title: Vietnamese in New Orleans

text:
As of 2012 Greater New Orleans has over 14,000 Vietnamese Americans and other people of Vietnamese origins.

History
Large waves of Vietnamese arrived in New Orleans beginning around 1975 after the Fall of Saigon. One reason why many Vietnamese settled in New Orleans was because of the climate similar to that of Vietnam, a country colonized by France, not unlike Louisiana itself. In addition, many Vietnamese fleeing were Catholic, and Catholic Charities brought them specifically to New Orleans. The first groups settled in Section 8 properties in the Versailles area of New Orleans East. The first 200 families trickled into New Orleans, half going to the Versailles Apartments in New Orleans East and the other half going to Kingstown Marrero Apartments. Both New Orleans East and the Westbank were settled by the Vietnamese at the same time. In later periods, Vietnamese settlements spread to other parts of the metropolitan New Orleans area including other sections of New Orleans East, Avondale, and the City of Gretna.

The New Orleans East section was flooded by Hurricane Katrina in 2005. Sara Roahen, the author of Gumbo Tales: Finding My Place at the New Orleans Table, wrote that the Vietnamese had been accustomed to hardship and therefore were not as devastated by the effects of the storm, and that of the groups in the flooded zones the Vietnamese had "rallied" the fastest.

Organizations
Vietnamese American Young Leaders Association of New Orleans (VAYLA-NO) is an area organization for youth.

Vietnamese shrimpers who reside in Plaquemines Parish participate in an annual "Blessing of the Fleet" at the start of brown shrimp season in May.

Media
S. Leo Chiang directed the 2009 television documentary A Village Called Versailles, co-produced by the Independent Television Service and Walking Iris Films. The project was in cooperation with the Center for Asian American Media. The film discusses Vietnamese-American life in New Orleans.

Religion
Many Vietnamese living in Versailles are Roman Catholics. Mary Queen of Vietnam, a Vietnamese Catholic church, is in the center of the community.

Cuisine
Thomas Beller of T+L Magazine stated that the use of baguettes and influences from France are the similarities between the cuisine of New Orleans and Vietnamese cuisine.

Vietnamese restaurants opened in Vietnamese communities in New Orleans East and the West Bank after 1975. After the first immigrant generation arrived, many opened seafood and Chinese American restaurants out of the belief that they were more likely to succeed compared to Vietnamese restaurants. By 2014 Vietnamese restaurants had opened outside of Vietnamese communities, such as in the East Bank of New Orleans. The owners of these newer restaurants were born and/or raised in the United States.

In New Orleans banh mi are called "Vietnamese poboys". Crystal hot sauce is served with pho in New Orleans restaurants. Crawfish became a common element with both the native New Orleans cuisine and the Vietnamese cuisine. Elizabeth M. Williams, author of New Orleans: A Food Biography, wrote that "there is little need for Asian Cajun restaurants" due to the fact that "spicy crawfish boils are so easy to find in New Orleans".

Williams wrote that many Vietnamese easily learned how to make king cakes since baguettes are a part of Vietnamese cuisine. Many New Orleans-area restaurants have two soups of the day, with one being a gumbo and the other being a pho. The pickled vegetables seen in banh mi are now available as fillings for po boys in traditional po boy restaurants. Many New Orleans restaurants also have chayote (mirliton) spring rolls.

 many Vietnamese in Village de l'Est grow vegetables in gardens. Other popular crops include mangoes, mint, taro, squash, and bananas.

Recreation
The Vietnamese New Year (Tet) is celebrated in New Orleans East.

1979 Taling Chan rail accident
The accident occurred at dawn on 21 August 1979. A congested Ratchaburi-Thon Buri train (No.165, now 352) approached the intersection around Taling Chan Junction and was collided by a freight train from Bang Sue Junction to Padang Besar, due to having gone through a red signal. The freight train collided into the passenger train in the middle section and caused derailments for both trains. There were 51 deaths and 138 injured, the majority of the passengers being students and merchants coming for trade near Thon Buri Station. The accident was one of the most severe rail disasters in Thailand.

title: Thomas Desaguliers

text:
Lieutenant-General Thomas Desaguliers  (5 January 1721 – 1 March 1780) was a British Army general and a Colonel Commandant of the Royal Artillery.

Biography
Desaguliers was born 5 January 1721, the youngest son of Dr. John Theophilus Desaguliers. He was the grandson of Jean Desaguliers who, as Protestant pastor of Aytré, near La Rochelle, was exiled in 1682 prior to the revocation of the edict of Nantes. Jean was ordained in the Anglican Church, but served briefly as lecteur at the French chapel in Swallow Street, London.

As a young man Thomas Desaguliers was a Freemason who accompanied his father to masonic meetings and is mentioned in the 1738 edition of the Constitutions of the Freemasons. There is no evidence that he continued his masonic activity.

Desaguliers entered the Royal Regiment of Artillery as a cadet on 1 January 1740, and was promoted to second lieutenant on 1 September 1741, first lieutenant on 1 February 1742, captain-lieutenant on 3 April 1743, and captain on 1 January 1745. He first saw service in Flanders in 1744, when he joined the Royal Artillery train under Colonel William Belford, and remained on the continent until the close of the War of the Austrian Succession in 1748, being present at the battle of Fontenoy, as well as many minor engagements.

On his return to England, Captain Desaguliers was made chief firemaster at the Woolwich Arsenal on 1 April 1748, a post which he held for thirty-two years, until his death in 1780. The chief firemaster was the superintendent of the arsenal, and Desaguliers was the first scientific maker of cannon and the first regular investigator into the powers of gunnery in the English army. In 1749, he was among those who designed and supervised the fireworks for the first performance of Handel's Music for the Royal Fireworks. He was promoted to lieutenant-colonel on 5 February 1757.

In 1761 Desaguliers was summoned from his experiments and manufactures to take command of the siege train and the force of artillerymen intended to accompany the expedition to the island of Belleisle, off the western coast of France. This was the first opportunity to test on a large scale the improvements made in siege artillery since the days of Marlborough, and Desaguliers was able to put his ideas into practice. General Studholme Hodgson was in command, with Generals John Crauford, William Howe, John Burgoyne, and Guy Carleton under him. When Desaguliers arrived at Belleisle on 12 April with the temporary rank of brigadier-general, one unsuccessful attempt had already been made to disembark. Desaguliers at once volunteered to reconnoitre, and by putting some of his heavy guns into ships' boats, managed to cover the landing of the army. The island soon submitted, and General Hodgson directed Desaguliers to form the siege of the citadel. The manuscript journal which he kept during the siege of all his operations is preserved in the Royal Artillery Institution's Library at Woolwich, and forms the basis of the account given of the siege by Francis Duncan in his History of the Royal Regiment of Artillery. Desaguliers got thirty guns and thirty mortars into battery, fired 17,000 shot and 12,000 shells into the citadel. He had great difficulties to contend with owing to the flooding of the trenches, and was wounded himself five days before the capitulation of the fortress on 7 June.

On his return to England Desaguliers was promoted colonel and made colonel commandant of the Royal Artillery on 19 February 1762. He devoted himself for the rest of his life to his work at Woolwich. His work there was most valuable to the British military; he invented a method of firing small shot from mortars, and made the earliest experiments with rockets. On several occasions he demonstrated artillery to members of the Royal Family. Desaguliers' instrument was still in use at the royal gun factories for examining and verifying the bores of cannon in the late 19th century. He was promoted to major-general on 25 May 1772, and lieutenant-general on 29 September 1777.

In recognition of his scientific work Desaguliers was elected a fellow of the Royal Society on 24 February 1780, just before his death; he was the first officer of Royal Artillery who won that distinction.

Family

Thomas Desaguliers married Mary Blackwood (1727–1749) on 18 March 1745 at St George's Chapel, Mayfair.  She was the daughter of John Blackwood, art dealer, of Crayford, Kent, and a granddaughter of Admiral Sir Cloudsley Shovell. There is a posthumous portrait by William Hogarth.

Thomas and Mary had three children before her death at the age of 23:

Mary Catherine Desaguliers (1747–1814) married firstly Thomas Cartwright of Aynho, Northamptonshire, and secondly, Sir Stephen Cotterell, Master of the Ceremonies to the King. She was executrix of her father's will. A descendant was the mathematician Dame Mary Lucy Cartwright.

Anne Desaguliers (1748–1801) married Robert Shuttleworth of Gawthorpe Hall, Lancashire. Her grand-daughter Janet Shuttleworth married James Kay, better remembered as the politician and philanthropist Sir James Kay-Shuttleworth. A descendant, the present Lord Shuttleworth, is Lord Lieutenant of Lancashire.

Frederick Desaguliers (1749 –1777) joined the Royal Artillery as a cadet in 1762. As a Second Lieutenant he died in January 1777 at the Battle of Princeton, New Jersey, during the American War of Independence.

Thomas Desaguliers never remarried. He had an estate, Graces near Little Baddow, Essex, as well as a London home. He demonstrated artillery to the Royal Family, was equerry to King George III and accompanied the monarch on morning horse rides.  Desaguliers died unexpectedly on 1 March 1780. He was attended at Woolwich by the King's physician John Hunter (who had tended his wounds at Belle Isle) but succumbed to a ruptured spleen. He was buried alongside his wife at Crayford, where the grave still exists at St Paulinus church.

There is no known portrait of Thomas Desaguliers.

title: Illingworth Kerr

text:
Illingworth "Buck" Kerr  (20 August 1905 – 6 January 1989) was a Canadian painter, illustrator and writer.
He is best known for his landscape paintings of the Saskatchewan and Alberta prairies and foothills.

Early years

Illingworth Holey Kerr was born on 20 August 1905 in Lumsden, Saskatchewan,  northwest of the city of Regina.
His parents were William Hugh and Florence (Nurse) Kerr. He was one of four children.
His mother, who painted in watercolor, encouraged him to draw and paint when he was young. He often depicted animals.
In 1919 he entered fourteen of his works in the Regina Exhibition, all of which won awards.
His artistic talent was evident, and in 1923 relatives in eastern Canada paid for him to study in Toronto.

Kerr studied at the Central Technical School in 1924, and at the Ontario College of Art (OCA) from 1924 to 1927.
His teachers at the OCA were Arthur Lismer, J. E. H. MacDonald, Frederick Varley and John William Beatty.
In 1927 he spent time in the Georgian Bay region of Ontario.
Kerr then returned to Lumsden where he found work on harvest and railway crews. He painted signs and trapped, and was a writer and illustrator.
He painted when he had time in a tiny studio above the town's pool hall.
In 1936 Kerr traveled to England and studied at the Westminster School of Art in London.
While there he met Mary Spice of Yorkton, Saskatchewan.
They married in 1938, spent their honeymoon in Paris and the south of France, then returned to Montreal in 1938 on a Cunard ship.

Professional career

The Kerr's lived in Montreal for a period, where Illingworth Kerr collaborated on illustrations of Canada for the 1939 New York World's Fair.
The Kerrs were back in Saskatchewan in the winter of 1939–40.
There he undertook commissions for the Lumsden restaurant owner Charlie Wong, and exhibited his work at the Regina Art College.
The Kerr’s moved to British Columbia and lived in turn in White Rock, Cultus Lake and Vancouver.
Kerr taught at the Vancouver School of Art from 1945 to 1947.
He often exhibited his paintings at this time. He became a member of the British Columbia Society of Artists and the Federation of Canadian Artists, then headed by Lawren Harris.

Kerr was appointed director of the art department of the Provincial Institute of Technology and Arts (now Alberta University of the Arts) in Calgary in 1947.
Soon after arriving Kerr was made a director of the Calgary Zoological Society and an associate director of the Calgary Stampede.
Kerr was given commissions to paint portraits of prominent Albertans such as Grant MacEwan, Harry Strom and John C. Bowen.
Kerr was president of the Alberta Society of Artists from 1952 to 1953.
He also wrote short stories, illustrated many publications, and was a member of the Canadian Authors Association.
In 1954 he studied with Hans Hofmann in Provincetown, Massachusetts.
He attended Emma Lake Artist's Workshops in 1955 and 1957.
Kerr received a Canada Council Award in 1960 and traveled in England and France in 1960–61.

Kerr retired from teaching in 1967 and entered a period of great artistic productivity, painting landscapes and also making drawings and prints of animals.
He received an honorary doctorate from the University of Calgary in 1973.
The Kerrs began to spend their winters in the warmth of St. Lucia, Arizona, Maui, Barbados, Jamaica and Mazatlan.
Mary Spice Kerr died in 1982.
In 1983 Illingworth Kerr was named to the Order of Canada.
He died in Calgary on 6 January 1989 at the age of 83.
The Alberta University of the Arts Gallery was renamed the Illingworth Kerr Gallery in September 1990.

Work

Kerr made pictures of First Nations people, portraits, towns, wild animals and the landscapes of the prairies and Ontario.
He drew in charcoal and ink, and painted in oil, acrylic and watercolour.
Kerr also made prints with woodblock, linoblock, monotype and silkscreen.
Kerr's work has a two-dimensional quality.
His early landscapes show the influence of Lawren Harris, with his emphasis on design and use of long, curving brush strokes.
These paintings, in the tradition of the Group of Seven, depict angular fields, rolling skies and simple prairie towns.
His later work had a more broken style of brush strokes.
He experimented with abstracts based on the spaces of the prairie.

Kerr held retrospective exhibitions in 1940, 1962, 1975 and 1985.
The 1985 retrospective named "Harvest of the Spirit" toured nine major public galleries.
His work is held by the Art Gallery of Alberta, the Glenbow Museum in Calgary, the University of Lethbridge collection and the Mendel Art Gallery in Saskatoon.
The National Gallery of Canada in Ottawa also holds his work, as do many corporate and private collections.
Some of his drawings and prints are exhibited by the Lumsden Museum in his home town.
Stan Perrot, a former colleague at the Alberta College of Art, wrote that Kerr was "a tower of strength in Alberta... The painters of Alberta today may not paint like Buck Kerr—but they are his children. They all caught his spirit. He was the central reference point for artistic morality and dynamic living."

Publications

In the early 1930s Kerr's short stories were published in Blackwood's Magazine of Edinburgh.
Later publications include:

 (Illustrated stories of prairie life)

title: Frozen (franchise)

text:
Frozen is a Disney media franchise, beginning with the 2013 American animated feature film of the same name, which was directed by Chris Buck and Jennifer Lee, screenplay by Lee and produced by Peter Del Vecho, music score by Christophe Beck, and songs written by Robert Lopez and Kristen Anderson-Lopez. John Lasseter, then-chief creative officer of Walt Disney Animation Studios, served as the film's executive producer. The original film was inspired by Hans Christian Andersen's fairy tale, "The Snow Queen".

Since the film's release in November 2013, the franchise has expanded very rapidly. To date, the franchise includes various Disney theme park attractions, merchandise, video games, books, a Disney on Ice show, a Broadway stage musical and two short animated films. Disney has also released an animated film sequel, and a new book series. In November 2014, TheStreet.com explained that "Frozen is no longer a movie, it's a global brand, a larger than life franchise built around products, theme parks and sequels that could last into the next century". Boxoffice chief analyst Phil Contrino was quoted as saying "it's become massive".

History

Frozen was released in 2013 and was inspired by the Hans Christian Andersen fairy tale "The Snow Queen". The film earned two Academy Awards in 2014 (best animated feature and original song) and took in $1.28 billion globally and sold 4.1 million soundtracks by June 2016. The soundtrack has also been streamed over 51 million times since its release in 2013.

On March 12, 2015, at Disney's annual meeting of shareholders officially announced a full-length sequel was in development at Disney Studios. The Frozen Fever short film was released with Disney's full-length live-action Cinderella in 2015. With the success of the movie, Disney began work on three musical adaptations, for Disney California Adventure, Broadway and Disney Cruise Line, with the first starting in May 2016.

In June 2016, Disney announced a franchise extension called Frozen Northern Lights. This brand extension includes books, animated shorts and a TV special.

Theatrical films

Frozen (2013)

The 2013 animated film Frozen was released to critical acclaim and commercial success, sparking interest in related media to expand the Frozen universe. By June 2014, the film's reliance on Norway for visual inspiration had resulted in a significant increase in tourism in that country, with a 37% increase in tourists from the United States in the first quarter of 2014 (in comparison to the previous year's first quarter).  Tour operators (including Adventures by Disney) responded by adding more Norway tours.

When asked about future sequels, Del Vecho explained in March that Buck, Lee and he "work very, very well together, so I believe we will be developing a new project. But I don't know what that is right now."  In late April, Walt Disney Studios chairman Alan F. Horn said that "we haven't really talked about a sequel" because the studio's current priority is the planned Broadway musical, which will require "four or five" additional songs to be written by Lopez and Anderson-Lopez.  When asked in May about a sequel during an interview with CNBC's David Faber, Disney chairman and CEO Bob Iger said that Disney would not "mandate a sequel" or "force storytelling", because to do so would risk creating something not as good as the first film. In the same interview, Iger also expressed the hope that the Frozen franchise "is something that is kind of forever for the company" similar to The Lion King." In June, Lee confirmed that chief creative officer John Lasseter had expressly granted her and Buck the freedom to explore whatever they were "passionate about": "We don't know what it is yet ... We're actually going to start from scratch. It’ll be something completely brand new."

On August 5, 2014, Variety reported that Lee had selected her next project: a screenplay adaptation of Madeleine L'Engle's 1962 novel A Wrinkle in Time, for which Disney already holds the film adaptation rights.  However, Lee will continue to participate in Disney Animation's development process (i.e. giving notes on other projects, the same process by which she became involved with Frozen in the first place).

On November 28, 2014, in an interview with The Daily Telegraph, when asked about the possibilities of a Frozen sequel and a stage show, Idina Menzel mentioned "they're all in the works." She also talked about her involvement in these projects: "Ah, yeah sure... Not the stage show – I don't know what will happen with that – but the movie hopefully. We’ll see. I'm just going along for the ride." However, on December 1, when the subject came up again during an interview on the Today show on the NBC network, Menzel said, "You know, I have no idea. I just assumed that because it's so successful that's what they're up to!"

In a March 2015 interview with BuzzFeed about Frozen Fever, the directors addressed and refuted the recurring rumors about a possible feature-length sequel. Buck joked about how whenever they saw such rumors, he and Lee would ask each other, "Are we?"  Around the same time, Lasseter reiterated to Variety his philosophy as to sequels (while discussing Toy Story 4): "We do not do any sequel because we want to print money[.] We do it because each of these films was created by a group of filmmakers, and to my mind, they are the owners of that intellectual property. So we look at it with the simple question: Is there another story we can tell in this world? And that desire has to come from the filmmaker group. Sometimes, the answer is an obvious yes. And sometimes it's, 'I love the characters and I love the world, but I don't have an idea yet.' And sometimes it's just, 'that movie is a great movie,' and the filmmaker wants to move on and do something else. And that's fine, too."

Frozen tells the story of Anna and Elsa (2 princess sisters). Elsa possesses magical ice powers and while the 2 are close at birth they grow isolated when Elsa accidentally hurts Anna. Years later, Elsa's powers become exposed when she freezes the kingdom and she leaves Arendelle. Anna goes after her sister and along with Kristoff (an ice harvester), Olaf (a snowman) and Sven (Kristoff's best friend) she sets out to free her kingdom and reunite with Elsa.

Frozen II (2019)

On March 12, 2015, at Disney's annual meeting of shareholders in San Francisco, Iger, Lasseter, and actor Josh Gad (the voice of Olaf) officially announced that Frozen 2 was in development at Disney, with Buck and Lee returning as directors and Del Vecho returning as producer. Lasseter explained that at Disney Animation, "as with Pixar, when we do a sequel, it is because the filmmakers who created the original have created an idea that is so good that it's worthy of these characters." In the case of Frozen, the directors had "come up with a great idea for a sequel and you will be hearing a lot more about it, and we're taking you back to Arendelle." According to the Los Angeles Times, there was "considerable internal debate" at Disney over whether to proceed with a Frozen sequel at Disney Animation, but the unprecedented success of the first film apparently swayed Disney executives towards making a sequel.
A month later, Buck disclosed during a visit to Australia that the directors already had an idea for the sequel's ending, but they are still working on the story that will eventually culminate in that ending.  He acknowledged their awareness of the challenge they have undertaken: "How do we live up to the phenomenon of the first one? There's a lot of pressure. And we'll put that on ourselves too; we'll be very demanding about how good this one has to be."

In November 2015, Del Vecho, while visiting Duke University as the parent of a first-year Duke student, explained in an interview published in the Duke student newspaper that his days are currently divided between two things: "handling the Frozen franchise" and "working up ideas for the development of Frozen 2" with the directors. When asked what to expect from the sequel, Del Vecho stated: "We're excited by the ideas we have, but it's too early to talk about them. We wouldn't be making a sequel if we felt that we didn't have a story to tell that was equal to or greater than the original."

In March 2016, Kristen Bell, the voice of Anna, was asked if she had started recording for the Frozen sequel while doing promotional interviews for The Boss. She replied: "Not yet. We're just about to. They’ve just written it and they're still doing tweaks, but I think we should be recording this month. The story is great, and they exude quality .... It took them a while because they wanted to figure out what story they needed to tell and what would be important and engaging and I think they found it." In September, Bell explained in another interview that her earlier comments were mistaken, and she had not yet recorded lines for the sequel because Disney Animation was "still putting the finishing touches on the script," but in the meantime, she had already recorded lines and songs for other Frozen-related projects, like Olaf's Frozen Adventure.

In April 2017, it was announced that the sequel would be released on November 27, 2019.

In August 2017, it was announced that Frozen II would be released on Disney+ alongside Toy Story 4 and The Lion King.

In March 2018, Anderson-Lopez in an interview about Broadway's Frozen, for which she and her husband wrote the new featured songs, confirmed that they had already recorded a song for the sequel with Bell, the voice of Anna.

In July 2018, it was announced that Evan Rachel Wood and Sterling K. Brown had entered talks to join the cast in undisclosed roles. In August 2018, Allison Schroeder, the screenwriter of Hidden Figures and most recently, Disney's Christopher Robin was hired to assist screenwriting duties with Jennifer Lee after Lee assumed the role of chief creative officer of Disney Animation, succeeding Lasseter.

On November 1, 2018, Variety reported that Disney advanced five days the premiere of the film, which was initially scheduled for November 27, 2019 and now would be released on November 22, 2019.  The teaser trailer was released on February 13, 2019.

Future
In February 2023, Disney CEO Bob Iger announced that the franchise would continue with additional films.

Anna and Elsa were released as figurines in the Frozen toy box pack for the toy-based video game Disney Infinity on November 26, 2013, and both figures were released separately on March 11, 2014.

Additionally, Disney Mobile released a match-three game titled Frozen: Free Fall for Android, iOS, Windows Phone, and PlayStation 4 platforms. It takes place in the kingdom of Arendelle and closely follows the original story of the film, in which players can team up with Anna, Elsa, Kristoff, Hans, Olaf, Pabbie, and Sven to match puzzles with the help of each character's special power-ups.

Six mini-games can be played on the Disney website. Sony released a limited-edition Frozen-themed PlayStation 4 console in Japan at the time the film was released into the Japanese home video market.

In 2014, Frozen was co-branded with another Disney property – children's massively multiplayer online role-playing game Club Penguin, which became Frozen-themed for a period of time leading up to the Christmas season; the Frozen Party lasted from August 21 to September 3, 2014.

In 2015, Frozen Free Fall: Snowball Fight was released on PlayStation 4, PlayStation 3, Xbox One, Xbox 360, and Steam.

In the world builder game Disney Magic Kingdoms, during a limited time 2016 Event focused on Frozen were included Anna, Elsa, Olaf, Kristoff, Sven, and Hans as playable characters, along with some attractions based on locations of the film. In another limited time 2019 Event focused on Frozen II, were included Ryder, Honeymaren, and Fire Spirit as playable characters, along with some attractions based on locations of the sequel. The game also features optional costumes for the characters based on their clothes from the films and shorts from the franchise.

A world based on Frozen, "Arendelle" appears in the 2019 crossover video game Kingdom Hearts III, with the cast of the film reprising their voice roles.

Additionally, Elsa, Anna, Kristoff, and Olaf are all playable heroes in the mobile game Disney Heroes: Battle Mode. Sven also appears in Kristoff's green skill.

Anna, Elsa, and Kristoff are present in their Frozen II designs in the video game Disney Dreamlight Valley, where the player meets them during the progress of the story.

Board games
At least 24 board games have been released in conjunction with the Frozen films. The games include special editions of classic games including Monopoly, Don't Break the Ice, Candy Land, Chutes and Ladders, Labyrinth, and Yahtzee.

Television
The first Frozen film played a factor in the fourth season of Once Upon a Time, a series produced by Disney-owned ABC Studios. The conclusion of the show's third-season finale on May 11, 2014, revealed a new storyline that would incorporate elements from Frozen, centering on the arrival of Elsa, after her urn was accidentally thrust into a time-traveling portal from the Enchanted Forest back to present-day Storybrooke, Maine. The show's executive producers later explained that Disney had not asked them to do a crossover. Rather, they fell in love with Frozen when it premiered in November, saw it three more times, then developed a story idea in February and successfully pitched it to ABC Studios, the ABC network, and then Disney brand management. The producers shared that "their writers' room was "basically a 'Frozen' appreciation room" and they would be "completely honored" if the original movie stars wanted to reprise their roles. Producer Adam Horowitz said that they were not going to "redo" the film: "We're very aware of what we think makes this character from 'Frozen' so special and we want to honor that and make sure that what we do is in the universe of [what] everyone fell in love with this past year."

Anna, Elsa and Kristoff appeared in the show, the cast consisting of Georgina Haig as Elsa, Elizabeth Lail as Anna, and Scott Michael Foster as Kristoff. Other Frozen characters in the show included Hans (who appears in the third episode of season 4), portrayed by Tyler Jacob Moore and John Rhys-Davies as the voice of rock troll Pabbie. The show's fourth season depicted a storyline taking place two years after the animated film's events. The arc ended after the season's twelfth episode, "Heroes and Villains". The characters would occasionally be referenced and locations seen from then forward.

A one-hour special titled The Story of Frozen: Making a Disney Animated Classic aired on September 2, 2014, on ABC. It featured interviews with some of the cast and the creative team of the film, footage from Norway that inspired the look of Frozen, announcements of what is next for the franchise, and a preview of Anna, Elsa, and Kristoff's appearance in Once Upon a Time. The special also included a sneak peek of Walt Disney Animation Studios' Big Hero 6.

Olaf made an appearance in an episode of Sofia the First titled "The Secret Library: Olaf and the Tale of Miss Nettle", premiered February 15, 2016 on Disney Channel and Disney Junior, where he is once again voiced by Josh Gad.

Arendelle Castle Yule Log, an animated yule log television program, was released to Disney+ in mid-December 2019. The program, which lasts about 3 hours, features a yule log burning in Arendelle Castle's fireplace while Kristoff, Olaf and Sven make appearances. An updated version was released in December 2020.

The DVD/Blu-ray for the short film was released in the US and Canada on November 13, 2018.

Short series

At Home with Olaf (2020)
Disney released a series of short clips centered entirely around Olaf on their YouTube and Twitter pages on April 6, 2020. The shorts feature Josh Gad reprising his role as Olaf, and were animated by Hyrum Osmond and a few other animators, from their homes. These shorts were made during the COVID-19 pandemic. The series ended on May 13 of that year with a special musical montage short entitled I Am with You. The latter contains clips from other Disney animated films, such as Dumbo, Cinderella, Beauty and the Beast, Hercules, Wreck-It Ralph, the original Frozen, and more. 21 shorts were released in total.

Olaf Presents (2021)

Olaf Presents was released on Disney+ on November 12, 2021, to coincide with Disney+ Day. The series of shorts center on Olaf narrating Disney stories "as only he can". The series is inspired by a scene in Frozen II in which Olaf recapped the entirety of the first film in 90 seconds. The five recapped films in the series are The Little Mermaid, Aladdin, The Lion King, Tangled and Moana.

Docuseries

Into the Unknown: Making Frozen II (2020)

A documentary series about the making of Frozen II was launched on Disney+, entitled Into the Unknown: Making Frozen II, starting on June 26, 2020. Throughout six episodes, the series follows the production crew and voice cast of Frozen II in the film's final year of development. It was directed by Megan Harding, and produced by Lincoln Square Productions. Harding aimed to represent the production process honestly and the crew filmed for 115 days.

A radio program titled Frozen Radio is another format used to provide Frozen and other Disney songs to listeners. Additionally, a song titled "The Making of Frozen" was written as a featurette for the DVD/Blu-ray release of Frozen.

In addition to the songs from the film, the Broadway stage production added 11 songs and 3 reprises, including a "Let It Go" reprise as the finale. In 2019, for the North American tour, a new song "I Can't Lose You" was added to replace "For The First Time in Forever (reprise)". This change was then implemented to the Broadway production beginning February 18, 2020.

Live shows
With the success of the movie, Disney began work on three musical adaptations, as an attraction at the Hyperion Theater in Disney California Adventure, for Broadway and Disney Cruise Line.

Disney on Ice

On May 20, 2014, it was reported that Feld Entertainment's Disney on Ice was planning an ice skating show based on Frozen with assistance from the film's producers and directors, and that the show would start touring in September 2014 starting in Orlando, Florida, with a cast of 39. The show's world premiere was presented on September 4, 2014, at Orlando's Amway Center.  Feld Entertainment disclosed in November that they had sold 250,000 tickets on the day they first became available and expected that over one million people would have seen the Frozen show by the end of 2014.

The show includes a traditional "Ice Follies PinWheel" while still performing difficult ice skating jumps. All the popular songs from the movie are included. About Figure Skating Expert Jo Ann Schneider Farris gave it 5 stars.

Broadway stage musical (2018)

In January 2014, Iger stated that Disney Theatrical Productions is in early development of a Broadway stage musical adaptation of Frozen. No specific date has yet been set for this adaptation. "We're not demanding speed," Iger said. "We're demanding excellence."

During Disney's February 2014 earnings call, Iger congratulated "all those involved with Frozen" and reiterated that it would "be going to Broadway." He also noted that Frozen "has real franchise potential" and predicted that "You will see Frozen in more places than you've certainly seen today."

At the end of March 2014, Del Vecho confirmed that there had been "discussions on how we can support the [film's] characters at other locations [and] [w]e are also discussing making a theatrical [musical] version of Frozen, but these things take time."  In late June, Anderson-Lopez and Lopez said there will be a musical based on Frozen within "a few years".

In an October 2014 interview, Thomas Schumacher, the president of Disney Theatrical Group, disclosed that discussions about a musical had begun even before the film was released almost a year earlier. After watching Frozen at a pre-release midnight screening, he texted Lasseter at 1:30 a.m. with "When can we start?" and got a call back from Lasseter within 60 seconds. Schumacher explained: "My job is to corral the writers of the movie. I'm already talking to directors, and I have a design concept, and we have to begin to fashion this idea. It doesn't need to be fast. It needs to be great."

On 13 February 2015, Schumacher issued a terse statement confirming that the songwriters were working on the show and that Lee would be writing the "book" of the stage version (the musical equivalent of a script), then stressed that "no other staffing or dates have been announced".

On July 23, 2015, The New York Times reported that among various projects, the songwriters were "writing about a dozen new songs" for the Frozen musical.

On February 9, 2016, Disney Theatrical announced that the musical was scheduled to open on Broadway in spring 2018. At that time, Disney also confirmed that several additional people were now part of the musical's creative team, including Timbers as director, as well as Stephen Oremus, Peter Darling, Bob Crowley, and Natasha Katz. Two days later, it was confirmed that the musical would first go through a pre-Broadway tryout in August 2017 at the Denver Center for the Performing Arts. In April 2016, it was reported that Betsy Wolfe had been cast as Elsa, but a Disney spokesperson said on April 26 that no roles have been officially cast.

On April 25, the songwriters mentioned to an interviewer that they were about to head into a developmental lab next week for the musical.  Anderson-Lopez explained that while "the movie only has seven-and-a-half songs ... we’ve written about 23" for the musical," in the sense that they doubled the number of original songs and then there are reprises of those.  Lopez explained that the musical would follow the same story as the film, but they were adapting all the iconic moments from the film to the musical theatre environment.  It was later reported that the musical's first developmental lab was held over two weeks during May 2016 in New York City, with Betsy Wolfe as Elsa, Patti Murin as Anna, Okieriete Onaodowan as Kristoff, and Greg Hildreth as Olaf, and that Iger himself attended the lab at one point.  However, Disney had not yet committed to a cast for the Denver tryout production.

On September 27, 2016, Disney announced the new creative team: Michael Grandage is the director and Christopher Oram is the scenic designer. Christopher Gattelli had been previously announced as choreographer. (Alex Timbers and Bob Crowley are no longer involved.) The musical opened on Broadway at the St. James Theatre. On March 11, 2020, the day before Broadway shut down due to the pandemic, the Broadway production closed after 26 previews and 825 performances.

Podcast
On September 27, 2023, a new podcast entitled Frozen: Forces of Nature was released on Wondery, before the first two episodes were released to other podcasting platforms on October 11, 2023.

Reception

Box office performance
Frozen earned $400.7 million in North America, and an estimated $880 million in other countries, for a worldwide total of $1,280,802,282. Calculating in all expenses, Deadline Hollywood estimated that the film made a profit of over $400 million. It is the sixteenth-highest-grossing film (formerly the fifth-highest at its peak), the third highest-grossing animated film (formerly the highest at its peak), the highest-grossing 2013 film, the third highest-grossing Walt Disney Pictures release, and the tenth highest-grossing film distributed by Disney. The film earned $110.6 million worldwide in its opening weekend. On March 2, 2014, its 101st day of release, it surpassed the $1 billion mark, becoming the eighteenth film in cinematic history, the seventh Disney-distributed film, the fifth non-sequel film, the second Disney-distributed film in 2013 (after Iron Man 3), and the first animated film since Toy Story 3 to do so.

Critical response

Merchandise
During the Walt Disney Company's 2014 first-quarter earnings conference call on February 5, 2014, Iger alluded to "high demand for Frozen merchandise", which was expanded upon by Disney senior executive vice president and chief financial officer Jay Rasulo: "Over the most recent quarter...if I had to pick out a single item, I would say Frozen items were the single most demanded items at Disney Stores." In March 2014, Bloomberg Businessweek reported that Disney had sold almost 500,000 Anna and Elsa dolls, with a 5,000 limited-edition run selling out online in only 45 minutes in January. Demand only increased further after the mid-March home video release; toy industry expert Jim Silver explained home video enabled children to "watch it over and over again" and "fall in love" with the film's characters. Chris Buck mentioned in an April 2014 interview that the directors had not bought anything for themselves "thinking it wouldn't be a problem, and now everything's sold out!" By mid-April, U.S. consumer demand for Frozen merchandise was so high that resale prices for higher-quality limited-edition Frozen dolls and costumes had skyrocketed past $1,000 on eBay, both Disney and its licensees had arranged for air freight to rush fresh inventory to retailers besieged by desperate parents, and some of those parents had begun publicly venting their frustration through social media outlets such as the Disney Store's Facebook page. Needham & Co. analyst Sean McGowan compared the situation to the 1980s Cabbage Patch Kids craze, where "the demand is ... driven by the scarcity because of the social status attached to being able to find it."  Fed up with the shortage, some parents took a "do it yourself" approach, and others went for custom-made replicas on crafts sites like Etsy. Similar shortages of Frozen merchandise were reported during spring 2014 in the United Kingdom, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, France,  and Singapore.

In a mid-April interview, Disney Store Vice President Jonathan Storey admitted that although Disney had high expectations for the film, "demand went even higher than they thought it ever would." He also promised that more Frozen merchandise would be delivered to Disney Store locations immediately through regular shipments, and that new products were being developed for release throughout the year.  By the end of April, Disney Parks had imposed a five-item limit at its stores, while Disney Store had imposed a two-item limit, restricted the release of the most popular items to store opening on Saturday mornings, and required guests to enter into a lottery on those mornings just for the chance to purchase the very popular Elsa costumes.

During The Walt Disney Company's 2014 second-quarter earnings call on May 6, 2014, Iger said Frozen "is definitely up there in terms of, probably, our top five franchises", and that the company will "take full advantage of that over the next at least five years." He also explained Disney was still working on the musical, as well as publishing, interactive, and theme park projects. Rasulo disclosed that nine of the ten best-selling items at Disney Store in the second quarter were Frozen-related.

In response to demand from private art collectors for official Frozen-inspired fine art, the first batch of 10 artworks approved by Disney Fine Art went on sale in May 2014, at an art gallery in Sacramento, California.

A few days earlier, on May 1, 2014, it had been reported that Disney Consumer Products was developing a comprehensive program of new Frozen merchandise for 2014 and 2015, which would include additional role play and plush items as well as "home décor, bath, textile, footwear", sporting goods, consumer electronics, and pool and summer toys (the last two to come in summer 2015). On June 25, 2014, DCP presented a "holiday fair" to journalists in New York City for the 2014 Christmas and holiday season, which included numerous Frozen-related items. MTV News warned parents to prepare to "'[l]et it go,' and by 'it' we mean 'your money.'" In early August, Fortune reported that Frozen could hit $1 billion in merchandise sales just in the U.S. market alone (that is, excluding sales of the actual film itself) by the end of 2014, with about half of that amount coming from toys. Advertising Age reported at the start of September that the Frozen brand would be expanding soon to even more kinds of products, such as backpacks, fruit, juice, yogurt, bandages, and oral care.

In late September, film reviewer Kyle Smith of the New York Post wrote about how Disney had sent him an early DVD copy of Frozen almost a year earlier for him to review, and as a result had cost him approximately $900 in merchandise.  He explained, "Frozen has turned my sweet daughters into mad merch-munching dragons who get all the hungrier the more we feed them."

On October 9, 2014, Iger acknowledged at a conference on new media in San Francisco that demand for Frozen costumes "has been crazy since the movie came out, crazier than we ever anticipated, because, who knew?" He added that Disney was now "definitely prepared" to meet consumer demand.  Around the same time, the National Retail Federation published a survey projecting that Frozen costumes would be the fourth most popular category of children's costumes for Halloween 2014, in that about 2.6 million American children were expected to dress up as Frozen characters. The Fresno Bee estimated that with all the accessories released for Halloween 2014, it would cost about $94 to fully costume a girl as Elsa.

At the start of November, it was reported that the shortage of Frozen merchandise was finally over, and Disney and its licensees had "adapted to a new reality where demand for Frozen merchandise seems unquenchable." Disney announced that it had sold over three million Frozen costumes in North America alone, of which Elsa was the no. 1 best-selling Disney costume of all time, followed by Anna at no. 2. Walmart went into the 2014 Christmas and holiday season with about 700 distinct Frozen-related items of merchandise in stock. Among the Frozen-branded products made available in the U.S. market in late 2014 were duct tape and a version of Monopoly Junior marketed with the tagline, "Whoever collects the most cash will thaw their freezing heart and win". The "Frozen juggernaut" was cited as a major reason for a significant decline during 2014 in sales figures for other toy brands, including Hello Kitty and Barbie. The National Retail Federation's 2014 Holiday Top Toys Survey found that 20 percent of U.S. parents planned to buy Frozen-related merchandise for their girls, compared to only 16.8 percent who planned to buy Barbie merchandise. This meant Frozen toys were the No. 1 item on "holiday wish lists of girls", a position which Barbie had previously held for 11 years. The New York Times reporter Binyamin Appelbaum compared Disney's spectacular success with the Frozen merchandise brand to the pharmaceutical industry, in the sense that the actual consumer of the product is usually not the person who is stuck with the bill: "After all, who wants to say no to their princess?" NPD Group later estimated that Frozen merchandise had brought in $531 million in gross revenue during 2014, meaning that Frozen was the top toy brand of the year.

On February 3, 2015, Disney Consumer Products reported a 22% rise in revenue and a 46% rise in operating income for the quarter ending on December 27, 2014 (as compared to the quarter a year earlier). The largest driver of that growth was Frozen merchandise.  During the Walt Disney Company's earnings call on that same date, Frozen was mentioned 24 times, "more than 'Star Wars,' 'The Avengers,' 'Cinderella' and 'Spider-Man' combined." The next day, Disney's stock price jumped 8% in one day to close at a record high of $101.28 per share. The brand's success was only reinforced further on June 9, 2015, when Frozen won multiple awards at the LIMA International Licensing Awards ceremony in Las Vegas, including Overall Best Licensed Program and Film, Television, or Entertainment (Animated) Program. Jakks Pacific's Elsa toy won the award for Film, Television, or Entertainment (Animated) Licensee: Hard Goods (in a tie with Playmates Toys' Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles), while Kohl's won the Retailer award for its presentation of Frozen products.

Activities and locations

Meet-and-greets

The meet-and-greets with Anna and Elsa at Disneyland and Epcot had been initially sponsored by The Walt Disney Studios as short-term temporary attractions starting from November 2013 to promote the film, but in February 2014, Disney Parks decided to extend them indefinitely in response to unprecedented demand. By the beginning of March, wait time was reportedly as long as four or five hours to see Anna and Elsa, which fueled outside speculation about whether Disney Parks would respond with additional Frozen-specific attractions. After wait times at Norway pavilion in Walt Disney World's Epcot reportedly reached six hours, in mid-April the Anna and Elsa meet-and-greets were finally moved to Princess Fairytale Hall at Magic Kingdom, where park guests could use the new FastPass+ reservation system (part of Disney's MyMagic+ project) to bypass the lengthy wait time. Jezebel.com commented on the phenomenon, "Word has it that those characters are like the Beatles now, attracting large crowds of screaming females." However, , there have not been any plans for Anna and Elsa to join the Disney Princess line-up, though Disney Store confirmed that it was still possible the characters would be added to that franchise in the future. When later asked about the situation with the meet-and-greets, Buck said, "Oh, it's crazy."
He saw the four-hour-long line himself during a Disneyland visit in the summer of 2014, and tactfully declined a fellow visitor's suggestion to introduce himself to the huge crowd. In September 2014, a FastPass system was added to the Anna and Elsa meet-and-greet at Disneyland.

In Christmas 2014, Hong Kong Disneyland opened a Frozen meet-and-greet in Fantasyland featuring Anna and Elsa. It requires a reservation ticket (similar to Disney Fastpasses) to meet them due to the high popularity of the film. There was also a puppet show about Olaf's search for summer in Fantasyland.

Meet-and-greets with Anna and Elsa were introduced for the Christmas season in 2014 (mid-November 2014 to early January 2015) at Disneyland Paris in the Princess Pavilion. Reservation tickets were issued each morning for a limited number of slots. Due to queue lengths and poor guest behavior, the meet-and-greets were discontinued in early 2015 and have only returned irregularly, and unannounced, in the Disneyland Hotel.

Frozen Celebration
On November 19, 2019, Disneyland Paris announced a new winter season based on Frozen and Frozen II. Frozen Celebration is currently running in both Disneyland Park and the Walt Disney Studios Park from January 11 to May 3, 2020. Headlining Frozen Celebration is Frozen 2: An Enchanted Journey, a parade-show cavalcade on the Central Plaza stage of Disneyland Park.

The 1912 United States presidential election in Virginia took place on November 5, 1912. Voters chose 12 representatives, or electors to the Electoral College, who voted for president and vice president.

The 1900s had seen Virginia, like all former Confederate States, almost completely disenfranchise its black and poor white populations through the use of a cumulative poll tax and literacy tests. So severe was the disenfranchising effect of the new 1902 Constitution that the electorate for the 1904 presidential election was halved compared to that of previous elections, and it has been calculated that a third of those who voted were state employees and officeholders. The limited electorate meant Virginian politics was controlled by political machines — firstly one led by Thomas Staples Martin and after he died the Byrd Organization.

However, unlike the Deep South, historical fusion with the “Readjuster” Democrats, defection of substantial proportions of the Northeast-aligned white electorate of the Shenandoah Valley and Southwest Virginia over free silver, and an early move towards a “lily white” Jim Crow party meant that in general elections the Republicans retained around one-third of the small statewide electorate, with the majority of GOP support located in the western part of the state.

With the already minority state Republican Party divided between conservative incumbent President William Howard Taft and  Progressive nominee, former President Theodore Roosevelt, it was clear that the gains Taft had long hoped for in the South would not be made at this election. Polls as early as July showed Virginia as completely safe for Democratic nominee and New Jersey Governor Wilson. By October it was widely believed that only a few dissident officeholders were behind the Progressive Party.

Ultimately Wilson won Virginia by 48.96 percentage points over Taft, with Roosevelt a close third. Wilson carried all but two counties, and won the largest popular-vote victory in Virginia since Andrew Jackson in 1832 — although Franklin D. Roosevelt would three times exceed his popular vote percentage. Wilson ultimately won the national election with 41.84 percent of the vote. , this is the last election in which Floyd County did not vote for the Republican candidate.

title: Durham Historic District

text:
The Durham Historic District encompasses a portion of the original historic settlement area of Durham, New Hampshire.  It extends along Newmarket Road (New Hampshire Route 108) from its northern junction with Laurel Lane to a three-way junction with Main Street and Dover Road (the latter being the continuation of NH 108).  From there it extends along Main Street to Madbury Road.  This area, known in early colonial days as the Oyster River Plantation, for the Oyster River which bisects it, was first settled in 1649.  It was developed in the 18th century as a significant shipbuilding center.  The district was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1980.

Buildings

Prominent buildings in the district include Durham's town hall (a c. 1825 brick building) and town office building (a c. 1860 vernacular house), and the Durham Community Church, built in 1848–49, which is the focal point of the Main Street section of the district.  Along Newmarket Street stand a row of 18th and 19th-century houses just south of the Oyster River.  Notable among these are the John Sullivan House, a National Historic Landmark that was home to American Revolutionary War General and Governor of New Hampshire John Sullivan, and the Hill-Woodman-Ffrost House, which has an ell that is believed to date to 1649, and has been in the Ffrost family since the late 18th century; it may be one of the oldest buildings in New Hampshire.  The Newmarket section also includes the Red School House, originally built as a school c. 1796, and a monument to John Sullivan placed by the state in 1894 at the site of the 1716 meeting house.
