ANIMATION ANECDOTES

Animation Anecdotes #136
Clarence Nash Is Not Mel Blanc. In 1977 when I talked with him, Clarence Nash was not happy. "Everybody thinks Mel Blanc is Donald Duck! He's not. I'm Donald Duck. We've had some problems with people who say they're the 'original donald Duck' and we've even had some problems with them at the Disney Studio in the past. Every once in a while, we hear that I died and we get Christmas cards saying they're sorry I passed away during the year." Nash passed away in February 1985. When I was researching my book, "Who's Afraid of the Song of the South", I learned that Nash, who was an accomplished bird call imitator, did the bird whistles for Mr. Bluebird on Uncle Remus' shoulder.
There Is A Difference. When Mae Questel, the voice of Betty Boop and Olive Oyl, appeared on the Johnny Carson "Tonight Show" in 1968, Carson was fascinated that she also did animal voices in cartoons. He asked her, "How would you do a rhinoceros?" Mae responded with a straight face, "Male or female?" Carson was speechless.
Gulliver's Troubles. Max Flesicher had pitched an animated Popeye feature to Paramount as early as 1935 but Paramount was extremely budget-minded. They decided to test the waters with three two-reel Technicolor Popeye featurettes in1936 (Sindbad the Sailor), 1937 (Ali Baba's Forty Thieves), and 1939 (Aladdin and His Wonderful Lamp). In fact, the first pitch for Fleischer's "Gulliver's Travels" (1939) animated feature would have featured Popeye in the lead (and later a live action Bing Crosby taking the role of Gulliver was considered). One of the major challenges with the "Gulliver's Travels" feature was it was green-lit when the Fleischers were in the process of relocating to Florida and the staff was split between New York and Miami, with the Miami studio being unable to get the necessary help they needed when something like a camera broke down.
The Tolkien Battle. Lawyers representing Saul Zaentz's Fantasy Films and Tolkien's estate filed suit to prevent Rankin-Bass' The Return of the King (1980) from being televised, charging Rankin-Bass with copyright violations.
An angry Ralph Bakshi stated, "They're (Rankin-Bass) not going to stop us from doing The Lord of the Rings and they won't stop us from doing The Hobbit. Anyone who saw their version of The Hobbit know it has nothing to do with the quality and style of our feature. My life isn't going to be altered by what Rankin-Bass choses to do badly."
Jules Bass replied, "I liked Bakshi's version. There were some interesting and exciting sequences. But I don't see any problem or confusion with our doing The Return of the King. There were six versions of "A Christmas Carol' on the air last December (1979). People take each on its own terms. If Bakshi does a sequel in two or three years, it will just be his version."
The suit went to court but was settled "amicably" although no specifics were released. Rankin-Bass' The Return of the King aired May 1980. Orson Bean was the voice of both Bilbo and Frodo Baggins with John Huston doing the voice of Gandalf.
Dog Gone. President Franklin Roosevelt had a dog named "Fala" who was a favorite with the American public. Bob Clampett was preparing a cartoon that would feature the popular canine ("For He's A Jolly Good Fala") in 1945 when President Roosevelt died and the project was abandoned. Chuck Jones' cartoon, Fresh Airedale (1945) had to undergo some last minute emergency revisions as well to remodel the dog character to look less like "Fala".
Chuck Jones on June Foray. In 1995, animation director Chuck Jones told the press, "June Foray is not just a 'voice' which so many, many members of the 'voice-over' trade proudly and sadly are. June steps into a role with all the devotion of an Olivier or a Helen Hayes. She expends the necessary effort to find out not what character is but "who" she (or he) is… the most demanding of the acting art… the uniqueness of the particular individual."
Giving Disney the Business. "We're businessmen. Walt Disney's an artist. With us, the idea with shorts is to hit 'em and run. With us, Disney is more of a Rembrandt," stated Warner Bros. producer Leon Schlessinger in "Time" Magazine dated December 27, 1937.
The Origin of Joe Barbera. Jack Bogle, the artist who ghosted the "Felix the Cat" dailies from 1927-1931, claimed that he gave Joe Barbera his first job as an animator at the Van Bueren Studios at about fifteen dollars a week salary.
What Almost Happened. Animation Legend Joe Barbera's official studio biography in 1975 had two interesting quotes. Apparently, while working in New York, Barbera wrote a letter to Walt Disney requesting a job. Disney answered, writing he would interview Barbera on his next trip to New York. "He never did," said Barbera. "And in a way, I'm delighted he didn't. I probably would have become a devoted member of his staff and still be with Disney Studios today."
To me, another quote in that same authorized biography was equally interesting about what happened when Barbera was teamed with Bill Hanna at MGM and developed their first short. "We asked ourselves what would be a normal conflict between characters provoking comedy while retaining a basic situation from which we could continue to generate fresh plots and stories. We almost decided on a dog and a fox before we hit on the idea of using a cat and a mouse." That cat and mouse became Tom and Jerry.
The King Was a Girl. Cammie King's acting career only spanned four years when she was a child before chicken pox and her mother put an end to her cinematic dreams. She appeared in three films: "Gone With the Wind" (1939) as the ill-fated daughter of Rhett and Scarlett, "Blondie Meets the Boss" (1939) and "Bambi"(1942) as the voice of the doe Faline. Her stepfather was Herbert Kalmus (the co-creator of Technicolor) and her father-in-law from her second marriage (Judd Conlon) was a musical arranger for many Disney films including "Alice in Wonderland" (1951) and "Peter Pan" (1953). She told fans that she "peaked when I was five years old."

That cartoon by Jack Bogle of Felix the Cat is very like one drawn by Pat Sullivan in the 1920s on an envelope, reprinted in Vane Lindesay's "The Inked-In Image: A Social and Historical Survey of Australian Comic Art" (Melbourne, Heinemann, 1970). Sullivan was an Australian cartoonist who moved to New York and started an animation studio. Although he did not create or draw his studio's Felix the Cat animated cartoons, he liked to claim that he did, and he trained himself so he could whip off a quick sketch of Felix to demonstrate to his fans around the world that he was the Felix artist. Sullivan liked to take leisurely trips around the world, claiming that he drew all of the Felix animated cartoons personally, while his staff back in New York did the real work.

Fred, my great uncle was Jack Bogle and he always talked about how he was the real Felix artist but someone else would get the credit. I never understood this as a kid and thus thought it pretty unfair, but it never seemed to faze him. From what I knew of him he was a happy-go-lucky kind of guy with a fun-loving attitude about life. Over the years I have come to find out about his involvement in all sorts of important projects (e.g. Disney's Snow White) for which he will never be known for. But he will always be a star to me!

Do anything from "For He's A Jolly Good Fala" survive? Like storyboards or voice tracks?

Awright-
Loved the Fala story, Jim K.

Clarence Nash came to my school when I was in 5th or 6th grade, 1971 or 1972, and did a school assembly presentation. It was a Catholic grade school, St. Joseph's in Roseburg, Oregon and there was one classroom for every grade from 1st through 6th; not a big school in a small town. It was fascinating. He, of course, did Donald Duck, talked about working for Walt Disney and did some of the other voices he had done.

I was always under the impression that "Fresh Airedale" WAS "For He's a Jolly Good Fala", just re-worked a tad. Isn't the dog that gets saved at the end supposed to be Fala?
"For He's a Jolly Good Fala" must have been reworked considerably to turn it into "Fresh Airedale", since Fala was a very well-known black Scottish terrier, and airedales don't look much like Scottish terriers.
Veikko Suvanto
As Brandon Pierce correctly points out, the "Fala" dog in Chuck Jones's "Fresh Airedale" is the terrier that Shep (supposedly) saves at the end of the cartoon. The last-minute changes made to the cartoon involved changing the terrier into a national dog show winner instead of the president's dog (explaining his status as the nation's "No. 1 dog") and changing the dog's place of residence. As far as I know, no changes were made in the dog character itself (how much remodeling can you do in a black Scottish terrier, anyway?).
Also, "For He's a Jolly Good Fala" and "Fresh Airedale" were always two distinct cartoons, though a cartoon begun by Bob Clampett and finished by Chuck Jones would certainly be something to treasure!

Regarding Jim's first story, well, Daffy Duck, who Mel Blanc did get to voice and immortalize, became Warner's later black-feathered answer hgradually then ra;pidly in the mid-late 50s to Donald Duck in personality and luck department (actually, the early fifties's rabbit/duck hunting trilogy with Elmer and Bugs would also develop toward that but then Daffy was not yet just a bunch of yelling like in parts of "Duck Amuck" & "Showbiz Bugs". Fun fact. In 1974 my brother and I watched this (we were kids then and he unintentionally called Daffy Duck, Donald, since that's what Daffy was becoming..).
Walt Mitchell
I remember that Nash clip above! It was from the Disneyland Fantasyland episode entitled "A Day in the Life of Donald Duck." Donald is reading his fan mail and a writer complains that she can't understand a word he's saying! Insulted, Donald picks up the phone and tells his secretary to, "Send my voice in here!" She replies, "Your *voice*? Oh! You mean Clarence Nash! I'll send him right in!" Instantly, Clarence walks cheerily through the doorway. Almost immediaely, they get into an argument about Donald's speech impedimen!! Hilarious!
For several years, I had a little segment on Central New York radio on another man's program of old-time radio shows. I played rare recordings from my 78 rpm record collection. In December, 1984, I did an episode in which I played some early Donald Duck records in commemoration of Clarence Nash's 80th birthday, which I announced, of course. I sent him a copy of the broadcast. In January, I received a thrilling thank-you letter–a full page on Donald Duck 50th Anniversary stationery–hand written by Mr. Nash himself! It must have been one of the last letters he wrote, becuse I believe he died a month or less later! I was so glad to make that man happy! :-)!
Hi. Sorry if this is a bit off the Topic Trail, but I wasn't sure where to put this. There's this ebay auction for a very unusual Disney Courvoisier cel, ending tomorrow, Jan. 9, 2014. This is should be of interest to collectors and those interested in obscure corners of Disney history. The cel is from the late WW2 era Disney industrial training film, a of character called Shrink from Control and Prevention of Distortion in Arc Welding (1945). One of the odder Disney cels I've seen– and I've seen a lot. Here's the link: http://www.ebay.com/itm/Painting-on-Celluloid-from-Walt-Disney-Productions-/251416600461
(And it's going for under $200!) I wonder who animated him? (Since he only appears for about a minute, I'll bet it was basically a one-animator job.) I'm not sure why Disney would have sold cels from an industrial film (other than that it is visually interesting).. By the way, I have no financial connection to this seller. I think it is not getting much attention because the seller does not have the best of titles, and it is not listed under "Animation Art". I would plop in a bid myself, but do not have room for it in my collection. Just a little heads-up for Disney collectors, history fans, and other assorted lookie-loos. *<|:)

Truer in the social media age.
Truer words have never been spoken. I can remember as a young man hearing my pastor talk about what he does with anonymous letters. He ignores them. And now I get it. They are acts of cowardice written by someone who doesn't wish to be accountable for his own criticism (and such letters typically are critical). Such communiques are not written from love but from self-preservation. Their anonymity seems to be a mark against the character of the sender. How can they be trusted? Indeed, they are contemptible.
And of course in our social media age, opportunities for anonymous criticism abound. Anonymous blogs and twitter accounts are like drive-by bludgeons, mass-producing invective and criticism. They can be an assembly line of asinine, unaccountable commentary and critique. As Solomon warns, they exemplify the "one who speaks rashly like the thrusts of a sword" (Prov. 12:18).
The way of wisdom embraces critique, especially from trustworthy sources. If you know the character of the one giving the critique—if you know that they love you—you can trust that they are not speaking out of subversive ulterior motives. You can learn, and you can grow. You cannot have that kind of confidence in anonymous critique. An anonymous critique may possibly have some truth in it, but its shadowy source requires that it be viewed with wise skepticism.
What kind of "rebuke" is to be desired? The kind that is open—face to face, heart to heart. In fact, such reproof can be an expression of love. It's better to share such correctives than to hide them. Hard words are "faithful" precisely because they are coming from a "friend"—someone you know and whose character you trust, someone that you have confidence is without nefarious, unseen motives. You can rely on them to tell you what you need to hear, not flatter you with what you want to hear.
Anonymous critiques are shorn of this biblical wisdom, and they invite skepticism and contempt. Don't give anonymous critiques. Stand by your words. If you can't stand by them, then you have no business speaking or writing them. Learn from your critics—even those with bad motives. But be appropriately skeptical. Your bad-faith critics must be judiciously weighed, and they may miss as often as they hit.
As for your anonymous critics, Spurgeon is right. They are a "sort of assassin, who wears a mask, and stabs in the dark. Such a man is a fiend with a pen. If discovered, the wretch will be steeped in the blackest infamy." Hold them in due regard.
N.B. Ivan Mesa's quotation of Spurgeon sent me on a search for its source. That search led me to a happy discovery of a work by Spurgeon of which I was previously unaware, The Salt-Cellars: Being a Collection of Proverbs Together with Homely Notes Thereon. It's a two-volume collection of proverbs that Spurgeon amassed over decades of writing. Spurgeon explains that he loves these types of sayings because they are "salty." He explains that oftentimes "A line may strike where a discourse may miss" (1:vii).
In his commentary on these proverbs, Spurgeon also tries to show how they correspond with good biblical sense. In other words, he regularly makes biblical applications out of these sayings. Spurgeon explains, "I have therefore placed, not only moral precepts, but gospel instructions in the midst of these common maxims. Thus has the salt itself been salted" (1:vii).
Indeed it has. Take up and read!
C. H. Spurgeon, The Salt-Cellars: Being a Collection of Proverbs Together with Homely Notes Thereon, 2 vols. (London: Passmore and Alabaster, Paternoster Buildings, 1889).
It's also available for free from Google Books: Volume 1, Volume 2.

An Odious Mixture
The LoomBy Carl ZimmerJanuary 18, 2007 1:21 PM
Mark Twain once discovered to his horror that his story "The Jumping Frog of Calaveras County" had been hideously translated into French. He went so far as to publish the original story, the translation, and his own retranslation of the French back to English to show just how badly it had been abused. "I claim that I never put together such an odious mixture of bad grammar and delirium tremens in my life," he declared. I was reminded of Twain's experience when a reader drew my attention to a creationist attack published yeserday against an article I recently wrote for National Geographic. It is always a weirdly compelling experience to read such stuff. It's as if my words were dragged through some creationist machine and chopped up into...well, into something, although it's hard to quite see what it is. What is clear is that my article--which explored recent research into the evolution of complex traits--has really gotten creationists worked up. In November, Casey Luskin from the Discovery Institute, the House of Intelligent Design, wrote a sprawling attack full of confusion and misleading claims. For me at least, it reached a climax of absurdity when Luskin posed the question, "Was the Ford Pinto, with all its imperfections revealed in crash tests, not designed?" Now, the Internet makes it easy for anyone to publish something that they immediately regret typing. I've certainly done that a few times myself. But just Tuesday, Luskin approvingly quoted himself asking the Great Pinto Question. They're sticking to it, believe it or not. The next day came Answers in Genesis. Answers in Genesis is a more old-fashioned creationist organization than the Discovery Institute, the sort that claims that dinosaurs lived alongside people a couple thousand years ago. They've gone after me before, but the latest attack is unusual in its lurid intensity. The author is one "Dr. Mark Blais, Liberty University." Dr. Blais is a cipher. On the biology department web site, there is only a "Mark Blaise" listed, with no professional details. A search for either name along with Liberty University on Google scholar got me nowhere. What I do know is that Liberty University, run by Jerry Falwell, requires its biologists to be young-earth Creationists. (Any creationism-watchers recognize the name?) The shadowy Dr. Blais is here to tell you that my goal in writing my article was not to describe interesting new research published in the world's leading peer-reviewed biology journals, but instead "to take the concept of complexity and imply it is a result of the toolkit of nature rather than from the spoken Word of the Creator." Apparently, I did this by becoming a food stylist.
The subtleness with which this is packaged for public consumption rivals the restaurant and food industry. How delicious the food looks in the advertisement or on the commercial. Hours are spent to make the food appear pleasing to the sense of sight, that our sense of taste may be so stimulated as to cause us to go out and buy the product.
But beware of this elegantly prepared feast, dear reader! You may expect to bite into eternal truth--you know, "the truth of the origins of species, genetic diversity, and design in all living things in the book of Genesis," as Dr. Blais(e) puts it. Instead, your meal is spiked with qualifications and uncertainties. "How factual are statements that have words such as 'presumably,' 'may,' 'may have,' 'think,' 'kind of,' 'yet to determine,' and 'probably'?" asks Dr. Blais. I can only wonder what sort of research Dr. Blais got his Ph.D. in. Is it one in which scientists intepret new results with nary a "may," "may have" or "think"? In fact, that is what science--all science--is about: finding new evidence and pondering its significance, and then going out to find more evidence to test that pondering. The further Dr. Blais wades into the article, the more of his ignorance he reveals. He refers, for example, to "Craig Venter of Celera Genomics." Venter parted ways with Celera five years ago. I describe body-building genes shared by flies and humans in the article, which prompts Dr. Blais to write, "Zimmer has suggested the transition of fly larva to man with the only evidence being that we have nearly identical genes for some structures." News flash: we are not descended from fly larva, just as we are not descended from chimpanzees. Dr. Blais claims repeatedly that I don't describe how simple ancestors could evolve complex traits such as heads or multicellular bodies. In fact, I did. Genes can duplicate and then diverge, for example. Groups of genes can be switched on in different places in the body. But Dr. Blais doesn't even mention these processes. He also fails to mention the evidence that this occurred. The closest invertebrate relatives of vertebrates are headless, but the swollen tip of their nerve cord is built by genes that are related to the genes that build our heads in the same spaital pattern. That's what you'd expect if gene duplication and redeployment build the vertebrate head. After a while, things just get goofy. Dr. Blais quotes Neil Shubin, a paleontologist who discovered a transitional fish fossil called Tiktaalik with limb-like fins. "We knew that some fish in the Middle Devonian (375 million years ago) were experimenting with their fins in ways that would allow for the evolution of the weight bearing structure of tetrapod limbs." Shubin is speaking metaphorically here. A number of fossils of fish at the time show fins that had evolved into various limb-like anatomies. The process was like a series of experiments, many of which failed. But Dr. Blais seems to have gotten a picture in his head of fish in lab coats. "How do they know fish are capable of experimenting? What has science come to?" I can do no better than to quote the great Mark Twain in his outrage at his French translation: "I think it is the worst I ever saw; and yet the French are called a polished nation. If I had a boy that put sentences together as they do, I would polish him to some purpose." Update 1/18: A couple people have commented and emailed to me that Twain's retranslation was just a joke about chauvinism, a la Stephen Colbert. Any Twain scholars out there?

Tucked into an anonymous strip mall in the town of Umbertide in Italy, the Enoteca Wine Club is a hidden little jewel box of a wine shop and osteria.
it's a hidden little jewel box of a wine shop and osteria. It's casual enough that you can stop by for just a glass of wine and a simple meal, or if you are in the mood, some serious wine tasting and discussing.
The little town of Umbertide in Umbria, Italy has been trying to promote itself as a wine destination, and the "Enoteca Wine Club" restaurant and osteria is going a long way to making this a reality.
Patrick Piccioni is the sommelier and host. Antonella rules the tiny kitchen, and sometimes their son will help out serving dinners. Absolutely a family affair.
Our Enoteca Wine Club evenings have taken on a delicious routine: we walk in the door and Patrick just takes care of us. There is no dinner menu, so Patrick tells us the evening's offerings, we nod in full agreement and then discuss the wine pairing and tasting possibilities. It's a wonderful thing when you completely trust the kitchen and the wine pairings. The hardest decision is what to have for dessert.
This is light osteria style food: simple plates of different kinds of salumi, cheeses, vegetables and maybe a delicious pasta or two.
Last night, on our luscious salumi plate, there was an outstanding small round salume that had been cured with sagrantino wine, along with five or six other delicious salumi and prosciutto.
This was accompanied by a plate of local cheeses, including a fresh, raw sheep milk pecorino that was paired with a little honey which was everyone's favorite. Although the rosemary infused cheese was one of my favorites and Jeff, of course, loved the goat cheese.
Patrick paired this with the Bastianich "Vigne Orsone" Sauvignon Blanc. This Friulian wine is fresh and lively, with a pronounced floral flavor that makes it a perfect aperitivo choice for sampling salumi and cheeses.
This was followed by a grilled vegetable plate, with an absolutely stellar marinated eggplant rolled around a bit of cheese. There was a good deal of angling to see who was going to get seconds on the eggplant. Other nights we've gone there and jousted over who gets the last bite of roasted sweet onions or peppers. Another night we were served a simple braised artichoke finished with a drizzle of good olive oil. Everyone got into the scarpetta act: swabbing chunks of bread around in the artichoke bowl to make sure we got every last morsel.
With antipasto behind us, we opted to switch to red wine, so Patrick thought we might enjoy "Ebo Val de Cornia" a sangiovese, cabernet, merlot blend from Tuscany. Patrick was right; this inky dark purple wine has a lovely balance that makes it a delicious, easy sipping wine which paired nicely with the tangy marinated vegetables and a roast pork and pepper dish. We had a budding young oenophile with us who thought it would be very interesting to buy a case and taste it every year or so. I have to agree with Willow, it would be a tasty experiment to see how the tannins will soften and develop in this wine.
While others moved onto a selection of light desserts, there were a few of us who opted for Patrick's digestivo suggestion: Tajadea by Poli. A blend of 50% grappa and 50% distilled amaro type liquor, the star anise and orange peels flavor shine with just the right touch of bitterness from the cinchona bark, making this a very unique and light digestivo. Cinchona bark is used for making natural quinine. Jeff thought it was an easy going introduction to grappa, someone else at the table called it a "girly grappa", I thought we should buy a bottle and bring some home.
Between the very reasonable prices, Patrick's warm welcome and knowledge of wines, and Antonella's charming cooking, my only worry is that Enoteca Wine Club is going to become so popular we won't be able to get a seat!
If you find yourself in our corner of Umbria, let us know..maybe we can join you there, because any excuse to visit Patrick and Antonella works for us.
Judith Klinger is a culinary events producer, former Director of Operations for the International Association of Culinary Professionals. Judith and her husband, Jeff Albucher are the creators of Aroma Cucina, an Italian lifestyle blog. She is the author of Cooking Simply The Italian Way.
I am coming to stay with Gilly and Gordon Carey on 16th September.
Encouraged by the last question – can you deliver wine to an address in nearby Spedalicchio? If so, can I call you this evening or tomorrow to make arrangements with you?
The grappa 'Tajadea' by Poli sounds wonderful – and maybe you can suggest some light pudding wines?
Hope you may remember us vaguely! Friends of Tom and Ann Black.
We had delicious lunches with you and the Pecorino was to die for!
Coming over on May 24th and looking forward to purchasing more wine and other goodies.
We plan on eating and drinking at your establishment.

Which state's beaches are the most beautiful?
published on June 16, 2021byAuthor admin Comments Off on Which state's beaches are the most beautiful?
The beaches in the U.S. are a treasure trove of natural beauty.
Whether it's the sea, sand dunes, rocky beaches, or the seascape, these are the places where the world's most beautiful moments happen.
It's no wonder, then, that some of the country's most prominent brands are creating iconic images of the best of the coastal landscape, such as The Great Escape from Disney.
Here's a look at the most gorgeous spots in the country.
North Carolina North Carolina's beaches and parks are known for their diverse landscape, so it's no surprise that many of them feature stunning views.
Some of the most famous are: The Blue Ridge Mountains in Virginia and the Blue Ridge Parkway in North Carolina.
The Blue Mountains are the highest mountains in the world.
These peaks are often seen on vacation and provide breathtaking views of the surrounding countryside.
The North Carolina Mountains are known as the Blue Mountains because of their blue hue.
The area includes the Blue Mountain, Blue Ridge Mountain, Black Mountain, and Blue Mountain.
The Black Mountains are a collection of peaks, some of which are 4,000 feet high.
They are popular with tourists and the North Carolina Mountaineering Association, and have become a popular destination for mountain climbers and mountaineers.
The mountain peaks include Mount McKinley, Mount Wilson, and Mount Mitchell.
The state's highest peak is the Mount Rainier in Washington, D.C. Mount Rainy is the highest mountain in the United States, and is the subject of a documentary called The Biggest Mountain in the World.
Mount Adams, in the Washington National Forest, is the tallest peak in the state, and has become one of the national parks of the Rocky Mountains.
The most popular hiking trail in the North Carolinas is the Appalachian Trail, which travels through the Appalachian Mountains.
There are several popular hiking trails in the Blue, Green, and White Mountains.
A popular attraction in the White Mountains is the White Pass Trail, a 3,000-foot descent of the North Fork of the White River.
This is one of several popular fall days on the North Cascades.
The highest mountain, Mount St. Helens, in Washington State, is also a popular hiking destination.
The tallest waterfall in the Cascadia region is Mt.
Hood, which rises about 2,000 meters (7,200 feet).
The largest waterfall in Washington is the Mt.
Rainier, and there are numerous other waterfall and falls.
The Great Barrier Reef of Australia is the largest marine reserve in the Western Hemisphere, and attracts hundreds of tourists to the region each year.
The largest rock in the region, Mt.
McKinley is a UNESCO World Heritage Site, and the largest natural monument in North America is the St. Helena Monuments National Monument.
North Dakota The North Dakota coast is home to one of North America's most unique and beautiful natural areas.
Located in the heart of the Dakota Sioux reservation system, the Great Sioux Reservation, known as "The Great" in the Sioux language, is one mile (1.6 kilometers) from downtown Fargo, North Dakota.
The Grand Forks National Forest covers a portion of the Great Forks in North Dakota, with a population of about 200,000 people.
The park's name derives from the tribe's legendary leader, Grand Forz, who lived in the area during his time as the leader of the Sioux nation.
The land surrounding the park was first purchased in 1851 by the United Nations.
The region is home not only to North Dakota's largest city, Fargo, but also a number of smaller towns and villages along the banks of the Missouri River.
The Fargo area is known for its abundant wildlife, including bears, lynx, deer, and other animals.
The nearby area of Whitefish, Montana, has some of North Dakota s most beautiful lakes and streams, including Lake Minnetonka and Whitefish Bay.
In the summer, it is often difficult to find the North Dakota Rockies, the northern portion of which is covered with snow.
Visitors to the area are drawn to the mountains, lakes, and wildlife that live in the areas surrounding the Great Plains.
The world's tallest waterfall, Mount McKinly, is 6,000 to 8,000 metres (20,000 and 26,000 ft.) high, and it has been known to reach the height of 19,500 metres (70,000ft).
The Mount Rainiest in North Crescapes is Mount Rainusier in Montana, which is more than 10,000 years old.
This peak rises more than 8,600 metres (27,500 ft) above sea level.
The peak is known as Mount Rainum in the Black Hills of South Dakota, and many of the tallest trees in the western U.K. are found here.
The Mount Saint Helens in Washington National Park is the second highest peak in Washington state.
This park covers more than 1,100 square kilometres (410 square miles) and is home for wildlife,

I had the privilege of joining Johnny Bluestar and Kenneth Eade in a round table discussion on Johnny's radio program, Threshold Radio. Below is the description of the show on Johnny's website.
Johnny Bluestar on Threshold Radio:There are few people in the United States who have not been impacted by the 2015-2016 Presidential Campaigns. While their content has not gone unnoticed, attention by the public has been riveted by the success of two non-establishment political outsiders, Bernie Sanders and Donald Trump. Whatever you may think of their actual policies, they have pointed to the widespread corruption in government, a product of billionaire and corporate financing of electioneering; the campaigns, resulting in part, of the economic downfall of America through destructive trade agreements. They have also pointed out the fact that the popular vote may not really have anywhere near the power they expect, particularly after the Colorado public primaries. There have been many other aspects to these campaigns, not for their extreme contentiousness, name-calling and surrounding behavior in the rallies before and after recent debates. But with all this attention, do the actual policies proposed by the various candidates actually make sense- guiding America to real prosperity and a safer world. This program features a Round Table Discussion with Threshold Radio Host, Johnny Blue Star; Novelist/Attorney Kenneth Eade and Sarah Westall, Host and Producer of Business Game Changers on Conscious Business Radio- as they address the meat of proposals and policies and why, for the most part, they do not really solve problems connected with borders, citizen rights, economics, safety of our food, air, water and medicine and other grave national issues. The discussion focuses on issues like "The Wall," deportation of 11 million undocumented Mexicans, the ban on Muslims from entering the country and his one association with a topic central to Bernie Sanders' campaign, the free trade issues, the debate on health by Hillary Clinton and Bernie Sanders.

This week, he was among 40 Institute of Technical Education (ITE) graduates to be given the Lee Kuan Yew Award, an honour given to ITE students who have blazed a trail in their academic or co-curricular activities. The award crowns his recent achievements: Graduating from the ITE this year with a certificate in multimedia technology after bagging a perfect string of 'A' grades, and being the only ITE student selected for the first run of the NextGen Leadership Programme organised by the South East Community Development Council to groom future community leaders.
Just five years ago, the young man, now pursuing a diploma in Information Communication Technology at Singapore Polytechnic, dropped out from an ITE course in computer and engineering electronics course; after playing truant and failing two modules.
A television programme on an ITE graduate who made good was a turning point for him. He re-enrolled and has never looked back.
Besides the 40 ITE graduates given the Lee Kuan Yew Award at the ITE Student Achiever's Award Ceremony 2010 on Tuesday, 289 others received ITE Excellence awards for doing well in the arts, sports and co-curricular activities.
Fellow Lee Kuan Yew Award winner Mark Aaron Lee, 22, quit school at 14 to take care of his handicapped grandfather, but four years on, he enrolled in the ITE when he realised that education was a necessity.

LG showcases high-end camera for next flagship smartphone
LG Electronics Inc.'s invitation shows key features of the G4 smartphone, including an F1.8 aperture camera. (Photo courtesy of LG Electronics)
By Kang Yoon-seung
SEOUL (Yonhap) — South Korea's No. 2 tech giant LG Electronics Inc. said Tuesday its upcoming flagship smartphone, the G4, will have a high-powered camera that enables users to take clear and vivid photos in dark conditions.
The company, which earlier said the new smartphone will be showcased on April 29 in six major cities around the globe, revealed a teaser and invitation that showed "F1.8″ written around a camera covered with a leather case.
The invitation was an upgrade from the previous version, which only showed the leather background.
"(The F1.8) implies that the G4 is a smartphone that is capable of taking the most vivid picture even in dark environments," the company said in a statement.
Industry watchers said the capacity of the F1.8 aperture is equal to that of a digital single-lens reflex (DSLR) camera, adding that Samsung Electronics Co.'s Galaxy S6 and U.S. Apple Inc.'s iPhone 6 hold an aperture rate of 1.9 and 2.2.
A lower number indicates better performance in a dark environment.
LG also released one more video that promoted the "UX 4.0″ platform that will run on the G4, which provides users with better camera and schedule-management features.

Cheney vs. Edwards
This is a partial transcript from "The O'Reilly Factor," July 6, 2004 that has been edited for clarity.
Watch The O'Reilly Factor weeknights at 8 p.m. and 11 p.m. ET and listen to the Radio Factor!
BILL O'REILLY HOST: In the "Personal Story" segment tonight, there's no question that John Kerry's studied the match-up between John Edwards and Dick Cheney (search) before he made his vice presidential decision. And joining us now from Washington is Fox News political analyst Newt Gingrich, who is also evaluating these men. Newt's newest book is "Grant Comes East", the second in — I guess there's going to be a trilogy, right, Mr. Speaker...
NEWT GINGRICH, FOX NEWS POLITICAL ANALYST: It looks like. We are still arguing whether it's three or four, but...
O'REILLY: OK.
GINGRICH: ... it's somewhere in that zone.
O'REILLY: If any of you are a civil war buff, it's very interesting read. All right, now, Edwards is a good guy, right? I mean I think that was the smartest choice he could have made. We predicted it would happen.
GINGRICH: Yes, I'm not sure it was the smartest choice. I think somebody like Evan Bayh (search) from the Midwest would have been a better choice because Edwards you know was ranked fourth in liberalism in the Senate, where Kerry was ranked first in liberalism last year by The National Journal (search ). It's not much of a move towards the senator to go from number one in liberalism to number four.
In addition, I don't think Edwards can bring any southern state. I think it's very unlikely that he will carry North Carolina or South Carolina or any of the places you would hope for if you're the Democrats. But the Midwest really is I think in play and a Midwesterner Democrat I think might have done better for the ticket.
O'REILLY: But here's why they didn't do it in my opinion. The election is so polarized now. It's much more polarized than other elections in our lifetime I believe. And it — there are just a few people that's going to take to swing it. And you've got Florida, you've got Ohio, and you've got Pennsylvania. I think Kerry believes that Edwards is such a good campaigner and will attract women and younger people. And he stacks up well against Dick Cheney in debates and comparisons there that he thinks he's going to get independence over. I think that's the thinking here.
GINGRICH: Well that could be the thinking, but it strikes me if you have two lawyers on the ticket campaigning in favor of the right for trial lawyers to sue more often and you have two liberals on the ticket, that may make liberals happy and it may make trial lawyers happy but it's a pretty narrow base to try to run the country...
O'REILLY: But, do you really think most people are dialed into tort reform (search ) and liberalism or are they — you know and I point to Bill Clinton here. It just seems that image has become more and more important in American politics...
GINGRICH : Well but Bill, go back and look at Bill Clinton in 1992. He was a different Democrat. He wanted to end welfare as we knew it. He campaigned much more as a centrist and took on the liberal wing of the Democratic Party. He worked very hard and I think he would argue he worked pretty successfully to move the Democratic Party away from being a liberal party.
O'REILLY: All right. So what I am hearing...
O'REILLY: ... in your voice is that if you were running the campaign for the Bush/Cheney people, you would try to marginalize the Kerry/Edwards ticket as being way out of touch with America, way too far left?
GINGRICH: I wouldn't try to marginalize them. I'd try to say to the American people there's a very dramatic difference in what kind of judges they would choose, what kind of regulators they would choose, what kind of foreign policy they would follow, what kind of tax policy they would follow and that's a different — an honorable difference. They represent the liberal wing of American life, very aggressively and enthusiastically. And I think that you know before he decided to run for president, it was generally conceded that Edwards either couldn't be re-elected in North Carolina or would have a very, very hard campaign because he had been so liberal by North Carolina standards.
And I think that as you look at how they vote, if you look at what they speak about, these two guys represent the most liberal wing in American society. Only Howard Dean's stunning commitment to left wing pacifism made them ever look like they were moderates. And so that's not — you know I don't think it's polarizing to tell the truth about somebody.
GINGRICH: It's their voting record.
O'REILLY: But again style over substance is the name of the game these days in America. And I think that Edwards does bring energy and vibrance and to match him up against Dick Cheney, who comes across — I think Cheney's a very smart guy, by the way. I mean he's very smart. But he is not gregarious or outgoing. And I think that's what they're — the Democrats are going to say, look, you know we're just much more accessible.
GINGRICH: Well, let me put it to you this way, Bill. If politics is essentially a vaudeville act for entertainment, then Edwards may be a very good choice because he'll be more entertaining. If politics is the serious decision by adults about where their country is going to go, then Dick Cheney will be a dramatically better choice because...
O'REILLY: Yes, but what do you think it is Mr. Speaker?
GINGRICH: ... he's a much more serious person.
O'REILLY: What do you think it is?
GINGRICH: ... we won the contract with America arguing about big ideas. We didn't do it putting on a vaudeville show...
O'REILLY: You actually think a dopey movie like Michael Moore's grosses 60 million in two weeks and there's not a shred of truth to the whole thing...
O'REILLY: Come on, we're living in an age of hype here.
GINGRICH: No, we're living in an age of polarization where if you're a liberal who hates George W. Bush and you want to be reassured that it's better to be Jacques Chirac's close friend and to have a pro-French foreign policy, Michael Moore gave you the perfect evening. You go out, you get to eat popcorn and hate George Bush. I think that's a sign Michael Moore (search) is quite clever as a marketer...
GINGRICH: ... but my hunch is that very few people walk into a Michael Moore movie confused about how they're going to vote.
O'REILLY: No, that's true. Did you get your boycott France bumper sticker yet?
GINGRICH: No, I have not gotten one yet. Look, I think that Jacques Chirac may be the most anti-American president...
GINGRICH: ... France has had actually since...
GINGRICH: ... in the Vichy period.
O'REILLY: That's what my column is this week. And I give the examples. We just run them down.
All right, let's get back to the election here. Razor thin, Kerry will get a bump this week, go ahead. But it looks to me like George W. Bush is going to lay low until the last five weeks of the campaign to see how the Iraq situation goes, try to parallel the Saddam trial with his sprint at the end. I think that's the strategy. You're not going to hear much from the president this summer. Do you see it that way?
GINGRICH: Yes, I think the president understands that people can get very tired if you're in their face every day on television. And my guess is that they plan to start with the acceptance speech at the convention and then build from that point all the way to the election. And to some extent they would like to let Kerry and Edwards lay out their case first so that they can then in effect take it apart and design the campaign as a counterpoint.
I think it's not an irrational strategy and if the new Iraqi interim government really takes hold, if the economy continues to do better and if people look at the Saddam trial and ask themselves, was John Kerry really right today to say that we somehow would have been better off not to have fought that war, would we really have been better off in a world where Saddam was back in power as a dictator, I think the trial makes it very hard to argue...
O'REILLY: Yes, the trial is a good thing for the Bush administration, if all hell doesn't break loose over there. Last question real fast...
GINGRICH: That's right.
O'REILLY: The Republicans trotted out John McCain (search) today, saying — try to hit John Kerry with John McCain. I thought it was kind of dopey myself. What did you think?
GINGRICH: Well, I think that there's a big gap between John McCain and Edwards in terms of values. But it tells you a little bit about I think Kerry, that he's comfortable — he claims he would have been comfortable with either guy as vice president. McCain will I think come back to bite Kerry a little bit because Kerry overdid how much he wished McCain had been his vice presidential candidate. And that increased the value of McCain endorsing Bush.
O'REILLY: All right, one more thing real fast. Hillary, was she ever in the running for the vice president?
GINGRICH: Never, never. She never accepted. She intends to run for president in her own right at some point, probably in 2008 if Kerry loses.
O'REILLY: OK. Mr. Speaker, thanks very much. As always, we appreciate it.

Rye (genderQueer erotica)
Meet Sam Rosenthal and hear excerpts from Rye Shameless Grounds' new location!
Saturday April 6th, 2013; 7PM; 1901 Withnell; St Louis MO 63118
With three trans* identified characters relating polyamorously and negotiating BDSM scenes, author Sam Rosenthal takes on quite the challenge in representing erotic love and friendship in all of these forms. His first novel, Rye, doesn't just get us wet and hard, it educates about non-mainstream identities and practices. Many writers would move awkwardly between preaching and sexing, but Rosenthal manages to deftly weave new information into the narrative.
I expect that people with experiences in any of these communities will find the relationships and moments portrayed here to be evocative of some of their own. At the same time, those involved in one or two of these communities get a peek into the others and a sense of how the intersections of several identities can shift the dynamic. I recognized the discussions of exclusion vs. inclusion in queer spaces as well as the polyamory negotiations. My friend Andy, who was reading the book at the same time, felt a connection to the moments in which Matt tried to explain genderqueer to his son.
Rye's realism is its strength and its weakness. There was no question to me that I was reading what has happened, or could easily happen. I especially loved the sex scenes that are interrupted, renegotiated, and then resumed. These moments show how realistic and hot come together. An edgy waterplay scene clarified things that I have read about pushing someone's edge while honoring their limits. I've read and heard this stuff many times, but didn't understand it until having it shown to me in Rye.
This careful work to show the ins and outs of making non-traditional relationships and sex sustainable can grow tedious – it's hard getting through characters Matt and Rye's negotiations on the way to SexxCamp. As a reader, I found myself whining 'are we there yet' more than once. This is true for many other spots on the copious amount of dialogue, which often feels forced (this is not necessarily unrealistic – many communications practices that poly people use in conflict moments are somewhat scripted, nonviolent communication, for example).
The truth is, if you're looking for a steamy read, you'll find steamy spots in Rye, but the length and organization are that of a full-fledged novel. Unfortunately, the characters, while loveable, aren't as developed as they should be in a novel. Rye left me a little frustrated about who the characters were in addition to their gender identities and sexualities – their histories are painted in the broadest of strokes for us and for one another. Both Matt and the novel are astonishingly incurious about Rye's past relationship, which is affecting her connection with Matt.
One of Matt's (the first-person narrator) major issues is sorting out his relationship to masculinity and the legacy of patriarchy as a male-bodied person. This is a really difficult question and Rosenthal was brave to take it on. Andy commented on this, helping me to see Matt's position a little better:
[quote]"Connecting with masculinity is difficult as a genderqueer person. Matt's observations are right: masculinity is something so negative, full of abused power. I do connect with fatherhood so much more strongly than I ever anticipated. . . . Now that I realize I am fit for fatherhood, I feel like I have the entire world to offer my child. I can show him traditional fatherly things like a good work ethic and a thirst for continued self-education. I can show him non-traditional fatherly things like the value of nurturing a community and the environment. I still see myself more as a "parent" than as a "father", but the fatherly social construct has so much more to offer our relationship".[/quote]
I appreciate that Rye attacks the question of 'what are we going to do with masculinity.' But Matt's not a very credible character to do that. Matt gets away with a lot of sexism by identifying as genderqueer. He seems to think of his lovers, whose bodies are marked as feminine in various ways, solely in terms of how they fulfill his wishes and goals. When Rye reacts strongly to Matt's proposal of marriage, it takes a long time for him to understand why a genderqueer former lesbian might not be dying to marry a person with a bio-penis and who presents as a man. CHASING AMY! HELLO and DUH! Matt also shows a disturbing disregard for Rye's career and social network, expecting him to leave it all in order to fulfill his own dream for children and nuclear family.
Matt's character is growing and developing, and so it should be fine that he stumbles over fairly obvious queer realities. The problem is, is that this is a very didactic novel and most of the 'teaching moments' in this text come through Matt's words and deeds. He tells the reader the story of these communities and identities. He does this inside the narrative as well. He's in the process of editing a documentary on genderqueer. Matt's lack of understanding with Rye, along with the way he fetishizes Rain's intersex body makes me wonder why we should listen to him when he tells the queer community's stories. Matt, of any of the characters, has the most amount of access to the cisgendered, heteronormative world – why does he get to represent the genderqueer community via his documentary and via his place in the novel? Matt's role in Rye is unfortunately a realistic one in that those who have the most access to mainstream privilege are the ones telling the stories of queer and sexual minority communities. As a result, those communities develop around the wishes of those who need them least, rather than of those who need them the most.
This is such a fantastic representation of interactions that occur in queer communities, but for me it was best read in episodes. In this sense it reminded me of Alison Bechdel's Dykes to Watch Out For, as it draws out the experiences, practices, and dramas of urban queer communities. Despite my misgivings, I would recommend this book to people curious about how ethical monogamy or BDSM scenes might work. The 'pictures' of the interactions here are worth 1000 words in many self-help or relationship guides.

Q: Report number of modified files, per-directory Somehow related to this other question (actually, the opposite). I would like to get a report like this:
dir1 : 2 files modified, 3 deleted, 2 sub-dirs modified
dir2 : 7 files modified, 2 added, 7 deleted

Where dir1 and dir2 are direct children of the current directory. The report would not be recursive, just applied to the current directory.
Can git status provide such a report?

A: With git diff --name-status or git status --porcelain you can get a list of all files which have changed and how.  Then you can format it however you like.
git status --porcelain will give you a complete status regardless of whether the changes are indexed or not, just like git status.
git diff --name-status will act like normal git diff and only give you changes relative to the index.  Run an extra --staged to get the complete view.
Here's an example.
$ git st
On branch Kavorka
Changes to be committed:
  (use "git reset HEAD <file>..." to unstage)

    deleted:    META.json

Changes not staged for commit:
  (use "git add <file>..." to update what will be committed)
  (use "git checkout -- <file>..." to discard changes in working directory)

    modified:   lib/Method/Signatures.pm
    modified:   t/array_param.t
    modified:   t/examples/silly.t

Untracked files:
  (use "git add <file>..." to include in what will be committed)

    t/lib/Errors.pm

$ git diff --name-status
M   lib/Method/Signatures.pm
M   t/array_param.t
M   t/examples/silly.t

$ git diff --name-status --staged
D   META.json

$ git status --porcelain
D  META.json
 M lib/Method/Signatures.pm
 M t/array_param.t
 M t/examples/silly.t
?? t/lib/Errors.pm

A: Shell script
What follows isn't a full solution, but it's a start. A more efficient and robust approach would use awk instead of sed to compute the three counts in only one pass over the output of git status --porcelain.
#!/bin/sh

# git-status-perdir.sh
#
#      Reports the numbers of modified, added, and deleted files in each
#      subdirectory of the current directory

for f in *; do
    if [ -d "$f" ]; then                     # if f is a directory...
        out=$(git status --porcelain -- $f)
        mod=$(printf "$out" | grep -c '^ M') # count modified
        add=$(printf "$out" | grep -c '^A')  # count added
        del=$(printf "$out" | grep -c '^D')  # count deleted
        printf "%s : %d modified, %d added, %d deleted\n" \
            "$f" "$mod" "$add" "$del"
     fi
done

Toy example
# set things up
$ mkdir testgit
$ cd testgit/
$ git init

# create dir1, dir1/foo1.txt and dir1/bar1.txt
$ mkdir dir1
$ touch dir1/foo1.txt
$ touch dir1/bar1.txt

# stage all and commit
$ git add .
$ git commit -m "add foo1 and bar1"

# create and stage dir2 and dir2/foo2.txt
$ mkdir dir2
$ touch dir2/foo2.txt
$ git add test2/

# remove the (tracked) file dir1/foo1.txt
$ git rm dir1/foo1.txt

# modify dir1/bar1.txt
$ printf "Hello, world\n" > dir1/bar1.text

# run the script
$ sh git-status-perdir.sh
dir1 : 1 modified, 0 added, 1 deleted
dir2 : 0 modified, 1 added, 0 deleted

Tony Levin (King Crimson, John Lennon, Peter Gabriel)
Photo by Juergen Spachman from Tony Levin Com
By Thomas Semioli
A revered session bassist, sideman, band-member, composer, recording artist, blogger, and photographer, among other endeavors who prolifically doubles on the Chapman Stick: Tony Levin began his musical journey as a classical bassist and tuba player, has been a pillar in Peter Gabriel's various genre defying ensembles since 1978.

In addition to leading his own groundbreaking bands (Stick Men, Bruford Levin Upper Extremities), Tony was a member of King Crimson for their pioneering latter day studio albums Discipline, Beat, Three of a Perfect Pair, and Thrak and continues to tour with Fripp and company on various anniversary treks.
Dig Tony with King Crimson: https://youtu.be/FhKJgqxNDD8
You also know Tony from his outstanding work on over 500 albums with artists including John Lennon (Double Fantasy), Paul Simon (One Trick Pony) Robert Fripp (Exposure), Pink Floyd (A Momentary Lapse of Reason), Alice Cooper (Welcome to My Nightmare), Lou Reed (Berlin), Todd Rundgren, Seal, Anderson Bruford Wakeman Howe, and Carly Simon to name a few.
Tony is also renowned for his "funk fingers" which are modified drum sticks attached to his finger-tips which essentially pound the bass strings a la slap style.

The Turkic language family features a wealth of expressions of modality, with large inventories of items within individual languages and considerable cross-linguistic variation. Taking the hierarchy of scope between different modal classes and their link to neighboring categories as a starting point for a basic classification, the study focuses on the internal semantic subdivision of three major classes of modality together with representative formal expressions of the semantic classes from numerous modern and pre-modern Turkic languages. The evolution of particular forms and underlying abstract structure types and their dissemination throughout the Turkic languages are investigated as well as the major semantic changes that can be observed in diachrony. The paths of conventionalization identified within Turkic are compared against universal paths of grammaticalization documented in the linguistics literature.
This comprehensive synchronic and diachronic survey identifies the common basic parameters of Turkic modality systems, provides an insight into the intra- and cross-linguistic diversity, and offers new perspectives for further research into this hitherto little-studied domain.


The SENCER-ISE partnership between Fordham University and the Wildlife Conservation Society is featured on the CAISE (Center for Advancement of Informal Science Education) Perspectives blog. The partners discuss their collaboration on Project TRUE: Teens Researching Urban Ecology, which uses a tiered-mentorship model to introduce New York City high school students to urban ecology and increase the rate of students pursuing STEM majors by facilitating collaborations with college mentors already in STEM disciplines.

The Mass on a Spring Interactive provides the user with a richly-interactive environment for investigating the periodic motion of a mass on a spring. There are two springs having diferent spring constants and there are five different masses (1-kg, 2-kg, 3-kg, 4-kg, and an unknown mass) that can be hung from the spring. The stiffness of each spring and the amount of damping can be controlled by a slider. Energy bar charts display the various forms of energy as the mass vibrates up and down. Once the Start button is pressed, a plot of the mass's position and velocity as a function of time is plotted. Values of time, height, and velocity are displayed in separate fields. The simulation can be rewound by dragging a slider across the plot backwards in time. Values of time, height, and velocity are updated as the slider is dragged.
This activity was designed with the intent of being used by classroom teachers with their students.

Samsung just released the ultimate laptop for watching movies and TV. Here's why it beats the rest.
A great laptop is for more than just work. And your TV certainly shouldn't be your only source of entertainment at home anymore.
Thursday 28 October 2021 09:04
In fact, recent research by Ofcom found that over the past year, Brits' time spent watching online streaming services was up 50% from the year before, while previous studies have found that for a massive 43% of people, a laptop is their number one way to watch entertainment, compared to just 23% of people who prefer a traditional TV. The ultimate laptop should upgrade work and play.
Enter: the Samsung Galaxy Book Pro 360 5G. With its beautiful full HD Super AMOLED touchscreen display, a game-changing 360° hinge which makes watching your favourite shows easier than ever before, and the potential for lightning fast 5G, depending on your network connection, for smooth streaming wherever you are, this is one laptop that really does it all.
Here's why it's the perfect device for watching your favourite TV and movies...
Stunning screen quality to rival your TV
Need we say more than the fact that this comes from the creators of some of the worlds best TVs? To elaborate, this high-end device boasts a full HD Super AMOLED display (most laptops have a lesser LCD screen). In real terms, that means you'll get vivid colours, deep contrast, and intricate, true-to-life HD details, all with edge-to-edge viewing on a gloriously wide 15.6" touchscreen. It's the perfect way to never miss a piece of the action watching football on your favourite sports subscription service, or to lose yourself in every spectacular detail of the latest 4K-shot must-watch prestige drama.
Cinematic audio
Audio doesn't often get mentioned when talking about laptops. There's a simple reason for that: usually, it's not very good. The new Samsung Galaxy Book Pro 360 5G, however, will shatter your expectations – and do it in epic, multi-dimensional style. World-class sound from integrated AKG and Dolby Atmos technology creates a truly immersive cinematic experience, all directly from your laptop.
Not only is it ideal for watching movies and TV, but that same Dolby Atmos tech also has built-in AI for ambient noise cancelling - a hero feature when it comes to Microsoft Teams call, for example. An audio upgrade to work and play? Sounds great to us.
(Samsung UK)
Innovative ways to watch, thanks to its 360 design
This device will change everything you thought you knew about using a laptop. But arguably its biggest innovation comes in the form of its incredible 360° hinged design, which allows it to bend into two completely different configurations. Of course, you can use it in the standard laptop setup (we're fans of the Pro Keyboard with extra large, comfortable keys) – but then, simply bend the super thin laptop the opposite way and it will fold into a standing tent shape, perfect for watching videos. Like a tablet, use the touchscreen to control – but unlike a tablet, you won't need a stand. Easily watch anything on a coffee table, in the bedroom, in the kitchen or on a train. After just one use, you'll wonder how you ever watched Netflix on a traditional 'clamshell' shaped laptop.
Super fast streaming included
The next generation of mobile internet, 5G is the key to streaming movies and TV anywhere, anytime, at super fast speeds (depending on your network connection) – no WiFi connection needed. That means smooth streaming, low latency and no waiting around for the next episode to load. The Samsung Galaxy Book Pro 360 5G is Samsung's first ever laptop to launch with 5G already as standard – so all you have to do is watch and enjoy, wait-free. Whether you're streaming from free or the paid services you're subscribed to, like Disney+, BBC iPlayer, Sky Sports and Youtube, and no matter if you're at home, on your commute or in the great outdoors, you'll never miss a match or episode again.
All your favourite streaming apps from your phone
If you have an Android smartphone, these gadgets create a fully integrated ecosystem which works together in the smartest ways – for the simplest of experiences. One of those ways is that, as long as your phone is nearby, its 'Your Phone' feature allows you to view all the apps you have on your phone on the Samsung Galaxy Book Pro 360 – meaning that all of your favourite movie, TV and sports streaming apps you're used to using will automatically be viewable on your laptop, too. You'll feel right at home, and be able to pick up right where you left off. It all makes for less time scrolling, searching and setting up, and more time watching. Beyond accessing your apps on your laptop, this feature also allows you to use your laptop as your phone in other ways, too, such as to make calls and send messages.
The Samsung Galaxy Book Pro 360 5G is available now from £1349 from Samsung.com

Die Akademie Rudolph-Antoniana war eine frühneuzeitliche Ritterakademie in Wolfenbüttel, die am 18. Juli 1687 von den Brüdern Herzog Rudolf August (1627–1704) und Herzog Anton Ulrich (1633–1714) gegründet wurde. Bis zur Auflösung 1715 trugen sich 331 junge Herren mit ihrem Wappen in die Matrikel ein.

Die Studenten kamen nicht nur aus dem Fürstentum Braunschweig-Wolfenbüttel, zu dem die Akademie gehörte, sondern auch aus anderen deutschen Ländern und wurde auch von Ausländern genutzt, die hier Deutsch lernen wollten.

Unterrichtet wurden Theologie, Jura, Geschichte, Beredsamkeit, Mathematik und Mechanik, sowie die Sprachen Latein, Deutsch, Italienisch und Französisch. Neben dem eigentlichen Studium konnte man auch Englisch und Spanisch lernen. Zur ritterlichen Ausbildung gehörten Reiten, Schießen, Fechten und Tanzen.

Die Akademie war im Kleinen Schloss in Wolfenbüttel (am heutigen Schloßplatz Nr. 14) untergebracht. In direkter Nachbarschaft zum Schloss Wolfenbüttel und der berühmten Herzog August Bibliothek bestand Gelegenheit, das Leben am Hofe kennenzulernen, Bücher auszuleihen, aber auch Opern und Komödien zu besuchen und an Jagden im Harz und Elm teilzunehmen. Am 10. November 1712 übertrug Herzog Anton Ulrich das Akademiegebäude an Herzog Ferdinand Albrecht II. als erbliches Eigentum zur Residenz.

Gottfried Wilhelm Leibniz rühmte die hohe wissenschaftliche Qualifikation der Wolfenbütteler Professoren, wie z. B. die Mathematiker und Architekten Johann Balthasar Lauterbach (1663–1694) und Leonhard Christoph Sturm (1669–1719). Bekannte Schüler der Ritterakademie waren etwa der Baron Münchhausen und der Gelehrte Anton Wilhelm Amo, der erste bekannte Philosoph und Rechtswissenschaftler afrikanischer Herkunft in Deutschland.
