# The Roman Actor

***The Roman Actor*** is a Caroline era stage play, a tragedy written by Philip Massinger. It was first performed in 1626, and first published in 1629. A number of critics have agreed with its author, and judged it one of Massinger's best plays.

## Performance

The play was licensed for performance by Sir Henry Herbert, the Master of the Revels, on 11 October 1626, and performed later that year by the King's Men at the Blackfriars Theatre. Joseph Taylor, then the company's leading man, played the role of Paris, the title character. There is no record of another production of the play till 1692, when Thomas Betterton played Paris in a production by the United Company. The play was performed again in 1722 at Lincoln's Inn Fields. After that date the complete play fell out of fashion, though many actors, starting with John Philip Kemble in 1781, performed Paris's defense of the acting profession in Act I, scene 3 "as a short dramatic show-piece". Kemble also cut Massinger's text down to a two-act play that concentrated on Domitia's love for Paris; he staged this in 1781–82 and 1796.

## Publication

The play was first published in quarto in 1629 by the bookseller Robert Allot. Massinger dedicated the volume to three friends and supporters, Sir Philip Knyvett, "Knight and Baronet", Sir Thomas Jay and Thomas Bellingham "of Newtimber in Essex". The commendatory poems that prefaced the play were written by John Ford, Thomas Goffe, Thomas May and Joseph Taylor.

## Cast

The 1629 quarto also provides a list of the principal cast of the 1626 production:

| Role | Actor |
| --- | --- |
| Domitianus Caesar | John Lowin |
| Paris, *the tragedian* | Joseph Taylor |
| Parthenius, *a freedman of Caesar's* | Richard Sharpe |
| Aelius Lamia, *and* Stephanos | Thomas Pollard |
| Junius Rusticus | Robert Benfield |
| Aretinus Clemens, *Caesar's spy* | Eliard Swanston |
| Aesopus, *a player* | Richard Robinson |
| Philargus, *a rich miser* | Anthony Smith |
| Palphurius Sura, *a senator* | William Patrick |
| Latinus, *a player* | Curtis Greville |
| Domitia, *the wife of Aelius Lamia* | John Thompson |
| Domitilla, *cousin-german to Caesar* | John Honyman |
| Julia, *Titus's daughter* | William Trigg |
| Caenis, *Vespasian's concubine* | Alexander Gough |
|

In addition, James Horn and George Vernon played two lictors. (Several roles in the play are left off the list.) The 13-year-old John Honyman made his acting debut in this production; he played female roles for the King's Men for the next three years, to their production of Massinger's *The Picture* (1629); at the age of 17 he switched to young male roles.

## Sources

Massinger based his portrait of the Roman Emperor Domitian on the work of Suetonius (most likely in Philemon Holland's 1606 translation), supplemented by works of Tacitus and Dio Cassius, plus the second Satire of Horace and Book XIV of Ovid's *Metamorphoses*, among other ancient sources. Ben Jonson's first Roman tragedy, *Sejanus*, was Massinger's model "in style and in structure" and for "scene outlines"; "the trial of Paris (I,3)...is written in close imitation of the trial of Cordus in *Sejanus*, Act III."

## Synopsis

The play opens with a conversation between Paris and two actors in his troupe, Latinus and Aesopus; they discuss the poor professional prospects they face. Their one great advantage is the patronage of the Roman Emperor Domitian; otherwise, the current atmosphere of political uncertainty leaves them with little audience; their "amphitheatre...Is quite forsaken". Two lictors appear to summon Paris to the Senate, where he must "answer / What shall be urg'd against you." As Paris and his actors leave with the lictors, they are watched by three senators, Aelius Lamia, Junius Rusticus and Palphurius Sura. The senators complain of the conditions under Domitian, and contrast the better times that prevailed under his predecessors, his father Vespasian and his brother Titus.

The play's second scene shows Domitia, the beautiful young wife of Aelius Lamia, being sexually solicited by Parthenius, a freed slave of Domitian. Parthenius wants her not for himself, but as Domitian's mistress; Domitia's resistance is less than vigorous. Aelius Lamia enters, and is outraged at what he finds; but Parthenius has a centurion and soldiers at his back, and forces the senator to agree to a divorce.

The third scene shows Paris defending himself before the Senate. Aretinus, a cynical informer, has accused Paris of libel and treason – he complains that the actors "traduce / Persons of rank" with "satirical, and bitter jests". Paris defends himself and his profession eloquently. (It is this material that was given a life of its own in later centuries, as discussed above.) The hearing breaks up without a conclusion when word arrives that Domitian has returned to Rome.

Domitian is shown to be a braggart and a cruel egomaniac. He confronts Aelius Lamia, who has dared to be offended over losing his wife, and executes him. Domitia quickly takes to the privilege and power of being Domitian's wife, to the distress of the other women in the imperial circle: Domitilla, Caesar's cousin and former lover; Julia, Caesar's niece and another former lover; and Caenis, the concubine of Vespasian.

Parthenius and the actors stage a short play to try to influence Parthenius's father Philargus; the old man is a rich miser who scrimps on his food and wardrobe to save money. The playlet is designed to show the old miser the error of his ways, by depicting a very similar figure. The strategy fails: Philargus sympathises with the stage miser and persists in his stubborn course. Domitian, as is his way, sentences the old man to death for his recalcitrance; Parthenius's plea for mercy is ignored. The playlet fails in its purpose – but Paris's performance captivates the attention of Domitia; she quickly becomes obsessed with the actor, and begins spending her time with him and his troupe.

The situation at court provokes resentment and conspiracy; the freedman Stephanos offers to assassinate the emperor for Julia and Domitilla. Parthenius earns Domitian's ire by suggesting caution in the treatment of two senators and friends of Lamia, Junius Rusticus and Palphurius Sura. Domitian has had them arrested; the two men are tortured onstage, but their Stoic philosophy empowers them to resist the torture with equanimity. Domitian is shaken by their imperviousness to suffering.

Domitia's extravagant responses to Paris's acting reveals her emotional state to everyone except Domitian. Aretinus joins with the imperial women to inform Domitian of his wife's infatuation. They lead the emperor to spy on Domitia and Paris. Domitia uses both love and intimidation to try to seduce Paris; the actor resists at first, but equivocates to the point of kissing the empress. Domitian breaks in upon them, and has Domitia arrested; but he also orders Aretinus killed and the imperial women exiled, for showing him what he did not want to know.

Domitian confronts Paris alone; Paris humbly acknowledges his fault, and accepts his inevitable fate so sincerely that he almost seems able to talk his way out of his dire predicament. Domitian has Paris and his actors play a scene from a drama called *The False Servant*, that parallels their present situation; Domitian himself plays the injured husband. When the time comes for the emperor to play his part, he kills Paris, stabbing him with his real sword instead of the "foil, / The point and edge rebutted", that the actors use for their pretend fights. Domitian grants Paris a noble funeral.

Domitian sees the ghosts of the two Stoics Rusticus and Sura in his sleep; the figures wave bloody swords over their heads and remove a statue of Minerva, Domitian's divine patroness. When Domitian awakes, he finds the statue gone in fact. Thunder and lightning tell him that Jove has turned against him.

Resentment at Domitian's capricious tyranny grows; Parthenius and Stephano plan his assassination. An astrologer has predicted the emperor's death; Domitian executes the soothsayer, but surrounds himself with soldiers as he fearfully waits the time appointed for his death. Parthenius convinces Domitian that the appointed time has passed; the emperor dismisses his guards – and is stabbed to death by a crowd of his enemies, including Parthenius, Stephano, Domitilla, Julia, Caenis – and Domitia as well.

## Modern productions

*The Roman Actor* received a noteworthy modern production in 2002, by the Royal Shakespeare Company at the Swan Theatre in Stratford-upon-Avon, directed by Sean Holmes. It was also revived as part of the 2010 Actors' Renaissance Season at the American Shakespeare Center in Staunton, Virginia.

# The Ragman's Daughter

***The Ragman's Daughter*** is a 1972 British romantic crimedrama film directed by Harold Becker and adapted by Alan Sillitoe from his short story of the same name. It was Becker's first film during the 1970s and stars Simon Rouse and, in her screen debut, Victoria Tennant. The film tells the story of the ill-fated love between Tony, a petty thief from a working-class family, and Doris, the daughter of an upwardly mobile scrap dealer.

## Plot

Middle-aged Tony Bradmore privately thinks back on his wild youth and his love affair with Doris Randall. Tony's memories are interspersed with scenes from his current life as a cheese factory worker.

The young Tony is unemployed and lives with his working-class parents in a poor neighbourhood of crumbling terraces (rowhouses). He commits petty thefts and burglaries partly as a way of getting money and other items he wants, but also partly for the thrill of it. It is implied that his friends engage in similar behaviour and that theft is viewed as a way of getting by in an area perceived to have few economic opportunities. While hanging out with his friends at a local fish and chip shop, he meets the beautiful blonde Doris, whose dress and manner show that she is from a higher social class than Tony, his family and friends. Doris' father, a prosperous scrap merchant, originally came from Tony's neighbourhood, but due to his shrewd and sometimes dishonest business skills, he made enough money to move his family to a large, detached house in a nicer area. As a result of her father's money, Doris has nice clothes and her own horse, does not have to work, and attends an expensive school. Doris' father wants her to carry on his upward mobility by socialising with well-off young people and attending university, but due to her family background, Doris is uncomfortable with these expectations. She is instead drawn to Tony and the "kicks" they enjoy when spending time together, including riding on Tony's motorcycle and having sex. Doris' father disapproves of Tony, thinking Doris can and should do better, and tries to thwart the relationship.

Tony soon falls in love with Doris, and tries to convince her to run away with him, but Doris refuses. Instead, she encourages Tony to commit more burglaries and take her along, even after they are nearly caught in the act. The couple eventually burgle a shoe shop, during which Doris increases the risk on purpose by turning on lights and encouraging Tony to remain in the shop instead of leaving quickly. The police arrive and pursue Doris and Tony, who initially escape, but Tony in his haste leaves behind evidence that is traced to him. He is arrested and sent to borstal, ending his relationship with Doris. Upon being released, he learns that he had made Doris pregnant, and that she married another man before having the child. Doris and her husband were then killed when the motorcycle they were riding crashed. Doris' parents adopted her son. Denied contact with the child he fathered, Tony steals a radio in broad daylight on a busy street and is quickly apprehended.

The middle-aged Tony continues his pattern of theft by stealing cheese from his employer. He takes the cheese home to his working-class wife and young sons, with whom he has a loving relationship. Tony is caught with stolen cheese when police wrongly suspect him of a major bank robbery and search his bag. The police inform Tony's manager at the cheese factory, who sacks Tony but declines to press any charges. Tony's wife, although slightly frustrated, is supportive of him, although he does not let her know that he has been thinking of Doris all day. Tony reassures his wife that he can probably get a new job with the butcher.

title: The Resistance (Swedish band)

abstract: The Resistance was a Swedish death metal band formed in 2011 by former members of In Flames, Grave, and The Haunted. Their music is described as old-school death metal with the aggressive elements of 1980s thrash and hardcore. The band had problems getting a label, despite the members' successful work in their earlier projects. In an interview with Close Up, they stated that the labels were unwilling to sign the band without getting hand on an actual recording. The first full-length album named Scars was released in 2013. "It makes you want to kick in someone's forehead when listening to the album", according to Jesper Strömblad, the band's guitarist. The first planned album was cancelled, since the band members were not satisfied with the result. With Jesper Strömblad leaving to go into rehab and Marco Aro returning to The Haunted, on 17 May 2016, a 'game over' profile picture appeared on their Facebook page, signalling the band has ceased all activities. On 22 July 2016, their Facebook presence was removed, further indicating the band are no longer together. No official announcement has been made regarding the status of the band.

title: The Rabbit (Manet 1881)

abstract: The Rabbit is an 1881 oil painting by the French artist Édouard Manet, now displayed at the National Museum Wales in Cardiff, Wales. The work is a still life featuring a hung rabbit or hare which has been placed on a hook outside a closed house window.

text:
# The Rabbit (Manet 1881)

***The Rabbit*** is an 1881 oil painting by the French artist Édouard Manet, now displayed at the National Museum Wales in Cardiff, Wales. The work is a still life featuring a hung rabbit or hare (the work is sometimes referred as ***The Hare***) which has been placed on a hook outside a closed house window.

## Origin

*The Rabbit* was conceived as one of four decorative panels, and was painted not long after Manet had suggested a series of panels for the meeting chamber at the Hôtel de Ville in Paris, though nothing came of this concept. Completed in 1881, when Manet's health was in decline, *The Rabbit* was painted while the artist was spending the summer months at a villa in Versailles. The painting, which was one of the central pairings of a four panel set, was part of a new cycle of decorative work undertaken by Manet while at Versailles. The other central panel, along with *The Rabbit* conceived to representing hunting trophies, was *The Eagle Owl* which as of 2012 is part of the Buhrle Collection in Zurich. The outer panels illustrate, on one a vine on a trellis and the other a corner of a garden. Two other pictures were grouped as part of the same inventory from his studio at the time of Manet's death, a vase of flowers and a watering can; but although they may be related to the same cycle of work are not believed to be part of the set of panels related to *The Rabbit*.

The work was initially submitted to the Salon in Paris in 1882, but was not accepted. It was sold after Manet's death as part of a studio sale to the art dealer Paul Durand-Ruel. It later passed into the ownership of the Paris-based art firm, Bernheim-Jeune. In 1917 *The Rabbit* was purchased from Bernheim-Jeune by the Welsh philanthrapist Gwendoline Davies, who in 1918 exhibited it at the Victoria Art Gallery in Bath. On Gwendoline's death in 1951, she bequeathed her collection of Impressionist works to the National Museum of Wales, among them *The Rabbit*. As of 2012 it is on view at the National Museum Cardiff in gallery 11.

## Analysis

*The Rabbit* is painted in a bold and loose style, and is intended to be viewed from a distance. This is in stark contrast to an earlier work by Manet also entitled the *Rabbit* (1866), which is completed in a far more traditional French style of still-life painting. This earlier painting, which is in the style of Chardin, is far more conventional and detailed than the later painting. The 1881 picture is a far more casual work, with fast and broad brushstrokes suggesting various textures, not only in the fur of the dead animal, but also in the curtains behind the window and the climbing plant which both frame the hanging rabbit. This latter work is much closer to the Impressionist style.

# The Sloth Institute Costa Rica

The **Sloth Institute Costa Rica** is a small, not-for-profit organization based in Manuel Antonio, close to Manuel Antonio National Park, Costa Rica, dedicated to the rescue and rehabilitation of sloths. It often takes in orphaned or injured sloths, which require care. Through the work of the team, the sloths are rehabilitated and released back into the wild.

## Mission

The Sloth Institute's mission is to enhance and expand the welfare and conservation of sloths.

They achieve this by taking a multifaceted 4-part approach to tackling the issues that put sloths in danger:

* **RESCUE**, **REHABILITATE** and **RELEASE** orphaned and injured sloths.
* **RESEARCH** of captive, wild, and recently released sloths including collaborations with conservationists and scientists around the world.
* **EDUCATION** to generate and disseminate responsible information about sloths to the general public and train local public servants on proper sloth information and rescue techniques.
* **CONSERVATION** programs that negate human encroachment issues impacting sloth’s welfare and habitat.

The Sloth Institute is not a sloth sanctuary. TSI is a non-profit organization specializing in rescue, research and education with a particular focus on the behavior, health, and welfare of released, wild and captive sloths. Their sloths are not available to be seen by the public as it is in their best interest to have as little human contact as possible.

## Partnerships

The Sloth Institute Partners with several other agencies to rehabilitate, release and research sloths. They also use these agencies to reach more people in educating the public.

They work with Tulemar Resort Hotel, a resort placed in a jungle and adjacent to the maritime zone. This partnership allows the Sloth Institute to release orphaned and hand-raised sloths into the jungle and maritime zone. In addition Tulemar offers sloth walks that are meant to educate guests in a safe way. These walks are specifically for educating their guests and are not intended for interaction with the sloths because they are better off with less human contact....

The Institute also works with the Cincinnati Zoo and Botanical Garden to help with the study of and rehabilitation to release of sloths. This partnership came about in 2014 and is working in the Manuel Antonio area of Costa Rica.

## Projects

As part of the institute's goals of research and rehabilitation, they have a number of projects. The Sloth Speedways and Tracking programs are two of these projects.

Sloth Speedways' goal is to prevent dangerous travel from sloths across roads by keeping forests connected through strategically placed rope bridges. This project stems from the deforestation and building on previous forest space which can reduce a sloth's connections to food and shelter.

The Tracking program is the first sloth institute program, from 2015, and focuses on watching the recently released sloths to ensure their survival and health. In addition to tracking their rehabilitated and released sloths they also put tracking collars on wild sloths. This allows the program to determine if rehabilitated sloths are behaving like normal sloths would.

The data from the Tracking program allows the Institute to place these sloth speedways in commonly traveled and potentially hazardous areas for the sloths.

## History

The Sloth Institute Costa Rica was founded in 2014 by co-founders Seda Sejud and Sam Trull who is also known as "the Mother of Sloths".

It is also believed that the Sloth Institute delivered the world's first birth of a sloth by Caesarean section.

# The Seven Brothers of Lazia

**The Seven Brothers of Lazia** are the seven martyred brothers: Orentius, Cyriacus, Firminus, Firmus, Heros, Longinus, and Pharnacius. They were soldiers in the Roman Army, supposedly joined Diocletian's army at Antioch, saw service in Thrace, were condemned for their Christian faith and suffered martyrdom during the persecutions of co-Emperor Maximian.

## History

During the reign of Maximian (r. 284–305) Roman Anatolia faced Scythian invasion. Saint Orentius was ordered to fight against the Scythian warrior Marothom. Orentius defeated Marothom and thus stopped the Scythian invasion. The emperor intended to offer sacrifice to the pagan gods to celebrate the victory and invited Orentius. However, Orentius refused, explaining that he was a Christian. The Emperor gave orders to banish both the saint and his six brothers to the Caucasus. During the journey all seven brothers died from hunger or torture.

## Saints

Orentius, principal martyr; Longinus, final martyr; exiled to Pityus; and five others, all condemned at Satala.

| Saints | Day | Place of Martyrdom |
| --- | --- | --- |
| Saint Heros | 22 June | Parembol |
| Saint Orentius | 24 June | Riza (Rize) |
| Saint Pharnacius | 3 July | Kordila (Sivri Kale) |
| Saint Firmus | 7 July | Apsaros (Gonio) |
| Saint Firminus | 7 July | Apsaros |
| Saint Cyriacus | 24 July | Zigania (Anaklia) |
| Saint Longinus | 28 July | Pityus (Bichvinta) |

## Cult

St. Orentius' cult and whole tale of the Seven Brothers which also figures in the Menologion of Basil II, represented a Byzantine attempt to incorporate the Laz and Abkhazians into Orthodoxy by the erection of the Metropolis of the Phasis (and later exarchate of Lazia), which is also paralleled by an attempt to discipline them.

## Synopsis

Delirium of the Endless, miserable and increasingly unstable, resolves to pursue her much-loved brother Destruction, unheard-of by the Endless since he abandoned his role three hundred years ago. She petitions her siblings to help her look; only Dream, morose due to the unhappy ending of a recent love affair, agrees.

Delirium compiles a list of Destruction's acquaintances: "the lawyer, the alder man, Etain of the Second Look, and the dancing woman." Pharamond, an acquaintance of Dream's, supplies them with a car and a driver, Ruby. They first visit "the lawyer," Bernie Capax, but discover that he had been killed in a freak construction accident the previous day. Delirium determines that both "the alderman," the god Lieb-Olmai, and Etain are beyond their reach. At a motel, which abruptly burns down in a fire apparently caused by Ruby's cigarette; Ruby is killed. Dream, disturbed by Ruby's death, begins to suspect the operation of hostile forces.

They seek out the "dancing woman": the Mesopotamian love goddess Ishtar, a former lover of Destruction now working as a stripper; she grudgingly tells Dream that she does not know Destruction's whereabouts. Dream and Delirium depart; disconcerted by their visit, Ishtar decides to "truly dance," something she has not done since the height of her worship; the resultant release of physical energy destroys both her and the strip club.

Concerned about the ramifications of their search, Dream abruptly ends their journey, to Delirium's anger; they both withdraw to their realms. Dream consults Bast, who had previously bargained Destruction's location in exchange for the key to Hell; she advises him to consult an oracle, although Dream states that there are no oracles able to tell of the Endless. Dream and Delirium reconcile and resume their journey.

They appeal to Destiny, who refuses to help; he reminds Dream that there is an oracle of the Endless's blood, additionally warning that his only future meeting with his love will be unsatisfactory for both of them. Dream, deeply unsettled, is persuaded to continue by Delirium.

With great reluctance, Dream finally consults the oracle: his estranged son Orpheus, whom Dream had spurned in anger after a disagreement and denied death after his mauling by the Maenads. Dream is obliged to grant his son a boon in return; Dream and Delirium go to meet Destruction, who is living comfortably on the island across from Orpheus.

Destruction admits that he had erected automatic functions to deter those looking for him, irreversible once he had abandoned his role; these had been responsible for the deaths of Capax, Ruby, and Ishtar. He refuses to return, disappointing Delirium; he reflects that "there is no such thing as a one-sided coin." Destruction then dismantles his gallery and departs Earth.

Dream returns to see Orpheus and they reconcile. With regret, Dream grants him his boon and kills him, thereby violating the rule that the Endless may not shed the blood of family. Satisfied, Delirium returns to her realm. Dream returns to his realm, so transformed by guilt and sadness over Orpheus's death that denizens of The Dreaming struggle to recognize him. Upon discovering that Orpheus has died, his order disbands with Dream's blessing and buries his head.

# The Six-Sided Triangle

***The Six-Sided Triangle*** is a 1963 British short film written and directed by Christopher Miles and produced with Sara Bennett. It parodies a favourite theme of the cinema - the eternal triangle - and shows how six different countries might deal with the moment a husband returns home unexpectedly to find his wife with a lover, with Sarah Miles, Nicol Williamson and Bill Meilen. It was a seminal short film which broke through the Rank/ABPC distribution cartels and was theatrically released by British Lion and world-wide by Lion International, and nominated for an Academy Award.

## Plot

Using the eternal triangle as the main theme, the film shows how six different countries might deal with the moment a husband returns home unexpectedly to find his wife with a lover, with the same three actors playing all the roles. The film also parodies the well known styles of the prominent directors and stars of each country at the time the film was made.

As this theme was first explored by the silent cinema, it begins with desert sheiks, tents, Persian brocades and an Arab husband’s revenge, however the English are less hot- blooded with rain stopping the cricket, and a compromise over a whisky. The Japanese resort to harakiri unable to stomach American intervention, and the Italian stilted subtitles misinterpret the lover’s hot-bloodied feelings with "I admire your bust" and the husband’s anger with "I should never have married a Neapolitan lady of the town!".

The Swedes are silent in their snow-bound house, as the ticking handless clock fails to tell the time in the pervading gloom, as they carry on with their infidelities even after poison and wild strawberries are consumed, whereas the French New Wave and excessive hand- held cameras follow a lover’s search for a cigarette, and where ‘ça va?’ seems to cover most emotions until a surprise ending.

## Cast

## Production

The idea for "The Six-sided Triangle’ came to Christopher Miles when studying at the Institut des Hautes Études Cinématographiques in Paris. As it became clear to Miles that when the same script was given to several film students of different nationalities, they all ended up directing very different films, clearly showing the influence of a director’s interpretation of a script.

After making a short film ‘A Vol d’Oiseau’ with other film students in Paris in the holidays, Miles showed it along with the script for "The Six-sided Triangle" to the man in charge of distributing short films, Beresford Seligman, at British Lion in London. John and Roy Boulting, two of the company’s directors, liked the script and were willing to put up £1,000 towards the £6,000 total budget, leaving Miles and his co-producer Sara Bennett to find the rest.

The Boulting Brothers helped Miles form a company by taking over a defunct one in British Lion files - The Archers - once owned by Michael Powell and Emeric Pressburger, which became Milesian Film Productions Ltd and later trades under Milesian Lion.

The director’s sister Sarah had agreed to play the wife in one of her first films, against the wishes of her then agent Robin Fox as Miles was unproven as a director, but having already made some home movies with her brother years before she decided to sign her brother’s contract. Nicol Williamson, who was then with her in a play at the Royal Court Theatre, agreed to play the lover, with Bill Meilen completing cast.

The co-producer’s mother, and another friendly investor put up £2,000, but the investor for the rest reneged on his contract two weeks before shooting, leaving a £3,000 short fall which Miles had to fill by putting up his small Paris flat as collateral to the Midland Bank.

The underground World Wide Studios, in Chancery Lane, London WC2 agreed to a six day shoot, and would help complete the crewing, which in 1963 was completely unionised which meant having to include four people on the sound equipment. This added to the budget costs, and was unnecessary as the portable light-weight Nagra tape-recorder, and others already invented several years earlier, could have avoided having the need for two extra crew members who used to move the old 1940-50’s heavy equipment around the sound-stage.

Nevertheless a fully unionised crew was assembled with the help of a commercials producer, Ion Voyantziz, who suggested Miles see the work of a young cameraman David Watkin, who was working for British Transport Films, who cleverly thought that by using ‘sound-stock’ film in an old clockwork Newman Sinclair camera a ‘duped’ B&W orthochromatic look of the old silent films would be obtained. Miles then chose Bernard Sarron, for costumes and art direction, whose sense of satire he felt was in tune with the script, and Gerry Fletcher for make-up. The BFI helpfully suggested Arthur Dulay, who began a successful career as an accompanist of silent films for the first sequence. Miles was told his own Union Card had gone through the ACTT Union system, as the shoot had to start immediately owing to his sister’s availability. The 6 day 6 set shoot on 2 sound- stages was completed on time and budget. However during the second week of editing, Peter Musgrave the editor, received a call from George Elvin, the ACTT General Secretary, saying that all work on the film had to stop, and that work in Humphries Laboratories would also halt development of the film, as it turned out Miles’ director’s Union Card acceptance vote had not been completed in time.

The Boulting Brothers were incandescent, and rang Elvin to say that his Union had stopped a young director/producer making a British film with a full Union crew, and that the news would be headlines unless the matter was resolved immediately.

As the producers/directors of many films, the Boultings especially upset the Unions with their film, “I’m Alright, Jack!” with Peter Sellers in his first major film role as a shop steward. The ACTT dichotomy is that a producer is an employer, whereas a director is an employee, so you cannot have both on a Union card. The matter was stormily resolved, making Miles the youngest British film director for many years, and showed how the young were prevented from becoming filmmakers. To stop enthusiastic, hard-working filmmakers from being exploited a union is necessary, but not like the type that existed then.

## Critical reception

The Boulting Brothers and Gerry Lewis, British Lion’s Head of Publicity, were enthusiastic about the film, and felt with careful handling they thought that as the legal ‘third Government force’ in-between Rank and ABPC film circuits, they could get the film distributed and substituted for the dreary short film’s of Rank’s “Look at Life” and ABPC’s “Pathé Pictorial” Luckily the national UK critics agreed with them, and started bombarding the press with requests for the dinosaur film circuits to wake up as to what the public wanted.

Nina Hibbin of the Daily Worker wrote “Oh, where have all the good ‘shorts’ gone?” “Shorts are vital to any film industry. They give young aspiring directors a chance to try their wings and present experienced filmmakers with the challenge of brevity. Almost every country takes them more seriously than Britain and America. Distribution-Exhibition monopolies refuse to back independent short-makers. Occasionally however enthusiastic filmmakers do manage to crash the shorts barrier. Christopher Miles, who made “The Six- Sided Triangle” has been making films since he was a 15, it Is everything a very young director’s first big adventure should be, accomplished and entertaining.

Barry Norman of the Daily Mail wrote “The Six-Sided Triangle” is an excellent little production, a wicked satire, not only on national attitudes to the eternal triangle, but also on the way the subject is treated by the film industries of six different countries. “There is no requests for the 30 minute features in the cinema at the moment” said British Lion, which is a pity, as Christopher Miles told me, “I mortgaged my flat and everything I own to make this picture “ So far Christopher has been paid nothing.

William Hall of the London Evening News wrote, “An unknown British film may win Oscar” The film that couldn't get a booking on the big circuits has been nominated for an Academy award, “ I can hardly believe it”, said Christopher Miles the 23-year-old brother of Sarah, who was delighted.

Finally, at the request of Gorge Hoellering, the owner of the Academy Cinema in Oxford Street to show-case the film, the press were invited for a private viewing; the film received excellent reviews in the national press which helped British Lion & Lion International to distribute it throughout the world. At one screening at the Academy Cinema, the director who had crept unseen into a back seat, was surprised to see the audience stand and cheer at the closing credits.

"To have all the film-going experiences rolled into one half-hour is rather unnerving, but that is what a brilliantly talented young director, Christopher Miles, does with 'The Six-sided Triangle' - each of these episodes is a satirical delight.... Mr Miles has not only caught the flavour of the films he parodies; he has used different types of celluloid to get exactly the right quality in the cinematography. Felix Barker - EVENING NEWS - LONDON "...the long drab Bergman meal is very funny, so is the outburst of passionate Italian addressed to Sarah Miles, crisply subtitled after hours and hours "I admire your bust"...the observation of film styles is expert but not cliquish.... I really cannot see, apart from all- powerful self-interest, why Rank or ABC, shouldn’t run it on the circuits one week, instead of their deadly ‘Look at Life’ or ‘Pathé Pictorial’. Penelope Gilliat - THE OBSERVER

"...the parody being spread very cleverly over music, noises on the sound-track, dialogue, sub-titles, scenery and of course, acting. The young cast of three have their successes and failures. I liked especially Sarah Miles silent heroin with the Bella Donna eyes providing such fun in peeling a grape; Nicol Williamson manages to look wonderfully like Bergman’s actor Max von Sydow, and Bill Meilen gives a good impression of Jean-Paul Belmondo. Patrick Gibbs - DAILY TELEGRAPH

“...the Swedish example, all death-symbols and strawberries I thought the best, though there is good observation in the lot. A few months ago I saw another short piece of his, “A Vol d’Oiseau” (Bird’s Eye View) an engaging fantasy about Paris - a beginners work but they have ideas they ought to be given a chance. Dilys Powell - SUNDAY TIMES

“Youth is important to the film business, so why won’t somebody give a showing to 23 year old Christopher Miles? The star is Christopher's sister Sarah, superbly versatile as all six heroines. This wry, sly, witty half-hour film shows a talent worth encouraging" DAILY MIRROR

“If ever the world's supply of sex symbols dries up, we can do a roaring trade exporting Miss Sarah Miles.These thoughts are prompted by a delicious bit of burlesque called “The Six-Sided Triangle” It is a skilful spoof of how the directors of five countries and one left over from the cinema’s silent era, would cope with the most universal moment in movies when the husband returns home unexpectedly. The laughs crowd into the last 20 minutes. From there on “The Six-Sided Triangle” is sharp and deadly as Japanese illicit love is performed with grunts, barks, squeals and the belly-rumbling brand of Japanese dialogue, while everyone bows before dying. There is a priceless spoof of “Divorce Italian Style” with Sarah Miles wearing Sophia Loren’s smile and Gina Lollobrigida's bosom, while subtitles of sub-literate compositions follow a line like, “Let us declare our friendship” and one like, “Angel cake”. The same scenes in Sweden are a masterpiece of gloomy seduction, that ends with a joyless pair of lovers noisily eating their soup with doom laden slurping. For love in the French style Miss Miles lets down her hair into lascivious Bardo tresses, and the handheld camera makes a simple gesture of reaching for a cigarette into an excuse for a detailed tour of two bare torsos. The New Wave will recede in shame to see its own excesses so exposed. A splendid family affair" Alexander Walker - EVENING STANDARD

John Coleman the film critic of the New Statesman, interviewed Christopher Miles at BBC’s Talks Bush House in 1964 for a programme on new directors, who told him that in Sweden the film had become “The Five-Sided Triangle” as they had cut the Bergmanesque sequence parodying their national hero. Thirty years later the DOP David Watkin, was asked by Ingmar Bergman’s son Daniel to light a German Social Democrat campaign film, who laughed when David told him the story, and said that his father had seen the complete film and had laughed himself too.... so the Swedes do have a sense of humour!

When the film was shown on a 35mm projector for the last time at a special screening at the Little Theatre in Bath on 26th May 2016 to a packed house with Sarah and Christopher Miles present, the audience were very surprised to realise afterwards that Sarah does not speak a word throughout the whole film - showing the visual power of the film image when shown in its proper cinema setting. Even the critics 53 years before hadn’t noticed that.

title: Tre recombinase

abstract: Tre recombinase is an experimental enzyme that in lab tests has removed DNA inserted by HIV from infected cells. Through selective mutation, Cre recombinase which recognizes loxP sites are modified to identify HIV long terminal repeats (loxLTR) instead. As a result, instead of performing Cre-Lox recombination, the new enzyme performs recombination at HIV provirus sites. The structure of Tre in complex with loxLTR has been resolved, allowing for analyzing the roles of individual mutations.

# Transurethral incision of the prostate

**Transurethral incision of the prostate** (**TUIP** or **TIP**) is a surgical procedure for treating prostate gland enlargement (benign prostatic hyperplasia).

## Benefits

Transurethral incision of the prostate-—one or two small cuts in the prostate gland—can improve urine flow and correct other problems related to an enlarged prostate.

## Indications

Compared with other surgical procedures for prostate gland enlargement, TUIP is simpler and generally has fewer complications. However, TUIP can only be used when the prostate is relatively small.

title: Trabolgan

abstract: Trabolgan is a retired, Irish-bred, British-trained Thoroughbred racehorse who competed in National Hunt racing. In a racing career which was seriously disrupted by injuries and other health problems, he won five times from seventeen starts between December 2002 and March 2010. After showing promising, but unremarkable form in his early career he showed great improvement when switched to steeplechasing in the autumn of 2004. In March 2005 at Cheltenham Racecourse he won the Grade I Royal & SunAlliance Chase, one of the season's most prestigious races for Novice chasers. On his next appearance in November 2005, he won the Hennessy Cognac Gold Cup under the biggest weights carried to victory in the race for twenty years. At the time, he was regarded as one of the best steeplechasers in training, but he never won again: he missed the next three years with injury and failed to recover his form when returning to the track.

# Trabolgan

**Trabolgan** (foaled 1 June 1998) is a retired, Irish-bred, British-trained Thoroughbred racehorse who competed in National Hunt racing. In a racing career which was seriously disrupted by injuries and other health problems, he won five times from seventeen starts between December 2002 and March 2010. After showing promising, but unremarkable form in his early career he showed great improvement when switched to steeplechasing in the autumn of 2004. In March 2005 at Cheltenham Racecourse he won the Grade I Royal & SunAlliance Chase, one of the season's most prestigious races for Novice chasers.

At the time, he was regarded as one of the best steeplechasers in training, but he never won again: he missed the next three years with injury and failed to recover his form when returning to the track.

## Background

Trabolgan is a dark-coated bay gelding bred in Ireland by Michael Lysaght. He was sired by King's Ride who won the Lincoln Handicap in 1980 before becoming a successful National Hunt stallion. His other progeny included Mister Morose (Aintree Hurdle), King's Curate (Stayers' Hurdle) and Kings Road (Hennessy Cognac Gold Cup). His dam, Derrella, was an unraced mare who also produced Huka Lodge, the winner of seven National Hunt races between 2004 and 2009.

In November 1999, the yearling was sent to the Tattersalls Ireland sale and was bought for 49,000 guineas by the British Bloodstock Agency. He entered the ownership of Trevor Hemmings and was sent into training with Nicky Henderson in Upper Lambourne in Berkshire.

## Racing career

### 2002/2003 National Hunt season: National Hunt Flat races

Trabolgan began his racing career in National Hunt Flat races, also known as "bumpers" starting with an event at Uttoxeter Racecourse on 21 December, in which he was made 7/4 favourite and finished second, four lengths behind the winner, Plastic Paddy. After a break of two months, he returned in a similar event at Kempton Park Racecourse and started the 2/1 favourite against eighteen opponents. Ridden for the first time by Mick Fitzgerald he took the lead three furlongs from the finish but was caught in the closing stages and beaten a neck by Chelsea Bridge. Despite failing to win, the gelding was moved up sharply in class for the Grade I Champion Bumper on 12 March at the Cheltenham Festival. He started a 50/1 outsider and was ridden by Seamus Durack, with Fitzgerald partnering the Henderson stable's more fancied runner Back to Ben Alder. Trabolgan produced by far his best performance up to that time, moving up to challenge for the lead in the straight and finishing second by half a length to the Martin Pipe-trained favourite Liberman.

### 2003/2004 National Hunt season: Novice Hurdles

In the 2003/2004 season, Trabolgan competed in Novice hurdle races, beginning at Aintree Racecourse in November where he started 11/8 favourite but fell at the sixth flight. The gelding recorded his first win at his fifth attempt when he won a minor novice's hurdle over two and a half miles at Ascot Racecourse on 19 December, winning "comfortably" by seven lengths at odds of 1/2. At Newbury Racecourse in January, Trabolgan started 2/5 favourite for a similar event and won easily by eight lengths from Noplanofaction. After the race, Henderson described the winner as "a lovely horse, a gorgeous horse and is still only a baby" before indicating that he would aim him at the Royal & SunAlliance Hurdle at the Cheltenham Festival. Trabolgan started favourite for a Novice's Hurdle at Market Rasen in February but was pulled up by Fitzgerald after only three hurdles and did not race again that season.

### 2004/2005 National Hunt season: Novice Chases

Trabolgan began to compete in steeplechases in the following season, starting in a novices' event at Lingfield Park on 24 November. Fitzgerald moved the gelding up to dispute the lead three fences from the finish and Trabolgan drew clear of his opponents in the closing stages to win by two and a half lengths from Kadount. Trabolgan was then moved up in class and distance for the Grade I Feltham Novices' Chase over three miles at Kempton on Boxing Day. Over the last two fences, the nine-runner race developed into a struggle between Trabolgan and the 13/8 favourite Ollie Magern. Trabolgan overtook the favourite 150 yards from the finish, but Ollie Magern rallied to regain the lead in the final strides and won by a short head. Four weeks later, the gelding started favourite for a novices' chase at Haydock Park, but was no match for the French-bred Jazz d'Estruval, who won easily by nine lengths.

On 16 March, Trabolgan was ridden by Fitzgerald in the Grade I Royal & SunAlliance Chase over three miles at the Cheltenham Festival and started the 5/1 fourth choice in the betting behind Comply or Die, L'Ami (winner of the December Novices' Chase) and Cornish Rebel (younger brother of Best Mate). The other runners included the outstanding Irish mare Like-A-Butterfly. Trabolgan tracked Comply or Die for most of the race and recovered from a bad mistake at the second last fence to take the lead approaching the last. In the closing stages Trabolgan drew clear to win by three lengths from Comply or Die with Cornish Rebel a further three lengths back in third.

### 2005/2006 National Hunt season: Steeplechases

Trabolgan began his 2005/2006 campaign on 26 November in the Hennessy Gold Cup, a handicap race over three and a quarter miles at Newbury, in which he was matched against more experienced chasers. He was assigned top weight of 166 pounds (11 stone 12 pounds) and started at odds of 13/2 in a field of nineteen runners. Mick Fitzgerald, who was returning from a long absence after suffering a serious neck injury, positioned the gelding just behind the leaders and maintained his position despite two bad jumping mistakes before moving up to challenge for the lead four fences from the finish. Trabolgan took the lead at the second last fence, held off the challenge of L'Ami, and pulled clear in the closing stages to win by two and a half lengths. The horse had carried the highest weight to victory since Burrough Hill Lad more than twenty years previously: the only other horses to have carried a higher weight had been Arkle and Mill House in the 1960s. Henderson, who was winning the race for the first time said: "It's taken me 25 years to do it. Mick struggled to get back and to do that is special for everybody".

Following his victory at Newbury, Trabolgan was regarded as a leading contender for the 2006 Cheltenham Gold Cup and was expected to reappear in the King George VI Chase at Kempton on Boxing Day. Shortly after his win, however, the gelding became lame and scans revealed a tendon injury. It was hoped that he would return in time for the Gold Cup but the injury proved more serious and he was ruled out for the rest of the season. At the time, Henderson described the decision to rest the horse as "precautionary more than anything and luckily he is a young horse with half his career still ahead of him".

### Later career

Repeated injury problem meant that Trabolgan did not race again for more than three years. He returned as a ten-year-old, with Henderson expressing cautious optimism, but suffered from breathing problems and was unable to recover his old form. In December 2008 when he was pulled up two fences from the finish when tailed off in a handicap at Ascot. In his only other race that season he finished last of the six runners in the Levy Board Chase at Kempton in February.

Trabolgan ran three times without success in the 2009/2010 National Hunt season. He finished fourth in a handicap chase at Cheltenham in December when he jumped poorly and then unseated his rider, Barry Geraghty in a veterans' chase (restricted to horses of at least ten years of age) at Doncaster Racecourse in February. On 4 March he started favourite for a veterans' handicap at Newbury, but made several jumping errors and finished a distant fourth behind Eric's Charm.

On 23 March it was announced that Trabolgan would not race again and would be retired to Hemmings' property on the Isle of Man. Hemmings' racing manager said "We thought the sky was the limit after the Hennessy, but it was not to be. He's a beautiful horse and it was the obvious decision".

# Traboule

**Traboules** (from Latin *transambulare* via vulgar Latin *trabulare* meaning "to cross") are a type of secret covered passageways primarily associated with the city of Lyon, France, but also located in the French cities of Villefranche-sur-Saône, Mâcon, and Saint-Étienne, along with a few in Chambéry. In Lyon, they were originally used by silk manufacturers and other merchants to transport their products.

## Lyon

The first examples of traboules are thought to have been built in Lyon in the fourth century. Lacking water, the inhabitants moved to the banks of the Saône (in the 'lower town', at the foot of the Fourvière hill). The traboules thus allowed them to get from their homes to the river quickly and allowed the canuts on the La Croix-Rousse hill to get quickly from their workshops to the textile merchants at the foot of the hill. Thus the traboules of Lyon are located primarily in the 'old city' (5th arrondissement) and the Croix Rousse (1st and 4th arrondissements).

The "Traboule de la cour des Voraces" ("Traboule of the Voracious Court") is the most famous, located in the Croix-Rousse quarter. It is one of the landmarks of the Canut Revolts (*canut* is a local term for silk workers) and it is also the oldest reinforced concrete stairwell in Lyon.

The layout of Vieux Lyon is such that there are very few connecting streets running perpendicular to the river. The traboules allowed workmen and craftsmen to transport clothes and other textiles through the city while remaining sheltered from inclement weather. For many inhabitants, being a "true Lyonnais" requires being knowledgeable about the city's traboules. Nowadays, traboules are tourist attractions, and several are free and open to the public. Most traboules are on private property, serving as entrances to local apartments.

Many, if not most, of the underground passages have been blocked off and are currently used as storage areas. Other former traboules remain accessible to the public but can now only be reached through one of the two original entrances, due to the other entrance now being closed. These are sometimes referred to as *miraboules* (from *mirer*, "to stare"), as sightseers may still admire the internal courtyard spaces, despite no longer being able to use them as thoroughfares.

His son, Sir Kenelm Digby (1603–1665), was an English courtier, diplomat, natural philosopher and astrologer. He was born at Gayhurst.

Gayhurst had an outstation from the Bletchley Park codebreaking establishment, where one of the Bombes used to decode German Enigma messages in World War Two were housed.

### Listed buildings and structures

The parish has two buildings listed at Grade I, five at Grade II\* and 20 at grade II. The (Grade I listed) Church of St Peter was built in the classical style in 1728 to replace a medieval church; the designer is unknown.
