neg: Zack Hemsey Zack Hemsey ( born 1983 ) is an American recording artist , rapper and composer , whose work has been largely popularized through its use in films and film trailers . A notable example was `` Trailer 3 '' of the 2010 movie Inception which included his composed piece `` Mind Heist '' ; it is a common misconception that the piece for this trailer was composed by Hans Zimmer because Zimmer composed the official score for the movie itself . `` Mind Heist '' was also used for the introduction video for the video game Madden NFL 12 and is sometimes used by the show `` America 's Got Talent '' . Hemsey 's music has also been used in trailers for 2 Guns , The Town , and Lincoln . `` Vengeance '' was featured in the movie The Equalizer , in a trailer for the second season of the HBO program Game of Thrones , and the trailer for the 21st Century Fox miniseries `` 24 : Live Another Day '' , the latter airing during the 2014 Super Bowl .   Hemsey began his career as the composer for an obscure hip-hop group called Nine Leaves , where he was also one of five lyricists / MCs . He began a solo career in 2010 with the release of `` Empty Room '' and has continued to independently release his own Epic Music studio albums and singles , all of which tend to combine elements of orchestral score , hip-hop , world instrumentation , and/or alternative/rock .   Hemsey has written articles on a variety of subject matter , which he has published on his personal blog , Thoughts & Ramblings . Topics have included MMA , the birth of his child and a research paper on a rare GBS infection that can occur in newborn babies .

neg: The International House of Mojo The International House of Mojo ( often called Mixnmojo ) is a website focused on LucasArts video games . It later expanded to cover studios founded by former LucasArts employees , including Double Fine Productions , Telltale Games , Autumn Moon Entertainment and Crackpot Entertainment . It was founded in 1997 by James Spafford and is among the longest-running `` fan sites '' on the internet .   Mixnmojo once enjoyed an active relationship with LucasArts , and reviews have occasionally been quoted in the company 's marketing such as on the cover of the UK release of Monkey Island Special Edition Collection . The site was also referenced in the book Rogue Leaders : The Story of LucasArts , and staff has been interviewed by the gaming press .   Developers highlighted by the site have often reciprocated its fondness . Tim Schafer of Double Fine Productions called Mixnmojo their `` friendly friends '' and praised the staff for their knowledge . At E3 2003 , in order to make light of an extended downtime the site was experiencing , staffers in attendance playfully cajoled then-producer Dan Pettit of LucasArts into appearing in a video painting him as complicit in the site 's technical woes . The site once even received permission from LucasArts to pull an elaborate April Fools prank that announced a fictional fifth Monkey Island installment ( at the time , the series only had four games ) complete with fake cover art and sound files of Dominic Armato performing dialog invented by the staff .   Though created as an all-encompassing LucasArts site , Mixnmojo has always favored the studio 's original titles , particularly its classic graphic adventure games , over the more popular Star Wars products . This at times strained the relationship with the company . As the site featured the unregulated opinions of its contributors rather a unified editorial point of view , it quickly established an endearingly quirky , if occasionally abrasive , tone in its editorials and news posts .   After the turn of the century , LucasArts began shifting away from original properties and the adventure genre in particular , culminating in the cancellation of Sam & Max : Freelance Police in 2004 . In response to this , Mixnmojo began broadening its coverage to include studios operated by LucasArts alumni that they believe continue the creative spirit abandoned by the original company .   LucasArts was eventually shut down soon after Lucasfilm was purchased by Disney in 2012 . Its oldest fan site remains active as an information hub for LucasArts legacy titles , which have remained topical due to their continued influence , remakes and re-releases , as well as a news source for games produced by key LucasArts alumni .

neg: Fans4Writers Fans4Writers is a fan activist movement which supported the striking writers of the WGA during the 2007 Writers Guild of America strike . The organization was not associated with the WGA , and indeed was notable for its unprecedented show of solidarity by individuals who were neither directly involved in contract negotiations , nor had a financial stake in the outcome .   While the group was first proposed by fans of Joss Whedon , it came to embrace more than 40 self-identified fandoms . They called themselves `` fans of TV shows and movies , fans of actors , fans of directors , fans of producers , crew and everyone involved in the team effort of crafting wonder . But most of all we are fans of writers , because they are where the wonder begins . They write the words we remember , they create the characters we love , they think up the lines that stay with us forever . As supporters of the people behind the scenes , who develop and write the stories that have meant so much to so many , we wanted to do something tangible to show them that we support the Writers Guild of America strike . ''   Fans4Writers solicitied financial support for its activities , which included bringing food to picket lines and skywriting messages of support at the Rose Bowl . Money left over after the strike was contributed to the WGA Strike Fund .   The organization stated its support for `` the writers in their fight for fair treatment and equitable pay ... with our thoughts , with food deliveries , with money , and we will pick up signs and march with them until a resolution is found . We do it in appreciation , and because it 's right . ''   The Internet-based fan movement received some online press coverage ancillary to the strike itself , and Brenda Lawhorn , Fans4writers ' Campaign Coordinator , was interviewed on Public Radio International 's Fair Game .   However , WGA member and Battlestar Galactica writer Jane Espenson was quoted on fan involvement :  `` I 'm not sure that -LSB- fan involvement -RSB- , which is so clear on the Internet , is being made as clear as it could be in the mainstream press ... it 's the stuff with the mainstream , grassroots fans who come out in amazing numbers and send us food on the picket lines every day ... that 's a bigger part of our everyday strike experience than the involvement of the movie stars . ''   The organization 's existence and activities highlighted one of the main sticking points in the contract negotiations -- the significance of the Internet and other `` new media '' distribution channels . The fan involvement in the strike could also be seen as an outgrowth of trends in which the audience had become more vocal as consumers of entertainment . Striking writers closed the circle by soliciting fan action on their behalf and specifically referring those upset at the loss of their favorite programs to the Fans4writers website , alongside the WGA 's own strike site , in order to register their sentiments and become involved .   Successful use of the internet to organize `` save our show '' campaigns had garnered significant attention , as when supporters of Jericho inundated CBS with grievances in protest of the program 's cancellation . This and other similar fan-organized publicity stunts on behalf of television shows appeared to have inspired WGA strikers themselves to undertake a similar campaign of sending pencils to the CEOs of the media conglomerates in a position to influence the Alliance of Motion Picture and Television Producers .   Fans4Writers received designation as Yahoo.com 's Site of the Day on November 21 , 2007 .

neg: List of tallest buildings in Oklahoma City There are more than 50 tall buildings in Oklahoma City , most of which stand in the central business district . In the city , 17 buildings stand 250 ft and taller . The tallest building in Oklahoma City , and in Oklahoma , is the 50-story Devon Tower , which rises 844 ft in the central business district . Other notable skyscrapers are Chase Tower and First National Center , which stand as the second and third-tallest buildings in Oklahoma City , respectively . Six of the 10 tallest buildings in Oklahoma are located in Oklahoma City .   The history of skyscrapers in Oklahoma City began with the completion of the Colcord Hotel , Oklahoma City 's first skyscraper . After oil was discovered in the area , the population of Oklahoma City grew significantly . As a result the city 's skyline expanded , which featured a `` race to the top '' with the synchronous construction of First National Center and City Place Tower in the central business district . Contemporary skyscrapers began to be built in the north and west sides of Oklahoma City , and later in the downtown area . In 1993 , Oklahoma City voters approved the MAPS ( Metropolitan Area Projects ) program , which featured the construction of several distinct domestic facilities and restorations and expansions of other older ones . It was completed in 2004 and is deemed to be the first program of its kind for a city the size of Oklahoma City .   The Devon Tower , which was completed in 2012 , has overtaken the Chase Tower as the tallest building in Oklahoma City with a height of 844 ft. It has also become the tallest building in the state of Oklahoma , surpassing the BOK Tower in Tulsa . The 50-story building occupies over 1800000 sqft and had an estimated construction cost of $ 750 million ( USD ) .

neg: Governor's Mansion (Shawnee, Oklahoma) The Governor 's Mansion in Shawnee , Oklahoma was built in 1903 , on the speculation that Shawnee would be selected as the state capital and that this structure would become the Governor 's official residence when Oklahoma became a state . However , Oklahoma did not attain statehood until 1907 , and the Legislature chose Guthrie as the first capital , before naming Oklahoma City as the permanent state capital in 1910 .   The house was built in an area known as Shawnee 's first neighborhood , '' ... where the first generation of merchants , town leaders and early professionals lived . ''   The house was never used as the Governor 's Mansion . Once it was clear that Shawnee would not become the state capital , the mansion became just another private residence . It is also known as the Giza House , because it was once owned by Zygmund O. Giza . It is still considered a local landmark and local residents still refer to it as the Governor 's Mansion . It was registered with the National Register of Historic Places in 1983 .

neg: Slapout, Oklahoma Slapout is a small unincorporated community in Beaver County , Oklahoma , United States . The land upon which part of the town sits was homesteaded by Joseph L. Johnston . It sits on the northwest corner of the land Johnson had acquired with a government claim in 1904 , three years before Oklahoma became a state .   With the construction of Highway Three across Oklahoma during the Great Depression , Tom Lemmons , who had bought the Johnson homestead , moved a chicken coop to where the highway passed his land . In the chicken coop he started a store . He told the Tulsa Tribune he had nothing else to do during the depression , so he thought he 'd start a town . He named his town Nye , after the Progressive U.S. Senator Gerald Nye ( R-ND ) .   The name Slapout , according to local legend , came about because customers at the store in Nye were often told by Lemmon 's sister that the store was `` slapout '' of whatever they wanted . Tom Lemmons insisted his sister never used the phrase . However , the name stuck . When Tom continued to insist his side of the highway was called Nye , patrons responded that the south side of the highway could be `` Slapout '' and the north side with Lemmon 's store was `` Nye Out . ''   Tom Lemmons finally gave in when a tornado came through town and only took out his Nye sign . After that the both sides were known as Slapout . At one time , the town had 10 inhabitants and included the Hagan Grocery on the south side of the highway . Lemmons also built a building to house his rock collection .   Today the gas station in the town is a regular stop for Tulsa and Oklahoma City skiers traveling to Colorado .   The town was featured in a newspaper photo essay by Robert R. Mercer in the Tulsa Tribune in the 1970s .

query: Wyatt Earp's first wife contracted typhoid fever in 1870.

pos: Wyatt Earp Wyatt Berry Stapp Earp ( March 19 , 1848 -- January 13 , 1929 ) was an American Old West gambler , a deputy sheriff in Pima County , and deputy town marshal in Tombstone , Arizona Territory , who took part in the gunfight at the O.K. Corral , during which lawmen killed three outlaw cowboys . He is often regarded as the central figure in the shootout in Tombstone , although his brother Virgil was Tombstone city marshal and Deputy U.S. Marshal that day , and had far more experience as a sheriff , constable , marshal , and soldier in combat .   Earp lived a restless life . He was at different times a constable , city policeman , county sheriff , Deputy U.S. Marshal , teamster , buffalo hunter , bouncer , saloon-keeper , gambler , brothel keeper , miner , and boxing referee . Earp spent his early life in Iowa . In 1870 , Earp married his first wife , Urilla Sutherland Earp , who contracted typhoid fever and died shortly before their first child was to be born . During the next two years Earp was arrested for stealing a horse , escaped from jail , sued twice , and was arrested and fined three times during the course of 1872 for `` keeping and being found in a house of ill-fame '' . His third arrest was subject of a lengthy account in the `` Daily Transcript '' which referred to him as an `` old offender '' and nicknamed him the `` Peoria Bummer '' .   By 1874 he had arrived in the cattle boomtown of Wichita , Kansas where his brother had opened a brothel . On April 21 , 1875 he was appointed to the Wichita police force , and developed a solid reputation as a lawman . In April 1876 he was dismissed from his position as a lawman following an altercation with a political opponent of his boss which led to him being fined $ 30 . In 1876 , he followed his brother James to Dodge City , Kansas , where he became an assistant city marshal . In winter 1878 , he went to Texas to track down an outlaw and met John `` Doc '' Holliday , whom Earp later credited with saving his life .   Earp moved constantly throughout his life from one boomtown to another . He left Dodge City in 1879 and moved to Tombstone with his brothers James and Virgil , where a silver boom was underway . There , the Earps clashed with a loose federation of outlaws known as the Cowboys . Wyatt , Virgil , and their younger brother Morgan held various law enforcement positions that put them in conflict with Tom and Frank McLaury , and Ike and Billy Clanton , who threatened on several occasions to kill the Earps . The conflict escalated over the next year , culminating on October 26 , 1881 in the gunfight at the O.K. Corral , in which the Earps and Holliday killed three of the Cowboys . In the next five months , Virgil was ambushed and maimed , and Morgan was assassinated . Pursuing a vendetta , Wyatt , his brother Warren , Holliday , and others formed a federal posse that killed three of the Cowboys whom they thought responsible . Wyatt was never wounded in any of the gunfights in which he took part , unlike his brothers Virgil and James , or his friend , Doc Holliday , which only added to his mystique after his death .   Earp was a lifelong gambler and was always looking for a quick way to make money . After leaving Tombstone , Earp went to San Francisco where he reunited with Josephine Earp . She became his common-law wife . They joined a gold rush to Eagle City , Idaho , where they owned mining interests and a saloon . They left there to race horses and open a saloon during a real estate boom in San Diego , California . Back in San Francisco , Wyatt raced horses again , but his reputation suffered irreparably when he refereed the Fitzsimmons-Sharkey boxing match and called a foul that led many to believe that he fixed the fight . They moved briefly to Yuma , Arizona before joining the Nome Gold Rush in 1899 . In partnership with Charlie Hoxie they opened a two-story saloon called the Dexter and made an estimated $ 80,000 ( about $ 2 million in 2017 dollars ) . Returning to the lower 48 , they opened another saloon in Tonopah , Nevada , the site of a new gold find . In about 1911 , Earp began working several mining claims in Vidal , California , retiring in the hot summers with Josephine to Los Angeles .   Wyatt Earp died on January 13 , 1929 . He was known as a Western lawman , gunfighter , and boxing referee . He had a notorious reputation for both his handling of the Fitzsimmons-Sharkey fight and his role in the O.K. Corral gunfight . This only began to change after his death when an extremely flattering biography was published in 1931 . It became a bestseller and created his reputation as a fearless lawman . Since then , Earp has been the subject of and model for numerous films , TV shows , biographies , and works of fiction that have increased his notoriety . He did , however , live to see himself being portrayed in the film Wild Bill Hickok , released in 1923 . Long after his death , he has many devoted detractors and admirers . Earp 's modern-day reputation is that of the Old West 's `` toughest and deadliest gunman of his day . ''

neg: Fred J. Dodge Frederick J. Dodge ( August 29 , 1854 -- December 16 , 1938 ) was an undercover Wells Fargo detective , a constable in Tombstone , Arizona , and Texas cattleman . He was born in Spring Valley in northern Butte County , California and was raised in Sacramento .   He worked as undercover agent for Wells Fargo in California , Nevada and Arizona . In December 1879 , he was working in Tombstone , Arizona and recommended that Wyatt Earp be hired as a guard and messenger for the stage line . The two quickly became good friends and Dodge supported Wyatt and his brothers in their troubles in Tombstone that led up to the Gunfight at the O.K. Corral and afterward . He and Wyatt remained friends the rest of their lives .

neg: Quanah Parker Star House The Quanah Parker Star House , with stars painted on its roof , is located in the city of Cache , county of Comanche , in the U.S. state of Oklahoma . It was added to the National Register of Historic Places listings in Comanche County , Oklahoma , in 1970 .   Built by Comanche chief Quanah Parker circa 1890 , the structure was purchased by his daughter Laura Neda Parker Birdsong upon Parker 's 1911 death . Originally located near the Wichita Mountains north of Cache on Fort Sill 's west range , Birdsong moved the house from its original location to Cache and sold it to Herbert Woesner in 1958 . Although no one can be certain why Parker painted the stars on his roof , lore has it that he meant it as a display of rank and importance equal to a military general . The current owner , Woesner 's nephew Wayne Gipson , offered the explanation told to him by Parker 's descendants that the Chief had been to Washington D.C. to speak with Theodore Roosevelt , and while there had stayed in a `` five star hotel '' . Parker had 10 stars painted on his roof to explain to Roosevelt upon his arrival that he would have better accommodations with ten stars instead of five . The Preservation Oklahoma organization has listed the Star House as endangered .   After Parker 's surrender in 1875 , he lived for many years in a reservation tipi . Parker decided that he needed living quarters more befitting his status among the Comanches , and more suitable to his position as a spokesperson for the white cattle owners . In order to accommodate his multiple wives and children , this two-story eight-bedroom clapboard house with ten-foot ceilings and a picket fence was constructed for Parker . Request for financial assistance was denied by the United States government . Parker 's friends in the cattle business , in particular 6666 Ranch owner Samuel Burk Burnett , financed the building of the house . The cost of construction was slightly over $ 2,000 ( $ 48,000 in 2010 , adjusted for inflation ) . In his formal wallpapered dining room with its wood-burning stove , Parker entertained white business associates , celebrities and tribal members alike . Among his celebrated visitors was Theodore Roosevelt . Parker was a founding supporter of the Native American Church . His home was often the scene of practitioners who sought him out for spiritual advice . Parker fed hungry tribal members in his home and was known to never turn away anyone .

neg: Edna Gallmon Cooke Madame Edna Gallmon Cooke ( 1918 - September 4 , 1967 ) was a renowned gospel singer and recording artist from 1949 until her death in 1967 . Personal information about Ms. Cooke is scarce and most of her biographical details have been gleaned from the liner notes of her various albums . Ms. Gallmon Cooke is best known for her recordings of `` Stop Gambler '' and `` Heavy Load '' .   Born in Columbia , South Carolina in 1918 , the daughter of a Baptist preacher , Reverend Eddie J. Gallmon also a former pastor at Bethlehem Baptist Church ( College place ) . Edna Gallmon Cooke was more formally educated and musically trained than most of her gospel peers . As a young adult , she lived and studied in Washington D.C. and Philadelphia , attending Temple University and briefly teaching elementary school . She had contemplated a career in semi-classics and show tunes when she underwent a musical conversion of sorts after hearing gospel singer , Willie Mae Ford Smith in the late 1930s . `` I was shocked . The woman sang with such finesse ... I knew I had to be a gospel singer . '' Shortly after , Ms. Gallmon Cooke joined the Holiness Church and became preeminently consecrated -- with the Holiness Church bestowing the honorific ` Madame ' to her name to announce her devotion .   During the 1940s , Madame Gallmon Cooke toured the Southeast , billed as the `` Sweetheart of the Potomac '' . She performed hymns and gospel songs in the manner of Willie Mae Ford Smith , but her mezzo-soprano could not duplicate Smith 's contralto blasts . Elaborating on that style , Gallmon Cooke returned to familiar sources , popularizing the sermonettes and spirituals her father Eddie Gallmon had performed in the 1920s . Madame Gallmon Cooke became a `` transcendent moaner and a mistress of what note-bending musicologists call melisma and church folks call curlicues , runs and flowers and frills . '' Ms. Cooke began recording in the late 1940s for the Nashboro Recording Label in Nashville , TN usually accompanied by her father 's choir , The Young People 's Choir of the Springfield Baptist Church of Washington , DC . Her later recordings included male vocal groups .   Madame Gallmon Cooke 's commanding switch in styles occurred after her marriage to Barney Parks , Jr. , a former member of The Dixie Hummingbirds and a founder of The Sensational Nightingales . They had met in 1951 when Marie Knight , Rosetta Tharpe 's old partner , organized a tour featuring herself , Cooke , and The Nightingales . Under Park 's management and direction , Madame Edna Gallmon Cooke became a household name in gospel . It is suspected that the name Cooke was from her first marriage which ended because of the death of her husband .   The liner notes to `` Mother Smith and Her Children '' describes Madame Cooke as `` an exquisite stylist , with a sensuous appeal akin to Billie Holiday . She is referred to as rap music 's gospel progenitor ; a penchant for rhymed , spoken chants produced her most famous recordings . ''   Ms. Cooke died in Philadelphia , Pennsylvania on September 4 , 1967 . She was 49 years old .

neg: Sloane Hospital for Women The Sloane Hospital for Women is the obstetrics and gynecology service within New York-Presbyterian Hospital and the Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology of the Columbia University College of Physicians and Surgeons in New York City .   Sloane Maternity Hospital was founded in 1886 based upon a donation from William D. Sloane and his wife , Emily Thorn Vanderbilt , the granddaughter of Cornelius Vanderbilt , to Columbia P&S . It was located on the P&S campus in Midtown Manhattan at Amsterdam Avenue and 59th Street , serving as a teaching facility for P&S students , and opened its doors in early 1888 . It soon established a reputation for superior sanitary practices and low mortality rates ; it also linked obstetrics with gynecology , the first hospital in the country to do so . The facility changed its name to Sloane Hospital for Women in 1910 . In 1911 , a new surgical building was added , also funded by the Sloanes .   In 1925 , it became part of Presbyterian Hospital , which was operating in affiliation with P&S . During 1928 , it moved with the Hospital to its present location on 168th Street in the Washington Heights area of northern Manhattan . There it maintained its name while occupying several floors of the Presbyterian Hospital building . The Hospital is now part of NewYork-Presbyterian / Morgan Stanley Children 's Hospital still in use today .   In its role as both a research and clinical facility , the Sloane Hospital for Women has pioneered many advances in the field , including the Apgar score , the use of rhogam , and amniocentesis .   In February 1915 , an outbreak of typhoid occurred among twenty-five nurses and attendants in the hospital , two of whom later died . The outbreak was later traced to Typhoid Mary , who had violated an agreement she had made with the city not to return to the cooking profession . -LSB- CITATION NEEDED -RSB-   Notable people born at Sloane include National Geographic photographer Gordon Gahan and former First Lady of the United States Nancy Reagan .

neg: Pertussis Pertussis ( also known as whooping cough or 100-day cough ) is a highly contagious bacterial disease . Initially , symptoms are usually similar to those of the common cold with a runny nose , fever , and mild cough . This is then followed by weeks of severe coughing fits . Following a fit of coughing , a high-pitched whoop sound or gasp may occur as the person breathes in . The coughing may last for 10 or more weeks , hence the phrase `` 100-day cough '' . A person may cough so hard that they vomit , break ribs , or become very tired from the effort . Children less than one year old may have little or no cough and instead have periods where they do not breathe . The time between infection and the onset of symptoms is usually seven to ten days . Disease may occur in those who have been vaccinated , but symptoms are typically milder .   Pertussis is caused by the bacterium Bordetella pertussis . It is an airborne disease which spreads easily through the coughs and sneezes of an infected person . People are infectious to others from the start of symptoms until about three weeks into the coughing fits . Those treated with antibiotics are no longer infectious after five days . Diagnosis is by collecting a sample from the back of the nose and throat . This sample can then be tested by either culture or by polymerase chain reaction .   Prevention is mainly by vaccination with the pertussis vaccine . Initial immunization is recommended between six and eight weeks of age , with four doses to be given in the first two years of life . The vaccine becomes less effective over time , with additional doses often recommended for older children and adults . Antibiotics may be used to prevent the disease in those who have been exposed and are at risk of severe disease . In those with the disease , antibiotics are useful if started within three weeks of the initial symptoms , but otherwise have little effect in most people . In children less than one year old and among those who are pregnant , they are recommended within six weeks of symptom onset . Antibiotics used include erythromycin , azithromycin , clarithromycin , or trimethoprim/sulfamethoxazole . Evidence to support interventions , other than antibiotics , for the cough is poor . Many children less than a year of age require hospitalization .   An estimated 16.3 million people worldwide were infected in 2015 . Most cases occur in the developing world , and people of all ages may be affected . In 2015 , it resulted in 58,700 deaths -- down from 138,000 deaths in 1990 . Nearly 0.5 % of infected children less than one year of age die . Outbreaks of the disease were first described in the 16th century . The bacterium that causes the infection was discovered in 1906 . The pertussis vaccine became available in the 1940s .

She traveled to the Sea Islands of South Carolina with her father in 1862 while the Civil War was still raging , serving as his secretary as he gathered information on the conditions for newly freed slaves for the Philadelphia Port Royal Relief Committee . This exposed her to the music of former slaves just after they had been freed , a time of great social change . Her work in Port Royal , South Carolina constitutes the first attempt to systematically describe the characteristics of African American spirituals .   She married Wendell Phillips Garrison in Philadelphia on December 6 , 1865 , and died in West Orange , New Jersey of heart disease after a long illness culminating in paralysis . She was survived by her husband and three children .

neg: Yellow fever vaccine Yellow fever vaccine is a vaccine that protects against yellow fever . Yellow fever is a viral infection that occurs in Africa and South America . Most people begin to develop immunity within ten days and 99 % are protected within one month of vaccination and this appears to be lifelong . The vaccine can be used to control outbreaks of disease . It is given either by injection into a muscle or just under the skin .   The World Health Organization ( WHO ) recommends routine immunization in all countries where the disease is common . This should typically occur between nine and twelve months of age . Those travelling to areas where the disease occurs should also be immunized . Additional doses after the first are generally not needed .   Yellow fever vaccine is generally safe . This includes in those with HIV infection but without symptoms . Mild side effects may include headache , muscle pains , pain at the injection site , fever , and rash . Severe allergies occur in about eight per million doses , serious neurological problems occur in about four per million doses , and organ failure occurs in about three per million doses . It is likely safe in pregnancy and therefore recommended among those who will be potentially exposed . It should not be given to those with very poor immune function .   Yellow fever vaccine came into use in 1938 . It is on the World Health Organization 's List of Essential Medicines , the most effective and safe medicines needed in a health system . The wholesale price in the developing world is between US$ 4.30 and US$ 21.30 per dose as of 2014 . In the United States it costs between US$ 50 and US$ 100 . The vaccine is made from weakened yellow fever virus . Some countries require a yellow fever vaccination certificate before entry from a country where the disease is common .

neg: Eleanor Cripps Kennedy Eleanor Eliza Cripps Kennedy ( 1825 -- 1913 ) was a Canadian businesswoman , musician , artist , and author .   Born in London , England , on 2 November 1825 , Kennedy emigrated to the Red River Settlement ( now Manitoba ) with her husband William Kennedy in 1861 to establish a mission school for the Church of England . Though they tried to return to England in 1862 , they were trapped by a Sioux uprising in Minnesota that prevented them from leaving the province by their intended route . After returning to Red River , the couple imported the second piano to appear in the settlement , on which Kennedy performed . They built the first frame house in Manitoba in 1866 , which they called `` Maple Grove '' . Kennedy organized a clothing club during the `` severe grasshopper plagues of the later 1860s '' . Known locally as `` The Duchess '' , she was heavily involved in efforts to open a hospital in the settlement .   The Kennedys were next caught up in the Red River Rebellion in 1869 -- Eleanor was said to have personally delivered a letter to Louis Riel asking him to stop the fighting . `` Distressing '' gossip arose that she had petitioned for the life of Riel and demanded the death of Thomas Scott . She appealed to Robert Machray to address the source of the rumours , her parish priest , from whom she refused to take communion ; she threatened to leave the church if this was not done , and Machray had the priest apologize .   After the entrance of the province of Manitoba into Canadian Confederation , Kennedy established a millinery business to import clothing and foodstuffs , which provided the family with financial support while William was stricken with rheumatism . While it was initially successful , `` William began stocking inferior products , accepting land deeds and scrip in payment '' , resulting in its eventual failure . William died in January 1890 . Kennedy moved to Virden , Manitoba , where she painted nature works , played organ at the local church , and wrote poetry . She died on 4 October 1913 and was buried in St. Andrews , Manitoba .

neg: Witton Isolation Hospital Witton Isolation Hospital was a facility for the treatment and quarantine of smallpox victims and their contacts in Birmingham , England . Built around 1900 , it was initially in a semi-rural district but by the 1930s the site was surrounded by the newly built Kingstanding and Perry Common social housing developments . It occupied the site now enclosed by College Road , Brackenbury Road and Plumstead Road . The hospital was used sporadically during the 20th century , particularly during the outbreak of smallpox that occurred in the city in 1962 . The last cases quarantined there were during January and February 1966 , following an outbreak that originated at the University of Birmingham Medical School .   In May 1966 , the hospital 's resident caretaker resigned and the facility of ten buildings was left unguarded except for the ten feet high perimeter wall . In the middle of 1966 , local children broke in , causing some vandalism . Birmingham 's Chief Medical Officer , Ernest Millar , was contacted by a local resident who had regularly seen the children from the top seats of a double-decker bus . Dr Millar ordered the facility to be destroyed by fire and on 3 May 1967 -- chosen because the wind was blowing from the south , away from the city centre -- the buildings were set ablaze by firemen of the Birmingham Fire and Ambulance Service , under the supervision of William Nicholls , Deputy Chief Medical Officer , and George Merrill , Deputy Chief Fire Officer , accompanied by representatives of the news media . Four tons of flammable material , including kerosene , waste oil and aluminium powder accelerants , were needed to burn the buildings , which were empty . A virologist from UK government microbiology laboratories at Porton Down , ( then part of the Ministry of Defence ) , was asked to conduct tests to assess the efficiency of the conflagration .   The affair was discussed in Parliament . Harold Gurden , Member of Parliament for the Selly Oak constituency in Birmingham asked The Parliamentary Secretary to the Ministry of Health , Julian Snow how such a danger could have occurred in `` a densely populated area '' , why the local residents had not been informed , was the facility going to be replaced and what evidence there was of the destruction of any remaining sources of smallpox virus by the fire . In his reply Julian Snow said :   In October 1967 an application to redevelop the site for housing was made to the Birmingham City Council , which was approved by the Council in February 1968 .   The hospital was superseded by the UK 's first National Isolation Hospital , established at nearby Catherine-de-Barnes in 1966 .

neg: Scarlet fever serum Scarlet fever serum was used beginning in November 1900 after its development in the Sero-Therapeutic Laboratory of Rudolph Hospital  in Vienna , Austria . The serum was taken from the blood of horses . Infected children were injected in their abdominal skin by Dr. Paul Moser .  Mortality rates from scarlet fever declined significantly following the use of the blood serum .   Moser at first used scarlet fever serum primarily on the most severely sick persons . After achieving positive results it was applied in the first or second day following contraction of scarlet fever . In many cases the children treated demonstrated great improvement in a very short time , with their fevers going away quickly . Moser worked with four hundred children suffering from scarlatina at St. Anne 's Hospital . The mortality rate of those he treated was 8.9 % . This compared quite favorably when measured against the 13.09 % among children in Vienna hospitals where the  scarlet fever serum was not administered . Moser 's antitoxin reduced the mortality of scarlet fever by 40 % .   At no time was the volume of serum available sufficient . As of November 1902 a strong concentrated scarlet fever serum was unavailable .
