Occupation	Stand-up comedian

Rich Hall (born 10 June 1954 in Alexandria, Virginia) is an American comedian and writer. He was a writer and performer on the sketch comedy TV series Fridays, Not Necessarily the News, and Saturday Night Live. He has appeared several times on the American talk shows Late Show with David Letterman, and Late Night with Conan O’Brien and on British comedy panel shows QI, Mock the Week, 8 out of 10 cats, Have I Got News for You and Never Mind the Buzzcocks.

In 1986, he had his own Showtime channel special, Vanishing America, which was turned into a book with the same title. He hosted a talk show during The Comedy Channel’s 1990-1991 season, entitled Rich Hall’s Onion World.

Rich Hall coined the term “sniglet” (a word that “doesn’t appear in the dictionary, but should”), and collected and published several volumes of books of them. Matt Groening has described him as the inspiration for Moe Szyslak from The Simpsons.

He lives in London with his wife Karen and their daughter, Dixie Rae.

United Kingdom

Outside of his homeland, Hall has also achieved popularity in the United Kingdom, where he has lived for twenty three years. Despite relocating there on filming purposes, he relocated for a time to Montana, United States, but subsequently returned to the United Kingdom and currently lives in London. Hall is a regular guest on popular BBC panel quiz shows. In 2000, he won the Perrier Comedy Award at the Edinburgh Fringe, in the guise of his own grizzled uncle, Otis Lee Crenshaw, the much-convicted country music singer. He has released several albums and a concert movie as this character. In 2004, he published a book of the man’s memoirs, entitled Otis Lee Crenshaw: I Blame Society, and has recently finished a screenplay for a film based on the book, written for the director Mel Smith.

In 2004, he appeared as part of Jack Dee’s Jack Dee Live at the Apollo series to perform a stand-up routine. The appearance achieved some cult status due to his line of jokes about Tom Cruise, and the perceivable similarities between many of his roles.

In 2006, Hall wrote and acted in the play Levelland at the Edinburgh Festival.

He has had three BBC TV series of his own: Rich Hall’s Badly Funded Think Tank, Rich Hall’s Fishing Show in 2003, and Rich Hall’s Cattle Drive in 2006, as well as a one off programme about the 2004 American Presidential Elections, Rich Hall’s Election Special.

He regularly appears as a guest on comedy panel game programmes, such as Have I Got News for You, QI, 8 out of 10 Cats and Never Mind the Buzzcocks to major critical acclaim. To fans of the QI series, he is known as the game’s all-time victory leader with seven wins on the show. He also appeared on the BBC Two programme Top Gear, where he successfully managed to make a song about a Rover 25 car, much to the enjoyment of the audience and the host, Jeremy Clarkson. After the September 11, 2001 attacks, Hall was entrusted with the task of responding to the tragedy on the first subsequent edition of Have I Got News for You.

In 2007, he returned to the Fringe with his second play, Best Western, which he wrote and directed.

In 2008 he returned to television with a 90-minute documentary about Westerns, Rich Hall’s How the West Was Lost, broadcast on BBC Four. In November of the same year he also appeared in the first episode of the new series of Live at the Apollo on BBC One.

Also in 2008 Hall toured two stand-up shows around the UK: ‘Rich Hall Autumn Tour 2008′ played around 45 dates and he also went on the road as his alter-ego in a show entitled ‘Otis Lee Crenshaw and Band’ that listed Rich Hall as a ’special guest’.

Appearances

He made an Irish TV appearance as a guest on the fifth series of RTÉ’s topical news comedy program, Don’t Feed the Gondolas, and appears at the Kilkenny Cat Laughs comedy festival every year as well as the Galway comedy festival the last number of years. He has also performed at the West Belfast Festival / Feile an Phobail, one of the largest community festivals in Ireland, to a sell-out audience where he received widespread critical acclaim.

He has also achieved some popularity in Australia, regularly appearing at the Melbourne International Comedy Festival and the Adelaide Fringe Festival, and also on Australian comedy panel shows, such as The Glass House and Spicks and Specks.

Rich appeared, albeit briefly, in the 2006 Cheap Seats (ESPNCL) episode titled “Steve Garvey Celebrity Skiing”. He was also at the Garvey 1989 Celebrity Ski Classic.

Dutch hip hop or Nederhop is hip hop music created by musicians in the Netherlands.

Early days

In 1986, Dutch rap duo MC Miker G & DJ Sven (Lucien Witteveen and Sven van Veen) had a top 10 hit across Europe with “Holiday Rap”, which sampled Madonna’s “Holiday”. Another 1980s group was the Osdorp Posse, who first started to record tracks in Dutch.

In 1992, Osdorp Posse released their debut album Osdorp Stijl, which was the first-ever Dutch hip hop . They started out translating N.W.A songs to Dutch, though later wrote their own rhymes in Dutch. Their beats, created by producer Seda, have a familiar heavy sound and are similar to U.S. old-school hip hop. Frontman Def-P describes it as hardcore rap. In the 17 years of de Osdorp Posse’s existence, the crew hasn’t changed their style and are still making hardcore hip hop.

Notable in the late 80s were All Star Fresh of King Bee topping charts with: “Back by dope demand” in early 1990 and Rudeboy of Urban Dance Squad who, at the time, were arguably more widely known in New York City than the Netherlands.

Later days

After the first Osdorp Posse demo cassette they toured around the Netherlands. In Deventer they found the first followers and the first Dutch language hip hop scene. The first hip hop groups after Osdorp Posse were Zuid-Oost Posse and Maasstraat Mannen. These groups did concerts all over the Netherlands. Maasstraat became famous as the first group combining reggae with Dutch lyrics, inspiring acts like Postmen, for example.

Another Dutch-language rapper is Extince, who in 1995 took Nederhop to a new commercial level. With two of his singles Spraakwater and Kaal of Kammen being major hits in the mid-1990s, Extince was the first Dutch rapper making the MegaCharts|Dutch charts.Other notable acts include Ali B|Ali B. (who has been featured on other artists’ tracks, most significantly with Marco Borsato on the song “Wat zou je doen?” for the charity War Child (charity)|War Child who achieved solo success with “Leipe mocro flavour”. Together with his cousin Yes-R he made an international remix of “Ghetto” together with Akon.; the duo Lange Frans & Baas B with their patriotic but introspective “Het land van (song)|Het Land Van”; and Yes-R. Other notable groups are “Opgezwolle” (consisting of rapper Sticky Steez, rapper Frico Rico and DJ Delic) and Brainpower.

There were two styles dominating the Dutch hip hop landscape: Extince, known for his easy flows, catchy songs and funky tunes, while hardcore performers like Westklan and Osdorp Posse found their own niche group of fans.

In the mid 1990s The Postmen were topping the charts with their rap/reggae mix.

Recently

In the early 2000s the MC fronted band Relax got much airplay, as did de Spookrijders.

A combination of these two styles gave birth to de Spookrijders, a three man hip hop group founded in 1996. With MC’s Stefan and Clyde rapping about their personal lives and life in Amsterdam as a black man, de Spookrijders even gained respect from non-hip hop musicians and fans. Most people admired the work of producer/DJ Cliff ‘the Jazz’ Nille after releasing Spookrijders debut album’De Echte Shit. In 1999 de Spookrijders hit the charts twice with the hits Klokkenluiders and Ik ben de man. Both these songs appeared on the second album, Klokkenluiders van Amsterdam. After some personal argues among the three crewmembers, de Spookrijders split up in 2003, after releasing their and final third album Hee… Spookies!!

Opgezwolle, a group from Zwolle latest album, “Eigen Wereld” (Own world) appeared in the ‘Album Top 100′ at number 4; the highest notation of a Dutch rap-album ever.

In the mid 2000s Cilvaringz, Ali B and Raymzter have commercially been successful and Lange Frans & Baas B have had multiple #1 hits. In 2005, De Jeugd van Tegenwoordig (”The youth of today”) were successful with Watskeburt?! (”Wuzhappenin?!“).

Rapper Jawat won the “Grote prijs van Nederland” 2006.

Another Dutch hiphop Duo are Pete Philly and Perquisite who are already well known in the Netherlands and even in Japan.

The most famous Dutch rapper outside the Netherlands is Salah Edin. His album ‘Nederlands Grootste Nachtmerrie’ won Best Album Award in 2007 and was fully produced by Dr.Dre’s right hand man Focus… He also shot three of the most expensive music videos ever in the history of Dutch Hip Hop and through a management deal with Cilvaringz, performed in 34 countries worldwide.

Genres in Dutch hip hop

Gangsta

Dutch gangsta hip hop doesn’t have much different groups and the most known one is THC (Tuindorp Hustler Click), LSD (Lyricale Straat Dichters) Heinek’n, Kempi and Tuigcommissie. The beats are similar to that from the American beats and the lyrics are often about what they see and what happens to them in a world ruled by crime, albeit true or false.

Commercial success

The commercial success of Dutch hip hop is largely made by Brainpower, Yes-R, Ali B, Lange Frans & Baas B and Extince. For a large part of the Dutch hip hop community Yes-R, Ali B and Lange Frans & Baas B are sometimes considered fake because they do a lot of work for children TV stations. Brainpower and Extince however both enjoy a great respect for bringing up hip hop in their native Dutch. Other commercial rappers are De Jeugd van Tegenwoordig, and one of the more popular artists in the Netherlands, Partysquad or The Partysquad. They are a 5-man group, having had success with hits such as “Stuk” (broken), and “Dat is Die Shit” (That’s the shit), with other popular songs in the background such as “Non Stop” ft. Brainpower, “We Gaan Los” (we’re going crazy {because of highness or drunkenness}) with Kempi, and “Wat Wil Je Doen” (Whut u gonna do?).

Almere, Amersfoort, Amstelveen, Amsterdam, Rotterdam, Utrecht, Zwolle

The Dutch hip hop scene is roughly divided by seven of the Netherlands’ larger cities.

• Almere - Ali B, Darryl, Moccro’s
• Amsterdam - Osdorp Posse, De Jeugd van Tegenwoordig, Raymzter, Brainpower, Opposites, D-Men, Lange Frans & Baas B, Negativ, Ali B and Yes-R
• Utrecht - Steen
• Zwolle - The Zwolle MCs are Blaxtar and his brother Typhoon and the MCs Phreako Rico and Sticky Steez from Opgezwolle with their Beatmaker & DJ Dippy Delic. Another important figure from Zwolle is Beatmaker & DJ Kubus.
• Rotterdam - DuvelDuvel, U-niq, Winne, Feis, Dion
• Amersfoort - Spacekees, Jiggy Djé, and Terilekst
• Amstelveen - Dynamic Duo

Dutch oldskool

The Dutch oldskool exists out of three primary artists, Osdorp Posse, Extince and Brainpower. Osdorp Posse make to what they themselves call hardcore rap and use beats that have much in common with N.W.A.. Their lyrics are about racism, prostitution (not always negatively), police and other social subjects. Extince uses very different, more funky kind of beats than Osdorp Posse and uses a completely different rapstyle. Brainpower’s lyrics are most known to be party songs (his number 1 song “Dansplaat“) and about love though he has a many lyrics that are more thought through, and quite cleverly put together.

Striped burrowing frog
Conservation status
Least Concern (IUCN 3.1)
Scientific classification
Kingdom: Animalia Phylum: Chordata Class: Amphibia Order: Anura Family: Hylidae Genus: Cyclorana Species: C. alboguttata
Binomial name
Cyclorana alboguttata Günther, (1867)
Range of the Striped Burrowing Frog

The striped burrowing frog (Cyclorana alboguttata) is a species of burrowing frog in the Hylidae family. It occurs throughout much of Australia, from northern New South Wales, through eastern and northern Queensland and into eastern Northern Territory. This species was once included in the genus Litoria.

Physical description

This species grows up to 65 millimetres (2.6 in) in length. It is brown, olive or green dorsally, with darker blotches. There is usually a pale yellow or yellow-green stripe down the back, and a dark streak runs from the snout, through the eye and the tympanum, breaking up down the flanks. This stripe has lateral skin fold above it. The backs of the thighs are dark, almost black, with large white, with some flecks brown on the throat and chest. The skin of the back has scatterd warts and ridges. The belly is granular, but the throat and chest are smooth. The toes are half webbed. The tympanum is distinct.

Ecology and behaviour

C. alboguttata lives in woodlands, grassy and cleared areas. It is usually only seen around temporary pools and water-filled claypans. The species is active by day and night. This frog is known to go through a period of torpor when resources are scant. University of Queensland researchers have discovered that their cell metabolism changes during a dormancy period, allowing the frogs to maximise the use of their limited energy resources without ever emptying. This discovery could prove to have important medical applications, particularly regarding obesity.

Reproduction

Males call from around the grassy edges of temporary pools and ditches. They are often heard by day, and usually seen only after heavy summer rain. The call is a rapid “quacking” and eggs are laid in clumps near the waters edge.

This species may be confused with Cyclorana australis but can be distinguished by the lateral skin folds on either side of the dorsal surface.

The Second City is a long-running improvisational comedy enterprise which originated in Chicago’s Old Town neighborhood.

The Second City Theatre opened on December 16, 1959 and has since expanded its presence to several other cities, including Toronto and Los Angeles. The Second City has produced television programs in both the United States and Canada including SCTV, Second City Presents, and Next Comedy Legend, as well as being heavily involved in the creation of the satirical 1969 sci-fi film “The Monitors.” The Second City Las Vegas closed on Aug. 1, 2008. Since its debut, Second City has consistently been a starting point for comedians, award winning actors, directors, and others in show business.

History

Second City evolved from the Compass Players, a 1950s cabaret revue show started by undergraduates at the University of Chicago. The troupe chose the self-mocking name “The Second City” from the title of an article about Chicago by A. J. Liebling that appeared in The New Yorker in 1952. In 1959, the first Second City revue show premiered at 1842 North Wells Street and moved to 1616 North Wells in 1967. Co-founder Bernard Sahlins owned the theater company until 1985, before selling it to Canadian Andrew Alexander.

The style of comedy has changed with time, but the format has remained constant. Second City revues feature a mix of semi-improvised and scripted scenes with new material developed during unscripted improv sessions after the second act where scenes are created based on audience suggestions. A Second City innovation is the inclusion of live, improvised music during the performance.

A number of well-known performers began careers as part of the historic troupe and later moved to television and film. In the mid-1970s, Second City became a source of cast members for Saturday Night Live and SCTV, which borrowed many of the writing and performing techniques pioneered by Second City and other improv groups.

Along with its theaters, training centers, and television shows, Second City also produces improv and sketch shows for Norwegian Cruise Lines.

SCTV

Main article: Second City Television

Second City Television, or SCTV, was a Canadian television sketch comedy show offshoot from the Toronto troupe of the Second City that ran from 1976 to 1984.

The basic premise of SCTV was modeled on a television station in the fictional city of Melonville. Rather than broadcast the usual TV rerun fare, the business, run by the greedy Guy Caballero (Joe Flaherty) sitting in a wheelchair only to gain sympathy and leverage in business and staff negotiations, operates a bizarre and humorously incompetent range of cheap local programming. The range included a soap opera called “The Days of the Week;” game shows such as “Shoot the Stars,” in which celebrities literally are shot at in similar fashion to targets in a shooting gallery; and movie spoofs such as “Play it Again, Bob” in which Woody Allen (Rick Moranis) attempts to entice Bob Hope (Dave Thomas) to star in his next film. In-house media melodrama also was satirized by John Candy’s vain, bloated variety star character Johnny La Rue, Thomas’ acerbic critic Bill Needle and Andrea Martin’s flamboyant, leopard-skin clad station manager Mrs. Edith Prickley.

The Second City Training Center

Main article: The Second City Training Center

The Second City Training Center was founded in the mid-1980s to facilitate the growing demand for workshops and instruction from the world famous Second City theatre. Training Centers are located in Chicago, Toronto and Los Angeles. The Training Centers have grown substantially since the Second City Conservatory was established in the mid-1980s under the tutelage of longtime Chicago improv instructors and mentors Martin de Maat and Sheldon Patinkin. The Chicago Training Center has over 1,800 students in several disciplines, including improvisation and comedy writing. Former Training Center students include Steve Carell, Tina Fey, Amy Poehler, Mike Myers, Chris Farley, Tim Meadows, Bonnie Hunt, Stephen Colbert, Halle Berry, Sean Hayes, Amy Sedaris, Jon Favreau, Hinton Battle, Jack McBrayer, Dave Foley and Kevin McDonald. Classes are taught by working professionals, many of whom are current and former Second City performers.

The Second City Parents School

In the early days of Second City, several parents and Lincoln Park community members — including Paul and Carol Sills and Dennis and Mona Cunningham — started a progressive school for their children, based on Viola Spolin’s play therapy philosophy with her son Paul Sills’ theater games refinements to it. Early Second City staff, and Old Town and Lincoln Park community members, were deeply involved in the school, including the Sillses and Cunninghams, Viola Spolin, John Schultz, Mel Spiegel, and Beverly Gold. The progressive curriculum included daily theater games, and many students went on to careers in entertainment. Briefly at the original Old Town theater site at the intersection of Clark, Wells, and Lincoln Avenue, the school had several locations in Lincoln Park until it closed in the mid-1970s.

Andrew Alexander

Andrew Alexander took the reins of Second City Toronto, Canada, in 1974 and formed a partnership with Len Stuart in 1976, starting The Second City Entertainment Company. Its first television production was SCTV. Alexander co-developed and executive produced over 185 half-hour shows for the award-winning comedy series, and produced over 150 hours of award-winning television comedy. Alexander has had co-production deals with MGM Television, Imagine Films, Disney Studios and United Artists, and has developed television programming for CBC, NBC, ABC, CBS, Fox, Comedy Central, HBO, Showtime, and A&E. He has produced movies and television with such notable talents as John Candy, Dan Aykroyd, Bonnie Hunt, Mike Myers, Chris Farley, Rick Moranis, Catherine O’Hara, Martin Short, Harold Ramis, Dave Thomas, Jim Belushi, George Wendt, Ed Asner, Andrea Martin, Steve Carell, Stephen Colbert and Tina Fey

In 1985, Alexander and Stuart became owners of Chicago’s Second City. He has produced or executive produced over 200 Second City revues in Canada and the United States. Most recently, Alexander has expanded The Second City TV & Film Division with offices in Los Angeles and Toronto and was executive producer on the recently released feature film Intern’s Academy.

He serves on the Columbia College Board of Trustees, is Chair of the Gilda’s Club Honorary Board (Toronto), and is also an Honorary Member of the Chicago Gilda’s Club Board.

Awards

The Second City has twice been awarded an Equity Joseph Jefferson Award, once in 1997 as an ensemble in the “New Work” category for Paradigm Lost. The show featured Tina Fey, Scott Adsit, Kevin Dorff, Rachel Dratch, Jenna Jolovitz, Jim Zulevic and was directed by Mick Napier. Stephnie Weir received the “Actress in a Revue” Jeff Award for Second City 4.0 in 2000.

Toronto’s Second City mainstage troupe has won four Canadian Comedy Awards: “Best Improv Troupe” (2001), “Best Sketch Troupe” (2001) and “Best Comedic Play” winners Family Circus Maximus (2002) and Psychedelicatessen (2003).

Dorothy G. Cumming was an actress of the silent film era. She appeared in 39 American, English, and Australian films between 1915 and 1929. She also appeared in stage productions in those same countries. After her film career ended, she became a designer of wallpapers in association with her sister Rose Cumming.

Birth data

She was born in New South Wales. Her 1932 wedding announcement in the New York Times states that her family was from Morrengullen Estates, New South Wales. Though published information gives her birth year as 1899, that same ship’s manifest, accessed at ellisisland.org, gives Cumming’s age as 26 years and 7 months, which would mean she was born four years earlier, in 1895. The 7 months also puts her birth month at odds, since it indicates that she was born in July, rather than April.

Family

The youngest daughter of Victor Cumming, a sheep rancher, and his wife, the former Sarah T. Fennell, she had two full siblings: Rose Cumming, who became a prominent American interior decorator, and Eileen Cumming, an advertising executive who married rheumatologist Dr. Russell LaFayette Cecil. She also had several half-siblings from her mother’s first marriage.

Marriages

Dorothy Cumming was married twice. Her first husband was Frank Elliott Dakin (married 1922 - divorced 1927). Her second husband, whom she married on 2 August 1932, was Allan McNab, a British artist and designer who became the art director of Life, worked as design director for Norman Bel Geddes, and became the director of administration of the Art Institute of Chicago.

Children

She had three children, including two sons from her first marriage, Anthony Cumming and Lt. Greville C. E. Cumming (1921-1942).

Death

She died in New York in 1983.

Kosaku Yamada (山田耕筰, Yamada Kōsaku^?), (9 June 1886 - 29 December 1965) was a Japanese composer and conductor.

In many Western reference books his name is given as Kósçak Yamada. During his music study in the Imperial German capital of Berlin from 1910-13 he hated the moment when people laughed at him because his “normal” transliteration of his first name “Kosaku” sounded like the Italian “cosa” meaning “what” or “thing” + the German “Kuh” meaning “cow”; which resulted in his choosing a somewhat fanciful transliteration of Kósçak Yamada ever since. Yamada was born and died in Tokyo.

After studying at the Tokyo Music School, he left Japan for Germany where he enrolled in the Berlin Hochschule and learnt composition, before going to the USA for two years.

Yamada left about 1600 pieces of music. Especially, songs (Lieder) amount to 700 pieces of music excluding songs for schools, municipalities and companies. They were performed and recorded by many singers which include Kathleen Battle, Ernst Haefliger and Yoshikazu Mera. His opera Kurofune (The Black Ships) is regarded as one of the famous Japanese operas.

As a conductor, Yamada made an effort to introduce many orchestral works to Japan. He was the first performer in Japan of Debussy’s Prélude à l’après-midi d’un faune, Dvořák’s Symphony No. 9, Gershwin’s An American in Paris, Mosolov’s Iron Foundry, Sibelius’ Finlandia, Shostakovich’s Symphony No. 1, Johann Strauss II’s An der schönen blauen Donau, and Wagner’s Siegfried Idyll.

Marina di Camerota is a little town, the largest hamlet (frazione) of Camerota (SA) more than its seat, in Campania region (Italy).

History

in the XVII century, Marina di Linfreschi was a little group of houses, and the urban population expanded it around a church of San Domenico de Guzmán.
The town was a place of emigration to South America, especially to Venezuela, in the 19th century. The relationship with the American country is still strong, evidenced, for example, by a statue of Simón Bolívar built in the middle of the village, in front of the harbour side.

Geography

Marina di Camerota lies on the southern side of Cilento, on the Tyrrhenian Sea, and it is the port of its “commune“. The town is 5 km from Camerota, 8 from Palinuro, 25 from Policastro, and 90 from Salerno. The town, located on 40°N parallel, is the southernmost inhabited area of Campania.

The town of Marina is a part of “Cilento and Vallo di Diano National Park”, whose natural environment is composed of “Maquis”, typical of Mediterranean countries. It is a main tourism location, especially in the summer, due to the quality of its water, which has earned it the Blue Flag beach award every year since 2000.
Marina di Camerota is also interesting for its paleontologic caves , with human fossils discovered in ’80s. One of these caves, located in Lentiscella zone, is a museum which accommodates the “Lion of Caprera” (Leone di Caprera), a little schooner which in 1880–1881 crossed the Atlantic Ocean from Montevideo to Livorno.
Another point of interest is represented by three “telegraph towers”, built by Bourbons and included in a system of defence and communication points, along the southern side of the Tyrrhenian coast.

Transport

The main infrastructure in the town is represented by the port, linked also to Salerno and Naples by hydrofoils. Nearest main road is distant 20 km (north) its the Salerno-Battipaglia-Paestum-Agropoli-Vallo della Lucania-Policastro-Sapri. Nearest railway station is Pisciotta-Palinuro, distant 20 km, on Naples-Reggio Calabria line.
