title: Alice Through the Looking Glass (2016 film)

text:
Alice Through the Looking Glass is a 2016 American live-action/animated fantasy adventure film directed by James Bobin, written by Linda Woolverton and produced by Tim Burton, Joe Roth, Suzanne Todd, and Jennifer Todd. It is based on the characters created by Lewis Carroll and it is the sequel to Disney's 2010 live-action feature film Alice in Wonderland. Johnny Depp, Anne Hathaway, Helena Bonham Carter, Matt Lucas, Mia Wasikowska, Alan Rickman, Stephen Fry, Michael Sheen, Barbara Windsor, Timothy Spall, Paul Whitehouse, Lindsay Duncan, Geraldine James, and Leo Bill reprise their roles from the previous film with Rhys Ifans and Sacha Baron Cohen joining the cast. It also features Rickman, Windsor, and Andrew Sachs in their final film roles prior to their deaths. In the film, a now 22-year-old Alice comes across a magical looking glass that takes her back to Wonderland, where she finds that the Mad Hatter is acting madder than usual and wants to discover the truth about his family. Alice then travels through time (with the "Chronosphere"), comes across friends and enemies at different points of their lives, and embarks on a race to save the Hatter before time runs out.

The film premiered in London on May 10, 2016, and was theatrically released on May 27, 2016, by Walt Disney Studios Motion Pictures. The film received generally negative reviews from critics, who praised its visuals but criticized its story. It was also a box-office bomb, grossing roughly $299.5 million against a production budget of $170 million.

Plot

Alice Kingsleigh has spent the past three years following her father's footsteps and sailing the high seas. Upon her return to London from China, she learns that her ex-fiancé, Hamish Ascot, has taken over his deceased father's company and plans to have Alice sign over her father's ship in exchange for her family home.  Alice follows a butterfly she recognizes as Absolem, who was previously a caterpillar, and returns to Wonderland through a mirror. Alice is greeted by the White Queen, the White Rabbit, the Tweedles, the Dormouse, the March Hare, the Bloodhound and the Cheshire Cat. They inform her that the Mad Hatter is acting madder than usual because his family is missing.

Alice tries to console him, but he remains certain that his family survived the attack of the Jabberwocky. The White Queen, believing that finding the Hatter's family is the only way to restore his health, sends Alice to consult Time and convince him to save the Hatter's family in the past. The White Queen warns Alice that history will be destroyed if a person's past and present selves meet. Upon entering the Castle of Eternity, Alice finds the Chronosphere, an object that controls all of time in Wonderland. After Time tells Alice that altering the past is impossible, she steals the Chronosphere and travels back in time, shortly after finding the exiled Red Queen in Time's care. The Red Queen orders Time to pursue Alice, who accidentally travels to the Red Queen's coronation. There, a younger Mad Hatter mocks the Red Queen when the royal crown does not fit her abnormal head. When her crown breaks, the Red Queen throws a tantrum that causes her head to swell. Her father deems her unfit to rule and passes the title of queen to her younger sister, the White Queen.

Alice learns of an event in both the Queens' pasts that causes friction between the two, and she travels back in time again, hoping to change the Red Queen's character and stop the Jabberwocky from killing the Hatter's family. The young White Queen steals a tart from her mother and leaves the crumbs by her red sister's bed. When confronted by their mother, she lies and lets her sister take the blame, causing the red princess to run out of the castle. Alice sees her about to run into a clock being carried across the square; believing this to be the event that changes her head, she shoves the clock out of the way, but the red princess still falls and hits her head. Alice is confronted by a weakened Time, who berates her for putting all of time in danger. She runs into a nearby mirror back into the real world, where she wakes up in a mental hospital, diagnosed with female hysteria. With the help of her mother, she returns to Wonderland, where she travels to the Jabberwocky attack and discovers that the Hatter's family did not die, but were captured by the Red Queen's Red Knights.

Returning to the present, Alice discovers the Mad Hatter at the brink of death. After Alice tearfully says she believes him, the Hatter awakens and reforms back to his normal self. The Wonderlanders go to the Red Queen's castle and find the Hatter's family shrunk and trapped in an ant farm. The Red Queen apprehends them and steals the Chronosphere from Alice, taking her sister back to the day she lied about the tart to hide behind a door and listen to the scene. The White Queen whispers 'no' as her younger self denies stealing the tart and the Red Queen is so furious she burst through the door and screams 'liar' at the White princess. The red princess sees the Red Queen (herself) creating a time paradox, and first their faces and bodies rust before all of Wonderland rusts.

Using the Chronosphere, Alice and the Hatter race back to the present, where Alice runs for her life to place the Chronosphere back in its original place. Initially the rust outruns her but she is stopped with her hand just above the stand - sparks make the connection and the rust dissolves. The Mad Hatter reunites with his family, while the White Queen apologizes to her sister for lying, which is what the Red Queen wanted. Alice bids her friends farewell and returns to the real world where her mother refuses to turn Alice's ship over to Hamish, and the two set to travel the world on behalf of their own company.

Production

Development
The film was announced via Variety in December 2012. Bobin was first approached about the project while doing post-production work on Disney's Muppets Most Wanted. Of being asked, Bobin has said that "I just couldn't pass it up", as he has a passion for the works of Lewis Carroll as well as history in general. On January 21, 2014, the film was again retitled to Alice in Wonderland: Through the Looking Glass.

Casting
In July 2013, it was announced that Johnny Depp would return as the Hatter, with Mia Wasikowska's return confirmed the following November. In January 2014, Sacha Baron Cohen joined the cast to play Time. In May 2014, Rhys Ifans joined the cast to play Zanik Hightopp, the Mad Hatter's father. In developing the character of "Time", Bobin sought to avoid creating a "straight-up bad guy", noting that it would be "a bit dull", and also that the role in that universe already existed in the form of The Red Queen. Instead, Bobin sought to make Time a "Twit", further explaining that "There's no one better at playing the confident idiot trope than Sacha Baron Cohen", and adding that "it was very much with Sacha in mind". Additionally, Toby Jones and John Sessions were originally announced to voice Wilkins and Humpty Dumpty in the film, the roles were eventually given to Matt Vogel and Wally Wingert.

Filming
Principal photography began on August 4, 2014, at Shepperton Studios. In August 2014, filming took place in Gloucester Docks, which included the use of at least four historic ships: Kathleen and May, Irene, Excelsior, and the Earl of Pembroke, the last of which was renamed The Wonder for filming. Principal photography ended on October 31, 2014.

Music
The film's score was composed by Danny Elfman. The soundtrack was released on May 27, 2016, by Walt Disney Records. Pink recorded the song "Just Like Fire" for the film, and also covered Jefferson Airplane's "White Rabbit", only used in the film's promotional material.

Release
Alice Through the Looking Glass premiered in London on May 10, 2016, and was theatrically released on May 27, 2016, in the United States by Walt Disney Pictures.

Box office
Alice Through the Looking Glass grossed $77 million in the United States and Canada and $222.4 million in other territories for a worldwide total of $299.5 million, against a production budget of $170 million. The Hollywood Reporter estimated the film lost the studio around $70 million, when factoring together all expenses and revenues.

Alice Through the Looking Glass opened in the United States and Canada on May 27, 2016, alongside X-Men: Apocalypse, and was initially projected to gross $55–60 million from 3,763 theaters over its four-day Memorial Day opening weekend, but projections were continuously revised downwards due to poor word of mouth. It had the added benefit of playing in over 3,100 3D theaters, 380 IMAX screens, 77 premium large formats and 79 D-box locations. It made $1.5 million from Thursday previews (to the first film's $3.9 million) and just $9.7 million on its first day, compared to the $41 million opening Friday of its predecessor. Through its opening weekend, it earned $26.9 million, which when compared to its predecessor's $116 million opening is down 70%. While 3D represented 71% ($82 million) of the original film's opening gross, 3D constituted only 41% ($11 million) for this sequel, with 29% coming from traditional 2D shows, 11% from IMAX, and 1% from premium large formats. It was the studio's third production with a low Memorial Day opening after Tomorrowland in 2015 and Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time in 2010. During its first week, the film grossed $40.1 million. In its second weekend, the film grossed $11.3 million (a 55.1% drop), finishing 4th at the box office.

The film was released across 43 countries (72% of its total market place) the same weekend as the US, and was estimated to gross $80–100 million in its opening weekend. It faced competition from Warcraft and X-Men: Apocalypse. It ended up grossing $62.7 million, which is well below the projections of which $4.1 million came from IMAX shows. It had an opening weekend gross in Mexico ($4.5 million), Brazil ($4.1 million), and Russia ($3.9 million). In the United Kingdom and Ireland, it had an unsuccessful opening by grossing just £2.23 million ($3.1 million) during its opening weekend, a mere 21% of the first film's £10.56 million ($15.2 million) opening from 603 theaters. It debuted in second place behind X-Men: Apocalypse which was on its second weekend of play. In China, it had an opening day of an estimated $7.3 million and went on to score the second biggest Disney live-action (non-Marvel or Lucasfilm) opening ever with $26.6 million, behind only The Jungle Book. However, this was down from its $35–45 million projections. It debuted at the No. 1 spot among newly released film in Japan with $5.2 million and $4.1 million on Saturday and Sunday. By comparison, the first film opened with $14 million on its way to a $133.6 million a total.

Home media
Alice Through the Looking Glass was released on Blu-ray, DVD, Blu-ray 3D and digital download on October 18, 2016, by Walt Disney Studios Home Entertainment. It debuted at No. 2 in the Blu-ray Disc sales charts.

Reception
Rotten Tomatoes reports that  of  reviews are positive, and the average rating is . The website's critical consensus reads, "Alice Through the Looking Glass is just as visually impressive as its predecessor, but that isn't enough to cover for an underwhelming story that fails to live up to its classic characters."  Audiences polled by CinemaScore gave the film an average grade of "A−" on an A+ to F scale, the same grade earned by its predecessor, while those at PostTrak gave it an overall positive score of 79% and a "definite recommend" of 51%.

Stephen Holden of The New York Times wrote in his review, "What does all this have to do with Lewis Carroll? Hardly anything" and that overall, "It's just an excuse on which to hang two trite overbearing fables and one amusing one". Ty Burr of The Boston Globe gave the movie 1.5 out of 4 stars and called the film, "gaudy, loud, complacent, and vulgar." Stephen Whitty of New York Daily News called the film "hugely expensive and extravagantly stupid" and that, overall, the movie "is just one more silly Hollywood mashup, an innocent fantasy morphed into a noisy would-be blockbuster". Matt Zoller Seitz of RogerEbert.com was deeply critical of Alice Through the Looking Glass, calling it "junk rehashed from a movie that was itself a rehash of Lewis Carroll" and describing it as "the most offensive kind of film" due to its blockbuster tropes, lack of magic and wonder, and perceived sole purpose of financial gain.

Kyle Smith of New York Post gave the film a positive review: "The screenplay (by Linda Woolverton) isn't exactly heaving with brilliant ideas, but it works well enough as a blank canvas against which the special-effects team goes bonkers". Matthew Lickona of San Diego Reader said that while he found the visual effects to be "stupidly expensive" and the story familiar, he called it, "a solid kids’ movie in the old style".

title: Frans Lebu Raya

text:
Frans Lebu Raya (18 May 1960 – 19 December 2021) was an Indonesian politician who was the 8th Governor of East Nusa Tenggara between 2008 and 2018.

Early life
Raya was born on 18 May 1960 in Watoone village, a small village located on the island of Adonara in East Flores Regency, East Nusa Tenggara. He was the second son of a local peasant couple, Paulus Ola Samon and Ina Maria Wae Peka. Raya entered a local elementary school at his village at the age of four years old and completed his education at the elementary school in 1971 at the age of eleven.

Raya continued to pursue his education at the Palugodam Junior High School, a high school owned by Indonesian Democratic Party-linked political activist, Thomas Sili Mado Lamabelawa. The school was located ten kilometres away from his home village and Raya had to travel by foot alongside his friends. Raya ended his studies there three years later in 1974 and went to Kupang to study at the Kupang Higher Gymnasium until 1977.

Career as educator
From Kupang, Raya returned to his home village and became a teacher at a local junior high school until 1980. After that, Raya established a junior high school—Lamaholot Catholic Junior High School—and became its headmaster. A few years later, Raya left his position of headmaster and returned to  Kupang to pursue further education at the University of Nusa Cendana, the only university at that time in East Nusa Tenggara.

During his studies in the university, Raya became active in organizational and political activities. He was elected as the chairman of the university's senate in 1988 for a two-year term and led the Indonesian National University Student Movement's branch in Kupang. He graduated from the university with a doctorandus and started to teach at Widya Mandala Catholic University and Kupang Technical Academy. He also founded the Prosperous Community Foundation, which aimed at assisting the community in implementing projects in the health sector, especially nutrition improvement, community disease control, and HIV/AIDS.

Political career
Raya left his job as an educator to pursue a full-time career in politics. Raya became the chairman of the Indonesian Democratic Party's (PDIP) branch in Kupang in 1996. When the 27 July 1996 incident occurred in the same year, Raya sided with Megawati Sukarnoputri, as opposed to the government-backed Suryadi. After the political reformation that overthrew Suharto in 1998, Megawati formed the Indonesian Democratic Party of Struggle and Raya became the secretary of East Nusa Tenggara's branch of the party. During the first party congress that was held in early October 1998, Raya and the party branch's leader, Anton Haba, strongly supported Megawati's leadership as well as her nomination for presidency.

He was nominated as a candidate for the East Nusa Tenggara's Regional People's Representative Council (local parliament) in the 1999 Indonesian legislative election. Raya was elected to the council and became the council's deputy speaker. A year later, in 2000, Raya replaced Anton Haba as the party's leader in East Nusa Tenggara. He did not finish his term as deputy speaker, as in 2003 Raya became the running mate of Piet Alexander Tallo for his second term as governor against Viktor Laiskodat and Simon Hayon. Tallo and Raya narrowly defeated the pair with a margin of one vote in a parliamentary election on 19 June 2003. Tallo and Raya were installed as governor and deputy governor on 16 July 2003.

Although serving as deputy governor, in reality Raya handled much of the governor's duties, since Tallo's health condition had become worse towards the end of his term. Aside from his tasks as deputy governor, Raya was also active in the political party, being chosen to lead the 2005 PDI-P congress in Bali.

Governor of Nusa Tenggara

Election
In early 2008, while still serving as deputy governor, Raya was nominated as the governor by his party, PDI-P. Raya picked Esthon Foenay as his running mate. Raya won the election with 37,35% of the votes. After he was announced as the winner of the election, Raya immediately visited his opponents' residences as a sign of reconciliation, stating that his opponents were "assets that must be invited to work together to develop this area". Raya was installed as governor on 16 June 2008.

Towards the end of his second term, Raya decided to seek re-election. Although expecting that his deputy would become his running mate for a second term, Foenay decided to nominate himself as a governor amidst political pressures from his party. Feeling disheartened, Raya then chose Deputy Regent of Central Southern Timor Regency, Benny Alexander Litelnoni. Despite being political opponents in the upcoming election, Raya and Foenay continued to work together. Raya eventually won his re-election bid with 51.25% of the vote. Raya would serve for a total of ten years and one day until he was replaced by Robert Simbolon, who served in an acting capacity, on 17 July 2018.

Anggur Merah program
Raya's most popular program as governor was the Anggur Merah (translation: Red Wine) program. The program, whose acronymic title stands for Anggaran Untuk Rakyat Menuju Sejahtera (Budget for Underdeveloped Communities; literally Budget for People Towards Prosperity), was introduced on the occasion of the province's 52nd anniversary on 20 December 2010. The program, which was started in 2011, draws funds from local revenue, which amounted to 81.7 billion rupiahs. The funds were distributed to the 287 poorest villages in 287 districts. Each village that was designated for this program received 250 million. In order to ensure that the distributed funds were used correctly, Raya recruited 287 assistants to supervise the usage of the funds.

Raya's program continued to grow in size following his second term as governor. A year after his re-election, the number of villages that were designated as recipients under this program grew to 589 villages. Raya stated that he has planned so that every village received the funds this program a year before the end of his second term. The program eventually ended as expected in 2017 and the management of the Anggur Merah funds was handed over to local cooperatives in every village. His successor's administration continued to supervise the management of funds by involving provincial bureaucracy and local NGOs.

Death
Raya died at the Sanglah Hospital in Bali on 19 December 2021, at the age of 61. His body was brought to Kupang the day after and was laid at the governor's office for about an hour. His body was buried at the Adonara Cemetery in a military ceremony on 22 December.

Family
Raya was married to Lusia Adinda Du'a Nurak. The couple had two children, Maria Yubiliani Laetare Nurak and Karmelia Eleonoraputri Bengan Tokan.

title: Hirschengraben Tunnel

text:
The Hirschengraben Tunnel is a railway tunnel in the Swiss city of Zürich. The tunnel runs from the western approaches to Zürich Hauptbahnhof railway station, east under the station, the river Limmat and city centre before turning south and surfacing at Zürich Stadelhofen station. It includes a set of underground platforms at Zürich Hauptbahnhof, and carries twin standard gauge () tracks electrified at 15 kV AC 16,7 Hz using overhead catenary.

The tunnel was opened in 1989, and initially allowed trains to run through Zürich onto the Lake Zürich right bank line without reversal. The original routing of the right bank line, which departed from Zürich Hauptbahnhof station in a westerly direction before performing a clockwise 270 degrees turn via a viaduct over the Limmat and passing through Letten station and the Letten Tunnel to Stadelhofen, was closed after the opening of the Hirschengraben Tunnel. The following year, the Zürichberg Tunnel opened from a junction to the south of Stadelhofen to Stettbach station, thus allowing trains to run to and from points to the east and north of Zurich without reversal.

At Zürich Hauptbahnhof, the tunnel serves a pair of underground island platforms, with four platform tracks, numbered as Hauptbahnhof tracks 41 to 44 but sometimes referred to as Museumstrasse station. These platforms are linked to the station's other platforms and facilities, both underground and surface, by a complex of subways and shopping malls.

The tunnel is principally used by suburban trains of the Zürich S-Bahn, but occasional use is also made by postal trains, freight trains, and long-distance passenger trains.

In 2014, the routing via Hirschengraben and Zürichberg tunnels was supplemented by the Weinberg Tunnel, which links a further set of low-level platforms at Hauptbahnhof via an eastbound route to Oerlikon station, as part of the Durchmesserlinie Zürich. Unlike its 1990 equivalent, this routing is intended for use by long distance passenger trains as well as the S-Bahn.

1991 Train Fire
On April 16, 1991, an arsonist set fire in the rear car of a train travelling the tunnel to the Stadelhofen station.  It was seen by a station officer and the driver of a passing train but neither were able to reach the crew of the train on fire via radio.  After the train had entered the tunnel, a passenger noted the fire and pulled the emergency brake.  The driver was made aware of the fire but was unable to reach controllers via radio.  He exited the train and was able to contact controllers via telephone.

The passengers, who had remained calm despite the fire, were given instructions to evacuate the train and proceed on foot to the Stadelhofen station.  A second train had entered the tunnel from Stadelhofen and was stopped by a warning signal.  The driver of this train decided to back his train to Stadelhofen as smoke began to fill the tunnel.  The second train stopped to pick up passengers from the first train.  A power outage forced the evacuation of the second train and the passengers from both trains evacuated on foot to Stadelhofen.

There were no casualties from the fire.  The investigation following the fire revealed that there was inadequate lighting in the tunnel for evacuees to see a handrail on the wall meant to assist people walking out of the tunnels.  It was also found that in most cases the pictograms in the tunnel were not prominent enough to be noticed and, in one case, was open to misinterpretation.  The incident has been cited as a case of successful evacuation during a tunnel fire due to effective training of train crew and cooperation of passengers during an emergency.

title: Jerry Bresler (film producer)

text:
Jerry Bresler (Jerome S. Bresler: April 13, 1908 in Denver, Colorado – August 23, 1977 in Los Angeles)  was an American film producer. He won an Oscar in 1944 as co-producer for Heavenly Music (Best Short Subject, Two-reel)  and in 1945 for Stairway to Light (Best Short Subject, one-reel).

He began his film career as a production supervisor. In the late 1930s, he joined MGM as a unit manager and worked on the Dr. Kildare series and other films. After his success with short films (the two Academy Awards, and three other nominations), he began to work on features, producing such films as Richard Fleischer's movie The Vikings in 1958, Sam Peckinpah's Major Dundee (1965) and the James Bond spoof Casino Royale in 1967, and his final film, Pussycat, Pussycat, I Love You.

It was the post-production interference at Columbia Pictures on Major Dundee which for a time gave Bresler a reputation as a studio hatchet-man. The more complicated history of the production has become known over the years, and the editing of the film is seen as one part of that history.

In 1965, he was a member of the jury at the 15th Berlin International Film Festival.

title: Vijay Singh of Marwar

text:
Vijay Singh (6 November 1729 – 17 July 1793), was the Maharaja of the Kingdom of Marwar. He ruled 21 September 1752 – 31 January 1753, and September 1772 – 17 July 1793.

He succeeded following the death of his father Bakht Singh, on 21 September 1752. He recovered Ajmer for a brief period and seized Godwar (from Mewar) and Umerkot from the Sodha clan.

On 31 January 1753, he was deposed by his cousin Ram Singh. He reascended the gadi for the second time after the death of Ram Singh in 1772. The Marathas under Mahadaji Scindia took advantage of the instability in Marwar. Mahadaji's first invasion in Tunga was a failure but he was able to decisively defeat the Rajputs in Patan and Merta. The Rajputs were no match for the European armed and French trained sepoys under Benoit De Boigne, his European tactics were far superior to the traditional Indian warfare that the Rajputs followed.

Vijay Singh tried to push the Maratha marauders out but was defeated by Mahadaji Scindia. These defeats led to Marwar's bankruptcy and many internal rebellions by the Marwari nobles. Ultimately this led to Marwar accepting British suzerainty in 1818.

Death and succession
Vijay Singh wanted his grandson Man Singh to succeed him. But after Vijay Singh's death on 17 July 1793, a civil war once again started in Jodhpur between his sons and grandsons. Bhim Singh usurped the throne but could never consolidate his rule.

title: The Amazing Race 6 (Latin American season)

text:
The Amazing Race 6 (also known as The Amazing Race: Ecuador and The Amazing Race on Space 4) is the sixth season of the Latin American version of the American reality show The Amazing Race. As in seasons prior, the show consisted of 11 teams of different nationalities competing, though this season took place entirely in Ecuador. The program was broadcast throughout Latin America on cable network Space, and in Ecuador on TC Televisión. The prize for the winning team was US$100,000, which was less than the prize given in previous seasons.

The program was hosted once again by Toya Montoya, who was joined by Ecuadorian presenter Jaime Arellano. This is the first time in the worldwide history of the format that a season was presented by a pair of hosts, as opposed to a single presenter.

Brothers-in-law from Ecuador, Giovanni López and Juan Carlos Estrada were the winners of this season.

Production

Development and filming

At a press event on 28 July 2014, the theme of the season was revealed with the season set to solely film in Ecuador. Filming for this season began on 29 July 2014 and lasted between 25 and 30 days. None of the eliminated teams were present at the Finish Line.

Broadcast
The premiere of the new season aired in October 2014, airing in Latin America on Space, and in Ecuador on TC Televisión.

Cast
Casting for this season was held from 1 May to 10 July 2014 for Latin America. The cast was revealed on 28 July 2014, and consisted of teams from Ecuador, Venezuela, Argentina, Mexico, Colombia, and Chile. The cast included Calle 7 Ecuador winner Dina "la China" Muñoz, TC Televisión anchor Christian Altamirano, and doctor to celebrities Juan Carlos Estrada.

Future appearances
In 2021, Dina Muñoz competed on Por amor o por dinero on Telemundo.

Results
The following teams participated in the season, with their relationships at the time of filming. Note that this table is not necessarily reflective of all content broadcast on television due to inclusion or exclusion of some data. Placements are listed in finishing order:

Key
A  team placement indicates that the team was eliminated.
A  indicates that the team decided to use the Express Pass on that leg. A  indicates the team had previously been given the second Express Pass and used it on that leg.
A  team placement indicates that the team came in last on a non-elimination leg.
An  team placement indicates that the team had to perform a Speed Bump in the next leg.
A  or a  indicates that the team chose to use one of the two U-Turns in a Double U-Turn;  or  indicates the team who received it;  indicates that the team was U-Turned, but they used the second U-Turn on another team;  around a leg number indicates a leg where the U-Turn was available but not used.
An underlined leg number indicates that there was no mandatory rest period at the Pit Stop and all teams were ordered to continue racing, except for the last team to arrive who were both eliminated. The first place team was still awarded a prize for those legs.

Notes

^ Stefanía & Felipe and Martín & Jenny initially arrived 1st and 2nd, respectively, but each team were issued 30-minute penalties for not washing the wool in the marked area during the Roadblock as the clue has specified. Their placements were dropped to 4th and 5th place, respectively.
 Carlos & Orlando were issued a 1-hour penalty for interfering with the model during the Armar Detour. However, since they arrived at the Pit Stop last, they were eliminated without the 1-hour penalty being applied.
 Audi & David elected to withdraw from the competition at the start of Leg 3 due to an injury Audi sustained at the Roadblock in Leg 1. While Audi was still hospitalised, Toya visited them to inform them of their elimination.
 Juan & Cecilia used the Express Pass given to them by Stefanía & Felipe to bypass the Detour on Leg 4.
 Juan & Cecilia initially arrived 2nd, but were issued a 15-minute penalty as they ignored the instructions in their clue and released their taxi at the U-Turn location. This did not affect their placement.
 Sonia & Gabriel did not complete the other Detour as a result of being U-Turned and were issued a 2-hour penalty that was set to be applied at the Pit Stop. However, as they arrived at the Pit Stop last and were notified that it was a non-elimination leg, the 2-hour penalty was instead applied to their starting time in Leg 6.
 Stefanía & Felipe used their Express Pass to bypass the second Roadblock on Leg 6. Before using the Express Pass, Stefanía elected to perform the Roadblock, and this is reflected in the total Roadblock count.
 Martín & Jenny initially arrived 3rd, but they were issued a 30-minute penalty as they got on the bus after it had departed from the bus station, causing a safety hazard. Giovanni & Juan Carlos checked in during their penalty time, dropping Martín & Jenny to 4th.

Prizes
The prize for each leg is awarded to the first-place team for that leg. Unlike other versions of The Amazing Race, occasionally a prize for second-place was also awarded.

Leg 1 – Two Express Passes (Pases Directos) – an item that can be used to skip any one task of the team's choosing. The winning team keeps one for themselves but must relinquish the second to another team before the end of the fourth leg.

title: Roderic Barrett

text:
Roderic Barrett (1920–2000) was a British painter from Colchester, England.

Life

Roderic Barrett was accepted into the Central School of Art and Design in London at age 15. He studied there five years, until 1940, specializing in wood engraving under John Farleigh while William Roberts and Bernard Meninsky helped with his tuition. Over time, Barrett moved from engravings to oil paintings, which was his primary medium later in life.

A lifelong Socialist and pacifist, Barrett objected to military service during the Second World War. After the war, he returned to Colchester. In 1947, Barrett began teaching part-time at the Central School. In 1968, he moved on to tutor at the Royal Academy School, where he remained until his retirement in 1996. Barrett had a long association with the Colchester Art Society. He was a founding member in 1946 with Henry Collins, Lett Haines, John Nash, and Cedric Morris, who he succeeded as President.

Works
From 1939 to 1940, Barrett exhibited with the Society of Wood Engravers. He regularly showed with the Colchester Art Society after 1946, when he helped found it. In 1948, the Hilton Gallery, Cambridge, gave Barrett his first solo show, with many included engravings, drawings, and paintings on a Don Quixote theme.

In the spring of 1961, Motif, an art publication, ran an article on Barrett by Cecil Keeling, an admirer and fellow Colchester Art Society member. Among the illustrations published were Chairs and Men, Family of Chairs, Family Bike Ride, Ass and Man, and Fallen Chair. Some of these engraved images also appeared as oils over the years.

During the remaining 40 years of his life, Barrett’s pictures were included in a number of mixed exhibitions and solo shows. His first retrospective at The Minories, Colchester, in 1973 was one of a series. He also became the long-serving president of the Colchester Art Society in 1982. Barrett’s pictures from 1970 were a frequent feature of the Summer Exhibition at the Royal Academy. He had begun to teach part-time in the Academy Schools.

Since showing at the Beaux Arts gallery, London, in 1954, Barrett exhibited regularly, culminating in a show at the European parliament gallery, Strasbourg (1995), important retrospective exhibitions at the Barbican Centre and The Minories, Colchester (1996), and the Bradford Museum (2008). From 1993 to 1998, he was a trustee of the Colchester and District Visual Arts Trust; and was awarded an honorary doctorate by the University of Essex in 1997.

Barrett was an outspoken defender of what he called ‘“authentic” art. He had strong moral views, and he valued work and honesty. His work is held by the Victoria & Albert Museum and many provincial galleries. Barrett’s work was well summed up by Puttfarken when he wrote, Roderic Barrett“… was a painter of great emotional, as well as formal, power, of rich symbolic suggestiveness and, above all, of deep humanity.”

Family
Barrett’s great-grandfather was a nonconformist radical and Chartist. His grandfather was a Liberal and Congregationalist. His father was a Congregationalist, then a Quaker, a propagandist for the Labour Party, and pacifist, who was imprisoned as a conscientious objector during the First World War. When Barrett was ten, his mother died, contributing to his later melancholic disposition. He had three children: Jonathan, Kristin, and Mark.

Comments
In the words of his biographer David Buckman, ‘Barrett was one of the most distinctive artists working in Britain in the twentieth century … he is the opposite of the commercial painter of pretty pictures that fill a gap in the sitting room wall and convey their message in a glance’. Or as his friend Thomas Puttfarken wrote ‘[Barrett was] fundamentally resistant to, and suspicious of, the “isms” of modern and post-modern art since the 1960s, Roderic pursued his own way’.

Again, in Puttfarken’s view, ‘when Barrett switched from engravings to oils, he retained the mastery and precision of drawing associated with the former. In Barrett’s work, seemingly normal objects, such as chairs, tables, buckets and candles take on symbolic meanings, suggestions of myths, the subconscious, or of nightmares. What shines through the appearance of a domestic scene are the fears and anxieties, the slender hopes and the melancholia of the human condition’.

title: JHUD

text:
JHUD is the third studio album by American singer and actress Jennifer Hudson. It was released on September 23, 2014 by RCA Records as the follow-up to I Remember Me (2011). The album marks Hudson's first and only release through RCA following the closure of Arista and J Records.

The 1970s-inspired album has already spawned the Pharrell-produced single "I Can't Describe (The Way I Feel)" featuring T.I. and the Timbaland-produced "Walk It Out", for which she shot the music video in Chicago. On August 18, 2014, Hudson released the single, "Dangerous", via her Vevo and SoundCloud accounts. The single "It's Your World" featuring R. Kelly was nominated for a Grammy Award for Best R&B Performance.
In 2019, as a reaction to the documentary Surviving R. Kelly, Kelly's featured song, "It's Your World", was removed from all streaming and online versions and new vinyl and CD pressings of the album. However, the Japan only bonus track "Never Give It Up" replaced "It's Your World" on all streaming and online version of the album, as the tenth track.

The single "I Still Love You" was nominated for an MTV Video Music Award for Best Video with a Message and the album was named the "Best R&B/Soul Album" by iTunes.

Background
In March 2011, Hudson released her second album I Remember Me. As with her self-titled début, Hudson worked with many different producers and songwriters on the project, resulting in a "feel good album". Upon release, it debuted at number two on the US Billboard 200 chart, with first-week sales of 165,000 copies, and was eventually certified gold by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA), for shipping over 500,000 copies in the United States. While not as successful as previous releases, lead single "Where You At" became a top-ten hit on the Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs chart, though subsequent singles failed to chart or sell noticeably. After a short musical hiatus, in which she co-starred in the films The Three Stooges (2012), The Inevitable Defeat of Mister & Pete (2013), and Black Nativity (2013), Hudson returned to music recording in mid-2013. Heading for a different direction, Hudson consulted new producers to work with her on her third album: "It's different expressions of me as an artist, a girl, a music lover. Earlier in my career I was just a soloist singing other people's songs. Now I really want to be an artist. I want to lift the people up, have fun, create a moment. I have my own visions that I want to bring to life." On the developing process of her third album, she elaborated in November 2013: "I've been working with Pharrell Williams quite a bit on my album, and Timbaland as well. This whole project this time around is extremely different and every session felt like a party, like we was getting our jam on."

Critical reception

The album received a score of 68 out of 100 on Metacritic based on 6 critical reviews, indicating "generally favorable reviews". On behalf of Billboard, Elias Leight foreseeing, "the spare templates she uses here, which are heavy on rhythm and relatively empty otherwise, give her plenty of space to flex her powerful voice." Writing for AllMusic, Andy Kellman forecasting Hudson to be "in full-on diva mode" even though she "occasionally sounds disconnected from the material, but the singer, as powerful as ever, still leaves her indelible mark on everything".

Commercial performance
JHUD debuted at number 10 on the US Billboard 200 albums chart, selling 24,000 copies in its first week of release. It marked Hudson's lowest sales and chart debut for a studio set. Previously, her 2011 album, I Remember Me, tallied her smallest start with 165,000 copies." In addition, JHUD debuted at number two on the Top R&B/Hip Hop Albums chart, becoming her third consecutive album to do so. Commenting on the album's chart performance, Paul Grein from Yahoo! Music felt that its opening sales were "a disappointment, considering that her first two albums, [..] both debuted at number two." He found that "the main problem is that the singles from this album haven't done as well as the singles from Hudson's previous albums [...] None of the first three singles from the new album has cracked the top 20 on the R&B chart." As of December 2014, JHUD has sold 61,000 copies in the US.

title: Lutz von Padberg

text:
Lutz E. von Padberg (born 22 February 1950) is a German historian whose specialty is medieval history and in particular the Christianization of the Germanic peoples. He is an expert on Saint Boniface, having written biographies of the saint and studies of his veneration.

Biography
Born in Essen, von Padberg received his doctorate from the Westfälische Wilhelms-Universität in Münster in 1980. His habilitation from the University of Paderborn followed in 1993, where he taught until 1999 as Privatdozent. Since 1999 he is a professor of medieval history in Paderborn. From 1986 until 1999 he also taught as a visiting professor at the Katholieke Universiteit Leuven, and since 1986 he taught historical theology at the . Von Padberg retired from teaching in 2013.

Von Padberg's early publications were on theology and feminism as a theological challenge, and since then has published extensively on the work of Anglo-Saxon and other missionaries during the Christianization of the Germanic peoples. His Habilitationsschrift, Mission und Christianisierung, was published in 1995 by Franz Steiner Verlag, and is a synthesis of earlier research (especially by  and ) on the social life of the missionaries and the social consequences of their activities; Von Padberg was praised as profoundly knowledgeable on the matter, and his book as a very useful synthesis with "exciting" interpretations.

He is an expert on the life and work of Saint Boniface, and his Der Ragyndrudis-Codex des hl. Bonifatius (with ) is a comprehensive study of the Ragyndrudis Codex, a codex which occupies an important place in the veneration of the saint. In his 1996 monograph Studien zur Bonifatiusverehrung: Zur Geschichte des Codex Ragyndrudis und der Fuldaer Reliquien des Bonifatius von Padberg examines the so-called "protection hypothesis", the theory that the Ragyndrudis Codex was used by the saint to protect himself during his martyrdom in Dokkum in Friesland. He concludes that it is possible that this codex (with two other important codices which have also been saved for posterity and are held in Fulda) was indeed owned by the saint but that the physical evidence makes it unlikely that the "protection hypothesis", a recurring theme in images and vitae of the saint, is correct.

title: Ra-Ta Ta-Ta (Anna Abreu song)

text:
"Ra-Ta Ta-Ta" is a song by Finnish singer Anna Abreu from her fifth studio album, V (2014). Abreu co-wrote the song with Jonas Karlsson and Hank Solo, who also produced the track. "Ra-Ta Ta-Ta" is a Pop song with the Dance elements that Abreu has become famous for since the Now era of 2008. The song served as the album's lead single and was made available in Finland on April 1, 2014. It marked Abreu's first release under her new recording contract with Warner Bros. Records, and her first release since returning from hiatus after promotion for her Greatest Hits compilation album ended in early 2012.

Lyrical content
'Ra-Ta Ta-Ta' is a dance-pop song that deals with the 'comeback haters' who doubted the success of Abreu's return to music following her departure from RCA Records in 2012. Abreu refers to her return to music as her 'update 2.0' and states that she and her fans 'just wanna have a good time', while the bridge refers to 'music fill[ing] the air' before going into the rapid-fire 'ra-ta ta-ta' chorus.

Chart performance
"Ra-Ta Ta-Ta" debuted and peaked at number seventeen on the Finnish Top 20 Singles Chart, becoming her first lead single to miss the top ten. However, the song matched the success of her two previous lead singles on the Download Chart and Radio Airplay Chart, where it peaked at numbers six and four, respectively.

Music video
The music video for "Ra-Ta Ta-Ta" was directed by Hannu Aukia. The video was shot in a range of locations in and around Helsinki including a disused underground car park and an empty roller-rink. In it, Abreu is seen wearing a black leotard and leather jacket, dancing with her backing dancers in a range of locations. There are also several scenes where Abreu stands singing in a darkened room while covered in silver glitter. This video attracted attention for its similarity to videos by American singer Miley Cyrus, namely "Wrecking Ball". In both videos, the two females are seen smashing objects with a sledgehammer and Abreu also performs Cyrus' signature 'twerk' during the "Ra-Ta Ta-Ta" video. The video has by far become Abreu's most-watched on YouTube, having been viewed over a million times.

Live performances
Abreu performed "Ra-Ta Ta-Ta" live at the Hartwall Arena during the break at the 2014 Kanada-malja, in front of a crowd of 13,000 people. The song was also performed at a range of music festivals across Finland during the summer of 2014, and as part of Abreu's 2014 V Tour.

title: Mary Anne Burges

text:
Mary Anne Burges (6 December 1763 – 10 August 1813) was a Scottish writer who wrote a successful sequel to The Pilgrim's Progress.

Life
Burges was born in Edinburgh in 1763 to George and Anne Burges. Her father had distinguished himself at the Battle of Culloden by capturing the standard of Charles Edward Stewart and was later deputy paymaster in Gibraltar; he was in charge of the customs when she was born.

Burges was a gifted linguist familiar with five to seven European languages. Her particular interests were geology and botany. Her group of friends included Anne Elliot, Jean-André Deluc and the diarist Elizabeth Simcoe. She is said to have been a major contributor to Deluc's last book and she sketched her friend Elizabeth Simcoe, as well as illustrating her own botanical descriptions.

Sequel
She is known for anonymously publishing a sequel to John Bunyan's renowned allegorical work The Pilgrim's Progress. Her book, The Progress of the Pilgrim Good-Intent, in Jacobinical Times, has as its hero "Good-Intent", who according to the book's introduction he is the great, great grandson of John Bunyan's hero, "Christian". The book went through seven editions in English, two in Ireland and three in America by 1802, and established Burges as a professional and independent woman. She died in 1813 at her house in Ashfield in 1813.

An introduction by her elder brother, Sir James Lamb, 1st Baronet (born James Burges), to a later edition of her book revealed the identity of the book's author. In 1814 the book was reissued with John Bowdler for another edition.
