text:
EGOT, an acronym for the Emmy, Grammy, Oscar, and Tony Awards, is the designation given to people who have won all four of the major American entertainment awards. Respectively, these awards honor outstanding achievements in television, recording, film, and Broadway theatre. Achieving the EGOT has been referred to as the "grand slam" of show business.  18 people have won a competitive EGOT, while five others have also earned the distinction with honorary or special awards.

The EGOT acronym was coined by actor Philip Michael Thomas in late 1984, when his role on Miami Vice brought him instant fame, and he stated a desire to achieve the EGOT within five years. (Thomas has yet to be nominated for any EGOT prize.) The acronym gained wider recognition following a 2009 episode of 30 Rock that introduced EGOT status as a recurring plotline.

EGOT winners

Notes

Five additional artists have received all four awards, though one was bestowed for an honorary or similar non-competitive distinction: Barbra Streisand has no competitive Tony, Liza Minnelli has no competitive Grammy, and Harry Belafonte, James Earl Jones, and Quincy Jones have no competitive Oscar.

Variations

PEGOT
There are conflicting definitions for the PEGOT. Some say the "P" refers to the Peabody Award, others say it is the Pulitzer Prize. , Mike Nichols, Rita Moreno and Barbra Streisand (if her Special Tony Award is considered) have achieved this status by winning the Peabody; while Richard Rodgers and Marvin Hamlisch have achieved it by winning the Pulitzer.

EGOT winners who have also won a Peabody Award:
 Barbra Streisand
 Mike Nichols
 Rita Moreno

EGOT winners who have also won a Pulitzer Prize:
 Richard Rodgers
 Marvin Hamlisch

People who have won a Peabody, and lack only one EGOT award:
 Carol Burnett (missing an Oscar)
 Martin Charnin (missing an Oscar)
 Rob Epstein (missing a Tony)
 Anne Garefino (missing an Oscar)
 James Moll (missing a Tony)
 Trey Parker (missing an Oscar)
 Matt Stone (missing an Oscar)
 Charles Strouse (missing an Oscar)
 Lily Tomlin (missing an Oscar)
 Cicely Tyson (missing a Grammy)
 Oprah Winfrey (missing a Grammy)

Parker and Tomlin were nominated for a 1999 Oscar for Best Original Song and 1975 Oscar for Best Supporting Actress, respectively, but did not win.

People who have won a Pulitzer, and lack only one EGOT award:
 Jerry Bock (missing an Oscar)
 Oscar Hammerstein II (missing an Emmy)
 Tom Kitt (missing an Oscar)
 Frank Loesser (missing an Emmy)
 Lin-Manuel Miranda (missing an Oscar)
 Stephen Sondheim (missing an Emmy)

Miranda was nominated for the Oscar for Best Original Song in both 2017 and 2022 but did not win either.

Notes

REGOT
Another variation is the REGOT, which includes being awarded a Razzie. Alan Menken has a REGOT due to his Razzie win with Jack Feldman for Worst Original Song for "High Times, Hard Times" from Newsies. With her Razzie win for Worst Actress for Rent-a-Cop and Arthur 2: On the Rocks, Liza Minnelli has a REGOT if her non-competitive Grammy Legend Award is considered.

Equivalent honours outside the United States
The Emmy, Grammy, Oscar and Tony Awards are presided over by industry bodies based in the United States, and as of 2023, 14 out of the 18 EGOT winners were American nationals. The remaining four ― John Gielgud, Audrey Hepburn, Andrew Lloyd Webber, and Tim Rice ― were British. Many countries hold their own equivalent awards ceremonies honouring their own television, music, film, and theatre industries. In some cases, commentators in other countries have derived their own acronyms for individuals who have won at all four ceremonies.

Canada
In 2018, Leah Collins of CBC Arts proposed a Canadian equivalent of the EGOT: the Canadian Screen Awards (and their predecessors, the Gemini and Genie Awards) for film and television, the Juno Awards for music, and the Dora Mavor Moore Awards for theatre. Toronto-based game show Trivia Club referred to this combination as the "Two-Can-Ju-Do". No individual has won in all four categories.

Australia
In 2019, Caitlin Welsh of Nova Entertainment proposed the "LAHA" as an Australian equivalent: the Logie Awards for television, the ARIA Music Awards for music, the Helpmann Awards for theatre, and the AACTA Awards for film. She also could not identify any winners of all four awards, although Noni Hazlehurst has received nominations in all four.

Allowances--that is, budgeting general costs for items before the specific items are chosen--are a fact of life on many projects. Some homeowners have trouble making decisions before work begins, most commonly for appliances, cabinets, floor coverings, and plumbing and electrical fixtures. In those cases, the builder can allocate a dollar amount to each category and let the homeowners choose specific products later.
That doesn't mean homeowners can postpone thinking about these products altogether. For an allowance to serve the homeowners' interest, it must be based on accurate numbers. For example, the homeowners should at least decide what grade of products they want. That decision can require legwork as well as self-awareness.
The builder can provide average dollar numbers based on past experience with similar projects, but this is only the first step--the homeowners need to ask follow-up questions. For instance, the builder may suggest a $6000 allowance for light fixtures. How many of what kind of fixtures does that represent? Does it include bulbs? Recessed cans, sconces and chandeliers come in a range of prices, so it's important to be realistic about like-to-haves versus must-haves.
Or take the example of tile. That $5,000 shower allowance might cover a large-format ceramic or porcelain, but what if the homeowner really wants travertine? It's best to decide up front and budget for it, including finding out whether the price includes labor.
Some people go online to compare products and prices, but the results can be misleading. Although internet pricing may show the relative costs of different grade levels, the quality and warranty coverage may not match that of products sold by a professional supply house.
In most cases, the best way to create an allowance budget is to visit the builder's recommended supplier or showroom. The builder can work with the showroom after the initial visit to generate a realistic number for the grade of products the homeowners want. The time invested in this work will yield allowances based on real-world numbers, not on guesswork or wishful thinking.
The homeowners should also consider allowances when choosing a builder. Ask the builder's references if its allowances were realistic. Professional builders make sure customers understand what their budget will and won't cover because they know the customers will be happier in the end.
Note that the builder will set a deadline for every allowance choice. Meeting this deadline is crucial to getting products delivered in time for installation. If the homeowners miss the deadline, the allowance money will still be there, but the delay will throw off the job schedule and raise the final cost.
It's best to make as many product choices as possible before work begins. But since most projects will have allowances, homeowners can help keep the job running smoothly by thinking through their needs and doing their homework on schedule.

Q: Linearity of Lorentz Transformations from Principle of Relativity Many derivations of the Lorentz transformations assume they must be linear maps on $\mathbb R^4$, where we identify the components of $\mathbb R^4$ with orthogonal coordinate systems associated to each observer. I've heard the following argument that linearity follows from the principle of relativity: In any inertial reference frame, an object with no forces on it follows a straight line through spacetime. Thus, Lorentz transformations must preserve straight lines, and hence they are linear.
However, the above argument is flawed because objects can only move on timelike paths, so strictly speaking we should only assume that straight lines with $\|\vec v\|<c$ remain straight. I.e., if $T$ is a Lorentz transformation and
$$L_{\vec v,\vec s}:=\{(ct,\vec s+\vec vt)\,|\,t\in\mathbb R\},$$
we insist that for all $\vec v,\vec s\in\mathbb R^3$ with $\|\vec v\|<c$, we have
$$(1)\qquad T(L_{\vec v,\vec s})=L_{\vec v',\vec s'}$$
for some $\vec v',\vec s'\in\mathbb R^3$.
Is $(1)$ enough to imply linearity of $T$? If not, what about in conjunction with the second postulate? Again if not, can we extend our usage of the principle of relativity to cover all straight lines, not just timelike ones?

Note that unlike here, I am not assuming the spacetime interval is preserved between all pairs of points. It is argued here that linearity follows from (a particular version of) homogeneity and continuity. I'd prefer to lose the continuity assumption (despite its naturalness) and replace it with a more straightforward application of the principle of relativity.

61 Days of Halloween, Mini-Review
61 Days of Halloween: Asylum (1972)
Posted on September 17, 2013 by bernardovillela
For an introduction to the concept of 61 Days of Halloween and a list of previously covered films go here.
Last year I got into a real kick of watching as many horror anthologies as were easily accessible. The anthology film, horror or otherwise, was one I'd not seen too many times. Granted they are one of the rarer approaches but they are out there. The most recent notable editions in the genre are, of course, The ABCs of Death and V/H/S. I had heard, from more than one source, that this was the best of them so it was one I knew I had to give a go once this theme rolled around.
Not only had I heard it was quite good, but it was also cited as one of the 100 (or so) best horror films from 1950-1980 by Stephen King in his seminal work of non-fiction, Danse Macabre. And titles on that list are high on the pecking order so far as things I want to be seeing during this theme.
With this film the approach is one closer to a nested anthology, which is to say that the stories more naturally flow in a narrative sense. Some anthologies are rather regimented and segmented. Here the the frame is highly important both in terms of the screen time it's given and the impact it has on the tale overall. There are far too many anthologies I've seen, even in the small amount, that treat the frame as a throwaway or as secondary. This does not.
With the tales spawning from the minds of the deranged there is also a brilliant liberation from "reality" and standard rules. The drawback that most will point to regarding anthologies is that invariably some tales are better than others, some are even so good that they nearly salvage otherwise dreadful films. Part of why this film is so well-regarded is the fact that pretty much all the stories in this film (frame included) stand on virtually equal footing, and they're all quite good, creepy, weird, and well-executed.
Amicus Productions are not a name I'm very familiar with but they are a company whose titles are worth getting to know. Asylum being a prime example.

People with Parkinson's have always encountered difficulties in hospital, with non-specialist staff simply not understanding how important it is for them to get their medication strictly on time.
Rachel Power
Are UK hospitals safe for people with Parkinson's?
Author: Simge Eva DoganPublished: 17 October 2019
A new report by charity Parkinson's UK has found that more than two thirds of hospital patients with Parkinson's do not receive their medication on time – and calls for mandatory training to make hospitals a 'safer' place for people living with the condition
People with Parkinson's are "unsafe" in UK hospitals, according to a new report from charity Parkinson's UK.
After surveying 700 people living with the condition earlier this year, the charity found that 63% of patients were not receiving their medication on time when staying in hospital. And more than 75% reported that their health had worsened as a result of late medication.
With an estimated 145,000 people living with Parkinson's in Britain, Parkinson's UK has launched the 'Get It On Time' campaign, demanding the NHS take action and provide mandatory staff training to ensure better care for hospital patients living with Parkinson's – something that currently, less than half of NHS hospital staff are trained to do.
Rachel Power, chief executive of UK advocacy group The Patients Association, said the lack of specialist hospital staff is a longstanding issue.
"People with Parkinson's have always encountered difficulties in hospital, with non-specialist staff simply not understanding how important it is for them to get their medication strictly on time," said Power. "The ongoing crisis conditions in hospitals are almost certainly making this problem substantially worse."
"I felt ignored and like the staff didn't understand Parkinson's"
Discussing the report, Lloyd Tingley, Parkinson's UK's senior health policy and campaigns adviser, said: "It's clear that hospitals aren't always the safest places for people with Parkinson's, with many sharing with us that they're terrified of ever having to be admitted."
One individual quoted in the report, who was diagnosed with Parkinson's nine years ago, shared his experience of hospital admissions with Parkinson's UK:
"I needed my Parkinson's medication at 12 noon but when I asked for it at that time, I was told the drug round was not until 1pm. No one on the ward was aware that people admitted with Parkinson's had to get their medication at very specific times. By the time I got my tablets, I couldn't even communicate.
"I had uncontrollable tremors, I couldn't do anything for myself, I literally couldn't function, and I was immobile."
Another participant with Parkinson's said she felt ignored by hospital staff when she asked to take her own medication:
"It was like banging my head against a brick wall. I felt ignored and like the staff didn't understand Parkinson's and the severity of the situation. Because of this my Parkinson's symptoms got so much worse.
"One time I was given the wrong drugs but felt I had no choice but to take them because it was the only thing on offer to me. I ended up passing out. I could still hear everything going on around me and alarms going off and the staff rushing around trying to help me, but I couldn't move or talk. It was terrifying."
The EPDA's secretary general, Russell Patten, said: "One of the EPDA's strategic goals is to strive for healthcare systems where people with Parkinson's receive appropriate treatment and individualised care. This includes, of course, hospitals."
He added: "We are fully supportive of Parkinson's UK's 'Get It On Time' campaign, and we hope this will lead to a general improvement of how the needs of people with Parkinson's are addressed in healthcare settings in the UK and across Europe. Education and training of healthcare professionals about Parkinson's is essential if the lives of people with Parkinson's are to be improved."
A nationwide call to action
Since the launch of the Get It On Time campaign, the Parkinson's community has taken to social media to share their experience of hospitals.
One Twitter user commented on her mother's struggle to get medication on time in hospital.

Another user said healthcare professionals need more training on Parkinson's.
Every time my dad goes in he gets worse. I completely get that they are busy, but so many medical people have no clue the devastating impact it can and does have. Going into hospital should never make things worse.#GetItOnTime

Jeremy Vine, UK presenter for BBC Radio 2, expressed his support for the campaign.

Parkinson's campaigner Jonny Acheson shared an illustration encouraging others to back the initiative.
This is Basil he is in hospital and is due his next #parkinsons medication dose, which he really needs on time to keep him moving. That will help him and he will thank you forever.

Commenting on the research findings, a spokesperson for NHS England, said: "Patients with Parkinson's and other neurological conditions are among the most vulnerable in our society and all parts of the NHS strive to provide them with the best care possible.
"This summer we published guidance, in partnership with charities such as Parkinson's UK, to help local NHS staff take practical steps to improve the care for these patients in our hospitals."

When do we have enough evidence for animal studies?
Tom Rowles 19 Jul 2013
BMC Complementary and Alternative Medicine outlines changes to its guidelines for authors to help clarify when the journal will and will not consider studies involving the experimental testing of traditional treatments in animal models.
What represents sufficient justification to conduct a scientific study? It's an interesting question, and one that needs to be considered by researchers, publishers and funding bodies alike. At heart, the issue can be boiled down to a question of evidence and outcome: is there sufficient evidence to expect that investigating a particular treatment or system will yield results that are likely to be profitable in some way, either monetarily or as a contribution to scientific knowledge?
Here at BMC Complementary and Alternative Medicine we are of course interested in outcomes. When deciding whether we can even consider a manuscript for peer review though, it is usually the rationale behind a study that is most important to us, and in particular the source of the evidence underpinning this rationale.
In general, we would consider the scientific process to follow a well-defined, pre-determined path. Consider, for example, the identification of a plant of medicinal value. We would first expect it to be tested in cell lines or against reference pathogens, and then perhaps primary animal tissues. Ideally at this stage the active compounds within the plant should be isolated, or some attempt made to identify the major constituents of the plant through chemical analysis (HPLC or similar). This then provides the evidence to justify testing in an animal model, which subsequently provides further evidence (and, importantly, the toxicological profile) to justify the transition to studies in humans.
There is therefore a clear and well-established methodological route from cells through to animals, and finally to humans.
This issue becomes interesting when applied to traditional herbal medicine, where treatments have often been used on humans for hundreds, if not thousands of years without any investigation into how—or indeed if—they work. How does this situation affect the process set out above?
The simple answer is that it does not change it at all. We would still expect a manuscript detailing an animal study of a traditional medicine to include fully referenced justification from cell line studies, and/or other previous animal studies, in its Background section. From an ethical standpoint, the traditional use of a herb or plant cannot justify animal experimentation. Further, as scientists we have to respect the process by which new discoveries are made and the strong evidence base that is required to take a plant, or its compounds, from nature throu gh to the pharmacist's shelf.
This of course does not mean that traditional use can play no part in the discovery of new drugs or treatments. Certainly it can point us in the direction of plants of potential value. Importantly though this can only be used as an indication, not evidence, and can only feedback into the very early, laboratory-based stages of the scientific process. The fact that a treatment has been used for hundreds of years does not justify the sacrifice of numerous animals, without some indication from controlled scientific studies that an effect is likely to be observed.
In order to try and clarify this, we have recently made a change to our Instructions for Authors for Research Articles. These now include the following paragraph:
In general, the rationale for conducting studies of efficacy in humans or animals should be supported by previously published, in vitro evidence of the activity of the study intervention that is based on conventionally understood biological, physiological, chemical or physical mechanisms. We will not usually consider 'traditional use' alone as a sufficient justification for interventional animal or human investigations. Consideration of such studies for BMC Complementary and Alternative Medicine will be on a case by case basis and at the Executive Editor's discretion.
As stated, we will consider each manuscript on a case by case basis. However, our general policy will be that if you are unable to justify animal or human studies with findings from previous experimental research, then we will be unable to consider your submission.
Any enquiries about the suitability of a manuscript for consideration in BMC Complementary and Alternative Medicine should be directed to the Executive Editor through bmcserieseditorial@biomedcentral.com.

Located in the heart of Victoria's industrial Rock Bay neighbourhood, this brand new shop/cafe/eatery is truly something unique. Built from an auto repair shop that first opened in 1948, you are greeted at the door by a smell of freshly seasoned chicken breast, rich organic coffee and a sweet tinge of motor oil. Thanks in part to a facelift that took nearly 5 months to complete, the style gives Wheelies its swagger.
The food is the highlight of the entire experience. Chef Kai Musseau prides himself on only using the best, locally sourced ingredients to create a fresh menu that evolves weekly.
If pulled pork sandwiches and freshly brewed espresso don't turn your head, the Wheelies U Wrench program just might. Have a bike you want to wrench on but have no space or tools? Wheelies let's you rent time (hour, half day, full day etc) to do just that.
With a parking lot that is begging for a pig roast and a location strong enough to anchor an entire block party, Wheelies may have accidentally positioned itself to transform a whole neighbourhood.

Overall, almost two thirds of the established democracies worldwide have experienced a significant reduction in turnout since 1945. Under typical conditions, the alienation of a growing part of the electorate should ring some alarms in terms of calling the legitimacy of the elected authorities and their decisions into question. Moreover, episodes of lower turnout can be interpreted as showing that voters' attachments to the political system are fragile and vulnerable. In addition, the circumstances related to lower turnout may cause an enduring effect on individuals' political behavior.
Among all worldwide cases, Costa Rica is a country in which lower turnout presents an intriguing puzzle. After a long tradition of high electoral participation, with turnout rates usually above 75% between 1962 and 1998, turnout has decreased significantly in Costa Rica in the last two decades (1998-2018). This turnout reduction cannot be attributed to changes in rules to transform seats into votes, given the fact that the electoral system has remained the same.
In sum, falling turnout is often seen as signal of voters' dissatisfaction or disengagement with the political system. This could have long-term and dramatic impacts on support for and viability of the political system in the long-run. The worst-case scenario would be one in which this legacy could extend individuals' apathy toward politics during lifetime, causing low turnout to freeze for decades.
In addition to changes in political participation there have been significant transformations in the party system during the last two decades. The 2018 election was held under the most uncertain circumstances due to the high proportion of undecided voters. The results of this contest corroborate the reconfiguration process of the Costa Rican political party system originated with the collapse of the National Liberation Party-Social Christian Unity Party (PLN-PUSC) bipartisan system. Moreover, they elucidate the new path the party system is going through given the combination of two factors. On one hand, the decline of the PLN electoral support, the party that has dominated Costa Rican politics in the last sixty-five years, and on the other hand, the rise of evangelical forces accompanied with the decline of the left and center-left parties in comparison to four years ago.
Therefore, if we want to understand the main political implications of turnout decline and party system transformation in Costa Rica, we first need to comprehend the conditions under which these changes occur. We believe that the CSES survey in Costa Rica can be a very valuable and useful tool for these purposes.
Dr. Ronald Alfaro-Redondo is a Professor in the Political Science Department of the University of Costa Rica, a researcher at the Programa Estado de la Nacion, and the Principal researcher of the Costa Rican chapter of the Americas Barometer, Latin American Public Opinion Project. His research interests include political participation, electoral behavior, political parties and local politics.


As expected, the U.S. House of Representatives voted this week on the healthcare bill that included many so-called "tort reform" provisions. As our Illinois birth injury lawyers have often explained, the measure would have significant implications for those who suffer a birth injury caused by unreasonable conduct by their medical care provider. Medical malpractice lawsuits are the target of those who are pushing H.R. 5 and similar tort reform measures-that would include virtually all birth injury suits. Therefore, ensuring that local residents have open access to the justice system and medical providers are held accountable when they act unreasonably requires defeat of this bill.
The Thursday vote on H.R. 5, expectedly, resulted in the bill's passage out of the chamber by a 223-181 vote. However, it is important not to focus solely on the raw vote total. As the American Association for Justice explained in an advocacy update on the bill, examined in perspective, the final vote actually brings some good news. H.R. 5 is supported by the Republican leadership, and they are often able to corral their members into supporting or opposing proposals. In this case, however, ten Republicans broke ranks with their party and voted against the measure. Another three voted "present" in a clear sign of their disproval for the bill. Also, the unity of the Democrats on this measure was the stronger than for any other civil justice bill. Only seven Democrats defected and voted in support of this bill.
The battle now moves to the Senate, where the Democrats are in control-albeit by a much slimmer margin. The AAJ explains that the strong No votes in the House will likely be an important factor in reminding Senators of the opposition to this measure. Even if the bill makes it out of the Senate, the President has already strongly indicated that he would veto the bill. In a policy statement on the measure issued this week it was reported unambiguously that, "If the President is presented with H.R. 5, his senior advisors would recommend that he veto the bill." The letter also unequivocally voiced opposition to arbitrary caps on damages which prevent plaintiffs from receiving just compensation for injuries that they suffer.
Each birth injury attorney at our firm urges all those who understand the importance of equal access to a jury system to continue to monitor the progress of this bill. We will be sure to provide more updates as news develops on the measure's progress in the chamber. Patient safety begins with accountability. Mothers and their new children have a right to expect reasonable care be provided to them at all times during the labor process. It is medical malpractice when they do not receive that level of care. Ensuring that future families do not face the same situation requires those medical providers to be held responsible for their conduct and incentivized to improve their care. H.R. 5, and bills like it, would do nothing more than take away that incentive. That is why they must be defeated.

Il Tellier T.4 fu un idrovolante biplano da ricognizione marittima sviluppato dall'azienda aeronautica francese Société A. Tellier et Cie di Neuilly-sur-Seine nella seconda metà anni dieci del XX secolo e prodotto in una piccola serie.

Storia del progetto
Nell'estate del 1917, il comando dell'Aéronavale francese ordinò al costruttore Alphonse Tellier la realizzazione di un nuovo tipo di idrovolante da ricognizione marittima dotato di un solo propulsore da 350 hp e capacità di trasportare un carico utile di 1.000 kg. Come motori vennero prescelti il Sunbeam Cossack da 350 hp o un Panhard et Levasseur di pari potenza. Il nuovo tipo di idrovolante venne progettato dagli ingegneri Adolphe Tellier e Robert Duhamel, e il prototipo fu completato all'inizio del 1918.

Descrizione tecnica
Si trattava di un idrovolante a scafo centrale, con galleggianti stabilizzatori situati sotto l'ala inferiore costruito interamente in legno. La configurazione alare biplana, con formula  sesquiplana, prevedeva quattro coppie di montanti di collegamento tra le due ali. La propulsione era affidata a un motore Sunbeam Cossack a 12 cilindri, raffreddati a liquido, erogante la potenza di 350 CV ed azionante un'elica quadripala lignea in posizione spingente. L'equipaggio era formato da tre persone, pilota e copilota posti, affiancati, in un abitacolo aperto, mentre il mitragliere era posizionato in un abitacolo aperto all'estremità anteriore delle fusoliera. L'armamento del velivolo consisteva in una mitragliatrice Lewis da 7,7 mm e quattro bombe di tipo G da 70 kg.

Impiego operativo
Dopo i collaudi in fabbrica il prototipo fu consegnato al Centro per l'Aviazione Navale (CAM -Centro ďAviazione Marittima) a Saint Raphaël dove fu sottoposto ai test militari nel luglio del 1918. Con un peso massimo al decollo di 3.732 kg l'aereo trasportava un carico utile di 1.632 kg. Immediatamente al termine dei collaudi la marina emise un ordine di produzione per 315 esemplari, da realizzarsi presso gli stabilimenti Emile Dubonnet (15 velivoli), Gonnet-Willcoq (100 velivoli) a Cherbourg e Chantiers de l'Adour (200 velivoli). Gli esemplari di serie, oltre ai motori britannici Sunbeam, potevano essere equipaggiati anche con motori Panhard et Levasseur francesi della stessa potenza. Fino alla fine della prima guerra mondiale fu consegnato alla Marine nationale un solo idrovolante, mentre sei erano stati assegnati al CEPA di Saint-Raphaël per le prove operative. In contemporanea con la fine delle ostilità, il contratto di produzione fu ridotto a 35 idrovolanti. Tutti entrarono in servizio presso il Centro per l'aviazione navale di Tolone. Gli ultimi T.4 furono ritirati dal servizio militare nel 1922, mentre un idrovolante convertito a un motore Sunbeam da 450 CV partecipò a gare di aviazione a Monaco nel 1920.

Film Australia's Australia: Women in Change
Looks at the changing role of women in Australian society over the 20th century.
The filmmakers' record over nearly 90 years observes the changing role of women in Australian society through a juxtaposition of old and new footage. Older films show women pursuing traditional roles - housewife, typist, nurse and factory worker. In the early 20th century, the degree of choice was still very limited and film treatments were often sexist and demeaning to women. Film portrayals today are mostly serious and sensitive. In more recent films, women are shown achieving independence and determining their own futures to a much greater extent.
The program is divided into five themes: Women in Wartime, Women's Work, Wife and Mother, issues (specifically childcare, multiple roles, overwork, occupational illness, unemployment, single mothers, boredom, frustration, poverty, loneliness and aggression), Changing Opportunities and Relating (which looks broadly at a variety of relationships through the eyes of women).

Any/all of the Opti-Nutra links on this website are affiliate links of which Nootropic Geek receives a percentage commission from sales of certain items. Does this cost anything extra to you, the buyer? No, the price remains the same.
NootropicGeek.com participates in the Opti-Nutra Affiliates Program, an affiliate advertising program designed to provide a means for sites to earn advertising fees by advertising and linking to mindlabpro.com, performancelab.com, or any other Opti-Nutra affiliated links.
Why and Where Do I Use Affiliate Links?
Currently, NootropicGeek.com only receives commission for Opti-Nutra links; although future plans for the Amazon Affiliate program are in the works.
But what is an affiliate link? Essentially, an affiliate link is a url link that directs to a product listing, and that earns me a small commission if you purchase any products as a result of clicking on the affiliate link. Purchasing through an affiliate includes no additional costs for the buyer, yet buying through an affiliate link helps me maintain this site and feed my family.
For simplicity, assume that any link on NootropicGeek.com is an affiliate link and that I may/will make a commission if you purchase through these links (though, again, the price remains the same for you).
If you're considering purchasing a product and would like to support my Nootropic Geek mission to provide helpful, informative, entertaining information on nootropics, I'd be very grateful if you chose to do so through one of the purchasing links attached at the bottom of any respective affiliate supplement reviews!
I recommend products and supplement stacks that I personally use and support, even without attached affiliate links. In fact, most of the supplements I recommend to my readers I am not affiliated with (i.e., I receive no commission earnings for recommending them). My primary goal here is to assist my readers with their nootropic questions and concerns.
Any supplementary (ha ha) income I might make here is simply that: supplementary.
I do not accept free products for review, nor do I recommend any product that I would not personally take or have someone I love take.
For the most part, I limit affiliate links to their respective supplement reviews. For example, the Mind Lab Pro review (link here) supplies an affiliate link at the bottom that directs to mindlabpro.com. As I delve into Amazon Affiliate territory, I'll amend this affiliate disclosure to explain my use of Amazon Affiliate links — however, these will also remain predominantly restricted to supplement reviews.
Affiliate links or no, my priority is to inform my readers on the wild world of nootropics. Any affiliate links I include on this site I use to promote this purpose.
My role in any affiliate programs simply involves providing information on affiliate products and supplying links to where you can buy these products. Any issues with shipping time, product packaging, quality assurance, etc. are on the product's company's end.
In other words, if any problems occur with a particular product purchased through a link on this site, questions and concerns should be directed to the product's company. Having said that, any companies that habitually demonstrate poor customer service or unsafe quality control will have their affiliate links removed from my site.
