Famous people born this month: Morgan Spurlock
Upon first glance, the thing that jumps out about Morgan Spurlock is his moustache. Spurlock has sported the horseshoe moustache for as long as he can remember. Over the years it has become part of his identity, serving as more than just a unique style of facial hair. It characterizes a man for whom "normal" is just another entry in the dictionary and an excuse for a lack of creativity. His work as a documentary filmmaker, screenwriter, and television producer have demonstrated his willingness to push existing boundaries on a quest to expose the raw nature of controversial issues.
Born on Nov. 7, 1970, Morgan Valentine Spurlock was raised in the small town of Beckley, in the southern part of West Virginia. He was exposed to music, literature, and art at an early age by his mother who wanted her children to find their artistic voices. Spurlock graduated from Woodrow Wilson High School in 1989, already set in his intention of becoming a filmmaker. After being denied five times to the film school at USC, he was accepted to the Tisch School of the Arts at New York University.
The idea for his critically acclaimed documentary "Super Size Me," would not come until almost 10 years after graduating from NYU. While at his mother's house in Beckley for Thanksgiving, Spurlock witnessed a report about two girls in New York suing McDonald's for "making them obese."
"Super Size Me" (2004) documented a span of 30 days, during which Spurlock ate at McDonald's three times a day, "super sizing" his meal every time he was asked at the counter. By the end of the 30 days, he had gained 25 pounds, registered dangerously high cholesterol levels, and suffered from bouts of depression. It took him 14 months to return to his original weight after the completion of the film.
His next project, "30 Days," aired on FX in June 2005. The show filmed a person (in some cases Spurlock himself) immersing themselves in a lifestyle completely different from their own for 30 days. A devout Christian living in a Muslim home, a homophobe living with a homosexual, and an honest man serving a month in prison were all filmed for the show.
Most recently, Spurlock's documentary, "Mansome," filmed in 2012, was announced as a spotlight for the Tribeca Film Festival in New York City where he resides with his son, Laken.

The Gorgeous Hussy ist ein US-amerikanischer Spielfilm mit Joan Crawford und Robert Taylor unter der Regie von Clarence Brown. Die Handlung basiert sehr lose auf den Ereignissen rund um die Petticoat Affair, die die Präsidentschaft von Andrew Jackson ins Wanken brachte.

Handlung
Die weitschweifige Handlung beginnt 1823 in Washington, D.C. Major O'Neal betreibt eine beliebte Schankwirtschaft, in der auch Mitglieder der Regierung und hochgestellte Persönlichkeiten verkehren. Eine der Attraktionen ist Peggy, die ebenso hübsche wie schlagfertige Wirtstochter. Ihr natürlicher Charme hat ihr die Freundschaft so bedeutender Männer wie Andrew Jackson, Daniel Webster und John Randolph, dem späteren Senator des Bundesstaates Virginia, eingetragen. Peggy hat sich insgeheim in Randolph verliebt, der in ihr jedoch nur ein hübsches Mädchen, jedoch keine gleichrangige Partnerin erblickt. Eines Tages kommt es zu einem Händel zwischen Randolph und Bow Timberlake, einem gutaussehenden Taugenichts. Peggy und Bow verlieben sich und heiraten, auch durch sanften Druck von Randolph. Bow stirbt jedoch schon kurz nach der Hochzeit. Die junge Witwe Peggy hat wenig Zeit zum Trauern. 1828 wird Andrew Jackson zum US-Präsidenten gewählt und seine kurz vorher verschiedene Ehefrau Rachel hat Peggy auf dem Sterbebett das Versprechen abgenommen, sich um den Präsidenten zu kümmern. Die klatschsüchtige Gesellschaft beginnt bald über die tatsächliche Natur ihrer Beziehung zu tuscheln und böse Gerüchte über eine Liaison machen die Runde.

Peggy trifft auf einem offiziellen Empfang wieder auf John, doch der sich verschärfende Konflikt zwischen den Südstaaten und der Zentralregierung verhindert die Ehe zwischen den Liebenden. Peggy verzichtet großmütig auf John, der einige Monate später angeschossen wird und schließlich in den Armen von Peggy stirbt. Nach einigen weiteren Verwicklungen findet Peggy schließlich Glück in den Armen von John Eaton. Beide gehen als Botschafterpaar nach Spanien, weit weg von der intriganten Gesellschaft in Washington.

Hintergrund
Die Geschichte der Schankwirtstochter Peggy O'Neil, die durch ihre, angeblich stets platonische, Freundschaft zu Andrew Jackson Zugang zu den höchsten Regierungskreisen bekam, sollte zunächst 1934 von RKO mit Katharine Hepburn verfilmt werden. Schließlich kaufte MGM das Drehbuch, das auf der gleichnamigen Erzählung von Samuel Hopkins Adams basiert, als mögliches Vehikel für Jean Harlow und Brian Aherne. Als der Film schließlich in Produktion ging, blieb von den historisch belegten Geschehnissen der sogenannten Petticoat Affair kaum noch etwas erhalten. Bestimmte Tatsachen wurden einfach unterschlagen: Bow Timberlake beging tatsächlich Selbstmord und John Eaton wurde aufgrund der Ehe mit Peggy zum Rücktritt aus dem Kabinett gezwungen. Stattdessen fokussierte sich das Drehbuch auf die ausführliche Schilderung von allerlei – frei erfundenem – Liebesleid.

Für Joan Crawford, die in den letzten Tagen des Stummfilms in Flapperrollen wie Our Dancing Daughters zu Ruhm gelangt war, sollte The Gorgeous Hussy ein Schritt in Richtung dramatischer Schauspielerin werden. Auf Anraten ihres zweiten Ehemanns Franchot Tone war Crawford zunehmend bestrebt, intellektuell anspruchsvolle Rollen zu spielen. Nach einigen Erfahrungen im Radio mit Adaptionen von Klassikern wie Nora oder Ein Puppenheim, verlangte sie vom Studio die Rolle in einem Kostümdrama. Filme über historische Persönlichkeiten galten seit Aufkommen des Tonfilms als echte Herausforderung für jeden Schauspieler von Format und die Mitwirkung war mit viel Prestige verbunden. Manche Schauspieler wie George Arliss und Paul Muni hatten fast ihre ganze Karriere in aufwändig produzierten Biographien zugebracht. Gegen den Rat ihrer Freunde, darunter auch David O. Selznick, die meinten, sie sei in Krinoline und Korsett schlicht fehlbesetzt und viel besser in modernen Sujets aufgehoben, übernahm sie am Ende die Rolle der Peggy.

The Gorgeous Hussy wurde mit erheblichem Aufwand produziert. Gilbert Adrian entwarf einige seiner opulentesten Kostüme, die sich allerdings nur vage an der tatsächlichen Damenmode der Zeit orientierten. Um den Erwartungen der – überwiegend – weiblichen Fans zu genügen, erscheint Joan Crawford, auch als arme Wirtstochter ohne eigenes Einkommen, in jeder Szene in einem neuen, aufwändigen Kleid mit passender Frisur. Die von den Fans verlangten romantischen Verwicklungen brachten es mit sich, dass insgesamt 5 männliche Co-Stars an der Seite von Crawford agieren.

Die Schauspielerin bereute in späteren Jahren die Mitwirkung an dem Film.

Kinoauswertung
Der Film kam am 28. August 1936 in den nationalen Verleih. Vergleichsweise hohe Kosten von insgesamt 1.119.000 US-Dollar machten aus The Gorgeous Hussy eine Prestigeproduktion. Der Film war, entgegen der weitverbreiteten Meinung, an der Kinokasse sehr erfolgreich und spielte in den USA mit 1.458.000 US-Dollar eine hohe Summe ein, was ein Indiz für die unverändert hohe große Popularität von Joan Crawford bei ihren Fans war. Mit den Auslandseinnahmen von 651.000 US-Dollar und einem kumulierten Gesamtergebnis von 2.019.000 US-Dollar erwies sich The Gorgeous Hussy als einer der erfolgreichsten Film von Crawford. Am Ende konnte das Studio aufgrund der hohen Kosten nur einen Gewinn von 116.000 US-Dollar realisieren, was dem niedrigsten Wert für einen Crawford-Film seit Rain von 1932 entsprach.

Kritiken
Die Kritiker beurteilten Film einhellig als langweilig, fade und banal. Joan Crawford wurde heftig kritisiert, eine Rolle übernommen zu haben, für die sie von ihrer Persönlichkeit her völlig ungeeignet sei. Auch wurde bemängelt, dass dem Anspruch der Fans nach Glamour die historische Glaubwürdigkeit geopfert werden würde.

Frank Nugent schrieb in der New York Times spitzfindig:

Howard Barnes in der New York Herald Tribune brachte die Bedenken auf den Punkt:

Auszeichnungen
Der Film erhielt auf der Oscarverleihung 1937 Nominierungen in den Kategorien
 Beste Nebendarstellerin – Beulah Bondi
 Beste Kamera – George Folsey

Etihad Airways is further strengthening its relations with other carriers from the Middle East. A week after announcing intentions to establish a low cost airline together with Air Arabia, the Dubai-based airline is now advancing its one year strong partnership with its Saudi Arabian partner ‒ Saudia.
Etihad Airways and Saudia have first entered a partnership in October 2018. Now, one year in, the airlines are advancing their cooperation with a launch of twelve new codeshare routes to what is called "key destinations" in Asia and Europe, Etihad has announced via a statement on October 22, 2019.
As per the new agreement, Saudia intends to progressively add its code to Etihad flights between Abu Dhabi and eleven destinations in Europe and Asia, the statement reads. The concerned flights in Europe are to Dublin, Amsterdam and Brussels, while in Asia the destinations include Baku, Hong Kong, Kathmandu, Seoul and two destinations in both Thailand (Bangkok and Phuket) and Japan (Nagoya and Tokyo).
The deal remains subject to regulatory approvals.
"Since announcing our partnership at this time last year, we have jointly achieved more than 53,500 passenger journeys, five times the 11,390 for the whole of 2018," Tony Douglas, Group Chief Executive Officer of Etihad Aviation Group is quoted in the October 22 statement as saying.
On October 16, 2019, Etihad together with another Middle Eastern partner Air Arabia, announced intentions to launch an independent joint venture. The two companies plan to create Abu Dhabi's first low-cost airline with a hub at, you guessed it, Abu Dhabi. The new airline is to be called Air Arabia Abu Dhabi.

England is a country that is part of the United Kingdom. It shares land borders with Scotland to the north and Wales to the west; the Irish Sea is to the north west, the Celtic Sea to the south west and the North Sea to the east, with the English Channel to the south separating it from continental Europe. Most of England comprises the central and southern part of the island of Great Britain in the North Atlantic. The country also includes over 100 smaller islands such as the Isles of Scilly and the Isle of Wight.
France has been the world's most popular tourist destination for over twenty years. It received 83 million visitors in 2012, although these figures are highly skewed by the number of people who frequent the country for the weekend, particularly to visit Disneyland Paris, Europe's most popular visitor attraction. All these people come to France for many a reason: its cities contain some of the greatest treasures on the continent, its countryside is prosperous and well-tended and it boasts dozens of major tourist attractions. France is one of the most geographically diverse countries in Europe, containing areas as different from each other as urban chic Paris, the sunny French Riviera, long Atlantic beaches, the winter sports resorts of the French Alps, the castles of the Loire Valley, rugged Celtic Brittany and the historian's dream that is Normandy. The country seduces travellers with its unfalteringly familiar culture, woven around cafe terraces, village-square markets and lace-curtained bistros with their plat du jour chalked on the board. France citizens enjoy a high standard of living, and the country performs well in international rankings of education, health care, life expectancy, civil liberties, and human development.

Having grown up in the North part of our great city, I know that we have an exceptionally strong community and a bond that binds our community together. That is something that is reflected in our school, both on the playground and in the classroom. The children at Burnwood are bright, full of life, and most importantly - kind children. The children are of course a product of their home lives and the teaching they receive in the classroom. But we also have a strong team of Governors that exists to support and scrutinize staff at the school, and to work alongside and with the children to ensure, in fitting with our school motto that they work together to achieve their best.
The team of governors split into areas based on their own expertise and passions. We have two committees that look at our School Resources and the Standards that we, and you, expect. We also meet three times a year as a full team to review and plan the previous and next terms.
Governors make decisions on how the school should be ran, but more importantly, we volunteer to make the school a safe and warm learning environment.
We are open and inclusive - please feel free to contact us at any time, via e mail or via the school
