Murphy Brown is an American television sitcom created by Diane English that premiered on November 14, 1988, on CBS. The series stars Candice Bergen as the eponymous Murphy Brown, a famous investigative journalist and news anchor for FYI, a fictional CBS television newsmagazine, and later for Murphy in the Morning, a cable morning news show.

The series originally ran until May 18, 1998, after airing a total of 247 episodes over ten seasons. In January 2018, it was announced that CBS ordered a 13-episode revival of Murphy Brown, which premiered on September 27, 2018. CBS canceled the revival after one season on May 10, 2019.

Plot

Original run
Murphy Brown (Candice Bergen) is a recovering alcoholic who, in the show's first episode, returns to the fictional newsmagazine FYI for the first time following a stay at the Betty Ford Clinic residential treatment center. Over 40 and single, she is sharp-tongued and hard as nails. In her profession, she is considered one of the boys, having shattered many glass ceilings encountered during her career. Dominating the FYI news magazine, she is portrayed as one of America's hardest-hitting (though not the warmest or most sympathetic) media personalities.

Her colleagues at FYI include stuffy veteran anchor Jim Dial (Charles Kimbrough), who affectionately addresses Murphy as "Slugger" and reminisces about the glory days of Murrow and Cronkite. Murphy's best friend and sometime competitor is investigative reporter Frank Fontana (Joe Regalbuto), the only person who addresses her as "Murph". Though a daredevil reporter, insecurities regarding fame and (especially) his personal relationships have him in psychotherapy for the majority of the series. In early seasons, there was a running gag about Frank's toupée, which he hated, but which producers insisted he wear on the show.

Also present are the two newest members of the FYI team. Miles Silverberg (Grant Shaud), a 25-year-old yuppie Harvard graduate and overachiever fresh from public television, is appointed the new executive producer of FYI during Murphy's stay at Betty Ford. Naive and neurotic despite his lightning intellect, Miles is the perfect foil for Murphy's wit. Shaud left at the end of the eighth season, and his character was replaced during Season 9 by veteran TV producer Kay Carter-Shepley (Lily Tomlin). Kay did not have a background in journalism but instead had made a career as a producer of game shows.

The other new-kid-on-the-block is Corky Sherwood (Faith Ford), who replaced Murphy during her stint in rehab. A former Miss America from the (fictional) town of Neebo, Louisiana, Corky is the bane of the other journalists with her perky, relentlessly sunny personality—and dumbfounding lack of sophistication. Due to overwhelming audience reaction, management decides to retain Corky's services after Murphy's return, usually assigning her to lifestyle pieces or lightweight celebrity profiles. Despite her omnipresent perkiness, Corky does mature and acquires a fair amount of worldliness over the years, not the least of which comes courtesy of her marriage to high school classmate and writer Will Forest (during which she humorously and cluelessly amends her on-air surname to "Corky Sherwood-Forest"), subsequent divorce, and later elopement with Miles, immediately after which the couple has second thoughts — even before consummating the relationship — and decides they should "first" date (despite already being married to one another), eventually separating on good terms.

The FYI team also frequently socializes at Phil's, a bar-and-grill across the street from their office/studio in Washington, D.C. Phil, the bar owner, was played by Pat Corley. Phil's was portrayed as a Washington institution, whose owner knew everything about everybody who had ever been anybody in the capital—ranging from what brand of lingerie J. Edgar Hoover preferred to the identity of Deep Throat (unknown to the public at the time of the series' production). In a running gag during early seasons, whenever someone entered Phil's (casting bright sunlight from the open door into the dark, murky bar), the patrons shouted in unison, "Close the door!"

Brown was unmarried, but had a home life as well: she hired a laid-back, New Age philosophy-dispensing house painter named Eldin Bernecky (Robert Pastorelli) to repaint her house. He had so many grand ideas that he was in her employ for six seasons. Because he was a highly talented artist, his renovations were often delayed when he was struck by the urge to paint socially relevant murals throughout the house.

Revival
Some twenty years later, Murphy has been retired from broadcast journalism for a few years but constantly receives offers to return to the air. Following Donald Trump's election as president of the United States, Brown decides to accept an offer from fictional cable news network CNC to host a new morning news show titled Murphy in the Morning. She brings along her former FYI colleagues including Frank and Corky to co-host the program and Miles to produce it. The crew is joined by newcomer Pat Patel (Nik Dodani), who serves as the show's social media manager. As the program gets closer to air, Brown is startled to learn that her son Avery (Jake McDorman) has been given his own morning news program on Murphy's competitor, conservative cable news network Wolf News, with both of their shows scheduled to air against one another. Meanwhile, Murphy and the gang continue to spend their off-time at the bar and grill "Phil's Bar", now run by Phil's sister Phyllis (Tyne Daly) following Phil's death. Jim Dial, now in his 80s, widowed and retired, comes back on an occasional basis to act as an informal mentor to the Murphy In The Morning gang.

Recurring

Behind the scenes at FYI
 John Hostetter as John, the stage manager at FYI.
 Ritch Brinkley as Carl Wishnitski, a cameraman at FYI who has an ongoing attraction to Murphy.
 Alan Oppenheimer as Gene Kinsella, a news-division executive. Seen as a recurring character in seasons 1–5, Kinsella is generally supportive of and liked by his FYI staff. In-show, the character is let go from his position and replaced with...
 Julius Carry as Mitchell Baldwin, the Machiavellian new boss who replaces Gene Kinsella. Baldwin, a Black man used the team's liberal-Caucasian guilt to railroad through changes in FYIs format and content. Appears in seasons 5 and 6, and in a dream sequence in season 8. Essentially superseded as the network thorn in FYIs side by...
 Garry Marshall as Stan Lansing, the very excitable, aggressive, and micro-managing network president. His frequent and impromptu whims are the bane of the FYI staff. Seen fairly regularly in seasons 6–9, and one final time in season 10.
 Paul Reubens as Andrew J. Lansing III, Stan Lansing's sociopathic nephew. He is introduced as one of Murphy's 93 secretaries du jour and was one of only three who measure up to Murphy's standards. Like the few other secretaries who were actually competent, Andrew is lured away from Murphy by another job by the end of the episode; in his case, he is promoted to a network executive position through nepotism. He periodically appears in later episodes, although his network career is wildly unpredictable, largely due to the mercurial nature of his uncle and mentor—at various times, Andrew is a network VP, an executive producer, and a mailboy. Seen as an occasional character in seasons 7–9.

On camera at FYI
 Christopher Rich as Miller Redfield, an empty-headed, pretty-boy reporter with a local affiliate who had semi-regular appearances on the show. At first, he was a recurring substitute anchor, but after a gap of a few years, he became a regular member of the FYI team —- although the rest of the team frequently (usually unsuccessfully) conspired to get rid of him. Later co-hosted a separate news show with Murphy called Front and Center, produced out of the same office.  Seen once per season in seasons 2–4, he was then seen very frequently in seasons 7–9.
 Wallace Shawn as Stuart Best, a buffoonish former FYI reporter who annoyed Murphy, Jim, and Frank to the point that the three colluded to have him fired —- twice. After the second firing, Stuart returned as a hopelessly inept party-line politician who invariably broke down under even the most sympathetic questions by Murphy while on-air. Appeared once a season in seasons 6–9.
 Scott Bakula as Peter Hunt, a reporter and occasional love interest of Murphy's. Seen in seasons 6 through 8.
 Paula Cale as McGovern, a conservative young reporter based on MTV's Kennedy. She was added to the program when management tried to appeal to a younger demographic. Seen for a run of episodes as a regular towards the end of season 7, the character was then quietly dropped without explanation and never mentioned again.

Family and love interests
 Colleen Dewhurst as Avery Brown, a museum curator and Murphy's opinionated mother. Dewhurst won two Emmy Awards for her appearances, appearing in a total of four episodes in seasons 1–3. When Dewhurst died in 1991, the writers chose to have her character die as well, and dedicated the episode to the memory of Dewhurst. Murphy, who was pregnant at the time of her mother's death, named her son Avery in her mother's memory the following season.
 Darren McGavin as Bill Brown, a newspaper publisher and Murphy's father. Bill shared an adversarial relationship with his ex-wife Avery—especially after marrying Karen, a fresh-faced twenty-something who taught yoga. McGavin appeared in four episodes as Bill Brown (in seasons 2, 4 and 5) and earned an Emmy nomination in 1990 for his performance.
 Jay Thomas as Jerry Gold, an abrasive tabloid talk show host who became a friend of Murphy's and an occasional love interest, despite their significantly different journalistic values. Seen in seasons 2–4; returns in a dream sequence in 8, and in one episode (now about to get married) during season 10.
 Robin Thomas as Jake Lowenstein, an underground leftist radical and Murphy's ex-husband from long before her FYI days. Seen very infrequently, for a total of five episodes in seasons 1, 3, 4 and 8. Murphy and Jake had a brief relationship during season three, which resulted in Jake becoming the father of her child.
 Jane Leeves as Audrey Cohen, Miles' girlfriend, seen occasionally in seasons 2–5. Though she and Miles were headed for marriage, the relationship ended abruptly—offscreen, Leeves joined the cast of Frasier in 1993, and was no longer available to appear on Murphy Brown.
 Janet Carroll (seasons 2–9) and Concetta Tomei (season 10) as Doris Dial, anchorman Jim Dial's equally stoic, but kind-hearted wife.
 Pat Finn as Phil Jr. (ten episodes in Seasons 8 and 9), Phil's son who, though somewhat empty-headed, takes on running Phil's Bar after his father dies.
 Dena Dietrich as Phyllis (two episodes in Season 2 & one episode in Season 9), Phil's wife and mother of their four children: Little Phil, Phillip, Felicia, & Phil Jr.

Behind the scenes at Murphy in the Morning (season 11 only)
 Andre Ward as Julius, the stage manager of Murphy in the Morning.
 Merle Dandridge as Diana Macomber, the head of cable news network CNC, which airs Murphy in the Morning.

Episodes

Production

Early seasons

The first season saw Murphy relearning her job without the use of two crutches—alcohol and cigarettes. In the pilot episode, she complained the only vice she had left herself was chewing yellow number-two pencils. It also set up the series-long running gag of Murphy's battles with the off-beat and sometimes downright bizarre characters who were sent by Personnel to act as her secretary, none of whom ever last for more than an episode, save two; one played by Paul Reubens.

Action was divided between the FYI suite of offices and Murphy's Georgetown townhouse. Reality often blended with fiction with the many cameos of then-current media and political personalities. The most prominent was when Murphy Brown was asked to guest star as herself in the pilot of a sitcom entitled Kelly Green, about a female investigative journalist. Life imitated art when, after a less-than stellar performance, Murphy was berated by television journalist Connie Chung (herself in a Murphy Brown cameo appearance) for crossing the line and compromising her credibility.

Subsequent seasons saw the emergence of story arcs involving network politics with Gene Kinsella, Frank and Murphy's rivalry and Eldin's ongoing infatuation with Corky. A standout event was Miss Sherwood's marriage to Louisiana lawyer Will Forrest. During the brief engagement, a horrified Corky comes to the realization that she will now be "Corky Sherwood-Forrest". In the wedding episode, maid-of-honor Murphy, dressed as an antebellum belle in a hoop-skirted nightmare of a bridemaid's dress, rages her way through the entire affair while thwarting the press's attempts to photograph the nuptials (mirroring the Sean Penn/Madonna wedding a few years earlier).

Later seasons
The fifth season continued after the departure of series creator and showrunner Diane English. Murphy's struggles with parenthood were highlighted, as were the revolving-door of nanny characters mirroring her office tribulations. Corky's marriage unraveled and ended in divorce as she and Will grew apart. (Right before the wedding, Forrest had decided to abandon the practice of law and follow his true calling—creative writing.) This tragedy saw Corky become less the Pollyanna as she began to model herself after role-model Murphy.

The show went on, and FYI featured several changes in on- and off-camera staff: Peter Hunt, McGovern and Miller Redfield temporarily joined the regulars at the anchor desk. The network moved FYI to a new studio with a trendy exterior "Window on America". A significant story arc saw the network squelch an FYI exposé on the tobacco industry, leading to the resignation of first Dial, then the remainder of the cast. They all went to work reorganizing the poorly-performing news division of a fledgling network. In the end, Miles faced down the network; the "suits" relented, the staffers returned and the story aired. For his courage in standing up to the network brass, Miles was promoted to the news division's headquarters in New York—to the detriment of his new marriage to Corky.

As well, after years of working as her housepainter, and later nanny, Eldin (who was seen increasingly infrequently after season 5) left Murphy's employ during season 7 to study painting in Spain. (Actor Robert Pastorelli left Murphy Brown for his own starring vehicle, the sitcom Double Rush, which lasted one season in 1995.)

By the start of the 1996–97 season, viewership was beginning to decline. Shaud left the series and comedian Lily Tomlin was brought in to replace him in the role of executive producer Kay Carter-Shepley to help bolster the sitcom's ratings. Kay proved that she had just as little journalistic experience as Miles Silverberg when he started with the show; the only experience Kay had in television—in spite of her venerable connections—was producing daytime game shows. Where Murphy had terrorized the younger Miles, the Machiavellian Kay often emerged victorious in her dealings with Murphy. Tomlin remained with the series for its last two years but ratings continued to drop, especially after a move off of Monday nights in favor of a slot on Wednesday nights. CBS did renew Murphy Brown for a tenth season, which was to be its last.

In the fall of 1997, the final season premiered and the entire season served as a story arc in which Murphy battled breast cancer. The storyline was not without controversy; an episode in which she used medical marijuana to relieve side effects of chemotherapy was attacked by conservative groups, and a women's health group protested an episode in which Murphy, while shopping for prosthetic breasts, uttered the line "Should I go with Demi Moore or Elsie the Cow?"

However, the show's handling of the subject was credited with a 30 percent increase in the number of women getting mammograms that year, and Bergen was presented an award from the American Cancer Society in honor of her role in educating women on the importance of breast cancer prevention and screening.

In the original run's final episode, Murphy met and interviewed God (played by Alan King) and Edward R. Murrow in a dream while undergoing surgery. Computer editing was used to insert footage of the real Murrow, who died in 1965, into the show. Diane English, who created the show, made a cameo appearance as a nurse who delivered the results to Murphy after her surgery. At the end of the episode, Murphy walks through her house seemingly alone, only to have Eldin appear at the end, offering to "touch up" her house.

Continuation

Development
Following the end of the show's original run, series creator Diane English had been approached multiple times about potentially reviving the series. Around 2008, the show came the closest to being brought back to the air following Sarah Palin's nomination as the Republican vice-presidential nominee with comparisons being drawn between her and former Murphy Brown critic Dan Quayle. In 2017, Warner Bros. Television again approached English about reviving the series following the election of Donald Trump as president. English spent nine months developing an idea for a new iteration of the series before finally composing a script. Candice Bergen was then approached about signing on to the project and she agreed on the condition that Faith Ford, Joe Regalbuto, and Grant Shaud join as well.

On January 24, 2018, it was announced that CBS had given the production a series order for one season consisting of thirteen episodes set to air during the 2018–2019 season. English and Bergen were set to serve as executive producers of the revival which would, according to CBS, be set in "a world of cable news, social media, fake news and a very different political and cultural climate." Production companies involved with the series were slated to consist of Bend in the Road Productions and Warner Bros. Television. On February 27, 2018, it was announced that Pam Fryman would direct the revival's pilot episode.

On May 16, 2018, it was announced during the CBS upfronts presentation that the revival would now have Murphy anchoring a cable morning show, Murphy In the Morning, with her old team, lifestyle reporter Corky Sherwood, investigative journalist Frank Fontana, and producer Miles Silverberg, while Murphy's son Avery would host a rival, cable morning show that airs opposite his mother's program. On July 9, 2018, it was announced that the series would premiere on September 27, 2018. On September 21, 2018, it was reported that CBS had extended the running time of the premiere episode of the revival by five minutes.

On November 28, 2018, it was reported that the season would end after the thirteen episodes ordered by CBS had aired. However, it was further reported that the series was still under consideration by CBS to be renewed for another season. On May 10, 2019, CBS canceled the revival series after a single season.

Casting
Alongside the initial announcement of the revival, it was confirmed that Candice Bergen would reprise her role as Murphy Brown. On February 26, 2018, it was announced that Faith Ford, Joe Regalbuto, and Grant Shaud were joining the main cast and reprising their roles from the series' original run. It was also reported Charles Kimbrough would not be returning to the series full-time, but might make a guest appearance in the revival. On March 16, 2018, it was announced that Jake McDorman and Nik Dodani had also joined the main cast. McDorman was set to assume the role of Murphy Brown's now adult son Avery. On April 19, 2018, it was announced that Tyne Daly had joined the main cast in the role of Phyllis, the sister of the deceased bar owner Phil from the series' original run. On August 5, 2018, it was confirmed during the Television Critics Association's annual summer press tour that Kimbrough would reprise his role from the series' original run in a three-episode story arc. On September 13, 2018, it was reported that Adan Rocha had been cast in a series regular role. In October 2018, it was announced that Merle Dandridge had joined the cast in a recurring capacity and that Bette Midler, Brooke Shields, John Larroquette, Katie Couric, and Peter Gallagher would appear in guest-starring roles.

Before the premiere of the season, it was reported that the first episode would feature a guest appearance from a prominent individual. The identity of the guest was kept secret until the episode aired with the network going so far as to not include the scene in which they appeared in screeners for the press. Upon the episode's release, it was revealed that the guest star was in fact former secretary of state and Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton.

Critical response
On the review aggregation website Rotten Tomatoes, the season holds an approval rating of 40% with an average rating of 5.9 out of 10, based on 35 reviews. The website's critical consensus reads, "This just in: while the nostalgia and wit are welcome, Murphy Browns dated messaging tactics feel heavy-handed and smug, leaving this formerly formidably timely series feeling like a reboot reaching for the headlines." Metacritic, which uses a weighted average, assigned the season a score of 53 out of 100 based on 27 critics, indicating "mixed or average reviews".

Cultural impact

Murphy as a single mother
In the show's 1991–92 season, Murphy became pregnant. When her baby's father (ex-husband and current underground radical Jake Lowenstein) expressed his unwillingness to give up his own lifestyle to be a parent, Murphy chose to have the child and raise it alone. Another major fiction-reality blending came at Murphy's baby shower: the invited guests were journalists Katie Couric, Joan Lunden, Paula Zahn, Mary Alice Williams and Faith Daniels, who treated the fictional Murphy and Corky as friends and peers.

At the point where she was about to give birth, she had stated that "several people do not want me to have the baby. Pat Robertson; Phyllis Schlafly; half of Utah!" Right after giving birth to her son Avery, Murphy sang the song "(You Make Me Feel Like) A Natural Woman". This storyline made the show a subject of political controversy during the 1992 American presidential campaign. On May 19, 1992, Vice President Dan Quayle spoke at the Commonwealth Club in San Francisco. During his speech, he criticized the Murphy Brown character for "mocking the importance of fathers by bearing a child alone".

Quayle's remarks caused a public discussion on family values, culminating in the 1992–93 season premiere, "You Say Potatoe, I Say Potato", where the television characters reacted to Quayle's comments and produced a special episode of FYI showcasing and celebrating the diversity of the modern American family. Because Quayle's actual speech made little reference to Murphy Brown's fictional nature (other than the use of the word character), the show was able to use actual footage from his speech to make it appear that, within the fictional world of the show, Quayle was referring to Murphy Brown personally, rather than to the fictional character. At the end, Brown helps organize a special edition of FYI focusing on different kinds of families, then arranges a retaliatory prank in which a truckload of potatoes is dumped in front of Quayle's residence while a disc jockey playfully commenting on the incident notes the Vice President should be glad people were not making fun of him for misspelling "fertilizer". This referenced how, on June 15, 1992, at a spelling bee in Trenton, New Jersey, Quayle had erroneously corrected an elementary-school student's spelling of "potato" to "potatoe". The cue card used by the teacher read "potatoe". When Candice Bergen won another Emmy that year, she thanked Dan Quayle. The feud was cited by E! as #81 on its list of "101 Reasons the '90s Ruled".

In 2002, Bergen said in an interview that she personally agreed with much of Quayle's speech, calling it "a perfectly intelligent speech about fathers not being dispensable" and adding that "nobody agreed with that more than I did."

Quayle eventually displayed a sense of humor about the incident—after the controversy died down, he appeared for an interview on an independent Los Angeles TV station and for his final question was asked what his favorite TV show was. He responded with "Murphy Brown—Not!" The station later used the clip of Quayle's response to promote its showing of Murphy Brown re-runs in syndication.

Quayle's complaint notwithstanding, prime-time TV in 1992 was "boosting family values more aggressively than it has in decades", wrote Time magazine critic Richard Zoglin, citing everything from Home Improvement to Roseanne. Murphy Brown was worth highlighting in a vice-presidential speech "not because it represented the state of television and the culture in general" but because Murphy's choice of single motherhood departed from it. The show has been seen as blazing a trail for single-mother characters in Ally McBeal, Sex and the City, Desperate Housewives, and The Good Wife—and "benefited from Bergen's character going through a political maelstrom so none of them had to."

In 2010, Murphy Brown was ranked #25 on the [pPop (American TV channel)|TV Guide Network]] special, 25 Greatest TV Characters of All Time.

Syndication
Murphy Brown was unsuccessful when it was introduced in off-network syndication in the 1990s, in part because of high music rights fees and that the topical references in the show quickly had become dated. It was reintroduced to cable and digital multicast networks in the 2010s, beginning with a run on Encore Classic in 2013, with the series airing on Antenna TV as of 2018.

Home media
Warner Home Video released the first season of Murphy Brown on DVD in Region 1 on February 8, 2005. Due to low sales and high music licensing costs, no future releases are planned.

Imperio de monstruos (en el inglés original, Monster Rule) es una serie de historietas de Richard Corben de 1968, la primera de cierta entidad de su autor.

Trayectoria editorial
Imperio de monstruos fue publicada a partir de mayo de 1968 en 3 números sucesivos (12 a 14) del fanzine Voice of the Comicdom, alcanzando un total de 8 páginas. Dos años después, fue reeditada en el número 15 de Weirdom.
Fue publicada en español por Toutain Editor en un  artbook antológico y biográfico sobre el autor  (Richard Corben, Vuelo a la fantasía).

Argumento
El agente estelar Alvin Al Jorcus aterriza en el planeta SC-413-3 para acabar con el delincuente Librun, que ha infringido la ley de no intervenir en asuntos de otros planetas. Allí es capturado por los alienígenas kree que gobiernan SC-413-3, sometiendo a sus humanos nativos. Gracias a la ayuda de la kree Narla, con la que mantiene relaciones sexuales, Jorcus logra escapar, sólo para ser capturado por el ejército humano que lidera Librun. Este le propone unirse a su lucha contra los Kree para liberar a los humanos del planeta, pero Alvin prefiere cumplir su misión: Mata a Librun y se marcha de SC-413-3.

Valoración
Imperio de monstruos es una obra aún tosca, con un excesivo número de viñetas por página. Muestra, sin embargo, una gran variedad de encuadres y adelanta los temas que serían característicos de Richard Corben: El erotismo, los extraterrestres, la violencia o la crítica al estamento militar, siempre desde un punto de vista irónico.

Su calidad, en cualquier caso, es muy superior a la habitual en el comic underground de la época y abrió a su autor las puertas de otras publicaciones.

Porte Dauphine () is the western terminus of Line 2 of the Paris Métro. It is situated in the 16th arrondissement. Avenue Foch station, served by the RER C line, is located nearby, as is Paris Dauphine University.

Location
The station is established under the Place du Maréchal-de-Lattre-de-Tassigny, on a loop comprising two half-stations approximately oriented north-west / south-east. It is preceded or followed (depending on the direction) by the Victor Hugo station.

History
Porte Dauphine station was inaugurated on 13 December 1900 as the western terminus of the first section of line 2 Nord which will more simply become line 2 on 17 October 1907. Although Line 2 had then been completed only as far as Charles de Gaulle–Étoile, it now runs from Porte Dauphine, around the northern part of Paris, through Montmartre, around to its eastern terminus at the Place de la Nation.

It is named after Porte Dauphine, a gate in the 19th-century Thiers wall of Paris. Its subtitle honours Jean de Lattre de Tassigny. because of its location under the square of the same name), French general officer, hero of the Second World War and Companion of the Liberation, who was raised to the dignity of Marshal of France posthumously. However, this subtitle does not appear on the plans.

As part of the RATP's Un métro + beau program, the station's corridors were renovated on 31 May 2011.

In 2019, 2,932,159 travelers entered this station which placed it at the 180th position of the metro stations for its attendance of 302.

Passenger services

Access
The station is famous for one of its entrances, created by Hector Guimard, registered as a historic monument by the decree of 12 February 2016 and completely restored in October 1999 for the celebrations of the centenary of the Paris metro. It has a total of four metro outlets:
 entrance 1 - Boulevard Lannes, consisting of a fixed staircase diverging into two other staircases, each decorated with a Dervaux candelabra, leading to Place du Paraguay at the right of nos. 81 and 83 of Avenue Foch;
 entrance 2 - Avenue Foch, consisting of a fixed staircase also decorated with a Dervaux mast, located north of the odd median of this avenue;
 entrance 3 - Boulevard de l'Amiral-Bruix, consisting of a fixed staircase topped with the only original Guimard kiosk with a canopy in the Art Nouveau style, located opposite the Place des Généraux-de-Trentinian on the even side of the Avenue Foch;
 entrance 4 - Avenue Bugeaud, consisting of a fixed staircase allowing only an exit and equipped with a more modest Guimard entourage (also classified as a historic monument), leading to the angle formed by this avenue and the odd alley of Avenue Foch, to the right of no. 77 of the latter.

Station layout

Note: The station is on a loop, so the westbound/drop-off and eastbound platforms are slightly offset.

Platforms
Porte Dauphine is a station with a particular configuration. It is made up of two divergent half-stations framing a very tight turning loop, only thirty meters in radius, according to its original racket layout, which is the only network to be fully preserved. The arrival half-station to the north has two central tracks, the northern one serving a single lateral platform, while the southern one, a dead-end to the west and without a platform, is used for the train depot and runs technical rooms. The half-station for departure is made up of two tracks separated by an island platform, that of the north a dead-end, in the west, also serving as depot. The vault is elliptical in both cases.

The station is also one of only two in the network, with Porte de Vincennes on line 1, to have preserved its original decoration in flat cream-colored tiles, which is one of the experimental decorations tested in 1900 before selecting the famous bevelled white tile for other parts of the network. This tiling covers the walls, the vault and the tympans. Lighting is provided by a tube strip in each half station. The platforms are free of advertisements and the name of the station is inscribed on enamel plaques, in capital letters or in Parisine font depending on the location. The boarding platform has benches made of wooden slats painted red.

Architecture
The station contains one of the three remaining "dragonfly" roofed Métro entrances by Hector Guimard (1867–1942), the Art Nouveau architect who was originally commissioned by the Compagnie du Métropolitain de Paris (CMP) in 1899 to design the entrances for the Métro stations. It is the only roofed entrance that is original, not reconstructed, and on its original site. It was restored in 1999.

Other connections
The station is connected by public road to the Avenue Foch station located on RER C. It is also served by the PC line of the RATP Bus Network.

Friedrich Albert von Zenker (13 March 1825 – 13 June 1898) was a German pathologist and physician, celebrated for his discovery of trichinosis.

He was born in Dresden, and was educated in Leipzig and Heidelberg. While in Leipzig, he worked for a while as an assistant to Justus Radius at the St. Georg Hospital.  Attached to the city hospital of Dresden in 1851, he added, in 1855, the duties of professor of pathological anatomy and general pathology in the surgico-medical academy of that city.  In 1862 he became professor of pathological anatomy and pharmacology at Erlangen.  Three years afterwards he assumed with Hugo Wilhelm von Ziemssen the editorship of the "Deutsches Archiv für klinische Medizin".  In 1895 he retired from active service.

Zenker's diverticulum, a false pathological diverticulum of the posterior pharyngeal wall, through the thyropharyngeus and cricopharyngeus parts of the inferior constrictor muscle, is named after him.

His important discovery of the danger of trichina dates from 1860.  In that year he published "Ueber die Trichinenkrankheit des Menschen" (in volume xviii of VirchowsArchiv).

In 1865 he was awarded the Monthyon Prize by the French Academy of Sciences.

Samuel Sewall (; March 28, 1652 – January 1, 1730) was a judge, businessman, and printer in the Province of Massachusetts Bay, best known for his involvement in the Salem witch trials, for which he later apologized, and his essay The Selling of Joseph (1700), which criticized slavery.  He served for many years as the chief justice of the Massachusetts Superior Court of Judicature, the province's high court.

Biography

Sewall was born in Bishopstoke, Hampshire, England, on March 28, 1652, the son of Henry and Jane (Dummer) Sewall.  His father, son of the mayor of Coventry, had come to the English North American Massachusetts Bay Colony in 1635, where he married Sewall's mother and returned to England in the 1640s.

Following the Restoration of Charles II to the English throne, the Sewalls again crossed the Atlantic in 1661, settling in Newbury, Massachusetts. It is there the young Samuel "Sam" grew up along the Parker River and Plum Island Sound.

Like other local boys, he attended school at the home of James Noyes, whose cousin, Reverend Thomas Parker, was the principal instructor. From Parker, Sewall acquired a lifelong love of verse, which he wrote in both English and Latin. In 1667 Sewall entered Harvard College, where his classmates included Edward Taylor and Daniel Gookin, with whom he formed enduring friendships. Sewall received his first degree, a BA, in 1671, and his MA in 1674. In 1674 he served as librarian of Harvard for nine months, the second person to hold that post. That year he began keeping a journal, which he maintained for most of his life; it is one of the major historical documents of the time. In 1679 he became a member of the Military Company of Massachusetts.

Sewall's involvement in the political affairs of the colony began when he became a freeman of the colony, giving him the right to vote. In 1681 he was appointed the official printer of the colony. One of the first works he published was John Bunyan's The Pilgrim's Progress. After John Hull died in 1683, Sewall was elected to replace him on the colony's council of assistants, a body that functioned both as the upper house of the legislature and as a court of appeals. He also became a member of Harvard's Board of Overseers.

Sewall's oral examination for the MA was a public affair and was witnessed by Hannah Hull, daughter of colonial merchant and mintmaster, John Hull. She was apparently taken by the young man's charms and pursued him. They were married in February 1676. Her father, whose work as mintmaster had made him quite wealthy, gave the couple £500 in colonial currency as a wedding gift. Biographer Richard Francis notes that the weight of this amount of specie, , may have approximated the bride's weight, giving rise to Nathaniel Hawthorne's legend that the gift was her weight in coins. Sewall moved into his in-laws' mansion in Boston and was soon involved in that family's business and political affairs. He and Hannah had fourteen children before her death in 1717, although only a few survived to adulthood.

He also entered local politics and was elevated to the position of assistant magistrate in the judiciary. In 1692 he was one of the nine judges appointed to the court of Oyer and Terminer in Salem, charged with trying those from Salem Town and elsewhere who were accused of witchcraft. His diary recounts many of the more famous episodes of the trials, such as the agonizing death under torture of Giles Corey, and reflects the growing public unease about the guilt of many of the accused. Sewall's brother Stephen had meanwhile opened up his home to one of the initially afflicted children, Betty Parris, daughter of Salem Village's minister, Samuel Parris, and shortly afterward Betty's "afflictions" appear to have subsided.

Sewall was perhaps most remarkable among the justices involved in the trials in that he later regretted his role, going so far as to call for a public day of prayer, fasting, and reparations. Following the dissolution of the court, the Sewall family was blighted by what Sewall thought to be punishments from God. In the five years after the Trials, two of Sewall's daughters and Hannah's mother died, and Hannah gave birth to a stillborn child. What convinced Sewall of his need for public repentance was a recitation of Matthew 12:7, "If ye had known what this meaneth, I will have mercy and not sacrifice, ye would not have condemned the guiltless". Not only had Sewall's home life been shaken, but in the years after the Trials, the people of Massachusetts came to see them as the culmination of a generation-long series of setbacks and ordeals, notably the Navigation Acts, the declaration of the New England Dominion, and  King Philip's War. He saw this as a sign not that witchcraft did not exist, but that he had ruled on insubstantial evidence. He records in his diary that on 14 January 1697, he stood up in the meeting house he attended while his minister read out his confession of guilt.

In 1693 Sewall was appointed an associate justice of the Superior Court of Judicature, the province's high court, by Governor Sir William Phips. In 1717, he was appointed its chief justice by Governor Samuel Shute.

Sewall died in Boston, Massachusetts, on January 1, 1730, aged 77, and was interred in the family tomb at Boston's Granary Burying Ground.

Sewall married three times. Hannah Hull, his first wife, died in 1717; two years later, in 1719, Sewall married Abigail (Melyen) Woodmansey Tilley, who died seven months later. In 1722, he married Mary (Shrimpton) Gibbs, who survived him. His nephew, Stephen, also served as a Massachusetts Chief Justice, as did his great-grandson Samuel.

Views and writings

Apart from his involvement in the Salem witch trials, Sewall was liberal in his views for the time. In 1700, he wrote and published The Selling of Joseph, a tract which argued a biblically-based case that slavery was unjustified and sinful. It was the first anti-slavery document ever published in New England and in North America broadly. Written like a sermon, Selling argued that "Liberty is in real value next unto Life: None ought to part with it themselves, or deprive others of it, but upon the most mature Consideration." Enslaving people of Black African descent was contrary to God's design for the world because according to scripture, all humankind were "the sons of Adam" and "of One Blood" and had the same right to freedom. Freedom, including for Black Americans, Sewall wrote, should be valued more than profit. His title referred to the biblical story of Joseph, son of Israel, whose brothers unjustly sold him into slavery, comparing the enslavement of Black Americans to Joseph's own unjustified bondage. Selling still propagated a segregationist perspective, and Sewall claimed that Black Africans could not peacefully live among white New Englanders. Nevertheless, his argument against slavery was, at least according to one historian, a "courageous… public stand".

Sewall had published Selling in response to learning that Boston judge John Saffin had refused to release a Black indentured servant named Adam and intended to perpetually enslave Adam. After Selling was released, Saffin issued a rebuttal arguing that social hierarchies were necessary and that enslaving Black Americans was divinely ordained. Adam was set free after a lengthy trial, but Saffin's rebuttal held greater sway among Bostonians, and chattel slavery persisted in Massachusetts. Selling was only reprinted twice (one in the 1700s and again in 1863), and it became an obscure document. Sewall's own nephew, also named Samuel Sewall, rejected his uncle's arguments against chattel slavery and continued participating in it as a business.

His essay Talitha Cumi, first published in 1725, refers to the "right of women." When the periwig became fashionable in New England, Sewall condemned the fashion vehemently, in contrast to Cotton Mather, who saw no reason why a Puritan should not wear a wig. Sewall's Journal, kept from 1673 to 1729, describes his life as a Puritan against the changing tide of colonial life as the devoutly religious community of Massachusetts gradually adopted more secular attitudes and emerged as a liberal, cosmopolitan-minded community.

Cultural influence
The Crucible (1996 film): Judge Samuel Sewall was played by actor George Gaynes. Notably, he is the first judge to begin doubting the circumstances, and by the end of the film, he is asking his superior, Judge Danforth, to end the trials as he and the townspeople have tired of the deaths and executions brought on by the court.

Vikingskipet Station (Vikingskipet holdeplass) var en jernbanestation på Rørosbanen, der lå i Hamar kommune i Norge. Stationen har aldrig haft fast trafik.

Stationen blev åbnet 16. august 1993 i forbindelse med forberedelserne til Vinter-OL 1994. Den skulle betjene skøjtehallen Vikingskipet, der blev etableret til OL'et og spare tilskuerne for en kilometers gang fra Hamar Station. På trods af investeringen blev den imidlertid kun benyttet en gang under OL og en gang året før i forbindelse med afviklingen af Cykel-VM 1993. I 2006 foreslog Jernbaneverket at genåbne stationen i forbindelse i forbindelse med større arrangementer i Vikingskipet.

Stationen lå ikke på selve Rørosbanens hovedspor men derimod på et blindt sidespor langs med den. Sidesporet var defineret som en del af Hamar Station, hvilket betød at al trafik på sporet blev betragtet som rangering. Sporet var elektrificeret i modsætning til selve Rørosbanen.

I foråret 2016 blev de fire bænke og skiltet på stationen fjernet, og i efteråret samme år blev sporet fra stationsområdet og frem til perronen fjernet.

Dan David (în , ) a fost un om de afaceri, inventator și filantrop israelian și italian, evreu originar din România. A domiciliat și activat în Israel, Italia, Anglia și Spania.

Biografie
Dan David s-a născut sub numele Daniel David Goldenthal în 1929 într-o familie evreiască din București. Tatăl său se numea Alfred Goldenthal și era un inginer originar din Elveția, iar mama sa se numea Alisa sau Lizi. Din copilărie Dan a dovedit talente comerciale, odată la 10 ani a vândut țigări, iar mai apoi la 12 ani s-a ocupat cu legătoria și cu vânzarea de cărți de anticariat. În cursul regimului Antonescu din anii cel de-al Doilea Război Mondial David fost, ca evreu, scos din școala elementară de stat, iar tatăl său a fost concediat. A continuat studiile la un liceu creat pentru evrei la București. A ajutat atunci la subzistența familiei, dând lecții particulare de matematică. De la vârsta de 16 ani a aderat la mișcarea "Tineretul Sionist" - "Hanoar hatzioní" și a fost trimis să organizeze secția acesteia de la Bacău. La sfârșitul anului  1947 a participat la organizarea emigrării evreilor spre Palestina.

La începutul anului 1949 Dan Goldenthal s-a căsătorit cu prietena sa, Doroteea, pe care a cunoscut-o în vara anului 1946.
Ulterior a studiat economia și metodologii tehnice la Universitatea din București. În vremea studenției soția și socrii săi au primit aprobarea autorităților pentru a pleca în Israel, în timp ce cererea lui Goldenthal a fost respinsă de mai multe ori. În aceste împrejurări soții au fost nevoiți să divorțeze.

După terminarea facultății Goldenthal a lucrat un timp ca contabil la o companie guvernamentală de import. Nu i-a plăcut această muncă, și a preferat sa devină fotograf de presă, între altele la un ziar și la Radiodifuziune. Când a cerut să plece pentru acoperirea unui eveniment sportiv în Germania de vest, securitatea l-a arestat și l-a anchetat vreme de o săptămână în legătură cu activitatea sionistă din tinerețe. A fost concediat, dar apoi a găsit o nouă slujbă la un alt ziar. Cu această ocazie a cunoscut o ziaristă pe nume Mia Fischer, cu care s-a căsătorit.

În 1960 a izbutit să obțină permisiunea de a emigra din România și să plece la Paris, unde avea rude. A emigrat împreună cu soția, mama sa văduvă și cele două bunici. La Paris, unde a lucrat ca fotograf, i-au atras atenția niște cabine de fotografie automată, dintre care unele mai moderne erau produse în Marea Britanie. În august a emigrat cu familia în Israel pe vaporul "Theodor Herzl". Acolo și-a găsit un loc de muncă ca fotograf la compania "Prior" pe strada Allenby din Tel Aviv. Și-a schimbat numele în Dan David, David fiind și numele de familie al unui străbunic de-al său.

Succesul în afaceri
În 1961 a efectuat o călătorie în Europa și a decis să se ocupe cu afaceri în domeniul fotografiei. În anul 1965, cu ajutorul unui împrumut de 200.000 dolari de la un văr de-al său din Franța, pe nume Pierre Valle, David a cumpărat de la compania britanică Photo Me International o cabină de fotografiere automată și dreptul exclusiv de comercializare a unor astfel de cabine în Israel.
Având succes, el a achiziționat noi cabine precum și dreptul de comercializare a lor pe piața italiană. În cele din urmă s-a stabilit cu soția în Italia, unde a înființat compania Dedem Automatical SRL. După încă un an a obținut dreptul de comercializare a cabinelor Photo Me și în Spania, iar în 1968 în Japonia (Nippon Auto Photo) unde s-a bucurat de beneficiile cele mai mari. Mai târziu a înființat și în România compania Photomat în domeniul fotografiatului.

Apoi și-a mărit substanțial propriul capital printr-o companie proprie numită "FoMat". În 1962 a intrat în asociere cu "Photo Me International", primind 20% din acțiunile acesteia. El însuși a înregistrat numeroase patente în domeniul fotografiei și al fotografiilor color. Compania Photo Me International a ajuns sub controlul său în anul 1968, el devenind președintele ei (Executive Chairman, apoi Non Executive Chairman) între anii 1992-2005. Din 2005 a fost președintele pe viață al companiei. Compania a ajuns să instaleze 27.000 de cabine de fotografie automată in întreaga lume, deținând 90% din piața mondială in acest domeniu. Între anii 1983-1987 David a condus și compania de investiții "Photo Me Financial Services". În 1994 David a unit compania sa cu compania franceză care a introdus tehnica de developare a filmelor în timp de o oră. Dan David a devenit președintele companiei nou create. În anul 1997 David a devenit asociat la Hedge Fond GLG, la recomandarea fondatorului acestuia, Noam Gottesman.  Ulterior a intrat în consiliul de administrație al fondului.

În 1999 acțiunile sale și ale partenerului său de afaceri, Serge Crasnianski, erau estimate la 210 și respectiv 200 milioane lire sterline .

În anul 1978 soția sa, Mia, a murit subit de un accident cerebral vascular în cursul unei vacanțe împreună. Prin intermediul actorului Moscu Alcalay și a soției acestuia, impresara Rodica Alcalay, David a cunoscut pe actrița Gabriela Fleischmann, cu care s-a însurat în anul 1980. Cu ea a avut un copil, Ariel, devenit ulterior ziarist.

În timpul liber Dan David era pasionat de istorie, arheologie și șah. Dan David a murit în urma unei hemoragii cerebrale la Londra în anul 2011 și a fost înmormântat în Israel, la cimitirul din Kfar Shmaryahu.

Activitatea filantropică și Premiul Dan David
La începutul anilor 1990 Dan David a donat pentru construirea clădirii care îi poartă numele în campusul Universității Tel Aviv. De asemenea a înființat fonduri pentru burse de studenți ai Facultății de management.

În anul 2000 David a creat Fundația Dan David, având un capital de 100 000 000 dolari. Primul director al Fundației a fost profesorul Gad Barzilai. Fundația a întemeiat, împreună cu Universitatea Tel Aviv, Premiul Dan David (decernat prima dată în 2002) care constă din trei premii anuale de un milion dolari americani fiecare, pentru contribuții excepționale în domeniul științei, tehnologiei, culturii și societății.

Între laureații Premiului Dan David se numără dirijorul Zubin Mehta, scriitoarea Margaret Atwood, regizorii de cinema frații Joel și Ethan Coen, violoncelistul Yo-Yo Ma, scriitorul Amos Oz, omul politic Tony Blair. Premiații trebuie să aloce 10% din suma câștigată unor tineri cercetători sau doctoranzi.

Papa Ahilije (lat.: Archileus) iz Aleksandrije, 18. papa Aleksandrije i patrijarh Svete Stolice sv. Marka.

Pregled

Život

O njegovom životu postoji vrlo malo podataka. Zna se da je rođen u Aleksandriji u Egiptu, i da je bio poznat po svom znanju i pobožnosti te ga je zbog toga papa Teonije zaredio u svećenika. Očito je bio izuzetno dobro obrazovan u grčkoj filozofiji i teološkoj znanosti, pa ga je papa Atanazije Apostolik kasnije nazvao časni "Ahilije Veliki". Nakon smrti Pjerija, naslijedio ga je na mjestu dekana katehetske škole Aleksandrije.

Služba patrijarha iz Aleksandrije

Nakon mučeničke smrti pape Petra I. (25. studenog 312. AD) koja se dogodila za vrijeme vladavine
rimskog cara Maksimina Daja (lat: Gaius Galerius Valerius Maximinus, negdje znan i kao "Daza"; i Maksimin II.; 20. studenog 270. – 313. AD), biskupi i vjernici Aleksandrije su se okupili i poštujući želju pape Petra I., 24. prosinca 312. godine izabrali su Ahilija za Petrovog nasljednika na položaju pape Aleksandrije.
Nedugo nakon što je sjeo na Tron Sv. Marka, pojavio se Arije i počeo ga preklinjati da ga vrati na službu u crkvi.
Po Arijanovom učenju, nekoliko godina kasnije, nastala je Arijanova kontroverza, nazvana Arijanstvo, pa ga je zbog takvog, heretičkog učenja papa Petar I. ekskomunicirao. Prema izvješću Severusa iz Ašmumena, Arije je kasnije, u razdoblju koje je prethodilo Petrovom pogubljenju, uzaludno od njega pokušavao ishoditi oprost, dok je Petar na samrti objavio predviđanje koje se odnosilo na Arija i njegovo učenje, a koje se, nedugo nakon toga kada je zaživio Arijanizam, pokazalo ispravnim.
Međutim, vještim ulagivanjem i uvjeravanjem u svoje pokajništvo, Arije je privukao pažnju plemstva i uvaženih ljudi, pa ih je molio da za njega posreduju kod patrijarha, nakon čega su se oni zauzeli za njega i tražili od Ahilija da mu dopusti sudjelovanje u službi crkve. Vjerujući da se uistinu pokajao za sve svoje grijehe, Ahilije je blagonaklono, skoro naivno odgovorio na njihov zahtjev i vratio ga na njegov položaj koji je imao prije njegove hereze, odnosno položaj svećenika i propovjednika. Stoga nije poslušao svog prethodnika papu Petra I., jer je, očigledno, povjerovao u Arijevo umiljato pretvaranje.

Odlazak

Ahilijeva papinska služba nije dugo trajala, jer je na mjestu pape Aleksandrije bio samo šest mjeseci, pa umire na 19. dan mjeseca paoni (26. lipanja), 313. AD (28 A.M. - godina prema koptskom računanju vremena), za vrijeme vladavine rimskog cara Maksimina Daja (lat: Gaius Galerius Valerius Maximinus, negdje znan i kao "Daza"; i Maksimin II.; 20. studenog 270. – 313. AD).
Nakon Ahilijeva odlaska, Arije je sam sebe proglasio biskupom Aleksandrije, ali svećenici i narod nisu prihvatili njegovo
samoproglašenje.

Dan štovanja

Pomen na papu Ahilija je na 19. dan mjeseca paoni koji odgovara 26. lipnju prema gregorijanskom
kalendaru, (vidi datume starog i novog stila) slavi njegov blagdan. Spomen na taj dan je upisan u sinaksarionu.
Papa Ahilije sahranjen je u Crkvi od Pećine u Aleksandriji.

Bell Mobility Inc. is a Canadian wireless network operator and the division of Bell Canada which offers wireless services across Canada. It operates networks using LTE and HSPA+ on its mainstream networks. Bell Mobility is the third-largest wireless carrier in Canada, with 10.1 million subscribers as of Q3 2020.

Bell-owned Virgin Mobile Canada as well as Loblaws prepaid PC Telecom, operate as MVNOs on the Bell Mobility network. Some of Bell Canada's regional subsidiaries continue to operate their own wireless networks separate from (but generally allowing for roaming with) Bell Mobility; these are Northwestel (NMI Mobility and Latitude Wireless), Télébec (Télébec Mobilité), and NorthernTel (NorthernTel Mobility).

In July 2006, Bell Mobility assumed responsibility for the former Aliant wireless operations in Atlantic Canada as part of a larger restructuring of both Bell and Aliant, and continued to do business there as Aliant Mobility until re-branding as Bell in April 2008. Bell similarly acquired MTS in Manitoba in 2017, rebranding it as Bell MTS; initially operating autonomously as Bell MTS Mobility, its wireless customers were brought under Bell Mobility in late-2018.

Networks
Although both are different and independent from one another, both the CDMA and UMTS networks use the 850 and 1900 MHz frequencies. Bell's LTE network uses Band 4 Advanced Wireless Services (AWS 1700/2100 MHz) and Band 2 Personal Communications Service (PCS 1900 MHz) in most coverage areas and Band 7 (2600 MHz) in a few areas.

As of April 30, 2019, all CDMA service from Bell has been discontinued.

UMTS

In October 2009, Telus Mobility and Bell announced plans to deploy HSPA technology by 2010 as part of an effort to eventually upgrade to LTE technology. The network, using largely shared infrastructure, launched on November 4, 2009.

According to Bell, the single-channel HSPA+ network is available to 96% of the Canadian population. It provides download speeds of up to 21 Mbit/s, with typical speeds ranging between 3½ and 8 Mbit/s. The dual-channel network, on the other hand, began in 2010 and is available to 70% of the Canadian population. It can reach download speeds of up to 42 Mbit/s but with typical speeds of 7 to 14 Mbit/s.

Bell's HSPA+ network coverage is in portions of all Canadian provinces and territories, but it is not possible to drive in Canada between the Pacific coast to the Atlantic coast without going through areas without any cellular coverage, as there are gaps in cellular coverage in British Columbia and Ontario.

LTE

Bell launched LTE by using the 1700 MHz (Band 4) frequency in Toronto and surrounding areas on September 14, 2011. Since then, Bell has expanded LTE into most areas of Canada where it has HSPA coverage, and launched LTE on to the 2600 MHz (Band 7) frequency for additional bandwidth in March 2012 and on to the 700 MHz spectrum (paired bands LTE Band 12/17 and 13 and unpaired Band 29) in 2014. Bell will use either Band 13 or Band 12 depending on provinces.

As of May 2017, LTE coverage reaches 97% of Canada's population, but there are gaps in coverage in smaller communities and between communities, where Bell's HSPA+ network is available but its LTE network is not available.

As of February 2016, Bell Mobility has launched voice over LTE (VoLTE).

5G NR
In June 2020, Bell launched 5G services in Calgary, Edmonton, Montreal, Toronto, and Vancouver using 1700 MHz AWS-3 spectrum (band n66). Bell has used equipment from Ericsson and Nokia Networks.

Radio frequency summary

Products

Feature phones and smartphones supporting HSPA and LTE are offered by Bell, and are generally the same as offered by the other two large carriers in Canada, Rogers Wireless and Telus Mobility.

Legacy products

Due to the age of the technology as deployed by Bell, CDMA smartphones are no longer supported by Bell Mobility.

Services

History
The first cell phone conversation in Canada took place on the Bell network between Jean Drapeau and Art Eggleton, the mayors of Montreal and Toronto, on July 1, 1985.

The first cell phone customer in Canada was Victor Surerus, a travelling funeral director out of Peterborough, Ontario who purchased a $2,700 CAD telephone set and took out a service subscription with Bell Canada in July 1985.

Bell Mobility discontinued its Advanced Mobile Phone System (AMPS) analog mobile network in February 2008.

Current services
 BlackBerry Internet Service
 Telephony
 SMS and MMS

Bell offers a service to check account balances, minutes and megabytes of mobile data used, add features and answers to frequently asked questions. The service is called TCARE, short for text message care. It is used by sending a blank message to the phone number TCARE (82273).

Mobile Internet
Bell offers four Internet-only plans and several smartphone plans and add-ons for customers wishing to access mobile broadband.

Various fixed data allowances are offered by Bell: 10, 20, 100, 300 and 500 MB, as well as 1 to 6 GB, 10 GB and 15 GB. The 20 MB add-on is a daily allowance, while the others are monthly allowances.

Flexible data plans are also available. This is used for Bell Mobility's Internet-only plans and some smartphone plans, which begins with a certain usage limit at a lower tier. if this is exceeded, the customer moves to the next higher tier with a slightly larger allowance.

The flexible "Turbo Hub flex plan" from Bell differs in that customers have to pay a premium if they want to increase the maximum theoretical speeds from 7.2 Mbit/s to 21 Mbit/s. No additional usage is included when paying for the speed upgrade. Bell's policy is to only allow the sale of Turbo Hub service with its own Turbo Hub devices.

 Bell's wireless Internet plan starts at the initial 2 GB tier. If this is exceeded, the tier automatically goes up to 5 GB, then up to 10 GB, then up to 15 GB as the final tier. There are additional charges if one does goes above the 15 GB tier.

Some grandfathered customers have an unlimited mobile Internet plan or add-on. These are usually limited to older and slower CDMA devices such as the now-discontinued Palm Pre, and normally cannot be used for tethering unless the device is a mobile broadband modem. Its active Virgin Mobile Canada brand also have grandfathered accounts with unlimited mobile broadband.

Mobile TV and Radio

Bell Mobile TV was launched for Bell smartphones on October 18, 2010.

Push-To-Talk
On April 24, 2012, Bell launched an improved Push-To-Talk (PTT) service. It is powered by Bell's newer HSPA+ network, in contrast to the operator's older PTT (Officially titled 10-4) service which used the CDMA network. HSPA+ service is available at one flat rate for unlimited Bell-to-Bell PTT service from and to Canada. The monthly service can either be purchased alone, or added to any plan at a lower cost. PTT roaming in the United States or other countries is billed per megabyte. One megabyte offers approximately ten minutes of PTT talk time. Consequently, Bell offers approximately 100 to 400 PTT roaming minutes for traveling in the USA.

Discontinued services
Bell launched a proprietary Video Calling service on November 4, 2009 for select HSPA+ mobile phones. The service featured a cost of $5 CAD per month for unlimited video calls. It was supported by the LG Xenon, Nokia C6, Nokia N97, Samsung Galaxy S Vibrant, Samsung Omnia II and Samsung Wave smartphones. These devices have all been discontinued. It is unknown whether or not a non-Bell Galaxy S, or even Bell's Samsung Galaxy S II, support the Video Calling service. These Android-based devices, however, can use the included Google Talk for videoconferencing as long as they have an Internet connection available.

Advertising

In conjunction with the 2006 Olympics, Bell Mobility introduced a pair of anthropomorphic CGI beavers named Frank (voiced by Norm Macdonald) and Gordon (voiced by Ken Hudson Campbell), who constantly got into misadventures which led to Frank getting flustered with the antics of the dimwitted Gordon. Analysts covering a potential restructuring of BCE suggested getting rid of the Frank and Gordon ad campaign. They have also criticized some of Bell Mobility's initiatives as failing to tap the market, such as offering full-length movies.

The ad campaign was canceled by Bell on August 1, 2008 and replaced with the "Today just got better" campaign.

Criticism

Feature restrictions

Some clients of Bell Mobility have claimed that their phones' features have been restricted. This action is typically referred to as "crippling". Examples of claims of restricted features are the inability to perform Bluetooth file transfers, for example with the OBEX profile or with a USB cable. Restrictions also include increasing the GPS lock time (2–10 minutes) and resolution (1-2.5 km) of third-party applications while maintaining the speed (10-15 s) and accuracy (10–25 m) of the branded GPS Nav program. GPS Nav service costs $10/month or $3.50/day in addition to the cost of a data plan. The phones affected include the BlackBerry 8830 World Edition, BlackBerry 8130 Pearl, and BlackBerry 8330 Curve.

Some clients claim that Bell Mobility purposely restricts these features in order to force them to use the data services and as a result pay more usage charges. Methods around these restrictions are to use an external memory card or software such as BitPim. Researching the abilities and lack thereof is recommended before purchasing a phone or PDA device, as some desired features may be lacking in the initial choice.

Some clients claim that Bell Mobility withholds firmware upgrades, especially for devices that are not meeting sales expectations. While some SKUs do receive updates on a regular basis, Bell Mobility is reluctant to release upgrades that add enhancements to product, focusing only on firmware releases that fix issues. Oftentimes those upgrades fail to become available as well.

Data Plans

In December 2007  the BBC reported a customer with a $7/month unlimited mobile browser plan received a $85,000 bill. The customer had used his phone as a wireless modem for his computer, and so data transferred was not included under the customer's unlimited mobile browser plan. Bell Mobility now releases in detail acceptable data usage in the terms of service. The BBC reported "Canadians complain that their mobile phone charges are much higher for comparable service in the United States".

Text Messaging
In July 2008, along with Telus Mobility Bell introduced charges of 15¢ for incoming SMS messages. Critics were quick to point out that there is no way of blocking incoming message fees and suggested Bell and Telus were price fixing as both had announced the fees simultaneously. Bell (and Telus) are now being sued by frustrated consumers and subscribers, as they demand change in text charges. Many customers were frustrated because this fee also apply to existing customers with ongoing contracts.

Retail presence
In addition to running its own retail operations, Bell co-owns Glentel alongside their chief telecom and media rival, Rogers. Bell Mobility also distributes through the independent Cellcom Communications, mainly in the Greater Montreal area. Bell purchased ownership in The Source (formerly known as RadioShack) to increase its retail presence.

Euro Truck Simulator 2 (også kendt som ETS2) er et simulationsspil som går ud på at køre lastbil. Spillet blev udviklet og udgivet af SCS Software til Microsoft Windows, Linux og Mac OS X og blev oprindeligt udgivet den 19. oktober 2012. Spillet er en direkte efterfølger til det oprindelige Euro Truck Simulator fra 2008, og er det andet spil i Euro Truck Simulator-serien. Spilleren kan køre flere forskellige gennem en mindre del af Europa, samt hente last fra forskellige steder og aflevere det. Når man er kommet længere i spillet bliver det muligt for spilleren at købe flere lastbiler, lastbilgarager og ansætte lastbilchauffører. Spillet har solgt mere end 3,5 millioner eksemplarer fra december 2015.

Instruktion
Til at starte med vælger spilleren hvor ens hovedkvarter skal være, i en by. Efter det kan spilleren valgfrit vælge en tutorial. Derefter kan spilleren kun vælge det som kaldes "Hurtige job" - disse job går ud på, at man bruger en brugt lastbil fra firmaet man kører for, samt får en lavere løn end hvis man havde sin egen lastbil. Brændstof, vejafgifter, færgeoverfarter, m.m. bliver betalt af firmaets chef. I takt med at spilleren tjener penge, eller låner i banken, kan man købe sin egen lastbil, anskaffe en garage og starte med at tjene flere penge ved at levere last med sin egen lastbil. De penge som tjenes i spillet kan blive brugt på at opgradere, udsmykke eller købe nye lastbiler, ansætte NPC-lastbilchauffører for at kunne klare flere jobs, købe flere garager og udvide garagerne for at gøre det muligt at håndtere flere lastbiler og chauffører.

Spilleren får erfaringspoint efter en leverings gennemførelse. For at komme op i niveau skal der x antal erfaringspoint til. Når spilleren kommer op i niveau bliver der uddelt et færdigheds point. Disse færdigheds point kan blive brugt til at låse op for muligheden for at køre med ADR-last, langdistanceleveringer, værdifulde gods, skrøbeligt gods, hastefragt, og miljøvenlig kørsel. Efter valget af fremgangsmåderne bliver spillet sværere og mere indbringende.

Spillet byder på 133 byer og 13 havne i 16 forskellige lande. Lige nu er der 285 forskellige laste og 148 firmaer at hente fra.

Udvikling
Spillet blev oprindeligt kun udgivet til Windows, men i marts 2013 udmeldte SCS, at de var i gang med at udvikle en version til Mac. En måned senere udgav de en Linux betaversion af spillet gennem Steam. Den 27. februar skrev de at "Mac OS X versionen af ETS2 tager længere tid end forventet, men stol på os, vi arbejder stadigvæk meget hårdt på det." Den 19. december 2014 blev det endeligt udmeldt at Mac-versionen var klar til at blive beta-testet via Steam. Den 21. januar 2015 blev en 64-bit version af Euro Truck Simulator udgivet, hvilket gjorde det muligt at mere hukommelse blev dedikeret til spillet.

Anden version indeholdte to nye lastbilfabrikanter, Scania og Renault, og MAN som også var der i det gamle spil. Lastbiler fra DAF, Iveco, Mercedes-Benz og Volvo var spillet oprindeligt ikke berettiget til at have med, og skiftede derfor navne til DAV, Ivedo, Majestic og Valiant (henholdsvis). I senere versioner indeholdte spillet de rigtige navne for DAF XF, Volvo FH, Iveco Stralis og Mercedes-Benz Actros.

I juli 2013 blev en stor opdatering udgivet, hvilket rettede flere forskellige grafiske fejl, forbedrede afgiftssystemet og tillod spilleren at fravælge lastbilens hastighedsbegrænser inde i spil-indstillingerne.

I oktober 2013 meddelte SCS at de nu understøtter Oculus Rift, hvilket blev muligt i 1.9 betaen fra marts 2014.

I maj 2014 blev ETS2 opdateret til version 1.10. I juli 2014 blev en ny version af ETS2 udgivet som var version 1.11 på Steam. Den fulde version indeholder tre nye byer i Østrig og Italien, sammen med et forbedret layout og UI, en ny måde hvorpå du kan justere dit sæde i lastbilens kabine og en ny mulighed for at kunne sælge og bytte dine garager. I januar 2015 blev ETS2 opdateret med fuld understøttelse af 64-bit samt en officiel udgivelse af OS X-versionen. Den 8. september 2015 fejrede SCS deres femte år på deres gamle blog, og meddelte en ny funktion i version 1.21 Cabin Accessories DLC.

Hentbart indhold

Going East!
I januar 2013 annoncerede SCS Software en DLC, Going East!, hvilket udvidede spillets bane til Østeuropa. DLC'en indeholdte tretten helt nye byer i Polen, Slovakiet, Tjekkiet og Ungarn og blev udgivet i september 2013. I juli 2015 (version 1.19) fik Ungarn to nye byer: Pécs og Szeged samt veje i Østrig og Ungarn.

Paint job themes
Et sæt lakeringer for lastbiler med Halloween-tema blev udgivet på Valve's Steam butik den 24. oktober 2013. Den 10. december 2013 blev et endnu et lastbilslakeringsæt udgivet, denne gang med vinter-tema. Disse temaer kan anvendes på enhver lastbil i spillet.

High Power Cargo Pack
High Power Cargo Pack DLC tilføjede flere typer last til spillet. De nye lasttyper er oftest bredere, længere og tungere og har helikoptere, forskellige traktorer og store boremaskiner, klimaanlæg og endda yachter.

Scandinavia
Den 7. maj 2015 udgav SCS en anden DLC (geografisk ligesom Going East!) kaldt Scandinavia DLC. Som navnet antyder medfølger der i denne DLC lande fra Skandinavien, navnlig Danmark, Norge og Sverige. DLC'en indeholder også to nye typer last: én med dyr og én med lastbiler. Den sidstnævnte kan blive hentet ved Volvo Trucks' og Scania's fabrikker i Sverige, som også er blevet rekonstrueret i spillet.

Cabin Accessories
Cabin Accessories DLC'en tilføjet flere forskellige ting i lastbilens kabine som man kan tilpasse, såsom bannere, vimpler, bobbleheads, transportable navigationssystemer og endda dinglende terninger som vil reagere på lastbilens bevægelser. Den blev udgivet den 30. september 2015.

Mods
Et stort udvalg af mods kan blive downloadet til Euro Truck Simulator 2, mange af disse hjælper spillet med at få mere indhold, banestørrelse samt popularitet. Populære banemods er ProMods, som lige nu har moddeleret lande som Danmark, Sverige, Norge, Frankrig, Estland, Island, Skotland, Romanien, Ukraine, Letland, Spanien med flere. Dette hold planlægger en dag at have hele det Europæiske kontinent dækket. Et andet populært mod er TSM (TruckSim Map) som har Italien, Spanien, Portugal, Grækenland og Nordafrika. Der er også Poland Rebuilding, et projekt som sigter efter at få Polen til at være mere realistisk, og slog sig sammen med ProMods 2.0 efter dens udgivelser. Der er også RusMap, et projekt som indeholder Hviderusland og Rusland. Der er også et tredjeparts multiplayermod, som på nuværende tidspunkt blot er i open-alpha-status, som tillader ETS2-spillere fra hele verden at spille med hinanden i samme verden. Dette multiplayermod kaldet ETS2MP har seks serverer, tre i Europa, én i Nordamerika, én i Asien og én i Sydamerika.

Nogle mods tillader spilleren at køre biler som Jeep Grand Cherokee SRT8, Audi S4, BMW X5 og X6 eller forbedret AI-trafik med forskellige biler.

Steam Workshop Integration
I 1.23-betaen blev Valve's Steam Workshop integreret i spillet, hvilket tillod at skabere kunne uploade diverse værker til Euro Truck Simulator 2 Steam Workshop -siden. På denne måde vil spilleren kunne downloade enhver ting til Euro Truck Simulator ved ét klik. Dem som laver mods bruger et værktøj kaldt SCS Workshop Uploader  til at få deres mods op på Workshop Siden.

Vive la France
Den 18. februar 2016 blev det annonceret at man var i gang med at lave France DLC. Den vil dække resten af Frankrig, idet den originale bane kun indeholdte den nordlige del af Frankrig.

Iberia
Den 19. December 2019 blev det annonceret at Den iberiske halvø bliver den næste DLC. Udvidelsen indholder Spanien og Portugal. Det var meningen at Iberia skulle være ude i December 2020, men pga Covid-19 havde det sløvet udviklingen af spillet. I stedet vil Iberia blive udgivet inden for de første 3 måneder af 2021. Iberia blev udgivet 8. april 2021
