identity to the converts.", "It isn't just the doctrines of South Africa's mainstream and Pentecostal churches that differ.", "The way they have been trying to convert members of the South African Indian community to Christianity since the early 20th century has contrasted widely.", "Back then, the mainstream Christian churches provided clinics, hospitals and schools.", "Yet these material benefits yielded hardly any converts, as is evident from the low percentage of Christians (4% of the total Indian community) in the mid-19th and early 20th centuries.", "The Pentecostals had a

Centre and the Divine Life Society, have emphasised the departure from old ritual belief systems to a more philosophical understanding of Hinduism.", "These neo-Hindu movements believed that ordinary Hindus lacked the more enlightened understanding of Hinduism \u2013 an understanding, they maintained, that was present only in the sacred texts of Hindu philosophy.", "These texts emphasised the oneness of divinity.", "They also dismissed worship of multiple gods in temples, saying it was based on ignorance.", "In research conducted by JH Hofmeyr and GC Oosthuizen in 1981, a shift towards a more philosophical approach to Hinduism was visible.", "More than 88% of Hindus affirmed a monotheistic understanding of God in Hinduism as opposed to only about 11% admitting to polytheistic notions.", "## Pentecostal inroads", "Despite the Hindu reform efforts, the Indian Christian number grew from 4% in 1925 to 24.4% in 2011, with the Pentecostals making the most significant inroads.",

Oosthuizen survey, the majority of Hindus in the Durban township of Chatsworth seemed to acknowledge that \"Jesus was the only son of God.\"", "In other words, they seemed to know the claim by Christians that Jesus is the only son of God and hence the path to salvation.", "The authors tempered their analysis by suggesting that \"assent to the belief did not imply consent to the exclusivist claim of Christianity\".", "Still, the Hindu religious life based on rituals in temples and shrines continued to flourish.", "It continues to be evident during the festivals of fire-walking rituals at which some Hindus illustrate affirmation of their faith in their deities.", "In more recent times the South African Hindu Maha Sabha, now the official organ under which all Hindu associations in the country fall, has held conferences on Hinduism to educate the faith's youth.", "## Absence of caste", "In South Africa, Indians who were Christian largely came from the barracks and mill stations during the colonial period.", "It is commonly perceived that they belonged to a lower order of society.", "In the case of Indian Anglicans in Natal, Arun Andrew John in his doctoral thesis argued that the converts were more interested in a change of social identity.", "They hoped that the conversion would bring them from being lower-caste groups to social equality.", "However, it must be noted that neither in India nor in South Africa was a significant change in social identity visible as a result of conversion to Christianity.", "It is important to note that a new social identity, which the converts to Christianity sought through conversion to escape social discrimination, did not seem to have come to fruition.", "Old social disparities continue to plague the local Indian community, despite the absence of caste as an organising social unit.", "The discrimination now seems based on religious distinctions as well as class.", "Within the Indian community it is difficult to separate religious and class distinctions, as most Christians happen to be from economically disadvantaged backgrounds.", "Therefore, Christian identity implicitly follows the status of a lower rung.",

originally requested by local farmers.", "Like India, Natal was a British colony.", "Most of them were Hindus, although not exclusively so.", "The 19th century immigration of Indian labourers brought two types of immigrants \u2013 \"indentured\" workers and \"passenger\" Indians.", "The latter group came at their own expense.", "They were largely traders and over time became an economic force to reckon with.", "South Africa's Indian population currently stands at 1,286,930 (2.5% of the overall population).", "The Indian community can be culturally divided into four broad groups along linguistic lines: Tamil, Telugu, Hindi and Gujarati.", "They are divided along the following major religions: Hindu (41.3%), Muslim (24.6%) and Christian (24.4%).", "The interplay between Hinduism and Christianity in the predominantly Hindu Indian community, and in particular the contentious issue of conversion, has been the subject of great debate and intense research.", "In this second article of a two part-series, Professor Pratap Kumar, of South Africa's University of KwaZulu-Natal, assesses whether the mainly Pentecostal conversions of South Africa's Indian community provided a new social identity to the converts.", "It isn't just the doctrines of South Africa's mainstream and Pentecostal churches that differ.", "The way they have been trying to convert members of the South African Indian community to Christianity since the early 20th century has contrasted widely.", "Back then, the mainstream Christian churches provided clinics, hospitals and schools.", "Yet these material benefits yielded hardly any converts, as is evident from the low percentage of Christians (4% of the total Indian community) in the mid-19th and early 20th centuries.", "The Pentecostals had a different approach.", "Instead of being involved in community service, they placed emphasis on critiquing Hindu belief systems and caste practices.", "They also focused on healing and exorcism.", "It paid off.", "Between 1925 and 1980 the Indian membership of the Pentecostal churches grew larger than all the other Christian denominations put together.", "There were three main Pentecostal groups active in the Indian community in the earlier part of the 20th century:", "the United Pentecostal Church;", "the Apostolic Faith Mission; and", "the Assemblies of God.", "## Making Hinduism more attractive", "In response, Hindu reform organisations worked hard to make Hinduism more attractive to their own followers.", "Many of these organisations, such as the Arya Samaj, the Ramakrishna Centre and the Divine Life Society, have emphasised the departure from old ritual belief systems to a more philosophical understanding of Hinduism.", "These neo-Hindu movements believed that ordinary Hindus lacked the more enlightened understanding of Hinduism \u2013 an understanding, they maintained, that was present only in the sacred texts of Hindu philosophy.", "These texts emphasised the oneness of divinity.", "They also dismissed worship of multiple gods in temples, saying it was based on ignorance.", "In research conducted by JH Hofmeyr and GC Oosthuizen in 1981, a shift towards a more philosophical approach to Hinduism was visible.", "More than 88% of Hindus affirmed a monotheistic understanding of God in Hinduism as opposed to only about 11% admitting to polytheistic notions.", "## Pentecostal inroads", "Despite the Hindu reform efforts, the Indian Christian number grew from 4% in 1925 to 24.4% in 2011, with the Pentecostals making the most significant inroads.", "For a comparative perspective on the different dogmas' performance, let's take three churches from each of the two different persuasions as per South Africa's 2011 national census.", "There were 8,520 Indian members of three mainstream churches, the Anglican Church, the Lutheran Church and the Methodists, together.", "It is a different story on the thriving Pentecostal side of the pew.", "Indians in the Full Gospel Church, the Apostolic Church and the International Fellowship of Christian Churches (an umbrella body of charismatic churches, including the prominent Rhema church) together constituted 36,371 members.", "The penetration of the Pentecostal movements into Hindu society is felt especially in the KwaZulu-Natal Indian townships.", "According to the Hofmeyr and Oosthuizen survey, the majority of Hindus in the Durban township of Chatsworth seemed to acknowledge that \"Jesus was the only son of God.\"", "In other words, they seemed to know the claim by Christians that Jesus is the only son of God and hence the path to salvation.", "The authors tempered their analysis by suggesting that \"assent to the belief did not imply consent to the exclusivist claim of Christianity\".", "Still, the Hindu religious life based on rituals in temples and shrines continued to flourish.", "It continues to be evident during the festivals of fire-walking rituals at which some Hindus illustrate affirmation of their faith in their deities.", "In more recent times the South African Hindu Maha Sabha, now the official organ under which all Hindu associations in the country fall, has held conferences on Hinduism to educate the faith's youth.", "## Absence of caste", "In South Africa, Indians who were Christian largely came from the barracks and mill stations during the colonial period.", "It is commonly perceived that they belonged to a lower order of society.", "In the case of Indian Anglicans in Natal, Arun Andrew John in his doctoral thesis argued that the converts were more interested in a change of social identity.", "They hoped that the conversion would bring them from being lower-caste groups to social equality.", "However, it must be noted that neither in India nor in South Africa was a significant change in social identity visible as a result of conversion to Christianity.", "It is important to note that a new social identity, which the converts to Christianity sought through conversion to escape social discrimination, did not seem to have come to fruition.", "Old social disparities continue to plague the local Indian community, despite the absence of caste as an organising social unit.", "The discrimination now seems based on religious distinctions as well as class.", "Within the Indian community it is difficult to separate religious and class distinctions, as most Christians happen to be from economically disadvantaged backgrounds.", "Therefore, Christian identity implicitly follows the status of a lower rung.", "Conversely, not all Hindus may be economically better off.", "But there seems to be a sense inherent in the Indian society that those who became Christian through conversion were not only poor but also socially inferior.", "And this perhaps has to do with the remnants of caste consciousness that prevails even after its formal demise as a social unit.", "In addition to this, Christians feel that

Davenport retired shortly thereafter and was replaced by Phillip Wilson. \n The eight-piece lineup released \"The Resurrection of Pigboy Crabshaw\" in 1967 and \"In My Own Dream\" in 1968. Bishop and Naftalin left shortly after the release of the latter, with Howard \"Buzz\" Feiten brought in as their replacement. Early the next year, Maugh made way for Rod Hicks and Steve Madaio joined as a second trumpeter. By the summer, the group had also added keyboardist Ted Harris and third saxophonist Trevor Lawrence.

The court decided that this location was not convenient to all sections of the county and, in order to change the location, the above act of the Assembly was passed. As a result of this act, two acres of land were purchased from Philemon Armstrong, at a cost of 5,000 pounds of tobacco. Upon this tract, the same plot upon which the present Talbot County Court House now stands, the court house, a brick building 20 x 30 feet, was erected at a cost of 115,000 pounds of tobacco. The courts of the county were held in this building from 1712 until 1794. A tavern to accommodate those who attended court was one of the first buildings erected; stores and dwellings followed. The village was then known as \"Talbot Court House\". These were not the first buildings in the area. The frame meeting house of the Society of Friends was built between 1682 and 1684. The Wye plantation was settled in the 1650's by Welsh Puritan and wealthy planter Edward Lloyd and is owned and occupied by the 11th generation of that family.

It was the fourth season to feature entirely returning players, following \"Survivor: All-Stars\", \"Survivor: Heroes vs. Villains\", and \"Survivor: Cambodia\" and was the 11th season overall to feature returning players. This season introduced several alterations to the game format. The process for resolving a tied vote was changed for this season, removing the second ballot where only non-tied castaways were allowed to vote between the tied castaways and proceeding directly to the procedure to resolve a deadlocked tie: an open deliberation between non-tied voters.

In this role he oversaw the design and construction of the mail ship \"SS Governor Blackall\", personally commissioned for the Queensland government by the Premier Charles Lilley in 1869. The Sydney-built but Queensland-owned ship was an attempt to break what was later described as the \"capricious monopoly\" of the Australasian Steam Navigation Company on coastal trade and mail delivery from England. However, it ultimately caused the political downfall of Lilley as he had undertaken the contract without consulting his colleagues. \n Selfe left Mort's in 1877 to practise as a consulting engineer at 141 Pitt Street, gaining a reputation for versatility and originality. Upon his return from an overseas trip through America, Britain and continental Europe in 1884\u201385, where he visited engineering works and technical education facilities in search of new ideas to take back to Sydney, Selfe set up a new office in Lloyd's Chambers at 348 George Street.

They designed and built major installations for the Australasian Mineral Oil Company, the Western Kerosene Oil Company and the Australian Gas Light Company. In 1869 Selfe was appointed to the senior post of \"chief draftsman and scientific engineer\" at Mort's Dock and Engineering Company in Balmain. In this role he oversaw the design and construction of the mail ship \"SS Governor Blackall\", personally commissioned for the Queensland government by the Premier Charles Lilley in 1869. The Sydney-built but Queensland-owned ship was an attempt to break what was later described as the \"capricious monopoly\" of the Australasian Steam Navigation Company on coastal trade and mail delivery from England. However, it ultimately caused the political downfall of Lilley as he had undertaken the contract without consulting his colleagues. \n Selfe left Mort's in 1877 to practise as a consulting engineer at 141 Pitt Street, gaining a reputation for versatility and originality. Upon his return from an overseas trip through America, Britain and continental Europe in 1884\u201385, where he visited engineering works and technical education facilities in search of new ideas to take back to Sydney, Selfe set up a new office in Lloyd's Chambers at 348 George Street. He would later move to No. 279 where he operated the consultancy until his death in 1911. In the late 1890s he employed William Dixson as an engineer."}} {"label": "partially_supported", "supporting_sentences": [[97], [103, 105]], "claim": "The announcement took place in Bayamon, Puerto Rico.", "evidence": ["(meta data) TITLE: NBA star Carmelo Anthony buys NASL side Puerto Rico FC - ESPN FC", "(meta data) PUBLISHED DATETIME: 2017-11-01T14:02:00-08:00", "ESPN FC", "UK Edition", "Site Terms", "English Premier League", "English Premier League", "Wolverhampton Wanderers", "Manchester United", "12:00 PM UTC", "Game Details", "Live football odds with bet365.", "Bet Now \u00bb", "## NASL suit against USSF members dismissed", "United States", "Jan 3, 2019", "Jeff Carlisle", "## USSF won't alter sanctioning for NASL proposal", "North American Soccer League", "Jun 1, 2018", "Jeff Carlisle", "## Deadline over $500m NASL revamp extended", "North American Soccer League", "May 24, 2018", "Jeff Carlisle", "## Commisso, U.S. Soccer in stalemate over offer", "North American Soccer League", "May 9, 2018", "Jeff Carlisle", "## Cosmos owner offers USSF investment deal", "North American Soccer League", "Apr 30, 2018", "ESPN staff", "## NASL holdovers cleared for U.S. Open Cup", "United States Open Cup", "Mar 30, 2018", "Jeff Carlisle", "## Cosmos owner slams 'failed soccer nation'", "New York Cosmos", "Mar 1, 2018", "Jeff Carlisle", "## NASL cancels 2018 season after court ruling", "North American Soccer League", "Feb 27, 2018", "ESPN staff", "## Court denies NASL's appeal for injunction", "North American Soccer League", "Feb 23, 2018", "Jeff Carlisle", "## NASL files suit against U.S. Soccer board", "United States", "Feb 6, 2018", "Jeff Carlisle", "## NASL sends demands letter to U.S. Soccer", "United States", "Feb 5, 2018", "Jeff Carlisle", "## U.S. Soccer faces club's antitrust complaint", "United States", "Jan 19, 2018", "Jeff Carlisle", "## MLS gets 14% of U.S. Soccer vote - sources", "United States", "Jan 16, 2018", "Jeff Carlisle", "## NASL to skip spring season, revise calendar", "North American Soccer League", "Jan 8, 2018", "ESPN staff", "## Orlando signs NASL MVP Pinho from Miami", "Orlando City SC", "Dec 18, 2017", "ESPN staff", "## NASL wants Malik off USSF board post", "North American Soccer League", "Nov 27, 2017", "Jeff Carlisle", "## North Carolina FC completes move to USL", "North Carolina FC", "Nov 16, 2017", "ESPN staff", "San Francisco Deltas", "New York Cosmos", "Game Details", "Live football odds with bet365.", "Bet Now \u00bb", "## NASL injunction denied; future in jeopardy", "North American Soccer League", "Nov 4, 2017", "Jeff Carlisle", "## Judge to decide NASL's Div.

anything more than a curiosity.", "One of the first companies to publicly pledge support for the platform was none other than Electronic Arts.", "### Electronic Arts and Deluxe Paint", "EA founder Trip Hawkins poses with an Amiga 1000", "Those who have firsthand experience with the modern Electronic Arts typically know it as a faceless corporate behemoth, infamous for absorbing, then strangling independent development teams, eliminating competition by paying for exclusive rights to major sports leagues, and working its employees beyond the breaking point.", "They may be surprised to find out that EA originally had quite a different mission and philosophy.", "EA's founder, Trip Hawkins, was actually fighting against the poor treatment of programmers that he witnessed elsewhere in the industry.", "When he launched Electronic Arts in 1982, he envisioned an environment where developers and game designers would be treated like rock stars: promoted in major media, given generous royalties, and allowed to explore wherever their imagination and talent led them.", "Hawkins saw the Amiga as a groundbreaking platform, a brand new canvas that would let his developers create great new works of art.", "In November 1985, he took out a two-page ad in Compute! magazine that extolled the Amiga's virtues and promised that Electronic Arts would be supporting the platform for a whole new generation of games.", "\"I believe this machine, marketed and supported properly, should have a very significant impact on the personal computer industry,\" Hawkins said prophetically in an earlier interview in the same magazine.", "EA's first Amiga product, however, wasn't a game at all, but a game development tool.", "Programmer Dan Silva had been working on an internal graphics editor that was code-named Prism.", "When the Amiga was released, he quickly reworked the program to take advantage of the new computer's stunning graphics capabilities.", "Even before it shipped, Silva was already working on the next version, which would contain many more advanced features.", "This program was Deluxe Paint, and it launched the careers of thousands of computer graphic artists.", "With a simple interface featuring a toolbar on the right-hand side of the screen, Deluxe Paint was a powerful tool that could create not only static graphics, but also animation.", "This made it perfect for creating images for computer and video games, and for a long time Deluxe Paint was the industry standard for creating art for this medium, much like tools such as 3D Studio Max are today.", "Even years later, as the PC gaming market began to eclipse the Amiga in terms of sheer size and number of titles, many game development studios still made their art using Deluxe Paint.", "Its native format, IFF, and animation format, IFF ANIM, are still supported by many graphics packages today.", "IFF ANIM files were compressed using delta encoding, resulting in smaller files.", "This was nearly 10 years before animation compression standards such as MPEG were released.", "But back in 1986, the combination of an Amiga and Deluxe Paint was unbeatable.", "While Adobe's Photoshop on the Macintosh platform would eventually become the standard tool for creating two-dimensional graphic images, the Mac was still a monochrome-only computer at this point, and the PC could barely manage four colors even with a CGA graphics card.", "Again, the Amiga was ahead of its time.", "The cover art for the Deluxe Paint II box featured an image of Tutankhamen that had been created inside the program itself.", "This image quickly became an iconic picture in the computer graphics industry.", "Even Commodore recognized the power of Deluxe Paint, using the Tutankhamen image on a new full-page

spinnerets, immobilising the prey by sticking the victim's limbs and appendages to its own body. The redback spider then trusses the victim with silk. Once its prey is restrained, it is bitten repeatedly on the head, body and leg segments and is then hauled back to the redback spider's retreat. Sometimes a potentially dangerous victim can be left to struggle for hours until it is exhausted enough to approach safely. Male spiders and spiderlings often live on the periphery of the female spiders' web and steal leftovers. Other species of spider and parasitoid wasps prey on this species. The redback is one of few arachnids that usually display sexual cannibalism while mating. \n After mating sperm is stored in the spermathecae, organs of the female reproductive tract, and can be used up to two years later to fertilise several clutches of eggs.

The Wachowskis claimed no influence regarding \"Dark City\", but commented about it and \"The Truman Show\" that they thought it was \"very strange that Australia came to have three films associated with it that were all about the nature of reality.\". \n Comparisons have also been made to Grant Morrison's comic series \"The Invisibles\"; Morrison believes that the Wachowskis essentially plagiarized his work to create the film. The Wachowskis responded that they enjoy the comic but did not use it for inspiration. \n In addition, the similarity of the films' central concept to a device in the long-running series \"Doctor Who\" has also been noted. As in the film, the Matrix of that series (introduced in the 1976 serial \"The Deadly Assassin\") is a massive computer system which one enters using a device connecting to the head, allowing users to see representations of the real world and change its laws of physics; but if killed there, they will die in reality.

The Wachowskis claimed no influence regarding \"Dark City\", but commented about it and \"The Truman Show\" that they thought it was \"very strange that Australia came to have three films associated with it that were all about the nature of reality.\". \n Comparisons have also been made to Grant Morrison's comic series \"The Invisibles\"; Morrison believes that the Wachowskis essentially plagiarized his work to create the film. The Wachowskis responded that they enjoy the comic but did not use it for inspiration. \n In addition, the similarity of the films' central concept to a device in the long-running series \"Doctor Who\" has also been noted. As in the film, the Matrix of that series (introduced in the 1976 serial \"The Deadly Assassin\") is a massive computer system which one enters using a device connecting to the head, allowing users to see representations of the real world and change its laws of physics; but if killed there, they will die in reality.

The Wachowskis claimed no influence regarding \"Dark City\", but commented about it and \"The Truman Show\" that they thought it was \"very strange that Australia came to have three films associated with it that were all about the nature of reality.\". \n Comparisons have also been made to Grant Morrison's comic series \"The Invisibles\"; Morrison believes that the Wachowskis essentially plagiarized his work to create the film. The Wachowskis responded that they enjoy the comic but did not use it for inspiration. \n In addition, the similarity of the films' central concept to a device in the long-running series \"Doctor Who\" has also been noted. As in the film, the Matrix of that series (introduced in the 1976 serial \"The Deadly Assassin\") is a massive computer system which one enters using a device connecting to the head, allowing users to see representations of the real world and change its laws of physics; but if killed there, they will die in reality.

The Wachowskis claimed no influence regarding \"Dark City\", but commented about it and \"The Truman Show\" that they thought it was \"very strange that Australia came to have three films associated with it that were all about the nature of reality.\". \n Comparisons have also been made to Grant Morrison's comic series \"The Invisibles\"; Morrison believes that the Wachowskis essentially plagiarized his work to create the film. The Wachowskis responded that they enjoy the comic but did not use it for inspiration. \n In addition, the similarity of the films' central concept to a device in the long-running series \"Doctor Who\" has also been noted. As in the film, the Matrix of that series (introduced in the 1976 serial \"The Deadly Assassin\") is a massive computer system which one enters using a device connecting to the head, allowing users to see representations of the real world and change its laws of physics; but if killed there, they will die in reality.

territories had too little oversight.", "So they cultivated crew members to collect specimens on the sly.", "Murphy's research shows Petiver employed mostly ship surgeons, who cared for slaves on the voyage across the ocean.", "The surgeons were scientifically educated, she says, and had plenty of free time at ports such as Cartagena, in modern Colombia, and Portobelo, in modern Panama, while their fellow crew members sold slaves and provisioned the ships.", "Petiver usually supplied recruits with kits that included jars for insects and brown paper for pressing plants.", "Compensation included books, medicines, and cash.", "Strikingly, some naturalists also instructed their contacts abroad to train slaves as collectors.", "Slaves often knew about specimens that Europeans didn't and visited areas that Europeans wouldn't.", "Those slaves virtually never got credit for their work, though Petiver did offer to pay them a half-crown ($18 today) for every dozen insects or 12 pence ($7) for every dozen plants.", "Petiver never collected overseas himself, but some scientists did, and they often found themselves in morally compromising positions.", "Henry Smeathman, an idealistic English naturalist, sailed for a slave colony in Sierra Leone in December 1771 and collected for the likes of Joseph Banks, an adviser to King George and longtime president of the Royal Society.", "Among other activities, Smeathman studied the massive termite mounds in western Africa, which stand up to 4 meters high.", "He had rollicking adventures breaking the mounds open and fending off

Flycatcher: Natural History, Slavery, and Empire in the Late Eighteenth Century, by historian Deirdre Coleman of the University of Melbourne in Australia, Smeathman began his journey as a foe of slavery, vowing to tell the truth about \"those little-known and much misrepresented people, the Negroes.\"", "And as a scientist, he considered himself superior to the ignorant, crude slavers he encountered in Sierra Leone.", "(For their part, the slavers thought him barmy for coming all the way to Africa to hunt for bugs and weeds.)", "But Smeathman was utterly dependent on those men for food, protection, and transportation.", "He also got lonely and started to socialize with them, playing whist and backgammon and even golf on a rugged, two-hole course on an offshore island.", "Soon he was hunting goats and enjoying grog-soaked feasts on the beach with the slavers.", "By 1774, he was working for a slaving company based in Liverpool because it greased the wheels for shipping specimens; he even started to trade slaves in exchange for supplies for his expeditions.", "Bit by bit, compromise by compromise, Smeathman became part of the system he once despised.", "Smeathman and others also relied on slavers to haul their precious specimens to Great Britain, packing them onto the same ships as enslaved Africans.", "(Few ships sailed straight back to Europe from Africa, so most specimens reached England via the Caribbean.)", "Perhaps not surprisingly, given how they treated their human cargo, the ships' crews had a spotty record in caring for fragile bugs, plants, and animal skins.", "If the sunlight, heat, humidity, and saltwater didn't destroy the specimens, the worms, ants, and rodents onboard usually did.", "Careless sailors might also smash the specimens by accident or for sport.", "Of the items that arrived safely in England, naturalists were most excited about exotic finds such as ostrich eggs, Goliath beetles, butterflies, sloths, and armadillos.", "But the real treasures, Murphy writes, were drugs such as cinchona bark, which contains quinine, and dyes such as deep-blue indigo and bright-red cochineal.", "The latter, which is extracted from beetles, was worth more per ounce than silver.", "Scientific studies of drugs and dyes often opened new opportunities for slave traders.", "Merchants eagerly sought natural resources to exploit abroad and consulted scientists about the best way to hunt for and cultivate them.", "Quinine and other drugs gleaned from tropical locales, Murphy notes, also helped Europeans survive there.", "And the safer and more profitable a colony was, the more its commercial activity, including slavery, thrived, creating new demand for slaves.", "Scientific research, then, not only depended on colonial slavery, but enabled it and helped expand its reach.", "## The tainted origins of many cabinets of curiosity", "Of all the scientific fields, natural history benefited most from the slave trade, especially botany and entomology.", "One disciple of Linnaeus reported collecting three species new to science within 15 minutes on his first excursion in Sierra Leone.", "The bounty of plants astounded him.", "Doctors affiliated with slavery also collected human remains.", "\"The trade in natural curiosities was widespread, and body parts were definitely part of that,\" says Carolyn Roberts, a historian of science and assistant professor of African American studies at Yale University who's writing a book about the slave trade and medicine.", "\"Doctors would send things to Britain, especially if they had a case they found interesting.\"", "Examples of interesting items included polyps cut from the hands of slaves, patches of dried skin, a fetus taken after a miscarriage, and, according to one old catalog, \"stones extracted from the vagina of a negro African girle.\"", "Those bugs and plants and bits of human beings often ended up in wealthy gentlemen's \"cabinets of curiosity,\" jammed next to Roman coins and gems and whatever else tickled their fancy.", "Other specimens landed in universities or scholarly institutes.", "Newton himself, who's really the paradigm figure of an isolated, nontraveling, sitting-at-his-desk genius, had access to numbers he wouldn't have had access to without the Atlantic slave trade.", "Some historians now refer to those private and institutional collections as the \"big science\" of their day.", "Scholars studied those centralized repositories and then circulated accounts of their research to other scientists.", "Linnaeus drew on such accounts when putting together Systema Naturae in 1735, the book that introduced his famous binomial naming system for flora and fauna.", "A few physical sciences also piggybacked on the slave trade.", "Slave labor built the first major observatory in the Southern Hemisphere, in Cape Town, South Africa.", "Astronomers such as Edmond Halley solicited observations of the moon and stars from slave ports, and geologists collected rocks and minerals there.", "Even a field as rarefied as celestial mechanics benefited from slavery.", "When developing his theory of gravity, Newton studied ocean tides, knowing that the gravitational tug of the moon causes them.", "Newton needed tide readings from all over the globe, and one crucial set of readings came from French slave ports in Martinique.", "Delbourgo says, \"Newton himself, who's really the paradigm figure of an isolated, nontraveling, sitting-at-his-desk genius, had access to numbers he wouldn't have had access to without the Atlantic slave trade.\"", "## Museums grapple with the past", "Many natural history specimens with ties to the slave trade eventually ended up in museums.", "When Petiver died in 1718, a fellow naturalist in London named Hans Sloane snapped up his collection.", "Sloane had collected on slave plantations in Jamaica, and he married into a slaving family whose money enabled more collecting.", "In 1727, he succeeded Newton as president of the Royal Society (which itself invested in slaving companies).", "When Sloane died in 1753, he willed his collection, including Petiver's goods, to the British government, and it became the foundation of the British Museum in London.", "The museum later split into several entities.", "Many of Sloane's specimens went to the Natural History Museum, where they remain today.", "Specimens collected through the slave trade also ended up at the Oxford University Herbaria, Royal Society, and Chelsea Physic Garden, among other places, Murphy reports.", "Representatives for those institutes say it's difficult to put numbers on how many of their specimens have ties to slavery.", "In some cases, they haven't gone through and digitized the records yet, and many old specimens have vague or fragmentary records anyway, making their provenance obscure.", "But documents from the 18th and 19th centuries attest to thousands upon thousands of items pouring into Europe.", "Smeathman alone sent 600 species of plants and 710 species of insects back to England, often with several individuals per species.", "(One of Smeathman's patrons complained about the glut of bugs, writing that Smeathman had sent too many to unpack: \"My House could not possibly contain one half.\")", "And although many old specimens have either disintegrated or been lost, at least some with ties to slavery probably survive in almost every institute in Europe with natural history collections dating back a few centuries.", "In addition to his own collecting, Hans Sloane (pictured) bought up the collections of other naturalists, many of whom used slave ships to reach far-flung places.", "When Sloane died in 1753, his specimens became the founding collection of the British Museum.", "They later ended up in London's Natural History Museum.", "NHM IMAGES", "Those collections aren't just antiquarian curiosities.", "Scientists still consult them to construct phylogenies and do taxonomic work: Many of the collections contain type specimens, the first described individual of a species against which all other individuals are compared.", "The collections are also invaluable for studying plant domestication, historic climate change, and shifts in geographical distributions of species.", "Scientists have even extracted DNA from specimens to study how plants and animals have evolved across the centuries.", "Most scientists, however, remain unaware of the origins of the collections.", "\"Very few people think about how [specimens] were collected, whether they were collected through slave trade routes or otherwise,\" says Stephen Harris, a curator at the Oxford University Herbaria, which houses some of Sloane's goods.", "\"They're simply data points.\"", "In an email, Mark Carine, a curator at the Natural History Museum, noted that institutions such as his have a broader role than just preserving specimens.", "\"As curators, we have a responsibility not only to care for our collections and make them available for research but also to facilitate an understanding of their significance and relevance today.\"", "He adds that Sloane's collection \"is not simply a biological record; it is also a resource for understanding the social and historical context within which science developed, and we are certainly keen to continue working with researchers across disciplines to better understand this.\"", "Still, Murphy and Delbourgo say that even some curators are oblivious to the histories of their collections, and Murphy encountered one who dismissed her work outright.", "Delbourgo emphasizes that his historical research \"isn't an attack on museums\" and that he knows museum staff are often \"under-resourced and overworked.\"", "But, he adds, \"Museums have been bad\" about acknowledging the dubious origins of many items.", "\"They have dragged their feet enormously.\"", "Now that the link between early science and slavery has come to light, an important question remains: What should scientists do about it?", "Historians say acknowledgment is a start: In research papers, scientists should mention how specimens were gathered.", "Taking the origin of specimens into account can also improve the research itself, especially given the paucity of collecting records in some cases.", "For example, Murphy mentions that the slave trade can help explain the geographic distributions of certain specimens.", "African plants, for instance, wouldn't have been collected from all over the continent, but from specific points along the coast\u2014the ports where countries were shipping slaves.", "\"From a scientific point of view, your specimen is essentially a piece of evidence,\" Harris adds, \"and the more you know about the provenance of that piece of evidence and the better understanding you have \u2026 the better you can use it within your analyses.\"", "The connections between science and the slave trade could also feed into ongoing debates about reparations and the historical legacies of slavery.", "Like some U.K. organizations, U.S. universities such as Yale, Georgetown, and Brown have acknowledged how they benefited from slavery.", "For the most part, Murphy says, those conversations are framed \"in terms of just dollars and cents, pounds and pence.", "Yet [the profits] can also clearly be measured in specimens collected and papers published.\"", "Overall, she says, \"Modern science and the transatlantic slave trade were two of the most important factors in the shaping of the modern world.\"", "Historians are finally recognizing that they shaped each other as well.", "As Delbourgo says, \"We've been so negligent in bringing these histories [of slavery and science] together.", "We've missed that they are in fact the same history.\"", "## Got a tip?", "How to contact the news team", "## ScienceInsider", "##

for good.", "We tend to forget the ways in which that isn't the case.\"", "James Delbourgo, a historian at Rutgers University in New Brunswick, New Jersey, who has written extensively about slavery and science, agrees.", "He argues that the belief in the progressive nature of science has made historians reluctant to take a critical look at its past.", "\"This is a hard story for us to deal with,\" he says.", "He adds that academic specialization also prevented many people from seeing what, in retrospect, seem like obvious connections: \"Slave trade historians don't know about science, and vice versa.\"", "There's a tendency to think about the history of science in this\u2014I don't want to say triumphant, but\u2014progressive way, that it's always a force for good.", "We tend to forget the ways in which that isn't the case.", "Those connections aren't just ancient history.", "Thousands of specimens collected through the slave trade still reside in places such as the Natural History Museum in London, and they're still used in genetic and taxonomic research.", "Yet few people using the collections know of their origins.", "All of which casts an uncomfortable shadow on what's often viewed as a heroic era in science.", "\"We do not often think of the wretched, miserable, and inhuman spaces of slave ships as simultaneously being spaces of natural history,\" Murphy writes in The William and Mary Quarterly.", "\"Yet Petiver's museum suggests that this is exactly what they were.\"", "## Compromises to gain access to distant lands", "Slavery is as old as civilization, but the transatlantic slave trade between the 1500s and 1800s was particularly brutal.", "Estimates vary, but at least 10 million Africans were enslaved, with roughly half dying on the way to slave ports or on voyages across the ocean.", "Statistics alone can't capture the cruelty and squalor of slave ships, though.", "Men and women were chained up for weeks in hot, filthy holds, where diseases ran rampant and punishment for disobedience was harsh.", "Sharks reportedly followed ships on journeys, having learned that a slave or two would probably be tossed overboard\u2014or commit suicide\u2014at some point.", "Why did scientists align themselves with that horror?", "Access.", "European governments did sometimes sponsor scientific expeditions, but most ships visiting Africa and the Americas were private vessels engaged in the \"triangular trade.\"", "That three-way exchange sent guns and manufactured goods to Africa; slaves to the Americas; and dyes, drugs, and sugar back to Europe.", "To gain access to Africa and the Americas, scientists had to hitch rides on slave ships.", "Upon arrival, the naturalists also relied on slavers for food, shelter, mail, equipment, and local transport.", "France, Portugal, and the Netherlands captured and sold slaves, Murphy notes.", "But most historians studying science and slavery focus on Great Britain, which in the 1700s boasted the world's biggest and most powerful fleets, had adventurous scientists and collectors, and was a major participant in the slave trade.", "Spain controlled most of South and Central America then, but it lacked colonies in Africa and therefore couldn't import slaves directly.", "So it contracted that job out to various groups, including the British in the early 1700s, buying up to 4800 Africans per year.", "## When people were traded like goods", "In the \"triangular trade\" of the 16th through 19th centuries, millions of people were shipped to the Americas as slaves, raw materials were transported to Europe, and manufactured goods went to Africa.", "The three-way trade provided European collectors access to specimens from Africa and the Americas.", "Tobacco, rice, cotton", "Guns, textiles", "Sugar, molasses", "Africans shipped to America", "Colonizing nations", "Sierra Leone", "Windward Coast", "Gold Coast", "Bight of Benin", "Bight of Biafra", "West central Africa", "Southeast Africa", "NORTH AMERICA", "SOUTH AMERICA", "Trade routes", "The Netherlands", "CARIBBEAN ISLANDS", "(MAP) AFRICAN SLAVE TRADE, 1500\u20131870/PEARSON EDUCATION, INC., ADAPTED BY N. DESAI/SCIENCE; (DATA) TRANS-ATLANTIC SLAVE TRADE DATABASE/EMORY CENTER FOR DIGITAL SCHOLARSHIP", "When British slave ships arrived in Latin America, the crews had strict orders to stay at port and not poke around, mostly because Spain wanted to protect its monopoly on certain lucrative natural resources.", "But naturalists such as Petiver knew Spain had no way to enforce that rule\u2014the territories had too little oversight.", "So they cultivated crew members to collect specimens on the sly.", "Murphy's research shows Petiver employed mostly ship surgeons, who cared for slaves on the voyage across the ocean.", "The surgeons were scientifically educated, she says, and had plenty of free time at ports such as Cartagena, in modern Colombia, and Portobelo, in modern Panama, while their fellow crew members sold slaves and provisioned the ships.", "Petiver usually supplied recruits with kits that included jars for insects and brown paper for pressing plants.", "Compensation included books, medicines, and cash.", "Strikingly, some naturalists also instructed their contacts abroad to train slaves as collectors.", "Slaves often knew about specimens that Europeans didn't and visited areas that Europeans wouldn't.", "Those slaves virtually never got credit for their work, though Petiver did offer to pay them a half-crown ($18 today) for every dozen insects or 12 pence ($7) for every dozen plants.", "Petiver never collected overseas himself, but some scientists did, and they often found themselves in morally compromising positions.", "Henry Smeathman, an idealistic English naturalist, sailed for a slave colony in Sierra Leone in December 1771 and collected for the likes of Joseph Banks, an adviser to King George and longtime president of the Royal Society.", "Among other activities, Smeathman studied the massive termite mounds in western Africa, which stand up to 4 meters high.", "He had rollicking adventures breaking the mounds open and fending off attacks from angry, biting termite soldiers.", "European scientists in South America often relied on black or native people to collect for them.", "In an illustration from 1806, three Africans in Suriname kill and flay a gigantic snake while a European scientist stands back and directs.", "THE JOHN CARTER BROWN LIBRARY AT BROWN UNIVERSITY", "As detailed in the 2018 book Henry Smeathman, the Flycatcher: Natural History, Slavery, and Empire in the Late Eighteenth Century, by historian Deirdre Coleman of the University of Melbourne in Australia, Smeathman began his journey as a foe of slavery, vowing to tell the truth about \"those little-known and much misrepresented people, the Negroes.\"", "And as a scientist, he considered himself superior to the ignorant, crude slavers he encountered in Sierra Leone.", "(For their part, the slavers thought him barmy for coming all the way to Africa to hunt for bugs and weeds.)", "But Smeathman was utterly dependent on those men for food, protection, and transportation.", "He also got lonely and started to socialize with them, playing whist and backgammon and even golf on a rugged, two-hole course on an offshore island.", "Soon he was hunting goats and enjoying grog-soaked feasts on the beach with the slavers.", "By 1774, he was working for a slaving company based in Liverpool because it greased the wheels for shipping specimens; he even started to trade slaves in exchange for supplies for his expeditions.", "Bit by bit, compromise by compromise, Smeathman became part of the system he once despised.", "Smeathman and others also relied on slavers to haul their precious specimens to Great Britain, packing them onto the same ships as enslaved Africans.", "(Few ships sailed straight back to Europe from Africa, so most specimens reached England via the Caribbean.)", "Perhaps not surprisingly, given how they treated their human cargo, the ships' crews had a spotty record in caring for fragile bugs, plants, and animal skins.", "If the sunlight, heat, humidity, and saltwater didn't destroy the specimens, the worms, ants, and rodents onboard usually did.", "Careless sailors might also smash the specimens by accident or for sport.", "Of the items that arrived safely in England, naturalists were most excited about exotic finds such as ostrich eggs, Goliath beetles, butterflies, sloths, and armadillos.", "But the real treasures, Murphy writes, were drugs such as cinchona bark, which contains quinine, and dyes such as deep-blue indigo and bright-red cochineal.", "The latter, which is extracted from beetles, was worth more per ounce than silver.", "Scientific studies of drugs and dyes often opened new opportunities for slave traders.", "Merchants eagerly sought natural resources to exploit abroad and consulted scientists about the best way to hunt for and cultivate them.", "Quinine and other drugs gleaned from tropical locales, Murphy notes, also helped Europeans survive there.", "And the safer and more profitable a colony was, the more its commercial activity, including slavery, thrived, creating new demand for slaves.", "Scientific research, then, not only depended on colonial slavery, but enabled it and helped expand its reach.", "## The tainted origins of many cabinets of curiosity", "Of all the scientific fields, natural history benefited most from the slave trade, especially botany and entomology.", "One disciple of Linnaeus reported collecting three species new to science within 15 minutes on his first excursion in Sierra Leone.", "The bounty of plants astounded him.", "Doctors affiliated with slavery also collected human remains.", "\"The trade in natural curiosities was widespread, and body parts were definitely part of that,\" says Carolyn Roberts, a historian of science and assistant professor of African American studies at Yale University who's writing a book about the slave trade and medicine.", "\"Doctors would send things to Britain, especially if they had a case they found interesting.\"", "Examples of interesting items included polyps cut from the hands of slaves, patches of dried skin, a fetus taken after a miscarriage, and, according to one old catalog, \"stones extracted from the vagina of a negro African girle.\"", "Those bugs and plants and bits of human beings often ended up in wealthy gentlemen's \"cabinets of curiosity,\" jammed next to Roman coins and gems and whatever else tickled their fancy.", "Other specimens landed in universities or scholarly institutes.", "Newton himself, who's really the paradigm figure of an isolated, nontraveling, sitting-at-his-desk genius, had access to numbers he wouldn't have had access to without the Atlantic slave trade.", "Some historians now refer to those private and institutional collections as the \"big science\" of their day.", "Scholars studied those centralized repositories and then circulated accounts of their research to other scientists.", "Linnaeus drew on such accounts when putting together Systema Naturae in 1735, the book that introduced his famous binomial naming system for flora and fauna.", "A few physical sciences also piggybacked on the slave trade.", "Slave labor built the first major observatory in the Southern Hemisphere, in Cape Town, South Africa.", "Astronomers such as Edmond Halley solicited observations of the moon and stars from slave ports, and geologists collected rocks and minerals there.", "Even a field as rarefied as celestial mechanics benefited from slavery.", "When developing his theory of gravity, Newton studied ocean tides, knowing that the gravitational tug of the moon causes them.", "Newton needed tide readings from all over the globe, and one crucial set of readings came from French slave ports in Martinique.", "Delbourgo says, \"Newton himself, who's really the paradigm figure of an isolated, nontraveling, sitting-at-his-desk genius, had access to numbers he wouldn't have had access to without the Atlantic slave trade.\"", "## Museums grapple with the past", "Many natural history specimens with ties to the slave trade eventually ended up in museums.", "When Petiver died in 1718, a fellow naturalist in London named Hans Sloane snapped up his collection.", "Sloane had collected on slave plantations in Jamaica, and he married into a slaving family whose money enabled more collecting.", "In 1727, he succeeded Newton as president of the Royal Society (which itself invested in slaving companies).", "When Sloane died in 1753, he willed his collection, including Petiver's goods, to the British government, and it became the foundation of the British Museum in London.", "The museum later split into several entities.", "Many of Sloane's specimens went to the Natural History Museum, where they remain today.", "Specimens collected through the slave trade also ended up at the Oxford University Herbaria, Royal Society, and Chelsea Physic Garden, among other places, Murphy reports.", "Representatives for those institutes say it's difficult to put numbers on how many of their specimens have ties to slavery.", "In some cases, they haven't gone through and digitized the records yet, and many old specimens have vague or fragmentary records anyway, making their provenance obscure.", "But documents from the 18th and 19th centuries attest to thousands upon thousands of items pouring into Europe.", "Smeathman alone sent 600 species of plants and 710 species of insects back to England, often with several individuals per species.", "(One of Smeathman's patrons complained about the glut of bugs, writing that Smeathman had sent too many to unpack: \"My House could not possibly contain one half.\")", "And although many old specimens have either disintegrated or been lost, at least some with ties to slavery probably survive in almost every institute in Europe with natural history collections dating back a few centuries.", "In addition to his own collecting, Hans Sloane (pictured) bought up the collections of other naturalists, many of whom used slave ships to reach far-flung places.", "When Sloane died in 1753, his specimens became the founding collection of the British Museum.", "They later ended up in London's Natural History Museum.", "NHM IMAGES", "Those collections aren't just antiquarian curiosities.", "Scientists still consult them to construct phylogenies and do taxonomic work: Many of the collections contain type specimens, the first described individual of a species against which all other individuals are compared.", "The collections are also invaluable for studying plant domestication, historic climate change, and shifts in geographical distributions of species.", "Scientists have even extracted DNA from specimens to study how plants and animals have evolved across the centuries.", "Most scientists, however, remain unaware of the origins of the collections.", "\"Very few people think about how [specimens] were collected, whether they were collected through slave trade routes or otherwise,\" says Stephen Harris, a curator at the Oxford University Herbaria, which houses some of Sloane's goods.", "\"They're simply data points.\"", "In an email, Mark Carine, a curator at the Natural History Museum, noted that institutions such as his have a broader role than just preserving specimens.", "\"As curators, we have a responsibility not only to care for our collections and make them available for research but also to facilitate an understanding of their significance and relevance today.\"", "He adds that Sloane's collection \"is not simply a biological record; it is also a resource for understanding the social and historical context within which science developed, and we are certainly keen to continue working with researchers across disciplines to better understand this.\"", "Still, Murphy and Delbourgo say that even some curators are oblivious to the histories of their collections, and Murphy encountered one who dismissed her work outright.", "Delbourgo emphasizes that his historical research \"isn't an attack on museums\" and that he knows museum staff are often \"under-resourced and overworked.\"", "But, he adds, \"Museums have been bad\" about acknowledging the dubious origins of many items.", "\"They have dragged their feet enormously.\"", "Now that the link between early science and slavery has come to light, an important question remains: What should scientists do about it?", "Historians say acknowledgment is a start: In research papers, scientists should mention how specimens were gathered.", "Taking the origin of specimens into account can also improve the research itself, especially given the paucity of collecting records in some cases.", "For example, Murphy mentions that the slave trade can help explain the geographic distributions of certain specimens.", "African plants, for instance, wouldn't have been collected from all over the continent, but from specific points along the coast\u2014the ports where countries were shipping slaves.", "\"From a scientific point of view, your specimen is essentially a piece of evidence,\" Harris adds, \"and the more you know about the provenance of that piece of evidence and the better understanding you have \u2026 the better you can use it within your analyses.\"", "The connections between science and the slave trade could also feed into ongoing debates about reparations and the historical legacies of slavery.", "Like some U.K. organizations, U.S. universities such as Yale, Georgetown, and Brown have acknowledged how they benefited from slavery.", "For the most part, Murphy says, those conversations are framed \"in terms of just dollars and cents, pounds and pence.", "Yet [the profits] can also clearly be measured in specimens collected and papers published.\"", "Overall, she says, \"Modern science and the transatlantic slave trade were two of the most important factors in the shaping of the modern world.\"", "Historians are finally recognizing that they shaped each other as well.", "As Delbourgo says, \"We've been so negligent in bringing these histories [of slavery and science] together.", "We've missed that they are in fact the same history.\"", "## Got a tip?", "How to contact the news team", "## ScienceInsider", "##

group that accepts technology, cars, and modern living.", "In fact, as Amish scholar Steven Nolt points out, the New Order Amish would best be considered a subgroup of the Old Order Amish.", "The New Order Amish could be described as more progressive than Old Order Amish in some ways, but more conservative in others.", "### New Order Amish share numerous similarities with Old Order Amish:", "plain

accept", "At the same time, New Order Amish differentiate themselves from Old Order Amish in key ways.", "### Differences between New Order Amish and Old Order Amish include:", "greater openness to telephones in the home-some New Order Amish permit phone lines in the homemore mission-oriented outlook-New Order Amish print their beliefs in pamphlets and may travel abroad for missions workgenerally shorter beards and hair-New Order Amish are more likely to trim hair shorterprofession of assurance of salvation\u2013 New Order Amish hold the belief that one can know the state of his

elaborate buggies-buggies may have rubber tires and decorative moldingSunday School and Bible study-Old Order Amish generally do not hold formal Bible study meetingsLower retention rate-a lower percentage of New Order youth choose to join the Amish church", "### Origins of the New Order Amish", "The New Order Amish originate from a pair of movements in Ohio and Pennsylvania in the 1960s.", "The key driving factors in the Ohio schism were twofold\u2013one was a belief that controversial practices such as tobacco and alcohol use should be eliminated, and that \"clean\" courtship should be implemented for youth (as opposed to the practice of bundling found among some Amish).", "Secondly, reformist Amish wished to introduce a more evangelical element into the church, concerning personal salvation and mission work.", "Amish in this group felt strongly about assurance of salvation, Sunday School, and church outreach.", "The division which occurred in 1966 in Lancaster County shared some similarities with the Ohio division, but was more focused on technology.", "New Order Amish are less commonly known as the \"Amish Brotherhood\".", "Currently, the largest New Order community is found in the Holmes County settlement, consisting of 18 church districts, while the Lancaster County settlement contains just one or two districts.", "There is also a spin-off group found in Holmes County known as the New Order Christian Fellowship, or New New Order.", "### Where do New Order Amish live?", "Nearly 20 New Order Amish church districts are found in Holmes County, Ohio, near the towns of Berlin, Sugarcreek, and elsewhere", "New Order Amish churches can be found in a number of states, with the largest population centered in Holmes County, Ohio, home to 18 church districts.", "Other New Order communities can be found in approximately a dozen states, including Indiana, Pennsylvania, and North Carolina", "New Order Amish are Plain too", "Despite what the name might seem to imply, the New Order Amish share many of the same cultural traits as the Old Order.", "They drive buggies (albeit ones which may be slightly fancier), wear plain clothing (sometimes with more colorful fabrics and for men, more-neatly trimmed beards and hair), speak Pennsylvania Dutch, and generally do not have public electricity in the home.", "New Order homes and barns are similar in appearance to those of Old Order Amish.", "New Order Amish buggies may have decorative fronts", "New Order Amish may be confused with the Beachy Amish, a group which is theologically similar to the Old Order Amish but which accepts a higher degree of technology, including cars.", "### Do New Order Amish use more technology?", "New Order Amish may be more accepting of certain technologies such as phones in the home.", "Amish researchers Hurst and McConnell note that \"the differences in technology use between the Old Order and the New Order are relatively minor\" (Paradox, Hurst/McConnell, p.52).", "Hurst and McConnell also state that car ownership among Old Order youth is more common, as is cell phone usage among Old Order church members.", "Unlike the Old Order, New Order Amish generally do not have any restrictions on air travel, and sometimes use this form of transportation for business or vacation travel.", "### New Order Amish beliefs on Assurance of salvation", "One theological difference is the belief in assurance of salvation.", "Just like other Christians, Amish interpret the idea of salvation differently.", "New Order Amish are among those who see evidence for assurance of being saved, as opposed to the more common belief of a \"living hope\" of salvation seen among most Amish.", "There has been some melding of this view with some Old Order districts in Holmes County in particular, and some of the Old Order districts have come to share similar views on this issue.", "Clean courtship", "Another key issue is that of courtship standards for young people.", "New Order Amish believe strongly in clean courtship, and as detailed above, this was part of the impetus for the Ohio group to break from the Old Order churches.", "In recent times, other Amish, including those from the Old Order have been sympathetic to this view as well.", "For that matter, \"bundling\" (the practice of a courting couple lying together, clothed, on a bed) is confined more to the more conservative Amish groups.", "Alcohol and tobacco", "Another area where the New Order Amish are generally 'cleaner' than the Old Order Amish as a whole is tobacco and alcohol.", "Though numerous Old Order Amish are against involvement with tobacco, some Old Order Amish do grow and even use tobacco.", "New Order Amish universally see this as morally wrong and have come out strongly against it.", "New Order Amish feel that tobacco is destructive to the body, and something that Christians should not be involved in, either in personal use or in producing it for others.", "New Order Amish take similar views on the use of alcohol, which is used, usually in moderation, by some Amish.", "Sunday school", "Another distinguishing marker is Sunday School.", "Most but not all New Order Amish have Sunday school, involving both adults and children, on the \"off\" Sunday (the alternating Sunday when a given district does not hold church service).", "Similarly to an Amish church service, this will take place in a congregant family's home, and will involve some singing as well as reading, with each member taking turns reading a few passages.", "There will also be discussion of the reading, with commentary led by the ministers.", "New Order Amish may have songbooks in both English and German, allowing outsiders to participate.", "Songs are typically faster and more contemporary than those sung from the Ausbund.", "Sunday School is followed by a fellowship meal, like the one that follows church service.", "Old Order Amish use this \"off\" day as a chance to visit relatives or other churches, as well as time for Bible reading and devotions in the home.", "However they have generally not seen the need to devote a formal period to Bible study in the form of Sunday School.", "Organized Sunday school meetings are another way in which New Order Amish resemble more evangelical strains of Christianity.", "### New Order Amish may be more open to outsiders", "In keeping with their somewhat evangelical bent, New Order Amish tend to be more open to outsiders.", "Old Order Amish of course welcome outsiders into their services as the New Order do, but New Order Amish will be more likely to deliver at least part of the sermon in English.", "Some New Order Amish churches, particularly one North Carolina congregation at Yanceyville (now defunct) have attracted a large number of Amish seekers, resulting in a high percentage of members from outside the ethnic body of Amish.", "New Order Amish maintain many similarities with Old Order Amish, including plain dress", "Other New Order Amish are likely to be involved in mission work and even to travel longer distances, owing to the allowance on plane travel.", "Some New Order Amish youth have been involved in teaching English to Old Colony Mennonites in Mexico, for example, while others have done mission work in places as far away as Asia.", "Generally the New Order tends to be more oriented to the world and more accessible to the \"seeker\" community.", "This greater willingness to engage the world is even evident in the publishing sphere.", "The most obvious example is Ohio bishop David Kline, who has published two books on nature and sustainable agriculture, as well as a small farming magazine which has a substantial audience among non-Amish.", "New Order Amish keep a lower percentage of children in the faith", "Statistics show that New Order Amish tend to keep a lower percentage of their children in the faith, somewhere around two-thirds (in comparison to the 80-90% or higher retention rate of other Amish afffiliations).", "This may be because of greater openness to the world through their outreach orientation, and an ideology more closely resembling \"higher\" churches.", "At least partially for this reason, some criticize the New Order Amish as \"Beachy Amish without the cars\".", "New Order and Old Order Amish disagree less today than in the past", "New Order and Old Order Amish are cut from similar cloth and share much in common, including a similar approach to technology, use of horse-and-buggy for travel, and plain dress.", "While the New Order Amish may be considered more \"progressive\" on certain matters of theology, missionary work, and evangelical outlook, and some technology (in some cases), they may be seen as more \"conservative\" when it comes to issues like courtship, alcohol and tobacco, certain technologies such as the cell phone, and in retaining farming as an occupation, which they do at a slightly higher percentage than members of Old Order churches.", "Inside a New Order Amish clothing business", "There have been and continue to be substantial disagreements between the two groups.", "Old Order Amish may see the New Order as taking a holier-than-thou attitude, and being too forward in their assertions about religion, particularly concerning assurance of salvation.", "Hurst and McConnell find that the most common criticism is that New Order churches \"are unstable because their young people are more likely to be lost to other Anabaptist churches\".", "New Order Amish may find fault with Old Order Amish for being too lenient concerning youth behavior, or too reliant on tradition over spiritual truth.", "At the same time, in recent years both sides have begun to see more eye-to-eye on certain issues, particularly in Holmes County, where the two groups live side-by-side and cooperate in many spheres.", "Hurst and McConnell note that \"a sizable number of Old Order individuals, including church leaders, are quite attracted to the New Order positions on both spirituality and control of the youth.\"", "There is also a degree of openness to the idea of assurance of salvation among Old Orders.", "The Amish have a long history of schism, resulting in groups such as the New Order Amish as well as more conservative affiliations such as the Andy Weaver Amish church and the Swartzentruber Amish.", "However, today many Amish seek to play down differences, seeing past church splits as painful parts of their history, while emphasizing common ground.", "For further information, see:", "An Amish Paradox:

New Order Amish", "The New Order Amish originate from a pair of movements in Ohio and Pennsylvania in the 1960s.", "The key driving factors in the Ohio schism were twofold\u2013one was a belief that controversial practices such as tobacco and alcohol use should be eliminated, and that \"clean\" courtship should be implemented for youth (as opposed to the practice of bundling found among some Amish).", "Secondly, reformist Amish wished to introduce a more evangelical element into the church, concerning personal salvation and mission work.", "Amish in this group felt strongly about assurance of salvation, Sunday School, and church outreach.", "The division which occurred in 1966 in Lancaster County shared some similarities with the Ohio division, but was more focused on technology.", "New Order Amish are less commonly known as the \"Amish Brotherhood\".", "Currently, the largest New Order community is found in the Holmes County settlement, consisting of 18 church districts, while the Lancaster County settlement contains just one or two districts.", "There is also a spin-off group found in Holmes County known as the New Order Christian Fellowship, or New New Order.", "### Where do New Order Amish live?", "Nearly 20 New Order Amish church districts are found in Holmes County, Ohio, near the towns of Berlin, Sugarcreek, and elsewhere", "New Order Amish churches can be found in a number of states, with the largest population centered in Holmes County, Ohio, home to 18 church districts.", "Other New Order communities can be found in approximately a dozen states, including Indiana, Pennsylvania, and North Carolina", "New Order Amish are Plain too", "Despite what the name might seem to imply, the New Order Amish share many of the same cultural traits as the Old Order.", "They drive buggies (albeit ones which may be slightly fancier), wear plain clothing (sometimes with more colorful fabrics and for men, more-neatly trimmed beards and hair), speak Pennsylvania Dutch, and generally do not have public electricity in the home.", "New Order homes and barns are similar in appearance to those of Old Order Amish.", "New Order Amish buggies may have decorative fronts", "New Order Amish may be confused with the Beachy Amish, a group which is theologically similar to the Old Order Amish but which accepts a higher degree of technology, including cars.", "### Do New Order Amish use more technology?", "New Order Amish may be more accepting of certain technologies such as phones in the home.", "Amish researchers Hurst and McConnell note that \"the differences in technology use between the Old Order and the New Order are relatively minor\" (Paradox, Hurst/McConnell, p.52).", "Hurst and McConnell also state that car ownership among Old Order youth is more common, as is cell phone usage among Old Order church members.", "Unlike the Old Order, New Order Amish generally do not have any restrictions on air travel, and sometimes use this form of transportation for business or vacation travel.", "### New Order Amish beliefs on Assurance of salvation", "One theological difference is the belief in assurance of salvation.", "Just like other Christians, Amish interpret the idea of salvation differently.", "New Order Amish are among those who see evidence for assurance of being saved, as opposed to the more common belief of a \"living hope\" of salvation seen among most Amish.", "There has been some melding of this view with some Old Order districts in Holmes County in particular, and some of the Old Order districts have come to share similar views on this issue.", "Clean courtship", "Another key issue is that of courtship standards for young people.", "New Order Amish believe strongly in clean courtship, and as detailed above, this was part of the impetus for the Ohio group to break from the Old Order churches.", "In recent times, other Amish, including those from the Old Order have been sympathetic to this view as well.", "For that matter, \"bundling\" (the practice of a courting couple lying together, clothed, on a bed) is confined more to the more conservative Amish groups.", "Alcohol and tobacco", "Another area where the New Order Amish are generally 'cleaner' than the Old Order Amish as a whole is tobacco and alcohol.", "Though numerous Old Order Amish are against involvement with tobacco, some Old Order Amish do grow and even use tobacco.", "New Order Amish universally see this as morally wrong and have come out strongly against it.", "New Order Amish feel that tobacco is destructive to the body, and something that Christians should not be involved in, either in personal use or in producing it for others.", "New Order Amish take similar views on the use of alcohol, which is used, usually in moderation, by some Amish.", "Sunday school", "Another distinguishing marker is Sunday School.", "Most but not all New Order Amish have Sunday school, involving both adults and children, on the \"off\" Sunday (the alternating Sunday when a given district does not hold church service).", "Similarly to an Amish church service, this will take place in a congregant family's home, and will involve some singing as well as reading, with each member taking turns reading a few passages.", "There will also be discussion of the reading, with commentary led by the ministers.", "New Order Amish may have songbooks in both English and German, allowing outsiders to participate.", "Songs are typically faster and more contemporary than those sung from the Ausbund.", "Sunday School is followed by a fellowship meal, like the one that follows church service.", "Old Order Amish use this \"off\" day as a chance to visit relatives or other churches, as well as time for Bible reading and devotions in the home.", "However they have generally not seen the need to devote a formal period to Bible study in the form of Sunday School.", "Organized Sunday school meetings are another way in which New Order Amish resemble more evangelical strains of Christianity.", "### New Order Amish may be more open to outsiders", "In keeping with their somewhat evangelical bent, New Order Amish tend to be more open to outsiders.", "Old Order Amish of course welcome outsiders into their services as the New Order do, but New Order Amish will be more likely to deliver at least part of the sermon in English.", "Some New Order Amish churches, particularly one North Carolina congregation at Yanceyville (now defunct) have attracted a large number of Amish seekers, resulting in a high percentage of members from outside the ethnic body of Amish.", "New Order Amish maintain many similarities with Old Order Amish, including plain dress", "Other New Order Amish are likely to be involved in mission work and even to travel longer distances, owing to the allowance on plane travel.", "Some New Order Amish youth have been involved in teaching English to Old Colony Mennonites in Mexico, for example, while others have done mission work in places as far away as Asia.", "Generally the New Order tends to be more oriented to the world and more accessible to the \"seeker\" community.", "This greater willingness to engage the world is even evident in the publishing sphere.", "The most obvious example is Ohio bishop David Kline, who has published two books on nature and sustainable agriculture, as well as a small farming magazine which has a substantial audience among non-Amish.", "New Order Amish keep a lower percentage of children in the faith", "Statistics show that New Order Amish tend to keep a lower percentage of their children in the faith, somewhere around two-thirds (in comparison to the 80-90% or higher retention rate of other Amish afffiliations).", "This may be because of greater openness to the world through their outreach orientation, and an ideology more closely resembling \"higher\" churches.", "At least partially for this reason, some criticize the New Order Amish as \"Beachy Amish without the cars\".", "New Order and Old Order Amish disagree less today than in the past", "New Order and Old Order Amish are cut from similar cloth and share much in common, including a similar approach to technology, use of horse-and-buggy for travel, and plain dress.", "While the New Order Amish may be considered more \"progressive\" on certain matters of theology, missionary work, and evangelical outlook, and some technology (in some cases), they may be seen as more \"conservative\" when it comes to issues like courtship, alcohol and tobacco, certain technologies such as the cell phone, and in retaining farming as an occupation, which they do at a slightly higher percentage than members of Old Order churches.", "Inside a New Order Amish clothing business", "There have been and continue to be substantial disagreements between the two groups.", "Old Order Amish may see the New Order as taking a holier-than-thou attitude, and being too forward in their assertions about religion, particularly concerning assurance of salvation.", "Hurst and McConnell find that the most common criticism is that New Order churches \"are unstable because their young people are more likely to be lost to other Anabaptist churches\".", "New Order Amish may find fault with Old Order Amish for being too lenient concerning youth behavior, or too reliant on tradition over spiritual truth.", "At the same time, in recent years both sides have begun to see more eye-to-eye on certain issues, particularly in Holmes County, where the two groups live side-by-side and cooperate in many spheres.", "Hurst and McConnell note that \"a sizable number of Old Order individuals, including church leaders, are quite attracted to the New Order positions on both spirituality and control of the youth.\"", "There is also a degree of openness to the idea of assurance of salvation among Old Orders.", "The Amish have a long history of schism, resulting in groups such as the New Order Amish as well as more conservative affiliations such as the Andy Weaver Amish church and the Swartzentruber Amish.", "However, today many Amish seek to play down differences, seeing past church splits as painful parts of their history, while emphasizing common ground.", "For further information, see:", "An Amish Paradox: Diversity

With an estimated population of 2,705,994 (2018), it is the most populous city in the Midwest. Chicago is the principal city of the Chicago metropolitan area, often referred to as Chicagoland, and the county seat of Cook County, the second most populous county in the United States. The metropolitan area, at nearly 10 million people, is the third-largest in the United States. \n Located on the shores of freshwater Lake Michigan, Chicago was incorporated as a city in 1837 near a portage between the Great Lakes and the Mississippi River watershed and grew rapidly in the mid-19th century. After the Great Chicago Fire of 1871, which destroyed several square miles and left more than 100,000 homeless, the city made a concerted effort to rebuild. The construction boom accelerated population growth throughout the following decades, and by 1900 Chicago was the fifth largest city in the world.

Formally, he says that the novel uses a modernist, stream of consciousness approach, but bases these in fact, unlike Woolf, Proust and Joyce who use unreliable memories.

Saint Luke drawing the Madonna", "This painting in Bruges, a copy after Rogier van der Weyden, shows Saint Luke kneeling on one knee before Mary and Jesus.", "He draws her portrait with a silver pen on a sheet of paper that is mounted on a small, wooden plank.", "Mary sits modestly on the floor before the throne, above which a canopy of gilded brocade hangs.", "The throne indicates her status as the queen of the heavens.", "She offers her breast to her son.", "The entirety of the scene takes places in a borgeoise interior with a splendid view onto an inner courtyard, a river and a bustling town.", "In an area behind Luke, his attribute of the ox and a writing stool with a book are depicted.", "With this, the reference is to the gospel that Saint Luke wrote, according to the tradition.", "Copy after Rogier van der Weyden, Saint Luke drawing the Madonna, ca. 1491-1510, Groeninge museum, Bruges.", "The presentation is based on a legend from the 6th Century, in which it is said that Luke paints the portrait of Mary.", "For this reason, Saint Luke is the guardian saint of painters, and the guilds in which painters united were often named after him.", "This story is then also a cherished theme as altarpiece for the chapel of the Saint Luke's guild.", "The painting from which this Bruges work is a copy, is painted by Rogier van der Weyden before 1440.", "He probably makes it for the chapel of the Brussels Saint Luke's guild, of which he is a member.", "The original is preserved in the Museum of Fine Arts in Boston.", "In addition to the Bruges work, there are also two true copies known that are kept in the Alte Pinakothek in Munich and in the Hermitage in St. Petersburg.", "The Bruges painting is the best in terms of quality of these copies and was probably painted around 1500.", "Rogier's composition was inspired by Jan van Eyck's Madonna and Chancellor Rolin (Mus\u00e9e du Louvre) and a lost painting by Robert Campin.", "He also paints a work full of the most exquisite details and creates one of the most influential works of the 15th Century.", "### The Boston Painting", "In 1893, the original painting became part of the collection of the Museum of Fine Arts in Boston.", "Because of a few inferior restorations performed in the 19th Century and a yellowed finish, the painting was first viewed as a copy after the painting in Munich or St. Pertersburg.", "The Bruges painting was at the time in private possession and was only publicly exhibited once in 1902.", "In 1932-3, the Boston painting was progressively restored.", "The yellowed finish and the old retouchings were removed and a splendid painting of utmost quality was 'exposed'.", "From that moment on, the majority of connoisseurs were convinced that this was the original painting by the hand of Rogier van der Weyden.", "This attribution rested upon expertise knowledge.", "Only in the middle of the 20th Century was this hypothesis bolstered by proof from scientific research.", "### Scientific Research", "The four paintings were all examined with scientific methods such as X-rays, infrared photography and infrared reflectography (IRR).", "IRR is a techique whereby infrared light is used in order to penetrate painting and drawing materials.", "All materials can be penetrated except those which contain carbon.", "This technique is primarily used to study the underdrawing--the drawing that the artist made on the painting before the actual painting took place.", "In the 15th and 16th Centuries, most materials used for this containted carbon, such as is also the case with these four paintings.", "X-rays complete this image because the various layers and possible changes amongst the layers can be differentiated.", "The painting in Boston especially yields an interesting image.", "From research via X-rays and IRR, it appears that the artist has executed a number of small changes.", "Thus Mary holds her head somewhat less bowed forward, the legs of Jesus have changed position, Luke's face is slightly higher and rendered more in three-quarters relief and his head is altered in form.", "The most spectacular finding is an angel that holds the canopy over Mary's head, which is set down in the underdrawing.", "It was not produced in the final painting, however.", "A number of other, small amendments share the same goal of enhancing the spatial suggestion of the painting.", "The folds of the mantels of Mary and Luke cover a larger area in the first rendering.", "By drawing the draperies smaller, it appears as if there is more space between the two figures.", "Secondly, the structural fortifications on the left are adjusted so that the perspective becomes stronger.", "The crenellations of the fortifications and the wall of the inner courtyard, and the figures standing before it are all made smaller.", "Finally, the river is also painted wider than it is in the underdrawing.", "In opposition to the various changes in the Boston painting, the scientific research of the paintings in Bruges, St. Petersburg and Munich have 'exposed' none such changes.", "All three of the paintings closely follow the composition of the painted surface of the Boston painting.", "That means that the three anonymous painters copied from the completed painting that is in Boston.", "The artist of the painting in Munich even traced the painting from Boston and used that as the basis for his painting.", "It is possible that this is also the case with the Bruges painting, but this needs to be confirmed by research.", "### The Bruges Painting", "Despite the fact that the painting from the Groeninge Museum appears to be a copy, it still has a great art historical value.", "The painting is of high quality and has been kept in very good condition.", "An anonymous artist painted it between 1482 and 1500.", "Except for the three virtually identical copies of the Boston painting, there are still many other works known to be inspired by this painting.", "What is striking is that nearly all of these works are dated at the end of the 15th Century.", "From this is seen how great the popularity of the work of Rogier van der Weyden and this composition were.", "It is possible that an aficionado of the work of Rogier van der Weyden commissioned the Bruges piece.", "It is also suggested that the copies were made to adorn the chapels of other painters' guilds in other cities.", "Due to the lack of any information on the situation of the origin of the Bruges work, however, for the moment, it remains speculation as to why the work was made.", "### Bibliography", "Till-Holger Borchert, 'Rogier's Saint Luke: A Case of Corporate Identity?', in Carol J.Purtle (ed), Rogier's Saint Luke painting the Virgin and Child.",

Hall.", "He was struck by how beautifully incongruous it was to see the south London singer effing and blinding away, winning the crowd over with her 'awwright, haaw ya going?' banter in this regal setting.", "He thought to himself, 'I want that'.", "He got it.", "Next March, Howard will become the first comic to play four consecutive nights at the hallowed hall as part of his 2014 Wonderbox world tour, which also travels to the United States and Australia.", "Although it's early days, we may as well append a 'sold out' to that; it surely will be.", "For the Royal Albert Hall, as he has for every other show, he will wear just a T-shirt and jeans; Howard has never worn a suit, and to start wearing one now would be 'peculiar... too dressed up'.", "Russell Howard tickets go on general sale this week for the 2014 Wonderbox Tour and will be available at Telegraph Tickets.", "If reading the above has you rushing to the window to see if the sky has turned blood-red, chances are you're over 30.", "But you're not alone.", "Howard himself, ridiculously well-preserved at 33, seems fairly astounded too.", "'Is that true?' he asks when told what a trailblazer he is.", "'Blimey.'", "That he's surprised is surprising in itself; with little fanfare and even less controversy, Howard has become one of the most successful stand-ups of his generation.", "A clean-cut, Bristol-born economics graduate turned respected stand-up (Perrier nominated at 26) who proved himself in the 'bear pit' of 'Mock the Week', he was given his own topical clip show, Russell Howard's Good News, by BBC Three in 2009.", "Filleting 24-hour news through a caffeinated pop culture filter, it was eminently internet-ready, shareable television before that was even a thing.", "'Good News' is now BBC Three's most popular show, second only to Doctor Who on iPlayer, with a viewership of up to 5 million a week.", "While the rest of us were squinting at Michael McIntyre through our monocles, Howard built up a social media army (2.5 million Facebook friends and counting, over 500,000 followers on Twitter), and in 2011 sold over 300,000 arena tickets to people who, we're often told, expect to get all their

recuperating from an appendectomy, but had to be stopped when he literally began busting a gut.", "Howard's stand-up is a smutty yet charming mix of Inbetweeners-style reminisces involving his or his brother's backside, withering observations (\"Some families in England have to wait two weeks for their wheelie bins to be collected.", "Their suffering is unimaginable\") and stories about his family", "The first time she saw him perform, Howard's mother perfectly summed up why he's so beloved: \"You're a bit like a child telling people about a day at the zoo,\" she said.", "Trail-blazer:",

"We're sitting in the show's writers' room, and the walls are full of whiteboards covered with hundreds of neatly written notes that may or not may not become part of the show.", "Next to obvious headers such as 'Thatcher funeral', 'Kim Jong-un' and 'Justin Beiber Anne Frank', others leap out: 'Liquid ass', 'porn star flapjacks', or 'Lesley Garrett fisting tips'.", "(\"That one's been there a while,\" says Howard of the latter.)", "Across the courtyard, in Howard's news bureau, 20 or so researchers sit glued to screens spewing feeds from across the globe \u2013 Russia, Australia, Rotherham.", "This mini CNN collects clips or viral videos falling within the Good News remit \u2013 animals, pranks, kids, weird technology, sports, music, Boris Johnson reaction shots \u2013 and presents hours of footage to Howard and his co-writers, Steve Hall, Steve Williams, Karl Minns and Matt Forde, at the end of the week.", "They whittle it down to the best 20 stories, write jokes over the weekend, it's filmed on the Tuesday, then hits BBC Three on Thursday.", "No wonder Howard looks tired.", "On stage he's wide-eyed and bouncy, but today he's softly spoken and subdued \u2013 a bout of food poisoning certainly isn't helping, and nor are this week's stories.", "He admits he has no idea how Good News will handle Baroness Thatcher's funeral, given the show's light-hearted brief.", "\"With a situation like that you have to look at the way the news is presented,\" he says.", "\"We've had stories in the past, like the floods, or any bad weather stories, which don't seem funny or interesting, but sometimes the way the news presents them is.\"", "With last year's floods, Howard had fun with Sky News' footage of a family of voles found clinging to life in a Yorkshire village, then cut to the contrasting situation in Malaysia \u2013 a reporter talking to camera with his head barely visible above the water.", "Looking at how your news sausage is made, he explains, \"moves you away from causing offence when it's a contentious issue.", "Some people are pro-Thatcher, some are anti-Thatcher \u2013 you just have to navigate your way through that.\"", "In turn, Howard helps his viewers navigate their way through the news by serving it up in bite-sized, easily digestible chunks.", "The frivolous (funny cat photos) and the serious (Syria) are given equal weight and sit quite happily next to each other.", "Older viewers might find this juxtaposition jarring, but for a generation used to getting their current affairs via their smartphones from websites such as Buzzfeed, 'Good News' makes perfect sense.", "He's Left-leaning (\"most comics are, aren't they?\"), yet he doesn't go in for Tory-bashing or expressing any political opinions at all.", "When the Italian comedian Beppe Grillo stood for election earlier this year, promising to \"open parliament like a tuna can\" and doing so by winning one in four votes, the online magazine \u2013 and bible for hipsters \u2013 Vice ran a piece asking if any British comic could ever do the same.", "With his sizeable online following, likeability, and status as the kids' most trusted news sources, Howard was the obvious choice.", "While not entirely serious, Vice's piece had a point.", "Howard, to his credit, finds it hilarious that anyone could think he has even a sliver of that power, and seems disturbed that two political parties \u2013 he won't say which \u2013 have approached him for advice on how to grab the youth vote.", "\"It's not anything I fancy doing.", "Also, I just wouldn't be able to do the show.", "It's for the same reason I've been asked to go on breakfast TV, but because we've done so many jokes about them it'd be awful to meet them.", "Similarly, if I went and had a chat with Cameron and Milliband and Clegg, I could never do jokes about them.\"", "All he does, he says, is \"chew the news up and then present it to people.", "That's a huge difference from being in politics.\"", "He's even refused to fill the 'funny one' seat on Question Time (previous occupants include Dom Joly, Steve Coogan and Will Young): \"Question Time is a nice forum for reasoned political debate.", "There's no point having me on there trying to crack jokes.\"", "Howard is also tickled by the common perception that he's some kind of social media maven, marshalling his youth army with a carefully selected hashtag.", "\"I'm a Luddite!\" he says, his Bristolian burr rather emphasising his point.", "\"It's odd, because I've never aimed myself at, or tried to corner that market.", "It's just what happened.", "I'm really not into technology at all.", "My brother has to plug the Xbox in for me.\"", "This doesn't appear to be part of his act.", "The day before we meet, Howard's Twitter account had whipped his fans into a frenzy by posting a 'teaser' for the Wonderbox tour showing a series of seemingly random, meaningless numbers; a few soon worked out that they were map coordinates.", "All very JJ Abrams, I say to Howard.", "Except he has no clue what I'm talking about; someone in his management team was responsible.", "Whether he planned it or not, Russell Howard is the best British example of a comedian whose career would be very different without the internet.", "In the US there's Rob Delaney, a stand-up whose 'funniest man on Twitter' moniker lead to his own TV show.", "Or Marc Maron, a respected comic whose nosediving career was transformed when he began a podcast of soul-searching (ie, not very funny) interviews with other comedians; he now has a TV sitcom, an autobiography on the way and stars queuing up to talk to him.", "But the movement's hangdog, middle-aged poster boy is Louis CK, a brilliant stand-up who turned out to be an equally brilliant businessman; he's driven down his ticket prices by cutting out middlemen and selling through his own website, and in 2011 made over $1.1 million by offering downloads of a comedy special for just $5.", "None of these men is a household name, yet they can sell out tours with a few keystrokes (CK, who barely has a profile at all in the UK, filled the O2 Arena in minutes last month).", "Howard admires CK (\"everything's geared towards quality, or making things as good for his audience as possible\") but is wary, to say the least, of engaging with the public directly.", "He finds Twitter especially terrifying.", "\"When you first appear on TV you go through the self-googling phase.", "There's such hatred, and I can't see beyond that,\" he says, wincing at the memory.", "\"You get 20 people saying kind things and one person saying something horrible.", "It breaks you.", "You train yourself for a year not to do it.", "If I was to get into Twitter I'd expose myself to people who adore me or people who absolutely hated me.", "Neither of those are useful to my soul.\"", "He's even more depressed by the \"window into the illness of society\" that is the average internet comments thread: \"If you look at something like the Boston marathon, an awful tragedy \u2013 even on that there are idiots who'll write [in idiotic voice] 'what were they even doing running in the first place?'", "It's inconceivable...\"", "Howard's sensitivity is both a blessing and a curse.", "His heart-on-sleeve anti-cynicism is a huge part of his appeal and the reason fans, even male ones, are constantly trying to hug him.", "Each show of his last tour ended with a list of things that bring him joy \u2013 'stationary', 'watching a goth laugh', 'the noise old women make when someone puts food in front of them' \u2013 and his favourite part of 'Good News' is the closing 'good news story', an unashamedly heart-warming clip of triumph over tragedy that sometimes causes Howard's eyes to moisten on camera.", "He admits that a lot of people around him were against that segment because \"it didn't belong on a comedy programme\".", "But giving the show a touch of \"warmness\" was important to him.", "\"It's a really nice way to send people to bed \u2013 something sweet,\" he says.", "Social media maven?", "'When you first appear on TV you go through the self-googling phase,' says Howard.", "'There's such hatred, and I can't see beyond that'", "And the curse part?", "In 2011, a year in which Howard is reported to have earned \u00a34 million from touring, the respected stand-up Stewart Lee devoted a routine to Howard's part in a charity bike ride, which raised \u00a31 million for Sport Relief.", "If Howard rode his bike every day, Lee argued, he would raise \u00a313,357,014.30p for starving African children.", "\"And yet he chooses not to do that,\" Lee went on.", "\"He chooses instead to make \u00a34 million for himself...", "Russell Howard's as good as murdered those kids.\"", "Though Lee had warned him and tried to assure Howard it wasn't personal, the routine stung.", "Two years later, does it still hurt?", "\"Yeah,\" he shrugs.", "\"I couldn't work out why I'd been selected.", "He was trying to make out that all I was interested was making money for myself.", "I do get what he was trying to do, but when it's about you it's very difficult to be rational.", "I felt like I was being bullied by the cool kid at school.", "Because Stu's so revered, it was exactly like being in the sixth-form common room and the smartest and most popular kid is sneering at you.\"", "Anyway, Howard insists that the \u00a34 million isn't true.", "Does he know how much he IS worth?", "'I don't know.", "And I don't want to know!", "I'm doing absolutely fine.", "It's still a silly amount of money.\"", "The perks of his lavish multimillionaire lifestyle include a collection of guitars, long holidays with his family, and a nice house in Leamington Spa, where he lives with his doctor girlfriend, Cerys, and their Jack Russell, Archie.", "His parents, Ninette and Dave, live nearby in Bath; has he paid off their mortgage?", "\"No, I haven't.\"", "Because they don't want him to?", "\"Actually, I think they'd be delighted.", "I'm pretty sure my mum wants me to buy her a hot tub.\"", "While his relationship with Cerys is off-limits in Howard's stand-up act (\"she's got a proper job, she doesn't need me spoiling her life\"), his family is a bottomless well of material.", "\"They're just so big and wild,\" he says of his 40 cousins, three of whom once interrupted a party at his house in order to exorcise a ghost they'd seen walking up and down.", "\"They were saying, 'He's a right nasty ------- but you don't have to worry about him any more.", "He was gonna do something terrible...'", "They were in tears.\"", "Howard's life is comically un-starry, and in 'Wonderbox' he plans to talk about those inevitable awkward moments when two worlds collide: taking his mother to the opening of 'I Give It A Year' (his first film premiere, and he only attended because his actress sister Kerry has a role), or being recognised just as Archie decides to defecate in the street.", "His best friends are still stand-ups he began his career with, Daniel Kitson and John Oliver among them.", "As a group they were once known as the 'Chocolate Milk Gang' thanks to their fondness for drinking milkshakes before Edinburgh shows instead of getting blind drunk like everyone else.", "\"They were wild days,\" he deadpans.", "He's no teetotaller, but a sweetly considerate attitude to his audience prevents him drinking when working.", "\"If you're doing 70 gigs in a tour, there's a lot of responsibility,\" he explains.", "\"People need a big night out, and you're providing it.", "You can't have your blade dulled by booze.", "Have a drink in your own time \u2013 that's their time.\"", "Marc Maron's podcast interviews are famous for allowing comics to open up about their demons: Robin Williams and Russell Brand were fascinating on substance abuse; Onion writer Todd Hanson spoke movingly about depression and a suicide attempt; one comedian, Todd Glass, used his interview to come out as gay.", "But if Russell Howard ever meets Maron, it will be a short encounter.", "The cheery, happy-go-lucky persona that perhaps led Stewart Lee to see him as an easy target is very real; Howard's demons were exorcised a long time ago, possibly by his cousins.", "So, no dark side at all?", "\"No, I just have a grumpy side.\"", "Nothing makes him angrier, he says, than people who throw their money down on the counter in a shop: \"I literally want to beat their face in.\"", "Then he remembers getting angry last week over a joke that wasn't working, and doing something he's ashamed of.", "Now we're getting somewhere; what did he do?", "\"I punched the kettle.", "That's not very entertaining, is it?\"", "Russell Howard begins his world

regular than clockwork, he is the most popular British comedian on Facebook, with more than 3.2 million followers (Michael McIntyre has only 2.8 million).", "His BBC Two show, Russell Howard's Good News, is regularly the most-viewed programme on iPlayer.", "And in just two years, he earned \u00a34 million by filling arenas, selling DVDs and TV deals; his next tour, Round the World, in 2017, will see him visit 30 UK cities and headline the Royal Albert Hall for 10 consecutive nights.", "His latest project \u2013 a second series of Russell Howard's Stand Up Central, which begins this week on

parties have approached him for advice on how to appeal to the young; he won't say which.", "For someone whose critics dismiss his humour as puerile, repetitive and annoying \u2013 he has been known

serious, almost shy, and makes only one outright joke (quite a funny one, about being stung on the backside by a jellyfish on holiday), preferring the slipstream of anecdote.", "Born in Bristol, Howard grew up in a vicarage in Hampshire.", "His mother was a dinner lady and his father designs call centres.", "He has twin siblings two years younger than him: Kerry, a successful actress soon to play the young Hyacinth Bucket in a BBC prequel to Keeping Up Appearances, and Daniel, who works in IT.", "He flew them all to Australia this year for his father's 60th: \"It is really rare to be sat

his viewers navigate their way through the news by serving it up in bite-sized, easily digestible chunks.", "The frivolous (funny cat photos) and the serious (Syria) are given equal weight and sit quite happily next to each other.", "Older viewers might find this juxtaposition jarring, but for a generation used to getting their current affairs via their smartphones from websites such as Buzzfeed, 'Good News' makes perfect sense.", "He's Left-leaning (\"most comics are, aren't they?\"), yet he doesn't go in for Tory-bashing or expressing any political opinions at all.", "When the Italian comedian Beppe Grillo stood for election earlier this year, promising to \"open parliament like a tuna can\" and doing so by winning one in four votes, the online magazine \u2013 and bible for hipsters \u2013 Vice ran a piece asking if any British comic could ever do the same.", "With his sizeable online following, likeability, and status as the kids' most trusted news sources, Howard was the obvious choice.", "While not entirely serious, Vice's piece had a point.", "Howard, to his credit, finds it hilarious that anyone could think he has even a sliver of that power, and seems

able to do the show.", "It's for the same reason I've been asked to go on breakfast TV, but because we've done so many jokes about them it'd be awful to meet them.", "Similarly, if I went and had a chat with Cameron and Milliband and Clegg, I could never do jokes about them.\"", "All he does, he says, is \"chew the news up and then present it to people.", "That's a huge difference from being in

political debate.", "There's no point having me on there trying to crack jokes.\"", "Howard is also tickled by the common perception that he's some kind of social media maven, marshalling his youth army with a carefully selected hashtag.", "\"I'm a Luddite!\" he says, his Bristolian burr rather emphasising his point.", "\"It's odd, because I've never aimed myself at, or tried to corner that market.", "It's just what happened.", "I'm really not into technology at all.", "My brother has to plug the Xbox in for me.\"", "This doesn't appear to be part of his act.", "The day before we meet, Howard's Twitter account had whipped his fans into a frenzy by posting a 'teaser' for the Wonderbox tour showing a series of seemingly random, meaningless numbers; a few soon worked out that they were map coordinates.", "All very JJ Abrams, I say to Howard.", "Except he has no clue what I'm talking about; someone in his management team was responsible.", "Whether he planned it or not, Russell Howard is the best British example of a comedian whose career would be very different without the internet.", "In the US there's Rob Delaney, a stand-up whose 'funniest man on Twitter' moniker lead to his own TV show.", "Or Marc Maron, a respected comic whose nosediving career was transformed when he began a podcast of soul-searching (ie, not very funny) interviews with other comedians; he now has a TV sitcom, an autobiography on the way and stars queuing up to talk to him.", "But the movement's hangdog, middle-aged poster boy is Louis CK, a brilliant stand-up who turned out to be an equally brilliant businessman; he's driven down his ticket prices by cutting out middlemen and selling through his own website, and in 2011 made over $1.1 million by offering downloads of a comedy special for just $5.", "None of these men is a household name, yet they can sell out tours with a few keystrokes (CK, who barely has a profile at all in the UK, filled the O2 Arena in minutes last month).", "Howard admires CK (\"everything's geared towards quality, or making things as good for his audience as possible\") but is wary, to say the least, of engaging with the public directly.", "He finds Twitter especially terrifying.", "\"When you first appear on TV you go through the self-googling phase.", "There's such hatred, and I can't see beyond that,\" he says, wincing at the memory.", "\"You get 20 people saying kind things and one person saying something horrible.", "It breaks you.", "You train yourself for a year not to do it.", "If I was to get into Twitter I'd expose myself to people who adore me or people who absolutely hated me.", "Neither of those are useful to my soul.\"", "He's even more depressed by the \"window into the illness of society\" that is the average internet comments thread: \"If you look at something like the Boston marathon, an awful tragedy \u2013 even on that there are idiots who'll write [in idiotic voice] 'what were they even doing running in the first place?'", "It's inconceivable...\"", "Howard's sensitivity is both a blessing and a curse.", "His heart-on-sleeve anti-cynicism is a huge part of his appeal and the reason fans, even male ones, are constantly trying to hug him.", "Each show of his last tour ended with a list of things that bring him joy \u2013 'stationary', 'watching a goth laugh', 'the noise old women make when someone puts food in front of them' \u2013 and his favourite part of 'Good News' is the closing 'good news story', an unashamedly heart-warming clip of triumph over tragedy that sometimes causes Howard's eyes to moisten on camera.", "He admits that a lot of people around him were against that segment because \"it didn't belong on a comedy programme\".", "But giving the show a touch of \"warmness\" was important to him.", "\"It's a really nice way to send people to bed \u2013 something sweet,\" he says.", "Social media maven?", "'When you first appear on TV you go through the self-googling phase,' says Howard.", "'There's such hatred, and I can't see beyond that'", "And the curse part?", "In 2011, a year in which Howard is reported to have earned \u00a34 million from touring, the respected stand-up Stewart Lee devoted a routine to Howard's part in a charity bike ride, which raised \u00a31 million for Sport Relief.", "If Howard rode his bike every day, Lee argued, he would raise \u00a313,357,014.30p for starving African children.", "\"And yet he chooses not to do that,\" Lee went on.", "\"He chooses instead to make \u00a34 million for himself...", "Russell Howard's as good as murdered those kids.\"", "Though Lee had warned him and tried to assure Howard it wasn't personal, the routine stung.", "Two years later, does it still hurt?", "\"Yeah,\" he shrugs.", "\"I couldn't work out why I'd been selected.", "He was trying to make out that all I was interested was making money for myself.", "I do get what he was trying to do, but when it's about you it's very difficult to be rational.", "I felt like I was being bullied by the cool kid at school.", "Because Stu's so revered, it was exactly like being in the sixth-form common room and the smartest and most popular kid is sneering at you.\"", "Anyway, Howard insists that the \u00a34 million isn't true.", "Does he know how much he IS worth?", "'I don't know.", "And I don't want to know!", "I'm doing absolutely fine.", "It's still a silly amount of money.\"", "The perks of his lavish multimillionaire lifestyle include a collection of guitars, long holidays with his family, and a nice house in Leamington Spa, where he lives with his doctor girlfriend, Cerys, and their Jack Russell, Archie.", "His parents, Ninette and Dave, live nearby in Bath; has he paid off their mortgage?", "\"No, I haven't.\"", "Because they don't want him to?", "\"Actually, I think they'd be delighted.", "I'm pretty sure my mum wants me to buy her a hot tub.\"", "While his relationship with Cerys is off-limits in Howard's stand-up act (\"she's got a proper job, she doesn't need me spoiling her life\"), his family is a bottomless well of material.", "\"They're just so big and wild,\" he says of his 40 cousins, three of whom once interrupted a party at his house in order to exorcise a ghost they'd seen walking up and down.", "\"They were saying, 'He's a right nasty ------- but you don't have to worry about him any more.", "He was gonna do something terrible...'", "They were in tears.\"", "Howard's life is comically un-starry, and in 'Wonderbox' he plans to talk about those inevitable awkward moments when two worlds collide: taking his mother to the opening of 'I Give It A Year' (his first film premiere, and he only attended because his actress sister Kerry has a role), or being recognised just as Archie decides to defecate in the street.", "His best friends are still stand-ups he began his career with, Daniel Kitson and John Oliver among them.", "As a group they were once known as the 'Chocolate Milk Gang' thanks to their fondness for drinking milkshakes before Edinburgh shows instead of getting blind drunk like everyone else.", "\"They were wild days,\" he deadpans.", "He's no teetotaller, but a sweetly considerate attitude to his audience prevents him drinking when working.", "\"If you're doing 70 gigs in a tour, there's a lot of responsibility,\" he explains.", "\"People need a big night out, and you're providing it.", "You can't have your blade dulled by booze.", "Have a drink in your own time \u2013 that's their time.\"", "Marc Maron's podcast interviews are famous for allowing comics to open up about their demons: Robin Williams and Russell Brand were fascinating on substance abuse; Onion writer Todd Hanson spoke movingly about depression and a suicide attempt; one comedian, Todd Glass, used his interview to come out as gay.", "But if Russell Howard ever meets Maron, it will be a short encounter.", "The cheery, happy-go-lucky persona that perhaps led Stewart Lee to see him as an easy target is very real; Howard's demons were exorcised a long time ago, possibly by his cousins.", "So, no dark side at all?", "\"No, I just have a grumpy side.\"", "Nothing makes him angrier, he says, than people who throw their money down on the counter in a shop: \"I literally want to beat their face in.\"", "Then he remembers getting angry last week over a joke that wasn't working, and doing something he's ashamed of.", "Now we're getting somewhere; what did he do?", "\"I punched the kettle.", "That's not very entertaining, is it?\"", "Russell Howard begins his world

She also contributed the libretto to Canadian composer Omar Daniel's \"The Passion of Lavinia Andronicus\" (2005), offering a new dimension to the tragic figure at the centre of one of Shakespeare's most harrowing plays in a performance by the Hilliard Ensemble and Tafelmusik Chamber Choir. Michaels would not publish \"The Winter Vault\" until 2009, thirteen years following the release of \"Fugitive Pieces\" which, likewise, took nearly a decade to write. Like \"Fugitive Pieces,\" her second novel considers deeply the \"complicated relationship between huge historic events and intimate, domestic events; the relationship between historical grief and personal grief; how we remember privately, and how we remember - and memorialize \u2013 publicly, collectively. Each community, each nation, faces this question and answers it in its own way, according to its own needs.\" \n Connecting three historic events - the dismantling and reconstruction of Egypt's Abu Simbel Temple; the building of the St. Lawrence Seaway in Canada and the drowning of towns, villages and graves; and the rebuilding of Warsaw after World War II - the novel considers whether a temple, taken apart stone by stone and rebuilt, is the same temple; a river barraged, the same river; a city reconstructed, the same city; and whether the heart can be repaired and rebuilt after a profound personal loss. \"The Winter Vault\" went on to garner international praise and was a finalist for the Scotiabank Giller Prize, the Trillium Book Award and the Commonwealth Prize, and was also long-listed for the International Dublin Literary Award.\n In 2011, Michaels contributed to the Bush Theatre's 24-hour performance of \"Sixty-Six Books\".

over a hundred other Grandmasters, but that's not the only purpose of the PRO Chess League.", "We want to bring high level chess competition to places that may not have the high density of Grandmasters that are available in other cities.", "We love that we have teams that will be full of GM's each week, and also teams that are filled with more local stars.", "Maybe those teams won't be

The excessive display risked a personal foul penalty, but sportswriters saw an athlete with little to lose personally if he chose to into the NFL instead of returning for another year of collegiate football. \n Meyer had wanted to throw Hernandez off the team for his chronic marijuana use, but relented after an appeal from Tebow. However, after Hernandez's junior year Meyer told him that he would not be welcome back for a fourth year and that he would have to try to get picked up by a professional team in the 2010 NFL Draft. Hernandez finished his college career with 111 receptions for 1,382 yards and 12 touchdowns. Florida coaches aligned Hernandez with Maurkice and Mike Pouncey. He reportedly grew close with the twins.

A legal showdown with ABBA and the Mechanical-Copyright Protection Society (MCPS) followed, \"1987\" was forcibly withdrawn from sale, and The JAMs were ordered to \"deliver up the master tape, mothers, stampers and any other parts commensurate with manufacture of the record\". \n King Boy D and Rockman Rock travelled to ABBA's home country of Sweden, in the hope of meeting with ABBA personally, taking an \"NME\" journalist and photographer with them, along with most of the remaining copies of the LP and a gold disc of the album. Failing to find ABBA in residence at Polar Studios in Stockholm, they instead presented the gold disc to a blonde prostitute they pretended was Agnetha \"fallen on hard times.\" Of the original LP's stock, some copies were disposed overboard on the North Sea ferry trip across, and the remainder were burned in a field in Gothenburg before dawn (as shown on the cover of their next album, \"Who Killed The JAMs?\"). The JAMs also played a recording of \"The Queen and I\" loudly outside the offices of ABBA's record label, Polar Music. The trip was unexpectedly eventful, the JAMs accidentally hitting and killing a moose, and later being shot at by a farmer, a bullet cracking the engine of their Ford Galaxie police car.

Failing to find ABBA in residence at Polar Studios in Stockholm, they instead presented the gold disc to a blonde prostitute they pretended was Agnetha \"fallen on hard times.\" Of the original LP's stock, some copies were disposed overboard on the North Sea ferry trip across, and the remainder were burned in a field in Gothenburg before dawn (as shown on the cover of their next album, \"Who Killed The JAMs?\"). The JAMs also played a recording of \"The Queen and I\" loudly outside the offices of ABBA's record label, Polar Music.

She wrote an opinion column on gender imbalance in the industry for a December 2015 issue of \"The Hollywood Reporter\". At the 2017 Cannes Film Festival, where she served as a jury member, Chastain bemoaned the passive portrayal of women in most films. She has complained about a lack of female film critics, which she believes hinders a gender-neutral perspective on film. Chastain advocates for greater gender balance on sets, including more representation of women on film crews and in positions of power. On social media, Chastain aims to \"amplify the voices\" of victims of sexual harassment in the industry.

on Human Rights in Cambodia, made it clear in his October 1997 report to the UN General Assembly: the events of July 5-6 were a \"coup d'\u00e9tat.\"", "This seemed plain to those of us living through those tumultuous times in Cambodia, and has been confirmed by subsequent research.", "Through interviews at the time and in the years since with senior CPP and FUNCINPEC officials, senior military officials of the CPP, FUNCINPEC and KPNLF, diplomats, foreign military attaches, human rights workers, and residents of Phnom Penh who witnessed the fighting, the basic facts are clear.", "The evidence shows that this was not a CPP coup, but a coup by Hun Sen.", "Other senior CPP figures, including party president Chea Sim, Interior Minister Sar Kheng, Defense Minister Tea Banh, and head of the armed forces Ke Kim Yan, argued against military action and refused to mobilize their forces, causing deep strains in the party.", "After the coup, many senior CPP officials who refused to participate sandbagged their homes and put their guards on full alert, fearful that Hun Sen would then strike against them for their disloyalty.", "Even without the support of much of his party, Hun Sen was able to put together enough military power to succeed.", "On July 5-6 his ad hoc forces, led by loyalists including Kun Kim, Mol Roeup, Sao Sokha, Hok Lundy, and Keo Pong, defeated the FUNCINPEC forces who had not been disarmed in the previous week.", "He then unleashed his forces to carry out a campaign of extrajudicial executions, primarily of FUNCINPEC military officers.", "I and many of my colleagues at the UN human rights office had the unforgettable experience of digging up the bodies of men stripped naked to their underwear, handcuffed behind their backs, blindfolded, and shot in the head.", "Executions and torture", "In many cases it was clear who carried out these killings.", "One unit in particular, the \"911\" parachute regiment under Colonel Chap Pheakadey, was clearly responsible for a series of executions and torture.", "The government has never opened an investigation or made efforts to prosecute Pheakedey or any other perpetrators.", "Instead of being prosecuted, Pheakadey is now a General.", "Donors and diplomats who say they are committed to the fight against impunity have simply dropped the issue.", "What caused the coup?", "Many trace it back to the flawed power sharing formula after FUNCINPEC won the UNTAC-organized elections in May 1993.", "The CPP insisted on an equal share of power and refused to relinquish control of the security services.", "The international community and then Prince Norodom Sihanouk imposed a coalition with Prince Norodom Ranariddh and Hun Sen as co-Prime Ministers.", "The CPP's successful threat to use force if its conditions were not met may have emboldened Hun Sen to use military force if his hold on power was ever threatened again.", "One could also point to the failed coup attempt of July 2, 1994 against Hun Sen and Ranariddh - by members of Hun Sen's own party.", "This coup attempt was led by former Minister of Interior Sin Song and national police chief Sin Sen, both of whom were furious at Hun Sen for being left out of the coalition government.", "The coup attempt was backed by Thaksin Shinawatra's IBC TV, after his television contract was ripped up by the co-Prime Ministers.", "Ironically, Hun Sen was saved in part by Ranariddh and FUNINCPEC forces under General Nhek Bun Chhay, who sent their forces to confront rebel CPP tanks motoring in from their stronghold in Prey Veng.", "A party divided", "Hun Sen learned a huge lesson that day: he could not trust his party to protect his personal security.", "The price Hun Sen exacted from the CPP coup plotters and their patrons was greater control of the armed forces.", "He appointed his own man, Hok Lundy, as national police chief.", "Until then internal security had been Chea Sim's domain.", "Hok Lundy reported directly to Hun Sen despite the fact that his formal boss was Sar Kheng - a close confidante of Chea Sim and an internal party opponent of Hun Sen.", "Perhaps even more important, Hun Sen decided to build up his personal \"bodyguard unit\" into a de facto private army.", "All of this soon made Hun Sen the strongest physical force in the CPP.", "Hok Lundy and the bodyguard unit played key roles in the July 1997 coup.", "One could also point to Ranariddh's decision in early 1996 to confront the CPP.", "The CPP had reneged on a promise to appoint FUNCINPEC members to half the district chief positions in the country, a key part of the 1993 coalition agreement.", "There was deep dissatisfaction in FUNCINPEC over the lack of real power sharing (and the opportunities for corruption that came with it) and the party's clearly second-class status in the government.", "Ranariddh had shown himself to be a weak and incompetent leader.", "His party was losing public esteem as it failed to implement any of its 1993 campaign promises on corruption, human rights or land.", "Ranariddh decided that FUNCINPEC should attempt to reach military parity with the CPP.", "It was a ridiculous idea to compete with Hun Sen and the CPP in military terms, \"laughable,\" as many foreign military attach\u00e9s later told me.", "Long before July 1997, Hun Sen had tried but failed to convince his party to authorize military action against FUNCINPEC.", "His intentions were discerned as early as April 1996 by the UN political representative in Cambodia, Benny Widyono.", "Widyono warned in a cable to UN headquarters that Hun Sen was contemplating getting rid of Ranariddh.", "After meeting Hun Sen, Widyono concluded that Hun Sen was mapping out his \"usual strategy: to patiently probe Prince Ranariddh's weaknesses and, when the time comes, to strike at those weaknesses, swiftly and aggressively.\"", "Widyono believed that Hun Sen was angling to arrest Ranariddh.", "Two days later, reacting to a threat by FUNCINPEC to dissolve the National Assembly and call early elections, Hun Sen warned that he might use military force, declaring, \"I have the forces to do it.\"", "According to another cable from Widyono, Hun Sen wanted to arrest FUNCINPEC generals, but was blocked by the opposition of CPP armed forces chief Ke Kim Yan.", "A further report from Widyono's office stated that at a secret April 30, 1996 meeting of CPP leaders, Hun Sen proposed taking military action against the FUNCINPEC \"machinery.\"", "This was reportedly opposed by most CPP leaders, including Ke Kim Yan, Chea Sim, and Sar Kheng.", "General Pol Sarouen, Kandal deputy governor Kun Kim and Phnom Penh deputy governor Chea Sophara were reported to support Hun Sen.", "In June 1996 Chea Sim felt it necessary to publicly air his concerns, stating that there should be no confrontation between CPP and FUNCINPEC.", "By the beginning of 1997, the coalition government was falling apart.", "About the only thing the two parties had in common was a rapacious appetite for wealth gained through high-level corruption.", "Ranariddh and Sam Rainsy, head of the opposition Khmer Nation Party (KNP), now agreed to work together to defeat the CPP in the 1998 elections.", "Political factions", "In February 1997 fighting broke out between FUNCINPEC and CPP forces in Battambang province.", "An \"Abnormal Conflict Resolution Committee\" was established to prevent a recurrence.", "It was chaired by co-Ministers of Interior Sar Kheng and You Hokry (FUNCINPEC) and included Ke Kim Yan and Nhek Bun Chhay.", "None of these people had the power to block Hun Sen when he decided to use military force.", "At the same time, CPP officials say that Hun Sen was deeply concerned that the more moderate Sar Kheng was being promoted through the \"Abnormal Committee\" as his successor by some in the CPP, FUNCINPEC and some diplomats.", "By this time Hun Sen's popularity was rapidly declining in the country and within his own party.", "There were frequent press reports about deep splits in the CPP between the Hun Sen and Chea Sim-Sar Kheng factions, with many in the party wanting to replace Hun Sen with someone they considered more palatable to voters.", "Fearing the newly announced alliance between FUNCINPEC and Sam Rainsy's KNP, Hun Sen wanted to arrest Rainsy, who was busily building his new party.", "Minister of Justice Chem Snguon confirmed this to me, saying that Hun Sen had asked him to arrest Rainsy.", "According to Snguon, no fan of Rainsy, \"I told him, 'How could I?", "I didn't have any grounds.'\"", "The March 30, 1997 grenade attack on a KNP rally led by Rainsy, which killed 16 and injured more than 150, soon followed.", "Hun Sen reacted by ordering Rainsy's arrest.", "The demand was so outrageous - Rainsy was nearly killed in the attack - that the order was ignored.", "In early April Hun Sen engineered a split within FUNCINPEC in an attempt to gain sufficient votes in the National Assembly to remove Ranariddh as Prime Minister.", "This was not difficult, as many FUNCINPEC MPs were deeply disaffected from Ranariddh.", "At one point Hun Sen claimed 22 FUNCINPEC \"neutrals\" would vote against Ranariddh.", "But after leaving Hun Sen's home at Tuol Kraisang many of the MPs recanted, some going into hiding.", "The attempt to remove Ranariddh through \"legal\" means failed.", "Coup rumors swirled.", "On April 28, 1997, Hun Sen announced that he had nothing to gain from a coup as he already held full power legitimately, but warned, \"If I decide to hold a coup d'etat, it can hardly be prevented.\"", "He was right.", "Fallout factors", "The FBI was sent to investigate the March 30 grenade attack because an American, Ron Abney, was injured and it was classified as a terrorist attack by the State Department.", "By May 15, the investigation had implicated Hun Sen's bodyguard unit, not least because it allowed the grenade throwers through its lines to escape before turning its guns to stop those giving chase.", "Investigations showed that Hok Lundy's police, who normally were deployed at demonstrations, were ordered to stand down that morning.", "The lead FBI agent told the Cambodian police that things looked \"very bad\" for Hun Sen, especially since \"Hun Sen's people didn't tell the truth.\"", "This was reported back to Hun Sen.", "On May 25, a large shipment of arms signed for by Ranariddh for his bodyguard unit arrived at Kampong Som port.", "The CPP-controlled military court opened a case against Ranariddh.", "Hun Sen accused Ranariddh of trying to import weapons illegally and destabilizing the government.", "It is unclear if this shipment was legal, but what is certain is that the CPP, like FUNCINPEC, was regularly importing arms and weapons without informing the other side.", "\"This was routine and both sides knew about it,\" a senior CPP official told me, a point confirmed by many other CPP and FUNCINPEC officials and military attach\u00e9s from France, Singapore, Thailand, and the United States.", "During this time both FUNCINPEC and the CPP began to move forces into and around Phnom Penh in anticipation of armed conflict.", "Both were also attempting to strike a deal with remaining Khmer Rouge forces in the north of the country (Ieng Sary and other Khmer Rouge forces in western Pailin and Malai areas had defected to Hun Sen, who outbid Ranariddh, in August 1996).", "Hun Sen accused FUNCINPEC of bringing Khmer Rouge soldiers from Khmer Rouge headquarters in Anlong Veng into Phnom Penh, giving massive air time to a former Khmer Rouge fighter named Phon Pheap, who alleged Nhek Bun Chhay was hiding large numbers of Khmer Rouge at the FUNCINPEC base near the airport at Tang Kraisang.", "Ranariddh fed these claims by engaging in ham-fisted and desperate negotiations with Khieu Samphan to defect and bring his forces, Ieng Sary-style, to the FUNCINPEC side.", "I was part of a team of UN staff who interviewed alleged Khmer Rouge soldiers captured after the coup.", "We found only a few who may have been Khmer Rouge, but most were farmers from Prey Veng or Svay Rieng who had been offered money to come to Phnom Penh for work.", "This is not to say there were none.", "In May 1997 I saw two Khmer Rouge soldiers guarding a safe house for FUNCINPEC \"neutral\" MPs in Phnom Penh.", "They had the look of jungle fighters and said they were from Malai.", "There were other anecdotal reports of Khmer Rouge forces coming to join FUNCINPEC.", "However, no credible evidence of the presence of significant numbers of Khmer Rouge members from Anlong Veng has ever been produced.", "French, Australian and Singaporean military attaches told me the claims were unfounded.", "On the other hand, as many as 300 former Khmer Rouge fighters fought in the coup on Hun Sen's side under the command of Khmer Rouge defector Keo Pong.", "Blood feud", "In mid-June, forces under the command of Hok Lundy and FUNCINPEC deputy Minister of Interior Ho Sok fought along Norodom Boulevard in Phnom Penh.", "Two FUNCINPEC troops were killed.", "The tension in Phnom Penh was intense, with many expecting armed conflict to break out at any time.", "However, many others believed that Hun Sen would be blocked by others in his own party.", "These optimists, including many diplomats and some in FUNCINPEC, were wrong.", "In late June, Hun Sen again attempted to convince CPP leaders to back his plans to take power by force.", "Those present at the meeting say that this was strongly opposed by Ke Kim Yan, Tea Banh, Chea Sim and Sar Kheng.", "They argued that FUNCINPEC was not a military threat and that while it might have been bringing some Khmer Rouge into Phnom Penh, the number was not significant.", "They argued that the country had made too much progress since the Paris Peace Agreements to put it all at risk, and that they would be blamed by the international community and Cambodians if they used force to solve political problems.", "On June 29 Hun Sen announced that he would no longer cooperate with Ranariddh.", "He demanded that members of the Khmer Rouge in Phnom Penh surrender to his forces or face tough action.", "On the same day, CPP General Pol Sareoun told a foreign historian that unless Ranariddh was arrested, there was soon going to be a \"little war\" with FUNCINPEC.", "That same day, the Washington Post quoted an FBI report alleging that Hun Sen's bodyguards were involved in the March 30 grenade attack.", "Credible reports began to come in that CPP tanks were being positioned around Phnom Penh, while FUNCINPEC consolidated its forces in Taing Kraisang.", "One western military attach\u00e9 with close contacts in the CPP told me that he briefed his embassy on how the tanks would be deployed into Phnom Penh, how they would take FUNCINPEC military installations, and how they would secure radio and TV stations.", "Ranariddh flees", "On July 1, the military court asked the National Assembly to lift Ranariddh's parliamentary immunity so it could charge him with illegal weapons smuggling.", "On July 2, CPP forces seized FUNCINPEC's Prek Ta Ten base along route 5 north of Phnom Penh, killing one FUNCINPEC soldier and wounding three.", "On July 3, Ranariddh returned to Phnom Penh from Kampong Cham by helicopter after he was told that an operation was afoot to arrest him en route.", "His bodyguards drove to Phnom Penh.", "Along the way, pro-Hun Sen troops stopped them and gave them the choice of being shot or disarmed.", "According to an American official, the CPP forces involved said they hoped to provoke a fight and were unhappy that Ranariddh's bodyguards did not take the bait.", "Ranariddh fled to France the next day, July 4, after being warned by his security officials that Hun Sen would try to arrest or kill him.", "Negotiations throughout that night between Nhek Bun Chhay and CPP military

Rights in Cambodia, made it clear in his October 1997 report to the UN General Assembly: the events of July 5-6 were a \"coup d'\u00e9tat.\"", "This seemed plain to those of us living through those tumultuous times in Cambodia, and has been confirmed by subsequent research.", "Through interviews at the time and in the years since with senior CPP and FUNCINPEC officials, senior military officials of the CPP, FUNCINPEC and KPNLF, diplomats, foreign military attaches, human rights workers, and residents of Phnom Penh who witnessed the fighting, the basic facts are clear.", "The evidence shows that this was not a CPP coup, but a coup by Hun Sen.", "Other senior CPP figures, including party president Chea Sim, Interior Minister Sar Kheng, Defense Minister Tea Banh, and head of the armed forces Ke Kim Yan, argued against military action and refused to mobilize their forces, causing deep strains in the party.", "After the coup, many senior CPP officials who refused to participate sandbagged their homes and put their guards on full alert, fearful that Hun Sen would then strike against them for their disloyalty.", "Even without the support of much of his party, Hun Sen was able to put together enough military power to succeed.", "On July 5-6 his ad hoc forces, led by loyalists including Kun Kim, Mol Roeup, Sao Sokha, Hok Lundy, and Keo Pong, defeated the FUNCINPEC forces who had not been disarmed in the previous week.", "He then unleashed his forces to carry out a campaign of extrajudicial executions, primarily of FUNCINPEC military officers.", "I and many of my colleagues at the UN human rights office had the unforgettable experience of digging up the bodies of men stripped naked to their underwear, handcuffed behind their backs, blindfolded, and shot in the head.", "Executions and torture", "In many cases it was clear who carried out these killings.", "One unit in particular, the \"911\" parachute regiment under Colonel Chap Pheakadey, was clearly responsible for a series of executions and torture.", "The government has never opened an investigation or made efforts to prosecute Pheakedey or any other perpetrators.", "Instead of being prosecuted, Pheakadey is now a General.", "Donors and diplomats who say they are committed to the fight against impunity have simply dropped the issue.", "What caused the coup?", "Many trace it back to the flawed power sharing formula after FUNCINPEC won the UNTAC-organized elections in May 1993.", "The CPP insisted on an equal share of power and refused to relinquish control of the security services.", "The international community and then Prince Norodom Sihanouk imposed a coalition with Prince Norodom Ranariddh and Hun Sen as co-Prime Ministers.", "The CPP's successful threat to use force if its conditions were not met may have emboldened Hun Sen to use military force if his hold on power was ever threatened again.", "One could also point to the failed coup attempt of July 2, 1994 against Hun Sen and Ranariddh - by members of Hun Sen's own party.", "This coup attempt was led by former Minister of Interior Sin Song and national police chief Sin Sen, both of whom were furious at Hun Sen for being left out of the coalition government.", "The coup attempt was backed by Thaksin Shinawatra's IBC TV, after his television contract was ripped up by the co-Prime Ministers.", "Ironically, Hun Sen was saved in part by Ranariddh and FUNINCPEC forces under General Nhek Bun Chhay, who sent their forces to confront rebel CPP tanks motoring in from their stronghold in Prey Veng.", "A party divided", "Hun Sen learned a huge lesson that day: he could not trust his party to protect his personal security.", "The price Hun Sen exacted from the CPP coup plotters and their patrons was greater control of the armed forces.", "He appointed his own man, Hok Lundy, as national police chief.", "Until then internal security had been Chea Sim's domain.", "Hok Lundy reported directly to Hun Sen despite the fact that his formal boss was Sar Kheng - a close confidante of Chea Sim and an internal party opponent of Hun Sen.", "Perhaps even more important, Hun Sen decided to build up his personal \"bodyguard unit\" into a de facto private army.", "All of this soon made Hun Sen the strongest physical force in the CPP.", "Hok Lundy and the bodyguard unit played key roles in the July 1997 coup.", "One could also point to Ranariddh's decision in early 1996 to confront the CPP.", "The CPP had reneged on a promise to appoint FUNCINPEC members to half the district chief positions in the country, a key part of the 1993 coalition agreement.", "There was deep dissatisfaction in FUNCINPEC over the lack of real power sharing (and the opportunities for corruption that came with it) and the party's clearly second-class status in the government.", "Ranariddh had shown himself to be a weak and incompetent leader.", "His party was losing public esteem as it failed to implement any of its 1993 campaign promises on corruption, human rights or land.", "Ranariddh decided that FUNCINPEC should attempt to reach military parity with the CPP.", "It was a ridiculous idea to compete with Hun Sen and the CPP in military terms, \"laughable,\" as many foreign military attach\u00e9s later told me.", "Long before July 1997, Hun Sen had tried but failed to convince his party to authorize military action against FUNCINPEC.", "His intentions were discerned as early as April 1996 by the UN political representative in Cambodia, Benny Widyono.", "Widyono warned in a cable to UN headquarters that Hun Sen was contemplating getting rid of Ranariddh.", "After meeting Hun Sen, Widyono concluded that Hun Sen was mapping out his \"usual strategy: to patiently probe Prince Ranariddh's weaknesses and, when the time comes, to strike at those weaknesses, swiftly and aggressively.\"", "Widyono believed that Hun Sen was angling to arrest Ranariddh.", "Two days later, reacting to a threat by FUNCINPEC to dissolve the National Assembly and call early elections, Hun Sen warned that he might use military force, declaring, \"I have the forces to do it.\"", "According to another cable from Widyono, Hun Sen wanted to arrest FUNCINPEC generals, but was blocked by the opposition of CPP armed forces chief Ke Kim Yan.", "A further report from Widyono's office stated that at a secret April 30, 1996 meeting of CPP leaders, Hun Sen proposed taking military action against the FUNCINPEC \"machinery.\"", "This was reportedly opposed by most CPP leaders, including Ke Kim Yan, Chea Sim, and Sar Kheng.", "General Pol Sarouen, Kandal deputy governor Kun Kim and Phnom Penh deputy governor Chea Sophara were reported to support Hun Sen.", "In June 1996 Chea Sim felt it necessary to publicly air his concerns, stating that there should be no confrontation between CPP and FUNCINPEC.", "By the beginning of 1997, the coalition government was falling apart.", "About the only thing the two parties had in common was a rapacious appetite for wealth gained through high-level corruption.", "Ranariddh and Sam Rainsy, head of the opposition Khmer Nation Party (KNP), now agreed to work together to defeat the CPP in the 1998 elections.", "Political factions", "In February 1997 fighting broke out between FUNCINPEC and CPP forces in Battambang province.", "An \"Abnormal Conflict Resolution Committee\" was established to prevent a recurrence.", "It was chaired by co-Ministers of Interior Sar Kheng and You Hokry (FUNCINPEC) and included Ke Kim Yan and Nhek Bun Chhay.", "None of these people had the power to block Hun Sen when he decided to use military force.", "At the same time, CPP officials say that Hun Sen was deeply concerned that the more moderate Sar Kheng was being promoted through the \"Abnormal Committee\" as his successor by some in the CPP, FUNCINPEC and some diplomats.", "By this time Hun Sen's popularity was rapidly declining in the country and within his own party.", "There were frequent press reports about deep splits in the CPP between the Hun Sen and Chea Sim-Sar Kheng factions, with many in the party wanting to replace Hun Sen with someone they considered more palatable to voters.", "Fearing the newly announced alliance between FUNCINPEC and Sam Rainsy's KNP, Hun Sen wanted to arrest Rainsy, who was busily building his new party.", "Minister of Justice Chem Snguon confirmed this to me, saying that Hun Sen had asked him to arrest Rainsy.", "According to Snguon, no fan of Rainsy, \"I told him, 'How could I?", "I didn't have any grounds.'\"", "The March 30, 1997 grenade attack on a KNP rally led by Rainsy, which killed 16 and injured more than 150, soon followed.", "Hun Sen reacted by ordering Rainsy's arrest.", "The demand was so outrageous - Rainsy was nearly killed in the attack - that the order was ignored.", "In early April Hun Sen engineered a split within FUNCINPEC in an attempt to gain sufficient votes in the National Assembly to remove Ranariddh as Prime Minister.", "This was not difficult, as many FUNCINPEC MPs were deeply disaffected from Ranariddh.", "At one point Hun Sen claimed 22 FUNCINPEC \"neutrals\" would vote against Ranariddh.", "But after leaving Hun Sen's home at Tuol Kraisang many of the MPs recanted, some going into hiding.", "The attempt to remove Ranariddh through \"legal\" means failed.", "Coup rumors swirled.", "On April 28, 1997, Hun Sen announced that he had nothing to gain from a coup as he already held full power legitimately, but warned, \"If I decide to hold a coup d'etat, it can hardly be prevented.\"", "He was right.", "Fallout factors", "The FBI was sent to investigate the March 30 grenade attack because an American, Ron Abney, was injured and it was classified as a terrorist attack by the State Department.", "By May 15, the investigation had implicated Hun Sen's bodyguard unit, not least because it allowed the grenade throwers through its lines to escape before turning its guns to stop those giving chase.", "Investigations showed that Hok Lundy's police, who normally were deployed at demonstrations, were ordered to stand down that morning.", "The lead FBI agent told the Cambodian police that things looked \"very bad\" for Hun Sen, especially since \"Hun Sen's people didn't tell the truth.\"", "This was reported back to Hun Sen.", "On May 25, a large shipment of arms signed for by Ranariddh for his bodyguard unit arrived at Kampong Som port.", "The CPP-controlled military court opened a case against Ranariddh.", "Hun Sen accused Ranariddh of trying to import weapons illegally and destabilizing the government.", "It is unclear if this shipment was legal, but what is certain is that the CPP, like FUNCINPEC, was regularly importing arms and weapons without informing the other side.", "\"This was routine and both sides knew about it,\" a senior CPP official told me, a point confirmed by many other CPP and FUNCINPEC officials and military attach\u00e9s from France, Singapore, Thailand, and the United States.", "During this time both FUNCINPEC and the CPP began to move forces into and around Phnom Penh in anticipation of armed conflict.", "Both were also attempting to strike a deal with remaining Khmer Rouge forces in the north of the country (Ieng Sary and other Khmer Rouge forces in western Pailin and Malai areas had defected to Hun Sen, who outbid Ranariddh, in August 1996).", "Hun Sen accused FUNCINPEC of bringing Khmer Rouge soldiers from Khmer Rouge headquarters in Anlong Veng into Phnom Penh, giving massive air time to a former Khmer Rouge fighter named Phon Pheap, who alleged Nhek Bun Chhay was hiding large numbers of Khmer Rouge at the FUNCINPEC base near the airport at Tang Kraisang.", "Ranariddh fed these claims by engaging in ham-fisted and desperate negotiations with Khieu Samphan to defect and bring his forces, Ieng Sary-style, to the FUNCINPEC side.", "I was part of a team of UN staff who interviewed alleged Khmer Rouge soldiers captured after the coup.", "We found only a few who may have been Khmer Rouge, but most were farmers from Prey Veng or Svay Rieng who had been offered money to come to Phnom Penh for work.", "This is not to say there were none.", "In May 1997 I saw two Khmer Rouge soldiers guarding a safe house for FUNCINPEC \"neutral\" MPs in Phnom Penh.", "They had the look of jungle fighters and said they were from Malai.", "There were other anecdotal reports of Khmer Rouge forces coming to join FUNCINPEC.", "However, no credible evidence of the presence of significant numbers of Khmer Rouge members from Anlong Veng has ever been produced.", "French, Australian and Singaporean military attaches told me the claims were unfounded.", "On the other hand, as many as 300 former Khmer Rouge fighters fought in the coup on Hun Sen's side under the command of Khmer Rouge defector Keo Pong.", "Blood feud", "In mid-June, forces under the command of Hok Lundy and FUNCINPEC deputy Minister of Interior Ho Sok fought along Norodom Boulevard in Phnom Penh.", "Two FUNCINPEC troops were killed.", "The tension in Phnom Penh was intense, with many expecting armed conflict to break out at any time.", "However, many others believed that Hun Sen would be blocked by others in his own party.", "These optimists, including many diplomats and some in FUNCINPEC, were wrong.", "In late June, Hun Sen again attempted to convince CPP leaders to back his plans to take power by force.", "Those present at the meeting say that this was strongly opposed by Ke Kim Yan, Tea Banh, Chea Sim and Sar Kheng.", "They argued that FUNCINPEC was not a military threat and that while it might have been bringing some Khmer Rouge into Phnom Penh, the number was not significant.", "They argued that the country had made too much progress since the Paris Peace Agreements to put it all at risk, and that they would be blamed by the international community and Cambodians if they used force to solve political problems.", "On June 29 Hun Sen announced that he would no longer cooperate with Ranariddh.", "He demanded that members of the Khmer Rouge in Phnom Penh surrender to his forces or face tough action.", "On the same day, CPP General Pol Sareoun told a foreign historian that unless Ranariddh was arrested, there was soon going to be a \"little war\" with FUNCINPEC.", "That same day, the Washington Post quoted an FBI report alleging that Hun Sen's bodyguards were involved in the March 30 grenade attack.", "Credible reports began to come in that CPP tanks were being positioned around Phnom Penh, while FUNCINPEC consolidated its forces in Taing Kraisang.", "One western military attach\u00e9 with close contacts in the CPP told me that he briefed his embassy on how the tanks would be deployed into Phnom Penh, how they would take FUNCINPEC military installations, and how they would secure radio and TV stations.", "Ranariddh flees", "On July 1, the military court asked the National Assembly to lift Ranariddh's parliamentary immunity so it could charge him with illegal weapons smuggling.", "On July 2, CPP forces seized FUNCINPEC's Prek Ta Ten base along route 5 north of Phnom Penh, killing one FUNCINPEC soldier and wounding three.", "On July 3, Ranariddh returned to Phnom Penh from Kampong Cham by helicopter after he was told that an operation was afoot to arrest him en route.", "His bodyguards drove to Phnom Penh.", "Along the way, pro-Hun Sen troops stopped them and gave them the choice of being shot or disarmed.", "According to an American official, the CPP forces involved said they hoped to provoke a fight and were unhappy that Ranariddh's bodyguards did not take the bait.", "Ranariddh fled to France the next day, July 4, after being warned by his security officials that Hun Sen would try to arrest or kill him.", "Negotiations throughout that night between Nhek Bun Chhay and CPP military leaders, including Ke Kim Yan and Tea Banh, proved fruitless.", "FUNCINPEC military figures wanted assurances that if they grouped in Taing Kraisang they would continue to be recognized as members of the Royal Cambodian Armed Forces and would not be harmed.", "Hun Sen demanded that they disarm, but Nhek Bun Chhay refused, fearing that he and his forces would be killed - which is what happened to many after the coup.", "By the morning of July 5, Hun Sen's forces were ready to strike at Taing Kraisang, a small FUNCINPEC base next to the airport, the homes of officers like Nhek Bun Chhay and Chau Sambath, FUNCINPEC party headquarters, and Ranariddh's home in central Phnom Penh.", "By the end of the next day, FUNCINPEC's forces were routed.", "The 1997 coup has been by far the most

War raged thousands of miles away, Armstrong and her teammates packed minor league ballparks and lifted war-weary spirits through the All-American Girls Professional Baseball League. Armstrong found that out firsthand when she and some of her high school teammates organized their own team. The manager of one of the teams they played offered her a spot on the Garfield Flashettes of New Jersey. She accepted and soon learned that he was a scout for the AAGPBL. After that Armstrong attended a try out, which was a success, and was a signed a contract. For her labor, she earned $200 a week with room and board taken care of by the team, because the girls stayed with families during the regular season. Armstrong entered the league in 1952 with the Rockford Peaches, pitching for them in that season while she was still in high school. She posted a 4-1 record in six starts and three relief appearances. Managed by Bill Allington, the Peaches featured top-notch players as Eleanor Callow, Rose Gacioch, Carol Habben, Alice Pollitt and Ruth Richard.

Wrigley, the chewing-gum mogul who had inherited the Chicago Cubs' Major League Baseball franchise from his father, to search for a possible solution to this dilemma.", "Wrigley asked Ken Sells, assistant to the Chicago Cubs' General Manager to head a committee to come up with ideas.", "The committee recommended a girls' softball league be established to be prepared to go into Major League parks should attendance fall due to franchises losing too many quality players to attract crowds.", "Philip Wrigley", "With the dedication of a group of Midwestern businessmen and the financial support of Mr.Wrigley, the All-American Girls Softball League emerged in the spring of 1943.", "The League was formed as a non-profit organization.", "A board of trustees was formed which included Philip K. Wrigley; Branch Rickey, Brooklyn Dodgers President and General Manager; Paul V. Harper, Chicago attorney and trustee for the University of Chicago and Chicago Cubs attorney; and Ken Sells, who was named President of the League.", "Midway in the first season of play, the board of trustees changed the League's name to All-American Girls Baseball League (AAGBBL) to make it distinctive from the existing softball leagues and because the rules of play were those of Major League Baseball.", "However, the retention of shorter infield distances and underhand pitching caused some controversy in the media about \"Baseball\" in the League name.", "Thus, at the end of the 1943 season, the official League name was again changed to the more descriptive All-American Girls Professional Ball League (AAGPBL).", "This title was retained until the end of the 1945 season when All-American Girls Baseball League (AAGBBL) was again adopted and retained through 1950.", "It was during this time period that overhand pitching and smaller ball sizes were adopted.", "When independent team owners purchased the League at the end of the 1950 season, the official League name was changed to the American Girls Baseball League (AGBL), but popularly it continued to be identified as the All-American League or the All-American Girls Baseball League (AAGBBL).", "Through the organization of the Players' Association in1986, and through their efforts to gain recognition by the National Baseball Hall of Fame in 1988, the league has now come to be recognized as what it was in actuality: the All-American Girls Professional Baseball League (AAGPBL).", "The first major issue facing the trustees was to establish what game of ball was going to be played by the women and to define the rules for this new brand of ball.", "Chicago Cubs' scout, Jack Sheehan, former player and part-time scout for the Cubs, and Vern Hernlund, supervisor of recreation for the Chicago Parks Department, worked with Ken Sells to write the new set of rules for the League.", "Since the only organized ball for women in the country was softball, they created a game which included both softball and baseball.", "There were semi-pro women's softball teams of quality women players in Chicago and many other urban centers throughout the U.S. and Canada.", "The skill of these teams provided a logical basis for the use of a 12-inch softball and underhand pitching.", "They wanted, however, to liven up the game.", "In an effort to increase hitting and spotlight base running and fielding, they extended the length of softball's base paths and pitching distance.", "They also incorporated men's base running rules by allowing runners to lead off and steal bases.", "Softball at the time included 10 players.", "This new game would parallel men's baseball in number of players (9) and types of equipment.", "The second major issue facing the trustees was to find the talented women playing softball or baseball across the country.", "Jim Hamilton, 30-year veteran player, manager, owner and Chicago Cubs' scout, was hired as the Head of Procurement to locate and sign women from all over the United States and Canada.", "In Canada the driving force was Johnny Gottselig, former defenseman

in place from his ownership of the Cubs and had sports connections throughout North America.", "Jim Hamilton, with several assistants, was responsible for procuring players from California to New York.", "Many players were screened from the Chicago Softball League and other existing softball leagues throughout the country.", "Bill Allington, former minor league player and then a coach in the California leagues, was also an active scout for the All-American League.", "Allington became the manager for the Rockford Peaches in the summer of 1944 and remained as a manager in the league throughout the league's existence.", "By sending out scouts and setting up try-outs in dozens of major cities, Wrigley attracted hundreds of women from all over America and Canada who were eager to play in this new professional league.", "Of these, only 280 were invited to the final try-outs in Chicago where 60 were chosen to become the first women to ever play professional baseball.", "## Team Formation", "Wrigley originally envisioned that Major League baseball parks could profit from having the women play on the dates the men's teams were scheduled to be on the road.", "He calculated this would maximize the use of the parks which were now only utilized 50% of the time.", "He approached other Major League owners, but the idea was not well received.", "Four non-Major League cities were

signed to professional league contracts which stated they were not to have any other employment during the baseball season.", "Salaries were high for many of these young players, some as young as 15.", "In many cases they were making more than their parents who had skilled occupations.", "Salaries ranged from $45 to $85 a week plus.", "Those who were signed not only had to be highly skilled players, they also had to comply with high moral standards and rules of conduct imposed by the League.", "In addition, femininity was a high priority.", "Wrigley contracted with Helena Rubenstein's Beauty Salon to meet with the players at spring training.", "After their daily practices, the women were required to attend Rubenstein's evening charm school classes.", "The proper etiquette for every situation was taught, and every aspect of personal hygiene, mannerisms and dress code was presented to all the players.", "In an effort to make each player as physically attractive as possible, each

uniform.", "Each city had a different colored uniform and its own symbolic patch decorated the front of the uniform.", "## League Play - 1943", "The League Office assigned managers, players and

baseball fans across the country were amazed at how well the women played ball and by the enthusiasm and support the teams received in their host cities.", "Several factors contributed to this success.", "Most of the nation was involved in one way or another in the war effort.", "Women, who were formerly homemakers, left their homes to support the war by taking jobs in factories that were converted into making munitions and other military machinery.", "This change in the traditional occupation of women made the environment much friendlier for accepting women as professional ball players.", "Another factor was the limits the war placed on the American people.", "Some foods, luxury items, tires and gasoline were rationed.", "People were forced to spend their leisure time close to home.", "Going to the ballpark was a popular form of entertainment.", "Wrigley also managed to capitalize on the patriotic mood of the country.", "America's young men were off fighting for our

War raged thousands of miles away, Armstrong and her teammates packed minor league ballparks and lifted war-weary spirits through the All-American Girls Professional Baseball League. Armstrong found that out firsthand when she and some of her high school teammates organized their own team. The manager of one of the teams they played offered her a spot on the Garfield Flashettes of New Jersey. She accepted and soon learned that he was a scout for the AAGPBL. After that Armstrong attended a try out, which was a success, and was a signed a contract. For her labor, she earned $200 a week with room and board taken care of by the team, because the girls stayed with families during the regular season. Armstrong entered the league in 1952 with the Rockford Peaches, pitching for them in that season while she was still in high school. She posted a 4-1 record in six starts and three relief appearances. Managed by Bill Allington, the Peaches featured top-notch players as Eleanor Callow, Rose Gacioch, Carol Habben, Alice Pollitt and Ruth Richard.

He learned his trade in Haarlem, where he became a member of the artists' guild (Haarlem Guild of St. Luke) in 1612, together with Hercules Segers and Esaias van de Velde. Frans Hals, who was a member of this guild since 1610, had much influence on Buytenwech's work, as shown by the many drawings that the latter made after Hals's paintings. After his marriage on November 10, 1613, with Aeltje van Amerongen, of a patrician family, he returned to Rotterdam. There Hendrik Martenszoon Sorgh was one of his pupils. \n Buytewech was primarily a graphic artist, mostly of landscapes and genre pieces, but occasionally also of biblical and allegorical themes. Of his paintings only eight have survived to this date, all genre pieces, most depicting merry companies. The painting is called \"Merry Company on a Terrace.\" The painting was created in 1616.

"History.:Naming.", "claim_context": "Struve came out in favour of the name \"Neptune\" on 29 December 1846, to the Saint Petersburg Academy of Sciences. Soon, \"Neptune\" became the internationally accepted name. In Roman mythology, Neptune was the god of the sea, identified with the Greek Poseidon. The demand for a mythological name seemed to be in keeping with the nomenclature of the other planets, all of which, except for Earth, were named for deities in Greek and Roman mythology. \n Most languages today use some variant of the name \"Neptune\" for the planet; indeed in Chinese, Vietnamese, Japanese, and Korean, the planet's name was translated as \"sea king star\" (\u6d77\u738b\u661f). In Mongolian, Neptune is called \"Dalain Van\" (\u0414\u0430\u043b\u0430\u0439\u043d \u0432\u0430\u043d), reflecting its namesake god's role as the ruler of the sea. In modern Greek the planet is called \"Poseidon\" (\u03a0\u03bf\u03c3\u03b5\u03b9\u03b4\u03ce\u03bd\u03b1\u03c2, \"Poseidonas\"), the Greek counterpart of Neptune.

"Astronomy and language experts selected the four proposed names, but the general public was allowed to make the final decision.", "The initiative to find Hebrew names for planets was first launched by Harel Ben-Ami and Lev Tal-Or, two instructors at the Unit for Science-Oriented Youth, which is part of Tel Aviv University's School of Education.", "The project was part of UNESCO's International Year of Astronomy.", "The vote, which was conducted via the web, was jointly managed by the university unit and the Hebrew Language Academy under the title \"A Hebrew Star is Born\" - a play on the title \"A Star is Born,\" Israel's version of the popular television show \"American Idol.\"", "First, thousands of web surfers responded to an appeal to suggest names for both planets - which, unlike the other planets in the solar system, had never been given Hebrew names.", "Then, the experts picked the four finalists and the final vote began.", "\"Oron\" received 2,808 votes a replacement for \"Uranus,\" far ahead of \"Shahak.\"", "Nearly 3,000 voters preferred \"Rahab\" for Neptune, more than double those who wished to see it named Tarshish.", "Both Hebrew names were inspired by their Greek and Latin equivalents.", "Rahab, like Neptune, comes from the nautical world: It is the name of a sea monster in the Bible and Talmud.", "A source at the Academy said Oron was chosen partly because of its phonetic similarity to the word Uranus and partly because \"Oron means small light - hinting at the pale light the planet emits when seen from Earth because of its great distance from the sun.\"", "The initiators of the name change hope the planets' new names will catch on better than some other Hebrew neologisms, such as mirshetet for Internet, which has been largely forgotten.",

"History.:Naming.", "claim_context": "Struve came out in favour of the name \"Neptune\" on 29 December 1846, to the Saint Petersburg Academy of Sciences. Soon, \"Neptune\" became the internationally accepted name. In Roman mythology, Neptune was the god of the sea, identified with the Greek Poseidon. The demand for a mythological name seemed to be in keeping with the nomenclature of the other planets, all of which, except for Earth, were named for deities in Greek and Roman mythology. \n Most languages today use some variant of the name \"Neptune\" for the planet; indeed in Chinese, Vietnamese, Japanese, and Korean, the planet's name was translated as \"sea king star\" (\u6d77\u738b\u661f). In Mongolian, Neptune is called \"Dalain Van\" (\u0414\u0430\u043b\u0430\u0439\u043d \u0432\u0430\u043d), reflecting its namesake god's role as the ruler of the sea. In modern Greek the planet is called \"Poseidon\" (\u03a0\u03bf\u03c3\u03b5\u03b9\u03b4\u03ce\u03bd\u03b1\u03c2, \"Poseidonas\"), the Greek counterpart of Neptune. In Hebrew, \"Rahab\" (\u05e8\u05d4\u05d1) was selected in a vote managed by the Academy of the Hebrew Language in 2009 as the official name for the planet."}} {"label": "not_supported", "supporting_sentences": [[], [60, 61]], "claim": "The Latin term \"Neptun\" (\u05e0\u05e4\u05d8\u05d5\u05df) is commonly used.", "evidence": ["(meta data) TITLE: Uranus and Neptune get Hebrew names at last - Haaretz - Israel News | Haaretz.com ", "(meta data) PUBLISHER: https://www.facebook.com/haaretzcom", "(meta data) PUBLISHED DATETIME: 18.08.2019 17:05", "Report an accessibility issue", "Log in", "Subscribe now", "August 20, 2019.

Soon, \"Neptune\" became the internationally accepted name. In Roman mythology, Neptune was the god of the sea, identified with the Greek Poseidon. The demand for a mythological name seemed to be in keeping with the nomenclature of the other planets, all of which, except for Earth, were named for deities in Greek and Roman mythology. \n Most languages today use some variant of the name \"Neptune\" for the planet; indeed in Chinese, Vietnamese, Japanese, and Korean, the planet's name was translated as \"sea king star\" (\u6d77\u738b\u661f). In Mongolian, Neptune is called \"Dalain Van\" (\u0414\u0430\u043b\u0430\u0439\u043d \u0432\u0430\u043d), reflecting its namesake god's role as the ruler of the sea. In modern Greek the planet is called \"Poseidon\" (\u03a0\u03bf\u03c3\u03b5\u03b9\u03b4\u03ce\u03bd\u03b1\u03c2, \"Poseidonas\"), the Greek counterpart of Neptune. In Hebrew, \"Rahab\" (\u05e8\u05d4\u05d1) was selected in a vote managed by the Academy of the Hebrew Language in 2009 as the official name for the planet. \"Rahab\" is from a Biblical sea monster mentioned in the Book of Psalms."}} {"label": "partially_supported", "supporting_sentences": [[98], [25], [0, 115]], "claim": "She received a J.D. degree.", "evidence": ["(meta data) TITLE: It Takes Two | Boston College Law School Magazine", "Summer 2015", "# It Takes Two", "Paul Callan '75 and Mel Robbins '94 are the unlikeliest of pairings as two of CNN's top legal analysts, but their on-air fusion yields shrewd insight, charismatic commentary, and turbo-charged debate.", "By Chad Konecky", "Photographs By Kate Wolkoff", "It's hard to reconcile where Paul Callan and Mel Robbins are now with where they have been.", "On so many levels.", "He drove a cab for years, couch-surfed for a spell on university campuses all across the UK and once worked six months as an ADA in Brooklyn without a paycheck.", "She spent her infancy living in public housing, waged war with postpartum depression as a first-time mom, and discovered her true calling at an Oprah Winfrey conference.", "To be sure, cherry-picking from almost any accomplished r\u00e9sum\u00e9 usually produces an idiosyncratic zig or zag.", "But as divergent as the backstories might seem from the current realities of their professional lives, the pair's must-see-TV convergence inside the same network studio on the same shows at the same time is, at best, improbable.", "Robbins grew up in a western Michigan municipality so small that CNN's New York bureau houses nearly as many employees as her hometown has people.", "And in spite of an increasingly jet-set lifestyle, she still self-identifies as a \"Midwestern girl,\" though she defies the stereotype entirely.", "She is brash, brainy, and brutally honest.", "Titillatingly transgressive.", "Equal parts legal eagle and Joan Rivers with a dash of Vivien Leigh's flair for the dramatic", "That said, one gets the distinct impression Robbins would never depend upon the kindness of strangers.", "Callan is measured and methodical.", "He exudes gravitas and poise, possessing a ship captain's affect, which figures since he's a \"mostly\" self-taught sailor.", "Some CNN colleagues call him \"The Professor.\"", "Maybe.", "But with a gunslinger's cool.", "And he is no Fred to her Ethel.", "Remove the politics and the marriage (though their on-air rhetoric can approximate a domestic squabble) and there's a very real vibe of antipodal policy wonks James Carvil and Mary Matalin.", "Together, these two BC Law alums comprise 40 percent of CNN's primary stable of legal analysts.", "They are passionate, contentious, caring, and unvarnished.", "They are pals.", "And they remain awestruck by the privilege of the platform they've been afforded as well as obsessed with interpretive accuracy.", "Their earnest partnership\u2014an adaptive and compelling on-screen tango\u2014is arguably revving into cable television's fast lane.", "Whatever CNN is paying them, it's probably not enough.", "\"Without question, they are nothing less than a dream team,\" says Ashleigh Banfield, an anchor at CNN since 2011 and now host of Legal View in CNN's weekday noon slot.", "\"I couldn't be happier that they've agreed to sit with me on a regular basis.", "They are delightful and two of the smartest people on television.\"", "Be that as it may, birds of a feather, they are not.", "Callan has been involved in some of the nation's most noteworthy criminal and civil matters of the past four decades, serving on the prosecutorial team in the case against Son of Sam serial killer David Berkowitz, orchestrating the Nicole Brown Simpson estate's successful civil suit against O.

empty: He operates under the assumption that things are irrevocably damaged, and responds accordingly.", "And so the \"Please, Please, Please, Let Me Get What I Want\"-esque acoustic posturing of \"Out Of The Woods\" exacerbates the song's uncertainty about a relationship's status; the reverb-slathered, minor-key jangle of \"All You Had To Do Was Stay\" is contorted by anguish, not desperation; and the conspiratorial acoustic riffs, string shivers, and falsetto-kissed vocal delivery of \"Blank Space\" are a eulogy to optimism.", "Even the relentless pep talk \"Shake It Off\" is an unconvincing attempt at breaking out of personal doldrums.", "This approach to 1989 works so well in part because Adams tends to be at his best when he's wallowing in heartbreak.", "But it's also successful because he doesn't overstate this interpersonal drama.", "The 1989 arrangements (and the moody contributions of La Sera guitarist Tod Wisenbaker, who collaborated with Adams on the album) are sparse and restrained, with plenty of space for melancholy to linger and resonate.", "Watercolor-hued strings and well-placed percussion thumps creep into the acoustic-ruffled \"How You Get The Girl\"; \"Bad Blood\" is the quintessential Adams-style alt-country shuffle; and \"This Love\" becomes a chilling piano ballad.", "The much-ballyhooed Smiths influence is also rather seamless, especially on the sighing rainy day riffs on \"Wildest Dreams\" and dreampop jam \"I Wish You Would.\"", "(The flamenco guitar splashes and rattlesnake percussion on \"I Know Places,\" however, firmly resemble modern-day solo Morrissey.)", "Yet 1989 is more than just a Moz homage.", "As with 2014's Ryan Adams, there's also a strong Springsteen vibe: \"Shake It Off\" nicks the tick-tock drumming and solemn midnight ambience of \"I'm On Fire,\" while Adams' clenched-teeth vocal delivery and salt-of-the-earth strums on \"Welcome To New York\" are classic Boss signifiers.", "And another highlight, the raucous \"Style,\" is a yearning, '80s college rock fever dream with snarling punk stabs \u00e0 la Sonic Youth.", "In a sense, Adams has created the soundtrack to a fictional '80s teen movie.", "Still, what his version of 1989 does best is illustrate the strength of the source material.", "With the radio-ready gloss stripped away, these songs compare to the best moments in Swift's back catalog.", "For fans, this isn't a new revelation: Despite the sleeker production, Taylor's 1989 themes didn't stray that far from her roots, just reflected the fact that she's matured.", "Adams will receive a reputation boost and a boatload of new Twitter followers thanks to the support of loyal Swifties, which is completely deserved.", "But his 1989 is also a stark reminder that Swift's songwriting continues to deserve respect and kudos.", "## You may also like", "#### Mirai Nagasu Just Became the First American Woman to Land a Triple Axel in the Winter Olympics", "51 minutes agoThe

Swift also included the song on the set list for her 2018 Reputation Stadium Tour, where she performed \"Style\" as part of a medley with \"Love Story\" and \"You Belong with Me\". On April 23, 2019, Swift performed an acoustic version of the song at the Lincoln Center for the Performing Arts during the \"Time\" 100 Gala, where she was honored as one of the \"100 most influential people\" of the year. \n Rock singer Ryan Adams covered \"Style\" on his 2015 track-by-track cover album of Swift's \"1989\". Adams changed the original James Dean-referenced lyric to \"You've got that '\"Daydream Nation\"' look in your eye\", a tribute to 1980s rock band Sonic Youth. He also incorporated rock-oriented styles, which were compared to works by Irish rock band U2 and its lead singer Bono. Annie Zaleski is from \"The A.V. Club\".

political parties.", "However, in 1983, he assumed the presidency and by January 1986, he had restored full political activity in which his own party, the Jatiya (People's) Party took a prominent part.", "While Ershad was proclaimed the winner in a presidential election held in October 1986 under martial law, Bangladesh's opposition parties challenged the legitimacy of Ershad's regime.", "Opposition parties like the AL had participated in the 1986 parliamentary elections and believed they had won, but the vote count was suspended for several days before eventually giving Ershad's

groups organized mass demonstrations to demand Ershad's removal from the presidency.", "Opposition groups became mobilized after Ershad's introduction of the controversial District Council Bill in

strike in Dhaka calling for Ershad's resignation \u2013 the longest general strike in Bangladesh's history.", "Thousands participated, and while the leadership had emphasized the nonviolent nature of the strike, the action was marred by violence as clashes occurred between protesters and police when police fired on stone-throwing mobs that attacked the headquarters of Jatiyo in Dhaka's central business district.", "Police also fired rounds of tear gas shells to disperse crowds of protesters.", "By the fall of 1987, opposition groups had continued to coordinate efforts to put more pressure

heighten confrontation against Ershad.", "However, Ershad took action to defuse the situation and forestall the opposition's plan to start a 72-hour strike on 29 November by declaring a state of emergency on 27 November 1987.", "Under the state of emergency, Ershad arrested Hasina, Khaleda Zia, and other main opposition leaders while sending thousands of police forces into Bangladesh's main urban areas to clamp down on protesters.", "In Dhaka, Ershad imposed a 30-hour curfew at midnight on 27 November and sent helmeted riot police and paramilitary forces to surround the capital.",

any news or commentary against the government.", "Anyone who violated the orders under the state of emergency could be jailed up to three years and fined.", "Ershad publicly rejected the opposition's call for his resignation, stating his intention to serve the remaining years of the term he won in the 1986 elections.", "At this point, while civil disobedience had rattled the Ershad regime, it had not been enough to bring the regime down.", "While what remained of the opposition attempted to regroup and tried to organize in 1988 and 1989, they faced continuous, intense repression by the Ershad regime and were plagued by internal divisions.", "However, the events of the fall of 1990 marked a turning point for the opposition.", "Opposition groups had reorganized and were closely unified in their efforts to achieve the common goal of bringing the Ershad regime down.", "Additionally, opposition groups now consisted of diverse segments of the Bangladeshi population including not only workers, but also doctors, lawyers, and intellectuals.", "Opposition groups organized a small number of public demonstrations on 10 October 1990.", "In response, on 17 October the government closed universities and main schools but this only served to galvanize university students as one of the driving force of protest against the regime and the students put pressure on the traditionally divided opposition parties to continue maintaining a united front against Ershad.", "After weeks of strikes and public demonstrations that paralyzed Dhaka and other major urban areas of Bangladesh, Ershad declared another state of emergency on 28 November 1990.", "Ershad suspended consideration of all civil rights and imposed an indefinite curfew on Dhaka.", "On 30 November, police officers fired on protesters who continued to participate in public demonstrations in Dhaka.", "However, strikes and public demonstrations continued despite the imposition of martial law under the state of emergency.",

"Bangladesh's educated classes had began to play a key role in the anti-Ershad movement as teachers, journalists, and doctors went on strike \u2013 further paralyzing activity in Bangladesh.", "On 4 December the opposition rejected Ershad's proposal.", "100,000 people marched in the streets of Dhaka to demand the President's immediate resignation.", "In a sign of Ershad's weakening base of support, the Bangladeshi police began to refuse to comply with Ershad's order to fire on demonstrators.", "Ershad agreed to step down on 4 December.", "After Ershad was removed from power, a three-month neutral transitional government headed by the Chief Justice of the Supreme Court, Shahabuddin Ahmed, declared a state of emergency, restored civil liberties, and was responsible for organizing elections on 27 February 1991.", "The ensuing 1991 election was the first democratic election ever held in the country, and while 73 parties participated, the AL and BNP dominated \u2013 marking the beginning of a persistent two-party system in Bangladesh.", "The elections ultimately resulted in a BNP government, and Khaleda Zia was sworn in as Bangladesh's prime minister.", "However, since elections were held in 1991, political contests between the AL and BNP have been mainly fueled by personal rivalry between the parties' leaders instead of being issue-oriented.", "Bangladesh's winner-take-all politics have now produced a recurring pattern where the ruling party refuses a meaningful role for the opposition, the opposition walks out, and society is paralyzed by strikes and

part.", "While Ershad was proclaimed the winner in a presidential election held in October 1986 under martial law, Bangladesh's opposition parties challenged the legitimacy of Ershad's regime.", "Opposition parties like the AL had participated in the 1986 parliamentary elections and believed they had won, but the vote count was suspended for several days before eventually giving Ershad's Jatiya Party a majority in Parliament.", "Despite the refusal of opposition parties to recognize the legitimacy of the Ershad regime, Ershad refused to step down.", "Starting in 1987, opposition groups organized mass demonstrations to demand Ershad's removal from the presidency.", "Opposition groups became mobilized after Ershad's introduction of the controversial District Council Bill in parliament that would allow military officers to serve on local district councils.", "Consequently, in June 1987, opposition parties formed an alliance to implement a half-day general strike in Dhaka on 23 June 1987.", "Opposition parties organized and executed another half-day general strike in Dhaka the following week on 30 June that paralyzed most of Bangladesh's major cities and towns.", "However, despite these efforts, Ershad's Jatiyo Party majority in Parliament went on to pass the District Council Bill on 12 July 1987.", "In response, opposition groups struck and publically demonstrated two days after the bill's passage, causing Ershad to send the bill back to Parliament to be reconsidered.", "Opposition groups intensified street demonstrations and became more closely unified, deciding to work together to call for Ershad's immediate resignation and new elections under a caretaker government.", "On 23 July 1987, opposition groups planned mass public demonstrations in Dhaka, Chittagong, and Khulna.", "Following Ershad's orders, police fired on participating protesters, resulting in civilian casualties, and police arrested as many as 500 protesters across the country.", "On the morning of 24 July, mourners of protesters who had died marched through the streets of Dhaka to the Baitul Mukurram Mosque.", "While mourning marches in Bangladesh are usually held in silence, many in the procession shouted, \"Down with President Ershad!\" and \"The killers shall be punished!\"", "On the same day, the Workers-Employees United Council began a 54-hour general strike in Dhaka calling for Ershad's resignation \u2013 the longest general strike in Bangladesh's history.", "Thousands participated, and while the leadership had emphasized the nonviolent nature of the strike, the action was marred by violence as clashes occurred between protesters and police when police fired on stone-throwing mobs that attacked the headquarters of Jatiyo in Dhaka's central business district.", "Police also fired rounds of tear gas shells to disperse crowds of protesters.", "By the fall of 1987, opposition groups had continued to coordinate efforts to put more pressure on the Ershad regime.", "On 28 October, Hasina and Khaleda Zia met \u2013 signaling a new phase of cooperation between the two leading opposition parties, the AL and BNP.", "Opposition groups planned a series of events that would begin 10 November, naming the action the \"Siege of Dhaka\".", "Groups planned to bring thousands of their supporters to the streets to paralyze the capital city and heighten confrontation against Ershad.", "However, Ershad took action to defuse the situation and forestall the opposition's plan to start a 72-hour strike on 29 November by declaring a state of emergency on 27 November 1987.", "Under the state of emergency, Ershad arrested Hasina, Khaleda Zia, and other main opposition leaders while sending thousands of police forces into Bangladesh's main urban areas to clamp down on protesters.", "In Dhaka, Ershad imposed a 30-hour curfew at midnight on 27 November and sent helmeted riot police and paramilitary forces to surround the capital.", "Additionally, Ershad ordered the suspension of all fundamental rights of Bangladeshi citizens, barred courts from trying any cases related to the violation of citizens' rights, banned publication of any news or commentary against the government.", "Anyone who violated the orders under the state of emergency could be jailed up to three years and fined.", "Ershad publicly rejected the opposition's call for his resignation, stating his intention to serve the remaining years of the term he won in the 1986 elections.", "At this point, while civil disobedience had rattled the Ershad regime, it had not been enough to bring the regime down.", "While what remained of the opposition attempted to regroup and tried to organize in 1988 and 1989, they faced continuous, intense repression by the Ershad regime and were plagued by internal divisions.", "However, the events of the fall of 1990 marked a turning point for the opposition.", "Opposition groups had reorganized and were closely unified in their efforts to achieve the common goal of bringing the Ershad regime down.", "Additionally, opposition groups now consisted of diverse segments of the Bangladeshi population including not only workers, but also doctors, lawyers, and intellectuals.", "Opposition groups organized a small number of public demonstrations on 10 October 1990.", "In response, on 17 October the government closed universities and main schools but this only served to galvanize university students as one of the driving force of protest against the regime and the students put pressure on the traditionally divided opposition parties to continue maintaining a united front against Ershad.", "After weeks of strikes and public demonstrations that paralyzed Dhaka and other major urban areas of Bangladesh, Ershad declared another state of emergency on 28 November 1990.", "Ershad suspended consideration of all civil rights and imposed an indefinite curfew on Dhaka.", "On 30 November, police officers fired on protesters who continued to participate in public demonstrations in Dhaka.", "However, strikes and public demonstrations continued despite the imposition of martial law under the state of emergency.", "On 3 December 1990, President Ershad publically stated his willingness to make concessions with the opposition as he was rapidly losing control of Dhaka and other major cities in Bangladesh.", "Bangladesh's educated classes had began to play a key role in the anti-Ershad movement as teachers, journalists, and doctors went on strike \u2013 further paralyzing activity in Bangladesh.", "On 4 December the opposition rejected Ershad's proposal.", "100,000 people marched in the streets of Dhaka to demand the President's immediate resignation.", "In a sign of Ershad's weakening base of support, the Bangladeshi police began to refuse to comply with Ershad's order to fire on demonstrators.", "Ershad agreed to step down on 4 December.", "After Ershad was removed from power, a three-month neutral transitional government headed by the Chief Justice of the Supreme Court, Shahabuddin Ahmed, declared a state of emergency, restored civil liberties, and was responsible for organizing elections on 27 February 1991.", "The ensuing 1991 election was the first democratic election ever held in the country, and while 73 parties participated, the AL and BNP dominated \u2013 marking the beginning of a persistent two-party system in Bangladesh.", "The elections ultimately resulted in a BNP government, and Khaleda Zia was sworn in as Bangladesh's prime minister.", "However, since elections were held in 1991, political contests between the AL and BNP have been mainly fueled by personal rivalry between the parties' leaders instead of being issue-oriented.", "Bangladesh's winner-take-all politics have now produced a recurring pattern where the ruling party refuses a meaningful role for the opposition, the opposition walks out, and society is paralyzed by strikes and boycotts.", "To date, Bangladesh's electoral system has been unable to resolve the tensions produced by this constant rivalry.", "Research Notes Sources: \"50 Reported Dead in Bangladesh Demanding the

in Walt Disney World, following locations in the Magic Kingdom (Main Street, U.S.A.), Epcot (Future World), Disney's Hollywood Studios (Hollywood Boulevard), and two in Disney Springs (Marketplace and West Side). In addition to these six, there are locations in Disneyland (Main Street, U.S.A.), Disney California Adventure (Buena Vista Street), Anaheim's Downtown Disney, and Disney Village at Disneyland Paris. The Downtown Disney and Disney Springs locations are Starbucks-operated, while the locations inside of the theme parks are Disney-operated. \n Bill Sleeth, Starbucks' vice president of global design, has overseen efforts to make a neighborhood feel for new stores, saying \"What you don't want is a customer walking into a store in downtown Seattle, walking into a store in the suburbs of Seattle and then going into a store in San Jose, and seeing the same store.\" Sleeth said \"The customers were saying, 'Everywhere I go, there you are,' and not in a good way. We were pretty ubiquitous.\" As part of a change in compact direction, Starbucks management wanted to transition from the singular brand worldwide to focusing on locally relevant design for each store. \n Starbucks' first Channel Island store was opened in early 2015, in the primary business area of St Peter Port in Guernsey.

West Side). In addition to these six, there are locations in Disneyland (Main Street, U.S.A.), Disney California Adventure (Buena Vista Street), Anaheim's Downtown Disney, and Disney Village at Disneyland Paris. The Downtown Disney and Disney Springs locations are Starbucks-operated, while the locations inside of the theme parks are Disney-operated. \n Bill Sleeth, Starbucks' vice president of global design, has overseen efforts to make a neighborhood feel for new stores, saying \"What you don't want is a customer walking into a store in downtown Seattle, walking into a store in the suburbs of Seattle and then going into a store in San Jose, and seeing the same store.\" Sleeth said \"The customers were saying, 'Everywhere I go, there you are,' and not in a good way. We were pretty ubiquitous.\" As part of a change in compact direction, Starbucks management wanted to transition from the singular brand worldwide to focusing on locally relevant design for each store. \n Starbucks' first Channel Island store was opened in early 2015, in the primary business area of St Peter Port in Guernsey.

The film received negative reviews for its lack of political insight and narrative cohesiveness, and failed to recoup its US$55 million investment. Her next release, the drama \"Little Children\", was better received. Based on the novel of the same name, the film tells the story of Sarah Pierce, an unhappy housewife who has an affair with a married neighbour (played by Patrick Wilson). Winslet was challenged by the role of an uncaring mother, as she did not understand or respect her character's actions. Scenes requiring her to be hostile towards the child actress playing her daughter proved upsetting for her. Having given birth to two children, Winslet was anxious about the sex scenes in which she had to be nude; she took on the challenge to present a positive image for women with imperfect bodies. A. O. Scott of \"The New York Times\" wrote that Winslet successfully \"registers every flicker of Sarah's pride, self-doubt and desire, inspiring a mixture of recognition, pity and concern\".

She first appeared in \"All the King's Men\", a political thriller set in 1940s Louisiana, featuring Sean Penn and Jude Law. She played the supporting part of the love interest to Law's character. The film received negative reviews for its lack of political insight and narrative cohesiveness, and failed to recoup its US$55 million investment. Her next release, the drama \"Little Children\", was better received. Based on the novel of the same name, the film tells the story of Sarah Pierce, an unhappy housewife who has an affair with a married neighbour (played by Patrick Wilson). Winslet was challenged by the role of an uncaring mother, as she did not understand or respect her character's actions. Scenes requiring her to be hostile towards the child actress playing her daughter proved upsetting for her. Having given birth to two children, Winslet was anxious about the sex scenes in which she had to be nude; she took on the challenge to present a positive image for women with imperfect bodies. A. O. Scott of \"The New York Times\" wrote that Winslet successfully \"registers every flicker of Sarah's pride, self-doubt and desire, inspiring a mixture of recognition, pity and concern\". Winslet received another Academy Award for Best Actress nomination."}} {"label": "partially_supported", "supporting_sentences": [[24], [0, 24]], "claim": "The company acquired Ashdown Investment Trust in 1986.", "evidence": ["(meta data) TITLE: History - AVI Global", "## Disclaimer", "The website is directed only at Professional Clients in the UK.", "The website is issued by Asset Value", "Investors Limited (\"AVI\"), in respect of AVI Global Trust plc (\"AVI Global\").", "AVI is authorised and", "regulated by the UK Financial Conduct Authority (\"FCA\")", "AVI Global is a public company listed and", "traded on the London Stock Exchange.", "You agree that we may contact you about our products and services that we believe you might be interested", "in.", "The price of the Shares will be determined by supply and demand in the market as well as NAV per Share.", "The market price of the Shares is therefore likely to fluctuate and may represent either a premium or", "discount to NAV per Share.", "How do I invest?", "# History", "The British Empire Trust plc (\"British Empire\") was established in 1889 in order to generate profits for its shareholders by investing in the shares of other companies.", "In 1985, Asset Value Investors (\"AVI\") were appointed as investment managers of British Empire, which at that point held a total of \u00a36 million in assets under management.", "As at 31 January 2019, total assets under management of British Empire stand at over \u00a3946 million.", "British Empire Trust 125 Years Book", "(hard copies available upon request to UK addresses only)", "British Empire Trust plc. established.", "Asset Value Investors Ltd.

Bush carried the 4th with his largest margin in the state. No woman has served in Congress from South Carolina since Patterson left office, and the Democrats have only tallied more than 40 percent in the district once since then. \n Patterson was the unsuccessful Democratic nominee for Lieutenant Governor of South Carolina in 1994.

programming at HBO\u2013diverse not just in color but in content and tone\u2013and how that's helped it become such an entertainment leader.", "One piece of advice he had for up-and-coming workers that I thought was useful: make your (white, male, older) boss criticize you.", "Studies bear him out: research shows that supervisors find it far easier to give honest feedback to people who resemble them, whether in gender, color or background.", "\"Whatever he's telling you, it's worse,\" he said, to laughter in the room.", "\"Make him tell you what you're lousy at.\"", "FYI, he used language a little saltier than \"lousy.\"", "But it's a good point, I thought.", "As for retaining and promoting minorities to the top, I hope that in his future role he'll give serious thought to assigning some

Iraqi President Barham Saleh.", "It was the first trip to Iraq by the Jordanian monarch in more than a decade, and it came less than a month after the kingdom's prime minister, Omar Razzaz, paid a visit on Dec. 28 to the Iraqi capital to sign a number of economic agreements.", "A royal court statement said the king noted the strong ties between the two countries, affirming that Jordan stands by Iraq as it seeks to safeguard its security and stability, and works to fulfill the aspirations of the Iraqi people toward further prosperity and progress.", "It added that the two leaders \"stressed the importance of bilateral agreements in the economic, trade, investment, energy, transport and construction sectors.\"", "During his visit, King Abdullah held talks with Iraqi Prime Minister Adel Abdul Mahdi, who was quoted as saying that the king's visit signals the start of a new phase in Iraq, stressing that Jordan \"has historically had a special place in the heart of Iraqis.\"", "Until the US invasion in 2003, Iraq was Jordan's main regional trading partner.", "Under former leader Saddam Hussein, Jordan was given a special status as it relied on cheap Iraqi oil.", "Iraq, on the

Baghdad to Amman in Anbar province, Jordan's exports exceeded $1 billion annually.", "The borders were reopened in August 2017, but the Iraqi government put stern conditions on Jordanian goods going to Iraq.", "Following the US occupation of Iraq and the growing Iranian influence on that country, economic as well as political ties with Jordan weakened considerably.", "In November 2005, a number of Amman hotels were hit by suicide bombers who came from Iraq, killing more than 50 people and injuring more than 100.", "Pro-Iranian Iraqi politicians were critical of Jordan's historic ties with Saddam and the fact that King Abdullah had given sanctuary to two of his daughters following the US invasion.", "Relations were especially tense under the premiership of Nouri al-Maliki, who is close to Iran, but improved under his successor, Haider al-Abadi.", "Maliki was critical of Jordan's close ties to Anbar's Sunni tribes, which Amman supported as they struggled to fight groups affiliated with the Islamic State.", "Following the general elections in Iraq last May, when Abdul Mahdi was elected prime minister and Saleh became president, bilateral ties saw a new start.", "On Nov. 15, Saleh paid an official visit to Amman as part of a regional tour.", "The visit was seen as a turning point in bilateral relations.", "King Abdullah's arrival in Baghdad was praised by Jordanian commentators for ushering in a new phase in relations with Iraq.", "Jordan hopes that the king's visit will put the final touches on a strategic project to build an oil pipeline from Basra to Aqaba.",

share in Iraq's multibillion-dollar reconstruction plans.", "Unlike the 1990s, however, when Iraq was entirely dependent on Jordan for its imports, the country is now openly doing business with its neighbors, such as Iran and Turkey, which pose serious competition to Jordanian businessmen.", "Politically, the royal visit comes at a time when Arab countries are taking steps to encourage Baghdad to distance itself from Iran.", "Political commentator Fahd al-Khitan wrote in Al-Ghad daily on Jan. 16 that the king's visit underscores Jordan's keenness on maintaining special ties with Baghdad under all circumstances \u2014 especially when Iraq was fighting a war against Islamic State terrorism.", "\"Iraqis now realize that Jordan, unlike other countries in the region, has no interest in interfering in Iraqi affairs and that it stands with the Iraqi people and the Iraqi state,\" Khitan wrote.", "Commenting on the economic benefits of the royal visit, editor of Al-Maqar website Salameh al-Darawi wrote on Jan. 14 that King Abdullah's visit to Baghdad will reaffirm historic economic partnerships with Iraq, which is \"the kingdom's economic lung,\" and will give the go-ahead for a number of strategic projects between the two countries.", "Darawi said that in the first 10 months of 2018, Jordanian exports to Iraq did not exceed $600 million, which is a modest figure compared to

one of the most complex and unquestionably captivating periods in European history.", "It was a three-decade long, destructive conflict that tore the upper echelons of the English nobility apart in a manner not witnessed since the Anarchy in the mid-12th century, that equally fierce war of succession between Empress Matilda and her cousin Stephen of Blois.", "Starting with the very first skirmish, fought fiercely through the narrow streets of St Albans on 22 May 1455, through to the bloody battle of Bosworth on 22 August 1485, the Wars of the Roses have long become renowned for the deadly feud between the houses of York and Lancaster, the white rose and the red, driven apart by unshakable enmity and unrepentant hatred.", "On closer inspection, however, it could be argued the conflict largely stemmed from the rivalry between the heads of the houses of York and Beaufort, with Henry VI, the Lancastrian king, just a witless onlooker.", "Nathen Amin will be speaking on Henry VII and

York, and Edmund Beaufort, Duke of Somerset.", "The breakdown in relations between the pair is a story of jealousy and ambition between implacable enemies, one which played a significant role in dragging England into a horrific civil war.", "### Richard, Duke of York", "The respective rises of York and Somerset was surprising, given the differences in both men's upbringing, but nonetheless the great rivals grew to harbour the same all-encompassing ambitions.", "Richard of York had an illustrious lineage, descended from Edward III twice over through the great king's second son Lionel, Duke of Clarence (though in the female line) and fourth son Edmund, Duke of York.", "It was a pedigree that arguably provided York with a superior claim to the throne than the incumbent Lancastrian dynasty, themselves descended from Edward III's third son, John of Gaunt (albeit crucially in the direct male line).", "Born on 21 September 1411, York's early life was tainted by his father's execution for treason by Henry IV when he was three, although he subsequently benefited as heir from the demise of his paternal uncle Edward, Duke of York, in 1415 and his maternal uncle Edward Mortimer, Earl of March, in 1425.", "When he reached 21 in 1432, Richard came into full custody of his inheritance, an array of titles that included the Duchy of York as well as the Earldoms of Cambridge, Ulster and March.", "Fully expecting a career in front-line politics, York was instead deployed to France in 1436 to serve as lieutenant, a tenure which finally expired in 1445.", "Having been deprived his lucrative post overseas by the king's failure to renew his lieutenancy, York returned to England where he soon grew outspoken against the plans of Henry VI and his chief councillor

loss of Normandy and growing political unrest created a volatile situation in England which manifested itself in the brutal extrajudicial executions of Adam Moleyns, Bishop of Chichester, and the Duke of Suffolk.", "In June 1450, a popular uprising led by a shadowy figure named Jack Cade caused further disarray throughout the land, prompting the celebrated return of York to the mainland in September, assuming the mantle as champion of the common man.", "It was a return that set him directly against the man who had replaced Suffolk as the king's second-in-command: Edmund Beaufort.", "###

Henry IV \u2013 the first Lancastrian sovereign \u2013 his Beaufort half-siblings, who had been retrospectively legitimised more than two decades after their birth, rose with him.", "Edmund's father John Beaufort, one of Henry IV's half-brothers, had been raised to the earldom of Somerset in 1397, a title which passed to his own heir Henry after the first earl's death in 1410 and consequently to his second son John after Henry's premature demise in 1418.", "The younger John Beaufort spent most of his life in French captivity after being caught after the battle of Baug\u00e9 in 1421, with his younger brother Edmund overseeing the family interests back in England.", "The younger John Beaufort, the 3rd Earl, was finally ransomed in 1438 and soon incurred the enduring enmity of Richard of York after he led an army into France in 1443, receiving men, money and resources denied to York, the lieutenant across the Channel.", "When John, elevated to the dukedom of Somerset that year to rival York's status, failed to take advantage of the opportunity granted him, he returned to England and died in uncertain circumstances the following year, leaving Edmund to once again pick up the pieces.", "The seeds of discord between York and the Beauforts had, however, already been sown, a feud which swiftly accelerated over the next decade.", "When York's tenure as lieutenant in France ended in 1445, the lucrative post was handed to John's younger brother Edmund, who was also raised from earl to duke of Somerset, a sign of his increasing prominence.", "Somerset's spell in France, however, proved disastrous and by 1450, he had overseen the complete loss of all English possessions in Normandy, including York's favoured fortress of Rouen, the mightiest in the region.", "Somerset's reputation collapsed amongst some of the nobility in England, particularly York, although he was infallible in the eyes of the man who mattered: Henry VI.", "When York returned from Ireland in September 1450, a clash with Somerset was inevitable.", "Quite simply, both dukes could not coexist peacefully, nor did either have any inclination to do so.", "York's intention was to assume command of the government on behalf of the unstable king, replacing the fallen Suffolk and re-establishing good governance and financial probity to the realm.", "York, however, was politely rebuffed, only to frustratingly see Edmund Beaufort handed such authority.", "### Rising rivalries between York and Beaufort", "In the November 1450 parliament, York's chamberlain William Oldhall attacked Somerset as speaker of the Commons, alleging the duke was abusing his position to the \"grete hurt, and trouble of the liege people of this your Reame\".", "Oldhall demanded Somerset \"be removed from youre most noble presense, persone and estate\" by 1 December, and forbidden from coming within 12 miles of the king.", "King Henry ignored such demands, however, which almost led to Somerset's lynching in an event which evoked memories of Suffolk's own extrajudicial execution six months earlier.", "On the evening of 1 December 1450, the date by which the Commons had demanded Somerset be removed from the king's presence, the Beaufort duke was feasting at the Blackfriars Priory in Ludgate when several armed soldiers attempted to break through the doors.", "The duke fled in panic through the priory until he reached a small boat on the nearby Thames, embarking before he could be seized by his pursuers.", "Somerset's flight was so sudden he was \"robbyde of alle hys goodys, and hys jewyllys were takyn and borne away\".", "Ten days later, his family seat at Corfe Castle in Dorset was ransacked by a Yorkist retainer, and for his protection, the duke was placed in the Tower of London.", "A political rivalry was rapidly descending into a blood-feud.", "Matters worsened in early 1452 when York, infuriated by Somerset's attempts to take revenge on Oldhall, raised an army to counter the \"envy, malice and untruth\" of his rival, who \"ever prevaileth and ruleth about the King's person\".", "Persuaded to stand down before he led his men into battle against a royal army, York was humiliated when forced to swear fealty to the king outside St Paul's like a common traitor, and trudged back to his estates whilst Somerset's supremacy continued unabated.", "In October 1453, Henry VI collapsed into a catatonic stupor probably triggered by the loss of Aquitaine after 300 years in English possession, and York was recalled by parliament.", "With popular support amongst the commons, York was appointed Protector and Somerset was imprisoned, a state of affairs that remained in place for the next 14 months.", "Henry regained his senses on Christmas Day 1454, and by February 1455 Somerset had reclaimed his erstwhile position.", "York, meanwhile, was unceremoniously dismissed from office.", "His response was decisive.", "The duke again raised an army, but this time there would be no submission.", "On 22 May 1455, as the royal household approached St Albans fronted by the king and his Beaufort right-hand, York was waiting, buoyed by the Neville father-and-son earls of Salisbury and Warwick.", "When the attack came, it was swift and fierce, with one man above all targeted.", "Edmund Beaufort was cornered underneath a pub with the sign of a castle (as an old prophecy had allegedly foretold) and despite a valiant resistance, was cut down in his prime.", "At last, York had emerged victorious against his great rival.", "### Edward IV and

Beaufort's heir was Henry Beaufort, an impetuous youth wholly preoccupied with avenging his father's death.", "In October 1456, the new Duke of Somerset, barely 20-years-old, attempted to ambush York at a council meeting, and over the next few years remained hostile towards the man he understandably held responsible for Edmund's assassination.", "Political revenge for young Somerset occurred with York's flight from England in October 1459, but physical revenge was far more satisfying.", "On 30 December 1460, Henry Beaufort outmanoeuvred York outside the latter's Sandal Castle near Wakefield, and the mighty duke was surrounded and killed.", "York's head was spiked upon a City of York gateway.", "Just as Henry of Somerset sought and achieved vengeance for his father, so too did York's own son, the 18-year-old force of nature that was Edward of March.", "Edward wasted little time, and on Palm Sunday in a snowstorm at Towton destroyed Somerset's Lancastrian army, scattering his enemies and claiming the throne as Edward IV, the first monarch of the House of York.", "Somerset was attacked in Edward's first parliament for acting with \"extreme and insatiate malice and violence\" in slaying the new king's father.", "After Edward's Yorkist forces destroyed Somerset's Lancastrian forces at Towton, he claimed the throne as Edward IV.", "Portrait by an unkown artist.", "(Photo by VCG

and John.", "Both were killed fighting against King Edward at Tewkesbury in 1471.", "### Richard III and Henry Tudor", "Although the male Beaufort line ended at Tewkesbury, there would be one last flurry of activity in the three-decade-long York-Beaufort rivalry, a violent dispute unquestionably at the heart of the wider dynastic conflicts tearing the kingdom apart.", "This last confrontation

"The Wars of the Roses have been long renowned as a feud between the houses of York and Lancaster \u2013 but can the conflict instead be seen as a deadly grudge between York and Beaufort?", "Nathen Amin examines the relationships and rivalries between key figures of the two houses\u2026", "November 27, 2017 at 2:13 pm", "The 15th-century civil war known as the Wars of the Roses is rightly regarded as one of the most complex and unquestionably captivating periods in European history.", "It was a three-decade long, destructive conflict that tore the upper echelons of the English nobility apart in a manner not witnessed since the Anarchy in the mid-12th century, that equally fierce war of succession between Empress Matilda and her cousin Stephen of Blois.", "Starting with the very first skirmish, fought fiercely through the narrow streets of St Albans on 22 May 1455, through to the bloody battle of Bosworth on 22 August 1485, the Wars of the Roses have long become renowned for the deadly feud between the houses of York and Lancaster, the white rose and the red, driven apart by unshakable enmity and unrepentant hatred.", "On closer inspection, however, it could be argued the conflict largely stemmed from the rivalry between the heads of the houses of York and Beaufort, with Henry VI, the Lancastrian king, just a witless onlooker.", "Nathen Amin will be speaking on Henry VII and the Pretenders to the Tudor Crown at our Kings and Queens Weekend in March 2019.", "Find out more here", "By 1450, several prominent families jostled for supremacy at the apex of English society, including the Nevilles, Percys, Staffords, Bourchiers, Courtenays and Hollands.", "The two most prominent figures, however, were the heads of the houses of York and Beaufort \u2013 Richard, Duke of York, and Edmund Beaufort, Duke of Somerset.", "The breakdown in relations between the pair is a story of jealousy and ambition between implacable enemies, one which played a significant role in dragging England into a horrific civil war.", "### Richard, Duke of York", "The respective rises of York and Somerset was surprising, given the differences in both men's upbringing, but nonetheless the great rivals grew to harbour the same all-encompassing ambitions.", "Richard of York had an illustrious lineage, descended from Edward III twice over through the great king's second son Lionel, Duke of Clarence (though in the female line) and fourth son Edmund, Duke of York.", "It was a pedigree that arguably provided York with a superior claim to the throne than the incumbent Lancastrian dynasty, themselves descended from Edward III's third son, John of Gaunt (albeit crucially in the direct male line).", "Born on 21 September 1411, York's early life was tainted by his father's execution for treason by Henry IV when he was three, although he subsequently benefited as heir from the demise of his paternal uncle Edward, Duke of York, in 1415 and his maternal uncle Edward Mortimer, Earl of March, in 1425.", "When he reached 21 in 1432, Richard came into full custody of his inheritance, an array of titles that included the Duchy of York as well as the Earldoms of Cambridge, Ulster and March.", "Fully expecting a career in front-line politics, York was instead deployed to France in 1436 to serve as lieutenant, a tenure which finally expired in 1445.", "Having been deprived his lucrative post overseas by the king's failure to renew his lieutenancy, York returned to England where he soon grew outspoken against the plans of Henry VI and his chief councillor William de la Pole, Duke of Suffolk, to attempt peace with France.", "As a result, York was appointed lieutenant of Ireland in 1447, a position intended to remove him from the political scene.", "Richard Duke Of York, c 1450.", "(Photo by Hulton Archive/Getty Images)", "Departing in June 1449, he wouldn't remain across the Irish Sea for long.", "The following year, widespread anger at the loss of Normandy and growing political unrest created a volatile situation in England which manifested itself in the brutal extrajudicial executions of Adam Moleyns, Bishop of Chichester, and the Duke of Suffolk.", "In June 1450, a popular uprising led by a shadowy figure named Jack Cade caused further disarray throughout the land, prompting the celebrated return of York to the mainland in September, assuming the mantle as champion of the common man.", "It was a return that set him directly against the man who had replaced Suffolk as the king's second-in-command: Edmund Beaufort.", "### Edmund Beaufort, Duke of Somerset", "Unlike York, Somerset could not boast of a considerable inheritance and a collection of noble titles, but he did share descent from Edward III.", "The Beauforts were an illegitimate brood born to John of Gaunt, Duke of Lancaster and a third son of King Edward.", "When Gaunt's eldest legitimate heir, Henry of Bolingbroke usurped the throne in 1399 to become Henry IV \u2013 the first Lancastrian sovereign \u2013 his Beaufort half-siblings, who had been retrospectively legitimised more than two decades after their birth, rose with him.", "Edmund's father John Beaufort, one of Henry IV's half-brothers, had been raised to the earldom of Somerset in 1397, a title which passed to his own heir Henry after the first earl's death in 1410 and consequently to his second son John after Henry's premature demise in 1418.", "The younger John Beaufort spent most of his life in French captivity after being caught after the battle of Baug\u00e9 in 1421, with his younger brother Edmund overseeing the family interests back in England.", "The younger John Beaufort, the 3rd Earl, was finally ransomed in 1438 and soon incurred the enduring enmity of Richard of York after he led an army into France in 1443, receiving men, money and resources denied to York, the lieutenant across the Channel.", "When John, elevated to the dukedom of Somerset that year to rival York's status, failed to take advantage of the opportunity granted him, he returned to England and died in uncertain circumstances the following year, leaving Edmund to once again pick up the pieces.", "The seeds of discord between York and the Beauforts had, however, already been sown, a feud which swiftly accelerated over the next decade.", "When York's tenure as lieutenant in France ended in 1445, the lucrative post was handed to John's younger brother Edmund, who was also raised from earl to duke of Somerset, a sign of his increasing prominence.", "Somerset's spell in France, however, proved disastrous and by 1450, he had overseen the complete loss of all English possessions in Normandy, including York's favoured fortress of Rouen, the mightiest in the region.", "Somerset's reputation collapsed amongst some of the nobility in England, particularly York, although he was infallible in the eyes of the man who mattered: Henry VI.", "When York returned from Ireland in September 1450, a clash with Somerset was inevitable.", "Quite simply, both dukes could not coexist peacefully, nor did either have any inclination to do so.", "York's intention was to assume command of the government on behalf of the unstable king, replacing the fallen Suffolk and re-establishing good governance and financial probity to the realm.", "York, however, was politely rebuffed, only to frustratingly see Edmund Beaufort handed such authority.", "### Rising rivalries between York and Beaufort", "In the November 1450 parliament, York's chamberlain William Oldhall attacked Somerset as speaker of the Commons, alleging the duke was abusing his position to the \"grete hurt, and trouble of the liege people of this your Reame\".", "Oldhall demanded Somerset \"be removed from youre most noble presense, persone and estate\" by 1 December, and forbidden from coming within 12 miles of the king.", "King Henry ignored such demands, however, which almost led to Somerset's lynching in an event which evoked memories of Suffolk's own extrajudicial execution six months earlier.", "On the evening of 1 December 1450, the date by which the Commons had demanded Somerset be removed from the king's presence, the Beaufort duke was feasting at the Blackfriars Priory in Ludgate when several armed soldiers attempted to break through the doors.", "The duke fled in panic through the priory until he reached a small boat on the nearby Thames, embarking before he could be seized by his pursuers.", "Somerset's flight was so sudden he was \"robbyde of alle hys goodys, and hys jewyllys were takyn and borne away\".", "Ten days later, his family seat at Corfe Castle in Dorset was ransacked by a Yorkist retainer, and for his protection, the duke was placed in the Tower of London.", "A political rivalry was rapidly descending into a blood-feud.", "Matters worsened in early 1452 when York, infuriated by Somerset's attempts to take revenge on Oldhall, raised an army to counter the \"envy, malice and untruth\" of his rival, who \"ever prevaileth and ruleth about the King's person\".", "Persuaded to stand down before he led his men into battle against a royal army, York was humiliated when forced to swear fealty to the king outside St Paul's like a common traitor, and trudged back to his estates whilst Somerset's supremacy continued unabated.", "In October 1453, Henry VI collapsed into a catatonic stupor probably triggered by the loss of Aquitaine after 300 years in English possession, and York was recalled by parliament.", "With popular support amongst the commons, York was appointed Protector and Somerset was imprisoned, a state of affairs that remained in place for the next 14 months.", "Henry regained his senses on Christmas Day 1454, and by February 1455 Somerset had reclaimed his erstwhile position.", "York, meanwhile, was unceremoniously dismissed from office.", "His response was decisive.", "The duke again raised an army, but this time there would be no submission.", "On 22 May 1455, as the royal household approached St Albans fronted by the king and his Beaufort right-hand, York was waiting, buoyed by the Neville father-and-son earls of Salisbury and Warwick.", "When the attack came, it was swift and fierce, with one man above all targeted.", "Edmund Beaufort was cornered underneath a pub with the sign of a castle (as an old prophecy had allegedly foretold) and despite a valiant resistance, was cut down in his prime.", "At last, York had emerged victorious against his great rival.", "### Edward IV and Henry Beaufort, duke of Somerset", "St Albans didn't mark the end of the York-Beaufort rivalry.", "Nor could it, for following generations bore grudges of their own with good reason.", "Edmund Beaufort's heir was Henry Beaufort, an impetuous youth wholly preoccupied with avenging his father's death.", "In October 1456, the new Duke of Somerset, barely 20-years-old, attempted to ambush York at a council meeting, and over the next few years remained hostile towards the man he understandably held responsible for Edmund's assassination.", "Political revenge for young Somerset occurred with York's flight from England in October 1459, but physical revenge was far more satisfying.", "On 30 December 1460, Henry Beaufort outmanoeuvred York outside the latter's Sandal Castle near Wakefield, and the mighty duke was surrounded and killed.", "York's head was spiked upon a City of York gateway.", "Just as Henry of Somerset sought and achieved vengeance for his father, so too did York's own son, the 18-year-old force of nature that was Edward of March.", "Edward wasted little time, and on Palm Sunday in a snowstorm at Towton destroyed Somerset's Lancastrian army, scattering his enemies and claiming the throne as Edward IV, the first monarch of the House of York.", "Somerset was attacked in Edward's first parliament for acting with \"extreme and insatiate malice and violence\" in slaying the new king's father.", "After Edward's Yorkist forces destroyed Somerset's Lancastrian forces at Towton, he claimed the throne as Edward IV.", "Portrait by an unkown artist.", "(Photo by VCG Wilson/Corbis via Getty Images)", "Thereafter, the Beaufort duke focused on reclaiming the crown for his Lancastrian kin, and campaigned with considerable vigour in the northern parts of England \u2013 capturing, losing, and capturing again, several Northumbrian castles.", "Edward had successfully quelled resistance throughout England but struggled to fend of his Beaufort foe in the north-east.", "In a curious twist to the relentless York-Beaufort rivalry, the king extended an olive branch to the duke, who surprisingly accepted, defecting from the hopeless Lancastrian cause and attaching himself to the ascendant Yorkist regime.", "Somerset was pardoned, and the two erstwhile enemies became fast friends, riding and hunting together, and even sharing a bed.", "The king, it was said, \"lovyed hym welle\".", "And yet, Somerset soon defected for a second time.", "It was a decision that would cost him his life.", "On 15 May 1464, another unit of Somerset's army was routed near Hexham in Northumberland by a Yorkist force led by John Neville, Marquess Montagu, and the Beaufort duke was executed shortly thereafter in the market square.", "This second-generation Beaufort-York rivalry between the sons of Edmund Beaufort and Richard of York would stumble on for another seven years, with Henry Beaufort's resistance to Yorkist rule assumed by his two younger brothers, Edmund and John.", "Both were killed fighting against King Edward at Tewkesbury in 1471.", "### Richard III and Henry Tudor", "Although the male Beaufort line ended at Tewkesbury, there would be one last flurry of activity in the three-decade-long York-Beaufort rivalry, a violent dispute unquestionably at the heart of the wider dynastic conflicts tearing the kingdom apart.", "This last confrontation would not feature a Beaufort by name, however, but rather one bearing the name Tudor \u2013 Henry Tudor.", "Richard III controversially assumed kingship in 1783.", "(Photo by: Universal History Archive/UIG via Getty Images)", "Richard III had controversially assumed kingship in the aftermath of the political machinations of 1483, a rise which divided the alienated household of his brother Edward IV.", "Those who didn't support Richard's alleged deposing of Edward's young namesake heir, the 12-year-old Edward V, and 10-year-old Richard of Shrewsbury, Duke of York, elected to flee abroad to Brittany, where they sensationally proposed Henry Tudor as an alternative king, with the added provision he married Edward's daughter Elizabeth of York.", "Henry's claim was slight, and derived from his mother Margaret Beaufort, the niece of Edmund Beaufort and cousin of Henry Beaufort, those erstwhile foes of the Yorks.", "Although Tudor by name, Henry unquestionably took considerable pride in his Beaufort pedigree.", "He was successful in wresting the throne from Richard at the battle of Bosworth on 22 August 1485, and thereafter liberally employed the Beaufort portcullis as one of his chief royal badges, arguably second only to the red-and-white union rose he devised to symbolise the union of the two warring houses.", "Henry VII employed the Beaufort portcullis as one of his chief royal badges, says Nathen Amin.", "(Photo by The Print Collector/Print Collector/Getty Images)", "The Wars of the Roses occurred for a myriad of reasons that have been explored in many histories, from the fallout arising from the deposition of Richard II, to the recriminations after the loss of France and divisive factional feuds which a weak king in Henry VI failed to quell.", "Throughout the 30 years of brutal warfare, however, from the first battle at St Albans in 1455 to the iconic showdown between Richard III and Henry VII in 1485, one constant remained the driving factor throughout

The earliest bipedal hominin is considered to be either \"Sahelanthropus\" or \"Orrorin\", with \"Ardipithecus\", a full bipedal, coming somewhat later. The knuckle walkers, the gorilla and chimpanzee, diverged around the same time, and either \"Sahelanthropus\" or \"Orrorin\" may be humans' last shared ancestor with those animals. The early bipedals eventually evolved into the australopithecines and later the genus \"Homo\". There are several theories of the adaptational value of bipedalism. It is possible that bipedalism was favored because it freed up the hands for reaching and carrying food, because it saved energy during locomotion, because it enabled long distance running and hunting, or as a strategy for avoiding hyperthermia by reducing the surface exposed to direct sun. \n The human species developed a much larger brain than that of other primates\u2014 typically 1,330\u00a0cm (81\u00a0cu\u00a0in) in modern humans, over twice the size of that of a chimpanzee or gorilla.

The earliest bipedal hominin is considered to be either \"Sahelanthropus\" or \"Orrorin\", with \"Ardipithecus\", a full bipedal, coming somewhat later. The knuckle walkers, the gorilla and chimpanzee, diverged around the same time, and either \"Sahelanthropus\" or \"Orrorin\" may be humans' last shared ancestor with those animals. The early bipedals eventually evolved into the australopithecines and later the genus \"Homo\". There are several theories of the adaptational value of bipedalism. It is possible that bipedalism was favored because it freed up the hands for reaching and carrying food, because it saved energy during locomotion, because it enabled long distance running and hunting, or as a strategy for avoiding hyperthermia by reducing the surface exposed to direct sun. \n The human species developed a much larger brain than that of other primates\u2014 typically 1,330\u00a0cm (81\u00a0cu\u00a0in) in modern humans, over twice the size of that of a chimpanzee or gorilla.

The earliest bipedal hominin is considered to be either \"Sahelanthropus\" or \"Orrorin\", with \"Ardipithecus\", a full bipedal, coming somewhat later. The knuckle walkers, the gorilla and chimpanzee, diverged around the same time, and either \"Sahelanthropus\" or \"Orrorin\" may be humans' last shared ancestor with those animals. The early bipedals eventually evolved into the australopithecines and later the genus \"Homo\". There are several theories of the adaptational value of bipedalism. It is possible that bipedalism was favored because it freed up the hands for reaching and carrying food, because it saved energy during locomotion, because it enabled long distance running and hunting, or as a strategy for avoiding hyperthermia by reducing the surface exposed to direct sun. \n The human species developed a much larger brain than that of other primates\u2014 typically 1,330\u00a0cm (81\u00a0cu\u00a0in) in modern humans, over twice the size of that of a chimpanzee or gorilla.

The earliest bipedal hominin is considered to be either \"Sahelanthropus\" or \"Orrorin\", with \"Ardipithecus\", a full bipedal, coming somewhat later. The knuckle walkers, the gorilla and chimpanzee, diverged around the same time, and either \"Sahelanthropus\" or \"Orrorin\" may be humans' last shared ancestor with those animals. The early bipedals eventually evolved into the australopithecines and later the genus \"Homo\". There are several theories of the adaptational value of bipedalism. It is possible that bipedalism was favored because it freed up the hands for reaching and carrying food, because it saved energy during locomotion, because it enabled long distance running and hunting, or as a strategy for avoiding hyperthermia by reducing the surface exposed to direct sun. \n The human species developed a much larger brain than that of other primates\u2014 typically 1,330\u00a0cm (81\u00a0cu\u00a0in) in modern humans, over twice the size of that of a chimpanzee or gorilla.

many postcranial elements, including one neck vertebra, several ribs, a humerus, the clavicles, a femur, a tibia, and one fibula.", "The site is very important in that it is likely one of the earliest instances of purposeful burial, and has been dated to approximately 70 kyr.", "The skeleton was surrounded by what seems to be purposefully arranged Siberian ibex (a wild goat) skulls.", "Also, these faunal remains may be indicative of purposeful hunting, as there are few carnivore bones, and the many goat bones show little to no signs of carnivore activity.", "While this specimen is that of a young juvenile, he had developed several traits that clearly link it to European Neanderthals.", "These features include:", "A large face and nasal region.", "A developing browridge.", "A receding forehead.", "A long cranium.", "It lacks a mental symphysis.", "A large cranial capacity of approximately 1500 cc.", "The material from Kebara Cave, Israel, was discovered in several phases of excavations.", "The first hominid found was the fragmentary remains of an infant (Kebara 1), and in 1983, the better known Kebara 2 specimen was recovered.", "This material has been dated by both thermoluminescence and ESR dating to approximately 60 kyr.", "The Kebara 2 specimen consists of the upper part of a male postcranial skeleton, as well as a mandible, a hyoid, and a single M3.", "The Kebara 2 specimen is one of the few complete pelves known between the australopithecines and modern humans, however, as with just about every complete fossil pelvis that is currently known, it is from a male individual.", "The Kebara 2 individual is estimated to have stood about 173 cm tall, and to have weight approximately 76 kg, significantly smaller than estimates for European Neanderthal specimens of similar height, such as La Ferrassie.", "The recovery of the hyoid bone was a very important find, as it disproved earlier theories that Neanderthals and other pre-sapiens hominids were incapable of speech due to the lack of a hyoid.", "Neanderthals did possess a hyoid, and this scenario of speechlessness based on this bone was discredited.", "The individual was between the ages of 25 and 35 when he died, and he can be securely attributed to Neanderthals based on the several features, including the presence of a retromolar space, an the lack of a mental eminence.", "The material from Amud Cave, Israel, consist of the fragmentary remains of a male, along with 15 other specimens, two-thirds of which are children or infants.", "This material has been dated by thermoluminescence

mid 20s, was approximately 174 cm tall, and has the largest cranial capacity of any Levant hominid at 1740 cc.", "While these remains are clearly Neanderthal, these specimens show more affinity to the Shanidar Neanderthals rather than the \"classic\" European Neanderthals.", "For example, when compared to the European Neanderthals and the Skhul H. sapiens, the Amud material actually shows greater affinity to the sapiens of Skhul than to the European Neanderthals.", "The Shanidar Cave, in the Zagros Mountains of Iraq, is also the site of a well-preserved Neanderthal sample.", "The sample consists of two groups from two different time periods, the earlier group has been dated to approximately 60 kyr, and a later group that has been estimated to date to approximately 46 kyr.", "The two samples consist of the remains of nine individuals, two children and seven adults.", "The Shanidar specimens are the focus of some debate over the possibility that flowers were laid over the grave.", "Many researchers hold doubts to the validity of this claim, saying that the researchers that led the excavation might have carried pollen in accidentally with them.", "However, D. Frayer has pointed out that the pollen was from late spring/early summer flowers, and the excavation was conducted in August, so the debate is likely to rage on.", "The early group consists of Shanidar 2, 4, 6, 7, 8, 9, and the later group consists of Shanidar 1, 3, and 5.", "An early Neanderthal find whose description led to several unfortunate outcomes is that of La Chapelle-aux-Saints.", "This specimen was discovered by monks during construction of an abbey in 1908, and the remains were sent to M. Boule, who proceeded to describe the specimen as the \"typical\" Neanderthal, thus leading to the description of \"classic\" Neanderthal features.", "However, Neanderthals are a highly variable species, and La Chapelle-aux-Saints shows many of the most extreme degree of the Neanderthal features.", "Also, Boule used the state of the fossil to construct an image of Neanderthals as ape-like primitive creatures, which could not possibly be related to humans.", "Beyond Boule's prejudices regarding the pattern of human evolution, the fact that the specimen was that of an arthritic \"old man\" (aged at between 40 and 50 years of age), which further skewed the description of Neanderthals as a species.", "This specimen has all the traits of the \"classic\" Neanderthal, for example, the large brain size (1625 cc), the heavy supraorbital torus, etc.", "This specimen is dated to approximately 50 kyr.", "Another early discovery of Neanderthal remains came in 1909, when the remains from La Ferrassie were first uncovered.", "This site is dated to approximately 50 kyr, and has yielded the remains of seven individuals.", "The best known is La Ferrassie 1, the nearly complete skeleton of a middle-aged male Neanderthal, also discovered was a fairly complete adult female specimen, and five juvenile specimens ranging from prenatal to ten years of age.", "The remains seem to have been purposely buried.", "The La Ferrassie 1 specimen (along with La Chapelle-aux-Saints) founded the description of the \"classic\" Neanderthal anatomy, with such features as:", "A receding forehead.", "A long low cranial vault.", "The base of the skull is wider than the top of the skull.", "Prominent double-arched browridges.", "Midface prognathism.", "Retreated zygomatics.", "A weakly developed mental eminence.", "A retromolar space behind the M3.", "Large cranial capacity (over 1600 cc).", "Late Surviving Neanderthals", "The late surviving Neanderthal sites have started to become better known in recent years, and new discoveries and new dating have clouded the supposedly clear picture of replacement of Neanderthals by incoming H. sapiens populations.", "This is an exciting field of research at the moment, and only time will tell which evolutionary model os better born out by the evidence.", "Sites of late surviving Neanderthals are those that date to after 45 kyr, and especially those dating to after 35 kyr.", "Sites that are on that list include: La Quina, Zafarraya, Hortus, Vindija, Kulna, \u0160ipka, Saint C\u00e9saire, Arcy-Sur-Cure, Bacho Kiro, El Castillo, B\u00f1nolas, Devil's Tower, and Le Moustier.", "The cave site at l'Horus in southern France has yielded about 50 hominid fragments which date to the latest part of W\u00fcrm II.", "Most of the remains are pieces of jawas and teeth, but there are some cranial fragments and postcranial remains mixed in as well.", "These remains have been claimed as evidence that the late Neanderthals were not evolving towards the modern human condition, but have also been used to claim that they were evolving in the modern human condition.", "What can be said is the remains show several Neanderthal features (e.g., a poorly developed mental eminence), but also show soe reduction in the anterior dentition relative to earlier Neanderthals.", "The material has been interpreted as the remains left in a hyena den.", "The site of Vindija is becoming a very important site in the debate over assimilation versus replacement of the Neanderthals.", "There are several layers to the site, and the material in them dates from 42 kyr to as late as 32 kyr in the upper layers.", "The Vindija hominids have been put forth as a population that derives from both Neanderthal and incoming sapiens populations, or an influx of gene flow into the Neanderthal populations of Europe.", "The remains from the earlier level (G3) date to approximately 42 kyr, and are contemporary with the l'Horus remains.", "In support of the assimilation theory is evidence that these Neanderthals were evolving in a way that was leading them to the modern human condition.", "For example:", "A reduced midface prognathism and a less projecting upper face.", "Thinner and less projecting supraorbitals.", "A narrower nasal aperture, more prominent nasal spine, and a smaller facial height below it.", "A reduced breadth for the anterior teeth.", "The absence of occipital bunning.", "Thinner cranial bones.", "Definite presence of a mental eminence (though not prominent).", "Some early criticisms attributed these modern affinites to the specimens being subadults or smaller than \"normal\" Neanderthals, but the remains have been well-reviewed, and seem to be full adults whose size compares favorably to earlier Neanderthal populations.", "The most recent stratigraphic level from Vindija (G1) dates to approximately 32 kyr, and has been claimed to be late surviving Neanderthals with modern human affinities, as well as the remains of modern human beings, with no affiliation to the European Neanderthals.", "This question is directly involved with the split bone points that have been found in this level, since these have been identified as Aurignacian, which have generally been considered a H. sapiens industry.", "If the points are associated with the human remains at the site, it means that either the Aurignacian industry was transmitted to the Neanderthals from incoming humans, or the industry developed independently in both populations.", "The human remains from this level seem to definitely be of Neanderthal affinity, as seen when they are compared to the earlier remains from the G3 level.", "The remains of the Saint-C\u00e9saire skeleton was discovered at a limestone cave at Pierrot's Rock, near Charente-Maritime, France, in 1979.", "The remains consist of the right half of a skull, some ribs, a shoulder blade, two arm bones, and fragments of a kneecap and the tibias which have been dated to approximately 36 kyr.", "At one time, it was considered the last surviving Neanderthal.", "The specimen shows many definitive Neanderthal traits, such as:", "Absence of a canine fossa.", "Presence of a retromolar space.", "Lack of a mental eminence.", "Some consider the Saint C\u00e9saire skeleton as showing evidence of a transition of the Neanderthals to a more modern human-like form.", "Others claim that the differences between the sapiens populations in Europe and the late surviving Neanderthals is so great to preclude the possibility of an ancestor/descendent relationship since the timeframe is so short.", "Some of the features that have been claimed to show affinities to modern Europeans include:", "Central and lateral supraorbital thinning.", "A reduction in the thickness of the supraorbital torus.", "A reduction of midfacial prognathism.", "Reduced anterior tooth size.", "Smaller, lower appearing orbits.", "Smaller zygomatics.", "A markedly narrower nose.", "A flattened rear surface of the mastoid process.", "The material from the Chatelperronian levels of the Grotte du Renne at Arcy-sur-Cure, France, has been dated to approximately 34 kyr.", "This material consists of isolated teeth with definite Neanderthal like affinities, and a child's temporal fragment whose inner ear morphology links it to Neanderthals rather than modern humans.", "The importance of Arcy-sur-Cure is in the association of these remains with personal adornment articles that were similar to those from Aurignacian sites nearby.", "This is yet another link between the Neanderthals and the Aurignacian industry that discredits the idea that the Neanderthals were not associated with that particular industry.", "What may be the latest surviving Neanderthals currently known comes from the Zafarraya Cave, near Andalucia, Spain.", "The upper levels of this site have been thorium/uranium and C14 to approximately 27 kyr, and the sequence may extend as late as 25 kyr.", "Material from the site include a nearly complete mandible, a mandible that has been burnt, a partial Os coxa, a femur, and an upper incisor.", "The femur shows affinities with both Neanderthals (thick cortical bone, circular midshaft cross-section), but also shows affinities to later Europeans (development of a pilaster, thin femoral neck dimensions, shaft expanded anteriorly-posteriorly).", "The complete mandible more closely links this material to Neanderthals, with features such as:", "Small teeth with a very robust mandibular corpus.", "A vertical symphysis with a mental trigone.", "A slight mental eminence.", "A mental foramen positioned under the P4.", "A gap between the front of the ascending ramus and the back of the third molar.", "Moderately large anterior teeth.", "The eventual fate of the Neanderthals in the modern human phylogeny is still a much questioned issue, and a vigorously debated one.", "However, one thing is certain, the issue is not as cut and dry as many supporters of the Out of Africa II theory oftentimes claim.", "It seems highly unlikely that the Neanderthals contributed absolutely nothing to the modern genome, but whether they left a large heritage in modern

The earliest bipedal hominin is considered to be either \"Sahelanthropus\" or \"Orrorin\", with \"Ardipithecus\", a full bipedal, coming somewhat later. The knuckle walkers, the gorilla and chimpanzee, diverged around the same time, and either \"Sahelanthropus\" or \"Orrorin\" may be humans' last shared ancestor with those animals. The early bipedals eventually evolved into the australopithecines and later the genus \"Homo\". There are several theories of the adaptational value of bipedalism. It is possible that bipedalism was favored because it freed up the hands for reaching and carrying food, because it saved energy during locomotion, because it enabled long distance running and hunting, or as a strategy for avoiding hyperthermia by reducing the surface exposed to direct sun. \n The human species developed a much larger brain than that of other primates\u2014 typically 1,330\u00a0cm (81\u00a0cu\u00a0in) in modern humans, over twice the size of that of a chimpanzee or gorilla.

elements, making them work on their own terms?", "In matters of camera positioning, shot sequencing, pacing, were there films you looked at to figure out, How should I handle this?", "Sure.", "Since I was making the film with other people's money, I embraced the fact that I was making a film for a larger audience.", "I love Carl Dreyer as much as the next cinephile, but I grew up loving Hitchock,

physical comedy set pieces.", "The \"normal\" scenes of relationship could have been pulled straight from Gabi, but even those could be viewed as refering back to Cassavetes or Altman.", "It's hard to

as you shot Gabi in Greenpoint when you were living there.", "What are the advantages, aside from not spending money on a location shoot, of shooting where you live?", "What inspires you about the place where you live, and how would you say we see that on screen?", "Yeah, we had to do the film the way we did.", "We needed to shoot in our own apartment because we couldn't afford to rent someone else's.", "It was challenging to shoot so much where we lived.", "Sets are very chaotic and it's nice to have a home you can retreat to when you aren't shooting.", "We didn't really have that.", "Our place was turned upside down.", "I guess the advantage would be that somehow our familiarity with our surroundings informed our performances and made them more grounded, but Alia Shawkat, who plays our roommate in the film, seems totally comfortable and grounded and she never spent a night in our place, so\u2026 I'd say the advantages are nil.", "Looks like we're probably leaving New York indefinitely in a few months, so your question is interesting in light of that fact.", "I'd intended for Wild Canaries to be love letter to Brooklyn, but all the stresses of the city are what actually dominate the film.", "New York has become a very difficult place for middle-class people to stay afloat and that kind of financial anxiety is what motivates much of the film's action, so I guess you could say Wild Canaries is a kind of poisoned valentine to New York.", "At what point in your writing process do you share your work with colleagues and solicit feedback\u2014how far along are you?",

of yourselves in Joe Swanberg's Zone, a film with some second-half psychological meltdowns inspired by the premise that to make art is to reveal deep, true, potentially hurtful parts of yourself that you can't take back.", "In general, is that a premise you'd dispute, or something you embrace?", "I would not dispute that premise at all.", "Art is a an endeavor that calls for artists to share their deepest truths and that can be complicated when you are working with loved ones.", "In everyday life, we often dissemble or equivocate to make our day go smoother, but if you do that in art, you make boring work.", "When I work closely with Sophia, we often argue because the things we're revealing through our work make the other person uncomfortable, but we endure it, either because we love making art or because we'd rather argue and live in our truth than not argue and live in a lie, or maybe both.", "Sophia was really the only person that I could have the kind of relationship I had on Gabi with, because we live together and talk about our projects constantly.", "She had a lot of input on the script and her character from the very beginning.", "She was always reading what I was writing and giving me feedback and encouragement.", "Her influence is all over them film.", "I'm always open to input from actors and crew members, but in the case of this film, with the exception of Sophia, that all happened on set.", "We didn't have the money for rehearsal time, so any discussions about the material occurred during the shoot.", "They happened, but it wasn't like Gabi where these kinds

Charlie and his three brothers learned about the wilderness from their father, assisting him as adventure guides and cameramen. His brothers went to college and became biologists, while Charlie became a rancher. But he was fascinated by grizzly bears, trying to overcome their image as savage killers by making his cattle ranch open to grizzlies and leading ecotourists on bear-viewing trips (as opposed to hunting which had previously been the objective of grizzly tours). He has tried, mostly unsuccessfully, to convince wildlife officials to treat bears with respect and trust, arguing that it is people's fear of bears and aggressive actions toward them that makes them dangerous. \n Russell is best known for his ten years of field work in Kamchatka, where he taught local guides how to lead bear-viewing tours. He began to buy orphaned grizzly cubs from zoos, taking them into remote areas of Kamchatka and teaching them to be wild. He has been the subject of two television documentaries: \"Walking with Giants: The Grizzlies of Siberia\" (PBS, 1999) and \"Bear Man of Kamchatka\" (BBC, 2006). He died after complications from a surgery. The surgery was at a hospital in Calgary, Alberta."}} {"label": "not_supported", "supporting_sentences": [[]], "claim": "The event has been a Formula Three race since the 1983 edition.", "evidence": ["(meta data) TITLE: Young men go east | Motor Sport Magazine Archive", "5 captures", "05 Oct 2017 - 17 Jan 2022", "About this capture", "COLLECTED BY", "Organization: Alexa Crawls", "Starting in 1996, Alexa Internet has been donating their crawl data to the Internet Archive.", "Flowing in every day, these data are added to the Wayback Machine after an embargo period.", "Collection: Alexa Crawls", "Starting in 1996, Alexa Internet has been donating their crawl data to the Internet Archive.", "Flowing in every day, these data are added to the Wayback Machine after an embargo period.", "The Wayback Machine - https://web.archive.org/web/20171005213006/http://www.motorsportmagazine.com:80/archive/article/november-2005/74/young-men-go-east", "#### Status message", "You have now viewed 3/10 free articles", "## 2000s", "2000200120022003200420052006200720082009Full Archive", "Page 74, November 2005", "# Young men go east", "## Related articles", "Page 6, September 2003", "### Teddy Yip", "Enigmatic Formula One and Champ Car team owner Teddy Yip has died in his 90s.", "A businessman based in Macau, Yip raced in the 1960s, but it was as the owner of Theodore Racing that he was best known...", "Page 31, December 2003", "### This month in...", "Juha Kankkunen scores a record-breaking 20th WRC victory in his Toyota Celica on the RAC Rally.", "Carlos Sainz signs to join Colin McRae at Subaru for '94 following Lancia's withdrawal.", "German...", "Page 140, July 2015", "### The nearly man", "Long before double Indy 500 winner Juan Pablo Montoya, Colombia had another racing son.", "Talent helped him shine, but misfortune cast its shadow", "Writer Sam Smith", "Perhaps the writing was on the...", "Page 64, May 2003", "### Latent Orient", "Fifteen minutes of fame", "Hayashi: Macau Grand Prix \u2013 November 15, 1981", "Japanese cars and drivers tend not to travel well, but 22 years ago a little-known marque from the Land of the Rising Sun...", "Page 64, March 1979", "### Formula Pacific Review", "Fabi's March wins the title in New Zealand", "New Zealand's annual International motor racing championship, for Formula Atlantic cars, was won this January by the little Italian Teodorico Fabi in his...", "## Tags", "### People", "Ayrton Senna", "Barry Bland", "Bob Harper", "Dick Bennetts", "Eddie Jordan Racing Rafts", "Gary Anderson-designed Ansons", "Gerhard Berger", "Jo Ramirez", "Marcus Simmons", "Martin Brundle", "Masahiro Hasemi", "Phil Taylor", "Roberto Guerrero", "Roberto Moreno", "Roger Santos", "Ron Frost", "Teddy Yip", "Tiff Needell", "Tommy Byrne", "Vern Schuppan", "### Companies", "### Organisations", "F2 Association", "Formula Two Association", "Hong Kong AA", "Macau government", "## Newsletter", "Be kept up to date on the latest news and action from the world of Motor Sport.", "You can also gain access to exclusive web content on the Motor Sport website.", "Register Now", "## Subscribe to Motor Sport", "Please select one of the following subscription offerings to gain uninterrupted access to over 92 years of Motor Sport archive.", "New to Motor Sport magazine?", "Click here to subscribe", "Already a print or digital only subscriber?", "Click here to upgrade", "Noticed a mistake on this page?", "Tell Us About It"], "meta": {"id": "dev03904-0", "claim_title": "2001 Macau Grand Prix", "claim_section": "Background and entry list.", "claim_context": "The Macau Grand Prix was started in 1954 by local car enthusiasts Fernando de Macedo Pinto, Carlos da Silva and Paulo Antas as a treasure hunt around the enclave's streets.

well as being the \"quiet Beatle\", he was the rock guitarist who introduced the sitar to British pop music, a stalwart devotee of transcendental meditation, a film producer and an underrated songwriter - his composition Something was recorded by dozens of singers and was the only Beatles song featured in concert by Frank Sinatra.", "He was born in Wavertree, Liverpool in 1942, eight months after Paul McCartney and two years after John Lennon.", "He experienced his \"rock 'n roll epiphany\", he later recalled, \"when I was about 12 or 13 riding my bike and I heard Heartbreak Hotel

McCartney, who lived nearby, on the bus to school and the pair became close friends.", "When Paul linked up with John in the Quarrymen skiffle group, he tried to persuade the group to invite George to join.", "Lennon resisted, unwilling to have a 14- year-old kid in his band.", "He relented after hearing George's acoustic guitar rendition of the rock hit Raunchy.", "He realised that having a guitar soloist would allow the group to incorporate rock 'n roll material by Elvis Presley, Buddy Holly and Little Richard into its repertoire.", "The disapproval with which Lennon's Auntie Mimi greeted George's teddy boy style and thick Scouse accent may also have helped change John's mind.", "Harrison's absorption in music took its toll on his school career, and he left the Liverpool Institute in 1959 with only one exam pass, in art.", "However, the following year his musical career began in earnest when the re-named Beatles were booked to play for four months in a club in Hamburg's Reeperbahn.", "Although the trip was cut short when the 17-year-old Harrison was discovered to be under age, the quintet (including drummer Pete Best and guitarist Stuart Sutcliffe) had gelled into an arresting and idiosyncratic unit.", "By 1962, the Beatles had signed their recording contract with EMI.", "When their urbane producer, George Martin, politely asked them whether there was \"anything you're not happy with?\", Harrison quipped: \"Yes, I don't like your tie\".", "The next eight years saw the Beatles become the most famous entertainers in the world and then implode.", "George had his share of the adulation - on his 21st birthday he received 15,000 cards and a full-sized door plus key - but within the group he was relatively isolated, as John and Paul were locked into their volatile songwriting partnership.", "Nevertheless, his contribution was considerable.", "He designed guitar breaks and riffs to suit the range of song genres used by Lennon and McCartney, although he had less opportunity than he would have liked to cut loose in the rockabilly style of his great hero Carl Perkins.", "He also got to sing at least one number on each album, beginning with Do You Want To Know A Secret? on the debut album.", "Eventually, too, the Beatles agreed to record his compositions, of which Within You Without You (from Sgt Pepper) While My Guitar Gently Weeps (from the White Album) and Here Comes The Sun and Something (from Abbey Road) were among the most memorable.", "But probably his most important influence on the group concerned the new sound textures he introduced.", "Chief among these was the sitar that he first heard in a scene from the film Help!", "George was intrigued and he contrived a meeting with the sitar virtuoso Ravi Shankar at the home of the leader of the Asian Music Circle in London.", "He briefly studied with Shankar, not, as he explained, to be able to become a classical raga player, but to be able to use the sitar in Beatle music.", "It was

Hard Day's Night) travelled to the Maharishi's ashram in India.", "When the event disintegrated after allegations that the guru had molested a female adept, Harrison alone of the group remained faithful to the precepts of the Vedic tradition.", "He later showed his commitment in more practical ways by producing a hit record by the London-based Hari Krishna Temple group, by donating a Hertfordshire mansion for use as a centre of Hinduism and by playing concerts in support of the Natural Law party.", "He did, however, turn down the Maharishi's request that he, Paul and Ringo stand as candidates in Liverpool in the 1992 general election.", "By 1968, The Beatles were on a downward path as John and Paul drifted apart and both antagonised George, who walked off the set of the film Let It Be after an argument with Paul.", "In these circumstances, it was perhaps not surprising that Harrison was the first of the group to record and succeed as a solo artist.", "He made two instrumental albums - Wonderwall Music and Electronic Sound - before co-producing the three-LP set All Things Must Pass with Phil Spector and a range of distinguished instrumentalists.", "With 3m copies sold worldwide, it was his most commercially successful record, although a successful plagiarism suit over the song My Sweet Lord eventually cost him almost $600,000 (\u00a3421,000) in a US court case.", "The devastation caused by floods in Bangladesh in 1971 inspired Harrison to organise a major benefit concert in New York that was recorded and released as a live album the following year.", "He continued to write and record at a fast pace for the next few years, releasing the hit Give Me Love (Give Me Peace On Earth) in 1973 and the albums Living In The Material World and Extra Texture.", "By the late 1970s, however, his spiritual soft rock was out of fashion and for much of the next decade Harrison concentrated on a new career as a film producer through Handmade Films, the company he formed with Dennis O'Brien in 1979.", "Their first success was the Monty Python's feature The Life Of Brian, which they took on after EMI's Lord Delfont decided it would incur charges of blasphemy.", "During the 1980s Handmade was responsible for such critically-acclaimed movies as The Long Good Friday, Time Bandits, A Private Function, Mona Lisa and Withnail and I.", "The failure of the Madonna-Sean Penn vehicle Shanghai Surprise in 1986 heralded a downturn in the company's fortunes and it was eventually wound up in acrimony with Harrison winning a $11 million lawsuit against his former partner.", "John Lennon's tragic death in 1980 spurred George to compose the tribute song All Those Years Ago which he recorded with Paul and Ringo, but his own recording career was not rekindled until 1987 when he and Jeff Lynne of the Electric Light Orchestra co-produced the album Cloud Nine which included two hit singles, Got My Mind Set On You (a number one in America) and When We Was Fab.", "With Lynne he next formed the Travelling Wilburys, a kind of anti-supergroup with Bob Dylan (a former songwriting partner of Harrison's), Roy Orbison and Tom Petty.", "Despite Orbison's death in 1988, the group recorded two highly successful albums that in 1992 encouraged Harrison to undertake his first international tour for 18 years.", "Among the supporting musicians was Eric Clapton, whose professional and personal life had been entwined with Harrison's since the 1960s.", "After George and Patti Boyd had separated in 1974 she married Clapton, whose agonised love for her had inspired his famous song Layla.", "In his 1979 autobiography I Me Mine, Harrison had written \"I don't go out to clubs and parties.", "I stay at home and watch the river flow\".", "In the 80s and early 90s he appeared in public infrequently, usually on Beatle-related occasions such as the court case in which the surviving Beatles prevented the release of a sub-standard live recording from Hamburg and at Linda McCartney's funeral.", "During the remainder of the 90s, Harrison lived quietly in his lovingly restored 19th century mansion in Friars Park, Henley-on-Thames, with his second

separate women have walked that runway,\" Razek says.", "\"There are seven billion people on the planet.", "That makes each of them not one in a million, not one in five million, not one in ten million.", "That literally makes them one in 50 million humans.\"", "#### Gallery: Highest Paid Models", "20 images", "View gallery", "And that's all the women who have participated in the show over the last 15 years.", "The elite list of models Forbes has compiled is even more rarefied company -- and they're paid handsomely for their talents.", "Over the last 12 months, the combined earnings of the top ten highest-paid models, from Gisele B\u00fcndchen to Candice Swanepoel, totals just under $100 million.", "See the full gallery of the top ten highest-paid models here.", "Just like last year, the Brazilian bombshell B\u00fcndchen leads the pack with a stunning $45 million in earnings (all estimates from May 1st, 2011 to May 1st, 2012).", "Even in her early thirties, B\u00fcndchen remains an unparalleled force within the fashion world.", "As the world's most powerful supermodel, she racks up modeling gigs, spokesperson deals, and independent licensing ventures at every turn.", "The veritable endorsement queen shills for brands such as Pantene, Esprit, and Versace, and makes a percentage of profits on Ipanema flip-flops and other products bearing her name.", "While in the United States many know her as the wife of New England Patriots quarterback Tom Brady, B\u00fcndchen's effect as a spokesperson, especially in her native Brazil, can make a huge difference.", "B\u00fcndchen's success combining business with modeling is influencing young, ascendant models.", "\"The ones that are coming up, their model for excellence is Gisele.", "They're looking at her and saying 'that's what I want to shoot for,'\" Razek said.", "Coming up a distant second in the rankings is British supermodel Kate Moss, with earnings of $9.2 million.", "Moss is known for her party-hard ways, but she remains one of fashion's biggest icons, with big endorsement deals with Longchamp, Mango, Rimmel, and Vogue Eyewear.", "She also has a lucrative design deal with TopShop going back to 2007.", "Natalia Vodianova, a Russian model whose name may be less familiar, was third with $8.6 million.", "Fragrance campaigns with Guerlain and Calvin Klein Euphoria have boosted Vodianova's earnings into the highest echelons of modeling.", "The 30-year-old, who now lives in the UK, also designs lingerie collections for Etam and shoes for Centro.", "\"There was a time where the odd beauty was in style, and that created a backlash for a time when advertisers couldn't use those girls,\" said David Bonnouvrier, chairman of DNA Models, which represents Vodianova, along with fellow top models Doutzen Kroes (#5) and Alessandra Ambrosio (#6).", "\"The top girls now represent a return to a true representation of beauty, not the odd beauty or a fashion-diverted version of beauty.\"", "Adriana Lima, who's primarily known as a Victoria's Secret Angel, registered $7.3 million in an exciting year.", "In addition to announcing that she's expecting her second child, Lima made a big splash in early 2012 when she appeared in two attention-grabbing Super Bowl commercials, one for Kia and another, more seductive spot for Teleflora.", "Crossing over from the fashion world to a more mainstream audience, she now has more Facebook followers than any other model, and grabbed the final spot on Forbes' Celebrity 100 list.", "\"Adriana's a very modern, diverse beauty,\" said her agent, Chris Gay, president of Marilyn New York.", "\"She's an ethnic mix of a girl, where quite frankly because she has such a multi-racial, multi-cultural background, everybody is accepting of her.", "That has always been her huge benefit.\"", "If you've followed our annual ranking in past years, you might wonder what happened to German supermodel Heidi Klum.", "Last year she ranked number two overall, after B\u00fcndchen, and her $20 million in earnings this year would have placed her comfortably into the same spot this time.", "However, Forbes determined that, like Tyra Banks before her, Klum has graduated from model to mogul.", "Since ending her 13-year run as a Victoria's Secret Angel in 2010, Klum has become more of a businesswoman and multi-media personality.", "Klum still endorses products, like Coca-Cola in Germany, but a large portion of her earnings comes from hosting popular television shows like Project Runway and Germany's Next Top Model.", "She's also partnered with companies to start her own business ventures.", "Klum has worked with New Balance and Amazon to create her own clothing brand and launched a jewelry line on QVC in September 2011.", "She even has her own micro-site within AOL for advice on everything from fashion to parenting.", "Looking ahead, it's tough to see anyone who might be able to dethrone B\u00fcndchen in the near future, given her sizable earnings lead.", "But there are young models coming up who may eventually challenge for the top spots.", "Candice Swanepoel, while only ranked 10th, is the youngest supermodel on the list.", "The 23-year-old South African has become a staple in Victoria's Secret advertising.", "Same with Erin Heatherton, another 23-year-old who just missed the list.", "Or perhaps it will be someone like Kate Upton, the 2012 Sports Illustrated Swimsuit cover model.", "Until now, Upton has found more mainstream fame, especially online, than traditional modeling opportunities.", "But the 20-year-old has plenty of time to capitalize in that direction.", "See the full gallery of the top ten highest-paid models here.", "Brian Solomon", "Brian Solomon was a Forbes staff writer from 2011 to 2017.", "He

and other animated dots accompanied by affective music, again from Corelli.", "Despite the abstraction, the film seems to have a definite plot that hinges on the ability of the dot to find his way.", "Dudok de Wit's films attest to the profoundly emotive power of animation, as well as the continued value of the short as an artistic endeavor in itself, rather than a somehow lesser substitute for feature-length film.", "Can you begin by telling us about how you got into animation?", "It's quite easy, actually: I drew a lot as a kid, like most of my colleagues.", "So going to art college was an obvious choice, and then once I was at art college I realized how much I liked narrative art like film and comic strips, and combining art with sound and music.", "Then I specialized: I came to

language which is usually understood on a subconscious level by the audience.", "You can combine so many elements in such a rich way, not unlike cooking: it's not only the individual elements that count, but also the chemistry between them.", "I like how the end result can be very individualistic.", "With animation, because you work on every frame, literally every frame, you do it all

like that.", "In addition, the chase of the monk and the fish was fun to animate.", "Part of the joy was creating the agitated movements and different variations.", "That sounds similar to what the Italian neorealist Rossellini said about his Germany Year Zero, that he created the whole film because he just wanted to shoot the scene at the end with the boy wandering abstractly through the rubble of Berlin.", "Ah, yes.", "Do you know Antonioni's The Passenger?", "It's one of my favorite films, and I think sometimes that he did the same.", "The music for The Monk and the Fish is perfect for the story.", "You adapted it from the Corelli, is that correct?", "Yes, it's a well-known musical theme, La Folia, adapted by Corelli, Vivaldi, Bach and other composers.", "I'd heard it on the radio many years before and I knew then that it would be perfect for an animated film because it has a whole range of emotions.", "It's basically one tune repeated over and over again, so you can mold it perfectly to what you want.", "So when I wrote The Monk and the Fish, I knew already that I wanted that music.", "I gave the composer a selection of recordings that I liked, mostly Corelli's and Vivaldi's variations.", "I said, \"These are the variations I like, this is the structure of the story, please make your version of it.\"", "Would you say there's a kind of moral at the end, about coming to terms with our environment and our obsessions?", "Yes, though I'm not certain about the word \"moral\".", "I'm not sure why you can't use that word.", "It's something finer than moral.", "Have you heard of the Ten Oxherding Pictures?", "It's a comic strip from China, very ancient, many centuries old, so not technically a comic strip.", "The pictures are well known, and there are many variations.", "It's basically Zen Buddhist or Taoist teaching condensed in a sequence of images.", "The story is about a man trying to catch a lost ox.", "He finds the ox, catches it, and you would think that this is the end of the story, but you're only halfway.", "The images that follow represent the essence of the Zen philosophy.", "It's very, very beautiful.", "That was the inspiration for the film, though the film doesn't go as far as these pictures because they are so profound that I can't reproduce the same sequence with my own authority.", "The Monk and the Fish is not a story about the solution of a conflict, it's more about the rise above the conflict, the rise above duality.", "So there isn't really a moral, it's more like another point of view.", "Much of your work uses a Chinese or Japanese style of brushwork.", "Did you grow up with such influences, or did you just come upon the style?", "I discovered the traditional Japanese brush art and calligraphy in my early twenties.", "The styles are so strong and so exquisite, it's easy to feel attracted to it.", "The Japanese in particular, and also the Chinese and the Koreans, have a way of using negative space, of not filling the picture, which is very typical of the Far East and very untypical of the West.", "We can be inspired by it, but it's profoundly in their culture\u2014in their genes maybe, and not so much in ours.", "It's not just about the brush line, it's also the space around the line that is inspiring.", "Some parts of The Monk and the Fish reminded me of Tove Jansson, who illustrated the Moomin books.", "Like hers, your drawings manage to be very expressive while using very few lines.", "That's a huge compliment\u2014I think the Moomin books are brilliant, just brilliant.", "You used tea to draw The Aroma of Tea.", "Did that start out as an experiment?", "Well, it's brush and ink, and originally it was going to be black ink.", "But the idea came out of the blue.", "I thought it would be nice to have a rich brown, and something with tea, which goes with the subject.", "There's something nice about using a technique which has not been used in animation yet.", "Again, though I also don't like the word moral, The Aroma of Tea does seem to be metaphorical for life in a way.", "We end up rooting for this little dot even though he looks like all the others.", "Yes, that would be correct.", "With Father and Daughter, I found that the spare quality of the imagery, perhaps this idea of \"negative space\", allowed room for the viewer to enter the story and assert his own history on the film by crawling into its spaces.", "You can find many highly personal interpretations online.", "What do you think of people projecting their narratives on the film?", "That's on purpose, and it's very tricky, because I want to be very clear and transparent and explicit.", "On the other hand, I want the individual who sees the film to relate it to his or her own experience and understanding.", "So for instance, a particular event in the story may be recognized by one individual as physical death, whereas another individual may not relate it to death at all.", "Both are right.", "It all depends on each person's own perception of death.", "You give people the opportunity to make their own interpretation, but it's dangerous, because it can also become a lazy way of storytelling.", "Almost like, \"I do what I like, and you figure it out yourself.", "I don't care.\"", "The wheels reminded me of clocks.", "It's a film about biking, in a way, and the wheels turn as the girl's clock runs out of time.", "That's interesting.", "I've used the bicycle wheel to reflect the circular quality of time, as in the changing of seasons, the changing of generations, and the music too has a circular quality\u2014it's a waltz.", "But I hadn't thought of actual clocks.", "It's true that traditional clocks indicate time in a circular way.", "Do you know anyone else who uses similar methods or is interested in similar things to you, such as experimenting with different media?", "Yes, many.", "The tragedy is that there are lots, and you wouldn't know unless you look for them.", "So you see them at animation festivals.", "And these days there are hundreds of animation festivals\u2014when I started there were just a handful.", "Or you can see them on the very rare programs dedicated to putting shorts together.", "Channel 4 was good at that.", "What do you think is the future of shorts?", "A good question, because I would never have guessed that something like YouTube would become so popular.", "In that sense, it's a massive opening for shorts.", "The other day, I looked there for a film from a colleague.", "It's a good film.", "In the old days, it would have been screened at festivals and have been seen by thousands of people.", "He puts it on YouTube, it got a lot of positive reactions, and now it's been seen by six million.", "This is a totally new direction.", "So to give you a short answer, yes, I think there is a future for shorts.", "But there are still a lot of people who see them as little exercises that you do before doing serious work like making feature films.", "And I don't see it like that at all.", "Shorts are more like poems, whereas features are more like novels.", "There's recently been a lot of talk about the revitalization of the short story.", "Many new collections are coming out.", "Yes, I think that's a good analogy.", "I'm not saying they inspire each other (I have seen a few animated shorts based on short stories, but not many), but there is a similarity there.", "Again, with short stories, people often consider them as exercises for the real stuff, which is a pity.", "The good thing about short films is that they are very individualistic, or can be, whereas feature films are diluted, purely because of the size of the team.", "A short animated film can be made almost alone, and even if there are ten people helping you, it can be very personal.", "You don't have to explain everything, you just do it because you feel right about it.", "And the British are generally good at appreciating individualism.", "Where would one go to see more animation?", "London has an animation festival in the summer.", "There's not one major festival in Britain, but three or four.", "Festivals are really the only way.", "I hesitate to say YouTube because some things suffer from the YouTube quality; they really do.", "Especially when the synchronization is a few frames out, and it completely destroys the sharp effect.", "So I hesitate to suggest it.", "Some films are fine on YouTube.", "I don't mean this disrespectfully, but animation like The Simpsons is fine on a small screen.", "I almost cry when I see Father and Daughter on YouTube!", "(Laughs).", "But then you have people in remote villages who see your films, people who may not have another opportunity to see independent short films.", "I would rather many people see them in poor quality than a few in high quality.", "Have you seen any Pixar features lately?", "Sometimes they show shorts before the feature.", "Yes, I saw Wall-E of course, though I can't remember the last short I saw.", "They are good.", "It's partly to do with the attitude.", "Pixar is a studio that feels that making shorts, giving directors the time to make a short, stimulates the creativity and the general ambiance.", "How many projects do you work on at any given time, and how long do your projects take to complete?", "It varies a lot.", "When I do a commercial, I often have to start immediately.", "I'll get a call asking me, \"Are you interested in this, we need to know now.\"", "And then often you start straight away, though sometimes you have to wait.", "Commercials can take two-four months, roughly.", "With short films, it's very different.", "Something might be in your head long before you actually put anything on paper.", "Once you start, once you've written a synopsis, figured out how to approach it, and then secured funding for it\u2026", "Altogether, my eight-minute film, Father and Daughter, took two years to make.", "Actually it was much longer, but I interrupted the work to teach.", "My six-minute film, The Monk and the Fish, took seven months to make.", "So you see there's no standard time frame.", "You mentioned the task of getting funding.", "What is the funding situation like for short films?", "Is there a lot available?", "It's very, very hard, because there is a supply, but there are many colleagues who apply for the same sources.", "Many short films you see in festivals, for instance, are student films.", "Students get the time and facilities they need to make their films.", "So students have an advantage?", "Yes.", "What do you think about technological developments in the media, such as the growth of CGI and digital media?", "How have such changes affected animation?", "Computer animation is clearly dominating the market, in shorts and in features.", "There was a time when people thought it would completely take over and that would be it.", "I never thought that would happen.", "I think hand-drawn animation will live side-by-side with CGI, and there are also lots of exciting hybrid versions.", "Basically, the digital developments have hugely increased the

de Wit was born in 1953 in the Netherlands and now lives in London.", "He studied film and animation at the West Surrey College of Art and Design, and his work combines hand-drawn animation and watercolor, a sense of space and brushwork from China and Japan, and a unique use of film language.", "Dudok de Wit's shorts are known for their ability to convey the maximum amount of emotion, meaning, and humor in just a few animated brushstrokes.", "Even though his work loses much of its impact by being posted on sites such as YouTube, the Internet has ensured that his films can reach a wider audience than just those who go to animation or short film festivals.", "Dudok de Wit's animated short films appear around the world in festivals and have won numerous prizes.", "His best-known short is the moving eight-minute Father and Daughter (2000), which won a BAFTA, the 2001 Academy Award for Best Animated Short, and many other awards at festivals.", "The animation shows a girl whose father has left her, for unknown reasons, and at the end of her life they are reunited.", "The film tends to inspire intensely personal comments on websites where it is posted, both because of the poignant ending and the ambiguity surrounding the departure of the father, which allows the viewer to relate the film to his or her own story.", "The Monk and the Fish (1994), nominated for an Oscar and a BAFTA, is a light-hearted story of a monk obsessed with catching a fish at his monastery.", "More economical in its delivery than Father and Daughter, the film expresses joy and humor not just in the plot but also in the image itself, aided by a tune from the Baroque composer Corelli.", "The film ends with the monk and the fish coming together.", "Dudok de Wit often experiments with unusual media and abstract settings, such as in The Aroma of Tea (2006), which was drawn with tea and depicts a small brown dot moving among lines, spirals, organic shapes, and other animated dots accompanied by affective music, again from Corelli.", "Despite the abstraction, the film seems to have a definite plot that hinges on the ability of the dot to find his way.", "Dudok de Wit's films attest to the profoundly emotive power of animation, as well as the continued value of the short as an artistic endeavor in itself, rather than a somehow lesser substitute for feature-length film.", "Can you begin by telling us about how you got into animation?", "It's quite easy, actually: I drew a lot as a kid, like most of my colleagues.", "So going to art college was an obvious choice, and then once I was at art college I realized how much I liked narrative art like film and comic strips, and combining art with sound and music.", "Then I specialized: I came to England to study animation.", "What really attracts me to animation is the use of film language.", "Not just timing and zooming in and panning, but also the more subtle use of film language, a language which is usually understood on a subconscious level by the audience.", "You can combine so many elements in such a rich way, not unlike cooking: it's not only the individual elements that count, but also the chemistry between them.", "I like how the end result can be very individualistic.", "With animation, because you work on every frame, literally every frame, you do it all consciously.", "You can really play with the subtleties of camera movement, timing, and so on.", "It's slow and laborious, but I think it's a beautiful language.", "Let's talk a bit about some of your films.", "What I find most interesting about The Monk and the Fish is how its comedic value is somehow inherent in the image.", "The disruption to the monk's life contrasts so comically with the soothing watercolors and beautiful music.", "How did you come up with the story?", "The genesis of the film was the ending.", "It was that sequence I wanted to create, where there is a serene union between the monk and the fish.", "The ending by itself would be flat, too abstract, to pull the audience in, so I clearly needed to have a build-up, to establish and feel empathy with the character.", "In contrast to the ending, in the beginning the monk is obsessed, obsessed, obsessed, but in the ending he arrives at a resolution.", "In a quiet way, not with a big act.", "I think it worked well like that.", "In addition, the chase of the monk and the fish was fun to animate.", "Part of the joy was creating the agitated movements and different variations.", "That sounds similar to what the Italian neorealist Rossellini said about his Germany Year Zero, that he created the whole film because he just wanted to shoot the scene at the end with the boy wandering abstractly through the rubble of Berlin.", "Ah, yes.", "Do you know Antonioni's The Passenger?", "It's one of my favorite films, and I think sometimes that he did the same.", "The music for The Monk and the Fish is perfect for the story.", "You adapted it from the Corelli, is that correct?", "Yes, it's a well-known musical theme, La Folia, adapted by Corelli, Vivaldi, Bach and other composers.", "I'd heard it on the radio many years before and I knew then that it would be perfect for an animated film because it has a whole range of emotions.", "It's basically one tune repeated over and over again, so you can mold it perfectly to what you want.", "So when I wrote The Monk and the Fish, I knew already that I wanted that music.", "I gave the composer a selection of recordings that I liked, mostly Corelli's and Vivaldi's variations.", "I said, \"These are the variations I like, this is the structure of the story, please make your version of it.\"", "Would you say there's a kind of moral at the end, about coming to terms with our environment and our obsessions?", "Yes, though I'm not certain about the word \"moral\".", "I'm not sure why you can't use that word.", "It's something finer than moral.", "Have you heard of the Ten Oxherding Pictures?", "It's a comic strip from China, very ancient, many centuries old, so not technically a comic strip.", "The pictures are well known, and there are many variations.", "It's basically Zen Buddhist or Taoist teaching condensed in a sequence of images.", "The story is about a man trying to catch a lost ox.", "He finds the ox, catches it, and you would think that this is the end of the story, but you're only halfway.", "The images that follow represent the essence of the Zen philosophy.", "It's very, very beautiful.", "That was the inspiration for the film, though the film doesn't go as far as these pictures because they are so profound that I can't reproduce the same sequence with my own authority.", "The Monk and the Fish is not a story about the solution of a conflict, it's more about the rise above the conflict, the rise above duality.", "So there isn't really a moral, it's more like another point of view.", "Much of your work uses a Chinese or Japanese style of brushwork.", "Did you grow up with such influences, or did you just come upon the style?", "I discovered the traditional Japanese brush art and calligraphy in my early twenties.", "The styles are so strong and so exquisite, it's easy to feel attracted to it.", "The Japanese in particular, and also the Chinese and the Koreans, have a way of using negative space, of not filling the picture, which is very typical of the Far East and very untypical of the West.", "We can be inspired by it, but it's profoundly in their culture\u2014in their genes maybe, and not so much in ours.", "It's not just about the brush line, it's also the space around the line that is inspiring.", "Some parts of The Monk and the Fish reminded me of Tove Jansson, who illustrated the Moomin books.", "Like hers, your drawings manage to be very expressive while using very few lines.", "That's a huge compliment\u2014I think the Moomin books are brilliant, just brilliant.", "You used tea to draw The Aroma of Tea.", "Did that start out

Fragrances Campaign And Leading Like a Woman", "Celia Shatzman", "Opinions expressed by Forbes Contributors are their own.", "I cover fashion, beauty and grooming.", "Ralph Lauren is taking the name of their latest fragrance, WOMAN INTENSE, quite seriously.", "With Jessica Chastain as its Global Ambassador, they made a short film, Leading with Intensity, featuring an all-female cast and crew, for the brand's Lead Like a Woman initiative.", "The flick features Chastain and a group of female leaders\u2014including actor Jodi Balfour; actor and producer Alice Braga; chef Dominique Crenn; actor, director, writer and producer Zoe Lister-Jones; CEO and jewelry designer Jen Meyer; and philanthropist Kelly Sawyer; to name a few\u2014challenging what it means to be an intense woman, and the negative stereotypes that come along with that.", "The fragrance itself shows how intensity can be beautiful, and is the latest addition to the WOMAN franchise.", "Chastain tells us all about the campaign, plus why fragrance is personal to her.", "Jessica Chastain", "Lachlan Bailey", "Why did you decide to team up with Ralph Lauren Fragrances as the Global Ambassador of WOMAN?", "First of all, Ralph Lauren is a fashion brand and company that I really respect.", "I love the images of women that they put out.", "A woman in a suit is a very powerful image, and that's very exciting to me.", "In addition to that, partnering with them on this campaign and scent, WOMAN, coincides with everything I've ever said in every interview about how I feel about women in our society.", "I don't think there's anything that could have coincided better.", "What do you like about WOMAN INTENSE?", "I like the complexity and duality of it, the soft floral notes and the woody undertones.", "I think that's exactly what I like about the Ralph Lauren suit\u2014it's masculine, it's feminine, or I guess old fashioned ideas of what masculine and feminine are.", "To me, it's a scent that also could be unisex.", "It's really complex and interesting.", "How was working exclusively with an all-female cast and crew on the short film Leading with Intensity different without any men on set?", "I just felt relaxed and comfortable.", "I wasn't in a situation where I was hit over the head with the fact that it was an all-female cast and crew.", "It just felt easy and I think that's what all sets should feel like, no matter who is on set.", "There was a sense of camaraderie and everyone was there to create something special and we just got to work, down to business.", "What does \"lead like a woman\" mean to you personally?", "'Lead like a woman' to me is similar to 'fight like a girl.'", "'Fight' and 'lead' are verbs that in the past have been exclusively connected to men in our society in terms of our media, in terms of the way we talk about gender.", "And what it does is it actually empowers the word for women, and for women to acknowledge that it is their given right to lead.", "They don't have to adhere to an old stereotype of what a woman is supposed to be, because that is actually a very unhealthy society that keeps women out of leadership positions and it empowers female leadership.", "I think when we look at the statistics, empathy is one of the highest traits of a great leader and women have that in spades, so I think it's a very empowering call to action, lead like a woman.", "Which negative stereotype of being an \"intense\" woman would you most like to dispel of?", "It's an interesting thing when we talked about this, because before we had this discussion on set, I said for me 'intense' is something that relates to women and men, it's an adjective\u2014I am intensely loving, I am intensely ambitious.", "It just means to me going fully into your life, to live with intensity, to not back down, to go head first into whatever you're feeling or doing or participating in.", "It's to live life fully.", "There has been a lot of progress in the film industry, but as a staunch defender of gender equality, what other changes would you still like to see the most?", "The more we see women in power positions, the more changes will filter down the line.", "I think that's what we really, really need to tackle, which is why I'm so excited about Ralph Lauren doing that with this campaign, the Lead Like A Woman initiative.", "We need more female studio heads, we need more decision makers, we need more female directors because we know that in most cases, a woman in a leadership position hires other women in leadership positions.", "That is something I really, really want to tackle as we move into the future, not just in mine, but in all industries.", "Where are the women in power positions?", "Through your work with Ralph Lauren Fragrances, have you worked with the nonprofit Women In Film?", "I've always been associated with Women in Film from the beginning of when it first started, which is actually not that long ago.", "The most amazing thing is when I first signed on to this, I remember having a meeting with people involved in this whole campaign and they were talking to me about my industry and where they could put some resources and I brought up some very important organizations and Women In Film was one of them that helped to create equity in my industry.", "Ralph Lauren Woman Intense, RalphLauren.com", "Courtesy of Ralph Lauren Fragrances", "You're known for choosing roles with a feminist bent.", "How do you choose which roles to take on?", "I think it happens really naturally.", "Elizabeth Sloane in Miss Sloane, she would never define herself as a feminist, even though I do personally.", "I look for female characters that are pushing against an expectation of what society has planned for them because it's really

user data, according to Kojocaru.", "Viber and WhatsApp offered slightly different products at the time both were acquired.", "Viber was focused on VoIP calles, while WhatsApp on text mesages.", "But over time the distance between them narrowed.", "Both of them are leading players worldwide in IM.", "A billion people use their services daily, sending private, group and voice messages.",

illustrations, which users can download and add to messages.", "The company's business model is based on, among other things, some of the packages being downloadable for pay and partnering with

express,\" explains Kojocaru about the feature's popularity.", "The next challenge", "Viber's main competitor was not always WhatsApp or Facebook.", "At first, six years ago, the company's main product was internet voice calls, in competition with Skype, which Microsoft bought in 2011 for $8.5 billion.", "\"Viber spread in Israel because telephone call charges then weren't unlimited, and

parent company, iMesh, and was crowned a success, according to Shmilov.", "Not much later, the Android app was launched, adding the IM option, which is now the main feature.", "IM apps are a classic

happening with WhatsApp in Israel, happening in other countries with an Israeli product,\" says Shmilov about Viber aboad.", "Since the sale, the mix of Viber users has changed, with its main users in Eastern Europe and Russia, including Balkan countries like Greece and Bulgaria.", "Viber forecasts growth in Africa, according to Shmilov.", "\"Even in Israel, which is a 'WhatsApp country,' we have hundreds of thousands of users,\" he says.", "\"Dominance is important in the field of messages because you don't use it alone.", "The idea is the amount of friends you have on an app, so the more dominant you are, the more significant a player you are.\"", "Each company in Viber's field prefers different statistics.", "Viber prefers the number of countries in which it is the most popular app, which is 10, according to a recent report by Israel's Similar Web, which looked at user data of Android devices in 187 countries.", "This data doesn't include iPhones, which impacts mainly developed nations.", "Viber is particularly popular in Eastern Europe, according to the data, being the main app in Belarus, Moldova and Ukraine, where 65% of all Android users have downloaded the app, with the

SimilarWeb, dominating Brazil, Mexico, India and Russia.", "Facebook's Messenger leads in 49 countries, among them Australia, Canada and the United States.", "Viber cannot characterize its typical user.", "According to Shmilov, in places where market penetration is low, users are mainly business people or tourists.", "\"In Israel, for example, a typical user is in touch with users in a country

expanded.", "The Ministry of Transport business case examined the cost of upgrading the rail line between Auckland and Whang\u0101rei, reopening the mothballed tracks north to Moerewa and west to Dargaville, and constructing a new spur east to Northport.", "It estimates the total cost at $1.3b over 40 years.", "Including $730m in the first four years during the construction phase and $3m for improvements and maintenance in the years after.", "However, the economics tread a fine line.", "In the best-case scenario, the report gives the investment a benefit-cost-ratio (BCR) of 1.19, meaning for every $1 spent there would be a $1.19 return.", "This would require a major expansion of Northport which would see it handling 400,000 containers, 100,000 from within Northland and 300,000 from Auckland.", "In the year to June 2019 Northport expects to handle 12,500 containers, up from 8000 last year.", "Without this expansion of Northport, the BCR falls to 0.32, meaning the Government would only get back 32 cents for every $1 spent.", "The majority of the economic benefits come from easing congestion on Northland and Auckland's roads, by reducing truck trips by 75,000 per year.", "A 2017 report found congestion costs Auckland between $900m and $1.9 billion a year.", "Just 1.4 percent of freight in Northland is currently moved by train due to the lack of rail to Northport and the tunnels and bridges, some of which can't fit modern containers or support heavier loads.", "If the investment was to go ahead, the amount of freight being transported by rail in Northland is expected to grow to 10 to 14 percent, around 2 million tonnes, which is above the national average of 7 percent of freight transported by rail.", "Other benefits include saving $20 million in road crashes involving trucks, saving $3.8 million in annual road maintenance and reducing carbon emissions by 10 thousand tonnes.", "The business case suggests that if Whang\u0101rei's growth figures were similar to that of Waikato or Tauranga, which have both benefited from strong road and rail connections, then it could see a further 2,000 to 10,000 jobs over a 12-year-period.", "However it does not include job creation in its BCRs, nor the impact such an investment would have on spurring business investment decisions in Northland.", "Associate Transport Minister Shane Jones says it's important to keep this in mind.", "\"The reality is that if you're in the business of nation building, you cannot capture every perceived benefit over 50 to 100 years through one consultant's report.\"", "The business case also doesn't look at the costs to Auckland, in terms of jobs or added transportation costs, that would occur if the Ports of Auckland's operations were moved to Northport.", "Infrastructure NZ chief executive Stephen Selwood, speaking before seeing the report, told Newshub Nation that New Zealand's historic reliance on BCRs has led to the country's current infrastructure deficit.", "\"Traditional benefit-cost-analysis measures direct benefits but not the wider social and economic benefits from investing in infrastructure, such as stimulating business growth or jobs or improving social connectivity.", "\"If Richard Seddon [NZ Prime Minister from 1893-1906] had been given a BCR for building New Zealand's entire rail network it probably would have been around a 0.3.", "\"In the 1990s, the Government often wouldn't invest in infrastructure projects unless they had a BCR of 3 or 4.", "This meant that regional roads went ahead of needed transport projects in Auckland because land prices there were too high, leading to a comparatively low BCR.", "\"BCR analysis is an important component of an investment decision but in the end one has to make a judgment as to whether overall benefits - social, environmental, and economic - provide a return to the nation as a whole.\"", "Jones says his next steps are to consult with iwi and officials, secure the land along the rail corridor to Northport, and seek further information on potential freight demand.", "The business case will also factor into the research of the Upper North Island Supply Chain Working Group, which is due to release its recommendations in September.", "With Budget day around the corner, Jones also gave a hint of the Coalition Government's intentions.", "\"Rail obviously is going to enjoy great

for the expedition's widows and orphans.", "This fine international institution houses the greatest polar library in the world.", "And Scott left the nation another scientific legacy: Peter, the two-year-old son he hoped would be interested in natural history rather than games.", "Although not disinterested in the latter \u2013 he won a bronze medal in sailing at the 1936 Olympics \u2013 he

the world through science were parallel paths to that goal: Scott heroically travelled them both.", "His ship, the Terra Nova, set sail from Cardiff on June 15, 1910 and finally reached Antarctica at

Scott by post and was rejected, so he walked from Cambridge to London to apply in person.", "Wright later observed: \"If Scott hadn't been a naval man, he would have been a scientist; he had the mind of a scientist.\"", "The scientific staff were recruited by Scott and his friend and colleague Edward Wilson (\"Uncle Bill\"), and many went on to great eminence.", "Wilson himself was a doctor, who had been junior surgeon on Scott's 1901 Antarctic expedition on HMS Discovery.", "He was a deeply religious Christian who revered nature as the glory of God.", "An expert ornithologist and a phenomenally gifted artist, his illustrations of birds in Antarctica are among the Terra Nova expedition's great treasures.", "One of the most telling botanical items from the expedition was the fossilised Glossopteris, a fernlike plant known to grow in what was then called the Southern Continent (Australia, New Zealand, Africa, India).", "Along with the other samples of fossilised wood and leaves that were found in Scott and Wilson's tent, it proved that the climate in the Permian period, 250 million years ago, had been mild enough to support trees.", "But the discovery of the Glossopteris raised another question: had the Southern Continent and Antarctica once been one?", "In 1912, the German scientist Alfred Wegener had proposed his theory of continental drift, but few believed it.", "Only in the late Fifties was the movement of tectonic plates understood.", "For further proof of Scott and Wilson's devotion to science, consider the expedition to Cape Crozier.",

body would be found in Scott's tent \u2013 embarked, with Apsley Cherry-Garrard, on what Wilson described as \"the weirdest bird's-nesting expedition that has ever been or ever will be\".", "It was a painful, five-week odyssey, the best example of the lengths to which Scott's men would go purely in the name of science.", "Scott called it \"one of the most gallant stories in Polar history\".", "\"Why should three sane and common-sense explorers be sledging away on a winter's night to a Cape which has only been visited before in daylight, and then with very great difficulty?\" asked Cherry-Garrard in his book The Worst Journey in the World.", "Because the Emperor penguin \u2013 which was six feet tall, never stepped on land, laid its eggs on ice during the winter, rested the eggs on its feet and pressed them to its abdomen for incubation \u2013 was \"probably the most primitive bird in the world\".", "After three weeks, during which they were sometimes unable to travel more than a mile a day, and the temperature could descend to -75F, they found the birds.", "\"We were witnessing a marvel of the natural world, and we were the first and only men who had ever done so,\"

seen the Emperors before but never with their eggs; and they had never collected undamaged eggs containing embryos.", "Wilson believed they might reveal the missing evolutionary link between dinosaurs and birds \u2013 he was wrong, but the surviving eggs and embryos remain much asked-for treasures of the Natural History Museum.", "Wilson would doubtless be pleased to know that the Emperor penguins, whose bodies they left in an igloo at Cape Crozier, were important control specimens in proving, 50 years later, that DDT had tainted the Antarctic atmosphere.", "When the survivors of Scott's expedition returned to Britain, in June 1913, much emphasis was put on its scientific achievements.", "Understandably so: while Scott was worshipped as a national hero, and Captain Oates as a martyr, they had been beaten to the Pole.", "Lord Curzon, the former Viceroy of India, declared that the publication of the expedition's scientific results would be the real monument to Scott and his men.", "That, perhaps, discounts the expedition's artistic legacy \u2013 Scott's journals; Cherry-Gerrard's account of the expedition and its tragic aftermath; Wilson's near-miraculous illustrations of birds; and The Great White Silence, the touching film made by expedition member Herbert Ponting.", "But the expedition's greatest scientific legacy is more substantial \u2013 namely, the Scott Polar Research Institute in Cambridge, founded in 1920 by Frank Debenham and Raymond Priestley, distinguished scientists who were in Scott's party, and initially financed by surplus donations to the fund for the expedition's widows and orphans.", "This fine international institution houses the greatest polar library in the world.", "And Scott left the nation another scientific legacy: Peter, the two-year-old son he hoped would be interested in natural history rather than games.", "Although not disinterested in the latter \u2013 he won a bronze medal in sailing at the 1936 Olympics \u2013 he became Britain's most famous conservationist and ornithologist, an artist and a television favourite.", "Captain Scott may have failed to become the first to reach the Pole \u2013 but for his

Australia.", "Two of the party, Thomas Griffith Taylor and the meteorologist George Simpson, were already established experts.", "But many of the scientists were young and inexperienced, distinguished chiefly by their passionate commitment.", "Charles Wright, the Canadian physicist who went on to become director of scientific research at the Admiralty, was 23 in 1910.", "He sent an application to Scott by post and was rejected, so he walked from Cambridge to London to apply in person.", "Wright later observed: \"If Scott hadn't been a naval man, he would have been a scientist; he had the mind of a scientist.\"", "The scientific staff were recruited by Scott and his friend and colleague Edward Wilson (\"Uncle Bill\"), and many went on to great eminence.", "Wilson himself was a doctor, who had been junior surgeon on Scott's 1901 Antarctic expedition on HMS Discovery.", "He was a deeply religious Christian who revered nature as the glory of God.", "An expert ornithologist and a phenomenally gifted artist, his illustrations of birds in Antarctica are among the Terra Nova expedition's great treasures.", "One of the most telling botanical items from the expedition was the fossilised Glossopteris, a fernlike plant known to grow in what was then called the Southern Continent (Australia, New Zealand, Africa, India).", "Along with the other samples of fossilised wood and leaves that were found in Scott and Wilson's tent, it proved that the climate in the Permian period, 250 million years ago, had been mild enough to support trees.", "But the discovery of the Glossopteris raised another question: had the Southern Continent and Antarctica once been one?", "In 1912, the German scientist Alfred Wegener had proposed his theory of continental drift, but few believed it.", "Only in the late Fifties was the movement of tectonic plates understood.", "For further proof of Scott and Wilson's devotion to science, consider the expedition to Cape Crozier.", "Scott's 1901 expedition had found a colony of Emperor penguins there, and Wilson had a burning desire to return to learn more.", "On June 27, 1911, he and \"Birdie\" Bowers \u2013 the other man whose body would be found in Scott's tent \u2013 embarked, with Apsley Cherry-Garrard, on what Wilson described as \"the weirdest bird's-nesting expedition that has ever been or ever will be\".", "It was a painful, five-week odyssey, the best example of the lengths to which Scott's men would go purely in the name of science.", "Scott called it \"one of the most gallant stories in Polar history\".", "\"Why should three sane and common-sense explorers be sledging away on a winter's night to a Cape which has only been visited before in daylight, and then with very great difficulty?\" asked Cherry-Garrard in his book The Worst Journey in the World.", "Because the Emperor penguin \u2013 which was six feet tall, never stepped on land, laid its eggs on ice during the winter, rested the eggs on its feet and pressed them to its abdomen for incubation \u2013 was \"probably the most primitive bird in the world\".", "After three weeks, during which they were sometimes unable to travel more than a mile a day, and the temperature could descend to -75F, they found the birds.", "\"We were witnessing a marvel of the natural world, and we were the first and only men who had ever done so,\" enthused Cherry-Garrard.", "\"We had within our grasp material which might prove of the utmost importance to science; we were turning theories into facts with every observation we made.\"", "Men had seen the Emperors before but never with their eggs; and they had never collected undamaged eggs containing embryos.", "Wilson believed they might reveal the missing evolutionary link between dinosaurs and birds \u2013 he was wrong, but the surviving eggs and embryos remain much asked-for treasures of the Natural History Museum.", "Wilson would doubtless be pleased to know that the Emperor penguins, whose bodies they left in an igloo at Cape Crozier, were important control specimens in proving, 50 years later, that DDT had tainted the Antarctic atmosphere.", "When the survivors of Scott's expedition returned to Britain, in June 1913, much emphasis was put on its scientific achievements.", "Understandably so: while Scott was worshipped as a national hero, and Captain Oates as a martyr, they had been beaten to the Pole.", "Lord Curzon, the former Viceroy of India, declared that the publication of the expedition's scientific results would be the real monument to Scott and his men.", "That, perhaps, discounts the expedition's artistic legacy \u2013 Scott's journals; Cherry-Gerrard's account of the expedition and its tragic aftermath; Wilson's near-miraculous illustrations of birds; and The Great White Silence, the touching film made by expedition member Herbert Ponting.", "But the expedition's greatest scientific legacy is more substantial \u2013 namely, the Scott Polar Research Institute in Cambridge, founded in 1920 by Frank Debenham and Raymond Priestley, distinguished scientists who were in Scott's party, and initially financed by surplus donations to the fund for the expedition's widows and orphans.", "This fine international institution houses the greatest polar library in the world.", "And Scott left the nation another scientific legacy: Peter, the two-year-old son he hoped would be interested in natural history rather than games.", "Although not disinterested in the latter \u2013 he won a bronze medal in sailing at the 1936 Olympics \u2013 he

researchers found that diabetes in Latino children living in Los Angeles is linked to air quality. A study led by the University of Southern California was the first of its kind to follow the health and residential air pollution levels of the same children over a span of several years. The subjects of the study were overweight Latino children, between the ages of eight and fifteen, residing in areas with elevated particulate matter and nitrogen dioxide levels, air pollutants caused nearby power plants and high-volume vehicle traffic. The results demonstrated that the children possessed significantly increased risk factors for Type 2 diabetes by the time they turned eighteen, such as diminished efficiency in the insulin-secreting cells of the pancreas. The insulin resistance that results from such a condition is a direct cause of diabetes onset. \n Diabetes mellitus is a disease that is characterized by the body's inability to properly regulate blood glucose (or blood sugar) levels. Prolonged levels of high blood sugar may lead to severe health complications such as heart disease, nerve damage, kidney failure, blindness, or even early death.

However, his brother Luke denied any plans of taking part in a reunion. On 14 September 2010, Matt Goss stated that the band would not be reforming in the near future, saying that the moment had passed. \n On 5 October 2016, it was announced that a 30th anniversary Bros concert would take place at the O2 Arena on 19 August 2017, featuring Matt and Luke Goss. Craig Logan wished the Goss brothers success with the concerts, but confirmed he was not interested in taking part in the reunion. A UK tour was announced, with a second date at the O2 Arena and shows in Manchester, Glasgow, Birmingham and Newcastle upon Tyne, but all the dates except the two shows in London and the show in Manchester were later cancelled, with the band blaming \"unforeseen logistical circumstances\". The first concert at the O2 Arena took place 28 years to the day since the band's original farewell concert at Wembley Stadium. A documentary film of the brothers' reunion and the rehearsals and lead-up to the first concert at the O2 Arena, titled \"Bros: After the Screaming Stops\", was produced.

Lyu was the only debutant to advance; he was 6\u20133 up after the first session and went on to win the match 10\u20135. Robert Milkins defeated world number 10 Neil Robertson 10\u20135. Jack Lisowski defeated world number 12 Stuart Bingham 10\u20137, thereby securing his first world championship match win in his second attempt. The 2015 world champion Bingham stated he was going to take a leave of absence from the sport after the loss. Bingham said he wanted to \"spend some time with the family and put my cue down for a while\". Bingham had spent three months of the season serving a ban for betting infringements; he commented, \"It's not been the best of seasons in general, but on the table I've been pretty good.\" Ricky Walden defeated world number 13 Luca Brecel 10\u20136; he was comfortably five frames ahead at 8\u20133, when Brecel won the next three frames to bring the score to 8\u20136, before Walden won the last two frames of the match.

Bingham said he wanted to \"spend some time with the family and put my cue down for a while\". Bingham had spent three months of the season serving a ban for betting infringements; he commented, \"It's not been the best of seasons in general, but on the table I've been pretty good.\" Ricky Walden defeated world number 13 Luca Brecel 10\u20136; he was comfortably five frames ahead at 8\u20133, when Brecel won the next three frames to bring the score to 8\u20136, before Walden won the last two frames of the match.

The Mercury and 1962 astronauts had their own allocated parking spaces outside Building 4 at Johnson Space Center, while astronauts from later groups had to compete for the remaining spaces allotted to astronauts. While Shepard prohibited junior astronauts from receiving gifts and consulting or teaching part-time, he remained vice president and part owner of the Baytown National Bank in Houston, and devoted much of his time to it. \n Training was always ungraded; the Mercury astronauts had nothing to gain and much to lose from being objectively compared to the newer classes, as it could threaten their privileged status, managerial control, and priority for flight assignments.

music scene: if hungry musicians came in looking for free food, Smith would share what he could.", "While he'd played guitar since he was a small child, even starting a half-assed band with Bailey and another friend in high school, he says he'd always considered it more of a hobby than a calling: \"It was just something I knew how to do.\"", "It wasn't until 2010, after a couple years playing in the local psych rock band Soft Black and the well-liked jangle-pop outfit Beach Fossils, that Smith, then 26, decided to start writing his own rock songs.", "At first, Smith says his biggest goal was getting signed to Beach Fossils' record label, Captured Tracks, a tastemaking Brooklyn indie.", "After recording a couple tracks himself, Smith enlisted his old friend Bailey, now a tall and lanky

had a plan, and we were part of the plan,\" label founder Mike Sniper tells me over the phone.", "By that time, DIIV had already started gigging relentlessly all over New York, sometimes playing two shows on the same night.", "Their dark, drugged-up songs had a lot in common with the internet-generation slacker rock that had been flooding the city's underground for the past few years, an era marked by cassette-quality production, time-warped guitar tones, and hazy vocals.", "But something about DIIV's textured songcraft\u2014the tangled-up riffs, the motorik grooves, and the mind-numbing repetition\u2014made that lo-fi rock formula seem sorta new again.", "Their music felt like sped-up shoegaze for late-night weirdos, and the band performed it with a gripping, nothing-else-matters punk energy.", "\"Part of it was who we were, who we knew, and what we looked like,\" Smith remembers of their early reception, which may have been at least partly influenced by their too-cool, ragamuffin charms.", "\"But it also had to do with the songs, and how much we were willing to play.\"", "\"I feel like I owe the world a good record.", "I was blessed enough to get this far; it would be such a shame to sputter out now.\"", "For a while, it was almost like DIIV was the unofficial house band of 285 Kent, a wide-open waterfront warehouse known for its all-over-the-place lineups and unhinged parties that were, according to Smith, \"legendary to anybody who was ever there.\"", "The music video for Oshin single \"Doused,\" a song about his complicated relationship with his father\u2014It stops and starts/ A gesture here and there...you blew it/ Now you've gone too far\u2014features the bandleader full-on sprinting through the moonlit streets of Brooklyn, hurrying to join the rest of the band thrashing around on the venue's stage.", "Today, 285's unmarked door has been shut for more than a year, and its neighboring DIY havens, Glasslands and Death By Audio, are closed too.", "(The building in which all three were located is now being rented by Vice.)", "By the time Oshin came out, in June of 2012, DIIV had a booking agent and didn't really need to play as many shows around town.", "With all the hype surrounding his project, Smith says he started feeling alienated from his peers in the scene.", "\"I walked into 285 Kent the day [the record] came out, and all these people are like, 'Hey man, congrats on Pitchfork.", "Best New Music!'", "I felt like they thought I was better than them, or that they thought I had a big head.", "Like, 'Why you?'", "I never really felt like a true part of [the community] after that.\"", "Today, the version of Brooklyn that DIIV outgrew doesn't really exist anymore\u2014at least not in Williamsburg.", "A few days after our first meeting, when I ask Smith to suggest a place to grab a drink, he arbitrarily chooses a yuppie-friendly bar called Black Bear, not realizing that it was constructed on the site of Public Assembly, a venue DIIV used to play before it closed, near the end of 2013.", "He may have picked it because it was a quick walk from his and Ferreira's apartment.", "More than likely, though, he just doesn't know where to go anymore.", "The next morning, on a sterile North Williamsburg block about half a mile from the old 285 Kent, Smith answers the door in only a beach towel.", "He dashes around the two-floor apartment with the energy of a kid before a field trip, his wet hair pulled into a messy high ponytail.", "Since he and Ferreira are moving soon, the place is a total wreck: the couch is hidden beneath piles of seemingly clean clothes, and there's an empty, sad-looking fish tank that dried up after Smith left it in the care of a flaky housesitter.", "The lower level is just as cluttered, with racks upon racks of Ferreira's chic clothing, plus a bare twin mattress and a flatscreen TV that doesn't work.", "\"Sky would kill me if she knew I let you in here,\" Smith says.", "After Bailey arrives, we cross the street to the parking lot where the DIIV van has been sitting dormant since the end of last year, when the band put touring on hold to concentrate on writing and recording the new LP.", "Smith says he had to pay $1700 in overdue fees to even be able to take it out.", "It's a little after 10AM, and the three of us are making the two-hour drive to Catskill to collect the last of Smith's stuff from his house up there.", "While waiting for the van's tires to fill up with air, Smith and Bailey play tic-tac-toe on the dust-covered window.", "On the road, the pair chat about writing Is the Is Are in January and February of this year, when Smith rented a warehouse and flew the whole band to L.A. to help him expand on the demos he had written alone.", "They're candid about the difficulties of collaborating with recently departed drummer Hewitt, who Smith says is a \"hardcore fucking drug addict\" and had trouble learning the new songs.", "(Via email, Hewitt denied drug use as the reason for his departure, citing instead a lack of steady income from the band and creative frustrations.", "\"I quit because I never really liked the music that much,\" he explained.)", "On DIIV's recent European tour, Oshin session drummer Ben Newman filled in.", "It's bright out, and Bailey is driving carefully on a winding, two-lane country highway with a jagged rock face running along its right shoulder.", "\"Colby just needs to figure his shit out,\" Smith says from the passenger seat.", "\"When I had my shit, I figured it out,\" Bailey adds, hinting at his own trip to a Georgia rehab facility, in 2013, after trying to quit drinking cold turkey sent him into a life-threatening withdrawal.", "\"This road freaks me out,\" Smith says suddenly.", "\"It's, like, falling apart.\"", "\"There's a lot of people around me who were doing really badly, and there were a lot of people around me doing well.", "And I knew which one I wanted to be.\"", "If you ask, Smith will tell you about getting high.", "He'll tell you that when tripping in groups, he prefers to drop the LSD a few minutes before everyone else so that he can be \"the leader,\" and he'll tell you about a time he spent staring mindlessly at a wall for 12 hours straight after trying meth in Los Angeles.", "He'll relay nerve-racking anecdotes about shooting up cocaine and cushioning the comedown with heroin, a sensation he likens to getting struck by a freight train and crash-landing in a pillow factory.", "\"There's an expression I always think about,\" he says: \"A smart man learns from his own mistakes; a wise man learns from others' mistakes.", "I've been able to apply that to my life in a lot of ways, but when it comes to drugs, I can't be told, 'Don't do it.'", "I have to try everything for myself.", "I couldn't live my life knowing that there was this insane experience that I was missing out on.\"", "When he started DIIV, Smith says he found himself surrounded by a lot of people using drugs, including smack.", "\"It was, like, everyone,\" he says of the particular clique of New York creative types he'd fallen into.", "Soon enough, he was using too.", "By 2013, Smith's growing addiction to heroin started to become a serious problem.", "At the peak of DIIV's popularity, a strung-out Smith couldn't give fans what they wanted most: new music.", "\"When I was getting fucked up all the time, I wrote literally zero songs,\" Smith remembers.", "He tried to pull it together, but even a single day without heroin can hurl an addict into a head-spinning, stomach-turning dope sickness.", "In the summer of 2013, an entire recording session with ex-Girls bassist and producer Chet \"JR\" White was scrapped.", "\"Quitting gets put off,\" Smith says, \"because there's never a good time to feel like fucking hell.\"", "After the arrest upstate, Smith was formally charged with a criminal misdemeanor for drug possession.", "In January of 2014, he left New York for an upscale detox facility in southern Connecticut that once treated the late Philip Seymour Hoffman.", "The court-ordered detox was brutal; Smith says the highest available dose of Methadone\u2014a synthetic opiate given to help ease the pain of withdrawal\u2014paled in comparison to the amount of smack he had been injecting every day.", "\"I think the longest opiate person they ever had stayed for seven days,\" Smith says.", "\"I was there for eleven.\"", "To get through it, he re-", "read journalist Michael Azerrad's Come as You Are: The Story of Nirvana, a nonfiction book originally published a year before Kurt Cobain's death.", "\"It made me feel like I was back on the road with my band,\" Smith says.", "\"It made me feel like there was a world out there.\"", "After he was discharged, he says the possibility of losing Ferreira did more to keep him straight than any recovery program.", "\"Sky was extremely adamant that I couldn't be using drugs and be in a relationship with her at the same time,\" Smith says.", "\"Given that choice, it's pretty fucking obvious which direction to go in.\"", "Smith tells me he's clean now, or heroin-free at least (on more than one occasion, we drink together).", "It's obvious he's excited about his sprawling new double-LP, animatedly introducing each track as he plays it in the van on the way to Catskill: \"This is my favorite song!\" he says.", "\"No, this one!\"", "He only sings along once, when we listen to a moody number featuring Ferreira speak-singing some abstract poetry.", "Musically, Is the Is Are is both a continuation of Oshin's songcraft and an introduction to a sharper and more labored-over DIIV sound.", "Some new tracks sound angry\u2014like \"Dust,\" a seismic standout that has been in the band's live set for almost two years.", "And some sound pensive, such as a pretty song Smith's been calling \"Healthy Moon,\" which opens with the lazily sung lyric: How can I describe this fading dream?", "It's a simple sentiment, but one that seems to precisely explain the half-cognitive euphoria DIIV's music captures, a fearless high that's always on the verge of slipping away.", "It doesn't take long to work out that a lot of the songs are about wrestling with addiction: on one, Smith sings the Alcoholic Anonymous catchphrase, It works if you work it, and another goes, I was high but now I feel low.", "On Oshin, the vocalizations were muddled in the mix, just another gear in Smith's delirium-inducing machine.", "\"This time,\" he says, \"I really wanted people to be able to understand the words and connect with them.\"", "These songs are more observational and more confessional, influenced by his personal demons and those stalking the people closest to him.", "\"There's a lot of people around me who were doing really badly, and there were a lot of people around me doing well,\" Smith says.", "\"And I knew which one I wanted to be.\"", "\"I hate this fucking place,\" Smith says, jostling the knob on the Catskill house's gray door.", "We're standing on stepping stones in the house's overgrown garden, which you get to by crossing an actual white picket fence and walking down a lumpy green hill, one street over from the town's storybook Main Street.", "When we finally get inside, the first thing that catches my eye is an artist badge from the ill-fated 2013 Basilica festival, resting on an ugly brown rug.", "Somehow, DIIV wound up performing there the day after Smith's arrest, when Basilica founder and legendary Hole bassist Melissa Auf der Maur bailed him out of jail.", "There isn't much stuff left to pack up, though almost everything Smith uncovers seems to have some deep-seated sentimental value.", "Looking through the crates of books, he singles out an odd tome called Shaman that he and Perez found on the street in Brooklyn years ago.", "Its pages contain some of the band's more recognizable imagery, including the ancient stone carvings Smith screen-printed onto some CD-Rs he burned for early demos of \"Sometime\" and \"Corvalis.\"", "During a break from loading the van, he gets a text saying that Saint Laurent is looking for last-minute male models to walk in the upcoming show.", "Bailey strips down to his shorts and pouts against the off-white wall while Smith snaps a few iPhone pics to send to casting.", "Some of Smith's most prized possessions are also still tucked away in the house, including two guitars.", "One is an electric that his father gave to him at birth; it's dark blue and has little cowboy-themed drawings on it, supposedly made from children's pajamas found in a ghost town.", "The second is a beat-up acoustic that used to belong to Elliott Smith, the singer-songwriter who committed suicide at the age of 34.", "Ferreira got it from composer Jon Brion\u2014a friend of Elliott's who collaborated with Ferreira on her 2012 EP, Ghost\u2014and gifted it to Smith on their first Valentine's Day together.", "When he finds it, he pulls it out of the case, strums a few clumsy chords, and starts to play \"Alameda,\" a sad song that Elliott Smith released in 1997: Nobody broke your heart/ You broke your own cause you can't finish what you start, he sings.", "Nobody broke your heart.", "Elliott Smith is just one of several doomed rock stars the DIIV frontman is obsessed with.", "He's a big fan of garage punk icon Jay Reatard, who died in his sleep from a mixture of cocaine and alcohol, and he's unabashed about his love for Johnny Thunders, the legendary New York punk guitarist whose seemingly drug-related death at age 39 remains a mystery to this day.", "And, of course, there's Kurt Cobain, whose name comes up often during our time together, though Smith just calls him \"Kurt.\"", "In the car earlier, we talked about Montage of Heck, the recently released documentary that stitches together rare home-movie footage of the Nirvana frontman with rotoscope-animated reenactments of his early life.", "Smith watched it with his mother, who he says felt uncomfortable because she had trouble separating the platinum-blond boy on screen from her own son.", "In the homemade music video Smith directed for Ferreira's 2013 song \"Omanko,\" there's a shot of the couple in their bathroom mirror.", "Smith's got the camcorder in one hand, and he leans down to give Ferreira a soft kiss on her face.", "It's a romantic image but also an eerie one, like footage waiting to be unearthed by a documentary crew a couple decades into the future.", "Smith seems to feel a kinship with this contingent of gone-too-soon songwriters.", "But at this particular moment in time, it doesn't really seem like he's looking for his own tragic ending\u2014not now, anyway.", "There's a beautiful new album on the way and too much to lose, including the unwavering support of Ferreira.", "\"I've put her through a lot,\" Smith says of his girlfriend.", "\"She dealt with all of it and continued to love me.\"", "It's hard to know if the long-delayed Is the Is Are will be a success\u2014and whether a band like DIIV can ever fully bounce back from all the blog-world controversies, addictions, and interpersonal struggles that have riddled its upward trajectory from the start.", "But though nothing is certain, Smith isn't ready to give up just yet, and it's time once again to go home to New York.", "Before we leave Catskill, Smith stops at a tiny store on Main Street.", "\"I got you a present,\" he says when he emerges, tossing me a strawberry-flavored Ring Pop, and keeping another for himself.", "Bailey carefully steers the van onto the road, dodging a few slow-moving townies ambling around on foot.", "\"All these upstate towns are totally stuck in time,\" Bailey says as we start the drive back home.", "For a couple seconds, we can see the little house's red bricks through the trees.", "Smith puts his slender hand out the open window, the

Angelica Kitchen, a cozy East Village restaurant that's been serving tasty vegan food to artists and hippies since the '70s.", "Through work, he started connecting with New York's thriving underground music scene: if hungry musicians came in looking for free food, Smith would share what he could.", "While he'd played guitar since he was a small child, even starting a half-assed band with Bailey and another friend in high school, he says he'd always considered it more of a hobby than a calling: \"It was just something I knew how to do.\"", "It wasn't until 2010, after a couple years playing in the local psych rock band Soft Black and the well-liked jangle-pop outfit Beach Fossils, that Smith, then 26, decided to start writing his own rock songs.", "At first, Smith says his biggest goal was

marked by cassette-quality production, time-warped guitar tones, and hazy vocals.", "But something about DIIV's textured songcraft\u2014the tangled-up riffs, the motorik grooves, and the mind-numbing repetition\u2014made that lo-fi rock formula seem sorta new again.", "Their music felt like sped-up shoegaze for late-night weirdos, and the band performed it with a gripping, nothing-else-matters punk energy.", "\"Part of it was who we were, who we knew, and what we looked like,\" Smith remembers of their early reception, which may have been at least partly influenced by their too-cool, ragamuffin charms.", "\"But it also had to do with the songs, and how much we were willing to play.\"", "\"I feel like I owe the world a good record.", "I was blessed enough to get this far; it would be such a shame to sputter out now.\"", "For a while, it was almost like DIIV was the unofficial house band of 285 Kent, a wide-open waterfront warehouse known for its all-over-the-place lineups and

father\u2014It stops and starts/ A gesture here and there...you blew it/ Now you've gone too far\u2014features the bandleader full-on sprinting through the moonlit streets of Brooklyn, hurrying to join the rest of the band thrashing around on the venue's stage.", "Today, 285's unmarked door has been shut for more than a year, and its neighboring DIY havens, Glasslands and Death By Audio, are closed too.", "(The building in which all three were located is now being rented by Vice.)", "By the time Oshin came out, in June of 2012, DIIV had a booking agent and didn't really need to play as many shows around town.", "With all the hype surrounding his project, Smith says he started feeling alienated from his peers in the scene.", "\"I walked into 285 Kent the day [the record] came out, and all these people are like, 'Hey man, congrats on Pitchfork.", "Best New Music!'", "I felt like they thought I was better than them, or that they thought I had a big head.", "Like, 'Why you?'", "I never really felt like a true part of [the community] after that.\"", "Today, the version of Brooklyn that DIIV outgrew doesn't really exist anymore\u2014at least not in Williamsburg.", "A few days after our first meeting, when I ask Smith to suggest a place to grab a drink, he arbitrarily chooses a yuppie-friendly bar called Black Bear, not realizing that it was constructed on the site of Public Assembly, a venue DIIV used to play before it closed, near the end of 2013.", "He may have picked it because it was a quick walk from his and Ferreira's apartment.", "More than likely, though, he just doesn't know where to go anymore.", "The next morning, on a sterile North Williamsburg block about half a mile from the old 285 Kent, Smith answers the door in only a beach towel.", "He dashes around the two-floor apartment with the energy of a kid before a field trip, his wet hair pulled into a messy high ponytail.", "Since he and Ferreira are moving soon, the place is a total wreck: the couch is hidden beneath piles of seemingly clean clothes, and there's an empty, sad-looking fish tank that dried up after Smith left it in the care of a flaky housesitter.", "The lower level is just as cluttered, with racks upon racks of Ferreira's chic clothing, plus a bare twin mattress and a flatscreen TV that doesn't work.", "\"Sky would kill me if she knew I let you in here,\" Smith says.",

recording the new LP.", "Smith says he had to pay $1700 in overdue fees to even be able to take it out.", "It's a little after 10AM, and the three of us are making the two-hour drive to Catskill to collect the last of Smith's stuff from his house up there.", "While waiting for the van's tires to fill up with air, Smith and Bailey play tic-tac-toe on the dust-covered window.", "On the road, the pair chat about writing Is the Is Are in January and February of this year, when Smith rented a warehouse and flew the whole band to L.A. to help him expand on the demos he had written alone.", "They're candid about the difficulties of collaborating with recently departed drummer Hewitt, who Smith says is a \"hardcore fucking drug addict\" and had trouble learning the new songs.", "(Via email, Hewitt denied drug use as the reason for his departure, citing instead a lack of steady income from the band and creative frustrations.", "\"I quit because I never really liked the music that much,\" he explained.)", "On DIIV's recent European tour, Oshin session drummer Ben Newman filled in.", "It's bright out, and Bailey is driving carefully on a winding, two-lane country highway with a jagged rock face running along its right shoulder.", "\"Colby just needs to figure his shit out,\" Smith says from the passenger seat.", "\"When I had my shit, I figured it out,\" Bailey adds, hinting at his own trip to a Georgia rehab facility, in 2013, after trying to quit drinking cold turkey sent him into a life-threatening withdrawal.", "\"This road freaks me out,\" Smith says suddenly.", "\"It's, like, falling apart.\"", "\"There's a lot of people around me who were doing really badly, and there were a lot of people around me doing well.", "And I knew which one I wanted to be.\"", "If you ask, Smith will tell you about getting high.", "He'll tell you that when tripping in groups, he prefers to drop the LSD a few minutes before everyone else so that he can be \"the leader,\" and he'll tell you about a time he spent staring mindlessly at a wall for 12 hours straight after trying meth in Los Angeles.", "He'll relay nerve-racking anecdotes about shooting up cocaine and cushioning the comedown with heroin, a sensation he likens to getting struck by a freight train and crash-landing in a pillow factory.", "\"There's an expression I always think about,\" he says: \"A smart man learns from his own mistakes; a wise man learns from others' mistakes.", "I've been able to apply that to my life in a lot of ways, but when it comes to drugs, I can't be told, 'Don't do it.'", "I have to try everything for myself.", "I couldn't live my life knowing that there was this insane experience that I was missing out on.\"", "When he started DIIV, Smith says he found himself surrounded by a lot of people using drugs, including smack.", "\"It was, like, everyone,\" he says of the particular clique of New York creative types he'd fallen into.", "Soon enough, he was using too.", "By 2013, Smith's growing addiction to heroin started to become a serious problem.", "At the peak of DIIV's popularity, a strung-out Smith couldn't give fans what they wanted most: new music.", "\"When I was getting fucked up all the time, I wrote literally zero songs,\" Smith remembers.", "He tried to pull it together, but even a single day without heroin can hurl an addict into a head-spinning, stomach-turning dope sickness.", "In the summer of 2013, an entire recording session with ex-Girls bassist and producer Chet \"JR\" White was scrapped.", "\"Quitting gets put off,\" Smith says, \"because there's never a good time to feel like fucking hell.\"", "After the arrest upstate, Smith was formally charged with a criminal misdemeanor for drug possession.", "In January of 2014, he left New York for an upscale detox facility in southern Connecticut that once treated the late Philip Seymour Hoffman.", "The court-ordered detox was brutal; Smith says the highest available dose of Methadone\u2014a synthetic opiate given to help ease the pain of withdrawal\u2014paled in comparison to the amount of smack he had been injecting every day.", "\"I think the longest opiate person they ever had stayed for seven days,\" Smith says.", "\"I was there for eleven.\"", "To get through it, he re-", "read journalist Michael Azerrad's Come as You Are: The Story of Nirvana, a nonfiction book originally published a year before Kurt Cobain's death.", "\"It made me feel like I was back on the road with my band,\" Smith says.", "\"It made me feel like there was a world out there.\"", "After he was discharged, he says the possibility of losing Ferreira did more to keep him straight than any recovery program.", "\"Sky was extremely adamant that I couldn't be using drugs and be in a relationship with her at the same time,\" Smith says.", "\"Given that choice, it's pretty fucking obvious which direction to go in.\"", "Smith tells me he's clean now, or heroin-free at least (on more than one occasion, we drink together).", "It's obvious he's excited about his sprawling new double-LP, animatedly introducing each track as he plays it in the van on the way to Catskill: \"This is my favorite song!\" he says.", "\"No, this one!\"", "He only sings along once, when we listen to a moody number featuring Ferreira speak-singing some abstract poetry.", "Musically, Is the Is Are is both a continuation of Oshin's songcraft and an introduction to a sharper and more labored-over DIIV sound.", "Some new tracks sound angry\u2014like \"Dust,\" a seismic standout that has been in the band's live set for almost two years.", "And some sound pensive, such as a pretty song Smith's been calling \"Healthy Moon,\" which opens with the lazily sung lyric: How can I describe this fading dream?", "It's a simple sentiment, but one that seems to precisely explain the half-cognitive euphoria DIIV's music captures, a fearless high that's always on the verge of slipping away.", "It doesn't take long to work out that a lot of the songs are about wrestling with addiction: on one, Smith sings the Alcoholic Anonymous catchphrase, It works if you work it, and another goes, I was high but now I feel low.", "On Oshin, the vocalizations were muddled in the mix, just another gear in Smith's delirium-inducing machine.", "\"This time,\" he says, \"I really wanted people to be able to understand the words and connect with them.\"", "These songs are more observational and more confessional, influenced by his personal demons and those stalking the people closest to him.", "\"There's a lot of people around me who were doing really badly, and there were a lot of people around me doing well,\" Smith says.", "\"And I knew which one I wanted to be.\"", "\"I hate this fucking place,\" Smith says, jostling the knob on the Catskill house's gray door.", "We're standing on stepping stones in the house's overgrown garden, which you get to by crossing an actual white picket fence and walking down a lumpy green hill, one street over from the town's storybook Main Street.", "When we finally get inside, the first thing that catches my eye is an artist badge from the ill-fated 2013 Basilica festival, resting on an ugly brown rug.", "Somehow, DIIV wound up performing there the day after Smith's arrest, when Basilica founder and legendary Hole bassist Melissa Auf der Maur bailed him out of jail.", "There isn't much stuff left to pack up, though almost everything Smith uncovers seems to have some deep-seated sentimental value.", "Looking through the crates of books, he singles out an odd tome called Shaman that he and Perez found on the street in Brooklyn years ago.", "Its pages contain some of the band's more recognizable imagery, including the ancient stone carvings Smith screen-printed onto some CD-Rs he burned for early demos of \"Sometime\" and \"Corvalis.\"", "During a break from loading the van, he gets a text saying that Saint Laurent is looking for last-minute male models to walk in the upcoming show.", "Bailey strips down to his shorts and pouts against the off-white wall while Smith snaps a few iPhone pics to send to casting.", "Some of Smith's most prized possessions are also still tucked away in the house, including two guitars.", "One is an electric that his father gave to him at birth; it's dark blue and has little cowboy-themed drawings on it, supposedly made from children's pajamas found in a ghost town.", "The second is a beat-up acoustic that used to belong to Elliott Smith, the singer-songwriter who committed suicide at the age of 34.", "Ferreira got it from composer Jon Brion\u2014a friend of Elliott's who collaborated with Ferreira on her 2012 EP, Ghost\u2014and gifted it to Smith on their first Valentine's Day together.", "When he finds it, he pulls it out of the case, strums a few clumsy chords, and starts to play \"Alameda,\" a sad song that Elliott Smith released in 1997: Nobody broke your heart/ You broke your own cause you can't finish what you start, he sings.", "Nobody broke your heart.", "Elliott Smith is just one of several doomed rock stars the DIIV frontman is obsessed with.", "He's a big fan of garage punk icon Jay Reatard, who died in his sleep from a mixture of cocaine and alcohol, and he's unabashed about his love for Johnny Thunders, the legendary New York punk guitarist whose seemingly drug-related death at age 39 remains a mystery to this day.", "And, of course, there's Kurt Cobain, whose name comes up often during our time together, though Smith just calls him \"Kurt.\"", "In the car earlier, we talked about Montage of Heck, the recently released documentary that stitches together rare home-movie footage of the Nirvana frontman with rotoscope-animated reenactments of his early life.", "Smith watched it with his mother, who he says felt uncomfortable because she had trouble separating the platinum-blond boy on screen from her own son.", "In the homemade music video Smith directed for Ferreira's 2013 song \"Omanko,\" there's a shot of the couple in their bathroom mirror.", "Smith's got the camcorder in one hand, and he leans down to give Ferreira a soft kiss on her face.", "It's a romantic image but also an eerie one, like footage waiting to be unearthed by a documentary crew a couple decades into the future.", "Smith seems to feel a kinship with this contingent of gone-too-soon songwriters.", "But at this particular moment in time, it doesn't really seem like he's looking for his own tragic ending\u2014not now, anyway.", "There's a beautiful new album on the way and too much to lose, including the unwavering support of Ferreira.", "\"I've put her through a lot,\" Smith says of his girlfriend.", "\"She dealt with all of it and continued to love me.\"", "It's hard to know if the long-delayed Is the Is Are will be a success\u2014and whether a band like DIIV can ever fully bounce back from all the blog-world controversies, addictions, and interpersonal struggles that have riddled its upward trajectory from the start.", "But though nothing is certain, Smith isn't ready to give up just yet, and it's time once again to go home to New York.", "Before we leave Catskill, Smith stops at a tiny store on Main Street.", "\"I got you a present,\" he says when he emerges, tossing me a strawberry-flavored Ring Pop, and keeping another for himself.", "Bailey carefully steers the van onto the road, dodging a few slow-moving townies ambling around on foot.", "\"All these upstate towns are totally stuck in time,\" Bailey says as we start the drive back home.", "For a couple seconds, we can see the little house's red bricks through the trees.", "Smith puts his slender hand out the open window, the

the lowest exposure rates for 11 of the 14 pollutants monitored in the study.", "Meanwhile, Hispanics had the highest exposure rates for 10 out of the 14 pollutants, and African Americans had higher exposure rates than whites for 13 out of the 14 pollutants.", "Some of the pollutants studied have been connected to asthma, cardiovascular issues, lung disease, and cancer.", "For example, a case study of The Bronx, New York, found that individuals who lived close to noxious industrial facilities and waste sites were 66 percent more likely to be hospitalized for asthma.", "Significantly, these same individuals were 13 percent more likely to be people of color.", "Landfills, hazardous waste sites, and other industrial facilities are most often located in communities of color.", "A report

in urban areas are at the highest risk for lead poisoning caused by lead-based paint.", "A study by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention determined that 11.2 percent of African American

anemia, seizures, and brain development issues.", "Even with the restrictions on lead paint usage, children of color who live in low-income communities continue to suffer the most.", "For example, a

the contaminant, possible health problems can include waterborne diseases, blood disorders, and cancer.", "Indigenous people of the Navajo Nation, for example, have suffered for years from water

influenced respiratory health starts in utero. Mothers who were exposed to PM2.5 weekly during gestation, were likely to have a child diagnosed with asthma by the age 6 years. Many of the mothers exposed to PM2.5 were ethnic minorities (54% Hispanic, 30% black), had 12 or fewer years of education (66%), and did not smoke in pregnancy (80%). Inner-city children from the age of 5\u201311 years old were diagnosed with Asthma, due to prenatal exposure to phthalates, butylbenzyl phthalate (BBzP), di-n-butyl phthalate (DnBP), di(2-ethylhexyl) phthalate (DEHP), and diethyl phthalate (DEP). These phthalates were detected in urine samples from 300 pregnant women. Roughly seven million children suffer from asthma, meaning 1 out of every 10 children, and the rates have been steadily increasing. Among African American children, one out of six children suffers from asthma, which has risen by 50% since 2001.

to have served as an object lesson for other governors who favor right-to-work policies.", "For example, Bruce Rauner, the recently elected governor of Illinois, has tried to impose right-to-work on the public sector by way of executive order.", "Clashes between state officials and public sector unions aren't necessarily a prelude to right-to-work bills.", "Even in states where such legislation

legislature, not just the latter.", "President Barack Obama said in a statement that he was \"deeply disappointed that a new anti-worker law in Wisconsin will weaken, rather than strengthen workers in the new economy.\"", "Then he challenged Walker: \"I'd encourage him to try and score a victory for working Americans \u2014 by taking meaningful action to raise their wages and offer them the security of paid leave.", "That's how you give hardworking middle-class families a fair shot in the new economy \u2013 not by stripping their rights in the workplace.\"", "Whatever Walker's role in shepherding this particular bill to passage, he is right to claim some of the credit for making Wisconsin a right-to-work state.", "The legislation he signed into law Monday was made possible by his earlier triumphs over the state's labor movement.", "His victories offer a lesson to policymakers in other states: If you intend to hobble the labor movement as a whole, go after the public sector unions first.", "At a time of extreme weakness and vulnerability for the American labor movement, the public sector is a crucial bulwark.", "As of last year, just 6.6 percent of private employees were union members, as opposed 35.7 percent of government workers, according to the federal Bureau of Labor Statistics.", "Because of their numbers and the fact that members are positioned in the state bureaucracy, public sector unions are relatively influential when it comes to directing government policy: Teachers' unions can use contract negotiations to exert modest influence over education policy, for example, and police unions can pressure cities to modify their approaches to crime reduction.", "Private unions may lobby the government on similar issues, but they tend to do so as outsiders.", "As a result, the typical public sector union is much harder to dislodge than the typical private sector union.", "For an ambitious governor who seeks to break what remains of the labor movement's power in a state, public unions represent a greater obstacle.", "The right-to-work legislation that Walker signed into law applies to public and private sector unions.", "But that law might not have been conceivable if Walker had not first succeeded in passing Act 10, a 2011 law that applied exclusively to government employee unions.", "That bill struck at the core function of American labor unions: collective bargaining.", "Under Act 10, most state employee unions were limited to negotiating solely over their members' salaries and virtually no other issues related to workplace conditions.", "State employee unions, with the assistance of the Wisconsin Democratic Party, fought Act 10 with nearly everything they had.", "But Walker won that fight, with disastrous consequences for public sector labor.", "Union membership among government workers collapsed, dropping from 50 percent to 37 percent in just one year.", "By 2014, the annual budget for the Wisconsin State Employees Union shrank by two-thirds from three years earlier.", "If the public sector was a fortress for the state's labor movement, then its walls had been breached.", "Four years after Act 10, Wisconsin Republicans proposed right-to-work legislation that would affect both public and private sector unions, and thousands of protesters descended on the state capital to register their disapproval.", "But this time around, the outcome of the fight was practically a foregone conclusion.", "Republicans got the bill out of committee and onto the governor's desk in short order, with little in the way of meaningful obstruction.", "Without the leverage to switch votes, local labor leaders said they were focused on educating the public about the harmful effects of right-to-work laws.", "The GOP was able to push through right-to-work legislation with relative ease because the local labor movement had already been dealt a body blow.", "As a result, Wisconsin's experience seems to have served as an object lesson for other governors who favor right-to-work policies.", "For example, Bruce Rauner, the recently elected governor of Illinois, has tried to impose right-to-work on the public sector by way of executive order.", "Clashes between state officials and public sector unions aren't necessarily a prelude to right-to-work bills.", "Even in states where such legislation is unlikely to ever be made law \u2014 including in states where the governor is a Democrat \u2014 policymakers and government employee unions are battling over issues such as pension cuts and charter school expansion.", "While legislative hardball over retirement funds might not be as much a threat to state employee unions as Act 10, it may do its part to sap whatever strength they have left.", "The implications for organized labor extend far beyond just the public sector.", "### Related News", "Labor,", "Republican Party,", "#### Find Al Jazeera America on your TV", "#### Get email updates

result of Black Mamba and Cape Cobra bites, treatment is very effective and often life-saving.", "It is however critically important to get victims to a hospital and onto a ventilator (if required) or

McLaren later admitted that he purposely booked redneck bars to provoke hostile situations.

role she tackled immediately prior, a French landscape gardener at Versailles during the reign of Louis XIV in \"A Little Chaos.\"", "Alan Rickman, who directed, also plays the Sun King.", "The concentrated timetable on the overlapping productions was partly due to the impending birth of Winslet's third child, which arrived in December.", "\"It was such a huge jump and I just had to throw myself at it,\" Winslet explains about wrapping one movie in England before flying to Chicago for \"Divergent.\"", "\"Everybody was suddenly cramming everything in before I got too pregnant.", "I was

because by the time I come to do the second one, I won't have gone away and played another character in between.\"", "The last time that happened was when Winslet took a hiatus from a TV show, \"Get Back,\" in her teens to play the homicidal Juliet Hulme in Peter Jackson's \"Heavenly Creatures,\" her feature debut.", "\"I'd gone off and played a schoolgirl who murdered somebody with a brick in a stocking,\" she recalls, \"and suddenly coming back playing a slightly chubby 15-year-old with Ray Winstone playing my father in a sitcom \u2014 it was like, 'Whoa, I don't know who I am anymore.'

Nonetheless, she played key roles as Miss Agatha Hannigan in \"Annie\", the Mother Wolf in \"The Jungle Book\", and Lena Marelli in \"Bugsy Malone\". \n In 1991, within two weeks of finishing her GCSE examinations, Winslet made her screen debut as one of the main cast members of the BBC science fiction television series \"Dark Season\". Her part was that of Reet, a schoolgirl who helps her classmates fight against a sinister man distributing free computers to her school. She did not earn much from the job, and at 16, a lack of funds forced Winslet to leave Redroofs. To support herself, she worked at a delicatessen. In 1992, she had a small part in the television film \"Anglo-Saxon Attitudes\", an adaptation of Angus Wilson's satirical novel. Winslet, who weighed 13\u00a0stone 3\u00a0pounds (84\u00a0kg; 185\u00a0lb) at the time, played the daughter of an obese woman in it. While filming, an off-hand comment from the director Diarmuid Lawrence about the likeness between her and the actress who played her mother prompted Winslet to lose weight.

Fame on March 17.", "The sentiment is not a recent affectation.", "Back in 2007, when she was being honored with a Britannia award from BAFTA/LA and had just garnered her fifth Oscar nomination, the message was the same.", "\"It's sort of a survival instinct on some level,\" she told Variety at the time.", "\"In some way I'm protecting myself against changing the way I do my job.", "I live and breathe and exist in a world where confidence is everything.", "I avoid reading reviews in the hope that I'm contributing to my little confidence tank.\"", "If anything, Winslet's \"confidence tank\" should be filled to the brim, since she routinely benefits from the kinds of reviews most actors only dream of.", "Even when the material doesn't rise to her level of commitment \u2014 such as \"Revolutionary Road\" (2008) and the more recent \"Labor Day,\" highly pedigreed films with disappointing receptions \u2014 Winslet has managed to escape unscathed.", "### Related", "### Sky Lands

performances are superb,\" added USA Today's Claudia Puig in her otherwise lukewarm assessment.", "\"Labor Day\" encountered an even rockier road, having been neglected during the recent awards season

escaped convict, despite the danger to her adolescent son.", "And yet Winslet was praised for her \"warmth, intelligence and sincerity\" by the notoriously thorny Rex Reed of the New York Observer, one of the film's few champions.", "\"Kate Winslet has such sound and reliable dramatic instincts she very nearly makes something of Adele,\" chimed in the Chicago Tribune's Michael Phillips in his pan of the film.", "Her role in the upcoming \"Divergent,\" the first of a planned trilogy based on Veronica Roth's bestselling novels, could pose a similar challenge of acceptance.", "The parallels to another franchise based on popular young-adult fiction set in the dystopian future, \"The Hunger Games,\" could work for or against the series.", "The initial film, being released March 21 by \"Hunger Games\" distributor Lionsgate, will see Winslet play her first true villainness, Jeanine Matthews, leader of the Erudite Faction, an intelligence group at odds with the other factions (Abnegation, Amity, Candor and Dauntless).", "\"She has grand designs on pretty much taking over the entire factions system in not necessarily the most sound ways,\" explains Winslet of her character.", "\"She's a pretty nasty piece of work.", "I find myself likening her to sort of a female Hitler.\"", "The part is not only a departure for Winslet, but a night-and-day about-face from the role she tackled immediately prior, a French landscape gardener at Versailles during the reign of Louis XIV in \"A Little Chaos.\"", "Alan Rickman, who directed, also plays the Sun King.", "The concentrated timetable on the overlapping productions was partly due to the impending birth of Winslet's third child, which arrived in December.", "\"It was such a huge jump and I just had to throw myself at it,\" Winslet explains about wrapping one movie in England before flying to Chicago for \"Divergent.\"", "\"Everybody was suddenly cramming everything in before I got too pregnant.", "I was on set wearing a corset on a Monday, and on a completely different set by the Friday, wearing four-inch heels and a blonde, blunt-cut wig and wanting people dead.\"", "The new film also marks the first time Winslet will be playing a recurring character, having signed on for at least the second installment, \"Insurgent,\" which will be released a year down the line.", "\"I feel right about it because by the time I come to do the second one, I won't have gone away and played another character in between.\"", "The last time that happened was when Winslet took a hiatus from a TV show, \"Get Back,\" in her teens to play the homicidal Juliet Hulme in Peter Jackson's \"Heavenly Creatures,\" her feature debut.", "\"I'd gone off and played a schoolgirl who murdered somebody with a brick in a stocking,\" she recalls, \"and suddenly coming back playing a slightly chubby 15-year-old with Ray Winstone playing my father in a sitcom \u2014 it was like, 'Whoa, I don't know who I am anymore.'

Todd Haynes, Steven Soderbergh and Jane Campion, to name just a few.", "\"I suppose the ultimate goal for me is to really keep doing my best and reinventing the wheel and to keep doing this,\" she says.", "\"And to never become complacent and to always strive to do better and work harder and think bigger.", "And when I say 'think bigger' I don't mean in terms of fame; I mean in terms of challenges that I hope I'm able to take on.\"", "Would that include acting on stage?", "\"To be honest, things come up often,\" she says.", "\"And I end up feeling agonized over turning things down or not being able to make something quite work because I have a family.", "\"I do yearn for the sort of brutal and raw challenge of theater because I know how much I would love it and I know how much I would get out of it.", "And I know much it would sort of keep everything awake.", "But I just can't do that right now.\"", "Loading comments...", "### Most Viewed", "### 'Grey's Anatomy' Season 14

participated in over 20 of their stage productions, but was rarely selected as the lead due to her weight. Nonetheless, she played key roles as Miss Agatha Hannigan in \"Annie\", the Mother Wolf in \"The Jungle Book\", and Lena Marelli in \"Bugsy Malone\". \n In 1991, within two weeks of finishing her GCSE examinations, Winslet made her screen debut as one of the main cast members of the BBC science fiction television series \"Dark Season\". Her part was that of Reet, a schoolgirl who helps her classmates fight against a sinister man distributing free computers to her school. She did not earn much from the job, and at 16, a lack of funds forced Winslet to leave Redroofs. To support herself, she worked at a delicatessen. In 1992, she had a small part in the television film \"Anglo-Saxon Attitudes\", an adaptation of Angus Wilson's satirical novel. Winslet, who weighed 13\u00a0stone 3\u00a0pounds (84\u00a0kg; 185\u00a0lb) at the time, played the daughter of an obese woman in it. While filming, an off-hand comment from the director Diarmuid Lawrence about the likeness between her and the actress who played her mother prompted Winslet to lose weight. She next took on the role of the young daughter of a bankrupt middle-aged man.

concentrated timetable on the overlapping productions was partly due to the impending birth of Winslet's third child, which arrived in December.", "\"It was such a huge jump and I just had to throw

participated in over 20 of their stage productions, but was rarely selected as the lead due to her weight. Nonetheless, she played key roles as Miss Agatha Hannigan in \"Annie\", the Mother Wolf in \"The Jungle Book\", and Lena Marelli in \"Bugsy Malone\". \n In 1991, within two weeks of finishing her GCSE examinations, Winslet made her screen debut as one of the main cast members of the BBC science fiction television series \"Dark Season\". Her part was that of Reet, a schoolgirl who helps her classmates fight against a sinister man distributing free computers to her school. She did not earn much from the job, and at 16, a lack of funds forced Winslet to leave Redroofs. To support herself, she worked at a delicatessen. In 1992, she had a small part in the television film \"Anglo-Saxon Attitudes\", an adaptation of Angus Wilson's satirical novel. Winslet, who weighed 13\u00a0stone 3\u00a0pounds (84\u00a0kg; 185\u00a0lb) at the time, played the daughter of an obese woman in it. While filming, an off-hand comment from the director Diarmuid Lawrence about the likeness between her and the actress who played her mother prompted Winslet to lose weight. She next took on the role of the young daughter of a bankrupt middle-aged man. The man was played by Ray Winstone.

role she tackled immediately prior, a French landscape gardener at Versailles during the reign of Louis XIV in \"A Little Chaos.\"", "Alan Rickman, who directed, also plays the Sun King.", "The concentrated timetable on the overlapping productions was partly due to the impending birth of Winslet's third child, which arrived in December.", "\"It was such a huge jump and I just had to throw myself at it,\" Winslet explains about wrapping one movie in England before flying to Chicago for \"Divergent.\"", "\"Everybody was suddenly cramming everything in before I got too pregnant.", "I was on set wearing a corset on a Monday, and on a completely different set by the Friday, wearing four-inch heels and a blonde, blunt-cut wig and wanting people dead.\"", "The new film also marks the first time Winslet will be playing a recurring character, having signed on for at least the second installment, \"Insurgent,\" which will be released a year down the line.", "\"I feel right about it because by the time I come to do the second one, I won't have gone away and played another character in between.\"", "The last time that happened was when Winslet took a hiatus from a TV show, \"Get Back,\" in her teens to play the homicidal Juliet Hulme in Peter Jackson's \"Heavenly Creatures,\" her feature debut.", "\"I'd gone off and played a schoolgirl who murdered somebody with a brick in a stocking,\" she recalls, \"and suddenly coming back playing a slightly chubby 15-year-old with Ray Winstone playing my father in a sitcom \u2014 it was like, 'Whoa, I don't know who I am anymore.' \"", "The heroine of \"Divergent,\" Beatrice Prior \u2014 the tale's equivalent of Katnis Everdeen \u2014 is played by rising star Shailene Woodley, whose career at this juncture Winslet likens to her own when she starred in the box office behemoth, \"Titanic.\"", "\"She's really such a wonderful, special girl,\" says Winslet about Woodley.", "\"And I feel very protective of her and I feel very excited for her as well.", "There are lots of things that are going to open up for her.", "And she's going to know how to make the right choices and she's going to absolutely navigate (her career) very steadily.\"", "With an Oscar for \"The Reader\" (2008), an Emmy for the miniseries \"Mildred Pierce\" (2011), three SAG awards and two BAFTAs, among several other kudos, Winslet nevertheless keeps raising the bar on her own career.", "After all, she's still in her 30s, which is remarkable given the fact that she's already worked with such directors as Jackson, Ang Lee, Roman Polanski, Todd Haynes, Steven Soderbergh and Jane Campion, to name just a few.", "\"I suppose the ultimate goal for me is to really keep doing my best and reinventing the wheel and to keep doing this,\" she says.", "\"And to never become complacent and to always strive to do better and work harder and think bigger.", "And when I say 'think bigger' I don't mean in terms of fame; I mean in terms of challenges that I hope I'm able to take on.\"", "Would that include acting on stage?", "\"To be honest, things come up often,\" she says.", "\"And I end up feeling agonized over turning things down or not being able to make something quite work because I have a family.", "\"I do yearn for the sort of brutal and raw challenge of theater because I know how much I would love it and I know how much I would get out of it.", "And I know much it would sort of keep everything awake.", "But I just can't do that right now.\"", "Loading comments...", "### Most Viewed", "### 'Grey's Anatomy' Season 14

participated in over 20 of their stage productions, but was rarely selected as the lead due to her weight. Nonetheless, she played key roles as Miss Agatha Hannigan in \"Annie\", the Mother Wolf in \"The Jungle Book\", and Lena Marelli in \"Bugsy Malone\". \n In 1991, within two weeks of finishing her GCSE examinations, Winslet made her screen debut as one of the main cast members of the BBC science fiction television series \"Dark Season\". Her part was that of Reet, a schoolgirl who helps her classmates fight against a sinister man distributing free computers to her school. She did not earn much from the job, and at 16, a lack of funds forced Winslet to leave Redroofs. To support herself, she worked at a delicatessen. In 1992, she had a small part in the television film \"Anglo-Saxon Attitudes\", an adaptation of Angus Wilson's satirical novel. Winslet, who weighed 13\u00a0stone 3\u00a0pounds (84\u00a0kg; 185\u00a0lb) at the time, played the daughter of an obese woman in it. While filming, an off-hand comment from the director Diarmuid Lawrence about the likeness between her and the actress who played her mother prompted Winslet to lose weight. She next took on the role of the young daughter of a bankrupt middle-aged man. The man was played by Ray Winstone.

What defines American capitalism specifically and why did it become that way?'\"", "That's a hell of subject for a play to tackle, but based on my experience catching it as a work-in-progress at the 2010 Ice Factory Festival\u2026well, while I reserve the right to change my opinion based on the final version going up at COIL, I've previously described it as one of the smartest pieces of political theater I've seen in a while.", "And I'll stand by that for now.", "Fun, engaging, intelligent, non-didactic, and touching in a surprisingly humane way (given the stated subject), it challenges the standard for political theater in America and is one of the shows I'm most excited to see this January.", "The TEAM coalesced around Chavkin back in December 2004, mainly consisting of fellow NYU alums.", "The name was originally based on Chavkin's college nickname (I did not get that story) but, following the advice of an accountant from the Field who said they'd never be able to incorporate a company named \"The Team,\" the company decided to make it an acronym.", "In fact, the first group writing assignment was to come up with what \"team\" stood for, and the combined result was the portentous \"Theater of the Emerging American Moment.\"", "Today, the company has nearly doubled in size, mainly with other NYU-trained artists but also including a couple designers with experience at the SITI Company, owing no doubt to Chavkin's further training at Columbia with Anne Bogart.", "Chavkin serves as artistic director of the company and the director of the company's shows, though, given the collaborative nature of the endeavor, she describes herself as an \"editor,\" bringing together the disparate strands developed through the generative process.", "The TEAM's Rachel Chavkin and Amber Gray, with the Edinburgh Fringe Herald Angel Award they won for \"Mission Drift.\"", "Mission Drift is the sort of play that suffers in description.", "Essentially, it tells the story of two couples.", "The first is Joris and Catalina Rapelje, a fictionalized version of the couple known proverbially as the American Adam and Eve.", "Married in the Netherlands in 1624, the couple moved the North America the same year and ultimately settled in New Amsterdam, where they're credited with giving birth to the first European child in the city; today they count some one million Americans as descendants.", "In Mission Drift, the two exist as perpetual adolescents who set out from New Amsterdam in the Seventeenth Century and follow the westward expansion until 1890, when the Census declared the \"end of the frontier,\" with all supposedly \"vacant\" land in the United States settled.", "The two find themselves left in the city of Las Vegas, where they set out to create a new frontier through capitalist enterprise.", "Joan is a native of present-day Las Vegas, consigned to working odd service sector jobs while engaging in a form of urban archaeology by preserving the ever disposed signage of the strip as a volunteer at the \"Neon Boneyard,\" an amateur museum experiment I was surprised to discover is real.", "(Sadly, apparently, others have, too; according to Chavkin, when the company visited a couple years ago it was still below the radar.", "Recently though she heard from a friend there that the city's Office of Cultural Affairs had learned of it and, unintentionally echoing a line from the play, the friend told Chavkin that they \"looked at the Neon Boneyard and saw dollar signs.\")", "Joan's erstwhile love-interest is a member of the Southern Paiute tribe displaced by development, forced out of his home by the city pursuing the water rights to his family's well.", "What ultimately unfolds is a drama of conflicting interests, with Catalina occupying the role of frontiersman, longing for the possibility of new discovery and in love with power of creation to cultivate the emptiness of the American desert.", "Her path is related to the rapacious capitalism Joris indulges, but whereas he's in love with the accumulation of wealth, she's is driven by a different need, and this conflict ultimately draws them apart.", "For Chris, the Paiute, either way, the city they've built as developers has displaced him (and whoever said the desert was empty, anyway?) and he rebels against the very existence of Las Vegas.", "Joan, a non-aboriginal native of the constructed city, finds herself displaced from her own home through the rapacious development of the Rapeljes (mirroring, of course, the real estate bubble that popped shortly after the TEAM began the project).", "Oh, and Mission Drift is also a musical.", "Of a non-traditional sort.", "With performances and music by the amazing Heather Christian as Miss Atomic.", "Got all that?", "\"I think our endless process\u2013and probably endlessly frustrating process\u2013is one of the things that gives our work the density that I hope people associate with our plays,\" Chavkin told me.", "The TEAM's work is devised through a lengthy and intense process.", "I asked Chavkin to describe the process of developing the final work, and for simplicity's sake, she limited her explanation to the character of Joan, by way of example.", "Beginning at an early workshop at the Brick Theater in 2009, four of the company members were working on different things.", "Jess Almasy was interested in developing a character who believed she was Joan of Arc, envisioning the role as a Wisconsin transplant to Vegas.", "Jill Frutkin was interested in the issue of prostitution, and discovered an organization called Hookers for Jesus, comprised of born-again former prostitutes seeking to help others leave the profession.", "Libby King was fascinated with Hunter S. Thompson.", "And Kristen Sieh was interested in playing a tumbleweed, or desert native.", "The name \"Joan\" stuck, elements of one or another enterprise went into the final character\u2013a Vegas/desert native, volunteer at the Neon Boneyard, and a theme-restaurant waitress\u2013while others went by the wayside or were incorporated into other characters (the Rapeljes became the immigrants to Vegas).", "I knew that an important part of the development had taken place in Las Vegas itself, but when I asked Chavkin who had supported their residency and work on the ground, I got an emphatic \"No one.\"", "\"We fundraised like fucking crazy and we tried for support,\" she said.", "\"And now I'm thrilled to say we just got a grant from the NEA to bring the final work back to Vegas.\"", "Ultimately the company paid out of pocket or relied on donations to spend a month in the city, and in her role as director-cum-editor, Chavkin arranged a tight schedule of \"field trips\" to experience the place in the mornings, followed by intensive work in the theater the University of Las Vegas donated for their use in the afternoons.", "In their field trips, they met with and interviewed members of the local culinary workers' union, to get a sense of the labor reality in Vegas.", "They visited the Atomic Testing Museum (the testing of the bomb also figures apocalyptically in the play).", "Another trip took them to the Springs Preserve, an institution devoted to the history of the desert ecology and sustainable development, which ultimately features prominently into the work's theme.", "\"Las Vegas\u2013which I actually didn't know before we started this piece\u2013used to be a fertile valley,\" Chavkin told me.", "\"It means 'the meadows.'", "And it was totally green, totally lush.", "It was an oasis.", "And that was due to the Springs Reserve, which was the aquifer underground that got destroyed in the Fifties, it was tapped out very, very quickly.\"", "Another exercise took them to the Luxor casino, where each member's assignment was to interview three people: an employee, an apparent non-employee, and then whoever they wanted.", "The intense engagement with the city had a profound impact on the story that the company finally presented in Mission Drift.", "\"The entire way we portray Las Vegas, I can trace it back to a couple interviews we did,\" she recalled.", "\"One was with a guy who worked at the culinary union who turned out to have been born and bred in Las Vegas.", "He was about sixty, as was the head of the office of Cultural Affairs for the city, also in her early sixties.", "Both of them born and raised in Las Vegas.", "Very unusual because Las Vegas was a town of about 300,000 for a long period of time.", "And we heard from both of them almost the exact same thing, which was, this this used to be a small western town.", "This used to be a small town.", "Vegas used to be for the locals.", "It was this phrase we just kept hearing again and again and again.", "And when we asked about the destruction that had been wrought by the mortgage crisis, every single one of them said, 'We think growth is good.", "And we don't think growth is bad, we think it's good that Vegas is growing as a city.", "We just think it grew too fast.'", "So I think the entire thesis of the play, that there is something unsustainable about the marriage of capitalism and the frontier, came from right there.\"", "The one caveat I'd really like to add to all this is that, notwithstanding the influence of thinkers like Naomi Klein on the work, the reason I have so much respect for this play is that the TEAM is so decidedly opposed to easy answers.", "No matter what you ultimately think of Klein's work, she is rather easily caricatured as a leftist taking potshots at ideological enemies.", "The TEAM are not.", "Their entire portrayal of the shape of American capitalism through the stories they tell is deeply sensitive and avoids easy answers or taking potshots.", "Intelligently, the company appears to have jointly come together in an effort to present the shape of our economy\u2013including its disastrous boom-and-bust destructiveness\u2013as a function of something deeper in the American psyche, the longing for creating things, for expanding the frontiers and filling the empty spaces our European ancestors imagined the deserts and plains and mountains of the frontier to be.", "Watching it the first time, I was struck by the thematic similarity between Mission Drift and Cormac McCarthy's remarkable novel Blood Meridian, even as they diverged radically in tone, aesthetics, and politics.", "Mission Drift is, as Chavkin also pointed out, a Western, one that links disparate elements together to pose a vexing problem\u2013perhaps the most vexing problem facing our society today.", "It was the novelist Chad Harbach, lately the lauded author of The Art of Fielding, who posed it to me years ago in a Seattle bar: \"What if growth itself is the problem?\"", "And beyond all of that is the fact that it's just a damn fine story.", "\"It is by far and away the most emotional of any of our works.", "It's, sort of\u2013separate from the politics for a minute\u2013it's just an incredibly emotional story, because we tell the story of capitalism in this country through the lens of a marriage dissolving, and a marriage that you really love,\" Chavkin said.", "\"And now I hope we've done a really good job of allowing you to fall in love with these characters and root for them, in the way you sort of root for this American thing of setting out for the territories.", "And then they just become horrible, and monsters of themselves and lost within that.\"", "Tagged with: apap

What defines American capitalism specifically and why did it become that way?'\"", "That's a hell of subject for a play to tackle, but based on my experience catching it as a work-in-progress at the 2010 Ice Factory Festival\u2026well, while I reserve the right to change my opinion based on the final version going up at COIL, I've previously described it as one of the smartest pieces of political theater I've seen in a while.", "And I'll stand by that for now.", "Fun, engaging, intelligent, non-didactic, and touching in a surprisingly humane way (given the stated subject), it challenges the standard for political theater in America and is one of the shows I'm most excited to see this January.", "The TEAM coalesced around Chavkin back in December 2004, mainly consisting of fellow NYU alums.", "The name was originally based on Chavkin's college nickname (I did not get that story) but, following the advice of an accountant from the Field who said they'd never be able to incorporate a company named \"The Team,\" the company decided to make it an acronym.", "In fact, the first group writing assignment was to come up with what \"team\" stood for, and the combined result was the portentous \"Theater of the Emerging American Moment.\"", "Today, the company has nearly doubled in size, mainly with other NYU-trained artists but also including a couple designers with experience at the SITI Company, owing no doubt to Chavkin's further training at Columbia with Anne Bogart.", "Chavkin serves as artistic director of the company and the director of the company's shows, though, given the collaborative nature of the endeavor, she describes herself as an \"editor,\" bringing together the disparate strands developed through the generative process.", "The TEAM's Rachel Chavkin and Amber Gray, with the Edinburgh Fringe Herald Angel Award they won for \"Mission Drift.\"", "Mission Drift is the sort of play that suffers in description.", "Essentially, it tells the story of two couples.", "The first is Joris and Catalina Rapelje, a fictionalized version of the couple known proverbially as the American Adam and Eve.", "Married in the Netherlands in 1624, the couple moved the North America the same year and ultimately settled in New Amsterdam, where they're credited with giving birth to the first European child in the city; today they count some one million Americans as descendants.", "In Mission Drift, the two exist as perpetual adolescents who set out from New Amsterdam in the Seventeenth Century and follow the westward expansion until 1890, when the Census declared the \"end of the frontier,\" with all supposedly \"vacant\" land in the United States settled.", "The two find themselves left in the city of Las Vegas, where they set out to create a new frontier through capitalist enterprise.", "Joan is a native of present-day Las Vegas, consigned to working odd service sector jobs while engaging in a form of urban archaeology by preserving the ever disposed signage of the strip as a volunteer at the \"Neon Boneyard,\" an amateur museum experiment I was surprised to discover is real.", "(Sadly, apparently, others have, too; according to Chavkin, when the company visited a couple years ago it was still below the radar.", "Recently though she heard from a friend there that the city's Office of Cultural Affairs had learned of it and, unintentionally echoing a line from the play, the friend told Chavkin that they \"looked at the Neon Boneyard and saw dollar signs.\")", "Joan's erstwhile love-interest is a member of the Southern Paiute tribe displaced by development, forced out of his home by the city pursuing the water rights to his family's well.", "What ultimately unfolds is a drama of conflicting interests, with Catalina occupying the role of frontiersman, longing for the possibility of new discovery and in love with power of creation to cultivate the emptiness of the American desert.", "Her path is related to the rapacious capitalism Joris indulges, but whereas he's in love with the accumulation of wealth, she's is driven by a different need, and this conflict ultimately draws them apart.", "For Chris, the Paiute, either way, the city they've built as developers has displaced him (and whoever said the desert was empty, anyway?) and he rebels against the very existence of Las Vegas.", "Joan, a non-aboriginal native of the constructed city, finds herself displaced from her own home through the rapacious development of the Rapeljes (mirroring, of course, the real estate bubble that popped shortly after the TEAM began the project).", "Oh, and Mission Drift is also a musical.", "Of a non-traditional sort.", "With performances and music by the amazing Heather Christian as Miss Atomic.", "Got all that?", "\"I think our endless process\u2013and probably endlessly frustrating process\u2013is one of the things that gives our work the density that I hope people associate with our plays,\" Chavkin told me.", "The TEAM's work is devised through a lengthy and intense process.", "I asked Chavkin to describe the process of developing the final work, and for simplicity's sake, she limited her explanation to the character of Joan, by way of example.", "Beginning at an early workshop at the Brick Theater in 2009, four of the company members were working on different things.", "Jess Almasy was interested in developing a character who believed she was Joan of Arc, envisioning the role as a Wisconsin transplant to Vegas.", "Jill Frutkin was interested in the issue of prostitution, and discovered an organization called Hookers for Jesus, comprised of born-again former prostitutes seeking to help others leave the profession.", "Libby King was fascinated with Hunter S. Thompson.", "And Kristen Sieh was interested in playing a tumbleweed, or desert native.", "The name \"Joan\" stuck, elements of one or another enterprise went into the final character\u2013a Vegas/desert native, volunteer at the Neon Boneyard, and a theme-restaurant waitress\u2013while others went by the wayside or were incorporated into other characters (the Rapeljes became the immigrants to Vegas).", "I knew that an important part of the development had taken place in Las Vegas itself, but when I asked Chavkin who had supported their residency and work on the ground, I got an emphatic \"No one.\"", "\"We fundraised like fucking crazy and we tried for support,\" she said.", "\"And now I'm thrilled to say we just got a grant from the NEA to bring the final work back to Vegas.\"", "Ultimately the company paid out of pocket or relied on donations to spend a month in the city, and in her role as director-cum-editor, Chavkin arranged a tight schedule of \"field trips\" to experience the place in the mornings, followed by intensive work in the theater the University of Las Vegas donated for their use in the afternoons.", "In their field trips, they met with and interviewed members of the local culinary workers' union, to get a sense of the labor reality in Vegas.", "They visited the Atomic Testing Museum (the testing of the bomb also figures apocalyptically in the play).", "Another trip took them to the Springs Preserve, an institution devoted to the history of the desert ecology and sustainable development, which ultimately features prominently into the work's theme.", "\"Las Vegas\u2013which I actually didn't know before we started this piece\u2013used to be a fertile valley,\" Chavkin told me.", "\"It means 'the meadows.'", "And it was totally green, totally lush.", "It was an oasis.", "And that was due to the Springs Reserve, which was the aquifer underground that got destroyed in the Fifties, it was tapped out very, very quickly.\"", "Another exercise took them to the Luxor casino, where each member's assignment was to interview three people: an employee, an apparent non-employee, and then whoever they wanted.", "The intense engagement with the city had a profound impact on the story that the company finally presented in Mission Drift.", "\"The entire way we portray Las Vegas, I can trace it back to a couple interviews we did,\" she recalled.", "\"One was with a guy who worked at the culinary union who turned out to have been born and bred in Las Vegas.", "He was about sixty, as was the head of the office of Cultural Affairs for the city, also in her early sixties.", "Both of them born and raised in Las Vegas.", "Very unusual because Las Vegas was a town of about 300,000 for a long period of time.", "And we heard from both of them almost the exact same thing, which was, this this used to be a small western town.", "This used to be a small town.", "Vegas used to be for the locals.", "It was this phrase we just kept hearing again and again and again.", "And when we asked about the destruction that had been wrought by the mortgage crisis, every single one of them said, 'We think growth is good.", "And we don't think growth is bad, we think it's good that Vegas is growing as a city.", "We just think it grew too fast.'", "So I think the entire thesis of the play, that there is something unsustainable about the marriage of capitalism and the frontier, came from right there.\"", "The one caveat I'd really like to add to all this is that, notwithstanding the influence of thinkers like Naomi Klein on the work, the reason I have so much respect for this play is that the TEAM is so decidedly opposed to easy answers.", "No matter what you ultimately think of Klein's work, she is rather easily caricatured as a leftist taking potshots at ideological enemies.", "The TEAM are not.", "Their entire portrayal of the shape of American capitalism through the stories they tell is deeply sensitive and avoids easy answers or taking potshots.", "Intelligently, the company appears to have jointly come together in an effort to present the shape of our economy\u2013including its disastrous boom-and-bust destructiveness\u2013as a function of something deeper in the American psyche, the longing for creating things, for expanding the frontiers and filling the empty spaces our European ancestors imagined the deserts and plains and mountains of the frontier to be.", "Watching it the first time, I was struck by the thematic similarity between Mission Drift and Cormac McCarthy's remarkable novel Blood Meridian, even as they diverged radically in tone, aesthetics, and politics.", "Mission Drift is, as Chavkin also pointed out, a Western, one that links disparate elements together to pose a vexing problem\u2013perhaps the most vexing problem facing our society today.", "It was the novelist Chad Harbach, lately the lauded author of The Art of Fielding, who posed it to me years ago in a Seattle bar: \"What if growth itself is the problem?\"", "And beyond all of that is the fact that it's just a damn fine story.", "\"It is by far and away the most emotional of any of our works.", "It's, sort of\u2013separate from the politics for a minute\u2013it's just an incredibly emotional story, because we tell the story of capitalism in this country through the lens of a marriage dissolving, and a marriage that you really love,\" Chavkin said.", "\"And now I hope we've done a really good job of allowing you to fall in love with these characters and root for them, in the way you sort of root for this American thing of setting out for the territories.", "And then they just become horrible, and monsters of themselves and lost within that.\"", "Tagged with: apap

What defines American capitalism specifically and why did it become that way?'\"", "That's a hell of subject for a play to tackle, but based on my experience catching it as a work-in-progress at the 2010 Ice Factory Festival\u2026well, while I reserve the right to change my opinion based on the final version going up at COIL, I've previously described it as one of the smartest pieces of political theater I've seen in a while.", "And I'll stand by that for now.", "Fun, engaging, intelligent, non-didactic, and touching in a surprisingly humane way (given the stated subject), it challenges the standard for political theater in America and is one of the shows I'm most excited to see this January.", "The TEAM coalesced around Chavkin back in December 2004, mainly consisting of fellow NYU alums.", "The name was originally based on Chavkin's college nickname (I did not get that story) but, following the advice of an accountant from the Field who said they'd never be able to incorporate a company named \"The Team,\" the company decided to make it an acronym.", "In fact, the first group writing assignment was to come up with what \"team\" stood for, and the combined result was the portentous \"Theater of the Emerging American Moment.\"", "Today, the company has nearly doubled in size, mainly with other NYU-trained artists but also including a couple designers with experience at the SITI Company, owing no doubt to Chavkin's further training at Columbia with Anne Bogart.", "Chavkin serves as artistic director of the company and the director of the company's shows, though, given the collaborative nature of the endeavor, she describes herself as an \"editor,\" bringing together the disparate strands developed through the generative process.", "The TEAM's Rachel Chavkin and Amber Gray, with the Edinburgh Fringe Herald Angel Award they won for \"Mission Drift.\"", "Mission Drift is the sort of play that suffers in description.", "Essentially, it tells the story of two couples.", "The first is Joris and Catalina Rapelje, a fictionalized version of the couple known proverbially as the American Adam and Eve.", "Married in the Netherlands in 1624, the couple moved the North America the same year and ultimately settled in New Amsterdam, where they're credited with giving birth to the first European child in the city; today they count some one million Americans as descendants.", "In Mission Drift, the two exist as perpetual adolescents who set out from New Amsterdam in the Seventeenth Century and follow the westward expansion until 1890, when the Census declared the \"end of the frontier,\" with all supposedly \"vacant\" land in the United States settled.", "The two find themselves left in the city of Las Vegas, where they set out to create a new frontier through capitalist enterprise.", "Joan is a native of present-day Las Vegas, consigned to working odd service sector jobs while engaging in a form of urban archaeology by preserving the ever disposed signage of the strip as a volunteer at the \"Neon Boneyard,\" an amateur museum experiment I was surprised to discover is real.", "(Sadly, apparently, others have, too; according to Chavkin, when the company visited a couple years ago it was still below the radar.", "Recently though she heard from a friend there that the city's Office of Cultural Affairs had learned of it and, unintentionally echoing a line from the play, the friend told Chavkin that they \"looked at the Neon Boneyard and saw dollar signs.\")", "Joan's erstwhile love-interest is a member of the Southern Paiute tribe displaced by development, forced out of his home by the city pursuing the water rights to his family's well.", "What ultimately unfolds is a drama of conflicting interests, with Catalina occupying the role of frontiersman, longing for the possibility of new discovery and in love with power of creation to cultivate the emptiness of the American desert.", "Her path is related to the rapacious capitalism Joris indulges, but whereas he's in love with the accumulation of wealth, she's is driven by a different need, and this conflict ultimately draws them apart.", "For Chris, the Paiute, either way, the city they've built as developers has displaced him (and whoever said the desert was empty, anyway?) and he rebels against the very existence of Las Vegas.", "Joan, a non-aboriginal native of the constructed city, finds herself displaced from her own home through the rapacious development of the Rapeljes (mirroring, of course, the real estate bubble that popped shortly after the TEAM began the project).", "Oh, and Mission Drift is also a musical.", "Of a non-traditional sort.", "With performances and music by the amazing Heather Christian as Miss Atomic.", "Got all that?", "\"I think our endless process\u2013and probably endlessly frustrating process\u2013is one of the things that gives our work the density that I hope people associate with our plays,\" Chavkin told me.", "The TEAM's work is devised through a lengthy and intense process.", "I asked Chavkin to describe the process of developing the final work, and for simplicity's sake, she limited her explanation to the character of Joan, by way of example.", "Beginning at an early workshop at the Brick Theater in 2009, four of the company members were working on different things.", "Jess Almasy was interested in developing a character who believed she was Joan of Arc, envisioning the role as a Wisconsin transplant to Vegas.", "Jill Frutkin was interested in the issue of prostitution, and discovered an organization called Hookers for Jesus, comprised of born-again former prostitutes seeking to help others leave the profession.", "Libby King was fascinated with Hunter S. Thompson.", "And Kristen Sieh was interested in playing a tumbleweed, or desert native.", "The name \"Joan\" stuck, elements of one or another enterprise went into the final character\u2013a Vegas/desert native, volunteer at the Neon Boneyard, and a theme-restaurant waitress\u2013while others went by the wayside or were incorporated into other characters (the Rapeljes became the immigrants to Vegas).", "I knew that an important part of the development had taken place in Las Vegas itself, but when I asked Chavkin who had supported their residency and work on the ground, I got an emphatic \"No one.\"", "\"We fundraised like fucking crazy and we tried for support,\" she said.", "\"And now I'm thrilled to say we just got a grant from the NEA to bring the final work back to Vegas.\"", "Ultimately the company paid out of pocket or relied on donations to spend a month in the city, and in her role as director-cum-editor, Chavkin arranged a tight schedule of \"field trips\" to experience the place in the mornings, followed by intensive work in the theater the University of Las Vegas donated for their use in the afternoons.", "In their field trips, they met with and interviewed members of the local culinary workers' union, to get a sense of the labor reality in Vegas.", "They visited the Atomic Testing Museum (the testing of the bomb also figures apocalyptically in the play).", "Another trip took them to the Springs Preserve, an institution devoted to the history of the desert ecology and sustainable development, which ultimately features prominently into the work's theme.", "\"Las Vegas\u2013which I actually didn't know before we started this piece\u2013used to be a fertile valley,\" Chavkin told me.", "\"It means 'the meadows.'", "And it was totally green, totally lush.", "It was an oasis.", "And that was due to the Springs Reserve, which was the aquifer underground that got destroyed in the Fifties, it was tapped out very, very quickly.\"", "Another exercise took them to the Luxor casino, where each member's assignment was to interview three people: an employee, an apparent non-employee, and then whoever they wanted.", "The intense engagement with the city had a profound impact on the story that the company finally presented in Mission Drift.", "\"The entire way we portray Las Vegas, I can trace it back to a couple interviews we did,\" she recalled.", "\"One was with a guy who worked at the culinary union who turned out to have been born and bred in Las Vegas.", "He was about sixty, as was the head of the office of Cultural Affairs for the city, also in her early sixties.", "Both of them born and raised in Las Vegas.", "Very unusual because Las Vegas was a town of about 300,000 for a long period of time.", "And we heard from both of them almost the exact same thing, which was, this this used to be a small western town.", "This used to be a small town.", "Vegas used to be for the locals.", "It was this phrase we just kept hearing again and again and again.", "And when we asked about the destruction that had been wrought by the mortgage crisis, every single one of them said, 'We think growth is good.", "And we don't think growth is bad, we think it's good that Vegas is growing as a city.", "We just think it grew too fast.'", "So I think the entire thesis of the play, that there is something unsustainable about the marriage of capitalism and the frontier, came from right there.\"", "The one caveat I'd really like to add to all this is that, notwithstanding the influence of thinkers like Naomi Klein on the work, the reason I have so much respect for this play is that the TEAM is so decidedly opposed to easy answers.", "No matter what you ultimately think of Klein's work, she is rather easily caricatured as a leftist taking potshots at ideological enemies.", "The TEAM are not.", "Their entire portrayal of the shape of American capitalism through the stories they tell is deeply sensitive and avoids easy answers or taking potshots.", "Intelligently, the company appears to have jointly come together in an effort to present the shape of our economy\u2013including its disastrous boom-and-bust destructiveness\u2013as a function of something deeper in the American psyche, the longing for creating things, for expanding the frontiers and filling the empty spaces our European ancestors imagined the deserts and plains and mountains of the frontier to be.", "Watching it the first time, I was struck by the thematic similarity between Mission Drift and Cormac McCarthy's remarkable novel Blood Meridian, even as they diverged radically in tone, aesthetics, and politics.", "Mission Drift is, as Chavkin also pointed out, a Western, one that links disparate elements together to pose a vexing problem\u2013perhaps the most vexing problem facing our society today.", "It was the novelist Chad Harbach, lately the lauded author of The Art of Fielding, who posed it to me years ago in a Seattle bar: \"What if growth itself is the problem?\"", "And beyond all of that is the fact that it's just a damn fine story.", "\"It is by far and away the most emotional of any of our works.", "It's, sort of\u2013separate from the politics for a minute\u2013it's just an incredibly emotional story, because we tell the story of capitalism in this country through the lens of a marriage dissolving, and a marriage that you really love,\" Chavkin said.", "\"And now I hope we've done a really good job of allowing you to fall in love with these characters and root for them, in the way you sort of root for this American thing of setting out for the territories.", "And then they just become horrible, and monsters of themselves and lost within that.\"", "Tagged with: apap

grounds of race in certain areas of British life, particularly housing, where many local authorities had been refusing to provide houses for immigrant families until they had lived in the country for a certain number of years.\n One feature of his speech was the extensive quotation of a letter he received detailing the experiences of one of his constituents in Wolverhampton. The writer described the fate of an elderly woman who was supposedly the last White person living in her street. She had repeatedly refused applications from non-Whites requiring rooms-to-let, which resulted in her being called a \"racialist\" outside her home and receiving \"excreta\" through her letterbox. \n When Heath telephoned Margaret Thatcher to tell her that he was going to sack Powell, she responded: \"I really thought that it was better to let things cool down for the present rather than heighten the crisis\". Heath sacked Powell from his Shadow Cabinet the day after the speech and he never held another senior political post again. Powell received almost 120,000 (predominantly positive) letters and a Gallup poll at the end of April showed that 74 per cent of those asked agreed with his speech and only 15 per cent disagreed, with 11 per cent unsure. One poll concluded that between 61 and 73 per cent disagreed with Heath sacking Powell. According to George L. Bernstein, many British people felt that Powell \"was the first British politician who was actually listening to them\". After \"The Sunday Times\" branded his speeches \"racialist\", Powell sued it for libel. Powell withdrew when he was required to provide the letters he had quoted from."}} {"label": "supported", "supporting_sentences": [[141], [56, 141], [0, 141]], "claim": "James Hartley Jones' name

In 1761 Herbert's descendant Sir John Perrot sold Woodstock to Admiral Thomas Tucker. The manor is mentioned many times in respect of indentures, grants and tenancies in the 17th and 18th centuries. In 1717 Woodstock mill was leased to yeoman Lewis John. \n Richard Fenton, in 1811, recorded passing through Woodstock, stating that the name came from an extensive manor owned in early times by Huko Hywel, whose daughters married Normans, and that the manor eventually came into the possession of the Perrott family.

In 1761 Herbert's descendant Sir John Perrot sold Woodstock to Admiral Thomas Tucker. The manor is mentioned many times in respect of indentures, grants and tenancies in the 17th and 18th centuries. In 1717 Woodstock mill was leased to yeoman Lewis John. \n Richard Fenton, in 1811, recorded passing through Woodstock, stating that the name came from an extensive manor owned in early times by Huko Hywel, whose daughters married Normans, and that the manor eventually came into the possession of the Perrott family.

earthwork containing the possible traces of a building within, indicating habitation in prehistoric times. \n Woodstock has been described as a modern village but the manor of Woodstock (along with that of Ambleston) was bequeathed by Sir James Perrot, son of Sir John Perrot to Francis Perrot, and then in 1642 to his nephew Herbert. In 1761 Herbert's descendant Sir John Perrot sold Woodstock to Admiral Thomas Tucker. The manor is mentioned many times in respect of indentures, grants and tenancies in the 17th and 18th centuries. In 1717 Woodstock mill was leased to yeoman Lewis John. \n Richard Fenton, in 1811, recorded passing through Woodstock, stating that the name came from an extensive manor owned in early times by Huko Hywel, whose daughters married Normans, and that the manor eventually came into the possession of the Perrott family. James Hartley Jones' name appears on the Ambleston War Memorial. James Hartley Jones is recorded as having enlisted at Woodstock."}} {"label": "supported", "supporting_sentences": [[162], [145, 148]], "claim": "James Hartley Jones enlisted early in World War I.",

In 1761 Herbert's descendant Sir John Perrot sold Woodstock to Admiral Thomas Tucker. The manor is mentioned many times in respect of indentures, grants and tenancies in the 17th and 18th centuries. In 1717 Woodstock mill was leased to yeoman Lewis John. \n Richard Fenton, in 1811, recorded passing through Woodstock, stating that the name came from an extensive manor owned in early times by Huko Hywel, whose daughters married Normans, and that the manor eventually came into the possession of the Perrott family.

furthering Asia's grief and separating her even more from her husband.", "In 1874, she began writing a biography of her misguided brother, John Wilkes.", "It contained her memories of his younger days and painted a far more human picture of the man who assassinated Lincoln.", "She knew, however, that this sympathetic view of her brother would never be tolerated during her lifetime and so put the biography aside to be published after her death.", "In the 1880's Asia finished a book entitled, The Elder and Younger Booth, which detailed the careers of her father, Junius, and her brother,

in the family plot in Baltimore.", "This was done and Asia Booth now lies with her parents and siblings in Green Mount Cemetery.", "Clarke would later die in England and is buried there.", "Two of Asia and Clarke's children followed the family tradition and became actors.", "Creston and Wilfred Clarke both had decent careers upon the American stage and vaudeville.", "Asia's secret biography of her brother was given to a family friend upon her death due to her fears that Clarke would destroy it.", "It was not published until 1938, sixty years after Asia's death.", "Though more a collection of Asia's pleasant memories of her brother than a true biography, the book provides a unique and much needed view of John Wilkes' early life and interactions with his family.", "While Asia Booth never

Asia grew very close to her younger brother, John Wilkes.", "The two would often play, with Asia acting as Wilkes' first acting teacher by helping him run lines and practice his elocution.", "Asia was described by those who knew her as, \"beautiful\", \"educated and mathematical\", and \"strong-minded\".", "She was courted for years by a family friend named John Sleeper.", "He, like the Booth sons, wanted a career in the theater.", "In order to avoid the connotation that a performance by him would put an audience to sleep, he changed his named to John Sleeper Clarke.", "The two married in 1859.", "At first, life for the two was good.", "Clarke and Asia's rising acting brother, Edwin, were close business partners and friends.", "Asia and Clarke had three children by 1865, all of whom were all named after various members of the Booth family.", "The eldest, Asia Dorothy, named for her mother, was nicknamed \"Dollie\".", "Their next child, Edwin Booth Clarke, was named for his uncle and went by the nickname \"Teddy\".", "Another daughter Adrienne, received her name from Asia's youngest brother, Joseph Adrian.", "The assassination of Abraham Lincoln by the hands of her favorite brother, John Wilkes, was a massive blow to Asia and her family.", "John Sleeper Clarke was imprisoned for a time and pregnant Asia was put under house arrest.", "Hoping to do something to redeem the family name, Asia set her sights on a long forgotten project she had once started: writing a biography about her father.", "She plunged back into her work, attempting to forget the tragedy that had befallen her.", "In August of 1865, she gave birth to twins, Creston and Lillian.", "By December she had finished her biography of Junius Sr. and it was published under the title, Booth memorials : Passages, incidents, and anecdotes in the life of Junius Brutus Booth (the Elder) by His Daughter.", "In 1867, another son, Wilfred, was born.", "Despite the passage of time, Asia still felt the stigma of her brother's crime and Clarke discovered he had strong star power on the London stage.", "Asia agreed to move the family there, despite their strained relationship.", "She hoped that England would give her the fresh air and foreign setting she needed to start over.", "Asia and her children depart America in 1868.", "Asia wrote that she expected to be gone for two or three years.", "In fact, she would never see her homeland again.", "Life in England lost its appeal fairly quickly to Asia and her relationship with Clarke continued to sour.", "The pair had three more children in England, all of which died, furthering Asia's grief and separating her even more from her husband.", "In 1874, she began writing a biography of her misguided brother, John Wilkes.", "It contained her memories of his younger days and painted a far more human picture of the man who assassinated Lincoln.", "She knew, however, that this sympathetic view of her brother would never be tolerated during her lifetime and so put the biography aside to be published after her death.", "In the 1880's Asia finished a book entitled, The Elder and Younger Booth, which detailed the careers of her father, Junius, and her brother, Edwin.", "By this point Clarke was making regular trips back to the States to perform with Asia being left behind in England.", "She referred to Clarke as \"a bachelor in all but name\" and described his hatred for her and the Booth name.", "Asia Booth Clarke died on May 16, 1888 at the age of 52.", "Before her death she made Clarke promise to return her body to America so that she could be buried in the family plot in Baltimore.", "This was done and Asia Booth now lies with her parents and siblings in Green Mount Cemetery.", "Clarke would later die in England and is buried there.", "Two of Asia and Clarke's children followed the family tradition and became actors.", "Creston and Wilfred Clarke both had decent careers upon the American stage and vaudeville.", "Asia's secret biography of her brother was given to a family friend upon her death due to her fears that Clarke would destroy it.", "It was not published until 1938, sixty years after Asia's death.", "Though more a collection of Asia's pleasant memories of her brother than a true biography, the book provides a unique and much needed view of John Wilkes' early life and interactions with his family.", "While Asia Booth never found fame (or infamy) like her other siblings, she remains a valuable chronicler of their achievements.", "## Click on a picture below to see the larger image and a

Mary Ann Holmes.", "She was born on the Booth family farm in Harford County, MD, on November 20, 1835.", "While growing up in the secluded wilderness of their Tudor Hall home, Asia grew very close to her younger brother, John Wilkes.", "The two would often play, with Asia acting as Wilkes' first acting teacher by helping him run lines and practice his elocution.", "Asia was described by those who knew her as, \"beautiful\", \"educated and mathematical\", and \"strong-minded\".", "She was courted for years by a family friend named John Sleeper.", "He, like the Booth sons, wanted a career in the theater.", "In order to avoid the connotation that a performance by him would put an audience to sleep, he changed his named to John Sleeper Clarke.", "The two married in 1859.", "At first, life for the two was good.", "Clarke and Asia's rising acting brother, Edwin, were close business partners and friends.", "Asia and Clarke had three children by 1865, all of whom were all named after various members of the Booth family.", "The eldest, Asia Dorothy, named for her mother, was nicknamed \"Dollie\".", "Their next child, Edwin Booth Clarke, was named for his uncle and went by the nickname \"Teddy\".", "Another daughter Adrienne, received her name from Asia's youngest brother, Joseph Adrian.", "The assassination of Abraham Lincoln by the hands of her favorite brother, John Wilkes, was a massive blow to Asia and her family.", "John Sleeper Clarke was imprisoned for a time and pregnant Asia was put under house arrest.", "Hoping to do something to redeem the family name, Asia set her sights on a long forgotten project she had once started: writing a biography about her father.", "She plunged back into her work, attempting to forget the tragedy that had befallen her.", "In August of 1865, she gave birth to twins, Creston and Lillian.", "By December she had finished her biography of Junius Sr. and it was published under the title, Booth memorials : Passages, incidents, and anecdotes in the life of Junius Brutus Booth (the Elder) by His Daughter.", "In 1867, another son, Wilfred, was born.", "Despite the passage of time, Asia still felt the stigma of her brother's crime and Clarke discovered he had strong star power on the London stage.", "Asia agreed to move the family there, despite their strained relationship.", "She hoped that England would give her the fresh air and foreign setting she needed to start over.", "Asia and her children depart America in 1868.", "Asia wrote that she expected to be gone for two or three years.", "In fact, she would never see her homeland again.", "Life in England lost its appeal fairly quickly to Asia and her relationship with Clarke continued to sour.", "The pair had three more children in England, all of which died, furthering Asia's grief and separating her even more from her husband.", "In 1874, she began writing a biography of her misguided brother, John Wilkes.", "It contained her memories of his younger days and painted a far more human picture of the man who assassinated Lincoln.", "She knew, however, that this sympathetic view of her brother would never be tolerated during her lifetime and so put the biography aside to be published after her death.", "In the 1880's Asia finished a book entitled, The Elder and Younger Booth, which detailed the careers of her father, Junius, and her brother, Edwin.", "By this point Clarke was making regular trips back to the States to perform with Asia being left behind in England.", "She referred to Clarke as \"a bachelor in all but name\" and described his hatred for her and the Booth name.", "Asia Booth Clarke died on May 16, 1888 at the age of 52.", "Before her death she made Clarke promise to return her body to America so that she could be buried in the family plot in Baltimore.", "This was done and Asia Booth now lies with her parents and siblings in Green Mount Cemetery.", "Clarke would later die in England and is buried there.", "Two of Asia and Clarke's children followed the family tradition and became actors.", "Creston and Wilfred Clarke both had decent careers upon the American stage and vaudeville.", "Asia's secret biography of her brother was given to a family friend upon her death due to her fears that Clarke would destroy it.", "It was not published until 1938, sixty years after Asia's death.", "Though more a collection of Asia's pleasant memories of her brother than a true biography, the book provides a unique and much needed view of John Wilkes' early life and interactions with his family.", "While Asia Booth never found fame (or infamy) like her other siblings, she remains a valuable chronicler of their achievements.", "## Click on a picture below to see the larger image and a description", "Back to the Booth

This Christological debate was the latest development in disagreements that began following the First Council of Nicaea in 325, and were intensified following the Council of Chalcedon in 451. The Monothelite position was developed as a compromise between the dyophysitists and the miaphysists, who believed dyophysitism is conceptually indistinguishable from Nestorianism. The Monothelites adhered to the Chalcedonian definition of the hypostatic union: that two natures, one divine and one human, were united in the person of Christ. However, they went on to say that Christ had only a divine will and no human will (Monothelite is derived from the Greek for \"one will\"), which led some to charge them with Apollinarian monophysitism. \n The Monothelite position was promulgated by Patriarch Sergius I of Constantinople and by Maximus' friend and successor as the Abbot of Chrysopolis, Pyrrhus. Following the death of Sergius in 638, Pyrrhus succeeded him as Patriarch, but was shortly deposed owing to political circumstances. During Pyrrhus' exile from Constantinople, Maximus and the deposed Patriarch held a public debate on the issue of Monothelitism. In the debate, which was held in the presence of many North African bishops, Maximus took the position that Jesus possessed both a human and a divine will.

This Christological debate was the latest development in disagreements that began following the First Council of Nicaea in 325, and were intensified following the Council of Chalcedon in 451. The Monothelite position was developed as a compromise between the dyophysitists and the miaphysists, who believed dyophysitism is conceptually indistinguishable from Nestorianism. The Monothelites adhered to the Chalcedonian definition of the hypostatic union: that two natures, one divine and one human, were united in the person of Christ. However, they went on to say that Christ had only a divine will and no human will (Monothelite is derived from the Greek for \"one will\"), which led some to charge them with Apollinarian monophysitism. \n The Monothelite position was promulgated by Patriarch Sergius I of Constantinople and by Maximus' friend and successor as the Abbot of Chrysopolis, Pyrrhus. Following the death of Sergius in 638, Pyrrhus succeeded him as Patriarch, but was shortly deposed owing to political circumstances. During Pyrrhus' exile from Constantinople, Maximus and the deposed Patriarch held a public debate on the issue of Monothelitism. In the debate, which was held in the presence of many North African bishops, Maximus took the position that Jesus possessed both a human and a divine will. The result of the debate was that Pyrrhus admitted the error of the Monothelite position."}} {"label": "supported", "supporting_sentences": [[31], [49], [31, 49]], "claim": "The collapse has been seen

to.", "The route is the 747 Express bus, which finally provides a direct, non-stop link between downtown and Dorval Pierre Elliott Trudeau International Airport.", "It replaces an awkward public transit travel itinerary that involved taking the metro to Lionel-Groulx, hopping on the 211 or 221 and squeezing in with all the West Island kids, then either waiting half an hour at the Dorval train station or walking across the entire airport parking lot to get to the terminal.", "It also replaces La Qu\u00e9b\u00e9coise's A\u00e9robus shuttle service between the bus station and the airport that used to run every half hour and cost $16.", "(And that was already much cheaper than the flat-rate $38 for a cab from downtown to the airport.)", "More details from Cyberpresse, The Gazette, CTV, CBC, Rue Frontenac, Metro, the STM's press release, the airport's press release (PDF), or the Planibus with route and schedule (PDF).", "The route enters service on Monday, March 29, and will be the STM's first 24-hours-a-day, 365-days-a-year bus service.", "#### The fares", "Probably the most confusing thing about this bus will be the fare structure.", "Even though this is an STM bus run by the STM and accepting STM passes, you won't be able to pay a standard single fare or use a single-fare ticket to get on (which, because this is a trip into and out of town, is what many people using it would want to do).", "Instead, the single-fare price is set at $7 (still less than half the old airport express), and in exchange you're given a one-day pass to use the entire STM network.", "Or you could just buy a one-day tourist pass, which is accepted on the bus and also costs $7.", "All unlimited-use passes (tourist passes, weekly passes, monthly passes) are accepted on the bus at no extra charge.", "I guess the STM is trying to get some money out of tourists with this, but it just seems unnecessarily confusing.", "Many tourists will want the tourist pass anyway when they're coming in to town, so it won't make much of a difference for them.", "Those heading out of town, meanwhile, will have no use for a one-day pass once they're on a plane.", "Expect drivers of these buses to have to exercise a lot of patience explaining the fare structure.", "The STM says transit passes will be on sale in the airport, so those who want a three-day pass or weekly pass will have that option before they get on the bus.", "#### The stops", "Nine stops westbound and 10 stops eastbound, including the two terminuses.", "Going toward the airport:", "Station Centrale bus terminal (inside the terminal)", "Ren\u00e9-L\u00e9vesque and St-Laurent (Chinatown)", "Ren\u00e9-L\u00e9vesque and Bleury", "Ren\u00e9-L\u00e9vesque and Mansfield (Place Ville Marie, Central Station)",

hour overnight between 1am and 5am", "Depending on the time of day and traffic conditions, the entire trip from one terminus to the other is expected to take between 35 and 50 minutes (about half that for trips between the airport and Lionel-Groulx).", "It's unclear at this point how this bus will affect other STM buses, like the 211 and 221 that shuttle between Lionel-Groulx and the Dorval train station, and the 204 bus that stops at the airport terminal.", "#### The bus", "The bus itself will be special, though very familiar to STM users.", "The outer design will have an airplane-chevron logo and the bus number painted on the body.", "Inside, the bus will be equipped with three luggage racks (one above each front wheel, and one just opposite the rear door), each with two shelves.", "This means the bus will have fewer seats than a standard bus of its size, but the ride will be more convenient for people with heavy bags.", "The STM has modified eight buses for this route.", "With a route length of just under an hour and a minimum headway of 20 minutes, that would mean six buses in service during rush hour with two spares.", "#### The fallout", "Despite its confusing fare structure, since the bus is replacing a service already in place, and because people have been demanding better airport shuttle service for years, the demand is clearly there.", "The bus might not see dozens of passengers for every trip, but it won't be empty all the time either.", "The STM estimates the bus will attract between 1,000 and 2,500 riders daily.", "With about 100 departures a day, this would mean about 10-25 people per bus on average.", "As the ADM points out, this service will also be useful for airport employees who work at odd hours.", "I've seen a few of them half asleep on the 356 night bus (which stops at the airport) trying not to get thrown up on.", "Those employees aren't going to spend $16 one-way for the A\u00e9robus, but they will take the STM's express bus if it comes with their monthly pass.", "This service also doesn't preclude the creation of a train link between downtown and the airport.", "Both the STM and the airport still believe such a rail service is essential.", "But this bus will help bridge the gap until the rail dream becomes a reality.", "#### The scandal", "One group has already called foul in all this: taxi drivers.", "They're calling this a \"catastrophe\" for the industry, and complaining that they weren't consulted about it.", "Some are suggesting that the STM's move should be considered illegal competition from a government agency with the private sector.", "Not that I don't have sympathy for taxi drivers, but this just exemplifies the fact that some industry somewhere will have a problem with just about anything the government does, especially when it makes our lives easier and saves us money.", "(UPDATE March 17: Taxi drivers took their protest to city hall, though it's highly unlikely they'll be able to get anything changed at this point)", "With that caveat in mind, I'd rate this service an about-fscking-time.", "UPDATE (March 29): The service launched at midnight.", "CTV's Herb Luft talked to some of the first

will be equipped with three luggage racks (one above each front wheel, and one just opposite the rear door), each with two shelves.", "This means the bus will have fewer seats than a standard bus of

The public submitted 1,006 entries, from which five finalists were chosen in 2016. In an online poll of over 6,000 people, a design called \"Sunrise Over the Lake\" received the highest rating of the five.
