About the NAACP
Since its inception, the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP) was poised for a long, tumultuous and rewarding history. Although it may be possible to chronicle the challenging and harrowing legacy of the NAACP, the real story of the nation's most significant civil rights organization lies in the hearts and minds of the people who would not stand still while the rights of some of America's darker citizens were denied.
From the ballot box to the classroom, dedicated workers, organizers, and leaders forged this great organization and maintained its status as a champion of social justice. They fought long and hard to ensure that the voices of African Americans would be heard. The legacy of those pioneers such as W.E.B DuBois, Thurgood Marshall and Roy Wilkens, and the hundreds of thousands of nameless faces who worked tirelessly, can not and must not be forgotten.
The history of the NAACP, is one of blood, sweat and tears. From bold investigations of mob brutality, protests of mass murders, segregation and discrimination, to testimony before congressional committees on the vicious tactics used to bar African Americans from the ballot box, it was the talent and tenacity of NAACP members that saved lives and changed many negative aspects of American society. While much of its history is chronicled in books, articles, pamphlets and magazines, the true movement lies in the faces—black, white, yellow, red, and brown—united to awaken the conscientiousness of a people, and a nation. This is the legacy of the NAACP!
Fighting for Democracy
The NAACP, along with our half-million adult and youth members throughout the United States, are frontline advocates committed to raising awareness for political, educational, social and economic equality of minority group citizens in the electoral process. With approximately 2,000 adult branches, youth councils, and college chapters in 49 states, 5 countries and the District of Columbia, the NAACP is actively engaged in increasing the African American responsiveness of citizens to be fully engaged in the democratic process.
NAACP Victories
In recent years, the nation's oldest and largest civil rights organization, has made great strides forward to advance its mission to ensure the political, educational, social, and economic equality of rights of all persons and to eliminate race-based discrimination. During these years, the association has helped abolish the death penalty in New Mexico, Illinois, Connecticut and Maryland; rolled back discriminatory felony disenfranchisement laws in Delaware and Virginia; registered 374,553 new voters and mobilized 1.2 million citizens to the ballot box for the 2012 election; created a multistate financial education and advocacy program; helped increase graduation standards for NCAA athletes; played a pivotal role in downsizing the penal system in Texas and Georgia; trained black churches to fight the HIV/AIDS epidemic; and helped outlaw New York City's stop-and-frisk racial profiling program.

Long Beach Branch History
Long Beach Branch of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People was founded in 1940 by Ernest McBride and three other community activists. The NAACP launched efforts for hiring African American police officers and ending discrimination in employment and housing. In 1948, Paul Robeson, the star athlete, actor, and opera singer who was on the cutting edge of the infant civil rights movement attended a NAACP fundraiser in Long Beach. Ernest McBride, the resident historian of Long Beach's African American community, is still active in the NAACP.
Since the Long Beach Branch was chartered, many policies and practices have been changed, in addition to a multitude of issues and cases have been fought and won. African Americans were effectively barred from the Long Beach area's post-war housing boom by discriminatory sales practices and deed restrictions on new homes in Lakewood, Los Altos, and Bixby Knolls. Defense workers and veterans with GI Bill benefits were drawn to the West Side of Long Beach, which featured many homes that had deed restrictions. The NAACP worked to get housing deed restrictions removed. Another major effort of the Long Beach NAACP was to get African Americans hired on to the Long Beach police force. This became a reality in 1950, when several black males were hired. Two well known men from the group are Benny Roan, who was assigned to a downtown beat, and Charles B. Ussery, who in 1979 became the first African American Police Chief in the city of Long Beach. The branch is instrumental in causing change in the areas of education, economic development, and labor industry. On a daily basis, civil rights violations are investigated and resolved.
The Long Beach NAACP's task force report regarding the use of force training in Long Beach Police Department has caused significant changes. Many recommendations from the task force were accepted and fully implemented. The branch continues to monitor and review the city's Diversity Compliance, and Equal Opportunity Project guidelines. These guidelines include hiring, training, and awarding contracts to women, people of color, and people with disabilities.
The Long Beach Branch NAACP has developed many education and youth programs. The branch's award winning Community Impact Program promotes academic excellence, social responsibility, leadership, and community service.

Billy Ireland and Cartoons That Affect Change
by Richard Graham
Outside of basic intelligence, there is nothing more important to a good political cartoonist than ill will.
Jules Feiffer
If you can make a man laugh you can spit in his eye.
Billy Ireland
When we think about cartoons affecting change, we probably think of the most famous American editorial cartoonist, Thomas Nast - known for his successful campaign to bring down the corrupt politician William "Boss" Tweed of Tammany Hall. One of Nast's most notorious cartoons portrayed a Tammany tiger mauling the symbol of Liberty in the Roman Coliseum, with Tweed as the Emperor Nero and the caption, "What are you going to do about it?" While this is a great example of a cartoon affecting change, recently I was reminded that there are many cartoons that exemplify the lasting power and influence of this supposedly "simple" medium.

The Border Between Sadness & Joy
Submitted by Prairie Schooner on Thu, 03/20/2014 - 01:23
by Ryan Van Winkle
When I met Adam Zagajewski I was humbled by both his work and his life story. Further − as we discuss below − he has an impressive list of accolades and awards which include the Bronze Cross of Merit, and he has twice received the Officer's Cross of the Order of Polonia Restituta. He has been the recipient of a Guggenheim Fellowship and won the Neustadt International Prize for Literature. It is a joke among friends, says Polish publisher Jerzy Illg, "that Adam already won the Nobel Prize many years ago." In the original podcast, you'll hear more about Zagajewski's work, but I wanted to share his thoughts on a how a poet deals with the (very rare) problem of recognition.
RVW: What resonates with me in much of your work is this vast, sad inner life, a loneliness that seems to come from a place of contentedness.

1. You won the Prairie Schooner Book Prize in Poetry in 2013 for your collection Reliquaria, what were you doing when you heard the news that you had won? How did you feel?
Because its counter often becomes my satellite office, I was walking towards Ted & Honey, a small coffee place near our apartment. It was the start of the week. July.
There was a missed call from an unknown number. There was a voicemail that I had yet to check and, for some reason, instead of playing back that message, I cut straight to returning the call. When the voice at the other end picked up, he introduced himself as Kwame Dawes.

The Storyteller Firangi: An Interview with Professor Jonathan Gil Harris (Part 2)
by Nabina Das
In Part 2 of the interview with Jonathan Gil Harris, Professor of English at Ashoka University, we further catch up with Prof. Harris' stories of early pre- and colonial European migrants to the Indian subcontinent. Were these individuals seen as pariahs or white messiahs? Who were the European leegstretchers and dervishes? Prof. Harris' new book The First Firangis: How to Be Authentically Indian, to be published by Aleph Books soon, answers these questions. He is interested in early modern understandings of globalization and the foreign, and how these have helped shape our knowledge and experiences of bodies, disease, commerce, time, and religious difference. Apart from having authored several books, Prof. Harris is also the editor of Indography: Writing the "Indian" in Early Modern England (Palgrave, 2012).

Top 10 ACC Defensive Backs of the BCS Era
Braden Gall
The Bowl Championship Series is dead. But even the harshest of BCS detractors must acknowledge that the 16-year run was arguably the best era of college football in the history of the sport.
The era was highlighted by the advent of the BCS Championship Game, conference realignment and mega-dollar contracts for conferences, programs and coaches. But the elite athletes had a huge, if not the biggest, hand in the unprecedented growth of college football over the last two decades.
So Athlon Sports is looking back on the players that made the BCS Era great — conference-by-conference, position-by-position.
Note: Must have played at least one season between 1998-13 in the conference.
1. Dre Bly, North Carolina (1996-98)
Not only one of the coolest names in college football but one of the coolest customers on an island all by himself. Bly set the ACC single-season record with 11 interceptions in 1996 and left school with an ACC record 20 INTs in his career (both since broken). He was a consensus All-American as a freshman and sophomore (one of few in NCAA history to accomplish the feat) and was a second-round pick in the 1999 NFL Draft.
2. Anthony Poindexter, Virginia (1995-98)
He was a leader and one of the hardest-hitting players to ever play the game — and made one of the most famous tackles in NCAA history. He set a school record with 98 tackles as a sophomore and was an All-American as a junior in 1997. Despite getting injured late in the year, Poindexter earned ACC Defensive Player of the Year honors and became a two-time All-American. He was the only defensive back in the ACC to win conference Defensive Player of the Year honors during the BCS Era. The three-time, first-team All-ACC pick finished his career with 12 interceptions.
3. Jimmy Williams, Virginia Tech (2002-05)
Playing multiple positions all over the defense, Williams entered the starting lineup as a sophomore. He was a first-team All-ACC pick as a junior while leading Tech to an ACC championship with a league-leading five interceptions and 19 passes defensed. In 2005, Williams was a unanimous All-American and Jack Tatum Trophy winner as the nation's top defensive back. He was a second-round pick in the 2006 NFL Draft.
4. Antrel Rolle, Miami 2001-04)
He only played one season in the ACC but it was a good one. Along with Sean Taylor, Rolle was one of just four true freshmen to play on the dominant 2001 BCS National Championship team. He was an All-Big East pick as a sophomore and a unanimous All-American in the ACC in 2004 as a senior. He played safety in the NFL after being selected eighth overall pick in the 2005 NFL Draft, but he was an elite college cornerback, shutting down names like Larry Fitzgerald (3 rec., 26 yds) and Calvin Johnson (2 rec., 10 yds) during his career.
5. Alphonso Smith, CB, Wake Forest (2005-08)
The two-time, first-team All-ACC pick led the ACC in interceptions and passes defended in both 2007 and '08. He totaled 15 picks and 38 passes broken up over that span. He was a consensus All-American as a senior and his 21 career interceptions is an ACC all-time record. Additionally, he scored on four INT returns, tying Randy Neal of Virginia for the all-time ACC record.
6. David Amerson, NC State (2010-12)
When it comes to interceptions, few have been better in the ACC than Amerson. The Wolfpack coverman set an ACC record and led the nation with 13 interceptions in his 2011 sophomore season. His 18 career picks rank third all-time and his 287 return yards are fourth all-time in ACC history. Amerson won the Jack Tatum Trophy as the nation's top defensive back and was a first-team All-American as well. He finished with 177 tackles and three INT touchdown returns for his career. Amerson was a second-round pick in the 2013 NFL Draft.
7. Lamarcus Joyner, Florida State (2009-13)
There wasn't much that Joyner didn't accomplish while at Florida State. The five-star recruit played 55 career games, won two ACC titles and a BCS National Championship while earning back-to-back first-team All-ACC honors. Joyner finished with 197 tackles, 10.5 for loss, 6.5 sacks, eight interceptions and 1,260 return yards.
8. Brandon Flowers, Virginia Tech (2004-07)
One of best tackling cornerbacks in the NFL, Flowers started the final 27 games of his career before leaving early for the NFL Draft in 2008. He played on two ACC championship teams and was an All-American in 2007. He finished his career with 157 tackles, 17.0 for loss, 3.5 sacks, 10 interceptions and 40 passes defensed in three seasons on the field before Kansas City took him in the second round.
9. Robert Carswell, Clemson (1997-2000)
A leader both on and off the field, Carswell is one of the Tigers' greatest players. He was named to the first-team All-ACC squad twice, started 41 consecutive games and is the all-time tackle leader for any defensive back in Clemson history with over 373 stops.
10. Victor Harris, Virginia Tech (2005-08)
The two-time, first-team All-ACC pick helped lead Tech to back-to-back ACC championships during his junior and senior seasons. His 15 career interceptions are a school record and good for 15th all-time in ACC history. His 278 return yards are tied for fifth all-time in ACC history. Harris posted 128 total tackles and scored on five return touchdowns.
Just missed the cut:
11. Tay Cody, Florida State (1996-2000)
Cody played on three consecutive teams that made it to the BCS national title game and was a consensus All-American on the 2000 squad that lost to Oklahoma. He finished his career with 12 career interceptions and was a third-round NFL Draft pick.
12. Tye Hill, Clemson (2002-05)
After playing running back as a freshman, Hill switched to cornerback and excelled for three seasons on defense. He eventually earned All-ACC honors and was a consensus All-American and Thorpe Finalist in his final season at Clemson. He had 114 total tackles in three full seasons as a starter.
13. Ross Cockrell, Duke (2010-13)
As one of the senior leaders for the Blue Devils, Cockrell helped his program reach unprecedented levels of success on the field. He was a two-time, first-team All-ACC pick on the only back-to-back bowl teams in Duke history. He posted 233 tackles and 12 interceptions during his career, but he will always be remembered for being a key part of the first 10-win in school history.
14. Morgan Burnett, Georgia Tech (2007-09)
Few players can match the raw talent of the current Packers' starting safety. He was a three-year performer for Tech and posted 235 tackles, 13.5 for loss, 32 passes deflected and 14 interceptions before leaving early for the NFL Draft in 2010.
15. John Talley, Duke (2003-06)
Talley was a two-time, first-team All-ACC pick and is the ACC's all-time leader with 395 interception return yards. His 18 career interceptions rank third all-time in ACC history and he earned All-American honors following a senior campaign that included an ACC-leading seven INTs along with 42 tackles (5.5 for loss).
16. Chase Minnifield, Virginia (2008-11)
After playing all 36 games in his first three seasons for bad UVa teams, Minnifield helped return the Cavaliers to their only bowl game in the last six seasons. He was a two-time, first-team All-ACC selection and finished his career with 151 tackles, 12.0 for loss, 13 interceptions, 30 passes defensed and nearly 1,200 return yards.
17. Jayron Hosley, Virginia Tech (2009-11)
He played in all 39 games of his career, starting for two full seasons and earning first-team All-ACC honors as a sophomore. His nine interceptions that year are a Tech single-season record and are fourth all-time in ACC history. He also sits 15th all-time in the ACC with 815 punt return yards. Hosley posted 109 tackles and 12 INTs in his three-year career.
18. Jamie Silva, Boston College (2004-07)
One of only a handful of consensus All-Americans from the ACC at DB, Silva earned that honor with a league-leading eight interceptions in his final season. He was a three-year starter in ACC play (one year in the Big East) and had 269 tackles, 15.0 for loss and 13 interceptions in three ACC seasons.
19. Terrence Holt, NC State (1999-02)
A three-year starter and special teams force, Holt was a two-time All-ACC first-teamer and had a unique knack for blocking kicks. He posted 12 career blocks — eight field goals and four punts — and collected 307 career tackles.
20. DeAndre McDaniel, Clemson (2007-10)
The troubled Clemson defensive back was a freshman All-ACC pick in 2007 and a two-time, first-team All-ACC pick as a junior and senior. Despite major off-the-field issues, McDaniel finished with 275 tackles, 20.0 for loss and 15 interceptions.
Best of the rest:
21. Dexter Reid, North Carolina (2000-03)
22. Lloyd Harrison, NC State (1996-99)
23. Kelly Jennings, Miami (2002-05)
24. Josh Gattis, Wake Forest (2003-06)
25. Chris Hope, Florida State (1999-2001)
26. Kenny Phillips, Miami (2005-07)
27. Xavier Rhodes, Florida State (2010-12)
28. Brandon Harris Miami (2008-10)
29. Antwan Edwards, Clemson (1995-98)

TV Now and into 2021 – What are the industry developments impacting clients and agencies
Wendy Chesterfield
TV/video is being consumed across multiple screens in many ways and our TV networks recognise the importance of staying technologically relevant and providing innovative solutions to agencies and advertisers in order to be easily accessible and results focused.
Here's a brief overview of their plans for 2020 and beyond.
TV networks and their multiple channels
Australia now has a multitude of linear free-to-air and subscription channels as well as BVOD (Broadcast Video On Demand) channels including 7Plus, 9Now, 10 Play, SBS On Demand and Foxtel Now.
As the number of channels grew over time, it was obvious that TV trading needed to be simplified and automated to provide agencies a means to buy airtime cost and time efficiently, whilst still ensuring that client's commercials were reaching the right audience at the right time.
Dynamic Trading on TV
Networks 9 and Foxtel have had dynamic trading (ie airtime bought via an automated platform targeting specific OzTAM demographics) available via their own platforms for a while now. Networks 7 and 10 have now come on board.
These platforms (either self serve or run by the broadcasters) allow agencies and advertisers to plan and buy advertising campaigns that deliver agreed upon ratings/impressions at an agreed cost. This negates shortfalls on campaign delivery necessitating make goods for campaigns that have under delivered. At this stage most networks have limitations on channels or time zones that are able to be traded dynamically ie typically, peak zone on the network's primary channels are excluded.
Advertisers will still be able to hand pick programmes if required eg premium content, programmes that may be contextually relevant for their brand/product or for sponsorship/integration opportunities.
The next big step is the announcement that Australian broadcasters will partner with Nine's automated television trading tool 9Galaxy to launch a demand-side buying platform (DSP) which is expected to be operational by mid 2021.
This will provide agencies with a single interface for buying linear TV, live streaming and broadcast video on demand (BVOD) with audience measurement using Virtual Australia, or 'VOZ'. VOZ will bring together broadcast plus viewing on TV sets and connected devices (smart TVs, desktop/laptop computers, tablets and smartphones) to provide all-screen, cross-platform planning and reporting for Australia's television industry.
Following the announcement, ThinkTV CEO Kim Portrate said this is a "red-letter day" for the television industry and its agency partners.
"The collaboration of broadcasters to select the technology to allow for a single platform to purchase TV speaks to the power of the TV business," Portrate says.
"The incredible impact of this move will be felt for years to come."

Last summer, the school held its second summer day camp, with the theme of "My Lithuania's 100 Birthday". The school also organizes events and excursions for its students, and all interested children in the community are invited. This fall they were taken to a farm to pick a pumpkin for Halloween and learned the names of various farm animals in Lithuanian. The children enjoyed a tractor ride, the corn labyrinth and the Fairy Tale Forest as well as a picnic in the pumpkin field. Many other events are planned for this year, with thanks to the Lithuanian Canadian Foundation and everyone who has supported the school.

What is South Shore Hospital's Early Labor Lounge?
Early labor can be uncomfortable for moms. Contractions begin and the cervix begins to soften and open as her baby begins to enter the birth canal. For first-time moms, this longest phase of labor can last for days.
At South Shore Hospital, we have a great resource for moms who are in early labor, but aren't quite ready to deliver: Our Early Labor Lounge.
Here are answers to a few frequently asked questions about this space.
What is the Early Labor Lounge?
The Early Labor Lounge is a space for mom and her support team to use while they are in early labor. It is a home-like, relaxing space with low-lighting, soothing music, yoga mats, birthing balls, comfortable chairs and rebozos. Additionally, there are heating packs, tennis balls and rolling pins for massage and tools for acupressure.
Who can use the Early Labor Lounge?
The lounge is available for any South Shore Hospital patient in early labor—whether labor is occurring spontaneously or being induced. It can provide a space for moms who are too early in labor to be admitted to the hospital, but for whom it is not appropriate to be discharged home.
What is the purpose of the Early Labor Lounge?
If a mom is admitted to the hospital too early in labor, sometimes the her hormones can shift, causing labor to slow down. The idea of the Labor Lounge is to create a comfortable space to allow early labor to continue as naturally as if she were still at home. We can then admit mom when she is truly in active labor. This reduces the risk of having a Cesarean delivery.
Can only one patient use the Lounge at one time?
Usually, the Labor Lounge is only occupied by one patient. If there is more than one mom who needs the space, a privacy screen available.
South Shore Hospital is proud to offer this space to ease the discomfort of early labor.

Having a brand tone of voice is part of what makes your brand. It humanises you, makes you relatable and empathetic, and reveals your character. When price is the same, the only difference between one brand and another is how they make the consumer feel about their brands. So with that in mind, it's pretty clear why brands need to have their own tone of voice.
The difficulty comes with how to apply a brand tone of voice. How do you write from the point of view of a business? How do you remove your own natural tone from the writing? How do you share the brand tone of voice with all those who will be writing for the brand?
We'll be exploring what makes a brand tone of voice, why every brand needs one, and how to go about creating one.
Why have a brand tone of voice?
How to create a brand tone of voice.
Your brand tone of voice is not what you say, but how you say it. There are multiple factors in a tone of voice, from the choice of words to their order, the rhythm and the pace.
Every time you speak aloud, you utilise your own tone of voice without even thinking. This varies depending on who you're speaking to and for what purpose. Think how your language and words change when you talk to your boss compared to a conversation with a friend.
Exhibit A: We have a competition coming up, we've got a great prize to give away and you can enter below.
Exhibit B: Keep your eyes peeled for our latest competition! We've got a juicy prize up for grabs, and all you need to do to be in with a chance is enter your details below.
Okay so we've exaggerated both, but however you feel about exhibit B, you have to admit it's got character. Both sentences say the same thing, but descriptive words, interesting grammar, and upbeat tone gives the reader an idea of who is writing exhibit B, creating that personal tone. The essence of great branding isn't convincing people you're not a brand; it's making an emotional connection.
There are so many examples of brands that have their tone of voice spot on, the most prominent being innocent. From its witty packaging and unexpected blogs, to the brand's prolific tweeting, the voice of innocent is instantly recognisable in its simple, silly honesty.
The Dove brand is passionate and proud, and has inspired a cult following with its honest campaigns about real beauty. It's not just the imagery and the poignancy of the campaigns that makes Dove so empowering, though. Dove understands its audience inside out, and is not afraid to target them, and it also pinpoints key issues that it's demographic faces. Simple, clear and to the point language ("The beauty we see in the media is a myth") with everyday colloquialisms ("muffin top") simultaneously mirrors the brand's key objectives and encourages readers to interact.
Another brand that has perfected its tone is Very British Problems. It's short, snappy, awkward tone works magically on Twitter, resulting in relatable, shareable snippets from the brand that have been so successful they've led to multiple books, an apparel website, and inspired a TV program.
All three of these brands' business beliefs are at the centre of their tones, as well as a hefty dose of personality. A well-implemented tone provides the reader with an instant idea of who the brand is, and what it stands for, simply from reading a tweet or a product description.
A good brand tone of voice reveals the personality behind the brand. Put simply, if your business sells the same product or service at the same price as a competitor, the only difference for the user will be how they feel about your brand. Your tone of voice allows you to build that connection with your customer. If your tone has made your customer feel positive towards your business, then you're more likely to get the sale.
However, a tone of voice isn't purely about making sales. A tone of voice takes you from being a commodity and makes you a brand. With this comes brand loyalty, personality, humour, plus the sharing of values, beliefs and goals. And the most important part? Trust.
People are incredibly sensitive to language – we perceive an affront at the absence of an 'x' at the end of a text, and laugh at the simple differences in grammar and punctuation. Over time your brand tone of voice will become familiar to your customers, and we humans are generally most comfortable around scenarios we are familiar with.
Your brand tone of voice should go without notice. It needs to be synonymous with your brand, and reflect your business objectives. To veer wildly from your core brand objectives in your tone of voice will make your customers question your motives, and potentially break any trust they had towards your brand.
Lay out the business' core purpose; why was it set up?
What do you sell/offer your customers?
Pin down your brand's values.
Analyse your current writing – what do you have to tell the world?
Explore emails sent from your colleagues. How formal are they?
How would you explain your business to a client?
Read your work aloud, if it sounds stilted or awkward, it could mean your tone of voice is too formal, or you're trying to force humour or chattiness into it where it just doesn't fit. The thing about a tone of voice is the context has to be taken into account. A trivial tone of voice for a car breakdown firm could be taken in the wrong way, while a thoroughly formal tone for a food magazine will be boring.
Quickfire task: Describe your brand in three words. Any three words or phrases, descriptive or not, for example: playful, cheeky, a friend. Or: adventure, push yourself, whirlwind.
The tone of voice is also flexible – there are no set rules for what to use when. While your tone will naturally be more formal for pitches, it can be chatty on social media. Find a good balance for your brand, and decide how far you want to stretch it on either side of formality.
And finally, always, always be regimental with your spelling and grammar. Customers are beady-eyed and all too obliging to point out mistakes, meaning one slip up could end in an embarrassingly public pointer.
To sum up, a tone of voice leads to familiarity, familiarity leads to comfort, comfort leads to trust, trust (in business terms) leads to loyal customers. And that's why you need a brand tone of voice!
If you have any queries, or you've got a special trick for pinning down your tone, get in touch on Twitter or Facebook.

Why Dwayne The Rock Johnson is 'franchise viagra'
Ben Skipper
Yahoo UK Movies Features 28 March 2013
On Twitter he's a bastion of inspiration to millions of followers, in the ring he's the current WWE Champion and on film he's an action hero.
Dwayne 'The Rock' Johnson earned the right to be called all of those things, but there's one mantle he awarded himself – "franchise viagra". That's what he told us anyway, and it's hard to disagree. In the last two years he has barged his way into two near-dead franchises and turned both into huge money-spinners. So, what's his secret? Well, "I'm six-foot-four, 260 pounds of brown-eyed soul," he jokes.
Check out our interview with The Rock above.
[Related story: Exclusive G.I. Joe: Retaliation character videos]
[Related story: Fast & Furious 6: First full-length trailer]
First came 'Fast & Furious 5' which took over £414 million ($625m) worldwide, compared to £238 million ($360m) for the previous instalment of the series. It also received heftier praise from critics, who lavished acclaim on the series' most fun outing.
Last year it was 'Journey 2: The Mysterious Island', a sequel to the 'Journey To The Centre Of The Earth' remake with Brendan Fraser. With Fraser as its star it raked in £160 million ($242m), with The Rock front and centre it topped the US box office chart, making over £50 million more.
Next up is 'G.I. Joe: Retaliation'. The original made a little over £200 million ($302m) in 2009 and was largely panned by critics. Paramount's decision to delay the release of the sequel from last summer's crowded release schedule goes to show how badly they want 'G.I. Joe' to succeed as a series. And the film's secret weapon isn't the additional 3D, it's The Rock.
None of these films are the most thought-provoking pieces of work but they don't have to be, want to be, or even try to be. Dwayne Johnson knows exactly what he's good at, what he's not so good at, and what kind of roles he needs to perform in to fill cinemas around the globe.
It all started with World Wrestling Entertainment, or the World Wrestling Federation as it once was known when a young Johnson walked in to try and emulate his father and grandfather – two Hall of Fame inducted wrestlers themselves.
First known as Rocky Maivia he was a flop, but after an injury side-lined him he returned microphone in hand as The Rock and the rest is pay-per-view-selling history.
Wrestling is the subject of a lot of ridicule - ridicule there's no point in dwelling on, but what can be said about it is that as a mad and thoroughly American form of entertainment, it certainly gives a wannabe actor some of the tools to be a success.
Week in and week out The Rock, like many before and since, face live crowds both on and off television and perform either by putting their bodies on the line in matches or cutting promos to ridicule bad guys or make the crowd hate them.
And you better believe the crowds once hated The Rock. It doesn't matter what the scenario is, talking at length in front of a crowd of thousands, if not millions, takes bravery, and to keep that crowd in the palm of your hand for years on end takes undoubted skill.
It's what gave The Rock aspirations of becoming a movie star and after a few brief cameos he got his first starring role in 2002's 'The Scorpion King', a spin-off from the successful 'Mummy' films of the late nineties.
From there he took a break from the busy schedule of the wrestling ring to try and crack Hollywood, which took a while and definitely didn't go smoothly. Despite perfectly acceptable if not Earth-shattering films like the fun 'Welcome To The Jungle' and 'Walking Tall' he also suffered his fair share of flops.
Video game adaptation 'Doom' was one of them, quickly followed by Richard Kelly 's 'Donnie Darko' follow-up 'Southland Tales', a critically-panned and memorably confusing indie flick.
Johnson's never say die attitude and incredible charm kept the jobs coming however and eventually it paid dividends. Bigger budget films came his way in the form of comedies starring Steve Carell ('Get Smart') and Will Ferrell ('The Other Guys').
There were still missteps here and there however. For example The Rock may never live down 'The Tooth Fairy', but before long he landed the role that would propel him to the top.
As Hobbs in 'Fast & Furious 5' Johnson played to his strengths. Hobbs was no-nonsense and stood on the right side of the law from Vin Diesel and Paul Walker, who he chased but eventually colluded with to take down a common foe.
Their alliance was brief and the film ended with the series-long main characters on the run once more, but The Rock will be back in the sixth instalment set for this year, this time as one of the top billed stars.
While Sylvester Stallone and Arnold Schwarzenegger try to reignite the spark that made them stars years ago, Dwayne Johnson stands tall as this generation's only true action icon. He's a star from the same mould as those legendary names and one whose nickname is just as widely recognised.
He appeals to both children and the inner-child of many of the adults who watched his rise to stardom at the turn of the century. Johnson's electrifying personality and understanding of the inherent madness of his work simply makes people want to watch him do what he does best – perform.
The Rock returned to WWE two years ago as an A-list star and has since wrestled a number of times while maintaining a busy acting schedule. His homecoming is a sign that he made it - he certainly doesn't need to wrestle any more, but he does it anyway out of passion.
It is this passion that made him a success and drove him to the top. He's a world-famous star whose work ethic and physique makes everyone else look bad by comparison, but he always wins them back with a grin, a joke and a raise of that famous people's eyebrow.

In recent years, the relationship between the durability and the degradation of concrete irrigation infrastructure has been discussed as a technical problem. In this study, the development of a damage estimation method for deteriorated structures will be performed by applying the acoustic emission method (AE). A quantitative damage evaluation of concrete that involves applying AE and damage mechanics in a compression test has been proposed by the authors in RILEM TC-212ACD. The procedure is named improved system for damage estimation of concrete by acoustic emission technique (i-DeCAT) and is based on evaluating detected AE energy trends in core tests. Prior to the compression test, the distribution of micro-cracks in a concrete-core sample is inspected by helical X-ray computed tomography. Then, freeze–thawed damaged samples are tested by the compression test. Thus, it is demonstrated that the concentration of material damage could be evaluated by comparing the geometrical characteristics of cracks with the "energy rate" of AE generation, which is analyzed by AE parameter analysis. A relation between AE energy rate and damage parameters is correlated, and thus the damage of concrete is qualitatively estimated by i-DeCAT.

With State Senate in Dem Hands, Cuomo Sees the Light on Legal Pot
By Carlo Versano
Sensing the shifting political winds, New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo is reportedly planning to introduce a "green new deal" that would legalize recreational pot as part of the inaugural speech he will deliver from Ellis Island on New Year's Day.
Michael Gianaris, a New York state senator from Queens and member of the new Democratic majority in Albany, told Cheddar that "the time has come" for the Empire State to move forward on pot legalization.
"It's something that people are doing anyway," he said, arguing that the tax revenue generated from pot sales could help act as a form of "recompense" for minority communities adversely affected by decades of Draconian drug laws.
Will Bredderman of Crain's New York Business has been covering Cuomo's changing attitudes on marijuana, which the governor called a "gateway drug" just last year.
Now, with the state senate in the hands of Democrats after being controlled by Republicans more or less uninterrupted since the 1970s, liberal groups see this as the moment to chalk up a "fairly easy win" on an issue held dear to many progressives, according to Bredderman.
If New York legalizes marijuana for recreational use, experts believe it could bring in somewhere between $200 million and $700 million a year. That sounds like a lot, but think of it like this: the plan to modernize New York City's failing subway system calls for $40 billion in funding.
"It's really not that much money," Bredderman said. The bigger gain would be in jobs created and income tax generated ー from growing facilities to retail dispensaries. "That has potential to be quite large."
There's also what Bredderman called the "spin-off effects" from taking pot off the black market and easing enforcement of low-level marijuana offenses, which some state DAs have already committed to doing.
For Cuomo, the real win would be in the realm of politics, especially after the primary, in which he easily dispatched challenger Cynthia Nixon but was pressured by her supporters to move leftward for his final term in office. Marijuana legalization in a state like New York is likely to have bipartisan support, Bredderman said, and is widely popular among New Yorkers across demographics.
"A lot of people smoke marijuana," he said.

Cannabis Legalization Remains Priority, Says New York Governor in Annual Address
Adult-use cannabis legalization remains a priority for New York, said Gov. Andrew Cuomo, who has put social justice-focused legalization on his 2020 to-do list.
Don't Credit Cynthia Nixon for Cuomo's Pot Shift: N.Y. Assemblyman Gottfried
New York Governor Andrew Cuomo may have radically changed his stance on marijuana ー but his former Democratic primary opponent Cynthia Nixon shouldn't be congratulated for his shift, according to New York State Assembly Health Committee chair Richard Gottfried. "On this particular issue, I don't think she gets any credit," Gottfried, who has been working on marijuana policy reform since the 70s, told Cheddar Wednesday.
New York Gov. Cuomo Calls for Fast Timeline to Cannabis Legalization
Not only has New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo reversed his stance on marijuana, but he's also expediting his timeline for legalization. According to Joseph Spector, the Albany bureau chief for USA Today, the Cuomo committed to an accelerated schedule on Monday when he charted the agenda for his first 100 days in office.

Blake Clarke had a goal and two assists as the Brampton Battalion defeated the Eastern Conference leading Barrie Colts 4-1 on Sunday afternoon in Ontario Hockey League play.
"It's exciting to get a win against the top team in the Eastern Conference," said Clarke. "Definitely a confidence builder for us."
Derek Froats and Jamie Lewis scored goals 15 seconds apart in the first period to erase an early 1-0 deficit for the Battalion (5-4-4), who have won three of their last four outings, while Patrik Machac rounded out the scoring with a single goal.
Aaron Ekblad scored the lone goal for the Colts (9-3-1), who have now dropped back-to-back games after winning eight in a row.
Brampton's Matej Machovsky made 24 saves for the win as Barrie's Alex Fotinos allowed four goals on 25 shots before being relieved by Mathias Niederberger.
Niederberger stopped each of the 13 shots that he faced in 25 minutes of action.
The Battalion capitalized on 2-of-3 opportunities with the man advantage while the Colts went 1 for 6 on the power play.
Elsewhere in the OHL, it was: London 4, Sudbury 2; Plymouth 4, Oshawa 2; Kitchener 5, Kingston 2; and Guelph 7, Sault Ste. Marie 1.
At Brampton, Ont., Ekblad put the Colts on the board with a power-play goal less than two minutes into the game, as his one timer from the point made it through traffic.
Froats tied the game at 13:25 and Lewis quickly made it 2-1 when he scored off a rebound.
Machac made it 3-1 on the power play with just nine seconds remaining in the first, jamming home a loose puck at the side of the net.
Clarke chased Fotinos from the net with a power-play goal with less than six minutes to play in the second.
At Sudbury, Ont., Olli Maatta scored once and set up two more and Kevin Bailie made 35 saves as London (7-3-1) doubled up the Wolves (6-7-0), who have now lost six of their last seven games.
At Oshawa, Ont., Cody Payne scored twice, including the game winner, and Matt Mahalak made 29 saves as Plymouth (5-3-3) doubled up the Generals (8-4-1).
At Kitchener, Ont., Ryan Murphy and Tobias Rieder each had a goal and two assists as the Rangers (6-4-1) beat Kingston (5-6-0) for their third straight win.
At Sault Ste. Marie, Ont., Garret Sparks made 45 saves and seven different players scored for Guelph (9-2-1) in a crushing win over the Greyhounds (7-6-0).

Firstly, we are sorry about all happened in the past days. We know how hard it is for you to still choose staying. However, same here. For a small team, it's not easy to run a game so long. Even though that's not a good excuse, it's truth. Like we have admited before, when everything goes well, we have extra energy to prepare updating and organizing kinds of events like before. Now, all time are spent to prevent and fix endless cheating.

This hair clip is made of an elongated piece of silver with rounded corners. On the surface, the German phrase for "Please Turn Over" is imprinted, which makes this hair clip seem a bit ironic and humorous. This hair clip features a clasp mechanism that is suitable for all hair types. (What is German Silver? More information: German Silver).

Model Nine Lynx - Disappearing Hood
Transmission 4 Speed Manual
One of the prettiest small sporting Tourers the Riley Nine, when introduced in 1926, "marked a real advance in touring car design", so said that legendary motoring Historian, John Stanford. And he was right. Although the 4-cylinder engine was of only 1100cc capacity, it possessed performance which was equal to many cars in the 2-litre class of the period. It really was in many ways the forerunner of high efficiency small cars of the future decades.
Indeed, the Nine remained a lynchpin of the Riley model range, changing very little in essence, for the next decade. With the masterly input of World Land Speed Record holder, J.G. Parry Thomas, the Nine was developed (as the Brooklands Model) into a formidable competition car and this racing experience helped to maintain the Nine's position at the top of its category and to make it such a popular and versatile car.
The car offered here carries the most attractive factory Lynx 4-seater tourer coachwork incorporating the ingenious disappearing hood and only ran from late 1932 until September 1933. This allowed the smooth lines of the car to remain unfettered by fabric and frame once the hood is stowed.
APC81 has been the subject of an excellent older restoration which has aged well and allowed the car to remain in virtual constant use ever since. Carrying a delightful well-loved and lived in character, like one's favourite armchair, it has seen use in numerous local vintage road runs and rallies. It has also been an invited airside exhibit alongside the Spitfires, Hurricanes, and other stars of the legendary Goodwood Revival for the past 5 or so years.
With a recent top end overhaul by marque expert Keith Pointing, this delightfully honest and attractive example of the Lynx model should continue to provide practical and reliable pre-war transport for another eight decades for all manner of vintage events and road trips.
It would be a pleasure to answer any further questions you might have. This lovely Riley 9 Lynx can be inspected at my Guildford showroom - please call me directly on 07788 865700.
