It supports discovery research (also called early-stage, basic or fundamental research), by funding scientific ideas at the very start of the research journey, and by supporting scientists who ask bold, challenging questions about how cancer works.

(meta data) TITLE: Cancer Research Strategy | Worldwide Cancer Research

(meta data) PUBLISHER: https://www.facebook.com/worldwidecancerresearch

Our vision is to see a day where no life is cut short by cancer.

We believe this can only be achieved through research.

Our mission is to kick-start the life-saving advances of the future by sowing the seeds of new discoveries today.

We sit at the very start of the research journey, backing brand new ideas and supporting scientists to ask big, challenging, new questions about how cancer works.

We have a history of recognising innovative scientific ideas that have the chance to revolutionise cancer medicine.

We were founded 40 years ago to support brand new avenues of research and allow scientists to take intellectual risks in exploring challenging new concepts and approaches.

But we still have much to learn about cancer and that is what we continue to do to this day.

Our supporters give to us because they trust us as an organisation to deliver on our vision – however challenging that may be.

Our Research Strategy sets out five strategic aims that guide the decisions we make towards achieving our vision.

### We will recognise and support daring and innovative science

We were founded on the principle that we would support research that seeks to answer the difficult questions in cancer biology.

We are looking for innovative and truly novel ideas that have the potential to revolutionise our understanding of cancer and how to beat it.

We support discovery research (often called 'basic and translational') but do not prioritise any field of research within this; we welcome research that draws on epidemiological, behavioural and clinical data to provide a starting point for a new avenue of research.

Multidisciplinary or discipline-hopping projects are encouraged where this helps stimulate innovation.

We will support any researcher with a brilliant idea, no matter where in the world they are based.

### We will search for the answers to cancer that are desperately needed

To back the best ideas we can, we take an unbiased approach to funding and cast the net as widely as possible.

One of our founding principles is to tackle the unmet need in cancer research.

This means we are looking to support research that; explores brand new concepts and approaches; advances our understanding of cancer with the potential to open up new areas of cancer research; and establishes the first step in a research journey that could one day provide new and better ways to prevent, diagnose and treat cancer.

Our unbiased approach means that we will support research tackling any or all types of cancer, recognising that the greatest advances in cancer research often impact on more than one type and that cancer research should not be artificially limited.

We encourage research into cancers that desperately need it – where outcomes for patients are low or haven't seen significant improvement.

### We will invest at least £4 million in research each year, and grow that investment every year

Our current annual investment in new research projects is around £4 million.

This means that we can only fund some of the brilliant ideas put forward by researchers.

Our goal is to grow this investment every year so that no brilliant idea is lost.

### We will fund research that kick-starts clinical trials

Our focus on discovery research, and helping scientists to explore brand new concepts and approaches, sets in motion the journey towards clinical trials, and ultimately, new tests and treatments that impact the lives of people with cancer.

By kick-starting new avenues of research all over the world, we have already seeded medical advances that are saving lives today, and we will continue doing that for the future.

Success from a Worldwide Cancer Research grant is the generation of the solid initial findings required to secure downstream funding from other sources.

### We will help to increase cancer survival rates

In the 40 years since we started funding research, cancer survival rates have doubled.

But nearly 10 million people still die every year from cancer.

And while some cancers have seen dramatic improvements in survival, others have not.

By funding the most innovative, exciting and daring research all over the world, we will ensure that survival rates continue to improve for all cancers.

To help us fulfil the aims of our Research Strategy, and to ensure we realise our vision, we are looking for projects that meet the following criteria:

We are looking for research that takes intellectual risks to tell us something new about cancer or how it could be prevented, diagnosed or treated.

We fund truly new ideas, often those that other funders may overlook.

We want to make the most of our supporters' generous donations by funding standalone research projects that tackle a novel idea.

Projects should seek to answer a new and focused research question, not be an incremental piece of research tied to a larger programme grant.

We support blue-sky thinking in research and want to direct funding towards projects that could transform an area of cancer research or one day have a major impact on the lives of people with cancer.

However we recognise that important discoveries take time to bear fruit and that it may be many years before the research leads to lives saved or improved.

We want to see the most creative and exciting ideas, but we are also responsible stewards of our supporters' donations.

We need to see robust scientific reasoning and appropriate solid methodology to back it up.

The aims of a project should be feasible with the time and resources requested, and with the expertise of the research team.

A more detailed description of the Worldwide Cancer Research funding remit, grant assessment processes and grant terms and conditions can be found in the grant application handbook.

Worldwide Cancer Research is Scotland’s only  cancer research charity. A small charity with a big reach, it funds bold, discovery research worldwide that kick-starts cures for cancer.
 The team of 40 currently works to fund £4 million of cancer research around the world every year – raised entirely from donations. Its stated vision is to see a world where no life is cut short by cancer.
 Established in 1979, Worldwide Cancer Research has awarded over £180 million in research grants in 34 different countries.


John Norman (born May 5, 1966 Terrell, Texas) is an American graphic designer and advertising executive, currently the Chief Creative Officer of Translation LLC in New York City.

# My career in 5 executions: Translation's John Norman

From HP picture frames to Nike's World Cup anthem, Translation's CCO never tires of thinking about the human condition.

Name: John NormanTitle: Partner/Chief Creative Officer at TranslationYears in ad industry: 20+First job in ad industry: Wieden + Kennedy Amsterdam

John Norman has always made things—drawing to impress other kids or working his way through college as a carpenter.

At university in Texas, he studied fine art with legendary professor Rob Lawton, who later founded The Creative Circus and was inducted into the One Club Hall of Fame the same day as Steve Jobs.

"I owe my approach to problem-solving and the transformative power of typography to him," Norman says.

After school, Norman worked as a graphic designer in Dallas.

This was the '80s, so "we had to draw our ideas freehand," he says.

"Brain to paper usually captures more humanity than brain to pixel."

He spent time working in-house for brands like Benneton and Nike.

But agency life began at Wieden+Kennedy Amsterdam, which he'd gotten to know while working at the sneaker company.

A gig at Hewlett-Packard led to a position at Goodby Silverstein & Partners, before he took the chief creative officer position at The Martin Agency in 2009.

In 2012, Norman became CCO of TBWA\Chiat\Day LA, and two years later, he joined Translation, after a year of being recruited by founder and CEO Steve Stoute.

"I think art in advertising, particularly the art of telling a good story, is crucial," Norman says.

"When you are telling me about your brand—whether it's razors or sneakers or beer—make me laugh, let me see myself in the product, make me cry.

We are humans, and we never get tired of thinking about the human condition—even when we interact with the brands we favor."

Here are the 5 executions Norman says define his career.

Client: NikeBrand: Air HuaracheAgency: Nike DesignWork: "Air Huarache logo"Year: 1992

In the four years he spent at Nike Design, Norman created the original logo for the typically Swoosh-less Air Huarache, as well as several other shoes.

Inspired by the woven sandal from Mexico, the technology and style Nike created has lasted more than 20 years, and the Huarache is still in production, and popular.

"I learned a lifelong principle that every great idea, no matter the medium or industry, should resonate from a cultural, human, or product truth," Norman says.

"If that is right, all the disciplines can serve one creative idea with one consistent message."

The Nike team presented Dan Wieden and David Kennedy with the assets they had created, so the agency could use them in the ad campaign, Norman notes wryly.

Client: HPBrand: Hewlett-Packard EnterpriseAgency: Goodby Silverstein & PartnersWork: "Picture Book"Year: 2000-04

Norman landed a gig as a permalancer for Hewlett-Packard before joining GS&P as a creative director.

The agency team, which included Rich Silverstein, was looking to position HP as a challenger to the dominant IBM, and that gave Norman the opportunity to apply his design training—visual storytelling and conceptual thinking.

"I learned that a creative environment requires fostering the freedom to fail, raw uninhibited imagination to nurture the thing someone is great at doing, and welcoming an environment for entrepreneurial behavior to breathe," he says.

The campaign ran for several years, and the "Picture Book" spot won the NY Art Directors Club Vision Award, thanks in large part to the visuals François Vogel had created from a simple board explaining the concept of the spot.

"I still have the CD of his tests," Norman says.

Client: Coca-ColaAgency: Wieden + Kennedy AmsterdamWork: "Happiness Factory"Year: 2006

Coca-Cola was Norman's first-ever pitch at an agency—as ECD at W+K Amsterdam—and it became his first big win.

The idea the team came up with was so adaptable that it turned into a long-term asset.

"You could keep creating contextual stories ad infinitum because it was an imaginary world that lived inside the Coke machine," he says.

"The main lesson here was to keep it simple, and stay true to the brand: a cold Coke can make you happy for a few minutes and give you a little bit of joy in a long afternoon, which might allow you to be a little more optimistic about your life."

Like with HP, creating a spot for Coca-Cola afforded Norman a global stage, and that second win proved the first hadn't been a fluke.

Client: NikeBrand: Nike World Cup footballAgency: Wieden + Kennedy AmsterdamWork: "Write the Future"Year: 2010

Nike's World Cup campaign was two-and-a-half years in the making.

The brand was up against Adidas, during an event guaranteed to draw one of the largest audiences in history.

"To win the long game," Norman says, "they had to beat them at their own game—technical football, true performance-style football."

As usual, Norman sought out the human truth in the story they were trying to tell.

"In a football game you want the best shoe and gear, because on this stage, in a split-second you can be a hero or zero."

Taglines evolved from "Be the Difference" to "Make the Difference" and finally to "Write the Future."

"Your first idea is not always your best," Norman says.

Client: NBAAgency: TranslationWork: "Breaking Barriers"Year: 2015-16

Now at Translation, formerly a multicultural agency turned general market shop, Norman was tasked with showing how the NBA had been a change maker throughout history.

The resulting spot spanned from the integration of the league to firsts from African-American, female and LGBT players, coaches, owners and referees, and was timed for Martin Luther King Day.

"In the end, it always comes down to sports for me," Norman says.

Basketball helped him focus his energies as a child growing up in poverty, raised by his grandmother in Texas.

"The relationship between athletes, the majesty of sport—whether it's the Olympic Games or NBA basketball—and the human condition, remains the perfect venue to capture people's attention and tell great brand truths."

Collection ponds were built along the south side of the river, one of which still exists at Storybook Gardens.

(meta data) TITLE: Springbank Parks Waterworks Dam Ruins – Abandoned Canada

(meta data) PUBLISHED DATETIME: 2015-06-20

#### Springbank Parks Waterworks Dam Ruins

There are many hidden gems all along the banks of the Thames River in London Ontario, some are obvious and some are more subtle and you have to look carefully.

Today's exploration destination was an old abandoned dam ruins along the Thames known as the Waterworks dam located in Springbank Park.

London was in need of a heathier and stable water infrastructure and it was decided that a natural spring along the Thames River banks (hence the parks name Springbank) would be perfect to provide clean water to its residents.

The water from the springs was stored in small collection ponds, one of which still exists behind Story Book Gardens.

The London Water Works Dam and Pumphouse was built in 1878 to harness the hydraulic power of the Thames and pump water from these small collection ponds up to a reservoir located at the top of the hill high above the pumphouse and dam.

From this point natural gravity would distribute water to key points within London

This was the Start of Springbank Park as we know today and it soon became a popular destination point for Londoners to picnic and spend their leisure time, back then it was referred to as Chestnut Park.

In 1881 a second building was built behind the first building to house a steam powered pump for backup.

In 1894 a third building was added to connect the two original structures and make one large building.

This pumphouse was in use right until 1967 when water from the great lakes became available, the pumphouse building was abandoned shortly thereafter.

Over the years due to flooding and neglect, the abandoned Waterworks Dam has fallen into ruin.

However you can see much of the original dam structure on both the north and south shores of the Thames River.

In 1978 to commemorate the 100 year anniversary of the Springbank water works pumphouse and Dam, the building was restore and a commemorative plaque was added.

Only a small portion of the building is used today for public washrooms the rest is abandoned.

Here are a couple of other historical facts about the Springbank dam ruins that are very interesting.

In 1883 only 2 years after the steam ferry disaster that claimed the lives of 182 people just up the river, flooding from heavy rain swept the Princess Louise Ferry over the dam killing 7 people.

In 1899 the propeller boat "Thames" caught on fire and sank just feet in front of the Waterworks Dam.

In 1897 Joseph Saunby, who owned the Blackfriars mill upstream from the dam, filed a successful lawsuit against the London Water Commission for raising the water level too high and interfering with his mills water wheel.

# Exploring The Remains Of An Old Sawmil

In our latest YouTube video we explore the ruins of an old sawmill located in Chesely Ontario along the banks of the North Saugeen River.

The location of these old sawmill ruins can be found on our abandoned places in Ontario Map.

# Abandoned Saw Mill Ruins in Chesley Ontario

Was out exploring last week and thought I would go and check out the old abandoned Krug Brothers saw mill ruins along the banks of North Saugeen River in Chesley Ontario.

Its quit amazing what is still left to see!

I have explored many old mill ruins along many river banks and usually for the most part all that is left to see are stone or brick foundations.

At the location of the Abandoned Krug Brother Saw mill there are still many gears and shafts and inner workings quit visible.

The saw mill was built in 1891 and on the opposite side of the river is also where the Krug Brothers had their original furniture factory, the buildings are long gone but many stone foundations and some rusting abandoned equipment still remain along the river banks.

There is an old abandoned bridge that easily allows you to cross the river to explore both sides.

The complex was massive and they also had their own kiln on site to dry their own wood.

There was tram system in place that criss crossed over the river to keep the operation running smoothly.

The complex was closed in 1910 when they moved the operation to a larger more modern building along the rail-way line.

The location of these saw mill ruins and old Krug Brothers Furniture Factory ruins can be found on our abandoned places in Ontario Map.

Exploring An Abandoned Water Park in Ontario

In the late 19th century, London, Ontario had a population of roughly 19,000 people  and was rapidly becoming a larger and larger city. Future growth the City of London was guaranteed after a new water supply was secured at the fresh water springs near the village of Byron (today a part of London) on the southern banks of the river in 1878. The construction of the hydraulic-driven pumphouse and a small reservoir on Chestnut Hill (today Reservoir Hill in Byron) led to the establishment of Waterworks Park, today known as Springbank Park, a long stretch of picnic and recreational area along the southern shore of the Thames River in Byron. The completion of the London Waterworks System in 1878, by building a dam at the park, had the effect of raising the water in the river upstream, and thus provided a beautiful stretch of some four miles of the park to be used for boating purposes.

Gaston Rebry was tireless in attacking the field until he had reduced the lead group to three: Andé Leducq, Jean Aerts and himself.

After a few kilometers Aerts fell off the pace.

Fifteen kilometers from the finish, Leducq suffered a slow leak.

Twice he had to stop to reinflate his tire and of course Rebry, "The Bulldog", didn't wait for the fast-sprinting Frenchman.

Rebry earned his third Paris-Roubaix victory, tying Octave Lapize.

This album describes John Craigie's life as a traveling musician and explores the sense of home that he found in Portland after moving from Los Angeles.

(meta data) TITLE: Album Review: John Craigie – No Rain, No Rose – Mother Church Pew

# Album Review: John Craigie – No Rain, No Rose

There's an old Buddhist saying, "No mud, no lotus," which refers to the idea that bad things are necessary in order to make the good things.

Folk musicmaker John Craigie has distilled that wisdom into a new studio album, No Rain, No Rose, the title of which pays tribute to his adopted hometown and the City of Roses itself, Portland, Oregon.

No Rain, No Rose represents a shift in Craigie's life typical solo acoustic style, as well as a transition in his life.

The time-tested troubadour pushed the boundaries of his sound, using the environment provided in the living room of the old Victorian in which he lives, as friends dropped by to sing or play—a roster which includes The Shook Twins, Gregory Alan Isakov, Tyler Thompson, and Jay Cobb Anderson.

The laid-back feel and the banter captured between takes virtually brings us into the living album with them, and makes us a part of the creative experience.

Craigie has said, "Music is not about making you feel better.

It's about making you feel that you're not alone."

This album does just that, lyrically exploring the feelings and struggles we all have in a way that will make you laugh and cry, all within the same song.

With album opener "Virgin Guitar," about the challenges and joys of living the lifestyle of a traveling songwriter, Craigie paints a portrait with stunning poetic imagery, and treats us to bluegrass twang with "Broken."

Rollicking album standout, "Bucketlist Grandmas" feels like a Highway 61 Revisited tribute, featuring heavy electric guitar work in a twelve bar blues format.

"I weep when I'm alone, I smile through the rest, I laugh because I know the truth, every light is surrounded by darkness," he sings, as he challenges the false personas surrounding a musician's lifestyle, which really is one of loneliness and sacrifice.

Craigie pays homage to astronaut Michael Collins, the third, mostly overlooked member of the Apollo 11 moon landing, in a song of the same name.

Collins never set foot on the surface, instead, remained in the shuttle as it orbited the moon during the famed landing.

The chorus rings out, "Sometimes we take the fame, sometimes we sit backstage, but if it weren't for me them boys would still be there," in this playful portrayal of the misfortune of poor Michael Collins and his lack of acknowledgement for the feat of the moon landing.

On album standout, "I am California," Craigie takes a somber turn; each verse speaks of sorrow and remorse as the chorus turns to a cry from his native and beloved California.

"So drink all my wine, cut all my trees, make love on my beaches, smoke all my weed.

I am California can't you see, wherever you roam, You'll always want me," a personified California cries, pointing out how we use those things to make us feel good, to chase our muse in a vicious cycle of only longing for more, when all reality all we ever wanted was a sense of home—a wonderfully poetic song with unrivaled depth on the record.

Sometimes we must leave what we love behind in order to discover what really matters.

No Rain, No Rose is a masterwork in every aspect—the songs bear truth, relate the stories of the common human experience, and make us feel like we aren't alone in this world.

Craigie embraces the questions and examines the crossroads that life so often presents with honesty and bravery.

The world needs more songs and artists like him.

# Photographer behind 9/11 "Falling Man" retraces steps, recalls "unknown soldier"

By Joe Pompeo, Yahoo! News | Yahoo! 9/11 10th Anniversary – Mon, Aug 29, 2011

Richard Drew put down his camera bag and looked up at the colossal skyscraper that seemed to be racing toward the clouds at an accelerated clip."I'm really surprised how fast this building's gone up," he said of the rising edifice at 1 World Trade Center, peering at the monolith from beneath the brim of a tan baseball cap.

"I just hope it isn't another target."It was around 2 p.m. on a bright Wednesday afternoon in mid-July, and Drew, a veteran Associated Press photographer with wire-rimmed glasses and a neatly cropped silver beard that betrays his 64 years, was standing near the northwest intersection of Vesey and West streets in Lower Manhattan, across from the noisy jungle gym of cranes and steel where a global business hub is currently being reconstructed.

Nine years and eight months earlier in this very spot -- now an austere pedestrian plaza in the shadow of the Goldman Sachs building -- Drew took a picture that became one of the most iconic images of one of the most catastrophic events in American history.[ Photo gallery: More of Richard Drew's photography from 9/11 ]"I don't like coming down here," he admitted.

But he had nevertheless returned to retrace his steps for the first time since Sept. 11, 2001, when he had watched dozens die through the lens of a Nikon DCS620.

On that similarly brilliant morning a decade ago, two planes had crashed into the Twin Towers by the time Drew emerged from the Chambers Street subway stop around a quarter after nine.

The 110-story buildings looked like a pair of giant smokestacks spewing plumes of black soot into the crystal blue sky.

He began shooting, focusing on the topmost floors.

It wasn't long before he realized that some of the people trapped inside -- as many as 200 of them, it was later estimated -- had decided that plunging thousands of feet to their deaths was preferable to burning alive.

There's another one," he said, recalling the horrific

them, the subject soars earthward in a graceful vertical dive -- arms at

"Although he has not chosen his fate, he appears to have, in his last instants of life, embraced it," wrote Tom Junod in a renowned 2003 Esquire piece that coined the title of the photo, which won a 2001 World Press Photo award and is the subject of a 2006 documentary film.

"If he were not falling, he might very well be flying.

"Newspapers the world over made space for the Falling Man in their Sept. 12, 2001, editions.

But the widespread publicity sparked a debate as to whether the image was too gratuitous for public consumption.

"To me, it's a real quiet photograph," Drew argued.

Unlike fellow AP photographer Nick Ut's Pulitzer-winning 1972 shot of a naked 9-year-old girl fleeing a napalm attack in Vietnam or Drew's famous photos of Bobby Kennedy's bloody dying breaths, "There's no violence in it," he said.

It was now close to 3 p.m., and Drew had decamped to a Shake Shack a few blocks from Ground Zero for a late lunch.

Waiting for his food to arrive, Drew said he doesn't attend the memorial ceremonies held each year at the hallowed site nearby, nor does he plan to show up for the 10th anniversary of the tragedy.

."I don't need to be here to commemorate what happened to me," he said.

Everything I do, whether it's photographing DSK [Dominique Strauss-Kahn] in court, or the World Trade Center, or spring training baseball, it's all part of history, no matter how small or how large.

"Drew likewise doesn't reminisce much about his experience on Sept. 11.

(No lingering nightmares or PTSD, either.)

He is reminded of the photo, however, twice a day, every day, through online news alerts that track mentions of the words "falling man" in the press.

He picked up his BlackBerry to check the latest, in which "a 22-year-old man died Monday after falling off a rocky cliff and being swept out to sea in Hawaii," he reported.

The alerts, which he created on his Yahoo! and Google accounts about eight years ago, rarely have anything to do with the actual Falling Man, but he likes to keep up anyway."I'm curious to see if people are writing about it or talking about it," he said.

"To see how they might interpret the picture."[

Drew's longtime neighbor, the author Helen Schulman, lives five floors above the apartment Drew shares with his wife, his two daughters, and the family's 5-year-old golden retriever, Ajax, in a prewar building on the Upper West Side.

Schulman wrote an entire novel without knowing that Drew, as she explains in the acknowledgements, had taken the "picture that haunted and inspired me throughout the years of writing" it.

Drew and Schulman serendipitously connected the dots after she completed the first draft of the book, "A Day at the Beach" -- about a distraught family that flees Manhattan for the Hamptons on Sept. 11 -- which was published in 2007."It

's always going to be a part of me," perhaps more than any other photo he's ever taken, Drew said.

."I think of it as a learning experience," he said of the photo and Sept. 11 in general.

"I get so caught up in the adrenaline of doing this job.

So, looking back on it, I think a lot about being able to go home to my family every night.

Whether I decide to think about it daily or not, it's always in the back of my mind.

It's this world event that I have become a part of in my own little tangential way.

I'm not a hero fireman; I didn't die there; I didn't have a loved one who passed away there.

"As for the anonymous soul whose legacy Drew has unwittingly preserved, "Even if people don't want to see my photograph, that man did fall out of the building," he said.

"To me, he'll always remain the unknown soldier."

# 2013 Gotham Awards to Add Best Actor and Actress Categories

IFP, Filmmaker's publisher, announced this morning details of this year's edition of its annual awards show, the Gotham Awards.

The 2013 event will take place at Cipriani Wall Street in New York City on December 2, and will feature a number of changes.

The most significant change is the addition of Best Actor and Actress categories, which are now in addition to awards for Breakthrough Actor and Best Ensemble.

(The latter award, according to the press release, will now "be presented on occasion as a special award.")

Additionally, the Breakthrough Director award has this year be renamed in honor of Bingham Ray, the late producer who was a passionate champion of emerging filmmaking talent.

This year there will no longer be an award for Best Film Not Playing at a Theater Near You, which Filmmaker and MoMA partnered with IFP to present, however there will continue to be a Best Film Not Playing film series at MoMA which the editorial staff of Filmmaker will curate with the staff of the museum's film department.

The deadline for submissions is September 20th, and the 2013 Gotham Award nominations are to be revealed on October 24th.

IFP's Executive Director Joana Vicente said, "This has been a rich year for independent films – both those films out now and others on the release horizon.

It promises to be an exciting season, and as the home of independent film, it is IFP's goal to celebrate these projects and the artists' work behind each film, helping to bring them to the attention of wider audiences."

In May 2015, he began portraying Colonel Sanders in television commercials for Kentucky Fried Chicken, although he was replaced by Norm Macdonald, also a former "SNL" cast member, just three months later.

KFC has entered the next phase in their resurrection of their brand icon and founder Colonel Sanders by replacing him with a newer colonel.

In a new series of commercials for the fast-food chain, "Last Comic Standing" judge and "Saturday Night Live" alum Norm Macdonald takes his turn in donning the white mustache and jacket, replacing the previous version played by Darrell Hammond, the company said in a statement.

"Other than not quite looking like him, his voice being different, and his inability to cook the world's best chicken, we thought Norm was the perfect choice to play the Real Colonel.

I think the fans will agree," said KFC US chief marketing officer Kevin Hochman.

KFC, which is owned by parent company Yum! Brands, has courted some negative feedback for its first batch of commercials from fans who feel the ads mock the company's patriarch.

Former Kentucky Governor John Y. Brown Jr., who opened 3,500 KFC outlets before selling the company in 1971, believed that the company was making fun of Sanders, according to USA Today.

CEO Greg Creed revealed recently that one in five people hated the Hammond-led ads — and he is all for it.

"That's better than 100% being indifferent," he said in a report by Food Business News.

Darrell Clayton Hammond (born October 8, 1955) is an American actor, stand-up comedian and impressionist. He was a regular cast member on "Saturday Night Live" from 1995 to 2009.
 Upon his departure, Hammond, at age 53, was the oldest cast member in the show's history. Hammond made more "SNL" appearances than any other cast member and impersonated more than 107 celebrities, with Bill Clinton as his most frequent impression.
 Hammond held the record for most impersonations by an "SNL" cast member with 107, until he was surpassed by Kenan Thompson on May 3, 2014.
 On September 19, 2014, Hammond was announced as the new announcer of "SNL," replacing Don Pardo, who had died the month before.

(meta data) PUBLISHED DATETIME: 2011-06-10

Joshua Rivera from GQ wrote: "The Divine's story is unflinching and raw, and its art is quite possibly the most beautiful of any comic this year".

(meta data) TITLE: The 10 Best Graphic Novels of 2015 | GQ

(meta data) COPYRIGHT: Copyright (c) Condé Nast 2019

It was an exciting year for graphic novels, 2015—full of new work from old favorites and exciting debuts from promising talent.

It was a rich year, full of standout fiction and nonfiction, starring shapeshifters and soldiers and queer action heroes in stories both brutal and quiet, emotionally raw and extremely funny.

If you've missed out on what's been going on in graphic novels, there's no better time to catch up.

(A bit of housekeeping: "graphic novels," for our purposes, are book-length comics by design, complete works that aren't merely collections of ongoing monthly comic books.)

Here, in no particular order, are ten of 2015's best graphic novels.

Sexcastle, by Kyle StarksYou know this story.

Shane Sexcastle used to be the World's Greatest Assassin, but now all he wants to do is settle into a small town and sell some flowers.

But can he really leave that life behind?

Equal parts homage to and parody of over-the-top '80s action films, Sexcastle is easily one of the funniest comics you'll read this year.

Writer/artist Kyle Starks crafts a fast-paced tale with dynamic art that feels like a Genndy Tartakovsky cartoon starring Snake Plissken-era Kurt Russell, only with ninjas, nunchucks, and nonstop fights.

This is well-trod ground that could easily overstay its welcome, but the jokes start on page one and the punches don't come long after—like a fight with Shane Sexcastle, it's over before you know it.

Nimona, by Noelle StevensonNimona catches you off guard.

At first, it appears to be nothing more than a cutesy comedy about the magical shapeshifting girl named Nimona, who wants nothing more than to wreak havoc as the sidekick to the villainous Ballister Blackheart.

There wouldn't be anything wrong with that, either—Stevenson is one of the funniest writers and cartoonists working in comics.

But as the story goes on, everything and everyone is revealed to have more going on than you might initially think, and Stevenson's deft writing and expressive cartooning helps land some incredibly emotional plot twists.

Like its protagonist, Nimona is a shapeshifter that will endear itself to you in no time at all.

Two Brothers, by Gabriel Bá and Fabio MoonAdapted from a novel by Brazilian novelist Milton Hamoun, Two Brothers is the story of identical twins Omar and Yaqub and the bitter feud that sparks the slow deterioration of their family as the riverfront city of Manuas also falls to pieces.

A tragedy spanning decades told by real-life twin brothers (and award-winning master cartoonists), Two Brothers will stun you with its black-and-white art and the poetry of its spare script, even as it breaks your heart.

Jennifer HaydenAfter a breast-cancer diagnosis led her to a double mastectomy, Jennifer Hayden realized that much of her life's story was also about her breasts.

Ten years in the making, The Story of My Tits is a memoir primarily about grappling with and surviving cancer, but it's also about self-discovery, romance, and family.

Hayden's voice is equal parts searingly honest and uproariously funny, effortlessly flowing from hilarious confessional to somber reflection as Hayden, through her own life and the lives of those she loves most, comes to grips with mortality and learns to share her stories through comics.

McCloud is most famous for being the guy who explained comics to us all; his 1993 graphic text Understanding Comics has been the definitive introduction to the medium for decades.

But despite the fact that he's used his expertise to enlighten countless readers about the depth and joy of comics, McCloud has never really attempted a full-length graphic novel of his own.

The Sculptor, then, carries a lot of expectation—and it delivers.

David Smith, the titular Sculptor, makes a deal with Death to be able to sculpt anything he can imagine with his bare hands, but he's only given 200 more days to live.

The Sculptor is a young man's story told with a master's expertise, earnest and raw in its storytelling but also reflective and somber.

The Divine, by Asaf Hanuka, Tomer Hanuka, and Boaz LavieAt the end of The Divine

, the authors share with you the real-life photo that inspired the story: a pair of 12-year-old child soldiers that held 800 people hostage in a hospital.

One of them is taking a long, dispassionate drag on a cigarette.

The Divine isn't about those twins, per se, but about children like them—a magical realist story in which a Western military outfit attempts to cash in on an ostensibly easy job in Southeast Asia that goes sour.

They anger the land, they anger the children, and strange things long hidden come to light.

The Divine's story is unflinching and raw, and its art is quite possibly the most beautiful of any comic this year.

March: Book Two, by John Lewis, Andrew Aydin, and Nate PowellThe second in a trilogy of graphic novels telling the story of Congressman John Lewis, who played a central role in the American Civil Rights movement, Book Two of March delves into the difficult, dangerous work of those who fought for equal rights.

Beginning with the Freedom Rides in 1961, Lewis, Aydin, and Powell movingly portray the struggles of the growing Civil Rights movement as resistance builds and internal disagreement threatens to derail them.

It is vital, gripping work, passionately rendered and meticulously researched, equal parts true story and moving graphic memoir.

Nanjing: The Burning City, by Ethan YoungSet in the ruins of the Nanjing massacre in the throes of the second Sino-Japanese war

, Ethan Young's gripping graphic novel follows two Chinese soldiers on their last legs as they try and sneak through the rubble of a city abandoned by their country and overtaken by their enemy.

Harrowing and effective, Nanjing doesn't so much surround you in war as much as it enfolds you in the horror it leaves behind.

(It's in the hands, really—the way Young takes every opportunity to show you how they tremble and shake.)

We never learn the protagonist's name, as Nanjing's prologue makes it clear there are many names from that war we'll never know.

Super Mutant Magic Academy by Jillian TamakiNot

a graphic novel so much as a book-length collection of single-page comic strips

, Super Mutant Magic Academy is nonetheless a totally engrossing, hilarious read.

It's the X-Men by way of Hogwarts directed by Wes Anderson, spare and sharp and clever, full of idiosyncratic characters and deadpan humor.

Perfect to read in bite-sized portions but difficult to put down, Super Mutant Magic Academy is the rare comic that has sensibilities equally accessible to outcasts and cool kids alike.

Virgil, by Steve Orlando, J.D. Faith, Chris Beckett, and Thomas Mauer Billed as "a queersploitation revenge tale," Virgil sets out to be the Django Unchained of queer action heroes—a modern-day riff on exploitation cinema, using the gratuitous sex and violence of the genre to tell a tale of empowerment.

Set in Kingston, Jamaica, the eponymous Virgil is a gay cop who is outed and left for dead, his lover abducted, his friends killed.

Their mistake—in the tradition of John Shaft, Virgil's coming for them all.

Brutal, efficient, and very very violent, Virgil is first-rate action comics, a landmark piece of queer fiction with a hero that is unapologetically gay, wrecking dudes in a fashion usually reserved for straight characters.

Eric Libiot from L'express compared the coloring in the book (By Tomer Hanuka) to that of Hergé, creator of Tintin. Lysiane Ganousse from L'Est Républicain wrote: "The authors have turned a chilling true story into a stunning tale", and the popular comics critique website, "9emeArt", had given it a rating of 10 out 10, declaring that "Even though it's only January, we can already say it's going to be one of the best releases of the year".

It was released in July 2015 and has hit the New York Times Best Sellers list. It has since received highly positive reviews. "Publishers Weekly" had chosen "The Divine" for "top ten graphic novel for spring 2015", describing it later on as: "Heady, hellacious, and phantasmagoric". Jesse Karp on his Booklist review wrote: "Stunning artwork and creeping dread weave together in this satisfying and moving page-turner". Douglas Wolk from The New York Times described it as "a too rare example of artists getting top billing", referring to the artwork by Asaf and Tomer Hanuka.


In 2015, it was announced that Ball would be played by Cate Blanchett in an untitled biographical film, to be written by Aaron Sorkin.

# Cate Blanchett to Star in Lucille Ball Biopic From Aaron Sorkin

Cate Blanchett will star as Lucille Ball in a biopic that's being produced by her two children — Lucie Arnaz and Desi Arnaz Jr. — and Escape Artists.

Aaron Sorkin is in talks to write the script, which will center on Ball's 20-year marriage to Desi Arnaz.

She eloped with the Cuban bandleader in 1940, and the two created the massively successful sitcom "I Love Lucy" in 1951 through their Desilu Productions.

Ball also gave birth to her daughter in 1951 and to her son in 1953.

Ball and Arnaz divorced in 1960, and Ball began running Desilu Productions in 1962.

Jenna Block will oversee development of the project at Sony-based Escape Artists.

No director or other cast is attached yet.

Blanchett has won Academy Awards for "The Aviator" and "Blue Jasmine."

She's starring in Todd Haynes' romance "Carol," which premiered at Cannes, and will be seen with Robert Redford in the Dan Rather drama "Truth," which premieres at the Toronto Film Festival.

Sorkin wrote "Steve Jobs," which Universal opens Oct. 9, and recently turned in the script for Sony's "Molly's Game."

Escape Artists produced Jake Gyllenhaal's boxing drama "Southpaw."

Blanchett is represented by CAA and RGM Artists.

The news was first reported by the Wrap.

In November 2007, Lucille Ball was chosen as number two on a list of the '50 Greatest TV Icons'; a public poll, however, chose her as number one.
 On August 6, 2011, which would have been her 100th birthday, Google honored Ball with an interactive doodle on their homepage, which displayed six classic moments from "I Love Lucy". On the same day, a total of 915 Ball look-alikes converged on Jamestown to celebrate the birthday and set a new world record for such a gathering.
 Since 2009, a statue of Ball has been on display in Celoron, New York. Residents deemed that statue "scary" and not accurate, earning it the nickname "Scary Lucy".   On August 1, 2016, it was announced that a new statue of Ball would replace it. The new statue replaced the old one on August 6, 2016. However, since the old statue became a local tourist attraction after receiving media attention, it was placed 75 yards from its original location so visitors could visit both statues.
