(01:38) Man viste brystvorten frem og farvede den lyserød i barokken. Det var moden dengang. Og selvom Helle Thorning-Schmidts kjole til Dronning Margrethes gallafest flugter med tidens mode, så skaber den også debat, fordi den var nedringet. Og debatten skyldes, at vi af historiske årsager ikke er vant til, at kvinder kobler det meget feminine udtryk med en magtposition. Derfor forstyrrer det vores verdenssyn. Gæst: Julie Rokkjær Birch, museumsdirektør på Museet KØN. (12:18) Parfume, smykker og musik - antikkens statuer blev præsenteret med fuld blæs på og så de lignede rigtige, levende mennesker, viser nyere forskning. Torsdag præsenterer Glyptoteket for første gang en forestilling, hvor man kan opleve statuerne, som de blev i antikkens Rom for 2.500 år siden. Gæster: Cecilie Brøns, en af verdens førende forskere i den sanselige oplevelse af antik skulptur, klassisk arkæolog, museumsinspektør på Ny Carlsberg Glyptotek i København og Peter Albrechtsen, tonemester. (24:18) Cecil Bødkers barnebarn Ayoe Angelica udgiver fredag et album med den anerkendte forfatters digte. Ayoe Angelica er datter af Bødkers adoptivbarn fra Etiopien og særligt Bødkers digt Afrika har rørt hende i arbejdet med det, fordi det er et digt, der kredser om Cecil Bødker selv og på vestens blik på Afrika. Gæst: Ayoe Angelica, sangerinde. (41:36) Squid Game vandt både en Emmy for bedste instruktør og bedste mandelige hovedrolle til nattens amerikanske serie-prisuddeling. Og det er første gang en ikke-engelsksproget serie gør det. Sammen med forrige års Oscar-vinder Parasite og den nye Netflix-serie Extraordinary Attorney Woo går det godt for sydkoreansk film og serie og værd at holde øje med. Gæster: Kim Martin Sørensen, direktør for sitet Vi Elsker Serier og Andreas Halskov, skribent på tidsskriftet 16:9. Vært: Maja Hald. Tilrettelagt af: Søren Berggreen Toft, Morten Nørbo og Lene Grønborg Poulsen.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Born in Melrose, Massachusetts in 1882, to Henrietta Barnes and the professional baseball player, Sidney Farrar (who played in the MLB out of Philadelphia from 1883-90), Geraldine Farrar would go on to become one of the great American sopranos who also appeared in over a dozen films during the period of 1915-20. These included Cecil B. De Mille's 1915 adaptation of Georges Bizet's Carmen, as well as the role of Joan of Arc in the 1917 film, Joan the Woman. Possessing a tireless work ethic which saw her give ninety-five appearances as Madama Butterfly and fifty-eight performances as Carmen, both over the span of sixteen seasons at the Metropolitan Opera Company in New York City, Farrar counted amongst her acquaintances such distinguished individuals as David Belasco, Sarah Bernhardt, Emma Calvé, Enrico Caruso, Jean de Reszke, Maurice Grau, Lilli Lehmann, Guglielmo Marconi, Jules Massenet, Nellie Melba, Lillian Nordica, King Oscar of Sweden, Camille Saint-Saëns, Emma Thursby, Arturo Toscanini, Mark Twain, Kaiser Wilhelm II and his son, the Crown Prince Wilhelm. Having sung at the Berlin State Opera, the Monte Carlo Opera and the Metropolitan Opera Company, Farrar was known for her striking physical appearance. Farrar's young, female fans were famously known in New York as “Gerry-flappers.” Early studies occurred in Boston and later in New York City with Emma Thursby. Later studies occurred in Europe with Trabadello, Francesco Graziani and Lilli Lehmann, to whom Farrar had been recommended by Lillian Nordica. Published in 1916, just prior to her marriage to the actor, Lou Tellegen, Geraldine Farrar: The Story of an American Singercovers the singer's early years up to the age of thirty-four. Years later, in 1938, she wrote another book, The Autobiography of Geraldine Farrar: Such Sweet Compulsion. Farrar recorded extensively for the Victor Talking Machine Company and made her debut radio broadcast in 1931. In Ridgefield, Connecticut in 1967, Farrar died of heart disease at the age of eighty-five.

In Ridgefield, Connecticut in 1967, Farrar died of heart disease at the age of eighty-five.
Born in Melrose, Massachusetts in 1882, to Henrietta Barnes and the professional baseball player, Sidney Farrar (who played in the MLB out of Philadelphia from 1883-90), Geraldine Farrar would go on to become one of the great American sopranos who also appeared in over a dozen films during the period of 1915-20. These included Cecil B. De Mille's 1915 adaptation of Georges Bizet's Carmen, as well as the role of Joan of Arc in the 1917 film, Joan the Woman. Possessing a tireless work ethic which saw her give ninety-five appearances as Madama Butterfly and fifty-eight performances as Carmen, both over the span of sixteen seasons at the Metropolitan Opera Company in New York City, Farrar counted amongst her acquaintances such distinguished individuals as David Belasco, Sarah Bernhardt, Emma Calvé, Enrico Caruso, Jean de Reszke, Maurice Grau, Lilli Lehmann, Guglielmo Marconi, Jules Massenet, Nellie Melba, Lillian Nordica, King Oscar of Sweden, Camille Saint-Saëns, Emma Thursby, Arturo Toscanini, Mark Twain, Kaiser Wilhelm II and his son, the Crown Prince Wilhelm. Having sung at the Berlin State Opera, the Monte Carlo Opera and the Metropolitan Opera Company, Farrar was known for her striking physical appearance. Farrar's young, female fans were famously known in New York as “Gerry-flappers.” Early studies occurred in Boston and later in New York City with Emma Thursby. Later studies occurred in Europe with Trabadello, Francesco Graziani and Lilli Lehmann, to whom Farrar had been recommended by Lillian Nordica. Published in 1916, just prior to her marriage to the actor, Lou Tellegen, Geraldine Farrar: The Story of an American Singercovers the singer's early years up to the age of thirty-four.

Hollywood has never been particularly careful about how they portray the stories of the Bible, but in recent years the problem seems to be getting worse. It's starting to look more like a deliberate attempt to change the stories of the Bible. Today Shawn talks about why he wishes we could bring back Cecil B.
Here we have the most famous and infamous judge of the Hebrews — Samson. Bible stories make for epic movies and one of them is Cecil B. DeMille's Samson and Deliliah, 1949, starring Victor Mature as Samson and Heddy Lamarr as Delilah. Now, as usual, they took the typical Hollywood “creative licenses” and changed the story line a lot. I won't get into details and spoil the movie for you. It is entertaining and the lesson comes out loud and clear. Samson's strength was his hair. However, his weakness was women and the lust of the flesh. It leads to his downfall, but he gets to take the pagan Philistines with him. Let's dig in….

If you want to reap all the benefits of salvation including the 1-way, non-stop ticket to Heaven then… Believe. Repent. Be Baptized. Receive the Holy Spirit. Pray this prayer humbly and wholeheartedly… “Dear Lord Jesus, I know I am a sinner. I believe You died for my sins and rose from the dead. Please forgive me. Right now, I turn from my sins and open the door of my heart and my life to you. I confess You as my personal Lord and Savior. I surrender my whole life to you and I will follow you for the rest of my life. Thank You, Jesus, for saving me.

Having just taken home the Golden Globe for Best Picture and Best Director, Chloé Zhao's Nomadland feels like the film of the moment. This chronicle of American outcasts, left to wander the various badlands of the country in the aftermath of the 2008 financial collapse known as The Great Recession, is a moving and heartfelt portrait of an abandoned sect of the population, forced to fend for themselves after the severe failings of our capitalist system. While their struggles are an undeniable fact of tragedy, by taking the responsibility of their livelihoods into their own hands, these nomads flourish as triumphant heroes of their own stories. Just the continued act of survival is something worthy of praise, and director Chloé Zhao does a marvelous job blending this celebration of their individual fortitude without undercutting the inherent tragedy that placed them in this perilous scenario to begin with. Frances McDormand is a tour de force as the central character, Fern, surrounding by a cast of genuine non-actor nomads who lend the story an undeniable authenticity with their candid recitations of real life struggles. Nomadland is beautifully touching and heartfelt piece of modern Americana without ever losing the inherent sense of tragedy that compels its narrative.

Maan, Jente en Jesse zagen op Vitamine Cineville een cowboy die een cowboy nadoet, tieners die tieners spelen en een familie die een familie acteert. Hoe belandden zij vanuit het niets op het witte doek?The Rider, Rocks en La última primavera zijn drie Vitamine-films waarin je uren kan turen naar de grens tussen feit en fictie. De acteurs kruipen hier niet in de huid van iemand anders, maar spelen een filmversie van de persoon die ze al zijn: een Amerikaanse paardentrainer, een Londense tiener zonder thuis, een lid van een familie die moet verdwijnen.We hebben het in deze podcast over de makers die deze nieuwkomers naar het witte doek haalden en hun verhalen hebben opgetild uit de werkelijkheid.

The Power of Perseverance with Kathy Garver “Visionaries and creatives tend to be more emotionally sensitive.” — Dianne A. Allen 2020 has been a tough year for everybody which makes perseverance a relevant topic to talk about. Think about the hard times you opted to persevere when you had all the chance to give up. After all, what can you achieve by giving up? Winners in life don’t quit. In this week’s episode, we have Kathy Garver to share with us her journey and the importance of perseverance. Part One of ‘The Power of Perseverance with Kathy Garver’ Back in high school, Kathy started wondering what her life purpose is. Living in Los Angeles, her mother enrolled her into a singing and dance class, with the expectation of becoming the next Shirley Temple. She didn't start working professionally until she was eight. Hollywood's legendary Cecil B. DeMille was one of the first to recognize Kathy's distinct talents. Originally hired for a small part in the epic motion picture "The Ten Commandments," Kathy was noticed by the great director who had special scenes written into the movie to highlight the little girl. This followed her first film, The Night of the Hunter, directed by Academy Award winner Charles Laughton. “In the entertainment business, you have to be able to do a lot of things.” – Kathy Garver Kathy doesn't suffer from the sometimes-exaggerated maladies common to former child actors. The hardest thing is being accepted as someone who has depth. Her parents stressed education and normalcy through her childhood and during her Family Affair days, in learning to think and work independently. One of the most significant conclusions of why so many famous child stars did not make the transition from being a well-renowned personage, well-reviewed, to jumping over to success is because: One, the parents took all their money, and when they got to be 18, they didn't have anything. They were bitter and resentful. Two, they didn't have an education or any other skill sets on which to maneuver and move on to. Three, they got depressed because they weren't in the limelight anymore. They went from the cute little kid to the awkward teenager, and nobody was buying in Hollywood. The emotionality led them to drugs. It's a serious thing that happens to other child stars. Part Two of ‘The Power of Perseverance with Kathy Garver’ Kathy's parents have always been supportive but when they moved from Los Angeles to San Bernardino, her awkward transition away from the limelight turned out to be a blessing in disguise. Ms. Garver was a freshman majoring in speech at UCLA when she was tested for a television series entitled Family Affair. Kathy, deemed "perfect" to star as "Cissy" with Brian Keith as "Uncle Bill" and Sebastian Cabot as "Mr. French" performed for five years in one of the warmest and most enduring series of the 1960s and '70s. With Anissa Jones as "Buffy" and Johnny Whitaker as "Jody," the show continues to be popular today, pleasing old and new audiences worldwide – a true classic. “Be joyful every day and make the most of who you are.” – Kathy Garver Kathy is also very much in demand for her numerous vocal characterizations. She's a stand out in the very competitive field of voices overs for cartoons, commercials, toys, and audiobooks. She voiced "Pepper" an automotive whiz in the Chuck Norris Karate Kommandos series and "Firestar," a mutant superhero in the Spiderman and his Amazing Friends TV series. Ms. Garver produced, narrated, and wrote lyrics and original music for eight audio Beatrix Potter tales and eight Mother Goose based audiotapes for Smarty Pants, Inc. Kathy's Beatrix Potter tapes have sold over two million copies and have won numerous awards. Ms. Garver has also won two Audie Awards, one for her narration of The World's Shortest Stories, the other in 2004 for her direction of Amy Tan in The Opposite of Fate read by the author. Kathy has recorded books for Brilliance Audio, Dove, Listen, and Live and can be downloaded at the Timberwolfpress.com site. Her voice has been heard in Apollo 13 (which was awarded the Academy Award for sound), Ransom, Back Draft, and Jingle all the Way, all directed by Ron Howard. It takes hard work, dedication, and focus to accomplish something. No matter what your talent is, use all of them to spark inspiration in others. Be proud of yourself, no matter what circumstances you're in. Don't let your negative thoughts consume you and make you think you'll never achieve your goals. About Kathy Garver Kathy was born in Long Beach, California to Hayes and Rosemary Garver joining her sister, Beverly, and brothers, Hayes, Jr. and Lance. Beverly entered UCLA at a precocious 15 years old at the time Kathy started working professionally. During Ms. Garver’s teenage years, Kathy added radio and stage to her burgeoning film and television career. Kathy now has her own family affair. She met her husband of 33 years, business executive David Travis, on a tennis court in Palm Springs – truly a love match. Their son Reid Garver Travis, now 23, continues the tradition of show business by appearing in national commercials, TV, movies and by doing voice overs. Most fondly remembered for her starring role as “Cissy” in the long running CBS international television hit, “Family Affair”, Kathy Garver has also garnered critical acclaim in movies, stage, radio, voice-over animation, and audio book narration. Ms. Garver has used her wealth of experience and education to entertain and instruct thousands of people with her exciting and successful motivational and interactive speeches and presentations. From Keynote speaker to host to workshop leader, Kathy Garver has enriched the lives of those who have been able to listen and learn from her inspirational communications. Kathy is available for corporate events, hosting, emceeing, moderating groups, giving lectures, workshops, keynote addresses and tailoring specific programs for the needs of her clients. She includes workbooks and takes home audio albums for her clients and audience members. Today, Kathy Garver is an accomplished and versatile actress, appearing in such films as Sweet November, The Princess Diaries, MOW'S such as FBI Murders and Stay the Night with Guest Star roles on many TV shows. She is a sought-after celebrity on Game shows, winning top money for charities as she did on “Street Smarts” and other reality programs. How to Connect with Dianne A.

Telling the tale of an ancient, advanced civilization from Mars that visited Earth millenia ago, the author of this work is actually astronomer William Henry Christie, who worked at Mount Wilson Observatory. The Retreat to Mars is a precursor to more modern works, but to explain why, would only ruin the story.
Hollywood has never been particularly careful about how they portray the stories of the Bible, but in recent years the problem seems to be getting worse. It’s starting to look more like a deliberate attempt to change the stories of the Bible. Today Shawn talks about why he wishes we could bring back Cecil B.

Dr. Joan Boney, Jesus Ministries ... Do you consider little details of the Bible to be unimportant? Sometimes by knowing these things we see which preachers are antichrist so we can avoid them and save ourselves from such. This is really critical to us! Also we can often identify counterfeit Christians when that person says they are Christian but they don't care what Bible says and they consider it really doesn't matter. I was engaged to a man who said he was a Christian but he showed he didn't think details in Bible mattered. I was saved from what would have been a very bad marriage with a false Christian. It ended up he got some of his Bible training from movie director Cecil B. DE Milles' movies, and the information was false, and Howard didn't care that it was contrary to Bible. A marriage to him would have been disastrous for me. ( Click here for podcast and to see scriptures )

Titled Aya to Majo (Aya and the Witch), the movie will air on NHK in Japan this winter. Earwig is an orphan girl who has lived at St. Morwald's Home for Children ever since she was a baby, but all of that changes the day that she is adopted by a mysterious woman named Bella Yaga, who turns out to be a terrible witch and brings Earwig to live in her home of supernatural trinkets. With help from a talking cat, Earwig must use her wits to survive in her new magical surroundings. The colourful carousel of images sees a digression from the traditional, hand-drawn animation that Studio Ghibli is well-renowned for. Instead, this feature has opted for a new kind of art style with an entirely 3D computer-generated story that centres around Earwig, the young girl with the broomstick. Hayao Miyazaki is overseeing the adaptation’s planning, while his son Goro, who helmed From Up On Poppy Hill, is directing. Toshio Suzuki is producing.21 June 2020 – Lilo & Stitch turns 18 - https://comicbook.com/movies/news/lilo-and-stitch-fans-celebrate-anniversary-twitter-trend/18 years ago, Lilo & Stitch hit theaters, spawning a franchise still beloved by Disney fans all these years later. After grossing $273.1 million at the box office for Walt Disney animation, the fan-favorite animated feature went on to introduce three more movies and a television series. A year after its release, the Stitch-centric Stitch! The Movie hit theaters and two years after that, Lilo & Stich 2: Stitch Has a Glitch made its way to the masses. The franchise then ended with Leroy & Stitch and Lilo & Stitch: The Series, both of which set sail in 2006. More recently, however, new reports have surfaced that say Disney+ is now developing a hybrid live-action/CGI remake for the platform. Prior to any coronavirus shutdowns, the film was reported to start production later this year. No further information has been released about the project as of now.22 June 2020 – Kurt Cobain's MTV Unplugged guitar sells to Australian for record $9m - https://www.abc.net.au/news/2020-06-22/kurt-cobains-guitar-bought-by-australian-for-9-million/12379316An Australian businessman hopes his purchase of music icon Kurt Cobain's acoustic guitar could help boost the struggling global music industry. The 1959 Martin D-18E guitar was played by Cobain during his 1993 MTV Unplugged performance in New York. It now holds the record for being the most expensive guitar in the world after being purchased by the founder of Rode Microphones, Peter Freedman, for $US6 million ($8.8 million). Mr Freedman plans to display the guitar on a worldwide tour, the proceeds of which will go back to the performing arts sector. "I did it to highlight the massive crisis in the arts," he told ABC Radio Brisbane. "I've got the attention of government, I've got the attention of everyone asking me why I did it." "Musos and entertainers get nothing — it's as though they don't exist," he said. His main motivation is to lobby on behalf of musicians in countries like as Germany, the UK and Australia. "The money that comes from it mightn't be much, but it's the focus on governments, and the effects of this will last forever if I do it right," Mr Freedman."It's not the money we need, it's the people, the support.23 June 2020 – Joel Schumacher passes away at 80 - https://www.abc.net.au/news/2020-06-23/filmmaker-joel-schumacher-dies-at-80/12383008The man behind the flamboyant reinvention of Hollywood's Batman franchise, Joel Schumacher has died. From a job dressing department store windows to costume design for Woody Allen's 1970s movies Interiors and Sleeper, the New Yorker made his mark on the big screen in 1985 with the coming-of-age movie St Elmo's Fire. That project launched the careers of the Brat Pack — Rob Lowe, Demi Moore, Emilio Estevez and Ally Sheedy — and had the movie industry clamouring for more of Schumacher's brilliance. The Lost Boys, Flatliners, John Grisham adaptations The Client and A Time to Kill and the critically acclaimed Falling Down followed. Audiences loved Schumacher's overly dramatic and exuberant Batman Forever in 1995, but panned its follow-up, Batman & Robin in 1997. After theBatman films, Schumacher pulled back from blockbusters and returned to making minimalist films such as Tigerland and Phone Booth, both earning positive reviews. He also directed The Phantom of the Opera , The Number 23, and two episodes of House of Cards. He died from cancer in New York City.24 June 2020 – Segway ends production - https://www.abc.net.au/news/2020-06-24/segway-ends-production-of-vehicle-falls/12386530Segway is ending the production of its namesake vehicle. The two-wheeled personal transporter, which the company boldly claimed would revolutionise the way people got around, will be retired on July 15. While used by tourists and some police forces, the vehicle also became known for high-profile crashes. It even resulted in the death of a former Segway company president, who drove one off a cliff in 2009. The company said 21 employees would be laid off, another 12 employees would stay on for two months to a year, and five would remain at the Bedford, New Hampshire facility. The transportation revolution that inventor Dean Kamen envisioned when he founded the company in 1999 never took off. The Segway's original price tag of around $US5,000 was a hurdle for many customers. It was also challenging to ride, because the rider had to be balanced at a specific angle for the vehicle to move forward. If the rider's weight shifted too much in any direction, it could easily spin out of control and throw the rider off. They were banned in some cities because users could easily lose control if they were not balanced properly. In 2017, Segway got into the scooter business, just as the light, inexpensive and easy-to-ride two-wheelers took over urban streets. It comes after decades of high-profile falls, viral videos and even the death of a former company owner.23 June 2020 – Deus Ex turns 20- https://techraptor.net/gaming/features/deus-ex-20th-anniversary-nameless-mod-retrospective- https://www.techradar.com/au/news/deus-ex-20th-anniversary-programmer-scott-martin-talks-about-working-on-the-pc-gaming-masterpieceIf a game came out today that depicted a world ravaged by a viral outbreak, dehumanized by capitalism, in the throes of mass public riots, gripped by anti-government sentiment, and witnessing the progressive breakdown of American society amid the rise of China as an autonomous superpower, you might think it was too on-the-nose. Twenty years ago however, it was simply the setting of a radical, and somewhat prophetic video game, called Deus Ex. Directed by System Shock producer Warren Spector and designed by future Dishonored creative director Harvey Smith, Deus Ex represented a profound leap in both storytelling and mechanical depth for first-person video games. The game placed players in the role of J.C. Denton, a cybernetically augmented United Nations Anti-Terrorism agent who gradually unravels a web of conspiracies gripping the dark cyberpunk future of 2052. Its sprawling world was dense with philosophical questions, conflicted morality, deep characters, and all the ingredients that make an instant classic; its character customization system and resulting player freedom is still imitated today. It’s success spawned a lukewarm sequel in 2003 withInvisible War, and then a successful revival in 2011 with the prequel Human Revolution and its own sequel in 2016,Mankind Divided. The original game is fondly remembered in PC gaming communities with the meme, “every time you mention it, someone will install it.”. Seven years after its release, Deus Ex served as the basis for one of the most impressive mods of its generation, known only as The Nameless Mod. Reflecting on the original Deus Ex's revered place in PC gaming history, Scott Martin one of the only three programmers tasked with coding the entire game using the very first Unreal Engine, keeps it humble. "I feel honored and privileged to have worked on the game," he said, "and happy that so many people still remember it fondly after all this time!"Remembrances22 June 1965 – David O. Selznick - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/David_O._SelznickAmerican film producer, screenwriter and film studio executive. He is best known for producing Gone with the Wind (1939) and Rebecca (1940), each earning him an Academy Award for Best Picture. In 1926, Selznick moved to Hollywood, and with the help of his father's connections, he gained a job as an assistant story editor at Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer. He left MGM for Paramount Pictures in 1928, where he worked until 1931, when he joined RKO as Head of Production. His years at RKO were fruitful, and he worked on many films, including A Bill of Divorcement , Rockabye,Bird of Paradise, and King Kong. Despite his output of successful movies at MGM,Paramount Pictures, and RKO Pictures, Selznick longed to be an independent producer with his own studio. In 1935 he formed Selznick International Pictures, and distributed his films through United Artists. His successes continued with classics such as, A Star Is Born , The Adventures of Tom Sawyer, and Gone with the Wind , which remains the highest-grossing film of all time (adjusted for inflation). Gone with the Wind won eight Oscars and two special awards. He produced his second Best Picture Oscar winner in a row, Rebecca , the first Hollywood production of British director Alfred Hitchcock. Selznick had brought Hitchcock over from England, launching the director's American career. Rebecca was Hitchcock's only film to win Best Picture. Gone with the Wind overshadowed the rest of Selznick's career. Later, he was convinced that he had wasted his life trying to outdo it. The closest he came to matching the film was with Duel in the Sun. With a huge budget, the film is known for causing moral upheaval because of the then risqué script written by Selznick. The film would be a major success. The film was the second highest-grossing film of 1947 and was the first movie that Martin Scorsese saw, inspiring Scorsese's own directorial career. He died from heart attack at the age of 63 in Hollywood, California.22 June 1969 – Judy Garland - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Judy_GarlandBorn Frances Ethel Gumm, American actress, singer, and dancer. During a career that spanned 45 years, she attained international stardom as an actress in both musical and dramatic roles, as a recording artist, and on the concert stage. Garland began performing in vaudeville as a child with her two older sisters and was later signed to Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer as a teenager. She appeared in more than two dozen films for MGM and is remembered for portraying Dorothy Gale in The Wizard of Oz. Garland was a frequent on-screen partner of both Mickey Rooney and Gene Kelly. Although her film career became intermittent thereafter, two of Garland's most critically acclaimed performances came later in her career: she received a nomination for the Academy Award for Best Actress for her performance in A Star Is Born (1954) and a nomination for Best Supporting Actress for her role in Judgment at Nuremberg. At age 39, Garland became the youngest and first female recipient of the Cecil B. DeMille Award for lifetime achievement in the film industry. In 1997, Garland was posthumously awarded a Grammy Lifetime Achievement Award. Several of her recordings have been inducted into the Grammy Hall of Fame, and in 1999, the American Film Institute placed her among the 10 greatest female stars of classic American cinema. She died from Barbiturate overdose at the age of 47 in London.22 June 1990 – Ilya Frank - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ilya_FrankIlya Mikhailovich Frank, Soviet winner of the Nobel Prize for Physics in 1958 jointly with Pavel Alekseyevich Cherenkov and Igor Y. Tamm, also of the Soviet Union. He received the award for his work in explaining the phenomenon of Cherenkov radiation. In 1934, Frank moved to the Institute of Physics and Mathematics of the USSR Academy of Sciences . Here he started working on nuclear physics, a new field for him. He became interested in the effect discovered by Pavel Cherenkov, that charged particles moving through water at high speeds emit light. Together with Igor Tamm, he developed a theoretical explanation: the effect occurs when charged particles travel through an optically transparent medium at speeds greater than the speed of light in that medium, causing a shock wave in the electromagnetic field. The amount of energy radiated in this process is given by the Frank–Tamm formula. The discovery and explanation of the effect resulted in the development of new methods for detecting and measuring the velocity of high-speed nuclear particles and became of great importance for research in nuclear physics. Cherenkov radiation is also widely used in biomedical research for detection of radioactive isotopes. He died at the age of 81 in Moscow.Famous Birthdays22 June 1834 – William Chester Minor - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/William_Chester_MinorAlso known as W. C. Minor, American army surgeon and one of the largest contributors of quotations to the Oxford English Dictionary. He was also held in a psychiatric hospital from 1872 to 1910 after he murdered George Merrett. It was probably through his correspondence with the London booksellers that he heard of the call for volunteers for what was to become the Oxford English Dictionary (OED). He devoted most of the remainder of his life to that work. He became one of the project's most effective volunteers, reading through his large personal library of antiquarian books and compiling quotations that illustrated the way particular words were used. He was often visited by the widow of the man he had killed, and she provided him with further books. The compilers of the dictionary published lists of words for which they wanted examples of usage. Minor provided these, with increasing ease as the lists grew. It was many years before the OED's editor, Dr. James Murray, learned Minor's background history, and visited him in January 1891. In 1899 Murray paid compliment to Minor's enormous contributions to the dictionary, stating, "we could easily illustrate the last four centuries from his quotations alone." He was born in Ceylon22 June 1898 – Erich Maria Remarque - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Erich_Maria_RemarqueBorn Erich Paul Remark, 20th-century German novelist. His landmark novel All Quiet on the Western Front (1928), about the German military experience of World War I, was an international best-seller which created a new literary genre, and was subsequently made into the film All Quiet on the Western Front. Remarque had made his first attempts at writing at the age of 16. Among them were essays, poems, and the beginnings of a novel that was finished later and published in 1920 as The Dream Room (Die Traumbude). All Quiet on the Western Front (Im Westen nichts Neues) (1929), his career defining work, was written in 1927. Remarque was at first unable to find a publisher for it. Its text described the experiences of German soldiers during World War I. On publication it became an international bestseller and a landmark work in twentieth-century literature. It inspired a new genre of veterans writing about conflict, and the commercial publication of a wide variety of war memoirs. It also inspired dramatic representations of the war in theatre and cinema, in Germany as well as in countries that had fought in the conflict against the German Empire, particularly the United Kingdom and the United States of America. Remarque continued to write about the German experience after WWI. His next novel, Three Comrades (Drei Kameraden), spans the years of the Weimar Republic, from the hyperinflation of 1923 to the end of the decade. His fourth novel, Flotsam (in German titled Liebe deinen Nächsten, or Love Thy Neighbour), first appeared in a serial version in English in 1939. His next work, the novel Arch of Triumph, was first published in 1945 in English, and the next year in German as Arc de Triomphe. Another instant bestseller, it reached worldwide sales of nearly five million. His final novel was Shadows in Paradise. He as born in Osnabrück,German Empire.22 June 1899 – Richard Gurley Drew - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Richard_Gurley_DrewAmerican inventor who worked for Johnson and Johnson, Permacel Co., and 3M in St. Paul, Minnesota, where he invented masking tape and cellophane tape. While testing their new Wetordry sandpaper at auto shops, Drew was intrigued to learn that the two-tone auto paint jobs so popular in the Roaring Twenties were difficult to manage at the border between the two colors. In response, after two years of work in 3M's labs, Drew invented the first masking tape, a two-inch-wide tan paper strip backed with a light, pressure-sensitive adhesive. The first tape had adhesive along its edges but not in the middle. In its first trial run, it fell off the car and the frustrated auto painter growled at Drew, "take this tape back to those Scotch bosses of yours and tell them to put more adhesive on it!" (By "Scotch," he meant "cheap".) The nickname stuck, both to Drew's improved masking tape, and to his 1930 invention, Scotch Brand cellulose tape. In 1930 he came up with the world's first transparent cellophane adhesive tape (called sellotape in the UK and Scotch tape in the United States). During the Great Depression, people began using Scotch tape to repair items rather than replace them. This was the beginning of 3M’s diversification into all manner of marketplaces and helped them to flourish in spite of the Great Depression. He was born in Saint Paul, Minnesota.22 June 1958 – Bruce Campbell - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bruce_CampbellBruce Lorne Campbell, American actor, voice actor, producer, writer and director.

A panel of theologians, consisting of Melchior Inchofer, Agostino Oreggi and Zaccaria Pasqualigo, reported on the Dialogue. Their opinions were strongly argued in favour of the view that the Dialogue taught the Copernican theory. Galileo was found guilty, and the sentence of the Inquisition, issued on 22 June 1633, was in three essential parts:Galileo was found "vehemently suspect of heresy", namely of having held the opinions that the Sun lies motionless at the center of the universe, that the Earth is not at its centre and moves, and that one may hold and defend an opinion as probable after it has been declared contrary to Holy Scripture. He was required to "abjure, curse, and detest" those opinions.He was sentenced to formal imprisonment at the pleasure of the Inquisition. On the following day this was commuted to house arrest, which he remained under for the rest of his life.His offending Dialogue was banned; and in an action not announced at the trial, publication of any of his works was forbidden, including any he might write in the future.22 June 1978 – End of the World came in theatres in Columbia - https://www.scifihistory.net/june-22.htmlOn this day in 1978 (in Colombia), End of the World served up yet one Apocalyptic-themed SciFi/Thriller. The feature film starred Christopher Lee (in a dual role) and Sue Lyon, and here's the premise as cited "After witnessing a man's death in a bizarre accident, Father Pergado goes on a spiritual retreat, where he encounters his alien double bent on world conquest." For no apparent reason, French distributors cut the movie down to one hour and fifteen minutes for its French theatrical release, Sir Christopher Lee only appearing in its prologue and its conclusion. Sir Christopher Lee has said about this movie: "Some of the films I've been in I regret making. I got conned into making these pictures in almost every case by people who lied to me. Some years ago, I got a call from my producers saying that they were sending me a script and that five very distinguished American actors were also going to be in the film. Actors like José Ferrer, Dean Jagger, and John Carradine. So I thought "Well, that's all right by me". But it turned out it was a complete lie. Appropriately, the film was called End Of The World."22 June 1978 – Charon, the first of Pluto's satellites to be discovered, was first seen at the United States Naval Observatory by James W. Christy. - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Charon_(moon)#DiscoveryOn June 22, 1978, he had been examining highly magnified images of Pluto on photographic plates taken with the telescope two months prior. Christy noticed that a slight elongation appeared periodically. The blob seemed to move around Pluto. The direction of elongation cycled back and forth over 6.39 days―Pluto's rotation period. Searching through their archives of Pluto images taken years before, Christy found more cases where Pluto appeared elongated. Additional images confirmed he had discovered the first known moon of Pluto. The International Astronomical Union formally announced Christy's discovery to the world on July 7, 1978. After its discovery, Charon was originally known by the temporary designation S/1978 P 1, according to the then recently instituted convention. On June 24, 1978, Christy first suggested the name Charon as a scientific-sounding version of his wife Charlene's nickname, "Char".IntroArtist – Goblins from MarsSong Title – Super Mario - Overworld Theme (GFM Trap Remix)Song Link -https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-GNMe6kF0j0&index=4&list=PLHmTsVREU3Ar1AJWkimkl6Pux3R5PB-QJFollow us onFacebook- Page - https://www.facebook.com/NerdsAmalgamated/- Group - https://www.facebook.com/groups/440485136816406/Twitter - https://twitter.com/NAmalgamatedSpotify - https://open.spotify.com/show/6Nux69rftdBeeEXwD8GXrSiTunes -https://itunes.apple.com/au/podcast/top-shelf-nerds/id1347661094RSS -http://www.thatsnotcanonproductions.com/topshelfnerdspodcast?format=rssInstagram - https://www.instagram.com/nerds_amalgamated/Email - Nerds.Amalgamated@gmail.comSupport via Podhero- https://podhero.com/podcast/449127/nerds-amalgamatedRate & Review us on Podchaser - https://www.podchaser.com/podcasts/nerds-amalgamated-623195
