he tells her about his tumultuous relationship with his ex-wife, María Elena. Vicky accompanies him to visit his father, an old poet, and then becomes deeply moved by a Spanish guitar performance later that evening. She finally gives in to Juan Antonio's advances as they walk through a grove of trees in the dark. The next day, with Cristina feeling better, the three of them fly back to Barcelona.\n\nFeeling guilty, Vicky does not mention the incident to Cristina, and the two begin to grow apart. Vicky starts throwing herself into her studies while Cristina and Juan Antonio take up a relationship. Cristina then moves in with Juan Antonio and begins to discover more about his past. After learning that María Elena attempted to kill herself, Juan Antonio takes her to his home, where Cristina already lives. After some defiance, the two women grow fond of each other. Cristina realizes that the ex-spouses are still in love, and María Elena suggests that Cristina may be the element that can give balance and stability to their relationship. All three become romantically involved with one another.\n\nIn the meantime, Vicky is joined in Spain by an enthusiastic Doug and the two get married. When Cristina describes her new life with Juan Antonio to Vicky, Vicky becomes secretly jealous, and after a few other awkward moments, she realizes she is unsatisfied in her married life and is still attracted to Juan Antonio. Learning that Judy is similarly unhappy in her marriage, she confides to her, and Judy, who sees her younger self in Vicky, decides to bring Juan Antonio and Vicky together. Meanwhile, Cristina becomes restless and at some point decides to leave Juan Antonio and María Elena; without her, their relationship quickly falls apart again.\n\nAs the summer winds to a close, Judy arranges for Juan Antonio and Vicky to meet at a party. Juan Antonio begs Vicky to meet him again privately before leaving Spain, which she finally accepts, lying to Doug in the process. At his home, Juan Antonio seduces and wins Vicky over again, but they are interrupted by María Elena who bursts in with a gun, firing wildly as Juan Antonio tries to calm her. Vicky gets shot in the hand in the process, and leaves, shouting they are insane and she could never live like this. She confesses the entire story to Cristina, who never realized how Vicky felt about Juan Antonio, and wishes she could have helped her. Doug, Vicky and Cristina return to the United States; Doug never learns what truly happened, Vicky goes back to her married life, and Cristina is back where she started, still unsure of what she wants from life or love.\n\nCast\n\nSpanish actor Joan Pera, who dubbed Allen's voice in the Spanish-language versions of his previous films, makes a cameo appearance.\n\nProduction\nIn 2007, controversy arose in Catalonia over the public funding granted to the film, as the high-profile film was presumed not to have needed it; Barcelona's city hall provided one million euro and the Generalitat de Catalunya (Government of Catalonia) half a million, or ten percent of the film's budget.\n\nThis was the third time Allen and Johansson had worked together, following Match Point (2005) and Scoop (2006). This also marked the second time Hall and Johansson had worked together, the first time being in The Prestige (2006).\n\nThe film featured several paintings by Catalan artist Agustí Puig and included several examples of the work of architect Antoni Gaudí, including his Park Güell.\n\nReception\n\nBox office\nVicky Cristina Barcelona grossed $23.2 million in the United States and Canada, and $73.2 million in other territories, for a worldwide first of $96 million, against its $15 million budget. It is one of Allen's highest-grossing films.\n\nCritical response\nOn Rotten Tomatoes the film holds an approval rating of 80% based on 213 reviews, with an average rating of 6.9/10. The site's critics consensus reads: \"A beguiling tragicomedy, Vicky Cristina Barcelona charms with beautiful views of the Spanish city and a marvelously well-matched cast.\" Metacritic assigned the film a weighted average score of 70 out of 100, based on 36 critics, indicating \"generally favorable reviews\".\n\nScott Tobias wrote in The A.V. Club that it was \"a witty and ambiguous film that's simultaneously intoxicating and suffused with sadness and doubt.\" Richard Roeper suggested that Cruz should receive an Academy Award nomination for her performance in the film. Mick LaSalle of the San Francisco Chronicle praised the film as \"the work of a confident and mature artist\", referring to Allen. Manohla Dargis of The New York Times wrote \"Although Vicky Cristina Barcelona trips along winningly, carried by the beauty of its locations and stars — and all the gauzy romanticism those enchanted places and people imply — it reverberates with implacable melancholy, a sense of loss.\" Richard Corliss ended his review of the film with \"Vicky Cristina Barcelona has neither the sardonic heft of Max Ophüls's La Ronde (1950) nor the emotional precision of Ingmar Bergman's Smiles of a Summer Night (1955), two films that also dance the change-partners gavotte. But the film is so engaging so much of the time that it feels like a modest rejuvenation: evidence that a summer in Spain can do wonders for a writer-director who may not have outlived his prime.\" Ian Freer of Empire gave the film 4 out of 5, and wrote \"within Allen's recent output, Vicky Cristina Barcelona is a highlight. See it for beautiful locales, an ambivalent look at human relationships and a clutch of great performances, particularly from Cruz.\"\n\nAccolades\nThe film appeared on many critics' top-ten lists of the best films of 2008 including;\n\n 5th – David Denby, The New Yorker\n 5th – Ray Bennett, The Hollywood Reporter\n 5th – Bob Mondello, NPR\n 7th – Joe Morgenstern, The Wall Street Journal\n 7th – Keith Phipps, The A.V.

"Gabriel Allon is the main protagonist in Daniel Silva's thriller and espionage series that focuses on Israeli intelligence. The main characters refer to their employer as 'the Office', although it is not specified that it is Mossad (known internally in the Israeli intelligence community as HaMisrad [עברית: המשרד], literally 'the Office'). Allon's career began in 1972 when he, Eli Lavon and several others were plucked from civilian life by Ari Shamron to participate in Operation Wrath of God, an act of vengeance to hunt down and eliminate those responsible for killing the Israeli athletes in Munich. Wrath of God is referenced in the books throughout the course of his life.\n\nCharacter biography\nAllon is portrayed as a sabra whose first language was German. He was raised Jewish, albeit in a secular home in the Jezreel Valley, and was not familiar with Shabbat candles until he saw them as an adult. That his parents, specifically his mother Irene, were Holocaust survivors (from Berlin) is a thread throughout the series. His mother's unwillingness to discuss her Holocaust experience is often alluded to, it being a part of what makes Allon such a good spy and master of secrets. Beyond his being a Holocaust survivor, not much is known of Allon's father beyond his death in the Six-Day War and that he was born and raised in Munich.\n\nAccording to Shamron, Gabriel's name was chosen for a reason: \"Your mother named you Gabriel for a reason. Michael is the highest [angel], but you, Gabriel, are the mightiest. You're the one who defends Israel against its accusers. You're the angel of judgment -- the Prince of Fire.\"\n\nSeveral books in the series make reference to Allon's linguistic versatility, and it is confirmed that he speaks fluent English, French, German, Hebrew, and Italian as well passable Arabic and Spanish. In Prince of Fire, Silva lets the readers know that German, which Allon speaks with the Berlin accent of his mother, is his first language and remains the language of his dreams. According to press for The English Girl, Allon is in his 60s.\n\nAllon's grandfather was a well-known Berlin-based German Expressionist painter who passed his talents on to his daughter (Gabriel's mother) before he was killed at Auschwitz in January 1943. She, in turn, passed these talents to Gabriel. Allon served in the army and chose to attend the Bezalel Academy of Art and Design.\n\nAt Bezalel in Jerusalem in 1972, Shamron approached Allon to join \"The Office\" and to take part in the retribution operation being carried out by Israel against the Black September terrorists in retaliation for perpetrating the Munich massacre at the 1972 Summer Olympics. Gabriel was one of the primary assassins in the operation conducted across Europe, which lasted three years and resulted in the derailment of Gabriel's then-likely future career as a painter.\n\nIn the aftermath, Allon left The Office and went under cover as Italian art restorer Mario Delvecchio. He lived in Cornwall while working for London-based art dealer Julian Isherwood. However, he was convinced to reluctantly return to The Office while simultaneously continuing to work as Delvecchio in England and Italy as his primary unofficial cover, which also continues to play a large role in Allon's life. After long efforts to resist the move, Gabriel eventually becomes head of The Office.\n\nIn January 1991, while on assignment in Vienna, Allon's car was bombed, resulting in the death of his son and serious injury to his wife, Leah. His wife survived and lived in a psychiatric hospital on Mount Herzl, not far from where their son is buried on the Mount of Olives. Allon felt he had to make peace with Leah's situation before he could propose to, or marry, Chiara, the Italian-born Office field operative who later becomes his second wife. His son's ghost frequently haunts Allon, especially after Chiara's miscarriage following her kidnapping and their ensuing inability to conceive. After several years, Chiara gets pregnant again and delivers twins–a girl Irene, named in memory of Gabriel’s mother, and a boy, Raphael.\n\nReal-life spies that may have inspired some elements of Allon's fictional biography include Peter Malkin and Mike Harari.\n\nReal world impact\nThe books are never explicit in the year in which they're set, but the passage of time roughly matches up to the books' annual releases. However some titles, for example Moscow Rules (2008) and The Defector (2009), take place within greater proximity to one another based on the books' events; the beginning of Portrait of a Spy (2011) actually recaps the last section of The Rembrandt Affair (2010).\n\nThere are many references to real-world events which affect Middle Eastern politics, such as the changing American presidency, 9/11, the death of Osama bin-Laden, the Arab Spring, and so on. While names are changed in the book, the fallout from the assassination of journalist Jamal Khashoggi in the Saudi Arabian Embassy in Istanbul is key to the plot of The New Girl. On the other hand, in The Confessor (2003) Silva invents a fictional Pope Paul VII, a progressive leader who establishes a relationship with Allon in a sort of parallel universe which endures through many books (e.g. in The Fallen Angel (2012) Paul VII has been pope for fourteen years). Terrorists attack the Gare de Lyon (Prince of Fire, 2005) and St. Peter's Basilica (The Messenger, 2006), damaging these monuments in the world of the novels although they remain intact in the real world. \n\nIn an interview that coincided with the release of Moscow Rules, Silva revealed he heard an art professional quote Allon and some real-world news accounts make reference to the Allon series and wonder whether the specific news will become part of the series.\n\nMain characters\n\nGabriel's Team\nAllon's team is known by the code name Barak, the Hebrew word for lightning. and most of his team plays a role throughout the novels in the series. Some of them include:\n\nAri Shamron — former head of the Office. A Polish-born Jew from Lviv, his parents sent him to Israel as a teenager before the war; consequently he was the only member from his entire extended family to survive the Holocaust. Shamron is a father figure and mentor to Gabriel and the person who recruited him into the Office with the three-year Wrath of God operation. To Allon and his team, he's known as the Memuneh (Hebrew for 'the one in charge'). He is officially retired as the head of the Office, but it still remains his private fiefdom; he groomed and raised an entire generation of its officers, many of whom comprise much of the service's current senior management and executive staff. Eventually after the departure of two of his successors, he makes Uzi Navot the director general of the Office after finally giving up trying to perpetually force Gabriel to take the job (who repeatedly refused to accept the position). He is known throughout the Israeli intelligence community as the Old Man, being one of the last remaining members of the generation of spymasters who founded the state back in 1948 and as a result whose advice and counsel is still sought out regularly by the highest ranking leaders of the current Israeli defense and security establishment. While his age isn't explicitly referenced (or consistent through the series) his aging and health is of concern to Allon and his team; it is mentioned many times that he is also an incessant chain-smoker of sixty filthy, vile-smelling Turkish cigarettes daily. Gilah, Ari's long suffering wife, frequently plays a role as a mother figure to Gabriel and his team. Shamron's niece Rimona Stern is a key figure in Gabriel's team. While Shamron's character is clearly based in history (he is known to Gabriel and his team [as well as most Israelis] as the man who apprehended Adolf Eichmann in Buenos Aires) his real-world character is never identified in the novels. However, in an interview, Silva said that Shamron is a composite of several historical figures including Isser Harel, head of Mossad when Eichmann was apprehended. Following this connection, Harel wanted to meet Silva, but they were not able to establish a meeting before Harel died.\nChiara Allon (née Zolli) — Gabriel's wife and now retired Office agent whom he meets in The Confessor. She is the extraordinarily beautiful and intelligent daughter of Venice's chief rabbi. After what happened with his wife and son, he wasn't sure he could ever let himself fall in love with another woman ever again, and it took several years (and the light but unending pressure and reminding of Shamron and his wife) for him to be willing to marry Chiara. When they first meet at her father's office in Venice during the course of his investigation into a Brenzone abbey (in the third book), he does not realize Chiara is a member of the Office, later having been assigned to follow him while he was in Rome. When he escapes while under fire (and wounded) from the Carabinieri who have been sent to apprehend him at a Rome hotel (albeit on a false tip), she saves his life when he is cornered in an Rome alleyway by an assassin in pursuit, appearing at the last moment on a motorcycle, taking him to an Office safehouse where she bandages his wounds and sits awake at his bedside with a pistol in her lap through the night, standing guard over him while he sleeps. She holds a master's degree in history from the University of Padua. Her own background and understanding of art and history as someone who grew up in the Jewish ghetto in Venice is a nice complement to Allon's art restoring work.\nUzi Navot – first appears early in the series as the Office chief of station in Paris, steadily advancing to assume responsibility for supervision for all western European case officers, later director of special operations and as Office director general. He is not viewed as successful in this role and is eventually replaced by Gabriel, who convinces Navot to remain and work under Allon. Like Gabriel, he is the son of Holocaust survivors (albeit several years younger and from a long lineage of Viennese Jews). Also very linguistically versatile; known to be fluent in English, French, German and Hebrew, as well as speaking passable Arabic and Spanish. He eventually marries Bella, his longtime on-and-off lover, who is a university professor in Israel. Uzi's appetite and fluctuating weight is regularly mentioned as a problem for him, as well as Bella's unremitting monitoring and occasional verbal scolding of him for it, much to the amusement of other characters. \nEli Lavon — a former Office agent who is now a professor of biblical archaeology at Hebrew University in Jerusalem. The wispy haired professor is usually on an excavation when Gabriel recruits him to take part in another job. Their history together dates back to Gabriel Allon's first mission, Operation Wrath of God, for which Lavon was an ayin, a tracker and surveillance specialist. He is known as the finest street surveillance operative that the Office has ever produced; No recruit graduates from the Office training academy without spending a few days studying at the feet of Eli Lavon. After the Wrath of God operation he resigned from the Office and moved to Vienna, where until the bombing at the beginning of the 4th novel, he was the director of a very successful Holocaust restitution research and investigative agency named the Bureau of Wartime Claims and Inquiries. Lavon is shown to speak fluent English, German, Hebrew and Russian, as well as passable French. It is stated that Lavon is several years older than Gabriel and that he has known Gabriel longer and better than anyone else among the supporting cast, except Ari Shamron.\nShimon Pazner – Negev-born Office chief of station in Rome (which doubles as headquarters for Office operations throughout the Mediterranean). Usually interacts or meets with Gabriel during operations in Italy. Gabriel's requesting and Pazner's granting of unwarranted favors and Gabriel's subsequent actions usually end up destroying Pazner's goodwill towards him and often nearly his career in the process. \nDina Sarid — an Office research department analyst driven by an attack by a suicide bomber that injured her and killed her mother and two sisters. She still walks with a limp. Her encyclopedic knowledge of names, faces and dates of terrorist attacks is second to none. Is part of the assorted group that comprises Gabriel's Barak team that assembles on short notice in response to occurrences of terrorist attacks and operations.\nRimona Stern—Shamron's niece who Allon has known since she was a child. A major in the IDF's military intelligence directorate, in later books it is stated that she assigned to Israel's joint task force assigned to deal with Iran's increasing imminent nuclear ambitions.\nMikhail Abramov — Moscow-born former special forces officer currently on loan to the Office from the IDF's elite Sayeret Matkal special operations unit. Has been described as Gabriel without a conscience, having dismantled a large portion of the upper echelons of Hamas and Islamic Jihad \"practically by himself\". Was romantically linked to Sarah Bancroft. \nYaakov Rossman — an active case officer in Shabak who serves in the Arab Affairs department, running agents and sources inside the West Bank and Gaza. Speaks fluent Arabic. Known as one of Shabak's most skilled interrogators. \nOded — German-speaking agent often used by Gabriel as an all-purpose operative who specializes in the direct (and often lethal) action portions of Gabriel's operations (kidnappings, interrogations, mobile hit-and-runs, etc.) Usually brought in by Gabriel with Mordecai. \nMordecai — usually brought in by Gabriel with Oded. The primary tech specialist and troubleshooter within Gabriel's team, specializing in vehicular surveillance, communications, and electronics equipment/devices.\n\nCombat/Muscle Section\n\nThere is no part of the team that is actually called that (or something similar) in the series, but what it refers to is the specific members of Gabriel's team that have significant combat training and generally support Gabriel during the more physical and deadly aspects of his operations (armed and hand-to-hand combat, kidnappings, interrogations, and executions) while all the other members of his team stay behind. This usually includes:\nMikhail: (always). As the member of the team with the most advanced combat/special forces training (armed, hand to hand, and otherwise) aside from Gabriel, Mikhail usually acts as Gabriel's motorcycle driver on drive-by hits (or vice versa), as well as his primary partner while executing targets on foot.\nYaakov: an integral part of this section, specializing primarily in conducting interrogations but also usually present while conducting surveillance, armed assaults as well as kidnappings. Occasionally acts as Gabriel's driver. \nUzi: when present. Although not an expert like Gabriel and Mikhail (or always in the best of shape physically), as a katsa Uzi has extensive combat and firearms training. Also as easily the largest man on Gabriel's team in terms of size he is usually the one who breaches the entrances when the element of surprise is no longer a factor. \nOded: when present. Participating in any physical aspects, doing a little of everything.\n\nOther recurring characters\nLeah Allon - like Gabriel, an artist, she was severely burned in the bomb attack that killed their son and left her physically and mentally impaired. Other than for brief instances of lucidity, a combination of depression and post-traumatic stress has left her mind permanently replaying the events leading up to the Vienna bombing. She had been originally placed in a psychiatric hospital in England, but after a kidnapping, she was moved to an Israeli hospital on Mount Herzl.\nSarah Bancroft — CIA officer who worked with Gabriel and his Office team on several assignments. The daughter of a wealthy Citibank executive, she spent most of her early years being educated at the finest boarding schools throughout western Europe, returning to the States to attend university. Holds a bachelor's in art history from Dartmouth; studied at the Courtauld Institute of Art in London before receiving a Ph.D from Harvard, where she was the author of a highly acclaimed doctoral dissertation on the German Expressionists. In the aftermath of the 9/11 attacks (in which her fiancée was killed) she applied to the CIA, but was dismissed. When Carter arranges for Gabriel to meet her during The Messenger as a prospective candidate for an assignment in a joint US-Israeli deep cover operation, she was working as a curator at the Phillips Collection in Washington. Later in the series, after working with him on an operation, she dated Mikhail for a significant period (much to Gabriel's consternation).\nGraham Seymour — the Oxbridge-educated deputy director general of MI5, known to be several years older than Gabriel. Shown to be a very strict by-the-book officer in regards to operational parameters (often legally-speaking) and very much attuned to internal British politics in regards to MI5/MI6. Often very hesitant and wary to grant Gabriel permission to operate on British soil and very quick to reprimand Gabriel's actions and distance himself if their joint operations go awry. Over the course of the series, he begins to see Gabriel and the Israelis in a much more forgiving light, to the point where in the later books he considered Gabriel to be a good and trusted friend, especially after The English Spy, when he becomes the director general of MI6. After UK Prime Minister Jonathan Lancaster's mistress Madeline Hart is kidnapped and vanishes, he turns to Seymour for help, who entrusts Gabriel with the task of investigating. After Gabriel is successful in unearthing the kidnapping plot, the Russian government's involvement, and locating and rescuing Madeline Hart and returning her to London, his esteem for Gabriel increases significantly. \nAdrian Carter – longtime CIA director of operations, later director of clandestine services. Known to be a polyglot. Has a decades-long working relationship with Shamron (known to be several years older than Carter) as well as a strong professional and personal relationship with Seymour. His service (the CIA) generally ends up footing the bill of all of the Anglo-Israeli joint operations and is responsible for the documentation (passports, visas, etc.), as well as logistical relations and political support from other countries not usually involved and their corresponding security and intelligence services. His relations with Gabriel tend to be much warmer than Seymour's. \nJulian Isherwood, born Isakowitz — the son of a Jewish Parisian art dealer, he was smuggled out of France before the Nazis killed his father. He is owner of Isherwood Fine Arts, a London-based art gallery specializing in Old Masters. Was recruited as a sayan by Shamron in the mid-1970s for one very specific purpose: to facilitate and maintain the identity of Mario Delvecchio, a Cornwall-based Italian expatriate art restorer of Old Masters paintings; in reality the operational cover of Gabriel Allon.\nChristopher Keller — The London-born son of Harley Street physicians, Keller enlisted in the British Army against the wishes of his parents and was accepted into the Special Air Service, becoming known as one of its most talented and accomplished operatives, assigned to the Sabre squadron, specializing in desert warfare. He served undercover in Belfast in the mid-1980s, until he was caught by the IRA and tortured. He managed to escape and kill all of his captors in the process. In 1991, he was deployed to Iraq with his SAS squadron, and was thought to have been killed as a result of a friendly fire incident. He survived, and managed to make his way to Corsica, where Don Orsati took him into his employ as one of his professional assassins, becoming his most valuable employee. He was the antagonist in The English Assassin but returned in The English Girl, The Heist and The English Spy to work with Gabriel and his team. At the end of The English Spy, he returned to service with the United Kingdom. At the end of The New Girl, Keller is romantically linked to Sarah Bancroft.\n\nTitles\nThe Kill Artist (2000)\nThe English Assassin (2002)\nThe Confessor (2003)\nA Death in Vienna (2004)\nPrince of Fire (2005)\nThe Messenger (2006)\nThe Secret Servant (2007)\nMoscow Rules (2008)\nThe Defector (2009)\nThe Rembrandt Affair (2010)\nPortrait of a Spy (2011)\nThe Fallen Angel (2012)\nThe English Girl (2013)\nThe Heist (2014)\n The English Spy (2015)\n The Black Widow (2016)\n House of Spies (2017)\n The Other Woman (2018)\n The New Girl (2019)\n The Order (2020)\n The Cellist (2021)\n Portrait of an Unknown Woman (2022)\n The Collector (2023)\n\nReferences\n\nNovels set in Israel\nNovels by Daniel Silva\nAllon, Gabriel\nAllon, Gabriel\nAllon, Gabriel\nBook series introduced in 2000",

"O'Brien (known as O'Connor in the 1956 film adaptation of the novel) is a fictional character and the main antagonist in George Orwell's 1949 novel Nineteen Eighty-Four. The protagonist Winston Smith, living in a dystopian society governed by the Party, feels strangely drawn to Inner Party member O'Brien. Orwell never reveals O'Brien's first name. The name indicates that O'Brien is of Irish origin, but this background is never shown to have any significance.\n\nOverview \n\nO'Brien is a member of the Inner Party and, like Winston Smith, works in the Ministry of Truth. There, he holds an administrative position that is so distant that Winston has only a vague idea of its nature.\nWinston suspects that O'Brien secretly opposes the Party. Eventually O'Brien approaches Winston with some leading remarks which seem to confirm Winston's suspicions. Winston finds the courage to approach him candidly, declaring himself an enemy of the totalitarian state. At first, Winston's intuition seems to be correct: O'Brien presents himself as a member of the \"Brotherhood\" seeking to overthrow the Party and Ingsoc. O'Brien invites Winston (who then invites Julia) to his flat where, as a member of the Inner Party he lives in comparative luxury. Like Winston and Julia, O'Brien is not unfamiliar with smoking and drinking. However, as an Inner Party member, he has access to far better cigarettes and other goods than they do. Whilst visiting O'Brien at his home, Winston samples wine for the first time. O’Brien then extracts a series of pledges from the couple that they are prepared to do anything to serve the Brotherhood, except (at Julia's protest) to separate from each other.\n\nIn truth, O'Brien is an agent of the Thought Police, and is completely loyal to the Party and to Ingsoc. He is part of a false flag resistance movement whose goal is to find thought-criminals (anyone who has ideas deemed to be unacceptable by the Party), lure them in by pretending to be on their side, then arrest and help them to become sane.\n\nO'Brien is next seen after Winston is arrested by the Thought Police. He reveals himself as he enters the cell by responding to Winston's exclamation, \"They've got you too!\", by commenting, \"They got me a long time ago.\"\n\nO'Brien is estimated privately by Winston as being 48–50 years old (O'Brien notices and guesses that Winston is contemplating this despite him not speaking of it). This would mean that he was born about 1934 to 1936, that he was a young man at the time of the Revolution which brought the Party to power, and that unlike Winston he clearly remembers the world as it was before - though he does not share these reminiscences with his prisoner (except for demonstrating that he knows the full text of \"Oranges and Lemons\").\n\nOver several weeks, O'Brien tortures Winston to cure him of his \"insanity\", in particular his \"false\" notion that there exists a past and an external, self-evident reality independent of the Party; O'Brien explains that reality only exists within the human mind, and since the Party controls everyone's mind, it therefore controls reality.\n\nHe is entirely honest about the brutal cynicism of the Party; the Party does not seek power to benefit themselves or their subjects, but simply to revel in that power: \"Always, Winston, at every moment, there will be the thrill of victory, the sensation of trampling on an enemy who is helpless. If you want a picture of the future, imagine a boot stamping on a human face—forever.\"\n\nEven in the torture scenes, there is a strange intimacy that persists between Winston and O'Brien. O'Brien even states that Winston's mind appeals to him, and that it resembles his own mind, except that Winston happens to be \"insane\". Eventually, in Room 101, O'Brien tortures Winston into submission so that he willingly embraces the philosophy of the Party.\n\nInspirations \n\nO'Brien was partly inspired by the character of Gletkin from Arthur Koestler's novel Darkness at Noon. The two characters share many common traits, including their ruthlessness and fanaticism to the government: O'Brien however is more sadistic than the cold, detached Gletkin, and prefers to use torture himself, whereas Gletkin prefers to torment his prisoners psychologically. The torture scenes (undertaken by O'Brien) were influenced in part by the stories leaked out of the USSR of the punishments inflicted on political prisoners in mental hospitals and the Gulag.\n\nThe choice of the clearly Irish surname is regarded as a reference to Brendan Bracken, under whom Orwell worked during the war creating propaganda, and whom Orwell detested. In what has been described as \"one of the strangest coincidences in literature\", it was revealed in 2003 that O'Brien was the codename of NKVD agent Hugh O'Donnell, who received reports on the author from his subordinate David Crook when Crook spied on Orwell during the Spanish Civil War.\n\nPortrayals \n\nCanadian actor Lorne Greene played O'Brien in a 1953 adaptation on the CBS anthology series Studio One (S06E01) called \"1984\". In the adaptation broadcast on 26 April 1953 on The United States Steel Hour radio program, Alan Hewitt played O'Brien. In the BBC Television adaptation of Nineteen Eighty-Four (1954), the character was played by André Morell. In the 2013 BBC Radio 3 adaptation, O'Brien was played by Tim Pigott-Smith.\n\nIn the 1956 film, O'Brien was renamed O'Connor, possibly to avoid confusion with Edmond O'Brien, who portrayed Winston. O'Connor was played by Michael Redgrave. In the 1984 film version, O'Brien was portrayed by Richard Burton in his final role.\n\nThe character of Corbin O'Brian in the film Snowden (2016) is thought to have been inspired by Orwell's O'Brien.\n\nIn the highly successful Almeida Theatre and West End production of 1984 directed by Robert Icke O’Brien was played Tim Dutton.\n\nReferences \n\nNineteen Eighty-Four characters\nFictional prison officers and governors\nFictional British police officers\nLiterary characters introduced in 1949\nFictional writers\nFictional torturers\nFictional British people\nMale characters in literature\nMale literary villains\nGeorge Orwell characters",

"The Following is a list of characters from the sitcom Grounded for Life.\n\nCharacters\n\nSean Finnerty\n\nSean Finnerty (Donal Logue) - Sean initially worked in the city lines as an electrician . In the later seasons, he owns and operates The Red Boot Pub with his brother Eddie. A Red Boot Pub dartboard can be found in the Finnerty household in the living room. The father of three (later four) kids, Sean also deals with his judgmental father, his irresponsible brother, and the head nun/principal at his children's school, Sister Helen. Sean often gets into trouble with his irresponsible brother. In many episodes he is depicted as a hothead and he has a lot of difficulty parenting, on account of the fact that he was only eighteen when Lily was born. He is also shown in many episodes to be a skilled guitar player, with him and Eddie having been in a band together in their youth.\n\nClaudia Finnerty\n\nClaudia Finnerty (née Bustamante) (Megyn Price) - Claudia got pregnant with Lily in high school and ended up marrying Lily's father, Sean Finnerty. She has a job as a hostess at a SoHo restaurant and in later seasons takes classes at Wadsworth College. She is often underappreciated, but is able to make that known. She and Sean's brother, Eddie, run into many conflicts throughout the series. At the beginning of the fifth season, Sean impregnates her again and she gives birth to a girl named Rose in the finale. She seems to be more understanding and forgiving of Lily's mistakes and is generally more level-headed than Sean throughout the series. She is of partial Italian descent. She is also depicted as an extremely attractive character.\n\nEddie Finnerty\n\nEdwin \"Eddie\" Finnerty (Kevin Corrigan) - Eddie is Sean's younger brother who is carefree and often gets himself into trouble. He is always in the Finnerty house eating their food and watching their TV. He seems to have many \"associates\" and \"connections\" of various types and often comes up with ill-advised and sometimes illegal schemes. He has been caught using Sean and Claudia's house for some of his antics, such as one time hosting a casino night and another using it to film a pornographic film. When he and Sean bought the Red Boot Pub, he planned to burn it down for the insurance money. It is implied throughout the series that he is involved in illegal activity.\n\nLily Finnerty\n\nLily Finnerty (Lynsey Bartilson) (14–18 years old) - The redhead selfish teenage daughter who is often at odds with her parents. She usually blames her parents for all her problems, mostly on the grounds that they had her so young, and that her mom is still attractive. Although she first finds him annoying, she later falls in love with her next-door neighbor, Brad O'Keefe, and they have an on-again, off-again relationship. Lily meets a boy named Dean in the episode \"Bang on the Drum\" and begins to date him from then to the eleventh episode of season three, in which she gets together with Brad on her sixteenth birthday. They continue to date throughout the rest of the show, and their relationship, and its problems, are often central points of the episodes. Throughout the series, it is shown that she loves to dance.\n\nJimmy Finnerty\n\nJames Francis \"Jimmy\" Finnerty (Griffin Frazen) (11–15 years old) - The black sheep of the family, Jimmy's choices are not always accepted by his parents (such as choosing to become a vegetarian). Thus, he often confides in his Uncle Eddie. Many comparisons are made between the two characters on the show, most notably in the third season episode Who Are You? where he pretends to shoplift in a desperate grab for attention. The reason he gets so little attention is that unlike his siblings he causes the least trouble. He is arguably the most sensible and intelligent of the characters.\n\nHenry Finnerty\n\nHenry Finnerty (Jake Burbage) (8–12 years old) - The youngest son of the family, Henry, disappeared at the beginning of the fifth season when actor Jake Burbage left to move back east with his family. He is actually never seen during the fifth season, but he is, however, mentioned several times, notably in the episode \"Hello, Goodbye\" when Claudia says to Walt that Henry is \"...around here someplace,\". Henry is shown to be a \"loose cannon\", often getting himself into trouble for being extremely impressionable and curious.\n\nBrad O'Keefe\n\nBradley \"Brad\" O'Keefe (Bret Harrison) (14–18 years old) - The sweet, smart but socially inept neighbor, who later becomes Lily's boyfriend at the end of the third season. He is a science nerd and is part of the school club \"Sciencenauts\".\n\nWalt Finnerty\n\nWalt Finnerty (Richard Riehle) is Sean and Eddie's father. He's a widower and often comes to the house or the bar to see his kids and grandkids. He's very judgmental, especially of his own sons and is shown to be all but the ideal father and lacks in parental skills (scaring his children when they were young or making his two grandsons dig a deep hole for no reason).\n\nGracie Finnerty\n\nGracie Finnerty - The series finale ends with Claudia giving birth to Rose who they later rename Gracie after many incorrectly believed her to be named after a certain movie character, bringing the number of Finnerty children to four at the end of the series. She was born on Lily's high school graduation day, in June 2005.\n\nReferences\n\nExternal links\n Grounded for Life characters at groundedforlifeshrine.com\n\nLists of American sitcom television characters"

"Francisco Alonso López (9 May 1887 – 18 May 1948) was a Spanish composer of popular theatre music and zarzuelas.\n\nAlonso's music is funny, cheerful, easy melody and with a popular accent.

He wrote also two pasodobles for fiestas in the city of Alicante, Les Fogueres de Sant Joan, titled La festa del poble, premiered in 1934, and La Nit de San Joan 1934, a pasodoble foguerer for band, chorus and bass soloist. He also was elected president of the General Society of Authors of Spain.\n\nChildhood and early youth\nFrancisco Alonso was born in Granada, where he received his early education from the Piarists. As the son of a pianist, Alonso was interested in music from early childhood. His mother supported him when, unable to overcome the dissection classes , he abandoned a career in medicine for musical studies. He studied music initially with Antonio Segura, and later with Celestino Villa, choirmaster of the Cathedral of Granada.\n\nAlonso's first compositions were created for the Escuelas del Ave María (founder Andrés Manjón). Later, he wrote music for ballroom dances such as polkas, mazurkas, and waltzes. When he was 16 years old, he led the band of the powder workers of the El Fargue district of Granada, and later created a choir at the Philharmonic Society of Granada that performed several concerts in Granada. At age 18 he premiered his first opera with La Niña de los Cantares, performed at the Teatro Cervantes in 1905. At that time he also became the director of the regimental band of Córdoba, for whom he composed his well-known pasodoble Pólvora sin Humo.\n\nIn Madrid\nHis mother and father died in 1905 and 1908 respectively and Alonso decided to move to Madrid to focus on making the most of the better musical opportunities offered by the capital. After a banquet and tribute offered by his colleagues on 12 March, he bid farewell to Granada in 1911.\n\nHe arrived in Madrid with 600 pesetas in his pocket and initially devoted himself to writing cuplés, then very fashionable, for stars of the time as La Fornarina, Resurrección Quijano, Pastora Imperio, La Bella Chelito and La Goya. But he met only modest success for his stage works as the one act sainete ¡Armas al Hombro! with the composer Tomás López Torregrosa, which premiered at the Teatro Martín on 13 November 1911. In 1913 El Bueno de Guzmán premiered with the librettist and composer :es:Enrique García Álvarez.\n\nAlonso had to wait until 1916 for his first real success with the revue Música, Luz y Alegría, which premiered at the Teatro Novedades de Madrid. In 1918 he premiered a lyrical fantasy De Madrid al Infierno, with the chotis Oye Nicanora which was repeatedly encored by the audience. He showed more maturity in his orchestration in Las Corsarias, premiered at the Teatro Martín in 1919, that included the pasodoble La Banderita which became extremely popular in Spain, was sung by soldiers who were off to the Rif War of Africa, so that even the king Alfonso XIII was heard singing it while shaving, the more than twenty thousand performances of the work since its premiere by the company of Salvador Videgain made the maestro one of the great composers of the time, achieving even a decoration for the flag. From this time the Master is free to compose at will. His works met the same success in many countries of Latin America and Alonso was able to stage some of his works in Paris.\n\nIn 1924, came a consecutive series of successes starting with La Linda Tapada, premiered at the Teatro Cómico and included the popular Canción del Gitano, followed by La Bejarana premiered the same year at the Teatro Apolo and that was equally popular for its Pasodoble de los Quintos. At this time Alonso took inspiration from folk music of the various regions of Spain as in Curro el de Lora with its Andalusian atmosphere to a libretto by :es:Luis Fernandez Ardavín, released in 1925, but which met with little success despite its excellent score. At the Teatro de la Zarzuela in the same year he premiered La Calesera, with a Madrid ambience, and featuring Pasodoble de los Chisperos and Himno a la Libertad. La Parranda set in Murcia opened in 1937. This included the Canción del Platero and the Canto a Murcia which became a popular anthem of the region. In La Picarona (1931), set in Segovia, its Canto a Segovia stood out.\n\nPaco Alonso not only composed operettas, but was a versatile author who created many sketches and revues. Of those released in 1927 in :es:Teatro Eslava Las Castigadoras, featuring the Chotis de las Taquimecas and Las Cariñosas. The next year followed Chotis de la Lola.\n\nBut his greatest success in the field of the revue came in 1931 with Las Leandras premiered at the Teatro Pavón and written especially for the star Celia Gámez who scored an enormous hit with Pasodoble de los Nardos and the chotis El Pichi.\n\nUntil the Spanish Civil War he premiered mainly revues like Las de Villadiego, Las de los Ojos en Blanco which include the pasodoble Horchatera Valenciana, Mujeres de Fuego and some zarzuelas like Me Llaman la Presumida (1935).\n\nAfter the war the love of zarzuela fell into a deep decline and although Alonso premiered Manuelita Rosas, and La Zapaterita focussing on operetta and musical comedy with which he had some success as Doña Mariquita de mi Corazón (1942), Luna de Miel en El Cairo (1943), Aquella Noche Azul and Tres Días Para Quererte, (both 1945).\n\nIn 1947 he was elected as director of the Society of Authors and Publishers. While convalescing from an operation for retinal detachment he premiered 24 Horas Mintiendo a comedy written by :es:Francisco Ramos de Castro. After his death at his home on Calle Sagasta, Madrid, in 1948, he was buried in a massive funeral.

"Nupur Sharma (born 23 April 1985) is an Indian politician. She was the national spokesperson of the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) until June 2022. She frequently represented BJP on Indian television debates as an official spokesperson. In June 2022, she was suspended from the party due to her comments about Muhammad and the age of his third wife, Aisha, at the time of their marriage and the consummation of the marriage as well her comments on other central doctrines in the Islamic tradition.\n\nEarly life and education\nNupur Sharma was born in New Delhi in 1985. She comes from a family of civil servants and businessmen. Her mother is from Dehradun. \n\nSharma studied in the Delhi Public School, Mathura Road. Later she graduated from the Hindu College at Delhi University with a Bachelor of Arts in economics. She later completed her Bachelor of Laws at Delhi University. While a student, she had joined the Akhil Bharatiya Vidyarthi Parishad (ABVP), the student wing of the Sangh Parivar, and won the presidency of the Delhi University Students Union in 2008, breaking an eight-year-long dry spell for the ABVP. A notable incident during her stint was the leading of an ABVP mob to heckle S. A. R. Geelani in a faculty seminar on 'Communalism, Fascism and Democracy: Rhetoric and Reality'. After receiving a Master of Laws degree from the London School of Economics at the University of London, Sharma became a lawyer.\n\nPolitical career\nSharma became a worker of the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) after returning from London in 2010–2011. In 2013, she became a member of the Delhi BJP's working committee. She is said to have worked with senior leaders like Arvind Pradhan, Arun Jaitley and Amit Shah. In 2015, at age 30, she was given the ticket for contesting against Arvind Kejriwal of the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) in the 2015 Delhi Legislative Assembly election. She lost the contest by 31,000 votes.\n\nAfterwards, she was appointed as an official spokesperson for the BJP's Delhi unit under Manoj Tiwari. In 2020, she was appointed as a national spokesperson of BJP under the presidency of J. P. Nadda. According to a Delhi BJP leader, even when she was part of the Delhi unit, she was often sent out for TV debates on national issues because of her legal acumen, sound knowledge of national issues, and bilingual skills. She was seen as young and energetic, with regular appearances on television debates. She is often seen being brusque to opposing panellists, causing outrage on Twitter.\n\nComments about Muhammad\n\nOn 26 May 2022, Sharma participated in a debate on the Gyanvapi Mosque dispute on the Times Now television channel, during which she made remarks regarding the age of Muhammad's wife Aisha at the time of their marriage and consummation of the marriage. A day later, the video clip of her comments were shared by Mohammed Zubair, who the co-founder of Alt News, on social media to widespread criticism. Times Now deleted the video of the programme from its YouTube channel the following day. Nonetheless, Sharma defended her comments and exonerated Zubair of heavily editing the original clip. Following this, she began receiving rape and death threats , prompting the Delhi Police to provide her with a security cover. Journalists note that Sharma has made similar comments on several TV shows.\n\nA police FIR (First Information Report) was registered against Sharma in Mumbai the next day on the grounds of allegedly \"hurting religious sentiments\". A series of FIRs followed in various towns around the country including one by parliamentarian Asaduddin Owaisi in Hyderabad. A bandh (shut down) was called by a Muslim organization in Kanpur to protest the remarks on 3 June, during which violence erupted with 40 people getting injured. In the meanwhile, Sharma's comments continued to be shared on social media especially in the Arab world. By 4 June, \"insult to Prophet Mohammed\" was among the top 10 trending hashtags in all the countries of Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) and Turkey.\n\nOn 5 June, the Grand Mufti of Oman became the first significant figure from outside India to take issue with Sharma. Describing the remarks as \"insolent and obscene rudeness\", he called for a boycott of all Indian products and confiscation of all Indian investments in Oman. The Government of Qatar summoned the Indian ambassador and asked for an immediate condemnation and apology; The ambassador remarked Sharma to be a \"fringe element\" who did not reflect the views of the Government of India. The same day, Kuwait and Iran had the Indian envoys summoned and gave them protest notes.\n\nBy the evening of 5 June, Sharma was suspended from the BJP. The party statement said, \"The BJP strongly denounces insults of any religious personalities of any religion.\" Afterwards, Sharma withdrew her remarks \"unconditionally\". However, reiterated that they were in response to the \"continuous insult and disregard\" towards the Hindu deity Lord Shiva, who was often insulted by other panelists.

"Robert Alan Krieger (born January 8, 1946) is an American guitarist and founding member of the rock band the Doors. Krieger wrote or co-wrote many of the Doors' songs, including the hits \"Light My Fire\", \"Love Me Two Times\", \"Touch Me\", and \"Love Her Madly\". When the Doors disbanded following the death of lead singer Jim Morrison, Krieger continued to perform and record with other musicians including former Doors bandmates John Densmore and Ray Manzarek. He was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame as a member of the Doors and is listed by Rolling Stone as one of the 100 greatest guitarists of all time. In 2023, Krieger was listed as the 248th greatest guitarist by Rolling Stone.\n\nEarly life and education \n\nKrieger was born January 8, 1946, in Los Angeles, California to a Jewish family. His father, an engineer, was a fan of classical music, while his mother enjoyed \"Frank Sinatra and stuff like that\".\n\nKrieger attended a Hebrew school with his twin brother Ronny. While Krieger was a boarding student at a private school called Menlo School in Atherton, California, there was study time at night that allowed him to teach himself to play the guitar. He began by first de-tuning a ukulele to the bottom four strings of a guitar and mimicking a record he had. Later, in the mid-1960s, scholar Frank Chin taught Krieger how to play the flamenco guitar.\n\nAfter graduating from high school, Krieger attended the University of California, Santa Barbara. His musical development included listening to guitarists Wes Montgomery, Albert King, and Larry Carlton who influenced his style. Krieger's flamenco guitar playing can be heard in the song \"Spanish Caravan\".\n\nThe Doors \n\nKrieger became a member of the Doors in 1965, joining keyboard player Ray Manzarek, drummer John Densmore and vocalist Jim Morrison, after Manzarek's brothers left the group. At an early Doors rehearsal Morrison heard Krieger playing bottleneck guitar and initially wanted the technique featured on every song on the first album. Krieger's fingerstyle approach to the electric guitar, broad musical tastes, and songwriting helped establish the Doors as a successful rock band in the 1960s. Together with Densmore, he studied under Indian sitarist Ravi Shankar at the Kinnara School of Music in Los Angeles.\n\nKrieger occasionally sang lead vocal with the Doors. He can be heard on the song \"Runnin' Blue\". He also sang on the last two Doors albums, recorded after Morrison's death, Other Voices and Full Circle.\n\nAfter Morrison's death in 1971, Krieger, Manzarek and Densmore carried on as a trio. They released two more albums as the Doors before disbanding in 1973, though they did reconvene a few years later to create music for poetry that Morrison had recorded shortly before his death, released as the 1978 album An American Prayer.\n\nLater career \n\nAfter the Doors disbanded in 1973, Krieger formed the Butts Band with Densmore. He almost enjoyed some success as a jazz-fusion guitarist, recording a handful of albums in the 1970s and 1980s, including Versions (1982), Robby Krieger (1985), and No Habla (1989). His first solo release was Robbie Krieger & Friends in 1977.\n\nIn 1982, Krieger appeared on four tracks of the album Panic Station by the Los Angeles group The Acid Casualties (\"Shadow Street,\" \"Solid Sound,\" \"Armies of the Sun,\" and \"She's a Lost Soul\").\n\nIn 1991, Krieger formed a new band simply known as the Robby Krieger Band, which featured his son Waylon Krieger (guitar), Berry Oakley Jr. (bass, backing vocals), Dale Alexander (keyboards), and Ray Mehlbaum (drums). In 2000, Krieger released Cinematix, an entirely instrumental fusion album, with guest appearances from Billy Cobham and Edgar Winter.\n\nKrieger and Manzarek reformed as the \"Doors of the 21st Century\" in 2002 with vocalist Ian Astbury of the Cult. (Astbury had also performed a solo cover of \"Touch Me\" and a cover of \"Wild Child\" with the Cult on the tribute album Stoned Immaculate: The Music of The Doors).\n\nKrieger played guitar on a few tracks by Blue Öyster Cult. In June 2008, ZYX Studio released his concert with Eric Burdon, called Live at the Ventura Beach California. They also played \"Back Door Man\" and \"Roadhouse Blues\".\n\nIn May 2012, Robby Krieger toured with the Roadhouse Rebels, a trio side-project consisting of founding members Particle's (and Rich Robinson's keyboardist) Steve Molitz (hammond organ, keyboards) and Oingo Boingo/Mutaytor's John Avila (bass), only this time with two additional musicians, the Black Crowes's Rich Robinson (guitar/vocals) and Rich Robinson's drummer Joe Magistro. The shows' setlists featured a range of material, including Doors standards, classic soul and rock 'n' roll covers from the '60s and '70s, and material from Robinson's new Through a Crooked Sun album. The group performed on May 25, 2012, in Los Angeles, on May 26, 2012, at the Bella Fiore Music Festival at Harmony Park Music Garden in Clarks Grove, Minnesota, and on May 27, 2012, at the Oriental Theater in Denver.\n\nOn December 31, 2013, Krieger played alongside Southern rock band Gov't Mule at the Beacon Theatre (New York City). In July 2017, Krieger tossed out the first pitch at a Dodgers game in Los Angeles.\n\nOn August 29, 2018, Krieger joined Alice in Chains onstage at the Hollywood Palladium in Los Angeles to close out their sold-out concert with a performance of their hit song \"Rooster\". On August 14, 2020, Krieger released his solo album, The Ritual Begins At Sundown. On September 10, 2020, Krieger was announced as a headliner featuring Maki Mae in the Asian Hall of Fame Induction Ceremony.\n\nIn 2020, during the COVID-19 pandemic lockdowns, Krieger began uploading guitar tutorials for various Doors songs to the band's official YouTube channel.\n\nOn October 12, 2021, Krieger released a memoir Set the Night on Fire: Living, Dying, and Playing Guitar With the Doors, cowritten with author and musician Jeff Penalty Alulis.\n\nPersonal life\nKrieger is married to Lynn Krieger and has one child: Waylon Krieger.\n\nIn 2022, Krieger's custom-built home in Bel-Air, California was put up for sale by its current owner for $13.9 million. The property features 1.4 acres of land, a pool, spa and 6,600 square feet of living space. At one time it had been owned by Limp Bizkit singer Fred Durst.\n\nGuitars used \n\nKrieger used a variety of electric guitars models during his time with the Doors, most notably the following ones:\n 1964 Gibson SG Special\n 1958 National 'Town & Country' (Model 1104)\n 1967 Gibson SG Special\n 1968 Gibson SG Standard\n 1954 Gibson Les Paul Custom ('Black Beauty')\n Black Gibson SG Standard\n\nDiscography\n\nwith The Doors \n\n The Doors (1967)\n Strange Days (1967)\n Waiting for the Sun (1968)\n The Soft Parade (1969)\n Morrison Hotel (1970)\n L.A.

"Paul the Apostle has been placed within Second Temple Judaism by recent scholarship since the 1970s. A main point of departure with older scholarship is the understanding of Second Temple Judaism; the covenant with God and the role of works as a means to either gain or keep the covenant.\n\nA central concern for Paul was the inclusion of Gentiles into God's New Covenant, and the role of faith and commandments in the inclusion of Gentile converts. Paul did not deem circumcision necessary, as witnessed throughout his writings, but thought that God included Gentiles into his New Covenant through faith in Christ. This brought him into conflict with the Judaizers, a faction of the Jewish Christians who demanded strict observance of the Mosaic Law by Gentile Christians. Eventually the less strict view prevailed, and led to the separation of Gentile Christianity from Judaism.\n\nOverview \n\nPaul's influence on Christian thinking is considered to be more significant than that of any other New Testament author. According to Krister Stendahl, the main concern of Paul's writings on Jesus' role, and salvation by faith, is not the individual conscience of human sinners, and their doubts about being chosen by God or not, but the problem of the inclusion of Gentile (Greek) Torah-observers into God's covenant.\n\nPaul draws on several interpretative frames to solve this problem, but most importantly, his own experience and understanding. The kerygma from refers to two mythologies: the Greek myth of the noble dead, to which the Maccabean notion of martyrdom and dying for one's people is related; and the Jewish myth of the persecuted sage or righteous man, c.q. the \"story of the child of wisdom.\" The notion of 'dying for' refers to this martyrdom and persecution. 'Dying for our sins' refers to the problem of Gentile Torah-observers, who, despite their faithfulness, are not Jewish by birth, and are therefore 'sinners', excluded from God's covenant. Jesus' death and resurrection solved this problem of the exclusion of the Gentiles from God's covenant, as indicated by .\n\nThe inclusion of Gentiles into Judaism posed a problem for the Jewish-Christian identity of some of the proto-Christians, since the new converts did not follow all the tenets of the Mosaic Law; circumcision in particular was regarded as a token of the membership of the Abrahamic covenant, and the most traditionalist faction of Jewish Christians (i.e., converted Pharisees) insisted that Gentile converts had to be circumcised as well. Paul objected strongly to the insistence on keeping all of the Jewish commandments, considering it a great threat to his doctrine of salvation through faith in Jesus. According to Paula Fredriksen, Paul's opposition to male circumcision for Gentiles is in line with the Old Testament predictions that \"in the last days the gentile nations would come to the God of Israel, as gentiles (e.g., ), not as proselytes to Israel.\" For Paul, Gentile male circumcision was therefore an affront to God's intentions. According to Larry Hurtado, \"Paul saw himself as what Munck called a salvation-historical figure in his own right\", who was \"personally and singularly deputized by God to bring about the predicted ingathering (the \"fullness\") of the nations ().\"\n\nFor Paul, the sacrifice of Jesus solved the problem of the exclusion of Gentiles from God's covenant, since the faithful are redeemed by participation in Jesus' death and rising. According to and Acts chapter 15, Paul discussed the issue with the leaders of the Jerusalem ekklēsia, agreeing to allow Gentile converts exemption from most Jewish commandments, which opened the way for a much larger Christian Church, extending far beyond the Jewish community. Hurtado notes that Paul valued the linkage with \"Jewish Christian circles in Roman Judea\", which makes it likely that his Christology was in line with, and indebted to, their views. Hurtado further notes that \"[i]t is widely accepted that the tradition that Paul recites in must go back to the Jerusalem Church.\"\n\nNew Perspective on Paul \n\nE. P. Sanders introduced a new perspective on Paul with his 1977 publication Paul and Palestinian Judaism. According to Sanders, Western theology has misunderstood the Judaic context of Paul's religious views. Law-keeping and good works were not means to enter the covenant (legalism), but a sign of being in, and a means of keeping, the covenant. Sanders called this pattern of religion \"covenantal nomism\". Sanders' perspective calls the traditional Protestant understanding of the doctrine of justification into serious question.\n\nSanders' publications, such as Paul and Palestinian Judaism in 1977 and Paul, the Law, and the Jewish People in 1983, have since been taken up by Professor James D. G. Dunn, who coined the phrase \"New Perspective on Paul\";<ref>J.D.G. Dunn's Manson Memorial Lecture (4.11.1982): 'The New Perspective on Paul' BJRL 65 (1983), 95–122.</ref> and by N. T. Wright, then Anglican bishop of Durham. Wright notes the apparent discrepancy between Romans and Galatians, the former being much more positive about the continuing covenantal relationship between God and his ancient people than the latter. Wright contends therefore that works are not insignificant. According to Wright, Paul distinguishes between works which are signs of ethnic identity, and those which are a sign of obedience to Christ.\n\nWithin the last three decades, a number of theologians have put forward other \"New Perspectives\" on Paul's doctrine of justification, and even more specifically on what he says about justification by faith. According to Simon Gathercole, \"Justification by faith\" means God accepts Gentiles in addition to Jews, since both believe in God. Paul writes in his letter to the Romans, \"For we maintain that a man is justified by faith apart from observing the law. Is God the God of Jews only? Is he not the God of Gentiles too? Yes, of Gentiles too, since there is only one God, who will justify the circumcised by faith and the uncircumcised through that same faith\". Faith is the central component of Paul's doctrine of justification — meaning that Gentiles don't need to become Israelites when they convert to Christianity, because God is not just the God of one nation, but Gentile and Jew alike.\n\nSources\n\nThe Book of Acts contains an account of Paul's travels and deeds, his conflicts with Greeks and Jews during the Julio-Claudian dynasty, and his interactions with the original Apostles of Jesus. The value of the historical information in Acts, however, is challenged by some scholars. They believe that it was written from a perspective of reconciliation between Pauline Christianity and its opponents, so portrays Paul as a Law-abiding Jew and omits his dispute with Peter, only briefly mentioning the split with Barnabas. Irenaeus in the 2nd century was the first of record to quote Acts, and he used it against Marcion of Sinope, who rejected the Hebrew Bible entirely (see also Marcionism).\n\nPaul's background\n\nJewish background\n\nPaul was from a devout Jewish family based in the city of Tarsus, one of the largest trade centers on the Mediterranean coast. It had been in existence several hundred years prior to his birth. It was renowned for its university. During the time of Alexander the Great, who died in 323 BC, Tarsus was the most influential city in Asia Minor.\n\nPaul's family had a history of religious piety (). Apparently the family lineage had been very attached to Pharisaic traditions and observances for generations; Acts quotes Paul referring to his family by saying he was \"a Pharisee, born of Pharisees\". In he states that two of his relatives, Andronicus and Junia, were Christians before he was and were prominent among the Apostles. Acts says that he was an artisan involved in the leather or tent-making profession. This was to become an initial connection with Priscilla and Aquila, with whom he would partner in tent-making and later become very important teammates as fellow missionaries. Paul referred to himself as an observant Jew in the letter to the Philippians:\n\nWhile he was still fairly young, he was sent to Jerusalem to receive rabbinical education at the school of Gamaliel, one of the most noted rabbis in history. Some of his family may have resided in Jerusalem, since later the son of one of his sisters saved his life there. Nothing more is known of his biography until he takes an active part in the martyrdom of Stephen, a Hellenised diaspora Jew.\n\nAlthough we know from his biography and from Acts that Paul could speak Hebrew, modern scholarship suggests that Koine Greek was his first language.Dale Martin (2009), Introduction to New Testament History and Literature, lecture 14: \"Paul as Missionary\". Yale University. In his letters, Paul drew heavily on his knowledge of Stoic philosophy, using Stoic terms and metaphors to assist his new Gentile converts in their understanding of the Gospel and to explain his Christology.\n\nGreek backgroundHellenistic Judaism was a movement which existed in the Jewish diaspora and the Holy Land that sought to establish a Hebraic-Jewish religious tradition within the culture and language of Hellenism. The major literary product of the contact of Judaism and Hellenistic culture is the Septuagint (begun in the 3rd century BC). Major authors are Philo of Alexandria (died c. 50 AD), Josephus (died c.100 AD), and some would claim also Paul. The decline of Hellenistic Judaism in the 2nd century AD is obscure. It may be that it was marginalized by, absorbed into, or became Early Christianity.\n\nRecently, Talmudic scholar Daniel Boyarin has argued that Paul's theology of the spirit is more deeply rooted in Hellenistic Judaism than generally believed. In A Radical Jew, Boyarin argues that Paul the Apostle combined the life of Jesus with Greek philosophy to reinterpret the Hebrew Bible in terms of the Platonic opposition between the ideal (which is real) and the material (which is false).\n\nGentiles and circumcision\n\nBefore Paul's conversion, Christianity was part of Second Temple Judaism. Gentiles who wished to join the early Christian movement, which at the time comprised mostly Jewish followers, were expected to convert to Judaism, which likely meant submission to adult male circumcision for the uncircumcised, following the dietary restrictions of kashrut, and more. During the time period there were also \"partial converts\", such as gate proselytes and God-fearers, i.e. Greco-Roman sympathizers which made an allegiance to Judaism but refused to convert and therefore retained their Gentile (non-Jewish) status, hence they were uncircumcised and it wasn't required for them to follow any of the commandments of the Mosaic Law. Paul insisted that faith in Christ (see also Faith or Faithfulness) was sufficient for salvation, therefore the Mosaic Law wasn't binding for the Gentiles.\n\nPaul's conversion\nThe Epistle to the Galatians says that, prior to his conversion, Paul was a Pharisee who \"violently persecuted\" the followers of Jesus.\n\nPillars of the Church\n says that after God \"called me...so that I might proclaim him among the Gentiles\", he \"did not confer with any human being\". When he was in Jerusalem three years later he met Cephas (Peter) and James the Lord’s brother and says he did not explain \"the gospel that I proclaim among the Gentiles\" to \"the acknowledged leaders\" until 14 years later in a subsequent trip to Jerusalem.\n\nProselytizing among Jews\nAccording to Acts, Paul began working along the traditional Jewish line of proselytizing in the various synagogues where the proselytes of the gate and the Jews met; and only because he failed to win the Jews to his views, encountering strong opposition and persecution from them, did he turn to the Gentile world after he had agreed at a convention with the apostles at Jerusalem to admit the Gentiles into the Church only as proselytes of the gate, that is, after their acceptance of the Noachian laws.\n\nIn , Paul declares that, immediately after his conversion, he went away into Arabia, and again returned to Damascus. \"Then after three years, I went up to Jerusalem to visit Cephas\". In Acts, no mention is made of Paul's journey into Arabia; and the journey to Jerusalem is placed immediately after the notice of Paul's preaching in the synagogues. Hilgenfeld, Wendt, Weizäcker, Weiss, and others allege here a contradiction between the writer of the Acts and Paul.\n\nRabbi Jacob Emden, in a remarkable apology for Christianity contained in his appendix to Seder Olam Rabbah, gives as his opinion that the original intention of Jesus, and especially of Paul, was to convert only the Gentiles to the seven moral laws of Noah and to let the Jews follow the Mosaic law, which explains the apparent contradictions in the New Testament regarding the laws of Moses and the Sabbath.\n\nPersecution of Paul by Jews in Acts\n\nSeveral passages in Acts describe Paul's missions to Asia Minor and the encounters he had with Diaspora Jews and with local gentile populations. In , the Jews from Antioch and Iconium go so far as to follow Paul to other cities and to incite the crowds there to violence against him. Paul had already been stoned and left for dead once. In Philippi, a Roman colony, Roman magistrates beat and jailed Paul and his companions on behalf of the Gentiles. Clearly at this point, Paul and his companions were still considered to be Jews by those in Philippi who raised protests against them, despite Paul's attempts to tailor his teachings to his audience. Later, in nearby Thessalonica, the Jews again incited the crowds and pitted the Christians against the Roman authority.\n\nCircumcision controversy\n\nPaul, who called himself \"Apostle to the Gentiles\",, ; ; ; . criticised the practice of circumcision, perhaps as an entrance into the New Covenant of Jesus. In the case of Timothy, whose mother was a Jewish Christian but whose father was a Greek, Paul personally circumcised him \"because of the Jews\" that were in town.McGarvey on Acts 16: \"Yet we see him in the case before us, circumcising Timothy with his own hand, and this 'on account of certain Jews who were in those quarters.'\" Some believe that he appeared to praise its value in , yet later in Romans 2 we see his point. In he also disputes the value of circumcision.\n\nPaul made his case to the Christians at Rome that circumcision no longer meant the physical, but a spiritual practice. And in that sense, he wrote: \"Is any man called being circumcised? Let him not become uncircumcised\" in —probably a reference to the practice of epispasm.Catholic Encyclopedia: Circumcision: \"To this epispastic operation performed on the athletes to conceal the marks of circumcision St. Paul alludes, me epispastho.\" Paul was already circumcised at the time of his conversion. He added: \"Is any called in uncircumcision? Let him not be circumcised\", and went on to argue that circumcision didn't matter: \"Circumcision is nothing and uncircumcision is nothing. Keeping God's commands is what counts.\"\n\nLater Paul more explicitly denounced the practice, rejecting and condemning those Judaizers who promoted circumcision to Gentile Christians. He accused them of turning from the Spirit to the flesh: \"Are you so foolish, that, whereas you began in the Spirit, you would now be made perfect by the flesh?\" Paul warned that the advocates of circumcision were \"false brothers\". He accused the advocates of circumcision of wanting to make a good showing in the flesh, and of glorying or boasting of the flesh. Paul instead stressed a message of salvation through faith in Christ opposed to the submission under the Mosaic Law that constituted a New Covenant with God, which essentially provides a justification for Gentiles from the harsh edicts of the Law, a New Covenant that didn't require circumcision (see also Justification by faith, Pauline passages supporting antinomianism, Abrogation of Old Covenant laws).\n\nHis attitude towards circumcision varies between his outright hostility to what he calls \"mutilation\" in to praise in . However, such apparent discrepancies have led to a degree of skepticism about the reliability of Acts. Baur, Schwanbeck, De Wette, Davidson, Mayerhoff, Schleiermacher, Bleek, Krenkel, and others have opposed the authenticity of the Acts; an objection is drawn from the discrepancy between and . Some believe that Paul wrote the entire Epistle to the Galatians attacking circumcision, saying in chapter five: \"Behold, I Paul say unto you, if ye be circumcised, Christ shall profit you nothing.\"\n\nThe division between the Jews who followed the Mosaic Law and were circumcised and the Gentiles who were uncircumcised was highlighted in his Epistle to the Galatians:\n\nViews on Judaizers\n\nThe Judaizers were a faction of the Jewish Christians, both of Jewish and non-Jewish origins, who regarded the Levitical laws of the Old Testament as still binding on all Christians. They tried to enforce Jewish circumcision upon the Gentile converts to early Christianity and were strenuously opposed and criticized for their behavior by the Apostle Paul, which employed many of his epistles to refute their doctrinal errors.\n\nPaul was severely critical of the Judaizers within the Early Church and harshly reprimanded them for their doctrines and behavior. This conflict between Paul and his opponents may have been the reason for the Council of Jerusalem. Here James, Paul, and the other leaders of the Early Christian movement agreed that Gentile converts needed only to follow the \"three exceptions\", (counted by some as four) laws that roughly coincide with Judaism's Seven Laws of Noah said to be established by God for all humankind. This Apostolic Decree, still observed by the Eastern Orthodox Church, is similar to that adopted by Rabbinic Judaism, which teaches that Gentiles need only follow the Noachide Laws to be assured of a place in the World to Come (see also Noahidism and Dual-covenant theology).\n\nCouncil of Jerusalem\n\nPaul seems to have refused \"to be tied down to particular patterns of behavior and practice.\" He does not engage in a dispute with those Corinthians who apparently feel quite free to eat anything offered to idols, never appealing or even mentioning the Jerusalem council. He rather attempts to persuade them by appealing to the care they should have for other believers who might not feel so free.\n\nPaul himself described several meetings with the apostles in Jerusalem, though it is difficult to reconcile any of them fully with the account in Acts (see also Paul the Apostle#Council of Jerusalem). Paul claims he \"went up again to Jerusalem\" (i.e., not the first time) with Barnabas and Titus \"in response to a revelation\", in order to \"lay before them the gospel proclaimed among the Gentiles\", them being according to Paul \"those who were supposed to be acknowledged leaders\": James, Cephas and John. He describes this as a \"private meeting\" (not a public council) and notes that Titus, who was Greek, wasn't pressured to be circumcised. However, he refers to \"false believers secretly brought in, who slipped in to spy on the freedom we have in Christ Jesus, so that they might enslave us.\"\n\nPaul claims the \"pillars\" of the Church had no differences with him. On the contrary, they gave him the \"right hand of fellowship\", he bound for the mission to \"the uncircumcised\" and they to \"the circumcised\", requesting only that he remember the \"poor\". Whether this was the same meeting as that described in Acts is not universally agreed.\n\nAccording to an article in the Jewish Encyclopedia, great as was the success of Barnabas and Paul in the heathen world, the authorities in Jerusalem insisted upon circumcision as the condition of admission of members into the church, until, on the initiative of Peter, and of James, the head of the Jerusalem church, it was agreed that acceptance of the Noachian Laws — namely, regarding avoidance of idolatry, fornication, and the eating of flesh cut from a living animal — should be demanded of the heathen desirous of entering the Church.\n\nSince F.C. Baur, scholars have found evidence of various strands of thought within Early Christianity. James D. G. Dunn proposes that Peter was a \"bridge-man\" between the opposing views of Paul and James the Just.\n\nIncident at Antioch\n\nDespite the agreement presumably achieved at the Council of Jerusalem as understood by Paul, Paul recounts how he later publicly confronted Peter, also called the \"Incident at Antioch\" over Peter's reluctance to share a meal with Gentile Christians in Antioch.\n\nWriting later of the incident, Paul recounts: \"I opposed [Peter] to his face, because he was clearly in the wrong\". Paul reports that he told Peter: \"You are a Jew, yet you live like a Gentile and not like a Jew. How is it, then, that you force Gentiles to follow Jewish customs?\" Paul also mentions that even Barnabas (his travelling companion and fellow apostle until that time) sided with Peter.\n\nThe outcome of the incident remains uncertain. The Catholic Encyclopedia states: \"St. Paul's account of the incident leaves no doubt that St. Peter saw the justice of the rebuke.\" In contrast, L. Michael White's From Jesus to Christianity states: \"The blowup with Peter was a total failure of political bravado, and Paul soon left Antioch as persona non grata, never again to return.\"\n\nThe primary source for the Incident at Antioch is Paul's letter to the Galatians.\n\nJews depicted as killers of Jesus\nAs noted by New Testament scholar Pieter Willem van der Horst, Paul accuses the Jews of killing Jesus and the prophets in :\n\nJames P. Carroll, historian and former Catholic priest, cautions that this and similar statements in the Gospels of Matthew and John are properly viewed as \"evidence not of Jew hatred but of sectarian conflicts among Jews\" in the early years of the Christian church.\n\nSeparation with Judaism\n\nPaul's theology of the gospel contributed to the separation of the messianic sect of Christians from Judaism, a development contrary to Paul's own intent. He wrote that faith in Christ was alone decisive in salvation for Jews and Gentiles alike, making the schism between the followers of Christ and mainstream Jews inevitable and permanent. Without Paul's campaign against the legalists who opposed him, Christianity may have remained a dissenting sect within Judaism.\n\nHe argued that Gentile converts did not need to follow Jewish customs, get circumcised, follow Jewish dietary restrictions, or otherwise observe Mosaic law'' in order to have a share in the world to come. Teaching them to forsake idolatry for Noahidism, he insisted in his Epistle to the Romans on the positive value of the Law (see also Pauline passages opposing antinomianism) in its divine form. Since Paul's time, the polemical contrast that he made between the old and the new way of salvation has usually been weakened, with an emphasis on smooth development (Supersessionism) rather than stark contrast (Marcionism). See also New Perspective on Paul.\n\n(see also Antinomianism in the New Testament and Abrogation of Old Covenant laws)\n\nPauline Christianity\n\nPauline Christianity is a term used to refer to a branch of Early Christianity associated with the beliefs and doctrines espoused by Paul the Apostle through his writings. The term is generally considered a pejorative by some who believe it carries the implication that Christianity as it is known is a corruption of the original teachings of Jesus, as in the doctrine of the Great Apostasy.\n\nJewish views\n\nJewish historical reconstructions\nJewish interest in Paul is a recent phenomenon. Before the so-called Jewish reclamation of Jesus (as a Jew) in the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries, he had hardly featured in the popular Jewish imagination and little had been written about him by the religious leaders and scholars. Arguably, he is absent from the Talmud and rabbinical literature, although he makes an appearance in some variants of the medieval polemic Toledot Yeshu (as a spy for the rabbis). But with Jesus no longer regarded as the paradigm of gentile Christianity, Paul's position became more important in Jewish historical reconstructions of their religion's relationship with Christianity. He has featured as the key to building barriers (e.g. Heinrich Graetz and Martin Buber) or bridges (e.g. Isaac Mayer Wise and Claude G. Montefiore) in interfaith relations, as part of an intra-Jewish debate about what constitutes Jewish authenticity (e.g. Joseph Klausner and Hans Joachim Schoeps), and, on occasion, as a dialogical partner (e.g. Richard L. Rubenstein and Daniel Boyarin). He features in an oratorio (by Felix Mendelssohn), a painting (by Ludwig Meidner) and a play (by Franz Werfel), and there have been several novels about Paul (by Shalom Asch and Samuel Sandmel). Jewish philosophers (including Baruch Spinoza, Leo Shestov, and Jacob Taubes) and Jewish psychoanalysts (including Sigmund Freud and Hanns Sachs) have engaged with the apostle as one of the most influential figures in Western thought. Scholarly surveys of Jewish interest in Paul include those by Hagner (1980), Meissner (1996), and Langton (2010, 2011).\n\nSee also\n Anti-Judaism\n Apostolic Age\n Biblical law in Christianity\n Christianity in the 1st century\n Relations between early Christianity and Judaism\n\nNotes\n\nReferences\n\nCitations\n\nSources \nPrinted sources\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 \n\nWeb sources\n\nExternal links\n Jewish Encyclopedia: Saul of Tarsus\n Jewish Encyclopedia: Antinomianism: Paulinism and Pharisaism\n\nNew Testament theology\nBible-related controversies\n1st-century Christianity\nJudaism\nJudaism in the New Testament\nAncient Christian controversies\nAncient Christian antisemitism\nHellenism and Christianity\nMosaic law in Christian theology\nHellenistic Judaism",

"John Mark () is named in the Acts of the Apostles as an assistant accompanying Paul and Barnabas on their missionary journeys. Traditionally he is regarded as identical with Mark the Evangelist, the traditional writer of the Gospel of Mark.\n\nBiblical account\n\nSeveral times the Acts of the Apostles mentions a certain \"John, who was also called Mark\" or simply \"John\":\n\nFrom these passages it may be gathered that John's mother Mary had a large house in Jerusalem to which Peter fled after escaping prison; that John assisted Paul and Barnabas on their first missionary journey to Cyprus and as far as Perga in Pamphylia, but then returned to Jerusalem; and that later controversy over receiving John Mark back led to Paul and Barnabas parting ways, with Barnabas taking Mark back to Cyprus and both thereafter disappearing from the narrative of Acts. The reasons for John Mark's departure to Jerusalem and the subsequent disagreement between Paul and Barnabas have been subject to much speculation. Matthew Henry, for example, suggested that John Mark had departed \"without [Barnabas and Paul's] knowledge, or without their consent\". However, there is simply too little data to regard any explanation with confidence.\n\nSome scholars have argued that John Mark's negative portrayal in Acts is a polemic against the presumptive author of the Gospel of Mark, Luke's primary source for his own Gospel. Adela Collins suggests, \"Since the author of Acts also wrote the Gospel according to Luke, it could be that this critical portrait was intended to undercut the authority of the second Gospel.\" Michael Kok notes that \"Mark's Gospel was a bit of an embarrassment to the refined literary and theological tastes of an educated Christian like Luke.\"\n\nIdentification\n\nIt was common for Jews of the period to bear both a Semitic name such as John (Hebrew: Yochanan) and a Greco-Roman name such as Mark. But since John was one of the most common names among Palestinian Jews, and Mark was the most common in the Roman world, caution is warranted in identifying John Mark with any other John or Mark.\n\nAncient sources, in fact, consistently distinguish John Mark from the other Marks of the New Testament and style him Bishop of Byblos. Neither was John Mark identified in antiquity with any other John, apart from rare and explicit speculation.\n\nMedieval sources, on the other hand, increasingly regarded all New Testament references to Mark as Mark the Evangelist, and many modern scholars have agreed in seeing a single Mark. The very fact that various writings could refer simply to Mark without further qualification has been seen as pointing to a single Mark.\n\nFirst, there is Mark the cousin of Barnabas, mentioned by Paul as a \"fellow worker\" in the closings of three Pauline epistles. In antiquity he was regarded as a distinct Mark, Bishop of Apollonia. If, on the other hand, these two Marks are to be identified, the fact that these epistles were written after the departure of John Mark with Barnabas in Acts must suppose some later reconciliation. But a majority of scholars, noting the close association of both Marks with Paul and Barnabas, indeed regard them as likely the same person. Biblical scholars Samuel Rolles Driver and Charles Augustus Briggs identified Mark, the cousin of Barnabas, with John Mark, as do John R. Donahue and Daniel J. Harrington.\n\nMark the Evangelist, however, is known only from the patristic tradition, which associates him only with Peter and makes no mention of Paul. Jerome alone suggests that the Mark of whom Paul speaks may be the Evangelist. But modern scholars have noted that as Peter fled to the house of John Mark's mother, the two men may have had a longstanding association.\n\nA minority of modern scholars have argued, on the other hand, for identifying John the Evangelist or John the Elder with John Mark.\n\nLater sources\n\nThe Acts of Barnabas, apparently an apocryphal work of the 5th century, purports to be written by John Mark and to detail the missionary journey and martyrdom of Barnabas in Cyprus, thus picking up where the account of Acts leaves off.\n\nThe Encomium of the Apostle St. Barnabas, written by Alexander the Monk in the 6th century, also gives an extensive account of the activity of Barnabas and John Mark in Cyprus. After the death of Barnabas, John Mark leaves for Ephesus, and the account then continues by identifying him with Mark the Evangelist.\n\nReferences\n\nPeople in Acts of the Apostles\nGospel of Mark\nMark the Evangelist",

"is a Japanese professional shogi player ranked 9-dan. He is the current holder of the Eiō, Kiō, Kisei, Meijin, Ōi, Ōshō, Ōza and Ryūō titles. He is the youngest person to be awarded professional status by the Japan Shogi Association and one of only five players to become professional while still a junior high school student.\n\nSince becoming a professional, Fujii has broken a number of professional shogi records including being the youngest player to win a professional shogi tournament, the youngest player to challenge for a major title, the youngest player to win a major title, the youngest player to be a 2-crown title holder, the youngest player to defend a major title, the youngest player to be awarded the rank of 9-dan, the youngest to be a 3-crown title holder, the youngest to be a 4-crown title holder, the youngest to be a 5-crown title holder, the youngest to be a 6-crown title holder, the youngest to be a 7-crown title holder, the youngest to win the Meijin title, the youngest to win the Ōza title and becoming the first 8-crown title holder in professional shogi history. He also won his first 29 games as a professional to set a new record for most consecutive games won, and is also the first player to win all current non-title tournaments in a single shogi year.\n\nEarly life and amateur shogi\nFujii was born in Seto, Aichi on July 19, 2002. His mother was a homemaker and his father was a company employee. He learned shogi at age five after being given a shogi set by his grandmother and started out playing games with his grandfather. Eventually he became too strong for his grandfather, so he started taking formal lessons at a neighborhood shogi school. As an elementary school student first-grade student, he began playing games against junior high school and senior high school students to test his skill.\n\nFujii's intense focus surprised his mother and his competitive spirit often led to crying outbursts when he lost. As a second-grade student, he got the opportunity to play a game against shogi professional Kōji Tanigawa as part of a simultaneous exhibition at a shogi event in Nagoya. Due to time limitations, Tanigawa offered Fujii a draw even though Fujii had a losing position. Upset by the offer, Fujii flipped the board and pieces, and then began crying until his mother came to take him away from the board.\n\nFujii was seven years old when met his future professional shogi mentor Masataka Sugimoto for the first time. Sugimoto was amazed by the \"marvelous perspective\" and \"insight\" Fujii showed at such a young age and says that he is \"the personification of fighting spirit\" who \"takes the frustration of defeat and directs it at the next match\".\n\nShogi apprentice professional\nFujii officially entered the shogi professional apprentice school as a 10-year-old under the sponsorship of Sugimoto with the rank of 6-kyū in September 2012. He became the youngest person ever to be promoted to 3-dan in October 2015 at the age of 13 years 2 months. Fujii competed in the \"59th 3-dan league\" with other 3-dan ranked apprentices from April to September 2017 and finished in first place with a 13–5 record to win promotion to the rank of professional 4-dan. He was only the eighth 3-dan player since 1987 to be promoted to professional status after only one season in the \"3-dan league\". Fujii's promotion to full professional status by the JSA became official on October 1, 2017.\n\nShogi professional\n\n20162017: Record breaking debut and early success\nFujii's debut game as a professional was on December 24, 2016, and he defeated 76-year-old Hifumi Katō. Katō was at the time the oldest active shogi professional, and the age gap of 62 years and 6 months between the two players broke the previous record of 58 years and 7 months set in 1986 when 15-year-old Yoshiharu Habu played 74-year-old .\n\nOn April 4, 2017, Fujii defeated Hiroshi Kobayashi to win his 11th straight game since turning professional and break the previous record of 10 jointly held by Yoshiyuki Matsumoto and Masakazu Kondō.\n\nFujii won his 13th game in a row when he defeated Shōta Chida in the round one of the 67th NHK TV Shogi Tournament on April 17, 2017. The game result was posted the same day on the Japan Shogi Association's official website, even though the game was not broadcast on NHK-E until May 14, 2017. This is something which was highly unusual because NHK tournament games are pre-recorded, and game results are not made public until the game is actually broadcast.\n\nFujii became the fastest professional to reach 50 wins in official games on November 21, 2017, when he defeated Shingo Hirafuji. Fujii achieved his 50th win in his 56th official game in just ten months and twenty-nine days since his professional debut, surpassing the previous record held by Habu, who won his 50th game in his 66th game and took one year and two months.\n\n29-game winning streak\nAfter defeating Katō to win his debut game, Fujii proceeded to win his next 28 official games before losing to Yūki Sasaki on July 2, 2017. His 29 consecutive wins broke the previous record of 28 set by Hiroshi Kamiya in 1987.\n\nOpponents\n\nImpact\nFujii's winning streak was widely covered by Japanese and overseas media outlets. His promotion to professional status and his subsequent success was viewed as helping the Japan Shogi Association recover from the scandal of the 29th Ryūō challenger controversy; a scandal which had ultimately led to the resignation of the JSA's president in January 2017, the removal of several directors in February 2017, and a general loss of public confidence.\n\nFujii's streak not only helped the JSA recover from the aforementioned scandal, but also provided an economic boost as well. The streak led to increased sales of shogi books, and other merchandise, etc. as well as a general increase in shogi's popularity nationwide, particularly among young children. Local merchants in Fujii's hometown of Seto held commemorative sales to honor him for the streak and for his 15th birthday, and it was estimated almost 7.4 million people watched the live webcast of Fujii's record-setting victory. Sensu (folding hand fans) signed by Fujii were sold by the JSA in both Tokyo and Osaka in an unusual move since such a thing is typically only reserved for major title holders; the fans, however, quickly sold out at both locations in less than an hour despite there being a limit set at one fan per person, with people lining up in advance to receive a numbered ticket to purchase a fan. Some of the fans sold subsequently showed up on online auction websites where bids up to JPY 15,600 were observed despite the original sale price of about JPY 2,300.\n\nIn December 2017, the JSA estimated that the over all impact of Fujii's streak on its advertizing revenue had been roughly 18.5 billion yen.\nFujii's first official game against a reigning major title holder came on January 14, 2018, when he defeated Meijin Amahiko Satō in the quarterfinals of the .\n\n20182019: Meijin ranking league success and multiple tournament victories \nOn February 1, 2018, Fujii defeated Hirotaka Kajiura in a Meijin Class C2 game to improve his league record to 9 wins and 0 losses and ensure his promotion to Meijin Class C1 in April 2018. Fujii's promotion to Class C1 also meant his promotion to the rank of 5-dan, thus making him the first junior high school student to ever be awarded the rank.\n\nFujii became the youngest player to win a professional shogi tournament on February 17, 2018, when he defeated Akihito Hirose in the final of the 11th Asahi Cup Open. Fujii advanced to the final by defeating the reigning Ryūō and Kisei title holder Yoshiharu Habu in the semi-finals held earlier that same day. Fujii's victory at age 15 years and 6 months broke the previous record of 15 years and 10 months set by Hifumi Katō in 1955. Fujii's victory also meant automatic promotion to the rank of 6-dan, thus making him the youngest player to ever be awarded such a rank by breaking the previous record (also held by Katō) of 16 years and 3 months.\n\nOn March 15, 2018, Fujii defeated Tatsuya Sanmaidō to finish Class 2 play undefeated at 10 wins and 0 losses. Fujii became the first player in six years to finish Class 2 play undefeated. The victory was Fujii's 15th in a row, which made him the holder of the two longest consecutive winning streaks for the 2017 shogi season. Fujii's victory was also his 60th victory overall in a single year which made him not only the 4th player ever to reach 60 wins, but also the youngest player ever to do so.\n\nOn March 28, 2018, Fujii played his final game as a junior high school student and of the 2017 shogi season when he faced Keita Inoue in a third round preliminary round game for the 68th Ōshō Tournament. The game was broadcast live by the Igo & Shogi Channel as part of its \"Shogi Premium\" service. Inoue won the game in 137 moves, thus becoming the first player aged 50 or older to defeat Fujii in an official game. Inoue's victory also stopped Fujii's 16 game winning streak. Fujii's winning streak began after a loss to on Takahiro Ōhashi on January 6, 2018, and included wins over the reigning Meijin title holder Satō, the reigning Ryūō title holder Habu, former Ōshō title holder Hirose, former Ryūō title holder Tetsurō Itodani as well as his first official game against his mentor Sugimoto.\n\nFujii became the youngest player to be promoted to 7-dan when he defeated Kōhei Funae on May 18, 2018. Fujii's win in the championship game for Ryūō Class 5 meant that he achieved Ryōū ranking class promotion for two consecutive years, thus satisfying the promotion criteria for 7-dan. Fujii's record of reaching 7-dan at age 15 years 9 months broke the previous record of 17 years 3 months set by Hifumi Katō in 1957.\n\nIn October 2018, Fujii won his second shogi championship when he defeated apprentice professional Wakamu Deguchi 3-dan 2 games to 0 to win the 49th tournament. Fujii's victory made him the youngest player ever to win the tournament at 16 years and 2 months, breaking the 31-year-old record of 17 years and 0 months set by Toshiyuki Moriuchi in 1987.\n\nFujii at age 16 became the youngest player to win 100 official games as a professional on December 12, 2018. Fujii's victory also made him the fastest (two years and two months since turning professional) to achieve such a result, and his winning percentage of .847 (100 wins and 18 losses) is also the highest of any player to have previously won 100 games.\n\nOn January 8, 2019, Fujii defeated Eisaku Tomioka in Mejin Class C1 league play. The win was Fujii's 18 consecutive win in Meijin League play since debuting as a shogi professional which tied the record set by Makoto Nakahara 52 years earlier. Fujii, however, was defeated by Seiya Kondō in his next league game on February 5, 2019, to end the winning streak.\n\nIn February 2019, Fujii successfully defended his Asahi Cup championship when he defeated Kiō title holder Akira Watanabe to win the 12th Asahi Cup Open tournament.\n\n20202022: Multiple major title victories\nIn March 2020, Fujii became the first shogi professional to achieve a .800 winning percentage or greater for three consecutive years when he defeated Akira Inaba in challenger league play for the 61st Ōi tournament.\n\nFujii defeated Takuya Nagase on June 4, 2020, to earn the right to challenge for the 91st Kisei title. Fujii's victory not only allowed him to become the challenger for a major title for the first time, it also made him the youngest person ever (at the age 17 years, 10 months and 20 days) to challenge for a major title, breaking the record set 31 years earlier by Nobuyuki Yashiki by four days. In title match against Watanabe, Fujii won the first two games before losing Game 3. He then won Game 4 to win the match 3 games to 1 and becomeat the age of 17 years and 11 monthsthe youngest major title holder in professional shogi history.\n\nOn August 20, 2020, Fujii won the Ōi title from Kazuki Kimura. Fujii defeated Kimura 4 games to 0 to win the 61st Ōi title. Fujii's victory made him the youngest person to become a 2-crown title holder and also the youngest person to be promoted to the rank of 8-dan.\n\nIn October 2020. Fujii defeated Tetsurō Itodani to win the 28th . His victory at the age of 18 years and 2 months made him the youngest to ever win the tournament, breaking the record of 21 years and 4 months set in 2005 by . The game was played on October 15, 2020, but the result was not made public until the game was broadcast on December 12, 2020.\n\nIn February 2021, Fujii won the Asahi Cup Open tournament for the third time by defeating Hiroyuki Miura in the finals of the 14th Asahi Cup Open.\n\nOn July 3, 2021, Fujii successfully defended the Kisei title in the 92nd Kisei Tournament, defeating 3 games to 0. His successful title defense made him the youngest player to successfully defend a major title, and also meant that he satisfied the promotion criteria for the rank of 9-dan. Fujii's promotion to 9-dan at age 18 years and 11 months made him the youngest player to ever be promoted to 9-dan.\n\nFujii successively defended his Ōi title in JuneAugust 2021 by defeating challenger Masayuki Toyoshima 4 games to 1 to win the 62nd Ōi title match. Fujii actually lost Game 1 of the match before winning the next four games to retain his crown. In JulySeptember 2021, Fujii challenged Toyoshima for the latter's Eiō title, with Fujii coming out on top again to win the 6th Eiō title match 3 games to 2. Winning the Eiō title made Fujii the youngest 3-crown title holder in history at 19 years and 1 month which broke the previous record of 22 years and 3 months set by in 1993.

", known as Kaoru Kamiya in the Media Blasters English-language dub and Kori Kamiya in the English Sony Samurai X dub, is a fictional character in the Rurouni Kenshin manga created by Nobuhiro Watsuki. In the story Kaoru is the instructor of a kendo school in Tokyo, . The students leave when many people are killed by someone claiming to be the from the Kamiya Kasshin-ryū\", damaging the school's reputation. Kaoru is saved from the murderous impostor by the real Battōsai, Himura Kenshin, now a wanderer who has sworn to stop killing. During the series, Kaoru grows fond of Kenshin due to his good actions to society and becomes his ally.\n\nKaoru also appears in the film version of the series and other media of the franchise, including electronic games and a series of original video animations (OVAs). Although Watsuki wanted to design Kaoru \"more cutely\" and to be \"more fashionable\", he toned down those qualities and made her poor and \"down-to-earth\". There was concern that Watsuki would kill her off, with her critical reception having been mostly positive.\n\nAppearances\n\nRurouni Kenshin\n\nKaoru is the instructor of the Kamiya Kasshin martial-arts school. She inherited her fighting style and a small dojo from her father, who was drafted by a police swordsmen unit and died defending a comrade during the Seinan War. At the beginning of the story, Kaoru has no students and runs the dojo alone; she seems likely to lose it when Kenshin helps her. Despite occasional mood swings and a reputation for bad cooking, she is independent, compassionate, courageous and a good fighter. In her first appearance, Kaoru searches for the assassin Hitokiri Battosai, who claims to be from Kamiya Kasshin-ryu. Kaoru is saved by the real Battosai, Himura Kenshin, and invites him to her dojo. One of her greatest fears is that Kenshin might return to wandering, leaving her alone again, and she is jealous if another girl (such as Takani Megumi) is interested in him. In the series' first story arc, Kaoru gains a student (Myojin Yahiko) and loses one (Tsukayama Yutaro).\n\nWhen the Meiji government requests Kenshin's aid to kill the former Hitokiri Shishio Makoto, he bids Kaoru an emotional farewell and leaves for Kyoto. Kaoru falls into a depression before she follows him to Kyoto after a pep talk from Megumi. With the Oniwabanshu's Makimachi Misao, she defeats one of Shishio's Juppongatana: Honjō Kamatari.\n\nIn Tokyo, after Kaoru learns about Yukishiro Enishi's plans to kill everyone connected to Kenshin she teaches Yahiko the ougi of the Kamiya Kasshin. Enishi says that his goal is not to kill Kenshin, but to make him suffer by killing the person most important to him: Kaoru. He kidnaps her, leaving a replica of her dead body. Convinced that he again failed to save the one who was most important to him, Kenshin flees to the Fallen Village and falls into a catatonic depression. When he learns that Kaoru is alive, he and the group rescue her from Enishi. They marry and have a son, Himura Kenji. Five years later, after taking in Hasegawa Ashitaro, Inoue Aran, and Kubota Asahi into the Kamiya dojo, Kaoru receives information from them that her father is presumably alive and living in Hokkaido, prompting her and her family to travel there in the hopes of reuniting with him.\n\nOther media\nIn Rurouni Kenshin: Reflection, although Kenshin and Kaoru are married he begins wandering again because he needs to help others; he returns every couple of years. Kaoru lets him go, promising to welcome him home with a smile and their child. Kenshin develops a mysterious disease, and Kaoru convinces him to transmit it to her. He leaves to help people in the First Sino-Japanese War, as he had promised the Meiji government. When he returns to Japan, Kenshin collapses in Kaoru's arms and dies. In the pilot issue of Rurouni: Meiji Swordsman Romantic Story, first published in 1992, Kaoru is the sister of Megumi and Yahiko. Many of the character's details changed in her transition to mainstream manga. Kaoru appears in all Rurouni Kenshin video games (including Jump Super Stars and Jump Ultimate Stars), primarily as a supporting character. In the manga reboot Rurouni Kenshin: Restoration, Kaoru works for Takeda Kanryū to regain her dojo. After Kenshin defeats Takeda, she continues living in the dojo with Kenshin and his friends. Kaoru was played by Emi Takei in 2012's Rurouni Kenshin and its three sequels.\n\nConcept\nWatsuki said that he used \"no specific model\" and \"no specific motif\" in designing Kaoru, saying that if he had to name one model it would be Chiba Sanako of Ryōma no Koibito. He wanted to include the \"commanding\" qualities of from Shōtarō Ikenami's Kenkaku Shōbai (剣客商売). According to Watsuki, Kaoru is a \"plain, regular girl\" despite her commanding qualities. By the first Japanese compilation, he thought that the character worked and many female Rurouni Kenshin readers identified with Kaoru. At the time, Watsuki had not decided if Kaoru would be Kenshin's love interest. Although he wanted to design Kaoru \"more cutely\" and to be \"more fashionable\", he toned down those qualities and made her poor and \"down-to-earth\". The artist described her ponytail as \"de rigueur\" for a girl practicing kendo. According to Watsuki, he enjoys drawing Kaoru but filling in her hair is \"sometimes a pain.\" At the end of Rurouni Kenshin, Kaoru received a new hairstyle. Watsuki felt that Kaoru would look odd without her ponytail, but her original hairstyle did not look maternal and he changed it for the ending. When female readers asked Watsuki if Kaoru was a strong fighter, he called the character \"quite independent for her age\" who could \"hold her own\" against the local dojo masters and compete at the national level (although she is weaker than Kenshin and Sagara Sanosuke).\n\nWatsuki said that in volume seven the series took on a more adult tone, influenced by the shōjo manga he was reading at the time. During the series he considered killing Kaoru off, deciding against it in favor of a happy ending for a manga aimed at young readers and influenced by the previous story arc's upbeat ending. However, he thought the storyline then lost its main theme (revenge); readers praised and criticized the twist. Watsuki apologized to his young audience for the dark chapters suggesting that Kaoru was dead. Miki Fujitani (who voices the character) said in an interview that in the OVA series Kaoru is brave and very different from her original version whose characterization has been felt closer to the calm Yukishiro Tomoe. Watsuki described Tomo Sakurai's CD-drama voice as \"not too airhead-y,\" \"not too high\" and \"not too low.\"\n\nReception\nKaoru has been popular with Rurouni Kenshin readers, placing fourth or fifth in every popularity poll. Kaoru merchandise includes plushes, keychains and sweatbands. Manga, anime and video-game publications have responded positively to Kaoru; in T.H.E.M. Anime Reviews, Carlos Ross called her a \"spirited girl\". Kaoru and Kenshin's relationship ranked eighth in About.com's \"Top 8 Anime Love Stories\", with Katherine Luther calling it a \"classic romance.\" Rebecca Silverman of Anime News Network was disappointed by Kaoru's lack of development in the series Rurouni Kenshin Restoration. SciFi.com liked her character due to how Kaoru does not see Kenshin as the past murderer Battosai but instead as a kind wanderer who wants protect others. The writer also enjoyed the good actions Kaoru does like protecting Yahiko in early episodes. Megan Lavey from Mania Entertainment found Kaoru more appealing in the manga version over the anime adaptation due to that, while in both versions it is obvious that she has romantic feelings for Kenshin, in the manga she has a better understanding of Kenshin's darker persona most notably when former assassin prepares to leave Tokyo. For the final arc in the manga, Mania Entertainment felt that twist that happens shortly after Kenshin's battle with Enishi helps to show why Kaoru loves Kenshin carefully.\n\nKaoru's Reflection OVA series version was criticized; Efrain Diaz, Jr. of IGN wrote that although some of Kenshin and Kaoru's private moments are touching, others are depressing. According to Anime News Network's Mike Crandol, Kaoru is the least visually successful character redesign in the Reflection OVA. Citing the manga version's \"distinctive girlish charm\", Crandol said that the staff members tried too hard to make her look like Yukishiro Tomoe. Don Houston from DVD Talk noted the controversy between the fandom as they refrained from treating Reflection as canon due to how tragic the life of Kaoru and Kenshin's family became. About.com's Serdar Yegulalp felt the romance between Kaoru and Kenshin was entertaining to watch but at the same time criticized they often acted out of character, commenting on how Kaoru lets her husband leave the house in contrast to how in the original series, Kenshin left Tokyo while still not married with her. Ridwan Khan from Animefringe praised the romance between Kaoru and Kenshin, feeling it was well developed in the OVAs and served as a fitting finale to the series. On a more negative review, Carl Kimlinger stated that Kaoru was one of the most damaged characters in the OVAs as a result of being a more stereotipycal female character waiting for her husband to come back home rather than Watsuki's original version where Kaoru would not allow Kenshin to leave or instead go with him when he leaves Tokyo to work. According to Ashley D. Lake from UC Riverside, Kaoru represents the Daitō-ryū Aiki-jūjutsu values defied in the Meiji era that Kenshin chooses to protect due to the values it offers to people, something rare in anime series due to prominent violence during the time Rurouni Kenshin premiered in Japan.\n\nABC CBN's Karen Flores praised Emi Takei's portrayal of the character in the first live-action film, stating the actress played her character just like the one from the manga and anime. However, she was criticized for lacking her tomboyish traits when interacting with the young Myojin Yahiko. The lack of the love triangle between Kaoru, Kenshin and Takani Megumi was criticized by Ko Ransom from Anime News Network, as the writer noted the first film covered too many subplots. David West from Neo lamented Kaoru had few appearances in the final film, citing her role in the previous ones appealing.\n\nReferences\n\nComics characters introduced in 1994\nFemale characters in anime and manga\nFemale soldier and warrior characters in anime and manga\nFictional female martial artists\nFictional female swordfighters\nFictional Japanese people in anime and manga\nFictional kendoka\nFictional martial arts trainers\nFictional swordfighters in anime and manga\nMartial artist characters in anime and manga\nRurouni Kenshin characters\nTeenage characters in anime and manga",

", ( 1968 - 2005 ) , often shortened to Nishiki, is a fictional character from Sega's action-adventure game series Like a Dragon, previously titled Yakuza outside of Japan. He is the sworn brother and childhood best friend of series protagonist Kazuma Kiryu, who insists on taking the blame for Nishiki after he murdered their boss, which resulted in Kiryu's expulsion from the Tojo Clan, the dominant yakuza organization in Tokyo, and his imprisonment for ten years. Nishiki establishes the Nishikiyama Family as a \"subsidiary\" of the Tojo Clan, and later triggers an internal power struggle for the clan's leadership shortly after Kiryu's release, leading to the two men becoming mortal enemies. Nishiki also appears as a supporting character in the prequel installment, Yakuza 0, which follows Kiryu's early years as a low-ranking member of the Tojo Clan. For Yakuza Kiwami, the remake of the original Yakuza, Nishiki's role in the narrative is expanded, with his motivations being more clearly explained.\n\nHe is voiced by Kazuhiro Nakaya in Japanese, and by Michael Rosenbaum in the English version of the first game. The character of Nishiki is positively received, particularly for his expanded story arc in Kiwami and when it is contrasted with his depiction as a benevolent character in 0.\n\nCreation and development\nNishikiyama has a tattoo on his back of a koi, a type of Asian carp which symbolizes strength and bravery and alludes to his namesake. The carp is closely connected to the dragon, based on the Chinese mythological tale of carps leaping over the Dragon Gate. According to the legend, carp that swim up the Yellow River in China and leap over a legendary waterfall known as the \"Dragon's Gate\" are transformed into dragons. This piece is done in the nukibori style, which means it does not have a background like Kiryu's dragon tattoo. The design shows an ascending koi, which thematically underscores the character and his relationship to Kiryu in the Yakuza storyline. Red and black are considered two of Japanese tattooing's traditional colors, which is intended to make Nishiki's tattoo especially striking. In the past prior to the widespread use of safer synthetic inks, the color red was considered to be especially macho in Japanese tattooing because of the harmful pigments it may have contained.\n\nNishiki's English voice actor, Michael Rosenbaum, was offered the role by a producer who had worked with Rosenbaum for the video game Gladius, and he was shown a completed version of the game for his consideration prior to joining the project. During an interview, he described Yakuza as \"a little movie\" and the kind of game that appeals to him, which motivates him to put in the effort for a good performance. He noted that recording sessions would last up to four or five hours long with a lot of dialogue to go through, hence it is not possible to do them together with other cast members in the studio due to the length of time required.\n\nFor the remake of the first Yakuza game, Yakuza Kiwami, a major theme presented by the developers of the Yakuza franchise was whether Nishiki was fated to betray Kiryu or whether he is simply a victim of circumstance. Sega aimed to show the reasonings behind Nishikiyama's corruption due to how he changes from Kiryu's sworn brother to a calculating and cruel mafioso. The character's Japanese voice actor, Kazuhiro Nakaya, noted that after reading the script for Kiwami, it was so rough on him that he felt like not reading any scripts for a while.\n\nAppearances\n\nVideo games\n\nYakuza\nAlong with his sister Yuko, Nishiki grew up with Kiryu and Yumi Sawamura in Shintaro Kazama's Sunflower Orphanage, before joining Kazama's yakuza family in his teenage years. In 1995, Nishiki fatally shoots his boss, Sohei Dojima, to protect Yumi after she is kidnapped and sexually assaulted by Dojima. Kiryu tells him to flee the scene with Yumi so that Nishiki does not inadvertently abandon his responsibility to the family, and Nishiki reluctantly allows Kiryu to take the fall for his crime so he could tend to his terminally ill sister. When Kiryu returns to Kamurocho, he finds that Nishiki, the man he willingly gave up a decade of his freedom for, has betrayed Kazama to form his own family, and has changed into a cold, heartless man completely unlike his former self. Nishiki makes it clear he intends to seize control of the Tojo Clan of Tokyo, and makes a number of attempts on Kiryu's life.\n\nIt is later revealed that Reina, a bar owner and informant for Kiryu, was a mole for Nishiki all along. Because she was in love with him, she betrayed Kiryu, but then tried to kill him herself out of regret before being murdered by one of Nishiki's hitmen. Nishiki reveals in the final chapter of the story that he is aware of Jingu's scheme to manipulate the Tojo Clan, but doesn't care. After Kiryu went to prison and his sister died from complications of her heart condition, he chose to stop trusting anyone but himself. He reveals his romantic feelings towards Yumi, and that he that was jealous of Kiryu because she loves him, and because Kiryu was always stronger and more popular than him. Wanting to surpass Kiryu, he made sacrifices and numerous betrayals in order to claim the ten billion yen so that he may become the Tojo Clan's fourth chairman. With that realized, he would claim Yumi for himself. Yumi asks Nishiki if he is truly happy with the things he's done because of his obsession, and that he has failed to confront his inner problems. Nishiki scolds Yumi for not falling in love with the person he is, which makes her cry. Kiryu then tells Nishiki how he and Yumi are both irreplaceable to him. He couldn't change the hurt and pain from the past, even if he wanted to. Vowing to settle their feud once and for all, Nishiki accepts this final showdown with his former blood brother Kiryu, both removing their shirts to display their yakuza tattoos on their backs - the dragon and the koi. They fight to the bitter end, but Kiryu eventually wins. After Jingu fatally shoots Yumi while trying to kill Kiryu, Nishiki redeems himself by stabbing Jingu with a knife, giving up on the money he coveted and detonating a bomb to kill himself and Jingu.\n\nYakuza 0\nA 20 year old ( 1988 ) Nishiki appears in Yakuza 0, which is set seventeen years before the original Yakuza, where he is the first major character Kiryu interacts with. During the opening sequence of the game, Kiryu and Nishiki casually saunter through the streets of Kamurocho; players can hold a button to automatically walk beside Nishiki as he and Kiryu explore Kamurocho together. Nishikiyama is willing to support Kiryu when he finds himself kicked out of the Dojima Clan after he is accused of killing a man he had beaten up for a debt collection task during the opening sequence of the game. While Nishiki turns on his sworn brother a couple times over the course of the game, he always changes his mind and sides with Kiryu, even confessing at one point his inferiority complex towards Kiryu and that he is nothing without him, culminating in the duo teaming up together to unravel a conspiracy that threatens the balance of power within the Tojo Clan. In contrast to his original characterization, he is depicted as a warm and loving, if impulsive and emotional loudmouth who is image conscious and inclined to fun-loving pursuits. At certain points in the game's narrative, the player-controlled Kiryu can partake in multiple side activities together with Nishiki, such as going to karaoke establishments, batting cages together, and shopping for new suits. There are also instances where they fight alongside each other and can engage in unique team up moves against enemies.\n\nYakuza Kiwami\nYakuza Kiwami expands on the original game's story to follow Nishiki's rise to power during the ten years Kiryu was away, through a series of flashback cutscenes punctuating each chapter of the game which run parallel to Kiryu's story. Nishiki is shown being thrust into a leadership role that was meant for Kiryu, and the combination of stress from having to cope with his sister succumbing to a terminal illness and his guilt over letting Kiryu be punished for his crime prevents him from acting decisively as boss, allowing his subordinates to treat him with disrespect and steal from other yakuza families, while letting Nishiki take the blame for their actions. Nishiki finally snaps and decides to kill himself, but even then one of his tormentors interrupts him, triggering an epiphany for Nishiki in which he realizes that he must surpass Kiryu in every way in order to finally be content. Stabbing his tormentor to death, he transforms himself into a cold, calculating yakuza boss. This single-minded pursuit changes Nishiki so much that he spends the duration of the game trying to prove himself by killing Kiryu, having decided that he will never be complete until he has destroyed the legend of the \"Dragon of Dojima\".\n\nFurther appearances\nNishiki is occasionally referenced in sequel installments to the original Yakuza. In Yakuza 2 and its remake Yakuza Kiwami 2, Kiryu pays his respects to Nishiki at his grave, which is situated alongside the graves of Shintaro Kazama and Yumi Sawamura. The player will then have the option to play a recap of major events in the previous game, which are by narrated by Kiryu in flashback sequences. Nishiki's avatar is used in Ryū ga Gotoku Ishin! for the samurai assassin Okada Izō. The character appears as the final boss of the promotional freeware game Streets of Kamurocho, developed and released as part of Sega's 60th anniversary celebrations in October 2020.\n\nIn other media\nFor the live action film adaptations of Yakuza Akira Nishikiyama is portrayed by Mikio Ohosawa in Like a Dragon: Prologue, and by Claude Maki in Like a Dragon. Gaku Sano played Akira Nishikiyama for the stage play adaptation. Directed by Takahiro Tamura, the stage play ran with eight performances from April 24 to April 29, 2015, at the Akasaka ACT Theater in Akasaka, Minato Ward in Tokyo, Japan.\n\nAnalysis\nSam Greszes from Polygon opined that the conflict between positive and toxic masculinity is at the core of the Yakuza franchise, and it is exemplified in the deterioration of Kiryu's relationship with Nishiki; he believes that Nishiki's circumstances are a clear representation of the horrific manner in which toxic masculinity can warp an individual's personality. Greszes was of the view that Nishiki's inferiority complex, borne from being unfavorably compared with Kiryu by his adopted father and other members of the Tojo Clan, combined with a series of personal tragedies culminating in his sister's tragic death, led him to become cold and unfeeling instead of grappling with his own intense pain and sadness. Greszes suggested that this causes men such as Nishiki - consumed by ambition, abuse, or deep emotional repression - to violently and randomly lash out at other men, to emotionally and physically abuse women, and to betray trusted friends.\n\nAndrew Tarantola from Engadget suggested that the majority of Kiryu's growth as a character in the series comes through his attempts to shield individuals he considers to be family from harm, such as Nishiki, and noted that he has many \"families\" with a complex degree of overlap and contradictory requirements between them. For example, Nishiki and Yumi were two-thirds of Kiryu's earliest family at Sunflower orphanage but also exist as part of the Serena Bar community, where Yumi worked with Reina, and where Nishiki and Kiryu were regular customers. Concurrently, Nishikiyama and Kazama make up the nexus of the Tojima Clan, while Reina's unrequited love for Nishikiyama led her to betray Kiryu and other loyalists of the Tojo Clan, demonstrating the constant tension and competition between these factions and relationships. Series producer Masayoshi Yokoyama suggested that Kiryu never made any strong advances towards Yumi, his love interest in the original Yakuza because of Nishiki, but did not elaborate on whether Kiryu abstained out of respect or deterrence.\n\nJay Castello from Eurogamer suggested that the series as a whole, particularly Yakuza Kiwami, is underpinned by the key theme of fatherhood. They suggested that both 0 and Kiwami demonstrate how both Nishiki and Kiryu were failed by their father figure, Shintaro Kazama, and that this failure is the true tragedy of the story arc. They noted that this theme comes from a specifically Japanese perspective, and is tied to the culture and structure of real-life yakuza crime families. Castello emphasized that Nishiki's loneliness and isolation, as he is often struggling to cope with his personal issues and does not have a support network of many other characters unlike Kiryu, is further compounded by what they identified as Kazama's favoritism for Kiryu and being a consistently absent parental figure to Nishiki. Castello observed that Kiwami also deals deeply with themes of accountability, noting that Kiryu came to realize that his decision to take the fall for Nishiki prevented both of them from dealing with the full extent of their responsibilities. Castello pointed out that Nishiki's final act as an apologetic gesture is to save Kiryu and his adoptive daughter Haruka Sawamura and destroy the money he had once been fighting for, albeit in the only way he knew how to: being over the top and driven purely by emotion.\n\nReception\n\nAkira Nishikiyama has received a positive reception, and remains a popular character with the series' fanbase. In a 2018 popularity poll, Nishiki was voted as the 7th best Yakuza character.\n\nSome reviewers agree that the release of Yakuza 0 in 2015 added a new depth to the Yakuza series, particularly to its first entry and to the character of Nishiki. Castello noted that 0 was released before Kiwami further fleshed out Nishiki's backstory with additional cutscene flashbacks, and it showed several facets to Nishiki's character which ultimately contribute to his downfall. Richard Dobson from TheXboxHub commented that Nishiki's stark difference in personality from 0 to its sequel never needed explaining on account of 0 not existing as a prequel prior to the original game's release. Heather Alexandra from Kotaku observed that 0 takes extra time to keep Nishiki and Kiryu involved with each other; this is expressed by scenes where the pair remain close to each other, punctuated by slower movements and close proximity which conveys familiarity and comfort. They noted that these small interactions and Nishiki's ability to actually aid Kiryu in combat in 0 helps form a bond that did not exist in the original game.\n\nThere is a consensus that the additional cutscenes in Kiwami which focus on Nishiki help add further depth to the character and build upon his role in 0, which made Nishiki transitioning from a meek wise-guy to a bloodthirsty yakuza boss believable. Janine Hawkins from Polygon opined that the Nishiki-centered cutscenes are undoubtedly \"the soul of the game\". She praised the character's voice acting and facial animations, noting that she found the overall virtual performance so powerful that she could not be distracted by any underlying flaws and that the \"pathos of Nishiki's side of the story could almost carry this game on its own because of that power\". She found that it effectively \"weaponizes all that fascinating, near-hypnotic emotiveness\", in spite of the fact that much of Nishiki's story arc \"verges on cheap\".\n\nAlexandra proclaimed Nishiki to be one of gaming's best antagonists, through strong writing and gameplay contrasts between Yakuza 0 and Yakuza Kiwami. She noted that while the writing for Kiwami does a lot to show Nishiki's changing personality, he hardly comes face to face with Kiryu for the majority of its events; but when paired with 0, the series makes direct changes to its gameplay that stress the gap between Nishiki and Kiryu. Alexandra formed a view that the developers is able to give the sworn brothers' tragic final meeting a true sense of gravitas through a juxtaposed narrative and shifts in gameplay, and that players gets a sense that Kiryu has lost a dear friend, which in Alexandra's view is far more memorable than any evil overlord.\n\nAlexandra also praised the boss fight with Nishiki in Kiwami, calling it \"a brutal display of tragic violence, a catharsis of pent-up emotion that finally explodes in a flurry of kicks and punches\". In the same way characters in musicals sing to express their abundance of feelings, Alexandra compared it to Kiryu and Nishiki having a boss fight, and \"that final release of emotions somehow clears the air\". Peter Glagowski from Destructoid was less impressed with the boss battles in Kiwami, noting that the remake of the original game almost plays like a \"best of\" version of the entire series. He is disappointed that certain boss fights utilize enemy patterns from Yakuza 2 and Yakuza 3, and completely disregards Kiryu's different combat styles, \"apart from some tacked-on heat actions that require you to change\". He criticized the bosses' tendency to regenerate health while the player had to change styles to perform a special finisher.\n\nJosh Wise from Videogamer.com suggested that the developers ought to choose Nishiki as the lead character of a potential sequel to Yakuza 0 as he is a compelling character in his own right, and that it should take place during the interluding ten years when Kiryu is imprisoned.\n\nNotes\n\nReferences\n\nAction-adventure game characters\nFictional Japanese people in video games\nFictional crime bosses\nFictional criminals in video games\nFictional male martial artists\nFictional martial artists in video games\nFictional murderers\nFictional yakuza\nMale characters in video games\nOrphan characters in video games\nSega antagonists\nVideo game bosses\nVideo game characters introduced in 2005\nVideo game sidekicks\nYakuza (franchise)",
"is the nickname of , a Japanese thief and folk hero who lived in Edo (present-day Tokyo) during the Edo period.\n\nHis exploits have been commemorated in kabuki theatre, folk songs, jidaigeki, and modern pop culture.\n\nCapture and tattoo\nIn 1822, he was caught and tattooed, and banished from Edo. On August 8, 1831, he was captured again, and confessed to the burglary of over 100 samurai estates and the impressive theft of over 30,000 ryō throughout his 15-year career. He was tied to a horse and paraded in public before being beheaded at the Suzugamori execution grounds. His head was then publicly displayed on a stake. He was buried at Ekō-in located in the Ryōgoku section of Tokyo. So many pilgrims have chipped away pieces of his tombstone for charms that his headstone has had to have been replaced a number of times since his death.\n\nBackground\nAt the time of the arrest, Jirokichi was found to have very little money. This, combined with the public humiliation he dealt out to the daimyō, resulted in the popular legend that he gave the money to the poor, turning the petty crook into a posthumous folk hero similar to Robin Hood. The fact that he died alone, serving his wives with divorce papers just prior to arrest in order to protect them from sharing in the punishment as the law decreed, further enhanced his stature.\n\nNickname\nJirokichi's nickname Nezumi Kozō roughly means \"Rat Kid\".\n\nThe word nezumi means \"rat\" or \"mouse\" and kozō translates to \"kid, brat\". The term kozō is a somewhat pejorative word for any young male.\n\n. In actuality, even though the nickname containing the term kozō was frequently applied to pickpockets, there are many other instances where it became the epithet of other types of criminals.\n\nMedia \n Nezumi, Edo wo hashiru: a Japanese television series relating the adventures of Nezumi Kozo, with Hideaki Takizawa in the main part.\n In the game Persona 5, the main character is shown wearing a t-shirt referencing the year of his birth and there is a pop quiz question related to his execution.\n In an episode of Lupin III Part 2, Nezumi Kozō's fourth descendant, named Rat Boy Jirokichi IV, teams up with Goemon Ishikawa XIII to pull off a heist in the Sakuradamon Police Station.\n\nSee also\nCriminal punishment in Edo-period Japan\nIshikawa Goemon\n\nExplanatory notes\n\nReferences \nCitations\n\nBibliography\n\nExternal links\n\n Robin Hoods of the World: Japan's Jirokichi the Rat from the BBC\n\n1831 deaths\n1797 births\nJapanese folklore\nJapanese thieves\n19th-century executions by Japan\nExecuted Japanese people\nPeople executed by Japan by decapitation\nNinja",

"is a fictional character in the manga Yu-Gi-Oh! by Kazuki Takahashi. As the majority shareholder and CEO of his own multi-national gaming company, Kaiba Corporation, Kaiba is reputed to be Japan's greatest gamer and aims to become the world's greatest player of the American card game, Duel Monsters (Magic & Wizards in the Japanese manga). In all mediums, his arch-rival is the protagonist of the series, Yugi Mutou, who is also a superb game player. He is the modern day reincarnation of one of the Pharaoh's Six High Priests, \"Priest Seto\", who appears in the manga's final arc. Kaiba has also appeared in related anime works and feature films.\n\nSeto Kaiba originates from one of the stories Takahashi heard from a friend involving a selfish card collector. Like the card collector, Kaiba is obsessed with gaming, but Takahashi also gave Kaiba a calmer demeanor when developing his relationship with his rival. He was first voiced by Hikaru Midorikawa in Japanese with Kenjirō Tsuda replacing him in the sequel Duel Monsters. Eric Stuart voiced him in all of his English appearances.\n\nCritical reception to Kaiba has been mixed for being compared to simplistic anime rivals based on his multiple attempts to defeat Yugi and become the superior Duel Monsters player. While his development in the film Dark Side of Dimensions was praised for being the major focus in the narrative, critics still felt Kaiba was obsessed with Duel Monsters to a ridiculous extent based on his continued focus on his original goal.\n\nCreation and development\n\nSeto Kaiba originates from Kazuki Takahashi's stories he was told by a friend. According to the story, there was a real life person who played trading cards but was unwilling to play with him because he was not an expert. Displeased with hearing about this person, Takahashi decided to use this cardgame collector as a manga character, resulting in Kaiba's creation. \n\nIn the making of the series, Takahashi wanted to create an appealing creature for his Duel Monster fight with Yugi Mutou. Named the \"Blue-Eyes White Dragon\", he wanted it \"to evoke a feeling that would allow readers to conjure up its colors\". This later led to the creation of Kisara for the series' final arc where her origins are connected with Kaiba.\n\nAccording to Takahashi, while Yugi and Kaiba are rivals, they are not close friends. He believes, however, the most important part of their relationship is before Yugi's duel against Marik's alter-ego. Before the game begins, Kaiba passes Yugi a card that could help him in the game. This scene felt like one of the most difficult scenes to write because of the pair's rivalry. According to Takahashi, the feelings of for Kisara are the basis behind Kaiba's modern-day obsession with the Blue Eyes White Dragon. Takahashi views Kaiba as Yugi's archnemesis and thus consider Yugi a highly important character because without him, Kaiba would not have a reason to exist.\n\nIn the second Japanese anime adaptation of the Yu-Gi-Oh series, Kaiba is voiced by Kenjiro Tsuda. Tsuda expressed a dislike towards his character as he would not befriend him as according to him \"I definitely don't want to become friends with him. I don't think anyone really does,\" he said while laughing. He also added that if he ever met Kaiba he would say \"Glad to see you're doing well\" and \"I'm always in your care.\" Nevertheless, he regarded Kaiba as both as a \"strong\" and \"unique\" character on his own.\n\nEnglish voice actor Eric Stuart felt he connected to Kaiba. He noted that most fans tend to view him as a villain but he instead views him as a rival as, according to Stuart, Kaiba's role is to strengthen Yugi's skills. However, he noted that for the film Dark Side of Dimensions, Kaiba has changed ever since his introduction due to his obsession with power, thus making Stuart wanted to give him an edge in his personality. Nevertheless, he views Kaiba's characterization as consistent.\n\nAppearances\n\nIn the Yu-Gi-Oh! manga\nIn his introduction, Kaiba discovers that the grandfather of his classmate, Yugi Mutou, owns the rare Blue-Eyes White Dragon card. Dark Yugi emerges from within Yugi's Millennium Puzzle to challenge Kaiba a Shadow Game to reclaim it. Kaiba is defeated, suffering Dark Yugi's Penalty Game: . Kaiba plots a revenge. He acquires the other three Blue-Eyes White Dragon cards in existence through extortion and blackmail and builds \"Death T,\" a \"theme park\" made up of many deadly games designed to end the lives of Yugi and his friends. He defeats Sugoroku and tears up his Blue-Eyes White Dragon and subjects him to an artificial Penalty Game that mimicked his own, forcing Yugi to participate in Death-T or else he will kill his grandfather. Yugi once again defeats him and uses the power of his Millennium Puzzle to subject Kaiba to a Penalty Game, leaving him in a coma.\n\nDuel Monsters creator and Millennium Eye wielder Maximillion Pegasus schemes to take control of from Seto by conspiring with its board of directors, the Big Five, and abducting his brother Mokuba. After Kaiba wakes up from his coma, he gets wind of Pegasus' plans and his kidnap of Mokuba, and travels to Duelist Kingdom. Kaiba regains his deck and briefly battles Jonouchi. Kaiba and Yugi later play the game atop the castle parapets. Kaiba is once again on the cusp of defeat, until he places his own life on danger by balancing on the edge of the turret, forcing Yugi into a moral corner. Dark Yugi nearly kills Kaiba, but Yugi forces him to forfeit the game in fear of killing his opponent. Kaiba goes on to duel Pegasus, but is overcome by the power of his Millennium Eye and is defeated. Pegasus gives Seto Kaiba the Mind Card Penalty Game, sealing his soul into a card, but when Dark Yugi defeats Pegasus in a Shadow Game during the final round of the tournament, the Kaiba brothers are both freed from their Penalty Games.\n\nIn the Battle City arc, Kaiba is summoned to the Domino City museum by Egyptologist Ishizu Ishtar, Kaiba is shown the ancient stone tablet that depicts a battle between what appears to be his past self and the Pharaoh. He is interested in her tale of the God Cards – three powerful one-of-a-kind cards that Pegasus had entrusted to her. Two, however, were already stolen by her brother Marik and his Ghouls organization, and she gives the third – God of Obelisk – to Kaiba, encouraging him to hold a tournament of his own to lure in Marik and his organization of the gaming underworld, who he views as counterfeiting scum that deserve to be crushed. Seeking to obtain the remaining two God Cards for himself and eliminating the organization of bootleggers, Kaiba agrees, and begins his \"Battle City\" competition. During the tournament, Kaiba teams up with Dark Yugi to rescue Mokuba and Yugi's friends from the clutches of Marik and his deadly games. Afterward, Yugi, Kaiba and Jonouchi enter the finals, unaware that Marik has made a deal with Dark Bakura, and he, along with Marik and Marik's stepbrother Rishid, are registered as well. Kaiba trumps Ishizu's prophecy of defeat and claims victory. Kaiba faces Yugi in the semifinals, and the two unleash their God Cards against the other. Yugi manages to defeat Kaiba and go on to the final battle against Dark Marik. Kaiba gives Yugi the card Fiend Sanctuary prior to the duel, and with it, Yugi is able to hold off the attacks of Dark Marik's Sun Dragon Ra and defeat him in his Shadow Game.\n\nAnime arcs\nShortly after his return from the Duelist Kingdom, the Big Five attempt to appease an outraged Kaiba by revealing that they have finalized his virtual reality game software, and invite him to test it out for himself. However, this was another attempt to do away with Kaiba, but Yugi and his friends manage to rescue him. The Big Five log into the virtual world in an attempt to stop them from escaping, but they are defeated in a duel, and their own minds became trapped in the virtual reality program. Some time later, in the midst of the Battle City tournament, the Big Five's digital consciousnesses are discovered stranded in cyberspace by a mysterious boy named Noah, who recruits them for a revenge campaign against Kaiba. Noah admits to being Gozaburo Kaiba's biological son, and claims his mind exists as a computer program after he was fatally wounded as a child and later digitized. After Noah is defeated, Gozaburo reveals himself as alive and inside the Virtual World, and sets a series of orbital missiles to launch and destroy the world. While Kaiba stops Gozaburo, a reformed Noah reprograms one of the satellites to attack the main computer database and helps Yugi and his friends escape.\n\nIn Season 4 of the anime, Kaiba, along with Jonouchi and Yugi, is one of three duelists chosen to fight the Atlantean King Dartz. During the season, Kaiba meets Amelda, an orphan whose brother and parents were killed by KaibaCorp-owned military forces under Gozaburo Kaiba's command. Due to his love for his brother, Kaiba becomes sympathetic to Amelda and carries his soul-less body to safety after their duel. Kaiba and Dark Yugi eventually duel Dartz, and although Kaiba loses, Dark Yugi defeats Dartz and Kaiba is restored, taking part in the battle against the Great Leviathan.\n\nIn the first half of season 5, KaibaCorp's stock prices are at an all-time low as a result of a failed takeover by Dartz, and when Kaiba hosts a tournament to restore the company's reputation, Zigfried von Schroeder infiltrates it and hacks Kaiba's computer systems. Catching Zigfried, Kaiba dispatches him a duel. However, Zigfried has his brother Leon duel Yugi in the finals. During the duel, Zigfried tricks Leon into activating Golden Castle of Stromberg, releasing a computer virus into Kaiba's system and forcing Leon to attack and thus forcing his hand. However, Yugi prevails while Kaiba, who anticipating such a plan, has already had his computer systems backed up.\n\nSeto Kaiba's only appearance in the original manga version of the Millennium World arc is in the last chapter. Although Seto Kaiba does not take part in the Shadow RPG during the Millennium World arc of the manga, in the anime, Dark Bakura gives him the Millennium Eye, which begins to show Kaiba visions and convinces him to fly to Egypt to determine if they are real or not. During the final battle, he is able to hold his ground against Zorc. In the original Japanese anime, Kaiba eventually does acknowledge his past and the events that occurred in the Memory World Shadow RPG.\n\nYu-Gi-Oh! (1999 film)\nSeto Kaiba is the main antagonist of the Yu-Gi-Oh! movie, which was produced by Toei Animation in 1999. In this film, Kaiba, learns about Shougo Aoyama's Red-Eyes Black Dragon, organizes a tournament where strong duelists are invited - and attendance is mandatory. Shougo and Yugi Muto are later chased down and roughed up by Kaiba's henchmen from KaibaCorp, with Kaiba's henchmen overpowering both of them and stealing Yugi's Millennium Puzzle. Now Yugi must enter Kaiba's tournament and show Shougo that one can have both the potential and the power to become a true Duelist. After the game, Kaiba tells Yugi that their battle is not over yet, informing Yugi that he is the only one in the world worth fighting as he leaves the arena.\n\nYu-Gi-Oh! The Movie: The Pyramid of Light\nKaiba makes an appearance in Yu-Gi-Oh! The Movie: The Pyramid of Light. In the wake of his defeat at the Battle City Tournament, Seto began to suggest a means of defeating the three Egyptian God Cards that Yugi now holds, in order to defeat him and reclaim his title as world champion. His quest led him to Pegasus, theorizing that Pegasus would not have created the Egyptian God Cards without creating some means of destroying them. Wagering his three Blue-Eyes White Dragons against the card that Pegasus promised him, Kaiba succeeded in winning their duel, only to find two cards within Pegasus's deck that could accomplish what he sought. Kaiba challenges Yugi to yet another duel in his Duel Dome, and put the first of the two cards into play – the enigmatic \"Pyramid of Light,\" which prevented the Egyptian God Cards from participating in the battle. As the duel proceeded, however, it was revealed that Kaiba had been used as a puppet for the ancient Egyptian sorcerer, Anubis, who had placed the Pyramid of Light card in Pegasus's deck. The Pyramid's powers were draining the lifeforces of Yugi and Kaiba as the duel progressed, eventually resurrecting Anubis, who dispatched Kaiba and took his place in the duel. With Kaiba's aid, however, Yugi put the second mighty card into play – the Blue-Eyes Shining Dragon, able to destroy any card in play. The Shining Dragon destroyed the Pyramid of Light, and later wiped out Anubis.\n\nYu-Gi-Oh Dark Side of Dimensions\nKaiba has commissioned an excavation to retrieve the disassembled Millennium Puzzle from the ruins of the Millennium chamber. The item had previously housed the spirit of his longtime rival, Pharaoh Atem, whom he hopes to \"return to life\" in order to settle their ancient score. The excavation is interrupted by Diva, who faces Kaiba in a game of Duel Monsters and steals two pieces of the recovered Puzzle. He keeps one fragment and gives the other to his younger sister Sera, who passes it on to Yugi Muto, as he is the only one who can reassemble the Puzzle, being host of the Nameless Pharaoh. Kaiba has a computer that rebuilds the Millennium Puzzle and discovers the last two pieces are missing. He abducts Diva and approaches Yugi, so he can have the two take part in the showcasing of his updated Duel Disk virtual reality technology. He intends to duel both Diva and Yugi, while gambling their pieces of the puzzle. However, Yugi is furious with Diva over what he did to Bakura and insists he duel him instead, which Kaiba agrees to. Yugi defeats Diva, resulting in Bakura's return to reality, and while dueling Kaiba, Yugi re-completes the Millennium Puzzle to demonstrate that the spirit of Atem is no longer inside it. Diva becomes corrupted by the incredible evil powers of the Millennium Ring, and duels both Yugi and Kaiba. Kaiba sacrifices himself during the Duel and makes a final plea for Yugi to call forth Atem. Yugi succeeds in doing so, and he and Atem defeat Diva with ease. Atem and the Millennium Puzzle then fade away, and Kaiba and everyone else return to reality. The film concludes with Kaiba using his technology in conjunction with the Quantum Cube to transport his own consciousness to the Afterlife and face Atem.\n\nAppearances in other media\nThough not seen much in the Yu-Gi-Oh! GX series. Kaiba is referred as the one who owns and started Duel Academy (Duel Academia) and named the dormitories personally. He has made several appearances, the first being when he makes a bet on his ownership of the school. Another few times were in flashbacks, once where Jaden remembers a competition he entered that was held by the KaibaCorp and another when a reporter sneaks into Duel Academy. The Duel Spirit Kaibaman also appears. Kaiba's only appearance in person comes when Sartorius visits him to request the use of his Kaiba Land amusement park. Kaiba has not made any other appearance since, though it has been shown that he is the only surviving citizen of Trueman's invasion in Domino City. The Kaiba Dome is seen often in Yu-Gi-Oh! 5D's. His company Kaiba Corp is responsible for turning Domino City into New Domino City.\n\nKaiba also appears in some of the Yu-Gi-Oh! video games as an opponent which the player can duel (or play as) as well as the crossover Jump Force.\n\nReception\n\nCritical reception to Kaiba has been mixed. DVD Talk describes Kaiba as an unlikely ally to Yugi but saw his defeat in the third story arc as predictable. For the fourth season, the reviewer described Kaiba as one of the last heroes. Dan Green and Eric Stuart's voice talents were praised though their deliveries were subject of negative response. THEM Anime Reviews criticized him while comparing him with another stereotypical rival, Dragon Ball character Vegeta as both possess simplistic characterizations due to how much they are obsessed with the leads. Anime News Network described him as a stereotypical manga rival while pointing out his actions in order to be the best Duel Monster gamer. Although ANN mocked the multiple duels between Kaiba and Yugi, ANN praised the balance between their cards as done by Kazuki Takahashi. Manga News described him as too cold-hearted a character in the manga's initial chapter. However, the writer noted that he changes in the narrative after being defeated by Yugi and briefly sent into a coma. Chris Homer from The Fandom Post praised Kaiba's actions in the final arc as he joins Yami Yugi in his fight against Bakura and Zorc in Ancient Egypt while dealing with the life of his predecessor, \"Priest Seto\".\n\nThe duels between Kaiba's and Yugi's in Pyramid of Light were made fun of by DVD Talk for sounding as obvious strategy of producing more trading cards to be bought by the audience. While reviewing Dark Side of Dimensions, IGN praised Yugi's growth alongside his friends' as they interact, making them more mature than in the manga and anime. IGN, however, wrote that although Yugi appears to be the movie's main character, he is overshadowed by Kaiba. Anime News Network labelled him as \"still everyone's favorite egoistic lunatic\" as there was no progress in regards to his lack of character arc. The Fandom Post criticized the obsessive relationship between Kaiba and the Pharaoh, which came across as romantic in fanfic-like stories. Green's performance as the holographic Pharaoh was praised and the regular Yugi's rivalry with Kaiba received a positive response. Richard Eisenbeis from Kotaku reviewed the movie favorably, finding Kaiba as the most important character in the plot, ridiculizing his personality for his overthetop actions to face the late Yami Yugi as he does not see Yugi Muto as a worthy opponent. Nevertheless, he finds that thanks to Kaiba the movie is able to deliver a more interesting narrative, finding the new characters lacking in appeal. Anime UK News found Kaiba's actions inconsistent but still praised the deliveries of his Japanese voice actor, Kenjiro Tsuda, which he described as \"overdramatic echoing\". Though also commented as the film's lead, Atomix found Kaiba's obsession to face Yami Yugi exaggerated to the point of being judged as unhealthy and lamented the narrative did not focus in other prominent members from the cast. Blu Ray panned Kaiba's characterization for his actions in regards to a rematch with Yami as being repetitive in the franchise due to how many times this scenario was played and how the staff member decided to keep focusing on the card game aspect of the series rather than how older the cast member has become instead.\n\nReferences\n\n Kazuki Takahashi (2002).

"is a professional shogi player and a chess FIDE Master. He is a former holder of the Ryūō, Meijin, Ōi, Ōza, Kiō, Ōshō and Kisei major titles. He was the first person to simultaneously hold seven major professional shogi titles at the same time and is the only person to qualify as a lifetime title holder for seven major titles. In January 2018, Habu became the first professional shogi player to be awarded Japan's People's Honour Award. In June 2023, he was elected to the board of directors of the Japan Shogi Association (JSA), and chosen by the board to be the JSA president.\n\nEarly life, amateur shogi and apprenticeship \nYoshiharu Habu was born in Tokorozawa, Saitama in 1970 and moved to Hachioji, Tokyo before entering kindergarten. Habu first encountered shogi in his first year of elementary school, when his classmates taught him how the shogi pieces move. He was so fascinated by the game that his mother entered him in a shogi tournament held at the Hachioji Shogi Club in the summer of 1978. Although Habu was eliminated during the preliminary rounds with a record of 1 win and 2 losses, his parents took him to the shogi club every weekend from October 1978. Habu improved so rapidly that he was promoted to amateur 5-dan in October 1981 at the age of eleven.\n\nDuring his elementary school days, Habu regularly participated in regional and national shogi tournaments, mainly for children. At these tournaments, Habu played against several children of the same age who also became professional players, including Toshiyuki Moriuchi, Yasumitsu Satō and Manabu Senzaki. Those players born around 1970 are now known as the , not just because they were born in the same year, but also due to their outstanding achievements as players.\n\nIn July 1981, Habu qualified to participate in the as the youngest ever representative ever of the Tokyo Suburban Area, and won four tournaments for elementary school children the following August. In April 1982, Habu won the 7th . He expressed his desire to become a professional player and asked advice from Katsuyasu Nakajima, the owner of the Hachioji Shogi Club and a student of Tatsuya Futakami. Habu applied for admission into the Japan Shogi Association's apprentice school as Futakami's student and was accepted as a member in 1982.\n\nShogi professional \nHabu became a 4-dan professional in 1985 at the age of 14. He was the third junior high school kid professional in shogi history following Hifumi Kato and Koji Tanigawa. In 1989, at the age of 19, Habu 6-dan won the Ryūō championship, defeating Akira Shima who led a 4-person shogi study group \"Shimaken\" in which Habu himself took part. This was the first time Habu won one of the seven major titles making him, at the time, the youngest titleholder ever. Although he lost the Ryūō title to Tanigawa the following year, Habu won the Kiō championship four months later in 1991. Since then he has held at least one of the seven major titles every year since then, and according to custom of the titleholder system he has, therefore, never been referred to by his dan ranking since winning that first championship in 1989.\n\nAccumulating three wins in major championships (Ryūō in 1989, Kiō in 1991 and 1992), Habu actually did qualify for promotion to 9-dan in March 1992, but the existing promotion rules required him to be promoted to 8-dan first and then to wait one year before his next promotion. He was officially promoted to 9-dan on April 1, 1994.\n\nIn 1992 Habu won the Ōza championship defeating Bungo Fukusaki to hold two titles (Kiō and Ōza) simultaneously. He went on to hold the Ōza title for 19 terms in a row.\nIn 1996 (February 14 to July 30), Habu became the first professional to ever hold seven major titles (Meijin, Ryūō, Kisei, Ōi, Ōza, Kiō, and Ōshō) at the same time.\n\nIn July 2012, Habu won his 81st shogi title overall when he won in the Kisei title, becoming 1st on the all-time title-winners list, and surpassing the 80 of Yasuharu Ōyama.\n\nIn June 2014, Habu defeated the defending Meijin Toshiyuki Moriuchi 4 games to none to become the 72nd Meijin. Habu lost his Meijin title to Moriuchi in 2011 (69th Meijin match) and was unable to defeat Moriuchi and regain the title in both 2012 (70th Meijin match) and 2013 (71st Meijin match). By defeating Moriuchi, Habu not only moved into a tie with both Moriuchi and Yoshio Kimura for third place on the all time Meijin winner's list, he also became the first person the recapture the title for the third time.\n\nIn November 2014, Habu won his 1300 official game, becoming the fourth player to do so, the youngest player to do so (44 years and 1 month) and the fastest player to do since turning professional (28 years and 11 months). Habu's win came in his 1801 game as a professional and his winning percentage of 72.3 percent at the time is the all-time highest of any professional player to reach 1300 wins to date.\n\nIn December 2017, Habu defeated defending champion Akira Watanabe to win the 30th Ryūō title. It was Habu's seventh Ryūō title overall which qualified him for the title of Lifetime Ryūō. It also made Habu the first shogi professional to qualify for lifetime titles in seven major titles.\n\nOn January 5, 2018, Habu became the first shogi professional to be awarded Japan's People's Honor Award. In November 2018, it was announced that he was also awarded the Medal with Purple Ribbon.\n\nOn November 21, 2018, Habu became the seventh shogi professional to play 2000 official games. At age 48 years and 1 month, Habu is the youngest to achieve the feat. He also accomplished it in 32 years and 11 months since obtaining professional status, thus becoming the fastest to do so. Furthermore, his overall winning percentage of .709 is also the highest among those who have previously reached the milestone.\n\nOn December 21, 2018, Habu lost the 31st Ryūō title to challenger Akihito Hirose 4 games to 3. The loss of the Ryūō title marked the first time in 27 years that Habu was a not one of professional shogi's major titleholders. A few days after losing the Ryūō title, the Japan Shogi Association announced that Habu had expressed his desire to be officially referred to as \"Habu 9-dan\" () instead of as \"Ex-Ryūō Habu\" (), the way Ex-Ryūō champions can choose to be referred to as throughout the year following their loss of the title.\n\nHabu defeated Masataka Gōda on March 17, 2019, to win the 68th NHK Cup tournament. It was the eleventh time Habu won the tournament, and also the 45th non-major title championship of his career, which broke the previous record of forty-four championships he shared with Ōyama.\n\nOn June 4, 2019, Habu defeated Takuya Nagase to become the shogi professional with the most victories of all time with 1,434 wins. Habu tied Ōyama's record of 1433 career wins a little over a week earlier on May 23, but then lost his next game and his first chance to break the tie on May 30. Habu's 1,434 win came in his 2,027 game as a shogi professional and gave him an overall winning percentage of 0.708.\n\nIn 2022, Habu was demoted to B1 class after 29 consecutive terms ranked A class or higher. On June 16, 2022, in the first round of the 81st Meijin B1 ranking league, Habu defeated Takayuki Yamasaki to become the first shogi professional with 1,500 wins, extending his record for most wins by a shogi professional and giving him an overall winning percentage of 0.696. For this achievement, Habu was awarded the newly-created .\n\nHabu won all six of his games in the 72nd Ōshō Challenger League (SeptemberNovember 2022) to earn the right to challenger Sōta Fujii for the later's Osho title in the 72nd Ōshō title match (JanuaryMarch 2023). It was the first meeting between the two in a major title match. The match was tied at two wins apiece after four games, but Fujii won the next two games to win the match 4 games to 2.\n\nPlaying style \nHabu is an outstanding player of Static Rook strategies in both attack and defense, whether in early fight or slow game circumstances, but has also used Ranging Rook openings on occasion. Shogi professional Kiyokazu Katsumata has described Habu's as \"a man who plays by applying the strong points of successive great masters as the circumstances demand, a man who combines all of the virtues of all the great masters\".\n\nHabu's favorite piece is the silver, which he finds vital for both attack and defense. His winning percentage when dropping golds and silvers on the squares 23 and 83 (or at 87 and 27 when playing White) is said to be high even though winning after such drops is generally considered to be quite difficult. For this reason, these squares are referred to by some in the shogi world as \"Habu's zone\".\n\nHe is well known for playing superb moves in disadvantageous positions in the endgame, with peculiar brinkmate sequences that other players seem unable to come up with, a characteristic that many young players called \"Habu's magic\", a label under which he has published a series of books.\n\nHis long time rival Toshiyuki Moriuchi said of him: \"His greatness lies in that as those around him get stronger, he also gets stronger. He is completely obsessed with not letting there be any big difference in playing strength between himself and other shogi professionals.\"\n\nPromotion history \nThe promotion history of Habu is as follows:\n 6-kyu: December 2, 1982\n 5-kyu: February 2, 1983 (6 wins, 3 losses)\n 4-kyu: March 28, 1983 (6 wins, no losses)\n 3-kyu: May 11, 1983 (6 wins, no losses)\n 2-kyu: July 7, 1983 (6 wins, no losses)\n 1-kyu: August 24, 1983 (6 wins, no losses)\n 1-dan: January 11, 1984 (12 wins, 4 losses)\n 2-dan: September 10, 1984 (14 wins, 5 losses)\n 3-dan: April 25, 1985 (12 wins, 4 losses)\n 4-dan: December 12, 1985 (13 wins, 4 losses)\n 5-dan: April 1, 1988 (for being promoted to Class C1 of Meijin ranking leagues)\n 6-dan: October 1, 1989 (for being the Ryu-oh challenger)\n 7-dan: October 1, 1990 (for being the Ryu-oh title holder, but needed to wait one year after 6-dan promotion)\n 8-dan: April 1, 1993 (for being promoted to Class A of the Meijin ranking leagues)\n 9-dan: April 1, 1994 (Qualified for rank in 1993 after holding a major title for three periods (years), but needed to wait one year after of 8-dan promotion before promoted to 9-dan)\n\nMajor titles and other championships\n\nMajor titles\nThere are eight major titles in shogi.

"Eskew Reeder, Jr. (November 20, 1935 or 1938 – October 23, 1986), usually known by the stage name Esquerita (), and occasionally as S.Q. Reeder or The Magnificent Malochi, was an American R&B singer, songwriter and pianist, known for his frenetic performances. He has been credited with influencing rock and roll pioneer Little Richard.\n\nEarly life\nA native of Greenville, South Carolina, he was the son of Elizabeth and Eskew Reeder, and attended Sterling High School in Greenville from 1947 to 1950. Though most reliable sources give his birth name as Eskew Reeder, Jr., some give the name Stephen Quincy Reeder. Although most sources give the year of his birth as 1935, other reliable sources, and his social security records, state 1938.\n\nCareer\n\n1950s–1960s\nReeder was a self-taught piano player whose roots were in gospel music. His music career started as a teenager, when he dropped out of high school and joined the gospel group Heavenly Echoes based in New York City. Little is known about Reeder's early career as a secular rock and roll piano player. As Esquerita, he often wore heavy makeup, sunglasses, and two wigs, piling his pompadour high on his head.\n\nReeder's first solo studio recordings came about when Paul Peek got him to record some demos at a Greenville radio station (WESC) around 1958. At that time, Peek was a member of the rockabilly group The Blue Caps, led by manic performer Gene Vincent. Peek even co-wrote \"The Rock-Around\" with Reeder, and Reeder played piano on the 1958 recording that launched the NRC (National Recording Corporation) label. From these contacts and Paul Peek's influence with Capitol Records came a record contract for Reeder; Cub Koda described the results as \"some of the most untamed and unabashed sides ever issued by a major label.\" At this point, Eskew Reeder, Jr. adopted the stage name Esquerita.\n\nThe ensuing years found Reeder cutting several singles with various backing musicians in studios in Nashville, Dallas, New Orleans and Detroit. Capitol Records released the LP Esquerita in 1959, his only album in the traditional sense (that is, not a compilation of earlier singles, or re-issues). In 1962, he cut an iconic cover of the 1956 hit “Green Door”. Musicians he recorded with during this era included Jimi Hendrix, Dr. John, Allen Toussaint, and The Jordanaires (Elvis Presley's backup singers). His best-known songs from this time include \"Hey Miss Lucy\", \"Get Back Baby\", \"Gettin' Plenty Lovin, \"Rockin’ the Joint\", and \"Oh Baby\". In 1963, he recorded a session for Berry Gordy's Motown Records but those recordings were never released. In late 1967, Reeder changed his name to Magnificent Malochi and signed with Brunswick Records.\nIn 1968, for that label, he co-wrote Little Richard's adaptation of Bessie Smith's 1936 “I got what it takes“, as “Stingy Jenny (Got what it takes but it breaks my heart to give it away)”.\n\n1970s–1980s\n\nEsquerita started the 1970s in a positive way, contributing “Dew Drop Inn” and a co-write on “Freedom Blues”, to Little Richard's acclaimed comeback album for Reprise Records, The Rill Thing. Both tunes did well as Richard's first top 40 Soul and Top 50 Pop hit since the 1950s, “Freedom Blues”, the A-side. He played keyboards on \"Takin' Care Of Business\" by John Hammond in 1970. Shortly after this, he began to fade from the music scene, but Linda Hopkins released a song written by Reeder called \"Seven Days and Seven Nights\" in 1973. Around this time, Esquerita formed a new group, consisting of Charles Neville (the saxophone player of The Neville Brothers), who then resided in Brooklyn, New York, and drummer Jerry Katz of Queens, New York. They and a few other musicians played a steady gig at Tommy Smalls Night Club on 50th Street and 8th Avenue in New York City. Several months later the group disbanded. He gained notoriety but his own hit was still a dream.\n\nAccording to an interview with Billy Miller and Miriam Linna in the ReSearch book Incredibly Strange Music, Reeder occasionally performed at African-American gay clubs under the name Fabulash during the 1970s. He was eventually tracked down by a writer for Kicks Magazine in 1983 or 1984, who found him performing in second-rate New York City clubs. On October 17, 1984, Esquerita made an appearance with Little Richard, at the Red Parrott disco, in Manhattan, New York, at the Crown Publishing book launch for the biography written by BBC's Charles “Dr. Rock” White and Richard, The Life and Times of Little Richard, covered by NBC TV, who captured an impromptu “Thank You, Jesus”, Richard singing and Esquerita playing. According to an article (\"Who Was Esquerita?\") by music historian Johnny Carter in an international oldies magazine, music maven Bill Lowery (who originated National Recording Corporation and was involved in the Peek sessions for NRC) was approached by Esquerita on the street in New York in 1985 after a conference at Broadcast Music, Inc. Lowery confirmed that Esquerita was down on his luck and was working as a parking lot attendant but was still as flamboyant as ever.\n\nLater years and death\nA few months before his death he was seen washing car windshields for tips at an intersection in Brooklyn. In this same article, Esquerita's father, Eskew Reeder Sr., said that his son had died of complications brought on by AIDS in 1986. Esquerita's father (who was born on March 25, 1907) died in February 1989, a little over two years after his son's death. Eskew Sr.'s last known residence was Simpsonville, South Carolina.\n\nPosthumous releases\nOn March 13, 2012, it was announced that Norton Records was releasing a new single and new album by Esquerita entitled Sinner Man: The Lost Session. These were to include unreleased recordings from a session in New York City in June 1966.\n\nInfluence\n\nReeder has been cited as a key early influence on Little Richard; his look and style were in a very similar vein, although Esquerita was much more flamboyant in the 1950s and his music played more wildly than the contemporary music of Little Richard. Reeder did not record until after Little Richard's initial early 1950s recordings for the RCA and Peacock labels and the later hits on Specialty. However, early Little Richard recordings made at WGST Radio Station in Atlanta do not show the style that was to make him famous. According to Richard, Esquerita did influence him and taught him to play the piano. In an interview segment of the South Bank Show documentary in 1988 when the book The Quasar Of Rock was published, Richard states that he saw Esquerita getting off a bus at the Macon, GA Greyhound bus station, but doesn't say which year, presumably in the early 1950s. There's a hint of a sexual connection between the two, but Richard also states that he was inspired by Reeder, and moreover, Reeder was inspired by Richard to go into show business.\n\nLittle Richard also had not intended to use what came to be his (and Esquerita's) characteristic style during his first New Orleans session for Specialty Records. The session producer, Robert \"Bumps\" Blackwell, had been unhappy with Penniman's initial songs on the session, so, taking a break from recording, he went with Richard to a local cafe, where Richard jumped on a piano and began singing an X-rated version of \"Tutti Frutti\", in true Esquerita fashion. Blackwell felt that a cleaned-up version of the song with the same style of presentation would be just what his boss Art Rupe was looking for, and this song launched Little Richard's career in 1955.\n\nMick Jones (of The Clash) wrote and recorded a song called \"Esquerita\" with his band Big Audio Dynamite, which appeared on the group's Tighten Up Vol. 88 album from 1988. Alternative rock band Lyres recorded their own version of Esquerita's song \"Gettin' Plenty Lovin, which was released on Norton Records in 1992.\n\nEsquerita was an influence on zydeco performer Lynn August, who played drums for Esquerita in the early 1960s. At the age of 12, August was playing drums for Fats Junior, who happened to be opening a show for Esquerita, who let August play a couple of songs with him. After Esquerita spoke with August's mom, he was hired as Esquerita's drummer and played with Esquerita for three years, mostly around New Orleans. August said that Esquerita was playing an organ with pedals and only carried a drummer because he was such a great entertainer. Esquerita also encouraged August to take up piano. Lynn August later became known for his accordion playing. When Esquerita left New Orleans around 1963, August joined Jay Nelson's band from Baton Rouge, Louisiana. August later recorded his own version of Esquerita's song \"Undivided Love\", which appears on his Creole Cruiser album from 1992.\n\nEsquerita was also an influence on Ricky Wilson of the B-52’s, and it inspired part of their sound.\n\nThe Adam Ant and Marco Pirroni song \"Miss Thing\", from their 1985 album Vive Le Rock, was about Esquerita.\n\nDiscography\n\nSolo singles\n\"Oh Baby\"/\"Please Come Home\" (Capitol #4007) (1958)\n\"Rockin' The Joint\"/\"Esquerita And The Voola\" (Capitol #4058) (1958)\n\"Laid Off\"/\"Just Another Lie\" (Capitol #4145) (1959)\n\"Hey Miss Lucy\"/\"Battie Over Hattie\" (Capitol #1075) (promo) (1959)\n\"Green Door\"/\"I Waited Too Long\" (Minit #648) (1962) (as Eskew Reeder)\n\"Never Again\"/\"We Had Love\" (Minit #658) (1962) (as Eskew Reeder)\n\"The Flu\"/\"Undivided Love\" (Instant # 3258) (1963) (as Eskew Reeder Jr.)\n\"I Woke Up This Morning\"/\"I Woke Up This Morning Part Two\" (Instant #3268) (1963) (as Eskew Reeder Jr.)\n\"A Tear\"/\"Johnny Little\" (Everest #2025) (1963) (as Eskew Reeder)\n\"Stubborn Old Me\" (Motown) (1963) (unreleased)\n\"I Want To Know\"/\"Just In Time\" (Okeh #7239) (1966) (as S.

A native of Greenville, South Carolina, he was the son of Elizabeth and Eskew Reeder, and attended Sterling High School in Greenville from 1947 to 1950.

"Derek is a British comedy-drama television series starring, written by and directed by Ricky Gervais. The pilot was produced by Derek Productions Ltd. for Channel 4 and aired on 12 April 2012. Channel 4 describes the show as \"A bittersweet comedy drama about a group of outsiders living on society's margins\".\n\nOn 9 May 2012, Channel 4 announced it had commissioned a full series, which aired from 30 January 2013. On 4 March 2013 (two days before the final episode of the first series was aired), they announced Derek had been recommissioned for a second series, to be shown again on Channel 4 and later on Netflix.\n\nThe first series became available for streaming on Netflix on 12 September 2013. The second series, consisting of six episodes, started airing on 23 April 2014 on Channel 4 and concluded on 28 May 2014. In November 2014, Channel 4 announced that a 60-minute \"final\" special episode of Derek would air in the United Kingdom on 22 December 2014.\n\nGenesis and pilot\nThe pilot episode aired on 12 April 2012 on Channel 4. Filmed in a mockumentary style, the programming is set mostly in a nursing home, and centres on Derek, a helper at the home. The title character made his first appearance in the 2001 Edinburgh Fringe show Rubbernecker.\n\nGervais says the programming was inspired by his relatives who work in care homes: \"Half my family are care workers. My sister works with kids with learning difficulties. My sister-in-law works in a care home for people with Alzheimer's. And four or five of my nieces work in old people's homes. I always write about what I know.\"\n\nPlot\nGervais plays 50-year-old Derek Noakes, a care worker at Broad Hill, a home for the elderly; he has worked there for three years. He likes watching reality television shows and game shows, and is interested in celebrities, YouTube and, above all, talking about animals. The viewer is told he is kind, helpful and selfless, with good intentions. He is vulnerable because of his childlike naivety and distractions from society. He is ridiculed and ostracised, as well as marginalised by mainstream society because of his social awkwardness and lack of inhibition. Derek says it is more important to be kind than to be clever or good-looking. Some commentators have described him as disabled or autistic, although Gervais denies this.\n\nCast\n\nMain characters\n Ricky Gervais as Derek Noakes, an employee of the care home\n Kerry Godliman as Hannah, the care home's manager\n David Earl as Kevin \"Kev\" Twine, a homeless, unemployed alcoholic who hangs around the care home\n Karl Pilkington as Dougie, the home's caretaker (Main Series 1, guest Series 2)\n Colin Hoult as Geoff, the home's caretaker replacing Dougie after he leaves (Series 2 and Special)\n Holli Dempsey as Vicky, initially working in the care home on community service, she goes on to become a volunteer, an employee and eventually cover Hannah's maternity leave as acting manager\n Brett Goldstein as Tom, Hannah's love interest and grandson of Annie, a resident of the carehome\n\nRegular characters\n Ninette Finch as Annie, Tom's grandmother\n Ruth Bratt as Mary\n Margaret Towner as Edna\n Joan Linder as Joan\n Kay Noone as Lizzie\n Vilma Hollingbery as Elsie\n Tim Barlow as Jack\n Arthur Nightingale as Arthur\n Tony Rohr as Anthony, Derek's father\n Sheila Collings as Sheila\n Barry Martin as Joe\n Prem Modgil as Prem\n Blanche Williams as Precious\n Laura Jane Hudson as Jill\n Pamela Lyne as Marge\n\nGuest characters\n Doc Brown as Deon, works at the care home on community service – 1 episode\n Joe Wilkinson as Cliff Twine, Kev's brother – 2 episodes\n Vicky Hall as Tracy, Derek's girlfriend – 2 episodes\n Toby Foster as Les, Tom's work friend and best man at his wedding – 1 episode\n Tony Way as Pete, Jack's grandson – 1 episode\n Robert Vahey as Gerald, Lizzie's husband – 1 episode\n Susannah Wise as Rebecca, Hannah's former classmate and Jill's daughter – 1 episode\n Ashley McGuire as Shelley, Marge's daughter – 1 episode\n Tom Basden as autograph expert – 1 episode\n Tom Hughes as Andy, a love interest for Vicky – 1 episode\n\nEpisodes\n\nPilot (2012)\n\nSeries 1 (2013)\n\nSeries 2 (2014)\n\nSpecial (2014)\n\nReception \nOn Rotten Tomatoes the first series holds a rating of 53% based on 32 critics, with the consensus reading: \"Derek is as irreverent as might be expected from a show starring Ricky Gervais, but this time he brings a surprising amount of depth and empathy to the title character.\" On Metacritic, the first series of the show earned a rating of 64 out of 100, indicating \"generally favorable reviews\".\n\nThe show generated occasional controversy due to a perception by some viewers it mocks intellectual disability. Tanya Gold, writing for The Guardian, dismissed Gervais's claims in Derek, he was satirising prejudice against disabled people, instead saying it \"feels more like lazy cruelty than satire\". Jack Seale criticised the show for relying on elements and characterisations from other programming by Gervais. The Guardians Sam Wollaston found it to be \"not very good\", and says \"the whole mockumentary thing feels tired now\".\n\nTom Sutcliffe of The Independent questioned the wisdom of commissioning the programming: \"To my mind, the pilot of Ricky Gervais's comedy about an assistant in a retirement home already fully explored its awkward – and testing – balance of comedy and emotion.\" About the titular character, he wrote \"Derek's redeeming qualities are the hardest to take – a sense of self-congratulation at the refinement of its sentiments that has a little bit of the bully in it, too.\"\n\nGervais' performance as Derek received mixed reviews. Diane Werts of Newsday reacted positively, saying \"Gervais nailed it\". Curt Wagner of Red Eye says Gervais \"surprises with some tender, quiet acting, and obvious love of the character. Rob Owen of Pittsburgh Post-Gazette says \"although there could be an ick factor to Mr. Gervais playing a character with developmental issues, that turns out not to be the case. Mr. Gervais creates a character, not a caricature.\" On the other hand, The Guardians Sam Wollaston says \"Ricky Gervais is out of his depth playing a character that isn't based on his worst foibles.\" Terry Ramsey of The Telegraph says \"There is Gervais's cringe-making performance in the title role. I'm sorry, but Derek is simply Ricky Gervais in a patterned jumper with a cricked neck. Gervais is not a character actor, and what Derek needs to bring him alive is to be more believable.

Hank Stuever of The Washington Post reacted positively, saying \"Derek is an honest and often charming endeavor.\" Kyle Anderson of Entertainment Weekly also praised the show, but says the absence of Karl Pilkington hurt the series, saying: \"The second series mostly upholds the first's tricky precedent, but the absence of regular Gervais associate Karl Pilkington means the yuks are a bit less hearty.\" Terry Ramsey of The Telegraph wrote, \"We didn't need a second series of Ricky Gervais's comedy drama Derek.\" In a review in The Guardian, Sam Wollaston says \"That's the other big problem with Derek...it's not very smart. Or very funny. Or very good.\" Msn.com says \"Ricky Gervais' Derek remains a mawkish mess. Where to begin? The mockumentary format is moribund. The ethics are muddy. The tone is all over the place in everything but its consistent condescension.\" Matt D of Unrealitytv.co.uk agrees, saying \"The primary reasons for this are the imbalance in tone and Gervais' central performance both of which stop Derek from a truly enjoyable program.\" AV Club says \"Derek has all the creative ambition of [an online video of little piggies and bunnies doing cute things].\" Indie Wire says \"Series two is all over the map.\" Michael Hogan of The Telegraph says Derek is a \"saccharine series\" and \"dreadful\". Serena Davies, from the same publication, says \"the show seems to have been devised by someone of Derek's limited intelligence... [I will not be] wasting any more of my time watching this rather flimsy, curiously pointless program.\" \n\nThe special was given two stars out of five by The Telegraph. The reviewer, Ed Power, criticised the episode for the \"weak performance\" from Gervais and the \"sub-Forrest Gump sympathy milking\". He described it as \"glib\" and \"manipulative\".

"Matt Bishop (born 25 December 1962) is an English journalist, author, novelist and public relations executive.\n\nCareer \nAfter leaving the Cardinal Vaughan Memorial School, Holland Park, in 1981, he failed to qualify as a London bus driver and then worked as a bookmaker, a betting-shop manager, and a minicab driver until the 1990s, when he began to freelance as a writer for Sporting Life and applied to university to study psychology. Dropping out after a year, he began his full-time writing career at Car magazine in 1993, becoming features editor, then in September 1995 moved to Focus magazine as deputy editor then acting editor, before joining F1 Racing (now renamed GP Racing) magazine as editor in December 1996, remaining until September 2007. F1 Racing sold 1.25 million copies a month worldwide during Bishop's tenure.\n\nIn the wake of the 2007 Formula 1 espionage controversy, which resulted in the McLaren Formula 1 team being fined an unprecedented $100 million, Bishop was recruited by McLaren chairman Ron Dennis to become the company's communications director. He left McLaren in July 2017. He wrote his first novel, The Boy Made the Difference (published in 2020), before returning to motorsport public relations work in 2018 as a member of the senior leadership team of W Series, the world’s first single-seater motor racing championship for female drivers only.\n\nOn 10 December 2020 it was announced that Bishop had been recruited by the Aston Martin Formula 1 team to be its chief communications officer, starting in 2021.\n\nBackground and writing career\n\nBishop was born in London to Bernardine Bishop (1939-2013), an English novelist, teacher and psychotherapist, and the American classical concert pianist Stephen Kovacevich. A critically acclaimed author of five novels, one of them, Unexpected Lessons in Love, short-listed for the 2013 Costa Novel Award, Bernardine Bishop died of colon cancer in July 2013.\n\nMatt Bishop’s grandmother was Barbara Lucas (née Wall, 1911-2009), an English journalist, author, novelist and peace campaigner. His great-great aunt was Viola Meynell (1885-1956), an English author, novelist and poet, and his great-great grandmother was Alice Meynell (1847-1922), an English author, poet and suffragist, whose husband was Wilfrid Meynell (1852-1948), an English author and editor.\n\nMatt Bishop has worked as a voluntary fundraiser for the children’s cancer charity CLIC Sargent for many years, having been introduced to the charity in 2007 by ex-Formula 1 team principal Eddie Jordan. All proceeds from sales of The Boy Made the Difference, Bishop’s first novel, will go to CLIC Sargent.\n\nEarly in Bishop's tenure as editor of F1 Racing, the magazine achieved a notable scoop by exposing the 'brake-steer' system on the McLaren MP4/12, an innovation by which drivers could brake the rear wheels independently of the front, altering the car's handling characteristics to improve laptime. It was subsequently banned after protests from Ferrari. Bishop and photographer Darren Heath had observed in photographs that the McLarens' rear brake discs were glowing in the middle of corners, and arranged to surreptitiously photograph the inside of the cockpit via a plan in which Bishop tipped off Heath via phone if either of the cars broke down mid-race.\n\nWhile editor-in-chief of F1 Racing, Bishop also wrote columns for Autosport and Autosport.com, entitled ‘Praise Be!’ And ‘From the Pulpit’.\n\nThe Boy Made the Difference, Bishop’s debut novel, takes as its subject matter the HIV/AIDS crisis of the late 1980s and early 1990s. A fictional tale about a family living in north-west London, it draws on Bishop’s experiences of working as a home support volunteer, or ‘buddy’, for London Lighthouse, at that time the world’s largest HIV/AIDS centre.\n\nPersonal life\nBishop is openly gay, has been a forthright speaker on LGBTQ+ issues for many years, and is a founder ambassador of Racing Pride, a movement developed with Stonewall and launched in June 2019, its aim to promote LGBTQ+ inclusivity in the motorsport industry.

"David Henry Barnett was an American CIA officer. He was convicted of espionage for the Soviet Union in the 1980s. Barnett was the second CIA officer to be convicted after Edwin Moore II, a retired CIA employee arrested by the FBI in 1976 after attempting to sell classified documents to Soviet officials.\n\nCareer \nBarnett was initially a Special Agent of the U.S. Army Counter Intelligence Corps (CIC), serving with the 308th CIC Detachment in Seoul, Korea, in 1958 and January 1959. He served in the S2 - Counter Subversive Section. Barnett was released from the U.S. Army and hired by the CIA in January 1959, after which he stayed in Korea for approximately one year.\n\nFrom the 1960s until 1970, Barnett was employed by the CIA, working in the United States and Asia. Barnett was stationed in Indonesia from 1967 until 1970 after South Korea. He was a teacher and wrestling coach during the 1970s at The Kiski School in Saltsburg, Pennsylvania. After leaving his teaching position at Kiski, Barnett returned to Indonesia in 1973 to establish an import-export business in Asian antiquities. He did not succeed, and in 1975, he accepted an offer to manage P.T. Trifood, a shrimp processing and exporting company. In pursuit of his antiques business, he had amassed debts of over $100,000 and faced imminent financial ruin. \n\nTo rectify his problems, Barnett elected to sell classified information to the Soviets. In 1976, he approached KGB officers in Jakarta, Indonesia, and offered to sell them the names of CIA assets.\n\nEspionage \nOver the next three years in meetings held in the Embassy of the Soviet Union in Vienna, Barnett revealed to the KGB the identities of almost 30 CIA officers. Additionally, he handed over classified information gathered by the CIA on a clandestine operation, code-named HA/BRINK, that had focused on the acquisition of Soviet military hardware sold to Indonesia during the Sukarno era, including an SA-2 guidance system, designs for the Whiskey-class submarine, the Riga-class frigate, the Sverdlov-class cruiser, the P-15 Termit anti-ship missile and the Tu-16 Badger bomber. He compromised CIA operations and informants in Indonesia and South Korea. The Soviets paid him a total of $92,000 for information received between 1976 and 1980.\n\nOn instructions from his KGB handlers, who included Oleg Kalugin, Barnett applied for staff positions on the Senate and House intelligence committees and the President's Intelligence Advisory Board but was unsuccessful. In January 1979, he was rehired by the CIA as a contract agent and, if undetected, could have betrayed further CIA secrets.\n\nLater in 1979, Barnett was identified as a spy following the release of information provided by Colonel Vladimir Mikhaylovich Piguzov, a KGB officer stationed in Jakarta who had been recruited as a double agent by the CIA. Piguzov was in turn betrayed by Aldrich Ames in 1985 and subsequently executed. Barnett was questioned by the Federal Bureau of Investigation and resigned from his CIA job. In October 1980, Barnett pleaded guilty to espionage charges. He was sentenced to 18 years imprisonment and was paroled in 1990.\n\nPersonal life \nDavid Barnett married Sarah Blount after they met in the 1960s in Washington, DC. Blount had moved to DC in 1964 to work for the Office of Economic Opportunity, and Barnett was in between overseas tours. They married after only four weeks of dating. At the time, Blount believed Barnett worked in the Foreign Service, not the CIA.\n\nBarnett and his wife were soon stationed in Indonesia, where he ultimately revealed his actual position with the CIA to Sarah. She claims that his frequent secrecy with his job led to her lack of suspicion when he began working with the Soviets.\n\nBarnett and Sarah had three children: Charles, John Henry, and Dorsey, who were between the ages of 12 and 6 at the time of their father's incarceration.\n\nNotes \n\nLiving people\n1933 births\nAmerican people convicted of spying for the Soviet Union\nCIA agents convicted of crimes\nPeople convicted under the Espionage Act of 1917",

"James Charles Kopp (born August 2, 1954) is an American who was convicted in 2003 for the 1998 sniper-style murder of Barnett Slepian, an American physician from Amherst, New York who performed abortions. Prior to his capture, Kopp was on \nthe FBI's list of Ten Most Wanted Fugitives. On June 7, 1999, he had become the 455th fugitive placed on the list by the FBI. He was affiliated with the militant Roman Catholic anti-abortion group known as The Lambs of Christ.\n\nHe has been referred to as a terrorist by the National Memorial Institute for the Prevention of Terrorism, and was \"well-known in militant anti-abortion circles, where he was nicknamed Atomic Dog\".\n\nEarly life\nJames Charles Kopp was born in Pasadena, California and raised Lutheran, but later converted to Roman Catholicism. Kopp graduated from the University of California, Santa Cruz in 1976, with a bachelor's degree in biology, going on to take a master's degree in embryology from California State University Fullerton. Kopp started providing support to anti-abortion groups after his girlfriend underwent an abortion, and used his technical abilities to create special locks that protesters then used on the doors of abortion clinics.\n\nMurder\nOn October 23, 1998, at approximately 10 p.m., Barnett Slepian was standing in the kitchen of his home in Amherst, New York. Kopp fired a single shot from a rifle from a nearby wooded area, which entered the Slepian home through a rear window. Slepian was a well-known obstetrician/gynecologist who performed abortions at a women's clinic in Buffalo, New York. He also maintained a private medical practice in an office in Amherst, New York. Within hours of the murder, anti-abortion militants posted Slepian's name crossed out on their internet website, which also served as \"a virtual hit list of doctors who carry out abortions\".\n\nFugitive\nThe FBI believed that Kopp received assistance in fleeing the US, although Irish anti-abortion groups denied they assisted him.\n\nKopp fled to Mexico under an assumed name and later to Ireland. He then fled Ireland one step ahead of police on a ferry to Brittany, France on March 12, 2001, with two Irish passports besides his original U.S. document.\n\nArrest and Extradition\nOn March 29, 2001, Kopp was arrested without an incident by French law enforcement in the town of Dinan, Brittany, just after picking up a package containing $300 outside of a post office. The United States requested his extradition. Attorney General John Ashcroft promised that the death penalty would not be sought, handed down or applied, a prerequisite according to the extradition treaty between France and the United States. Ashcroft's promise was made over the objections of New York State Attorney General Eliot Spitzer and Erie County District Attorney Frank Clark, both of whom wanted the death penalty, though such a sentence is not available in the New York State criminal justice system. Spitzer and Clark argued that the charge of murder was a state charge, not a federal charge, and Ashcroft had no jurisdiction in the matter. The instruction chamber of the Rennes Court of Appeals ruled in favor of extradition. Kopp and his attorney, Herve Rouzaud-Le Bouef, appealed this ruling, stating that the \"unsigned embassy letter was 'insufficient' as a guarantee, prompting Ashcroft's unusual direct intervention.\n\nIn May 2002, Kopp waived all possible appeals in France and returned to the U.S. in June 2002.\n\nTrial and conviction\nOn March 11, 2003, Kopp waived his right to a jury trial. Based upon an agreement between the defense and prosecution — Erie County Assistant District Attorney Joseph Maruszak and defense attorney Bruce Barkett — Erie County Judge Michael D'Amico would be required to find Kopp guilty or not guilty based on a single document of facts. In addition, the judge could not consider lesser charges; he had to find Kopp guilty or not guilty of second-degree murder. Kopp had confessed his role in the shooting to police, claiming he only meant to wound Slepian. D'Amico found him guilty and sentenced him to the maximum penalty, 25 years to life imprisonment, on May 9, 2003. D'Amico told Kopp \"It's clear the act is premeditated; there is no doubt about it. You made an attempt to avoid responsibility for the act. What may appear righteous to you is immoral to someone else.\" The Appellate Division, Fourth Department, upheld the conviction on July 7, 2006 (Shawn P. Hennessy, attorney for respondent and Timothy Murphy, attorney for appellant). He is currently serving his sentence at Federal Correctional Institution, Mendota, his BOP ID being 11761-055.\n\nAppeals\nKopp filed an appeal with the United States District Court for the Western District of New York. Judge Richard Arcara was selected to preside. Arcara limited what Kopp could say on the stand and prohibited the defense from showing pictures of aborted fetuses. There are also limitations to witness' accounts. If found guilty in federal court, Kopp faced a mandatory life sentence. Kopp was charged with violating the Clinic Entrances Act and using a weapon in the murder of Slepian. Kopp chose to act as his own attorney. On the second day of the federal trial, and during cross examination, Kopp moved to have the court reporter from his previous state trial read back statements pertaining to abortion. Judge Arcara forbade this, holding that under the federal rules of evidence, Kopp was barred from stating anti-abortion, religious or moral reasoning for his actions, which effectively prevented Kopp from giving any rationale for his actions. \n\nKopp was also charged in the United States District Court for the Western District of New York on a count of violating the Freedom of Access to Clinic Entrances Act. Kopp dismissed his court-assigned attorney, an assistant federal public defender, and chose to represent himself. On June 20, 2007, he was sentenced to life imprisonment plus 10 years for illegal use of a firearm. Additionally, the court ordered his belongings auctioned off in order to pay $2.6 million to Slepian's family. Arcara told Kopp at the end of the trial:\n\nIn his opening statement to the jury, Kopp said that although Slepian's death was \"a full-bore, 100 percent tragedy\" it wasn't murder because it was not malicious or premeditated. He did acknowledge that he had planned the shooting for a year, and that he fired a high-powered rifle with telescopic sights, but that he had only meant to wound the doctor (to keep him from performing abortions). Kopp claimed that murder means \"Shoot them in the head, blow up a car, riddle their body with bullets like they do in the movies. That's how you kill someone.\"\n\nOn April 6, 2009, The 2nd U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals upheld the life sentence holding that all issues raised were without merit.\n\nOther possible crimes\nIt has been speculated that Kopp has committed other crimes besides killing Slepian. The FBI notes that \"the shooting was similar to shootings in the Rochester, New York area, and three Canadian cities during the fall of 1997, in which abortion doctors were shot in their homes\". Kopp has been charged by Canadian authorities in the 1995 shooting of an Ontario, Canada doctor, Hugh Short, one of a string of Remembrance Day Shootings.\nGarson Romalis and Jack Fainman were also shot and wounded by unknown assailants. An unnamed Perinton doctor was shot on October 28, 1997, the bullet narrowly missing their head. The doctor's name has been withheld by Monroe County police.\n\nCo-conspirators\nKopp received help from a sympathetic anti-abortion activist couple, a Vietnam veteran and former stage and film actor Dennis Malvasi and his wife Loretta Marra of Brooklyn, who pleaded guilty to one count each of conspiracy in helping Kopp avoid capture. Marra and Malvasi had communicated extensively with Kopp, telling him also via electronic communications that \"the coast is clear\", referring to his proposed secretive return to US via Canada, and also to his use of their home as a safe house. On August 21, 2003, they were sentenced to time served, and released in October that same year. The two fugitive assisters later relocated to Newark, New Jersey and briefly changed their names to Joyce Maier and Ted Barnes.\n\nFictional portrayals and media\nThe murder of Barnett Slepian inspired an episode of Law and Order: Criminal Intent, \"The Third Horseman\", in season 1, episode 11.\n\nSinger/songwriter Ani DiFranco wrote and performed the song, \"Hello, Birmingham\" about Kopp's shooting of Dr. Slepian. It is the sixth track on her tenth studio album, To The Teeth.\n\nSee also\nAnti-abortion violence in the United States\nArmy of God (USA)\nChristian terrorism\nDomestic terrorism in the United States\nDonald Spitz\nPaul Schenck\n\nReferences\n\nExternal links\n Anti-abortion Extremist James Kopp\n Court TV complete coverage of James Kopp murder trial\n James Kopp: A Chronology of Violence\n Feminist Daily News stories about Kopp\n Feminist Daily News stories about Marra\n Kopp Flops in Bid for Martyrdom\n Archive of Kopp's FBI Most Wanted info\n DOJ statement on Kopp Extradition\n Findlaw profile of Kopp case\n christiangallery.com\n Public Press Releases\n Department of Justice\n Kopp's Federal Court Case\n\n1954 births\n20th-century American criminals\nAmerican assassins\nAmerican criminal snipers\nAmerican people convicted of murder\nAmerican prisoners sentenced to life imprisonment\nAnti-abortion violence in the United States\nCalifornia State University, Fullerton alumni\nCatholics from California\nConverts to Roman Catholicism from Lutheranism\nFugitives\nLiving people\nPeople convicted of murder by New York (state)\nPeople convicted of murder by the United States federal government\nPrisoners sentenced to life imprisonment by New York (state)\nPrisoners sentenced to life imprisonment by the United States federal government\nPeople from Pasadena, California\nPerpetrators of religiously motivated violence in the United States\nUniversity of California, Santa Cruz alumni",

"Negue Djogo (born February 2, 1932) was a Chadian officer and politician.\n\nA French-trained Sara Catholic officer, his first prominent assignment came in 1966 when, still a lieutenant, he was made by President François Tombalbaye prefect of the key Bourkou-Ennedi-Tibesti (BET) region, which France, Chad's former colonial power, had evacuated only in 1964, four years after the independence of the country. He was among those accused of misrule by the French Administrative Reform Mission (MRA) in 1969, for his contempt of Muslim traditions and especially of the dia, the blood wealth.\n\nAll the same, under Tombalbaye Djogo made a fast career and became general and Chief of Staff of the Chadian Armed Forces (FAT), when he was arrested by the President on March 23, 1975, in what was yet another of many purges in the army. He did not remain long in jail: on April 13 a military coup removed Tombalbaye. Immediately freed from jail, the coupists offered him the presidency of the new military junta, but when he declined they asked Félix Malloum, who on April 15 assumed the position of new head of state of the country. Djogo took the office of minister of finance.\n\nMalloum's military government crumbled in 1979 when the Prime Minister Hissène Habré, a former Muslim warlord, broke with the President on February 12 and attacked the capital N'Djamena with his militia, the Armed Forces of the North (FAN). The army's Head of staff, general Nguemourou, reacted weakly and finally resigned the command to Djogo on February 14. His authority was early contested by the colonel Wadel Abdelkader Kamougué, the head of the gendarmerie, the military police, which was the sole unit of the army that did not disintegrate in the battle; and when the FAT, defeated, left the capital for Southern Chad on April 15, Kamougué was in command while Djogo remained at N'Djamena.\n\nThe rift was becoming evident already in the second peace conference held at Kano in Nigeria between April 3 and April 11, when all factions were invited to form a Transitional Government of National Unity (GUNT). Djogo was able to eclipse here Kamougué, and as a result Djogo was nominated Vice President of the new government sworn in on April 29, as representative of the FAT. President became Lol Mohamed Shawa, a protégé of Nigeria, Habré Defense Minister and Goukouni Oueddei Interior Minister. Djogo was also proclaimed commander-in-chief of the new armed forces that were to unite the old FAT and the militias.\n\nThe government did not live long, principally for the exclusion from the GUNT of important Libya-supported militias, which promptly formed a counter-government, the Democratic Revolutionary Council (CDR), led by Ahmat Acyl. Also, many countries refused to recognize the new government: Djogo experimented this personally at the 6th Franco-African Summit held at Kigali on May 21 and May 22. Djogo had been entrusted with leading the Chadian delegation at the summit, when doubt on the GUNT's representativity voiced by a number of delegates brought to the abrupt departure of the Chadians.\n\nBye mid-summer it was clear that the end of Shawa's government was at hand. Nigeria opened new rounds of negotiation for the formation of a more comprehensive government; after a first failure, the second conference held at Lagos was more successful, and all factions, including the CDR, signed the Lagos Accord on August 21. As a result, o new GUNT was formed on September 3, with Goukouni as new president and Kamougué as vice president.\n\nDjogo tried to politically reemerge by attacking Kamougué. The occasion came on March 1, 1980, when he promoted in N'Djamena a manifesto for the formation a unitarian decentralized state, but he obtained little support for it, mainly some officers that had not followed Kamougué in 1979 and also some functionaries tied to the former Tombalbaye Regime.\n\nWhen Habré, who had broken with the GUNT in 1980, conquered N'Djamena in 1982 and made himself new president, the other northern factions of the GUNT refused to surrender and reunited their forces in the BET Prefecture. While Goukouni remained its president, its military forces were united under the command of Djogo, who proved himself an able general defeating Habré's forces at Gouro and Ounianga in 1982. He was also the nominal commander of the GUNT's new army, the National Liberation Army (Armée de Libération National or ALN), which with massive Libyan man support inflicted a crushing blow to Habré's forces between June and August 1983.\n\nIn 1984 Djogo broke with the GUNT, unhappy of its internal disputes. He formed in Paris in 1985 the Democratic Front of Chad (Front Démocratique du Tchad or FDT), a coalition of groups that opposed both Goukouni and Habré. But Habré was able to win over the party in peace talks held at Libreville in Gabon under the patronage of the President Omar Bongo, which included also Alphonse Kotiga's Codos and Acheikh ibn Oumar's CAC-CDR. Djogo signed for his party on December 23, 1985. In exchange Djogo became Minister of Justice, but Habré remains in full control with his National Union for Independence and Revolution (UNIR) sole legal party. And even if Djogo insisted in a press conference held on March 4, 1986, that the FDT's goal was to restore democratic liberties, he remained unsurprisingly vague.\n\nIn mid-1988 he was shifted to the Ministry of transportation and civil aviation, and finally entered in 1989 in the Central Committee of the UNIR with other former opposition leaders. His downfall came in 1990 with the ruin of Habré, who was overthrown by Idriss Déby; from then he lost any political importance.\n\nReferences\n\nThe military and militarism in Africa, Eboe Hutchful, Abdoulaye Bathily, 1998\n\n1932 births\nLiving people\nVice presidents of Chad\nFinance ministers of Chad\nChadian military personnel\nPeople of the Chadian–Libyan War\nDemocratic Front of Chad politicians\nSara people\nPlace of birth missing (living people)",

"Veronica () is a 2017 Spanish supernatural horror film directed by Paco Plaza which stars Sandra Escacena alongside Claudia Placer, Bruna González, Iván Chavero and Ana Torrent.\n\nIt is loosely based on true events from the 1991 Vallecas case where Estefanía Gutiérrez Lázaro died mysteriously after she used a ouija board.\n\nPlot\nThe film opens in 1991 in medias res, with emergency services responding to a call from a young girl. She sounds panicked and screams about something coming to get her brother before the call cuts off.\n\nThe film goes back in time three days. Verónica is a 15-year-old girl living with her mother and three young siblings in an apartment in the working-class district of Vallecas, Madrid. Their father recently died and their mother works long hours at a bar to support the family, leaving Verónica in charge of her younger siblings: twins Lucia and Irene, and Antoñito. On the day of the solar eclipse, her teacher explains how some ancient cultures used eclipses to stage human sacrifices and summon dark spirits.\n\nVerónica and her friends Rosa and Diana go into the basement to conduct a séance using a Ouija board. Verónica wants to reach out to her late father, and Diana her late boyfriend, who died in a motorcycle accident. Rosa and Diana pull their hands back when the glass cup becomes too hot. Verónica's hand remains on it, and at the moment of the eclipse, the cup shatters, cutting her finger and dripping blood onto the board. Verónica becomes unresponsive, whispering something repeatedly, then lets out a demonic scream. She wakes in the school nurse's office, who tells her she probably passed out from iron deficiency.\n\nVerónica begins experiencing paranormal occurrences and her friends avoid her. Looking for answers, she goes back to the school basement and finds the school's elderly blind nun whom the students call Hermana Muerte ('Sister Death'). The nun explains that the séance attached a dark spirit to her and tries to compel the spirit to leave, but nothing happens.\n\nVerónica draws protective Viking symbols for the kids, only for the demon to destroy them. She tries to help Lucia when the spirit chokes her, but Lucia says it was Verónica who was choking her. Verónica wakes up to find that she's on her first period. As she scrubs her mattress, she finds burn marks on the underside. She also finds on each of the kids' mattresses a large burn mark in the shape of a human body. Sister Death tells Verónica that she used to see dark spirits when she was younger, and intentionally blinded herself in an unsuccessful attempt to stop the visions. Verónica can force the spirits to leave by doing right what she did wrong as it is important to say goodbye to the spirit at the end of a séance. Verónica asks Rosa and Diana to hold another séance, but they refuse. Rosa reveals that at the séance, Verónica whispered that she herself would die in five days.\n\nDesperate, Verónica decides to hold the séance with her siblings. She has Antoñito draw the protective symbols on the walls, but he flips to the wrong page and instead draws symbols of invocation. When she tells the spirit to say goodbye, it refuses. She calls the police and escapes with her siblings. However, she sees that she is not actually holding Antoñito but had imagined it. Her brother is actually hiding in a closet. She finds him but he won't go with her. Verónica looks at herself in the mirror and sees the demon, realizing she has been possessed by the demon the entire time, and had been harming her siblings under its control. She attempts to end the possession by slitting her own throat but is prevented by the demon. The police enter to find her being attacked by an invisible force and passing out. The medics carry her and Antoñito out while a shaken detective observes the scene. As the detective watches a photograph of Verónica suddenly catch fire, he is informed that she has died.\n\nFive years later in 1996, he reports of unexplained paranormal activity having occurred in Madrid. It is explained that the movie is based on the true events of the first police report in Spain where a police officer certifies having witnessed paranormal activity.\n\nCast\n\nInspiration\nThe film was inspired when Estefanía Gutiérrez Lázaro (1973–1991) reportedly suffered hallucinations and seizures after performing the séance at a school in Madrid to try to contact her friend's deceased boyfriend who had died six months earlier. Her exact cause of death is a mystery. Her house allegedly became haunted after her death according to the British magazine NME. The American magazine Newsweek, referenced by NME, is more cautious and while acknowledging that the case is real, likens the event to the similar pop-culture phenomenon and urban legend The Amityville Horror. In the same magazine, director Paco Plaza says that he didn't feel bound to portray the real events, clarifying \"...the whole story of Veronica and the sisters and Antoñito, this little Marlon Brando with glasses, it’s all a vision.\"\n\nProduction \nThe screenplay was penned by Paco Plaza alongside Fernando Navarro. The film was produced by Apache Films alongside El Expediente La Película AIE, with the participation of RTVE and support from ICAA. The score was composed by Eugenio Mira, credited under the pseudonym Chucky Namanera.\n\nRelease\nVerónica originally released on 25 August 2017 in Spain. In addition, the film was released in eight other countries between the months of December 2017 up until February 2018.\n\nThe film was selected for the lineup of the 2017 Toronto International Film Festival's Contemporary World Cinema section.\n\nReception\n\nBox office \nIn Spain the film grossed $4,212,203, and $1,910,886 in other territories, for a worldwide total of $6,123,089.\n\nCritical response \nThe review aggregator Rotten Tomatoes reported an 88% approval rating from 33 critic reviews. The website's critical consensus reads, \"A scarily effective horror outing, Veronica proves it doesn't take fancy or exotic ingredients to craft skin-crawling genre thrills.\"\n\nJonathan Holland from The Hollywood Reporter gives a negative review of the film and wrote \"The real horror in Veronica is not in the CGI visuals, or in Pablo Rosso's frantic cinematography, or in the aural bombardment of sound effects and music; it’s in the relationship between the children\". Overall though he sums up his film review with \"Thick on chills, thin on psychology.\"\n\nShortly after the release of Verónica on Netflix Jordan Crucchoila of Vulture countered other reviewers who believe that Verónica is the scariest movie on Netflix \"In our estimation, Veronica is not that scary. It’s a worthy effort, but as far as witch-board movies go, you’ll get more out of Ouija 2: Origin of Evil.\", but overall still believes that the film has \"some great set-piece scares, and the movie’s most disturbing moment is pretty damn good.\" Ed Potton of The Times does not believe that the film is good and gave the film a 2 out of 5, and wrote \"A considerable buzz online suggested that this Spanish horror might arrest the recent run of iffy Netflix movies. Sadly, it doesn't.\" Dennis Harvey of Variety, wrote that the film's ideas \"aren’t ultimately original enough or its scares potent enough to suggest Plaza wouldn’t benefit from trying his directorial hand at someone else’s screenplay.\" Paul Tassi from Forbes magazine wrote \"If I was scoring the movie myself I’d probably give it a 6 out of 10, “fresh,” but not exactly stunning.\"\n\nAccolades \n\n|-\n| align = \"center\" rowspan=\"21\" |2018\n| rowspan=\"4\" | 73rd CEC Medals\n|Best Editing\n|Martí Roca\n|\n| rowspan=\"4\" style=\"text-align:center;\" |\n|-\n|Best New Actress\n|Sandra Escacena\n|\n|-\n|Best Original Screenplay\n|Paco Plaza, Fernando Navarro\n| \n|-\n|Best Score\n|Eugenio Mira\n| \n|-\n| rowspan=\"6\" |5th Feroz Awards\n|Best Director\n|Paco Plaza\n|\n| rowspan=\"6\" style=\"text-align:center;\" |\n|-\n|colspan = \"2\" | Best Drama Film\n|\n|-\n|Best Original Score\n|Eugenio Mira\n|\n|-\n|Best Trailer\n|Rafa Martínez\n|\n|-\n|Best Actress in a Leading Role\n|Sandra Escacena\n|\n|-\n|Best Screenplay\n|Paco Plaza, Fernando Navarro\n|\n|-\n| rowspan=\"7\" |32nd Goya Awards\n|Best Film\n|Expediente La Película A.I.E., Apaches Entertainment\n|\n| rowspan=\"7\" style=\"text-align:center;\" |\n|-\n|Best Director\n|Paco Plaza\n|\n|-\n|Best Original Screenplay\n|Paco Plaza, Fernando Navarro\n|\n|-\n|Best Original Score\n|Eugenio Mira\n|\n|-\n|Best New Actress\n|Sandra Escacena\n|\n|-\n|Best Sound\n|Aitor Berenguer, Gabriel Gutiérrez, Nicolas de Poulpiquet\n|\n|-\n|Best Special Effects\n|Raúl Romanillos, David Heras\n|\n|-\n|27th Actors and Actresses Union Awards\n|Best New Actress\n|Sandra Escacena\n|\n| style=\"text-align:center;\" | \n|-\n|5th Platino Awards\n|Best Sound\n|Aitor Berenguer, Gabriel Gutiérrez, Nicolas de Poulpiquet\n|\n| style=\"text-align:center;\" |\n|-\n| rowspan=\"2\" |Turia Awards\n|Special Award\n|Paco Plaza\n|\n| rowspan=\"2\" style=\"text-align:center;\" |\n|-\n|Best New Actress\n|Sandra Escacena\n|\n|-\n| rowspan=\"2\" |2019\n|CinEuphoria Awards\n|Best Sound/Sound Effects - International Competition\n|\n|\n| style=\"text-align:center;\" |\n|-\n|Fangoria Chainsaw Awards\n|Best Streaming Premiere Film\n|Paco Plaza\n|\n| style=\"text-align:center;\" |\n|}\n\nPrequel \nA prequel film titled Sister Death (), directed by Paco Plaza and starring Aria Bedmar, was released on Netflix in October 2023.\n\nSee also\n List of Spanish films of 2017\n List of films featuring eclipses\n\nReferences\n\nExternal links\n \n The true story behind 'Veronica', the scariest movie of all time!\n\n2017 films\n2017 horror films\n2010s Spanish-language films\nSpanish supernatural horror films\nDemons in film\nFilms set in 1991\nFilms set in 1996\nFilms set in Madrid\nFilms shot in Madrid\nFilms directed by Paco Plaza\nHorror films based on actual events\nSpanish films based on actual events\nApache Films films\n2010s Spanish films",

"This article lists the characters featured in the American ABC comedy-drama series Ugly Betty.\n\nMain characters\n\nBetty Suarez\n\nBetty Suarez, played by America Ferrera, is the main protagonist. Aims to run her own magazine in the future. She initially did not know the true circumstances that led to her hiring (annoyed by Daniel's womanizing, Bradford Meade hired Betty to be his son's assistant knowing that Daniel would find her unattractive and get him to take his job seriously), but stayed on as Daniel's assistant as they forged an unlikely friendship. Soon Betty became one of Daniel's most trusted friends, constantly keeping him out of trouble, jail, and even once saving his life when his girlfriend, Reneé, proved to be a sociopath of sorts. She was also most supportive of him whenever he was battling against Wilhelmina, his father Bradford, his trans sister Alexis, or untrue accusations. Betty was at first discriminated against by most of her colleagues due to her lack of fashion sense, but as she proved to be kind, they ceased to mock her as much. She became best friends with Christina McKinney, the first person who was nice to her at Mode. She also became friends with Marc and Amanda, and though they were occasionally mean to her and enjoyed teasing her about her clothes and ideas, they both bonded with Betty on numerous occasions such as when Amanda ran out of cash and moved in with Betty. She went to London for Hilda's bachelorette party with Amanda. She also met Christina Mckinney who is her best friend there as she is a famous designer. She wrote a column of London Fashion Week 2010 for Mr. Dunne a publisher. In the second to last episode of Season 4 she met Mr. Dunne again, who offered her a job as co-owner of a London magazine and she accepted the offer. In the last episode she met Daniel in London and asked him playfully if he wants a job to be her new assistant.\n\nDaniel Meade\n\nDaniel Meade, played by Eric Mabius, was named Editor-in-Chief of Mode by his father after the death of former editor-in-chief Fey Sommers; his appointment made him a target of Wilhelmina's schemes to take over the job that she felt she rightfully deserved. His womanizing and lackadaisical attitude towards his job led Bradford to hire Betty as Daniel's assistant; despite his initial reluctance and attempts to get Betty to quit, he and Betty forged a working partnership and friendship. His womanizing and later prescription drug addiction stems from his unhappy, dysfunctional family life. Sister and boss, Alexis, later convinces him to take a 'leave of absence', effectively ousting him from Mode. Retakes his job back after sales plummet but in an arrangement by Claire now shares co-EIC duties with Wilhelmina Slater. He then quit Mode and wanted to find what he is really passionate for. At the season 4 finale he went to London and met and asked Betty out to dinner.\n\nWilhelmina Slater\n\nWilhelmina Vivian Slater (née Wanda Slater), played by Vanessa Williams, is the series' main antagonist. A respected figure in the fashion industry, she was passed over in favor of Daniel Meade for the Editor-in-Chief job at Mode after the death of Fey Sommers; she initially plotted to gain control on Mode by undermining Daniel's authority, often taking advantage of his inexperience. Wilhelmina was also in league with Alexis Meade, passing along information about the Meades while Alexis recovered from gender reassignment surgery and plotted to frame Bradford Meade for the murder of Fey Sommers. In exchange for Wilhelmina's loyalty, Alexis immediately appointed her as Mode's Editor-in-Chief, but Daniel's objections based on the company charter blocked the appointment. Alexis and Wilhelmina's partnership later crumbled as Alexis reconciled with her brother; Wilhelmina then set her sights on seducing Bradford, manipulated him into divorcing Claire (the true owner of Mode) with the hope of marrying into the Meade family as a way to gain control of Mode. However, Bradford refused to relinquish Mode; Wilhelmina then plotted to sabotage Mode and start up her own magazine, Slater, in its wake once she married Bradford, but his heart attack at the altar and subsequent death squashed her claims to the Meade empire. Following this, she was immediately fired from Mode - but before leaving she crashed the Mode computers, causing them to lose an important upcoming issue. Taking advantage of the crisis, she convinced most of the Mode staff to work for Slater. The plans for Slater eventually fell apart as Wilhelmina was unable to secure the necessary funds. She then resorted to using Bradford's sperm (which Wilhelmina obtained immediately after his death by bribing a debt-ridden doctor) to produce a child in hope of claiming a substantial stake in the Meade empire; she intended to carry the child herself, but complications of a \"hostile womb\" led her to enlist Christina as a surrogate. Alexis promotes her to editor in chief, after she succeeds in coming back to Mode. However, she would later be demoted again after sales plummet, only to be given co-EIC duties by Claire after Claire buys out Alexis' stake in Meade publications. She became the sole editor-in-chief of Mode in the last episode of season 4 after Daniel quit the magazine.\n\nIgnacio Suarez\n\nIgnacio Suarez, played by Tony Plana, is Betty's father. He spent 30 years in the United States as an illegal immigrant. He fled Mexico with his wife Rosa after presumably murdering Ramiro Vasquez, Rosa's first husband, in self-defense. He was sent back to Mexico after being denied a Visa, and became a target of Ramiro Vasquez's revenge. He made it back to the U.S. safely and became a citizen, thanks to Betty's secret deal with Wilhelmina.\n\nHilda Suarez\n\nHilda Suarez Talercio, played by Ana Ortiz, is Betty's older sister. Initially protective and somewhat jealous of Betty as she pursued her career, but later became supportive. She was a sales representative for Herbalux Cosmetics until the company went under; after this she pursued a career in cosmetology and opened her own beauty salon. Single mother to Justin ever since her ex-boyfriend Santos abandoned them, but Santos later returned when she enlisted his help to cover the expenses for Ignacio's immigration dilemma; later reconciled with Santos and became engaged, but their happy ending was cut short by Santos's death. Later, she marries Bobby Talercio, her high school boyfriend, at the end of the last season.\n\nAmanda Tanen\n\nAmanda Tanen Sommers, played by Becki Newton, is initially hostile to Betty because she'd taken the job that Amanda was gunning for; along with Marc, she'd find ways to make Betty's job difficult - misplacing memos, \"forgetting\" to pass along messages, and being nasty in general. Amanda and Betty would later become 'frenemies' - joining forces when needed (such as when they were both in danger of losing their jobs) and confided in Betty about her unhappiness at being one of Daniel's many girlfriends. Despite knowing his reputation, she'd fallen in love with Daniel and hoped she'd be the one to change his ways. When it was clear that Daniel wasn't interested in getting to know Amanda beyond the bedroom, she broke off their relationship. Amanda later admitted she had gotten her job at Mode because her father dealt with the finances of the editor, Fey Sommers; she would later find out that Fey was actually her birth mother, who'd given Amanda up because Fey felt she couldn't devote her efforts to Mode and to being a mother at the same time. With this discovery, Amanda began a quest to find her biological father, as well as capitalize on her connection to the fashion legend to attain fame and respect. At the second last episode of the last season she quit Mode to be a stylist. She discovered that Spencer Cannon was her biological father.\n\nMarc St. James\n\nMarc St. James (né Marcus Weiner), played by Michael Urie, is the series' secondary antagonist. He was devoted to Wilhelmina, often deeply involved in her schemes to take over Mode and Meade Publications. Like Amanda, he was initially hostile to Betty but later became 'frenemies' when they were in danger of losing their jobs, as well as pretending to be a couple when Marc's overbearing mother visited. Betty had pushed a reluctant Marc to end the ruse and tell his mother that he was gay; he finally came out to his mother who seemingly disowned him because of it. He had an ex-boyfriend Cliff but broke up with him when he told him that he slept with another guy. After his break-up with Cliff, he had another boyfriend, Troy. He was promoted as Junior Fashion Editor at Mode after 5 years of being Wilhelmina's assistant. In the end of the last season Wilhelmina promoted him as the new creative director of Mode.\n\nJustin Suarez\n\nJustin Suarez, played by Mark Indelicato, is Betty's nephew. His love of fashion and musical theater and flamboyant attitude has brought up questions over his sexual orientation, but his family is supportive of his interests. He had clashed with his father Santos over not being a \"normal boy\" in Santos's eyes, but later Santos had accepted his son for the way he is. After Santos' tragic death in \"the first season finale\", Justin was dealing in his own way while his mother was still taking care of him, running the salon, meeting new lover interests. In Season 4, Hilda reunites with Bobby Trantino, an old high-school crush, which then they commit into a serious relationship. Throughout Hildas relationship, Bobby finds Justin kissing a boy from his acting class, Austin. Eventually, Justin comes out as gay. He is also really friendly with Marc St. James, who provides Justin with some emotional support.\n\nChristina McKinney\n\nChristina McKinney, played by Ashley Jensen, was the first person to befriend Betty when she arrived at Mode; with her knack for office gossip, she revealed to Betty about the true circumstances that led to Betty's hiring as Daniel's assistant. Despite her lack of trust in \"the bitches at Mode\" and especially Wilhelmina, she often became a willing pawn in Wilhelmina's schemes: as an aspiring fashion designer, Christina agreed to deliver evidence that would implicate Bradford Meade for the murder of Fey Sommers; in exchange Wilhelmina featured Christina's designs in the Mode fashion show. Christina admitted that she emigrated from Scotland five years prior to the first season, after abandoning her alcoholic husband Stuart. Stuart would later track Christina down at Mode, where he revealed he had severe liver damage and only had a few months to live, unless he secured the funds for an experimental treatment. Christina promised to get the money, but after her initial attempts failed, she reluctantly accepted Wilhelmina's offer in exchange to serve as the surrogate mother for Wilhelmina and Bradford Meade's child. She later gave birth to the baby (actually her own) during Fashion Week 2009. She eventually leaves with the baby and Stuart to go back to Scotland. She became a famous fashion designer in London and introduces Betty to Mr. Dunne who is a publisher and was last seen in Hilda's bachelorette party.\n\nAlexis Meade\n\nAlexis Meade (né Alexander Spencer Meade), played by Elizabeth Payne (credited as \"The Mysterious Woman\") and Rebecca Romijn, assigned male at birth and given the name Alex Meade, is the parent of Daniel Meade, Jr. Upon Bradford's vehement objections over her desire to have gender-affirmation surgery, she faked her death and hid for two years prior to the series start, recuperating from the surgery and emerging as Alexis. She was in league with Wilhelmina in plotting revenge against Bradford. In exchange for her loyalty, she promises Wilhelmina the editor job at Mode. Their schemes fall through as Alexis reconciles with Daniel and even attempts to make peace with her father until she finds out that he is plotting to get her out of the country. In revenge, she hires a hitman to kill Bradford, but the plan backfires. After the hitman cuts the brakes of Bradford's car, Alexis drives it, rushing to get help for Daniel following an overdose, and the car crashes. After the car crash, Alexis suffers from retrograde amnesia, but she then remembers everything. Upon Bradford's death, she and Daniel fight for control of Meade Publications, which they settle through a paintball game in the Mode offices. She briefly sides with Wilhelmina by giving her the editor-in-chief role, but she changes her mind and reinstates Daniel after sales plummet. She later gives up her role as owner of Meade Publications by giving her shares of stock back to Claire after agreeing to plead guilty to accidentally pushing Christina down a flight of stairs. Claire gave shares to Wilhelmina in return for Alexis's freedom. When released, Alexis decides to leave and live in Paris.\n\nBradford Meade\n\nBradford Meade, played by Alan Dale, placed his son Daniel in charge of Mode following the death of Fey Sommers, the previous Mode editor and Bradford's mistress; this appointment angered Wilhelmina, who immediately began plotting to take over Mode. Annoyed by Daniel's lackadaisical attitude towards work and tendency to sleep with his assistants, Bradford hired Betty knowing that Daniel would find her unattractive and get him to focus on his job. He was suspected in Fey's murder, but was cleared when his wife Claire confessed. Bradford favored his son Alex over Daniel, until Alex told Bradford that he'd wanted a sex change; Bradford vehemently objected and threatened to disown Alex if he went through with the operation. After faking his death, Alex re-emerged as Alexis and with a vendetta against Bradford. When her partnership with Alexis fell apart, Wilhelmina set her sights on seducing Bradford, hoping to marry him and seize control of Meade Publications; however, Bradford suffered a heart attack and later died before he could say \"I do\".\n\nWalter\nWalter, played by Kevin Sussman, was Betty's boyfriend at series start; in the pilot episode, he abruptly dumped Betty for Gina Gambarro, but then pleaded Betty to take him back after finding out that Gina only wanted him for his employee discount. He and Betty reconciled briefly, although Walter's derision of Betty's job at Mode and her ambitions in general further strained their fragile relationship. They eventually broke up when Walter decided to accept a new job in Maryland; the split was amicable as they both admitted they had been drifting apart for a long time.\n\nClaire Meade\n\nClaire Meade, played by Judith Light, is a recovering alcoholic, she was upset over Bradford's numerous infidelities, especially over his twenty-year-long affair with former Mode editor Fey Sommers. She had admitted to Betty that she killed Fey and attempted to leave the country in order to evade murder charges, but then turned herself in. When it was revealed that she was the true owner of Mode, Wilhelmina plotted to gain control by starting an affair with Bradford which led to his divorcing Claire in order to marry Wilhelmina; this action prompted Claire to escape from prison to stop Wilhelmina. After Bradford's death, Claire was sent back to prison to await her murder trial; she was cleared of the crime when it was revealed Claire had unknowingly been under the influence of a poisonous perfume concocted by Fey that was meant to kill Claire, but instead the perfume had caused Claire to go insane and cause the events that led to Fey's demise. Now free, she soon found herself bored and neglected by her children; after meeting with other women with similar feelings of restlessness, she was inspired to start up her own magazine, entitled Hot Flash. She and Cal Hartely had an affair and had a child Tyler Meade-Hartley.\n\nHenry Grubstick\n\nHenry Grubstick, played by Christopher Gorham, was originally from Tucson, Arizona. At the series start he shared a flirtation with Betty, but didn't make any serious advances since she was still involved with Walter. However, when Betty had finally broken up with Walter, Henry's ex-girlfriend Charlie had arrived from Tucson to reconcile with Henry. Betty admitted to Henry she had feelings for him, but was uncomfortable staying friends with him and Charlie. He later broke up with Charlie in order to date Betty, but then Charlie dropped in on their first date to reveal she was pregnant with Henry's child. Despite the circumstances, he and Betty start up a relationship, ever present of the looming deadline and heartbreak in store for them. The two would later break up after she turned down his marriage proposal. He also breaks up with Charlie after he returns to Arizona and now travels around the world with a new girlfriend. Later, he receives a drunk dialed message from Betty, inviting him to be her date to Hilda's wedding. The two eventually figure out they are too different to be together, and remain friends.\n\nMatt Hartley\nMatt Hartley (season 4; recurring in season 3), played by Daniel Eric Gold, is a love interest for Betty. The two hit it off, leading to indications that they could be more than just friends. He also has an MBA and almost became a lawyer. It was later revealed that he comes from a wealthy family after Betty discovered that a check sent to her family came from him. In the season 3 Finale, Matt and Betty are about to move in together. However, Matt sees Betty kissing Henry and breaks up with her at the end of the episode. In season 4, Matt ignores Betty and tries to show that he has no feelings for Betty but he has. In order to make Betty realize what she is missing, Matt takes a job as managing editor at Mode. He makes her life miserable, but they grow closer. Later on in the episode \"The Bahamas Triangle\", Matt kisses Betty and they get back together again, until Matt leaves in \"Back in Her Place\" to tour and help out in Africa.\n\nRecurring characters\nCharacters who appeared in at least three episodes.\n\nMinor characters\nCharacters who appeared in either one or two epsiodes.\n\nUnseen characters\nThe following characters play important roles in Ugly Betty, although they are only shown in pictures or video footage.\n\nSee also\nUgly Betty\n\nReferences\n\nExternal links\n Bettysuarez.com Official website at ABC.com, with info on the characters.\n\n \nUgly Betty",

"Sydney Anne Bristow (played by Jennifer Garner) is a fictional character and the protagonist of the television series Alias. She is an American woman with a Russian-Canadian family background who works as a spy for the CIA.\n\nSydney is depicted in the series as being strong both physically and emotionally. She deals with some significant trauma over the years: the death of her fiancé, the death of her best friend, the realization that her mother was a former KGB spy, the estrangement of many of her friends and the constant activity and changes that she must endure from being a spy on a regular basis. Sydney is highly skilled in Krav Maga and is a hyper polyglot, speaking English, Russian, German, Greek, Dutch, French, Italian, Spanish, Portuguese, Norwegian, Swedish, Romanian, Hungarian, Hebrew, Uzbek, Arabic, Persian, Urdu, Indonesian, Cantonese, Mandarin, Japanese, Korean, Hindi, Vietnamese, Polish, Serbian, Czech, Ukrainian, and Bulgarian in various episodes. Throughout the series her code names are Bluebird, Freelancer, Mountaineer, and Phoenix.\n\nCharacter biography\nSydney Bristow was born April 17, 1975. For the first six years of her life she lived with both of her parents, Jack and Laura Bristow (real name Irina Derevko). However, her father's work with the CIA kept him away from home much of the time. Sydney and her family were living in rural Maryland until Jack was transferred to Los Angeles when Sydney was two. In 1981 her mother, who was also an undercover agent for the KGB, faked her own death to prevent being apprehended by the FBI. Afterwards Jack was taken into custody for some time, because it was believed that he also was part of a larger conspiracy.\n\nJack named Arvin Sloane as Sydney's temporary guardian and Sydney went to live with Sloane and his wife Emily, for a time (Note that this is a retcon as it was previously established that Sydney did not meet Arvin or Emily until Sydney had already started working for SD-6. Sydney herself had stated that she had large memory gaps from around the time of her mother's death and can only remember that her father began drinking heavily and became more of an absentee father, leaving Sydney to be raised by nannies. Later it is revealed that the memory gaps are due to Jack, who after finally having been cleared, tested Project Christmas on Sydney, so that she would never be recruited by the KGB, and like all the candidates tested, the training ended with Sydney's memory erased.)\n\nWhen Sydney was 19 years old and a freshman in college, a man approached her and told her that he worked with US intelligence and that they wanted to interview her because she fit a profile. She declined at first but then decided to join them. After meeting with an organization she believed was the Central Intelligence Agency, she signed \"dozens of non-disclosure agreements\" and was offered a job.\n\nThey had Sydney take a job as an office assistant on the twentieth floor of Credit Dauphine, a corporate bank in downtown Los Angeles. She assumed that the bank was somehow affiliated with the CIA. When she told her father about her job after about a month, he ordered her to quit because as a double agent within SD-6, he knew the bank was a front. Sydney angrily refused to quit and this led to the beginning of a several-year estrangement in their relationship.\n\nEventually she was told that she was ready for the transition, which involved eight months of training. It was during the training that Sydney first heard the term SD-6. At this time, she believed that SD-6 was affiliated with the CIA, that it was a black ops division of the CIA, funded by the CIA's black budget. They led her to believe that SD-6 was one of these divisions and that that was why they did not operate through Langley, Virginia.\n\nThe transition ended when they made reference to SD-6 headquarters. They told her they would take her there. What she did not realize was that the headquarters was in the same building. Her role within SD-6 was desk work, at first, but she advanced quickly. Within the first year, she was assigned to reconnaissance missions.\n\nSydney was told that the objective of SD-6 was \"the retrieval and study of intelligence, both military and industrial, throughout the world that is critical to the superiority and survival of the United States of America.\"\n\nSeven years after joining SD-6, Sydney discovered that SD-6 was actually a branch of the Alliance of Twelve, an international organized crime group involved in the trade of intelligence and weapons, and was an enemy of the United States.\n\nStorylines\n\nSeason 1\nSydney was engaged to be married to her boyfriend Danny Hecht, but he was killed by SD-6 after Sydney told him that she worked for the CIA. Shortly thereafter, she was informed of what SD-6 was by her mostly estranged father, who worked in the highest levels of SD-6.\n\nSydney went to the real CIA with her knowledge of SD-6, and was recruited by the CIA into working as a double agent to bring down SD-6. Her handler, Agent Michael Vaughn, and who is her ongoing love interest on the show, gives her missions from the CIA. She soon learns that her own father is a double agent as well. During her time at SD-6, Sydney performed missions with Marcus Dixon, who sometimes became suspicious that Sydney was a double agent. Dixon was still under the impression that SD-6 was part of the U.S. Government. Sydney had to balance all these new revelations with keeping all these secrets from her friends, notably Will Tippin and Francie Calfo.\n\nDuring this season, the head of SD-6, Arvin Sloane, was obsessed with Milo Rambaldi, a man from the 15th century who was able to create brilliant devices that were far ahead of their time. Sydney worked on a number of missions to retrieve or modify these Rambaldi devices to prevent them from falling into the hands of SD-6. During the season finale, on one such mission to destroy such a device, Sydney is captured and discovers that the organization that SD-6 has been pursuing is being run by Irina Derevko, Sydney's mother and a former KGB spy.\n\nSeason 2\nDuring season 2, Sydney continues to act as a double agent inside SD-6 and also performs direct missions for the CIA. Irina Derevko turns herself in to the CIA and provides valuable information to help bring down SD-6. Midway through the season, the CIA finally has enough information to bring down the entire Alliance organization and the assault on SD-6 headquarters, led by Sydney and Vaughn. The organization comes tumbling down, but Sloane gets away and is now working covertly with Julian Sark.\n\nFollowing the fall of SD-6, Sydney decides she wants to leave the CIA but finds herself unable to do so knowing that Sloane is still free. Sydney also has to work to make amends with Dixon, who is bitter that Sydney knew SD-6 was not part of the U.S. Government and didn't tell him, although they are eventually able to patch things up and Dixon begins to work with the CIA.\n\nDuring this time, Sydney's friend and roommate Francie has secretly been replaced by an agent of Sloane and Sark's, Allison Doren. Sydney eventually figures out that \"Francie\" is not who she says she is and the two engage in a battle which destroys the entire apartment. Sydney shoots Allison three times, apparently killing her, but Sydney is also severely wounded and passes out.\n\nWhen Sydney wakes up, she is in Hong Kong and comes to find out that two years have passed without her knowledge.\n\nSeason 2 saw a fundamental change in Sydney's character, allegedly introduced in order to give the show more action. In the first season, Sydney almost never kills, preferring fisticuffs and tranquilizer guns to deadly blows and real bullets. Starting this season, she behaves more like a stereotypical spy, usually killing enemies and rarely using tranq guns. Although there were some minor incidents prior, the episode \"Phase One\" is generally considered to mark the arrival of this new version of Sydney. While some fans have criticized this change in Sydney's character, others have suggested that it might have been influenced by the arrival of her mother. During season 2 Sydney also begins to dress and act more sexually to achieve her goals.\n\nSeason 3\nSydney now has to deal with the pain of not knowing what has happened for the previous two years of her life, but also the fact that Vaughn is now married to another woman, National Security Council liaison Lauren Reed. Sydney tries to manipulate the CIA to stay in the loop of the organization (they don't trust her because of her absence).\n\nSydney learns that an organization known as The Covenant seems to be involved with her disappearance. In the meantime, Sydney continues to perform missions for the CIA, while working with her father to find out more about her past.\n\nEventually Sydney learns through FBI Assistant Director Kendall (who is actually the director of the Department of Special Research) that she worked in the employ of the Covenant as a supposedly brainwashed assassin, although she was able to resist their attempts to manipulate her due to her experiences with Project Christmas and report to the CIA during this time. Eventually, she wiped her own memories to conceal information and perhaps also because of the horrifying realization that the Covenant had extracted her eggs in order to fulfill one of Rambaldi's prophecies. She was also greatly disturbed that she chose to kill an unarmed man in cold blood rather than risk losing her cover as a brainwashed assassin.\n\nSydney and Vaughn continue to suppress their feelings for each other in light of Vaughn's relationship with Lauren. However, it is discovered that Lauren is actually an agent working for the Covenant, although both Sydney and Vaughn are, at first, unaware of this fact.\n\nThe CIA learns that there is a mole in the Los Angeles office. Jack is assigned to find the mole and soon starts to suspect Lauren. Jack confronts Lauren's father, Senator Reed, but he dismisses it.\n\nMeanwhile Vaughn decides to separate from Lauren. Lauren tells Sark and Sark explains that the last time Vaughn strayed from a relationship because of Sydney he quickly reconnected when his then-girlfriend Alice Williams' father died. Sark orders Lauren to kill her father. Lauren cannot go through with it but her mother bursts in and finishes the job. They frame Senator Reed for being the mole. Vaughn quickly recommits to Lauren, breaking Sydney's heart.\n\nOn a mission to meet a Covenant asset, Sydney sees Lauren. When she tells Vaughn he dismisses it. Sydney talks to Jack and then Jack talks to Vaughn telling him the signs that his wife is betraying him. When Vaughn becomes suspicious he looks in Lauren's suitcase and discovers evidence that she does work for the Covenant.\n\nVaughn tells Jack and Sydney and he is ordered by Dixon to pretend that he is unaware of Lauren's betrayal. Lauren soon finds out that she has been played by Vaughn and she and Sark kidnap him. After torturing him and failing to get any information they leave him for dead. Weiss finds Vaughn and he is taken to the hospital.\n\nSydney soon discovers that the Passenger is Nadia Santos, her half-sister by the way of an affair between Irina and Sloane. After a rescue mission, Sydney's sister is taken by Sloane so he can get the formula that was stored in her brain by Rambaldi (actually her unique nervous system can replay the graphical hand movements encoded in the Rambaldi Fluid-protein strands that cause unconscious, movements like handwriting). Sydney rescues her again, but Nadia later elects to accompany Sloane in search of the Rambaldi artifact known as The Sphere of Life.\n\nLauren enters the CIA office disguised as Sydney and steals information. Sark is captured and interviewed by Vaughn. Sark gives up Lauren and Vaughn resolves to kill her. Vaughn tracks her down and brings her to an empty warehouse. As Lauren dangles from the ceiling, Vaughn states that he loves Sydney more than he hates Lauren thus he will not kill Lauren. He does, however, plan to douse her in hydrochloric acid, rendering her unrecognizable. Sydney's aunt, the ambiguous Katya Derevko, stabs him in the back. When Sydney learns about Vaughn, she goes after Lauren herself. Vaughn goes after her and arrives just in time to save Sydney from Lauren. As Vaughn and Sydney kiss, Lauren tries to make one last shot. Vaughn sees this and shoots her dead. Before Lauren dies she tells Sydney that there is a safe deposit box in Wittenburg that has information about her.\n\nSydney goes to the box and finds secret CIA documents about her. Jack gets there and tells her that she was never supposed to find them.\n\nSeason 4\nSeveral months after her discovery, Sydney is once again estranged from her father, having discovered (through the secret documents) that he had killed Irina Derevko. Following a botched mission in Shanghai, she receives a dressing down at a performance review, is demoted, and is subsequently dismissed from the CIA.\n\nIn truth, Sydney has been recruited into APO (Authorized Personnel Only), a new black ops division of the CIA patterned after SD-6. Much to her dismay, this new agency is headed by Sloane, who oversees a handpicked team which includes Sydney, Jack Bristow, Vaughn, and Dixon. During APO's first mission, Marshall is also recruited, as is her half-sister, Nadia. Her former colleague, Eric Weiss, thinks that Sydney is working for a bank - the same cover she had used when working for SD-6.\n\nDuring the course of APO's first mission, to bring down a terrorist and assassin-for-hire, she learns the man was actually hired to kill her - by Irina. Jack subsequently killed Irina to protect his daughter. Meanwhile, Sydney rekindles her romance with Vaughn. Later, it is revealed that Irina is not actually dead - Jack killed a genetic double in an elaborate deception orchestrated by Irina's evil sister, Elena, who recruits Sloane in activating a huge Mueller device invented by Rambaldi, which has the potential to destroy the world. Irina is rescued from Elena's clutches and reunited with her family - including Nadia, who she hasn't seen for years - and together they fly to Russia to stop Elena's plans.\n\nAround this time, after some twists and turns and ups and downs in their relationship, Vaughn finally proposes marriage prior to the mission to go after Elena. Sydney doesn't answer just yet. Finally, when she is about to destroy the Mueller device, Sydney goes back to Vaughn and gives him an affirmative reply.\n\nDuring the mission in Russia, it is revealed that Sloane was able to infiltrate the drinking water of the city through his charity, and all who had drunk this water and were exposed to the Mueller device were genetically altered and became excessively violent. When Nadia is captured by Elena, she is injected with the infected water and consequently attempts to kill Sydney.\n\nThe season ends on a cliffhanger when Vaughn reveals to Sydney that his real name is not Michael Vaughn, and depending on who is asked, he might be a \"bad guy\". At that moment, their car is T-boned by an unknown assailant.\n\nSeason 5\nSydney and Vaughn survive the car crash, but Vaughn is taken by their assailants. He manages to escape and tells Sydney that his real name is André Michaux. He also tells her that he's been working for several years to uncover the activities of a mysterious organization known as Prophet Five. His father before him had also worked to gather intel on Prophet Five. Shortly thereafter, Sydney learns she is pregnant and Vaughn is shot and apparently killed by a rogue agent posing as a CIA officer. Four months later, Sydney makes contact with Renée Rienne, an assassin on the CIA's most wanted list, who had been working with Vaughn, and whose father had worked with Vaughn's father, to bring down Prophet Five.\n\nSydney finds a kindred spirit in Rachel Gibson, a young, wide-eyed, inexperienced agent rescued from \"The Shed\", a covert criminal organization that, much like SD-6, operates under the alias of a CIA black-ops division. Gibson, like Sydney years earlier, had been duped into believing she was working for the CIA. Now a member of APO, Gibson is learning the ways of being a field agent, with Sydney her designated handler, just as Michael had worked with her. With Nadia still comatose in the hospital, Gibson has moved into Sydney's home.\n\nSydney has also put at least some demons of the past behind her. Now fully reconciled with her father, she has also expressed some forgiveness of Sloane, to the point of writing a letter of recommendation for Sloane's release hearing.\n\nSydney continues to go on missions when her condition allows, often using the pregnancy as part of her disguises. However, in the episode \"Solo\", she came to realize that these days might be fast coming to a (temporary) end when she is not allowed to go on a mission due to her condition.\n\nThree weeks before her due date, Sydney is captured by Prophet Five in order to force her (via a form of drug-induced hypnosis) to remember details of a giant SD-6 flowchart that she had been shown by Michael Vaughn during one of their first meetings. Encouraged by her mental recreation of Michael Vaughn, she is able to resist the hypnosis and provide false information to her kidnappers (who, unbeknownst to Sydney, include Irina). Sydney discovers that she has been stranded aboard a freighter at sea where she attempts to elude Prophet Five and one of their associates, Kelly Peyton. During this incident, she discovers that her family doctor is actually a Prophet Five agent, and suffers a complication with her pregnancy that (to her later surprise) is corrected by Prophet Five and the baby is saved.\n\nAfter being extracted by APO, Sydney is reunited with her mother and together with her and Jack they travel to Vancouver in order to obtain a mysterious object called \"The Horizon\" which Prophet Five believed Sydney possessed. During this mission, which is complicated by the discovery that Irina works for Prophet Five and a subsequent attack by Peyton, Sydney goes into labor and — with the aid of Irina and Jack — gives birth to a baby girl, named Isabelle. Irina subsequently disappears with The Horizon.\n\nAfter the birth of Isabelle, it is revealed that Vaughn didn't die. After his shooting, Jack helped him fake his death and hide in Bhutan.\n\nAbout a month after giving birth, Sydney returns to duty when Anna Espinosa is recruited by Peyton to kidnap Will Tippin. Espinosa implants an explosive in Tippin's head and demands that page 47 of Rambaldi's manuscript be turned over to her in return for the disarming code. Sydney and Will battle Anna but lose page 47, and in the process Anna uses an unknown chemical agent to collect genetic material from Sydney. Anna goes through the genetic doubling process and becomes Sydney's duplicate.\n\nAfter Anna kills Renée Rienne while she is on a mission with APO, a chip bearing Michael Vaughn's real name (André Michaux) is discovered implanted in her body. The chip bears what appears to be a corrupted code. Sydney heads to Nepal to meet with Vaughn but is intercepted by an agent of Prophet Five while Anna keeps Sydney's rendezvous with Vaughn. Anna and Vaughn discover that Vaughn has the other half of the code on a chip implanted in his body and after deciphering the code he and Anna head to Germany. They discover a bunker containing all of Vaughn's father's research on Prophet Five. Vaughn reveals that he knows Anna is not Sydney and they fight. Anna gains the upper hand until Sydney shoots her in the head, killing her. Sydney goes undercover as Anna to infiltrate Prophet Five and meets up with Peyton.\n\nSydney, still undercover as Anna, meets Sloane and learns that she is to seek a rose from an ancient Italian monastery. She meets up with Julian Sark in Italy and he gets them arrested to infiltrate the prison that stands where the monastery once did. Sydney discovers an elderly man who identifies himself as The Rose. The Rose gives Sydney an amulet and tells her she can't stop Prophet Five from carrying out its plans. While Peyton extracts Sark from the prison, Sloane attempts to kill Sydney, still believing she is Anna. Sydney survives the attempt but Sloane escapes with the amulet. Sydney and Vaughn return to Los Angeles, where Vaughn meets his daughter for the first time. Their happiness is short-lived, however, as Sydney gets a call from Sloane, who has figured out that she is still alive.\n\nSydney finally travels to Sydney, Australia as part of an APO mission to get intel on the twelve leaders of Prophet Five. She successfully captures intel on three of the twelve and returns to Los Angeles.\n\nShortly thereafter, Marshall and Rachel are abducted by Peyton and Sark respectively and Sydney encounters Sloane, who convinces her to get Marshall to help him locate a certain cavern. Marshall is able to pass a message to Sydney, who, working with Marshall's wife Carrie, is able to locate Marshall and Rachel and mount a rescue. Marshall and Rachel advise the team that Sloane is seeking a cave in Italy and Sydney deduces that Sloane is headed for Mount Subasio. She and Vaughn travel there and Sydney descends into the cave. There she encounters Sloane again, with the amulet she recovered earlier. Sloane fires several rounds into the floor of the cave at Sydney's feet, causing the floor to give way. Vaughn rescues Sydney and performs CPR on her.\n\nThe team next tracks Sloane to Mongolia and the tomb of Milo Rambaldi. There Sydney encounters Sloane yet again as he implements his endgame by placing the Horizon on an altar, thus creating a red, hovering ball-shaped fluid similar to that created by the Mueller device. Sydney disrupts Sloane's plans by grabbing the Horizon from the altar, causing the ball to collapse in a torrent of red liquid. Sark leads Jack and Vaughn into the tomb after capturing them, and Sloane shoots Jack in the chest to force Sydney and Vaughn to leave. Seeing her father severely wounded, Sydney grabs a gun and eventually shoots Sloane several times, who crashes into the puddle of Rambaldi-fluid. With Sloane seemingly dead, Sydney tries to stay with her bleeding father, but he begs her to leave him and to stop Irina. Sydney reluctantly obeys and departs for Hong Kong for a final confrontation with Irina. Jack drags himself back into the tomb and confronts Sloane, who has become immortal because of the fluid. Sloane offers to heal Jack, but Jack tells Sloane that he has caused so much pain for Sydney over the years that he will not allow him to do it again and reveals a bomb that he strapped to his body and detonates it, killing himself. The explosion causes a cave in and Sloane is trapped in there forever.\n\nIn Hong Kong, Sydney and Irina clash a final time, with Sydney seeking to stop Irina from using the Horizon to gain immortality. In the course of the fight, Irina ends up atop a glass skylight, the Horizon just inches away from her. With the glass cracking under Irina's weight, Sydney pleads with her to take her hand. Irina refuses and attempts to grab the Horizon. The glass breaks completely, causing Irina to fall to her death.\n\nThe series ends a few years into the future. Sydney and Vaughn are married and semi-retired and are now living in a beachside house on an obviously very far off island. Dixon comes to visit and is greeted by Vaughn and Sydney, who is holding their second child who is named Jack after Sydney's father. Isabelle has found the blocks for Project Christmas and assembles them in no time, but dismantles it after Sydney calls for her and she joins her family outside. As everyone walks down the beach, the screen cuts to black with the message: THANK YOU FOR FIVE INCREDIBLE YEARS.\n\nCasting\nBefore landing the lead role in Alias, Garner auditioned five times for a guest appearance in J. J. Abrams's Felicity. When Abrams created Alias, he wanted Garner to portray Sydney. \"There was something about her that I just thought was really special. I always thought she had something in her personality that was funnier and sexier and smarter and more mischievous than anything I'd seen her do. And when I wrote Sydney, I wanted to show that,\" he said. Melissa George, who went on to play Lauren Reed on the show, was also considered for the role of Sydney. Garner took private martial arts lessons for one month during the audition process. She did many of the physical stunts herself throughout the series. Her first stunt double was Dana Hee, who was later replaced by Shauna Duggins.\n\nReception\n\nAs of 2004, Sydney was named one of the 10 best current characters by Zap2it. In June 2010, she was ranked No. 42 on Entertainment Weekly'''s \"100 Greatest Characters of the Last 20 Years\". UGO.com ranked her the 20th Top TV Character out of 50. Sydney was listed AOL TV's \"100 Most Memorable Female TV Characters\", ranking at No. 27. and AfterEllen.com's Top 50 Favorite Female TV Characters. Bristow also appeared in Maxim list of the Hottest Nerd Crushes. She was also included in Total Sci-Fi Onlines list of The 25 Women Who Shook Sci-Fi. TV Guide named her one of TV's Toughest Ladies. Her relationship with Michael Vaughn was featured in TV Guide''s list of the best TV couples of all time.\n\nGarner also received critical acclaim for her performance. She won a Golden Globe Award for Best Actress – Television Series Drama out of four consecutive nominations, as well as four Emmy nominations for her lead performance. She was nominated for the Screen Actors Guild Award for Outstanding Performance by a Female Actor in a Drama Series in 2004 and she won the award in 2005.\n\nIn August 2003, the actual CIA enlisted Jennifer Garner to appear in a recruitment video, which would be shown at fairs and college campuses. A CIA officer said: \"Jennifer and the character of Sydney Bristow both reflect a lot of the qualities we look for in new career field officers.\"\n\nReferences\n\nAlias (TV series) characters\nAmerican female characters in television\nFemale soldier and warrior characters in television\nFictional American secret agents\nFictional Central Intelligence Agency personnel\nFictional double agents\nFictional female martial artists\nFictional female secret agents and spies\nFictional feminists and women's rights activists\nFictional Krav Maga practitioners\nFictional polyglots\nFictional secret agents and spies in television\nMartial artist characters in television\nTelevision characters introduced in 2001",
"Veronica Mars is the fictional protagonist, occasional narrator (through voice-overs), and antiheroine of the American television series Veronica Mars, which aired on UPN from 2004 to 2006 and on The CW from 2006 to 2007. The character was portrayed by Kristen Bell through the duration of the series. Following the show's cancellation, Bell reprised the role in the 2014 film continuation. The character, created by Rob Thomas, was originally male and the protagonist of his unproduced novel Untitled Rob Thomas Teen Detective Novel, which eventually became the basis of the series. After the work's transition from novel to television series, Thomas changed the character's gender from male to female because he believed that a noir piece told from a female point of view would be more interesting.\n\nBefore the show starts, Veronica's best friend, Lilly Kane, has been murdered, and her father, Keith Mars, has lost not only his position of sheriff in the fictional town of Neptune, California, but also his reputation, status, and wife. The series begins with Veronica at the bottom of her posh high school's pecking order, having lost her popular status and popular friends because her father accused her boyfriend's father of involvement in the murder.\n\nCharacter history\n\nBackground and details of plot \nAt the beginning of the series, Veronica is a 17-year-old junior at Neptune High in her the fictional town of Neptune, California, which is someplace near San Diego. According to series creator Rob Thomas, Veronica's birthday is in August. After (and sometimes before) school, Veronica works for her father, private investigator Keith Mars, the former sheriff of Balboa County, California. Veronica has few friends until she meets and helps Wallace Fennel, who becomes her best friend.\n\nBack-story to season one \nVeronica's story is told via voice-overs and flashbacks fitted into the main story. The year before the series picks up, Veronica was part of the in-crowd at Neptune High. Her best friend was popular junior Lilly Kane. Veronica was dating Lilly's brother, Duncan Kane and she was dating Logan Echolls, Duncan's good friend. The four were at the forefront of the school's wealthy and popular \"09er\" clique (named after the 90909 zip code, a wealthy area of Neptune) that dominated Neptune High's social scene. Though Veronica did not meet the economic status of the other 09ers, she was accepted into the clique because she was dating Duncan, and because of her father's influence as sheriff.\n\nDuncan broke up with Veronica and stopped talking to her with no explanation. Lilly refused to explain to Veronica what went wrong. Shortly afterwards, Lilly was found murdered at the side of her family's pool. Sheriff Keith Mars accused Lilly's father, Neptune beloved software entrepreneur Jake Kane, of involvement in the murder. The citizens of Neptune were horrified, and Keith quickly found himself voted out of office and turned into a pariah by the wealthy 09er community. Keith's credibility took another blow when his replacement as Sheriff, former Deputy Sheriff Don Lamb, arrested disgruntled former Kane Software employee Abel Koontz, who confessed to Lilly's murder.\n\nThe shock and loss of income destroyed the Mars family. Veronica's mother started drinking heavily and abandoned the family several months later.\n\nVeronica sealed her fate as an outsider when she refused to denounce her father. Duncan stopped speaking to Veronica, and the rest of the 09ers followed suit. Veronica found herself banished from the exclusive 09er social scene and friends.\n\nTwo months after her death, Veronica crashed an 09er party, thrown by Shelley Pomroy, to prove to her ex-friends that she did not care what they said about her. At the party, Veronica's drink is spiked with GHB and she awakens the next morning in a guest bedroom without any recollection of the night before and without any underwear. To her horror, she realizes she was raped. When she reports the crime to Sheriff Lamb, he calls her a liar and throws her out of his office.\n\nThese events change Veronica. She became cynical, filled with contempt and disgust towards her classmates and Neptune's wealthy elite. A pariah like her father, she funneled her time and energy into helping him in his own detective agency. But when a chance encounter with new transfer student Wallace Fennel led to her gaining a new friend, she began to use her investigation talents to help her fellow students and to go head-to-head with the 09'ers.\n\nVeronica slowly begins to outgrow her cynicism, with the help of new friends Wallace Fennel, Cindy \"Mac\" Mackenzie, and Meg Manning.\n\nPrior to Lilly's death Veronica is portrayed as carefree, girly, sweet and young, with long hair. It is suggested that Veronica cut her hair because it reminded her too much of Lilly. The transition to a sharp-witted, cynical, edgy outcast was quick.\n\nDetective \nAfter being ousted from the Sheriff's Department, Keith Mars opens Mars Investigations, a PI agency, Veronica gains an after-school job as his secretary. Though she is often forbidden from handling certain cases, she often oversteps her boundaries and sometimes even completely solves the case before her father. She is also an unofficial private investigator for Neptune High tracking down computer hackers, digging up dirt on parents, finding out who stole the school's mascot, and the like. She keeps one step ahead of her father and Vice-Principal Van Clemmons through the occasional help of her best friend Wallace — Watson to her Holmes — and classmate Eli \"Weevil\" Navarro, the leader of the PCH Biker Gang.\n\nLogan Echolls (Jason Dohring), once a close friend, had helped organize the blacklisting of Veronica from the 09er clique. The two crossed swords on several occasions before Logan sought Veronica's help in finding out if his mother, Lynn, might have faked her death when she jumped into the ocean. Still reeling from the abandonment of her own mother, Veronica empathized with Logan's pain, and the two reconciled most of their differences. Towards the end of the third season of the series, Veronica successfully completes her California state examination to receive her official license as a detective in her own right. Veronica scored a 95 on her private investigator test.\n\nSome years later, Veronica is shown to have moved on from her old life as a detective and has a job offer from a prestigious law firm in New York. However, when Logan is accused of murder, Veronica returns to Neptune to clear his name, eventually deciding to stay in Neptune to fight the local corruption and classism that has developed there since her departure.\n\nRomantic relationships\n\nDuncan Kane \n\nVeronica dated Duncan Kane until approximately September 2003. Both Veronica's mother Lianne Mars and Duncan's mother Celeste Kane were against their relationship, though Veronica did not find out why until much later. Some time prior to Lilly's death, Celeste revealed to Duncan that his father, Jake, had had an affair with Lianne, and that Veronica might be his half-sister. Duncan broke up with Veronica because of this, but did not explain his reasons for doing so. Keith Mars later had a paternity test which proved that he is her father, not Jake Kane.\n\nVeronica did not speak to Duncan until well into her Junior year. A few episodes after the series starts, Duncan and Veronica start being friendly towards each other, eventually even becoming friends. That comes to an end when Veronica believes Duncan raped her and confronts him about it. The issue was eventually resolved when the fact that both parties were under the influence of GHB came to light.\n\nIn the summer between the first and second seasons Veronica and Duncan got back together on her 18th birthday. They stayed together until roughly the middle of the second season. Unbeknownst to Duncan, his previous girlfriend Meg Manning was pregnant before they broke up. Meg was on the bus that crashed at the beginning of the season, but survived comatose. She later died of a blood clot shortly after coming out of a coma. Their daughter was born just before she died. In order to prevent Meg's abusive parents from getting custody of his baby, Duncan decided to kidnap her and run away. Veronica helps him to do so and knowing that they can never speak to or see each other again, the two of them share a tearful farewell. Duncan does not appear again the series except for a brief cameo at the end of season 2 where he is now living in Australia and is at the beach with his daughter when his phone rings. He answers it, saying \"CW?\" (a joke about the show being moved to the then new network CW) and it's Clarence Weidman on the other end, who says \"It's a done deal.\" in reference to the killing of Aaron Echolls, suggesting that Duncan was the one who arranged it as revenge for Aaron being acquitted over Lilly's murder.\n\nTroy Vandegraff \n\nTroy Vandegraff was a childhood friend of Duncan Kane who attended Neptune High for a short period early in the first season. Despite the bad rumors about Veronica circulating around the school, Troy took a liking to her. Veronica was reluctant to date him at first, but warmed to him when she realized his good intentions toward her. In the fifth episode though, Troy deceives her into helping him escape being sent to boarding school so he can run away with an old girlfriend. Veronica realizes his plan and double-crosses him.\n\nVeronica does not meet Troy again until the second season episode \"The Rapes of Graff\" when they both go to visit Hearst College. Though she is at first cold toward him, Troy insists that he's changed. He also tells her that his feelings toward her were real when they dated and apologizes for how he treated her. When he is suspected of raping a student and shaving her head after a party, Veronica helps to prove his innocence and they part amicably.\n\nLeo D'Amato \n\nLeo D’Amato (Max Greenfield) is a deputy at the Neptune Sheriff Department whom Veronica dated for a short time in the middle of the first season. At first, Veronica merely went to him for help in getting access to classified evidence or files in the police station, but she soon fell for him. Veronica broke up with Leo after she and Logan Echolls kissed and she didn't want to keep dating Leo while she figured out her feelings.\n\nMany years later, in the fourth season, Leo returns as an FBI agent tied to the case which Veronica is working. They resume their friendship and although there is still chemistry, the flirtation between the characters ultimately seals Veronica's resolve to be with Logan.\n\nLogan Echolls \n\nVeronica began to date Logan Echolls at the end of the first season. While she was going out with Leo D’Amato, she kissed Logan in thanks for saving her from a would-be kidnapper (Jonathan Taylor Thomas), who actually turned out to be an ATF agent. Their kiss turned into something more when Logan pulled her into a passionate embrace. They begin to secretly date.\n\nTheir relationship quickly ran into trouble when it was revealed Logan was the one who supplied the GHB that would eventually lead to Veronica being drugged and raped at Shelly Pomroy's party. For a time, Veronica even suspected that Logan was her rapist. When she discovered that he wasn’t, she resolved everything with him. Their relationship was revealed to Logan's 09er friends at a party. At the same party, Veronica discovered cameras trained on the bed in Logan's pool house and flees. Soon after, Veronica found out that Logan had no alibi the day Lilly was murdered and feared that he had killed her.\n\nVeronica found out that the cameras in the pool house had been set up by Logan's father, Aaron Echolls, and discovered that he was the one who killed Lilly after she stole the tapes, he made of them having sex. The night Aaron was arrested for Lilly's murder, Logan turned up at Veronica's house, after having been severely beaten by the PCHers. Veronica stood by him when he was accused of murdering one of them, Felix Toombs. Though he was acquitted, Logan's behavior became erratic over that summer, because of his trial and because of the revelation that his father had been having an affair with Lilly and had killed her.\n\nHe and the 09ers began a vicious turf war with the PCHers. Veronica breaks up with Logan soon after, telling him that he was out of control and that he enjoyed participating in the violence too much.\n\nLate in the season though, he drunkenly revealed to Veronica that he still had deep feelings for her and thought that their love was ‘epic. Veronica visits him the next morning to tell him that she felt the same, only to find out that he had no memory of what he’d said and had slept with old flame Kendall Casablancas the night before. But during her stand-off with Cassidy Casablancas, on the roof of the Neptune Grand, it was Logan that Veronica phoned for help. Logan tackled Cassidy to stop him from shooting Veronica. He then talked Veronica out of shooting Cassidy and comforts her when she thinks her father was blown-up on Woody Goodman's plane.\n\nAfterwards, they resume their relationship and become closer over the summer. At the beginning of the third season, they begin attending Hearst College. Their relationship is as heated and loving as before, but Veronica has developed severe trust issues over the last few years. She constantly struggles against her instincts to track him and verify everything he says and does, while Logan resents the expectations, she places on him and her inability to admit that she might be wrong. Though she spurns him when he reveals that he and Mercer left a motel in Tijuana in flames without helping people to escape, she realizes her feelings for him when he comes to her aid after she is drugged and attacked by the Hearst rapist.\n\nUnable to deal with Veronica being in constant danger, Logan tries to convince her to drop her investigation into the rapes and even has a bodyguard tail her without her knowledge, infuriating Veronica when she finds out. Though they fight out their problems and both admit that they love one another, Logan breaks up with Veronica in the ninth episode. He says that they can both see that they aren’t working out because neither of them can change their ways (Veronica with her trust issues and Logan with his need to protect her despite her wishes) and that he would rather a little pain now than a lot later. He tells her he will always be there for her. Veronica is deeply upset and breaks down when she gets home. Although Logan tries to help Veronica find out who the rapist is, he is still elsewhere when she is attacked by Mercer and Moe. When he learns that Mercer was the one who attacked Veronica, he purposely gets himself arrested so he can be in the same cell as him — for revenge.\n\nThey spent the next six weeks apart. During the break-up, Dick tried to help Logan move on by bringing him to the beach, later meeting up with a group of girls. Later, Veronica showed up at Logan's place and they shared a passionate kiss, realizing that they had missed each other, and became a couple again. In the next episode, Logan told Veronica that he had hooked up with someone else who \"meant less than nothing to him\" over their 6-week break, but didn't elaborate on who it was. It turns out that Logan had slept with Madison Sinclair in Aspen, which Veronica considered one of the worst insults (though Logan didn't know this). This time, sexual jealousy and an unwillingness to forgive and forget ends their relationship.\n\nLogan moved on to Parker Lee, while Veronica did the same with Stosh \"Piz\" Piznarski. Veronica vows never to speak to Logan again after he violently beats up Piz, believing Piz emailed a racy video of himself and Veronica all over Hearst. However, the series ended with Logan and Veronica sharing one last ambiguous look, leaving their relationship unresolved.\n\nAlthough they haven't seen each other in nine years, the characters reconnect in the Veronica Mars film, in which Veronica helps Logan who is accused of murder. They continue their relationship and Logan vows to return to Veronica after his Navy deployment. This relationship is continued into the fourth season which has a side plot revolving around Logan's marriage proposal to Veronica, her rejection then acceptance of it, and finally their wedding. As the series' final twist the Neptune Bomber's last explosion is a bomb left in their car which kills Logan, just before they are heading off on their honeymoon.\n\nStosh \"Piz\" Piznarski \nVeronica met Piz on her first day at Hearst College when Wallace (who is Piz's roommate) requested her help to find Piz's missing things in 'Welcome Wagon.\" When they first meet, Piz seems momentarily stunned by Veronica, and develops a crush on her, which she doesn't return at the time as she is going out with Logan Echolls. Although she ignored his romantic feelings, a steady friendship developed between them. Veronica shared her thoughts with him about her problems with Logan, and after Piz unknowingly gave her the advice she needed, Veronica and Logan reunited (much to Piz's internal disappointment).\n\nPiz and Veronica seem quite happy together, and stand by each other when a racy video of them is emailed around Hearst. When Logan attacks Piz after jumping to the conclusion that Piz made the video, Veronica vows never to speak to him again, and Logan's new girlfriend, Parker, breaks up with him because she realizes that he still has feelings for Veronica. After finding out who sent the video, Piz and Veronica are eating lunch when the culprit walks in. Veronica threatens him but he is unapologetic, taunting her about what he can do. Piz holds Veronica back, advising her to drop it and walk away. She reluctantly obeys. The next day Veronica is approached by the student who bugged Piz's dorm room. He is very insulting to Veronica, who ignores it and warns Logan that the boy is connected to the Mafia. Logan remarks that he wondered why Veronica was so forgiving and then beats the culprit up with much passion (as he does not have anything left to lose). When the student, lying on the floor, threatens \"whoever you are, you're going to die,\" Logan answers flippantly \"yeah, someday,\" then shares a look with Veronica who gives a hint of a smile. Logan then apologizes to Piz for attacking him, as Veronica earlier advised him to do, and leaves the scene without turning back, with Veronica still staring at him. Piz's eyes go from Veronica to Logan, and to Veronica again. Sighing, he expresses a look of realization that he may never have the connection with Veronica that Logan has as she guiltily looks down.\n\nIn the Veronica Mars film, it is revealed that Piz and Veronica broke up after she transferred to Stanford after her freshman year, but they reconnect when she moves to New York for law school. They are dating at the beginning of the film, but he breaks up with her when her hesitancy to leave Neptune (and Logan) and return to New York make him doubt her feelings for him.\n\nReception \n\nAOL included her in its list of TV's Smartest Detectives.

"Patty Hearst is a 1988 American biographical film crime drama directed by Paul Schrader and stars Natasha Richardson as Hearst Corporation heiress Patricia Hearst and Ving Rhames as Symbionese Liberation Army leader Cinque. It is based on Hearst's 1982 autobiography Every Secret Thing (co-written with Alvin Moscow), which was later rereleased as Patty Hearst – Her Own Story.\n\nThe film depicts the kidnapping of student Patty Hearst by the Symbionese Liberation Army, her transformation into an active follower of the SLA after a long-lasting imprisonment and process of purported brainwashing, and her final arrest after a series of armed robberies.\n\nCast\n Natasha Richardson as Patricia Hearst\n William Forsythe as William \"Teko\" Harris\n Ving Rhames as Cinque Mtume\n Frances Fisher as Yolanda\n Jodi Long as Wendy Yoshimura\n Olivia Barash as Fahizah\n Dana Delany as Gelina\n Marek Johnson as Zoya\n Kitty Swink as Gabi\n Peter Kowanko as Cujo (as Pete Kowanko)\n Tom O'Rourke as Jim Browning\n Scott Kraft as Steven Weed\n Jeff Imada as neighbor\n Ermal Williamson as Randolph A. Hearst\n Elaine Revard as Catherine Hearst\n Destiny Reyes Allstun as Vicky Hearst\n\nProduction\nThe film was written by Nicholas Kazan (son of Oscar-winning director Elia Kazan) drawing narration from Hearst's memoir.\n\nPatty Hearst premiered at the 1988 Cannes Film Festival on May 13 in the feature film competition. The film opened on September 23, 1988, in the US and grossed $601,680 in its opening weekend. It made a total domestic gross of $1,223,326.\n\nReception\nThe film garnered a generally mixed critical response, although Richardson's performance was applauded by most critics. Amongst credited critics, the film has a rating of 45% positive reactions on Rotten Tomatoes, with 11 reviews counted. Vincent Canby of The New York Times wrote that \"Patty Hearst is a beautifully produced movie, seen entirely from Patty's limited point of view. It is stylized at times, utterly direct and both shocking and grimly funny.\" Roger Ebert writing for the Chicago Sun-Times praised Richardson's performance: \"The entire film centers on the remarkable performance by Natasha Richardson as Hearst.\" but concluded that \"This whole story seemed so much more exciting from the outside.\"\n\nPauline Kael called the film \"a lean, impressive piece of work\" and even suggested that it answered the longstanding mystery about Hearst: \"Did Patty Hearst become part of the S.L.A. willingly, out of conviction, or was she simply trying to save her life? The movie shows you that, in the state she was in, there was no difference. Natasha Richardson, who plays Patty, has been handed a big unwritten role; she feels her way into it, and she fills it. We feel how alone and paralyzed Patty is — she retreats to being a hidden observer.

"Sheila Elizabeth Whitton (née Hiller) (October 25, 1922 – November 26, 2017) was a Canadian coder with the Women's Royal Canadian Naval Service, colloquially known as the WRENS, during WWII. She was one of a small group of Canadian coders sent to the UK to prepare for D-Day.\n\nService in WWII \n\nSheila Hiller graduated from Havergal College, Toronto, and joined the navy in 1943. She was first assigned to Halifax, where she began her coder training. Coders were first trained with books: “Great heavy coding books, which would have 4 letter insignia for a word.” In April 1944, Sheila was transferred to London with five other WRENS. In London they worked with civilian coders progressing from books to “coding machines.”\n\nIn her words:\n\"We didn’t know at the time about those coding machines. it really was the size and shape of a fairly large typewriter, but they had cylinders. You had a set up each day for how to start each one, how you placed them in your machine. That code would change every day, so you’d have to make sure you would be able to break the message for the day\"\n\nThe women worked in 3 shifts to cover the 24 hours of the day. She remained working as a coder in England until the end of the war. According to the CFB Esquimalt Naval & Military Museum, \"Just one year after the WRCNS was established, the Wrens were already earning high praise\" including from Vice Admiral Percy W. Nelles, Chief of Naval Staff, who stated,\n\"I wish to thank the patriotic women who have entered their country’s service and have added so capably to the combat strength of the navy by helping to man the shore establishments in this country. In one short year you have proved yourselves of immeasurable value to the naval service by taking over many tasks with skill, diligence and cheerfulness. As Chief of Naval Staff, I am proud of your record and the contribution you are making to the final victory.\"\n\nAfter WWII \nOn her return to Canada she attended The University of Toronto and became a social worker. She served on the national board of the Canadian Save the Children Fund, and was chair in the mid-1960s. In the 1980s, she taught part-time at Sheridan College, Oakville.\n\nPersonal life \nSheila's longtime boyfriend Robert (\"Bob\") Fleming, an officer in The Queens Own Rifles was already in the U.K. Just after she arrived in London, April 1944, and having been apart for 2 years, they decided to marry. Sheila received permission to travel to Bob's location, where they were married by his regiment's Padre. Up until D-Day the newlywed couple were able to write to each other but then mail was stopped. The last letter Sheila received from Bob was from Normandy after he had been killed in action. After VE Day (Victory in Europe Day, May 8th, 1945) Sheila journeyed to France to visit the Canadian Cemetery at Bény-sur-mer, Normandy.\n\nIn 1950 she married fellow Canadian John Whitton.

"Admission is a 2013 American romantic comedy-drama film directed by Paul Weitz and starring Tina Fey and Paul Rudd. The film was released in the United States and Canada on March 22, 2013. It is an adaptation of Jean Hanff Korelitz's 2009 novel of the same name.\n\nPlot\nStraight-laced Princeton University Admissions Officer Portia Nathan is caught off guard while making a recruiting visit to an alternative high school overseen by a former college classmate, the free-wheeling John Pressman. With vast experience in the coaching, consoling, and criticism involving Princeton's admission, she pays a visit to the Quest School, where John teaches while raising an adopted son. After exposing Portia to outspoken Quest students' impressions of college, he takes her to meet the rather unconventional Jeremiah Balakian, a child prodigy.\n\nBack on campus, Portia's longtime boyfriend Mark breaks up with her after impregnating a \"Virginia Woolf scholar\" named Helen. After an awkward romantic attraction to Pressman, she arranges for Jeremiah to visit Princeton, where she and a colleague, Corinne, are rivals to succeed the soon-to-retire Dean of Admissions.\n\nPortia long ago had a secret pregnancy, putting the baby up for adoption, and is shown apparent proof by Pressman that Jeremiah is hers. Although he is brilliant, Jeremiah's miserable transcript results in his being deemed unfit to attend the University. Portia, in an act that greatly endangers her position, schemes to gain Jeremiah entrance into the school, knowing that Princeton cannot reveal such a scandal.\n\nHer resignation is demanded. Later, when revealing to Jeremiah that she is his biological mother, she finds out that there was a photocopy mistake on his birth certificate and that the boy has already located his actual biological mother. Portia appears at the Adoption Agency, trying to locate her son, where she describes her life with a different perspective. When asked how would she feel to meet her actual child, she replies that she would feel \"nervous, but lucky.\"\n\nIn the end, now dating Pressman, she receives a letter about her son, which says he is not ready to meet her yet. Pressman points out to her that she is on the waitlist \"... and that's not so bad.\"\n\nCast\n Tina Fey as Portia Nathan\n Paul Rudd as John Pressman\n Michael Sheen as Mark\n Lily Tomlin as Susannah\n Wallace Shawn as Clarence\n Nat Wolff as Jeremiah Balakian\n Gloria Reuben as Corinne\n Travaris Spears as Nelson\n Christopher Evan Welch as Brandt\n Sonya Walger as Helen\n Leigha Hancock as Yulia Karasov\n Dan Levy as James\n\nProduction\nThe film was directed by Paul Weitz, known for his work on About a Boy, and was based on the novel of the same name by Jean Hanff Korelitz.

"Antonio Nirta (22 April 1919 – 1 September 2015) was a boss of the 'Ndrangheta, a Mafia-type organization in the Italian region of Calabria. Together with his brothers Giuseppe, Francesco, and Sebastiano, he ruled San Luca, a stronghold of the 'Ndrangheta.\n\nEarly criminal career \nIn 1935, at the age of 16, Nirta was already charged for coercion with the use of arms. In 1953, authorities considered him a danger for public order. By 1967, he was charged with criminal association, extortion, and attempted murder.\n\nIn October 1969, Nirta participated in the infamous Montalto meeting near the Sanctuary of Our Lady of Polsi in the municipality of San Luca. The meeting was interrupted by the police, and was intended to discuss the future operation of the 'Ndrangheta and whether or not the organization would back the Golpe Borghese, a planned right-wing coup attempt by Junio Valerio Borghese, which fizzled out on the night of 8 December 1970. The Court in Locri sentenced Nirta to two years and seven months for criminal association because of his attendance of the meeting.\n\n'Ndrangheta in San Luca\nThe historical pre-eminence of the San Luca family within the 'Ndrangheta is such that every new group or locale must obtain its authorization to operate, and every group belonging to the 'Ndrangheta \"still has to deposit a small percentage of illicit proceeds to the principale of San Luca in recognition of the latter's primordial supremacy\". In the words of a study published in 2005 by Italy's domestic intelligence service, San Luca is \"the cradle of [the 'Ndrangheta] and its epicentre\".\n\nSince the mid-1970s, according to several pentiti, members of the Nirta family from San Luca and the Piromalli family from Gioia Tauro rotated among themselves the position of capo crimine. Nirta and his brothers belonged to the high level of the organization, the maggiore.\n\nMafia mediator \nNirta was known as the diplomat of the clan. He mediated the peace between the Paolo De Stefano and the Antonio Imerti–Pasquale Condello clans in the Second 'Ndrangheta war that raged from 1985–1991 and left some 600 dead. Nirta vouched for the De Stefanos, while Antonio Mammoliti vouched for the Imerti clan. He became a member of Camera di Controllo, a provincial commission of the 'Ndrangheta formed at the end of the war in September 1991, to avoid further internal conflicts. In 1993, the old patriarch Nirta again imposed a peace in the San Luca feud, a war between the two clans Pelle-Vottari-Romeo and Strangio-Nirta from San Luca that had started in 1991. with the help of the De Stefano clan from Reggio Calabria, which held for some time.\n\nOn 8 August 1993, Nirta was arrested in the small town of Benestare.

"Flavio Briatore (; born 12 April 1950) is an Italian businessman. He started his career as a restaurant manager and insurance salesman in Italy. Briatore was convicted in Italy on several fraud charges in the 1980s, receiving two prison sentences, though the convictions were later extinguished by an amnesty. Briatore set up a number of successful Benetton franchises as a fugitive in the Virgin Islands and the United States. In 1990, he was promoted by Luciano Benetton to manage the Benetton Formula One racing team, which became Renault F1 in 2002. From 2007 to 2011, he was part-owner and chairman of London's Queens Park Rangers F.C. In September 2009, Briatore was forced to resign from the ING Renault F1 team due to his involvement in race fixing at the 2008 Singapore Grand Prix. After the Fédération Internationale de l'Automobile (FIA) conducted its own investigation, Briatore was banned indefinitely from any events sanctioned by the FIA, although this ban was later overturned by a French Tribunal de Grande Instance.\n\nEarly life and Benetton career \nBriatore was born in Verzuolo near Cuneo in the Maritime Alps to a family of elementary school teachers. After twice failing public (state) school, he attended a private (independent) school, receiving a diploma with the lowest grades in Land Surveying at Fassino di Busca high school. Briatore found early work as a ski instructor and restaurant manager. He opened a restaurant named Tribüla, which was Briatore's nickname. The restaurant was unsuccessful and had to close due to excessive debt.\n\nIn the 1970s, he moved to Cuneo and became an assistant to businessman Attilio Dutto, owner of the Paramatti Vernici paint company. Dutto was killed on 21 March 1979 in a car bomb attack by an unknown perpetrator.\n\nBriatore moved to Milan and worked for Finanziaria Generale Italia at the Italian stock exchange. During this period, he met Luciano Benetton, founder of the Benetton clothing company.\n\nConvictions and fugitive status \nBriatore was convicted of multiple counts of fraud in the 1980s, receiving two prison sentences. In 1984, a court in Bergamo found him guilty of various counts of fraud and he was fined and sentenced to one year and six months in prison. The sentence was subsequently reduced to one year by a court of appeal in 1988. In 1986, in Milan, Briatore was sentenced to three years for fraud and conspiracy for his role in a team of confidence tricksters who, over a number of years, set up rigged gambling games using fake playing cards. The judges described these as elaborate confidence tricks, in which victims were invited to dinner and then \"ensnared\" in rigged games that involved a cast of fictional characters and realised enormous profits for their perpetrators. After an appeal in 1987, the sentence was reduced to one year and two months. To avoid imprisonment, Briatore lived as a fugitive in Saint Thomas, Virgin Islands. He never went to prison and returned to the EU after both convictions were extinguished by amnesty. In 2010, a Turin court ordered Briatore rehabilitated, which by Italian Criminal Code results in the extinction \"of any criminal effect of the conviction\".\n\nDuring Briatore's fugitive status, he maintained close relations with Benetton and opened some Benetton stores in the Virgin Islands. When Benetton opened his first five stores in the United States in 1979, he appointed Briatore as director of the group's American operations. Thanks to Benetton's methods of franchising, the chain experienced a brief boom in popularity in the US, where, by 1989, there were 800 Benetton stores. Briatore, having taken a cut of each franchising agreement, became very wealthy. As store owners began to complain of competition from other Benetton stores, the number of stores decreased to 200 and Briatore began to look for a new business. In 1999, the Corriere della Sera wrongfully reported that he had been arrested in Nairobi on suspicion of fraud relating to real estate in Kenya, but further to a libel claim brought by Briatore against the newspaper, this allegation proved to be untrue and Briatore was compensated.\n\nFormula One\n\nBenetton Formula\n\nBriatore attended his first Formula One race, the Australian Grand Prix, in , having in the past proclaimed his lack of interest in the sport. Luciano Benetton appointed him commercial director of his Formula One team, Benetton Formula Ltd. (formerly Toleman), and when he fired the team management shortly thereafter, Briatore was promoted to managing director and set about turning Benetton into a competitive team.\n\nHe hired and quickly fired engineer John Barnard and lured young driver Michael Schumacher from the Jordan team after his first F1 race in . The Times observed that Briatore knew Schumacher could be the best and built a team around him at Benetton Schumacher went on to win at Spa in and again at Estoril in before claiming the World Drivers' Championship in and . The Benetton team won the World Constructors' Championship in 1995.\n\nIn 1994 Briatore rejected Umberto Agnelli's proposal to move to Ferrari.\n\nDuring the season, Briatore's Benetton team came under allegations of cheating, resulting in fines and a two-race ban for Schumacher.\n\nLate in , Briatore purchased the ailing Ligier team thereby acquiring its Renault engine supply. He passed operational management of Ligier to Tom Walkinshaw and took on complete management of Benetton. When Schumacher and a number of key technical staffers departed for Ferrari in , the Benetton team slipped to the middle of the grid.\n\nBriatore purchased a share of the Minardi team in , but after failing to sell it to British American Tobacco as he had hoped, he sold out to fellow owners Giancarlo Minardi and Gabriele Rumi. In , Benetton replaced Briatore with David Richards.\n\nFrom to , he led the company Supertec, supplying Mecachrome-built Renault engines to Williams and BAR in 1999, Arrows in 2000, and under the brand name \"Playlife\" for Benetton in both 1999 and 2000.\n\nRenault F1\n\nIn 2000, Renault announced its plans to return to Formula One with the purchase of the Benetton Formula team. Briatore returned as managing director and team principal, replacing Rocco Benetton. The team raced as Benetton-Renault in 2001 before becoming Renault F1 in 2002.\n\nBriatore has a reputation as a talent-scout and probably his greatest 'find' has been Fernando Alonso. Briatore met with the teenage Spaniard in 1999. As his manager, Briatore secured him a race drive with Minardi in 2001 and promoted him to test-driver for Renault in 2002.\n\nIn 2003, Briatore fired race-driver Jenson Button and replaced him with Alonso. When he replaced Button the outcry was huge but Briatore stated, \"time will tell if I am wrong\".\n\nWith Alonso, Renault won both the driver's and constructor's championships in 2005 and 2006. However, Alonso turned his back on Briatore to sign for rivals McLaren for 2007.\n\nBriatore also acted as manager for Mark Webber, Jarno Trulli, Nelson Piquet Jr. and Heikki Kovalainen. Despite winning the 2004 Monaco Grand Prix, Trulli was dropped from Renault by Briatore and replaced by Giancarlo Fisichella.\n\nIn April 2006, Renault F1's new president Alain Dassas stated that having a contract with Briatore for 2007 was 'a key factor' in securing the company's commitment to the sport, \"and we will do everything to ensure Flavio stays\". Briatore was duly confirmed on 6 September 2006 as staying at Renault for the 2007 and 2008 seasons.\n\nBriatore replaced Alonso with Kovalainen for 2007, saying \"with Kovalainen, I hope to find the anti-Alonso\".\n\nAllegations were made during November 2007 by the FIA against the Renault F1 team regarding information they were found to have in their possession concerning the 2006 and 2007 McLaren F1 cars. These allegations were the subject of an FIA investigation, with an FIA hearing taking place on 6 December 2007. Renault were found guilty of breaching the same regulation as McLaren (see F1 espionage scandal), but were not punished. Despite this guilty verdict, Briatore hit back at McLaren's Ron Dennis, saying \"here is a team that acquired an advantage illegally. Just read the regulations: for intellectual property theft the punishment is exclusion... Ron Dennis… was the one who protested us on the mass damper. He is not the immaculate saint he pretends to be on his statements\".\n\nIn August 2009, Briatore was heavily criticised by Nelson Piquet Jr., the son of three-time F1 champion Nelson Piquet, after Piquet Jr. was removed from the Renault team. On his personal website, Piquet Jr. called Briatore his \"executioner\". In an interview with Autosport magazine, Piquet Jr. said that Briatore \"is ignorant about Formula 1\". Piquet Jr. criticised Briatore for his ego and for his poor sense of race tactics.\n\nDeparture\n\nBriatore resigned as team principal of Renault due to a race fixing scandal. The controversy centred on an early crash involving Nelson Piquet Jr.'s car during the 2008 Singapore Grand Prix of 28 September 2008, when he was still driving for Renault. At the time, Piquet Jr. described the crash as a simple mistake; however, shortly after his acrimonious departure from Renault and criticism of Briatore nearly a year later in August 2009, allegations surfaced that he had deliberately crashed to help Renault teammate Fernando Alonso, who went on to win the race. After a Fédération Internationale de l'Automobile (FIA) investigation, on 4 September 2009 Renault were charged with conspiracy and race fixing, and were due to face the FIA World Motor Sport Council in Paris on 21 September 2009. In return for immunity from punishment, Piquet Jr. had reportedly stated to the FIA that he had been asked to crash by Briatore and Renault chief engineer Pat Symonds. On 11 September, following leaks of Piquet Jr.'s evidence, Renault and Briatore stated they would take legal action against Piquet Jr. for making false allegations. However, five days later, Renault announced they would not contest the charges and that Briatore and Symonds had left the team. The day after the Renault announcement, Renault confirmed Briatore had resigned from the team, while Briatore himself stated of his departure that \"I was just trying to save the team\", \"It's my duty. That's the reason I've finished.\" The team issued the following official statement:\n\nAt the same hearing, the FIA banned Briatore from FIA-sanctioned events indefinitely. The FIA also stated that it would not renew any superlicence granted to Briatore-managed drivers, effectively barring him from managing drivers who participate in any competition that is under the FIA's authority. The FIA stated that it was coming down hard on Briatore because he denied his involvement despite overwhelming evidence and that Renault's actions were serious enough to merit being thrown out of F1. However, since Renault took swift action by forcing Briatore and Symonds to resign once the affair came to light, the FIA effectively placed the team on two years' probation. If Renault committed a comparable offence between 2009 and 2011, it was to be indefinitely banned from F1. British newspaper The Daily Mirror described the ban as the harshest sanction ever imposed on an individual in the history of motorsport.\n\nBriatore later said he was \"distraught\" at the FIA's action and sued the FIA in French courts to clear his name. On 5 January 2010, the Tribunal de Grande Instance overturned the ban and granted him €15,000 in compensation. The tribunal declared in particular that \"the decision of the World Council was presided over by the FIA president, who was well known to be in conflict with Briatore, with Mr Mosley having played a leading role in launching the inquiry and its investigation in violation of the principle of separation of the power of the bodies\". The FIA announced that it would appeal the decision issued by the French court, but the two parties reached an out-of-court settlement the following April.\n\nIn an interview with Gazzetta dello Sport, Briatore said that he is sure that he will not return to Formula One, despite having his ban overturned.\n\nStance on the future of F1\nBriatore has always spoken out about his desires to see F1 provide better entertainment. In 1994, he said: \"All the team owners are orientated towards the technical side rather than the entertainment side, and this is a big fault. Every meeting that I go to, people are talking about pistons and suspensions. Nobody goes to a race to see that kind of thing… People come to see Schumacher and Senna racing each other.\"\n\nTwelve years later his feelings were much the same: \"The people in charge should be businessmen, as they are in Hollywood, not ex-engineers. Nothing costs more, and delivers less entertainment, than hidden technology. And that’s what engineers love most of all.\"\n\nIn 2007, he even went so far as to suggest that Grands Prix be split into two separate races as in the GP2 series.\n\nOn 20 March 2014 he said it was wrong to let the car manufacturers succeed in their push for the all-new regulations, featuring 'greener' engines that use less fuel. \"They delegated the writing of rules to engineers who do not care about the fans or entertainment, If Formula One does not change again in the near future, then the audience will be lost. Look at the comments on the internet, in blogs, on Twitter – they did not like the Australian Grand Prix. It was an indecipherable and depressing show. This is unacceptable and now we have chaos\" said Briatore.\n\nOn 12 June 2014 he said: \"I do not like this new Formula One. It's not our Formula 1.\" \"He pointed a finger at cars that \"do not make a noise\", drivers having to \"save fuel\" and \"fake overtaking\". He added: \"It is no longer a sport of gladiators, it is a sport of accountants.\"\n\nBusiness interests\nBriatore has developed a diverse portfolio of business interests outside Formula 1, many of which revolve around fashion.\n\nHe created the brand in 1998 and owns a club in Sardinia; in August 2012, he opened another Billionaire club in Marbella under that name along with an haute couture line, Billionaire Italian Couture. In addition to that, he opened Cipriani's restaurant in Mayfair, London, in 2004 and until 2007 owned 48.9% of the pharmaceuticals company . He also operates a Tuscan beach club and Lion in the Sun, a holiday resort in Kenya.\n\nBriatore is a beneficiary of Autumn Sailing Ltd, which purchased the super yacht Force Blue from Home Shopping Network investor Roy Speer for £68.2m. She was given a refitted interior designed by Celeste dell'Anna and a blue exterior. The yacht was then chartered by a number of individuals including Briatore, who named it as the most extravagant present he had ever bought himself. In 2010, the yacht was seized by officers investigating a tax fraud over its charter status and VAT on fuel. The Italian Supreme Court ruled that there were no issues with the seizure, though the yacht itself was released\n\nQueens Park Rangers Football Club\nIn 2007 Briatore was linked to a takeover of English Championship football club Queens Park Rangers (QPR) from a Monaco-based consortium led by Gianni Paladini. On 1 September 2007 it was officially announced that Briatore (along with Bernie Ecclestone and Lakshmi Mittal) had bought the club. On 7 November 2007, Briatore completed his takeover of QPR together with Ecclestone. He served as the club's chairman.\n\nIn December 2007, Briatore and Ecclestone were joined as co-owners of QPR by multi-billionaire Lakshmi Mittal, who bought 20% of the club.\n\nFollowing Briatore's ban from FIA, the Football League requested that FIA provide details of its investigation. The Football League could force Briatore out of QPR under rules that stipulate a club owner must be a \"fit and proper person\". The Football League also has the power to ban owners who have been banned from another sporting organisation. The Football League board discussed the matter on 8 October 2009 and declared that they would be awaiting a response from Briatore to various questions before commenting further. It was announced that he had stepped down from the post effective 19 February 2010.\n\nWhen interviewed about the QPR experience at an Italian chat show he stated \"I will never invest in a Football Club again, it's only ever a good idea if you're very rich and looking for ways to waste your money. In two years you'll be very poor and won't have that problem anymore\"\n\nPersonal life \nIn 1998, he became engaged to supermodel Naomi Campbell; they were involved in an on-again-off-again relationship until their separation in 2003. Campbell now considers Briatore her \"mentor\".\n\nIn March 2003, Briatore began dating supermodel Heidi Klum. In December she announced her pregnancy. Soon after, the two split and Klum began dating the musician Seal. Klum gave birth to Leni Klum in May 2004 in New York City. According to Klum, Briatore is not involved in Leni's life; she has stated emphatically that \"Seal is Leni's father\". In 2009, Briatore allowed Seal to adopt his daughter and change her name.\n\nBriatore married the 'Wonderbra' model Elisabetta Gregoraci on 14 June 2008. Gregoraci gave birth to their son in Nice, France in 2010.\n\nIn 2019 Briatore founded the political party Movimento del Fare.\n\nOn 25 August 2020, Briatore was hospitalized after testing positive for COVID-19.\n\nSee also\n The Apprentice (Italian TV series)\n\nReferences\n\nExternal links \n\n \n\n1950 births\nLiving people\nFormula One team owners\nFormula One team principals\nPeople from Verzuolo\nQueens Park Rangers F.C. directors and chairmen\nRenault people\nItalian fraudsters\nFugitives wanted on fraud charges\nItalian expatriates in the United Kingdom\nItalian emigrants to the United Kingdom\nItalian sports agents\nItalian motorsport people\nMotorsport agents\nBenetton Formula\nPeople named in the Pandora Papers",

"Giovanni Tegano (; 8 November 1939 – 7 July 2021) was an Italian criminal and a member of the 'Ndrangheta, the Calabrian mafia. He was a fugitive since 1993 and was included in the list of most wanted fugitives in Italy, until his arrest in April 2010. He was convicted and sentenced to life imprisonment for murder, arms trafficking, and mafia association.\n\nHe was considered to be the boss of the De Stefano-Tegano 'ndrina. The clan hails from the Archi neighbourhood in the city of Reggio Calabria, and also includes his brothers Pasquale and Giuseppe. At the time of his arrest in April 2010, Tegano was regarded as one of the few remaining bosses of the 'Ndrangheta's old guard.\n\nSecond 'Ndrangheta war\n\nThe Tegano clan sided with the De Stefano clan in the Second 'Ndrangheta war, which raged from 1985 to 1991. The alliance was sealed by the marriage between Orazio De Stefano and Antonietta Benestare, a niece of Giovanni Tegano on 2 December 1985. The bloody six-year war between the Condello-Imerti clan and De Stefano allied with the Tegano clan caused 621 deaths.\n\nWhile the main leaders of the De Stefano clan were killed, it fell upon the Teganos to wage the war. The Teganos were the key negotiators for the 'pax mafiosa' in Reggio Calabria in the 1990s between the Tegano, De Stefano, Libri, and Latella clans on one side and the Imerti, Serraino, Condello and Rosmini clans on the other, in which they divided their spheres of influence in Reggio Calabria. He became a member of Camera di Controllo, a provincial commission of the 'Ndrangheta, formed at the end of the war in September 1991 to avoid further internal conflicts.\n\nFugitive, arrest and death\nHe became a fugitive in 1993. His brother Pasquale Tegano, wanted since 1994, was arrested on 6 August 2004. At that time, differences between the Tegano clan and the De Stefanos emerged over the division of extortion rackets. The Teganos secured the neutrality of their old enemy Pasquale Condello.\n\nAfter being on the run for 17 years, he was arrested in Reggio Calabria on 26 April 2010. Tegano did not resist arrest, though he had a loaded gun with him. The next day, a group of friends, relatives and supporters applauded when he left the Reggio Calabria court house on his way to jail. \"Giovanni is a man of peace!\" one woman shouted. The Italian Minister of the Interior, Roberto Maroni, commented that \"his capture is the hardest blow that we could inflict today to the 'Ndrangheta as he was the number one Calabrian fugitive.\" \"Given his role, seniority and the importance of events he knew, he had risen to the ranks of one of the 'Ndrangheta's most important figures,\" according to a top police official, Renato Cortese. \n\nGiovanni Tegano died on 7 July 2021 in the prison of Opera, Lombardy, at the age of 81. Until his death, Tegano was detained under the 41 bis regime because he was still considered the leader of the powerful De Stefano-Tegano 'ndrina.\n\nReferences\n\n Gratteri, Nicola & Antonio Nicaso (2006).

"Renato Vallanzasca Costantini (; born 4 May 1950) is a notorious Italian mobster from Milan who was a powerful figure in the Milanese underworld during the 1970s.\n\nFollowing numerous robberies, kidnappings, murders, and many years as a fugitive, he is currently serving four consecutive life sentences with an additional 295 years in prison, but with permission to work outside during the day. This enables him to go to work every morning in a workshop in the periphery of Milan, making bags from recycled material. He is a local celebrity in Milan, famous for appealing to part of public opinion for his image linked to the \"myth of the bandit\".\n\nBiography\n\nEarly life \nVallanzasca was born in Milan, in the Lambrate district where his mother owned a clothing store. He was given the surname of his mother because his biological father, Osvaldo Pistoia, was already married to another woman by whom he had three children.\n\nVallanzasca became involved in vandalism and petty criminal activities early in his childhood. His first arrest occurred at the age of eight for having tried to let a tiger out of its cage, which belonged to a circus that had tented near his house. He was apprehended the following day and taken to Cesare Beccaria detention home. Because of this act, he was legally compelled to move into an aunt's house, in via degli Apuli, in the district of Giambellino, in the southern periphery of Milan, practically on the opposite side of the city.\n\nBanda della Comasina \nIt was during this time that he formed his own gang of children involved in stealing and shoplifting. In spite of his young age, Vallanzasca was already a gang leader and began to make a name for himself in the ligera, the old Milanese underworld, with whose members he quickly began to cooperate. But shortly thereafter, resenting the rules and the \"code\" of the old criminal underworld, he decided to form his own criminal outfit called the Banda della Comasina, which soon grew to become the most powerful and ferocious gang in Milan during those years. The Banda della Comasina was a strong rival and enemy to the gang which was headed by Francis Turatello.\n\nWithin a short period, Vallanzasca accumulated a lot of money due to the numerous robberies and thefts carried out by his gang, and began to live an extravagant lifestyle: he took to wearing expensive designer clothes, driving luxury cars and would usually be seen in the company of beautiful women. His looks earned him the nickname \"Il bel Renè\" (the handsome/pretty Renè), a nickname he detested.\n\nFirst arrest and escape \nHis smooth and successful criminal career was interrupted for the first time in 1972 when, 10 days after the robbery of a supermarket, he was arrested by men belonging to the squadra mobile (flying squad) headed by Achille Serra. Serra later claimed that during the search of his house, Vallanzasca unstrung his gold Rolex wristwatch and put it on a table, telling him, \"If you succeed in tying this to me, it is yours\". A few minutes later, warrant officer Oscuri found some shreds of paper in the dustbin, which, once put together, showed a list of salaries of the employees in the supermarket previously robbed. In 1973, his girlfriend Ripalta Pioggia gave birth to their son, Massimiliano Domenico.\n\nAs a result, Vallanzasca was convicted and sent to the San Vittore penitentiary. During the four and a half years of imprisonment, he unsuccessfully attempted to escape from the prison more than once. He was also involved in numerous fights and beatings, and was also an active participant in the various prison riots which erupted in the local prison environment during this period. These factors caused him to be transferred to 36 different prisons within a four-and-a-half-year period. Eventually, he found a way of escaping by voluntarily contracting Hepatitis. He did this by ingesting rotten eggs, injecting urine intravenously into his bloodstream and inhaling propane gas. He was then transferred to the hospital, where he managed to escape with the help of a complacent policeman.\n\nLife as a fugitive \nAfter his escape, on 25 July 1976, Vallanzasca was free again. He still wanted money in the shortest time because he wanted to spend time with his girlfriend Ripalta and his son, Massimiliano; he spent about a month with them between Sorrento and Cilento before returning to hiding in Milan.\n\nAfter leaving his son and girlfriend, Vallanzasca reassembled his old gang and began a series of new robberies, which totalled seventy. These robberies caused several deaths, including those of four policemen, a doctor and a bank employee. He also committed four kidnappings for ransom, two of which were never reported to the police. One of the gang's victims was Emanuela Trapani, the daughter of a local Milanese entrepreneur who was held captive for over a month and a half, from December 1976 to January 1977, and then released upon the payment of a ransom of one billion in Italian currency. This incident coupled with the killing on 6 February 1977 of two highway patrolmen near Dalmine, Luigi D'Andrea and Renato Barborini, who had stopped the car on which he was travelling to evade capture, caused him to flee Milan for Rome. There he was again recaptured, on 15 February 1977 while still just 26 years old.\n\nReturn to prison \n\nAfter his return to prison, in 1979 Vallanzasca married his new girlfriend, Giuliana Brusa. His former enemy, Milanese crime boss Francis Turatello acted as best man, thus sealing a temporary alliance between the two. On 17 August 1981, Turatello was eventually assassinated at the Badu 'e Carros, the high-security prison in Nuoro, Sardinia, by a Neapolitan Camorrista Pasquale Barra, along with Vincenzo Andraus and Antonino Faro, two Sicilian Mafiosi from Catania, Sicily. The hit had probably been ordered by Raffaele Cutolo, the boss of the Nuova Camorra Organizzata.\n\nOn 28 April 1980, Vallanzasca again attempted to escape from the San Vittore Prison in Milan. During time in the open air, a group of prisoners mysteriously produced three guns, and managed to make headway taking a brigadiere (a prison guard staff sergeant), Romano Saccoccio, as hostage. A firefight commenced in the streets of Milan and followed in the tunnels. A wounded Vallanzasca was arrested together with nine other escapees.\n\nThe Novara prison riot \nIn the Novara prison, in 1981, he helped to set in motion a prison revolt in which some pentiti, or collaborators with Italian Justice lost their lives. Among them was a former member of his gang, Massimo Loi. According to Achille Serra, the young man who was in his early twenties had decided to abandon the path of crime and begin a new life in the legitimate world. However, Vallanzasca armed with a knife and supported by the prison crowd would not allow him to leave the prison unharmed. Loi was cornered inside his prison cell, alone and unarmed. Assisted by others, Vallanzasca repeatedly stabbed him in the chest with a knife, committing further atrocities on his mutilated corpse, and finally beheading him. In an interview with L'Espresso on 2 April 2006, Vallanzasca vehemently denied any responsibility for the murder of Loi.\n\nHowever, it is certain that Vallanzasca participated in the revolt at the Novara prison, during which two people were killed, one of which was Massimo Loi. It seems that Vallanzasca, in reality, was distanced from the gruesome episode, because there were others involved, as also they attest to the confessions of those days and dynamics of the revolt.\n\nIn interviews on the DVD of the Film Angels of Evil, the actor who plays Vallanzasca related how he and Vallanzasca met and he admitted to the killing of Loi. He explained that he had denied it because the young man's mother was still alive but that once she had died he felt he could own up to the murder.\n\nMore escape attempts \n\nSentenced to a harsh prison term, Vallanzasca succeeded in tricking the police officers and managed to escape on 18 July 1987 through a porthole of the ferry which carried him to Asinara, Sardinia. He was stopped at a traffic control post less than three weeks after, while he was trying to reach Trieste. After returning to prison, Vallanzasca again tried escaping from prison in 1995, this time from the Nuoro prison. In this escape attempt, he was accused and suspected of having been aided by his lawyer, with whom he had close links. His father, Osvaldo Pistoia, died on 10 January the following year, aged 95.\n\nPresent life \n\nSince 1999, Vallanzasca has been incarcerated in a maximum security prison in the town of Voghera. After his arrest, Vallanzasca designated his godson George Samniashvili as a ringleader of his gang. George nowadays lives in Georgia and leads his band from Tbilisi. He visits Vallanzasca frequently in prison to get his advice. Now it seems George Samniashvili (FERRE) was the only person Renato could have faith in. At the beginning of May 2005, after having received a special three-hour permit to meet his elderly mother, he formalized a request for clemency by sending a letter to the Ministry of Justice, and to the magistrate of surveillance of Pavia. On 15 July 2007, his mother wrote to the Italian president Giorgio Napolitano and the minister of Justice, Clemente Mastella, requesting clemency for her son. On 15 September 2007, Vallanzasca was notified by the Presidency of the Republic that all requests for clemency had been refused. He then continued serving his sentence at the Opera prison in Milan.\n\nIn May 2008, he married his childhood friend, Antonella D'Agostino. The marriage was formalised with a civil ceremony on 5 May 2008.\n\nBeginning in March 2010, Vallanzasca was given a permit to exit prison in the daytime to participate in work activities. He leaves his cell every day at 7:30 and returns at 19:00. His mother died on 8 February 2011, aged 94.\n\nOn 13 June 2014, during the semi-courtship granted by the prison of Bollate, he attempted to unpack and steal underwear and gardening material at a supermarket in Milan and was arrested by the carabinieri for the crime of aggravated improper robbery. The following day, 14 June, he was sentenced to 10 months in jail plus a 330 euro fine. With this new conviction Vallanzasca risks the loss of the benefits during detention. In his \"criminal career\" he collected in total four life sentences and 295 years of imprisonment.\n\nIn popular culture \n In 1977, a film was released entitled La Banda Vallanzasca which was directed by Mario Bianchi. The plot however has nothing to do with Vallanzasca.\n In 2005, Vallanzasca was portrayed in a theatre play which was based on his life entitled \"Settanta Vallanzasca\" by Domenico Ferrari and Alessandro Pozzetti.\n The beautiful René inspired the name of an Italian Ska group, Vallanzaska.\n In 2007, the life story of Renato Vallanzasca was told for the first time on television in a documentary realized for the TV show \"La Storia siamo noi\" (History is us) at Rai Edu.\n The film Vallanzasca - Gli angeli del male was released in 2010, directed by Michele Placido. In the role of Vallanzasca is Kim Rossi Stuart.\n\nFootnotes\n\nReferences \nIl fiore del male: bandito a Milano, Carlo Bonini and Renato Vallanzasca, ed. Marco Tropea, 2009, \nEtica criminale.

He is based in Rosarno and heads the Pesce 'ndrina.\n\nThe son of Francesco Pesce, a historical boss of the clan, he heads the family with his brothers Antonio, Giuseppe, Rocco and Salvatore Pesce. When he was released from prison in 2008, he took over the command over the clan, despite opposition by his nephew Francesco Pesce, known as \"Cicciu testuni\" and the son of the boss Antonino Pesce who is in jail since 1993.\n\nHe was an important power behind the decision to appoint Domenico Oppedisano as capo crimine – the ceremonial head of the 'Ndrangheta – in August 2009. The election of Oppedisano had not been easy. Giuseppe Pelle aspired to replace his ailing father Antonio Gambazza Pelle as capo crimine and keep the title in San Luca at the risk of triggering a conflict between clans. However, Vincenzo Pesce felt that the nomination of Pelle would distort the equilibrium in the 'Ndrangheta and threatened to form a separate organization taking some 30 locali – local 'Ndrangheta organisations – with him. As a result, Oppedisano became the capo crimine instead of Pelle.\n\nOn April 28, 2010, the clan was hit in a police operation, known as Operation All Inside, that led to the arrest of 30 people accused of Mafia association including Vincenzo Pesce.

"Francesco Schiavone (; born 3 March 1954) is a member of the Camorra, the Caserta organized crime syndicate, and the head of the Casalesi clan from Casal di Principe in the province of Caserta. He has been dubbed Sandokan after a popular 1970s television series starring Kabir Bedi because of his thick, dark beard.\n\nEarly career\nHe started his criminal career as a driver and bodyguard of Umberto Ammaturo. His first arrest was in 1972 for illegal possession of firearms. Schiavone was involved in several bloody clan wars of the Camorra in which dozens of people were killed in the Naples area in the past decades. He sided with Antonio Bardellino, the founder of the Casalesi clan and prominent leader of the Nuova Famiglia, and Mario Iovine against the Nuova Camorra Organizzata (NCO) of Raffaele Cutolo. When the NCO was defeated, an internal feud broke out between Bardellino and Iovine. Schiavone, together with Francesco Bidognetti and Vincenzo Di Falco sided with Iovine.\n\nA new feud broke out between the Di Falco clan and Iovine-Schiavone. In December 1990, De Falco allegedly betrayed them making a tip-off to police against Schiavone and Francesco Bidognetti and the latters ordered Vincenzo Di Falco's killing on February 2, 1991 in Casal di Principe. In retaliation his brother Nunzio Di Falco killed Mario Iovine on March 6, 1991, in Portugal. While in custody the Di Falco clan was defeated. As the old bosses, such as Bardellino and Iovine, and potential younger leaders like Bidognetti and De Falco disappeared, he became the boss of the clan in the 1990s, being the strongest and most cunning of his generation.\n\nFugitive and arrest\nIn 1993, after completing a 3-year prison sentence, Schiavone disappeared before judges could put him under surveillance. The Schiavone-Bidognetti clan now firmly led the Casalesi clan. After more than five years on the run, he was arrested on 11 July 1998, in his hideout – a secret apartment behind a sliding wall of granite in his Naples villa, equipped with high tech tools. At the time he was considered to be the Camorra’s \"number one\" fugitive.\n\nHe had been living there with his wife and seven children. Schiavone had already been arrested on at least two prior occasions, but each time he was able to avoid a lengthy sentence on legal technicalities. The mayor of Naples, Antonio Bassolino, praised the local police, and said, \"the head of one of the most dangerous criminal clans in southern Italy has been arrested.\" He compared the arrest to that of Sicilian Mafia chief Salvatore Riina in 1993.\n\nPolice informers describe him as a charismatic figure with an entrepreneurial mind, not keen on violent action that only creates problems and police attention, instead of business. In his hide out, police found a library dedicated to his idol Napoleon. While on the run, he fathered three of his six children.\n\nImmense wealth\nThe Casalesi clan gathered immense wealth with skimming of public contracts for the construction of the A1 highway Rome-Naples and the prison in Santa Maria Capua Vetere. Ironically, many of its members ended up in that same prison. They also were active in waste management from the north of Italy in Caserta, and the distribution racket of dairy products by Parmalat and Cirio. Profits were invested in real estate in Parma and Milan.\n\nAccording to author Roberto Saviano, raised in Casal di Principe, the Schiavone family is immensely rich: \"In two legal proceedings against the Schiavone family in August 1996, authorities confiscated 450 billion lire; a year later, they seized another 515 billion. That adds up to US$788 million … from just one of the many families that make up the Casalesi, an amount that would bring any business to its knees. But the Schiavone family and the Casalesi continue to prosper. All told, they are estimated to be worth about US$47 billion.\" The patrimony is managed by his wife Giuseppina Nappa and his brother Walter.\n\nLife sentence\nHe was finally sentenced to life on 19 June 2008, after a 10-year trial, named the Spartacus Trial, against 36 members of the Casalesi clan charged with a string of murders and other crimes. Over the course of the first trial and the last appeal, five people involved in the case were murdered, including an interpreter. A judge and two journalists received death threats.\n\nAll defendants were found guilty, and 16 they'll \nbe life imprisoned. Schiavone’s lieutenant, Francesco Bidognetti, known as 'Cicciott' 'e Mezzanotte' (Midnight Frankie), was also given life imprisonment. Michele Zagaria, another Casalesi bosses, got the same sentence but was on the run and was included in the list of most wanted fugitives in Italy, until his arrest on 7 December 2011.\n\nReferences\n\nAllum, Felia Skyle (2000), The Neapolitan Camorra: Crime and politics in post-war Naples (1950-92), Brunel University\n\nExternal links\n , from 'O sistema' (The System), a documentary by Matteo Scanni, Ruben Holiva (2006) on YouTube\n\n1953 births\nLiving people\nPeople from the Province of Caserta\nCamorristi\nCamorristi sentenced to life imprisonment\nCasalesi clan\nItalian prisoners sentenced to life imprisonment",

"Luigi Giuliano (; born November 3, 1949) is a former Italian Camorrista who was the boss of the powerful Giuliano clan based in the district of Forcella, Naples. He had multiple nicknames including \"'o rre\" (the king) and \"Lovigino\", which is an amalgamation of Luigi and love. In 2002, he decided to collaborate with Italian law enforcement and became a pentito, a co-operating witness against organised crime.\n\nEarly life\nGiuliano was born into the family of Pio Vittorio Giuliano, a well-known smuggler. Pio Vittorio Giuliano had 11 children. Six boys, Luigi \"o re or the king\", Guglielmo \"o stuorto or the crooked one\", Nunzio Giuliano, Carmine \"o lione or the lion\" (1952-2004), Salvatore \"o montone or the ram\", Raffaele \"o zui\", Neapolitan slang for being the youngest son. The other four girls, Erminia Giuliano, who was called Celeste, Patrizia, Silvana and Anna. Nunzio dissociated himself from the Camorra and, by extension, his own family in the 1980s, following the drug-related death of his son. In later years, he fought to keep young people away from the Camorra, and was about to publish a book containing numerous interviews and anti-Camorra appeals which were directed towards the people of Campania, before he was killed on March 21, 2005.\n\nAt the age of 14, Giuliano stole a car belonging to an American expatriate together with Giuseppe Misso, the future boss of the Misso clan. His father found a briefcase containing hundreds of US dollars in the car. Pio Vittorio Giuliano was a powerful member of the Giuliano clan, which had traditionally controlled the Forcella, or \"Casbah\" area in the centre of Naples. Luigi Giuliano replaced his father as head of the clan in the mid-1970s.\n\nWar with the NCO\nThe Giuliano clan was on such bad terms with rival mobster Michele Zaza that it launched an attack against his nephew Pasquale in December 1979. The Giuliano clan had been in good terms with the Nuova Camorra Organizzata, headed by Raffaele Cutolo until the first half of 1979, but the two clans then broke out into conflict. Cutolo demanded to receive a cut from the Giulianos' illegal gambling centres and lottery system in his power base of Portici. Following this, the Vollaro clan leader named Luigi Vollaro raised the idea of an anti-Cutolo alliance with Giuliano. A provisional death squad was set up, which contributed to the dozens of gangland deaths that year.\n\nThe breaking point was reached when the NCO tried to move into the Giulianos' stronghold of Forcella, Piazza Mercato and Via Duomo, in the centre of Naples. A few days before Christmas 1980, two NCO members presented themselves at an unloading of contraband cigarettes at Santa Lucia and demanded immediate payment of $400,000 to their organization, as well as insisting on future payment of $25 for every crate of cigarettes brought ashore. They then proceeded to shoot and injure one of the Giuliano gang members unloading the cigarettes. On Christmas Eve, Luigi Giuliano himself was wounded in an attack.\n\nNuova Famiglia\nThe clash, which had occurred in a period of growing tension, led to the formation of the Nuova Famiglia (NF) to oppose Cutolo’s predominant NCO, consisting of Giuliano, Zaza, the Nuvolettas and Antonio Bardellino from Casal Di Principe (the Casalesi clan). After the defeat of Cutolo, the leaders of the NF achieved absolute dominance over all criminal rackets in the city of Naples. Luigi Giuliano relinquished control of the Quartieri Spagnoli (Spanish Quarters) to the Di Biase brothers, Luigi and Mario who ruled the area under the approval of Giuliano. He later became a founding member of the Secondigliano Alliance, a consortium of Camorra clans formed in Naples towards the end of the 1980s.\n\nArrest\nLuigi Giuliano held the reins of his clan undisturbed for nearly thirty years. However, he was arrested in early 2000 and was succeeded by his sister, Erminia, who was ranked as one of Italy's 30 most dangerous criminals, and eventually arrested after being a fugitive for over 10 months. She became the boss because the only direct male heir to the family business still unimprisoned, Giuliano's nephew Pio Vittorio Giuliano, was deemed inept.\n\nIn January 2001, his wife Carmela Marzano was arrested and charged with threatening the widow of Giuseppe Ginosa, a rival Camorrista. She wanted to testify against Giuliano's son-in-law and two associates accused of murdering her husband in 1999. Their daughter, Marianna, was also arrested.\n\nPentito\nIn September 2002, Giuliano decided to collaborate with the Italian authorities and became a government witness. He cited his willingness to change his life as a reason for his collaboration with the authorities. The former boss revealed many secrets and revealed details which opened several branches of investigation, some of which are still ongoing. The information divulged featured corrupt police officers, corrupt judges, rigged auction houses, and complacent courts. He even made several statements against his former ally, Giuseppe Misso, and revealed specific details regarding the murder of the Vatican's banker Roberto Calvi, who was found hanging from scaffolding beneath Blackfriars Bridge in the financial district of London in 1982.\n\nLuigi Giuliano's collaboration with the Italian authorities was preceded by that of his two brothers, Guglielmo and Raffaele. In retaliation for the defection of the three Giuliano brothers, Nunzio Giuliano was killed by the Camorra during an ambush at the Via Tasso in Naples in 2005, followed by Luigi Giuliano's son Giovanni on December 7, 2006. Giovanni had previously refused to join the Witness Protection program.\n\nNotes\n\nReferences\nBehan, Tom (1996).

"Salvatore \"Good Looking Sal\" Vitale (born September 22, 1947) is an American former underboss of the Bonanno crime family before he became a government informant. After his arrest in 2003, Vitale agreed to cooperate with the government and testify against his brother-in-law, boss Joseph Massino, and in July 2004, Massino was convicted in a RICO case. Vitale had admitted to 11 murders, however, in October 2010, was sentenced to time served due to his cooperation, and entered the witness protection program.\n\nEarly life \nVitale was born on September 22, 1947, in Maspeth, Queens in New York City. He was the son of Giuseppe and Lilli Vitale, who had emigrated from the village of San Giuseppe Jato in Sicily after World War II; the couple had already had three daughters, but Salvatore was their only son to survive childbirth. Salvatore was described by his family as emotionally distant as a child.\n\nVitale first met Joseph Massino, future boss of the Bonanno family, as a child. Massino had begun dating Vitale's sister Josephine in 1956, and the couple married in 1960. Massino also befriended Salvatore Vitale, becoming a surrogate \"big brother\" to his future brother-in-law.\n\nUnlike Massino, Vitale graduated from Grover Cleveland High School in Ridgewood, Queens. He also attempted to have a legitimate career; Vitale entered the U.S. Military and had been trained as a paratrooper. Discharged in 1968, he went on to work briefly as a New York State Department of Corrections and Community Supervision corrections officer, working in Queens with drug offenders.\n\nHe and his wife Diana moved to Long Island, a safe distance from mob-entrenched Maspeth to have a better life for themselves. Salvatore managed his own social club in Maspeth not far from Joseph Massino's CasaBlanca Restaurant and Catering Service where he would meet with his underlings. His son Anthony would later work for mob associate Robert Perrino at The New York Post after he dropped out of college.\n\nCriminal career \nWhen he quit that job, Vitale approached Joseph Massino for criminal work. He soon became involved in burglaries and transport truck hijacking. He was given a no-show job as a food consultant for King Caterer's.\n\nMassino began jockeying for power with Dominick \"Sonny Black\" Napolitano, another loyalist capo to the boss Philip Rastelli. Both men were themselves threatened by another faction seeking to depose the absentee boss led by capos Alphonse \"Sonny Red\" Indelicato, Dominick \"Big Trin\" Trincera and Philip Giaccone. The Commission initially tried to maintain neutrality, but in 1981, Massino got word from Carmine \"Tutti\" Franzese (Sonny Franzese's cousin) that the three capos were stocking up on automatic weapons and planning to kill the Rastelli loyalists within the Bonanno family to take complete control. Massino turned to Colombo crime family boss Carmine Persico and Gambino boss Paul Castellano for advice; they told him to act immediately.\n\nMassino, Napolitano and Gerlando Sciascia, a Sicilian-born capo linked to the Montreal Rizzuto crime family, arranged a meeting at a Brooklyn social club with the three capos for May 5, 1981. They had four gunmen, including Vitale and Bonanno-affiliated Montreal boss Vito Rizzuto, hiding in a closet to ambush them. When Trinchera, Giaccone and Indelicato arrived with Frank Lino to meet Massino, they were shot to death, with Massino himself stopping Indelicato from escaping. Lino escaped unscathed by running out the door. The hit further improved Massino's prestige, but was marred by both Lino's escape and the discovery of Indelicato's body on May 28.\n\nOn April 21, 1983, Rastelli was paroled, and he and Massino ordered the murder of Bonanno soldier Cesare Bonventre. Massino summoned Vitale, Louis Attanasio and James Tartaglione to his hideout and gave them the order. By this time, even though Rastelli was still officially head of the family, Massino was considered by most mobsters to be the family's street boss and field commander in all but name, as well as Rastelli's heir apparent. According to Vitale, Massino had Bonventre killed for giving him no support when he was in hiding.\n\nIn April 1984, Bonventre was called to a meeting with Rastelli in Queens. He was picked up by Vitale and Attanasio and driven to a garage. En route, Attanasio shot Bonventre twice in the head but only wounded him; he would kill Bonventre with two more shots when they reached their destination. The task of disposing of Bonventre's corpse was handed to Gabriel Infanti, who promised Vitale that Bonventre's remains would disappear forever. However, after a tipoff, the remains were discovered on April 16, 1984, in a warehouse in Garfield, New Jersey, stuffed into two 55-gallon glue drums. For his part in the hit, Massino had Vitale initiated into the Bonanno family.\n\nLater in 1984, Massino and Salvatore Vitale secured no-show jobs with the Long Island based King Caterers in exchange for protecting them from Lucchese extortion. In 1985, an indictment charged Vitale as a co-conspirator in the hijacking cases alongside Massino.\n\nOn October 15, 1986, Massino was found guilty of racketeering charges for accepting kickbacks on the Bonannos' behalf. On January 16, 1987, Massino was sentenced to 10 years' imprisonment, his first prison term. Rastelli, also convicted and in poor health during the trial, was sentenced to 12 years in prison. Around this time, Massino was believed to be the Bonanno family's official underboss. With Rastelli in declining health, Massino was also reckoned as the operating head of the family, though consigliere Anthony \"Old Man\" Spero was nominally acting boss.\n\nIn April 1987, Massino and Vitale went on trial for truck hijacking and conspiracy to commit the triple murder, defended by Samuel H. Dawson and Bruce Cutler respectively. On June 3, while both men were convicted on hijacking charges, they were cleared of the murder conspiracy charges. Further, the only proven criminal acts took place outside the RICO act's five-year statute of limitations; without evidence that the \"criminal enterprise\" was still active in this timeframe the jury returned a special verdict clearing Massino and Vitale of these charges as well.\n\nDuring Massino's imprisonment, Vitale functioned as his messenger, effectively becoming co-acting boss alongside Spero. On Massino's orders, Vitale organized the murder of Gabriel Infanti, who had also botched a 1982 hit on Anthony Gilberti and was suspected of being an informant. During his meetings with Massino in prison, Vitale, on behalf of the Bonannos' capos, urged his brother-in-law to become boss in name as well as in fact. Rastelli had spent all but two years of his reign behind bars, and many felt Massino would bring the family stability. Massino was reluctant to take over as long as Rastelli was alive. Not only was he respectful of Rastelli's sponsorship of his Mafia career, but Mafia tradition dictates that a boss keeps his title for life unless he abdicates. However, in the spring of 1991, Massino ordered Vitale, \"If Rastelli dies, make me boss.\"\n\nRastelli died on June 24, 1991. A few days after his funeral, in accordance with Massino's orders, Vitale called a meeting of the family's capos, and Massino was acclaimed as boss.\n\nMassino was granted two years' supervised release on November 13, 1992. During that time, he could not associate with convicted mafiosi. To get around this restriction, Massino named Vitale underboss and designated him as his messenger for the duration of his supervised release. While the FBI suspected Vitale was a mafioso, he had never been convicted of a Mafia-related crime. The FBI would thus have no reason to be suspicious of him associating with Massino since they were brothers-in-law. He returned to his job at King Caterers, and in 1996 became co-owner of Casablanca, a well-reviewed Maspeth Italian restaurant.\n\nTo minimize the damage from informants or undercover investigations Massino decentralized the family's organization. He created a clandestine cell system for his crews, forbidding them from contacting one another and avoiding meeting their capos. A side effect of these reforms was the reduction of Vitale, in his own words, to \"a figurehead.\" By the time of Massino's release the Bonanno family had grown tired of Vitale, regarding him as greedy and overstepping his authority. In the new structure of the family, Vitale lost the underboss's usual role as a go-between for the boss, as well as the share of the family's profits those duties entailed, and Massino made it clear to Vitale his unpopularity was a factor in these changes. Vitale remained loyal, however, and helped Massino organize the March 18, 1999, murder of Gerlando Sciascia. Massino indicated to fellow mobsters that Sciascia was killed for feuding with fellow Massino-confidant capo Anthony Graziano, accusing him of using cocaine, while in his own testimony Massino claimed Sciascia was killed for killing another mobster's son. Sciascia's body was not covertly buried but instead left to be discovered in a street in the Bronx, an attempt to make the hit look like a botched drug deal rather than a Mafia-ordered hit, and Massino had his capos attend Sciascia's funeral.\n\nVitale was put under house arrest in 2001 after pleading guilty to his role in an extortion scheme on Long Island. Vitale later also pleaded guilty to loansharking charges in June 2002. Vitale was not immediately sentenced, and was placed under house arrest in the interim. However, the maximum sentence Vitale faced was so low that Massino wrongly suspected his underboss was cooperating with law enforcement. He secretly ordered that, if he was arrested, Vitale was to be \"taken down\"—demoted or killed.\n\nInformant \nUntil 2002, the Bonannos had been the only family in the modern history of the New York Mafia (i. e., since the Castellammarese War) to have never had a made man turn informant or government witness. Massino used this as a point of pride to rally his crime family. That year, Frank Coppa, convicted on fraud and facing further charges from an FBI forensic accounting investigation, became the first to flip. Coppa gave information that directly implicated both Vitale and acting underboss Richard Cantarella in the Perrino murder. Cantarella himself flipped soon afterward. \n\nOn January 9, 2003, Massino was arrested and indicted, alongside Vitale, Frank Lino and capo Daniel Mongelli, in a comprehensive racketeering indictment. On the day of Vitale's arrest, FBI agents dropped a bombshell–they had evidence that Massino believed Vitale had turned informer, and had gone as far as to put a contract on him. \n\nIt turned out that Coppa and Cantarella had told the FBI of Massino's earlier plans to kill his brother-in-law. While in custody, Massino again put out the word that he was \"very upset\" with Vitale and wanted to \"give him a receipt\"–his term for a whacking. Other Bonanno defendants awaiting trial began calling Vitale \"Fredo\" (after Fredo Corleone, Michael Corleone's turncoat brother in The Godfather Part II). The FBI took the threat very seriously, going as far as to house Massino and Vitale in separate prisons (Massino in Brooklyn, Vitale in Manhattan) and keep them apart when they were not appearing in court.\n\nVitale was already dissatisfied by the lack of support he and his family received from Massino after his arrest. Despite this, he had every intention of staying loyal until learning that Massino wanted him killed. On the day he was arraigned with Massino, Vitale decided to flip as soon as it was safe to do so; he formally reached a deal with prosecutors in February. \n\nShortly after Vitale reached his deal, Lino flipped as well. Lino knew that Vitale could implicate him in at least four murders–including that of Sonny Black. Also flipping was longtime Bonanno associate Duane Leisenheimer, whom Vitale implicated in several crimes, including two murders. When an investigator for Massino's defense team started probing to see if Leisenheimer would flip, Leisenheimer feared that Massino would put a contract on him and cut a deal with prosecutors for his own safety.\n\nWhile the prosecution relied heavily on the testimony of five other turncoats, Vitale was of particular significance to the prosecution's case. Not only was he the third confessed underboss of a New York crime family to turn informer (after the Gambinos' Sammy Gravano and the Luccheses' Anthony Casso), but he had spent most of his three decades in the Mafia as a close confidant to Massino. This closeness allowed prosecutors to introduce evidence of over three decades of criminal activity by Massino, and enabled Vitale to cover his brother-in-law's entire criminal history in his testimony. The only witness called by Massino's defense was an FBI agent to challenge Vitale's reliability. \n\nOn the strength of testimony from Vitale and other turncoats, Massino was convicted on all 11 RICO counts on July 30, 2004. Facing the prospect of the death penalty for ordering Sciascia's murder, Massino almost immediately began talks for a plea deal of his own. He formally pleaded guilty to that charge on June 23, 2005, and was sentenced to two consecutive life sentences.\n\nVitale had admitted to 11 murders, but for his cooperation, was sentenced to time served on October 29, 2010, and entered the witness protection program. Vitale's testimony led to the convictions of 51 organized crime figures. Vitale returned to the stand again in March 2012 to testify against Thomas Gioeli.\n\nReferences \n\nCrittle, Simon, The Last Godfather: The Rise and Fall of Joey Massino Berkley (March 7, 2006) \nPistone, Joseph D.; & Woodley, Richard (1999) Donnie Brasco: My Undercover Life in the Mafia, Hodder & Stoughton. .\nPistone, Joseph D.; & Brandt, Charles (2007).

The park was \"heavily\" altered to look run-down. The theme park from the film is based on the Farmingdale, New York amusement park Adventureland where Mottola once worked in the 1980s. The scenes of the family home were filmed in a neighborhood named Fox Ridge located in the town of McCandless, a suburb still within Allegheny County and approximately 12 miles north of the city of Pittsburgh. Other scenes were shot in Beaver County, Pennsylvania, and the airport area of Moon Township such as the Stardust Lounge.\n\nThe story takes place during the summer, but since it was shot in the winter months in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, crews had to often hide snowfall. In some instances, during indoor takes, extras were paid to stand outside surrounding the windows and doors to block the snow falling behind the actors.\n\nRelease \nThe film premiered at the 2009 Sundance Film Festival and was theatrically released on April 3, 2009. The film was also screened at the 2009 Edinburgh International Film Festival.\n\nBox office \n\nIn its first week at the box office, Adventureland opened moderately wide in only 1,862 screens grossing $5.7 million ranking #6 at the box office. Despite opening up in fourteen more screens in its second week Adventureland only took in $3.4 million, falling to #9 at the box office. The film concluded its U.S. domestic run on May 28, 2009 with a gross of $16,044,025 and a total international gross of $17,164,377.\n\nHome media \n\nThe film was released August 25, 2009 on DVD and Blu-ray with unrated bonus features.\n\nReception\n\nCritical response \n\nOn Rotten Tomatoes, the film has an approval rating of 89% based on 218 reviews, with an average rating of 7.30/10. The site's critical consensus reads, \"Full of humor and nostalgia, Adventureland is a sweet, insightful coming-of-age comedy that will resonate with teens and adults alike.\" On Metacritic, the film has a weighted average score of 76 out of 100, based on 34 critics, indicating \"generally favorable reviews\".\n\nRoger Ebert of the Chicago Sun-Times gave the film 3 out of 4 stars and wrote: \"What surprised me was how much I admired Kristen Stewart, who in 'Twilight,' was playing below her grade level. Here is an actress ready to do important things. Together, and with the others, they make 'Adventureland' more real and more touching than it may sound.\"\nVariety's Todd McCarthy wrote: \"A rather ordinary account of youthful summer misadventures that goes down easily thanks to a sparky cast, more than 40 pop tunes that anchor the action in the late '80s and characters who get high both on and off their jobs at a tacky amusement park.\"\n\nAccolades \n\nThe film was nominated for a Gotham Independent Film Award for Best Ensemble Cast, scheduled in New York City on November 30, 2009.\n\nAdventureland was the winner of High Times magazine's 2009 Stoner Movie of the Year Award. Kristen Stewart also received High Times 2009 Stonette of the Year Award, due in part to her performance in the film.\n\nJesse Eisenberg was nominated for Favorite Male Breakthrough Performance at the Teen Choice Awards for his performance in both Adventureland and Zombieland.\n\nSoundtrack \n\nA total of 41 songs were licensed for use in the film. The soundtrack includes 14 songs and was released on April 1, 2009 by Hollywood Records. The songs included are mostly from the 1980s, to fit with the setting of the film, with several tracks from the late 1960s and early 1970s, most notably by The Velvet Underground, Lou Reed, the New York Dolls and cult darlings Big Star. The '80s bands represent a cross section of alternative bands from the time including Hüsker Dü, The Jesus and Mary Chain, Nick Lowe, The Cure, The Replacements, and Crowded House.\n\nThe film maintains a notable reverence for Lou Reed, who is idolized by the main character, featured on T-shirts and posters of other cast members and has likewise elevated the status of the playground mechanic stemming from a rumored jam session with the artist. Earlier versions of the script replaced Lou Reed with singer-songwriter Neil Young as the musician Ryan Reynolds's character had played with, and used Young's songs \"Everybody Knows This Is Nowhere\" and \"Hey Hey, My My (Into The Black)\" in key scenes.\n\nReferences\n\nExternal links \n\n \n \n \n \n \n\n2000s coming-of-age comedy-drama films\n2009 romantic comedy-drama films\n2000s teen comedy-drama films\n2009 films\nAmerican coming-of-age comedy-drama films\nAmerican romantic comedy-drama films\nAmerican teen comedy-drama films\nFilms about virginity\nFilms directed by Greg Mottola\n2009 independent films\nFilms produced by Anne Carey\nFilms produced by Sidney Kimmel\nFilms set in 1987\nFilms set in amusement parks\nFilms set in Pittsburgh\nFilms shot in Pittsburgh\nMiramax films\nSidney Kimmel Entertainment films\n2009 comedy films\n2009 drama films\n2000s English-language films\n2000s American films",

"Prince Vultan is a fictional character in the Flash Gordon comic strip and its adaptations. Vultan is the ruler of the Winged Bird-Men, a race of flying extraterrestrials who dwell in Sky City, a metropolis that floats in the sky. He fits the archetype of the Viking: strong, hearty, and with a great appetite for life, food, drink, and women (particularly Flash's girlfriend, Dale Arden).\n\nIn the comics\nPrince Vultan is introduced as a reluctant ally of main villain Ming the Merciless; he resents Ming's domination but does not oppose it out of fear of reprisal. However, after Flash and Dr. Zarkov save his city, he reforms into one of Flash Gordon's greatest allies. In the original comic, he has several wives, one of whom tries to kill Dale, as she is jealous of her. He claims to have become King of Sky City after winning one of the Tournaments of Mongo. When Ming tries to kidnap Flash, Vultan calls for a Tournament of Mongo. It is revealed that, along with Ming and King Jugrid of the Lion Men, he is one of the three most powerful rulers on Mongo. When Flash takes over the unconquered Kingdom of Caves, Vultan sends a party of Hawkmen under Captain Khan to help Flash conquer his Kingdom. The Hawkmen later come into conflict with Queen Azura and her Blue Magic Men. The image of the Hawkmen descending to attack Azura's army (from the June 16, 1935 storyline) is one of the most reproduced scenes from the Flash Gordon strip.\n\nVultan and the other Hawkmen provoked some controversy at the time of publication. Some Christian leaders regarded the characters as blasphemous because they resembled angels.\n\nIn other media\nIn the 1936 film serial, he was portrayed by Jack Lipson (1901-1947).\n\nAllan Melvin provided Vultan's voice in the 1979 Filmation animated series. He is referred to here as King Vultan, not Prince. His Sky City is a marvel of Mongo technology, as the massive construct is suspended miles above ground by beams of polarized anti-gravity light. Unlike Prince Barin's kingdom of Arboria, Vultan's Hawkmen do not make use of airships in battle. Instead, they fly under their own power or ride giant warbirds armed with harness-mounted energy cannons.\n\nHe was portrayed by Brian Blessed in the cult 1980 film Flash Gordon. For the film's soundtrack by the rock group Queen, Freddie Mercury composed a song called \"Vultan's Theme\". At the end, he is appointed the General of the Armies when Prince Barin is revealed as the rightful ruler of Mongo.\n\nIn the 1996 Flash Gordon animated series, Vultan is a somewhat conservative leader, and reluctant to act against Ming for fear of reprisals against his people. His role as Flash's ally is taken by his teenage son, Prince Talon.\n\nIn the 2007 television series, Vultan appears as one of the leaders of a group of nomadic mercenaries called Dactyls (a variation of the Hawkmen). In the episode, Ascension, Vultan travels to Earth, using Princess Aura's rift key. He kidnaps a teenage boy who he claims is his son. He is played by Ty Olsson.\n\nIn a 2008 episode of the animated sitcom Family Guy called \"Road to Germany\", Brian, Stewie and Mort enlist the help of Vultan's Hawkman Army in a dogfight over Europe against the Luftwaffe. Blessed returns to voice Vultan briefly during the episode.\n\n2018 brought about the Cleveland metal band \"Vultan\" which is dedicated for the love of Prince Vultan.\n\nReferences\n\nComics characters introduced in 1934\nComics characters with accelerated healing\nComics characters who can move at superhuman speeds\nComics characters with superhuman senses\nComics characters with superhuman strength\nExtraterrestrial superheroes\nFictional princes\nScience fiction film characters\nFlash Gordon characters\nMale characters in comics\nMale characters in film",

"Occupation is a three-part drama serial broadcast by BBC One in June 2009. It was written by Peter Bowker and produced by Kudos for BBC Northern Ireland.\n\nIt took four years to bring the serial to screen. Filming took place in Morocco and Northern Ireland.\n\nThe serial follows the fortunes of three British Army soldiers from the 2003 invasion of Basra to 2007. Each is inspired to return to Basra for different reasons: one returns for love, one for monetary gain, and one for his belief in the mission to rebuild the country.\n\nIt received the British Academy Television Award for Best Drama Serial in 2010.\n\nEpisodes\n\nEpisode 1\nA British Army section led by Sergeant Mike Swift are attempting to assault a sniper group in an apartment block in Basra. The group are caught in a grenade blast, and several members of the section and an innocent young Iraqi girl are injured. Swift carries the girl to a local hospital, where he meets Dr Aliya Nabil. The unit returns to Manchester, England, with Swift being hailed as a hero, but all experience difficulty integrating back into normal family life. The girl and Aliya have also travelled to England, and Swift begins to fall in love with the doctor, nearly embarking on an affair. Having left the Army, Corporal Danny Ferguson finds solace in drugs, before going into partnership with Sergeant Erik Lester, a former U.S. Marine who was impressed by Ferguson's calmness under fire and has gone into business as a contractor for a private military company. Ferguson and Lester return to Iraq, and secure a contract to escort American businessmen around hospitals and clinics they are planning to rebuild. Lance Corporal Lee Hibbs, having also left the Army and being unimpressed with work as a nightclub bouncer, joins Ferguson and Lester, thinking he can play a role in rebuilding Iraq. On their first assignment, the escort group dress and apply makeup to look like Arabs, and begin their escort job in two old cars. After becoming separated from their other car, Ferguson and Lester, with the American businessman, are ambushed in a roadblock, and the episode ends with Ferguson somewhat comically stripping naked in front of a British patrol shouting \"I'm from Kirkby!\", mirroring the actor's real world origins, in order to prove he is British, the car having been driven away from the ambush by Lester, who has been shot in the neck. Meanwhile, Aliya and the little girl return to Iraq without telling Swift, leading him to volunteer to return.\n\nEpisode 2\nEpisode 2 begins in March 2004, four months after episode 1. Swift, promoted to Staff Sergeant and transferred to the Royal Army Medical Corps, is looking for Aliya by enquiring at her former hospital, where he meets Dr Sadiq Alasadi, a male doctor and influential local figure, who had been missing presumed dead in prison under Saddam Hussein's rule. Having saved the American, Lester and Ferguson outfit, Pacific Solutions, has flourished, and they are looking to expand from simple escort protection of contractors, to organising the reconstruction projects as well, starting with Sadiq's hospital. Reunited, Ferguson informs Swift that he knows where Aliya is, and while as a friend warns him against contacting her, as a businessman he says he will tell him, in exchange for putting a word in with Sadiq. He agrees, but on finding her working in another clinic she again refuses his advances and reveals she had been married all along. Swift, Ferguson and Lester meet Sadiq at the hospital, and once he learns of Swift's earlier heroics, Paterson and Lester secure the contract. In the process, Swift learns that Sadiq is Aliya's husband, to the amusement of Lester and Ferguson. On a further visit, Aliya rejects an offer from Swift to take her to England, even though conditions for her are worsening in Iraq.\n\nMoving into August 2004, Yunis, an Iraqi translator working for Pacific solutions, who has befriended Hibbs, leaves the firm to set up his own pizzeria. While at his shop, Yunis is murdered by two Iraqi policeman for collaborating. Hibbs is off guard not expecting danger, as he trained the pair while he was in the Army. Hibbs, angry at the death, seeks revenge, but is persuaded not to act by Ferguson and Lester. Fearing he is having a breakdown, Ferguson arranges for Swift to take Hibbs back to England on his transport a week later, as he finishes his second tour.\n\nA year later, Hibbs and Swift are back home, and it is around the time of the 7 July 2005 London bombings. Hibbs' view of the Iraqi people has hardened, and he states he endorses the July attackers' actions, if it makes his sister, who has constantly opposed the war, realise \"what they are like\". Meanwhile, in Iraq, Pacific Solutions is expanding, and Ferguson and Lester enter a partnership with Western investors in Dubai, explaining how they cream money off the top of coalition reconstruction grants by inventing cost overruns. Swift's wife has guessed that he had an affair and demands he leave the marital home. Hibbs, obsessed with Yunis's death, returns to Iraq at Christmas, visits his wife and family, and gives them all his savings. On leaving their house, he is kidnapped by a militant group led by the two policeman he knows. The episode ends with Hibbs being forced to video a statement stating that he is a private contractor and he and the United States and British forces should not be in Iraq. Meanwhile, against the wishes of Lester, Ferguson and a colleague look for him in the streets of Basra.\n\nEpisode 3\nStill in December 2005, Ferguson has located the police station where Hibbs is being held after being told by Yassin, Yunis's teenage son, who witnessed the kidnap. He is successfully exchanged for money, to the anger of Lester. To pay back Lester, Ferguson persuades him that Hibbs can be used to drive a regular truck shipment they have been contracted to undertake from Kuwait to Basra, which routinely runs empty while Pacific Solutions are still paid for the job. Ferguson and Lester meet Sadiq to sign off on a contract. After Ferguson attempts a last minute change to the sundries total from $6,000 to $60,000, the doctor refuses to sign the contract, to the annoyance of Lester who sees an avenue to millions of dollars' worth of contacts closed. Back at base, Ferguson forges the doctor's signature on the contract and tells Lester to go ahead with it. Sadiq gets into an argument with three young militiamen who want treatment for a wounded member, but object to the hospital's continued use of women doctors against mosque instructions. As he leaves for home, he is kidnapped by unseen assailants as he stands next to his car.\n\nBy June 2007, Swift's son, Richard, has decided to join the Army, and instead of leaving the Army, Swift, who is now divorced, returns to Basra to watch over his son on his first tour. Relations between Lester and Ferguson worsen as Ferguson expresses boredom with life in Dubai. They agree to split their skills, with Lester in Dubai and Petersen in Basra. Swift learns of Sadiq's kidnap, and visits his wife in the hospital, where she is now forced to work out of sight in the pharmacy. While he is obliged to communicate through a male intermediary, she tells him she does not know who is holding him and that no ransom demand has been made. After consulting with Yassin, Swift theorises that, since no ransom has been demanded, he may have been arrested by British or American authorities, but gets nowhere with inquiries. Swift arranges for Hibbs to bring Aliya to his office, where they have sex, apparently for the first time, and Yassin, who has been getting progressively more religious, expresses displeasure at being in the company of \"immoral women\" like her.\n\nThree months later, having got nowhere, Swift turns to Ferguson for help, and they argue, as Ferguson assumes that Sadiq must have done something to deserve being arrested, being no good just like \"everybody in this country\", bombing and killing each other over religion and tribal conflict. After Swift leaves, Ferguson eventually instructs Hibbs and a colleague to do a job for him; they protest that they should not go outside with fewer than six men, and he counters that work is drying up and they cannot afford to use more. Hibbs meets an Arab pair in the desert, who in exchange for money, hand over a hooded man, who Hibbs discovers is Sadiq. They return him to the hospital, and pay him off with compensation, insisting the incident was a case of mistaken identity.\n\nAs they leave, they drive into a demonstrating mob, and after grounding their car are forced to escape on foot as the mob turns on them. As Swift is in the British base, attempting to counsel his son who is not coping well with his first tour, he gets a message from Aliya, asking him to come to the hospital. On arriving, Sadiq reveals it was Ferguson who kidnapped him, and he urges Swift to go to the press to expose Pacific Solutions and to take Aliya out of Iraq, intimating that he knows of their affair, but believes that he \"is finished\" and that Swift is her best hope of safety. Lester returns to the Basra Pacific office, and is angry at Ferguson, blaming his erratic behaviour, bullying and forgery for losing a multimillion-dollar oil field deal. As they argue, Ferguson receives a call for help from Hibbs, who with his colleague are pinned down. Lester prepares to leave to help Hibbs, while urging Ferguson to take some responsibility for the situation. Ferguson responds by stating he will call the British Army in to rescue the pair, over objections from Lester, who states it would finish them in Iraq.\n\nRichard Swift is a member of the patrol tasked to rescue Hibbs, but is separated from his unit and finds himself in an apartment block. He unsuccessfully attempts to radio for help, and then texts his father, who is in the hospital with Sadiq and Aliya; all three are by now helping the victims of the developing violence outside. As militia arrive, Yassin now among them, Swift is urged to leave by his translator. As Swift leaves, Aliya is pinned up against a wall and shot in the head by Yassin. Swift receives the text message from his son, and finds him dead in the apartment block.\n\nBack in England, Ferguson, Hibbs and Swift are at Richard's funeral. The episode ends with the men in a bar afterwards, with Swift angry at Ferguson, blaming him for his son being there, fighting the guilt of having not got to him in time. Hibbs, having become a counsellor for returning servicemen, is prepared to aid Swift in \"taking down\" Ferguson and Lester with information about their dodgy dealings. Ferguson retaliates by stating that his new-found reason for risking his life in Iraq is money, in contrast to the lack of a reason while in the Army. Swift questions what has happened to him, to which he replies \"I went to Iraq, why, what happened to you?\". The episode ends poignantly as all three are left sitting in the bar, all close to tears.\n\nCast\n James Nesbitt as Mike Swift\n Stephen Graham as Danny Ferguson\n Warren Brown as Lee Hibbs\n Nonso Anozie as Erik Lester\n Yigal Naor as Dr Sadiq Alasadi\n Lubna Azabal as Dr Aliya Nabil\n Omar Berdouni as Ahmed\n Monica Dolan as Nicky Swift\n Andrew-Paul Roberts as Richard Swift\n Lewis Alsamari as Yunis\n Fenar Mohammed-Ali as Yassin\nGreg Kelly as Spike\n John Prentice as John Prentice the 3rd of Lisburn Town\n\nCritical reception\nTim Walker of The Independent called Occupation \"a predictably masterly production\" but felt that its \"bleak climax...stretched the bounds of plausibility\". Writing for The Times, Caitlin Moran praised Nesbitt's performance as \"surpringsly gripping\". Helen Rumbelow, also from The Times, reviewed the first episode and felt the opening \"a sequence of brilliant film-making\" but criticised the acting from Nesbitt and Graham as \"a touch too comedic\". The Telegraph felt the series gave \"a poignant sense of the ironies\" of the war in Iraq, praised writer Peter Bowker and summarised by calling the series \"Truly excellent\". Kathryn Flett wrote in The Guardian that \"Nesbitt was very good and easy to like\" but \"not the film's star\", feeling that performances by Stephen Graham and Warren Brown \"made the deeper, more lasting impression\". She also praised the writing as \"thrilling - funny, sad, real, believable\".\n\nReferences\n\nExternal links\n\nOccupation at BBC Press Office\nDaniel Pemberton (composer)\n\n2000s British drama television series\n2009 British television series debuts\n2009 British television series endings\nIraq War in television\nBritish military television series\nTelevision shows set in Northern Ireland\n2000s war drama films\nTelevision series set in 2003\nTelevision series set in 2004\nTelevision series set in 2005\nTelevision series set in 2006\nTelevision series set in 2007\nBritish war drama films",

"Glenn (full name in the television series: Glenn Rhee) is a fictional character from the comic book series The Walking Dead, in which he is known simply as Glenn. He was portrayed by Steven Yeun in the television series of the same name and voiced by Nick Herman in the video game of the same name.\n\nIn both forms of media, Glenn is a young pizza delivery boy from Atlanta (although in the television series it's stated that he's originally from Yeun's home state, Michigan) who is separated from his family after the zombie outbreak and joins a group of survivors led by Rick Grimes. Glenn is known for being quick thinking and resourceful, which makes him the group's primary supply runner. As the group begins to move around the region looking for sanctuary, Glenn meets Maggie Greene and they fall in love. Their relationship is tested in numerous ways throughout the course of the series as their humanity is challenged in the face of numerous threats, including hostile survivors the group comes into contact with. They eventually marry and have a child, although Glenn is killed by Negan before the child is born.\n\nThe character of Glenn was acclaimed and a fan-favorite. Yeun's performance was praised, and many fans have expressed that Glenn's death was a turning point in the quality of the show.\n\nAppearances\n\nComic book series \nResourceful and clever, Glenn makes it out of Atlanta and comes up on the group of survivors on the outer limits of the city. Due to his knack for scavenging, he is often nominated to sneak into the city and find supplies. On one of these runs, he finds Rick Grimes and brings him back to the group, reuniting them with his family. His use of MacGyver-like tactics to outsmart and kill walkers enabled him to successfully recover guns for Jim, another of the group's members. Glenn develops a nascent crush on Maggie, but his shyness initially prevents him from acting on his feelings. Maggie eventually realizes this and confronts Glenn about his feelings and they start a relationship. After Maggie's father Hershel catches him in bed with Maggie, Glenn and Hershel have a brief argument. Despite the rocky start, Hershel understands that he cannot stop his daughter from wanting to be with Glenn. While Hershel kicks the majority of the survivors out, he accepts Glenn's decision to stay with Maggie.\n\nGlenn tests a new idea of how to clear walkers on the fence: by attaching knives to plywood so it's easier to retrieve them after stabbing. When the group tries to make a permanent home at the prison, he moves into the same cell as Maggie. Later on, Hershel gives Maggie permission to be in a relationship with Glenn, and helps him settle into a prison-turned-refuge with Maggie and helps the group find fuel and supplies. Glenn is later imprisoned by the Governor, an encounter that leaves him with physical and mental scars; Glenn is beaten and forced to hear the Governor brutally rape Michonne in a neighboring cell. After his escape and return to the prison, Glenn grows to love Maggie and proposed to her with a ring stolen from a zombie's finger; Hershel marries the couple shortly after. Soon after their marriage, Glenn and Maggie volunteer to join the group that traveled to the Army Center to prevent enemies from Woodbury from using its fuel for their vehicles. The group is attacked by Bruce and his friends. Glenn, distracted, allows Andrea to snipe Bruce, and Michonne to kill the rest of the attackers. He fiercely defends the prison from a front gate sniper tower. With the group divided on what to do next, Glenn decides to leave with Dale and Andrea in the R.V. at the last minute, saving Sophia and Maggie's lives (at this point, Sophia saw him as a surrogate father). He, Maggie, and Sophia stay at Hershel's farm with Dale and Andrea.\n\nWhen the group encounters survivors at the farm, Glenn immediately mistrusts Abraham Ford, Rosita Espinosa, and Eugene Porter. However, he agrees to accompany them to Washington for Eugene's mission rather than stay at the farm any longer. On the road, Maggie attempts to hang herself and Glenn fought with Abraham, who intended to shoot her. Glenn cuts Maggie down and performs CPR, saving her life. Glenn's focus shifts from scavenging to caring for his new family and supporting Maggie after the death of her entire family. With the rest of the group, he travels to the Alexandria Safe-Zone. Glenn is suspicious of the Safe-Zone's community but adapts more rapidly than Rick. Glenn's skills and agility make him a suitable applicant to once again be a scavenger and a replacement for the wounded Scott. While the survivors stay in Father Gabriel Stokes' church, Glenn is caught in the center of conflict again when one of the Hunters, Albert, shoots him in the leg while he carries a mutilated Dale to safety. Gabriel and Eugene patch up Glenn's leg using a few tea-leaves and hot candle wax. Like the rest of the group, Glenn is pinned down in the church and remains behind while Abraham and the other leaders take care of them. He is unharmed during and in the aftermath, and his leg wound heals a few days afterwards.\n\nRick asks Glenn, due to his loyalty, to steal back their guns and weapons, which were taken by Douglas Monroe, when they first came to the Safety-zone. Glenn creates a distraction for the Community's survivors while he looks for the weapons. Rick and Glenn find the armory, and Glenn sneaks in. Rick distributes the weapons amongst the members of their group.\n\nAfter the issues with Douglas are solved, Glenn and Maggie live in Alexandria for some time and decide that Alexandria would be the best place to raise a child, something they had wanted to do for some time. After a few attempts, Maggie gets pregnant.\n\nHowever their celebration is short-lived; a group called the Saviors attempt to break into the community numerous times. During one such invasion, Glenn helps Eugene escape. Glenn and others go out and take on walkers coming towards the Alexandria gates. After Abraham is killed by Dwight, one of the Saviors, Glenn convinces Maggie to leave the community with him and Sophia, and head toward the Hilltop Colony, which he believes to be a much safer place. As they are camped on the road resting for the night after driving halfway to the Hilltop, Rick says goodbye to Glenn, and states that he is happy for him. They are ambushed by the Saviors soon afterward. The leader of the Saviors, Negan, selects Glenn to die as \"punishment\" for the Saviors Rick's group killed; he then bludgeons Glenn to death with a baseball bat. Glenn dies while helplessly crying Maggie's name. Rick and everyone else are left with Glenn's mangled corpse as the Saviors drive away, with Rick swearing to avenge Glenn's death.\n\nHis death initially leaves the group shattered, with Maggie quickly descending into an emotional mess and Rick on the verge of yielding to Negan's power. Glenn's body is later driven by the group to the Hilltop, where it is buried in a matter of days. To honor Glenn's final wishes, Maggie chooses to remain at the Hilltop with Sophia and start a new life while awaiting their baby.\n\nTelevision series \nGlenn's parents were originally from Korea. Glenn grew up in Michigan with several sisters and moved to Atlanta. He worked as a pizza delivery boy, giving him in depth knowledge of Atlanta's layout. When the outbreak occurred, Glenn encountered another survivor named T-Dog (Theodore Douglas) and the two escaped Atlanta together and took refuge in a camp outside of the city led by Shane Walsh.\n\nSeason 1 \n\nIn the series premiere episode \"Days Gone Bye\", Glenn's voice is first heard using a radio to talk to Rick when Rick is hiding in a tank in the city of Atlanta. In the episode \"Guts\", Glenn uses the radio to rescue Rick from the horde of walkers surrounding the tank, and guides Rick to the location of his group, which consists of Andrea, T-Dog, Merle Dixon, Jacqui, and Morales, hiding in a department store. The noise made by Rick as he and Glenn flee the horde draws the walkers to the store and the group finds themselves trapped inside. As the walkers try to break through the plate glass doors of the store, Rick decides to try to reach a box truck at a nearby construction site. To reach the truck, he and Glenn cover themselves in the blood and viscera of a dispatched walker, allowing them to successfully pass among the walkers, until a brief rainstorm washes off enough of the blood scent that they begin to draw attention. They make a break for the construction site, and Rick is able to reach the box truck. Glenn drives a Dodge Challenger, its alarm blaring, to draw the attention of the walkers away from the store, while Rick drives the box truck to one of the store's cargo doors. The entire group (other than Merle, who is trapped on the roof of the store) is able to escape the city in the box truck, apart from Glenn, who drives away in the Challenger. Glenn races down the highway in his new Challenger and heads back to his group with Rick and his new group following behind in the box truck. In the episode \"Tell It to the Frogs\", they meet up with the rest of the survivors at the Atlanta campsite, where Glenn helps distribute supplies and assist others when needed. He later goes with Rick, Daryl, and T-Dog to find Merle in the city and help Rick regain the guns previously dropped near the tank. In the episode \"Vatos\", Glenn ends up getting kidnapped by a nursing home crew posing as gang bangers, who try to exchange him for weaponry. Glenn is released, but his group then finds out that the truck which they used to drive to the city is missing, leaving them with no choice but to return to the campsite on foot. Glenn and the rest of his teammates return to the camp just in time to witness a herd of walkers invade and kill many of the survivors. In the episode \"Wildfire\", in the wake of the massacre, he assists in dealing with the corpses and insists that the group bury their people instead of burning them as they did the walkers they previously killed. Ultimately, he and the rest of the group leave the campsite and head to the CDC. Along the way Jim, a survivor who was bitten during the attack and has been battling the fever, finally gives in and requests to be left to die by the trees nearby which Glenn tries to argue but the group ultimately goes with Jim's choice. In the episode \"TS-19\", for a brief time, they enjoy the luxuries the CDC offers. They are on the road again, however, following the self-destruction of the CDC building.\n\nSeason 2 \n\nIn the season premiere \"What Lies Ahead,\" Glenn continues to be a valuable asset to the group, helping to repair the RV and scavenging items from abandoned cars on the highway. In the episode \"Bloodletting,\" Glenn, Lori, Carol, Daryl, and Andrea continue to search near the highway for Carol's daughter Sophia. In the episode \"Save the Last One,\" Glenn and T-Dog arrive at Hershel Greene's farm, where Carl is recovering from a gunshot wound. He sparks up a friendship with Hershel's daughter Maggie when she catches him praying for Carl. In the episode \"Cherokee Rose,\" Glenn agrees to act as live bait to draw a trapped walker out of a well, but this goes badly and he almost falls into the well. Glenn and Maggie later decide to go into town to get supplies from a pharmacy, when Lori discreetly asks him to get her a pregnancy test as well. When Maggie asks him what he's looking for, he tries to make an excuse and accidentally grabs a box of condoms. Maggie then seduces him and they have sex. In the episode \"Chupacabra,\" Glenn learns that Lori is pregnant, and she begs him not to tell Rick. Maggie expresses to Glenn that their fling was a one-time thing, but Glenn tries to convince her that their romance should continue. Later at dinner, Maggie slips Glenn a note under the table asking him where they can have another sexual encounter; Glenn writes an answer and returns the note. After the meal ends Maggie opens the note with Glenn's response saying that he will meet her in the barn outside. A horrified Maggie hurries outside and runs toward the barn, but she is unable to prevent Glenn from discovering that the locked building is full of walkers. In the episode \"Secrets,\" Maggie begs Glenn not to tell the others about the barn, but he soon reveals this secret and Lori's pregnancy to Dale. Maggie feels frustrated and betrayed by Glenn when he does not keep his promise that he will not reveal that walkers are in the barn. She forgives him soon afterwards however, and they start to engage in a relationship. In the mid-season finale \"Pretty Much Dead Already,\" Glenn tells the rest of the group about the barn, and Shane eventually breaks the barn open, leading Glenn and the other survivors to kill all of the walkers as they file out of the barn, including a now-zombified Sophia.\n\nIn the mid-season premiere \"Nebraska,\" Hershel disappears after the incident at the barn. Before Glenn and Rick leave for town to find Maggie's father, Maggie tells Glenn she loves him. Glenn leaves before saying it back. They find Hershel in a bar and inform him that his youngest daughter, Beth, has collapsed and is in need of medical attention. They attempt to talk him into returning to the farm, but he refuses. Two men from another group, Dave and Tony, find them. An argument leads to a violent confrontation, and Rick kills the two men. In the episode \"Triggerfinger,\" more armed men from Dave and Tony's group come looking for them, and they get into a shootout with Glenn, Rick, and Hershel. Glenn is wracked with embarrassment and guilt after freezing during the shootout with outsiders. They capture one of the attackers, named Randall, before they all return to the farm. Glenn blames his inaction in town on his deep love for Maggie, and apparently breaks up with her when they get back to the farm. In the episode \"Judge, Jury, Executioner,\" Hershel gives Glenn a family heirloom, representing his approval of Glenn's relationship with Maggie. In the episode \"Better Angels,\" when Randall apparently escapes, Rick, Shane, Daryl, and Glenn go on a manhunt for the fugitive; Shane leads Rick one direction while Daryl and Glenn comb another part of the woods. Glenn and Daryl find and kill Randall who has inexplicably reanimated from the dead as a walker despite no signs of a bite wound. In the season finale \"Beside the Dying Fire,\" when the farm is overrun by walkers, Glenn plays a big part in its defense. During the chaos, he convinces Maggie to abandon the farmyard for the meantime so as to avoid any further danger. He later assures her that her family is safe, and seeing the right opportunity, confesses his love for her. The two eventually reunite with the other survivors at the highway. After discovering that Rick kept secret the fact that they are all infected, Glenn is among the survivors who grow wary of Rick. He and Maggie contemplate leaving camp and abandoning Rick's leadership. They, however, dismiss such thoughts after Rick taunts the group with the option of leaving on their own.\n\nSeason 3 \n\nIn the season premiere \"Seed,\" six to seven months after leaving the farm, Glenn has become increasingly proficient at fighting walkers. He and Maggie continue to have a strong relationship. The group finds a prison and decides to make it their new home. While clearing out part of the prison, Glenn and Maggie get separated from Hershel and Hershel gets bitten by a walker, forcing Rick to cut Hershel's leg off below the knee to prevent the infection from spreading. In the episode \"Sick,\" Glenn escorts Carol to the prison yard so that she can practice a C-section in preparation for Lori's delivery. In the episode \"Killer Within,\" when Andrew lets walkers into the prison yard to attack the survivors, Glenn helps kill the walkers and stabilize the prison, but not before T-Dog and Lori are killed. In the episode \"Say the Word,\" Glenn finds Rick losing control and pleads for him to stop, but Rick nearly assaults Glenn. In the episode \"Hounded,\" while out on a supply run, Glenn and Maggie are ambushed and captured by Merle and brought to Woodbury for interrogation. In the episode \"When the Dead Come Knocking,\" Merle brutally beats Glenn while trying to find the whereabouts of their camp. Despite this, as well as being forced to fight a walker while strapped to a chair and having the Governor threaten to shoot Maggie, Glenn remains unbroken. But when the Governor threatens to shoot Glenn, Maggie tells her about the prison and their group. In the mid-season finale \"Made to Suffer,\" when Glenn and Maggie attempt to escape, the Governor orders Merle to execute them; they fight back and Merle's group is overwhelmed by Rick's group. Rick, Glenn, and Maggie escape over the wall, and meet up with Michonne.\n\nIn the mid-season premiere \"The Suicide King,\" while Glenn remains behind, Rick and Maggie set off smoke grenades, killing several Woodbury residents and rescuing Merle and Daryl in the process. Glenn shows great frustration (at one point bludgeoning a walker pulled from a nearby vehicle) when he finds out that not only is Merle going with them, but Rick had not taken the opportunity to kill the Governor as well (still believing that he raped Maggie when they were held captive). They return to the prison without Merle and Daryl, but Glenn's relationship with Maggie begins to fall apart, despite her claims that the Governor threatened to cut off his hand if she refused to bow down to him. Rick has a breakdown while meeting Tyreese's group, and Glenn escorts them out of the room when Rick starts yelling. In the episode \"Home,\" with Rick losing control of himself, Glenn decides to impose himself as leader of the group, thinking about killing the Governor when he will not be expecting it. As he leaves on a scouting mission, he misses an attack made on the prison by the Governor, which results in Axel's death and the destruction of the main security gates. In the episode \"I Ain't a Judas,\" when Rick argues with Hershel about leaving the prison, Glenn agrees with Rick that they should stay and fight. In the episode \"Arrow on the Doorpost,\" Merle wants to kill the Governor during his meeting with Rick, but Glenn gets into a brawl with Merle to keep him from leaving the prison. Glenn begins to let go of some of his anger, and his relationship with Maggie improves. In the episode \"This Sorrowful Life,\" Glenn asks Hershel for his permission to marry Maggie, and Hershel gives Glenn his blessing. Glenn then asks Maggie to marry him, and she says yes. In the season finale \"Welcome to the Tombs,\" the Governor launches his assault on the prison, but the group is prepared. Glenn and Maggie fight back while wearing riot gear. Later, when Rick returns with the survivors from Woodbury, and Glenn opens the prison gates for them.\n\nSeason 4 \n\nIn the season premiere \"30 Days Without an Accident,\" Glenn and Maggie get a pregnancy scare and decides to go out on a run in her place. When he gets back to the prison, Maggie tells him she is not pregnant. In the episode \"Infected,\" Glenn is seen shouting about walkers being in a cell block during an attack. He later meets with the rest of the prison council about what to do about a possible deadly viral outbreak, and they begin quarantining the sick. In the episode \"Isolation,\" Glenn falls ill and is quarantined with the other sick prisoners. In the episode \"Internment,\" despite their illness, Glenn and Sasha help Hershel treat the other survivors with the virus. Glenn falls unconscious and recovers after Hershel saves him. Bob returns from a supply run with antibiotics and administers them to Glenn. In the mid-season finale \"Too Far Gone,\" when the Governor arrives and attacks the prison, Glenn is rescued by Maggie and gets separated from her once the bus leaves.\n\nIn the mid-season premiere \"Inmates,\" after the prison attack, Glenn wakes up and finds himself trapped in the prison after leaving the escape bus. He heads to his room and finds the photo he took of Maggie. He grabs his riot gear, assault rifle, and an alcohol bottle from a survivor and heads out. Along the way, he encounters Tara, a survivor of the attacking army. She explains that she was the reason behind this and has no need for living as she watched her sister and niece die. She also tells him about the death of Hershel, which leaves Glenn saddened. Glenn convinces her that they need each other to get out alive. Glenn throws the bottle at a nearby car to distract the walkers and he and Tara escape. Along the road, Tara mentions that The Governor told her that the prison group were bad people and she didn't believe him for one second. She then apologizes for everything. They both get attacked by walkers and Glenn passes out. As Tara kills the last zombie, a military truck pulls up and three people climb out: Abraham Ford, Eugene Porter, and Rosita Espinosa. In the episode \"Claimed,\" Abraham convinces Tara to accompany them on their trek to Washington D.C. so Eugene can hopefully stop the virus and save the world, and they put an unconscious Glenn in the back of the truck. When Glenn wakes up, he bashes the back window until Abraham stops and gets out. Glenn insists on searching for Maggie, but when Abraham insists that Maggie is dead the two men brawl. The commotion draws walkers, and when Eugene tries to shoot them he accidentally cripples their vehicle. Glenn takes this as a sign that he should find Maggie and Tara decides to go with them, then Rosita follows and Eugene tells Abraham that they should go along until they can find a new vehicle. In the episode \"Alone,\" Glenn discovers a sign leading to Terminus. In the episode \"Us,\" the group begins to see signs from Maggie that they should go to Terminus and when the group comes to a tunnel, Abraham can't bring himself to risk Eugene's life and they part ways, leaving Glenn and Tara to go through the tunnel alone. They come across the dead wandering around an area in the tunnel that has collapsed and while sneaking around them, Tara falls down the debris and is trapped. Glenn refuses to leave her and begins beating off the walkers, when they are rescued by Maggie, Sasha, Bob, Eugene, Abraham and Rosita. Reunited with Maggie, they all decide to continue to Terminus where they meet with the refugees. In the season finale \"A,\" it is revealed that they have been imprisoned in a railroad car when Rick and his group are also imprisoned in the same car.\n\nSeason 5 \n\nIn the season premiere \"No Sanctuary,\" Glenn and the others create makeshift weapons to fight off their captors, but the Terminus guards instead drop a flashbang grenade into the boxcar, and drag Glenn, Rick, Daryl, and Bob out. They are taken to the slaughterhouse and lined up bending over a pig trough next where four other male survivors are brutally slaughtered over the pig trough but just as Glenn is next Gareth walks in and questions one of the guards about the survivors. An explosion caused by Carol distracts Gareth and allows Rick to break free from his cuffs, kill the guards, then set Glenn, Daryl and Bob free. The four soon discover that the people of Terminus are cannibals and Rick orders everyone shot on sight. They make their way back to the boxcar and free their friends as they fight their way out. As Glenn tries to oppose Rick's plan to go back they are reunited with Carol, Tyreese and Judith and move on. In the episode \"Strangers,\" the group hear screams for help. They go and assist the man from a group of walkers. He introduces himself as Gabriel. He takes the survivors back to his church, which they quickly check is secure and not a trap. It's then decided that the group will need to go and fetch supplies. Glenn goes with Maggie and Tara to scavenge a weapons store, where he finds three silencers in a mini fridge. The group celebrate as Abraham makes a toast. In the episode \"Four Walls and a Roof,\" the group discover Bob was captured by the cannibals of Terminus and is being used as bait, having been eaten on the leg. Bob reveals he is bitten, to which Glenn reminds to Rick that Jim had lasted two days before turning. When Abraham announces that he's taking Eugene and leaving to ensure his survival, an argument breaks out between him and Rick when he insists on taking the bus. Glenn manages to stop the argument by promising Abraham that if he stays for one more night to help deal with Gareth and the Hunters, then he and Maggie will leave with Abraham on the church bus the following morning. Abraham reluctantly agrees. Glenn says goodbye to Bob before he leaves to go to Washington with Maggie, Tara, Abraham, Eugene, and Rosita.\n\nIn the episode \"Self Help,\" on their journey to DC, the bus crashes and the survivors face multiple walker problems including a herd consisting of thousands which Abraham tries to insist they go through despite Glenn attempting to reason with him. Eugene reveals he crashed the bus and admits that he lied about the cure, Glenn is stunned by the revelation and Abraham reacts in rage and violently punches Eugene and Glenn and Rosita try to stop him as they attempt to wake up Eugene. In the episode \"Crossed,\" Glenn, Tara and Rosita bond as Maggie watches over Eugene and Abraham, as Eugene is unconscious after his beating and Abraham is unresponsive. In the mid-season finale \"Coda,\" the group return to the church to discover Beth is alive and at Grady Memorial Hospital in Atlanta. The group travel to Atlanta, but are too late, as Beth has been killed and arrive in time to see a distraught Daryl carrying her body out and Glenn is left comforting a broken Maggie.\n\nIn the mid-season premiere \"What Happened and What's Going On,\" two weeks after Beth's death the group is heading to Richmond, Virginia to find Noah's refuge following Rick's desire to fulfill Beth's last wish. However Glenn is doubtful that Noah's sanctuary is still there and his suspicions are proven true as they find the sanctuary in ruin and he and Rick start debating the logic in searching, and Beth's fate at Dawn's hand. Rick states he knew Dawn didn't mean to do it but would have killed her anyway if Daryl hadn't and Glenn noted that it wouldn't make a difference, making Michonne concerned about them debating killing someone makes her want to stop running and find a place to live. She later presses this when they find walker limbs, cut up, and insists on Washington again but Glenn is doubtful as Eugene was lying but Rick decides to take a chance. Later Glenn helps Michonne cut off Tyreese's arm when he is bitten and tries to haul him to safety, briefly being delayed by a truck opening and letting out numerous walker bodies with no arms and legs with \"w\"s cut into their foreheads, but Tyreese dies from blood loss and Glenn stands over his service. In the episode \"Them,\" Glenn tries to comfort a grieving Maggie, still distraught over Beth's death, after she begins to doubt if she wants to live anymore. Glenn is also the sole member of the group with water during the drought and tries to make at least one member of the group drink some and later helps defend the barn they're staying in from a walker herd. In the episode \"The Distance,\" when Maggie and Sasha bring in a stranger named Aaron who claims to have a community of good people nearby and wants them to join, Glenn leads a small group of Michonne, Maggie, Abraham and Rosita to investigate his claim of nearby cars. After learning he was telling to truth of the cars the group takes off at night to avoid suspicion but when they get paranoid about Aaron again they are forced to drive through a herd of walkers and escape on foot. However Glenn begins to trust Aaron again when they meet his boyfriend Eric, confirming his earlier claim there was only one person with him and begs Rick to do so as well. Later when the R.V. breaks down Glenn shows an angry Abraham where to find another battery to which he says\" how'd you know those were there?\" and Glenn just smiles, referencing Dale's teachings. Eventually the group arrives at Aaron's community the Alexandria Safe-Zone. In the episode \"Remember,\" Glenn and the others are interviewed by Deanna Monroe, Alexandria's leader, and he admits the sense of brutality he has developed from being in the world for too long and how he needs to make it work and Deanna offers Glenn the job of supply runner. When the group is given two houses to divide among themselves they decide to sleep all together in one house to be cautious and the next day Glenn, Tara and Noah accompany Deanna's son Adien and his friend Nicholas on a run but learn they've strung a walker up as a warning and they try to reattach it which Glenn kills before it can kill Tara which enrages Adien. Once back at the safe zone Glenn provokes Aiden into fighting him until Rick and Deanna break it up and Deanna addresses the community to accept the group and personally thanks Glenn for knocking Aiden \"on his ass.\"\n\nIn the episode \"Forget,\" Glenn appears at the party at Deanna's house, where he assures Noah that he is family now. In the episode \"Spend,\" Glenn, Noah, Tara, Eugene, Aiden, and Nicholas head to a warehouse to scavenge parts to repair Alexandria's solar power system. As they approach the warehouse, they find that the front area is infested with walkers, though a cage prevents them from being able to enter. As the group enters, they encounter a zombified soldier wearing body armor. Despite Glenn's pleas not to shoot it, Aiden fires at the walker several times and hits one of its grenades, causing an explosion. Tara is critically wounded, and Aiden is apparently killed. The explosion also weakens the cage, allowing walkers to enter the warehouse. The group falls back, only to discover Aiden is still alive, but impaled by two pieces of metal. As Glenn, Noah, and Nicholas go to save Aiden, Eugene carries Tara out of the warehouse. With the walkers closing in, Nicholas panics and flees, forcing Glenn and Noah to abandon Aiden, who is eaten alive by walkers. Glenn, Noah, and Nicholas take shelter inside a revolving door, but are trapped by walkers on both sides. Eugene arrives in the van and lures the walkers on the outside away. However, Nicholas pushes his way out, leaving Glenn and Noah vulnerable. The walkers grab Noah and tear him apart as Glenn watches in horror. Nicholas goes to the van and tells Eugene they must leave immediately. When Eugene refuses, Nicholas pulls him out of the van and tries to leave without him. Glenn arrives and knocks Nicholas out. Glenn then proceeds to put him in the van, instead of leaving him behind. In the episode \"Try,\" Glenn relates the true series of events to Rick. Deanna bans Glenn and Nicholas from the armory and leaving the Safe-Zone while she investigates. Glenn confronts Nicholas and tells him men like him should have died to the walkers, but he was lucky Alexandria's walls came up. Glenn threatens Nicholas, warning him never to set foot outside of the walls again. In the season finale \"Conquer,\" Glenn sees Nicholas climbing over the wall and grows suspicious and follows him out. While tracking him, Glenn is shot and wounded by Nicholas. Glenn manages to escape, and later attacks Nicholas when he is off-guard. A struggle ensues and Nicholas manages to escape, leaving Glenn to defend himself against walkers they attracted. As Nicholas tries to escape, Glenn tracks him down and holds him at gunpoint. Nicholas begs for his life, and Glenn spares him.\n\nSeason 6 \n\nIn the season premiere \"First Time Again,\" Glenn first appears in a flashback. In a flashback Glenn and Nicholas show at the infirmary both bloody and bruised from their fight in the woods. Glenn is patched up by Rosita and Maggie asks him what happened. Glenn tells her that walkers attacked him and Nicholas in the woods and Glenn was accidentally hit by a bullet that ricocheted off of a tree and hit him in the shoulder. Glenn later appears at Rick's meeting where they discuss how to get rid of the walker herd in the quarry. Glenn tells Maggie that she should stay in Alexandria and watch over Deanna who is still devastated over the deaths of Aiden and Reg. Maggie tells Glenn that's not the only reason he wants her to stay and Glenn acknowledges this. Glenn notices Nicholas and looks at him in disapproval. Nicholas raises his hand and says he wants to help Rick with the plan as they are going to need all help he can get. After Glenn sees this he offers to go too likely to watch Nicholas. Glenn later appears with he and Nicholas helping to build the wall to lure the walkers away. Glenn notices Maggie and Tara hugging which he smiles at. Glenn and Nicholas are later seen at the hardware store they are assigned to clear out. Glenn tells Nicholas that he will be keeping a close eye on him from now on. Nicholas tells him he just wants to help which Glenn says he can. At a shop between Alexandria and the quarry, Glenn, Heath, and Nicholas are tasked with killing a group of walkers trapped inside, so the noise made by the trapped walkers won't distract the approaching herd to veer off course. Glenn initially refuses to let Nicholas help, but Nicholas insists, and he saves Heath from being bitten by a walker. Later in the episode \"Thank You\" Glenn volunteers to start a distraction fire. Going with Nicholas, they run from the herd into a dead end alleyway, where they kill as many walkers as they can, but get trapped on top of a dumpster. Nicholas has a panic attack, says \"Thank you\" to Glenn, and shoots himself in the head. His body falls against Glenn, knocking him off the dumpster and into the herd of walkers. He is last seen lying on the ground underneath Nicholas' body, as the walkers begin to eat it. In the episode \"Now,\" Maggie reveals that she is pregnant with Glenn's child. In the episode \"Heads Up,\" Glenn is seen escaping from underneath the dumpster. He is then found by Enid, whom he talks into returning with him to Alexandria. The two start to form an uneasy friendship despite having contrasting philosophies of survival. The two release balloons outside the walker-surrounded gates as a sign that they are alive. In the mid-season finale \"Start to Finish,\" Glenn and Enid observe Maggie as she escapes from the herd that has invaded Alexandria, and they begin to formulate a plan to enter the city. In the episode \"Not Tomorrow Yet,\" Glenn makes his first kill along with Heath and Tara and takes an active part in the gun battle with the Saviors. At the end of the episode he is distraught to learn that Maggie and Carol have been kidnapped by another group of Saviors. Maggie and Carol manage to escape and Glenn and Maggie are soon reunited. In \"East,\" Glenn leaves Alexandria with Rosita and Michonne to go after Daryl, who wants to avenge Denise's death by killing Dwight. All four end up captured by Dwight, who shoots Daryl. In the finale \"Last Day on Earth,\" the four are unloaded from the back of a truck by Dwight, where they discover Rick, Carl, Maggie, Abraham, Sasha, Eugene, and Aaron have already been captured. Negan announces his plan to beat one of them to death using his baseball bat called Lucille as punishment for the group having killed so many of his people. He initially offers to put the pregnant Maggie out of her misery then and there, causing Glenn to beg for her life; he is thrown back into the line by Dwight. After contemplating whom to kill, Negan decides to select at random by saying \"eenie, meanie, minie, mo.\" The season ends with Negan beating an unknown target to death.\n\nSeason 7 \n\nIn the seventh-season premiere, \"The Day Will Come When You Won't Be\", Abraham is revealed to be Negan's chosen victim; Negan brutally beats him to death with Lucille as the rest of the group watches, horrified. When Daryl strikes Negan in the face in retaliation, Negan strikes Glenn with Lucille. After two blows to the head, Glenn sits up, severely brain damaged with a dislocated eye and caved in skull, and mutters \"Maggie, I'll find you\", before Negan repeatedly bludgeons Glenn's skull into a bloody pulp. After Negan and the Saviors leave Abraham and Glenn's corpses are loaded onto a truck Maggie and Sasha take to Hilltop. Rick then hallucinates an idealistic lifestyle in Alexandria with everyone, Abraham and Glenn included, eating dinner together. In \"The Cell\", Negan's henchman Dwight leaves a picture of Glenn's mangled corpse in Daryl's cell, where he is being held captive, to torment him. In \"Go Getters\", Glenn and Abraham are shown to be buried together at Hilltop.\n\nVideo games \nGlenn's appearance in the first episode of The Walking Dead video game is his first chronological appearance in the franchise. The character is voiced by Nick Herman. Lee Everett works with Glenn in \"A New Day,\" revealing that they are both from Macon, Georgia. Glenn volunteers to go out and scavenge for the survivors hiding out in Lee's family's pharmacy, but is pinned down by walkers at a local motel while trying to rescue a trapped girl, and the player must go out to save him. The girl, who has been infected, ends up killing herself before Glenn helps Lee's group escape. Glenn decides to leave the group at the end of the episode and return to Atlanta to find his friends, tying into his comic and television appearance.\n\nDevelopment\n\nCasting and characterization \nSteven Yeun was announced to be part of the main cast in May 2010, along with Laurie Holden. Former showrunner and executive producer Glen Mazzara describes Glenn as \"the heart of the show.\" He said that \"everybody loves that character; everybody’s rooting for that character. He may be tortured and sensitive, but he’s always a hero.\" Robert Kirkman described Glenn as being \"essential in keeping [the series] from being the unrelenting depressing thing that it definitely has the potential to be. Anything upbeat or uplifting usually comes from that character. I also think that Glenn’s relationship with Maggie is one of the clearest senses of hope that you get from the story.\"\n\nGlen Mazzara has confirmed that Glenn's last name is Rhee. Glenn's last name is also listed on his page on AMC's official The Walking Dead site. It had never been mentioned on-screen in the TV series until Season 7, Episode 5, \"Go Getters,\" when Maggie says to Gregory, \"My name is Maggie, Maggie Rhee.\"\n\nCritical reception \nYeun's portrayal of Glenn has been praised, particularly for breaking on-screen stereotypes associated with Asian-American men, and the depth of the character's relationship with Maggie. In May 2011, he received a Saturn Award nomination for Best Supporting Actor in Television.\n\nThe episode \"Cherokee Rose\" marks Glenn and Maggie's first sexual encounter. Critics commended the development of the relationship between Maggie and Glenn. Andrew Conrad of The Baltimore Sun stated that the storyline epitomized a \"steamy romance,\" while The Wall Street Journal Aaron Rutkoff called it \"the funniest moment of the series.\" Goldman opined that their sexual encounter felt genuine; \"He's a nice guy, she seems like a cool gal, and it felt genuine when she noted she felt plenty lonely too and ready for some companionship.\" Nick Venable of Cinema Blend felt that the interactions between Maggie and Glenn were the highlight of the episode. \"I'm glad the writers are introducing this comic book plot point, as this show seriously needs a couple without closets full of skeletons. When Glenn accidentally grabs a box of condoms for Maggie to see, I chuckled heartily. The ensuing conversation also made me smile, which makes me wonder why humor is paid the least amount of attention on the show.\" Jackson was surprised with the scene, and called it \"unexpected.\" Polygon staff ranked him as one of their \"69 biggest crushes of the last decade\" and described him to be \"shy cutie to Hot Dad\".\n\nIn the comic book and television mediums, Glenn is murdered by Negan, who uses his infamous barbwire bat \"Lucille\" to repeatedly bash his head in to a pulp as his wife and friends watch horrified, and helplessly after being captured by the Saviors. There is a difference in how his death occurs: In the comic books, after being forced to their knees, Glenn was revealed to be the victim chosen outright to die. However, Abraham Ford received this fate on TV in the episode \"The Day Will Come When You Won't Be.\" Glenn was still killed off in the same episode, with his demise being a result of Daryl Dixon disobeying Negan's rules. The deaths led to significant debate regarding the direction of the show. Some viewers and critics saw the deaths as too violent, with a number of them stating that the show had gone too far or that they would stop watching it; others felt that Glenn's death was needed because it reflects the comic book version and that both deaths show how brutal Negan can be.\n\nNoel Murray of Rolling Stone ranked Glenn Rhee 6th in a list of 30 best Walking Dead characters, saying, \"Prior to his murder, the ever-upbeat ex-delivery man had been in the series as long as Rick, and though he'd seemed to be dead multiple times before, our man Glenn somehow persevered each and every time … except the last time. His final fate appears to mark a turning point in the plot, signaling the end of the survivor's can-do spirit and the dawn of despair. For many, Steven Yeun's character was the heart and soul of the show. R.I.P.\"\n\nFollowing the death of Glenn Rhee in the Season 7 premiere, the Batesville Daily Guard, a small newspaper in Batesville, Ark., ran a \"fauxbituary\" in his honor penned by Frank Vaughn, a freelance writer for the paper. The fauxbituary went viral on Facebook and X (formerly Twitter), resulting in its being covered by such media outlets as Time Magazine, Us Weekly, Fox News Channel, the Associated Press, Daily Mail U.K., and numerous others. The paper received requests from all over the world for original prints of the paper it appeared in, and the Batesville Daily Guard (along with Vaughn) were awarded an Associated Press Media Editors award for Nontraditional News Item.\n\nReferences\n\nExternal links \n Glenn Rhee at AMC\n Glenn on IMDb\n Glenn comics character profile at TheWalkingDead.com\n\nComics characters introduced in 2003\nCharacters created by Robert Kirkman\nFictional characters from Georgia (U.S. state)\nFictional characters from Michigan\nFictional Korean American people\nFictional Korean people in video games\nThe Walking Dead (franchise) characters\nFictional murdered people\nImage Comics male characters",

"\"Occupation\" is the third season premiere and 34th episode of the re-imagined American science fiction drama television series Battlestar Galactica. The episode was written by re-imagined creator Ronald D. Moore, and directed by Sergio Mimica-Gezzan. It first aired on October 6, 2006 on the Sci-Fi Channel along with the following episode \"Precipice\". In the episode, the Cylons are in their fourth month of a military occupation on New Caprica, where the majority of the human population are residing. A resistance movement is trying to drive the Cylons away. Meanwhile, Admiral William Adama continues his plan to rescue everybody there. Unlike most episodes up to this point, it does not include a survivor count, leaving it unclear as to how many died when several ships were destroyed in the previous episode.\n\nThe story behind the episode was inspired by several wars and occupations in the past, including the Quartering Acts and the Iraq War. Several parts of the episode changed from the script, more predominantly the scenes involving a suicide bombing. The producers were worried that the Sci Fi Channel would not allow the inclusion of the scene. The episode was seen by 2.2 million viewers and attracted generally positive reactions from critics. In addition, Moore's writing of the episode was nominated for an Emmy and a Writers Guild of America award.\n\nPlot\nFour months have passed since the end of \"Lay Down Your Burdens\", where Cylons found the majority of the human population on a planet known as New Caprica, which had supposedly been hidden from DRADIS, and commenced their occupation. A few thousand humans had escaped in the remaining spaceships following Battlestars Galactica and Pegasus. Admiral William Adama (Edward James Olmos) is continuing to work on a plan to free those trapped on New Caprica. His son and commander of Pegasus Lee \"Apollo\" Adama (Jamie Bamber) confronts his father on pushing his Viper pilots beyond the breaking point, to which Adama says Apollo is becoming \"soft.\" Apollo's wife, Anastasia Dualla (Kandyse McClure) surprises him by supporting the Admiral.\n\nOn New Caprica, Kara \"Starbuck\" Thrace (Katee Sackhoff) is placed in an elaborate prison cell made to look like her old apartment on Caprica by Leoben Conoy (Callum Keith Rennie), who is attempting to force her to fall in love with him. Starbuck kills him several times, though Leoben always downloads into another body. Saul Tigh (Michael Hogan) is in a Cylon detention facility, where his right eye was forcibly removed. He is released when his wife Ellen Tigh (Kate Vernon) performs sexual favors for the Cylon Brother Cavil (Dean Stockwell). Tigh returns to Samuel Anders (Michael Trucco) and Galen Tyrol (Aaron Douglas), who have been leading a resistance movement against the Cylons, having detonated a bomb in a Cylon docking facility as Tigh is released. Now free, Tigh resorts to escalating their efforts, by planning suicide bombings against the Cylons and any human collaborators.\n\nThe resistance is given intelligence by an unidentified informant from the Cylon command structure, by use of a secret dead drop; flipping a dog bowl and hiding some documents inside the tent next to it. One piece of intelligence given is information on a Cylon communications blocker; the resistance makes use of that information to contact a Raptor orbiting the planet. The Raptor returns to Galactica with news they have made contact with the resistance on the planet.\n\nNext, the resistance plans to kill the President of the Colonies, Gaius Baltar (James Callis), who is unwillingly collaborating with the Cylons. They learn he is to attend a graduation ceremony for the New Caprica Police, an unpopular masked police force set up by the Cylons to allow the humans to police the city and do the Cylons' bidding. Tucker \"Duck\" Clellan (Christian Tessier), who has access to the ceremony and whose wife had been killed by the Cylons, agrees to suicide bomb the ceremony. Towards the end of the episode it is revealed that Baltar's aide, Felix Gaeta (Alessandro Juliani) is the informant. He learns that Baltar will not be attending the ceremony, but cannot alert the resistance in time. Duck attends the ceremony, and when Number Three (Lucy Lawless) comes to shake his hand, Duck detonates the bomb, killing everybody in the room.\n\nProduction\n\nWriting\n\n\"Occupation\", and following episode \"Precipice\" were written by series creator Ronald D. Moore. The Cylon occupation of New Caprica, and the human resistance fighting them, was inspired by wars and military occupations from history, including the Quartering Acts, World War II, and the more recent occupation in Iraq. In the original writing, Moore did not originally consider including Tigh with an eye removed until the final drafts were written. Portraying actor Michael Hogan was initially hesitant with the idea. He recalled that when the producers called him to talk about how his character would be maimed, they suggested having an eye removed. Hogan responded by laughing, and the producers assumed he agreed.\n\nWhen Anders and Tyrol detonate the bomb at the beginning of the episode, one of the Number Three (D'anna) models was to film a propaganda film in front of Laura Roslin's (Mary McDonnell) school at the time, but that was cut. Also, Jammer (Dominic Zamprogna) was originally considered the suicide bomber at the end, but was changed to Duck because he had less to live for after his wife's death. In the original drafts, the resistance was not planning suicide bombings, but \"freaking the Cylons out\" by imprisoning many of them in a secret underground prison, torture them for information, and leave them alive instead of killing them, as they would resurrect otherwise. This would make the Cylons worry about their missing comrades. However, Moore later realized that suicide bombings would be \"really potent and really powerful.\" When writing the scenes involving Duck leading to the suicide bombing, Moore got \"emotionally caught up in it,\" adding \"as I was writing these scenes of him standing in the police ranks, we know he's got the belt on. What's he gonna do? And then, oh my God, he actually does it. I mean, it's really horrifying stuff. But it's true. That's why I want to do it. It really happens. People do this.\" The producers were initially worried that the Sci Fi Channel would not allow the inclusion of the bombing scene, but to Moore's surprise, Sci Fi executive Mark Stern did not object to it.\n\nThere was some debate among the writers on when Galactica and the fleet would be brought into the story. Moore decided to reintroduce the space-bound fleet in the beginning of the third act, in order to establish the story on New Caprica, and make the audience happy and more excited to see Galactica. Moore also decided to evolve one of the Number Eight Cylon models, Sharon Agathon (Grace Park) imprisoned on board the ship, where a year would allow Sharon and Admiral Adama to form a special relationship, eventually leading to Adama releasing her and allowing her to become a Colonial officer by the next episode. Moore felt \"Occupation\" was the best season premiere of Battlestar since \"33\", the first-season premiere, believing the writers \"never quite matched\" the performance on \"33\" in the following episodes. He also felt it was a better premiere than \"Scattered\" from the second season, as it contained disparate story lines where the characters were not fully reunited with each other until a few episodes in.\n\nFilming and post-production\nThe episode began with one of the most extended recaps in the series, as the producers wanted to bring the audience up to date from the events from \"Lay Down Your Burdens\", which covered \"quite a bit of ground\" because of the large story development behind the finale. The scene where the Cylons meet in Colonial One became very tedious for the crew because several versions of the same Cylon model were used in the same shot, and the crew disliked filming on the set. Moore elaborated;\n\nThe crew had to film different versions of the prayer scene before Duck commits the suicide attack. In making the photograph of him and his late wife Nora, Emily Holmes — her actress in the webisode series The Resistance — was not available, so the producers digitally inserted her face onto the photograph. The episode includes a voiceover of Roslin detailing the occupation and resistance. This was not originally added in the final script, but was instead considered during post-production of the episode. The ending for the episode was originally Leoben presenting Starbuck with Kacey Brynn, her \"daughter,\" but for unspecified reasons, the scene was instead used for \"Precipice\".\n\nReception\n\nBroadcast and ratings\n\"Occupation\" and \"Precipice\" was originally meant to be released as two separate episodes, however the producers decided to merge them to be released as a two-hour broadcast. The reasoning was partly due to the third episode \"Exodus\", which became too long and split to a two-part episode, and the producers did not wish to stretch the New Caprica storyline to several weeks. The first 13 minutes of the episode were leaked on the Sci Fi Channel website days prior the broadcast. The two-hour season three premiere was first broadcast on the Sci Fi Channel in the United States on Friday, October 6, 2006 between 9 pm and 11 pm. After its original broadcast, the two-hour episode attracted a household rating of 1.8, equalling a total of 2.2 million viewers. Ratings were an increase of 2 per cent in total viewing from the average ratings from the second half of the second season.\n\nReviews\n\"Occupation\" received generally positive reviews from critics. Eric Goldman of IGN rated \"Occupation\" a \"masterful\" 10 out of 10, stating \"watching the season premiere of Battlestar Galactica is a great reminder that this is truly still the best show on television.\" Ian Berriman of SFX called the episode a \"stunning season opener,\" citing the similarities of the occupation of Iraq as its greatest strength, but also thought it was the episode's weakness. Berriman also liked Tigh's transformation to a \"ruthless terrorist\" and Starbuck's part of the episode. \"Occupation\" was rated five stars out of five.\n\nPatrick Sauriol of UGO started the review stating \"After the events of season two's cliffhanger, there were a hundred questions on the minds of the show's fans, but the biggest one gets answered with the Season Three double-header premiere: was the start of Season Three worth the wait or has the show jumped the shark? Answer: You better frakkin' believe that Battlestar Galactica hasn't jumped the shark.\" Sauriol commented that the time leap of a year was a \"gutsy move,\" but felt it has \"always been the case\" for the series. However, he also felt that all doubts the audience might have to harbor \"that this show won't live up to the first two seasons should be wiped away.\" Callis' performance was praised, with Sauriol stating \"again Callis proves that he owns this role and again he proves tonight why Gaius Baltar is the best character on this show.\" Sauriol graded \"Occupation\" and the following \"Precipice\" A-. Television Without Pity gave the episode a B.\n\nAwards and nominations\n\nIn 2007, the episode was nominated for a 59th Primetime Emmy Awards for \"Outstanding Writing in a Drama Series\", but lost to HBO's The Sopranos series finale \"Made in America\".

"Day Shift is a 2022 American action comedy film directed by J. J. Perry in his directorial debut, written by Tyler Tice and Shay Hatten from a story by Tice, and starring Jamie Foxx as a blue-collar father whose pool-cleaning job is a front for his work as a vampire hunter. The film also stars Dave Franco, Snoop Dogg, Natasha Liu Bordizzo, Meagan Good, Karla Souza, Steve Howey, and Scott Adkins.\n\nNetflix released Day Shift on its streaming service on August 12, 2022. The film received mixed reviews from critics.\n\nPlot \n\nBud Jablonski is a blue-collar dad who provides for his family apparently working as a pool cleaner. His real job is hunting and killing vampires.\n\nWhile at work Bud sees a man leaving the house where he's working. He silently breaks into the house where he encounters two vampires, an elderly woman and a younger man, who lives there. Following a lengthy fight, he kills the vampires and pulls out their fangs with pliers. Bud tries to sell the fangs at a pawn shop, but the prices that Troy, the owner, offers are not enough to help him with his money troubles. Bud's ex-wife Jocelyn is planning to move to Florida with their daughter, who attends a private school with high fees. In order to pay the tuition, cover his debts, and buy his daughter braces, Bud is forced to return to the vampire hunting union.\n\nBud enlists his old army friend, \"Big\" John Elliot, to help him rejoin the union. The union boss, Ralph Seeger, initially refuses, due to Bud's history of multiple code violations. He eventually is given a final chance but must work under strict conditions: He must only work the day shift, which does not pay well, and must be supervised by a union rep named Seth. Seth is tasked to look for, and report, any violations committed by Bud. Meanwhile, a vampire named Audrey finds the vampires that Bud killed. While searching for the man who killed the older of the two vampires, Audrey finds, tortures, and interrogates Troy. Before she kills him, she reveals that humans used to worship vampires as gods and plans to restore the old order by building homes and using them to establish vampire colonies so she can build an army.\n\nBud and Seth go hunting, and although Bud violates several union protocols, Seth does not report them after learning of Bud's aim to support his family with his earnings. After they find and destroy an unusual nest filled with several varieties of vampires, Audrey contacts Bud and threatens his family, revealing that the elderly vampire was her daughter. Bud rushes to his ex-wife to save her while being pursued by vampires but fails to get there in time. His family is taken hostage by Audrey, and Seth is turned into a vampire. Now set on rescuing his family, Bud and Seth recruit Bud's neighbor, an outcast vampire named Heather, to help them assault Audrey's stronghold.\n\nAt the stronghold, they are joined by Big John. During the fight, John gets bitten and chooses to sacrifice himself so that Bud can save his family. Bud is no match for Audrey's superior speed and physical strength, but through a clever trick, he gains the upper hand, kills her, and saves his family. When Seeger arrives with backup from the union and tries to use Bud's numerous violations to kick him out, Seth uses his extensive knowledge of loopholes in the union's rules to prevent him from doing so. As the Jablonski family drives away, Big John climbs out of a manhole in the street showing that he survived the explosion.\n\nCast\n\nProduction\nDay Shift is the directorial debut of second-unit director J. J. Perry. Tyler Tice wrote the script, and Shay Hatten provided a rewrite. Chad Stahelski, Jason Spitz, Jamie Foxx, Shaun Redick Yvette Yates Redick, Datari Turner, and Peter Baxter produced. Netflix announced the film on October 20, 2020, by revealing Foxx had joined the cast. Additional cast members were announced in April 2021. Principal photography was scheduled to take place in Los Angeles, California, between April 19 and August 22, 2021.\n\nTyler Bates has composed the film score. Netflix music has released the soundtrack.\n\nRelease\nDay Shift was released on Netflix on August 12, 2022.\n\nReception\nOn the review aggregator Rotten Tomatoes, 57% of 132 critics gave the film a positive review, with an average rating of 5.6/10. The critical consensus reads, \"Game stars and an appealingly goofy premise aren't enough to make up for Day Shift uninspired action-comedy hijinks.\" Metacritic gave the film a weighted average score of 51 out of 100, based on 33 critics, indicating \"mixed or average reviews\".\n\nMichael Ordoña of the Los Angeles Times called the film a \"damned delight\" and said: \"One would be tempted to call it the best horror comedy of 2022 so far, but it mixes so many genres it's more like 2022's best horror-buddy-cop-cartel-drama-bounty-hunter-martial-arts-action comedy (so far).\" Lovia Gyarkye of The Hollywood Reporter called it \"a rambunctious, strange and occasionally humorous action-thriller-comedy\".\n\nOwen Gleiberman of Variety found the film agreeable at first but \"until it starts to be just convoluted enough to give you a headache, especially when the rules are applied as inconsistently as they are here\". Peter Travers of ABC News wrote: \"A slumming Jamie Foxx is cool to the max as a vampire hunter gunning down bloodsuckers in sunny LA. But you leave this goofy but mostly godawful action-comedy feeling pummeled, beaten down by an avalanche of sound and fury signifying the usual nothing.\" Brian Lowry of CNN wrote: \"It's the kind of star-driven vehicle that yields obvious benefits to Netflix even if, qualitatively speaking, it doesn't deserve to see the light of day.\"\n\nReferences\n\nExternal links\n \n \n\n2020s English-language films\n2022 comedy horror films\n2022 directorial debut films\n2022 horror films\n2022 films\n2020s monster movies\nAmerican action comedy films\nAmerican vampire films\nAfrican-American films\nAfrican-American horror films\nEnglish-language Netflix original films\nFilms scored by Tyler Bates\nFilms shot in Los Angeles\nFilms with screenplays by Shay Hatten\n2020s American films",

"Happy Gilmore is a 1996 American sports comedy film directed by Dennis Dugan and produced by Robert Simonds. It stars Adam Sandler as the title character, an unsuccessful ice hockey player who discovers a newfound talent for golf. The screenplay was written by Sandler and his writing partner Tim Herlihy, in their second feature collaboration after the previous year's Billy Madison. The film also marks the first of multiple collaborations between Sandler and Dugan. Happy Gilmore was released in theaters on February 16, 1996, by Universal Pictures. Despite receiving mixed reviews from critics, the film was a commercial success, earning $39 million on a $12 million budget, and it won an MTV Movie Award for Best Fight for Sandler and Bob Barker.\n\nPlot\n\nHappy Gilmore is a short-tempered, unsuccessful ice hockey player whose only skills are fighting and a powerful slapshot he learned from his late father. His inability to skate limits his professional prospects. After yet another failed tryout, Happy learns that his grandmother owes the IRS $270,000 in back taxes; she has 90 days to pay off the debt or face foreclosure on her house. Happy sends his grandmother to a retirement home, where residents are secretly mistreated, until he can pay the debt.\n\nTwo movers repossessing Happy's grandmother's furniture challenge him to a long-drive contest using his grandfather's old golf clubs. With an unorthodox, slapshot-style swing, Happy hits a ball some 400 yards, winning $40 from the movers. He then decides to start hustling golfers at a driving range and meets Derick \"Chubbs\" Peterson, a former professional golf tour star who lost a hand in an alligator attack. Chubbs urges Happy to enter a local tournament where the winner will earn an automatic spot on the tour; Happy, desperate to get back his grandmother's house, agrees when Chubbs informs him of the significant prize money involved.\n\nHappy wins the local tournament and quickly becomes a fan favorite on the tour thanks to his extraordinarily long drives and unorthodox antics, such as asking the crowd to cheer during his swing instead of staying quiet. He also meets arrogant pro Shooter McGavin, the dominant player on tour, who disapproves of Happy's lack of golf etiquette. Though his driving is incredible, Happy's putting is terrible, and his profane on-course tantrums soon draw the ire of tour Commissioner Doug Thompson. Tour public relations head Virginia Venit convinces Thompson not to expel Happy from the tour, citing improved television ratings with a broader spectrum of viewers, higher attendance, and new sponsorship offers; she promises to help Happy with his anger. Happy improves his performance and behavior with Virginia's support, and the two form a romantic connection.\n\nShooter hires a heckler named Donald to taunt Happy at a Pepsi Pro-Am event in San Francisco; Happy plays poorly as a result of Donald's heckling, leading to a fistfight with his celebrity partner, Bob Barker, resulting in Happy being suspended for one month and fined $25,000 for the incident. Because of the high television ratings of the tournament, Thompson decides not to expel Happy from the tour, much to Shooter's dismay. Virginia secures Happy a lucrative endorsement deal with Subway to make up for the lost revenue, but the house is put up for auction by Shooter, who spitefully outbids Happy. Happy strikes a deal with Shooter for the upcoming Tour Championship: If Happy wins, Shooter will return the house to Happy's grandmother, but if Shooter wins, Happy will quit the tour. Knowing he must improve his short game to win, Happy seeks out Chubbs, who helps Happy improve his putting by practicing at a miniature golf course. As thanks, Happy presents Chubbs with the head of the alligator that bit off his hand, but a startled Chubbs falls out a window to his death.\n\nNow determined to win the Tour Championship for Chubbs and his grandmother, Happy plays well and leads at the end of the third round. Shooter, desperate to finally win a Tour Championship and get rid of Happy, again hires Donald, who drives a car onto the course and runs over Happy, impairing his long-drive ability and focus. Shooter takes the lead, but Happy, encouraged by his grandmother, rallies to tie him. On the 18th hole, a television tower damaged by Donald's car falls onto the green and blocks Happy's line to the hole, but Happy miraculously uses it as a Rube Goldberg machine to sink his putt for the win. Enraged, Shooter tries to steal Happy's gold jacket but is beaten by a mob of fans led by Happy's imposing ex-boss, Mr. Larson. Happy, his grandmother, his caddy, and Virginia celebrate at his grandmother's house, where Happy sees a vision of a two-handed Chubbs with Abraham Lincoln and the alligator waving to him in the heavens above.\n\nCast\n\nProduction\n\nDevelopment\nHappy Gilmore was directed by Dennis Dugan, and written by Saturday Night Live (SNL) alumni Tim Herlihy and Adam Sandler. Herlihy and Sandler were roommates in college and wrote stand-up comedy together, before moving on to screenplays. After Sandler was fired from SNL in 1995, he moved on to films. He and Herlihy wrote Billy Madison (1995), which proved successful for distributor Universal Pictures. As such, Herlihy and Sandler began a new project. In an office during a brainstorming session, they came up with a high-concept premise for a film about a \"hockey player who smacks a 400 yard drive\". Judd Apatow performed a script rewrite, although he went uncredited.\n\nThe Happy Gilmore character is loosely based on Sandler's childhood friend Kyle McDonough, who played ice hockey and would golf with Sandler as they grew up. Sandler could never hit the ball as far as McDonough, and figured that McDonough's hockey skills gave him an edge. Meanwhile, Chubbs Peterson's missing hand is an in-joke referencing actor Carl Weathers' film Predator (1987), which depicts his character losing his arm. Herlihy and Sandler included any joke that made them laugh and do not remember who came up with which, although Herlihy takes credit for Shooter McGavin's \"I eat pieces of shit like you for breakfast\" line. In a 1994 interview, Sandler cited the golf comedy Caddyshack (1980), a film he and Herlihy bonded over in college, as inspiration.\n\nFormer pro golfer Mark Lye served as a consultant on the script, and told Herlihy and Sandler after seeing their initial ideas, \"You gotta be crazy. You cannot do a movie like that.\" According to Lye, the initial drafts featured Happy winning the Masters Tournament: \"They had the green jacket. They were desecrating the USGA. Making fun of Augusta National.\" He suggested that Happy win a fictional tournament, and Herlihy and Sandler changed the jacket's color from green to gold. Lye also disliked the unrealistic nature of early drafts, which depicted Happy repeatedly making 400-yard drives, so he took the crew to a PGA Tour event so they could understand the atmosphere of golf. The final script, the one Lye gave approval, was Herlihy and Sandler's fifth draft.\n\nDugan became attached to direct through Sandler. Years earlier, Dugan had attempted to cast Sandler in one of his films, but the producers did not let him because Sandler was not well-known. \"A couple of years later, [Sandler] is big\", Dugan said. \"I wanted to be hired to direct Happy Gilmore with him. I walk in the room, and he says: 'You're the guy who wanted to give me that part. I don't need to know anything else, I want to work with you.'\" Happy Gilmore was produced on a budget of $12 million and filmed entirely at locations in British Columbia. Most scenes taking place at golf courses were filmed at Pitt Meadows at the Swan-e-set Bay Resort & Country Club, while interior shots, such as those in the broadcast booth, took place in an abandoned Vancouver hospital. Arthur Albert served as cinematographer, while Mark Lane was the set decorator. Devo frontman Mark Mothersbaugh composed the film's soundtrack.\n\nCasting\nChristopher McDonald declined the role of Shooter McGavin twice because he was tired of playing villains and wanted to spend more time with his family. Kevin Costner was approached but turned it down in favor of another 1996 golf-themed comedy, Tin Cup, while Bruce Campbell lobbied hard for the part. McDonald became interested in the role after winning a round of golf, and decided to take it after he met with Sandler. According to McDonald, Dugan \"didn't want to see the Bad Guy 101 again\" and gave McDonald the freedom to improvise on set.\n\nHappy Gilmore features appearances from Richard Kiel, known for playing Jaws in the James Bond film series; Bob Barker, the host of The Price Is Right; and Verne Lundquist, a football sportscaster.\n\nAccording to Lundquist, he filmed his scenes in the abandoned hospital as production wrapped. Sandler's New York University roommate Jack Giarraputo sat next to Lundquist in every shot, as Sandler wanted him to appear in the film. In 2016, Lundquist stated he still gets a monthly $34 check from the Screen Actors Guild for his appearance in the film.\n\nFilming\nFilming took place from July 6 to September 1, 1995, in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada.\n\nReception\n\nBox office\nHappy Gilmore was a commercial success, ranking number two at the U.S. box office on its debut weekend with $8.5 million in revenue, behind Broken Arrow. The film was made for $12 million and grossed a total of $41.2 million worldwide, with $38.8 million of that at the North American domestic box office.\n\nCritical response \n\nOn Rotten Tomatoes, Happy Gilmore has an approval rating of 62% based on 55 reviews, with an average rating of 5.9/10. The website's critics consensus reads: \"Those who enjoy Adam Sandler's schtick will find plenty to love in this gleefully juvenile take on professional golf; those who don't, however, will find it unfunny and forgettable.\" On Metacritic, the film has a weighted average score of 31 out of 100 based on 14 critics, indicating \"generally unfavorable reviews\". Audiences surveyed by CinemaScore gave the film an average grade \"B+\" on an A+ to F scale.\n\nBrian Lowry of Variety stated that \"The general tone nevertheless makes it difficult to elevate the gags beyond an occasional chuckle\". Lowry only noted a few scenes he found inspired, including the fight scene with Bob Barker and when Happy attempts to find his \"Happy Place\" which was described as \"Felliniesque\". Roger Ebert gave the film one and a half stars out of four, stating that Adam Sandler's character \"doesn't have a pleasing personality: He seems angry even when he's not supposed to be, and his habit of pounding everyone he dislikes is tiring in a PG-13 movie\". Ebert also noted the film's product placement stating that he \"probably missed a few, but I counted Diet Pepsi, Pepsi, Pepsi Max, Subway, Budweiser (in bottles, cans, and Bud-dispensing helmets), Michelob, Visa cards, Bell Atlantic, AT&T, Sizzler, Red Lobster, Wilson, Golf Digest, the ESPN sports network, and Top-Flite golf balls\". Owen Gleiberman of Entertainment Weekly gave the film a grade \"D+\" calling it \"A one-joke Caddyshack for the blitzed and jaded,\" although he did praise Sandler's confident performance.\n\nDarren Bignell of Empire wrote: \"The real surprise is that it's a lot of fun, with Sandler becoming more personable as the film progresses, and a couple of truly side-splitting scenes.\"\n\nAmong golfers\n\nThe film has developed a cult following in the golf community, with Golf.com, Consequence of Sound, and Golf Digest praising the film, predominantly praising the villain Shooter McGavin.\n\nThe \"Happy Gilmore swing\", featuring a walking or running approach, is often imitated or attempted for fun, including by touring golf professionals. Three-time major champion Pádraig Harrington is particularly well known for his impression and even uses the technique in training. The TV series Sport Science has featured Harrington's \"Happy Gilmore swing\", demonstrating how it can indeed generate additional distance, though at the cost of accuracy.\n\nLong drive champion and professional golfer Jamie Sadlowski, also a former hockey player who can hit golf balls over 400 yards, has been called \"the real-life version of Happy Gilmore\".\n\nLee Trevino regretted his appearance in the film and said he would not have done it if he had known how much swearing there would be in the movie.\n\nIn 2020, McDonald reprised his role as Shooter in the trailer for the video game PGA Tour 2K21.\n\nBob Barker fight\nThe scene with Barker beating up Gilmore increased interest in The Price Is Right among younger demographics, particularly young men. Barker said that someone in the audience asked him about Happy Gilmore almost every day. Barker parodied the Happy Gilmore fight in a 2014 episode of The Bold and the Beautiful, where he fought Wyatt Spencer after arguing with him.\n\nIn 2015, Sandler and Barker reenacted their fight for the Comedy Central Night of Too Many Stars fundraiser in aid of autism charities.\n\nThe fight scene was also highlighted in special primetime episodes of The Price Is Right, as well as various news articles that announced Barker's death on August 26, 2023 (he was 99 years old).\n\nAccolades\n\nFuture\nIn September 2022, Sandler stated that he hopes to eventually make a sequel. The actor explained that he has been creating ideas for what a follow-up movie would be, while stating the character would be involved in a senior golf tour.\n\nSee also\n List of films about ice hockey\n\nReferences\n\nExternal links\n\n \n \n \n \n \n\n1996 films\n1990s sports comedy films\nAmerican sports comedy films\nBoston Bruins\nFilms directed by Dennis Dugan\nFilms produced by Robert Simonds\nFilms shot in Vancouver\nGolf films\nUniversal Pictures films\nFilms with screenplays by Adam Sandler\nFilms with screenplays by Tim Herlihy\nFilms scored by Mark Mothersbaugh\n1996 comedy films\n1990s English-language films\nFilms set in Connecticut\n1990s American films",

"is a fictional character from Makoto Yukimura's manga series Vinland Saga. He debuted in the series' Slave Arc. A former farmer from Northern England, Einar becomes a slave when his family is killed by soldiers. He is bought by Ketil, a major landowner, to work on his large farm in southern Denmark; there, Einar is partnered Thorfinn. Across the series, Einar and Thorfinn befriend each other and share the same goals of becoming free.\n\nEinar was created by Makoto Yukimura in order to create a supporting character for the manga in order to assist Thorfinn and help him come to appreciate his vitality. The staff from the anime adaptation decided to alter part of their story but keep his characterization intact. Critical response to Einar was positive for his kind portrayal and the brotherly bond he forms with Thorfinn even at their lowest.\n\nAppearances \nEinar is an Anglo-Norse farmer from Northern England who, following attacks on his village, was sold into slavery and eventually ends up on Ketil's farm. As a result, he is outspoken in his hatred of war and injustice. Einar meets Thorfinn at Ketil's farm and the two become close friends. Einar has little skill in combat, but proves a loyal companion. As Einar and Thorfinn think about what to do once obtaining their freedom, Einar is conflicted since the woman he loves, the slave Arnheid, has no desire of leaving the farm. Eventually, Einar and Thorfinn betray Ketil's forces to help Arnheid escape with her husband but the mercenary Snake kills the man. Arnheid is brutally punished by Ketil in the next days which causes her death alongside her unborn baby. This causes Einar's rage and desire to kill Ketil but Thorfinn stops him from committing his own type of sin. Once the farm is free from Canute's might, Einar accompanies Thorfinn to his country, Iceland, where he befriends his family. Thorfinn's mother appreciates that Einar befriended her son and he becomes part of their family.\n\nIn the third arc of the manga, Einar follows Thorfinn's dream to find a land without violence or slaves as taught by Leif. This leads them to travel to Greece to obtain the money to obtain their own ship. Across their journeys, they find several allies but are targeted by Vikings who want Thorfinn. Years later, the group returns to Iceland with their new project to find Vinland. Following their arrival to Vinland, the group befriends natives through Thorfinn's leadership.\n\nCreation\nManga artist Makoto Yukimura created Einar to support protagonist Thorfinn during the second arc of Vinland Saga in a similar fashion to Askeladd from the first arc. With the focus of Vinland Saga being slavery, Einar was created to be a complete victim of the war and slave trade. The manga author created a character who represented the victim of the slave trade and was an original character rather than one based on real life like Thorfinn or Leif. Einar represents \"the pain and sorrow, and victimhood of war\". He cannot be a strongly built person. As a result, he serves as the opposite of Gardar, another slave but with more strength.\n\nEinar and Thorfinn form a close relationship but they have several differences in regards to their pasts that they can rarely help each other. Across several things Thorfinn does in the manga, one of them was learning the effects of revenge and how it affects others. According to Yukimura, Einar is useless when Thorfinn is fighting as they don't have the same dynamic often seen in action series like One Piece. Yukimura still wanted to show Einar's courage and friendship to the protagonist and wonders if he hit the spot. According to Yukimura There is no way Einar does not have anger towards violence. Having his family killed and enslaved. Still, it did not become \"all warriors are enemies\" or \"all Danes are enemies\". This leads to the character nearly losing his sanity and hope the anime adaptation would improve on it.\n\nDirector Shūhei Yabuta and writer Hiroshi Seko had a strong impression of Einar when first reading the manga and had no idea where did his strength come from. Upon discussing, they decided to change the way in which the Einar becomes Thorfinn's friend. They found it the key factor for the appeal of the anime's second season which led to several hours of planning. Yukimura kept reading the script as a result of their pressure from their work and looked forward to their portrayal. Despite several changes, Yabuta insisted that Einar was the same character featured in the manga. New scenes were added to explore more their friendship. Yabuta described Einar as softspoken, kind and strong but even in the cruel setting of the series, he retains his kindness. \n\nYabuta kept talking with Yukimura about how they should write Einar which led him to find the character realistic. Yukimura was surprised when talking with Yabuta about Einar's character to the point he realized that he might be superhuman-like. Yabuta found this level of strength in Einar upon seeing how he is able to live as a slave and befriend Thorfinn without problems.\n\nPortrayal \nAccording to Yukimura, the strength of Einaru's vitality is really evident in his voice. Shunsuke Takeuchi voice was praised by the manga artist for being \"powerful\" and \"youthful\", giving emotional strength. With the release of the fourth episode of the series' second season, Yukimura was surprised by the handling of the character and looked forward to more of these in the series. Takeuchi said there were several psychological overviews in regards to his role and found him important for the impact he has on Thorfinn to the point he considers him the axis of the story. Initially, he viewed Einar as a man who hates warriors which made their interactions hard to do. Takeuchi met Thorfinn's Japanese actor Yuto Uemura to discuss together the story which he enjoyed doing and made look more forward to his own work.\n\nIn retrospect, Takeuchi chose the scene in episode 10 where Einar and Thorfinn talk about Einar's soon-to-be enslavement. He praised MAPPA's anime adaptation as he claims it is a normal scene despite having depths of life. Yubata agreed that this scene was written to be calm, and properly depict the relationship between two people and their inner lives.\n\nIan Sinclair voices him in the Crunchyroll dub, and Alejandro Saab in the Netflix dub.\n\nReception \nUpon his introduction in the anime's second season, several writers from Anime News Network praised Reinar's backstory for violent it is, fitting with the elements of violent displayed in the first season. UK Anime Network praised the relationship of Einar and Thorfinn as they become friends and help each other in quiet moments. Manga News enjoyed Einar's kindness as he manages to give Thorfinn comfort for the first time in his life since his father's death. The bond the two grow and the wisdom they receive from Ketil's father was also the subject of praise. Anime News Network found the early depiction of Einar as relatable due to his desire to earn freedom which causes him to contrast Thorfinn who barely expresses care about his status as a slave. Similarly, Espinof found the character relatable and promising for how he is the subject of violence and whether or he might have a big role.\n\nAccording to Escapist Magazine, Einar is part of the cycle of violence and revenge the series portrays as a theme due to how the anime further shows the downfall of his family at the hands of Vikings and starts hating warriors. While this initially causes his anger towards Thorfinn for being a former warriors, his avoidance from attacking him marks a departure of the theme in the series and, most notably, in Thorfinn. Decider saw Einar as the opposite of Thorfinn due to their contrasting pasts and how both are their lowest when the second arc of the anime begins. In regards to Shunsuke Takeuchi's talent as a voice actor, Decider commented that Takeuchi is skilled at delivering several lines he has it difficult to being a protagonist. When Ketil welcomes Einar to his farm as a slave, Decider saw the moment as humillating due to how Ketil different is the first episode with his memories about his family.\n\nWhen first hearing that the Vinland Saga would focus on slavery, manga artist Hajime Isayama, famous for writing Attack on Titan, became interested in reading Vinland Saga. He was confused by the portrayal of Thorfinn for having become too silent to the point he did not understand him. As a result, he instead related more with Einar as he found him more realisitc especially because it is from Einar's point of view that Thorfinn matures as a person when the two are working together in the farm.\n\nReferences \n\nComics characters introduced in 2009\nMale characters in anime and manga\nMale characters in television\nFictional English people\nFictional Scandinavian people\nFictional farmers\nFictional slaves",

"He's on Duty () is a 2010 South Korean 2010 black comedy film that comically yet incisively depicts racial issues in Korea. Tae-sik finds it difficult to get a job due to his odd appearance and impatient character. After failing repeatedly, he disguises himself as a foreigner and finally lands a job. Tae-sik, however, witnesses the cruel treatment migrant workers face in Korea.\n\nThe Korean title is a pun on the lead character's name and is an abbreviated form of 반갑습니다 (bangabseumnida) or 반가워요 (bangawoyo) which translates to \"Delighted? Delighted!\" or \"Nice to meet you.\"\n\nPlot\nBang Tae-sik is perennially unemployed as he drifts from one job to another, from manual labor to serving coffee. His appearance (dark skin and short height), being rather atypical for a Korean is to blame it seems, but best buddy Yong-cheol persuades Tae-sik to make better use of these disadvantages: Desperate and having nothing better to do, he adopts a strange accent and ethnic hat and is reborn as Bang-ga (a twist on his family name) from Bhutan, and immediately lands a job at a chair manufacturing factory.\n\nDespite a shaky beginning ― due to his unredeemable clumsiness, rather than doubts about his alleged Bhutani roots that are all too convincing ― Tae-sik gets along with his co-workers, and even starts romancing the lovely Jang-mi from Vietnam. He is even voted to become president of a migrant workers labor union and competent Korean language instructor, and joins in a harmonious effort to win a local singing competition for foreigners.\n\nTae-sik begins to truly bond with his co-workers but his loyalties are put to the test when Yong-cheol finds a way to swindle their money.\n\nCast\nKim In-kwon as Bang Tae-sik / Bang-ga\nKim Jung-tae as Yong-cheol \nShin Hyun-bin as Jang-mi \nKhan Mohammad Asaduzzman as Ali \nNazarudin as Rajah \nPeter Holman as Charlie \nEshonkulov Parviz as Michael \nJeon Gook-hwan as Boss Hwang \nKim Kang-hee as Miss Hong \nKim Bo-min as Hye-young \nPark Yeong-soo as Park Kwan-sang\nJung Tae-won as Dan-poong\n\nAwards and nominations\n2010 Korean Film Awards\nNomination - Best Supporting Actor: Kim Jung-tae\nNomination - Best New Actress: Shin Hyun-bin\nNomination - Best Screenplay: Yook Sang-hyo\nNomination - Best Music: Shin Hyung\n\n2011 Baeksang Arts Awards\nBest New Actress: Shin Hyun-bin\nBest Screenplay: Yook Sang-hyo\n\n2011 Buil Film Awards\nBest Screenplay: Yook Sang-hyo\n\nReferences\n\nExternal links\n \n\n2010s Korean-language films\n2010 black comedy films\nSouth Korean black comedy films\nFilms about immigration\nFilms about racism\n2010s South Korean films",
"Kim Dotcom (né Schmitz; born 21 January 1974), also known as Kimble and Kim Tim Jim Vestor, is a German-Finnish Internet entrepreneur and political activist who lives in Glenorchy, New Zealand. \n\nHe rose to fame in Germany in the 1990s as a hacker and an Internet entrepreneur who took advantage of reporters' lack of technical credibility. He was arrested in 1994 for trafficking in stolen phone calling card numbers. He was convicted on 11 charges of computer fraud, 10 charges of data espionage and various other charges in 1998 that he served a two-year suspended sentence for. In 2003, he was deported to Germany where he pleaded guilty to embezzlement in November 2003 and after five months in jail awaiting trial he received another 20 months suspended sentence.\n\nDotcom is the founder and former CEO of the defunct file hosting service Megaupload (2005–2012). In 2012, the United States Department of Justice seized its website and pressed charges against Dotcom, including criminal copyright infringement, money laundering, racketeering and wire fraud. Dotcom was residing in New Zealand at the time; at the request of US authorities, New Zealand police raided his home in 2012 and arrested him. Dotcom posted bail and initiated legal proceedings in order to prevent his extradition to the United States.\n\nIn 2017, a New Zealand court ruled that Dotcom could be extradited to the US on fraud charges related to Megaupload. Dotcom denied any wrongdoing and has accused US authorities of pursuing a vendetta against him on behalf of politically influential Hollywood studios. In 2018, the New Zealand Court of Appeal upheld the lower court's ruling. Dotcom appealed to the Supreme Court of New Zealand, which ruled in 2020 that Dotcom could be extradited to the United States, but that he could challenge the decision through a judicial review.\n\nIn 2013, Dotcom launched another cloud storage service called Mega, although he severed all ties with the service in 2015. He also started and funded the Internet Party. The party contested the 2014 New Zealand general election under an electoral alliance with the Mana Movement and contested the 2017 general election independently, but failed to win any seats at either election.\n\nIn 2017, Dotcom played a role in spreading conspiracy theories about the murder of Seth Rich.\n\nEarly life\n\nDotcom was born Kim Schmitz in 1974 in Kiel in the north of Germany in what was then politically West Germany. His mother was Finnish, from Turku, so he holds a Finnish passport and has siblings in Finland. His father was German. He legally changed his surname to Dotcom in 2005.\n\nPrior to his arrest in New Zealand, he enjoyed a luxurious life. In 2001, his main source of income was a company called Kimvestor, and he was known for spending his money on expensive cars and boats. During the 2000 Monaco Formula One Grand Prix, Dotcom chartered a yacht and used it to host parties for guests such as Prince Rainier of Monaco.\n\nHe was granted permanent residence in New Zealand on 29 November 2010. While his residency was under consideration, Dotcom was planning a fireworks show in Auckland at a cost of NZ$600,000. He leased a mansion in Coatesville, a rural community near Auckland, owned by entrepreneurs Richard and Ruth Bradley, and considered one of the most expensive homes in the country. He wanted to buy the mansion when the lease expired.\n\nBefore his arrest in New Zealand, he was the world's number-one-ranked Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 player out of more than 15 million online players.\n\nPersonal life\nIn 2007, Dotcom met Mona Verga and married her on 10 July 2009. Dotcom had one child from a previous relationship, who was born in September 2007. Dotcom and Verga had four children together, all using IVF treatment. The couple's first child together was born in 2009. Their second child together was born in 2010. Verga gave birth to twin girls in Auckland in March 2012, a month after he was released on bail from Mt Eden prison. On 17 May 2014, Dotcom announced on Twitter that he was separated from his wife Mona and was filing for divorce. Four days earlier, Mona had left her directorship positions in the Dotcom family's companies.\n\nIn November 2017, Dotcom announced he would marry his fiancée, Elizabeth Donnelly, on 20 January 2018; the anniversary of the raid during which he was arrested. They had been dating for two years and in 2017 moved to Queenstown to live. Their first child together was born in November 2022. This was Dotcom's sixth child, also conceived using IVF.\n\nLegal investigations\n\nGermany \nAs a teenager, Schmitz acquired a reputation in his native country of Germany after saying that he had bypassed the security of NASA, the Pentagon and Citibank under the name of Kimble, derived from Richard Kimble, a character in the 1963 TV series The Fugitive. Some of these hacks are disputed. He also stated that he had hacked corporate PBX systems in the United States and said he was selling the access codes.\n\nSchmitz operated a bulletin board system called \"House of Coolness\" where users would trade pirated software; around 1993, Schmitz was reportedly targeted by German anti-piracy lawyer Günter von Gravenreuth, and had become a paid informant. Schmitz was arrested in March 1994 for selling stolen phone numbers and held in custody for a month. He was arrested again in 1998 on more hacking charges and convicted of 11 counts of computer fraud and 10 counts of data espionage. He was given a two-year suspended sentence; the judge of the case described Schmitz's actions as \"youthful foolishness\".\n\nIn 2001, Schmitz bought €375,000 worth of shares of the nearly bankrupt company and subsequently announced his intention to invest €50 million in the company. The announcement caused the share value of Letsbuyit.com to jump, resulting in a €1.5 million profit for Schmitz.\n\nThailand \nDotcom moved to Thailand to avoid investigation, but was arrested there at the request of the German embassy. In response, he allegedly pretended to kill himself online and declared through his website that he wished to be known as \"His Royal Highness King Kimble the First, Ruler of the Kimpire\". He was deported back to Germany where he pleaded guilty to embezzlement in November 2003 and, after five months in jail awaiting trial, again received a suspended sentence, this time of 20 months. After avoiding a prison sentence for a second time, he left Germany and moved to Hong Kong in late 2003.\n\nHong Kong \nDotcom found Hong Kong to his liking and registered Kimpire Limited in December 2003, soon after moving there. He set up a network of interlinked companies, including Trendax, which he said was an artificial intelligence-driven hedge fund. However, Trendax was never registered with Hong Kong's Securities and Futures Commission and the company was not legally allowed to accept investments or to conduct trades. After moving to New Zealand, Dotcom didn't disclose his investment activity to the Securities and Futures Commission and was fined HK$8,000.\n\nMove to New Zealand \nDotcom visited New Zealand for 10 days in December 2008 and again for two months in 2009. He applied for residency and received it in November 2010. Immigration New Zealand made its decision on his application, despite his foreign convictions and despite his persona non grata status in Thailand, after officials used a special direction to waive \"good character\" requirements. Warwick Tuck, head of Immigration New Zealand, said that Dotcom had been granted residency as an \"investor plus\", or someone who invested $10 million in New Zealand.\n\nDespite granting him residency, Immigration New Zealand expressed concern that their decision might attract criticism that they had allowed Dotcom to buy his way into the country and attempted to keep it secret. Dotcom's residency status subsequently became the subject of intense media speculation when it came to light that Auckland mayor John Banks had become involved and that New Zealand's intelligence services had spied on him—an act made illegal by Dotcom's possession of residency in New Zealand. Immigration New Zealand officers judged Dotcom's convictions in Hong Kong to be too minor to consider deporting him.\n\nOn his residency application of 3 June 2010, Dotcom erroneously denied having been convicted of dangerous driving; he had pled guilty to dangerous driving north of Auckland in September 2009. The media speculated at the time that this could provide grounds for deportation.\n\nInvolvement with Auckland mayor John Banks \nJohn Banks met Dotcom when Banks was Mayor of Auckland City. He asked Dotcom for help putting on a fireworks display in the city's harbour. Banks later attended a New Year's Eve party thrown by Dotcom at the city centre apartment of now bankrupt property developer David Henderson. He said it provided a great view of the fireworks display detonated over the Waitematā Harbour. Banks said he had advised Dotcom on how to obtain permission from the Overseas Investment Office to buy the Coatesville mansion.\n\nOn 28 April 2012, Dotcom revealed he had donated $50,000 to John Banks' mayoralty campaign in 2010 and that Banks had asked him to split the donation in two, allowing the Banks campaign to claim them as anonymous by falling within the anonymous limit of $25,000. In 2014, Banks was found guilty of filing a false electoral return, with evidence from Dotcom playing a major part in the case. This conviction was subsequently overturned on appeal following the discovery of new evidence, and a planned retrial was later cancelled and a verdict of acquittal entered.\n\nAmong Dotcom's revelations was a phone call from Banks, thanking him for the contribution. Dotcom subsequently recorded a song titled Amnesia, which mocks John Banks and the controversy of Dotcom's donation to him. A poll in October 2012 found the New Zealand public had a more favourable view of Kim Dotcom than of Banks.\n\nMegaupload arrest and extradition proceedings \n\nIn February 2003, Dotcom set up Data Protect Limited, but changed the name to Megaupload in 2005. He was the chief executive officer. Megaupload was an online file hosting and sharing service in which users could share links to files for viewing or editing, much of it pirated. Eventually it had over 150 employees, US$175 million revenues, and 50 million daily visitors. At its peak Megaupload was estimated to be the 13th most popular site on the Internet and responsible for 4% of all Internet traffic.\n\nOn 5 January 2012, indictments were filed in Virginia in the United States against Dotcom and other company executives with crimes including racketeering, conspiring to commit copyright infringement, and conspiring to commit money laundering. Two weeks later (20 January), Kim Dotcom, Finn Batato, Mathias Ortmann and Bram van der Kolk were arrested in Coatesville, New Zealand, by New Zealand Police, in an armed raid on Dotcom's house involving 76 officers and two helicopters. Seized assets included eighteen luxury cars, large TVs, works of art and US$175 million in cash. Dotcom's bank accounts were frozen denying him access to 64 bank accounts world-wide, including BNZ and Kiwibank accounts in New Zealand, government bonds and money from numerous PayPal accounts.\n\nDotcom was remanded to Mt Eden Prison and alleged poor treatment by the authorities. On 22 February, North Shore District Court Judge Nevin Dawson overturned previous rulings and released Dotcom on bail, reasoning that Dotcom had neither the ability nor desire to flee the country.\n\nHigh Court \nOn 28 June 2012, High Court of New Zealand Justice Helen Winkelmann found that the warrants used to seize Dotcom's property were illegal because they were too broad. The Crown later admitted that it was aware that it was using the wrong order while the raid was in progress and that Dotcom should have been given the chance to challenge the seizure. It also admitted to giving seized hard drives to the FBI, who made copies of them in New Zealand and then sent them back to the US. Justice Winkelmann ruled that the handing of hard drives seized by New Zealand police in the raid to the FBI, and the copying of data on them by the FBI, was illegal.\n\nAs a result of those rulings, Justice Judith Potter allowed Dotcom to withdraw approximately NZ$6 million (US$4.8 million) on 28 August 2012 of his seized assets, and to sell nine of his cars. The amount released was to cover $2.6 million in existing legal bills, $1 million in future costs, and another $1 million in rent on his New Zealand mansion.\n\nCourt of Appeal \nIn May 2012, a district court judge ruled that the FBI should hand over all its evidence against Dotcom relating to the extradition bid. The Crown appealed, but the ruling was upheld by the High Court. The Crown appealed again and in March 2013, the Court of Appeal quashed the previous court decisions. Crown lawyer John Pike, on behalf of the US Government, argued that the district court had no power to make disclosure decisions in an extradition case and that \"disclosure was extensive and could involve billions of emails\". The Court of Appeal agreed stating that extradition hearings were not trials and the full protections and procedures for criminal trials did not apply. Dotcom's lawyer, Paul Davison, QC, appealed to the Supreme Court. In May 2013, the Supreme Court agreed to hear the case, so it will make the final decision on whether Dotcom should receive all the FBI investigation files before the extradition hearing.\n\nA series of subsequent court decisions delayed every attempt to hold a hearing focused on extradition. In March 2013, Dotcom won a Court of Appeal ruling allowing him to sue the GCSB, rejecting the attorney's-general appeal against a ruling in December 2012. A month later, Dotcom appeared in court again, seeking compensation from police over the raid on his house, which earlier had been deemed illegal.\n\nConfidential settlement with police \nIn November 2017, Dotcom and his former wife Mona accepted a confidential settlement from the police over the raid. The settlement came after a damages claim was filed with the High Court over the \"unreasonable\" use of force when the anti-terrorism Special Tactics Group raided his mansion in January 2012. Settlements have already been reached between police and Bram van der Kolk and Mathias Ortmann, who were also arrested. The New Zealand Herald reported that their settlements were six-figure sums and \"it is likely Dotcom would seek more as the main target in the raid\". Commenting on the settlement, Dotcom said: \"We were shocked at the uncharacteristic handling of my arrest for a non-violent Internet copyright infringement charge brought by the United States, which is not even a crime in New Zealand\".\n\nSupreme Court \nIn February 2014, the New Zealand Court of Appeal deemed the raids on Kim Dotcom to be legal but not the FBI's taking of information. Dotcom appealed this decision to the Supreme Court. In December four of the five judges agreed with the Court of Appeal that the raid was legal and ordered Dotcom to pay $35,000 costs. Chief Justice Sian Elias dissented, saying there had been a miscarriage of justice as the search warrant was too broad.\n\nA month before the Supreme Court decision, Dotcom's legal team quit after he had spent $10 million on his defence, financed the Internet Party, then run out of money. When the US tried to have his bail revoked, a new lawyer, Ron Mansfield, helped keep him out of prison. In December 2014, events took another turn when the High Court in Hong Kong ruled that the United States \"did not have a clear path to serve a legal summons on Dotcom's filesharing company\" and he could take a case to get back $60 million seized by authorities there. In making this decision, Judge Tallentire said, \"No one can say when that process of extradition will be completed given the appeal paths open to the various accused. Indeed, no one can say if it will ever be completed\".\n\nPolitical fallout \nAfter his arrest by the New Zealand police in January 2012, Dotcom had an ongoing dispute with Prime Minister John Key about when Key had first become aware of Dotcom. Dotcom argued that Key had been involved in a plan to allow him into New Zealand so that he could then be extradited to the US to face copyright charges. Key had consistently said he had never heard of Dotcom until the day before the New Zealand police raid on his mansion in Coatesville.\n\nApology for illegal spying on Dotcom \nOn 24 September 2012, Key revealed that, at the request of the police, the New Zealand Government Communications Security Bureau (GCSB) had spied on Dotcom to help police locate him and monitor his communications in the weeks prior to the raid on his house. The GCSB are not allowed to spy on New Zealand citizens or permanent residents; Dotcom, though not a citizen, had been granted permanent residency. Three days later, Key apologized for the illegal spying.\n\nApplication for damages \nIn December 2012, Chief High Court judge Helen Winkelmann ordered the GCSB to \"confirm all entities\" to which it gave information. This also allowed Dotcom to sue the Crown for damages. The Crown appealed Justice Winkelmann's decision, but in March 2013, the Court of Appeal upheld the High Court's decision. Dotcom was unable to access the information, but Stuart Grieve QC, who was appointed as a Special Advocate, was given access. Dotcom argued in the Court of Appeal that there had been judicial miscarriage, but the court ruled in favour of the GCSB. Dotcom next sought leave to appeal to the Supreme Court but in February 2020, it rejected his appeal and ordered him to pay the GCSB NZ$2,500.\n\nMedia reaction \nThe mistakes by authorities attracted widespread media coverage and Key's handling of the affair was criticised by opposition parties in Parliament. Political commentator Bryce Edwards criticised the GCSB's involvement and described the prosecution of Dotcom as \"the stuff of farce\". The Sunday Star-Times commentator Richard Boock compared the Dotcom saga to Watergate and suggested it might eventually 'bring down' John Key. The story made headlines overseas, including in the Wall Street Journal, New York Times, The Guardian, and the Hollywood Reporter which specialises in legal and entertainment issues.\n\nInternet Party\n\nIn September 2013, Dotcom revealed he aspired to enter New Zealand politics. On 27 March 2014, Dotcom founded the Internet Party. In May 2014, it was announced that the Internet Party would form a political alliance with the Mana Party, led by local activist and sitting Member of Parliament Hone Harawira. The deal was brokered to serve the Mana Party financially, with the combined structure's political campaign in the 2014 general election being primarily funded by Dotcom. In contrast, the fledgling Internet Party was to benefit from the possibility of seats in parliament in the event that the combined structure were to achieve a greater percentage of the country's vote, helped along by the Mana Party's existing seat. Due to his citizenship status, Dotcom was ineligible to become a member of parliament, and Laila Harré, a veteran of left-wing politics and trade unions, was chosen as leader of the Internet Party.\n\nThe Moment of Truth\n\nOn 16 September 2014, Dotcom held an event in the Auckland Town Hall five days before the election in which he promised to provide \"absolute proof\" that Prime Minister John Key knew about him long before he was arrested. The event was billed as the \"Moment of Truth\" and included the release of what was claimed to be an email, dated 27 October 2010 from Kevin Tsujihara, the chief executive of Warner Bros. to a senior executive at the Motion Picture Association of America – the lobby group for the Hollywood studios. The New Zealand Herald, which broke the story, contacted Warner Bros., who said the email was a fake.\n\nIn the 2014 general election, the joint Internet Party and Mana Movement gained 1.42% of the nationwide party vote but failed to win any seats. Dotcom, who was not a candidate because he is not a New Zealand citizen, sank NZ$3.5 million into the Internet Party, the largest personal contribution to a political party on record in New Zealand, according to the national Electoral Commission. \"I take full responsibility for this loss tonight\", Dotcom told reporters as election results became clear, \"because the brand—the brand Kim Dotcom—was poison for what we were trying to achieve\". The Serious Fraud Office investigated the email and determined that it was a forgery.\n\nThe media criticised Dotcom for \"failing to deliver\" at the Moment of Truth after saying for three years that he could prove John Key had lied in relation to his copyright case. After the election, in which the Internet Mana alliance failed to win a seat, public support for Dotcom seemed to dissipate. Dotcom said in January 2015 he had become such \"a pariah\" in New Zealand that he might as well leave the country.\n\n2017 general election\nThe party remained leaderless until 8 February 2017, when Suzie Dawson was appointed as its new leader for the 2017 general election. The Mana connection was dropped and the party contended as the single entity the Internet Party. The Internet Party ran 8 party list candidates. The party won only 499 votes (0.0%) and failed to win any seats in the New Zealand House of Representatives.\n\nThe Internet Party was deregistered on 12 June 2018 because its membership had dropped below the 500 required for registration.\n\nExtradition\n\nDistrict court\nAfter three years' legal wrangling, involving two supreme court cases and 10 separate delays in the proceedings, extradition proceedings finally got underway in an Auckland court on 21 September 2015.\n\nThe wrangling continued at the hearing with Dotcom and his colleagues saying that they were unable to present a proper defence because the US had threatened to seize any funds they try to spend on international experts in Internet copyright issues. Dotcom's American lawyer, Ira Rothken, said they would need about US$500,000 to get evidence from the appropriate experts. Harvard Law professor Lawrence Lessig, an international expert in copyright and fair use, provided his written opinion for free. He said there were no legal grounds to extradite Dotcom and the allegations and evidence made public by the US Department of Justice \"do not meet the requirements necessary to support a prima facie case that would be recognised by United States federal law\".\n\nOnce the hearing finally got under way, Crown prosecutor Christine Gordon, on behalf of the US Government, called it a \"simple scheme of fraud\". Defence Lawyer Ron Mansfield's 300-page submission began with the argument that the case should be thrown out because the United States Supreme Court ruled in a parallel case in 1982 that copyright infringement was a civil matter and could not be prosecuted as criminal fraud.\n\nThe Crown also made numerous references to intercepted Skype conversations between Dotcom and his co-defendants. Christine Gordon said one message written by Dotcom, when translated from German, read: \"At some point a judge will be convinced about how evil we are and then we are in trouble.\" Mr Mansfield said this sentence was used repeatedly by Ms Gordon during her submission \"with the knowledge that it would make international media headlines\". Mansfield had the passage translated by three independent academics who said it had a very different meaning and should read: \"At some stage a judge will be talked into how bad we allegedly are and then it will be a mess.\"\n\nOn 23 December 2015, North Shore District Court Judge Nevin Dawson announced that Dotcom and the three other Megaupload co-founders were eligible for extradition. He said the US had a \"large body of evidence\" which supported a prima facie case. An immediate appeal was lodged by Dotcom's lawyer.\n\nHigh Court \nIn February 2017, the New Zealand High Court upheld the earlier decision of the district court that Dotcom and his three co-accused could be extradited to the United States. However, Justice Murray Gilbert accepted the argument made by Dotcom's legal team that he and his former Megaupload colleagues cannot be extradited because of copyright infringement. The judge said he made this decision because: \"online communication of copyright protected works to the public is not a criminal offence in New Zealand\". However, Justice Gilbert said there were \"general criminal law fraud provisions\" in New Zealand law which covered the actions of the accused and they could be extradited on that basis.\n\nDotcom saw this decision as a major victory saying: \"The major part of this litigation has been won by this judgement - that copyright is not extraditable.\" The ruling opened the door to further appeals because the warrant which was served on him when he was arrested on 20 January 2012, stated he was being charged specifically with \"copyright\" offences. Both sides are expected to challenge aspects of the ruling before the New Zealand Court of Appeal and eventually the Supreme Court.\n\nCourt of Appeal \nOn 5 July 2018, the New Zealand Court of Appeal upheld the High Court's decision that Dotcom and the three co-accused could be extradited to the United States. In particular, the Court, disagreeing with Justice Gilbert, found that, even during the time of Megaupload's operations, it is a criminal offence in New Zealand to possess digital copyrighted works with an intention to disseminate them. Accordingly, Dotcom and his co-accused could be extradited on the basis of copyright infringement to stand trial in the United States. Dotcom's lawyer said that he would appeal the ruling to the Supreme Court. In June 2019, Dotcom began \"a final appeal to halt his extradition from New Zealand to the US\".\n\nSupreme Court \nOn 4 November 2020, the Supreme Court of New Zealand ruled that Dotcom could be extradited to the United States to face 12 criminal copyright-related charges. However, the Supreme Court also ruled that he and three other co-defendants could challenge the decision through a judicial review. In addition, the Supreme Court ruled that the High Court and Court of Appeal had been wrong not to consider their application for a judicial review of the original district court decision in 2015 that had first ruled in favour of extradition. Dotcom's lawyer Ron Mansfield described the judgment as a \"mixed bag\", stating that the Supreme Court had accepted there were \"serious procedural issues\" while warning that the Court's rejection of Megaupload's \"safe harbour\" defence would have \"an immediate and chilling impact\" on the Internet.\n\n, Dotcom continued fighting his extradition, with no end to the legal battle in sight.\n\nOn US involvement in his arrest \nDotcom claimed to be a legitimate businessman who has been persecuted by the United States government and industry trade groups such as the RIAA and Motion Picture Association of America (MPAA). He blames former US President Barack Obama for colluding with Hollywood to orchestrate his arrest and has spoken out against his negative portrayal in the media. In regard to the illegal spying conducted by GCSB, Dotcom said they were not spying to find out where he was. In May 2013, Dotcom released a 39-page white paper alleging that the US government persecuted him at the behest of Hollywood, in exchange for support for Obama.\n\nSpeculation about Hollywood's role in Dotcom's arrest grew when, in September 2012, Key made a four-day visit to meet top studio executives. Key said the trip was intended to promote New Zealand as a good country to produce films, but he was planning to meet with the MPAA, which had described Dotcom as \"a career criminal\".\n\nIn November 2013, The New Zealand Herald journalist David Fisher published The Secret Life of Kim Dotcom: Spies, Lies and the War for the Internet.\n\nSeth Rich conspiracy theory \n\nIn late May 2017, Dotcom posted statements on Twitter and his website claiming he worked with Seth Rich on the Internet Party and had proof that Rich was the source of the 2016 Democratic National Committee email leak. In tweets, Dotcom claimed to be involved with Seth Rich as WikiLeaks source. Dotcom said he was willing to provide written testimony to the US Congress and that he was willing to provide evidence to US special counsel Robert Mueller if his safe passage from New Zealand to the United States was guaranteed. Seth Rich's family issued a statement calling Dotcom's statements \"ridiculous, manipulative, and non-credible\" and their spokesman Brad Bauman tweeted to Dotcom that \"you have an agenda or are a sociopath\".\n\nDotcom tweeted an alleged FBI file about Seth Rich, warning that it might be fake. He later agreed it was fake, but said there was no need to delete the tweet since he had issued a warning soon after posting it that the file could be fake.\n\nSeth Rich's Gmail account received an emailed invitation from Mega, a file sharing service started by Dotcom following the seizure of Megaupload, but for which he had not worked for years. According to experts and Rich's family, the emailed invitation from welcome@mega.nz appeared to be an attempt to access Rich's email. David Weigel of The Washington Post wrote that Rich's family \"worried that Dotcom, or someone eager to prove him right, may have been willing to create a fake archive of emails from Rich, or crack a password to see whether Rich had passed on documents with a Mega account\".\n\nOther activities \nFollowing the September 11 attacks in the United States, Dotcom launched a group called Young Intelligent Hackers Against Terrorism (YIHAT). He said that he had hacked Sudanese bank accounts belonging to Osama Bin Laden and offered a $10 million reward for information leading to Osama's capture on his now-defunct kimble.org site.\n\nDotcom participated in a mock funeral procession for public broadcaster TVNZ 7 in downtown Auckland, on the day of its final broadcast. He had warmed to one of its more notable shows, Media7, for its championing of Internet freedom and had been interviewed on the show at least once.\n\nIn February 2012, Lindsey Stirling released \"Lord of The Rings Medley,\" a music video funded by Dotcom.\n\nIn June 2012, Dotcom announced the upcoming launch of Megabox, a music streaming service. That October, he said that Megabox would launch on 19 January 2013, the first anniversary of Megaupload's shutdown.\n\nIn August 2012, Dotcom teased an upcoming album with the release of a song titled Party Amplifier. Dotcom was already in the process of recording the album with friend and producer, Printz Board (who wrote Yes We Can for Barack Obama's 2008 election campaign), when he was arrested. Printz and Dotcom recorded more than 20 songs at Neil Finn's Roundhead Studios in Newton, Auckland – one of which is called Mr President – an electronica protest song against Barack Obama.\n\nOn 2 November, Dotcom announced a new file storage service, similar to Megaupload, using the domain name me.ga. It was to be launched 19 January 2013, but the African state of Gabon, which controls the .ga domain, cancelled the me.ga name on 6 November 2012. The site has since registered the names mega.co.nz and mega.net.nz. The new file hosting service offers file encryption to enhance user privacy and security. As a result of this encryption, Dotcom and mega.co.nz will not know of the content of the uploaded data, allowing for the claim of plausible deniability to be made should new charges arise. In January 2013, Dotcom offered a $13,500 reward to anyone able to defeat the site's security system.\n\nDotcom has been involved in the local community in Auckland. In December 2012, he announced that he would be playing the part of Santa Claus in the play MegaChristmas, run by Auckland's Basement Theatre. In a local ceremony on the first of that month, he turned on the Franklin Road Christmas lights and delivered a speech before the display.\n\nOn 4 September 2013, Kim Dotcom stepped down as director of Mega and announced he was working on a music streaming service called Baboom. Dotcom says it will be more advanced than Megabox.\n\nOn 10 September 2013, Dotcom announced that he would play 100 people in Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 at New Zealand's first Digital Entertainment Expo.\n\nOn 25 December 2014, Dotcom helped stop the Christmas DDoS attacks on Xbox Live and PlayStation Network by giving Lizard Squad 3,000 $99 one year MEGA accounts which would then be converted to lifetime accounts worth approximately $300,000.\n\nIn 2017, the biographical documentary Kim Dotcom: Caught in the Web, directed by Annie Goldson, premiered at the New Zealand International Film Festival.\n\nIn November 2019, Kim Dotcom was going to launch his own cryptocurrency, but due to regulatory uncertainty, the offer was cancelled.\n\nDuring the Russo-Ukrainian War, Dotcom has repeatedly spread anti-Ukrainian fakes, as well as far-right and Russian government propaganda.\n\nDiscography\n\nAlbums\n\nSingles \n\"Megaupload\" (2011)\n\"Mr President\" (2012)\n\"Precious\" (2012)\n\"Good Life\" (2016)\n\nReferences\n\nExternal links \n\n \n\n \n1974 births\nLiving people\nBusinesspeople from Kiel\nGerman software engineers\nFinnish software engineers\nGerman fraudsters\nGerman computer criminals\n20th-century German criminals\n21st-century German criminals\nGerman male criminals\nFinnish fraudsters\n20th-century Finnish criminals\n21st-century Finnish criminals\nFinnish male criminals\nPrivacy activists\nPeople with acquired Finnish citizenship\nPeople deported from Thailand\nGerman expatriates in Hong Kong\nFinnish expatriates in Hong Kong\nGerman emigrants to New Zealand\nFinnish emigrants to New Zealand\nFinnish chief executives\nBusinesspeople in computing\nFinnish people of German descent\nGerman people of Finnish descent\nPeople convicted of embezzlement\nPeople convicted of fraud\nPeople convicted of cybercrime\nDomain name seizures by United States",

"Nog, played by Aron Eisenberg, is a recurring character on the science fiction television series Star Trek: Deep Space Nine (DS9). A member of the profit-driven alien species known as the Ferengi, he becomes the first Ferengi to join Starfleet. He is the nephew of the Ferengi bartender Quark, a major character on the series; the son of Quark's brother Rom; and a close friend of Jake Sisko, the son of Deep Space Nines protagonist Benjamin Sisko. Episodes of the series often paired Nog with Jake.\n\nNog is the main character in the episode \"It's Only a Paper Moon\", which was noted for exploring his recovery from post-traumatic stress disorder.\n\nFictional character biography\nIn the Star Trek universe, Nog was born to Rom and Prinadora on Ferenginar in 2353. Later, he moved with his father to Deep Space Nine and worked at his uncle Quark's bar. This time is depicted in DS9, and Nog is characterized as being very mischievous and a slight delinquent. Throughout the course of the series, Nog befriends Jake Sisko. In the first seasons of DS9 he is, though reluctantly, one of the first students in Keiko O'Brien's school. When Rom, under pressure from Quark and Grand Nagus Zek, pulls Nog out of school, Jake tutors him without Rom's knowledge (\"The Nagus\").\n\nRecognizing his father's failure to capitalize on his proficiency in mechanics and electronics, and not wanting to follow in those footsteps, Nog resolves to go into a career where he can make something of himself. He requests a recommendation from Commander Benjamin Sisko to be admitted to Starfleet Academy (\"Heart of Stone\"). Although Sisko takes considerable convincing that this young Ferengi is serious in this uncharacteristically unprofitable ambition for his species, Nog is admitted with his recommendation and becomes the first Ferengi in Starfleet (\"Facets\").\n\nStarfleet assigns Nog to Deep Space Nine as part of his cadet field training (\"The Ascent\"). Upon returning to the station, he and Jake become roommates. As a cadet, Nog works mainly under chief of operations Miles O'Brien. Nog receives a commission as ensign shortly before Starfleet retakes Deep Space Nine during the Dominion War (\"Favor the Bold\").\n\nIn the height of the Dominion War, Nog loses his leg due to a battle injury (\"The Siege of AR-558\"). Although a biosynthetic leg is grown for him to replace the amputated one, after months of therapy Nog still feels phantom pain in his new leg. Nog chooses a holosuite simulation of a Las Vegas nightclub as the place to recuperate from his trauma and adjust to using an artificial limb, living in the holosuite until the simulated nightclub singer Vic Fontaine forces him to leave (\"It's Only a Paper Moon\").\n\nOne of Sisko's final acts before joining the Prophets is to promote Nog to the rank of lieutenant junior grade (DS9: \"What You Leave Behind\").\n\nIn the 32nd century, Starfleet has named a starship after Nog. The USS Nog (an Eisenberg-class starship, named after actor Aron Eisenberg, who played Nog and had recently died) is stationed at Federation headquarters. (Star Trek: Discovery: \"Die Trying\")\n\nAppearances\nNog appears in the following episodes of Star Trek: Deep Space Nine:\n\nSeason 1\n\n Emissary\n A Man Alone\n The Nagus\n The Storyteller\n Progress\n\nSeason 2\n\n The Siege\n Sanctuary\n The Jem'Hadar\n\nSeason 3\n\n Life Support\n Heart of Stone\n Facets\n\nSeason 4\n\n The Visitor (alternate timeline version)\n Little Green Men\n Homefront\n Paradise Lost\n Shattered Mirror (Mirror Universe counterpart)\n\nSeason 5\n\n The Ascent\n The Darkness and the Light\n For the Uniform\n Soldiers of the Empire\n Blaze of Glory\n Empok Nor\n In the Cards\n Call to Arms\n\nSeason 6\n\n A Time to Stand\n Rocks and Shoals\n Behind the Lines\n Favor the Bold\n Sacrifice of Angels\n You Are Cordially Invited...\n The Magnificent Ferengi\n Far Beyond the Stars\n One Little Ship\n Valiant\n Profit and Lace\n Tears of the Prophets\n\nSeason 7\n\n Image in the Sand\n Take Me Out to the Holosuite\n Chrysalis\n Treachery, Faith, and the Great River\n The Siege of AR-558\n Covenant\n It's Only a Paper Moon\n Badda-bing, Badda-bang\n 'Til Death Do Us Part\n The Changing Face of Evil\n When it Rains...\n The Dogs of War\n What You Leave Behind\n\nTop episodes\nThe episode \"It's Only a Paper Moon\", focuses on Nog's recovery from the trauma of having lost his leg in the episode \"The Siege of AR-558\". These two episodes were ranked as the 14th and 15th best of Star Trek: Deep Space Nine by The Hollywood Reporter in 2016. Hollywood Reporter ranked \"It's Only a Paper Moon\" as the 56th best of all episodes of the Star Trek franchise aired by 2016, calling it a touching and ambitious story. The A.V. Club's Zack Handlen lauded Aron Eisenberg's acting in this episode, noting that his portrayal of Nog's PTSD \"has some real edges to it, and some aspects of it should be familiar to anyone who's suffered a period of severe depression\".\n\nStephanie Marceau, writing for Screen Rant, ranked the top ten episodes featuring Nog:\n\n It's Only A Paper Moon\nHeart of Stone\n The Magnificent Ferengi\n The Jem'Hadar\n Treachery, Faith, and the Great River\n Badda-Bing Badda-Bang\n The Visitor\n Progress\n Valiant\n Empok Nor\n\nMarceau says of \"Its Only a Paper Moon\" that \"Watching Nog deal with his conflicted feelings and trauma about the war and Starfleet was powerful and inspiring\" and found the show's treatment of the character's loss \"respectful\". Clint Worthington, writing for SyFy, felt \"Heart of Stone\", in which Nog decides to join Starfleet, was the most important Nog episode; he also noted \"The Siege of AR-558\", in which Nog is confronted with the hardships of war.\n\nReception\nIn 2016, the character of Nog was ranked as the 51st most important character of Starfleet within the Star Trek science fiction universe by Wired Magazine.\n\nRichard A. Hall observed that not the least through the influence of his Starfleet neighbours, Nog becomes a more thoughtful and caring individual over the course of the show's run.\n\nDiscovery co-creator and co-showrunner Alex Kurtzman saw in Nog \"a character who exemplified the possibility of resilience after a period of darkness\". Malissa Longo, widow of the portrayer Aron Eisenberg, commented: \"Nog was a trailblazer in DS9. I have no doubt that he would have left a lasting impression on the Federation\".\n\nIn 2019, Clint Worthington writing for SyFy, said that Nog was \"one of Star Trek's most aspirational characters\" noting how the character progressed throughout the show. They point in the early seasons he \"dragged Jake into one misadventure or another\", a cackling sidekick for Jake, but then in \"Heart of Stone\" he has realization he does not like where is life is headed. With the help of Commander Sisko, he sets his dreams on Starfleet hoping to rise above the limited opportunities available to him.\n\nCNN remembered Nog as the major role for actor Eisenberg in his career when he died in 2019.\n\nReferences\n\nFurther reading\n\nExternal links\n\n Nog at StarTrek.com\n\nFerengi\nTelevision characters introduced in 1993\nFictional amputees\nStar Trek: Deep Space Nine characters\nChild characters in television\nStarfleet engineers\nStarfleet ensigns\nStarfleet lieutenants\nFictional_characters_from_the_24th_century",

"Bitch is a 2017 American dark comedy film written and directed by Marianna Palka.\n\nPlot \nJill Hart, a stay-at-home mom in the L.A. suburbs, is at breaking point from stress, and from the lengthy work absence of her philandering husband Bill. Alone, she toys with and fails to commit suicide by hanging herself with a dog leash. Her state worsens, in parallel with being troubled by a mysterious dog that visits their garden much of the time, watching the house. Jill suffers a mental breakdown, and vanishes, leaving Bill torn between work and care of their four children.\n\nInitially fearing she has left or been abducted or harmed, the children find her faeces smeared clothing and phone in the house after school, and later locate Jill in the basement where she has snapped and reverted to behaving like a dog. She snarls and barks at the family as they peer downstairs.\n\nOut of his depth and trying to maintain the appearance of normality, Bill seeks refuge in focusing on his work needs and minimising his engagement with his wife's condition. He is pressured by Jill's sister Beth to stop shirking and contact the family doctor, but focuses on his work stresses and on keeping the matter secret. He blames his wife for the change to their situation and for selfishly (as he sees it) placing extra work on him to support the family, and blames the doctor for suggesting she needs to be taken into psychiatric hospital care. He begins secretly drinking vodka from the bottle, flushes his wedding ring down the shower drain, neglects work and is fired, and his behaviour disconcerts and pushes away the children. Jill remains in the basement, her behaviour remains feral and aggressive in both bark and snarl. However, gradually Bill and Beth begin to open up to each other and he begins to work with her and support the children as a family, for the good of all. He buys dog toys for Jill, then gently suggests the children stop offering the toys to her, when their attempts to engage increase Jill's stress.\n\nThe co-worker whom Bill had been having an affair with, visits Bills house. He sends her away but Beth is furious believing he invited her, and Jill, agitated, escapes, although they find her unharmed by the roadside. Later Beth reveals her family is filing legal papers for custody of her sister, and leaves. At an initial medical meeting, Bill believes the concern is his conduct rather than Jill's best interests, and begins to understand how selfish he had been to her, during their marriage. He sadly accepts medical help and Jill is sedated and removed to a hospital. Living with the children, he does chores, and cleans the basement. His wedding ring is found by a plumber, and he puts it back on. The family move house. His development as a caring parent continues and is reciprocated by the children. The relationship with Beth is healed.\n\nJill comes home for the first time, the children staying with Beth. She still behaves like a dog but is much calmer. He takes Jill on all fours to the local dog park to meet other dogs, and plays on all fours himself to encourage her to play. Later that night, his attempt to help her by offering a shower triggers an aggressive relapse, and then results in Jill traumatically remembering herself. He holds her and talks reassuringly as she uncontrollably sobs. The next morning, in bed, she tentatively gives Bill her first real smile.\n\nCast\nMarianna Palka as Jill Hart\nJason Ritter as Bill Hart\nJaime King as Beth\nBrighton Sharbino as Tiffany Hart\nRio Mangini as Max Hart\nJason Maybaum as Jed Hart\nKingston Foster as Cindy Hart\nSol Rodriguez as Annabelle\nArielle Kebbel as Cindy's teacher (name unknown)\n\nRelease\nThe film was released on November 10, 2017.\n\nReception\nOn review aggregator website Rotten Tomatoes, the film holds an approval rating of 67% based on 39 reviews, and an average rating of 6.1/10.

"Sydney Anne Bristow (played by Jennifer Garner) is a fictional character and the protagonist of the television series Alias. She is an American woman with a Russian-Canadian family background who works as a spy for the CIA.\n\nSydney is depicted in the series as being strong both physically and emotionally. She deals with some significant trauma over the years: the death of her fiancé, the death of her best friend, the realization that her mother was a former KGB spy, the estrangement of many of her friends and the constant activity and changes that she must endure from being a spy on a regular basis. Sydney is highly skilled in Krav Maga and is a hyper polyglot, speaking English, Russian, German, Greek, Dutch, French, Italian, Spanish, Portuguese, Norwegian, Swedish, Romanian, Hungarian, Hebrew, Uzbek, Arabic, Persian, Urdu, Indonesian, Cantonese, Mandarin, Japanese, Korean, Hindi, Vietnamese, Polish, Serbian, Czech, Ukrainian, and Bulgarian in various episodes. Throughout the series her code names are Bluebird, Freelancer, Mountaineer, and Phoenix.\n\nCharacter biography\nSydney Bristow was born April 17, 1975. For the first six years of her life she lived with both of her parents, Jack and Laura Bristow (real name Irina Derevko). However, her father's work with the CIA kept him away from home much of the time. Sydney and her family were living in rural Maryland until Jack was transferred to Los Angeles when Sydney was two. In 1981 her mother, who was also an undercover agent for the KGB, faked her own death to prevent being apprehended by the FBI. Afterwards Jack was taken into custody for some time, because it was believed that he also was part of a larger conspiracy.\n\nJack named Arvin Sloane as Sydney's temporary guardian and Sydney went to live with Sloane and his wife Emily, for a time (Note that this is a retcon as it was previously established that Sydney did not meet Arvin or Emily until Sydney had already started working for SD-6. Sydney herself had stated that she had large memory gaps from around the time of her mother's death and can only remember that her father began drinking heavily and became more of an absentee father, leaving Sydney to be raised by nannies. Later it is revealed that the memory gaps are due to Jack, who after finally having been cleared, tested Project Christmas on Sydney, so that she would never be recruited by the KGB, and like all the candidates tested, the training ended with Sydney's memory erased.)\n\nWhen Sydney was 19 years old and a freshman in college, a man approached her and told her that he worked with US intelligence and that they wanted to interview her because she fit a profile. She declined at first but then decided to join them. After meeting with an organization she believed was the Central Intelligence Agency, she signed \"dozens of non-disclosure agreements\" and was offered a job.\n\nThey had Sydney take a job as an office assistant on the twentieth floor of Credit Dauphine, a corporate bank in downtown Los Angeles. She assumed that the bank was somehow affiliated with the CIA. When she told her father about her job after about a month, he ordered her to quit because as a double agent within SD-6, he knew the bank was a front. Sydney angrily refused to quit and this led to the beginning of a several-year estrangement in their relationship.\n\nEventually she was told that she was ready for the transition, which involved eight months of training. It was during the training that Sydney first heard the term SD-6. At this time, she believed that SD-6 was affiliated with the CIA, that it was a black ops division of the CIA, funded by the CIA's black budget. They led her to believe that SD-6 was one of these divisions and that that was why they did not operate through Langley, Virginia.\n\nThe transition ended when they made reference to SD-6 headquarters. They told her they would take her there. What she did not realize was that the headquarters was in the same building. Her role within SD-6 was desk work, at first, but she advanced quickly. Within the first year, she was assigned to reconnaissance missions.\n\nSydney was told that the objective of SD-6 was \"the retrieval and study of intelligence, both military and industrial, throughout the world that is critical to the superiority and survival of the United States of America.\"\n\nSeven years after joining SD-6, Sydney discovered that SD-6 was actually a branch of the Alliance of Twelve, an international organized crime group involved in the trade of intelligence and weapons, and was an enemy of the United States.\n\nStorylines\n\nSeason 1\nSydney was engaged to be married to her boyfriend Danny Hecht, but he was killed by SD-6 after Sydney told him that she worked for the CIA. Shortly thereafter, she was informed of what SD-6 was by her mostly estranged father, who worked in the highest levels of SD-6.\n\nSydney went to the real CIA with her knowledge of SD-6, and was recruited by the CIA into working as a double agent to bring down SD-6. Her handler, Agent Michael Vaughn, and who is her ongoing love interest on the show, gives her missions from the CIA. She soon learns that her own father is a double agent as well. During her time at SD-6, Sydney performed missions with Marcus Dixon, who sometimes became suspicious that Sydney was a double agent. Dixon was still under the impression that SD-6 was part of the U.S. Government. Sydney had to balance all these new revelations with keeping all these secrets from her friends, notably Will Tippin and Francie Calfo.\n\nDuring this season, the head of SD-6, Arvin Sloane, was obsessed with Milo Rambaldi, a man from the 15th century who was able to create brilliant devices that were far ahead of their time. Sydney worked on a number of missions to retrieve or modify these Rambaldi devices to prevent them from falling into the hands of SD-6. During the season finale, on one such mission to destroy such a device, Sydney is captured and discovers that the organization that SD-6 has been pursuing is being run by Irina Derevko, Sydney's mother and a former KGB spy.\n\nSeason 2\nDuring season 2, Sydney continues to act as a double agent inside SD-6 and also performs direct missions for the CIA. Irina Derevko turns herself in to the CIA and provides valuable information to help bring down SD-6. Midway through the season, the CIA finally has enough information to bring down the entire Alliance organization and the assault on SD-6 headquarters, led by Sydney and Vaughn. The organization comes tumbling down, but Sloane gets away and is now working covertly with Julian Sark.\n\nFollowing the fall of SD-6, Sydney decides she wants to leave the CIA but finds herself unable to do so knowing that Sloane is still free. Sydney also has to work to make amends with Dixon, who is bitter that Sydney knew SD-6 was not part of the U.S. Government and didn't tell him, although they are eventually able to patch things up and Dixon begins to work with the CIA.\n\nDuring this time, Sydney's friend and roommate Francie has secretly been replaced by an agent of Sloane and Sark's, Allison Doren. Sydney eventually figures out that \"Francie\" is not who she says she is and the two engage in a battle which destroys the entire apartment. Sydney shoots Allison three times, apparently killing her, but Sydney is also severely wounded and passes out.\n\nWhen Sydney wakes up, she is in Hong Kong and comes to find out that two years have passed without her knowledge.\n\nSeason 2 saw a fundamental change in Sydney's character, allegedly introduced in order to give the show more action. In the first season, Sydney almost never kills, preferring fisticuffs and tranquilizer guns to deadly blows and real bullets. Starting this season, she behaves more like a stereotypical spy, usually killing enemies and rarely using tranq guns. Although there were some minor incidents prior, the episode \"Phase One\" is generally considered to mark the arrival of this new version of Sydney. While some fans have criticized this change in Sydney's character, others have suggested that it might have been influenced by the arrival of her mother. During season 2 Sydney also begins to dress and act more sexually to achieve her goals.\n\nSeason 3\nSydney now has to deal with the pain of not knowing what has happened for the previous two years of her life, but also the fact that Vaughn is now married to another woman, National Security Council liaison Lauren Reed. Sydney tries to manipulate the CIA to stay in the loop of the organization (they don't trust her because of her absence).\n\nSydney learns that an organization known as The Covenant seems to be involved with her disappearance. In the meantime, Sydney continues to perform missions for the CIA, while working with her father to find out more about her past.\n\nEventually Sydney learns through FBI Assistant Director Kendall (who is actually the director of the Department of Special Research) that she worked in the employ of the Covenant as a supposedly brainwashed assassin, although she was able to resist their attempts to manipulate her due to her experiences with Project Christmas and report to the CIA during this time. Eventually, she wiped her own memories to conceal information and perhaps also because of the horrifying realization that the Covenant had extracted her eggs in order to fulfill one of Rambaldi's prophecies. She was also greatly disturbed that she chose to kill an unarmed man in cold blood rather than risk losing her cover as a brainwashed assassin.\n\nSydney and Vaughn continue to suppress their feelings for each other in light of Vaughn's relationship with Lauren. However, it is discovered that Lauren is actually an agent working for the Covenant, although both Sydney and Vaughn are, at first, unaware of this fact.\n\nThe CIA learns that there is a mole in the Los Angeles office. Jack is assigned to find the mole and soon starts to suspect Lauren. Jack confronts Lauren's father, Senator Reed, but he dismisses it.\n\nMeanwhile Vaughn decides to separate from Lauren. Lauren tells Sark and Sark explains that the last time Vaughn strayed from a relationship because of Sydney he quickly reconnected when his then-girlfriend Alice Williams' father died. Sark orders Lauren to kill her father. Lauren cannot go through with it but her mother bursts in and finishes the job. They frame Senator Reed for being the mole. Vaughn quickly recommits to Lauren, breaking Sydney's heart.\n\nOn a mission to meet a Covenant asset, Sydney sees Lauren. When she tells Vaughn he dismisses it. Sydney talks to Jack and then Jack talks to Vaughn telling him the signs that his wife is betraying him. When Vaughn becomes suspicious he looks in Lauren's suitcase and discovers evidence that she does work for the Covenant.\n\nVaughn tells Jack and Sydney and he is ordered by Dixon to pretend that he is unaware of Lauren's betrayal. Lauren soon finds out that she has been played by Vaughn and she and Sark kidnap him. After torturing him and failing to get any information they leave him for dead. Weiss finds Vaughn and he is taken to the hospital.\n\nSydney soon discovers that the Passenger is Nadia Santos, her half-sister by the way of an affair between Irina and Sloane. After a rescue mission, Sydney's sister is taken by Sloane so he can get the formula that was stored in her brain by Rambaldi (actually her unique nervous system can replay the graphical hand movements encoded in the Rambaldi Fluid-protein strands that cause unconscious, movements like handwriting). Sydney rescues her again, but Nadia later elects to accompany Sloane in search of the Rambaldi artifact known as The Sphere of Life.\n\nLauren enters the CIA office disguised as Sydney and steals information. Sark is captured and interviewed by Vaughn. Sark gives up Lauren and Vaughn resolves to kill her. Vaughn tracks her down and brings her to an empty warehouse. As Lauren dangles from the ceiling, Vaughn states that he loves Sydney more than he hates Lauren thus he will not kill Lauren. He does, however, plan to douse her in hydrochloric acid, rendering her unrecognizable. Sydney's aunt, the ambiguous Katya Derevko, stabs him in the back. When Sydney learns about Vaughn, she goes after Lauren herself. Vaughn goes after her and arrives just in time to save Sydney from Lauren. As Vaughn and Sydney kiss, Lauren tries to make one last shot. Vaughn sees this and shoots her dead. Before Lauren dies she tells Sydney that there is a safe deposit box in Wittenburg that has information about her.\n\nSydney goes to the box and finds secret CIA documents about her. Jack gets there and tells her that she was never supposed to find them.\n\nSeason 4\nSeveral months after her discovery, Sydney is once again estranged from her father, having discovered (through the secret documents) that he had killed Irina Derevko. Following a botched mission in Shanghai, she receives a dressing down at a performance review, is demoted, and is subsequently dismissed from the CIA.\n\nIn truth, Sydney has been recruited into APO (Authorized Personnel Only), a new black ops division of the CIA patterned after SD-6. Much to her dismay, this new agency is headed by Sloane, who oversees a handpicked team which includes Sydney, Jack Bristow, Vaughn, and Dixon. During APO's first mission, Marshall is also recruited, as is her half-sister, Nadia. Her former colleague, Eric Weiss, thinks that Sydney is working for a bank - the same cover she had used when working for SD-6.\n\nDuring the course of APO's first mission, to bring down a terrorist and assassin-for-hire, she learns the man was actually hired to kill her - by Irina. Jack subsequently killed Irina to protect his daughter. Meanwhile, Sydney rekindles her romance with Vaughn. Later, it is revealed that Irina is not actually dead - Jack killed a genetic double in an elaborate deception orchestrated by Irina's evil sister, Elena, who recruits Sloane in activating a huge Mueller device invented by Rambaldi, which has the potential to destroy the world. Irina is rescued from Elena's clutches and reunited with her family - including Nadia, who she hasn't seen for years - and together they fly to Russia to stop Elena's plans.\n\nAround this time, after some twists and turns and ups and downs in their relationship, Vaughn finally proposes marriage prior to the mission to go after Elena. Sydney doesn't answer just yet. Finally, when she is about to destroy the Mueller device, Sydney goes back to Vaughn and gives him an affirmative reply.\n\nDuring the mission in Russia, it is revealed that Sloane was able to infiltrate the drinking water of the city through his charity, and all who had drunk this water and were exposed to the Mueller device were genetically altered and became excessively violent. When Nadia is captured by Elena, she is injected with the infected water and consequently attempts to kill Sydney.\n\nThe season ends on a cliffhanger when Vaughn reveals to Sydney that his real name is not Michael Vaughn, and depending on who is asked, he might be a \"bad guy\". At that moment, their car is T-boned by an unknown assailant.\n\nSeason 5\nSydney and Vaughn survive the car crash, but Vaughn is taken by their assailants. He manages to escape and tells Sydney that his real name is André Michaux. He also tells her that he's been working for several years to uncover the activities of a mysterious organization known as Prophet Five. His father before him had also worked to gather intel on Prophet Five. Shortly thereafter, Sydney learns she is pregnant and Vaughn is shot and apparently killed by a rogue agent posing as a CIA officer. Four months later, Sydney makes contact with Renée Rienne, an assassin on the CIA's most wanted list, who had been working with Vaughn, and whose father had worked with Vaughn's father, to bring down Prophet Five.\n\nSydney finds a kindred spirit in Rachel Gibson, a young, wide-eyed, inexperienced agent rescued from \"The Shed\", a covert criminal organization that, much like SD-6, operates under the alias of a CIA black-ops division. Gibson, like Sydney years earlier, had been duped into believing she was working for the CIA. Now a member of APO, Gibson is learning the ways of being a field agent, with Sydney her designated handler, just as Michael had worked with her. With Nadia still comatose in the hospital, Gibson has moved into Sydney's home.\n\nSydney has also put at least some demons of the past behind her. Now fully reconciled with her father, she has also expressed some forgiveness of Sloane, to the point of writing a letter of recommendation for Sloane's release hearing.\n\nSydney continues to go on missions when her condition allows, often using the pregnancy as part of her disguises. However, in the episode \"Solo\", she came to realize that these days might be fast coming to a (temporary) end when she is not allowed to go on a mission due to her condition.\n\nThree weeks before her due date, Sydney is captured by Prophet Five in order to force her (via a form of drug-induced hypnosis) to remember details of a giant SD-6 flowchart that she had been shown by Michael Vaughn during one of their first meetings. Encouraged by her mental recreation of Michael Vaughn, she is able to resist the hypnosis and provide false information to her kidnappers (who, unbeknownst to Sydney, include Irina). Sydney discovers that she has been stranded aboard a freighter at sea where she attempts to elude Prophet Five and one of their associates, Kelly Peyton. During this incident, she discovers that her family doctor is actually a Prophet Five agent, and suffers a complication with her pregnancy that (to her later surprise) is corrected by Prophet Five and the baby is saved.\n\nAfter being extracted by APO, Sydney is reunited with her mother and together with her and Jack they travel to Vancouver in order to obtain a mysterious object called \"The Horizon\" which Prophet Five believed Sydney possessed. During this mission, which is complicated by the discovery that Irina works for Prophet Five and a subsequent attack by Peyton, Sydney goes into labor and — with the aid of Irina and Jack — gives birth to a baby girl, named Isabelle. Irina subsequently disappears with The Horizon.\n\nAfter the birth of Isabelle, it is revealed that Vaughn didn't die. After his shooting, Jack helped him fake his death and hide in Bhutan.\n\nAbout a month after giving birth, Sydney returns to duty when Anna Espinosa is recruited by Peyton to kidnap Will Tippin. Espinosa implants an explosive in Tippin's head and demands that page 47 of Rambaldi's manuscript be turned over to her in return for the disarming code. Sydney and Will battle Anna but lose page 47, and in the process Anna uses an unknown chemical agent to collect genetic material from Sydney. Anna goes through the genetic doubling process and becomes Sydney's duplicate.\n\nAfter Anna kills Renée Rienne while she is on a mission with APO, a chip bearing Michael Vaughn's real name (André Michaux) is discovered implanted in her body. The chip bears what appears to be a corrupted code. Sydney heads to Nepal to meet with Vaughn but is intercepted by an agent of Prophet Five while Anna keeps Sydney's rendezvous with Vaughn. Anna and Vaughn discover that Vaughn has the other half of the code on a chip implanted in his body and after deciphering the code he and Anna head to Germany. They discover a bunker containing all of Vaughn's father's research on Prophet Five. Vaughn reveals that he knows Anna is not Sydney and they fight. Anna gains the upper hand until Sydney shoots her in the head, killing her. Sydney goes undercover as Anna to infiltrate Prophet Five and meets up with Peyton.\n\nSydney, still undercover as Anna, meets Sloane and learns that she is to seek a rose from an ancient Italian monastery. She meets up with Julian Sark in Italy and he gets them arrested to infiltrate the prison that stands where the monastery once did. Sydney discovers an elderly man who identifies himself as The Rose. The Rose gives Sydney an amulet and tells her she can't stop Prophet Five from carrying out its plans. While Peyton extracts Sark from the prison, Sloane attempts to kill Sydney, still believing she is Anna. Sydney survives the attempt but Sloane escapes with the amulet. Sydney and Vaughn return to Los Angeles, where Vaughn meets his daughter for the first time. Their happiness is short-lived, however, as Sydney gets a call from Sloane, who has figured out that she is still alive.\n\nSydney finally travels to Sydney, Australia as part of an APO mission to get intel on the twelve leaders of Prophet Five. She successfully captures intel on three of the twelve and returns to Los Angeles.\n\nShortly thereafter, Marshall and Rachel are abducted by Peyton and Sark respectively and Sydney encounters Sloane, who convinces her to get Marshall to help him locate a certain cavern. Marshall is able to pass a message to Sydney, who, working with Marshall's wife Carrie, is able to locate Marshall and Rachel and mount a rescue. Marshall and Rachel advise the team that Sloane is seeking a cave in Italy and Sydney deduces that Sloane is headed for Mount Subasio. She and Vaughn travel there and Sydney descends into the cave. There she encounters Sloane again, with the amulet she recovered earlier. Sloane fires several rounds into the floor of the cave at Sydney's feet, causing the floor to give way. Vaughn rescues Sydney and performs CPR on her.\n\nThe team next tracks Sloane to Mongolia and the tomb of Milo Rambaldi. There Sydney encounters Sloane yet again as he implements his endgame by placing the Horizon on an altar, thus creating a red, hovering ball-shaped fluid similar to that created by the Mueller device. Sydney disrupts Sloane's plans by grabbing the Horizon from the altar, causing the ball to collapse in a torrent of red liquid. Sark leads Jack and Vaughn into the tomb after capturing them, and Sloane shoots Jack in the chest to force Sydney and Vaughn to leave. Seeing her father severely wounded, Sydney grabs a gun and eventually shoots Sloane several times, who crashes into the puddle of Rambaldi-fluid. With Sloane seemingly dead, Sydney tries to stay with her bleeding father, but he begs her to leave him and to stop Irina. Sydney reluctantly obeys and departs for Hong Kong for a final confrontation with Irina. Jack drags himself back into the tomb and confronts Sloane, who has become immortal because of the fluid. Sloane offers to heal Jack, but Jack tells Sloane that he has caused so much pain for Sydney over the years that he will not allow him to do it again and reveals a bomb that he strapped to his body and detonates it, killing himself. The explosion causes a cave in and Sloane is trapped in there forever.\n\nIn Hong Kong, Sydney and Irina clash a final time, with Sydney seeking to stop Irina from using the Horizon to gain immortality. In the course of the fight, Irina ends up atop a glass skylight, the Horizon just inches away from her. With the glass cracking under Irina's weight, Sydney pleads with her to take her hand. Irina refuses and attempts to grab the Horizon. The glass breaks completely, causing Irina to fall to her death.\n\nThe series ends a few years into the future. Sydney and Vaughn are married and semi-retired and are now living in a beachside house on an obviously very far off island. Dixon comes to visit and is greeted by Vaughn and Sydney, who is holding their second child who is named Jack after Sydney's father. Isabelle has found the blocks for Project Christmas and assembles them in no time, but dismantles it after Sydney calls for her and she joins her family outside. As everyone walks down the beach, the screen cuts to black with the message: THANK YOU FOR FIVE INCREDIBLE YEARS.\n\nCasting\nBefore landing the lead role in Alias, Garner auditioned five times for a guest appearance in J. J. Abrams's Felicity. When Abrams created Alias, he wanted Garner to portray Sydney. \"There was something about her that I just thought was really special. I always thought she had something in her personality that was funnier and sexier and smarter and more mischievous than anything I'd seen her do. And when I wrote Sydney, I wanted to show that,\" he said. Melissa George, who went on to play Lauren Reed on the show, was also considered for the role of Sydney. Garner took private martial arts lessons for one month during the audition process. She did many of the physical stunts herself throughout the series. Her first stunt double was Dana Hee, who was later replaced by Shauna Duggins.\n\nReception\n\nAs of 2004, Sydney was named one of the 10 best current characters by Zap2it. In June 2010, she was ranked No. 42 on Entertainment Weekly'''s \"100 Greatest Characters of the Last 20 Years\". UGO.com ranked her the 20th Top TV Character out of 50. Sydney was listed AOL TV's \"100 Most Memorable Female TV Characters\", ranking at No. 27. and AfterEllen.com's Top 50 Favorite Female TV Characters. Bristow also appeared in Maxim list of the Hottest Nerd Crushes. She was also included in Total Sci-Fi Onlines list of The 25 Women Who Shook Sci-Fi. TV Guide named her one of TV's Toughest Ladies. Her relationship with Michael Vaughn was featured in TV Guide''s list of the best TV couples of all time.\n\nGarner also received critical acclaim for her performance. She won a Golden Globe Award for Best Actress – Television Series Drama out of four consecutive nominations, as well as four Emmy nominations for her lead performance. She was nominated for the Screen Actors Guild Award for Outstanding Performance by a Female Actor in a Drama Series in 2004 and she won the award in 2005.\n\nIn August 2003, the actual CIA enlisted Jennifer Garner to appear in a recruitment video, which would be shown at fairs and college campuses. A CIA officer said: \"Jennifer and the character of Sydney Bristow both reflect a lot of the qualities we look for in new career field officers.\"\n\nReferences\n\nAlias (TV series) characters\nAmerican female characters in television\nFemale soldier and warrior characters in television\nFictional American secret agents\nFictional Central Intelligence Agency personnel\nFictional double agents\nFictional female martial artists\nFictional female secret agents and spies\nFictional feminists and women's rights activists\nFictional Krav Maga practitioners\nFictional polyglots\nFictional secret agents and spies in television\nMartial artist characters in television\nTelevision characters introduced in 2001",

"Jill Valentine is a character in Resident Evil (Biohazard in Japan), a survival horror video game series created by the Japanese company Capcom. She was introduced as one of the two player characters in the original Resident Evil (1996), alongside her partner Chris Redfield, as a member of the Raccoon City Police Department's Special Tactics And Rescue Service (S.T.A.R.S.) unit. Jill and Chris fight against the Umbrella Corporation, a pharmaceutical company whose bioterrorism creates zombies and other bio-organic weapons, and later become founding members of the United Nations' Bioterrorism Security Assessment Alliance (BSAA).\n\nJill is the protagonist of several Resident Evil games, novelizations, movies, and other media. In later games, such as the 2002 Resident Evil remake, Resident Evil: The Umbrella Chronicles, and Resident Evil 5, her features were based on Canadian model and actress Julia Voth. Jill also appears in the Resident Evil film series, portrayed by actress Sienna Guillory, and in the 2021 film reboot, played by Hannah John-Kamen. She is featured in several other game franchises, including Street Fighter, Marvel vs. Capcom, and Project X Zone.\n\nVideo game publications listed Jill among the most popular and iconic video game characters, and praised her as the most likable and consistent Resident Evil character. She has received both acclaim and criticism with regard to gender representation in video games. Several publications praised the series for its portrayal of women and considered Jill significantly less sexualized than other female game characters; she was also cited as an example of a female character who was as competent and skilled as her male counterparts. Others argued she was weakened as a protagonist by attributes that undermined her role as a heroine, specifically an unrealistic body shape that did not reflect her military background; some of her overtly sexualized costumes have also been criticized.\n\nConcept and design\n\nJill Jill was introduced as one of two playable protagonists, alongside her partner Chris Redfield, in Capcom's 1996 survival horror video game Resident Evil. She was created by director Shinji Mikami and designer Isao Ohishi. To avoid the sexual objectification of women in video games, Mikami refused to eroticize or portray women as submissive in Resident Evil; instead, Jill was characterized as independent.\n\nOf Japanese and French descent, Jill excelled at bomb disposal during her training with Delta Force, and later joined the Special Tactics and Rescue Service (S.T.A.R.S.) special operations unit. Experienced with weapons, explosives material, and lock picking, she was intelligent, brave, and loyal. Although their storylines progress toward \"the same general direction\", the gameplay differs for Jill and Chris; her inventory is larger, and she has a lock pick, giving her early access to more health and ammunition. Based on these differences, Jill was recommended to first-time players of Resident Evil.\n\nAccording to digital media scholar Esther MacCallum-Stewart, Mikami's female roles possess unique qualities making them viable choices for players to select over their male counterparts, and said their combat attire helped them avoid criticism of adhering to the male gaze. Mikami explained: \"I don't know if I've put more emphasis on women characters, but when I do introduce them, it is never as objects. In [other] games, they will be peripheral characters with ridiculous breast physics. I avoid that sort of obvious eroticism.\" Despite this, subsequent games in the series not directed by Mikami depicted her wearing revealing costumes. Media scholars said players have been intentionally encouraged to both objectify and identify with the character. Several commentators suggested that Mikami's initial portrayal of Jill as a military professional tempered the ability of subsequent game directors to overtly sexualize the character.\n\nJill continued to be redesigned over the course of the series. In the 2002 remake of the original game, her appearance was based on Canadian model and actress Julia Voth. Capcom producer Hiroyuki Kobayashi said they made her more kawaii in the remake, but also kept her tough and muscular. Voth's likeness was reused for Resident Evil: The Umbrella Chronicles (2007) and Resident Evil 5 (2009). Resident Evil 5 features Chris as a protagonist; designers opted to focus on how both characters had aged since the original game. Jill underwent another redesign for Resident Evil 5 to reflect her status as a test subject in biological research experiments. Depicted with blonde hair, pale skin, and tight-fitting outfitdescribed as a battle suitthese changes represent the effects of the experimentation. Fans criticized the new appearance as an example of whitewashing. MacCallum-Stewart suggested the popularity of the series was damaged by the unexplained reappearance of Jill as a \"mind-controlled BDSM assassin\". In the 2020 remake of Resident Evil 3, Jill is modeled after Russian model Sasha Zotova. Jill's redesign reflects the developers' creative vision behind the character's reimagination as a genuine action hero; because the art direction for the remake is based on photorealism, Capcom wanted to ensure that Jill fits into the game world environment.\n\nAlternate costumes as rewards for players have been a staple of the Resident Evil series. Completing the 2002 remake unlocked the ability to dress Jill in her Resident Evil 3: Nemesis miniskirt costume and as Sarah Connor from the 1991 film Terminator 2: Judgment Day. The miniskirt was added during development upon the staff's request. Following its addition, developers changed camera angles to reduce the amount of upskirting and matched the color of the skirt and underwear to make it less obvious. The outfit reappears in Resident Evil: The Mercenaries 3D (2011). A prequel to the events of Resident Evil 5, the downloadable content (DLC) episode Lost in Nightmares includes an alternative outfit for Jill, based on military clothing and sportswear. Since Resident Evil: Revelations (2012) was set at sea, her costume was made to resemble a wetsuit. The initial design featured more tactical gear attached to her buoyancy control device, but it was removed to highlight her body's contours. Her alternate outfit in the game, a revealing pirate costume, was deliberately made to be colorful to contrast with the storyline's dark themes.\n\nVoice-over and live-action actresses\nThe actresses who appeared in the original game's live-action cutscenes and recorded the voice work were credited only by their first names; Jill was portrayed by a high school student credited as \"Inezh\". Over the course of the franchise, voice actresses who played Jill included Catherine Disher in Resident Evil 3, Heidi Anderson in the 2002 remake, Kathleen Barr in Capcom's 2004 action-adventure game Under the Skin, and Tara Platt in Pachislot Biohazard, a recreational arcade game released solely in Japan. Patricia Ja Lee provided the voice and motion capture for both The Umbrella Chronicles and Resident Evil 5. Kari Wahlgren voiced the character in the 2011 game Marvel vs. Capcom 3: Fate of Two Worlds and Ultimate Marvel vs. Capcom 3. In Revelations, Jill was voiced by Michelle Ruff, who returned for the non-canon game Resident Evil: Operation Raccoon City. Nicole Tompkins voiced and provided motion capture performance for Jill in the 2020 Resident Evil 3 remake and reprised her role in CG animated film Resident Evil: Death Island. Atsuko Yuya voiced Jill in the Japanese versions of the games.\n\nThe character appeared in three entries of the original Resident Evil film series, where she was portrayed by English actress Sienna Guillory. Hannah John-Kamen played the role in the 2021 film Resident Evil: Welcome to Raccoon City.\n\nAppearances\n\nIn Resident Evil series\n\nEvery game in the series is set in the fictional American metropolitan area Raccoon City until its destruction at the end of Resident Evil 3: Nemesis. Subsequent games featuring Jill take place on an international scale: namely Russia, Africa, and the Mediterranean Sea. The original game is set in July 1998 in a mansion on the outskirts of Raccoon City, which Jill and her team enter into while searching for colleagues. Working with partner Barry Burton, she discovers the property is a façade for a biological warfare laboratory operated by the Umbrella Corporation and its undead occupants are the scientists who developed the T-virus mutagen. Her commander Albert Wesker is revealed to be a double agent for Umbrella. Jill and Chris are among the five survivors of the incident, who form a strong friendship and become passionate opponents of bioterrorism.\n\nJill did not appear in Resident Evil 2 (1998), as the production team used new protagonists (Leon S. Kennedy and Claire Redfield) to preserve the original game's horror elements: Mikami believed Jill and Chris would be too experienced to be scared by the events in the sequel. She returned as the sole protagonist in Resident Evil 3 (1999). Mikami – the lead producer of both Nemesis and the concurrently-produced Resident Evil – Code: Veronica (2000) – wanted each game to highlight a female character who had previously appeared in the series; Jill is the protagonist in Nemesis, while Claire is the lead character in Code: Veronica. Commentators suggested these decisions were made as a result of the success of the Tomb Raider series, which featured Lara Croft as the protagonist.\n\nNemesis is set two months after the first game, during which time Jill joined the Raccoon City Police Department (RCPD) to protect as many civilians as possible from the T-virus. The reason given by Capcom for her informal clothing in this entry was her resignation from the police immediately before the city's population was infected with the virus. She quit in protest over the failure of law enforcement to take action against Umbrella but remained in the city to investigate the corporation. The police uniform she wore in the original game was replaced with a less formal blue tube top, black miniskirt and knee-high boots.\n\nIn Nemesis, she escapes Raccoon City before its destruction from a nuclear strike as part of a U.S. government cover-up. She is pursued by Nemesis, a supersoldier whose task is to kill all remaining members of the S.T.A.R.S. team. Instead of killing Jill , Nemesis infects her with the T-virus; her new partner Carlos Oliveira – a former Umbrella mercenary – cures her of the infection with an Umbrella-produced vaccine. The Umbrella Chronicles occurs in 2003, when Jill and Chris join a private organization with the goal of exposing Umbrella's biological warfare activities, leading a group to destroy their only remaining research facility. After the fall of the corporation, the pair become founding members of the United Nations' Bioterrorism Security Assessment Alliance (BSAA). In Revelations – set two years later – Jill and new partner Parker Luciani are sent on a mission to rescue Chris, who is allegedly being held hostage on a ghost ship in the Mediterranean. Once aboard, she discovers the ship is infested with a new type of mutagen capable of infecting the aquatic ecosystem. Jill and Chris then unravel a political conspiracy involving an earlier mutagenic outbreak and a botched investigation by a rival agency.\n\nResident Evil 5 takes place in 2009 in the fictional African town of Kijuju, where terrorists are turning local residents into zombies. One of these terrorists is revealed to be Jill , who was missing in action for the previous two and a half years. Set in 2006, the Lost in Nightmares DLC showed Jill and Chris searching inside a mansion for Umbrella's founder; to save Chris from Wesker, Jill tackled the latter through a window. Neither of their bodies were recovered, and Jill is declared dead. In fact, she was injured by the fall and taken hostage by Wesker, who then used her as a test subject in his biological experiments. The antibodies produced by Jill 's system as a result of her Nemesis-era T-virus infection were used as the basis for the Uroboros Virus, the catalyst for the events of Resident Evil 5.\n\nDuring Resident Evil 5, Chris discovers that Jill is alive; Wesker attached a mind-control device on Jill which forced her to commit the terrorist acts and fight Chris and his new partner, local BSAA agent Sheva Alomar. Jill finds enough self-control to open her outfit so the device can be seen and removed. After its removal, she explains that she knew what she was doing but was unable to control her actions and urges Chris and Sheva to continue their mission. Another DLC episode, Desperate Escape, describes how Jill was able to escape safety with the help of local BSAA agent Josh Stone before they aid both Chris and Sheva to kill Wesker.\n\nOther appearances\n\nJill features in several of the Resident Evil films. She was originally scheduled to be the protagonist for the first Resident Evil movie (2002), while it was under the direction of George A. Romero. When Paul W. S. Anderson took over from Romero, he created a new character for the film series, Alice, portrayed by Milla Jovovich. Jill appears in the 2004 sequel Resident Evil: Apocalypse, where she is a disgraced police officer who escapes the ruins of Raccoon City with the help of Alice and other survivors. Her outfit in the movie is based on her clothing from Resident Evil 3. Anderson considered explanations to justify the usage of the costume, such as having it described as an undercover outfit, while Jovovich suggested using a heat wave as the reason. Anderson eventually decided to ignore the issue altogether, arguing that people who would criticize her attire \"probably shouldn't be watching a Resident Evil movie [at all].\"\n\nJill appears in a post-credits scene in Resident Evil: Afterlife (2010), wearing the mind-controlling device from Resident Evil 5 and leading an attack against Alice, Chris, Claire, and the survivors they rescued after a virus outbreak in Los Angeles. In Resident Evil: Retribution (2012), Jill is an antagonist programmed to capture Alice, but regains control of herself after Alice removes Wesker's mind-control device. The film includes a fight between Jill and Alice containing around 200 moves. She did not appear in the final film, Resident Evil: The Final Chapter (2016), apparently dying offscreen. According to Jovovich, Jill was excluded because there were too many Resident Evil characters to include in the film. The Resident Evil film series consistently received negative reviews. Cinefantastique praised Guillory's performance in Apocalypse as the film's only highlight. In the reboot film Resident Evil: Welcome to Raccoon City (2021), Jill is played by Hannah John-Kamen. She has also appeared in the 2023 computer-animated film, Resident Evil: Death Island.\n\nJill is a playable character in several non-canon Resident Evil games. She features in numerous Resident Evil mobile games, and is the protagonist of Resident Evil: Genesis (2008), an alternative-story version of the original game. She appears in two games in the Marvel vs. Capcom franchise and the crossover tactical role-playing games Project X Zone and Project X Zone 2. She makes a brief cameo in 2004's Under the Skin, and is a playable character in We Love Golf! (2007), Dead by Daylight (2016) and the digital collectible card game Teppen (2019). She appears as an alternate skin for two characters in the Street Fighter series: alternate outfits for Chun-Li in Super Gem Fighter Mini Mix (1998) and Cammy in Street Fighter V (2016) shows them wearing Jill's costume from the original Resident Evil. Jill appears as a Spirit in the Nintendo crossover video game Super Smash Bros. Ultimate (2018). In 2020, Jill made a cameo appearance in Astro's Playroom. In March 2021 during the Resident Evil 25th anniversary celebrations, the character Zofia from Rainbow Six Siege received Jill Valentine's skin. In October 2021, Jill and Chris appeared in Fortnite Battle Royale.\n\nJill features in novelizations of the films and games and plays a supporting role in the first novel, Resident Evil: Caliban Cove (1998), in a series by S. D. Perry. In Resident Evil: The Umbrella Conspiracy (1998), Perry's novelization of the original game, Jill's Delta Force background is not mentioned; before her career in law enforcement, she is said to have acted as an accomplice for her father Dick Valentine, a professional thief. Several comic books based on the games were released, and she is a character in Bandai's Resident Evil Deck Building Card Game (2011). Merchandise featuring Jill include action figures, figurines and a gun replica. The character was featured in Resident Evil-themed attractions at Universal Studios Japan and Universal Orlando's Halloween Horror Nights. Capcom's themed restaurant Biohazard Cafe & Grill S.T.A.R.S., which opened in Shibuya, Tokyo, in 2012, sold a noodle dish named after her.\n\nReception and legacy\n\nGame publications, including the 2011 version of the Guinness World Records Gamer's Edition, listed Jill Valentine among the most popular and iconic video game characters. At the 2013 Penny Arcade Expo, journalists and game developers nominated her as one of the top-three lead characters of Western and Japanese role-playing video games. Magazines praised her as the most likable Resident Evil character, with the most believable and consistent story arc in the series. She was also identified as one of the all-time greatest mascots of the video game industry, as a tough, strong and attractive female character who could appeal to a broad demographic.\n\nCritics commented that Jill was not oversexualized in her initial appearances. She was highlighted as an example of the series' female characters who were not judged solely on gender, and for having \"the most sensible design\" for a female character of the mid-to-late 1990s. Her professional relationship with Chris was celebrated for its basis in loyalty rather than romance and its balance in their personalities: Jill's intellect and Chris's brawn. Female digital critics felt that several of Jill's features undermine her role as a heroine and weaken her as a protagonistspecifically that her body shape is unrealistic and not reflective of her military background or physical training, noting that she was the only member of her team in the original game not to wear a bulletproof vest. The extent to which her appearance changed over the course of the game series has been criticized as excessive, with the Resident Evil 3 outfit derided for deviating too much from Mikami's initial militaristic iteration of the character. In Tropes vs. Women in Video Games, feminist media critic Anita Sarkeesian criticized Jill's alternate costumes as too revealing, particularly the pirate costume in Resident Evil: Revelations. She also cited Jill's movement in Revelations as an example of female characters who walk in an overtly sexualized manner.\n\nMacCallum-Stewart said the first Resident Evil game became famous for its \"extremely clunky dialogue and voice acting, an element which lent the otherwise suspenseful game an element of charm that endeared it to players\". Although she explains that the weak dialogue might be attributed to poor translation of the original Japanese text, she said this inadvertently helped differentiate the series from its rivals. Several lines from the game achieved enduring popularity: \"You were almost a Jill sandwich\", a quip delivered in awkward voiceover by Barry Burton after a falling ceiling trap almost crushes Jill, was revived as an Internet meme a decade after the game's release; it became the subject of fan art depicting Jill in or as a sandwich. Capcom referenced the line in several of their later games, including Dead Rising (2006), Resident Evil: Uprising (2009), and Resident Evil: Revelations 2 (2015). Another piece of dialogue spoken by Burton – \"And, Jill, here's a lock pick. It might be handy if you, the master of unlocking, take it with you\" – also gained notoriety. The quote has been parodied for containing an excessive amount of silence between words. It was removed from later editions.\n\nNotes\n\nReferences\n\nWorks cited\n\nFurther reading\n\nExternal links\n\n Jill Valentine at the Internet Movie Database (archived)\n\nAction film characters\nCapcom protagonists\nCharacters in American novels of the 20th century\nCryonically preserved characters in video games\nFemale horror film characters\nFemale characters in video games\nFemale soldier and warrior characters in video games\nFictional American people in video games\nFictional American police officers\nFictional French American people\nFictional Japanese American people\nFictional female gunfighters\nFictional gunfighters in video games\nFictional female martial artists\nFictional martial artists in video games\nFictional police officers in video games\nFictional private military members\nFictional soldiers in video games\nFictional sole survivors\nFictional special forces personnel\nFictional super soldiers\nFictional United Nations personnel\nFictional United States Army Delta Force personnel\nFictional zombie hunters\nResident Evil characters\nScience fiction film characters\nVideo game bosses\nVideo game characters based on real people\nVideo game characters introduced in 1996\nVideo game characters who can teleport\nVideo game mascots\nVideo game protagonists"

"Maria Teresa Rivera is a woman human rights defender, working an abortion rights, from El Salvador. She was sentenced to 40 years in prison for aggravated homicide in 2011 after having a miscarriage. She served 4 and a half years of her sentence before being released. In March 2017, Rivera and her 12-year-old son were given asylum by the Swedish Migration Agency in fear that a prosecutor's appeal of the decision to release her might lead to her returning to prison.\n\nThere has been a blanket ban on abortion in El Salvador since 1998. Five other Latin American countries have similar bans: Chile, Haiti, Honduras, Nicaragua and Suriname.\n\nShe is now advocating for Sexual Reproductive Rights (SRR Rights) in EI Salvador while in Sweden, with Amnesty Sweden and others.\n\nEarly life \nRivera is from a small village called La Libertad. During the Civil War, her mother vanished; Rivera was 8 years old at the time. At the age of 8, Rivera was attacked and raped by a stranger while walking at night. After this incident, she and her brother went to live in an orphanage near the capital. She completed high school education and worked in factories and retail jobs. In May 2005, she had a baby boy. The relationship between Rivera and the baby's father broke down due to domestic violence. Rivera and her ex-mother-in-law maintained a strong relationship and brought up Rivera's son together.\n\nCourt case \nThe judge in Rivera's case noted two pieces of evidence before giving a guilty verdict. Rivera's factory boss gave a testimony of how Rivera had confided in him in January 2011 suspecting she was pregnant. The judge concluded that Rivera was, therefore, aware of her pregnancy. The baby's autopsy report stated that the baby had been full term and died of prenatal asphyxiation. The judge inferred that the cause of asphyxiation was intentional smothering. He sentenced Rivera to 40 years imprisonment. Rivera disputed the judge's decision, saying had she known about the pregnancy she would have done everything possible to protect the baby.\n\nPrison \nWhile in the overcrowded prison Rivera was often called \"baby killer\". She did small jobs in the prison such as cleaning toilets and collecting rubbish to earn some money. During her time in prison, she saw her son twice. The Salvadoran Citizens’ Group for the Decriminalisation of Abortion (CFDA) mounted a legal defence against Rivera's imprisonment but these appeals were rejected. According to Amnesty International, Rivera shared a prison cell with 250 people. On 20 May 2016, she was released from prison following a court decision to overturn her conviction.\n\nAfter prison \nOn her release, she thanked Amnesty International supporters for campaigning for her release:\"I have been sharing my experience with others – and thanking God that I am not there [in prison] anymore. I am very grateful to every man and woman who has been following my case, with that lighted candle, and who hoped that I would be free. That gave me so much strength, because if you believed it on the outside, I had to believe it too. In El Salvador justice has been served and this needs to happen again with my \"compañeras\". I ask everyone - men and women who followed my case – to support them. I will also join you. I don’t have the economic means, but I have the moral strength to help make them feel strong by keeping alive the hope that they will also be free, and that justice will be done.\"\n\n26 women have been imprisoned for allegedly inducing miscarriages and are serving between 30 and 40-year prison sentences. Such cases, some known as the \"Las 17\", have received media attention in El Salvador and internationally. She was the third woman of \"Las 17\" to be released.\n\nFollowing her release she found it difficult to get a job and was known as a \"baby killer\". The Attorney General said the decision to release Maria Teresa Rivera would be appealed.\n\nSwedish authorities granted Rivera asylum on 17 March 2017. She was the first person granted asylum in Sweden based on persecution following defying an abortion ban. Rivera was given immigration housing for herself and her son by the Swedish government.\n\nReferences \n\n21st-century Salvadoran women\nSalvadoran human rights activists\nYear of birth missing (living people)\nLiving people\nSalvadoran emigrants to Sweden\nSalvadoran feminists\nSalvadoran women activists",

"Marita Covarrubias is a fictional character on the American science fiction television series The X-Files. She was initially introduced as an informant, leaking diplomatic information to FBI Special Agent Fox Mulder to aid his investigation of paranormal cases, dubbed X-Files. However, she was revealed to be an agent of the secretive Syndicate, although ultimately betraying that organization on several occasions. Introduced in the fourth season opener \"Herrenvolk\", the character remained a recurring presence until the series' finale, \"The Truth\".\n\nThe character of Marita Covarrubias was portrayed by Laurie Holden in all her appearances. She was introduced as a replacement for Steven Williams' character X, after the latter was killed by a Syndicate assassin. The character has received mixed criticism, being compared unfavorably to similar characters from the series.\n\nConceptual history\n\nThe X-Files creator Chris Carter felt it would be \"more interesting for Mulder's next contact to be a woman\", noting that he \"wanted there to be some suspicion about whether Mulder would become involved with her romantically. X, the character who had previously filled Covarrubias' role as an informant in the series, had originally been cast as a female character. However Natalija Nogulich, the actress cast in that role, was replaced by Steven Williams after shooting her first scene.\n\nWhen auditioning for the role of Marita Covarrubias, Laurie Holden was not allowed access to an episode script, instead simply being told that her character worked for the United Nations and had an air of \"intelligent seriousness\". The actress had never seen the series before she auditioned for the part, and was required to audition using only three pages of scripted material from what would be her debut episode. Holden was required to learn Russian for the episode \"Patient X\", and commented that roughly fifteen seconds of screen-time took hours to rehearse. The voice coach responsible for instructing Holden and Nicholas Lea in their Russian dialogue tested their proficiency by asking them to speak to Russian-speaking friends of his over the telephone. Holden felt that the two-part episode \"Two Fathers\" and \"One Son\" offered her \"cold, emotionless, private\" character a chance to come across as \"vulnerable, exposed and raw\".\n\nCharacter arc\n\nMarita Covarrubias is introduced as an informant to Fox Mulder (David Duchovny) after the death of his former source, X (Steven Williams). X scrawls the letters \"SRSG\" in his own blood as he dies, leading Mulder to the Special Representative to the Secretary-General of the United Nations. Covarrubias uses her diplomatic connections to help Mulder infiltrate the Russian province of Krasnoyarsk, allowing him to reach the site of the Tunguska event. However, it is later seen that Covarrubias is working for The Smoking Man (William B. Davis) and the Syndicate.\n\nDuring the fifth season, the Syndicate discovered that Covarrubias had betrayed them and was providing information to Mulder. Covarrubias was infected with black oil during her betrayal of the Syndicate, and Syndicate scientists used her to test a vaccine they had been working to create. While the Syndicate-developed vaccine proves ineffective, Covarrubias' infection is ultimately cured by an effective vaccine stolen from a Russian shadow-government group by Alex Krycek. In the following season, Covarrubias is discovered by FBI agent Jeffrey Spender (Chris Owens) at a decontamination chamber. She begs him to help her escape the facility, addressing him by name as well as giving him information about the whereabouts of his mother, Cassandra. Alex Krycek (Nicholas Lea), a former Syndicate agent now acting alone, is also present at the facility. He declines to help the pair, and leaves Covarrubias for dead.\n\nCovarrubias returns in the seventh season finale \"Requiem\", restored to health. She makes contact with Krycek at the behest of The Smoking Man, who wishes to resume the work of the now-eradicated Syndicate. Having been given the location of a downed UFO, she and Krycek betray The Smoking Man, instead going to FBI assistant director Walter Skinner and Mulder to inform them about the craft. They later turn on The Smoking Man, pushing him down a flight of stairs and leaving him for dead.\n\nIn the series finale \"The Truth\", Skinner seeks Covarrubias as a witness in Mulder's trial for murder. After Skinner fails to track her down, the ghost of X hands Mulder a scrap of paper with her new address on it. She is called upon to testify, and speaks about her involvement with the Syndicate to some extent. However, when pressed for further information about the continuation of the conspiracy she clams up, and at Mulder's request is dismissed from the stand for fear that if she divulges certain knowledge, she would be killed.\n\nReception\n\nThe character of Marita Covarrubias has been met with generally negative criticism. Robert Shearman and Lars Pearson, in their book Wanting to Believe: A Critical Guide to The X-Files, Millennium & The Lone Gunmen, felt that the character was \"used so perfunctorily since her introduction\" that her appearances added little to the episodes she featured in, describing her as a \"bad parody\" of the earlier characters Deep Throat and X. Debra Warlick, writing for Cinefantastique, felt that Holden's acting in \"One Son\" was \"heart breaking \", but found that she had \"unfortunately\" been used simply to convey a plot point to other characters. Also writing for Cinefantastique, Paula Vitaris noted that Covarrubias \"is a problematic character\", adding that \"she never breaks out of her function as a plot device\". Zack Handlen, writing for The A.V. Club, felt that Covarrubias' introduction in \"Herrenvolk\" was ill-timed, noting that it \"deflates the importance\" of X's death in the episode.\n\nWriter Frank Spotnitz has described Covarrubias, along with Alex Krycek, as \"young, attractive, vital [and] dangerous\" compared to the other, older, characters working for the Syndicate. Holden has compared the character to Mata Hari, adding that \"you can't really read what she's saying or what her intentions are\". During the series' initial broadcast run, fans referred to Covarrubias as \"UNblonde\", a reference to her United Nations posting and her dyed hair.\n\nFootnotes\n\nReferences\n\nTelevision characters introduced in 1996\nThe X-Files characters\nFictional diplomats\nFictional United Nations personnel"

"Edward Theodore Riley (born October 8, 1967) is an American record producer and songwriter credited with the creation of the R&B-hip hop fusion genre new jack swing. He is the creator and lead singer of the musical group Blackstreet, as well as its precedessor, Guy. The genre also gained popularity from artists who heavily utilized Riley's production and songwriting distinction, namely Michael Jackson, Bobby Brown, Heavy D & the Boyz, Keith Sweat, Hi-Five, and the Jackson 5, among others.\n\nWith Blackstreet and Guy, Riley has released four and three respective studio albums to commercial success. Riley's production became notable for its influence on contemporary R&B, leading to more samples, sound effects and rapping segments as well as singing—a practice which in part was reminiscent of the Jackson family. Riley is also credited with popularizing modern use of the talk box vocoder.\n\nRiley, a two-time Grammy Award winner, achieved his furthest commercial success and notability handling the production for Michael Jackson's \"Remember the Time\" in 1992, Bobby Brown's \"My Prerogative\" in 1988, SWV's \"Right Here (Human Nature Remix)\" in 1992, and his group Blackstreet's hit single \"No Diggity\" (featuring Dr. Dre and Queen Pen) in 1993. In the 2010s and 2020s, Riley began to work with musical groups in the Eastern pop market, producing the hit songs \"Call Me Baby\" for Exo in 2015, \"The Boys\" for Girls' Generation in 2011, and \"Mamacita\" for Super Junior in 2014.\n\nEarly life\nRiley was raised in St. Nicholas Houses in Harlem, New York City. A child prodigy from the age of five, he began playing instruments in church. His uncle, who owned the famed Harlem club The Rooftop, built a studio in the club in which Riley would spend most of his time while growing up. By 14, upstate New York rappers began making music to his tracks.\n\nCareer\nUnder the guidance of local music producer Gene Griffin, Riley formed the short-lived group Kids at Work. At the age of 18, Riley produced Kool Moe Dee's 12\" single \"Go See the Doctor\". Released on an independent label in 1986, the song became a crossover hit, reaching number 89 on the Billboard Hot 100. Riley had previously worked on the production of Doug E. Fresh and the Get Fresh Crew's \"The Show\" in 1985.\n\nIn 1987, Riley, Aaron Hall, and Timmy Gatling formed the R&B group Guy. Managed by Gene Griffin, Riley's work with Guy pioneered the \"new jack swing\" style of R&B. Riley infused his own blend of hip-hop beats, R&B progressions and the gospel vocal stylings of Hall to create the archetypal new jack swing sound on Guy's eponymous debut album. In 1989, Riley produced Big Daddy Kane's \"I Get the Job Done\", as well as other work for the Jacksons, the Winans, and James Ingram. That same year, he helped produce the debut album of his rap group, Wrecks-n-Effect. He also created the highly successful remix of Jane Child's \"Don't Wanna Fall in Love\", which became a crossover pop smash.\n\nAfter the release and tour of Guy's second album, The Future, Riley co-produced half of Michael Jackson's album Dangerous on the recommendation of Jackson's long-time producer Quincy Jones. After the disbandment of Guy in 1992, Riley moved to production, performance on, and promotion of Wreckx-n-Effect's second album Hard or Smooth.\n\nIn late 1991, Riley formed a second group, Blackstreet. The group would go on to release several major hits, including \"Don't Leave Me\" (1997), the number one single \"No Diggity\" (featuring Dr. Dre and Queen Pen) (1996), and \"Girlfriend/Boyfriend\" (with Janet Jackson featuring Ja Rule and Eve) (1999). By 2011, the group had disbanded and reformed several times.\n\nIn 2000, Riley worked with Spice Girl Melanie B on the tracks \"ABC 123\", \"I Believe\", and \"Pack Your Shit\" for her solo debut album Hot. He also worked on an album with Outsiderz 4 Life, producing \"Wil' Out\" and other songs.\n\nAt the start of 2006, he was part of the New Jack Reunion Tour, featuring Blackstreet and Guy, in addition to After 7, SWV, and Tony! Toni! Toné!. In May 2006, Riley announced that he would be working on two key projects: a new Blackstreet album and a new Guy album.\n\nIn 2008, Riley was the victim of a Ponzi scheme that left him bankrupt. In June 2008, a fire destroyed Riley's Virginia Beach recording studio. Fire investigators said that an electrical problem caused the blaze that burned the abandoned recording studio. The Virginia Beach Fire Department said lightning in the area also could have been a factor, although there was no direct\nstrike. The empty studio was for sale and was insured for $336,000.\n\nIn 2009, Riley performed with Guy at the BET Awards. In the same year, Riley worked with Amerie and Robin Thicke on their respective albums. Leading on from his work on Snoop Dogg's album Ego Trippin', Riley became part of the production supergroup QDT, which features DJ Quik as well as Snoop Dogg.\n\nRiley produced and co-wrote the song \"Teeth\" with Lady Gaga for her EP The Fame Monster. Speaking in March 2010 to Blues & Soul's Pete Lewis, Riley said that he was no longer affiliated with Guy (Riley had last performed with the group in October 2010). Riley also said that the current lineup of Blackstreet consisted of himself, Chauncey \"Black\" Hannibal, Dave Hollister, and Sherman \"J-Stylz\" Tisdale. He confirmed that he was working on a new Blackstreet album, though intended to release his own album – entitled TRX – first. Artists he could possibly be working with for the project included Stevie Wonder and Elton John, plus his own new, upcoming acts. However, Hannibal stopped performing with the group and the lineup became Riley, Hollister, Mark Middleton, and Eric Williams. In 2012, Hannibal returned to Blackstreet; Middleton and Williams left the group. As of 2019, the group's lineup now consists of Riley, Hollister, J-Stylz, and Rodney Poe under the name \"Blackstreet 2\".\n\nIn an August 2010, co-executor of the Michael Jackson estate, John Branca, confirmed that a posthumous album of Jackson would be released, containing work done in the previous five years with producers Theron \"Neff-U\" Feemster, Christopher \"Tricky\" Stewart, and Riley, as well as work written and produced solely by Jackson himself. The album Michael was released on December 14, 2010, in the United States. After the release, several people questioned some of the music Riley produced for the project. Riley insisted all of the songs were sung by Jackson and claimed that vocal artifacts were added from overprocessing Jackson's voice. However, Riley made comments in an interview with Dan Dodds (also known as Soul Jones) in which he stated that there were some elements of his voice in the music. Riley is reported to have said, \"They may use some elements from me, put together ideas but I haven't been working on the new album.\"\n\nRecently, Riley has stepped into the Korean music market. Riley worked with rapper Jay Park on an English track titled \"Demon\", which was originally meant for Michael Jackson. Riley produced a mini-album for the girl group Rania.\n\nHe produced the tracks \"Believe\" and \"Flow\" by the R&B group Boyz II Men for the album Twenty. He has also produced Korean girl group Girls' Generation's single \"The Boys\" for the group's first international release. He has also produced songs for Girls' Generation's labelmates Shinee and Exo. He worked with Shinee on \"Beautiful\", \"Shine\", and \"Dangerous\" from their two-part third studio album The Misconceptions of Us. Riley also produced the songs \"Milk\" and \"All Night\" for f(x)'s third studio album Red Light and the song \"What Is Love\" for Exo.\n\nDiscography\n\nWith Kids at Work\n Kids at Work (1984)\n\nWith Guy\n Guy (1988)\n The Future (1990) \n Guy III (2000)\n\nWith Blackstreet\n Blackstreet (1994) \n Another Level (1996) \n Finally (1999) \n Level II (2003)\n\nProduction discography\n\nSingles\n\nProduction credits\n\nReferences\n\n1967 births\nLiving people\nAfrican-American record producers\nRecord producers from New York (state)\nAfrican-American male singer-songwriters\nAmerican dance musicians\nBlackstreet members\nGrammy Award winners\nNew jack swing musicians\nMusicians from Harlem\nSingers from New York City\nAmerican contemporary R&B singers\nRecord producers from Virginia\nPeople from Virginia Beach, Virginia\n21st-century African-American male singers\n20th-century African-American male singers\nSinger-songwriters from New York (state)",
"New jack swing, new jack, or swingbeat is a fusion genre of the rhythms and production techniques of hip hop and dance-pop, and the urban contemporary sound of R&B. Spearheaded by producers Teddy Riley, Bernard Belle, Jimmy Jam and Terry Lewis, new jack swing was most popular from the late 1980s to early 1990s.\n\nMerriam-Webster's online dictionary defines new jack swing as \"pop music usually performed by black musicians that combines elements of jazz, funk, rap, and rhythm and blues.\" Digital synthesizers were heavily used, notably the Yamaha DX7, Korg M1, and Roland D-50. New jack swing took up the trend of using sampled beats and tunes and created beats using electronic drum machines, such as the SP-1200 sampler and Roland TR-808, to lay an \"insistent beat under light melody lines and clearly enunciated vocals.\" The Roland TR-808 was sampled to create distinctive, syncopated, swung rhythms, with its snare sound being especially prominent.\n\nHistory\n\nKyle West remembered 1985 as the year he listened to new jack swing with Teddy Riley. Riley as well as drummer Lenny White credit the start of new jack swing to English singer-songwriter and producer Junior Giscombe and his 1985 single \"Oh Louise\". Some music critics said Full Force's \"Alice, I Want You Just for Me\" (1985) was the first new jack swing song, and Jimmy Jam and Terry Lewis called Full Force and said Alice was their favorite song, and their favorite group was Full Force. After that, Jam & Lewis produced Janet Jackson's digital R&B album, Control (1986). Musicologist Richard J. Ripani PhD, author of The New Blue Music: Changes in Rhythm & Blues, 1950–1999 (2006), observed that the album was one of the first successful records to influence the rise of new jack swing by creating a fusion of R&B, rap, funk, disco and synthesized percussion. The new jack swing sound is particularly evident in the second single, \"Nasty\". The success of Control, according to Ripani, bridged the gap between R&B and rap music. He asserts that \"since Jackson's album was released in 1986 and was hugely successful, it is not unreasonable to assume that it had at least some impact on the new jack swing creations of Teddy Riley.\" Mantronix's early records in the mid-1980s also had new jack elements.\n\nThe term \"new jack swing\" was coined in an October 18, 1987 Village Voice profile of Teddy Riley by Barry Michael Cooper. \"New Jack\" was a slang term (meaning ~'Johnny-come-lately') used in a song by Grandmaster Caz of the Cold Crush Brothers, and \"swing\" was intended by Cooper to draw an \"analogy between the music played at the speakeasies of F. Scott Fitzgerald's time to the crackhouses of Teddy Riley's time.\"\n\nThe term \"new jack swing\" describes the sound produced and engineered by R&B/hip hop artist and producer Teddy Riley. Riley is an American R&B and hip hop singer-songwriter, musician and record producer. He led the band Guy in the late 1980s and Blackstreet in the 1990s. Riley said, \"I define the term [new jack swing] as a new kid on the block who's swinging it.\" The defining feature of Riley's music was the introduction of swingbeats, \"a rhythmic pattern using offbeat accented 16th note triplets.\" In an interview with Revolt TV in 2017, Andre Harrell called Riley the inventor of the sound, hailing him \"the king of New Jack Swing, because he invented it.\"\n\nMusic website VH1.com notes that, while \"hip-hop and R&B are kissing cousins\" in the 2000s, \"the two genres were seldom mentioned in the same breath\" in the early 1980s. However, in the late 1980s, \"during the era of high-top fades, and parachute pants, producer Teddy Riley and label boss Andre Harrell successfully fused and marketed the two sounds in a sexy, exclamatory music that critics termed new jack swing. It sparked a revolution.\" Riley stated that before new jack swing, \"Rappers and singers didn't want anything to do with one another\", because \"Singers were soft, rappers were street.\" Riley's new style blended \"sweet melody and big beats.\" The sensibilities of Riley's fusion of the styles would forever change pop music/hip-hop music pairing and was further popularized with Bad Boy's dominance of the late '90s through much of the same techniques. Riley, a 19-year-old man from Harlem, quickly became an A-list producer and commanded big fees to add his sound to major artist projects.\n\nInfluences\nThe 1989 film Ghostbusters II helped spread new jack swing with its theme song, \"On Our Own\" by Bobby Brown (written by L.A. Reid, Babyface and Daryl Simmons), who was along with Riley nicknamed \"The King of New Jack Swing\". NBC sitcom The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air also boosted the spread of this culture, as the star of the show, Will Smith, was known initially for his hip-hop duo with DJ Jazzy Jeff. During the first episode of the series, Will Smith dances to the Soul II Soul new jack swing single \"Back to Life (However Do You Want Me)\". In other episodes, he sings \"Teddy's Jam\" and \"Rump Shaker\". A Different World, Waynehead and In Living Color are other television programs of the era which exhibit influences from the new jack swing style. Video Soul, Soul Train, Showtime at the Apollo as well as the late night talk show The Arsenio Hall Show also helped to promote these acts.\n\nHouse Party with Kid 'n Play, Boyz n the Hood, Juice, New Jack City, Boomerang, Above the Rim, Poetic Justice, used New Jack Swing songs in their soundtracks. Dance-oriented artists such as Michael Jackson, the Good Girls, Jane Child, Tammy Lucus, Abstrac, Nayobe, Paula Abdul and Bell Biv DeVoe also have new jack swing elements in their late 1980s and early 1990s output.\n\nTo date the most successful new jack swing album is Dangerous, released in 1991 by Michael Jackson, produced by Jackson and Riley, which has sold over 30 million copies worldwide.\n\nGolden age\n\nMany songs with elements of new jack swing ranked in the top 10 of the US R&B and US \"Hot 100\" charts Billboard throughout the late 1980s and early 1990s. It is given the years of 1986 through 1993 as the height of its popularity with it reaching its peak in 1990.\n\nIn the Spring of 1988, Keith Sweat's first new jack swing song \"I Want Her\" peaked at number 5 on the US Billboard Hot 100 chart. It is considered the first official New Jack Swing hit. A few months later, Bobby Brown's \"My Prerogative\" would take the genre even further.\n\nThe musician and record producer Teddy Riley's group Guy, a group which was one of the early pioneers of hip-hop and R&B had a hit with the song \"Groove Me\", which went to number 4 in the US R&B charts, and the 1988 song \"Teddy's Jam\", which ranked number 5 in the US R&B charts. Single \"My Fantasy\" was from the OST Do the Right Thing. \"New Jack City\" was on the soundtrack for the film of the same title. Johnny Kemp's \"Just Got Paid\" also cracked the top 10 on the Billboard Hot 100 in 1988 and went to number 1 on the Hot Dance Music/Club Play. The musician and Al B. Sure! had success with \"Nite and Day\" and other two singles went to the Top 5 of the R&B chart in 1988.\n\nIn 1988, Bobby Brown began his string of Top 10 Billboard hits from his second album, Don't Be Cruel, which ranked number 1 in the US. In that same year, Paula Abdul had the US number 1 hit \"Straight Up\". Tony! Toni! Toné! had three songs in the top ten of the Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Singles & Tracks, including \"Little Walter\" which hit number 1. New Edition after being in a transition due to the departure of Bobby Brown recruited Johnny Gill as his placement, leading to the release of the Jimmy Jam and Terry Lewis produced album Heart Break, which spun off five hit singles \"If It Isn't Love\", \"You're Not My Kind of Girl\", \"Can You Stand the Rain\", \"Crucial\", and \"N.E. Heartbreak\".\n\nIn 1988, Wreckx-n-Effect, a Teddy Riley-produced group which garnered press attention regarding their use of bikini-clad women in their videos, released \"New Jack Swing\", helping to popularize the new name for the emerging style. That same year, Fenderella garnered a hit with \"Mr. DJ\", a song with featured Doug E. Fresh, who was known as the \"human beatbox\" for his realistic imitations of drum machines and other hip-hop sounds.\n\nJimmy Jam and Terry Lewis produced seven top 5 singles off Janet Jackson's 1989 Rhythm Nation 1814 album, which merged the Minneapolis sound with new jack swing. The album included a number of successful tracks, such as the number one Billboard Hot 100 hits \"Miss You Much\". Karyn White, also produced by the Flyte Time team also had hits in the late 1980s and early '90s. Sheena Easton also had a few hits from her 1991 album What Comes Naturally produced by hitmaker Vassel Benford. Other notable new jack swing artists between 1988 and 1993 included Big Daddy Kane's \"I Get The Job Done\" and Kool Moe Dee's \"I Go To Work\", Heavy D. & the Boyz, Teddy Riley and Tammy Lucus, Deja, Abstrac, Nayobe, The Good Girls, Starpoint, Father MC, the Winans, Omar Chandler, James Ingram, Jane Child, Boy George, Kashif, Johnny Gill, Cristopher Williams and Ready for the World. Producer Babyface had a hit with his song \"It's No Crime\", which ranked number 7 in the US charts and number 1 on the US R&B charts. Another Teddy Riley-produced group, Today, had a hit with \"Girl I Got My Eyes on You\", which garnered a number 1 spot on the US R&B charts.\n\nAfter the band New Edition broke up, its former members formed several splinter groups or acts, including Bell Biv DeVoe, Johnny Gill, Ralph Tresvant, and Bobby Brown. In 1990, several ex-New Edition members had hit songs. Bell Biv DeVoe's songs \"Poison\" and \"Do Me!\", as well as Johnny Gill's single \"Rub You the Right Way\", all made it to number 3 in the US top 100. Ralph Tresvant had a number 4 hit (US top 100 charts) and number 1 hit (US R&B) with his song \"Sensitivity\", with another on the House Party 2 soundtrack \"Yo Baby Yo\". Also in 1990 pop singer Whitney Houston recorded \"I'm Your Baby Tonight\", produced by Babyface & Antonio \"L.A.\" Reid (later become record executive). The single topped the US Hot 100, giving Babyface his first produced number 1 song while further helping to bring the genre to the mainstream.\n\nIn 1990, Samuelle, a former member of the disco-infused dance-urban group Club Nouveau had a number 1 R&B hit with \"So You Like What You See\". Troop also had a number 1 hit with a single from their second album, Attitude, entitled \"Spread My Wings\". \"Feels Good\" by the Oakland, California group Tony! Toni! Toné! reached number 1 on the R&B charts in 1990, and it also placed on the US top 100 (number 9) and on the dance charts (number 3). Today charted again in 1990 with \"Why You Gettin' Funky on Me?\", which reached number 2 on the R&B charts. \"Let's Chill\" by Guy garnered a number 3 spot on the US R&B charts.\n\n\"Feels Like Another One\" is a 1991 single co-written and recorded by singer Patti LaBelle off her album, Burnin. The new jack swing-styled track was the leading track for LaBelle's eleventh solo album and featured a rap from rapper Big Daddy Kane. The track became successful on the R&B chart as it ended up peaking at number three on the Hot R&B Singles chart. The video for the song was shot at the Apollo Theater and also featured Kane, who appeared at LaBelle's show wearing a tux. The song would help LaBelle's album go gold. Color Me Badd had a number 1 hit with \"I Wanna Sex You Up\". That same year, Christopher Williams released a single \"I'm Dreamin'\" from the New Jack City soundtrack, which became a number 1 single on Billboard′s Hot R&B/Hip-Hop chart. Boyz II Men's debut single \"Motownphilly\" was a number 1 R&B and top 5 U.S. pop hit. \"I Like the Way (The Kissing Game)\" by Hi-Five garnered the US number 1 and R&B number 1 spots. Jodeci's debut album Forever My Lady garnered three number 1 R&B Hits in the fall of 1991 (\"Forever My Lady\", \"Stay\", and \"Come and Talk To Me\").\n\"Exclusivity\" by Damian Dame charted as number-one R&B single, spending two weeks at the top position, a position also achieved by the Rude Boys with their song \"Are You Lonely For Me\".\n\nIn 1992, Michael Jackson's singles \"Remember the Time\" and \"In the Closet\" placed in the top 10 on the Billboard Hot 100, the top 2 in the Hot Dance Music/Club category, and reached number 1 in the Hot R&B/Hip-Hop category. \"Jam\" also reached the top 5 in Hot Dance Music/Club and Hot R&B/Hip-Hop. Joe Public's single \"Live and Learn\" hit number 4 on the U.S. Billboard Hot 100, number 3 on Billboard′s Hot R&B/Hip-Hop chart and becoming the group's most successful single. In 1993 Teddy Riley's new group Blackstreet got new jack swing hit \"Baby Be Mine\". Chuckii Booker scored a number 1 R&B hit with his song \"Games\". That same year, \"She's Got That Vibe\" by R. Kelly and Public Announcement reached the number 7 position on the R&B charts. \"Weak\" by SWV (Sisters With Voices) hit the number one spot on both the US top 100 and the R&B charts.

On the TLC Tip (1992) had several hits, including \"What About Your Friends\", \"Ain't 2 Proud 2 Beg\" and \"Baby-Baby-Baby\".\n\nIn 1995, Montell Jordan had a number one new jack swing hit, in \"This is How We Do It\", which after its release saw the popularity of the genre decline. As hip hop culture became increasingly ubiquitous, the pop-crossover approach and perceived artifice of new jack swing began to lose its appeal with young urban listeners. Even the creator of the New Jack Swing, Teddy Riley, made his sound evolve with his second supergroup BLACKStreet, with their 1994's eponymous first album. A sound he sometimes called \"Heavy R&B\" in interviews.\n\nThe last hit single to use the classic new jack swing sound was Michael Jackson's \"Blood on the Dance Floor\", released in 1997.\n\nIncorporation into pop music\nAustralian pop singer Kylie Minogue incorporated a strong new jack swing sound into her 1991 album Let's Get to It, most notably the lead single \"Word Is Out\".

"Robert Barisford Brown Sr. (born February 5, 1969) is an American singer, songwriter, rapper, and dancer. Brown, alongside frequent collaborator Teddy Riley, is noted as one of the pioneers of new jack swing: a fusion of hip hop and R&B. Brown started his career in the R&B and pop group New Edition, from its inception in 1978 until his exit from the group in December 1985.\n\nOnce he started a solo career, Brown enjoyed commercial and critical success with his second album Don't Be Cruel (1988) which spawned five Billboard Hot 100 top 10 singles, including the number one hit \"My Prerogative\", and the Grammy Award-winning \"Every Little Step\". In 1989, Brown contributed two songs to the soundtrack of Ghostbusters II. Brown's next album Bobby (1992) spawned several singles including \"Humpin' Around\", \"Get Away\", and \"Good Enough\". However, despite going 3× Platinum, sales of Bobby did not reach the level of its predecessor. Brown has sold over 50 million copies worldwide. Also in 1992, Brown married the superstar singer Whitney Houston, with whom he later had a daughter named Bobbi Kristina Brown. The couple's drug issues and domestic disputes made them tabloid fodder.\n\nBrown also appeared in the films A Thin Line Between Love and Hate and Two Can Play That Game. He returned to New Edition for a reunion album and tour from 1996 to 1997, and returned with all six members for another stint in 2005. Brown and Houston starred in the 2005 reality show Being Bobby Brown. Houston, who filed for divorce two years later in 2007, died in 2012, followed by the death of their daughter in 2015.\n\nEarly life \nBrown was born in Boston, Massachusetts, as one of eight children. His mother Carole Elizabeth (born Williams) was a substitute teacher, and his father Herbert James Brown was a construction worker. Brown grew up in Roxbury's Orchard Park Projects. Brown's first taste of being onstage occurred when he was three and one of his childhood idols, James Brown, performed in Boston. This performance sparked a dream of becoming a singer. Brown joined the church choir, where he recognized and developed his singing abilities. Brown's musical influences also include Rick James, Michael Jackson, Marvin Gaye, and Prince.\n\nMusic career\n\nNew Edition \n\nNew Edition was founded in 1981 by 12-year-old Brown and childhood friends Michael Bivins and Ricky Bell. Ralph Tresvant joined the group at the suggestion of Bell who sang with Tresvant as a duo. Brown was also familiar with Tresvant since they were children. In 1982, they became a quintet when their manager Brooke Payne insisted on bringing in his nephew Ronnie DeVoe, to complete the group. After performing in several talent shows in the Boston area in 1979, they signed a deal with fellow Bostonian Arthur Baker's Streetwise Records, who released their debut album Candy Girl. The title track, on which Brown sang co-lead alongside Bell and Tresvant, was a top-20 hit on Billboard's R&B Singles Chart in 1983. Brown's first full lead vocal performance was on the New Edition ballad \"Jealous Girl\", which was a minor hit when it also charted in 1983. The group became pop sensations with their self-titled second release. The album included the crossover hits \"Cool It Now\" and \"Mr. Telephone Man\", which Brown also co-led.\n\nDespite the group's success, however, Brown felt the group was never rightfully paid the money they felt they had earned, later saying, \"The most I saw from all the tours and all of the records we sold was $500 and a VCR.\" Brown also allegedly grew jealous of the attention given to fellow New Edition member Ralph Tresvant, and during some of their tour performances would often step out of his position and perform out of turn, singing and performing seductively, which caused concern within the group's management team. Brown was featured on two more New Edition albums before leaving the group in early 1986. Brown later said he felt that the group's management treated them \"like little slaves by people who were only interested in money and power, and not in the welfare of New Edition\". Some controversy arose over the way Brown was removed from the group. Some say Brown asked to be let out of New Edition, but a VH-1 Behind the Music documentary on the group claimed Brown was voted out by the group via their management team, with the members—most prominently Tresvant—against the decision.\n\nSolo career \nFollowing his exit from New Edition, Brown signed a contract with his former group's label, MCA (which had earlier promised Brown a solo deal if he had decided to leave New Edition), and also signed with manager Steven Machat, who had also worked with New Edition. The label released his debut album King of Stage in 1986. Brown had a number-one R&B hit with the ballad \"Girlfriend\", but the album otherwise failed to perform well.\n\nBrown laid low for more than a year while working on his follow-up album. With the help of Machat and MCA representative Louil Silas, Brown began working with some of the top R&B producers and songwriters of the time, including Babyface, Antonio \"L.A.\" Reid and Teddy Riley. The producers helped to compose what became Brown's most successful solo album of his career, Don't Be Cruel. Released in 1988, the album launched five top-ten hits on the Billboard Hot 100, including the number-one single, the self-penned \"My Prerogative\", which became, along with \"Every Little Step\" and the title track, signature hits for the performer. After topping both the pop and R&B charts, album sales would eventually reach twelve million copies worldwide, making it the bestselling album of 1989. In February 1990, he won the Grammy Award for Best Male R&B Vocal Performance for the album's fourth single \"Every Little Step\". Don't Be Cruel also garnered Brown two American Music Awards, a Soul Train Music Award and a People's Choice Award.\n\nIn 1989, Brown contributed two songs to the soundtrack of Ghostbusters II, and he also had a cameo role in the film. The first track on that album, \"On Our Own\" became another top-ten single for the singer, peaking at number two. The same year, a remix compilation, Dance!...Ya Know It!, was released, and found fans in the United Kingdom. Brown embarked on a 120-day world tour to promote Don't Be Cruel in 1988, with Al B. Sure! opening for him, and New Edition also opening for him on some dates. The tour lasted into the spring of 1991, but not without Brown gaining notoriety for simulating sexual acts onstage, which got him into trouble with local law enforcement. In 1990, Brown performed \"Tap into My Heart\" at the 1990 MTV Awards, and was set to release the album Mystical Magic, but it was eventually shelved for reasons unknown and wasn't released. In 1990, Brown was featured on the number-one hit \"She Ain't Worth It\" by Glenn Medeiros, making it his second number 1 hit on the pop chart, and also collaborated with Babyface for the remix of the latter's single \"Tender Lover\" that same year. In 1991, Brown collaborated with New Edition member Ralph Tresvant on the latter's single \"Stone Cold Gentleman\", which was a top-five R&B hit.\n\nBrown's next album Bobby was released in 1992. Despite its release during the final days of the New Jack Swing era it was a success, selling more than 3 million copies, and spawning several hit singles including \"Humpin' Around\", \"Get Away\", and \"Good Enough\". He received his second Grammy Award for Best Male R&B Vocal Performance nomination for \"Humpin' Around\". He received his third American Music Award in January 1993. However, sales of Bobby did not match its predecessor. Whitney Houston and Brown had recorded a song together, \"Something in Common\", which was released as a single from the Bobby album.\n\nIn 1994, dance producers K-Klass remixed \"Two Can Play That Game\" from the Bobby album, it would become Brown's biggest single in the UK peaking at No.3 in 1995.\n\nFour years later, he would release his fourth solo album Forever, in 1997. The album's only single, \"Feeling Inside\", was not successful.\n\nPrior to the release of Forever, Brown had been in negotiations with rapper Tupac Shakur to sign with Shakur's new label Makaveli Records, or with the proposed label Death Row East. However, Shakur died before that could take place. Leaving MCA following Forever, Brown laid low for several years, appearing as a featured artist in 2001 on two tracks from The Benzino Project, and in 2002 he was featured in a duet with rapper Ja Rule on the song \"Thug Lovin'\". Brown was signed to Murder Inc. Records, but that label had already begun to dissolve, so Brown's tenure with them was brief. In 2006, Brown appeared adding vocals to Damian Marley's song \"Beautiful\" on Marley's album, Welcome to Jamrock.\n\nIn 2008, Brown planned to release a book titled Bobby Brown: The Truth, the Whole Truth and Nothing But, written by author Derrick Handspike. When controversial comments that Brown made about his ex-wife, Whitney Houston, were leaked to the media, he backed out of the project. Handspike released the book after Houston's death in 2012.\n\nIn 2010, Brown was featured in a duet with singer Macy Gray on the song \"Real Love\" on Gray's album The Sellout. About this project, Gray explained to Essence, \"Actually, he came to the studio, since he doesn't live far, and knocked out his recording in two hours. We're friends, and his one-year-old son is my godson. His fiancée is one of my best friends in the whole world. I met Bobby a long time ago, but we really got to know each other through her.\"\n\nOn June 5, 2012, Brown released his fifth album, The Masterpiece, which debuted at number 41 on the Billboard R&B album chart.\n\nOn February 14, 2017, Brown performed at the Valentine's Day Music Festival with Keith Sweat, Avant and El DeBarge.\n\nNew Edition reunions \nBrown made his first reunited appearance with New Edition at the 1990 MTV Video Music Awards. Their performance later sparked the recording of Bell Biv DeVoe's \"Word to the Mutha!\" in 1991 (on which Brown, Ralph Tresvant and later NE member Johnny Gill were included). A fully-fledged reunion occurred with the 1996 release of the album, Home Again. Brown contributed lead vocals on two hit singles, \"Hit Me Off\" and \"You Don't Have to Worry\". However, a subsequent 1997 tour to support the album led to problems between Brown and the other New Edition members. Brown later admitted that he was struggling with drug addiction and alcoholism during the tour.\n\nIn 2005, at the BET 25th Anniversary Special, Brown again reunited with New Edition. In 2008, Brown, Ralph Tresvant, and Johnny Gill then formed a splinter group, Heads of State, to compete with Bell Biv DeVoe. At the 2009 BET Awards, following the death of the group's idol Michael Jackson, all six of the New Edition members again reunited to perform a medley of Jackson 5 hits in honor of Jackson. This sparked rumors of another full-fledged New Edition reunion, which was confirmed the following year.\n\nBrown and New Edition continue to perform together, including The Culture Tour, which began in early 2022.\n\nActing and television career \nBrown made his acting debut with a cameo appearance in the 1989 film, Ghostbusters II, playing the Mayor's doorman. The following year, he appeared in the HBO kids show, Mother Goose Rock 'n' Rhyme playing all three characters of Three Blind Mice. In 1995, he made another guest appearance in the film, Panther, and had a major role in the Martin Lawrence film, A Thin Line Between Love and Hate. Brown made other guest appearances in the films Two Can Play That Game, Gang of Roses, Nora's Hair Salon and Go for Broke.\n\nIn 2005, Brown was in negotiations with the Bravo television network for a reality series entitled Being Bobby Brown. Bravo, however, was not ready to commit to the deal unless Brown's superstar wife Whitney Houston agreed to be part of the cast, which she did. The show then received the greenlight from Bravo and was a massive success in the ratings, with Houston proving so popular on the series that she received as much screen time as the show's name-sake. The series showed Brown and Houston not always in their best moments. The Hollywood Reporter said that the show was \"undoubtedly the most disgusting and execrable series ever to ooze its way onto television\". Despite the perceived train-wreck nature of the show, it continued Houston's unbroken string of hit motion pictures and television projects, and it gave Bravo its highest ratings ever of any of its ongoing series. The show lasted one season and ended in 2006 after Houston stated she would not appear in season two and Bravo and Brown could not settle on a new deal.\n\nIn June 2007, Brown took part in the ITV television series 24 Hours With..., a chat show format as celebrity and interviewer spend an intense 24 hours locked in a room together. The show's host, Jamie Campbell, asked Brown questions about his career and private life, and infamously joked about making \"sexual moves\" towards the singer. Brown was furious and threatened to beat Campbell up live on air. Brown's later tenures in reality shows included appearances on Real Husbands of Hollywood, Celebrity Fit Club and Gone Country.\n\nIn 2021, Brown competed in season five of The Masked Singer as the wild card contestant \"Crab\". At one point after performing Rick James's song \"Give It to Me Baby\", Brown had to be briefly taken to his dressing room when he became overheated and short of breath in his costume. He was later eliminated on Week 7 alongside Tamera Mowry as \"Seashell\".\n\nIn May 2022, Biography: Bobby Brown and Bobby Brown: Every Little Step began airing on A&E. Brown is an executive-producer of both the documentary-style and reality television series about his life.\n\nPersonal life \nIn 1995, Brown was with Steven Sealy when Sealy was targeted in a drive-by shooting. Sealy, Brown's sister's boyfriend, was killed and Brown was unharmed. The shooter, John Tibbs, took a plea agreement in 2001.\n\nBrown's parents, Carole and Herbert Brown, died within a year of each other. Carole died in 2011 and Herbert \"Pops\" in January 2012, a month before Bobby's former wife Whitney Houston's death.\n\nMarriages \nBrown first met Whitney Houston at the Soul Train Music Awards in 1989. They began a close friendship after Houston invited Brown to her birthday party. Their friendship developed into a romance. In 1991, Brown proposed marriage to Houston and the couple married at Houston's estate on July 18, 1992. Their daughter Bobbi Kristina Brown was born in 1993. Houston and Brown later collaborated on the hit single \"Something in Common\", which included their daughter at the end of the music video.\n\nThroughout their marriage, there were rumors of infidelity on Brown's part, alcohol and drug abuse, and domestic violence. Their personal issues became fodder for talk shows and sketch comedy shows. Some sketch comedy shows portrayed Brown as a has-been who is jealous of his wife's celebrity status. In 2003, Brown was charged with battery after an altercation with Houston.\n\nIn 2005, the couple participated in the reality show Being Bobby Brown, which gave a picture of their lives behind the scenes. In September 2006, Houston filed for legal separation and later divorce. Their divorce was finalized on April 24, 2007, with Houston receiving custody of their 14-year-old daughter. In a September 2009 interview with Oprah Winfrey, Houston admitted to sometimes using drugs with Brown, stating that Brown had \"laced marijuana with cocaine\". Houston also told Winfrey that Brown had been abusive during their marriage and even spat on her on one occasion while drunk.\n\nFollowing the death of Houston on February 11, 2012, six days after his 43rd birthday, Brown struggled to perform at a New Edition show, shouting \"I love you, Whitney\" in tears. Brown then excused himself from the stage and New Edition finished the remainder of the show. Brown appeared at Houston's memorial service in New Jersey but was asked to leave by the family's security. In an interview given to The Today Show in May 2012, Brown said security was the reason he and his family left the service; Brown stated that he loved Houston's family and told Matt Lauer that he had spent \"14 beautiful years\" with Houston as his wife. Along with Clive Davis, Ray J, and others, Brown has been accused of contributing to the singer's death, which he denies.\n\nIn 2009, Brown had a son named Cassius with his partner of two years, manager Alicia Etheredge. Brown and Etheredge became engaged in May 2010, when Brown proposed during a performance at the Funk Fest in Jacksonville, Florida. The couple married on June 18, 2012, in Hawaii and have since had two daughters.\n\nChildren \nBrown has fathered seven children. His eldest, Landon, was born on June 22, 1986, to Melika Williams. He has two children with Kim Ward, whom he met around 1980; daughter La'Princia (born 1989) and son Bobby Brown, Jr. (1991–2020). His and Ward's on-and-off 11-year relationship ended in 1991. At three months pregnant, Ward found out Brown was engaged to Whitney Houston. Houston suffered miscarriages in 1992, 1994, and 1996. His only child with Houston, Bobbi Kristina Brown, was born on March 4, 1993. Brown has three children with Alicia Etheredge: a son born in 2009, and daughters born in 2015 and 2016.\n\nIn January 2015, Brown's daughter Bobbi Kristina was found unconscious in her bathtub at her residence in Roswell, Georgia. The 21-year-old was rushed to North Fulton Hospital where she was placed on a ventilator in a medically induced coma to stop the swelling of her brain. It was reported her brain activity was \"low\". Brown rushed to his daughter's side and released a statement to the press requesting them to respect the family's privacy. She was later transferred to Emory University Hospital. After doctors concluded significant brain function was unlikely to occur, Bobbi Kristina was removed from the ventilator and put in the care of Hospice in Duluth, Georgia. She died there on July 26, 2015, at age 22.\n\nOn November 18, 2020, Brown's son Bobby Jr., age 28, was found dead in his home.\n\nHealth and drug use \nAs a child, Brown was diagnosed with ADD and later with bipolar disorder at age 32. Brown said that his drug of choice was marijuana and that he had developed alcoholism at an early age. Brown was doing drugs all his life before he met Whitney Houston \"I never used cocaine until after I met Whitney. Before then, I had experimented with other drugs, but marijuana was my drug of choice,\" he said. Throughout the 1990s, his drug addiction worsened and at one point he was cooking cocaine and using heroin.\n\nAccording to former gang member David Collins, Brown was kidnapped by New York street gang the Preacher Crew over a $25,000 drug debt in 1993. Houston paid a $400,000 ransom to the gang who threatened to kill Brown. The incident was never reported to authorities.\n\nLegal issues \nSince 1989, Brown has been arrested multiple times for various offenses:\n In September 1990, Brown was charged with disorderly conduct for refusing to leave a restaurant after his brother Tommy was arrested.\n In April 1995, Brown and two friends were charged in the beating of a nightclub patron in Orlando. Police reported that after his arrest, Brown urinated in a police patrol car and scratched four-letter words in the vinyl. The charges were dropped after the victim settled a civil lawsuit against Brown.\n In August 1995, Brown was cited for battery after police said he kicked a hotel security guard who was sent to his room to check out noise complaints.\n In January 1998, Brown was convicted in Florida of two misdemeanors: driving under the influence and causing property damage. The charges stemmed from 1996 when Brown crashed Houston's sports car into a condominium sign. He served five days in jail then was released on probation.\n In June 1998, Brown was arrested on suspicion of sexual battery for allegedly slapping a woman's bottom at the Beverly Hills Hotel. The case was dropped due to insufficient evidence.\n From May to June 2000, Brown spent 26 days in jail after he was arrested by U.S. Customs agents in New Jersey following a trip from the Bahamas. The arrest stemmed from an outstanding warrant for violating probation in his 1996 drunken driving conviction. The warrant had been issued in June 1999, after Brown's probation officer reported that cocaine had been found in his urine test twice.\n In November 2002, Brown was arrested on drug and traffic charges, and later discovered he was wanted on the 1996 warrant.\n In January 2003, Brown served an eight-day sentence in the DeKalb County, Georgia, jail after he pleaded guilty to a 1996 drunken driving charge and a count of speeding.\n In August 2003, Brown was sentenced to 14 days in jail for probation violations stemming from a 1996 drunken driving charge. His sentence was followed by 60 days of house arrest.\n In December 2003, Brown was charged with battery for striking his wife Whitney Houston and threatening to \"beat her ass.\" Police reported that Houston had visible injuries to her face.\n In March 2004, Brown was sentenced to 90 days in jail for owing $63,000 in back child support to Kim Ward. After spending one night in jail, he was released when he paid off the debt.\n In June 2004, Brown received a suspended 90-day prison sentence for missing three consecutive child support payments. The sentence was suspended after six days when Brown made the back payments.\n In February 2007, Brown was sentenced to 30 days in jail for unpaid child support in the amount of $20,000 to Kim Ward. He was released after 3 days when a radio station paid his fees.\n In April 2012, Brown was arrested for drunken driving. He spent time in a \"confidential rehabilitation center\" as part of his plea deal.\n In October 2012, Brown was arrested for drunken driving. He was ordered to attend at least three Alcoholics Anonymous sessions each week until he reported to the Los Angeles County jail. In February 2013, Brown was sentenced to 55 days in jail and four years of summary probation following his second drunken driving conviction in a year. He was released after serving nine hours and put on electronic monitoring by Los Angeles County Probation.\n\nIn popular culture \nBrown popularized the Roger Rabbit dance (aka the \"backwards\" running man), as performed in the music video for his song \"Every Little Step\" (1989), along with the Gumby-style hi-top fade. Brown has claimed that he taught Michael Jackson how to do the moonwalk.\n\nBrown was spoofed by Aries Spears on MADtv, with Whitney Houston portrayed by Debra Wilson. He was also spoofed by Tracy Morgan and Finesse Mitchell on Saturday Night Live. Brown was portrayed by Arlen Escarpeta in the television film Whitney, by Woody McClain in the 2017 miniseries The New Edition Story and in the 2018 miniseries about his life, The Bobby Brown Story. Brown is also portrayed by Ashton Sanders in the Whitney Houston biopic, Whitney Houston: I Wanna Dance with Somebody, that was released Christmas 2022.\n\nIn 2022, Brown also claimed he started wearing the \"diaper pants\" that MC Hammer altered and made famous, on his A&E show Bobby Brown: Every Little Step. However, Brown wore a less sagging variation during some concerts and in music videos, such as \"My Prerogative\" (1988) and \"Every Little Step\" (1989).\n\nDiscography\n\nStudio albums\n King of Stage (1986)\n Don't Be Cruel (1988)\n Bobby (1992)\n Forever (1997)\n The Masterpiece (2012)\n\nWith New Edition\n Candy Girl (1983)\n New Edition (1984)\n All for Love (1985)\n Home Again (1996)\n\nTours \n Heartbreak Tour (with Al B.

"Abdul Jabar Qahraman (1959 – October 17, 2018) was an Afghan Army general, militia leader and politician who came to prominence for his ability to mobilize large amounts of men to join his pro government militias. Qahraman played a significant role in Afghan politics in the late 1980s and early 90s. He transitioned from a militia leader to a party leader in the 2010s. Qahraman was assassinated by the Taliban on October 18, 2018.\n\nEarly career and military background \nAbdul Jabar Qahraman was born to a Nurzai Pashtun family in Spin Boldak, Kandahar province. His family had a modest background, with his father being a shopkeeper. However, Qahraman's exceptional talents were recognized early on when he was talent-spotted by the national military commission during his time at the Ghazi Abdullah Khan Lycee in Kandahar. In 1976, he was sent to Kabul to join the military high school.\n\nHowever, the Saur Revolution in Afghanistan in 1978 influenced Qahraman's path. Some of his peers opted to join militant groups, believing the conflict to be a struggle between Islam and the non-believers. Qahraman initially joined Hezb-e Islami led by Gulbuddin Hekmatyar but eventually had a change of heart, realizing that the group's alignment with Pakistan might not serve Afghanistan's national interests. He returned to Kandahar with the help of friends in the Ministry of Interior and the intelligence agency, KHAD. He was sent to Tashkent for 3 months of training, afterwards being deployed to Spin Boldak as part of KhAD. He initially recruited 25 men until he was transferred to Maiwand where he built up another group and was extremely successful commanding a militia of over 500 men. In 1984 the Ministry of Defense realized Jabar's potential to build up militias transferring him out of KHAD. He retained his base in Maiwand but ended up commanding an independent brigade group in 1988. Jabar's forces were deployed in Hemland, Paktia, Kandahar and were tasked with protecting the Kandahar-Kabul highway. He was reportedly on a first names basis with President Najibullah, Defense Minister Mohammed Rafie and key members of both Parcham and Khalq. In Maiwan Jabar got the nickname \"Qahraman\" meaning Hero for pushing back the Mujahedeen. Later on his militia received division status and even got higher pay then the Afghan Army itself.\n\nIn August 1991 Soviet hardliners launched a coup against President Gorbachav, the coup failed, many of the coup supporters being supporters of the Najibullah Government. In January 1992 the new Russian President Boris Yeltsin ceased all support for the Najibullah government. Being internationally isolated Najibullah announced his willingness to resign in March 1992. This led to many of his Militias and own party members switching sides mostly based on ethnic lines. In April 1992 Najibullah was removed from power by 4 Tajik Generals who invited Ahmad Shah Massoud into Kabul. The predominantly Pashtun Khalqist generals aligned with Gulbuddin Hekmatyar while Tajik Generals aligned with Massoud. Jabar talked directly to Hekmatyar and rejoined Hezbi Islami helping Hekmatyar's forces into Kabul to counter the militias of Ahamd Shah Massoud. Jabar would be the de facto ruler of Helmand province from 1992 to 1993. Realizing his secular enclave would not last he persuaded fellow Najibullah era militiaman Dostum to help conduct an aerial evacuation of the Helmand Militia.\n\nExile \nDuring his period of exile, Jabar spent time in different locations. He enjoyed protection under veteran nationalist politician Mahmood Khan Achakzai in Quetta. Additionally, he found support and shelter in Mazar-i-Sharif, under the protection of General Abdul Rashid Dostum.\n\nApart from these external locations, Jabar also spent time in Moscow, where he engaged in export-import business activities. Throughout his exile, Jabar continued to offer advice and insights but refrained from being a major conflict actor.\n\nReturn and assassination \n\nAfter the fall of the Taliban Jabar returned to Helmand opening a tuition center in Lashkargah. The center had a flower garden, taught advanced mathematics, computing, language and science. In 2010, he was elected to the Afghan parliament, where he used his intelligence and charisma to make an impact. Jabar's presence in parliament was notable, as it also included former commanders who had faced each other on opposing frontlines during the 1980s and 1990s.\n\nPresident Ashraf Ghani recognized Jabar's political acumen and appointed him as a special representative for security in Helmand province. However, his experience in this role challenging as Helmand had become more factionalized then it was in the late 1980s. He later stepped down citing corruption in the government.\n\nIn July 2017, Jabar was one of many people who have attempted to relaunch Dr Najibullah's Hezb-e Watan (Homeland Party) which had been defunct and officially banned since May 1992. On October 17, 2018, Jaber was assassinated in his office 2 days before the elections. The Taliban claimed responsibility.\n\nPersonal life \nJabar was married with one son and two daughters.

"Mushtaq Ahmed (; 5 December 1967 - 25 February 2021), popularly known as Kumir Bhai, was a Bangladeshi dissident, writer, and entrepreneur. His pen name was Michael Kumir Thakur. He founded the first ever commercial Crocodile breeding farm in Bangladesh. His book Kumir Chashir Diary was published in 2018. He was working on another book. He was accused with 10 others of sharing cartoons in social media posts criticizing the Bangladeshi government's corrupt and mismanaged response to covid-19 pandemic and was detained in pre-trial for almost a year. On 25 February 2021 he died in jail, after being denied bail 6 times.\n\nPersonal life\nAhmed passed the SSC and HSC examination from Faujdarhat Cadet College. He then attended the University of Chittagong. Ahmed was married to Lipa Akhter. He was his parents’ only son.\n\nMushtaq Ahmed was an activist and used to write Facebook posts about contemporary socio-political issues. In one of his Facebook posts before his arrest in May 2020, Ahmed expressed his frustration about covid-19 pandemic management by Bangladesh Government and wrote, \"When a society laments the loss of an economy more than the loss of human life, it doesn't need a virus, it's already sick.\"\n\nArrest and death\n\nArrest\nOn 6 May 2020, around 1:00am, Rapid Action Battalion-3 arrested Ahmed from his home in Dhaka for criticising Bangladesh government's handling of the Covid-19 pandemic in 10 Facebook posts and links. After 8 months, he was charged under the notorious 2018 Digital Security Act, though the act allows a maximum 105 days for completing investigation and submitting charges. Digital Security Act is alleged to be used in Bangladesh to crack down on political dissent. Around 2000 cases have been filed from 2018 to the beginning of 2021 under Digital Security Act.\n\nSix civilians, including security guards of houses and malls, peon and relatives, have been made witnesses of the case against Ahmed, but five of them told Prothom Alo that they didn’t give any such testimony to the police.\n\nDetention\nFor the whole 9 months, from Ahmed's arrest to his death, his family was not able to meet him. Visit to prison was not allowed due to the pandemic. Two days before his death, the prosecution produced him before the court for bail hearing, only to be denied bail. In all, his bail appeals were denied six times. His wife started suffering from mental illness when bail was denied for the fourth time and needed hospitalization. Human rights organizations around the world decried his arrest and prolonged detention without trial, without bail. Mahfuz Anam, Editor and Publisher, The Daily Star, wrote, \"writer Mushtaq was condemned and his punishment implemented without the minimum due process of law being available to him.\"\n\nDeath\nIn an interview with The Daily Star, cartoonist Ahmed Kabir Kishore, Ahmed's co-accused, revealed that Ahmed was tortured in custody. Ahmed died on 25 February 2021, after collapsing in Kashimpur High Security Jail with low blood pressure. He was first taken to Jail hospital and later to Shaheed Tajuddin Medical College Hospital where the doctor pronounced him dead on arrival. According to the postmortem report, Mushtaq died naturally even though Mushtaq's lawyer and Mushtaq's co-accused Kishore claimed that Mushtaq was tortured. According to Mushtaq's lawyer Mushtaq was held in prison for nine months and denied bail despite being in poor health. He was buried at Azimpur graveyard.\n\nAfter his death, in an interview with Prothom Alo, senior jail superintendent Md Gias Uddin said that Mushtaq Ahmed was very gentle and quiet. He was a good person. He did not complain about any issues. Ahmed read books about history and other subjects in prison. Gias Uddin also confirmed that Mushtaq was not suffering from any major illness. \"We saw him taking only gastric tablets\" he told journalists.\n\nReactions\n\nDomestic\n\nAhmed's death sparked widespread protests across the country demanding justice, repeal of the Digital Security Act and release of all detainees under the act. During the march of 300 protesters at the University of Dhaka and at the National Press Club, security forces clashed with them. The students were chanting \"justice\" near the Dhaka University campus when police lashed out with batons and fired rubber bullets and tear gas rounds. Thirty activists were injured during the clash and six people were arrested by police. Journalists, civil society and many political parties including the Bangladesh Nationalist Party termed his death as state sponsored murder. Bangladesh's National Human Rights Commission said the state cannot avoid responsibility for the death which is a gross violation of human rights.\n\nResponding to a query on Ahmed's death, the Prime Minister of Bangladesh - Sheikh Hasina, counter questioned, \"What can be done if someone falls ill and dies?\". “No death is desired. It is also not desired that unrest will be created”, she added.\n\nAsaduzzaman Khan Kamal, Home Minister of Bangladesh told journalists that Mushtaq Ahmed violated the law and there were cases against him. He also alleged that Mushtaq Ahmed hurt the faiths of others through his writing several times.\n\nInternational\nUnited Nations (UN) High Commissioner for Human Rights Michelle Bachelet urged independent investigation into Ahmed's death and overhaul of Digital Security Act. Thirteen diplomatic mission heads in Bangladesh - including France, the UK and the US, called on the Government of Bangladesh to conduct a swift and transparent inquiry into his death. They questioned Digital Security Act's compatibility with Bangladesh’s obligations under international human rights laws and standards. Nine international human rights organizations have urged the Bangladesh government to repeal the Digital Security Act. They asked the UN to review Bangladesh’s security forces' and law-enforcement agencies' participation in UN Peacekeeping Operations, given their concerning record of human rights abuses.\n\n“Ahmed’s death has sent a chill through Bangladesh civil society and should force the government into ending this peremptory treatment of peaceful criticism,” said Brad Adams, Asia director of Human Rights Watch. “Posting satire about the ruling Awami League on Facebook should not amount to the equivalent of a death sentence”, he added.\n\nAliya Iftikhar, Committee to Protect Journalists's senior Asia researcher said, \"Mushtaq Ahmed's death in a Bangladeshi prison, where he never should have been detained in the first place, is a devastating and unconscionable loss\".\n\nThe International Federation of Journalists general secretary, Anthony Bellanger, said, “We stand in solidarity with our colleagues in Bangladesh as they mourn the loss of Mushtaq Ahmed. This writer should have never been imprisoned let alone die in a high-security jail. This is a crime against freedom of expression. The long list of incarcerations against journalists and activists is evidence enough that The DSA must be urgently repealed.” \n\nGlobal association of writers, PEN International, demanded an independent and transparent investigation into writer Mushtaq’s death in custody and also urged the Bangladesh government to immediately repeal the Digital Security Act.\n\nAftermath\nOn the sixth day of continued protests, cartoonist Kishore was granted bail, 10 months after his arrest. He was released from jail the next day.\n\nReferences\n\nUniversity of Chittagong alumni\n1967 births\n2021 deaths\nPeople from Chuadanga District\n21st-century Bangladeshi writers\nFaujdarhat Cadet College alumni",

Born January 13, 1681, in Dublin, Ireland, Isaac Sharp was the eldest surviving son of Quaker Anthony Sharp and Ann Crabb. As part of the Quaker settlement of his father’s extensive land holdings in New Jersey, Isaac Sharp left Ireland in November 1700, and after an arduous eighteen-week journey, arrived in Colonial America on April 6, 1701.

"\"Granville Sharp\"\nSharp's position was unanimously agreed. In the 20 years of the society's existence, during which Sharp was ever-present at Committee meetings, such was Sharp's modesty that he would never take the chair, always contriving to arrive just after the meeting had started to avoid any chance of having to take the meeting. While the committee felt it sensible to concentrate on the slave trade, Sharp felt strongly that the target should be slavery itself. On this he was out-voted, but he worked tirelessly for the Society nevertheless. The correspondence between Granville Sharp and Anthony Benezet inspired Benjamin Rush, a physician"

"Jórunn Bjarnadóttir (Old Norse: ; Modern Icelandic: ) is a female character who appears in Laxdœla saga, one of the Icelandic family sagas (Icelandic: Íslendingasögur). She first appears in chapter 9, where she is introduced as the wife of a powerful Icelandic chieftain (Icelandic: goði) Höskuldr Dala-Kollsson from Höskuldsstaðir in Laxárdalur, Iceland.\n\nFamily \nJórunn Bjarnadóttir is the daughter of Björn who settled Bjarnarfjörðr in North-Western Iceland. He is described as being both highly-born and very wealthy (stórættaður maður og auðigr að fé). Jórunn's mother is a woman named Ljúfa, although no further description is given. However, Jana K. Schulman in her article \"Make Me a Match: Motifs of Betrothal in the Sagas of the Icelanders.\" suggests that in the sagas, successful relationships are portrayed as being composed of partners of equal status and standing. This would then indicate that Ljúfa would have come from a similar background as husband, Björn.\n\nShe is the mother of two sons, Thorleikr and Bárðr, and two daughters, Hallgerðr longbrók and Þuríðr. She is the grandmother of Bolli Thorleiksson who features prominently throughout the later half of Laxdœla saga.\n\nCharacteristics \nShe is initially described in Laxdœla saga as \"a good-looking woman, very proud, and no less clever. She was considered the best match in the entire West Fjords.\" Following her marriage to Höskuldr, it became apparent that in addition to her cleverness, she was also skillful and experienced, although at times headstrong.\n\nBiography\n\nMarriage to Höskuldr\nUpon hearing of Jórunn as well as learning that her father, Björn, was one of the most prominent farmers in all of Strandir, he set off with a group of men to seek her hand in marriage. Although Björn received both him and his marriage proposal well, he deferred the question to Jórunn herself for her opinion. Jórunn responds that because of his reputation she knows that any woman who marries him will be well cared for. However, she ultimately turns the decision back over to her father and the betrothal is agreed upon with a large dowry.\n\nThe wedding was held at Höskuld's farm Höskuldsstaðir with many guests from both sides of the families. It was called a very grand wedding feast and all the guests returned home happy with many wonderful gifts.\n\nAlthough she and Hoskuld got along well together, strong affection was seldom shown between them.\n\nJórunn and Melkorka \n\nLater when Höskuldr returns from another trip to Norway with Melkorka, a concubine whom he purchased from Gilli the Russian, Jórunn mocks him for not knowing her name or even talking with her before carrying on relations with her. Despite Höskuldr's request to treat Melkorka with respect, Jórunn displays disdain towards her, viewing herself as far-superior to Melkorka who is not only a slave but at this point considered to be both deaf and dumb. Although the saga says that Höskuldr from that point on had little to do with Melkorka and slept with Jórunn every night, tensions did not ease. Eventually, Jórunn demands that Melkorka move out of their home or else she herself would leave.\n\nAlthough the saga author puts stock in Melkorka's royal Irish heritage, as seen through both Höskuldr's reaction to the revelation (\"Hoskuld said that she had too long concealed such a noble birth.\") as well as Egill Skallagrímsson's when speaking of Ólafr pái who is Melkorka and Höskuldr's son (\"haven’t you heard that he is the grandson of king Myrkjartan? He’s of even better family on his mother’s side that his father’s, which is more than good enough for us.\"), Jórunn's attitude towards her is unaffected. In fact, Jórunn is quite skeptical of Melkorka's claim and she continues to look down on her as a common slave. Tensions come to a head when Jórunn picks up one of her socks and hits Melkorka with it. In response, Melkorka hits her in the face and causes her nose to bleed. The result of this altercation was that Höskuldr had Melkorka moved to a different farm even further up the river.\n\nSources\nKunz, Keneva, trans. \"The Saga of the People of Laxardal.\" In The Sagas of Icelanders: A Selection, edited by Jane Smiley, 270–421.

"Irene Wosikowski (9 February 1910 – 27 October 1944) was a German political activist (KPD). After 1933 she continued with her (now illegal) political activity in Germany till 1935. The next two years were spent in Moscow after which, as instructed by the party, she moved to Paris, which had become one of two de facto capitals for the exiled German Communist Party. She worked on political education and publishing till 1940 when she was placed in the Gurs internment camp. After her escape she joined the Résistance. Living \"underground\" (unregistered) she remained at liberty till July 1943, despite the intensely dangerous nature of much of her resistance work, which included approaching German soldiers and engaging in \"political\" discussions to try to persuade them to face up to the accelerating savagery of the Shoah. Following her arrest Wosikowski was subjected to a sustained programme of torture and taken back to Germany, where she was executed at Plötzensee on the edge of Berlin.\n\nLife\n\nProvenance and early years\nJudith Auer Irene Wosikowski was born in Danzig (as Gdańsk was known at that time) and grew up in a politicised social-democratic household. Her mother later came to prominence as the politician and Hamburg parliamentarian Alice Wosikowski (1886-1949). Her father, the factory worker Wilhelm Wosikowski, was killed in October 1914 at the start the war, when she was four. The pension provided to the widows of fallen soldiers was meagre, and her mother struggled financially to support the young family. At one stage Irene's older brother Eberhard (born in 1908) was forced by the family's poverty temporarily to leave middle school. In 1911 Wilhelm Wosikowski had received an employment ban (\"Berufsverbot\") in Danzig on account of his trades union involvement and the family relocated to Kiel. In 1921 Alice Wosikowski married her dead husband's brother and the family moved again, this time to Hamburg.\n\nPolitics\nIrene attended a \"Handelsschule\" (commercially oriented school) and on completion of the middle school stage took a job as a typist. After two years she moved on to work in an export agency. Her next job was with the Hamburg branch of the Soviet trade mission. She was sent in 1930 to work at the (implausibly large) Soviet trade mission in Berlin. She had been only 14 in 1924 when she joined the Young Communists: between 1926 and 1930 she was the \"political leader\" (\"politische Leiterin\") with the Young Communists' Hamburg group. 1930 was the year in which she joined the Communist Party. In 1932 she became a member of the party's \"Antimilitaristischer Apparat Abteilung Militärpolitik“ (AM-Apparat), which is generally identified as a cover name for the Communist Party's Intelligence Service.\n\nNational Socialist years and Moscow exile\nThe change of government in January 1933 was followed by a rapid transition to one-party dictatorship. During March 1933, irrespective of any residual legal niceties, the police and the courts began to operate on the basis that Communist Party membership was an act of treason. Irene Wosikowski became a member of the party's Berlin region leadership team (\"Landesleitung\"). During 1934 the authorities scheduled her arrest, but she was alerted in time to be able to escape to Czechoslovakia. There is a lack of precision in the sources over her movements during these months, but at some point in 1935 she moved to Moscow where in September of that year she was enrolled on a two-year course at the Comintern's International Lenin School. It was usual under these circumstances for comrades to be identified by pseudonyms. Irene Wosikowski's \"party name\" was \"Helga Rühler\".\n\nParis\nAt the end of 1937 the party sent Wosikowski to Paris where she worked as a typist and \"political co-worker\" in the editorial office of the \"Deutsche Volks-Zeitung\". That name had and has been revived many times. This version was a German-language weekly newspaper published by and for German speaking political exiles. In addition to he work in the editorial office, she was involved in the distribution of a publication intended for readers across Europe and in America. For a time she also worked as a close assistant to Franz Dahlem (who after 1945 would enjoy a long - though not uninterrupted - career as a senior national politician in the Soviet occupation zone (of Germany) and the German Democratic Republic.) The French government granted Wosikowski political asylum, but they did not provide a work permit, so she was desperately short of money. She did receive some support from the German League for Human Rights and from the Rothschild Committee, but the amounts involved were very small. During her time in Paris she lived with others refugees in cheap \"migrant-hotels\".\n\nWar\nAlthough the French and British governments declared war in Germany following the German invasion of Poland at the start of September 1939, on the street of Paris there were no sudden changes, even after the Soviet Union invaded Poland from the other side two weeks later. On 10 May 1940 the Germany army invaded France, however, and this time the impact in Paris was immediate, especially for political exiles from Germany. All German women in France were ordered to report to the authorities on 13 May 1940. Irene Wosikowski was unable to comply with the requirement because she was arrested overnight on 12/13 May and taken to the Gurs internment camp to the south of Bordeaux. The German army overran northern France in approximately six weeks. Under the terms of the Franco-German armistice of 22 June 1940 the northern half of France was now to be placed under direct German control, while the southern half - defined at the time as the \"free zone\", was to be administered from Vichy by a puppet government to be led by a respected French war hero. Over the next couple of years the already limited autonomy of the Vichy government would be further diminished, but in 1940 it was significant that the internment camp was located not in the \"occupied zone\" but, along with the important cities of Toulouse, Lyon and Marseilles, in the \"free zone\".\n\nInternment\nThe Gurs internment camp had been set up at the end of the Spanish Civil War as a resettlement camp for escaping fighters from Spain. It had not been constructed as a \"concentration camp\". A committed sportswoman, Wosikowski organised other internees to become more physically active (whether they liked it or not). Two of her fellow internees, Luise Kraushaar and Thea Saefkow had, like her, been working for the party in Paris and in the camp the three of them teamed up. By the end of June 1940 Irene Wosikowski had escaped with her two comrades. Wosikowski now took the train for Marseilles, intending to join up with the Résistance.\n\nMarseilles\nOn the train she was caught up in a check and arrested by a French policeman who presumably determined that her identity papers were not in order. She was held at Baumettes Prison, a Marseilles penitemtiary reserved at that time for \"dangerous\" women, in till January 1941. Following her release she was required to report regularly to the \"Vichy\" police. What she did not know was that at some stage the Reich Security Main Office had already placed her name, along with one of her cover names, \"Erna\", on the \"manhunt targets lists\" (\"Sonderfahndungsliste\") of government opponents to be sought out and rounded up following any successful German invasion of the Soviet Union. During the first part of 1941, using false identity papers, she joined with others to form a German resistance group in Marseilles, still at this stage part of the \"free zone\" controlled from Vichy rather than Berlin. She shared an apartment with another German emigre called Thérèse Schmidt, and earned a small amount of money through dress-making. With other KPD members, such as Fritz Fugmann, Walter Janka and \"Lex\" Ende, she maintained contact with internees/prisoners still held in French internment camps, many of whom were veterans of the Spanish Civil War which had ended in defeat for the anti-fascists in 1939. She also helped organise the delivery of food parcels.\n\nThe nature of Irene Wosikowski's resistance work completely changed after November 1942. Probably as a response to the landing of large numbers of Anglo-American troops in North Africa, the Germans dusted off and implemented plans for a \"direct military occupation of southern France. Marseilles had till now been a principal transit point for refugees desperate to escape occupied Europe for reasons of race or politics, but now the escape channels dried up. Over the next few months German soldiers and Gestapo personnel became a common sight as military occupation took hold. Fluent German became a valuable asset, but the resistance activity involved in what was known as \"enlightenment work\" (\"Aufklärungsarbeit\") among the German soldiers was massively dangerous. At its simplest it involved distributing copies of the innocuously titled newspaper \"Soldat am Mittelmeer\" (\"Soldier on the Mediterranean\") to German military personnel, possibly by leaving copies on tables outside cafés where off-duty soldiers liked to gather. The newspaper comprised antifascist propaganda designed, with varying degrees of subtlety, to persuade German soldiers to lay down their arms.\n\nShortly after the German occupation Irene Wosikowski relocated (illegally) to a different part of the city and using forged papers took on a couple of new identities, as \"Marie-Louise Durand\" and \"Poulette Monier\". She teamed up with her comrade Thea Saefkow, and the two of them took to engaging in casual conversation with off-duty German soldiers. They would discuss the course of the war and, where appropriate, hand out (illegal) pamphlets, always trying to convince the men of the war's senselessness. During the course of this activity, in or shortly before July 1943, Wosikowski, found herself chatting with a German sailor called Hermann Frischalowski from Cuxhaven. He seemed genuinely persuaded by her arguments for quitting the army. After a period of caution, she came to believe in his stated anti-Hitler beliefs, but it turned out that quite soon after they first met he had denounced her to the Gestapo.\n\nArrest and \"questioning\"\nAfter that \"Paulette Monier\" (being the name she was using) met up with Frischalowski a few more times. He asked her to obtain false identity documents and civilian clothes for him. Then, on 26 July 1943, facilitated her arrest by the Gestapo. In the words of a note made by the security police on 27 July 1943, \"on the basis of the denunciation by the sailor Hermann Frischalowski, the arrest of the German emigrant Irene Wosikowski took place in Marseilles on 26 July 1943\". Only after \"intensified interrogation\" did she disclose her real identity. Later, after long days of torture, she confirmed her own identity and that she had spent time training in Moscow. But still, despite brutal torture at the Gestapo main office in Marseilles, she never disclosed the names of those comrades with whom she was working.\n\nFinal months\nIn the Fall/Autumn of 1943 she was transferred to Fresnes Prison, on the edge of Paris, where further unsuccessful attempts were made to induce her to disclose the identities of her Résistance co-activists. On 30 October 1943 she was transferred to the prison at Hamburg=Fuhlsbüttel. Here the interrogation under torture continued, but Wosikowski still refused to betray resistance comrades. A Gestapo report dated 5 April 1944 states: \"...as far as Marseilles is concerned, she [still] has not told us the whole truth. It is impossible to image that the accused, who must be viewed as a cadre member, schooled in the methods and modalities of the Communist Party, really has no understanding of the organisation to which she belongs. From that it can be deduced that she is a hardened militant who wants to protect her comrades and conceal their activities\". The previous month Irene's mother Alice Wosikowski, who herself had several years as an inmate of a succession of concentration camps behind her, received notification from her daughter that she was back in Hamburg and the Gestapo had agreed visiting rights. Mother and daughter were permitted a brief discussion in the \"Civil Justice Building\" at the Hamburg Justice Complex. Alice Wosikowski later recalled her daughter's words: \"Mother, if they tell you I have made a confession, do not believe it. I remain true to our cause\". One of her interrogators in Hamburg was a man called \"Kriminalsekretär\" Heinrich Teege. Teege took advantage of her mother's visit to make an offer to Alice Wosikowski. She could save her daughter's life if she would work for the Gestapo. Alice Wosikowski refused. Irene Wosikowski took her leave of fellow prisoner on 20 April 1944 and was taken away for judicial investigatory detention and trial, first, on 22 May 1944, before a tribunal in Hamburg and then on 9 June 1944 to the women's prison in Cottbus.\n\nFinally Irene Wosikowski was moved to the women's prison in Barminstrasse in Berlin. The charge was the conventional one of \"preparing to commit high treason\" (\"Vorbereitung zum Hochverrat\"). As was usual with \"political\" trials, the case was heard at the special \"People's Court\". On 13 September 1944 the verdict and sentence were delivered by the court president Roland Freisler in person: \"Irene Wosikowski, an incorrigible communist for almost twenty years, underground militant in Berlin since the start of the National Socialist order. Emigrant, pupil of the Lenin School in Moscow, which sent her to Paris, from where she hounded the [German] state with communist organisations till the start of the war. In 1943 she tried to distribute communist propaganda to German soldiers in Marseilles. Thereby she made herself guilty of treason on behalf of our enemies and dishonoured herself in perpetuity ... Through her secret work in Paris she committed a heavy treason against the German people. For the purity of the German people and also to ensure our victory against the clandestine currents of defeatism, she must be condemned to death\".\n\nOn 13 September 1944 Irene Wosikowski became the one hundred and eighty-fifth of the two-hundred and forty-one women executed at the Plötzensee Prison. She was thirty-four when beheaded.\n\nAfterwards\nCourt president Roland Freisler was killed less than five months after delivering his sentence against Wosikowski when a US bomber scored a direct hit on his court building in a daytime bombing raid.\n\nOn 13 January 1948 Alice Wosikowski lodged a charge against the sailor at the district court in Stade Hermann Frischalowski, in which she accused him of a \"crime against humanity and denunciation for political reasons, causing death\". A tribunal rejected the case against the former sailor because of his motive which amounted to \"doing his duty against forces seeking to demoralise the army\". Irene Wosikowski appealed the decision, but again the appeal was rejected because the sailor's actions were consistent with the law as it existed at the time. Alice Wosikowski died in 1949. The judgment was rescinded not until 1998, when by Sections 1 and 2 of the German law repealing wrongful National Socialist judgments in the administration of criminal justice of August 25, 1998, these verdicts of the People's Court (Germany) were vacated.\n\nNotes\n\nReferences\n\n1910 births\n1944 deaths\nPoliticians from Gdańsk\nCommunist Party of Germany politicians\nCommunist members of the French Resistance\nPeople who emigrated to escape Nazism\nPeople from Hamburg executed at Plötzensee Prison\nGurs internment camp survivors\nRefugees from Nazi Germany in the Soviet Union\nExecuted communists in the German Resistance",

"Richard Pickersgill (18 April 1749 in West Tanfield, North Riding of Yorkshire, England – July 1779 in London) was an English naval officer who accompanied the sailor and explorer James Cook on two of his Pacific voyages.\n\nRichard Pickersgill was born in 1749 in West Tanfield, near Ripon, to Richard and Ann Pickersgill (née Lee). Pickersgill was the nephew of John Lee, the servant of George Jackson, a senior officer in the Admiralty. It is believed that his uncle managed to position him through his relationships on his first ships.\n\nIn 1766, at the age of 17, he participated in the circumnavigation of the world under Captain Samuel Wallis on HMS Dolphin. Two years later, on August 26, 1768, Pickersgill belonged as a Master's mate on HMS Endeavour, which set off with James Cook to its first South Sea voyage. On this trip he also impressed Cook, who had a high opinion of his skills as a surveyor, his dealings with the indigenous peoples they encountered, and his judgment. When Robert Molineux, the Master of the Endeavour, died on the return journey to England, Pickersgill was promoted to Master on April 16, 1771. After his return to London Pickersgill was promoted on Cook's recommendation to Lieutenant. On July 13, 1772 Cook began his second expedition with HMS Resolution, and Richard Pickersgill joined as the Third Lieutenant.\n\nHe did not accompany Cook on his third voyage, but in April 1776 took command of the ship Lyon and was sent to Baffin Bay on the east coast of Canada.\n\nRichard Pickersgill died in 1779 at the age of 30, when he accidentally fell into the Thames when boarding a ship and drowned.\n\nAccording to Richard Pickersgill, the Pickersgill Islands off South Georgia in the South Atlantic and Pickersgill Harbour, a natural harbour in New Zealand, were named after him.\n\nReferences\n\nExternal links\n Journal of Richard Pickersgill, Third Lieutenant of the Resolution\n\n1749 births\n1779 deaths\n18th-century English people\n18th-century explorers\nEnglish explorers of the Pacific\nCircumnavigators of the globe\nEnglish cartographers\nEnglish explorers\nEnglish sailors\nExplorers of New Zealand\nPeople from Hambleton District\nRoyal Navy officers\nDeaths by drowning in the United Kingdom\nMilitary personnel from Yorkshire\nJames Cook",

"The first voyage of James Cook was a combined Royal Navy and Royal Society expedition to the south Pacific Ocean aboard HMS Endeavour, from 1768 to 1771. It was the first of three Pacific voyages of which James Cook was the commander. The aims of this first expedition were to observe the 1769 transit of Venus across the Sun (3–4 June that year), and to seek evidence of the postulated Terra Australis Incognita or \"undiscovered southern land\".\n\nThe voyage was commissioned by King George III and commanded by Lieutenant Cook, a junior naval officer with good skills in cartography and mathematics. Departing from Plymouth Dockyard in August 1768, the expedition crossed the Atlantic, rounded Cape Horn and reached Tahiti in time to observe the transit of Venus. Cook then set sail into the largely uncharted ocean to the south, stopping at the Pacific islands of Huahine, Borabora and Raiatea to claim them for Great Britain. In October 1769 the expedition reached New Zealand, being the second Europeans to visit there, following the first European discovery by Abel Tasman 127 years earlier. Cook and his crew spent the following six months charting the New Zealand coast, before resuming their voyage westward across open sea. In April 1770 they became the first known Europeans to reach the east coast of Australia, making landfall near present-day Point Hicks, and then proceeding north to Botany Bay.\n\nThe expedition continued northward along the Australian coastline, narrowly avoiding shipwreck on the Great Barrier Reef. In October 1770 the badly damaged Endeavour came into the port of Batavia in the Dutch East Indies, her crew sworn to secrecy about the lands they had discovered. They resumed their journey on 26 December, rounded the Cape of Good Hope on 13 March 1771, and reached the English port of Deal on 12 July. The voyage lasted almost three years.\n\nThe year following his return Cook set out on a second voyage of the Pacific, which lasted from 1772 to 1775. His third and final voyage lasted from 1776 to 1779.\n\nConception\nOn 16 February 1768 the Royal Society petitioned King George III to finance a scientific expedition to the Pacific to study and observe the 1769 transit of Venus across the sun to enable the measurement of the distance from the Earth to the Sun. Royal approval was granted for the expedition, and the Admiralty elected to combine the scientific voyage with a confidential mission to search the south Pacific for signs of the postulated continent Terra Australis Incognita (or \"unknown southern land\"). The aims of the expedition were revealed in the press: \"To-morrow morning Mr. Banks, Dr. Solano [sic], with Mr. Green, the Astronomer, will set out for Deal, to embark on board the Endeavour, Capt. Cook, for the South Seas, under the direction of the Royal Society, to observe the Transit of Venus next summer, and to make discoveries to the South and West of Cape Horn\". The London Gazetteer was more explicit when it reported on 18 August 1768: \"The gentlemen, who are to sail in a few days for George's Land, the new discovered island in the Pacific ocean, with an intention to observe the Transit of Venus, are likewise, we are credibly informed, to attempt some new discoveries in that vast unknown tract, above the latitude 40\". Another article reported that \"the principal and almost sole national advantage\" of the island discovered by Captain Wallace, that is Tahiti, was \"its situation for exploring the Terra Incognita of the Southern Hemisphere\", and that, \"The Endeavour, a North-Country Cat, is purchased by the Government, and commanded by a Lieutenant of the Navy; she is fitting out at Deptford for the South Sea, thought to be intended for the newly discovered island.\" The Gazette de France of 20 June 1768 reported that the British Admiralty was outfitting two sloops of war to go to \"the newly discovered island\", from where they would \"essay the discovery of the Southern Continent\".\n\nThe Royal Society suggested command be given to Scottish geographer Alexander Dalrymple, who had urged that an expedition be sent to make contact with the estimated 50 million inhabitants of the Southern Continent with whom, he said, there was \"at present no trade from Europe thither, though the scraps from this table would be sufficient to maintain the power, dominion, and sovereignty of Britain, by employing all its manufacturers and ships\". As a condition of his acceptance, Dalrymple demanded a brevet commission as a captain in the Royal Navy. However, First Lord of the Admiralty Edward Hawke refused, going so far as to say he would rather cut off his right hand than give command of a Navy vessel to someone not educated as a seaman. In refusing Dalrymple's command, Hawke was influenced by previous insubordination aboard the sloop in 1698, when naval officers had refused to take orders from civilian commander Dr. Edmond Halley. The impasse was broken when the Admiralty proposed James Cook, a naval officer with a background in mathematics and cartography. Acceptable to both parties, Cook was promoted to Lieutenant and named as commander of the expedition.\n\nPreparations and personnel\n\nVessel and provisions\n\nThe vessel chosen by the Admiralty for the voyage was a merchant collier named Earl of Pembroke, launched in June 1764 from the coal and whaling port of Whitby in North Yorkshire. She was ship-rigged and sturdily built with a broad, flat bow, a square stern and a long box-like body with a deep hold. A flat-bottomed design made her well-suited to sailing in shallow waters and allowed her to be beached for loading and unloading of cargo and for basic repairs without requiring a dry dock. Her length was , with a beam of , and measuring 368 tons burthen.\n\nEarl of Pembroke was purchased by the Admiralty in May 1768 for and sailed to Deptford on the River Thames to be prepared for the voyage. Her hull was sheathed and caulked, and a third internal deck installed to provide cabins, a powder magazine and storerooms. A longboat, pinnace and yawl were provided as ship's boats, as well as a set of sweeps to allow the ship to be rowed if becalmed or demasted. After commissioning into the Royal Navy as His Majesty's Bark the Endeavour, the ship was supplied with ten 4-pounder cannons and twelve swivel guns, for defence against native attack while in the Pacific.\n\nProvisions loaded at the outset of the voyage included 6,000 pieces of pork and 4,000 of beef, nine tons of bread, five tons of flour, three tons of sauerkraut, one ton of raisins and sundry quantities of cheese, salt, peas, oil, sugar and oatmeal. Alcohol supplies consisted of 250 barrels of beer, 44 barrels of brandy and 17 barrels of rum.\n\nInstructions\nThe Admiralty's Instructions to Cook were divided into two sections, both marked \"Secret\" The first document dealt with the voyage to Tahiti, while the second dealt with the post-transit agenda. After Tahiti, Cook was instructed to sail directly south in search of the long-imagined sixth continent, referred to as the 'Southern Continent'. Next, he was to turn west to New Zealand, from where he was free to choose his homeward route. The Admiralty's Instructions do not mention the half-mapped fifth continent of New Holland (as Australia was known in the eighteenth century).\n\nShip's company\nOn 30 July 1768 the Admiralty authorised a ship's company for the voyage, of 73 sailors and 12 Royal Marines. The voyage was commanded by 40-year-old Lieutenant James Cook. His second lieutenant was Zachary Hicks, a 29-year-old from Stepney in London with experience as acting commander of HMS Hornet, a 16-gun cutter. The third lieutenant was John Gore, a 16-year Naval veteran who had served as master's mate aboard HMS Dolphin during its circumnavigation of the world in 1766.\n\nOther notable people on the expedition include the official astronomer, Charles Green, then assistant to the Astronomer Royal, Nevil Maskelyne. Joseph Banks had been appointed to the voyage as the official botanist. Banks funded seven others to join him: a Swedish naturalist Daniel Solander, a Finnish naturalist Herman Spöring, two artists (Alexander Buchan and Sydney Parkinson), a scientific secretary, and two black servants from his estate.\n\nVoyage of discovery\n\nVoyage from Plymouth to Tahiti \n\nCook departed from Plymouth on 26 August 1768, carrying 94 people and 18 months of provisions. On 15 November, Endeavour reached Rio de Janeiro and stayed there until 2 December, re-provisioning and making repairs. The Viceroy, the Marques de Azambuja, had been warned by his home government that Britain was seeking to extend its overseas power and influence following its victory in the Seven Years' War, and therefore suspected that the observation of the transit of Venus and study of natural history that Cook told him were the aims of his voyage were not its only or main objectives. Cook took offence at the Viceroy's suspicious attitude. In his journal, he described Guanabara Bay, including its defensive fortifications, and noted that the city could be taken by a force of six ships of the line. The ship rounded Cape Horn and continued westward across the Pacific to arrive at Matavai Bay, Tahiti on 13 April 1769, where the observations were to be made. The transit was scheduled to occur on 3 June, and in the meantime Cook commissioned the building of a small fort and observatory at what is now known as Point Venus.\n\nTransit of Venus \nThe astronomer appointed to the task was Charles Green, assistant to the recently appointed Astronomer Royal, Nevil Maskelyne. The primary purpose of the observation was to obtain measurements that could be used to calculate more accurately the distance of Venus from the Sun. If this could be achieved, then the distances of the other planets could be worked out, and eventually the distance between any two points on Earth, thus solving the problem of accurately establishing longitude. On the day of the transit observation, Cook recorded:\n\nSaturday This day prov'd as favourable to our purpose as we could wish, not a Clowd was to be seen the Whole day and the Air was perfectly clear, so that we had every advantage we could desire in Observing the whole of the passage of the Planet Venus over the Suns disk: we very distinctly saw an Atmosphere or dusky shade round the body of the Planet which very much disturbed the times of the contacts particularly the two internal ones. D r Solander observed as well as Mr Green and my self, and we differ'd from one another in observeing the times of the Contacts much more than could be expected.\n\nDisappointingly, the separate measurements of Green, Cook and Solander varied by more than the anticipated margin of error. Their instrumentation was adequate by the standards of the time, but the resolution still could not eliminate the errors. When their results were later compared to those of the other observations of the same event made elsewhere for the exercise, the net result was not as conclusive or accurate as had been hoped. The difficulties are today thought to relate to various optical phenomena (including the Black drop effect), that precluded accurate measurement – particularly with the instruments used by Cook, Green and Solander.\n\nSociety Islands and southern continent \nOnce the observations were completed, Cook opened the sealed orders for the second part of his voyage: to search the south Pacific for signs of the postulated southern continent of Terra Australis. The Royal Society, and especially Alexander Dalrymple, believed that Terra Australis must exist, and that Britain's best chance of discovering and claiming it before any rival European power would be by using Cook's Transit of Venus mission.\n\nCook, however, decided to first explore the other nearby islands. A local priest and mariner named Tupaia volunteered to join him, and was to prove invaluable as a pilot, interpreter and intermediary between the crew of the Endeavour and local inhabitants. The Endeavour left Tahiti on 13 July and entered the harbour of the nearby island of Huahine on 16 July. There Cook gave to Oree, the chief, an inscribed plate \"as lasting a Testimony of our having first discover'd this island as any we could leave behind\". From Huahine Cook sailed to the neighbouring island of Raiatea where, on 20 July, he raised the flag and claimed Raiatea-Tahaa and the \"adjacent\" islands of Huahine, Borabora, Tupai (Motu Iti) and Maurua (Maupiti) for Great Britain, naming them the Society Islands \"as they lay contiguous to one another\".\n\nOn 9 August, Cook weighed anchor and, following Admiralty instructions, sailed south in search of the southern continent. In early September, after a journey of some 2400 kilometres, the Endeavour reached the latitude of 40 degrees south without sighting the supposed continent. In accordance with his instructions, Cook then turned west and headed towards New Zealand, keeping a course between a latitude of approximately 29 degrees and 40 degrees south.\n\nNew Zealand\n\nInitial contacts with Māori \n\nCook reached New Zealand on 6 October 1769, leading only the second group of Europeans known to do so (after Abel Tasman over a century earlier, in 1642). Cook and a landing party arrived onshore on 7 October at Poverty Bay in the north-east of the North Island. Over the first two days of arriving onshore, the first encounters with Māori resulted in the death of four or five locals. Three more Māori were killed in an encounter farther south off Cape Kidnappers on 15 October. Cook's journal entries reflect regret as he had failed his instructions to avoid hostilities with the Indigenous people of any nations encountered. Further encounters with Māori at Anaura Bay and Tolaga Bay were more peaceful, with Tupaia (who understood the Māori language) playing an important role as interpreter and mediator between the parties. The Māori traded freely with the Europeans and allowed them to gather water, wild celery and scurvy grass.\n\nMercury Bay \nSailing north, the Endeavor next anchored at Mercury Bay where Cook observed the transit of Mercury on 9 November. Relations with the Māori were generally peaceful, although one local was killed in a trading dispute. This was the last recorded death of a Māori at the hands of Cook’s crew. After raising the flag and formally claiming possession of Mercury Bay for Great Britain, Cook sailed the Endeavour out of the bay on 15 November.\n\nCircumnavigation of the North Island \nContinuing north, Cook anchored at Bream Head and then the Bay of Islands, before rounding North Cape in the face of strong gales, narrowly missing an encounter with Surville’s French expedition in the St Jean Baptiste, which was rounding the cape at the same time in the opposite direction. On 6 January 1770, the gales abated and Cook was able to make good progress down the west coast of the North Island without landing onshore. By mid-January, Cook arrived in Queen Charlotte Sound, on the north coast of New Zealand’s South Island, a location he would favour in his second and third voyages.\n\nCook led an excursion to nearby Arapawa Island on 22 January, where he climbed Kaitapeha Peak and saw the strait (which he named Cook Strait) separating the North Island of New Zealand from the South Island. The existence of the strait proved that the North Island was not part of the supposed southern continent.\n\nOn 31 January, Cook claimed possession of Queen Charlotte Sound \"and the adjacent lands\" in the name of King George III. This was the last time Cook would claim possession of any part of New Zealand on behalf of Great Britain. The Endeavour sailed out of the sound on 5 February, and passing through Cook Strait, turned north, allowing Cook to chart the coast from Cape Palliser to Cape Turnagain. This completed the circumnavigation of the North island.\n\nCircumnavigation of the South Island \nTurning south, Cook sailed down the east coast of the South Island, charting the coast and continuing the search for the southern continent. The Endeavour rounded South Cape on 10 March, proving, even to southern continent enthusiasts such as Banks, that the South Island was not the sought-after sixth continent.\n\nCook continued north along the west coast of the South Island without landing, before re-entering Cook Strait and turning into Admiralty Bay on 27 March. The circumnavigation of southern New Zealand had been completed.\n\nFoveaux Strait\nWith patience Cook had mapped a land almost as large as Italy, making only two major mapping errors, both in the South Island. Through lack of time, he mistakenly thought that Banks Peninsula was an island and he thought Stewart Island, at the very south, was a peninsula.Margaret Cameron-Ash claims Cook knew that a strait separated Stewart Island from the mainland, but hid his discovery for reasons of military and colonial policy. Mawer, however, agrees with Blainey that it is more likely that Cook simply made an error, as his focus was on finding the southern extent of New Zealand, and conditions were unfavourable for more closely exploring the possible strait.\n\nInstructions fulfilled\n\nCook wrote in his Journal on 31 March 1770 that Endeavour's voyage \"must be allowed to have set aside the most, if not all, the Arguments and proofs that have been advanced by different Authors to prove that there must be a Southern Continent; I mean to the Northward of 40 degrees South, for what may lie to the Southward of that Latitude I know not\".\n\nOn the same day he recorded his decision to set a course to return home by way of the yet unknown east coast of New Holland (as Australia was then called): \n\nbeing now resolv'd to quit this Country altogether, and to bend my thought towards returning home by such a rout as might Conduce most to the Advantage of the Service I am upon, I consulted with the Officers upon the most Eligible way of putting this in Execution. To return by the way of Cape Horn was what I most wished because by this route we should have been able to prove the or of a Southern Continent, which yet remains ; but in order to Ascertain this we must have kept in a higher Latitude in the very Depth of Winter, but the Condition of the Ship, in every respect, was not thought sufficient for such an undertaking. For the same reason, the thoughts of proceeding directly to the Cape of Good Hope was laid aside, especially as no discovery of any Moment could be hoped for in that rout. It was therefore resolved to return by way of the East Indies by the following rout: upon Leaving this Coast to steer to the Westward until we fall in with the East Coast of New Holland, and then to follow the direction of that Coast to the Northward, or what other direction it might take us until we arrive at its Northern extremity; and if this should be found impracticable, then to to fall in with the Land or Islands discovered by Quiros.\n\nA voyage to explore the east coast of New Holland, with a view to the British colonization of the country, had been recommended in John Campbell's editions of John Harris's Navigantium atque Itinerantium Bibliotheca, or Voyages and Travels (1744–1748, and 1764), a book which Cook had with him on Endeavour:\n\nThe first Point, with respect to a Discovery, would be, to send a small Squadron on the Coast of Van Diemen's Land, and from thence round, in the same course taken by Captain Tasman, by the Coast of New Guiney; which might enable the Nations that attempted it, to come to an absolute Certainty with regard to its Commodities and Commerce... By this means all the back Coast of New Holland, and New Guiney, might be roughly examined; and we might know as well, and as certainly, as the Dutch, how far a Colony settled there might answer our Expectations.\n\nAustralian coast\nCook then set course westwards, intending to strike for Van Diemen's Land (present-day Tasmania, sighted by Tasman) to establish whether or not it formed part of the fabled southern continent. However, they were forced to maintain a more northerly course owing to prevailing gales, and sailed on until 19 April 1770 when land was sighted at 6 a.m. After further observation, Cook named the land Point Hicks, after the officer who first sighted land. This point was on the south-eastern coast of the Australian continent, and therefore Cook's expedition became the first recorded Europeans to have encountered its eastern coastline. In his journal, Cook recorded the event thus:\n\nthe Southermost Point of land we had in sight which bore from us W1/4S I judged to lay in the Latitude of 38°..0' S° and in the Longitude of 211°..07' W t from the Meridian of Greenwich. I have named it Point Hicks, because Lieut t Hicks was the first who discover'd this land.\n\nCook calculated that Van Diemen's Land ought to lie due south of their position, but having found the coastline trending to the south-west, recorded his doubt that this landmass was connected to it.\n\nThe landmark of this sighting is generally reckoned to be a point lying about half-way between the present-day towns of Orbost and Mallacoota on the south-eastern coast of the state of Victoria. A survey done in 1843 ignored or overlooked Cook's earlier naming of the point, giving it the name Cape Everard. On the 200th anniversary of the sighting, the name was officially changed back to Point Hicks. Nevertheless, it is likely that Cook's \"Point of land\" was somewhat to the south-west of today's Point Hicks.\n\nThe ship's log recorded that land was sighted at 6 a.m. on Thursday 19 April 1770. Cook's log used the nautical date, which, during the 18th century, assigned the same date to all ship's events from noon to noon, first p.m. and then a.m. That nautical date began twelve hours before the midnight beginning of the like-named civil date. Furthermore, Cook did not adjust his nautical date to account for circumnavigation of the globe until he had travelled a full 360° relative to the longitude of his home British port, either toward the east or west. Because he travelled west on his first voyage, this a.m. nautical date was the morning of a civil date 14 hours slow relative to his home port (port−14h). Because the south-east coast of Australia is now regarded as being 10 hours ahead relative to Britain, that date is now called Friday, 20 April.\n\nBotany Bay and initial contacts with Aboriginal people\n\nEndeavour continued northwards along the coastline, keeping the land in sight with Cook charting and naming landmarks as he went. A little over a week later, they came across an extensive but shallow inlet, and upon entering it moored off a low headland fronted by sand dunes.\n\nOn 29 April, Cook and crew made their first landfall on the continent at a beach now known as Silver Beach on Botany Bay (Kamay). Two Gweagal men of the Dharawal / Eora nation came down to the boat to fend off what they thought to be spirits of the dead. They shouted 'warra warra wai' meaning 'you are all dead' and gestured with their spears. Cook's party attempted to communicate their desire for water and threw gifts of beads and nails ashore. The two Aboriginal men continued to oppose the landing and Cook fired a warning shot. One of the Gweagal men responded by throwing a rock, and Cook fired on them with small shot, wounding one of them, Cooman, in the leg. The crew then landed, and the Gweagal men threw two spears before Cook fired another round of small shot and they retreated. The landing party found several children in nearby huts, and left some beads and other gifts with them. The landing party collected 40 to 50 spears and other artefacts.\n\nCook and his crew stayed at Botany Bay for a week, collecting water, timber, fodder and botanical specimens and exploring the surrounding area. The Indigenous inhabitants observed the Europeans closely but generally retreated whenever they approached. Cook's party made several attempts to establish relations with the Indigenous people, but they showed no interest in the food and gifts the Europeans offered, and occasionally threw spears as an apparent warning.\n\nAt first Cook named the inlet \"Sting-Ray Harbour\" after the many stingrays found there. This was later changed to \"Botanist Bay\" and finally Botany Bay after the unique specimens retrieved by the botanists Joseph Banks and Daniel Solander. This first landing site was later to be promoted (particularly by Joseph Banks) as a suitable candidate for situating a settlement and British colonial outpost.\n\nPort Jackson\n\nOn 6 May 1770, the Endeavour left Botany Bay and sailed north past an inlet \"wherein there appeared to be safe anchorage\". Cook named it Port Jackson, today generally known as Sydney Harbour. No-one on the ship recorded seeing any of the Harbour's many islands, because their line of sight was blocked by the high promontories of South Head and Bradleys Head that shape its dog-leg entrance. However, these islands were possibly known to Captain Arthur Phillip, the First Fleet commander, before he departed England in 1787.\n\nSeventeen Seventy\nCook continued northwards, charting along the coastline. He stopped at Bustard Bay (now known as Seventeen Seventy) at 8 o'clock on 23 May 1770 in five fathoms water on a sandy bottom at the south point of the Bay. Cook recounted that his clerk, Orton, had been molested while dead drunk that night, the perpetrators cutting off not only his clothes but also parts of his ears. Cook suspended and sent below the suspect Magra. On 24 May Cook and Banks and others went ashore. He sounded the channel (now known as Round Hill Creek) and found a freshwater stream, noting there was room for a few ships to safely anchor. He noted a great deal of smoke on the hills and inspected one of the closest group of 10 fires around which were scattered cockle shells and other evidence of Aboriginal occupation.\n\nEndeavour River\n\nA mishap occurred when Endeavour ran aground on a shoal of the Great Barrier Reef, on 11 June 1770. The ship was seriously damaged and his voyage was delayed almost seven weeks while repairs were carried out on the beach (near the docks of modern Cooktown, at the mouth of the Endeavour River). While there, Joseph Banks, Herman Spöring and Daniel Solander made their first major collections of Australian flora.\n\nThe crew's encounters with the local Guugu Yimidhirr people were mainly peaceable, although following a dispute over green turtles Cook ordered shots to be fired and one local was lightly wounded. The word \"kangaroo\" entered the English language, from the Guugu Yimidhirr word for a kind of grey kangaroo, gangurru (pronounced ).\n\nPossession Island\nOnce repairs were completed, the voyage continued and at about midday on 22 August 1770, Cook reached the northernmost tip of the coast. Without leaving the ship, he named it York Cape (now Cape York) and departed the east coast. Turning west, he nursed the battered ship through the dangerously shallow waters of Torres Strait, earlier navigated by Luis Váez de Torres in 1606. Searching for a high vantage point, Cook saw a steep hill on a nearby island from the top of which he hoped to see \"a passage into the Indian Seas\". Cook named the island Possession Island, where he claimed the entire eastern coastline that he had just explored as British territory.\n\nIn negotiating the Torres Strait past Cape York, Cook also put an end to the speculation that New Holland and New Guinea were part of the same land mass.\n\nHe had already established that New Holland was not joined to the islands later called the New Hebrides, as a chart by Didier Robert de Vaugondy showed. On 11 June he wrote in his journal: \"we now begun to draw near the Latitude of those [islands] discover'd by Quiros [Queirós] which some Geographers, for what reason I know not have thought proper to Tack to this land\".\n\nScurvy prevention\nAt that point in the voyage Cook had lost not a single man to scurvy, a remarkable and practically unheard-of achievement in 18th-century long-distance seafaring. Adhering to Royal Navy policy introduced in 1747, Cook persuaded his men to eat foods such as citrus fruits and sauerkraut. At that time it was known that poor diet caused scurvy but not specifically that a vitamin C deficiency was the culprit.\n\nSailors of the day were notoriously against innovation, and at first the men would not eat the sauerkraut. Cook used a \"method I never once knew to fail with seamen.\" He ordered it served to himself and the officers, and left an option for crew who wanted some. Within a week of seeing their superiors set a value on it the demand was so great a ration had to be instituted. In other cases, however, Cook resorted to traditional naval discipline. \"Punished Henry Stephens, Seaman, and Thomas Dunster, Marine, with twelve lashes each for refusing to take their allowance of fresh beef.\"\n\nCook's general approach was essentially empirical, encouraging as broad a diet as circumstances permitted, and collecting such greens as could be had when making landfall. All onboard ate the same food, with Cook specifically dividing equally anything that could be divided (and indeed recommending that practice to any commander – journal 4 August 1770).\n\nTwo cases of scurvy did occur on board, astronomer Charles Green and a Tahiti navigator Tupaia were treated, but Cook was able to proudly record that upon reaching Batavia he had \"not one man upon the sick list\" (journal 15 October 1770), unlike so many voyages that reached that port with much of the crew suffering illness.\n\nHomeward voyage\n\nEndeavour then visited the island of Savu, staying for three days before continuing on to Batavia, the capital of the Dutch East Indies, to put in for repairs. Batavia was known for its outbreaks of malaria, and before they returned home in 1771 many in Cook's company succumbed to the disease and other ailments such as dysentery, including the Tahitian Tupaia, Banks' Finnish secretary and fellow scientist Herman Spöring, astronomer Charles Green, and the illustrator Sydney Parkinson. Cook named Spöring Island off the coast of New Zealand to honour Herman Spöring and his work on the voyage.\n\nCook then rounded the Cape of Good Hope and stopped at Saint Helena. On 10 July 1771 Nicholas Young, the boy who had first seen New Zealand, sighted England (specifically the Lizard) again for the first time, and Endeavour sailed up the English Channel, passing Beachy Head at 6 a.m. on 12 July; that afternoon Endeavour anchored in the Downs, and Cook went ashore at Deal, Kent. His return was unexpected, as newspapers and journals had long since reported fears that Endeavour had been lost at sea or destroyed in combat against the French.\n\nPublication of journals\n\nCook's journals, along with those of Banks, were handed over to the Admiralty to be published upon his return. John Montagu, 4th Earl of Sandwich contracted, for £6,000, John Hawkesworth a literary critic, essayist, and editor of The Gentleman's Magazine to publish a comprehensive account of exploration in the Pacific: not just Cook's ventures but also those of Wallis, Byron and Carteret. Hawkesworth edited the journals of Byron, Wallis and Carteret into separate accounts as volume I and then blended Cook's and Joseph Banks' journals with some of his own sentiments and produced a single first-person narrative that appeared to be the words of Cook, as Volume II. The book appeared in 1773 as three volumes with the title:\n\nThe book went on sale on 9 June 1773 but widespread criticism in the press made the publication a personal disaster for Hawkesworth. Reviewers complained that the reader had no way to tell which part of the account was Cook, which part Banks and which part Hawkesworth and others were offended by the books'\ndescriptions of the voyagers' sexual encounters with the Tahitians. \nCook was at sea again before the book was published and was later much disturbed by some of the sentiments that Hawkesworth had ascribed to him. He determined to edit his own journals in future.\n\nThe papers of Sydney Parkinson, the botanical draughtsman of Joseph Banks who had died on the homeward voyage, were published by his brother Stanfield under the title A Journal of a Voyage to the South Seas. A legal injunction delayed the publication until two days after Hawkesworth's Account had appeared.\n\nRe-enactment\n\nIn 1959, the Cooktown Re-enactment Association first performed a re-enactment of Cook's 1770 landing at the site of modern Cooktown, Australia, and have continued the tradition each year, with the support and participation of many of the local Guugu Yimithirr people. They celebrate the first act of reconciliation between Indigenous Australians and non-Indigenous people, based on a particular incident. Cook and his crew had developed a friendly relationship with the local people, recording more than 130 words of their language. However, after the crew refused to share 12 green turtles which they had caught, thus violating local customs, the locals became angry. A Guugu Yimithirr elder stepped in, presenting Cook with a broken-tipped spear as a peace offering, thus preventing an escalation which could have ended in bloodshed.\n\nIn 1970 Hans Hass shot the documentary television film Unsere Reise mit James Cook (Our Journey with James Cook), in which he retraced Cook's journey through the barrier reef using Cook's journal. Hass dived at various locations.\n\nIn 2001, the BBC set about making a documentary series The Ship: Retracing Cook's Endeavour Voyage which involved a film crew, volunteers and historians retracing part of the voyage made by Cook – from Cairns to Jakarta. One of the historians, Alexander Cook, documented the journey in his 2004 article \"Sailing on The Ship: Re-enactment and the Quest for Popular History\".\n\nSee also\n\n List of Australian places named by James Cook\n\nNotes \n\n In today's terms, this equates to a valuation for Endeavour of approximately £265,000 and a purchase price of £326,400.\n This date does not need adjustment because it occurred during the afternoon (p.m.) on 29 April in the ship's log, but was the afternoon of the civil date of 28 April, 14 hours west of port, which is now a civil date 10 hours east of port, 24 hours later, hence a modern civil date of 29 April.\n\nReferences\n\nCitations\n\nSources \n \n Beaglehole, J.

"Isaac Smith (1752–1831) was a Rear Admiral in the Royal Navy and cousin of Elizabeth Cook (née Batts) wife of Captain James Cook, with whom he sailed on two voyages of exploration in the South Pacific. Smith was the first European to set foot in eastern Australia and the first to prepare survey maps of various Pacific islands and coastlines including Tierra del Fuego in South America.\n\nEarly life\nSmith was born in London in 1752, the eldest of seven children of Charles and Hannah Smith and cousin to James Cook's wife Elizabeth. He enlisted for naval service in 1767 at the age of thirteen, using his family connections to secure an immediate ranking of able seaman and a position aboard under Cook's command, for a survey voyage off the west coast of Newfoundland. On 27 May 1768, and still ranked able seaman, he transferred to his second vessel, Cook's , at Deptford ahead of its expedition to the Pacific to observe the 1769 Transit of Venus and then to search the south Pacific for signs of the postulated Terra Australis Incognita (or \"unknown southern land\").\n\nPacific exploration\n\nSmith sailed with Cook to Tahiti, then to New Zealand and the east coast of Australia. On 28 April 1770 he became the first European to set foot on eastern Australian soil, Cook telling him \"Jump out, Isaac\" as the ship's boat touched the shore at Botany Bay. A month later on 23 May 1770, Smith was promoted to midshipman following James Magra's suspension on suspicion of having assaulted Cook's clerk.\n\nCook's lieutenant Zachary Hicks died from tuberculosis in May 1771, and was replaced by the master's mate Charles Clerke. In turn, Smith was promoted to fill Clerke's former role and served with distinction for the remainder of the voyage. Cook singled him out in a letter to the Secretary of the Admiralty in 1772, noting that Smith \"had been of great use to me in assisting to make Surveys, Drawings &c in which he is very expert.\"\n\nSmith sailed again with Cook in 1772, as master's mate aboard . He assisted first mate Joseph Gilbert in drawing Cook's maps and survey charts during the voyage, including one of the first recorded maps of Tierra del Fuego in 1773. Smith's wider artistic talents were also demonstrated by the production of a small watercolour of icebergs, painted while Resolution sailed close to Antarctica in 1773. On Resolutions return Cook again singled Smith out for praise, advising Admiralty that he was \"a Young man bred to the Sea under my care and who has been a very great assistant to me in [making charts], both in this and my former voyage.\"\n\nIndependent command\nOn Resolutions return to England in 1775, Smith was promoted to lieutenant and given command of the elderly 16-gun sloop , holding this post for two years. In December 1787, he was promoted to post-captain in command of the 36-gun frigate HMS Perseverance. The future Admiral John Surman Carden was a member of Smith's crew from 1787 to 1793, before his transfer to . As captain of Perseverance, Smith was assigned to the East Indies Station under the overall command of Admiral William Cornwallis and took part in the capture at sea of the French frigate in 1791 at the Battle of Tellicherry, shortly before the outbreak of the first French Revolutionary War.\n\nLater life\nDespite this achievement and continued commendation from his superiors, Smith's active service days were drawing to a close. In 1794 he contracted hepatitis, and his ill health gradually prevented him from performing his duties. In either 1804 or 1807 he applied for and received a promotion to the superannuated post of Rear Admiral and returned to England to retire.\n\nIn initial retirement Smith shared a house in Clapham with his cousin, Cook's widow Elizabeth, until in the 1820s he inherited Merton Abbey in Merton, Surrey, from his brother in law. He then divided his time between these two homes, until his death on 2 July 1831 at the age of 78.\n\nHis will left a sum of £700 to the church of St Mary the Virgin in Merton, the interest from which was to support the poor of the parish. A memorial to Smith, originally financed by Elizabeth Cook, stands in the church grounds.\n\nReferences\n\nBibliography \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n\nRoyal Navy rear admirals\nBritish explorers of the Pacific\n1752 births\n1831 deaths",
"On 14 February 1779, English explorer Captain James Cook attempted to kidnap Kalaniʻōpuʻu, the ruling chief (aliʻi nui) of the island of Hawaii. The decision to hold him in exchange for a stolen longboat was the fatal error of Cook's final voyage, and led to his death at Kealakekua Bay.\n\nCook's arrival in Hawaii was eventually followed by mass migrations of Europeans and Americans to the islands that gave rise to the overthrow of the Kingdom of Hawaii, the Aboriginal monarchy of the islands, by pro-American elements beginning in 1893.\n\nArrival\nJames Cook led three separate voyages to chart areas of the globe unknown to the Kingdom of Great Britain. It was on his third and final voyage that he encountered what are known today as the Islands of Hawaii. He first sighted the islands on 18 January 1778. He anchored off the west coast of the island of Kauai near Waimea and met inhabitants to trade and obtain water and food.\n\nOn 2 February 1778, Cook continued on to the coast of North America and Alaska, mapping and searching for a Northwest Passage to the Atlantic Ocean for approximately nine months. He returned to the island chain to resupply, initially exploring the coasts of Maui and the Big Island of Hawaii and trading with locals, then making anchor in Kealakekua Bay in January 1779. Cook and his crew were initially welcomed and treated with honour, as his arrival coincided with the Makahiki season, an ancient New Year festival in honour of the god Lono of the Hawaiian religion, and a celebration of the yearly harvest. The idea or suggestion that the Native Hawaiians considered Cook to be the god Lono himself is considered to be inaccurate and is attributed to William Bligh. It is conceivable that some Hawaiians may have used the name of Lono as a metaphor when describing Cook or other possible explanations other than Hawaiians simply assuming the explorer was their own deity.\n\nHowever, after Cook and the crews of both ships, and , left the islands, the festival season had ended and the season for battle and war had begun under the worship and rituals for Kūkaʻilimoku, the god of war. Although Cook's sequential visits may have coincided with native traditional seasons, the natives had soured on Cook and his men by the time of Cook's initial departure. John Ledyard was the only American aboard Cook's ship during this time. Ledyard was present during the events leading up to and during Cook's death, and wrote a detailed account of the events in his journals.\n\nDuring Cook's initial visit, he attempted to barter with the Hawaiians and ordered his men to remove the wood used to border the natives' sacred \"Morai\" burial ground, used for high-ranking individuals and depictions of their gods. Ledyard says in his journals that Cook offered some iron hatchets for the wooden border around the Morai and when the dismayed and insulted chiefs refused, Cook proceeded to give orders to ascend the Morai, chop down the fence and load the boats with the wood. John Ledyard also tells of an episode where Captain Charles Clerke accused a native chieftain of stealing the Resolution'''s jolly boat. However, the boat was soon found and the native chief was incensed by the accusation. After staying in the bay for 19 days, Cook and his two ships sailed out of the bay.\n\nOn 6 February Cook's ships left Kealakekua Bay. They were soon met with an unexpected hard gale which wrenched the mainmast of the Resolution. On 11 February, the Resolution returned again to Kealakekua Bay to make repairs. Ledyard writes on 13 February:\n\nOur return to this bay was as disagreeable to us as it was to the inhabitants, for we were reciprocally tired of each other. They had been oppressed and were weary of our prostituted alliance...It was also equally evident from the looks of the natives as well as every other appearance that our friendship was now at an end, and that we had nothing to do but to hasten our departure to some different island where our vices were not known, and where our intrinsic virtues might gain us another short space of being wondered at.\n\nWhile the Resolution was anchored in Kealakekua Bay, one of its two longboats was stolen from the ship by the Hawaiians, testing the foreigners' reaction to see how far they could go with such a significant loss. The Hawaiians had begun openly stealing from the foreigners. To try to obtain the return of the stolen longboat from the Hawaiians, Cook attempted to kidnap the aliʻi nui of the island of Hawaii, Kalaniʻōpuʻu. Possibly being quite sick at this point, Cook made what were later described as a series of incredibly poor decisions.\n\nAttempt to take the aliʻi nui hostage\n\nOn the morning of 14 February 1779, Cook and his men launched from Resolution along with a company of armed marines. They went directly to the ruling chief's enclosure where Kalaniʻōpuʻu was still sleeping. They woke him and directed him, urgently but without threat, to come with them. As Cook and his men marched the ruler out of the royal enclosure, Cook himself held the hands of the elder chief as they walked away from the town toward the beach. Kalaniʻōpuʻu's favorite wife, Kānekapōlei, saw them as they were leaving and yelled after her husband but he ignored her and did not stop. She called to the other chiefs and the townspeople to alert them to the departure of her husband. Two chiefs, Kanaʻina (Kalaimanokahoʻowaha), the young son of the former ruler, Keaweʻopala, and Nuaa, the king's personal attendant, followed the group to the beach with the king's wife behind them pleading along the way for the aliʻi nui to stop and come back.\n\nBy the time they got to the beach, Kalaniʻōpuʻu's two youngest sons, who had been following their father believing they were being invited to visit the ship again with the ruler, began to climb into the boats waiting at the shore. Kānekapōlei shouted to them to get out of the boat and pleaded with her husband to stop. The ruler then realized that Cook and his men were not asking him to visit the ship, but were attempting to abduct him. At this point he stopped and sat down.\n\nDeath of Cook\nCook's men were confronted on the beach by an elderly kahuna who approached them holding a coconut and chanting. They yelled at the priest to go away, but he kept approaching them while singing the mele. When Cook and his men looked away from the old kahuna, they saw that the beach was now filled with thousands of Native Hawaiians. Cook told Kalaniʻōpuʻu to get up but the ruler refused. As the townspeople began to gather around them, Cook and his men began to back away from the hostile crowd and raise their guns. The two chiefs and Kānekapōlei shielded the aliʻi nui as Cook tried to get him to his feet.\n\nKanaʻina angrily approached Cook, who reacted by striking the chief with the broad (flat) side of his sword. Kanaʻina jumped at Cook and grabbed him. Some accounts state that Kanaʻina did not intend to hit Cook while other descriptions say the chief deliberately struck the navigator across the head with his leiomano. Either way, Kanaʻina pushed Cook, who fell to the sand. As Cook attempted to get up, Nuaa lunged at him and fatally stabbed him in the chest with a metal dagger, obtained by trade from Cook's ship during the same visit. Cook fell with his face in the water. This caused a violent, close-quarters melee between the Hawaiians and Cook's men.\n\nFour of the Royal Marines (Corporal James Thomas and Privates Theophilus Hinks, Thomas Fachett, and John Allen) were killed and two were wounded. The remaining sailors and marines, heavily outnumbered, continued to fire as they retreated to their small boat and rowed back to their ship, killing several of the angered people on the beach, including possibly High Chief Kanaʻina. Cook's ships did not leave Kealakekua Bay until 22 February; they had remained for another week to continue repair of the mast and collect better-quality drinking water.\n\nA young William Bligh, the future captain of , later claimed to have been watching with a spyglass from Resolution as Cook's body was dragged up the hill to the town by the Native Hawaiians, where it was torn to pieces by them.\n\nSee alsoDeath of Cook'', several paintings\nList of kidnappings\n\nReferences\n\n1779 crimes in Oceania\n1779 in Hawaii\nAncient Hawaii\nBattles involving Great Britain\nBattles involving Hawaii\nConflicts in 1779\nHistory of Hawaii\nJames Cook\nKidnappings",

"James Burney (13 June 1750 – 17 November 1821) was an English rear-admiral, who accompanied Captain Cook on his last two voyages. He later wrote two books on naval voyages and a third on the game of whist.\n\nFamily\nBurney was born in London, although he moved to Lynn Regis (now King's Lynn) as a small child. He was the son of the composer and music scholar Charles Burney and his wife Esther Sleepe (c. 1725–1762).

Back in England in 1774, he acted as interpreter for Omai, the first Tahitian to visit Britain. He and his future brother-in-law witnessed Cook's killing in Hawaii in 1779. He was belatedly promoted, but in June 1782 commissioned captain of the 50-gun Bristol on a 12-ship convoy to Madras. He saw action as part of Sir Edward Hughes' squadron in the final engagement with the French fleet off Cuddalore on 20 June 1783.\n\nRetired\nAt the end of 1784 Burney fell seriously ill and departed for England. This was the end of his active naval career. Repeated petitions for a new command were rebuffed, in part because of his openly republican political views. However, he became a prolific naval author, who enjoyed the friendship of Charles Lamb, Henry Crabb Robinson and other literary figures.\n\nBurney married Sarah Payne (1759–1832) on 6 September 1785, by whom he had three children: Catherine (1786–1793), Martin Charles (1788–1852), later a solicitor, and Sarah (1796 – post-1868). However, he was separated from his wife and living with his half-sister from 1798 to 1803. He was elected a member of the Royal Society in 1809.\n\nIn July 1821, aged 71, Burney was promoted to rear-admiral on the retired list after a personal intervention by the Duke of Clarence (later William IV), Admiral of the Fleet. He died on 17 November 1821 and was buried at St. Margaret's, Westminster.\n\nA great whist player, he left a pamphlet on the subject. When he died, Lamb wrote to William Wordsworth: \"There's Captain Burney gone! – What fun has whist now?\"\n\nBibliography\nChronological History of the Voyages and Discoveries in the South Sea or Pacific Ocean (London, 1803–1817), including History of the Buccaneers of America (1816) (5 volumes) v1 v2 v3 v4 v5\n\nChronological History of North-Eastern Voyages of Discovery and of the Early Eastern Navigations of the Russians (London: Payne & Foss, 1819)\nAn Essay by Way of Lecture on the Game of Whist (London: privately printed, 1821)\n\nSources\n\nExternal links\nBurney Centre at McGill University\n\nEnglish essayists\n19th-century English historians\nRoyal Navy rear admirals\n1750 births\n1821 deaths\nPeople from King's Lynn\nJames\nFellows of the Royal Society\nEnglish male non-fiction writers\nBritish male essayists\nJames Cook",

"Squatting in the Netherlands (Dutch: kraken) is the occupation of unused or derelict buildings or land without the permission of the owner. The modern squatters movement (Dutch: kraakbeweging) began in the 1960s in the Netherlands. By the 1980s, it had become a powerful anarchist social movement which regularly came into conflict with the state, particularly in Amsterdam with the Vondelstraat and coronation riots.\n\nSome squats in cities have successfully legalised into still extant social centres and housing cooperatives such as ACU in Utrecht, the Grote Broek in Nijmegen, the Landbouwbelang in Maastricht, ORKZ in Groningen, the Poortgebouw in Rotterdam and Vrankrijk in Amsterdam. There have also been squats in the countryside such as Fort Pannerden and the Ruigoord village.\n\nSquatting was criminalised in October 2010. Between then and November 2014, 529 people were arrested. Some recent high-profile evictions have included ADM, the Tabakspanden and De Vloek. The social movement continues in diminished form, with squatting still being used by certain groups, for example the migrant collective We Are Here.\n\nBeginnings\n\nDuring the Great Depression of the 1930s, many workers lost their jobs and were unable to pay rent. This resulted in people occupying houses in order to force a rental agreement, although they did not see themselves as a housing movement. Their legal justification was based on a 1914 decision by the Supreme Court which ruled that in order to show residential use in a property, all that was needed was a chair, a table and a bed.\n\nSquatting in the Netherlands in its modern form has its origins in the 1960s, when the country was suffering a housing shortage whilst at the same time many properties stood derelict. Property owners kept buildings empty in order to speculate and drive the market price upwards. As youth protest movements burgeoned, in particular Provo movement, squatting became seen as a political, anti-speculation protest. Marking the emergence of a squatters movement (Dutch: kraakbeweging) which focused upon collective action rather than individual initiatives, the term for squatting changed from \"secret occupation\" (Dutch: clandestien bezetten) to \"cracking\" (Dutch: kraken) and squatters became known as krakers.\n\nAs well as mobilising the 1914 decision, squatters employed a 1971 Supreme Court ruling that the concept of domestic peace (Dutch: huisvrede) required permission from the current occupant for anybody else to enter a property. This meant that property owners were required to evict squatters by taking them to court, instead of forcing entry. This came about after squatters in Nijmegen were evicted from a property and prosecuted by the owner, who claimed that since the house was for sale it was in use. The squatters were convicted of an offence but appealed the decision and ultimately the Supreme Court ruled that a \"on the basis of normal language use, 'a house in use' can only mean 'a house in use as a house'\".\n\nConsolidation\n\nThe squatting movement took on an increasingly anarchist tone during the 1980s. In the Vondelstraat Riots, police moved to evict residents from a squatted building on the corner of Vondelstraat in Amsterdam, but it was immediately reoccupied and barricades erected. Street fights ensued between riot police and the squatters, with the building only being cleared when a military tank demolished the street barricades. Queen Beatrix's coronation later that year saw more riots when squatters chanted \"No home, no coronation\" (Dutch: Geen woning, geen kroning). In Groningen the eviction of the WNC (Wolters-Noordhoff Complex) squat in 1990 led to 137 arrests and the mayor called it war.\n\nSome squats have gone through a process of legalisation, in which the building becomes owned or rented by the former squatters. In Amsterdam, the city council bought 200 buildings in the early 1980s, handing them over to housing associations which then made contracts with individual tenants. The Poortgebouw in Rotterdam was squatted in 1980 and two years later the inhabitants agreed to pay rent to the city council, forming a housing cooperative of 30 people with a bar and alternative venue on the ground floor. In Amsterdam, OCCII, OT301 and Vrankrijk are all examples of legalised social centres. In the 2010s, Vrankrijk hosts mainly punk and queer parties. The NDSM former shipyard zone was recognised as a cultural hotspot and breeding place, successfully institutionalising in the early 2000s. The Grote Broek in Nijmegen was squatted in 1984 and legalised in the 2000s. The ACU in Utrecht was squatted in 1976 and bought by the squatters in 1994. It provides a venue space for benefit concerts, an anarchist library, a bar and a vegan restaurant. ORKZ, or the Old Roman Catholic Hospital (Dutch: Oude Rooms-Katholieke Ziekenhuis), is located in Groningen on the Verlengde Hereweg. The hospital was squatted in August 1979 and legalised in 1986. As of 2004, 250 people lived there in 235 apartments. Another 150 people made use of the ateliers. A derelict parking lot was taken over and made into a guerilla garden. Herbs and vegetables were grown in raised beds, fruit bushes were planted and an apiary was set up. The garden was legalised by the city council in 2012.\n\nThere are also squats which refused or were unable to legalise such as De Blauwe Aanslag in The Hague, Het Slaakhuis in Rotterdam, ADM in Amsterdam and the Landbouwbelang in Maastricht. The Landbouwbelang is a former grain silo beside the Meuse () river which houses 15 people and provides space for art exhibitions, music events and various festivals. Vrijplaats Koppenhinksteeg in Leiden was occupied in 1968 and eventually evicted in 2010. The complex, which included a bar, a freeshop, a library meeting rooms and offices for a group supporting illegal migrants, had been negotiating with the city council in order to legalise its activities until the talks stalled in 2008.\n\nThere are also some squats in the countryside such as a squatted village called Ruigoord near Amsterdam. Fort Pannerden (a military fort built in 1869 near to Nijmegen) was occupied in 2000 by people concerned about the state of the building. It was evicted on November 8, 2006, by a massive police operation which used military machinery and cost one million euros. The fort was then re-squatted and the occupiers discussed a settlement with the local council and Staatsbosbeheer, the owner.\n\nDevelopments\n\nIn 1987, the law was changed so that an owner could take anonymous squatters to court, rather than being required to know their names. A law was passed in 1994 which made it illegal to squat a building which had been empty for less than one year. After this, it became conventional for squatters to call the police after occupying a building and if the police were satisfied that the building had been empty for more than a year and that the squatters were living there (as evidenced by having a chair, a table and a bed) then the owner would need to make a court case to regain possession. Thus, squatting became a tactic to provide housing and also to fight speculation, conserve monumental buildings, provide groups with spaces and so on. An example of conservational squatting is Huize Ivicke in Wassenaar, a building which the owner refuses to repair. The villa was placed on a list of the most endangered monuments in Europe and it was squatted in 2018 by people wanting to prevent further dilapidation.\n\nSquatting in the Netherlands, particularly in Amsterdam, became a rather institutionalised process, although the squatters movement continued to evolve with one development being the occupation of large office buildings by refugee collectives. One such group, We Are Here was established in 2012 and the collective had squatted over 30 buildings and parks by the end of 2017. In a different development, squatting was used as a tool to contest the construction of the Betuweroute, a freight railway route from Rotterdam to Germany. and other environmental protestors occupied several houses due to be demolished. This included a failed attempt to squat a building in Angeren.\n\nCriminalisation\n\nSquatting in the Netherlands became a criminal offence on 1 October 2010. In 2016, a report was published by the Dutch Government which stated that between October 2010 and November 2014, 529 people had been arrested for the new crime of squatting, in 213 separate incidents. Of these arrested, 210 received convictions and 42 were found not guilty.\n\nFollowing criminalisation, in Amsterdam an estimated 330 squats were evicted in two years. Contested evictions included ADM, the Tabakspanden on Spuistraat, the Valreep and Villa Friekens. ADM was a former shipyard squatted for 21 years before its eventual eviction in 2019. Around 130 people lived there in buildings, boats and temporary structures. De Vloek social centre in The Hague was evicted in September 2015 after long political struggle. There were seven arrests. In Utrecht, the disused Amsterdamsestraatweg Water Tower was occupied repeatedly in protest at the criminalisation of squatting. In 2019, a resquat was unsuccessful.\n\nTable of notable squats\n\nSee also \n Squatting in Australia\n Squatting in England and Wales\n Squatting in the United States\n\nReferences\n\nFurther reading\n ADILKNO (1994) Cracking The Movement Also available online \n Bouwknecht et al.

"The Henneicke Column was a group of Dutch Nazi collaborators working in the investigative division of the Central Bureau for Jewish Emigration (Zentralstelle für jüdische Auswanderung), with headquarters in Amsterdam, during the Nazi Germany occupation of the Netherlands in World War II. \n\nBetween March and October 1943 the group, led by former auto mechanic and Willem Briedé, was responsible for tracking down Jews in hiding and arresting them. The group arrested and delivered to the Nazi authorities 8,000-9,000 Jews. Most of them were deported to Westerbork concentration camp and later shipped to and murdered in Sobibor and other German extermination camps.\n\nThe bounty paid to Henneicke Column members for each captured Jew was 7.50 guilders (equivalent to about US $4.75). The group, consisting of 18 core members, disbanded on October 1, 1943. However, the Column’s leaders continued working for Hausraterfassungsstelle (Household property registration office), tracking down hidden Jewish property. \n\nBefore Nazi Germany retreated from the Netherlands in May 1945, Wim Henneicke was assassinated by the Dutch resistance in December 1944 in Amsterdam. Willem Briedé escaped the country and settled in Germany. In 1949 he was tried by a Dutch court in absentia and received the death penalty. The sentence was never carried out; Briedé died of natural causes in Germany in January 1962. \n\nThe history of the Henneicke Column was researched by Dutch journalist Ad van Liempt, who in 2002 published in the Netherlands A Price on Their Heads, Kopgeld, Dutch bounty hunters in search of Jews, 1943.\n\nList of members\nThe following list is incomplete.

"J.H. \"Henk\" de Vree (born 29 January 1954) is a Dutch politician, who served as a temporary member of the House of Representatives between December 2020 and March 2021. There, he represented the right-wing populist Party for Freedom (PVV).\n\nHe held a seat in the Hardinxveld-Giessendam municipal council between 2006 and 2011 as a member of a local party. Subsequently, he was elected to the States of South Holland, where he became the PVV's caucus leader.\n\nEducation and career \nBorn in Rotterdam, De Vree grew up in the neighborhood Overschie. He graduated from high school with an diploma. He went on to study law at Erasmus University Rotterdam in 1972, but dropped out after two years and started working at dredging company Boskalis in administration and automation. Starting in 1988, he studied business and computing at the Rotterdam Hogeschool voor Economische Studies at level for four years, and he also had a job at Multi Data Technics as system designer and department head during that time.\n\nHe has been working as an IT entrepreneur since 1990. In the 2000s, he chaired a Papendrecht sports club and served as a board member of the local chapter Tussen Lek en Merwede of the social services association Humanitas next to his job.\n\nPolitics \nHe joined the right-wing populist party Pim Fortuyn List (LPF) on 6 May 2002, the day Pim Fortuyn was assassinated, and became a board member of its South Holland chapter. He left the board later that year and joined the splinter party Democratisch Platform Nederland. De Vree also served as spokesperson for Actiecomité OZB Nee (Action committee property tax no), that was founded in 2004 after his municipality, Hardinxveld-Giessendam, had announced it would raise its property tax by 85%. As a result of the backlash, the municipal council lowered the increase to 55%.\n\nHe was elected to the Hardinxveld-Giessendam municipal council in March 2006 as a member of the new local party Transparante Partij voor Algemeen Belang (T@B; Transparent party for general interest). As councilor, De Vree wanted to cut government subsidies. He was re-elected in 2010, when his party received a plurality of council seats. He left the council in January 2011 to become a PVV politician, as the T@B did not want him to represent two parties in order to remain neutral.\n\nStates of South Holland and House of Representatives \nHe was elected to the States of South Holland in the March 2011 provincial election, being placed third on the PVV's party list. In the States Provincial, De Vree chaired the traffic and environment committee. He became PVV caucus leader in July 2014 when Vicky Maeijer left, and he was his party's in South Holland during the 2015 election. During his second term, he criticized spending of taxpayer money by politicians, refusing to stay in a hotel during a get-together for States Provincial members and calling a €1,000 silver pin for King's Commissioner Jaap Smit too expensive.\n\nHe ran for member of parliament (MP) in the 2017 general election, appearing 24th on the PVV's party list. His party won 20 seats, and De Vree received 257 preferential votes – not sufficient for him to be elected. Shortly before the election, the slogans \"Wilders racist\", \"PVV fascist\", and \"Henk de Vree, leave the PVV\" were spray-painted on his home. The far-left group De Kwade Kwasten (The angry brushes) claimed responsibility. As PVV caucus leader in South Holland, he was responsible for selecting his party's candidates for the 2018 municipal elections in the province. The PVV participated in five municipalities compared to one during the previous elections. In the States of South Holland, he opposed plans to renovate the provincial parliament building for around €50 million and wanted to lower the road tax.\n\nAgain the PVV's , De Vree was re-elected in the 2019 provincial elections, when the party lost half of its eight seats. During the campaign, he spoke out against measures to combat climate change. De Vree was appointed as temporary member of the House of Representatives in December 2020, when MP Vicky Maeijer went on maternity leave. He remained a member of the States Provincial. De Vree was not on any House committees. His temporary membership of the House ended after 29 March 2021, when Vicky Maeijer returned from her leave. De Vree was the PVV's 22nd candidate in the 2021 general election, which had been held two weeks earlier, but he was not elected due to the party winning seventeen seats. De Vree received 247 preferential votes. De Vree received a fourth term in the States of South Holland in March 2023, as he once more topped the party list. The PVV's seat count remained at four.\n\nPersonal life \nDe Vree has a wife and a son, and he lived in the South Holland municipality Hardinxveld-Giessendam when he was an MP.\n\nReferences \n\n1954 births\n21st-century Dutch politicians\nLiving people\nMembers of the House of Representatives (Netherlands)\nMembers of the Provincial Council of South Holland\nMunicipal councillors in South Holland\nParty for Freedom politicians\nPim Fortuyn List politicians \nPeople from Hardinxveld-Giessendam",

"Johannes Kleiman (17 August 1896 – 28 January 1959) was one of the Dutch residents who helped hide Anne Frank and her family during the Nazi occupation of the Netherlands. In the published version of Frank's diary, Het Achterhuis, known in English as The Diary of a Young Girl, he is given the pseudonym Mr. Koophuis. In some later publications of the diary, the pseudonym was removed (just like the other protectors' pseudonyms), and Kleiman was referred to by his real name.\n\nKleiman was born in Koog aan de Zaan, the Netherlands and met Otto Frank in 1923, when he was trying to establish a branch of the Michael Frank Bank in Amsterdam. Kleiman was registered as a proxy for the bank in May 1924 and given full powers in December of that year when the bank went into liquidation. He was hired by Frank as a bookkeeper for Opekta and Pectacon in 1938, but had become a close friend from about 1933, when the Frank family fled to the Netherlands to escape Nazi persecution in Germany.\n\nJohannes Kleiman became a member of the board of Opekta and the company was established at his home address for the next five months until it moved to Prinsengracht 263 at the end of 1940. He officially joined as bookkeeper for both Opekta and Pectacon, with Victor Kugler and secretary Bep Voskuijl for Pectacon, and Otto Frank and his secretary Miep Gies for Opekta.\n\nOn 4 August 1944, Kleiman was arrested with Victor Kugler during the Gestapo raid that arrested the Frank family and four other concealed Jews in the premises on the Prinsengracht. After interrogation at Gestapo headquarters, he and Kugler were transferred to a prison on the Amstelveenseweg for Jews and political prisoners awaiting deportation. Kleiman was imprisoned in the Amersfoort labour camp before he was released by special dispensation of the Red Cross because of his ill health. In all, he was a prisoner of the Nazis for about six weeks.\n\nAfter the publication of Anne Frank's diary, which detailed her two years in hiding, Kleiman regularly took journalists and visitors around the former hiding place, which had been vacated in the early 1950s. He became very involved in the establishment of the Anne Frank Stichting (Anne Frank Foundation) on 3 May 1957 but did not live to see the building open as a museum in May 1960. He died, behind his desk, on 28 January 1959. Otto Frank was devastated about this loss. On 8 March 1972, Yad Vashem recognized Kleiman as one of the Righteous Among the Nations.\n\nFurther reading\n The Diary of Anne Frank: The Revised Critical Edition, Anne Frank, edited by Harry Paape, David Barnouw, and Gerrold van der Stroom of the Netherlands Institute for War Documentation (NIOD), translated by Arnold J.

"American Job is a 1996 independent film directed by Chris Smith. Shot in a satirical pseudo-documentary style, the film follows Randy, a young man living in a Midwestern US town, as he tries one mundane job after another, including monitoring a machine at a plastics factory, working as a clean-up person at a fast-food restaurant, cleaning motels, and becoming a telephone solicitor.\n\nInspiration\nThe film was directly inspired by the 1987 magazine \"American Job\" created by Randy Russell, which was a collection of job stories from low-wage workers around the United States.\n\nSynopsis\n\nAmerican Job is a narrative film about Randy Scott (Randy Russell), a youth caught in the dismal confusion of living and working in the world of minimum wage. The film follows Randy through a number of low-paying, menial jobs including fast food dishwasher, custodian, telemarketer, and factory worker. It highlights the sheer boredom of minimum wage work and is a slightly comical and occasionally depressing look at what life is like in the US minimum wage arena.\n\nProduction\nAmerican Job was filmed in 1995 in the midwestern United States for $14,000 (USD). It was director Chris Smith's first film.\n\nReception\nIn 1996, the film was part of a roving national exhibition as part of the Fuel Tour. It screened in 1996 at the Museum of Modern Art in New York City as part of the museum's Cineprobe series, and was also screened at the 1996 SXSW Film Festival in Austin, Texas. It has received positive reviews by various media outlets. Nicolas Rapold of The New York Sun later called it \"Easily one of the decade's best indie debuts\" and likened it to Mike Judge's 1999 cult workplace comedy Office Space. \n\nThe film also garnered director Chris Smith with a 1997 Independent Spirit Award nomination for the Someone to Watch Award.\n\nReferences\n\nExternal links\n \n\nFilms directed by Chris Smith\n1996 films\n1996 documentary films\nAmerican documentary films\n1990s English-language films\n1990s American films",

"Zonker Harris (his full name is revealed in Doonesbury: A Musical Comedy to be Edgar Zonker Harris) is the stereotypical unfocused confused hippie character in Garry Trudeau's comic strip Doonesbury. He made his first appearance as a perennial pot-smoking pest plaguing B.D.'s football team in 1971. He moved with Mike, B.D., and the gang to a rural commune (named Walden in homage to Thoreau's 19th century idyll).\n\nFamily\nZonker's family consists of his mother, father, \"Uncle\" Duke, his nephew Zipper, and his sister, Louise. His mother and father have a habit of fighting, which leads to the mother leaving for a short time to clear her head (but always returning in time to water the plants). Whenever this happens, Zonker's father becomes upset and visits Zonker, within minutes of the argument. Although Zonker's sister never appears in the series, she is the mother of Zipper Harris, Zonker's nephew.\n\nZonker's ancestors from Colonial America are mentioned several times in the series. Nathan Harris was a minuteman (who could literally be ready in one minute) as well as an activist for civil rights and was responsible for \"freeing\" a nearby slave (who was under the impression that they were in Virginia, where slavery was still legal. They were, in fact, in Massachusetts). Nathan's wife, Amy Harris, was equally revolutionary, fighting for women's equality in the Constitution and taking up an apprenticeship with Paul Revere to become a silversmith. Neither cause worked out very well however, as men weren't interested in women's civil rights and she was unable to even cast simple pewter tankards. She quits her apprenticeship when Nathan assures her that he needs her as a companion and equal as well as a wife.\n\nHistory\n\nWhile at Walden Commune, Zonker spent most of his time watching TV, getting high, and swimming around in a minuscule body of water called \"Walden Puddle\", which he considered to be a sacred and holy place. In his early years in the strip, Zonker had the ability to talk to plants. (Mike also talked to the plants during Zonker's stint as Lieutenant Governor of American Samoa.) In later stories, Zonker appeared to lose this ability, but it has sprung back up occasionally, and he has been seen conversing with a marijuana plant, and a scrawny Christmas tree in recent years. Other than these few exceptions, this power seems to have left him, and he misses it terribly. When wondering out loud why he had it in the first place, he was told \"It was the drugs, man\". Ironically, it was a plant that informed him of this.\n\nZonker is habitually unemployed, and is very protective of his slacker lifestyle. He has taken on temporary jobs as a bartender and a postman, but always leaves these careers as soon as he gets bored with them. The only \"work\" to which he has shown any diligence is acquiring a suntan. Throughout the 1980s, he spent more and more of his time trying to develop \"the perfect tan\", and even became a celebrity (on par with a professional athlete) for his accomplishments, with George Hamilton as his idol. Eventually he wised up to the damage the sun was doing to his skin, and has since appeared in public service announcements about sun safety.\n\nAfter his graduation from Walden, Zonker eventually enrolled in \"The Baby Doc College of Physicians\" (which was run by Uncle Duke, an old family friend). However, he dropped out after winning $23 million from a lottery ticket. Shortly afterward, he had to spend most of it on saving Duke from being a zombified slave, but had enough left over to buy a British title (His Lordship the Viscount St. Austell-in-the-Moor Biggleswade-Brixham), which caused him to be called to England as a tie-breaker for a vote in the House of Lords over one of Margaret Thatcher's tax bills. He stayed at another lord's castle for several months, oblivious to many not-so-subtle hints to leave, and was eventually forcibly removed by a butler. He ended up as a live-in nanny for Mike and J.J. Doonesbury (who kicked him out in the early 1990s).\n\nLifestyle\nZonker spent several years as a live-in babysitter for B.D. and Boopsie's daughter Samantha in Connecticut. As they live on the former Walden Commune, Zonker was reunited with his beloved puddle. He contributed to the household by working at McFriendly's, apparently a portmanteau of McDonald's and Friendly's restaurants.\n\nIn 2012, with the legalization of marijuana in Colorado, Zonker and his nephew Zipper began to conceive a plan to move to Boulder and start a marijuana farm. They did this in early 2014.\n\nOccasionally he travels back to his birthplace of California to commune with \"Old Surfer Dude\", an elderly man who preaches the virtues of the surfer lifestyle in a style reminiscent of both a kung fu master and Yoda. He has been in conflict for many years with David Geffen for denying the public access to his beaches, in conflict with California law. Geffen finally relented in 2005. There is an access way in Malibu named after Zonker.\n\nZonker is entirely uninterested in sex and romance and has never pursued a romantic relationship. He claims that this is because his heart was broken by a girl when he was ten years old, and that this convinced him that love wasn't worth the trouble.\n\nZonker often supports political causes that are out of the mainstream. Zonker voted for Ross Perot in 1992 and worked for his Uncle Duke's 2000 presidential campaign. In a March 2010 strip, he told a Tea Party supporter that he has \"always stuck it to the man\".\n\nWesleyan University students hold an unofficial yearly event in April called Zonker Harris Day, celebrating psychedelic music and culture, with the Doonesbury character as a mascot. In early 2008, the new Wesleyan University president, Michael S. Roth, declared Zonker Harris Day to be \"stupid\", and the Residential Life office officially opposed its \"hippie-druggie\" image. Funding for the event was banned pending a new title. After prolonged disagreement, students renamed the event \"Ze Who Shall Not Be Named Day\". With a new name, the former Zonker Harris Day was held as usual on April 19, 2008. The students protested what they viewed to be unnecessary and irrelevant censorship, while the administration maintained that Zonker Harris Day gave the university a poor image. A series of strips in late 2010 parodied this, with Zonker (having been told of the event's renaming) debating whether or not to personally intervene, especially in light of the major conflict on his calendar in April – the Royal Wedding of Prince William.

"William Lumbergh is a fictional character, who appeared initially in the Milton animated shorts, and later was portrayed by Gary Cole in the 1999 film Office Space as the film's main antagonist. A caricature of corporate management, Lumbergh is a division vice president of the software company Initech, based in Texas, and serves as the main antagonist of the film. He drives a blue Porsche 911 SC with a vanity license plate \"MY PRSHE\". He wears formal, solid-color day dress shirts with Winchester collars and suspenders with a belt—a fashion faux pas—as well as an MIT college class ring. According to his Initech employee's personnel file, Lumbergh graduated from MIT with a BS in physics.\n\nLumbergh is a micromanager who is focused on busy work and paperwork, notably TPS reports. He has been described as \"the antithesis of the motivational management leadership ideal\". He greets subordinates with an unenthusiastic \"What's happening?\", and when asking an employee to do an unpleasant task, starts the sentence with, \"I'm gonna need you to\", or \"If you could go ahead and\", as well as ending these requests with \"that'd be great/terrific\" and \"mmmkay?\" A Wharton Journal article said that the character \"brilliantly exposed the emptiness of linguistic conventions at work.\" Social historian Joe Moran writes that Lumbergh's \"non-confrontational\" communication style \"masks the reality of management coercion\".\n\nRole in the film\nIn the film, Lumbergh is presented as a micromanager, whose favourite targets are programmer Peter Gibbons (the main protagonist, played by Ron Livingston) and collator Milton Waddams (Stephen Root). He makes Peter work nearly every weekend and belittles Peter for not including a new-design cover sheet on a TPS report, and assigns Milton an ever-increasing number of menial tasks and constantly makes him move his desk, farther and farther from the window.\n\nAfter Peter sleeps throughout the weekend after being hypnotised into not caring about his job, Lumbergh leaves seventeen messages on Peter's answering machine.\n\nDespite being a vice-president, Lumbergh is shown to be spineless when business consultants Bob Slydell and Bob Porter are brought in to help with downsizing Initech, and eventually start questioning Lumbergh after his poor management comes to their attention. He also does not know how to respond to Peter's flippant attitude when he comes to work while hypnotised; Peter's actions include removing a door handle that constantly gives him static shocks, preparing fish at his desk, playing Tetris, and messily knocking down a cubicle wall blocking his view out the window. Furthermore, when Milton is revealed to have been made redundant five years earlier, but still receives pay and comes to Initech (as neither he nor the accounting department were told), the consultants tell accounting to stop paying Milton without telling him and Lumbergh laughs, as well as confiscating Milton's beloved red Swingline stapler and eventually moving him and his desk downstairs to the basement storage areas, where he is told to tackle the cockroach problem.\n\nAfter this, Lumbergh's fate is never elaborated on, though the deleted scenes reveal the filmmakers considered having him die in a fire started by Milton in revenge for being mistreated, and Peter, alongside coworkers Michael and Samir, discuss attending his funeral. In deleted scenes Peter's boss at his new construction job behaves exactly like Lumbergh.\n\nReferences\n\nExternal links\n Best Bosses from Hell discussing Lumbergh, from NPR's Talk of the Nation (July 27, 2006)\n\nComedy film characters\nFictional managers\nFictional business executives\nTelevision characters introduced in 1991\nInternet memes\nMale characters in film\nFictional Massachusetts Institute of Technology people",

"Anthony Jenkins, better known as P.D.A. is an American pop/hip hop artist and producer from Tulsa, Oklahoma. The name P.D.A. stands for Public Display of Afflection (Afflection being a hybrid of the words Affliction and Affection for what he states as a \"the struggle between love and hate\"). He has been named one of Tulsa's Most Influential People in 2007, 2008, and 2010\n\nEarly life\nP.D.A. started his music career early. He began singing in school choirs and at the age of 11 he joined the Tulsa Youth Opera and performed in off broadway musicals such as Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat. He then turned to hip hop music at the age of 13 and released his first album \"Prologue\" at the age of 18. He interned at a local recording studio (Big Wolf Entertainment) where he learned the basics of studio recording and there he worked on his second album Act I – The Next Concept that was released later in his career due to artistic complications. He soon left Big Wolf Entertainment and started his own home studio under the name Squaresoft Productions (no relation to the video game company) and began work on his next album.\n\nMusic career\n\nAct II – A Different Victim\nHe began work on Act II in the summer of 2006 and released the album in February 2007 after signing with the independent label\nFat Lip Entertainment. The album consists of 17 songs and features samples from a wide range of different artists such as White Zombie, Melanie Safka, Diana Ross and the Supremes, as well as samples from the video game soundtracks of Um Jammer Lammy and Resident Evil 4.

Act II – A Different Victim released to regional acclaim landing P.D.A. three of Tulsa World's Spot Music Awards for Album of the Year, and Best Hip-Hop Artist 2 years in a row and was nominated for an ABOT award for Best Locally Produced, Independent Album, but lost to a pre-fame David Cook. The album also helped him land the cover of Urban Tulsa, a popular publication in Tulsa. The local success of the album provoked a solid 2 years of national tours and eventually led to being featured in SPIN Magazine and Oklahoma Magazine and opening for acts such as Akon, Jeffery Star, Millionaires (group), and Critical Bill. In 2010 Act II was named No. 61 in Oklahoma Rock's 100 Greatest Albums of the 2000s.

"Christoph Maria Schlingensief (24 October 1960 – 21 August 2010) was a German theatre director, performance artist, and filmmaker. Starting as an independent underground filmmaker, Schlingensief later staged productions for theatres and festivals, often accompanied by public controversies. In the final years before his death, he staged Wagner's Parsifal at the Bayreuth Festival and worked at several opera houses, establishing himself as a Regietheater artist.\n\nEarly life and education\nSchlingensief was born on 24 October 1960 in Oberhausen. His father was a pharmacist and his mother a pediatric nurse. As a child, he worked as an altar server and already made short films with a hand-held camera.\n\nHaving passed his Abitur exams, he twice failed to gain admission to the University of Television and Film Munich. From 1981 he studied German language and literature, philosophy and art history at Ludwig-Maximilians-Universität München, but also dabbled as a musician and finally dropped out in 1983 to work as an assistant to the experimental filmmaker Werner Nekes. After working as a teacher at Hochschule für Gestaltung Offenbach am Main and Kunstakademie Düsseldorf, he became a production manager on Hans W. Geißendörfer's TV series Lindenstraße.\n\nCareer\nAlready as a young man Schlingensief had organized art events in the cellar of his parents' house, and local artists such as Helge Schneider or Theo Jörgensmann performed in his early short films. He considered himself a 'provocatively thoughtful' artist. He created numerous controversial and provocative theatre pieces as well as films, his former mentor being filmmaker and media artist Werner Nekes.\n\nFilm \n\nAlready Schlingensief's debut feature film, the surreal, absurd experimental Tunguska – Die Kisten sind da! (\"Tunguska – The Crates Are Delivered!\", 1984) was well received by critics. Growing up in the shadow of the New German Cinema, Schlingensief was deeply influenced by the likes of Rainer Werner Fassbinder—many members of whose stock company of actors such as Udo Kier, Margit Carstensen, Irm Hermann or Volker Spengler became regulars in Schlingensief's films—or Alexander Kluge, with whom he collaborated on numerous occasions. To said period of film, Schlingensief delivered both a heartfelt homage as well as the final coup de grâce with —starring Helmut Berger, playing an inept director's effort to remake Pier Paolo Pasolini's Salò, or the 120 Days of Sodom (1975)—in much the same way he dealt with German avant-garde cinema 15 years earlier with his first feature film Tunguska – The Crates Are Delivered starring . Drawing parallels to the work of British filmmaker Derek Jarman, Egomania – Island without Hope (1986) starred Kier and Tilda Swinton. Other influences include Luis Buñuel, Werner Schroeter or Herbert Achternbusch—and Schlingensief's filmic works have been compared to just as wide a range of filmmakers, from Jean-Luc Godard to Russ Meyer.\n\nWith his \"Germany Trilogy\", consisting of 100 Years of Adolf Hitler – The Last Hour in the Führerbunker, The German Chainsaw Massacre – The First Hour of the Reunification and Terror 2000 – Germany out of Control, Schlingensief came to prominence. Since then he shaped the cultural and political discourse in Germany for more than two decades and established himself as one of the country's most important and versatile artists. The \"Germany Trilogy\" deals with three turning points in 20th-century German history: the first movie Hundert Jahre Adolf Hitler (\"A Hundred Years of Adolf Hitler\", 1989) covers the last hours of Adolf Hitler, the second The German Chainsaw Massacre (1990), depicts the German reunification of 1990 and shows a group of East Germans who cross the border to visit West Germany and get slaughtered by a psychopathic West German family with chainsaws, and the third Terror 2000 (1992) focuses on xenophobic violence after the reunification process.\n\nOne of Schlingensief's central tactics was to call politicians' bluff in an attempt to reveal the inanities of their \"responsible\" discourse, a tactic he called \"playing something through to its end\". This strategy was most notable in his work Please Love Austria (alternately named Foreigners out! Schlingensiefs Container) at the time of the FPÖ and ÖVP coalition in Austria, a work which attracted international support, a media frenzy and countless debates about art practice.\n\nIn 2009, he joined the jury of the Berlin International Film Festival with Tilda Swinton as jury president.\n\nTelevision\nSchlingensief soon became a figure of considerable celebrity and notoriety in Germany, thanks to several popular television projects. Broadcast in 1997, Talk 2000 was a talk show with celebrity guests in which Schlingensief sometimes interrupted interviews to discuss his own personal problems. In U3000 (2000), he and his crew were filmed acting crazily on platforms and in cars of the Berlin subway system; the program aired on MTV Germany. In Freakstars 3000 (2003), a six-part American Idol-style parody, two dozen people from an assisted-living home for the mentally disabled competed for spots in a new band.\n\nArt \nIn 1997, Schlingesief staged an art action at the documenta X exhibition in Kassel as part of the performance space \"Hybrid WorkSpace\", which was curated by Klaus Biesenbach, Nancy Spector and Hans-Ulrich Obrist. During the performance, Schlingensief was arrested for carrying a placard with the words \"Kill Helmut Kohl!\". In November 1999, invited by P.S.1 Contemporary Art Center and organized by Klaus Biesenbach, Schlingensief carried out a performance at the Statue of Liberty in New York City, where, kneeling down at the foot of the statue, he handed Germany over to globalization.\n\nHis exhibition The Last Hour, with its twisted metalwork from a crashed car, footage of a long tunnel and paparazzi pictures of Princess Diana, was in 2006 rejected by the Frieze Art Fair in London's Regent's Park and instead ended up in a little-known gallery space in Bethnal Green. He later joined the Hauser & Wirth gallery. In 2007, the Haus der Kunst, Munich, mounted an exhibition of Schlingensief's work; it presented African Twin Towers and short films that have been shot while the artist directed The Flying Dutchman at the Teatro Amazonas in Manaus, Brazil.\n\nTheatre \n\nIn the 1990s, Schlingensief directed a series of chaotic, satirical productions at the Volksbühne theatre in Berlin. He also directed a version of Hamlet, subtitled, This is your Family, Nazi~Line, which premiered in Switzerland, the so-called neutral territory equated with the Denmark of the opening line in Shakespeare's play where there is something foul afoot. Events around the piece questioned and attacked Switzerland's 'neutrality' in the face of growing racism and extreme right wing movements. The artist duo Ubermorgen provided the Internet platform Nazi~Line for the project, where former members of Neo Nazi groups were sought and then cast as actors to play characters in the drama on stage as a way of re-integrating the ex-Neo-Nazis with the common workforce of the theatre.\n\nSchlingensief's work covered a variety of media, including installation and the ubiquitous 'talk show' and has in many cases led to audience members leaving the theatre space with Schlingensief and his colleagues to take part in events such as Passion Impossible, Wake Up Call for Germany 1997 or Chance 2000, Vote for Yourself in which he formed the Last Chance Party where anyone could become a candidate themselves in the run up to the federal election of 1998 in Germany. The same year he made a performance project for an Austrian festival for new art called Chance 2000 for Graz: eight pillars were built at the central Marienplatz square, where homeless people were invited to sit on, and the deal was that the one who sat there longest could win 7,000 shillings, plus every day the artist threw 20,000 shillings on passers-by in front of the eyes of those who sat on the pillars. The project was interrupted with help of the right-wing Freedom Party of Austria, that collected 10,000 signatures against it.\n\nWith his demands for people to \"prove they exist\" in an age of total TV coverage and \"act, act, act\" in the sense of becoming active not 'actors', his work could be considered a direct legacy of Bertolt Brecht, as it demands involvement as opposed to passivity and merely looking on as is the case in traditional text-based theatre. In an age of extreme media fatigue, his was a fresh voice albeit and undisputedly containing echoes of the past, often humorous and subversive yet never cynical. His influences included Joseph Beuys and his idea of social sculpture, and artists Allan Kaprow and Dieter Roth. At the time of his death, he was involved in productions for the Ruhrtriennale and for the Berlin Staatsoper's \"Metanoia\".\n\nOpera \nIn 2004, at the invitation of Wolfgang and Katharina Wagner, he staged Wagner's Parsifal for the Bayreuth Festival. When he accepted the Wagner family's invitation, it caused surprise because of his iconoclasm and his well-known aversion to all things tainted by association with Hitler; however, he had been invited to the festival before in 1991. Film clips and costumes focused the action on the conflict between Christianity and Islam. The production, in the first years conducted by Pierre Boulez, was revived in 2005 and 2006, but unlike other Bayreuth Festival stagings it was not filmed. Christian Kracht would later describe \"the likes of Wolfgang Wagner\" as \"bourgeois & enemy to Christoph Schlingensief\".\n\nIn his last productions, such as the fluxus oratorio Church of Fear and the ready made opera Mea culpa, he staged his own cancer experience, and related it to his first 'stage experience' as a young altar boy.\n\nOpera Village Africa \n\nSchlingensief's commitment to developing nations later took him to Burkina Faso, where he was awarded a concession to build an opera house, arguably his most ambitious project. The project, which received funding from the German government, was also to include a theater and film school, and an infirmary. Construction began in January 2010, near Ouagadougou, and was later continued under the guidance of Schlingensief's wife and long-time assistant Aino Laberenz, whom he married in 2009. In 2012, numerous internationally renowned artists have donated works for a fundraising auction at the Hamburger Bahnhof, among them Marina Abramović, Pipilotti Rist, Georg Baselitz, Christo, Olafur Eliasson, Andreas Gursky, Wolfgang Tillmans and Günther Uecker. Patti Smith, a friend of Schlingensief for many years, contributed a drawing that she made in the summer of 2010 during a joint exhibition in Munich.\n\nDeath\n\nAfter learning he had lung cancer in early 2008, Schlingensief wrote about his illness and in 2009 published Heaven Could Not Be as Beautiful as Here: A Cancer Diary. Also, he already organised part of his estate and entrusted it for archiving to the Berlin Academy of the Arts. He died on 21 August 2010 in Berlin, Germany, at age 49. In a note to his death in the Süddeutsche Zeitung, Literature Nobel Prize Laureate Elfriede Jelinek wrote:\n\nSchlingensief was one of the greatest artists who ever lived. I always thought one like him cannot die. It is as if life itself had died. He was not really a stage director (in spite of Bayreuth and Parsifal), he was everything: he was the artist as such. He has coined a new genre that has been removed from each classification. There will be nobody like him.\n\nVenice Biennale\nIn 2011, the jury of the 54th Venice Biennale awarded the international exhibition's highest honor, the \"Golden Lion for best national pavilion\", to Germany for its display of work by Christoph Schlingensief. Organized by curator Susanne Gaensheimer, who completed the exhibition after Schlingensief's death, the German pavilion was transformed into a replica of the church where the artist spent his teenage years as an altar boy in order to present Fluxus Oratorio, the second of his three-part final work, created after he had undergone surgery to remove a lung. The exhibition presented multimedia documents—from videos to x-rays—relating to his battle with terminal cancer.

"Hubert Miles Gladwyn Jebb, 1st Baron Gladwyn (25 April 1900 – 24 October 1996) was a prominent British civil servant, diplomat and politician who served as the acting secretary-general of the United Nations between 1945 and 1946.\n\nEarly life and career \nThe son of Sydney Jebb, of Firbeck Hall, Yorkshire, Jebb attended Sandroyd School and Eton College before graduating from Magdalen College, Oxford with a first class honours in history. \n\nIn 1929, he married Cynthia Noble, daughter of Sir Saxton Noble, 3rd Baronet. Noble was the granddaughter of Sir Andrew Noble, 1st Baronet and the great-granddaughter of Isambard Kingdom Brunel. The couple had three children, one son and two daughters: Miles, Vanessa, married to the historian Hugh Thomas, and Stella, married to scientist Joel de Rosnay. Jebb's granddaughter is the French writer Tatiana de Rosnay.\n\nJebb entered the British Diplomatic Service in 1924 and served in Tehran, where he became known to Harold Nicolson and to Vita Sackville-West. He later served in Rome as well as at the Foreign Office in London, where he served in such positions as Private Secretary to the Head of the Diplomatic Service.\n\nWorld War Two \nDuring the Second World War, Jebb left the Foreign Office to serve as the Central Executive Officer for the Special Operations Executive (1940-42).

He was the UK's first permanent UN representative. In the latter role, he was angered that secret negotiations between the British, French and Israelis in advance of the Suez invasion in 1956 took place at Sèvres without his knowledge and, in certain respects, that he was sidelined by Prime Minister Harold Macmillan at the Paris \"big power\" summit in 1960.\n\nJebb's rather \"grand\" manner caused Foreign Secretary Selwyn Lloyd to coin an epigram: \"You're a deb, Sir Gladwyn Jebb\".\n\nPolitical career \n\nJebb was knighted in 1949. On 12 April 1960 Jebb was created a hereditary peer and as Baron Gladwyn, of Bramfield in the County of Suffolk. London Gazette He became involved in politics as a member of the Liberal Party.

Jebb unsuccessfully contested the Suffolk seat in the European Parliament in 1979.\n\nWhen asked in the early 1960s why he had joined the Liberal Party, he replied that the Liberals were a party without a general and that he was a general without a party. Like many Liberals, he passionately believed that education was the key to social reform.\n\nDeath \n\nJebb died on 24 October 1996 at the age of 96, the 51st anniversary of the founding of the United Nations.

"Dean is a 2016 American comedy-drama film written and directed by Demetri Martin and produced by Honora Productions. The film stars Martin, Gillian Jacobs and Kevin Kline. Martin plays the title character, Dean, who is a published cartoon artist who draws in a simple style with felt pen and Bristol board. The drawings in the film are done by Martin.\n\nThe film premiered at the Tribeca Film Festival on April 16, 2016 and was released in the United States on June 2, 2017.\n\nPlot\n\nDean lives in Brooklyn and has recently lost his mother. His father, Robert, is having difficulty adjusting to being alone. Dean's ex-fiancée Michelle tries to give back the ring, as Dean has \"un-proposed\", but he refuses.\n\nDean's best friend from college Brett is getting married, and is actually the \"second best\" man behind Kevin. Dean's cat-obsessed friend Eric has also come from Los Angeles for the wedding. At the wedding, Dean's ex distracts him, and he drops the wedding ring. At the reception, Dean begins his best man speech, but gets interrupted by Kevin, who tries to assault him.\n\nThe next morning, Dean's dad announces he is selling the house. To postpone, Dean uses an excuse of an LA trip to meet with an ad agency who want to use his drawings. Frustrated by Dean's lack of engagement, his father has already brought in realtors Carol and Patrick, who he incorrectly assumes are married. Later Robert sees Carol's online dating profile on her PC, and he uses it to flirt with her.\n\nMeanwhile the advertising agency puts Dean off by their idea to use his work in a deodorant ad. Dean excuses himself and leaves. Calling his LA friends, including Becca and Eric, he goes to a party, where he meets Nicky. He is immediately attracted to her and pursues her clumsily, despite her friend Jill blocking him. He gives Nicky his number, written on small notebook paper in a \"twentieth-century way.\"\n\nAs Dean is flying out, Nicky's text invites him to the beach, so he gets off the plane and heads to meet her. Finding each other, they go to dinner. He kisses her at the end of the night. After an unsuccessful meetup with Nicky and Jill at an art gallery, Nicky tells Dean that she and Jill are going to San Francisco, and he asks if he and Eric can tag along. Just before a hike, Eric gets a call about a cat emergency and insists on flying home immediately.\n\nRobert and Carol have been dating in New York. Returning from a play, Carol invites him to her apartment for coffee, but he declines because he is \"still married.\" Meanwhile, Nicky spends the night with Dean, where he confesses he thinks he is in love with her, then mentions the failed engagement and his mother dying. In the morning, Nicky leaves him a \"twentieth-century style\" letter at the front desk, apologizing for not telling him she is separated from a current husband.\n\nDean returns to New York and finishes his book. Robert now lives in an apartment in the city. Dean apologizes for not being there, and finally reconciles with his dad. Dean sends a message and signed copy of his book to Eric, telling him of what he's learned about loss and healing. Robert sees Carol walking in his neighborhood, and they walk on together.\n\nCast\n\n Demetri Martin as Dean Anderson\n Kevin Kline as Robert Anderson\n Gillian Jacobs as Nicky Hoey\n Rory Scovel as Eric\n Christine Woods as Michelle\n Ginger Gonzaga as Jill\n Peter Scolari as Patrick\n Briga Heelan as Becca\n Reid Scott as Brett Smith\n Mary Steenburgen as Carol\n Barry Rothbart as Kevin\n Nancy Lenehan as Mom's Voice\n Beck Bennett as Trevor\n Andrew Santino as Chad\n Kate Berlant as Naomi\n\nComedian H. Jon Benjamin has an uncredited cameo as a phone salesman.\n\nReception\nOn review aggregator Rotten Tomatoes, the film holds an approval rating of 62% based on 50 reviews, with an average rating of 6.13/10. The site's critical consensus reads, \"Deans light touch with heavy themes -- and a talented cast led by writer-director-star Demetri Martin -- help compensate for the familiar story's narrative drift.\" On Metacritic, which assigns a normalized rating, the film holds a score of 58 out of 100, based on 19 critics, indicating \"mixed or average reviews\".\n\nBased in part on Martin's own experience losing his father at age 20 to kidney cancer that may have been caused by a nearby Superfund site, Dean received the prize for Best Narrative Feature from the Tribeca Film Festival in 2016, and the Tribeca jury praised the film for \"breathing new life into a well-worn genre.\" John DeFore of The Hollywood Reporter noted that the film, a story of grief, generally feels less meta than Martin's comedy work, and he opined that Martin effectively pulls the audience \"along for the ride.\" He continues, \"If grief dramedies are as much a rite of passage as romantic rebounds, it's exciting to imagine what Martin's next step as a filmmaker will look like.\" Critiques of the film focused on the movie's similarity to others in the genre, at some points failing to differentiate itself from its more successful influences.\n\nIt ran four weeks in theaters, with a limited distribution. Although not a box-office bomb, it did not recoup the original investment in the theatrical run.\n\nReferences\n\nExternal links\n\n2016 romantic comedy-drama films\nAmerican coming-of-age comedy-drama films\nAmerican romantic comedy-drama films\nCBS Films films\n2016 directorial debut films\nFilms about dysfunctional families\n2016 comedy films\n2016 drama films\n2016 films\n2010s English-language films\n2010s American films",

"\"Tyler, the Creator\"\nTyler, the Creator Tyler Gregory Okonma (born March 6, 1991), commonly known by his stage name Tyler, the Creator, is an American rapper, record producer, and music video director. He rose to prominence as the co-founder and \"\"de facto\"\" leader of the alternative hip hop collective Odd Future, and has performed on and produced songs for nearly every Odd Future release. Okonma has created all the artwork for the group's releases and has also designed the group's clothing and other merchandise.

"Tyler Gregory Okonma (born March 6, 1991), known professionally as Tyler, the Creator, is an American rapper and record producer. He is one of the founding members of the music collective Odd Future. Okonma has won two Grammy Awards, three BET Hip Hop Awards, a BRIT Award, and a MTV Video Music Award.\n\nOkonma self-released his debut mixtape Bastard in 2009 and rapidly gained attention among the online music press for his horrorcore-influenced sound and violent, transgressive lyrical content. His debut studio album Goblin (2011) brought him mainstream exposure, which was aided by the popularity of the single \"Yonkers\" and its accompanying music video. During this period, Odd Future gained rapid popularity and Okonma faced controversy over his lyrics. Beginning with his second album Wolf (2013), Okonma began moving away from his stylistic horrorcore towards a more alternative hip hop sound. His 2015 album Cherry Bomb featured a greater focus on melodic and jazz-fused sounds which has continued throughout his later discography. Okonma's later albums, Flower Boy (2017), Igor (2019) and Call Me If You Get Lost (2021), were all released to widespread critical acclaim, with the latter two debuting at number one on the Billboard 200 and each winning Best Rap Album at the 2020 and 2022 Grammy Awards, respectively.\n\nAs a visual artist, Okonma has created the cover art for Odd Future's releases, their clothing, and other merchandise. In 2011, Okonma founded the streetwear brand Golf Wang and then began the annual music festival Camp Flog Gnaw Carnival both in 2012. Okonma also founded and operated the streaming service Golf Media between 2015 and 2018, which contained original scripted series from Okonma and a livestream of each Camp Flog Gnaw Carnival.\n\nEarly life and education\nTyler Gregory Okonma was born on March 6, 1991, in Hawthorne, California, the son of a Nigerian father with Igbo ancestry and an American mother of mixed and descent. He never met his father and spent his early life living in Hawthorne, moving to Ladera Heights at 17. At the age of seven, he would take the cover out of a CD case and create covers for his own imaginary albumsincluding a tracklist with song lengthsbefore he could even make music. At the age of 14, he taught himself to play the piano. In his 12 years of schooling, he attended 12 different schools in the Los Angeles and Sacramento areas. In the eighth grade, Okonma joined the drama class and was kicked out due to being too hyper, and in the ninth grade, Okonma was not allowed to join the band class because he could not read music. He worked at FedEx for just under two weeks and at Starbucks for over two years. Okonma took his stage name from a Myspace page he used to post his creative endeavors.\n\nCareer\n\n2007–2011: Odd Future, Bastard, and Goblin\n\nOkonma co-founded the alternative hip hop collective Odd Future in 2007, alongside Hodgy, Left Brain, and Casey Veggies. They self-released their debut mixtape, The Odd Future Tape, in November 2008. On December 25, 2009, Okonma self-released his first solo mixtape, Bastard. The mixtape was eventually ranked 32nd on Pitchfork Media's list of the Top Albums of 2010. On February 11, 2011, Okonma released the music video for \"Yonkers\". The video received attention from several online media outlets. An extended version with a third verse was made available on iTunes. Okonma won Best New Artist for \"Yonkers\" at the 2011 MTV Video Music Awards. Okonma's thematic content in these first two solo projects led fans and publications alike to categorize him in the horrorcore scene, although he vehemently rejected his connection with it.\n\nIn early 2011, Okonma was gaining the interest of a number of figures in the music industry, including Steve Rifkind, Jimmy Iovine, Rick Ross and Jay-Z. Okonma and the rest of Odd Future eventually signed a deal with Red Distribution/Sony in April 2011. His debut studio album, Goblin, was released May 10, 2011. Okonma and fellow Odd Future member Hodgy Beats made their television debut on February 16, 2011, when they performed \"Sandwitches\" on Late Night with Jimmy Fallon. On March 16, Okonma and Hodgy performed \"Yonkers\" and \"Sandwitches\" at the 2011 mtvU Woodie Awards, being joined by other members of Odd Future during \"Sandwitches\". During an interview with Okonma for Interview, Waka Flocka Flame expressed his interest in collaborating with the Odd Future frontman to direct a music video for him. In early 2011, Okonma told fans through his Formspring account that his second album would be called Wolf and it was scheduled to be released in May 2012. Okonma also announced that Odd Future would establish their own TV show called Loiter Squad. On September 8, 2011, the show was finally confirmed as a 15-minute live-action show composed of various sketches, man on the street segments, pranks and music made by Odd Future. Dickhouse Productions, the production partnership that created Jackass, was scheduled to produce the show.\n\n2012–2014: Wolf and Loiter Squad TV show\n\nOdd Future's television show Loiter Squad premiered on Adult Swim on March 25, 2012. The show ran for three seasons and featured guest appearances from celebrities, including Johnny Knoxville, Lil Wayne and Seth Rogen. In 2015, Okonma stated that the show \"is no more\". On February 14, 2013, Odd Future uploaded a video to their YouTube account, which includes L-Boy skydiving and stating that Wolf would be released on April 2, 2013. The same day, Okonma would reveal the three album covers via his Instagram account.\n\nIn promotion of Wolf, Okonma performed several guest verses for other artists, notably \"Trouble on My Mind\" by GOOD Music artist Pusha T, \"Martians vs. Goblins\" by The Game (also featuring Lil Wayne), \"I'ma Hata\" by DJ Drama (also featuring Waka Flocka Flame and D-Bo), the title track from fellow Odd Future member Domo Genesis' collaboration album with The Alchemist, No Idols, and \"Blossom & Burn\" by Trash Talk (also featuring Hodgy Beats). Okonma also co-produced the song \"666\" from MellowHype's third album Numbers, which featured Mike G.\n\nThrough March and April 2013, Okonma toured North America and Europe. The first single from the album was released on February 14, 2013, titled \"Domo23\" along with the music video which features cameos from Domo Genesis, Earl Sweatshirt, Jasper Dolphin and Taco Bennett. On February 26, 2013, Okonma performed the songs \"Domo23\" and \"Treehome95\" on Late Night with Jimmy Fallon.\n\nWolf was released on April 2, 2013, by Odd Future Records and RED Distribution under Sony Music Entertainment. It featured guest appearances by Frank Ocean, Mike G, Domo Genesis, Earl Sweatshirt, Left Brain, Hodgy Beats, Pharrell, Casey Veggies and Erykah Badu. The album was produced solely by Okonma, except for the final track \"Lone\". Along with the lead single \"Domo23\", music videos were filmed for \"Bimmer\", \"IFHY\" and \"Jamba\". Upon release, the album was met with generally positive reviews and debuted at number three on the Billboard 200, selling 90,000 copies in its first week.\n\nOn January 31, 2014, Okonma was reported to be recording with Mac DeMarco.\n\n2015–2016: Cherry Bomb\n\nOn April 9, 2015, Okonma released the music video for the song \"Fucking Young\" to Odd Future's official YouTube channel. The video also included a short snippet of another song, \"Deathcamp\". Okonma announced on the same day that the songs will be featured on his upcoming album Cherry Bomb, set for release on April 13, 2015. Okonma announced via his Twitter account that the album would feature Charlie Wilson, Chaz Bundick and Black Lips member Cole Alexander. Two days later, Okonma performed the songs \"Fucking Young\" and \"Deathcamp\" for the first time at Coachella. During the set, Okonma notably criticized VIP members in the audience, of which many were celebrities, for their lack of enthusiasm.\n\nCherry Bomb was released digitally on April 13, 2015, through Odd Future Records, with physical copies of the album, featuring five different album covers, set to be released on April 28, 2015. The album features performances from notable artists such as Kanye West, Lil Wayne and Schoolboy Q. The album was supported by a world tour through North America, Europe and Asia, beginning at Coachella music festival on April 11, 2015, and ending in Tokyo, Japan in September 2015. Okonma cancelled the Australian leg of his Cherry Bomb World Tour following a campaign by the grassroots organization Collective Shout against the portrayal of women in his music.\n\nOn August 26, 2015, Okonma revealed that he had been banned from visiting the United Kingdom for three to five years, which forced him to cancel a string of tour dates supporting the Cherry Bomb album, including the Reading and Leeds Festivals. The reason for the ban comes from lyrics dating back to 2009. His manager Christian Clancy said they were informed of the ban via a letter from then-Home Secretary Theresa May. May cited lyrics from the mixtape Bastard as the reason for the ban, although Okonma had toured multiple times in the UK since its release. Okonma later claimed that he felt he had been treated \"like a terrorist\" and implied that the ban was racially motivated, stating that \"they did not like the fact that their children were idolizing a black man\".\n\n2017–2018: Flower Boy, television, and WANG$AP\n\nOn April 8, 2017, Frank Ocean released a song titled \"Biking\" on his Beats One radio station \"blonded RADIO\", which features both Tyler, the Creator and Jay Z. Eight days later it was announced Okonma would write, produce, and perform the theme song for scientist Bill Nye's new show, Bill Nye Saves the World.\n\nOn June 28, the trailer for Okonma's TV show Nuts + Bolts premiered on Viceland. The show focuses on things Tyler, the Creator finds interesting or is passionate about, and explains how they are created. The series premiered on August 3, 2017.\n\nOn June 29, 2017, Okonma released the song \"Who Dat Boy\" featuring ASAP Rocky on a new YouTube channel, following many promotional countdown posts on his social media accounts. Later that night, he released the song on streaming services alongside a new song titled \"911 / Mr. Lonely\" featuring Steve Lacy, Frank Ocean, and Anna of the North. On July 6, 2017, he announced the title, tracklist and release date of his fourth album, Flower Boy, which was released on July 21, 2017. Several singles were released following up to the album's release date, including \"Boredom\" and \"I Ain't Got Time!\". The album was released via iTunes, Spotify, and other major music services. On September 14, 2017, Tyler, the Creator announced his third TV show to date, The Jellies. It premiered on October 22, 2017. Flower Boy received rave reviews from critics and was nominated for Best Rap Album at the 60th Annual Grammy Awards, giving Okonma his second Grammy nomination after contributing to 2013 Album of the Year nominee Channel Orange, but was beat out by Kendrick Lamar's fourth studio album Damn.\n\nOn March 29, 2018, Okonma released \"Okra\", amongst a string of freestyles and remixes. Okonma referred to it as a \"throwaway song\", stating that it was not going to be included on any upcoming album, and was not an indication of the sound of any future projects. On May 22, 2018, he released \"435\", continuing this string of singles. On July 23, 2018, Okonma and ASAP Rocky announced a collaborative project, WANG$AP, by releasing a music video for a remix of Monica's \"Knock Knock\" named \"Potato Salad\" on \"AWGE DVD (Vol. 3)\", a video compilation by AWGE, ASAP Rocky's creative agency.\n\n2019–present: Igor and Call Me If You Get Lost\n\nOn May 6, 2019, Okonma released two short video clips on his online profiles which featured new music. The videos showed him dancing erratically while wearing a long blonde wig, multicolored suit, black sunglasses, and a grill; he donned the same style for pictures on his social media and the music videos for the album's singles. He soon announced his fifth studio album, Igor, which was released on May 17. Igor was met with widespread critical acclaim and debuted at number one on the US Billboard 200, becoming Okonma's first number-one album in the United States. The album also features the song \"Earfquake\", which peaked at number 13 on the Billboard Hot 100. On December 23, 2019, Okonma released two songs, \"Best Interest\", a song that did not make the cut of Igor that was released with a music video, and \"Group B\". Igor won the award for Best Rap Album at the 62nd Grammy Awards.\n\nOn January 26, 2020, Okonma won his first-ever Grammy for Igor at the 2020 Grammy Awards. Okonma admitted that while he was \"very grateful\" for his win, the categorizing of his music as rap is a \"backhanded compliment.\" \"It sucks that whenever we — and I mean guys that look like me — do anything that's genre-bending or that's anything they always put it in a rap or urban category. I don't like that 'urban' word — it's just a politically correct way to say the n-word to me,\" he said. He also added that he would love to be recognized on a more mainstream level and not forever pigeonholed in \"urban\" categories.\n\nFor his sixth studio album, Call Me If You Get Lost, Okonma placed billboards in major cities across the world containing a phone number that when called, played a recorded conversation between Okonma and his mother. That recording is included in the album as \"Momma Talk\". Soon after the billboards were spotted, a website of the same name was discovered. The album's lead single, \"Lumberjack\", was released on June 16. The following day, Okonma revealed the album's cover and confirmed its release date of June 25. Upon release, it received widespread critical acclaim and debuted at number one on the US Billboard 200, becoming Okonma's second number-one album in the United States. On January 5, 2022, Tyler, the Creator was announced as a headliner of Louisville's Forecastle Festival scheduled for May 27–29, 2022.\n\nLouis Vuitton's Men's Fall-Winter 2022 fashion show, held at Carreau du Temple, Paris was one of the last shows put together by the late fashion designer and Louis Vuitton creative director Virgil Abloh. This show was scored by Tyler, the Creator. His score was arranged by Arthur Verocai and it was Gustavo Dudamel who conducted the live performance by the Chineke! orchestra.\n\nOn March 25, 2022, Okonma appeared on two tracks off Nigo's album I Know Nigo!, the opening track \"Lost and Found Freestyle 2019\" with A$AP Rocky, and the closer, \"Come On, Let's Go\", the latter of which was released along with a music video showcasing Tyler's Golf le Fleur* clothing line. Call Me If You Get Lost won the award for Best Rap Album at the 64th Grammy Awards.\n\nOn March 27, 2023, Okonma revealed Call Me If You Get Lost: The Estate Sale, which would include songs recorded for Call Me If You Get Lost but did not appear on the final album, including the single \"Dogtooth\", which was released on the day of the announcement, alongside a music video. On Twitter, Okonma stated that \"Call Me If You Get Lost was the first album I made with a lot of songs that didn't make the final cut\". On March 29, 2023, another single \"Sorry Not Sorry\" was released, alongside a music video. The Estate Sale was released on March 31, 2023, along with a music video for the song \"Wharf Talk\".\n\nArtistry \n\nOkonma's music has been variously considered alternative hip hop, bedroom pop, jazz rap, R&B, and neo soul, while his earlier music was considered horrorcore. Over the years, his style of production has progressed from gritty and dark in early projects such as Goblin, but soon transitioned to a more jazz-based approach, with the album Cherry Bomb, which Okonma described in 2018 as his favorite album. Okonma's fourth album, Flower Boy, \"marked the beginning of a new era — a complete departure from the wildly offensive lyrics and dark themes that defined his previous works\". Igor, Okonma's first Grammy-winning album, was a deeply personal concept album about \"the emotional journey of being the odd man out in a love triangle\", while Call Me If You Get Lost, his second Grammy-winning album, was a concept album about \"the persona of \"Tyler Baudelaire,\" a suave, well-traveled gentleman with a sophisticated taste for high art\".\n\nOkonma is also known as the leader of Odd Future, and the group as a whole has been compared to the influential hip-hop group Wu-Tang Clan. Since the beginning of his career, Okonma has largely self-produced songs for his projects and other Odd Future members; he has been heavily influenced by the production work of The Neptunes member Pharrell Williams, whose debut solo album, In My Mind (2006), had a substantial impact on Okonma, inspiring him to co-found the Odd Future collective. He has also cited Williams' band N.E.R.D's debut album In Search of... (2001) as an impactful album for him. Okonma has named Washed Out, Beach House and Broadcast as influences. He was also initially influenced by rapper Eminem, calling Eminem's album Relapse (2009) one of his favorite albums in 2011. During his acceptance of the Cultural Influence Award at the BET Awards, Okonma thanked Q-Tip, André 3000, Chad Hugo, Kanye West, Missy Elliott, Busta Rhymes, and Hype Williams as his influences.\n\nIn addition to music, Okonma also is involved in the fashion industry; he runs both Golf Wang, a streetwear company known for its colorful aesthetic, and Golf Le Fleur, a high-end luxury line described to \"embody the globe-trotting mise en scène of his latest album Call Me If You Get Lost\".\n\nImpact\nArtists who have cited Okonma as an influence include Billie Eilish, Lil Nas X, and Brockhampton member Kevin Abstract. In a No Jumper interview, Juice Wrld stated that Tyler, the Creator and Odd Future had a profound impact on him as a child, \"When they came out with some rappers that could actually skate, that were raw as hell, and that were different, that shit fucked my head up.\" In an interview with Rolling Stone, Jack Harlow stated that he grew up watching Tyler, The Creator, and that his works have had a significant impact on hip hop culture.\n\nCurrent cultural impacts\n\nSeveral of Okonma's societal and cultural impacts are highlighted in the speech he gave after accepting the 2020 Best Rap Album Grammy for his 2019 album IGOR. During the speech he said \"I never felt fully accepted in rap.\" Okonma expressed during another interview that he had always felt out of place as a black man growing up. \"We had this conversation just wanting to snowboard when I was 12, but someone said 'That's white people sh**t. Black people don't do that.' No, you don't do that. Don't put a damper on me and tell me what I can and can't be just because of the way everyone else was that's my same color…\". In another interview regarding his Grammy win, Okonma said \"...It sucks that whenever, we, and I mean guys that look like me, do anything that's genre bending, or just, anything, they always put it in a 'rap' or 'urban' category... and I don't like that urban word it's just a politically correct way to say the n-word. So, when I hear that I'm just like, 'why can't we just be in pop?' I felt like half of me feels like the rap nomination is a backhanded compliment.\" Okonma further explained that despite being grateful for the acclaim his music received, he felt as if being nominated in the \"rap\" category allowed for him to acknowledge the continuous limitation set on Black people, comparing the feeling to being the young family member who is given an unplugged remote while everyone else uses the plugged-in as a form of appeasement and false inclusion.\n\nOkonma has encouraged the younger generation to follow their own dreams. He urges young artists to have full confidence in their creations, saying, \"Believe in your shit\" in an interview with Converse. On his Facebook page, Okonma writes, \"...you will start trusting yourself, then you trust your ideas, then you fucking become that person you really want to be.\" He promotes authenticity and names it as a reason for his success. Okonma encourages genuineness in relation to his race and sexuality as well. The lyrics in \"Where the Flower Blooms\" state: \"Tell these Black kids they could be who they are. Dye your hair blue, shit, I do it too.\"\n\nPersonal life\n\nOkonma has been an avid skateboarder since 2002 and collects BMX bicycles. He identifies as an atheist. Okonma has asthma, and has been seen using an inhaler while on stage. For this reason, he follows a straight edge lifestyle.\n\nSexuality \nOkonma has been the subject of speculation regarding his sexuality and has made numerous direct references in lyrics and interviews to having had same-sex relationships or experiencing same-sex attractions. He described himself in a 2015 Rolling Stone interview as \"gay as fuck\" and said \"My friends are so used to me being gay. They don't even care.\" In 2017, during an interview with Noisey, Okonma said that by age 15 he already had a boyfriend. In a 2018 interview with Fantastic Man, while discussing the Flower Boy lyric \"I been kissing white boys since 2004\" and the public response to it, Okonma said \"It's still such a grey area with people, which is cool with me. Even though I'm considered loud and out there, I'm private, which is a weird dichotomy.\" Igor follows what many have interpreted to follow a romantic relationship between Okonma and a closeted bisexual man, while the song \"Wilshire\" on Call Me If You Get Lost has the lyric \"I could fuck a trillion bitches every country I done been in/Men or women, it don't matter, if I seen 'em, then I had 'em\". The song \"Sorry Not Sorry\" from the deluxe version of the album also includes the lyric \"Sorry to the guys I had to hide/Sorry to the girls I had to lie to\", referring to his hiding of previous male lovers from the public.\n\nOkonma has been criticized for his use of homophobic slurs, in particular, his frequent use of the epithet \"faggot\" in his lyrics and on Twitter. He has denied accusations of homophobia, stating, \"I'm not homophobic. I just say faggot and use gay as an adjective to describe stupid shit,\" and, \"I'm not homophobic. I just think faggot hits and hurts people.\" However, he later said in an interview with MTV about the slurs, \"Well, I have gay fans and they don't really take it offensive, so I don't know. If it offends you, it offends you. If you call me a nigger, I really don't care, but that's just me, personally. Some people might take it the other way; I personally don't give a shit.\" Okonma openly supported fellow Odd Future member Frank Ocean after Ocean publicly revealed a past relationship with another young man. Lyrics on the album Flower Boy led to speculation that Okonma himself was coming out as gay. The tracks in question were \"Foreword\", \"Garden Shed\", and \"I Ain't Got Time!\"\n\nLegal issues \nOn December 22, 2011, Okonma was arrested on suspicion of vandalism after allegedly destroying equipment during a show at The Roxy Theatre in West Hollywood. Fan recorded video depicted Okonma throwing a microphone at a sound engineer. Okonma subsequently paid US$8,000 in damages to The Roxy.\n\nOn March 15, 2014, Okonma was arrested in Austin, Texas, for inciting a riot after telling fans to push their way past security guards at his South by Southwest performance. Due to this incident, Okonma faced up to one year in prison and a $4000 fine. Okonma's lawyer, Perry Minton, argued that the riot charge was overblown and perpetuated misconceptions of his client, who has no previous arrests. These charges were later dropped.\n\nOn August 26, 2015, Okonma revealed that he had been banned from visiting the United Kingdom for three to five years, which forced him to cancel a string of tour dates supporting the Cherry Bomb album, including the Reading and Leeds Festivals. The reason for the ban comes from lyrics dating back to 2009. His manager Christian Clancy said they were informed of the ban via a letter from then-Home Secretary Theresa May. May cited lyrics from the mixtape Bastard as the reason for the ban, although Okonma had toured multiple times in the UK since its release. Okonma later said that he felt he had been treated like a terrorist and implied that the ban was racially motivated, stating that \"they did not like the fact that their children were idolizing a black man.\" According to the BBC, it is believed the ban was lifted in February 2019, concurring with a scheduled performance in London to promote Igor. However, this show was forcibly cancelled by police due to safety concerns: the venue was claimed to be \"overcrowded\" and \"too rowdy.\" After winning International Male Solo Artist at the 2020 Brit Awards, Okonma referenced the ban. \"I wanna give a special shout out to someone who I hold dear to my heart, who made it where I couldn't come to this country five years ago,\" he said. \"I know she's at home pissed off. Thank you Theresa May.\"\n\nFeuds\n\nEminem\nOn August 31, 2018, Eminem's single \"Fall\" called Okonma a homophobic slur and claimed Okonma explored sexuality in his music for more attention. Eminem also attacked Okonma for being critical of his single \"Walk On Water\" and Shady XV (2014). After receiving backlash for his lyrics, Eminem responded in an interview with Sway, saying, \"I think the word that I called him was one of the things where I felt like this might be too far. In my quest to hurt him, I realized I was hurting a lot of other people. It was one of the things that I kept going back to. Not feeling right with this\". In an interview with The Guardian, Okonma responded, saying, \"[The \"Fall\" line] was okay. Did you ever hear me publicly say anything about that? I knew what the intent was. He felt pressured because people got offended for me. We were playing Grand Theft Auto when we heard it. We rewound it and [shrugged]. Then kept playing\".\n\nDJ Khaled\nIn June 2019, after Igor debuted at number 1 on the Billboard 200 over DJ Khaled's album Father of Asahd, DJ Khaled posted a video on Instagram, criticizing Okonma's music saying, \"I make albums so people can play it and you actually hear it. [If] driving your car, you hear another car playing it, go to the barbershop, you hear them playing it [and] turn the radio on, and you hear them playing it. It's called great music. It's called albums [where] you actually hear the songs. Not mysterious shit you never hear\". He then deleted the video.\n\nOn August 6, 2021, Okonma spoke about the DJ Khaled controversy on Hot 97, stating that he enjoyed \"just watching a man die inside because the weirdo is winning\". He claimed that DJ Khaled \"had to deal with that because his whole identity is being number one and when he didn't get that, that sat with him longer in real life time than that moment. I moved on.\" Okonma made multiple references to \"mysterious music\" on Twitter, writing \"MYSTERIOUS MUSIC!

"Luqman\nOther Islamic traditions portray Luqman as an Arab poet and wise man from the people of ʿĀd who lived in Al-Ahqaf, near modern-day Yemen. A large number of stories demonstrating Luqman's sharp mind have made their way into Islamic tradition, including his attempts to gain a woman's love. Over time, a large number of proverbs have been attributed to him, rendering him a sort of Arabic Aesop figure. One saying attributed to Luqman has him crediting his success in life to \"\"truthful speech, fulfilling the trust, and leaving what does not concern me.\"\" A number of scholars speculate that he",

"Bakjur was a Circassian military slave (mamluk or ghulam) who served the Hamdanids of Aleppo and later the Fatimids of Egypt. He seized control of Aleppo in 975 and governed it until 977, when the rightful Hamdanid ruler, Sa'd al-Dawla, regained it. Given the governorship of Homs, in 983 he went over to the Fatimids and launched an attack on Aleppo, which was defeated through the intervention of Byzantine troops. Bakjur then became governor of Damascus for the Fatimids until 988. He made a last attempt to capture Aleppo in 991, which again was defeated thanks to Byzantine assistance. Bakjur was captured by Sa'd al-Dawla and executed.\n\nLife \nBakjur was a Circassian military slave (mamluk or ghulam), originally recruited by the Hamdanids. By 969, he had risen to be the deputy of Qarquya, the powerful chamberlain (hajib) of the emir Sayf al-Dawla. After the latter's death in 967 Qarquya took over rule of Aleppo, effectively dispossessing Sayf al-Dawla's son Sa'd al-Dawla, who after long wanderings managed to find refuge in Homs.\n\nIn 975, Bakjur deposed and imprisoned Qarquya and seized Aleppo for himself. This encouraged Sa'd al-Dawla to attempt to recover his father's capital. Aided by some of his father's ghulams, and, crucially, the powerful Banu Kilab tribe living around Aleppo, Sa'd al-Dawla besieged Aleppo and captured it. Qarquya was set free and again entrusted with the affairs of state until his death a few years later, while Bakjur was given the governorship of Homs in compensation. Sa'd al-Dawla had recovered control of his emirate, but his position was precarious: Aleppo was situated between two great powers, the Byzantine Empire and the Fatimid Caliphate, who vied for control over the Hamdanid emirate, and northern Syria with it. Since 969, Aleppo had been tributary to the Byzantines, a fact Sa'd al-Dawla resented. On the other hand, he was dependent on Byzantine aid to prevent the Fatimid caliph, al-Aziz, from annexing the emirate outright. As a result, his policy vacillated between the two powers.\n\nIn 983, Bakjur quarrelled with Sa'd al-Dawla and went over to the Fatimids. The Fatimids supplied him with an army, with which he attacked Aleppo in September. Sa'd al-Dawla was forced to appeal to the Byzantine emperor Basil II for help, and the Fatimid siege was raised by an army under Bardas Phokas the Younger. The Byzantines then proceeded to sack Homs in October. The city was returned to Hamdanid control, while Bakjur fled to Fatimid territory. \n\nBakjur now appealed to al-Aziz, and requested the governorship of Damascus. This request produced a rift between the Caliph al-Aziz, who favoured expansion in Syria and saw in Bakjur a tool for capturing Aleppo, and his long-serving vizier, Yaqub ibn Killis, who was opposed to this policy and moreover wished to maintain the incumbent governor, Baltakin, a protégé of his. Powerful interests within the city, especially the Jews under Manasseh ibn al-Qazzaz, and the Turkish military establishment also opposed Bakjur's appointment due to his relation with the local Arab tribal leaders, particularly the Banu Tayy under Mufarrij ibn Daghfal. In the end, al-Aziz overrode any objections and ordered the city handed over to Bakjur (December 983). \n\nBakjur's tenure in Damascus was troubled due to the opposition he faced, and the brutal measures with which he repressed it made him unpopular. Already soon after his assumption of the governorship he executed one of Manasseh ibn al-Qazzaz's Jewish supporters, while in 987 a plot, sponsored by Ibn Killis, to unseat him resulted in a wholesale slaughter of Bakjur's opponents in the city. Finally, in spring 988 Ibn Killis persuaded al-Aziz to depose Bakjur, and dispatched an army under Munis against Damascus. Bakjur and his Arab ally Mufarrij skirmished with Munis' Fatimid troops and their Arab tribal allies for about two months, before Munis scored a major success at a battle in Dariya, south-east of Damascus. Disheartened, Bakjur obtained a promise of pardon and free passage, and left for Raqqa on the Euphrates on 29 October. He was replaced by another of the protégés of Ibn Killis, the ghulam Ya'qub al-Siqlabi. \n\nFrom Raqqa, he continued to plot against Sa'd al-Dawla, hoping to regain control of Aleppo. Sa'd al-Dawla, again with Byzantine assistance, was able to defeat and capture Bakjur at Na'ura east of Aleppo in April 991, and later had him executed.\n\nReferences\n\nSources \n \n \n \n \n\n991 deaths\nCircassians\nFatimid governors of Damascus\nGhilman\nPeople from the Hamdanid emirate of Aleppo\nHoms\nPeople of the Arab–Byzantine wars\nExecuted military personnel\nYear of birth unknown\nDefectors\n10th-century people from the Fatimid Caliphate\nSlaves from the Fatimid Caliphate\nFatimid ghilman",

"Thamal al-Dulafi (; ) was an Abbasid military commander and longtime governor (wali or amir) of Tarsus and the borderlands with the Byzantine Empire in Cilicia (). A former Dulafid slave, he commanded several successful raiding expeditions, mostly by sea, against the Byzantines, but also against the Fatimids in Egypt and against the Qarmatians in Iraq.\n\nLife \nThamal was a eunuch, and, as his nisba of \"al-Dulafi\" indicates, began his career as a slave (ghulam) of the autonomous Dulafid dynasty of Jibal, which was suppressed by the Abbasid caliph al-Mu'tadid in 896. He is first mentioned in 917/8, when he was appointed by the Abbasid caliph as commander of a naval expedition against the Byzantine Empire. He led his fleet to a successful raid, returning with prisoners and booty, while the governor of Tarsus, Bishr al-Afshini, led the year's overland raid.\n\nIn 920, he led his fleet of 25 ships to Egypt, where he participated in the repulsion of a Fatimid invasion. His arrival prevented the Fatimid ships from entering the Rosetta branch of the Nile, and on 12 March, near Abukir, he inflicted a crushing defeat on the Fatimid fleet, whose vessels were driven to the shore by the wind. Most of the Fatimid crews were either killed or captured. In spring 921, Thamal and his fleet sailed to Alexandria, captured by the Fatimids in 919. The fleet entered the city's harbour and after a fight drove out its Fatimid garrison, while the populace was evacuated to Rosetta as a precaution. He then joined with the rest of the army under the Abbasid commander-in-chief Mu'nis al-Muzaffar to blockade the Fayyum Oasis, where the remaining Fatimid forces had withdrawn, and forced them to burn their equipment and retreat westwards over the desert.\n\nIn 923, while Mu'nis al-Muzaffar led the land raid against the Byzantines, Thamal once more led the seaborne expedition, which allegedly made 1,000 prisoners and took much plunder, including over 28,000 animals. By this time, he had apparently already been appointed as governor of Tarsus. In 924, according to al-Mas'udi, he led his fleet, augmented by Syrian and Egyptian ships, to the vicinity of Constantinople itself. There he made contact with the Bulgarians and agreed joint action in Tsar Simeon's war against the Byzantines; some of the Bulgarians even returned with Thamal to Tarsus, although nothing further is known to have come of this. However, in 924–926 he left the borderlands and went to Iraq, where he participated in the fighting against the Qarmatians. During his absence, Tarsus was governed by his lieutenant Bushra, who along with the eunuch Muflih also supervised the prisoner exchange with the Byzantines in September–October 925.\n\nHaving returned to Tarsus in late 926/early 927, he led the summer raid against the Byzantines in 927. During the campaign Thamal defeated a Byzantine army, and during his return defeated the Kurdish leader Ibn al-Dahhak, who had renounced Islam and entered Byzantine service. Thamal returned to Tarsus in December 927/January 928. In March/April 931, according to Ibn al-Athir, he embarked on a raiding expedition in March/April. The campaign was hampered by the weather—his horses reportedly sank in snow up to the breast—but Thamal defeated a Byzantine force, killing 600 and capturing 3,000 soldiers and taking much booty. Immediately after his return to Tarsus in July/August, he left for the main summer expedition, which reached as far as Amorium, which was abandoned by its garrison and plundered by the Muslims. Thamal then led his men up to Ancyra, before returning to Tarsus in September/October. The women and children caught during this raid reportedly fetched 136,000 gold dinars on the slave market. In the next year his raid was successful enough that letters declaring \"victories on land and on sea\" were read in the Baghdad mosques.\n\nThamal is no longer mentioned after this, unless he can be identified with \"al-Thamali\" who led a raid in 941/2. The latter however is most likely one of Thamal's retainers (ghilman), who remained a powerful force in Tarsus and the thughur for some time to come: Thamal's lieutenant Bushra succeeded him as governor, followed a few years later by another of his ghilman, Nasr al-Thamali; while the Thamaliyya (\"men of Thamal\") are mentioned as a faction in 938, when they killed their rival Tarif.

"In early Arabian history, su'luk (, plural , ṣaʿālīk) was a term that can be translated as brigand, brigand-poet, or vagabond. The sa'alik were mostly individuals who had been forced out of their tribes and who lived on the fringes of society, although some of them maintained ties with their tribes. Some of the sa'alik became renowned poets, writing poetry about the hardships of desert life and their feelings of isolation. Famous sa'alik include Al-Shanfara, Ta'abbata Sharran, and Urwa ibn al-Ward. The sa'alik were most prominent in pre-Islamic Arabia, but persisted during the Umayyad and Abbasid caliphates.\n\nTerminology\nThe precise meaning of the term su'luk is difficult to determine, because in biographical materials about the sa'alik poets, the term is used most frequently in the sense of \"honorable brigand\". However, in poetic texts the term seems to mean \"poor\". Khatim al-Ta'i and al-A'sha make comparisons between wealth (ghina) and tasa'luk, which in that context probably means poverty, and al-Kakhlaba Hubayra ibn 'Abd Manaf speaks of \"my generosity whether I be su'luk or the possessor of camels,\" suggesting the same meaning.\n\nRelated terms are sometimes used to describe the sa'alik, including dhu'ban (wolves) and khula'a, singular khali'. A khali''' was an individual who had been cast out of his tribe, but eventually acquired the connotation of \"a rebel who makes a conscious decision to practice evil\". Another term associated with the sa'alik is aghribat al-Arab, literally \"Arab crows,\" denoting an individual whose father was an Arab and whose mother was an African slave. As the sons of slaves, they were slaves themselves unless their fathers chose to recognize them. According to scholar Albert Arazi, the only sa'alik who were also aghribat al-Arab were Khufaf ibn Nudba, , and al-Harith ibn Sharid. Other sa'alik such as Ta'abbata Sharran and Al-Shanfara are sometimes considered to have been aghribat al-Arab as well, but Bernard Lewis argued that this was due to confusion in the early sources between the two groups.\n\nHistory\nMost sa'alik were excluded from their tribes, a process known as khala', usually in retaliation for a crime that dishonored the tribe. Those excluded could sometimes receive protection from another tribe, or they might be banished to a specific location, such as the mountain of Hadawda. These sa'alik often banded together to perform raids on the tribes, stealing camels or other goods. They may also have raided caravans and markets. The sa'alik could then sell these goods to other tribes. Some sa'alik, such as Urwa ibn al-Ward, were popularly celebrated as romantic heroes who helped the poor.\n\nIn the early days of Islam, Muhammad offered to spare the lives of the sa'alik if they converted, and allowed them to keep their stolen booty. They served as mercenaries during the First Fitna, particularly in the Battle of the Camel. They flourished as bandits during the Umayyad Caliphate, but under the Abbasid Caliphate their composition seems to have shifted. They became \"quasi-military units composed of Arabs\nwho invested a province, established themselves there and practised brigandage on a major scale, and with such success that garrisons of regular troops were unable to dislodge them.\" Sa'alik also fought for Yazid ibn Umar al-Fazari during the Siege of Wasit in 749–750.\n\nPoetry\nAccording to Albert Arazi, su'luk poetry had three major themes, or parameters. The first, the apologetic parameter, concerns the hard life of the poet with emphasis on his poverty, his courage, and his endurance. The poet may celebrate the virtue of sabr (endurance) and contrast it with the comparatively easy life of the tribes. In the second, the lyrical parameter, the poet describes his journeys through the desert, evoking the desert and its plants and wildlife, as well as the raiding and looting activities of the poet and his band. He may stress his kinship with the animals of the desert, such as wolves and hyenas. Finally, in the therapeutic parameter, the poet meditates on the imminence of death. The most famous su'luk poem is the Lamiyyat al-'Arab'' of Al-Shanfara. Poetic production by the sa'alik began in the pre-Islamic era and continued throughout the Umayyad period, but disappeared under the Abbasids. Only one su'luk poet is attested during the Abbasid caliphate, Bakr ibn al-Nattah.\n\nList of sa'alik\n \n\nUrwa ibn al-Ward\n\nTa'abbata Sharran\n\nAl-Shanfara\n\nNotes\n\nBibliography\n\nArabic poetry\nPre-Islamic Arabia\nArabic words and phrases\nOutlaws",

The ISA conducted these activities throughout Libya, including in the cities of Benghazi, Misrata, Sirte, Tajura, Tawergha, Tripoli, and Zawiya. Khaled is accused of being responsible for crimes against humanity and war crimes both as a participant and as the commander of the ISA.

"Vittorio Feltri (born 25 June 1943) is an Italian former journalist and politician. Among the many Italian newspapers he directed, he was most recently the editor-in-chief of daily Libero until 2020, when he ended his professional journalist career due to a number of controversies and disciplinary proceedings. As a member of the Brothers of Italy party, he was a member of the City Council of Milan from 2021 to 2022, and is a member of the Regional Council of Lombardy. He is the author of several books.\n\nEarly life and education \nFeltri was born in Bergamo, Italy, the son of Adele and Angelo Feltri (1906–1949). His father died at the age of 43 of Addison's disease. After obtainaning a diploma of window dresser, he graduated with a degree in political science at the University of Bergamo.\n\nCareer \nFeltri started his career as journalist in 1962, writing film reviews for the local newspaper L'Eco di Bergamo. In 1977, he moved to the Corriere della Sera. In the 1980s and 1990s, he was also director of Bergamo oggi, L'Europeo, and L'Indipendente.\n\nIn 1993, Feltri refused the offer of Silvio Berlusconi to get involved in Fininvest. The next year, he agreed to become editor of il Giornale, which was owned by Berlusconi, after its founder Indro Montanelli left. He was its editor until 1997. In the same period, he contributed to other newspapers and magazines, including Panorama, Il Foglio, and Il Messaggero. In 2000, he founded the right-wing newspaper Libero, which he ran until 2009. In August 2009, he once again became the editor of Berlusconi's il Giornale. In 2016, he returned to Libero, which he directed until 2020.\n\nIn June 2020, Feltri resigned from the , of which he had been a member since 22 September 1969. The choice came after a number of controversial statements related to the COVID-19 pandemic, Southern Italy, and disciplinary proceedings. The announcement was made by Il Giornale.\n\nPolitics \nPolitically, Feltri declares himself an anti-communist, Eurosceptic, and liberal conservative, with conservative and liberist views of the economy, and liberal views on issues such as euthanasia, prison reform, prostitution, and recreational drug use. He also shares Oriana Fallaci's criticism of Islam; his newspaper's chosen headline, Bastardi islamici (), after the November 2015 Paris attacks caused controversy.\n\nAn advocate of a constitutional monarchy under the House of Savoy, having taken part at the presentation of the 2001 manifesto of the Italian Monarchist Movement, he favours a presidential system over the status quo of a parliamentary republic. He is a supporter of Silvio Berlusconi and Italy's centre-right coalition, which he saw as the lesser of two evils, preferring the more right-wing Lega Nord and Brothers of Italy (FdI), who nominated him for President of Italy in 2015. In the 2015 Italian presidential election held on 29–31 January, Feltri received 49, 51, and 56 votes in the first three rounds, behind only Ferdinando Imposimato. In the fourth and final round, Feltri finished third with 49 votes.\n\nIn 2019, Feltri said that he would be happy if Giorgia Meloni of FdI would become Prime Minister of Italy, and said he had voted for Matteo Salvini's Lega in the 2018 Italian general election and the 2019 European Parliament election; for the latter, he was pleased with Lega and the underwhelming results of the Five Star Movement in the province of Bergamo. He was later critical of Salvini. In 2021, he joined FdI of Meloni. He became the top candidate of the party for the City Council of Milan elections; elected with 2,268 preferences, he left the office seven months later due to health issues. He was critical of anti-vaxxers. For the 2021 Milan municipal election, he said: \"I didn't vote myself, they gave me two sheets and I don't understand a damn thing about what was written. I think I voted Sala. I didn't write the name Feltri.\" In the 2023 Lombard regional election, as the head of the FdI's party list in support of the incumbent president Attilio Fontana, he was elected with 6,076 preferences. As the most senior member of the Regional Council of Lombardy, he is to chair the first session, which he described as a boredom.\n\nPersonal life \nFeltri married Maria Luisa at a young age, with whom he had twin daughters Saba Laura and Laura Adele. Widowed in 1967 at the age of 24, with his wife dead due to complications of childbirth, he remarried in 1968 to Enoe Bonfanti, with whom he had two children: Mattia, who is also a journalist, and Fiorenza. Feltri is an atheist. He is a supporter of the Atalanta football club. Feltri owns a Benito Mussolini's bust. About this, he clarified: \"For me, born in 1943, anti-fascism has never been in question. The bust was sent by an innkeeper, nice but very fascist. I put it there so as not to see it.\"\n\nOn 13 May 2010, Feltri spoke on Animal Awareness Day, expressing support for animal rights positions, in particular against sport fishing and in favour of vegetarianism. A cat lover, he said he was not completely vegetarian. Despite the conviction for a homophobic insult in 2011, he joined Arcigay in 2014, stating from the pages of Il Giornale: \"We are for freedom, without discrimination, convinced that it is necessary to overcome the prejudices that generate misunderstandings, banalities, [and] boring and stupid insults\".\n\nControversy and legal issues \nIn March 2010, Feltri was suspended six months from the professional register for the Boffo case, dating back to August 2009, and for the articles signed by , one of the Italian journalists who wrote for the newspaper directed by Feltri, published after his disbarment from the register. Feltri reacted to the news by stating: \"I am sorry that I am not a pedophile priest or at least a homosexual semi-priest or a left-wing conductor, but that I am simply a journalist who cannot therefore enjoy the protection of the bishops, nor become a martyr of information\". In Italian political journalistic language, the Boffo method means the activity of denigration in the press based on specially constructed false documents. Feltri later reiterated that the news he published about Dino Boffo, referring to Boffo's conviction of harassment and alleged homosexuality, was true, that he intended to provide information on the hypocrisy of a part of the Catholic world, and that he still felt sorrowful for having caused his resignation.\n\nIn December 2011, the Court of Milan sentenced Feltri to compensate Gianpaolo Silvestri, the former Federation of the Greens senator, among the founders of Arcigay, with €50,000 for a homophobic insult. He had used ad hominem, a strategy of rhetoric also used by the Sophists of ancient Greece, aimed exclusively at damaging the adversary, as opposed to philosopher Socrates, who had the goal of reaching truth. In 2017, Farina said that, according to him, Asia Argento simply chose to prostitute herself in order to be able to make a career. According to , another Italian journalist, there was nothing wrong with this; according to him, it was unfair to sue after twenty years, and having gained fame.\n\nIn 2019, Feltri expressed antisemitic views towards journalist David Parenzo and declared that Jews have bored him with the Holocaust. During a television interview in February 2021, he was asked by the journalist : \"Which relevant people would you like in the new government?\". He replied to her \"Hitler\", provoking controversy both on social media and in the press. During a television show in April 2020, Feltri considered Southern Italians as \"inferior people\". His words caused controversy around Italy. In response, he said that he meant to say they were inferior only and exclusively from an economic point of view, in the sense that the production of material (not spiritual) wealth, according to him, was superior in Lombardy rather than in Campania. He said that he was deeply in love with the city of Naples, its dialect, songs, and culture.\n\nWorks \nFeltri is the author of several books, including Buoni e cattivi. Le pagelle con il voto ai personaggi conosciuti in 50 anni di giornalismo (with , 2015), Il Quarto Reich. Come la Germania ha sottomesso l'Europa (with Gennaro Sangiuliano, 2014), Non abbiamo abbastanza paura. Noi e l'islam (2015); Il vero cafone (with , 2016), Chiamiamoli ladri.

"Italiano medio (lit. \"Average Italian Man\") is a 2015 Italian satirical comedy film written, directed and starred by Maccio Capatonda.\n\nPlot\n\nGiulio Verme is a radical environmental activist who demonstrates against the levelling of a local park to make way for a residential area commissioned by tycoon Giancarlo Cartelloni. Giulio was born of TV-addicted parents who had been severely neglecting him throughout childhood and youth, causing him to develop a hatred for TV and everything related to it. Giulio leaves home at a young age and becomes an environmentalist, animalist and vegan. During his studies in environmental science, where he graduates with honors, he meets fellow environmentalist Franca and eventually goes to live with her.\n\nAs the years go by, Giulio becomes increasingly disillusioned with his inability to raise awareness among the people around him, including Franca herself, whom he judges not coherent enough with her own ideals. After Franca leaves to do volunteering for two weeks, Giulio is visited by his schoolmate Alfonzo, now a door-to-door salesman, who tries to cheer Giulio up by administering a pill that temporarily reduces human brain usage to 2%. Under the influence of the drug, Giulio instantly becomes a thoughtless, vulgar, narcissistic womanizer: he cheats on Franca with his neighbor Sharon, then has Alfonzo take him to an exclusive nightclub, where he impersonates former footballer Ruud Gullit. Giulio later borrows the bouncer's Hummer and crashes it into a tree in the very same park he had been trying to save, then he steals an excavator and uses it to further vandalize the park. \n\nThe next day Giulio wakes up, having regained his consciousness, to the news that his vandalism acts have earned the park great attention by the media and public opinion, thus putting Cartelloni's levelling plans on hold. Giulio surmises that the only way to raise public awareness is through eco-terrorism. He joins an environmental NGO that plans to contaminate the city's water supply with large amounts of waste, so that citizens would understand the value of water. In order to reach the mindset to commit the reckless act, Giulio obtains more pills from Alfonzo, however he becomes addicted to the drug and trapped inside his newfound \"average Italian\" lifestyle, marrying Sharon and completely overturning his life. Giulio is noticed in this state by the talent scouts of the popular reality show Master VIP and accepts their offer to participate in the competition, eventually working his way up to the finals. Franca returns home and, after learning from Sharon and Alfonzo about the recent events, she takes them with her to the TV studio to attend the Master VIP finale.\n\nMaster VIP finalists are required to break from their past and everyone connected to it, thereby truly becoming VIPs: Giulio must divorce Sharon and cut ties with Franca and Alfonzo. Initially he complies, until Franca and Alfonzo reveal that he has been acting so recklessly of his own volition: the pills never existed and were a product of Giulio's own imagination to justify his behavior. Giulio briefly comes to his senses, addresses the audience and delivers an incoherent, ranting speech where both his personalities alternately prevail: this impresses Cartelloni, who is a judge in the show and instantly declares Giulio the winner. Giulio hallucinates about his negligent parents and tries to run towards them: he crashes into the camera, faints and falls into a coma.\n\nWhile Giulio is hospitalized, a psychologist explains that his mind is manifesting a split personality, due to years of repressing his latent desire to embrace conformity. As Giulio awakens from his coma, he understands the importance of compromise, which is often a necessity to get things done in Italy. He therefore finds a new way to save the park by exploiting his newly gained popularity: with Cartelloni's approval, he launches a new reality show where competitors are tasked with rebuilding the park using gardening tools.\n\nCast \n Maccio Capatonda as Giulio Verme / Antonino Verme / Mariottide\n Herbert Ballerina as Alfonzo Scarabocchi / Filomena Leccamuli / Pino Cammino\n Ivo Avido as Pippo / Tamarro / Buttafuori\n Lavinia Longhi as Franca Solidale\n Barbara Tabita as Sharon Pacchianotti\n Rupert Sciamenna as Giancarlo Cartelloni\n Gabriella Franchini as Rita Levati Mocassini\n Francesco Sblendorio as Ermanno Calcinacci\n Rodolfo D’Andrea as Rodolfo Purtroppi\n Adelaide Manselli as Marinella Sgarri\n Nino Frassica as The Doctor\n Luca Confortini as Manto di neve\n Pippo Lorusso as Armando \n Raul Cremona as The Illusionist\n Paolo Noise as Kevin\n\nReferences\n\nExternal links\n \n\n2015 films\n2015 comedy films\n2010s Italian-language films\nItalian comedy films",

"Flavio Briatore (; born 12 April 1950) is an Italian businessman. He started his career as a restaurant manager and insurance salesman in Italy. Briatore was convicted in Italy on several fraud charges in the 1980s, receiving two prison sentences, though the convictions were later extinguished by an amnesty. Briatore set up a number of successful Benetton franchises as a fugitive in the Virgin Islands and the United States. In 1990, he was promoted by Luciano Benetton to manage the Benetton Formula One racing team, which became Renault F1 in 2002. From 2007 to 2011, he was part-owner and chairman of London's Queens Park Rangers F.C. In September 2009, Briatore was forced to resign from the ING Renault F1 team due to his involvement in race fixing at the 2008 Singapore Grand Prix. After the Fédération Internationale de l'Automobile (FIA) conducted its own investigation, Briatore was banned indefinitely from any events sanctioned by the FIA, although this ban was later overturned by a French Tribunal de Grande Instance.\n\nEarly life and Benetton career \nBriatore was born in Verzuolo near Cuneo in the Maritime Alps to a family of elementary school teachers. After twice failing public (state) school, he attended a private (independent) school, receiving a diploma with the lowest grades in Land Surveying at Fassino di Busca high school. Briatore found early work as a ski instructor and restaurant manager. He opened a restaurant named Tribüla, which was Briatore's nickname. The restaurant was unsuccessful and had to close due to excessive debt.\n\nIn the 1970s, he moved to Cuneo and became an assistant to businessman Attilio Dutto, owner of the Paramatti Vernici paint company. Dutto was killed on 21 March 1979 in a car bomb attack by an unknown perpetrator.\n\nBriatore moved to Milan and worked for Finanziaria Generale Italia at the Italian stock exchange. During this period, he met Luciano Benetton, founder of the Benetton clothing company.\n\nConvictions and fugitive status \nBriatore was convicted of multiple counts of fraud in the 1980s, receiving two prison sentences. In 1984, a court in Bergamo found him guilty of various counts of fraud and he was fined and sentenced to one year and six months in prison. The sentence was subsequently reduced to one year by a court of appeal in 1988. In 1986, in Milan, Briatore was sentenced to three years for fraud and conspiracy for his role in a team of confidence tricksters who, over a number of years, set up rigged gambling games using fake playing cards. The judges described these as elaborate confidence tricks, in which victims were invited to dinner and then \"ensnared\" in rigged games that involved a cast of fictional characters and realised enormous profits for their perpetrators. After an appeal in 1987, the sentence was reduced to one year and two months. To avoid imprisonment, Briatore lived as a fugitive in Saint Thomas, Virgin Islands. He never went to prison and returned to the EU after both convictions were extinguished by amnesty. In 2010, a Turin court ordered Briatore rehabilitated, which by Italian Criminal Code results in the extinction \"of any criminal effect of the conviction\".\n\nDuring Briatore's fugitive status, he maintained close relations with Benetton and opened some Benetton stores in the Virgin Islands. When Benetton opened his first five stores in the United States in 1979, he appointed Briatore as director of the group's American operations. Thanks to Benetton's methods of franchising, the chain experienced a brief boom in popularity in the US, where, by 1989, there were 800 Benetton stores. Briatore, having taken a cut of each franchising agreement, became very wealthy. As store owners began to complain of competition from other Benetton stores, the number of stores decreased to 200 and Briatore began to look for a new business. In 1999, the Corriere della Sera wrongfully reported that he had been arrested in Nairobi on suspicion of fraud relating to real estate in Kenya, but further to a libel claim brought by Briatore against the newspaper, this allegation proved to be untrue and Briatore was compensated.\n\nFormula One\n\nBenetton Formula\n\nBriatore attended his first Formula One race, the Australian Grand Prix, in , having in the past proclaimed his lack of interest in the sport. Luciano Benetton appointed him commercial director of his Formula One team, Benetton Formula Ltd. (formerly Toleman), and when he fired the team management shortly thereafter, Briatore was promoted to managing director and set about turning Benetton into a competitive team.\n\nHe hired and quickly fired engineer John Barnard and lured young driver Michael Schumacher from the Jordan team after his first F1 race in . The Times observed that Briatore knew Schumacher could be the best and built a team around him at Benetton Schumacher went on to win at Spa in and again at Estoril in before claiming the World Drivers' Championship in and . The Benetton team won the World Constructors' Championship in 1995.\n\nIn 1994 Briatore rejected Umberto Agnelli's proposal to move to Ferrari.\n\nDuring the season, Briatore's Benetton team came under allegations of cheating, resulting in fines and a two-race ban for Schumacher.\n\nLate in , Briatore purchased the ailing Ligier team thereby acquiring its Renault engine supply. He passed operational management of Ligier to Tom Walkinshaw and took on complete management of Benetton. When Schumacher and a number of key technical staffers departed for Ferrari in , the Benetton team slipped to the middle of the grid.\n\nBriatore purchased a share of the Minardi team in , but after failing to sell it to British American Tobacco as he had hoped, he sold out to fellow owners Giancarlo Minardi and Gabriele Rumi. In , Benetton replaced Briatore with David Richards.\n\nFrom to , he led the company Supertec, supplying Mecachrome-built Renault engines to Williams and BAR in 1999, Arrows in 2000, and under the brand name \"Playlife\" for Benetton in both 1999 and 2000.\n\nRenault F1\n\nIn 2000, Renault announced its plans to return to Formula One with the purchase of the Benetton Formula team. Briatore returned as managing director and team principal, replacing Rocco Benetton. The team raced as Benetton-Renault in 2001 before becoming Renault F1 in 2002.\n\nBriatore has a reputation as a talent-scout and probably his greatest 'find' has been Fernando Alonso. Briatore met with the teenage Spaniard in 1999. As his manager, Briatore secured him a race drive with Minardi in 2001 and promoted him to test-driver for Renault in 2002.\n\nIn 2003, Briatore fired race-driver Jenson Button and replaced him with Alonso. When he replaced Button the outcry was huge but Briatore stated, \"time will tell if I am wrong\".\n\nWith Alonso, Renault won both the driver's and constructor's championships in 2005 and 2006. However, Alonso turned his back on Briatore to sign for rivals McLaren for 2007.\n\nBriatore also acted as manager for Mark Webber, Jarno Trulli, Nelson Piquet Jr. and Heikki Kovalainen. Despite winning the 2004 Monaco Grand Prix, Trulli was dropped from Renault by Briatore and replaced by Giancarlo Fisichella.\n\nIn April 2006, Renault F1's new president Alain Dassas stated that having a contract with Briatore for 2007 was 'a key factor' in securing the company's commitment to the sport, \"and we will do everything to ensure Flavio stays\". Briatore was duly confirmed on 6 September 2006 as staying at Renault for the 2007 and 2008 seasons.\n\nBriatore replaced Alonso with Kovalainen for 2007, saying \"with Kovalainen, I hope to find the anti-Alonso\".\n\nAllegations were made during November 2007 by the FIA against the Renault F1 team regarding information they were found to have in their possession concerning the 2006 and 2007 McLaren F1 cars. These allegations were the subject of an FIA investigation, with an FIA hearing taking place on 6 December 2007. Renault were found guilty of breaching the same regulation as McLaren (see F1 espionage scandal), but were not punished. Despite this guilty verdict, Briatore hit back at McLaren's Ron Dennis, saying \"here is a team that acquired an advantage illegally. Just read the regulations: for intellectual property theft the punishment is exclusion... Ron Dennis… was the one who protested us on the mass damper. He is not the immaculate saint he pretends to be on his statements\".\n\nIn August 2009, Briatore was heavily criticised by Nelson Piquet Jr., the son of three-time F1 champion Nelson Piquet, after Piquet Jr. was removed from the Renault team. On his personal website, Piquet Jr. called Briatore his \"executioner\". In an interview with Autosport magazine, Piquet Jr. said that Briatore \"is ignorant about Formula 1\". Piquet Jr. criticised Briatore for his ego and for his poor sense of race tactics.\n\nDeparture\n\nBriatore resigned as team principal of Renault due to a race fixing scandal. The controversy centred on an early crash involving Nelson Piquet Jr.'s car during the 2008 Singapore Grand Prix of 28 September 2008, when he was still driving for Renault. At the time, Piquet Jr. described the crash as a simple mistake; however, shortly after his acrimonious departure from Renault and criticism of Briatore nearly a year later in August 2009, allegations surfaced that he had deliberately crashed to help Renault teammate Fernando Alonso, who went on to win the race. After a Fédération Internationale de l'Automobile (FIA) investigation, on 4 September 2009 Renault were charged with conspiracy and race fixing, and were due to face the FIA World Motor Sport Council in Paris on 21 September 2009. In return for immunity from punishment, Piquet Jr. had reportedly stated to the FIA that he had been asked to crash by Briatore and Renault chief engineer Pat Symonds. On 11 September, following leaks of Piquet Jr.'s evidence, Renault and Briatore stated they would take legal action against Piquet Jr. for making false allegations. However, five days later, Renault announced they would not contest the charges and that Briatore and Symonds had left the team. The day after the Renault announcement, Renault confirmed Briatore had resigned from the team, while Briatore himself stated of his departure that \"I was just trying to save the team\", \"It's my duty. That's the reason I've finished.\" The team issued the following official statement:\n\nAt the same hearing, the FIA banned Briatore from FIA-sanctioned events indefinitely. The FIA also stated that it would not renew any superlicence granted to Briatore-managed drivers, effectively barring him from managing drivers who participate in any competition that is under the FIA's authority. The FIA stated that it was coming down hard on Briatore because he denied his involvement despite overwhelming evidence and that Renault's actions were serious enough to merit being thrown out of F1. However, since Renault took swift action by forcing Briatore and Symonds to resign once the affair came to light, the FIA effectively placed the team on two years' probation. If Renault committed a comparable offence between 2009 and 2011, it was to be indefinitely banned from F1. British newspaper The Daily Mirror described the ban as the harshest sanction ever imposed on an individual in the history of motorsport.\n\nBriatore later said he was \"distraught\" at the FIA's action and sued the FIA in French courts to clear his name. On 5 January 2010, the Tribunal de Grande Instance overturned the ban and granted him €15,000 in compensation. The tribunal declared in particular that \"the decision of the World Council was presided over by the FIA president, who was well known to be in conflict with Briatore, with Mr Mosley having played a leading role in launching the inquiry and its investigation in violation of the principle of separation of the power of the bodies\". The FIA announced that it would appeal the decision issued by the French court, but the two parties reached an out-of-court settlement the following April.\n\nIn an interview with Gazzetta dello Sport, Briatore said that he is sure that he will not return to Formula One, despite having his ban overturned.\n\nStance on the future of F1\nBriatore has always spoken out about his desires to see F1 provide better entertainment. In 1994, he said: \"All the team owners are orientated towards the technical side rather than the entertainment side, and this is a big fault. Every meeting that I go to, people are talking about pistons and suspensions. Nobody goes to a race to see that kind of thing… People come to see Schumacher and Senna racing each other.\"\n\nTwelve years later his feelings were much the same: \"The people in charge should be businessmen, as they are in Hollywood, not ex-engineers. Nothing costs more, and delivers less entertainment, than hidden technology. And that’s what engineers love most of all.\"\n\nIn 2007, he even went so far as to suggest that Grands Prix be split into two separate races as in the GP2 series.\n\nOn 20 March 2014 he said it was wrong to let the car manufacturers succeed in their push for the all-new regulations, featuring 'greener' engines that use less fuel. \"They delegated the writing of rules to engineers who do not care about the fans or entertainment, If Formula One does not change again in the near future, then the audience will be lost. Look at the comments on the internet, in blogs, on Twitter – they did not like the Australian Grand Prix. It was an indecipherable and depressing show. This is unacceptable and now we have chaos\" said Briatore.\n\nOn 12 June 2014 he said: \"I do not like this new Formula One. It's not our Formula 1.\" \"He pointed a finger at cars that \"do not make a noise\", drivers having to \"save fuel\" and \"fake overtaking\". He added: \"It is no longer a sport of gladiators, it is a sport of accountants.\"\n\nBusiness interests\nBriatore has developed a diverse portfolio of business interests outside Formula 1, many of which revolve around fashion.\n\nHe created the brand in 1998 and owns a club in Sardinia; in August 2012, he opened another Billionaire club in Marbella under that name along with an haute couture line, Billionaire Italian Couture. In addition to that, he opened Cipriani's restaurant in Mayfair, London, in 2004 and until 2007 owned 48.9% of the pharmaceuticals company . He also operates a Tuscan beach club and Lion in the Sun, a holiday resort in Kenya.\n\nBriatore is a beneficiary of Autumn Sailing Ltd, which purchased the super yacht Force Blue from Home Shopping Network investor Roy Speer for £68.2m. She was given a refitted interior designed by Celeste dell'Anna and a blue exterior. The yacht was then chartered by a number of individuals including Briatore, who named it as the most extravagant present he had ever bought himself. In 2010, the yacht was seized by officers investigating a tax fraud over its charter status and VAT on fuel. The Italian Supreme Court ruled that there were no issues with the seizure, though the yacht itself was released\n\nQueens Park Rangers Football Club\nIn 2007 Briatore was linked to a takeover of English Championship football club Queens Park Rangers (QPR) from a Monaco-based consortium led by Gianni Paladini. On 1 September 2007 it was officially announced that Briatore (along with Bernie Ecclestone and Lakshmi Mittal) had bought the club. On 7 November 2007, Briatore completed his takeover of QPR together with Ecclestone. He served as the club's chairman.\n\nIn December 2007, Briatore and Ecclestone were joined as co-owners of QPR by multi-billionaire Lakshmi Mittal, who bought 20% of the club.\n\nFollowing Briatore's ban from FIA, the Football League requested that FIA provide details of its investigation. The Football League could force Briatore out of QPR under rules that stipulate a club owner must be a \"fit and proper person\". The Football League also has the power to ban owners who have been banned from another sporting organisation. The Football League board discussed the matter on 8 October 2009 and declared that they would be awaiting a response from Briatore to various questions before commenting further. It was announced that he had stepped down from the post effective 19 February 2010.\n\nWhen interviewed about the QPR experience at an Italian chat show he stated \"I will never invest in a Football Club again, it's only ever a good idea if you're very rich and looking for ways to waste your money. In two years you'll be very poor and won't have that problem anymore\"\n\nPersonal life \nIn 1998, he became engaged to supermodel Naomi Campbell; they were involved in an on-again-off-again relationship until their separation in 2003. Campbell now considers Briatore her \"mentor\".\n\nIn March 2003, Briatore began dating supermodel Heidi Klum. In December she announced her pregnancy. Soon after, the two split and Klum began dating the musician Seal. Klum gave birth to Leni Klum in May 2004 in New York City. According to Klum, Briatore is not involved in Leni's life; she has stated emphatically that \"Seal is Leni's father\". In 2009, Briatore allowed Seal to adopt his daughter and change her name.\n\nBriatore married the 'Wonderbra' model Elisabetta Gregoraci on 14 June 2008. Gregoraci gave birth to their son in Nice, France in 2010.\n\nIn 2019 Briatore founded the political party Movimento del Fare.\n\nOn 25 August 2020, Briatore was hospitalized after testing positive for COVID-19.\n\nSee also\n The Apprentice (Italian TV series)\n\nReferences\n\nExternal links \n\n \n\n1950 births\nLiving people\nFormula One team owners\nFormula One team principals\nPeople from Verzuolo\nQueens Park Rangers F.C. directors and chairmen\nRenault people\nItalian fraudsters\nFugitives wanted on fraud charges\nItalian expatriates in the United Kingdom\nItalian emigrants to the United Kingdom\nItalian sports agents\nItalian motorsport people\nMotorsport agents\nBenetton Formula\nPeople named in the Pandora Papers",

"Il Capo dei Capi (The Boss of the Bosses) is a six-part Italian miniseries which debuted on Canale 5 between October and November 2007. It tells the story of Salvatore Riina, alias Totò u Curtu (Totò the Short), a mafioso boss from Corleone, Sicily. Riina is played by Palermo-born actor, Claudio Gioè, and the series was directed by Alexis Sweet and Enzo Monteleone. The series is inspired from the eponymous book-inquiry of and Attilio Bolzoni. It was broadcast in the UK in the spring of 2013 on the Sky Arts channel, retitled Corleone and split into 12 one-hour episodes.\n\nPlot\n\nFirst episode (1943–1958)\nPalermo, 15 January 1993. Cosa Nostra 'superboss' Salvatore Riina has been arrested after 23 years, and receives a visit in prison from his childhood friend, Biagio Schirò, triggering a flashback. In 1943, as a 13 years old boy, Riina is working in the fields around the town of Corleone when he finds a buried bomb. His father decides to take the bomb home because he wants to extract the gunpowder from inside to sell it to hunters in order to supplement his very low farm labourer's income. The bomb explodes, killing Riina's father and younger brother, Ciccio, and leaving Salvatore as the head of the family to lead a life of misery.\n\nTired of living in poverty, Totò, together with his friends Bernardo Provenzano (aka Binnu), Calogero Bagarella (Calò) and Biagio Schirò, begins to work for Luciano Liggio, Picciotto of the boss Michele Navarra, who meanwhile orders the kidnapping and murder of Placido Rizzotto. Soon after, Totò gets into a murderous fight with Menico, the son of a miller to whom he sells his grain, and ends up in prison; meanwhile Schirò's change of heart takes him back to school. Six years later, Totò, an adult by now, is freed. Waiting outside the prison gates are Provenzano, Bagarella and a new member of the gang, Luciano Maino.\n\nRiina soon picks up where he left off in Liggio's gang: intent on more power and infamy, the gang murder the capo Michele Navarra and plan to expand towards Palermo. Schirò, meanwhile, has become a police officer and is working with commissioner Angelo Mangano on Liggio and his gang. Totò meets the studious younger sister of Calogero Bagarella, Ninetta, and falls in love. It soon emerges that Ninetta is a close friend of Teresa, who in turn is dating Biagio Schirò.\n\nSecond episode (1963–1969)\nThe full Corleonesi Clan (Luciano Liggio, Totò Riina, Bernardo Provenzano, Calogero Bagarella and Luciano Maino) prepare to go to Palermo for a 'business conversation' with Salvatore La Barbera and Vito Ciancimino. As soon as they arrive, they begin straight away to demand respect: first killing a butcher who is late in paying for a load of clandestine meat, then killing an accountant who had paid protection to the wrong family. One evening, while the Corleonesi are in a night club (where Maino meets a girl, Maria Nigro) Salvatore La Barbera is kidnapped and killed by Michele Cavataio. All the other mafiosi in La Barbera's clan flee from Palermo.\n\nBack in Corleone, Totò's relationship with Ninetta Bagarella strengthens. Biagio discovers from Teresa that word has it that Riina will be at Ninetta's one evening, and organizes a search. Nevertheless, Totò manages to hide both himself and his friend Calogero, and neither are caught. Totò promises to Ninetta not to enact revenge on Teresa for the betrayal, but she tells him that she had already decided to break all links to her friend, rather to continue her relationship in secret with him.\n\nOn 30 June 1963, in the Ciaculli quarter of Palermo, a police officer notices a parked Alfa Giulietta. Unaware that the car is packed with explosives, an officer opens the boot which triggers the bomb inside which kills seven people. This leads to many arrests, with many other mafiosi, including the Corleonesi, going into hiding. Maino refuses to do so, preferring to stay in Palermo with his girlfriend. While fleeing from Corleone, Totò and Calogero are stopped by a police patrol. Calogero manages to escape but Totò is arrested; he attempts to provide forged identity documents but these fail when he is recognized by Biagio.\n\nA few days later, Biagio tells Teresa (who has just graduated) that Riina has been caught, and that the two can marry without threat. At the same time, an eavesdropping Ninetta (also recently graduated) overhears everything. Schirò goes to the parents of Teresa to ask her hand in marriage and, after an awkward conversation with her father, is given their blessing.\n\nMeanwhile, Maria, Maino's girlfriend, discovers his hidden life via the newspapers, and convinces him to go to the police. He tells Judge Cesare Terranova everything he knows about the Corleonesi. Shortly after, Luciano Liggio too is arrested by Commissario Mangano and Schirò, discovered hiding in the wardrobe of Leoluchina Sorisi, the ex-girlfriend of the murdered Placido Rizzotto.\n\nThe Bari trial begins, and Maino stands as witness, pointing directly Totò and his companions, and testifying to all of their murders. Despite this concrete proof, Liggio, Riina and the other convicts are released thanks to a lack of evidence - the jury had been threatened. A few days after the trial, Luciano Maino is found hanging at his home.\n\nThird episode (1969-1978)\nBiagio and Teresa have married, and have a baby (Antonio) at the beginning of the episode. Simultaneously Riina and his fellow mafiosi - Provenzano, Bagarella and two other men, soldiers of Tano Badalamenti, boss of Cinisi - enter the offices of Michele Cavataio dressed with uniforms of the Guardia di Finanza. The aim of the attack is to assassinate Michele Cavataio, who had earlier killed Salvatore La Barbera.\n\nOne of Badalamenti's henchmen, nervously lets his gun fire, killing two men and triggering a massacre - no longer under cover, they have to murder five others before reaching Cavataio. Following a spree of bullets, Cavataio feigns death until Totò and Calogero enter, when he turns and shoots, hitting and killing Bagarella. Enraged, Provenzano responds by beating Cavataio to death with the butt of his gun (Viale Lazio massacre).\n\nIn Corleone, Totò informs his own sister, and girlfriend of Calogero, Arcangela, of his friends death. He then calls on his Ninetta, Calogero's sister, calling her away from her teaching job and giving her the news; meanwhile Schirò requests a transfer to Palermo. Needing cash in order to make key investments in Palermo, Riina decides to kidnap the young lad, Antonio Caruso, from the town hall while visiting now mayor Vito Ciancimino. This triggers the disdain of the mafiosi of Palermo, in particular bosses Stefano Bontade and Giuseppe Di Cristina.\n\nOn 5 May 1971, Riina orders the homicide of District Attorney Pietro Scaglione, and during the ambush the police escort agent Antonio Lo Russo is also killed. Totò wishes to flee with Ninetta to Venice, and marry. Having not found the body of Bagarella, the police decide to search the home of Totò's sister, Arcangela, and find a photo of Ninetta and Totò in San Marco Square. Implicated, the police arrest Ninetta. During her trial, Vito Maranza, one of Riina's men, goes to Biagio's house and kidnaps Teresa and Antonio, holding them to ransom until Bagarella is released.\n\nLuciano Liggio is arrested in Milan by commissioner Mangano, as a consequence Riina becomes the main capo of the Corleonesi Clan, and is chosen by Don Michele Greco as his 'prediletto' (his favourite).\n\nTwo of Riina's soldati are ordered to kill Giuseppe Di Cristina but fail, killing instead his driver. Shadowing Di Cristina, they discover that he is collaborating with commissioner Boris Giuliano. Meanwhile, Totò and Ninetta get married.\n\nSome of the mafiosi - Pippo Calderone, Badalamenti and Di Cristina - begin to have problems with Totò, and their interaction becomes cold. At a successive meeting of the Commissione, Riina asks for their lives and is given permission to kill only Di Cristina, though he also kills Calderone.\n\nAt the end of the episode, Silvio Albertini, an honest colleague of Schirò, chances upon the hiding place of Riina, his wife and Provenzano. He immediately telephones Biagio from a phone box, and summons him to the location. As soon as he arrives, Schirò heads up to the apartment and finds Silvio's lifeless body on the floor. Suddenly, Riina's two soldati appear and beat Schirò. Riina emerges and warns his old friend to leave his family alone, especially Ninetta, before knocking him out cold.\n\nFourth episode (1979–1981)\n\nSchirò and Boris Giuliano with his men go to the Punta Raisi airport in Palermo to arrest French chemists who have come to Sicily to teach Francesco Marino Mannoia (Bontate's chemist) to cut the drug, and on the other hand a meeting between the biggest mafia bosses. As soon as the police arrive at the airport, Commissioner Giuliano receives a phone call in which he is told that it is not possible to stop the two Frenchmen for lack of evidence.\n\nPeppe (who has an ill brother), Bontate's capodecina, accompanies Totò at home and receives the money to treat his brother in America.\n\nMeanwhile, Totò and Ninetta have two children (Concetta and Giovanni) and they are waiting for the third one. Giuliano found the refinery of Corleone, Schirò found the one of Bontade. Back to the police station Giuliano got a phone call telling him that he'll die soon.\n\nAt the airport is found a suitcase full of money, addressed to Bontade, who at this point calls his friends in Rome to complain that Giuliano is going too far and they must stop him, otherwise, he will.\n\nBoris Giuliano sends his family on holiday promising to reach them the week after but a few days later he's killed by Leoluca Bagarella (Luchino) and Pino Greco (Scarpuzzedda). Meanwhile, Ninetta begins to feel pain, she's brought to the hospital but it's just a false alarm.\n\nSomeone in the city spits bad drugs. Totò Riina discovers who is responsible: it's a certain Tanino, right hand of Salvatore Inzerillo, to whom Tanino takes away the drug he resells. Totò manages to blackmail the bad dealer.\n\nIn the best clinic of Palermo Ninetta has given birth to her third son Giuseppe and meanwhile Teresa finds out she's pregnant. At Giuliano's funeral, Schirò (left watching it on TV) is unaware of the state of his wife and he has an argument with her, Teresa loses the child and decides to leave Sicily for Rome. \nAfter a while she's reached by her husband.\n\nAfter a speech with Schirò, judge Gaetano Costa signs the arrest warrants for all the bosses of Palermo and he's subsequently killed by the Bontate family. Meanwhile, Cesare Terranova is sent to Palermo where he's killed by Totò. When the Palermo bosses come to know, they decide to eliminate 'u Curtu. Totò changed home (since the one where he lived was owned by Stefano Bontade): all the Palermitans are now against him.\n\nWith the help of Tanino and Peppe, Riina manages to escape all the attacks against him and Stefano Bontate, Salvatore Inzerillo and their families are killed by Mario Prestifilippo and \"Scarpuzzedda\". The Second Mafia War produces many deaths so John Gambino, the biggest American boss, arrives in Palermo to try to stop the murders. Riina assures and convinces him that the war is over and no other men of honor will be killed.\n\nFifth episode (1982-1987)\nThe fifth episode begins with Pio La Torre, regional secretary of the Italian Communist Party, which on one hand is a debate in Corleone to prevent the construction of a Cruise missiles base in Comiso and the other side with the full Commission. In the commission there is a certain Apuzzo, a dear friend of Tommaso Buscetta pretending to be loyal to Totò Riina.\n\nThe Mangano Commissioner, now retired, advised the magistrates in Palermo (who want to fight the Mafia at all costs) Schirò as wildcard to find all the large and back to Corleone to tell Schirò to go to Palermo to work with Giovanni Falcone, Paolo Borsellino and Rocco Chinnici.\n\nWhile Toto plays with her son Giovanni, Ninetta is pregnant again and is concerned for the ideas of her husband. Toto then decides to call a few of his soldiers and ordered the murder of Pio La Torre along his bodyguard Rosario Di Salvo.\n\nCarlo Alberto Dalla Chiesa was sent to Palermo. The first action of General Dalla Chiesa is to send his men to search the collector of Ignazio Salvo, powerful man colluded with the Mafia. Shortly after General Dalla Chiesa was killed by \"soldiers\" Riina and Nitto Santapaola. Also Rocco Chinnici is murdered.\n\nMeanwhile, Apuzzo travels to Brazil for Tommaso Buscetta, but Toto becomes aware and kills Apuzzo and many of Buscetta's relatives. Tommasino was arrested for heroin trafficking. In the Brazilian prison he is tortured, but did not speak. He is transferred to Italy and started working with Giovanni Falcone. Tomamasino explains the structure of Cosa Nostra, among other things. After questioning Buscetta, hundreds of people are arrested, Vito Ciancimino among them.\n\nOn July 28, 1985, the commissioner Giuseppe Montana, who was investigating victims of the Second Mafia War with Biagio, was assassinated. A young man is wrongly accused of the murder. Brought to the police station, Giacalone (police constable) is carried away by violence and kills the boy. Then, Ninni Cassarà informs Falcone, who opens an investigation. Meanwhile, Teresa and Antonio (wife and son of Schiro), who were in Rome, return to Palermo.\n\nOn 6 August 1985 Ninni Cassarà was killed by Pino Greco \"Scarpuzzedda\", before the eyes of his wife and daughter. Meanwhile, in the security jailhouse of Asinara, (in Sardinia), Falcone and Borsellino begin preparing for the Maxi Trial. At the end of the process, Riina and Provenzano were sentenced in absentia while Michele Greco, Luciano Leggio, and many others, present in the courtroom, are also sentenced to life imprisonment.\n\nThe episode ends with a shootout where we find on the one hand Schirò and on the other Vito Maranza and Leoluca Bagarella. The outcome of the shooting is a dead Vito Maranza and a seriously injured (Biagio Schirò).\n\nSixth episode (1988-1993)\nBiagio Schirò is seriously injured due to the shooting with Leoluca Bagarella and Vito Maranza. He is taken to the hospital and fortunately he is saved, but remains lame in one leg. Totò Riina is nervous because he has been sentenced to life in prison. Ignazio Salvo reassures Toto by telling him that the sentence will be changed in the Court of Cassation. Totò orders Luchino to follow Ignazio Salvo.\n\nFor the title of head of the education office in Palermo there are two candidates: Giovanni Falcone and Antonino Meli. Falcone's appointment seems obvious but the role is instead entrusted to Meli. Riina orders the murder of Falcone to Pino Scarpuzzedda and Luchino. Pino organizes an attack on the judge's house at the sea in Addaura, near Mondello, but fails. In the following days Scarpuzzedda, now become quite powerful, with his swaggering air, performs two robberies in the area of the boss Pietro Aglieri, one in a jewelry store and the other at Banco di Sicilia. U Curtu had him strangled by his own colleagues (Antonino Madonia, Filippo Marchese, Antonino Marchese, Pino Marchese, Gaetano Carollo, Giuseppe Lucchese and Giuseppe Giacomo Gambino), with whom he carried out the bank robbery and the failed attack on Falcone.\n\nFalcone is transferred to Rome. Ninuzzo Schirò decides to follow in his father's footsteps, also becoming a policeman. The revision of the Maxiprocesso sentence does not even take place in the Court of Cassation and Totò has Salvo Lima killed. A few days later Totò Riina and Giovanni Brusca meet to organize the attack on Falcone. The judge, who went to Palermo, is killed with the TNT at the crossroads of Capaci on 23 May 1992, together with his wife Francesca Morvillo and the escort. About two months later Paolo Borsellino is also killed, while the negotiation was underway between deviated pieces of the institutions and the Cosa Nostra which Paolo Borsellino would surely have firmly opposed. Some soldiers of Totò, on his order, kill Ignazio Salvo. Meanwhile, Vito Ciancimino is contacted by the captain of the carabinieri Li Donni in an attempt to deal with the Corleonesi to end the massacres. Totò Riina decides to negotiate with the state and prepares a \"papello\" with all his requests.\n\nBinnu does not agree with the \"war on institutions\" that is leading Totò and for this reason he has a bitter discussion with him while they are having lunch with Ninetta and Luchino. One evening, while traveling in his car, Baldassare Di Maggio (Balduccio) is stopped and taken to prison. He too decides to become a collaborator of justice and has Totò arrested, revealing his hiding place in via Bernini, in Palermo.\n\nAfter the arrest of her husband, Ninetta and her children (Concetta, Giovanni, Giuseppe and Lucia) return to Corleone. At the home of Totò, Luchino, Binnu and Giovanni Brusca take all the documents that could still be compromising. The episode ends with a clarifying dialogue between Biagio and Totò.\n\nAudience\n\nTrivia\nThe miniseries was watched by Salvatore Riina whilst incarcerated and serving out his life sentence, raising some criticism on the coverage of the topic.\n\nReferences\n\nExternal links\n\n \n TaoDue Il Capo dei Capi\n\nItalian drama films\nWorks about the Sicilian Mafia\nR.T.I. - Mediaset\nFilms directed by Enzo Monteleone\nTelevision series about organized crime\nItalian crime television series\n2000s Italian drama television series\nTelevision shows set in Sicily",

"Joseph Arnold Weydemeyer (February 2, 1818 – August 26, 1866) was a military officer in the Kingdom of Prussia and the United States as well as a journalist, politician and Marxist revolutionary.\n\nAt first a supporter of \"true socialism\", Weydemeyer became in 1845–1846 a follower of Karl Marx and Friedrich Engels and a member of the League of Communists, heading its Frankfurt chapter from 1849 to 1851. He visited Marx in Brussels, staying there for a time to attend Marx's lectures. He participated in the 1848 Revolution. He was one of the \"responsible editors\" of the Neue Rheinische Zeitung from 1849 to 1850. He acted on Marx's behalf in the failed publication of the manuscript of The German Ideology.\n\nWeydemeyer worked on two socialist periodicals which were the Westphälisches Dampfboot (\"Westphalian Steamboat\") and the Neue Rheinische Zeitung. In 1851, he emigrated from Germany to the United States and worked there as a journalist. The Eighteenth Brumaire of Louis Napoleon, written by Marx, was published in 1852 in Die Revolution, a German-language monthly magazine in New York established by Weydemeyer. \n\nWeydemeyer took part in the American Civil War as a lieutenant colonel in the Union Army.\n\nBiography\n\nEarly Years \nBorn in 1818, the same year as Karl Marx, Weydemeyer was the son of a Prussian civil servant residing in Münster, Westphalia. Sent to a gymnasium and the Berlin military Academy, he received his commission as a Leutnant in the Prussian artillery (1. Westfälisches Feldartillerie-Regiment Nr. 7) in 1838. At the beginning of his short career, he was stationed in the Westphalian town of Minden. He began to read the bourgeois radical and socialist newspaper Rheinische Zeitung, the Cologne paper Marx became editor and which was suppressed by Prussian censorship in 1843. But it inspired many soldiers in the Rhineland and Westphalia. In the Minden garrison, the paper inspired revolutionaries like Fritz Anneke, August Willich, Hermann Korff, and Friedrich von Beust, all of whom, like Weydemeyer, will become prominent Forty-Eighters and after that officers of the Union army in the Civil War.\n\nThe leftist officers in Minden formed a circle in which Weydemeyer took part. He also went frequently to Cologne and took part to discussions of social problems with the journalists of the Rheinische Zeitung. In 1844, Weydemeyer resigned from the Prussian army. He then became assistant editor of the Trierische Zeitung, a paper which advocated the Phalansteries of Charles Fourier and the True Socialism of Karl Gruen. In 1845, he joined the Westphaelische Dampfboot after paying a visit to Marx, exiled in Paris. Marx, as well as Engels, were publishing in the Dampfboot. The paper was edited by Heinrich Otto Lüning in Bielefeld and Paderborn. Lüning's sister Luise became Weydemeyer's wife in 1845.\n\n1848\nAfter a second visit to Marx in Brussels in 1846, Weydemeyer went back to Germany to organize the Communist League in Cologne. This was the organization for which Marx and Engels wrote the Communist Manifesto in 1847. He continued to work on the Dampfboot. At the same time, he made a career as a construction engineer for the Cologne–Minden Railroad, but he quit the job soon after the beginning in 1848 because the company ordered its employees to stay out of political demonstration.\n\nDuring the rest of the year, he was a full-time revolutionary journalist. In June 1848, he was invited to Darmstadt by the socialist publisher C. W. Leske to be co-editor with Heinrich Otto Lüning of the Neue Deutsche Zeitung. Near to Frankfurt, where the German National Assembly was meeting at the time, the newspaper intended to be a link between the left-wing of the Assembly and the extra-parliamentary movement. But in 1849, the counter-revolution succeeded and the Prussian absolutism crushed the Frankfurt Parliament, the armed democracy in Baden and the Electorate of the Palatinate and all the democratic papers. Marx's Neue Rheinische Zeitung disappeared under the censorship and the Neue Deutsche Zeitung survived by moving from Darmstadt to Frankfurt in the spring of 1849. The paper would be finally banished in December 1850 by the senate of the city. Weydemeyer remained in the country for half a year, underground.\n\nIn July 1851, with his wife and two children, he went to Switzerland, where he did not find a job. On July 27, he wrote to Marx that he had no alternative than migrating to the United States. In his answer to Weydemeyer, Marx recommend New York City for his settlement, a place where Weydemeyer could have the chance to create a German-speaking revolutionary paper. At the same time, it was, for Marx, the city where the migrants were less likely to be touched by the Far West adventures. Marx also remarked that the United States would be a difficult country for the development of socialism, the surplus of population, being drained off by the farms and the fast-growing prosperity of the country, the Germans being easily Americanized and forgetting of their homeland. Weydemeyer and his family sailed from Le Havre on September 29, 1851, and arrived in New York on November 7.\n\nNew York\n\nA Marxist journalist\n\nIn December 1851, Weydemeyer issues a paper, named Die Revolution, a German-language revolutionary paper, which purpose was to make picture of the class struggle in the Old World. The paper first appeared on January 6 but was suspended on January 13. In a letter to Marx at the end of January, he attributed his failure because of the corrupting effect on the people of the American soil. He also pointed out the dominance of the liberal bourgeois-nationalist ideology on the people, among them Gottfried Kinkel and Lajos Kossuth. German immigrants were simply not sensitive to Marx ideas and analyses of the defeat of the 1848 revolutions and of the triumph of European reaction. In spring 1852, Weydemeyer brought out Marx's Eighteenth Brumaire of Louis Bonaparte as a final number of Die Revolution, after arranging for serial publication of Engels The Peasant War in Germany in the New York Turn-Zeitung between January 1852 and February 1853.\n\nHe began to write for the Turn-Zeitung about different political issues, as the American aversion of the proletarian dictatorship, the calling of liberal American groups for free election in Europe and their silence about the conditions of the workers, the political immaturity of forty-eighters who raised money in the United States to foment revolution in Europe. To sum up, he wrote many articles which counterposed Marxism to liberalism for the German immigrants. In the July number of Turn-Zeitung, he began a discussion of American labor issues and the free trade versus protection debate, where he took a traditional Marxist stand for the industrial development.\n\nIn the Turn-Zeitung of September 1, Weydemeyer analyzed the relationship between Australian cotton and American slavery. The development of American monopoly on the world market, in his point of view, promotes the rise of national economical development rather than regional and the rise of national parties in American politics rather than regional. He saw the shift from an agricultural dominance over the industrial to an industrial dominance over the former.\n\nIn the Turn-Zeitung of November 15, Weydemeyer wrote a review of the election campaign of 1852, pointing the absence of labor issues in the platforms of the Whig and Democratic parties. In December, in a two-part Political-Economic Survey, he attempted to project a platform for American labor. He stands for organizations of the workers on a large scale political as well as economical, and urged the workers to adopt internationalism.\n\nThe foundation of the American Workers League\n\nWith four of his friends, Weydemeyer formed a tiny organization, the first Marxist organization in the United States, formed in the summer of 1852. The group, called Proletarierbund, won the attention of German immigrants with the organization of a meeting on March 20, 1853, in New York, where eight hundred German Americans assembled in Mechanics Hall and founded the American Workers League.\n\nThis was an organization of mixed union and party functions, and presented a program of immediate issues for the working class and the socialist goal at the same time. The program was for immediate naturalization of all immigrants who wished to gain American citizenship, it favored federal, rather than state, labor legislation, stood for guaranteed payment of wages to workers whose employers went bankrupt, assumption by government of all costs of litigation with free choice of counsel, reducing the working day to ten hours, banning labor for children under sixteen, compulsory education with government maintenance for children whose families were too poor, against all Sunday and temperance laws, for the formation of tuition-colleges and for state acquisition of existing private colleges, for keeping the national lands on the frontier inalienable, etc. Beside the immediate demands, the League's platform stated some revolutionary principles. The preamble charged the capitalists of the everyday worse situation of the workers, the need of an independent political party for the workers, \"without respect to occupation, language, color or sex\", and the task of overthrowing the capital leadership with it as a way to solve social and political problems. It also leaned on the American Constitution of the Founding Fathers.\n\nThe American Workers League functioned for several years under a central committee made up of delegates from wards clubs and trade unions. Member of its committee, Weydemeyer tried to wide the influence of the League to non German Americans but the League served primarily as a German recreation and mutual aid society, in isolation from the English-speaking workers. When in the context of the Know-Nothing agitation, in 1855, the members began forming a secret military organization to defend themselves against nativist attacks, Weydemeyer withdrew from the League. He devoted himself to study the American Economy and to writing and lecturing of Marxists ideas.\n\nAmerican Civil War\nAs the country was moving toward a civil war, German Americans played an important part in the emergence of the Republican Party, so did Weydemeyer, who was one of the men who drew the German community toward the Republicans and the antislavery cause. Weydemeyer's stand for the Republicans was consistent with the influence of the most prominent labor radicals at the time, as Wilhelm Weitling. William Sylvis, leading native-born trade unionist, didn't engage in Republican politics, but showed approval for their platform in several commentaries published by Die Welt.\n\nThe Republican Party gained also influence through the free-soil movement. According to his Marxist opinion against the parceling out of government lands to small farmers, Weydemeyer denounced the Homestead Act agitation in 1854 as contrary to the interest of the workers and was in favor of large-scale agriculture. But in the 1860s, together with other German Republicans, he urged the party to campaign for \"immediate passage by Congress of a Homestead law by which the public lands of the Union may be secured for homesteads of the people, and secured from the greed of speculators.\" Weydemeyer's backing of the free-soil movement and shift of position about that issue wasn't a stand for the free-soil movement as a social progress (as Hermann Kriege endorsement in this movement in 1845), but a question of tactic. Weydemeyer's support of the free-soil movement at that moment signified his support for the antislavery cause, the main issue at the time in his point of view.\n\nShortly after dropping the American Workers League, Weydemeyer left New York and settled down in the Midwest, where he lived for four years, first in Milwaukee and then in Chicago, where he worked as a journalist and also as a surveyor. He tried to establish in Chicago, another independent German labor paper, and contributed to the Illinois Staats-Zeitung, a famous German Republican daily of the Midwest. He took part in the Deutsches Haus conference of German-American societies in Chicago in May 1860 to influence the Republican convention's platform and candidates. Back in New York at the end of 1860, he found a job as a surveyor of Central Park and became active in the election campaign for Abraham Lincoln. Eight months later, he was in the army.\n\nThanks to his background as a Prussian military officer and surveyor, he became a technical aide on the staff of General John C. Frémont, the commander of the department of the West. He superintended the erection of ten forts around St. Louis. After Frémont was removed from his command in November 1861, Weydemeyer was made a lieutenant colonel and given command of a Missouri volunteer artillery regiment which took the field against Confederate guerillas in southern Missouri in 1862. At the end of the year, he was hospitalized for a nervous disorder and transferred to garrison duty in St. Louis, which he left in September 1863.\n\nPolitically active in Missouri, Weydemeyer was facing two main issues: the extension of emancipation to Missouri and the prevention of a split between the Lincoln and Frémont faction of the Republican Party. Despite his own sympathy for the Frémont straight position, he tried to conciliate the factions and keep safe the victory in the 1864 election and in the war. In September 1864, Weydemeyer joined the army as colonel of the 41st Missouri Volunteer Infantry charged with the defense of St. Louis. While doing his military duty, he distributed copies of the Inaugural Address of the International Workingmen's Association, exchanged letters with Engels on military and political issues, contributed to local papers, as the Daily St Louis Press where he wrote an editorial greeting the founding of the First International. In July 1865, he demobilized his regiment and left the Army.\n\nAt the end of the war, he began to write regularly for the Westliche Post and the Neue Zeit, two St. Louis papers. He won the election as county auditor, holding his office from January 1, 1866 until his death. He worked for harsher tax laws and collecting unpaid taxes of men who used the war to become rich. The same day William S. Sylvis inaugurated the National Labor Union in Baltimore, Weydemeyer died of cholera in St. Louis, Missouri, at the age of 48.\n\nSee also \n The Eighteenth Brumaire of Louis Napoleon \n International Workingmen's Association in America \n Alexander Schimmelpfennig \n August Willich\n\nFootnotes\n\nExternal links\n\nJoseph Weydemeyer: Pioneer of American Socialism by Karl Obermann, 1947.\nMIA: Encyclopedia of Marxism: Glossary of People\nSocialism in German American Literature, Issue 24 William Frederic Kamman 1917\n Archive of Joseph Weydemeyer Papers at the International Institute of Social History\n\n1818 births\n1866 deaths\nMilitary personnel from Münster\nAmerican communists\nAmerican Marxists\nGerman-American Forty-Eighters\nGerman communists\nGerman Marxists\nGerman revolutionaries\nAmerican Marxist journalists\nMembers of the International Workingmen's Association\nPeople of the Revolutions of 1848\nUnion Army colonels\nAmerican people of German descent\n19th-century American journalists\nAmerican male journalists\n19th-century male writers",

"The Andy Warhol Diaries is an American documentary streaming television limited series from writer, director Andrew Rossi, and executive producer Ryan Murphy, based on the 1989 non-fiction book of the same name by Andy Warhol, as edited by Pat Hackett. The series features the famed pop artist narrating his own diary entries through the employment of AI (voiced by Bill Irwin then morphed using Resemble AI). The series premiered on Netflix on March 9, 2022, consisting of six episodes.\n\nAmong those who were interviewed in the course of the series are Bob Colacello, Pat Hackett, Christopher Makos, Rob Lowe, Jerry Hall, Mariel Hemingway, Tony Shafrazi, Mary Boone, Vincent Fremont, Shelly Dunn Fremont, Jamie Wyeth, Glenn Ligon, Larry Gagosian, José Carlos Diaz, David LaChapelle, Wilfredo Rosado, Peter Wise, Donna De Salvo, Jay Johnson, Kenny Scharf, Alan Wanzenberg, Michael Chow, Patrick Moore, John Waters, Greg Tate, Julian Schnabel, Marc Balet, Lee Quinones, Donald Warhola, Futura 2000, Daniela Morera, Debbie Harry, Paige Powell, John Reinhold, Gigi Williams, Jay Gould, Jeffrey Deitch, Jessica Beck, Cornelia Guest, Madelyn Kaye, Lisa Birnbach, Fab 5 Freddy, Benjamin Liu, Lucy Sante, Tama Janowitz, Katy Dobbs, Whit Stillman, and Jane Holzer.\n\nThe Andy Warhol Robot created by Warhol, with theatrical narratives by Peter Sellars and Lewis Allen, was also featured as the concept behind the AI voice in the series. Rossi shared with Entertainment Weekly that Warhol cultivated his image in the 1960s during his time at The Factory as an \"asexual robot.\" This led Rossi to create an AI voice for Warhol in the series from conversations between Warhol and his friend Pat Hackett, performed by actor Bill Irwin. Warhol was quoted as saying, \"Machines have less problems.\"\n\nSynopsis\nWarhol in 1976 via dictating entries on the phone commences to take stock of his life in great detail in a diary format. The series also follows his relationships with Paramount Communications executive Jon Gould, interior designer Jed Johnson, and fellow artist Jean-Michel Basquiat.\n\nEpisodes\n\nCritical reception\nOn Rotten Tomatoes, the series holds an approval rating of 96% based on 23 reviews, with an average rating of 8.2/10. The website's critics consensus reads, \"Employing some risky stylistic flourishes that Andy Warhol himself might have approved of, these Diaries are a revelatory glimpse into the inner life of a purposefully unknowable artist.\" On Metacritic, the series has a weighted average score of 78 out of 100, based on 7 critics, indicating \"generally favorable reviews\".\n\nJack Seale of The Guardian described the series as \"a startling biopic told with the artist's own words\". Daniel D'Addario of Variety wrote that \"the series both summons Warhol's affectless voice and insists on finding the intellect and emotion behind the coolly evaluating gaze\".\n\nAwards and nominations\n\nReferences\n\nExternal links\n \n \n\n2022 American television series debuts\n2022 American television series endings\n2020s American documentary television series\n2020s American LGBT-related television series\n2020s American television miniseries\nDocumentary television series about art\nEnglish-language Netflix original programming\nNetflix original documentary television series\nTelevision shows based on non-fiction books\nWorks by Ryan Murphy (filmmaker)\nDiaries",

"\"Rinaldo del Mel\"\nRinaldo del Mel Rinaldo del Mel (also René del Mel, del Melle) (probably 1554 – ) was a Franco-Flemish composer of the Renaissance, mainly active in Italy, and a member of the Roman School of composition. He likely studied with Palestrina, and was a skilled and prolific composer, especially of cyclic madrigals of the type popular in Rome.

"Rinaldo del Mel (also René del Mel, del Melle) (probably 1554 – ) was a Franco-Flemish composer of the Renaissance, mainly active in Italy, and a member of the Roman School of composition. He likely studied with Palestrina, and was a skilled and prolific composer, especially of cyclic madrigals of the type popular in Rome.\n\nLife\nMel was born in Mechelen to an aristocratic family closely connected to the Duchy of Lorraine; his father was in charge of the financial management of the Duke's estate. In 1562, at the probable age of eight, he began study at the Cathedral of St. Rombaut, with Séverin Cornet being his principal teacher. In 1572, after finishing his schooling, he was sent to Lisbon by his family, where he may have served as maestro di cappella at the court (according to Giuseppe Baini, the 19th century writer on music, who was not always a reliable source). By 1580 he was in Rome, possibly studying with Palestrina. Records indicate he was at Chieti in 1583, and in January 1584 in Venice; in July of that year he accepted a position as maestro di cappella at Rieti Cathedral, but was dismissed shortly thereafter for being too often absent from his duties.\n\nBetween 1585 and 1591 Mel traveled widely, returning to Flanders, including Liège and Antwerp. He served briefly as maestro di cappella for the Duke of Bavaria, then in Liège, for at least a few months beginning in July 1587. He visited Venice, Rome, Magliano Capo di Sabina, and Aquila during the years 1585 to 1591 as well. Between 1591 and 1597 he was music director at the cathedral and seminary in Magliano Capo di Sabina. He disappears from the record after 1597, but a book of newly composed chansons by him, published in Antwerp that year, has suggested that he may have again returned to the land of his birth.\n\nMusic\nAll of Rinaldo del Mel's surviving music is vocal, and it is both sacred and secular. He was a prolific composer, and wrote both motets and madrigals, as well as some forms that blended elements of the sacred and secular, such as a collection of \"spiritual canzonets\". His style shows the craftsmanship of an exceptional Netherlandish musical training, as well as the influence of Palestrina, who was probably his teacher, as claimed by Baini. Mel's sacred music, as would be expected of a composer of the Roman School, is more conservative stylistically than his secular music. Since his music is yet to appear in a modern edition it has not been fully evaluated by scholars.\n\nMel wrote several sets of cyclic madrigals, i.e. sets of madrigals which set successive stanzas of a long poem (Monteverdi's Sestina: Lagrime d'Amante al Sepolcro dell'Amata is probably the most famous example of a cyclic madrigal set). Setting cyclic madrigals was a hallmark of Roman School composers. Mel's settings show some progressive tendencies, such as an increasing melodic emphasis on the uppermost part, a feature which foreshadowed the polarization of soprano and bass parts that was a feature of the Baroque style several decades later. In addition, in his secular music he often employs harmonic progressions with root motions in fifths, another feature of the Baroque style to follow.\n\nAnother stylistic aspect of his madrigals is the prominent use of textural contrast, with chordal, syllabic passages alternating with passages in running thirds or sixths, or brief imitative sections. Long sections of purely contrapuntal writing are absent from his secular music, although, as in Palestrina, smooth counterpoint is the primary textural language of his sacred music.\n\nReferences and further reading\n \nGustave Reese, Music in the Renaissance.

"Denny DeMarchi (28 November 1962 – 15 May 2020) was a Canadian musician best known as a keyboardist and singer-songwriter. He was also a guitarist, backing vocalist, audio engineer and record producer. DeMarchi played with the Irish band the Cranberries during their reunion tour (2009–11), and also performed with Dolores O'Riordan as her keyboardist and guitarist during her solo world tour in 2007. He played the signature keyboard notes for the 1990 No. 1 Billboard hit song \"More Than Words Can Say\" by the band Alias, which features his brother, Steve on guitar.\n\nCareer\n\n1990s Alias\nIn the mid 80s, DeMarchi helped his brother Steve and their good friend Freddy Curci build the sound recording studio, Platinum Sound, out of the DeMarchi family basement where most of the songs on the Alias album were written and recorded. He was also involved with some of the production and engineering work for that album.\n\nDeMarchi was the keyboardist and backing vocalist for the 1990 No. 1 Billboard hit song More Than Words Can Say from the ALIAS album. He also co-wrote the last song in the Alias album, \"Standing in the Darkness\".\n\nDeMarchi played keyboard, bass and did some of the production and engineering work for the 1994 Freddy Curci Dreamer's Road album. He co-wrote and produced the song \"Diamonds\" in this album.\n\n2007–2008 Musician for Dolores O'Riordan's Solo Albums and World Tour\nDeMarchi and his older brother Steve are old friends of Don Burton, Dolores O'Riordan's husband. On a visit to Burton and O'Riordan's family home in Canada, DeMarchi played on O'Riordan's piano, DeMarchi's talent on the piano impressed O'Riordan so much that she decided to hire DeMarchi as her keyboardist for her solo project.\n\nDeMarchi was the keyboardist for Dolores O'Riordan's solo albums Are You Listening? and No Baggage. In 2007 he also toured with Dolores O'Riordan on her solo world tour. In May 2007, DeMarchi along with other band members, were featured with O'Riordan in live performances on the Carson Daly Show, The Tonight Show with Jay Leno, True Music on HDnet cable network TV, and on Heaven and Earth BBC Manchester.\n\nDolores O'Riordan won a European Border Breakers Award in 2008. DeMarchi supported O'Riordan on keyboard and as backing vocalist at the award ceremony at Midem 2008, Cannes, France – 27 Jan 2008.\n\n2009–2011 tour musician for the Cranberries\n\nDeMarchi toured with the Cranberries as their keyboard/guitar player and backing vocalist on their world tour, performing at major concert venues across the United States; Canada; South America; Europe and Asia. DeMarchi's performance in the Cranberries concert at Club Nokia in Los Angeles was mentioned in two separate L.A. Newspapers. The Orange County Register's Entertainment Section review of the Cranberries concert printed that \"Demarchi triggered the swelling orchestration and provided welcome background support all evening by bolstering the sound and enriching vocals.\" Variety reported that \"The Band, augmented by keyboardist-guitarist Denny DeMarchi from O'Riordan's recent solo disc No Baggage, brings sufficient energy to the set, the influence of the Smiths quite prevalent; oddly enough, the more racket they created, the more cohesive they sounded.\"\n\nDeMarchi was the opening act for the Cranberries On 5 July 2010 in Rome at the Roma Rock Festival, one of the premier events on the European summer music festival scene. DeMarchi opened the show with 8 songs from his own Rockizoid solo project.\n\nOn 28 August 2009. DeMarchi accompanied Dolores O'Riordan in a Live performance on CBC Radio in Toronto Ontario Canada. Dolores O'Riordan joined guest host Jesse Wente live in Studio Q to talk about her second solo album release, No Baggage, and the reunion of the Cranberries with plans for a world tour in mid November 2009. Dolores O'Riordan introduced DeMarchi on the radio show as her keyboarder. They performed the songs \"Linger\", \"It's You\" and \"Zombie\" between interviews with other guests on the show. One of the guests was Walter Koenig, who played Pavel Chekov from Star Trek.\n\n2012 Producing/engineering Killer Bee album\nAside from being an experienced multi-talented musician, DeMarchi has also shown a keen interest in audio engineering and music production projects. His latest engineering and collaborative production endeavors from his recording studio, Denny DeMarchi Studios, produced an album titled From Hell and Back by a Swedish/Canadian hard rock band Killer Bee. DeMarchi was also the keyboard and rhythm guitar player on this album, which was released by an English record label Z-Records on 22 October 2012.\n\nSolo Projects \nAs a prolific singer/songwriter, DeMarchi engaged in writing and recording his own music under the name Rockizoid (2007–2010) and under the band name HedRek which he formed in 2011. DeMarchi has written well over 200 songs in an ongoing personal musical pursuit. He has started recording work, whenever time permitted, on a small portion of his portfolio of songs and has released 10 tracks on his MySpace profile's music player.\n\nDeMarchi's music is explorative rock with a strong sense of groove and identifiable lyrics. \"A song should be able to stand on its own by singing and playing it on one instrument. If it feels good doing that, then it's worth recording\".\n\nIn July 2009, DeMarchi's song \"All Your Fault\", released in May 2009, entered the Fame Games Radio and within three weeks quickly advanced to the 233 Wednesday edition of the quarter-final Show, with ranking of Number 2 and 233 edition of the semi-final show, with ranking of Number 3 which were aired on radio nationwide in the United States on the Citadel Media (formerly the ABC radio) networks in mid August 2009.\n\nPersonal life \nDeMarchi was born in Toronto.

"Donald Christopher Barber (17 April 1930 – 2 March 2021) was an English jazz musician, best known as a bandleader and trombonist. He helped many musicians with their careers and had a UK top twenty trad jazz hit with \"Petite Fleur\" in 1959. These musicians included the blues singer Ottilie Patterson, who was at one time his wife, and Lonnie Donegan, whose appearances with Barber triggered the skiffle craze of the mid-1950s and who had his first transatlantic hit, \"Rock Island Line\", while with Barber's band. He provided an audience for Donegan and, later, Alexis Korner, and sponsored African-American blues musicians to visit Britain, making Barber a significant figure in launching the British rhythm and blues and \"beat boom\" of the 1960s.\n\nEarly life\nBarber was born in Welwyn Garden City, Hertfordshire, on 17 April 1930. \n\nHis father, Donald Barber, was an insurance statistician who a few years later became secretary of the Socialist League, while his mother was a headmistress. His parents were left-leaning, his father having been taught by John Maynard Keynes, while his mother became, in Barber's words, \"the only socialist mayor of Canterbury\". Barber started learning the violin when he was seven years old. He was educated at Hanley Castle Grammar School, near Malvern, Worcestershire, to the age of 15, and started to develop an interest in jazz. \n\nAfter the end of the war, he attended St Paul's School in London, and began visiting clubs to hear jazz groups. He then spent three years at the Guildhall School of Music, and started playing music with friends he met there, including Alexis Korner.\n\n1950s\nIn 1950, Barber formed the New Orleans Jazz Band, a non-professional group of up to eight musicians, including Korner on guitar and Barber on double bass, to play both trad jazz and blues tunes. He had trained as an actuary, but decided to leave his job in an insurance office in 1951, and the following year became a professional musician.\n\nBarber and clarinetist Monty Sunshine formed a band in late 1952, with trumpeter Pat Halcox among others, began playing in London clubs, and accepted an offer to play in Denmark in early 1953. Simultaneously, it was found that Halcox would be unable to travel but that Ken Colyer, who had been visiting New Orleans, was available. Colyer joined the band, which then took the name Ken Colyer's Jazzmen. The group also included Donegan, Jim Bray (bass), Ron Bowden (drums) and Barber on trombone. In April 1953 the band made its debut in Copenhagen, Denmark. \n\nThere Chris Albertson recorded several sides for the new Danish Storyville label, including some featuring only Sunshine (clarinet), Donegan (banjo) and Barber (bass) as the Monty Sunshine Trio. The bands played Dixieland jazz, and later ragtime, swing, blues and R&B. Pat Halcox returned on trumpet in 1954 when Colyer moved on after musical and personal differences with both Barber and Donegan, and the band became \"The Chris Barber Band\".\n\nThe band's first recording session in 1954 produced the LP New Orleans Joys, and included \"Rock Island Line\", performed by Donegan. When released as a single under Donegan's name, it became a hit, launching Donegan's solo career and the British skiffle boom. The Barber band recorded several In Concert LPs during the 1950s, regarded by critic Richie Unterberger as \"captur[ing] the early Barber band in its prime.... [T]here's a certain crispness and liveliness to both the acoustics and the performances that make this in some ways preferable to their rather starchier studio recordings of the same era.\"\n\nThe short documentary film Momma Don't Allow, made in 1956, features the Chris Barber Band live with the Irish blues singer Ottilie Patterson in a north London trad jazz club. It captures the emerging 'youth culture' of that period. Barber married Patterson in 1959.\n\nIn 1959, the band's October 1956 recording of Sidney Bechet's \"Petite Fleur\", a clarinet solo by Monty Sunshine with Dick Smith on bass, Ron Bowden on drums and Dick Bishop on guitar, spent twenty-four weeks in the UK Singles Charts, making it to No. 3 and selling over one million copies, and was awarded a gold disc. After 1959, Barber toured the United States several times (where \"Petite Fleur\" charted at No. 5).\n\n1960s\n\nIn the late 1950s and early 1960s, Barber was mainly responsible for arranging the first UK tours of blues artists Big Bill Broonzy, Sonny Terry and Brownie McGhee and Muddy Waters. This, with the encouragement of local enthusiasts such as Alexis Korner and John Mayall, sparked young musicians such as Peter Green, Eric Clapton and the Rolling Stones. British rhythm and blues powered the British invasion of the USA charts in the 1960s. \n\nIn January 1963, the British music magazine, NME reported the biggest trad jazz event in Britain at Alexandra Palace. It included George Melly, Diz Disley, Acker Bilk, Alex Welsh, Kenny Ball, Ken Colyer, Sunshine, Bob Wallis, Bruce Turner, Mick Mulligan and Barber.\n\nBarber stunned traditionalists in 1964 by introducing blues guitarist John Slaughter into the line up who (apart from a break between April 1978 and August 1986 when Roger Hill took over the spot) played in the band until shortly before his death in 2010. Barber next added a second clarinet/saxophone and this line-up continued until 2000.\n\nA recording of the Lennon–McCartney composition \"Catswalk\" can be heard, retitled \"Cat Call\", on The Songs Lennon and McCartney Gave Away. Written by Paul McCartney, the song was recorded in late July 1967 and released as a single in the UK on 20 October 1967. \n\nIn 1969, Barber signed up to the progressive Marmalade Records label and released the album Battersea Rain Dance, featuring both McCartney and Brian Auger. \nThroughout the 1960s The Chris Barber Band was very popular in Germany, including parts of communist eastern Europe. In 1968 they released the album Live in East Berlin.\n\nLater career\nWith guitarist Rory Gallagher, Barber and his band recorded the 1972 album Drat That Fratle Rat, described by Bob Stanley as an \"unlikely but terrific trad jazz/blues rock fusion album\". The band toured with the American clarinettist Russell Procope in 1976 and with Dr. John in 1981. Venturing into classical music, Barber commissioned and co-write a Concerto for Jazz Trombone in 1986 with Richard Hill, which was premiered behind the Berlin Wall at the Palast der Republik on 2 October 1986. He also recorded the album Under the Influence of Jazz with The London Gabrieli Brass Ensemble in 1991.\n\nIn 1998 Barber began to expand his band, partly so that he could play the music of the early Duke Ellington band, one of his favourites. He was joined by fellow trombonist/arranger Bob Hunt and added another clarinet/sax and trumpet. After his only 'Down Under Tour' of Australia and New Zealand in 2000 he permanently grew the band to 11 members, eventually renaming it The Big Chris Barber Band in 2001. This opened up the band to a broader range of music, although a spot was still reserved in the programme for the traditional six-man New Orleans line-up.\n\nBarber published his autobiography Jazz Me Blues in 2014, with co-author Alyn Shipton. He announced his decision to retire on 12 August 2019, after some 70 years of performing. The band continued under the musical direction of Bob Hunt. The line up of the Big Chris Barber Band in September 2019, which carried on with Barber's full support, was: Bob Hunt (trombone/arranger), Mike Henry and Gabriel Garrick (trumpets), Nick White, Trevor Whiting, and Ian Killoran (reeds), John Watson (drums), John Day (double bass), Joe Farler (banjo & guitar).\n\nBarber was awarded an OBE in 1991 for services to music. In June 2006 he received an honorary doctorate from Durham University, and in September 2013 he was awarded the \"Blues Louis\" for his services to popularizing the blues in Europe at the \"Lahnstein Blues Festival\" (Germany), where he is honored with the annual award. In 2014, he was honored for his life's work with the German Jazz Trophy.\n\nLong-term musical partnerships\n\nPat Halcox, trumpeter with the Chris Barber Band since 31 May 1954, retired after playing his last gig with the Big Chris Barber Band on 16 July 2008. Halcox and Barber were together in the band for 54 years – the longest continuous partnership in the history of jazz, exceeding even that of Duke Ellington and Harry Carney (48 years between 1926 and 1974). Tony Carter (reeds) also left the band at this time.\n\nJohn Crocker (reeds) retired from the band in 2003 after a 30-year stint. Vic Pitt (double bass) retired in January 2007 after 30 years with the band. His feature duet with the drummers of the day – \"Big Noise From Winnetka\" was not only a feature of the Barber concerts, but also his time with the Kenny Ball band immediately before.\n\nPersonal life\nBarber was married four times: to dancer and singer Naida Lane; to the blues singer and band member Ottilie Patterson (from 1959 until their divorce in 1983); to Renate Hilbich, with whom he had two children; and finally to Kate Gray, who survived him.\n\nAside from his musical life, Barber was a motor racing enthusiast. His first race was at Brands Hatch in 1957, driving a Lotus Mark IX. He also owned several vintage Lagondas. His close friends included Lotus founder Colin Chapman and Ken Tyrrell.\n\nHe died on 2 March 2021, aged 90, having suffered from dementia.\n\nSelect discography\n\nNew Orleans Joys Chris Barber Jazz Band, with Lonnie Donegan Skiffle Group, 1954\n Bestsellers: Chris Barber & Papa Bue's Viking Jazzband, 1954\n Original Copenhagen Concert, (live) 1954\n Chris Barber in Concert, (live) 1956\n Chris Barber Plays, Vol. 1, 1955\n Chris Barber Plays, Vol. 2, 1956\n Chris Barber Plays, Vol. 3, 1957\n Chris Barber Plays, Vol. 4, 1957\n Chris Barber in Concert, Vol. 2, (live) 1958\n \"Petite Fleur\", 1958\n Chris Barber American Jazz band, 1960\n In Budapest, 1962\n Louis Jordan Sings, 1962\n Live in East Berlin, 1968\n Chris Barber & Lonnie Donegan, 1973\n Golden Hour of Chris Barber and his jazz Band featuring Vocals by Ottilie Patterson and Clarinet by Monty Sunshine , 1974\n Echoes of Ellington, Vol. 1, 1976\n Echoes of Ellington, Vol. 2, 1976\n Echoes of Ellington, 1978\n Take Me Back to New Orleans, 1980\n Concert for the BBC, 1982\n Copulatin' Jazz: The Music of Preservation Hall, 1993\n Live at the BP Studienhaus, 1997\n Cornbread, Peas & Black Molasses, (live) 1999\n The Big Chris Barber Band with Special Guest Andy Fairweather Low: As We Like It, 2009\n Chris Barber's Jazz Band, Chris Barber 1957–58, 2009\n The Chris Barber Jazz & Blues Band, Barbican Blues, 2009\n The Big Chris Barber Band, Barber At Blenheim, 2009\n Chris Barber's Jazz Band with Sonny Terry & Brownie McGhee, Sonny, Brownie & Chris, 2009\n Chris Barber Memories Of My Trip, 2011\n The Big Chris Barber Band 2011 European Tour\n\nReferences\n\nExternal links\n\nOfficial website\nChris Barber Myspace\n\n[ Chris Barber @ Allmusic]\n \n \n as Chris Barber's Jazz Band\n \n\n \n1930 births\n2021 deaths\nBlack & Blue Records artists\nBlack Lion Records artists\nBritish male jazz musicians\nDixieland jazz musicians\nEnglish jazz bandleaders\nEnglish jazz trombonists\nMale trombonists\nMusicians from Hertfordshire\nOfficers of the Order of the British Empire\nPeople educated at St Paul's School, London\nPeople from Welwyn Garden City\nSkiffle musicians\nTimeless Records artists\n20th-century trombonists\n21st-century trombonists\n20th-century British musicians\n21st-century British musicians\n20th-century British male musicians\n21st-century British male musicians\nAlumni of the Guildhall School of Music and Drama\nSonet Records artists",
