Benjamin Marlow

Admiral Hon. Benjamin William Marlow, KB (1715-1795), known as Admiral Marlow, was a British flag officer in the Royal Navy.
Early Life and Career.
Benjamin William Marlow was born into a minor aristocratic family in Salisbury, Wiltshire, in 1715, the first of five children. His father, Thomas William Marlow, was himself an officer in the Royal Navy.
It is entirely probable that Marlow was commissioned at a young age as a midshipman into the Royal Navy, however the records of his commissioning as such are no longer extant. Following his Lieutenants Examinations Marlow was commissioned as a Fourth Lieutenant in 1743 and posted on board HMS Grafton, a third rate ship of the line of 70 guns under the command of Captain Edward Allen in Jamaica.
In 1744 Marlow survived a shipwreck on board the Grafton which killed Captain Allen and many of the crew. Later that year Marlow was posted on board HMS Assistance, a fourth rate ship of the line of 50 guns, receiving a promotion to Third Lieutenant. Marlow spent less than a year on board the Assistance before once again receiving a promotion to First Lieutenant and posted to HMS Falmouth, a fourth rate ship of the line of 50 guns.
The Battle of Minorca and the Trial of Admiral Byng.
In 1756 Marlow was promoted to captain and given command of HMS "Dolphin", a frigate attached to the general fleet of Admiral Byng. Shortly after his posting Marlow’s "Dolphin" was dispatched along with Byng’s fleet to Minorca. When the fleet, numbering some 13 ships, many of which were undermanned and poorly maintained, arrived on 19 May and found the island overrun by French troops, with only the garrison of St. Philip’s Castle in Part Mahon holding out. Byng had received orders to relieve the garrison, but a French squadron of 12 ships of the line and 5 frigates intervened as the afternoon was wearing on. The two fleets positioned themselves, and battle was drawn up on the morning of the following day.
Facing 12 French ships of the line, Byng formed his 12 largest ships into a single line of battle with an auxiliary line of sixth rates and sloops (including Marlow’s Dolphin) parallel to the main line at the south west. During the ensuing battle the ships of the line took a considerable battering, and were left unrelieved by their auxiliaries. Byng displayed considerable caution and over-reliance on standard fighting procedures which ultimately prevented the "Dolphin" coming into effective cannon range of the French squadron. Several ships on both sides of the conflict were left damaged, and, following a Council of War at which Marlow was present, it was agreed that the fleet stood no chance of further damaging the French ships of relieving the garrison. Byng therefore gave orders to return to Gibraltar.
While the battle itself was largely indecisive, in the absence of a clear British victory it was described as a defeat. The Admiralty charged Byng for breaching the Articles of War by failing to do all he could to fulfil his orders and support the garrison; he was court-martialled, found guilty and sentenced to death. Marlow was present at the trial and gave testimony as a witness. Despite the pleas of Marlow and others for clemency, Byng was executed on 14 March 1775 aboard HMS Monarch in Portsmouth harbour.
The Battle of the Firth of Forth and Pondicherry.
Despite his involvement in the Battle of Minorca, Marlow was acquitted of any wrongdoing and retained his command. He assisted HMS Hussar under Captain John Elliot in the sinking of the French ship Alcion with all hands after a two hour night action on 23 November 1757. In the same year he captured the Marquis de Barrail off Dunkirk. He was awarded with the freedom of the City of Aberdeen for his protection of the coast and local trade.
On 21 May 1758, Marlow discovered the French ship Belle-Isle under the command of the famous Francois Thurot while put into the port of Leith in the Firth of Forth. The two Royal Navy sloops of war that were there, HMS Dolphin (24 guns, Capt. Benjamin Marlow) and HMS Solebay (20 guns, Capt. Robert Craig), accompanied by two small reconnaissance vessels, went out to track down the intruder, catching sight of the Belle-Isle off Red Head (between Arbroath and Montrose) early on the morning of 27 May. They were some distance apart, and Thurot at first thought they were merchant vessels, so he went to engage the Dolphin. As the Belle-Isle easily outgunned the Marlow’s vessel, he continued the attack even after discovering the true nature of his opponent, and action commenced about 8 a.m. Marlow fought alone for about an hour and a half, suffering considerable damage; and when Solebay arrived, Marlow was no longer able to offer much help. Casualties aboard Solebay were heavier than aboard Dolphin including a serious wound to Captain Craig's throat. In the end, though, Thurot could not force either of the Royal Navy vessels to surrender, so the battle ended about noon with both sides limping away. Nineteen men were dead, and thirty-four wounded aboard the Belle-Isle, while Dolphin and Solebay reported six killed and twenty-eight wounded between them. Captain Craig's wound did not heal well, and he retired on 25 January 1759.
Marlow requested a court martial into his conduct, believing that despite the significant superiority in firepower and speed of the French vessel, he may have been able to pursue the Belle-Isle into the North Sea proper. The court martial honourably acquitted him after a brief hearing.
Following the Battle of the Firth of Forth Marlow was engaged in cruising and conveyancing of trade to North America. During this time he became acquainted with the young Horatio Nelson, when in early 1776 Nelson contracted malaria, became seriously ill and was returned to England aboard Marlow’s ship. Nelson spent the six-month voyage recuperating and had almost recovered by the time he arrived in Britain in September 1776.
Marlow went on to command HMS Prince, a ship of the line of 90 guns in the Grand Fleet, and subsequently took HMS Coventry, 28 guns, out to the East indies. Here he remained for the next seven years, being present at the action with the French off Pondicherry.
Following this Marlow was promoted to flag captain to Commodore Sir Edward Vernon aboard the Rippon in the East Indies, returning home to the Downs in March 1781, where he discovered that in his absence he had been promoted by the Admiralty to rear-admiral on 26 September 1780.
Later life.
Having accomplished an impressive record of service, Marlow did not see any further action but remained with the Grand Fleet, stationed out of Portsmouth. He was advanced to vice-admiral on 24 September 1787 and admiral on 12th April 1794. He died at Hampstead in 1795 and was buried at Alverstoke, Hampshire. A memorial to his memory was erected at a commemoration service held in Salisbury Cathedral.
Personal life.
Marlow was married to Lydia Hamond and together they bore several children, notably his first son, also named William Marlow who went on to become a significant figure in his own right within the military.
Legacy.
Marlow is significant among his peers both because of his exemplary record in service and his innovative approach to leadership and training.
Marlow is generally considered the first officer of the Royal Navy to suggest that it may be more pragmatic an approach to train midshipmen and young officers together in groups, where they might more easily grasp the fundamentals of mathematics, navigation and seamanship, rather than, as had been the practice, to commission midshipmen straight into the fleet and expecting them to ‘learn on the job’. Marlow was known for taking groups of midshipmen on board his vessels and insisting on time spent every day as a class learning these fundamentals. It is probable that during his time on board HMS Dolphin under the command of Marlow, Nelson benefitted from this approach. As such he is generally considered the origin of the system of the British Naval College, the model for training young officers for the fleet which the Royal Navy retains to this day and which has spread around the world.
The Royal Navy continues to support the Marlow Society, which seeks to preserve this goal.


Bob Clark (catcher)

Robert H. Clark (March 18, 1863 – August 21, 1919) was a 19th-century Major League Baseball catcher. He played from 1886 to 1893 for the Brooklyn Grays/Bridegrooms, Cincinnati Reds and Louisville Colonels. He appeared in the post-season World Series with Brooklyn twice, in 1889 and 1890.
Clark died in Covington, Kentucky on August 21, 1919 from burns he suffered in a chemical explosion at a Cincinnati factory several months earlier.


Vern Voorhees

Vern Voorhees was a member of the Michigan House of Representatives. He was one of six members of the state House killed in the Kerns Hotel fire in Lansing on December 11, 1934. Also killed were representatives Charles D. Parker, T. Henry Howlett, John W. Goodwine, Don E. Sias, and D. Knox Hanna, along with state senator John Leidlein. The men were in Lansing for a special session of the Michigan legislature.


Marcus Pedo Vergilianus

Marcus Pedo Vergilianus was consul at the beginning of AD 115, during the reign of Trajan. He died in an earthquake toward the end of that year.
Career.
Vergilianus was a Roman senator early in the second century. In the year 115, he was consul "ordinarius", serving for the month of January, with Lucius Vipstanus Messalla as his colleague. Vergilianus resigned at the end of the month, and was succeeded by Titus Statilius Maximus Severus Hadrianus, who served alongside Messalla through the end of April.
Vergilianus is best known for having been killed in the earthquake that struck Antioch toward the end of the year. The city and the surrounding region suffered tremendous damage, and the emperor Trajan, who was at Antioch preparing for a campaign against the Parthians, barely escaped death by climbing out the window of the house where he was staying, sustaining only minor injuries. Although implied by Cassius Dio to have died during his term of office, Vergilianus must have resigned by the kalends of February, when his successor was inaugurated, while the earthquake occurred on December 13. Thus, while Vergilianus was of consular rank, he was not serving as consul at the time of his death, and was probably at Antioch as part of Trajan's retinue.
Nomenclature.
Although a relatively obscure figure in Roman history, Vergilianus has received additional scrutiny due to the uncertainty surrounding his proper name. In epigraphy, he is referred to variously as "Marcus Pedo Vergilianus" or "Marcus Vergilianus Pedo"; other inscriptions refer to him simply as "Pedo", or as "Vergilianus". However, it is almost certain that these names do not comprise his complete nomenclature. "Pedo" is a Roman surname, or cognomen, not a "nomen gentilicium", and while some share the morphology of "Vergilianus", this is probably an agnomen, a type of surname indicating the consul's descent from the Vergilia gens. In imperial times, it was not uncommon for members of the Roman aristocracy to possess extended and occasionally cumbersome nomenclature, indicating their descent from different illustrious families. These names could be rearranged by the bearer at will, and nomenclature was frequently abbreviated for convenience. Even under the Roman Republic, nomina were occasionally omitted for persons whose gentes could be inferred from familiar surnames.
Werner Eck concludes that Vergilianus was probably a member of the Popilia gens, based on the similarity of his name with several members of that family who achieved prominence during the second century, including Gaius Popilius Carus Pedo, consul at the end of 147, Popilius Pedo Apronianus, consul in 191, and Marcus Popilius Pedo, one of the Salii Palatini. This reasoning is followed by "Prosopographia Imperii Romani", and noted by both Olli Salomies and Ronald Syme, although elsewhere Syme mentions that "Pompeius" is also a possibility, since a consular by the name of "Pompeius Pedo" had been executed by Claudius.


Guntucky

Guntucky is an American television reality series produced by Leftfield Pictures. "Guntucky" revolves around the Sumner family, who own and operate a gun range. The family keeps the gun range running for their customers by selling various legal firearms, from cannons to machine guns. The series was originally expected to premiere on CMT on January 26, 2013, but was pulled from the CMT schedule after the Sandy Hook Elementary School shooting. It was then re-added and premiered April 21, 2013.
Background.
The series follows the Sumner family who own and operate the Knob Creek Gun Range, a gun range in Bullitt County, Kentucky. The family keeps the gun range running by purchasing guns from customers who come to the range and selling various firearms, from cannons to machine guns. Many of the episodes in the series follow a similar format. For example, in most of the episodes, the Sumner family must take on some kind of request for a customer, usually very odd requests.


Bossu Revolver

The Bossu Revolver was a Velo-dog revolver of Belgian origin.
Manufacture d’armes Lepage produced one, as did HDH.


List of storms on the Great Lakes

Ever since people have traveled the Great Lakes, storms have taken lives and vessels. The first sailing vessel on the upper lakes, the "Le Griffon", was lost on its return from Green Bay in 1679. Since that time, memorable storms have swept the lakes, often in the month of November, taking men and ships to their death. With the advent of modern technology and sturdier vessels, fewer such losses have occurred. The large expanse of the lakes allows waves to build to substantial heights and the open water can alter weather systems (fog, lake effect snow). Storm winds can alter the lakes as well with large systems causing storm surges that lower lake levels several feet on one side while raising it even higher on the other. The shallowest lake, Lake Erie, sometimes sees storm surge rises of 8 or 10 feet. Seiches cause short-term irregular lake level changes, killing people swept off beaches and piers and even sometimes sinking boats The great tolls caused by Great Lakes storms in 1868 and 1869 were one of the main reasons behind establishing a national weather forecasting service, initially run by the U.S. Army Signal Corps using telegraphs to announce approaching storms in a few port cities.
Lake Erie Gale (1811).
It was September 1811 and Jacob Butler was headed to Sandusky, Ohio as the new Indian Agent. When he arrived in Buffalo, he found it to be a small town of 40-50 houses and little activity. There were but a few ships in the harbor. The "Catherine" was a new schooner that had set sail the day before, but was now anchored nine miles up the Canadian shore at Point Ebenew. As it had set sail, it encountered a west wind forcing it to seek shelter. Seeing an opportunity to avoid the long trip around the lake, he crossed the Niagara River and with the help of a guide came upon the ship at anchor after two hours. Soon they were underway with a steady breeze pushing them towards Sandusky.
The ship was packed and every possible space in which a person could find repose was occupied. All night they traveled westward, the ship pushed by the wind and the schooner rocking from side to side. With so many people, so closely packed, many became nauseated. The next day, they traveled westward. As night fell on their second day of travel, they expected to see Sandusky in the morning. Everyone had just settled down for the night, when a commotion arose and a gale blew out of the southwest, nearly tipping the vessel over. If the schooner had not been ‘hove to’ and resting quietly, it would have been capsized. (Without shore lights, lighthouse, or modern navigation equipment, Captains would ‘heave to’ at night if they anticipated approaching land/harbor soon. This prevented them from running aground in the dark.)
Quickly the crew made the "Catherine" ready for the storm and let her drift before the winds. As daylight came, the captain was able to get his ship behind Presque Isle (Erie, Pennsylvania), where they rode out the storm for the next 24 hours. The winds persisted so fiercely that everything on deck was swept clear. The crew and passengers remained below deck in the dark, their supply of food gone. On the fourth day of his journey, the gale ended and they were able to resupply from shore. Setting sail for Sandusky, the hope was to make harbor by dark. Once again a gale of lesser force sprang up and pushed the vessel back to Presque Isle. Here, many of the passengers left the ship and hired a wagon for the two-week overland trip. On their next attempt to reach Sandusky, the "Catherine" made harbor without incident.
Storm in the age of canoes (1825).
It was September 1825 when Henry Rowe Schoolcraft recorded a late fall storm on Lake Huron. He was returning from an Indian ‘Congress’ at Prairie du Chien, Wisconsin. It had been an uneventful six-day trip from the Mississippi River to Michilimackinac. From Mackinac, Schoolcraft was headed towards Detour Pass and up the St. Mary's River to Sault Ste. Marie. On the morning of 5 September, he arose, had breakfast and prepared to strike out in their canoes. The day was cloudy and threatening, so he decided to wait until the next day. Arising at three in the morning, he found the island lost in a fog. They waited until it began to clear at 6:30 a.m. and made their way to Goose Island, distance after three hours. From there, they made their way to Outard Point. Here, the headwind had increased so they hove to about noon and were able to pull into an inlet out of the wind and make camp. Eight hours later, the canoe party was still waiting for the wind to let up. The night brought a heavy rain, piercing the fabric of the tents, soaking everyone and everything. The morning of the 7th found the storm continuing. The increasing violence caused Schoolcraft to have his tent moved back into the trees for more protection. Around three, the sky seemed to be brightening and expectations were that the weather was clearing. But the rains and the wind came with renewed fury from the west and continued late into the night. As the morning of the 8th arrived, Schoolcraft determined to get on with his journey. As the wind was directly out of the west, he was headed east, he ordered the canoes readied and the sails. With sails reefed against the storm, the brigade set out into the lake at 10:00 a.m. Just under three and a half hours brought them 20 miles to the Isle St. Vital, behind which they took refuge from the wind. After a break, they once again set into the gale-force winds, driving for De Tour and the St. Mary's Strait. Here they found the schooner "Harriet", down bound, waiting for the winds to subside. It was but another day and they were once again at Sault Ste. Marie.
Early steam on the Lakes (1835).
On November 11, 1835, a southwest wind swept across the lakes, taking numerous vessels. This was still early in the life of commercial shipping on the Lakes, so most of the losses were on the lower lakes where settlements were greatest.
Buffalo was a major port on Lake Erie and felt the force of the storm as water from the lake forced ships onto the piers and shoreline of the city. The creek rose 20 feet as the wind and the harbor front were swept away.
The 1905 Blow (1905).

Munroe Bergdorf

Munroe Bergdorf (; born September 1987) is an English model and activist. She has walked several catwalks for brands including Gypsy Sport at both London and NYC Fashion Weeks. Bergdorf was the first transgender model in the UK for L'Oréal, but was dropped within weeks after a racial row. In February 2018, she was appointed as an LGBT adviser to the Labour Party, but resigned the following month. Bergdorf appeared in the Channel 4 documentary "What Makes A Woman", which aired in May 2018.
Bergdorf won ‘Changemaker of the Year’ at the 2018 Cosmopolitan Awards, and was awarded an honorary doctorate in 2019 by the University of Brighton. She joined UN Women UK as an advocate in 2019, supporting its #DrawALine campaign, aiming to put a stop to female genital mutilation (FGM).
Early life.
Bergdorf was born and grew up in Stansted Mountfitchet, Essex. Bergdorf is mixed-race, born to an Afro-Jamaican father and a white English mother. Bergdorf attended Bentfield County Primary School in Stansted Mountfitchet and then The Bishop's Stortford High School, an all-boys' school. Bergdorf describes growing up as a "very effeminate boy". Later, she studied English at the University of Brighton, describing herself there as genderqueer.
Bergdorf then worked for three years in fashion PR. At the age of 24, Bergdorf began gender transitioning, and was the subject of an episode of London Live show "Drag Queens of London".
Around the same time that Bergdorf was transitioning, she co-founded nightclub Pussy Palace.
Modelling.
Bergdorf became involved in modelling after being motivated by the lack of diversity in the industry. Her first modelling job was for a Lebanese couture company. In 2014, the "London Evening Standard" referred to her as "a cornerstone of London's trans scene." She told the newspaper that she was "so vocal" on trans issues because she sees it as "the new frontier", an issue being brought into public consciousness through the work of trans women like Laverne Cox and Carmen Carrera.
She came to public attention in August 2017 when she was employed as the first transgender model to front a L'Oréal campaign in the UK, being announced as one of 27 models taking part in L'Oréal UK's "True Match" campaign. On her social media, she stated: "Thank you L’Oréal Paris for giving me this platform. I hope it reaches another little eight-year-old trans girl and makes her feel a little more hopeful and a little less scared about her future, than what was installed in me when I was her age." Elsewhere she stated: "I definitely set out to empower girls like me."
Racial controversy.
In February 2017, Bergdorf stated that 'white people as a group are brought up racist', stating: "most of y’all don’t even realise or refuse to acknowledge that your existence, privilege and success as a race is built on the backs, blood and death of people of colour." Bergdorf attracted further public attention following an article in "The Daily Mail" highlighting Facebook comments that she had made, which included the claim that all white people were guilty of "racial violence" and that the white race was "the most violent and oppressive force of nature on Earth." In response to Bergdorf's comments, L'Oréal dropped her from their campaign on 1 September 2017. They issued a statement that the company "supports diversity and tolerance towards all people irrespective of their race, background, gender and religion" and that Bergdorf's comments about white people were "at odds with those values". Facebook removed her posts from their website, regarding them as being in contravention to its rules against hate speech. Bergdorf said she also faced online harassment, much of it of a racist and transphobic nature. Other commentators argued that "The Daily Mail" had quoted her out of context, and that her wider point about white supremacy and white privilege in Western societies was valid and needed wider dissemination. Bergdorf defended her position, arguing that she was angry after the scenes in the Unite the Right rally in Charlottesville and wanted to explain that racism was systemic, and that being racist was not just about attacking people, but failing to take action against the system. She added: "I don't see how calling out the roots of racism, somehow makes you a racist", calling the controversy the "worst time of my life".
In September 2017, the UK-based Illamasqua hired Bergdorf as the face of its Beauty Spotlight campaign, which concerned gender fluidity. In a statement, the company described Bergdorf as embodying "diversity and individuality; she is not scared to be truly herself." It added that it did not "stand or accept any form of racism, but we also believe Munroe’s comments have been edited out of context by a certain media title (who we won't bother naming) without telling a true story".
In June 2020, during the international George Floyd protests, Bergdorf called out L'Oréal Paris for posting on Instagram that they stood in solidarity with the Black community. She noted that she had never received an apology from L'Oréal. In response, the company announced that they would create and appoint Bergdorf to a U.K. Diversity & Inclusion Advisory Board. Bergdorf shared on Instagram a number of abusive messages she received on that platform following her appointment.
Activism.
The same month she was hired by Illamasqua, Bergdorf gave a verbal performance of Maya Angelou's poem "Still I Rise" for a short film directed by Bec Evans and Laura Kirwan-Ashman.
In February 2018, she was appointed as an LGBT adviser to the Labour Party, which she resigned from the following month after homophobic and misogynistic Twitter posts from 2010 received attention. Bergdorf apologised for her past comments. Bergdorf later blamed "Conservative media" for using her as a "political pawn to bring down Jeremy Corbyn" and that the Labour LGBT advisory board was being targeted to be shut down, stating "when I left they went after somebody else, and then when that person left they went after somebody else" in order to "discredit Jeremy Corbyn".
As of April 2019, she has made frequent appearances as a guest commentator on ITV's "Good Morning Britain" and "This Morning".
In June 2019, Bergdorf was stripped of her role as an ambassador for Childline two days after being appointed, when journalist Janice Turner and others questioned her suitability for the post as somebody who had modelled for adult magazine "Playboy". Several days later, the NSPCC offered Bergdorf a 'full, frank and unreserved apology' for the way in which it had handled her dismissal. The NSPCC's CEO, Peter Wanless, explained that Bergdorf had been dismissed 'because of her public statements, which we felt would mean that she was in breach of our own risk assessments and undermine what we are here to do'.
In July 2019, Bergdorf was awarded an honorary doctorate from the University of Brighton in recognition of her campaigning for transgender rights.
In February 2021, Bergdorf deleted her activism-based Twitter account, releasing a public statement asking when social media companies will "clamp down" on transphobia. Bergdorf stated: "No one should have to endure even a fraction of the abuse that I am exposed to and have to put up with on a daily basis," and concluded that she was "tired of being a punching bag. Twitter is not a safe app for transgender people."

Kligman worked for over three years as a criminal trial lawyer in the San Diego County public defender's office, handling 35 criminal jury trials. He started his own criminal defense firm in 1999.
In 1998 he founded Total Sports Care Management and began acquiring clients in his free time. Deciding to combine his affinities for law and sports, in 2000 he was certified by the Major League Baseball Players Association as a sports agent. His services include contract negotiations and player marketing. His clients are players at both the Minor League and Major League level, and NCAA Division I coaches. His Major League clients have included Carlos Ruiz (Philadelphia Phillies), Justin Bour (Philadelphia Phillies), Rob Scahill (Colorado Rockies), and Chris Heston (San Francisco Giants).
Kligman serves as a guest arbiter in the annual National Baseball Arbitration Competition hosted by the Tulane Sports Law Society.
Other activities.
After relocating from San Diego to Las Vegas in 2013, Kligman established two independent baseball club teams for 10-year-old and 12-year-old boys, which his two sons joined. Kligman both administers and coaches the teams.
Personal life.
During his time at law school, Kligman was introduced to the Chabad community at Tulane University and became interested in Orthodox Jewish observance. He began observing Shabbat and keeping kosher after moving to San Diego, eventually wearing a kippah full-time. He was a baal korei (Torah reader) for the Chabad of University City, taught a weekly Torah class, and founded a "Monday Lunch and Learn" at a local kosher restaurant.
Being Shomer Shabbat, he does not answer calls on Shabbat or attend baseball games on Shabbat and Jewish holidays. This has precluded his attendance at some of the Major League debuts of his clients, including Philadelphia Phillies catcher Carlos Ruiz, who made his debut on a Friday night in May 2006, and Mike Zagurski, who played his first game with the Phillies on Shavuot 2007. Kligman believes that some of his clients who are devoted Christians "feel comfortable with a man of religious values". When the Winter Meetings occur during the Hanukkah holiday, he organizes candle lighting for Jewish attendees.
Kligman and his wife Leah, also an attorney, have two sons and one daughter. In 2017 Kligman hosted many of his clients and other MLB players for his son's Bar Mitzvah at The D Casino Hotel.
Kligman has a first-degree black belt in taekwondo and a Practitioner 4 rank in Krav Maga.

At this time, she moved out of her parents' house and explored entrepreneurship opportunities. Since young adulthood, she has been a well-respected member of the ball community.
Career.
Acting.
Scott became an internet celebrity when videos of her performing as part of ballrooms were uploaded to YouTube. She then became "Insta-famous" following the posting of a before-and-after photo which contrasted her young self, styled as male, and her current self, the self-actualized female.
In 2015, it was announced that Scott had been added to the cast of "The Real Housewives of Atlanta" for its eighth season; she was the first transgender woman to be cast in the "Real Housewives" franchise. Scott later left the show, stating that she was offended by the way the producers wanted her to behave, which she believed would have been an exploitation of her trans identity. Producers on Bravo later claimed the reason Scott was not on the show anymore was because her transgender identity was "not enough to make [her] interesting."
Shortly after her departure from "Housewives", Scott was cast by Lee Daniels in the show "Star"; this became Scott's first acting role.

Lindsey Vuolo

Lindsey Eve (Vuolo) Handrinos (born October 19, 1981) is an American glamor model and actress best known for her appearance in "Playboy" as the November 2001 Playmate of the Month. She has appeared in a number of "Playboy Special Editions", and in "Playboy" videos. She also appeared on TV shows such as "The Girls Next Door" and "The Celebrity Apprentice".
Early life.
Vuolo's family was Jewish from Hungary and Italy. She was a Communications major at Indiana University of Pennsylvania. In 1999 she went on a two-week exchange program in Israel, and describes her experience at the Western Wall as a profoundly emotional and transformative one for her.
Career.
Prior to her posing for "Playboy", Vuolo had been working two jobs as a cocktail waitress to pay for college when a friend and coworker suggested sending in photos to the magazine. Despite Vuolo's belief that she was not ""Playboy" material", Vuolo, whose only modeling experience at that point was posing for a local swimsuit calendar, eventually told her coworker that she could send in photos of her if she wanted. After "Playboy" contacted Vuolo in early 2001, she flew to Los Angeles without telling her parents. She was photographed at the magazine's Santa Monica studios while sharing a bedroom at the Playboy Mansion with Christi Shake, "Playboy"'s Miss May 2002 and one of Hugh Hefner's seven girlfriends at the time. After returning home and informing her mother of her recent activities, Hefner invited her back to the mansion for his 75th birthday party that April.
Vuolo's pictorial appeared in the November 2001 issue of "Playboy". Some have incorrectly claimed that Vuolo is the first Jewish Playmate. Vuolo herself has agreed it is more likely that she merely is the first "openly" Jewish Playmate. Photos of her 1994 bat mitzvah ceremony at age 13 were included in her pictorial. The fact that she attended synagogue while she was active with "Playboy" led to a fair amount of media attention, including an interview with columnist Shmuley Boteach, who criticized Vuolo for her pictorial, and argued that she was exploited by "Playboy", and that it and pornography in general dehumanizes women, and could lead to things like rape and spousal violence. Boteach paralleled the effects of pornography on men's perception of women with American slavery and The Holocaust. Vuolo challenged this view, saying that "Playboy" is not pornography, and that her experience with the magazine was one of expansion of her career opportunities, and not exploitation. Vuolo's membership in her college sorority was also revoked as a result of her pictorial.
Vuolo has starred in several "Playboy" features and was a recurring model for several years in "Playboy"'s special edition magazines, such as "Voluptuous Vixens". She was also photographed by Howard Stern's sidekick Artie Lange for a nude pictorial in the "Celebrity Photographer" section of their website.
In late 2006 Vuolo guest-starred in two episodes of the second season of the E! reality television series "The Girls Next Door", which chronicled life at the Playboy Mansion for three of Hefner's girlfriends. Vuolo appeared in the seventh episode that season, "Sleepwear Optional", in which she was one of the invited guests at a slumber party thrown by Holly Madison, Bridget Marquardt and Kendra Wilkinson, and in the eleventh episode, "The 21 Club", in which Vuolo was one of Wilkinson's Playmate friends who took a bus with her to Las Vegas, where Wilkinson celebrated her 21st birthday.
Vuolo appeared in the second season premiere of "The Celebrity Apprentice", which aired March 1, 2009. In the episode, Brande Roderick, a former Playboy Playmate herself, and a member of that season's all-female team, Athena, enlisted "Playboy" employees at the magazine's Manhattan headquarters to help her team sell cupcakes. Vuolo appeared in a red Playboy bunny outfit in order to assist in the effort.
Personal life.
Vuolo herself says she is a practicing Jew, who observes the High Holy Days. She considers herself to be a practitioner of Conservative Judaism. At the time of her interview with Rabbi Boteach, she had a Jewish boyfriend, and had never dated a non-Jewish man, saying she would prefer not to do so. She later stated in a lifestylemagazine.com interview that she would not marry a non-Jew, saying, "I'm terrified that once my maternal grandfather passes away, no one will know how to recite the Passover Haggadah. It's very important for me to marry someone who can do that, and that my children know how too."
Vuolo does not drink or smoke.
Vuolo married Jason Handrinos in Athens, Greece in 2013.

Miss March

Miss March is a 2009 American comedy film written, starring, and directed by Trevor Moore and Zach Cregger, stars of the IFC show "The Whitest Kids U' Know". The film was released in the United States on March 13, 2009.
Plot.
The movie begins with Eugene (Zach Cregger) and his best friend Tucker (Trevor Moore) as kids. They sneak into the bedroom closet of Eugene's brother, as he recently acquired a valuable Michael Jordan rookie card. Upon opening the box the card was in, Tucker notices that Eugene's brother has an issue of "Playboy". Tucker opens the magazine, instantly becoming obsessed with it. Three weeks later, Tucker's demeanor has changed to that of a hormone driven teenager, despite the fact that he is only 8 years old.
Now a senior in high school, Tucker is still a huge fan of the Playboy franchise, while Eugene and his girlfriend of two years, Cindi Whitehall (Raquel Alessi) are public speakers on the subject of abstinence for younger teens. Cindi, however, has other plans, stating that since they have been together for two years, if she is not Eugene's first then they have big problems.
Eugene agrees to have sex with Cindi at the after prom party that Tucker has invited them to. On the day of prom, Tucker tells Eugene that he has the limo booked, which when pulls up, has already picked up Tucker's high school drop-out friend, Phil, who now goes by the MC name of Horsedick.MPEG (Craig Robinson). At the After Prom party, Cindi goes upstairs to prepare, while Tucker takes Eugene into the kitchen and gives him several shots of hard alcohol. As Eugene leaves to go upstairs to meet Cindi, he walks through the wrong door, and falls down the steps into the basement. He is hurt so bad, that he falls into a coma for four years.
After Tucker wakes Eugene with a baseball bat, he tells him that Cindi stuck around for a little while, but disappeared shortly thereafter because Eugene was "a vegetable." Tucker left Eugene to continue his recovery as Tucker went to work. He came back later to visit Eugene again with the newest edition of Playboy. While discussing where Cindi had vanished to, Tucker happened to stumble across a centerfold in his new issue of none other than Cindi. Tucker devises a plan to go cross country to the Playboy Mansion where there was a party to be held in 3 days for Playboy's annual Birthday bash, where Cindi was sure to be. Tucker left as he had a date with his "partner" of 13 months, Candace (Molly Stanton), who back in high school seemed to hate Tucker.
Later that night, Tucker breaks into the hospital while Eugene was asleep, stating they had to leave on their trip now, as opposed to 3 days later, as Tucker had an incident involving Candace and accidentally forgetting she has seizures caused by strobe lights as a side effect of her epilepsy. Starting out on the road trip, the two are attacked by Candace's brother, Rick (Geoff Meed), and his firemen crew, but manage to escape temporarily.
Once in Chicago, they meet up with their old friend MPEG, who has become a famous rapper over the four years. They all hop on board his party bus and begin to trek across the country towards the Playboy Mansion. After an argument between Horsedick and Eugene, Tucker and Eugene were both thrown out of the bus in the middle of nowhere, and left to walk the rest of the way. Just as it seemed all hope was lost, a car pulled up with two lesbian women. They make a deal where the boys will drive while the girls are in the back with each other having sex.
They make it to the Mansion only to be stopped by bouncers at the door. Moments later, several fire trucks arrived, in search of Tucker. Tucker and Eugene manage to sneak into the mansion dressed in fireman outfits. The two go in separate directions while outside, Candace forces her way into the mansion, followed up by her brother, Rick. Tucker randomly hits on several Playboy models. Eugene, in search for Cindi, is suspected of being a stalker and is taken into a secure holding area, but not before being spotted by Cindi.
Meanwhile, Tucker runs into Candace and darts back into the mansion, where he is spotted by the firemen. After avoiding the firemen, he tries to hide in the mansion and suddenly finds himself face to face with Hugh Hefner. Hugh and Tucker have a discussion about Tucker's issues, telling Tucker about the first woman he ever fell in love with (who to Tucker's dismay, was not as good looking as the Playboy Bunnies of modern day, and had apparently died at a young age). Hefner tells Tucker that "there is a bunny in every woman", and that if Tucker can only see the "bunny" in those women, that he's on to something.
Back in the holding area, Cindi comes in to see Eugene. Eugene seems disgusted to see her, claiming that she left him behind and didn't care about him, and accusing her of sleeping with countless other men. Cindi argues that she did still love him and proves it by telling Eugene that the money she made modeling and being a Playboy Bunny was sent to help pay for Eugene's hospital bills after his neglectful father thought he would never wake up and wanted to permanently move him into a low-grade hospital, something Tucker never bothered to mention. Tucker apologizes for his faults and promises to look past hers and Candace decides to give him another chance.
At the same time, Eugene runs into Horsedick.MPEG, who promised to "rip Eugene's face off". After Cindi comes out and reveals that MPEG was born without genitals, his right-hand man realizes that he's never seen MPEG in action with a woman. At that moment, his crew pulls down his pants, showing nothing but two straws where his genitals should be, confirming what Cindi said. MPEG leaves ashamed, and after Eugene and Cindi make up, Hef lets everyone back in. Eugene and Tucker find themselves in the Mansion's kitchen, and Eugene tells Tucker that Cindi is waiting upstairs for him.
Production.
Trevor Moore and Zach Cregger were offered the script of "Miss March" by Fox, and although not initially interested the idea held some appeal and they took it on as a writing exercise and made it their own. They developed the project intentionally without the involvement of "Playboy".
Robert Wagner was originally cast as Hugh Hefner and according to Moore and Cregger, he did a great job, but audiences at test screenings did not react positively; audiences already familiar with Hefner from the television series "The Girls Next Door" did not connect with Wagner. "Tails between their legs," Moore and Cregger took the film to Playboy. Fortunately, Hefner liked what he saw and agreed to take part, as well as getting 2007 Playmate of the Year Sara Jean Underwood to cameo in the film.
Reception.
Critical response.
"Miss March" was poorly received by nearly all critics. Rotten Tomatoes reported that only 5% of reviewers gave the film positive reviews, based upon a sample of 80 reviews, which gave an average score of 2.45 out of 10. Its consensus states "Even by the modest standards of the teen sex comedy genre, the crass, poorly-made "Miss March" misses the mark."
At Metacritic, which assigns a normalized rating out of 100 to reviews from mainstream critics, the film received an average score of 7 ('overwhelming dislike' is their assignation for this score), based upon 15 reviews as of March 17, 2009.
James Berardinelli, an online film critic, wrote about the film, saying, "This is bad. Not bad in a way that it might be fun to see when inebriated. Bad in a way from which only death provides immunity. Forget waterboarding – just show Guantanamo detainees "Miss March" and they'll say anything."
Tom O'Neil, a critic for the "Los Angeles Times", questioned as to whether the film could be the worst of 2009.
CNN critic Tom Charity declared the film the worst of 2009.
For his performance in the film, Playboy founder Hugh Hefner was nominated for a Razzie Award for "worst supporting actor".
Box office.
On "Miss March"'s opening weekend, the film grossed $2.4 million, which put the film in 10th place of all movies that weekend.
The film grossed $4.54 million at the box office in the United States and Canada.

Fernande Barrey

Fernande Barrey (9 January 1893 in Saint-Valery-sur-Somme – 14 July 1960 in Paris) was a French artist model and painter.
Biography.
Fernande Barrey left her native Picardy in about 1908 and moved to Paris, where she began to make a living as a prostitute. She then became the model for many painters, including Jean Agélou, Amedeo Modigliani and Chaim Soutine, who persuaded her to study painting and art history at the École nationale supérieure des Beaux-Arts.
In March 1917, she met the Japanese artist Tsuguharu Foujita at the Café de la Rotonde in Montparnasse, who fell madly in love with her and married her thirteen days later. In 1918 the couple moved to escape the German bombs to Cagnes-sur-Mer, where she spent a year painting and meeting many friends. During this period, she became friends with Jeanne Hébuterne, the bride of Modigliani. When Modigliani died of tuberculosis in 1920, Barrey tried in vain to console the new widow, but Jeanne, eight months pregnant, committed suicide.
During the year 1925, the couple led a very open relationship, both having relations with people of both sexes. The painter did not forgive Fernande after she had a love affair with his cousin, Koyanagi, a painter. He then locked himself with the Belgian artist Lucie Badoul (called Youki) for three days during which Fernande desperately sought her husband in the Parisian morgues. In 1928, the couple divorced and she lived with Koyanagi in Montmartre. When Koyanagi was separated himself in 1935, his relationship with Tsugouharu Foujita improved; he helped her financially until her death.
Some sources link Fernande Barrey and the famous Miss Fernande, favourite model of the female photographer Jean Agélou, who appeared on many erotic postcards, although this has never been proven.
As a painter, she exhibited the paintings "Josiane" and "Les Pêches" at the Salon d'Automne in 1929.


Lisa Hunter

Lisa Hunter is a fictional character from the British Channel 4 soap opera "Hollyoaks", played by Gemma Atkinson. She made her first appearance during the episode broadcast on 23 April 2001. The character is noted for her storylines including bullying and self-harming. After her exit from "Hollyoaks", Atkinson reprised the role twice in two spin-off series.
Development.
Casting.
Actress Gemma Atkinson was cast in the role of Lisa, a member of the new Hunter family, in 2001. She made her first appearance on 23 April 2001. Lisa joins the local secondary school, where she is bullied by Zara Morgan (Kelly Greenwood) and Abby Davies (Helen Noble) after they "take an instant dislike to her."
During 2004, Atkinson was reported to have been axed from the soap along with her on-screen family. Despite this, the character stayed onscreen until 2005, before making further appearances in spin-offs ' and '.
Reports of the character's return arose in 2007, with Atkinson supposedly signing a £100,000 a year deal with the show. This was eventually denied by a spokeswoman for the show, who told Digital Spy:"There are no current plans for Gemma Atkinson to return to Hollyoaks in the foreseeable future." "Hollyoaks" series producer at that time, Bryan Kirkwood, also commented on the speculation of her return: "Gemma's a real star and I have chatted with her and her agent about the possibility of a future return. None of us feels that it's right at the moment but there's a chance it could happen in the future. There's nothing signed and nothing planned for the foreseeable future."
In 2010, Atkinson announced she desired to return to the soap for a guest stint, she said: "I've not been asked to, but I'd love to go back for a few episodes. In the show, one brother has died, my sister is in France and the older brother is now in "Emmerdale", so I don't know how they would introduce Lisa back." However, several weeks after Atkinson's statement, it was announced that Alex Carter, who played Lisa's brother Lee, would return to the show later in 2010. In an interview following his return, Carter was asked whether he would like Atkinson to return, to which he said: "Yeah! I don't know if she will and I haven't spoken to her for a long time — I went to her birthday a couple of years ago and I've not spoken to her since. But yeah, why not? Get them all back! It'd be good to see Lisa, wouldn't it?" The serial offered her a 12-month contract for her return, but she turned it down because she didn't want to become "stuck in a rut".
Spin-offs.
After her departure from the "Hollyoaks" show, Atkinson and Marcus Patric (Ben Davies) signed to appear in spin-off ", which saw the characters moving on with their lives following their departures from Hollyoaks village. The series received poor viewing figures and another series was not produced.
