# Mill Valley (song)

"**Mill Valley**" is a song written and composed by American singer-songwriter and teacher Rita Abrams, and performed by her and the students in the third grade who were attending Strawberry Point Elementary School during the 1969–1970 school year, initially billed under **Miss Abrams and the Strawberry Point Third Grade Class.** Following the song's success, the label had requested that Abrams record an album with the class, which was named *Miss Abrams and the Strawberry Point 4th Grade Class*.

The song peaked at number 90 on the Billboard Hot 100, as well as number 5 in the adult contemporary chart.

## Background

In early 1970, Rita Abrams, a singer-songwriter who had then been teaching at Strawberry Point Elementary School in the city of Mill Valley, located in the U.S. state of California, had met record producer Erik Jacobsen, who requested and received a tape recording of "Mill Valley" after Abrams informed him of the song she had just written that past Christmas. While recording her kindergarten students singing the song in the school with the assistance of Tommy Heath, Abrams received feedback that the song was "unlistenable," so they later borrowed a third grade class and recorded the vocals professionally in Wally Heider Studios. Jacobsen eventually contacted Reprise Records around May, who put a rush release on the single.

## Chart performance

The song debuted at number 5 on *Billboard*'s Bubbling Under Hot 100 for the week ending July 11, 1970, and spent 3 weeks on that chart before debuting at number 92 on the Billboard Hot 100 for the week of August 1, where it spent another 3 weeks, peaking at number 90. "Mill Valley" also performed well on *Billboard's* adult contemporary chart, peaking at number 5.

## Reception and reviews

*Life* magazine covered the story, and Annie Leibovitz took photos of the class for *Rolling Stone*.

"Mill Valley" was described as an "off beat, delightful salute to the California locale," an "important chart item," and a "\[potential\] left field giant" by a writer for *Billboard* magazine, who furthermore compared it to Frank Sinatra's "High Hopes," likely due to its children's singing choir and similar song arrangement. A writer for *Record World* wrote of the track, "Cute as can be, here is a teacher and her class singing the praises of their town. All kids should have teachers like this."

Reviewer Greg Adams of AllMusic, called the song "enchanting," "heaping innocent charm," "well-crafted," saying of the song, "Only the most hard-hearted cynic could find no enjoyment in this minor masterpiece of early-'70s soft pop," going on to compare Abrams' "clear, pretty, girl-next-door voice" to Lynn Ahrens of *Schoolhouse Rock!*, Karen of The Carpenters, and the *Sesame Street* theme song.

Author Kim Simpson highlights the song's "soothing, innocent-sounding voices" and the "childlike simplicity of how it became a hit," and furthermore suggests that the song "stirred up a craving among American listeners for the voices of children," in her 2011 book *Early '70s Radio — The American Format Revolution,* while author Joyce Kleiner highlights the song's "sweet and sentimental lyrics" in her 2014 book *Legendary Locals of Mill Valley, California.*

## Aftermath and legacy

Later in 1970, the children in the class were invited to perform the national anthem for the San Francisco 49ers at Kezar Stadium. Kraft Foods' Jell-O would later offer them an opportunity to make a commercial, which Abrams rejected. Abrams also appeared on *To Tell the Truth*, and performed for The Steve Allen and Smothers Brothers shows at some point, but was unable to be accompanied by the children.

In 2010, the 40-year anniversary of the song, KQED interviewed Abrams and several of the former pupils about the song.

In 2015, Terry McGovern hosted an entire show around the song to celebrate its 45th anniversary, including an audio-visual component about the song and its history, with photos, interviews and videos. Later in the year on August 23, Abrams hosted a community event in Throckmorton Theatre for the same reason.

In 2020, the song's 50-year anniversary, Mill Valley City Council honored Abrams' work for bringing attention to the city across the nation and around the world. Also that year, Dr. Kimberly Berman, superintendent for the Mill Valley School District, hosted a virtual celebration of the song's anniversary, interviewing Abrams as well as a couple of the former third-grade students.

## Music video

On July 4, 1970, a music video, produced by Warner Brothers and directed by Francis Ford Coppola, was released.

# The Haunted Barn

***The Haunted Barn*** is a short 1931 Australian comedy film produced by F.W. Thring directed by Gregan McMahon. It was one of the first productions by Thring's Efftee Studios. The film was produced to support of the feature *Diggers* (1931) and shown on the same bill.

Thring's biographer later called the movie a "dog's breakfast" directed by two men "who could never have worked productively together".

## Plot

John Moon is a businessman interested in ghosts. He decides to spend the night in a barn hoping to see the ghost of the bushranger Sturdy who died there when betrayed to the police by his friend Rogan.

He is visited by two lovers, Ralph and Joan, seeking to elope, and worried about reprisals from Joan's father. Rose enters with a gun then leaves after demanding that no one leaves until dawn.

A man bursts in with the news that lunatics have escaped from the asylum and ten pounds per head is offered for their capture. A body appears which all are convinced is the ghost of Sturdy.

In the morning, Sturdy, Rose and Rogan confront each other. Sturdy explains he was not trying to kill Rogan but to get his permission to marry Rose, who is Sturdy's sister, and end a family feud. Rogan says he was the body, having fallen from the loft while hiding from Sturdy.

Dr Glass arrives to claim Ralph and Joan who are lunatics. Mr Moon's two friends arrive and claim they hired an actor to pretend to be a ghost for Moon.

Two tramps are left by themselves with Ralph's wallet which turns out to be stuffed with newspapers.

## Cast

* Donalda Warne as Joan
* John Maitland as Ralph
* Phil Smith as John Moon
* Ed Brett
* Thelma Scott
* George Edwards
* Royce Milton
* Ronald Atholwood
* John Cameron as Captain Sturdy
* Willie Driscoll
* Norman Shepherd
* Keith Desmond as swagman

## Production

The movie was part of Efftee's initial slate of productions.

Donalda Warne (1912-??) made her cinema debut in the film. Keith Desmond was a vaudeville star.

## Banning

The film was banned in Victoria for children between six and sixteen on the grounds that the sound of the wind in the film as well as the title of the film made the film too scary for children.

Thring appealed the decision and succeeded in having it overturned in November 1911.

## Release

The movie was released as a supporting feature for *Diggers*.

### Critical

The *Sun News* said "There is some good acting by Phil Smith. The rest of the cast is fairly competent, but has little chance to distinguish itself."

The *Herald* said "those who expected to receive an occult thrill and tingling of the blood from this picture were disappointed. The deepest mystery about it Is why the censor thought this mystery comedy should be banned."

The *Bulletin* said the film "has some amusing situations, the photography is up-to-date and the acting, especially that of Phil Smith, is excellent."

The trade paper *Everyone's* stated the film:

> Cannot befaulted on the score of sound and photography. There is, in fact, a surprising quality in that respect...The picture is an interesting and humorous story... Sound and lighting effects are excellent; and convincing performances are supplied by the entire cast. None of them looks ill at ease, or appears to suffer from camera scare.

### Box office

The film and *Diggers* proved very popular at the box office.

# Victoria Tereshchuk

**Victoria Anatoliïvna Tereshchuk** (*Терещук Вікторія Анатоліївна*; born 18 February 1982) is a female former modern pentathlete from Ukraine. A competitor since 1999 she was awarded a bronze medal in the women's modern pentathlon event at the 2008 Summer Olympics in Beijing but was subsequently stripped of the medal after a doping re-test. She was World Champion in the individual and mixed relay events in 2011. For her World Championship victories, she was named Ukrainian Sportswoman of the Year and received the Order of Princess Olga in the Second Class. She is also the 2008 European Champion and competed at the 2004 and 2012 Olympic modern pentathlon tournaments, where she finished seventh and twenty-third respectively.

## Personal life

Tereshchuk was born on 18 February 1982 in Luhansk, Ukraine. She took up modern pentathlon in 1999 and began competing out of ZS Luhansk, where she met her coach Sergey Turobov. Of all the constituent events of modern pentathlon, she considered swimming and the cross-country run to be her specialties and fencing, Turobov's specialty, to be her weakest. She married Turobov in 2005 and missed the 2009 season to have a son.

## International career

Tereshchuk participated in her first major international competition in August 2001 when she entered the Junior World Championships in Budapest, Hungary and placed 12th. Her first senior World Championship was the 2003 edition, held in Pesaro, Italy, where she finished 27th, and her first senior European Championship came the following month in Ústí nad Labem, Czech Republic, where she came in 34th. She earned her first podium finish in December when she came in second at a World Cup event, followed by her first victory at the Westel World Cup in May 2004. After coming in 6th at the World Championships later that month in Moscow, Russia, her next stop was the 2004 Summer Olympics, where she finished in 7th.

At the next three European Championships, Tereshchuk finished 30th, 18th, and 16th, and placed 12th at the 2005 World Championships in Warsaw, Poland. She claimed her first World Championship medal, silver, at the 2006 edition in Guatemala City, Guatemala, but then dropped to 34th and 26th the following year at the European and World Championships respectively. In 2008, she finished 23rd in the individual and 7th in the three-member team relay events at the 2008 World Championships in Budapest, but became the European Champion at a tournament held in Moscow. This led to her participation in the 2008 Summer Olympics, where she was awarded a bronze medal in the women's event, finishing behind Lena Schöneborn of Germany and Heather Fell of Great Britain. She was subsequently stripped of the medal after testing positive for the anabolic steroid turinabol in a doping re-test.

After missing the 2009 season to have a child, Tereshchuk returned in 2010 and finished second in that year's mixed relay event at the World Championships in Chengdu, China, in addition to placing 16th in the individual competition. In 2011, she came in third at the European Championships before winning three medals at the World Championships in Moscow: gold in the individual and mixed relay events and bronze in the three-member team relay. As World Champion, she qualified for the 2012 Summer Olympics, was named Ukrainian Sportswoman of the Year, and was awarded the Order of Princess Olga in the Second Class. At the 2012 World Championships in Rome, Italy, however, she failed to qualify for the finals and was eliminated before she was able to defend her individual title, also placing 5th in the mixed relay. In the Olympic tournament that year she finished 23rd in a field of 36 competitors.

# Hugo von Mohl

**Hugo von Mohl** FFRS HFRSE (8 April 1805  1 April 1872) was a German botanist from Stuttgart. He was the first person to use the word "protoplasm".

## Life

He was a son of the Württemberg statesman Benjamin Ferdinand von Mohl (1766–1845), the family being connected on both sides with the higher class of state officials of Württemberg. While a pupil at the gymnasium, he pursued botany and mineralogy in his leisure time, until in 1823 he entered the University of Tübingen. After graduating with distinction in medicine he went to Munich, where he met a distinguished circle of botanists, and found ample material for research.

This seems to have determined his career as a botanist, and he started in 1828 those anatomical investigations which continued until his death. In 1832 he was appointed professor of botany in Tübingen, a post which he never left. Unmarried, his pleasures were in his laboratory and library, and in perfecting optical apparatus and microscopic preparations, for which he showed extraordinary manual skill. He was largely a self-taught botanist from boyhood, and, little influenced in his opinions even by his teachers, preserved always his independence of view on scientific questions. He received many honours during his lifetime, and was elected foreign fellow of the Royal Society in 1868.

The process of cell division as observed under a microscope was first discovered by Hugo von Mohl in 1835 as he worked on green algae *Cladophora glomerata*.

Mohl's writings cover a period of forty-four years; the most notable of them were republished in 1845 in a volume entitled *Vermischte Schriften* (For lists of his works see *Botanische Zeitung*, 1872, p. 576, and *Royal Soc. Catalogue*, 1870, vol. iv.) They dealt with a variety of subjects, but chiefly with the structure of the higher forms, including both rough anatomy and minute histology. The word protoplasm was his suggestion; the nucleus had already been recognized by R. Brown and others; but Mohl showed in 1844 that the protoplasm is the source of those movements which at that time excited so much attention.

He recognized under the name of primordial utricle the protoplasmic lining of the vacuolated cell, and first described the behaviour of the protoplasm in cell division. These and other observations led to the overthrow of Schleiden's theory of origin of cells by free-cell-formation. His contributions to knowledge of the cell-wall were no less remarkable; he held the view now generally adopted of growth of cell-wall by apposition. He first explained the true nature of pits, and showed the cellular origin of vessels and of fibrous cells; he was, in fact, the true founder of the cell theory. Clearly the author of such researches was the man to collect into one volume the theory of cell-formation, and this he did in his treatise *Die vegetabilische Zelle* (1851), a short work translated into English (Ray Society, 1852).

Mohl's early investigations on the structure of palms, of cycads, and of tree ferns permanently laid the foundation of all later knowledge of this subject: so also his work on *Isoetes* (1840). His later anatomical work was chiefly on the stems of dicotyledons and gymnosperms; in his observations on cork and bark he first explained the formation and origin of different types of bark, and corrected errors relating to lenticels. Following on his early demonstration of the origin of stomata (1838), he wrote a classical paper on their opening and closing (1850).

In 1843 he started the weekly *Botanische Zeitung* in conjunction with Schlechtendal, which he edited jointly until his death. He was never a great writer of comprehensive works; no textbook exists in his name, and it would indeed appear from his withdrawal from co-operation in Hofmeister's *Handbuch* that he had a distaste for such efforts. In 1850, he was elected a foreign member of the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences. In his latter years his productive activity fell off, doubtless through failing health, and he died suddenly at Tübingen on 1 April 1872.

The standard author abbreviation Mohl is used to indicate this person as the author when citing a botanical name.

# Uttar Pradesh Revolutionary Socialist Party

The **Uttar Pradesh Revolutionary Socialist Party** (abbreviated **UP RSP**) was a left-wing political party in Uttar Pradesh, India 1951–1952. It held one seat in the Uttar Pradesh Legislative Assembly. The party ended up merging with the Communist Party of India.

## Split in RSP

The party was formed after a split in the Revolutionary Socialist Party. As of 1950, under the leadership of Jharkhande Rai, the Uttar Pradesh state unit of RSP had become pro-communist. In 1951 the national leadership of RSP declared the entire Uttar Pradesh branch expelled and its State Committee dissolved. The group of Rai then set up UP RSP as a separate party. The influence of the party was limited to a few pockets.

## 1951–52 elections

The party contested the elections in 1951 and 1952. It was awarded 'bow and arrow' as its election symbol. During the election campaign, UP RSP worked in alliance with the Communist Party of India and the Bolshevik Party of India.

In the 1951–52 Lok Sabha election the party contested two seats; Kunwar Maharaj Singh stood as the candidate in the Bahraich District (East) constituency and Lakshmi Shanker in the Ballia District South (West) constituency. Singh obtained 7,064 votes (7.36% of the votes in the constituency) whilst Shanker got 13,601 votes (11.61%). All in all, UP RSP got 0.12% of the votes in the state (and 0.02% of the votes nationwide). The party launched nine candidates in the 1951 Uttar Pradesh Legislative Assembly election. One candidate, Jharkhande Rai, won a seat. Rai won the Ghosi West seat, with 15,524 votes (47.95%). Two UP RSP candidates finished second in their respective seats; Udal got 7,587 votes (20.50%) in Banaras West and Kapildeo Singh got 8,267 votes (24.98%) in Rasra West. All other UP RSP candidates lost their deposits. In total the UP RSP candidates got 57,284 votes (0.34% of the votes in the state). The average percentage of votes of the UP RSP candidates in the constituencies contested stood at 14.32%.

## Merger with CPI

UP RSP merged with the Communist Party of India in 1952. The merger was formalized at a party conference in Mau, held 28–30 November 1952. Through the merger with UP RSP, the Communist Party obtained representation in the Uttar Pradesh Legislative Assembly.

abstract: The Uttar Pradesh Recovery of Damages to Public and Private Property Act, 2020 is a law in the Indian state of Uttar Pradesh that was promulgated by the state governor, Anandiben Patel, on 15 March 2020. It was passed by the Uttar Pradesh Legislative Assembly on 22 August 2020. The Act aims at "recovery of damage to public or private property during hartal, bandhs, riots, protests etc through those accused through claim tribunals with no judicial review by any other court. Deviating from the normal legal process in India wherein the burden of proof lies on the accuser, this ordinance expects the accused to present evidence of innocence from alleged crimes, on account of simply them being named as accused. The Supreme Court of India had said in 2007 that a "strong law" was needed to deal with the damage to property during political protests. Following the CAA protests in UP, the state government has been finding ways to clamp down on the protesters and recover damages to public property. It has been challenged in Allahabad High Court.

By default, Photo Booth's live preview and captured images are reversed horizontally, to simulate the user looking into a mirror; an option provides unreversed images.

## History

Photo Booth was first introduced by Apple in 2005 with the release of iMac G5, which featured a built-in iSight camera. The app was later introduced on iPad devices with the release of iPad 2 in March 2011.

Since its initial release, Photo Booth has received several updates and new features. Notable updates include:

* Additional Effects: Apple has added new filters and effects to the app, such as Space Alien, Blockhead, Dizzy, and Lovestruck, among others.
* Sharing Features: In 2012, Apple added new sharing features to Photo Booth, allowing users to share photos and videos to social media sites such as Facebook, Twitter, and Flickr.

## Post-processing

After the picture is taken effects can be applied by clicking on the "Effects" button. Photo Booth has two sets of image effects that can be applied when taking a picture. The first set contains photographic filters similar to those in Adobe Photoshop; additional effects may be downloaded from websites. Another set allows replacing the background with a custom backdrop.

### Backgrounds

From Mac OS X 10.5 Leopard to macOS 10.15 Catalina, the user could apply backdrops to provide an effect similar to a green screen. When a backdrop was selected, a message appeared telling the user to step away from the camera. Once the background was analyzed, the user stepped back in front of the camera and was shown in front of the chosen backdrop.

# The Interlace

**The Interlace** is a 1,040-unit apartment building complex located at the boundary between Bukit Merah and Queenstown, Singapore. Noteworthy for its break from the typical tower design in cities with high population densities, it resembles Jenga blocks irregularly stacked upon each other. Designed by The Office for Metropolitan Architecture (OMA), it was awarded the *World Building of the Year* title at the 2015 World Architecture Festival.

The 170,000 square meters Interlace complex sits on 8 hectares of land, at the corner of Depot Road and Alexandra Road. It has 31 residential blocks with units ranging in size from 800 square feet to 6,300 square feet for the penthouses at the top of each blocks. Recreational facilities include swimming pools, a gym, and tennis courts.

## History

The Interlace's site formerly housed the 607 units Gillman Heights Condominium, which is 50 percent owned by the National University of Singapore (NUS). The property was subsequently sold to CapitaLand through a collective sale but the sale was controversial as NUS held a 16 percent stake in Ankerite, a private fund that was a subsidiary of CapitaLand.

The Interlace was designed by Ole Scheeren and the architecture firm OMA. The project architects who followed the project through to completion while resolving design and compliance issues were RSP Architects Planners & Engineers. The project was commissioned in 2007 and finished in 2013. The property has a 99 year lease from the Singapore government since 2009. The property is surrounded by several parks that are connected and promote the Singapore Green initiative of 2012.

## Architecture

Interlace consists of six storey blocks staggered in a hexagonal arrangements surrounding eight courtyards. The blocks are stacked four high at the center to provide maximum of 24 floors. This provides almost every home with a wide view of the surrounding areas. The courtyards have swimming pools.

## Reception

The architecture community have praised the Interlace. ArchDaily said "incorporates sustainability features through careful environmental analysis of sun, wind, and micro-climate conditions on site and the integration of low-impact passive energy strategies."

The Interlace won the World Building of the Year for 2015. It has been viewed as a challenge to traditional architecture not just in Singapore, but all over the world by CNBC. Geoffrey Montes, writing for *Architectural Digest*, described the building as "striking residential complex." Raskin praises Scheeren's design by saying "Architect Ole Scheeren hypothesized that dense urban residential living didn't have to occur in an isolating skyscraper--and he was right". Interlace won the Urban Habitat Award in 2014.

title: The Guns of Navarone (novel)

abstract: The Guns of Navarone is a 1957 novel about the Second World War by Scottish writer Alistair MacLean that was made into the film The Guns of Navarone in 1961. The story concerns the efforts of an Allied commando team to destroy a seemingly impregnable German fortress that threatens Allied naval ships in the Aegean Sea and prevents over 1,200 isolated British Army soldiers from being rescued. The Greek island of Navarone does not exist and the plot is fictional, but the story takes place within the real historical context of the 1943 Dodecanese campaign. The Guns of Navarone brings together elements that would characterise much of MacLean's subsequent works: tough, competent, worldly men as main characters; frequent but non-graphic violence; betrayal of the hero(es) by a trusted associate; and extensive use of the sea and other dangerous environments as settings. Its three principal characters – New Zealand mountaineer-turned-commando Keith Mallory, American demolitions expert "Dusty" Miller, and Greek resistance fighter Andrea – are among the most fully drawn in all of MacLean's work.

Its three principal characters – New Zealand mountaineer-turned-commando Keith Mallory, American demolitions expert "Dusty" Miller, and Greek resistance fighter Andrea – are among the most fully drawn in all of MacLean's work.

## Historical background

The Greek island of Navarone does not exist and the plot is fictional, but the story takes place within the real historical context of the Dodecanese Campaign, the Allies' campaign to capture the Italian-held Greek islands in the Aegean Sea in 1943. In particular, the Battle of Leros and coastal artillery on island of Leros provide inspiration for the novel. Sited on the island were 11 152mm/6 inch (an intermediate calibre) coastal artillery guns, along with a number of smaller guns. The guns had been manufactured and used by the Italians, and were captured with the island after the surrender of the British and Italian defenders; the guns were used by the Germans for the rest of the war.

## Plot

The island of Navarone, off the Turkish coast, has been heavily fortified as the Germans attempt to stifle British naval activity in the Aegean. A force of 1200 British soldiers is now marooned on the nearby island of Kheros (another variation of the island Keros, which is situated to the west of Amorgos) and the Royal Navy is planning to send ships to rescue them. The heavy radar-controlled guns command the only deepwater channel that ships can use and must be silenced at all costs.

Commando attacks have failed and after a bombardment by B-24 Liberator bombers fails to destroy the guns, Captain James Jensen RN, Chief of Operations for SOE in Cairo, decides to launch a desperate last-ditch attempt which he has already planned in case the bombing is unsuccessful. He has drawn together a team of specialist saboteurs to infiltrate the island via the "unclimbable" south cliff and get into the fortress to destroy the guns. They have less than one week.

The team meet for the first time in Alexandria. They comprise:

* Captain Keith Mallory – a New Zealand officer with the Long Range Desert Group (LRDG). Mallory was a pre-war mountain climber, nicknamed "The Human Fly". He has been operating in the mountains of German-held Crete.
* Andrea – a former Lt. Colonel in the Greek army, a ruthless fighter and close friend and confidante of Mallory.
* Corporal Dusty Miller – an American explosives expert who transferred from the R.A.F. to the LRDG. Miller is described as a stringy, cynical man who doubts their chances of success.
* Petty Officer Telegraphist Casey Brown – a Royal Navy engineer and veteran of the Special Boat Service. He is a native of Clydeside and worked as a testing and installation engineer pre-war.
* Lt Andrew Stevens R.N.V.R. – Stevens is a young naval officer chosen as navigator. Like Mallory, he speaks fluent Greek and is an experienced mountaineer but considers himself an abject coward.

The team travel via MTB and plane to Castelrosso, a British-held island. Here, they discover an eavesdropper, Nicolai the base laundry boy, who allegedly speaks no English but is spying on them anyway. They demand that he be arrested and held incommunicado, but the story implies that this does not happen.

In an ancient *caïque* they sail towards Navarone. They carry papers identifying themselves as collaborators with, and couriers for, the German commandant of the island. They are intercepted by a German patrol boat, which appears to be expecting them. They sink it and kill all the crew.

They are wrecked in a storm but manage to land on the island, having lost much of their equipment. They climb the 'unclimbable' south cliff, but Stevens slips and is badly injured.

Evading German guards, they travel through heavy snow and rough terrain and are met by Louki, the steward of the exiled owner of the island, and Panayis, his enigmatic friend. They bring much needed food. By radio, Jensen tells the team that they have less time than was planned for. The ships are coming through that very night. But whilst resting in a cave, they are captured by a troop of German specialist mountain soldiers led by Oberleutnant Turzig, who recognises Mallory as a famous climber. They are taken to the town of Margaritha where they are ruthlessly interrogated by Hauptmann Skoda. Thanks to Andrea's diversionary behaviour, they turn the tables on them and Skoda is shot. With Turzig and the others securely tied up, they escape and make their way to the town of Navarone. They are harassed by troops and planes who are also apparently expecting them.

With no medical facilities available, Stevens is clearly dying and beyond help. He asks to be left behind and feels curiously at peace. Miller discovers that much of his equipment has been damaged. Suspicion falls on Panayis, who is also suspected of being a double agent. He admits nothing, but the evidence (all but one of his injuries are fake) is damning. Miller shoots him.

Mallory and Miller manage to enter the fortress housing the guns, whilst the others create a diversion. They set the explosives and then get out to meet the others. They steal a boat and rendezvous with the destroyer *HMS Sirdar*, which is leading two others through the deepwater channel. Just in time, the explosives do their work, the guns are destroyed and the ships continue on their way to rescue the soldiers.

## Literary significance

In 1990 the British Crime Writers' Association placed *The Guns of Navarone* 89th on its list The Top 100 Crime Novels of All Time.

The success of the book's film adaptation prompted Alistair MacLean to write the only sequel of his writing career, *Force 10 from Navarone* (1968). However, in areas where they differ, this is a sequel to the film, not the book.

The name of *The Guns of Avalon*, a fantasy novel by writer Roger Zelazny, is considered a tongue-in cheek reference to MacLean's similarly titled novel. In addition to sounding alike, both Avalon and Navarone are fictional islands.

## Adaptations

### Film

Carl Foreman wrote and produced a 1961 film adaptation.

### Radio

In 1997, BBC Radio 2 produced a two-hour adaptation for radio written by Bert Coules and directed by Patrick Rayner. The cast included:

### Audiobook

*The Guns of Navarone* was also produced as an abridged audiobook with Patrick Allen narrating. Steven Pacey performed the unabridged version for Harper Audio.

## Sequels

Author Sam Llewellyn wrote two authorised sequels during the 1990s, *Storm Force from Navarone* and *Thunderbolt from Navarone*. These both featured Maclean's three heroes Mallory, Miller and Andrea along with Commander Jensen, R.N.

title: The Joe Blow Show

It starred Rebecca Northan, Paul O'Sullivan, Debra McGrath, Lisa Merchant and Peter Oldring as the members of the Grass Roots Theate Collective, an amateur theatre troupe preparing to stage a musical based on the lives of a couple they had discovered shopping at Honest Ed's. The special had been conceived as a potential pilot for a television series, although it was not picked up. It was created by O'Sullivan and his wife, Linda Kash, although she did not appear in the special as an actor. Vinay Menon of the Toronto Star reviewed the special positively, writing that "It's perplexing to note The Joe Blow Show is only a one-time special. The Comedy Network could still green-light a series, mind you; it's waiting to gauge reaction to the first effort. This may be fiscally responsible, especially in these times, but it also reflects a skittish, almost cowardly quality that plagues the industry." Joel Rubinoff of the Waterloo Region Record was more dismissive, writing that "it's like watching a karaoke version of the film Waiting for Guffman, with elements of Best in Show and This Is Spinal Tap thrown in for good measure. With no artistic muse of its own, and a bad case of hero worship, Joe Blow is to mockumentaries what Ben Mulroney is to TV hosts: earnest, committed -- and so bland even its edges seem phony." The cast received a Gemini Award nomination for Ensemble Performance in a Comedy Program or Series at the 19th Gemini Awards in 2004.

(A TV network really should know when it has something good. It shouldn't wait to be told.)" Joel Rubinoff of the *Waterloo Region Record* was more dismissive, writing that "it's like watching a karaoke version of the film *Waiting for Guffman* (about, interestingly, the exact same thing), with elements of *Best in Show* and *This Is Spinal Tap* thrown in for good measure. With no artistic muse of its own, and a bad case of hero worship, Joe Blow is to mockumentaries what Ben Mulroney is to TV hosts: earnest, committed -- and so bland even its edges seem phony."

The cast received a Gemini Award nomination for Ensemble Performance in a Comedy Program or Series at the 19th Gemini Awards in 2004.

# The Jocks and the Geordies

***The Jocks and the Geordies*** was a British comic strip which appeared in the magazine *The Dandy* and was drawn by Jimmy Hughes. It ran from 1975 to 1990, when artist Jimmy Hughes retired, with occasional appearances after that date.

## Concept

The strip was about two groups of five schoolboys living in the village of Crosspatch, crossing the border of Scotland and England. As a result, they were in constant battles with one another, with each in turn getting their comeuppance for pranks which were often quite violent. Often both sets of boys would be in trouble from their teachers (Mr McAllistair and Mr Bigglesthwaite) at the end, both of whom despaired of the rivalry and would frequently administer the cane (the belt in the case of the Jocks). The Geordies generally got the upper hand as they tended to use cunning, whereas the Jocks relied entirely upon brute force.

The Jocks (Scottish boys) wore various tartan jumpers and tam o'shanter caps, which were so absurdly large that their wearers' eyes were rarely visible. Their names were Big Jock (the leader), Wee Eck, Hector, Angus and Sandy. The Geordies (North East England boys) wore tiny caps and almost identical dark school uniforms; some of their socks were ridiculously tight, making their shins look pencil thin. The names of the Geordies were not always consistent: the fifth Geordie was referred to as 'Sidney' in the 1979 *Dandy* annual but this name was later given to the leader of the Geordies. The second and fourth Geordies have been referred to as Specky and Lofty respectively, but these names were not used regularly. In the late 1980s, the names of each character appeared under a 'mugshot' and they were Sidney, Percy, Arnold, Cedric and Egbert.

Guided by the importance of cell-autonomous immunity as the sole defender of unicellular organisms, Randow has made contributions to the understanding of host-pathogen interactions. He is an EMBO member, a Wellcome Trust investigator and a Fellow of the Academy of Medical Sciences.

## Education

Randow grew up in Germany, where he was educated at Goetheschule in Pritzwalk and Humbold-University in Berlin. He obtained his PhD (Dr. rer. nat.) in 1997 under the guidance of Hans-Dieter Volk.

## Career and Research

Between 1997 and 2002, Randow undertook postdoctoral research in the laboratory of Brian Seed at Harvard Medical School. In 2003, he became group leader at the MRC Laboratory of Molecular Biology in Cambridge. His work revealed novel principles of cell-autonomous immunity in human tissues, namely that human cells activate anti-bacterial autophagy when sensing endomembrane damage and that cells convert cytosol-invading bacteria into antibacterial signalling platforms by coating the bacterial surface with specific host proteins.

Randow's work has provided important insights into the mechanism of antibacterial autophagy. He discovered a new pathway of cell-autonomous defence relying on galectin-8 as the receptor for membrane damage caused by cytosol-invading bacteria, NDP52 as the first anti-bacterial autophagy receptor, and TBK1 as specifying the sites of anti-bacterial autophagy. Because the galectin-8 pathway detects membrane damage rather than the invading pathogen *per se*, its importance likely reaches well beyond anti-bacterial defence, including protection against viruses and tauopathies.

Randow's discovery of the E3 ubiquitin ligase LUBAC attaching M1-linked ubiquitin chains directly onto cytosol-invading bacteria, thereby activating NF-κB and autophagy, revealed another novel concept of cell-autonomous immunity, namely that cells transform bacteria into pro-inflammatory and anti-bacterial signalling platforms by coating their surface with ubiquitin. His recent demonstration of guanylate-binding proteins (GBPs) encapsulating cytosolic bacteria, thereby preventing the infection of neighbouring cells, revealed that host cells generate a distinct variety of polyvalent protein coats on cytosolic bacteria as a means to antagonize bacteria and strengthen the host defence.

## Early life and career

After high school, Weinberg served as a Bundeswehr soldier from 1987 to 1991. Afterwards he studied History at the University of Hamburg. From 2001 to 2007 Weinberg was a teacher in Wilhelmsburg.

## Political career

Weinberg was a member of Hamburgische Bürgerschaft, the parliament of Hamburg, from 2001 to 2005. From 2011 to 2015 he also served as chairman of CDU Hamburg. He resigned from that position after his party scored its lowest result in history in the 2015 state elections.

Weinberg became a Member of the German Bundestag in the 2005 elections. Between 2005 and 2013, he was a member of the Committee on Education, Research and Technology Assessment. In this capacity, he was his parliamentary group's rapporteur on the validation of foreign studies and degrees. From 2009 to 2021, he served on the Committee on Family Affairs, Senior Citizens, Women and Youth.

In the negotiations to form a *Grand Coalition* of Chancellor Angela Merkel's Christian Democrats (CDU together with the Bavarian CSU) and the Social Democrats following the 2013 federal elections, Weinberg was part of the CDU/CSU delegation in the working group on education and research policy, led by Johanna Wanka and Doris Ahnen.

## Life after politics

Since 2022, Weinberg has been a partner in the Hamburg-based communications agency Guru.

## Other activities

* Bundesstiftung Mutter und Kind, Deputy Chairman of the Board of Trustees
* Jürgen Echternach Foundation, Chairman of the Board (since 2015)
* Federal Agency for Civic Education (BpB), Member of the Board of Trustees (2006–2021)
* Frischluft e.V., Member of the Board of Trustees (since 2005)

## Political positions

In June 2017, Weinberg voted against his parliamentary group's majority and in favor of Germany's introduction of same-sex marriage.

Ahead of the Christian Democrats’ leadership election in 2018, Weinberg publicly endorsed Annegret Kramp-Karrenbauer to succeed Angela Merkel as the party's chair. He later expressed support for Jens Spahn but eventually endorsed Norbert Röttgen as Kramp-Karrenbauer's successor at the party's 2021 leadership election.

## Personal life

Weinberg is unmarried and has one son.
