title: Charlie Cotton (2014 character)

text:
Charlie Cotton  is a fictional character from the BBC soap opera EastEnders, played by Declan Bennett. He first appeared on 10 March 2014. He was introduced as the grandson of established character, Dot Branning, played by June Brown and the son of original character, Nick Cotton (John Altman). The character and casting was announced on 22 January 2014. Charlie arrived to inform Dot, who was unaware of his existence, that Nick had died, but it later transpired that this was not the truth as Nick returned in October. His storylines have included: his desperation to keep Nick's fake death secret; his relationships with Dot and mother, Yvonne Cotton (Pauline McLynn); a one-night stand with Ronnie Mitchell (Samantha Womack) which resulted in her pregnancy and their marriage; the car accident that resulted in the birth of his son, Matthew Mitchell Cotton and Ronnie being left in a coma; his affair with Ronnie's sister, Roxy Mitchell (Rita Simons); the breakdown of his marriage and subsequent departure.

It was announced on 23 July 2015 that Bennett had been axed by show bosses. Charlie's departure episode was broadcast on 24 September 2015, where viewers were left wondering if Charlie had been killed by Ronnie and Vincent Hubbard (Richard Blackwood), though he is later revealed to be alive. On 5 April 2017, it was revealed that Bennett would be reprising the role, with Charlie returning on 5 May. He departed again on 9 June, although his voice is heard via a phone call on 12 June. Bennett made another return for two episodes from 14 to 15 December.

Storylines

2014–2015
Charlie accompanies a policewoman who informs Dot Branning (June Brown) of the death of her son, Nick Cotton (John Altman). He returns later and explains that he is Nick's son. Charlie indicates that he is a police detective by saying that a friend down at the station mentioned a dead Cotton. Dot struggles to accept Charlie, while he helps with the arrangements for Nick's funeral. Dot insists that the coffin will be in the house on the day before the funeral. When Dot's friends visit to pay their respects to Nick, Charlie gets into an argument with Ian Beale (Adam Woodyatt) and the coffin falls open and an arm falls out. Charlie is quick to react, and tells the funeral director Les Coker (Roger Sloman) to nail the coffin closed so nothing like it happens again. After Nick's funeral, Charlie takes Dot to the crematorium to see Nick's body before cremation, but they are too late, leaving Dot devastated. Charlie later has sex with Ronnie Mitchell (Samantha Womack) after she accidentally runs over Lola Pearce (Danielle Harold) in her car.

Charlie and Dot continue to grow close and she introduces him to her husband Jim (John Bardon) off-screen. Les begins to blackmail Charlie by threatening to reveal secrets about Nick's death and funeral. Dot calls at the police station, to be told that nobody called "Charlie Cotton" works there and questions whether he is her grandson. She refuses to listen to Charlie's excuses, instead opting to contact his mother Yvonne Cotton (Pauline McLynn) for answers. Yvonne backs up Charlie's story that his case requires him to use a false name, but after the meeting Charlie warns Yvonne to make sure that she keeps their secret. Charlie continues to bond with Dot.

Carol Jackson (Lindsey Coulson) asks Charlie to speak to her grandson, Liam Butcher (James Forde), as the police are asking questions about drug dealing. Charlie leaves his phone in the house, which Carol answers and discovers that Nick is alive. She confronts Charlie, who says Dot is better off without Nick and now he cannot return to her life. Carol tells Charlie to tell Dot the truth or she will, but eventually decides not to as Dot enjoys having Charlie around. However, Dot's stepson Max Branning (Jake Wood) is still suspicious of Charlie, and talks to DC Emma Summerhayes (Anna Acton), who cannot prove that Charlie is a police officer. However, when Charlie reveals to Emma that he knows about her affair with Max, he tells her to back off or he will expose her. Charlie shows up at a care home where he is greeted by Yvonne. She tells him that he is late for work and it is revealed that he is in fact a caretaker. Charlie's car window is smashed, and he receives a text message from Nick, confirming he did it. When Yvonne finds out, she insists they flee him to Ireland, and she forces him to say goodbye to Dot. He is unable to do so, and returns to Dot. With Yvonne gone, he moves in with her. He shows his angry side once again when he believes that Carol has told Dot about Nick still being alive, and, as a result, Carol's distrust grows and she orders him to do a DNA test to prove he is Dot's grandson. They intend to take DNA from Dot's toothbrush, she catches them but participates, and the tests reveal that Charlie is who he says he is.

Charlie is shocked when Ronnie returns and tells him that she is pregnant with his child. Dot encourages him to support her and persuades him to propose to her. As he tries to, Ronnie confesses that she killed a man. He tells her, and later tells Dot, that the policewoman was a carer in the home where he was the caretaker and that he had never been in the police. Ronnie accepts his proposal. Nick reveals himself to Dot, leaving her distraught. Yvonne moves in and they hide Nick.

Ronnie tries to bribe Nick to leave but he takes the money and stays. Charlie and Ronnie marry on New Year's Day 2015, but Ronnie goes into labour at the reception. Ronnie's sister Roxy (Rita Simons) drives her and Charlie to the hospital, but she crashes the car, running over and killing Emma. Charlie suffers a dislocated shoulder and Ronnie dies momentarily, is resuscitated and put into a medically induced coma. Their son is delivered via emergency caesarean and is named Matthew. Charlie struggles with fatherhood and asks Roxy to look after the baby. Charlie soon discovers from Yvonne that Nick caused the car crash because he cut the brakes of the car. Matthew goes missing which makes Charlie realise that he loves his son. When Charlie finds him, he takes Matthew home to Dot's house. He tells the Mitchells the truth about himself and vows to go to the police, but Roxy and Sharon Mitchell (Letitia Dean) convince him not to. When he and Roxy learn that Ronnie may have extreme brain damage when she fails to awake from her coma, they both bond due to their grief and end up kissing and having sex. After Ronnie is woken from her coma, Charlie learns that Dot has killed Nick. When she hands herself in to the police, Charlie gives a statement trying to help her be released, but is arrested himself and charged with assisting an offender, he is later given a suspended prison sentence. Charlie admits to Roxy that he loves her, but, after seeing Ronnie with Matthew, decides that he cannot leave her and asks Roxy to leave Walford.

Eventually, Ronnie and Charlie separate when she grows bored of him and has sex with Vincent Hubbard (Richard Blackwood). Charlie tells Roxy he married the wrong sister and they plan to flee to France with Matthew. Roxy tells Ronnie this, so they come up with their own plan where Roxy goes along with Charlie. Charlie discovers Roxy and Ronnie's secret plan, and attempts to leave with just Matthew, but Ronnie convinces him to leave Matthew behind. The next day, Dot, distraught at Charlie's sudden departure, contacts him and tells him to come back to Walford and fight for custody. Charlie arrives in Walford but is confronted by Ronnie about the custody of their child. Charlie then decides to threaten to reveal how she murdered Carl White (Daniel Coonan), which scares Ronnie. She then asks Vincent to do her a favour and they both confront him at Dot's house. Vincent is then spotted by his mother, who realises that he has a change of clothes and there is no sign of Charlie. Ronnie later tells Roxy that Charlie has "gone", and Masood Ahmed (Nitin Ganatra) finds Charlie's wallet in a bin and hands it to Roxy. Ronnie tells everyone that Charlie went to care for Yvonne after a bad accident, but although Dot believes her, Roxy is sceptical of her story. Two months later, Roxy confronts Ronnie about Charlie, and Ronnie calls Vincent to get Charlie to call Roxy. Charlie reveals to Roxy during the call that he fled the country and is too scared to return to Walford because of Ronnie.

2017
In January 2017, Ronnie and Roxy die on the night of Ronnie and Jack Branning's (Scott Maslen) wedding. Ronnie and Roxy's mother, Glenda Mitchell (Glynis Barber), convinces Dot not to inform Charlie but Dot still expects him to attend their funerals and take custody of Matthew. However, Charlie does not attend. Four months later, Max decides to call Charlie, claiming that he believes Jack is struggling to cope with three children, including one that is not his. When Matthew goes missing, Max tells him he is at Dot's house and when Jack goes there, Charlie answers the door, saying he wants to talk about his son. A few days later, Charlie tells Dot that he has married a woman called Liz (Michelle Connolly) and they live in Ireland. Max convinces Jack to allow Charlie to spend time with Matthew, who reluctantly agrees. He later agrees that Charlie has helped but doesn't trust him. Later, Max tells Charlie he has a proposition for him. Charlie tells Dot that he has spoken to a solicitor about getting custody of Matthew, but Dot thinks he is being selfish as Matthew knows Jack. After Jack invites Dot on a family holiday, she tells him that Charlie wants custody so Jack confronts Charlie saying that he promised never to leave his children, including Matthew, while Max watches. Jack and Charlie argue and Jack punches Charlie when he says Ronnie deserved to die. Jack's solicitor tells Jack that the fight should not affect the case as Charlie goaded him, so Max visits Charlie and assaults him to make it seem that Jack's attack was worse than it was. Jack is arrested and charged with assault. Dot attempts to get Jack and Charlie to make amends for Matthew, but Charlie insists that he will take Matthew to Ireland, despite Dot asking him to stay. Later, Charlie watches Honey Mitchell (Emma Barton) in the park with the children and talks to Matthew. Honey tells him that Jack is a good father who gives the children security, love and comfort and that Charlie's return is harming the children, so Charlie tells Jack that he is withdrawing his application for residency. However, Jack still fears he will lose Matthew and hires someone to make Charlie "disappear", but Max persuades him to cancel it. Liz later comes to Walford and meets Jack, explaining that Matthew would have a good life with her and Charlie. After talking to Mick Carter (Danny Dyer), Jack decides to let Charlie take Matthew. Charlie promises to keep in touch but Max gives him money to fund IVF on the condition that Charlie stays away from Walford and never contacts Jack again, threatening him with more violence if he backs out. After handing his phone to Max and telling him that he is dead inside, Charlie leaves while Max smashes the phone. The next day, Charlie leaves a voicemail on Jack's phone, explaining that he cannot contact him while Matthew settles in, and apologising for the circumstances.

Matthew and Charlie return in December 2017 and Charlie explains to Jack the reason for their return is that Matthew refers to Jack as "dad". Charlie also tells Jack that he just wanted contact and that having Matthew full-time was not "part of the plan", so Jack demands to know what the plan was. Charlie tells Jack that Max set him up and that the company Max works for rented a flat for him. After initially denying it, Max admits that he was responsible for Matthew being taken away as payback and Jack throws Max out. Before leaving for Ireland with Matthew, Charlie sees Max's daughters, Lauren (Jacqueline Jossa) and Abi Branning (Lorna Fitzgerald), who ask him to come back and visit them again soon. In 2019, Dot reveals that Charlie and Liz are expecting another child. In January 2020, Dot leaves Walford and stays with Charlie, Liz and their children in Ireland.

In December 2022, Charlie phones Dot's relative Sonia Fowler (Natalie Cassidy) off-screen, informing her that Dot has died. Charlie's half-sister Dotty (Milly Zero), reveals that he has contracted COVID-19 and is unable to attend the funeral. However, alongside Dotty, he inherits £10,000 whilst his son Matthew inherits £1,000.

Creation and development

Casting and introduction
The character of Charlie Cotton and Declan Bennett's casting were revealed on 22 January 2014. He was introduced to develop new storylines for long-standing character Dot Branning (June Brown), who had had a quiet few years on the show. On his casting, Bennett said that he was 'delighted' to be joining EastEnders and looked forward to working with Brown. The ambiguity over Charlie's intentions were also made clear, as executive producer Dominic Treadwell-Collins hinted that he may follow in the footsteps of his dodgy father and grandfather, who he was named after.

Bennett made his first appearance as Charlie on 10 March 2014, but was credited only as 'police officer' until his full introduction in the following episode in which he revealed his identity to Dot.

Nick Cotton's fake death
Charlie's introduction sees him lying to Dot that her son Nick Cotton (John Altman) is dead. Despite Charlie's lies to Dot and the other residents of Walford, Bennett said in an interview with All About Soap in August 2014 that Charlie is still a "good man", and has "Dot's best interests at heart". He said that Charlie's relationship with Dot is "beginning to blossom", and that "everyone's assumption was that because he was the spawn of Nick Cotton he would be bad."

Ronnie and Roxy Mitchell
On the storyline in which Ronnie Mitchell (Samantha Womack) reveals she is pregnant by Charlie, Bennett said that he thought Charlie should "tread carefully" around Ronnie due to her violent history, and said that the baby was a complete shock to Charlie as he thought Ronnie was "never to be seen again".

Many comparisons have been made from the Charlie/Ronnie romance to the Ronnie/Jack relationship before it. Like that romance, a hurdle for their relationship is Ronnie's sister Roxy Mitchell (Rita Simons).

Departure
On 23 July 2015, it was announced that Bennett had been written out by show bosses after eighteen months playing the character. Bennett had been spotted with co-star, Rita Simons (who plays Roxy) filming his final scenes at a local train station. The pictures show Roxy joining Charlie and Matthew as they prepare to leave Walford. A show spokesperson commented, "We can confirm that Declan Bennett will be leaving EastEnders. We wish him all the best for the future." Bennett tweeted a goodbye to the show following the announcement, "Sayonara Eastenders. It's been a right ride. Much love to all of u for the well wishes. See you on the flip side 😉" In the build-up to his exit, Ronnie ended her marriage to Charlie and asked him to leave their home, which he took as a surprise. Charlie had asked Roxy to leave Walford with him and Matthew, but Roxy secretly informed her sister of his intentions and they teamed up against Charlie. Charlie realised Roxy's agenda when she tried to stall him from leaving, which led to Roxy and Ronnie desperately trying to stop Charlie from leaving. A train arrived hiding Charlie and Matthew, leaving the sisters to think he had taken Matthew. However, when Ronnie heard Matthew crying, it was shown Charlie had left Matthew and jumped onto the train. Bennett tweeted his thanks to his fans for making his time on the show "a sweet ride". He extended his thanks to Matthew, Womack and Simons for making "baby making and adultery such a pleasurable experience", as well as reminding readers to not "Mess With a Mitchell".

Viewers were left to wonder whether Charlie had been killed by Ronnie and Vincent or if he was threatened into leaving. Following the airing of his final scenes, Bennett tweeted a picture of himself looking inquisitive, with a caption of "Vin-Scent". Two months later, on 20 November, it was revealed that Charlie had left the country and was too scared of Ronnie to return. Charlie was not seen on screen, but Roxy did speak to him and he reassured her that he was safe.

Return
Bennett was asked back to the show at the end of 2016. Subsequently, it was reported on 5 April 2017 that Bennett would be returning, nineteen months after his exit. Bennett was seen filming with Jake Wood, who plays Max Branning. After his return aired on 5 May 2017, Bennett revealed: "I got wind of the storyline of Ronnie and Roxy coming to an end and I was quite intrigued so I started watching again to see how it played out and then I got this phone call out of the blue asking: 'Do you want to come back? You've got a biological son here who we think might need his dad!' I'd got back into the show from watching Ronnie and Roxy's exits and I really liked what Sean O'Connor was doing—I was really engaged and I like his style and the long, drawn out nature. It was a bit of a no brainer—it's always nice for an actor to go back and revisit a character and it's only in the soap world that could ever happen; it's quite a unique experience as you wouldn't go back to a stage show and do part two!" Bennett left the show a month later in June. However, he made an unannounced return again in December.

Reception
Charlie's initial appearances were criticised by Kate White from Inside Soap. She said "What's Charlie Cotton all about? He floats in and out of Walford like some kind of benign haunting. We sometimes forget about him even when's on screen in front of us. This plot needs shocking back to life!" Amy Duncan from the Metro thought Charlie "must be dodgy" and wondered "if he was as good as he seemed". Duncan also suspected Charlie would be "Walford's new bad boy" with Nick as his father. Charlie and Ronnie's romance was also praised by Ryan Love from Digital Spy, who said that he was "instantly sold on the pairing" and that the Ronnie/Charlie dynamic was much better than the Ronnie/Jack relationship before it. However, the affair between Roxy and Charlie was not well received, with Love criticising its similar feel to the Ronnie/Jack/Roxy love triangle, and angry how it resulted in the exit of popular character Aleks Shirovs (Kristian Kiehling).

title: History of the Jews in Moscow

text:
The history of the Jews in Moscow goes back from the 17th century, the city of Moscow held 175,000 Jews from the Nazis although Moscow did not become an important Jewish center until the late 19th century when more Jews were legally allowed to settle. Prior to the 19th century, Jews had arrived in the city as prisoners of the Russo-Polish war or after 1790, as merchants allowed one month stays. In the late 1800s, the Jewish population boomed, and then dramatically dropped after the 1891 expulsion of Jews from the city. The population grew once again following World War I, and was a Jewish and Zionist cultural center until the end of the revolution, after which it became a Soviet Jewish center for a period of time. The Moscow Jewish community experienced a number of highs and lows under the Soviet Union as Jewish identity became increasingly taboo in the eyes of the government. After the collapse of the Soviet government and the mass migration of a huge portion of Russian Jews from the country, Moscow has still maintained a sizable Jewish population.

Imperial Russia

From the beginning of the 16th century to the middle of the 17th century, Jews were excluded from Moscow in Russia on account of religious enmity toward them. Conditions underwent a change in the reign of Catherine II. With the separation of White Russia from Poland and its addition to Russia proper (1772), the numerous Jewish populations of White Russia came under Russian rule. They were the first Russo-Jewish subjects. Jewish merchants from White Russia, particularly from the town of Shklov, began to arrive to Moscow, but they remained only for short periods. With the further addition to Russia of Polish territories, Jews from other governments came to Moscow. All these temporary visitors were permitted to stay only in a particular inn, Glebovskoye Podvoriye, also known as the "Jewish Inn." Since the inn was the only place at which these Jews could stay, the prices were extremely high.

Beginning with the second decade of the 19th century the Jewish population of Moscow began to increase. From the year 1827, during the reign of Nicholas I, the Jews were compelled to serve for 25 years in the army. Many such Jewish soldiers were sent to Moscow." Most of the first Jews to settle in Moscow were these cantonists, Jews that had been conscripted to the army as children, and were now done with their military service. Some of them had married Jewish women from the Pale of Settlement, where the vast majority of Jews were stricted to living. In 1858, the Jewish population in the District of Moscow was 340 men and 104 women. During the rule of Tsar Alexander II, Jews who met certain criteria were allowed to live in the city. These were: Jews who had university degrees, completed military service, or were pharmacists, dentists, midwives, or first-guild merchants. As the Jewish population increased, many Jews who came did not fit the criteria and were illegal and unregistered. Liberal city administrators at the time largely looked the other way. In 1871, the Jewish population was about 8,000. In this time, the foundations of the community were laid, including the creation of the first Jewish cemetery in 1860s and the opening of a Jewish school and first formal synagogue in 1871.

When Alexander III became Tsar in 1881, he took more hardline stances on Jews in Russia. By this point, in 1882, the Jewish population of the city had boomed to 12,000-16,000 of whom the majority were not registered legally. Jews were contributing greatly to the economy, and owned 29.3 percent of the capital declared by first-guild merchants, and were some of the most important bankers and entrepreneurs.  With this success, however, came unease from some Russians at the new Jewish influence in the city, and the community now numbered 35,000 in 1890 (3% of the total population). When Grand Duke Sergei Alexandrovich became Governor General of Moscow in 1891, he named one of his goals as being “to save Moscow from the Jews.” An imperial decree was promulgated (March 28, 1891) ordering the expulsion from the city and government of Moscow of all Jewish artisans, brewers, and distillers. Persons who had been born in Moscow and who knew no other place of residence were obliged to go in search of a new home. " Some 20,000 Jews were expelled from the city in short order, and the events sent shock waves through the entire Jewish community of Russia. Poor Jews were sent to the Pale of Settlement on criminal transports and there were large rewards offered to those who caught Jews hiding in the city. The newly-built Choral Synagogue, opened a year prior, was ordered closed in addition to eight other synagogues of the fourteen in the city. In 1897, the Jewish population was 8,095, less than a quarter of what it was prior to the expulsion.

World War I caused a wave of Jewish migration to Moscow, and helped revive to Jewish community to a state of flourishing once again. Additionally, for years, more Jewish students had been coming to the city to study in university. A number of the newly settled Jews also took part in the war industry, and amassed small fortunes. Moscow became a center of Jewish and Zionist culture, and Jewish and Hebrew printing presses, theater, and social and political causes thrived.

Jews in Moscow were active on all sides of the Russian Revolution, and some fought for and some against the Bolsheviks.

Post-Revolution and the Soviet Union

While Hebrew cultural activities continued throughout the revolution, when the fighting was over the new Soviet regime shut down most such cultural institutions in the years immediately following, with the notable exception of Habimah Theater. At the same time Zionist activities were heavily depressed, in the 1920s through the mid 1930s Moscow was the center of Soviet Jewish culture and social activity. The Jewish section of the Soviet Communist Party, Yevsektsiya was headquartered in Moscow, and published the daily Yiddish newspaper, "Der Emes" (the truth) from 1920 to 1938. There was also Jewish state theater and state Yiddish theater in the city in this time period. After the population deflated during the civil war, it rapidly increased—going from 28,000 in 1920 to 86,000 in 1923 to 131,000 by 1926 (6.5% of the total population of the city).

The cultural boom ended in the mid 1930s, following the implementation of a new state anti-religious campaign beginning in 1929. By 1936, the last Jewish school had been shuttered and by 1937 and 1938 most Yiddish schools and cultural institutions had closed as well. The Great Purge also swept up a number of Jewish Moscow elite and lead to their arrest.

In 1940, the Jewish population of the city was estimated to be 400,000.

During World War II, the Jewish Anti-Fascist Committee set up operations in Moscow in 1943. The committee gather major Soviet Jewish figures to help in the Soviet war effort against Nazi Germany and try to mobilize world Jewry around the cause, both in opinion and aid, and they published the Eynikayt newspaper. After the war, a number of the main committee members were arrested on trumped-up false charges on Stalin’s orders, and 10 people were ultimately executed.

Post-war, Stalin embarked on a number of anti-Semitic campaigns and plots. Many of these directly impacted the Moscow Jewish community, and numerous Moscow Jews were fired from universities, hospitals, the press, and the government or arrested and even executed as a result of false charges by Stalin and the government in the last years of his life. One particular motivation for Stalin was the Jewish reaction to Golda Meir's visit to Moscow in 1948 as the first diplomatic representative of the State of Israel. A spontaneous mass gathering in her honor occurred near the Choral Synagogue during her visit on Rosh Hashanah, to Stalin's displeasure. Afterwards, there were a number of efforts to stomp out Jewish culture and feeling and spur anti-Semitism in the Soviet bloc.

While the census of 1959 showed 239,246 Jews (4.7% of the population) registered in the municipal area of Moscow, many think this number to be massive underestimate, and some speculate that Moscow's Jewish population at that time was as high as 500,000.

In the 1950s and 60s, the Choral Synagogue was given permission to distribute the Jewish calendar to other synagogues in the Soviet Union. Starting from 1961, a separation was erected and enforced in the Choral Synagogue to keep foreign visitors, as well as Israeli diplomats, from interacting with the local congregation. In 1962, matzo baking and distribution was restricted in Moscow and large swaths of the Soviet Union. The Moscow Jewish Dramatic Ensemble was established in 1962, and began drawing large crowds performing Yiddish folklore plays, such as those of Sholem Aleichem.

Following the Six-Day War in Israel, a number of Jews applied to emigrate from the Soviet Union to the Jewish State and a large number were denied, known as refusniks. Meanwhile, Jewish nationalist groups gained traction while working underground in an atmosphere of repression. They protested, published samizdat, had seminars on Jewish history, and started Hebrew ulpans. Some of these activists, such as Natan Sharansky, Yosef Begun, and Ida Nudel were arrested as a result.

During Glasnost and Perestroika, Jewish life in Moscow expanded and new cultural organizations formed. At the same time, anti-semitic organizations grew louder and there were rumors that a pogrom could occur during the Moscow celebrations of the millennium of Christianity in Russia. In 1992, firebombs were thrown at the Maryina Roshcha Synagogue in Moscow, and in 1999 there was a failed bomb attack on the Bolshaya Bronnaya Synagogue in the city.

After Soviet collapse and today

While a significant portion of Jews left the Soviet Union in the late 1980s and the 1990s for Israel and the United States, the Moscow Jewish community remains large. More religious institutions, schools, and synagogues have opened in Moscow since the dissolution of the Soviet Union. The Jewish population of Moscow has also been buoyed by the Jews moving from other Soviet provinces and states to Moscow. The 2002 census showed 148,000 Jews living in Moscow, making it the largest Jewish community in Russia.

Plot
Working Mom revolves around the many difficult choices and tradeoffs working women make as they juggle career and family. Choi Ga-young is a successful career woman whose life turns upside down when she accidentally becomes pregnant with the child of her younger co-worker, the troubled but charming Park Jae-sung. Suddenly, she finds herself transformed into a full-time mom dealing with two rowdy little boys.

Determined to return to her glory days, Ga-young decides to start working again, but she has to leave her kids with someone. It would have been her mother, but she died a few years ago and now the only way is to persuade her father to get married again. At first, everything seems to be going smoothly, until Ga-young's plan takes a turn when her new stepmother refuses to take care of her step-grandsons. Thus, Ga-young's quest to win back her job and her husband (who is secretly having an affair with his colleague) begins.

title: Gabriel Waksman

text:
Gabriel Waksman FMedSci, FRS, is Courtauld professor of biochemistry and molecular biology at University College London (UCL), and professor of structural and molecular biology at Birkbeck College, University of London. He is the director of the Institute of Structural and Molecular Biology (ISMB) at UCL and Birkbeck, head of the Department of Structural and Molecular Biology at UCL, and head of the Department of Biological Sciences at Birkbeck.

Research
Waksman's laboratory studies the structures and mechanisms of large nanomachines involved in bacterial secretion with particular emphasis on pilus biogenesis by the Chaperone-Usher pathway and on Type IV Secretion (T4S) Systems. The Waksman laboratory primarily uses X-ray Crystallography and Electron Microscopy to determine 3D structures as well as biochemical and biophysical techniques to uncover the mechanisms used by these nanomachines.

T4S systems

These systems are present in both Gram-negative and Gram-positive bacteria. They form multi-megaDalton machines embedded in membranes and are responsible for the secretion of both proteins and nucleic acid substrates. They play major roles in pathogenicity of, for example, Helicobacter pylori, the causative agent of ulcers. They also mediate transfer of plasmid DNAs during conjugation, a process that leads to the spread of antibiotics resistance genes. T4S systems are composed of 12 proteins named VirB1-11 and VirD4 that assemble into a formidable nanomachine of more than 3 megaDalton in size and spanning the 2 membranes of Gram-negative bacteria.

Pilus biogenesis

Bacterial pili are hair-like surface-exposed organelles. They are responsible for recognition of and attachment to the host and thus, are also crucial virulence factors. Pili are polymer of protein subunits, the assembly of which requires accessory proteins. The Waksman lab engages in research on pili assembled by the Chaperone-Usher (CU) pathway. (CU) pili have clear relevance in the pathogenicity of uropathogenic Escherichia coli, where CU pili mediate bacterial tropism to the bladder to cause cystitis or to the kidney to cause pyolenephritis. CU pili require two accessory proteins for biogenesis: a chaperone that stabilises pilus subunits and ferries them to an assembly platform, the usher, the second accessory protein required in this system. The usher is an extraordinary molecular nanomachine embedded in the outer membrane. It drives subunit recruitment, polymerisation and secretion.

Education and career
Waksman obtained his PhD in Fundamental Biochemistry at the University of Paris in 1982 and after military service in Ivory Coast, worked for Rhone Poulenc Agrochimie as staff scientist. In 1987, he left the company to work as a postdoctoral assistant at Bristol University and the University of Sheffield, and in 1991, moved to the USA to work as a postdoctoral associate in the laboratory of Professor John Kuriyan.

In 1993, Waksman set up his independent laboratory at Washington University School of Medicine in the Department of Biochemistry and Molecular Biophysics where, in 2000, he was appointed the first Roy and Diana Vagelos endowed Professor of Biochemistry and Molecular Biophysics. In 2002, he moved to London to set up the Institute of Structural and Molecular Biology.

Recognition
 Elected member of European Molecular Biology Organization (EMBO) in 2007
 Elected fellow of the Academy of Medical Sciences in 2008
 Elected fellow of the Royal Society in 2012
 Elected a member of the German Academy of Sciences Leopoldina in 2013

title: Joe Williams (wrestler)

text:
Joe Williams (born November 26, 1974) is an American former freestyle wrestler, who competed in the men's middleweight category. He won ten U.S. national, three consecutive NCAA (1996–1998) and two Pan American Games titles (1999 and 2003), scored two bronze medals in the 74 and 76-kg division at the World Championships (2001 and 2005), and finished fifth at the 2004 Summer Olympics.

A graduate of the University of Iowa, Williams has also served as a member of the wrestling squad for the Iowa Hawkeyes, and eventually worked as an assistant head coach for three consecutive seasons. In 2012, Williams launched his own youth wrestling academy in North Liberty, Iowa, where he has been currently appointed as the managing director and head coach.

Career

College
Williams started his sporting career as a member of Mount Carmel High School's wrestling team under head coach Bill Weick. From there, he won four-straight Illinois state wrestling titles, and finished high school with an impressive 152–1 overall record, including 95 career falls and a single violation from an illegal slam on his freshman season. He was also named 1992 and 1993 Illinois High School Athlete of the Year by Chicago Tribune.

In 1994, Williams attended the University of Iowa in Iowa City, Iowa on a wrestling scholarship, where he trained and competed for the Iowa Hawkeyes wrestling program, under his coach and 1972 Olympic champion Dan Gable. While wrestling for the Hawkeyes, Williams compiled a 129–9 overall record at the University of Iowa for four consecutive seasons (1994–1998). In his rookie campaign, he placed seventh in the NCAA meet at 158 pounds with a 30–7 record. After redshirting during the 1995 season, Williams went on to claim the first of three NCAA wrestling titles with two coming in the 158-pound division. During his senior year, Williams dominated the field at the 1998 NCAA Championships, as he capped a perfect 34–0 season and picked up his third straight title at 167 pounds, which resulted him to being named the Most Outstanding Wrestler of the tournament and Iowa's fourteenth four-time NCAA All-American. Additionally, he ranked tenth for the most number of triumphs recorded in Iowa, and ended his career on a 39-match winning streak. At the end of 1998 season, Williams graduated with a bachelor's degree in sociology and communication studies from the University of Iowa.

Freestyle wrestling
In 1999, Williams joined the U.S. world wrestling team, and eventually earned his first berth at the World Championships, where he finished fourth in the 76-kg division behind eventual bronze medalist Adem Bereket of Turkey. On that same year, Williams dominated the field by edging out Cuba's Yosmany Romero for his first career gold medal at the Pan American Games in Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada.

While competing internationally, Williams achieved seven U.S. national titles (1999, 2001–2005, 2007), and obtained a World Cup series trophy in 2003. He also campaigned for his men's middleweight title defense at the 2003 Pan American Games in Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic, and then captured two bronze medals in the same category at the World Championships (2001 and 2005).

Williams qualified for the U.S. wrestling team on his major debut in the men's 74 kg class at the 2004 Summer Olympics in Athens. Earlier in the process, he won a gold medal over Cuba's Iván Fundora at the Olympic Qualification Tournament in Bratislava, Slovakia, and guaranteed his spot on the U.S. team from the Olympic Trials. Williams opened his match by thrashing Georgia's Gela Saghirashvili (5–1), and then stunned 2002 world champion Mehdi Hajizadeh of Iran with an impressive 7–5 verdict to lead the prelim pool and secure a place in the next round. He lost the quarterfinal match 3–2 to Kazakhstan's Gennadiy Laliyev by just two seconds ahead of overtime, but officially finished fifth in the final standings. Williams' dazing defeat from Laliyev set up a fifth-place match against Belarus' Murad Haidarau, who was immediately disqualified by the officials for an off-mat skirmish with quarterfinal opponent and eventual Olympic champion Buvaisar Saitiev of Russia.

Shortly after the Games, Williams compensated for his Olympic defeat with a bronze-medal effort at the 2005 World Wrestling Championships in Budapest, Hungary, and then defended his fifth straight title in the U.S. Nationals. He missed a chance to compete for his 2006 U.S. world wrestling team, but came back with a top five finish in the 84-kg division at the 2007 World Wrestling Championships in Baku, Azerbaijan, losing the bronze medal match to Iran's Reza Yazdani. In early 2008, Williams announced his retirement from competitive wrestling.

Coaching
Williams initially joined his alma mater's team staff as a strength and conditioning coach in 2001, until he was immediately promoted into the position of a full-time assistant coach for the Iowa Hawkeyes wrestling program. After three seasons, he left his staff position from the campus to concentrate on making the U.S. Olympic team for the 2004 Summer Olympics.

While serving as an assistant coach in 2003, Williams was accused of indecent exposure to the girlfriend of former Hawkeye wrestler Jason d'Agata inside her apartment in Iowa City, Iowa. Having denied intentionally of exposing himself, he pleaded not guilty to the Iowa District Court for his charges in 2005, before being acquitted by the jury one year later.

After his sporting career ended in 2008, Williams moved back to his home state of Illinois to focus on his personal life. In 2012, Williams and his family relocated to Iowa City, Iowa, where he established and run a youth wrestling academy through the Iowa City High School. Currently, he serves as a managing director and head coach of the academy.  In 2017, Williams was hired to be co-head coach for the wrestling program at the new Liberty High School in North Liberty, Iowa.

Personal life
Williams' brothers Steve and T.J. also shared the same sporting discipline with him, as the former competed for the Hawkeyes at the University of Iowa, where he picked up two NCAA titles (1999 and 2001), while the latter earned two junior national titles as a college wrestler. On May 2, 2002, Williams' older brother Steve was visiting from Chicago, when he collapsed and died of a massive asthma attack outside the wrestler's former home in Coralville, Iowa.

Williams currently resides in North Liberty, Iowa with his two sons Kaleb and Wyatt.

title: Husker du? (TV program)

text:
Husker du? (Norwegian for "Do you remember?") is a television music program aimed at senior citizens, broadcast between the years 1971 and 1985 by the Norwegian Broadcasting Corporation. It was initiated and largely hosted by Ivar Ruste, accompanied by Odd Grythe initially and Børt-Erik Thoresen after Grythe's health deteriorated. When Ruste retired due to ill health, Thoreson merged the show with a classical-music program he had hosted, continuing until mid-1985. Ruste's death earlier that year influenced Thoreson's decision to conclude the program; at that point 130 programs in the series had been broadcast, with several recordings from the show being published for EMI.

History
On 7 October 1971, a new TV show "aimed at people who had lived a while", hosted by Odd Grythe and Ivar Ruste, Husker du?, was announced. It first premiered on national television on 13 October, starting at 21:15 during the night. It was shot from Engebret Café in Oslo with direction from Bjørn Scheele. Arnt Haugen was responsible for the music, leading an orchestra of seven. It contained interviews with and performances by musicians who were invited to play on the show. The second and third episodes followed on 10 November and 8 December. These were the only planned programmes for the show, but by December, Grythe had informed that it would likely continue over the New Year. Ruste had gotten the idea of TV shows for the elderely after he performed at a nursing home with Grythe and Haugen: "The television really should have been here now!". He had sent the suggestion for a new show to NRK the day after, but it wasn't picked up until a year and a half later, when Grythe's position at the company had changed.

In April 1980, Grythe announced that the 101st episode would be the final one, but stated that a comeback was a possibility. The 100th episode was broadcast on 17 May, Norway's Constitution Day, and the 101st aired on 10 June. In response to the show's conclusion, the production company received thousands of protest letters, many of which were from pensioners' associations. The immense response made them reassess whether to shut it down or replace it with something similar. Despite claims that it was shut down because of company management, Grythe stated that it was entirely his decision to stop.

The show returned to NRK on 1 September 1982 with the 102nd episode.

Ivar Ruste died on 25 February 1985. Ruste was not commemorated on any of the following programmes. When question about this, Grythe stated that "they do not tend to it on such programmes". The woman who called him to ask was also informed that there would only be two more episodes left of the show before Grythe would retire. On 31 May, it was announced that the final programme of the show would air in June, with Grythe retiring in December. The 130th and final programme aired on 30 June 1985.

title: Stonehouse Barracks

text:
Stonehouse Barracks, or RM Stonehouse, is a military installation at Stonehouse, Plymouth. It is the home of 3 Commando Brigade and referred to by commandos as 'the spiritual home of the Royal Marines'.

Origins
Since the Corps' foundation in 1664, Marines have been quartered in Plymouth. Following their formation into three divisions in 1775, His Majesty's Marine Forces became the first corps in Britain to be fully accommodated in their own barracks, which were established in the three divisional towns of Chatham, Portsmouth and Plymouth; Stonehouse is the only one of these to have survived.

As a whole, Stonehouse is described as "the oldest and most important group of barracks in England not forming part of a fortification: a very rare example of C18 planning, and a complex of great historic value".

History

The earliest parts of Stonehouse Barracks date from 1756, but the main phase of construction was undertaken between 1779 and 1785 by James Templer and Thomas Parlby, with later additions in the 19th century by Colonel Godfrey Greene.

18th century
The original 1780s barracks complex consisted of a rectangular parade ground bounded by a long symmetrical barrack range on the east side (which provided accommodation for the 'private marines') together with a matching pair of shorter, officers' barrack blocks to the north and south. The south block included houses at either end for the commandant and his deputy; the north block housed the more junior officers. The west side of the parade ground was closed off with railings and gates, with a small guard house (topped by a clock and cupola) in the centre. A 'canteen' was built at the east end of the south range, and a separate infirmary to the north.

The east and south blocks remain in situ and in use (though both were extended in the mid-19th century); the east block is said to be 'one of the earliest surviving barracks for a large unit of men in England'.

19th century
During the Napoleonic Wars a decision was taken to expand the barracks; this was achieved by purchasing land to the south. A building was also acquired: standing at a short distance from the main quadrangle, the Longroom had served as a public Assembly Rooms since 1760 (predating the building of barracks); it was acquired from the town council in 1805 and converted to serve as an officers' mess. In 1818, the officers moved back to a rebuilt mess complex in the south-east corner of the main barracks, and the Longroom was reconfigured to serve as a school for the children of non-commissioned officers. Later, during the rebuilding of the north range of the barracks, the old infirmary was built over; so from 1859 the Longroom found a new use as an infirmary. A pair of houses were built nearby to house the surgeon and assistant surgeon. The Longroom is still part of the barracks, currently used as a gymnasium.

During the Crimean War there were further moves to expand the barracks and much rebuilding followed. In around 1860 the east barracks block was extended northwards to accommodate more men, and the south block was extended westwards, providing accommodation for more officers. The north range, however, was entirely rebuilt (longer and further to the north, giving the site its present irregular shape). The archway block on Durnford Street, which forms the west side of the parade ground, also dates from this period (1867–71); the range consists of a set of six houses for senior officers, administrative offices and a chapel (originally a schoolroom) above the central entrance arch. A rare survival from the 1830s is a former racquet court, which was converted into a theatre at the time of this rebuilding.

20th century

The divisional structure of the Royal Marines (with divisions based at Chatham, Portsmouth and Plymouth) was dismantled during the Second World War although elements of 41 Commando remained at the barracks after the war. In 1961 the barracks became the home of 43 Commando, a unit which disbanded in 1967, but the barracks accommodated 45 Commando until it moved to RM Condor in 1971. In that year, the barracks became the headquarters of 3 Commando Brigade.

Present day
The barracks remain in current use as the headquarters of 3 Commando Brigade.

Cadets
RM Stonehouse also accommodates:

 Plymouth Division of the Royal Marines Volunteer Cadet Corps
 Band of the Royal Marines Volunteer Cadet Corps Plymouth

Future
In September 2016 the Ministry of Defence announced that Stonehouse Barracks were to be sold off. A Better Defence Estate, published in November 2016, indicates that the site will be disposed of by 2023. In March 2019 it was reported that the closure of the Barracks had been put off until 2027, with plans for a replacement headquarters base having been shelved. The closure date was again later extended to at least 2029.

title: The Second Face

text:
The Second Face is a 1950 romantic drama film directed by Jack Bernhard and starring Ella Raines as a plain woman whose life is drastically changed by plastic surgery.

Plot
Claire Elwood runs to her car and speeds away. Phyllis Holmes chases after her in her own car, but crashes into a truck. She is taken to the hospital, where her head is heavily bandaged. Insurance claims adjustor Mr. West visits her to find out what happened, but she refuses to talk to him. A flashback ensues.

Phyllis works as a secretary to Paul Curtis in Fresno, California. Paul is attracted to her, despite her plainness, but is afraid to risk another potentially disastrous marriage (he is divorced). Mrs. Lockridge, his longtime housekeeper, is unable to get him to change his mind. As Phyllis has just graduated from design school, Paul puts her in touch with Claire Elwood, who works in a fashionable Los Angeles dress shop; Claire's boss, Floyd Moran, is impressed by Phyllis's dress designs, and offers her a job as a salesperson, with a promotion to designer if she works out.

Claire arranges a double date for Phyllis before she arrives, but Jerry Allison, Phyllis's blind date, makes an excuse when he sees what she looks like. Moran, also put off by her looks, does not give her the promised job. When Phyllis is unable to find work, Claire has her fiancé, advertising man Allan Wesson, take her on as a secretary.

Jerry uses his contacts to get Phyllis's dresses manufactured, but under his name as the designer. A philanderer, he keeps her at a distance.

Meanwhile, Allan desperately needs to land the account of Mr. Hamilton. Jerry suggests he get to Hamilton through his attractive blonde daughter Lynn. Soon, Allan is seeing Lynn secretly, and he gets Hamilton as a client.

Paul has to stay in Los Angeles for several months for his work. He is soon a frequent visitor to the apartment Phyllis shares with Claire. She pretends she has been going out every night on dates, but he is not fooled. Jerry finally agrees to a date, but she accidentally overhears him telling Allan he intends to take her to a drive-in movie, where no one can see them together. She confronts him, then storms out. He goes to her apartment to make sure she is safe; suspecting that Jerry has done something to upset Phyllis, Paul punches him. When Phyllis returns, Paul asks her to return with him to Fresno, but she tells him he is the last person she could ever love. After he leaves, when questioned by Claire, she explains that she believes he does not love her, but is only interested in her because he believes her unattractiveness will ensure that she will not leave him, as his wife had done.

Allan arranges to fly to Honolulu with Lynn to get married. He sends Phyllis a telegram to ask her to break the news to Claire. Claire reads the telegram, grabs a pistol and drives away, pursued by Phyllis.

After the crash, plastic surgeon Dr. Vaughn is called in to repair Phyllis's face. He does a wonderful job, making her beautiful. Soon she is seeing wealthy men like Todd Williams. She also visits Moran, demands ten times the salary she was to receive when she was plain, and gets it.

She discovers that her hospital bills have been paid by an anonymous benefactor. Through Mr. West, she is surprised to learn that the last check was signed by Jerry. They become engaged, but Claire knows Jerry too well. She gets Mrs. Lockridge to admit that it was actually Paul who paid the bills. Phyllis rushes back to Fresno, but he says that he believes she is coming to him only out of gratitude for his financial assistance. He also admits that he fears that now that she is attractive, she might some day leave him.  As she prepares to leave, he relents and they embrace.
