# Mad White Giant

Mad White Giant: A Journey to the Heart of the Amazon Jungle is a 1985 semi-autobiographical adventure novel by British explorer and author Benedict Allen. It details Allen's travels between the mouths of the Orinoco and the Amazon rivers. In the United States, the novel was published under the title Who Goes Out In The Midday Sun?

## Plot

Mad White Giant begins with Allen recounting the role of Amazonia in his childhood fantasies. The novel then describes the author's travels between the Orinoco and the Amazon rivers, a trip of over 1500 miles. During his travels, he befriends natives who refer to him as "Mad White Giant", or by his preferred nickname Louco Benedito.
Allen is later abandoned by his two Carib companions, Yepe and Pim, who go to work for Brazilian miners. Allen also adopts a dog, named Cashoe (meaning 'dog' in one of the Indian dialects), whose actions capsize Allen's canoe and leave him stranded in the Amazonian jungle. After a grueling period of starvation, recounted as a series of diary entries (actually written in one sitting), Allen decides to shoot and eat Cashoe to survive.

## Reception

The publication of Mad White Giant was greeted with some controversy. Allen was visited by two RSPCA inspectors who inquired about the welfare of his family pets. Several commentators doubted that Allen could have travelled his reported route within three months, leading to the cancellation of a lecture he was to give to the Royal Geographical Society. Allen admits that Mad White Giant is "unreliable" in terms of factual detail, a deliberate bid to distance his novel from the traditional travelogue genre. He also attributes any potential inaccuracies to the loss of his notes in a canoe capsizing, and in changes made to protect a travelling companion. Allen stated of his novel's integrity:
   I think of myself as a very truthful person and it upsets me if people think I'm a fraud. The book wasn't meant to be a scientific document. It was an adventure story which veiled an angry cry against what the white man has done and how we are going about exploiting these places. [...] I felt I was being criticised for writing about a very real journey as if it was a standard travelogue, which it quite clearly wasn't.
Douglas Ivison considers Mad White Giant to be written "within a tradition of British writing, in which boys had to venture out to the colonies in order to learn to become men." He further argues, however, that Allen achieves a "transcendence" that distances his writing from the "imperialist and capitalist, even patriarchal, discourses in which it is embedded."

# Mel Schacher

Melvin George Schacher (born April 8, 1951) is an American musician who is the bassist and a founding member of the hard rock band Grand Funk Railroad.

## Early life

Schacher was born in Owosso, Michigan, and was raised in Flint, Michigan. He became interested in music at the age of seven playing with his father's banjo. By age twelve he had moved to playing guitar and then bass. By age fourteen, Schacher was part of a trio playing mostly wedding receptions and talent competitions while playing with other local bands.

## Career
### The Mysterians

At sixteen, Schacher caught his first professional break when he was invited to replace bassist Frank Lugo in Question Mark and the Mysterians, and he supported their hit "96 Tears" (1966) on their 1967 tour.

### Grand Funk Railroad
#### Formation

During the Mysterians stint, he was approached to join former Terry Knight and the Pack drummer Don Brewer and singer/guitarist Mark Farner – who had been working as the Fabulous Pack but sought to change musical direction – to form a new power trio. Intrigued by the power trio concept, Schacher joined the new lineup, and almost from the moment they played the 1969 Atlanta International Pop Festival, inspiring a rousing reception and fast-spreading word of mouth, they achieved international fame as Grand Funk Railroad.

#### 1970s

From 1969 through 1975, Grand Funk was one of the top rock groups in the U.S., managing to hold on despite an acrimonious parting with manager/producer Terry Knight and a musical shift toward a more commercial hard rock. They achieved ten platinum-selling albums and two number 1 hit singles as well as several more top forty hits. In 1976 Grand Funk broke up over musical differences.
Farner, Brewer, and Schacher decided to give Grand Funk another try in 1980. However, Schacher had developed a distaste for flying and elected to stay behind.

#### 1990s-present

Schacher spent the intervening years making his way as an investor and occasional musician until, almost by chance, he reteamed with Farner and Brewer in a reunited Grand Funk Railroad in 1996. They recorded a live concert set, Bosnia, and a few new selections for a major anthology project. The original lineup toured until 1998, when Farner left to pursue his solo music career. Schacher and Brewer enlisted veteran musicians Max Carl (38 Special), Bruce Kulick (Kiss) and Tim Cashion (Bob Seger, Robert Palmer) and have continued touring as Grand Funk Railroad from 2000 to 2012 performing 40 shows a year to large audiences all across North America.

# Memorial Museum Passchendaele 1917

The Passchendaele Museum (until 2022 known as Memorial Museum Passchendaele 1917) in Zonnebeke, Belgium, is a museum devoted to the Battle of Passchendaele in 1917 (also known as the Third Battle of Ypres). In this battle in only 100 days, almost 500,000 men were killed to gain only eight kilometres of ground.
The museum is housed in the historic château grounds of Zonnebeke and focuses on the material aspects of the First World War.

## History

The history of the Passchendaele Museum started in 1987. It featured the first exhibition about the Third Battle of Ypres (1917). This exhibition consisted of visual materials from the Imperial War Museum. This initial exhibition was considered successful, with 9,000 visitors, who attended, amongst other events, a large ceremony at Tyne Cot Cemetery and battlefield tours.
It was decided to put the château at the museum's disposal, with attention fixed on the war years, but also the Zonnebeke Augustinian Abbey and local history. The museum itself opened in 1989.
In 2002, it was decided to renew the museum. The museum was increased to three storeys and became a classic historical museum with a reconstructed dug-out being built. The renewed museum opened on Anzac Day 2004.
In 2007, during the commemoration of 90 years since the 'Third Battle of Ypres', the museum organised six thematic exhibitions that took place in different locations, along with creating three new trails.
In 2014, the former vicarage of Zonnebeke was restored to be used as research centre.

## Theme: The Third Battle of Ypres

The main theme of the museum is the Third Battle of Ypres, also known as the Battle of Passchendaele. This was a major battle in 1917 during the First World War which was fought by British, Anzac and Canadian troops and the German army. The total loss of human lives is about 450,000, for only 8 km gain of ground. With this battle, the main goal was to eliminate an important part of the German Army.

## Location

The historic château of Zonnebeke located on the area around the battlefields of 1917. It is less than 3 km from Polygon Wood and Tyne Cot, the largest cemetery of the Commonwealth War Graves Commission.
