## Political career

### South Carolina House of Representatives

Jones is a founding member of the South Carolina Freedom Caucus, an Executive Committee Member of the SC House Family Caucus. He is Chair of the Early Childhood Development Committee. He is also 2nd Vice Chair of the House Interstate Cooperation Committee, and also serves on the House Education and Public Works Committee.

Jones was one of three legislators that wrote to the Governor on April 15, 2020, saying "we cannot support labeling businesses as 'non-essential' — much less ordering them to close." On April 29, the three lawmakers including Jones urged Speaker Jay Lucas of the House, "to reconvene members of the House of Representatives, under the belief the House might be able to vote to end Gov. McMaster's newest "State of Emergency" in response to the coronavirus."

Jones held a press conference on the steps of the state capital in Columbia, announcing plans to bring the signed petitions straight to the governor's desk.

"They don't want to ask the government for any assistance, they want their freedom, they want to be able to run their business and run their lives," said Jones.

In December 2021, passed 3126, a bill to ban federal COVID vaccine mandates and a proviso to prohibit forced masking, COVID vaccines, and COVID tests in South Carolina K-12 schools. He also passed provisos to ban forced masking, COVID testing and vaccines in state funded universities and schools.

In 2021, Jones led 36 lawmakers on a petition demanding the state school board association's withdrawal from the National School Board Association.

Jones supported the Fetal Heartbeat Bill, which was signed into law with exceptions. In 2023, Jones was one of 21 Republican co-sponsors of the South Carolina Prenatal Equal Protection Act of 2023, which would make women who had abortions eligible for the death penalty.

Jones helped to pass the First Steps Act of South Carolina in August 2023 "ensuring every child in South Carolina has an opportunity to have a great education and a future."

### U.S. House of Representatives campaign

In March 2024, Jones filed to run for South Carolina Congressional District 3 House of Representatives. The incumbent Jeff Duncan, announced that he would not seek re-election.

# Tarzan the Untamed

***Tarzan the Untamed*** is a book by American writer Edgar Rice Burroughs, the seventh in his series of twenty-four books about the title character Tarzan. It was originally published as two separate stories serialized in different pulp magazines; "Tarzan the Untamed" (also known as "Tarzan and the Huns") in *Redbook* from March to August, 1919, and "Tarzan and the Valley of Luna" in *All-Story Weekly* from March to April 1920. The two stories were combined under the title of the first in the first book edition, published in 1920 by A. C. McClurg. In order of writing, the book follows *Jungle Tales of Tarzan*, a collection of short stories about the ape-man's youth. Chronologically, it follows *Tarzan and the Jewels of Opar*.

## Plot summary

The action is set during World War I. While John Clayton, Lord Greystoke (Tarzan) is away from his plantation home in British East Africa, it is destroyed by invading German troops from Tanganyika. On his return he discovers among many burned bodies one that appears to be the corpse of his wife, Jane Porter Clayton. Another fatality is the Waziri warrior Wasimbu, left crucified by the Germans. (Wasimbu's father Muviro, first mentioned in this story, goes on to play a prominent role in later Tarzan novels.)

Maddened, the ape-man seeks revenge not only on the perpetrators of the tragedy but all Germans, and sets out for the battle front of the war in east Africa. On the way he has a run-in with a lion (or *Numa*, as it is called by the apes among whom Tarzan was raised), which he traps in a gulch by blocking the entrance. At the front he infiltrates the German headquarters and seizes Major Schneider, the officer he believes led the raid on his estate. Returning to the gulch, he throws his captive to the lion. Tarzan goes on to help the British in the battle in various ways, including setting the lion loose in the enemy trenches, and kills von Goss, another German officer involved in the attack on the Greystoke estate.

He then becomes embroiled in the affairs of Bertha Kircher, a woman he has seen in both the German and British camps, and believes to be a German spy, particularly after he learns she possesses his mother's locket, which he had given as a gift to Jane. His efforts to retrieve it led him to a rendezvous between Kircher and Captain Fritz Schneider, brother of the major Tarzan threw to the lion previously, and the actual commander of the force that burned the estate. Killing Schneider, Tarzan believes his vengeance complete. Abandoning his vendetta against the Germans he departs for the jungle, swearing off all company with mankind.

Seeking a band of *Mangani*, the apes among whom he had been raised, Tarzan crosses a desert, undergoing great privations. Indeed, the desert is almost his undoing. He only survives by feigning death to lure a vulture (*Ska* in the ape language) following him into his reach; he then catches and devours the vulture, which gives him the strength to go on.

On the other side of the desert Tarzan locates the ape band. While with them he once again encounters Bertha Kircher, who has just escaped from Sergeant Usanga, leader a troop of native deserters from the German army, by whom she had been taken captive. Despite his suspicion of Bertha, Tarzan's natural chivalry leads him to grant her shelter and protection among the apes. Later he himself falls captive to the tribe of cannibals the deserters have sheltered among, along with Harold Percy Smith-Oldwick, a British aviator who has been forced down in the jungle. Learning of Tarzan's plight, Bertha heroically leads the apes against the natives and frees them both.

Smith-Oldwick becomes infatuated with Bertha, and they search for his downed plane. They find it, but are captured again by Usanga, who attempts to fly off in it with Bertha. Tarzan arrives in time to board the plane as it takes off and throw Usanga from the plane. Smith-Oldwick and Bertha Kircher then try to pilot it back across the desert to civilization, but fail to make it. Seeing the plane go down, Tarzan once more sets out to rescue them. On the way he encounters another *Numa*, this one an unusual black lion caught in a pit trap, and frees it.

He, the two lovers and the lion are soon reunited, but attacked by warriors from the lost city of Xuja, hidden in a secret desert valley. Tarzan is left for dead and Bertha and Smith-Oldwick taken prisoner. The Xujans are masters of the local lions and worshippers of parrots and monkeys. They are also completely insane as a consequence of long inbreeding. Recovering, Tarzan once more comes to the rescue of his companions, aided by the lion he had saved earlier. But the Xujans pursue them and they turn at bay to make one last stand. The day is saved by a search party from Smith-Oldwick's unit, which turns the tide.

Afterward, Tarzan and Smith-Oldwick find out that Bertha is a double agent who has actually been working for the British. Tarzan also learns from the diary of the deceased Fritz Schneider that Jane might still be alive.

## Controversy

*Tarzan the Untamed* was one of Burroughs' most controversial novels. The controversy stemmed from his blanket portrayal of Germans as stereotypical, unredeemable villains, one that was also extended to his contemporary science fiction novel *The Land That Time Forgot*. This portrayal, while perhaps understandable in wartime, ultimately ruined the market for his writing in Germany, where the character of Tarzan had formerly been quite popular. Burroughs' later introduction of heroic Germans into his subsequent novels *Tarzan and the Lost Empire*, *Tarzan at the Earth's Core* and *Back to the Stone Age* did little to repair the damage to his reputation there.

## Legacy

Previous novels in the series had dealt primarily with the ape-man’s own affairs, while *Tarzan the Untamed* and later ones (beginning with *Tarzan, Lord of the Jungle*) would cast him as a protector and enabler of others.

*Tarzan the Untamed* introduced the lost civilization of Xuja, foreshadowing a pattern in later Tarzan novels. Of the six books before *Tarzan the Untamed*, two featured the lost city of Opar, but otherwise the series centered on Tarzan’s adventures in his natural environment, the jungle. After *Tarzan the Untamed*, lost civilizations in remote parts of Africa became common in the novels. Such places tended to consist of two warring cities or kingdoms.

## Comic adaptations

The book has been adapted into comic form on a number of occasions.

Smith, who had been the candidate for the federal seat of Oxley at the 2010 state election, was elected to the Legislative Assembly at the 2012 state election, defeating new Labor candidate Ben Marczyk. She narrowly retained Mount Ommaney following the 2015 election. The narrow defeat of the Newman Government relegated the LNP to opposition and Smith was promoted to Shadow Cabinet as Shadow Minister for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander and Multicultural Affairs by Lawrence Springborg. Her elevation to Shadow Minister for Science, Innovation and the Digital Economy came with the election of Tim Nicholls as Opposition Leader on 6 May 2015. Smith's seat of Mount Ommaney was altered by an electoral redistribution for the 2017 state election: her 0.2% majority from the 2015 election, already the narrowest in the state, became a 1.0% Labor margin on the new boundaries, making it a notionally Labor seat. She recontested her seat, but was defeated by Labor candidate Jess Pugh.

The **Tanzanian Private Equity & Venture Capital Association (TAVCA)** is a non–profit lobbying body facilitating the creation of an environment fostering sustainable private equity ("PE") and venture capital ("VC") investment in Tanzania.

TAVCA facilitates dialogue on a sustainable code of conduct for the African PE context, customised to a Tanzanian setting. TAVCA identifies innovative structured financial instruments and designs policy to stimulate investment for the empowerment of Tanzanians.

## History

Events endorsing a PE platform customised to Tanzania include:

### Experts in VC and PE financing required

Opening a consultative seminar on venture capital and private equity financing organised by the Tanzania Private Sector Foundation (TPSF), Dr Mary Nagu, Minister of State Prime Minister’s Office, Investment and Empowerment told participants that given the numerous investment opportunities emerging in various sectors of the economy, the country requires experts in venture capital and private equity.

### Alternative source of finance to companies in Tanzania

At the end of 2014 over 200 local and international investors met in Dar es Salaam "to deliberate on expanding investment opportunities in Tanzania through non banking financial instruments, specifically, Venture and Private Equity Financing." Opening the proceedings, Tanzania Vice President, Dr Mohamed Gharib Bilal said, “The efforts to develop the private equity and venture capital as an alternative source of finance to our companies in Tanzania is warmly welcomed and unconditionally supported ...”

### In the wake of US$180 million African-focused PE fund

TAVCA was established in 2013 in the wake of the US$180 million private equity fund, PMEA African Infrastructure Opportunities plc (LON: PMEA), the Sovereign Wealth Fund of the Qatar Investment Authority (2007 Alternative Investment Market listing). Learning from the mistakes of purely private investments and the dynamics of patronage networks, TAVCA is playing a part in establishing an ethically performing sustainable industry in Tanzania.

This ignores the well-documented history of Asia, which Tartary refers to. In the present day, the Tartary region covers a region spanning from central Afghanistan to northern Kazakhstan, as well as areas in present Mongolia, China, and the Russian Far East in "Chinese Tartary".

## Background

The theory of Great Tartaria as a suppressed lost land or civilization originated in Russia, with aspects first appearing in Anatoly Fomenko's new chronology in the mid-1970s and early 1980s, and then popularized by the racial occult history of Nikolai Levashov. In Russian pseudoscience, known for its nationalism, Tartaria is presented as the "real" name for Russia, which was maliciously "ignored" in the West. The Russian Geographical Society has debunked the conspiracy theory as an extremist fantasy, and far from denying the existence of the term, has used the opportunity to share numerous maps of "Tartary" in its collection. Since about 2016, conspiracy theories about the supposed lost empire of "Tartaria" have gained popularity on the Internet, divorced from its original Russian nationalist frame.

## Conspiracy theory

The globalized version of the conspiracy theory is based on an alternative view of architectural history. Adherents propose that demolished buildings such as the Singer Building, the original New York Penn Station, and the temporary grounds of the 1915 World's Fair were actually the buildings of a vast empire based in Tartary that has been suppressed from history. Sumptuously styled Gilded Age buildings are often held out as really having been built by the supposed Tartaria. Other buildings, such as the Great Pyramids and the White House, are further held out as Tartarian buildings. The conspiracy theory only vaguely describes how such a supposedly advanced civilization which had reputedly achieved world peace could have fallen and been hidden.

In the conspiracy theory, the idea that a "mud flood" wiped out much of the world via depopulation and thus old buildings is common, supported by the fact that many buildings across the world have architectural elements like doors, windows and archways submerged many feet below "ground level". Both World War I and II are cited as a way in which Tartaria was destroyed and hidden, reflecting the reality that the extensive bombing campaigns of World War II did destroy many historic buildings. The general evidence for the theory is that there are similar styles of building around the world, such as capitol buildings with domes, or star forts. Also many photographs from the turn of the 20th century appear to show deserted city streets in many capital cities across the world. When people do start to appear in the photographs there is a striking contrast between the horse and cart dwellers in the muddy streets and the elaborate, highly ornate stone mega-structures which tower above the inhabitants of the cities, which is seen even in modern cities where extreme poverty is contrasted with skyscrapers.

Zach Mortice, writing for *Bloomberg*, believes that the theory reflects a cultural discontent with modernism, and a supposition that traditional styles are inherently good and modern styles are bad. He describes the theory as "the QAnon of architecture". Moritz Maurer, a religious scholar, links Tartarian imagery to "giant trees" theory, in which colossal, flat buttes are envisioned as the stumps of primordial "mother trees" cut down at some point in the past by unknown nefarious agents. Maurer attributes the lack of a clear narrative for both conspiracies to the image-based social media on which they are presented, describing it as "meme culture" and also comparing it to QAnon.

title: Tattooed Arm

abstract: Tattooed Arm was the Female Sun of the Natchez people in the early 18th century. The Natchez were matrilineal, and while the paramount chief was a man, this title was inherited through his mother, the Female Sun. Tattooed Arm was the mother of the Great Sun, and the daughter of the previous female sun, "White Woman". She was the sister of war chief Tattooed Serpent and the Great Sun. Like her brothers, she was friendly to the French, and had attempted to warn them of plans by her tribe to attack them by surprise. In early 1731 the French besieged a Natchez fort in the Tensas watershed. Several hundred Natchez, mainly women and children, surrendered to the French under a false offer of amnesty. Tattooed Arm may have surrendered then, or may have stayed in the fort until escaping with almost all of the remaining defenders during a rainstorm. In any case, Tattooed Arm was later interviewed by Antoine-Simon Le Page du Pratz in New Orleans. Tattooed Arm may have been among the 291 Natchez people who were sent to the French colony of Saint-Domingue in May 1731, where they were sold as slaves. Her original Natchez name is unknown.

title: Teatrino di Vetriano, Pescaglia

abstract: The Teatrino di Vetriano or Small Theater of Vetriano is a small, 19th-century performance stage built in the village of Vetriano, in the commune of Pescaglia, province of Lucca, region of Tuscany, Italy. The tiny theater was constructed in 1889–1890 at the site of a barn donated for this purpose by the engineer Virgilio Biagini. The rural inhabitants of this area, hungry for access to cultural activities set up a tax fund to pay for the costs of construction. In 1890, the theater, framed by neoclassical decorations was used for musical and dramatic performances, some written and acted by the townsfolk themselves. In the twentieth century, the theater shuttered. In 1997, the descendants of engineer Biagini donated the theatre to the Fondo Ambiente Italia, who restored the building and now administers the site. The small theater still puts on events, with a maximum audience of 85, and a state measuring some 71 meters square. Underneath the theatre, there are two dressing rooms and a small costume store. It won the title of the "smallest historical theater of the world" in the Guinness Book of Records.

title: Tarlton Rayment

abstract:
Percy Tarlton Rayment FRZS was an Australian artist, author, broadcaster, poet, naturalist, entomologist and beekeeper. He is especially renowned for his extensive pioneering studies of Australia’s native bees. Apart from numerous papers and articles in the entomological literature and in natural history journals and popular magazines including Walkabout, books authored by Rayment include:
  - 1916 - Money in Bees in Australasia. Whitcombe & Tombs: Melbourne..
  - 1933 - The Prince of the Totem. Robertson & Mullens: Melbourne..
  - 1935 - A Cluster of Bees. Endeavour Press: Sydney..
  - 1937 - The Valley of the Sky. Ivor Nicholson & Watson: London. (Novel).
  - 1945 - Eagles and Earthlings. A metrical tribute to the air crews in the war. Author. (Poetry).
  - 1946 - Profitable Honey Plants of Australasia. Whitcombe & Tombs: Melbourne..
  - 1953 - Bees of the Portland District. Portland Field Naturalists Club. Although Rayment is currently best remembered as a person who wrote expertly about beekeeping in Australia, he spent a considerable amount of time with the Aruntja people of Central Australia. He had no formal training as an anthropologist, but his wide-ranging intelligence was a good alternative to such training. He was sufficiently accepted by the Aruntja people that, although a white-man, he was regarded as an honorary member of their tribe. In The Prince of the Totem, Rayment himself drew the striking black-and-white illustrations that vividly depict the characters, and events.

title: Ted Szilva

abstract: Theodore Arthur "Ted" Szilva, was a Canadian businessman in Greater Sudbury, Ontario. He was best known for creating the city's "Big Nickel" landmark. Szilva was born and raised in the old city of Sudbury. He proposed the Big Nickel monument in 1963, when he was a 28-year-old firefighter. It subsequently became one of Sudbury's most recognizable features, and Szilva owned both the monument and the surrounding park area until 1981. Szilva was an active Roman Catholic. During the 1980s, he co-managed a successful private lottery named "Pot `O' Gold" that provided funding for Ontario's Catholic schools. When the provincial government of Bill Davis extended full funding to Catholic education in 1984, Szilva helped wind down the lottery and re-establish it as a charity fund. Some have suggested that Davis's decision to fund Catholic schools was predicated, in part, on his government's desire to re-establish control over the lottery sector. Szilva continued to co-manage the charity fund into the 2000s. Szilva was a longtime member of the Liberal Party of Canada and the Ontario Liberal Party, and played an organizational role in several political campaigns. He ran for Mayor of Sudbury against Peter Wong in 1985, but was defeated. He endorsed Colin Firth's bid to become mayor in 2003, and unsuccessfully sought a seat on the Roman Catholic School Board in 2006. He was the inventor of the D-Best Keyholder, and was president of D-Best Products. In 2009, he was made a member of the Order of Ontario.

# Teal Swan

**Teal Swan** (born **Mary Teal Bosworth**; June 16, 1984) is an American spiritual influencer and author. Swan and her teachings are the subject of documentaries and podcasts. Publications, including Eonline, *The Guardian*, and the BBC have noted that some of her teaching methods on how to manage mental health issues have been found controversial by her critics, a claim denied by Swan and some of her proponents.

## Early life

Swan was born in Santa Fe, New Mexico, on June 16, 1984, and was raised in Logan, Utah. From an early age, she has claimed to have extrasensory abilities, including telepathy and the ability to communicate with the dead. Swan reports that these claims contributed to her being socially ostracized and bullied in her youth. This social ostracization, in turn, led to her interactions with the mental health profession.

In 2006, Barbara Snow, a therapist working with Swan, filed a police complaint alleging that Swan had endured twelve years of ritual abuse. Such allegations by Snow were not unprecedented, aligning with a history of similar claims during the period known as the satanic panic, prevalent in the late 20th century. The era was marked by numerous publicized legal cases in the United States, including the McMartin preschool trial, the Country Walk case involving Frank Fuster, and cases in Kern and Thurston counties, some of which were re-examined in later years. The investigation into Swan and Snow's abuse allegations ended due to a lack of evidence, resulting in case closure.

## Career

In 2011, Swan released the book *The Sculptor in the Sky*. That year, she held her first event, at a Salt Lake City recital hall, speaking to approximately twenty people.

Her teaching methods sometimes guide participants to envision their own deaths, occasionally by suicide. In 2019, Lebo Diseko from the BBC cited Swan's viewpoint on suicide:

> In the video, Swan urges those who are feeling suicidal to seek medical help, but goes on to say that in her experience, for some people, this may not help long-term. She instead suggests that suicide be seen as "our safety net or our re-set button that's always available to us". She argues that viewing it in this way enables people to set the idea aside, and instead concentrate on what they can do to make themselves feel better in the present.
>
> She also suggests an exercise in which viewers are told to lie down on the floor and imagine their deaths in "grisly detail". Swan argues in the video that by doing so viewers will realise that there is "nowhere to go but back to life... so why leave?" She stresses in the video that killing oneself would "create a devastating ripple" for loved ones, and "it does matter if you are here or not here... You don't want to die. What you want is an end to your pain."
>
> Lebo Diseko

In October 2020, Swan's first young adult novel, *Hunger of the Pine*, was published.

## Documentaries

Swan was the subject of the 2017 documentary film *Open Shadow: The Story of Teal Swan*.

In 2018, a Gizmodo podcast, *The Gateway*, ran a six-part series on Swan and her self-help spiritual teachings on depression and how her techniques "process past trauma in order to overcome it". The host, Jennings Brown, stated that Swan was not like a regular spiritual leader in terms both of her appearance and how she markets herself.

In May 2022, Freeform released a four-part docu-series on Swan called *The Deep End*. The producers of the documentary followed Swan for three years, detailing the rules placed on her inner circle and insinuating controlling and manipulative behavior. Swan has disputed her characterization in the documentary, citing deceptive practices by the filmmakers. She has shared a petition urging the director to release the unedited footage.

## Personal life

Swan has one son.

## Selected books

### *The Completion Process: The Practice of Putting Yourself Back Together Again*

Swan's 2016 book, *The Completion Process*, published by Hay House, details a 20-step healing journey for individuals coping with trauma. It outlines a method involving the creation of a "mental sanctuary" for revisiting traumatic experiences, acknowledging and validating emotions, identifying their origins, and guiding the reader toward relief. The process concludes with a ritual symbolizing a new start.

### *The Anatomy of Loneliness: How to Find Your Way Back to Connection*

In *The Anatomy of Loneliness*, published in 2018 by Watkins Media, Swan delves into the issue of loneliness in modern society. It introduces a framework to analyze and address loneliness, represented by the three pillars of separation, shame, and fear.

### *Hunger of the Pine*

Swan's first fiction novel, *Hunger of the Pine*, published by Watkins Media in 2020, narrates the story of Aria Abbott, a homeless teenager. Chandra Claypool, in her review, discusses how Aria, after fleeing an abusive foster home, forms an alliance with Taylor, another youth with aspirations for a better future, and together they journey to Los Angeles. Claypool highlights Swan's portrayal of the homeless community, emphasizing the book's challenge to societal perceptions and urging a more empathetic understanding of homelessness.

### *How to Love Yourself*

*How to Love Yourself*, an updated version of Swan's earlier work *Shadows Before Dawn*, explores various methods for cultivating self-love. Central to the book is the guiding question highlighted by Regina Brett of *Cleveland.com*: 'What would someone who loves themselves do?' This principle serves as a key mantra throughout the book. Swan explores the journey from self-loathing to self-love, aiming to guide readers towards finding self-worth and acceptance.

## History

Tarrafal de Monte Trigo is a rather long name considered important to avoid confusing it with other tarrafals in Cape Verde. There are over four of them, one on São Nicolau, and even another one on the island of Santo Antão, which is not really a village, but a section of Ribeira Grande, one of the largest towns on the island. The name Tarrafal comes from the shrub/tree *Tamarix senegalensis* or Tamarisk, called Tarrafe in Cape Verde.

In February 2021, work on the road to the village was declared finished with an inauguration ceremony.

# Technology Square (Cambridge, Massachusetts)

**Technology Square**, nicknamed **Tech Square**, is a commercial office building complex in the Port neighborhood of Cambridge, Massachusetts, immediately adjacent to the campus of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT).

## History

Tech Square was jointly developed by Cabot, Cabot & Forbes (CCF) and MIT on a 14-acre (5.7 ha) site which had previously housed a tenement (demolished in 1957) and a Lever Brothers soap factory (closed in 1959). The architects were Eduardo Catalano and Pietro Belluschi. The original architectural style was Brutalist (especially the central building), with a large open plaza paved with concrete and featuring wide shallow stepped levels.

The first building (545) opened in 1963, the second (575) in 1964. Two more buildings were erected in 1966 and 1967, forming a U facing Main Street made up of three nine-story buildings, and a three-story building in the middle.

In the 1970s, Draper Laboratory was built north of the original buildings, in the lot between them and Broadway, and was numbered 555.

Polaroid had its corporate headquarters at 549 Tech Square, the three-story building (known as the 'Block House') in the center of the courtyard, from 1966–1998. Between 1999 and 2002, the small building was demolished and an additional four buildings were added as infill to the former open plaza. All the older buildings were reworked into a more-contemporary style, and the combined complex was renumbered as 100–700. The comprehensive renovation and expansion was designed by Perkins & Will.

The original complex had no street-level storefronts, though it did house a small branch bank. The newer buildings add multiple storefronts with restaurants and retail properties aligned along the edge of the public sidewalk, rather than set back from the property lines as in its original conception.

MIT sold its interest in Tech Square in 1973–74 to CCF. CCF later went into bankruptcy, and the complex was successively owned by Mitsubishi Bank, the Prudential Life Insurance Company, and Beacon Capital Partners, until it was repurchased by MIT in 2001. Alexandria Real Estate Equities bought the complex for $600 million in 2006, and it is now officially called **Alexandria Technology Square** on some documentation, although the original name is still used almost exclusively.

## Occupants

MIT's Project MAC (1963–2004) and Artificial Intelligence Laboratory (1970–2004) occupied adjacent spaces at 545 Technology Square prior to their merger; the MIT building number assigned was NE43. Originally, the MIT labs occupied the 8th and 9th floors, but eventually they expanded to occupy the entire building. In 2004, the labs vacated Tech Square to move into their new expanded facilities in the MIT Stata Center on the main campus. The vacated building was completely overhauled and redesignated as 200 Technology Square.

Many other companies and organizations have had offices in Tech Square, including Polaroid, IBM's Cambridge Scientific Center, General Electric's and then Honeywell's Cambridge Information Systems Laboratory, NASA's Electronics Research Center, Keydata Corporation, the National Bureau of Economic Research, Computer Corporation of America, Draper Laboratory, Forrester Research, the World Wide Web Consortium, the Free Software Foundation, and Akamai.

The Central Intelligence Agency had a small office in Tech Square. MIT hackers placed a sign nearby, featuring the word "Intelligence". Below were the words "Central" and "Artificial", with arrows pointing in opposite directions.

Hackers tapped into the elevator controls to allow their computers to summon the elevator directly to the ninth floor.

Among the technologies developed at Technology Square are the Multics, CP/CMS, and ITS operating systems, the Maclisp, Logo, MDL, and Scheme programming languages, the Macsyma computer algebra system, the Emacs editor, the Polaroid SX-70 camera (partly), the RSA cryptosystem (partly), the *Zork* computer game, the Model 204 database management system, the Lisp Machine, the Curl web programming language, and the Akamai content delivery network.

# Tony Blair (song)

"**Tony Blair**" is a single by Chumbawamba which was made available exclusively to the United Kingdom mailing list as a Christmas present in December 1999.

## Background

Chumbawamba had long been critical of the administration of British Prime Minister Tony Blair and his New Labour Party, with Blair's "alleged perfidy" among the topics of their 1997 breakout album, *Tubthumper*. At the 1998 Brit Awards, band member Danbert Nobacon leaned into the face of the Prime Minister's wife, Cherie Blair, to sing the line "New Labour have sold out the dockers", and later at the show threw water in the face of deputy Prime Minister John Prescott as revenge for his resisting calls to recognize the Liverpool dock workers' strike. Group vocalist Alice Nutter later revealed that the band had hoped that Blair himself would be present at the awards show, telling the *Mirror* that "We hate the Labour Party \[…\] because they've sold out. They're rubbish. We hoped Tony Blair would be \[at the awards show\] so we could all go up and spit in his bubbly."

## Composition and lyrics

The *Guardian* described the song as a "retro tale of puppy love with a double-crossing dreamboat". Its lyrics include "Tony, now you date/All the girls that you used to hate/So I don't believe a single word you say."

## Single art

The cover art pays tribute to the iconic artwork of Elvis Presley's debut album, which was also referenced by The Clash's *London Calling* album cover.

## Backlash

Rupert Perry, the head of EMI Records UK at the time, was reportedly very displeased with the band for issuing the single, and sent them a letter which included the statement "I actually think Tony is really fab". All copies of the CD in EMI offices were later confiscated. The song can be downloaded in mp3 format from the band's website.

# Valentine Dyall

**Valentine Dyall** (7 May 1908 – 24 June 1985) was an English character actor. He worked regularly as a voice actor, and was known for many years as "The Man in Black", the narrator of the BBC Radio horror series *Appointment with Fear*.

He was the son of the actor Franklin Dyall and the actress and author Mary Phyllis Joan Logan, who acted and wrote as Concordia Merrel.

## 1930s to 1950s

In 1934, Dyall appeared with his father, actor Franklin Dyall, at the Manchester Hippodrome in Sir Oswald Stoll's presentation of Shakespeare's *Henry V*, playing the roles of the Archbishop of Canterbury, Captain Gower, and a cardinal of France. He also appeared in one movie with his father, the 1943 spy thriller *Yellow Canary*; Dyall's part was that of a German U-boat commander attempting to kidnap a British agent from a ship in the Atlantic, while his father played the ship's captain.

In the same year he had a small role as a German officer in *The Life and Death of Colonel Blimp* and, the following year, played the Duke of Burgundy in Laurence Olivier's film version of *Henry V*.

In 1946, he appeared, uncredited, as the character Stephen Lynn in the romantic film drama *Brief Encounter*; Lynn is protagonist Alec Harvey's friend whose unexpected arrival spoils Alec's opportunity of consummating his romance.

Dyall's film career peaked in the late 1940s; in 1949 he appeared in 12 films in that single year. However, those film roles varied greatly in size: two of them were leading roles (in *Doctor Morelle* and *Vengeance Is Mine*) whilst several others were just bit parts.

During the 1950s, Dyall made several guest appearances in episodes of the BBC Home Service radio comedy series *The Goon Show*, parodying his familiar radio persona.

In 1960, he played the witch Jethrow Keane in *The City of the Dead* (known as *Horror Hotel* in the United States).

## 1960s

Dyall appeared in Robert Wise's 1963 film *The Haunting* as Mr. Dudley, the sinister caretaker of the haunted Hill House. Also that year, he played the central character Lord Fortnum in Spike Milligan and John Antrobus's stage play *The Bedsitting Room*, set in the aftermath of nuclear war. The play opened at the Mermaid Theatre on 31 January. Dyall narrated the mondo documentary *The Mystery and the Pleasure* in 1966, and part-narrated the pseudo-documentary *The Naked World of Harrison Marks* in 1967. In the same year he voiced the character of evil mastermind Dr. Noah in the James Bond parody film *Casino Royale*; as well as the unseen God in Faust Legend-inspired comedy *Bedazzled*, for which he was uncredited. He later provided the voice of the mummy narrator in *Secrets of Sex* (1969).

With Dusty Springfield, Dyall co-hosted the BBC music variety series *Decidedly Dusty* in 1969; no complete episode has survived.

## 1970s and 1980s

In 1975, at London's Royal Court Theatre, Dyall played Dr. Rance in a major revival of Joe Orton's play *What the Butler Saw*. Between 1977 and 1979, he appeared as Dr. Pascal Keldermans in the BBC television series *Secret Army*. He was in the cast of the BBC's *Doctor Who* to portray the Black Guardian in several serials (*The Armageddon Factor* from 1979 and the *Mawdryn Undead* / *Terminus* / *Enlightenment* trilogy in 1983). At around the same time as *The Armageddon Factor*, he featured in the radio version of *The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy*, playing Gargravarr. In the TV and LP versions, he voiced the computer Deep Thought. He also played the character Norl in the *Blake's 7* episode "City at the Edge of the World" and Lord Angus in the 1983 *Black Adder* episode "Witchsmeller Pursuivant". Also in 1983, he joined many other *Doctor Who* cast and crew members at Longleat for the show's 20th anniversary celebrations.

In 1984, Dyall appeared in the BBC *Miss Marple* episode "The Body in the Library". His last role on television was as Marcade in the BBC Television Shakespeare production of *Love's Labour's Lost*. His role as Captain Slarn in the *Doctor Who* radio serial *Slipback* was recorded on 10 June 1985, just 14 days before his death, and was broadcast posthumously.

# Vũ Khanh

**Vũ Khanh** or **Vũ Công Khanh** (born April 1, 1954, in Hanoi) is a Vietnamese singer.

## Biography

Vũ Khanh was born in a family of 11 children - and was the only one to follow a profession in singing. He graduated from the last class of the Saigon National School of Music and Drama. Despite his passion for music, his family could only afford him to study drama due to poverty.

For many years, Vũ Khanh performed in cafes, clubs, and restaurants - before he was able to sing in the professional Ritz tea room (1978). He started to come into people's attention after performing the song "Cô hàng nước" at a music festival in San Diego (USA) in 1978.

Vũ Khanh's best co-star is Ý Lan, the daughter of singer Thái Thanh.

### Reception

Composer Từ Công Phụng rated him as one of the best male oversea vocalists: "In terms male singers overseas, I currently recognize two talented and attractive vocalists, Tuấn Ngọc and Vũ Khanh." Many people compare Vũ Khanh with the male singer Sĩ Phú, due to similarities in their voice and performing style. He is also known for his performance of songs composed by famous musicians such as Trầm Tử Thiêng, Phạm Duy, Vũ Thành An, Từ Công Phụng, Song Ngọc, etc.

# Stompa (song)

"**Stompa**" is a song performed by Canadian singer/songwriter Serena Ryder. The song was written by Ryder and Jerrod Bettis for Ryder's sixth studio album, *Harmony* (2012). The song was released as the lead single from the album in September 2012 in Canada, and then in February 2013 in the United States. On February 15, 2013, a French version of the song was released to Canadian iTunes.

## Lyrics and composition

Lyrically, the song speaks about how music can be a remedy for most of life's problems — that people should "clappa" their hands and "stompa" their feet. On the track, Ryder said "it's about encouraging people to get outside of their heads and realize that everybody’s got problems and everybody's got issues and life is hard but music can really help you out".

## Critical reception

"Stompa" received mostly favorable reviews, with the *Montreal Gazette* calling the song "infectious" and "almost Broadway-ready", while the *Hamilton Spectator* praised the fact that the song could be played on four different radio formats (modern rock, hot adult contemporary, contemporary hit radio and adult contemporary). The *Toronto Star* also took note of the fact that the song had been playlisted on virtually every single commercial radio station in the Toronto market; in the same article, Astral Media executive Rob Farina described the song as "a mashup of The Black Keys and Adele." The *New York Times* called it "a new song of summer" for 2013.

However, writer Elio Iannacci of the now defunct *The Grid* gave the song a negative review, saying the song was "hard to forgive" and "easy to forget".

"Stompa" was used in a commercial for Cadillac SRX and also used in Grey's Anatomy.

## Music video

The official music video for the track premiered on December 21, 2012 on MuchMusic, and was uploaded to Ryder's official VEVO channel on January 23, 2013. In the video, a little girl named Violet portrays a younger Ryder shooting arrows at symbols indicating the four elements. These shots are intercut with other girls shooting arrows, as well as shots of Ryder performing the song with her guitar in a shadowy white room. On the day of its premiere, a behind-the-scenes video was uploaded on MuchMusic's website. In that video, Ryder explained that the video is based on the same idea as her album, that if you separate yourself into one element, you will not succeed; you will only succeed if you bring in all of the elements together.
