# Sh-Boom

"Sh-Boom" ("Life Could Be a Dream") is a doo-wop song by the R&B vocal group the Chords. It was written by James Keyes, Claude Feaster, Carl Feaster, Floyd F. McRae, and William Edwards, members of the Chords, and was released in 1954. It is sometimes considered the first doo-wop or rock and roll record to reach the top ten on the pop charts (as opposed to the R&B charts), as it was a top-10 hit that year for both the Chords (who first recorded the song) and the Crew-Cuts. In 2004, it was ranked No. 215 on Rolling Stone's "Top 500 Best Songs of All Time".

## History

The song was written and first recorded on Atlantic Records' subsidiary label Cat Records by the R&B group the Chords on March 15, 1954, and would be their only hit song. The group reportedly auditioned the song for famed record producer Bobby Robinson while he was sick in bed, but he rejected them, stating the song "wasn't commercial enough". When the Chords recorded their debut single for Cat Records, a cover of Patti Page's "Cross Over the Bridge", the label reluctantly allowed them to record "Sh-Boom" for the B-side with Sam "the Man" Taylor on saxophone. "Sh-Boom" would eventually overshadow "Cross Over the Bridge", reaching No. 2 on the Billboard R&B charts and peaking at No. 9 on the pop charts. It was later released by Cat as an A-side, coupled with another Chords original, "Little Maiden".
A more traditional pop version was made by an all-white Canadian group, the Crew-Cuts (with the David Carroll Orchestra), for Mercury Records and was No. 1 on the Billboard charts for nine weeks during August and September 1954. The single first entered the charts on July 30, 1954, and stayed for 20 weeks. The Crew-Cuts performed the song on Ed Sullivan's Toast of the Town on December 12, 1954.

## Other recordings

Stan Freberg recorded a combined spoof of "Sh-Boom" and Marlon Brando because he felt that they both mumbled, in 1954. It reached No. 14 in the US and 15 in the UK. The Billy Williams Quartet released a version in 1954 on Coral Records that reached No. 21 on the Billboard Hot 100, with orchestra directed by Jack Pleis. Bloodstone recorded an a cappella cover of the song for their 1975 movie Train Ride to Hollywood.

## In popular culture

The Crew Cuts version of the song is featured in the 1985 film Clue, played on a record player during a scene in which the various guests at the Boddy mansion stage scenes of a wild party to conceal the presence of several dead bodies from a police officer.
In the 1989 film Road House, Dalton (Patrick Swayze) first encounters the main antagonist Brad Wesley (Ben Gazzara) driving recklessly along a country road in his direction while singing along to the Crew-Cuts' version of the song, and narrowly missing him.
The song is also featured in the 2006 Pixar animated sports comedy film Cars in a scene where Lightning McQueen and the citizens of Radiator Springs are cruising through the town.

# True Golf Classics: Wicked 18

True Golf Classics: Wicked 18 is a golfing video game originally released by T&E Soft in 1993 for the Super Famicom in Japan and by Bullet-Proof Software for the Super NES in North America. A version was later released for the 3DO Interactive Multiplayer and the Mega Drive. The game takes place on a very difficult otherworldly golf course. It is part of the True Golf Classics series, but unlike other games such as Pebble Beach and Waialae Country Club, which portray actual golf courses, Wicked 18 portrays an entirely fictitious golf course.

## Gameplay

The object is to guide the golf ball through nearly impossible obstacles (lava, statues, extremely steep hills and mountains, omnipresent water hazards, huge sand traps, floating chunks of earth, gorges, cement) as the player tries to score as low as possible in order to win the day. Using the caddie, it is possible to scan the situation before hitting the ball with an analyzer. The bunkers are extremely treacherous, there is lava as well as water hazards, and 'out of bounds' can be in the middle of the hole. The "out of bounds" area could either be a platform game-style pit, an extended area of sand, or simply an unplayable rift. The game offers stroke play, match play, or tournament play.
There are also four caddies that help them. Each of them has their own personality and opinions about certain areas of each hole.

## Reception

Next Generation reviewed the Saturn version of the game, rating it three stars out of five, and stated that "In the end, if you're looking for a fresh approach to video golf this may be your only alternative, and it's a pretty good one."

# A Garden Flora: Trees and Flowers Grown in the Gardens at Nymans

A Garden Flora: Trees and Flowers Grown in the Gardens at Nymans is a 1918 book by Muriel Messel about the garden at Nymans in West Sussex, England. Messel died in December 1917, prior to the book's publication.

## History

Leonard Messel experimented on plants and introduced rare species into his garden at Nymans. He used glasshouses to house many species that were susceptible to being damaged in the English climate while they were still young. After a while, he would plant them in open ground. The garden is in West Sussex, England.

## Publication

The book was written by Messel in remembrance of her father Leonard Messell. The book was illustrated by Alfred Parsons, and the foreword was written by William Robinson. It documents the plants that were grown at Nymans. Messel added notes about the plants that were considered to be more noteworthy. Its appendix lists plants that were destroyed during a winter that occurred from 1916 to 1917, but the list of destroyed plants is small. The book was published in 1918. Messel died before the book was published from influenza the prior December.
Country Life said of the publication, "It is a rare pleasure to handle a book whose well printed pages are of a strong, pure linen-rag paper; the hands pass among the leaves with an actual physical enjoyment; the eye also dwells with pleasure on the white buckram back and blue-grey paper sides of this thoroughly well done volume."

## Reception

Nature said that the book "is not only a splendid tribute... but also a most valuable work for all true garden lovers." The Saturday Review of Politics, Literature, Science and Art wrote, "The book will be of great interest to all expert lovers of rare and beautiful plants." Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew said, "Had Miss Messel lived to see the publication of her work, she could have been congratulated."

# Ahmed Maher (youth leader)

Ahmed Maher (Arabic: أحمد ماهر pronounced; born 2 December 1980 in Alexandria, Egypt) is one of the co-founders of the April 6 Youth Movement, and a prominent participant in the Egyptian revolution of 2011 demonstrations in Egypt in 2011. He is a civil engineer who works for a construction firm in New Cairo.
Along with Asmaa Mahfouz, he founded the April 6 Youth Movement in Spring 2008. Maher attempted to organize several demonstrations after April 2008. However, his efforts were hindered both by interference from Egyptian security forces and internal divisions within the April 6 movement. In June 2010, Maher helped organize a protest against the killing, by Egyptian police, of Khaled Said, a young resident of Alexandria. Maher has expressed support for the potential bid of Mohamed ElBaradei for the Egyptian presidency.
He appeared in the 2011 BAFTA award-winning film, How to Start a Revolution.
Maher was detained on 29 November 2013 for holding a demonstration against a new Egyptian protest law. On 22 December 2013, together with other opposition leaders Ahmed Douma and Mohammed Adel, Maher was sentenced to three years in prison as a punishment for protests against recent steps by the Egyptian military government. Maher was expected to appeal to further judgment. The international community, including the U.S. State Department and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of France, criticized the court’s decision in the context of human rights in Egypt. In March 2014 Maher's lawyer complained that Maher, Douma and Adel were beaten by courthouse guards before an appeal hearing. Hamdeen Sabahi has censured the court conviction sentencing Ahmed Maher, Mohamed Adel and Ahmed Douma to three years in prison and a fine of LE50,000 and maintains that Interim President Adly Mansour should issue these and other detained individuals a pardon. The Constitution Party has expressed solidarity with the detainees and their families and requested that the interim President Adly Mansour issue a pardon to Ahmed Maher, Mohammed Adel, and Ahmed Douma, as well as to Loay Abdel Rahman, Omar Hussein, Islam Ahmed, and Nasser Ibrahim.
In 2014 he wrote an article for The Washington Post'' titled "The U.S. is supporting oppression in Egypt".
On 4 January 2017, he was freed that evening after completing his 3 years jail term. His lawyers state that provisory freedom was given their client and that he could be confined at the police station overnight at the discretion of authorities.

# Puritanical Euphoric Misanthropia

Puritanical Euphoric Misanthropia is the fifth studio album by Norwegian symphonic black metal band Dimmu Borgir. It was released by Nuclear Blast Records in 2001. This is the first album to feature drummer Nick Barker, guitarist Galder, and ICS Vortex on bass. It is also the first album upon which the band used real orchestral instrumentation besides keyboards and the first of the three subsequent albums recorded in Studio Fredman in Gothenburg, Sweden, with producer Fredrik Nordström. The drum sound on this particular album strongly relies on using triggered samples, thus giving it a distinct drum machine sounding result. According to Nick Barker, the idea to this recording approach at that time was heavily inspired by his friend Hellhammer and him doing the same thing on Mayhem's album Grand Declaration of War. Specifically, the bass drum sound uses a direct sample from the beginning of 5 Minutes Alone by Pantera off their 1994's Far Beyond Driven album. Also the exact tom drum sound used on this album was later re-used on Reaping the World Winds by Dimension F3H, which was mixed by Nordström as well.
A remixed and remastered version of the album was released on 28 October 2022. This version features less prominent and more natural sounding drums as well as less volume on samples and keyboards among other things.

# Alexander Gauk

Alexander Vassilievich Gauk (Russian: Алекса́ндр Васи́льевич Га́ук; 15 August [O.S. 3 August] 1893 – 30 March 1963) was a Soviet conductor and composer.

## Biography

Alexander Gauk was born in Odessa in 1893. He recalled his first experience as hearing army bands and his mother singing and accompanying herself at the piano. When he was seven he began piano studies and at 17 travelled to St. Petersburg and managed to gain entrance to the class of Daugover, later moving over to Felix Blumenfeld. He saw Arthur Nikisch, Claude Debussy, and Richard Strauss conduct and was particularly taken with Nikisch.

## Career

Gauk's first conducting experience was in 1912 with a student orchestra, and professionally on 1 October 1917 for a production of Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky's Cherevichki at the Petrograd Musical Drama Theatre. He spent much of the 1920s as conductor for the Mariinsky Ballet. He married the ballerina Elena Gerdt.
From 1930 to 1934, he was chief conductor of the Leningrad Philharmonic Orchestra. On 6 November 1931, he conducted that orchestra and the Academy Capella Choir in the world premiere of Dmitri Shostakovich's Third Symphony.
From 1932 he worked in Moscow and became chief conductor of a new radio orchestra in 1936, which evolved into the USSR State Symphony Orchestra. During the Second World War, after escaping from Riga, he taught in Moscow, before spending two years at the Tbilisi Conservatory and reviving the Georgian State Symphony Orchestra.
He helped to reconstruct Sergei Rachmaninoff's First Symphony from the orchestral parts found in the archives of the Moscow Conservatory in 1944; the manuscript score was lost in the 1920s. He conducted the world premiere of Aram Khachaturian's Cello Concerto in Moscow in 1946.
Gauk's own compositions include a symphony, chamber works for strings and works for piano. He left an unfinished autobiography.
His discography is now only partly available; Brilliant Classics released two box sets (Vol. 1, 2008; Vol. 2, 2010) with recordings taken from broadcasts of works by Russian and other composers.
His most notable students were Edouard Grikurov, Yevgeny Mravinsky, Ilya Musin, and Yevgeny Svetlanov.
# Hoover Nature Trail

The Hoover Nature Trail (HNT) is a crushed limestone rail trail in eastern Iowa that follows the old Chicago, Rock Island, and Pacific Railroad route between Burlington and Cedar Rapids. The trail is a shared-use trail for bicycling, hiking, jogging, walking, cross-country skiing, and nature study, and it is 24 miles (39 km) long.
Portions of the trail are in varying stages of development, with sections near Ely, West Branch, Nichols, Columbus Junction, and Morning Sun completed. In 1990, a three-mile (4.8 km) section opened east of Morning Sun. Lately, there has been a renewed push to connect the HNT with other trails in eastern Iowa.
The trail is part of the American Discovery Trail, and when completed, the HNT will become Iowa’s longest recreational trail.

## History

When the Chicago, Rock Island, and Pacific Railroad went bankrupt, Milly Gregg led a group of West Liberty, Iowa residents to preserve some features of the former Burlington, Cedar Rapids, and Northern mainline. Initial efforts focused on a possible steam-powered tourist line, which proved impractical. In the early 1990s, under Gregg's leadership, the Hoover Nature Trail began acquiring the Burlington to Cedar Rapids right of way for conversion to a recreational trail.
# Rafael Orozco (pianist)

Rafael Orozco Flores (24 January 1946 – 24 April 1996) was a Spanish classical pianist. Orozco is acclaimed as one of the great Spanish concert pianists.
Rafael Orozco came from a musical family in Córdoba and studied with José Cubiles, Alexis Weissenberg and Maria Curcio, the last and favourite pupil of Artur Schnabel. His professional career began after he won first prize in the 1966 Leeds International Piano Competition in the UK.
His large repertoire included works by Frédéric Chopin, Franz Liszt, Franz Schubert, Manuel de Falla, Sergei Rachmaninoff and Isaac Albéniz. He gave recitals on five continents and participated as soloist with the world's great orchestras, including Cleveland, Chicago, New York, Philadelphia, Los Angeles, Berlin, Vienna, Paris, and London. Orozco also participated in music festivals at Osaka, Praga, Berlin, Santander, Edinburgh, Spoleto, and Aldeburgh.
Orozco's playing was used in Ken Russell's 1970 film The Music Lovers, based on the life of Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky.
In 1986, Córdoba awarded Orozco the Gold Medal of the city and the title of Hijo Predilecto (Favourite Son).
Orozco died of AIDS in 1996. The Conservatorio Superior de Música Rafael Orozco de Córdoba is named in his honour.
