Roberto Longhi | Short description | Roberto Longhi (28 December 1890 – 3 June 1970) was an Italian academic, art historian, and curator. The main subjects of his studies were the painters Caravaggio and Piero della Francesca.Longhi, Roberto Dictionary of Art Historians |
Roberto Longhi | Early life and career | Early life and career
Longhi was born in December 1890 in Alba, Piedmont to parents from Emilia. He studied with Pietro Toesca, in Turin, and Adolfo Venturi in Rome. The latter made him book reviews editor of the journal L'Arte in 1914. Between 1912 and 1917, Longhi, primarily an essayist, published texts in L'Arte and La Voce on Mattia Preti, Piero della Francesca, Orazio Borgianni and Orazio Gentileschi. His writings in L'Arte were academic whereas his writings in La Voce were very radical.
Over the course of his career Longhi developed a fascination with Caravaggio and his followers. his book Quesiti caravaggeschi [Questions on Caravaggio] (1928–34), was followed by Ultimi studi caravaggeschi [Latest Caravaggio studies] (1943). In 1951, Longhi curated a ground-breaking exhibition on Caravaggio at the Royal Palace in Milan, Mostra di Caravaggio e dei Caravaggeschi. In 1968 he authored a monograph on the artist.
Whilst establishing himself as a notable Caravaggio scholar, Longhi retained a lively interest in Piero della Francesca, editing a monograph in 1928, representing him as the leading painter of the Quattrocento. Longhi believed Piero della Francesca played a decisive role in the development of Venetian painting. This monograph, which Kenneth Clark opined could hardly be improved upon, established itself as a classic of art-historical literature.
Between 1920 and 1922, Longhi made a Grand Tour of Europe. He never visited Russia, nor some American collections, like the Kress Collection of the National Gallery, Washington. However, his first-hand viewing of many works, like those in the Borghese Gallery in Rome, led to the rediscovery of many lost masterpieces such as two panels of a Giotto altarpiece.
Longhi also rekindled interest in a large number of followers of Caravaggio, such as Hendrick ter Brugghen (he edited a monograph in 1927) and some painters from Ferrara. His book Officina Ferrarese (1934) still stands as an exemplary study. Along with the publication of the Officina, Longhi started his academic career, first as Professor at Bologna University (from 1935), and later in Florence. |

During the Second World War, Longhi advised Eugenio Ventura, a dealer in Florence, who was investigated for his involvement in an exchange of pictures confiscated by the Nazi looting organisation known as the ERR or Reichsleiter Rosenberg Taskforce. He also advised Count Alessandro Contini-Bonacossi (1878–1955) until 1945. |
Roberto Longhi | Postwar | Postwar
In 1950, Longhi co-founded and edited with his wife Anna Banti Paragone, a bi-monthly magazine on art and literature still running to this day.
Longhi also curated a number of exhibitions, including Mostra della pittura bolognese del Trecento (Pinacoteca Nazionale, Bologna, 1948); I pittori della realtà in Lombardia (Royal Palace, Milan, 1953); and Arte lombarda dai Visconti agli Sforza (Royal Palace, Milan, 1958).

Dunwoody High School | Short description | Dunwoody High School is a public high school in Dunwoody, an incorporated city in DeKalb County, Georgia, United States.
Dunwoody enrolls students in grades 9-12, and is operated by the DeKalb County School System. It follows a four by four block schedule, in which students attend four classes every day for 90 minutes.
In 1988, Dunwoody merged with another local high school, Peachtree High School. Peachtree became a middle school and Dunwoody remained the high school. Dunwoody's previous colors were crimson and gold, and their mascot was the Wildcat. Peachtree's colors were red, white, and blue, and their mascot was the Patriot. As part of a compromise between the two schools during the merger, Dunwoody agreed to change its colors to red, white, and blue, while keeping its wildcat mascot. Prior to the merger, Dunwoody High School had an eighth grade, which is now part of Peachtree Middle School. |

Reggae Reggae Sauce | Short description | thumb|150px| 2011 Levi Roots Reggae Reggae Sauce bottle
Reggae Reggae Sauce is a barbecue sauce that incorporates Jamaican jerk spice, popularised by creator Levi Roots's appearance on BBC Two's Dragons' Den, on which he used a song to sell his product.
Dragons' Den investor Peter Jones has since classified the product as one of his most successful investments from the show. He also used his contacts to introduce Roots and his products to buyers. |

On 7 February 2007, Roots appeared on Dragons' Den and convinced Peter Jones and Richard Farleigh to invest £50,000 in return for 40% of his company.How successful was Levi Roots after Dragons Den Food Hygiene Online The sauce gained fame as a result of his memorable television appearance and on 9 February 2007, Sainsbury's were confirmed to be interested in stocking it. On 7 March 2007, the sauce went on sale nationwide.
Roots released an accompanying single of his "Reggae Reggae Sauce Song" which he sang whilst pitching his product on Dragons' Den, and also on Harry Hill's TV Burp. The song was released as a download with proceeds going to Comic Relief. In September 2008, Reggae Reggae Sauce was voted as a CoolBrand by a panel of experts and the British public. |
Reggae Reggae Sauce | Legal dispute over the product's origins | Legal dispute over the product's origins
The origin of the recipe is disputed by Tony Bailey, who runs a West Indian takeaway in Brixton, South London. In 2010, Bailey filed a preliminary claim in the High Court for more than £300,000 claiming that, as the inventor of the sauce, he was entitled to a share of profits. Roots ran a jerk chicken stall at the Notting Hill Carnival for 15 years with Bailey. Roots gave evidence to the High Court and admitted that previous claims made by him on Dragons Den and in marketing for his product, including the claim that the recipe was his grandmother's, were untrue.
Judge Mark Pelling QC dismissed Bailey's claims for breach of contract and breach of confidence. He told the court: "This was a dishonest claim, dishonestly advanced." No evidence had been offered to support Bailey's claim that he was the original inventor of the sauce. Lawyers said they estimated the legal battle had cost more than £1m in total and the judge said Roots was entitled to have his costs paid. |
Reggae Reggae Sauce | Production and expansion | Production and expansion
Reggae Reggae Sauce is manufactured by AB World Foods, a division of Associated British Foods.
Despite Roots saying he wanted production of his sauce to continue in the UK, production moved from Wales to Poland in March 2007.
Initially the sauce was carried exclusively in Sainsbury's supermarkets but now many supermarkets in the UK and Ireland stock the sauce. A follow-up episode of Dragons' Den, aired on 18 July 2007, revealed that Sainsbury's had expected the sauce to sell 50,000 bottles in its first year but instead sold 40,000-50,000 bottles per week.
In the first half of 2008, Roots launched "Love Apple Tomato Sauce" and "Fiery Guava Dipping Sauce" in the same style as Reggae Reggae sauce. A cookbook called Reggae Reggae Cookbook was released in June 2008. The "Love Apple Tomato Sauce" was later renamed "Reggae Reggae Tomato Ketchup".
Restaurants Subway,Subway adds Reggae Reggae-branded spicy sub Brand Republic Hungry Horse and pub chains Slug and Lettuce and Scream offer the sauce on various menu items. In July 2009, Birds Eye released chicken Chargrills in Reggae Reggae Sauce.
In the summer of 2010, snacks were added to the range of products with the launch of Reggae Reggae Peanuts and Cashews. These peanuts are covered in the original Reggae Reggae Sauce and seasonings. Subsequently a range of Reggae Reggae flavoured Caribbean ready meals was launched.Levi Launches Chilled Caribbean Meals Range Reggae Reggae

I Epomeni Kinisi | More citations needed | I Epomeni Kinisi (; ) is a Greek album by singer Anna Vissi released in Greece and Cyprus in 1986 by CBS Greece. This album is all written by Nikos Karvelas. In spite of her previous albums, it featured a clear pop sound, very distinctive of Vissi's next albums. The album reached platinum status and was one of the best-selling albums of 1987 in Greece. |
I Epomeni Kinisi | Album information | Album information
As the two number-one singles off the album Kati Simveni were written by Nikos Karvelas, the suggestion for the next album to be written and produced entirely by Karvelas was unanimously accepted by Vissi's label executives. The result was a pop album of 10 songs, a departure from laiko and Greek folk tunes Kati Simveni was influenced from. The result was commercially and critically acclaimed, with sales reaching Platinum status, selling more than 100,000 copies and becoming one of the most commercial Greek albums of 1987.
It is one of the first album titles CBS Greece released on CD in early 1988, including five tracks from "Kati Simveni" as a bonus. In 1992, all tracks from the original album along with Vissi's next album "Tora" were released on CD as a joint package, as their initial CD releases had been out of print at the time.
In 1996, the album was released on CD in a stand-alone edition, only the LP's initial 10 tracks included, as a part of the OK! Budget Price series Sony Music Greece launched at the time.
In 2019, the album was selected for inclusion in the Panik Gold box set The Legendary Recordings 1982-2019. The release came after Panik's acquisition rights of Vissi's back catalogue from her previous record company Sony Music Greece. This box set was printed on a limited edition of 500 copies containing CD releases of all of her albums from 1982 to 2019 plus unreleased material. |

Me and the First Lady | Recording and composition | Recording and composition
The duets found on the early albums that Jones and Wynette recorded together feature songs that almost always celebrate the joys of domestic bliss and true love, something producer Billy Sherrill did purposefully to reflect the assumptions of their captivated audience. A good example of this is "The Ceremony", a song Sherrill co-wrote; the song, which mimics a wedding service, begins with a minister's preamble over a church organ and contains verses where George and Tammy renew their vows and profess their love for each other. It became a highlight of their live shows, with Bob Allen wryly noting in his book George Jones: The Saga of an American Singer: "When they sang "The Ceremony" onstage in places like Sioux City and Peoria, they enacted for the benefit of their fans an elaborate wedding ritual which, in reality, was quite unlike the quickie civil ceremony with which they'd actually sealed their nuptial bond." In 1996 Jones admitted in his autobiography, "It sounds cheesy now, but it was a show-stopper for two people whose divorce was often the subject of tabloid speculation. People went crazy when we did 'The Ceremony' live."
As if mirroring their doomed marriage, a couple of the songs on Me and the First Lady hint at the cracks that had already appeared in the relationship of country music's first couple: "A Lovely Place To Cry" (co-written by Wynette with Earl Montgomery) and "The Great Divide" both contemplate fading love and the possibility of divorce. |

Jones biographer Bob Allen has a dim view of the album, comparing the "syrupy" songs to "two-and-a-half-minute-long musical Cliff's Notes to Harlequin novels." |

Non-notable pub. -- RHaworth 22:10, 7 March 2007 (UTC)
Keep. Speaking as a Yank, its age alone (139 years old) makes it notable. Also, it did receive some media coverage in 2002 for a suicide that happened in its bathroom. I've added an external link indicating such, but I'm sure a better one could be found.—Carolfrog 07:14, 11 March 2007 (UTC)
Comment. Speaking as a Brit, 139 years old does not make a pub notable - see Notable British public houses. -- RHaworth 08:04, 14 March 2007 (UTC)
Delete, I don't see an indication of notability. The age isn't relevant, since that doesn't make it one of the oldest pubs in the country, or otherwise add notability on itself. A suicide happening in the place doesn't confer notability to the establishment; the event might make news, but no one would remember the name of the place after seeing/hearing that news, because it's not relevant. A bridge might become famous as a suicide spot, but in this case, there's no indication that the selection of the place wasn't coincidental. - Bobet 12:50, 15 March 2007 (UTC)

Political positions of John Edwards | Short description |
Here are some of Senator John Edwards's votes and remarks on various issues. |
Political positions of John Edwards | Economic policy | Economic policy |
Political positions of John Edwards | End poverty in 30 years | End poverty in 30 years
One of Edwards' main themes as a political figure is the problem of poverty in America. He believes that poverty can be cut by one third by 2016 and eliminated by 2036. He supports adoption of the National Academy of Sciences' recommendations for measuring poverty, which he claims would add one million people to the "poverty" class. His plan involves several tactics, including stronger families; better schools; and the issuance of government-funded housing vouchers. Edwards argues in favor of creating one million housing vouchers over five years to place poor people in middle-class neighborhoods and in areas where jobs are available. He also supports strengthening labor unions and raising the minimum wage to $8.40.A National Goal: End Poverty Within 30 Years JohnEdwards.com Edwards has stated, "If we truly believe that we are all equal, then we should live together too." |
Political positions of John Edwards | College for everyone | College for everyone
Edwards has stated that if people agree to work part-time during their first year at a public-college, the government should pay for their tuition, books and fees.
Edwards has advocated his College for Everyone program based on proposal made in his 2004 campaign and the successful College for Everyone pilot program that Edwards and the Carolina non-profit organization Promise and Opportunity Foundation began at Greene Central High School in Snow Hill, North Carolina, a high school in rural eastern North Carolina with a high percentage of economically disadvantaged students.
Under Edwards' College for Everyone program, the government would help all qualified students pay for college tuition, fees and books for college students who agree to work part-time ten hours a week if they "complete coursework that prepares them for further education, stay out of trouble, and enroll in a participating public university or community college." Funds would be provided for two million students.
Other aspects of the plan include strong preparation in high school, with College for Everyone students being required to complete a college-prep curriculum in high school and Edwards administration "working with school districts to strengthen high school curricula."
The most significant part of the College for Everyone is its proposed overhaul of the student loan program. Edwards has called for an end to large federal subsidies for banks that make student loans, which would free up $6 billion. Instead, subsidies would be replaced with loans directly from the U.S. Department of Education, "receiving loans that have very similar terms but are far less expensive for taxpayers." |
Political positions of John Edwards | Energy independence and stopping global warming | Energy independence and stopping global warming
John Edwards' positions on energy are documented on his 2008 presidential campaign website.Edwards' campaign positions on energy
In March 2007 he was the first presidential candidate to make his campaign "carbon neutral." He started buying carbon offsets to reduce his carbon emissions and having his offices buy recycled paper products.Grist January 30, 2008, Retrieved May 1, 2008, http://www.grist.org/feature/2007/07/31/edwards_factsheet/
One of the main focuses of his campaign was fighting global warming. He has said "Why has America not addressed global warming in a serious way? There's a very simple answer for that. Oil companies, power companies, gas companies and their lobbyists in Washington, D.C."Friends of the Earth September 16, 2007, retrieved May 1, 2008, http://action.foe.org/content.jsp?content_KEY=3354&t=FoE_Action_PAC.dwt He voted against drilling in the Arctic five times, and supports the standard that would require renewable sources to be the source of 10 percent of America's electricity by 2020.
Edwards endorses the widespread goal of 80% reductions of greenhouse gas emissions below 1990 levels by the year 2050. He has denounced the Bush administration for not signing the Kyoto treaty and supports the McCain-Lieberman bill to establish a cap-and-trade system to reduce carbon dioxide emissions.Salon July 20, 2004, retrieved May 1, 2008 This would involve capping emissions, reducing the cap every year, and auctioning off the right to emit a certain quantity of greenhouse gases. He would then use this estimated $10 billion to fund research for alternative energy sources, in an effort to end the United States reliance on imported foreign oil. |
