# Races of Stone

***Races of Stone*** (sometimes abbreviated to **RoS**) is an optional sourcebook for the 3.5 edition of the *Dungeons & Dragons* fantasy role-playing game.

## Contents

*Races of Stone* focuses on gnomes, dwarves, and a new race, called goliaths, providing cultural information for these races as well as subraces. The book also introduces new deities for these races, including the goliath pantheon led by Kavaki, the Ram-Lord.

## Publication history

*Races of Stone* was written by David Noonan, Jesse Decker, and Michelle Lyons, and published in August 2004. Cover art was by Adam Rex, with interior art by Thomas Baxa, Steve Belledin, Wayne England, Jeremy Jarvis, Doug Kovacs, Chuck Lukacs, Dennis Crabapple-McClain, Jim Nelson, Wiliam O'Connor, Scott Roller, Ron Spencer, Joel Thomas, Franz Vohwinkel, and Brad Williams.

A web enhancement for the book was published in 2004 by Wizards of the Coast.

David Noonan explains the origins of the concept for the goliath race: "It all started with a piece of concept art that looks very similar to the *Races of Stone* cover. My job was to write the chapter for 'the big guy.' It's one of the most satisfying design assignments I've received."

### Reprints and revisions

*Races of Stone* was later included, along with *Races of Destiny* and *Races of the Wild* in the *Dungeons & Dragons Races Gift Set*, released in 2005.

## Reception

The racial substitution levels in the book have been praised because "\[the\] mechanic lets you play more than just another dwarven fighter or gnome bard."

MetaReview's MetaRating for the book is 6.8.

### Awards and nominations

*Races of Stone* was nominated for the 2005 Chesley Awards award for Best Gaming-Related Illustration for William O'Connor's artwork, "Training a Dire Badger", although it lost to the artwork of the *Magic: The Gathering* card Blazing Archon.

title: Race for the Galaxy

abstract: Race for the Galaxy (RftG), or simply Race, is a card game designed by Thomas Lehmann. It was released in 2007 by Rio Grande Games. Its theme is to build galactic civilizations via game cards that represent worlds or technical and social developments. It accommodates two to four players by default although expansions allow for up to six players, as well as solo play. The game uses iconography in place of language in some places, with complex powers also having a text description. While appreciated by experienced players for being concise, some new players find the icons difficult to learn and to decipher. The game won Boardgamegeek's Golden Geek Award for best card game, Fairplay Magazine's À la carte award for best card game of 2008, and was described by the magazine Tric Trac as "Le jeu de cartes de cette année 2008".

# Race for the Galaxy

***Race for the Galaxy*** (***RftG***), or simply ***Race***, is a card game designed by Thomas Lehmann. It was released in 2007 by Rio Grande Games. Its theme is to build galactic civilizations via game cards that represent worlds or technical and social developments. It accommodates two to four players by default although expansions allow for up to six players, as well as solo play. The game uses iconography in place of language in some places, with complex powers also having a text description. While appreciated by experienced players for being concise, some new players find the icons difficult to learn and to decipher.

The game won *Boardgamegeek's* Golden Geek Award for best card game, *Fairplay Magazine's* *À la carte* award for best card game of 2008, and was described by the magazine *Tric Trac* as "*Le jeu de cartes de cette année 2008*" (The card game of the year 2008).

## Development

*Race for the Galaxy* by Thomas Lehmann began as a card game version of *Puerto Rico*, with Thomas Lehmann working on his own and in cooperation with Andreas Seyfarth, and while Lehmann's version did not make it into publication as *San Juan* in 2004, he continued work on the game and added a space-themed customizable card game and this was ultimately released as *Race for the Galaxy* by Rio Grande Games.

## Gameplay

Like many other Euro-style games, players win *Race* by having the most victory points at game end. VPs come from three sources: *worlds* and *developments* placed on a player's tableau, and VP *chips* earned by consuming goods from worlds. To place a world or development, players pay a cost in cards from their hand. Keeping a steady income of new cards throughout the game is important to victory.

### Phase selection

At the start of each round, all players simultaneously and secretly choose one of five *phases*: Explore, Develop, Settle, Consume, or Produce. Selections are revealed simultaneously. The only phases which actually occur in a round are those selected by players. Additionally, the players who picked a certain phase get a special bonus during that phase, such as the ability to look at more cards during the Explore phase.

Every card in play has powers which are active during various phases. For instance, the development "Investment Credits" has a Develop power which makes placing developments one card cheaper.

### Round play

Within a round, phases (those selected by players) happen in the following order:

1. **Explore** – Draw two cards and keep one.
2. **Develop** – Play a development.
3. **Settle** – Play a world, either by paying to take it peacefully or by military conquest.
4. **Consume** – "Ship" resources for cards and VPs. As a bonus activity, players can **Trade** a resource to earn many cards, but no VPs.
5. **Produce** – Put a good (a face-down card from the deck) on all production worlds that do not have one.

After all phases are complete, players discard down to a hand limit of 10 cards. Unusually among card games, cards discarded due to the hand limit or when paying a cost are placed face-down (in a "messy" pile to distinguish them from the draw deck), concealing information that could be used to deduce upcoming draws.

Play continues until, at the end of a round, either at least one player has 12 or more cards in their tableau, or the entire starting pool of victory point tokens has been claimed by the players. At that point, the player with the highest total of victory points from tokens and from cards in their tableau is the winner.

### *Race* vs. other titles

The play style of the game is similar to that of another Rio Grande game, *San Juan*, which is the card game version of the board game *Puerto Rico.* Lehmann, *Race*'s designer, developed his own card game version of *Puerto Rico* at the request of the publisher. Some of its ideas were incorporated in *San Juan*. Later, Lehmann used those ideas to create a different game, one of space exploration, settlement, and conquest rather than development in the colonial Caribbean.

The principal difference in the playing sequence between *Race* and *Puerto Rico/San Juan* is that in the latter games, a given phase can only be chosen by one player each round, and the order of activities is based on player order and the phases each player picks in succession; in *Race*, multiple players may choose the same phase, and the order of activity execution is fixed.

Wei-Hwa Huang, who is credited as a development assistant for *Race*, went on to become the primary designer of *Roll for the Galaxy* (assisted by Tom Lehmann). In this adaptation six-sided dice represent a player's workers, with rolls determining what phases workers are placed in.

## Expansions

During playtesting, plans were made for two expansions to add more variety to gameplay, shore up certain strategies, and to accommodate more players. The game's success prompted the publisher to request a third expansion, as well as new expansions not requiring the original trio.

Currently there are five expansions for *Race*. The first three expansions, *Gathering Storm, Rebel vs Imperium*, and *The Brink of War*, comprise the first expansion arc. These expansions thematically focus on a struggle for galactic control between the militarily powerful Imperium and a Rebel uprising. The second arc, which is designed to be played separately from the first, includes only the expansion *Alien Artifacts*, about the revival of long-dead Alien overseer technology. In the third arc the *Xeno Invasion* set chronicles a catastrophic invasion by monstrous "Xenos" from a distant world.

All the expansions provide new game cards, starting worlds, and support for at least five players. Many new mechanics also interact with base set keywords, such as "Rebel" or "Uplift".

### The Gathering Storm

The first expansion adds components for a fifth player, additional cards, *goals* (opportunities to gain extra victory points chosen at random at game start), and rules and components for solo play (against a "robot" player).

### Rebel vs Imperium

The second expansion is intended for use with the first expansion. It adds components for a sixth player, more cards and goals, and direct player interaction in *takeovers* of other players' military worlds; players who refrain from playing certain cards are immune to conquest. Takeovers are optional and the rules for this expansion encourage trying the game both with and without them. This set also introduces many new Rebel and Imperium Cards and introduces a special two-player scenario where one player takes the role of The Imperium while the other starts with a Rebel homeworld. In this variant the starting hands consist partly of Imperium/Rebel cards and takeovers are allowed.

### The Brink of War

The third expansion adds still more cards, and goals, as well as a new mechanic called galactic prestige. Each round the player(s) with the most prestige earn an additional victory point and possibly a card. Each prestige is worth one victory point at the end of the game, and many of the new cards allow prestige to be spent (for victory points, cards, or other effects). Additionally, a new "once-per-game" action is introduced that allows the user to search the deck for a card meeting a specific stated requirement, or to enhance the bonus the user earns in a round (at the cost of one prestige). The set further extends takeover options: the Interstellar Casus Belli development can allow attacks against anyone, and the Imperium Planet Buster can destroy enemy worlds outright.

### Alien Artifacts

The fourth expansion is used with only the base game and was released during 2013. It includes new explore powers and an optional "orb game" in which players explore for victory points and new powers. Some players have criticized the gameplay of the orb game while praising the game cards in the set, saying that the orb makes the overall game play non-simultaneously and last too long.

### Xeno Invasion

The fifth expansion, published 2015, is for use with the base game only. According to Lehmann, "*XI* is aimed at intermediate players" and has the most new base cards of any expansion so far. It allows for up to 5 players, and in addition to new world and development cards it includes an optional "Invasion Game", in which players must defeat three waves of Xeno alien invaders. Players can earn bonuses by contributing to the war effort, but the game can also end in two new ways: repulsing the Xeno threat or losing to the invaders.

## Reception

*Race for the Galaxy* was a finalist for the best "Traditional Card Game" at the Origins Awards.

Arjun Sukumaran said that "Thomas Lehmann has received abundant acclaim over the course of his game design career, most notably for his excellent Race for the Galaxy - a game many would consider to be the best card game around."

Matthew Monagle for */Film* said in 2021 that "it is a testament to Thomas Lehmann's design that a game released in 2007, an eternity ago in board game years, can still compete with the big boys a decade-plus later."

In 1999, Energy Enterprises merged with Radio Pacific to become Pacific/RadioWorks Group. Then, Pacific/RadioWorks merged with Radio Otago, forming RadioWorks.

## Radio stations

### North Island stations

These stations were sold to Energy Enterprises in 1997.

92 MORE FM in Napier was operated as a franchised station, this station became Hawkes Bay's 92FM and later was replaced with network station Solid Gold, Classic Rock 92FM in Tauranga also was replaced with Solid Gold. Classic Gold 1548 in Rotorua was closed down and the station was used as a second frequency for Lakes 96FM, and today is used for TAB Trackside (previously known as BSport, then LiveSport). The other stations Kis FM, Lakes 96FM, Hot 93 and Star FM were all rebranded as More FM in late 2004/early 2005 when RadioWorks rebranded the majority of their heritage stations as More FM. 90.2 Hot FM Rotorua started as a summer station before it became 96FM permanently. This summer station recruited local talent as well as bringing in seasoned veterans from the Hawkes Bay. Many went on to have long careers in local and international radio.

### South Island stations

Prior to the sale of the company in 1999, Radio Otago operated the following stations:

Today Radio Dunedin and Radio Wanaka are the only stations still operating under their heritage name. Radio Wanaka was sold to a different operator. 4XO, Fifeshire FM, Radio Central, Resort Radio and Foveaux FM were all rebranded as More FM in late 2004/early 2005 after RadioWorks rebranded most of their heritage stations as More FM. Fifeshire Classic was closed down by RadioWorks in 1999 and replaced with Solid Gold.

Easy Listening i94FM was a franchised station and after this franchise agreement ended the station was rebranded as Lite FM, prior to this Lite FM had been based from Dunedin and networked to Invercargill. Lite FM in Dunedin and Invercargill were replaced with Solid Gold following the merger of Radio Otago and RadioWorks. Lite FM remained in Christchurch and was rebranded as The Breeze in 2004 after RadioWorks rebranded all their Easy Listening stations as The Breeze.

93Rox in Dunedin was rebranded as C93FM originally separate from the Christchurch station and networked to Invercargill as C91FM. C93FM was later networked from Christchurch with the Southland station now branded as C93FM despite broadcasting on 90.8FM. Following the merger, C93FM in Dunedin and Invercargill was replaced with network station The Rock, C93FM continued to broadcast in Christchurch but now with a change of format to Adult Contemporary and The Rock launched in Christchurch on a separate frequency. The change of format for C93 was not popular and the station was shut down in 2001 and replaced with Solid Gold.

# RFA Black Rover

**RFA *Black Rover*** was a Rover-class small fleet tanker of the Royal Fleet Auxiliary (RFA). She was designed to replenish ships underway at sea with fuel, fresh water, and stores in all weather conditions. She had a helicopter deck served by a stores lift and was capable of conducting helicopter replenishment. Displacing 16,160 tonnes, she was powered by twin diesels and has a ship's company of 60.

## History

*Black Rover* was launched by Swan Hunter on 30 August 1973 and was accepted into service the following year. She was in refit in Rosyth during the Falklands Conflict and took no part in the efforts to liberate the islands.

*Black Rover* was deployed from UK in June 2005 and its tasking included assisting with post-tsunami reconstruction and participation in multi-national exercises in the Far East as the UK's component of the Five Power Defence Arrangement.

In 2006 she was the Flag Officer Sea Training (FOST) tanker, and in September she hosted the RFA recruitment video film crew. Her role as FOST tanker allowed the film makers to capture many of the RFA's capabilities. The busy nature of the FOST schedule allowed the film crew to experience a wide variety of exercises and evolutions during their time on board.

In 2013, *Black Rover* deployed to the Falkland Islands and South Georgia.

*Black Rover* was scheduled to decommission in 2016 however she never returned to sea under her own power after docking in Birkenhead in September 2015.

## Disposal

In March 2017, after 18 months alongside in Birkenhead, *Black Rover* was towed to Portsmouth. On 29 August 2017 the Defence Equipment Sales Authority (DESA) invited expressions of interest from companies interested in receiving an invitation to tender in respect to the proposed sale for the sole purpose of recycling of the former RFA ship. She departed Portsmouth under tow on 11 August and arrived at Aliaga on 1 September 2019. Scrapping was completed on 20 January 2020.

The film's soundtrack consists of five songs all composed by S. Thaman while the lyrics were penned by Ramajogayya Sastry, Anantha Sreeram and Sri Mani. The film also marked N. T. Rama Rao Jr.'s return as a playback singer after a hiatus of four years. The film's soundtrack released on 4 August 2014 at Shilpakala Vedika in Hyderabad through Aditya Music label.

## Development

Initially during the launch of the film, it was reported that Devi Sri Prasad was hired as the music director. However S. Thaman replaced him later. However reports emerged that Anoop Rubens would compose the music for the film. It was reported that Anoop replaced Thaman as Thaman's music for the recent projects were received with negative response. However, Santosh decided to keep Thaman as the music director of the film after participating in the music sittings with Anoop Rubens in September 2013. Anoop on this issue responded "It was purely Santosh’s decision. I was working on a song and it was not fully complete." Thus it made Thaman re enter the film as the Music Director since Santosh and Anoop failed to be on the same page. In December 2013, reports emerged that the song "Attamadugu Vaagulona Atta Kodako" from the 1981 blockbuster film *Kondaveeti Simham* starring N. T. Rama Rao and Sridevi was said to be remixed in this film and N. T. Rama Rao Jr. and Samantha Ruth Prabhu would star in it. In mid-February 2014, reports emerged that N. T. Rama Rao Jr. would sing a song in this film thus turning a singer again after singing in his previous films *Yamadonga*, *Kantri* and *Adhurs*. On 11 July 2014 Thaman informed on his Twitter page that Karthik sang a song in this film whose lyrics were penned by Anantha Sreeram. Later in mid-July 2014, it was confirmed that the song performed by N. T. Rama Rao Jr. is titled *Raakasi Raakasi* and his voice was modulated accordingly by Thaman later.

## Release

In the fourth week of May 2014, it was reported that the film's audio would release in June 2014. In the second week of June 2014, it was confirmed that the makers would release the audio on 20 July 2014. But the Telangana State Government did not gave permission for the audio launch on 20 July because of security reasons as the state's biggest festival Bonalu is celebrated statewide on that day. Thus the date was postponed to 26 July 2014. Later the makers finalized 27 July 2014 at the date of soundtrack's release. The makers wanted to release the soundtrack on 27 July 2014 at Shilpakala Vedika in Hyderabad but because of non-availability of venue, the release date was shifted to 4 August 2014, which was confirmed by them on 20 July 2014. The same was confirmed officially by releasing a press note on 22 July 2014.

### Marketing

The Incomplete Track list featuring six songs without any details of singers, lyricists and duration was released into the internet on 13 July 2014. It was reported later that N. T. Rama Rao Jr. would perform in the audio launch event held at Shilpakala Vedika. On 4 August 2014, the Audio release poster featuring a still of N. T. Rama Rao Jr. and Samantha Ruth Prabhu from a song in the film was released which confirmed that the film's soundtrack is marketed by Aditya Music. The event had a live streaming on MAA TV from 7:30 pm and in one of the Aditya Music's official YouTube channels named Aditya MusicNMovies. Apart from them, the event had a live telecast in MAA Movies from 7:30 pm. Aditya Music released the full tracks and official jukebox hours before the audio launch which proved the released track list wrong. The jukebox featured 5 songs contrary to the released track list and it contained varying genres.

### Reception

The songs received viral response before the audio launch on 4 August 2014. The soundtrack also received positive reviews from critics. *IndiaGlitz* gave a review stating "When it is Thaman, expect a lot of exuberance in the air. As if to match the title's theme, he dishes out a rumbustious music. If that is a qualification, the rumbustiousness of Rabhasa is not in many colors. Thaman induces a deja vu feeling in two songs, while the others live up to his image." it added "The choice of lyricists ranges from the profound Ramajogayya Sastry and Ananth Sriram to the prolific Srimani. The singers give a good output, with Suchit Suresan's voice leading the pack. With NTR singing a number for this album, Rabhasa is surely going to be a special one for his fans. The lyrics give an indication of the kind of story we may be in for." *123Telugu* gave a review stating "On the whole, Thaman plays it safe with Rabhasa, and gives a mixed bag of songs. Right from romance, fun and massy numbers, this album has it all. Rakasi Rakasi, Maar Salam and Hawa Hawa are sure shot hits and our picks. Finally, Rabhasa’s music album sounds decent and will definitely grow on you, once you watch them visually."

# Rachel Bolan

**Rachel Bolan** (born February 9, 1964), born **James Richard Southworth**, is an American musician, best known as the bassist and main songwriter of the metal band Skid Row.

## Career

Bolan was born in 1964 to Aida and Hubert Southworth. He grew up in Toms River, New Jersey. The youngest of four children, Bolan is half Portuguese. When he was in junior high school he began considering a career in music after drummer Damian Cordisco asked him to play bass in his band. Bolan's first gig was in 1978 at Manasquan High School. Bolan credits Cordisco with opening his ears to music he had not heard, by artists such as Ramones, AC/DC, Joe Jackson, Sex Pistols, the Cars and Elvis Costello. Bolan graduated from Toms River High School East in 1982.

His stage name 'Rachel' is a hybrid of his brother's name, Richard, and his grandfather's name, Manuel. 'Bolan' is a tribute to one of his childhood idols, T. Rex frontman Marc Bolan. In 1990, Bolan legally changed his name to Rachel Bolan Southworth.

After high school, Bolan joined with Scotti Hill and other musicians to form a band named Godsend. In 1986, guitarist Dave "The Snake" Sabo was forming the band Darkness, and he brought Hill and Bolan into the band. They changed the band name to Skid Row in late 1986.

Bolan has appeared as a vocalist on two of Kiss guitarist Ace Frehley's solo albums and back-up vocals on Mötley Crüe's *Dr. Feelgood* album. He has produced numerous bands including Rockets to Ruin, the Luchagors in 2007 with former wrestler Amy "Lita" Dumas and Atlantic Records stoner metal band Godspeed. He formed the band Prunella Scales with Solace guitarist Tommy Southard and L. Wood. Prunella Scales released "Dressing Up the Idiot" on Mutiny Records in 1997. Jack Roberts (guitar) and Ray Kubian (drums), both from the New Jersey–based band Mars Needs Women, joined Prunella Scales for touring. He played the bass guitar for Stone Sour on the band's records *House of Gold & Bones - Part 1* and *House of Gold & Bones – Part 2* as a replacement for the departed bassist Shawn Economaki. He can also be seen playing bass in TRUSTcompany music video for the single "Heart in My Hands".

Bolan has another side project called the Quazimotors. He did this project with Skid Row drummer Rob Affuso, Jonathan Callicutt and Evil Jim Wright (guitarist for Spectremen, BigFoot, Road Hawgs).

## Personal life

Bolan married longtime girlfriend Donna "Roxxi" Feldman on June 10, 1994, but later divorced. He has no children.

He drives racecars in his free time. He competes in high performance go-karts, Legends Cars, Thunder Roadster, and Pro-Challenge series cars.

title: Charles-Joseph Traviès de Villers

abstract: Charles-Joseph Traviès de Villers, also known simply as Traviès, was a Swiss-born French painter, lithographer, and caricaturist whose work appeared regularly in Le Charivari and La Caricature. His Panthéon Musical was one of the most famous and widely reproduced musical caricatures of the 19th century. His younger brother was the painter and illustrator Édouard Traviès.

text:
# Charles-Joseph Traviès de Villers

**Charles-Joseph Traviès de Villers**, also known simply as **Traviès**, (21 February 1804 – 13 August 1859) was a Swiss-born French painter, lithographer, and caricaturist whose work appeared regularly in *Le Charivari* and *La Caricature*. His *Panthéon Musical* was one of the most famous and widely reproduced musical caricatures of the 19th century. His younger brother was the painter and illustrator Édouard Traviès.

## Life and career

Traviès was born in Wülflingen (now a district in the Swiss city of Winterthur) although he later became a naturalised French citizen. His father was an engraver of English descent. His mother was from a French family and a descendant of the Marquis de Villers. He studied art in Strasbourg and later under François Joseph Heim at the École des Beaux-Arts in Paris. When he was a young man, a series of financial misfortunes left his parents in poverty, and he became their sole support. He began his career producing portraits and genre paintings and made his debut at the Paris Salon in 1823. He also turned his hand to producing designs for wallpaper and printed fabrics.

By the late 1820s he had become a popular caricaturist enjoying particular success with his collections *Tableau de Paris* and *Galerie des Épicuriens*. He then joined Charles Philipon's satirical magazines *La Caricature* and *La Charivari* where he was to become one of their most prolific caricaturists. Both magazines were highly critical of the July Monarchy and its king, Louis Philippe, whom they mercilessly caricatured. His most famous creation during this period was the character "Mayeaux" (sometimes spelled "Mahieux") a hunchback who came to represent all the faults and foibles of the *bourgeoisie* who were the principle supporters of Louis Philippe. The character, which first appeared in the pages of *La Caricature* in 1831, was the inspiration for several other satirists including Daumier, Grandville, and Honoré de Balzac. Using pseudonyms, Balzac wrote two articles on Mayeux's adventures for *La Caricature*—"M. Mahieux en société" and "M. Mahieux au bal de l'Opéra".

During this time Traviès also became involved in early socialist movements, an interest which he maintained throughout his life. He was first attracted to Saint-Simonianism and then to the ideas of Simon Ganneau, becoming a follower of Ganneau's sect *Evadisme* which focused heavily on equality of the sexes. In his later years he would become increasingly attracted to the utopian socialism of Charles Fourier and Fourier's disciple Jean Journet. He also carried out lengthy correspondence with Flora Tristan and François Ponsard, a poet and playwright of socialist leanings.

Following the assassination attempt on Louis Philippe in July 1835, a law was passed on 9 September 1835 forbidding political caricatures and articles critical of the king. In light of the subsequent fines and imprisonments imposed on the press for violations of this law, Traviès, like many of his colleagues, turned his attention to satirizing French customs and culture. He also provided illustrations for Balzac's *La Comédie humaine* and Eugène Sue's *Les Mystères de Paris* as well as producing many depictions of the Parisian poor and their daily life. Baudelaire, who was an admirer of his work, including these later pieces, wrote of Traviès:

> He is the prince of the unfortunate. His muse is a nymph of the suburbs, pale and melancholy. \[...\] Traviès has a deep feeling for the joys and sorrows of the common people. He knows the scoundrel thoroughly, and he loves him with tender charity. For this reason his *Scènes Bachiques* will remain a remarkable work.

When Baudelaire wrote these words in 1857 he observed that Traviès had been inexplicably "missing from the scene" for quite a while. After 1845 Traviès had worked more and more sporadically. The last fourteen years of his life were marked by depression and illness. However, he exhibited portraits in the 1848 and 1855 Paris Salons and finally managed to complete his religious painting *Christ et la Samaritaine* which was exhibited in the 1853 Salon and bought by the French government. He died in his Paris apartment on 13 August 1859 at the age of 55. According to contemporary obituaries, he died in poverty lying on a straw bed.

## Works

### Portraits and paintings

*Armand Barbès en Prison*, drawn by Traviès in 1835, is the only known portrayal of Armand Barbès in prison. It depicts him alone in his cell in Sainte-Pélagie where he was held from 1834 to 1835, the first of his many imprisonments. The drawing conveys a sense of melancholy and isolation with deep shadows and only the subject's face illuminated. Traviès's lithograph portrait of the opera singer Elisa Julian, published in the journal *La Sylphide* in 1840 and exhibited at the Paris Salons of 1848 and 1855, was particularly admired by the writer Alfred Deberle. During the late 1830s Traviès also produced lithograph portraits of the composer Ferdinand Hérold and statesman Dupont de l'Eure as well as *Galerie des Illustrations Scientifiques*, a series of portraits of prominent French doctors and scientists which were published in *Charivari* and separately as prints by Maison Aubert.

The art critic Champfleury, who knew Traviès in his later years, described his studio as filled with unfinished religious paintings by a painter who appeared to have lost his confidence. He finally completed his *Christ et la Samaritaine* (Christ and the Samaritan woman) after working on it for over 14 years. Exhibited at the Paris Salon of 1853 and bought by the French government, it now hangs in the parish church of Saint-Gilles, Gard. In 1975 it was declared a *monument historique* as one of the few known examples of a Traviès oil painting. Another unsigned oil painting c. 1840 depicting the cabaret at Café des Aveugles is attributed to Traviès by the Musée Carnavalet, although the art historian Claude Ferment has disputed the attribution as almost certainly an error. The painting was shown in the Paris Pavilion at the Exposition internationale de Liège in 1930.

# Pensive

**Pensive** (February 5, 1941 – May 20, 1948) was a bright chestnut Thoroughbred racehorse that in 1944 won the first two legs of the U.S. Triple Crown. Pensive also began only the second sire line "hat trick" in the Kentucky Derby, as his son Ponder won the 1949 Derby, and Ponder's son Needles won the 1956 edition.

## Background

He was sired by Hyperion, out of Penicuik II (by Buchan). Pensive was brought to the United States still *in utero* by Arthur B. Hancock, who then sold the mare to the owner of Calumet Farm, Warren Wright. Wright had inherited Calumet from his father, William Monroe Wright, president of the Calumet Baking Powder Company. Pensive began his training under Calumet's future Hall of Fame trainer Ben A. Jones.

## Racing career

At two, Pensive raced five times, winning twice. His three losses all came in stakes races. At three, he ran a checkered season, winning and losing fairly equally. He beat older horses in the Rowe Memorial Handicap, but lost to an older horse, Tola Rose, in the Bowie Handicap. Tola Rose had defeated Whirlaway in the Butler Memorial Handicap.

Pensive, ridden by Conn McCreary, won the Kentucky Derby going away by four and a half lengths. A week later, he took the Preakness. That year, the Belmont (at the time the least of the three races), had upped its purse to $50,000. Pensive was in the lead when Bounding Home inched by to take the race by less than half a length.

Following his loss in the Belmont, Pensive lost all eight of his final starts.

## Stud record

Pensive was retired to stud, producing the winner of the 1949 Kentucky Derby, Ponder. He died 13 days after Ponder's win Pensive is buried at Calumet Farm.

# Center of the Universe (album)

***Center of the Universe*** is an album by the American band Giant Sand, released in 1992. It was the first Giant Sand album to receive wide distribution and a traditional promotional campaign. It was also the band's first album for Restless Records, which had rereleased a couple of older Giant Sand albums. The band supported *Center of the Universe* with a North American tour.

## Production

Recorded in Venice, California, the album was produced by the band; they did not want a traditional producer suggesting or correcting musical ideas. Giant Sand entered the studio with songs for half an album, and had to finish the rest of the songs during the sessions. Many of the songs are about characters on the fringes of society. Vicki Peterson and Susan Cowsill, credited as the Psycho Sisters, provided backing vocals on some of the tracks. Victoria Williams contributed vocals to the title track.

| Source | Rating |
| AllMusic |  |
| Robert Christgau |  |
| *The Encyclopedia of Popular Music* |  |
| *Spin Alternative Record Guide* | 8/10 |

*The Philadelphia Inquirer* noted that "leader Howe Gelb continues to write ragged songs that refuse to adhere to a narrative track." Robert Christgau praised "Thing Like That" and the title track. *Trouser Press* said that "the heads-down rockism of the loud'n'proud *Center of the Universe* is clearly descended from Crazy Horse, particularly when Convertino and bassist Joey Burns lock into a groove as primordial as the one that propels the harsh 'Seeded ('tween Bone and Bark)'." *The Washington Post* deemed it a "post-punk version of country-rock."

*USA Today* noted that the band "embraces both pop structure and punk abandon." *Spin* determined that the album "opens with an explosion of pointy guitar noise worthy of the meanest Lower East Side cluster-hunch, and coalesces into a wide brainful of songs describing the world as seen from the window of a mobile home falling through deep space." *The Vancouver Sun* opined that "Gelb songs sound likes he's using guitar strings about the size of trans-Atlantic cable, plucked with chunks of floor tile and sung in a borderline psychotic drawl."

AllMusic wrote that Giant Sand "assays another fascinating set of desert-fried rock & roll, serving up one winner after another on this excellent album."

# The World's Most Amazing Vacation Rentals

***The World's Most Amazing Vacation Rentals*** is a 2021 American Netflix series following three hosts as they travel the world visiting unique, budget, and luxury vacation properties. Netflix streamed two seasons of the series, the first of which premiered on June 18, 2021.

## Premise

Each episode, the show's three hosts, Jo Franco, Megan Batoon, and Luis D. Ortiz, share their top choice for a vacation rental to spend a few nights in. Franco's expertise is "Travel", and her goal is to pick the most unique rentals in the world to visit. Ortiz has a background in New York real estate and chooses the best "Luxury" rentals to stay the night. Batoon loves DIY (Do It Yourself) projects and is tasked with taking the other hosts to the best options for "Budget" vacation rentals.

The three hosts travel across the United States, as well as to spots in Mexico, Japan, Bali, and a number of other countries. Never staying at a hotel, they aim to uncover the best Airbnb and VRBO destinations.

Among other notable rentals, they would feature such spots as the G Bar M Ranch, the 3,200-acre dude ranch in Clyde Park, Montana that opened in 1934 (in Season 1's "American Adventure" episode), the Frank Lloyd Wright-designed Bernard Schwartz House in Two Rivers, Wisconsin as well as Philip Johnson's Glass House in New Canaan, Connecticut (both in Season 2's "Super Modern Stays" episode), the Futuro house in Joshua Tree (in Season 2's "Paranormal Places" episode), the Louise Harpman-built Casa Xixim in Tulum, Quintana Roo (in Season 2's "Eco Friendly" episode), and the remaining mill (which has been turned into a vacation rental) inside the Kingsley Grist Mill Historic District in Clarendon, Vermont (in Season 2's "On the Waterfront" episode).

title: Przemysław Gintrowski

abstract: Przemysław Adam Gintrowski was a Polish composer and musician. Gintrowski debuted in 1976 on a review of the Warsaw Riviera with the song "Epitaph for Sergei Yesenin". Shortly afterwards, in 1979, he formed a trio with Jacek Kaczmarski and Zbigniew Łapiński, and initiated a poetic programme "Mury" ("Walls"). The title song of the programme, "Mury", based on the song written by Catalan bard Lluis Llach L'Estaca – became an informal anthem of the Polish trade union Solidarity and the symbol of the fight against the regime. Other programs they created were "Raj" (Paradise) and "Museum". With the declaration of martial law in December 1981 Trio broke up – Jacek Kaczmarski remained in exile in France, and Gintrowski started his own artistic activity. He made his debut as a composer of film music – during the next ten years he created music for over twenty fictional films and serials. Gintrowski's songs were based on texts by Jacek Kaczmarski, Zbigniew Herbert, Tomasz Jastrun, Krzysztof Maria Sieniawski, Jerzy Czech, Tadeusz Nowak and Marek Tercz. For many years he did not record his own songs, although he still composed them for other artists and prepared music for films. For example, he created sound tracks for Andrzej Wajda's Man of Iron, Mother of Kings by Janusz Zaorski, and Stanisław Bareja's mid-1980s comedy series "Zmiennicy" (Shiftworkers). Gintrowski recorded another album entitled "Kanapka z człowiekiem" that contained older material as well as some brand new songs. On 31 August 2006 he was awarded by President Lech Kaczyński with The Order of Polonia Restituta.

# Thalia Massie

**Thalia Fortescue Massie** (February 14, 1911  July 3, 1963) was a member of a socially prominent U.S. family involved in a series of heavily publicized trials in Hawaii.

## Family life

Thalia Fortescue was born February 14, 1911, in Washington, DC. Her mother was Grace Hubbard Fortescue (1883–1979) and her father was Granville Roland Fortescue (1875–1952).

She married Navy lieutenant Thomas Hedges Massie (1905–1987), who was stationed at Pearl Harbor.

## The cases

In September 1931, Thalia Massie was found by a passing driver, Eustace Bellinger, wandering along Ala Moana Road in Honolulu at about 1 am on a Sunday morning. She had been beaten and had suffered a broken jaw after being abducted while leaving a party at the nearby Ala Wai Inn. When questioned by Bellinger and his passenger George Clark Jr., she stated that a group of 5 or 6 Hawaiian boys had assaulted her. Later at the hospital she claimed to police that she had been raped as well as assaulted.

Subsequently, five young men, Horace Ida, Henry Chang, Joseph Kahahawai, Benny Ahakuelo, and David Takai, two of Hawaiian ancestry, two of Japanese ancestry, and one of half Chinese/Hawaiian ancestry, who were initially arrested for assaulting a Hawaiian woman, Agnes Peeples, earlier that same night were later also charged with the rape of Massie. Joseph Kahahawai, a boxer, admitted to the earlier assault on Peeples, whom he had slugged and knocked over during a road rage incident at King and Liliha Streets, but all defendants denied having been involved in the assault on Mrs. Massie. The men were represented by two of the foremost criminal lawyers in the islands, William Heen and William B. Pittman, and the mixed-race jury deadlocked along racial lines. The five defendants were released on bail to await retrial at a later date.

Thalia's mother, Grace Fortescue, was deeply disturbed by the release of the defendants and many U.S. Navy personnel at Pearl Harbor were outraged. A short time later, Joseph Kahahawai was abducted when leaving the courthouse after a probation hearing and was found, shot dead, in the back seat of Grace Fortescue's car. Defended by attorney Clarence Darrow of Scopes Monkey Trial fame, Fortescue, Thalia's husband Thomas Massie, and two Navy sailors were eventually tried and convicted of manslaughter in the death of Kahahawai. Originally sentenced to 10 years, their sentence was commuted to one hour in the executive chambers of Governor Lawrence Judd of the Territory of Hawaii.

Thomas and Thalia Massie divorced on February 23, 1934, in Reno, Nevada. In 1953, at the age of 42, Thalia married 21-year-old Robert Thomlinson Uptigrove. They divorced in 1955. She died of an overdose of barbiturate pills in Palm Beach, Florida, on July 3, 1963.

# Rex Putnam

**Rex Putnam** (June 7, 1890 – May 17, 1967) was an American educator from the state of Oregon. A former classroom teacher and district superintendent, Putnam served as Oregon Superintendent of Public Instruction for nearly 25 years, the longest-serving state school superintendent in Oregon history. Following his retirement in 1961, a new high school in his adopted hometown of Milwaukie, Oregon was named Rex Putnam High School in his honor.

## Early life and career

Born in Buffalo Gap, South Dakota, Putnam received a Bachelor of Arts degree from the University of Oregon in 1915 and began teaching in Springfield, Oregon that year. He taught high school science in Tacoma, Washington for five years before returning to Oregon, where he became superintendent of the Redmond School District in Redmond in 1923. He received a master's degree from the University of Oregon in 1929, and in 1932, he was named superintendent of schools in Albany. He would later receive a doctorate from Lewis & Clark College in 1945.

## Oregon Superintendent of Public Instruction

In 1937, Oregon Superintendent of Public Instruction Charles A. Howard resigned to become president of Eastern Oregon Normal School (now Eastern Oregon University), and governor Charles Martin appointed Putnam to replace Howard. In 1938, Putnam was elected to a full term as a Democrat. In 1942, the position was changed to non-partisan, and Putnam was re-elected five more times, each time unopposed. In his nearly 25 years as state school superintendent, Putnam was an active contributor to academic articles about education and an influential voice for Oregon schools among nationwide educational organizations. During his tenure, Oregon's educational system expanded to include vocational education programs, special needs and gifted education, programs for Native Americans, along with expanded curriculum and other programs. School funding issues were also a focus of Putnam's tenure. He resigned from office in early 1961 due to health concerns.

## Personal and legacy

In 1962, a high school then under construction in Milwaukie, where Putnam lived, was named Rex Putnam High School in his honor. The school opened in 1963. Putnam died after a short illness in 1967. He and his wife Elinor had two sons, one of whom was killed in action during World War II.
