Animated films

The Jungle Book

The Jungle Book is a 1967 animated musical comedy film produced by Walt Disney Productions. Inspired by Rudyard Kipling's classic 1894 book of the same name, it is the 19th Disney animated feature film. Directed by Wolfgang Reitherman, it was the last film to be produced by Walt Disney, who died during its production.

In this animated musical film adaptation of Rudyard Kipling's stories, Mowgli, an abandoned child raised by wolves, has his peaceful existence threatened by the return of the man-eating tiger Shere Khan. Facing certain death, Mowgli must overcome his reluctance to leave his wolf family and return to the "man village." But he is not alone on his quest: Aided by Bagheera the wise panther, and later by the carefree bear Baloo, he braves the jungle's many perils.

The Jungle Book 2

The Jungle Book 2 is a 2003 animated adventure musical comedy film produced by DisneyToon Studios. The theatrical version of the film was released in France on February 5, 2003, and released in the United States on February 14, 2003. Also inspired by Rudyard Kipling's classic children's books, the film is a sequel to the 1967 animated musical film The Jungle Book, and stars Haley Joel Osment as the voice of Mowgli and John Goodman as the voice of Baloo.

Wild child Mowgli has grown fidgety with his life in the "man village", so he sneaks back to the jungle to be with his animal friends, like the beloved bear Baloo. Mowgli's disappearance, however, worries the villagers who raise him, so his friends, Shanti and Ranjan, journeys into the jungle to find him. But all is not well there. Mowgli's old foe, the fierce tiger Shere Khan, is out to get revenge on him, being more determined to kill him than ever.

Live-action films

Rudyard Kipling's The Jungle Book

Rudyard Kipling's The Jungle Book is a 1994 live-action film co-written and directed by Stephen Sommers, based on the Mowgli stories in The Jungle Book and The Second Jungle Book written by Rudyard Kipling. The film stars Jason Scott Lee as Mowgli, Cary Elwes as his adversary Captain Boone, and Lena Headey as Mowgli's eventual love interest Kitty. Also appearing in the film were Sam Neill, John Cleese, Jason Flemyng and Ron Donachie.

When his father is killed by a jungle tiger, Mowgli is orphaned and grows up in the wild, raised by beloved animals. Years later, the bracelet given to him by his childhood friend, Kitty, is stolen. In pursuing it, he discovers Monkey City with all its treasures. He is reunited with Kitty, but struggles to adapt to civilization. When Kitty's unscrupulous suitor, Capt. Boone, attempts to raid the jungle of its treasures, Mowgli's life is imperiled.

The Jungle Book: Mowgli's Story

The Jungle Book: Mowgli's Story is a 1998 live-action direct-to-video film based on Rudyard Kipling's book of the same name. The film chronicles the life of the boy named Mowgli (portrayed by Brandon Baker) from the time he lived with humans as an infant to the time when he rediscovered humans again as a teenager.

Animal companions guide Rudyard Kipling's jungle boy in the wilds of India.

The Jungle Book

The Jungle Book is 2016 fantasy adventure film directed by Jon Favreau, written by Justin Marks, and produced by Walt Disney Pictures.

The film was released on April 15, 2016 to critical acclaim.

After a fierce tiger threatens his life, Mowgli, an orphan boy raised by wolves, leaves his jungle home and, guided by a stern panther and a free-spirited bear, sets out on a journey of self-discovery.

The Jungle Book sequel
Following the film's early financial and critical successes, the studio has begun work on a sequel film. Favreau is reported to return as director, while screenwriter Justin Marks is also in negotiations to return and planned to shoot it back to back with The Lion King remake. But as of 2023 there hasn't been any news on the sequel since then.

Television

TaleSpin

TaleSpin is a half-hour animated adventure series based in the fictional city of Cape Suzette, that first aired in 1990 as a preview on The Disney Channel and later that year as part of The Disney Afternoon, with characters adapted from the 1967 animated film The Jungle Book.

Baloo, King Louie and Shere Khan operate businesses in Cape Suzette.

Jungle Cubs

Jungle Cubs is an whimsical animated series produced by Disney for ABC in 1996. It was based on their 1967 animated film The Jungle Book, but set in the youth of the animal characters.

Video games

TaleSpin

TaleSpin is a 1991 video game published by Capcom for the Nintendo Entertainment System. It is based on the children's animated series with the same name. TaleSpin was also released by Capcom on the Game Boy. Sega released its own versions of TaleSpin on the Sega Mega Drive/Genesis and Sega Game Gear. NEC also made one for their TurboGrafx-16 system. This game involves the adventures of Baloo and Kit Cloudkicker, two bears delivering cargo for Rebecca Cunningham, another bear. However, Shere Khan, the evil tiger tycoon, wants to put Rebecca out of business, so he hires air pirates, led by Don Karnage, to do his dirty work.

The Jungle Book

The Jungle Book is a series of video games based on the 1967 film, primarily released in 1994. It was first released by Virgin Interactive in 1993 for the Master System. Conversions for the Game Boy, NES (for which it was one of the last titles released by a third-party developer), Sega Mega Drive/Genesis, Sega Game Gear, Super NES, and PC followed in 1994, and a remake for the Game Boy Advance was released in 2003. While gameplay is the same on all versions, technological differences between the systems forced changes – in some case drastic – in level design, resulting in six fairly different versions of the 'same' game. This article is largely based upon the Sega Mega Drive/Genesis version

The Jungle Book Groove Party

The Jungle Book Groove Party is a music rhythm video game developed by Ubisoft and published by Disney Interactive for  PlayStation and PlayStation 2. Featuring similar gameplay to the Dance Dance Revolution series, the game features characters and songs from the 1967 animated film The Jungle Book. The game was packaged with a dance pad.

Kinect: Disneyland Adventures

Kinect: Disneyland Adventures is a 2011 motion-controlled open world video game for Kinect for Xbox 360 developed by Frontier Developments and published by Microsoft Studios. The game takes place in Disneyland Park. Baloo and Mowgli from the 1967 animated film The Jungle Book appear as meet-and-greet characters in Adventureland within the game.

Disney Infinity

Disney Infinity was an action-adventure toys-to-life video game series that ran from 2013 to 2016 developed by Avalanche Software and published by Disney Interactive Studios. The 1967 animated film The Jungle Book was referenced throughout the series starting from the second game, Disney Infinity 2.0 (2014), with in-game toys and power discs based on the film's characters and settings. In 2016, a Baloo figure was released for the console and later on mobile versions of Disney Infinity 3.0 (2015), which required a downloadable content update to use. Although the figure was released to promote the 2016 live-action film, it is based on the 1967 version of the character.

Disney Magic Kingdoms

The world builder game Disney Magic Kingdoms includes Mowgli, Bagheera, Baloo, Shere Khan and King Louie as playable characters, along with some attractions based on the film, including Baloo's Oasis, Jungle River Drift, and Kaa's Jungle Gym (featuring Kaa as a non-player character). In the game the characters are involved in new storylines that serve as a continuation of The Jungle Book (ignoring other material from the franchise).

Disney Mirrorverse

An alternate version of Baloo, based on his TaleSpin persona, appears as a playable character in the video game Disney Mirrorverse.

Music

The Jungle Book soundtrack

The Jungle Book soundtrack has been released in three different versions since the film's release in 1967. The film score was composed by George Bruns, with songs written by Terry Gilkyson and the Sherman Brothers.

title: Jessie Bonstelle

text:
Jessie Bonstelle (born Laura Justine Bonesteel; November 18, 1871 – October 14, 1932) was an American theater director, actress, and drama company manager. Encouraged by her mother, she sang and performed in the theater from a young age; she went on to become a famous leading lady and made several performances on Broadway. Later she became a director, managing many stock companies, directing Broadway productions and training many young performers who went on to be famous actors. In 1925, she founded her own theater in Detroit. Reorganized in 1928 as the Detroit Civic Theatre, it was one of America's first civic theaters, and her methods influenced community theater projects elsewhere. She has been described as "one of the pioneering women stage directors in the early twentieth century".

Early life
Bonstelle was born to Helen and Joseph Bonesteel on her father's farm near the town of Greece, New York, a suburb of Rochester, New York, the youngest of eight siblings. She was born on November 18, 1871. Originally surnamed Bonesteel, later in life she changed it to Bonstelle after, according to legend, seeing it misspelled like that on a theater marquee.

Bonstelle's mother, who herself had wanted to be an actress, home-schooled her in reading, writing, singing, dancing, and even in reciting Shakespeare. Jessie's first public performance was singing temperance songs in church at the age of two years. Helen gave her daughter a passion for acting by often taking her to theaters in nearby Rochester.

Around the age of ten Jessie auditioned for critic Thomas Keane, and with his encouragement she left on tour with a production of Bertha, the Beautiful Sewing Machine Girl, a melodrama. After returning home from California she briefly studied at Nazareth Academy, a convent school in Rochester. In 1886 she returned to the stage, working for local opera house owner Edward D. Stair and touring in his productions.

Career

After the death of her parents in 1890, Bonstelle went to New York City, and in 1891 she joined the company of Fanny Janauschek, with whom she toured for a season. In 1892 she worked as an understudy and chorus member in Augustin Daly's company, but the season left her exhausted. However, in 1893, she married the actor Alexander Hamilton Stuart: 20 years her senior, and Janauschek's leading man.

Happily married, together they worked in Philadelphia's Forepaugh Stock Company for two years, before moving to Rochester, where Bonstelle played various roles and became an established leading lady. She was the leading lady of Philadelphia's Standard Stock Company during the 1898–99 season. Stuart died in 1911; Bonstelle would never remarry.

Bonstelle performed in three productions on Broadway, including Elizabeth Jordan's The Lady from Oklahoma, which Bonstelle herself produced in 1913. Her acting received mixed or poor reception from New York Times critics, and according to some she "lacked creative depth".

In 1899, while playing with the Biancke Sisters, Bonstelle produced Heimat by Hermann Sudermann. This was its first performance in the United States, and only the second in English. Later she received a letter from Sudermann in which he thanked her for performing his work. Her career as a manager and director began around 1900 when Jacob J. Shubert offered her the management of a stock company in Rochester. This company, the Lyceum stock company, based at Rochester's Lyceum Theater, included some prominent actors and future stars, such as Orrin Johnson, Margaret Wycherly and Charles Hutchison.

She spent the next five years managing, directing and acting there, but also appeared from time to time in Philadelphia and toured at least once in Canada. Moreover, she occasionally directed for the Shuberts in New York, and was associated with Frederick Freeman Proctor's 125th Street Theater in Harlem. Bonstelle said that her dedication was partly inspired by the death of Janauschek in 1904, realizing that what she did for the theater was lasting.

From 1906 she managed stock companies at the Star Theater in Buffalo, and from 1910 also at Detroit's Garrick Theater, moving weekly between the two cities. She usually put on plays which had recently been successful on Broadway, but not those which she saw as immoral. The most popular production she directed was an adaptation of Louisa May Alcott's Little Women by Marian de Forest. Bonstelle researched the play herself, traveling to Boston to view personal papers provided by Alcott's family and talking to her friends. The production toured nationally in 1911, with four companies performing in different places at the same time, and had a "successful and lengthy run" on Broadway in 1912. It was also performed in London after World War I. From 1912 to 1917 she was a director at the Northampton Municipal Theater in Massachusetts.

Bonstelle sold her stake in the Garrick Theater in 1924. She and her company founded the Bonstelle Playhouse in Detroit, which opened on January 1, 1925. Backed by a syndicate led by a patron of hers, she bought a former synagogue on Woodward Avenue, Temple Beth El, for $500,000 and commissioned C. Howard Crane to renovate it. At first she carried on producing mostly Broadway-style plays. However, the company did perform classics, including modern-dress productions of Romeo and Juliet in 1926 and Hamlet in 1927, among the first to put on such performances.

In February 1928 Bonstelle began a campaign to gain community support for the theater. A fund of over $200,000 was raised by donations from the public and Bonstelle made an agreement with local authorities to make the playhouse the city's unofficial premier theater. Later that year the group became known as the Detroit Civic Theater. In her plan for the theater she emphasized the importance of providing the public with the best drama, including both classics and modern works, and improving young people's knowledge of dramatic literature. Funded by public subscription, it had ticket prices as low as $1.50. Performances included works by Shakespeare, Henrik Ibsen and Richard Brinsley Sheridan. The theater also played a religious role. Bonstelle used it in an effort to improve understanding and co-operation between the church and the theater, holding multi-denominational religious services there during Lent, and she stated that her plays, while avoiding being preachy, were intended to have a positive moral influence on the audience. Local clergy publicly praised her work with the theater.

In June 1932 Bonstelle went to Hollywood; possible reasons include a desire to direct films, to found an acting school, or to explore the possibility of a new stock company. She returned to Detroit after falling ill and learning she had cancer. There she began a campaign to keep open the Civic Theatre, which was adversely affected by the Great Depression, but became seriously ill. Aided by her secretary, she continued to campaign for and run the theater until her death on October 14, 1932, when she suffered a heart attack at the home of relatives in Detroit.

On October 16, her body lay in state at the theater and the New York Times reported that twenty-five thousand people went to see her bier. A memorial service was held there which thousands attended and at which mayor Frank Murphy spoke. She was buried in Rochester next to her husband.

Character
Bonstelle was a perfectionist who was passionate about her work. She ran grueling rehearsals and kept control over the direction, even on productions she was not directing. However, she was willing to help actors if they were struggling, and was respected for her passion and drive.

Reception and legacy

Bonstelle had a wide reputation; according to Brooks Atkinson: her "industry in the theater [was] famous throughout Eastern America". However, Broadway critics did not rate her directing highly. In Detroit, though, drama critics praised her greatly, and few of her 165 plays were poorly reviewed; however most of these critics were in fact either friends of Bonstelle or employees of Stair.

Bonstelle's Playhouse was one of America's first civic theaters, and, uniquely in the 1920s, a profitable one. Though it closed in 1933, a year after her death, due to the rise of the movie industry and the Depression, it was purchased by Wayne State University in 1956 for the use of its theater department. In 1963 it was renamed the Bonstelle Theatre in her memory. Bonstelle's approach gained nationwide attention and she was interviewed by authorities from other cities which wanted information about her plan. Her theater influenced the future Federal Theatre Project.

She was well known for spotting talent in young actors, and was skilled at developing that talent. She trained many actors and actresses who later became well known, including Katharine Cornell and William Powell.

title: Thomas Balston

text:
Thomas Balston    (30 July 1883 – 4 October 1967) was a director of the publishers Duckworth and Co., and a noted scholar of English book production and illustration. He was also an amateur painter, having studied under Mark Gertler.

Early years and education
Balston was born at Bearsted House, Bearsted, Kent, fourth son of University College, Oxford-educated William Edward Balston and Emily Julia (née Whitehead). The Balston family had been paper-makers since the 18th century, entering business with the Whatman paper-making family. Their success in business led to social prominence and the Balstons were regarded as being amongst the gentry of their county. His paternal great-uncle was Rev. Edward Balston, headmaster of Eton from 1862 to 1868.

Balston was educated at Eton and New College, Oxford. Before being called to the bar in 1909, he served as tutor to Count Gianbattista Spaletti and his brother Count Cesare Spaletti in Italy. From 1912 to 1914, he was secretary to the publisher T. Fisher Unwin.

Military career
Balston was awarded the Military Cross and an O.B.E. by 1940, at which time he was a Major on the Army's General List, having served during the First World War with the 12th Gloucestershire Regiment in France and Belgium from 1914 to 1919, as a staff captain with the 96th Infantry Brigade from 1915 to 1917, and as Deputy Assistant Adjutant General to the 3rd Division and 3rd Brigade from 1917 to 1918 and 1918 to 1919 respectively. His service in the Second World War came to an end when he was invalided out after three months due to suffering from pneumonia, having been called to Southern Command as a staff captain.

Book illustration
At Duckworth from 1921 to 1934, Balston promoted the work of English wood engravers. He produced several books on the history of the subject.

Death
Balston died in 1967. He bequeathed his collection of pictures, drawings, and prints to The Art Fund, the Victoria and Albert Museum, the Ashmolean Museum and other public institutions in Britain.

Papers
Papers from Thomas Balston relating to the Sitwells, published by Duckworths, are held at Washington State University. A small collection of Balston papers relating to John Martin are held at the Louis Round Wilson Special Collections Library.

title: Circle of the Rhine

text:
The Circle of the Rhine or Rhine Circle (), sometimes the Bavarian  ( or ), was the name given to the territory on the west bank of the Rhine from 1816 to 1837 which was one of 15 (later 8) administrative districts of the Kingdom of Bavaria. Before the French revolutionary wars (1792) most of the land had belonged to the Electoral Palatinate. At the Congress of Vienna in 1815 it was initially promised to the Austrian Empire after having been under a provisional joint Austro-Bavarian administration since 1814. However, in the Treaty of Munich (1816), Austria relinquished the territory to Bavaria.

In 1837, the Circle of the Rhine was renamed the Palatinate (). It was also referred to as the Rhenish Palatinate (). The territory remained Bavarian until 30 August 1946, with the exception of the area detached in 1920, which roughly corresponded to the present day . It then became part of the newly formed federal state of Rhineland-Palatinate.

Geography

The Rhine Circle largely covered the same area as the present Palatinate region, which lies west of the Rhine in the south of the German state of Rhineland-Palatinate. Until 1919 it also included some territory around Homburg and Sankt Ingbert (parts of the  of  and ), which was incorporated into the Territory of the Saar Basin after the end of the First World War as the districts () of  and . After the Second World War there were smaller losses of territory to the Saar Protectorate, especially in the area of Sankt Wendel. As part of the 1969 land reform the region designated as the Palatinate with Rhineland-Palatinate had its northern border changed somewhat; the Diocese of Speyer and the Evangelical Church of the Palatinate still exist today largely based on the historical boundaries of the Circle of the Rhine. In 1974 the two Saarland districts were dissolved and their territory largely merged into the new  ( until 1989).

History
The territory of the Rhine Circle, established in 1816, had been divided before 1792 into a total of 45 secular and ecclesiastical territories, some of which were very small. The largest were the Electoral Palatinate, the Duchy of  and the Prince-Bishopric of Speyer. The Electoral Palatinate and the Electorate of Bavaria had had dynastic links through the House of Wittelsbach for centuries and from 1777 were ruled in a personal union under Elector Charles Theodore. The House of Palatinate-Zweibrücken was also a Wittelsbach branch.

In 1794, the Left Bank of the Rhine, including the Palatinate, was occupied by French revolutionary troops. As a result of the Treaty of Campo Formio (1797) the First French Republic annexed the region and introduced an administrative system in 1798. The subsequent Circle of the Rhine included considerable portions of the  of  as well as smaller parts of the  of the  and .

Following the defeat of Napoleon at the Battle of Leipzig in 1813 and the capture of the Left Bank of the Rhine by the Allies in January 1814, from 2 February 1814 the region was initially under the provisional authority of the  General Government of the Middle Rhine, but, from 16 June that same year, it was placed under the administration of the Imperial-Royal Austrian and Royal Bavarian Joint Land Administration Commission ().

In the main treaty agreed at the  Congress of Vienna in 1815, and dated 9 June 1815, Article 51 stated that () on the Left Bank of the Rhine the former  of the  and , except where stated in the same treaty, were to go "with full sovereignty" and ownership rights under the overlordship of the Emperor of Austria (). The joint Austro-Bavarian administration was initially retained, however.

On 14 April 1816, a treaty was signed between Austria and Bavaria, in which the various territorial changes were agreed. According to Article 2 of the treaty, Emperor Francis I of Austria ceded various regions to Maximilian I of Bavaria. These included, in addition to various regions east of the Rhine, the following regions west of the Rhine:

 In the  of  ():
 the districts of ,  and ; the latter with the exception of the cantons of Worms and ;
 the canton of , in districts of .
 In the  :
 the cantons of ,  and , the latter with the exception of several villages on the road from  to , which were to be compensated, by another territorial transfer, with the agreement of the assembled plenipotentiaries of the allied powers at Frankfurt.
 In the  of :
 the canton, town and fortress of , the latter as a federal fortress in accordance with the regulations of 3 November 1815;
 the cantons of .  and the whole part of the Département of Bas-Rhin on the left bank of the , which had been ceded in the Paris Tractat of 20 November 1815.

The effective date for these changes was stated as 1 May 1816.

In accordance with the prevailing Bavarian administrative structure, the region was given the name "Rhine Circle" () with Speyer as its capital. Of the former French administrative structure, the subdivision of the region into cantons, mayoralties and municipalities was retained.

As his first provincial governor, King Maximilian selected the Privy Councillor () , whose name is responsible for the popular Palatinate nickname for Bavarian officials, .

text:
Edward Cyril De Hault Laston (27 April 18837 November 1951) was a British mnemonist, known for his stage performances and memory recall.

Laston was born in 1883 in Brixton, London, England, to parents Laura Elizabeth Browne and Samuel De Hornigold Laston.  He was raised primarily by his mother after the death of his father in 1888, in both Camberwell, London and in various parts of India.  In 1894 he is recorded as being schooled at Mussorie Stokes School in India and prior to this at La Martiniere College in Calcutta.

Laston's intention was to join the army, however, a case of rheumatic fever incapacitated him for commission.  In 1907, Laston attended a performance of a popular memory man in a Dublin music hall.  He admired the performance and set out to emulate what he had seen.  Laston acquired a copy of Haydn's Dictionary of Dates and started committing them to memory.  By 1908, he had memorised the dates of 1400 battles, and overall a total of 40,000 dates.  By this time he had made connections and friends within the performing world, including the famous magicians of the time The Zancigs.  In the same year, he offered £100 to anyone who could equal his performance.  There is no record of anyone who succeeded in this challenge.

From 1908, for 15 years Laston performed in music halls and theatres up and down the UK, the US, and India. In the US he did a tour that included dates in New York, Boston, Seattle, and Chicago, as well as Calgary and Edmonton in Canada.

For most of his stage career he was known and billed as 'Memora', and in newspaper reviews was often referred to as the 'Human Encyclopedia'.

In 1911, Laston married Marian Lees in Balham, London.

In 1914, Laston wrote the book Memora: an Ideal Memory Trainer (Aids to Memory. Why We Forget and how We Remember).  This was presented with the Memora War Game.  The book was arranged and compiled by his mother Laura Madden (née Browne).

By the 1920s, Laston and his wife had moved to Asbury Park in New Jersey, US.  He had retired from the stage to work in the hotel industry.  By the 1940s he returned to the UK; he died in 1951 in Bexhill-on-Sea, East Sussex.

Edward Laston's great great great grandfather was the poet and Reverend Moses Browne of Morden College.

title: Jahleel Brenton Carey

text:
Jahleel Brenton Carey (1847–1883) was a British officer who became notorious for his alleged responsibility for the death in action of Napoléon, Prince Imperial (1856–1879), at the hands of Zulu warriors in South Africa.

Biographical background

Jahleel Carey was born in Hinckley, Leicestershire, on 18 July 1847. He was the son of Adolphus Frederick Carey, Vicar of Brixham, Devon, a member of the Carey family of Guernsey in the Channel Islands. Like many sons of the Guernsey Carey line, Jahleel was educated at Caen in Normandy. By 1864 he was a cadet at Royal Military Academy Sandhurst, and was gazetted as an ensign in 1865. He joined the 3rd West India Regiment in 1865, and served with the expeditionary force in British Honduras in 1867, where he was mentioned in despatches. In 1868 he was made a lieutenant in the 98th Regiment of Foot.

The Death of the Prince Imperial

During the Anglo-Zulu War of 1879, an incident took place which was to drastically alter the hitherto promising military career of Jahleel Carey. The British had already been shaken by the embarrassing defeat inflicted on their force at the Battle of Isandlwana by the Zulu Impi on 22 January 1879.

The 23-year-old Prince Imperial was a 'guest' of the British army in its theatre of conflict in the Anglo-Zulu War of 1879. Anxious to gain military experience, he was permitted to take part in scouting parties in May, but had alarmed Frederic Thesiger, 2nd Baron Chelmsford, the Commander in Chief, by his habit of enthusiastically pursuing any Zulus he saw during these mounted reconnaissance patrols. He was consequently 'grounded' by Lord Chelmsford. Despite this, the Prince Imperial was allowed to accompany an eight-man mounted patrol on 1 June 1879, led by Lieutenant Carey. Carey had been given the task of the 'care' of the Prince Imperial, it has been supposed, because of his 'French' background, and his speaking fluent French.

It was at noon, about 3pm, that a break was ordered for coffee in a deserted kraal. After about an hour's rest, the Prince gave the order to remount; at this moment they were fired upon by a party of about 40 Zulus. In the melee that ensued, Carey said in his report that he gave the order to saddle up and retreat.  However, a strap under the Prince Imperial's saddle broke, and the Prince was obliged to engage the leading Zulus: two shots were fired from his revolver, before he was cut down at close quarters by the Zulus' deadly weapon, the assegai.

Outcomes

Carey was subsequently court-martialled on 12 June 1879, being accused of 'Misbehaviour before the Enemy'. He strenuously defended himself, pointing out the crucial factor that he was not in effective command of the patrol.  It has since been recognized that Carey was placed in a dangerously ambivalent position, given the social deference expected from a junior officer vis-à-vis the status of the Prince Imperial and the consequent ambiguity of command. However, not all commentators – contemporary or modern, informed, partially informed, or uninformed – have been so balanced. The guilty finding was soon withdrawn, and Carey was acquainted of the fact by Prince George, Duke of Cambridge, in a letter dated 16 August 1879. In the same letter, Carey's promotion to captain, effective from 6 June 1879, was confirmed. Carey, however, never recovered the promise of his early years, and died soon after, in 1883.

title: Belmond Palacio Nazarenas

text:
Belmond Palacio Nazarenas is a hotel in a former convent built on Inca walls at the centre of Cusco, Peru. It is located in a small square, close by the Plaza de Armas and the city cathedral.

The hotel stands on the site of a former Inca building and reuses stones that may have been used in the original construction. Shortly after the new building's completion as a private home in the mid 1500s it had a succession of owners, including the famous warrior and gambler Mancio Serra de Leguizamón.

In 1644 the Jesuits acquired the property and used it as a school. In 1650 Cusco suffered a devastating earthquake and the building required extensive repairs. It continued as a school until 1673, before being sold to a private owner in 1687.

In 1715, it was turned into "beaterio", a type of convent for what was considered to be a "lower order" of nuns. Its occupants came from families of the native aristocracy, rather than immigrant Spanish clergy. The nuns never received the level of funding enjoyed by the "higher orders", and therefore the building's fabric remained simple at best.

A church was built within the complex, which the public were allowed to visit. On such occasions the nuns sat in screened enclosures that still stand today. Although this church is no longer permanently consecrated, it is still used for religious worship, weddings and secular gatherings. A mezzanine area above the church is now used as a library, with a display of artifacts discovered during recent restoration.

One of the former nuns' cells has a fresco of Christ, known as the Lord of Huanca, which has always been highly venerated by the people of Cusco.  It has recently been restored by distinguished art restorer Julio Ninantay.

The nuns ran an orphanage within their complex and also made marzipan delicacies for sale to raise funds. Transactions were conducted via a turntable so that neither seller nor purchaser need see one another. This device can still be seen at the hotel's entrance.

Many early frescoes were painted on the walls of the complex, a number of which remain and have been restored. A fountain sits at the centre of the main courtyard, with Inca-style water channels running from it.

One of the hotel's suites, thought to have once been the Mother Superior's quarters, has a coffered ceiling painted with pink roses. Other rooms contain features such as Inca-style niches and brick arches.

In 1876 a girls' boarding school and a lower school for "young women of scarce resources" were introduced.

In 1961 the Nazarenes dissolved their order into that of the Carmelites and the number of nuns living in the building reduced. By 1977 the last ones had moved out, and the building was leased to the Peruvian government agency Plan Copesco, with the aim of restoring it. Plan Copesco left the building in 1997 and in 1999 the lease was transferred to Orient-Express Hotels. Following a complex restoration project, it opened as Palacio Nazarenas in 2012. The hotel has the first outdoor swimming pool in Cusco, a spa and a restaurant that uses herbs and vegetables grown in the hotel's gardens.

In 2014 the company changed its name to Belmond Ltd. At that time the hotel was renamed Belmond Palacio Nazarenas.

In 2020 The Belmond hotel chain announced the official reopening of two of its hotels: the Belmond Palacio Nazarenas and Belmond Hotel Rio Sagrado.

The hotels features 11 suites, 10 rooms, and 2 villas. The hotel has extensive gardens constructed with streams reminiscent of Inca water channels.

The hotel opened in April 2009 and was acquired by Orient-Express Hotels in December of that year. It was the first hotel in the Sacred Valley with a solar heated swimming pool.  In March 2014 the company changed its name to Belmond Ltd. At that time the hotel was renamed Belmond Hotel Rio Sagrado.

title: Mandarin Oriental Ritz, Madrid

text:
The Mandarin Oriental Ritz, Madrid is a historic five star Belle Époque hotel in Madrid, Spain at No. 5 in Retiro district, next to the Prado Museum. Opened in 1910, it is owned and managed by the Mandarin Oriental Hotel Group. The hotel's façade is a listed national monument.

History
The Hotel Ritz Madrid was built at the behest of King Alfonso XIII who, returning from a tour of Europe, realized that the Spanish Court lacked a hotel with enough pomp for European royalty and other illustrious visitors. His idea was for Madrid to have such a hotel to equal the likes of The Ritz London Hotel and Hôtel Ritz Paris. His own marriage to Victoria Eugenie of Battenberg was another excuse to give Madrid a luxury hotel, the first in the Spanish capital. The king himself contributed part of the capital, along with other members of Madrid society, and he instructed the Ritz Development Company that it would be designed and built under the personal supervision of César Ritz. Although Ritz initially intended to be involved in the project, he was unable to do so because of depression. Although there was an expressed desire of Alfonso XIII supporting the hotel's construction, some of the politicians of the time showed strong opposition to the project, alleging that the projected height of the building was not permitted by zoning laws for this area. Eventually, however, the project was able to proceed.

The Ritz was designed by French architect Charles Mewes and Spanish architect Luis de Landecho. It became one of the first in Madrid to use reinforced concrete in its construction. The most famous Spanish and foreign companies of the time contributed to the decoration of its rooms. Carpets were woven to order at Spain's Royal Tapestry Factory, linens were commissioned from Ireland and crockery and cutlery arrived from England.

The chosen site was once an area occupied by barracks belonging to the Hippodrome Circus and the gardens of the old Theatre Tivoli, and was formerly owned by Jardines del Buen Retiro de Madrid.  The hotel's grand opening on 2 October 1910 was officiated by King Alfonso XIII in the company of ministers and representatives of the mayor of Madrid. The hotel quickly became one of the leaders of the social and cultural life of the capital. The first board was chaired by Luis de Cuadra y Raúl Marquis de Guadalmina. The first hotel manager was Antonio Mella, who had previously managed the Ritz Hotel in Paris and London. His wife helped him in hotel management taking over guest services and laundry rooms.

Belmond sold the Ritz to Mandarin Oriental and the Saudi-based Olayan Group in May 2015 for $148 Million. Mandarin Oriental announced plans to completely renovate the hotel at a cost of $103 million. On 18 September 2018, scaffolding and part of the sixth-floor of the hotel collapsed, killing one construction worker and injuring 11 more. The hotel reopened on April 16, 2021, as Mandarin Oriental Ritz, Madrid.

Architecture and fittings

The building was designed in 1908 by French architect Charles Mewès and built in the period 1908-10 under the direction of Luis de Landecho. This was one of the first buildings in Madrid that used reinforced concrete in its construction, which was completed on 14 May 1910. Notable Spanish and foreign companies were hired to decorate the rooms. The carpets were woven in the Royal Tapestry Factory, linens was commissioned to Irish firms, the furniture was commissioned to Lissarraga y Sobrinos, and mirrors were by Pereantón. The china was by Limoges and cutlery was imported from The Goldsmiths.

Chronology
  The hotel introduced many new culinary customs such as afternoon tea. It also held dances on Tuesday evenings, when new styles such as the foxtrot became popular. Famous guests began to arrive.

Guests
Throughout its history, many famous guests have stayed at the hotel, from Ernest Hemingway to Rainier III, Prince of Monaco and his wife Grace Kelly who celebrated their honeymoon in one of its suites. Others include Ava Gardner, Michelle Pfeiffer and Madonna., Jagatjit Singh and Anita Delgado, Mata Hari, Randolph Hearst and Marion Davies, Haile Selassie.
An unwritten rule not to admit NTR (: artists, film stars or bullfighters, men without a tie -Herbert von Karajan included-, women in trousers) as hotel guests during the Marquet direction made the actor James Stewart unwelcome. However, he flashed his military badge and described himself as a colonel in the American army and therefore was admitted.

title: Ethnicity in the Sunbelt

text:
Ethnicity in the Sunbelt: A History of Mexican Americans in Houston is a 1989 book written by Arnoldo De León and published by the Mexican American Studies Program, University of Houston.

The author discusses the development of Mexican-American culture in Houston, covering the entire history but with a focus on the 20th Century. The book also discusses the change of the Mexican-American ethnic identity in the history of the population. The author stated that LULAC and the middle class of the 1930s and 1940s argued for preserving the Mexican ethnicity but also becoming Mexican Americans. Joseph A. Rodriguez of the University of Wisconsin–Milwaukee wrote that the book, along with several others by other authors, was made to illustrate that Mexican-Americans were bicultural and to counter the 1960s Chicano sentiment against assimilation. According to the author, this was the first book published about the Mexican-Americans of the city.

Mauricio Mazon of the University of Southern California (USC) wrote that the book covers "a conscious movement toward the incorporation of the American dream, especially in terms of its economic and political potential" and at the same time "shows how the ethos of lo mexicano was sustained as a cultural symbol". Richard A. Garcia of Santa Monica College wrote that the book author argued that the changes in American society in its history were "dialectically intertwined" with that of the Mexican-American community in particular and that the latter did not exist in a vacuum.

Mario T. García of Yale University wrote that De León, "unlike other historians, has given us a greater sense of how Mexicans have changed in time in a particular urban setting."

The UH Mexican-American Studies Center and Texas A&M University Press together published a new edition in 2001 that reflected updated historiography.

Background
De León, at the time working at the Center for Mexican American Studies at the University of Houston as a visiting scholar, researched the book from 1986 through 1987. The center created a Visiting Scholars Monographs Program, and this was the first book published in that program.

Reception

Mario García wrote that the book was a "significant" and "ambitious" book, and one that "will be a useful model for others to use in discerning the various changes which Mexicans have undergone in other urban settings." Mario García argued that the book should have focused more on social history and had too much of a focus on political history, and by focusing more on social history the information on women and working classes could have been made more prominent.

Mazon wrote that the book, "a richness and mastery of sources that is compelling", "further establishes De Leon's position in the forefront of Chicano historians, and certainly at the top of Chicano historians of Téjanos".

Richard Garcia wrote that the book "is an excellent example of a study of ethnicity within the emerging reality of Sun Belt politics where community emerges as a metaphor for biculturalism."

title: Thomas Kallampally

text:
Thomas Kallampally (19 April 1953 – 27 February 2002) was a notable politician and educationist from Kanjirappally, Kerala. He was born in Kanjirappally. He started Netaji Vayanasaala a library for the youth at Anakkal, Kanjirappally at the age of 18. He was elected as the State General Secretary of Kerala Students Congress, the students wing of Kerala Congress while doing his Law Degree at Government Law College, Ernakulam. He also served as the PTA president of St Antony's Public school from its inception till his demise.
Kallampally was also a member of Center for Human Resourced Development of State of Kerala and Kerala State Pollution Control Board. He was also a lead campaign manager for the Kerala Congress for various Lok Sabha elections. Kallampally holds the record of the second youngest MLA in the history of Kerala Legislative Assembly having elected to the Assembly at the age of 26.

Early life and education
Kallampally was born on 19 April 1953 in a family of agriculturists belonging to the Nasrani community, in Kanjirappally in Kottayam district of Kerala, India. as the second son of Mr K. M Joseph and Annamma. Thomas Kallampally's parents send him to the AKJM school since he was good at studies from an early age. At the age of 18, he organized the local youth at his hometown to start a Library in his ancestral property, which he named after Netaji Subhash Chandra Bose. After predegree at St. Dominics College, he joined St. Thomas College, Pala for his bachelor's degree in Botany. He was attracted to the students' politics of Kerala Students Congress and soon rose as a dynamic student leader. He then joined Government Law College, Ernakulam  for LLB. He had a brilliant academic career.

Early political career
Kallampally became a member of the Kerala Congress during his student days. He was elected as the district president of Kerala Students Congress, the student wing of the Kerala Congress. Due to his dynamic leadership and flamboyant oratory skills, he was soon elected as the state general secretary of Kerala Students Congress under Mr P. M. Mathew as the state president. Kallampally led a foot protest march of KSC from Kasargod to Parasala against the anti-student policies of the government. He was the only leader to walk the entire 600+ kilo meters with his President. He was asked to contest the panchayat elections in Parathodu and he won the election to be the member of Parathodu panchayat. He worked briefly as a lawyer in High Court of Kerala.

MLA of Kanjirappally
In 1980 Kallampally contested for the Legislative Assembly from Kanjirappally as the Kerala Congress candidate. He defeated Joseph Varanam. Under the leadership of Kallampally, there were many development initiatives like roads, bridges, drinking water schemes and schools that was brought in Kanjirappally. He was subsequently re-elected in 1982 when he defeated Mr Mustafa Kamal by a margin of 8437 votes. He made a mark both inside and outside the Kerala Legislative Assembly with his oratory. He could use both a forensic style and a more flamboyant grand style with ease depending on the situation. A development roadmap was put forth for constituency which he chased professionally to bring the development initiatives. He remained in office until 1987 elections and was known for exceptional development works that he brought in the constituency.

1987 Election
1987 saw a lot of political polarization in Kerala. Kerala Congress was split just before the elections under P. J. Joseph and K. M. Mani. Kallampally's effort to avoid the split turned futile. Meanwhile, George J Mathew, another leader from Kerala Congress and earlier Member of Parliament from the Lok Sabha constituency was at odds with Kerala Congress, decided to contest the legislative elections from Kanjirappally against Kallampally. Both these developments caused the split in the United Democratic Front votes. In the triangular contest, Kallampally was defeated and Mr KJ Thomas of the Communist Party of India (Marxist) won.

Education Initiatives
Kallampally worked as a lawyer after the 1987 election. He spent a lot of his time on education initiatives around Kanjirappally apart from legal career and politics. He worked with the parish priests of Anakkal church to start the St Antony's Public School and Junior College in 1988. Initially the school was set up as an English medium school affiliated to the state syllabus. But the state government under E. K. Nayanar. ordered to cancel the newly setup English medium schools as per the policy of the LDF government. Kallampally decided to pursue a CBSE affiliation to the school on the advice of the then education minister K. Chandrasekharan. It was a time when CBSE schools where unknown in the central Travancore area and CBSE schools at Yercaud and Ootty was the privilege of the elite rich planters. Kallampally realized that a CBSE school was the best way to attain his objective to give the poor people of Kanjirappaly an affordable opportunity to have quality education on par with international standards. In 1988, after his continuous effort, visits to Delhi, meetings with the then Chairman of Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE), H. S Sinha and an inspection from a high power committee, CBSE affiliation was granted to the school. St Antony's Public School and Junior College has since then grown to be one of the best schools in the State of Kerala.  Kallampally was part of the Managing Council and played an intense role from selection of staff, laying down policies, aiding the principal in day-to-day administration challenges to spearheading the larger development initiatives of the school.In 1991, he founded St Antony's College along with few other volunteers in Kanjirappaly with an aim to provide better higher education to the people around Kanjirappally. It was a time when computers were unknown in the area. St Antony's College was the first institution in the central Travancore area to provide DOEACC recognized A Level courses in computer science. He served as the Principal of St Antony's College until his death.

Personal life and family
He married Thresikutty Mathew, a teacher by profession, on 26 September 1982 while he was an MLA. She retired as the principal of St. Dominic's Higher Secondary School in Kanjirapally. They have four sons - Subhash Chandra Jose, an engineer, working as head of Change Management, ING Spain; Mohan Roy Mathews, a lawyer, working with Housing Development Finance Corporation; Vivek Anand T Kallampally, an engineer, working with Microsoft, Bengaluru and Ashok T Kallampally, an architect who is running his own firm Habiqube Architecture Studio.

Personality and image
Kallampally had a frugal lifestyle and was a workaholic. In spite of his academic and political success, he lived an exceptionally simple life. He stayed away from controversies his whole lifetime. He had exemplary oratory skills and was known as the 'Roaring Lion of Kerala' due to his style of speech. He could speak for hours on any subject concerning the state of Kerala or even international matters of relevance. He was referred by the media as the most ego less politician in Kerala politics. Kallampally was easily accessible to the people, travelled in KSRTC buses, mingled freely with the poor and favored anyone in need above political affiliations, which earned him a unique position among the people of Kanjirappally.

title: William Percival Evans

text:
William Percival Evans  (22 November 1864 – 2 September 1959) was a New Zealand chemist who specialised in the study of local brown coals.

Biography
Born in Melbourne, Australia to an English vicar, Evans moved to New Zealand with his family and they settled at Wakefield, south of Nelson. He was educated at Nelson College from 1876 to 1880, and then studied chemistry and mathematics at Canterbury University College, from where he graduated MA with first class honours in 1885. He completed a PhD in chemistry at the University of Giessen in Germany.

Evans was a school teacher at Christ's College from 1892 to 1902 and in 1901 was appointed as a lecturer in chemistry and physics at Canterbury University College, rising to the rank of professor of chemistry. During his time there he was instrumental in preventing women from studying advanced chemistry. Jean Struthers, who studied botany instead, recalled that she was prevented from enrolling for chemistry because Evans "did not consider it a suitable subject for girls: there was too much standing, it was too strenuous, and [she] would have been the only girl. In addition, there was only one toilet in the Department."

He established a research group to investigate New Zealand lignite. He retired as professor emeritus in 1922 and moved to Wellington.

Following his retirement, Evans remained active as a scientist and administrator, serving on the senate of the University of New Zealand from 1931 to 1945. Elected a Fellow of the Royal Society of New Zealand in 1930, he was awarded the society's Hector Medal in 1931 and served as president from 1937 to 1938. He was the foundation president of the New Zealand Institute of Chemistry, and was elected as that body's first honorary fellow in 1944. He was appointed a Commander of the Order of the British Empire in the 1956 New Year Honours.

Evans married Christiana Mayo Kebbell in Wellington on 28 December 1893. He died in 1959 and his ashes were buried in Karori Cemetery.

title: Weetangera Primary School

text:
Weetangera Primary School is a public coed primary school located in the suburb of Weetangera  in Canberra, Australia. It caters for children in kindergarten to grade 6. The school's Principal is currently Julie Cooper.

History
Weetangera Primary School is named for the suburb it is situated in. The history of the school can be traced back to 1875 when the first school was built in the region about one kilometre from the site of the present school and called Weetangera School. The first school was a stringy-bark hut measuring just three by four metres, with a fireplace but no windows. One of the early school's longest-serving teachers was Ellen Clark, who taught at the school for 26 years.  The first Weetangera School closed in 1937, when enrolments dropped to just eight students.

The present-day school opened in February 1973, with an initial enrolment of 384 students.

The enrolment at Weetangera Primary School in 1974, its second year in operation, was 563, despite accommodation providing for only 450 pupils.

Between 1986 and 1988, Weetangera Primary School incorporated a Montessori primary classroom. At the end of 1988, Page Primary School was shut down and pupils moved to Weetangera Primary School.

Until the ACT Schools Authority banned the practice from 1988, corporal punishment was sometimes used at the school.

In July 1990, then ACT Government Minister for Education Gary Humphries announced the Government would close Weetangera Primary School and six other schools. Parents and students protested the decision, and Hugh Hudson was appointed to audit and analyse the savings and impacts of the proposed closures. The Hudson report cast doubt over the closure of Weetangera Primary and two other schools, which were reprieved in the final government decision.

In 1999, the school dedicated its Landcare garden to Barbara Fox, naming it the Barbara Fox Garden. Fox was the school's canteen manager and coordinator of the before and after-school care program. The Landcare garden, featuring more than 300 native plants near the school's entrance, had been developed over several years through a long-term regeneration program.

In 2006, Weetangera Primary School was awarded with a Silver Accreditation Certificate as part of an ACT Government program to encourage schools to reduce less healthy options and increase healthier options. In 2012, SmartStart for Kids named the school its most successful cohort ever, after recording dramatic improvements in strength, flexibility and nutrition training across a group of students in kinder, year 1 and year 2.

title: The Spike Jones Show (series)

text:
The Spike Jones Show was the name of several separate American comedy and variety series that aired on NBC and CBS in the 1950s and 1960s. The series was presented by actor and musician Spike Jones, his wife, musician Helen Grayco and their band, The City Slickers. The series also featured Billy Barty, Freddy Morgan, Paul Garner, Bill Dana, and Lennie Weinrib.

Show origins

After a short stint on the radio, in the late 1940s, Spike Jones began to see that there might be potential in the fairly new medium of television. With this potential in mind, Jones along with Edward F. Cline filmed two half-hour pilots in the summer of 1950; Foreign Legion and Wild Bill Hiccup. Neither were broadcast. Jones then decided to try live television bringing his wife Helen Grayco and his band, The City Slickers with him. For them, live television proved to be a success. The basis for The Spike Jones Show came about after an episode of The Colgate Comedy Hour on NBC. The episode, entitled "The Spike Jones Show", was originally broadcast on February 11, 1951. Three years after that telecast, NBC offered Jones, Grayco and his band their own slot on television.

Original version (Jan.–May 1954)

The first version of The Spike Jones Show premiered on January 2, 1954 on NBC. The series was the first weekly television series that was presented by Spike Jones. The series also starred Helen Grayco and members of the City Slickers. It ran on Saturday evenings alongside The Jackie Gleason Show on CBS.

Second version (Apr.–Aug. 1957)

Nearly three years after The Spike Jones Show finished its run on NBC, CBS decided to offer Jones and his band their own time slot on Tuesday nights. The CBS reincarnation of The Spike Jones Show premiered on April 2, 1957. However, the series was meant for replacement purposes only and its last episode aired on August 27, 1957.

Final version (Jul.–Sept. 1961)

The final version of The Spike Jones Show premiered on July 31, 1961 on CBS. The series aired on Monday nights as a summer replacement only. Its last episode aired on September 25, 1961. This was the last incarnation of the series.

Episodes

Home media

A DVD entitled The Best of Spike Jones features scenes of the 1954 version of The Spike Jones Show. The DVD was released on November 24, 2009.

title: Charles Loeser

text:
Charles Alexander Loeser (January 11, 1864 – March 15, 1928) was an American art historian and art collector.

Life
Charles Loeser was born in New York City on January 11, 1864, into a family of German origin: his father, Frederick Loeser (1833-1911), founded Frederick Loeser & Co. After completing his Master of Arts degree in Philosophy at Harvard University in 1888, Charles Loeser decided to travel to Europe and visit his friend and fellow Harvard alumnus, George Santayana.

Loeser settled in Florence in 1890, where he met and married German pianist Olga Lebert Kaufmann. He spent the rest of his life here collecting and studying Medieval and early Renaissance art and furniture. Loesser purchased his Villa Torri Gattaia, nestled in the Florentine hills behind San Miniato al Monte, around 1908 and started on renovations. In Florence, Loeser devoted himself to his studies and the collecting of works of art, and furniture that was flooding the market at the turn of the century.

Collection
At his death, Loeser's collection totalled over 1,000 pieces.  it contained over two hundred and fifty Old Master prints and drawings, numerous period furnishings, paintings, sculptures and works of applied art. Most were works of Italian Medieval and Renaissance art, but there were also contemporary works, such a collection of Cézanne paintings. Loeser was one of the first collectors to appreciate Cézanne. The whole collection was characterized by the austere sobriety with which these precious antiques and works of art furnished the various rooms of the villa.

Loeser died at the Ritz-Carlton Hotel during a visit to New York on March 15, 1928, and was buried at Cimitero Evangelico agli Allori in Florence. In his will, he directed that the collection of Old Master prints and drawings go to the Fogg Art Museum at Harvard University, that the President of the United States would be able to choose eight of his prized Cézannes "to adorn the White House", and that the selection of over thirty works of art and period furnishings indicated by him should be bequeathed to the Florence City Council.

The Palazzo Vecchio took this collection which would later be known as the "Loeser Bequest". The Bequest still adorns the rooms of the Quartiere del Mezzanino of Palazzo Vecchio, laid out in line with aesthetic canons similar to those that characterized the interiors of the aristocratic mansions of Renaissance Florence, and which the collectors of Loeser's time tended to reproduce in their private residences. The collection was originally set up in the Mezzanino by curator Alfredo Lensi. He had the same vision that Loeser had arranged the space in the Florentine style which kept chronology and style separate from the aesthetic value of the works together. This collection can still be seen in the Palazzo Vecchio set up similarly to how Loeser would have lived with the pieces in his Villa.
