# Possibly Maybe

"**Possibly Maybe**" is a song by Björk, released as the fifth single from her second album *Post* (1995). It is a song with deep electronic tones and soft beats that reflects on potential love. Released in the United Kingdom as the fifth single from the album, it reached number 13 on the UK Singles Chart in November 1996.

There were three different single releases. This was the first Björk single to be released in three parts; two of these three parts are rarities in the music world in that their A-side is not the first track. The first CD came with a slipcase that could also house the other two. The song has been covered by numerous other artists.

## Background

The song details different stages of a breakup. Björk has said it was "the first unhappy song I wrote… I felt ashamed writing a song that was not giving hope". The melancholic piece was dedicated to her broken relationship with Stéphane Sednaoui, who, curiously, also directed the video. Rumours have persisted that Björk recorded the song in the nude, although this has not been publicly commented on. Björk was sued by British electronic musician Scanner for the uncleared sample of telephones ringing (from his album *Mass Observation*) at the start of the track. The situation caused her record label, One Little Indian, to retire all current copies of *Post* in the shops, and release a new version of the album that included a version of "Possibly Maybe" without the sample. Later on, when the issue was solved, the single version of the song included the sample again, as it appears in the music video.

The B-side of single was "Vísur Vatnsenda-Rósu", taken from the 1994 album *Chansons des mers froides* by Hector Zazou. A short making-of was recorded as part of the album.

## Critical reception

British magazine *Music Week* rated the song four out of five, adding that "this gorgeous ballad from *Post* is released with some diverse, and weird, mixes as a taster for the upcoming mixes album *Telegram*."

## Music video

The accompanying music video for "Possibly Maybe" was directed by French artist Stéphane Sednaoui, for a song that is about his failed relationship with Björk. The singer and the director had previously worked together in the music video for "Big Time Sensuality". In the clip, she appears "as a goddess, floating out from a numinous light-streaked background." It shows Björk in a variety of different rooms in an apartment. She is primarily shown in a large, stylish bedroom with modern décor. These scenes are intercut with shots in ultra-violet lighting (which subsequently causes everything to appear in day-glo colours). She is also shown in three other rooms: submerged in the bathtub of a bathroom; an Asian-themed room; and a room full of stereo equipment. These scenes are intercut with an angelic image of her dressed all in white, floating out of a blue sky with the sun behind her. The majority of objects appearing in the video were Björk's own.

Sednaoui is known for having a particularly filmic technique for each of his clips; in "Possibly Maybe", the use of blacklighting "makes Björk glow sensuously and perversely". It was conceived in a theatrical way: nearly all of the scenes were filmed in the same space, which is transformed with changes in the *mise en scène*. The style of "Possibly Maybe"'s scenery and Björk's wardrobe reference East Asian imagery, and a Japanese traditional doll is featured as Björk's only accompaniment; as a silent witness, it is the object on which the protagonist casts reflections on her own identity.

Short interviews with both Stéphane and Björk discussing the video are included on the Stéphane Sednaoui *Directors Label* DVD. The music video was included along with all of *Post*'s music videos on the 1998 video release *Volumen*, and its 2002 reissue *Volumen Plus*. They also appear on *Greatest Hits – Volumen 1993–2003*, a release that includes the videos featured on *Volumen* and *Volumen Plus*.

## Live performances

The track was performed during the Post tour, a performance of which can be found on the 1998 live DVD/VHS *Live at Shepherds Bush Empire*, a fan-club only concert held at the end of the tour. To support the release of *Post*, the song was performed on the UK TV show Later... with Jools Holland on 17 June 1995 with pedal steel guitarist BJ Cole. This performance was featured on Björk's 2003 DVD release *Later*. Björk also performed the track on TFI Friday on 1 November 1996 to promote the official single release. The track was also included on a 1996 ChildLine charity album release, whose cover-art featured a parody of the *Post* cover. In support of this album, Björk performed the song on Top of the Pops. Björk's then manager Netty Walker noted later that it "was the worst performance I've ever seen her do." A live performance recorded for US TV show *Reverb* in 2001 included a performance of "Possibly Maybe". The track has been performed on Björk's subsequent tours, the Homogenic tour and the Vespertine world tour, the latter version of which appears on the 2002 DVD release *Live at Royal Opera House*. After 2001, the song was not performed live until 2 March 2012 at the Roseland Ballroom in New York City during her Biophilia tour, using only a hang drum and a Tesla coil.

## Track listings

The release features remixes by Talvin Singh, Mark Bell from LFO, Dallas Austin, Trevor Morais (who was the drummer on the Post tour), Photek and Plaid. The single was planned to coincide with Björk's tour dates in South America and South Africa in October 1996, although the South American concerts were cancelled only two shows in due to Björk suffering from laryngitis. Two live tracks ("Possibly Maybe" and "Hyperballad") recorded at Wembley Arena as part of a *Top of the Pops* show are included on CD3.

## Covers

The track was covered by Final Fantasy and Ed Droste for music website Stereogum's 2008 online tribute to *Post*. As Droste has stated, "Björk is probably my most listened to and adored artist thus far in my life".

Michael Armstrong interpreted the song as an instrumental lullaby for the *Rockabye Baby! Lullaby Renditions of Björk* tribute album. London Resonance Quartet created another instrumental cover for tribute album *Violently*. Italian singer Serena Fortebraccio recorded a version for the album *In A Shape Of A Girl … Playing On Björk's Heartbeat*.

The artists, who released "Possibly Maybe" covers on their own releases include prog-rock band The Roots of Orchis, Polish jazz singer Monika Borzym, hip-hop artist Mumbls, jazz-funk bands Spirit Tuck and The Poma-Swank and the acts such as Wino Willy, Sallow, LumpyPork and others.

## Samples

A sample of this song was used in the bumpers for VH1's 'Insomniac Music Theater' late night music video block from the song's release until the program was cancelled in 2005 and renamed 'Nocturnal State'. DJ Shadow sampled this song for the track "Mutual Slump" from his debut album *Endtroducing.....*.

# Shadow of a Woman

***Shadow of a Woman*** is a 1946 American drama film noir directed by Joseph Santley and starring Helmut Dantine, Andrea King and William Prince. The film is based on the novel *He Fell Down Dead* written by Virginia Perdue.

## Plot

A woman (Andrea King) on the verge of a breakdown marries a fraudulent medical doctor (Helmut Dantine) she hardly knows, putting her in the path of fear and danger. She suspects her husband is starving his young son from a previous marriage.

## Cast

## Reception

Film critic Dennis Schwartz panned the film, writing, "A failure in every possible way. Joseph Santley flatly directs this film noir adapted from Virginia Perdue's novel *He Fell Down Dead.* The script by writers C. Graham Baker and Whitman Chambers was lacking credibility. The acting was hammy and unconvincing. The film offered hardly any entertainment value and the irrelevant story was more of a turn off than anything else. On top of all that, there were serious gaffes in the plotline that filled the story with holes the size of craters. This postwar B-film melodrama reunites *Hotel Berlin* co-stars Helmut Dantine and Andrea King. *Shadow of a Woman* might be remembered by film buffs only because it played in an early restaurant scene "How Little We Know", the Hoagy Carmichael song that Lauren Bacall sang in *To Have and Have Not.*"

*TV Guide* wrote about the screenplay, writing, "A slightly unrealistic story line hinders this drama that deals with a bride's terror."

### Box office

According to Warner Bros figures the film earned $490,000 domestically and $242,000 foreign.

# European Association of Political Consultants

The **European Association of Political Consultants** (**EAPC**) is the professional association of political consultants in Europe, with members from over 20 countries. Although the foundation of The EAPC was started in 1996 in Vienna, the association's current organization was formally established in Leibnitz in 2002. The EAPC is a platform for exchanging ideas between political consultants and is committed to supporting the development of democratic structures in Europe.

The current president is Gülfem Saydan Sanver from Turkey. Vice-presidents are Reza Kazemi from Germany, Torbjörn Sjöström from Sweden and Ana Fernandes from Portugal.

Past presidents include Igor Mintusov, Marko Rakar, Jan Juul Christensen, Gerlinde Manz-Christ of Liechtenstein, Necati Özkan, Christoph Hofinger, Volker Riegger, Mario Ballerini, Andrey Bulychev, Mehmet Ural and Bo Krogvig.

## Activities

The EAPC co-organises annual conferences, the *EAPC Master Class* and the annual *Polaris Awards* for excellence in the field of political consulting under a number of categories. Entries are accepted from across Europe and prizes in the international categories have been awarded to outfits across the world.

Whilst it takes no commercial position, the EAPC seeks to engender best practice amongst political consultants, particularly when it comes to ethical issues.

Concern about the potential for 'video photoshop' to mislead voters was expressed in the EAPC's London conference in March 2018.

In May 2018, the EAPC commented publicly on the activities of Cambridge Analytica following the firm's use of honeytraps to exert influence on candidates and the wider voting public. The association said in a statement, “Campaign consultants SCL/Cambridge Analytica appear to have crossed the line in terms of professional and ethical responsibilities. There are clearly concerns that have been raised about using “honey-traps” and actions that may have exerted inappropriate influence on both candidates and the voting public. We strongly encourage all members to be fully open and transparent, and to challenge client requests for work that may be less than fair and honest or against the interests of democracy.”

# Scott Guggenheim

**Scott Guggenheim** is an American expert in international development and senior advisor to Afghan president Ashraf Ghani. He was formerly lead social scientist for East Asia and Pacific at the World Bank. He is also the senior social policy adviser for the AusAID-Indonesia Partnership Program.

## History

He was born in New York in 1955.

He began his career working for the government of Mexico in their Museum of Anthropology and later received a Ph.D. in Social Anthropology from Johns Hopkins University. While studying for his doctorate, he began working at the World Bank, where he focused on the negative impacts of large investment projects. He also worked in Colombia for a few years. After completed his PhD, he worked in Somalia on behalf of the World Bank to conduct an environmental assessment for their project of building a dam. He played a central role on the World Bank Environment Department's 1993-1994 "Resettlement Review Task Force," which for the first time documented and public disclosed how many families were officially expected to be "involuntarily resettled" by projects across the institution.

In 1994 he moved to Indonesia and began working in the social capital-working group of the World Bank. He added Indonesia to a three-country study; consisting of Indonesia, Burkina Faso, and Bolivia; which looked at social capital and development. In 1998 Guggenheim founded the Kecamatan Development Program, a $1.3 billion community development program covering 34,000 villages across Indonesia. Other projects include the National Emergency Solidarity and Employment project in Afghanistan, which was the first community development and emergency public works program in the country and the Empowerment of Female-Headed Household (PEKKA) program which supports advocacy and micro-finance for poor widows in conflict areas across Indonesia.

### Afghan government role

He is senior advisor to former Afghan President Ashraf Ghani. The two men have been good friends since they met in New York in 1981. Guggenheim has been described as "Ghani's brain". During a protest in Kabul on June 2, 2017, posters appeared with his face and text in Dari that read *Ghani ba ehsara-e en shakhs meraqsad*, “Ghani dances on the order of this man.” It is said that "his imprimatur is on many major government policies that have come out of the Gul Khanna."

## Personal life

He is married to Indonesian human rights activist Kamala Chandrakirana. He is fluent in Spanish and Indonesian.

Qué vida más triste achieved more than two million visits to its website at the start of the year 2008. This web also counted on several collaborations, such as Alejandro Tejería's. In October 2008 the format was adapted for a television series, broadcast by laSexta.

# Qué vida más triste

**Qué vida más triste** (Spanish, 'What a sad life!') was a Spanish comedy series for Internet created by Natxo del Agua and Rubén Ontiveros, scripted and directed by the latter. *Qué vida más triste* achieved more than two million visits to its website at the start of the year 2008. This web also counted on several collaborations, such as Alejandro Tejería's. In October 2008 the format was adapted for a television series, broadcast by laSexta.

## Plot

The series deal with Borja, an ordinary guy from Basauri, spontaneous, fun and slightly cynical who works as a crane operator and still lives with his parents, that misadventures and amazing situations happen to every week. During the first three seasons, broadcast on Internet, Borja Pérez tells the spectators about his daily life, pretending he is filming a videoblog.

According to one of its creators, Rubén Ontiveros, the attractiveness of the series resides in the fact that we are used to watch superhero movies, people to whom extraordinary things happen, winners, people that overcome all problems and succeeds; but life is not like that. Borja represents a bit of all of us. Borja is a typical loser, with whom we can sometimes identify.

During the first few episodes, the series wanted to give the impression that what the spectators were seeing was an individual's real life. To support such a fiction, at times the camera recorded from unusual angles, as though it was hidden to capture a scene. or it showed us things that Borja did not want us to see. Later, particularly from its television broadcast, playing with the idea that it is really a fictional product, some episodes take place on the set, with the cameras at sight, as well as the spotlights and even technical staff. There are also episodes in which fantastic events happen, such as time travels, magic, space-time vortices, etc., but these episodes are exceptional. During the first seasons, the series had a strong continuity. The television format has caused the plot to develop more slowly, that some protagonist characters become secondary, or just disappear (Nuria and Izaskun have fallen out of the limelight and Laura has completely disappeared), whereas new ones have appeared (Borja's father, José Luis, Verónica and Sara).

## Structure

Each episode starts with Borja Pérez sitting on his bed, looking at the spectators. With great emphasis, he sets out a situation that has recently happened to him. But Borja is not often honest, and the spectator discovers he is lying because the narration is interspersed with flashbacks where we see what actually happened.

## Guest appearances

Through the course of the series, several famous actors, TV-speakers and other personalities played cameo parts: television presenters Patricia Conde and El Gran Wyoming, movie directors Nacho Vigalondo and Koldo Serra; and actors Óscar Jaenada, Gorka Otxoa and Ernesto Sevilla.

title: Brown falcon

abstract: The brown falcon is a relatively large falcon native to Australia and New Guinea. A number of plumage morphs occur, with the primary distinction being between the pale morph and the dark morph. Both morphs usually have dark brown upper parts and wing coverts. Dark morph birds have predominantly dark under parts, although some light streaking is common. Pale morph birds have white underparts that are varyingly streaked with brown, sometimes heavily so. Pale individuals may also have prominently white under tail coverts and these may be diagnostic. A distinctive aspect of their behaviour is shown in the breeding season when brown falcons make a loud, high pitched, cackle call and screeching while in flight. The species name berigora has Aboriginal origins.

# Brown falcon

The **brown falcon** (***Falco berigora***) is a relatively large falcon native to Australia and New Guinea.

A number of plumage morphs occur, with the primary distinction being between the pale morph and the dark morph. Both morphs usually have dark brown upper parts and wing coverts. Dark morph birds have predominantly dark under parts, although some light streaking is common. Pale morph birds have white underparts that are varyingly streaked with brown, sometimes heavily so. Pale individuals may also have prominently white under tail coverts and these may be diagnostic. A distinctive aspect of their behaviour is shown in the breeding season when brown falcons make a loud, high pitched, cackle call (like a laying hen) and screeching while in flight.

The species name *berigora* has Aboriginal origins.

## Description

Adults are usually 40 to 50 cm (16 to 20 in) long. They are found in light and dark forms and a variety of intermediates. Animals typically have red-brown heads with narrow black streaks with a light crown and off-white chin. Wings are a spotted red-brown with dark brown quills. Beaks are light blue/grey; eyes are brown. The falcons make a loud cackle call uttered frequently.

## Breeding and habitat

Brown falcons breed from June to November, usually in an old nest of a larger passerine or another hawk species; they occasionally nest in hollow limbs of trees. The brown falcon lays between two and five eggs that have red and brown spots and blotches.

## Subspecies

* *F. b. novaeguineae* : central and eastern New Guinea and coastal northern Australia
* *F. b. berigora* : Australia (except coastal north) and Tasmania

## Diet

The brown falcon eats small mammals, including house mice. They also eat young rabbits in the summer. It also eats small birds, lizards, snakes, and a variety of invertebrates, particularly caterpillars, grasshoppers, crickets, and beetles. Insects form the bulk of the animals' diets during winter and the falcons often chase the insects on the ground.

## Behaviour

Brown falcons and other Australian firehawks have been said to pick up sticks with flames and dropping them to spread fires and prey on escaping animals. According to *Audubon*, "That anecdotal evidence is sourced from personal testimonies by Australian firefighters and aboriginal people, as well as historical literature, and amounts to 14 firsthand narratives of this specific occurrence."

title: Possil Marsh

abstract: Possil Marsh is a nature reserve and Site of Special Scientific Interest, of both flora and fauna, within the city of Glasgow, Scotland. The reserve was once part of an extensive system of lochs and marshes which extended throughout much of lowland West Central Scotland. However, centuries of drainage and reclamation have resulted in the elimination of much of this system. Due to its geographic position, the marsh is particularly vulnerable from industrial and residential development. The reserve contains a monument for the High Possil meteorite, which fell there in 1804.

# Possil Marsh

**Possil Marsh** is a nature reserve and Site of Special Scientific Interest, of both flora and fauna, within the city of Glasgow, Scotland. The reserve was once part of an extensive system of lochs and marshes which extended throughout much of lowland West Central Scotland. However, centuries of drainage and reclamation have resulted in the elimination of much of this system. Due to its geographic position, the marsh is particularly vulnerable from industrial and residential development. The reserve contains a monument for the High Possil meteorite, which fell there in 1804.

## Geography

The reserve is 31.4 hectares (78 acres) in size, and lies in the catchment of the River Kelvin at 50m above sea level, adjacent to High Possil and Lambhill on the north side of Glasgow. Occupying a natural basin of fluvio-glacial origin between the River Clyde and the Kelvin, the site is roughly triangular in shape. Its northern border is bounded by Lochfauld Farm, whilst the south and eastern borders are protected from direct contact with industrial and residential areas by the Forth and Clyde Canal, as is the western border by the A879 and Lambhill Cemetery.

## Status

Possil Marsh has been under the custodianship of the Scottish Wildlife Trust since 1982, when it was acquired as a gift. Prior to this it had been managed by the Scottish Society for the Protection of Wild Birds, on behalf of the Scottish Wild Birds Sanctuaries Trust, since 1950. This management, and subsequent protection, has resulted in little alteration within the site in the past 50 years. Due to its importance, the marsh was first notified as a Site of Special Scientific Interest (SSSI) in 1954. Subsequently, it was then designated a bird sanctuary under Wild Bird Statutory Instrument 1956 No 333 (S10). Following the Wildlife and Countryside Act 1981, the bird sanctuary was redesignated under Wild Birds (Possil Marsh Sanctuary Glasgow) Amendment Order 1983. At present the reserve has multiple occupation – 4 owners, 2 occupiers, 1 owner/occupier. It also has British Trust for Ornithology status and district importance for wintering wildfowl, and its diversity of wintering birds, supporting up to 150 bird species, with 22 species recorded breeding. In addition to this it also contains a diverse number of invertebrate fauna, including 2 nationally scarce species and a number of locally scarce species, as well as many important plant species.

## Important habitats

The reserve consists of a shallow mesotrophic loch, covering roughly 15% of the total site, with extensive fen (10 hectares (25 acres)) and swamp (6 hectares (15 acres)) 45-50%, damp grassland 15%, dry meadow 10%, and birch and willow scrubland 15%. Within the site there are a number of vegetation communities including *Typha latifolia* beds, *Potentilla palustris* meadows and *Carex rostrata* swamps. These fen/swamp habitat communities are the largest remaining areas of their type within the district, and also include limited areas of *Carex diandra* fen (locally rare). Other notable areas of interest include the dry grassland/heath habitat and the central birch island which contains an important number of *sphagnum* species.

### Notable flora

Plants that are of local and/or national importance include: *Lysimachia thyrsiflora* (nationally scarce), *Sphagnum riparium* (nationally scarce), *Sphagnum magellanicum* (locally rare), *C.diandra* (locally rare), and *Lemna triscula* (rare in Scotland). Many of the species which are firmly established within the reserve have either been deliberately introduced, such as *Berula erecta*, *Chamerion angustifolium*, and *Ranunculus bulbosus*, or have been accidentally introduced, such as *L. thyrsiflora*, *Mimulus luteus*, *Urtricularia minor*, and *Elodea canadensis*, from the adjacent canal. Other species, such as *Ranunculus scleratus*, entered the marsh due to material being brought in to level up the ground for a cottage that once stood within the reserve.

### Species lost

Past land use, natural succession and human activities have played a role in changing the reserve's vegetation. This has resulted in the loss of species such as *Agrostemma githago, Apium inundatum, Armoracia rusticana, Asplenium adainatum-nigrum, Astrantia major, Baldellia ranunculoides, Barbarea verna, Campanula rotundifolia, Ceratophylum demersum, Ceterach Officinarum, Drosera rotundifolia, Gnaphalium sylvaticum, Humulus lupulus, Hypericum humifusum, Lemna gibba, Mimulus luteus, Narthecium ossifragum, Oenanthe crocata, Ophioglossum vulgatum, Parnassia palustris, Pyrola minor, Radiola linoides, Ranunculus ficaria, R. hederaceus, Rorippa amphibia, Sagina nodosa, Sagittaria sagittifolia, Salix repans, Utricularia intermedia, and U. vulgaris*, all of which are now believed to be absent.

# Shadow of the Beast (2016 video game)

***Shadow of the Beast*** is an action-adventure game developed by Heavy Spectrum Entertainment Labs and published by Sony Interactive Entertainment for the PlayStation 4 in 2016. It is a remake and re-imagining of the 1989 game of the same name.

## Gameplay

Gameplay of *Shadow of the Beast* combines platform and action elements, with the introduction of combos. Players have to defeat enemies. This can be achieved by counter-attacking to strike them down; shield-wielding foes must be ducked behind in order to defeat them. It features a traditional health bar, combos through quick time events, traps, and puzzles. The game features the parallax scrolling from the original title, using some 3D elements.

The original *Shadow of the Beast* is included in the remake as an unlockable extra. An "infinite lives" mode was added to make the original game easier to play.

## Plot

The game follows the story of its original predecessor. Players control Aarbron, a seventh born to a seventh child, who was born so strong that Maletoth, a reaper of spirits, saw in him the potential to hold a great power. Maletoth kidnaps Aarbron. While Aarbron's mother leads the search of her son, perishing in the process, Maletoth brings Aarbron to the Gate of Souls, where he ordered the Council of Mages to corrupt Aarbron through magic. Aarbron becomes a monstrous warrior-servant manipulated by Maletoth for his quest to conquer the world.

Later, Maletoth learns of another strong child, so he commissions the mage Zelek to kidnap this child by using Aarbron. In the meanwhile, Aarbron's father had turned to the Seekers, a group of people dedicated to stopping Maletoth. The Seekers discover Maletoth's plan to kidnap this second child to replace Aarbron. The Seekers find the child before Zelek in the attempt of keeping her safe from Maletoth. However, Zelek learns of this plan and uses Aarbron to slaughter everyone involved in protecting the child, including Aarbron's father.

Killing his father awakens Aarbron. He pursues Zelek, who had found refuge in the lands of the Dryads and given the child to the Queen of the land. The Queen sends the child to Maletoth, while unsuccessfully trying to kill Aarbron. The child is delivered to Maletoth, while Aarbron learns of Maletoth' machinations from a dying Zelek.

Aarbron goes to Hydrath's castle to defeat Hidrath and enter the portal the leads to Maletoth. The Sentinel, another of Maletoth's creation that seek revenge, sees in Aarbron the power to finally take on Maletoth and helps him in this endeavor. The Sentinel brings Aarbron to the Graveyard of the Fallen so that he could channel the soul trapped there and gain power. Empowered by these souls, Aarbron defeats Maletoth, taking his power for his own.

## Development

*Shadow of the Beast* was announced for PlayStation 4 during Gamescom. The first trailer was revealed, together with the announcement of Heavy Spectrum Entertainment Labs being the developer of the game. The first gameplay footage during E3 2015. The game was released on May 17, 2016.

The game uses the Unreal Engine 4 as its underlying engine technology, and Audiokinetic Wwise for audio.

## Reception

*Shadow of the Beast* received "mixed" reviews according to the review aggregation website Metacritic. *IGN* said: "Bloody, elegant combat and an otherworldly vibe make *Shadow of the Beast* a successful reboot of the Amiga classic." *GameSpot*, however, said, "For a remake, it's not a good sign that the best part about the modern *Shadow of the Beast* is revisiting the game that inspired it." In Japan, where the game was ported for release on May 19, 2016, *Famitsu* gave it a score of one eight, two sevens, and one eight for a total of 30 out of 40.

Writing for *Metro*, David Jenkins gave the game eight out of ten and described it as taking the inspiration from the art and concept of the somewhat flawed original and marrying this with influences from modern action games, such as *Castlevania: Lords of Shadow* and *Heavenly Sword*, to create something greater than its own legacy. Jed Pressgrove of *Slant Magazine* gave it four stars out of five, saying that the game "surpasses its predecessor by articulating a horrific but heroic myth underneath the clothes of a traditional platformer and beat-'em-up." However, Sam Loveridge of *Digital Spy* gave it three stars out of five, saying, "*Shadow of the Beast* might not be exactly what true fans were expecting, especially with a few strange gameplay and narrative choices, but there's still something here for everyone. It's short, but it's only £11.99 and there's plenty of replayability here - not to mention it's two games for the price of one."

# Kulap

***Kulap*** figurines of limestone or chalk were made in Melanesia. The small funerary sculptures from New Ireland were associated with death rituals. They are typical in the hilly Punam region of the New Ireland province in Papua New Guinea of the Bismarck Archipelago. They were believed to contain the soul of the deceased person whom they were meant to represent, and would be ritually smashed once their usefulness or the period of mourning was over. In more recent years, some have been sold in their intact forms to Westerners, particularly to German administrators.

## History

The figurines were found in an intact form in the nineteenth century. However, as Christianity took roots in these islands, the belief system for Kulap figures vanished. Particularly when the Australian administration of New Ireland was established in 1914, the ritual practice ceased to exist. However, during the colonial rule, the figurines were sold to Westerners for their cultural value. The earliest recorded history of these figures was provided by Reverend George Brown during his visit to an area on the west coast at Patpatar of southern New Ireland where the language spoken was Hinsal. Brown had noted that these figures were kept in a large, painted, corner house, which was well maintained on protected land. The building had kept two, large, painted human figures (one large male figure and the other smaller but not intended for worship) inferred to be linked to some kind of superstition as people danced in front of the figures. Women and children were prohibited entry. The last of the figurines was created ca. 1910.

## Features

The chalk limestone used for carving Kulaps is found in the river beds of the hilly Punam region of southern New Ireland. Recent studies indicate that the figures are also from Muliama on the east coast. In villages where the language spoken is Patpatar, the Kulaps are known by other names, such as *Katpuo* or *Papawa* in Saraha village.

Carved Kulaps may sometimes be painted. They are produced by artisans from the Rossel Mountains. They may represent either men or women. Some of these figures are carved in "stylized" form and painted in pure white colour and kept in small enclosures. The figurines represent the dead, generally in a sitting posture. Only specific people were allowed to handle such figures as it was believed that the “spirit" or "soul of the dead” in whose commemoration it was made should be temporarily confined to these figures to prevent them from harming the village environment. However, smaller images of Kulaps made of chalk are kept in houses.

## Rituals

Rituals were involved in selecting and making these figures. It involved a male relative of the deceased specifically visiting the Russel Mountain quarries to acquire a suitable stone. The funerary sculpture was made by specialist artists. The carved figure was presented to a local leader in secret, where it would be formally kept, sometimes standing in rows with other kulaps, within leaf-decorated mortuary structures. Only men were allowed to visit the ceremonial enclosure to view and perform rituals to the figures of the dead. Women and children mourned the dead relative from outside the enclosure as they were considered impure to see the figurines. After the specific period of mourning was over, the figure was removed from the shrine in secrecy and destroyed to symbolically represent the release of “the soul into the realm of the ancestors”, otherwise bad spirits could reach the ancestor. These funeral practices are not conducted anymore.

title: Evoked field

abstract: Evoked fields are part of the magnetoencephalogram. They are brain signals evoked by sensory stimulation, but usually buried by the ongoing brain activity. Repeating the stimulus multiple times and averaging the signals reduces the uncorrelated ongoing activity and reveals the evoked field. Evoked fields are the magnetoencephalographic equivalent to evoked potentials, which are part of the electroencephalogram.

# Evoked field

**Evoked fields** are part of the magnetoencephalogram. They are brain signals evoked by sensory stimulation, but usually buried by the ongoing brain activity. Repeating the stimulus multiple times and averaging the signals reduces the uncorrelated ongoing activity and reveals the evoked field. Evoked fields are the magnetoencephalographic equivalent to evoked potentials, which are part of the electroencephalogram.

## Auditory evoked fields

An **auditory evoked field** (**AEF**) is a form neural activity that is induced by an auditory stimulus and recorded via magnetoencephalography, which is an equivalent of auditory evoked potential (AEP) recorded by electroencephalography. The advantage of AEF over AEP is the powerful spatial resolution provided by magnetic field recording, which AEP lacks. Thus, researchers using AEF often deals with the global responses of the whole brain at the cortical level while focusing on the role of the auditory pathway. The common applications of AEF are prenatal and neonatal hearing screening, cortical pitch perception, language comprehension, and attention.

### Sources and types of responses

The main source of the auditory evoked field is the auditory cortex and the association cortices. The earliest cortical components of AEF is equivalent to the *middle latency response* (MLR) of the EEG evoked potential, called the *middle latency auditory evoked field* (MLAEF), which occurs at 30 to 50 ms after the stimulus onset. M30 and M50, occurring at 30 and 50 ms after the stimulus onset, correspond to the *Pa* and *Pb* peaks of MLR. The M50 response was often used to study the correlation of aging and hearing loss. Research has shown that the amplitude of contralateral M50 enlarges with age.

At 100 ms after stimulus onset occurs the most prominent response in the late latency range, the M100, which corresponds to the N1 peak of the *auditory long latency response* (ALR) potential. M100 is the most widely used magnetic field response clinically. In 2007, Lütkenhöner *et al.* demonstrated that M100 can be applied to estimate hearing threshold to a higher degree of accuracy.

Longer latency responses after 100 ms are referred as event-related field (ERF) that includes M150, M200, M300 (equivalent of P300), and M400.

# Cyclochila australasiae

***Cyclochila australasiae*** is a species of cicada and one of Australia's most familiar insects. It is distributed through coastal regions of southeastern Australia. Green specimens are commonly known as **green grocers** and yellow ones as **yellow mondays**.

It is one of the loudest insects in the world.

## Taxonomy

*Cyclochila australasiae* was first described as *Tettigonia australasiae* in 1805 by amateur zoologist Edward Donovan, who reported that it was common in New South Wales and many specimens had been collected and sent to England. Ernst Friedrich Germar named it *Cicada olivacea* in 1830. It was the second Australian species of cicada described after the double drummer (*Thopha saccata*).

It was formerly commonly known as the Great Green Cicada; in addition, the various colour forms have different vernacular names, including Yellow Monday for a common yellow morph; Chocolate Soldier for a rare dark tan form; Blue Moon for a rare turquoise form; and Masked Devil for its red-orange form. The names for the green and yellow forms have been recorded since at least 1896. Australian entomologist Walter Wilson Froggatt reported that the green form was known as green Monday (alongside yellow Monday for the yellow form) in his 1907 work *Australian Insects*.

## Description

*Cyclochila australasiae* measures about 4 cm (1.6 in) in length, with a wingspan of 11–13 cm (4.3–5.1 in). Diverse colour forms are seen, the most common being predominantly green or brownish yellow. It has red eyes. The exuvia, or discarded empty exoskeleton of the nymph form, is commonly seen on tree trunks in gardens and bushland during the summer months.

The loud calls of the male are heard over the summer months; harsh and high-pitched, these may reach 120 decibels. The sound is made by the rapid buckling of the timbal ribs, and amplified by resonation in an air sac; the frequency is around 4.3 kHz. Calls occur in the afternoon and dusk of warm days.

## Distribution and habitat

*Cyclochila australasiae* is found from Kroombit Tops in southeastern Queensland through eastern New South Wales and Victoria to the Grampians, and through to Mount Gambier in southeastern South Australia. It is common along the Great Dividing Range, and is also found in the Warrumbungles. It is commonly seen (and heard) around Sydney and Melbourne, the Blue Mountains and Gippsland. In Brisbane, it is only encountered at elevations above 300 m (1000 ft). It was associated with the white stringybark (*Eucalyptus globoidea*) in a study at three sites in western Sydney.

## Life cycle

Their median total life cycle length is around six to seven years, this being from egg to a natural adult death. Most of this spent as a nymph. The cicada spends seven years in nymph form drinking sap from plant roots underground before emerging from the earth as an adult. The adults, who live for six weeks, fly around, mate, and breed over the summer.

## Human uses

Live cicadas are often collected by climbing trees and can be kept temporarily as pets in shoeboxes. They cannot easily be kept for longer than a day or two, given that they need flowing sap for food.

Her television credits include the character Lila Black in *Bloomers* (2011–2018) and guest starring as Jane Miller in a 2016 episode of *Hawaii Five-0.*

## Early life

Calico Cooper was born on May 19, 1981, to Alice and Sheryl Cooper, who resided at Benedict Canyon, Los Angeles. A year after her birth, the Coopers moved to Paradise Valley, Arizona. They also lived for some time in Chicago before relocating once again to Paradise Valley in 1985. In the early 1980s, Alice's continued substance abuse was putting a severe strain on his relationship with Sheryl, a strain which was exacerbated by the birth of Calico. Sheryl initiated divorce proceedings in November 1983. Alice finally committed to sobriety that year, and Sheryl reconciled with him months later in 1984. Sheryl, a professional dancer, enrolled Calico in dance at age 3. The Coopers felt it was important for their children to attend public school, and Calico's schooling included Hopi Elementary and Arcadia High School. While attending Arcadia High, she belonged to a dance company and professionally performed and competed at the national level in classical ballet, jazz, acrobatics, and tap. She also started instructing dance. In her teens, Cooper attracted tabloid attention with her awkward attempts at glamorous fashion. She remembers being mocked by the British press at the age of 14.

## With Alice Cooper

At the age of 16, Calico started performing roles in her father's touring stage shows. Her first role was occasional, specifically as one of the evil clowns who opened Alice's shows at the time. After graduating high school, she moved to Los Angeles to pursue an acting career. However, she then found work performing in her father's stage shows. At age 18, she was hired by Alice to perform multiple roles in and provide choreography and design costumes for his *Brutal Planet* tour. The most known character she portrayed in the tour was the dominatrix "bullwhip girl", for which she was instructed by Sheryl, who had previously portrayed the character. She also inherited the sadistic nurse character who often presided over Alice's beheading. With the latter character, Calico at first continued Sheryl's role—an "ingenue" or "1940s actress" that the audience would want to protect—but after a few years transformed the nurse into a character, "Nurse Rozetta", that the audience would hate and whose defeat would make Alice almost a hero. Cooper said "I really caught my confidence. All of a sudden, instead of the nurse just being sexy or provocative, I was like, "What if I made you hate her more than you hate Alice? I bet I could do that.'" A routine she performed in 2000, dressed as the nurse, involved Alice grabbing her by the neck and slamming her into the hatch of an overturned vehicle. During one show that year, at the Aerial Theater in Houston, Texas, Calico received a minor ankle laceration.

Her tour with *Brutal Planet* at first intimidated her as she, like her mother before, was the only woman not only among the band but among the merchandise staff, catering, and drivers, and she was cautious of overstepping. However, as she began making suggestions, her ideas were received enthusiastically by both those working the show and audiences. After this success, she stayed a regular in Alice's shows until 2011. When Chuck Garric joined Alice Cooper's live band as a bassist in 2002, he and Calico immediately bonded creatively and enthusiastically shared and discussed performance ideas with each other. Garric and other members of the band would occasionally play at bar shows when not on tour and sometimes would invite Calico to sing, presaging her joining his band Beasto Blanco in 2012.

During Alice's 2001–2003 *Brutally Live* and *Dragontown* tours, Calico portrayed Britney Spears in a satirical macabre comedic bit which ended in her fighting Alice, being dragged off stage by him, and Alice re-appearing with a mock-up of Calico-as-Spears' severed head impaled on a pole. During the bit, Alice would wear a shirt reading "Britney Wants Me" on the front and "Dead" on the back. On the *Dirty Diamonds* tour in 2005, Calico replaced the Britney character with a mock Paris Hilton who has her throat ripped out by a chihuahua, sending fake blood spurting into the audience. Another routine as Hilton involved her attempting to stab Alice only for him to deflect the blow, grab her by the hair, and drag her offstage. The Hilton character would come on during Alice's performance of "I Wish I Were Born in Beverley Hills". Calico in 2010 said that she felt that Spears and Hilton, whom she knows personally, understood the humor, and that one concert where she performed the Hilton bit, Hilton was in the audience. Other characters she portrayed on that tour included a vampire, a henchman, and the nurse character, the last of whom would hold up an imitation of Alice's severed head after his character was guillotined. She said in 2010 that sometimes there was backlash as to the propriety of what Alice would act out with his daughter. Her response was that she was now 27, she was not getting hurt, and not playing a love interest. "People misunderstand, but there's always been blood, guts, incest. When Shakespeare did it, it was like, 'he's a genius!' but when Alice Cooper does it, it's like, 'That's gross!'" Alice in 2009 stated that, while on tour, Calico would not be able to fully clean off her bruising makeup between concerts, and when she and Alice would go to the mall together they would get concerned looks from strangers.

Cooper credits her stage shows with her father with establishing her in niche in stingingly provocative comedy. Her character would fall stairs and take pies to the face. She said in 2011 that since childhood she always tried to make people laugh, and "For all the years that I toured with my dad, the harder I could fall on my face, or the bigger reaction I could get, it didn't matter what language you spoke it was funny." The members of the show also liked to pull pranks, such as duct taping the guitarist of the opening act and throwing him out of the venue, hiding Calico's skirt so she had to come on stage in her underwear, or one time, the final show of Alice Cooper touring with Scorpions, when Alice and her conspired to have the male members of his band dress in lingerie and replace the dancing girls on the Scorpions' set.

In 2011, she stepped down from regularly touring with Alice to pursue her acting career. She has made concert appearances since. In the 2014 concert of Alice and Sheryl Cooper's annual charity concert Alice Cooper's Christmas Pudding, Calico and Sheryl both portrayed a ghoulish nurse character, at one point each of them gnawing on opposite ends of a baby doll. In 2017, Calico performed as the nurse character, getting roughed up during "Only Women Bleed" but coming back to torment Alice while he was straitjacketed singing "The Ballad of Dwight Fry".

## Acting and comedy career

In the mid-2000s, when not on tour with Alice Cooper, Calico acted in several independent films, mostly horror, including *The Curse of El Charro*, *JunkfoodHorrorfest* (2007), where she portrayed a "junkie serial killer", and *Rolling* (2007), where she portrayed a character using MDMA at a rave. A role in a deleted scene in the 2007 *Halloween* remake earned her Screen Actors Guild card. She played a lead role in *The Visitor*, which was in pre-production in 2008. Cooper portrayed Heather in *Dakota Skye* (2008), a barmaid in the horror film *Suck* (2009), and co-starred as the "Woman" character in *Thirty Proof Coil* (2010). Her first starring role in a film was in the 2010 horror film *Thirty Proof Coil*. She claims that she landed many horror movie roles due to her shows with Alice. When she left the Alice Cooper tours in 2011, at the advice of local actors she enrolled in master classes taught by Ivana Chubbuck. After taking the course, at Chubbuck's recommendation, she auditioned, successfully, for the improv comedy groups The Groundlings and Upright Citizens Brigade Theatre. She also studied with the Stella Adler Studio of Acting, Margie Haber, and Gordon Hunt. In 2011, she landed a starring role in the TV series *Bloomers* (2011–2018) as the recurring character Lila Black and made an uncredited cameo in *Hall Pass* (2011). She portrayed Marcy in *13/13/13* (2013) and co-starred in *Welcome to Hell* (2018), which incorporated the short *Family Time* originally from 2013, portraying Susan, a murderous pedophile mother. She portrayed herself in *The Curse of Denton Rose* in 2020. Additional television roles include the murderer Jane Miller in a 2015 episode of *Hawaii Five-0*, and the character Tabitha in the 2016 episode "Danger & Thunder" in the children's comedy series *Henry Danger.* In 2016 she made an appearance on *The Mindy Project*. Cooper's directing and production work includes directing commercials and music videos and producing the crime-comedy film *Love of Mass Destruction*, which she co-starred in, the short film *The Taxi Man*, and the single-episode TV series *The Normal Ones*, a show she also wrote and co-starred in. In the 2024 short film *Fire Fucking Fire*, which debuted at Tribeca Festival in June, Cooper co-starred as the rock star love interest Meg opposite Ally (Rachel Paulson).

## With Beasto Blanco

In 2012, bassist Chuck Garric formed a band with Chris “Brother” Latham, Beasto Blanco, and Garric invited Cooper to perform backing vocals on some songs on their first album, *Live Fast Die Loud* (2013). She was reluctant at first as she had promised herself never to be in a band because she did not think she was a good singer. Garric told her "you’re a really good actress so just act like you're a singer", and after going into the studio she discovered that she could sing to her satisfaction. Originally the plan had been for her to be a back-up singer, but during the recording process Garric increasingly featured her singing. When Beasto Blanco decided to go on a bar tour of Europe, Cooper decided to properly join the group. While she had previously told herself she would never be in a band, she realized "I want to be in *this* band. This is it." During their European tour, they developed a signature sound and visual style, melding heavy metal with a gruesome stage show, Cooper dressing in fishnet, chains, and leather, and often brandishing some form of weapon, including a Louisville slugger with nails through it and a CO2 gun. Calico said that when she focused her career on film and television work, she missed performing live, and joining Beasto Blanco allowed her spontaneity and opportunities to push boundaries. She considers her body an instrument: "I couldn't take up an instrument if I wanted to during Beasto because I'm so busy with my body." According to Cooper, on every tour she creates new costume pieces and does make-up for her character. The character, "Machine Girl", keeps evolving, as Cooper says she is "never done testing her boundaries." According to Cooper, "some tours she’s meaner, some sexier, some downright ridiculous." Inspiration for "Machine Girl" includes the art of H. R. Giger and Frank Frazetta, with "maybe a little *Magic: The Gathering* sprinkled in". She recounts that one time a kid came up to her after a show and said she looked like Sindel from *Mortal Kombat*. "I told him he had a good eye, but if he told anyone my secret, I'd finish him. He got the joke, Thank God." In 2017, Cooper said her costumes are provided by Hazmat Design, and Cooper will look at "Vikings and baroque era gowns and ninja folklore" when collaborating with Hazmat to create the pieces. A reviewer of a concert by the band in 2022 compared the aesthetic of the group to *Mad Max: Fury Road* with the stagecraft of Alice Cooper.

Over the course of subsequent releases, Cooper's vocals contribution progressively increased. She shared lead vocals on a cover of her father's single "Feed My Frankenstein" on the band's second, self-titled recording, and Garric splits vocal duty evenly with Cooper on their latest recording, *We Are* (2019). In a 2020 interview, when asked how it is for her to be the only female in a rock band, she said everyone is treated the same, and she often forgets that she is the only girl.

> Except for one time, we were playing a club and in a creepy quiet moment some guy yelled 'SHOW YOUR TITS!' My band just stood scary still for a moment. And started to take off their instruments. I just thought 'Oh no.... This is gonna turn into a brawl.' They were ready to throw down. But before they could the whole crowd turned on the guy and dragged him outside. I hope he healed well.

She said in a 2018 interview that when she first started developing her character (which in boots stands about 7 feet tall), she assumed that men would respond well to her, but she also then had women coming up to her afterwards to say how her performances are empowering for them. In 2023 the band signed with COP International.

## Influences

Cooper grew up hearing a variety of music. She states that her parents played a lot of classic artists such as Laura Nyro and Burt Bacharach, contemporary acts such as Zodiac Mindwarp and Guns ‘N Roses, as well as Elvis Presley and The Beatles. She said her mother is also very into classical and soundtracks. She also has mentioned enjoying her father's music and emo punk such as Alkaline Trio, Descendants, and The Marked Men. In 2020, she mentioned listening to genres outside of rock – classical, electronic, heavy blues – to incorporate into her music with Beasto Blanco. A review of *Live Fast Die Loud*, the first album of Beasto Blanco, compared the musical style of the group to Alice Cooper and White Zombie. Cooper describes her brand of comedy as physical slapstick. She states that growing up she watched Monty Python and Peter Sellers and she wanted to grow up to be the female Jim Carrey. She cites her top fashion influences as Alexander McQueen, Naeem Khan, and Zuhair Murad.

## Additional activities and personal life

In 2004, Cooper stated that dating was difficult for her because of the fame of her father. Cooper married the actor Jed Williams in 2015, in Maui, Hawaii. She volunteers at The Rock, one of the teen centers of Alice Cooper's Solid Rock, a non-profit founded by Alice and Sheryl Cooper and Chuck Savale. She helped set up a black box theatre for the center. She also has done modeling work.

# Poston Elementary School, Unit 1, Colorado River Relocation Center

The **Poston Elementary School, Unit 1, Colorado River Relocation Center** is a historic complex of school buildings in Poston, Arizona. This nationally significant complex was built in the 1940s on the grounds of the Poston War Relocation Center, a Japanese-American internment camp operated by the Office of Indian Affairs of the United States government during World War II. The complex is the only surviving school built in one of the ten camps, and it was designed and built by Japanese-American internees living at the camp. It was designated a National Historic Landmark District in 2012.

## Description and history

The former Poston Elementary School complex is located on the Colorado River Indian Reservation in southwestern Arizona, southwest of Parker, on the north side of Poston Road west of Mohave Road. During World War II, this area was the site of Unit 1 of the Poston War Relocation Center, one of the largest Japanese-American internment camps to operate during the war years. The school complex is in a roughly rectangular area bounded on the south by Poston Road, and on the other sides by the remains of irrigation ditches that were also the product of camp labor. The school consists of a series of single-story buildings, built out of adobe blocks and covered with flat roofs. Most of them served as general-purpose classrooms; other surviving buildings include a woodcraft shop, library, and portions of the auditorium, which was significantly damaged by fire in 2001.

The Poston Camp was established after the United States entered into World War II, in response to widespread (and unfounded racist) fears that Americans of Japanese descent posed a risk to the war effort, particularly in the western United States. Most of the Poston camp infrastructure was erected in great haste by contractors in early 1942, and evacuees began arriving in May of that year. Construction of the school was organized by the camp administration, largely in response to concerns raised by the evacuees over the lack of such educational facilities. The school buildings were designed by Yoshisaku Hirose, a naturalized Japanese immigrant, and an evacuee, and they were built largely out of locally-available materials by camp residents. The building walls are fashioned out of adobe blocks 12 by 18 by 4 inches (0.30 m × 0.46 m × 0.10 m) in size, and finished on the outside with a layer of adobe plaster. Poston was the only one of the ten internment camps at which schools of this type were built in this way, and this is the only internment camp school complex to survive today. Most of the other internment camp buildings at Poston (and indeed at many other camps) have long since been demolished.
