query: Marlon Brando took part in a film in 1953.

pos: The Wild One The Wild One is a 1953 American film directed by László Benedek and produced by Stanley Kramer . It is most noted for the character of Johnny Strabler ( Marlon Brando ) , whose persona became a cultural icon of the 1950s . The Wild One is considered to be the original outlaw biker film , and the first to examine American outlaw motorcycle gang violence .   The film 's screenplay was based on Frank Rooney 's short story `` The Cyclists ' Raid '' , published in the January 1951 Harper 's Magazine and anthologized in The Best American Short Stories 1952 . Rooney 's story was inspired by sensationalistic media coverage of an American Motorcyclist Association motorcycle rally that got out of hand on the Fourth of July weekend in 1947 in Hollister , California . The overcrowding , drinking and street stunting were given national attention in the July 21 , 1947 issue of Life Magazine , with a staged photograph of a wild drunken man on a motorcycle . The events , conflated with the newspaper and magazine reports , Rooney 's short story , and the film The Wild One are part of the legend of the Hollister riot .

pos: Marlon Brando Marlon Brando , Jr. ( April 3 , 1924 -- July 1 , 2004 ) was an American actor , film director and political activist . He is credited with bringing realism to film acting . He helped to popularize the Stanislavski system of acting , studying with Stella Adler in the 1940s . Brando is widely known for his Academy Award-winning performances as Terry Malloy in On the Waterfront ( 1954 ) and Vito Corleone in The Godfather ( 1972 ) , as well as his performances in A Streetcar Named Desire ( 1951 ) , Viva Zapata ! ( 1952 ) , Julius Caesar ( 1953 ) , The Wild One ( 1953 ) , Guys and Dolls ( 1955 ) , Sayonara ( 1957 ) , Reflections in a Golden Eye ( 1967 ) , Last Tango in Paris ( 1972 ) , and Apocalypse Now ( 1979 ) . Brando was also an activist for many causes , notably the Civil Rights Movement and various Native American movements .   He initially gained acclaim and an Academy Award nomination for reprising the role of Stanley Kowalski in the 1951 film adaptation of Tennessee Williams ' play A Streetcar Named Desire , a role that he had originated successfully on Broadway . He received further praise for his performance as Terry Malloy in On the Waterfront , and his portrayal of the rebel motorcycle gang leader Johnny Strabler in The Wild One proved to be a lasting image in popular culture . Brando received Academy Award nominations for playing Emiliano Zapata in Viva Zapata ! ; Mark Antony in Joseph L. Mankiewicz 's 1953 film adaptation of Shakespeare 's Julius Caesar ; and Air Force Major Lloyd Gruver in Sayonara ( 1957 ) , an adaption of James Michener 's 1954 novel . Brando was included in a list of Top Ten Money Making Stars three times in the 1950s , coming in at number 10 in 1954 , number 6 in 1955 , and number 4 in 1958 .   The 1960s proved to be a fallow decade for Brando . He directed and starred in the cult western film One-Eyed Jacks , a critical and commercial flop , after which he delivered a series of box-office failures , beginning with the 1962 film adaptation of the novel Mutiny on the Bounty . After 10 years , during which he did not appear in a successful film , he won his second Academy Award for playing Vito Corleone in Francis Ford Coppola 's The Godfather , a role critics consider among his greatest . The Godfather was then one of the most commercially successful films of all time . With that and his Oscar-nominated performance in Last Tango in Paris , Brando re-established himself in the ranks of top box-office stars , placing sixth and tenth in the Money Making Stars poll in 1972 and 1973 , respectively . Brando took a four-year hiatus before appearing in The Missouri Breaks ( 1976 ) . After this , he was content with being a highly paid character actor in cameo roles , such as in Superman ( 1978 ) and The Formula ( 1980 ) , before taking a nine-year break from motion pictures . According to the Guinness Book of World Records , Brando was paid a record $ 3.7 million ( $ million in inflation-adjusted dollars ) and 11.75 % of the gross profits for 13 days ' work on Superman . He finished out the 1970s with his controversial performance as Colonel Kurtz in another Coppola film , Apocalypse Now , a box-office hit for which he was highly paid and which helped finance his career layoff during the 1980s .   Brando was ranked by the American Film Institute as the fourth-greatest movie star among male movie stars whose screen debuts occurred in or before 1950 . He was one of only three professional actors , along with Charlie Chaplin and Marilyn Monroe , named in 1999 by Time magazine as one of its 100 Most Important People of the Century . He died of respiratory failure on July 1 , 2004 , at age 80 .

With an estimated population of 4,067,175 as of 2016 census , it is Canada 's fourth-most populous province and the most populous of Canada 's three prairie provinces . Its area is about 660,000 km2 . Alberta and its neighbour Saskatchewan were districts of the Northwest Territories until they were established as provinces on September 1 , 1905 . The premier has been Rachel Notley since May 2015 .   Alberta is bounded by the provinces of British Columbia to the west and Saskatchewan to the east , the Northwest Territories to the north , and the U.S. state of Montana to the south . Alberta is one of three Canadian provinces and territories to border only a single U.S. state and one of only two landlocked provinces . It has a predominantly humid continental climate , with stark contrasts over a year but seasonal temperature average swings are smaller than to areas further east , due to winters being warmed by occasional chinook winds bringing sudden warming .   Alberta 's capital , Edmonton , is near the geographic centre of the province and is the primary supply and service hub for Canada 's crude oil , the Athabasca oil sands and other northern resource industries .   About south of the capital is Calgary , the largest city in Alberta . Calgary and Edmonton centre Alberta 's two census metropolitan areas , both of which have populations exceeding one million , while the province has 16 census agglomerations . Tourist destinations in the province include Banff , Canmore , Drumheller , Jasper and Sylvan Lake .

neg: Palliser Region The Palliser Region is an area in the southeast corner of the province of Alberta , Canada that has been delineated and is serviced by the Palliser Economic Partnership . It borders the Canadian province of Saskatchewan to the east , and the US state of Montana to the south . It covers an area of 43,504 km2 The total population of the area stood at 112,314 in 2009 . The city of Medicine Hat , with a population of 61,097 , is the area 's largest urban centre .   The Palliser Region is the traditional territory of the Blackfoot Confederacy , who hunted bison throughout the area . From 1857 to 1860 , the area was explored as part of the Palliser Expedition , led by John Palliser . He described the area of southeast Alberta and southwest Saskatchewan -- now known as the Palliser Triangle -- as semi-arid , and warned that it was unsuitable for agricultural development . European settlement began with the arrival of the North-West Mounted Police in the mid 19th century . Fort Walsh was established by Police Inspector James Morrow Walsh , who became a good friend of Sitting Bull when he led the Sioux to the area after the Battle of Little Big Horn .   Despite the area 's semi-arid climate , the British government encouraged farmers to settle in the region . They struggled with drought up until the end of the 1930s , and many settlers abandoned their farms due to crop failure , but dryland farming techniques introduced by the Prairie Farm Rehabilitation Administration eventually transformed the region into a successful agricultural centre .   The region 's geography is characterized by grasslands -- including the Cypress Hills -- and classic badlands country . The region receives more than 2,512 hours of sunshine per year on average , making it the sunniest area in Canada .   The Palliser Region is intersected by two major highways , # 1 and # 3 on the east -- west axis , connecting it to the rest of Canada , and two secondary highways , # 36 and # 41 , on the north -- south axis , which connect it to the US border . It is served by the Canadian Pacific Railway , which connects it to the rest of North America via connections with its affiliates . This transportation infrastructure is key to the region 's economy , which is based on agriculture , oil and gas , manufacturing , defence and aerospace , and tourism .   The three fastest growing economic sectors in the Palliser Region are Mining and Oil and Gas Extraction , Professional , Scientific and Technical Services , and Finance , Insurance , Real Estate and Leasing . Employment in the region is currently increasing at more than double the Canadian average .

neg: Provincial historic sites of Alberta Provincial historic sites of Alberta are museums and historic sites run by the Government of Alberta .   Only sites owned by the provincial government and run as a functioning historic site or museum are known as Provincial Historic Sites . Buildings and sites owned by private citizens and companies or other levels or branches of government may gain one of two levels of historic designation , `` Registered Historic Resource '' or `` Provincial Historic Resource '' .

neg: Grassi Lakes The Upper and Lower Grassi Lakes lie at an elevation of about 1525 m in the southern Canadian Rockies overlooking the town of Canmore , Alberta . They receive their water from the Spray Lakes Reservoir on the Spray River . The land is part of the Canmore Nordic Centre Provincial Park , which is part of the Kananaskis Country park system .   The lakes are named after Lawrence Grassi ( 1890 -- 1980 ) , an Italian who emigrated to Canada in 1912 . After working for the Canadian Pacific Railway for several years , he began work as a miner in the Canmore coal mines in 1916 . Grassi went on to become a well-respected climbing guide and built many trails in the area , including the one to the Grassi Lakes that bear his name .   The small , emerald-colored Grassi Lakes are a popular destination for hikers and rock climbers . They lie at the foot of grey cliffs that are about 75 m high . The cliffs are part of the Cairn Formation , a fossil reef that formed during the Late Devonian period . The primary reef-forming organisms were stromatoporoids , a long-extinct type of bulbous sponge . The cliff is a favorite of rock climbers who use the pockets left by the sponges as hand - and foot-holds .   Rock paintings that are more than 1,000 years old can be found near the top of the canyon beyond the lakes . They are believed to have been painted by the ancestors of the Kootenai Indians .

neg: Alberta general election, 1963 The Alberta general election of 1963 was the fifteenth general election for the Province of Alberta , Canada . It was held on June 17 , 1963 to elect members of the Legislative Assembly of Alberta .   The Social Credit Party , led by Ernest C. Manning , won its eighth consecutive term in government , winning roughly the same number of seats in the legislature and share of popular vote that it had in the 1959 election .   Some Social Credit supporters were so confident of their party 's chances that they talked of winning `` 63 in ' 63 '' , i.e. , all 63 seats in the legislature in the 1963 election . They fell short of this goal , but still had an overwhelming majority , reducing the opposition to only three MLAs in total . Indeed , as a share of the overall seats available , this represented Social Credit 's greatest victory in its 36-year reign .   Much of the opposition vote shifted away from the Progressive Conservative Party , now led by Milt Harradence , resulting in the party losing its sole seat .   The Liberal Party was a partial beneficiary of the PC Party 's decline , but picked up only one additional seat , for a total of two , despite winning almost 20 % of the popular vote .   1963 was the last year in Alberta provincial politics when an MLA was acclaimed with the acclamation of Leonard Halmrast in Taber-Warner .   After the PCs won power , they would later speak of `` 79 in ' 79 '' .

neg: Alberta Social Credit Party The Alberta Social Credit Party is a provincial political party in Alberta , Canada , that was founded on social credit monetary policy put forward by Clifford Hugh Douglas and on conservative Christian social values . The Canadian social credit movement was largely an out-growth of the Alberta Social Credit Party . The Social Credit Party of Canada was strongest in Alberta , before developing a base in Quebec when Réal Caouette agreed to merge his Ralliement créditiste movement into the federal party . The British Columbia Social Credit Party formed the government for many years in neighbouring British Columbia , although this was effectively a coalition of centre-right forces in the province that had no interest in social credit monetary policies .   The Alberta Social Credit party won a majority government in 1935 , in the first election it contested , barely months after its formation . During its first years , when led by William Aberhart , it was a radical monetary reform party , at least in theory if not in effect . After Aberhart 's death in 1943 and the rise to leadership of Ernest Manning , followed quickly by the discovery of oil in north-central Alberta and its accompanying wealth for many , Social Credit changed to a pro-business , anti-union , anti-government-interventionist style of governing . It stayed in power until 1971 , one of the longest unbroken runs in government at the provincial level in Canada . However , it has held no seats since 1982 , and finished a distant seventh in the 2012 and 2015 general elections .

neg: Moshe Cotel Moshe Cotel ( February 20 , 1943 -- October 24 , 2008 ) was a pianist and composer whose music was strongly influenced by his Jewish roots . Cotel moved from his Jewish roots to focus on music for most of his life , and received his rabbinic ordination and synagogue pulpit in the years before his death .   Morris Cotel was born February 20 , 1943 in Baltimore , and was raised in an Orthodox Jewish family . As a youth , Cotel was simultaneously enrolled in the Talmudical Academy of Baltimore and the Peabody Conservatory of the Johns Hopkins University where he studied music and took college-preparatory classes , having enrolled at the age of 9 . He wrote a 200-page symphony as a 13-year-old , to the astonishment of his piano teacher at Peabody who did not believe him until he pulled the completed score out of his bag .   He earned bachelor 's and master 's degrees at the Juilliard School in New York City , in 1964 and 1965 respectively . Cotel won the American Academy in Rome Prize for music composition at age 23 , and studied art in Italy for two years . Cotel had been a professor of music composition at the Peabody Conservatory in Baltimore from 1972 , until he retired in 2000 . After moving to New York City in 1977 , he retained his position at Peabody , commuting to Baltimore on a weekly basis .   A review in The New York Times of a 1977 performance at what is now the Weill Recital Hall at Carnegie Hall , opened with the statement `` That Morris Cotel is a composer-pianist of unusual capabilities seems beyond question . ''   His opera Deronda was based on the title character in George Eliot 's novel Daniel Deronda , a Victorian era English Jew who combines proto-Zionism with Kabbalistic ideas . The Fire and the Mountains is a cantata he wrote that memorializes the Holocaust . The choral piece Trope for Orchestra integrated cantillation used in public readings of the Torah in synagogue . His 1985 two-act opera Dreyfus was based on the trial and conviction of the unjustly accused French officer Alfred Dreyfus and the anti-Semitism it aroused in France .   In anticipation of a trip to Germany and Austria for performances of his opera Dreyfus , Cotel engaged the assistance of a Holocaust survivor from Washington Heights , Manhattan to help improve his German language skills . Cotel later met the same woman , who told him that hearing his efforts to spread the story of Alfred Dreyfus had convinced her to return to Judaism . This encounter convinced Cotel to become a rabbi . As Cotel described the encounter , `` Without knowing it , I had changed this woman 's life , and she had no idea that she had just changed mine '' . He enrolled part-time at the Academy for Jewish Religion in Riverdale shortly after his encounter in Washington Heights . He retired from the Peabody Conservatory from his position as chairman of the composition department in 2003 to devote his full-time efforts to his rabbinical studies and received his rabbinic ordination three years later . `` My religion changed from Judaism to classical music , and in adulthood it changed back again '' were the words Cotel used to describe his transformations .   While playing piano in 1996 , his 3-year-old cat , Ketzel , jumped on the keyboard . Cotel transcribed the descending paw pattern and entered the score in the Paris New Music Review 's One-Minute Competition for pieces under 60 seconds , with Cotel winning honorable mention .   Rabbi Cotel spent his last five years before his death as spiritual leader of Temple Beth El of Manhattan Beach , Brooklyn . Cotel died of natural causes on October 24 , 2008 at age 65 in his apartment on the Upper West Side of Manhattan home . His wife found him on the floor wearing his tallit and tefillin for the morning prayer service , and had assumed he was meditating , knowing that he preferred to pray alone each morning for two hours , before realizing that he had died peacefully .

neg: Infinity Records Infinity Records was a short-lived subsidiary of MCA Records established in New York City in 1978 . The label was conceived by MCA president Sidney Sheinberg as a way for the Los Angeles-based entertainment conglomerate to improve its presence on the East Coast . Ron Alexenberg , who had previously been the head of the Epic Records division of CBS Records ( now part of Sony Music Entertainment ) was hired as CEO .   The biggest hit the Infinity label had was `` Escape '' by Rupert Holmes , which was number 1 at the end of 1979 . Other acts that had chart entries on Infinity included Dobie Gray , Hot Chocolate , New England , Orleans and Spyro Gyra . Under the distribution of MCA , the Infinity Records label released titles in the US , Canada , the UK , Japan and parts of Europe .   Infinity spent lavishly but failed to earn a profit . In addition to developing new talent , Infinity also paid substantial sums to acquire established artists . Most of the established artists were unable to duplicate their previous success .   In October 1979 , Infinity released Pope John Paul II Sings at the Festival of Sacrosong , an album of speeches and songs sung by Pope John Paul II in his native Polish . Due to the tremendous popularity of the new Pope , Infinity thought the record would be a major hit . The company paid a substantial fee ( which went to charity ) to the Catholic Church to obtain exclusive rights to the recording . The album briefly peaked at # 126 on the Billboard 200 albums chart , however , it received poor reviews and was quickly seen as a colossal failure . Most of the one million advance copies of the John Paul II album were returned unsold to the label , producing a huge financial loss . MCA pulled the plug on Infinity Records in November 1979 , and the Infinity catalog was immediately absorbed by the parent company . Rupert Holmes and Spyro Gyra were the only Infinity acts to be retained by MCA , and most of the label 's catalog went out of print .   The collapse of Infinity also coincided with rising costs of manufacturing for vinyl LP records and a huge sales slump for the music industry . Infinity has since become known as one of the most expensive failures in the history of the record business .   There are at least two other smaller record labels that also have used the name Infinity Records . One of these other labels was a subsidiary of Festival Records , which for many years was Australia 's leading independent record company , but is now also defunct . Other companies with the Infinity Records name do not have an affiliation with MCA .

neg: E=MC² (Mariah Carey album) E = MC ² is the eleventh studio album by American singer and songwriter Mariah Carey . It was released in the United States on April 15 , 2008 by Island Records . The singer began recording the album in 2007 in Anguilla , after writing and composing most of its material during and after her 2006 Adventures of Mimi Tour . Carey worked with several notable songwriters and producers during the course of the project , including Jermaine Dupri , Bryan-Michael Cox , Stargate , The-Dream , Tricky Stewart , Scott Storch and Danja .   The album revealed a more personal side of the singer , illustrated in its declarative theme of emancipation from her previous marriage , and from her personal and professional setbacks . Although it shared similar vocal production as well as an inclination to her signature pop and R&B ballads , the album also encompassed a variety of dance-oriented and uptempo styles . It was meant to be a continuation , or a second part of her tenth studio album , The Emancipation of Mimi ( 2005 ) . Carey collaborated with a number of artists on the album , including T-Pain , Damian Marley and Young Jeezy . Though considered by critics very similar to the formula its predecessor had been built on , E = MC ² included other genres she had never explored , such as reggae , and her continued recording of gospel-influenced hymns .   E = MC ² was generally well received by music critics , with many complimenting the record 's broad genre influences , and musical and production styles . Some critics , however , felt that the album was too similar to The Emancipation of Mimi , and did n't offer anything new from the formula . The album debuted at number one on the US Billboard 200 with opening week sales of 463,000 copies ; the highest first-week sales of Carey 's career . It opened inside the top-five on the albums chart in Australia , Canada , Switzerland and the United Kingdom . The album achieved worldwide sales of over 2.5 million copies .   Four singles were commission in promotion of the album . The album 's lead single , `` Touch My Body '' , became Carey 's eighteenth chart topper on the Billboard Hot 100 , making her the solo artist with the most number one singles in United States history , surpassing the record held by Elvis Presley . Additionally , it gave Carey her 79th week atop the chart , tying Presley for most weeks at number one . It achieved strong worldwide charting , peaking within the top five of the singles charts in Italy , Japan , New Zealand , Switzerland and the United Kingdom . `` Bye Bye '' served as the album 's second release . Although hailed by critics , and expected to have achieved large commercial success , the song stalled at number nineteen on the Hot 100 , and managed to chart weakly internationally . Both the third and fourth singles , `` I 'll Be Lovin ' U Long Time '' and `` I Stay in Love '' failed to garner success in any prominent music market .

neg: Dub music Dub is a genre of music that grew out of reggae in the 1960s , and is commonly considered a subgenre , though it has developed to extend beyond the scope of reggae . Music in this genre consists predominantly of instrumental remixes of existing recordings and is achieved by significantly manipulating and reshaping the recordings , usually by removing the vocals from an existing music piece , and emphasizing the drum and bass parts ( this stripped-down track is sometimes referred to as a riddim ) . Other techniques include dynamically adding extensive echo , reverb , panoramic delay , and occasional dubbing of vocal or instrumental snippets from the original version or other works . It was an early form of popular electronic music .   Dub was pioneered by Osbourne `` King Tubby '' Ruddock , Lee `` Scratch '' Perry , Errol Thompson and others in the late 1960s . Augustus Pablo is credited with bringing the melodica to dub , and is also among the pioneers and creators of the genre . Similar experiments with recordings at the mixing desk outside of the dancehall environment were also done by producers Clive Chin and Herman Chin Loy . These producers , especially Ruddock and Perry , looked upon the mixing console as an instrument , manipulating tracks to come up with something new and different .  Dub has influenced many genres of music , including rock ( most significantly the subgenre of post-punk and other kinds of punk ) , pop , hip hop , disco , and later house , techno , ambient , electronic dance music , and trip hop . Dub has become a basis for the genres of jungle and drum and bass Traditional dub has survived , and some of the originators , such as Lee `` Scratch '' Perry and Mad Professor , continue to produce new material .
