title: The Man Who Knew Infinity

text:
The Man Who Knew Infinity is a 2015 British biographical drama film about the Indian mathematician Srinivasa Ramanujan, based on the 1991 book of the same name by Robert Kanigel.

The film stars Dev Patel as Srinivasa Ramanujan, a real-life mathematician who, after growing up poor in Madras, India, earns admittance to Cambridge University during World War I, where he becomes a pioneer in mathematical theories with the guidance of his professor, G. H. Hardy, portrayed by Jeremy Irons.

Filming began in August 2014 at Trinity College, Cambridge after eight years in development. The film had its world premiere as a gala presentation at the 2015 Toronto International Film Festival, and was selected as the opening gala of the 2015 Zurich Film Festival. It also played other film festivals including Singapore International Film Festival and Dubai International Film Festival.

Plot
At the turn of the twentieth century, Srinivasa Ramanujan is a struggling and indigent citizen in the city of Madras in India working at menial jobs at the edge of poverty. While performing his menial labor, his employers notice that he seems to have exceptional skills in mathematics and they begin to make use of him for rudimentary accounting tasks. It becomes equally clear to his employers, who are college-educated, that Ramanujan's mathematical insights exceed the simple accounting tasks they are assigning to him and soon they encourage him to make his personal writings in mathematics available to the general public and to start to contact professors of mathematics at universities by writing to them. One such letter is sent to G.H. Hardy, a famous mathematician at University of Cambridge, who begins to take a special interest in Ramanujan.

Hardy soon invites Ramanujan to Cambridge to test his mettle as a potential theoretical mathematician. Ramanujan is overwhelmed by the opportunity and decides to pursue Hardy's offer, even though this means he must leave his wife Janaki for an extended period. He parts lovingly with Janaki and promises to keep up his correspondence with her.

Upon arrival at Cambridge, Ramanujan encounters various forms of racial prejudice and finds his adjustment to life in England more difficult than expected. Hardy, though much impressed by Ramanujan's abilities, remains concerned about Ramanujan's ability to communicate effectively due to his lack of experience in writing proofs, but with perseverance, he manages to get Ramanujan published in a major journal. In the meantime, Ramanujan is diagnosed with tuberculosis and his frequent letters home to his wife remain unanswered after many months. Hardy continues to see much more promise in Ramanujan. However, he remains unaware of the personal difficulties his student is having with his housing and with his lack of contact with his family back home in India. Ramanujan's health worsens while he continues delving into deeper and more profound research interests in mathematics under the guidance of Hardy and others at Cambridge.

Janaki, after much elapsed time, wonders why she has not heard from Ramanujan and eventually discovers that his mother has been intercepting his letters, and withholding hers to him. Hardy makes special efforts to get Ramanujan's now recognizably exceptional mathematical skills accepted by the university, by nominating Ramanujan for a fellowship of Trinity College. At first, Hardy fails for reasons related to college politics and racial prejudice. By gaining the support of key members of the college, Hardy again successfully nominates Ramanujan as a Fellow of the Royal Society, thereby forcing his acceptance as a fellow of Trinity. Ramanujan is eventually reunited with his family in India, though his declining health, exacerbated by poor housing and harsh winter weather in England, ultimately takes its toll and leads to his death aged 32, soon after his recognition as a mathematician of international merit and importance.

Cast

While Irons is more than 40 years Patel's senior, the real Hardy was only 10 years older than Ramanujan.

Production
Tamil actor R. Madhavan was initially selected to portray the lead role in the film after agreeing terms during January 2012, but the makers eventually decided they wanted an international actor to play Ramanujan.

Reception
Film review aggregator Rotten Tomatoes reports that 63% of critics gave the film a positive rating, based on 131 reviews with an average score of 6.2/10. The critics' consensus reads: "The Man Who Knew Infinity might be a tad too conventional to truly do its subject justice, but Dev Patel (Srinivasa Ramanujan) and Jeremy Irons (G.H. Hardy) elevate the end result beyond mere biopic formula." Metacritic, which uses a weighted average, assigned a score of 56 out of 100 based on 26 critics, indicating "mixed or average reviews".

After the film's world premiere, Allan Hunter in Screen Daily found the film to be "a well-heeled, sincere production following the memories of Ramanujan's English mentor and friend... The film tells such a good story that it is hard to resist. The old-fashioned virtues of a well-told tale and a particularly fine performance from Jeremy Irons should endear the film to that supposedly under-served older demographic who like to turn out for a weekday matinee... Mathematics plays a key role in the story, but in a way that is entirely accessible, allowing the viewer to comprehend the advances that Ramanujan made and why his legacy remains so important almost a century after his death."
Deborah Young in The Hollywood Reporter found the film to be a "respectable but all too conventional biopic".

Mathematicians Ken Ono and Manjul Bhargava collaborated on the film, which has been praised by mathematicians and scientists for its accurate mathematics and authentic portrayal of mathematicians.
George E. Andrews, former President of the American Mathematical Society, praised the film for its moving portrayal of the deep relationship between Ramanujan and Hardy.
The London Mathematical Society proclaimed that the film "outshines Good Will Hunting in almost every way".
Reviewing the film for Nature, Andrew Robinson wrote that "the film took more than ten years to create. It is worth the wait."

Release
Mister Smith Entertainment handled international sales of the film. Warner Bros. released the film in the United Kingdom on 8 April 2016. IFC Films released it in the U.S. on 29 April 2016.

title: Frans Van Kuyck

text:
Frans Pieter Lodewijk van Kuyck (9 June 1852, Antwerp - 31 May 1915, Antwerp) was a Belgian painter and graphic artist. He is also known for helping to establish Mother's Day in Belgium.

Life and career
He came from a family of artists. His father was the painter, Louis Van Kuyck. His grandfather was also a painter, and his son was the architect, Walter Van Kuyck (1876-1934). He studied at the Royal Academy of Fine Arts and his first well-known work was the official poster for the Exposition Universelle d'Anvers (1885).

Later, as a teacher at the Academy, he became involved in the cultural and political life of Antwerp. In 1888, he became a provincieraadslid (county councilor) and, from 1891, served as an Alderman of Fine Arts on the Antwerp City Council. He also sat on the boards of several museums, including what is now the Plantin-Moretus Museum, and was chairman of the "Koninklijk Kunstverbond Antwerpen" (Cercle Royal Artistique).

During his time in office, the Vlaamse Opera Company was officially established and monuments were erected for Peter Benoit, Hendrik Conscience and Jan Van Rijswijck. On his initiative, the city acquired Schoonselhof cemetery and created the Nachtegalen Park. He was also the driving force behind the purchase and restoration of the "Vleeshuis" (a Medieval Guild Hall). In addition, he oversaw the beautification and expansion of the Leysstraat in 1898.

In the Summer of 1913, he wrote a pamphlet, De Dag der moeders (Mother's Day) and formed the first committee to promote its establishment as an official holiday.

title: Durella (musician)

text:
Oluwadamilare Okulaja, also known as Durella (King of the Zanga), is a Nigerian recording artist, performer, songwriter and businessman. He is known for his singles, "Enu Ose", "Shayo", "Wizkolo Wiska", "Club Rock" and "GaGa" featuring Wizkid. He appeared on songs with stars such as Dbanj, Femi Kuti, Duncan Mighty, Terry G, Olamide, and Dammy Krane, and performed live with Wyclef Jean in South Africa. In 2008 Durella was awarded "MTV Base Advance Warning Artist" of the year.  He is the first Nigerian artist to own a shoe line: Durella Sneakers, named after his popular slogan "2Gbaski". Durella issued his debut album King Of The Zanga under TC- Record Label. His second album was Reconfigurated.

Early life
Durella, real name Oluwadamilare, (meaning: The Lord has rewarded me) was born in Zaria, Kaduna State. He grew up in Mushin and Ajegunle, and studied insurance before dropping out of school due to financial challenges.

Durella wrote his first song at age 13.

He ascribed his moniker "Durella" by saying  "the street" gave it to him. Originally his nickname was Durel, but this was later changed to Durella. While he was known as Durel, he was an R&B artist and released a single titled "Why".

Career
In February 2006, at a chance meeting in the town of Ibadan, Durella met executives from TcRecords while performing at a fashion show. He signed a deal a week later.

On his interview by CompassOnline news, he added that his other appellation is reflective of his roots. "The kind of music I play now is the music for the streets and I have termed it commercial universal street music, (if there is anything like that)."

Voice resemblance conflict
Critics have argued that Durella sounds like Dapo Oyebanji, popularly known as D'banj. But Durella disagrees, saying: "The most important element that makes you a musician is the lyrical content on your music. You must also be very versatile and be sure to get returns on investment. These three things make you stand out. If you don't have them, you can't even sell ten copies. All I know is that I am me, so there is no basis for comparison with D'banj."

His musical prowess was attested by his victory at the Airtel (formerly Zain)/MTV Advance Warning Competition where he won $50,000 with the song, "Life in Zanga". He said: "Obviously, that exposed me to a whole new world of opportunities. Out of twenty-six artistes that participated, we were shortlisted to thirteen stellar cast of talented musicians including Kel, MI, Soty etc before I emerged the winner. With that, I believe that I'm not just a fluke, I have the talent and I'm harnessing it."

Durella recorded the song "Enu o se", "it is better to go all out to get whatever you want than paying lip service".

title: Donny Pauling

text:
Donny Pauling (born ) is a former pornographic film producer who later worked as an anti-porn activist, Christian speaker, and Internet advertiser. His views were shaped by his time in the porn industry, in which he worked for nine years, and led him to view its effect as detrimental to persons involved.

In 2015, Pauling admitted to engaging in sex with three teenage girls from 2012 to 2014, "motivated by an unnatural or abnormal interest in children," according to his plea. He pleaded no contest and agreed to a 6-year prison sentence.

Early life
Pauling was born the son of a Pentecostal pastor. He has stated that his strong Christian upbringing is what began to turn him away from Christianity. When he was a senior in high school he moved into his aunt's home in another city to take an advanced math class. It was here he met his future wife, Wendy, who was a devout Christian. He would eventually reconvert to Christianity. They dated for many years before finally marrying. Pauling has stated that it was during this time, when he lived with his young wife, that they purchased a computer and he began his fascination with pornography. Eventually he decided he somehow wanted a career making pornography and founded Pauling Technology Consulting.

Career in pornography
Pauling Technology Consulting was founded in 1997 to create pornographic content to be licensed by other larger companies. He funded this side business all through his own money he had saved up. For the first three years of his career, it was a side business of his that earned him extra income. When he eventually told his wife about his activities, the marriage fell apart and he moved into his office. When he began doing his porn career full-time, the first month he brought in over $50,000.

He began at first taking photos of young women, ultimately filming scenes of both "hardcore" and "softcore" pornography. He created content with pornographic models and actresses that he then published under contract for larger porn sites. One of his largest and most lucrative contracts was with Playboy, with whom he worked for many years.

For several years he was averaging an income of around half a million dollars. Pauling stated that he was deeply immersed in the lifestyle, wealth, and affluence that came with his career. He claims it further pushed him away from his family and Christianity. He again fell out of Christianity at this time, developing a hatred for it. Part of this hatred, he has stated, stemmed from Christian groups protesting against his work or outside porn conventions telling him he was "going to hell".

Pauling routinely advertised his content on Christian web pages and forums, since he saw them as 'hypocrites' and 'sexually repressed'. He has claimed that it was on these databases and forums that he received some of his greatest number of clients.

Despite his continuing and successful career he began to despise the man he had become. He has stated that late in his career, many of the women he had recruited into the industry had contacted him in the hopes of having their Internet content taken down, although he lacked the authority to do so. He has also stated that several of these women had careers and relationships ruined due to their involvement in pornography.

XXX Church
In 2006, while entering the Las Vegas Porn Convention, and after being accosted by Christian protesters, he took notice of a sign for XXXChurch, a church group preaching acceptance of any and all persons, including porn-industry workers. He had previously been introduced to XXCChurch in 2002, but it had not taken serious steps into joining until then. XXXChurch, headed by Craig Gross became very popular at porn conventions, brothels, strip clubs, etc. Pauling became interested in this group, as it preached tolerance for all. “The Christians I grew up around would never talk to a porn producer, much less broadcast it to their listeners...But they were doing things in such a different way. They were actually loving people. It was such a non-confrontational approach. I couldn't help but say, if I was going to be a Christian, this is the kind of Christian I’d want to be.”

At first he was antagonistic towards the group, calling them 'hypocrites' and posting online comments such as "God does not exist". However, over time he became more open and accepting of the group. He eventually would become more active in it, eventually joining and deciding to reconvert once more.

He had begun to detest the lifestyle and affects pornography had on his life.

Leaving the industry
Due to his reconversion into Christianity, he began second-guessing his career in pornography. He was offered a new, very lucrative contract by Playboy. At first he intended to accept the offer, believing that his Christian faith and a porn career were compatible. However, after what he claims to be an intervention by God, he decided that he could no longer stay in the industry.

Soon after he partially reconciled with his wife, although they remain divorced. Quitting the industry, he suddenly had much less income. However the family received large donations from various Christian charities and Pauling has stated that all his hatred of Christianity melted then.

He has lamented at the number of women he had previously recruited or worked with who have since contacted him depicting their regret and shame at having done porn.

Anti-porn activism
Pauling soon after began taking seminary classes to become a Pastor. He viewed his previous life in porn production and use as an addiction and began speaking about it. With the help of Craig Gross and XXXChurch, he started an outreach that spoke about the dangers of pornography from multiple points of view. Pauling said that pornography was addictive and that the industry was harmful to women. As a Christian, he believed it to be sinful. Pauling has expressed the view that pornography use can lead to other more serious vices including sex trafficking.

Guilty Pleasure
Pauling spoke at the Guilty Pleasure conference in Melbourne, Australia. Guilty Pleasure is a non-profit Christian organization with the goal of showing the negative effects of pornography use. At this conference Pauling explained his mission to educate the world on the negative effects of porn usage. In this conference he also illustrated how widespread porn usage was, even among Christian groups.

He has done several interviews for Guilty Pleasure in which he expresses his beliefs that porn is incredibly damaging to the actors who partake, along with families, and individuals themselves. He states that porn usage is overall degrading for all parties involved and seeks to educate users on the damage they do to themselves.

Debate
Pauling and Gross together debated at Yale University against two famous porn actors including Ron Jeremy. In the debate, Pauling and Gross said that today far more porn is viewed than historically and that it has become more accessible to young children.

Pauling stated that porn is incredibly degrading to the women, and sometimes men, involved. The other side did not deny that exploitation and abuse happens, but claimed that women accepted the risk of doing porn. The debate was inconclusive, but each side kept strongly to their beliefs.

Sex charges
Pauling was arrested December 1, 2014 on three felony sex charges, including unlawful intercourse (statutory rape), after a 16-year-old female told law enforcement that Pauling had ongoing sexual contact with her for the past three years.  The teen informed detectives that Pauling had told her that if she were to ever tell officers about the relationship, she should tell him first so he could kill himself. She also said Pauling told her he wasn't like other child molesters because he loved her.

On October 15, 2015, Pauling admitted to engaging in oral and vaginal sex with that victim from when she was age 14 in 2012, continuing into 2014. He also admitted to lewd or lascivious behavior with a 16-year-old female, “motivated by an unnatural or abnormal interest in children,” according to the plea. Pauling also admitted massaging a third teen victim's genitals in early 2014. He pleaded no contest and agreed to a 6-year prison sentence.

title: List of Stuart Little characters

text:
Fictional characters of the Stuart Little franchise that appear in the novel, films, and other related media include:

The Little family
Stuart Little (voiced by Michael J. Fox in the films and David Kaufman in the animated series) is the titular main character. He is a young  anthropomorphic mouse. He is a member of the Little family living in New York City in 1945. Although Stuart's age is never started he has the mind and personality of an adolescent child. Critics have compared Stuart's life as a mouse entering a human world to that of an adolescent toward adulthood; which means that he is probably in his late teens or early 20s. Others see Stuart as giving children an empowering model of a small hero in a big world. The novel presents Stuart as being born to human parents which some found problematic. The first film has Stuart adopted from an orphanage after the accidental death of his birth parents.
George Little (portrayed by Jonathan Lipnicki in the first two films, and voiced by Myles Jeffrey in the animated series and by Corey Padnos in Stuart Little 3: Call of the Wild) is the eldest son of Mr. and Mrs. Little. George enjoys making friends and hanging out with his brother Stuart. His interests include toy models, racing model boats, and video games. In the first film, George was excited at first about having a little brother until he found that his parents had adopted a mouse. He ignored Stuart until they played together with some of George's models, after which George became appreciative and defensive of Stuart. He fights a bully named Anton for insulting Stuart, and instigates a search party when the police fail to bring Stuart home. In Stuart Little 3: Call of the Wild, George is seen playing a handheld video game and develops a crush on Brooke, a Lake Scout at Lake Garland. George joins the Scouts to be close to Brooke.

Mr. Frederick C. Little (portrayed and voiced by Hugh Laurie) is the hardworking and friendly father of Stuart and George, and husband of Mrs. Little. He works at the New York Museum of Natural History and plays piano. Mr. Little is supportive of his family, encouraging Stuart to see the bright side of bad situations and telling him the importance of perseverance. He tries to get his wife to let Stuart do physical activities despite her fears for his safety. In Stuart Little 3: Call of the Wild, when Mrs. Little refuses to let Stuart enroll in the Scouts due to his small stature, Mr. Little chips in saying it might do him some good, he was a Scout himself, and that he will watch out for him. Mr. Little volunteers himself to be in the Scouts as an assistant to Troopmaster Bickle. He also helps his wife remodel their cabin. In the 1945 novel, his middle initial was revealed to be "C". It is unknown what the C. stands for, and his middle initial was never used in any of the Stuart Little films or in the animated series.
Mrs. Eleanor Little (portrayed by Geena Davis in the films and voiced by Jennifer Hale in the animated series) is the mother to Stuart and his siblings, and wife of Mr. Little. She is a loving mother and can sometimes be overprotective of Stuart. Mrs. Little gave birth to Martha sometime after the events of the first film, and the DVD commentary for Stuart Little 2 reveals that she is a music teacher at Stuart and George's school. She demonstrates DIY skills in Stuart Little 3: Call of the Wild when she makes improvements to the family's lakeside cabin. Her first name was revealed in the 1999 film, as it was never mentioned in the 1945 novel. In the 1945 novel, she was referred to as Mrs. Frederick C. Little.
Snowbell (voiced by Nathan Lane in the first two films, Quinton Flynn and Kevin Schon in the animated series and Stuart Little 3: Call of the Wild) is the Little family's Persian cat and a former member of Smokey's alley cat gang. Snowbell is lovable, selfish, cowardly, and shallow. He has been in the family longer than Stuart. George, Mr., and Mrs. Little are all oblivious to the fact that he can talk while Stuart is aware that he can talk.  In the first film, Snowbell is jealous of Stuart and plots to get rid of him. He considers eating him but cannot as Stuart is a member of the family. Mrs. Little tells Snowbell that if he is ever caught eating Stuart, he is going outside permanently and can never again come back into the house. He tries to keep Stuart's existence secret from the alley cats because they will try to eat him and because their "mouse with a pet cat" relationship is an embarrassment. When the alley cats discover and hunt Stuart, Snowbell has a change of heart and defends him. Stuart returns the favor and they become friendly. In Stuart Little 2, Snowbell reluctantly helps Stuart look for Margalo, whom he has taken a dislike to, when she mysteriously disappears. Later, having found Margalo, he is upset and therefore very emotional at her departure. Snowbell has further adventures camping in Stuart Little 3: Call of the Wild, until he is eventually kidnapped by a mysterious beast.
Martha Little (portrayed by Anna and Ashley Hoelck in the second film and voiced by Jennifer Hale in the animated series) is the infant daughter of the family. Her character was created specifically for the film series. She is very messy and curious about the world. In Stuart Little 2, Martha says her first words. In the animated series, Martha speaks more, but still sometimes gibbers. In Stuart Little 3: Call of the Wild, her only speaking is babbles and a single line.

1945 novel
Dr. Paul Carey is a New York dentist. He is a kind dentist who loves his patients, and a friend of Stuart's. His hobby is boat racing, and is the owner of the schooner Wasp, that Stuart thought "seemed to him finer and prouder than any other". He gave Stuart a tiny car when Stuart told him that he was travelling on foot to find Margalo.
Harriet Ames is a girl of about Stuart's height and age. She is said to be one of the best-dressed girls in New York City, with clothes that are especially tailored just for her. Harriet is also said to come from a rich family. Stuart invites Harriet to go on a date with him in a miniature canoe, but discovers that it has been played with by the local children when they arrive.

LeRoy is a fat, lazy 12-year-old boy who is the owner of the Lillian B. Womwrath, a model sailboat which always managed to beat the other competitors in the Central Park boat race. He convinced Stuart to man his boat for him in exchange for a peanut butter and jelly sandwich and his own radio, but Stuart turned down the offer. Stuart managed to beat his boat in the race by losing it in a thunderstorm.
Margalo (voiced by Melanie Griffith in the second film and Kathy Najimy in the animated series) is a young anthropomorphic canary, one of Stuart's closest friends, and his love interest. She is kind and free-spirited and always there for the people she loves. Her mother died when she was just a baby and she was pulled from the gutter by Falcon. In the 1945 novel, Mrs. Little adopted Margalo. Stuart becomes more infatuated with her the longer she stays. She saves Stuart's life when he stumbles onto a garbage barge, and is warned of Snowbell's plot to eat her and flies away from the Littles'. In Stuart Little 2, Margalo was taken in by the Falcon, who raised her to steal Mrs. Little's two karat ring. Margalo befriends Stuart, leaves Falcon, and gives Mrs. Little's ring back. In the animated series, Margalo is a recurring character who sometimes visits the Littles.
Miss Gunderson was a character in the original Stuart Little novel who was mentioned, but never seen. She was the teacher at the local schoolhouse who was unable to teach her students due to being ill. A similar teacher character makes a brief appearance in Stuart Little 2, portrayed by actress Maria Bamford. However, this character is unnamed, and has Stuart and George in her class, unlike the book counterpart.
The Angora Cat was an unnamed female Turkish Angora cat who lived in a tool shed in a small park near the Littles' house after escaping from a cage in a pet shop. Snowbell formulated a plan with the Angora Cat that would allow Snowbell to eat Margalo.
Edward Clydesdale is one of Dr. Paul Carey's patients who suggested where Stuart should look for Margalo. Most of his dialogue is barely understandable due to his teeth still being worked on as he was talking to Stuart.
Dr. Beechwood (portrayed by Dabney Coleman) is a doctor who came to the Littles' house to take Stuart's temperature after Mrs. Little accidentally left him in the washing machine. Dr. Beechwood had a small role in the 1999 film just like he did in the novel.

1999 film
 Monty (voiced by Steve Zahn in the first two films, André Sogliuzzo in the animated series and Rino Romano in Stuart Little 3: Call of the Wild) is a gray tabby cat, Snowbell's best friend and a former member of Smokey's alley cat gang. He is an original character introduced for the film series. Monty is shown to be unintelligent and somewhat of a blabbermouth, earning him the nickname, "Monty the Mouth". Despite being an alley cat, he has vast knowledge of the various streets and alleyways of New York City. His personal goal throughout the series is to cure his hunger, which involves him attempting to eat Stuart or digging for scraps in the city. His catchphrase is "Pleeeeease?", which is commonly used when he's begging for food or something he personally desires.
 Uncle Crenshaw Little (portrayed and voiced by Jeffrey Jones) is the brother of Mr. and Stretch Little. Crenshaw first appeared in the first film as he attended the Little family reunion for Stuart's arrival into the family. He was also mentioned in Stuart Little 2 during a conversation between Mr. and Mrs. Little in which Mr. Little mentions that Uncle Crenshaw's kids never stop growing. He later returned as a supporting character and the uncle of Stuart, George and Martha in the animated series where it is revealed he has bought a farm, which Stuart and his family visit in the episode "A Little Bit Country", as well as a hotel that was thought to be haunted in the episode "A Little Vacation".
 Smokey (voiced by Chazz Palminteri) is a sadistic and intelligent Russian Blue cat with a Mafia-like personality who is the main antagonist and the leader of the alley cats. He came up with the plan to kill Stuart after Snowbell and Monty summoned him. Smokey was defeated by Stuart at the end of the film when he knocked him out of a tree, causing him to be chased away by a horde of dogs.
 Lucky (voiced by Jim Doughan) is a Siamese cat who is also one of Smokey's henchcats.
 Red (voiced by David Alan Grier) is a ginger American Shorthair tomcat (which is how he got his name) and one of Smokey's henchcats. He is believed to be the idiot of his gang considering he tends to forget Stuart's name, since he doesn't know Stuart very well.
 Mr. Reginald Stout (voiced by Bruno Kirby) is Camille's husband and Stuart's fake father. He and his wife live on a golf course. They were both forced by Smokey and his henchcats to pose as Stuart's supposedly long-lost parents as part of his plan. In Stuart Little 3: Big Photo Adventure, it is shown that Reginald is an expert golfer and that has many trophies.
 Mrs. Camille Stout (voiced by Jennifer Tilly) is Reginald's wife and Stuart's fake mother. Although she and her husband were forced to pose as Stuart's long-lost parents, she tends to care for Stuart as if he was her own son and eventually reveals to him, along with Reginald, about Smokey's plans and urge him to flee. Camille reappeared in Stuart Little: The Journey Home for the Game Boy Color along with her husband Reginald in a driving stage.
 Anton Gartman (portrayed by Miles Marsico) is a mean-spirited child who bullied George. Anton tried to cheat his way to victory in the boat race by knocking out the other contestants. He appears to be very passionate about boat racing despite his young age, and he is depicted as being rude, inconsiderate, and overly competitive.

Stuart Little 2
The Falcon (voiced by James Woods in the second film and Pat Fraley in the animated series) is a sadistic, greedy peregrine falcon who served as Margalo's master and the film's only antagonist. He is an evil, mysterious, and power-hungry falcon who has a threatening, abusive personality towards Margalo. He took Margalo in when she was young and raised her to be his personal slave, forcing her to steal various objects, including Mrs. Little's wedding ring. During the production of Stuart Little 2, when the only antagonist was decided to be a bird, the animators researched a number of different predatorial birds including Eagles and Hawks. The peregrine falcon was ultimately decided to its villainous postures. Early designs of the Falcon originally had him walking on both feet in an anthropomorphic fashion while wearing a necklace beaded with valuables he has initially stolen. The Falcon returned in the animated series in the episode "A Little Bit Country", determined to get revenge on Stuart.
Will Wilson (portrayed and voiced by Marc John Jefferies) is George's loyal best friend who was introduced in Stuart Little 2 and later reappeared in the episode, "He Said He Said" of the animated series.
The Coach (portrayed by Jim Doughan) is George and Stuart's soccer coach.
Wallace (portrayed by Angelo Massagli) is one of Stuart and George's soccer teammates. He is George's second bully who picked on him on the soccer field. He was kicked in the face with a soccer ball by George during the final moments of the game as a result of his tormenting.
Irwin (portrayed by Kevin Olson) is another of Stuart and George's fellow soccer players and teemates. During George's soccer game, he was injured in the stomach after being hit by a soccer ball. His injury prompted the coach to let Stuart join the game and fill in for him, as Stuart sat on the bench for most of the game.
Tony (portrayed by Bobby Walsh) is one of George and Stuart's classmates. He takes karate lessons.
Mark (portrayed by Michael C. Fuchs) is another of George and Stuart's classmates. He takes guitar lessons.
Rob (portrayed by Brad Garrett) was the plumber that came to the Littles' house to find Mrs. Little's ring after she thought it had fallen down the drain.
Rita Wilson (portrayed by Amelia Marshall) is Will's mother. She has a minor role in Stuart Little 2, in which she speaks to Mrs. Little when she approaches her doorstep to pick up Stuart and George, only to find out Stuart isn't there.
An unnamed Indian-American taxi driver (portrayed by Ronobir Lahiri) drives the Little family around the city in search of Stuart. A catchphrase that he tends to say is "Okey-dokey, no problem!"

Animated series
Rick Ruckus (voiced by Matt Kaminsky) is a pro skater whom George and Stuart are big fans of.
Butch is a dog who lives in the same neighborhood as the Littles. In the episode "The Meatloaf Bandit", George and Stuart attempted to train him as their watchdog against the Meatloaf Bandit. His owner, Mr. Brown, was never seen. He is the only character that doesn't talk.
Larry Gronk (voiced by Daniel Hansen) is a student who attends George, Stuart and Will's school. In the episode "Life, Liberty and the Pursuit of Taco Tuesday", he ran for the position of Class Officer, but his campaign was unintentionally sabotaged by Stuart, George, and Will. After a couple of failed attempts to push their efforts back, Larry eventually admits that he only ran to get out of gym class early and favors a vote for Stuart.
Ginger (voiced by Julie Nathanson) is a female cat whom Snowbell develops a crush on in the episode "A Little Too Fast". His attempts at meeting her are foiled by George, but near the end of the episode, they meet up and plan a date.
The Crows (both voiced by Jeff Bennett) are a trio of crows who served as Falcon's henchmen in the episode "A Little Bit Country".
Scar (voiced by Michael Chiklis) and Tiger (voiced by Mark Hamill) are two cats who are the main antagonists in the episode "No Job is Too Little". They are both old friends of Monty. Upon seeing Stuart and George delivering bags of food from a deli, they hatch a plan to ambush them and take the food for themselves. They both come close to stealing them, along with eating Stuart, but are thwarted by Snowbell.

Stuart Little 3: Call of the Wild
 Reeko (voiced by Wayne Brady) is a smooth-talking anthropomorphic skunk and the Beast's former servant who befriends Stuart. Reeko is described by the forest animals as being selfish, lazy, greedy, and rude. He is mostly seen throughout the film trying to find a way to give food to a ferocious puma called the "Beast". When he met Stuart, he was only interested in what kinds of food he could give him that he could offer to the Beast, but thinks differently when Stuart deems him as a friend and watches him sacrifice himself to save Snowbell from the Beast. At the end of the film, Reeko and Stuart give each other a hug as a sign of their friendship, and Stuart's family drives home.
 The Beast (voiced by Virginia Madsen) is a ferocious and ruthless female puma, Reeko's master, and the tyrannical ruler of the forest of Lake Garland and the main antagonist. She resides in a cave on the other side of the forest, and every night, terrorizes the animals of the forest into bringing her food as part of a tribute to herself. She forced Reeko in particular to also bring her food, most likely due to him being late in doing so and plotted to make a rug out of Snowbell's fur. She is defeated when she falls into a rope for Stuart and Snowbell's trap, and got taken away in a helicopter.
 Brooke (voiced by Tara Strong) is an experienced Lake Scout at Lake Garland who is George's love interest.
 Troopmaster Bickle (voiced by Peter MacNicol) is the slightly overweight, clumsy, comical, yet well-intentioned leader of the Lake Scouts. Bickle appears to be inexperienced when it comes to leading the Scouts as he sometimes uses incorrect words (for example, "skull assessment test" instead of "skill assessment test"), and occasionally gets himself hurt. Despite this, he is a kind man who always tries to do a good job leading them.
 Beaver (voiced by Charlie Adler) is one of the animals of the forest who dislikes Reeko. His opinion of him changes when Reeko risks his life to save Stuart.
 Cottontail (voiced by Kath Soucie) is a rabbit who is one of the animals of the forest who dislikes Reeko.
 Elwin is an overweight child who is one of the Lake Scouts at Lake Garland. He does not have a speaking role in the film. He is shown to be very physically fit despite his weight.

title: William John Hopkinson

text:
William John Hopkinson (November 25, 1887 – February 21, 1970) was a Canadian artist best known for his en plein air style landscapes.

Born in London, England, W.J. Hopkinson studied art there briefly but was mostly self-taught. Hopkinson came to Canada in 1912. He exhibited with the Royal Canadian Academy, the Ontario Society of Artists and the Nova Scotia Society of Artists. Although his talent was well respected and he went on painting trips with many leading painters, Hopkinson never achieved the same level of recognition as some of his contemporaries.

Hopkinson didn't become a full-time artist until late in life, in the late 1950s when he was in his late 60s.

Hopkinson worked mainly in oils, with landscapes of forests, winter scenes and docked boats, but many pencil sketches have also survived. He painted from the 1930s until 1970, most often in the Aurora to Haliburton area of Ontario, Canada. He also painted scenes from trips to the Canadian East Coast, Alberta and British Columbia, and to Massachusetts. He also made one trip back to his home country of England, but he only painted a handful of scenes in London.

Hopkinson was known to travel into the dense bush and forests in the Haliburton area and paint en plein air oil paintings on panels using palette knives, laying on thick layers of oil paint. This technique was suited to portraying the ruggedness of the landscape around him, showing fallen trees, forests and lakes under skies coloured in dramatic shades of blues, pinks and orange.

The artist taught at the St. Croix School of Art, New Brunswick, and at several centres in Ontario.

Hopkinson was honoured by the Ontario Society of Artists by having his painting "Town House" hung at the 70th annual spring exhibition being held at The Art Gallery of Toronto in 1942.

The actor Vincent Price was an admirer of Hopkinson's artworks, including his paintings in The Vincent Price Collection sold by Simpson's department store in Toronto and Chicago in 1965. Price even penned birthday wishes to Hopkinson on his 80th birthday in which Price called himself as a "longtime admirer of your beautiful paintings.

Hopkinson held his first one-man show of paintings at the Main Branch of The North York Public Library in the autumn of 1966 and subsequently at other library branches of North York that year.

The artist was most active in art circles in the Newmarket and Aurora area, northwest of Toronto. Hopkinson was a founder of the Newmarket Art Club, and member of the Willowdale Group of Artists and the Society of Co-operative Artists, Toronto.

After his death on February 21, 1970, a retrospective exhibit and sale was held. His friend and pupil, artist Isabelle Van Zant, did a portrait for the exhibition cover.

Mock, Judson, Voehringer Company Hosiery Mill, also known as MoJud Hosiery Company and Rolane Factory Outlet Store, is a former hosiery production plant located at 2610 Oakland Avenue in Greensboro, Guilford County, North Carolina. The company was founded in 1926, and operated until 1972. The plant was then shut down, except for a small portion used as an outlet store, until its final complete shutdown in 1999. The plant was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2011.

Founding and growth
Founded in 1926 by Bernard Mock, Nathaniel Judson and John K. Voehringer, the Mock, Judson, Voehringer Company of NC, Inc was formed for hosiery production. Following industrialists such as the Cone Family, the MJV Company built a production facility at 2610 Oakland Avenue, formerly 1004 Howard street, in 1927. Starting with 14 original employees, by 1929 they had increased to 600 workers and were producing four million pairs of silk hosiery annually. The complex had also grown from its original 10,000 square feet to roughly 140,000. The factory continued producing hose all throughout its history until production stopped in 1972, including during World War 2. However, during the war, they switched from producing nylon and silk hose to rayon, but this was quickly reversed after nylon shortages ended after the conclusion of wartime rationing.

Worker housing and benefits
Unlike other textile corporations, such as the Cone mills, who would not begin to pull away from providing worker housing until the Great Depression, MJV did not have mill villages. Directories from the time period have indicated that employees were taking advantage of a local booming housing economy and lived in the surrounding areas of Lindley and Highland Park. MJV also provided an on-site nurse, a cafeteria for their employees, and a recreational baseball team, the Mojuds Nighthawks.

Labor disputes
In 1937, two years after the passing of the National Labor Relations Act of 1935, the American Federation of Hosiery Workers filed charges against MJV claiming that the mill had engaged in unfair labor practices including the distribution of anti-union literature, firing employees on the basis of union membership, and removal of organizers attempting to distribute union literature outside of the facility.

National Register of Historic Places
The facility is listed in the National Register of Historic Places listings in Guilford County, North Carolina. In early 2018, it was announced that the structure would be converted to 170 apartments, including several townhouses while retaining many historical elements of the original building. As of May 2021, no significant work has begun on the project. On April 21, 2022 Capitol Broadcasting Company out of Raleigh North Carolina purchased the site for $7.6 million for apartment development.

Company

History
Busbud was founded after CEO and co-founder, LP Maurice, spent 2011 backpacking throughout South America. He faced many difficulties finding and booking reliable inter-city buses throughout the continent and began drafting a business plan on a 10-hour bus ride in Argentina. He then came back to Montreal and founded Busbud with longtime friends, Michael Gradek (CTO and Microsoft Bing veteran) and Frederic Thouin (CAO). The company acts as a reseller, but also provides support on the bus tickets that are sold.

Funding rounds and advisory board
Backed by venture and angel investors, Busbud has an advisory board made up of Expedia Board Member and Managing Partner of InterMedia Partners, Peter Kern; TripAdvisor VP of SEO, Luc Levesque; CEO of the travel startup Luxury Retreats, Joe Poulin, and Orleans Express founder Sylvain Langis.

In May 2013, Busbud completed a seed round financing of $1.2 million, which was co-led by Canadian funds Inovia Capital and Real Ventures.

In July, 2014, Busbud acquired another round of funding of $9 million, co-led by OMERS Ventures and Revolution Ventures. Busbud's plans include growing its in-house team, expanding its route territory, and developing an improved version of their iOS and Android mobile app.

In January 2018, Busbud announced a US$11 Million Series B round of funding, led by iNovia Capital and included new investors Teralys, Claridge and Plaza Ventures, as well as Real Ventures.

It allows travelers to combine different routes and operators with one another, unlocking a very large inventory of additional bus route options.

In April 2018, travel reviews were implemented  across Busbud's 3.8 million routes. For any departure offered on Busbud, it is possible to browse reviews and ratings from other Busbud customers who have traveled on that same route.

Inventory

In 2014, Busbud partnered with Greyhound, the largest North American provider of intercity bus transportation.

A year later, in 2015, Busbud partnered with Flixbus, Europe's leading bus company.  This was followed by an expansion in South America with partnerships with bus companies in Argentina, Chile, Paraguay, Peru, Colombia, Uruguay and Bolivia.

In 2017, Busbud expanded to a new region by adding inventory in Southeast Asia with the addition of bus routes in Thailand, Cambodia, Laos and Vietnam.

In 2018, Busbud added more inventory in Southern Africa, with partnerships with local bus carriers in South Africa, Namibia, Botswana, Zimbabwe, Zambia, Malawi, and Mozambique. The same year, Busbud added to its already extensive coverage in Europe by expanding to Portugal and partnering with the leading bus company in Portugal.

In August 2018, Busbud integrated one of the largest bus companies in the world, Autobuses de Oriente (ADO), operating in Mexico. Tourists and travellers are able, for the first time, to buy their ADO tickets in their local currency and language, using their preferred method of payment. Busbud was the first international bus booking platform to offer this on the market.

In November 2018, Busbud acquired Clickbus Turkey, the company which owns and operates Neredennereye.com . This acquisition expanded Busbud's route coverage in Turkey.

title: Abraham Bernstein (politician)

text:
Abraham Bernstein (May 1, 1918 – March 4, 1990) was an American lawyer and politician from New York.

Life and career
He was born on May 1, 1918, in  the Bronx, New York City. He attended DeWitt Clinton High School. He graduated from City College of New York and Brooklyn Law School. He was admitted to the bar in 1941, and practiced law in New York City. During World War II he served in the U.S. Army, and was awarded the Army Commendation Ribbon.

He was a member of the New York State Senate from 1961 until his death in 1990, sitting in the 173rd, 174th, 175th, 176th, 177th, 178th, 179th, 180th, 181st, 182nd, 183rd, 184th, 185th, 186th, 187th, 188th New York State Legislatures. In 1977, he had a leg amputated. From 1980 to 1982, he was president of the National Association of Jewish Legislators.

Bernstein introduced a bill to ban professional wrestling in February 1985, which was never voted out of committee. Later that year, New York Senate Democrats formed a task force to investigate professional wrestling with Bernstein as the chair. The task force held their hearings on the 44 floor of the World Trade Center in New York City. Over 200 people were asked to testify, but only a handful agreed. Captain Lou Albano told The New York Times that he did not agree to testify because, "some of these politicians have brains the size of dehydrated peas." Morgus the Maniac (incorrectly identified as Manfred the Maniac) also told The New York Times he turned the invitation down and added that if he had testified he may have felt compelled to body slam members of the task force. Sheik Ali was one of the few wrestlers who testified and he denied that wrestling had predetermined outcomes. Former wrestler Eddy Mansfield told the task force that wrestling was fixed.

He died on March 4, 1990, in a hospital in the Bronx, of a heart attack; and was buried at the New Mount Lebanon Cemetery in Iselin, New Jersey.

title: Molly Woods

text:
Molly Woods is a fictional character from the science fiction drama series Extant, played by Halle Berry. She made her first screen appearance in the show's pilot episode "Re-Entry", which first aired on July 9, 2014 on the CBS network in the United States.

Molly is an astronaut. She is married to John Woods and is the mother of Ethan Woods, a "humanich" android. While aboard a spaceflight to ISEA (the fictional space agency that replaced NASA) space station, she inexplicably becomes pregnant during the 13-month solo voyage. She returns to Earth amid chaotic happenings with her family life while in the space program and unexplained events of the early pregnancy. She goes through medical and psychological tests after returning to ISEA.

Present time
The believed dead Harmon Kryger makes an attempt to contact Molly after she has an eventful day with her husband John and son Ethan. From hurried and missed breakfast with John, to the trip to the museum with Ethan which features Ethan with more questions than answers from Molly. Also, the revelation from Sam Barton that her brain scans are just like Krygers, (but he died) and she is 14 weeks pregnant. The night is just as mysterious as the Woods prepare for the next day's events.

Later we see Ethan prepared for interaction with children at school, as Molly defends his place in a school setting to the worried parents. Molly reveals to John, she just signed up for another rotation on the Seraphim, while John was ready to add Ethan to the family. Molly objects saying, "you just can't plug and play a family." Molly's boss interrupts her morning jog to let her in on the Covert program that allowed her to become pregnant by timed release Nano-technology. He mentions her brain scans that matched Kryger's and that's what led to his suicide.

Unbeknownst to Molly Director Sparks is planning to covertly bring her in for further study with a medical team. Her doctor Dr. Barton, arrives that night to draw a blood sample to determine the DNA of Molly's unborn fetus. Later, Molly reveals to John she is pregnant and that she is afraid he wouldn't believe her.

Flashbacks to the past
In the opening, we see Molly in a darkened room reminiscing about earlier times with Marcus. She goes to the bookcase and removes an old photo album, and we see a picture of her with Marcus in his ISEA mission uniform with Molly and it's a moving scene. They begin to look at each other and tighten their embrace. She is interrupted when John appears after putting Ethan in rest mode for the night. Next we see her aboard the Seraphim initiating bio-sample tests on plants and worms, when Ben, her onboard computer (a disembodied voice) tells her of an incoming  v-com, or video communication from John and Ethan. The v-com is interrupted by what Ben says is a solar flare. Ben then goes offline while Molly frantically tries to reboot.

That's when we first see Marcus appear to Molly's shock and surprise. She and Marcus interact briefly after she tries to burn her hand to attempt to see if the person she sees is real. Next we see Molly explaining away 13 lost hours of video from the space station. Gordon Kern, (the deputy director of ISEA) mentions the backup cameras on board the Seraphim, and questions Molly about the lost footage which she explains away (not convincingly to Director Sparks) as a glitch.

We see Molly wake up in the lab and in a frantic scene we see her playback the security video footage to see if Marcus is there, and he's not, but she realizes she has to hide the footage from ISEA since Marcus died years earlier.

The next night John has the birthday party for Molly and they invite friends and close ISEA associates. Dr. Barton arrives to take the blood sample from Molly, after she leaves Molly has sharp pains in her stomach and then flashes back to the event on the Seraphim with Marcus saying "it's ok." Then Molly returns to the party and the doorbell rings and it's Tim Dawkins, Marcus' brother. Molly hasn't seen Tim for a while. He tells her he's on furlough and decided to drop by. We learn she actually hasn't seen Tim in eight years since she lost the baby and Marcus. He curiously asks Molly if she has seen Marcus and tries to reassure Molly that it will be all right. Next we see Molly call Tim over when John wants a group party picture. She mingles in the party for a while. Then after revealing her secret to John they return and Molly asks John if he has seen Tim.

Molly suddenly realizes she is the only one who has seen Tim and something is happening to her.

title: Put the Damage On

text:
"Put the Damage On" is the fifth episode of the second season of the American science fiction series Defiance, and the series' seventeenth episode overall. It was aired on July 17, 2014. The episode was written by Nevin Densham and directed by Allan Kroeker.

Plot
Amanda (Julie Benz) is at her home taking a bath when she hears a noise and goes to check on it. A masked man is in her room and attacks her but Amanda manages to fight him off and she throws him out of the window. She calls Nolan (Grant Bowler) and tells him about the attack and Nolan promises her that he will find who was the man.

The next day, Amanda feels like someone is following her at the marketplace and when she turns around she sees Nolan. The two of them have a conversation where Nolan is really cruel at her telling her that he never cared about her or her sister and that both of them are incapable of love. He attacks her but Amanda escapes only to run into the real Nolan who patrols the city with Irisa (Stephanie Leonidas) and Tommy (Dewshane Williams) and realizes that something is wrong.

Amanda rushes to Niles (James Murray) thinking that her hallucinations must be related to the adreno he is providing her but Niles reassures her that adreno is clean and sends her to stay at the McCawley house where she can be safe. Irisa and Tommy stay with her to protect her while Nolan tells her that he investigated her house after the attack and he did not find any evidence indicating that someone else was in the house except from her. He also found the adreno pipe but Amanda tells him that adreno does not cause hallucinations.

Later at night, Amanda hears some noises and Irisa and Tommy get out to check leaving Amanda alone with a gun. When Tommy gets back, Amanda hits him in the head and then shoots Irisa thinking that they are attackers. When she realizes that they are Tommy and Irisa, she runs away.

Nolan tries to talk to Niles about the adreno and him providing Amanda with it just to have her even if it is causing her all those troubles. While they are talking, Niles sees Connor Lang (Gale Harold), Amanda's ex fiancé, and follows him. Niles has a conversation with him telling him that he can not be there since he died a year ago, but Connor says that this is not true and attacks him reminding him things from their past when they were at school and later in New York.

In the meantime, Amanda is at the Need/Want where she collapses and the people there call Nolan. Nolan finds out that there is an ego implant in the back of the neck that is killing her and is the cause of all her hallucinations. He immediately takes her to Doc Yewll's (Trenna Keating) office to remove the implant before it kills Amanda.

Meanwhile, Doc Yewll also has hallucinations of an old friend/lover named Lev (Hannah Cheesman). Lev appears to Yewll and tells her that she came back to ask for forgiveness because she is dying. During their conversations it is revealed that the two of them were working together during the Pale Wars and did some terrible things that led Lev to kill herself. Lev tries to convince Yewll to do the same but the last moment Yewll changes her mind and goes back to her office where she finds Nolan trying to remove the implant from Amanda. She stops him, and she removes it herself. saving Amanda's life.

In the rest of the episode, Datak (Tony Curran) goes to the Tarr house and performs a ritual in front of the whole family that will allow him to visit them. Christie (Nicole Muñoz) does not like the idea of Datak being around her child after what he did to Alak (Jesse Rath) and the whole family. She tells him so and then leaves the room. Later, she goes to the radio station to find Alak but he is not there and instead she sits with Deirdre (Kristina Pesic) and tells her that Alak's family will never accept her as their own despite all her efforts to learn their language and follow their customs. Deirdre tells her that she has to "live in their skin".

Datak asks Rafe (Graham Greene), who he finds living in the Tarr house since he was evicted from his own home, to talk to his family, especially Christie, and convince them to accept him back. Rafe does not seem willing to do it and Datak also tells him about his plan to take Defiance, and the mines, back from the E-Rep. He says that he works with the Votanis Collective and they will provide him with weapons for his cause.

At the end of the episode, it is revealed that the people who are behind the ego implant in Amanda's neck are Niles and Doc Yewll, who also have an implant of their own and that is why they were hallucinating as well. They did it to collect Amanda's memories and they managed to collect the last three weeks but it is unknown why they need them. Yewll removes the implant from Niles but she keeps hers, despite telling Niles that she had already removed and destroyed it.

Reviews
"Put the Damage In" received positive reviews.

Michael Ahr of Den of Geek rated the episode with 5/5 stating that the episode provided plenty of food for thought. "If you had told me last season that I would be looking forward this much to the next episode of Defiance each week, I wouldn’t have believed you. As the show nears the halfway point of its summer run, it’s exciting to see where things are headed."

Joe Winder from Geeked Out Nation rated the episode with 8/10 saying that overall was a good episode with a great story that built some of the characters of the show but it completely forgot other main characters, like Irisa's story. "Some of what we learned could be used for future stories. My main issue is the big story was forgotten by everyone and leave me wondering if it’s big deal why did Irisa just forget about it for a few days. I know if it was me I would be freaking out wondering what’s going on."

Billy Grifter of Den of Geek gave a good review to the episode stating that even none of the episodes so far were outstanding, they put a good base for the show's future. "While those behind Defiance haven’t hit a narrative home run yet this season, there have been many new subtle layers laid down inviting the possibility of delivering one. This was a strong story, and so far none of the episodes has been a complete fiasco."

Andrew Santos of With an Accent gave a good review to the episode saying that it was highly enjoyable. "The main story arc was weird and helped develop a few of the characters. [...] I liked the episode’s twist involving the ego. It would have been too cliché if we found out Amanda and Pottinger were just really high."

Mark Trammell from TV Equals also gave a good review to the episode saying that it was a decent one "even if it raised more questions than it answered".

Despite the positive reviews, Katelyn Barnes of Geeks Unleashed rated the episode with 6/10 saying that the whole ego storyline was a disappointment.

title: List of Welsh saints

text:
This list of Welsh saints includes Christian saints with Welsh connections, either because they were of Welsh origin and ethnicity or because they travelled to Wales from their own homeland and became noted in their hagiography for their work there.

The pagan Celts of Britain had already been extensively Christianized during the Roman period: although only four victims of Diocletian's persecution are now known (Saints Alban, "Amphibalus", and Julius and Aaron), Britons met the pagan Saxon invaders largely as Christians prior to being driven back to Wales, Cornwall, and Brittany. The family of Vortigern, which continued to hold Powys in the early medieval period, produced numerous saints. Although they largely refrained from missionizing among the Germans, Welsh refugees and missionaries were responsible for the Christianization of Ireland and Brittany.

The title of "saint" was used quite broadly in the Celtic churches. Extreme cases are Irish accounts of Gerald of Mayo's presiding over 3300 "saints" and Welsh claims that Bardsey held the remains of . More often, the title was given to the founder of any ecclesiastical settlement, which would thenceforth be known as their llan. Such communities were organized on tribal models: founding saints were almost invariably lesser members of local dynasties and their successors chosen from among their kin. The golden age of such establishments was the 6th century, when the "Three Saintly Families of Wales"—those of the invading Irish Brychan and Northerners Cunedda and Caw—displaced many of the local Silurian rulers in favor of their families and clans. By some estimates, these traditions produced over 800 pre-congregational saints venerated locally in Wales, but invasions by Saxons, Irishmen, Vikings, Normans, and others destroyed many ecclesiastical records. Similarly, the distance from Rome, suspicion of Celtic Christianity, and the relative disconnect of the local sees from Rome has left only two Welsh saints in the General Roman Calendar: Saints David (Dewi) and Winifred (Gwenffrewi).

text:
Archidesmus is an extinct millipede genus from the Lower Devonian Old Red Sandstone of the United Kingdom. It is the only member of the taxonomic family Archidesmidae. Individuals were up to  long, and had 60 to 80 body segments decorated with tubercles (bumps) on the upper surface, and most segments  possessed wing-like keels (paranota) extending to the side.  The type species Archidesmus macnicoli was described by British paleontologist Benjamin Peach in 1882. A second species, A. loganensis was also described by Peach but its status as a valid species- or even a myriapod- is debated.
