# Villa La Pietra

**Villa La Pietra** is a renaissance villa in the hills outside Florence, in Tuscany in central Italy. It was formerly the home of Arthur Acton and later of his son Harold Acton, on whose death in 1994 it was bequeathed to New York University. The villa is now home to NYU Florence.

## History

Villa La Pietra was bought and somewhat modified in the 1460s by the Florentine banker Francesco Sassetti. In 1545 or 1546 it was sold to the Capponi family. The villa was given its present form in the seventeenth century by the cardinal Luigi Capponi, possibly with the assistance of Carlo Fontana. During the brief period from 1865 to 1871 when Florence was capital of the Kingdom of Italy, the villa was used as the embassy of Prussia.

In 1903 Arthur Acton, an Anglo-Neapolitan art dealer, rented it after his marriage to Hortense Mitchell, the daughter of John J. Mitchell a banker from Chicago, Illinois. With money from her family, the couple bought the villa in 1907.

The villa contains the art collection assembled by the Actons, which reflects twentieth-century Anglo-American taste. It is used for didactic purposes by New York University. The collection includes works from the circle of Giotto, Romanesque sculptures, a relief of the *Virgin and Child* by Donatello, and fifteenth-century tapestries made for the de' Medici family.

Between 1905 and 1930 the gardens of the villa were substantially altered by the Actons, only the walled lemon garden to the north-west of the villa remaining mostly unchanged since the time of Luigi Capponi. The Actons laid out a formal Baroque Italian garden with extensive stonework, including almost two hundred statues, many of them by the Venetian sculptors Orazio Marinali and Antonio Bonazza, brought to Florence from the villas of the Brenta. The gardens were restored in the early years of the twenty-first century.

title: Northern long-tailed woodcreeper

abstract: The northern long-tailed woodcreeper is a species of bird in subfamily Dendrocolaptinae of the ovenbird family Furnariidae. It is found in Brazil, French Guiana, Guyana, and Suriname.

text:
# Northern long-tailed woodcreeper

The **northern long-tailed woodcreeper** (***Deconychura longicauda***) is a species of bird in subfamily Dendrocolaptinae of the ovenbird family Furnariidae. It is found in Brazil, French Guiana, Guyana, and Suriname.

## Taxonomy and systematics

The northern long-tailed woodcreeper was formerly considered to be part of the former long-tailed woodcreeper (the original *Deconychura longicauda*) with what are now the little long-tailed woodcreeper (*D. typica*) and the southern long-tailed woodcreeper (*D. pallida*). BirdLife International's *Handbook of the Birds of the World* (HBW) has treated them separately since the 2010s, and the International Ornithological Committee (IOC) followed suit in July 2023. However, the North American and South American Classification Committees of the American Ornithological Society and the Clements taxonomy treat the long-tailed woodcreeper as one species. The AOS notes that it probably consists of at least two and possibly three species.

The northern long-tailed woodcreeper is monotypic.

## Description

The northern long-tailed woodcreeper is a medium-sized member of its subfamily, with a slim body, long wings and tail, and a slim medium-length straight bill. It is 16 to 21 cm (6.3 to 8.3 in) long and weighs about 22 to 36 g (0.78 to 1.3 oz). Males are longer and heavier than females, and both length and weight vary among the subspecies. The plumages of males and females are alike. Adults are mostly olive-brown with a darker crown and nape that have fine buff streaks. Their lores and supercilium are whitish to rich buffy. Their wings, uppertail coverts, and tail are rufous-chestnut; their primaries have dusky tips. Their throat varies from whitish buff to ochraceous, their breast is olive-brown with buff streaks, their belly and flanks are plain olive-brown, and their undertail coverts are rufous. Their underwing coverts and the underside of the flight feathers are cinnamon rufous. Their iris is brown, their bill has a brownish maxilla and bluish mandible, and their legs and feet are brown. Juveniles are very similar to adults, with a slightly darker head and fewer pale streaks on the breast.

## Distribution

The northern long-tailed woodcreeper is found in the Guianas and in northern Brazil north of the Amazon River and east of the Rio Negro. It inhabits a variety of forested landscapes where it favors the interior of humid primary forest. It does occur at the forest edges and in mature secondary forest. It is mostly found in *terra firme* and várzea forest up to about 500 m (1,600 ft).

## Behavior

### Movement

The northern long-tailed woodcreeper is a year-round resident throughout its range.

### Feeding

The northern long-tailed woodcreeper mostly forages from the understory to the canopy, about 3 to 20 m (10 to 66 ft) above the ground. It forages singly, in pairs, and in mixed-species feeding flocks; the composition of the last varies. It hitches up trunks and vines, mostly picking or gleaning its prey but sometimes making short sallies to capture it in the air. Its diet is not known in detail but is mostly arthropods, and it seems to favor adults rather than including significant numbers of larvae.

### Breeding

Almost nothing is known about the northern long-tailed woodcreeper's breeding biology. The scant evidence indicates that its breeding season varies geographically.

### Vocalization

The northern long-tailed woodcreeper's song is "a high, distinctly descending, clear, rather plaintive 'pee-pue-tue-tuh---' ". The species can sing at any time of day, though it is most heard in early morning and late afternoon. It does not sing continuously. Playback of the local song elicits a strong response, so the song "likely has a territorial function".

## Status

The IUCN has assessed the northern long-tailed woodcreeper as being of Least Concern. It has a fairly large range but its population size is not known and is believed to be decreasing. Habitat modification and fragmentation for agriculture and ranching is cited as a threat. It is considered fairly common to common in much of its range but rare in Suriname. It occurs in several protected areas. "It appears to be highly sensitive to habitat modification and requires nearly continuous forest to persist."

## Release

After premiering at the 2024 SXSW Film Festival, the documentary later screened at the Hot Docs Canadian International Documentary Festival, Melbourne International Film Festival, Vancouver International Film Festival, Hamptons International Film Festival, and the closing night film of the newportFilm Outdoor Festival, winning a number of film festival awards during its run.

## Critical response

*Secret Mall Apartment* has been widely praised upon its release. It has a 100% positive rating on Rotten Tomatoes, based on 18 reviews.

Brian Farvour of The Playlist stated that "art and rebellion collide in this unique time capsule.". Coleman Spilde of The Daily Beast stated that "director Jeremy Workman sews together a larger narrative that, at times, becomes unexpectedly moving." Brian Tallerico of RogerEbert.com stated that "the Secret Mall Apartment led to the kind of environment where creatives inspire other creatives to be their best selves". Alex Hudson of Exclaim! stated that "'Secret Mall Apartment' turns a childlike fantasy into a commentary on capitalism." Michael Nordine of *Variety* gave the film a mixed positive review, writing that the film "is a thoughtful celebration of the DIY artistry behind that experiment, but only a so-so investigation of it."

For *Point of View*, Susan G. Cole wrote that "If this was act of resistance, wouldn’t it have been useful for the forces you’re fighting to know what you were doing? Who benefits, actually? And if nobody can see this clever installation, is it art? Like any fascinating meditation on the meaning of art and its potential as a political force, Workman’s doc asks more questions than it answers, which is a very good thing."

Some include the official study guide from Penguin Group for Khaled Hosseini's novel, *A Thousand Splendid Suns*.

The China International Television Corporation have used the documentary to explore and better understand the culture of Afghanistan to conduct their videoconferencing on Afghanistan.

The Center for Afghanistan Studies and Academy of International Studies of the Jamia Millia Islamia university held screenings and discussions on the film.

Afghan critics and scholars have hailed the film for being neutral to the political and tribal issues while other documentaries often take sides. Wasef Bakhtari, renowned poet and historian has commented on the ability of the director to speak both Pashtu and Dari natively, while also communicating perfectly in English. Other publications covering the film and the filmmakers include a through interview in *Peyk* magazine.

Many publications have reviewed and discussed the film thoroughly, mostly in Afghanistan, but also some in the west. *Cine Source* mentions *16 Days in Afghanistan* as one of the two distinguished documentaries made in Afghanistan after the Taliban era. Another states that the film has something for everyone. One publication discusses the film in comparison to more recent film, the Raindance-selected *Where My Heart Beats*.

In 2009, *16 Days in Afghanistan* opened a two-day film festival on Afghanistan in India sponsored by the Embassy of Afghanistan, India Habitat Centre and Nelson Mandela Centre for Peace and Conflict Resolution. Other films in the series were *The Beauty Academy of Kabul*, *The Afghan Chronicles*, *Beyond Belief* and the recent Sundance selection, *Afghan Star*.

The EP A&R by DJ Scrap Dirty (Violator Allstar DJs) serves as a prelude to the album which was released on July 27, 2010.

# 10.000 Watts of Artificial Pleasures

***10,000 Watts of Artificial Pleasures*** (often stylized as ***10.000 Watts of Artificial Pleasures***) is the debut EP, as well as the very first project by Italian industrial rock band Dope Stars Inc. It was released periodically throughout 2003. Being self-produced and distributed, the band created a street team to sell copies of the album in order to get the attention of labels for future projects. Copies of the EP sold out quickly and boosted the band's reputation into gaining a record deal with Trisol Music Group.

## Background

Upon forming the band, Victor Love began recording an EP for their new band. Grace, Brian and Darin joined just after to assist with the demo. It was recorded in Rome, Italy, inside a basement the band had used in practices. *10.000 Watts* was written and recorded in early May 2003 and was finished within a few weeks. Initially, the band had wanted to spend more time on mixing and perfecting the album but felt that the version they had was surprisingly satisfying for them so they chose to release it immediately. Commenting on the recording and release of the EP, Victor Love has stated that "we decided to release it as soon as possible without spending time on further arrangements and fixes on the production side. The result was a really dirty EP with a lot of passion and roughness. And I believe it has been the key of its success too, the reason why we received suddenly a very big feedback from media and people. It was really independent and genuine -- really *rock'n'roll*."

The demo was first shipped to media reviewers and magazines in mid-2003. Soon after, the album went on sale on the band's online store and had a limited release of a CD that had been professionally pressed by the band. A street team, Theta Division Corp., was set up to sell the EP and spread the word to others. Using this method of distribution rather than a label allowed them to recoup every bit of money they spent producing it themselves. Victor Love also said they didn't want a label for their first project because "any label will never care about you if they didn't hear your name somewhere else." Weeks after release, the band had sold out of all copies of the CD. Instead of reprinting more, the band re-recorded every track except the Billy Idol cover "*Shock to the System*" for their full debut album.

Following the release of *10,000 Watts*, Dope Stars Inc. immediately signed a record deal with Trisol Music Group to produce two albums. From 2005–2006, the band released the albums, *Neuromance* and *Gigahearts*, both of which received positive reviews from critics.

## Critical reception

| Review scores | |

| Source | Rating |
| *Alunos* | 7/10 |
| *Metal.de* | 6/10 |
| *Alternation* | 75% |

Despite not being published by a label as well as being a debut project by a band, *10.000 Watts* has received many reviews from critics. Overall, the reviews for the album were mixed. David Butler Manning wrote a review for *Alunos* that gave the album a 7/10. Butler felt that Dope Stars were heavily influenced by Deathstars and Marilyn Manson, going as far to say "you'd be hard pressed to tell one band from another." He felt that every track except "Generation Plastic" was catchy and well written. Another review from *Alternation* gave the album a 75% rating citing that "the musicians couldn't make up their minds as to the amount of electronics they should include in their tracks." Still, the reviewer felt it was a good album with a punk style. He did feel that the low sound quality of the album was an issue but it was a good start for the band.

title: Sorafenib

abstract: Sorafenib, sold under the brand name Nexavar, is a kinase inhibitor drug approved for the treatment of primary kidney cancer, advanced primary liver cancer, FLT3-ITD positive AML and radioactive iodine resistant advanced thyroid carcinoma.

text:
# Sorafenib

**Sorafenib**, sold under the brand name **Nexavar**, is a kinase inhibitor drug approved for the treatment of primary kidney cancer (advanced renal cell carcinoma), advanced primary liver cancer (hepatocellular carcinoma), FLT3-ITD positive AML and radioactive iodine resistant advanced thyroid carcinoma.

## Mechanism of action

Sorafenib is a protein kinase inhibitor with activity against many protein kinases, including VEGFR, PDGFR and RAF kinases. Of the RAF kinases, sorafenib is more selective for c-Raf than B-RAF. (See BRAF (gene)#Sorafenib for details the drug's interaction with B-Raf.)

Sorafenib treatment induces autophagy, which may suppress tumor growth. Based on its 1,3-disubstituted urea structure, sorafenib is also a potent soluble epoxide hydrolase inhibitor and this activity likely reduces the severity of its adverse effects.

## Medical uses

Sorafenib is indicated as a treatment for advanced renal cell carcinoma (RCC), unresectable hepatocellular carcinomas (HCC) and thyroid cancer.

### Kidney cancer

Clinical trial results, published January 2007, showed that, compared with placebo, treatment with sorafenib prolongs progression-free survival in patients with advanced clear cell renal cell carcinoma in whom previous therapy has failed. The median progression-free survival was 5.5 months in the sorafenib group and 2.8 months in the placebo group (hazard ratio for disease progression in the sorafenib group, 0.44; 95% confidence interval \[CI\], 0.35 to 0.55; P\<0.01).

In Australia this is one of two TGA-labelled indications for sorafenib, although it is not listed on the Pharmaceutical Benefits Scheme for this indication.

### Liver cancer

At ASCO 2007, results from the SHARP trial were presented, which showed efficacy of sorafenib in hepatocellular carcinoma. The primary endpoint was median overall survival, which showed a 44% improvement in patients who received sorafenib compared to placebo (hazard ratio 0.69; 95% CI, 0.55 to 0.87; p=0.0001). Both median survival and time to progression showed 3-month improvements; however, there was no significant difference in median time to symptomatic progression (*p*=0.77). There was no difference in quality of life measures, possibly attributable to toxicity of sorafenib or symptoms related to underlying progression of liver disease. Of note, this trial only included patients with Child-Pugh Class A (i.e. mildest) cirrhosis. Because of this trial sorafenib obtained FDA approval for the treatment of advanced hepatocellular carcinoma in November 2007.

In a randomized, double-blind, phase II trial combining sorafenib with doxorubicin, the median time to progression was not significantly delayed compared with doxorubicin alone in patients with advanced hepatocellular carcinoma. Median durations of overall survival and progression-free survival were significantly longer in patients receiving sorafenib plus doxorubicin than in those receiving doxorubicin alone.

A prospective single-centre phase II study which included the patients with unresectable hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) concluding that the combination of sorafenib and DEB-TACE in patients with unresectable HCC is well tolerated and safe, with most toxicities related to sorafenib.

In Australia this is the only indication for which sorafenib is listed on the PBS and hence the only government-subsidised indication for sorafenib. Along with renal cell carcinoma, hepatocellular carcinoma is one of the TGA-labelled indications for sorafenib.

### Thyroid cancer

On 22 November 2013, sorafenib was approved by the FDA for the treatment of locally recurrent or metastatic, progressive differentiated thyroid carcinoma (DTC) refractory to radioactive iodine treatment.

The phase III DECISION trial showed significant improvement in progression-free survival but not in overall survival. However, as is known, the side effects were very frequent, specially hand and foot skin reaction.

## Adverse effects

**Adverse effects by frequency**
*Note: Potentially serious side effects are in **bold**.*
**Very common (\>10% frequency)**

**Common (1-10% frequency)**

* Transient increase in transaminase

**Uncommon (0.1-1% frequency)**

**Rare (0.01-0.1% frequency)**

## History

### Renal cancer

Sorafenib was approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) in December 2005, and received European Commission marketing authorization in July 2006, both for use in the treatment of advanced renal cancer.

### Liver cancer

The European Commission granted marketing authorization to the drug for the treatment of patients with hepatocellular carcinoma(HCC), the most common form of liver cancer, in October 2007, and FDA approval for this indication followed in November 2007.

In November 2009, the UK's National Institute for Clinical Excellence declined to approve the drug for use within the NHS in England, Wales and Northern Ireland, stating that its effectiveness (increasing survival in primary liver cancer by 6 months) did not justify its high price, at up to £3000 per patient per month. In Scotland the drug had already been refused authorization by the Scottish Medicines Consortium for use within NHS Scotland, for the same reason.

In March 2012, the Indian Patent Office granted a domestic company, Natco Pharma, a license to manufacture generic sorafenib, bringing its price down by 97%. Bayer sells a month's supply, 120 tablets, of Nexavar for280,000 (US$3,400). Natco Pharma will sell 120 tablets for 8,800 (US$110), while still paying a 6% royalty to Bayer. The royalty was later raised to 7% on appeal by Bayer. Under the Patents Act, 1970 and the World Trade Organisation TRIPS Agreement, the government can issue a compulsory license when a drug is not available at an affordable price.

## Society and culture

### Nexavar controversy

In January 2014, Bayer's CEO Marijn Dekkers allegedly stated that Nexavar was developed for "Western patients who can afford it, not for Indians". A kidney cancer patient would pay $96,000 (£58,000) for a year's course of the Bayer-made drug, whereas the cost of the Indian version of the generic drug would be around $2,800 (£1,700).

## Research

### Lung

In some kinds of lung cancer (with squamous-cell histology) sorafenib administered in addition to paclitaxel and carboplatin may be *detrimental* to patients.

### Ovarian cancer

Sorafenib has been studied as maintenance therapy after ovarian cancer treatment and in combination with chemotherapy for recurrent ovarian cancer but did not show results that led to approval of the drug for these indications.

### Brain (recurrent glioblastoma)

There is a phase I/II study at the Mayo Clinic of sorafenib and CCI-779 (temsirolimus) for recurrent glioblastoma.

### Desmoid tumor (aggressive fibromatosis)

A study performed in 2008 showed that sorafenib is active against aggressive fibromatosis. This study is being used as justification for using sorafenib as an initial course of treatment in some patients with the condition.

A phase III clinical trial is testing the effectiveness of sorafenib to treat desmoid tumors (also known as aggressive fibromatosis), after positive results in the first two trial stages. Dosage is typically half of that applied for malignant cancers (400 mg vs 800 mg). NCI are sponsoring this trial.

**Villa Malfitano Whitaker** is a 19th-century villa in Via Dante, in the quarter of Politeama of Palermo, Sicily. It is presently a museum displaying Whitaker's natural history and archaeological collections, as well as his artwork.

## History

The villa was built between 1886 and 1889 for the Anglo-Sicilian businessman Joseph Whitaker and his wife Tina Whitaker. It was designed by the architect Ignazio Greco and represents a synthesis of Neo-Renaissance and Eclecticism styles. The state rooms were frescoed with a rich floral trompe-l’oeil decoration by Ettore De Maria Bergler. Other smaller rooms have Flemish tapestries with scenes from the *Aeneid* and frescoes by Rocco Lentini and stuccoes by Salvatore Valenti.

The garden of the villa was designed by Emilio Kunzmann and covers about seven hectares. Many rare plants from Tunisia, Sumatra, Australia and South America are located in it.

During the *Belle Époque* age the villa was the venue for lavish parties. The Whitaker family knew artists like Richard Wagner and the imperial dynasties of Great Britain, Germany and Russia.

The villa is currently the headquarters of the Whitaker Foundation.

**The Economical Printing Press** is the second commercial printing press to be established in Dubai and has been in Dubai for over 40 Years. The Economical Printing Press is specialized in ABT and BLTmedia.

## History

The company was founded by Mr. "Hassan Fahmi" Saleh AlShunnar, an architectural engineer who migrated to Dubai in the early 60's looking for work.

The Economical Printing Press was forced to downsize its employee count in 2009 due to the great recession that hit Dubai in that period, which saw many people leaving the country with all their belonging and debt unsettled.

The company has relocated its headquarters to Al Quoz in Dubai, and is about to open five more branches scattered around the United Arab Emirates.

# "Cochranella" duidaeana

**"*Cochranella*" *duidaeana***, commonly known as the **Duida Cochran frog**, is a species of frog in the family Centrolenidae. It is endemic to Cerro Duida, Venezuela. The generic placement of this species within the subfamily Centroleninae is uncertain (*incertae sedis*).

## Taxonomy and systematics

This species was originally described as *Centrolenella duidaeana*. However, most subsequent studies have placed it in the genus *Cochranella*. A study published in 2002 suggested that it belongs to the *Cochranella spinosa* group. However, morphological data do not allow unambiguous generic placement. With no molecular data available, it is for the time being retained in *Cochranella*.

## Description

Adult males measure 20.8–22.1 mm (0.82–0.87 in) in snout–vent length; females are unknown. The tympanum is inconspicuous. The dorsum is uniformly green. The iris is greenish-yellowish. Dorsal skin is finely granular.

class=notpageimage|*"Cochranella" duidaeana* is only known from Cerro Duida, Venezuela

## Habitat and conservation

The species is known from the southern tip of the summit of Cerro Duida at an elevation of about 2,140 m (7,020 ft) above sea level. It occurs in shrubs in montane forest along streams.

There are no known threats to this species. It occurs in the Duida-Marahuaca National Park.

# Nigel Waymouth

**Nigel Waymouth** (born 1941) is a designer and artist, a co-partner in the boutique, Granny Takes a Trip, and one of the two-man team, Hapshash and the Coloured Coat, which designed psychedelic posters in the 1960s. He has since had a solo career, including portrait painting.

## Life and work

Nigel Waymouth was born in India. His early childhood was spent in Argentina until he moved to England in 1953. He was educated at St Lawrence School and at Harrow Weald County Grammar School, under the tutelage of the future Home Secretary, Merlyn Rees. He graduated in economic history at University College London.

Following this, he attended art courses at various London art colleges. On leaving University college he also spent eighteen months working as a free-lance journalist, writing features on social issues for medical journals and editing an employment magazine. In January 1966 he and two partners, Sheila Cohen and John Pearse, opened the original rock-chic fashion boutique, Granny Takes a Trip.

Waymouth was responsible for the constantly changing shop fronts; he also designed the interior decor and many of the early clothes. While still involved in Granny Takes a Trip, in 1967 he teamed up with fellow artist Michael English and together they began designing many of the quintessential British pop posters of that era.

Their partnership lasted nearly two years under the name, Hapshash and the Coloured Coat. Most of the originals of these graphic designs and some of the clothes are now in the permanent collection of the Victoria and Albert Museum. In the fall of 2000, the museum held a large retrospective of the Hapshash and the Coloured Coat work. The Tate Gallery in Liverpool also included many of these designs in the "Summer of Love Psychedelic Art, 1967" exhibition in 2005, which traveled to Brooklyn in the summer of 2007.

Since 1970, Waymouth has pursued a career as a painter, and portraitist. His work has been exhibited in Fischer Fine Art, London (1977, 1978, 1979); Alex Reid & Lefevre, London (1984), Jonathan Clark Fine Art, London (1988), Keller & Greene, Los Angeles (2005), Jonathan Cooper Park Walk Gallery, London (2006). An exhibition entitled *Haphash Takes a Trip: The Sixties Work of Nigel Waymouth* was due to open at the Idea Generation Gallery in London in September 2011.

He has been included in the Royal Society of Portrait Painters group show. His works have been commissioned and collected by Mr. and Mrs. Rupert Murdoch, The Duchess of York, The Duke of Devonshire, Mr. and Mrs. Tom Hanks, Mr. Dominick Dunne, Dame Diana Rigg, Mr. Peter Morton, Mr. & Mrs. Eric Idle, Dr. & Mrs. Mortimer Sackler.

Nigel Waymouth lives and works in London. He has two sons by his marriage to interior decorator Lady Victoria Waymouth (1947–2004): Louis Waymouth, who is a writer on *The Late Late Show with James Corden*, and art curator and sculptor, Adam Waymouth.


title: Leon Muerto

abstract: Leon Muerto is a 4,799 metres (15,745 ft) high volcano in Chile. The Central Chilean Andes have an arid climate since the Miocene. Thus, a number of volcanic centres going back as far as 25 million years are well preserved. Geologically, this area belongs to the Central Volcanic Zone, a volcanic belt in the Andes, whose magmas are heavily influenced by the thick crust of the area. Leon Muerto is a deeply eroded volcano with a radial symmetric structure on the border between Argentina and Chile. It covers a surface of 80 square kilometres (31 sq mi). It was formed between 25 and 17 million years ago and has a volume of 19 cubic kilometres (4.6 cu mi). The crust beneath Leon Muerto has an average thickness of 60 kilometres (37 mi). Better dates obtained on Leon Muerto by potassium-argon dating indicate an age of 19,900,000 ± 800,000 years ago. It is among the oldest centres in the area and parts of its subvolcanic structure are exposed. Erosion has exposed much of the structure of Leon Muerto. It includes lava flows 2–3 kilometres (1.2–1.9 mi) long, lapilli and tephra. Most of the rocks are basaltic andesite, dacite is also present in the central parts of the volcano and aluminum-rich basalt has also been found. Some lava flows contain olivine. The magmas that formed the volcano are partially evolved magmas, with their formation influenced by the crust. These lavas are considered to be backarc lavas and resemble these of volcanoes farther south. A number of ignimbrites are found in the territory, one of them named Leon Muerto is found southwest of the volcano. This ignimbrite is 5 million years old.

# The Gants

**The Gants** was an American garage rock band that formed in 1964 in Greenwood, Mississippi, in the cultural and geographic Deep South.

## History

The Kingsmen – a different band from the Kingsmen that had a major hit with "Louie Louie" in the same time period – began with Sid Herring & Johnny Freeman in 1963 playing R&B covers and the type of instrumentals popularized by The Ventures. The Gants were formed shortly after by Sid Herring (lead vocals and guitar), Johnny Sanders (October 8, 1945 – September 29, 2012; guitar), Vince Montgomery (bass guitar), and Don Wood (December 19, 1949 – May 14, 2011; drums).

Several events combined to push the band from the obscurity of playing other artists' songs at Greenwood, Mississippi dances and into the popular genres of 1960s garage-rock. Freeman dropped out of the Kingsmen because of conflicts with his parents over touring out-of-town. After discussions with Vince Montgomery and Don Wood, Sid Herring replaced Freeman with Johnny Sanders. The band name was changed to The Gants, after a popular brand of shirt with a button-down collar, which is also the French word for "glove". In 1965, The Gants released their first single and album, Road Runner. At the same time, Herring, who resembled Peter Noone of Herman's Hermits, began writing some original songs. In early 1965, The Gants were overheard by a U.S. tour manager and coordinator for The Animals, York Noble, while playing in the Holiday Inn ballroom in Laurel, Mississippi and were chosen to open for that band's Florida tour. This turned out to be a typical development for The Gants  playing the first set for more famous groups  but opportunities were limited with half the band still in high school and the other half in college.

At this point, The Gants had a professional sound and a repertoire of original material and an even larger repertoire of covers, which were reflected in the choice of sides for their first single: (Bo Diddley's) "Road Runner" backed with (Herring's own) "My Baby Don't Care", released on the Statue label in mid-1965. The record showed enough potential for re-release on a major label, Liberty Records, in September, and it gained some modest chart success, reaching #46 in the US and #28 in Australia. Later that year, Liberty released The Gants' first album, *Roadrunner*. In January 1966 a new single was released, "Little Boy Sad", which included an early use of the talk box later made famous by Joe Walsh and Peter Frampton. The band tried to get Liberty to release their recording of Them's "Gloria" but the label declined. The song later became a hit for The Shadows of Knight.

A definite pattern had been established: The Gants were able to record and make brief tours during vacations, but that was never enough. Radio stations gave up on their records when the band could not get away from their responsibilities at home for promotional appearances. In 1966 and early 1967, several singles and two more albums were released, *Gants Galore* and *Gants Again*. None of these releases had significant chart impact. During this period Johnny Sanders had quit and was replaced by Johnny Freeman, for a couple of gigs and a trip to California, which proved fruitless. Then Freeman was replaced again after they returned from California in the summer of 1967, and three of the Gants headed back to Greenwood, leaving Herring in Los Angeles with a job as a staff songwriter for Liberty Records.

Despite their lack of hits, The Gants maintained a minor cult aura within the garage rock ethos and were not entirely forgotten. One of their songs, Herring's "I Wonder" was included on the 1980 compilation album, *Pebbles, Volume 8*. In 2000, Sundazed Records released *Roadrunner! The Best of The Gants*, with liner notes by Mike Stax; their single "Little Boy Sad" was included on Oxford American magazine's *Southern Sampler* music CD.

In 2005, The Gants were performing together again: Sid Herring, Don Wood, Johnny Sanders, (Johnny Freeman rhythm guitar rejoined the band in 2001) with bassist Ed Foresman replacing Vince Montgomery, who died of natural causes in January 2001 at his home in Clarksdale, Mississippi, at age 54.

Don Wood died in his home in Greenwood, Mississippi on May 14, 2011, at age 61.

Johnny Sanders died at home on September 29, 2012, from Alzheimer's Disease, at age 66. He was an MD, and founded Sanders Clinic for Women in Tupelo, MS.

# My Resistance Is Low

"**My Resistance Is Low**" is a 1951 song by American singer, songwriter and band leader Hoagy Carmichael, with later lyrics by Harold Adamson.

## Creation

Carmichael had the melody, and then recorded it backed by the Gordon Jenkins Chorus and Orchestra. Released on March 15, 1951, it did not feature in the Billboard chart.

## *The Las Vegas Story*

The song is probably best known to American audiences for being in the closing sequence to the 1952 Jane Russell movie *The Las Vegas Story*, which was produced and directed by Howard Hughes. Hughes cast Carmichael as Happy the piano player in a bar, and Carmichael agreed that Hughes could commission Harold Adamson to write suitable lyrics.

In its film review, *Time Out* magazine commented:

> A minor RKO gem showing all the preferences of its then owner Howard Hughes (aeroplanes, brunettes, breasts and disenchanted heroes).... It all finishes with a perfunctory nod toward family values (by marrying off an irrelevant young couple), but the film wears its intentions on its sleeve with the final shot: Hoagy looks first at the seductive Russell, then winks at us as he sings, *My Resistance Is Low*

Re-released as a result, this time with the Adamson lyrics sung by Carmichael, released through Decca Records hit number one in the United Kingdom and a number of other countries.

## Later releases

The song became a perennial classic in the UK, with most releases since Carmichael's within that country. The best known is 1976's (Clive) Robin Sarstedt's, who became a one-hit wonder when the track reached number 3 in the UK Singles Chart.

| Artist | Date | Notes |
| --- | --- | --- |
| The Shadows | September 1961 | Album track on instrumental album *"The Shadows"* |
| Robin Sarstedt | 1976 | Number 3 in the UK |
| Bing Crosby | 1977 | for his album *Beautiful Memories* |
| Georgie Fame & Annie Ross | 1981 |  |
| Elvis Costello & Paul Riley & Pete Thomas | November 14, 1994 |  |

# Norumbega Carriage House

The **Norumbega Carriage House** is a historic house on High Street in Camden, Maine. Built in 1886 as the carriage house for the adjacent Norumbega Castle of Joseph B. Stearns, it is now a private residence. It was designed by Norumbega's architect, Arthur Bates Jennings, and is (along with the main house) one of Camden's finest and most unusual examples of Queen Anne architecture. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1982.

## Description and history

The former Norumbega Carriage House stands southeast of Norumbega Castle (now the Norumbega Inn), and is accessed via either High Street (from a drive shared in part with Norumbega) or Marine Drive. It is a 2+12-story structure, built out of fieldstone and frame construction finished in wooden shingles. Its main block is rectangular, with a cross-gabled roof, and a tall circular tower at its eastern corner. The bottom half of the tower is stone, while the upper part of frame, and it is topped by a conical roof. The main facade faces northwest, and has an off-center stone section rising to a wall dormer at the roof level. In its ground level is a large entry set in a segmented-arch opening, with an arched bay above. A square ell extends southwest from the main block, giving the building an L shape.

The carriage house was built, along with the main house, in 1886 for Joseph Barker Stearns, a telecommunications magnate who made his fortune in developing and patenting the duplex telegraph. It was designed by New York City architect Arthur Bates Jennings, whose credits in Maine also include the St. Lawrence Church in Portland. The carriage house has for many years been under separate ownership from the main house, and has been adapted to residential use.

# M. W. Wade

**Madison W. Wade** was an early American photographer through the late 19th to early 20th centuries. His pioneering photographic techniques of the 1890s led to the concept of the "Ping-Pong photo" which revolutionized the professional photographic studios of the early 1900s.

## Career

Wade came up with the original idea for producing ping-pong photographs, which he named the "little photos", while working for Chas. T. Pomeroy, a photographer from Kansas City, Mo. Wade began publicly selling his small portrait concept to the public on July 17, 1897. Over the next four years he produced over 500,000 of these photos. Wade then moved to Colorado, opening a photo studio in Denver. In 1901, Wade moved to Ohio and opened 5 galleries. The main gallery was located in Akron on 207 E. Market St. Of the remaining four, two were located in Columbus, one in Canton, and one in Massilon.

In 1904, Wade moved to Youngstown, Ohio and for the next 35 years operated "Wade's Studio" on W. Federal Street. His exact address on this street varied over time. The Ohio Business Directory includes records of the following locations of Wade's studio from 1908-1927: 17, 101, 103, and 105 W. Federal Street.

He was attributed in the August 10th, 1905 *Youngstown Vindicator* as holding the world's record for taking the most portrait photographs from 1897 to 1905. This was largely attributed to the popularity of his "little photos" concept. In addition, the article also stated *"The first 6 months of this year \[1905\] in the neighborhooding city of New Castle he made sittings for fifteen thousand dozens photographs, the most phenomenal photographic run ever made in that city." \[See "Noted Photographer Here" image this page\].*

Wade retired from photography in 1939 and died on April 17, 1943, at St. Francis Hospital in Columbus, Ohio.
