Qumran is an archaeological site in the West Bank by the nation of Israel. It is best known as the settlement nearest to the Qumran Caves where the Dead Sea Scrolls were kept. The excavations were carried out by Roland de Vaux in the 1950s, though several later works at the site have since been carried out. The Biblical documents found at Qumran have been very useful to scholars of the Bible, Judaism and Christianity, as it allows them to understand the history of the Jewish community that lived there as well as the history of the Bible (such as which books were part of the canon or when certain books were written).

Vilayanur Subramanian Ramachandran, also called V.S. Ramachandran (born 1951) is an Indian scientist and educator.  He has written more than 180 scientific research papers.  He co-discovered the mirror neuron, is a nerve cell that helps human beings understand other human beings' actions.  Richard Dawkins called him "the Marco Polo of Neuroscience." Time magazine called him one of the 100 most influential people in the world.

Ramachandran is the director of the Center for Brain and Cognition at the University of California, San Diego, distinguished professor in the Psychology Department and Neurosciences Program at the University of California, San Diego, and adjunct professor of biology at the Salk Institute.  He is an Honorary Fellow of the Royal College of Physicians.

Early life

Ramachandran was born in Tamil Nadu, in India.  His father was a diplomat.  His grandfather, Alladi Krishnaswamy Iyer, helped write India's constitution.  When Ramachandran was a child, he collected shells and fossils.  He sent his fossils to the American Museum of Natural History.  When he was an adult, the dinosaur Minotaurasaurus ramachandrani was named after him.

Career

At first, Ramachandran learned to be a medical doctor (MBBS) at Stanley medical Collage in Madras in India.  He became a research scientist later.  He earned a Ph.D. at the University of Cambridge's Trinity College.

Ramachandran helped discover the mirror neuron, a type of brain cell that does not work the same way in autistic people.  He also figured out how to help people with phantom pain.  A person who is missing part of their body, for example a hand, may feel as if the hand is still there.  They may feel hot or cold or as if their hand is closed too tight.  This is called a phantom limb.  They may feel pain in their hand, even though it is not there.  Really, it is the brain's sensory cortex making this pain.  Ramachandran figured out how to use mirrors to trick the person's brain into thinking that the limb was there and healthy, so it would stop hurting.

V.S. Ramachandran wrote many books.  The BBC made one book, Phantoms in the Brain, into a mini-series.

Ramachandran also studies evolution, dinosaurs, plate tectonics, Indian art, and medicine in the 1800s.

Awards

The government of India named Ramachandran Padma Bhushan in the 2000s.  This is India's third-highest honor.

Family

Ramachandran married Diane Rogers-Ramachandran in 1987.  She is an experimental psychologist, and she and Ramachandran have performed experiments together.  They have two sons, Chandramani and Jaya.

Traditional pop, also called standard music, is a genre (or type) of Western popular music that was popular before the beginning of rock and roll in the middle of 1950s. The most popular and ever-lasting songs during this period of music are also known as pop standards or American standards.

About 
The works of these songwriters are usually considered part of the great pieces known as the "Great American Songbook". In general, the word "standard" means any popular song that has become very widely known within our basic culture.

"Traditional pop" is now also currently used for standard music, as one category of popular music in Grammy Awards. AllMusic defines traditional pop as "post-big band and pre-rock & roll pop music."

History 
On the Broadway, Tin Pan Alley, and Hollywood show in the 1930s and 1940s, a number of popular songs were written by many songwriters - such as: Irving Berlin, Frederick Loewe, Victor Herbert, Harry Warren, Harold Arlen, Jerome Kern, George Gershwin and Ira Gershwin, Richard Rodgers and Lorenz Hart, Oscar Hammerstein, Johnny Mercer, Dorothy Fields, Hoagy Carmichael and Cole Porter.

Good improvements were added then. These are string sections or orchestral parts and put more importance on the vocal presentation before the listenners. In this way, rich sounds of strings can be heard in much of the popular music throughout the 1940s and 1950s. Songs made by these writers became popular among people in America. Some of these are now forgotten, but others called standards by people at present time.

In 1960s, rock and roll appeared in music scene and became more popular than such standard music. But some singers like Frank Sinatra, Doris Day, Tony Bennett and others still remained popular on television and radio. 

Harry Nilsson recorded an album "A Little Touch of Schmilsson In the Night" in 1973 with orchestra by Gordon Jenkins. In 1980s, Linda Ronstadt, a popular female singer sang and recorded albums of standard songs. She performed with Nelson Riddle orchestra. Recordings by Rod Stewart's It Had to Be You: The Great American Songbook, Willie Nelson's Stardust and Carly Simon's Torch were made public. These were great successes on the music scene.

Le Chaudron infernal is a French silent trick movie made in 1903. It was directed by  Georges Méliès. In  Britain it was released as The Infernal Cauldron and in the United States as The Infernal Caldron and the Phantasmal Vapors. It was released by Méliès's Star Film Company and is numbered 499–500 in its catalogues.

Plot 
In a Renaissance chamber decorated with devilish faces and a warped coat of arms, a gleeful Satan throws three human victims into a cauldron, which spews out flames. The victims rise from the cauldron as nebulous ghosts, and then turn into fireballs. The fireballs multiply and pursue Satan around the chamber. Finally Satan himself leaps into the infernal cauldron, which gives off a final burst of flame.

Versions 

The movies Meliès did before 1903 were often pirated by  American producers. This is especially true for his popular movie A Trip to the Moon.  To fight against this product piracy, Méliès opened an American branch of his Star Film Company. He began producing two negatives of each movie he made: one for home markets, and one for foreign release. To produce the two separate negatives, Méliès built a special camera that used two lenses and two reels of film.

In the 2000s, researchers at the French film company Lobster Films noticed that Méliès's two-lens system was a fully functional, stereo film camera.  3D versions of Meliè' movies could e made by combining the domestic and foreign prints of the film. Serge Bromberg, the founder of Lobster Films, presented 3D versions of The Infernal Cauldron and another 1903 Méliès film, The Oracle of Delphi, at a January 2010 presentation at the Cinémathèque Française. According to the film critic Kristin Thompson, "the effect of 3D was delightful … the films as synchronized by Lobster looked exactly as if Méliès had designed them for 3D." Bromberg screened both films again—as well as the 1906 Méliès film The Mysterious Retort, similarly prepared for 3D—at a September 2011 presentation at the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences.
