Eli Waldron (January 25, 1916 to June 9, 1980) was born Gerald Cleveland Waldron in Oconto Falls, Wisconsin.
 Waldron was an American writer and journalist whose primary work consisted of short stories, essays, and poetry.
 His writings were published in literary journals (such as "The Kenyon Review", "Prairie Schooner", and "Story") and popular periodicals (such as "Collier's", "Holiday", "Rolling Stone", "Saturday Evening Post").
 From the 1950s to 1970s he contributed stories and essays to ""The New Yorker", and in the 1960s and 1970s, a number of his poems and experimental fiction works appeared in underground, alternative, and "counter-culture" publications, such as "The Illustrated Paper", "Rat Subterranean News", "Underground", "The Village Voice", and "The Woodstock Times".
Jecon Gregory is or was a nomadic artist, whose autobiographical fragments and poems, dictated to an acquaintance, were published as the book "History of a Nation of One: An Unlikely Memoir" (Harcourt Brace, New York, 1969, and Michael Joseph, London, 1971).
 Jecon apparently did not know his place, date, language or even name of birth, began his wanderings as a child in Malta; walked through many lands, barefoot, tall and thin, pulling all his possessions in a basket on wheels, sleeping on the ground, and making a living by drawing portraits.
Michael Sragow (born June 26, 1952 in New York) is a film critic and columnist who has written for "The Orange County Register", "The Baltimore Sun", "The San Francisco Examiner", "The New Times", "The New Yorker" (where he worked with Pauline Kael), "The Atlantic" and "Salon".
 Sragow also edited James Agee's film essays (for the book "Agee on Film"), and has written or contributed to several other cinema-related books.
James Rufus Agee ( ; November 27, 1909 – May 16, 1955) was an American novelist, journalist, poet, screenwriter and film critic.
 In the 1940s, he was one of the most influential film critics in the U.S. His autobiographical novel, "A Death in the Family" (1957), won the author a posthumous 1958 Pulitzer Prize.
The Victoria Cross (VC) is a military decoration awarded for valour "in the presence of the enemy" to members of the Australia Armed Forces.
 It may be awarded to a person of any in any service, and to civilians under military command.
 Being the highest award in the Australian Honours Order of Wearing, the Victoria Cross takes precedence over all other postnominals and Australian orders and decorations.
 The Victoria Cross was instituted by Queen Victoria in 1856, initially to reward acts of valour during the Crimean War.
 Because of its rarity and inherent significance, the VC is highly prized, both as an award and as a collector's item, with one medal being sold for over A$1 million at auction.
 Australians have received the Victoria Cross under the Imperial honours system and later under the Australian Honours System, when in 1991 a new but equivalent award was established by letters patent within the Commonwealth of Australia and its Territories, known as the Victoria Cross for Australia.
 The Victoria Cross for Australia has been awarded four times: twice to Special Air Service Regiment members, once to a member of the 6th Battalion, Royal Australian Regiment, and a posthumous award to a member of the 2nd Commando Regiment.
 All four were for actions in the War in Afghanistan.
An autobiographical novel is a form of novel using autofiction techniques, or the merging of autobiographical and fictive elements.
 The literary technique is distinguished from an autobiography or memoir by the stipulation of being fiction.
 Because an autobiographical novel is partially fiction, the author does not ask the reader to expect the text to fulfill the "autobiographical pact".
 Names and locations are often changed and events are recreated to make them more dramatic but the story still bears a close resemblance to that of the author's life.
 While the events of the author's life are recounted, there is no pretense of exact truth.
 Events may be exaggerated or altered for artistic or thematic purposes.
"Ratatouille" is a computer-animated film produced by Pixar and distributed by Walt Disney Pictures.
 The film was released on June 29, 2007 in the United States as the eighth film produced by Pixar.
 It was directed by Brad Bird, who took over from Jan Pinkava in 2005.
 The plot follows Remy, a rat who dreams of becoming a chef and tries to achieve his goal by forming an alliance with a Parisian restaurant's garbage boy.
 "Ratatouille" was released to both critical acclaim and box office success, opening in 3,940 theaters domestically and debuting at #1 with $47 million, grossing $206,445,654 in North America and a total of $624,445,654 worldwide.
 The film is on the 2007 top ten lists of multiple critics, including Michael Sragow of "The Baltimore Sun" as number one, A.O. Scott of "The New York Times", Carina Chocano of the "Los Angeles Times" and Joe Morgenstern of "The Wall Street Journal" as number two.
The Wild Bunch: An Album in Montage is a 1996 American short documentary film directed and edited by Paul Seydor.
 The occasion for the creation of this documentary was the discovery of 72 minutes of silent black-and-white 16 mm film footage of Sam Peckinpah and company on location in northern Mexico during the filming of "The Wild Bunch".
 Todd McCarthy described it as, "A unique and thoroughly unexpected document about the making of one of modern cinema's key works, this short docu will be a source of fascination to film buffs in general and Sam Peckinpah fanatics in particular."
 Michael Sragow wrote that the film is "a wonderful introduction to Peckinpah’s radically detailed historical film about American outlaws in revolutionary Mexico — a masterpiece that’s part bullet-driven ballet, part requiem for Old West friendship and part existential explosion.
 Seydor’s movie is also a poetic flight on the myriad possibilities of movie directing."
 Seydor and Redman were nominated for the Academy Award for Best Documentary (Short Subject).
There have been five equine recipients of the Dickin Medal since its creation in 1943.
 The first three were British horses Regal, Olga, and Upstart, the Canadian Corps Cavalry horse Warrior and the American Sergeant Reckless.
 The first three received their awards at a ceremony on 11 April 1947 at Hyde Park in recognition of the courage they exhibited during World War II.
 These three were mounts used by members of the Metropolitan Police Service during official duties and to aid civilians during the Blitz and later bombings from September 1940 to late 1944.
 Warrior served on the Western Front during World War I and was awarded an honorary posthumous medal in September 2014.
 Another posthumous award was given in 2016 to Sergeant Reckless, a mare who served during the Korean War with the United States Marine Corps and was given the rank of staff sergeant.
 Of the recipients, three were honoured for courage during active duty, one for remaining calm when his stable was bombed on two separate occasions and one to commemorate the actions of animals during the First World War.
 The first three horses were selected primarily as a way to honour the entire mounted police force instead of singling out any particular deed.
 Olga, Upstart and Regal are buried at the Metropolitan Police Mounted Training Establishment at Thames Ditton which also displays their medals in a museum.
Pádraic Ó Conaire (28 February 1882 – 6 October 1928) was an Irish writer and journalist whose production was primarily in the Irish language.
 In his lifetime he wrote 26 books, 473 stories, 237 essays and 6 plays.
 His acclaimed novel Deoraíocht has been described by Angela Bourke as 'the earliest example of modernist fiction in Irish'.
