The actor's attitude to the his roles
<mask> himself had a different attitude to the roles he played and did not always coincide with the audience's sympathy. The actor described the most famous roles in the following Quotations from the interview.<mask> considered the role of Steva Oblonsky in Anna Karenina as underestimated. "The Hussar Ballad" is still going on, and many love it. And Lieutenant Rzhevsky became, as it were, a real person - there are jokes about him, like about Chapaev, and recently in Rzhev they even decided to erect a monument to him." The artist spoke in more detail about the inimitable Tsar Ivan Vasilievich and his double, the house manager: “At first it was quite difficult. It was impossible to play the Tsar seriously, because it was a comedy. And yet in these unusual circumstances he had to remain Ivan the Terrible. And Bunsh had to be portrayed.It had to be a very everyday idiot with two convolutions. And I found an approach to him. Firstly, he speaks quickly. Such people have one thought running ahead, and they try to express it sooner before it leaves. what if he also lisps? This is ridiculous. I tried it.It worked. " The actor called his role in "Kin-dza-dza" completely unusual: "Besides, the script was being rewritten all the time. We came from the shooting, Danelia and Gabriadze locked ourselves in the room and rewrote the text overnight. And sometimes it turned out to be completely opposite to what we are. have already learned ... We most often communicated with colleagues using the word "Ku". Briefly and succinctly. " But about the first big role in the cinema - Prince Myshkin, <mask> spoke very rarely and laconically: "This is different."(TV Mini-Series) as Ippolit Georgievich

title: Tony Krantz

type: original

texts:
<mask> (born June 16, 1959) is an American film and television producer, writer, and director. Krantz started his career in the American entertainment industry as an agent, spending 15 years at Creative Artists Agency (CAA). He started there as a mailroom trainee and rose to eventually run the primetime television department, where he personally packaged the television series ER, Twin Peaks, Beverly Hills, 90210, Melrose Place and The West Wing, among many others. He also put together the movies The Doors and Wild at Heart. Under his leadership at CAA, there were 32 shows on the primetime lineup that the agency represented when Krantz left to start the next part of his career. Krantz transitioned into producing television, and was one of three founders of Imagine Television, serving as its Co-Chairman and CEO. There he produced Felicity, Sports Night, The PJs, 24 and the movie Mulholland Drive.<mask> left Imagine in 2002 to pursue his path as a film and television director and writer. He has since directed three films, Sublime, Otis, and The Big Bang, and is currently the principal and owner of the independent production company Flame Ventures. Early life
Krantz was born on June 16, 1959, in New York City to #1 bestselling novelist <mask> and film and television producer Stephen Falk <mask>. Krantz graduated from Beverly Hills High School in 1977 where he was senior class president. He then went on to college at the University of California, Berkeley where Krantz worked as a concert promoter for the student body, producing the Berkeley Jazz Festival in 1980 among numerous punk rock and rock concerts which would later influence his work. Krantz graduated from Berkeley in June 1981 with a degree in business administration. Career

Two weeks after graduation, Krantz started his professional career in the mailroom at CAA.After being promoted to assistant, Krantz wrote a 100-page paper about CAA and the music business based on ideas he developed around his work as a concert promoter at Berkeley. In the paper, he detailed a plan for CAA to enter the music business without becoming a straight booking agency. He turned the paper in to Michael Ovitz and was made an agent in the TV Literary Department shortly thereafter, just 16 months after joining the agency. As Krantz rose from a TV literary agent to a television packaging agent at CAA, one of his early movie of the week packages won the Emmy for best television movie. It was Inherit the Wind and it starred Kirk Douglas and Jason Robards and was directed by David Green. Afterwards, Krantz expanded into series, largely working with the agency's motion picture clients who at the time viewed the television business with skepticism. In 1990, Twin Peaks creator Mark Frost said he credited the development of the series to Krantz's "determination to get Frost and co-creator David Lynch to write a television script."Krantz later described packaging Twin Peaks as his personal "artistic high point" as an agent. Krantz also packaged "ER." During an internal development meeting at CAA in 1993, Krantz remembered a film script that Michael Crichton had written years earlier based on his experience at Harvard medical school. Krantz re-read the script and then convinced a reticent Crichton and the script's owner Amblin Television and Warner Bros. to turn that 13-year-old work into what would eventually become the ultra successful NBC drama, "ER." Krantz found a showrunner for Crichton, John Wells (whom Krantz also represented), and the pilot was taken word for word from Crichton's film script. The series ran for 15 seasons and is widely considered one of the most successful dramas in television history. Other top series Krantz put together include "Beverly Hills, 90210," "Melrose Place" and "The West Wing".Krantz built a reputation as an expert in his field and in 1996, he taught a course at UCLA Extension's department of entertainment studies and performing arts titled "Creating a Career in the Entertainment Industry." The course included discussions of conceptualization, business savvy, selling strategy and global distribution. He also taught extensively at the U.C. Berkeley's Haas School of Business and for three years to graduate students at U.S.C. 's Peter Stark Producing Program. In 1998, Krantz left his career at CAA to produce television, and partnered with Brian Grazer and Ron Howard to found Imagine Television. Krantz served as CEO and Co-Chairman and was its principal partner.He executive produced many television shows, including Felicity with J. J. Abrams and Matt Reeves, Sports Night with Aaron Sorkin, Wonderland with Peter Berg, The PJs with Eddie Murphy, Mulholland Drive. with David Lynch, and 24 with Kiefer Sutherland. After six years at Imagine, Krantz chose to leave and pursue his producing and directing dream at his own company, Flame Ventures. In 2002, he was replaced at Imagine by former Fox executive Vice President of Programming, David Nevins, who now runs Showtime. <mask>'s opportunity to direct came with the development of the Raw Feed project, a series of direct-to-DVD movies that represented a first of this format for Warner Bros. Studios under their Warner Home Video division. <mask> told Elyse Eisenberg at Warner Home Video that his dream since the third grade was to direct. Eisenberg told him "Warner Bros would approve you as a director in a heartbeat."So Krantz became part of a trio of directors (alongside Daniel Myrick, director of The Blair Witch Project and John Shiban, writer and executive producer for Supernatural and The X-Files) who were tapped to create "Raw Feed," a series of films in the sci fi, horror, and thriller genres. In March 2007, the second film in the 6-part film series, a surreal psychological sci-fi thriller called Sublime, that marked Krantz's first directorial effort, was released. The film was directed by Krantz and written by Erik Jendresen. Krantz described it as "a thinking man's horror film" with a huge twist at the end. In 2008, the fourth film of the Raw Feed series, a black comedy/horror film entitled Otis was released. The film was co-penned by Jendresen and directed by Krantz during an 18-day shoot. The film stars Daniel Stern, Illeana Douglas and Kevin Pollak.In a 2008 interview at SXSW where it opened the festival in its midnight slot, Krantz described Otis as a purposeful satire on the over-abundance of torture and gore porn movies, but also a "meditation on the Iraq war." The independent thriller The Big Bang was <mask>'s most involved directing project to date. In a 2011 interview, Krantz stated that directing The Big Bang was "the most fun [he's] ever had professionally." He was involved in the project from its creative conception and developed the concept alongside frequent collaborator Erik Jendresen. The script was completed within four months. <mask> and Jendresen were influenced by the Coen brothers and David Lynch with the concept of putting a mystery story about particle physics into the middle of a neo-noir detective thriller about the search for a missing girl. Agent Ed Limato of the William Morris Agency read the script, fell in love with it and gave it to Antonio Banderas, who quickly agreed to star in the film.Banderas was knowledgeable about astrophysics and particle physics, and immediately appreciated the hidden meanings in the script. Once he agreed to do the movie, the film was financed despite a difficult financial environment for independent film financing at the time. Actors were attracted to the unique film despite its lower budget. Along with Banderas, the cast included Thomas Kretschmann, William Fichtner, Delroy Lindo, Autumn Reeser, Sienna Guillory, James Van Der Beek, Sam Elliott, Jimmi Simpson and Snoop Dogg. Much of the look of the movie was a result of Shelly Johnson's work in collaboration with Krantz as director. The film's visual style was also inspired by the surreal photography of Gregory Crewdson. J. Todd Anderson, a storyboard artist who works primarily with the Coen Brothers, agreed to work with Krantz to storyboard The Big Bang.Johnny Marr, acclaimed lead guitarist for The Smiths, wrote the score, the first time Marr had ever done a score for film. The film was shot over 30 days. In late 2011, Krantz left his representation at WME and went back to CAA, this time as a client. Among the projects produced was Scruples, an adaptation of a 1978 novel written by Krantz's mother, <mask> which was executive produced by Krantz with Natalie Portman. In 2013, Krantz's series Dracula aired on NBC, starring Jonathan Rhys-Meyers in the titular role and was produced by Krantz alongside Carnival Films, the production company behind the acclaimed Downtown Abby. Krantz is also credited as an executive producer for Blood & Oil with Don Johnson and Wu Assassins for Netflix. John-Eric Caps is the current Executive Vice President of Production and Development at Flame Ventures.Projects in Development

Among many television projects in development across broadcast, cable and streaming, Krantz is writing a movie on the famous Watergate burglars called the Plumbers, producing a remake of Cooley High (a film his father produced) and a multi-part scripted virtual reality science fiction series titled Six, about a doomed mission to Jupiter's moon Europa, 75 years in the future. Krantz is also busy at work on Phantom, a noir thriller series he's created set in 1919 Paris, adapted from the classic book, Phantom of the Opera. Phantom is being done for DirectTV. Krantz is writing all episodes and directing most of that series. Creative Influences

Krantz describes his work as a concert promoter at Berkeley as the major early influence on his career, because it was all about "idealism, spirituality and artistic integrity." He says one particular concert with Talking Heads, that he produced with his partners at Berkeley, was one of the most transformative experiences in live music he ever had, along with his Berkeley Jazz Festival. Apocalypse Now is Krantz's favorite film.And at CAA he had the opportunity to represent Francis Coppola, packaging television projects for the director, including a television movie called White Dwarf, written by Bruce Wagner which aired on Fox. When interviewed about his highly unusual transition from agent to executive producer to director and writer, Krantz shared that he has wanted to direct since he was in third grade at Rudolf Steiner School in New York City, but he knew that it would be difficult to enter that realm. As a child, he wrote letters to Woody Allen, Francis Coppola and Miloš Forman, asking them what it was like to be a director. He says the directing heroes of his life are Mike Nichols, Coppola, the Coen Brothers, David Fincher, Paul Thomas Anderson, and David Lynch because of their artistry. He acknowledges that he joined CAA at the start of his career mostly because he was looking for a job with structure and a path to earn a living after college. As an agent, the transition to producer was more seamless, and then he finally came around to being the director he always wanted to be. He defies a widely held conception in Hollywood that agents and even producers are not creatively inclined as directors and writers.Personal life

Krantz is married to Kristin <mask>, the co-founder and CEO of both Prana Animation Studios. and Oscar and Emmy winning visual effects company, Rhythm & Hues. They met at CAA and live together in Beverly Hills, California, and in Soho, New York City. Krantz has a brother, <mask>. His mother, Judith, was the sister of Jeremy P. Tarcher. Tarcher was the husband of entertainer Shari Lewis, and the father of entertainer Mallory Lewis. When Krantz was worried about leaving his established, comfortable career at CAA to produce television, it was his wife who encouraged him to pick up the phone and call Brian Grazer to inquire about a partnership, after the couple saw the movie "Ransom" in San Francisco which Grazer produced and Ron Howard directed.This call eventually led to the founding of Imagine Television. Political life

As an active member of the Writers Guild and the Directors Guild, Krantz is also active in Democratic politics on a local and national level. In May 2014, Krantz hosted a Foreign Policy Roundtable (on which he serves as a board member) at his home in Beverly Hills where attendees listened in on a conversation between Ari Shavit, noted Israeli journalist and author of My Promised Land, and Jessica Yellin, former CNN White House correspondent. The next year, Henry Kissinger spoke at the Krantz home as a guest of FPR. Awards
<mask>'s shows have won numerous Emmys and Golden Globes and have been nominated for Oscars. In 2002, Krantz received the Producer's Guild Award for best dramatic series for his work on 24 as its executive producer. Filmography

title: Thomas Braidwood Wilson

texts:
<mask> FRGS (bapt. 29 April 1792 – 11 November 1843) was an Australian surgeon and explorer. He was baptised in Kirknewton, West Lothian, Scotland, the son of James, and Catherine Boak. Sea voyages
<mask> studied at Edinburgh University and became a Doctor of Medicine. He joined the Royal Navy in 1815 and made nine voyages to Australia as a surgeon-superintendent on convict ships. The times were very dangerous and many of the sea voyages were eventful. In 1829 he travelled on the return journey of the  to Australia when it was shipwrecked in the Torres Strait.<mask> and some of the crew rowed  to Timor. Aboard the ship, , <mask> returned in 1831 to Hobart Town with a hive of bees, that had survived the trip to Australia, and many European plants. The bees were considered to be the first European bees brought to Tasmania. <mask> was presented with an engraved snuffbox with the inscription praising him for, "introducing to (the colony) some of the most valuable plants and animals, but especially the honeybee, which are now in a manner become indigenous to it." Exploration
<mask> sailed in the ship,  to the Swan River in Western Australia with Captain Collet Barker. From there he explored the region inland from King George Sound. Captain Barker was the Commandant at King George Sound and provided the provisions for the expedition.<mask> named the hill overlooking the future township of Mount Barker in his honour. During these expeditions <mask> collected seeds and species to bring back to his friend, Allan Cunningham at the Sydney Botanical Gardens. A species of grevillea from Western Australia, Grevillea wilsonii, was named after him. <mask>'s inlet in Western Australia is also named after him. King George Sound is now home to the thriving town of Albany. In 1833 <mask> was granted a fellowship of the Royal Geographical Society. Journal and travel writing
<mask> wrote of his travel experiences and published them in 1835.The title page of the book describes the contents as:

...an account of, the wreck of the ship "Governor Ready" in Torres Straits; a Description of the British Settlements on the Coasts of New Holland, more particularly Raffles Bay, Melville Island, Swan River and King George's Sound; also, the Manners and Customs of the Aboriginal Tribes:
with an Appendix, containing Remarks on Transportation, The Treatment of Convicts During the Voyage, and Advice to Persons Intending to Emigrate to the Australian Colonies. – by T. B<mask>, M.D. Surgeon, R.N. Member of the Royal Geographical Society

In the preface <mask> states that his aim was to inform those interested in "Australian affairs" and provide amusement to the general public. He states further that the information in the appendix was based on his supervision of, "nearly two thousand prisoners, without having met with any difficulty, or disturbance, worth mentioning.'' Pastoral life
<mask> married Jane Thomson of Durham, England, in 1826 at St Oswalds in Durham. In 1836 he emigrated with his wife, daughter Mary Braidwood <mask> (b.1827), and son <mask> <mask> (b. 1833), to Australia. <mask>'s first land grants were in the Oatlands area of Tasmania, however he exchanged these for grants in the Braidwood district before settling there in 1835. <mask>'s grants in Braidwood amounted to  in recognition of his exploration, to which he added another  of purchased and leased land. The family property was known as "Braidwood Farm" (since changed to "Mona"). When the township was formed it took the name of Braidwood in his honour because <mask> relinquished an area from the western end of his property to be used as the site for the new town. He became a pastoralist and was noted for the good management of his land.He also served as a magistrate, and funded the building on the courthouse in Braidwood. He was on many local committees and took an active interest in district affairs. At <mask>'s death his daughter, <mask> <mask>, was 16. She kept a diary that covered her life after her father's death, and during her marriage to Stewart Marjoribanks Mowle. The diary is now in the National Library of Australia and is seen as a clear and detailed record of early expatriate life in Australia. Death and grave site

<mask>'s third child, <mask>, died at the age of five months on 23 September 1837 and <mask> built a vault at the top of a hill just north of the town for his burial. His wife died not long after on 29 January 1838 and was also buried in the vault.The location () boasts a beautiful view over the town of Braidwood and a large pine tree has been grown adjacent to the vault. During the drought and depression of the early 1840s <mask> was declared bankrupt and on 11 November 1843 it is thought that he probably committed suicide. He was buried with his wife and child in the vault. The grave site fell into disrepair but was repaired and a path from the town added some time after April 2006. The route to the site is unclear (mapped here) and the absence of a track indicates it is rarely visited. The public way was in general use during the late 19th century and until the early 2000s. Community projects were arranged to restore the grave site in 1894 and in 1935, and the stiles were built with a Community Bicentennial Grant in 1988.On change of ownership of the property on which the grave sits, access was closed off by the owner in about 2005 and it is now rarely used as the stiles have been deliberately broken or locked off. Strong community pride in the site has seen several attempts at rectifying this, and  The route commences with the first stile () at the corner of the Kings Highway and Wallace Street at the North end of town and is a  walk. You must proceed from stile to stile as barbed wire fences block alternative routes. From the second wooden stile (in poor repair) () head to the north east of the paddock to the third metal stile () and from there east to the fourth stile(). If the stile is locked proceed north along the fence to the gate. From here the route is obvious. References

title: Sarah Jane Baines

texts:
<mask> (30 November 1866 – 20 February 1951) was a British-Australian feminist, suffragette and social reformer. She was the first suffragette to be tried by jury, and one of the first hunger strikers. She was known as '<mask>' in the suffragist movement. Early life
<mask> was born in Birmingham, England, in 1866 to <mask>née Hunt) and James Edward Hunt, a gun maker. She began work at Joseph Chamberlain's ordnance factory aged eleven. At age fourteen, <mask> joined her parents in working with the Salvation Army. Upon attaining the rank of lieutenant, now aged twenty, she was sent to work as an evangelist in an independent working men's mission in Bolton.In this role, she was also called upon to act as a police court missionary caring for women who had been arrested. On 26 September 1888 in Bolton she married <mask>, a boot and shoemaker, and the couple had five children between 1888 and 1899 three of whom survived childhood. Between motherhood and working as a sewing machinist, there was little time for public activities. Yet Baines' commitment never wavered, her youngest surviving child was six years old when she was imprisoned for the third time. Annie Kenney called her 'one of the most kind-hearted woman one could meet, a born revolutionary'. Baines also joined the Independent Labour Party, the feeding of school children committee and the unemployed committee. Campaigning for women's suffrage
In October 1905, Baines read about the arrest of suffragists Annie Kenney and Christabel Pankhurst for assault and this motivated her to join the Women's Social and Political Union.Initially this was as a voluntary basis but in February 1908, <mask> was made a paid organiser on a wage of £2 a week, organising open-air rallies, disrupting meetings and establishing new branches of the WSPU in the North of England and the Midlands. Later this same year, in November 1908, Baines was to be tried of unlawful assembly at the Coliseum in Leeds, the first ever member of the WSPU to be tried by jury. Refusing to be bound over, she was convicted to six weeks imprisonment in Armley Goal, Leeds because "she did ‘not recognise the laws of this Court administered by men". One of the first to advocate militant methods, <mask> was imprisoned some fifteen times for her part in protests. In July 1909 with twelve others, including Mary Leigh, Lucy Burns, Alice Paul, Emily Davison and Mabel Capper and another in her wheelchair [May Billinghurst perhaps] she was jailed for obstruction for trying to stop Lloyd George's public budget meeting in Limehouse. The protest was witnessed by Annie Barnes who was inspired to join the East London Federation and influenced by Sylvia Pankhurst. On the way to Holloway prison the women arrested had shouted and sung protests and demanded to be treated in 'first division' in their own clothes as 'political' prisoners rather than criminals, this was not granted and the women broke 150 panes of glass at the prison and refused to give their names, prison officers had to use 'force necessary' to get the women into prison clothes.In Liverpool, in 1910, Baines was making speeches with Ada Flatman and Patricia Woodlock, when she was interrupted by Constance Lytton disguised as '<mask>' a seamstress asking 'the men and women of Liverpool to be the first to wipe out the stain [of force-feeding]' and a crowd followed them to the prison Governor John Dillon's house, chased by police. In July 1912, Baines was part of an attempt, under the name 'Lizzie Baker' along with Gladys Evans and Mary Leigh and Mabel Capper, to burn down the Theatre Royal in Dublin the night before a scheduled visit from then Prime Minister, H.H. Asquith, to speak on Home Rule. For this Baines was sentenced to seven months hard labour  and Central Bridewell prison, Dublin. Joining her fellow suffragette prisoners on hunger strike, she was released after five days. The next year, on 8 July 1913, with her husband George and son Wilfred, Baines was accused of attempting to bomb first-class railway carriages at a Lancashire and Yorkshire railway siding, and leaving suffragist material, near where they lived in Manchester. A bomb, loaded revolver, masks and cutting tools and two catapults were found at their premises.As a result, her husband and son were charged with malicious damage and not imprisoned, but Baines was re-arrested under the 'Cat and Mouse act' and imprisoned at Holloway Prison. She again went on hunger strike, refusing food and water, and was released in a 'very serious condition'. Baines suffered from chorea ( St Vitus’ Dance ) causing spasms brought on by emotional stress, making it almost impossible to force-feed her. Baines had been given a Hunger Strike Medal 'for Valour'. In May 1913 another arrest for obstruction during a meeting in Hyde Park, and a month sentence led WSPU leaders to determine that her health could not endure another stint in prison,  so <mask> and her family were smuggled into Wales as the 'Evans' family and set sail aboard The Ballarat, bound for Australia, before their trial (as a family) was due in November 1913. The trial went ahead and acquitted George and Wilfred <mask>. WSPU saw this migration as a reward for all Baines had done, as Australia had achieved the female federal vote in 1902.Later life in Australia
After being smuggled out of England, Baines arrived in Melbourne, Australia in December 1913. She was forty-seven years old. Adele Pankhurst would later arrive in 1914. Upon settling in the Melbourne suburb of Fitzroy, the Baines family joined the Victorian Socialist Party and the Labour Party while <mask> busied herself working with the Women's Political Association as early as January 1914 and co-founded the Women's Peace Army. With Adele Pankhurst, Baines campaigned against World War I conscription in 1916-1917 and against the spiralling cost of living,  as profiteering. Both were sentenced to nine months imprisonment but both were freed on appeal on a legal technicality. Baines was again jailed in March 1919 for flying the prohibited red flag on the Yarra Bank and became the first prisoner in Australia to undergo hunger strike.A special Federal Cabinet meeting was held and her release after four days starving  was secured on the advice of the Attorney-General. In 1920, <mask> helped establish the Communist Party in Victoria. Five years later, she would be expelled and this saw her rejoin the Labour Party. In 1926, the family relocated to Port Melbourne and Baines was appointed special magistrate to the Children's Court there from 1928 to 1948. Death and legacy
Although her post Second World War activities were curtailed by her failing sight, <mask> <mask> continued her "fiery eloquence on the hustings" until her death from cancer, only giving up public speaking a few months before she died on 20 February 1951 in Port Melbourne. Survived by her husband and her three children, Baines's legacy could perhaps be summed up in her own words:

'To fight for that which is better and nobler in this world is to live in the highest sense, but to submit and tolerate the evils which exist is to merely vegetate in the sewers of iniquity'. Jennie <mask> quoted in The Socialist, 11 April 1919.See also

He moved to England to sign for First Division club Preston North End in December 2002 after impressing on trial, and progressed to sign a professional contract in 2003. He joined Leyton Orient of the Third Division on 29 August 2003 on a one-month loan and made the first professional appearance of his career in a 4–1 home defeat to Cheltenham Town the following day, when he replaced Billy Jones at half-time.<mask> received the first red card of his career in a 0–0 draw with Lincoln City on 13 September, after committing two bookable offences. In late September, caretaker manager Martin Ling extended <mask>'s loan until 1 November. He was sent off again in a 1–1 draw with Northampton Town on 25 October. He made 11 appearances, accumulating six yellow and two red cards, before his loan expired. <mask> made his Preston debut on 6 March 2004 in a league match against Burnley, when he replaced Dickson Etuhu after 55 minutes. He made four further appearances before the end of the 2003–04 season. After making four substitute appearances at the beginning of the 2004–05 season, <mask> was made available for transfer in September 2004.He joined League Two club Southend United on loan on 16 March 2005 and made his debut three days later, starting in a 3–0 victory over Cheltenham Town. In April, the loan was extended until the end of the 2004–05 season. He was an 81st-minute substitute for Mark Gower during the 2005 Football League Trophy Final against Wrexham at the Millennium Stadium, but was denied the first silverware of his career when Wrexham won the match 2–0 after extra time. <mask> scored the first senior goals of his career with a brace in a 2–1 away victory over Macclesfield Town on 19 April. He made eight appearances and scored two goals during his loan spell. He spent the entire 2005–06 season on loan at Motherwell of the Scottish Premier League, making 28 appearances in all competitions, scoring two goals, accumulating 12 yellow cards and one red. <mask> made his first Preston appearance in nearly two years when he replaced Kelvin Wilson after 41 minutes of a 1–1 Championship home draw with Queens Park Rangers on 19 August 2006.He played two further matches in September, with the latter match against Stoke City on 30 September being his final Preston appearance. He made a total of 12 appearances for the club. Looking back in August 2012 on his time with Preston, McCormack said "I had a great few years there and I learnt a hell of a lot – enough to help me go on and continue my career in the professional game in England. I've got a lot of time and a lot of credit for that, I look back and I never have a bad word to say about it. I've got nothing but good things to say about the club, I'll always have fond memories of the place". Return to Southend United on loan and permanent transfer
In November 2006 and with his contract set to expire at the end of the 2006–07 season, McCormack handed in a transfer request, before rejoining Championship club Southend United on loan on 18 November 2006, initially until 1 January 2007, with a view to a permanent move. After an impressive first month of his spell, assistant manager Paul Brush confirmed on 11 December that McCormack would transfer to the club permanently and he subsequently signed on a two-and-a-half-year contract.In what remained of the 2006–07 season, McCormack made 26 appearances and scored three goals, but he was unable to prevent Southend's relegation to League One. <mask> formed a central midfield partnership with Nicky Bailey during the 2007–08 season and the pair scored 20 goals between them, with <mask> scoring nine, which included a run of five goals in seven appearances in September 2007. The season ended with a play-off semi-final defeat to Doncaster Rovers, and in June 2008, he signed a new three-year contract. <mask> suffered a knee injury during the 2008–09 pre-season, which kept him out of action for eight weeks. After returning to fitness, he made 38 appearances during the season, scoring two goals. <mask> played the full 90 minutes in a 1–1 draw with Chelsea at Stamford Bridge in the FA Cup third round on 3 January 2009, but missed the replay, which Southend lost 4–1. <mask> made 43 appearances and scored three goals during the 2009–10 season, but what would be his final season at Roots Hall culminated in the club's relegation to League Two.His contract was terminated by mutual consent on 24 June 2010. Over the course of his two spells with Southend, McCormack made 166 appearances and scored 19 goals. Charlton Athletic
McCormack remained in League One and signed a two-year contract with Charlton Athletic on 6 July 2010. He made 31 appearances and scored one goal during the 2010–11 season as Charlton finished in mid-table. <mask>'s contract was terminated by mutual consent in July 2011. Looking back in August 2014 on his time with the Addicks, McCormack said "it wasn't a great year and I didn't play particularly well. It was a bit hostile.There was a lot of stuff on the internet sent to me, so it wasn't a pretty time and I don't look back at it with fond memories". Swindon Town
After a spell training with Swindon Town, McCormack signed a two-year contract with the League Two club on 21 July 2011. He was moved from his natural midfield position to the defence and formed a centre-back partnership with Aden Flint. He enjoyed a successful first season with the club, making 51 appearances, scoring two goals, winning the League Two championship and the Swindon Town Player of the Year award. He was a losing finalist in the Football League Trophy for the second time in his career, after Swindon were beaten 2–0 by Chesterfield in the 2012 final. Under the management of Paolo Di Canio, McCormack had a good 2012–13 season back in League One, being named captain, making 47 appearances and helping Swindon to a sixth-place finish which saw the club qualify for the play-offs, where they were defeated on penalties by Brentford in the semi-finals. He was released by the club after the season, after failing to agree a new contract.McCormack made 98 appearances and scored two goals during his two seasons with the Robins. After leaving the club, he stated his reason for departing as being because "the first offer I got from Swindon disappointed me, I just felt that I was worth more to the club than a one-year offer. When they sent me the offer I was really gutted and disappointed and that really let me know in my head that maybe it was time to move on to another club". Brentford

2013–2015
On 24 June 2013, <mask> signed a two-year contract with Brentford, who had remained in League One after suffering defeat in the 2013 League One play-off Final.

A near ever-present under Uwe Rösler and his successor Mark Warburton, <mask> celebrated promotion to the Championship after a 1–0 victory over former club Preston North End on 18 April 2014.He finished the 2013–14 season with 45 appearances and two goals. <mask> won the Brentford Supporters' Player of the Year award and was named as the right-back in the League One Team of the Year. After starting in each of the Bees' first seven league matches of the 2014–15 season, <mask> signed a new two-year contract, with the option of a third year. His status as an ever-present in league matches came to an end after he suffered an ankle ligament injury during a 3–1 defeat to Bolton Wanderers on 25 October 2014. He returned to light training in January 2015, but had lost the right-back position to Moses Odubajo and made just four further appearances before the end of the 2014–15 season. <mask> made 18 appearances and scored one goal during the season. 2015–2017

After six further starts, the option to extend his contract for a further year was triggered. He finished the 2015–16 season with 29 appearances. <mask> made his first appearance of the 2016–17 season in a 1–0 defeat to League Two team Exeter City in the EFL Cup first round on 9 August 2016, in which he was substituted in the 12th minute after suffering a foot injury. He returned to the team seven weeks later, but made just three appearances before being handed a five-match suspension and a £6,000 fine on 20 October, for charges relating to the use of "abusive and/or insulting words towards a match official" during a match against Cardiff City on 19 April 2016. After his return from suspension, he made just eight substitute appearances, making his final appearance as a substitute for Konstantin Kerschbaumer in the final match of the season, a 3–1 defeat to Blackburn Rovers.<mask>ack signed for League Two club Luton Town on 1 June 2017 on a contract of undisclosed length, effective from 1 July.

He was a regular in the team during the first six weeks of the season, starting in every league match until suffering a groin injury in a 2–1 away victory over Wycombe Wanderers. He suffered an injury setback after sustaining a calf injury, having been scheduled to make his return in December. <mask> made his first appearance in six months in a 1–1 draw away to Newport County, coming on as an 88th-minute substitute for Luke Gambin. He made a further seven starting appearances and finished the season with 16 appearances and one goal, at the end of which Luton were promoted to League One as League Two runners-up.<mask> signed a new one-year contract in May 2018. He started in each of Luton's opening three league matches of the 2018–19 season, before losing his place in the team to Glen Rea.

He was released at the end of the season. Third spell with Southend United
McCormack returned to Southend United, who were newly relegated to League Two, on 17 September 2020 on a contract until January 2021. He signed a contract extension until the end of the 2020–21 season on 19 January 2021. After being released by Southend at the end of the 2020–21 season, <mask>ack was appointed assistant to manager Steve Tilson at Isthmian League North Division club Heybridge Swifts on 24 September 2021, reuniting the pair after Tilson signed McCormack as a player at Southend United.

<mask>'s first exposure to international football came at schoolboy level. Injury to Darren Potter saw McCormack called up to the Republic of Ireland under-19 team for three 2003 European U19 Championship second qualifying round matches in May 2003. He failed to make the squad for the first two matches against England and Switzerland, but started the third match against Slovenia, which resulted in a 2–0 win. Style of play
The Coventry Telegraph described <mask> as "a no-nonsense tough-tackling midfielder who is prepared to put his body in places others wouldn't. He has a similar style of play to fellow countryman Roy Keane and while he has not quite reached the same level as the former Manchester United skipper, he has adopted the same dogged and determined style of football". Coaching career
<mask> began taking his coaching badges in late September 2014 and hinted that he is interested in entering coaching and management after his playing career is over. Following his retirement from playing, <mask> returned to Luton Town as an academy coach in October 2021.Career statistics

He was an important Galicianist historian, ethnographer, anthropologist, and geographer. In 1923 he and some of his fellows founded the Sociedade da Lingua, whose main goals were the defense of the Galician language and the creation of a dictionary. He was a member of Irmandades da Fala and Seminario de Estudos Galegos and was high school professor after the Spanish Civil War broke out. He was part of the Father Sarmiento Institute for Galician Studies and the Royal Galician Academy, and was director and president of the Museum of the Galician People, member of the Council of Galician Culture, and a chronicler of Galicia. He spent his life studying Galician culture and its territory from different perspectives, with a special focus and mastery on anthropology. Career
He was born in  (Santiago de Loureiro, Cotobade), on 28 December 1905.His father was <mask> Rodrigues, a single stonemason who emigrated to Niterói—capital of the state of Rio de Janeiro at the time, shortly before Fraguas was born. His mother was <mask> Vázquez, also the daughter of a stonemason, was born in Listanco (Armeses, Maside) in 1873. He went to public school in Costa. His father came back from America in 1912, then married his mother and recognized his son on the 7th of August of that year. In 1918, his parents decided to emigrate together to Brazil, where Antonio was meant to become a train driver, learning from his father's cousin. But the idea was reconsidered because of a teacher in Famelga (Augasantas), who saw his potencial to become a teacher. From 1919 to 1924 he studied Secondary Education in Pontevedra High School, where some of his teachers were Daniel Fraga Aguiar, Alfredo de la Iglesia, Ramón Sobrino Buhigas, Alfonso Daniel Rodríguez Castelao and especially <mask> Losada Diéguez, who influenced him and turned him toward Galicianism.Then, in 1923, at the age of 18, he established the “Sociedade da Lingua” (Language Society) in Pontevedra along with Sebastián González García-Paz and other fellow students. Its goal was to defend the Galician language and publish a dictionary, which they did not accomplish. In 1924, he began studying Philosophy and Literature in USC

His first public appearance was to present Joaquín Núñez de Couto, and speak out against tyrants. The first year he went to a preparatory school, where there were three professors: Ciriaco Pérez Bustamante (History), Armando Cotarelo Valledor (Literature) and Ramón Gallego García (Philosophy). He lived in Santiago de Compostela in number 24 Horreo Street (Rúa do Hórreo). Encouraged by Ramón Martínez López, he joined the Irmandade da Fala, which was presided over by Vicente Risco. He started to collaborate with the Seminario de Estudios Galegos, where he was admitted as a member in 1928, in the Geography department (directed by Ramón Otero Pedrayo), Ethnography department (directed by Risco) and Prehistory department (directed by Florentino López Cuevillas).At the seminary, the grant from the Junta para Amplificación de Estudios allowed him to participate in the cataloging of castros in the area around Lalin and he started studying Galicia's historic geography. He also focused on the Rías Baixas and the Cotobade area. As an ethnographer, he started studying Galician Carnival traditions. He also was a librarian in the institution. He was dedicated to compiling Galician bibliographies and he participated in the foundation of the Museo Etnográfico do Seminario at the Colexio de Fonseca. He graduated in 1928.

He participated in the campaigns for the  and after the July 1936 military uprising in Melilla. He suffered repression due to his Galicianist leanings, and was fired. After his arrest, he was forced to delete the graffiti in favor of the statute. He had to work in private education and, with the priest Ramon Davila Garcia, created the Academia Menendez y Pelayo in the  starting in 1950.He was able to retake high school classes and also was awarded a doctorate at the Complutense University of Madrid.

title: Frances Gifford

texts:
<mask> (December 7, 1920 – January 22, 1994) was an American actress who played leads and supporting roles in many 1930s and 1940s movies. Early years
<mask> was born and raised in Long Beach, California, and at the age of 16, applied to UCLA School of Law with no intention of pursuing an acting career. With a friend, she visited the studios of Samuel Goldwyn to watch a film being made, and while there, was spotted by a talent scout, who brought her to the attention of Goldwyn, who signed her to an acting contract. Career

After only receiving minor roles, <mask> moved to RKO, where she was cast in several uncredited supporting roles in films of the late 1930s, including Stage Door (1937) starring Katharine Hepburn and Ginger Rogers. <mask> married actor James Dunn on Christmas Day 1937. In 1939, she landed her first leading role in the low-budget Mercy Plane, opposite her husband. A planned retirement was interrupted briefly when she played another uncredited role in James Stewart's break-out film Mr. Smith Goes to Washington (1939).<mask> played several more minor roles before she was, in 1941, lent to Republic Pictures and cast in the role which would arguably produce her most enduring fame: as the semiclad Nyoka in Jungle Girl, a 15-chapter movie serial, based very loosely on the novel by Edgar Rice Burroughs. The role was the first time since Pearl White in the silent era that an actress had played the lead in the movie serial genre. The following year, Republic made a sequel Perils of Nyoka, but <mask> was no longer available and the heroine's part was played by Kay Aldridge. In the Walt Disney feature The Reluctant Dragon (1941), <mask> had a leading role as Doris, a studio artist. With <mask>'s film career gaining momentum and Dunn's on the decline, partly due to his struggles with alcoholism, the marriage had failed by 1942. She left RKO for Paramount Pictures, where she acted in several films, including The Glass Key (1942). In 1943, she made another jungle movie, costarring with Johnny Weissmuller in Tarzan Triumphs at RKO.That year, she also left Paramount and moved to the prestigious Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer studio with the sponsorship of an MGM executive. At MGM, she had more success, playing leading roles in such films as Our Vines Have Tender Grapes (1945) opposite Edward G. Robinson and She Went to the Races (1945), receiving billing over Ava Gardner, followed by the more notable  The Arnelo Affair (1947). <mask> also played in supporting roles, including Thrill of a Romance (1945) with Esther Williams, and Luxury Liner (1948) with Jane Powell. Later years
On December 31, 1947, <mask> was almost killed in a car accident. She "sustained a fractured and cut nose." A film executive who was with her in the car had a compound fracture of a leg. The event sidelined her career and caused a decline in her health.She received severe head injuries, resulting in a drastic change in her personality. She began to lose confidence in her abilities and found it difficult to come back to films. Losing her contract with MGM, she attempted a comeback in two early 1950s films, Riding High (1950) and Sky Commando (1953). During the 1950s, her mental and physical health declined to the point where she was placed into Camarillo State Mental Hospital in 1958. She spent almost the entire next 25 years in and out of various institutions. In 1983, Richard S. Fisher, a journalist for a film magazine, tracked down <mask>, who had lately been volunteering at the Pasadena, California, City Library, having apparently recovered. She spent her final years in quiet obscurity and died of emphysema in a convalescent center in Pasadena at the age of 73.Her cremains are interred at Holy Cross Cemetery in Culver City, California. <mask> was of the Roman Catholic faith and a lifelong Democrat who supported Adlai Stevenson's campaign during the 1952 presidential election. Recognition
In 1941, <mask> was selected as "the ideal Pan-American girl" by 200 chapters of the Pan-American League on college campuses across the United States. Partial filmography

title: James Oswald (elder)

texts:
<mask> was a member of the Parliament of Scotland, 1703-1707, representing Kirkcaldy and, later, the member for Dysart Burghs in the House of Commons of Great Britain. Early life
He was born in 1650, second son of <mask> of Kirkcaldy in Fife and Isobel Anderson. His father was a merchant navy captain and he followed the same occupation becoming a wealthy captain. It was noted that in 1681 he was a captain trading to Holland and bringing back goods on his own account. By 1689 he was a burgess of Kirkcaldy and successfully petitioned the Privy Council to relieve the burden of taxation on Kirkcaldy, because of the decay of trade of the burgh. Contested Election to Parliament

Under an Act of Parliament of 1469, burgh members of Parliament were chosen by the town councils, so for the election of 1702 the town council of Kirkcaldy met on 8 September. The member, called "burgh commissioner", since 1689 had been John Boswell, but Captain <mask> stood against him.Since 1690 the Earl of Leven had been annually re-elected as provost. There followed a power struggle between the Earl of Leven and the <mask> family lasting almost a year. First, Captain <mask> claimed that the Earl of Leven, the provost, could not take part in the election meeting on several grounds. On his part, the provost disallowed four <mask> supporters from voting, councillors <mask>, John Durie (future father in law of his son <mask>) and two others. In the election there were 9 votes for Boswell, including the provost, and 9 votes for <mask>, including himself and <mask>. However <mask>, as procurator, produced a formal document protesting the exclusion of the four above and recording their votes. The provost declared Boswell elected, but the majority of the council were recorded as electing Captain <mask>.But on 5 October <mask> was elected provost in place of the Earl of Leven and a week later the council voted to send Captain <mask> (and advocates) to Edinburgh to claim his seat in Parliament. However, the Earl of Leven's father, George, Earl of Melville, was president of the Privy Council, and on 26 November the Privy Council decreed there had been no lawful quorum in the Kirkcaldy council, declared the election of officials null and void, that Captain <mask> and 7 other councillors were ineligible to vote at the next election. Captain <mask> was ordered to seek pardon, "on his knees" from the Earl of Leven for "opprobrious words uttered by him against the earl". When the new Parliament first met in May 1703, it placed Kirkcaldy on a list of contested elections and thus the contest went to the Committee for Controverted Elections. With the aid of the Earl of Rothes, hereditary sheriff of Fife, <mask> was able to overturn Leven’s influence and on 17 August, he was admitted to Parliament. Meanwhile on 15 December 1702, the Earl of Leven's father was replaced as president of the Privy Council, by the Marquis of Annandale. The Privy Council on 15th Sept. 1703 cancelled their previous decision and the burgh officials (<mask>'s allies) were reinstated.Parliament
In parliament he allied with the Country party, rather than Rothes' Squadrone group. The Country party led by the Duke of Hamilton arose in 1702-3 to address various grievances against the governing party, but they were divided between those in favour and against the 1689 revolution settlement. Shortly before <mask> was admitted to Parliament, it passed the Act of Security on 13 August 1703, which stipulated that the successor to Queen Anne must be a protestant, but not the same person who sat on the English throne, unless various trade and other conditions were met. However, the royal assent was withheld until 1704. The Duke of Hamilton tabled a motion on 17 July 1704 proposing these conditions and refusing assent to government funding until this was enshrined in law. <mask> voted in favour of the Duke of Hamilton’s motion. With the help of Rothes' group this was passed and the royal assent given to the Act.When the proposed union with England came before Parliament, it first considered Article 1 of the treaty of union, namely that the two Kingdoms should on 1 May 1707 be united into one. Before the question was put, the Duke of Atholl presented a resolution against an Incorporating Union. The Country party urged that such a union was against the interests and honour of the country. <mask> voted for this protest, which was recorded in the parliamentary record. <mask> then voted against Article 1, but it was carried by a majority of 34 votes. When Parliament considered Article 3 of the treaty, namely the amalgamation of the parliaments into one, <mask> voted for the resolution of the Marquis of Annandale against an Incorporating Union, but the vote was lost. He lost likewise when voting against the article itself, which abolished the Scottish Parliament.<mask> was consistently in opposition to the proposed union. He, together with Scrymgeour of Dundee, Allardyce of Aberdeen, William Sutherland of Elgin, and Andrew Watson of St Andrews set about amending later articles give better terms. All, except Scrymgeour, were nationalists, with Allardyce and Sutherland furthermore being Jacobites. <mask> missed the final vote ratifying the treaty, by which time Kirkcaldy burgh council called him home to save expense. Burgh of Kirkcaldy
Back in Kirkcaldy, <mask> was elected as Provost in 1706–8, 1710–12 and 1714–15. As Provost in 1714, he concurred in the council’s unanimous decision, motivated by ‘true and just principles of loyalty’, to celebrate the coronation of George I. Parliament of Great Britain
By the Acts of Union 1707 burgh constituencies of Scotland (except Edinburgh) were put into groups, each only electing one member of the Union parliament.In the group each burgh had one vote and in case of a tie the presiding burgh, which rotated, had a casting vote. Kirkcaldy was placed in the Dysart Burghs group, which had 4 burghs. In 1710, the first M.P. for Dysart burghs was found not qualified and <mask>, the illegitimate half-brother of the Duke of Hamilton, was elected at a by-election. Later that year, a general election came about in the wake of the collapse of the Whig government led by Godolphin and the Whig Junto, who instigated the Union in 1707. Abercromby was overawed by the recent election of <mask> as provost of Kirkcaldy, which would be presiding burgh at that election with a casting vote. Abercromby calculated he could only win if <mask> did not stand against him.As he did stand, Abercromby withdrew and <mask> was elected unopposed. In Parliament, <mask> aligned with the Tories, who won the general election on a policy of pursuing peace with France. <mask> persuaded his constituency to send a motion for peace in July 1712, when it seemed in prospect. When in May 1713 he notified Kirkcaldy of the Peace of Utrecht, which ended the War of Spanish Succession, a great celebration was held in the town. No speech by <mask> in the House of Commons was recorded. In 1711 he partook in the drafting of a bill to regulate the Scottish linen industry. He voted against Mungo Graham when he was unseated on petition on 10 February 1711.On 7 Feb. 1712 he voted in favour of the Scottish toleration bill. Following the death of the Duke of Hamilton, his half brother Abercromby had no hope of retaking Dysart Burghs and <mask> was re-elected on 22 Sept. 1713. But he retired at the next election in 1715 because of his age. Dunnikier

Dunnikier House, now Path House, in Kirkcaldy, was built by John Watson in 1692, but was sold to <mask> in 1703 when he was Dean of Guild. From then until 1938, <mask>'s descendants owned the estate of Dunnikier. However, in 1791-93, his great grandson <mask> <mask> arranged for a new mansion to be built in the northern part of the parish of Kirkcaldy, by Alexander Laing. but the estate continued to be named Dunnikier.The family lived there until the last of the line, Colonel St Clair <mask>, C.R., died at Dunnikier House on 14th Dec 1938. and his wife, on her death in 1973, was interned at Dunnikier. Later life
In 1715, his son and heir also called <mask> married Ann Durie, daughter of John Durie, <mask>’s ally in Kirkcaldy council. He died in 1716. He was succeeded as owner of Dunnikier by his son <mask> (1685-1725), then by his son also called <mask> (1715–69), who like his grandfather became M.P. for Dysart Burghs, in 1741. Bibliography
