title: Colonial history of Northern Nigeria

text:
The Colonial history of Northern Nigeria extends from the British pacification campaigns to the independence of Northern Nigeria in 1953.

Initially, the British involvement in Northern Nigeria was predominantly trade-related and revolved around the expansion of the Royal Niger Company. The Royal Niger Company's interior territories spread north from where the Niger River and Benue River joined, at Mount Patti, Lokoja. The company did not represent a direct threat to much of the Sokoto Caliphate or the numerous states of Northern Nigeria. This changed when Frederick Lugard and Taubman Goldie laid down an ambitious plan to pacify the Nigerian interior and unite it with the rest of the British Empire.

Protectorate
Frederick Lugard proclaimed the protectorate of Northern Nigeria at Ida in Kogi on January 1, 1897. The basis of the colony was the 1885 Treaty of Berlin, which broadly granted Northern Nigeria to Britain on the basis of their protectorates in Southern Nigeria. Hostilities with the powerful Sokoto Caliphate soon followed. The Emirates of Kabba, Kotogora and Illorin were the first to be conquered by the British. In February 1903, the great fort of Kano, site of the Kano Emirate, was captured, followed by Sokoto and much of the rest of its caliphate shortly after. On March 13, 1903, the Grand Shura of the Sokoto Caliphate conceded to Lugard's demands.

Lugard became governor; with limited resources, he administered the region with the consent of local rulers. He governed through a policy of indirect rule, which he developed into a sophisticated political theory. Lugard left the protectorate after some years, serving in Hong Kong, but eventually returned to work in Nigeria, where he decided on the merger of the Northern Nigeria Protectorate with Southern Nigeria in 1914. Agitation for independence from the radically different Southern Protectorate, however, led to a formidable split during the 1940s. The Richards constitution, adopted in 1945, gave overwhelming autonomy to the North. This autonomy eventually included the legislative arenas of foreign relations and customs policy.

Independence
Northern Nigeria was granted independence on March 15, 1953, with Sir Ahmadu Bello as its first Premier. The Northern Peoples Congress under Sir Ahmadu Bello dominated Parliament, while the Northern Elements Progressive Union became the main opposition party.

title: Five Star Final (play)

text:
Five Star Final is a play written by Louis Weitzenkorn. The story is a melodrama about the evils of tabloid journalism. Producer A. H. Woods staged it on Broadway, where it was a hit, running for 175 performances.

Plot
An unscrupulous newspaper publisher decides to boost circulation by reviving an old scandal involving Nancy Voorhees, a woman who was accused of murdering her lover twenty years before. Although she was acquitted by a jury, Nancy fears the damage a revival of the story could cause her family. She is married and has a daughter who is about to have her own wedding to a wealthy young man whose family would not approve of Nancy's past. Nancy begs the assigned reporter not to pursue the story, but he refuses. When the story is published on their daughter's wedding day, Nancy and her husband commit suicide. The daughter seeks out the reporter to kill him for vengeance, but discovers that he is wracked with guilt over what he has done.

Broadway production
Producer A. H. Woods acquired the rights to the play in 1930. At first his intention was to co-produce the play with William A. Brady and have it appear at Brady's Playhouse Theatre. However, this plan fell through and the production finally opened at the Cort Theatre on December 30, 1930, with just Woods producing. Worthington Miner directed. Arthur Byron played the reporter and Merle Maddern played Nancy.

Weitzenkorn was busy revising the script up until the premier, and apparently after as well. Reviewers complained that the first performance was insufficiently rehearsed, and descriptions of the scenes on opening night differ from what was done later.

Cast and characters
The characters and cast from the Broadway production are given below:

Reception
The play received reviews that treated it as a justified indictment of sensationalist journalism, albeit with some reservations. In The New York Times, reviewer Brooks Atkinson took exception to uneven writing and performances, but described it as an "exposé" that deserved consideration "whatever your opinion of the dramatic workmanship". In an article several days later, Atkinson said the play was sometimes as sensationalistic as those it condemned, but it "strikes a crushing blow" against the press. In the Outlook and Independent, Otis Chatfield-Taylor described the production as flawed in several ways, but nonetheless "something very much to be seen" for its "moments of undeniable drama and pathos" and its "violent polemic" against journalistic scandal-mongering. He praised the work of Woods, Miner and the cast.

Adaptations
The play was adapted as a movie twice. The 1931 movie Five Star Final was directed by Mervyn LeRoy and starred Edward G. Robinson, and was nominated for the Academy Award for Best Picture at the 5th Academy Awards. In 1936 the play was again adapted for a movie, this time titled Two Against the World. William C. McGann directed and Humphrey Bogart starred.

The design goal of Impulse was to create a style that follows in the tradition of the Velvet Knights Drum and Bugle Corps from Anaheim, California and the Bridgemen Drum and Bugle Corps from Bayonne, New Jersey.

During its inaugural season, Impulse competed at seven competitions within California, placing 2nd at the DCI Pacific Championships in San Jose, California. In 2000, the corps expanded its tour to thirteen competitions throughout the Pacific Northwest. Impulse concluded with a 2nd place finish at Drums Along the Rockies in Denver, Colorado. In 2001, the corps mounted its first national tour to attend the DCI World Championship Prelims in Buffalo, New York and earned 9th place in Division II.

In 2006, Impulse moved to Division III and won the DCI Division III World Championship Title in Madison, Wisconsin, sweeping every caption. In 2007, the DCI World Championships were hosted for the first time in Pasadena, California. Impulse placed 6th in Division lll finals. Since 2008, Impulse has exclusively toured the west coast to maintain its commitment of uninterrupted financial stability and providing a high level drum and bugle corps experience to its local performers.

title: Santa Maria dei Vergini

text:
Santa Maria dei Vergini is a church in  central Naples, Italy, in the Rione of the Sanità.

History
In 1326, a church and an adjacent hospital and monastery, titled Santa Maria del Borgo de' Vergini, were erected by residents of the Rione of Porta San Gennaro. Assigned to Padri Crucifero, the Cardinal Innico Caracciolo ceded the property to the Congregation of the Mission (Padri della Missione), after it became a parish church. In 1788, the church was rebuilt in its elliptical interior on designs by Luigi Vanvitelli.

Before the war, the main altarpiece by Francesco la Mura depicted a Glory of St Vincent de Paul. Among the chapels, was a canvas depicting a Holy Family, St. Jeanne de Chantal with St Vincent de Paul (1758) by Severino Galante. The church also had works by Giovanni Sarnelli. All were destroyed in a bombing in 1943. The marble sculpture of the Immaculate Conception (1858) on the facade was made by Francesco Liberti and Giuseppe Pirotti.

title: Mariachi Divas de Cindy Shea

text:
The Mariachi Divas de Cindy Shea is an all-female mariachi band based in Los Angeles, California. The band was founded in 1999 by Cindy Shea. In 2009, they became the first all-female mariachi band ever to be nominated for a Grammy Award, and the first to win one. As of 2016, the band has been nominated for seven Grammy awards, winning twice. They are the official mariachi band of the Disneyland resort. In May 2014, they headlined the opening of a new dinner theater in Anaheim, California dedicated exclusively to mariachi music.

Early career
From a very young age, Cindy Shea aspired to become a professional musician. In an interview with the San Gabriel Valley Tribune, she said, "I told my parents when I was only 8 years old that I wanted to become one of the world's best trumpet players." Wanting more lessons, and with more exclusive instructors, than her parents could finance, she began teaching lessons herself to raise the money. She ultimately studied with the likes of Ron Stout, Wayne Bergeron, Bobby Shew, Bill Bing, and Arturo Sandoval. In the male-dominated mariachi music culture, Shea has encountered opposition. As an outstanding player even as a high-schooler, she was a victim of pranks and was told to give up trumpet because it was "too macho".

Mariachi Divas

In the early 1990s, Shea obtained a professional gig as trumpet player for an all-female mariachi band called Mariachi Las Alondras. When that band broke up in 1999, she formed another, calling the group Mariachi Divas. A big break for the new group came in September 2003, when they were discovered by Stan Freese, talent booking director for Disney Resorts, and became the official mariachi band of Disneyland Resort. They quickly became a fixture at Disney's California Adventure theme park and Downtown Disney's "Tortilla Joe" restaurant. They went on to headline Disney festivals such as the holiday-themed "Viva Navidad". Of his choice to spotlight an all-female mariachi band, Freese said, "I try to give our guests something they won’t see anywhere else. The Mariachi Divas are great performers."

Grammy nominations and awards
In the meantime, the Mariachi Divas were experiencing success as recording artists as well. In 2009, with their album Canciones De Amor, they made history as the first all-female mariachi band ever to be nominated for a Grammy award; they went on to win the award that year for Best Regional Mexican Music Album. As of the 2017 Grammy Awards season, seven further nominations followed (Grammy Awards and Latin Grammy Awards combined):
 2010 – 10 Aniversario, nominated for Grammy: Best Regional Mexican Album of the Year
 2012 – Órale, nominated for Grammy: Best Regional Mexican Album of the Year
 2012 – Ay Mi Mexico (from the album Oye), nominated for Latin Grammy: Best Regional Mexican Song of the Year
 2013 – Oye, nominated for Grammy: Best Regional Mexican Album of the Year
 2014 - A Mi Manera, nominated for Best Regional Mexican Music Album (Including Tejano) - WON
 2015 - 15 Aniversario, nominated for Best Regional Mexican Music Album (Including Tejano)
 2017 - Tributo a Joan Sebastian y Rigoberto Alfaro, nominated for Best Regional Mexican Music Album (Including Tejano)
 2020 - 20 Aniversario (Best Regional Mexican Music Album (Including Tejano))

Notable performances
Some of the notable and featured live performances by the Mariachi Divas include:
 Premio La Gente Awards (The LA Forum, 2005)
 Alma Awards (The Shrine Auditorium, 2006)
 National Association of Music Merchants (NAMM) convention (Anaheim, California, yearly since 2001)
 Fiesta Broadway – world's largest Cinco de Mayo celebration (Downtown Los Angeles, 2003 & 2004)
 Inaugurations of Los Angeles mayor Antonio Villaraigosa and California governor Arnold Schwarzenegger
 State luncheon for the President of Mexico (Sacramento, California, 2008)
 Hillary Clinton presidential campaign rally (Los Angeles, 2008)
 Command performance for the President of South Korea (2008)

They have collaborated with other well-known artists on numerous occasions as well, including Joan Sebastian, Jenni Rivera, Marco Antonio Solis, Pablo Montero, Graciela Beltran, Paulina Rubio, and Mariachi Vargas.

Television appearances include Despierta America, Cristina, Control, Primer Impacto, Sábado Gigante, BBQ with Bobby Flay, 12 Corazones, Bienvenido a Casa, The Disney Family Singalong Volume II and A Celebration of the Music of Coco.

In May 2014, the Mariachi Divas were announced as the headline act of Centro del Mariachi, a new all-mariachi themed dinner theater two miles south of Disney resort (reclaiming the site of 2012's failed Battle of the Dance).

title: Cody Fowler

text:
Cody Fowler was a lawyer in Tampa, Florida who was noted early in his career for his willingness to defend African Americans in court, something many other white lawyers at the time were unwilling to do. Fowler went on to become chairman of both Tampa and Florida’s Bi-Racial Commissions in 1959, which were formed to help the city and state to navigate racial issues. He was also appointed president of the American Bar Association in 1950, becoming the first Tampa lawyer to attain that distinction. The Cody Fowler House, which was built for him by M. Leo Elliot in 1922, is a historic home in Temple Terrace.

Early life
Born in 1892 in Arlington, Tennessee, Fowler attended the Missouri Military Academy in Mexico, Missouri, Castle Heights School in Lebanon, Tennessee, the University of Missouri, and Cumberland University.

Career and community involvement

Cody Fowler arrived in Tampa in 1924 and was heavily involved in Tampa’s civic life. His mother, Maud Fowler, was involved in the development of Temple Terrace, and served as its first mayor in 1926. Cody Fowler drafted the city charter, served as city attorney, and also served a term as mayor in 1928. Fowler also filed the application for the first federally chartered thrift in Tampa, First Federal (later Freedom Savings and Loan Association), on the first day applications were being accepted as part of the New Deal in 1933. According to those who worked with him at the bank, Fowler used to tell how he merely happened to be in Washington D.C. at the time and visited the office that handled these charters. First Federal was responsible for most of the home loans in Tampa’s emerging communities, as it had no other competition.

In 1943, Cody Fowler and Morris White united to form a partnership in Tampa. Fowler, a charismatic leader, and White, a reserved academic, brought their distinctive personalities together to manage the firm and guide its successful expansion southward. In 1950, Henry Burnett was the third attorney to join the firm’s Miami office. He was followed shortly thereafter by Richard S. Banick. The firm evolved to become Fowler, White, Burnett, Hurley, Banick & Strickroot in the early 1970s – now simply known as Fowler White.

Tampa Bi-Racial Commission
In 1959, Fowler was called upon to chair the Tampa Bi-Racial Commission. Despite his Southern roots, Fowler was committed to peaceful integration, and brought to the Commission other like-minded people who had cooperated on another bi-racial project, the Progress Village housing development for African-American homeowners. In February, 1960, a lunch-counter protest by the NAACP Youth Council in Tampa led some non-affiliated black youths to take on their own protests that resulted in scattered violence. In response to this, as well as at the urging of Governor LeRoy Collins for Fowler to address similar conflicts appearing across the state, Fowler maneuvered the Commission to mediate the dispute, and met privately to urge local businesses to adopt new policies to avoid further tensions. Along with the NAACP and the Merchants Association, the Commission drafted a plan to desegregate lunch counters at the same time, so that angry whites could not visit reprisals on any one establishment. In the following years, the Commission worked in a similarly quiet way to desegregate other services, including the symbolic importance of convincing the Gasparilla Parade Committee to allow black marchers in the parade.

Legacy
Named Tampa's Man of the Year in 1952.
Cody Fowler's name now adorns Fowler Avenue in Tampa, Florida.
The law firm Cody Fowler co-founded, Fowler White Burnett, P.A. still exists today in Miami (main), Fort Lauderdale, West Palm Beach, and Tampa, Florida.
Cody Fowler's bronze bust is part of Tampa's Riverwalk Historical Monument Trail.

title: Catacombs of Saint Gaudiosus

text:
The Catacombs of Saint Gaudiosus are underground paleo-Christian burial sites (4th–5th century AD), located in the northern area of the city of Naples (now Stella district).

History

The catacombs were probably occupied on a pre-existing Greek-Roman necropolis in the district known nowadays as Rione Sanità, that was uninhabited at that time. According to tradition, it was the burial site of St Gaudiosus, a bishop arrived in Naples from North Africa, due to a shipwreck.

His burial took place between 451 and 453 and the place, although was already the tomb of another bishop, St Nostriano, became an object of veneration.

The entire area of Rione Sanità was uninhabited throughout the Middle Ages because of the numerous mudslides from the hill of Capodimonte which buried the area. The urbanisation of Rione Sanità began only around the sixteenth century and the catacombs returned to their original burial function. During the seventeenth century, with the construction of the basilica of Santa Maria della Sanità just above the ancient church or chapel of St Gaudioso, the underground cemetery was "modernized" with profound changes in its original structure and the destruction of some of it.

After the outbreak of plague in 1656, the vast limestone caves in the valley became a huge open-air graveyard, and in the early 19th-century at the time of Joachim Murat, numerous bones from the "mummification rooms" were moved as well as later to make space for victims of other epidemics, such as cholera of 1836.

Nowadays, only a small portion remains of the original catacombs.

Description
Access to the catacombs is in the crypt, under the raised presbytery of the church of Santa Maria della Sanità. Her depiction is represented in a faint paleochristian fresco detached by a wall of the old church, due to a mud slide.

The icon of the Lady of Health (Santa Maria della Sanità) venerated since the 5th – 6th century, is the most ancient Marian icon in Naples, is now kept in the first right side chapel of the basilica. Many inhabitants of the neighborhood, however, believe that the church is dedicated to St. Vincent Ferrer, because of the popular devotion to this holy Dominican and of the beautiful wooden statue of him, placed at the left of the altar.

The crypt, once a long corridor catacomb, clearly contains on the vault and on the walls, visible frescoes by Bernardino Fera representing stories of martyrs. The arcosolium, placed at the entrance, guards the Tomb of San Gaudioso, with a sixth-century mosaic decoration.

In the various cubicles that open along the arms of the catacombs, were located 5th – 6th century frescoes (St. Peter, among others, and San Sossio, deacon of Pozzuoli) and a mosaic dating before the late 5th century. The tufa sculpture of the dead Christ to the left of the entrance dates back at the end of the 17th century. The 17th century was for the catacombs a new period of use, especially by the Dominican friars. In this era it was, in fact, still widespread the use of the drainers: stone cavities in which corpse were leaned into a fetal position, to make them lose the fluids.

The Dominican friars thought that the head was the most important part of the body as the seat of thoughts; that way, after drying, the heads were preserved, while the rest of the body was amassed in the charnel house.

During this period was also exercised a macabre practice to take the heads of the now dried corpses and lock them in the walls and painting below a body that would give some indication of the profession of the deceased. This type of burial was reserved for the wealthy classes and was later abandoned due to hygienic reasons.

Among those who received such burials were:
 Donna Sveva Gesualda (1611) – princess of Montesarchio, mother of Maria d'Avalos
 Lady Caraccia della Cerenzia (1618)
 Marco Antonio d'Aponte (also spelled de Ponte) (1624) – marquis of Sant'Angelo, president/judge of the Royal Council, member of the Council of Italy
 Giovanni Balducci (~1630) – painter
 Diego Longobardo (1632) – magistrate
 Alessandro d'Afflitto (1635)
 Captain Scipione Brancaccio – baron of Alfano, Spanish army officer; fought at the Battle of White Mountain
 Maria de Ponte – noblewoman

The burial practice was banned in 1637 due to concerns over the condition of the catacombs.

Curiosities
The dead were buried in small openings in the walls, but now only the skulls survived, due to the fact that the surface had been deteriorated by the humidity. Most of that skullcaps are smaller than modern human ones, maybe because of the different nutrition and the healthier way of life.

The Neapolitan actor Antonio De Curtis, known as Totò, was a native of the Rione Sanità and he was used to frequent its catacombs, where there is a fresco representing the victory of Death. This image has probably inspired Toto's poem “A’ livella”.

By the late twentieth century, the Dominican cloister adjacent to the Basilica, had become an inn that sponsors visits to the catacombs of San Gaudioso and San Gennaro. To see even the part illuminated not by the lights, during the visit, it is advisable to bring a flashlight.

The Town of Clinton was incorporated in 1795, within the Commonwealth of Massachusetts; and, later became Clinton, Maine, on March 15, 1820, when the State of Maine was accepted as a State within the United States of America.

The Town was apparently named after Revolutionary War General, and U.S. vice president, George Clinton.  (Note: the Town is not named for Dewitt Clinton, who was born in 1769 and attained his first elective office in the New York state legislature in 1799, several years before becoming New York's governor).

title: North Fork Tangascootack Creek

text:
North Fork Tangascootack Creek is a tributary of Tangascootack Creek in Clinton County, Pennsylvania, in the United States. It is  long and flows through Beech Creek Township. The creek's watershed has an area of . Its major tributaries include Mill Branch and Boiler Run. North Fork Tangascootack Creek does not experience much acid mine drainage and its trout and macroinvertebrate populations are sizeable. The creek is near the Slaughtering Ground Barrens.

Course
North Fork Tangascootack Creek begins in a valley in eastern Beech Creek Township. The creek flows east-northeast, receiving the tributaries Left Branch Puncheon Run and Cowlick Run from the left. The creek then enters Bald Eagle Township, where its valley gets deeper. In western Bald Eagle Township, it receives the tributary Mill Branch from the left. As the creek continues in the same direction, it passes by several strip mines. Further on, the creek turns sharply north and then sharply east, eventually receiving the tributary Boiler Run, again from the left. After picking up Buckhorn Hollow, its final tributary, from the left, it turns south. A short distance later, it enters Tangascootack Creek.

North Fork Tangascootack Creek joins Tangascootack Creek  upstream of its mouth.

Tributaries
Mill Branch has a watershed area of  and joins the creek  upstream of its mouth.  Boiler Run has a watershed area of  and joins the main stem  upstream of its mouth. All of the named tributaries of North Fork Tangascootack Creek enter it from the left.

Hydrology, geology, and geography
North Fork Tangascootack Creek is not significantly affected by acid mine drainage.

The watershed of North Fork Tangascootack Creek has an area of . The creek is shown on the Farrandsville topographical map of the United States Geological Survey.

Outcroppings of sandstone of the Pocono Formation occur in the valley of North Fork Tangascootack Creek. However, the red shale of the Mauch Chunk Formation is not visible in the creek's valley. The hills north of the creek contain no coal but are topped by a conglomerate. The Mercer coal crop line is in the watershed of North Fork Tangascootack Creek. An area of sandy soils is located in the Slaughtering Ground Barrens, immediately north of the creek.

The elevation of North Fork Tangascootack Creek near its mouth is  above sea level. A plateau is located north of the creek.

History and etymology
Historically, the Rock Cabin Railroad ran from the community of Farrandsville up the Tangascootack Creek valley. This railroad had a junction with the Eagleton Railroad at North Fork Tangascootack Creek.

In 1988, a 527-acre tract of land around North Fork Tangascootack Creek was designated as a protected area.

There are a large number of gas well drilling sites just north of North Fork Tangascootack Creek.

Tangascootac is a Native American word for "a foe" and also refers to a Nanticoke chief.

Biology
The trout and macroinvertebrate populations of North Fork Tangascootack Creek have been described as "thriving". Trout reproduce in the creek from its headwaters to its mouth.

The Slaughtering Ground Barrens is situated on a plateau immediately north of North Fork Tangascootack Creek. Plantlife in this area consists of scrub oak, pitch pine, and a number of ericaceous shrubs. The area frequently catches fire, and "fire likely played an important role in shaping" the Slaughtering Ground Barrens Biodiversity Area.

title: Central Illinois Flying Aces

text:
The Central Illinois Flying Aces were a Tier I junior hockey team that played as a member of the United States Hockey League.  Based in Bloomington, Illinois, the Flying Aces played their home games at the Grossinger Motors Arena, located in downtown Bloomington.

History
From 2006 to 2014, Bloomington was home to various minor league professional hockey teams in the International Hockey League (IHL), Central Hockey League (CHL) and then the Southern Professional Hockey League (SPHL). The SPHL's Bloomington Thunder folded in April 2014 when new owners obtained the expansion rights to a Tier I junior team in the United States Hockey League. The new Bloomington USHL team obtained the rights to the name from the previous teams and became the Bloomington Thunder. Initially they kept the SPHL team's logo but rolled out a new logo and color scheme at the USHL Draft.

In 2017, the team rebranded and became the Central Illinois Flying Aces.  On February 28, 2019, the Flying Aces announced they will suspend operations for at least the 2019–20 season.

title: Julianna Raye

text:
Julianna Raye is an American songwriter, singer, actress, entrepreneur, and mindfulness teacher.

Music

She became briefly well known in 1993 when her work as a backing singer and songwriter persuaded producer Jeff Lynne and Warner Bros. Records executive Lenny Waronker to give her a major label debut album release on Reprise Records for the album Something Peculiar.

Despite Warner's backing, and Jeff Lynne as producer the 1993 album failed to make a commercial impact and it was not until 2002 that Raye attempted a comeback with a rock pop album Restless Night, produced by Ethan Johns, known for his work with Ryan Adams, Whiskeytown, and Linda Ronstadt, on John's independent label 3 Crows Music. She was the opening act for Don Henley and Stevie Nicks.

Mindfulness

In 2016, Raye, along with Dave Dennis, Harold Abilock, and Donald W. McCormick, Ph.D., founded Unified Mindfulness LLC and UM-HUB LLC, which create and offer mindfulness programs (e.g., CORE) and mindfulness teacher-training programs (e.g., Foundations and Pathways).
Both companies are committed to employing mindfulness methods that are based in research. They principally teach the Unified Mindfulness meditation system developed by Shinzen Young.

title: The Yokai King

text:
The Yokai King is an action fantasy Japanese feature film starring Shin Koyamada. The film is based on the supernatural beings called yōkai from Japanese folklore. It was mainly filmed in English in various locations of Okinawa, Japan.

Plot
Yokai are a class of supernatural creatures that have long held a prominent place in Japanese folklore. They come in a variety of forms, from hideous demons to mischievous creatures to heroes with supernatural powers. They are sometimes dangerous to humans since yokai are not restrained by the laws of nature and those who are not already part animal have the ability to shapeshift.

The legend goes that Ippei (Shin Koyamada) was found by his foster father in a coconut shell on a beach. Although he was brought up as a normal boy, Ippei could see nature’s spirits, including kijimuna, invisible to human eyes. As with many legendary heroes, Ippei was initially unaware of his supernatural talents and therefore his destiny.

title: David Stainton

text:
David Stainton is an American film and television executive. He was the president of Walt Disney Feature Animation from 2003 to 2006, a period during which the studio converted from a traditional animation studio to a computer animation production company. The films Chicken Little (2005) and Meet the Robinsons (2007) were produced during Stainton's tenure at the studio.

Career
Stainton was hired in 1989 by Walt Disney Pictures and Television as a manager of special projects. He transferred to Walt Disney Feature Animation in 1991 as a creative executive. In 1993 he was promoted vice president of creative affairs, during which he was responsible for adapting Victor Hugo's "The Hunchback of Notre Dame" as an animated feature which was released in 1996. In 1997, he was promoted to senior vice president of creative affairs and supervised Walt Disney Feature Animation France, S.A. from December 1997 until December 1999 where he helped produced a significant portion of Disney's animated production of "Tarzan" released in 1999.

Returning to Burbank in January 2000, he became the executive vice president of both Walt Disney Television Animation and DisneyToon Studio, later becoming president of both divisions in February 2002.

In January 2003, he moved back to Walt Disney Feature Animation as president taking DisneyToon Studios with him. Stainton ordered the closing of the Walt Disney Feature Animation Florida in January 2004.

In January 2006 the Walt Disney Company acquired Pixar and Stainton was replaced by Pixar co-founder Edwin Catmull and Pixar's chief creative officer, John Lasseter, who headed up of both studios. Unusual for the entertainment business, however, Stainton's creative slate survived the regime change, with "Tangled" the last movie he both put into production.

After leaving Disney, he founded Henry's World Media, a family entertainment production company in 2007. Stainton was hired by Paramount as president of Paramount Animation in October 2011, developed the division's business plan, hired the organization's creative and production staff. He left Paramount in 2012, eventually moving to London to become the Executive Producer for Elysian Films. In addition to executive producing the documentary Good Hope about the changing scene in South African politics, Stainton helped to produce Mrs Harris Goes to Paris, released by Focus Features and Universal Pictures worldwide, in the summer of 2022.
