Dord is a ghost word, a word that has no definition.
In 1934, the New International Merriam Webster Dictionary accidentally printed the word, dord.
Philip Babcock Gove was an editor at Merriam-Webster and became editor-in-chief of Webster's Third New International Dictionary.
Gove wrote a letter to the journal American Speech fifteen years after the error was caught.
He explained why "dord" was printed in the second edition of the New International dictionary.
It got through when a slip was sent saying D or d?
Readers could think it was a word, dord.
It only appeared in the second edition of the dictionary.
It was soon caught and taken out.
Dord is the only known ghost word in the Merriam Webster's Dictionary history.

Edwin Stanton Porter (April 21, 1870 – April 30, 1941) was an early movie pioneer and director.
His most important movies are Life of an American Fireman (1903) and The Great Train Robbery (1903).
Life of an American Fireman is a silent movie.
It was made by Edwin S. Porter.

It was distributed early in 1903.
It is one of the earliest American storytelling movies.
It is about the rescue of a woman and child from a burning building.

Movie expert Charles Musser points out that this movie shows that  the social role of firefighters was changing at the time it was made.
Pentane is an organic compound with the chemical formula of .
It is an alkane with five carbon atoms.
Usually, "pentane" represents all three isomers (n-pentane, isopentane and neopentane).
But in the IUPAC, pentane only represents n-pentane.
In the IUPAC, the other two isomers is 2-methylbutane and 2,2-dimethylpropane.
Cyclopentane's chemical formula is , so it is not an isomer of pentane.

Friedrich Gustav Max Schreck (6 September 1879 – 20 February 1936) was a German actor.
He is remembered for his role in the horror movie Nosferatu (1922).
Schreck was born in Berlin-Friedenau, on 6 September 1879.
He received his training at the  (the State Theatre of Berlin).
He completed his studies in 1902.
He made his stage debut in Meseritz and Speyer.
He then toured Germany for two years appearing at theatres in Zittau, Erfurt, Bremen, Lucerne, Gera, and Frankfurt am Main.
Schreck then joined Max Reinhardt's company of performers in Berlin.
Many of Reinhardt's troupe made a significant contribution to movies.
Between 1919 and 1922, Schreck appeared at the Munich Kammerspiele.
He had a role in the expressionist production of Bertolt Brecht's debut,  (Drums in the Night).
He played the "freakshow landlord" Glubb.
During this time he also worked on his first movie Der Richter von Zalamea.
In 1921, he was hired by Prana Film for their first and only movie, Nosferatu.
The company declared itself bankrupt after the movie was released.
They did not want to pay copyright infringement costs to Dracula author Bram Stoker's widow.
Schreck portrayed Count Orlok in the movie.
The character was very similar to Count Dracula.
In 1923, Schreck was still in Munich.
He appeared in a 16-minute (one-reeler) slapstick, "surreal comedy" written by Bertolt Brecht entitled  (Mysteries of a Barbershop).
Schreck appeared as a blind man in the film  (The Street) the same year.
Schreck's second collaboration with Nosferatu director F. W. Murnau was the 1924 comedy  (The Grand Duke's Finances).
Murnau did not like the final product.
In 1926, Schreck returned to the Kammerspiele in Munich.
He continued to act in movies.
He made the transition to "talkies".
He died in 1936 in Munich of a heart attack.
On 19 February 1936, Schreck had just played The Grand Inquisitor in the play .
That evening he felt unwell.
The doctor sent him to the hospital where he died early the next morning His obituary praised his role as The Miser in Molière's comedy play.
He was buried on 14 March 1936 at Wilmersdorfer Waldfriedhof in Berlin.
Schreck was married to actress Fanny Normann.
She appeared in a few movies.
She was often credited as Fanny Schreck.
The word schreck is also the German word for fright, or terror.
Because of this, many authors who were unaware of Schreck's on-stage credits (and ignorant of the rather sparse details of his personal life) speculated that there was really no such person, and that Schreck was, in fact, some well-known actor who had chosen to adopt a pseudonym for his role in Nosferatu.
One of the prime "suspects" was Alfred Abel; however, a careful examination of the photographs of these two actors is sufficient to dispel such notions.
Schreck's contemporaries recalled he was a loner with an unusual sense of humor.
He was skilled in playing grotesque characters.
One reported he lived in "a remote and strange world".
He was said to spend time walking through dark forests.
The person and performance of Max Schreck in Nosferatu has been fictionalized by actor Willem Dafoe in E. Elias Merhige's Shadow of the Vampire.
In a sort of secret history, Shadow posits that Schreck actually was a vampire.
Scriptwriter Daniel Waters created the character Max Shreck for the film Batman Returns and compared him to the character Max Schreck played in Nosferatu.
Variety claimed the name was an in-joke.
Shreck was a character created exclusively for the movie, absent from the comics, and serves as one of the main antagonists.

The Greater Yellowstone Ecosystem is one of the last remaining large, nearly intact ecosystems in the northern temperate zone of the Earth.
It is partly in Yellowstone National Park.
Its management has been controversial: the area is a flagship site for conservation groups that promote ecosystem management.
The Greater Yellow Ecosystem (GYE) is a kind of natural laboratory in landscape ecology and geology.
It is a world-renowned recreational site, and home to the animals of Yellowstone.
The Yellowstone National Park boundaries were drawn in 1872 to include all the geothermal basins in the area.
By the 1970s, the grizzly bear's (Ursus arctos) range in and near the park became the unofficial minimum boundary of a Greater Yellowstone ecosystem.
This had at least .
Since then, definitions of the greater ecosystem's size have steadily grown larger.
A 1994 study listed the size as , while a 1994 speech by a Greater Yellowstone Coalition leader enlarged that to .
In 1985 the United States House of Representatives Subcommittees on Public Lands and National Parks and Recreation held a joint subcommittee hearing on Greater Yellowstone.
The result was a 1986 report by the Congressional Research Service which said that different agencies were not working well together, and the area's essential values were at risk.
There are other areas within the Greater Yellowstone area which are managed by federal authorities.
They include the Gallatin, Custer, Caribou-Targhee, Bridger-Teton and Shoshone National Forests, the John D. Rockefeller, Jr. Memorial Parkway, the National Elk Refuge and Grand Teton National Park.
The GYE also includes some private lands around those managed by the U.S. Government.

It is a 1927 silent movie.
It is a romantic comedy movie.
The story is about a girl who works in a department store.
She sets her sights on her handsome and rich boss.
The movie's star Clara Bow became known as the "It girl".
Dorothy Parker quipped about Bow's character: "It, hell: She had those."
The picture was believed lost, but a copy was found in Prague in the 1960s.
In 2001, It was selected for preservation in the United States National Film Registry by the Library of Congress as being "culturally, historically, or aesthetically significant".
Betty Lou Spence (Clara Bow) has a crush on her handsome boss, Cyrus Waltham, Jr. (Antonio Moreno).
He is the new manager of his father's big department store.
They belong to different social classes.
He is already romantically involved with socialite Adela Van Norman (Jacqueline Gadsden).
Cyrus's silly friend Monty (William Austin) notices Betty.
She uses him to get closer to Cyrus.
When she finally gets Cyrus's attention, she convinces him to take her on a date to Coney Island.
He has a wonderful time.
He tries to kiss her on the way home.
Betty Lou slaps his face.
She hurries out of his car and into her flat.
She then peeks out her window at him as he drives away.
Betty bravely proclaims herself as an unmarried mother to protect her sickly roommate Molly (Priscilla Bonner) from having her baby taken away by a couple of meddling welfare workers.
Monty arrives at just the wrong moment, forcing Betty to continue the charade with him.
He tells Cyrus.
Although he is in love with her, Cyrus offers her an "arrangement" that includes everything but marriage.
Betty Lou, shocked and humiliated, refuses, quits her job, and resolves to forget Cyrus.
When she learns from Monty about Cyrus's misunderstanding, she fumes, and vows to teach her former beau a lesson.
When Cyrus hosts a yachting excursion, Betty Lou makes Monty take her along, masquerading as "Miss Van Cortland".
Cyrus at first wants to remove her from the ship, but he cannot long resist Betty Lou's it factor; he eventually corners her and proposes marriage, but she gets him back, by telling him that she'd "rather marry his office boy", which accomplishes her goal, but breaks her heart.
He then learns the truth about the baby, and leaves Monty at the helm of the yacht to go find her.
Monty crashes the yacht into a fishing boat, tossing both Betty Lou and Adela into the water.
Betty Lou saves Adela, punching her in the face when she panics and threatens to drown them both.
At the end of the movie, she and Cyrus reconcile on the anchor of the yacht, with the first two letters of the ship's name, Itola, between them.
Monty and Adela are upset at losing their friends however, it's implied they pursue a relationship with each other as the movie ends.
The concept of "It"
Elinor Glynn is thought to have invented the concept of It.
Actually, in 1904, R. Kipling, in the short story "Mrs. Bathurst" introduced It.
It isn't beauty, so to speak, nor good talk necessarily.
Some women will stay in a man's memory if they once walk down the street.
In February 1927 Cosmopolitan published a two-part serial story in which Glyn defined It.
That quality possessed by some which draws all others with its magnetic force.
With 'It' you win all men if you are a woman and all women if you are a man. '
It' can be a quality of the mind as well as a physical attraction.
Paramount Pictures paid Glyn $50,000 for the concept.
They gave her a small part in the movie as herself.
She was given a "story and adaptation" credit.
Hope Loring, Louis D. Lighton and George Marion Jr. (titles) wrote the screenplay.
Carl Sandburg noted that Glyn's magazine story was "not at all like the film, not like it in any respect."
This is one of the first examples of a "concept film".
It is also one of the earliest examples of product placement.
The concept of "It" is referred to throughout the movie.
In one scene, Glyn appears as herself to define "It" for Mr. Waltham.
Cosmopolitan Magazine is featured prominently in another scene.
In this scene, the character Monty reads Glyn's story and introduces it to the audience.
Stage actress Dorothy Tree had her first movie role in a small, uncredited part.
A young Gary Cooper was cast in a minor role as a newspaper reporter.
It was a hit with American audiences.
It broke box office records.
Critics praised the movie.
They said Bow was "a joy to behold".

Anthony Perkins (April 4, 1932 - September 12, 1992) was an American actor.
He is best known for his roles in Psycho and its sequels, where he played Norman Bates, a serial killer who suffered from dissociative identity disorder.
Perkins was born in New York City and was the son of actor Osgood Perkins (1892-1937).
He moved to Boston, Massachusetts in 1942.
Perkins was bisexual.
He was married to photographer Berry Berenson (1948-2001) from 1973 until his death from AIDS in Hollywood, Los Angeles, California in 1992.
The couple had two sons, actor Oz (born 1974) and musician Elvis (born 1976).
Berenson was killed in the September 11 terrorist attacks.
She was aboard American Airlines Flight 11 when it was hijacked and crashed into the World Trade Center.

The MIM code
Every disease and gene is given a six digit number.
The first digit in each number tells how the gene or disease is inherited (passed from one generation to the next).
If the initial digit is 1, the trait is autosomal dominant; if 2, autosomal recessive; if 3, X-linked.
Each trait defined in this dictionary has a MIM number, the number from the 12th edition of MIM.
The MIM number is printed in square brackets with or without an asterisk (asterisks indicate that the mode of inheritance is known; a number symbol (#) before an entry number means that the phenotype can be caused by mutation in any of two or more genes) as appropriate.
For example, Pelizaeus-Merzbacher disease [MIM #312080] is an X-linked recessive disorder.

Un ballo in maschera (A Masked Ball) is an Italian opera in three acts.
The libretto was written by Antonio Somma.
It is based on Eugène Scribe's Gustave III ou Le Bal Masqué.
The opera was first performed at the Teatro Appollo in Rome, on February 17, 1859.
One of Verdi's richest  middle-period works, it relates the events surrounding the assassination of King Gustav III of Sweden, but because of censorship, the story was transposed to 17th century Boston, with Gustav becoming an English governor, Richard of Warwick.
Nowadays, most productions present the opera in its original Swedish setting.

Aboriginal land rights in Australia are the special set of rights given to Indigenous Australians to own land.
There are many different types of land rights laws.
They all allow the government to grant land to indigenous (native) Australians under many different conditions (terms).
Land rights schemes are in place in the Northern Territory, Queensland, New South Wales, South Australia, and Victoria.
Under these laws, the title to the land is normally given to a community or ethnic group, not an individual.
Usually, land that has been granted in a land rights claim can not be sold, traded, or mortgaged.
Grants will be normally require that the land be passed down to future generations through inheritance.
The passing of Aboriginal land rights laws in Australia was caused by many important Aboriginal protests.
It was not until the 1970s, though, that there came an organised movement for the recognition of Aboriginal land rights.
Pilbara strike
On 1 May 1946, more than 800 Aboriginal stockmen in the Pilbara region of Western Australia went on strike.
They demanded wages for their work.
They were joined by other Aboriginal workers from the towns of Port Hedland and Marble Bar.
The strike ended in 1949.
Yolngu bark petition
In 1963, the government turned part of the Yolngu people's traditional lands (in Arnhem Land) into a bauxite mine.
The Yolngu started a petition (now called the Yirrkala bark petitions) to demand the rights to these lands.
The petition was turned into a legal case.
Mining went ahead anyway, and the legal case went on for 41 years.
The Yolngu were finally made a part of the agreement between the government and the mining company in 2011.
In 1964 and 1965, students from the University of Sydney formed a group called the Student Action for Aboriginals.
They travelled into New South Wales country towns to research segregation between native and non-native people.
They led protests to get people to know about the issue of Aboriginal civil rights.
It became known as the Freedom Ride movement.
At the time, Aboriginal people were not counted in the census and their civil rights were different to white citizens.
This changed in 1967, when a referendum gave Aborigines the same rights as white Australians.
Wave Hill walkoff
The Wave Hill walk-off was in August 1966.
A total of 200 Gurindji stockmen and servants at Wave Hill cattle station went on strike to demand wages and the return of some of their traditional lands.
The strike went for nine years.
The demand was not met, but the Gurindji stayed camped on their traditional country.
They chose to break the state's law but obey their own.
It raised popular support for Aboriginal land rights.
Supporters in the cities rallied for the Gurindji and eventually they won title to part of their land.
State and territory laws
Aboriginal Land Rights Act 1976
In 1973, an Aboriginal Land Rights Commission was created in the Northern Territory.
This royal commission said that the government should recognise Aboringal Land Rights, and gave advice for passing laws on it.
Prime Minister Gough Whitlam took the advice and brought a Land Rights Bill to parliament.
It was changed by the next prime minister, Malcolm Fraser, and passed by the Governor-General on 16 December 1976.
In 1976, the Territory government passed the first Aboriginal land rights law in the country.
It allowed Aboriginal people in the Territory to claim rights to land that their ancestors had lived on before the arrival of white people.
Groups that made claims had to show proof of their traditional (historical) association with the land.
This ended up giving almost 50% of land in the Northern Territory (around ) to native groups.
Before this act, there had been many "indigenous reserves" in the Northern Territory.
This land was owned by the government and set aside for Aboriginal people to live on until they were assimilated into white society.
When the act was put into effect, the old "reserves" were given to the Aboriginal groups living on them without them having to make a claim.

It stars Harold Lloyd.
The image of Lloyd clutching the hands of a large clock as he dangles from the outside of a skyscraper above moving traffic is well known.
The movie was very successful and critically hailed.
It cemented Lloyd's status as a major figure in early movies.
It is still popular with movie buffs.
Lloyd performed some of his climbing stunts despite losing a thumb and forefinger in an accident while making a movie four years earlier.

Mario Cashmere Manningham (born May 25, 1986) is an American football wide receiver who currently plays for the San Francisco 49ers of the National Football League.
He was drafted by the New York Giants in the third round of the 2008 NFL Draft.
Manningham finished 2006 with a total 38 receptions 703 yards and nine touchdowns.
He was named Big Ten Offensive Player of the Week two weeks in a row, first against Notre Dame and then against Wisconsin.
After the 2007 season, Manningham opted to forgo (forget, not do) his eligibility for his senior year in 2008 and entered the NFL Draft.
He finished his career at Michigan with 137 receptions for 2,310 yards and 27 touchdowns.
Those marks (in order) placed him ninth, fifth, and fourth in school history.
During rookie training camp, Manningham said that he looked forward to playing with fellow former Michigan Wolverine Amani Toomer, who was with New York at the time.
Manningham signed a four-year deal worth up to $2.3 million as a rookie.
Manningham kicked off the 2009 NFL season by catching three passes for 58 yards and a touchdown en route to the Giants' 23-17 win over the Washington Redskins.
He followed this up by catching 10 passes for 150 yards and a juggling sliding catch for a touchdown in the Giants' 33-31 win over the Dallas Cowboys.
2011 season
On February 5, 2012, Manningham made a catch in the fourth quarter of Superbowl XLVI to set up the win against the Patriots.
Trailing by 2 points with 3 minutes 46 seconds remaining, the Giants started the winning drive.
Eli Manning lofted a long pass down the left sideline to Mario Manningham, who kept his feet inbounds by inches with two defenders around him.
The Giants went on to beat the New England Patriots 21-17.
Manningham ended the game with 5 catches for 73 yards.
Most people think that he will not return to the Giants.
Manningham  had reportedly been removed from "multiple teams'" draft boards due to alleged marijuana use in college.
Mario denied testing positive at first, then sent a letter to all 32 teams saying he lied.
Manningham claimed he failed two drug tests.
Bob McGinn of the Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel reported that Manningham scored a 6 out of 50 on the Wonderlic exam.
This along with several other problems caused his draft value to drop.

Broken Blossoms, or The Yellow Man and the Girl is a silent movie directed by D. W. Griffith.
It was distributed by United Artists.
It premiered on May 13, 1919.
It tells the story of a young girl who is abused by her alcoholic father.
She meets a kind-hearted Chinese man who falls in love with her.
The movie is based on Thomas Burke's short story The Chink and the Child.
In 1996, Broken Blossoms was selected for preservation in the United States National Film Registry by the Library of Congress as being "culturally, historically, or aesthetically significant".
Cheng Huan (Richard Barthelmess) leaves his native China.
He "dreams to spread the gentle message of Buddha to the Anglo-Saxon lands."
His idealism fades in London’s brutal and gritty inner-city.
He meets and grows devoted to the "broken blossom" Lucy Burrows (Lillian Gish).
She is the beautiful but unwanted and abused daughter of prizefighter Battling Burrows (Donald Crisp).
After being beaten and discarded one evening by her raging father, Lucy finds sanctuary in the beautiful and exotic room above Cheng's shop.
As Cheng nurses Lucy back to health, the two form a bond as two unwanted outcasts of society.
When Lucy’s father gets wind of his daughter's whereabouts, he drags her back to their home to punish her.
Fearing for her life, Lucy locks herself inside a closet to escape her brutal father.
By the time Cheng arrives to rescue Lucy, it is too late.
Lucy’s lifeless body lies on her bed as her father drinks in another room.
Cheng gazes at Lucy’s youthful face which, in spite of the circumstances, beams with innocence.
Her father enters the room to make his escape.
The two stand for a long while, exchanging spiteful glances, until Battling Burrows lunges for Cheng with a hatchet.
Cheng retaliates by shooting Burrows repeatedly with his handgun.
After returning to his home with Lucy’s body, Cheng builds a shrine to Buddha and takes his own life with a knife to the stomach.
The 'closet scene'
The most-discussed scene in Broken Blossoms is the "closet" scene.
Gish writhes in the claustrophobic space like a tortured animal who knows there is no escape.
Critic Richard Schickel writes, "It is heartbreaking – yet for the most part quite delicately controlled by the actress.
Barthelmess reports that her hysteria was induced by Griffith’s taunting of her.
Gish claims that she improvised the child’s tortured movements on the spot and that when she finished the scene there was a hush on stage.
Griffith then exclaimed, 'My God, why didn’t you warn me you were going to do that?'”.
The scene also demonstrates Griffith's ability to create an aural effect with only an image.
Gish's screams apparently attracted such a crowd outside the studio that people needed to be held back.

A second movie of Monsters, Inc. had been planned since 2005.
Following disagreements between then-Disney CEO Michael Eisner and then-Pixar owner Steve Jobs, Disney (who at the time owned the rights to make sequels to all of Pixar's films until the movie Cars was released) announced that a sequel to Monsters, Inc. would be made by Circle 7 Animation.
Circle 7 were also working on an early draft of Toy Story 3 at the time.
The movie was originally going to be named Monsters, Inc. 2: Lost in Scaradise.
The movie would have been about Mike and Sulley visiting the human world to give Boo a birthday present.
However, they find out that she had moved to a different house.
After getting trapped in the human world, Mike and Sulley split up after disagreeing on what to do (Sulley wanting to look for Boo, Mike wanting to find a way to get back to Monstropolis).
Screenwriters Rob Muir and Bob Hilgenberg were hired to write the script.
They storyboarded an early draft of the script.
A sequel made by Pixar was officially announced in 2010.
The movie was originally planned to be released on November 16, 2012.
However, it was later changed to November 2, 2012 (eleven years to the day after the release of its predecessor) to avoid direct competition with The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn – Part 2.
On April 5, 2011, it was announced that the film's release date had been pushed back farther to June 21, 2013 due to the success of Pixar movies that are released in the summer.
This is according to Disney distribution executive Chuck Viane.
It will be the studios' fourteenth feature film.
In early 2011, there were claims that Monsters, Inc. 2 was going to be a prequel which focuses on Sulley and Mike's studies at the University of Fear, where they start off as rivals but soon become best friends.
This is similar to how Woody and Buzz Lightyear start off in the first Toy Story.
On March 29, 2011, it was confirmed that the movie will indeed be a prequel and the new title Monsters University was shown.
The movie will be directed by Dan Scanlon and produced by Kori Rae.
It was also announced that John Goodman, Billy Crystal and Steve Buscemi will be reprising their roles.
New voice cast includes Dave Foley, Julia Sweeney, Joel Murray, and Peter Sohn.
On August 12, 2011 Billy Crystal went to a 20th anniversary screening of City Slickers.
When he was asked about his return to the role of Mike Wazowski he said, "That's why I'm a little hoarse.
I spent five-and-a-half hours today for our fourth session on Monsters Inc. 2."
Crystal has said that he and co-star John Goodman are having a blast together and describes the script as "really great" and "hilarious".
Crystal also gave little details of the story of the movie.
He described, "It's college pranks with monsters.
And I wear a retainer.
Mike has a retainer."

Chelation refers to the bonding of elemental atoms that cannot normally be bonded.
For example, Sodium is a metal element that can bond with many other elements, like chlorine (forming common table salt: NaCl), or hydrogen and oxygen (Sodium hydroxide).
The reason for this is that the way that atoms bond with each other is similar to a jigsaw puzzle: Only the proper shape can fit into the empty space made by the other pieces.
However, with atoms, it's a bit different.
For each element, the atom carries a certain number of electrons in orbit around its nucleus.
Sometimes these orbits are split into levels, and only a certain number of electrons can fill each orbit before moving to a higher orbit.
Sometimes, an orbit level is not filled all the way and can only be filled with electrons from another element with a smaller number of electrons in a higher level.
When the atoms bond together, the electrons are traded between the two equally and create a very strong bond.
However, there are a few elements that cannot bond with many other elements, because they have orbits that are already filled, or nearly filled, equally. (
Like a finished jigsaw puzzle) These elements can sometimes be poisonous to a human, and cannot be removed easily (for example, mercury.)
Chelation enables a non-bonding element to bond, thereby enabling removal.
