 the Foreign Office resident clerk (the political night duty officer), he was assigned to the Western Union Secretariat, which led the UK drafting of the North Atlantic Treaty.In November 1949 he was posted to the British Embassy in Paris, France, partly because of his knowledge of French, which was developed during his schooling in Switzerland. <mask> <mask> was second secretary in the Chancery (political section), responsible for monitoring North Africa, covering Egypt to Tangier. With the French sceptical of Anglo-American intentions in North Africa and French internal politics then dominated with the rise in electoral power of the French Communist Party, <mask> <mask> was chosen by the British Ambassador to France, Sir Oliver Harvey, to do the internal political reporting of French concerns. Churchill's private secretary
In September 1952, <mask> <mask> was chosen to be Private Secretary for Foreign Affairs to the Prime Minister, Winston Churchill. Until 1955, the role was undertaken jointly with Jock Colville. When Churchill retired in 1955, <mask> <mask> briefly returned to the Foreign Office but in the same year was seconded to continue as Churchill's private secretary. He stayed with Churchill for the rest of Churchill's life.At first, Churchill was doubtful of him and observed, "I dare say we will get on very well together". As well as his duties as a chief of staff, <mask> <mask> lunched and dined with Churchill and provided an opponent for his favourite card game, rubicon (six pack bezique). He also accompanied Churchill on his trips abroad. After Churchill's fall in Monaco in June 1962 when he broke his hip, <mask> <mask> arranged and accompanied him on the RAF flight back to

He then worked for companies in the City of London, including International Life Insurance and Gerrard and National.He also served as a trustee of the Winston Churchill Memorial Trust in the UK. In 1988 he made an extended appearance on the television discussion programme After Dark alongside among others David Irving, Lord Hailsham and Jack Jones. The topic under discussion was "Winston Churchill: Hero or Madman". It was stated in the programme introduction that it was the first time that <mask> <mask> had "spoken at length about Winston Churchill" in public. <mask> <mask>'s memoir of his time with Churchill, published originally in 1995, offered further affectionate, if carefully discreet, insights into the statesman's final years. Personal life

<mask>, Sc.D. (December 1, 1854 – March 6, 1937) was an American zoologist, conservationist, taxidermist, and author. He served as the first director of the New York Zoological Park, known today as the Bronx Zoo, and he was a pioneer in the early wildlife conservation movement in the United States. Biography
<mask> was born in Avon, Indiana, and educated at Oskaloosa College, the Iowa State Agricultural College (now Iowa State University) and in Europe. After serving as a taxidermist at Henry Augustus Ward's Natural Science Establishment in Rochester, New York, he spent 1.5 years, 1877–1878 in India and Ceylon collecting specimens. In May 1878 he reached southeast Asia and traveled in Malaya and Sarawak in Borneo. His travels inspired his first publication, Two Years in the Jungle (1885).In 1882 he was appointed chief taxidermist of the United States National Museum, a post he held until his resignation in 1890. In his position at the museum, Hornaday was tasked with inventorying the museum's specimen collection of American Buffalo, which was meager. He then undertook a census of bison by "writing to ranchers, hunters, army officers, and zookeepers across the American West and in Canada." Based on firsthand accounts, Hornaday estimated that as recently as 1867 there were approximately 15 million wild bison in the American West. Through his census, he ascertained that those numbers had rapidly depleted. In a letter written to his superior at the Smithsonian, George Brown Goode, Hornaday reported that, "in the United States the extermination of all the large herds of buffalo is already an accomplished fact." In 1886

 to success more movements for the protection of wild animal life than has any other man in America." Influence on Scouting

Hornaday had a large impact on the Scouting movement and especially the Boy Scouts of America (BSA). Not only is there a series of conservation awards previously named after him, but his beliefs and writings were a major reason conservation and ecology have long been an important part of the BSA's program.This awards program was created in 1915 by Dr. Hornaday. He named the award the Wildlife Protection Medal. Its purpose was to challenge Americans to work constructively for wildlife conservation and habitat protection. After his death in 1938, the award was renamed in Dr. <mask>'s honor and became a BSA award. In October 2020, the BSA changed the name of the award to the BSA Distinguished Conservation Service Award as they felt that Hornaday's values "go against the BSA’s values, and we determined that, given this information, the conservation award should no longer bear his name in order to uphold our commitment against racism and discrimination." Personal life
Hornaday married Josephine Chamberlain in 1879. They were married for fifty-eight years, until his death.The Hornadays had one daughter, Helen. Hornaday died in Stamford, Connecticut and was buried at Putnam Cemetery in Greenwich, Connecticut. A year after his death, in 1938, at the suggestion of President Franklin Delano Roosevelt, the National Park Service named a peak, Mount Hornaday, in the Absaroka Range in Yellowstone National Park for him.

<mask> (1903–1967) was a French photographer and painter. Early life

Born in Saigon, in 1903, into the wealthy colonial industrialist family of Felix Marius Alphonse Dupont and Cecile Leonie Audra, <mask> renamed himself <mask> to go at age 17 to study painting (1920–1924) at École nationale supérieure des arts décoratifs and at the private Grande Chaumiere Academy of Fine Arts (still located in Paris at 14, Rue de la Grande Chaumiere), until 1924. Surrealism

Associated with poet Robert Desnos and painter André Derain and the Surrealists, Savitry exhibited in 1929 at dealer Zborowski's gallery a sellout show, the catalogue essay of which was penned by celebrated Surrealist poet Louis Aragon (1897-1982). However, though on the threshold of artistic fame he decamped to Polynesia. Commentators propose different reasons for this decision; "He had more than one string to his art," wrote Claude Roy in 1972, "painting, photography, travel (and doing nothing). But what did not interest him was to be successful." (and as a wealthy man, despite the 1929 recession, Savitry did not need the proceeds of success); Barbara Creed notes that "The Surrealists saw travel as a means to achieve a state of dépaysement "; while another factor may have been the disagreements between the Surrealists over their association with Communism, which reached a climax with André Breton's letter of provocation to the group, and meeting with them on 11 March 1929, on the issue of working collectively, to which idea Savitry was amongst the majority of the group in responding positively, innocently naming the reluctant, and soon to be expelled, Desnos as a desirable collaborator

 .<mask> was accompanied on his journey to the tropics by surrealist painter Georges Malkin and Yvette Ledoux, a young American woman whom he'd just met. On arrival she chose to go with Malkin. <mask> had taken a Gaumont Block-Notes 6x9 camera, so named for its shape and its ingenious sheet magazine (see: http://camera-wiki.org/wiki/Gaumont_Block-Notes), and happened upon an beached 'ghost ship'. Friedrich W. Murnau, in the middle of shooting his ill-fated movie Tabou, was impressed by <mask>'s boat picture and engaged him on his team to research Polynesian iconography and to make film stills. Photojournalism

On return to Paris in 1930 <mask> commenced a career as a photographer, co-founding with Charles Rado, Brassaï and Ergy Landau in 1933 the Rapho agency. For Rapho, he covered the massive refugee influx into the South of France from the Spanish Civil War. His reportage for Match and other magazines also features his close friend Django Reinhardt, whom he met in Toulon and whose installation with his family in Paris he sponsored, introducing Django into the jazz scene at La Boîte à Matelots at 10 rue Fontaine.From 1932 to 1934, he assisted Brassaï (1899–1984). In February 1939, his reportage on the rue Pigalle theatre precinct is published in Paris Match. Mobilized in September 1939, he joined the battalion of Engineering in Avignon. On 2 April 1940, at Hyères, he married the Argentinean painter and illustrator Elsa Henriquez (1915  ?–2010), daughter of Peruvian dancer Helba Huara (1900–1989) and Peruvian journalist Gonzalo More, and through them Savitry met and photographed a number of Argentinian poets and writers. They had a son, Francis

 "Paco" Dupont. After the war, he helped to revive the Rapho agency in Paris, joined there by Robert Doisneau and Willy Ronis. He was later a regular contributor to fashion magazines Vogue, Jardin des Modes and Harper's Bazaar.He was also published in the 1950s in Regards, Visages du Monde, Cavalcade, Point de Vue and Images du Monde, Caliban, Picture Post and Réalités. Portraits

He is best known for his portraits of mid-century personalities, many of whom were close friends: actors Anouk Aimée, Brigitte Bardot, Pierre Brasseur,  Madeleine Renaud, Serge Reggiani and Charlie Chaplin, film directors  Jacques Prévert and Marcel Carné, sculptors Alberto Giacometti, Victor Brauner and Oscar Dominiguez, Marcel Jean,  Bertold Bartosch, Pierre Loeb, musicians Django Reinhardt, Claude Luter, Édith Piaf, writer Colette, transvestite sculptor Anton Prinner, and Surrealist painter Germain Vandersteen. Film stills (1942–1950)
During the war Savitry corresponded with filmmaker Paul Grimault (who was posted the Lower Rhine), and made stills from 1942 for Jacques Prévert and Marcel Carné. In 1947 he moves to Belle Île to be on the set of Carné's La Fleur de l'âge, making a famous image of Anouk Aimée holding a kitten. He also worked for the director Pierre Billon and Jean Grémillon.

<mask> (born 1955) is an American poet, translator, critic, and anthologist. His work, much of it meta-fictional and/or satirical in approach, has provoked a notable measure of controversy and debate within English-language poetry circles. Career
Since the late 1990s, <mask> has widely been thought to be the author of the Araki Yasusada writings, which a reviewer for the Nation magazine, in 1998, called “the most controversial work of poetry since Allen Ginsberg’s Howl.”  <mask>, however, has never officially claimed authorship of the material, presenting himself only as “executor” of an archive supposedly composed by a writer, or writers, whose choice has been to maintain a principled anonymity in relation to the work. In recent years, the Yasusada discussion has moved from the realm of literary scandal and gossip into considerations of more scholarly kind, and a substantial number of academic articles have by now engaged the topic, pro and con. In 2011, a book of critical studies, Scubadivers and Chrysanthemums: Essays on the Poetry of Araki Yasusada, was published in England, to which <mask> was one of eighteen contributors. Lyric Poetry after Auschwitz: Eleven Submissions to the War (its contents later included into a larger collection, Homage to the Last Avant-Garde, 2009) was published in 2005. As the first book of poetry in the United States to respond to the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq, it was the subject of numerous reviews and blog commentaries, a good deal of the latter hostile.The title poem of the collection, “Lyric Poetry after

texts: Auschwitz, or: Get the Hood Back On,” angrily confronts the torture committed at Abu Ghraib and elsewhere, though it does so in a manner quite non-conventional for “anti-war” poetry: The poem proceeds in a series of stanzas set in the voices of American military prison guards, who calmly chat with Iraqi prisoners and sociably describe their quite normal backgrounds at home, before graphically informing the prisoners of the tortures to which they will be subjected. The poem, however, concludes unexpectedly when the voice of a generic U. S. poet joins the chorus of torturers, and in good-natured tone tells his captive to stop pleading and just accept the horror of his fate, because there is, after all, nothing that poetry can do to help him. More recently, <mask> became the focus of controversy, including threatened legal action, when he published a book that proposed, by means of an elaborate, forensically detailed hypothesis (supplemented in the book by a quasi-detective novella), that the poet Kenneth Koch may have been the hidden author of “A True Account of Talking to the Sun at Fire Island,” one of Frank O’Hara’s canonical poems, composing it shortly after O’Hara’s death, and then placing it under his late friend’s name in a sui generis act of comradeship and mourning. First published in a limited edition in 2011, an expanded, second edition of this book, titled A Question Mark above the Sun: Documents on the Mystery Surrounding a Famous Poem "by" Frank O’Hara, was published in 2012 and named a “Book of the Year” by the Times Literary

She was also reelected as general Councillor of the Royal Society Te Apārangi in 2018. Two years later she was on the list of the BBC's 100 Women announced on 23 November 2020. <mask> is also working on finding new antibiotics by screening 10,000 New Zealand fungi for possible medical use.Bioluminescent Superbugs Lab

<mask> leads the Bioluminescent Superbugs Lab at the University of Auckland which focuses on how glowing bacteria can advance the understanding of microbial infections such as food poisoning, tuberculosis and hospital superbugs. The bioluminescence is used to speed up the process of developing new antibiotics utilising the light emitted from the bacteria, because only living bacteria emit light. About her work <mask> says "My career has been built on making nasty bacteria bioluminescent and using them for all sorts of things, including finding new medicines". New Zealand has some of the highest rates of infectious diseases among developed countries. Globally 700,000 people die each year from drug-resistant diseases. Science communication

<mask> is passionate about demystifying science for the general public. She is an active blogger on Sciblogs.co.nz, an online podcaster, a commentator on Radio New Zealand and appears on TV shows to discuss science stories in the news.She was one of the eight scientists who fronted the "Great New Zealand Science Project", the New Zealand government's public engagement programme leading to the National Science Challenges in 2012. She commissioned, co-wrote, and appeared with her daughter in the TVNZ online children's science show Siouxsie & Eve Investigate. From 2010 until 2016 <mask> was co-host of the Completely Unnecessary Skeptical Podcast which focused on skepticism in New Zealand.

In their response, <mask> and Hendy argued that Mātauranga Māori complemented Western knowledge systems. They also claimed that the diminishing role of indigenous knowledge in science was "simply another tool for exclusion and exploitation" and that mistrust in science was fuelled by scientific racism, colonialism, and injustice. By 30 July, Hendry and <mask>' counter-letter had attracted more than 2,000 signatures.In mid-September 2021, <mask> criticised the New Zealand Government's decision to abandon its COVID-19 elimination strategy, asserting that this would put the unvaccinated and vulnerable at risk. During the launch of the COVID-19 Protection Framework (traffic light system) in December 2021, <mask> urged Aucklanders to put aside their summer holiday plans in order to contain the spread of the Delta variant within the community. In late December 2021, <mask> and Hendy lodged a complaint with the Employment Relations Authority against the University of Auckland for allegedly not protecting them from abuse by anti-lockdown and anti-vaccination elements. According to the Authority, the pair had been harassed at home and work, and also endured personal attacks. <mask> and Hendy had been raising concerns about their personal safety to the University since April 2020. In August 2021, the University had advised them to reduce their public commentary and social media interaction; which Hendy and <mask> regarded as insufficient. The Employment Relations Authority also expedited their complaint, allowing it to proceed to the Employment Court, and ordered the University of Auckland to pay their legal fees.Books and

Qadi
In addition to being a fighter and scholar who mastered the science of religion, before the outbreak of Cilegon war, Wasyid also served as an advisor to the Supreme Court (qadi) in Afdeling Cilegon. Da'wah
Wasyid was known as an ulama who preaches from one place to another to rekindle the spirit of jihad and invite people away from the act of shirk in the midst of a society that at that time trust in superstition. In 1887 before the Cilegon war, in the village of Lebak Kelapa, there was a big tree that was worshiped and considered sacred, able to destroy the disaster and grant the request as long as giving offerings to Jinn. Time and again Wasyid reminded the peoples that asking other than to Allah is shirk, but the warning was

 battle, Wasyid led the preparations of war by promoting the practice of pencak silat, the gathering and making of weapons, and burning the spirit through his sermons to wage war and jihad. On June 15, 1888, several prominent leaders met at Wasyid's house in Beji, where they talked about the date of the start of the attack. They reached an agreement that the uprising would begin on July 12. However, after the meeting of June 22, 1888, the date of the rebellion was changed to 9 July 1888. This was because <mask> and Hajji Iskak called for an immediate rebellion in anticipation of the possibility of their plans known by government officials. As the chief of operations, Wasyid began to organize attack strategy, he divided troops in several groups each tasked to attack prison, the other freed prisoners, attacked Kepatihan, and attacked the Assistant Resident's house. On Monday, July 9, 1888 the war began and in the afternoon, Cilegon could be occupied by Wasyid and his troops.However, under the command of captain A.A. Veen Huyzen, the Dutch perform operations to break the resistance and do chase against Wasyid and his friends. The fighting continued until 30 July 1888, where Wasyid, Hajji Tubagus Ismail, Hajji Usman, and Hajji Abdul Gani were killed on the battlefield as shuhada and heroes of Cilegon war. Appreciation
On September 25, 2013, <mask>'s fighting story in Cilegon's war was lifted into a film titled "Ki Wasyid: Di Balik Jihad sang Pejuang 1888", directed by Darwin Mahesa and produced by Kremov Pictures. To commemorate his struggle, the Banten Provincial Government will then propose Wasyid as the National Hero of Indonesia. References

<mask> (born 1954), known as The Bloody Taxi Driver, is a Russian robber and serial killer who killed six of his passengers in Moscow between 2005 and 2007, in addition to non-fatally robbing three others. He was convicted of the killings and sentenced to life imprisonment, which he is serving at the Polar Owl Colony. Early life
<mask> was born in Ulyanovsk in 1954, but moved to the Kazakh SSR at an early age. In 1990, he returned to Russia, settling in Moscow's Federal Avenue with his wife, who gave birth to two sons. The couple later divorced, with the woman claiming that <mask> never paid for anything, but they still decided to live together as a family. Elistratov was described very positively by his acquaintances, especially by his blind neighbor Alesya, who claimed that he would drive her for free around the city and even buy her family salmon, despite being a man of modest means. Unbeknownst to them, Elistratov had four criminal convictions: two for illegal possession of weaponry, and one each for theft and robbery, but due to negligence of the authorities, he was presented as a first-time offender during his trials for the third and fourth convictions, for which he was given a 4-year suspended sentence in 2004.Crimes
That same year, <mask> bought a rusty, old VAZ-2101, whose previous owner had recently passed away, signing it in the dead man's name. He presented himself as a private taxi driver, despite the fact that his passport, which was issued in the former Soviet Union and was now invalid since the country had dissolved, was never reported to the authorities, and he was allowed to continue his illegal practice undetected. One day, while browsing through the Cherkizovsky Market, he bought himself a homemade hunting rifle, which was modified to function like a sawn-off shotgun, stashing the weapon under the driver's seat. His modus operandi was to pick up potential victims in Moscow's

 Eastern and Northeastern Districts, always at night and near his home. As a rule of thumb, he would only attack victims who he thought had considerable riches, threatening to shoot them if they didn't give them up. If the victim resisted, he shot them with the sawn-off, dropping off the bodies on the side of the road and rummaging through their valuables, stealing only money and discarding the rest in garbage containers. He would use the stolen rubles to finance his family, saving up for a new car and apartment as well.Chronology
 April 14, 2005: <mask> picked up engineer Timofey Topolev-Soldunov on Zeleny Prospekt, with his destination being the Tverskaya Metro Station. He drove him to Zolotnoy Street, where he stopped the taxi and threatened him with the sawn-off shotgun. Topolev-Soldunov left behind 34,000 rubles and was frightened by the encounter, but was left unharmed, with his assailant quietly driving away. October 16, 2005: 54-year-old Armenian national Leyla Ismailovna Ioanesyan, the owner of a small café on Basmannaya, was hitchhiking to get home and was picked up by <mask>. He stopped the car on the Okruzhny Passage and demanded Ioanesyan give up her valuables. When she refused, he shot her and dumped the body under a railway bridge along the Entuziastov Highway, where it would later be found by another taxi driver. Her bag contained 43,000 rubles, the café's weekly earnings, along with dirty cloths and towels, which were thrown out.March 6, 2006: he picked up haidresser Lyudmila Blokhina near the Entuziastov Highway, driving her to Sokolina Gora, where he stopped the taxi and threatened her. The frightened Blokhina left behind all her belongings and jumped out of the vehicle. She later contacted the police, but mistakenly identified her attacker as a Caucasian. <mask>'s bounty from this incident was a measely 700 rubles.

He then dumped the barely-alive Petrosyan near the All-Russian Exhibition Center in Prospekt Mira, driving away with the man's bag, which contained 1,000 rubles and some gym clothes.While Petrosyan managed to crawl to the nearby roadway to alert passers-by, who called an ambulance, the doctors couldn't save him, and he died from his injuries in the hospital. According to the people who found him, he kept repeating something about the rubles, and the Russian taxi driver who had shot him. August 9, 2006: he picked up saleswoman Anna Kuznetsova on Marshall Biryuzov Street, where he attempted to rob her. Kuznetsova actively resisted, causing <mask> to whip out his shotgun and shoot her. Despite her injuries, the woman continued to cling onto her bag, but was pushed out of the car and left to die. Miraculously, she was found by passers-by, who drove her to the hospital, where she managed to survive her near-fatal injuries. Elistratov's loot amounted to only 400 rubles.August 10, 2006: the following day, the body of a young woman, believed to be between 20 and 25 years of age and possibly Armenian, was found on Novolesnaya Street. Despite the authorities' efforts, they couldn't establish her identity, and the victim remains unidentified. October 17, 2006: Elistratov picked up 32-year-old Marina Tretyakova, from Kabardino-Balkaria, on Vlamirskaya Street, with her destination being Skhodnenskaya Metro Station, where her brother was waiting for her. Originally, a friend of hers had offered to call for a taxi, but Marina had decided to save some money by boarding the cheaper private ones. Along the way, she was shot, killed and robbed, with Elistratov dumping her body in a ditch near the Putilkovskoe Highway. October 29, 2006: while driving around the Semyonovskaya Metro Station,

An actress and fashion show participant, she was returning home after being appointed a toastmaster at a wedding.When the taxi reached the Entuziastov Highway, <mask> shot and killed her, robbing her of her rubles and removing the body from the car, before calmly driving away. January 16, 2007: on that night, <mask> picked up his final victim on Chermyanskaya Street: he was Andrey Zhukov, the general director of a local publishing house. While on the way, <mask> demanded that he hand over his cash, and when Zhukov resisted, he was shot in the stomach. Noticing that a police patrol car was just across the road, he jumped out of the taxi and began waving his arms at the officers, shouting that the driver had hit him with a stun gun. Realising that he had been seen, <mask> drove away in an attempt to escape, but was pursued by the officers. He accidentally found himself in a dead end, leaping out of the car and climbing over a fence with barbed wire. However, he got caught up in the wire, and the policemen arrested him on the spot.Meanwhile, Zhukov, who was left behind to wait for an ambulance, had already passed away as a result of his injuries. Trial and imprisonment
The hunt for the so-called "Bloody Taxi Driver" stirred great controversy in the city, as, it would later turn out, the agencies could've captured the criminal much earlier and prevented any further bloodshed. On the body of one victim, a bloody newspaper was found which detailed the then-recent arrest of <mask>. In it, investigators noticed that an apartment number, 39, was stamped by a postman, and they subsequently checked every single apartment in the city which had that number. Astonishingly, they also visited the <mask> family's home, but since <mask> wasn't officially registered as a

During the subsequent investigations, <mask> partially admitted guilt, claiming that he had killed the last victim, Zhukov, by negligence: according to him, Andrey started arguing with him, and had attempted to pull his sawn-off away from him when the weapon accidentally discharged. However, his claims were disregarded, and not long after, several blood samples which were found on his car were connected to the various murder victims.<mask> was ordered an examination at the Serbsky Center, where he was found to be sane and completely aware of his actions, but was determined to have an aggressive personality. During his trial, he kicked a Kommersant journalist who was filming him. His refusal to divulge his motive for the murders led the Russian media to peddle various theories, varying from ethnic hatred (as the majority of his victims were foreigners or looked like ones) to envy against the working class, with some claiming that he prayed for his victims' soul in front of the icons in his home, and even that he had seen some of his future victims in his dreams, appearing before him in the forms of pigeons and doves. However, none of these were confirmed. On March 26, 2008, the Moscow City Court sentenced <mask> to life imprisonment, with the verdict upheld by the Supreme Court of Russia. He is currently imprisoned at the Polar Owl Colony, from where he tried to unsuccessfully escape on June 3, 2011. See also

One of her more steady radio gigs was on the Blondie radio series in the part of Cora Dithers, the domineering wife of Dagwood Bumstead's boss. In the 1950s, Allman became a familiar face to television viewers with numerous guest appearances on many programs of the era, usually situation comedies. She made multiple appearances on I Married Joan, December Bride, The Bob Cummings Show, and The Abbott and Costello Show, and three appearances on I Love Lucy. In 1957, <mask> reprised her role of Cora Dithers in a short-lived TV adaption of Blondie. Allman had earlier played the role in the 1940s on several episodes of the Blondie radio series. She also appeared on seven episodes of the TV series The Jack Benny Program, having worked often with Benny on his radio program in the 1940s and 1950s.Her visibility on television increased during the 1960s with guest shots on The Dick Van Dyke Show, Hazel, The New Phil Silvers Show, The Addams Family, The Munsters, Mr Ed, Bewitched, The Lucy Show, The Doris Day Show, The Andy Griffith Show, and as witness Julia Slovak in the fifth season, 1961 Perry Mason episode, "The Case of the Brazen Bequest".

Breakfast at Tiffany's and The Nutty Professor. Allman appeared as Oscar Madison's mother in one episode of the TV series The Odd Couple in which she and Oscar are treated to an erotic belly dance at a Greek restaurant.
