# Try and Stop Me (book)

Try and Stop Me (1944) is a best-selling book written by American publisher and writer Bennett Cerf and illustrated by artist Carl Rose. The first of a series of joke books compiled by Cerf, the founder of Random House publishers, Try and Stop Me sold over one million copies in the first two years of publication.

## Overview

The book is mainly a compilation of anecdotes, urban legends, jokes, ghost stories, what Cerf calls "shaggy dog stories", and profiles of newsmakers. Celebrities profiled by Cerf include Alexander Woollcott, Gertrude Stein, Robert Emmet Sherwood, Albert Einstein, Herbert Bayard Swope, Dorothy Thompson, Monty Woolley, George Gershwin, and Lucius Beebe.

## Reception

While reviewers called the book "a lot of stories some of which practically everybody has read or heard", the book sold well, going into eleven editions with its first publisher, Simon & Schuster, before being released in a condensed form by the magazines Reader's Scope and Omnibook Magazine. A special edition for the armed services was published in 1945; later that same year, it was serialized in the English newspaper the London Evening Chronicle and published in Swedish by publisher A.B. Ljus Forlag. It was later published by Pocket Books in numerous editions and was in print as late as the 1950s.
In 1948, Cerf published a sequel called Shake Well Before Using.

## Trivia

A copy of this book can be seen on the bed headboard bookshelf behind Lucille Ball in I Love Lucy episode 14 of season 2, where she has pregnancy cravings and eats pistachio ice cream with hot fudge and sardines. It is visible when Ricky Ricardo/Desi Arnaz serves his TV wife Lucy Ricardo the concoction of the three incongruous ingredients to satisfy her craving. It's also shown on the console table behind the sofa in episode 18 of season 2 in which Lucy develops an Inferiority Complex.

# National Indigenous Times

The National Indigenous Times (NIT) is an Indigenous Australian affairs website, originally published as a newspaper from February 2002.

## History

National Indigenous Times was first published in newspaper form on 27 February 2002. It was established by Owen Carriage, the founder of the Koori Mail.
In 2006, NIT published a major story about government staff anonymously representing themselves as independent witnesses in the Lateline report on child abuse in remote communities, with particular reference to Mutitjulu, in the Northern Territory.
On 27 February 2012, the Australian Broadcasting Corporation's program Media Watch aired a segment that detailed how the newspaper had repeatedly taken substantial material from other media sources without any attribution. This was addressed by editor Stephen Hagan, who promised to deliver more original material and use citations when using external references. Hagan left in December 2013.
In January and February 2015, the NIT was placed in administration because of accumulating legal bills arising from a defamation case and an unfair dismissal claim by former editor Stephen Hagan. NIT survived administration with a mix of the longstanding owners/founders and a number new part owners.
Gerry Georgatos was an investigative reporter and feature writer with the NIT for around six years. He delivered stories on native title in Australia, corrupt practices and government neglect of poverty-stricken communities. His correspondence for NIT was as a volunteer, "bringing to the fore voices from his many travels". Just before he announced in February 2015 that he was no longer with the newspaper, he spoke positively of the newspaper on National Indigenous Television.
In December 2015, Tony Barrass bought the NIT masthead from Sydney liquidators O'Brien Palmer and launched the online version on 28 February 2016.
In July 2024, NIT launched the website The Indigenous Business Review. In addition to their website, a glossy paper magazine is distributed as bimonthly inserts into The Australian and The West Australian newspapers, and be available in QANTAS airport lounges.

## Governance and description

# Robin Hood (Tippett opera)

Robin Hood is a ballad opera by Michael Tippett based on the legend of Robin Hood. Composed in 1934, the score remains unpublished. However, Tippett later used an expanded version of the overture as the finale to his 1948 Suite in D major (For the Birthday of Prince Charles).

## Background

During the Great Depression of the 1930s, Tippett was hired to organize the musical life at the Cleveland Work Camps for unemployed miners in North Yorkshire. As part of his work there, he revised and abridged John Gay's The Beggar's Opera for performances in the church hall next to the Miners' Institute in Boosbeck. Encouraged by its success, he composed a ballad opera of his own, Robin Hood, with a subtext that reflected the difficulties faced by the unemployed miners. At this time in his life Tippett was involved with radical left-wing politics and the libretto reflected these socialist views. Performers in the opera included friends of the composer such as Wilfred Franks, and local miners such as Tom Batterbee. It was first performed in 1934 by the local villagers, miners, and students at the work camps. Although a success both with the participants and the audience, the work bears little resemblance to the composer's mature style, and Tippett would later not allow it to be performed. Nevertheless, some of the songs from the opera were sung again in 2009 at the Station Hotel in Boosbeck and recorded for the BBC Radio 3 Programme Music Matters.

# Ludisia

Ludisia (Lus.) is a genus of orchids that was thought to contain just one species, Ludisia discolor, commonly referred to as jewel orchid. A second species, Ludisia ravanii, from the Philippines, was described in 2013. Ludisia discolor is native to Southern China, Northeast India, Thailand, Vietnam, the Philippines, Malaysia, Indonesia and Myanmar, and often cultivated.

## Description

They are terrestrial orchids that in their natural setting would be found growing on the forest floor. They are known for their foliage, which is often velvety deep maroon with red veins that run parallel to the centre of the leaf.
Flowers are white with twisting yellow columns. Individual flowers are small but grow in clusters on upright stalks. Flowers in cultivation last a month or more.

## Cultivation

They need high humidity and warm temperatures with low to medium light, and they tolerate extremely low light levels.

### Conservation

Like many species today, Ludisia discolor and other species of terrestrial orchids face threats due to climate change and other environmental factors. Studies today that aim to understand more about how orchid species could be cultivated include micropropagation. When micropropagating Ludisia discolor in varying environments, they found that the plant was able to adapt to the environment while maintaining 99% genetic similarity with the parent plant. Now that scientists are able to control the genetic diversity of a plant in varying conditions, it will be beneficial in improving the species’ population numbers.
Apart from climate change and similar environmental factors, the species is currently facing threats of Fusarium oxysporum, which manifests as a stem rot, affecting the flowering of species of orchids.

### Cultivars

Ludisia discolor has two notable cultivars:
* L. discolor 'Alba', an albino variant, and
* L. discolor 'Nigrescens', a mutation often referred to as "black velvet".

## Hybrids

Hybrids of Ludisia with other orchid genera are placed in the following nothogenera:
* Dossisia (Dsi.) = Ludisia × Dossinia
* Goodisia (Gda.) = Ludisia × Goodyera
* Ludochilus (Lud.) = Ludisia × Anoectochilus
* Macodisia (Mcd.) = Ludisia × Macodes
Note that these hybrids are with other genera in the subtribe Goodyerinae, all commonly referred to as jewel orchids.
(The given references are to registered primary hybrids within each given nothogenus.)
