The , or "Institute for the Study of Barbarian Books," was the Japanese institute charged with the translation and study of foreign books and publications in the late Edo Period.

Origin
The institute was founded in 1856 that catered to the samurai youth. It emerged out of the previous translation bureau called Yogakusho, which also previously replaced the Banshowagegoyo. The launch of the new institute was a reaction to the unimpeded arrival of the American warships in 1853 under the command of Admiral Matthew C. Perry. The foreigners also brought with them gifts, which baffled and unsettled the Tokugawa regime as they exposed the inferior state of the Japanese coastal defense.

Bansho Shirabesho functioned as a sort of bureau of the Tokugawa Shogunate and considered a politically charged institution that emerged from the perceived imposition of foreignness on Japanese body politic. The establishment of Bansho Shirabesho as an independent institution was also partly attributed to the removal of the translation of sensitive military and political secrets from the Bureau of Astronomy. The activities and norms of the institution intersected with the translation initiatives of employed translators.

The school eventually became the main institution of Western learning sponsored by the shogunate. It attracted some of the most outstanding scholars studying Dutch scientific works and documents, who also later studied English, French, German, and Russian texts.

Later period
It was renamed  (institute for the study of Western books) in 1862, and  in 1863. After the Boshin War, it was again renamed and became the , which was managed under the Government of Meiji Japan. As the Kaisei gakkō, the institute became one of the predecessor organizations which merged to form University of Tokyo.

Forster Ice Piedmont () is an ice piedmont lying landward of the Wordie Ice Shelf, along the west coast of the Antarctic Peninsula. It is formed by the confluence of Airy, Seller, Fleming and Prospect Glaciers and is about  long from north to south and  wide.

The feature was first surveyed from the ground by the British Graham Land Expedition in 1936–37, and again in more detail by Peter D. Forster and P. Gibbs of the Falkland Islands Dependencies Survey (FIDS) in 1958.  It was named by the UK Antarctic Place-Names Committee after Forster, a surveyor at Stonington Island in 1958 and at Horseshoe Island in 1960.

"Miente" (English: "Lie") is a song by Spanish singer Enrique Iglesias from his second studio album, Vivir (1997). The song was written and produced by Rafael Pérez-Botija. It was released as the third single from the album in 1997. An uptempo pop power ballad backed by a piano and percussion, the song deals with the singer being in denial about a relationship ending.

"Miente" was covered by Robert Avellanet on his debut studio album, Sentir (1999), as a salsa track. The music video for the cover features the singer playing billiards while a woman is driving away. Avellanet's version peaked at numbers 23 and 9 on the Hot Latin Songs and Tropical Airplay charts, respectively, and was a recipient of the ASCAP Latin Award on the salsa field in 2000. "Miente" received positive reactions from three music journalists, who generally considered it was one of the best tracks from Vivir. Commercially, the original song topped the Billboard Hot Latin Songs and Latin Pop Airplay charts in the United States.

Background and composition
In 1995, Iglesias released his eponymous debut album, which sold over 4.7 million copies worldwide and had five of its singles reach number one on the Billboard Hot Latin Songs in the United States. In August 1996, El Informador reported that Iglesias was working on a follow-up album and it would be released in January the following year. The album's title of Vivir was revealed by Iglesias in December 1995, before it was eventually released on 28 January 1997. He also announced that the album was produced by Rafael Pérez-Botija and he had co-written its tracks with Roberto Morales. One of the three tracks Pérez-Botija composed for the album was "Miente", a "dramatic" uptempo pop power ballad, that is backed by a piano and percussion. Lyrically, the song deals with the singer sensing "the end but being so love addicted, he goes into denial."

Promotion and reception
"Miente" was released as the third single from Vivir in 1997. The song was later included on Iglesias' compilation albums The Best Hits (1999) and the deluxe edition of Enrique Iglesias: 95/08 Éxitos (2008). A remix version of the song was included on his album Remixes (1998). "Miente" was covered by Puerto Rican singer Robert Avellanet for his debut studio album Sentir (1999). Avellanet's rendition was recorded as a salsa track and produced by Isidro Infante. The cover received the ASCAP Latin Award on the salsa field in 2000. A music video was filmed for the cover version which the features Avellanet performing at a bar and playing billiards while a woman is driving away. Joey Guerra of the Houston Chronicle regarded "Miente" as "one of the strongest tracks" from Vivir. Similarly, the San Antonio Express-News editor Ramiro Burr felt the song to be the album's "best cut" while Howard Cohen on the Miami Herald called it "terrific". In the US, "Miente" debuted at number five on the  Billboard Hot Latin Songs chart on the week of 5 August 1997 and topped the chart a week later; it spent four weeks at this position. The track also reached the top of the Latin Pop Airplay chart, at which it spent three weeks. Avellanet's version peaked at numbers 23 and 9 on the Hot Latin Songs and Tropical Airplay charts, respectively.

Krugozor (, lit. The Outlook) was a literary and musical illustrated magazine with flexi-discs issued in the Soviet Union by Melodiya.

History
The magazine was started in 1964. It was published by , with flexi-discs prepared by Melodiya record label (initially known as the All-Union Record Studio).

From 1968, a supplement for children, Kolobok, was also published.

This magazine dealt with documentary, history, classical and contemporary art, literature and music (including music from western countries) and was in immense demand by young Soviet consumers, who would form long waiting lines in stores and kiosks during release days. Each magazine contained up to six Flexi disks. Disks were double sided 33RPM and were produced in the Soviet Union with technology bought from the West. Nikita Khrushchev had initiated the deal; he was inspired by similar disks he had seen during his visits to Western countries.

The 1985 run of Krugozor was 500,000 monthly, not counting Kolobok. Krugozor ceased publication in 1993.

A milk bag is a plastic bag that contains milk. Usually one of the corners is cut off to allow for pouring, and the bag is stored in a pitcher or jug.

A typical milk bag contains approximately  of milk in South America, Iran, Israel, and continental European countries, while in Canada they contain , and in India, .

In the Baltic rim countries, e.g., Estonia, and some Eastern European countries, the similar bags may also be seen used for packaging yogurt or kefir.

By country and region

Canada

In Canada, before the late 1960s, milk was packaged in heavy, reusable Imperial unit glass milk bottles and later cardboard cartons and plastic jugs. In 1967, DuPont, using European equipment, introduced plastic bags to store and sell milk. With Canada's conversion to the metric system in the 1970s, bottles, jugs, and cartons had to be thrown out, re-designed, and manufactured in metric units, while milk bag packaging machines could easily be resized.

The milk bags found favour with the domestic dairy industry, being lighter and less fragile than glass bottles. However, the consumer public preferred plastic jugs for years, but largely accepted the new containers in parts of Ontario, Quebec and the Maritimes in the 1970s. Regulation in Ontario that required retailers to collect a deposit on milk jugs, but not bags, also motivated the practice.

Milk bags are sold in parts of Ontario, Quebec and the Maritimes, but not widely sold in western Canada, in Newfoundland and Labrador, or the territories.

Israel

In Israel, milk in a bag is the most common type of packaging for milk. They became the standard form of milk packaging in the 1960s, with the discontinuation of glass bottles. In Israel, the milk bag is a regulated product, which means that its price is controlled by the state. Therefore, there are price differences between the milk bags and the other alternatives available for marketing milk — plastic bottles or milk cartons. Due to the price differences, a relationship was observed between the socioeconomic status of the consumer and the type of milk container that they customarily purchased. The higher the socio-economic status of the purchaser, the more likely they are to buy milk in cartons rather than in bags, despite the higher price of cartons. Based on these differences, Blue Square Network created a way to measure the socioeconomic status of an area based on the sales ratio of milk cartons versus bagged milk. The higher the ratio of the former to the latter, the higher the status of the region in Israel. For religious Jews, opening a bag of milk can be considered problematic on Shabbat, because the action requires cutting. Eli Yishai, Israel's former minister of internal affairs, used empty milk bags in the Knesset as props to complain about price-hikes in the cost of milk.

South America

Milk bags are also commonly used in Colombia, Ecuador, Argentina, Bolivia, Brazil, Chile, Paraguay, Peru, and Uruguay.

United Kingdom
In the United Kingdom, Sainsbury's began a pilot experiment on distributing milk in bags in 2008 in conjunction with Dairy Crest. It was originally targeted at 35 stores at the same price as a regular  plastic bottle of milk. The product was expanded nationwide in 2010, at which point the bags retailed at a discounted price compared to traditional containers, but stopped in early 2015.

United States
DuPont introduced milk bags to American schools in 1989, and by 1993 3 million pouches a day were being served in 24 states. However, the popularity of them waned. There appears to only be one,  verified school district in Omaha, NE using bagged milk as recently as 2015.

Benefits
The principal benefits of bagged milk are economy and freshness. For producers, it is easier to vary portion size when sealing bags than cartons, as well as lowering the cost of packaging. Milk bags also take up less space in the garbage. For consumers, bags typically allow for smaller portion sizes. This theoretically reduces the risk of spoilage, as well as the space and location of storage in the fridge.

Environmental concerns
While milk bags use less plastic than standard plastic bottles or jugs, empty bags are often not accepted for recycling when mixed with other plastics. In Canada, where recycling services are municipally or regionally managed, milk bags may not always be recycled. In some municipalities milk bags are required to be discarded as garbage and in others they are recyclable.

The Tianning Temple () is a Buddhist temple complex located in Xicheng District of Beijing, in northern China.

The temple contains the 12th-century Pagoda of Tianning Temple.  The 8 sided pagoda is of the Liao Dynasty, built from around 1100 to 1119 or 1120 CE, shortly before the Liao Dynasty was conquered by the Jin dynasty.

Architecture

This thirteen story, 57.8 m (189 ft) tall, octagonal-based Chinese pagoda is made of brick and stone, yet imitates the design of wooden-constructed pagodas from the era by featuring ornamental dougong (bracket supports). It rests on a large square platform, with the bottom portion of the pagoda taking on the shape of a sumeru pedestal.

The pagoda features a veranda with banisters, yet is entirely solid with no hollow inside or staircase as some pagodas feature. Other ornamental designs include arched doorways and heavenly Buddhist guardians. Its design inspired that of later pagodas, such as the similar Ming Dynasty era Pagoda of Cishou Temple of Beijing built in 1576.

The structure and ornamentation have remained the same since the pagoda was built, but the 1976 Tangshan earthquake caused the original pearl-shaped steeple of the pagoda to break off and fall. It has since been restored. The temple grounds surrounding the pagoda have also been renovated and rebuilt several times over the course of the Ming and Qing dynasties. The architectural historian Liang Sicheng (1901–1972)—known for discovering and documenting the oldest existent wooden structures still standing in China—lauded the Pagoda of Tianning Temple as a pristine architectural design of antiquity.

Fort Sanders was a wooden fort constructed in 1866 on the Laramie Plains in southern Wyoming, near the city of Laramie.  Originally named Fort John Buford, it was renamed Fort Sanders after General William P. Sanders, who died at the Siege of Knoxville during the American Civil War.  This was the second fort to be named after Sanders, the first being in Knoxville, Tennessee.  The fort was originally intended to protect travelers on the nearby Overland Trail from Indian attacks, but later the garrison was tasked with protecting the workers of the Union Pacific railroad when it arrived in the spring of 1868. In 1869 the town of Laramie (originally called "Laramie City") was created about  north of the fort.  Fort Sanders became less important following the construction of Fort D. A. Russell in Cheyenne in 1868, but the War Department maintained it until 1882 when the buildings were sold.

Layout

The fort grounds were  by , including a parade ground.  The post was originally built for four companies, but was later expanded to accommodate six.  Nearly all of the buildings were constructed of wood except for the stone guardhouse, which was built in 1869 and remains the only structure standing on the original site today. At least two additional buildings from the fort were moved to other locations in Laramie and survive today.  The post Commander's quarters were moved to LaBonte Park and have been used as community center, and since 2010 the headquarters of the nonprofit food access organization Feeding Laramie Valley.  Another building became the Cavalrymen Supper Club.

John Bel Edwards (born September 16, 1966) is an American politician and attorney serving as the 56th governor of Louisiana since 2016. A member of the Democratic Party, he previously served as the Democratic leader of the Louisiana House of Representatives from 2012 to 2015.

First elected to the Louisiana House in 2007, Edwards became Democratic minority leader in 2012. He defeated Republican U.S. Senator David Vitter in the second round of the 2015 election for governor, and became Louisiana governor in January 2016. He won a second term in 2019, becoming the first Democrat to win reelection as governor of Louisiana since Edwin Edwards (no relation) in 1975. He is a United States Army veteran, having served with the 82nd Airborne Division, reaching the rank of captain. He is Louisiana's only statewide elected Democratic official.

Many political observers consider Edwards to be a conservative Democrat.

Early life and education
John Bel Edwards was born in East Baton Rouge Parish, Louisiana on September 16, 1966. He was raised in Amite, Louisiana, the son of Dora Jean (née Miller) and Tangipahoa Parish Sheriff Frank M. Edwards, Jr. Born into an economically and politically well-established family in the parish, he graduated from Amite High School in 1984 as valedictorian.

In 1988, Edwards received a bachelor's degree in engineering from the United States Military Academy, where he was on the Dean's List and served as vice chairman of the panel that enforced the West Point honor code.

Edwards completed Airborne School in 1986, while a student at West Point. After receiving his commission, he completed the Infantry Officer Basic Course at Fort Benning in 1988, Ranger School in 1989, and the Infantry Officer Advanced Course in 1992.

Edwards served in the United States Army for eight years, mostly in the 25th Infantry Division and 82nd Airborne Division. He commanded a company in the 82nd's 3rd Brigade, 505th Parachute Infantry Regiment. Edwards ultimately ended his military career to return to Louisiana because of family considerations.

Legal career
After leaving the Army, Edwards pursued a legal education at Louisiana State University's Paul M. Hebert Law Center (LSU Law). He received his J.D. degree in 1999, and after graduation clerked for Judge James L. Dennis of the United States Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit.

Edwards went on to become a practicing attorney with the Edwards & Associates law firm in Amite. He handled a variety of cases, but did not practice criminal law because his brother was the local sheriff. His nephew, Bradley Stevens, worked at the firm as a law partner.

Louisiana House of Representatives
In 2007, Edwards ran for a seat in the Louisiana House of Representatives and was forced into a general election runoff with fellow attorney George Tucker. Edwards won every parish in the district. He was the only freshman lawmaker to chair a committee, the Veterans Affairs Committee, in the legislature. Edwards was also selected as chair of the Democratic House caucus, a rarity for a freshman legislator. Edwards criticized Governor Bobby Jindal for Jindal's frequent trips away from Louisiana to raise funds for Republicans elsewhere while Louisiana had been reducing its funding for higher education.

In 2011, Edwards was reelected to the Louisiana House of Representatives, defeating Johnny Duncan, 83% to 17%. He chaired the Louisiana House Democratic Caucus, making him the House Minority Leader. Cities and towns that Edwards represented included Amite, Greensburg, and Kentwood as well as part of Hammond.

Governor of Louisiana

Elections

2015

On February 21, 2013, Edwards announced his candidacy for governor in 2015. He said that Louisiana needed "a healthy dose of common sense and compassion for ordinary people". The only major Democrat in the race, Edwards polled first in the nonpartisan blanket primary with 444,517 votes (39.9%), followed by Vitter, who finished second with 256,300 votes (23%). In third place was Louisiana Public Service Commissioner Scott Angelle of Breaux Bridge, who received 214,982 votes (19.3%).

A JMC Analytics poll before the primary showed Edwards with a nine-point lead over Vitter, 28% to 19%. After the primary polls showed Edwards with a commanding lead. Market Research Insight pollster Verne Kennedy placed Edwards ahead, 54% to 38% or 51% to 40%, depending on the level of turnout among African-American voters, 25% or 20%.

Edwards won the November 21 runoff with 56.1% of the vote. The New York Times noted that the gubernatorial race was one "that many other Democrats once considered hopeless" early in the cycle.

2019

In 2019, Edwards ran for reelection to a second term as governor. In the runoff election, he faced Republican businessman Eddie Rispone. As Louisiana voted overwhelmingly for Donald Trump in the 2016 election, the race drew national attention after Trump visited the state multiple times on Rispone's behalf.

Edwards ultimately defeated Rispone, 51.33% to 48.67%. His victory made him the first Democratic governor of Louisiana to be elected to a second consecutive term in over four decades, since Edwin Edwards in 1975.

Tenure

On his inauguration day, Edwards failed to persuade the majority-Republican Louisiana House to choose a Democrat, Walt Leger III of New Orleans, as Speaker. On the second ballot, after Republican Cameron Henry, an ally of Vitter, withdrew from consideration, a second Republican, Taylor Barras of New Iberia, was named Speaker. Since Huey Long, governors had traditionally handpicked the state house speakers. Barras's selection was considered a surprise because he had not been mentioned as a candidate until the voting started.

On April 13, 2016, Edwards signed an executive order to protect lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender people from harassment or job dismissals. The order prohibits state agencies from discrimination based on either gender identity or sexual orientation. The order allows an exception for religious organizations that claim that compliance would violate their religious beliefs. "We respect our fellow citizens for their beliefs, but we do not discriminate based on our disagreements. I believe in giving every Louisianan the opportunity to be successful and to thrive in our state", Edwards said.

Edwards also rescinded another executive order issued in 2015 by his predecessor, Bobby Jindal, which protected businesses and nonprofit organizations that oppose same-sex marriage from being legally punished for acting on those views. This order had prohibited state agencies from penalizing businesses and individuals who refuse or limit service because of a "religious belief that marriage is or should be recognized as the union of one man and one woman."

In 2016, Edwards enacted Medicaid expansion. By the next year, the number of Louisianans without health insurance was cut in half (11.4%, down from 22.7%). According to a study conducted by LSU's E.J. Ourso College of Business, Edwards's Medicaid expansion made over 500,000 more adults eligible for Medicaid, of whom 327,000 were uninsured.

Edwards promised early in 2017 that he could work with the incoming Donald Trump administration. He expressed eagerness to work with the Trump Cabinet, particularly on Medicaid expansion and federal infrastructure projects.

In January 2017, Edwards traveled to Italy on a personal trip to discuss ways to combat human trafficking. He traveled with members of the Hospitaller Sisters of Mercy, who established a shelter in Baton Rouge for child victims of human trafficking. Edwards met with Pope Francis during the trip.

Edwards campaigned on a policy to reduce Louisiana's prison population. One of his first actions as governor was to commute 22 sentences out of 56 that the state's Board of Pardons had identified for him. Since the end of 2016 and to July 2018, Edwards did not sign a single commutation despite at least 70 cases that the state's Board of Pardons identified for him during the period. In 2018, Edwards signed legislation that shortened the sentences for nonviolent, non-sex-crime offenders who showed good behavior while in prison.

In May 2018, Edwards signed a bill into law banning abortion after 15 weeks of pregnancy. In May 2019, he signed an even more restrictive six-week abortion ban, although a similar bill in the 5th Circuit, one with a similar predecessor, was blocked by Judge Carlton Reeves in the Southern District of Mississippi. In response to backlash from his more progressive supporters, Edwards released a statement saying, "As governor, I have been true to my word and my beliefs on this issue. But it is also my sincere belief that being pro-life means more than just being pro-birth." He referenced his attempts to expand investment in education, reform Louisiana's criminal justice system, pass laws to protect LGBT citizens from discrimination in the workplace, raise the minimum wage, and ensure equal pay for men and women.

At the end of 2018, Edwards said that his top priority for 2019 was to achieve a $1,000 pay raise for teachers and a $500 raise for school support workers. For the first time in 10 years, the House passed a budget that included pay raises for teachers and support staff.

On September 8, 2021, Edwards delayed all upcoming Louisiana elections five weeks after excessive statewide infrastructure damage caused by Hurricane Ida. On September 12, 2021, less than two weeks after Ida crested, Edwards declared another statewide state of emergency in anticipation of Hurricane Nicholas. On January 5, 2022, Edwards pardoned Homer Plessy, subject of the 1896 U.S. Supreme Court case Plessy v. Ferguson, which upheld segregation laws.

Cabinet and administration

Personal life

Edwards is married to Donna Hutto. She graduated from the University of Southern Mississippi in Hattiesburg with a business degree in industrial management before training as a teacher. They have two daughters, Sarah and Samantha Edwards, and a son, John Miller Edwards.

Edwards is a Catholic and a parishioner of the St. Helena Roman Catholic Church in Amite.

Edwards is the brother of Independence, Louisiana, chief of police Frank Millard Edwards, as well as Tangipahoa Parish Sheriff Daniel H. Edwards. Edwards is brother-in-law to 21st Judicial District Court Juvenile Judge Blair Downing Edwards, a Republican. In 2011, one of Edwards's brothers, Christopher Edwards, died in a car crash after his vehicle veered into oncoming traffic and collided with a UPS truck.

The first Auckland Anniversary Regatta took place in 1840 and has grown to become one of the largest single day regattas and is the oldest sporting event in New Zealand.  As a yachting event it pre-dates the America's Cup by 11 years.

History

On 18 September 1840, the first Auckland Anniversary Regatta was held. During the 1840s, the regatta moved to 29 January, and in 1850, the regatta was recognised as the official marker of the arrival of Captain Hobson and the founding of Auckland as a city. From the earliest days of the regatta it included waka taua and fishing waka from Auckland and visiting iwi.

In 1900, due to war in South Africa, the Auckland Anniversary Regatta was cancelled, which is the only time in its history since 1850. In 1903, power boats made their first entry into the regatta, and in 1917, the regatta included a sea plane and a flying race.

In the 1940s, the Auckland Anniversary Regatta was the largest one day regatta both in terms of yachts and participants.

In 2007, tugboats first made their appearance and there is now an annual race of tugboats as part of the regatta.

In 2008, 400 boats entered, comparatively more than the 120 entries Sydney Australia Day Regatta.  The size is particularly interesting when traditionally the prizes have just been the honour of winning.  In 2023, there was over NZ$10,000 in spot prizes awarded.

In 2022, there was a fear that the regatta would be cancelled due to the COVID-19 pandemic. However, it largely went ahead, except for the Dragonboat and Waka Ama races, due to the restraints on groups gathering.

Events

There are currently seven types of races:

 Tugboat Race
 Classic Launch Race
 Keelboat Races
 Centreboard Races (including Dinghy, Foiling & Skiff)
 Dragonboat Races
 Waka Ama & Waka Hourua
 Radio Controlled Yacht Races

The business records exception to the U.S. hearsay rule is based on Rule 803(6) of the Federal Rules of Evidence (FRE).   It is sometimes referred to as the business entry rule.

Rationale
The basic rationale for the exception is that employees are under a duty to be accurate in observing, reporting, and recording business facts.  The underlying belief is that special reliability is provided by the regularity with which the records are made and kept, as well as the incentive of employees to keep accurate records (under threat of termination or other penalty).  The exception functions to allow the record to substitute for the in-court testimony of the employees, but it can only substitute for what the employee could testify about.  The availability of the declarant (the employee whose testimony is being replaced by the record) is immaterial for the purposes of this exception.

Reliability of the statements in the record
It must be apparent to the judge that the record was made in the regular course of business, i.e., that it was customary practice to make such an entry and that the entrant had a duty to record it (either by law or by the terms of his employment).  The record must have been made at or near the time of the act, event, or transaction at issue.  Furthermore, the record must consist of matters either within the personal knowledge of the entrant or within the personal knowledge of someone with a duty to transmit the information to the entrant.

This last point was contested in the case of Johnson v. Lutz, 253 N.Y. 124, 170 N.E. 517 (1930), which held that a business record is admissible only when it is made by an employee about information, obtained by him, from an informant who himself was under a business duty to impart that information.  Johnson dealt specifically with the admissibility of police reports, and set a limitation on the use of such reports in court.  Even though the police officer was under a duty to properly record the statements of an informant, the informant himself was under no duty to report the events correctly, and therefore the informant's statement was still inadmissible hearsay.

Limitation on admissibility of records prepared for litigation
In the case of Palmer v. Hoffman, , the Supreme Court of the United States ruled that an accident report created by a railroad company which was prepared in anticipation of a lawsuit by the victim was inadmissible, because it was not prepared in the regular course of business.  Railroad travel, and not litigation, was the primary business of the railroad, and therefore the report was not considered sufficiently reliable to be admitted into evidence.

Lack of record as evidence
FRE 803(7) states the negative counterpart of the business records exception:  the use of the lack of a record to prove that a transaction or occurrence had not taken place, if it was the regular practice of the business to record such events if they had actually occurred.

Other types of business records
Under FRE 803(17), market reports and quotations, directories, and other published compilations are considered generally admissible if they are generally used and relied upon by the public or by persons in particular occupations.  Such information is considered admissible separate and apart from privately made business records described above.

Mark Evans Austad (April 1, 1917 – October 20, 1988) was an American radio and television commentator in Washington D.C. (under the name Mark Evans), and served under Gerald Ford as United States Ambassador to Finland from 1975 to 1977, and as United States Ambassador to Norway from 1981 to 1984, under Ronald Reagan.

Biography
Austad was born Marcus Jacob Austad in Ogden, Utah, to Norwegian immigrant parents, Jacob L. and Signa Anderson Austad.  He was a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (LDS Church) and served a three-year mission to Finland and Norway from 1936 to 1939.  From 1939 to 1941, he attended Weber College in Ogden where he was student body president and active in public speaking, in which he won first place in national competitions.  Austad married the former Lola Brown in 1942 and they had three daughters.

Throughout his life Austad was active in the LDS Church, and in addition to his missionary service he was also a Sunday School teacher in the 1970s in Washington, D.C., and was ordained as a High Priest.

Broadcasting
Austad passed up law school for an opportunity to work in radio as an announcer with KSL in Salt Lake City in 1941.  He was soon drafted into the U.S. Army Intelligence Corps for service during World War II.  To treat a pre-existing knee injury, he was sent to Walter Reed General Hospital in Washington, D.C., where he was also assigned to the hospital's public address system referred to as WRGH.  Among his duties was hosting a weekly program with prominent Washington personalities, such as First Lady Eleanor Roosevelt.  In late 1942 Austad also worked part-time for WWDC and then full-time upon his military discharge in 1945.  After two years, he moved to the CBS station WTOP where he succeeded Arthur Godfrey on his own morning show.

Starting in 1960, Austad became a commentator at WTTG television and in 1961 he became vice president of public affairs at Metropolitan Broadcasting Company, later called Metromedia, where he stayed until 1981.  During this time he continued to host other television shows such as "Panorama Potomac", "Face to Face", "The Mark Evans Show", and "Opinion in the Capitol", which he hosted for 25 years.  He was also involved with television documentaries, including an award-winner on pollution called 1985, several on world topics, and one on his visit with Albert Schweitzer.

Civic activity
Austad participated with various civic and national organizations.  He served as a member of the citizens advisory board of the Peace Corps (appointed by President Richard Nixon), a member of the executive board of the Washington, D.C., American Red Cross, a member of the public affairs committee of the United States Chamber of Commerce, a member of the board of the Arizona Heart Institute, a member of the board of the Disabled American Veterans, and a trustee of the American Automobile Association.  He received the Silver Beaver Award and in 1970 he was named Scouter of the Year by the National Capital Area Council of the Boy Scouts of America, where he participated for over 25 years.  He was invited on eight occasions to speak before the National Geographic Society.  For his "deep commitment to freedom and a strong national defense", in 1987 he received the Bronze Minuteman, the highest award of the Utah National Guard.

In 1971, in this period of civic involvement, Austad received an honorary doctor of humanities degree from Weber State College, his alma mater.  The school would also later honor Austad by naming its largest theater in its fine arts center The Mark Evans Austad Auditorium.

Austad served for two years as chairman of Washington D.C.'s National Cherry Blossom Festival, and in 1973 and 1974 he was chairman of Washington D.C.'s U.S. bicentennial celebration.

Austad served on the presidential inaugural committees both times Richard Nixon was elected.  In 1969 Austad chaired the Inaugural Ball committee, and in 1972 he was vice chairman of the inauguration committee.  Nixon would appoint Austad to serve as one of the three public members of the United States delegation to the 28th General Assembly of the United Nations.  After Nixon's presidential resignation, his successor Gerald Ford appointed Austad as Ambassador to Finland.  In 1980 Austad would again serve on an inaugural committee, this time for Ronald Reagan's first election, after which he was again appointed as an ambassador, this time to Norway.

Ambassadorships
After his service to the Nixon administration and visibility in the Washington, D.C., community, Austad was appointed Ambassador to Finland in 1975. In this role, he was also a delegate to the Helsinki Conference on Security and Cooperation in Europe which brought about the Helsinki Accords. Austad became the first American diplomat to be knighted by Finland, under the Order of the White Rose and Order of the Lion.

In 1981, while living in Wolfeboro, New Hampshire and Scottsdale, Arizona, Austad was appointed Ambassador to Norway by President Ronald Reagan.  He served in this position until 1984 and was well received and awarded Norway's highest honor given to foreigners, the Grand Cross of St. Olav's Order, for his work in fighting heart disease.  However, he was known for contending with some Norwegians, including the opposition Labor Party, a local Norwegian council, student groups, and a newspaper that frequently ran such headlines as "Austad Strikes Again."  He also gained notoriety in the Norwegian media for a 1983 incident in which police were called to a startled woman's home where Austad was loudly banging on the door at 3 a.m.  Austad claimed that after hosting an embassy cocktail party, he was on a late-night visit to a friend's house to plan their salmon fishing trip, but his taxi took him to the wrong address.  It was alleged that Austad was "apparently under the influence of alcohol" and had spent "half an hour knocking and kicking at her front door Wednesday in an attempt to get in."  Police merely dropped Austad back at his hotel, but United States House Democrats listed this incident as one of many ethics violations by Reagan Administration officials.  Austad viewed the criticism as inaccurate innuendo and media sensationalism, started by the British newspaper Private Eye and picked up by other papers and wire services.  Austad sued Private Eye for libel and they settled for a "substantial sum", for damages and legal expenses, and printed an apology stating their "article constituted a most serious and damaging libel upon Ambassador Austad."  Austad dismissed the controversy, saying Norway's largest newspaper, Aftenposten, praised him as the best U.S. ambassador they had ever had.

Death
Austad died in 1988 at age 71 in Arizona.  His funeral was held in Ogden, Utah, and his body was buried in Lindquist Washington Heights Memorial Park.

Evangeline Records is an independent American record label based in San Francisco, California that promotes and releases music in the indie rock, baroque pop, psychedelic folk, and Americana genres. The label was founded by notable songwriters Bob Frank and John Murry in 2006.
Artists on the label include Bob Frank and John Murry, Jeffrey Luck Lucas, Kira Lynn Cain, Christine Shields, Danny Pearson, Birdgang, Ryan Auffenberg, Chuck Prophet

History
Frank and Murry were both raised in the American South and moved to the San Francisco Bay Area. Initially, it was a vehicle for the duo's own work. Their critically acclaimed "World Without End" received international recognition and got them a European record deal, however they were unable to secure a suitable record deal in the United States. The label's first release was "World Without End", coming in July 2007 several months after its European debut on Decor Records.

The name for the label comes from John Murry's daughter born in 2004, named Evangeline after the tale by Longfellow and of Acadian and Cajun history. Following its release, additional artists were signed to the roster. Most of the artists are based in the San Francisco Bay Area, with the exception being Zach Roberts, known as 'Birdgang'. Most of the artists have some folk or Americana influence and have a somewhat dark, cinematic sound. The label offices are located at 1441 Howard Street, home of Closer Recording studios, owned by producer and engineer Tim Mooney, the former drummer for American Music Club, The Toiling Midgets, and The Sleepers.

The majority of the records released by or to be released by the label have been recorded there and many of the same musicians have collaborated on these recordings. The label views itself as a collective that is influenced by and is attempting to recreate the spirit of Stax, Motown, Muscle Shoals, and Sun Records. Musicians such as Sean Coleman, Tim Mooney, John Murry, Nate Cavalieri, and Quinn Miller have appeared on a number of these recordings and Sean Coleman has engineered two of them and produced and engineered one, Kira Lynn Cain's "The Ideal Hunter", released in May 2008.

The record label was purchased in 2011 by Lori Graves Murry and reopened as Evangeline Recording Company. It is still a Bay Area-based independent label operating out of Oakland, CA. Most of the previous artists remain on the roster of the new label and the first scheduled releases under the new label name are scheduled for January 2012. The back catalog is available through the Evangeline Recording Co website.

Indo-Grenadians or Grenadians who trace their roots to India, form the largest minority group in Grenada. This term is not generally recognized by Grenadians or indeed Caribbeans. They usually refer to themselves simply as Grenadian or possibly Caribbean. This group was first introduced during the second half of the 19th century when Grenada experimented with indentured labour. By the second half of the 20th century Indians were so integrated into Grenada’s society that a distinct Indian cultural identity was generally invisible. In addition, Indians were involved in every aspect of Grenadian life. Currently there are over 12,000 Grenadians of Indian and mixed-Indian descent (11% of the total population).

History

Historian S. N. Yadav described the history of Indo-Grenadians as "essentially the history of a relatively powerless ethnic group submitting without any organised resistance to an environment unfavourable to it in almost every sense". Historian Raymond D. Viechweg wrote in 2007, "the beginning of the trade in Indian indentures ... meant the continuous intermixing, or creolizing, of cultures that would eventually place the Grenadian Indian in a position of cultural vulnerability. When Indians arrived in Grenada in 1857, they found themselves in a position subordinate to a dominant Anglo-African creolization.  In Grenada, Indians have functioned within and alongside the dominant Afro-Grenadian cultural formation for 150 years now." Following the abolition of slavery in 1833 and the full emancipation of African slaves in Grenada in 1838, plantation owners in the region sought to find alternate sources of labour. Grenadian planters initially made unsuccessful attempts to replace African slave labour with indentured workers from Africa, Malta and Portugal.

Planters in the West Indies began using indentured workers from British India as labour on their plantations. Learning of the success of the approach, planters in Grenada also sought to hire Indian indentured workers. British Grenada legalised immigration in 1856 to facilitate the arrival indentured migrant workers. The first ship carrying indentured workers from India, the Maidstone, departed from Calcutta on 27 January 1857 with 375 Indians on board. It arrived at Irwin’s Bay in St. Patrick Parish, Grenada on 1 May 1857. Eighty-six Indians died during the voyage. Most of the workers on the Maidstone were distributed to plantation estates in St. Patrick and St. Mark parishes, as well as other parishes. None were sent to plantations in St. John parish. The Fulwood brought 362 live Indian workers to Grenada in 1858 and the Jalawar brought 249 workers the following year. Between 1857 and 1878, ships transported a total of 3,033 Indians to Grenada, excluding those who died during the voyage. The last ship carrying 175 indentured Indian labourers arrived on the island some time between 1881 and 1885. In total, nearly 3,206 Indians were brought to Grenada, excluding those who died during the voyage. Only about 15% of them returned to India, while the rest remained in the country even after their indenture period ended in 1890. These Indians are the origin of the Indo-Grenadian community.

The 100th anniversary of the first arrival of Indians in Grenada was commemorated in 1957. This was the first ever commemoration of the day in Grenada. The next commemoration would occur more than five decades later in 2009. The International Conference on The Indian Diaspora in Grenada and the Wider Caribbean was held from 29 April to 1 May 2009 to commemorate the event, as well as to discuss Indo-Caribbean history. The conference was by the Indo-Caribbean Cultural Centre Co. Ltd, the Indian Cultural Organisation (Grenada) Inc., and the Indo-Grenadian Heritage Foundation (IHF) with support from  Belmont Estate Group of Companies, and the High Commission of India in Trinidad and Tobago. It was officially inaugurated by Prime Minister Keith Mitchell.

On 29 April 2009, the Government of Grenada declared that 1 May would officially be designated as Indian Arrival Day and observed annually alongside the existing Labour Day. The date was already a public holiday in Grenada, on account of Labour Day. The Government also announced that Boucherie Road, the road leading to the site of the arrival of the Maidstone, would be officially renamed Maidstone Road to honour the arrival of Indians in Grenada. The renaming was officially carried out in a ceremony at 10:30 AM at La Fortune Junction, St. Patrick on 2 May 2009. Governor General Sir Carlyle Glean unveiled a granite plaque commemorating the arrival of the first Indians in Grenada. The plaque bears the inscription, "On 1st May 1857, in this bay the sailing vessel “Maidstone” anchored and landed 287 passengers having left India three months earlier, with 304 passengers. Between the years 1857 and 1890 other ships anchored in this and other bays bringing a total of 3,200 persons from India to work as agricultural indenture labourers in Grenada. This monument is dedicated to those who became the genesis of the Indo-Grenadian population of our nation".

The 2004 Vengeance was the fourth annual Vengeance professional wrestling pay-per-view (PPV) event produced by World Wrestling Entertainment (WWE). It was held exclusively for wrestlers from the promotion's Raw brand division. The event took place on July 11, 2004, from the Hartford Civic Center in Hartford, Connecticut.

The main event was Chris Benoit versus Triple H for the World Heavyweight Championship, which Benoit won by pinning Triple H with a roll-up. The predominant match on the card was Randy Orton versus Edge for the WWE Intercontinental Championship, which Edge won by pinfall after executing a Spear. The primary matches on the undercard included Matt Hardy versus Kane in a No Disqualification match, which Hardy won after he hit Kane with a steel chair to get the pin, and Batista versus Chris Jericho, which Batista won by pinfall after executing a Batista Bomb.

The event grossed US$370,000 with 7,000 ticket sales and had a 0.43 buyrate. Following the event, Benoit began a feud with Randy Orton over the World Heavyweight Championship. The two would have a match at SummerSlam, where Orton would win the World Heavyweight Championship, and become the youngest world champion in WWE history. Edge went on to defend the Intercontinental Championship against Batista and Chris Jericho in a Triple Threat match at SummerSlam. Kane and Matt Hardy continued their feud at SummerSlam in a "Till Death Do Us Part" match, where the winner would get to marry Lita. Kane was the victor, and as a result, Lita had to marry Kane.

Production

Background
Vengeance was an annual pay-per-view (PPV) event produced by World Wrestling Entertainment (WWE) since 2001. While the 2003 event was a SmackDown!-exclusive PPV, the 2004 event, however, was promoted as a Raw-exclusive show, only featuring wrestlers from that brand. The 2004 event was the fourth event in the Vengeance chronology and was held on July 11 from the Hartford Civic Center in Hartford, Connecticut.

Storylines

The main feud heading into Vengeance was between Chris Benoit and Triple H, with the two battling over the World Heavyweight Championship. At the Royal Rumble, Benoit won the Royal Rumble match which earned him a World Heavyweight Championship match against Triple H at WrestleMania XX. At WrestleMania, Benoit defeated Triple H and Shawn Michaels in a Triple Threat match to win the World Heavyweight Championship by forcing Triple H to submit to the Crippler Crossface. At Backlash, Benoit successfully defended the World Heavyweight Championship in another Triple Threat match against Triple H and Michaels, after he forced Michaels to submit to the Sharpshooter. Following Backlash, Benoit had a small feud with Kane, while Michaels and Triple H would finish their feud at Bad Blood. On the June 14 episode of Raw, Triple H demanded another World Heavyweight title shot. It would later be granted to him by Raw General Manager Eric Bischoff to fight against Benoit at Vengeance for the championship, but Bischoff asked for Triple H to defeat his nephew, Eugene. Triple H tried to befriend Eugene, who was a fan of him. On the June 21 episode of Raw, Triple H faced Eugene in a match and tried to hit him with a chair, per Bischoff's orders, only for Benoit to run in for the save. Benoit, however, accidentally hit Eugene with the chair, making Triple H hit Benoit with a Pedigree. On the June 28 episode of Raw, Triple H offered Eugene to be an honorary member of Evolution, making William Regal confront Triple H. Later on, Triple H defeated Regal by disqualification as Eugene was the guest referee, making Eugene attack Regal. On the July 5 episode of Raw, Benoit teamed up with Edge and fought against Ric Flair, Eugene and Triple H. Triple H, Flair and Eugene won after Eugene hit Benoit with a chair.

Another primary feud heading into the event was between Edge and Randy Orton over the WWE Intercontinental Championship. After Edge came back from his injury, he vowed to take Evolution out. He started it by facing them, together with Chris Jericho and Chris Benoit, in a six men tag team elimination match on the June 14 episode of Raw, which Edge, Jericho and Benoit won. On the June 21 episode of Raw, Edge speared Orton, but then he and Jericho lost to him and Batista in a tag team match later on. On the June 28 episode of Raw, Edge and Jericho defeated Batista and Orton in a rematch. On the July 5 episode of Raw, Edge confronted Evolution, attacking them.

One of the main matches on the undercard was a No Disqualification match between Matt Hardy and Kane. On the May 17 episode of Raw, Kane attacked Hardy, and Lita promised him something for him to stop. On the June 21 episode of Raw, as Hardy proposed to Lita, Kane revealed that Lita was pregnant with his child, and not with Matt's child, as she slept with Kane in order to protect Hardy. On the June 28 episode of Raw, Hardy attacked Kane and was banned from ringside for the main event, which featured Kane challenging Chris Benoit for the World Heavyweight Championship. Kane lost, and then Lita attacked Kane in order to make him chokeslam her and losing the child. Kane, however, refused to do so. On the July 5 episode of Raw, Hardy attacked Kane again, and then was booked in a No Disqualification match against him at Vengeance.

Another one of the main matches on the undercard was a singles match between Chris Jericho and Batista. The feud started on the June 14 episode of Raw where Jericho eliminated Batista from a six man tag team elimination match. On the June 21 episode of Raw, during a tag team match pitting Jericho and Edge against Batista and Randy Orton, Batista knocked Jericho out before he and Orton won the match. On the June 28 episode of Raw, Jericho pinned Batista in a tag team rematch. On the July 5 episode of Raw, Batista cost Jericho a match for the WWE Intercontinental Championship against Orton.

Event

Before the pay-per-view went on live. Tyson Tomko defeated Val Venis in a match on Sunday Night Heat, by pinfall after performing a Kick to the face.

Preliminary matches
The first match saw Tajiri and Rhyno face Garrison Cade and Jonathan Coachman. Rhyno performed a Gore on Cade and Tajiri performed a Roundhouse Kick on Coachman for the win.

The second match saw Batista face  Chris Jericho. Batista gained the advantage early on, and put Jericho in a choke hold. Jericho countered the move into the Walls of Jericho. Batista won the match after a Batista Bomb. Jericho did put his foot on the ropes, but the referee failed to see it.

The next match was Eugene and Ric Flair facing La Résistance (Róbert Conway and Sylvain Grenier) for the World Tag Team Championship. The match started with Eugene using Flair's signature taunts to anger La Résistance, but La Résistance gained the advantage. Eugene was disqualified after he pushed the referee, meaning La Resistance retained the title. After the match ended, Eugene attacked both members of La Résistance.

The next match was a No Disqualification match between Matt Hardy and Kane. The match started on the outside with Kane getting the upper hand but Hardy hit him with a television monitor. Hardy attempted a Twist of Fate through a broadcast table but Kane countered by pushing Hardy into the security wall. Kane retrieved the steel steps but Lita distracted him, allowing Hardy to hit Kane with a steel chair to win the match.

Next was a match for the WWE Intercontinental Championship between Randy Orton and Edge. The match started off with Edge getting the advantage. Orton attempted an RKO but Edge countered by pushing Orton into the ropes and attempted a Spear but Orton avoided the move. Orton attempted an RKO but Edge countered into a backslide pin and executed a spear to win the title.

The sixth match was between Victoria and Molly Holly to determine the #1 contender for the WWE Women's Championship. Victoria executed a Superkick to win the match.

Main event
The main event was between Chris Benoit and Triple H for the World Heavyweight Championship. During the match, Benoit inadvertently knocked down the referee. Triple H executed the Pedigree but the referee was incapacitated. Triple H then called out Eugene, and told him to get a steel chair. Benoit attacked Triple H and knocked Eugene off the ring apron. Triple H then hit Benoit with a low blow and retrieved the chair. Triple H tried to hit Benoit with the chair but Eugene stopped him, causing Triple H to attack him. Eugene fought with Benoit over the chair and Eugene inadvertently hit Triple H with chair. Benoit pinned Triple H with a roll-up to retain the title.

Aftermath
The next night on Raw, Eugene apologized to Evolution (Batista, Ric Flair, Randy Orton and Triple H), and Triple H told Eugene to go see Eric Bischoff. Bischoff booked a match between Chris Benoit and Eugene later that night for the World Heavyweight Championship. At the end of the match, Evolution then come out and attacked Eugene and Benoit. William Regal attempted to help Eugene, but was stopped by Evolution. The feud between Triple H and Eugene lasted until SummerSlam, where they had a match, which Triple H won by pinfall.

On the July 26 episode of Raw, 20 men competed in an over the top rope Battle Royal to determine the number one contendership for the World Heavyweight Championship at SummerSlam. Randy Orton won the match by last eliminating Chris Jericho. At SummerSlam, Orton faced Chris Benoit for the World Heavyweight Championship, which Orton won by pinfall after performing an RKO. On the August 16 episode of Raw, Orton defeated Chris Benoit in a rematch to retain the World Heavyweight Championship. After the match, Batista, Ric Flair, and Triple H, threw Orton a mock celebration, only to turn on him. Flair and Batista attacked Orton as Triple H told him that he was nothing without Evolution. On the August 23 episode of Raw, Triple H told Orton to give him the title or pay the price. Orton refused, spat in Triple H's face and hit him with the title belt. General manager Eric Bischoff scheduled a match between Orton and Triple H for the title at Unforgiven. At Unforgiven, Orton lost the title when he was pinned by Triple H.

The Nikon D60 is a 10.2-megapixel Nikon F-mount digital single-lens reflex camera announced in January 2008. The D60 succeeds the entry-level Nikon D40x.  It features the Nikon EXPEED image processor introduced in the higher-end Nikon D3 and D300.

Like a number of other entry-level Nikon DSLRs, the D60 has no in-body autofocus motor, and fully automatic autofocus requires the use of a lens with an integrated autofocus-motor. With any other lenses the camera's electronic rangefinder  can be used to manually adjust focus.

New features
Compared to the D40, new features of the Nikon D60 include:
Stop-motion movie creation
Nikon EI-137 processor (same as D3000, D80, D40x, D40)
Self-cleaning sensor unit
Air-flow Control System that reduces the amount of dust that reaches the sensor
LCD Screen Orientation Rotation
Active D-Lighting (one level)
Kit lens with Vibration Reduction (VR) for same kit price as D40 before the Nikon D60 was released on February 24, 2008.
Manual flipping built-in flash with GN 12/39 (meters/feet) at ISO 100, 1/200 second maximum x-sync speed and has combination of auto, red eye reduction, slow sync and rear curtain, but not capable to be a Commander in Nikon's Wireless Lighting System.

Continuity
The Nikon D60 body is very similar to the Nikon D40, with the placement of several key buttons being the most notable difference. Like the D40, the Nikon D60 has no secondary display on top of the body (common in higher-end DSLR's), but instead displays shutter speed, f-stop, ISO and other information on the main LCD screen.

Reception
Digital Photography Review said that the D60 is more of a "subtle upgrade" to the D40 and praised its boost in performance, and new features such as Nikon D-Lighting and the dust-reduction system. They criticized the lack of mid-range features, such as a vertical grip and poor performance at high ISO when compared to Canon.

Ken Rockwell criticized the slower flash sync, more megapixels, and lower base ISO. However, he praised the camera's manual focus indicator, saying it was better than his D3.

Both Digital Photography Review and Rockwell noted that the lack of an in-body focus motor was not a problem due to the wide availability of AF-S lenses and their belief that serious photographers using more exotic Nikon glass would be shooting with a D200 or higher, not the D60.

Gary Kirkpatrick  (August 19, 1941 - February 22, 2021) was an American concert pianist from Junction City, Kansas.

Kirkpatrick received his Bachelor of Music at Eastman School of Music and his artist's diploma from the University of Music and Performing Arts, Vienna.

Kirkpatrick was a member of the award-winning Vehrder Trio, composed of a rare violin, clarinet and piano. The ensemble commissioned over 100 pieces, including five triple concertos, by such composers as Alan Hovhannes, Gunther Schuller, Ned Rorem and many others. They have recorded over 15 installments in the Making of a Medium CD Series.

Recently, Kirkpatrick was a member of The Halcyon Trio, a trio for Clarinet, Viola, and Piano. The instrumentation of this ensemble was invented by Mozart in his Kegelstatt Trio K. 498 for the same instrumentation known as Kegelstadt. The movie composer Lalo Schiffrin,  composer of the theme from Mission: Impossible, was commissioned to compose a triple concerto for the Halcyon Trio, which was premiered at The New Jersey Performing Arts Center in Newark, New Jersey with the New Jersey Symphony Orchestra conducted by Anne Mason.

He was recipient of the Top Prize in the International Piano Competition Premio in Jaén, Spain and the Stepenov Piano Competition. He made his New York City debut at Carnegie Recital Hall. He has worked as a soloist, chamber musician and teacher. He has performed in more than 40 countries, and has recently given the world premiere of John Link's Piano Concerto, premiered by the Wayne Chamber Orchestra.

Kirkpatrick was professor of music at William Paterson University, where he taught from 1973 to 2019. He received The Dean's Award for Excellent Artistic Achievement in 1995 for excellence in teaching. Kirkpatrick died on February 22, 2021, at age 79.

Grand Canyonscope is a Donald Duck animated short released in 1954. It was Disney's second cartoon filmed in CinemaScope (following Toot, Whistle, Plunk and Boom), and was produced to accompany Disney's first CinemaScope film 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea. (One joke has J. Audubon Woodlore breaking the fourth wall stating to the tourists in the CinemaScope version, "Uh, spread out, folks, this is CinemaScope." or in the non-CinemaScope version, "Uh, spread out, folks, this is a big canyon.") Additionally, this short marked as the first Donald Duck cartoon to be distributed by Disney's own distribution company, Buena Vista Distribution, instead of RKO Radio Pictures.

Plot
Donald is taking a tour of the Grand Canyon. Although he just wants to enjoy the whole exhibition, this is made all but impossible by the constant admonishment from the rulebook-wielding tour guide: none other than Ranger J. Audubon Woodlore. Donald and Woodlore continue to irritate each other — Donald by innocently tripping over various regulations ("Don't drop rocks into the canyon; Don't bother the native Americans; Don't yell at Echo Cliff"; You can't be on the tour without a burro to ride"; et al.), and Woodlore by chastising him for it — until Woodlore himself disturbs Louie the Mountain Lion... the last lion seen in these parts since the Civil War.

To Woodlore's shock, Louie is, in fact, the same lion! He proceeds to don a Confederate soldier's hat and gives chase (after Woodlore's failure to gain his confidence by whistling the Confederate tune Dixie). Woodlore is caught in the middle as Louie chases Donald through the Canyon, which results in most of it being destroyed (notably, a number of natural rock formations are smashed).

With all the other tourists having fled, Woodlore sternly — and rather insultingly — demands that both Donald and the lion must restore Grand Canyon to its original state that they ruined; accordingly, he passes them a couple of shovels and yells at them to start digging. Feeling extremely remorseful, Donald and Louie are actually crazy enough to go along with this; they mopingly begin the ponderous task of restoring the Grand Canyon to its former glory.

Voice cast
 Donald Duck: Clarence Nash
 J. Audubon Woodlore: Bill Thompson
 Louie the Mountain Lion: James MacDonald

Home media
The short was remastered and also released on November 11, 2008, on Walt Disney Treasures: The Chronological Donald, Volume Four: 1951–1961.

It was also released as a bonus feature on the DVD release of 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea.

The Karikari Peninsula on the east coast of the far north of Northland, New Zealand, is between Rangaunu Harbour to the west, and Doubtless Bay to the southeast. It is a right-angled land mass of two relatively distinct parts. The rocky northern part, which has an east–west orientation and is approximately 17 km long, was originally an island but is now connected to the mainland by a low sandy tombolo approximately 11 km long, which has a north–south orientation.  The spiritually significant Puwheke sits high above the north-facing beaches.

"How to Talk to Girls at Parties" is a science fiction short story written in 2006 by Neil Gaiman.

It is about a couple of British 1970s teenaged boys, Enn and Vic, who go to a party to meet girls, only to find that the girls are very different from the boys' expectations.

"How to Talk to Girls at Parties" was nominated for the 2007 Hugo Award for Best Short Story and won the Locus Award for Best Short Story in 2007. In 2009, it was the inspiration for a limited-edition poster with art by Camilla d'Errico, which was sold through Gaiman's merchandising site Neverwear. The poster had a limited run of 1200 copies, hand-numbered, and 10% of the proceeds were donated to the Comic Book Legal Defense Fund, a favourite charity of Gaiman's. Gaiman published a graphic novelization of the story in 2016, with art by Fábio Moon and Gabriel Bá, and a movie adaptation would ultimately premiere the following year at the Cannes Film Festival and widely release in May 2018 to split response from critics.

Synopsis
The story is about a shy boy named Enn who attends a party with his wild friend Vic. Enn narrates from thirty years later.

Enn and Vic get to a party where they are greeted by a girl named Stella who Vic immediately begins flirting with. Vic pushes Enn to just talk to any girl at the party. The first girl, who identifies herself as Wain's Wain, claims to be "a second" due to a minor deformity on her pinkie. Wain's Wain shows no interest in doing much due to not being "permitted" and tells a very unusual story about being in Rio at Carnival. Enn leaves to get some water for her, but when he comes back Wain's Wain is gone.

Enn meets a second girl with black spiky hair and a gap between her teeth who claims to be a "tourist" and elaborates on traveling to other places, most notably the Sun. Enn actually tries to get close with the gap-toothed girl, but is interrupted by Vic who reveals that they are at the wrong party. He nevertheless takes Stella upstairs presumably to have sex. Enn goes into the kitchen where he meets the third girl named Triolet. Triolet claims that her name is a form of poem and kisses Enn. She then whispers a "poem" into Enn's ear in a language that Enn is unable to identify, but it puts him in a trance.

A very angry and hectic Vic suddenly pulls Enn away. Enn reveals that he saw Stella staring down from the balcony with an expression that Enn can only describe as being that of an "angry universe". What Vic saw is never revealed, but it was enough to make him throw up and cry. The story ends with Enn admitting that try as he might he could not properly remember the poem whispered to him and would never be able to repeat it.

Graphic novel
A comic book adaptation by Neil Gaiman, Fábio Moon and Gabriel Bá was published as a graphic novel in 2016 by Dark Horse Comics.

Film

A feature film adaptation by See-Saw Films began shooting in the UK on November 9, 2015, produced by Howard Gertler alongside Iain Canning and Emile Sherman. John Cameron Mitchell was chosen as director, from a script he cowrote with Philippa Goslett. Elle Fanning and Alex Sharp took the lead roles, Nicole Kidman, Ruth Wilson and Matt Lucas also starring in the project. The film premiered at the 2017 Cannes Film Festival, and was more widely released in May 2018. Critic consensus indicated "mixed or average reviews" with Rotten Tomato's summary reading that it "has energy and ambition, but is ultimately too unfocused to do much with either".
