## Abstract

It had its world premiere at the Cannes Film Festival on 11 July in 2021. It was released in France on 14 July in 2021 by Les Films du Losange. It was released in Sweden on 1 October in 2021.

## Plot

A filmmaking couple, Chris and Tony Sanders, travel to Fårö, the island where Ingmar Bergman lived and worked, to attend a film screening. Tony is an admirer of Bergman and is inspired by the island. Chris struggles with a dislike for Bergman for his personal failings, specifically in how he treated the women in his life and as a father, despite loving his movies.

During the Q&A after a screening of Tony's film, Chris sneaks out. At the church where Bergman is buried she meets Hampus, a Swedish film student also participating in a residency. She decides to take him up on his offer to explore the island, leaving Tony to take the touristy Bergman Safari alone.

The next day after Chris realizes how productive Tony has found his time on the island she reveals she is struggling with her work and has only a rough outline. She decides to share her work with Tony, hoping he can help her. Tony isn't at his desk in a neighboring cottage, so Chris sneaks a look at Tony's journal. She discovers that Tony has hand drawn a number of provocative and abusive pictures of female figures in painful, subjugated positions.

In the screenplay Chris is writing, Amy (Mia Wasikowska), an American filmmaker in her late 20s, is travelling to Fårö for the wedding of a friend. Another one of the guests is a man named Joseph (Anders Danielsen Lie). Amy and Joseph had a love affair as teens and then rekindled their relationship as adults before breaking up once more. During the pre-wedding celebrations they spend the day together and then, after the wedding, go skinny dipping before having sex. The two discuss still being in love with each other despite both being in relationships and loving other people. Amy is crushed when she realizes that Joseph has been repeatedly unfaithful to his girlfriend. The following morning Joseph expresses regret that they slept together while Amy is unrepentant. Amy tries to continue their affair during the brief time they have left but Joseph repeatedly brushes her off. After asking if he can see her in her room on the final night, Joseph fails to come and Amy later learns he left the island without telling her. Amy returns to her rented home and Chris confesses this is where she is stuck on her screenplay offering the morbid idea that Amy could possibly attempt suicide. Several times during Chris' telling Tony interrupts Chris, takes phone calls, or is otherwise disengaged, and ultimately says he can't help her with the ending.

Tony leaves Fårö to collect their daughter June and bring her to the island. Chris heads to her study to work on her screenplay.

Chris travels to the Bergman Estate and runs into Hampus on his way out. He leaves her the key and she falls asleep. She is woken up by Anders Danielsen Lie who reveals that despite wrapping up his scenes for the day he has stayed in order to see Bergman's house. He expresses disappointment Chris did not write a scene in which he could appear in Bergman's house and Chris shows him the library. Later they attend a dinner with Mia Wasikowska. Anders Danielsen Lie and Chris play a game of Ludo late into the night. He thanks her for casting him in her movie before encouraging her to go to sleep before the busy day ahead.

Tony returns to the island with June, who reunites with Chris at a windmill on Bergman's property.

A Quiet Place: Day One

# A Quiet Place: Day One

## Abstract

A Quiet Place: Day One is a 2024 American apocalyptic horror film written and directed by Michael Sarnoski, based on a story he conceived with John Krasinski. It is the third installment in the A Quiet Place film series, serving as a spin-off and prequel. The film stars Lupita Nyong'o as a terminally ill woman during the early stages of an invasion in New York City by blind, extraterrestrial creatures with an acute sense of hearing. The supporting cast includes Joseph Quinn, Alex Wolff, and Djimon Hounsou, who reprises his role from A Quiet Place Part II.

Development on A Quiet Place: Day One began in November 2020, with Jeff Nichols set to write and direct. Despite a completed script, Nichols dropped out of the film in October 2021. In January 2022, Sarnoski was announced to replace Nichols as writer and director; he was approached by Krasinski because of his feature directorial debut Pig (2021). Principal photography took place from February 2023 to April 2023 in London, England.

A Quiet Place: Day One premiered at the Tribeca Festival on June 26, 2024, and was released in the United States by Paramount Pictures on June 28, 2024. The film received positive reviews from critics and grossed $261 million worldwide.

## Plot

Samira "Sam", a pessimistic, terminally ill cancer patient, lives at a hospice outside New York City with her cat, Frodo. Reuben, a nurse, convinces a reluctant Sam to join a group outing to a marionette show in Manhattan. While in the city, the group notices meteor-like objects falling from the sky. Shortly afterwards, hostile extraterrestrial creatures attack the gathered crowd and passersby. A creature hits a noisy ambulance, and the explosion knocks Sam unconscious.

Sam later wakes up inside the puppet theater with Frodo and other survivors, including Henri, who signals her to remain quiet. Announcements from military helicopters warn civilians to stay silent and hidden until the authorities can rescue them. Sam then witnesses fighter jets bombing and destroying the bridges leading out of Manhattan, preventing the creatures from leaving the island. One of the survivors begins to panic, and Henri accidentally kills him in the process of trying to keep him silent.

The power grid cuts out that night, causing the building's emergency generator to noisily activate. Reuben turns it off, but attracts a creature that kills him on hearing his shirt rip. A distraught Sam takes Frodo and leaves for Harlem. The military announces it is preparing to evacuate civilians by boat from the South Street Seaport as the creatures are unable to swim. Groups of people start leaving buildings towards the evacuation point, but the volume of their crowded movement alerts the creatures, who attack them and cause a stampede. Sam flees in the opposite direction and is separated from Frodo.

Eric, an English law student, escapes a flooded subway station and encounters Frodo, following him back to Sam. She attempts to convince Eric to go south to the evacuation point, but Eric is in shock and follows Sam back to her apartment instead. While there, Eric learns Sam is an acclaimed and published poet. The next morning, Sam leaves alone for Harlem, but Eric finds her and they continue their journey together. Sam and Eric accidentally alert the creatures, and flee into a flooded subway. With no other way out, the pair is forced to wade through the deep waters, eventually waking a dormant creature that pursues them but drowns while they escape.

The pair end up in a ruined church, and while Sam rests, Eric ventures out alone to get pain medication for her from a pharmacy. He then rescues Frodo from a construction site, discovering a group of creatures led by a larger one feeding on the remains of an organic egg-like pod. Sam tells Eric that as a child, she used to watch her late father play jazz at a club in Harlem, and would get pizza with him at Patsy's afterward, something Sam always wanted to do before she died. Eric fulfills Sam's wish by taking her to the club, collecting pizza from another store, and performing a magic card trick to cheer her up.

Eric and Sam see a boat in the river, filled with survivors escaping Manhattan. As the two leave together, creatures start to congregate along the shore. Sam gives Eric her sweater and Frodo, and then runs off to distract creatures by smashing car windows. As a result, car alarms activate which attract the creatures away from the coastline. Meanwhile, Eric and Frodo jump into the water and are pulled up into a boat by Henri. Eric then finds a note in the jacket written by Sam, telling him to take care of Frodo and thanking him for reminding her to live.

Sam walks into a deserted street as she listens to Nina Simone 's " Feeling Good " on her iPod. Accepting her death, Sam smiles as she unplugs her earphones and lets the music blare, causing a creature to suddenly appear behind her.

## Production

In November 2020, Paramount Pictures announced a spin-off film set within the same world as A Quiet Place (2018), with Jeff Nichols set to write and direct, based on a story by John Krasinski. In May 2021, Krasinski disclosed that Nichols' completed script had been submitted to the studio. By October, however, Nichols dropped out of the film to focus on a different project at Paramount, and in January 2022, Michael Sarnoski was announced to replace Nichols as writer and director. Krasinski approached Sarnoski after seeing his indie feature directorial debut, Pig (2021). Day One is a co-production between Platinum Dunes and Sunday Night Productions, with Michael Bay, Andrew Form, Brad Fuller, and Krasinski producing. Sarnoski cited Children of Men (2006) as an inspiration for the film's look.

Lupita Nyong'o and Joseph Quinn came on board to star in November 2022. Nyong'o's character in the film, "Sam", has a cat, "Frodo". The actress had asked Sarnoski if they could change the animal due to a fear of cats, which she overcame with cat therapy; by the end of production, she adopted a cat of her own. Paramount executives wanted Frodo to be computer-generated, but Sarnoski's insistence for a real cat changed their minds. Frodo was played by two cats named Nico and Schnitzel. The script originally depicted Frodo as hissing and arching its back, a natural reaction to feeling threatened, which animal handlers could not train the cats to do; to avoid scaring the cats or using CGI, those elements were removed. The character of Sam was inspired by Sarnoski's desire to subvert expectations of the genre by focusing on "someone who had a different relationship to death and survival". Alex Wolff, who starred in Sarnoski's Pig, was cast in January 2023. Djimon Hounsou reprised his unnamed character from A Quiet Place Part II (2020), revealed to be named "Henri". Denis O'Hare was cast in an undisclosed role, but his character was cut from the final film.

Principal photography took place from February 6 to April 11, 2023, in London, though the film is set in New York City. Simon Bowles was the production designer, and Pat Scola, who shot Pig, served as cinematographer. The backlot at Warner Bros. Studios, Leavesden was utilized to recreate four NYC blocks, each two stories high, including Mott Street in Chinatown and parts of Harlem, the Lower East Side, and the Upper East Side. Bowles designed 3D models of his sets through SketchUp to allow Sarnoski and Scola to test angles beforehand. London Charing Cross was used to shoot the subway sequence. During post-production, Alexis Grapsas, who worked on Pig, composed the score and Industrial Light & Magic completed the visual effects. The film's budget was $67 million.

## Release

The world premiere of A Quiet Place: Day One was held at the Tribeca Festival on June 26, 2024, as a special presentation taking place after the festival itself, which was held from June 5–16. It was released in the United States by Paramount Pictures on June 28, 2024. It was previously scheduled to be released on March 31, 2023, then on September 22, 2023, and on March 8, 2024. The film was released by Paramount Home Entertainment for digital download on July 30, 2024, and is set to be released on DVD, Blu-ray, and Ultra HD Blu-ray on October 8, 2024.

## Reception

### Box office

As of August 29, 2024, A Quiet Place: Day One has grossed $138.9 million in the United States and Canada, and $122.6 million in other territories, for a worldwide total of $261.5 million.

In the United States and Canada, A Quiet Place: Day One was released alongside Horizon: An American Saga – Chapter 1, and was projected to gross $40–50 million from 3,707 theaters in its opening weekend. The film made $22.5 million on its first day, including $6.8 million from Thursday night previews, the best of the series. It went on to debut at $52.2 million, marking the best opening weekend of the franchise while finishing second behind holdover Inside Out 2. Anthony D'Alessandro of Deadline Hollywood attributed the accomplishment to heat waves prompting people to visit theaters, substantial walk-up business (66% of moviegoers bought tickets the day of their screening), and turnout from diverse audiences (of the opening weekend, 32% identified as Hispanic and Latino, higher than the first film's 28%). IMAX and Premium Large Formats (PLFs) accounted for 39% of the earnings, with IMAX specifically earning 11% of the weekend take. The film then made $20.6 million in its second weekend, finishing in third, and $11.4 million in its third weekend, finishing in fourth.

Internationally, the film earned $45.5 million from 59 overseas markets, a 4% increase over the opening weekend of Part II. The biggest markets were China ($9.8 million), Mexico ($4.7 million), the United Kingdom ($3.9 million), Australia ($2.6 million), and South Korea ($2.5 million).

### Critical response

On the review aggregator website Rotten Tomatoes, 86% of 270 critics' reviews are positive, with an average rating of 7.1/10. The website's consensus reads: "Grounded in raw humanity by Lupita Nyong'o and Joseph Quinn, this sideways entry into A Quiet Place finds fresh notes of fright to play amongst the silence." According to the website, critics found the film tense though less terrifying than its predecessors, and praised the performances, including the cat Frodo. Metacritic, which uses a weighted average, assigned the film a score of 68 out of 100, based on 53 critics, indicating "generally favorable" reviews. Audiences surveyed by CinemaScore gave the film an average grade of "B+" on an A+ to F scale (the same score as the first film), while those surveyed by PostTrak gave it a 79% overall positive score, with 59% saying they would definitely recommend it.

Entertainment Weekly gave the film a B+ and stated, "Anyone who has seen the previous A Quiet Place films knows that an exuberant happy ending is not awaiting Samira and Eric but, in the time they have together, perhaps they can find things that will make life a little better. You can see this same sensitivity with performers in A Quiet Place: Day One. Nyong'o walks from Chinatown to Harlem for a slice of pizza even though aliens are killing everyone in the city. On paper, that's idiotic. But somehow, this movie ends up being quite touching in between scenes when it's making you jump." A two and a half star review at RogerEbert.com stated, "There are enough interesting ideas and at least two confident performances holding A Quiet Place: Day One together, even if it sometimes feels like a first draft of a richer, more complex final film." Rating it three out of five stars, Peter Bradshaw 's review for The Guardian read: "It's an efficient, if familiar, spectacle of suspense."

Variety ' s Peter Debruge criticized the fact that most of the film was "tiptoeing through a mostly off-screen apocalypse".

Paleobiota of the Green River Formation

# Paleobiota of the Green River Formation

## Abstract

The Green River Formation is a geological formation located in the Intermountain West of the United States, in the states of Colorado, Utah, and Wyoming. It comprises sediments deposited during the Early Eocene in a series of large freshwater lakes: Lake Gosiute, Lake Uinta, and Fossil Lake (the last containing Fossil Butte National Monument). It preserves a high diversity of freshwater fish, birds, reptiles, and mammals, with some sections of the formation (including Fossil Lake and the Parachute Creek member of Lake Uinta) qualifying as Konservat-Lagerstätten due to their extremely well-preserved fossils.

## Bony fish

Primarily based on Grande (2001), with changes where necessary:

## Amphibians

2024 Go Bowling at The Glen

# 2024 Go Bowling at The Glen

## Abstract

The 2024 Go Bowling at The Glen was a NASCAR Cup Series race that will be held on September 15, 2024, at Watkins Glen International in Watkins Glen, New York. Contested over 90 laps on the 2.45-mile (3.94 km) road course, it will be the 28th race of the 2024 NASCAR Cup Series season, the second of the 2024 NASCAR playoffs, and the second race of the Round of 16.

## Report

### Background

Watkins Glen International (nicknamed "The Glen") is an automobile race track located in Watkins Glen, New York at the southern tip of Seneca Lake. It was long known around the world as the home of the Formula One United States Grand Prix, which it hosted for twenty consecutive years (1961–1980), but the site has been home to road racing of nearly every class, including the World Sportscar Championship, Trans-Am, Can-Am, NASCAR Cup Series, the International Motor Sports Association and the IndyCar Series.

Initially, public roads in the village were used for the race course. In 1956 a permanent circuit for the race was built. In 1968 the race was extended to six hours, becoming the 6 Hours of Watkins Glen. The circuit's current layout has more or less been the same since 1971, although a chicane was installed at the uphill Esses in 1975 to slow cars through these corners, where there was a fatality during practice at the 1973 United States Grand Prix. The chicane was removed in 1985, but another chicane called the "Inner Loop" was installed in 1992 after J.D. McDuffie's fatal accident during the previous year's NASCAR Winston Cup event.

The circuit is known as the Mecca of North American road racing and is a very popular venue among fans and drivers. The facility is currently owned by NASCAR.

Waiongona railway station

# Waiongona railway station

## Abstract

Waiongona railway station was a rural railway station on the Marton - New Plymouth Line serving the small locality of Waiongona in New Zealand 's Taranaki district. Located on Mountain Road, the station was relocated from its original site in 1893. The station closed to all traffic in 1958, though freight trains continue to pass through the station site.

## History

The original Waiongona station was erected in 1877 as part of the new railway line between Sentry Hill and Inglewood. It was located just north of the Waiongona Stream bridge and Mountain Road level crossing (since bypassed). The official opening date was 30 November 1877, but an advertisement from 9 August 1877 shows good trains running every Tuesday and Friday for "Waiongona Siding".

In 1892 it was noted that "Waiongona station is at the foot of a 1 in 56 grade, and consists of a backshunt for six wagons. Trains stopping to shunt block the main road and a portion could be on the river bridge. " These issues led to the closure of the station and its movement 1 mile 37 chain closer to New Plymouth. Despite a petition from local residents against the station being moved this was completed on 26 June 1893 and the old site cleared.

### The Replacement Station

The new station was listed as having an accommodation shelter shed & passenger platform (on the roadside of the station), a cart approach to the platform, and a loading bank. A single loop was provided, originally listed as having space for 15 wagons but gradually increased in capacity until by 1911 it was recorded as having capacity for 45 wagons.

There was no dedicated goods shed originally provided, but in 1928 a galvanised iron shed measuring 12 feet by 8 feet was approved for transfer from Fordell station for storage of manures, etc. at Waiongona. The cost of the move was approximately £50.

In 1941 approval was sought from a local delivery goods loop to be provided for wagon loads of goods, as the existing loop was used for passing of trains. Due to wartime pressures, it wasn't until March 1946 that this was provided, with a twelve-wagon loop added for local traffic. The goods shed and loop were moved accordingly.

Unfortunately for the station, this change did little to secure the station's future, as in November 1955 it was noted that "Siding not used in over twelve months; goods shed not used for years. " and in 1956 the siding and goods shed closed to goods traffic, but the station remained open for passenger, parcels, and goods traffic in small lots. The end came soon afterwards and on 13 July 1958 the station was closed for both passenger and crossing purposes. By 15 October 1959 the crossing loop had been removed.


David J. Danelski

# David J. Danelski

## Abstract

David Joseph Danelski (born October 29, 1930) is an American lawyer and academic who is the Mary Lou and George Boone Centennial Professor and Director of the Stanford in Washington Program and Professor of Political Science (Teaching), Emeritus at Stanford University. He has been a professor of political science at a number of other institutions, with his longest stint being at Cornell University during the 1970s, and he was won several awards for his teaching. His specialties have included constitutional law of the United States, civil liberties in the United States, and the history and politics of the Supreme Court of the United States. He has worked as a lawyer in private practice as well in civil rights cases, and volunteered his services during the Mississippi Freedom Summer of 1964.

## Early life

Danelski was born on October 29, 1930 in Green Bay, Wisconsin. He attended Green Bay East High School, graduating in 1948.

He attended nearby St. Norbert College from 1948 to 1950 but did not earn a degree.

## Degrees and early career

He entered the DePaul University College of Law, earning an LL.B. degree from there in 1953. He was admitted to the bar in Illinois in 1953. \

During 1953, Danelski served as a reserve officer in the United States Navy Judge Advocate General's Corps with a rank of ensign. He remained a JAG officer during 1954.

He married Jill Parmer in 1954. They went on to have five children, with the family following him to his various positions, and she worked as an educational administrator.

Then Danelski went to Seattle University, where he completed a B.A. degree in 1955. He was admitted to the bar in Washington state in 1955, after which he was a partner in the law firm of Patrick & Danelski in Mount Vernon, Washington, from 1955 to 1956.

Following that, he went to the University of Chicago, where he received an M.A. in 1957. While in Chicago, he acted as a research attorney for the American Bar Foundation from 1957 to 1959.

He also worked as an instructor and assistant professor of political science at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign from 1959 to 1961, in particular teaching constitutional law (he may have been at UIUC a year earlier, in 1958). While there, in 1960 he became involved in the defense of Leo Koch, an assistant professor of biology who was terminated by the university president after making public remarks regarding sexual relations among students that did not conform to the 1950s-style morality of the time. The matter, which touched upon questions of academic freedom and freedom of speech in the United States, became front-page-headline news in the Chicago Daily Tribune. Danelski's actions got him on the wrong side of the university administration as well and, lacking tenure, he soon departed.

During this time, he remained working on his doctorate at the University of Chicago, and taking advantage of two fellowships, earned his Ph.D. in 1961. His dissertation was entitled "The Chief Justice and the Supreme Court".

## Middle career

By 1964, he was affiliated with the University of Washington, having started as an assistant professor there in 1961.

During 1963 and 1964, Danielski acted as a counsel for the American Civil Liberties Union in Washington. In 1964, during Mississippi Freedom Summer, he became one of several lawyers from the Seattle area to travel to Mississippi and volunteer their services. As such, he gave legal representation to civil rights workers in Mississippi.

He then moved across country to Yale University, where he was an associate professor beginning in 1964. During his time at Yale, he was awarded a Guggenheim Fellowship in 1968. He was also named a Fulbright scholar, and as that spent the 1968 – 69 academic year as a lecturer at the University of Tokyo. In 1969, while at Yale, he received from the Danforth Foundation a Harbison Prize for excellence in teaching.

Danelski came to Cornell University in Fall 1970 as a professor of public law and judicial behavior, and he and his family lived in Ithaca, New York. The Cornell Daily Sun viewed Danelski's reputation as such to headline its story "Liberal To Join Gov't Faculty". Danelski then became the Goldwin Smith Professor of Government at Cornell, having been named to that endowed chair in 1973.

Courses that Danelski taught at Cornell included "Civil Liberties in the United States", "Constitutional Politics", a freshman seminar in "Law and Society", and a two-semester interdisciplinary upperclass seminar in "Law and Social Science".

Danelski served as a University Ombudsman at Cornell from 1973 to 1975. In that role, Danelski sought to mediate conflicts within the university community.

## Later career

Danelski moved back west in 1979, becoming a professor of political science at Stanford University. He was also a partner in the Seattle law firm of Schroeter, Goldmark & Bender around this time; later he would maintain an " of counsel " title with them.

For the 1980 – 81 year, Danelski was a recipient of the Dean’s Award for Distinguished Teaching, given out by the university's School of Humanities and Sciences.

Subsequently he became the Cecil H. and Louise Gamble Professor of Political Science, Dean of the Faculty, and Vice-President for Academic Affairs at Occidental College.

He later returned to Stanford, and in 1988 he moved to the nation's capital in order to establish the Stanford in Washington program. This was a year-round successor to an earlier Stanford in Government internship program, and Danelski became the first director of it. Danelski stayed in that position until he retired from Stanford in 1993.

After his retirement, Danelski continued to do research and writing and have visiting appointments at universities.

## Scholarship

In 1973, Danelski co-edited with Joseph S. Tulchin a volume of autobiographical notes of Justice Charles Evan Hughes. A review in the Boston University Law Review called the job they did "thorough, precise, and well-documented", although it preferred that the editors pursue several critical analyses further than they did.

In the wake of the very controversial Robert Bork Supreme Court nomination, Danelski participated in a conference at Northwestern University to discuss the history behind such nominations and the ramifications of what had happened. Danelski's contribution examined the history of Supreme Court appointments being evaluated on an ideological basis; in it, Danelski found a middle ground between those who believed that ideological objections to nominations were historically common and those who believed them rare.

By 1994, Danelski was working on a biography of Justice William O. Douglas while working as a visiting professor at Whitman College, which Douglas had attended. A decade later Danelski was said to still be working on the volume, and was defending Douglas against published allegations that the justice had fabricated or embellished many aspects of his life story. One chapter of the biography was published as a journal article in 2015.

# Tom and Jerry: Robin Hood and His Merry Mouse

## Abstract

Tom and Jerry: Robin Hood and His Merry Mouse is a 2012 American animated direct-to-video action - adventure musical comedy film starring the seven-time Academy Award -winning cat -and- mouse duo Tom and Jerry as well as the historical and heroic outlaw Robin Hood. Produced by Warner Bros. Animation and Turner Entertainment Co., the film was released on DVD and Blu-ray on September 28, 2012.

The film was dedicated to the memory of actor, TV and comic writer and story and screenplay supervisor Earl Kress, who died on September 19, 2011, from liver cancer.

## Plot

Robin Hood, his companion Jerry, and the merry men attempt to ambush a tax money transport going through Sherwood Forest; The transport is a setup for a trap by the Sheriff of Nottingham, Prince John 's right-hand man who is accompanied by his henchcat Tom. However, thanks to Jerry's advance warning, Robin has summoned his Merry Men to the scene, ambushing the ambushers and successfully seizing the gold transport. When John and the Sheriff discuss this latest fiasco, the Sheriff deduces that Robin uses Jerry to ferry information to and from a spy inside the castle, and tasks Tom to catch Jerry in order to flush out the traitor.

The very same night, Robin asks Jerry to deliver a love poem to Maid Marian (played by Red), his secret contact and love interest. However, Marian is being kept company by Tom and upon spotting Jerry approaching the castle, he attempts to thwart the mouse but fails. The Sheriff devises a plan to capture Robin at a staged archery tournament, with a kiss from Marian as an additional enticement. Robin cannot resist the temptation and decides to participate, despite the misgivings of his men. When Jerry is chased by Tom while delivering a ring of love from Robin to Marian, he accidentally helps him win the contest; the Sheriff unmasks him and Robin and his men end up captured.

Jerry, the only Merry Man (besides Spike, Tyke and Friar Droopy) left at large, penetrates the castle in order to free his companions, but is discovered and engaged by Tom. As they fight in Marian's room, they are accidentally evicted by the Sheriff, who then discovers that Marian is Robin's informer and places her under arrest. Tom finally captures Jerry, but is rudely dismissed by John and the Sheriff, who have just learned to their dismay that King Richard, John's brother and the rightful King of England, is returning from the Crusades much earlier than anticipated. John and the Sheriff begin to hatch a scheme to ambush and kill Richard before he can set foot on British soil, and also decide to execute Marian for her "treachery". As a result, Tom revokes his loyalty to John, frees Jerry and teams up with him in order to free Robin and the Merry Men from prison.

Meanwhile, John, the Sheriff and their henchmen ride off to set their trap for Richard. Spike, Tyke and Droopy enter the castle unchallenged and, while looking for their comrades, end up freeing Marian. After Spike discovers the location for John's ambush, Tom, Jerry, Robin and his men come to the rescue. They manage to arrive in the proverbial nick of time to thwart the assassination, forcing John and the Sheriff to resolve the matter in close combat. Just as Robin and Richard end up helplessly before them, Tom and Jerry intervene and engage the two traitors in a swordfight, allowing Robin and Richard to extricate themselves and reenter the fray. John and the Sheriff are captured, Richard returns to his throne, Robin and Marian get married, and Tom and Jerry are knighted for their services to the crown. The duo almost get into a chase when Jerry hits Tom with his sword by mistake, but Tom quickly forgives him.

Emanuele Quercigh

# Emanuele Quercigh

## Abstract

Emanuele Quercigh (born 1934 in Naples, Italy) is an Italian particle physicist who works since 1964 at CERN, most known for the discovery of quark-gluon plasma (QGP). Quercigh moved as a child to Friuli with his mother and his younger brother after the early death of his father. Quercigh studied physics at the University of Milan in Italy, where he became assistant of professor Giuseppe Occhialini in 1959.

In 1964 Quercigh moved to Geneva, Switzerland, where he took up a position as fellow at CERN and subsequently became a staff physicist. Initially Quercigh took part in various experiments using the CERN 2 m Bubble Chamber. Then he proposed and led, together with David Lord, the ERASME project, a machine for scanning and measuring film from BEBC.

In 1974, Quercigh was appointed spokesperson of the T209 experiment, a bubble chamber experiment studying high statistics 8.25 GeV/c K–p, which discovered the φ(1850) particle–the first Regge recurrence of the φ meson –and performed a detailed study of the lifetime of the Ω–baryon, as well as a first evaluation of its spin.

As of 1979 Quercigh was the leading scientist for various CERN SPS experiments using the Omega Spectrometer, a facility he promoted with colleagues already in 1968, studying quantum chromodynamics (QCD) processes, hadron spectroscopy and particle and soft photon production mechanisms. This activity focused on the production of baryons and anti-baryons carrying one or more strange quarks in heavy-ion collisions. Quercigh was the CERN contact man or spokesman for the WA85, WA94 and WA97 experiments addressing strangeness and quark-gluon plasma. When CERN announced the observation of the QGP in February 2000, he presented the strange particle production results on behalf of these collaborations.

Together with Jürgen Schukraft and Hans Gutbrod, Quercigh laid down the foundations of the LHC ALICE experiment. He was then elected as the first chairman of the ALICE Collaboration Board on 20 April 1994 for the period from 1994 to 1998.

After retirement from CERN in 1999, Quercigh is honorary staff member. In the years 2000, 2001 and 2003 he was guest professor at the University of Padua.
