Georgina Baillie (born 7 July 1985) is an English actor, artist, post-punk singer, songwriter, and formerly a burlesque performer. Her stage names have included Voluptua and Georgie Girl.

From 2010 to 2013 she worked as a backing vocalist for Adam Ant and during 2011–2012 as the lead singer of the band Georgie Girl and her Poussez Posse that toured with Ant in over 100 concerts.

In October 2008, Baillie and her grandfather, the actor Andrew Sachs, were the targets of a prank phone call by Russell Brand and Jonathan Ross that resulted in reverberations in the British media.

Early life
Baillie was born 7 July 1985 in East London UK. Her mother is voiceover artist Kate Sachs and her father the actor Charles Baillie. Her maternal grandfather was the actor Andrew Sachs.

Career

Music
Baillie has worked with a number of bands over the years. In 2010 she worked with MariaMaria to release a single, "Sonnet for a Vampire."  Baillie performed vocals, with Sarah White on bass and Corrine Aze "Hazel" Corleone on guitar. From 2010–2013, Baillie sang backing vocals for Adam Ant. At first she sang with White and later with Georgina "Twinkle" Leahy; she later sang backup alone. As a member of Ant's band "The Good, The Mad and the Lovely Posse" she appeared as a backing vocalist in Ant's "Cool Zombie" music video, released on Blueblack Hussar Records and in concert footage featured in The Blueblack Hussar, a documentary about Ant's early 2010s musical comeback directed by Jack Bond, as well as in extras included on the film's DVD release.

Baillie co-wrote two songs in response to the Jonathan Ross/Russell Brand incident discussed below. One was  "Gun In Your Pocket", a song by Ant with input from Baillie in which both Baillie and Brand are discussed. "Gun In Your Pocket" was written in 2010 as single for Ant's upcoming album Adam Ant Is the Blueblack Hussar in Marrying the Gunner's Daughter.' In the end the song was released in late 2012 as the B side of the pre-album single "Cool Zombie". The other song was "Rubber Medusa" – a song addressed to Brand from Baillie's point of view, co-written with Ant.

From 2011 to 2012, Baillie was lead singer of the band Georgie Girl And Her Poussez Posse, which Ant mentored. There were two incarnations of Poussez Posse.  The original line-up featured Baillie with Fiona Bevan and Danie Cox both on guitars, Rachael Smith on drums and Molly Spiers Macleod (daughter of Spizz) on bass. Footage from early 2011 of a band meeting of this first incarnation at Ant's home is included in Bond's documentary.  They recorded a single of "Rubber Medusa" (b/w "Teacher") and an EP of four of Cox's songs. Both projects remain unreleased. Bevan left to concentrate on her own music in July 2011 and Cox, Smith and Spiers Macleod all abruptly left in September (to found their own band The Featherz, led by Cox).

At this point, the second incarnation of the Posse was recruited, featuring the return of Corleone on guitar, drummer Jessica Rushton and future Curse of Lono bassist Charis Anderson. This version toured the UK, mainland Europe and Australia supporting Ant and his band between October 2011 and December 2012, with Baillie performing double duty every night as both the Posse's frontwoman and Ant's backing vocalist.

Early in 2013, Baillie dissolved the second Posse. She sang vocals and Corleone played guitar as the duo Vortex Empress. They produced two tracks, "Burn Me" and "Spellbound" and a music video for the former.  From mid to late 2013, she sang backing vocals in Guns 2 Roses, (the official Guns 'N Roses tribute act). In 2016, she worked with Boz Boorer singing vocals on the track "Le Stalker" on Boorer's solo album Age of Boom.

John Robb of Louder Than War, in a full interview for the site, described Baillie's work as "punky burlesque". The London Evening Standard has profiled her music career  and musical collaboration and friendship with Ant. The Tampa Bay Times describes "Georgie Girl & Her Poussez Posse"'s music as "fresh and rough" comparing their sound to "Hole vs Garbage vs a sexy, roller-derby squad".

Burlesque
Baillie has worked in burlesque, some of her collaborators and projects include: Salvation Group, and Satanic Sluts Extreme, a  four piece "gothic burlesque" dance group originating as an offshoot of the online subculture "Satanic sluts" organised by Nigel Wingrove; her persona's stage name was Voluptua.  Self-described as: "four of the sexiest depraved London jezebels", they performed at Glastonbury music festival and in several music videos.

Acting
As well as showing her as backing vocalist and apprentice to Ant as noted above, her appearance in Jack Bond's documentary The Blueblack Hussar also features her life at Ant's house in early 2011 and her accompanying Ant as he goes about his comeback, including being in the studio for an early 2011 Xfm radio session.

After she stopped working with Ant, Baillie studied acting at The Poor School of drama in London in the mid 2010s. In 2015, she debuted in the role of "Ruth" in the Harold Pinter's play The Homecoming. In 2021, she was cast in the lead role in White Witch, at the Bloomsbury Theatre (2021). In 2021 she appeared in the  Kevin Short film, Tom and his Zombie Wife.

Art
Baillie began producing cartoon-like drawings in 2017 as part of rehab. Later she began painting and producing silkscreen prints.

2008 prank call incident

During the 18 October 2008 episode of BBC Radio 2's The Russell Brand Show, comedian Russell Brand and presenter Jonathan Ross called actor Andrew Sachs (Baillie's grandfather) live on air for an interview. When Sachs failed to take the call, Ross and Brand left a series of four "lewd" messages on Sachs' answering machine, about Baillie's sexual relationship with Brand. The incident was picked up by the tabloids, and later resulted in Brand and Radio 2 controller Lesley Douglas resigning from the BBC, Ross being suspended without pay for twelve weeks, and the BBC being fined £150,000 by Ofcom.

The media referred to the incident as "Sachsgate". Sachs never gave his consent to have these messages broadcast on the air. This led to the estrangement of Baillie with her grandparents that lasted for years. The sociologist, Chris Rojeck, described Ross and Brand's exploit as an "invasion of privacy", and stated that "their remorse is not focused on Andrew Sachs or Georgina Baillie, the victims whose privacy has been violated" but rather the two comedians felt remorse for receiving negative public reactions and disapproval of their stunt.

In 2009, shortly after the incident, Adam Ant befriended Baillie, and they have remained close friends. For several years, Ant mentored Baillie and encouraged her to reconcile with her grandfather after the controversy.  He hired Baillie as his assistant to oversee his day to day calendar scheduling. He also asked her to perform back up vocals for his performances. He refers to himself as "her mentor" regarding the Sachsgate episode.

Global Talk Show, also known as Misuda, was a South Korean television program on Korean Broadcasting System (KBS). The show features a panel of foreign women residing in South Korea, usually as international students, who discussed their experiences and cultures in a talk show format in the Korean language. After high viewer ratings from its first broadcast on October 7, 2006 during the Chuseok holiday, it became a regularly broadcast program starting November 26, 2006. Its final episode was aired on Christmas 2010.

Overview
The show's name has been variously translated as Chat with Beauties, Chatting Beauties, Beautiess Chatterbox, or Misuda (a shortened version of its Korean name).

The show was hosted by Nam Hui-seok, a television personality and comedian. Later on, announcer Eom Ji-in joined as co-host, and eventually Lee Yun-seok and Seo Gyeong-seok became the final hosts. The song "Bring It All Back" by S Club 7 is played after the opening cut to the studio floor that follows the playing of the opening intro and the viewer advisory that it is a rated "15" program. Unlike most talk shows, Global Talk Show does not have a live studio audience and instead uses audience laughter and applause tracks as well as on-screen text and sound effects.

In 2009 the program came under attack, receiving widespread criticism by internet users after a student panelist labeled short men (men under 180 cm) as "losers". The program suffered a decline in popularity thereafter and was later cancelled. Nevertheless, the popularity of the program gave celebrity status within South Korea to some of the panelists. A portion of the program was also published as a book featuring the same subject.

Notable alumnae
Many Misuda graduates have gone on to become highly active in the entertainment industry both in Korea and abroad:
 Bronwyn Mullen (브로닌 멀렌) and Sayuri Fujita regularly appear on KBS, SBS, and MBC.
 Vickie Eisenstein and Marie-Anne Pasquet have both appeared on KBS's Go Go! Korea Travelogue (Go Go 코리아 황금발)
 Annabelle Ambrose (애나벨 앰브로스) hosted the radio show Drivetime on tbs eFM with Sam Hammington.
 Vera Hohleiter published a book in Germany about her experiences in Korea, which was interpreted by many South Koreans to be unduly critical of their country.

Other versions
YouTube once had a home recorded video of the "Korea Talk Show", with people from different provinces in South Korea. There were two episodes uploaded in 2009. The video was not very famous and has now been deleted by the user.
Thailand has a Thai language version of this show on the Thai TV channel TV3 by the name of Sonthana Kham Ayu (; "Discussion Over Age"), with its participants hailing from all over Thailand and grouped by age from 5-14, 15-24, 25-34, 35-44, 45-54 and 55+, with each age range represented by 1 to 2 people. The sign have the name and age range. The show premiered in May 2011.

John Francis Stretch (28 January 1855 – 19 April 1919) was an Australian Anglican bishop.

Early life

Stretch was born in Geelong, Victoria, the son of Reverend John Cliffe Theodore Stretch and his wife Frances (née Heath). He was educated at Geelong Church of England Grammar School. On 2 July 1872, he was the first student to enrol in Trinity College, Melbourne, which was the first residential college of the University of Melbourne. He graduated BA in 1874 and LLB in 1887.

Religious life
Ordained in 1878, he began his ordained ministry as a curate in Geelong. In 1892, Stretch became vicar of St Andrew's Church, Brighton, Melbourne having previously served as incumbent of Holy Trinity Church in Maldon and St Mark's Church in Fitzroy. He was appointed to be Dean of Ballarat in 1894.

Stretch was consecrated as a bishop in 1895 as the first co-adjutor bishop for the Brisbane diocese. He was the first Australian to become an Anglican bishop in Australia. His consecration service (along with Henry Cooper who was made the coadjutor bishop for Ballarat) was held at St Paul's Cathedral in Melbourne on 9 November 1895 (the consecration was only the second occasion that such a service had happened in Australia at that time).

On Saturday 20 June 1896, he officially opened  St Alban's Anglican church in Cunnamulla. Stretch was injured on his way to Cunnamulla, as he shot at a turkey from his buggy, frightening the horses, resulting in a crash with a tree stump. Although he sustained "serious contusions" to his forehead and hand, he was still able to perform the ceremony.

In 1906 he was made the Bishop of Newcastle in New South Wales.

Later life
In failing health, Stretch announced his retirement on 24 January 1919 to officially take effect on 30 June 1919, but unofficially retired almost immediately. He died following a stroke on 19 April 1919 in Lindfield, Sydney, survived by his two daughters and four sons. His body was taken to Christ Church Cathedral in Newcastle, where his funeral service was conducted on Monday 21 April 1919 by John Wright (Archbishop of Sydney). After the funeral, there was a procession through the streets to the railway station. Stretch was buried in the Anglican section of Sandgate Cemetery, Newcastle with the burial service conducted by Archbishop Wright.

Two of his sons, John Carlos William and Cliffe Maurice Osmond, were also Anglican clergy.

Sylvain-François Jules Merle de la Brugière, comte de Laveaucoupet (28 April 1806 in Saint-Sulpice-le-Dunois, Creuse – 18 May 1892) was a French general.

Life
He was the son of Sylvie de la Celle and her husband François Merle de la Brugière, émigré and soldier in the armée of Condé. François became a captain on the Bourbon Restoration.

In 1814 he was admitted to La Flèche, then to Saint-Cyr in 1824, and received one of the honorary sabres granted by Charles X to the fifteen top graduates of Saint-Cyr.  Made a sous-lieutenant in the 34th regiment of the line, he took part in the conquest of Algeria and on his father's advice swore to obey the new constitution of 1830.  He returned to Algeria in 1836 as aide-de-camp to general Trézel, with whom he participated in the 1836 Constantine expedition.  For his conduct on that campaign and for saving general Trézel after the latter was wounded by a musket-ball, he was decorated with the Légion d’honneur.

Punishing the popular revolt of 15 September 1841 at Clermont-Ferrand, many people demanded his promotion but this was refused by Louis-Philippe of France due to his belonging to an Ultra-royalist family.  A candidate for the deputation of 1848, he was not elected, though he rose to colonel in 1851.  In the Italian campaign he was chef d’état-major of the Motte-Rouge division of the 2nd Army Corps under the orders of Mac-Mahon. He was wounded in the fighting at Turbigo, then at the battle of Magenta.

Made a general on 28 February 1868, he received the command of the 3rd division of 2nd Corps in 1870.  On 2 August 1870 he and Bataille  were charged with a reconnaissance which led to the battle of Sarrebruck.  He fought at the battle of Spicheren on 6 August then retreated to Metz, which surrendered on 28 October, leaving Laveaucoupet a prisoner.  When he returned to France he was recalled by the National Assembly of 1871.  He fought in the last battles and in the raising of the Montmartre butte on 28 May 1871 during the Commune of Paris in 1871. He was called as a witness at the trial of Bazaine.

Košíře is a district of Prague, part of the municipal area Prague 5. It is situated in the valley of the Motol brook between the districts Smíchov and Motol. Košíře became a town in 1896 and was joined onto Prague in 1921.

History

Košíře was a village until the second half of the 19th century. Thanks to the development of industry it was necessary to build accommodation there, because workers were moving there. The first electric tram in Prague was also tested there on the tram line from Anděl to Košíře (today Kavalírka).

Characteristics

Košíře is a mostly residential district. Košíře is also the location for many embassies, such as the Indonesian and Vietnamese.

Wellstead is a small rural town situated in Western Australia in the Great Southern region between Albany and Esperance.

The name commemorates the Wellstead family who settled in the area in 1860 and had held grazing land between Cape Riche (which is part of the locality) and Bremer Bay.
Farmland was opened up in the area in the 1960s for cereal cropping and land was set aside for a town site. The town site was gazetted in 1965 shortly after establishing a telephone exchange.

John Wellstead still lived in the area in 1881 and sold 700 head of cattle via the market in Albany early the same year. He died in Albany in 1896 but his sons, including John Jr., continued the family pastoral interests in the area.

The surrounding areas produce wheat and other cereal crops. The town is a receival site for Cooperative Bulk Handling.

Lithacodia uncula, the silver hook, is a moth of the family Noctuidae. The species was first described by Carl Alexander Clerck in 1759. It is found in the Palearctic realm.

Distribution
Lithacodia uncula has a vast distribution area ranging from the French western Pyrenees to Japan. In the north it extends to south and central England, Ireland, Scandinavia in the areas around the Baltic Sea, in Finland and northern Russia. Largely missing in the Mediterranean with the exception of two smaller occurrences on the French Mediterranean coast and in Tuscany, as well as on the northern Adriatic coast (in northern Italy, Slovenia and Croatia). In south-eastern Europe the distribution area stretches far to the south to northern Albania and northern Greece. From there it runs east (Russian Far East, northern China, Japan, Korea). Also to the south in Bulgaria, Ukraine, Crimea and southern Russia, Central Asia and Siberia.

Description

The wingspan is 20–22 mm. Wings short and broad. Forewing olive brown, darker in disc; a broad tannish-peach coloured streak along the costa and another on the inner margin; the orbicular and reniform stigmata tannish peach, whiter edged, confluent with the costal streak; some pale lines before termen, straight and parallel, the innermost white; hindwing paler; the dark-suffused examples are named obscurior Spul.

Biology
The moth flies from May to September depending on the location.

Larva green with the dorsal line darker; the subdorsal lines whitish; the spiracular pale yellow. The larvae feed on various grasses and Carex species.

Dying Breed is a 2008 Australian horror film that was directed by Jody Dwyer and stars Leigh Whannell and Nathan Phillips.

Plot
The film opens in Tasmania, 1800s. Alexander Pearce, a convict known as "the Pieman", has escaped into the wilderness and he is being hunted by policemen with dogs. He is faced by a policeman who attempts to shoot Pearce, but his gun does not fire. Pearce then bites the policeman's neck, taking a large chunk from his throat, killing him, allowing Pearce to escape. In his escape he is confronted with a Tasmanian tiger, whom he sates by kicking a piece of the policeman over to for the predator to eat.

In the present day, Nina plans a trip with her boyfriend Matt to Tasmania to find the supposedly extinct Tasmanian tiger. Her endeavor is encouraged by a paw print that was discovered by her older sister in a remote area of the island before her body was mysteriously found in the Pieman River several years before. Matt's friend, Jack, and his girlfriend, Rebecca, help pay for the trip and accompany the fellow couple. When they arrive, Matt sees a small girl on the boat playing a game with yellow-tinted teeth. When Matt asks what she is doing, she recites a rhyme, then bites Matt's hand. They spend a night in a dingy motel located next to a meat pie factory, meeting the eccentric and creepy locals.

The next day, the group goes out on a boat in the river along the forest. They decide to camp in a cave out in the woods, and later that evening Matt and Nina discover one of the Tasmanian tigers creeping through the bush. Nina rushes to get her camera to take a picture of the marsupial, but it has run into the woods. The group goes into the dark after the animal using their cell phones as light because capturing proof of its existence is critical to Nina's research. Unbeknownst to the rest of the group, Rebecca is captured and eaten by a cannibal. When the other three re-group, they realize that Rebecca is missing and that Nina has blood on her pant legs.

Desperate to find Rebecca, the group searches through the forest. The local ferryman tries to help them but is murdered by one of the cannibals. Reaching an old mining site, they find Rebecca's remains strung up on meat-hooks and Jack is killed by an animal trap. Matt flees underground and finds grisly evidence of the cannibal's past exploits. Nina reaches a railway bridge over a fast-flowing river but is cornered by a pair of cannibals. She deliberately throws herself off the high bridge. The ferryman's wife then kills one of the cannibals and then slits her own throat after apologizing to Matt. That night, the police arrive at the hotel but there is no sign of any of the missing people. As the police depart, a sad and weary Matt prepares to leave but is suddenly attacked.

He is later seen paralyzed in a chair while one of the cannibals explains that their settlement, much like the Tasmanian tiger, must stay hidden to survive. The cannibal then opens a door exposing a still-living Nina tied to a table, about to be raped for breeding purposes. While Matt watches, the young girl who was actually Nina's niece approaches him, removes a set of dentures, thus exposing a set of sharp deformed teeth. As the police drive away, Nina's mobile phone (which Matt had given them) displays a photo of the Tasmanian Tiger.

Henri Jules Bataille (6 September 1816, Le Bourg-d'Oisans, Isère – 10 January 1882, Paris) was a nineteenth-century French soldier.  He rose to général de division of infantry, saw colonial service in Algeria, and fought in the Second Italian War of Independence and the Franco-Prussian War. He was awarded the Grand Cross of the Legion of Honour.

Life

Early life
Henri Jules Bataille was the son of Captain Jean Pierre Bataille and Sophie Antoinette Garnier. Jean Pierre Bataille, born 14 January 1772 at Bourg-d’Oisans, was a cavalry captain who achieved the distinction of Chevalier de la Légion d'honneur and Ordre royal de la Couronne de Fer. He enlisted in 1791 in the first battalion of Isère, then incorporated into the Army of the Alps. As a young corporal at the Battle of Rivoli on 14–15 January 1797, he and three comrades took 116 prisoners, and he received a sabre of honor for this feat of arms. From 1800 to 1815 he participated in all of Napoleon Bonaparte's campaigns from the Egyptian campaign of 1798–1801 to the Waterloo campaign of 1815. He died in 1823.

After Jean Pierre Bataille's death, the French Minister of War, Aimé, duc de Clermont-Tonnerre, toured Bataille's home province, Dauphiné. Jean Pierre Bataille's widow requested of Aimé that her son, Henri Jules Bataille, be admitted to the Collège Henri-IV de La Flèche, a military school. The younger Bataille was accepted.

Military career
On 16 November 1834, Bataille entered the French military academy at Saint-Cyr. Graduating in October 1836, he was appointed a sous-lieutenant (second lieutenant) in the 22nd Line Infantry Regiment. On 30 January 1839, he embarked with his regiment for Algeria, where he was stationed until 10 September 1841. While there, he was promoted to lieutenant on 25 May 1840, and he later achieved the rank of capitaine on 12 March 1843. On 9 February 1847 he became adjutant major in the French Foreign Legion's 2nd Foreign Infantry Regiment. In 1849, he was present at the Siege of Zaatcha of 16 July – 26 November 1849, where we was wounded in the shoulder. He was mentioned in orders by the Army of Africa. He became the commander of a battalion of native troops from Constantine and participated in the Kabylia campaign in 1850, most notably in action on 24 June 1850 at Djemaa Beni Habibi, and General Jacques Leroy de Saint-Arnaud cited him in a report for his leadership of the battalion. He received the Knight's Cross of the Legion of Honour on 12 December 1850.

Viewed in the French Army as a promising young officer, Bataille was made lieutenant colonel of the 56th Line Infantry Regiment on 8 August 1851. In 1853 he returned to Algeria to again serve with the 2nd Foreign Infantry Regiment, beginning another four-year stay in Algeria that lasted until September 1857 and during which he often took part in or led expeditions into the Algerian countryside. During this tour of duty in Algeria he became colonel of the 45th Line Infantry Regiment on 7 February 1854 and was awarded the Officer's Cross of the Legion of Honour on 12 June 1856. On 12 August 1857, shortly before leaving Algeria, he was promoted to général de brigade.

In April 1859, Bataille went to Italy for combat operations in the Second Italian War of Independence. Serving in the III Corps, he participated in the Battle of Magenta on 4 June 1859, performing so well that he was made a Commander of the Legion of Honour on 16 June 1859. On 16 August 1866, he was promoted to the rank of major general.

When the Franco-Prussian War broke out in July 1870, Bataille was in command of the 2nd Division of général de division Charles Auguste Frossard's II Army Corps. His division led Frossard's forces in the war's opening battle, the Battle of Saarbrücken, on 2 August 1870. At the Battle of Spicheren on 6 August, Frossard placed Bataille's division in reserve, but Bataille committed the division to action without orders from Frossard, splitting it into two parts to support the French line against the German attack and shoring up the French line, although denying Frossard any opportunity to maneuver by committing his reserve. Judging the threat on the French left to be growing, Bataille on his own initiative detached a regiment to reinforce the left, and at the end of the day had to extract the elements of his division on the French right around Stiring-Wendel under difficult circumstances as the French army pulled back from the battlefield.

At the Battle of Mars-la-Tour on 16 August 1870, Bataille's division held the part of the French line at Vionville and Flavigny-sur-Moselle. He was wounded in the stomach during the battle. He had two horses killed under him at the Battle of Gravelotte on 18 August 1870. In danger of losing his life, he was transported to Metz, which was surrounded by German forces on 19 August 1870 and eventually surrendered on 27 October 1870 after the 70-day Siege of Metz. Bataille was taken prisoner when Metz capitulated.

The Franco-Prussian War ended in January 1871. Returning to France after his captivity in Germany, Bataille was appointed commander of the II Corps of the Army of Versailles in July 1871. He became a Grand Officer of the Legion of Honour on 3 October 1871. In 1873, he was appointed head of the V Corps headquartered in Orléans, and he was awarded the Great Cross of the Legion of Honour on 11 January 1876.

In 1879, the political left of the French Chamber of Deputies under the Chamber's president, Léon Gambetta, proposed to the President of France, Marshall of France Patrice de MacMahon, a decree which revolved around confiscating and diminishing the number of military commands held by certain generals, including Bataille, Charles-Denis Bourbaki, François Charles du Barail and Auguste-Alexandre Ducrot. MacMahon refused to sign it, and resigned on 30 January 1879. MacMahon's successor as president, Jules Grévy, signed the decree on 11 February 1879. Bataille retired from the army at his own request on 19 September 1881.

Later life
Bataille served as General Councillor for Le Bourg-d'Oisans for two years, then retired, as he did not enjoy political life.

"Crawling King Snake" (alternatively "Crawlin' King Snake" or "Crawling/Crawlin' Kingsnake") is a blues song that has been recorded by numerous blues and other artists.  It is believed to have originated as a Delta blues in the 1920s and be related to earlier songs, such as "Black Snake Blues" by Victoria Spivey and "Black Snake Moan" by Blind Lemon Jefferson.

As "Crawling King Snake", it was first recorded by Big Joe Williams on March 27, 1941.  The song is a country-style blues, with Williams on vocal and nine-string guitar and William Mitchell providing imitation bass accompaniment.  On June 3, 1941, Delta bluesman Tony Hollins recorded "a markedly different version", which served as the basis for many subsequent versions.

John Lee Hooker versions
John Lee Hooker began performing "Crawling King Snake" early in his career and included it in his sets after arriving in Detroit, Michigan in the early 1940s.  In an interview, Hooker explained that he adapted Tony Hollins' song: "I got that 'Crawling King Snake' from him [Hollins]".  Hooker first recorded the song in Detroit on February 18, 1949 for producer Bernard Besman.  When it was released by Los Angeles-based Modern Records, "Crawling King Snake" became one of Hooker's most successful singles, reaching number six on the Billboard R&B chart in 1949. Hooker recorded several subsequent versions of the song, including one with Rolling Stones guitarist Keith Richards for Hooker's 1991 album Mr. Lucky.

Other recordings
"Crawling King Snake" has been recorded by numerous musicians and the song "became a concert staple for dozens of blues-rock bands". In 1971, the Doors recorded a rock adaptation of "Crawling King Snake". Band drummer John Densmore recalled that the group often listened to the song during their early years; vocalist Jim Morrison suggested they record it, which the Doors eventually did for their sixth album, L.A. Woman. For the recording, additional instrumentation was provided by Jerry Scheff on bass and Marc Benno on rhythm guitar.

In April 2021, a version by the Black Keys was released as a single ahead of the release of their tenth studio album Delta Kream. The group's singer and guitarist Dan Auerbach came upon it by way of a recording by Junior Kimbrough. He explained:

Camille Alphonse Trézel (5 January 1780, in Paris – 11 April 1860, in Paris) was a French général de division, Minister for War and peer of France during the July Monarchy. He was the assistant chief of the general staff on the Morea expedition, and served in the 1830s in the French conquest of Algeria, where he suffered a disastrous defeat at the Battle of Macta.

Life
In 1801, Camille Alphonse Trezel entered as a draftsman into the office of the war and in 1803 attained the rank of lieutenant in the body of topographical engineers. Posted in 1804 to Army of Holland, he was promoted the following year to assistant engineer geographer. After the Polish campaign, he was appointed acting aide to General Gardane at French embassy to Persia in 1807–1808, then aide to General Armand Charles Guilleminot on his return in 1809. He was secretary of the Committee on Delimitation of Illyria, was promoted to captain (1810), and transferred to the Spanish army. Recalled to Germany in late 1811, he worked at the Hanseatic surveying department, on the campaign to Rome, became lieutenant-commander (1813), Chief of Staff of the 13th Division, and worked on the defense of Mainz.

For the Hundred Days campaign, he was called to the Grand Army, and showed such bravery in the Battle of Ligny, where he took a shot to the left eye, that he was promoted to brigadier general by decree on 5 July 1815. This appointment was canceled the following month by the Bourbons, so he resumed his place in the headquarters in 1818 as a colonel, and was attached to the commission of delimitation of the East (1816–1818), then the filing of war (1822). He distinguished himself again in the Spanish Civil War of 1820–1823, and was a member of the advisory committee of staff and secretary of the committee reorganization. He joined the Morea expedition as Deputy Chief of Staff (1828), and was promoted to field marshal in 1829.

Algerian campaign

In 1831, he went to Africa.  He commanded the expedition of Bougie and was wounded in the leg while taking possession of the city on 29 September 1833. Called to replace Louis Alexis Desmichels in the province of Oran, he won several victories against the Zmalas and Douairs, commanded by Agha Mustapha Ben Ismail, Chief of the Douairs, Agha Kadour Ben El Morsly, chief of the Beni Amer (Mounted infantry, and Agha Benaouda Mazari, chief of the Zmal. At the 16 June 1835 camp of Valmy Figuiers (El Karma), a treaty was concluded between the Chief and General Trezel, whereby Zmal Douairs and recognized each subject, tributaries and soldiers of France. These tribes refused to pay the zakat (Ashura) was the Emir Abd el-Kader.

The general saw himself obliged to act against Abd-el-Kader to protect these tribes that wanted to punish the emir. This led to the disaster of the Battle of Macta on 28 June, following another defeat the day before in the forest of Muley Ismail. In both attacks, Trezel was attacked by ten thousand men, when he had only 1,700 men and 600 horses.

In his report to the governor, Trezel nonetheless called himself solely responsible for the disaster: "I submit without complaint and blame any severity that the royal government deems necessary to exercise to me... hoping he will not refuse to reward the brave who have distinguished themselves in these two fights. Count Erlon, who was governor, withdrew his command.

Recalled to France, he returned to Algeria the following year to take part in the Constantine Expedition of 1836, during which he was seriously wounded and recalled to France. In 1837, during the Constantine Expedition of 1837 on the same city, he was given command of the 2nd Brigade. He was promoted to lieutenant general on 11 November 1837 and became the staff director of the Department of War (15 May 1839) and committee member of staff.

He was given the title Peer of France on 21 July 1846. He became war minister under Jean-de-Dieu Soult on 9 May 1847, instead of Alexandre Pierre Chevalier Moline de Saint-Yon. He held these positions in the government of François Guizot until the fall of the July Monarchy on 24 February 1848.

Automatically set to retire on 8 June 1848, in 1853, he was called by Philippe d'Orleans and Robert d'Orléans to become military governor and retained this office until the majority of the Comte de Paris in 1856.

The Generating Company was a touring circus company producing large shows and events around the world. Most recent shows include 'Voyage de la Vie' at Resorts World Sentosa in Singapore and 'Aqua' the world's largest water show were located in Shenzhen southern China. The company also produced events and ran training programmes for artists and young people. The company was based in London, England and Le Buisson-de-Cadouin, France.

History

Formation
The Generating Company founder, Paul Cockle, was Production Manager for the Millennium Dome Show directed by Peter Gabriel, Mark Fisher and Micha Bergese, in 1998 to create a show for the Millennium Experience, an exhibition hosted at the Millennium Dome to welcome the third millennium. The team turned to Circus Space, now the National Centre for Circus Arts, which was the first centre in the UK to offer a degree in circus arts. With little more than a year until opening night, Circus Space formed an accredited programme and trained 87 aerial performers for the Dome show.

The Dome show premiered on New Year's Eve, 1999. While the Dome itself was mired in controversy and financial woes, the show opened to critical success. With only a year-long contract at the Dome, many of the show's performers considered a return to Circus Space to continue their careers. When the show closed at the end of 2000, about 20 of the performers returned to Circus Space to form The Generating Company, a small traveling company that retained many of the characteristics of the original Dome performance.

Financing and schools
Following their success at the Dome and Circus Space, The Generating Company received a £70,000 grant from the National Endowment for Science Technology and the Arts and grants from the Arts Council England to begin a touring company. After a local show, Storm, performed at Circus Space in Hoxton, The Generating Company began pursuing a "fusion of professional training with an extended performance contract linked to future touring opportunities." It opened its first school in 2002, offering summer courses devised for children interested in circus skills. It also hosted programs at Trinity Buoy Wharf through 2009.

In 2008, The Generating Company moved the majority of its professional schooling and develop a creative centre at Le Buisson-de-Cadouin, France. Paul Cockle explained that setting up the company in France offered the chance to develop a residential centre where artists can live and work together. The Generating Company still has administration offices in London but its core operation is based in France.

Gomphus vulgatissimus, the common clubtail,  is a medium-sized (wingspan 6 –7 cm.) species of dragonfly in the family Gomphidae. It is found in most of Europe, and is present now in the south of France. Its natural habitats are clean, slow moving streaming rivers and creeks with sandy soil. It can be seen from mid-April in the south to August. Once they hatched out of water, they live shortly. As the common name suggests, this medium-sized species has a distinctive club-shaped abdomen. The males are black with extensive yellow markings on the thorax and abdomen which turn green as the insect ages. The females are black with extensive yellow markings. In the British Isles the adult flight period extends from mid May to early July.
