Joe_the_King

joe the king is a 1999 drama film, written and directed by frank whaley, based largely on his own childhood and the childhood of his brother. it stars noah fleiss, val kilmer, karen young, ethan hawke, john leguizamo, austin pendleton, camryn manheim, max ligosh and james costa. the film premiered at the 1999 sundance film festival, where it won the waldo salt screenwriting award (shared with guinevere). ==plot== 14-year-old joe henry (noah fleiss) has spent his life in an abusive household. his father bob (val kilmer) is a raging violent alcoholic, while his mother, theresa (karen young) feels too stressed to pay attention to him and lives in fear of getting caught in the path of her husband's wrath. his brother, about a year older, is normal and friendly, but offers no affirmative guidance. he mostly ignores joe as he doesn't want the association of joe's natural uncoolness ruining his attempts to get into the "in" crowd. joe is taunted by his classmates, and hassled by creditors about his father's mounting bills. to make matters worse, one night bob goes off the deep end and smashes all of theresa's records. in response to economic pressure, joe takes a full-time job after school, leaving him tired and even less able to keep up with class work. far worse, he becomes a petty thief to raise the money to pay bob's bills and replace her records. he even does an insider job—robbing the diner where he works illegally. failing in school, joe is assigned a guidance counselor leonard coles (ethan hawke), who, though reasonably friendly, is incompetent. (for example, in their first session, when joe starts to talk about his problems, the counselor unthinkingly shuts him off). disaster eventually strikes, and joe faces the rest of his seemingly doomed life in doubt. ironically, where he winds up next seems more like hope than tragedy. perhaps a chance to get away from his horrible childhood and family. ==location== this film was shot almost entirely on staten island, serving as a stand-in location for whaley's home town of syracuse, new york. numerous scenes were shot at [[staten island tech

John_Dumphreys

john molesworth thomas dumphreys (24 december 1844 – 18 december 1925) was a british conservative politician. he was elected member of parliament for bermondsey in a 1909 by-election, but weeks later lost the seat to the liberals at the january 1910 general election. dumphreys was born in bermondsey in 1844. of humble origins, he worked as a journeyman leather dresser. he was active in local politics most of his adult life, elected to the borough council, the school board and county council. he had also stood in birmingham west in 1885, against joseph chamberlain, on a fair trade platform. he was something of a rarity, in being a "conservative working man." in 1907 he became mayor of bermondsey. he was a supporter of tariff reform.the times, 14 october 1909 aged almost 65, he was selected as conservative candidate for the by-election caused by the death of the sitting liberal mp george joseph cooper. the seat had alternated between liberal and conservative in recent elections, although the liberals had secured a convincing victory in 1906. dumphreys was critical of the liberal government's failure to act on the recommendation of the poor law commission, which had been initiated by the previous conservative government. in particular, he pressed for wholesale reform of the workhouse system, for better treatment of the deserving poor, and removal of the taint of pauper from children. "for every child a chance" was his philosophy.the times, 15 october 1909 after a good-natured contest, dumphreys was elected on 28 october 1909 with a majority of 987 votes over the liberal candidate, mr. spencer leigh hughes, with the labour candidate, dr. alfred salter, securing 16% of the vote. however, polling day had been marred by two women attacking polling stations, smashing bottles containing corrosive liquid over ballot boxes, in an attempt to destroy votes. a presiding officer, mr. thornley, was badly injured in one of these attacks, and a liberal agent suffered a severe burn to the neck. the count was delayed while ballot papers were carefully examined, but it was determined that only two votes had been destroyed.the times, 29 october 1909 dumphreys had little time to enjoy his victory, or to make much impact in the house of commons. parliament was dissolved in december 1909, and in the ensuing general election, he was beaten by 969 votes in a straight fight by the new liberal candidate harold glanville. dumphreys thereby became one of the shortest-serving mps in history. he tried to regain the seat in the december 1910 election, but was defeated by a wider margin, and never stood for parliament again. dumphreys was the last conservative mp for bermondsey. his labour opponent in the by-election, dr. alfred salter eventually won the seat for labour in 1922, and the seat became

Stanton_Street_Settlement

the stanton street settlement is a settlement movement, a 501(c)(3) not-for-profit community organization in new york, new york, united states. its mission is to provide a safe, caring, tuition-free environment where children from the city's lower east side can develop their minds, bodies and spirits. ==historical perspective== the stanton street settlement follows in a long tradition of service. the settlement movement was started in london at oxford by don barnett, who opened toynbee hall in east london. it was a place where service-minded cambridge and oxford graduates could work to empower the local poor through educational and social services. jane addams brought the idea to chicago after visiting and observing the workings of toynbee hall. she opened america's first settlement, hull house, on 18 september 1889. under her steadfast leadership hull-house expanded. she described the difficulties and victories experienced there from 1889 - 1909 in her most famous book, "twenty years at hull-house." it is in her writings that the model of what a settlement should be is most carefully given: for her work with hull-house, jane addams won a nobel prize in 1931. her ideas spread to new york, where several settlements sprang up in the lower east side to meet the social and educational needs of the city's growing immigrant population. the stanton street settlement, founded in 1999, still continues this tradition of community service at 53 stanton street. it is a flexible, grass-roots, 100% volunteer program designed to respond to the specific needs of the community. the settlement currently serves approximately 35 students ages 5 to 16 with the help of 25 volunteer tutors and teachers. ==external links== *http://www.stantonstreet.org/

Hurricane_Kyle_(2008)

hurricane kyle was the eleventh tropical storm and sixth hurricane of the 2008 atlantic hurricane season. it formed from a strong tropical disturbance that tracked across the northeastern caribbean sea in the third week of september. as a low pressure area, it moved slowly across puerto rico and hispaniola, dumping torrential rains across those islands. by september 24, it began to track northward away from the islands, and developed enough strong thunderstorm activity near its center and a well-defined enough circulation to be deemed a tropical storm on september 25. it strengthened to a hurricane on september 27 west of bermuda. it made landfall in nova scotia as a category 1 hurricane late on september 28, then became extratropical shortly afterward. the precursor to kyle produced torrential rainfall over puerto rico, resulting in six fatalities and $48 million in damages. little impact was recorded in hispanola and bermuda as the system tracked northward. along the eastern united states, rough seas resulted in two fatalities and as the storm made landfall in canada, heavy rains fell in eastern maine. in canada, kyle had relatively little impact, leaving $9 million in damages and no fatalities. ==meteorological history== hurricane kyle began as a weak area of low pressure associated with a tropical wave that moved off the west coast of africa on september 12. the system tracked in a general westward direction with little convective development and tracked over the leeward islands on september 18. an upper-level trough situated over the eastern caribbean sea interacted with the wave, resulting in an increase in shower and thunderstorm activity. the following day, a larger surface circulation developed as the low moved towards the northwest. the wave later became separated from the low, with the wave continuing towards the west and the low tracking to the northwest.{{cite web|author=lixion a. avila|publisher=national hurricane center|date=december 5, 2008|accessdate=may 20, 2009|title=tropi

Surface_Water_Ocean_Topography_Mission

the surface water ocean topography (swot) mission is a proposed nasa mission to make the first global survey of earth’s surface water. it is one of 15 missions that the 2007 national research council’s decadal survey of earth science recommends nasa implement in the coming decade. swot is being developed by an international group of hydrologists and oceanographers to provide a better understanding of the world's oceans and its terrestrial surface waters. it will give scientists their first comprehensive view of earth’s freshwater bodies from space and more much detailed measurements of the ocean surface than ever before. swot is collaboration between nasa and cnes, the french space agency. it builds on the very successful 25-year partnership between the two agencies to use radar altimetry to measure the surface of the ocean that began with the topex/poseidon mission. the swot mission is based on a new type of radar called ka-band radar interferometery. the satellite will fly two radar antennae at either end of a 10-meter (33-foot) mast, allowing it to measure the elevation of the surface along a 120- kilometer (75-mile)-wide swath below. the new radar system is smaller but similar to the one that flew on nasa’s shuttle radar topography mission, which made high-resolution measurements of earth’s land surface in 2000. the mission’s science goals are to *provide sea surface heights and terrestrial water heights over a 120-kilometer wide swath with a plus or minus 10-kilometer gap at the nadir track. *over the deep oceans, provide sea surface heights within each swath with a posting every two kilometers x two kilometers, and a precision not to exceed 0.5 centimeters when averaged over the area. *over land, download the raw data for ground processing and produce a water mask able to resolve 100-meter-wide rivers and one-quarter-kilometer-square lakes, wetlands, or reservoirs. associated with this mask will be water level elevations with an accuracy of 10 centimeters and a slope accuracy of one centimeter/one kilometer. *cover at least 90 percent of the globe. gaps are not to exceed 10 percent of earth's surface. swot will have a mission lifetime of three years. ==references== ==external links== *[http://swot.jpl.nasa.gov/ surface water ocean to

The_Minion

the minion (also known as fallen knight in canada), is a 1998 american and canadian action supernatural horror film directed by jean-marc piché and starring dolph lundgren and françoise robertson. ==synopsis== the film's plot revolves around the coming of the apocalypse, heralded by the imminent liberation of the antichrist from the depths of hell through a certain gateway at the close of one full millennium. this gate can only be opened by a special key, which has been kept guarded by the order of the templars (who in this version existed since the last days of jesus). the key in turn is sought out by the servant of the antichrist, simply known as the minion, a demonic spirit that transfers itself into the next available host body when his previous one is killed off. his first attempt to gain the key at the close of the year 999 is foiled; the sole surviving templar of the company charged with hiding the key eventually takes off with a ship to the west, to what was at that time known as the "end of the world", to keep it from the minion's grasp. a thousand years later, near christmas of 1999, two city engineer workers accidentally find a hidden templar burial chamber beneath new york city. a mohawk archeologist, karen goodleaf, is tasked with the examination of the chamber and its contents, but then the minion attacks. before he can claim the key, however, he is hindered by a man in priest garb, who kills the minion's host body with a blow from a spiked gauntlet to a certain part of the neck and then takes the key for himself. startled and confused, karen chases after the man, who gradually introduces himself as "lukas". lukas sadorov is a templar and a former speznas who deserted the soviet army following a massacre on civilians in afghanistan, sent by the head of his order to recover the key. after a lot of insistence, karen tags along with lukas and eventually gains his trust, and after having seen the minion in action, she decides to aid him in his quest by proposing to hide the key in a nuclear waste dep

Gannys

gannys was a roman general and eunuch who commanded the troops of elagabalus against emperor macrinus in the battle of antioch. according to edward gibbon in his decline and fall of the roman empire:gibbon, edward. decline and fall of the roman empire, vol. 1, chapter 6. "... antoninus himself, who in the rest of his life never acted like a man, in this important crisis of his fate approved himself a hero, mounted his horse, and, at the head of his rallied troops, charged sword in hand among the thickest enemies; whilst the eunuch gannys, whose occupation had been confined to female cares and the soft luxury of asia, displayed the talents of an able and experienced general." (i, vi) according to dio cassius: "because of his slaying at nicomedeia at the very outset of his reign gannys, the man who had brought about the uprising, who had taken him to the camp, who had also caused the soldiers to revolt, who had given him the victory over macrinus, and who had been his foster-father and guardian, he was regarded as the most impious of men. 2 to be sure, gannys was living rather luxuriously and was fond of accepting bribes, but for all that he did no one any harm and bestowed many benefits upon many people. most of all, he showed great zeal for the emperor and was thoroughly satisfactory to maesa and soaemis, to the former because he had been reared by her, and to the latter because he was virtually her husband. 3 but it was not at all because of this that the emperor put him out of the way, inasmuch as he had wished to give him a marriage contract and appoint him caesar; it was rather because he was forced by gannys to live temperately and prudently. and he himself was the first to give gannys a mortal blow with his own hand, since no one of the soldiers had to take the lead in murdering him. ==notes== (2) history of rome, lxxx.6

HTTP+HTML_form-based_authentication

http+html form-based authentication, typically presently colloquially referred to as simply form-based authentication, is a technique whereby a website uses a web form to collect, and subsequently authenticate, credential information from a user agent, typically a web browser. (note that the phrase "form-based authentication" is ambiguous. see form-based authentication for further explanation.) == interaction summary == the steps of the technique are: * an unauthenticated user agent requests a web page from a website, via the http protocol. * the website returns an html web page to the unauthenticated user agent. the web page consists minimally of an html-based web form which prompts the user for their username and password, along with a button labeled "login" or "submit". * the user fills in his username and password, and then presses the submit button. * the user agent sends the web form data (which includes the username and password) to the web server. * the website implementation, running on the web server, performs some verification and validation operations on the web-form data. if successful, the website considers the user agent to be authenticated. == adoption considerations == http+html form-based authentication is arguably the most prevalent user-authentication technique employed on the world wide web today. it is the approach of choice for essentially all wikis, forums, banking/financial websites, e-commerce websites, web search engines, web portals, and other common web-server applications. this popularity is apparently due to webmasters or their employers wanting fine-grained control over the presentation and behavior of the solicitation for user credentials, while the default pop-up dialog boxes (for http basic access authentication or digest access authentication) that many web browsers provide do not allow precise tailoring. the desired precision may be motivated by corporate requirements (like branding) or implementation issues (e.g., the default configuration of website software like mediawiki, phpbb, drupal, wordpress). regardless of rationale, any corporate branding or user-experience adjustments must not distract from several security considerations of this authentication process. == security considerations == * the user credentials are conveyed in the clear to the web site, unless steps such as employment of transport layer security (tls) are taken. * the technique is essentially ad hoc in that effectively none of the interactions between the user agent and the web server, other than http and html

Rollin_Hotchkiss

rollin douglas hotchkiss (1911 – december 12, 2004) was an american biochemist who helped to establish the role of dna as the genetic material and contributed to the isolation and purification of the first antibiotics. his work on bacterial transformation helped lay the groundwork for the field of molecular genetics.philip siekevitz, "in memory of rollin hotchkiss", asbc newsletter, february 2005. ==education== hotchkiss was born in south britain, connecticut. the son of factory workers, he attended yale university after scoring the highest in the nation on an achievement test. hotchkiss earned a b.s. in chemistry in 1932, and remained at yale for a ph.d. in organic chemistry. after completing his doctoral work in 1935, hotchkiss became a fellow of the rockefeller institute of medical research, where he would remain until retirement in 1982. ==research career== at the rockefeller institute, hotchkiss initially worked as an assistant to oswald avery and walter goebel, and was encouraged to learn more biology at a summer courses at the marine biological laboratory. his early work isolating and synthesizing derivatives of glucoronic acid led to the identification of one of the specific polysaccharides in the capsule of type iii pneumococci. hotchkiss spent the 1937-1938 academic year in the lab of heinz holter and kaj linderstrøm-lang at carlsberg laboratory learning protein analysis techniques. in 1938, he began collaborating with rené dubos to isolate and study antibiotics produced by soil bacteria. their work on gramicidin and tyrocidine led to the first commercial antibiotics, and with fritz lipmann they found that the antibiotics include d-amino acids. during the late 1930s, hotchkiss was also strongly critical of the bergann-niemann hypothesis of protein structure, the proposal by fellow rockefeller biochemists max bergmann and carl niemann that protein structures always consist of multiples of 288 amino acids. (this would also be a feature of dorothy wrinch's cyclol hypothesis of protein structure).lily e. kay, the molecular view of life: caltech, the rockefeller foundation, and the rise of the new biology, oxford university press, 1993. p. 115 in 1946, in the wake of the avery-macleod-mccarty experiment showing that dna, not protein, had the power to transform bacteria from one type to another, hotchkiss rejoined avery's lab. his work on protein analysis helped answer avery's critics who argued that the experiment was not sufficiently rigorous to rule out protein contamination (and thus the possibility that protein was the transforming fact

New_South_Wales_D58_class_locomotive

the d58 class was a class of steam locomotives built by the new south wales government railways in australia. they were built with the 4-8-2 wheel arrangement. ==construction== in 1943 approval was given for the new south wales government railways workshops to build 25 freight locomotives. the design was a modified version of the 57 class. the main alterations were the use of a rack and pinion valve gear in lieu of the gresley 2:1 conjugated vale gear for the middle cylinder and the use of smaller cylinders to enable the locomotives to run to on the main north line to broadmeadow, a route which had a tighter loading gauge. they also used a woodard divided drive of twin coupling rods between the second and third driving wheels. a valance was fitted over the valve gear on the front platform. eveleigh railway workshops built 11 locomotives and cardiff locomotive workshops two. the first entered service in march 1950. the decision to move to diesel power saw only 13 locomotives completed. 300px|center ==operations== whilst the derived rack and pinion valve gear appeared superior in theory, in practice it required more maintenanc

Kamakura_Kaidō

is the generic name of a great number of roads built during the kamakura period which, from all directions, converged on the military capital of kamakura, kanagawa prefecture, japan.nihon rekishi chimei taikei the term itself however was created probably during the edo period to mean simply any old road going to kamakura; it is used for example in the fudokikō.the shinpen musashino fudokikō is a guide book published in 1830. the famous tōkaidō highway which connects kyoto to kamakura can therefore also be considered a kamakura kaidō. texts like the taiheiki and the azuma kagami see things from a kamakura-centric perspective and therefore use for the same roads individual names deriving from their destination, for example kyōto Ōkan or the generic term .kamakura shōkō kaigijo (2008:53-54) today, modern paved roads that approximately follow one of the routes of an old kamakura kaidō are named either kamakura kaidō, as tokyo prefecture machida route 18, or . ==the three main routes== the three main roads in the kantō region were called ("upper route"), ("middle route"), and ("lower route").some sources use instead the readings kamitsu michi, nakatsu michi and shimotsu michi. their course is well known because it's described in several medieval books. they ended at the shinto gate (torii) at the entrance of tsurugaoka hachiman-gū in kamakura.kamiya vol. 1 (2006:17) like the other routes, these roads were built to allow quick army movements from and to kamakura and were of great importance during the many internal wars of the period.kusumoto (2002:60-61) the kami no michi, in particular, was used by nitta yoshisada for his 1333 attack on kamakura, and all the battlefields of that campaign (for example and , both in today's tokorozawa, saitama prefecture, or in today's fuchū) are therefore along its course. the kamakura kaidō/Ōk

chronux is an open-source software package developed for the loading, visualization and analysis of a variety of modalities / formats of neurobiological time series data. usage of this tool enables neuroscientists to perform a variety of analysis on multichannel electrophysiological data such as lfp (local field potentials), eeg, meg, neuronal spike times and also on spatiotemporal data such as fmri and dynamic optical imaging data. the software consists of a set of matlab routines interfaced with c libraries that can be used to perform the tasks that constitute a typical study of neurobiological data. these include local regression and smoothing, spike sorting and spectral analysis. the package also includes some guis for time series visualization and analysis. chronux is gnu gpl v2 licensedhttp://chronux.org/downloads/chronux/chronux/manual.pdf (and matlab is proprietary). ==history== from 1996 to 2001, the marine biological laboratory (mbl) at woods hole, massachusetts, usa hosted a workshop on the analysis of neural data. this workshop then evolved into the special topics course on neuroinformatics which is held at the mbl in the last two weeks of august every year. the popularity of these pedagogical efforts and the need for wider dissemination of sophisticated time-series analysis tools in the wider neuroscience community led the mitra lab at cold spring harbor laboratory to initiate an nih funded effort to develop software tools for neural data analysis in the form of the chronux package. chronux is the result of efforts of a number of people, the chief among whom are hemant bokil, peter andrews, samar mehta, ken harris, catherine loader, partha mitra, hiren maniar, ravi shukla, ramesh yadav, hariharan nalatore and sumanjit kaur. important contributions were also made by murray jarvis, bijan pesaran and s.gopinath. chronux welcome contributions from interested individuals. ==organization and capabilities of chronux== chronux is organized into a number of distinct toolboxes. these include the spectral analysis toolbox, the local regression and likelihood toolbox, and the spike-sorting toolbox. in addition, a number of domain-specific guis are part of the chronux package and more are envisaged. much of chronux is written in matlab with certain intensive computations being coded in c with a mex interface to matlab. the methods employed are state-of-the-art: for example, the spectral analysis toolbox implements the multitaper spectral estimation method and the local regression and likelihood toolbox (locfit) implements a set of highly flexible methods for fitting functions and probability distributions to data. chronux provides robust estimates of the confidence intervals on computed quantities. thus, the computation of a spectrum can be augmented by a com

Arvind_Narayan_Das

arvind narayan das (popularly known as arvind n. das) was a social scientist, journalist, activist and a documentary filmmaker from bihar. arvind n. das was influenced by naxalbari, the peasant rebellion, while he was a student at st. stephen's college, delhi in late 1960s. according to journalist harsh sethi - "rarely before, or since, at least in post-independence india, had otherwise comfortably placed students taken the cause of the underdog to heart. among those who were permanently marked by the experience of the ‘spring thunder’ was arvind n. das."in memoriam : arvind n. das - 1949-2000 his experiences in the period he spent underground as part of the naxalites movement, shaped most of his life thereafter. he joined the times of india as the research editor and pioneered the books that the times of india group produced on its sesquicentennial celebrations. in 1994 he moved out of the times of india and helped co-found asia pacific communication associates pvt. ltd. (apca), along with dileep padgaonkar, anikendra nath sen and darryl d'monte. in 1995 he embarked on a journey which took him around india for an 18 part documentary called india invented. this serial was inspired by d.d. kosambi's vision of indian history. this documentary which took more than 2 years to make was probably a defining moment of arvind das's career. he was also the founder editor of biblio, a review of books. at his sudden death due to heart attack in 2000, indian journalist dileep padgaonkar wrote, "but arvind's real obsession, the one that shaped his thinking, guided his written output and nourished his conversations, was his native bihar. it can be said without exaggeration that no contemporary indian thinker has spoken and written about the glorious past, the dismal present and potential for a great future of this state with such lofty eloquence as he did. in his eyes, bihar was a metaphor for india itself. at a pinch, he would have deemed it to be the very center of the universe. while he loathed its venal, caste-ridden, ineffective governance, the violent nature of its society, its decrepit intellectual and cultural life and the slothful ways of its elite, he never missed an opportunity to recall its rich cultural and spiritual legacy, the noble character of its long suffering people and the revolutionary potential of its youth. two of his books - the republic of bihar and changel: the biography of a village - bear vivid testimony to what the state meant to him."always against the tide ==references and footnotes==

Liver:_A_Fictional_Organ_with_a_Surface_Anatomy_of_Four_Lobes

liver: a fictional organ with a surface anatomy of four lobes is the seventh collection of short stories by will self. the stories in the collection are all connected to the liver and was described by the author as "...a collection of two novellas and two longer short stories, all on a liverish theme. each story features different people suffering from different forms of liver damage." time out was one of the first publications to review it and said..."this inspired collection of four stories uses the liver as framework and controlling metaphor – there’s a tale for each lobe – but is less interested in the organ as a metabolic regulator than in what happens when it’s damaged beyond repair. at this point, self’s gift for (ahem) bilious satire kicks in, its target largely the ‘slapstick of addiction’ – for which the reformed junky has witheringly little time...self has all the fun you’d expect with this, and the result is satire so vicious it makes charlie brooker look restrained." ==stories== foie humain the story plots the lives and some key events of the regulars at the plantation club in blore court in london, a place that bears a resemblance to the colony room. these include the acquisition of a bar boy called hilary, trips to the art exhibitions or plays of the regulars and funerals for some of the regulars. everybody in the story is either a hard drinker or being groomed to be one. the decay and detritus that builds up within the club over the years parallels the build up and eventual decay in (the plantation club landlord) val carmichael's liver. the regulars are all profane in their language and are refer

wholly smoke is a 1938 looney tunes cartoon starring porky pig and directed by frank tashlin. the run time is 7 minutes 14 seconds (6 minutes 56 seconds for the edited, redrawn version). this episode teaches about the dangers of smoking. ==plot== the episode starts with a man at church ringing the bell to signal the beginning of the service. the scene shifts to the house of porky pig whose mother is calling to him to come downstairs. a younger porky comes flying down the handrail of the stairs just stopping before crashing into a vase. his mother proceeds to give him a nickel for the collection plate at church including a disclaimer about not spending the money on candy. porky reassures his mother and leaves. along the way he runs into a bully standing alongside a wooden fence. the bully is practicing smoking tricks with a cigar when porky arrives and chides him for smoking while underage. the bully then gets in porky's face sarcastically accusing him of being a tough guy. after a few moments of arguing porky offers a bet to prove he is not a wimp. the deal being the cigar for the nickel. enticed by the proposition, the bully quickly gives up his cigar. porky in turn tries to repeat the same set of tricks — with disastrous results. porky soon goes into a haze and stumbles into a smoke shop. an anthropomorphic cloud shrinks porky in size and then introduces himself as someone all smokers were well acquainted with, "nick o'teen". nick then offers porky all the smoking he can handle, and suddenly, a wide variety of tobacco products and smoking devices come to life to force feed porky everything from chewing tobacco to cigarettes, all set to the song "little boys shouldn't smoke". at the culmination of the nightmare porky awakens and rushes to church. as he is sitting reading his hymnal the collection plate starts coming towards him when he starts to panic. he races out of the church and grabs the nickel from the bully. he thrusts the cigar into the bully's mouth as it promptly explodes. he hurries back to church just in time to give his offering and the cartoon ends with him promising never to smoke again. ==edited versions== *the version of this cartoon that aired on nickelodeon, the syndicated merrie melodies show
