Barrack said that his character is "clearly a pretty mixed up fella", but believes that people felt some empathy for him. He said that he researched schizophrenia and thought about things that happened in Gus' life which may have led to him acting the way he did. He believed that Gus was "almost childlike in his need to be liked and accepted."

Gus comes from a privileged background and is forced to accept a job on one of his father's oil rigs when he uses up all of his chances. Gus' inability to do his job almost causes a major oil spill and Max Hoyland (Stephen Lovatt), his supervisor, fires him. Years later, Gus arrives in Erinsborough, where Max and his family had settled down. Gus takes a look around Max's house when it is put up for auction by its owner and steals a photo. He then meets up with Max and tells him that there are no hard feelings between them.

Max helps Gus find some work at Lou's Place and Gus also starts dating Izzy Hoyland (Natalie Bassingthwaighte), despite the fact that she feels unsettled by Gus' possessiveness. Gus continues with his manipulation of the Hoyland family, by talking to Boyd (Kyal Marsh) about his girlfriend and buying Steph (Carla Bonner) a model motorbike.

He tells Izzy that she should be with him and she tells him that she lost the baby. Gus kisses her and leaves, he goes to Ramsay Street and Max tries to win his trust. Stuart Parker (Blair McDonough) appears and Gus runs off. That evening, a fire destroys the Lassiter's complex and a burnt body is discovered.

# Twist and Shout (Ash vs Evil Dead)

"**Twist and Shout**" is the seventh episode of the third season of the American comedy horror television series *Ash vs Evil Dead*, which serves as a continuation of the *Evil Dead* trilogy. It is the 27th overall episode of the series and was written by Caitlin Meares, and directed by Mark Beesley. It originally aired on the premium channel Starz on April 8, 2018.

The series is set 30 years after the events of the *Evil Dead* trilogy, and follows Ash Williams, who now works at the "Value Stop" as a simple stock boy. Having spent his life not doing anything remarkable since the events of the trilogy, Ash will have to renounce his routine existence and become a hero once more by taking up arms and facing the titular Evil Dead. In the episode, Ash accompanies Brandy to her school dance to confront Ruby, but Ruby plans to use her spawn to frame Ash.

According to Nielsen Media Research, the episode was seen by an estimated 0.136 million household viewers and gained a 0.06 ratings share among adults aged 18–49. The episode received positive reviews from critics, who praised the action sequences, revelations and ending, although some criticized the writing.

## Plot

Brandy (Arielle Carver-O'Neill) asks Ash (Bruce Campbell) for permission in attending a school dance. Ash initially refuses, but allows her to go so he can confront Ruby (Lucy Lawless) with the help of Kelly (Dana DeLorenzo), unaware that Kaya possessed her body. Meanwhile, Ruby's spawn has finally grown into its final form: Ash himself. The version, Rash, cuts his own hand and is told that he must pretend to be the original Ash.

At the cellar, Pablo (Ray Santiago) and Zoë (Emelia Burns) notice Kelly inside the rift. She informs him that Ruby killed her before their conversation is cut short, forcing Pablo to leave to warn Ash. At the school dance, as Ash sneaks into the school, Rash kills a couple in a hallway. Ash runs into him, recognizing him as Ruby's spawn. Rash flees just as a police officer arrives to arrest Ash. Meanwhile, Brandy talks to Ruby, who claims he faked her life to protect her as Ash is a demon. She allows her to leave her office, while she conspires with Kaya about breaking their trust.

Brandy runs into Rash, who happily admits to murdering a person, before scaring her off with his demon face. As she arrives at the dance, Rash appears and kills many of the students. While everyone flees, Pablo arrives at the school, where he runs into "Kelly". Noticing her behavior, Pablo headbutts her and holds her at gunpoint. Kaya takes the gun but runs out of bullets, which allows Pablo to escape. Back at the dance, the real Ash appears while Rash disappears. As part of her plan, Ruby plunges herself into Ash's chainsaw to "kill" herself and frame Ash. With her dying breath, she tells Brandy that she must stop Ash.

Running through the school, Pablo finds Rash. However, by touching him, realizes that he is not Ash, prompting Rash to attack him. Back at the dance, angered by Ruby's death, Brandy prepares to kill Ash with the Kandarian Dagger. However, she is unable to go through it and drops the dagger. Rash and Pablo enter the room as they fight, making Brandy see Ash's innocence. With his shotgun, Ash executes Rash. An enraged Ruby rises, shocking the school, condemning Ash. Ash prepares to finally kill her, when she throws the dagger at him. Brandy blocks it and is stabbed in the back, dying from her wounds. Ruby flees the school while Ash grieves for his daughter's death. Brandy wakes up in the Deadlands, in a version of her school, and flees when she sees a shadow approaching her.

## Production

### Development

The episode was written by Caitlin Meares, and directed by Mark Beesley. It was Meares' first writing credit, and Beesley's fifth directorial credit.

## Reception

### Viewers

In its original American broadcast, "Twist and Shout" was seen by an estimated 0.136 million household viewers and gained a 0.06 ratings share among adults aged 18–49, according to Nielsen Media Research. This means that 0.06 percent of all households with televisions watched the episode. This was a 31% decrease in viewership from the previous episode, which was watched by 0.196 million viewers with a 0.07 in the 18-49 demographics.

### Critical reviews

"Twist and Shout" received positive reviews from critics. Michael Roffman of *The A.V. Club* gave the episode a "C+" grade and wrote, "Tonally, 'Twist and Shout' is as indecisive as Brandy, to the point where the gore even suffers and seems gratuitous. It's the furthest from *Evil Dead* the series has felt so far, coming off more like a meandering CW drama that's fueled by high-stakes action too serious to be funny. Granted, some these feelings may be circumstantial, seeing how a bunch of kids being sawed to pieces at school isn't something anyone wants to laugh about right now, but hey, that's never stopped the horror genre from priding itself in gleefully massacring sex-crazed teens."

Stephen Harber of *Den of Geek* gave the episode a 4 star rating out of 5 and wrote, "'Twist and Shout' is a great episode of *AvED* because it lives up to its name in more ways than one, referring to the dance event and the climactic way its plot maneuvers around itself. Revelations are made to certain members of the main cast and a major death occurs at its end, all of which once again change the course of this season’s story arc. With only three episode left in Ash's most addictive year yet, this is an impressive and frustrating turn of events."

Steve Ford of *TV Fanatic* gave the episode a 4.8 star rating out of 5 and wrote, "The much darker tone of this episode was a welcome change. You still had your typical moments of dark humor and one-liner gold from Campbell as per usual, but the recent shift in focus to the horror aspect of the series has been a nice change of pace." Bryan Kristopowitz of *411Mania* gave the episode a 7.5 out of 10 rating and wrote, "'Twist and Shout' is a disappointment for what it doesn't have in it (again, no dueling chainsaws. That should happen every single time there's a chance it could happen), but it also ups the ante for Ash and the rest of the Ghostbeaters team."

title: Ungulate bocaparvovirus 1

abstract: Ungulate bocaparvovirus 1, formerly Bovine parvovirus (BPV), also known as Haemadsorbing enteric Virus, is a member of the parvovirus group, with three significant sub-species: BPV1, 2 and 3.

Transmission is both vertical and horizontal. The virus is very resistant to chemical and physical challenges.

# Ungulate bocaparvovirus 1

***Ungulate bocaparvovirus 1***, formerly ***Bovine parvovirus*** (**BPV**), also known as **Haemadsorbing enteric Virus**, is a member of the parvovirus group, with three significant sub-species: BPV1, 2 and 3. BPV most commonly causes diarrhea in neonatal calves and respiratory and reproductive disease in adult cattle. The distribution of the virus is worldwide. Transmission is both vertical (transplacental route) and horizontal (oro-fecal route). The virus is very resistant to chemical and physical challenges.

## Clinical signs and diagnosis

Diarrhea is often the only clinical sign in neonatal calves. Reproductive infection causes abortion and the birth of weak or stillborn calves. Respiratory signs such as coughing, dyspnea, and nasal discharge also can occur.

The clinical signs of BPV may be made worse by concurrent GI infections.

Immunofluorescence (IF), PCR, hemagglutination, ELISA and electron microscopy can be used to identify the virus.

Aborted fetuses are edematous and have increased pleural and peritoneal fluid. Immunofluorescence (IF) can be used to detect the virus in fetal organs. Postmortem examination of infected calves should show intestinal lesions.

## Treatment and control

Treatment and control is achieved by vaccination of the dams during gestation. Appropriate hygiene and disinfection methods should also be employed.

# Pete Nelson

**Pete Nelson** (born June 4, 1962) is an American master treehouse builder, author, and, from 2013 to 2018, host of the Animal Planet television show *Treehouse Masters*.

## Personal life

Nelson became excited about treehouses at the age of 5 when his dad built him a tree fort behind the garage of their Ridgewood, New Jersey home, but it wasn't until 1987 that he built his first adult treehouse in his Colorado Springs backyard. He is a graduate of Colorado College in Colorado Springs.

Nelson runs Nelson Treehouse and Supply, a treehouse building and supply company, and Treehouse Point, a treehouse Bed & Breakfast located outside of Seattle. Until 2018, Nelson hosted Animal Planet’s television series, Treehouse Masters.

He lives with his wife, Judy, in Fall City, Washington and has three adult children, all of whom work in the family treehouse-building business.

## Career

In 1987, Nelson's dream of a career in treehouses was rekindled by the book *How to Build Treehouses, Huts and Forts* by David Stiles that was sent to him by a high school friend and shortly thereafter, he built his first adult treehouse in his back yard in Colorado Springs, moving to Washington State that same year, where he built homes and started writing books about treehouses.

Nelson owns and operates Nelson Treehouse & Supply in Fall City, WA, 30 miles outside of Seattle and the company is a family affair, with wife Judy, daughter Emily and sons Charlie and Henry, all involved.

The 1994 publication of *Treehouses: The Art and Craft of Living Out on a Limb* inspired him to write 5 more books on the subject. His latest book, titled *Be in a Treehouse*, details the technical aspects of building in the trees along with showcasing treehouses from all over the world.

In 1997 Nelson co-founded the Tree-House Workshop. In 2006, Nelson opened Treehouse Point, a bed-and-breakfast composed entirely of treehouses, near Fall City outside of Seattle, WA. In 2011, he founded Nelson Treehouse and Supply, a high end treehouse design, construction and supply business based out of Fall City, Washington.

In 2013, Animal Planet launched Treehouse Masters, a documentary series which shows Nelson and his crew traveling the world, building treehouses. As of 2015, the show was averaging 1.3 million viewers per episode.

In 2016, Nelson collaborated with country music star Zac Brown to build a 1,300 square foot treehouse at Brown's Camp Southern Ground, a non-profit designed to serve children with neuro-developmental disorders as well as children from military families struggling with PTSD.

Accessed September 20, 2018. "Pete Nelson’s first treehouse sat in a maple tree in his childhood home's cramped Ridgewood, New Jersey, backyard."
