Charles "Charlie" Hodge (July 28, 1933 – April 16, 2016) was a Canadian retired professional ice hockey goaltender.
He played for the Montreal Canadiens, Vancouver Canucks, and Oakland Seals in the National Hockey League.
Hodge's first NHL game happened in 1954 with Montreal.
But because teams at that time only carried one goalie, and Montreal had perhaps the best goalie of the time in Jacques Plante, Charlie was only used in emergency situations.
During this time, he played mostly in the AHL.
When Plante was traded in 1962, Charlie got his chance to play full-time.
He twice won the Vezina Trophy for best goaltender, once by himself in 1963–64 and shared with Gump Worsley in 1965–66.
Hodge's name appears on the league championship Stanley Cup six times, although he only actually played in one of those finals.
He also played one game in the finals in 1955, but lost to Detroit.

The Calder Memorial Trophy is a yearly award given "to the player selected as the most proficient in his first year of competition in the National Hockey League."
The award has been awarded 70 times since its beginnings in 1937.
The voting is conducted by members of the Professional Hockey Writers Association at the conclusion of each regular season to determine the winner.
The trophy is named in honor of Frank Calder, the former President of the National Hockey League from its inception in 1917 to his death in 1943.
Although Rookie Of The Year honors were handed out beginning in 1932–33, the Calder Trophy was first presented at the conclusion of the 1936-37 NHL season.
After Calder's death in 1942 the trophy was renamed the Calder Memorial Trophy.
In 1990, Sergei Makarov of the Calgary Flames became the oldest player, at age 31, to win the Calder, even though he had played professionally in the Soviet Union as a member of HC CSKA Moscow.
After that season, the rules for awarding the Calder were amended so that players could only be eligible if they were 26 years old or younger by September 15 of their rookie season.
To be eligible for the award, a player cannot have played any more than 25 games previously in any single season, nor have played in more than six games in two separate preceding seasons in any major professional league.
The latter fact was perhaps most prominent when in 1979–80, first-year phenom Wayne Gretzky was not eligible to win the Calder Trophy despite scoring 137 points (the previous rookie record at the time being 95), due to him playing a full season the previous year in the World Hockey Association.
The trophy has been won the most times by rookies from the Toronto Maple Leafs, who have won it on nine occasions.
The voting is conducted at the end of the regular season by members of the Professional Hockey Writers Association, and each individual voter ranks their top five candidates on a 10-7-5-3-1 points system.
Three finalists are named and the trophy is awarded at the NHL Awards ceremony after the playoffs.

Rashidun Empire, Islamic Empire ()  or Rashidun Caliphate () are the terms used to describe the empire that was controlled by the first four successors of Muhammad (the "Rightly Guided" caliphs).
The empire was founded after Muhammad's death in 632 and lasted until 'Ali's death in 661.
At its height, the power of the Rashidun Caliphs extended throughout North Africa, the Arabian Peninsula, and the Iranian highlands.
After Muhammad's death in 632, the Medinan Ansar were debating who -among them- should succeed prophet Muhammad in running the affairs of the Muslims.
They chose Abu Bakr.
So he became the first Khalifa Rasul Allah (Successor of the Messenger of God), and started a campaigns to for the Muslim Religion.
At first he  the Arabian tribes which had left the Islamic community.
As a Khalifa or Caliph he was not a monarch and never claimed such a title.
His three successors also never claimed a title as monarch.
The first general of the empire was Khalid ibn Walid.
During his campaign against the Persian Empire(Iraq 633 - 634) and Byzantine Empire (Syria 634 - 638) Khalid developed brilliant tactics.
The Caliph Abu Bakr's way was to give his generals their mission, the geographical area in which that mission would be carried out, and the resources that, could be made available for that purpose.
He would then leave it to his generals to accomplish their mission in whatever manner they chose, on the other hand Caliph Umar in later part of his Caliphate used to direct his generals as to where they would stay and when to move to the next target and who will be commanding the left and right wing of the army in the particular battle, this made the phase of conquest comparatively slower but provided well organized campaigns.
Caliph Uthman used the same method as of Abu Bakr, he would give missions to his generals and then leave it to them how they accomplish it.
Caliph Ali also followed the same method.
The state religion was Islam.
The non-Muslim people were allowed to practice any religion they want to follow.
But the Sharia Law was practiced in the state.
Islam was the guiding force of the Caliphate.
Any act of state was first to be approved by the Qur’an and the Traditions of the Prophet Muhammed.
If there were no such guide lines available then wisdom or Hikmat was used, after which if the act would go against the established principals, norms,system etc.
it was not carried on with.

The African penguin (Spheniscus demersus), also known as the Black-footed or Jackass penguin, is found on the south-western coast of Africa.
It lives in colonies on 24 islands between Namibia and Algoa Bay, near Port Elizabeth, South Africa.
The largest colony on Dyer Island, near Kleinbaai.
Two colonies were established by penguins in the 1980s on the mainland near Cape Town at Boulders Beach near Simon's Town and Stony Point in Betty's Bay.
Mainland colonies probably only became possible in recent times due to fewer predators, although the Betty's Bay colony has been attacked by  leopards.
The only other mainland colony is in Namibia, but it is not known when this was established.
The African penguin may live up to 20 years.
It grows up to 65 cm tall and weighs up to 3 kg.
They eat fish, crabs and squids.
The breeding time is 38 days.
The penguins will allow people to approach them as close as a meter (three ft).

The player keeps the bag full of air by blowing into it with a tube or pumping it with a bellows.
To make music, the bag is pressed and the air comes out through a kind of flute or "chanter".
There are usually one or more other tubes coming from the bag that make sounds whenever the bag is squeezed, called "drones".
Each drone normally plays a different note, and stays on the same note the whole time it is playing, to play a harmony with the "chanter".
The sounds are made by a single or, more commonly, double reed which vibrates when air is blown over it.
Scotland is traditionally linked to the bagpipes, and many pipe tunes come from there.
Many, many other places, however, also have different types of bagpipes: over all of Europe, some of North Africa, and into the Middle East such as the Ottoman Empire.
The Scottish pipes, the Great Pipe, or piob-mohr, first had only one drone pipe.
The second pipe was added in the mid 1500s and the third pipe was added in the 1700s.
The Entertainment Software Rating Board (ESRB) is an organization that rates video games.
Rating is voluntary.
Game publishers do not have to submit their games for ratings.
There are seven ratings: E (Everyone), E10+ (Everyone 10+), T (Teen), M (Mature 17+), AO (Adults Only), and RP (Rating Pending).
Some retailers make people show identification to prove their age if they want to buy M-rated games.
Many retailers will not buy and sell AO games so it is very hard for gamers to find AO-rated games.
On the back of each game's box, the ESRB also rates elements of the game.
The back of Super Princess Peach has the words "comic mischief" on it to tell parents that it contains comic mischief.'''
The AO rating
Some critics come to believe that the ESRB only rates games AO if they have sex in them, regardless of how explicit the language, violence or even blood is.
This also lead them to think the ESRB is not doing its job.
Twenty-three games have received and kept adult ratings, but apparently twenty (almost all) games were given it for sexual themes and content.
Two had violence, and the other one was given the "Adult" rating for real gambling.
"Tone Down" controversy
Some publishers of games decide to tone down the game's explicitness in order to qualify for an "M" rather than an "AO" rating.
For example, the game Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas had an original M rating, but the game that could be unlocked by bypassing the patch, called "Hot Coffee", seemed to spark major controversy  with the game, because it features sex and erotica.
Thus, the ESRB decided to re-rate the game as an AO.
Rockstar Games then chose to leave the game out of the release, then release an exploit fix that completely disallowed access to the game.
However, other games have trouble being "toned down".
Thrill Kill, for instance, was given an AO, and then Electronic Arts decided to purchase the publisher, Virgin Entertainment.
The release of the game was then canceled, and the game never was toned down.
The 2005–06 NHL season was the 88th season of the National Hockey League.

The Carolina Hurricanes defeated the Edmonton Oilers.
This was the first Stanley Cup for the Hurricanes.
The 2004–05 season was cancelled due to a labour dispute with the NHL Players Association.
The dispute was over the Collective Bargaining Agreement (CBA) between the league and its players.

The National Hockey League presents lots of annual awards and trophies to recognize its teams and players.
The oldest, and most notable, is the Stanley Cup.
First awarded in 1893, the Stanley Cup is awarded to the NHL's playoff champion.
The Stanley Cup is the third trophy to be used as the league's championship, as for the first nine years of the NHL's existence, it remained a multiple league challenge cup.
The NHL's first championship trophy was the O'Brien Trophy, which was created by the National Hockey Association in 1910 and was acquired by the NHL in 1918, after which it was awarded to the playoff champion until 1923.
The O'Brien Trophy was retired in favour of the Prince of Wales Trophy in 1924, which became the league's championship until the end of the Western Hockey League following the 1926 season, leaving the Stanley Cup exclusively in the hands of the National Hockey League.
The Prince of Wales Trophy remains an active award.
It is presently awarded to the playoff champion of the Eastern Conference, while the Clarence S. Campbell Bowl, created in 1967, is currently awarded to the Western Conference champion.
The youngest team trophy is the Presidents' Trophy, which has been awarded to the NHL's regular season champion since 1986.
The first individual trophy was the Hart Trophy, first awarded in 1924 to the league's most valuable player.
The Lady Byng Trophy followed a year later, awarded to the most gentlemanly player in the league.
Two years later, the Vezina Trophy was created for the NHL's top goaltender.
The Conn Smythe Trophy was first awarded to the NHL's playoff most valuable player in 1965.
Presently, the NHL has 17 annual individual trophies and awards, the most recently created being the Mark Messier Leadership Award, first awarded in 2007.

Pizmonim (, singular pizmon) are Jewish songs and melodies sung to praise God.
Luca Marenzio  (born Coccaglio, near Brescia, Italy, 18 October?
1553?;
died Rome, 22 August  1599) was an Italian composer who lived in the late Renaissance.
He was one of the best known composers of madrigals.
Marenzio may have been born in 1553.
We think this because his father once wrote down his son’s age.
The date may have been 18 October because that was his saint’s feast day.
He had his early education in Brescia possibly in Mantua.
Then he moved to Rome, where he worked as a singer for Cardinal Cristoforo Madruzzo.
After the cardinal's death he worked at the court of Cardinal Luigi d'Este.
Here he started to become known as a composer.
By 1581 his music had become extremely popular.
His books of madrigals were often reprinted.
His madrigals were often included in published collections.
In 1587 he moved to Florence where he worked for Ferdinando I de' Medici for two years; in 1589 he returned to Rome, where he spent most of his last years, except for a trip to Poland from 1596 to 1597, during which time he worked at the court of Sigismund III Vasa in Warsaw.
It seems from what some people wrote that his trip to Poland ruined his health, and he died in Rome in 1599, shortly after returning from Poland.
Marenzio wrote some religious music: motets, and madrigals based on religious texts.
However, most of his famous music consists of secular (not religious) madrigals.
They were written during a period of twenty years, and they vary a lot in style.
Marenzio published at least fifteen collections of music, mostly madrigals but also canzonette and villanelle.
These were similar to madrigals but very light in character.
Some of his later works are very chromatic: they use harmony that was unusual for the time.
He often makes the music fit the meaning of the words.
This is called word-painting.
For example: the phrase "sinking in the sea" is sung to notes which go lower and lower.
Marenzio’s music had a lot of influence on composers in Italy, as well as in the rest of Europe.
There were several of his madrigals in Musica transalpina, a collection of madrigals published in 1588 by Nicholas Yonge  in England.
Article "Luca Marenzio", in The New Grove Dictionary of Music and Musicians, ed.
Nicholas Yonge (born about 1560; buried October 23, 1619) was an English singer and publisher (his name is an old spelling of the word "Young" and pronounced the same way).
He is most famous for publishing a collection of music called Musica transalpina in (1588).
Music publishing was quite a new thing in those days.
Musica transalpina was a collection of Italian madrigals.
The Italian words of the madrigals were also translated into English.
Musica transalpina had 57 separate pieces by 18 Italian composers, including Alfonso Ferrabosco and Luca Marenzio.
Ferrabosco was living in England at the time.
The publication of this book had a huge influence on music in England.
It made madrigals very popular in England and during the next twenty years composers such as Thomas Morley, John Wilbye and Thomas Weelkes composed a large number of English madrigals.
In 1597 Yonge published a second book of Musica transalpina which was also very influential.
The title Musica transalpina  means: "music from across the Alps" because the music came from Italy which was the other side of the Alps.

Start of The Simpsons
The Simpsons was made by Matt Groening.
He got the idea for the show in the lobby of James L. Brooks's office.
Brooks was the producer of The Tracey Ullman Show.
Brooks wanted to make short films with Groening during comedy sketches in the show.
Groening wanted to make his comic strip Life in Hell as short films.
If he did this, he would have to give up his publication rights for Life in Hell.
He did not want to, so he made the Simpson family.
The family was first seen in the shorts on The Tracey Ullman Show.
The first short they were in was on April 19, 1987.
Groening gave the animators simple sketches.
He thought that the animators would make them look better.
The animators only made the sketches have color.
This made the family look very rough in the shorts.
In 1989, a few production companies wanted to make The Simpsons its own 30 minute television show.
The episodes would be shown on the Fox Broadcasting Company.
Brooks put a statement in a contract that said Fox can not make changes to the episodes.
Groening said that he wanted to give the audience something that was not "mainstream trash" (bad things that many people know).
The show started on December 17, 1989 with "Simpsons Roasting on an Open Fire".
How the episode was made
The Fox Broadcasting Company was worried about The Simpsons.
They thought that their audience would get bored of the show.
They said to the producers that one episode should have three stories that were 7 minutes, and that four episodes would be longer.
They thought that this should happen until the audience liked the show.
The producers got Fox to let them make 13 regular episodes.
