title: Remember (2015 film)

text:
Remember is a 2015 drama thriller film directed by Atom Egoyan and written by Benjamin August. Starring Christopher Plummer, Bruno Ganz, Jürgen Prochnow, Heinz Lieven, Henry Czerny, Dean Norris and Martin Landau, it was a co-production of Canada and Germany. The plot follows an elderly Holocaust survivor with dementia who sets out to kill a Nazi war criminal in retaliation for the death of his family and was inspired by August's consideration that there were fewer parts for senior actors in recent years.

After a screening at the 72nd Venice International Film Festival, it was theatrically released in Canada on October 23, 2015, in Germany on December 31, 2015, and in the United States by A24 on March 11, 2016. Remember received mostly positive reviews and won a few film festival awards. At the 4th Canadian Screen Awards, August received the Award for Best Original Screenplay and Remember was also nominated for Best Motion Picture.

Plot
In a New York City nursing home, Auschwitz concentration camp survivor Zev Guttman, an 89-year-old dementia patient, awakens looking for his wife, Ruth, who died two weeks prior. Another elderly patient and fellow Auschwitz survivor, the incapacitated Max Rosenbaum, reminds Zev of what he promised to do when Ruth died. Max has continually reminded Zev that their families were murdered at the camp by the Blockführer Otto Wallisch, who was believed to have immigrated to the U.S. under the false name Rudy Kurlander. The Simon Wiesenthal Center has located four Rudy Kurlanders, but there is no evidence to arrest any of them. Max reminds Zev that they are the only two who can still recognize Wallisch.

Max convinces Zev to avenge their families by seeking out and killing Wallisch and provides him written instructions to follow. Zev leaves the nursing home in a taxi and boards a train to Cleveland as a Silver Alert is issued for his disappearance. He has moments of confusion but he relies on the letter, which reminds him Ruth is dead, and Max arranges his travel. Max directs Zev to a gun shop in Cleveland, where he buys a Glock 17, and then to the four men in the U.S. and Canada named Rudy Kurlander, one of whom is the former Blockführer.

Zev confronts the first Rudy Kurlander, a German veteran of World War II, in his home, but this Kurlander proves that he served in the North African Campaign and was never near Auschwitz. Zev finds the second Rudy Kurlander in a nursing home in Hearst, Ontario, but he turns out to have been a prisoner in Auschwitz also, sent there as a homosexual, which he proves by showing Zev his arm tattoo.

Zev travels to Boise, and arrives at the house of the third Rudy Kurlander in Bruneau, Idaho. His son, John, an Idaho state trooper, tells Zev that his father died three months ago. John, who thinks Zev is an old friend of his father's from the war, shows him his father's Nazi memorabilia but reveals, after several glasses of whiskey, that his father was only a boy and a cook during the war. When John, who is a neo-Nazi, sees Zev's tattoo and realizes he is Jewish, he becomes enraged and lets loose his German shepherd, Eva, named after Eva Braun. Zev shoots the dog and then John in self-defense, collapses in exhaustion on John's bed and leaves the house in the morning.

In Reno, Nevada, Zev falls in the street and is taken to the hospital, which contacts his relieved son, who travels to Reno. After a young girl reads his letter to him, Zev leaves for South Lake Tahoe, California by taxi. After a night in a hotel where Zev is forced to use his credit card, he arrives at the home of the fourth Rudy Kurlander and his family, and recognizes him from his voice as the Auschwitz Blockführer. Zev's son, who traced him through his credit card and then the taxi service, arrives to witness Zev threatening to shoot Rudy's granddaughter unless he confesses "the truth" to everyone. Rudy admits to his daughter and granddaughter that he was in the SS and killed "many" people. However, he says his real name is Kunibert Sturm — and Zev himself is Otto Wallisch. They were both Blockführers, and after the war, tattooed each other to pose as Jewish survivors. Shocked, Zev shoots Sturm and then, declaring "I remember," fatally shoots himself.

Back in New York, the horrified nursing home residents watch television news reports of the murder/suicide. Max reveals that he recognized Zev as Wallisch when he arrived at the nursing home, and that Wallisch and Sturm killed his family. On Max's desk, a copy of his letter to Zev is shown along with a picture of Otto Wallisch and a handwritten confession by Max.

Cast

Production

Benjamin August, a Jewish writer from New Jersey living in Los Angeles and who had never written a produced film before, told Canadian Jewish News that the concept of Remember "started... with wanting to write a movie starring an older man." He felt elderly actors received few leading parts and that old characters are sympathetic. August sent his screenplay in to Canadian producer Robert Lantos, who envisioned Egoyan as the ideal director.

On April 30, 2014, it was announced that the film would be directed by Egoyan, and would star Christopher Plummer, Martin Landau, Dean Norris, Bruno Ganz, Heinz Lieven, and Jürgen Prochnow. Egoyan said the film came at a time when the last of the Holocaust survivors and criminals were alive, and that trials underway in Germany also made the film timely. Time magazine specifically noted that the trial of Reinhold Hanning was in the news. The director claimed to find August's story unconventional and a "high-risk venture". Plummer, who was Egoyan's first and only choice for the part of Zev, stated he was also attracted to the project for its unconventional take on a historic subject.

Principal photography began on July 14, 2014, with scenes filmed in Sault Ste. Marie, Ontario and northern Ontario.  For the scene in which Zev kills John Kurlander, Egoyan intended to use a stunt double for Plummer, but Plummer demanded he perform the scene himself. Plummer later told CBC News, "For a moment, I was a little bit pissed off.... Because it made me feel suddenly rather old."  However, he admitted firing the gun "frightened" him because "they pack the kick of an elephant" and that he was "terrified" of the dog in the scene. Dean Norris said Plummer used this fear in his performance. The film had a $13 million budget.

Release
On May 11, 2015, A24 acquired distribution rights to the film. Remember was screened in the main competition section of the 72nd Venice International Film Festival on September 10, 2015, where it received a 10-minute standing ovation, and also screened at the 2015 Toronto International Film Festival. The film was released in Canada on October 23, 2015. The film was released on DirecTV Cinema in the United States on December 17, 2015. The film was originally scheduled to open in the U.S. in a limited release on January 15, 2016, but was delayed until February 12. It was then delayed again until March 11, 2016.

Reception

Box office
According to Box Office Mojo, the film grossed $1,184,564 in North America and $2,507,927 in other territories for a worldwide total of $3,692,491. The film made $800,000 in Canada, which was considered disappointing.

Critical response

On Rotten Tomatoes, the film has an approval rating of 69%, based on 100 reviews, with an average rating of 6.4/10. The site's critical consensus reads, "Remember risks wandering into exploitative territory, but it's bolstered by some of Egoyan's best latter-day directing and a typically stellar performance from Christopher Plummer". Metacritic reports a score of 52 out of 100, based on 25 critics, indicating "mixed or average reviews".

Jeryl Brunner of Parade called it "one of the most powerful and unique Nazi revenge films to come around in a long time." Robbie Collin of The Daily Telegraph called the John Kurlander scene "supremely tense" and the film more appealing than Egoyan's last films. John Lasser of IGN wrote "One of the things Egoyan does brilliantly here is to not only offer the larger tale but to work in incredibly tense smaller moments as well," and praised Plummer for "an utterly heartbreaking performance." Tashauna Reid of CBC News wrote "Egoyan takes audiences on an intricate, thrilling ride, with a few surprises along the way," called Plummer's acting "riveting," and Martin Landau and Dean Norris "equally strong." Kate Taylor of The Globe and Mail wrote, "Remember is admirable– remarkably, it builds a drama of genuine suspense around the quest for vengeance of a forgetful 90-year-old– but it is also frustratingly limited in ways that can't really be discussed without revealing its surprise ending."

Jake Wilson of The Sydney Morning Herald gave a more mixed review, judging the film to have a "gimmicky script by newcomer Benjamin August that borrows heavily from Christopher Nolan's Memento." Michael Rechtshaffen of the Los Angeles Times also wrote "Remember benefits mightily from a quietly commanding Christopher Plummer performance that almost makes you forget the wonky plot logic." Richard Roeper panned the film as "bold but often ludicrous." Guy Lodge of Variety also disapproved, writing the film "puts a creditably sincere spin on material that is silly at best. At worst, tyro writer Benjamin August's screenplay is a crass attempt to fashion a Memento-style puzzle narrative from post-Holocaust trauma."

In January 2017, The A.V. Club posted an analysis of the scene where Zev meets the character John Kurlander. The review noted some surface-level similarities between Norris' work as John and his role as Hank Schrader on Breaking Bad, but its main focus was on how events in 2016 and growing vocalization of white supremacists served to make the scene much more disturbing and realistic than it felt when the film premiered in 2015.

title: Joe Jitsu (Dick Tracy)

text:
Joe Jitsu is a fictional police officer, one of Dick Tracys crimefighters in the 1961 syndicated animated cartoon series of the popular comic strip. He has since been criticised as a Japanese stereotype. He is named after Ju-Jitsu, a Japanese martial art. His method of subduing criminals was to grab them by the wrist, and exclaim "So solly!" and "Excuse, prease!" while repeatedly judo-flipping them on the ground violently.  The voice for this character was provided by Benny Rubin.

Both Joe Jitsu and Go-Go Gomez, a Mexican stereotype, have been edited out of some reruns of the Dick Tracy cartoon series. Henry G. Saperstein, then the chairman of UPA, stated "It's just a cartoon, for goodness' sake." Others pointed out that the 'stereotypes' included two Europeans (Hemlock Holmes and Heap O'Calorie, who are British and Irish respectively), and that the Joe Jitsu character was a deliberate attempt to re-introduce a sympathetic Japanese character after the passions of the last war had died down.

In other media
Joe Jitsu makes a cameo in the Drawn Together episode "Foxxy vs. the Board of Education" and is depicted as one of the Asian students who disguised to take the SAT test in place of the other students who are using them to fake their scores.

title: Secundilactobacillus collinoides

text:
Secundilactobacillus collinoides is a rod shaped species of lactic acid bacteria found in fermenting apple juice or cider. It is part of the Lactobacillaceae family. It is Gram-positive, non-spore forming and non-motile prokaryote.

History
Lactobacillus was discovered in 1921 by E.B. Fred, W.H. Peterson, and J.A. Anderson and was categorized based on its ability to metabolize certain carbon and sugars. Secundilactobacillus collinoides was discovered by J.G. Carr and P.A. Davies. It was isolated in fermenting apple juice.

Characteristics
S. collinoides is found in fermenting apple juice or cider. It is found more frequently in factories where sulfur dioxide is either used in small quantities or not at all. It is characterized by it ability to produce lactic acid as a by-product of glucose metabolism. Sugars are necessary for growth of S. collinoides and fructose is preferred to glucose. When S. collinoides was grown with fructose or glucose as the lone carbon-source, it produced lactic acid, acetic acid and ethanol. When glycerol was present, lactic acid production was lower than expected and production of acetic acid and ethanol was higher than expected.

S. collinoides is also responsible for converting glycerol to 3-hydroxy-propionaldehyde (3 HPA) which is a precursor of acrolein, which spoils product quality by conferring a bitter taste. The presence of such complex acids in fruit may indicate that more preservatives are needed to prevent spoilage.

Risk Factors
S. collinoides can be handled in Biosafety level 1 facilities, following appropriate safety procedures.

Genomics
There are 9 strains of S. collinoides: JCM 1123, NBRC 107765, CECT 922, LMG 9194, KCTC 5050, DSM 20486, DSM 20515, LMG 9195, BCRC 11649. All were discovered in fermenting apple juice or cider.

Growth
Depending upon the strain, the optimal growth temperature can range from 30 °C to 40 °C. The GC-content is between 39.7 mol% and 48.5 mol%. It is found in anaerobic conditions . The medium used to grow S. collinoides is lactobacilli MRS agar or broth. It cannot be grown with a medium containing glycerol as the sole carbon source.

title: Paenibacillus macerans

text:
Paenibacillus macerans is a diazotroph bacterium found in soil and plants capable of nitrogen fixation and fermentation. This bacteria was originally
discovered in 1905 by an Austrian biologist named Schardinger and thought to be a bacillus.

Characteristics
Paenibacillus macerans is a part of the family Paenibacillaceae which are facultative anaerobes. It is gram-variable, being gram-positive
or gram-negative rods.
Does not have a capsule and has peritrichous flagella for movement. It does form ellipsoidal, terminal, or subterminal spores
which may last in the soil for many years.

Growth conditions
P. macerans can be grown in the lab on a nutrient agar with a slightly acidic pH around 5. Optimal growth temperature is 30 °C. No  growth in 5% NaCl.

Metabolic capabilities
P. macerans has been shown to have some of the broadest metabolic capabilities of any of the genus Paenibacillus. It is able to ferment hexoses, deoxyhexoses,
pentoses, cellulose, hemicellulose and glycerol under anaerobic conditions.
The high fermentation rates of glycerol makes this an important organism in the study of fuel and chemical production. P. Macerans also produces a significant amount of histamines which may cause allergies in some individuals if ingested. This bacterium is a facultative anaerobe capable of nitrogen fixation so in the absence of oxygen it is able to convert nitrogen gas to ammonia which is more easily used by plants.

Ecology
P. macerans is usually found in soil and plant materials but has also been identified in blood cultures of infants with infection. The bacterium is not normally pathogenic in humans but could cause allergies as a result of its histamine producing properties.

title: Peter Lavies

text:
Peter Lavies or Lavis, Sr. (c. 1790 – c. 1876) was a German-American farmer, tavernkeeper and sometime moneylender from Root Creek, Wisconsin, who was postmaster there, and served three one-year terms as a Democratic member of the Wisconsin State Assembly from Milwaukee County. His son Hubert Lavies succeeded him at different times as postmaster, and as Assemblyman.

Lavies was born in Niederdrees (now a district of Rheinbach) in the Kingdom of Prussia, around 1790. In 1844 he, his wife Margaret, and their three sons and four daughters came to the Greenfield, Wisconsin area from Prussia, buying eighty acres of land at the intersection of roads which are now Cold Spring Road, South 76th Street, and Forest Home Avenue. In addition to farming, he ran a tavern, was postmaster, and lent money since there were no banks nearby (he charged interest rates from seven to ten percent).

By 1864, when his son Hubert Lavies became postmaster of Root Creek, Peter was a widower, and retired. He died at the age of 86 as the result of a fall from a wagon.

title: John Finnemore's Souvenir Programme

text:
John Finnemore's Souvenir Programme is a sketch comedy series broadcast on BBC Radio 4. John Finnemore is the sole writer and performs with Margaret Cabourn-Smith, Simon Kane, Lawry Lewin and Carrie Quinlan. The first series was broadcast on BBC Radio 4 in 2011, and further series have followed annually. A special edition recorded at the Edinburgh Festival Fringe was broadcast in 2012.  A 45-minute special containing new material was broadcast on 27th May 2023, the end credits hinting at a possible new series to follow.
All nine series have been released on CD.

The series contains sketches and character monologues, with only one major recurring character, a storyteller (a fictionalised version of John Finnemore) who narrates a tall tale in the last five minutes of most programmes, and who also provides the show's only recurring catchphrase, opening each story with "Well, since you ask me for...". This segment occasionally serves as a coda to several connecting sketches within a single episode, such as several small cons made in preparation of a milliner's heist or a time machine's journey into the future. The only other recurring character between episodes is an interviewer played by Carrie Quinlan named Patsy Straightwoman, whose interviewees are often played by Finnemore. The format of the Interview sketches was briefly modified with Straightwoman becoming an investigative journalist for a programme called Behind Closed Doors.

Many episodes include a comic song with words by Finnemore and music by Susannah Pearse. Some of these songs include a cello played by Sally Stares. Stares also appears in the Stoppable sketch as a tram driver and in an Orchestra sketch as a cellist. Many episodes also include a recurring sketch that comes up two to four times in the episode. There are four sketches which parody the BBC Radio 4 series The Archers, portraying the show as it supposedly sounds to people who do not regularly listen to it. Starting in the fifth series the performers often break character, usually to complain to John about the sketches or to provide 'footnotes' highlighting factual errors. Another series of sketches involves a man (Finnemore) and the 'voice in his head' (played by Simon Kane) which appears only to give bad advice or to be otherwise unhelpful, often resulting in public awkwardness or humiliation, such as encouraging him to retrieve a tip so that a barista can see him tipping or to disrupt him whilst trying to give directions.

Due to the coronavirus pandemic, the ninth series, broadcast in 2021, was not performed before a live audience or accompanied by live music. The series focused on five generations of a family and their collective lore and traditions (such as the song "Woof, Woof, Woof Goes the Wolfhound") whose developments and origins are explored in and connect several scenes across different episodes. The series' main characters were Russ Golding (Lewin), Deborah Golding née Wilkinson (Cabourn-Smith), Jeremy 'Jerry' Wilkinson (Kane), Vanessa Wilkinson née Noone (Quinlan) and Oswald 'Uncle Newt' Nightingale (Finnemore). The sketch format was modified, with the first five episodes focusing on each of the main characters with scenes from their lives being depicted in reverse order, whilst the sixth depicts their shared experiences told in nonlinear order. Homages are made to the original format, namely 'Uncle Newt' who is analogous with Finnemore's storyteller character, having told stories to Russ, Deborah, Jerry and Vanessa as children, starting them with the catchphrase "Well, since you ask me for...".

A pilot programme with a different supporting cast, titled John Finnemore, Apparently, was broadcast in 2008, starring Tom Goodman-Hill and Sarah Hadland. Many of the sketches in the pilot were subsequently remade for the series.

Awards
John Finnemore's Souvenir Programme was voted Best British Radio Sketch Show in the British Comedy Guide Awards 2011. In 2014, it was awarded Silver for Best Comedy at the Radio Academy Awards. It was also shortlisted for Best Radio Comedy in the 2014 Writers' Guild of Great Britain Awards.

title: Judiciary of Ohio

text:
The judiciary of Ohio is the branch of the government of Ohio that interprets and applies the law of Ohio, ensures equal justice under law, and provides a mechanism for dispute resolution. The court of last resort is the Ohio Supreme Court.

Courts
There are three levels of the Ohio state judiciary. The lowest level is the courts of common pleas, the intermediate-level courts are the district courts of appeals, and the highest-ranking court is the Ohio Supreme Court. Ohio municipal and county courts hear cases involving traffic violations, non-traffic misdemeanors, evictions and small civil claims (in which the amount in controversy does not exceed than $15,000), and also conduct preliminary hearings in felony cases. Ohio mayor's courts are created by some municipalities and hear cases involving traffic violations, violations of city ordinances, and other misdemeanors.

Supreme Court
The highest-ranking court, the Ohio Supreme Court, is Ohio's "court of last resort." A seven-justice panel composes the court, which, by its own discretion, hears appeals from the courts of appeals, and retains original jurisdiction over limited matters.

District courts of appeals
The intermediate-level courts are the Ohio district courts of appeals. Twelve courts of appeals exist, each retaining jurisdiction over appeals from common pleas, municipal, and county courts in a set geographical area. A case heard in this system is decided by a three-judge panel, and each judge is elected.

Courts of common pleas
The Ohio Courts of Common Pleas are the courts of general jurisdiction and have jurisdiction over "all justiciable matters". Each county is constitutionally mandated to maintain a court of common pleas.

Municipal and county courts
Ohio municipal and county courts are courts of limited jurisdiction and courts of record created by the General Assembly. They hear cases involving traffic violations, non-traffic misdemeanors, evictions and small civil claims (in which the amount in controversy does not exceed than $15,000), and also conduct preliminary hearings in felony cases.

Mayor's courts
Ohio mayor's courts are created by some municipalities and hear cases involving traffic violations, violations of city ordinances, and other misdemeanors. Mayor's courts are not considered trial courts or courts of record and are not subject to the supervision of the Ohio Supreme Court, nor are mayor's courts authorized to conduct jury trials. The presiding officer is a magistrate (not a judge) appointed by the mayor and paid by the city or village.

Court of Claims
The Ohio Court of Claims is a court of limited, statewide jurisdiction. The court's jurisdiction extends to matters in which the State of Ohio is a party and the state has waived its sovereign immunity by statute, and also hears appeals from decisions made by the Ohio Attorney General on claims allowed under the Victims of Crime Act.

Officers

Judges
Judges in Ohio are generally elected, except for the Court of Claims, for which judges sit by assignment of the Chief Justice of the Ohio Supreme Court. When there are temporary vacancies in elected judgeships, those vacancies are also filled by assignment by the chief justice.

title: Montowampate

text:
Montowampate (1609–1633), was the Sachem of the Naumkeag or Pawtucket in the area of present day Saugus, Massachusetts at the time of the Puritan Great Migration.  The colonists called him Sagamore James. He was one of three sons of Nanepashemet, the sachem of the entire region occupied by tribes of the confederation.

Early life
Montowampate was born in 1609 to Nanepashemet, the Great Sachem of the Pawtucket Confederation, and his wife, identified in English records only as the Squaw Sachem of Mistick. Nanepashemet's territory was divided following his death in 1619, and Montowampate was given control over the area consisting of present-day Swampscott, Nahant, Lynn, Lynnfield, Marblehead, Reading, Saugus, and Wakefield. Montowampate resided on Sagamore Hill in Lynn, a high bluff located near the head of Long Beach.

Personal life
Montowampate was married to Wenunchus, daughter of Passaconaway. The two married about 1629 in Pennacook (now known as Concord, New Hampshire). Their marriage ceremony was followed by a large banquet. Not long after their marriage, Wenunchus, escorted by a number of Montowampate's men, returned to her father's territory for a visit. Once she arrived safely, Montowampate's men returned home. When Wenunchus was ready to return to Montowampate, Passaconaway sent messengers to Montowampate to tell him that his wife was ready to return and that he should send a convoy to get her.

Montowampate felt that Passaconaway should sponsor the return party, as Montowampate's men had already escorted her to her father. He thought that sending a convoy would make him and his people appear subservient to Passaconaway. Passaconaway felt that he deserved more respect from the young Sachem and told Montowampate that if he wanted Wenunchus' company, he would have to send a party for her. Montowampate still refused, telling Passaconaway that he could either send her with his own convoy or keep his daughter. Wenunchus was known to eventually return to Montowampate, but it is not recorded how the dispute between him and her father was settled.

Relationship with other tribes
In 1631, Montowampate and his brother Wonohaquaham (also known as Sagamore John) met with Chief Masconomet in Agawam (present day Ipswich). Masconomet may have been seeking their assistance in his conflict with the Tarrantine. On the night of August 8, 1631, 100 Tarrantine warriors attacked Agawam. Masconomet, Montowampate, and Wonohaquaham, were all wounded and Montowampate's wife was taken captive. She was ransomed by Abraham Shurd, a colonist from Pemaquid (now Bristol, Maine), and returned to her husband on September 17, 1631.

Relationship with colonists
Montowampate was described by Governor Thomas Dudley as being "of a far worse disposition" than his brother Wonohaquaham. On March 26, 1631, Montowampate went to Governor John Winthrop for assistance after he was defrauded of twenty beaver pelts by a colonist named Watts, who soon returned to England. Winthrop gave the leader a letter of introduction to Emanuel Downing, a London attorney. It is believed that Montowampate may have traveled to England to claim remuneration.

In 1632, Montowampate purchased muskets, powder, and shot from a settler named Richard Hopkins. By 1633, friction had emerged between the Pawtucket and colonists over the boundaries between the two. However, before the issue could be resolved, the tribe was hit by an outbreak of smallpox and suffered many deaths.

Death
In 1633, most of the Pawtucket died during a smallpox epidemic, as they did not have acquired immunity to the new infectious disease. Montowampate died of the disease in December 1633, around the same time as his brother Wonohaquaham. Their younger brother Wenepoykin, also known as Winnepurkett, Sagamore George, George Rumney Marsh, and George No Nose (because of disfigurement from smallpox), was among the relatively few survivors. He took over both his brothers' territories and became sachem of the surviving Pawtucket.

Legacy

An image of Montowampate was included on Saugus' town seal. He is depicted holding a bow and arrow in front of Round Hill and the rising sun.
Montowampate's image is also included on the first floor of the new Saugus Middle High School.  The image, along with some biographical data, was taken from The Saugus Centenary - One Hundredth Anniversary of the Incorporation of the Town of Saugus. 1815-1915. July 3,4,5 1915.

title: Ithaca (film)

text:
Ithaca is a 2015 American drama film directed by Meg Ryan and written by Erik Jendresen. It is based on the 1943 novel The Human Comedy by William Saroyan. The film stars Alex Neustaedter, Jack Quaid, Meg Ryan, Sam Shepard, Hamish Linklater and Tom Hanks. The film was released on September 9, 2016, by Momentum Pictures.

Plot
In 1942, Homer Macauley is a determined 14-year-old who seeks work delivering telegrams to take care of his widowed mother Katie, his older sister Bess and his 4-year-old brother Ulysses. He aims to be the best and fastest bicycle telegraph messenger of the small fictional town of Ithaca, CA.

The very first telegram Homer delivers is to a Hispanic woman who is illiterate in English. She asks him to read it out loud. It's from the Secretary of Defense, informing her of her son's death in the war.

Homer's older brother Marcus, along with most of the young men of the town, has gone to serve in World War II, leaving the families worried. Their father has died recently in the war.

Marcus writes regularly, telling them about his life in the war. He reminds Homer that he's the man of the house in his absence.

At Homer's job he has to make sure the telegrapher Willie Grogan stays alert. He wakes him with cold water and strong coffee. Homer loses his boyish innocence as he delivers telegrams bringing messages of love, wishes, pain, and death, hoping that one of them announces the return of his brother.

Homer is envious of Ulysses as he seems fearless and oblivious to the war. Restless, he goes in to the telegraph office in case he's needed.

Katie regularly 'sees' her husband, Matthew. When Homer wakes to a nightmare and the next day when he tells her his envy of Ulysses' fearlessness, she sees him. Later that day, even the little boy gets spooked by a half man, half machine window display. That night, Homer reads a letter from Marcus out loud to Mr. Grogan, saying he'll shut out the world if his brother dies in the war.

The next afternoon, Homer checks in on Mr. Grogan, only to find him dead after typing out one last telegraph message. It is the one he's been dreading since his brother left. Toby, Marcus' fellow soldier and Homer arrive at the Macauleys' to deliver the news of Marcus' demise.

Cast

Production
On January 29, 2014, it was announced Meg Ryan would direct Ithaca, a film based on the 1943 novel The Human Comedy by William Saroyan, with Ryan, Sam Shepard, Hamish Linklater, and Ryan's son Jack Quaid starring in the film. On June 25, 2014, Tom Hanks joined the cast. Principal photography began on July 21, 2014, and ended on August 22, 2014. It was filmed in Petersburg, Virginia, and also some opening scenes of the film were shot on the Western Maryland Scenic Railroad.

Release
The film premiered on October 23, 2015, at the Middleburg Film Festival. The film was released on September 9, 2016, by Momentum Pictures.

Music
John Mellencamp, Ryan's boyfriend, wrote the entire score for the movie. "Not one note [in Ithaca] is anything other than Mellencamp. He did everything," Ryan said.

In a May 6, 2016 Q&A after a screening of the movie at Geena Davis' Bentonville Film Festival, Ryan said: "The music is so beautiful. John Mellencamp wrote every note – everything – the tiny little needle drops you hear in the back. He wrote about half of it after I read him the script, and then the next half after he saw the movie. He's just incredible."

In addition to the score, Mellencamp wrote two original songs for Ithaca: "Sugar Hill Mountain" (sung by Carlene Carter) and "Seeing You Around" (sung by Leon Redbone). "Sugar Hill Mountain" is a fiddle-driven folk song that describes an idyllic location where there's "bubble gum and cigarette trees," no clocks, every day is spring, and anything you need is "gratis." Meanwhile, the piano-heavy "Seeing You Around" has the sound of a 1940s standard (the time period the movie takes place in) and is made all the more authentically '40s-sounding by Redbone's gruff, baritone vocals. Mellencamp's band provided the backing on both tracks and performed all the music that is in the movie.

Said Carter in 2015: "The way John Mellencamp and I met was he invited me to come and sing this song he had written for the movie that Meg Ryan has coming out called Ithaca. That was when we became friends, when I went to Indiana and recorded with him and the guys this really cool song called 'Sugar Hill Mountain' that's in the movie. And the movie is wonderful. We got to see a rough cut of it and I was very impressed."

The track "Sugar Hill Mountain" (sung by Carlene Carter) was later included in John Mellencamp's album Sad Clowns & Hillbillies released in 2017 and which features 6 tracks with Carlene Carter: this one, one she wrote, one she co-wrote with Mellencamp, one that is a reworking of a track from the 2013 John Mellencamp & Stephen King project Ghost Brothers of Darkland County (which had featured Carter's stepsister Rosanne Cash), one that is a Mellencamp version of a Woody Guthrie lyric, and one where she does backing vocals on a song which was originally for his 1996 album Mr. Happy Go Lucky.

Critical reception
The film has a 22% rating on Rotten Tomatoes, based on eighteen reviews.

Lazeric Deleon Jones (born August 11, 1990) is an American professional basketball player for the Windy City Bulls of the NBA G League. He played college basketball for the UCLA Bruins, and was named a second-team all-conference player in the Pac-12 in 2012. Jones has also played professionally with the NBA G League as well as overseas in Israel, Greece, Hungary.

Early life
Jones was born in Chicago, Illinois. He attended high school in Chicago at Simeon Career Academy, where he played behind future NBA Most Valuable Player Derrick Rose.

College career
Jones went to junior college at John A. Logan College, and he led their basketball team to a Great Rivers Athletic Conference championship during his sophomore year in 2010. He transferred to the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA) in 2010, when he became just the third junior college transfer in 30 years to play for the Bruins basketball program. He averaged 9.1 points and 3.7 assists in 2010–11; however, his performance dropped after a wrist injury in February. Still, he did not miss any games, and he was the only Bruin to start all 34 games.

During the offseason, he underwent a 10-week rehab program and returned to 100 percent by preseason practice the following season. In 2011–12, he was named team captain, and earned second-team All-Pac-12 honors after averaging a team-leading 13.5 points along with 4.1 assists and 3.5 rebounds per game.

Early life
Tole was born in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. She played high school soccer at Little Flower Catholic High School for Girls, where she was a four-year varsity letter-winner in both soccer and lacrosse, and played club soccer for FC Delco Sting.

Collegiate career
Tole attended La Salle University, where she played as a midfielder for the Explorers until switching to defense during the preseason of her sophomore year to cover for a teammate's injury. She scored 8 goals and had 14 assists in 87 appearances for the Explorers, starting every game her sophomore, junior, and senior seasons. The Atlantic 10 Conference named her its defensive player of the year in 2012 and to the all-conference first team in 2012 and 2013. The Explorers won the Atlantic 10 Conference Championship in 2012 and 2013, with Tole scoring in a penalty shoot-out in the latter to help secure the title.

La Salle named Tole to its Hall of Athletes in 2021.

Club career
Tole registered for the 2014 NWSL College Draft but was not selected.

Portland Thorns (2014–2015)
In March 2014, Portland Thorns FC invited Tole to open tryouts and she was selected to the club's preseason roster. Portland signed Tole to a professional contract on April 9, 2014. Following an ankle injury to starter Rachel Van Hollebeke before the 2014 season's opening match, Tole became a starting outside back for the club.

On June 24, 2015, the Thorns waived Tole.

Western New York Flash (2016)
The Western New York Flash signed Tole for the 2016 season. Tole appeared in six matches for the Flash, starting in four, and played 395 total minutes. The team picked up her contract option to extend her through 2017. Tole was an unused substitute for the Flash in the 2016 NWSL Championship match, which the Flash won in a penalty shoot-out.

North Carolina Courage (2017)
On January 9, 2017, the NWSL announced that the Western New York Flash's NWSL franchise rights had been sold to new ownership, with its roster and player rights reassigned to the newly created North Carolina Courage.

On May 27, 2017, Tole announced her retirement from professional soccer without making an appearance for the Courage.

Coaching career
After retiring as a player, Tole joined the La Salle Explorers women's soccer coaching staff in July 2017 as an assistant coach while returning to the university to attend graduate school.

title: Cinnamon-breasted tit

text:
The cinnamon-breasted tit (Melaniparus pallidiventris) is passerine bird in the family Paridae. It is found in Tanzania, Malawi, Mozambique and Zimbabwe. Its natural habitat is miombo woodland.

The cinnamon-breasted tit was described by the German ornithologist Anton Reichenow in 1885 based on a specimen collected at Kakoma in the Tabora Region of Tanzania. He coined the binomial name Parus pallidiventris. The specific epithet combines the Latin pallidus "pale"  and venter, ventris "belly". It was formerly one of the many species placed in the genus Parus. It was moved to the resurrected genus Melaniparus based on the results of a molecular phylogenetic study published in 2013. The genus Melaniparus had been introduced by the French naturalist Charles Lucien Bonaparte in 1850.

The cinnamon-breasted tit has sometimes been considered conspecific with the rufous-bellied tit, (Melaniparus rufiventris). It was formerly generally believed that rufous-bellied tits had pale eyes and the cinnamon-breasted tits dark eyes. A study published in 2015 found that in western Tanzania birds with dark eyes and pale eyes occurred in the same flocks. This suggests that it might be better to consider the cinnamon-breasted tit as a subspecies of the rufous-bellied tit.

Two subspecies are recognised:
 M. p. pallidiventris (Reichenow, 1885) – Tanzania, south Malawi and north Mozambique
 M. p. stenotopicus (Clancey, 1989) – east Zimbabwe and west central Mozambique

Life
His full name was Tysul ap Corun ap Cunedda – or in English Tysul son of Corun, son of Cunedda and he was born around 462 AD.

Tysul's Church

Tysul built a church in Llandyssil, Powys. It was located on a hillside to the south east of the village. and today its remains are still within a roughly circular graveyard, which is still in use.

The south porch is the only surviving part of St. Tysul's church, which was replaced in 1866 by a new church on the north west side of the village. His church was renowned for its timber belfry, and there was strong contemporary feeling against its demolition and replacement.

text:
Ross Murdoch (born 14 January 1994) is a Scottish competitive swimmer who has represented Great Britain at the Summer Olympics in 2016 and 2020, the FINA World Championships and the LEN European Championships, and Scotland at the Commonwealth Games from 2014 to the present. Between 2014 and 2016, Murdoch became a World, European and Commonwealth champion.

Murdoch rose to prominence when he won the gold medal in the 200 metre breaststroke at the 2014 Commonwealth Games in Glasgow, beating favourite, Olympic silver medalist and fellow Scot Michael Jamieson. In 2015, he formed part of the Great Britain squad that won gold in the mixed 4 x 100 metre medley relay at the 2015 World Aquatics Championships, swimming in the qualifying heats, and adding a relay world title to the individual bronze won days earlier in the men's 100 metre breaststroke behind teammate Adam Peaty. In 2016, he qualified for the 100m breaststroke for the Great Britain team in the 2016 Summer Olympics in Rio de Janeiro. In the same year, he won his first European title with a gold medal in the 200 metre breaststroke, also picking up a silver medal in the 100 metre breaststroke silver medal behind teammate Adam Peaty and a bronze medal in the 50 metre breaststroke.

Swimming career
Ross' first notable performance was in the 200 m breaststroke final at the British Gas Swimming Championships 2012 where he achieved a seven-second personal best at the London Aquatics Centre.

In 2013, Ross made his senior international debut at the World Championships in Barcelona, in which he placed 30th in the 50 m breaststroke in 28.00 and advanced to the semi-finals in the 100 m breaststroke, placing 11th in 1:00.07. Ross was also selected for the British 4×100 m Medley Relay which came 9th in the Championships.

In 2014 Ross had international success with Gold in Austin Grand Prix for both the 100 m and 200 m breaststroke as well as taking Gold in the 100 m breaststroke in the Flanders Speedo Cup, receiving the award for top male swimmer due to achieving the highest number of FINA points. In the Scottish National Championships and Commonwealth Trials, Ross picked up two Golds and a Silver medal, achieving a Scottish record in the 100 m of 59.75 which he since improved to 59.56 at the British Championships 2014. In 2015, he claimed the bronze medal in the 100m breaststroke, placing third behind fellow British teammate Adam Peaty and South African Cameron Van Der Burgh with a time of 59.09.

He is currently coached by Ben Higson, although predominantly coached by Jimmy Orr of West Dunbartonshire through his youth and is mentored by Rebecca Adlington

International Swimming League
In 2019 Murdoch was member of the 2019 International Swimming League representing Team Iron.

Commonwealth Games

2014
In July 2014, Murdoch competed in the 2014 Commonwealth Games which were held in his home city of Glasgow, Scotland. He qualified (coming first) for the final of the 200 metre breaststroke with fellow Scots, favourite Michael Jamieson and Calum Tait. He won the Men's 200 metre final, beating Jamieson and Tait at the Tollcross Swimming Centre. This was his first major gold medal. On the second day of the 2014 Commonwealth Games, he qualified as the second fastest swimmer for the 100 metre breaststroke in a time of 59.72, only behind Adam Peaty who swam a time of 59.16 seconds. In the final, Murdoch won the bronze medal with a time of 59.47 seconds. He also qualified for the final of the 50 metre breaststroke, placing 6th in the final.

2022
At the 2022 Commonwealth Games, held starting in July in Birmingham, England, Murdoch won a bronze medal in the 200 metre breaststroke on the first day of swimming competition with a time of 2:10.41. His achievement followed an eleven week retirement from swimming, that started in December 2021 and during which time he did not even get in a pool. Four days later, he won the bronze medal in the 50 metre breaststroke with a time of 27.32 seconds. The following day, he won a bronze medal as part of the 4×100 metre medley relay, splitting a 59.59 for the breaststroke leg of the relay in the final and contributing to a new Scottish record time of 3:35.11. His medals helped to tie the all-time performance record by swimmers representing Scotland at a single Commonwealth Games in terms of total medals won, a record of 12 total medals previously set at the 2006 Commonwealth Games.

2016 & 2020 Olympic Games
Ross finished 9th in the 100m breaststroke at the 2016 Olympic Games in Rio with a time of 1:00.05. During the 2020 Olympic games in Tokyo, Ross finished 12th in the 200m breaststroke.

The Limestone–Gillespie Portage Border Crossing is an international border crossing connecting the towns of Limestone, Maine, United States, and Grand-Sault, New Brunswick, Canada. The crossing is reached by Maine State Route 229 on the American side and by New Brunswick Route 375 on the Canadian side. The United States crossing facilities are the original facilities first built for this crossing in 1933, and were listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2014.

South of the crossing, one hundred yards from the border, is a decommissioned Nike missile base that is now an auto repair shop. It was one of four that protected nearby Loring Air Force Base.

Canadian facilities

The Canadian government first built a border station at this crossing sometime around 1930.  The current facility was built in 1984.

United States facilities
The United States border station originally included the main building and two residences, located to its rear. The residences have since been demolished. The main building is a wood frame structure, a single story in height, with a side gable roof and flanking wings, each of which house two garage bays for performing inspections, and is located quite close to the border.  The building was divided inside to provide space for performing customs procedures by the USCS on one side and immigration procedures by the INS on the other.

Prior to the construction of this station, customs and immigration formalities would have taken place in the nearest town.  With the advent of increased automobile traffic in the 1920s, as well as the need to interdict the movement of contraband liquor due to Prohibition, the federal government realized the need for border stations where immigration formalities and vehicle inspections could be performed close to the border, and consequently planned the construction of a series of such stations.  The Limestone station was authorized as part of a large authorization enacted in 1931.  The federal government purchased land at the border from Walter and Hiram Phair in 1932, construction began in 1933, and the station was opened in January 1934.  Although there were standardized building plans for the construction of these stations, the Limestone facilities are distinct in that they do not follow any of them.  The station is similar to a "Type 2" facility, but uses less expensive construction materials.  The station was listed on the National Register of Historic Places for its architecture and its historical associations with the federal government's efforts to control the nation's borders.

title: Ghost Town (band)

text:
Ghost Town is an American electronic band from Los Angeles, California. The band formed in September 2012 and was signed to Fueled by Ramen in 2013.

The band is made up of vocalist Kevin "Ghost" McCullough and keyboardist Evan Pearce, who left the band for a short period of time beginning in 2015, just a few weeks before the release of Evolution. He returned late 2016. From the group's foundation in 2012 until 2017 the band also included drummer MannYtheDrummer and guitarist/backing vocalist Alix Koochaki.

Alister Dippner creates artwork for the band's releases and is closely associated with them. Ghost Town Tuesday, or GTT, is an event that lasts over the course of a few weeks each round, and the band releases songs every Tuesday. The band has released three albums, Party in the Graveyard, The After Party, and Evolution, as well as two acoustic EPs, Bare Bones and Tiny Pieces. The After Party charted at No. 135 on the Billboard 200 and reached No. 1 on Billboard Top Heatseekers chart.

History

Formation and Party in the Graveyard (2012–2013)
Kevin McCullough, Alix Koochaki, and Alister Dippner all attended high school together in Palm Springs, California. Kevin moved to Hollywood, CA and started Ghost Town with Zachary LeCompte-Goble. They added producer Evan Pearce and drummer Manny Dominick after a few months. After high school, Alister moved to San Luis Obispo to follow his passion for painting. Still being friends, Kevin sent him rough cuts of Ghost Town's first songs. Alister listened to them and replied, "This is like my art as music. I want nothing more than to be a part of whatever you guys make."

On September 4, 2012, Alister Dippner uploaded a sped-up video of himself painting the artwork to "Game Freak" with the song playing in the background, and it went viral. They set up a PureVolume page shortly after and rose to the top of the site's charts.

After the release of "Game Freak", the band decided to write, produce, and release a new song every week, dubbing them "Ghost Town Tuesdays". They released 12 songs over the course of 9 weeks.

Using many of the songs released over the course of four months, along with five new songs, the band self-released their first album, Party in the Graveyard. The band uploaded a version of the album onto YouTube on December 21, 2012. The full album was available on iTunes on January 15, 2013.

Record deal, Party in the Graveyard re-release and The After Party (2013–2014)
On May 7, 2013, the band announced that they were being signed to Fueled By Ramen and joining a tour with Marianas Trench and Air Dubai.

Following the success of the tour, Fueled By Ramen announced the re-release of their debut album. The re-release featured new artwork, remastered recordings, and the addition of four tracks. This was released on Fueled By Ramen on November 19, 2013.

Their second album, The After Party, was announced by the band on May 6, 2014. It was released on June 10, 2014, on Fueled By Ramen. It featured 10 new songs and a new version of "You're So Creepy". Following the announcement, a music video for "You're So Creepy" was released.

The After Party debuted at #1 on the Billboard Top Heatseekers charts and was featured in Rock Sound's 50 Best Albums of the Year for 2014.

Departure of Evan and Evolution (2015–2016)
In July 2015, Evan Pearce announced his departure from Ghost Town due to undisclosed health reasons. In the press release, the band announced they would continue as a trio. Evan Pearce is now back with Ghost Town as of 2017.

The band's third album, Evolution (stylized as EVØLUTION) was announced on their Facebook page on September 10, 2015. The next day, they released a music video for the first single off the album, "Spark". "Spark" was later released as a single on October 16, 2015. The album was recorded at Pulse Studios in Spring of 2015 with Josh Abraham, Nico Stadi, Oligee, and Ryan Williams over a span of 6 weeks.

The album, according to Kevin Ghost, has a different message than the band's previous works.

The second single off of the album, "Mean Kids", focuses on the subject of bullying. On October 22, 2015, "Loner" was available for preview in an article on Billboard. The band called this song "the loner anthem for our generation." A music video for "Loner" was released alongside the album on November 6, 2015.

Lineup change and "In The Flesh" (since 2016)
In 2016, the band opened for Simple Plan on their European tour and played on the entire Warped Tour. Throughout 2016 they released a few singles digitally.

In August 2016 Ghost Town performed at Reading and Leeds Festival for the first time. To celebrate Halloween, they released a new song entitled "Tiny Pieces".

In 2016, Ghost Town covered the My Chemical Romance song "Mama" for a Rock Sound tribute CD.

On December 20, 2016, the band announced on their official Facebook account that Evan Pearce had returned to the band. Since his return, Ghost Town has released 5 new songs, four of which were released once per week on Ghost Town Tuesday during January 2017.

In April 2017, guitarist Alix Koochaki left the band. Five months later, on September 19, drummer Manny Dominick (professionally known as MannYtheDrummer) posted a statement on his Instagram announcing his departure from Ghost Town. Dominick would later join Capture.

On December 25, 2017, the song "Hell" was released as the first single for a new EP. Later on February 13, 2018, the second single "Modern Tragedy" was released. Finally, the new EP entitled "In The Flesh" was released on June 29, 2018.

title: This Woman's Work (Defiance)

text:
"This Woman's Work" is the sixth episode of the second season of the American science fiction series Defiance, and the series' eighteenth episode overall. It was aired on July 24, 2014. The episode was written by Brian Allen Alexander and directed by Allan Arkush.

Plot
Viceroy Mercado (William Atherton) returns to Defiance to inform Niles (James Murray) about the coming Arkfall and that he wants him to go with a team, Nolan (Grant Bowler) included, to retrieve an energy source from the Ark. Nolan and Niles get ready to go with the team when Tommy (Dewshane Williams) comes to join them with Berlin (Anna Hopkins). When Nolan asks Tommy where Irisa (Stephanie Leonidas) is, Tommy says that since Irisa and Berlin do not get along, Berlin will come with them while Irisa stays back. Nolan does not like the idea and tells Tommy that he is not going with them either, causing Tommy to quit his job. Berlin convinces Tommy to leave Defiance with her and sign up with the E-Rep in Texas.

Nolan and Niles get to the fallen Ark along with Churchill (Rob Archer) and an E-Rep soldiers unit. The three of them go inside the Ark to search it and Nolan realizes that the Ark was never a refueling ship but a Gulanee transport vessel. One Gulanee has survived the crash, and the three of them rush out to return to the unit only to find all aboard dead. They return to the Ark, where they are trapped inside the ship while Nolan tries to create a weapon that will kill the Gulanee and save their lives. Nolan needs some extra time and asks Niles to distract the Gulanee. Niles sends Churchill outside on a suicide attack to give Nolan the extra time he needs. The Gulanee kills Churchill, but when it gets into the ship, Nolan's jury-rigged weapon kills it.

Nolan and Niles return to Defiance, but Mercado is displeased with how the mission went and orders Niles to go to the Dakota Reach as a punishment, while the Viceroy will take over the town.

Tommy wants to talk to Irisa about him leaving Defiance and he follows her while she skulks after a Castithan man. He sees her during the moment that Irzu takes over her body, and he believes that she has killed the Castithan. Irisa tells him that she did not and she convinces him to wait and see that the man will wake up and be fine. She tells him everything she knows about what is going on with her and he promises to keep her secret and try to help her. When Tommy tells Berlin that he can not leave because Irisa needs him, but not why, Berlin breaks up with him.

Stahma (Jaime Murray) faces some problems with the holy man, Favi Kurr (Dominic Cuzzocrea), who tells her that her actions will cause problems to their community. Because of her, many Casti women might forget their place and start asking for more power or better treatment from their husbands. Stahma talks to Amanda about it, and Amanda advises her to talk to the other Castithan women. Stahma meets with some of them, but the other women make it clear that they will not support her in what she is trying to do. Since her attempt to convince the other women has failed, she realizes she cannot let them live to tell anyone what she is up to, so she poisons them and frames Favi Kurr for the crime. As a result, Kurr ends up on the shaming rack and is killed.

At the end of the episode, Deirdre (Kristina Pesic) helps Christie (Nicole Muñoz) to get "into the skin" of the Castithans by putting makeup and a wig on her and dressing her like them. Mercado does the same at his home, and the two of them meet at a local Castithan club where Mercado starts flirting with Christie, not knowing who she is. Nolan and Berlin get together after her breakup with Tommy, since Amanda has ignored him to console Niles about his being sent to Dakota Reach.

Feature music
In the "This Woman's Work" we can hear the song "Lonely Nights" by Olivia Pucci.

Reception

Ratings
In its original American broadcast, "This Woman's Work" was watched by 1.61 million; slightly down by 0.03 from the previous episode.

Reviews
"This Woman's Work" received positive reviews.

Michael Ahr from Den of Geek rated the episode with 4.5/5 saying that the episode was another roller coaster ride. "Defiance has been non-stop entertainment this year, and the deck just got another shuffle. Relationships shift, secrets are revealed, and new ones are glimpsed only by the viewers, giving us tantalizing morsels to keep us hungering for more."

Joe Winder of Geeked Out Nation rated the episode with 8.8/10 saying that it was a pretty good episode that moved things along. "In all it was a good episode and we learned interesting things about some of the characters. [...] Never thought Niles was so caring and he even was remorseful about what he did to Churchill. Never would have guessed that Viceroy was an Irathient wanna be. The most shocking thing in this episode is the conversation where Irisa spilled to Tommy that she had no clue what was happening."

Katelyn Barnes from Geeks Unleashed rated the episode with 8.5/10 saying that this was one of her favorite episodes of the show so far.

Rowan Kaiser of The A.V. Club gave a B rating to the episode saying that the episode is not great "but it is a great example of how a science fiction show can take advantage of its setting in order to produce an entirely normal episode." Kaiser also states that the main story of the episode with Nolan and Pottinger, gives the show the opportunity to delve into Pottinger’s character a little bit more.

Billy Grifter from Den of Geek gave a good review to the episode saying that it was his favorite of the season so far and that the end of the episode was an unexpected turn of events. "[The end of the episode] is an odd direction to take the show, but anything unexpected is generally good, if it all makes sense."

Andrew Santos of With an Accent also gave a good review to the episode saying that it was another solid episode for the show. "This second season continues to surprise me. While the first season felt more like a fun and sometimes goofy science fiction series, this second season has really explored the characters, new and old, in ways I wouldn’t have thought. Hopefully Defiance keeps this momentum going."

title: Jazz mugham

text:
The Jazz mugham (also known as Mugham jazz) () is a variant of a musical fusion genre that developed from mixing Azerbaijani jazz with mugham, typically instrumental compositions with a jazz approach to lengthy group improvisations, often using wind and vocal music and displaying a high level of instrumental technique.

History
Vagif Mustafazadeh is credited with fusing jazz with mugham. Mustafazadeh integrated two different ways of musical thinking by conjoining mugham with rich jazz harmony, fusing familiar motifs with swing, using both jazz and mugham types of melodic elaboration Mustafazadeh learned the classical jazz repertoire from recordings by the help of the characteristics of the oral transmission of mugham. After the death of Mustafa Zadeh, his daughter, Aziza Mustafazadeh made popular jazz mugham in Europe, where she issued seven recordings.

The style reached its full fame in the 1950s and 1960s under the influence of composer Rafig Babayev and his Gaya Quartet. Dizzy Gillespie, the legendary American jazz trumpeter, reportedly lauded Mustafazadeh for creating "the music of the future."
