As a non-profit humanitarian organization funded solely by private donations, Animal Umbrella can use any donations that you provide. In addition there is always a pressing need for additional volunteer staff, foster homes, and people willing to adopt cats. Click one of the items listed below to find out more on how you can help us save homeless and feral cats!
Donate money to support Animal Umbrella.
Adopt one or more cats from Animal Umbrella.
Provide a foster home for abandoned and feral cats.
Become an Animal Umbrella volunteer.
How your contributions are put to good use to solve the pet overpopulation crisis.
By Annamarie Taylor Back to Top
Please remember that your contributions to Animal Umbrella are put to good use immediately and that our non-paid volunteers seek, rescue, spay/neuter many homeless cats - the number of which is only determined by the size and frequency of your donations. In December and in January several cats were spayed/neutered and were either adopted, are in foster homes or shelters, or if unadoptable, were returned to the original site and are being cared for.
Our efforts are only limited by our financial resources; with only a $18 per month contribution, in a year you can sponsor 5 cats, which would have produced 368 kittens. Our goal this year is to spay/neuter 1,000 cats. Every dollar you send us counts towards reducing pet overpopulation. As we lower the population, we will reduce the suffering of homeless cats.
Due to the increasing cat overpopulation crisis, we will place all our energies to spay/neuter more homeless cats and encourage pet owners to do this as well. We will educate people to be more sensitive towards animals and to keep them rather than abandon them. We will create more visibility in the media, schools and colleges to the plight of homeless cats and fund our shelter/sanctuary where we give a chance to many intelligent and sensitive animals which have only experienced neglect and suffering in their lives.
We make these goals our challenge, but we cannot do this alone. We need help from each and every one of you! This means to get involved by educating friends, relatives, neighbors and the occasional strangers who cross our lives. We also need you to alert us to cruelty and abuse cases so that we can intervene.
The success of any organization resides in its members' willingness to work as a team towards common goals to affect change. If each one of us works alone, it will not make as much impact as if we worked together. In the long run, the animals will receive less help and will be the losers. We can only do so much - will you help us do the rest?
Abandoned Cats Rescue Program.
Please help us save some of the many homeless cats and kittens languishing hungry, cold, sick and scared in the streets of Massachusetts during the long, bitter winter months. With your $75.00 donation, Animal Umbrella will rescue, spay/neuter, test, vaccinate and care for one of them until it is adopted - no matter it's handicap. Remember that Animal Umbrella is a no kill organization! The cats and kittens we rescue stay with us until we find them a home! Click here for information on where to send your donation.
The need to adopt cats
We realize the full extent of the suffering of abused, homeless cats. We can find them anywhere, trying to find food and shelter near people's homes, apartment buildings, restaurants, trash bins and anywhere else they can find a means to survive. When we rescue them they are usually thin from starvation, cold, sick and frightened.
Our hard working volunteers have been busy rescuing homeless cats and kittens but it seems it is never enough.
Some of the stories of cruelty are heartbreaking -some people behave as animals were non-living creatures, discarding them from cars or throwing kittens in trash bins or doing even worse. Those who survive even for a limited time, reproduce many litters to continue this legacy of suffering. Kittens born in the streets are considered feral and are not accepted by many shelters - none wants them but Animal Umbrella gives them a chance. Will you, by giving a deserving cat the home and attention that is so desperately needed?
Remembering a man and his cats
By Joanne Bruno
Arthur Carlson was a distinguished Navy veteran of World War II. He was a veteran of another kind of service, a service to animals. In this he was a life time enlistee in the unofficial and unheralded army of people who feed and care for the rejected, abandoned, neglected cats in his neighborhood. For years his front porch in Watertown was an open "soup kitchen" for these local strays.
Then a few years ago - in a story that is all too familiar-the cat population began to reach excessive numbers. With the help of one neighbor, Laurie Papalia, they would find homes for some of the kittens from some of the litters. But other neighbors started to make the typical complaints. Even the postman was disgruntled, insisting that Arthur move his mailbox from the porch to the fence near the sidewalk. With the developing rabies scare, he did not want go on Arthur's porch where a dining cat might suddenly turn vicious. (No need for concern ever materialized.).
Like so many others in his situation, Arthur made a search to find a humane organization to help him. But he did not want the cats to be destroyed. Could homes or new locations be found for at least some of the cats? He would ask, only to be assured that it would be nearly impossible. After all, the cats were feral and it would take a long time, if ever, to socialize them. Most humane organizations, he would discover, did not seem to have resources to deal with large numbers of feral cats. They would loan him available equipment. But he would have to do the trapping... and they would send a van by to take away the cats as they were trapped.
Undertaking such a project would have been very difficult for Arthur, physically and emotionally. His health was failing. And the idea of trapping them, knowing that he would be issuing a death sentence to each cat that walked into a trap was more than he could bear. It was too painful to imagine the terror and confusion they would experience being trapped, defenseless, carried off by strangers. And this would be the last thing they would experience in life... He just couldn't do this to the cats. He knew them, they had names, he watched many grow from kittens to adults, he fed them every day, he set up shelter for them under his porch, he cared about them, worried about their welfare.
Arthur realized he had been naive to assume the humane organizations he had supported with donations throughout his life would now reciprocate. The sheer numbers of unwanted cats was more overwhelming than he'd realized. Obviously if they had to destroy thousands of easily adoptable cats for lack of homes, there was little hope for ferals. Still, it was sad and deeply disappointing to know the only "help" humane societies could offer was something, which required an ultimate betrayal of the cats that had learned to trust and depend upon him. He did what many have done when faced with this dilemma. Nothing. In the meantime, the cats continued to breed, adding to the problem.
It was spring 1994. More kittens were born... Arthur and his neighbor, Laurie managed to socialize a litter. Once again, Laurie had a sign up "Free Kittens to Good Homes".
By chance a young woman, Jodi Farago noticed the sign. Jodi had been actively involved with cat rescue and trapping. She had worked with Animal Umbrella. Like most people involved in humane work, signs advertising free kittens immediately raises a red flag. Someone has a cat that needs to be spayed! Jodi lived in the area, not far from this house. She made a mental note of the address and intended to stop by the next day to make inquiries about the situation. And when she did, she got the story behind the kittens and Arthur Carlson's cat problem from Laurie. She was later introduced to Arthur, examined the cat situation and suggested an alternative solution - one that he had been hoping for, seemingly in vain, for a number of years.
Jodi contacted Animal Umbrella and discussed the situation. She was willing to do trapping but could use help. As fate would have it, a young man who also lived in the area, Dan Stems, had just recently worked through Animal Umbrella's program to spay/neuter several cats he had been caring for. Pleased and grateful with the services to the cats, he offered to help the organization in any way he could, including trapping. Good to his word, he was quite willing to help, and, as he was between jobs, he had extra time available. Working as an energetic, determined team, Jodi and Dan began the task in mid-June. By mid-September of that year they completed the project. There were thirty-one cats and kittens in all. All the adult and young adults, were spayed or neutered, inoculated and treated for any other veterinary need. Only one had to be euthanized due to severe injuries. Many of the younger cats and more "people friendly" cats were taken in by a number of people interested in helping the situation. Linda Robbins of Wayland who has been specializing in the care and adoption of kittens for a number of years took in all the kittens.
Arthur lived to see a positive resolution to a seemingly hopeless problem. But his health continued to decline and on February 5, 1996 this grand old man with a slow but winning smile died. Of course, not identified in his obituary was his most laudable quality: his unconditional love and dedicated care of the animal outcasts whose plight is too easily ignored by the larger society. In this, Arthur and the small "army" of people who perform a similar service of love will remain unsung heroes.
Through his illness and since his death, Laurie Papalia and a member of Animal Umbrella have been daily caring for Arthur's cats. There are a dozen remaining and these will be relocated shortly before his house is sold. If anyone reading this has an interest in taking one of these cats, please contact us and we'll discuss it. For certain, nothing would better please and honor Arthur Carlson. Back to Top
Make a little room in your heart.
By Linda Lachman Back to Top
If you want a truly rewarding experience, all you need is a little room in your heart and a little room in your home for there are really no other talents or capabilities required to temporarily foster kittens or cats, other than some spare love, time and a room! These poor animals, rescued from the streets by the incredibly persistent and talented trappers of Animal Umbrella, need just a little attention to become adoptable. Fostering is not an art or skill; all you need is the desire to help these animals get through tough times. Some times it can mean the difference between life and death for them, because the Animal Umbrella shelter may be temporarily full and unable to take the animal for a little while, so a foster home can be a momentary resting-place, instead of the end of the road.
Love is really the most important ingredient for any animal to become a trusting, loyal and wonderful pet, believe me, I have seen some "really wild" (read that actually: "really scared") animals turn around and be adoptable and adopted into good homes. And that is the greatest joy of being a foster home - giving these abandoned animals a second chance to have a caring home with a life of love and attention, rather than a horrible struggle on the streets until a terrible death. Most of the older animals about which Animal Umbrella gets calls, and manages to rescue in time, are former pets that were left behind by uncaring or ill-informed people, who mistakenly think that cats can live independently in the streets or woods, and survive. Most of these cats are friendly almost immediately, but some of them may have become frightened by their interaction with humans during their experiences while fighting to survive. However, with patience and kindness they are easily reminded of the good side of the human race! To me, saving and helping these older animals is really a duty we have to make up for their experiences with the bad side of the human race!
And a foster home can choose to take in the "really scared" ferals or the stray abandoned former pets, depending upon the time and kind of attention they want to give to the street cats of Massachusetts. I find that having a mix of ferals and strays is a good way to help the ferals get adapted, but any home with any space for even a few strays can be a major contribution to our feline friends.
It is unbelievably exciting when a cat that you have fostered is given to a new and permanent parent! All it needed was a little place to rest along the way to a better life, and it is fulfilling to know that you have made a small contribution to one little life. Of course, the good news has a double edge to it, as it is also very sad to lose each one of these sweet new friends. And, naturally, one always "wonders" how the cat is doing, and hoping that all is well for them in their new home.
Of course, there are many kittens that need fostering as well. For me, kittens are absolutely irresistible in any color, age and gender! Their innate instinct to play and to love means that even the most feral kittens can be made a sweet and ideal pet with enough time, patience and love.
Kittens are often a great deal more fun to foster than older cats, but they can also be a greater challenge. It is incredibly enriching to see a little kitten become adoptable, but many times kittens from the streets are sick and need to be treated with special care and feeding, so it is not the choice for someone who wants just a playful kitty to have for a little while. However, it is doubly rewarding to help a sick or very scared kitten become a healthy and loving adoptee.
And of course, the loving foster parent gets to name the cats and kittens most of the time as well, as it is important to address each of them by a name as part of preparing them for their life with humans. I'm not sure that Silver, Mercury, Midnight or Peanut will keep their names in their new homes, but I know I will always keep a special spot in my heart for each one of them. Each one is as different as their names and as precious to me as any of my own cats could ever be.
So, if you have a little extra spare room in your home, try to find a little spot in your heart and you'll always be glad that you did. I have been fostering cats for almost two years - some cats take more time than others to be domesticated do and so, of course, the greatest danger is that the foster cats become permanent residents and no longer foster cats! However, it is worth that "risk" to have the very unique and special pleasure of helping these wonderful animals - the cats no one else wants until they have just a little love and can then become someone else's special pet. Please call Animal Umbrella if you are interested and want to learn more about becoming a foster home. You'll never regret it!

A welcome to prospective volunteers.
As new friends and supporters join our organization we need to re-emphasize our mission as a humane organization. We differ in many ways from other humane organizations because our major focus is the rescuing of feral cats while other humane organizations either choose not to handle them or they destroy them once they are brought to their shelters. Please bear this in mind when deciding to whom to make a charitable contribution. Not only do we rescue feral cats but we provide medical care to them, we spay/neuter them, and we try to socialize and adopt out many of them through our extensive network. We encourage a humane solution as an alternative to destruction. It is important to remember that Animal Umbrella's work also saves non-feral homeless cats and kittens from the streets. Additionally, we strive to promote humane values through education not only about cats but animals in general. We encourage harmony between people, our environment and all living creatures. Please support our efforts to make our world a better living place. Contact us to learn more about becoming an Animal Umbrella volunteer.
By Annamarie Taylor
Do you ever wonder how you could support Animal Umbrella's programs more but cannot financially stretch your budget? Now there is a way! You can volunteer by doing fund raising activities in your community or get involved in one of our major revenue raising efforts to pay for our huge veterinarian bills (even at discounted rates). You get to meet a lot of people, create more awareness on humane issues, acquire a greater feeling of self-fulfillment and raise badly needed funds to save more animals! If each one of our supporters raised $200 a year - we could do so much more! Please contact us and let's discuss the opportunities.
Save as many as possible from the harsh life in the streets. Since our resources are limited, we encourage you to continue calling us so that we can increasingly work together and accomplish so much more.
Additionally, please call us if you know of irresponsible owners who let their animals breed indiscriminately - further compounding the overpopulation problem - so that we can work with them as well. Our challenge continues to be to educate people on the issue that animals are not a disposable commodity. They should never be thrown in the streets once they have been adopted and they should not be allowed to reproduce at will. I recently met a concerned animal lover whose neighbor has allowed her cat to reproduce 25 litters! We can assure you that the reproduction cycle for that cat is over now that we are involved! Please help us stop this continuing cycle of suffering by working with us on this important issue! Remember that spaying/neutering will save endless lives!
Priscilla Thompson – Dedicated Animal Lover
by Mary Lou Koback
Editorial Note: When death takes away the life of someone suddenly, it is always very sad. When that life is the one of a person who was very loved and worked so hard in her community to rescue may suffering animals, that loss is even more tragic.
Priscilla Thompson, the cofounder of the Mattapoisett Chapter of Animal Umbrella (the Headquarters of the organization are in Lynn), was killed in a terrible car accident. Priscilla was struck by a car, which hurled her through the window of a local store as her sister was watching in their car. She died a terrible death.
Mrs. Thompson was a member of the Animal Umbrella Board of Directors. Animal Umbrella wishes to express its deepest sympathy to her family, colleagues and friends. We greatly appreciate her work and devotion during all these years and we will sorely miss her.
We know that if all the cats she rescued could speak, they would voice their endless gratitude and deep sorrow for her loss. Mattapoisett's Chapter of Animal Umbrella, Inc. has lost a true friend and co-founder. Priscilla's compassion and understanding of animals were part of her life. Dogs, cats, bunnies, ducks, pigeons and people all came to her for help and her special love. If you needed it, Priscilla got it for you.
Since 1991, Priscilla serviced Animal Umbrella of Mattapoisett. She kept a barn on her property where, initially, cats and kittens were brought prior to surgery and adoption. Priscilla spent countless hours gathering wood for the wood stove in the barn to keep her charges warm in the winter and many a night would find her sleeping in the rocking chair holding her "babies" and feeding them every two hours. "Grandma" Priscilla (just one of her nicknames) would feed, potty train and do everything a mother cat would do for a newborn kitten. Her husband often commented he never knew what creature would be at the breakfast table with them or what sort of "lessons" they would be learning there.
Another of Priscilla's nicknames was Kitty Santa. She gave freely; if there was a need for a trap, food, medical care, supplies, etc. Priscilla found a way to get it and give it to the person and/or animal in need. She had an inherent trust of people, never requiring deposits on equipment or payment up front and most of the time she was rewarded with the thanks and dedication that she so deserved.
Priscilla and Mary Lou Koback (co-founders of Animal Umbrella of Mattapoisett) are responsible for the spaying/neutering and finding homes for over 3,000 cats and kittens.
Priscilla would recount with delight the many adventures that she and Mary Lou shared. There was the time when kittens had to be rescued from a locked garage. The owner of the property gave them permission to enter the garage with no keys. Undaunted Priscilla hoisted Mary Lou up and through a window. But once inside Mary Lou fell in the slippery grease on the floor of the garage and could not get up and Priscilla was too short to get up to the window and inside. So, using her "Yankee" ingenuity she found a piece of rope and threw it inside and tried to haul Mary Lou up, just like a hooked trout. After regaining her footing Mary Lou managed to get the two kittens and lower them to Priscilla's waiting arms.
Priscilla's dedication knew no bounds. Witness the time that she and Mary Lou spent 27 consecutive days trying to trap a cat who had escaped from his owner at a Vet's office after having its broken leg set. On the 27th day success came upon their trapping the cat not more than 1,000 yards from the Vet's office.
Fund raising, grant writing, begging, beseeching, all became a major part of Priscilla's world, all for the cause of the cats. Daybreak would find her and Mary Lou creeping through the brush - climbing in to sheds - crawling under garages to rescue their feline friends.
Timing being of the essence and patience a virtue, that's how Priscilla lived. She would wait for hours on end for a cat to come to her and her patience knew no bounds. The animals sensed this and many formed a special bond with her. She opened her home, her barn, and her property to many of the cats and kittens that were not adoptable or who refused to be adopted because they wanted to stay with her.
Priscilla's life on earth came to an end in a tragic accident on December 9, 1997. But we at Animal Umbrella, Inc. know that her spirit is still with us. Our love for her will never end and as Mary Lou and Priscilla's family look after her feline family the memories abound and the vow to continue her good work goes on. We can hear her voice echoing "come get your suppa'... now my pretty pretty baby". Back to Top

Synthesis of Benzyl Cyanide
Benzyl Cyanide [1]
In a 5000ml round-bottomed flask, fitted with a stopper holding a reflux condenser and separatory funnel, are placed 500 g. (10 moles) of powdered sodium cyanide (96-98 percent pure) and 450ml of water. The mixture is warmed on a water bath in order to dissolve most of the sodium cyanide, and then 1000g (8 moles) of benzyl chloride (bp 170-180°C)[3] mixed with 1000g of 95 percent alcohol is run in through the separatory funnel in the course of 30-45 minutes. The mixture is then heated under a reflux condenser on the steam bath for four hours, cooled and filtered with suction to remove most of the sodium chloride. It is well to wash the filtered salt with a small portion of alcohol in order to remove any benzyl cyanide which may have been mechanically held.
The flask is now fitted with a condenser, and as much alcohol as possible is distilled off on the steam bath. The residual liquid is cooled, filtered if necessary, and the layer of benzyl cyanide separated. This crude benzyl cyanide is now placed in a Claisen distilling flask and distilled under reduced pressure, the water and alcohol coming over first, and finally the cyanide (it is preferable to distill the last part of the solvents and the benzyl cyanide under vacuum). It is advantageous to use a fractionating column. The material is collected at 135-140°C at 38 mmHg. (115-120°C at 10 mmHg.). The yield is 740-830g. (80-90 per cent of the theoretical amount). It is preferable to wash the final product in order to remove foul-smelling benzyl isocyaide, and to significantly lengthen the shelf-life of the product. The once-distilled benzyl cyanide is shaken vigorously for five minutes with an equal volume of warm (60°C) 50 percent sulfuric acid, prepared by adding 275ml of concentrated sulfuric acid to 500 ml of water. The benzyl cyanide is separated and washed with an equal volume of saturated sodium bicarbonate solution followed by an equal volume of half-saturated sodium chloride solution. It is then dried and distilled under reduced pressure. The loss in the washings is negligible.
6 kilos of potassium cyanide are dissolved in water in an enameled stirring vessel fitted with reflux condenser. There is then added slowly a solution of 10 kilos of benzyl chloride[3] in an equal weight of alcohol. When all has been added, the mixture is heated for three to four hours at the boil. The liquid separates into two layers, the upper one reddish brown, contains the benzyl cyanide, the lower aqueous layer the alcohol and potassium chloride (which is precipitated as a crust on the walls of the vessel on cooling). The brown oily layer is washed several times with water and then distilled at ordinary pressure. Traces of alcohol first come over and the temperature then rises quickly to 195ºC. The residual liquor is now cooled somewhat and the benzyl cyanide distilled off in vacuo without fractionation. The crude benzyl cyanide so obtained is used for the next operation.

Have you ever thought to become a freelance writer?
I'm saying this because I had the intention to start a freelance writing career some years back.
In fact, within a very short time, I had got so many freelance writing jobs for beginners. It was the moment when I was able to get paid to write articles for my clients.
It was really a charming moment in my life as before that time, I was a bit skeptical whether I could make it happen or not.
You can also be a freelance writer, but to do this, you'll have to learn the steps well.
After learning the craft, the next thing is to implement all the things in your real-life online writing career.
So, in this blog post, I'll share with you how one can be a freelance writer.
The first thing to know!
I wanna make you remember one thing that is, I think, the fundamental of any profession that you choose. What's that? That's passion. Yes, to choose any profession out there, you'll need to check whether you have the passion for it or not.
To me, I had always a great interest in writing. For this, even though I left freelance writing as my career right now, I'm still writing for my blogs.
Read: How to make money online without paying anything?
I've seen that many people move for freelance writing only for making money. They don't have any passion for it. These kinds of people never stick to one thing as they lose their interest from time to time in doing so.
So, before reading my thorough guidelines about freelance writing, you should check whether you have the passion for it or not. If you see that you love writing, only then proceed further.
I hope that you have the passion for being a freelance writer, so you can continue your reading.
How to Become a Freelance Writer With No Experience?
So, you've heard that freelance writing is a wonderful profession and now you wanna learn how to start freelance writing!
Well, I can help you with this because I was an established freelance writer.
I'd started my career in this field many years back to support my blogging career. When I started seeing traction from my blog, I left the profession of freelance writing.
Step 1. Do you love writing?
First of all, learn about what freelance writing is. After learning about the subject matter well now is the time to ask you a question and this question is quite important.
The question is, do you love writing? This is the first question that you should ask yourself.
Tell me whether you love writing or not. If you wanna jump into the world of freelance writing just by seeing that many freelance writers are making a lot of money, then you don't love it.
On the other hand, if you really have the passion for writing, then you're most welcome to this profession.
Another freelancing field you can try!: How to become a virtual assistant?
"Jack of all trades, master of none" – so, you can never be good at all kinds of writings.
So, try to understand which types of writing attract you the most or which types of writing you can craft the best.
So, pick one or two of your favorite types of writing from the list.
Great! You've just selected your preferred type (s) of writing, right? Now is the time to learn how to write them well. Suppose that you love to write articles and blog posts. Then, start writing how to write exciting articles and blog posts for your clients.
So, before you get your feet wet on freelance writing, you should start learning how to deal with your favored type of writing.
Awesome, you've taken a lot of preparations for your writing career! In this part, you'll have to land almost all the freelance writing sites where you can create a freelance writer account.
So, visit the sites one by one and start creating your nice profile there. Follow all the rules and regulations of the platforms so that you don't violate any of their terms and conditions.
Browse different freelance writing jobs on the platforms on a regular basis and once you get some suitable jobs, you must apply for them as soon as possible. Write a personalized proposal for each and every job. So, avoid sending the same proposal template to every client (they'll hate you for sure if you do so!).
You should market your freelance writing services in different ways. This means that you shouldn't only keep yourself inside the freelance writing platforms. Rather share your writing services on your social media channels. Who knows some of your connections are gonna hire freelance writers for them soon!
Most freelance writers don't focus on this. As a result, they fail to offer their freelance writing services outside of some of their registered freelancing platforms.
You shouldn't do the same. Creating a website for showcasing your writing services will cost a little, but you'll get a lot of benefits from it. What can you do with your website?
Well, you can drive a ton of traffic to the website and from the traffic, you'll easily get many clients for your writing gigs. Note that to get much traffic to your website, you'll need to publish more and more exciting posts on it. Don't forget to market your posts for getting more traffic.
Also, you can see that I've added a widget of PeoplePerHour to the right side of my site so that my potential clients can connect with me on PPH.
Starting a freelance writer website can help you make money in several ways through blogging too.
Hope that you get more and more freelance writing jobs. Once you get some jobs, you should be very careful to meet the deadline given by your clients. Try to submit your writing tasks on time.
This is the best part for any freelance writer. Once your clients are happy with your writing, they're likely to pay you shortly. Keep making money freelance writing and lead a happy life with your kith and kin. Best of luck!
Check different types of writing.
Choose one or two types of writing on which you'll write for your clients.
Then learn how to write those types of writing well.
After learning, sign up on the major freelancing platforms.
Create a site for your freelance writing business so that you can showcase your writing services there.
Write posts on the site for bringing more and more organic, social, and referral traffic to let them know about your writing services.
Start utilizing the power of social media marketing, email marketing etc to bring some people to learn about your services.
Start applying for freelance writing jobs.
Write the things according to your clients' requirements.
So, these are the easy steps which you should follow one by one in order to be a successful freelance writer. I wish your great success.

The Easterly wind has been chopping into the surf most of the morning and although there's still 3-4ft of swell it's certainly no postcard. The wind is forecast to blow from the South-East which might clean the Southern end of the beach if the swing eventuates. For now, you'll need to put up with some chop on wave if you want to go surf. Gerry Lopez continued to charm the locals when he presented some brief stories of his life and shared insights into surfing. It was really quite special honor to share an audience with a humble legend that has lived life as an evolving adventure. His books sold out before the show even began but I'm looking forward to getting my copy and continuing the story. If you want to get yourself a copy, the Patagonia Manly store only has 100 on pre-order so get in quick.

Alvah Cecil Bessie (4 de junio de 1904 – 21 de julio de 1985) fue un novelista, periodista y guionista estadounidense. Sufrió prisión (diez meses) y fue incluido en la lista negra por los responsables de los estudios cinematográficos por pertenecer al grupo conocido como los Diez de Hollywood sospechosos de pertenecer al partido comunista.

Biografía

Formado en la Universidad de Columbia, combatió como voluntario en la Brigada Lincoln durante la Guerra Civil española, en las Brigadas Internacionales en defensa de la República Española. Tras su regreso escribió un libro acerca de su experiencia: Men in Battle.

Bessie escribió guiones para la Warner Brothers y otros estudios en la segunda mitad de la década de 1940. Fue nominado para un Premio de la Academia como mejor historia original por la película patriótica de la Warner Objetivo Birmania (1945).

Su carrera quedó detenida en 1947, al ser convocado por la Comisión de Actividades Antiamericanas (HUAC). Rehusó confirmar o desmentir su relación con el Partido Comunista de Estados Unidos y, en 1950, se convirtió en unos de los Diez de Hollywood al ingresar en prisión y ser incluido en las listas negras. Tras su puesta en libertad trabajó para en un club nocturno de San Francisco, encargándose de la iluminación y el sonido y con frecuencia presentando artistas.

En 1965 Bessie escribió un libro sobre su experiencia con la HUAC, Inquisition in Eden. En 1975 apareció Spain Again, la crónica de sus experiencias como coautor y actor en la película España otra vez, dirigida por Jaime Camino.

Su carrera como guionista quedó destruida por su inclusión en las listas negras y nunca regresó a Hollywood.  Al final de su vida, sin embargo, tuvo que ver con el proyecto de llevar su novela Bread and a Stone al cine en la película "Hard Traveling" (1986), protagonizada por J.E. Freeman y Ellen Geer.  El guion para la película fue escrito por uno de los dos hijos de Alvah, Dan Bessie, quien había desarrollado su carrera profesional en la industria cinematográfica.  Dan Bessie ha publicado alguno de los libros de su padre que habían quedado inéditos o trabajos dispersos, entre lo que destacan sus Spanish Civil War Notebooks (Cuadernos de la Guerra de España) (2001).

En su biografía familiar titulada Rare Birds: An American Family (University Press of Kentucky, 2001) su hijo Dan Bessie menciona que Alvah estaba emparentado con algunos empresarios de gran éxito: era suegro del conocido artista del póster de los años 1960 Wes Wilson, marido de Eva, hija de Alvah, y cuñado (por parte de su primera mujer, Mary) del famoso ejecutivo de la publicidad Leo Burnett.

Bessie falleció en Terra Linda, California a los 81 años.

La vida de Alvah Bessie es el hilo conductor de la película española Hollywood contra Franco (Oriol Porta, 2009).

BRENDAN RODGERS has warned Leigh Griffiths that his place in Celtic's team is on the line as the hitman sweats on a Champions League ban.
And Rodgers hopes Griffiths has learned his lesson after he was hit with a UEFA charge for 'provoking' Linfield fans by tying a Celtic scarf to a goalpost following the Hoops 2-0 win at Windsor Park.
The Celtic manager knows there are mitigating circumstances for Griffiths' full-time actions, as he was pelted with coins and had a Buckfast bottle thrown at him by the home support during the second round Champions League qualifier.
Griffiths' actions, however, have landed him in hot water with UEFA and he will discover his punishment tomorrow.
Celtic also received an improper conduct charge after having five players booked in the Belfast match – including Griffiths for complaining to Spanish referee Alejandro Hernandez after the bottle was lobbed at him.
Griffiths is an injury doubt with a calf strain for the return leg tonight and Rodgers has told him the consequences of a needless suspension could see him spend longer out of the side than he thinks.
Rodgers said: "I was surprised by the booking. How the game ended, on the pitch afterwards, the incident probably played a part in that.
"It's a lesson learned for him, it could mean that he misses a Champions League qualification game, which is a huge game for the club and it's a huge game for him if he wants to be available and play all the time.
"I had a chat with the group, reminding them that we play the game with a tactical discipline and I have no worries about the squad.
"I think you've seen in the team the respect and sporting behaviour in how they play, I don't really have to go into that too much.
"But no, I've had nothing to say to Leigh, only that there is a consequence, if that's what you do, and it may mean you miss games. And one thing we need to have on the field, mentally and tactically, is discipline.
Meanwhile, Emilio Izaguirre, above, has been linked with Saudi Arabian club Al-Faiha.
And Rodgers revealed the left-back is considering it, saying: "There is an offer that is with him and his agent. It's something for him to consider.

To Phillips, the green ball suggested a sour taste, while he expected the red to taste sweet. It turned out three-quarters of people associate the same colors with the same flavour or taste, and line the spoons up the same way.
Yes, we know that the smell of food can influence how we perceive its flavour, but as it turns out, in even greater ways than you can imagine.
Cue colour, sound and a jellyfish!
Kitchen Theory, a combined London restaurant and food lab, attempts to quantify the impact of these various sensory cues on our palate. In what seems like a fun experience or social experiment will yield important findings on subjects such as how to decrease sugar consumption, or why food on airlines tastes so poor.

How Will You Score On This Visual Narcissist Test?
How will YOU fare?

You're 100% Empath
Your life is unconsciously influenced by others' desires, wishes, thoughts, and moods. You have an endless imagination, inquisitive minds and ever-expanding knowledge.

12 Ridiculously Sexist Movie Scenes That Prove Hollywood Hates Women
Because even starring in a $150 million movie doesn't always equal respect...
Though 2015 has seen the arrival of one of cinema's all-time best female characters in Mad Max: Fury Road's Furiosa (Charlize Theron), it's apparent that Hollywood still has something of a woman problem. Even when a movie presents a strong or interesting female, there's a good chance she's going to end up ridiculously sexualised compared to any male counterpart (just look at Black Widow in the Avengers and Iron Man movies), and a film passing the Bechdel test (in which two women have a conversation which isn't about a man) is never guaranteed. From movies that deliberately poked at society's gender hang-ups to misguided sex scenes, awful messages for young girls and everything in between, these 12 scenes only further the belief by many feminists that Hollywood hates women and won't just treat them like what they really are: human beings.
12. Alice Eve's Gratuitous Strip Show - Star Trek Into Darkness
The Scene: Mid-conversation, Carol Marcus (Eve) tells Kirk (Chris Pine) to turn around, at which point she institutes a costume change. The conversation continues and Kirk can't resist but turn back around, catching a glimpse of Marcus in some fancy underwear, at which point she tells him to turn back around. Why It's Sexist: Because it's so ridiculously gratuitous, the shot perfectly framed for maximum body coverage, and there's not a single need for it beyond having an underwear shot to throw in the trailer. It's a cynical way to pander to audiences, and totally needless in the context of the scene. The script literally takes a break in the dialogue to shoehorn this painfully contrived aside in, and it's to the detriment of an otherwise pretty solid action flick. The backlash from the scene was severe enough that the film's writer, Damon Lindelof, took to Twitter to apologise to viewers, saying, "we should have done a better job of not being gratuitous in our representation of a barely clothed actress."

The Thyroid
Hypothyroidism is decreased production of thyroid hormone.
Hypothyroidism in the newborn may occur if there is a structural problem with the thyroid gland.
Symptoms may include delayed growth and development over time.
The diagnosis is based on newborn screening tests, thyroid function tests, and scanning tests.
Treatment includes giving thyroid hormone replacement.
(See also Overview of General Problems in Newborns, Hypothyroidism in adults, and Hypothyroidism in Infants and Children.)
The thyroid gland secretes thyroid hormone. Thyroid hormone controls the speed of the body's metabolism, including how fast the heart beats and how the body regulates temperature. If the thyroid gland does not produce enough thyroid hormone, these functions slow down.
Hypothyroidism that is present at birth is called congenital hypothyroidism. Congenital hypothyroidism occurs in about 1 in 2,000 to 3,000 births. Most cases occur spontaneously, but about 10 to 20% are inherited.
The most common cause of hypothyroidism in the newborn is
Complete absence of the thyroid gland, underdevelopment of the thyroid gland, or development in the wrong place
Less commonly, the thyroid gland is present but does not produce normal amounts of thyroid hormones. In certain developing countries, hypothyroidism occurs when the mother has an iodine deficiency. Rarely, certain antibodies of the mother or drugs that cause enlargement of the thyroid gland or antithyroid drugs taken by the mother cross the placenta and cause temporary hypothyroidism in the newborn. In another rare cause, the pituitary gland is abnormally formed and fails to stimulate the thyroid gland to produce thyroid hormones (central hypothyroidism).
Initially, the newborn may have no symptoms of hypothyroidism. Later, if the underlying cause of hypothyroidism is not identified and hypothyroidism remains undiagnosed or untreated, development of the central nervous system is slowed. The newborn may become sluggish (lethargic) and have a poor appetite, yellowing of the skin (jaundice), low muscle tone, constipation, large fontanelles, a hoarse cry, low heart rate, and a bulging of the abdominal contents at the bellybutton (called an umbilical hernia). If the newborn has an enlarged thyroid gland (congenital goiter), the gland may press against the windpipe and interfere with breathing at birth. A delay in the diagnosis and treatment of severe hypothyroidism causes intellectual disability and short stature. Eventually, the infant may develop dry, cool, mottled skin, coarse facial features (such as a flat, broad nasal bridge and a puffy face), and a slightly open mouth with an enlarged tongue.
Newborn screening test
Because early treatment can prevent intellectual disability, all newborns receive a routine screening blood test in the hospital after birth to evaluate thyroid function.
If the result of the screening test is positive, thyroid function tests, which are blood tests, are done. In affected newborns, the blood test shows an elevated level of thyroid-stimulating hormone and usually a lower level of thyroid hormone.
After hypothyroidism of the newborn is diagnosed, doctors do imaging tests to evaluate the size and location of the thyroid gland. These tests include radionuclide scanning or ultrasonography.
Doctors do magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) of the brain and pituitary gland in children who have central hypothyroidism to rule out problems in the brain.
Most infants who are treated have normal movement control and intellectual development.
Even when treated promptly, severe congenital hypothyroidism may still cause subtle developmental problems and hearing loss. Hearing loss may be so mild that it is not detected during the routine newborn screening but it may still interfere with language learning. To detect subtle hearing loss, infants are tested again when they are older.
Thyroid hormone replacement
Most newborns with hypothyroidism are given the synthetic thyroid hormone levothyroxine by mouth. It should not be given simultaneously with soy formula, or iron or calcium supplements because these substances can decrease the amount of levothyroxine that is absorbed. Most children who have congenital hypothyroidism need to take thyroid hormone replacement for their entire life. However, some children, usually those who have not required a dose increase after infancy, may be able to stop treatment after they are about 3 years of age. Treatment of hypothyroidism is directed by a doctor who specializes in treating children with problems of the endocrine system (called a pediatric endocrinologist).

Review MAN OF LA MANCHA at the London Coliseum
By Phil Willmott Thursday, May 2 2019, 13:15 - Reviews
The annual star led musical at the London Coliseum has quickly become a tradition and a treat ensuring busy sales at a venue which otherwise splutters intermittently to life with short runs of opera and ballet for most of the year. Currently in residence for a month is Kelsey Grammer in the title role of 1965's Tony award winning musical, MAN OF LA MANCHA.
share on twitter share on google+ share on facebook share on whatsapp
We've see Grammer relatively recently in BIG FISH at the Other Palace and this is a comparatively unknown "classic" unseen in London for 50 years and so it's quite a bold choice as a potential box-office blockbuster.
And yet this ought to be the perfect time for a revival. It concerns a befuddled old man who imagines himself a knight and strides out treating everyone so chivalrously that their mockery turns to affection until eventually they wish real life could be as the noble as old boy sees it.
One could argue that it's exactly this craving for the moral certainties of myth and honour that drive so many of us to wallow in GAME OF THRONES and the Marvel universe amidst out dangerous and unpredictable world. So I'm sad to report that the show doesn't really catch fire as it should in this production.
It has three BIG unforgettable anthems and I defy you not to come out humming the title song or the stirring IMPOSSIBLE DREAM and when these are sung the whole piece threatens excitingly to take flight. But then we're back to the very plodding script, delivered slowly and tentatively by this uncertain cast.
Grammer is very good with terrific stage presence, a strong enough singing voice to do the score justice and a beautiful down-beat melancholy, but no one else stands much of a chance with the thin material the secondary characters are given and which make it so hard to care less about what happens to them.
It doesn't help that it's a show within a show with an unnecessary framing device that see Kramer's character imprisoned for reasons that are unclear, and forced to enact the knights story before a jury of his fellow prisoners. It's something to do with the Spanish Inquisition but if you know as little about that period of history as I do this makes no impact.
The director Lonny Price tries for some contemporary relevance by putting the prisoners in hoodies but this seems to muddy things even further, and to serve the "in-jail" convention the stage doesn't really open up beyond the grey prison walls.
All this meant it was good thirty minutes before I could stop trying to work out what everything meant and what the stakes were and could emotionally engage with the story. By this time, for me, it was too late and I could only view events dispassionately. A long patch of similar sounding, slow-tempo and underwhelming songs compounded my disinterest and I began to yearn for it all to be over.
Vivacious opera star Danielle de Niese lights up the stage as the sassy "tart with a heart" tavern wench who first finds wisdom in the knight's words but her rival suitors are so undefined and the tavern-brawl sequences so limp that her efforts are in vain.
The always wonderful Peter Polycarpou and national TV treasure Nicholas Lyndhurst are cast and wasted as two, low life, potentially comic characters; a cuddly servant and a bumbling inn-keeper, who are never given enough material to make sufficient impact.
The musical arrangements of Mitch Leigh intermittently brilliant score sound terrific when played by the ENO orchestra conducted by David White. Unfortunately the shimmering concoction of earthy brass, soaring stings and flamenco guitars simply reinforces how dull the rest of it is.
An agreeable enough star turn from Kelsey Grammer in an otherwise disappointing evening.

The theatrical history of the soon-to-be Sondheim Theatre

In 2015, Delfont Mackintosh Theatres owner Cameron Mackintosh proposed plans to purchase and redevelop the Ambassador's Theatre, a redevelopment which would see the venue transformed into a flexible performance space fit to accommodate productions which needed a non-traditional stage.
Review: MARKET BOY at the Union Theatre
By Phil Willmott Saturday, April 27 2019, 21:42
If there's a better metaphor for how the southern working class fared under the premiership of Margaret Thatcher than this play I don't know of it. Premiering at the National Theatre in 2006 David Eldridge's sprawling kaleidoscope of a script aimed to capture the spirit of Romford Market in the late eighties.

Networking is just not limited to LinkedIn, Facebook, and email because you only get half of the benefits from it. This is one of the biggest networking mistakes. To use the complete benefit of Networking one must step out of the comfort zone and conduct face to face networking. This commitment of yours will definitely reward you.
The above career advice is very much important and you must consider working in presentations and industry conferences which is very suitable for networking. In this place, you will find lots of people with similar ideologies and common goals. Thus it will not give rise to an awkward situation even if you meet a stranger.
Sign up and attend a conference right now if you haven't done it earlier. This is a very good opportunity. Another important career guidance tip is that if you are already attending conferences then do not stick to your usual group it is important to meet new people every other day.
There is nothing that will slip of your hand by doing so and just keep in mind that only you expose yourself to new people you will actually reach great heights rather than working it out from home.
You can also conduct elevator pitch sessions for about 20 to 30 seconds especially in unexpected networking and you need to prepare well for it.

Elboron
2nd Prince of Ithilien
Steward to King Elessar
Dates: Fourth Age
father: Faramir, Prince of Ithilien
mother: Éowyn of Rohan
In the family tree titled "The Line of Dol Amroth" in HoME 12, the son of Faramir, Prince of Ithilien, and Éowyn of Rohan is given the name Elboron; under his name appears the description "Second Prince". Because Aragorn announced at his crowning that the office would remain hereditary, Elboron also succeeded Faramir as Steward of Gondor.
The Peoples of Middle-Earth, HoME Vol 12, Part 1, Ch 7, The Heirs of Elendil: The Line of Dol Amroth
Faramir's son Elboron likewise only appears in this genealogy. In him an old name reappears: Elboron and Elbereth were the original names of the young sons [later called Eluréd and Elurín] of Dior Thingol's Heir who were murdered by the followers of [Maedhros1] ([HoME IV, V]). Later the sons of Elrond were named Elboron and Elbereth, before they became Elladan and Elrohir ([HoME VIII]).

I got an email from Zynga yesterday announcing gifts to the players of their games. I figured, maybe a free ad free, or an allotment of tokens. Something of some value to their user base.
Well, it turns out, at least based on the ad in-game, that the "gift" is a free second power up. That, in and of itself, would be great if it was permanent. According to the ad though, it will only be for today.
So, I think their "gift" is a pile of crap. A lot of advertising for their appreciation for a temporary lifting of a "price" for using the second power up in their game. A lifting for one day?
A gift is something you get to keep. I don't see this as a gift. It's just a bad marketing move by a large company that doesn't value their customers.

'A passion to explore': Haunt The Woods' Supernova video
January 15, 2020 By D&CFilm
You don't have to wait for the spaceport, something else is taking off in Cornwall! We're talking about the band Haunt The Woods, who seemed destined for the stars. Their latest video, Supernova, steps beyond space into the world of fully-formed sci-fi.
We caught up with director Billy Abbott to find out the how's, the why's and the what's of the film. Supernova shares some of the elements of the Haunt The Woods' Elephant video: evocative images, powerful colour and a sense of mystery. But the filmmakers explored whole new technical, emotional and story-telling spheres for Supernova.
D&CFilm: Why did you decide on the sci-fi theme?
Billy Abbott: The scale of the meaning of the song and its anthemic nature I felt would be matched by a grandiose aesthetic. It's important to keep evolving the band's visual style, so I settled on a character-driven concept using art direction and locations to drive the abstraction and world building. The video was in pre-production for a long time to nail down the concept and production elements due to the nature of producing a sci fi video on a tiny budget.
I've been an enormous sci-fi fan for a long time (tasteful ones I promise) and since hearing the song for the first time I knew I wanted it to be sci-fi, but budgetary constraints were a major issue. This took all of my resourcefulness, I wanted a challenge and knew going in that this would take a lot of energy and resilience to make (and I now owe multiple favours to a variety of friends and colleagues!). Filmmaking is a constant learning journey and if one isn't striving to improve or learn then there's a risk of losing what you love about it in the first place.
D&CFilm: Where did you film it?
Billy Abbott: This was a 4 day production shot across Gwithian Beach and Tehidy Woods for exteriors; and Enys House, Maker Studio and Cornwall Aviation Heritage Centre for interiors. I'd love to give a huge thank you to CAHC, who were not only extremely welcoming but run one of the most fantastic displays of vintage aircraft I have seen in the UK. Truly a treasure trove.
It's not often you get the opportunity to film on a jet and it was a wonderful experience. The initial concept was to build a sci-fi cockpit but it swiftly became clear that this simply wasn't achievable on a low budget and would require a lot of manpower, resources and time.
D&CFilm: There's some beautiful imagery and great use of light – where did where did you get the ideas and inspiration?
Billy Abbott: Thank you. Ad Astra (DoP Hoyte Van Hoytema) was a huge inspiration for me, as well as First Man (DoP Linus Sandgren). Both of them present an isolated and personal perspective of a spaceship and the loneliness of being in space, it just so happened that this style is inherently more favourable for a low budget production due to not requiring any time-consuming establishing shots or relying on green screen elements. The manner in which Brad Pitt's character is presented in Ad Astra is extremely introspective and invasive which complemented the abstracted narrative we were intending to produce.
I decided to concept the video with a view to creating distinctive scenes each of which were built from my desire to explore elements of cinematography. I think the strength of the video comes from a passion to explore and experiment which was felt within the crew at absolutely all times. The excitement was palpable, and my fantastic crew and cast were keen to get involved in something that we said from the start was going to be a huge challenge!
D&CFilm: Can you give a quick run down of the narrative?
Billy Abbott: The narrative is quite purposefully abstract at points, focusing on world building and mystery. But at its core it's a representation of an event which causes wholesale change in someone's life, in this case an event which causes her loved ones to have aged or time to have been manipulated.
Supernova's core theme is an event that changes your worldview, you look behind you to see a very different person or vision, you look forward and see both the light of the new world and the dark of the lost time. There's a bittersweetness in this that I very much wanted to explore and represent.
D&CFilm: Thanks Billy!

Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy DVD News
bill-swift - May 18, 2005
It seems that in Hollywood, it's never too early to start the next round of marketing. While The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy is still in theatres (go see it if you haven't), details are already being released about the DVD.
MTV (via The Movie Blog) writes:
"Extras and deleted scenes are such a big thing now, but most of those are deleted for a reason."..."Of course they're deleted, they're awful!" director Garth Jennings laughed. "But ours were never going to be in the movie."...
...such as when a Vogon soldier is about to throw...Arthur Dent (played by Martin Freeman), and his alien friend Ford Prefect (played by Mos Def) off his spaceship. In the book, Dent and Prefect desperately try to change the mind of the rather mindless soldier, who isn't exactly keen on killing them but feels bound to their duties. But the theatrically released movie never reveals that hilarious conversation and never intended to -- you'll only see it on the DVD.
...scenes depicting an evil version of one supporting character, Slartibartfast (played by Bill Nighy), who is actually kind to Dent in the theatrical release. John Malkovich's character, religious leader Humma Kavula...got to show a different side of himself..."We recorded this thing where John sang this whole hymn about blowing your nose," Jennings said. "He sang it with real gusto. It was quite bizarre."
In addition to the fake scenes, the filmmakers commissioned Grant Gee (who helmed the Radiohead documentary "Meeting People Is Easy") to film a making-of piece for the DVD.
