# Francis Slay

Francis Gerard Slay (born March 18, 1955) is an American politician and lawyer who served as the 45th Mayor of St. Louis, Missouri from 2001 to 2017. The first mayor of the city of St. Louis to be elected to the office four consecutive times, Slay is the longest-serving mayor in St. Louis history. He is a member of the Democratic Party.

## Education and early career

Slay graduated from St. Mary's High School in 1973. He received a degree in political science from Quincy University and a J.D. degree from Saint Louis University School of Law. After graduating from law school, Slay served as a law clerk for Judge Paul J. Simon of the Missouri Court of Appeals for the Eastern District. In 1981, he joined the law firm of Guilfoil, Petzall, and Shoemake where he specialized in business law and commercial litigation. Slay was elected to the St. Louis Board of Aldermen in 1985, representing the 23rd ward. In 1995, he was elected President of the Board of Aldermen, and in 1999 was re-elected without opposition.

## Term as mayor

Slay defeated incumbent mayor Clarence Harmon and former mayor Freeman Bosley Jr. in the Democratic Primary in 2001. During his first term, he oversaw significant residential redevelopment within the city, including the redevelopment of the Washington Avenue Loft District. Slay then negotiated the construction of Busch Stadium, the new St. Louis Cardinals baseball stadium in downtown St. Louis, and the re-districting of aldermanic wards required after the 2000 census. The Slay administration and its public and private partners have received national and international recognition for St. Louis's renaissance. In May 2007, Downtown St. Louis's revitalization was the subject of a Preserve America Presidential Award, the nation's highest award for historic preservation. In 2011, Citygarden won the Urban Land Institute's prestigious Amanda Burden Urban Open Space award.
He announced on April 8, 2016, that he would not seek another term as mayor, though he remains the longest-serving mayor of the City of St. Louis as of 2024.

## Post-mayor

Slay accepted a job as an attorney with the Spencer Fane law firm, at their office in downtown St. Louis prior to his term ending on April 18, 2017

## Family

Slay is the second of eleven children. His father, Francis R. Slay, was affiliated with St. Raymond's Maronite Catholic Cathedral in St. Louis, and was the long-time Democratic Committeeman in the 23rd Ward, and who once served as Recorder of Deeds. Francis R. Slay died on March 16, 2011, aged 83.
Slay and his wife Kim have two children and three rescued dogs. Slay is a Maronite Catholic and also a supporter of the Archdiocese of St. Louis and of Catholic organizations in the city. He is of Lebanese and Polish ancestry.
# The Barnyard Broadcast

The Barnyard Broadcast is a 1931 Mickey Mouse animated short film directed by Burt Gillett, produced by Walt Disney Productions and distributed by Columbia Pictures. It was the thirty-third short in the Mickey Mouse film series, and the ninth produced that year.

## Plot

In a studio constructed in a barn, Mickey Mouse and his friends, Minnie Mouse, Horace Horsecollar and Clarabelle Cow, perform music for a radio broadcast. The listeners are all animals in the barnyard. The program goes smoothly, until a cat enters the barn and disrupts the music with his yowling. Mickey chases the cat out of the barn, but it returns through a hole in the door, followed by four unruly kittens. Mickey's attempts to get rid of the felines lead to the destruction of the instruments and the radio station.

## Voice cast

* Mickey Mouse: Walt Disney
* Kittens: Marcellite Garner
* Pluto/Cat: Lee Millar

## Reception

In a contemporary review, Motion Picture Herald said: "It is all delightful, nonsensical and amusing."
In Mickey's Movies: The Theatrical Films of Mickey Mouse, Gijs Grob writes: "The studio uses the cats to a great effect in a second attempt, after Mickey Steps Out, to build a finale from a string of gags. The film is not entirely successful in this, and only gains momentum when Mickey picks up the broom."

## Home media

The short was released on December 7, 2004 on Walt Disney Treasures: Mickey Mouse in Black and White, Volume Two: 1929-1935.

## Television

The Barnyard Broadcast was included in the TV show The Mickey Mouse Club (season 1, episode 76).
# Mickey Steps Out

Mickey Steps Out is a 1931 Mickey Mouse animated short film directed by Burt Gillett, produced by Walt Disney Productions and distributed by Columbia Pictures. It was the thirtieth short in the Mickey Mouse film series, and the sixth of that year.

## Plot

At home, Mickey Mouse gets ready for a date with Minnie, shaving and singing "I'm a Ding Dong Daddy from Dumas". Doffing a straw hat and carrying a cane, Mickey sets out on his date. His dog Pluto wants to accompany him, but Mickey sends the dog back, tying him to his doghouse. As Mickey dances his way to Minnie's, Pluto comes along anyway, dragging his doghouse behind him.
Approaching Minnie's house, Mickey hears her playing the piano. He pokes his head in the window, whistling along with Minnie's pet canary. Pluto begins chasing a cat as Mickey enters the house. Minnie plays "Sweet Georgia Brown" as Mickey dances, showing off by balancing a broom on his nose and spinning plates.
The song-and-dance is interrupted when Pluto chases the cat into the house, knocking Mickey over. The chase causes chaos in the house, wrecking the piano and knocking over Mickey, who's hit by a falling cuckoo clock. The cat jumps into the stove with Pluto close behind, and the animals' battle sends soot flying everywhere. With all four characters now in blackface, Mickey cries, "Minnie!"; Minnie cries, "Mickey!"; Pluto cries, "Mammy!"; and the cat shouts "Whoopee!"

## Production

This short is one of the only two Mickey Mouse cartoons in which Pluto speaks; the other is The Moose Hunt (1931).
The cartoon ends with Mickey, Minnie and Pluto as "blackface stereotypes". The blackface sequence has sometimes been cut on television airings.

## Reception

In a contemporary review, Motion Picture Herald said: "Mickey, the animated mouse, goes jazz with a vengeance while Minnie supplies the music and inspiration. Gained a number of laughs in New York, and good synchronization does its part." Motion Picture Reviews said that the cartoon contains "moderately entertaining misadventures", although "a few vulgarities might be dispensed with".
In Mickey's Movies: The Theatrical Films of Mickey Mouse, Gijs Grob writes of the ending: "This two-minute sequence is the first well-constructed finale in animation history."
Animated Short Films: A Critical Index to Theatrical Cartoons called it a "mediocre Mickey cartoon". However, Michael Barrier in Hollywood Cartoons: American Animation in Its Golden Age praised the improvement in the studio's animation: "Mickey moves with none of the monotonous rhythmic twitching so typical of the early Disney sound cartoons; instead, Mickey's movements have some of the variety, within the rhythmic framework of the music, that a human dancer's would have."

## Voice cast

* Mickey Mouse: Walt Disney
* Minnie Mouse: Marion Darlington
* Whistling canary: Esther Campbell

## Home media

The short was released on December 3, 2002 on Walt Disney Treasures: Mickey Mouse in Black and White.

## Television

The Delivery Boy was included in the TV show The Mickey Mouse Club (season 1, episode 68).
# Wot a Night

Wot a Night is a 1931 animated film. It is the first film in Van Beuren's Tom and Jerry series, later re-issued as "Dick and Larry".

## Plot

In their first film, Tom and Jerry are taxi drivers at the train station on a stormy day, waiting for a fare. A train comes up, and stops with an engine hauling a coach to let off two identical-looking men, who come out, similar to the pair from the Farmer Alfalfa cartoon Wooden Money. They both try to get them in the taxi. After the men are settled, Tom drives the men. It rains so much, a frog jumps in to the taxi and gets back again.
They reach a castle, and as the men walk in, Tom and Jerry run to the men to be paid, but are locked inside. Then, a cloud turns into a human-like figure with arms. He then plays crenellations as piano keys, and while near towers act as pipes, similar to a pipe organ, two trees play their own branches like piccolos. As they walk, Tom is mortified as Jerry is interested as a giant bat-like creature appears in front of them.
They come to a room where a skeleton is cleaning itself. After this point, they are sure that paranormal things are happening. Odd things that happen include: ghosts standing behind them, finding a skeleton playing a piano while another skeleton dances to the music, a glove dancing, and a blackface quartette of skeletons singing a song, which includes a few lines from versions of "Golden Slippers", such as a "long white robe" and a "starry crown", and to stop gambling.
After these things have happened, the two men walk in and point at Jerry. Jerry lifts his shirt, and now realizes that he is a skeleton, too. Tom laughs, and now realizes that he is a skeleton when Jerry lifts his shirt, too. Tom is terrified, and as both men run for their lives, the cartoon ends.

# Judith Jacobson

Judith Jacobson is Associate Professor of Clinical Epidemiology at the Columbia Mailman School of Public Health.

## Education

Jacobson is a 1964 graduate of Pembroke College in Brown University. She holds an MBA, MPH, and DrPH from Columbia University.

## Career

Jacobson’s major research interests are cancer, asthma, and the role of behavior, including the use of complementary/alternative medicine, in the prevention and control of these conditions. She and colleagues collaborated on studies of factors associated with cancer outcomes in national data and decision analyses of breast cancer prevention strategies, and on clinical trials of an herbal agent to control hot flashes in breast cancer patients and vitamin supplementation to prevent DNA damage in heavy smokers.

## Support for Israel

Jacobson is a co-founder of Scholars for Peace in the Middle East [de] and is frequently quoted in the press on the issue of anti-Israel campus activity. In opposing a proposed visit to campus by Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, Jacobson told The New York Times that neither academic freedom nor free speech required Columbia to “give a podium to anyone who wants it, let alone a Hitler wannabe who has actively suppressed academic freedom in his own country.”
She told reporters that members of the Columbia faculty are afraid to speak when colleagues unfairly treat students who support Israel, because they do not want to risk ostracism and jeopardize their careers. She claimed, "Some faculty members are afraid to come out and express support for Israel's right to exist, and some feel they've been penalized and isolated for doing so."
"In the past three years," Jacobson told the Washington Times in 2005, "we've come to realize that we are confronting a pervasive loss of integrity in the academy. What has recently been termed the Palestinianization of the academy is not support for the Palestinians (we would not have a problem with that because we are both pro-Israel and pro-Palestinian, and no, that is not an oxymoron), but an obsessive focus on Israel's 'crimes,' and unfounded charges of racism, apartheid, and genocide directed at Israel."
# The Male Man

The Male Man is a short theatrical cartoon by Fleischer Studios. It is one of the films in the Talkartoons series, featuring Bimbo.

## Overview

The cartoon centers on Bimbo who delivers and works on mail. For some reason, the film is entitled The Male Man as opposed to The Mail Man.
After carrying letters to various recipients, Bimbo delivers one to an abandoned house inhabited by a pack of hooded monsters. One of them pulls him inside and requests him to carry a letter to someone who lives under the sea. Bimbo reluctantly accepts.
Bimbo carries the letter given to him by the hooded monsters. On his way walking on the countryside, the envelope mysteriously grows bigger and bigger, prompting him to drag it. While doing so, he obliviously moves toward a cliff. When he goes on pulling the giant envelope, it tears open, and Bimbo falls off the edge. Bizarrely, smaller envelopes fall out from the torn opening of the big one.
After falling from the cliff, Bimbo plunges into the sea below. Under the water, he finds a house, and sees what at first looks like a siren dancing inside. Finding the resident pretty, Bimbo knocks on the door to greet her. The door opens but it appears the siren is actually a fearsome octopus, much to Bimbo's panic. As the frightened dog runs, the octopus chases him. It also appears the octopus is the intended recipient of the hooded monsters' message as the mollusk picks up the small envelopes that come falling down.
Also featured in the cartoon is the 1929 song Step By Step (also called I'm Marching Home to You). The song was popularized by Walter Van Brunt and Billy Murray who also voiced Bimbo.
# Internet Junkbuster

The Internet Junkbuster is a web proxy that can block ads and cookies. As of 2000 it functioned by checking requested URLs, including those for images, against a blocklist. It was developed by the Junkbusters Corporation and released under the GNU General Public License. However, the Internet Junkbuster has not been updated since 1998 and the junkbusters.com web site is no longer maintained.
Privoxy is an up-to-date filtering proxy based on the Junkbuster code, but it is much more powerful.
Junkbuster's developers at one point released Guidescope, a consumer version of Junkbuster.

## Reception

A review by InfoWorld in 2000 gave it a score of "Good" but criticized it for the technical knowledge needed to modify the blocklist by manually editing a .ini file.
# Audio filter

An audio filter is a frequency-dependent circuit, working in the audio frequency range, 0 Hz to 20 kHz. Audio filters can amplify (boost), pass or attenuate (cut) some frequency ranges. Many types of filters exist for different audio applications including hi-fi stereo systems, musical synthesizers, effects units, sound reinforcement systems, instrument amplifiers and virtual reality systems.

## Types
### Low-pass

    Low-pass filters pass through frequencies below their cutoff frequencies, and progressively attenuate frequencies above the cutoff frequency. Low-pass filters are used in audio crossovers to remove high-frequency content from signals being sent to a low-frequency subwoofer system.

### High-pass

    A high-pass filter does the opposite, passing high frequencies above the cutoff frequency, and progressively attenuating frequencies below the cutoff frequency. A high-pass filter can be used in an audio crossover to remove low-frequency content from a signal being sent to a tweeter.

### Band-pass

    A band-pass filter passes frequencies between its two cutoff frequencies while attenuating those outside the range. A band-reject filter attenuates frequencies between its two cutoff frequencies while passing those outside the 'reject' range.

### All-pass

    An all-pass filter passes all frequencies but affects the phase of any given sinusoidal component according to its frequency.

## Applications

In some applications, such as in the design of graphic equalizers or CD players, the filters are designed according to a set of objective criteria such as passband, passband attenuation, stopband, and stopband attenuation, where the passbands are the frequency ranges for which audio is attenuated less than a specified maximum, and the stopbands are the frequency ranges for which the audio must be attenuated by a specified minimum. In more complex cases, an audio filter can provide a feedback loop, which introduces resonance (ringing) alongside attenuation. Audio filters can also be designed to provide gain (boost) as well as attenuation. In other applications, such as with synthesizers or sound effects, the aesthetic of the filter must be evaluated subjectively.
Audio filters can be implemented in analog circuitry as analog filters or in DSP code or computer software as digital filters.

## Self-oscillation

Self-oscillation occurs when the resonance or Q factor of the cutoff frequency of the filter is set high enough that the internal feedback causes the filter circuitry to become a sine tone sine wave oscillator.
