query: Janet Jackson only released two albums.

pos: Janet (album) Janet ( stylized as janet . ) is the fifth studio album by American recording artist Janet Jackson , released on May 18 , 1993 , by Virgin Records America . Prior to its release , Jackson was at the center of a high-profile bidding war over her recording contract . In 1991 , her original label A&M sought to renew her contract , while others , such as Atlantic , Capitol , and Virgin all vied to sign her . After meeting with Virgin owner Richard Branson , she signed with the label for a $ 40 million contract , making her the world 's then-highest paid musical act .   Criticism that her success in the music industry was attributed to being a member of the Jackson family and a producer-dependent artist led her to write all lyrics for the album , in addition to co-producing every song and co-writing each of their arrangements with the songwriting/production duo Jimmy Jam and Terry Lewis . Its title , read `` Janet , period . '' , is meant to disassociate her public image from her family , dropping her surname . While pop and R&B had been standard components in her music , she broadened her compositions by incorporating hip hop , opera , house and jazz , eliminating the rigid , industrial sound of her previous records . Although she earned a reputation as an advocate for sexual abstinence with her 1986 single `` Let 's Wait Awhile '' , the theme of Janet is sexual intimacy -- an abrupt departure from her conservative image . Much of the acclaim for the album focused on her lyrics which emphasize a woman 's perspective on sexuality and the demand for practicing safe sex . Academics have argued the erotic imagery in her music videos released to promote the album 's singles have contributed to a higher degree of sexual freedom among women .   The album topped the record charts in the United States , Australia , New Zealand and the UK . In the US , it became the singer 's third consecutive album to top the Billboard 200 and her first to debut at number one . Selling 350,000 copies in its first week , it set a record for the highest first week sales for a female artist at that time . Certified sixfold platinum by the Recording Industry Association of America ( RIAA ) , it has sold over seven million copies in the US according to Nielsen SoundScan and an estimated 14 million copies worldwide . It cemented her as an international icon and sex symbol , and is listed by the National Association of Recording Merchandisers and the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame as one of the 200 Definitive Albums of All Time . According to Guinness World Records , it is the best-selling dance album of the 1990s .   Producing six top ten hits on the US Billboard Hot 100 singles chart , Janet remains one of only seven albums in the chart 's history to achieve that feat . `` That 's the Way Love Goes '' became Jackson 's most successful single in the US , staying atop the Hot 100 for eight weeks , as well as topping the singles charts in Australia , Canada , and New Zealand . It received two Grammy Award nominations in 1994 , winning Best R&B Song . Her ballad `` Again '' -- written for the 1993 feature film Poetic Justice -- also topped the Hot 100 and garnered nominations for the Golden Globe and Academy Award for Best Original Song . The MTV-sponsored Janet World Tour supporting the album received critical acclaim for Jackson 's elaborate stage performances , reinforcing her reputation as one of the preeminent artists of the MTV generation .

In 1991 Jackson signed the first of two record-breaking multimillion-dollar contracts with Virgin Records , establishing her as one of the highest paid artists in the industry . Her debut album under the label , Janet ( 1993 ) , saw her develop a public image as a sex symbol as she began to explore sexuality in her work . That same year , she appeared in her first starring film role in Poetic Justice ; she has continued to act in feature films . By the end of the 1990s , she was the second most successful recording artist of the decade .

neg: The Remix Suite The Remix Suite ( digital title : Michael Jackson : The Remix Suite ) is a compilation of remixed hits by Michael Jackson .

neg: Torture (The Jacksons song) `` Torture '' is the second single released off the album Victory by the band , The Jacksons . Written by Jackie Jackson and fellow Motown veteran Kathy Wakefield , the song is about someone ending a relationship and the torture that a person can receive while trying to end it . Jackie was originally going to sing the song with his brother , Michael , but Jackie 's role instead went to Jermaine Jackson , whose availability for the album was in question until the last minute . The rest of the Jacksons sang the chorus along with Michael and Jermaine .   The song received mixed reactions from critics . The video was probably best known for Michael not being available , and the use of a wax dummy in his place throughout the video . Paula Abdul replaced Perri Lister as the video 's choreographer , in which various scenes of torture are displayed with the Jacksons being on the receiving end of most of it . The shoot was an expensive and arduous affair that neither Michael nor Jermaine took part in , and it ultimately bankrupted the production company . The song peaked at # 17 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart , making it the second best selling single on the album , behind `` State of Shock '' . It also peaked at # 26 on the UK charts . This was their last single to reach the US Top 40 .

The album features background vocals from the Jackson 5 on `` Did n't I ( Blow Your Mind This Time ) '' and the B-side opener `` Do I Owe '' .   `` Is It Him or Me '' was sampled by Nas for his song `` War '' on his Street 's Disciple album .

Also included in the boxed set are Jackson 's collaborations with other noted film directors such as John Singleton , Spike Lee and David Fincher as well as `` Ghosts , '' his rarely seen collaboration with special effects legend Stan Winston . Michael Jackson 's Vision is available in a limited edition boxed set featuring a 60-page glossy hard-bound book that includes behind-the-scenes photos from Jackson 's videos , which includes information for each video including : songwriter , album , director , production date , location and photography .

The video `` Another Part of Me '' is from Jackson 's Bad World Tour and `` Will You Be There '' is from the Dangerous World Tour .   The `` HIStory '' video is the only short film that is not included in this box set . The original music video of `` Blood on the Dance Floor '' is replaced with the Refugee Camp Mix for unknown reasons .

It has been also certified Gold in Austria and Platinum in Poland .   Reception over the video and audio quality of the box set has been mixed . As the videos are played in 16:9 , videos with a 4:3 aspect ratio are pillarboxed and as a result the resolution is lower than some previous DVDs . Also , the audio is mixed in PCM stereo instead of 5.1 Surround as in many previous DVDs .

neg: Victory Tour (The Jacksons tour) The Victory Tour was a concert tour of the United States and Canada by Michael Jackson and The Jackson family between July and December 1984 . It was the first and only tour with all six Jackson brothers ( even though Jackie was injured for most of the tour ) . The group performed 55 concerts to an audience of approximately 2 million . Most came to see Michael , whose album Thriller was dominating the popular music world at the time . Many consider it to be his Thriller tour , with most of the songs on the set list coming off of his Off the Wall album and from the Thriller album . The tour reportedly grossed approximately $ 75 million ( US$ in dollars ) and set a new record for the highest grossing tour . It showcased Michael 's single decorated glove , black sequined jacket and moonwalk .   Despite its focus on Michael , it was named after the newly released Jacksons ' album Victory although none of the album 's songs were performed . Marlon confirmed this was because Michael refused to rehearse or perform them ; in fact , he had only reluctantly joined his brothers , who needed the income while he himself did not . On the tour , tensions between Michael and his brothers increased to the point that he announced at the final show that it would be the last time they would perform together , ending plans for a European leg .   The Jacksons did make money from the tour , along with promoter Don King . Michael donated his share to several charities as he had promised before it , but the rancour between him and his brothers had a deep and lasting effect on the Jacksons as a family , alienating him from them for most of his later life and it effectively ended the Jacksons as a performing group . The tour was also a financial disaster for promoter Chuck Sullivan , who along with his father Billy was eventually forced to sell the New England Patriots football team they owned , along with Foxboro Stadium , the team 's home field , as a result of the losses he incurred .

neg: Mombi The Wicked Witch of the North , named Mombi , is a fictional character in L. Frank Baum 's classic children 's series of Oz Books . She is the most significant antagonist in the second Oz book The Marvelous Land of Oz ( 1904 ) , and is alluded to in other works . Mombi plays a very important role in the fictional history of Oz .   The character was originally presented as a lowly hag who had enchanted Princess Ozma in order to prevent her from ascending to the throne . Later in the series , L. Frank Baum specified that she had once conquered and ruled the Gillikin Country , as the Wicked Witch of the North , only to be deposed by the Good Witch of the North .   Furthermore , Mombi had enslaved Ozma 's father ( King Pastoria ) and grandfather , thereby removing the Royal Family of Oz , and enabling herself and the Wicked Witches of the East , West and South to conquer and divide the land between them .   After forcing her to disenchant Princess Ozma , Glinda the Good Witch of the South made Mombi drink a powerful draught that stripped the old witch of all her magic powers .   Mombi did n't make any further appearances in L. Frank Baum 's books . In Ruth Plumly Thompson 's The Lost King of Oz , the witch raises havoc once again , and at the end of the book , in a rare act of Ozite capital punishment , Mombi is ruthlessly doused with water and melts away like the Wicked Witch of the West , so that nothing is left of her but her buckled shoes . L. Frank Baum never said that all witches in Oz would die upon contact with water , but Ruth Plumly Thompson and several subsequent writers such as Rachel Payes had made that conclusion .

neg: Vilna Gaon Elijah ben Solomon Zalman , ( ר ' אליהו בן שלמה זלמן Rabbi Eliyahu ben Shlomo Zalman ) known as the Vilna Gaon ( דער װילנער גאון , Vilniaus Gaonas ) or Elijah of Vilna , or by his Hebrew acronym HaGra ( `` HaGaon Rabbenu Eliyahu '' ) or Elijah Ben Solomon , ( Sialiec , April 23 , 1720 -- Vilnius October 9 , 1797 ) , was a Talmudist , halakhist , kabbalist , and the foremost leader of mitnagdic ( non-hasidic ) Jewry of the past few centuries . He is commonly referred to in Hebrew as ha-Gaon he-Chasid mi-Vilna , `` the saintly genius from Vilnius '' .   Through his annotations and emendations of Talmudic and other texts he became one of the most familiar and influential names in rabbinic study since the Middle Ages , counted by many among the sages known as the Acharonim , and ranked by some with the even more revered Rishonim of the Middle Ages . Large groups of people , including many yeshivas , uphold the set of Jewish customs and rites ( minhag ) , the `` minhag ha-Gra '' , which is named for him , and which is also considered by many to be the prevailing Ashkenazi minhag in Jerusalem .   Born in Sielec in the Brest Litovsk Voivodeship ( today Sialiec , Belarus ) , the Gaon displayed extraordinary talent while still a child . By the time he was twenty years old , rabbis were submitting their most difficult halakhic problems to him for legal rulings . He was a prolific author , writing such works as glosses on the Babylonian Talmud and Shulchan Aruch known as Bi'urei ha-Gra ( `` Elaborations by the Gra '' ) , a running commentary on the Mishnah , Shenoth Eliyahu ( `` The Years of Elijah '' ) , and insights on the Pentateuch entitled Adereth Eliyahu ( `` The Splendor of Elijah '' ) , published by his son . Various Kabbalistic works have commentaries in his name , and commentaries on the Proverbs and other books of the Tanakh were written later on in his life . None of his manuscripts were published in his lifetime .   When Hasidic Judaism became influential in his native town , the Vilna Gaon joined the `` opposers '' or Mitnagdim , rabbis and heads of the Polish communities , to curb Hasidic influence . In 1777 , one of the first excommunications against the nascent Hasidic movement was launched in Vilna .   He encouraged his students to study natural sciences , and even translated geometry books to Yiddish and Hebrew .

neg: Martha Neumark Martha Neumark ( 1904 -- 1981 ) was an important figure in the history of women 's ordination as rabbis .   She was the daughter of a professor at Hebrew Union College , and in 1921 she became the first female student at Hebrew Union College to declare her desire to become a rabbi . That year she requested a High Holiday pulpit for the next year , just as her male classmates would receive . The president of the college told its board of governors that it made sense that if she did preach and complete the required courses , she should be ordained ; this touched off a debate on women 's ordination , as no woman had ever been ordained as a rabbi . The faculty approved her preaching if the congregation in question did not object , but later forbid it as she failed one of her courses . However , the debate on women 's ordination she had sparked continued . In 1922 Neumark and her father attended the Central Conference of American Rabbis Conference , where she succeeded in convincing the CCAR to ordain women rabbis . The CCAR declared in a responsa in 1922 , '' ... woman can not justly be denied the privilege of ordination , '' having voted 56 to 11 in favor of that statement . Yet the board of the college still refused to consider women for ordination , voting ( as Neumark recalled ) six laymen to two rabbis against it . Neumark thus earned a qualification as a religious school principal instead of ordination , though she had spent 7 and a half years in rabbinical school .   In 1925 Martha 's article `` The Woman Rabbi : An Autobiographical Sketch of the First Woman Rabbinical Candidate , '' was published in the Jewish Tribune and Hebrew Standard .   Some of her personal papers are now held in the Jacob Rader Marcus Center of the American Jewish Archives at Hebrew Union College .

neg: Gitl Schaechter-Viswanath Gitl Schaechter-Viswanath ( born 1958 ) is a Yiddish-language poet who was born in The Bronx , New York , USA . She grew up in a Yiddish-speaking home and attended Yiddish schools as a child . She began writing poetry , much of which was published in the journals Yugntruf and Afn Shvel , in 1980 . Several poems were published in English and Yiddish in Hadassah magazine , the literary journal Five Fingers Review , and various anthologies . While her poems range widely in subject matter , her lyric technique is remarkably consistent . She tends towards short poems of no more than two pages , exploring single incidents or observations fully but using highly compressed language . She uses rhyme in many but not all poems , and varies rhyme scheme within a poem when necessary . She uses a variety of meter as well as unmetered verse . While her technique produces poems of unusual intensity , they are leavened with playfulness and puns . Her subject matter includes big questions such as marriage and grief ; and small questions such as baking a failed loaf of bread . A poem about the day following the September 11 , 2001 attacks is eerily still .   Her 2003 book Plutsemdiker Regn/Sudden Rain is a bilingual edition of about 40 of her poems in Yiddish and English . Although Schaechter-Viswanath is a native speaker of both languages , she does not write poetry in English and does not translate her own Yiddish works into English . Her translators are Zackary Sholem Berger , himself a poet in both English and Yiddish , and Jeffrey Shandler , associate professor of Jewish Studies at Rutgers University and a well-known translator . The magazine Hadassah called her poems `` introspective and witty , '' and the book was hailed as `` that rarest of miracles : a first book of poetry in which every poem is a gem '' by the Newsletter of the Association of Jewish Libraries .   Schaechter-Viswanath 's intellectual pursuits have been widely varied : she earned degrees in Jewish literature , Russian language , nursing and health administration . She works as a clinical consultant in health care and remains active in Yiddish cultural endeavors . She lives in Teaneck , New Jersey , with her husband and three children , and practices Orthodox Judaism . Her children all speak Yiddish as well as their father 's first language , Tamil .

neg: Niggerati The Niggerati was the name used , with deliberate irony , by Wallace Thurman for the group of young African American artists and intellectuals of the Harlem Renaissance . `` Niggerati '' is a portmanteau of `` nigger '' and `` literati '' . The rooming house where he lived , and where that group often met , was similarly christened Niggerati Manor . The group included Zora Neale Hurston , Langston Hughes , and several of the people behind Thurman 's journal FIRE !! ( which lasted for one issue in 1926 ) , such as Richard Bruce Nugent ( the associate editor of the journal ) , Jonathan Davis , Gwendolyn Bennett , and Aaron Douglas .   At a time when sexism and homophobia were common , and when the African American bourgeoisie sought to distance itself from the slavery of the past and seek social equality and racial integration , the Niggerati themselves appeared to be relatively comfortable with their diversity of gender , skin colour , and background . After producing FIRE !! , which failed because of a lack of funding , Thurman persuaded the Niggerati to produce another magazine , Harlem . This , too , lasted only a single issue .

neg: Negash Negash is a village in the Tigray Region ( or kilil ) of Ethiopia , which straddles the Adigrat-Mekele road ( Ethiopian Highway 2 ) 10 kilometers north of Wukro . Located in Wukro woreda , this settlement has a longitude and latitude of .   Negash is known as the earliest Muslim settlement in Africa ; a seventh-century cemetery has been excavated inside the village boundaries . The Futuh al-Habasha records Ahmad ibn Ibrahim al-Ghazi visited the tomb of Ashama ibn Abjar in Negash during his invasion of the province of Tigray ( around 1537 ) .

neg: Zimbabwean jazz Zimbabwean Jazz , also known as Afro Jazz was developed in the 20th century . Its history can be traced from its early colonial era .   It was influenced by a style of township rhythm that evolved in a southern part of Africa over the last century . One can also trace similarities from Kwela , a pennywhistle-based , street music from the southern part of Africa with jazzy underpinnings and a distinctive , skiffle-like beat . Kwela music was influenced by blending the music of Malawian immigrants to South Africa , together with the local South African sounds . In Chichewa , the word Kwela has a very similar meaning to the South African meaning : `` to climb '' . The music was popularised in South Africa and then brought to Malawi , where contemporary Malawian artists have also begun producing Kwela music .   It is also closely related to Marabi which was the name given to a keyboard style ( often using cheap pedal organs ) that had a musical link to American jazz , ragtime and blues , with roots deep in the African tradition .  Early Marabi musicians were part of an underground musical culture and were typically not recorded . An example of such an artist in the early 1940s is August Musarurwa of the Skokiaan fame . It has continued to develop and you can even see traits of this music in his grandson Prince Kudakwashe Musarurwa .   This music was often played in townships ( segregated parts of suburban areas ) . During colonial years of Rhodesia , the term township referred to a residential area reserved for black citizens within the boundaries of a city or town , and is still commonly used colloquially . But In modern Zimbabwe it is also used to refer to a residential area within close proximity of a rural growth point . These townships you would find `` Shebeens '' . Shebeens are most often located in townships as an alternative to pubs and bars . In the colonial error indigenous Africans were barred from entering pubs or bars reserved for those of European descent .   Originally shebeens were operated illegally by women who were called Shebeen Queens and was itself a revival of the African tradition that assigned the role of alcohol brewing to women . The Shebeen Queens would sell home brewed and home-distilled alcohol and provided patrons with a place to meet and discuss political and social issues . Often , patrons and owners were arrested by the police , though the shebeens were frequently reopened because of their importance in unifying the community and providing a safe place for discussion . During the colonial error era shebeens became a crucial meeting place for activists , some attracting working class activists and community members , while others attracted lawyers , doctors and musicians .   Shebeens also provided music and dancing , allowing patrons to express themselves culturally , which helped give rise to and support for the musical genre called Township Jazz which we now call Afro Jazz or Zimbabwean Jazz .

neg: Rebbetzin Rebbetzin or Rabbanit is the title used for the wife of a rabbi , typically from the Orthodox , or Haredi , and Hasidic Jewish groups .   The Yiddish word has a trilingual etymology : Hebrew rebbə `` master '' , plus the Slavic feminine suffix - itsa and the German feminine suffix - in .   In many Chassidic courts , Rebbetzins are considered to be spiritual counselors , and give blessings . In circles such as the Hassidic dynasty of Belz , the girls schools are run by the rebbetzin .   The rabbi 's wife plays an important community role , especially in small communities . In many ways , she is called on to be as knowledgeable as the rabbi in the realm of woman 's observances : in this manner , for something that does not require a psak ( ruling ) , she can be approached when a woman does not feel comfortable approaching the rabbi , or where the rabbi maybe should not be approached . For instance , the rebbetzin may often be the `` mikvah lady '' and help with more mundane questions regarding the laws of niddah . Part of it , certainly , is that she always has the rabbi 's ear , and that she would know if the question needs to be asked , in order to get a psak .   When a rabbi is a `` pulpit rabbi , '' ( versus a teacher or a `` lay rabbi '' ) his wife becomes something of a first lady of the community and performs social tasks and `` outreach '' roles , freeing her husband to attend to rabbinical duties .   With the growth of independent scholarship among Orthodox women , some women have informally received the title on their own merit , irrespective of their husbands .

neg: Rainmaker (business) In business , a rainmaker is a person who brings in new business and wins new accounts almost by magic , since it is often not readily apparent how this new business activity is caused . It means generating substantial new business or additional cash flow from sources sometimes outside established business channels , sometimes by connecting with people in non-traditional or hidden markets , and sometimes by prompting current clients to spend more money . A rainmaker is usually a key figure in the business or organization , not merely a salesperson , but a principal or executive who is usually highly regarded within the enterprise .   The origin of the business sense of rainmaker may be an allusion to the Native American practice of dancing to encourage deities to bring forth the rain necessary for crops . In summertime during a drought , for instance , the rainmaker would dance and sing songs on the plains , and the activity was believed by others in the tribe to magically cause clouds to come and bring the life-giving rain . By analogy , a business rainmaker would magically bring new business and clients to a firm or generate more revenue from existing customers and donors , and rain is a metaphor for money . An example was the late advertising agency executive Frederick D. Sulcer who was described as a rainmaker after bringing numerous new accounts to the agency . According to one view , the role of the rainmaker is to find a dormant business problem and then create a vision of what life could be like if that problem were solved .   The term rainmaking is also applied to political fund-raising ; for example , United States president Barack Obama was described as a rainmaker in his effort to raise money for other politicians .

neg: Shegetz Shegetz ( שייגעץ or in Hebrew שֵׁיְגֶּץ ; alternative Romanizations incl . shaygetz , sheigetz , shaigetz , sheygets ; plural שקצים shkotzim , shgatzim ) is a Yiddish word that has entered English to refer to a non-Jewish boy or young man . It is often used disparagingly .   The word shegetz , like its feminine counterpart shiksa , comes from the Hebrew sheketz ( `` detestable , '' `` abomination '' , `` loathed '' , `` blemish '' ) and literally translates as `` rascal '' , `` scoundrel '' or `` varmint '' .   In modern times its pejorative connotations range from negligible to severe , depending on the context .   In former times , it was common practice for Ashkenazi Jews , that is , Jews in Eastern Europe who were harassed by youths to label their tormentors shkotzim . Nacham Grossbard of Haifa , writing in the Memorial Book for the Community of Ciechanów ( 1962 ) , recounted these memories of his early years in Poland : `` At the finish of the match , as soon as the whistle blows , we Jewish boys run as fast as we can , out of breath , all the way home in order not to have stones thrown at us or be hit by the shkotzim ( non-Jewish boys ) .

query: Katharine Hepburn was always herself.

pos: Katharine Hepburn Katharine Houghton Hepburn ( May 12 , 1907 -- June 29 , 2003 ) was an American actress . Known for her fierce independence and spirited personality , Hepburn was a leading lady in Hollywood for more than 60 years . She appeared in a range of genres , from screwball comedy to literary drama , and she received four Academy Awards for Best Actress -- a record for any performer . In 1999 , Hepburn was named by the American Film Institute as the greatest female star of Classic Hollywood Cinema .   Raised in Connecticut by wealthy , progressive parents , Hepburn began to act while studying at Bryn Mawr College . After four years in the theatre , favorable reviews of her work on Broadway brought her to the attention of Hollywood . Her early years in the film industry were marked with success , including an Academy Award for her third picture , Morning Glory ( 1933 ) , but this was followed by a series of commercial failures that led her to be labeled `` box office poison '' in 1938 . Hepburn masterminded her own comeback , buying out her contract with RKO Radio Pictures and acquiring the film rights to The Philadelphia Story , which she sold on the condition that she be the star . In the 1940s , she was contracted to Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer , where her career focused on an alliance with Spencer Tracy . The screen-partnership spanned 25 years and produced nine movies .   Hepburn challenged herself in the latter half of her life , as she regularly appeared in Shakespearean stage productions and tackled a range of literary roles . She found a niche playing middle-aged spinsters , such as in The African Queen ( 1951 ) , a persona the public embraced . Three more Oscars came for her work in Guess Who 's Coming to Dinner ( 1967 ) , The Lion in Winter ( 1968 ) , and On Golden Pond ( 1981 ) . In the 1970s , she began appearing in television films , which became the focus of her career in later life . She remained active into old age , making her final screen appearance in 1994 at the age of 87 . After a period of inactivity and ill health , Hepburn died in 2003 at the age of 96 .   Hepburn famously shunned the Hollywood publicity machine and refused to conform to society 's expectations of women . She was outspoken , assertive , athletic , and wore trousers before it was fashionable for women to do so . She married once , as a young woman , but thereafter lived independently . A 26-year affair with her co-star Spencer Tracy was hidden from the public . With her unconventional lifestyle and the independent characters she brought to the screen , Hepburn epitomized the `` modern woman '' in the 20th-century United States and is remembered as an important cultural figure .

neg: Marlborough: His Life and Times Marlborough : His Life and Times is a panegyric biography written by Winston Churchill about John Churchill , 1st Duke of Marlborough . Churchill was a lineal descendant of the duke .   The book comprises four volumes , the first of which appeared in October 1933 ( 557 pages , 200,000 words ) with subsequent volumes in 1934 , 1936 and 1938 . The publisher was George G Harrup , who in 1929 agreed an advance of # 10,000 for the publishing rights , topping the offer made by Churchill 's customary publishers , Thornton Butterworth . The American publisher , Scribner 's , paid # 5000 advance for United States publishing rights . At that time Churchill envisaged writing 180,000 to 250,000 words to be published in no more than two volumes . Cumulative sales of the first volume were 17,000 copies , 15,000 for the second and 10,000 for the third and fourth , which was a respectable though not exceptional performance for such a work .   Churchill had conceived the idea of writing the book by 1929 , when the conservative defeat in the general election meant that he was no longer a government minister , giving him both spare time and the loss of his ministerial salary . His first act in preparing the book was to employ Maurice Ashley part-time for a  salary of # 300 per year to carry out research about Marlborough . Ashley later produced his own biography of Marlborough , in 1939 . Churchill , with other assistants , worked on and published a number of different historical books while work on Marlborough was proceeding . Churchill turned seriously to writing Marlborough after Easter 1932 , following pressure from his publishers . His initial draft was passed to Edward Marsh , who had been his private secretary while a government minister , with instructions to look out for repetitions , boring passages or clumsy sentences . He wrote over 300 letters requesting information or opinions about the work in progress .   In the preface to volume one , Churchill writes '' `` It is my hope to recall this great shade from the past , and not only invest him with his panoply , but make him living and intimate to modern eyes . ''   Churchill was sceptical of the claim that Marlborough had at 17 or 18 years of age became the lover of the King 's mistress but accepted that he did so somewhat later , at 20 . In 1675 , however , he met the 15-year-old Sarah Jennings , married her and lived with contentedly for the remainder of their lives . They were of comparable social status , but neither had any significant money . Churchill saw similarities between his ancestor and himself .

She had an affair with Harold Loeb and they socialized with Ernest Hemingway and his wife Hadley . In A Farewell to Arms Hemingway based the character Helen Ferguson on Kitty , and also the character Frances Clyne in The Sun Also Rises , although she denied this , but a reading of her letters to Loeb indicates strong parallels with the story .   She became the Paris fashion correspondent for The New Yorker , and , during the German occupation , reported on occupying forces ' press conferences for the New York Times .

neg: History of fashion design The history of fashion design refers to the development of the fashion industry which designs clothing and accessories . The modern industry , based around firms or fashion houses run by individual designers , started in the 19th century with Charles Frederick Worth who was the first designer to have his label sewn into the garments that he created .   Couture beginnings . Rose Bertin ( July 2 , 1747 -- September 22 , 1813 ) was the dressmaker named bill to Marie Antoinette , Queen of France , and a high public profile . Sometimes called sarcastically the `` Minister of Fashion '' , she opened a shop in Paris and had a considerable influence on Parisian style , until this was drastically changed by the French Revolution , from which she fled into exile in London for some years .   An outsider to the French Court , Marie Antoinette relied on Bertin 's meticulous designs to help her `` to combat her enemies with style '' . -LSB- 1 -RSB- Marie Antoinette 's unique fashion preferences such as masculine riding breeches or simple muslin shift dressed , contrasted sharply with her elaborate gowns as the Queen attempted to create a persona that would allow the citizens of France to connect with her and her lifestyle . Although Marie Antoinette 's attempts were largely unsuccessful , the ways Bertin helped the Queen articulate herself through fashion were groundbreaking and set a precedent for monarchs who followed . -LSB- 2 -RSB-   An Englishman living in Paris , Charles Frederick Worth ( 1825 - 1905 ) is usually seen as the first designer in something like the modern sense , with a large business employing many largely anonymous tailors and seamstresses . A former draper , Worth 's success was such that he was able to dictate what they should wear to his customers . Launched into the spotlight as the Empress Eugénie 's primary designer , Worth used his royal connections to gain recognition and clients . The proclamation on February 1 , 1853 by Napolón III that no visitors would be received to his court without formal dress meant that the popularity of Worth-style gowns was overwhelming . Ornately decorated and constructed from the finest materials , Worth 's gowns are well known for their crinolines ( cage-like metal structures that held the dress out in a stylish shape .  Throughout the early 20th century , practically all high fashion originated in Paris and to a lesser extent London . Fashion magazines from other countries sent editors to the Paris fashion shows . Department stores sent buyers to the Paris shows , where they purchased garments to copy ( and openly stole the style lines and trim details of others ) . Both made-to-measure salons and ready-to-wear departments featured the latest Paris trends , adapted to the stores ' assumptions about the lifestyles and pocket books of their targeted customers .   At this time in history the division between haute couture and ready-to-wear was not sharply defined . The two separate modes of production were still far from being competitors and they often co-existed in houses where the seamstresses moved freely between made-to-measure and ready-made .   Around the start of the 20th century fashion magazines began to include photographs and became even more influential . Throughout the world these magazines were greatly sought-after and had a profound effect on public taste . Talented illustrators - among them Paul Iribe , Georges Lepape , Erté , and George Barbier - drew attractive fashion plates for these publications , which covered the most recent developments in fashion and beauty . Perhaps the most famous of these magazines was La Gazette du Bon Ton which was founded in 1912 by Lucien Vogel and regularly published until 1925 .

neg: Portrayal of women in film noir Film noir is accustomed to fulfilling specific constructions of gender roles in this aesthetically driven cinema style , creating very specific false archetypes for women within the ongoing history of film noir .

Kennedy , Dwight D. Eisenhower , Franklin D. Roosevelt , Yma Sumac and , of course , Marilyn Monroe , with and without clothes .

neg: I Capricorn I Capricorn is a 1972 album by Shirley Bassey .   Following on from the success of her previous two albums , I Capricorn saw Bassey still in the midst of her revival in the 1970s . Some months earlier she had released the single `` For All We Know '' , which had become one of the biggest hits of her career , peaking at No. 6 in the UK and remaining on the charts for half a year . This album was released just as the single was leaving the chart and just as her second James Bond theme , `` Diamonds are Forever '' , was entering the chart . Surprisingly , the Bond theme song was not featured on this collection however . The album itself , released in February 1972 , made No. 13 and remained on the UK album chart for 11 weeks . In the US , Bassey undertook a promotional tour during March which took in 12 cities . It reached No. 94 on the Billboard 200 Track `` I 've Never Been a Woman Before '' was subsequently released as a single , but failed to match the success of the first . The B-side , `` The Greatest Performance of My Life '' ( also taken from this album ) became a mainstay of her live concerts for the next few years .   The album also contained the popular songs `` Losing My Mind '' , `` The Look of Love '' and John Lennon 's `` Love '' . The title track was appropriate in that Bassey was indeed a Capricorn ( born January 8 ) . Producer Johnny Harris along with his assistant John Bromley ( who also played guitar on the album ) penned one song , `` The Way a Woman Loves '' . I Capricorn remains one of the most highly regarded albums by her fans .   Early issues of this album had a metallic gold finish and the artwork was pasted on . I Capricorn was re-issued on CD in 2000 by EMI with alternative artwork . It was later re-released in a double pack with the follow-up album And I Love You So in November 2010 .

neg: Character (arts) A character ( sometimes known as a fictional character ) is a person or other being in a narrative work of art ( such as a novel , play , television series , or film ) . The character may be entirely fictional or based on a real-life person , in which case the distinction of a `` fictional '' versus `` real '' character may be made . Derived from the ancient Greek word χαρακτήρ , the English word dates from the Restoration , although it became widely used after its appearance in Tom Jones in 1749 . From this , the sense of `` a part played by an actor '' developed . Character , particularly when enacted by an actor in the theatre or cinema , involves `` the illusion of being a human person . '' In literature , characters guide readers through their stories , helping them to understand plots and ponder themes . Since the end of the 18th century , the phrase `` in character '' has been used to describe an effective impersonation by an actor . Since the 19th century , the art of creating characters , as practiced by actors or writers , has been called characterisation .   A character who stands as a representative of a particular class or group of people is known as a type . Types include both stock characters and those that are more fully individualised . The characters in Henrik Ibsen 's Hedda Gabler ( 1891 ) and August Strindberg 's Miss Julie ( 1888 ) , for example , are representative of specific positions in the social relations of class and gender , such that the conflicts between the characters reveal ideological conflicts .   The study of a character requires an analysis of its relations with all of the other characters in the work . The individual status of a character is defined through the network of oppositions ( proairetic , pragmatic , linguistic , proxemic ) that it forms with the other characters . The relation between characters and the action of the story shifts historically , often miming shifts in society and its ideas about human individuality , self-determination , and the social order .

neg: Payne Whitney Psychiatric Clinic At his death in 1927 , Payne Whitney bestowed the funds to build and endow the Payne Whitney Psychiatric Clinic ( PWC ) on the Upper East Side of Manhattan . An eight story free-standing hospital , it was immediately affiliated with Cornell University 's medical school ( now Weill Cornell Medical College or Weill Cornell Medicine ) and with the New York Hospital ( now New York -- Presbyterian Hospital ) , both of which are adjacent to PWC .   Payne Whitney was a large donor to the Hospital and Medical College , and it has been an issue of long speculation why he chose a psychiatric building to be his primary naming opportunity at New York-Cornell .   The poet Robert Lowell wrote of his hospitalization at Payne Whitney , Marilyn Monroe was hospitalized there in early 1961 , and Mary McCarthy based her book , The Group , on her inpatient experience . The poet James Schuyler wrote about his experiences there in the eleven-poem series `` The Payne Whitney Poems '' which appeared in the New York Review of Books , August 17 , 1978 issue . In Woody Allen 's 1979 film , Manhattan , a character named Caroline Payne Whitney Smith is featured in a comedy sketch , where she and her husband are considered `` normal folks , '' except for the fact that she is a catatonic .   The Payne Whitney building itself was torn down in the early 1990s to make way for an expansion of the New York-Presbyterian Hospital over the FDR Drive . Since that time , all clinical and research services at the two primary Cornell psychiatric campuses -- in Manhattan and in White Plains , New York -- have been named after Payne Whitney . The clinic also has an outpatient and Continuing Day Treatment Program in an off-campus building at East 61st Street and York Avenue on the Upper East Side of Manhattan .   Payne Whitney Clinic and Weill Cornell Medical College have been home to some of the most notable psychiatrists in the country . Currently-affiliated psychiatrists and psychologists include Jack Barchas , Robert Michels , Otto F. Kernberg , James Kocsis , George Makari , Michael Posner , William Breitbart , and Theodore Shapiro . Previously-affiliated psychiatrists include Arnold Cooper , Frederic Flach , Benjamin Spock , Gerald Klerman , Robert Millman , Louis Jolyon West , David Silbersweig , Harry Tiebout , Mary Jane Sherfey , Helen Singer Kaplan , Allen Frances , and Paul McHugh . Payne Whitney has also been the `` voluntary faculty '' home to Roy Schafer , Richard Isay , Gail Saltz , and Daniel Stern , and the recent home of such senior scholars as David A. Hamburg and Beatrix Hamburg .
