neg: Schoenstein Organ at the Conference Center The Schoenstein Organ at the Conference Center is a pipe organ built by Schoenstein & Co. , San Francisco , California located in the Conference Center of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints ( LDS Church ) in Salt Lake City , Utah . The organ was completed in 2003 . It is composed of 160 speaking stops spread over five manuals and pedals . Along with the nearby Salt Lake Tabernacle organ , it is typically used to accompany the Mormon Tabernacle Choir . Schoenstein & Co. . President and tonal director Jack Bethards describes it as `` an American Romantic organ '' that is `` probably more English than anything else . ''   The Conference Center organ is heard at the church 's semi-annual General Conference , and at other performances throughout the year .   The organ is about two-thirds the size of the Salt Lake Tabernacle organ in number of pipes ( the Conference Center Organ has 7,708 pipes in 130 ranks , while the Tabernacle Organ has 11,623 pipes in 206 ranks ) . Former Tabernacle organist John Longhurst described it as a `` project of immense proportion . ''   Longhurst described his reaction to the announcement in 1996 of the building of the Conference Center and his involvement in the building of the organ as follows :   `` Needless to say , -LSB- the announcement of the Conference Center -RSB- made it difficult for me to concentrate on the rest of the Conference session . I could only begin to envision a space like President Hinckley had described . I assumed that an organ would be necessary in that building and immediately began considering what that instrument might be . By this time Robert Cundick had retired , and Richard Elliott was now on staff . As it turned out , all of the experience previously gained working on the other Temple Square organs ( and particularly the Tabernacle organ , which we had thought of as a culmination ) we now viewed as preparation for what was to follow . President Hinckley 's announcement that Easter morning began a journey for us organists that would not conclude for seven years , when the Conference Center 's Schoenstein & Co. organ was finally declared finished , just in time for the A.G.O. bi-regional convention held in Salt Lake City in the summer of 2003 . ''   The organ includes a number of so-called `` mechanical aids , '' though these are actually electronic . According to principal Tabernacle organist Dr. Richard Elliott ( organist ) , these include a `` built-in recorder , '' which allows organists to play a performance , and then go out into the auditorium and listen as the organ 's computer replays the piece by physically sounding the pipes .

neg: Standing High Council The Standing High Council of the Community of Christ is composed of 12 persons holding the office of High Priest . The right to call members to the Council resides in the First Presidency and the call is sustained by a vote of the Community of Christ World Conference . The only mention of the council in the current church bylaws refers to their authority to approve church judicial procedures presented by the First Presidency . In practice , however , they also issue policy statements at the request of the First Presidency , such as the 1982 Standing High Council Statement on Homosexuality and the 1997 Standing High Council Statement on Privileged and Confidential Communications .   According to the Church Administrator 's Handbook   Current members of the Standing High Council are : William M. Barnhard , Kent G. Bradford , Valerie K. Brennan , David M. Byrn , Dennis R. Clinefelter , Matthew J. Frizzell , Gwendolyn Hawks-Blue , Sharon M. Kirkpatrick , Marilee A. Martens , Scott A. Roberson , Kathy D. Robinson , Patricia K. Trachsel .

neg: Scientology status by country Scientology status by country describes the status of Scientology and its recognition as a religion or otherwise in different countries . The Church of Scientology pursues an extensive public relations campaign for state recognition of Scientology as a religion and cites numerous scholarly sources supporting its position . The level of recognition Scientology has been able to obtain varies significantly from country to country .   The Church of Scientology has been recognized as a religious denomination in its home country , the United States , and has received full recognition in various other countries such as Italy , South Africa , Australia , Sweden , New Zealand , Portugal and Spain ; it thus enjoys and regularly cites the constitutional protection afforded in these nations to religious practice . Some countries , mostly in Europe , have regarded Scientology as a potentially dangerous cult , or at least have not considered local branches of the Church of Scientology to meet the legal criteria for being considered religion-supporting organizations , seeing Scientology as a business .   The 2014 ruling in London , which had five judges in the UK Supreme Court unanimously rule that a Scientology chapel is a `` place of meeting for religious worship , '' solidified the church 's status as a religion in the region . While some theologians critically approach Scientology 's status as a religion , social scientists as a whole agree that it `` satisfies the abstract criteria for recognition as a religion . ''

neg: Two by Twos Two by Twos is one of the names used to denote an international , home-based church that has its origins in Ireland at the end of the 19th century . Among members , the church is typically referred to as `` The Truth '' or `` The Way '' . Those outside the church refer to it as `` Two by Twos '' , `` No-name Church '' , `` Cooneyites '' , `` Workers and Friends '' or `` Christians Anonymous . '' Church ministers are itinerant and work in groups of two , hence the name `` Two by Twos '' . The church 's registered names include `` Christian Conventions '' in the United States , `` Assemblies of Christians '' in Canada , `` The Testimony of Jesus '' in the United Kingdom , `` Kristna I Sverige '' in Sweden , and `` United Christian Conventions '' in Australia . These organization names are used only for registration purposes and are not used by members .   The church was founded in 1897 in Ireland by William Irvine , an evangelist with the interdenominational Faith Mission . Irvine began independently preaching a return to the method of itinerant ministry he claimed was set forth in the 10th chapter of Matthew . Church growth was rapid , spreading outside Ireland . Irvine eventually began preaching a new order in which the hierarchy that had developed within the church would have no placement . This teaching became controversial within the church and led to his expulsion by church overseers around 1914 . One of the church 's most prominent evangelists , Edward Cooney , was expelled a decade after Irvine . The church then became much less visible to outsiders for the next half-century . Publication of several articles and books , increased news coverage , and the appearance of the Internet have since opened the church to wider scrutiny .   The church does not explicitly publish any doctrinal statements , claiming these must be orally imparted by its ministers , referred to as `` workers '' . Doctrine of the church teaches that salvation is available only by accepting the preaching of its homeless , penniless ministry workers and by attending the group 's home meetings . The orthodox Christian Trinitarian doctrine is rejected , and members are told to deny any church name . Baptism by immersion as performed by one of the church 's workers is required for full participation . Some in the church claim it is a direct continuation of the 1st-century Christian church , although some believe that a restoration of some sort may have occurred in the late 19th century .   Members hold regular weekly worship gatherings in local homes on Sunday and in the middle of the week . The church holds annual regional conventions and public Gospel meetings . The church claims no official headquarters or official publications . Its hymnbook and various other materials for internal use are produced by outside publishers and printing firms . Printed invitations and advertisements for its open gospel meetings are the only written materials which those outside the church are likely to encounter .

neg: Norwegian Church Abroad The Norwegian Church Abroad or The Norwegian Seamen 's Church ( Sjømannskirken ) is a religious organisation serving Norwegians and other Scandinavians travelling abroad . Founded in 1864 , The Norwegian Seamen 's Mission -- Sjømannsmisjonen -- was established to secure the moral and religious education of Scandinavian seafarers , but also to give them a `` breathing room '' where a fellow countryman was available to lend an ear and give some attention . Today , the churches and their staff together with travelling pastors around the globe represent a `` resource center '' for all Norwegians travelling internationally .   Sjømannskirken annually serves around 700 thousand Norwegians through over 30 churches and 16 mobile services in 30 countries around the world . Several churches operate on a Scandinavian basis . The Norwegian Church Abroad , its main office in Bergen , is a charitable organization supported by the Church of Norway and the Norwegian Government . Sjømannskirken is also a member of the ICMA and the Council of Nordic Seamen 's Missions .   For most Norwegians travelling abroad , Sjømannskirken is a nice place to rest : one can read newspapers from home , buy Norwegian food and speak to other Norwegians . Many Norwegians living permanently abroad use the seamen 's churches instead of the local ones .

neg: Free Church of England The Free Church of England ( FCE ) is an episcopal church based in England . The church was founded when a number of congregations separated from the established Church of England in the middle of the 19th century .   The doctrinal basis of the FCE , together with its episcopal structures , organisation , worship , ministry and ethos are recognisably `` Anglican '' although it is not a member of the Anglican Communion . Its worship style follows that of the Book of Common Prayer or conservative modern-language forms that belong to the Anglican tradition .   The Church of England acknowledges the FCE as a church with valid orders and its canons permit a range of shared liturgical and ministerial activities .

neg: American Catholic Church in the United States The American Catholic Church in the United States ( ACCUS ) is a small Independent Catholic denomination which considers itself in the tradition of the Old Catholic Church . The ACCUS , which was founded in 1999 , holds some similar theological beliefs and practices to the Roman Catholic Church . It is not in communion with the Roman Catholic Church or under papal jurisdiction . Its website states : `` The ACCUS and its affiliated Worldwide jurisdictions are not under the jurisdiction of the Roman Catholic Church and are therefore not subject to the same rules and regulations . ''

neg: Churches Together in Britain and Ireland Churches Together in Britain and Ireland ( CTBI ) is an ecumenical organisation . The members include most of the major churches in England , Scotland , Wales and Ireland . CTBI is registered at Companies House with number 05661787 . Its office is in Central London ; the General Secretary was Canon Bob Fyffe ( of the Scottish Episcopal Church ) .   It was formed on 1 September 1990 , as the successor to the British Council of Churches , and was formerly known as the Council of Churches of Britain and Ireland .

It also produces material for the `` Week of Prayer for Christian Unity '' and `` Racial Justice Sunday '' .   CTBI works closely with Action of Churches Together in Scotland , Churches Together in England , Cytûn ( Churches Together in Wales ) , and the Irish Council of Churches .   CTBI , unlike its predecessor the British Council of Churches , includes the Catholic Church as full members , and includes Ireland .

neg: Free Methodist Church in Canada The Free Methodist Church is a denomination of Methodism , which is a branch of Protestantism . It was founded in 1860 in New York by a group , led by B. T. Roberts , who was defrocked in the Methodist Episcopal Church for criticisms of the spiritual laxness of the church hierarchy . The Free Methodists are so named because they believed it was improper to charge for better seats in pews closer to the pulpit . They also opposed slavery and supported freedom for all slaves in the United States , while many Methodists in the South at that time did not actively oppose slavery . Beyond that , they advocated `` freedom '' from secret societies ( e.g. , Freemasons ) , which had allegedly undermined parts of the Methodist Episcopal Church .

neg: Film director A film director is a person who directs the making of a film . Generally , a film director controls a film 's artistic and dramatic aspects and visualizes the screenplay ( or script ) while guiding the technical crew and actors in the fulfillment of that vision . The director has a key role in choosing the cast members , production design , and the creative aspects of filmmaking . Under European Union law , the director is viewed as the author of the film .   The film director gives direction to the cast and crew and creates an overall vision through which a film eventually becomes realized , or noticed . Directors need to be able to mediate differences in creative visions and stay within the boundaries of the film 's budget . There are many pathways to becoming a film director . Some film directors started as screenwriters , cinematographers , film editors or actors . Other film directors have attended a film school . Directors use different approaches . Some outline a general plotline and let the actors improvise dialogue , while others control every aspect , and demand that the actors and crew follow instructions precisely . Some directors also write their own screenplays or collaborate on screenplays with long-standing writing partners . Some directors edit or appear in their films , or compose the music score for their films .

neg: The National Office for Black Catholics The National Office for Black Catholics ( NOBC ) was an organization of Black Catholics in the United States , headquartered in Washington , DC . Its mission was `` to make the Church relevant to the needs of the black community ; to assist generally in the black liberation movement ; to assist black Catholics in their efforts to become self-determining ; and to become an effective voice in the whole of Church government . ''   NOBC was founded in 1970 , as an umbrella group for the National Black Catholic Clergy Caucus ( NBCCC ) , the National Black Sisters Conference ( NBSC ) , and the National Black Lay Catholic Caucus ( NBLCC ) . However , tension over the mission and organizational structure of the organization led to the formal withdrawal of the NBSC and NBCCC from NOBC in the early 1980s . Funding for the NOBC came primarily from an annual collection taken at Catholic churches around the country , called `` Black Catholics Concerned . ''   NOBC undertook a variety of programs in the 1970s and 1980s . Its major departments included the Office of Culture and Worship , Office of Evangelization , Department of Church Vocations , and Education Department . The organization 's work included promoting black clerical leadership , supporting the development of African-rooted liturgy and ministries , contributing to the revitalization of black parishes , and strengthening black Catholic education . The organization also worked with the American Catholic hierarchy to bring issues around race to the forefront and participated in the 1976 `` Call to Action '' conference held by the U.S. bishops .   NOBC sponsored many conferences and events throughout the 1970s and 1980s . Among its most successful events was a regular conference on African American Culture and Worship ( AACW ) . Beginning in 1980 , it also hosted a biennial conference for the organization 's members . In 1988 and 1989 , NOBC and NBLCC hosted two Lay Leadership symposiums in Belleville , Illinois . The Office of Evangelization also sponsored revival events throughout the country .   The NOBC 's publications included its newsletter , Impact ! , as well as Freeing the Spirit , a newsletter of the Office of Culture and Worship . Freeing the Spirit ceased publication in 1983 , but Impact ! continued sporadic publication through the 1980s .   Executive directors of the NOBC included : Br . Joseph Davis , SM ( 1970-1977 ) , Fr . Cyprian Lamar Rowe , SSF ( 1978-1980 ) , James Henderson ( 1981-1987 ) , Penelope Taylor Powell ( 1978 -LSB- acting director -RSB- , 1987-1988 ) , and Walter Hubbard ( 1988-c . 2000 ) .   Although the NOBC continued its activity through the 1990s and early 2000s , its level of activity seems to have decreased .

neg: Our Lady of Perpetual Exemption Our Lady of Perpetual Exemption was a legally recognized church in the United States , established by comedian and satirist John Oliver . Its purpose was to expose and ridicule televangelists like Robert Tilton and Creflo Dollar who preach the `` prosperity gospel '' as a way to defraud victims of their money , and to draw attention to the tax-exempt status given churches and charities with little government oversight . Oliver announced formation of his church on August 16 , 2015 , in a twenty-minute segment on his show Last Week Tonight .   Oliver announced that the Church would be shutting down during his show on September 13 , 2015 . All donations were forwarded to Doctors Without Borders .

neg: City Temple, London The City Temple is a Nonconformist church on Holborn Viaduct in London . It is the only English Free Church still worshipping in its own building every Sunday in the City of London . The current Minister is Rev Dr Rodney Woods . The church is part of the Thames North Synod of the United Reformed Church and is a member of the Evangelical Alliance .   The City Temple is most famous as the preaching place of the 20th century liberal theologian Leslie Weatherhead . Other notable preachers have included R. J. Campbell , Joseph Fort Newton , Thomas Goodwin and Joseph Parker .   The first church building on the present site was built in 1874 . The congregation was founded much earlier ; the traditional date is 1640 but some evidence suggests it was founded as early as the 1560s by the Puritans . Destroyed by bombing during the Second World War , it was rebuilt and reopened in 1958 .

neg: National church This article discusses ` national churches ' in the ethnic sense . See state church for church organizations at a national level . For Catholic churches in Rome associated with various countries , see National churches in Rome .   A national church is a Christian church associated with a specific ethnic group or nation state . The idea was notably discussed during the 19th century , during the emergence of modern nationalism .   Samuel Taylor Coleridge , in a draft discussing the question of church and state around 1828 wrote that  `` a National Church might exist , and has existed , without -LSB- Christianity -RSB- , because before the institution of the Christian Church - as -LSB- ... -RSB- the Levitical Church in the Hebrew Constitution , -LSB- and -RSB- the Druidical in the Celtic , would suffice to prove '' .   John Wordsworth , Bishop of Salisbury , wrote about the National Church of Sweden in 1911 , interpreting the Church of Sweden and the Church of England as national churches of the Swedish and the English peoples , respectively . Lake ( 1987 ) traces the development of Presbyterianism in 16th-century England from the status of a `` godly minority '' which saw itself surrounded by the corrupt or hostile mass of the population , into a `` genuine national church '' .   The concept of a national church remains alive in the Protestantism of England and Scandinavia in particular . While , in a context of England , the national church remains a common denominator for the Church of England , some of the Lutheran `` folk churches '' of Scandinavia , characterized as national churches in the ethnic sense as opposed to the idea of a state church , emerged in the second half of the 19th century following the lead of Grundtvig . However , in countries in which the state church ( also known as the established church ) has the following of the majority of citizens , the state church may also be the national church , and may be declared as such by the government e.g. Church of Denmark , Church of Greece , Church of Iceland .

One prominent example is the `` seeker-sensitive '' approach , which aims to make churches more accessible and sensitive to the needs of spiritual seekers .

neg: Doubting Thomas A doubting Thomas is a skeptic who refuses to believe without direct personal experience -- a reference to the Apostle Thomas , who refused to believe that the resurrected Jesus had appeared to the ten other apostles , until he could see and feel the wounds received by Jesus on the cross .   In art , the episode ( formally called the Incredulity of Thomas ) has been frequently depicted since at least the 5th century , with its depiction reflecting a range of theological interpretations .

neg: Polity of the Seventh-day Adventist Church The governance ( polity ) of the Seventh-day Adventist Church is based on democratic representation , and therefore resembles the Presbyterian system of church organization . The organizational structure of the church consists of the following levels :  The global church is called the `` General Conference '' , composed operatively of 13 `` Divisions '' .  Each division is composed of `` Union Conferences '' and/or `` Union Missions '' ( 112 total ) . Union Conferences are self-supporting financially , while Union Missions are not .  Each union conference is composed of -LSB- local -RSB- `` Conferences '' and/or `` Missions '' ( 572 total ) . Local Conferences are self-supporting financially , while Local Missions are not . Certain unions are composed of local congregations . They do not have local conferences/missions .  Each local conference/mission is composed of local churches ( congregations ) . Often a number of local congregations are grouped operatively as a district , led by one senior pastor . In the United States , these numbers tend to be smaller ( 2-4 churches per district , perhaps ) , while in most of the worldwide church , the numbers tend to be larger ( 5 + per district and per pastor , sometimes as many as 15 or more ) .   Each level of organization holds a `` general session '' at certain intervals , when elected representatives gather to vote on general decisions and church business . The president of the General Conference , for instance , is elected at the General Conference Session every five years .   At the local churches , decisions are made by elected committees through vote of members . The day-to-day running of churches is governed by a church board formed by members of that church , together with the pastor of that congregation .   In contrast to congregational polity , the conference corporation owns church property , employs and pays ministers , and receives tithes from members . In contrast to episcopal polity , the ministers or pastors are a single level of ordained clergy and there are no bishops ; elders and deacons are lay ministries . Moreover , it incorporates a hierarchical polity .   A 2002 survey of Adventists worldwide showed three quarters `` affirm the structure , polity , and financial policies of the church . ''

neg: Academy Award for Best Animated Feature The Academy Awards are given each year by the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences ( AMPAS or the Academy ) for the best films and achievements of the previous year . The Academy Award for Best Animated Feature is given each year for animated films . An animated feature is defined by the Academy as a film with a running time of more than 40 minutes in which characters ' performances are created using a frame-by-frame technique , a significant number of the major characters are animated , and animation figures in no less than 75 percent of the running time . The Academy Award for Best Animated Feature was first given for films made in 2001 .   Through the 89th Academy Awards , presented in 2017 , Academy Award nominations in this category were made by the Academy 's animation section ; effective with the 2018 awards , all Academy members will be eligible to vote on nominations . The entire AMPAS membership has been eligible to choose the winner since the award 's inception . If there are sixteen or more films submitted for the category , the winner is voted from a shortlist of five films , which has happened six times , otherwise there will only be three films on the shortlist . Additionally , eight eligible animated features must have been theatrically released in Los Angeles County within the calendar year for this category to be activated .   Animated films can be nominated for other categories , but have rarely been so ; Beauty and the Beast ( 1991 ) was the first animated film ever nominated for Best Picture . Up ( 2009 ) and Toy Story 3 ( 2010 ) also received Best Picture nominations after the Academy expanded the number of nominees .   Waltz with Bashir ( 2008 ) is the only animated film ever nominated for Best Foreign Language Film ( though it did not receive a nomination for Best Animated Feature ) . The Nightmare Before Christmas ( 1993 ) and Kubo and the Two Strings ( 2016 ) are the only two animated films to ever be nominated for Best Visual Effects .

neg: Japan Academy Prize for Outstanding Foreign Language Film Every year since its inception , the Japanese Academy has recognized an outstanding foreign film . The year that any given film is nominated is not based on the film 's domestic release date but rather on the date it is released in Japan . As delays of over four months are not uncommon , many films are nominated in Japan the following year after their release to the Japanese market ( i.e. Million Dollar Baby won the American Academy Award for Best Picture for films made in 2004 , but the Japanese award , based on its localized release date , is for 2005 ) . In fact , not one of the five films nominated for the 2007 Academy Award for Best Picture had been released in Japan by February 15 , 2008 , the date of the Japan Academy Prize Ceremony .

neg: John R. Hamilton (architect) John R. Hamilton was an English architect who moved to Cincinnati , Ohio . In England Hamilton designed the Lincoln and Worcester Insane Asylums ; the Birmingham , Plymouth , and Leicester Cemeteries ; and churches in London and Oxford ( according to an affidavit ) . He is believed to have come to the U.S. in approximately 1850 and to Cincinnati in approximately 1852 . According to the Architectural Foundation of Cincinnati 's Biographical Dictionary of Cincinnati Architects : `` relatively little is known about Hamilton 's American career , but he seems to have been a fine designer , willing to explore new technology , and with a significant influence through his pupils on later 19th-century Cincinnati-area architecture . ''   He is listed on his own in 1853-1855 , with Rankin , 1856 -- 1857 , and with James W. McLaughlin in 1857-1858 . Prominent Cincinnati architect Samuel Hannaford , born in England and brought to the Cincinnati area as a child , got his start in Hamilton 's office in 1857 .   Hamilton won a silver medal at the Ohio Mechanics ' Institute for his ` Paintings , Lithographic , Architectural , and other Drawings . ' He may have been in New York City at 36 Wall Street by 1859 ( or 1858 , according to Haverstock ) , and was `` made a Fellow of the fledgling American Institute of Architects in 1860 . '' According to Haverstock , page 369 , `` he served during the Civil War as special artist for Harper 's Weekly , traveling as far south as Port Hudson , Louisiana , '' and was in Richmond , Virginia , from about 1864 to 1866 . Hamilton was an early member of the Literary Club of Cincinnati ( 1857 ) .   In 1854 Hamilton won a design competition for the Henry Clay Monument in the Lexington , Kentucky Cemetery , a Gothic dome `` constructed entirely and innovatively of cast-iron '' , but it was not built and a `` more conventional ( if provincial ) column , raised on an Egyptoid mausoleum base , supported a statue of Clay . ''   The Horticultural Review and Botanical Magazine ( published in Cincinnati by H.W. Derby -LSB- a Hamilton & Rankin client -RSB- and edited by John Aston Warder and James W. Ward ) published Hamilton 's Charles Anderson House ( later Broadwell House ) at SEC Fifth and Pike streets in downtown Cincinnati , and ran a series of signed articles on architecture by Hamilton . The article about `` rural architecture '' are `` perhaps '' the earliest known architectural writings by a Cincinnati-based architect , announced by the publication 's editor in the first issue of the volume , IV , 1 ( 1/1854 ) , 47 .

neg: Year of the Cat Year of the Cat is the seventh studio album by Al Stewart , released in 1976 and was produced and engineered by Alan Parsons ; it is considered his masterpiece , its sales helped by the hit single `` Year of the Cat '' , `` one of those ` mysterious woman ' songs , '' co-written by Peter Wood . The other single from the album was `` On the Border '' . Stewart wrote `` Lord Grenville '' about the Elizabethan sailor and explorer Sir Richard Grenville ( 1542 -- 1591 ) .   Stewart had all of the music and orchestration written and completely recorded before he even had a title for any of the songs . In a Canadian radio interview he stated that he has done this for six of his albums , and he often writes four different sets of lyrics for each song . The title track derives from a song Stewart wrote in 1966 called `` Foot of the Stage '' with prescient lyrics about Tony Hancock , one of Britain 's favourite comedians who tragically committed suicide two years later . When Stewart discovered that Hancock was not well known in the United States , he went back to his original title `` Year of the Cat '' .   While Stewart is known for his guitar virtuosity , the song is recognized for producing amazing interplay of multiple guitars , piano , saxophone , violin and drums .

neg: Year of the Cat (song) `` Year of the Cat '' is a single by singer-songwriter Al Stewart , released in July 1976 .

The song reached # 8 on the Billboard Hot 100 in March 1977 . Although Stewart 's highest charting single on that chart was 1978 's `` Time Passages '' , `` Year of the Cat '' has remained Stewart 's signature recording , receiving regular airplay on both classic rock and folk rock stations .

neg: John Hamilton (Kansas) John Daniel Miller Hamilton ( c. 1892 -- September 24 , 1973 ) was a Republican politician from the U.S. state of Kansas .   Hamilton was raised in Topeka , Kansas , where his father was general counsel of the Atchison , Topeka and Santa Fe Railroad . Upon graduation from preparatory school in 1913 , he stopped in Chicago to see his father 's friend , Dean Wigmore , who promptly invited him to enroll in Northwestern University Law School .   Hamilton went on to become Speaker of the Kansas House of Representatives for the 1927 Session and 1928 Special Session . He lost the Republican Governor primary election to Clyde Reed in 1928 . In the 1930 Republican Governor primary he was the campaign manager for Frank Hauke who defeated incumbent Governor Clyde Reed , but lost in the general election . As Hauke 's campaign manager , Hamilton was also made Chairman of the Kansas Republican Party from 1930 to 1932 , In November 1932 , following the death of Kansas Republican National Committeeman David Mulvane , Governor Alf Landon had Hamilton elected as the new Kansas Republican National Committeeman for Kansas , a role he filled from 1932 to 1940 . In 1936 , following the nomination of then-Governor Alf Landon to run against President Franklin D. Roosevelt , Mr. Hamilton was appointed chairman of the Republican National Committee . His picture was on Time 's cover on September 23 , 1936 . Landon lost the election in a landslide , but Mr. Hamilton continued as chairman of the Republican National Committee until 1940 , due in large part to the considerable help of a freshman Illinois congressman , Everett Dirksen , whose eloquent support turned back several efforts to replace Mr. Hamilton .   Mr. Hamilton personally visited 3,000 GOP county chairmen during his four-year term , and , in the process , eliminated the huge Landon campaign debt . Mr. Hamilton presided at the 1940 Republican National Convention that nominated Wendell Willkie to run against Roosevelt . When , according to well-established custom , Willkie picked his own national party chairman , Mr. Hamilton retired from active politics .   In 1940 , Hamilton at the age of 48 resigned from the RNC and two days later married Jane Kendall Mason , 30 , who a month earlier divorced George Grant Mason Jr. , member of the Civil Aeronautics Board in Tampa , Florida . According to former first lady Grace Coolidge , Jane Kendall was `` the most beautiful debutante who ever entered the White House '' .   At the urging of members of Philadelphia 's Pew family , he came to Philadelphia , rather than return to Kansas , and joined the Pepper firm . Even in private practice , he remained an active and shrewd observer of the political scene . He was a consummate raconteur of political stories , and in the days before timesheets , partners and associates drifted into his office for impromptu gatherings where they heard Hamilton tell tales of political lore .   Hamilton received national and international attention in 1950 , when he was appointed to represent Harry Gold , a Philadelphia chemist and confessed courier in the Julius and Ethel Rosenberg network that passed atomic secrets to the Soviet Union . In 1955 he became chairman of the Pepper Law Firm and resigned the position in 1964 .

neg: Cat Bauer Catherine `` Cat '' Bauer ( born July 27 , 1955 in Greenville , South Carolina ) is the award-winning author of contemporary novels featuring the young protagonist , Harley Columba , and is known for her unique and honest voice . Publishers Weekly said , `` Bauer creates a witty and resilient narrator in ... Harley Columba ... Readers will be rooting for this sympathetic heroine . '' In the Thomson Gale biography , the authors noted that : `` Readers and reviewers often found the strength of Bauer 's novel in the authentic voice of its heroine , Harley . Patricia Morrow , for example , in Voice of Youth Advocates ( VOYA ) , remarked that ` Harley 's voice is true to the experience of many young people , ' and that ` Although the outcomes are not unexpected , they do not follow any formulas . ' ''   Bauer is the oldest of five children . She was born on an Air Force Base where her father was stationed in Greenville , South Carolina . According to family lore , she was struck by ball lightning while sleeping in her bassinet during a thunderstorm . She spent the first five years of her life in Kearney , New Jersey in the same three-family house as her paternal grandparents , and her summers at the Bauer family property on Bodin Lake in Upstate New York . Her grandfather was the foreman of Kearfott , where her father was also an engineer .   When she was nearly five years old , her grandparents relocated to Montreat , North Carolina , while her immediate family moved to Pompton Lakes , New Jersey , a small , suburban town in North Jersey which Bauer has fictionalized in her novels as `` Lenape Lakes '' -- `` only forty-five minutes outside of New York City , if there 's no traffic , although it may as well be four zillion light-years away since no one from here ever goes there . '' Bauer learned to read and use the slide rule before she went to kindergarten , and began writing books at the age of six . She showed musical ability at a young age , and played the clarinet , piano , violin and guitar , and was also active in the theater .   Bauer graduated with honors from Pompton Lakes High School in 1973 .   After a brief marriage to her high school sweetheart , she moved to the West Village in New York City , and studied acting with Stella Adler and the National Shakespeare Conservatory .   She later moved to Los Angeles , California to pursue an acting career , and was active in the LA theater scene as both an actress and a playwright , co-authoring and performing in the cult hit , `` Peacocks . '' She was a close friend and student of the late Don Richardson , whose former students also included Grace Kelly and Anne Bancroft . Bauer assisted Mr. Richardson with his book `` Acting Without Agony , '' and it was in his workshop that she met her future husband , television director , James Quinn , noted for one-hour episode shows such as Law & Order . During this period , Bauer lived in the hills of Los Feliz .   In July , 1993 , Sassy published her first short story , Run Away , which was the inspiration for her first novel , Harley , Like a Person . Under the working title of `` Zee , '' that effort was the recipient of the very first Sue Alexander Most Promising New Work Award given by the Society of Children 's Book Writers and Illustrators ( SCBWI ) . Selected from manuscripts submitted for individual critique at the SCBWI Annual Conference in Los Angeles , the award is given to the manuscript deemed most promising for publication . Another in the list of `` firsts , '' Bauer 's winning entry was critiqued by Walter Dean Myers , the first-ever Michael L. Printz Award winner , a prize which recognizes excellence in young adult literature .   Bauer later changed the title of her first novel to Harley , Like a Person , which was originally published in 2000 by Winslow Press , a boutique publisher that filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy in 2002 .   John Lennon 's life and work were major influences on Bauer , and her novels are peppered with references to the former Beatle . For example , Harley Columba was born on the anniversary of John Lennon 's death , December 8 , while her parents were attending a memorial concert in his honor .   In 2004 , Holly Bolstad of White Bear Lake , Minnesota , won her state Level I Letters About Literature competition , a national reading-writing contest sponsored by the Center for the Book in the Library of Congress , together with Target Stores , by writing to Cat Bauer about how Harley , Like a Person had affected her life . To enter , readers write a personal letter to an author , living or dead , from any genre -- fiction or nonfiction , contemporary or classic , explaining how that author 's work changed the student 's way of thinking about the world or themselves .   In April 1998 , Bauer moved to Venice , Italy , where she lives today on the Grand Canal . She is presently divorced .   Bauer was also a regular contributor to International Herald Tribune 's Italian supplement , Italy Daily , writing about the art , culture and architecture of Venice . Her popular blog , Venetian Cat - Venice Blog has been featured in the Financial Times Arts & Weekend Magazine .   On May 27 , 2004 the Honorable Prudence Carter Beatty signed an Order reverting all rights to Harley , Like a Person to Bauer . That book was republished in a slightly different form in 2007 by Alfred A.

neg: Edward Page Mitchell Edward Page Mitchell ( 1852 -- 1927 ) was an American editorial and short story writer for The Sun , a daily newspaper in New York City . He became that newspaper 's editor in 1897 , succeeding Charles Anderson Dana . Mitchell was recognized as a major figure in the early development of the science fiction genre . Mitchell wrote fiction about a man rendered invisible by scientific means ( `` The Crystal Man '' , published in 1881 ) before H.G. Wells 's The Invisible Man , wrote about a time-travel machine ( `` The Clock that Went Backward '' ) before Wells 's The Time Machine , wrote about faster-than-light travel ( `` The Tachypomp '' ; now perhaps his best-known work ) in 1874 , a thinking computer and a cyborg in 1879 ( `` The Ablest Man in the World '' ) , and also wrote the earliest known stories about matter transmission or teleportation ( `` The Man without a Body '' , 1877 ) and a superior mutant ( `` Old Squids and Little Speller '' ) . `` Exchanging Their Souls '' ( 1877 ) is one of the earliest fictional accounts of mind transfer . Mitchell retired in 1926 , a year before dying of a cerebral hemorrhage .   The gradual rediscovery of Mitchell and his work is a direct result of the publication in 1973 of a book-length anthology of his stories , compiled by Sam Moskowitz with a detailed introduction by Moskowitz giving much information about Mitchell 's personal life . Because Mitchell 's stories were not by-lined on original publication , nor indexed , Moskowitz expended major effort to track down and collect these works by an author whom Moskowitz cited as `` the lost giant of American science fiction '' .   Mitchell 's stories show the strong influence of Edgar Allan Poe . Among other traits , Mitchell shares Poe 's habit of giving a basically serious and dignified fictional character a humorous name , such as `` Professor Dummkopf '' in Mitchell 's `` The Man Without a Body '' . Since Mitchell 's fictions were originally published in newspapers , typeset in the same format as news articles and not identified as fiction , he may possibly have used this device to signal to his readers that this text should not be taken seriously .

neg: Kathy Hamilton Kathy Hamilton is an Illinois elected official who serves as the chairwoman of the Board of Trustees at the College of DuPage , a community college in the Chicago suburbs . She was chosen as chairwoman after the election of three `` clean slate '' candidates backed by Hamilton in April 2015 . Hamilton is a registered CPA and holds a BA and an MBA in finance .   Her term as a trustee of the college has been marked with controversy for her , the college and the college 's top administrators .   When the administration came under media scrutiny in 2014 for a number of incidents related to its spending practices , Hamilton made national headlines for trying to make public the details of the college 's spending . She opposed a tuition hike ; spoke out against the college 's attempt to get a $ 20 million grant from the state ; pushed for transparency following the exposure of the college president spending college funds on personal items ; and openly criticized the college 's spending and accounting practices . Following these events , she was formally censured by the college 's board of trustees .   Following her censure , local and national media outlets published stories supporting Hamilton and chastising the college . The Chicago Tribune criticized the college president 's actions and the board 's censure of Hamilton . Forbes magazine praised her efforts to require public transparency of the college 's finances . The Washington Times gave the college its Golden Hammer Award , which the newspapers uses to spotlight waste , fraud and abuse in government .   Subsequent to the Hamilton 's censure , she continued her public efforts to implement fiscal responsibility and was the only member of the board to vote against a taxpayer-funded $ 760,000 early retirement buyout of the college president 's contract . The buyout also became a widely covered event in the media and invoked negative reactions from the local community and several Illinois state legislators .

neg: Theatrical jousting Coined in the late 20th century by American stunt performer Kent Shelton , the term theatrical jousting refers to a form of live entertainment in which a medieval jousting tournament is recreated in conjunction with a scripted performance .  Alternative terms are `` jousting reenactment '' or `` choreographed jousting '' .   The Hanlon-Lees Action Theater is credited with developing the theatrical joust format in 1979 ; its first appearance was at the New York Renaissance Faire in Tuxedo , New York .  This type of performance has become very popular at various renaissance fairs by the early 2000s .   Typically a three-act affair , the theatrical joust consists of  a display of skill ;  a mock battle which results in a verbal challenge ;  an armed joust on horseback , often `` to the death . ''   A variety of colorful characters , either villainous or heroic , give the audience ( which is usually divided into sectors based upon the number of `` knights '' ) a particular person to root for or against .   As the show must be repeated on a daily or weekly basis , all fights are carefully choreographed and rehearsed .  Horses must be trained to withstand such peculiarities as the clatter of steel weaponry , the occurrence of a rider being knocked from the saddle , and the roar of large crowds . Special makeup and/or property effects are often incorporated into the performance to provide the illusion of violent death or shattering equipment .

'' The New York Times highly praised all the technical aspects and costumes , but felt that it did not succeed in a particularly compelling story , rather it was `` essentially about the kind of wild physical feats that all Cirque shows are about , their jaw-dropping effect multiplied by the huge dimensions of the theatrical space . '' The show has been seen by more than one million spectators since its opening in February 2005 .

neg: Superstar Superstar is a term used to refer to some one who has great popular appeal and is widely known , prominent , or successful in some field .

neg: Undhiyu Undhiyu is a Gujarati mixed vegetable dish that is a regional specialty of Surat , India . The name of this dish comes from the Gujarati word `` undhu '' , which translates to upside down , since the dish is traditionally cooked upside down underground in earthen pots , termed `` matlu '' , which are fired from above .   The dish is a seasonal one , comprising the vegetables that are available on the South Gujarat coastline , including the Surat , Navsari and Valsad regions , during the winter season , including ( amongst others ) green beans or new peas ( typically used along with the tender pod ) , unripe banana , small eggplants , muthia ( dumplings/fritters made with fenugreek leaves and spiced chickpea flour , and either steamed or fried ) , potatoes , and purple yam , and sometimes plantain . These are spiced with a dry curry paste that typically includes cilantro leaves , ginger , garlic , green chili pepper , sugar and sometimes includes freshly grated coconut . The mixture is slow cooked for a long time , with some vegetable oil and a very small amount of water sufficient to steam the root vegetables .   The finished preparation is dry : individual chunks of vegetables are coated with a thin layer of spice and oil but retain their shape : the contents of the dish must therefore be stirred relatively infrequently during the cooking . Crisp vegetables such as bean pods must ideally retain a little of their crunchy texture . To ensure that no individual component is overcooked , the vegetables may need to be cooked in stage : the root vegetables and eggplant are half-cooked before adding the quick-cooking bean pods and ripe plantain . The finished dish is garnished with chopped cilantro leaf and lemon or lime juice before serving .   Surti undhiyu is a variant that is served with puri at weddings and banquets . Again it is a mixed vegetable casserole , made with red lentils and seasoned with spices , grated coconut , and palm sugar in a mild sauce . It is garnished with chopped peanuts and toasted grated coconut , and served with rice .   Undhiyu with puri and shrikhand is often eaten in Gujarati houses during winter season .

neg: Shūmei Shūmei ( 襲名 , `` name succession '' ) are grand naming ceremonies held in kabuki theatre . Most often , a number of actors will participate in a single ceremony , taking on new stage-names .   These stagenames , most often those of the actor 's father , grandfather , or teacher , are passed down between generations of actors ' lineages , and hold great honor and importance . Many names are associated with certain roles or acting styles , and the new possessor of each name must live up to these expectations ; there is the feeling almost of the actor not only taking a name , but embodying the spirit , style , or skill of each actor to previously hold that name . Many actors will go through at least three names over the course of their career , their participation in a shūmei representing their passage into a new chapter of their performing career .   The shūmei usually is followed by a performance significant to the actors ' new names ; these might involve larger parts , a new play , or roles traditional for actors with those names . For example , the stagename of Ichikawa Danjūrō is strongly associated with the role of the hero in the Shibaraku scene . Many of the twelve men to be called Ichikawa Danjūrō have excelled at this role , and so upon becoming the next Ichikawa Danjūrō , an actor may perform that role , which he never would have as a younger , less experienced actor with a different stagename .

neg: Prop comedy Prop comedy is a comedy genre in which performers use humorous objects , or conventional objects in humorous ways . The stages and films term `` prop '' , an abbreviation of `` property '' , refers to any object an actor handles in the course of a performance . Though some form of prop comedy has likely existed as long as there have been comedians , the genre reached its zenith in the vaudeville era . The vaudeville team Olsen and Johnson used prop comedy extensively in their long running Broadway revue Hellzapoppin .   A prop comic is a comedian who uses prop comedy . Prop comics are sometimes looked down upon by other comedians , and the term is sometimes used derisively . However , some , such as Tommy Cooper , rose to critical acclaim as their props revolved around a gimmick ( such as Cooper 's magic ) and the comedian 's character around that gimmick .

neg: Dick Whittington (DJ) `` Sweet '' Dick Whittington ( born 1934 ) is a long-time disc jockey in Los Angeles , who has also appeared as an actor in movies and on television .   Prior to his arrival in California , Whittington was a popular radio personality in the San Francisco Bay area at Oakland 's KROW ( 960 AM ) , where he hosted the Night Watchman overnight program , and , later , a weekday afternoon show , from 1955 to 1958 . In the fall of 1958 , he moved to KSFO ( 560 AM ) in San Francisco , as host of the 9 p.m. to midnight program . He began his stint in Los Angeles at KABC 790 AM , doing a one-hour talk show weekdays and a 3-hour Sunday talk show from 1965-69 .   His greatest fame in the Los Angeles market came after he moved in 1969 to the morning drive time slot at KGIL AM 1260 in the `` Sin Fernando Valley '' . For a brief time , he left KGIL to do the evening drive time slot at KFI AM 640 . He was briefly heard in the late 1980s on KIEV ( 870 AM ) and , for a few months in 1989 , was back at KABC AM .   Many people regard his broadcast style as being ahead of its time . Rather than the `` happy morning to you '' type of radio personality , he often spoke on the air about things that bothered him and foreshadowed the Howard Stern era of speaking your mind . At stations where he was still spinning records , he would many times interrupt a song midway through saying , `` I like it up to that point , then I get bored . ''   He was an ensemble member of the top-rated TV series Rowan And Martin 's Laugh-In ( 1968-69 season ) . One of Whittington 's notable film roles was as the disc jockey in the TV movie Duel , Steven Spielberg 's directorial debut . He can also be seen briefly as a ring announcer in Martin Scorsese 's Raging Bull .

neg: Humbug A humbug is a person or object that behaves in a deceptive or dishonest way , often as a hoax or in jest . The term was first described in 1751 as student slang , and recorded in 1840 as a `` nautical phrase '' . It is now also often used as an exclamation to mean nonsense or gibberish .   When referring to a person , a humbug means a fraud or impostor , implying an element of unjustified publicity and spectacle . In modern usage , the word is most associated with the character Ebenezer Scrooge , created by Charles Dickens in his novella `` A Christmas Carol '' . His famous reference to Christmas , `` Bah ! Humbug ! '' , declaring Christmas to be a fraud , is commonly used in stage and television versions of A Christmas Carol and also appeared frequently in the original book . The word is also prominently used in The Wizard of Oz , in which the Scarecrow refers to the wizard as a humbug , and the wizard agrees .   Another use of the word was by John Collins Warren , a Harvard Medical School professor who worked at Massachusetts General Hospital . Dr. Warren performed the first public operation with the use of ether anesthesia , administered by William Thomas Green Morton , a dentist . To the stunned audience at the Massachusetts General Hospital , Dr. Warren declared , `` Gentlemen , this is no humbug . ''
