Uploaded on Jul 11, 2010 Part 1.  A re-imagining of the first automated test flight of the Jupiter 2 from the TV show "Lost in Space." Set in the year 2097 at the Alpha Control Shipyards on Jupiter's moon, Callisto. The ship's systems are tested during a shakedown flight before the spacecraft is sent to Earth to pick up the Robinson Family a week later. The Jupiter 2 is the first in a series of ships designed to take families from Earth to the new colony planet in orbit around Alpha Centauri. Part 1 shows the launch, attainment of escape velocity from Callisto, the deployment of the ship's sensors and engagement of the navigational systems. Part 2 will take a look at the ship's passenger compartment and feature the most famous crew member, Robot B9. All models, animation, original texture mapping & editing by me.

In which film can you find the Oberon spaceship

The twist ending of "Planet Of The Apes" (2001) explained @ Things Of Interest Discussion (65) 2009-11-03 21:37:05 by YarKramer: For the record, the 2001 movie has approximately the same twist as the original novel, though there was only one instance of space-travel in that, so it doesn't have the time-travel explanation. (And it also has a framing device, with a fairly predictable "tomato surprise" at the end, which isn't present in either film ...) 2009-11-03 22:08:32 by dankuck: I hadn't pondered the 2001 Planet of the Apes in a while. I was pretty much satisfied with it, being a time travel nut myself. Instead of opposite directions I assumed the cloud has some sort of "center point" in time such that the further you are from it, the further on the other side of it you'll come out. I supposed it works out the same, because relative to that point, time is moving in opposite directions (even though it's objectively the same direction). Have you needed to explain this to someone in particular? Now do Primer. 2009-11-03 22:54:43 by Jake: >there is no reason why the Planet Of The Apes can't still be Earth-in-the-distant-future, as it is in the original flick. If the Planet of the Apes were the distant past, it would make even more sense. Instead of requiring a hypothetical ape to develop space flight and travel through the storm, the entire Planet of the Apes just sort of sits around and eventually turns into our own. Seconded on Primer. Very confusing plot. Enjoyable action 2012-09-04 01:40:30 by Amanda: Ag i fully understand what ur saying, and totally believe ur theory of how the movies tie together, makes perfect sense to me :) 2012-09-04 02:34:38 by ogamfive: I have a very different hypothesis as to how the Oberon arrived much earlier than either pod - Thade's capitalizing on its salvageable technology never was explained, of course, as no sequel was ever made - and it involves what I'm calling the 'paradox of surface area electrical potential within a vacuum'- gravitation has little or no value within such an environment, as has been well-established. So, if an object that is larger becomes caught in a magnetic storm such as the one which proves to be the crew's utter downfall, it will be carried much farther and faster in a timestream regardless of its temporal direction due to a MUCH greater surface area being exposed to the fields, created by the interface between denser energies (including matter) with the higher-vibrating elements, mirroring how Time may work on Earth and other planets - could also be viewed as a stargate, switchback or wormhole; one can also think of it as a more rapid energetic current within the larger, slower stream.....it's my belief Tesla's discovery that every object in the universe produces not just a signature electrical charge, but corresponding magnetic field, coupled with planetary (and solar, hence sunspots) differing centers of gravity, creates a basis supportive of sentient life..... 2012-09-04 02:54:57 by ogamfive: .....neglected to point out also how the apes evolved so fast: exposure to the magnetic storm also altered their DNA; as David Wilcock details in his paradigm-shattering book The Source Field Investigations, pioneers such as Dr. Robert Becker discovered that certain strengths of magnetic stimuli and changes to other energetic environmental variables related to species evolution do indeed produce these kinds of expedited effects..... 2012-09-04 05:53:51 by IsaacD: After reading all these comments, I think you need to take into account the significance of certain statements and scenes in the movie. 1) the inscription behind the Thade/Lincoln statue says Thade saved the apes (also note the comparison to Lincoln). 2) Leo's clock in his ship stopped sometime in the 22nd century, which is his future. 3) The female ape commented how maybe the apes on Earth just don't talk by choice. 4) When Leo discovered what happened with the Oberon, part of his explanation to the others was "they didn't find me because I made the time jump". 5) When Peracles originally went throu


What was the surly debut single from Magic

Home - Magic! Clip In 2014, Toronto-bred, Los Angeles-based quartet MAGIC! scored the song of the summer with their debut single “Rude” — a  buoyant reggae-pop tune that held the No. 1 spot on the Billboard Hot 100 for six weeks, charted in 41 countries, and sold more than 10 million singles, while its video nears a billion VEVO views. It was a juggernaut that launched their debut album, Don’t Kill the Magic, into the Top 10 and introduced MAGIC!’s breezy sound — a catchy fusion of reggae, pop, and R&B — to the world. “When ‘Rude’ got big, my thought was, ‘What do we do with this?’” says the band’s lead vocalist and chief songwriter Nasri. “So we chased it. We used its success to get us around the world a few times and to turn those 350 million streams into a fan base.” Indeed over the past two years MAGIC! has established itself as a bonafide sensation thanks to its undeniably catchy sound, superlative songwriting, and masterful musicianship. Now the band, which also features guitarist Mark Pelli, drummer Alex Tanas, and bassist Ben Spivak, has released a new single, the Caribbean-tinged “Lay You Down Easy” (featuring Sean Paul), which debuted at No. 1 on Billboard’s Reggae Digital Songs chart and racked up two million Spotify streams and one million VEVO views in its first two weeks. MAGIC! is also gearing up for the July release of its new album, Primary Colours, which finds the band further displaying its reggae influences and pop smarts. “The ultimate goal was to make an album that is groovy and fun,” Nasri says. “We are embracing ourselves now. We’ve actually found our identity and have really gotten to know each other as friends and fellow musicians. We had only known each other a short time when we made our debut album.” Produced by Nasri and Adam Messinger (who as Grammy-winning production duo the Messengers, have scored hits for Justin Bieber, David Guetta, Shakira, Chris Brown, Pitbull, and Christina Aguilera), and with production assists from Pelli and Tanas, Primary Colours is the sound of a band that has come into its own. “Each of these guys is a phenomenal musician and they all stepped up in various capacities, whether it was writing, playing, or producing,” says Nasri. “Mark is extraordinary and plays everything to the highest degree. He has these amazing colors. Alex really grew as a producer and was stronger about sharing his opinion, and Ben is always open and very melodic, he played all over the record. My bandmates are always shocking me with what they can do musically. Everyone’s contribution is always full-hearted.” The creative bond that the band members have developed is palpable in the good-natured bounce of the music on Primary Colours, as are the rhythms the four have soaked up through their worldwide travels. Last year they toured as first support for Maroon 5 and performed headlining shows across the U.S., South America, Asia, and Europe. “We definitely had that spiritual connection to the cultures we visited,” Nasri says. “We’re all natives of Canada, but we have different heritages. But when we get together, the guitar and the bass come out and we start to go with it. When we were in the studio making Primary Colours, the more rock-oriented songs started to give way to the groovier songs, and we thought, ‘This is us, We are this fusion band.’ It’s like home for me. I’ll make a song and if something doesn’t feel right, I’ll try a reggae melody or beat and it suddenly feels great … “It’s like I took reggae on a couple of dates and it went really well and now we’re going steady.” In the time between making Don’t Kill the Magic and Primary Colours, Nasri also gave himself a musical education, diving into records by reggae stars Bob Marley, Jimmy Cliff, and Peter Tosh. He also immersed himself in The Beatles catalog and records by Paul Simon. “Growing up we had no money, so I only listened to the radio,” he explains. “It wasn’t until my ’20s that I started getting into Stevie Wonder and early Police. I didn’t know anything about The Beatles, just the hits. Now I know 70 of their songs. And I’v


Released in September 2014 which Labrinth song sounds like it should be in your Beatles Collection

Words Of Love | The Beatles Bible On Air - Live At The BBC Volume 2 Written and recorded by Buddy Holly in 1957, Words Of Love was the only of his songs to be recorded by The Beatles. A number of Buddy Holly's songs had been performed live by The Beatles from their earliest days. These included That'll Be The Day , Peggy Sue, Everyday, It's So Easy, Maybe Baby, Think It Over, Raining In My Heart, and Crying, Waiting, Hoping . The Beatles' name was partly inspired by Holly's backing group, The Crickets. All four members were keen Holly fans, and in 1976 McCartney bought the publishing rights to his songs. The group had performed Words Of Love between 1958 and 1962, with Lennon and Harrison singing. For the Beatles For Sale recording, however, Lennon and McCartney shared vocal duties. Buddy Holly was completely different; he was out of Nashville, so that introduced us to the country music scene. I still like Buddy's vocal style. And his writing. One of the main things about The Beatles is that we started out writing our own material. People these days take it for granted that you do, but nobody used to then. John and I started to write because of Buddy Holly. It was like, 'Wow! He writes and is a musician'. Paul McCartney Anthology Words Of Love was first released in the UK on the Beatles For Sale album, the group's fourth. In the US it was included on the Beatles VI collection. Although Words Of Love was the only Buddy Holly song in The Beatles' canon, they did busk a version of Mailman, Bring Me No More Blues during the Get Back sessions in 1969. While not written by Holly, the song was originally released in 1957 as the b-side to Words Of Love. The Beatles' version was eventually included on Anthology 3 . In the studio Words Of Love was the final song recorded on 18 October 1964 , during which they recorded seven songs in nine hours in a rush to finish the album. The Beatles recorded the song in two takes, along with a vocal overdub. Ringo Starr played a suitcase along with his drums, in homage to Jerry Allison's performance on Holly's Everyday. Lyrics And tell me how you feel Tell me love is real Words of love You whisper soft and true Darling I love you Let me hear you say The words I long to hear Darling when you're near You whisper soft and true Darling I love you SD Monday 13 July 2009 Ringo drums only on the packing case. There’s no drumset.

Which John Legend song knocked Pharell Willams completely off the No.1 spot on the US Billboard

Pharrell Williams' 'Happy' Brings Frowns To Billboard Competition For Seventh Time : Entertainment : Design & Trend Pharrell Williams' 'Happy' Brings Frowns To Billboard Competition For Seventh Time Michael Briggs , Design & Trend Staff Writer Apr, 09, 2014, 05:06 PM Tags : Pharrell Williams , happy , music , Billboard Close Pharrell Williams' "Happy" is cementing its status as of one of the year's biggest hits, taking the number one spot on the Billboard Hot 100 for the seventh time, Billboard  reports. "Happy" has led Billboard's Radio Songs chart for six weeks, recently claiming 225.4 million all-format audience impressions, which is just shy of Robin Thicke's "Blurred Lines" record for the biggest weekly audience with 228.9 million impressions. Williams and rapper T.I. were also featured on "Blurred Lines." "Happy" also leads the charts for top Digital Songs, Pop Songs, Adult Pop Songs, R&B/Hip-Hop Airplay and Adult R&B Songs Airplay. The track claimed seven consecutive weeks of at least 300,000 downloads sold until this past week, according to Nielsen SoundScan data. However, Williams does appear to have a legitimate chance of being knocked off of his position by next week, as John Legend's track "All of Me" continues to rise, taking the top spot this week on the "subscription services-based" On-Demand Songs chart. The song is Legend's first Hot 100 top ten and has finished at no. 2 on the chart three times. The ever-busy Williams was recently announced as a coach for season 7 of NBC's "The Voice," Entertainment Weekly reports. The Grammy winner will join the reality singing competition's coaching staff, which features Adam Levine, Blake Shelton, Shakira and Usher in season six. Williams previously appeared on the show in season 4 as an adviser to Usher's team and also performed "Blurred Lines" alongside Robin Thicke last season. Season 7 of "The Voice" will air this fall, with season six wrapping up on May 20. Willaims, who scored  the upcoming "Amazing Spider-Man 2" and will be featured on the film's soundtrack  for his Kendrick Lamar and Alicia Keys-assisted track, "It's On Again," is certainly off to a good start this year. Singer Pharrell Williams (C) performs at the 86th Academy Awards in Hollywood, California March 2, 2014. (Photo: REUTERS/Lucy Nicholson) The singer/producer's track "Happy" was his  first number one  as a lead artist in the chart's nine-year history. His second solo studio album , "G I R L" released in February and debuted in the top ten  of Billboard's albums chart. The 10-track project includes features  from Miley Cyrus, Justin Timberlake, Alicia Keys and Daft Punk. Other guests include Timbaland, who beatboxes on "Brand New," Kelly Osbourne, a background vocalist on "Marilyn Monroe" and singers Leah LaBelle, Tori Kelly and JoJo. His busy 2014 will also reportedly feature a joint EP with rapper Mac Miller called " Pink Slime ." Related

Released in July 2014, which deadly song is from Iggy Azalea and features Rita Ora

Iggy Azalea teams up with Rita Ora for new single 'Black Widow' - NME NME 8:51 pm - Jul 4, 2014 0shares The song follows the rapper's global smash hit 'Fancy' Jess Baumung/NME Rapper Iggy Azalea has teamed up with Rita Ora for her new single ‘Black Widow’.

The release follows Azelea’s guest spot on Ariana Grande’s ‘Problem’, as well as ‘Fancy’ featuring Charli XCX, which has now sold over 3.5 million copies worldwide. Azalea has spoken about the forthcoming video for the song, commenting: “We’re gonna have a very crazy music video, with a lot of other people that you guys may know, playing different characters. I’m really excited about it.” Azalea plays Wireless Festival this weekend. The Australian rapper recently matched The Beatles US chart record, scoring both the Number One and Number Two spots in the Billboard Hot 100, with her first two entries on the chart, ‘Fancy’ and ‘Problem’. The last act to achieve this feat was The Beatles in February 1964, with ‘I Want to Hold Your Hand’ at Number One and ‘She Loves You’ at Number Two. Speaking about the accolade, Azalea said it didn’t “mean anything”. Distancing herself from the record, she said: “I’d rather be The Rolling Stones.”


Which battle is commonly referred to as Custer's Last Stand?

Battle of Little Bighorn Coverup By Robert Nightengale Editor’s note: Like many George Armstrong Custer defenders, the author of the following article believes that Major Marcus Reno and Captain Frederick Benteen were to blame for the 7th Cavalry’s failure in Montana 120 years ago. And, like some of those Custer defenders, the author believes that Reno and Benteen tried to hide the truth. Part of that truth, the author suggests, may have been that Colonel Custer actually crossed the Little Bighorn River and fought in the Indian village. June 25, 1876. It has become a day of myth and mystery. On that date, Lieutenant Colonel (Brevet Major General) George Armstrong Custer and the 7th Cavalry fought perhaps the biggest alliance of Plains Indians hostile to the government that had ever gathered in one place. As every student of the American West knows, the 7th Cavalry lost that battle, and Custer’s personal command, about 210 soldiers, was wiped out. Without a survivor of Custer’s command to tell the story, with the possible exception of the young Crow scout Curley, it is only natural that the dramatic event would trigger more debate and conjecture than any other battle in U.S. history. The entire 7th Cavalry was not destroyed in the desperate fighting. Under the command of Major Marcus Reno and Captain Frederick Benteen, about 400 soldiers and scouts survived a two-day siege on a bluff about four miles from where Custer was annihilated. On June 27, reinforcements commanded by Brig. Gen. Alfred Terry arrived on the battlefield to rescue the survivors and bury the dead of the 7th Cavalry. A coverup of the facts of the battle immediately began–a coverup endorsed by many, but orchestrated first and foremost by Major Reno and Captain Benteen. Custer’s political difficulties during the spring of 1876 and his testimony in Washington, D.C., concerning governmental corruption on the frontier also kept the authorities from pursuing an investigation that might clear up some of the mystery. It was an election year, and President Ulysses S. Grant and his administration had no desire to elevate Custer from his former status of political enemy to that of martyr. Even General Terry confused the issues by inventing a charge that Custer disobeyed orders–a charge still frequently repeated despite overwhelming evidence to the contrary. Orders were disobeyed at the Battle of the Little Bighorn, but not by Custer. Reno and Benteen had been ordered forward to attack the Indian village. Not only did the two officers fail to carry out those orders but they also failed to carry out the spirit of military duty as it exists historically in any military structure. Reno and Benteen, to protect themselves, went far in confusing the issues of the battle. It was early morning on June 25 when, from the divide between the Rosebud Creek and Little Bighorn River valleys, Custer was informed by his scouts of the location of an enormous camp of hostile Indians, mostly Sioux and Cheyenne. Custer was also informed that the 7th Cavalry was under observation by hostile scouts. Because the Indians in the camp might escape–the greatest concern to the frontier army while on campaign–Custer ordered his force forward to the attack. Custer could do so with confidence, for there was no record up to that date of Plains Indians ever having confronted an entire regiment of U.S. cavalry, much less defeating them.

The Indians were camped some 12 miles away. Custer himself commanded two battalions–five companies–and Reno commanded a third battalion of three companies. These three battalions made up the main force of the advance, while Benteen and three companies were sent on a controversial and somewhat mysterious’scout’ to the left (south) of the main advance. One company and several picked soldiers from each of the other companies made up the rear guard and pack-train escort. As Custer’s and Reno’s forces nea

Who wrote the book Last of the Mohicans?

SparkNotes: The Last of the Mohicans: Chapters III–IV The Last of the Mohicans James Fenimore Cooper (See Important Quotations Explained ) Summary: Chapter III The narrator shifts the focus of attention from Magua and his party to another group of people in another part of the forest, a few miles west by the river. We meet the remaining primary characters: Hawkeye, a white hunter, and Chingachgook, his Mohican ally. Though both men are hunters, they dress differently. Hawkeye wears a hunting shirt, a skin cap, and buckskin leggings; he carries a knife, a pouch, and a horn. Chingachgook is almost naked and covered in war-paint. Both men carry weapons. Hawkeye carries a long rifle, and Chingachgook carries a short rifle and a tomahawk. They discuss the historical developments that have caused them to both inhabit the same forest. Hawkeye proclaims his inheritance of a genuine and enduring whiteness, and Chingachgook laments the demise of his tribe of Mohicans. Of the Mohican tribe, only Chingachgook and his son remain. At this mention of the diminishing tribe, Chingachgook’s son Uncas appears and reports that he has been trailing the Maquas, the Iroquois enemies of the Mohicans. When the antlers of a deer appear in the distance, Hawkeye wants to shoot the animal, but then realizes that the noise of the rifle will draw the attention of the enemy. In the place of the long rifle, Uncas uses an arrow to kill the deer. Shortly thereafter, Chingachgook detects the sound of horses approaching. Summary: Chapter IV [T]he worst enemy I have on earth, and he is an Iroquois, daren’t deny that I am genuine white. (See Important Quotations Explained ) Heyward and his party encounter Hawkeye. When Hawkeye questions the group, Heyward and Gamut explain that their guide, Magua, has led them away from their desired destination. Hawkeye finds this explanation suspicious, because he does not believe that an Indian could be lost in the forest that is his home. He thinks his suspicions are justified when he learns that Magua is a Huron. Hawkeye describes the Huron tribe as untrustworthy, unlike the Mohican or Delaware tribes. After learning that Heyward is the major of the 60th regiment of the king at Fort William Henry, Hawkeye considers punishing Magua for treachery. Though Hawkeye considers shooting Magua on the spot, so that the traitor will not accompany the party to Fort William Henry, Heyward opposes that violence. Instead of shooting Magua, Heyward approaches him while Chingachgook and Uncas surround him. So that Magua will not suspect the plot to capture him, Heyward engages Magua in conversation. As they talk, Magua discloses the name he prefers: Le Renard Subtil (The Subtle Fox). Magua feels suspicious of Heyward, but eventually he warms to him and agrees to sit and eat. Sounds in the forest make Magua agitated, and Heyward dismounts and makes a move to capture the guide. Magua cries out and darts away from Heyward just as Chingachgook and Uncas emerge from the thickets and give chase. Hawkeye, meanwhile, fires his rife toward the escaping Huron. A Mingo is a Mingo, and God having made him so, neither the Mohawks nor any other tribe can alter him.


Which football team were the last to win the English football league Division One?

English Premier League: A Look Back At the Teams From the Inaugural Season | Bleacher Report English Premier League: A Look Back At the Teams From the Inaugural Season Use your ← → (arrow) keys to browse the slideshow Shaun Botterill/Getty Images Manchester United have won 12 EPL championships 2.6K 2 Comments This year marks the 20th season of the English Premier League. Back in 1992, the football clubs that made up the then First Division joined forces to leave the Football League and form what has since been known as the Premier League. In its early years, the EPL was comprised of 22 clubs. However, following the 1994-1995 season, 4 teams were relegated while only two were promoted. The Premier League has consisted of twenty teams ever since. While a total of 45 clubs from the various English football divisions have competed in the EPL over the past 20 season, only seven have remained in England's top flight since the league was launched. They include: Arsenal Manchester  United Tottenham Manchester United won the first official EPL title. Here's a look back at the rest of the original 22 teams from the EPL's inaugural season in the order that they finished: Ian Walton/Getty Images Aston Villa are EPL mainstays Aston Villa's best finish ever in the EPL came in the league's first season when they ended up second to Manchester United.  They have never been relegated.  They have had seven managers during the EPL era including Ron Atkinson, Brian Little, John Gregory, Graham Taylor, David O'Leary, Martin O'Neill, Gerard Houllier and current manager Alex McLeish. Over the last 20 years Aston Villa won the League Cup in 1994 and 1996 as well as the 2001 Intertoto Cup. The Canaries are back in the top flight this season Norwich City were a part of the Premier League for its first three years. They were relegated in May of 1995 and then spent nine seasons in Division One. Norwich topped the Division One table in the 2003-2004 season to make it back to the top flight.  The Canaries' one season back in the EPL resulted in relegation back to what was now known as The Championship for four consecutive campaigns. Over the last three seasons, Norwich City has done the improbable. In 2009 they were relegated to Division One from the Championship. The very next season they won promotion back to the Championship by finishing first in Division One. Norwich City then followed that achievement by finishing second in the Championship last season and gaining promotion back up to the Premier League. Getty Images/Getty Images Alan Shearer was a major force with Blackburn Blackburn Rovers were a part of the original Premier League lineup and are one of just four clubs to have ever won an EPL title. Rovers topped the table in 1994-1995 led by striker Alan Shearer. The team's success was short lived as Rovers were unable to match their achievement and were relegated in 1999 to Division One. Blackburn didn't remain down too long as they won promotion back to the top flight in 2001 with a second place finish in Division One. In 2002 Blackburn won the League Cup with a 2-1 victory over Tottenham at the Millennium Stadium. Blackburn have remained in the EPL since 2001 with a series of managers including Graeme Souness, Mark Hughes, Paul Ince, Sam Allardyce and current under pressure manager Steve Kean. Matthew Lewis/Getty Images QPR are back in the top flight QPR were in the top half of the table for the first three seasons of the Premier League.  In 1996, however, Rangers dropped to 19th and were relegated to Division One. Rangers remained in Division One for five years until they were further relegated to Division Two following a 23rd place finish for the 2000-2001 season. Over the next three campaigns QPR finished 8th, 4th and then 2nd in 2004 which saw the team move back up to what was now called the Championship. Last year, after seven seasons in England's second tier of football, QPR led by Neil Warnock ran away with the Championship title and secured their return to the EPL.

What mission number was the last Apollo lunar landing?

Apollo 17 (AS-512) | National Air and Space Museum Apollo 17 (AS-512) The Last Manned Lunar Landing Apollo 17 was the last Apollo mission to land men on the Moon. It carried the only trained geologist to walk on the lunar surface, lunar module pilot Harrison Schmitt. Compared to previous Apollo missions, Apollo 17 astronauts traversed the greatest distance using the Lunar Roving Vehicle and returned the greatest amount of rock and soil samples. Eugene Cernan, commander of Apollo 17, still holds the distinction of being the last man to walk on the Moon, as no humans have visited the Moon since December 14, 1972. Summary of Events The successful Apollo 17 manned lunar landing mission was the last in a series of three J-type missions planned for the Apollo Program. The J-type missions have been characterized by extended hardware capability, by a scientific payload larger than the previous G- and H-series missions and by use of a battery powered lunar roving vehicle (LRV). As a result of these additions, the Apollo 17 mission had a duration of 12.6 days, and a time on the lunar surface of 75 hr with a total surface traverse distance of approximately 35 km. The Saturn V carrying Apollo 17 was launched from NASA John F. Kennedy Space Center at 05:33:00 UT on December 7, 1972 (11:33:00 p.m. CST on December 6, 1972). View of Apollo 17 Landing SiteThe landing site was on the southeastern rim of Mare Serenitatis in a dark deposit between massif units of the southwestern Montes Taurus. Scientific objectives included geological surveying and sampling of materials and surface features in a preselected area of the Taurus-Littrow region, deploying and activating surface experiments, and conducting inflight experiments and photographic tasks during lunar orbit and transearth coast. Lunar orbit insertion, executed at 19:47:23 GMT on December 10, placed the spacecraft into a lunar orbit of 170.0 by 52.6 nautical miles. Following a nominal descent sequence, the spacecraft landed at 19:54:57 GMT on December 11 in a valley at Taurus-Littrow, less than 200 m from the preferred landing point. The first lunar surface EVA began at 23:54:49 GMT on December 11, with Cernan stepping out of the spacecraft at 00:01:00 GMT on December 12. Deployment of the Apollo lunar-surface experiments package (ALSEP) and the cosmic ray experiment took place during EVA-1. Duration of this EVA was 7 hr 12 min. Schmitt collects samplesThe second EVA began at 23:28:06 GMT on December 12. Using the LRV, samples from Nansen Crater, Lara Crater and others were collected. Traverses, core samples and trenches were dug at different stations. This EVA lasted 7 hr 37 min. Lunar Roving VehicleDuring EVA-3, sampling stops were made and traverse gravimeter measurements were taken. Additional explosive packages for the Lunar Seismic Profiling Experiment were also deployed. One of the final science activities was the retrieval of the neutron flux probe from the deep drill core hole. The third EVA ended at 05:40:56 GMT on December 14. TV View of LM liftoffThe LM ascent stage lifted off the Moon at 22:54:37 GMT on December 14. Lift-off and ascent were recorded by the ground-commanded television assembly on the LRV. After docking with the CSM, the ascent stage was sent back to the lunar surface. Its impact was recorded by the four Apollo 17 geophones and by each ALSEP at the Apollo 12, 14, 15 and 16 landing sites.

Which band's debut single was Last Train to Clarksville?

Last Train to Clarksville - The Monkees | Song Info | AllMusic Last Train to Clarksville google+ Song Review               by Lindsay Planer This track is the A-side (b/w the Carole King/Gerry Goffin composition “Take A Giant Step”) to the Monkees’ first 45. In a savvy attempt to build an audience for the premier of the Monkees’ primetime television programme, the mavens behind the multi-media project released the single practically a month prior to the sit-com’s NBC network debut on September 11, 1966. According to interviews with “Last Train to Clarksville” co-authors Tommy Boyce and Bobby Hart, both the melody and lyrics were a direct inspiration from the fade out of the Beatles’ “Paperback Writer”. Once the songwriters had established that the fab four were not singing about a locomotive, they set out to write a thinly veiled protest song about a guy who is departing for military service -- or perhaps more specifically boot camp, as there is an Air Force base located near Clarksville, Tennessee. The song is rather unique melodically as well. The memorable chiming lead guitar introduction is punctuated by a brisk and percussive tambourine before landing into Micky Dolzenz’ dramatic and empathetic vocals. Also worthy of note is the start/stop rhythm that precedes the line “And I don’t know if I’m ever coming home”, which is especially pronounced at the end of the instrumental break or ‘middle eight’. While it is generally considered common knowledge that the Monkees’ (sans Michael Nesmith) did not initially perform on any of their early sides, the musicians chosen to accompany the lead vocals were among the best in the business at the time and include session stalwarts Louie Shelton (guitar) and Gene Estes (percussion). “Last Train To Clarksville” became an instant smash and eventually topped the pop singles chart. Enthusiasts wishing to hear the actual quartet, are encouraged to locate copies of the four-disc set Summer 1967: The Complete U.S. Concert Recordings (2001), containing four performances from the Monkees’ in their heyday. In addition to the pre-fab four’s version, a wide variety of other artists have also taken a turn at the track, ranging from jazz vocalist Cassandra Wilson to 1960s garage rockers The Standells and even the high and lonesome sound of bluegrass legends Flatt & Scruggs.

What is the first name of cricket umpire Dickie Bird

Dickie Bird | England Cricket | Cricket Players and Officials | ESPN Cricinfo ODI statistics Profile Dickie Bird's white cap, twitching shoulders and forearm stretch became as much a part of the day out as the battle between bat and ball. He seemed to attract minor incident, without ever allowing the day to be soured by controversy. Burst pipes, reflecting windscreens and bomb scares all conspired to trouble him, but each impostor was met with humour and Yorkshire-bred common sense. Notorious for being an early Bird (he once made it to The Oval at 6am, so nervous was he about being late and was five-hours early to meet the Queen on one occasion), and plagued by bad weather he made the transition from cricketing figure to something close to a national institution. A favourite among the public who took to his idiosyncrasies, Bird was equally admired and respected by the players. He diffused many a situation that a lesser umpire may have allowed to escalate, typically with common sense and good humour. Most importantly, he simply made few mistakes. "They all rated me the best: Sobers, Richards, Lillee and Botham. That means a lot I can tell you," he admitted. Harold "Dickie" Bird was born in Barnsley in April 1933. 5'10" and a right-hand batsman, Bird played in a Barnsley side that included Geoff Boycott and the journalist Michael Parkinson, with whom he remained friends. A good enough player to have represented Yorkshire during their period of dominance (debuting in 1956 against Scotland), a regular first team place eluded him in such a strong side (his career best performance 181* against Glamorgan at Bradford in 1959 was rewarded with omission from the next game as the senior players returned from Test duty) and he moved to Leicestershire at the end of that year. He won his county cap in his first season, 1960, in which he topped 1,000 first-class runs, but later referred to the decision to leave Yorkshire as "the biggest mistake of my life". Bird retired relatively early, aged just 32, and spent a few years coaching and playing as a club professional. He later admitted to regret that his playing career had not been more successful (first-class average: 20.71): "I just wish I'd have believed in myself as a batsman the way I do as an umpire," he told The Cricketer (November 1998) during his final match as an umpire. "I had the ability I can tell you. If you had compared me to Boycott in the nets you would have picked me as the Test player. Ray Illingworth said I played as straight as anyone he'd ever seen. Umpiring has been good to me, but it is the second-best thing to playing." Bird officiated his first game in 1970, with his first Test coming against New Zealand at Leeds in 1973. In 1992 he stood in Zimbabwe's inaugural Test as the first ICC panel umpire. A guard of honour by the players and a standing ovation from the crowd as England took on India in 1996 marked his final Test, at his beloved Lord's. Bird, always an emotional man, was reduced to tears. In all he officiated in 66 Tests and 69 One-Day Internationals, overtaking Frank Chester's record (of 48 Tests) in Zimbabwe in 1996. His final first-class game was at Headingley, between Yorkshire and Warwickshire in 1998. Bird was awarded the MBE in June 1986 in the Queen's Birthday Honours List ("It means more to me than my life," he commented) and became a frequent tea-time visitor at the Palace, apparently attending more than 20 times. He gained other remarkable friends, including former Prime Minister John Major, billionaire cricket fanatic John Paul Getty and the thriller writer Stephen King. "I wish I'd had a family. That's where I missed out in life," he lamented on his retirement but his oft-repeated phrase was that he was "married to the game." Bird's real legacy will be top-quality umpiring. Calm, despite his nervous disposition; consistent, despite his erratic body movements; and unimpeachably impartial despite his obvious love for all things Yorkshire and England, Bird added to the enjoyment of the spectators without ever detracting from the cricket.

"A Great Society" for the American people and their fellow men elsewhere was the vision of Lyndon B. Johnson. In his first years of office he obtained passage of one of the most extensive legislative programs in the Nation's history. Maintaining collective security, he carried on the rapidly growing struggle to restrain Communist encroachment in Viet Nam. Johnson was born on August 27, 1908, in central Texas, not far from Johnson City, which his family had helped settle. He felt the pinch of rural poverty as he grew up, working his way through Southwest Texas State Teachers College (now known as Texas State University-San Marcos); he learned compassion for the poverty of others when he taught students of Mexican descent. In 1937 he campaigned successfully for the House of Representatives on a New Deal platform, effectively aided by his wife, the former Claudia "Lady Bird" Taylor, whom he had married in 1934. During World War II he served briefly in the Navy as a lieutenant commander, winning a Silver Star in the South Pacific. After six terms in the House, Johnson was elected to the Senate in 1948. In 1953, he became the youngest Minority Leader in Senate history, and the following year, when the Democrats won control, Majority Leader. With rare skill he obtained passage of a number of key Eisenhower measures. In the 1960 campaign, Johnson, as John F. Kennedy's running mate, was elected Vice President. On November 22, 1963, when Kennedy was assassinated, Johnson was sworn in as President. First he obtained enactment of the measures President Kennedy had been urging at the time of his death--a new civil rights bill and a tax cut. Next he urged the Nation "to build a great society, a place where the meaning of man's life matches the marvels of man's labor." In 1964, Johnson won the Presidency with 61 percent of the vote and had the widest popular margin in American history--more than 15,000,000 votes. The Great Society program became Johnson's agenda for Congress in January 1965: aid to education, attack on disease, Medicare, urban renewal, beautification, conservation, development of depressed regions, a wide-scale fight against poverty, control and prevention of crime and delinquency, removal of obstacles to the right to vote. Congress, at times augmenting or amending, rapidly enacted Johnson's recommendations. Millions of elderly people found succor through the 1965 Medicare amendment to the Social Security Act. Under Johnson, the country made spectacular explorations of space in a program he had championed since its start. When three astronauts successfully orbited the moon in December 1968, Johnson congratulated them: "You've taken ... all of us, all over the world, into a new era. . . . " Nevertheless, two overriding crises had been gaining momentum since 1965. Despite the beginning of new antipoverty and anti-discrimination programs, unrest and rioting in black ghettos troubled the Nation. President Johnson steadily exerted his influence against segregation and on behalf of law and order, but there was no early solution. The other crisis arose from Viet Nam. Despite Johnson's efforts to end Communist aggression and achieve a settlement, fighting continued. Controversy over the war had become acute by the end of March 1968, when he limited the bombing of North Viet Nam in order to initiate negotiations. At the same time, he startled the world by withdrawing as a candidate for re-election so that he might devote his full efforts, unimpeded by politics, to the quest for peace. When he left office, peace talks were under way; he did not live to see them successful, but died suddenly of a heart attack at his Texas ranch on January 22, 1973.

He starred alongside greats like Doris Day and Elizabeth Taylor Australian actor Rod Taylor, who starred in Alfred Hitchcock's thriller The Birds, has died aged 84, according to reports in the US. Taylor, who lived in the United States, is said to have died at his home in Los Angeles after a dinner party. He came to prominence in the 1960s, starring alongside Hollywood greats like Jane Fonda and Richard Burton. In 2009, he made a cameo as ex-UK Prime Minister Winston Churchill in Quentin Tarantino's film Inglourious Basterds. He got his first leading role in the 1960 adaptation of HG Wells' science-fiction classic The Time Machine and went on to star in several hit films in the 1960s and 1970s. He also voiced one of the Dalmatian dogs in Disney's animated hit 101 Dalmatians. Tippi Hedren, his co-star in The Birds, told People magazine that Taylor had been "a great pal to me and a real strength". "He was one of the most fun people I have ever met, thoughtful and classy. There was everything good in that man," she said. He was due to turn 85 on Sunday. He is survived by spouse Carol Kikumura and daughter Felicia Rodrica Sturt Taylor, a TV presenter in the US.


The Birds were a 60s R&B; group, but name their guitarist who went on to bigger things, and still tours in 2014

Band | The Rolling Stones The Rolling Stones First gig: 12 July 1962 Venue: Marquee Club, London Lineup: Mick Jagger Keith Richards Brian Jones Ian Stewart Dick Taylor Tony Chapman Band When the nascent Rolling Stones began playing gigs around London in 1962, the notion that a rock & roll band would last five years, let alone fifty, was an absurdity. After all, what could possibly be more ephemeral than rock & roll, the latest teenage fad? Besides, other factors made it unlikely that such a momentous occasion would ever come to pass. “I didn’t expect to last until fifty myself, let alone with the Stones,” Keith Richards says with a laugh. “It’s incredible, really. In that sense we’re still living on borrowed time.” “You have to put yourself back into that time,” Mick Jagger says about those early days when he and Keith and guitarist Brian Jones roomed together and were hustling gigs wherever they could find one. “Popular music wasn’t talked about on any kind of intellectual level. There was no such term as ‘popular culture.’ None of those things existed.” “But suddenly popular music became bigger than it had ever been before. It became an important, perhaps the most important, art form of the period, after not at all being regarded as an art form before.” Mick Jagger  Times and attitudes quickly changed, in short, and now five decades later, the Rolling Stones are celebrating an anniversary that artists in any field would be overjoyed to attain. Indeed, the Stones will be marking the fiftieth anniversary of their first gig at the Marquee Club in London on July 12, 1962 with a celebratory appearance at that storied venue, five decades later to the day. At that first show, the group was billed as the Rollin’ Stones and, of what would become the band’s original lineup, only Mick Jagger, Keith Richards, Brian Jones and keyboardist Ian Stewart performed. Bill Wyman and Charlie Watts would formally join in January of 1963, and Stewart officially left the band in May, though he continued on as the Stones’ road manager and occasionally played with them both on stage and in the studio until his death in 1985. To commemorate the Stones’ 50th anniversary, noted filmmaker Brett Morgen directed a no-holds-barred documentary about the band, Crossfire Hurricane, and the Stones released GRRR!, a greatest hits collection that includes two brand new songs and a stunning album cover designed by Walton Ford. The Stones then went back on the road for the 50 & Counting Tour, visiting London, New York and other cities across North America and Canada in celebration of five decades, culminating with a legendary performance at the UK’s Glastonbury Festival plus two major outdoor shows in London’s Hyde Park, chronicled in the concert film Sweet Summer Sun – Hyde Park Live. The Stones then launched another sell out tour, 14 ON FIRE, that brought them to Asia, Australia and New Zealand. In 2015 the band stunned audiences in the USA for the umpteenth time with their Zip Code tour and a re-mastered Sticky Fingers album. In early 2016, the Stones launched their América Latina Olé tour, which consisted of thirteen electrifying dates in Central and South America. As a dramatic capstone to that trip, the Stones performed in Cuba for the first time, electrifying an audience of 1.2 million fans in Havana. In another historic live performance, the Stones will participate this October in Desert Trip, a three-day superstar festival in Indio, California that will also feature Bob Dylan, Paul McCartney, the Who, Neil Young and Roger Waters. In addition, Exhibitionism, a groundbreaking, career-spanning exhibition devoted to the Stones’ legendary history, opened earlier this year at the Saatchi Gallery in London to rave reviews. It will travel to New York this November for a run at Industria. To mark the Stones’ 50th anniversary a few years back, a book was produced, The Rolling Stones: 50, chronicling the group’s legendary journey through rare and previously unseen photographs, including images from every aspect of the Stones’ history – reportage photos, shots fr

World's Largest Spider Travel World's Largest Spider The goliath birdeater tarantula of South America is arguably the biggest spider in the world. Watch as one hapless mouse wanders into a spider's… more They're the big, hairy spiders of our nightmares. And it's no wonder we're afraid. Tarantulas are the biggest of all of the arachnids. These spiders are killing machines, perfectly adapted to their habitats. And the biggest and baddest of them all is the Goliath. It can grow to nearly a foot across, with fangs an inch long. The Goliath makes its home in the remote rainforests of South America. Night is when the Goliath is most active. But for these ambush predators, hunting means lying in wait. Near the entrance to her burrow, she lays down a silk welcome mat. It acts like a trip-wire, letting her know when something has ventured within range. Even with eight eyes, Goliaths-like most spiders-have weak vision. They're alerted to the presence of prey by vibrations rippling across their sensitive hairs. It's only a matter of time before some hapless creature-like this floor mouse-wanders too close, and brushes against the silk. It's like ringing a dinner bell. The Goliath's venom proves fatal to this mouse. But for most people, the tarantula's bite is no worse than a bee sting. According to researchers, there's never been a single confirmed human death from a tarantula bite. Perhaps knowing the facts about these ancient predators can help turn human fear… into fascination.

Who is credited with organising the first package holidays?

Thomas Cook History Thomas Cook History Thomas Cook History Thomas Cook is the world’s best-known name in travel, thanks to the inspiration and dedication of a single man. Thomas Cook began his international travel company in 1841, with a successful one-day rail excursion at a shilling a head from Leicester to Loughborough on 5 July. From these humble beginnings Thomas Cook launched a whole new kind of company – devoted to helping Britons see the world. View key dates of Thomas Cook history A Brief History On 9 June 1841 a 32-year old cabinet-maker named Thomas Cook walked from his home in Market Harborough to the nearby town of Leicester to attend a temperance meeting. A former Baptist preacher, Thomas Cook was a religious man who believed that most Victorian social problems were related to alcohol and that the lives of working people would be greatly improved if they drank less and became better educated. As he walked along the road to Leicester, he later recalled, 'the thought suddenly flashed across my mind as to the practicability of employing the great powers of railways and locomotion for the furtherance of this social reform'. At the meeting, Thomas suggested that a special train be engaged to carry the temperance supporters of Leicester to a meeting in Loughborough about four weeks later. The proposal was received with such enthusiasm that, on the following day, Thomas submitted his idea to the secretary of the Midland Railway Company. A train was subsequently arranged, and on 5 July 1841 about 500 passengers were conveyed in open carriages the enormous distance of 12 miles and back for a shilling. The day was a great success and, as Thomas later recorded, 'thus was struck the keynote of my excursions, and the social idea grew upon me'.  Early Tours During the next three summers Thomas arranged a succession of trips between Leicester, Nottingham, Derby and Birmingham on behalf of local temperance societies and Sunday schools. Within these limits many thousands of people experienced rail travel for the first time, and Thomas was able to lay the foundations of his future business. He later described this period as one of 'enthusiastic philanthropy' since, beyond the printing of posters and handbills, he had no financial interest in any of these early excursions. Thomas Cook's first commercial venture took place in the summer of 1845, when he organised a trip to Liverpool. This was a far more ambitious project than anything he had previously attempted, and he made his preparations with great thoroughness. Not content with simply providing tickets at low prices - 15 shillings for first-class passengers and 10 shillings for second. Thomas also investigated the route and published a handbook of the journey. This 60-page booklet was a forerunner of the modern holiday brochure. The Great Exhibition By the end of 1850, having already visited Wales, Scotland and Ireland, Thomas Cook began to contemplate foreign trips to Europe, the United States and the Holy Land. Such thoughts had to be postponed, however, when Sir Joseph Paxton, architect of the Crystal Palace, persuaded Thomas to devote himself to bringing workers from Yorkshire and the Midlands to London for the Great Exhibition of 1851. This he did with great enthusiasm, rarely spending a night at home between June and October, and he even produced a newspaper, Cook's Exhibition Herald and Excursion Advertiser, in order to promote his tours. By the end of the season Thomas had taken 150,000 people to London, his final trains to the Exhibition carrying 3,000 children from Leicester, Nottingham and Derby. Across the Channel Thomas continued to expand his business in Britain, but he was determined to develop it in Europe too. In 1855 an International Exhibition was held in Paris for the first time and Thomas seized this opportunity by trying to persuade the companies commanding the Channel traffic to allow him concessions. They refused to work with him, however, and the only route he was able to use was the one between Harwich and Antwerp. This opened up the way for a g


Strawberry tongue is a characteristic of which (colourful) disease?

What Is Strawberry Tongue? (with pictures) What Is Strawberry Tongue? Last Modified Date: 31 December 2016 Copyright Protected: Top 10 unbelievable historical concurrencies Strawberry tongue is a physical exam finding in which the upper surface of a patient’s tongue has a distinct red coloration and a characteristic bumpy appearance because of inflammation of the taste buds. This condition is most closely associated with scarlet fever , a childhood illness that is caused by a certain type of bacteria. Toxic shock syndrome, another bacterial infection, also is associated with this tongue abnormality. Kawasaki's disease is another cause of the symptom. Strawberry tongue should be differentiated from other conditions, such as vitamin deficiencies, that can also cause tongue inflammation. The appearance of strawberry tongue is characterized by a bright red discoloration of the surface of the tongue. It also is associated with a change in the texture of the tongue; the surface of the tongue becomes bumpier because inflammation increases the size of the tastebuds. Many people describe this finding as a looking like a strawberry because of similarities in color and texture between the tongue and the fruit. This condition must be differentiated, of course, from other causes of tongue staining, such as eating red candy or a red popsicle. Having this tongue condition is most closely linked to a childhood illness called scarlet fever. This disease is caused by infection of bacteria called Streptococcus pyogenes. People who have scarlet fever also experience symptoms such as fever, chills, a sandpaper-like skin rash and a sore throat. It can be treated with antibiotics. Ad Other bacterial infections also can be associated with strawberry tongue. One is toxic shock syndrome, a disease that can be caused by the bacterial species Streptoccoccus pyogenes or Staphylococcus aureus. This syndrome can be life-threatening, causing symptoms such as fever, low blood pressure and rash. Another cause of strawberry tongue in children is Kawasaki syndrome, also known as mucocutaneous lymph node syndrome. It causes additional symptoms such as rash, enlarged lymph nodes , eye inflammation and generalized redness and swelling of the mouth and nose. Recognizing and treating this infection is critical because it can have side effects such as the development of coronary artery aneurysms, which can be fatal. Some other causes of tongue inflammation can mimic strawberry tongue. For example, vitamin deficiencies such as a lack of dietary vitamin B12 can cause the tongue to become red and inflamed, a condition called glossitis . Vitamin deficiencies typically do not cause inflammation of the taste buds, but they can cause erosion and irritation of the corners of the lips. Ad

In Arthurian legend, what is the name of the enchantress who is Arthur's half sister?

Morgan Le Fay Morgan Le Fay, a powerful female             figure in the Arthur legends,             represents control, sorcery, and             manipulation. She uses             underhanded, often manipulative             methods to create her power.             During King Arthur's reign, and in             various romances and folk tales,             Morgan shows up as a shape-shifter.             She is a fairy, a queen, a mermaid, a             beautiful young woman, a crone, a             hag, an enchantress or a witch. In             some accounts, Morgan has a bad             reputation; she is evil, sexual, a             temptress. Elsewhere, Morgan is a             heroine. The inconsistency of the             research material available makes it             difficult to pinpoint who Morgan Le             Fay actually was. But one thing is for             certain: Morgan is a woman of             mystery. Morgan is often said to be the             half-sister of King Arthur, who had a             child with him. Sometimes she is the             mistress of Merlin, who taught her magic. Others say she learned her             magical arts in a nunnery. It is said             that Morgan was the most             intelligent and educated woman of             her time: "At King Arthur's Court, prior to             the year 542, only priests and             priestesses were educated in             reading, writing, astronomy, oratory,             and philosophy. The princes were             educated principally in warfare,             etiquette, physical prowess, and             oratory. Lancelot was able to read             the names on tombstones. Arthur             was not able to do that, but Perceval             could read. Arthur's half-sister             Morgan was known from early             childhood to be the most intelligent,             and the best educated of the             priestesses, and she outlived             Arthur, with whom she was never on             good terms" (Goodrich 18). Traditionally, in most of the legends,             Morgan and Arthur are not on good             terms. It is never explained exactly             why they don't get along, but some             researchers have presented their             own ideas. According to the Encyclopedia of Witches and             Witchcraft, "Morgan, invariably             portrayed as evil, plotted against             Arthur to steal his sword, Excalibur,             or otherwise bring him down" (236).             According to Henry Pyle, author of The Story of King Arthur and His Knights, Morgan had a vendetta             with Arthur: "After Queen Morgana Le Fay had             come to the Island of Avalon as             aforetold, she brooded a great deal             over the afront which she deemed             King Arthur had placed upon her             house; and the more she brooded             upon it the more big it became in             her mind. Wherefore, at last it             seemed to her that she could have             no pleasure in life unless she could             punish King Arthur for that which             he had done. Yea, she would have             been glad to see him down at her             feet because of the great anger that

Which U.S. actor played the title role in Spartacus ?

'Spartacus' Star Whitfield Dies at 39 | Fox News 'Spartacus' Star Whitfield Dies at 39 Published        September 11, 2011 Facebook 0 Twitter 0 livefyre Email Print This Thursday, Jan. 21, 2010 file photo shows actor Andy Whitfield at a screening of "Extraordinary Measures" in New York. Whitfield, the 37-year-old star of the cable TV series Spartacus: Blood and Sand, died of non-Hodgkins Lymphoma in Australia on Sunday, Sept. 11, 2011.  (AP) LOS ANGELES –  Andy Whitfield, who played the title role in the hit cable series "Spartacus: Blood and Sand," has died at age 39, according to representatives and family. Whitfield died Sunday in Sydney, Australia , 18 months after he was diagnosed with non-Hodgkin lymphoma , manager Sam Maydew told the Associated Press. "On a beautiful sunny Sydney spring morning, surrounded by his family, in the arms of his loving wife, our beautiful young warrior Andy Whitfield lost his 18 month battle with lymphoma cancer," Whitfield's wife Vashti said in a statement. "He passed peacefully surrounded by love. Thank you to all his fans whose love and support have help carry him to this point. He will be remembered as the inspiring, courageous and gentle man, father and husband he was." Andy Whitfield -- who was born in Wales and moved to Australia in 1999 -- was a virtual unknown when he was cast as the legendary Thracian slave in "Spartacus," a role made famous by Kirk Douglas in the 1960 Stanley Kubrick film. The series proved a breakout hit for the Starz network and made waves with its graphic violence and sexuality. Whitfield appeared in all 13 episodes of the first season that aired in 2010, and was preparing to shoot the second when he was diagnosed with cancer. While waiting for Whitfield's treatment and expected recovery, the network produced a six-part prequel, "Spartacus: Gods of the Arena," that aired earlier this year with only a brief voiceover from the actor. But in January after Whitfield's condition grew worse, the network announced that another Australian actor, Liam McIntyre, would take over the role. "We are deeply saddened by the loss of our dear friend and colleague, Andy Whitfield," Starz President and CEO Chris Albrecht said in a statement Sunday night. "We were fortunate to have worked with Andy in `Spartacus' and came to know that the man who played a champion on-screen was also a champion in his own life." Whitfield's previous credits included appearances on the Australian TV shows "Packed to the Rafters" and "McLeod's Daughters." Advertisement
