LITERAL | PRODUCER | designer | The designer studied at the drawing School of Nîmes, before settling in Paris and opening in the French Capital his own successful design studio, which employed 200 designers. | The book showed images of Shawls woven in India and also 15 images of Shawls woven in United-Kingdom, amongst which one assigned to a Paisley Manufacture, circa 1850. | But according to Monique Lévi-Strauss, it resembles by many details a Shawl designed by a French designer named Antony Berrus, born in 1815 at Nîmes-France and died in 1883. | His textile drawings were sold to Lyon in France, in Scotland, in England, in Austria and also in Kashmir. | The fact that Shawls patterns drawings were made in Europe, sold there and also to India, made as a result the research work extremely difficult, as to give a precise location of manufacture. | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paisley%2C%20Renfrewshire | Paisley, Renfrewshire |

LITERAL | PRODUCER | designer | The director had been briefly stationed in the mailroom at the Pentagon early in his Korean war hitch, and stated that the sets were totally authentic, praising the production designer. | Frankenheimer remarked that she was a "lovely person" and overwhelmingly beautiful, but at times "difficult" to work with. | Martin Balsam objected to his habit of shooting off pistols behind him during important scenes. | Further providing authenticity, many of the scenes in the film were loosely based on real-life events of the Cold War. | In an early example of guerrilla filmmaking, Frankenheimer photographed Martin Balsam being ferried out to the supercarrier , berthed at Naval Air Station North Island in San Diego (standing in for Gibraltar), without prior Defense Department permission. | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Seven%20Days%20in%20May | Seven Days in May |
LITERAL | PRODUCER | director | The director praised Hopkins for "this extraordinary ability to make you believe when you hear him that it is the very first time he has ever said that line. | Whereas Hopkins preferred the spontaneity of a fresh take and liked to keep rehearsals to a minimum, Winger rehearsed continuously. | To allow for this, Attenborough stood in for Hopkins during Winger's rehearsals, only bringing him in for the last one before a take. | It's an incredible gift." | Renowned for his ability to remember lines, Hopkins keeps his memory supple by learning things by heart such as poetry and Shakespeare. | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anthony%20Hopkins | Anthony Hopkins |
LITERAL | PRODUCER | director | The director praises Williams in being able to work under such difficult conditions. | Delays in shooting meant that Williams was forced to start working on the score before the film was completed. | Szwarc discussed the film with the composer, showing him edited sequences and storyboards. | Critic Mike Beek suggests these time constraints enabled Williams "to create themes based on ideas and suggestions, rather than a locked down print." | Critics have praised Williams' score, comparing it favorably to the original. | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jaws%202 | Jaws 2 |

LITERAL | PRODUCER | novelist | The eccentric novelist and artist Frederick Rolfe studied at Oscott from 1887, but left after it was decided he was an unsuitable candidate for the priesthood. | He was a pivotal figure in the transition from Victorian to modern fiction, and a particular influence on James Joyce: the critic Graham Hough wrote that "neither the title nor the content of Joyce's Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man would have been quite the same in 1916 if it had not been for the prior existence ... | The Dead", the final story of Joyce's Dubliners, was directly inspired by Moore's 1891 novel Vain Fortune. | Despite his open homosexuality he strongly felt himself to have a vocation for the priesthood throughout his lifetime. | His most famous work was the decadent semi-autobiographical wish-fulfilment novel Hadrian the Seventh, published under his self-styled title Baron Corvo, in which he imagined himself as the Pope, but he also wrote short stories, poetry and essays. | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Literature%20of%20Birmingham | Literature of Birmingham |

LITERAL | PRODUCER | editor | The editor of First Things R. R. Reno critiques the encyclical, writing Laudato si makes "many fierce denunciations of the current global order." | Science and modernism "Science and religion, with their distinctive approaches to understanding reality, can enter into an intense dialogue fruitful for both," according to the pontiff. | Religions, including Christianity, can make "rich contributions ... towards an integral ecology and the full development of humanity," However, "the scientific and experimental method" itself can be part of the problem when it decouples creation from the Creator. | This global order "destroys the environment, oppresses the multitudes, and makes us blind to the beauty of creation." | According to Reno, the critiques of the scientific and technocratic present contained in the encyclical make this "perhaps the most anti-modern encyclical since the Syllabus of Errors, Pius IX's haughty 1864 dismissal of the conceits of the modern era." | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Laudato%20si%27 | Laudato si' |

LITERAL | PRODUCER | musician | The English musician Frederick Bridge interpreted this as implying that Hatton wrote some or all of the poems that Gibbons set to music in his Madrigals and Motets. | One of the Madrigals in the set was, The Silver Swan, often considered the most famous English madrigal. | Gibbons dedicated the entire set of works to Hatton: "[The songs] were most of them composed in your owne [sic] house, and doe therefore properly belong unto you, as Lord of the Soile; the language they speake you provided them, I onely furnished them with Tongues to utter the same name". | Additionally, the musicologist Edmund Fellowes noted that it is unlikely Gibbons was an actual resident of Hatton's household, although their friendship suggests that Hatton may have set a room aside for him to compose. | The death of King James's son, Prince Henry Frederick, was a considerable shock to the English, as many considered him a promising heir to the Kingdom. | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Orlando%20Gibbons | Orlando Gibbons |
LITERAL | PRODUCER | novelist | The English novelist George Gissing read the former in November 1896 and wrote that he "thoroughly dislike[d it]". | Following that success, he published Better Dead (1888) privately and at his own expense, but it failed to sell. | His two "Tommy" novels, Sentimental Tommy (1896) and Tommy and Grizel (1900), were about a boy and young man who clings to childish fantasy, with an unhappy ending. | Meanwhile, Barrie's attention turned increasingly to works for the theatre, beginning with a biography of Richard Savage, written by Barrie and H.

" | The Ravens" is another song inspired by the poem, although its main theme is terrorism. | A song based on "The Raven" appears on the Grave Digger album The Grave Digger (2003), alongside other songs based on the work of Edgar Allan Poe. | Blues Traveler's 1995 hit "Run-Around" opens with an allusion to the opening line of "The Raven": "Once upon a midnight dreary". | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Allusions%20to%20Poe%27s%20%22The%20Raven%22 | Allusions to Poe's "The Raven" |
LITERAL | PRODUCER | poet | The great poet Alexander Pushkin was questioned by authorities in 1824 in part because he had befriended certain Decembrists. | Despite this, school attendance and literacy in Russia continued to increase and there began to form a rising middle class that was cosmopolitan in its outlook and connected with European culture and ideas. | State censorship barred direct political dissent and the police were prone to harass even writers who did not involve themselves in politics. | Eventually, despite some mistrust from the police, Pushkin was allowed to publish his works until he met an untimely end in 1837 after fighting a duel. | The writers Mikhail Lermontov and Nikolai Gogol were also viewed with suspicion. | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History%20of%20Russia%20%281796%E2%80%931855%29 | History of Russia (1796–1855) |
LITERAL | PRODUCER | composer | The Greek composer Iannis Xenakis was referred to him in 1951; Messiaen urged Xenakis to take advantage of his background in mathematics and architecture in his music. | Among his early students were the composers Pierre Boulez and Karel Goeyvaerts. | Other pupils included Karlheinz Stockhausen in 1952, Alexander Goehr in 1956–57, Tristan Murail in 1967–72 and George Benjamin during the late 1970s. | In 1943, Messiaen wrote Visions de l'Amen ("Visions of the Amen") for two pianos for Yvonne Loriod and himself to perform. | Shortly thereafter he composed the enormous solo piano cycle Vingt regards sur l'enfant-Jésus ("Twenty gazes upon the child Jesus") for her. | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Olivier%20Messiaen | Olivier Messiaen |
LITERAL | PRODUCER | poet | The group also comprised poet and future far-right politician Nichifor Crainic, who blended Symbolism and Rilkean verse into radical traditionalism. | From censorship to Neosymbolism The 1920s and '30s witnessed a transition of various formerly Symbolist authors toward folkloric traditionalism. | This was in particular the case of Maniu (who did not entirely abandon his modernist language, but fused it into a new style) and Ion Pillat, both of whom gravitated around the neo-traditionalist publication Gândirea. | N. Davidescu's rejection of his own Symbolist roots, making him an advocate of didactic poetry and the author of nostalgic prose, came together with political radicalization. | Like Nae Ionescu and Crainic, Davidescu became a far-right affiliate, and eventually a supporter of fascism. | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Symbolist%20movement%20in%20Romania | Symbolist movement in Romania |
LITERAL | PRODUCER | singer | The guest artist must choose one mystery singer to question with. | As before, good singers must answer truthfully, while bad singers may lie. | The guest artist must pick one of three given "keywords" to question one of the mystery singers after detailing additional information about them. | The host is given a list of 15 questions shown on the screen and the artist can ask any of 15 questions within the 30 second time limit. | Confession round Each mystery singer has a story of what kind of identity they have if the singer is bad. | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/I%20Can%20See%20Your%20Voice | I Can See Your Voice |
LITERAL | PRODUCER | scientist | The Hawaii Five-O episode "Three Dead Cows at Makapu, Part 2" featured a scientist played by Ed Flanders who threatened to unleash a deadly virus on the island of Oahu. | The issues were released in 2003 and were written by Mike Carey and illustrated by Doug Alexander Gregory. | An episode of the British wartime TV series Foyle's War entitled "Bad Blood" involved biological testing – a strong reference to the Gruinard testing. | When being interrogated, the scientist briefly mentions Gruinard Island and how it will be uninhabitable for a century due to anthrax experiments. | Outlying Islands, a Fringe First winning play by Scottish dramatist David Greig, is a fictionalised account of two British scientists' visit to an island in Scotland where the government plans to test anthrax inspired by the story of Gruinard. | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gruinard%20Island | Gruinard Island |
LITERAL | PRODUCER | historian | The historian also highlights Lenin's own commentary on the news: "Please add my vote to those who are in favor of receiving food and weapons from the Anglo–French imperialist robbers." | According to Ulam, such notions reveal Sadoul as "one of the world's greatest optimists: how could a few Allied military specialists reorganize an army that did not exist?" | Ulam describes Sadoul as "rather foolish", and sees his reading of the temporary Franco–Russian alliance as "idiotic". | Scholar Jean Delmas notes that the Bolshevik pledge to the Entente "rested solely on the personality of Trotsky": "even Sadoul acknowledged that Lenin wrote off any military adventure." | According to researcher Dominique Lejeune, Niessel's offer of assistance was itself unconvincing, and mutual trust was sabotaged by the Japanese landings in the Russian Far East. | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jacques%20Sadoul%20%28politician%29 | Jacques Sadoul (politician) |
LITERAL | PRODUCER | historian | The historian Callum G. Brown quotes the view that "church disestablishment was to Wales what home rule was to the Irish". | The historian Jeremy Morris calls it "probably the most significant single piece of legislation passed by Parliament for the Church of England in the twentieth century", and summarises its effects: Davidson failed to achieve his aims over Welsh disestablishment. | Unlike England, Wales had long been mainly nonconformist; the Anglican Church there was widely seen as that of the ruling elite, and its legal status as the official Church of the principality was strongly resented. | There had been pressure since the 1880s for disestablishment, and bills to bring it about had been unsuccessfully put to Parliament in 1894, 1895, 1911 and 1912. | Davidson was against disestablishment, but Parliament finally voted for it in 1914 and after considerable delay it came into effect in 1922. | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Randall%20Davidson | Randall Davidson |
LITERAL | PRODUCER | historian | The historian Chadwick interpreted these facts as proof that the so-called election of the king by the witan merely amounted to formal recognition of the deceased king's natural successor. | The witan was noted by contemporary sources as having the singular power to ceosan to cyninge, 'to choose the king' from amongst the (extended) royal family. | Nevertheless, at least until the 11th century, royal succession generally followed the "ordinary system of primogeniture." | But Liebermann was generally less willing than Chadwick to see the witan's significance as buried under the weight of the royal prerogative:The influence of the king, or at least of kingship, on the constitution of the assembly seems, therefore, to have been immense. | But on the other hand he (the king) was elected by the witan… He could not depose the prelates or ealdormen, who held their office for life, nor indeed the hereditary thanes… At any rate, the king had to get on with the highest statesmen appointed by his predecessor, though possibly disliked by him, until death made a ... | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Witan | Witan |
LITERAL | PRODUCER | historian | The historian Christopher Matthew mentions that the term Phalangarii has two possible meanings, both with military connotations. | He began openly mimicking Alexander in his personal style. | In planning his invasion of the Parthian Empire, Caracalla decided to arrange 16,000 of his men in Macedonian-style phalanxes, despite the Roman army having made the phalanx an obsolete tactical formation. | The first refers merely to the Roman battle line and does not specifically mean that the men were armed with pikes, and the second bears similarity to the 'Marian Mules' of the late Roman Republic who carried their equipment suspended from a long pole, which were in use until at least the 2nd century AD. | As a consequence, the Phalangarii of Legio II Parthica may not have been pikemen, but rather standard battle line troops or possibly Triarii. | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alexander%20the%20Great | Alexander the Great |
LITERAL | PRODUCER | historian | The historian Jadunath Sarkar assessed that Shivaji owned some 240–280 forts at the time of his death. | He also rebuilt or repaired many forts in advantageous locations. | In addition, Shivaji built a number of forts; the number "111" is reported in some accounts, but it is likely the actual number "did not exceed 18." | Each was placed under three officers of equal status, lest a single traitor be bribed or tempted to deliver it to the enemy. | The officers acted jointly and provided mutual checks and balance. | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shivaji | Shivaji |
LITERAL | PRODUCER | historian | The independent 1,200-page study researched and compiled by Bonn historian, Joachim Scholtyseck, that was released in 2011 concluded: "The Quandts were linked inseparably with the crimes of the Nazis". | The family's Nazi past was not well known, but the documentary film revealed this to a wide audience and confronted the Quandts about the use of slave labourers in the family's factories during World War II. | As a result, five days after the showing, four family members announced, on behalf of the entire Quandt family, their intention to fund a research project in which a historian will examine the family's activities during Adolf Hitler's dictatorship. | no compensation, apology or memorial at the site of one of their factories, have been permitted. | BMW was not implicated in the report. | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stefan%20Quandt | Stefan Quandt |

LITERAL | PRODUCER | scientist | The information scientist Osamu Sakura has published a book in Japanese and several papers in English on the topic. | With the addition of Dawkins's book to the country's consciousness, the term "meme" entered popular culture. | Yuzuru Tanaka of Hokkaido University wrote a book, Meme Media and Meme Market Architectures, while the psychologist Susan Blackmore wrote The Meme Machine (2000), with a foreword by Dawkins. | Nippon Animation produced an educational television program titled The Many Journeys of Meme. | In 1976, the ecologist Arthur Cain, one of Dawkins's tutors at Oxford in the 1960s, called it a "young man's book" (which Dawkins points out was a deliberate quote of a commentator on the New College, Oxford philosopher A. J. Ayer's Language, Truth, and Logic (1936)). | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The%20Selfish%20Gene | The Selfish Gene |
METONYMIC | PRODUCER | orchestra | The intro is one minute long, with the first fifteen seconds remaining silent until a brief orchestra is heard along with a choir singing the chorus of the song. | Vocalist Jonathan Cook stated that this was one of his favorite songs from the album. | An introduction to the song was featured as a hidden track on the pregap of J.A.C.K. The track is only available on physical copies of the album and can be heard if the disc is manually rewound past the beginning of "Chin Up Kid". | Music video The music video was announced by the band on August 13, two days prior to its release. | The video premiered on fuse on August 15 and contains live footage of the band performing on Warped Tour 2013. | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chin%20Up%20Kid | Chin Up Kid |
METONYMIC | PRODUCER | director | The Irish Times quotes the director as saying "That was a situation we didn't find particularly acceptable." | The site was then occupied by Supermac which, when it opened in 1964, was Northern Ireland's first supermarket. | Supermac had planned to redevelop the site itself in a £30 million project, however a company director pointed out that the firm would be at the peak of its overdraft at the same time as facing competition from Sainsbury's opening its first store in Northern Ireland. | Planning permission for the Sainsbury's store was granted in early February 1996 and construction by John Laing Group began with a groundbreaking ceremony a week later. | The Sainsbury's store was built on the northern part of the roughly triangular site which was unoccupied as part of the Supermac complex. | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Forestside%20Shopping%20Centre | Forestside Shopping Centre |
LITERAL | PRODUCER | pianist | The Italian pianist Maurizio Pollini praised the "childlike simplicity, immediacy and wonder" he found in her playing. | Fischer's playing has been praised for its "characteristic intensity" and "effortless manner of phrasing" (David Hurwitz), as well as its technical power and spiritual depth. | She was greatly admired by such contemporaries as Otto Klemperer and Sviatoslav Richter; Richter wrote, "Annie Fischer is a great artist imbued with a spirit of greatness and genuine profundity." | Her interpretations of Mozart, Beethoven, Brahms, Schubert and Schumann, as well as Hungarian composers like Bartók have been critically acclaimed. | Fischer made studio recordings in the 1950s with Otto Klemperer and Wolfgang Sawallisch, but felt that any interpretation created in the absence of an audience would necessarily be artificially constricting, as no interpretation was ever "finished." | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Annie%20Fischer | Annie Fischer |
LITERAL | PRODUCER | playwright | The Jamaican playwright Barry Reckord studied English at Emmanuel College from 1950 to 1953. | The Trinidadian politician and banker William Demas won an Island Scholarship to Emmanuel College in 1947, and stayed in Cambridge until 1955, gaining a MA in economics and a master of letters. | The Guyanese-born writer and educationist E.
