Accademia () fu il nome con il quale fu conosciuta la scuola fondata da Platone ad Atene.

Fondata nel 387 a.C., esistette, seppur attraverso varie fasi, fino a dopo la morte di Filone di Larissa. Anche se vari filosofi continuarono ad insegnare la filosofia platonica ad Atene in epoca romana, fu solo all'inizio del V secolo che una nuova scuola venne fondata come centro del neoplatonismo e cessò la sua attività nel 529, quando l'imperatore Giustiniano I ordinò la chiusura di tutte le scuole filosofiche pagane nell'impero bizantino, in cui il cristianesimo era stato imposto come religione di Stato.

Rappresentò per tutta l'età antica il simbolo della filosofia platonica e ancora Plutarco, in piena età imperiale, definiva se stesso e i pensatori che come lui si rifacevano a Platone come "accademici" (akademikoi).

Sito

Nel IV secolo a.C. veniva indicata come "Accademia" un'area di proprietà pubblica situata a nord-ovest della città di Atene, vicino al villaggio di Colono. L'area, ricca di alberi, comprendeva luoghi di culto, un ginnasio, e un boschetto sacro di ulivi dedicato ad Atena, la dea della saggezza; era perimetrata da un muro fatto costruire da Cimone. L'area poteva essere raggiunta dalla città uscendo dalla porta del Dipylon e attraversando il cimitero del Ceramico. Il luogo era noto come Hekademia (in greco: Ἑκαδήμεια), poi mutatosi, in epoca classica, in Accademia, dal nome dell'eroe ateniese Academo.

Origini dell'Accademia

Fu in quest'area che, secondo la tradizione, nel 387 a.C. Platone fondò la celebre scuola filosofica.
La data non è del tutto certa. A quanto riferiscono Diogene Laerzio e Filodemo di Gadara, Platone fondò l'Accademia al ritorno dai suoi viaggi in Sicilia, dopo aver abbandonato Siracusa in seguito a contrasti con il tiranno Dionisio il Vecchio; Platone, ceduto a mercanti e messo in vendita come schiavo, sarebbe stato acquistato dal filosofo Anniceride, che lo liberò e acquistò il terreno nell'Accademia dove Platone si stabilì.

Tale scuola era caratterizzata da una vita in comune tra maestro e discepoli. Sul piano giuridico essa era un'associazione religiosa, dedita al culto di Apollo e delle Muse.

L'Accademia platonica

Platone fu scolarca dell'Accademia dalla sua fondazione. All'interno della scuola egli insegnò alcune dottrine che, a quanto ne riferisce Aristotele, differivano da quelle contenute nei suoi dialoghi, ed erano più profondamente influenzate dal pitagorismo. Alla morte di Platone (347 a.C.) la direzione della scuola passò a Speusippo, probabilmente per designazione dello stesso Platone. Speusippo potrebbe essere stato scelto per diversi motivi: perché figlio della sorella di Platone, perché più anziano degli altri allievi, e perché particolarmente dotato. Le sue posizioni filosofiche sembrano essere state alquanto diverse da quelle del maestro. Alla morte di Speusippo (339 a.C.) i partecipanti all'Accademia elessero come capo Senocrate, che cercò di conciliare le posizioni di Platone con quelle di Speusippo e resse la scuola fino alla sua morte nel 314 a.C.

Secondo quanto riportato da Filodemo di Gadara, tra gli allievi di Platone, oltre a Speusippo e Senocrate vi furono: Eraclide Pontico, Aminta, Menedemo di Pirra, Estieo di Perinto, Aristotele, Cherone di Pellene, Dione di Siracusa (cognato del tiranno Dionisio il Vecchio), Ermodoro di Siracusa, Erasto di Scepsi, Archita di Taranto, e altri di cui non si sa quasi nulla. Vi furono anche due donne, Lastenia di Mantinea e Assiotea di Fliunte, che tuttavia tenevano vesti maschili. Secondo Diogene Laerzio tra gli accademici vi furono anche Filippo di Opunte (segretario di Platone), Amicla di Eraclea, Corisco di Scepsi, Teofrasto, gli oratori Iperide e Licurgo, e altri minori. Da altre fonti si sa che frequentò l'Accademia anche il matematico e astronomo Eudosso di Cnido.

Aristotele, il più importante degli allievi dell'Accademia, vi entrò nel 367 a.C. (all'età di 17 anni) e la lasciò vent'anni più tardi, alla morte di Platone nel 347 a.C.: dunque deve essere stato non solo uno degli allievi ma anche insegnante: sappiamo che tenne dei corsi di retorica, che difese le posizioni dell'Accademia contro quelle di Isocrate e della sua scuola, e che scrisse alcuni dialoghi e trattati, tra cui Sulle Idee, in cui riferì il dibattito che si tenne nell'Accademia su questo tema, e Sul bene, in cui espose il corso tenuto da Platone su quest'argomento. Sembra che alla morte di Speusippo non fu eletto scolarca solo perché in quel momento non si trovava ad Atene (in questo periodo era precettore di Alessandro, figlio di Filippo II di Macedonia).

Il metodo seguito nell'Accademia era basato sulla discussione: pare che il maestro ponesse un problema e invitasse gli allievi a proporre delle soluzioni, che poi erano sottoposte ad esame e a tentativi di confutazione, con l'obiettivo di individuare la tesi più attendibile e convincente. Sembra che vi fosse grande libertà di proporre tesi diverse e contrastanti, senza grandi preoccupazioni di ortodossia (al contrario di quanto avveniva, ad esempio, nella scuola pitagorica).

Abbiamo notizia di almeno quattro problemi proposti da Platone ai suoi allievi. Il primo fu di carattere astronomico, cioè quello di costruire un modello dell'universo che potesse spiegare esattamente i moti degli astri che si potevano osservare nel cielo. Il secondo riguarda l'esistenza delle idee, problema centrale nella filosofia di Platone. Il terzo fu il problema dei princìpi, cioè degli elementi fondamentali che costituiscono la realtà. Il quarto fu di carattere etico: se il piacere sia un bene e se dovesse essere assunto come criterio di comportamento.

Inoltre, nell'attività dell'Accademia avevano importanza anche la matematica pura (cioè aritmetica e geometria) e applicata (cioè ottica e meccanica): questo corrisponde alla concezione platonica secondo cui lo studio della matematica deve precedere, e preparare a, quello della filosofia. Proclo cita diversi matematici che avrebbero avuto rapporti con l'Accademia, tra cui Leodamante di Taso, Archita di Taranto, Teeteto di Atene, Eudosso di Cnido e altri ancora. Uno degli obiettivi dell'Accademia era la formazione di politici (il che corrisponde al programma educativo esposto da Platone nella Repubblica), e diversi accademici (a partire dallo stesso Platone) ebbero ruoli politici di vario tipo, con l'impegno diretto, oppure come consiglieri o legislatori.

L'accademia fu uno dei centri di formazione dei giovani di buona famiglia ateniesi e stranieri. Per questo essa fu in diretta concorrenza sia con l'insegnamento dei sofisti sia con altri istituti come la scuola fondata dal retore Isocrate e più tardi il Liceo fondato da Aristotele.

Sviluppo dell'Accademia ellenistica
Tradizionalmente, si distingue in diverse fasi lo sviluppo della scuola. Tra gli antichi, Diogene Laerzio parla di cinque diverse "Accademie", a partire dallo scolarcato di Platone fino ad arrivare a Filone, al termine dell'Ellenismo; Cicerone invece distingue semplicemente un'accademia antica dalla "nuova accademia" di Carneade e Filone.

Mentre a quanto sembra gli immediati successori di Platone, Speusippo e Senocrate, proseguirono l'insegnamento del fondatore senza apportare innovazioni di rilievo, una vera svolta si ebbe con lo scolarcato di Arcesilao. Arcesilao inaugurò il nuovo corso del platonismo ellenistico: a partire da lui, fino al primo secolo, il platonismo venne guardato innanzitutto come una filosofia scettica. La svolta scettica fu probabilmente influenzata dalla polemica che Arcesilao inaugurò contro il dogmatismo della dottrina stoica, che veniva allora insegnata ad Atene da Zenone di Cizio.

Anche i successori di Arcesilao - in particolare Carneade - proseguirono sia lo sviluppo scettico del platonismo sia la polemica con lo stoicismo, fino al I secolo d.C.

Filone di Larissa, in quest'epoca, iniziò una revisione delle posizioni dei suoi predecessori, puntando verso un approccio più sincretico con le altre scuole di pensiero ellenistiche, in reazione agli orientamenti scettici; il più famoso allievo di Filone, Antioco di Ascalona, ruppe del tutto con l'insegnamento dei predecessori, e con l'Accademia di Atene, fondando una nuova scuola in Egitto, e dando del platonismo una interpretazione che tendeva a trasformarlo in un sistema dogmatico con molti punti di contatto più che di polemica con lo stoicismo.

La Scuola neoplatonica
Alla fine del IV secolo d.C. Plutarco di Atene fondò nella sua città una nuova scuola, basata sulle dottrine neoplatoniche elaborate da Plotino, Porfirio e Giamblico, ove esercitarono il loro magistero filosofi come Siriano e Proclo. L'Accademia venne osteggiata da alcuni gruppi di cristiani che la vedevano come un pericolo rispetto alla supremazia morale e politica della loro religione, visto che i suoi insegnanti ed i suoi studenti erano in larghissima maggioranza ancora pagani. Ciò ne causò la chiusura, decretata nel 529 dall'Imperatore romano d'Oriente Giustiniano I. A seguito della chiusura, un gruppo di sette filosofi, che comprendeva l'ultimo scolarca, Damascio, dovette fuggire esule in Persia, presso il re Cosroe I, e cercò di rifondare in oriente una nuova scuola platonica, ma senza successo.

Accademia platonica di Firenze

Nel Rinascimento, per Accademia s'intende comunemente anche la cosiddetta Accademia neoplatonica di Firenze che, sorta grazie alla protezione di Cosimo de' Medici, voleva rappresentare simbolicamente la riapertura dell'antica Accademia ateniese. Essa divenne ben presto uno dei centri più importanti del neoplatonismo cristiano, e consisteva in un cenacolo di filosofi e letterati fiorentini riuniti intorno a Marsilio Ficino, i quali intendevano promuovere la rinascita della dottrina di Platone facendone rivivere la scuola.

L'Accademia di Firenze cessò ogni attività nell'anno 1522.

Battlefield Football Club, often referred to as The Battlefield, was a 19th-century football club based in Langside, in Glasgow.  The club took its name from the site of the Battle of Langside in 1568.

History
The club's foundation was inspired by neighbours Queen's Park F.C. and eight of the club's initial membership were also members of the Hampden side.  The club's membership was middle-class "gentlemanly" players, with a reputation for clean play that "cultivat[ed] the science of the game".

Although the club's foundation date was given as 1873, the first reported match for the club took place in October 1879, and first Scottish Cup entry was in 1881.

Battlefield had a reputation for causing shocks.  In the 1883-84 Scottish Cup, the club beat South Western F.C. in the Scottish Cup first round 8-1, "contrary to expectations".  Battlefield reached the quarter-finals that season, which the club matched the following season, in which the club pulled off its biggest shock; beating Queen's Park 3-2 in the third round.

Queen's Park protested on several bases, including having one goal wrongly disallowed, and three of the Battlefield players not having been registered, but the protests were dismissed.  The size of the shock can be measured by Queen's Park reaching the FA Cup final that season.

Queen's Park felt the loss strongly and there were accusations that Battlefield was "poaching" players from Queen's Park; indeed one Smith, a member of the Queen's Park committee and secretary of Battlefield, was removed from his position at Queen's Park because of his alleged attempts at "tapping up".

After beating Pollokshields Athletic F.C., conquerors of Dumbarton F.C., in the fourth round, Battlefield were considered favourites to win the competition,  The club was drawn to play Cambuslang F.C. in the quarter-finals at Kinning Park, but Battlefield did not turn up, due to the "hardness of the ground", and claimed the match had been postponed; indeed no referee turned up either.  Cambuslang kicked a goal and claimed the tie.  Battlefield's protest was upheld, but the replay was ordered to take place in Cambuslang.  A special train was put on from Glasgow to bring the Battlefield support, and Battlefield was 1-0 up at half-time thanks to a Sellar header, but the home side turned it around to win 3-1.

With many amateur players having dual membership with Queen's Park and another club, and choosing more and more to play for the former, Battlefield boosted its ranks by taking over Pollokshields Athletic in late 1888.  The instant result was a 2-1 win over Rangers F.C. at Ibrox Park, but the boost did not last long, and in the next year's Glasgow Cup, Battlefield suffered an 8-1 defeat to Queen's Park.

In the 1893-94 Scottish Cup, the club beat Scottish League club Thistle F.C. 3-1 in the first round, one of the first times a non-league side beat a League side.  Battlefield lost in a second round replay to Abercorn.

The 1893-94 upset was the club's final success; professionalism and the various Scottish leagues had taken their toll on the club, with players either retiring or moving to professional clubs.  Also, despite the club's success on the national stage, within Glasgow the club had never been prominent, with Queen's Park and Third Lanark F.C. on the club's doorstep, and other clubs in Glasgow having been paying players in secret from the 1880s onwards.

The club's final Scottish Cup tie was in the first round against St Mirren in 1894; after losing the tie, Battlefield protested on the basis that one of the Saints was under suspension for playing in an unsanctioned match.  The Scottish FA upheld the protest, but St Mirren won the replayed tie by a larger margin.

The final reported senior matches for the club come from the 1896-97 season, when it was forced mostly to play friendlies.  In 1897-98, the club scratched from the Glasgow Cup before playing a tie, and by the start of the next season the club had been definitively wound up.

Colours

The club's colours were black and white "stripes", possibly in honour of Queen's Park.

Grounds

The club originally played at Overdale Park.  In 1884 the club moved to Mossfield Park, four miles from the city centre.

Notable players

William Sellar, who won 5 caps for the Scotland national side as a Battlefield player.

Daniel "Danny" Clark OAM (ur. 30 sierpnia 1951 w Launceston) – australijski kolarz torowy i szosowy, wicemistrz olimpijski oraz szesnastokrotny medalista torowych mistrzostw świata.

Kariera
Pierwszy sukces w karierze Danny Clark osiągnął w 1970 roku, kiedy zdobył srebrny medal w indywidualnym wyścigu na dochodzenie podczas igrzysk Brytyjskiej Wspólnoty Narodów w Edynburgu. Na rozgrywanych dwa lata później igrzyskach olimpijskich w Monachium wywalczył drugie miejsce w wyścigu na 1 km, ulegając jedynie Nielsowi Fredborgowi z Danii. Pierwszy złoty medal zdobył na mistrzostwach świata w Besançon w 1980 roku, gdzie był najlepszy w keirinie. W konkurencji tej wygrał także na mistrzostwach w Brnie, przy czym zajął także drugie miejsce w wyścigu punktowym. Podczas mistrzostw świata w Leicester w 1982 roku i mistrzostw w Zurychu rok później Clark zdobywał srebrne medale w keirinie, w pierwszym przypadku przegrywając z Gordonem Singletonem z Kanady, a w drugim ze Szwajcarem Ursem Freulerem. Na trzech kolejnych mistrzostwach: Barcelona 1984, Bassano 1985 i Colorado Springs 1986 zdobywał złote medale w derny. W Bassano zdobył także srebrny medal w wyścigu ze startu zatrzymanego, ustępując tylko Włochowi Bruno Vicino. Wynik ten powtórzył na mistrzostwach świata w Wiedniu w 1987 roku (wygrał Szwajcar Max Hürzeler), a podczas mistrzostw świata w Gandawie w 1988 roku zdobył kolejne dwa złote medale: w derny i wyścigu ze startu zatrzymanego. Z mistrzostw świata w Maebashi w 1990 roku wrócił z dwoma brązowymi i medalami: był trzeci w wyścigu punktowym za Laurentem Biondim z Francji i Michaelem Markussenem z Danii oraz trzeci w wyścigu ze startu zatrzymanego za Włochem Walter Brugną i Szwajcarem Peterem Steigerem. Ostatni medal Danny zdobył na mistrzostwach świata w Stuttgarcie w 1991 roku, gdzie po raz drugi w karierze był najlepszy w wyścigu ze startu zatrzymanego. Ponadto Australijczyk 74 razy wygrywał zawody cyklu Six Days i zwyciężał w wyścigach szosowych. Ostatni sukces osiągnął w 2000 roku, kiedy wspólnie z Graeme'em Brownem zwyciężył w zawodach Six Days we francuskiej miejscowości Nouméa.

O museu tem uma área de 40.600 m² e conta com um acervo de 300.000 obras, das quais 3500 em exposição. Até fevereiro de 2009, o museu havia recebido mais de 4.000.000 visitantes, e apenas em 2016, recebeu 1,15 milhões de visitantes.

O acervo do museu constituiu-se a partir de antigas coleções de etnologia do Museu do Homem e do Museu Nacional de Artes da África e da Oceania. As obras são divididas em grandes zonas continentais (África, Ásia, Oceania e Américas). Além da exposição permanente, o museu promove dez exposições temporárias por ano.

A biblioteca possui importante documentação etnográfica, contando com os arquivos de Georges Condominas, Jacques Kerchache e outros.

Desde 2005, o museu publica a revista de antropologia e museologia Gradhiva, fundada por Michel Leiris e Jean Jamin em 1986, dedicada à pesquisa contemporânea em etnologia, história da antropologia, aos arquivos de grandes etnólogos, às estéticas não ocidentais e, atualmente, também às coleções do próprio museu.

The Increase of Rent and Mortgage Interest (War Restrictions) Act, 1915 (Rent Restrictions Act) is an Act of the Parliament of the United Kingdom which restricted increases in rent and the rate of mortgage interest during World War I. The Act was in place on 25 November 1915 with its restrictions retrospectively in place from 4 August 1914.

The Act was, in part, a result of a rent strike which had taken place in Glasgow between 1914–15 as landlords sought to capitalise on the large influx of people into Glasgow that the promise of war and munitions work had brought into Glasgow. At its peak the rent strike involved as many as 20,000 people with its influence extending to other working-class communities in the UK. The crisis of the rent strike was brought to a head when Mr. Nicholson, a factor in the Partick area of the city, sought the prosecution of eighteen strikers in the small debt court. On 17 November 1915, thousands of shipyard workers came out on strike and alongside what had become known as "Mrs Barbour's Army" descended on the court in Brunswick Place, Glasgow. Despite the possibility of further industrial unrest disrupting the supply of war munitions, the factor insisted on pursuing the case. Only when it was revealed that David Lloyd George had telephoned Nicholson's solicitor urging the prosecution to wait on the findings of a parliamentary Commission of Inquiry was the prosecution dropped. Within a month of the court case the Rent Restrictions Act was in place, and was designed to stop landlords from profiteering during the war years when housing demand was high and supply was low.

The act was divided into five sections:
 Restrictions on raising rent or rate of mortgage interest
 Interpretation and application
 Rules as to procedure
 Application to Scotland and Ireland
 Short title and duration

The Act was initially intended as a temporary measure lasting during the continuance of the war and for a period of until six months after the end of the war. although certain sections were not actually repealed until 1989 when rents were deregulated during the third term of Margaret Thatcher's Conservative government.

Biografia
Ha studiato canto all'Accademia musicale Franz Liszt di Budapest, debuttando come professionista al festival lirico estivo dell'isola Margareten come Kate Pinkerton nella Madama Butterfly di Puccini.

Negli anni successivi, la Marton si produsse in teatri di provincia, finché nel 1968 fece il suo ingresso all'Opera di Stato Ungherese come la Regina Šemaka nel Gallo d'oro di Rimskij-Korsakov, cantando stabilmente in quel teatro fino al 1972.

Nel 1972 avvenne la svolta nella carriera del giovane soprano: fu scelta da Cristoph von Dohnanyi per cantare all'Opera di Francoforte la Contessa nelle Nozze di Figaro, interpretò al Maggio Musicale Fiorentino – sotto la direzione di Riccardo Muti – Matilde nel Guglielmo Tell di Rossini e ritornò a Budapest per cantare Odabella nellAttila di Verdi.

Nel 1973 debuttò alla Wiener Staatsoper in Tosca, nel '77 fu la volta dell'Opera di Stato di Amburgo con La donna senz'ombra di Strauss e alla San Francisco Opera con l'''Aida.

Nel 1978 avvenne l'atteso debutto alla Scala di Milano col Trovatore, l'anno successivo affrontò per la prima volta alla Civic Opera House di Chicago il ruolo di Maddalena nellAndrea Chénier di Giordano.

Nel 1981 cantò al festival dell'opera di Monaco il ruolo da protagonista in Elena egizia di Strauss, diretta da Wolfgang Sawallisch; nel biennio 1982-83 sostenne il ruolo di Leonora nel Fidelio di Beethoven sotto la direzione di Lorin Maazel nel Großes Festspielhaus di Salisburgo.

La carriera della Marton continua brillantemente nel corso degli anni ottanta e novanta.

Nel 1992 è Elettra nell'opera omonima all'Opéra National de Paris.

Dal 2000 ha diradato vistosamente l'attività, ma ha ampliato il proprio repertorio con nuovi ruoli: Isotta (Opera di Stato di Amburgo, 2000), Kundry (Barcellona, Lisbona, 2001), Fedora (in concerto al festival dell'opera di Miskolc, 2006-07), Elettra (Düsseldorf), Kostelnička (Amburgo).

Si è ritirata dalle scene nel marzo 2008 dopo aver interpretato il ruolo mezzosopranile di Clitennestra nell'''Elettra di Strauss, tuttavia nel novembre 2010 è tornata sulle scene col medesimo ruolo al Grand Théâtre de Genève

Il repertorio wagneriano e il Met

La Marton ha affrontato per la prima volta il repertorio wagneriano al suo debutto al Metropolitan Opera di New York (1976) interpretando il ruolo di Eva nei Maestri cantori di Norimberga, mentre nel biennio 1977-78 ha cantato al Festival di Bayreuth i ruoli di Elisabetta e Venere nel Tannhäuser, riproponendo l'interpretazione di Elisabetta al Metropolitan nel 1982. Il soprano fino ad oggi è andata in scena al Met per novantasei rappresentazioni fino al 1999.

Un ruolo legato al suo nome è quello di Brunilde nell'Anello del Nibelungo, ripetutamente sostenuto nei principali teatri, tra cui spicca il ciclo completo diretto da Zubin Mehta a Chicago nel 1996.

Nel 1998 ha interpretato ad Amburgo il ruolo mezzosopranile di Ortrud in una nuova edizione del Lohengrin.

Turandot

La Marton ha cantato per la prima volta l'impervio ruolo di Turandot a Vienna nel 1983 (accanto a José Carreras e Katia Ricciarelli), interpretando in seguito la principessa cinese in oltre cento repliche nei più importanti teatri del mondo (Milano, Verona, Venezia, New York, San Francisco, Chicago, Houston, Barcellona, Vienna e Londra). La Turandot del 1997 è stata anche finora l'ultima performance del soprano a Vienna (ventisette repliche nel ruolo). Complessivamente la Marton ha calcato le scene del Wiener Staatsoper per centotrenta rappresentazioni.

È stata la protagonista di sei produzioni televisive dell'opera, tra cui spiccano quelle dirette da Harold Prince (Vienna), David Hockey (San Francisco) e Franco Zeffirelli (New York), entrambe registrate e ripubblicate in DVD. Ha inciso il ruolo due volte, con Lorin Maazel e Roberto Abbado.

Хатлонский будда или Будда в нирване — глиняная статуя Будды, обнаруженная в 1966 году при раскопах буддийского монастыря Аджина-Тепе в Таджикистане.

История
Памятник Аджина-Тепе расположен в долине реки Вахш недалеко от города Бохтар, он впервые осмотрен археологами в 1959 году. Разработка как археологического объекта началась с 1961 года. Профессором Борисом Литвинским в 1966 году была обнаружена глиняная статуя Будды.

Фигура Будды, лежащая на правом боку в вытянутом положении фигура — традиционная статуарная поза, известная по каменным статуям Будды в нирване. Оно представляет собой индийские элементы и местные традиции древнего Тохаристана. Статуя датируется VI—VIII веками нашей эры. Некоторые части статуи отличаются друг от друга, поскольку во время арабского завоевания в VII веке статую повредили; от неё остались только нижняя часть тела и голова, а середина тела была восстановлена в середине 1990-х командой реставраторов Эрмитажа под руководством Веры Фоминых.

После изучения статуя была выставлена в Национальном музее древностей Таджикистана. В 1999 году буддийский комплекс Аджина-Тепе вместе со статуей Будды были включены в список кандидатов памятников культурного наследия ЮНЕСКО в Таджикистане. В 2001 году к 10-летию независимости Таджикистана правительством США был выделен грант на реставрацию статуи в размере 30 тысяч долларов. В этот же период было создано несколько копий этой статуи.

The Wonderful Wizard of Oz (2005) is a collection of three stories adapting the novel The Wonderful Wizard of Oz (1900) by L. Frank Baum. The stories were written by David Chauvel with art by Enrique Fernandez.

The books were first published in French by Delcourt (2005) as Le Magicien d'Oz, continuing Delcourt Jeunesse's theme of adapting classic works in a graphic novel format. The album in English was published in the United States by Image Comics, on January 2, 2007. The three-part book received the Grand Prix de La Ville de Lyon award for illustration in 2005.

Its art inspired American artists Skottie Young's design for the adaptation he made in 2009 for Marvel Comics, with Fernandez sharing that Young said he had Fernandez's comics on the desk while working on his own designs.

Сопряжённое фо́кусное расстоя́ние — расстояние от передней или задней главных плоскостей объектива до переднего или заднего сопряжённого фокуса соответственно. В отличие от главных фокусов, в которых собираются лучи преломлённого оптической системой параллельного пучка из «бесконечности», сопряжённым соответствуют расходящиеся пучки от точечных источников света, расположенных на конечных расстояниях. Иными словами, в отличие от главного фокусного расстояния, на котором располагаются изображения предметов, находящихся в «бесконечности», на сопряжённых отображаются предметы, лежащие на конечных расстояниях от объектива.

Так же, как и главное фокусное расстояние, сопряжённое может быть как передним, так и задним, но в фотографии практическое значение чаще всего имеет заднее. Заднее сопряжённое фокусное расстояние  всегда больше главного фокусного расстояния объектива  и тем больше, чем ближе к объективу расположен объект съёмки или наблюдения. При расчётах учитывается расстояние от объекта до передней главной плоскости объектива . Эта зависимость приведена в таблице, в которой расстояния  и  выражены в величинах .

Для линзы эти расстояния связаны отношением, непосредственно следующим из формулы линзы:

или, если d и R выразить в величинах фокусного расстояния :

В практической фотографии для фокусировки изображения объектов, расположенных на конечных дистанциях,  на некоторое расстояние, которое называют выдвижение объектива. Это расстояние может быть значительным и особенно велико в случаях макросъёмки предметов на очень близких дистанциях, сопоставимых с главным фокусным расстоянием объектива. При этом эффективная светосила оптической системы падает ниже значения, рассчитанного для наводки на «бесконечность», что требуется учитывать при расчёте экспозиции.

La Exposición Universal en París se inauguró oficialmente el 1 de abril de 1867 y se clausuró el 31 de octubre. El emperador Napoleón III fue quien decretó la construcción de este proyecto para demostrar la grandeza del Segundo Imperio francés. Para este efecto se nombró una comisión, cuyo presidente fue el príncipe Jerome Napoleón Bonaparte II, quien dirigió los trabajos preliminares.

Origen de la Exposición
La sede elegida por el gobierno francés para que se erigiese el edificio de la exposición fueron los Campos de Marte, el gran escenario de los desfiles militares de la ciudad, que abarcaba 48 ha y al cual se añadió la isla de Billancourt de 21 hectáreas. El tema principal fue el progreso y la paz, a pesar de que la feria estuviese irónicamente situada frente al edificio de la École Militaire.

A partir de 1865, el ingeniero Jean-Baptise Krantz junto con el arquitecto Leopold Hardy dirigieron la construcción de un gigantesco edificio ovalado para que albergase la exposición. Las dimensiones de dicho emplazamiento fueron de 490 m de largo por 390 m de ancho, cubriendo un área total de 150.000 m². El edificio estaba diseñado con doce galerías concéntricas que giraban alrededor de un jardín dispuesto en el centro de 166 m de largo por 56 de ancho. La cubierta fue realizada con láminas de acero corrugado y soportada por una estructura que consistía de 176 columnas de hierro. Además de este había casi 100 edificios más pequeños.

Los fondos para la construcción y mantenimiento de la exposición consistieron en subvenciones de 1.165.020$ del gobierno francés, una cantidad similar de la ciudad y alrededor de 2.000.000$ de donaciones públicas, lo que daba un total de 5.883.400$. Los recibos ascendían a 2.822.900$ lo cual dejaba un déficit que, sin embargo, fue cubierto por las aportaciones del gobierno y la ciudad de París, por lo que el informe final salió positivo.

Exposición

Hubo  expositores, de los cuales  procedían de Francia y sus colonias,  de Gran Bretaña e Irlanda, 703 de los Estados Unidos y un pequeño contingente de Canadá.

Durante los siete meses de duración, la exposición tuvo , incluidos expositores y empleados. Fue la más grandiosa exposición internacional habida hasta ese momento, tanto con respecto a su magnitud como al propósito del proyecto.

Formando parte del paisaje de la exposición representada Notre-Dame, las esbeltas cúpulas de Los Inválidos y del Panteón y las agujas de la basílica de Santa Clotilde. Las dos torretas de la electricidad y el globo del fotógrafo Nadar suponían una muestra del avance técnico.

El 21 de octubre, en homenaje a la exposición, se llevó a cabo un reestreno del famoso ballet Le Corsaire, puesto en escena por el maestro de Ballet Joseph Mazilier en el Théâtre de l'Académie Royale de Musique.

Durante el mes de julio se celebró el campeonato mundial de remo en el Sena, resultando ganador el oprimido equipo canadiense de Saint John, Nuevo Brunswick, que fue rápidamente investido por la prensa como la tripulación de París.

The 346th Bombardment Group is a former United States Army Air Forces unit. It was last assigned to the 316th Bombardment Wing at Kadena Airfield, Okinawa, where it was inactivated on 30 June 1946.  The group was originally a heavy bomber training unit, but was inactivated in a general reorganization of Army Air Forces training units in 1944.  It was reorganized as a Boeing B-29 Superfortress group later that year.  It moved to Okinawa in 1945, but arrived too late to participate in combat.

History

Heavy bomber training unit
The group was first activated at Salt Lake City Army Air Base, Utah in September 1942, with the 502d, 503d, 504th and 505th Bombardment Squadrons assigned  The following month, it moved to Smoky Hill Army Air Field, Kansas, where it began operating as an Operational Training Unit (OTU).  The Army Air Forces (AAF) OTU program involved the use of an oversized parent unit to provide cadres  to "satellite groups".  Initially, the goup's 503d and 504th Squadrons were equipped with Boeing B-17 Flying Fortresses, but by the end of the year, the group was entirely equipped with the Consolidated B-24 Liberator.

With the Liberator, the mission changed to acting as a Replacement Training Unit (RTU).  Like the OTUs, RTUs were oversized units, but their mission was to train individual aircrews, rather than units.  However, the AAF was finding that standard military units, based on relatively inflexible tables of organization were not well adapted to the training mission.  In response, the group's squadrons lost their aircraft and the training mission was concentrated in group headquarters in October 1943.  Ultimately, The AAF adopted a functional system in which each base was organized into a separate numbered unit, which would be manned and organized specifically for the mission.  The 346th Group and its squadrons were inactivated on 1 April 1944, along with support organizations at Dyersburg Army Air Base, Tennessee, and replaced by the 223d AAF Base Unit (Combat Crew Training Station, Bombardment, Heavy)

Very heavy bomber operations
The group was reactivated at Dalhart Army Air Field, Texas in August 1944 as a very heavy bomber unit.  However, the group's component squadrons were not activated with it.  Instead, the 461st, 462d and 463d Bombardment Squadrons, which had been components of the 331st Bombardment Group were assigned to the 346th.  The group trained with Boeing B-29 Superfortress at Dalhart and at Pratt Army Air Field, Kansas until late June 1945, when it departed the United States for the Pacific Theater.

The group did not arrive at its combat station, Kadena Airfield, on Okinawa until 7 August 1945 and the war ended before it could participate in combat operations, although members of the unit intended to be lead crews flew missions with other units from Saipan, Tinian and Guam.  After the war the group participated in several show-of-force missions over Japan and for a time ferried Allied prisoners of war from Okinawa to the Philippine Islands.  It served with the occupation forces until it was inactivated in June 1946.

Fresh Off the Boat is an American sitcom television series created by Nahnatchka Khan and produced by 20th Century Fox Television for ABC. It is loosely inspired by the life of chef and food personality Eddie Huang and his 2013 autobiography of the same name. Huang also executive produced the series and narrated its first season. Depicting the life of a Taiwanese-American family in Florida in the 1990s, the series stars Randall Park, Constance Wu, Hudson Yang, Forrest Wheeler, Ian Chen, and Lucille Soong as the Huang family as well as Chelsey Crisp and Ray Wise portraying the family's next-door neighbors.

The series premiered its first two episodes on ABC in February 2015 to positive critical reception, becoming the first network television sitcom in the U.S. to feature a family of Asian Americans as main characters in over 20 years. Prior to its second season, the series went through a retooling, which included Huang's departure as narrator. It received accolades as well as nominations for major awards, such as Critics' Choice Television Award and NAACP Image Award nominations. After becoming the first series featuring an all Asian American main cast to broadcast over 100 episodes, it concluded in February 2020 after six seasons.

Series synopsis
Set between 1995 and 2000, the series revolves around the Huangs (the Mandarin equivalent of Wong), a Taiwanese-American family comprising parents Louis and Jessica, their children Eddie, Emery, and Evan, and Louis's mother, Jenny, following their relocation from Chinatown of Washington, D.C. to Orlando, Florida to open a cowboy-themed steakhouse. Season two chronicles the burgeoning success of the family-owned restaurant, named Cattleman's Ranch, Jessica's partnership with the Huangs' neighbor Honey on a business venture, and Eddie's troublemaking tendencies as well as his relationship with his mother. The third season sees the Huang family continue to assimilate into their community, with Jessica obtaining her U.S. citizenship and deciding how she wants to parent her sons, each of the Huang children continuing their schooling, and Louis contemplating selling the steakhouse.

The fourth season narrates Jessica as she pens her novel titled A Case of a Knife to the Brain and Eddie as he enters Freshman year while also supporting his friend and neighbor Nicole after she comes out as gay, while the fifth sees Jessica's unsuccessful novel release and the events that follow; the pregnancy of Honey, the Huangs' neighbor and Jessica's best friend; and Eddie entering a cultural exchange program to visit Taiwan. The final season follows Jessica becoming an educator, Louis becoming a business consultant, Evan undergoing puberty, Emery taking up acting, and Eddie contemplating his future as he approaches the end of his high school years.

Cast and characters

 Randall Park as Louis Huang, the father of Eddie, Emery, and Evan, and husband of Jessica. He is nice and mild-mannered and embraces all things American, which is often seen when he recounts his younger days. He owns a Western steakhouse restaurant in Orlando named Cattleman's Ranch.
 Constance Wu as Jessica Huang, the wife of Louis and mother of Eddie, Emery, and Evan. She is a no-nonsense, pragmatic and highly competitive woman who believes in tough love. She often pushes her sons and husband to be more successful and also keep in touch with their Taiwanese heritage.
 Hudson Yang as Edwyn "Eddie" Huang, a die-hard hip-hop and rap fan as well as a great fan of basketball. He is initially the main protagonist of the series, until its creative shift to the entire family in season 2. The show follows his journey from his childhood years to his senior year of high school. The oldest of three brothers, he eschews Taiwanese culture and is more rebellious than his younger siblings, which makes him a frequent target of his mother Jessica's complaints. While working in his father's steakhouse, he displays strong customer service and marketing skills. He later reveals a desire to attend culinary school instead of a traditional college. The real-life Huang serves as an executive producer of the series throughout its run as well as its narrator during the first season.
 Forrest Wheeler as Emery Huang, the middle son of the Huang family. He is a romantic and lovable kid who is fairly intelligent. He is also depicted as charismatic and mature for his age, and the typical "ladies' man". He is shown to be good at academics as well as athletics, as he thrived in a tennis tournament and was on the school volleyball team in season five. He graduates elementary school at the end of season two and begins high school in season six, during which he becomes interested in acting.
 Ian Chen as Evan Huang, Louis and Jessica's youngest son, who is a star student and obeys the rules. This makes him Jessica's blatant favorite child, as she frequently predicts his future dual career as "Doctor/President". Evan skips fifth grade between seasons three and four and starts middle school in the fourth season.
 Lucille Soong as Jenny Huang (main season two through six, recurring season one), Louis's mother, and grandmother of Eddie, Evan, and Emery. Although she clearly understands English, she initially only speaks in Mandarin (subtitled in English). She rarely interacts with the family's affairs, usually just sitting back and making sarcastic comments for her own amusement. In the season four episode "It's a Plastic Pumpkin, Louis Huang", the family discovers she has secretly been taking ESL lessons, and she speaks English for the first time.
 Chelsey Crisp as Honey Ellis (main seasons two through six, recurring season one), the Huangs' next-door neighbor, Marvin's third wife, and Jessica's new best friend. Although she is friendly with Jessica, she is often intimidated by her competitive nature. She delivers her first child, a daughter, in the season five premiere. Later in the season, she has a second child.
 Ray Wise as Marvin Ellis (main seasons three through six, recurring seasons one and two), Honey's much-older husband and Nicole's father. He is a successful dentist who married Honey after his previous wife caught him cheating with Honey on the kitchen floor. He is kind and friendly with the Huang family, though he occasionally gets into a friendly rivalry with Louis.

Production

Development and casting

Eddie Huang's 2013 autobiography, Fresh Off the Boat, caught the attention of television networks upon its release, with ABC and 20th Century Fox Television ordering a pilot episode for a series based on the memoir in August. Writer Nahnatchka Khan, who was known as the creator and executive producer of fellow ABC sitcom Don't Trust the B---- in Apartment 23, was hired to write and executive produce the pilot, while Huang himself was brought on as an executive producer. In February 2014, Constance Wu and Randall Park were the first two actors announced to star in the series as its leads. A month later, it was announced that Hudson Yang would be portraying Huang in the series.

After the series was titled Far East Orlando during its development stage, Huang led a Twitter campaign to change the title to that of his autobiography. Regarding the title change, Khan stated that "going the 'unsafe' route and picking a title that announces itself and doesn't apologize made sense." In May 2014, ABC announced a full season order of the series during the May 2014 upfront to air in 2015 as a mid-season replacement.

With its premiere on February 4, 2015, Fresh Off the Boat became the first U.S. television sitcom starring an Asian American family to air on network primetime since Margaret Cho's All-American Girl, which aired for one season in 1994. Khan stated that even though she herself was not Chinese, she was not worried about inauthenticity because she was "focused on character and comedy and story". Regarding balancing the representation of the Asian American experience versus the specificity of the characterization of the Huang family, Wu stated: "Specificity is what makes good storytelling, and good storytelling is what makes money, and making money is then what encourages new producers to invest in different stories about Asians." In a 2015 interview, Wu further stated that after the first season, she had become more comfortable asking the show's staff to change particular details, for example changing "generic Asian food [in a scene] ... to a 1,000-year-old black egg with tofu and scallions, [which] will be a little more specific, and specificity is just better for character, and it's more interesting than, say, tofu and rice." The series also regularly features dialogues in Mandarin.

Khan stepped down as the series' showrunner in 2019 while remaining a consulting producer for the rest of the series; she was replaced by producers Keith Hesler and Matt Kuhn. Regarding directing, recurring directors throughout the series include Lynn Shelton, who directed the pilot and went on to direct a total of nine episodes, Claire Scanlon, Anya Adams, and Gail Mancuso. Park made his directorial debut as the director of the final episode of the series.

Filming
While it is set in Orlando, Florida, Fresh Off the Boat was mainly filmed in Stage 14, located at 20th Century Fox in Century City in Los Angeles. During the production of the third season, the series conducted filming in Taipei, Taiwan for three days. Filming for the series had concluded as of January 2020.

Retooling
After Fresh Off the Boats first season, Eddie Huang reduced his involvement with the series, including no longer being the narrator, due to creative differences with ABC, as well as time constraints with other projects. He remains credited as a producer, and the show's credits continued to note that the series is based on his memoir. With Huang's departure, ABC decided not to recast the narrator role, dropping it from the series altogether.

The series also experienced a change regarding its character focus, which was broadened to encompass the entire Huang family, namely Louis and Jessica, rather than on Eddie only. Additionally, recurring cast members Lucille Soong and Chelsey Crisp were both promoted to the main cast, while Ray Wise became a series regular beginning in season three.

Renewals
On May 7, 2015, ABC renewed Fresh off the Boat for a second season of 13 episodes. ABC ordered 9 additional episodes on October 13 and two more on November 17, leading to a total of 24 episodes for the second season. On March 3, 2016, ABC announced that the series has been renewed for a third season, which premiered on October 11, 2016. On May 12, 2017, ABC renewed the series for a fourth season, which premiered on October 3, 2017. On May 11, 2018, ABC renewed the series for a fifth season, which premiered on October 5.

On May 10, 2019, ABC renewed the series for a sixth season. Wu received backlash after she posted profane tweets about the sixth season renewal. Following the tweets, Karey Burke, President of ABC Entertainment Group, stated that there were no plans to recast the role of Jessica. Wu later publicly apologized, stating that the series' renewal forced her to decline a role in a project she was passionate about, as scheduling would not permit her to do both the series and said project. She further clarified that she loved her castmates and that her tweets had nothing to do with animosity towards them. The sixth season premiered on September 27, 2019.

On November 8, 2019, ABC announced that the series was to end following the conclusion of its sixth season. The season contained 15 episodes, with the two-part series finale airing on February 21, 2020.

The first of the two preview episodes garnered 7.94 million viewers, becoming the second-highest rated comedy premiere that season.

It debuted on March 12, 2015, in South Africa on Fox Crime. In South Asia, Fresh Off The Boat, airs 12 hours after the U.S. broadcast on Star World Premiere HD.

On July 23, 2018, it was announced that American cable networks Freeform and Up TV have licensed the cable syndication rights to the first five seasons of the series. In April 2019, the series aired its 100th episode, effectively becoming the first series featuring an all Asian American cast to reach the milestone. As of November of the same year, the series is the longest-running Asian American family sitcom in television history.

Home media
On September 29, 2015, the first season of Fresh Off the Boat was released on DVD. The DVD contains two discs with all 13 episodes of season-one and special features such as a gag reel, as well a "Fresh Facts Trivia Track". The second and third seasons of Fresh Off the Boat were simultaneously released on DVD on May 22, 2018, while the fourth season was released on June 12, 2018. On September 3, 2019, the fifth season of the series was released on DVD.

Reception

Critical response
Fresh Off the Boat received positive reviews. The series holds a 94% approval rating on the review aggregator website Rotten Tomatoes, with the site's critical consensus of the first season reading: "Once the cliched gags of Fresh off the Boat are superseded by a grounded truthfulness, the series evolves into a humorously charming family sitcom." It has a score of 75 out of 100, based on 28 critics, on Metacritic, indicating "generally favorable reviews".

In a positive review, Lenika Cruz of The Atlantic praised the series' ability to "deliver consistent chuckles and cleverly subvert stereotypes of Asian American experience—even if they come wrapped in a fairly standard family-sitcom package", while TheWraps Mekeisha Madden Toby remarked that the series "has soul, flavor and an incredible cast." In concurrence, Robert Lloyd of The Los Angeles Times commended the series as "a consistently funny and even important one, with some lovely, nuanced performances". The series' style attracted comparisons to other television sitcoms, such as Everybody Hates Chris for both series' usage of "'at the end of the day, we do all really love one another, even if we sometimes make each other crazy' conclusions" as well as fellow ABC sitcoms Black-ish for how both series are "effectively studied in talking about and spoofing race" and The Goldbergs in their "fun-for-the-whole-family feel-good comedy style".

Critics noted the series' role in increasing the visibility and accuracy of Asian Americans in arts and entertainment. Antonia Chan of the Harvard Political Review commented that "Fresh Off the Boat captures the essence of why diversity in media matters", while Ester Suh, writing for the Huffington Post, stated that the sitcom had caused "real conversations being had about Asian American identity in addition to acknowledging the lack of inclusivity Asian Americans have had in the nation's cultural and entertainment dialogue". Brian Moylan of The Guardian further opined that the series "offers an Asian perspective on race relations – something we rarely see in pop culture."

Constance Wu's portrayal of Jessica Huang garnered praise. Tim Goodman of The Hollywood Reporter complimented Wu's portrayal of "hysterically harsh strictness" and how it was "delivered with an impressive range that covers the blatantly angry, the dubiously befuddled, the disapproving but supportive and the flat-out odd"; moreover, Entertainment Weeklys Ray Rahman stated: "Every line, every expression, every under-her-breath swipe [Wu] delivers hits its mark." On February 14, 2015, TVLine named Wu the site's performer of the week based on her performance in the third episode of the first season, while James Poniewozik of Time magazine and Brian Lowry of Variety highlighted Wu's performance as the series' breakout.

In terms of how the series fares in comparison to Huang's memoir, Sam Adams of IndieWire positively stated that the former was "sharp enough about race and culture to be daring, yet safe enough that no one is likely to feel excluded". David Hinckley of the New York Daily News felt that the series "takes the edges off some of Huang's more somber reflections on America and assimilation." Conversely, in her review for The New Yorker, television critic Emily Nussbaum negatively compared the portrayal of Eddie Huang's relationship with his father to that in the memoir, stating: "Without a cruel bully for a father, Eddie's taste for hip-hop feels more superficial—in the book, it's an abused kid's catharsis and an identification with black history." Neil Genzlinger of The New York Times criticized the series' avoidance of the memoir's "edge", which was its "brash" quality.

Eddie Huang's response
Throughout the first season, Eddie Huang expressed frustration over ABC's treatment of the series, saying that it presents "an ambiguous, cornstarch story about Asian-Americans" that perpetuates "an artificial representation of Asian American lives," opining that the sitcom was adapted to suit a broader American audience. He also tweeted in April 2015, "I understand this is a comedy but the great comics speak from pain: Pryor, Rock, Louis...This show had that opportunity but it fails." Despite this, Huang deems the series a milestone for Asian American representation. He further explained in an interview on National Public Radio, "The studio and network are not on a mission to not represent us. They just don't know how to." In a 2016 interview with Constance Wu, regarding whether he watched the series, Huang stated: "I don't watch it, but I'm proud of what it does."

Awards and nominations

Controversy
Constance Wu has claimed that one of the show's producers sexually harassed and intimidated her.

Potential spinoff
On June 17, 2020, ABC Entertainment president Karey Burke talked about the potential for a spin-off of Fresh Off the Boat, saying that the spin-off was not likely going to happen. The spin-off would have been titled "Magic Motor Inn" and would have starred Preity Zinta and Vir Das, who appeared in the episode "The Magic Motor Inn" during the show's final season.

Уильям Огастес Уэ́ллман (; ) — американский кинорежиссёр, заслуживший прозвище «Дикий Билл» из-за сурового обращения с актёрами, бесшабашного характера и имиджа пилота Первой мировой. Один из его наиболее известных фильмов, «Враг общества» (1931), рассматривается как ранний нуар.

Биография
Предки Уильяма в Новом свете ведут родословную от пуританина Томаса Уэллмана, который иммигрировал в колонию Массачусетского залива около 1640 г.; в родословной также присутствует Фрэнсис Льюис из Нью-Йорка, был одним из подписавших Декларацию независимости; отец, Артур Гувернёр Уэллман, был бостонским брамином, имевший английские и шотландские корни; мать, Сесилия Маккарти, была иммигранткой из Ирландии.

Уэллмана исключили из школы в Ньютон-Хайлендс (Массачусетс) за то, что он сбросил на голову директору бомбу-«вонючку». Работал коммивояжёром, на лесной бирже, затем стал профессиональным хоккеистом, в каковом амплуа его впервые увидел Дуглас Фэрбенкс, сказавший Уэллману, что с такими внешними данными тот мог бы стать актёром.

В Первую мировую войну Уэллман начал служить водителем в медицинских войсках. Будучи в Париже, примкнул к Иностранному легиону как лётчик-истребитель; стал первым американцем в 87-й эскадрилье «Чёрные кошки» Воздушных войск Лафайета, где заработал прозвище «Дикий Билл» и был награждён Военным крестом с двумя ветвями. На его счету три сбитых и пять предположительно сбитых самолётов противника. 21 марта 1918 г. был сбит немецким зенитным огнём, после чего всю жизнь заметно хромал. Через несколько недель сержант Уэллман был уволен со службы по состоянию здоровья и вернулся в США. Свой военный опыт он описал в книге «Go Get 'Em!», написанной при участии Элиота Харлоу Робинсона и вышедшей в сентябре 1918 г.

Уэллман примкнул к воздушным войскам США, но в боевых действиях поучаствовать не успел; обучал молодых пилотов тактике боя в Сан-Диего. На уикенды летал на своём истребителе в Голливуд, используя в качестве посадочной площадки поле для игры в поло Фэрбенкса. С его подачи Уэллман в 1919 г. получил первую роль в кино. Со съёмок фильма «Эвангелина» (1919) его выгнали за то, что он отвесил пощёчину ведущей актрисе Мириам Купер, жене режиссёра фильма Рауля Уолша. Уэллмана это не расстроило, поскольку актёрскую профессию он невзлюбил, считал её немужской и видеть не мог себя на экране. Он переключился на работу за кадром, пройдя путь от посыльного до режиссёра. Свой первый фильм поставил в 1920 г. (его имя не было указано в титрах). После дюжины низкобюджетных вестернов, о которых он предпочитал не вспоминать, Уэллман был нанят студией Paramount на военную драму «Крылья» о пилотах-истребителях Первой мировой. В год основания кинопремии «Оскар» фильм разделил награду в номинации «Лучший фильм» с драмой «Восход солнца».
