London house prices overshoot even the wealthy
John Speck (ARN) 31 January, 2001 11:27
As if Swedish football coach Sven Goran Eriksson did not have enough on his plate trying to revive the English national team's flagging fortunes; first he has to negotiate his way through the booming London property market.
Like other foreign celebrities, such as pop diva Madonna, Eriksson has reportedly been shocked to find that his two-million-pound-a-year salary does not go very far when looking for a place to live in the bustling capital.
But with pundits predicting a fresh rise in London property prices this year, Eriksson is not alone in feeling priced out of the market.
London may be a cheaper place to live than Tokyo or Osaka, but it remains the most expensive place in the European Union, according to an Economist Intelligence Unit report.
With Britain's economic fundamentals still strong, particularly in the key London economy, demand for housing will remain robust and rents will rise too, housing analysts predict.
Estate agents greeted 2001 with a post-Christmas rush, as buyers emerged to compete for a limited supply of properties.
"We have been very busy since Christmas with a packed diary of viewings every weekend," said Martin Dixon, agent at Martin Barry in Brixton, an up-and-coming south London neighbourhood which in the 1980s was torn apart by race riots.
House prices - a key indicator in Britain where most people own their homes and have much of their wealth tied up in them - soared in 1999 and early 2000 until a cocktail of interest rate rises and higher taxes on property transactions hit the market.
The stronger January market follows a slide in prices around the middle of last year, when prices fell as much as 10 percent in some central London areas such as the ever-trendy Notting Hill and leafy South Kensington.
"London's economy is resilient and is increasingly securing its position as Europe's financial centre, so the outlook for housing looks good," said Rob Thomas, analyst at UBS Warburg.
The upbeat outlook was confirmed this week by a report from the Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors (RICS), which tracks house prices across Britain.
For a third consecutive month, RICS found more surveyors reporting price rises than falls and expectations regarding future prices stood at their best level for eight months.
"The underlying economic fundamentals are good and house prices in the London region appear to be rising at a steady pace, but not as fast as the marked pick-up in late 1999 and early 2000," said Milan Khatri, chief economist at RICS.
Any rise in prices, even if it gathered pace this year to around 10 percent, is unlikely to trouble the country's central bank which will worry only if house prices start to soar.
Surging house prices make people feel more wealthy, fuelling household spending, even though price gains are largely illusory because moving up the property ladder becomes more expensive.
The picture of rising prices is not, however, without potential storm clouds, not least the slowing U.S. economy which could threaten Britain's economic growth rate.
LOW RATES, INFLATION LEAD TO RE-RATING
But, at least for now, activity appears healthy, partly because any slowdown in economic growth is likely to herald cheaper borrowing costs as interest rates fall. And, analysts say, in a low inflation environment of the kind Britain appears to have achieved housing can undergo a re-rating because low interest rates mean buyers can afford more.
While London prices have risen sharply in recent years - more than doubling in certain areas - analysts say key measures of affordability are not as stretched as popularly suggested.
"House prices in relation to average (male) earnings in London stand at 4.45 times, above an average of around 3.9 but below a peak of 5.5 times seen when the London market overshot on the upside in 1988, said Warburg's Thomas.
In contrast with the 1980s when mortgage rates averaged 12 percent, most home buyers now pay around 7.5 percent, with many paying significantly less, thanks to Britain's strong inflation-fighting performance in recent years.
Last year, according to data from the Nationwide Building Society, house prices in greater London jumped 13 percent compared with an average rise across Britain of 9.4 percent.
"There seems to be enough momentum behind London to achieve solid growth this year - it would take a dramatic reverse in financial markets or a recession to harm it, which looks unlikely," said Alex Bannister, economist at the Nationwide.
"There is still a shortage of property for sale and many people in the market can trade up relatively easily because they have a lot of equity in their property," he added.
Bannister said London house prices now stand around 5.0 percent higher in real terms (adjusted for inflation) compared with their long term average, compared with 50 percent out-performance when the market was seriously overvalued in the summer of 1988, just before a major housing market crash.

January is Blood Donor Awareness Month
Someone needs blood or a blood product every two seconds in the United States, and one out of every seven people who enter a hospital will need a blood product, according to America's Blood Centers (ABC).
After the holiday season of giving, the ABC says blood and plasma donations become scarce. In a hospital setting this can mean patients in a wide range of circumstances can be limited in how much blood they receive.
Blood transfusions can be necessary for serious injuries, surgeries, childbirth, blood disorders, anemia and many other conditions and situations.
Plasma donations can be vital for patients with liver failure, severe infections and serious burns. Also, plasma donated by a recovered COVID-19 patient, known as convalescent plasma, can help others recover from the virus.
HSHS Sacred Heart and St. Joseph's hospitals Director of Laboratory Services, Russ Albert says January's Blood Donor Awareness Month is a critical time to educate the public about the many benefits of being a blood or plasma donor, whether it's once or on a regular basis.
"Donations are important because we do not have an alternative for blood or platelets; they cannot be manufactured," said Albert. "Hospitals use blood every single day to help patients."
Here are 4 top reasons to consider making a life-saving blood donation part of your new year:
A donation can save a life, or several lives if your blood is separated into its components – red cells, platelets and plasma
Only 10% of eligible donors donate despite it being a safe and regulated process by the Food and Drug Administration and the American Association of Blood Banks
Before donating you will get a small, free health check (not to replace regular exams with your provider) that includes pulse, blood pressure, body temperature and iron levels; Also, once your blood is collected and sent to a lab, further testing is done to check for infectious diseases and you are notified immediately if there are concerns
Blood donation can improve your overall health; Research shows blood donors are 88 percent less likely than others to suffer a heart attack
For more information about how to save and improve quality of life for those in need of blood and plasma, visit the Community Blood Center, which is the organization that supplies HSHS Sacred Heart and St. Joseph's hospitals with blood and blood products.
Marco donates $10,000 to The Salvation Army, as employees bell-ring to benefit those in need
Marco Technologies announced today the results of its annual support of The Salvation Army, which includes a $10,000 corporate donation, as well as employee support through donations of monetary gifts and volunteered time.
This has been an annual tradition at Marco as a way to come together with co-workers to fill the Red Kettle and spread holiday cheer. This comes as millions of Americans are still experiencing the ongoing impacts of the pandemic, and The Salvation Army is amid another challenging holiday season, as it tries to meet the increasing needs of people struggling to remain above the poverty line.
To show their support, Marco employees volunteered as Salvation Army Red Kettle bell ringers in their communities. In addition, Marco employees participated in officewide fundraising activities and made donations themselves, knowing that donations in each Red Kettle stay local, directly impacting the lives of their neighbors.
The Salvation Army serves more than 25 million people in communities nationwide each year. That results in more than 55 million meals for the hungry, more than 10 million nights of shelter for the homeless, and countless Christmas gifts for children who might otherwise go without.
Giving back to the community is a core value of Marco's. The company commits dollars every year to support charitable causes across the communities it serves, as a part of its Gold Standard culture.

Martin Luther King Jr. Remembrance event to be held virtually January 17
The annual Eau Claire community celebration of the life of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. will take place virtually, streamed by Pablo Center at the Confluence at 7 p.m. Monday, Jan. 17.
"I think to start the year honoring Dr. King, his message of nonviolence and looking at who we want to be is an important way to set the tone for this community," says Dr. Selika Ducksworth-Lawton, a professor of history at UW-Eau Claire and an organizer of the MLK event.
"People want to make their communities better. They want to make sure everybody is treated fairly, equally and with respect. If we can start with that, we can bridge differences, especially artificial differences that are meant to divide us."
With the health and safety of all participants at the forefront in planning, Pablo Center staff, along with the university and partnering entities once again have planned a virtually delivered event that can be most widely and safely enjoyed by all.
"In an effort to present an event with meaningful community conversation and artistic experiences, we have elected to hold the Martin Luther King Jr. Remembrance Day for the Chippewa Valley event in a virtual format," says Pablo Center marketing manager Becca Hinderliter.
"Delivered through the Perigon streaming platform in HD sound and video, audiences can expect a quality virtual event that commemorates the life and work of Dr. King through a variety of entertaining live music performances and impactful spoken-word pieces," Hinderliter says.
One of those spoken-word pieces will be delivered by B.J. Hollars, an associate professor of English at UW-Eau Claire. Hollars' 2018 book, titled "The Road South," recounts his personal journey retracing the routes of the historic Freedom Rides and holding conversations with as many of the heroic riders as he could meet.
"While researching my book in Montgomery in 2016, I had a fortuitous meeting with Dr. King's former neighbor, Dr. Valda Montgomery," Hollars says. "While at their family home, the landmark Harris House, I enjoyed a conversation on the porch with Valda's 93-year-old mother, Vera Harris, sitting on the very swing she once shared with Dr. King himself."
Hollars will offer his thoughts on how that and other personal accounts help to humanize Dr. King, reminding us that he was, after all, "just a neighbor too, and that we are all capable of greatness in our own way."
An essential element of this annual King remembrance event is music, and live performances will be offered by Twin Cities-based artists Irie Sol and Samantha Moon, along with Dr. Frank Watkins, an associate professor of music and director of choral studies at UW-Eau Claire.
"It is impossible to celebrate Martin Luther King Jr. and not highlight the importance of music to the civil rights movement," Watkins says. "All major movements for social change have been fueled by musicians and artists who used their craft to stand for change."
The Jan. 17 event is a collaboration among King Remembrance Program for Eau Claire, Uniting Bridges of Eau Claire, Pablo Center, Converge Radio and UW-Eau Claire.
Be a part of the program by submitting a video. Event organizers ask community members to submit one-minute videos of themselves discussing equality and how they plan to honor King's message. The videos will be part of Monday's program. Email your video to Dr. Ducksworth-Lawton at duckswsm@uwec.edu.
Register here to stream the event.
The on-campus MLK Celebration is set for Wednesday, Feb. 2, also to be held virtually. Details to follow on the UW-Eau Claire website.

I have always been able to rely on Jerry's dedication to M&J, and he has done an outstanding job leading this firm and positioning it to be successful for years to come," said Dan Market, Market & Johnson's chairman.

January is Human Trafficking Awareness & Prevention Month
January was first declared as National Slavery and Human Trafficking Prevention Month in 2010. Since then, the month has been set aside to acknowledge and raise human trafficking awareness.
Commonly thought to be a thing of the past, human trafficking is the fastest growing criminal enterprise in the world generating $150 billion every year, more revenue than Starbucks, Nike, and Facebook combined. Sad to say, the US is one of the top producers and consumers of child pornography in the world, and human trafficking has been identified in all 72 Wisconsin counties. It seems like an insurmountable problem, and yet it often goes unrecognized by residents and professionals alike.
This is where we come in. At Fierce Freedom, we work to educate and equip individuals, organizations, and communities to end the cycle of human trafficking and exploitation. Education is key before inroads can be made in this fight, so our focus and energy is best spent growing our programming and its avenues of outreach. As our area of expertise, education is our sweet spot in the fight to end human trafficking.
This is where you come in. If you're already a part of the Fierce Freedom community of supporters, thank you! If this is new to you, you can come alongside us now in your sphere of influence to recognize and prevent human trafficking. We cannot do this work without your support, and we're here to come alongside you and equip you with the facts and resources.
As part of our January Human Trafficking recognition events, one of our resources, "The Real Faces of Human Trafficking," a video/workbook training program intended for the workplace will premiere on January 26, 2022 at the Mabel Tainter, 205 Main Street East, Menomonie, at 6:30 pm. Tickets, $8.00 each, will be available at https://ci.ovationtix.com/32695.

Security Financial Bank Names Mark Oldenberg as President

Marco donates to Children's Wisconsin Foundation as part of Community Give Back program
Marco announced today the results of its latest Community Give Back project, engaging clients to vote on their favorite charity as part of the company's charitable program. Clients in the Milwaukee area chose Children's Wisconsin Foundation as the charity to receive a surprise $5,000 donation as part of Marco's ongoing Community Give Back program and celebration of the company's recent acquisition of Wisconsin Imaging Systems in New Berlin, Wisconsin.
"Children's Wisconsin was founded over 125 years ago by seven women philanthropists who believed kids needed better care, and by a pastor who helped kids find safe and loving homes," said Christine Baranoucky, vice president, engagement & stewardship for Children's Wisconsin Foundation. "We are so grateful to community partners such as Marco for continuing this tradition of community support. Together, we will help kids in Wisconsin be the healthiest in the nation."
Giving back to the community is a core value of Marco's. The company commits dollars every year to support charitable causes across the communities it serves, as part of its Gold Standard culture.
"We appreciate everyone who took time to vote for a charity, and we are happy to support Children's Wisconsin Foundation and the children and families it serves," said Dawn Zimmerman, Marco's Chief Marketing Officer. "Children's Wisconsin Foundation funds programs - from research and critical care for sick children, to community initiatives designed to keep kids healthy and safe - across the communities we serve."
Marco's Gold Standard culture centers around four pillars: employee engagement, client satisfaction, community support and vendor partnerships. It's a culture, a passion, and an intentional way of doing business for Marco.
"We're always looking for new ways to give back to our communities and appreciate our clients partnering with us to celebrate our growth in Wisconsin," Zimmerman said.
SBA Working Capital Loan Available in Wisconsin Following Secretary of Agriculture Disaster Declaration for Freeze
The U.S. Small Business Administration (SBA) announced today that Economic Injury Disaster Loans (EIDL) are available to small businesses, small agricultural cooperatives, small businesses engaged in aquaculture, and most private nonprofit organizations as a result of freeze occurring May 5-30, 2021.
The declaration covers the primary Wisconsin counties of Jackson, Kenosha, Langlade, Lincoln, Marathon, Trempealeau, and Walworth; the contiguous Wisconsin counties of Buffalo, Clark, Eau Claire, Forest, Jefferson, Juneau, La Cross, Menominee, Monroe, Oconto, Oneida, Portage, Price, Racine, Rock, Shawano, Taylor, Waukesha, Waupaca, and Wood; the contiguous Illinois counties of Boone, Lake, and McHenry; and the contiguous Minnesota county of Winona.
"When the Secretary of Agriculture issues a disaster declaration to help farmers recover from damages and losses to crops, the Small Business Administration issues a declaration to eligible entities, affected by the same disaster," said Kem Fleming, director of SBA's Field Operations Center East.
Under this declaration, the SBA's Economic Injury Disaster Loan program is available to eligible farm-related and nonfarm-related entities that suffered financial losses as a direct result of this disaster. Apart from aquaculture enterprises, SBA cannot provide disaster loans to agricultural producers, farmers or ranchers.
The loan amount can be up to $2 million with interest rates of 2.88 percent for small businesses and 2.00 percent for private nonprofit organizations, with terms up to 30 years. These working capital loans may be used to pay fixed debts, payroll, accounts payable, and other bills that could have been paid had the disaster not occurred. The loans are not intended to replace lost sales or profits.
Applicants may apply online using the Electronic Loan Application (ELA) via the SBA's secure website at disasterloanassistance.sba.gov/ela/s/ and should apply under SBA declaration #17277, not for the COVID-19 incident.

Royal Credit Union Supports Community Health Internships
Royal Credit Union is pleased to announce its support to the Community Health Internship Program (CHIP), through an $11,200 grant awarded to North Central Area Health Education Center (NC AHEC).
The Community Health Internship Program enables college students who have an interest in community, public and population health the opportunity to gain valuable work experience with local community-based health and social service organizations, public health departments, tribal health clinics and federally qualified health centers.
The donation by Royal Credit Union will help off-set the stipends paid to students placed in west central Wisconsin during the 2022 summer eight-week program. "When we learned of the impact this program can have on addressing healthcare workforce shortages that affect all residents living in our area, we knew we wanted to provide support, " said Jennifer McHugh, VP of Community Engagement at Royal Credit Union. "The internship program provides experience to the next generation of community health providers and other professionals who serve in public health capacities."
Last year NC AHEC placed over 30 interns in 26 organizations throughout the North Central region. Students are placed in traditional county public health departments as well as community-based health and social service organizations such as Boys & Girls Clubs, University Extension, CAP Services, Literacy Councils, United Way, and community wellness and prevention services.
Eggs & Issues: Holiday Legislative Breakfast
Local legislators discuss workforce, elections, and plans for the future
December 17 Eggs & Issues at the Pablo Center for the Confluence
The Chamber's December 17 Eggs and Issues featured 5 of Wisconsin's state representatives, Jodi Emerson (D-Eau Claire), David Armstrong (R-Rice Lake), Donna Rozar (R-Marshfield), Rob Summerfield (R-Bloomer), and Jesse James (R-Altoona), and 2 state senators, Jeff Smith (D-Eau Claire) and Kathy Bernier ((R-Chippewa Falls). The event was hybrid, with Rep. Emerson and Sen. Smith attending in person and the remainder of the state legislatures attending virtually. They discussed many issues, including workforce, elections, and plans for the future. This event was streamed remotely via Perigon and in-person at the Pablo Center at the Confluence.
The Lawmakers each touched on the workforce issues Wisconsin has been facing recently. They all agreed that it is a large issue that needs to be addressed. However, Rep. Summerfield argued that it is not a one-step process as many pieces of legislation are needed to deal with this issue. He commended Rep. Armstrong on his recent idea to help municipalities reinvest in development and emphasized his work with Sen. Bernier on a workforce housing tax credit.
Sen. Smith and Rep. Summerfield both emphasized the need to increase broadband in Wisconsin, especially in rural communities. They stated this is one of the ways Wisconsin can entice more people to move here and make it a better place to live, which may help the workforce issues Wisconsin has been facing. Rep Summerfield also mentioned that increased access to broadband in rural areas would be beneficial to schools as well, allowing more students access to course materials online from home and at school.
The lawmakers discussed Sen. Smith's proposed legislation, Final Five Rank Choice Voting. Sen. Smith endorsed his bipartisan Final Five legislation, which had its hearing in the Senate last week, saying that it will increase the number of candidates, change politicians behavior in office and out of office for the better, and give the voters more of a say in what happens in government. However, Sen. Bernier was wary of the Final Five voting system, stating that there are questions she would like answers to in order for Wisconsin to not be the Guinea Pig for this voting system.
Sen. Bernier also discussed her recent statements regarding the validity of the 2020 election. She questioned the necessity of the 2020 election investigation in Wisconsin and its motives. However, she also stated that she would like to see the Election Committee uphold the laws regarding elections so everything is done in the proper manner. Rep. Emerson later commended Bernier on her bravery to go against her own party to fight for her beliefs.
Rep Summerfield also discussed the package of housing bills that have been passed by the Assembly and are awaiting Senate action. These bills aim to enact a variety of measures to increase affordable housing. Rep Summerfield spoke on Rep Skowronski's (R-Franklin) bill exempting sales tax on construction materials to reduce the cost of construction by 5% saying that is one of the best short term solutions for the housing crisis in Wisconsin. He emphasized that the continued conversations on both sides of the aisle are crucial to make progress on this issue.
Almost all of the lawmakers are currently planning on running for reelection in 2022, save Sen. Bernier who stated that she is still debating this decision and may choose to retire following this term. Rep. Emerson also discussed her decision to run for the Assistant Minority Leader, with the vote to occur on Dec 20. According to Wispolitics.com, Rep. Greta Neubauer, D-Racine, is unopposed to replace outgoing Minority Leader Gordon Hintz of Oshkosh. Current Assistant Minority Leader Diane Hesselbein of Middleton is leaving that post to run for the State Senate. Assembly Democrats running for Assistant Minority Leader include Emerson, along with Jimmy Anderson of Fitchburg, Kalan Haywood of Milwaukee, Shelia Stubbs of Madison, and Supreme Moore Omokunde of Milwaukee.

Collaboration, partnerships at the heart of UW-Eau Claire's $9.4 million Workforce Innovation Grant
The University of Wisconsin-Eau Claire received a $9.4 million grant from the Wisconsin Economic Development Corp. through the agency's Workforce Innovation Grant program. Gov. Tony Evers announced UW-Eau Claire's award at a press conference on campus on Dec. 14. UW-Eau Claire's three-year award, the first of 12 such grants announced across the state, will focus on strengthening the workforce for rural health and wellbeing.
When Dr. Mike Carney first met with Dr. Carmen Manning to develop UW-Eau Claire's proposal, their goal was to craft a bold plan to address the significant needs of rural communities tied to education, health care and small business success.
Carney and Manning knew the only way their bold plan could become a reality was for UW-Eau Claire to lean into the expertise of its faculty and staff and the broad network of partners and collaborators that have helped shape the university for decades.
Carney, assistant chancellor for strategic partnerships and program development at UW-Eau Claire, said he was thrilled to learn from the Wisconsin Economic Development Corp. that UW-Eau Claire's proposal had been selected for funding.
Manning, dean of the College of Education and Human Sciences at UW-Eau Claire, said collaboration is at the heart of UW-Eau Claire's grant proposal, which seeks to respond to the crisis in rural areas that have been disproportionately affected by the pandemic by providing a comprehensive strategy to address immediate and medium-term solutions to critical workforce needs and a long-term strategy to foster innovation and design-thinking in new and existing businesses.
UW-Eau Claire's project will address the three critical needs outlined by Gov. Evers' 2020 Commission on Rural Prosperity; health care, education and small business development, all of which have been negatively impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic over the past two years. As school and county human service agencies face a dwindling number of teachers and social workers, small businesses confront worker shortages and pandemic challenges and experts anticipate a spike of nurse retirements across the country, rural communities in Wisconsin are facing a perfect storm.
The four pillars of the project include addressing workforce shortages for nurses, teachers and social workers in rural communities; developing new degree programs and career pathways at UW-Eau Claire in high-demand health care fields; piloting a health care delivery model based on technology-enabled health care hubs and "care coaches" trained to facilitate bidirectional communication between provider and patient; and creating innovative curriculum and providing entrepreneurs and local business owners with business services and innovation support to better weather future economic challenges.
CVTC awarded $10 million Workforce Innovation Grant
Chippewa Valley Technical College has been selected to receive a highly competitive $10 million Workforce Innovation Grant from the Wisconsin Economic Development Corporation to address the critical workforce shortage in the manufacturing industry throughout northwestern Wisconsin.
Gov. Tony Evers announced the 3-year grant, one of only 12 in the state out of more than 130 applications, during a news conference on Tuesday, Dec. 14.
"Employers are struggling to hire qualified workers into key metal fabrication careers throughout the manufacturing sector," said Sunem Beaton-Garcia, CVTC president. "While these jobs are high-paying and in demand, we need to do what we can to attract people to the field through skilled training and education, which will lead to successful, long-term careers."
CVTC"s RESTORE (Restoring Employment through Support, Training, Outreach, Recruitment and Education) program will partner with Northwood Technical College, Workforce Resource, Inc., Bloomer School District, Osseo-Fairchild School District, St. Croix Central School District and PMI - a metal fabricating business, to facilitate career pathways in metal fabrication for underserved populations throughout rural northwestern Wisconsin.
"The project will work to provide innovative options to access learning opportunities throughout our communities," Beaton-Garcia said. "This will be done by creating training hubs to access education and equipment in strategic locations of the region utilizing mobile labs, implementing short-term training programs, and facilitating career pathway planning events.
"These strategies will assist prospective workers in their pursuit to high paying careers in manufacturing."

MOM program; milk depot and dispensary at HSHS Sacred Heart Hospital celebrate milestone
HSHS Sacred Heart Hospital is celebrating one year of success for the Maternity onto Motherhood (MOM) program, and the operation of western Wisconsin's first breast milk depot and dispensary.
In the first year, the MOM program has assisted nearly 60 percent of all families who delivered a baby at HSHS Sacred Heart Hospital. The program helps families navigate the physical, emotional and lifestyle changes that come with parenthood from conception to baby's first birthday. Together, the care team and baby's family design and individualize each birth journey to ensure the safest and highest quality of care. This includes prenatal care coordination, delivery planning, proper car seat installation, lactation consultation, scheduling appointments, finding community resources and lending a friendly ear to those who want to talk through family related topics.
"It is so rewarding to see families benefitting from the MOM program," said Maria Green, Women and Infants Center director. "Our MOM coordinators are like personal assistants to families. We're so thankful to share our expertise in the hope it gives families valuable support and information."
December also marks one year since the breast milk depot and dispensary opened at HSHS Sacred Heart Hospital, which is the only hospital in western Wisconsin to provide both services in one convenient location.
In partnership with Mother's Milk Bank of the Western Great Lakes, based in Elk Grove, Illinois, the program has provided 500 gallons of donated, pasteurized milk to babies in the Chippewa Valley area over the past year.
The depot and dispensary serves three purposes:
To have pasteurized donor breast milk readily available to infants hospitalized at HSHS Sacred Heart Hospital
To have pasteurized donor breast milk available to the public for purchase
To serve as a site for women to donate breast milk
Green anticipates the breast milk depot and dispensary, and the MOM program to continue growing as more community members learn about the services.

Real Madrid 'to delay' Kylian Mbappe transfer announcement for two reasons
Real Madrid will reportedly postpone the announcement of Kylian Mbappe for two reasons after the Spanish giants drew his Paris Saint-Germain side in the Champions League.
The French forward looks certain to join Los Blancos when his current deal expires next summer and a pre-contract agreement could be struck as early as January 1.
Mbappe was the subject of an extraordinary transfer tug-of-war in the summer just gone with PSG refusing to accept Real's reported offer of £188m and they now face losing the 22-year-old for free.
However, following the controversy surrounding Monday's Champions League draw, the two European powerhouses were pit against each other in the Round of 16 at the second time of asking, adding complications to an update on Mbappe's future.

Sergio Ramos vows to 'die' for PSG against his old club Real Madrid
According to AS, Real will delay the transfer announcement of Mbappe's impending move until after the much-anticipated Champions League clash out of respect for PSG and in order to make the World Cup winner's exit easier on him.
The striker will already face considerable pressure over the two legs, which take place in mid February and early March, amid the continued speculation surrounding his future.
Reports in Spain suggest both clubs feel any additional attention on Mbappe regarding his seemingly inevitable transfer between the two teams would be detrimental to the player.
Which team will be victorious in the Champions League Round of 16 clash: Real Madrid or PSG? Let us know in the comments section below.
It is therefore likely that any official announcement of the Frenchman joining the La Liga table-toppers will come in March at the earliest, after the Champions League tie is resolved.
Despite enjoying a sensational season with PSG so far, in which he has hit 13 goals and registered 12 assists in just 23 games, Mbappe reportedly remains keen to depart the French capital in favour of a move to Madrid.
It is believed that the forward will sign a six-year deal with Real, keeping him at the Bernabeu until 2028 at least.

Behind the Scenes of Gone With the Wind
By Hadar Gerlitz
Gone with the Wind is an iconic movie that will forever be cherished. With the classic characters, impeccably written screenplay, and immaculate sets, there is no other movie that can compare. The impact of the movie is still strong, even though it's been 80 years since it was first released. It was released in 1939, which is the same year that The Wizard of Oz came out. That's not the only similarity between the two movies.
Source: moviestillsDB, Copyright by Warner Bros., Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer
The movies were competing against each other in the box office, but Gone with the Wind ultimately won. However, things weren't always so peachy in Hollywood back in the 30s. There were many issues, including segregation and the gender pay gap. Yes, these problems are still going on in Hollywood today, but thankfully, it's much less. You should see what some of the black actresses had to go through.
Here are some behind the scenes secrets of Gone with the Wind.
Fashionably Late
We've all seen Vivien Leigh do an incredible job portraying the gorgeous Scarlett O'Hara in Gone with the Wind. It's tough to imagine anybody else playing such an iconic role. However, may other young actresses of the time were also after the lead part, which Margaret Mitchell already established in her novel.
With a heavily marketed casting call, many young Hollywood starlets showed up to audition. Some of these heavyweights included Bette Davis, Katharine Hepburn, Joan Crawford, and Paulette Goddard. Eventually, Leigh won the role! However, it wasn't until a month after filming started when the producer, David O. Selznick, finally settled on the stunning actress. It wasn't an easy job, though. The actress worked 16 hour days and was constantly exhausted.
Real Men Do Cry
Nowadays, if an actor is able to portray a heartfelt emotional scene, he can win praise and awards. Unfortunately, back in the 1930s, Hollywood didn't represent the 'sensitive man' in a lead role. During that time, actors were supposed to signify the "ideal man." This meant that they were normally masculine, and there was definitely no room for tears.
In Gone with the Wind, Clark Gable was supposed to show sorrow and distress when Scarlett suffered a miscarriage after falling down the stairs while running from him. Initially, Gable wasn't up for it. He was convinced that audiences weren't ready to see an emotional male character on their screens. Although he was scared to damage his acting credibility, Gable finally agreed and shed tears for the scene.
Hattie McDaniel won an Oscar Award for her portrayal of "Mammy" in Gone with the Wind. Well, it turns out that the actress already demonstrated personal ties to the story. Her family history was involved in the Civil War and slavery, which was what the movie depicted. Talk about art imitating life.
McDaniel's parents were actually former slaves. Her dad was a soldier during the Civil War and fought in the United States Colored infantry as a freed slave. Luckily, he survived the war but suffered terrible injuries. The actress's mother was also a slave. Everything comes full circle. When she won the Oscar for her role in the movie, she made history as the first black actor to win the award.

In Brilliant Technicolor!
Gone with the Wind was a huge hit when it came to awards in Hollywood. This was partly because of the groundbreaking use of Technicolor. The technology for Technicolor was already around and being used in films for years at that point. Gone with the Wind, however, used seven Technicolor cameras just to shoot the scene that illustrated the burning of Atlanta.
Similarly to The Wizard of Oz (which was released at the same time), the entire movie used vivid colors to capture the beautiful story. The impressive movie quality didn't go unnoticed. When award season came around, Hollywood created a whole new category dedicated to color cinematography. Needless to say, Gone with the Wind was the first-ever movie to earn that award.
Ol' Blue Eyes
Vivien Leigh is obviously a talented actress, but it was her beauty that really brought Scarlett O'Hara to life. Leigh's captivating eyes drew audiences into her beauty; however, her crystal blue eyes were wrong for the character. Margaret Mitchell already described Scarlett in the novel as having "black hair and green eyes."
Her hair color was correct, but of course, hair is much easier to change then eyes. Well, since everyone involved in creating this movie was determined to make it perfect, there was a lot of work done post-production to alter Leigh's eye color in order to stay true to her character. It must have worked considering the actress won an Oscar award for her role in the movie.
Always the Lady
After giving timeless performances and winning two Oscars, it's clear that Vivien Leigh is an incredibly talented actress. But like many other Hollywood stars, she had her standards when it came to keeping her integrity and self-respect for a role. As a proper English Woman, Leigh had a few challenges when she was asked to produce coughing and gagging sounds for a scene.
The specific scene was when her character bites into a rotten vegetable before having a choking fit. It was difficult for Leigh to produce such repulsive sounds. Luckily, her costar, Olivia de Havilland, replicated the disgusting sounds. Her coughing vocals were added into the sound mix, and Havilland saved the day!
Talk the Talk
The cast of Gone with the Wind was mainly British. The only non-British lead in the film was Clark Gable. Vivien Leigh was a British-ruled India native, and when she read the lines for her character, it didn't exactly define a high British accent. Thankfully, they didn't dismiss the actress's unrealistic accent.
Instead, the director, George Cukor, decided to go on filming. But it was the producer, David Selznick, who defended the actress in a letter. His argument was that her accent was "closer than a Yankee's to that of a Southerner." His effort to defend her "Englishness" seemed to have worked, considering the actress was never replaced. That's a good thing because no one else could have played the part the way she did.
Bite Your Tongue!
It shook audiences everywhere and was heard all around the core. It was destined to become one of the most repeated movie quotes in history. In the midst of a hailstorm, Rhett Butler uttered the iconic line, "Frankly, my dear, I don't give a damn." The producers battled for months, trying to figure out if it's necessary to include the four-letter D-word.
Director David O. Selznick searched through the Hays code sensors' red tape. He was ultimately victorious. At the time, it was kind of a big deal to include the D bomb in a movie, so the scene shocked moviegoers. However, what many people seemed to have missed is that the word was mentioned earlier in the film when someone screams out, "Damn Yankees."

Atlanta Burning
Scarlett and her comrades were forced to leave Atlanta in one of the most legendary scenes in cinematic history. The memorable moment depicts Atlanta burning to the ground in front of our very eyes. The visual mastery was so impressive; it's a surprise that it was even possible to shoot such an incredible scene in 1939.

Well, it turns out these kinds of cinematic scenes are made possible by a lot of money. Just to film that one scene cost $25,000. It may not sound like that much, but back in the 30s, this was a lot. It was such a major financial risk, and if it failed, the movie would have gone down inflamed instead of Atlanta.
After portraying such a classic character, Vivien Leigh reached new heights of fame. The actress even earned a best actress Oscar award for her portrayal of Scarlett O'Hara. It was also well-known at the time that Leigh and her character shared the same genealogy.
The word going around at the time was that both Leigh and Scarlett were of French and Irish descent. This also granted Leigh more credibility because the realistic aura made her performance even more believable. Well, it turns out that this was all a PR move. Yes, Leigh was part Irish, but the rest of her genes were Scottish, not French. Wow! I thought publicity stunts were a new age thing, but I guess they used this technique back in the 30s.
The Ultimate Staying Power
Do you ever wonder what happened to the cast of Gone with the Wind? Well, considering the date of the movie, it's not that surprising to hear that most of them have passed on. Well, there is one starlet from the film that is still shining bright. The beloved character of Melonie was portrayed by the gentle-faced Olivia de Havilland. The actress is still alive today.
Olivia de Havilland was born to British parents during World War I, but she is a Tokyo native. Like her costar Vivien Leigh, Olivia de Havilland also proved her talent with a steller performance. She won the best actress award twice and is currently 103 years old! Wow, I wonder if I'll make it to that age.
Four's a Crowd
The magic behind Gone with the Wind has a lot to do with the main cast. However, there are some little known facts about the leading characters. For example, did you know that there was just one singular scene where they were all on-screen at the same time?
The specific scene is after Ashley comes home from Belle Watling's house. He wasn't feeling too great, and all the women attended to him at his bedside. Although there were several love triangles tangled up in the story, this is the only instance when all four lovers were on screen together. Most people don't catch that little detail, so if you did, you are a true Gone with the Wind fan!
Dummies and Extras
Gone with the Wind will always be remembered for its immense artistic efforts that came with monumental ambitions. David O. Selznick was in danger of having his vision destroyed in the scene that included a slew of injured Confederate soldiers. David's vision required no less than 2,500 soldiers to be featured in the scene.
Unfortunately, the Screen Actors Guild didn't have that many actors or even extras at their disposal. However, David O. Selznick persisted in bringing his vision to life on screen. This problem was solved by using 1,000 dummies in between all the real actors. It seemed to be a creative idea, and audiences didn't seem to notice. With all the wannabe actors around Hollywood today, movies don't face this problem anymore.
Director in Distress
When Gone with the Wind came out, it was competing with another movie that was destined for greatness. The Wizard of Oz was released at the same time, but not only did they share the spotlight, they also shared a director: Victor Fleming. When Fleming came on to the project, he was the second man trying to tackle the task, replacing George Cukor.
Fleming really tried to juggle the two projects, but directing two of the greatest movies in history resulted in him leaving due to extreme exhaustion. The movie was ultimately saved by a third director, Sam Wood. The two films seemed similar because they both brought out the Technicolor technology and became extremely popular. However, Gone with the Wind killed The Wizard of Oz in the box office.
The Shakespearian Pragmatist
In Gone with the Wind, Ashley Wilkes was played beautifully by Leslie Howard. The talented star may have been a former Shakespearean stage actor, although literature wasn't exactly his forte. Howard left his costars to do the heavy research while he added his own spin to the character. Many of the other cast members read original descriptions from Margaret Mitchell's novel in order to perfect the role.
Howard, on the other hand, found the exertion unnecessary. Instead of reading the 1,037-page novel like the rest of the cast, Howard chose to present the role the way he interpreted it from the screenplay. You know what they say, the book is always better than the movie. I guess Howard will never know.
Mammy Does a Shot
Out of all the castmates, Clark Gable was the jokester. He always kept the atmosphere on set lively and entertaining as the resident prankster. Since he already knew Hattie McDaniel from a previous acting job, she was the perfect target for Gable's pranks. In one of the scenes of the film, Rhett offers Mammy a glass of whiskey. In reality, the whiskey was tea.

This happens in movies all the time since directors don't want their actors drunk on set. Well, for the first take, Gable used real whiskey and passed it to McDaniel, who had no idea she was about to drink real alcohol. After downing the "tea," McDaniel immediately spit it out. The actress definitely learned her lesson and started smelling the whiskey before pouring it into her mouth.
Book Smarts
Vivien Leigh's portrayal of Scarlett O'Hara became a classic simply because it wasn't understated. For Gone with the Wind, Vivien Leigh was able to pull off the melodramatic character perfectly. Well, in reality, Leigh had a few tricks and subtle ways to get her point across on the screen.

Sometimes, on the movie set, Leigh wasn't too enthusiastic about reading the screenplay. Instead, the actress would take out her personal copy of Margaret Mitchell's novel and read it aloud on set. The actress was secretly trying to remind the director, Victor Fleming, that the book should be the one driving the film. Of course, this helped her performance, but it also helped the film as a whole, bringing back some of its roots.
Not Much of a Dreamer
Vivien Leigh is remembered for being ladylike and elegant in everything she does. She helps convince the masses that English women are proper and outstandingly similar to those of southern Belles. Although she was multi-talented, there was one thing the actress couldn't do. She lacked even the most basic ability to dance.
Gone with the Wind wasn't exactly known as a Broadway production. However, the movie did feature some brief dancing that occurred in the Confederate ball scene. Leigh didn't have the best rhythm, and her two left feet couldn't handle even the simplest dance moves. Luckily, she had a dance double. Sally De Marco stepped in to cover the distance shots and saved the day.
As soon as it was released, Gone with the wind was an immediate success. Even during its first test run in Riverside, California, it already scored high points. Audiences loved the movie and had enough patience to sit through the entire thing. Especially since they already sat through a different movie that was 2 ½ hours long by the same producer, David O. Selznick.
After watching the first movie as an opening act, the dedicated viewers remained seated for another 4 ½ hours for a very exclusive viewing of Gone with the Wind. Since the first viewing was edited differently, the audience didn't get to hear the controversial, highly anticipated (and now iconic) line from Rhett Butler. "Frankly, my Dear, I don't give a damn."
Sneaking Around
Back in the 1930s, movie stars were attached to their studio in the same way that singers are to their record labels. It was extremely difficult to get your studio to allow you to release a project from a different studio. Actress Olivia de Havilland was not signed with MGM Studios or Selznick International, but she was persistent in her efforts to snag the part of Melonie. Therefore, she came up with a plan.
She came up with a genius plan and went straight to the women. She took Irene, Mayer's daughter to Brown Derby, a popular restaurant in LA, and the two had tea together. After working her charms on Ms. Selznic, she ultimately convinced her that she would be perfect for the part. Needless to say, her brilliant plan worked! Selznick then persuaded her father.
Lucy's Revenge
Lucille Ball was a stunning up and coming model/actress during the casting call. The redhead that appeared in the Vitameatavegamin commercial wasn't as lucky in real life when it came to her audition for Gone with the Wind. Prior to her audition, she spends six weeks with a brilliant acting coach to help her perfect her southern drawl.

Unfortunately, on her way to the audition, she got caught in the rainstorm and ended up at the audition soaking wet. Sadly, David O. Selznick didn't give her the part, but Lucy didn't let that bring her down. Decades later, she bought David's production company and moved into the office that he was dismissed from. This girl does payback, right!
Musical Genius
One of the most memorable elements from Gone with the Wind is its sweeping, wonderful score. When producer David O. Selznick was looking for the perfect composer, he wanted one specific man, Max Steiner. The Austrian immigrant was the godchild of Richard Strauss, a well-known romantic composer. After arriving to America with just $32, Steiner has risen to notoriety.
Steiner was already earning praise for his work on the composition of King Kong. He showed off his talent and determination once again when he worked 24/7 to perfect the composition for Gone with the Wind. There were times where he worked 20 hours straight just to meet deadlines. His hard work was all worth it, and it has become one of the most beloved scores in Hollywood history.
No Cameras, Please!
Although she was well known for her literature, Margaret Mitchell wasn't into fame and being in the public eye. When the author won the Pulitzer Prize for her book, Mitchell was so desperate to get away from the press that she hid in a gospel concert. When her book was coming to life on Hollywood, she made it clear that she didn't want to be involved.
Still, that didn't stop the press from going after the famous author and hear her opinions. She was pretty clever when it came to dodging or deflecting questions from the paparazzi. When reporters asked her who she thought would play Rhett Butler, her amazing response was, "Groucho Marx," which confused the interviewers.
Superman & Scarlett
We all remember when Superman used his powers to save Lois Lane, but before that, he was on Tara plantation courting Scarlett O'Hara. That's right. George Reeves is one of the Tarlatan twins and the original Superman. He and Fred Crane, his on-screen twin brother, fought over Scarlett's affection.
In Gone with the Wind, the dynamic duo both dyed their hair red. Warner Brothers was the one who chose Reeves' last name for the movie. It was ultimately the name he used throughout his career in the entertainment industry. His character was Brent Tarlatan, and his twin is Stuart Tarlatan, played by Fred Crane. The twins appear in the opening scene of gone with the wind along with Scarlett O'Hara.
Fear of Fire
There is a Hollywood legend surrounding the Atlanta burning scene. Rumor has it that the intense flames may have been made possible by burning old sets. Apparently, before Vivien Leigh was even cast, she was standing right there with Lawrence Oliver, and the two were impressed. Unfortunately, nearby residents didn't feel the same way. They were terrified.

The locals assumed that the studio was actually on fire. To be fair, they saw shooting flames come out of there. If you've seen the movie, you know this scene is brief. However, it took two hours to shoot. The LA Fire Department had to be called during the fire and ensured locals that Warner Brothers Studio wasn't actually burning.
Off to See the Wizard
Hollywood talent really had a breakthrough in 1939. It was a great year for the industry, and one director worked on both The Wizard of Oz and Gone with the Wind. It's understandable that these movies wanted some of the biggest stars in the industry, and that's where the beloved fairytale beat out the wartime epic.
Billie Burke was supposed to play Aunt Pittypat in Gone with the Wind. She ended up turning down the role to play Glinda, the good witch, and made her way to the magical land of Oz. There was another actress meant to play Scarlett's sister Careen, who also chose to turn down the part for the role of Dorothy in the Wizard of Oz. That's right. I'm talking about the legendary Judy Garland.
Patriotic Stars
Some of the most memorable actors of the movie didn't show up to the Atlanta Premiere. Among these stars was Leslie Howard, who portrayed Ashley. He took his acting fame to his home country of Britain to raise morale during the start of World War II. He went on to star in several patriotic films and had an influence on his costars.
Clark Gable was another actor who helped out across the Atlantic. He even gave up Hollywood fame in order to become a United States Army Air Corps officer. Luckily, his film talents didn't go to waste. He was asked to narrate a documentary about pilots in the war. He was perfect for the job considering he was involved in five combat operations against the Nazis.
We already mentioned Olivia de Havilland's amazing dedication to her character, Melanie. She was so determined to perfect the role that she took it one step further. The actress wasn't even a mother yet when she needed to portray a woman giving birth on camera. It was only a decade later when she actually got to experience childbirth.
To do the part justice, Olivia wanted an inside look into the process of childbirth. She went to the Los Angeles Country Hospital, put on a nurse outfit, and made her way to the delivery ward. She was able to witness childbirth, but she still wasn't satisfied. She said she couldn't replicate the pain if she didn't feel it. This led her to cry out in earnest and nail the scene!
We spoke about how some of the characters in Gone with the Wind had to have their hair dyed, or eye color changed in postproduction. Well, this wasn't limited to people who had to look the part. Even one of the horses needed a touch-up. Yep, even a horse got time in the makeup chair.
When the scene where Scarlett escapes Atlanta with her horse, he looked scrawny and malnourished. However, the horse that was brought to set was vibrant, energetic, and extremely healthy. To make sure the horse looked like he was starved, the production team did a great job painting dark circles around him, making it appear as if the famine withered his body.
Clark's Big Break
Scarlett O'Hara was one the most sought out roles at the time. Any actress would have died to even be considered for the iconic role. That wasn't the only sought after role, though. A lot of male actors had their eye on the part of Rhett Butler. Initially, producer David O. Selznick wanted Gary Cooper for the role, a cowboy with the demeanor of a gentleman. He even began arranging for the actor to switch studios, in order for him to be part of the Warner Brothers production.
Unfortunately, Cooper didn't have high hopes for Gone With the Wind and rejected the offer. Clark Gable was next in line. As she soon as he landed the role, he took the opportunity to create one of the most memorable performances Hollywood has ever seen.
VIP Veterans
It's amazing how much time went by since Gone with the Wind was released. I mean, it's been nearly 80 years! Well, here is another little fact that will blow your mind. At the Atlanta premiere, the featured guests of honor were actually Civil War veterans. That is really crazy if you think about it, considering how long ago the war was.
The veterans were in their 90s at the time; they had people assist them and leaned on canes. Still, it's crazy to think that these former Confederate Soldiers made their way down to the red carpet to attend the party of the year. The event even featured a model of the Twelve Oaks Plantation.
As we already mentioned, Olivia de Havilland lived longer than most of her costars from Gone With the Wind, but there is another one who's still living. The actor's name is Mickey Kuhn, and he played the part of Beau, Ashley and Melanie's son. It makes sense that he is still alive, considering he was only seven years old in the movie, he had another on-screen connection with Vivien Leigh.
In A Streetcar Named Desire, Leigh starred as Blanche DuBois, and at the beginning of the movie, she gets directions from a sailor. What you probably don't know is that the sailor is an older version of Mickey Cohen. I guess he was a good luck charm for the actress who won the Best Actress Oscar for both movies.
Kate the Great
In Gone with the Wind, Scarlett O'Hara is constantly surrounded by suitors. Well, in real life, the actresses were different kinds of suitors as they were after the part of Scarlett. Well, there was one actress in particular who stood out from the west. The stunning and talented Katherine Hepburn.

Hepburn was both tough and persistent. She was no stranger to acting or portraying strong female characters. She was obviously not shy and proclaimed "I am Scarlett O'Hara" to the producer, David O. Selznick. She didn't get the lead role as she hoped, but they did find something for the starlet. She got to play a witness at Lawrence Oliver and Vivien Leigh's wedding. At least she got to grace the screen with her beauty and presence.
Butterfly's Journey
Butterfly McQueen was the actress who portrayed Prissy, Scarlett's maid. McQueen didn't slow down and continued her acting her career after the film half a century later. In 1986, the actress landed a supporting role in Mosquito Coast. The movie also featured two new actors, who ended up as Hollywood Royalty: Harrison Ford, and Helen Mirren.

She came from Florida with her unforgettable stage name, and her voice was just as memorable. She lent that voice of hers to a comedy show that was broadcasted during World War II on American Military radio. Then, Butterfly moved to New York at the age of 64, where she attended City College and earned her degree in political science.
Hattie's Legacy
Hattie McDaniel was definitely a force to be reckoned with. The actress even beat out Eleanor Roosevelt's maid when she landed the memorable and historical role of Mammy. Sadly, even though she was a Hollywood star, she still found herself as the subject of segregation.
The actress was the first black person ever to be invited to the Oscars. Unfortunately, she was relegated to sit in the back of the room. She made history when she won the award for Best Supporting Actress and proudly went on stage and accepted the award. In just one night, the talented starlet was the first black person to attend the Oscars and the first black person to win an Oscar.
It's not surprising that Hattie McDaniel's historic Oscar win touched many black actors and actresses in the industry. This was shown through a wonderful tribute by actress and comedian, Mo'Nique. When she earned her nomination for Best Supporting Actress, the outfit she wore on the red carpet looked a little bit familiar.
After Mo'Nique won the award, she mentioned Hattie in her tearful acceptance speech. She thanked the actress "for enduring all that she had to, so I wouldn't have to." She later explained that the white magnolia's that were carefully placed in her hair, we also in honor of Hattie McDaniel. She wore the same flowers when she earned the exact same award, 70 years earlier.
Hattie McDaniel's road to the Oscars wasn't easy. Unfortunately, she ran into many bumps along the way, which reflects how severe the inequality was at the time. In December 1939, the movie finally opened in Atlanta, and the city celebrated with a party that lasted three days. Hattie McDaniel and Butterfly McQueen were not invited.
Clark Gable spoke out against the Jim Crow laws that prevented his friend, McDaniel, to join the festivities. Producer David O. Selznick understandably shared his objections. Gable was even planning to protest the party. This kind of discrimination was a huge problem at the time. McDaniel herself was the one who convinced Gable to go to the party. In the end, she was the one to make history.
An Unbridgeable Gap
There were other issues of discrimination that was going on at the time, and shockingly, still going on now. The gender pay gap has been addressed through the media in recent years, but it has been going on forever. Hollywood is obviously no exception to this major problem, but in the 1930s, the discrepancy was shocking.
To put this in perspective, Vivien Leigh was paid $25,000 for 125 days of work. Clark Gable, on the other hand, worked for a total of 71 days and made $120,000! Clearly, we still have a long way to go, but we're moving forward. Obviously, the gender pay gap isn't as insane and astonishing as it was back when this movie was filmed.
Down in the Dumps
At the time the movie was being filmed, it was well-known that Clark Gable had his moments of rage, and Vivien Leigh didn't quite get along with director, Victor Fleming. Unfortunately, they weren't the only cast members who experienced dismay on the set of Gone with the Wind. There were two other actors who were also unhappy.
Leslie Howard hated his role as Ashley. Apparently, he was disgusted to play a pretty boy, which he wrote in a letter to his daughter. Butterfly McQueen was another actress who loathed the character she played. Butterfly categorized Prissy as backward and unintelligent. It was difficult for the actress to play her since she found the role to be repugnant and demeaning.
Not Horsing Around
After starring in Gone with the Wind, the human actors weren't the only ones to reached new heights of fame. Do you remember the horse that carried Gerald O'Hara, Scarlett's Irish father into Tara Plantation? Well, he experienced a great deal of fame as well following the release of the movie. This horse had no problem snagging yet another classic role.
He will always be remembered for Galloping in the plantation. But he too went on to expand his acting career. Soon after, the horse accompanied Clayton Moore's Lone Ranger show in the TV show. The white steed even got a new name, Silver. Well, there's another animal who has a more impressive resume than I do.

This article is divided into four main sections. The first section introduces the process currently under way under the Biosafety Protocol towards the adoption of a liability and redress regime as well as some of the issues that member states need to address in this context. The second section moves on to highlight some of the substantive issues that need to be addressed in the development of a liability and redress regime in the field of modern biotechnology. These include the question of environmental damage, a central concern in an environmental treaty, as well as other equally important issues such as risks to human health, socio-economic aspects and the question of patent liability. The third section analyses existing legal frameworks to highlight some rules and principles that current negotiations on liability in the context of the Biosafety Protocol can use as models. It examines international environmental civil liability regimes whose general structure provides an appropriate starting point for liability and redress in biotechnology. It then analyses some existing liability regimes in the field of biotechnology which provide more specific pointers for the development of a biotechnology-related liability regime. The last section examines some of the points that need to be addressed in the context of the ongoing development of a liability and redress regime under the Biosafety Protocol. These include a number of elements within the environmental liability regime which need to be adapted to the field of biotechnology as well as issues concerning the link between environmental liability and patent liability, an issue of increasing importance at the national and international levels.
