Jack davenport8/22/2023 ![]() ![]() The series follows a group of people coming together to put on a Marilyn Monroe musical on Broadway. In May 2011, it was reported that NBC has picked up the show as a series for the autumn 2011 TV season. In February 2011, Davenport was cast in the NBC musical drama pilot Smash. The series was cancelled after a single series. In the series, Davenport played the character of Lloyd Simcoe, a physicist allegedly responsible for a worldwide blackout, which causes the whole world to see the future. In 2008, Davenport was cast in the ABC pilot FlashForward, which was based on a Robert J. In 2007 Davenport was cast in Swingtown, a period and relationship drama for CBS about the impact of sexual and social liberation in 1970s American suburban households, with story arcs involving open marriages and key parties. In 2006, he featured in the ITV1 drama The Incredible Journey of Mary Bryant and in 2009 starred in the film The Boat That Rocked. He also provides the voice over for the British MasterCard advertisements (the American being done by Billy Crudup). Ripley, Coupling and Ultraviolet, as well as the box office smash Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl, and its sequels, Dead Man's Chest and At World's End.ĭuring his career Davenport has also performed voice-overs, having narrated the audio versions of John Buchan's The Thirty-Nine Steps and recorded parts in Anthony Burgess' A Clockwork Orange. Since then Davenport has played roles in many successful films and TV series, including The Talented Mr. After the production of Fierce Creatures was completed, Davenport found an agent who secured him an audition for the role of Miles Stewart in the BBC television drama series This Life. Whilst a small part with few lines it provided his first opportunity to work in front of the camera. Cleese instead sent Davenport's letter to the casting department, and he was subsequently cast as a trainee zookeeper. His mother advised him, after his graduation from UEA, to write to John Cleese requesting work on the set of his upcoming film, Fierce Creatures, so that Davenport could gain some experience behind the camera. Davenport had considered becoming a member of a film crew, as opposed to acting in front of the camera. He tried acting once more at the UEA but was not, at this point, particularly interested in it. The following year, he attended the University of East Anglia (UEA), concentrating in Film Studies and English Literature. Aged 18 he was in Wales, performing bit parts in Hamlet, where he became friends with Rhys Ifans. A director from Clwyd Theatr Cymru was impressed by his performance in a summer drama course and asked Davenport to work for him. Careerĭavenport had not planned to become an actor however, his career began when he took a gap year after attending Cheltenham College. He then went on to attend Cheltenham College, followed by the British American Drama Academy. His parents divorced when he was seven, at which point he was sent to the independent Dragon School in Oxford, as his parents did not want him to become involved in the divorce proceedings. His uncle is writer and former Conservative MP Jonathan Aitken, his maternal grandmother was socialite Penelope Aitken, his maternal grandfather was politician William Aitken, and one of his maternal great-grandfathers was John Maffey, 1st Baron Rugby. Davenport, the son of actors Nigel Davenport and Maria Aitken, was born in Wimbledon, London, and lived in Ibiza, Spain, for the first seven years of his life.

Neo melubrina8/22/2023 ![]() As part of the FDA's high standards, drugs can be manufactured only at plants registered with the agency, whether those facilities are domestic or foreign. Interstate shipment includes importation-bringing drugs from a foreign country into the United States.ĭrugs sold in the United States also must have proper labeling that conforms with the FDA's requirements, and must be made in accordance with good manufacturing practices. Under the FD&C Act, the interstate shipment of any prescription drug that lacks required FDA approval is illegal. ![]() Joe McCallion, a consumer safety officer in the FDA's Office of Regulatory Affairs, sums it up this way: "If you buy drugs that come from outside the U.S., the FDA doesn't know what you're getting, which means safety can't be assured." Benefits of a Closed System Drug standards and regulations vary from country to country, and the FDA is responsible only for those marketed and sold inside the United States. And just because a drug is approved in a foreign country, that doesn't mean it's approved in the United States. Whether you're searching for a cheaper price or dodging the doctor's office, the FDA warns against using unapproved drugs. And if you experience some kind of allergic reaction or other side effect, it's hard to trace the problem and treat it." "The drugs could be old, contaminated, or counterfeit. "I've seen eye medications that look like they're 20 years old," Hancz says. The list of safety risks is long, but the principal problems involve the use of prescription drugs without a physician's supervision and the danger of buying drugs of unknown origin and quality. Attorney's Office for the Central District of California has indicated that legitimate or state-licensed clinics exist where immigrants can be treated safely regardless of immigration status. Hancz says that HALT has seized prescription drugs found mostly in Latino, Asian, and Russian immigrant communities, where some undocumented immigrants, fearing that their immigration status may be discovered, have sought health care in back rooms. Other drug sellers have taken their businesses underground, moving from storefronts to private homes in an attempt to hide.Īs in Selene's case, some criminals have falsely claimed to have a medical background and not only illegally sold drugs, but administered injections. ![]() Local lawmakers have stiffened penalties, and many illegal pharmacies have been shut down. Ring members have been arrested and accused of violating the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (FD&C Act). The FDA's Office of Criminal Investigations in Los Angeles has teamed with HALT to uncover major black market pharmacy rings selling Spanish-labeled pharmaceuticals. "Then there are controlled substances like Valium, which you do need a prescription for in Mexico." "Plenty of drugs that require a prescription in the United States-like antibiotics, cardiac drugs, and birth control pills-are available over the counter in Mexico," he says. Marv Shepherd, Ph.D., director of the Pharmacoeconomic Center at the University of Texas at Austin, places drugs available in Mexico into two categories. Experts say the problem mirrors what goes on in nearby Mexico, where easy access to prescription drugs is common. HALT was launched as part of the crackdown, and task force members have confiscated a variety of prescription drugs being sold illegally. "We've found drugs that were stored in tin containers and car trunks," says Daniel Hancz, Pharm.D., a pharmacist with the Health Authority Law Enforcement Task Force (HALT) in Los Angeles, an organization of police officers and other law enforcement personnel with special training in pharmaceuticals. Her death set off a crackdown in December 2000 on smuggling drugs from Mexico and selling them at swap meets, gift stores, clothing stores, meat markets, and other retail establishments in Southern California. That was 20 years after the Food and Drug Administration had banned the drug in the United States because of potentially fatal side effects, including a drop in white blood cells that hampers the body's ability to fight off infections. Selene Seguros Rios was 18 months old in 1999 when she received two injections of a pain and fever drug called Neo-Melubrina (dipyrone) in an illegal backroom clinic in Tustin, Calif.

The lion sleeps tonight wimoweh midi8/22/2023 ![]() At the time, they were basing their composition on an obscure recording of the song and merely assumed that it was a traditional African folk song that fell in the public domain. It might be unfair to say that Pete Seeger and The Weavers flat-out stole this song from Solomon Linda. Library of Congress If you’re trying to preserve a folk song, you could do a lot worse. That copy of "Mbube" definitely caught his ear, and over the next couple of years, Seeger had adapted the song with his band The Weavers into their single “Wimoweh,” which peaked at #6 on the charts. Lomax had sent the records to his friend, folk legend Pete Seeger, to see if there was anything in there that piqued his interest. In 1949, a copy of "Mbube" found its way into a stack of albums that American ethnomusicologist (fancy word for music snob with a passport) Alan Lomax had saved from being thrown away at his job at Decca Records. But his legacy lived on through his music, and his biggest hit inspired a new genre of African a cappella music called Isicathamiya, also referred to as Mbube.ģ How Mbube Came to America and Became Wimoweh Even though he and his music were still popular at the time of his death, he died in such poverty that his family couldn’t afford a tombstone for his grave for another 18 years. Solomon Linda died of kidney failure in 1962. Via Wikimedia Commons Let’s take a moment to admire the Evening Birds in their slick suits before, predictably, the story turns soul-crushing. He got paid to perform his hit song at gigs, but not from royalties. What it didn’t make him, however, was a lot of money. The next year, while recording other songs in the studio, Linda and the Evening Birds started riffing on some melodies and lyrics and came up with "Mbube." The song became a huge hit, selling over 100,000 copies in 1939, and made Solomon Linda a celebrity in South Africa. This helped Linda and his group, The Evening Birds, to get the attention of one of Gallo’s lead talent scouts. He worked as a record packer at the Gallo Record Company in Johannesburg, South Africa, which just so happened to run the only recording studio not just in South Africa but in the whole region of sub-Saharan Africa. His day job, however, helped him get his foot in the door. In 1938, Solomon Linda was living a life that’s all too real for a lot of musicians: working a boring day job to keep the bills paid between gigs. We’re gonna start with the one everyone is most familiar with and work our way back to the beginning of this whole sordid affair. ![]() In order to help give this story better context, we first have to provide samples of the three songs at the center of the story. The fight for proper songwriting credit (and royalties) for "The Lion Sleeps Tonight" has taken some weird turns along the way, including bad contracts, international copyright laws, greedy music executives, political witch hunts, and of course, Disney had to get tangled up in this mess as well. It turns out that even the original recording of "The Lion Sleeps Tonight" is a rip-off of a different song, and the song it’s based on isn’t original either. "The Lion Sleeps Tonight" is one of those songs that we’ve all heard a million times, and it’s been covered so many times that anytime you hear it pop up in a movie or TV show, you probably wouldn’t be able to recall if it’s the same version you heard the last time.

Cast of capricorn one8/22/2023 ![]() So, what with certain extreme ideas circulating right now regarding Covid-19, and the way that the authorities seem to be intent on suppressing such ideas, I decided to check out this fairly late entry in the cycle of paranoid thrillers made throughout the ’70s, films that exist in a world of intense fear and political corruption, a world in which we should most definitely Not believe what we’re being told. Whatever your viewpoint on the issue, it’s a particularly interesting conspiracy theory for those such as Yours Truly who are also fascinated by space and space exploration. These ideas were either debunked or had their inconsistencies explained by experts, and eventually photographic evidence of human visitation came back from probes exploring the Moon’s surface much later, though some of course still persevered with their theories, and still do. Conspiracy theorists claimed that it was all staged and pointed out things like inconsistency of shadows suggesting that artificial lights were used, no stars being seen in space, and the flag placed on the surface fluttering despite there being no wind on the Moon. And the only verification we have came from a TV camera.”. ![]() Then Whitter vanishes….ĭid we really go to the Moon? The question was on the minds of many when Neil Armstrong took that giant leap for mankind, and then flared up again during the release of this 1978 movie which you can tell was inspired by this issue even if you haven’t read writer/director Peter Hyams’s words on the subject such as, “ There was one event of really enormous importance that had almost no witnesses. However, technician Elliot Whitter sees that something is up and alerts a TV journalist friend, Robert Caulfield. The plan is to fake the Mars landing and keep the astronauts at a remote base until the mission is over, and the astronauts are forced to cooperate with threat of their families’ lives held over them. However, seconds before the launch, the three are pulled from the capsule and the rocket leaves earth unmanned, while NASA official James Kelloway tells them that a faulty life-support system would have killed them in-flight and that NASA can’t afford the publicity of a scratched mission. Starring: Brenda Vaccaro, Elliott Gould, James Brolin, Sam WaterstonĬharles Brubaker, Peter Wallis and John Walker comprise NASA’s first manned mission to Mars. |
