By Stephen Fry
William Morrow, $34.99
314 pages
In 1831, French politician and thinker Alexis de Tocqueville visited the still growing United States, traveled widely and took copious notes. He assembled those notes in two volumes, published five years apart, titled "Democracy in America," that are still studied and quoted today. The title "Stephen Fry in America" echoes de Tocqueville's classic, but also puts the reader on notice that the ambition here is scaled back. This isn't an attempt to understand America, Mr. Fry says, as much as to experience it. And it's supposed to be as much a window into the author as subject.
Mr. Fry receives glancing recognition in the United States, but he's huge on the other side of the pond because he's so very British. He's an actor, writer, talking head, director and quiz-show host. He played Jeeves in "Jeeves and Wooster," Oscar Wilde in "Wilde" (like Wilde, Mr. Fry is gay and served time in prison, though in Mr. Fry's case for the theft of a credit card), and adapted Evelyn Waugh's novel "Vile Bodies" to film (as "Bright Young Things").
He created and co-starred in the sketch comedy "A Bit of Fry and Laurie" (with current "House M.D." star Hugh Laurie). He was a columnist for the Daily Telegraph, a novelist of some distinction and has written nonfiction books on his early, troubled life, on how to write poetry, and about endangered species. He hosts the popular comedy quiz show "QI" and regularly makes documentary miniseries for the BBC.
"Stephen Fry in America" is an outgrowth of a six-part BBC miniseries of the same name, and organization of the book is closely related to the show. Through nine months of filming, on and off, he at least sets foot in all 50 states, and often navigates American waters. He works a lobster boat off Eastport, Maine; sails off Newport, R.I. in an America's Cup winning vessel; canoes the Mississippi River; tours a nuclear submarine in Connecticut; ferries across Lake Champlain to New York; and swims with dolphins off Florida.
He also descends into a West Virginia coal mine, ascends in a hot-air balloon over North Carolina, goes hunting with plaid-wearing weekend warriors in upstate New York, canvasses New Hampshire with presidential hopeful Mitt Romney and does turning doughnuts on a Texas beach in his trademark London big black cab.
Mr. Fry confesses in the introduction that he undertook the project for a personal reason. "I was so nearly American. I was that close," he writes. His father, a scientist, had been offered a job at Princeton and turned it down. "One of the reasons he turned it down," Mr. Fry explains, "is that he didn't think he liked the idea of his children growing up American."
Stephen learned this when he was 10 and immediately created an alter ego named Steve. The miniseries and now the book were ways of exploring that alternate reality. What would Steve have been like? What might he have enjoyed about this great sprawling country? Fortunately, he doesn't lean on that doppelganger device too hard. It could get annoying.
This reviewer's favorite bit comes from Mr. Fry's visit to Ukiah, Calif., for the comic cultural contrasts. Mr. Fry is scheduled to fire handguns for the first time. At the police shooting range, Mr. Fry tells the patient sheriff that the town's name is haiku spelled backwards, badly bungles a witticism ("Just as well you aren't called Traf." "How's that?" "Oh never mind."), and lets the officer instruct him how to fire a Glock pistol. He takes aim, manages to hit the target on his first try, and is instantly though briefly "transformed from Stephen Tut-Tut, the wise and sensible anti-firearms abolitionist into Stephen Blam-Blam."
The sheriff then asks him, "Now that you can handle firearms, how'd you like to take part in a drug bust?" and isn't joking. We see a picture of Mr. Fry with a Kevlar vest strapped to him and scenes from the drug bust as proof of this.
Mr. Fry finds something nice to say about nearly every state that he visits, except for New Jersey. His visit to Atlantic City turns into an extended rant against Donald Trump and his Taj Mahal casino. ("There is nothing here that I would not be ashamed to be seen owning.") He visits all the states but only technically. Mr. Fry drives through Delaware and only briefly stops at the Montana state line, on the Continental Divide, and on the border with Idaho.
His specific observations are often dead-on but when he slips into generalizations, especially those involving American history, things can get ugly. He calls the shootings by the National Guard at Kent State during 1970 anti-war protests, which left four students dead, one paralyzed, and eight seriously injured, "Perhaps the most shameful and shocking example to date of ruthless state power perpetuated in America against its own citizens." Perhaps an editor should have asked Mr. Fry to consider the fiery FBI-Branch Davidian showdown in Waco, Texas.
This book has some good, short writing and some truly wonderful pictures. That makes it a great coffee table book or a supplement to the BBC series. But it's perhaps not the ideal introduction to Stephen Fry for the uninitiated.

Barry Lopez ~ Premier Nature Writer ~ September 10th 2015
The Avian Conservation Center/Center for Birds of Prey is honored to host the nation's premier natural history writer, Barry Lopez, for the author's first visit to Charleston. Readers of Barry Lopez praise his unparalleled insight into the natural world and all its residents, expressed in a tone of spellbinding intimacy
Barry Lopez is best known as the author of Arctic Dreams, for which he received the National Book Award. Among his other nonfiction books are About This Life and Of Wolves and Men, which was a National Book Award finalist. He is also the author of several award-winning works of fiction, including Field Notes, Winter Count, and a novella-length fable, Crow and Weasel. All of his works reflect a life of travel and cultural inquiry that has taken him to nearly seventy countries. Barry Lopez has, in his own words, "an unquenchable desire to immerse myself in landscapes still owned by their resident animals."
Robert Mcfarlane of the San Francisco Guardian says of Lopez' work, it's "as though Lopez has gripped you by the shoulder and pressed binoculars to your eyes." He speaks on the topics of stewardship, philosophy, and morality as they pertain to nature and humanity. Mcfarlane describes Lopez' viewpoint eloquently saying, "the stern curve of a mountain slope, a nest of wet stones on a beach, the bent trunk of a wind-blown tree: these abstract shapes can call out in us a goodness we might not have known we possessed."
The program will run from 7:00 p.m. to 10:00 p.m. on Thursday, September 10, 2015 at the Charleston Museum located at 360 Meeting Street and includes the presentation and a reception and book signing with the author. Admission is $20 per person, $10 for students with a valid ID. Space is limited and advanced ticket purchase is recommended. Reservations can be made at this link online or by calling 843.971.7474
Volunteers are needed to help with Monarch Butterfly Research along the SC Coast!
There is a research project on wintering monarchs developing and your volunteer assistance is needed to make it happen!! The project will require volunteer citizen scientists who can help with tagging monarchs (and/or recovery of tagged monarchs) and will be accomplished through cooperation between the US Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS) and Billy McCord with the South Carolina Department of Natural Resources (SCDNR).
Wintering behavior by monarchs likely occurs all along the southern section of the SC coast, beginning around McClellanville. Coastal communities typically provide enough trees and cover for the monarchs to use them during the cooler months as protected roosting sites when weather is not appropriate for butterfly activity.
McCord needs several volunteers to help tag (and find recovery tagged monarchs) at sites along the central SC coast. McCord is hopeful to have as many as 16 tagging sites established for this study. This means there is a call for volunteers to work as teams or individually – from as far south as Edisto Beach to as far north as McClellanville. Other sites within the study area could include Kiawah, Seabrook Island, Sullivan's Island and Isle of Palms. The hope is that volunteers live at, or very near, these sites. This is also a perfect combination of an experience that will count towards advanced training hours (initially) and then volunteer hours!! Win-win!!
Tagging may begin as early as the second half of November and extend though the spring. McCord will arrange at least one training session towards the end of October or early November on how to properly handle and tag monarchs. The project will also supply tags, tagging platforms, glassine envelopes in which to stash monarchs before tagging, and butterfly nets.
Please email Billy McCord at firstname.lastname@example.com for more information. Also, please do not hesitate to share this information with anyone who lives in these areas that you think might be interested in helping with this very important research project!

Please report your volunteer hours by July 1st !
The purpose of the volunteer service requirement of the SC Master Naturalist Program is to provide a service to the community or state with regard to natural resources; to help the volunteer gain knowledge and experience; and to support the work of the State Office, partner agencies and Host Sites through volunteerism.
Master Naturalist volunteer service hours are very important to the SC Master Naturalist program and its many affiliated organizations. The educational service you provide to the visitors to our parks and the environmental service projects in which you participate demonstrate your value and the value of the SC Master Naturalist Program to the state of South Carolina.
Please help keep our partners and Clemson university administration aware of the benefit that you provide. Report your volunteer service and advanced training hours in the SC Master Naturalist Online Volunteer Hour Reporting System. At the end of June each year, I generate a report of your hours from July 1 through June 30 which I then report through a system just like the Master Naturalist reporting system. Your volunteer service hours are multiplied by a dollar value published by the Independent Sector, a coalition of charities, foundations, corporations, and individuals that publishes research important to the nonprofit sector. The current hourly value of your volunteer service in South Carolina is $20.56.
The other reason to update your hours is to qualify for the amethyst that goes in your name tag for yearly service (January to December) in the SC Master Naturalist Program. Jewels are presented by the local associations or host sites. In order to receive your amethyst, your 30 hours per year must be reported in the online system.
Most Master Naturalists should have received a username and password to access the online reporting system. If you need your username or if you need your password reset please contact me at email@example.com. The username and temporary password can only be assigned by me.
The reporting system can be found at http://cufan.clemson.edu/masternaturalist/
Please report your hours for July 1, 2014 through June 30, 2015 by July 1, 2015.
Thank you for your service to SC.

Very solid nerf bars. Look good, seem to be well built. Only reason for less than five stars is that at least one side was previously drilled on top for different step-plate locations, then attempted to repair those holes. The texture and repair were quite different than the normal finish (mine are textured black aluminum). Doesn't look as professional as I feel it should. A little attention to detail would have changed my review. For the money, good product thus far.

The next time you see a car on the road with a college bumper sticker or license plate holder, you may want to give that driver considerable space. A recent study on college students who drink and drive has proven to be extremely sobering.
Catholic Online (www.catholic.org)
6/3/2010 (5 years ago)
Published in College & University
LOS ANGELES, CA (Catholic Online) - The University of Maryland's School of Public Health studied more than 1,200 students over four years. Researchers looked at instances of riding with a driver under the influence, driving after drinking alcohol and driving while intoxicated. All of these behaviors were found to be common.
"In the preceding year, nearly half of underage students with access to a car drove after having anything to drink and one in five drove while intoxicated," University of Maryland Center on Young Adult Health and Development Director Amelia M. Arria says.
"For instance, at 20 years of age, eight percent drove after drinking any alcohol, and 20 percent drove while intoxicated. Moreover, among all 20-year-olds -- regardless of car access -- 43 percent rode with an intoxicated driver." Males were more likely to engage in these behaviors than females.
"There were noticeable increases in all three measures of alcohol-related traffic risk . when students reached the legal drinking age of 21," Arria says.
"Our findings call into question the assertions of some advocates who claim that lowering the drinking age to 18 would be a useful strategy for reducing harm associated with alcohol consumption. The present findings are consistent with numerous prior studies showing that increased availability of alcohol is associated with a greater level of problems especially underage drinking-and-driving fatal crashes."
Arria says the study strengthen the argument to keep the drinking age at 21, and that lowering the drinking age would create a ripe environment for additional alcohol-related traffic incidences.

Crunching the Disney-Star Wars numbers: Disney's (DIS -1.6%) purchase of Lucasfilm wasn't cheap,...
Crunching the Disney-Star Wars numbers: Disney's (DIS -1.6%) purchase of Lucasfilm wasn't cheap, but it could also pay for itself quicker than early estimates. The last three Star Wars movies brought home $2.5B - a mark which seems easily attainable by the upcoming three with higher ticket prices, IMAX, 3-D, and the Disney marketing machine all working in the favor of a revenue bonanza. Also in the mix: 1) Stand-alone Star Wars movies. 2) Live-action TV series. 3) Gaming revenue opportunities. 4) New initiatives tied to Star Wars branching out to Disney theme parks and merchandising.

Fantastice Cooktop
By Happy with my cooktop
from Sebring, FL
Comments about Whirlpool 30.8125" Electric Cooktop - Black:
Installed this cooktop a few weeks ago when we were remodeling our kitchen. It is excellent. So pleased with the way it cooks and very easy to wipe clean.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Elegant addition to Kitchen
By thedecoratingdog
from West Linn, Or
I love this wonderful look in the room. Easy to clean. I only wish the controls were a little brighter.
Disappointed in Whirlpool Gold 36
By Ron
from Odessa, Texas
After installing in our remodeled kitchen, we wanted the best our money could buy. We replaced a perfectly good "other" brand cooktop that was used for 20 + years. This whirl pool range top was first, hard to regulate temp with lights that were hard to see and had to resequence the steps just to change temperature settings. This appliance was bought in April 2013 for a large sum of money and now it doesn't work. I feel like I've been betrayed.
Bottom Line No, I would not recommend this to a friend

Great Cooktop
By piercka1
from Sparta, NJ
We bought this cooktop back in the spring. We have been using it for almost 4 months now and we love it. It is very easy to clean when you have spills and it heats up quickly. I love the lock out button that prevents children from being able to cut the stove on. I also love that the controls are in the front so you do not have to stretch to reach them. My favorite is the dual burner that you can heat large pots on. I love this stove and highly recommend it.
Easy cleanup
By Sherry
from Oklahoma
Nice cooktop! I was used to cooking on a gas cooktop, so I had to learn to be patient with it because of the difference. The cleanup is so much easier than a cooktop with knobs and grates.
Maximizes the cooking space
By John and Cathleen
from Columbia, SC
This was installed with our new counter tops. Having the 5th cooking eye has helped manage Sunday dinners. The best feature is the warming zone, as there is always a dish the finishes earlier than the rest.
By Kati
from Ne
This is a nice sleek looking cooktop. The only issue I'm having with it is it looks like it's peeling under the glass.
Whirlpool Gold 30-inch cooktop review
By Andrew
from South Lyon, MI
This cooktop was installed in the house that we built. After using the cooktop for a month I am already thinking about replacing it. The large burners are located in the back and those are the ones you use the most. To change the temperature you have to hit "select" and then the number (1-10) that you want. You have to do this every time even when you are using one burner. Also, it is very difficult to tell what temperature setting you have the burner on. There are 10 tiny lights that are difficult to see. It does seem to take a while to warm up as well
Great Cooktop!!!
By Pat
from Burleson, TX
After using this cooktop for four months I still love it. I've not found anything I would change. For years I used a has cooktop and was sold on how fast you could get a meal prepared and never wanted to go back to electric. I've now changed my mind. Technology has come a long way and it just as quick and much easier to clean.

PawNation explains that many things lead to friction between zebra finches, such as personal space, nests, perches and overcrowding. Generally speaking, a single pair of zebra finches will not fight, but squabbles do happen.Know More
According to PawNation, keeping the wrong number of zebra finches in the same cage is a leading cause of bickering between birds. While a single pair will generally live in harmony in a large enough cage, having two pairs leads to battles over their resources. The Finch Information Center states that adding a third pair ends the fighting. Because of the pressure to be the dominant pair, pairs will also fight among themselves to relieve stress.
PawNation also states that a single pair should have an aviary at least 24 inches long, 18 inches high and 18 inches wide. A cage containing three pairs should be 60 inches long, 20 inches high and 20 inches wide at a minimum. Lack of space is another leading cause of fights between zebra finches.
Nests and perches also trigger territorial behavior, according to PawNation. A mixed pair of finches will sometimes argue about which nest they should choose to lay their eggs in. Removing the nests is best unless the finches are supposed to breed. To avoid fights over perches, several of them should be placed at different levels in the cage.Learn more about Birds

This is one of the best foundations that I've used. (I'm not sure if they still sell it or not.) I've used it in different colors. The shade I have left right now is Warm Ivory, which is dark for me.) I haven't had an issue with blending, and this looks good in pictures.
Update: Grr! I eventually got my perfect color for this, it photographed beautifully, had perfect amount of coverage and had a great finish. Why did they stop making it?!

Multiple SA's have warned me about blendability. Here's what I've learned, after using for 2+ years and based on their guidance.
1-wet a makeup sponge, then put a pump on the sponge to blend. Took me a few tries to get this right, but it does work well . This was recommended by 2 SA's at 2 different stores.
2-foundation brush, applied using to one section of the face a a time.
More coverage than the LM TM, I'd call this medium coverage, although its pretty build -able. I prefer lighter coverage so tend to use this for 'occaisions' and not every day. I also use when I'm getting over a breakout and have more red spots that I want covered.
As with the LM TM, my main complaint is the color. The color looks great when I apply but within a few hours it has oxidized(?) and my face is a darker orange-ish color. I have not figured out a way around this and the SA's haven't been much help. Aside from that, a solid oil-free foundation that doesn't break me out

The color match was really nice, so I paid up for this after the saleslady put it on for me. I don't usually pay this much for foundation, either--I usually buy Clinique, which is much cheaper. I'm really disappointed that I bought this, because when applying it myself at home I just couldn't blend it in very well. I tried my fingers, a sponge, etc., but it just looked watery and streaky. Disappointed and will not rebuy.

I used the color golden beige for my olive/tan complexion. At 1st I thought that the color would be a fairer for me from just looking at it. But when I applied it on my face it blended very well matching my skintone. It is a medium coverage, but still even out my uneven skintone. It feels light on the skin so I feel comfortable wearing it. It also doesn't make me look shiny for quite a while, I'd say around 4-5 hours before I have to blotted my skin which is good for me since my skin is very oily with the hot humid weather here. I used it with the Laura Mercier foundation primer.

It might be because I am applying it wrong, but this foundation is IMPOSSIBLE to blend. I've tried using it with all types of brushes and even my fingers, over primers and no primer, and at the end of the day it looks like i didn't blend it well enough.. It gives this like.. dry flaky blotchy skin around my cheeks, mouth and eyebrows. The colour is perfect for me and I was so excited to use this but I guess its just not for me.

Looks decent when I first apply it but then after a little while I would notice that it didn't look too blended right above my jaw line and if I looked closely at it I saw some uneveness on my skin at the jaw line with some white-ish blotches. I applied it on a cleansed face with moisturizer and a good primer and applied it first with a dense brush then the next day with just my fingers and still got the same results. Also, didn't give me enough coverage even though it says you can built it up to full coverage. It's just too sheer to cover up redness and uneveness. I'm taking it back to Sephora today to try the Makeup Forever Mat Velvet Plus which I was initially going to buy. I hope I have better luck with that one

This is full coverage foundation. Hides all the pigmentation.
However, it is pretty hard to apply this foundation and it is too drying, too matte for my skin.
It is also expensive ($42). My face felt like I have a mask on - its just too thick.
Also, after few hours it was little bit seperated on my skin and you could definately tell it's not a natural looking makeup.

I've gone from having extremely oily skin to having very dry skin, thanks to the Accutane treatment I'm currently undergoing.
When I tried this foundation, it didn't accentuate my dry patches as much as my previous foundation (MAC ProLong Wear). And what I especially loved about this LM foundation is that it looked more natural than any other foundation I've EVER tried. But that being said, the coverage is minimal. It didn't cover my acne scarring, even after stippling a few layers. What's worse, it didn't do much for the redness on my cheeks. This foundation would be amazing for someone with very little to cover, but I suppose most of us wear foundation in the first place because we have something to cover.
So just to wrap up
very natural-looking, even after applying many layers
felt like I was wearing no makeup
good color match
nice packaging
didn't accentuate dry patches
too sheer to cover redness or acne scarring

Way overpriced for how mediocre it actually is. It dries very quickly and is hard to blend. The color match is off. I have pale skin and the lightest shade was too dark and "rosey". Offers okay coverage, I wouldn't say full. I bought this without reading reviews hoping it would be good but it just did not live up to my expectations. Will not repurchase.

Overall, it's a solid foundation. It overs a good, full coverage and has good staying power. It's oil free formula attracted me because I'm acne prone, and as far as I can remember it didn't contribute to any breakouts. However, if you have combination skin like me and have areas that get dry it may not be a good fit. It's not moisturizing at all and really exaggerates dryness.
It's definitely on the pricey side, but I do think it is a pretty solid product if you have oily skin and are looking for a fuller coverage liquid foundation. It was a little too heavy for me, personally. But it may appeal to those who favor heavier coverage.

Akkineni Nageswara Rao (20 September 1923 – 22 January 2014) was an Indian film actor and producer, known for his work predominantly in Telugu cinema. He starred in various film genres during his 75-year acting career. Akkineni acted in over 255 films, spanning Telugu, Tamil and Hindi languages and became one of the most prominent figures in the history of Telugu cinema.[1][2]
He was the instrumental figure in moving the Telugu Cinema industry from Madras to Hyderabad . He shifted his residence from Madras to Hyderabad and urged his producers to shoot his films in Hyderabad back in 1963. .[3] With an aim to provide infrastructural support to the film industry in Hyderabad, he built a film studio, Annapurna Studios, in 1975. He also started a film and media school, Annapurna International School of Film and Media within Annapurna Studios in 2011.[4]
Nageswara Rao received four state Nandi Awards, and five Filmfare Awards South. He is a recipient of the Dada Saheb Phalke Award, the highest honorary award for achievement in India cinema. He was also honored with the Padma Vibhushan, India's second highest civilian award, for his contribution towards Indian cinema.[5][6][7][8]
Film career[edit]
In 1941, at the age of 17, Nageswara Rao made his debut in the Telugu film, Dharmapatni, in which he played the role of the protagonist's friend.[9] ANR, as he's referred to, was discovered by chance at the Vijayawada railway station by the film producer, Ghantasala Balaramaiah, and was offered the lead role of Lord Rama in his upcoming movie Seeta Rama Jananam.[9] Before that, he predominantly acted in theatre, many times donning female roles since women weren't allowed on stage at that time.[9][10] He acted in over 255 films, spanning the Telugu, Tamil and Hindi languages and became one of the most prominent figures in the history of Telugu cinema.[1] A majority of his films were both commercial and critical successes.[11]
Despite being an atheist, Rao acted in various movies with strong religious themes such as Vipranarayana,Tukaram, Sriramadasu, Sriramarajyam etc.[5][6][7][8]
Prominent films[edit]
Rao played a variety of roles ranging from a charming prince to a frustrated alcoholic lover, from a valiant soldier to a holy saint, and from a college student to a composed government official. He played mythological roles including Abhimanyu in Maya Bazaar, as Lord Vishnu in Chenchu Lakshmi; as Narada in Bhookailash; and Arjuna in Sri Krishnarjuna Yuddham. He rural oriented films included Balaraju, Rojulu Maraayi, and Namminabantu. His comedy films include Missamma, Chakrapani, and Preminchi Choodu. Rao's performances include several tragic romantic dramas such as Laila Majnu, Anarkali (1955 film), Batasari, Devadasu, Prem Nagar (1971 film), Premabhishekam (1981 film), and Meghasandesham.
His own production Premabhishekam was directed by Dasari Narayana Rao.
Rao's roles include portrayal of an alcoholic lover in Devadasu. Rao's social films include Samsaram, Bratuku Teruvu, Aradhana, Donga Ramudu, Dr. Chakravarthi, Ardhaangi, Mangalya Balam, Illarikam, Shantinivasam, Velugu Needalu, Dasara Bullodu, Bharya Bhartalu, Dharmadata, Batasari, and College Bullodu. Sitaramayyagari Manavaralu was released in 1991.
He played the role of the Sanskrit poet, Mahakavi Kalidas of Ujjain; the musician saint, Bhakta Jayadeva of Odisha, the temple sculptor, Amarasilpi Jakkanna of Karnataka; the saint, Vipranarayana of Tamil Nadu; and the singer Bhakta Tukaram. Manam was Rao's last film which also included his son, Nagarjuna, and grandsons, Naga Chaitanya and Akhil.
On 19 October 2013 Rao announced that he was diagnosed with colon cancer..[12] He shot his final film Manam, two weeks after a major laproscopic surgery.[13] He attended the foundation day celebrations of Annapurna Studios on January 14, 2014.
Rao died in his sleep on 22 January 2014 due to cardiac arrest.[14]
He was cremated on the 23rd of January 2014, at Annapurna Studios with full state honours amid a 21-gun salute. Thousands of fans, friends and relatives were present to pay their last respects.[15][16] [16]
Literary works- Apart from being a movie star, ANR was a prolific writer. Some of his books are his autobiographical work, Nenu Na Jeevitham, the memoirs of his first visit to the USA, Nenu Choosina America, and the expression of his thoughts in his book, A Aalu.
ANR was a faithful humanist. Pointing toward the sky, he had once said, "If there's a presence there, I'm sure he'll want us to perform our earthly duties well and be a good human being rather than blindly worship him".[17]
At the pinnacle of his career, he had set up the Akkineni Janmabhoomi trust in order to foster development in his home town, Ramapuram. He strove hard to realise it under the Janmabhoomi programme during the TDP regime. He used his good offices with then Chief Minister N. Chandrababu Naidu and got Rs 8 crore sanctioned from the National Bank for Rural Development and Agriculture (NABARD) for its construction. This bridge, named Akkineni Varadhi (Akkineni bridge), had given a boost to the economy by facilitating easy connectivity to neighbouring towns and villages. In Ramapuram, even safe drinking water was something which was unheard of until Akkineni contributed to the construction of a water tank.[18]
He had instituted the Akkineni International Foundation in 2005 to honour those who had made an immense contribution to the Film Industry.[19] The Annapurna International School of Film and Media, that was founded by the Akkineni family in 2011, was set up as a non-profit entity. Rao has been generous towards educational institutions since the beginning of his career. Even though he didn't have the opportunity to go to school or college, he understood the importance of education. He wanted to create opportunities for any one who needed support for educational pursuits. He created scholarships in various state universities such as GITAM University(Vizag).[20] He was the Chief Donor and President of the College at Gudivada, which was subsequently named after him as Akkineni Nageswara Rao College.[21] Apart from being a Life Member of the Senate of Andhra University, he was also Adviser to its Department of Dramatics and Theatre Arts. He had instituted Gold Medals in Acting and Direction for the Best Student Artists of the department.[22] In 2012, he had instituted the Akkineni Annapurna Educational Trust in memory of his wife Annapurna.[23]

Put this amazing baseball card display piece on your wall and wait for the jaws to drop! Offered is a rare 110- card uncut sheet of 1956 Topps Baseball cards. This is a full production sheet of 100 different subjects plus 10 double printed players, the very same cards that were meant to be cut into single cards and placed into wax packs. Luckily for the collecting hobby, this sheet was spared the Topps guillotine. If just the fact this is an uncut sheet isn't enough, there is a stellar line up of HoFers including Ted Williams, Jackie Robinson, Walt Alston, Warren Giles and William Harridge (twice), Warren Spahn, Ernie Banks, Al Kaline, plus second-year cards of Hank Aaron (twice!), Roberto Clemente and Sandy Koufax. There are also seven "name at left" team card variations. This sheet measures 26-3/4"x42" and is in optimal condition. Bright and clean overall, hues have remained bold and vibrant culminating in a stunning overall near-mint appearance. There is some corner wear, but this has no impact on the extremely impressive display. The sheet is perfectly flat and the reverse of the sheet is fully printed and as clean as the front. An ideal piece to display in your den or man-cave where sports and sports collectibles are the main topics of conversation. The crowning touch to any 1950's collection.
