Frank Freeman's Barber Shop is an 1852 plantation fiction novel written by Baynard Rush Hall.

Overview

Frank Freeman's Barber Shop is an example of the numerous anti-Tom novels produced in the southern United States in response to the publication of Uncle Tom's Cabin by Harriet Beecher Stowe, which was criticised as inaccurately depicting plantation life as well as the relationship between slaveholders and their slaves.

Hall's novel is among the earliest examples of the genre, and focuses on criticisms of abolitionism and how it can be exploited – a concept later visited in The Planter's Northern Bride by Caroline Lee Hentz (1854).

Plot

The story focuses on a slave named Frank (later Frank Freeman), who is convinced to run away from his peaceful life on a Southern plantation by "philanthropists" (Hall's term for abolitionists), having been promised that freedom would also bring a prestigious career. When Frank comes to the end of his journey, however, he realises that he has been deceived: his prestigious career is nothing more than running a seedy barber shop frequented by his new abolitionist masters, and is paid meagre wages for his work. However, Frank is soon discovered by members of the American Colonization Society, who rescue Frank from his predicament and pay for his passage back to Liberia, his homeland, where he can finally live in peace.

In other works

Chapter VII of Freeman – entitled The Death of Dinah – is strongly echoed in a later anti-Tom novel: Uncle Robin, in His Cabin in Virginia, and Tom Without One in Boston by J.W. Page (1853), in which another character also named Dinah passes away as a redeemed Christian, as does the character of Dinah in Hall's novel. The death of a Christianized slave was a frequent cliche used in anti-Tom novels, and another example of this is the death of Aunt Phillis in Eastman's Aunt Phillis's Cabin.
The 1853 novel Liberia; or, Mr. Peyton's Experiments bears some similarities to Freeman, particularly as both feature ex-slaves who are sent to Liberia after leading miserable lives in the north.

Debauve & Gallais is a French chocolate manufacturer founded by Sulpice Debauve in 1800. After his nephew Antoine Gallais joined the company in 1823, the company adopted their current name. In 1819 the company received the royal warrant as purveyors to the French court, and was the official chocolate supplier for Emperor Napoleon and of kings Louis XVIII, Charles X and Louis Philippe.

History
Sulpice Debauve (1757–1836), former chemist to French king Louis XVI, devised "the novel combination of cocoa, cane sugar, and medicine after Marie Antoinette complained to him about the unpleasant taste of the medicines she had to take." The queen was so pleased that she named those exquisite coin-shaped chocolates Pistoles. Debauve continued to create a variety of flavored Pistoles for the queen. Finally in 1800, Debauve opened his first chocolate shop on the Rive Gauche of Paris, at Faubourg Saint-Germain.

In 1816, Debauve was appointed as the sole chocolate supplier to the French royal families. In 1819, Napoleon's official architects Percier and Fontaine designed the new shop, which is now classified as a historical monument, located at 30 Rue des Saints-Pères. In 1823, Debauve took in his nephew Jean-Baptiste Auguste Gallais (1787–1838), also a chemist, as an associate in order to create and distribute his dietary chocolates; known then as "healthy chocolates" they were made with almond milk, vanilla and orange blossom water. Gallais published four years later in 1827 his Monographie du cacao ou manuel de l'amateur de chocolat which offered a scientific approach to chocolate.

Sulpice Debauve died in 1836, followed by his nephew Jean-Baptiste Galais in 1838. Their trade was then acquired by Mr. Théry who handed it over, in 1857, to Nicolas-Eugène Hugon. The later built in 1857 a factory powered by a steam engine, located in the 7th arrondissement of Paris. He was awarded a bronze medal at the Universal Exposition of Art and Industry of Paris in 1867.

His son Gustave took the head of the company in 1873 and contributed to raise Debauve & Gallais to the finest french chocolate brands. Striving to sell an affordable (3,80 francs per kilogram) premium chocolate (made of cocoa and sugar only), he was awarded a silver medal at the Universal Exposition of Paris in 1878 and a gold medal at the Universal Exposition of Antwerp the same year, for the chocolat éclair ("flash chocolate"), a product based on chocolate granules for making instant hot drinks. Other gold medals were obtained at the Universal Expositions of Paris in 1889  and 1900. Later, the shop and the factory became managed by the two sons of Gustave Hugon: Maurice and Georges. In the 1930s their respective sons, Jacques and Robert, took over the business. For more than a century, until the Hugon's factory shut down in 1966, the style of the shop and of the packaging of the Debauve & Gallais chocolates had been carefully conserved.

In contemporary times
Debauve & Gallais claims to be one of the few former royal suppliers in France who retain their independence, and are family owned and operated till today. In 1989, Madame Paule Cuvelier took over the Debauve & Gallais establishment. With the help of her son, Bernard Poussin, Debauve & Gallais have now expanded their business worldwide and have offices in New York, Seoul, Busan, Dubai, Tokyo, Nagoya, Osaka, Bucharest, Taipei, Hong Kong, Beijing, Nanjing, Shanghai, and Chengdu. The New York branch was run by Yoo Byung-eun's son Keith H. Yoo.

Appreciation
Debauve & Gallais offer a wide range of dark chocolates whose cocoa percentage comes as high as 99%. Over time they have built a cult following among gourmands, aristocrats, artists, writers and celebrities. Anatole France, author of Le Petit Pierre, described the shop as "lovely".

The Thai Children's Trust, formerly Pattaya Orphanage Trust, is a registered charitable organization in the United Kingdom (No. 1085407) which supports vulnerable and disadvantaged children in Thailand. It helps fund projects for orphans, refugee children, HIV positive children and children with AIDS, homeless children, tsunami orphans and children and young people with disabilities. The Trust has recently helped support the Teacher Preparation Center, a training school for mobile teacher trainers, in Mae Sot. The TPC trains trainers who work in the Eastern states of Burma/Myanmar, trying to restore and improve educational standards in areas ravaged by years of civil war.  The Trust has also found some funding for villageONE, a project combining education and community development which hopes to start work in Mon State, Burma/Myanmar, later this year.

They are reportedly the largest UK charity focusing on Thailand. They send over £700,000 to Thailand's most vulnerable children, providing a safe and loving home, which includes daily necessities like food, shelter, medical care and education for over 1500 children.

History
The Pattaya Orphanage Trust was founded in 1982 by Baron Riccardo Carini. Originally, it supported the Pattaya Orphanage which was founded by Father Ray Brennan, an American Redemptorist priest, in 1972. Today, the Thai Children's Trust supports over thirty projects across Thailand. Since 2009, the Trust has been under the patronage of Vincent Nichols, the Archbishop of Westminster.

Operations
The charity focuses on disadvantaged and vulnerable children across Thailand. Projects it supports provide full care, including accommodation, education and medical care to over a thousand children. It also supports health, education and nutrition projects which help over 3000 children.

The charity supports a range of projects across Thailand run by its partner organisations, which include the Father Ray Foundation, Baan Tharn Namchai Orphanage, Sarnelli House Thailand, the Good Shepherd Sisters and the Pattaya Orphanage.

The Thai Children's Trust does not open projects of its own. It is their policy to always operate through local organisation. They believe that in this way, the donation could bring double benefit. They could build local expertise, train local managers and staff whilst still supporting the children who are the main focus.

The Trust concentrates its effort on four main areas: Children at Risk, Children with Disability, Children with HIV and Child Refugees. Under "Children at Risk", the projects to care for the children are further classified into children who are orphaned and abandoned, victims of the tsunami, street children and victims of child trafficking.

The trust has worked closely with the Catholic Church in Thailand to support projects managed or supported by Catholic religious orders, such as the Redemptorists, the Camillians and the Sisters of the Good Shepherd. The trust is also endorsed by Burmese Nobel Peace Prize winner Aung San Suu Kyi for their work with Burmese refugee children in camps on the Thai border. In a letter read out at Westminster Abbey on 4 October 2011, she says: "The fate of migrant and refugee children is of particular concern; in addition to the deprivations they suffer they are often not certain if there is any part of the world they can call their own… Any effort to make the lives of such children healthier, happier or more secure is a truly worthwhile project."  Some of the projects that the Thai Children's Trust supports on the Thai-Burma border are the Mae Tao Clinic, and the Room to Grow Foundation which provides meals for nearly 1000 refugee children on a daily basis.

The Trust chooses carefully which projects and organisations in Thailand to support. They stay closely involved with their partners, who operate on the ground and know precisely what the children need. By being involved, the trust can keep track of both the children's needs and the support that they would be able to offer. By having such a direct link to the children they care for, the Trust can see clearly where the money goes.

Activities
Sponsor a child

The Thai Children's Trust runs a program for donors around the world to contribute £18 a month to sponsor a child at one of the residential programs it supports. There is also an opportunity to sponsor meals for Burmese migrant children, more than half of whom are clinically malnourished.  The money collected from the sponsorship is meant for the lodging, education and food for the children. Some of the beneficiaries include Street children in Thailand who lead a life of poverty, living in slums or sleeping on the street, and are often exposed to dangers. The home provides a safe haven for the vulnerable children and a reliable way back into their life.

Besides through their own website, the Trust also uses other social media channels like Facebook and Twitter  to create public awareness.

Kongunadu Munnetra Kazhagam (KMK) is a caste based political party representing the Kongu Vellala Gounders, a backward caste in the Indian state of Tamil Nadu. The party's vote base is mainly concentrated in the Kongu Nadu region of Tamil Nadu.

Origins and platform
The party launched in the name of "Kongunadu Munnetra Peravai" but later its leaders adopted the already registered name of "Kongunadu Munnetra Kazhagam". It was launched in 2009 at Coimbatore by the Kongu Vellala Goundergal Peravai, a Gounder caste organisation. Although the party was launched by a Gounder organisation, the party's founder Best Ramasamy dismissed that the party was only for the cause of Kongu Velala Gounders and said that his party will work for the cause of the western Tamil Nadu. The party also claims that it will work for development of the Kongu region.

2009 Lok Sabha election
The party contested in 12 constituencies independently (without alliance) in 2009 lokshaba elections and polled around 6 lakhs (600,000) votes in the Kongu region. Although the party was not able to win any seat still it was considered as a good show by political observers as the party was started only 4 months before the elections. The party mainly contributed for the defeat of all Congress - Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam (DMK) alliance candidates in the Kongu region of Tamil Nadu. The party came third in many constituencies ahead of Vijayakanth's Desiya Murpokku Dravida Kazhagam.

2011 Assembly election
In the 2011 Tamil Nadu Assembly elections, KMK joined hands with DMK and contested 7 seats. It lost in all the 7 seats and in local body elections, the party allied with the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP).

Pinoy Bingo Night is the Philippine game show version of National Bingo Night, which premiered on the ABS-CBN from March 30 to June 26, 2009. It is hosted by Kris Aquino with Brod Pete as the "bingo caller" and Mel Feliciano as the "commissioner", who referees the playing studio audience.

Gameplay
Members of the studio audience attempt to win a game of bingo while competing against a solo studio contestant. Each episode consisted of two games without any distinction other than order (the original version has three games represented by red, white and blue bingo cards). Furthermore, the bingo cards used in this show don't have the "Free" space in the center. Originally, there were two groups each playing a game, but later the games involved one studio audience, each member holding two cards and the winners in the first game were replaced by new players.

Most solo studio contestants are celebrities, but has been normal people in several occasions. After 39 episodes, two celebrities play one game.

In each game, the solo contestant competes in a minigame that also serves to unveil the numbers being called for the game. He or she then tries to complete the minigame and outlast the audience before they could declare bingo. If they are successful, they win ₱1,000,000; if an audience member beats them to it, they walk away with nothing and the audience member wins ₱50,000. In case of a tie, the audience member still wins.

After 16 episodes, the game rules have been changed. From the 17th episode onwards, an episode only consists of one game. When only one audience member gets a bingo, the audience member is given the option to take over from the first solo contestant to become the second and finish the game to win a million. If the audience member decides to take the spot, he/she must risk half of the ₱50,000 and continue the game to win ₱1,000,000. The other audience members who are one ball away from winning (or puro, the local term used) are still playing for a bingo. If an audience member gets a bingo, he/she will get ₱50,000 while the second solo contestant that took over still gets ₱25,000. In case more than one audience member won over the first solo contestant(s), they would be given individual choices on whether to continue the solo contestant's game. If more than one of them decide to continue and eventually win the solo contestant's game, they would each have a share of the million-peso price; they would take home ₱25,000 each should they continue the game and lose. In case at least one audience member gains a bingo just as the solo player finishes the game (still applying the audience-member-wins rule), the winning audience member will not have to replay the last moments of the game anymore, and instead is automatically given ₱50,000.

Contestants could only use certain drawn balls to put towards their game, determined by correctly guessing whether the next number is either red or black, odd or even, depending on the rules given by host.

The minigames and their rules are as follows:
 Bingo 500: The contestant aims to have all their bingo balls drawn add up to 500. In order to be credited to the total, the contestant has to correctly guess that the next drawn ball is odd or even or its text is colored red or black depending on the rules given by the host.
 9 Ball: The contestant aims to eliminate the billiard balls 1 to 9. In order for this to happen, the contestant must guess if the next drawn ball is odd or even or its text is colored red or black depending on the rules given by the host. A correct guess would eliminate the billiard balls corresponding to the digits on the drawn ball.
 Money Bags: The contestant chooses one of three ten-digit bank account numbers. The player has to eliminate the digits of the account number in the same way as in 9-Ball (if a digit appears at least twice in the number, all instances of that digit is eliminated). In order for this to happen, the contestant must guess if the text on the next drawn ball is colored red or black or if it is odd or even depending on the rules given by the host.
 High 7: The contestant has to draw six balls bearing the number 7 (such as "B-7," "I-17," etc.).
 Around the Philippines: Twelve Philippine place names are listed. The player must eliminate each of the twelve by correctly guessing if the next drawn ball is odd or even or if the text is red or black depending on the rules given by the host.
 Bingo Crossword: Two of the word bingo, intersected at letter I, crossword-style, is shown. The contestant must guess if the text of the next ball drawn is colored red or black. A correct guess would highlight a letter corresponding to the one on the drawn ball. In order to win, the player must have the word "BINGO" highlighted both vertically and horizontally on the puzzle.

During the duration of the program's run, there have been eleven millionaires and one millionaire team.

Homeviewer game
Home viewers could collect pre-printed game cards by exchanging proofs-of-purchase of the show's sponsors or purchase items totaling a certain amount, depending on the sponsor. 20 numbers are drawn and nine of those numbers should appear in an X-pattern on the card for it to be declared a winning card. Winning cards could be redeemed for a single ₱150,000 daily cash prize and a ₱50,000 bonus cash prize. Holders of the cards must register the cards' serial numbers through SMS in order for the cards to be qualified for the additional bonus cash prize. An additional ₱50,000 is added to the bonus cash prize for every day it is not won by a registered bingo card holder. Also, in case there is more than one winner, regardless of whether or not they were registered, they would have to share the daily cash prize. Only one registered card holder could win the bonus prize, and if there is more than registered winning card holder, the prize is raffled off. Also, cards are playable for one week (five episodes), but the set of drawn balls for the cards is different for each day of the week. The balls drawn for this game are different from those used in the studio games.

A second homeviewers' game is also launched viewers note and send via SMS the last ball of each of the two games in the episode. The cash prize the winner receives depends on who won on the two games. If one solo player wins a million, the homeviewer winner gets ₱100,000. If both solo players win a million each, the homeviewer would win ₱200,000. If both solo players are beaten by at least a studio contestant each, the winning viewer would receive ₱10,000. The rules were slightly modified since the rule change to one game per episode, wherein the last ball drawn should be noted.

Pride and Prejudice and Zombies is a 2009 parody novel by Seth Grahame-Smith. It is a mashup combining Jane Austen's classic 1813 novel Pride and Prejudice with elements of modern zombie fiction, crediting Austen as co-author. It was first published in April 2009 by Quirk Books and in October 2009 a Deluxe Edition was released, containing full-color images and additional zombie scenes. The novel was adapted into a 2016 film starring Lily James and Sam Riley.

Background

Quirk Books editor Jason Rekulak developed the idea for Pride and Prejudice and Zombies after comparing a list of "popular fanboy characters like ninjas, pirates, zombies, and monkeys" with a list of public domain book titles such as War and Peace, Crime and Punishment, and Wuthering Heights. He turned the project over to writer Seth Grahame-Smith.

Grahame-Smith began with the original text of Austen's novel, adding zombie and ninja elements while developing an overall plot line for the new material; "you kill somebody off in Chapter 7, it has repercussions in Chapter 56". According to the author, the original text of the novel was well-suited for use as a zombie horror story:

In early 2009, awareness of the forthcoming novel rose due to attention from Internet bloggers, newspaper articles, National Public Radio, and podcasts. In response, the publisher increased the initial print run from 12,000 to 60,000 copies, and moved the publication date to April 1.

Plot

In early 19th-century England, a zombie plague has spread across the country. Mrs. Bennet endeavours to obtain for her daughters wealthy and high-status husbands. Seeing an opportunity to achieve her goal, Mrs. Bennet sends her daughters to a local ball. At the ball, Mr. Bingley and the eldest Bennet daughter, Jane, make a connection in the midst of a chaotic zombie attack. During this time, Elizabeth meets Fitzwilliam Darcy, Mr. Bingley's closest friend. When zombies attack, the Bennet sisters use their martial arts skills to keep the human attendees safe.

Soon after, Jane is invited to visit Netherfield. Mrs. Bennet insists she travel on horseback rather than in a carriage. While traveling, Jane is attacked by zombies and injured. Elizabeth receives a letter informing the family that Jane will stay at Netherfield to recuperate, and insists on joining her sister. During their stay, Elizabeth interacts with Mr. Bingley, his family, and Mr. Darcy often. Once Jane is fully recovered, Mr. Bingley is persuaded by Mrs. Bennet to throw a ball.

Jane and Elizabeth return home. The odious heir to Longbourn, Mr. Bennet's cousin Mr. Collins, arrives with the intention of marrying one of the Bennet daughters and settles his attentions on Elizabeth. When the local militia arrives in town to exhume and destroy dead bodies, the Bennet sisters also meet the charming George Wickham, whom Mr. Darcy and Mr. Bingley seem to avoid. Wickham explains to Elizabeth that he grew up with Mr. Darcy, but they had a falling out after Wickham was denied the living he had been promised by Mr. Darcy's late father, justifying Elizabeth's negative opinion of Mr. Darcy. She looks forward to meeting Wickham again at the Netherfield ball, but later learns he was not invited. Mr. Darcy asks Elizabeth to dance. The ball is interrupted by a zombie attack, which is thwarted by Mr. Darcy.

The next day, Mr. Collins asks Elizabeth to marry him. She refuses, angering her mother. Mr. Collins instead proposes to Charlotte Lucas, Elizabeth's best friend and a spinster, who accepts. She has been secretly infected with the 'mysterious plague' and hopes Mr. Collins will be too oblivious to notice her slowly becoming a zombie. Jane receives a letter from Caroline Bingley, informing her that Mr. Bingley and his party are en route to London with no plans to return soon. The letter also convinces Jane that Mr. Bingley wants to marry Darcy's younger sister.

Elizabeth's dislike for Darcy intensifies when she learns that he purposefully plotted to separate Bingley from her sister, Jane. Elizabeth vows to avenge the separation by killing Darcy, and she is afforded that opportunity when he appears unannounced at a cottage where she is visiting her newlywed friend Charlotte. Darcy surprises her by proposing marriage, and they break into a verbal and physical fight in which Darcy is wounded. He escapes and writes a long letter to Elizabeth explaining his actions: that he separated Jane and Bingley out of fear that Jane had contracted the "mysterious plague", and that Wickham had lied about not receiving his inheritance. Elizabeth realizes that she has judged Darcy too harshly whilst Darcy realizes that his demeanour encourages people to believe the rumours about him and both resolve to correct their personal short-comings.

Elizabeth embarks on a trip around the country with her aunt and uncle, fighting zombies along the way. At Pemberley she encounters Darcy, who repels a horde of zombies. Darcy's changed attitude and manners impress Elizabeth and lead her to consider reconciling their relationship. The Bennets spend time with Darcy, his sister, and Mr. Bingley, who still has feelings for Jane. The visit ends abruptly when Elizabeth learns Lydia has run away with Wickham and she returns home to support her family.

A letter is delivered to Longbourn, stating that Lydia and Wickham are now married, Wickham's numerous debts have been settled, and he is now crippled. Elizabeth eventually discovers that it was Darcy who engineered the union and paid Wickham's debts as well as Lydia's dowry, thus saving the Bennet family from scandal and financial ruin.

Darcy and Bingley return to the countryside, and Bingley resumes courting Jane. Elizabeth hopes to renew her relationship with Darcy, but his aunt, the Lady Catherine, interferes and insists that her daughter Anne is a better match for her nephew. Lady Catherine challenges Elizabeth to a duel, committed to eliminating the competition, but Elizabeth defeats her. Elizabeth spares Catherine's life. Darcy is touched by this gesture and returns to Elizabeth. They marry and begin a long and happy future together, insofar as the ever-present threat of zombie apocalypse permits.

Reception
Entertainment Weekly reviewed Pride and Prejudice and Zombies favorably, giving it a grade of A−. Library Journal recommended the novel "...for all popular fiction collections". The A.V. Club gave the novel a grade of A, commenting that "(w)hat begins as a gimmick ends with renewed appreciation of the indomitable appeal of Austen's language, characters, and situations ..." The New Yorker'''s Macy Halford called the book's estimated blend of eighty-five percent Austen's words and fifteen percent Grahame-Smith's "one hundred per cent terrible"; while she admitted that the mashup may have accurately identified a subtextual theme of "mystery and menace" in the original novel, she still found Grahame-Smith's writing awful, singling out a passage in which Elizabeth Bennet prepares to kill Mr. Darcy over an overheard slight.

As of April 19, 2009, Pride and Prejudice and Zombies was number three on the New York Times bestseller list. On the same morning, the book moved from the 300s to 27th place on amazon.co.uk's bestseller list. Before the book was published in the United Kingdom, it required a second printing.

Adaptations

Comics
In May 2010, Pride and Prejudice and Zombies: The Graphic Novel was published by Del Rey / Random House, with acclaimed comic writer Tony Lee adapting the text and art by Cliff Richards.

In October 2011, an interactive ebook version produced by PadWorx Digital Media Inc. was released.

Game
In June 2010, an app based on Pride and Prejudice and Zombies was released for the iPod Touch and iPhone. Digital development specialist Freeverse is behind the app, and describes the title as "a rollicking action title with the perfect blend of zombie slaying action and touching romance narrative".

Film

A film adaptation has been in conversation since February 2009, when The Sunday Times reported that Hollywood was bidding to turn Pride and Prejudice and Zombies into a blockbuster film. At a book-signing held at California State University Fullerton on April 23, 2009, Grahame-Smith said the novel had officially been purchased by an undisclosed major film company to be produced as a feature film.

Lionsgate originally planned to finance and distribute the film, with Natalie Portman playing the lead role, but she later reconsidered and decided to serve as a producer instead. In addition, David O. Russell would have directed; however, he left production due to scheduling conflicts. Mike White was hired to direct the adaptation, but he also left the project in January 2011 due to scheduling conflicts. Craig Gillespie finalized a contract to direct the film on April 18, 2011, but left the project in October.

On May 2, 2013, Lily James confirmed that the film was still in the works and announced that she would star in the film as a leading role. The project was also set to feature extensive involvement from Burr Steers.  On August 4, 2014, it was announced that filming would begin in September, with Lily James as Elizabeth, Sam Riley as Mr. Darcy, and Bella Heathcote as one of Elizabeth's sisters. Jack Huston joined the cast as Mr. Wickham. Douglas Booth joined the cast as Mr. Bingley. Matt Smith joined the cast as Mr. Collins, with shooting scheduled to begin on September 24. On September 23, 2014, it was announced that Game of Thrones Charles Dance and Lena Headey had joined the cast, and that Screen Gems purchased the rights to release it in the United States.Pride and Prejudice and Zombies was released on February 5, 2016 to mixed critical reviews and commercial failure, grossing $16.4 million worldwide from a $28 million budget.

Book series

Prequel

On October 30, 2009, Quirk Books announced that the third book in its Quirk Classics series would be a prequel, Pride and Prejudice and Zombies: Dawn of the Dreadfuls. The prequel was published on March 30, 2010.  It explored how Elizabeth Bennet became such a seasoned zombie hunter and dealt with her early martial arts training and her unfortunate early romantic experiences before the events of the first novel. Seth Grahame-Smith did not write the prequel because he was engaged in writing Abraham Lincoln, Vampire Hunter; instead, Steve Hockensmith authored the work.

Sequel
Steve Hockensmith also wrote a sequel in the series titled Pride and Prejudice and Zombies: Dreadfully Ever After, which was released on March 22, 2011.

Cultural influence

The success of Pride and Prejudice and Zombies has led to several other mash-ups pairing classical works or historical figures with modern horror themes such as Sense and Sensibility and Sea Monsters, and Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter.

In 2016, Hot Topic released a clothing collection inspired by the Regency-era fashion and "inner zombie slayer" style of the book.

Reception

Sify.com wrote that "With a script that is full of flaws, the film is like a never ending journey. Fazil should call it day and retire gracefully, than making such stupid films. Our advice- Pick some of the old gems (DVD) of the director like Nokketha Doorathu Kannum Nattu, Ente Mamattikuttiyammaykku, Manivathoorile Ayiram Sivarathrikal or Aniyathi Pravu and re-live those fine memories . You will find it much more enjoyable than getting a migraine watching this film!" Paresh C Palicha from Rediff.com wrote" All seen and suffered; Fazil's Moz & Cat may just turn out to be the biggest disappointment of this festive season"
 Unni R Nair from Indian Express wrote "sadly enough, it turns out to be a damp squib. Dileep is his usual self as Moz, while Baby Nivedhitha is good as Tessy. Debutante Ashwathy is also good as Nandana. The rest of the cast are all strictly okay. Music, technical aspects etc jell with the theme and the mood, but it's the confusion about the overall mood that's to be mentioned. It's rather confusing and hence whatever is good about Moz And Cat is lost in this maze"

Eli's Cheesecake is a cheesecake company based in Chicago. Eli's Original Plain Cheesecake, which has been called "Chicago's most famous dessert", is made of cream cheese, sour cream, eggs, sugar, and vanilla in a butter shortbread cookie crust. Since the introduction of Eli's Original Plain Cheesecake, the company now offers cheesecakes with various ingredients such as chocolate, fruit, or caramel, as well as other desserts like tarts, cakes, and tiramisu.

History
Eli Schulman was born in 1910 on the West Side of Chicago. In 1940, he started his first venture in the restaurant business with a popular coffee shop called Eli's Ogden Huddle. He followed Eli's Odgen Huddle with Eli's Stage Delicatessen, where several notable performers dined.

Eli's The Place For Steak
In 1966, Eli's The Place for Steak was opened and the celebrities followed. Celebrities such as Frank Sinatra, Sammy Davis Jr., Gale Sayers, and Henny Youngman all spent time dining at Eli's The Place for Steak. During the late 1970s, Eli Schulman developed the original plain cheesecake as the signature dessert for Eli's The Place for Steak. The cheesecake represented the restaurant at the first Taste of Chicago in 1980, and it eventually became the festival's most popular dessert, with about 2 million slices sold as of 2005.
After being open for 39 years, Eli's The Place for Steak closed in 2005.

Eli's Cheesecake Company
Eli's Cheesecake Company became its own company soon after the first Taste of Chicago in 1980 with a small North Side plant. In 1996, Eli's Cheesecake Company moved to its current location in Chicago's Dunning neighborhood. The new location, called Eli's Cheesecake World, includes a  state-of-the-art antique bakery, bakery cafe, and corporate offices. Eli's Cheesecake products get shipped to customers all over the U.S. and to stores internationally. Eli's is also available via a cooperation with Lou Malnati's through Lou Malnati's Tastes of Chicago, which provides Chicago-style cuisine nationally.

Eli Schulman's son, Marc Schulman, became president of Eli's Cheesecake in 1984 and has been running the company since his father's death on May 8, 1988. Later in 1988, a playground across from the street from Eli's the Place for Steak was dedicated in Eli's memory and named the "Eli M. Schulman Playground".

In November 2015, The Eli's Cheesecake Company launched their first cookbook, The Eli's Cheesecake Cookbook: Remarkable Recipes from a Chicago Legend. The cookbook pays homage to founder Eli M. Schulman and includes 40 different recipes, including Eli's Cheesecake's classic cheesecakes such as Original Plain, Chocolate Chip, and Banana Chocolate, plus recipes from Eli's famous Chicago steakhouse, like Shrimp deJonghe. Aside from the recipes, the cookbook gives anecdotes from president Marc Schulman, wife Maureen Schulman, and a commentary from Chicago radio personality, Rick Kogan. A second edition of the Eli's Cheesecake Cookbook was published in 2021 with additional recipes and stories, including international family recipes submitted by Eli's employees.

Accomplishments

Eli's has made cheesecakes for four American presidential inaugurations. In both 1993 and 1997, it made 2,000 pound cheesecakes for Bill Clinton's inauguration ceremonies. In January 2009, Eli's produced a 500-pound cheesecake for Barack Obama's inaugural ball, and in January 2013, the company made a 500-pound cheesecake for Obama's Inaugural Staff Ball.

Eli's Cheesecake made a 2,000-pound cheesecake to commemorate the Burnham Plan Centennial on June 27, 2009, as well as the twenty-ninth anniversary of the Taste of Chicago and Eli's Cheesecake. Eli's has also made cheesecakes over the years for events such as Hillary Clinton's 50th birthday, Disney World's 25th birthday, Abraham Lincoln's Birthday Bicentennial Banquet (which President Barack Obama attended), Chicago's 150th birthday and Illinois' Governor Pat Quinn's inauguration in 2011. In 2015, Eli's made a cake for the James Beard Awards Welcome Reception in Chicago. Eli's Cheesecake continues to be favorite at the Taste of Chicago.

Eli's has also been featured on some popular television shows, such as The Tonight Show with Jay Leno and The Oprah Winfrey Show. In May 2012, Eli's Cheesecake was featured on ABC World News with Diane Sawyer in a special called "Made in America".

Eli's broke ground on a 42,000 sq. ft. bakery expansion in July 2022.

Mama and Daddy is an album by Muhal Richard Abrams that was released on the Italian Black Saint label in 1980 and features performances of four of Abrams' compositions by a big band.

Reception
The Allmusic review calls the album "a first-rate big band/large group session from 1980, with Muhal Richard Abrams' compositions being played by a masterful ensemble... adventurous, disciplined, frequently exciting music". The Penguin Guide to Jazz awarded the album 3 stars, stating: "These albums seem even more compelling now than they did when they first came out, because it is clear where the leader's ideas are going". The Rolling Stone Jazz Record Guide said "His finest achievement in any format may be Mama and Daddy; this ambitious set of compositions for a ten piece group, with its masterful blends of brass, strings, and percussion, has a balance in its glowing execution and suggests black chamber music".

Omega hydroxy acids (ω-hydroxy acids) are a class of naturally occurring straight-chain aliphatic organic acids n carbon atoms long with a carboxyl group at position 1 (the starting point for the family of carboxylic acids), and a hydroxyl at terminal position n where n > 3. They are a subclass of hydroxycarboxylic acids. The C16 and C18 omega hydroxy acids 16-hydroxy palmitic acid and 18-hydroxy stearic acid are key monomers of cutin in the plant cuticle. The polymer cutin is formed by interesterification of omega hydroxy acids and derivatives of them that are substituted in mid-chain, such as 10,16-dihydroxy palmitic acid. Only the epidermal cells of plants synthesize cutin.

Omega hydroxy fatty acids also occur in animals. Cytochrome P450 (CYP450) microsome ω-hydroxylases such as CYP4A11, CYP4A22, CYP4F2, and CYP4F3 in humans, Cyp4a10 and Cyp4a12 in mice, and Cyp4a1, Cyp4a2, Cyp4a3, and Cyp4a8 in rats metabolize arachidonic acid and many arachidonic acid metabolites to their corresponding omega hydroxyl products. This metabolism of arachidonic acid produces 20-hydroxyarachidonic acid (i.e. 20-hydroxyeicosatetraeonic acid or 20-HETE), a bioactive product involved in various physiological and pathological processes; and this metabolism of certain bioactive arachidonic acid metabolites such as leukotriene B4 and 5-hydroxyicosatetraenoic acid produces 20-hydroxylated products which are 100- to 1,000-fold weaker than, and therefore represents the inactivation of, their respective precursors.

List
The definition for "omega" includes number of carbons (C#) greater or equal to three. Lower numbers are included here to match the formula pattern CnH2nO3.

Rafael Iriondo Aurtenetxea (24 October 1918 – 24 February 2016) was a Spanish football forward and manager.

He amassed La Liga totals of 285 matches and 89 goals over 15 seasons, with Athletic Bilbao and Real Sociedad. He subsequently became a manager, working for nearly 30 years and being in charge of both clubs.

Club career
Born in Guernica, Biscay, Iriondo arrived at Basque giants Athletic Bilbao in 1940, from Atlético Tetuán. He made his La Liga debut on 29 September in a 2–2 draw at Valencia CF and, during his 13-year spell with the club, would form an historic attacking partnership with Agustín Gaínza, José Luis Panizo and Telmo Zarra, helping Athletic to the 1942–43 league and four Copa del Generalísimo trophies.

After 328 official games for Athletic with 115 goals, Iriondo moved to another team in the region, Barakaldo CF, in 1953. After a couple of months, however, he returned to the top division and joined Real Sociedad, retiring shortly after the end of the 1954–55 season.

Iriondo started coaching immediately after retiring, with modest SD Indautxu in the Segunda División. He continued in his native region the following years, with Deportivo Alavés and Barakaldo.

In the 1968–69 campaign, Iriondo returned to Athletic Bilbao as head coach, helping the club to the 11th place in the league and the domestic cup. He would also manage the team for two full seasons in the mid-1970s, interspersed with stints at RCD Español, Real Zaragoza and Real Sociedad.

Iriondo's last coaching job was with Real Betis: he led the Andalusians to the 1977 Spanish Cup, but suffered top-flight relegation the following season. After 15 matches at Rayo Vallecano in 1980 (meeting the same fate) he returned to Betis for one final campaign in 1981–82, being one of three managers to help the team finish sixth in the top tier and qualify for the UEFA Cup for the first time ever; he died in Bilbao on 24 February 2016, aged 97.

International career
Iriondo earned two caps for Spain in as many friendlies, his debut coming on 23 June 1946 in a 0–1 loss to the Republic of Ireland in Madrid. This was the first national team game attended by general Francisco Franco.

Seven months later, in Lisbon, he scored against Portugal who won 4–1.

An outbreak of the Escherichia coli O157 bacterium occurred in South Wales in 2005.  It was the largest outbreak of E. coli O157 in Wales and the second largest in the UK. 157 cases were identified in the outbreak; 31 people were hospitalized, and there was a single fatality. Most of the 157 cases identified were children, attending 44 different schools across four different local authorities – Bridgend, Merthyr Tydfil, Caerphily and Rhondda Cynon Taf. Of those infected, 109 cases were identified as a strain of E. coli O157 unique to this outbreak.

The first cases were identified on 16 September 2005, after 5 children had been admitted to a hospital in Merthyr Tydfil. The earliest sign of illness had been 10 September. Most cases had originated before the end of September, though the last case of the outbreak was identified on 8 November 2005.

For many of those affected, the illness progressed with a typical process of vomiting and bloody diarrhoea, sometimes leading to kidney failure. Afterwards, some of those affected spoke of long-lasting physical and psychological effects.

The cause was a vacuum packing machine used to package both raw meat and cooked meat without being properly cleaned between batches, resulting in cross-contamination.

Fatality

A consequence of the E. coli outbreak was the death of a five-year-old named Mason Jones from Deri, Caerphilly.  He had attended his local primary school and contracted the disease via a meal served at the school. He was sent home from school on Wednesday 21 September feeling ill, shortly after his elder brother had recovered from the same illness. His condition gradually worsened over the next few days. The out-of-hours health service did not react immediately to his worsening condition, but he was admitted to hospital on Sunday 25 September, where he was diagnosed with kidney failure and transferred to a specialist unit in Bristol on Monday 26 September. Despite intensive care, Mason died on Tuesday 4 October.

Since his death, his mother, Sharon Mills, has campaigned to help raise awareness of the dangers of E. coli O157. In a statement to the press, she said "I just want people to know how bad this bacterium is, and how powerless I felt standing by the side of him watching him die from it".

A memorial garden was established in at his primary school in Deri.

Source of the outbreak

The source of the outbreak was traced to meat supplied by a butcher at Bridgend – John Tudor & Son, the proprietor of which was William Tudor. The infected meat had originated at the abattoir of William Tudor's cousin, JE. Tudor & Sons ltd. Despite several warnings by food hygiene inspectors, William Tudor continued to be awarded contracts to supply meat to local schools for school meals. He had falsified records that were an important part of food safety practice and had lied to environmental health officers. In the Public Inquiry Report, Professor Hugh Pennington said "the blame for the outbreak rests squarely on the shoulders of William Tudor".

Despite the death of Mason Jones, the Crown Prosecution Service decided against seeking a conviction for manslaughter, and William Tudor was eventually convicted after pleading guilty to 7 food hygiene offences and was sentenced to one year in prison. He was released after serving 12 weeks of that sentence.

Public Inquiry

The Public Inquiry into the outbreak was led by Professor Hugh Pennington, who had also presided over the Inquiry into the Lanarkshire outbreak in 1996. The report was published on 19 March 2009.

The Public Inquiry included more than 45,000 pages of evidence, 258 statements from 191 witnesses, and 63 witnesses were called to the hearing. It cost £2.3 million. William Tudor did not cooperate with the inquiry, though was not compelled to do so.

The report made 24 recommendations, 15 relating to food hygiene inspections; some of these were aimed at strengthening key HACCP (Hazard Analysis Critical Control Points) principles and for the Food Standards Agency to review its guidance. It also recommended a substantial review of food hygiene by local authorities in five years (thus 2014).

The report contained criticisms of several local administrations and food hygiene inspection procedures. Bridgend County Borough Council was ultimately responsible for the inspection of John Tudor & Son. Criticism was also levelled at Rhondda Cynon Taf, Bridgend, Caerphilly and Merthyr Tydfil County Borough Councils who had awarded the schools contracts to John Tudor & Sons, calling the process by which the contracts were awarded as "seriously flawed". Criticism was also levelled at the Meat Hygiene Service which had failed to enforce Meat Hygiene Regulations at the JE Tudor & Sons abattoir.

There was also criticism of the communication procedures of the out-of-hours healthcare service.

The Outbreak Control Team was praised for controlling the outbreak, identifying the source and removing cooked meats from the food chain.

At the press conference at the publication of the Inquiry Report:

Dennis James Singer (30 August 1937 – 21 July 2010) was a Welsh professional footballer who scored 62 goals in 139 appearances in the Football League playing for Newport County, Birmingham City and Bournemouth & Boscombe Athletic. He played as an inside forward.

Singer was born in Cefn Hengoed, Glamorgan. As a boy he played for Wesley Rovers Boys' Club, which fed Fleur-de-Lys Welfare, and from there he joined Newport County as an amateur in 1954. He turned professional in 1956, and went on to score 27 goals for the club at a rate better than a goal every two games, goal-poaching which earned him a move to First Division club Birmingham City. Singer spent two seasons with Birmingham, but played only 31 games in all competitions despite scoring as freely as at Newport. He played on the losing side in the 1961 Inter-Cities Fairs Cup Final against Roma. In September 1962, Singer signed for Bournemouth & Boscombe Athletic for a fee of £7,000; he scored 22 goals in 59 league games before returning to Newport County in the 1964 close season.

After his retirement from football, Singer kept a restaurant in Caerleon. He died in July 2010.
