Steve Hickner is an American animator and director who directed Bee Movie and The Prince of Egypt.
Paul Steven Bostaph (born 4 March 1964 in San Francisco, California) is an American metal drummer who is currently performing with the thrash metal band Slayer.
He began his drumming career in 1984, and has since worked with bands like Forbidden, Exodus, Systematic, and Testament.
Metal-Rules.com described Bostaph as "a true professional and one of the best drummers on today's metal music scene."
Bostaph first wanted to play the bass guitar, but later chose the drums because he found a kit that was cheaper than a bass.
He listened to The Beatles and The Beach Boys, but AC/DC got him into rock drumming.
He bought his first drum kit at the age of 15 and decided to become a metal drummer after listening to Killers by Iron Maiden.
He was also influenced by bands like ELO, Blue Öyster Cult and Black Sabbath.
His biggest drumming inspirations are Phil Rudd, Clive Burr, Tommy Aldridge, Nicko McBrain, Cozy Powell, Jeff Porcaro, Steve Smith, Dave Lombardo, and Tommy Lee.
Forbidden (1985–1992)
Bostaph played drums for Forbidden from 1985–1992, playing on their first two studio albums, Forbidden Evil and Twisted into Form.
He also played on their 1989 live EP Raw Evil: Live at the Dynamo.
Slayer and solo work
After drummer Dave Lombardo of Slayer left in 1992, the band was looking for a new drummer.
Lombardo's drum tech was filling in but kept on making errors.
After auditioning several drummers and listening to hundreds of demo tapes, Bostaph was recommended by Slayer guitarist Kerry King's guitar technician.
Slayer members listened to some Forbidden records, however, they did not see how Bostaph could fit in Slayer – Lombardo's style was "over the top", while Forbidden was more melodic.
Slayer auditioned Bostaph with nine songs, and he made only one error on "Angel of Death".
Bostaph had to practice a lot to improve the strength of his hands and feet; "I respected and loved Dave's drumming but as a fan, if they got a new drummer and I bought a ticket to a show, I would expect to hear the stuff that Dave does, that's what I would want.
So, I went in and every time I had to learn a new song I would play them exactly how Dave played them".
Bostaph recorded four albums with Slayer; his least favorite is 1994's Divine Intervention.
This is due to the guitars not being loud enough as they were in the recording session, the band moving around to several recording studios, and a producer who had never done any heavy metal music.
The producer changed near the end of recording to Toby Wright – Bostaph stating "that record never had any consistency to it although a lot of fans still like it."
Bostaph left the band in 1996 to concentrate on his solo project, Truth About Seafood, and was replaced by Jon Dette; however, he returned in 1997.
His second favorite album is 2001's God Hates Us All; "The whole era that I was with the band that was the album that was the most well-rounded and mixed the best" with Diabolus in Musica.
Bostaph left Slayer after the release of God Hates Us All, after a chronic elbow injury he had received restricted his ability to play. (
although he later said that he actually left because "Musically, I wanted to do something else".)
His third last performance with the band is recorded on the DVD War at the Warfield recorded on December 7, 2001.
Bostaph is yet to watch it as he feels "It's like breaking up with a girlfriend" and needs to move on with his life.
He remained friends with the Slayer members, and when asked if he would work with them in the future, he replied "sure".
Bostaph was temporarily replaced by original Slayer drummer Dave Lombardo, which later proved to be a permanent arrangement until 2013, when the band announced he has replaced Lombardo for the second time.

In chemistry, a homologous series is a series of chemical compounds with the same general formula.
Usually these compounds vary by a single parameter such as the length of a carbon chain.
Examples of such series are the straight-chained alkanes (paraffins), and some of their derivatives (such as the primary alcohols, aldehydes, and (mono)carboxylic acids).
Compounds within a homologous series typically have a fixed set of functional groups that gives them similar chemical and physical properties.
For example, the series of primary straight-chained alcohols has an hydroxyl at the end of the carbon chain.
These properties typically change gradually along the series, and the changes can often be explained by small differences in molecular size and mass.

The Shenandoah Valley  (nicknamed  "The Big Valley" ) is a geographic valley and cultural region of western Virginia and the Eastern Panhandle of West Virginia in the United States.
The valley is bounded on the east by the Blue Ridge Mountains.
On the west it is bounded by the eastern front of the Appalachians.
To the north it goes to the Potomac River and to the south by the James River.
The cultural region covers a larger area that includes all of the valley plus the Virginia highlands to the west, and the Roanoke Valley to the south.
The Valley is about  long.
It is the home of two well-known universities, James Madison and Shenandoah University.
For nearly 11,000 years before the Europeans came, Native Americans lived in the Shenandoah Valley.
The first European to visit the area was probably a Jesuit priest in 1632.
However, the first European credited with exploring the Valley was a German doctor named John Lederer in 1669.
In the 1600s, Englishmen were told about the large forests which included chestnut trees as tall as .
It is named for the river that stretches much of its length.
The Shenandoah Valley has eight counties in Virginia and two counties in West Virginia.
At Harpers Ferry the Shenandoah River joins the Potomac.
The Valley's cultural region contains 10 independent cities:

Reductio ad Hitlerum, also known as playing the Hitler card, is a logical fallacy described  by Leo Strauss, a philosopher, in 1951.
It happens when someone compares their opponent's view with Hitler or something that he did.
It is a form of ad hominem, distracting from the argument by criticizing the opponent.
It works because in the modern world, people think of Nazism as a bad thing.
Person 1 suggests that X is true.
Person 2 says that Hitler said that too, and so X is not true.
Leo Strauss (September 20, 1899 – October 18, 1973) was a German-American political philosopher and classicist who became an expert on political philosophy.
He was born in Germany to Jewish parents and later went to the United States.
He spent most of his time as a teacher of political science at the University of Chicago, where he taught students and put into print 15 books.

Per capita income or average income is the average amount of money a person gets in a year.
It is found by dividing the amount of money in an area by the number of people living there.
Per capita income is often used to measure an area's average income.
The currency used is often the euro or the US dollar as they are widely used international currencies.
It has been criticised for not accounting for inflation.
This means that it overstates economic growth.
It also means that a small number of wealthy people can increase the country's per capita income whilst the rest of the population experience no change.
It does not account for the differences in the cost of living between countries.

A booby trap is a device or setup that is intended to kill, harm or surprise a person.
It is usually triggered by the actions of the victim who did not know the booby trap was there.
During the Vietnam War nearly 70% of American casualties were due to booby traps.
In war, booby traps are a form of psychological warfare.
They are designed to make soldiers slow down and be very cautious.
As the word trap implies, they sometimes have some form of bait to attract the victim.
At other times, the trap is set to act upon trespassers that come into personal or restricted areas.
The device can be triggered when the victim performs some type of everyday action.
For example opening a door, picking something up or switching something on.
They can also be triggered by vehicles driving along a road such as an improvised explosive devices (IED's).
Often booby traps are placed in a choke point where people or vehicles would normally move through.
Lethal booby traps are often used in warfare, particularly guerrilla warfare.
Traps designed to cause injury or pain are sometimes used by criminals wanting to protect drugs or other illicit property.
They are also used some owners of legal property who wish to protect it from theft.

For the province, see Jeju-do.
Jejudo (also known as Jeju Island) is the largest island off the coast of the Korean Peninsula.
It is the main island of Jeju Province of South Korea.
The island lies in the Korea Strait, southwest of South Jeolla Province.
The island contains the natural World Heritage Site Jeju Volcanic Island and Lava Tubes.
The highest point in South Korea is the Island's dormant volcano, Hallasan, which stands  above sea level.
Jejudo has a temperate climate.
Even in winter, the temperature rarely falls below .
The Island is a popular place for Korean newlyweds to honeymoon.
Jeju Island is 73 km wide from east to west and 31 km wide from north to south.
Most of Jeju Island is made out of volcanic rocks from the Holocene era.
First, the basalt lava erupted to make the Hallasan shield volcano about 2 million years ago.
Hallasan was still active into recorded history, but it is not active now.
Then this first layer of volcanic rock was covered up with sediment.
Then there was another set of eruptions, which made most of the rock on the surface of Jeju Island today.
In the third round of volcanic activity, Hallasan grew to its current, tall height, 1950 m.

Princess Anne of Bourbon-Parma, also known as Queen Anne of Romania (Anne Antoinette Françoise Charlotte Zita Marguerite of Bourbon-Parma, 18 September 1923 – 1 August 2016), was the wife of former king Michael I of Romania.
Anne was born in Paris, France, the only daughter of Prince René of Bourbon-Parma and Princess Margaret of Denmark.
Anne was the younger sister of Prince Jacques of Bourbon-Parma and elder sister to Prince Michel of Bourbon-Parma who married Princess Maria Pia of Savoy (eldest child of King Umberto II of Italy and Queen Marie José), and Prince André of Bourbon-Parma.
As a granddaughter of Robert I, Duke of Parma she was first cousin to: King Boris III of Bulgaria; Robert Hugo, Duke of Parma; Princess Alicia, Dowager Duchess of Calabria; Carlos Hugo, Duke of Parma; Crown Prince Otto of Austria; and Grand Duke Jean of Luxembourg.
In 1939 Anne's family fled from the Nazi Germans and escaped to Spain, then to Portugal finally to the United States.
She attended the Parsons School of Design in New York City from 1940 to 1943.
She also worked as a sales assistant at Macy's department store.
In 1943 she joined the French Army as an ambulance driver.
She served in Algeria, Morocco, Italy, Luxembourg and Germany.
She received the French Croix de guerre for her wartime service.
In November 1947, Anne met King Michael I of Romania who was visiting London for the wedding of Princess Elizabeth and Philip Mountbatten, Duke of Edinburgh.
They met several times in London, always with her mother or brother.
Michael asked her to marry him.
Michael returned to Romania, where he was told by the prime minister it was not the right tine to announce the wedding.
A few days later, the government said the wedding was the reason for Michael's sudden "abdication".
In fact the king was deposed by the Communists on 30 December.
Anne was a Catholic and under their rules, she needed the church's permission to marry Michael who was not a Catholic.
This permission could be given if Michael agreed to allow their future children to be raised as Catholics.
Michael refused to do this, as it was against the laws of Romania, and it would make it impossible for him to regain his position as king.
The Holy See refused to grant permission for the wedding.
The two families decided to take their case to the Vatican.
In early March, the couple's mothers met with Pope Pius XII who also refused permission for Anne to marry Michael.
Anne and Michael decided to marry without church permission.
Anne's paternal uncle, Xavier, Duke of Parma, said he objected to the marriage that did not have the Pope's permission.
He also told  Anne's parents not to attend the wedding.
Anne's family was represented at the ceremony by her maternal uncle, Prince Eric of Denmark.
The wedding ceremony was held on 10 June 1948 in Athens, Greece, in the throne room of the Royal Palace.
The ceremony was performed by Archbishop Damaskinos.
Guests at the wedding included: Helen, Queen Mother of Romania, Michael's aunts Queen Frederica, Princess Irene of Greece and Denmark, Duchess of Aosta, Princess Katherine of Greece and Denmark; his cousins Alexandra, Queen Consort of Yugoslavia, Prince Amedeo, Duke of Aosta, King Paul of Greece, Princess Sophia of Greece and Denmark, Crown Prince Constantine of Greece and Princess Irene of Greece and Denmark, the three youngest ones serving as bridesmaids and pageboys; Anne's maternal uncle Prince Eric of Denmark; Princess Nicholas of Greece and Denmark, Prince George William of Hanover and many others.
After their wedding in 1948, Anne and Michael lived in Hertfordshire for four years.
They became market gardeners and farmed poultry.
In 1956 they moved to Versoix on Lake Geneva, and raised five daughters there.
In 1992 Anne and Michael visited Romania for three days; it was Anne's first visit to the country.
From 1993 to 1997, Michael was refused entry to Romania by the Romanian government.
Anne visited the country a number of times representing her husband.
After 1997, there were no restrictions on Anne and Michael's entry into Romania.
Elisabeta Palace was made available for them to use, and they recovered some properties from the state, including Săvârşin Castle and Peleş Castle.
In June 2008, Anne and Michael celebrated their 60th Wedding Anniversary, with three days of events in Romania.
Events included a concert by the George Enescu Philharmonic Orchestra at the Romanian Athenaeum, an official reception at Athenee Palace in Bucharest, and book launch at the National Museum of Romanian History.
Anne died on 1 August 2016 in a hospital in Morges, Switzerland, at the age of 92.
The family refused a posthumous military medal.
Romania's President Klaus Iohannis said "Her Majesty Queen Ana of Romania will remain forever in memory and in our hearts as one of the most important symbols of wisdom, dignity and, especially, as a model of moral conduct."
The government made 13 August 2016 a national day of mourning.
The Romanian flag was flown at half-mast on all buildings.
Television and radio broadcasts were told to make their programs suitable for the memory of Anne of Romania.
The funeral was held at the Curtea de Argeș Cathedral.
The government of Moldova also held a national day of mourning on 13 August in memory of Queen Anne, asking for everyone to observe a moment of silence at 10 am on that day.

Colin Bean (15 April 1926 – 20 June 2009) was an English actor.
He was best known for his role as Private Sponge in the BBC comedy series Dad's Army.
He appeared in 45 episodes between 1968 and 1977.
He also had roles in Are You Being Served?,
Hi-de-Hi!
and Z Cars.
Bean was born in Wigan, Lancashire (now Greater Manchester).
He died on 20 June 2009, aged 83.
Ambrose Powell Hill, Jr. (1825–1865) was a career United States Army officer from Virginia who resigned and served as a Confederate States Army general and died near the end of the American Civil War.
He had started his military career in 1847, graduating from the United States Military Academy at West Point, 15th out of a class of 38.
While at the academy, he and his roommate George B. McClellan became close friends.
He served during the last part of the Mexican-American War in Texas.
He served during the Seminole War of 1849–50 in Florida.
Hill is best known for commanding the "Light Division" under General Thomas "Stonewall" Jackson.
The Hill family had come to Virginia two centuries before the Civil War.
The earliest family members (then spelled "Hull") traced back to 12th century England.
Henry and William Hill of Shropshire came to Virginia in 1630.
They settled in Middlesex County, Virginia.
Both brothers were tobacco farmers and both had large families.
In 1740, Russel Hill, William's great-grandson, moved to Culpepper County, Virginia.
His son, Henry Hill served in the American Revolutionary War under Colonel Henry "Light Horse Harry" Lee.
His son, Thomas Hill, was a farmer, merchant, and politician.
He married Fannie Russel Baptist.
Together they had four sons followed by three daughters.
Their fourth son was Ambrose Powell Hill, Jr.
On November 9, 1825, Ambrose Powell Hill, Jr., was born at Greenland, his father's plantation near Culpepper, Virginia.
But all throughout his childhood, he was called Powell.
He went to the local schools.
Hill wanted to go into the military, and in 1842 he was admitted to West Point.
But he did not graduate in 1846 with the rest of his class because he missed a year due to illness.
Graduating in 1847, he was posted to the U.S. 1st Artillery.
After serving in the Mexican-American War, he was sent to Texas, then Florida.
Hill came down with Yellow fever, typhoid fever, and malaria.
During the 1850s he was sick much of the time and was confined to his bed.
When he recovered, he was assigned to the Coast Surveying Department (now the U.S. National Geodetic Survey).
When President Abraham Lincoln was inaugurated in March 1861, Hill was among the U.S. Army officers who resigned their commissions and joined the Confederacy.
He was given command of the 13th Virginia Infantry with the rank of colonel.
At the First Battle of Bull Run, his regiment was held in reserve.
In February 1862 he was promoted to brigadier general.
In the Peninsula Campaign, he fought against his former West Point roommate, Union General George McClellan.
Proving himself as an aggressive leader, he was promoted again on May 26, 1862.
This made him the Confederate Army's youngest major general.
Hill called his division "the Light Division" even though it was one of the Confederate Army's larger divisions.
This was probably because of how fast Hill could move his troops.
He was known as a fearless general and was often seen in battle at the front lines.
Hill-Longstreet feud
Without any encouragement from Hill, he was being regularly written about by a former aide, John M. Daniel.
Wounded, Daniel had left the army and was now the editor of the Richmond Examiner, a three-cent newspaper popular with Confederate soldiers.
Soon, Daniel was making Hill out to be Lee's top general to the exclusion of other generals.
This did not sit well with Lieutenant General James Longstreet, as Hill's commanding officer.
The final straw came in the July 2 edition of The Examiner.
Daniel wrote that Hill had taken command of all of Longstreet's forces when Longstreet was absent from the battle for a period of time.
Longstreet was angered at this and saw it as a lie.
Longstreet decided to write his own article refuting Daniel's claims about Hill at the battle.
In a rival newspaper, the Richmond Whig, Longstreet directed Major Moxley Sorrel to submit a public response under Sorrel's own name.
This started a very public feud between the two generals.
Lee became aware of the feud but decided not to do anything about it.
When Hill refused to read any dispatches sent by Sorrel, Longstreet's aide, Longstreet became furious.
He ordered Hills arrest.
While under arrest, Hill's Light Division was commanded by generals J.R. Anderson, then Lawrence O'Bryan Branch.
At this point Hill regarded this as questioning his honor.
The two kept up hostile communications and a time and place was selected for a duel.
At this point, Lee stepped in and made the two generals come to an agreement.
Hill was restored to his command and was assigned to General Stonewall Jackson.
As time passed, Hill and Longstreet became friendly again.
Sorrel was later promoted to major general and found himself under the command of Hill.
Army of the Shenandoah
At the Battle of Cedar Mountain in August 1862, Hill proved himself valuable to his new Corps commander.
His Light Division played a key role in helping Jackson win a victory over the Union army.
At the Second Battle of Bull Run, Hill's division nearly ran out of ammunition but stood their ground against every Federal attack.
At the Battle of Chancellorsville in May 1863, Jackson ordered Hill's division to the front in preparation for a night attack.
Meanwhile, Jackson was personally doing reconnaissance.
As he returned he was fired on by his own men, mortally wounding the general.
J.E.B. Stuart took over command and called off the night attack.
Chancellorsville was a Confederate victory.
Corps commander
Hill was promoted to lieutenant general after Jackson's death and was now in command of Lee's Third Corps in the Army of the Potomac.
Hill's corps was at the Battle of Gettysburg from July 1–3, 1863.
He was criticised for making questionable decisions.
On the first day, he engaged the Union before all of the Confederate army had arrived.
At the Battle of Bristoe Station on October 14, 1863, Hill's Corps attacked two Union corps who were slowly retreating north.
One of Hill's divisions was badly beaten, and one artillery battery was lost.
After reinforcing his line, Hill was not able to make any progress against the Union corps who were dug in behind the Orange and Alexandria Railroad embankment.
On May 5, 1864, at the place known as the Wilderness in Spotsylvania County, Virginia, Confederate and Union forces battled for two days.
Hill's Corps battled two Union corps both days and were on the verge of falling back when Longstreet's Texas Brigade reinforced Hill and pushed the Federals back.
Hill was killed on April 2, 1865 at the Third Battle of Petersburg.
He was just returning from sick leave and riding to the front to join his men when he was killed by a shot from an enemy soldier.
