The_Lion_King
The Lion King is a 1994 American animated epic musical film , produced by Walt Disney Feature Animation and released by Walt Disney Pictures . It is the 32nd Disney animated feature film . The story takes place in a kingdom of lions in Africa and was influenced by William Shakespeare 's Hamlet . The film was produced during a period known as the Disney Renaissance . The Lion King was directed by Roger Allers and Rob Minkoff , produced by Don Hahn , and has a screenplay credited to Irene Mecchi , Jonathan Roberts , and Linda Woolverton . Its original songs were written by composer Elton John and lyricist Tim Rice , and original scores were written by Hans Zimmer . The film features an ensemble voice cast that includes Matthew Broderick , James Earl Jones , Jeremy Irons , Jonathan Taylor Thomas , Moira Kelly , Nathan Lane , Ernie Sabella , Rowan Atkinson , Robert Guillaume , Madge Sinclair , Whoopi Goldberg , Cheech Marin , and Jim Cummings . The Lion King tells the story of Simba , a young lion who is to succeed his father , Mufasa , as King of the Pride Lands ; however , after Simba 's uncle Scar murders Mufasa , Simba is manipulated into thinking he was responsible and flees into exile . Upon maturation living with two wastrels , Simba is given some valuable perspective from his childhood friend , Nala , and his shaman , Rafiki , before returning to challenge Scar to end his tyranny and take his place in the Circle of Life as the rightful King . Development of The Lion King began in 1988 during a meeting between Jeffrey Katzenberg , Roy E. Disney , and Peter Schneider while promoting Oliver & Company in Europe . Thomas Disch wrote a film treatment , and Woolverton developed the first scripts while George Scribner was signed on as director , being later joined by Allers . Production began in 1991 concurrently with Pocahontas , which wound up attracting most of Disney 's top animators . Some time after the staff traveled to Hell 's Gate National Park in Kenya to research on the film 's setting and animals , Scribner left production disagreeing with the decision to turn the film into a musical and was replaced by Minkoff . When Hahn joined the project , he was dissatisfied with the script and the story was promptly rewritten . Nearly 20 minutes of animation sequences were produced at Disney-MGM Studios in Florida . Computer animation was also used in several scenes , most notably in the wildebeest stampede sequence . The Lion King was released on June 15 , 1994 , to a positive reaction from critics , who praised the film for its music , story , and animation ; it finished its theatrical run as the highest-grossing release of 1994 and the second highest-grossing film of all time . The Lion King garnered two Academy Awards for its achievement in music and the Golden Globe Award for Best Motion Picture -- Musical or Comedy . The film has led to many derived works , such as a Broadway adaptation ; two direct-to-video follow-ups -- the sequel , The Lion King II : Simba 's Pride -LRB- 1998 -RRB- , and the prequel/parallel , The Lion King 1 1/2 -LRB- 2004 -RRB- -- ; two television series , Timon and Pumbaa and The Lion Guard ; and a 3D re-release , in 2011 . In 2016 , the film was selected for preservation in the United States National Film Registry by the Library of Congress as being `` culturally , historically , or aesthetically significant '' . A CGI live-action remake of the film is scheduled for a July 19 , 2019 release in the United States .

The_Who
The Who are an English rock band that formed in 1964 . Their classic line-up consisted of lead singer Roger Daltrey , guitarist and singer Pete Townshend , bass guitarist John Entwistle , and drummer Keith Moon . They are considered one of the most influential rock bands of the 20th century , selling over 100 million records worldwide and holding a reputation for their live shows and studio work . The Who developed from an earlier group , the Detours , and established themselves as part of the pop art and mod movements , featuring auto-destructive art by destroying guitars and drums on stage . Their first single as the Who , `` I Ca n't Explain '' , reached the UK top ten , followed by a string of singles including `` My Generation '' , `` Substitute '' and `` Happy Jack '' . In 1967 , they performed at the Monterey Pop Festival and released the US top ten single `` I Can See for Miles '' , while touring extensively . The group 's fourth album , 1969 's rock opera Tommy , included the single `` Pinball Wizard '' and was a critical and commercial success . Live appearances at Woodstock and the Isle of Wight Festival , along with the live album Live at Leeds , cemented their reputation as a respected rock act . With their success came increased pressure on lead songwriter and visionary Townshend , and the follow-up to Tommy , Lifehouse , was abandoned . Songs from the project made up 1971 's Who 's Next , which included the hit `` Wo n't Get Fooled Again '' . The group released the album Quadrophenia in 1973 as a celebration of their mod roots , and oversaw the film adaptation of Tommy in 1975 . They continued to tour to large audiences before semi-retiring from live performances at the end of 1976 . The release of Who Are You in 1978 was overshadowed by the death of Moon shortly after . Kenney Jones replaced Moon and the group resumed activity , releasing a film adaptation of Quadrophenia and the retrospective documentary The Kids Are Alright . After Townshend became weary of touring , the group split in 1982 . The Who occasionally re-formed for live appearances such as Live Aid in 1985 , a 25th anniversary tour in 1989 and a tour of Quadrophenia in 1996 -- 1997 . They resumed regular touring in 1999 , with drummer Zak Starkey . After Entwistle 's death in 2002 , plans for a new album were delayed . Townshend and Daltrey continued as the Who , releasing Endless Wire in 2006 , and continued to play live regularly . The Who 's major contributions to rock music include the development of the Marshall stack , large PA systems , use of the synthesizer , Entwistle and Moon 's lead playing styles , Townshend 's feedback and power chord guitar technique , and the development of the rock opera . They are cited as an influence by hard rock , punk rock and mod bands , and their songs still receive regular exposure .

The_Doctor_-LRB-Doctor_Who-RRB-
The Doctor is the title character and protagonist in the long-running BBC science fiction television programme Doctor Who . The character has also been featured in one made-for-television film , and a vast range of spin-off novels , audio dramas and comic strips . In the programme , `` the Doctor '' is the alias assumed by a centuries-old alien -- a Time Lord from the planet Gallifrey -- who travels through space and time in his TARDIS , frequently with companions . Since the show 's inception in 1963 , the character has been portrayed by twelve lead actors . The transition to each succeeding actor is explained within the show 's narrative through the plot device of `` regeneration '' , a biological function of his race that allows their change of cellular structure and appearance with recovery following a potentially fatal injury . The incumbent Doctor is the Twelfth Doctor , played by Peter Capaldi , who succeeded Matt Smith in the role in the 2013 Christmas special `` The Time of the Doctor '' after he was granted a new `` cycle '' of regenerations by the Time Lords . The War Doctor and an aborted regeneration are counted in his previous cycle of twelve regenerations . A number of other actors have played the character in stage and audio plays , as well as in various film and television productions . The character has been generally well received by the public , with his enduring popularity leading The Daily Telegraph to dub him `` Britain 's favourite alien '' . On 30 January 2017 , Capaldi confirmed that the tenth series would be his last .

Third_baseman
A third baseman , abbreviated 3B , is the player in baseball whose responsibility is to defend the area nearest to third base -- the third of four bases a baserunner must touch in succession to score a run . In the scoring system used to record defensive plays , the third baseman is assigned the number ' 5 ' . The third baseman requires good reflexes in reacting to batted balls , as he or she is often the closest infielder -LRB- roughly 90 -- 120 feet -RRB- to the batter . The third base position requires a strong and accurate arm , as the third baseman often makes long throws to first base . The third baseman sometimes must throw quickly to second base in time to start a double play . The third baseman must also field fly balls in fair and foul territory . Third base is known as the `` hot corner '' , because the third baseman is relatively close to the batter and most right-handed hitters tend to hit the ball hard in this direction . A third baseman must possess good hand-eye coordination and quick reactions in order to catch hard line drives sometimes in excess of 125 miles per hour -LRB- 201 km/h -RRB- . Third basemen often must begin in a position even closer to the batter if a bunt is expected , creating a hazard if the ball is instead hit sharply . As with middle infielders , right-handed throwing players are standard at the position because they do not need to turn their body before throwing across the infield to first base . Mike Squires , who played fourteen games at third base in 1982 and 1983 , is a very rare example of a third baseman who threw lefty . Some third basemen have been converted from middle infielders or outfielders because the position does not require them to run as fast . Expectations of how well a third baseman should be able to hit have varied a great deal over time ; in the early years of the sport , these expectations were similar to those for shortstops , the third baseman being merely the less skilled defensive player . Players who could hit with more ability often were not suited for third base , either because they were left-handed or because they were not mobile enough for the position . However , the beginning of the live-ball era in the 1920s created a greater demand for more offense , and third basemen have since been expected to hit either for a high average -LRB- .290 or better -RRB- or with moderate to substantial power . Since the 1950s the position has become more of a power position with sluggers such as Eddie Mathews , Mike Schmidt and Ron Santo becoming stars . There are fewer third basemen in the Baseball Hall of Fame than there are Hall of Famers of any other position . Furthermore , with the notable exception of John McGraw and Bobby Cox , few third basemen have gone on to have successful managing careers , with Jimmy Dykes and Negro Leaguer Dave Malarcher being perhaps the next most prominent managers who began their careers at third base .
0 A third baseman , abbreviated 3B , is the player in baseball whose responsibility is to defend the area nearest to third base -- the third of four bases a baserunner must touch in succession to score a run . baseball baseball 1 In the scoring system used to record defensive plays , the third baseman is assigned the number ' 5 ' . 2 3 4 The third baseman requires good reflexes in reacting to batted balls , as he or she is often the closest infielder -LRB- roughly 90 -- 120 feet -RRB- to the batter . infielder infielder 5 The third base position requires a strong and accurate arm , as the third baseman often makes long throws to first base . 6 The third baseman sometimes must throw quickly to second base in time to start a double play . second base second baseman double play double play 7 The third baseman must also field fly balls in fair and foul territory . fly balls Batted ball fair Baseball#The playing field foul Baseball#The playing field 8 9 10 Third base is known as the `` hot corner '' , because the third baseman is relatively close to the batter and most right-handed hitters tend to hit the ball hard in this direction . 11 A third baseman must possess good hand-eye coordination and quick reactions in order to catch hard line drives sometimes in excess of 125 miles per hour -LRB- 201 km/h -RRB- . 12 Third basemen often must begin in a position even closer to the batter if a bunt is expected , creating a hazard if the ball is instead hit sharply . bunt Bunt (baseball) 13 As with middle infielders , right-handed throwing players are standard at the position because they do not need to turn their body before throwing across the infield to first base . infield Infielder 14 Mike Squires , who played fourteen games at third base in 1982 and 1983 , is a very rare example of a third baseman who threw lefty .

Seaton won the Academy Award for Best Writing , Adapted Screenplay . It was entered in the 1955 Cannes Film Festival . Kelly won the Oscar for Best Actress for the role , which previously had earned Uta Hagen her first Tony Award in the play 's original Broadway production . The role , a non-glamorous departure for Kelly , was as the alcoholic actor 's long-suffering wife . The win was a huge surprise , as most critics and people in the press felt that Judy Garland would win for A Star Is Born . NBC even sent a camera crew to Garland 's hospital room , where she was recuperating from the birth of her son , in order to conduct a live interview with her if she won . The win by Kelly instead famously prompted Groucho Marx to send Garland a telegram stating it was `` the biggest robbery since Brinks . '' Given the period of its production , the film is notable for its realistic , frank dialogue and honest treatments of the surreptitious side of alcoholism and post-divorce misogyny .

They gained a dedicated following in the UK in the mid-1980s as a post-punk/gothic rock band , with singles such as `` She Sells Sanctuary '' , before breaking mainstream in the United States in the late 1980s as a hard rock band with singles such as `` Love Removal Machine '' and `` Fire Woman '' . According to music critic Stephen Thomas Erlewine , the band fuse a `` heavy metal revivalist '' sound with the `` pseudo-mysticism ... of The Doors -LSB- and -RSB- the guitar-orchestrations of Led Zeppelin ... while adding touches of post-punk goth rock '' . Since the initial formation of Southern Death Cult in Bradford in 1981 , the band have had various line-ups ; the longest-serving members are Astbury and guitarist Billy Duffy , the band 's two songwriters . After moving to London , the band released their second album Love in 1985 , which charted at No. 4 in the UK and included singles such as `` She Sells Sanctuary '' and `` Rain '' . On their third album , Electric -LRB- 1987 -RRB- , the band supplemented their post-punk sound with hard rock ; the polish on this new sound was facilitated by producer Rick Rubin . Their fourth album , Sonic Temple -LRB- 1989 -RRB- , proceeded in a similar vein , and these two albums enabled them to break into the North American market . By the early 1990s , The Cult were fraying behind the scenes due to alcohol abuse , which prompted the band to split up in 1995 . The band reunited in 1999 and recorded the album Beyond Good and Evil , and they reissued all of their albums in Asia and Eastern Europe in 2003 and Japan in 2004 . In 2006 , the band reformed once again to perform a series of worldwide tours . In October 2007 , the band released the album Born into This on Roadrunner Records . In July 2009 , Astbury announced that The Cult would not record any more studio albums , focusing on EPs and digital releases instead for new material . However , the band have since released two more studio albums : Choice of Weapon -LRB- 2012 -RRB- and Hidden City -LRB- 2016 -RRB- .

The_Joshua_Tree
The Joshua Tree is the fifth studio album by Irish rock band U2 . It was produced by Daniel Lanois and Brian Eno , and was released on 9 March 1987 on Island Records . In contrast to the ambient experimentation of their 1984 release , The Unforgettable Fire , the band aimed for a harder-hitting sound within the limitation of conventional song structures on The Joshua Tree . The album is influenced by American and Irish roots music , and through sociopolitically conscious lyrics embellished with spiritual imagery , it contrasts the group 's antipathy for the `` real America '' with their fascination with the `` mythical America '' . Inspired by American tour experiences , literature , and politics , U2 chose America as a theme for the record . Recording began in January 1986 in Ireland , and to foster a relaxed , creative atmosphere , the group primarily recorded in two houses . Several events during the sessions helped shape the conscious tone of the album , including the band 's participation in the Conspiracy of Hope benefit concerts for Amnesty International , the death of roadie Greg Carroll , and lead vocalist Bono 's travels to Central America . Recording was completed in November 1986 ; additional production continued into January 1987 . Throughout the sessions , U2 sought a `` cinematic '' quality for the record , one that would evoke a sense of location , in particular , the open spaces of the United States . They represented this in the sleeve photography depicting them in American desert landscapes . The Joshua Tree received critical acclaim , topped the charts in over 20 countries , and became the fastest-selling album in British history . According to Rolling Stone , the album increased the band 's stature `` from heroes to superstars '' . It produced the hit singles `` With or Without You '' , `` I Still Have n't Found What I 'm Looking For '' , and `` Where the Streets Have No Name '' , the first two of which became the group 's only number-one singles in the US . The album won Grammy Awards for Album of the Year and Best Rock Performance by a Duo or Group with Vocal in 1988 . The group supported the record with the Joshua Tree Tour throughout 1987 . Frequently featured on critics ' lists of the greatest records , The Joshua Tree is one of the world 's best-selling albums , with over 25 million copies sold . U2 commemorated the record 's 20th anniversary with a remastered re-release , and its 30th anniversary with announcements of an anniversary concert tour and reissue . In 2014 , it was deemed `` culturally , historically , or aesthetically significant '' by the US Library of Congress and selected for preservation in the National Recording Registry .

The film stars Jennifer Lawrence , Josh Hutcherson , Liam Hemsworth , Woody Harrelson , Elizabeth Banks , Lenny Kravitz , Stanley Tucci , and Donald Sutherland . The story takes place in a dystopian post-apocalyptic future in the nation of Panem , where boys and girls between the ages of 12 and 18 must take part in the Hunger Games , a televised annual event in which the `` tributes '' are required to fight to the death until there is only one survivor . Katniss Everdeen -LRB- Lawrence -RRB- volunteers to take her younger sister 's place . Joined by her district 's male tribute , Peeta Mellark -LRB- Hutcherson -RRB- , Katniss travels to the Capitol to train for the Hunger Games under the guidance of former victor Haymitch Abernathy -LRB- Harrelson -RRB- . Development of The Hunger Games began in March 2009 when Lions Gate Entertainment entered into a co-production agreement with Color Force , which had acquired the rights a few weeks earlier . Collins collaborated with Ray and Ross to write the screenplay . The screenplay expanded the character of Seneca Crane to allow several developments to be shown directly to the audience and Ross added several scenes between Crane and Coriolanus Snow . The main characters were cast between March and May 2011 . Principal photography began in May 2011 and ended in September 2011 , with filming taking place in North Carolina . The Hunger Games was shot entirely on film as opposed to digital . The film was released on March 21 , 2012 , in some European countries and in the US on March 23 , 2012 , in both conventional theaters and digital IMAX theaters . Japan received it last , on September 28 . When the film released , it set records for opening day -LRB- $ 67.3 million -RRB- and opening weekend for a non-sequel . At the time of its release , the film 's opening weekend gross -LRB- $ 152.5 million -RRB- was the third-largest of any movie in North America . It is the first film since Avatar to remain in first place at the North American box office for four consecutive weekends . The film was a massive box-office success by grossing over $ 694 million worldwide against its budget of $ 78 million , making it the third-highest-grossing film in the United States and ninth-highest-grossing worldwide of 2012 . It was released on DVD and Blu-ray Disc on August 18 , 2012 . With 7,434,058 units sold , the DVD was the best-selling DVD of 2012 . A sequel , The Hunger Games : Catching Fire , was released on November 22 , 2013 , in the United States . The Hunger Games received positive reviews from critics , with praise for its themes and messages , as well as Jennifer Lawrence 's portrayal of Katniss , though there was criticism of the film 's use of shaky cam in the action sequences . Like the novel , the film has been noted for its similarities to other works , such as Robert Sheckley 's short story `` Seventh Victim '' and its Italian film adaptation The 10th Victim , the Japanese novel Battle Royale and its film adaptation , and the Shirley Jackson short story `` The Lottery '' , with some criticizing The Hunger Games for being derivative of such works . Collins stated in an interview that her novel and screenplay drew on sources of inspiration such as the myth of Theseus , Roman gladiatorial games , reality television , and the desensitization of viewers to media coverage of real-life tragedy and war , not to think as just an audience member , `` Because those are real people on the screen , and they 're not going away when the commercials start to roll . '' The song `` Safe & Sound '' won a Grammy Award and was nominated for a Golden Globe Award for Best Original Song . For her performance , Lawrence won the Saturn Award for Best Actress , the Broadcast Film Critics Association Award for Best Actress in an Action Movie , the Empire Award for Best Actress and was also nominated for the New York Film Critics Circle Award for Best Actress .

The portrayal is one of a stereotypical Cajun from the bayous of South Louisiana , not the typical stereotype of a Southerner . He also shares similarities in speech and mannerism to Canteen Boy , a recurring character , also portrayed by Sandler , on Saturday Night Live . Like Bobby , Canteen Boy was a soft-spoken manchild who preferred `` purified water , right out of the old canteen , '' which he always carried with him .

Titanic_-LRB-1997_film-RRB-
Titanic is a 1997 American epic romance-disaster film directed , written , co-produced , and co-edited by James Cameron . A fictionalized account of the sinking of the RMS Titanic , it stars Leonardo DiCaprio and Kate Winslet as members of different social classes who fall in love aboard the ship during its ill-fated maiden voyage . Cameron 's inspiration for the film came from his fascination with shipwrecks ; he felt a love story interspersed with the human loss would be essential to convey the emotional impact of the disaster . Production began in 1995 , when Cameron shot footage of the actual Titanic wreck . The modern scenes on the research vessel were shot on board the Akademik Mstislav Keldysh , which Cameron had used as a base when filming the wreck . Scale models , computer-generated imagery , and a reconstruction of the Titanic built at Playas de Rosarito in Baja California were used to re-create the sinking . The film was partially funded by Paramount Pictures and 20th Century Fox . It was the most expensive film made at that time , with an estimated budget of $ 200 million . Upon its release on December 19 , 1997 , Titanic achieved critical and commercial success . Nominated for fourteen Academy Awards , it tied All About Eve -LRB- 1950 -RRB- for the most Oscar nominations , and won eleven , including the awards for Best Picture and Best Director , tying Ben Hur -LRB- 1959 -RRB- for the most Oscars won by a single film . With an initial worldwide gross of over $ 1.84 billion , Titanic was the first film to reach the billion-dollar mark .

Treaty_of_Perth
The Treaty of Perth , signed 2 July 1266 , ended military conflict between Magnus VI of Norway and Alexander III of Scotland over the sovereignty of the Hebrides and the Isle of Man . The Hebrides and the Isle of Man had become Norwegian territory during centuries when both Scotland and Norway were still forming themselves as coherent nation-states , and Norwegian control had been formalised in 1098 , when Edgar of Scotland signed the islands over to Magnus III of Norway . In Norwegian terms , the islands were the Sudreys , meaning Southern Isles . The Treaty was agreed three years after the Battle of Largs in 1263 . Michael Lynch has compared the treaty 's importance with that of the Treaty of York of 1237 . The Treaty of York defined a border between Scotland and England which is almost identical to the modern border . Largs is often claimed as a great Scottish victory , but the Norwegian forces , led by King Håkon IV , were not fully committed to battle and the result was inconclusive . Håkon had planned to renew military action the following summer , but he died in Orkney during the winter . His successor , King Magnus VI , sued for peace and secured the Treaty of Perth . In the treaty Norway recognised Scottish sovereignty over the disputed territories in return for a lump sum of 4,000 marks and an annuity of 100 marks . The annuity was paid during subsequent decades . Scotland also confirmed Norwegian sovereignty over Shetland and Orkney .

Torchwood
Torchwood -LRB- -LSB- ` tawrch , wUd -RSB- -RRB- is a British science fiction television programme created by Russell T Davies . A spin-off from the 2005 revival of long-running science fiction programme Doctor Who , Torchwood aired four series between 2006 and 2011 . The show shifted its broadcast channel each series to reflect its growing audience , moving from BBC Three to BBC Two to BBC One , and acquiring US financing in its fourth series when it became a co-production of BBC One and Starz . In contrast to Doctor Who , whose target audience includes both adults and children , Torchwood is aimed at an older audience . Over its run , the show explored a number of themes ; prominent among these were existentialism , homosexual and bisexual relationships , and explorations of human corruptibility . Torchwood follows the exploits of a small team of alien hunters , who make up the Cardiff-based , fictional Torchwood Institute , which deals mainly with incidents involving extraterrestrials . Its central character is Captain Jack Harkness -LRB- John Barrowman -RRB- , an immortal former con-man from the distant future ; Jack originally appeared in the 2005 series of Doctor Who . Other than Barrowman , the initial main cast of the series consisted of Eve Myles , Burn Gorman , Naoko Mori , and Gareth David-Lloyd . Their characters are specialists for the Torchwood team , often tracking down aliens and defending the planet from alien and nefarious human threats . In its first two series , the show uses a time rift in Cardiff as its primary plot generator , accounting for the unusual preponderance of alien beings in Cardiff . In the third and fourth series , Torchwood operate as fugitives . Gorman and Mori 's characters were written out of the story at the end of the second series . Recurring actor Kai Owen was promoted to the main cast in series three , in which David-Lloyd too was written out . Subsequently , American actors Mekhi Phifer , Alexa Havins , and Bill Pullman joined the cast of the show for its fourth series . The first series premiered on BBC Three and on BBC HD in 2006 to mixed reviews , but viewing figures which broke records for the digital channel . It returned in 2008 where it aired first on BBC Two , receiving a higher budget ; its uneven tone , a criticism of the first series , was largely smoothed out , and the show attracted higher ratings and better reviews . The third series episodes worked on a higher budget and transferred to the network 's flagship channel , BBC One , as a five-episode serial , entitled Torchwood : Children of Earth . Although Children of Earth was broadcast over a period of five consecutive summer weeknights , the show received high ratings in the United Kingdom and overseas . A fourth series , co-produced by BBC Wales , BBC Worldwide , and US premium entertainment network Starz aired in 2011 under the title Torchwood : Miracle Day . Set both in Wales and the United States , Miracle Day fared less well with critics than the previous series , though was applauded by some for its ambition . In October 2012 , Davies announced that for personal reasons the show would enter indefinite hiatus . All four series have been broadcast in Asia , Australia , New Zealand , Europe , and North America .

Toothed_whale
The toothed whales -LRB- systematic name Odontoceti -RRB- are a parvorder of cetaceans that includes all the dolphins and porpoises , as well as the whales that have teeth , such as the beaked whales and sperm whales . Seventy-three species of toothed whales -LRB- also called odontocetes -RRB- are described . They are one of two living groups of cetaceans , the other being the baleen whales -LRB- Mysticeti -RRB- , which have baleen instead of teeth . The two groups are thought to have diverged around 34 million years ago -LRB- mya -RRB- . Toothed whales range in size from the 4.5 ft and 120 lbs vaquita to the 20 m and 55 MT sperm whale . Several species of odontocetes exhibit sexual dimorphism , in that the females are larger than males . They have streamlined bodies and two limbs that are modified into flippers . Some can travel at up to 20 knots . Odontocetes have conical teeth designed for catching fish or squid . They have well-developed hearing , that is well adapted for both air and water , so much so that some can survive even if they are blind . Some species are well adapted for diving to great depths . Almost all have a layer of fat , or blubber , under the skin to keep warm in the cold water , with the exception of river dolphins . Toothed whales consist of some of the most widespread mammals , but some , as with the vaquita , are restricted to certain areas . Odontocetes feed largely on fish and squid , but a few , like the killer whale , feed on mammals , such as pinnipeds . Males typically mate with multiple females every year , but females only mate every two to three years , making them polygynous . Calves are typically born in the spring and summer , and females bear the responsibility for raising them , but more sociable species rely on the family group to care for calves . Many species , mainly dolphins , are highly sociable , with some pods reaching over a thousand individuals . Once hunted for their products , cetaceans are now protected by international law . Some species are attributed with high levels of intelligence . At the 2012 meeting of the American Association for the Advancement of Science , support was reiterated for a cetacean bill of rights , listing cetaceans as nonhuman persons . Besides whaling and drive hunting , they also face threats from bycatch and marine pollution . The baiji , for example , is considered functionally extinct by the IUCN , with the last sighting in 2004 , due to heavy pollution to the Yangtze River . Whales occasionally feature in literature and film , as in the great white sperm whale of Herman Melville 's Moby-Dick . Small odontocetes , mainly dolphins , are kept in captivity and trained to perform tricks . Whale watching has become a form of tourism around the world .

Toby Whithouse -LSB- ˈwɪthaʊs -RSB- is an English actor , stand-up comedian and screenwriter . His highest-profile work has been the creation of the BBC Three supernatural television series Being Human . He also created the Channel 4 television drama series No Angels -LRB- 2004 -- 06 -RRB- , and has written for BBC One 's Hotel Babylon and Doctor Who . One of his Doctor Who episodes , titled `` School Reunion '' , featured the return of the robot dog K-9 and 1970s companion Sarah Jane Smith . After initially attending art college in his home town of Southend , Whithouse decided to drop out of the course and turn to acting as a profession . He was a regular in the early 1990s BBC One drama series The House of Eliott and had a small role in the 1993 film Shadowlands . He also appeared on stage in the West End , co-starring with Gene Wilder in Laughter on the 23rd Floor by Neil Simon in 1997 . Frustrated at what he perceived as a lack of quality in many of the scripts he was sent to read , Whithouse took to writing in his spare time between acting roles , eventually writing a play Jump Mr. Malinoff , Jump which won the Verity Bargate Award . The play was performed as the opening production of the Soho Theatre in Dean Street , London . Following this , he gained his first television work , writing an episode for the ITV drama series Where the Heart Is . He then became associated with the independent production company World Productions , for whom he worked on the BBC Two drama series Attachments . When Channel 4 approached World with a view to a new drama series commission , the company came up with the idea of a series concerning the lives of four nurses in the North of England , and Whithouse was given the task of fleshing out and formatting the show which became No Angels . The series was a success , running for three series on Channel 4 from 2004 to 2006 . Already being a friend of Doctor Who executive producer Julie Gardner , Whithouse was invited to contribute to the series in 2005 , eventually writing the third episode of the second series , `` School Reunion '' , transmitted on 29 April 2006 . He went on to write for the Doctor Who spin-off series Torchwood , with his episode -- `` Greeks Bearing Gifts '' -- transmitted on 26 November 2006 . Whithouse returned to Doctor Who in 2010 , 2011 , 2012 , 2015 and 2017 . In 2008 the pilot of Being Human , created and written by Whithouse , was shown on BBC Three . At first it was not part of BBC 's line-up for new commissioned series , but after positive public feedback including a petition for its return , it returned on BBC Three as a 6-part series in early 2009 . The first episode debuted on 25 January 2009 . The series went on to run for five seasons before it ended in 2013 . As an actor , he appeared in the role of Alistair in the film version of Bridget Jones 's Diary in 2001 . Since then his appearances have been less frequent , although he appeared in a small role in his own episode of Hotel Babylon in February 2006 , and made a cameo appearance in the last ever episode of No Angels , transmitted on Channel 4 in April 2006 . He also played the Home Secretary in the final series of Being Human in 2013 . Toby Whithouse is also a stand up comedian and has played several gigs under the `` Laughing Horse '' banner .

Tony_Blair
Anthony Charles Lynton Blair -LRB- born 6 May 1953 -RRB- is a British politician who served as Prime Minister of the United Kingdom from 1997 to 2007 and Leader of the Labour Party from 1994 to 2007 . He remains the most recent Labour Party leader to have won a general election . From 1983 to 2007 , Blair was the Member of Parliament -LRB- MP -RRB- for Sedgefield . He was elected Labour Party leader in July 1994 , following the sudden death of his predecessor , John Smith , who together with his predecessor , Neil Kinnock , had started to move the party closer to the political centre , in the hope of winning power . Under Blair 's leadership , the party used the phrase `` New Labour '' , to distance it from previous Labour policies and the traditional conception of socialism . Blair declared support for a new conception that he referred to as `` social-ism '' , involving politics that recognised individuals as socially interdependent , and advocated social justice , cohesion , the equal worth of each citizen , and equal opportunity , also referred to as the Third Way . Critics of Blair denounced him for having the Labour Party abandon genuine socialism and accepting capitalism . Supporters , including the party 's public opinion pollster Philip Gould , stated that after four consecutive general election defeats , from 1979 to 1992 , the Labour Party had to demonstrate that it had made a decisive break from its left-wing past , in order to win an election again . In May 1997 , the Labour Party won a landslide general election victory , the largest in its history , allowing Blair , at 43 years old , to become the youngest Prime Minister since 1812 . In September 1997 , Blair attained early personal popularity , receiving a 93 % public approval rating , after his public response to the death of Princess Diana . The Labour Party went on to win two more elections under his leadership : in 2001 , in which it won another landslide victory , and in 2005 , with a reduced majority . In the first years of the New Labour government , Blair 's government introduced the National Minimum Wage Act , Human Rights Act , and Freedom of Information Act . Blair 's government also devolved power , establishing the Scottish Parliament , the National Assembly for Wales , and the Northern Ireland Assembly . In Northern Ireland , Blair was involved in the 1998 Good Friday Agreement . Blair strongly supported the foreign policy of the Bush administration , and ensured that the British Armed Forces participated in the 2001 invasion of Afghanistan and , more controversially , the 2003 invasion of Iraq . Blair has faced strong criticism for his role in the invasion of Iraq , including calls for having him tried for war crimes and waging a war of aggression . In 2016 , the Iraq Inquiry strongly criticised his actions and described the invasion of Iraq as unjustified and unnecessary . Blair also intervened militarily in Kosovo and Sierra Leone . Blair was succeeded as the leader of the Labour Party and as Prime Minister by Gordon Brown in June 2007 . On the day that Blair resigned as Prime Minister , he was appointed the official Special Envoy of the Quartet on the Middle East , an office which he held until May 2015 . He now runs a consultancy business and has set up various foundations in his own name , including the Tony Blair Faith Foundation .

Time_Lord
The Time Lords are a fictional , ancient extraterrestrial people in the British science fiction television series Doctor Who , of which the series ' protagonist , the Doctor , is a member . Time Lords are so named for their command of time travel technology and their non-linear perception of time . Originally they were described as a powerful and wise race from the planet Gallifrey , from which the Doctor was a renegade ; details beyond this were very limited for the first decade of the series . They later became integral to many episodes and stories as their role in the fictional universe developed . For the first eight years after the series resumed in 2005 , the Time Lords were said to have been destroyed at some point between the original series ' cancellation in 1989 and the show 's revival during the fictional Last Great Time War . In 2013 , the 50th anniversary special `` The Day of the Doctor '' concerned this supposed destruction and their eventual survival . They developed a culture of custodianship and time-related technologies based on this perception which includes strictly controlled space/time travel machines -LRB- known as `` TARDISes '' -RRB- and monitoring devices to travel through time and to prevent time from being subverted or abused -- although actual action was described as rare in practice due to their traditional policy of strict non-interference and neutrality . They can act to manipulate timelines of a wide range of events and individuals , so long as they do not cross back into their own timeline . Over subsequent episodes their history , their development of time manipulation , and their internal politics were touched upon , with Time Lord society portrayed as a stagnated ceremony-bound oligarchy and their past having descended into myth and legend . The Doctor became at times an ally , being appointed their president during his fourth incarnation and assisting them on many occasions .

To_Kill_a_Mockingbird
To Kill a Mockingbird is a novel by Harper Lee published in 1960 . It was immediately successful , winning the Pulitzer Prize , and has become a classic of modern American literature . The plot and characters are loosely based on Lee 's observations of her family , her neighbors and an event that occurred near her hometown of Monroeville , Alabama , in 1936 , when she was 10 years old . The novel is renowned for its warmth and humor , despite dealing with the serious issues of rape and racial inequality . The narrator 's father , Atticus Finch , has served as a moral hero for many readers and as a model of integrity for lawyers . One critic explains the novel 's impact by writing , `` In the twentieth century , To Kill a Mockingbird is probably the most widely read book dealing with race in America , and its protagonist , Atticus Finch , the most enduring fictional image of racial heroism . '' As a Southern Gothic novel and a Bildungsroman , the primary themes of To Kill a Mockingbird involve racial injustice and the destruction of innocence . Scholars have noted that Lee also addresses issues of class , courage , compassion , and gender roles in the American Deep South . The book is widely taught in schools in the United States with lessons that emphasize tolerance and decry prejudice . Despite its themes , To Kill a Mockingbird has been subject to campaigns for removal from public classrooms , often challenged for its use of racial epithets . Reaction to the novel varied widely upon publication . Despite the number of copies sold and its widespread use in education , literary analysis of it is sparse . Author Mary McDonough Murphy , who collected individual impressions of To Kill a Mockingbird by several authors and public figures , calls the book `` an astonishing phenomenon '' . In 2006 , British librarians ranked the book ahead of the Bible as one `` every adult should read before they die '' . It was adapted into an Oscar-winning film in 1962 by director Robert Mulligan , with a screenplay by Horton Foote . Since 1990 , a play based on the novel has been performed annually in Harper Lee 's hometown . To Kill a Mockingbird was Lee 's only published book until Go Set a Watchman , an earlier draft of To Kill a Mockingbird , was published on July 14 , 2015 . Lee continued to respond to her work 's impact until her death in February 2016 , although she had refused any personal publicity for herself or the novel since 1964 .
