 When Nijinsky was fired from the Imperial Ballet for an incident possibly masterminded by Diaghilev, the impresario hired him.
Petrushka 
 Nijinsky was an artist of the greatest magnitude who could lead the Ballets Russes to unheard of success and international renown.
Petrushka 
 Petrushka and Le Spectre de la rose were the highlights of the 1911 season, Daphnis and Chloe and Afternoon of a Faun of the 1912 season, and The Rite of Spring of the 1913 season.
Petrushka 
 In the following years, Diaghilev persuaded disgruntled artists who had left the company to return  Fokine and Benois, especially.
Petrushka 
 Petrushka was the creation of four men: composer Igor Stravinsky, scenery and costume designer Alexandre Benois, choreographer Mikhail Fokine, and Ballets Russes impresario Serge Diaghilev.
Petrushka 
 Stravinsky and Benois each attributed the creation of the libretto to one another in the days following the ballet's successful premiere.
Petrushka 
 The idea about a ballet based on a puppet was Stravinsky's, but the libretto was almost certainly the work of Benois.
Petrushka 
 Benois did not plan a career in the arts, but graduated in law from the St. Petersburg Imperial University in 1894.
Petrushka 
 In 1901, Benois was appointed scenic director for the  Mariinsky Theatre, and in 1905 moved to Paris and began working for the Ballets Russes.
Petrushka 
 Benois was unavailable for comment when Stravinsky offered his undeveloped idea about a ballet for a puppet to Diaghilev in 1910.
Petrushka 
 He had separated himself from the Ballets Russes after his libretto for Schéhérazade had been attributed to Léon Bakst in the ballet's theatre programmes.
Petrushka 
 Diaghilev was pleased to have Benois back on board and suggested the ballet be set during the Shrovetide Fair (a Mardi Gras-like celebration before Lent) in St. Petersburg about 1830.
Petrushka 
 Benois was designing costumes and scenery during the libretto's composition to give his colleagues a visual idea of the ballet's final appearance.
Petrushka 
 Rehearsals for Petrushka were in progress in the basement of the theatre where the Ballets Russes was performing  though the music and libretto were yet to be completed.
Petrushka 
 The ballet received a more definitive shape when Fokine began to rehearse the principal dancers, and, as often as possible, the dancers playing the different fairgoers in the crowd.
Petrushka 
 The impresario recalled his impression with Stravinsky and  decided the young composer was the man to write the score for The Firebird.
Petrushka 
 He was flattered to be chosen from the many great musicians of the age to write the score, and just as flattered to be working with men who were geniuses in their fields.
Petrushka 
 The result was a work in which movement, music, and scenery and costume design were integrated into one artistic whole.
Petrushka 
 The stop-and-go, episodic character of classical ballet was avoided in favor of a fluid continuity from start to finish.
Petrushka 
 This success led Diaghilev to hire Stravinsky to write the score for another ballet, The Rite of Spring.
Petrushka 
 The idea for this ballet was Stravinsky's, and based on a dream he had had about a virgin forced to dance to death to propitiate the god of spring.
Petrushka 
 Stravinsky was thinking of the Russian hand puppet, Petrushka, when he wrote the concert piece: "In composing the music, I had in my mind a distinct picture of a puppet, suddenly endowed with life, exasperating the patience of the orchestra with diabolical cascades of arpeggios.
Petrushka 
 It uses the music of the past (folk tunes and popular songs), but departs from the simplicity of these tunes.
Petrushka 
 Stravinsky put some popular Russian folk tunes into the score as well as less ethnic music such as a waltz by early 19th-century Viennese composer Josef Lanner.
Petrushka 
 Stravinsky put a popular French tune into Scene One ("She had a wooden leg") and was forced to pay royalties into the 1950s to the tune's writer.
Petrushka 
 In 1919, Stravinsky gave his permission to the Aeolian Company of London to create transcriptions for piano rolls.

Petrushka 
 He always set the ballet in Admiralty Square, although the actual place of the fair was moved to the Winter Palace Square and finally to the Field of Mars.

Petrushka 
 They all had a proscenium executed in a Russian folk style, and a backdrop showing St. Isaac's Cathedral.
Petrushka 
 He tried many jungle animals  elephants, lions, crocodiles  on the wall covering of the room but was not pleased.
Petrushka 
 He opposed much of the traditions of the Imperial Ballet such as the circular position of a dancer's arms, the pirouette ending a male dancer's solo, and the lengthy curtain calls.
Petrushka 
 His intent was to make each movement have meaning, to create a fluid work from start to finish unhindered by the traditional stop and go of classical ballet, and to avoid a gymnastic style of dance.
Petrushka 
 He wanted his dancers to interpret musical phrases, accents, and nuances through meaningful movement.
Petrushka 
 He respected the choreographic accomplishments of the past and refused to re-choreograph older works.
Petrushka 
 He choreographed Les Sylphides and a few other ballets for Diaghilev's first Paris season,  and The Firebird and Scheherazade for the 1910 season.
Petrushka 
 Fokine described Stravinsky's Petruska score as "sounds tormenting the ear and yet stimulating the imagination and stirring the soul."
Petrushka 
 Fokine admitted as much, but managed to make progress with the dancers and on the choreography itself.
Petrushka 
 Fokine gave "pizzicato points" to the Ballerina, Kirstein notes, while the Moor's toes are turned out (en dehors), and Petrushka's toes are turned in (en dedans).
Petrushka 
 The mechanical, flat movements of the puppets provide contrast to the natural movements of the crowd, and mime accentuates the Ballerina's vanity, the Moor's mindless pride, and Petruchka's helplessness.
Petrushka 
 Fokine may have been influenced by other ballets about life-size animated dolls such as Coppelia (1870), Arlekinada (Les Millions d'Arlequin), and Fairy Doll (1903).
Petrushka 
 Fokine's most revolutionary gestures in Petrushka are the demotion of virtuoso star roles to character roles, and the elimination of classical ballet's narrative introduction, "white" act, obligatory virtuoso dances for the stars, and divertissement.
Petrushka 
 The solo moments for The Moor and Petrushka are basically mime, and, without her own scene, The Ballerina has no solo.
Petrushka 
 Fokine used Russian national dance forms in a fragmentary fashion for the various characters in the crowd.
Petrushka 
 Fokine complained that the crowd was insufficiently rehearsed, Nijinsky complained that movement for the crowd was never really choreographed but was left for the dancers to improvise, and Benois complained that Diaghilev would not spend the money necessary to realize certain effects.
Petrushka 
 Kirstein writes, "The metaphor of manipulated automata remains poeticallty powerful, now haloed in the nostalgia of many period memoirs.
Petrushka 
 He transformed his Slavic features, his athletic physique, his virtuoso technique, and his classical discipline into one of the most moving portraits in the ballet repertoire  that of a sad puppet with jerking, awkward movements.
Petrushka 
 On the night of performance however, Nijinsky's superhuman understanding of character transformed him into the puppet.
Petrushka 
 Benois wrote, "The metamorphosis took place when he put on his costume and covered his face with make-up  I was surprised at the courage Vaslav showed, after all his jeune premier successes, in appearing as a horrible half-doll, half-human grotesque.
Petrushka 
 The great difficulty of Petrushka's part is to express his pitiful oppression and his hopeless efforts to achieve personal dignity without ceasing to be a puppet.
Petrushka 
 Both music and libretto are spasmodically interrupted by outbursts of illusive joy and frenzied despair.
Petrushka 
 The artist is not given a single pas or fioriture to enable him to be attractive to the public, and one must remember that Nijinsky was then quite a young man and the temptation to be "attractive to the public" must have appealed to him far more strongly than to an older artist."
Petrushka 
 American dance critic Carl Van Vechten describes Nijinsky's Petrushka: "He is a puppet and  remarkable touch  a puppet with a soul.
Petrushka 
 He suggests only the puppet in action; his facial expression never changes; yet the pathos is greater, more keenly carried over the footlights, than one would imagine possible under any conditions.
Petrushka 
 I have seen Fokine in the same role, and although he gives you all the gestures the result is not the same.
Petrushka 
 Who can ever forget Nijinsky as Petrushka when thrown by his master into his queer black box, mad with love for the dancer, who, in turn, prefers the Moor puppet, rushing about waving his pathetically stiff arms in the air, and finally beating his way with his clenched fists through the paper window to curse the stars?
Petrushka 
 Petrushka was first performed by the Ballets Russes in Paris at the Théâtre du Châtelet on 13 June 1911.
Petrushka 
 Nijinsky portrayed Petrushka, Tamara Karsavina The Ballerina, Alexandre Orlov The Moor, and Enrico Cecchetti The Charlatan.

Petrushka 
 The terrified Magician lets the Puppet-Petrushka drop from his hands, and exits quickly, casting frightened glances over his shoulder.
Blackbody radiation 
 A blackbody is an object that absorbs all radiation (visible light, infrared light, ultraviolet light, etc.)
Blackbody radiation 
 This part of the story of radiation was first explained by James Clerk Maxwell via wave theory but the predicted and actual intensity vs. frequency curves did not go together right.
Blackbody radiation 
 At higher frequencies classical physics predicted that more and more energy would be radiated from the body until the energy became infinite.
Blackbody radiation 
 When it was realised that  classical physics did not work for blackbody radiation, the German physicist  Max Planck explained their relationship by saying that there are individual things (he did not try to guess what kind of things) that vibrate, each at its frequency.
Blackbody radiation 
 A single wave or photon of infrared light is very low energy, cannot go through the human body, and can only warm it.
Blackbody radiation 
 Planck's good thinking was to realize that to get a single wave at the x-ray frequency, it was necessary to have a big enough package of energy (or "quantum") to make such a strong wave.
Blackbody radiation 
 So if a blackbody took in a single wave at the x-ray frequency, then it could give off an x-ray at some later time.
Blackbody radiation 
 It could only give off infrared light and could not give off even ordinary red light, much less any higher energy light such as ultraviolet light or x-ray radiation.
Blackbody radiation 
 Planck said that the total energy given off by a blackbody at any particular frequency is equal to the number of the "vibrating things" (see above), n, that was vibrating at a given frequency, f times a special constant, h, that turns frequency units into energy units.
Blackbody radiation 
 The idea that a unit of light at a given frequency always has the same energy, the idea that there is a quantum of energy for each unit of light at a given frequency, became the doorway into quantum mechanics, so the idea of a blackbody is something that is basic to modern physics.
Blackbody radiation 
 It shows up in discussions of a wide variety of physics topics having to do with energies and frequencies.

Netley Hospital 
 The Medical Department of the army was totally unprepared for the very large number of wounded soldiers being brought from the battles at places like the siege of Sevastopol.
Netley Hospital 
 The Boer Wars in southern Africa between 1880 and 1902 had a very high casualty rate for the British.
Netley Hospital 
 Thousands of British soldiers brought back to Netley were nearly far too many for the hospital, but others had been built by then and so they were able to deal with the number of troops.
Netley Hospital 
 Hundreds of wooden huts were built behind the site of the Hospital, increasing the capacity of Netley to some 5000 men.

Brown recluse spider 
 The brown recluse spider (Loxosceles reclusa) is a timid but dangerous spider that lives in North America.
Brown recluse spider 
 The scientific name of the spider Loxosceles reclusa comes from words that mean "slanted leg recluse".
Brown recluse spider 
 The "slanted leg" part comes from the fact that these spiders have their legs touching the ground at an angle instead of straight up and down.
Brown recluse spider 
 Sometimes it is called the violin spider since its head has a darker mark on it that looks like a violin.
Brown recluse spider 
 Scientists who study brown recluses and their relatives can even identify relatives of the brown recluse by studying the shapes of the sex organs.
Brown recluse spider 
 Spiders living in the south west part of the U.S. live in the woods, and spiders in the north east part live inside houses.
Brown recluse spider 
 These are places where people are less likely to bother them, and they have lots of good hiding places, like cardboard boxes.
Brown recluse spider 
 Brown recluses can hide inside these boxes and might make their home wherever the package is opened.
Brown recluse spider 
 However, spider experts have found brown recluses sent through the mail rarely start a new colony in their new home, partly because there are no other brown recluses for them to mate with.
Brown recluse spider 
 However, they do not move very far from their colony, which is usually not well-established in the new place.
Brown recluse spider 
 They can walk upside-down, but most brown recluses walking on ceilings have probably come from the upstairs floor.
Brown recluse spider 
 The blood cannot flow through their legs while they walk, so they must stop every few seconds to allow the blood to flow.
Brown recluse spider 
 If they get their leg caught in something, such as a crack or a predator's mouth, they can drop the leg.
Brown recluse spider 
 The spider can still walk around with only four legs, as long as there is still one leg on each side.
Brown recluse spider 
 Bug sprays and pest killers usually are not good for killing them, except for some kinds that are against the law to use.
Brown recluse spider 
 Even though brown recluse spiders are scared of people, it is a bad idea to try to touch one, because their bite can be very dangerous.
Brown recluse spider 
 Brown recluses will normally only bite a person if the person is touching the spider or if the spider is stuck between the person and something else.
Brown recluse spider 
 Most brown recluse bites happen when someone puts on clothes that have a brown recluse spider living inside of them.
Brown recluse spider 
 For people who have brown recluses living in their house, it is a good idea to shake out any clothes that have been on the floor for a few days before putting them on.
Brown recluse spider 
 These people should also be careful when walking around in attics, basements, or dark parts of the house with no shoes on.
Brown recluse spider 
 It is very common for people living with brown recluses to never see the spiders and never be bitten, and good habits can help make sure no one is bitten.
Brown recluse spider 
 Brown recluse spiders have been feared since they were discovered in 1940, and people will often take drastic approaches to rid their homes of these spiders.
Brown recluse spider 
 Spider experts noticed that the bite of a brown recluse could sometimes lead to a terrible infection called necrosis.
Brown recluse spider 
 Sometimes the necrosis becomes fatal, but these fatal bites are actually very rare, and most bites from brown recluses are no more harmful than a normal spider bite.
Brown recluse spider 
 It is very common for people bitten by spiders to arrive in a doctor's office without bringing the spider that bit them.
Brown recluse spider 
 The brown recluse spider is a very common spider to blame, since its name is so well-known, but it is very seldom that the brown recluse spider was involved.
Brown recluse spider 
 Doctors' guesswork has led many people to believe brown recluses exist outside their native area, such as in California, even though this is not true.
Brown recluse spider 
 It is pretty common for a Brown recluse to bite someone and that person may not feel any symptoms for multiple hours or even days from the time of the bite.
Brown recluse spider 
 In most cases, either a disease was the cause of the symptoms, or a different kind of spider bit the person and the doctor makes a mistake when he or she guesses it was a brown recluse.
